This shouldn’t come as any surprise, but according to Pro Wrestling Sheet’s Ryan Satin, New Japan Pro Wrestling has instructed Pro Wrestling Tees to stop printing Shinsuke Nakamura shirts after the end of the month. That’s when Nakamura’s contract expires, a result of NJPW sticking to the Japanese tradition of annual contracts that all come up at the same time even long past it stopped being a workable idea. Any stock that’s already been printed can still be sold for obvious reasons.
Pro Wrestling Tees quickly confirmed this by sending out an email blast titled “Only 10 days Left To Get Shinsuke Nakamura NJPW T-shirts.” It also said that “After January 31st, All NJPW Shinsuke Nakamura t-shirts will be removed!” So it looks like if they’re going to have leftover stock, it’s not going to be sold on the website. Obviously, if you want to get the shirts before they’re gone, then check out Pro Wrestling Tees’ NJPW store.
Also, for fun, here’s a great violin cover of “Subconscious,” Nakamura’s NJPW entrance music:
