“Don Gato was reluctant to enter the ring after the injuries he sustained spear fishing in Cambodia this summer,” said Danny McBride. “But through my charm and constant nagging, I was able to get him on board. You’re welcome, Charleston. I am beyond psyched that he will bring his tequila and cool times to the MLW event here in the Holy City.”

“Thanks to Danny McBride for going the extra mile — turns out Don Gato Tequila is a hell of a negotiator.” said Court Bauer, Owner of Major League Wrestling.” MLW and Don Gato Tequila are the ultimate super team-up, and Charleston—with its deep roots in wrestling—is where our story in the South takes hold. We’re bringing a stacked card, a who’s who of wrestling, and the absolute best tequila in the game. And trust me—this is just the beginning for MLW in the Holy City.”
