MLW owner and former WWE writer Court Bauer recently made an appearance on Busted Open Radio to speak about a variety of topics such as how both top MLW Star Jacob Fatu and MLW World Heavyweight Champion Alexander Hammerstone went to the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida on a number of occasions for tryouts, but did not end up getting signed due to silly reasons as well as how MLW is the company that has figured them out and has found them.
Court Bauer said:
“Hammerstone went for a few tryouts and was told, ‘You look too much like Triple H.’ The same with Fatu — people forget he had like three or four tryouts at WWE PC. They didn’t sign him. Now, everyone’s like, ‘He should go to WWE.’ There’s a reason the dude keeps re-upping with us. This is the system that has figured it out. We found him, and he found himself.“
Court Bauer also spoke about how the fans should support Jacob Fatu in MLW, the company that gave him the spotlight, instead of trying to fantasy book him in WWE, a company that didn't get him.
Court Bauer said:
“He has all the love for his family [The Bloodline] and what they’re doing there [in WWE], but he’s enjoying his time in MLW. If you’re finding him on MLW, support the company that gave him that spotlight. Don’t try to fancy book something, when the machine there [in WWE] didn’t get it, didn’t see it. So, support where he is and where he is thriving.“
