All Elite Wrestling’s Next Event + Luke Perry Passing + More On Bruce Prichard

–All Elite Wrestling has been making a lot of waves lately. The promotion was formally announced earlier this year. Their first show, Double or Nothing, is still a couple months away. That is not stopping them from continuing to make more news, however.

Today, Executive Vice President Cody Rhodes announced via his Twitter account that the company’s next event would take place in July.

Fight for the Fallen will take place in Jacksonville, Florida. The venue that was selected is Daily’s Place Amphitheater, which should seat around 5.500 for the event-depending on the configuration.

It is encouraging to see the company booking additional big events, considering Double or Nothing doesn’t happen until May 25.

-In some sadder news, actor Luke Perry passed away today. Perry is the father of AEW talent Jungle Boy, and was himself a wrestling fan.

We at WNZ send our condolences to the Perry family during this painful time.

-As we all know by now, Bruce Prichard is back with WWE in a creative capacity. What may not have been immediately clear is that he was actually back from earlier in 2019.

Wrestling Observer confirmed that, while Prichard was recently brought in as a full timer, he was actually engaged as a contracted consultant from January.

John Deegan

Introduced to professional wrestling in the 1980's thanks to Superstars and Saturday Night's Main Event, John's passion for the medium was reborn thanks to ECW in the 90's. A former in-ring "talent" with a career 0-2 record, he finds it more rewarding, and far less painful, to write about wrestling now.
