There are reports of them paying some guys wonky. Which is never good, don’t get me wrong, but I think the issues all got resolved. They’re basically a grassroots project, so I think what they really need is some network backing to lock some guys into proper deals and make sure they don’t have those issues. With MLW, I feel there’s this very clear barrier they need to cross in terms of getting star power to get the revenue in.
I think the money would need to come from somewhere externally, since MLW don’t really have it themselves. They’ve got partnerships with DAZN, BeIn and Vice, so hopefully between the three, something can crop up there.
It’s better that than doing crazy shit for attention from the people who would follow anyway if it were good and had genuine stars they knew how to follow.
I’d be having convos with Bryan Danielson, Brock Lesnar, Adam Scherr, Tommy End and even guys like Johnny Curtis and Tyler Freeze. It’d be great if they could get CM Punk in to do commentary, but he might upstage the show. Still, you get him to call a few shows before doing a program with Tom Lawlor or something. Sign Mickie James, Tessa Blanchard, Ivelisse (if she can play nice), Marina Shafir, Kiera Hogan and Santana Garrett for a Women’s Division.
Between all that, if you can get the funds for it together, you’ve got something that might feel a bit like pro-wrestling that could half-way get attention between its platforms.
I dunno. Maybe I’m hoping beyond hope.
