Bad Luck Fale has been pulled from his upcoming play-in bout.
Originally, Bad Luck Fale was scheduled to compete in a G1 Climax play-in bout against Ryohei Oiwa on the July 4th NJPW Soul show. However, he has now been pulled from the bout.
New Japan Pro Wrestling announced on June 25th that Fale would not be competing in the bout or the remainder of the NJPW Soul tour due to a loss in his family, with Satoshi Kojima being brought in as Fale's replacement on July 4th.
From NJPW:
Thank you for supporting New Japan Pro-Wrestling.
Don Fale, who was scheduled to compete on events through the New Japan Soul series, will miss the remainder of the tour due to a loss in the family.
The following change has been made to the July 4 New Japan Soul card in Tokyo Budokan:
G1 Climax 35 A Block Play-In:
Don Fale vs Ryohei Oiwa-->
Satoshi Kojima vs Ryohei Oiwa
Additional changes have been made to cards on non televised live events, as shown on our schedule page.
We apologise to fans looking forward to seeing Fale wrestle, and appreciate your understanding.
