MAJOR LEAGUE WRESTLING NEWS AND NOTES

By Mike Johnson on 2019-01-19 09:04:00

Funeral information for Rex Bacchus, who worked for MLW and passed away last week following a battle with cancer, will be announced on Monday.  His passing hit a lot who work for MLW really hard over the few days.  We send our deepest condolences Bacchus' friends and family.

Last night's appearance on Major League Wrestling: FUSION TV was the final scheduled appearance for former MLW Champion Shane Strickland.  It will also be the final appearance for Rush, although that wasn't planned obviously.  Strickland is believed to be WWE NXT-bound.

Marketing website Portada-Online.com ran a piece on MLW's use of Latin stars in their promotion.  I was interviewed for the piece, which you can read by clicking here.

The updated lineup for the 2/2 Superfight event in Philadelphia, PA, which will feature a live one-hour special on BeIN Sports at the 2300 Arena features:

*MLW Champion Low Ki vs. Tom Lawlor.

*MLW Tag Team Champions Pentagon Jr. & Fenix vs. The Hart Foundation.

*Brian Pillman Jr. & mystery partner vs. Tommy Dreamer & mystery partner.

*Ace Romero vs. Simon Gotch.

*Rey Horus vs. Aerostar.

*The debut of Mance Warner.
