    This SD thread did quite a bit higher numbers than usual too, drafts are always a draw on WS lmao

    I agree and I also think it may have been around thr 2.0 rebranding so unless they wanted him straight for the main roster he didn't fit their criterias

    Yeah it's my weirdest relationship with a company bc when it's airing I love the product, such a cool mix of styles but God they can't ever keep shit going normal

    A good weekly wrestling show when it airs, sometimes one of the better ones. Absolutely attrocious management and terrible ownership

    WWE even passed up on Hammerstone again right before MLW strapped him up, he had a tryout befor he resigned I believe

    I mean yeah, both couldn't get real work in WWE, AEW or elsewhere, Fatu bc of his legal issues and Hammerstone for why I don't have a clue, and Court signed them both to contracts and pushed them as major main eventers and now they're considered the biggest names not in a major company bc of it

    Both seem very loyal to Court too for the most part bc he gave them their big chances, I think money would still talk with them but they're def happy as well there fwiw

    But you're mostly right, any Impact, MLW or NWA contract that's signed is almost always a short term one anyway so they wouldn't ever have to wait too long

    Court has annoyingly locked people down with their contracts before even when they weren't even producing fucking television so sadly no

    I don't believe so but it's never very clear with MLW

    It's also open enough they can change plans, a Vince failsafe if you will

    Leaving whatever Solo was sent to do as an unknown bc Riddle attacked him was pretty fucking smart too lol

    Really good show tbh, a lot of those matches overdelivered. Not the main event necessarily cause I already had high expectations but it was great too
