NJPW announces Chicago G1 Fan Fest as AEW and WWE stories surface

New Japan Pro-Wrestling will hold a G1 Climax Fan Fest in Chicago on July 10 — the day before night one of G1 Climax 36 — featuring a talk show segment and two meet-and-greet sessions with select participants, with further details to follow. Meanwhile, AEW continues building toward Double or Nothing with a new match added to the Buy-In and the promotion launching an “AEW Advance” TikTok pre-show next week, and other industry notes include Danhausen signing with Los Angeles-based management and MLW’s Fusion returning May 30.

In other headlines, MJF told The Takedown that Vince McMahon is responsible for conditioning some fans to view hair-match stipulations as comedic, insisting hair still matters for top stars, while Kim Laurinaitis — widow of Road Warrior Animal — criticized A&E’s Biography: WWE Legends episode for focusing on Hawk’s addiction and questioned Bruce Prichard’s inclusion. Additional items of interest: Booker T called the Ronda Rousey vs. Gina Carano fight “the biggest heist” he’s seen, WWE is reportedly exploring a more extensive winter house-show loop, and Baron Corbin is reportedly viewed favorably in locker-room conversations amid return talk.
