MORE BIG BANG NEWS AND ANNOUNCEMENTS!
Finally, after some weeks of speculation, The Big Bang's venue has been announced; the Pay Per View will be LIVE from the Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. The Staples Center was the former host of WWE's Wrestlemania 21, and Bischoff wanted the event to be held in a multiethnic area as opposed to an area were demographics of diversity were slim. Other potential and proposed venues for The Big Bang were the United Center in Chicago, Illinois, and the Verizon Center in Washington, D.C., both of which have been selected for use for other undisclosed events in the near future. GCW, on an international level, has been quite successful in advertising The Big Bang, garnering ticket sales from other countries such as Japan, Mexico, UK, and Canada. Since the promotion is currently in negotiations with CMLL, AAA, NJPW, Dragon Gate, Ring of Honor, and Pro Wrestling NOAH, those companies have joined in on the marketing effort, making The Big Bang one of the largest international joint ventures the professional wrestling world has seen in quite sometime.
The return of a mega superstar to The Big Bang has been rumored, and there may be some truth to the gossip. Of course, nobody within GCW management is saying anything about it, but it's been mentioned the superstar in question hasn't been wrestling for more than four years, and is training rigorously for a return to in ring action. Bischoff has offered a vague clue as to who it can be, and he has been quoted, "He's a former World Champion." More on this soon, folks.
