ORLANDO, FL – Major League Wrestling (MLW) today announced Mr. Thomas as a participant in MLW Battle RIOT VIII on Thursday, January 29 at the Osceola Heritage Park Events Center in Kissimmee, FL.  

Buy tickets starting at $10 as part of MLW’s fan Appreciation Night at http://www.MLWLive.com and Ticketmaster. 

Few competitors bring the kind of sheer, physical power that Mr. Thomas possesses — and in a match defined by chaos, collisions, and survival, that strength can change everything. The Battle RIOT is unforgiving, and Mr. Thomas’ ability to overpower, launch, and neutralize opponents makes him an immediate impact player the moment he steps through the curtain.

The Battle RIOT has become a global battleground, drawing fighters from around the world, all chasing a future shot at the MLW World Championship. For Mr. Thomas, the equation is simple: impose his will, clear bodies from the ring, and outlast 39 other competitors.

Two competitors begin the match. Every 60 seconds, a new combatant enters. Eliminations occur by pinfall, submission, or being thrown over the top rope with both feet hitting the floor. There are no disqualifications, meaning weapons are legal and chaos is constant. It is the largest and wildest match of the year in MLW.

In a RIOT, momentum swings fast — but power lasts. One slam can end a run. One throw can change the entire landscape of the match. That reality plays directly into Mr. Thomas’ hands.

On January 29 in Kissimmee, when the ring fills with bodies and survival becomes everything, Mr. Thomas brings the kind of force that can shift the balance of the entire RIOT.
