Grab your tickets at www.MLWNYC.com and on Eventbrite. The Battle Riot has officially become lucha lit with Lince Dorado entering the 40-wrestler extravaganza!  The lynx of lucha looks to outlast 39 other wrestlers as MLW makes its highly anticipated return to the Big Apple after 3 years. Innovative as he is evasive in the ring, Lince promises to claw through the competition and grab his golden ticket to a shot at the World Champ. A wily wrestler with a penchant for pouncing his opponents, Dorado will have to move quick and avoid being pinned, thrown over the top rope or submitted in literally the biggest match in the sport. Having toured on the Japanese and Mexican circuits, Dorado can adapt to a variety of wrestling styles and competitors. A newcomer to MLW, Lince is determined to showcase his world class talents in the ring. Could Dorado's lightning speed and endless lucha arsenal ignite victory? Find out LIVE in New York City on June 23 at MLW Battle Riot IV!

Marshall Von Erich enters the Battle Riot See MLW's return to NYC June 23 featuring a TV taping

Major League Wrestling today announced a new participant in the 40-wrestler Battle Riot as MLW returns to New York City's Melrose Ballroom on June 23, featuring an MLW Fusion TV taping. Grab your tickets at www.MLWNYC.com and on Eventbrite. Marshall Von Erich promises to unleash a tornado when he enters the 40-wrestler Battle Riot extravaganza in the Big Apple this summer.  As one of the last standing competitors in last year's Battle Riot, Marshall looks to go the distance and secure his shot at his first World Heavyweight Title shot and bring gold home to the Von Erich ranch. The barefoot brawling "Son of Thunder" has accomplished much in MLW since his debut in 2019. Winning the World Tag Team Championship in his first year along with his brother Ross, Marshall has predominately competed in tag team action. However, the Battle Riot could alter his next move in the league if he can outlast 39 other fighters and collect his golden ticket to what would be the biggest bout of his career. Will Marshall Von Erich clinch a guaranteed title shot by winning the Battle Riot in NYC? Find out LIVE in New York City on June 23 at MLW Battle Riot IV!
