Court Baur comments on Richard Holliday, Reelz deal, more

[OMB]

I don't think we know if he'll even be able to come back to wrestling tbh

one of his tweets he said he lifted 315 which is crazy while going through chemo

also....




man knows talent

game respects game

Well I agree with this as well. I like all three but Archer is a pretty lame promo, Wardlow is pretty mid as well. Hobbs is getting there and has the most personality of the three but I'd agree it's not main event level. Miro is the exception but he is not there and he has his shortcomings in the ring, hot take.

Pretty much agree honestly. Archer is lame on promos and most of the time he is there. Wardlow isn't bad, but he reminds of Brain Cage. Impressive looking guy, can do more than people think, but no character. Hobbs is somewhere in the middle, but doesn't do much for me. Hopefully they will have him only doing short promos and not drawn out ones.

Yeah, Miro is another wrestler that has what I have dubbed "The KENTA Effect"

I think he would be able to, but if he doesn't at least he made MLW fun to watch and he could be a manger

Hopefully he can return to wrestling. Dude’s got loads of talent, really charismatic, him helping out MJF in a title defense would be a good way to bring him in.

Just go to Roku.

Interesting note in the Observer this week

He also reported another promotion was in talks with ESPN and that it wasn’t AEW. That’s accurate in the sense there has been some dialogue, although I presume it was more about ESPN+ and it was only prelim for a time in the future since that company has a deal elsewhere right now, but in the television business, having talks or even being close happens constantly without coming to fruition.

"He" is Mike Johnson of PWInsider, the company has gotta he MLW right? Obviously not named bc they're technically still on Reelz until next week and can't officially negotiate bc Reelz hasn't "canceled" them, they're just letting the run end

Espn + that be a big deal for mlw tbh

That said with Endeavor owning ufc & wwe now wouldn't that be in same trouble as Reelz?

I think legally they might not wanna prevent anything in that department because unlike the Peacock deal there probably isn't something that already says "no wrestling besides WWE" since the UFC deal with ESPN was well before the merger. That agreement WWE has with Peacock is pretty much why MLW can't use it in their lawsuit, it's technically all above board.

But either way I give MLW no chance of getting on ESPN+, I just doubt they can sell themselves after all their mishaps this past year, some their fault and some not. Would be great tho, especially for me since I have + lmao

to a add a fun wrinkle.

CM Punk still works for UFC as well yet works for AEW. He was posting UFC stuff on his IG stories.

Really? I thought they finally cut him not long before he signed with AEW. Maybe that was just him officially retiring though, I know he still does commentary for that smaller MMA company which I believe airs on UFC Fight Pass

I'm not sure how those relationships are, I assume more like when WWE had the UK indies on the network but not sure

 

[Comrade Khan]

Either way still promoting the letters ufc . Guessin this ends when the merger is complete at the end of the year?

Again idk, it's a fairly unprecedented situation lol I could see it going both ways. The only thing I'm sure of is UFC probably won't let any of their fighters appear anymore on AEW, which I don't think it was ever that many anyway, most were retired or in other companies. Masvidal all I can think of
