•This Saturday MLW will make its Wisconsin debut at the Waukesha Expo Center. The event will feature the live FURY ROAD network special on beIN SPORTS as well as a full FUSION TV taping. The card will set the tone for what promises to be a wild summer in Major League Wrestling. Limited tickets available at MLWTickets.com starting at $10.

CONTRA Unit made good on their threat.  The global dealers in violence have changed MLW forever. Unleashing an attack unlike any other in the history of Major League Wrestling, CONTRA has left a crater size hole in MLW’s roster.

CONTRA Unit’s hostile takeover of MLW Fusionthis week was a shocking and disturbing assault broadcast on television around the world.  No one expected the catastrophic wreckage left by the trio of outsiders. After being hit with a fireball by Josef Samael, reports indicate Rey Fenix’s mask melted to part of his face. MLW’s medical confirmed that the former World Tag Team Champion has second and third degree burns to part of his face but avoided any damage to his eyes. 

Pentagon wasn’t as fortunate. With injuries reportedly focused around the eyes, Pentagon is currently receiving care for a partially crushed orbital bone and still to be determined cornea damage. Moments after the footage cut out, witnesses saw the 300 pound Jacob Fatu repeatedly gouging Pentagon’s eyes on the floor.  Moments later, the massive Samoan lifted Pentagon up above his head… with his thumbs hooked into Penta’s eye sockets to pick up the luchador.   

League officials are meeting around the clock to determine what measures need to be taken to address this incident.  MLW.com will have more updates on this situation soon.

Flamita has signed on with Major League Wrestling. One of the hottest luchadores in the sport, this 3rd generation luchador will make his debut this Saturday night at Fury Road against Rey Horus.  Flamita will be competing in Japan for Dragon Gate this summer but will next appear in September and be a regular in MLW at that point on.

•TV cameras will be on the Von Erichs when they touchdown in Milwaukee this weekend. Ross and Marshall Von Erich are being filmed for a possible untitled TV project MLW is co-producing with a major player in reality programming.

•It’s official: MLW has closed a deal for its Dallasdebut. More details on this will be available soon.

•Jared St. Laurent and George Carroll Jr.attended the USA Wrestling World Team Trials Challenge Tournament earlier this week. Always on the lookout for the next breakout athlete, league officials were impressed by a few amateur grapplers.

•Jared St. Laurent also attended Saturday night’s ESPN Boxing card featuring Masayuki Ito vs Jamel Herring for the WBO World Junior lightweight Title. Wrestling has featured its fair share of boxers battling wrestlers. Could it happen in MLW at some point? 

•Alex Hammerstone has been vocal in calling out Brian Pillman’s lack of commitment in training for this weekend’s National Championship Finals. Is there any truth to Pillman being a party boy?

•Salina de la Renta continues “aggressive negotiations” with Court Bauer over producing another episode of MLW Fusion. The Boss and the Puerto Rican powerbroker have had a hot/cold relationship but one thing is certain: the empresaria always delivers.  Salina’s vision of FUSION was one of the most watched broadcasts in MLW history.

•Is Salina de la Renta really preparing to merchandise “warthog” Sami Callihan merchandise? According to those close to her, the answer is: YES. Surely Callihan will have something to say about this.

•Sami Callihan had a scare earlier this week when tornados were spotted near his home in Ohio.  Fortunately for the “Worldwide Desperado,” the tornados missed his neighborhood.  Others weren’t as lucky. On behalf of everyone at MLW, the league sends its thoughts and support out to those affected by the twisters.

•With the divorce seemingly official, many managers, agents and promoters have stepped forward to pitch Low Ki on representing the ex World Champ.  Will the Brooklyn native remain a lone wolf or link up with a new camp? We may get an indication soon.

Daga has withdrawn from his match against Kotto BrazilDynasty’s Richard Holliday is now set to compete against the “Haitian Sensation” this Saturday in Wisconsin.
