MLW issued the following press release to announce the signing of Leo Brien to a long term contract.
NEW YORK Major League Wrestling (“MLW”) today announced it has signed Leo Brien to a long-term contact.
“Leo is one of the sport’s best kept secrets,” said MLW CEO Court Bauer. “A 265 pound southern brawler that hits like (Stan) Hansen and moves like (Terry) Gordy? You simply don’t see guys like this today.”
Spitting tobacco in the face of opponents while employing dirty and illegal tactics in his matches, Leo Brien is a rawboned, roughhouse wrestler.
MLW Fusion exploded into the new year with three title fights for episode 116. The
Kings of Colosseum special event featured the Contra Unit adding a new member, the Von Erichs in a bunkhouse brawl, Lio Rush extinguishing Myron Reed’s fire, and Alexander Hammerstone meeting his match on Muscle Mountain in a hoss fight.
If you have ever been interested in checking out MLW but haven’t taken the plunge yet, this is a good episode to jump in to experience MLW’s style and flavor.
Let’s break it all down.

Alexander Hammerstone says he has beaten the hell out of Contra Unit millions of times. Start up the mountain, get that title shot, become your new World Champion. Hammerstone says that Contra putting him on the shelf might have been the worst thing because he has been able to train for this one match. I will not lose the diamond chasing the glare. You are just an obstacle in the way between him and Jacob Fatu.
