Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat to appear at MLW SuperFight
An all-time great will be in attendance when MLW comes to Charlotte, North Carolina later this month.
MLW has announced that pro wrestling legend Ricky “The Dragon” Steamboat will be appearing at their SuperFight tapings in Charlotte on Saturday, February 26. The tapings are being held at the Grady Cole Center.
“Major League Wrestling today announced Ricky ‘The Dragon’ Steamboat is coming to MLW SuperFight hosted by the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte on Saturday February 26, featuring an MLW Fusion TV taping,” MLW wrote.
“The legend returns to the hallowed grounds of the Grady Cole Center where ‘The Dragon’ emerged as a main eventer and forever became a part of Charlotte’s rich wrestling history.”
In storyline, Steamboat will be the matchmaker for the SuperFight tapings. MLW questioned how authority figure Cesar Duran will react to Steamboat’s presence.
Steamboat will also be available for autograph and photo opportunities before the SuperFight show starts.
The SuperFight tapings will be headlined by Alex Hammerstone putting his MLW World Heavyweight Championship on the line against Davey RIchards. Richards was the winner of last year’s MLW Opera Cup tournament.
