Major League Wrestling now has a new Executive Producer with Paul Walter Hauser. In addition, MLW has signed with Hauser’s management company, Artists First, for representation. This was done with the goal of securing television and streaming distribution deals and brand licensing partnerships.
The actor-turned-wrestler will play a major role in shaping the creative and business direction of MLW, as well as boosting its promotional reach across media platforms and driving new content initiatives. In an interview with Deadline, Hauser said: “I’ve been a lifelong fan of professional wrestling, and MLW represents everything I love about the sport— hard-hitting action, compelling characters, and innovative storytelling. I’m thrilled to join MLW as an Executive Producer and look forward to working alongside the team to bring fans the best possible experience.”
“Bringing Paul Walter Hauser on board as Executive Producer and teaming up with Artists First marks a major milestone for MLW,” said Court Bauer, MLW Founder and CEO. “Paul’s passion and creative insight, combined with the industry-leading expertise of Artists First, will propel MLW to new heights and expand our presence across multiple platforms.”
Hauser made his pro wrestling debut in 2023 and has been with the MLW ever since while also continuing to act. He recently competed at MLW Intimidation Games 2025 in a 4-way match for the MLW National Openweight Championship against Matthew Justice, AKIRA, and Bobby Fish. He has also been announced to be one of the 40 participants in the Battle Riot match, set to take place at the Battle Riot event on April 5.
