MIGO's TAKE

(*Audio Disclaimer: The audio is jacked up. It’s probably best to watch it with the audio up to a lower level. If you adjust a little, it works and you can still hear some commentary, the crowd, and the bump sounds. This is a horror of dealing with old VHS tapes. I suppose it’s good that I’m transferring these over to some form of digital copy before these tapes turn to ash or something. Sorry about that, but it’s still definitely worth checking out. *)


From the very first MEW show! The main attraction of this show was the first two rounds of the 16 man MEW World Enterprise Title tournament. Anyone who wasn’t booked in the tournament OR anyone who lost their first round matches was thrown into this battle royal. The amazing part here is how young everyone looked. A big chunk of people in MEW were friends before and all trained together, but then there were guys from Illinois that came on board that became part of the MEW family off the bat. We see Machine in I believe his ONLY “non-masked” appearance in MEW, Tristin “Malakim” Hayze, and Eric “NOT Kurt Cobain” Marx. We see “the vets” from the area in there. It’s just one big ol’ bag of mixed nuts. It’s pretty entertaining and stays lively for the duration. The ending seems confusing now in retrospect. I always wanted to put out something “different” and it would often result in odd rules that would be hard to get the fans and even the wrestlers themselves to fully understand. Of anything in MEW’s past, I have no regrets at all about taking these odd-ball risks though. The little things like that are why I wanted to have my own shows to begin with. Anywho, the final four people were to be in the MEW Tag Team Title Match. The teams would be “randomly” put together. This doesn’t seem like much, but it would lay pavement for The Lost Boys taking the tag titles and the Chase Richards/Wendell Sunshine feud. Both things I couldn’t imagine early MEW without!
