Major League Wrestling CEO Court Bauer took to Twitter this week to address two topics related to MLW: his relationship with Impact Wrestling and the possibility of MLW promoting its first live pay-per-view.
MLW & Impact Wrestling
Apparently there have been some fans speculating that the relationship between Major League Wrestling and Impact Wrestling is strained. It’s actually quite the contrary. The two promotions have somewhat of an “open borders” relationship – utilizing some of the same talent (Pentagon Jr., Rey Fenix, Sami Callihan, etc.) and running shows in the same venues (such as NYC’s Melrose Ballroom).
Bauer says it’s “beyond ridiculous” that certain people are trying to portray MLW & Impact’s relationship as negative. In fact, Bauer and Impact Wrestling official Sunjay Dutt appear to be making plans to get dinner together.
I vote sushi ?!

MLW’s Stance on Live Pay-Per-View Events
Earlier this week, FITE.TV announced that MLW’s weekly television show MLW Fusion will begin airing for free on the over-the-top streaming service.
New episodes of MLW Fusion will premiere on beIN SPORTS Friday nights at 8pm (Eastern). Those shows will continue to be uploaded to YouTube Saturday nights at 6:05pm (Eastern) and will be added to FITE.TV Tuesday nights at 8pm (Eastern).
With MLW joining the FITE family, a few fans have speculated if this is the first step towards MLW airing live pay-per-view events. Bauer says that there are currently no plans to get into the live pay-per-view game. For now, MLW will stick to what’s working for them and the fans.
