Flip Gordon Comments on His Removal from NJPW’s Best of the Super Jrs. 2019 Tournament

As noted before, New Japan Pro Wrestling announced both El Desperado and Flip Gordon have been pulled from their upcoming Best of the Super Juniors tournament, which takes places from May 13th to June 5th. NJPW stated that Gordon was pulled due to visa issues that would not be resolved in time for the tournament.

Fightful held a recent interview with Gordon discussing the visa issues that led to his removal from NJPW’s upcoming Super Juniors tournament.

“The second certificate of eligibility, in order to apply for a new visa, got lost in the mail. They sent it back on April 12. I should have had it in enough time to apply for a new visa. It was a miscommunication with the consulate. I drove to the consulate to see if we could get an extension on the current visa, which was the wrong via, but we didn’t know the current visa had expired until yesterday.

The visa I had would have worked had I gone to Japan (in February) because they would have taken the certificate of eligibility and put the stamp in my passport and I would have had re-entry (for Best of Super Juniors).”

Gordon also stated that NJPW officials were not upset at him and understood that his visa issues were completely out of his control.
