MLW makes Dallas debut next Saturday night with FUSION TV taping

What happens when arguably the best scientific pro wrestlers in the world
faces a No Gi jiujitsu World Champion and undefeated kickboxer? Fight fans will find out in Dallas next Saturday night when Timothy Thatcher fights Douglas James.

MLW today announced Timothy Thatcher vs. Douglas James at MLW: War Chamber at the NYTEX Sports Centre in the greater Dallas/Ft. Worth area on September 7. The event will be a MLW FUSION TV taping for beIN SPORTS.

Tickets start at $10 at http://www.MLWTickets.com.

A former No Gi jiujitsu World Champion trained by the founder of 10th
Planet Jiu Jitsu, Eddie Bravo, Douglas James is one of the top prospects on
the California pro wrestling circuit, recently signing with MLW.

With a total of 15 mixed martial arts fights between both amateur and professional, Douglas James mixes an array of strikes, grappling, high
flying and submission wrestling to an ever-growing arsenal.

While experienced in the MMA cage and kickboxing ring, Douglas James will
be in deep waters against an opponent with a world of experience. Literally.

A top ranked globetrotting grappler, Thatcher most recently honed his
skills in the United Kingdom and Germany. This submission artist has one of
the most effective armbars in the sport including a lethal cross armbar and Fujiwara armbar.  Complimenting these joint crippling submissions Thatcher
is often known to crumple opponents with his brilliant backdrop driver.

Styles make fights, said MLW CEO and founder Court Bauer. This one could be explosive if they elect to stand but what happens when a world class
grappler goes to the mat with a World Champion No Gi BJJ guy?

Natalya Describes How Grateful She Is For WWE NXT

Posted: 26 Aug 2019 07:43 AM PDT https://www.prowrestling.com/natalya-describes-how-grateful-she-is-for-wwe-nxt/


WWE Superstar, Natalya, penned her recent column in the Calgary Sun where
she discussed how much WWE NXT impacted her career.

Grateful is the one word I would use to describe my feelings for NXT, wrote Nattie. I’m grateful in so many ways because, without NXT, I may never have gotten the opportunity I needed to show the world what I was capable of in
the ring.

Natalya also touched on the black and yellow brand moving to the USA
Network within the column, discussing how big of a deal it is for the brand.

I am also so excited for up and coming talent to experience huge growth performing on a larger stage each week, she wrote. I can’t wait to watch
the storylines unfold and see the men and women of NXT evolve and grow like Johnny Gargano.

Natalya will be competing on WWE Raw this evening in singles action against Sasha Banks.

for the tournament as he has done for every major tournament he has won, sharing clips of his workouts.

Gable went on to claim it is a shame people are making short jokes about
him, but he added that it is helping to make the tournament mean a lot more than simply just breaking out.

Chad Gable will compete in his First Round match of the tournament this
Tuesday on WWE SmackDown Live against his former tag team partner, Shelton Benjamin.

Training for this tournament like I trained for every important tournament I’ve ever won.

Still shocked we’ve got guys resorting to short jokes, but it’s helping make this tournament mean a LOT more than just a chance to break out. See
you Tuesday. #KingOfTheRing#KingGable pic.twitter.com/1sHTOTCpOi
