Various News: Details On Why NJPW New Beginning Shows Have No Japanese Talent, Jake Hager Making MMA Debut This Weekend, DDP Yoga Working With NFL Alumni

– NJPW released their cards for The New Beginning USA shows that happen next week, and fans have noticed that there are no Japanese talents participating. NJPW has released a statement explaining that this is due to visa issues.

The statement reads: “It is with great disappointment that we must announce that due to the ongoing 2018–19 United States federal government shutdown, we were unable to obtain visas for our Japanese talent who were looking forward to seeing our US fans at the New Beginning in USA.

We are excited to still be able to share a great line-up with our US fans, regardless of visa issues. The IWGP US Champion, Juice Robinson, is defending his title against Barretta and The Great O-Kharn, who is flying in from England, will be debuting in New Japan!

What’s more, this show will highlight the talent and potential of our Young Lions, who have been working hard in the NJPW LA dojo. We are looking forward to being able to celebrate the abilities of the exciting new generation of young NJPW wrestlers.”

– Jake Hager, the former Jack Swagger, will make his MMA debut on Saturday at Bellator 214. He’ll fight JW Kiser at The Forum in Inglewood, California. It will air on Paramount TV.
