MLW PROFILED BY WASHINGTON POST AHEAD OF VICE TV FIGHTLAND SPECIAL

In advance of their Fightland special on Vice TV tonight, MLW was profiled by The Associated Press for an article syndicated to The Washington Post at this link.

In the piece, Bauer states that the company is in the black, and remained that way even with the pandemic, but are still chasing a deal that can be transformative for the company, noting they are still a "free agent."

The Blue Meanie, who worked the MLW taping, commented, The thing that bums me out is that everyone is so focused on AEW and WWE right now, but here you have MLW, who’s putting on just as good, or maybe even a better product than the two big two...I think MLW is definitely more intriguing than WWE right now. Hopefully, this next venture they’re doing with Vice TV leads to more growth.”

On former MLW talents signing with other companies, Bauer noted, “We couldn’t afford to keep them but as our rights deals get better, we’ll pay the talent. We always tell the talent, we’ll grow with you. If you believe in the system, trust the process. This is why all the promoters want you, because we’ve got you.”

Alexander Hammerstone, who will compete in the main event of tonight's Fightland special, noted, “We’ve been the best-kept secret in wrestling for a long time.  It’s time to get in front of more eyes, and if tonight is any indication of what we’re going to do moving forward, it’s going to be some pretty big things.”
