MLW is bringing a high level of authenticity to professional wrestling, and that fact is not lost on Matt Cross.
Matt Cross recently spoke with Wrestling Headlines’ Joseph Galizia and would delve into the professionalism displayed in the company as well as touting their polished presentation.
“Even now being a part of it. When I watch in the back and they’re running the monitors. There’s a disconnect between what I see in the monitor, and then what I see live in the ring, the presentation is so clean and so professional. I’ll be in the back. And I’m like, What is this that we’re watching? And it’s the events that I’m a part of, and then there’s a certain excitement, so I’m like, wait, I’m about to go out there and it’s gonna look this good? They’re just bringing a level of a professionalism and a polished presentation of what we do. And I mean, look at the roster to have guys like, I mean, Alex Shelley is like a wrestling genius, right? He is a star in every single possible way. And not only is he a star, we’re all indebted to him for what he’s done to the wrestling business. And the fact that he’s not a multi-gillionaire or the face of professional wrestling is insane. So to have a guy like Alex, Shelley, and myself and TJP all under one roof. I mean, you’re literally getting some of the best professional wrestlers in the business within one roster. I mean, that’s crazy. So it sort of speaks for itself. You know, there’s just a lot of excitement around that. There’s a lot of excitement around the business in general right now. And I think MLW is a part of that rise.”
Matt Cross is set to face the former Enzo Amore, nZo during tonight’s edition of MLW Fusion: Alpha. Cross commented on the contrasting styles between himself and nZo, calling it a rare opportunity to see a unique presentation.
“Yeah, sort of expect the unexpected, right? I mean, we have completely different experiences within the professional wrestling business…completely different. I mean, here’s a guy that, that the entirety of his knowledge and perspective on our business is within one, in my opinion, a small bubble. And then you have a world-traveled guy that has seen wrestling from a global perspective like no one else has ever seen it via 29 different countries, and see how they clash again, bringing completely different philosophical views, completely different skill sets, completely different ideas about what this business is. So again, what a rare opportunity to see those philosophical clashes, styles, clashes, everything else just come to a head.”
