ORIGINAL: PWInsider reports that Daniel Hinkles’ Five Star Wrestling has cancelled the first night of their 128-Man tournament that would run over several months in the UK. The event was scheduled for June 10 in Liverpool. It’s led some to believe the entire tournament is cancelled as well.

The tournament was originally announced in January after a live broadcast on Spike UK. Five Star hasn’t been seen on the network since, although the network has been airing Impact Wrestling. Five Star even made a $1 million offer to CM Punk to compete in the tournament. Punk is under contract to the UFC and didn’t respond to the offer in any way.

There are still dates scheduled for June 17 in Blackburn, June 24 in Belfast, July 8 in Dundee, July 15 in Aberdeen, July 29 in Cardiff and August 12 in Newcastle.

Five Star has yet to publicly announce the cancellation, but several talents are now looking for a new booking. Those advertised include Rob Van Dam, Moose, John Morrison, Carlito, Bram, El Ligero, Joe Coffey, and Zack Gibson. Coffey wrote on Twitter:

Ive lost out on more money in 6 months of 2017 than i have my whole 8 years wrestling.
….and its supposed to be a revival.
