# The Crash/Major League Wrestling show

The Crash/Major League Wrestling Show was a professional wrestling supercard event co-produced by the U.S-based Major League Wrestling (MLW) and Mexico-based The Crash Lucha Libre (Crash) held in The Crash's home arena, Auditorio Fausto Gutierrez in Tijuana, Baja California, Mexico. The show was taped for episodes of MLW Fusion that aired from October 12 to 26, 2019 on BeIN Sports USA
The main event of the show was a continuation of the MLW storyline feud between L.A. Park and "Contra Unit" (Jacob Fatu, Ikuro Kwon, Josef Samael, and Simon Gotch) that was building to MLW's Saturday Night SuperFight pay-per-view on November 2, 2019. In the main event L.A. Park teamed up with The Crash main-stays La Rebelión Amarilla (Bestia 666 and Mecha Wolf 450) to defeat Kwon, Samael and Gotch. On the undercard The Crash Heavyweight Champion Rey Horus faced the MLW National Openweight Champion Alexander Hammerstone in a match where both championships were on the line. The match ended in a disqualification, with both men keeping their championships. The show featured seven additional matches.
The show was originally supposed to include matches with four Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL) wrestlers, but CMLL pulled their workers from the show when The Crash insisted on booking Dragon Lee, who had been fired from CMLL in the days leading up to the show. In addition to CMLL workers Soberano Jr., Barbaro Cavernario, Ángel de Oro, and Niebla Roja, several of the originally scheduled matches had to be changes as Jacob Fatu, Minoru Tanaka, Mance Warner, Teddy Hart, Marshall Von Erich, and Ross Von Erich ended up not working the show.

## Production
### Background

On August 8, 2019 Major League Wrestling (MLW) announced that they had formed an alliance with the Mexican based The Crash Lucha Libre professional wrestling promotion and as part of that alliance they would co-promote a show in Mexico. The show would tape matches for 3 episodes of their MLW Fusion show.
The originally announced card for the show also included wrestlers from Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (CMLL); Dragon Lee, Soberano Jr., Barbaro Cavernario, Ángel de Oro, and Niebla Roja. The matches including CMLL wrestlers were not scheduled to be aired on Fusion. On September 27, CMLL announced that they had fired Dragon Lee, followed by CMLL removing the remaining CMLL wrestlers from the joint Crash/MLW show as they kept Dragon Lee on the card afterwards.
MLW and The Crash had also announced matches including MLW regulars Jacob Fatu, Mance Warner, Teddy Hart, Marshall Von Erich, Ross Von Erich and Japanese wrestler Minoru Tanaka for the show. The six wrestlers were not part of the show, forcing most matches to be modified from the originally scheduled matches.

### Storylines

The Crash / Major League Wrestling Show featured nine professional wrestling matches scripted by The Crash with some wrestlers involved in scripted feuds. The wrestlers portray either heels (referred to as rudos in Mexico, those that play the part of the "bad guys") or faces (técnicos in Mexico, the "good guy" characters) as they perform.
