context_page_description: One Shot was a professional wrestling supercard event produced by Major League Wrestling, which took place on October 5, 2017 at the Gilt Nightclub in Orlando, Florida. This was MLW's first event since Reloaded in 2004 thus marking the return of MLW.
  Nine professional wrestling matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Shane Strickland defeated Ricochet. In other prominent matches on the card, MVP defeated Sami Callihan and Tom Lawlor defeated Jeff Cobb.
  Although the event drew a crowd of only 200 people due to taking place in a small arena, it was an instant success as it was well received by critics and audiences throughout the world and due to its access worldwide via MLW.tv service, it led to MLW making its full-time return as a regular promotion as it continued to run more events.
