Tim Donaghy, a disgraced former NBA official, is about to serve as a referee in a close position to announce MLW professional wrestling.
According to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Donaghy said of his upcoming role in MLW: “Professional wrestling is entertainment, and I joked that the NBA is a form of entertainment and that I compare it a little bit to professional wrestling behind when I was developing, I liked professional wrestling, guys like Hulk Hogan and Ivan Putski. I think it would be fun to worry and see where he’s going. “
Donaghy sentenced to 15 months in prison in 2008 for betting after admitting he was betting on NBA games despite his prestige as referee.
Donaghy, 53, an NBA official from 1994 to 2007, and his participation in MLW will mark the first time he will be a professional referee in any capacity in thirteen years.
Donaghy added: “If there is an answer, who knows where it can happen from here. I’m willing to do everything I can to make the exhibition entertained and laugh for everyone, and I’m delighted to be a component of it. . “
According to Barrasso, MLW’s plan is to create a script with Donaghy as Richard Holliday’s referee.
The situation of the non-public arbitrator has already been done in combat; nWo hired corrupt referee Nick Patrick for a time at WCW in the 1990s.
While WWE, AEW, Impact Wrestling and Ring of Honor are the best-known American wrestling promotions, MLW has also advanced in years, has a televised agreement with beIN Sports and can also be viewed on Fubo Sports Network or DAZN.
The new MLW episodes have aired for months, however, MLW CEO Court Bauer said on August 31 that he would return to the airwaves in early November.
