Major League Wrestling (MLW) today announced Chris Dickinson will make his MLW debut at MLW: Intimidation Games Saturday, April 18 at Cicero Stadium in Chicago. The event will be a MLW FUSION TV taping for beIN SPORTS.
Chris Dickinson is tough as nails. A Staten Island roughneck known for crushing wrestlers on their heads with a variety of suplexes, Dickinson talks a big game and backs it up in the ring. A powerhouse wrestler, Dickinson is a tank in the ring known for taking his opponent’s best yet continuing to march forward and unleash destruction.
Bullying adversaries by imposing his strength, Dickinson is a challenge to many for his ability to quickly transition from power moves to technical wrestling only to overwhelm an opponent with a blitz of brawling. A hybrid wrestler of sorts, Dickinson is the master of the Pazuzu Bomb – a spectacular version of the Awesome Bomb into the turnbuckles.
Promising a “one man chi-town rumble” on April 18, the punishing powerhouse Chris Dickinson now sets his sights on Major League Wrestling.
An exciting new era in women’s wrestling in Ring of Honor is imminent. To emphasize ROH’s commitment to women’s wrestling, a new Ring of Honor Women’s World Championship has been created. This title will replace the Women of Honor Title and carry the utmost prestige as only the best competitors will earn its gold.
The tournament to crown the inaugural champion begins with eight first-round matches at “Quest For Gold” on Friday, April 24 at Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena. The tournament will feature talent from all over the world, including some new faces who have never competed in ROH. The current ROH female roster reunites Amy Rose, Angelina Love, Gabby Ortiz, Jenny Rose, Mandy Leon, Maria Manic, Stella Grey, Sumie Sakai, Session Moth Martina and Velvet Sky.
The first women’s match in ROH history took place in 2002, the company’s first year in existence. In the ensuing years, some of the best women’s wrestlers in the sport competed in an ROH ring, including Sara Del Rey, Mickie James, Amazing Kong, Mercedes Martinez, MsChif, Cheerleader Melissa and Daizee Haze, who all paved the way for the current generation of female talent in ROH. The ROH Women’s World Championship will take women’s wrestling in ROH to the highest level.
