Your MLK Day Weekend Guide to Local Pro Wrestling
Check out all the action for Jan. 16-18
Good morning,
MLK Day Weekend brings a busy stretch of live pro wrestling across the region, with indie promotions running shows in New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. The weekend coincides with the holiday honoring the life and legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., whose work and sacrifice continue to shape the country well beyond wrestling or sports. With the holiday on the calendar, fans have a full slate of shows to choose from across Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
I’ve written detailed previews for four of this weekend’s shows, events from 1CW, EWA, CZW, and ACW. Those previews, along with ticket information, are linked directly in the list below to make planning a little easier.
Whether you already have plans or are still deciding where to spend the weekend, the rundown that follows puts everything in one place, with links to help sort out times, locations, and details.
This is Card Subject to Change, your MLK Day Weekend pro wrestling preview from DMV Wrestling News.
For readers who keep tabs on shows beyond the region, independent wrestling veteran Phil Stamper maintains a regularly updated national and international calendar, available here.
Thank you for reading and supporting DMV Wrestling News every week.
