The Major League Wrestling Arena

[Vegas]

My LOW fed Major League Wrestling (MLW) has a new arena being built in downtown Las Vegas where they are going to have all their episodes of RAW, Smackdown, Minor League Wrestling, and PPVs.

The name of this arena is called The Major League Wrestling Arena and was originally scheduled to open in October but is now set to open for my fed's Summer Slam PPV on August 17th because construction has gone much quicker than expected.

These are some of the guest-friendly features of the Major League Wrestling Arena:

Parking: All parking for Major League Wrestling events is free. To access your free parking, park in the adjoining The Major League Wrestling Parking Garage and have a member of The Major League Wrestling Arena's staff validate your ticket.

Tickets: There are two seating levels (lower and upper) in The Major League Wrestling Arena. All tickets in the lower level and higher level ("the bleacher creatures") are $25 and $15 respectively for episodes of RAW, Smackdown, and Minor League Wrestling and $75 and $50 respectively for each PPV except Wrestlemania for which all tickets are $200 and $100 respectively. Fans attending PPVs get a 20% discount on all Major League Wrestling merchandise.

In addition, fans can also buy season tickets that includes a 1 year lower level seating access to every episode of RAW, Smackdown, Minor League Wrestling, and all PPVs including Wrestlemania and the 4 day annual Sammartino Invitational for only $3,500.

Gambling: Sports books will be located throughout The Major League Wrestling Arena where fans can bet on the matches. Parlay bets will also be accepted. But once the bell sounds to signal the start of a match, no more action on that match will be accepted.

In addition, Major League Wrestling has reached an agreement with the casinos in the surrounding downtown Fremont Street area by which fans 21 years and older (must show valid ID) who purchase lower level seats will receive a card with $10 credit on it they can insert into any of the area's slot machines. The way the cards are programmed is that they can't be cashed out until they've at least had $10 wagered on them, but what other wrestling promotion allows adults in attendance to get some of their ticket money back and possibly even make a profit in the process?

Food and Drink: All beer at all regular concession stands in the Major League Wrestling Arena costs $1. In addition to the typical concession stands, The Major League Wrestling Arena also has stands for the following fast food restaurants: Tommy's, In N Out Burger, Sonic, and Del Taco.

In addition, The Major League Wrestling Arena also has the following restaurants open before, during, after, and even on non-wrestling event days: ESPN Zone (making this the 2nd location in Las Vegas as there is also one at New York New York on The Strip), Gardunos, and the first-ever full-scale Sin City Brewing Company brewery and restaurant.

More features of The Major League Wrestling Arena may be announced later.

SV...great concept and a fun read!

Very cool write-up, never thought to do anything like that for my fed (as far as having a specific 'arena' goes). Though I will say that I was kinda shocked, because when I clicked this I thought it was going to be something about the old indy fed MLW.

If the new arena lasts for another 115 years, Travis' GWF may make a stop there.


With your permission of course.

Very cool...I'm loving the dining options. Not to mention sportsbooks that accept wrestling wagers.

Is there an ESPN Zone at New York New York? Then again I only made it as far as Coyote Ugly so really didnt explore the rest of the place. Either way this is a very cool write up V.

Yeah, there is an ESPN Zone in New York New York. It's in the lower level right next to the casino's sports book.

ESPN Zone is pretty good. So far I've been to two of them- the one here in Las Vegas and the one in Anaheim at Downtown Disney when I took my little cousin to Disneyland and California Adventures last year. I'm going to Denver for a few days next week so maybe I'll go to the ESPN Zone there too.

Thanks everyone for the cool feedback about the new arena for my LOW fed. To help showcase the arena when it opens for my Summer Slam PPV next month, I'm going to have a falls count anywhere match as part of my Summer Slam PPV- I'll probably announce that match and its particpants on my Smackdown show later this week.

Yeah, that's cool. Although The Major League Wrestling Arena would undoubtedly probably have to be upgraded/remodeled a little during that time, hopefully it lasts another 115 years. ;D

Yeah, although I don't know if they ever had their own building, there actually once was a real wrestling fed called Major League Wrestling. I once looked at a website that had a little historical information about the fed and they had some really good wrestlers on their roster- including the WWE's current World Champion C.M. Punk!

LOW's Steve "Dr. Death" Williams once wrestled there too and even mentioned it a little in his recent book. In his book, Williams describes Major league Wrestling as "about fighting and wrestling and not sports entertainment" (although I personally like to mix in some sports entertainment in my fed too) and mentions how at a MLW PPV in September of 2003 called MLW's War Games he teamed up with Terry Funk, Sabu, and the Sandman as the "Funkin Army" to defeat the Extreme Horsemen led by Steve Corino.

But when I started my LOW fed back in early 2006 and called it Major League Wrestling, I honestly at that time had no idea about the former real fed called Major League Wrestling. Instead, because I'm a really big baseball fan, I came up with the name Major League Wrestling as a derivative of Major League Baseball. But even though I found out later that the name had been used elsewhere first, I really like the name of my fed and after 2 1/2 years of using it I'm going to keep using it.
