Why he’s excited for the future of MLW:
“[Fans] bring so much life to our shows,” said Bauer. “Coupled with Fatu-Hammerstone and the emergence of Azteca Underground, from a creative point of view, it’s hard for me to sleep at night thinking about what’s ahead. We’re very excited to show where this goes next.”
On the MLW Open Draft:
“We’re also going to have the draft, which will expand and upgrade our roster,” said Bauer. There is a lot to anticipate on what’s ahead. “[The draft] will reveal the next era of MLW, with some prospects, international talent and star power.-,” said Bauer. “A lot of talent will be returning, but the draft is really going to unlock itself in a lot of surprising ways.”
Shares his thoughts on Azteca Underground:
“Wrestling fans across the world love luchadores, but the genre hasn’t been showcased in a consistent manner in America,” said Bauer. “Azteca Underground will provide that for the fans. Wrestling is also a super-competitive landscape, and we have an opportunity to really stand out with this project.”
