Kevin Kelly On Who NJPW Wanted For Commentary In 2017

During an interview with Wrestle Inn, Kevin Kelly revealed that Bret Hart was considered prior to settling on Don Callis for commentary. Here’s what he had to say:

Before Don Callis, they had floated – because it was gonna be Kenny [Omega] and [Chris] Jericho – the idea of Bret Hart. I said, ‘Go right ahead and reach out to him.’ Before they did, because they didn’t have his number, Kenny suggested Don. So, that’s how Don came to be. But actually, [Bret] was one of the first names that was floated not too long before. They were thinking, ‘Oh, a Canadian. Great.’ That would’ve been interesting. That would’ve been a lot of fun.
