Few pro wrestlers have been as successful within a promotion over the past couple years as Alexander Hammerstone has been with Major League Wrestling. Since coming to MLW in 2019, Hammerstone has consistently been at the top of the promotion, holding multiple titles including the Openweight National Championship and currently the World Heavyweight Championship, a title he’s held since October, 2021. Shortly before Hammerstone’s World Heavyweight Championship title rematch with the man he defeated for the title, Jacob Fatu, at the SuperFight 2023 television tapings for MLW Underground on Reelz, spoke to MMAWeekly.com about a myriad of topics including his title bout with Fatu, working with wrestlers who have MMA stylings, and what he does outside wrestling to unwind. MMAWeekly.com: Firstly, Alex, let’s talk about MLW’s move to Reelz and what it means to the promotion and to yourself to potentially gain a whole new audience on the network starting with SuperFight 2023. Alex Hammerstone: Not only does that mean the potential for new fans and people seeing MLW for a first time, it also kind of sparks a fire under myself and a lot of guys in the locker room that we have new eyes on us for the first time, so we’re making sure we’re sharpening our tools for the day. It’s just another thing that makes us that much hungrier
