MLW Announces A Return To Tampa After 20 Years

MLW is returning to Florida, a state where it all began for the promotion over two decades ago. 

Major League Wrestling will be ringing in spring with one of their primary PLEs, War Chamber and the event will take place at Coliseum in St. Petersburg, FL.

MLW made the announcement on Tuesday, giving fans plenty of time to purchase tickets in advance as the sale begins Friday, January 5.

The Coliseum certainly has its ties to the legacy of MLW as the venue last hosted the promotion all the way back in August 2003. 

On the MLW website, the company gave further information on the history behind the Coliseum, noting that it’s been around since 1924.

Since the pandemic, MLW has greatly made Philadelpha its unofficial residence as they’ve hosted several of their live events at the 2300 Arena, originally the ECW Arena, on the corner of Swanson & Ritner. 

However, the company has begun to venture out once more, most notably hitting an old haunt, The Melrose Ballroom in Queens, NY. MLW CEO Court Bauer and his crew also have added Chicago back on its list, making their return to Cicero Stadium in the Windy City.

2024 should be an intriguing year for Major League Wrestling as it just lost one of its primary stars in Alex Hammerstone to free agency. In the same turn, there have been some high-profile returns for the company. Matt Riddle, Tom Lawlor, Richard Holliday, Salina de la Renta and the promotion’s first-ever World Champion, Satoshi Kojima have all resurfaced as of recent.
