Report: Sami Callihan Finished With MLW, Rumored To Have “Spit In Cornette’s Face”

Sami Callihan moves on.

According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Sami Callihan is finished with Major League Wrestling. Callihan lost a Loser Leaves Town match to Mance Warner on a recent episode of MLW Fusion. MLW reportedly wanted to keep Callihan around, potentially bringing him back under a mask like the “Midnight Rider,” however, officials were reportedly unhappy that Callihan damaged the Waukesha, Wisconsin venue during his bout with Warner. 

There’s also the spitting incident between Callihan and announcer Jim Cornette. Following the incident, which Callihan owned up to, Cornette said Callihan would never work in MLW again.

I spit in @TheJimCornette’s face tonight @MLW, and he did NOTHING.

Then went out and had a “Garbage” wrestling match of the year with @ManceWarner.

You should probably watch it when it airs on @beINSPORTS. #FuckJimCornette #IStandWithSonny pic.twitter.com/Sl0cWC0c42

I didn’t “do” anything because I was at the broadcast table waiting to call you getting your ass kicked by @ManceWarner –which you did. @RichBocchini wasn’t happy you got HIM wet either but we got our shots so it’s OK. Enjoy wrestling anywhere but @MLW now, loser. #DRAWwhatwhere https://t.co/fBRJezFeys

It’s possible Cornette was simply referencing Callihan’s loss to Marner in the Loser Leaves Town bout and keeping kayfabe alive.
