A clash between 2 second-generation Luchadores will take place next Saturday when MLW returns to Dallas/Fort Worth for a stacked card and TV taping. Major League Wrestling today announced Septimo Dragon (cornered by Konnan) vs. Gino “El Intocable” Medina for MLW: Zero Hour at the NYTEX Sports Centre in the greater Dallas/Ft. Worth area on Saturday, January 11. The event will be a MLW FUSION TV taping for beIN SPORTS.
Following a falling out with Konnan (which will air on FUSION), Medina and the Hall of Fame Luchador have been quarrelling. Heralded as a once in a generation megastar in the making, Medina is a franchise player – but Konnan has cautioned him about making the right choices in his career only for the Untouchable One to turn his back on Konnan. Now Gino “El Intocable” Medina will meet a thrilling Tecnico Luchador in Séptimo Dragon.
Meaning the “Seventh Dragon,” Séptimo Dragon has been featured in top Mexican organizations and has been labelled by the Mexican media as an emerging star. Nicknamed “Rey del Aire,” meaning the King of the Air, Dragon is a spectacular aerial athlete. Using moves such as the Corkscrew Plancha and Moonsault Bodyblock Suicida to overwhelm adversaries, Dragon moves at supersonic speed to blitz opponents.
