MLW News: Chicago Street Fight Added To MLW’s Fightland TV Tapings

Major League Wrestling’s Chicago debut is exactly two weeks away now, as the promotion heads there for its Fusion television tapings entitled Fightland at Cicero Stadium on November 8th.

The card for the event is already packed with big matches including an MLW World Heavyweight Title Match, Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix putting the MLW World Tag Titles up for grabs, a No Disqualification war between PCO and Brody King, plus more. Yesterday, MLW was in ‘The Windy City’ for media day, however there was action among all the talking after Sami Callihan, MLW World Heavyweight Champion Low Ki and Maxx Stardom ambushed Tom Lawlor.

Due to those actions, today MLW has announced a Chicago Street Fight for Fightland, pitting Callihan against Lawlor:

“FILTHY” TOM LAWLOR LOOKS FOR RETRIBUTION IN CHICAGO STREET FIGHT WITH SAMI CALLIHAN NOVEMBER 8 AT MLW FIGHTLAND

CHICAGO – After yesterday’s chaotic Chicago media day involving Sami Callihan attacking Tom Lawlor in a scheme seemingly hatched by Low Ki and Salina de la Renta, league officials have moved swiftly.  In addition to heavy fines, MLW has acquiesced to Team Filthy’s request for a match November 8th in Chicago.   

Chicago Street Fight: “Filthy” Tom Lawlor vs. Sami Callihan has been signed for Major League Wrestling FIGHTLAND in Chicago at Cicero Stadium.  The November 8th card is an MLW FUSION TV taping for beIN SPORTS.

Tickets are on sale now starting at $10 at http://www.MLWTickets.com. 

Moments before yesterday’s FIGHTLAND press conference was set to begin in Chicago, chaos ensued in the hallway behind the podium (read more).  Soon, security swarmed as Sami Callihan was seen fleeing the scene.  A commotion erupted as Low Ki caused a commotion while paramedics and league officials tended to Tom Lawlor.  

The Chicago press conference was abruptly cancelled as a video surfaced (watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2_4bOS_BpVQ) that revealed Callihan cowardly attacking Lawlor from behind as Low Ki provoked the #1 contender.

League officials met with MLW CEO Court Bauer throughout the night (read more) to determine what disciplinary actions would be taken while Team Filthy demanded a match with Callihan.  By early this morning, the league had set in motion the Chicago Street Fight bout as well as a “heavy” undisclosed fine. 

Now, the #1 contender Tom Lawlor will meet the culprit who tried to crush his larynx with a baseball bat… and they’ll clash in a Chicago Street Fight in just 14 days.  

Will Lawlor get payback or will with the 10-year UFC veteran be out of his league as he fights the dangerous brawler Callihan in a Chicago Street Fight?
