By Mike Johnson on 2021-05-19 10:31:00

While Major League Wrestling had sold out their 7/10 return to Philadelphia, which will be their return before live fans, relaxed restrictions in Pennsylvania, have led to additional tickets being placed on sale at www.MLW2300.com.

The promotion is currently in the process of mapping out their creative plans for the next year while sitting in between "seasons."

One priority they aee also focusing on is upgrading their broadcast package and adding additional staff.  MLW has an opening currently for an editor at https://mlw.com/jobs/.   The promotion wants a "more electric, bigger" feel coming into their new season.

The MLW Open Draft will stream tomorrow at 7 PM EST.  We are told that the first competitor to be revealed has worked internationally and for other national companies, but will be making their MLW debut.  This person signed with MLW a few weeks back.

LA Park is still battling pneumonia but is said to be doing better.  MLW spoke with his family yesterday, according to an update on their website.

There were plans to do a talent agreement with Pro Wrestling NOAH next month but that's been put on hold and delayed due to the COVID-19 upswing in Japan.

Lio Brien, who signed a new deal a few months back, is being repackaged and given a new persona.

Scheduled for this Saturday's episode of MLW Fusion at 12 PM EST on Vice TV:

Lumberjack Match: CONTRA UNIT vs. Los Parks.
