MLW Moving Headquarters to Charleston, South Carolina
Major League Wrestling (MLW) is officially relocating its headquarters to Charleston, South Carolina. The announcement was made by MLW CEO Court Bauer.
Speaking with Mike Mooneyham of The Post & Courier, Bauer revealed that the move marks a significant shift for the company, which is currently in the process of closing its previous offices in Westchester, New York.
“Charleston isn’t just hosting Major League Wrestling anymore — it’s home. I’m thrilled to officially announce that MLW is moving its league headquarters to Charleston, South Carolina,” Bauer stated.
“Heritage and Momentum”
Bauer explained that the decision was driven by a combination of the city’s rich wrestling history and its thriving business climate.
“Charleston has real wrestling lineage, and it also has one of the strongest, healthiest business sectors in the country right now,” Bauer said. “The city is booming — tech, hospitality, entertainment — everything is on the rise. That kind of ecosystem is exactly what MLW wants to be part of. Combine that with Charleston’s connection to Crockett, WCW and decades of Southern wrestling, and the decision became obvious. This is a city with heritage and momentum — and that’s a rare combination.”
Creating Jobs
The move is expected to have a tangible economic impact on the area. Bauer noted that MLW will be hiring locally as they establish their new base of operations.
“We’re bringing production, creative and live-event jobs to Charleston. We’re proud to join Charleston’s growing entertainment and sports community,” Bauer continued.
He also highlighted the immediate impact of their events on the local economy. “Fans are already coming in from out of state for our MLW x Don Gato Live Wrestling Special on Thursday — staying in local hotels, eating at local restaurants, supporting local businesses. That’s good for Charleston now, and it’s only going to grow from here.”
