MLW Returns to Charleston, SC in September

From MLW:

Major League Wrestling (“MLW”) storms back into Charleston September 12!

Tickets go on sale this Wednesday at 10 a.m. ET at MLWgo.com, as Major League Wrestling returns to Festival Hall in the heart of downtown Charleston on Saturday, September 12 for a stacked night featuring its signature event FIGHTLAND and a FUSION TV taping fueled by Danny McBride’s Don Gato Tequila.

Charleston has become the home base for Major League Wrestling, with fans across Chucktown embracing MLW as their hometown league. That connection has fueled a surge of momentum, with every MLW Charleston event to date selling out well in advance of fight night – cementing the city as one of the hottest stops on the calendar.

On September 12, MLW brings that energy back to Festival Hall with FIGHTLAND, one of the league’s most anticipated events, paired with a FUSION TV taping showcasing the league’s top wrestlers and rising contenders.

Fans are strongly encouraged to secure tickets early. The last Charleston event sold out days ahead of time, and demand is expected to be even higher for FIGHTLAND.

Tickets start at just $10, making it one of the most accessible live sports experiences in the country.

Don’t wait. Don’t miss out. Set a remind for this Wednesday’s on-sale.

Shotzi considers wearing wedding dress in Death Match

She told Wrestlezone: “I thought about bringing that wedding dress too, because I thought it would be really cool if I wore that wedding dress for a death match and it got all bloody. The white wedding dress would look really tough,” Shotzi said. “So maybe I’ll bust out the wedding dress again.”

Chris Stapleton in VIP Section in Last Week’s Charleston Show

Amanda Eppolito posted on social media that the country music star was sitting in the second row of last week’s MLW show.

Gordon: “Quite so. MLW remains a most intriguing promotion — even in quiet weeks, the speculation alone keeps fans buzzing.”

🔥 WOW This Week

From wowe.com

“THIS WEEKEND ON WOW – WOMEN OF WRESTLING
Bullies vs. Bullied
Las Vegas is still stunned with disbelief from last week’s shocking events where neither Championship match ended the way anyone expected. Meanwhile, The IQ Superior Samantha Smart hasn’t given up on her mission to enlighten Kalaki The Island Girl, sending Dr. Pam Demonium and Miranda The Mindful, into a tag battle against Destiny Diesel and Kalaki The Island Girl. Will the unfinished business from their last encounter be settled?. And in a highly anticipated 10-Way Elimination Main Event, Tormenta, Gabriella Cruz, Lil J-Boogie, Sugar, and Spice finally get their shot at revenge against the group that’s targeted each of them, The Alliance: Arianna Gambino, Reina Del Rey, Sylvia Sanchez, BK Rhythm, and Gigi Gianni. Only one side leaves vindicated: the bullies or the bullied.”

Ed: “Fans, WOW’s roster stays larger than life — even between episodes, the personalities keep the momentum rolling.”
