Major League Wrestling has signed PCO aka former WWE star Pierre Carl Oulette, who now does a Frankenstein’s Monster style unstoppable beast gimmick, to a deal, PWInsider.com has confirmed.
The company has also signed Paul Roma trainee Richard Holliday, who wrestled Joey Ryan at the Fury Road event in NYC. Holliday is a former ECWA Super 8 tournament winner. The company sees a lot of upside in him and sources have compared him to MJF in a positive sense in that there’s a lot of long-term potential.
