-- January 7: Jim Ross published a detailed blog on his trip to Japan to call Global Force Wrestling's broadcast of the "Wrestle Kingdom" Tokyo Dome Show. Notably, Ross said that there was no communication from the TV producers.

"Funny story....I think that the TV Asahi folks forget that we were there as we were never counted in to the start the show or to the video packages and not even off the air. We went by our instincts and it seemed to work out pretty well. Yes, we worked the entire four hour PPV plus sat there for the 30 minutes or so pre show festivities and never heard ONE WORD from the TV truck," Ross wrote. [ Full Blog on the experience HERE ]

-- January 7: Global Force issued a press release noting the replay times for the Wrestle Kingdom PPV. The event is replaying throughout the month of January on cable and satellite providers, and available on-demand through the Flipps App. [ Replay Info HERE on GFW's website ]

“I’m so proud that Global Force Wrestling was able to bring this show to the North American viewing audience,” said CEO Jeff Jarrett. “It was an honor to participate, and I can tell you as a wrestling fan myself to watch it in person was truly amazing. If you haven’t seen it yet you still have time to order on replay, and you won’t be disappointed.”

“Wrestle Kingdom 9 was one of the highlights of my 40-year career,” Ross said in the release. “From start to finish it was extraordinary. It's an event all wrestling fans should see.”

Ross added in his blog: "I'm not sure what the future of GFW and NJPW working together again is but, if they do, it would be hard for me to say no to an offer to come aboard for another show. Time will tell but if this was my last pro wrestling event, I picked a damn good one on which to go out on."
