The ‘Knockout Artist’ KO’s Indie Promotion!

If you’re excited about seeing Kassius Ohno compete at a Primetime Championship Wrestling event on August 17, then subdue that mirth. The NXT star has been falsely booked for the event by someone within the company.

Initially scheduled to battle the ‘Beast’ Bubba Boorow in Huntsville, Alabama, the ‘Knockout Artist’ hastily took to Twitter to clear up the confusion but found himself accused of being a fake. After much confusion and some sheer cheek on the part of said company, the post advertising him was removed. However, Ohno’s own tweet shows the advert in all of its glory.

Hey Alabama! There’s some goober falsely claiming to have me booked for a show in August. The Facebook page is Primetime Championship Wrestling- I’ve reached out to sort this out & they’re claiming *I’m* a fake account. Either way, someone is misrepresenting me. Beware! pic.twitter.com/hInR3ymuwR

Should this not be a mistake, then it is a clear case of a small-time indie outfit attempting to draw attention to themselves; a mere publicity stunt to sell more tickets and, if it works, then it will have been worth it.

Floundering in NXT’s mid-card, Kassius has recently been trying out a new, more serious character on NXT live events which one would expect to see on NXT television following TakeOver: Brooklyn IV.
