Powell’s POV: MLW announced the Strickland vs. Callihan match today. They emphasized that if Low Ki beats Strickland for the title at the July 12 event in Orlando, then Low Ki will defend the MLW Title against John Hennigan at the New York show.
MLW’s definition of the Battle Riot: “A mash-up of a battle royal, royal rumble and anything goes street fight, this super-sized main event will feature 40 wrestlers with new participants entering the ring every 60 seconds.” The winner will get a title shot for the MLW Championship anytime, anywhere. This event will be taped for the MLW Fusion television series. For ticket information visit MLWTickets.com.
