Last Man Standing for World Championship in Philly Oct 30​

(PHILADELPHIA, PA) – Major League Wrestling today announced a Last Man Standing Match for the World Heavyweight Championship: Alex Hammerstone (champion) vs. “The Judge” EJ Nduka for MLW FIGHTLAND ’22 on Sunday, October 30 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.

Tickets start at $15 at MLW2300.com and the 2300 Arena box office.

The card is a FUSION TV taping, airing on beIN SPORTS nationwide on cable and dish and in over 60 countries around the world.

Two titans. Two champions. One goal: crush, batter and beat the other to the point where he can no longer stand.

“The strongest athletes in the history of MLW! Who truly is THE power of Major League Wrestling?,” asks MLW Matchmaker Cesar Duran. “I am very curious, so at FIGHTLAND we will find out!”

The World Heavyweight Championship will be contested for the first-time ever in a physically draining and violent bout which stipulates the only way to victory is to decimate your adversary to the extent that he cannot stand for 10 count. Pinfalls, submissions, count outs, and disqualifications are all out the window.

Entering his second year as the World Heavyweight Champion, Hammerstone is having a banner run, having defended the belt against the best of the best and around the world.

But never before has the Phoenix powerhouse rumbled with such an impressive physical specimen as that of EJ Nduka.

A 3-sport athlete, Nduka competed in the NFL where he astonished with his 42-inch vertical and ability to do the 40 yard in 4.5. He even benched 225 pounds 33 consecutive times.

Driven by an “Undeniable” mantra, Nduka dominated in bodybuilding as a national champion. An IFBB Pro, Nduka has competed in the Arnold Classic and is a Lou Ferrigno Champion.

Bench pressing an uncanny 500 pounds and leg pressing over a ton, Nduka is not just pure power but speed and stamina. A dangerous combo for anyone that dares test the 6’8” skyscraper.

One-half of the reigning World Tag Team Championship team of Hustle & Power, Nduka has conquered all in the division, since winning the championship 8 months ago.

Who is the power in Major League Wrestling? The world will find out as two titans collide for the first-time ever in a Last Man Standing match at FIGHTLAND.

Which man will be left standing?

Who will be clutching the World Heavyweight Championship as the mightiest titan of all?

Real 1 vs. Mance Warner signed for Philly Oct 30​

Major League Wrestling today announced Real 1 vs. Mance Warner for MLW FIGHTLAND ’22 on Sunday, October 30 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.

Tickets start at $15 at MLW2300.com and the 2300 Arena box office.

The card is a FUSION TV taping, airing on beIN SPORTS nationwide on cable and dish and in over 60 countries around the world.

The notorious Jersey brawler. The “Southern Psychopath”.

In a battle of the north versus the south, Real 1 collides with Mance Warner for the first-time ever in the cathedral of violence known as the 2300 Arena.

Styles make fights and this battle of the north versus the south is a cultural clash unlike any other you’ll see in the square circle.

A certified trash talking hype beast from North Jersey, Real 1 is as loud on the mic as he is in his leopard print shirts and $12,000 Dior Jordans.

Balancing time in his Jersey boxing gym and private hip hop recording studio, Real 1 is a self-proclaimed fighting artist with WorldStar cred and a high profile in the fight game to back it up.

Standing across the ring for the first-time ever is the pride of Bucksnort, Tennessee… and Ol Mancer is looking to stomp a mudhole into the certified most hated wrestler in MLW, Real 1.

Mance Warner looks to raise hell, throw some lariats and hit the pay window when he collides with the notorious Real 1 in South Philly.

Preferring muddied cowboy boots and Shooter Jennings, Warner vows to whoop Real 1’s yankee ass and kick back a pack of light beers come October 30.

Will Real 1 continue to climb the rankings or will Mance’s ’22 MLW comeback kick into high gear?

He should sign with aew and bring back the team with archer

 

[Marty McFourth]

I'm likely going to watch this Fightland show when it airs, it's a really nice card overall. Even Enzo vs. Mancer has potential to really overdeliver, as it's very rare for me not to enjoy Mancer and I was actually quite impressed by Enzo when I last watched MLW, he's improved a lot over the years. Mack vs. Tankman got me so hyped when I saw it, should be amazing.

Major League Wrestling today announced Davey Boy Smith Jr & Billington Bulldogs vs. Bomaye Fight Club for MLW FIGHTLAND ’22 on Sunday, October 30 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia.

Tickets start at $15 at MLW2300.com and the 2300 Arena box office.

The card is a FUSION TV taping, airing on beIN SPORTS nationwide on cable and dish and in over 60 countries around the world.

One of the sport’s most celebrated British dynasties will embark on a new era October 30th in Philadelphia as a new generation British Bulldogs, captained by Davey Boy Smith Jr. will make their collective debut on the hallowed grounds of the 2300 Arena at FIGHTLAND.

“MLW has showcased some of wrestling’s greatest families over the years,” said MLW Matchmaker Cesar Duran. “Now it is time for the Bulldogs to take the spotlight. What better place than FIGHTLAND in South Philly?”

The fight team, composed of the 2019 Opera Cup winner Davey Boy Smith Jr., and his cousins Thomas and Mark Billington, collectively as the Billington Bulldogs, have united to win gold and glory in MLW.

The Billington Family, which roots date back to being executioners in the late 1800s before venturing into combat sports, has been a fixture of the squared circle for over a century. From bare knuckle fights to boxing to the Dynamite Kid’s prolific pro wrestling career, the Billington Family is a storied brawling British clan.

The legendary tag team of cousins Davey Boy Smith Sr. and “Dynamite Kid” Tom Billington, the British Bulldogs, defined tag team wrestling in the 1980s, dominating every organization from Japan to North America to Europe. Decorated in gold, Smith and Billington were feared and respected for their tenacity and innovation.

Now the Smiths and Billingtons reunite as a new generation forge a new chapter in their family’s rich history.

Debuting in 2019, Mark and Thomas, the nephews of the Dynamite Kid, have recently been training for their MLW debut with their cousin Davey Boy and another distant relative in Canada: Bret “Hitman” Hart.

What will the trio have in store for fans and their adversaries at FIGHTLAND? Only time will tell, but they will be up against some stiff competition.

The trio will compete in six-man competition on October 30th against the Bomaye Fight Club’s Alex Kane, Myron Reed & Mr. Thomas. Recently, Alex Kane took to twitter, making it known he would relish the opportunity to square off with the returning Davey Boy Smith Jr.

Now, the stage is set for that showdown… with a twist as history watches on as a new era of Bulldogs look to pounce the competition as the world watches on.

Which team will reign supreme?
