Court is honestly just like one of us. He’s just a fan of professional wrestling. He came up with the name Major league wrestling was surprised nobody had taken it and then basically try to create a promotion with absolutely no money. I don’t blame him. He’s managed to make it work despite maybe a decade off when he ran out of money he’s mainly been able to make it work somehow.

I mean, MLW was literally created in the death of ECW in Philadelphia using almost exclusively ECW talent that didn’t get picked up elsewhere.

If you can get your hands on the first year of MLW Underground. It literally feels like a continued ECW.
I'm well aware of MLW's history, including that Bauer's first run did not go well.

The thing that’s always impressed me about it despite having almost no money you couldn’t tell about watching this show. MLW production is always been quality compared to say wrestling revolver and it’s like night and day.

Moving to Florida was probably his biggest mistake. He could’ve sustained that support from Philadelphia.

I think if Court can just get a group of investors together, MLW has a much higher chance getting onto a streaming service/cable channel.

I honestly just think court must be a bad negotiator. If power can get on comet, there’s zero reason why fusion isn’t on TV at this point.

It’s probably not the best idea to taunt when you’re about to do a move that requires you jumping backwards.

I'd genuinely put it #3 in terms of level of production after the two obvious conglomerates. I haven't watched NOAH in a while, but they're production has always been top class as well.

Hear me out: MLW on AMC.

It feels like a no brainer with it's style.

Sadly TNA took AMC, which doesn't feel like a good fit.

I mean in 2026 there are more options that ever a lot of people have never even heard of comet but yet it’s a national level cable company and power is doing well on it.
