Pro wrestler LaBron Kozone signed a multi-year deal with Major League Wrestling (MLW) in March and was immediately described as a blue-chip and "generational" prospect.

COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON FOX NEWS DIGITAL Kozone talked to Fox News Digital about his decision to sign with MLW in a recent interview .
"It was just a great opportunity just with how things are going today in the wrestling world, you want to put yourself in a predicament where you become most effective, you know?" he said.
"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.
"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.
And plus, 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." CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COM MLW owner Court Bauer was the one who called Kozone a "blue-chipper and a generational prospect" earlier this year when the company announced Kozone’s signing.

"Honestly, just to be quite frank, I don't know what blue chip means.
But generational talent, I can understand that," he said.
