Major League Wrestling teams with Danny McBride & Don Gato Tequila for show in Charleston

CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - Actor Danny McBride, who recently wrapped up his HBO show ‘The Righteous Gemstones’ filmed in the Lowcountry, is teaming up with Major League Wrestling for a show at the Charleston Music Hall this fall.

McBride’s Don Gato Tequila will host Lucha de los Muertos with MLW on Thursday, November 20th.

“Don Gato was reluctant to enter the ring after the injuries he sustained spear fishing in Cambodia this summer,” McBride said in a statement through MLW. “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.” Court Bauer, Owner of Major League Wrestling. said in the statement ”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.”

Emmy and Golden Globe winning actor Paul Walter Hauser, who starred in a pair of big movies this summer including The Naked Gun and The Fantastic Four, was named executive producer of MLW earlier this year and is scheduled to compete in the event in Charleston.

Also scheduled to compete are MLW World Champion Matt Riddle and former WWE stars Shotzi Blackheart, Mistico and Donovan Dijak among others.

Tickets start at $15 and go on sale Tuesday, August 19 at 10 a.m. ET at Ticketmaster and MLWGo.com.
