MLW NEWS AND NOTES

By Mike Johnson on 2020-10-22 10:57:00

MLW taped their Restart over the weekend in Orlando, Florida and there is content being taped today and tomorrow in New Rochelle, NY being overseen by Court Bauer.    We are told morale was high at the tapings with Jacob Fatu, Alexander Hammerstone and Low Ki all standing out as locker room leaders over the course of the tapings.    The Restart material will begin to role out in November.

The promotion has been following up with talents to make sure everyone is healthy in order to insure proper contact tracing is done if necessary.

Davey Boy Smith Jr. and MLW, who had been at odds, are said to have made amends.  

There will be some version of a Trios/Six Man Tag Team title being introduced as part of the promotion's restart.

A portion of the MLW Fusion series library will be leaving the promotion's YouTube channel as part of their deal with streaming service DAZN, which will be their new destination for fans who want to watch MLW's older content.  The plan is to have premium, live PPV style events on DAZN down the line.

With their streaming partners (Fubo TV, DAZN) lined up currently, the promotion remains in talk with several different networks about potential TV deals.  The end-game goal remains landing additional MLW programming across several networks (think WWE on FOX and NBCUniversal) with ICM Partners representing MLW.    MLW is also seeking to expand their current relationship with BeIN Sport, which airs Fusion on Saturday nights.

As previously noted, the Opera Cup will be part of the promotion's Restart.

Former MLW star Teddy Hart is slated for a court hearing tomorrow in Virginia.

The promotion has a date this December at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, but obviously, given the state of the world, all live dates are tenuous at best.
