FORMER MLW CHAMPION ALEXANDER HAMMERSTONE RELEASES UPDATE ON HIS STATUS

Update: Hammerstone has deleted his Tweet.  Billy Krotchsen sent along the following transcript of his comments:

"The point of this video is not to bash [MLW].  It's not to talk negatively about anybody.  it's just to be an update on the situation as I currently understand it.   This whole situation kind of broke to the news and the dirtsheets just recently but it's actually been ongoing for a couple of months now. The communication on that end to me has been sparse, to put it nicely. I've tried several times to get on the phone with Court Bauer.  It hasn't happened, unfortunately.  The last [thing] I was told was that they were actually working towards a release. However, that was several weeks ago at this point. Then they broke the story to the dirtsheets.  They told them that they had actually no intention of releasing me. So, I'm not sure if there's been a miscommunication somewhere, or if I was simply told that just to kind of shut me up a bit.  I have not worked for the company in well over 100 days at this point. They've removed me from their active roster page.  They've removed me from all current marketing material. They edited me out of the show intro and highlights and those sorts of things and I have not been contacted for any dates moving forward. It's been made pretty apparent to me at this point that they have no intention of using me moving forward but their official statement was that they have no intention on releasing me. So, I'm not sure if I'm being punished just for asking if that was a possibility or if there's a miscommunication somewhere."

Former MLW Champion Alexander Hammerstone issued the following video, noting that he's tried to get on the phone with MLW owner Court Bauer but has not been able to and that he was previously told that the company was working on his release:

Hammerstone noted he has been removed from the MLW show intro, the website and the roster and has not been contacted to work any additional MLW live events.

He noted he is remaining optimistic and is hoping for a resolution "soon."
