Major League Wrestling today announced Calvin Tankman as a participant in the 40-wrestler Battle Riot as MLW returns to New York City’s Melrose Ballroom on June 23, featuring an MLW Fusion TV taping.
Grab your tickets at www.MLWNYC.com and on Eventbrite.
One-half of the World Tag Team Championship duo of Hustle & Power promises to rampage through the fourth Battle Riot and win it by any means.
Blending speed, power and a low center of gravity with uncanny endurance, Tankman will be a challenge for anyone to eliminate in the Battle Riot.
Determined to steamroll over the Bomaye Fight Club and anyone that stands in his way of pursuing becoming a double champion, Tankman is one to watch in this year’s Riot.
But in order to do the unthinkable and be a double champ one day, the “Heavyweight Hustle” will need to outlast, outsmart and outfight 39 others and win the Battle Riot to secure a title shot anytime, anywhere against the World Heavyweight Champion.
Will Tankman be the last man standing as a heap of 39 other wrestlers stand on the outside looking in at Calvin Tankman victorious? Find out LIVE in New York City on June 23 at MLW Battle Riot IV!
Who will outlast, outfight and out riot 39 other wrestlers and earn a title shot against the World Champion? Find out June 23 in the Big Apple at the Melrose Ballroom!.

There will be surprises! There will be legends! There will be WTF entries… and there will be no disqualifications!
Elimination is by pinfall, submission or by throwing an individual over the top rope.
Anything is possible in a Battle Riot!
WHAT DOES THE WINNER GET?
The winner gets a World Heavyweight Title Shot anywhere, anytime! It could be that night; it could be in 6 months. The challenger has the key to unlock an instant title shot against whoever the champion is!
