Wrestle-1 executive Jimmy Suzuki garnered heat from fans after comments he made recently about not having a TNA Knockouts match at the TNA Bound For Glory pay-per-view in Japan. Suzuki later defended his comments on Twitter with the following tweets:
Sorry if anyone took wrong…I was event producer for NKPWA in Korea and always had girls in the show. Took some for Japan
