Last month, 5 Star Wrestling offered CM Punk $1 million to take part in their 128-man tournament that was supposed to begin this month. Punk never responded to the promotion and now 5 Star Wrestling has rescheduled the entire tournament to February 2018. According to F4WOnline, 5 Star Wrestling informed talent that the change of schedule was due to the Manchester bombing that took place on May 22nd. Many are skeptical if that really was the reason for the tournament being pushed back.
5 Star Wrestling released the following statement on their Facebook page:
JUNE 1ST 2017
5 STAR TOURNAMENT AND SHOWS RESCHEDULED TO FEBRUARY 2018.
