Two Coffeys are better than one.
Yesterday, MLW announced that Mark Coffey was joining Battle Riot. Today, they announced that his brother Joe is as well.
MLW Battle RIOT VIII takes place on Thursday, January 29 at the Osceola Heritage Park Events Center in Kissimmee, FL.
Tickets start at $10 as part of MLW’s fan Appreciation Night at http://www.MLWLive.com and Ticketmaster.
“Hailing from Glasgow, Scotland, Coffey arrives with a reputation built on brute strength, relentless pressure, and an uncompromising fighting spirit. Known as a punishing heavyweight who thrives on physical dominance, Coffey brings a smash-mouth style defined by heavy strikes, raw power, and an unshakable belief in imposing his will on anyone standing across the ring. And Joe won’t be alone… Coffey joins his brother Mark Coffey, who is also making his MLW debut by entering the Battle RIOT. And that possibility alone has the locker room buzzing. If fate – and the entry numbers align – and the Coffey brothers find themselves in the RIOT at the same time, the balance of power could shift instantly. A built-in numbers advantage inside a match this unpredictable could spark a rapid run of eliminations and open a dangerous pathway to winning it all,” stated MLW.
In Battle Riot, two competitors begin the match. Every 60 seconds, another wrestler enters. Eliminations come by pinfall, submission, or being thrown over the top rope with both feet hitting the floor. There are no disqualifications — meaning weapons, alliances, and bedlam are all fair game.
