Stairway to Hell match added to MLW SuperFight

A grudge match is the latest addition to the card for MLW’s SuperFight tapings.

MLW has announced that Jacob Fatu and Mads Krugger will face off in a Stairway to Hell match at SuperFight on Saturday, February 26. It’s being advertised as part of a double main event for the tapings.

The other main event for SuperFight is Alex Hammerstone defending his MLW World Heavyweight Championship against Davey Richards.

MLW wrote about the Stairway to Hell stipulation:

2 weapons will hang high above the ring as two monsters of the mat vow to maim each other as CONTRA’s civil war hits Charlotte. Both combatants will wage war as they attempt to climb the ladder and grab either weapon and unleash hell on their adversary.

Each combatant has submitted their weapon of choice for the Stairway to Hell match.

The 7-foot masked mercenary has selected a Baklei war club. The club, a resourceful instrument of pain, was acquired by Krugger during his stint competing in illegal Baklei prize fights in the South African underworld.

A Maliliu Cane has been selected by Jacob Fatu as his weapon, which will be placed above the ring along with Krugger’s prior to the start of their colossal clash. Reportedly, a Maliliu Cane is a spiky, long bamboo stick, which has evolved into a dangerous street weapon wrapped in razor wire.

Contra Unit imploded when Fatu and Krugger got into a brawl after losing last November’s War Chamber match to Hammerstone, Richard Holliday, EJ Nduka, Savio Vega & Jeff Cobb. Krugger blamed Fatu for Contra’s loss.

Fatu and Krugger also faced each other at January’s Blood & Thunder tapings.

The SuperFight tapings are being held at the Grady Cole Center in Charlotte, North Carolina. Pro wrestling legend Ricky Steamboat will be appearing at the tapings and — in storyline — is the matchmaker for the show.

Alex Kane will also defend his MLW National Openweight Championship in a fatal four-way match against Calvin Tankman, Matt Cross, and ACH at SuperFight.
