Major League Wrestling announced a new series titled MLW Anthology is coming to beIN SPORTS this spring.
MLW Anthology will “spotlight the biggest rivalries, iconic athletes and championship classics spanning the history of MLW dating back to 2002.”
According to a press release, the show will give fans unprecedented access to the wrestling league, and it was previously planned for a 2021 premiere. MLW Anthology will feature never before seen footage including recently discovered lost footage from 2002-04 as well as supplemental content.
“This is a project we had planned for further down the road but we wanted to surprise fans with some fun and joy during this challenging period,” said MLW CEO and Creator Court Bauer.
MLW Anthology premieres Saturday night May 16 in conjunction with MLW Fusion.
