So far in 2018, MLW has hosted a 40-person Battle Riot and a 2-ring steel cage War Games match. The promotion has just released plans to bring back the once-famous “Spin The Wheel, Make A Deal” match as well.

Sami Callihan and Jimmy Havoc will spin a giant wheel before their MLW match on October 4th from New York City. Whatever gimmick match the wheel lands on will be the stipulation for their match at MLW’s “Fury Road” event. The show will also serve as a television taping for future episodes of MLW Fusion.


“What kind of match will it be?” MLW’s event page asks. “Nobody will know until that night when a wheel containing 11 different specialty matches will be spun.”

The following gimmick matches will be on the wheel:

  1. Chain Match
  2. Body Bag Match
  3. Coal Miner’s Glove Match
  4. Barbed Wire Match
  5. 1st Blood Match
  6. Prince of Darkness
  7. Spinner’s Choice
  8. Death Match
  9. Cage Match
  10. I Quit Match
  11. Dog Collar Match

The 3rd option of a “Coal Miner’s Glove Match” is what was landed on for the first-ever Spin The Wheel, Make A Deal match between Jake “the Snake” Roberts and Sting. The match took place in WCW at Halloween Havoc 1993. Roberts left the promotion shortly after.
