FATU-MLW SIGNING, ADDITIONAL TALENTS LOCKED INTO NEW DEALS

MLW Champion Jacob Fatu's new deal with Major League Wrestling gives the promotion exclusivity on Fatu through 2025 and would specifically prohibit him from performing for WWE and AEW.  The original MLW deals talents signed only prevented talents from working for WWE but with the emergence of AEW last year, all exclusive MLW deals have been re-worked to become more exclusive in nature.

Fatu is among a number of MLW talents who have signed new or re-worked contracts with the company, following MLW National Openweight Champion Alex Hammerstone, Richard Holliday, MLW Middleweight Champion Myron Reed and Salina de la Renta.

MARIA KANELLIS AND MIKE BENNETT DISCUSS THEIR WWE RELEASE, AND MORE

The following excerpts from Mike Bennett and Maria Kanellis Bennett’s appearance on the “ROHStrong Podcast,” hosted by Kevin Eck, were released today. The podcast dropped earlier this week:

Mike on why he went public with his addiction to prescription drugs: “I thought it would be another good way to hold myself accountable. If you put it out into public, everybody knows it, and maybe it’s not the best decision, but for me it worked. If you put it out there and someone sees you out in public and you clearly look like you’re f’ed up, they know, ‘Oh, well, this guy’s a liar,” and that’s going to get out there. In today’s day and age it’s going to spread everywhere. … Secondly, I almost felt like I had an obligation as someone who was in somewhat of a spotlight to tell my story. To tell people that we have an opioid crisis in this country and it affects everybody. … Even people who look like their lives are in check, they go through it, too.”

Maria on why she and Mike re-signed with WWE last June: “At that time, we had had a lot of conversations with WWE because we were going back and forth on whether or not we wanted to sign. We were disappointed in what had gone on so far. There were a lot of promises made to us that weren’t being held up. So we didn’t even know if we were going to re-sign. So then we finally did, and the only reason why I did was because I had a conversation with them, and I knew that I wanted to have another child, and I didn’t know how long that was going to take. I wanted WWE to know, ‘Hey, we’re going to try and have another child, and if you want to sign me to a part-time deal or pay-per-appearance, whatever, that’s fine.’ Because I knew that, hopefully, in the future I would be leaving on maternity leave. And WWE came back and they’re like, ‘No, we want to bring you in as a full-time talent again and we understand that you want to have a bigger family and have another child, so we’re totally cool with that.’ So when they came back with it, I was like, ‘All right. Great. We’re golden.’”

Maria on her and Mike getting released by WWE in April: “I was all ready to come back at WrestleMania. I had been getting back in shape [after giving birth to the couple’s son, Carver, in February]. I had already lost 35 pounds. So when they started calling around [to release talent], I thought that they were going to fire Mike because Mike had asked for his release. I didn’t think they were going to fire the both of us. I was on my way back from my two-month appointment with Carver at the doctor when I got the call from [WWE director of talent relations] Mark Carrano. I was fine on the phone, but at the same time I realized that we were going to be in a world of hurt. And they knew that. It’s just really hard for me to talk about because that was just such an emotional day. … To be fired in a pandemic, it was just sad to me. From this company that prides itself on being this family-based company, to be fired. I didn’t receive a phone call after I had Carver to ask if I was OK, if the labor went OK. I didn’t receive a phone call seeing how my recovery was going with either of my children. But I received a phone call to be fired in a pandemic.”

Mike on the possibility of returning to ROH: “I would absolutely love to. I’m not going to sugarcoat anything. I would love to. I know the roster, I know how good it is. I’ve worked for the company before. … I’m not pretending I’m going to one place and this and that. I love Ring of Honor. I would love to end up there.”
