McBride played the heel to Kekoa\u2019s babyface. The finish came when Kekoa\u2019s wife slapped McBride after McBride tried to ruin a gender reveal. At the conclusion of the match, Kekoa, his wife and daughter did the gender reveal anyway and found out they are having a girl.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(2) VITA VON STARR vs DANI MO<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Von Starr won with her handstand Vader Bomb, Helter Skelter, in 5:34<\/p>\n<p><em>(Maitland\u2019s Thoughts: Match was a lot shorter than I thought it would be. Dani Mo\u2019s rope walk splash was impressive and Von Starr\u2019s victory puts her in a position to get a shot at the MCW Women\u2019s Title.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p>-Highlights are shown of the two previous matches between Action Andretti and Ninja Mack<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-1138970799\" class=\"pwtor-content pwtor-entity-placement\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x250\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p><strong>(3) ACTION ANDRETTI vs NINJA MACK<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Andretti won with a Fireperson\u2019s Carry into a Neckbreaker in 11:57<\/p>\n<p>(Maitland\u2019s Thoughts: Very athletic contest between two men who wrestled before and knew each other very well. They countered each other and want to one up each other through the match. Ninja Mack had the time to put in a better display than at Supercard of Honor. I was not familiar with Andretti before but he is someone that I will look out for in the future.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>(4) SIGMA MALES vs THE CARTEL vs KILLIAN MCMURPHY &amp; MYLES HAWKINS vs BLACK WALLSTREET vs SHAUN CANNON &amp; JB ANDERSON vs PAT BRINK &amp;ALEX ODIN &#8211; Tag Team Gauntlet Match for the MCW Tag Team Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Cartel defeated the Sigma Males with a top rope splash in 1:32.<\/p>\n<p>McMurphy and Hawkins defeated The Cartel with Total Elimination in 3:29.<\/p>\n<p>Black Wallstreet defeated McMurphy and Hawkins with a 3D in 4:46.<\/p>\n<p>Black Wallstreet defeated Cannon and Anderson with a 3D in 6:35.<\/p><div id=\"pwtor-2505119867\" class=\"pwtor-content-1 pwtor-entity-placement\"><!-- Tag ID: pwtorchcom_test_300x600 -->\r\n<div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280 __300x600\" id=\"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_test_300x600\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Brink defeat Black Wallstreat with a moonsault in 9:15 to retain the MCW Tag Team Championship.<\/p>\n<p>-After the match the Jacobs Family head to the ring and appear to be looking t fight Brink &amp; Odin and Black Wallstreet. They decide to leave instead.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Maitland\u2019s Thoughts: It\u2019s hard to get a handle of these tag teams when a gauntlet match doesn\u2019t reach 10 minutes. Black Wallstreet got two wins and wrestled almost three minutes against Brink and Odin so they fared better than most but this was not a good display for the MCW Tag Team division.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(5) ANGEL ALVARADO vs TIM SPRIGGS<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Spriggs won with a referee stoppage due to a guillotine choke in 42 seconds.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Maitland\u2019s Thoughts: This was one of the greatest squash matches I have ever seen. Spriggs is an MMA fighter who comes out with an entourage and celebrates for a long time before getting into the ring. The referee starts a count to get Spriggs in the ring. Spriggs waits until the last second and still wins decisively. As impressive as you could imagine.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(6) GIA SCOTT (c) with DEMARCUS KANE vs KILYNN KING &#8211; MCW Women&#8217;s Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Scott retains the MCW Women\u2019s Championship by holding the tights on a roll up in 6:27.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Maitland\u2019s Thoughts: Mandy Leon was originally advertised for this match. Another finish that came out of nowhere though there was interference from Kane. The work was fine but the finish caught me off guard just like it did in the previous women\u2019s match.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(7) ROBERT LOCKE &amp; ERIC MARTIN vs JOE KEYS &amp; DANTE CABALLERO &#8211; MCW Tag Team Championship Number One Contender Match<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Martin pins Caballero with a Full Nelson Slam from Locke after Locke spit gin in Caballero\u2019s face in 7:36. Locke &amp; Martin become the #1 contenders for the MCW Tag Team Championship.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Maitland\u2019s Thoughts: This match never entered the next gear. It might have if they had more time. There was a lot of interference for the finish. After seeing Keys &amp; Caballero as a tag team here and in Terminus, I am hoping that they continue to team for the foreseeable future.