Josh Barnett Says He Wasn’t Consulted by GCW About the ‘Bloodsport Reborn’ Announcement

As previously reported, Game Changer Wrestling teased the return of Bloodsport with the “Bloodsport Reborn” graphic yesterday, announcing, “The legacy continues. Bloodsport REBORN. Coming soon.” Now, previous Bloodsport promoter, former UFC Heavyweight Champion Josh Barnett, is saying he was never consulted about the idea.

X user IQWrestler wrote about not being consulted about the announcement. Barnett later responded, “You and me both.” You can view that exchange below.

Bloodsport events went on hiatus following Bloodsport XV earlier in April. As noted, Barnett recently said in an interview with The Ariel Helwani Show that he was “shopping” around the Bloodsport idea and seeking investors.

You and me both
