Major League Wrestling today announced the 2023 Opera Cup will kick off at MLW War Chamber’23 Thursday, April 6 at New York City's Melrose Ballroom.
The card is an MLW TV taping, airing nationwide in the US and in over 60 countries around the world.
Stage one of the 2023 Opera Cup will kick off in New York City April 6, league officials confirmed. Entries and alternates will be revealed shortly.
Held annually for nearly 50 years at various turn-of-the-century opera house locations from New York City to Boston, the Professional Wrestling Opera House Cup was a grueling multi-day tournament.
The best of the day competed in the tournament and would often be an entree to more success, including the World Heavyweight Championship of the day. For years the cup has sat in the attic of the Hart Mansion in Calgary until the tragic passing of the last cup recipient, Stu Hart (1948 winner).
After a 71-year hiatus, the Opera Cup returned in 2019, hosted by New York’s Melrose Ballroom.
The Professional Wrestling Opera Cup is dedicated to the great men who have fought valiantly before us to ensure our passion, professional wrestling be cemented and respected in the annals of time.
