Cody Hall Won't Be Joining MLW After All
Cody Hall, the son of Scott Hall, a four-time WWF Intercontinental Champion, had reportedly signed a contract with MLW in October, yet plans for his debut have been canceled. Although there appears to be no controversy surrounding the termination of his contract, no explanation has been given either.
MLW reportedly intended to put Hall in the CONTRA Unit along with Ikuro Kwon, Jacob Fatu, Josef Samael, Simon Gotch, and Mads Krugger, who was added to the group during the latest episode of MLW Fusion. There was also speculation that Hall might pair up with Brian Pillman Jr. to start a feud with Von Erichs or Injustice.
