I can't imagine MLW is making "game changing" money from Vice, but you never know. I think that in all likelihood an MLW contract is probably not your sole source of income. But I do think that could change. They are restrictive on what companies you can work for if they have you locked into a contract. I know they've sold out the 2300 arena for the Battle Riot tapings and I wouldn't be surprised if they stop running the smaller ballroom venues for tapings. In my opinion the venue they run in Queens is way too small.
I don't expect MLW to rise up to 500k viewers any time soon but if they are able to get a big WWE release like Tommy End or Braun, you never know. But that seems wishful thinking.
They did sign hyped NXT release EJ Nduka, and he could be a homegrown star for them if all goes well.

I've kinda cornered MLW in the past, they have an ECW spirit to them. I also think the company name is the best name for a Wrestling promotion ever. Court is a great promoter in my opinion and does his best with what he has. It's just that money has left them with some undesirable talents for me at times.

A lot of the MLW shows I have been to lack that one "great match". When ROH was younger every show had at least one amazing match when you'd go to see them live, and I wish MLW had that as well.

ROH in those days was so fucking good. I'm talking the Danielson, Morishima, McGuiness, Joe, Aries, Tyler Black, Chris Hero, Kingston days. I have some amazing memories of the true spectacle of ROH at times. MLW has never given that feeling. They pull of that ECW style "surprise" pop though and put out some great hardcore style matches. Always hoping for more from MLW.
