WELCOME EVERYBODY TO MY 2014 NJPW DIARY.

 

It's the night after Wrestle Kingdom 8,

champions were crowned,

dreams were shattered

and New Japans global appeal is just starting to take shape.

 

Can Gedo keep NJPW going strong?

Will this be a massive failure?

Will I even make it to New Beginning?

LETS FIND OUT
