Hammerstone wished the company well before adding that he requested his release because &#8220;I feel it\u2019s what\u2019s right for me at this time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> It&#8217;s unclear whether MLW has opted to grant Hammerstone his release. Although he has been working independently, his last MLW match was when he dropped the title to Alex Kane on July 8. Hammerstone was a good champion for the company and has shown versatility by clicking as a babyface and a heel in MLW.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">My time with <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MLW?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@MLW<\/a> was 5 of the best years of my life and career.
