TNA Reached Out To Anthony Greene For More Appearances
Photo Credit: Anthony Greene Anthony Greene reflects on his short run with TNA Wrestling. Major League Wrestling's Anthony Greene was a recent guest on Fightful Overbooked's In the Weeds. When asked about his brief stint with TNA, Greene revealed that the company reached out to him to do more dates with them but he was already working over in Japan. Advertisement 'I got that call like a week before the show happened,' Anthony Greene said. 'I went down to Miami to do the tapings. I wrestled [Beast Mortos] and Mike Bailey in the same day. I thought me and [Mortos] went well, but me and Mike Bailey was incredible. 'We had a seven-minute X Division sprint-style match. Everyone was really happy with it. Scott D'Amore was super happy with it. Dreamer, Gail Kim, everyone seemed pleased. Stayed in contact with them. A month later, I was on a plane to Japan to do a four and a half month tour (with NOAH). I got a text from Tommy Dreamer as I landed saying, 'Are you available this Friday in Orlando?' 'No, I'm not. I'm in Japan until May.' 'That's kind of where the conversation ended at that point. Up until now, I've been full time with NOAH until December. I haven't really had talks with anybody. December, when I got home, the first thing I did was went to the MLW taping in New York to show face and meet Court Bauer and MSL. That's how this whole thing got rolling. All I needed was the opportunity to be in the United States long enough to have a chance to be in front of a national wrestling company, and MLW happened to be the one I chose.'

Pro wrestler Anthony Greene's MLW debut long time coming: 'Perfect moment for me'
Anthony Greene has been almost everywhere as a professional wrestler. He competed at WWE for its NXT and 205 Live brands. He was with All Elite Wrestling, performing mostly on "AEW Dark." He's worked at New Japan Pro-Wrestling and Pro Wrestling Noah. But when he makes his Major League Wrestling (MLW) debut on Saturday at Battle Riot VII, it will be a dream come true. "I'm a huge wrestling nerd, always been," Greene explained to Fox News Digital. "And I remember buying on the original MLW DVDs. I watched [Satoshi] Kojima win the title in the tournaments back in like 2002, Reloaded, WarGames, seeing Steve Corino with the Extreme Horsemen, and it's always been a place that I've followed. It's always been a place that I've followed. "And when it came back in 2017, I was wrestling for five years at that point. I decided that was a place I wanted to wrestle, and it's just never worked out. Either I wasn't where I needed to be to get to that level of where MLW was, or when I was there, the schedule just never matched. And the perfect moment for me, Battle Riot – where the MLW World Championship is on the line – is when I finally get to make my debut. So, yeah, you can say I'm very excited." MLW champion Matt Riddle will have to defend his title in the 40-man rumble match. It's no easy task. Even for someone like Greene, who has been in a few rumble-style matches over the course of his career, is thinking realistically. "One thing I am confident in is by the end of the night, MLW and the fans are going to know who Anthony Greene is and I will be back. That's one thing I can promise," he said. "And best-case scenario, I walk out with the MLW World Heavyweight Championship." Battle Riot VII takes place at Thunder Studios Arena in Long Beach, California. The sold-out show begins at 10 p.m. ET. Follow Fox News Digital's sports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
