MLW News: Joey Ryan & Swoggle Teaming Up At Fightland In Chicago
Major League Wrestling is just over two weeks away from their big debut in Chicago, as they journey to Cicero Stadium on November 8th for their Fusion television tapings entitled Fightland.
To this point, we already know Shane Strickland will get his rematch for the MLW World Title against Low Ki at the event, plus LA Park and El Hijo de LA Park will challenge Pentagon Jr. and Rey Fenix for the MLW World Tag Titles. This is an addition to the more recently announced No Disqualification battle that will pit PCO against Brody King, as well as the debut of CMLL star Rush as he goes one-on-one with Sammy Guevara.
Today, MLW has revealed that one of the independent scene’s unusual tandems comes together for Fightland:
JOEY RYAN & SWOGGLE FORM “SIZE MATTERS” TAG TEAM; MAKE THEIR MLW TAG DEBUT IN CHICAGO AGAINST THE DIRTY BLONDES NOVEMBER 8
CHICAGO – What happens when the King of Dong Style teams with the King of Small Style? Fans will find out at MLW’s FIGHTLAND on November 8th in Chicago at Cicero Stadium when Joey Ryan and Swoggle team-up to form “Size Matters” against the Dirty Blondes. The November 8th card is an MLW FUSION TV taping for beIN SPORTS.
The sport’s sleaziest grappler will team with 4’5” of defiance as they plunge into a tag team division so big it’s bulging with competition. This marks their first tag team encounter in MLW where they will take on the veteran team of Michael Patrick and Leo Brien, collectively known as the Dirty Blondes.
The Blondes have had a tumultuous 2018 with highlights including competing for the World Tag Team Championship this past June as well as being part of Colonel Parker’s Stud Stable. However, the Stud Stable has recently had its challenges with the firing of key members. Now the Blondes look to cement their position in the Stud Stable as well as the tag team division with a victory over Size Matters.
The new team Size Matters is as unorthodox as it gets. From lollipops to biting butts, Joey Ryan and Swoggle may just be the right mix of unpredictable elements to create a winning formula.
Will Size Matters prove just that in Chicago on November 8th or will the Dirty Blondes go to the pay window? Find out LIVE in Chicago at MLW: FIGHTLAND November 8th.
Tickets are on sale now at www.MLWTickets.com.

TNA Impact on AMC Drops to 175,000 Viewers, 0.03 18-49 Rating Amid Heavy Sports Competition
TNA Thursday Night Impact averaged 175,000 viewers on AMC last week, a 17.5% decline from the previous week’s 212,000 and the lowest audience since January 22. The show posted a 0.03 rating in the key 18-49 demo, down 25% and matching its lowest demo figure on AMC since the move.
The drop coincided with stiff competition — Impact ran opposite the NFL Draft (simulcast on ESPN, ABC and the NFL Network) as well as NHL and NBA playoff coverage, leaving the program tied for 70th on the primetime cable charts. Versus the prior 10-week average (0.04 rating and 240,300 viewers), last week’s show fell 25% in the demo and 27.2% in overall viewers.

Nick Hogan Open to Pursuing In-Ring Career After Viewing Hulk Hogan: Real American
Nick Hogan told the Bonus Edition of the 83 Weeks podcast that after watching the final version of Hulk Hogan: Real American he’s more open than ever to stepping into the ring if the opportunity presents itself. Hogan said he’s been knocking off ring rust, is in good shape and “would absolutely welcome” the chance to pursue an in‑ring career, and noted the docuseries — which premiered on Netflix on April 22, 2026 — helped clarify his father’s legacy.
He also praised the series for pulling back the curtain on the many facets of Hulk Hogan, from character work to charitable efforts, saying it showed how dynamic a person his father is. Nick added that the long-discussed Chris Hemsworth biopic from 2019 remains a possibility despite delays, as the documentary continues to renew interest in Hogan’s story.
