5 Reasons Why You Should Be Watching "MLW FUSION" Each Week

5. Its Collaborations

MLW takes a different approach from the WWE's Vince McMahon Jr. -- who notoriously helped put an end to the territory system of the National Wrestling Alliance by "nationalizing" professional wrestling -- in welcoming talent from all sorts of promotions. Recently MLW announced a full-on partnership with Japan's NOAH promotion. This is not MLW's first international collaboration as this year's Intimidation Games saw them working with Mexico's AAA.

Meanwhile, the current MLW roster includes talent regularly featured within AEW, AAA, Impact Wrestling and other notable non-WWE promotions around the world. What that tells you is that MLW not only sees the value in the NWA territory system of yesterday, but that it embraces the fact that wrestling fans don't just seek out one particular promotion or style of wrestling. MLW has also worked with popular rapper Wale on a variety of collaborations, also showing its openness to expansion outside of the wrestling realm.
