THREE MLW DEPARTURES, FUSION TV PREVIEW AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2019-12-21 05:23:00

Dave Sahadi is done working for Major League Wrestling as a Director after he signing a deal to return to Impact full-time. Sahadi had worked the last MLW TV taping and the belief within MLW was that he would be allowed to work both promotions, but that is not the case. As you might imagine, there's some unhappiness and resentment on the MLW side over this, blaming Impact for "pulling" Sahadi.

Ricky Martinez, who had been part of Salina de la Renta's Promociones Dorado, announced on social media he had asked for and given a release from Major League Wrestling. Sources within the promotion dispute this, claiming Martinez was let go by the promotion.

Barrington Hughes announced that he has also been granted a release from the promotion.

Should be noted MLW are running the night before Hard to Kill not far from Dallas, potentially stifling ticket sales, so Impact are probably done playing nice with them.

What else has Barrington Hughes done? I've only seen him in MLW.

Didn’t Court Bauer recently say something along the lines of “we’re willing to work with anyone who wants to, except Impact”. Not sure why he’d expect them to play nice after that

I think that was Dave Lagana and the NWA

He’s been roughly the size of two beer kegs side by side.

Impact finally freed Killer Kross, Shayna Baszler lost the NXT women's title, AND I no longer have to watch Barrington Hughes stink up an MLW ring? Holy shit the Wrestling Gods are really making good this Christmas!

Dude let Tim Storm choke him out in under a minute at a local show. I don’t think he wants to be a wrestler that bad, dude is fine in this role.

It should've worked out since MLW's date was the night before Impact's PPV, but Impact decided to add another date the night before as a Twitch special and pulled Sahadi so he could work on that special instead. I'm sure MLW and Sahadi aren't thrilled, but Sahadi's under contract to Impact so there's nothing they could do.
