Mini luchador Demus debut in MLW on April 18 in Chicago The Mini-Estrellas are coming to Major League Wrestling The speculator world of the minis will invade Major League Wrestling this Spring as the 5 foot tall and under mini-estrella luchadores take to the air in MLW.

The event will be a MLW FUSION TV taping for beIN SPORTS. Tickets start at $10 at LuchaTickets.com. One of the hallmarks of Lucha Libre is the mini division.  Featuring the smallest, arguably the quickest and most beloved luchadores in the sport, the mini division predominately features luchadores with a height limit of 5' tall.   Legendary luchadores such as Rey Mysterio Jr. debuted in AAA's mini division and have thrilled fans with the aerial acrobatics, colorful attacks and larger than life personalities.  Now the world of minis comes to Major League Wrestling starting with Demus, who will make his debut April 18th.   While league matchmakers have yet to disclose his opponent, Demus himself is a wild entry into MLW.  A vicious rudo, Demus has been called a "troll" for his unrelenting attacks in matches.  With a disturbing face ghoulishly painted for war, Demus is a danger to all.  A former World Mini Champion in Mexico, Demus has teamed with the likes of Damian 666 as part of an unholy and violent collective that has terrorized Mexico over the years.  Demus now looks to unleash his own form of hell on his adversaries in America in MLW. Will anyone stop Demus demonic desires to raise hell in MLW? Experience the minis as they make their debut in Chicago April 18 at Cicero Stadium. Buy tickets starting at $10 at LuchaTickets.com.
