Alex Hammerstone offers up the latest on what’s going on with him and Major League Wrestling.
Former MLW World Heavyweight Champion Alex Hammerstone took to social media this morning to update fans on his current status with Major League Wrestling.
“What’s up, everybody? I just wanted to take a second to jump on here and talk to you guys,” Alex Hammerstone began. “I’ve been getting a lot of questions and comments. Has MLW released me? Are they gonna release me? What’s my future in wrestling look like? And so, I kind of want to give an update. Unfortunately, the update is I’m not really sure at this point.
“Now, before I continue, the point of this video is not to bash the company. It’s not to talk negatively about anybody. It’s just to be an update on the situation, as I currently understand it. Now, this whole situation kind of broke to the news and the dirt sheets just recently, but it’s actually been ongoing for a couple of months now. And the communication on that and to me has been sparse, to put it nicely.
“I’ve tried several times to get on the phone with Court Bauer, it hasn’t happened, unfortunately. The people in the office that I had been relegated to speaking with the last I was told was that they were actually working towards the release. However, that was several weeks ago at this point. And then, when they broke the story to the dirt sheets, they told them that they had actually no intention of releasing me, so I’m not sure if there was a miscommunication somewhere.
Is there a miscommunication between Alex Hammerstone and MLW?
“Or if I was simply told that just to kind of shut me up and make me leave them alone for a little while. But like I said, I’m trying to leave the emotion and opinions out of this and just give you the facts of my situation. The fact is that I have not worked for the company well over 100 days at this point. They removed me from their active roster page; they removed me from all current marketing material; they edited me out of the show intro and highlights, and those sorts of things.
“And I have not been contacted for any dates moving forward; several dates have come and passed. I wasn’t contacted to work those, and I have not been contacted for their upcoming shows. It’s been made pretty apparent to me at this point that they have no intention of using me moving forward. But their official statement was that they have no intention of releasing me.
“So I’m not sure if I’m being punished just for asking if that was a possibility. Or if there’s, like I said, if there’s a miscommunication somewhere, unfortunately, that’s the best I can update you guys with right now. I’m trying to stay optimistic and just trying to move forward one day at a time. I love this business. I love this sport. And I want to continue doing it at a high level. Hopefully, there’s a resolution to the situation soon, but that’s all I can tell you right now.”
Hammerstone later deleted the tweet, so it’s unclear if there has been any update in regards to his status with the company since then.
