Brick Savage has been one of those wrestlers.

The 6-foot-2, 340-pound behemoth has already run through Trevor Lee, Matt Riddle and Flip Sequoyah and has aligned himself with Contra Unit as MLW’s most-feared faction continues to rip through the rest of the roster.
Savage insisted in an interview with OutKick Dropkick that Contra should still be on everyone’s radar.
“Contra is a cast of misfit toys that nobody wants, nobody wants to be around because they’re dangerous people, and that camaraderie that we all have together, each background that they are from, we’re the dangerous people in the locker room that people usually avoid. So, you put those people in a group together and we work well together.”
Savage said everyone on the MLW roster is on notice, including MLW world heavyweight champion Killer Kross. Savage said he is seeking to bring gold back to Contra.
“I’d list everybody on the roster – all of them. They’re all on the list,” he said. “The main guy at the top of my list is going to be the heavyweight champion, Killer Kross. There’s other guys along the way that I’m sure I’ll get my hands on, but the main goal, the main prize is to carry the gold and the top honor at MLW, to take the heavyweight championship.
“That has to belong to Contra at some point.”

Kross won the Battle Riot match at Battle Riot VIII during the start of the year. He has held the belt every day since then, putting away any opponent who has stepped up to him.
Savage has been in pro wrestling for a while, making his name on the independent scene. But for those who are unfamiliar with his game, he said he wants fans to know just how dangerous he could be.

“Basically, want them to know and feel how unhinged and how heinous I can be. I think the sense of danger has been lost in wrestling a lot. A lot of it’s good in entertainment and stuff like that, but there hasn’t been a big sense of fear and danger that feels absolutely real,” he explained to OutKick Dropkick.
“When I walk out the curtain, I want them to feel that oh s— moment that this is about to get serious and ‘I need to be on my guard, my toes to pay attention about what’s about to happen because who knows, I could be next.’ That’s the feeling I want to introduce to people and what’s coming up. For me, I feel that elevated danger is going to start to rise more and more.”
MLW announced earlier this month it would show its weekly series, “Fusion,” on Tubi.
“It’s incredible to be honest,” Savage said. “Man, to already be part of the MLW roster and be part of Contra is already amazing, and then getting a Tubi deal to air free on Thursdays is absolutely insane. They’re moving so fast at connecting all these pieces, it’s actually incredible.

“They’re one of the fastest growing wrestling companies out there. And being on Tubi, right, and just say, ‘Hey, go watch me on Tubi,’ and people being able to pull up the app, pull it up on their TVs, pull it up on their phones, watch it wherever they are is absolutely incredible. So, it’s an insane feeling to be a part of. So happy about that.”
