It was reported yesterday here on eWn (click here to read) that GFW cancelled one of their live events for next weekend’s trio of shows. The first two shows on August 4th & 5th are in the New York area, but the Sunday show was in Bridgeport, CT. Global Force Wrestling released the following statement on the cancellation:
“Global Force Wrestling regretfully announces that the Impact Live Event at the Ballpark at Harbor Yard, scheduled for Sunday afternoon, August 6, has been cancelled due to unforeseen circumstances and logistical challenges. All fans who purchased tickets for the Bridgeport event will be fully refunded. GFW also will offer all who purchased tickets to the Bridgeport show complimentary tickets to either of the other area Live Event shows that will be held that weekend: Friday, August 4, on Long Island, N.Y., at The Sports Arena in St. James (starting at 8 p.m.), and Saturday, August 5, at Staten Island’s Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St. George (starting at 6 p.m.). Please bring the original receipt from the Bridgeport show.”
There was no clear reason as to why they cancelled in the statement, but PWInsider is reporting that it is due to ticket sales not doing well at all. Mike Johnson of PWInsider did note that there was a good amount of promotion for the event and even a major radio station in Connecticut promoted it. But unfortunately, it was not enough to increase sales.
