Mads Krule Krugger Knew He Had To Take Contra Unit In A Darker Direction After Jacob Fatu Departure

Mads Krule Krugger is bringing something different to Contra.

Since returning to the promotion in 2024, Contra Unit has been a dominant force in MLW, often holding multiple championships across multiple divisions.

As things currently sit, Contra Unit is home to the top title in the promotion, as Mads Krule Krugger is reigning MLW World Heavyweight Champion. Speaking with SES Scoops for a new interview, Krugger talked about trying to take the faction in a darker direction after Jacob Fatu’s departure from the group in 2021.

“Contra was basically a pro wrestling terrorist organization bent on taking over MLW. I’ve often said that Jacob Fatu when he was here and the leader of that group, it was going to be very hard to go from that to something new just because of how great he is and work he did. I knew I had to take it in a darker direction. Less on the terrorist and more into the horror. That’s my character in itself. I base my character off of horror movies. I think it’s something that is lost on pro wrestling, real monsters. I wanted to be Jason Voorhees. We’re still in the process of it. I think changing it is slow for a reason. I think fans will see that as we continue forward from here. It’s going to grow and evolve into something completely different than before, which is necessary.”

Krugger will defend his MLW World Championship in a House Of Horrors match at MLW Slaughterhouse.
