Update On NJPW’s US Expansion: Planned Tour, LA Office & Dojo

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?
