MLW Burning Crush Results – February 17, 2024
Tonight’s MLW Burning Crush special kicked off with a video package running down what happened at MLW Superfight, which featured surprising title changes and returns.
Former MLW World Heavyweight Champion Alex Kane walks out onto the stage with a microphone. Kane says this is way harder than he thought it was going to be. Kane says when he started the Bomaye Fight Club, he did it for himself, but the fans brought love and passion to every fight that he had.
Alex Kane says Bomaye Fight Club changed into a movement that was so big that he couldn’t even imagine. Kane says Bomaye is for the people. Kane says when he lost the championship, he let himself down. But what hurts him the most is he let all of the fans down.
Kane says he’s always been a straight shooter, and he’ll always tell the fans the truth. Kane admits he doesn’t know what’s next for him and says it’s time for him to step away from Major League Wrestling. Mr. Thomas comes out and says Kane is a lot of things, but he’s not a quitter. Thomas says over the last three years, Kane has put Bomaye on the map. Thomas says the people have never given up on him, and Bomaye is for these people.
Mr. Thomas says the hard work starts today and asks him if he wants his title match or if he wants to go on vacation. Kane says he wants the title back. Thomas says then it’s time to get to work. Kane says Bomaye is forever.

AJ believes he would be a better representative for the company than Kane is.
Alex Kane says Francis interrupted an important moment to spew some trash. Kane says he doesn’t play games and calls Francis a ho.
