NEW JAPAN NOT SELLING OUT IN CALI, MLW SUPERFIGHT, AJ LEE AS PART OF EVOLUTION? AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2018-10-05 10:00:00

I loved Fighting Spirit Unleashed, but kind of bummed that the Walter Pyramid did not sell out for this event. I'm sure there was a lot of culprits such as being in the same state all the time, them releasing a card the same week. I think NJPW should rethink on how to do their American expansion.  Thoughts?

I honestly think it's just that New Japan has come there too often of late and it's not long a special moment or spectacle.  Sure, the wrestling is awesome, but if you don't tell the audience what to expect with enough lead time to get them interested enough to buy tickets, there's going to be a dropoff in fans wanting to go.  

Seriously, why hasn't CM Punk returned to WWE yet?

My guess is there is a a lot of bad blood that needs to be negated before that conversation can begin.

Any chance to AJ Lee being part of WWE Evolution?

I don't think there's a real chance of that happening unless things clear up between her husband and WWE.   It just places her in a bad place personally.

I was at last night's MLW TV taping and they kept mentioning a Superfight event but didn't say where it is.  Is it in NYC?

We are told the show will most likely not be in NYC but they haven't signed a deal with the venue on the planned location yet.  So, stay tuned.

How old is this Marko Stunt kid?  No way he is over the age of 15.

We are told he is in his early 20s.
