Court Bauer Wants To Build MLW In The South, Explains Why They Haven’t Gone To West Coast

Court Bauer talks about wanting to expand Major League Wrestling. 

Major League Wrestling continues to grow every year thanks to its partnerships and its strong events in markets such as Philadelphia, New York City, Chicago, and more. 

While they have a good grasp of markets that are already well tapped into, Court Bauer hopes that MLW will be able to extend into the south in addition to other markets within the next couple of years.

“We’re really targeting the south. We want to hit the south a bit hard in the next year or so,” said Court Bauer on The Business of the Business. “We’ve looked at going to LA, and we’ve flirted with things like that over the years. We were very close to doing some of those things. There is a lot of cost involved with that. Unless you have kind of a satellite set up over there, you’re talking about a lot of things you have to get from east coast to west coast, you figure in inflation, when you look at the margins, it’s like, ‘Ehhh, it’d be nice to go out there,’ but for business and your fiduciary responsibility to the company, it feels hard and a bit of a swing unless you really adjust ticket prices and do all of those things. Right now, we’re really focused on the south and building out the east coast.”

Major League Wrestling has spent some time in the south in the past. Their relaunch, MLW One Shot was held in Florida in October 2017. 

MLW recently relaunched its underground television program on REELZ. The network recently stated that they are in talks for a potential second season. Learn more here.
