If I may go off topic just a bit
MLW had so much potential but seemingly blew all their cash on flying Japanese guys in and using big name talent. I think if they had just started out with 2-3 big names and some popular ex ECW guys (Jerry Lynn etc) they could probably be on TNA's level today.
With the excess money they got from not flying in so many Japanese guys and using so many "big name" guys they could of used it to improve presentation because the presentation doesn't look Major League at all and if a promotion is calling itself "Major League Wrestling" most people are going to assume it's similar in terms of presentation and production to the MLB, MLS, NBA, NFL etc.
Shame the company went out of business so quickly.

Lawler never made it to team with Funk, Sandman and Dr. Death. WWE pulled him from the show. Sabu took his place.

I loved MLW when it got shown on the wrestling channel over here in the UK, I imagine it is what ECW would have become if it stayed in business, they really pushed this "hybrid" style hard, shame it went out of business, who actually owned/founded MLW?

MLW was run by Court Bauer, hence why he's on the podcasts today. He became a writer for WWE about a year or so after MLW folded, or at least I think that was the timeframe.

I remember getting MLW on the FSN Florida channel, really late at night. IWA-MS was somehow on WMLW (Local channel) at eleven on Saturday nights.

I remember playing as MLW back in my EWR games. That's the only thing I got here.
