MLW Holiday Rush Results – December 24, 2023
Major League Wrestling’s Holiday Rush special kicks off with a video recap of the rise of MSL’s World Titan Federation.
AKIRA defeated Alec Price, Love, Doug, Nolo Kitano, Brett Ryan Gosselin, and J Boujii in a Scramble 6 Match
- AKIRA hit Alec Price with an elevated reverse DDT to score the pinfall victory.
After the match, AKIRA gets a microphone and sits in the ring. AKIRA says Rickey Shane Page is a leech and has sucked the life out of every stable he’s ever been a part of. AKIRA says he’s going to take down The Calling.
This brings out The Calling. Rickey Shane Page stands on the stage and sends his goons to the ring to take out AKIRA. Page eventually comes to the ring himself and lays AKIRA out with an Evenflow DDT. Page stands over AKIRA and gets kicked in the balls for his showboating. This finally brings out security and referees to separate the two men.

Hammerstone speaks from the heart
Alex Hammerstone gets on the microphone and says he’s not supposed to be on it right now, but he has the best of intentions. Hammerstone says he’s felt a lot of frustration and anger in recent months, but tonight, he feels grateful. Hammerstone says Major League Wrestling took a chance on him after every other wrestling company passed on him. Alex puts over Court Bauer for signing him to a three-year contract and giving him a new contract before it was up for ten times more.
Hammerstone says this might be the last time we see him in a Major League Wrestling ring, but he will always be the man that this company built. Hammerstone puts over all the hungry men in the back who will continue to do great things for Major League Wrestling.
Court Bauer and Alex Hammerstone embrace on the stage afterward in a very heartfelt moment as MLW Holiday Rush goes off the air.
