MLW Reschedules Live Chicago Event For June 2021

May 4, 2020

MLW was all set to take over the Windy City of Chicago once more this coming June, but the COVID-19 pandemic has understandably put a halt on mass gathering activities and Major League Wrestling is reacting accordingly.

The company sent out a press release announcing that it will reschedule it’s planned Chicago tour for June of 2021 instead of this year. The show at Cicero Stadium was going to be MLW’s Intimidation Games event which originally included the return of Colonel Robert Parker, but Chi-Town is going to have to wait to experience the live action until next year. The company also stated the plans to reschedule other events once those decisions are made in the coming weeks. MLW’s announcement is below:

MLW JUNE CHICAGO EVENT RESCHEDULED FOR JUNE 2021
Due to COVID-19 pandemic, MLW moves upcoming event

CHICAGO — Major League Wrestling has moved its June 12 event in Chicago at Cicero Stadium to Saturday June 5, 2021.

All tickets purchased for the originally scheduled date will be honored at this time.

League officials continue to monitor the on-going coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic and under the advisement of medical experts and public health officials elected to reschedule MLW’s Chicago event for 2021.

The status to delay additional events will be decided in the weeks ahead.

The league remains focused on a return after suspending promoting live events, however is proceeding with an abundance of caution.

At the appropriate time, the league will communicate plans for promoting live events outside of the temporary hiatus and update the status of league events.

The MLW family would like to extend our appreciation and well wishes to all doctors, nurses, emergency services staff, first responders, medical professionals, essential services staff and all others on the front line working to address the public health crisis in our nation and around the world.
