NJPW Cancels Upcoming PPV Due To Earthquakes

The earthquakes in Kumamoto, Japan have led New Japan Pro Wrestling to cancel their upcoming 4/29 PPV “Wrestling Hirokuni.” So far the earthquakes have left 42 people dead and over 1,000 more injured. The show was set to be headlined by a special CHAOS-Los Ingobernables eight-man tag match as well as Kenny Omega defending the IWGP Intercontinental Championship against Michael Elgin. More updates regarding the card will be released tomorrow.

Shinsuke Nakamura Referenced On MLB Network

Yesterday afternoon on the MLB Network one of the announcers called Mike Moustakas of the Kansas City Royals the “King of Long Style.” He later referred to Jayson Werth as the “Rated R Superstar.”
