Their first show is easily bigger than anything outside of WWE/AEW/TNA. MLW and NWA don't stand a chance at competing at this rate. If they get TV they could surpass TNA on AXS too

Their closest competition for that role would honestly be GCW and I see that being beatable
GCW is nowhere near as hot as it used to be as well, indies tend to be fads it seems. But Scott has long term vision as proven in TNA so he has a shot and longevity if the finances are right

Yeah I think if Scott can get an investor or two (if he already doesn't have a shit ton of money stored up) and he can get on TV, MLP could become an extremely viable product.

If you actually look at attendance it doesn't really seem like it but as far as IWC people or podcasters talking about them, that's how it feels. I don't think they're actually hurting tho. GCW, Revolver, and Defy have really branched out where they run shows

i would love it and selfishly would love him to try and work with Don and Tony again with a more concrete plan. last time, as much as people don't wanna admit it, was AEW throwing TNA a bone
