Paul Walter Hauser Champions MLW’s Fan-First Vision

On his Instagram account @paulwhausergram, actor-turned-wrestler Paul Walter Hauser laid out a simple objective for Major League Wrestling (MLW).

A Fighter’s Mission

“The goal for MLW is simple: Create good pro wrestling for real pro wrestling fans 🫡 #HelwaniShow,” he wrote alongside a photo of himself in wrestling gear at an MLW training facility. The post linked back to his appearance on The Helwani Show, where Hauser stressed the importance of authentic in-ring storytelling.

Building Momentum

This isn’t Hauser’s first foray into MLW action. Last summer, he teamed with Thrash Justice against The Andersons in a New York street fight at MLW’s Summer of the Beasts. A flashback post captures the rough-and-tumble atmosphere in Brooklyn as Hauser went toe-to-toe with seasoned grapplers.

He also promoted the upcoming MLW War Chamber event, reminding followers that the cage match streams free on YouTube and beIN SPORTS USA.

Next Steps

With his movie schedule balanced alongside championship defenses and MLW appearances, Hauser’s message is clear: he wants every match to matter to those who care most. His blend of acting charisma and in-ring grit is poised to bring fresh eyes—and ears—to MLW’s weekly shows.

Whether you discovered him in I, Tonya or cheering for him in a steel cage, Paul Walter Hauser is staking his claim as a bridge between Hollywood and hardcore wrestling.
