The planned Global Pro Wrestling in Israel is not taking place due to
breach of contract claims. The show has been announced for September 14th
and was advertising Sting, Rob Van Dam, Rikishi, Vikingo, and more.
However, in a statement issued to Haus of Wrestling, the Global Pro
Wrestling Summit team announced that the event will not take place as the promoter is allegedly in breach “on numerous fronts.”
The announcement reads:
We regret to announce that the Global Pro Wrestling Summit event will not
be going forward, as scheduled for the Pais Arena in Jerusalem on
September 14, 2023.
The promoter, All-Stars Israel/Stagetime, is in breach of contract on
numerous fronts, inclusive of not delivering deposits to talent as
stipulated in the contracts, and has been duly notified that the
contracted talent (which includes ALL non-Israeli talent being advertised
for the event) will NOT be appearing. THIS promoter has been advised to
pull advertisements/promotions containing talent from all platforms and
to cease selling tickets immediately in connection with the advertisement/ promotion of any of these talents.
In the interest of protecting consumers from fraud, we’ve notified both
the Pais Arena and the on-sale platform –Ticket Tailor—that the event, as currently being advertised/promoted by All-Stars Israel/Stagetime, is not
going forward.
In the process of producing this event, first-class teams in both the US
and Israel have been assembled. Talented professionals such as Rick
Bassman. Scarlette Donovan, Todd Keneley, Alon Levin, Jeramie McPeek,
Oren Treitman, Pete Trerice, Danny Ly Ziser, and others have put forth a consistently excellent and thoroughly conscientious effort to build and
advance what we all hoped would be an unforgettable and wholly-positive experience, for talent and “office” alike, and especially, for the fans.
That said, with this large volume of good work behind us, including
booking an unparallel card and having a solid commitment for pay-per-
view, we’re all hard at work trying to “save” this event by aligning with a reputable, major promotional entity. Progress is being made, with
REPUTABLE promoters, both in Israel and in other territories. In the
event we are to move forward on the September 14 date, we will provide
updates accordingly, and all ticket sales for Pais will be honored at the
new venue. That said, fans who have purchased tickets thus far may wish
to elect to request a refund through Ticket Tailor, the platform All-
Stars Israel engaged. www.tickettailor.com
A couple of personal notes from our team… doing this show has gotten into
our blood. It has been a true pleasure forming a relationship between the
US and Israeli teams who have been working so hard on this together, as
it has been getting to know the wonderful pro wrestling talent in Israel.
If September 14 does not come to fruition, we will regroup, and continue
to put forth our best efforts to bring world-class professional wrestling
to Israel in the very near future. But… we’re still fighting the good fight! In any case, we PLEDGE… a “new” event will be announced ONLY when ALL funding is in place.
Stay tuned…
Sincerely,
The Global Pro Wrestling Summit Team
