The MLW Battle Riot III card just got a lot bigger as the company revealed this morning that Ross and Marshall Von Erich would take on Tom Lawlor and Kevin Ku of Team Filthy in a Bunkhouse Brawl match.
The rivalry between the Von Erichs and Tom Lawlor has been going on for quite some time, and it’s only appropriate that these men settle this two-year rivalry in a Bunkhouse Brawl at Battle Riot III.
The following is a press release from Major League Wrestling regarding the Bunkhouse Brawl at Battle Riot III:
A Bunkhouse Brawl featuring Marshall & Ross Von Erich vs. Team Filthy’s Tom Lawlor & Kevin Ku was announced today by Major League Wrestling for the Battle Riot on Saturday, July 10th in Philadelphia at the 2300 Arena.
Ticket information: The event is sold out.
Since Tom Lawlor betrayed the Von Erichs at the 2019 Fusion on Thanksgiving, the three have been engulfed in a bitter war. Now, the stage is set for what could be the last dance between the Von Erichs and Tom Lawlor, along with his hooligans.
A Bunkhouse Brawl is a stipulation bout with its roots in southern wrestling dating back decades. For years, Bunkhouse Brawls have been the final stage of vicious feuds. Wrestlers can use whatever they want as weapons are legal!
Just make sure to bring your cowboy boots, a durable pair of jeans, and a 6-pack of whoop ass as that’s what it will take to win this wild southern stipulation match.
Will the Von Erichs unleash a reckoning on Tom Lawlor and Kevin Ku? Or will Tom Lawlor finally prove he is better than the two brothers he once called dear friends?
