Richard Holliday believes MLW has a lot of untapped potential.

Richard Holliday made his MLW debut in 2018. He formed The Dynasty with MJF and Alex Hammerstone, and he won the MLW World Tag Team Championship. Holliday left the company in April 2023 but made his return at MLW One-Shot in December. He is set to challenge Alex Kane for the MLW World Heavyweight Championship at MLW Kings of Colosseum.

In an interview with Scott Fishman for TV Insider, Holliday was asked whether he saw himself helping behind the scenes to grow the brand, given his background in marketing.

“I think when I was first there I was focused on the wrestling aspect and gaining my ground. I do have a marketing degree. Now I see what MLW is doing and think [founder] Court Bauer is a very smart individual. I think he has put together a lot of strategic partnerships and has his hands on many different things. I would like to see if there is an opportunity to give my marketing prowess. I think MLW has a lot of untapped potential. It has been that way for a while. Now I think it’s time to hit the ground running,” Holliday said.

Holliday continued and noted that people have looked at MLW as a company that could explode at any time, and hopefully it will happen in 2024. He expressed his hope that the company will take the next big leap in 2024, and he teased that he has a lot of ideas.

“People have always looked at MLW as a company that could explode at any given time. 2024 is hopefully that year. Hopefully, it’s the year that it can come together for the company and take that next big leap. Whether it’s a TV deal or a streaming deal, there are so many avenues to consume content these days. As long as it’s profitable and makes sense. There are many ways to make money in the industry and to make sure your content is being consumed. I have a lot of ideas. I think there is a potential of having more of a partnership with MLW than what you see on screen,” Holliday said.
