He might not have been Jeff Jarrett's first choice, and he probably wasn't most fans', either. But Global Force Wrestling (GFW) has announced that Matt Striker will be Jim Ross' broadcast partner for their English language pay-per-view (PPV) version of Wrestle Kingdom 9. The biggest event on the New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) calendar takes place on January 4, 2015 in Tokyo.
Hopefully, Striker can focus on providing history and context from his encyclopedic knowledge of pro wrestling and avoid too much smarky humor.
Here's a clip of the Lucha Underground play-by-play voice talking about the opportunity.
Excited for this pairing, Cagesiders?
