history
NWA Major League Wrestling
The history of the promotion began in 1994 when the NWA Major League Wrestling banner was set up as part of the National Wrestling Alliance . At the end of the 1990s, the MLW's wrestling style shifted more and more towards hardcore wrestling . This obvious departure from the traditional "Southern Style" caused a large part of the wrestling squad to turn their backs on the MLW and put up their own event banner called Championship Wrestling From Florida . MLW was discontinued and closed in January.
reactivation
In the summer of 2002, Court Bauer reactivated the MLW to offer fans of the former ECW a new wrestling home. The promotion rose quickly because of its modern-risky "hybrid style" in the reputation of wrestling fans, especially since MLW had some big names from the former ECW, including wrestlers Steve Corino , Sabu and Sandman in the promotion.
The end of MLW
Due to a lack of sponsorship funds, the MLW slowly fell into insolvency. In addition, the promotion with Ring of Honor had grown into a powerful competitor within the independent wrestling scene. Ring of Honor finally replaced MLW as the market leader in the independent scene, and as a result MLW ceased operations in 2004.
