Major League Wrestling CEO Court Bauer issued a short statement on Twitter this morning revealing that two big MLW stars were almost lost to free agency, with bids coming in from a competitor promotion. He writes, “Crazy few days. @MLW came VERY close to losing TWO top wrestlers to free agency. Despite an aggressive competitor’s efforts for them to jump (w/ bonus tied to a jump), both wrestlers just signed newly minted long-term deals with us. I’m ecstatic and you will be too. More soon.”
It was announced this morning that former MLW tag champion and Dynasty Richard Holliday did re-sign.a multi-year deal with MLW. Whether he was whom Bauer was referring to remains to be seen.
