Pro wrestling has attracted its fair share of unexpected celebrity appearances over the years, with the likes of Seth Green, Jon Stewart, and David Arquette shocking fans with their appearances.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter<\/a>, Danny McBride, star of films such as “Pineapple Express,” “Alien: Covenant,” and “The Foot Fist Way,” as well as television shows like “The Righteous Gemstones” and “Vice Principals,” will be joining those ranks as a recurring character on MLW. The promotion shot footage at a recent taping in Arena Coliseo in Mexico City. MLW founder Court Bauer was involved in McBride’s show, “Eastbound & Down,” which led the two to collaborate.<\/p>\n

Alongside longtime collaborator Steve Little, McBride has been appearing with a mysterious masked luchador known simply as Don Gato. So far, their appearances have chronicled the legend of Don Gato, who is a tequila-loving luchador, named for McBride’s tequila brand. McBride, who is a North Carolina wrestling fan, and the producers of “Eastbound & Down” had been very open about basing Will Ferrell’s Ashley Schaffer character on WWE Hall of Famer “Nature Boy” Ric Flair during the show’s run from 2009-2013.<\/p>\n

The inclusion of McBride on MLW television comes into play alongside the news that they’ve recently secured a streaming deal with Tubi\u00a0to air their recently revitalized “MLW Fusion” weekly show, every Thursday night.<\/a>\u00a0<\/p>\n

MLW also has Oscar nominee Paul Walter Hauser, who wrestles on the independent scene when not starring in movies like “Richard Jewell” and “The Naked Gun.”<\/p>\n
