Alex Kane is ready for a Thrilla with … someone.
Major League Wrestling announced “The Thrilla in Phila” would take place at its May 13 Kings Of Colosseum event at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. National Openweight Champion Alex Kane will put his title and $20,000 on the line in a prize fight against anyone willing to test themselves against him. According to the rules of the fight, anyone that can last 20 minutes in the ring with Kane will win the money and the title.
From MLW:
Major League Wrestling (MLW®) in conjunction with the Bomaye Fight Club today announced a co-promoted extravaganza prize fight: “The Thrilla in Phila” for Kings of Colosseum ’22 on Friday, May 13 at the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia, featuring an MLW Fusion TV taping.
Grab your tickets at http://www.MLW2300.com and the 2300 Arena box office.
The National Openweight Champion Alex Kane has dominated the competition for half a year as champion and now he is making an offer of a lifetime to any athlete using any fighting style:
“You can be the greatest in the world, the best at your fighting style but if you ain’t got no heart, you won’t survive against me in the THRILLA IN PHILA,” states Kane. “This isn’t some glorified hype, this will be an extravaganza unlike anything fans have ever encountered… but can you last and if you do, you may just end up in the hospital!”
The Bomaye Fight Club is calling on any all all fighting athletes to test their prowess and be taken to the limit in a city that has hosted and celebrated some of boxing and wrestling’s most iconic bouts. With the champ promising to crack his challenger so hard his head looks like Liberty Bell, all medical expenses due to injuries suffered at the hands of Alex Kane will graciously be covered by the Bomaye Fight Club. The Bomaye Fight Club claims media from as far as Asia, Europe, the Middle East and Africa will be on hand to witness Kane’s co-promoted bout with MLW, brokered by Cesar Duran and Kane’s representatives out of Boca Raton.
As far as the identity of the challenger, currently listed as “TBD VICTIM,” well, that’s a matter of who gets their signature on the bout sheet the quickest. Who will step up and dance with destiny and attempt to make history? It’s the THRILLA IN PHILA!
The name of the prize fight likely takes inspiration from the 1975 boxing match between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier that was marketed as “The Thrilla In Manila” but it’s worth noting that this is actually the second Thrilla to take place in Phila(delphia).
“The Thrilla in Phila” was also the name of the twenty-first episode of season two of Boy Meets World, notable since it also marked the first appearance of WWE Hall Of Famer Vader on the show. Vader guest-starred as Frankie Stecchino Sr. in three total episodes of the famed ABC series.
