Major League Wrestling (MLW®) today announced that Alex Hammerstone has signed a multi-year contract extension, keeping the reigning World Heavyweight Champion in MLW for years to come.
“As MLW grows, we do so together with our talent and that’s reflected in the new deal we structured with Alex,” said MLW CEO Court Bauer. “We’re excited to have Alex call MLW home for the foreseeable future.”
Making his MLW debut in early 2019, the Arizona native captured gold within his first 90 days in the league, becoming the inaugural National Openweight Champion in Milwaukee.
Agile, powerful and possessing an innovative arsenal, there is no denying Hammerstone’s dominance and excellence in everything he does. The Master of Muscle Mountain, Hammerstone is arguably the strongest athlete in MLW. Winning several bodybuilding contests, including winning the NPC Terminator in Tucson and establishing the Hammerstone Bodybuilding Invitation in 2020, Hammerstone is a force to reckon with.
Recognized for his muscular and natural power, Hammerstone is a genetic beast. The Phoenix powerhouse wrestler can bench press 565 pounds and squat-press 830 pounds. With hobbies including realizing the perfect tan, investing in Farmacia de Mexico and remaining at optimal vascularity, Hammerstone, 30, is determined to be the franchise of MLW.
One of the most impressive physical specimens in the sport, Hammerstone is by no means a one-dimensional professional athlete. Enjoying hanging with his fellow Dynastic bro Richard Holliday or shredding on the guitar for his girlfriend, “Your Boy Hammer” is an easy-going ruffian of the ring.
A member of the Dynasty, Hammerstone would conquer all challengers before setting his sights on a title versus title unification bout against Jacob Fatu. Winning the Battle Riot this past July, Hammerstone would make history October 2nd in Philadelphia where he defeated Fatu to win the World Heavyweight Championship and have the distinction of ending Fatu’s undefeated streak.
Over the past year, Hammerstone has amassed a large fan following, making him #1 in sales on MLWShop.com. Hammerstone will next defend the World Heavyweight Championship on January 21 in Dallas at Blood & Thunder.
