Update on GFW Promoting The NJPW WrestleKingdom Show on US PPV

 Global Force Wrestling’s first ever event will be producing New Japan Pro Wrestling’s WrestleKingdom event on traditional US PPV. The show takes place on January 4th, and is being listed by PPV providers as, GFW Presents New Japan’s WrestleKingdom. At this time, the plan is to show the PPV live (likely around 3AM ET), and then air it later that day in the traditional Sunday night PPV time slot.

Opinionated View- This just doesn't seem like a good idea. Global Force should be worried getting a roster, a TV deal, not another companies US PPV debut. And speaking of not having a TV deal how are you going to promote this in the US? Compare this to TNA's  Bound for Glory. Yes the show will air on tape delay but TNA has a weekly TV deal with ads for the PPV, the BFG card will feaure guys like Team 3D and James Storm who are on TV every week and guys like Muta, Sanada, and Tajiri have appeared on TV.  New Japan has talent US fans might know but with no TV deal who are more causal fans going to find out?
