Every Major Weekly Wrestling Show Ranked From Worst To Best

7. MLW Fusion

Broadcasting on television networks in the UK, Canada, South Africa, and Ireland and YouTube, MLW Fusion is accessible, easy to watch, and far from a major time sink at under an hour each week, so it's a shame that only 40-60k tune in online. Those who aren't tuning in are missing out on a well-booked wrestling show that builds and develops storylines with a far higher hit rate than any show below it on our rankings (and some above it, too).

Fusion is the best place to come if you want to see the fast-rising Jacob Fatu before he becomes one of the best wrestlers in the world. He's one of the hottest prospects in wrestling right now and he's surrounded by wrestlers of similar promise, including Brian Pillman Jr., Alexander Hammerstone, Myron Reed, and Mance Warner. Shows are pre-taped, but avoiding spoilers is significantly easier than with bigger name promotions, and units like CONTRA and The Dynasty work with purpose and chemistry. Also, MLW has the great LA Park.

The company isn't scared of shying away from edgier content, though this is a double-edged sword that appeals to fans of certain tastes, but creates genuine ugliness at times. Heel manageress Salina de la Renta, excellent in her role, is occasionally subjected to gross, sexist humour. Another problem is MLW's underwhelming record with piecing together big, important-feeling bouts, though this improved with the recent SuperFight pay-per-view.
