Legendary WWE announcer Jim Ross recently gave high praises to New Japan Pro Wrestling on his blog. J.R. says he spent his Friday night watching five hours of NJPW on AXS TV, and was pleased with what he saw.
“Congrats to all involved wth Wrestle Kingdom 10 that took place in the Tokyo Dome on January 4,” Ross wrote on JRsBarBQ.com. “The NJPW brand is arguably the best overall in ring product within the genre these days. Happy that we could introduce so many fans to the brand last year while promoting the PPV of Wrestle Kingdom 9.”
“I watched five hours of NJPW on @AXSTV Friday night upon arriving home from the Orange Bowl,” J.R. continued. “@MauroRanallo and @JoshLBarnett do a stout job on the action packed one hour broadcasts. They stay with the action and push me to make an emotional investment which is missing in many pro wrestling broadcasts these days.
Wrestle Kingdom 10 (results) took place at the Tokyo Dome in Tokyo, Japan on January 4, 2015 in front of 36,000 fans. This marked the 24th year in a row a wrestling event has been held on January 4th at the Tokyo Dome.