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(8) CHRIS BEY vs MIKE BAILEY vs JOEY JANELA &#8211; Shamrock Cup Qualifier<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Janela qualified for the Shamrock Cup by pinning Bey with a school boy while holding the tights in 15:23.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Maitland\u2019s Thoughts: This was a lot of good action. The triple threat rules allowed for a lot of innovative moves and the breaking up of pinning attempts. Janela acted as the heel throughout the match so it was not a surprise that he cheated to win.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(9) DEMARCUS KANE (c) with GIA SCOTT vs O\u2019SHAY EDWARDS &#8211; MCW Rage TV Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kane retained the MCW Rage TV Championship after pinning Edwards with a Falcon Arrow in 5:17.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Maitland\u2019s Thoughts: Gia Scott interfered in this match repeatedly and Kane raked Edwards\u2019 eyes in front of the referee which led to the finish. Good for what it was but very short for a title match.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(10) KEN DIXON (c) vs NICK ALDIS vs BRIAN JOHNSON vs MOSES &#8211; MCW Heavyweight Championship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dixon retained the MCW Heavyweight Title by pinning Johnson after hitting a FlapJack in 14:45.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Maitland\u2019s Thoughts: My favorite match of the show. Aldis is the consummate professional. Moses looked to be in the best shape that I have ever seen him. Johnson is one of my pandemic all-stars, someone who I did not know much about pre 2020 but turned me into a fan. Johnson was preoccupied with Dixon throughout the match which led to Dixon getting his revenge with the finish.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>(11) OGK (MATT TAVEN &amp; MIKE BENNETT) vs MATT &amp; JEFF HARDY<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Matt &amp; Jeff Hardy won in 14:58 after Jeff pinned Taven with a top rope splash. After the match, Taven &amp; Bennett had to do the Jeff Hardy Juke because they lost. While doing it, the Hardys hit them with a Twist of Fate.<\/p>\n<p><em>(Maitland\u2019s Thoughts: The match was a good representation of the Hardys on their farewell tour. OGK did a great job playing heels to make the main event special for the fans in attendance.)<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>OVERALL THOUGHTS:<\/strong>\u00a0The biggest issue with this show was the sound quality. The sound was about 5 seconds behind and it hurt the presentation. Not sure if that was on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MCWWrestling\">MCW or FITE TV<\/a>. The next MCW show on FITE TV will be in July and hopefully they will have that figured out by then. Nonetheless, the show was enjoyable. Some of the matches were short and didn\u2019t really get going. Three of the last four matches had the most well-known wrestlers so they received the most time. The crowd was very happy to see the Hardys and OGK played their part. Justin McClelland and I will be discussing this show in greater detail on the PWTorch Dailycast Wrestling Coast to Coast on Thursday.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>CATCH-UP:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/05\/16\/5-16-wwe-monday-night-raw-results-kellers-report-on-lashley-vs-omos-in-a-cage\/\">5\/16 WWE MONDAY NIGHT RAW RESULTS: Keller\u2019s report on Lashley vs. Omos in a cage, 6-Pack Challenge with Raw Title contenders, Cody Countdown, Jimmy vs. Riddle<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-685926445\"><div id=\"pwtor-3226730543\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>MCW SPRING FEVER REPORT MAY 15, 2022 (RECORDED) AIRED ON FITE TV REPORT BY CHRISTOPHER MAITLAND, PWTORCH CONTRIBUTOR MCW Commentators: Brent Tarring, Veda Scott (1) RYAN MCBRIDE vs KEKOA Kekoa wins with a frog splash <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/2022\/05\/16\/mcw-spring-fever-report\/\" title=\"5\/15 MCW SPRING FEVER REPORT: The Hardys in action, MCW Heavyweight Championship match, more\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":14,"featured_media":139622,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,622],"tags":[418,6753],"class_list":["post-139621","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tvshowsandevents","category-indy-ppv-reports","tag-mcw","tag-spring-fever"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/post\/2022\/05\/MCW-Spring-Fever.jpeg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139621","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/14"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=139621"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139621\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":139623,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/139621\/revisions\/139623"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/139622"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=139621"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=139621"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pwtorch.com\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=139621"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
