MLW LAUNCHES NEW WEEKLY TELEVISION SERIES "MLW UNDERGROUND"

(NEW YORK) - March 25, 2003 - Major League Wrestling, Inc. ("MLW") and the Sunshine Network have reached an agreement for the weekly television series MLW Underground(SM) which will begin airing in the network's Monday night time period (11:00PM-12:00AM, ET/PT) with replays through out the week starting April 7th, it was announced today by Court Bauer, owner of MLW.

The Sunshine Network currently reaches several million homes throughout the state of Florida and nationwide via satellite including on DirecTV and the Dish Network.

Bauer adds: "In the last two years there has been a critical void left by the demise of ECW and acquisition of WCW. However, beginning Monday, April 7th, this will change as MLW brings fans the most violent, hard-hitting action mixed with cutting edge storylines creating a counter culture attitude that only MLW can deliver to its rabid fans."

MLW Underground(SM) also marks the return to the broadcast booth by the noted former ECW commentator Joey Styles. "Since ECW went bankrupt in early 2001, there has not been a hard-hitting and edgy professional wrestling product on television. For whatever reason, even approaching WrestleMania, fans are tuning out WWE in droves. MLW hopes to be the alternative those dissatisfied and disenfranchised fans are looking for. Short on soap-opera storylines and long on real in-ring action, Major League Wrestling will demonstrate the difference between "professional wrestling" and "sports entertainment" I am very excited about calling the action for MLW," states Styles.

Over the course of its existence, Major League Wrestling has developed an intense following with an innovative combination of wrestling and mixed martial arts styles called "Hybrid Wrestling" including: hardcore wrestling, traditional wrestling, Japanese "Puroresu" Strong Style, Lucha Libre, Shoot Wrestling, and more. MLW is the most graphic, destructive and real version of professional wrestling you will ever view. 

Starting April 7th, witness the evolution of MLW's brand of Hybrid Wrestling on a weekly basis with MLW Underground(SM).

MLW also can be seen on Japan's Gaora sports cable network with its frequent 2-hour specials.
