Court Bauer Says MLW Has Talked With FITE For Years, Deal Finally Made Sense

Major League Wrestling is coming to FITE TV on July 8 with its live special Never Say Never.

MLW has had many homes over the years including YouTube, BeIN Sports, Pro Wrestling TV, Vice TV, and more. Throughout the majority of MLW's run, shows have aired on tape delay and live specials have been few and far between.

Appearing on In The Weeds with Jeremy Lambert & Joel Pearl, MLW Owner Court Bauer discussed putting the deal with FITE together.

"Mike Weber and our side have had conversations for like five or six years about doing something big. The stars didn't align for it. Finally, we have the right conversation at the right time this spring, and it just locked. It made sense for both sides to do it, so we did it. We've been very close over the years with doing something with FITE. I first worked with Mike when we were both at Ring of Honor in 2013 or 2014, so we've known each other for a long time," he said.

Elsewhere during the interview, Bauer commented on the accusations against Jacob Fatu over ghosting a nonprofit organization. You can find his full comments by clicking here.
