LEGENDARY STAR CONFIRMED FOR NEW JAPANESE WOMEN'S PROMOTION LAUNCHING IN NYC, MORE DETAILS ON THOSE BEHIND PROMOTION AND MORE

By Mike Johnson on 2023-07-10 11:30:00

As PWInsider.com broke last week, there will be a new promotion launching this September featuring Japanese women’s wrestlers with the first event scheduled for New York City.

PWInsider.com has since confirmed that the project is something that has actually been planned and worked on for several years.  We have also confirmed that some of the point people behind the new promotion were actually consultants for Bushiroad, the parent company of New Japan Pro Wrestling and STARDOM for a number of years.

PWInsider.com has also learned that a number of competitors involved were actually signed to contracts for the project earlier in the year.  

Thus far, the only name we have confirmed is legendary former All Japan Women's Pro-Wrestling and WWE star Bull Nakano.  We are told that while Nakano, who retired in 1997, will not be wrestling for the group, she will be actively involved for it behind the scenes as well as featured in an “on camera role”, so to speak.

More as we confirm.
