NEW TALENTS COMING IN, BELOVED VETERAN TO RETURN FOR MLW RESTART, SALINA, HOLLIDAY AND MORE MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING NOTES

With MLW Fusion returning next week, this week's episode of MLW Underground will be the last retro episode to air for at least a few weeks as the promotion focuses on its Restart with the 11/19 episode, which will be headlined by MLW Champion Jacob Fatu vs. Davey Boy Smith Jr. and MLW Middleweight Champion Myron Reed vs. Brian Pillman Jr. 

This won't be the last of Underground as there are plans for it to continue, in some fashion, on BeIN Sport.

There are plans to feature Kevin Von Erich in a larger role on MLW programming as part of the Restart.  The idea is to feature him as sort of a wise old sage style mentor to the younger talents.  Think Luke Skywalker from the most recent Star Wars trilogy.

IWA Puerto Rico is working with MLW on Richard Holliday defending the Caribbean title in Puerto Rico, something that has been teased for some time as part of his storyline with Savio Vega.

There is interest in Chris and Patrick Voros, who are an identical twin tag team out of Canada.  There's also been talk of 27 year old Jon'tae Kieth, who works independents in the Mid-West and Sefa Fatu, the youngest son of WWE Hall of Famer Rikishi, coming in as well.

MLW is running a storyline where Salina de la Renta is threatening to sue MLW and Konnan for defamation after claims she was working with CONTRA-Unit.

The first releases of the MLW x NERDS Clothing line are expected to be released by the holidays.
