MLW Once Upon A Time In New York Results – March 16, 2024

Tonight’s MLW Once Upon A Time In New York special kicks off with a recap package of MLW Intimidation Games that led to tonight’s event.

Cesar Duran comes out on the stage and says he’s back and bigger than ever before. Duran runs down Salina de la Renta. Duran announces he’s building a new temple for Azteca Lucha in Chicago, the crowd boos since they are in New York.

Cesar says on May 11; he will run the most spectacular Super Lucha event that has ever existed. Duran makes a challenge to Salina and tells her to bring her best luchadores to his event, and they will determine who has the power in Major League Wrestling.

Duran is about to introduce a new women’s luchador in his group that will take the MLW Featherweight Championship from Janai Kai, but he’s interrupted by Zayda and Brett Ryan Gosselin. Zayda says she doesn’t care who Duran has because she’s next in line for a shot at that championship.

Cesar asks Zayda who the hell she is and says her presence is disrespectful to him. Zayda says they got off on the wrong foot, but she wants to know why all of these Lucha promoters are so shady. Duran says it’s because they don’t deal with babies. Zayda begins to run down Salina de la Renta, who shows up on the Tron behind them and tells them all to be quiet.

An interruption from Salina de la Renta

Salina de la Renta says Zayda and Gosselin are the reason that people say blondes are dumb, but she thinks that might be a compliment because these two are more along the lines of braindead.

In the background behind Salina, Rocky Romero is pummeling one of Duran’s goons. Duran says this isn’t over and leaves. Gosselin says he wants to know why John Stamos is so mean. Zayda brings Gosling to ringside for the first match of the evening.
