Richard Holliday is now a free agent. Looking forward to seeing what this guy does next especially with all he’s been through.

Whatever happened to The Von Erichs, they haven't been seen in almost a year.

Looked on the guide and REELZ doesn't have MLW airing next week.

Where is Fusion airing? BeIN Sports?
From when they got on BeIN until they took the last long break I watched MLW each week loved it. Ordered a few of the PPVs. But just lost most of my interest with the last break.

MLW is very weird. And I still don't understand their business model. Or their goal with video distribution. They stuck with the "tape a bunch of episodes of a TV show, and air them a few months later" gameplan way past its expiration date in 2023 pro wrestling. At least if their shows will be airing live on Fite+ now, people will actually be able to see them happen in real time. But then the TV show becomes just highlights from the live Fite+ shows? If they're somehow making money on this TV show with "international deals" that supposedly exist, cool. Just make it a clip show, with top priority being the live shows on Fite+ from now on. I referenced this on my podcast this week. I definitely don't see much point in catching both the live event and TV show if both are technically the same. However, this is MLW's M.O. announce something big and don't think out the fallout or follow through.

Underground was launched to a huge fanfare by them, now it's dead and they're pivoting to shows on Fite.

Popped in on this year's Battle Riot, my first real MLW event in years. Am I the only one who found the Alex Kane-centric parts to be godawful boring? And man I don't get the appeal of Microman. On the plus side, I still love me some Ol' Mancer.

And the tradition of Delirious getting his girlfriend shoehorned into things she should not be in continues.

Alex Kane is the new MLW Champion having won it two weeks ago, that goes to show how tiny the company is right now as no one brought it up until now.

Oh I tried to watch but Matt Stryker was channeling heel Michael Cole and I couldn't take it.
Then Hammerstone was being treated like peak hated Cena and Don King was involved for some reason.
All presented in a very TNA way. I think it was the show with a strap match where the strap wasn't attached, they soon forgot about it and it turned into a mass interference hardcore match instead.
It's like lots of dark times for wrestling all being represented in one show. Which is a shame as there's actually some good talent there. It's just there's no reason to pick it over the many alternatives.

I say this as a fan, but in ring, MLW is one of the best "televised" promotions. Unfortunately it's the everything else that holds it back.
