Paul Walter Hauser issues MMA cage match challenge to Tom Lawlor at MLW Blood & Thunder
Paul Walter Hauser and Tom Lawlor are going to meet inside a steel cage.
After Lawlor defeated Jake Crist in the Opera Cup opening round at MLW Blood and Thunder, the actor-turned-wrestler appeared via video. He challenged Lawlor to a no holds barred MMA cage match where Lawlor’s manager, Mister Saint Laurent, would be barred from ringside. Lawlor said it was on.
At MLW’s Battle Riot event, Hauser eliminated Lawlor from the battle royal, which was ultimately won by Matt Riddle. Later in the month at MLW’s anniversary show, Hauser laid out Saint Laurent following a series of insults, leading to Lawlor attacking Hauser with a steel chair.
The Golden Globe and Emmy award-winning actor made his debut in professional wrestling earlier last fall, defeating Matthew Palmer at a Pro Wrestling Revolver event. He defeated Sami Callihan in a Philadelphia Street Fight at the WrestleCon SuperShow during WrestleMania weekend, and most recently went to a no content with Danhausen.
