Posit
By Scott Keith on July 30, 2019
We all know WWE is the de facto #1 company in the US. AEW has been given the #2 spot until they lose it.
I posit that currently, the #3 company in the US right now is…. MLW.
While they may not have the tv exposure that ROH or IMPACT does (although I would argue more people are watching MLW than Impact), they have as good if not better a broadcast duo in Cornette and Bochinni, a more diverse and interesting roster than either
ROH or Impact (Teddy Hart and the new Hart Foundation, Filthy Tom Lawlor, the Contra Unit, LA Park and El Hijo de LA Park, Promociones El Dorado just to name a few), high quality connections with AAA and Pro Wrestling NOAH (and a LOT of their guys are used
on Impact, plus they had the Lucha Bros as well), and way more interesting story lines. And some of the matches in the last few months have been spectacular (Los Parks vs Dr. Wagner Jr and El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr, Lawlor and the Von Erichs vs Contra Unit
tornado tag, Hammerstone vs Davey Boy Jr, and on and on and on).

Not sure how familiar you are with their product, but what say you?
I'm pretty sure that if you're disqualifying Impact and ROH, then that still leaves New Japan as the #3 in the country before MLW.
