Paul Wight may have been considered The Largest Athlete In The World in WWE but MLW has looked at the opposite end of the scale, signing the smallest wrestler in the world!
Major Leauge Wrestling has announced the signing of 23-year-old Mexican wrestler, Microman to the company. Microman has wrestled for several years in his native Mexico, competing mainly for CMLL.
Standing at a height of just one metre tall – or 3ft 2 inches – if you prefer, Microman is considered to be the smallest wrestler competing in the world today. His billed height of one metre is even 10cm smaller than former WWE Superstar and luchador, Max Mini.
MLW released the following statement regarding the signing of Microman to a muilt-year deal with the promotion:
Major League Wrestling (MLW) today announced the signing of Microman to a multi-year deal.
Microman thrilled and amazed fans with his MLW debut on FUSION this past week (watch) as he defied the odds, physics, and the enormity of his opponents to impress and win the match and the heart of fans around the world.
“Not since the days of Andre the Giant has there been someone so special that they bring pure wonderment and joy like you experience when Microman competes,” said MLW CEO Court Bauer. “Inch for inch, Microman may just be the greatest wrestler the world has ever seen and I’m excited to share this one of a kind inspiring athlete with the world.”
MLW’s statement continues:
Standing just one meter in height, Microman is a mini luchador.
Microman comes to MLW after taking Mexico by storm where he appeared in car commercials for the McLaren 570S Coupe sports car as well as competing for some of Mexico’s top lucha organizations, Microman now makes the leap to Major League Wrestling.
“The world’s greatest wonder,” Microman is the smallest wrestler in the world.
