Charleston, SC – Actor Danny McBride is set to bring excitement to Charleston this fall as his tequila brand, Don Gato Tequila, teams up with Major League Wrestling (MLW) to host a wrestling event titled ‘Lucha de los Muertos’. This highly anticipated event will take place on Thursday, November 20th at the Charleston Music Hall, marking MLW’s first show in the city.
The decision to host the event comes after a brief hesitation from McBride and his team at Don Gato, primarily due to his recent injuries sustained while spear fishing in Cambodia over the summer. Nevertheless, McBride used his persistence and charm to secure Don Gato’s involvement in hosting the event, emphasizing its significance to the local community.
MLW Owner Court Bauer acknowledged the importance of the collaboration, praising McBride’s negotiation skills and expressing confidence that the event would enrich Charleston’s wrestling culture. MLW has lined up an impressive roster for the event, featuring several notable wrestlers, including the MLW World Champion Matt Riddle, Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actor Paul Walter Hauser, who will be serving as executive producer and competing, as well as former WWE stars like Shotzi Blackheart, Mistico, and Donovan Dijak.

The show will be broadcast live on beIN SPORTS and streamed on MLW’s YouTube channel, making it accessible to a wider audience beyond Charleston. McBride, who has lived in Charleston for eight years, has made significant contributions to the local film industry and is enthusiastic about hosting this event in his hometown.
Don Gato Tequila draws its inspiration from an undefeated luchador and focuses on premium tequila made from 100% Blue Weber agave sourced from Jalisco, Mexico. This affinity for wrestling is reflected in the brand’s commitment to quality and tradition, paralleling the athleticism and excitement that MLW brings to the ring.
The ‘Lucha de los Muertos’ event is expected to feature a stacked wrestling card, with many competitors looking to make their mark in the squared circle.
