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

1. The Talent

Like most televised wrestling companies, MLW features a roster full of exciting performers from all over the world. Among the talent regularly featured on MLW FUSION are “Filthy” Tom Lawlor, Salina De La Renta, Jimmy Havoc, The Dynasty's MJF, Alexander Hammerstone and Richard Holliday, Kotto Brazil and Rey Fenix.

Some of its talent has been previously seen on WWE programming, including Davey Boy Smith Jr., Simon Gotch, Low Ki and announcer Rich Bocchini. Tommy Dreamer has also popped up from time to time. Other talent was seen in WCW, including Konnan, LA Park, Tony Schiavone and Jim Cornette. Meanwhile, the MLW roster also includes several next-generation performers like Jacob Fatu, Teddy Hart, Brian Pillman Jr. and The Von Erichs.

In turn, MLW FUSION manages to feature both star performers and tomorrow's stars. The older talent is helping the younger talent learn and get better, hence the current promo-oriented feud between Konnan and Salina De La Renta, or the on-going storyline battles between The Hart Foundation and the aforementioned Dynasty. As the original MLW roster included the likes of CM Punk, Daniel Bryan and Samoa Joe, it will be interesting to see who the next break-out talent from MLW 2.0 will be.
