Following the success of New Japan Pro Wrestling’s G1 Special tournament this past weekend, the promotion has big plans to continue their expansion in the Untied States.
During Night 2 of the the double-header event from Long Beach, California, it was announced that New Japan will be returning to the United States next year for more shows. Courtesy of @Strigga from PuroLove.com, Kidani said they would like to tour in the United States no later than March/April 2018.
Additionally, there are plans to open an office in Los Angeles later this year and for New Japan to open a dojo in Los Angeles by early 2018.
For those who didn’t catch Nights 1 and 2 of the G1 Special over the weekend, Night 2 replays this Friday night on AXS TV.
Discussion: Do you follow New Japan Pro Wrestling? If so, how do you think it compares to American promotions like WWE, Ring of Honor and Global Force Wrestling?
He added that the LA office will be opened within this year and the LA dojo will be opened at the beginning of 2018. #njusa
