MLW Fusion Moving To Saturday Nights On beIN SPORTS

Starting this Saturday, MLW will move to Saturdays on beIN SPORTS and to Monday nights on the Spanish network, beIN SPORTS en Espanol. “With the majority of our cards on Saturday nights and beIN interested in doing more live broadcasts in 2019, it made sense to move the show to Saturdays,” said MLW CEO Court Bauer. “Saturday night wrestling has a history dating back decades. It’s an honor to bring that tradition back starting this Saturday night on beIN.”

MLW Fusion Preview 2/8/19

A new era is underway in Major League Wrestling! Join the renegades of professional wrestling from South Philadelphia at the historic 2300 Arena for an episode of Fusion that will have a shocking goodbye, a few hellos and top ranked wrestlers from around the world.

For months Brian Pillman Jr. has been as he says, “shattering the illusion of the false legends” only for Tommy Dreamer to take exception to Pillman’s disrespect for the sport and its legends.  Tonight the final chapter is written in the Pillman-Dreamer war as both men select a mystery partner in a showdown in South Philadelphia’s hallowed grounds known as the 2300 Arena.

There are reports that the new World Heavyweight Champion “Filthy” Tom Lawlor has been partying all week coast to coast with the belt. Will we possibly see a glimpse of the new champ on the show?

Konnan will make his return after recovering from the brutal ending to the December World Championship title fight in Miami! What’s on the mind of the Lucha Bros. consigliere?  Speaking of the Lucha Bros….

Pentagon Jr. & Rey Fenix say goodbye?

Pentagon Jr And Fenix Will Wrestle In AEW, But They Don’t Have Exclusive Deals, Finished Up With MLW

pentagon jr, fenix, aew, all elite wrestling,

Pro Wrestling Sheet has confirmed Pentagon Jr and Fenix are not locked down to exclusive AEW contracts at this point.

In case you missed it, The Young Bucks made an appearance at Friday night’s “Come Hell or High Water” event in Atlanta after the Lucha Bros defeated SCU.

The AEW VPs stated Pentagon and Fenix are the second best tag team in the world, but they’d have to join All Elite Wrestling if they want to prove they’re number one. The Bucks then said they didn’t have formal AEW contracts to offer, but a handshake agreement would work.

Before that could happen though, the group were attacked from behind by local wrestlers. SCU, The Young Bucks and Lucha Bros fought them off … then the two tag teams shook hands.

Things got confusing hours later, however, after Chris Jericho tweeted saying the tag team had signed exclusive agreements with AEW — which would call their statuses with AAA, CMLL, Impact and Lucha Underground into question.

According to Lucha Central, Pentagon and Fenix will work dates for AEW but they’ve yet to sign an exclusive agreement. This means they’ll continue to fulfill promised dates in 2019 and work for a multitude of companies.

Yesterday, MLW CEO Court Bauer thanked Pentagon and Fenix for their time in MLW, reigning as tag champs for over seven months. Bauer continued, “Wherever you go next always know you both are 1000000000% leyendas de Lucha Libre!” so it looks like the duo is finished up with MLW.
