MLW issued the following:

Sami Callihan and Mance Warner on collision course April 4 at Rise of the Renegades

NEW YORK –  What happens when Ol Mancer collides with the mercenary known as Sami Callihan? New York City may never be the same. 

MLW today announced Sami Callihan vs. Mance Warner for MLW's April 4th (Rise of the Renegades) event at the Melrose Ballroom. The event will be a MLW FUSION TV taping for beIN SPORTS.

Tickets start at $20 at http://www.MLWTickets.com

Labeled "dangerous" by many, Sami Callihan embarked on a path of destruction in MLW for over a year until a bitter betrayal by Promociones Dorado led to a violent collision with the destroyer LA Park in Miami. Since the mayhem in Miami, Callihan has mysteriously vanished. While whispers of what happened were plentiful, Callihan's future in MLW seemed cloudy at best... until now.

The mercenary known as Sami Callihan has been carefully watching the rise of MLW's renegades - including one Mance Warner... and he's intrigued.  So much so he wants to test himself against Ol Mancer one-on-one.  Callihan also claims to have an important message for someone in MLW.  Who? What is the message? We'll find out as the Worldwide Desperado reemerges in MLW on April 4th.

But Ol Mancer isn't sitting back waiting for Callihan. He's putting in the work.  The "Southern Psycho" has recently found himself quarreling with Salina de la Renta and her charge following a backstage incident where he may have spilled some beer on the empresaria. Triggering a war of respect, Mance Warner has been raising hell with the likes of LA Park in MLW ever since.

Now, Ol Mancer must adapt to a new challenge as he looks to climb the ladder in Major League Wrestling as he takes on a man who has bludgeoned opponents with his bat to the point where one opponent nearly lost an eye and had crushed bones in his face. 

New York City and the world: be ready as chaos meets carnage when Mance Warner wrestles Sami Callihan in New York April 4 at the Melrose Ballroom as MLW presents a national TV taping for beIN SPORTS (buy tickets).

Tickets to witness the event live in New York start at $20 at MLWTickets.com.  Tickets will also be available day of show at the box office unless the events sells out in advance.
