This Sunday, March 25, Major League Wrestling (MLW) celebrates its one year anniversary as the AWA and NWA brands together in Las Vegas present Wrestlemania- the greatest card in the history of Major League Wrestling (MLW)!
1. Harley Race vs MLW Champion Buddy Rogers
Although tensions were evident between these two fellow members of the Four Horsemen since Hardcore Holidays back in December, Race's victory in the Royal Rumble in January created an unrepairable break with Rogers when he decided to use his automatic main event title shot at Wrestlemania to challenge for Rogers' MLW Championship rather than switch over to the AWA brand and challenge for Nick Bockwinkel's World Championship. As a result, Race was evicted from and attacked by the Four Horsemen. Can Race defeat Rogers in the main event at Wrestlemania for the MLW Championship?
2. Mil Mascaras vs World Champion Nick Bockwinkel in a best 2 out of 3 falls match: first fall is a hardcore Texas Death match, second fall is a lumberjack match with Bobo Brazil, The Crusher, Larry Hennig and The Heenan Family (Ray Stevens, Don Leo Jonathan, King Kong Bundy, and Ox Baker) serving as the lumberjacks, and the third fall (if necessary) will be a steel cage match.
After Race chose to challenge for Rogers' MLW Championship with his automatic title shot that he won in the Royal Rumble, a #1 contenders' tournament was held on the AWA brand to determine Bockwinkel's opponent at Wrestlemania. Mil Mascaras won the tournament and will once again seek to capture Bockwinkel's World Championship but this time in a best 2 out of 3 format never before used in Major League Wrestling (MLW)!
3. MLW Chairman Bruno Sammartino vs United States Champion Frank Gotch
MLW Chairman decided to come out of retirement just for this one match against Gotch- an opponent Sammartino has never before wrestled. Who will win this legendary matchup between what many experts consider two of the greatest wrestlers of all time?
4. World Tag Team Champions the Fabulous Kangaroos vs the Road Warriors vs the United States Tag Team Champions the Midnight Express in a triple threat elimination tag team match.
The 3 greatest tag teams in Major League Wrestling (MLW) square off in this triple threat tag team elimination match with the winner leaving Wrestlemania as the World Tag Team Champions. This will be a standard tag team match with just 2 wrestlers in the ring at all times and a wrestler can choose to tag in either his tag team partner or a member of the tag team not in the ring. When both of the other tag teams have been eliminated, the winner will be the World Tag Team Champions. Can the Fabulous Kangaroos succeed in defending their World Tag Team Championship against both the Road Warriors and the Midnight Express in the same match?
5. Jimmy Snuka, Jim Londos, and Hacksaw Jim Duggan vs Intercontinental Champion Larry Zbyszko, Don Muraco, and Curt Hennig in a 6 man tag team elimination match for the Intercontinental Championship.
What started off as a feud between Snuka and Zbyszko for Zbyszko's Intercontinental Championship has turned into a 6 man tag team elimination match for the Intercontinental Championship. Zbyszko will enter the match as the Intercontinental Champion, but to retain his title he must avoid getting pinned or DQd until Snuka, Londos, and Duggan have all been eliminated. If Snuka, Londos, or Duggan eliminate Zbyszko, they will be the new Intercontinental Champion provided they outlast the remaining members (if any) on Zbyszko's team and so forth until one side has been completely eliminated from the match. Can Zbyszko, who won the Intercontinental Championship back at Summer Slam to be the current longest-reigning champion in Major League Wrestling (MLW), somehow survive the odds to retain his Intercontinental Championship?
6. Bruiser Brody vs Steve "Dr. Death" Williams in a coffin match.
After receiving the blame for losing their feud to the Road Warriors and then getting hit in the face with HELL'S FLAMES by fellow Dungeon of Doom member Sam Hayne, Brody left the Dungeon of Doom. Since then, Brody has defeated Williams at No Way Out and also defeated both Hayne and Brody's former manager Killer Kowalski on recent episodes of NWA:NITRO. But now "Dr. Death," after building a customized coffin, gets a rematch against his former tag team partner Brody in the first-ever coffin match in the history of Major League Wrestling (MLW)!
7. Antonino Rocca vs Ivan Koloff (an inter-promotional match)[/b]
Tension started between these two when they battled each other during January's Royal Rumble and continued as they proceeded to interfere in each other's matches despite the fact that they are on different brands. Because Wrestlemania is one of the few nights each year when a wrestler on the AWA brand can wrestle a wrestler on the NWA brand, this inter-promotional match was announced.
7. Money in the Bank Match: Mr. Canada vs "Dirty" Richard Hutton vs Diamond Dallas Paige vs Dan Severn vs Hardcore Hodge vs Boogie Woogie Man
All 6 of these wrestlers will be trying to set up and climb a ladder to grab a briefcase hanging in the center of the ring to win the match. For the winner, the briefcase contains a contract that gives them an automatic title shot at any time of their choosing!
8. MLW Tag Team Champions the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff vs the Killer Bees vs the Heart Thrashers (Brutus Beefcake and Buff Bagwell) in a triple threat elimination tag team match.
These 3 tag teams on Major League Wrestling's (MLW's) AWA brand square off in this triple threat tag team elimination match with the winner leaving Wrestlemania as the MLW Tag Team Champions. This will be a standard tag team match with just 2 wrestlers in the ring at all times and a wrestler can choose to tag in either his tag team partner or a member of the tag team not in the ring. When both of the other tag teams have been eliminated, the winner will be the MLW Tag Team Champions. Can the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff succeed in defending their MLW Tag Team Championship against both former MLW Tag Team Champions the Heart Thrashers and the Killer Bees in the same match?
9. Antonio Inoki vs Giant Baba
These two tag team partners, good friends, and fellow countrymen will compete against each other for the first time inside a Major League Wrestling (MLW) squared circle.
11. Ted DiBiase will be on the Hot Seat to reveal what he says is a whole new attitude.
Ever since being denied the opportunity to compete in one of the final Money in the Bank Qualifying matches, DiBiase has shocked the wrestling world with his sudden attacks upon fan favorites such as the Boogie Woogie Man and Johnny Valiant. DiBiase (for whom Virgil mysteriously accompanied to the ring last weekend) has announced he will be revealing a whole new attitude/persona on the Hot Seat at Wrestlemania!
