Alex Kane reached the top of the mountain at MLW Never Say Never, winning the MLW World Heavyweight Championship from Alex Hammerstone.
Kane started with MLW in 2021 as an entrant in the MLW Battle Riot. Since then, he's been on a steady rise up the ladder, including winning the MLW National Openweight Champion, as he leads and is backed by Bomaye Fight Club.
Speaking to Jeremy Lambert & Joel Pearl on In The Weeds, Court Bauer discussed the rise of Alex Kane.
"I'm so proud of him. To ascend like he has, to have that constant upward trajectory, is impressive. A lot of guys stutter, they slow down, they take the gear off, their head blows up, all these things. He's been such a steady of progress of being in the Open Draft, starting out with King Mo, finding his own voice, and becoming a killer on promos. Then, bell to bell, continuing to grow and add to his arsenal. That's all you can ask for. It's fascinating to see his evolution in front of the crowd, but also behind the scenes. A lot of the locker room starts to crowd around him and he becomes a locker room leader at a very young age. Usually it's the old grizzled vets, guys who have been around for a long time, but he has this energy, this thing that you don't see every day. He's very special and I'm very proud of him," said Court.
