cobystag Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 NEW JAPAN PRO WRESTLING TO RUN NORTHEAST UNITED STATES Â By Mike Johnson on 2010-10-03 16:00:00 Â New Japan Pro Wrestling will be running at least three events in the Northeastern United States in 2011, PWInsider.com has confirmed. Â Jersey All Pro Wrestling will be helping NJPW and working as local promoters for the events. NJPW used Jushin Liger earlier in the year and have plans for Liger to return shortly. Â The early word is that NJPW will bring over a troupe of 12 wrestlers and that the first shows aren't slated until at least May 2011. Â My fiancee is gonna hate me and say I only go over to America for wrestling shows, but, fuck it, I'm just gonna say at least this way we don't have to go to Japan if I've seen a lot of the guys live before hand. Â I. Must. Go. Â Devitt. Nakamura. Tanahashi. Liger. Kanemoto. Goto. Makabe. Nagata. Taguchi. Anderson. Bernard. Tiger Mask IV. Â I wouldn't be surprised if Jado & Gedo are brought over. Â I would kill for Kojima as well. Â I guess American names like Richards and Omega (Canadian but y'know) would be in with a shout.

cobystag Posted October 3, 2010 Author Posted October 3, 2010 As long as it's not the Dudleys, I am perfectly fine with that.
Big Rob Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 I'm hoping early May so it will tie in with my US trip. Would be awesome to see Liger live, he's one of the few people I *have* to see before they retire.
Snitsky's back acne Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 Liger sees to be doing a fair bit of work outside of Japan as of late. Â In 2010 he's worked 3 independent dates in America and has been working CMLL in Mexico since June. Â Maybe he'd fancy visiting the place where he spent a fair portion of his early years as Fuji Yamada some time too?
Paid Members Halitosis Romantic Posted October 3, 2010 Paid Members Posted October 3, 2010 Not really that interested, but might amble along to one of these shows.

Happ Hazzard Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Can we have a NJPW event in the North please? I'm sick of everything being in Portsmouth or Broxbourne or fucking St. Ives.
Mark Sloan Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Can we have a NJPW event in the North please? I'm sick of everything being in Portsmouth or Broxbourne or fucking St. Ives. Â No. Â Our Huge Portsmouth WCW supershow was such a success we're not moving outside the city limits again
rubbafish Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Can we have a NJPW event in the North please? I'm sick of everything being in Portsmouth or Broxbourne or fucking St. Ives.  No.  Our Huge Portsmouth WCW supershow was such a success we're not moving outside the city limits again  LOL! Lion Kid Vs. The Z Man at the Pyramid... make it happen Mark!  I do wonder how NJPW would draw in the UK to be honest. I personally would love to see it but there is just something in me that thinks financially it could be a tough one.
cobystag Posted October 4, 2010 Author Posted October 4, 2010 - When New Japan Pro Wrestling comes to the US, which is expected to be in May of 2011, the plan is to run the ECW Arena in Philadelphia, the Rahway Rec Center in New Jersey and then a third location somewhere in New York City. Jersey All Pro Wrestling will be helping to promote the shows. Â Â Well The Arena is a given for me, and I do love Rahway cos there's a nice Irish pub near to the venue and it's a nice easy ride up. Â Could do NYC and bribe Suz with some time wandering around Central Park again.......
lightningxlock Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 NJPW in the ECW Arena just seems really odd to me. Be cool to see tho, undoubtedly
cobystag Posted October 5, 2010 Author Posted October 5, 2010 Jersey All Pro Wrestling announced that Gedo, Jado, Jushin "Thunder" Liger, Tiger Mask IV, Hiroshi Tanahashi and Prince Devitt will be working the New Japan events in the United States in May 2011. Â Â Â Liger, Tanahashi & Devitt = FUCK YEAH! Â Now all I need is Nakamura & Goto.
