Brett Lauderdale Feels There’s No Reason For A Wrestler To Sign With MLW: “They Also Have A Clause That Says You Cant Wrestle For GCW”

Brett Lauderdale expresses his opinion about MLW.

Fightful Select pushed out a report about Major League Wrestling and the organization wanting to freshen up its talent roster. The write-up reads as follows:

“MLW is planning a roster refresh, with some contracts not being renewed as the company evaluates viewership data provided by Tubi, Fightful Select has learned.

The goal is to free up payroll to pursue one or two bigger free agents rather than retain several mid-level names.

More details on Fightful Select for subscribers.”

Game Changer Wrestling promoter Brett Lauderdale reacted to the report and expressed that there are zero reasons for a wrestler to sign with MLW. He added that they have a clause in their deals that the talent cannot wrestle for GCW.

“There is literally zero reason to sign a contract with MLW. They only do a handful of tapings per year and you dont make any money. Your career momentum stalls and you cant sign w/ aew or wwe unless they let you out. Oh they also have a clause that says you cant wrestle for gcw

If they want you on their show bad enough, they will book you with or without a contract. But for young wrestlers, signing away years of your career without a substantial money GUARANTEE is detrimental”
