Oresama Posted July 30, 2019 Report Share Posted July 30, 2019 Held annually for nearly 50 years at various turn-of-the-century opera house locations from New York City to Boston, the Professional Wrestling Opera House Cup was a grueling multi-day tournament. The best of the day competed in the tournament and would often be an entree to more success, including the World Heavyweight Championship of the day. For years the cup has sat in the attic of the Hart Mansion in Calgary until the tragic passing of the last cup recipient, Stu Hart (1948 winner). Teddy Hart inherited the Opera House Trophy Cup upon the passing of his grandfather. Inspired by the legends whose names are immortalized in plaques on the sides of the cup, Hart has donated the cup to Major League Wrestling to reignite the spirit of the greats who preceded today and tomorrow’s greats. After a 71 year hiatus, the Opera Cup returns December 5th as MLW hosts the 2019 Opera Cup tournament at Melrose Ballroom in New York City. The event will be a FUSION TV taping for beIN SPORTS. Tickets go on sale Monday August 5 at OperaCup.com. Entries will be revealed later this fall on MLW FUSION and MLW.com. The Professional Wrestling Opera Cup is dedicated to the great men who have fought valiantly before us to ensure our passion, professional wrestling be cemented and respected in the annals of time. https://mlw.com/2019/07/30/nyc-to-host-first-opera-cup-in-over-70-years/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Zombie Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 If that backstory is completely legit then this sounds super cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motown Saint Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 If that backstory is completely legit then this sounds super cool Agreed. Hopefully, it works out better than the return of the Crockett Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generations Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 If that backstory is completely legit then this sounds super cool Agreed. Hopefully, it works out better than the return of the Crockett Cup. The Crockett Cup was one of the most enjoyable events of the entire year, from start to finish... Lame team won the finals...but, it's not like the return of the event was bad at all... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Generations Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 I'm sure it will be...for the simple fact that MLW has a much better roster than NWA was using for that show. Especially with recent ties to AAA and NOAH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motown Saint Posted August 16, 2019 Report Share Posted August 16, 2019 I don't know about everyone else, but I love MLW's presentation. From the lighting, to the matches, to the commentary. I wish they had a TV deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they had a TV deal. They're on Bein Sports, though I guess they could be on a bigger network lol But I'm not sure of too many that would be cool with them uploading the full episodes on YouTube too, which I feel is a big help to them in growing their fanbase.

Oh, okay. Thanks for the heads up on that. Honestly, I've never heard of Bein Sports, but I'll have to look for it now. Thank goodness for YouTube.

Generations Posted September 17, 2019 Report Share Posted September 17, 2019 It was crazy how few people were in attendance for the Hammerstone match in NOAH. I guess NJPW really is the only Japanese promotion that is doing well these days... I'm probably exaggerating...but that looked to be about 100 (maybe 200) people, sparsely sprinkled in random seats around the ring. I've been to actual indy shows in school gymnasiums with bigger crowds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astro Zombie Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Park/Fatu No DQ match should be a brawl. Looking forward to it. LA Park No DQ matches are pretty formulaic but Jacob Fatu is always a good thing Is MJF AEW exclusive? Hammerstone is a beast but I can't stand Holliday. He feels like someone without the charisma of MJF trying to do an MJF gimmick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
