Positive remarks from Krügger about his time in MLW.
It was in early 2024 that Mads Krügger a.k.a. Krule returned to Major League Wrestling at their SuperFight event.
He's been back with the organization for over a year and during a chat with Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling, he shared that he has 'another year' left on his contract. In 2024, Krügger confirmed to Jeremy Lambert and Joel Pearl on 'In The Weeds' that he signed a multi-year deal with MLW. He said the following in the new interview with Two Man Power Trip of Wrestling:
“I’m still with ‘em. I re-signed last summer. I started back last January and then after a couple shows, they were like, ‘Hey, we really want you to come back and be with us’ and I was like, ‘Sure.’ Everything was going great, and I was really happy to be back and I like where things are going, the locker room’s phenomenal and we keep adding new people to that. It felt like a good thing to do, the right thing to do and I haven’t been disappointed a year later, and I’ve got another year and hey, doesn’t (look) like anything’s gonna stop right now. So, it’s going great.”
In January 2023, a report emerged from PWInsider which noted that Krügger asked for his release from MLW and was granted it. He confirmed that he asked to be let go.
When Krügger returned in 2024, he worked with Jacob Fatu as Fatu was wrapping up with the organization. Krügger shared that Fatu wanted to work with him on his way out.
“And then, it wasn’t long after that that I left (MLW) the first time. I had just different things happen and then I actually got injured and so it was just I asked for my release and was given it. But then, when I come back, last January, that was literally Fatu on his way out the door and I would be told later that when the conversation (came) up about who would he wanna do something with to kind of end this thing, he wanted to work with me and I thought that was so awesome that that was kind of my foot back into the door and it all kind of happened at the same time. It was perfect timing, perfect storm and so we got to finish that thing off with me coming back and him moving on to greater things.
Like I said, he’s one of those honest people and he doesn’t mind talking good about somebody even if they’re not around, and I know he’s told other people that -- how much he enjoyed working with me and things like that so that’s -- hey, he doesn’t have to do that. Nobody has to do that but, he’s one of those people.”
In addition to his on-screen duties, Krügger is helping out behind the scenes at MLW.
“I really hope to get into the production and the backstage part of it. I’ve already took that step with MLW, and some of the things I’m doing behind the scenes. I love pro wrestling, I love the storytelling, I love creating stories and I’m enjoying starting to tap into that aspect of it and telling stories for someone besides myself and seeing what else I can create here besides just for me.”
MLW premiered its War Chamber special and Krügger was part of the show. He competed in a Chicago Street Fight.
