Pro wrestler LaBron Kozone recently signed a multi-year contract with Major League Wrestling (MLW), a move he described as the best opportunity for his career and his students.
Kozone, who was immediately labeled a "blue-chip and a generational" prospect by MLW owner Court Bauer upon signing in March, told Fox News Digital that he understands the term "generational talent" to mean someone who comes around once in a lifetime.
"I feel like I am a once in a lifetime not just talent but once-in-a-lifetime person," Kozone said. "To (have) done what I done, have as much impact as I've had if only been in it for a little bit over a decade."
He elaborated on his decision to join MLW, citing the promotion's rapid growth and accessibility. "You just look at the states where you have so many different promotions out there, what's going on in their universe and I know a lot of people in different universes and I'm looking at MLW and it's just like, OK, for me it’s probably the best situation with everything that I have going on in my obligation in pro wrestling."
Beyond his own career, Kozone highlighted the benefit for his students at Firestar Pro Wrestling Training School. "It goes deeper than just inside the ring and wrestling but it's how can I help people out outside the ring because I run Firestar Pro Wrestling Training School. So it's not only an opportunity for me, but it's opportunity for a lot of my students who are already getting a lot of opportunity," he explained.
Kozone also noted MLW's success, stating, "MLW is the fastest rising pro wrestling promotion out there right now. It's the most accessible and it's the fastest rising. Every show that I've attended, even before I got signed, it's been sold out. I feel like they're definitely pressing on something game changing."
Kozone is set to face Joe Coffey on Saturday's episode of MLW "Fusion." He indicated that after this match, his next goal is to pursue championship titles within the promotion.
