Jacob Fatu To Defend MLW World Title Against Brian Pillman Jr.

Although he did not win the Opera Cup, Brian Pillman Jr.'s performance during the tournament impressed many within Major League Wrestling. So much so that he has earned an MLW World Title opportunity agianst champion Jacob Fatu. The bout will take place at Major League Wrestling's Zero Hour event on January 11.

Fatu v. Pillman is a continuation of the Hart Foundation v. CONTRA Unit feud that has been going on for a long time.
