MLW & NJPW Present CMLL FANTASTICA MANIA USA 2026 in
Charleston April 12
Charleston, SC — Major League Wrestling® (MLW®) will return
home to Charleston, South Carolina with a historic super
card on Sunday, April 12, from Festival Hall in the heart of
downtown Charleston, South Carolina.
The event marks MLW’s first major hometown showcase since
relocating its headquarters to the Holy City and will
feature a landmark collaboration between three of the
world’s most respected wrestling organizations as MLW & NJPW
Presents CMLL FANTASTICA MANIA USA 2026, fueled by Danny
McBride’s Don Gato Tequila, comes to the Lowcountry.
“As the owner of Major League Wrestling, it matters to me
that our hometown always gets the very best this sport has
to offer,” said Court Bauer. “Charleston welcomed MLW home,
and now it’s only right that we make history here. We’re
proud to partner with New Japan Pro-Wrestling and CMLL to
bring Fantastica Mania to the Holy City. I want to thank Mr.
Naoki Sugabayashi, Mr. Salvador Lutteroth Lomelí, and Mr.
Hiroshi Tanahashi for collaborating with us to make this
event possible. I also want to thank Danny McBride for
tracking down the great luchador Don Gato and convincing him
to join us instead of teaching his pet jaguar how to roar in
Spanish. Three of the world’s great organizations will
converge in Charleston, and Festival Hall is going to feel
it while sipping world championship tequila.”
MLW & NJPW Presents CMLL FANTASTICA MANIA USA 2026 will
bring together elite fighters from the United States, Japan,
and Mexico for one unforgettable night of competition,
championship stakes, and cultural crossover, all set against
the backdrop of downtown Charleston.
NJPW Chairman of the Board Naoki Sugabayashi commented on
the historic event, stating, “MLW & NJPW Presents CMLL
FANTASTICA MANIA USA 2026 will be held in Charleston, South
Carolina on Sunday, April 12th. Wrestlers from the United

great show. Please look forward to it!”
