News: Impact Star Headed To All-Japan (Updated 10/19)

All-Japan posted a YouTube video today announcing that Jonathan Gresham, currently competing in Impact Wrestling, will be making his All-Japan debut soon. He will be heading there later this month (probably after this weekend’s Bound For Glory PPV and TV tapings, or possibly after Impact’s England tour next week) and has already challenged El Lindaman for the All-Japan Word Junior Heavyweight Championship. Based on mentions of Hokkaido and the next tour schedule after that (plus it also will have a Jr. Battle Of Glory tournament), such a match could possibly happen between 10/31-11/5 during a scheduled week-long Hokkaido tour before an 11/12 Korakuen Hall event.

Gresham has competed in Japan for New Japan Pro Wrestling before but this will be his first time in All-Japan.

More as it becomes available.

10/19 UPDATE: The title match will happen on 11/5.
