Major League Wrestling today announced Ross Von Erich as a participant in the 40-wrestler Battle Riot as MLW returns to New York City’s Melrose Ballroom on June 23, featuring an MLW Fusion TV taping.
Limited tickets are available at www.MLWNYC.com and on Eventbrite.
The elder brother of the former world championship Von Erich tag team, Ross is the grounded, strategist, always gaming out scenarios for each and every fight. But how does the newest entrant map out a fight strategy with so many variables in the 40-wrestler extravaganza?
Ever the calculated and cerebral grappler, Ross “Shogun” Von Erich is training alongside his brother in Hawaii under the tutelage of their father, Kevin Von Erich, as the “Sons of Thunder” look to rock 38 other participants and embrace their “Von Erichs vs. everyone” wild, southern brawling mentality.
What happens if it comes down to Ross and his brother Marshall? It could happen! This is the most unpredictable match in the sport!
Find out LIVE in New York City on June 23 at MLW Battle Riot IV!
Who will outlast, outfight and out riot 39 other wrestlers and earn a title shot against the World Champion? Find out June 23 in the Big Apple at the Melrose Ballroom.

There will be surprises! There will be legends! There will be WTF entries… and there will be no disqualifications!
Elimination is by pinfall, submission or by throwing an individual over the top rope.
Anything is possible in a Battle Riot!
