MLW Fightland will take place October 2nd from Philadelphia’s 2300 Arena. On October 7th, the event will air as a 1-hour special at 10 PM following a new episode of Dark Side of the Ring that will air at 9 PM.
“’MLW Fightland’ on Vice TV blows up the tired, old wrestling format. Everyone has played it safe in presenting wrestling the same way for 25 years,” Court Bauer said to theWrap. “‘MLW Fightland’ offers viewers a transparent, unfiltered all access look into the smoke-filled arenas of wrestling. We will present big fights and big stories with investigative reports giving viewers a raw, inside look at the very real world of wrestling.”
