Five Star Wrestling held a media conference today in Sheffield, Great Britain
announcing a live, weekly series on Freesports TV, a channel listed as available
in 18 million homes in the country.
The first broadcast will be Thursday 2/1 from The Echo Arena in Liverpool, featuring Fiva Star champion John Morrison vs. Rob Van Dam and Rey Mysterio vs. Zack Gibson. The theme of the series appears to be former WWE stars facing UK talents.
Former WWE World champion Jack Swagger was at a press conference today at the Sheffield Arena, announcing he would be taking part in the series.
Free Sports announced back in September 2017 they would be working with Five Star, who last year announced a 128 Man tournament that would run over several months in Great Britain in 2017 following a live special on SpikeTV in the UK. That tournament was later announced as postponed.
Last year, the promotion had released a grandstand offer to former WWE champion CM Punk, claiming it would pay him $1 million to compete in the tournament. Punk, who is under contract to UFC, did not publicly respond to the offer and contractually, couldn't have taken it.
Five Star Wrestling's website lists 11 events for Thursdays, running 2/1 through 5/10.
