MLW Hires ‘Lucha Underground’ Creator Chris DeJoseph as Executive Producer
Major League Wrestling has hired Chris DeJoseph as a co-Executive Producer, Sports Illustrated has learned.
DeJoseph, the former Executive Producer and co-creator of Lucha Underground, which ran from 2014 to 2018, has worked in pro wrestling for the past 17 years, including six years writing for WWE.
“Since the last season of Lucha Underground, I’ve had an itch to get back in the game,” DeJoseph said from his home in Los Angeles. “I’ve been watching what they’ve been doing and the steps they are taking to keep building, and I can’t wait to get my hands dirty with MLW.”
The hire was confirmed by MLW CEO Court Bauer, who noted that DeJoseph’s first day on the job will be at the Saturday Super Fight pay-per-view.
