Minutes to Bell Time

Jacob Fatu defeats Brian Pillman Jr.

MLW Fusion February 8

Fatu attacked Pillman before the bell and really dominated Pillman through the first four minutes. Using picture in picture, MLW showed that Smith Jr. and the Von Erich brothers were fighting off the remaining members of Contra. Pillman hit a top rope clothesline on Fatu and climbed the ropes again. Suddenly Injustice rushed the ring and attacked Pillman. Back in the ring, Fatu hit two springboard top rope moonsaults for the pinfall victory.
