I want to create a legacy. MLW has given me that platform,&#8221; said Alex Hammerstone. &#8220;Not only that, I still have a lot to do in this company. I still have a lot of goals. If you haven\u2019t noticed someone has that World Heavyweight Championship and it ain&#8217;t me and that just don\u2019t sit right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Hammerstone continued, &#8220;I have a platform here at MLW to explore everything I can to do and test myself against the best out there and that\u2019s what it\u2019s important to me. I want to thank everyone out there and hope you follow me on this journey.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This deal was one we needed to get done for the league and its future,&#8221; said MLW CEO Court Bauer. &#8220;We identified Alex as someone worthy of being tagged a franchise player. Alex is an exceptionally rare type of athlete and person. We are delighted he is calling MLW home for the foreseeable future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Phoenix, Arizona powerhouse originally signed with the league in late 2018 and quickly climbed the rankings to become the inaugural MLW Openweight Champion on June 1, 2019. A founding member of the Dynasty, Hammerstone has remained undefeated in singles competition since his debut.<\/p>\n<p>Hammerstone has dominated the MLW top 10, holding the #1 ranking for nearly a year having defended the championship against top ranked competitors from MLW, Japan, Canada and Mexico.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration-line: underline;\"><strong>Powell&#8217;s POV:<\/strong><\/span> Hammerstone actually announced that he re-signed on this week&#8217;s MLW Anthology television show. MLW previously announced that Richard Holliday re-signed with the company, so the key Dynasty members will be sticking around. While we don&#8217;t know the terms of the deal, these are key signings for MLW, as both men have really emerged as wrestlers to build around.<\/p>\n<div id=\"prowr-1116257247\" class=\"prowr-after-content prowr-entity-placement\"><a class=\"spreaker-player\" href=\"https:\/\/www.spreaker.com\/show\/pwboom\" data-resource=\"show_id=3275525\" data-theme=\"light\" data-playlist=\"show\" data-width=\"100%\" data-height=\"340px\">Listen to \"Pro Wrestling Boom Podcast\" on Spreaker.<\/a><script async src=\"https:\/\/widget.spreaker.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Jason Powell, ProWrestling.net Editor&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":30295,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"episode_type":"","audio_file":"","podmotor_file_id":"","podmotor_episode_id":"","cover_image":"","cover_image_id":"","duration":"","filesize":"","filesize_raw":"","date_recorded":"","explicit":"","block":"","itunes_episode_number":"","itunes_title":"","itunes_season_number":"","itunes_episode_type":"","_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7,2],"tags":[2629,2853,630,128,2456],"class_list":["post-73958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-misc_news","category-newsticker","tag-alex-hammerstone","tag-dynasty","tag-mlw","tag-pro-wrestling","tag-richard-holliday"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
