From MLW:
Ikuro Kwon of CONTRA UNIT added to Battle RIOT VI in Atlanta, June 1

Dispatched from CONTRA’s Asian post, not much is known about Ikuro Kwon’s background beyond what the propaganda CONTRA Unit has released to the public.
Reportedly, Kwon is a pit fighter who fought in the slums of Korea and tar pits of India. So sadistic that has burned men’s eyes with coals, CONTRA’s assassin fights with no honor.
Emerging in the criminal underworld of Japan where Kwon would become the feared underboss of Akihisa Mera, this mysterious soldier has blinded many with a peculiar and potent toxic mist.
A force to reckon with, Ikuro Kwon will not rest until his mission is accomplished and CONTRA rules the world… and the next target is the Battle RIOT.
WHAT IS THE BATTLE RIOT?
A mash-up of a battle Royale and anything goes street fight, this super-sized main event will feature 40 wrestlers with new participants entering the ring every 60 seconds.There will be surprises! There will be legends! There will be surprise entriants… 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!
