I am surprised that there doesn't seem to be a lot of talk about MLW here. They are the fastest growing small promotion that there is right now. They have a paying tv deal, tour, have contracted wrestlers, and have produced a good show. I think its pretty exciting how much they have accomplished in such a short time.

I watched it on DirecTV. If and when it comes back on I'll keep an eye on it. I have laughed that their "middleweight" champion has both a worked and actual weight greater that both of their "heavyweight" champions actual and worked weight.

I've watched all the shows of MLW Fusion. Overall, the in-ring work rate is solid, Production wise is tight, but small compared to WWE and Impact, but you have two former WWE producers in Court Bauer and Bruce Prichard to make the show seems bigger than it should. And with access to talent like Sami Callahan, Jimmy Havoc, Pentagon, etc. They've done well so far. As long as they don't get signed by WWE, they should be fine despite limited distribution with Bein Sports being recently dropped by Direct TV. But thanks to YouTube on Saturdays, you can still see the show. It's worth watching for a one hour based show.

They also have their own YT channel if it's easier to watch for some.

Its great that they can put the show up on youtube so people without BeIN can still watch. BeIN's coverage in the US isn't the greatest but the tv deal allows MLW to produce a weekly series. Mike Johnson of Pwinsider just reported that they are getting on the spanish version of BeIN soon. Which has more viewership then the english language version. So thats a good get for them. It was smart to feature so much Lucha talent.

I watch it every weekend on Youtube, I love the story building with the Lucha Bros, Salina, Low-Ki, and Konnan. I was surprised they had LA Park go over on Pentagon this week but that match was so over I was amazed I've never seen their audience so hyped during a match before.

I haven’t watched a ton of MLW shows but what I have I’ve enjoyed. BIG fan of the New Hart Foundation and the build-up of Brian Pillman jr.

For the most part, I enjoy MLW when I watch it, but it kinds of reminds me of the Global Wrestling Federation in Dallas at first. They kind of present themselves as something bigger than they are.

The heavyweight and middleweight title contenders are what confuses me. The people they have go after both belts are in the same weight category, so to speak. The only thing I did not like was the "Lo Ki has been undefeated...." thread they mention since mlw started. Yes he has not lost a match, until recently, in mlw. But the company did not exist for a long time so you really cannot count the years in between operations as part of the streak.
It does make good talking points, but for those who watched it back in the day, we know how long it has been since the show stopped.
Still love it, wish the extreme horseman were still apart of it. The Hart foundation need Jack Evans and TJ too

Been a few weeks since I kept up with the show so my statements may not be “up to date” but one thing I was impressed with, and continue to be, is that MLW not only lured Tony Schiavone back into wrestling commentating but also as his (temporary?) replacement, Jim Cornette. For an old school mark such as myself, that raises my enjoyment level of the shows substantially..
