MLW has a great partner for expansion into the wrestling world, and can easily climb significant steps with proper backing and network. Does anyone know how to watch MLW Fusion if we don't get the channel here in the US?

Hannibal/Bloodhunter and Meltzer confirmed it. She signed a short term contract with someone. Only company that does short term deals is the NWA. She could return to mlw by July.

Hopefully
Enjoyed this week's season finale a fair bit. I didn't find Rush vs. Reed I anything special, but this rematch felt like a higher level and had the drama needed in a title match.
Other two matches were forgettable. The near Stunt sized Ariel Dominguez gets around, he's done squashes in AEW and NXT quite recently. Laredo Kid is great but the match with Loco was a bore and they didn't click.
The post-main event reveal of Dario Cuete was awesome. I have often questioned why promotions don't hire more trained actors like this in non-wrestling roles. They can add a bit of legitimacy to the often mocked pro wrestling.
The cliffhanger with El Jefe saying he'll be in Philly when the new season started is exactly what they needed to build hype. I could really see Daga linking up with Azteca Underground especially as they are talking about 'international free agents' coming in.
Hammerstone's promo was also very good this week. Fatu vs. Hammerstone is their gold card and can hopefully pop a good live crowd.

Wow, look at all the open spots here. Are MLW heading for a major expansion of the roster?
I've said for a while that the roster seems very thin, especially with all the champions they have. So expanding it would make MLW look more... major league.

"sports based wrestling"
"also Mil Muertes murdered Savio Vega and buried him in a shallow jungle grave on camera"
"also Dario Cueto had Salina kidnapped and used as a human sacrifice on camera"
I loved Lucha Underground but its world does not mesh with MLW's.

Salina is a loss for MLW but since Cuete is coming in, at least they have a replacement.
I wonder why she's left though - an offer from WWE or AEW? They could put her with Miro or some of the women (Diamante?) in AEW to manage their business interests. I'd rather listen to her than Vickie Guerrero anyway.
I'd love to get an idea of what MLW's budget is with the new TV deal and all. The draft makes it sound like they're upscaling quite a bit and there are some good free agents out there right now...

Yeah, I won't lie, I'm really going to miss Salina's presence; she was one that I thought was tailor made for television. However, it's hard to ask for a better replacement when all is said and done.

Reportedly, talks between MLW and the WWE have died out, and a partnership will not be happening, at least not right now.

Trying to get through last MLW Fusion episode. It can be hard for me to get past the presentation of it all. Even though commentary is great and other things are there more so than Impact. The presentation on Impact is just painful where as ,MLW just feels a bit... dull for me especially when I'm watching a match with a super dim ring & stage. I usually like avoiding forums when I'm trying to finish a show but this last one is gonna take me time to get through it all. Sad to hear that Salina quit though. Easily my favourite part about the show as it stands.
What's the deal with loredo kid anyway? Do they give him many angles and/or stories?

Laredo mostly eats pins. He is 2-7 in his MLW career including the recent win over ****** Loco.
He is clearly not signed to any contract anywhere. He bounces between AAA, MLW, AEW, and Impact plus tons of indies. Just seems like a guy who will take whatever dates are available.
Aside from this win over Gr ingo Loco, I only remember him beating some other MLW jobber called Zenshi, a spot monkey they claim to come from Peru, or Chile, whatever... and being some kind of South American champion (at least that's what St Laurent said and the guy knows how build them up using words).
Now, Loredo looks to be just a sore loser who didn't accept his title loss from months ago, even though AAA itself twitted about it.
Yeah, Laredo has been used mainly as enhancement in MLW. He was actually given more prominence in AEW, where he scored the pin on Dynamite #78 (Lucha Bros + Laredo vs. Bucks + Cutler) then was in the big trios match (Lucha Bros + Laredo vs. Kenny + Good Brothers) a week later.
He can cut a pretty fluent promo in English but perhaps him being a freelancer and unsigned is why he's never really pushed in MLW. Someone should sign him as he's a great undercard attraction with his flashy but polished lucha style and easy to sell as an international star since he holds a AAA title. WCW stacked their roster with this type in the 90s to put on entertaining lower card matches.
His match with Omega at Triplemania last year was unreal too.
