Charleston, SC — Major League Wrestling® (MLW®) will return home to Charleston, South Carolina with a historic super card on Sunday, April 12, from Festival Hall in the heart of downtown Charleston, South Carolina.
The event marks MLW’s first major hometown showcase since relocating its headquarters to the Holy City and will feature a landmark collaboration between three of the world’s most respected wrestling organizations as MLW & NJPW Presents CMLL FANTASTICA MANIA USA 2026, fueled by Danny McBride’s Don Gato Tequila, comes to the Lowcountry.
“As the owner of Major League Wrestling, it matters to me that our hometown always gets the very best this sport has to offer,” said Court Bauer. “Charleston welcomed MLW home, and now it’s only right that we make history here. We’re proud to partner with New Japan Pro-Wrestling and CMLL to bring Fantastica Mania to the Holy City. I want to thank Mr. Naoki Sugabayashi, Mr. Salvador Lutteroth Lomelí, and Mr. Hiroshi Tanahashi for collaborating with us to make this event possible. I also want to thank Danny McBride for tracking down the great luchador Don Gato and convincing him to join us instead of teaching his pet jaguar how to roar in Spanish. Three of the world’s great organizations will converge in Charleston, and Festival Hall is going to feel it while sipping world championship tequila.”
MLW & NJPW Presents CMLL FANTASTICA MANIA USA 2026 will bring together elite fighters from the United States, Japan, and Mexico for one unforgettable night of competition, championship stakes, and cultural crossover, all set against the backdrop of downtown Charleston.
