Over the past couple of years, New Japan Pro Wrestling has been expanding in a big way. The company just had a very successful tour of Australia and an upcoming show in Long Beach has already sold out. Throw in the fact that streaming site NJPW World has taken off in a big way and it's clear that wrestling fans are loving what the company is producing and are highly invested in the brand.
Now, NJPW is looking to further increase its audience by launching DVDs outside of Japan for the first time. "An Introduction to NJPW" will be released on WrestlingStore.co.uk later this month and it features the likes of Kazuchika Okada, Kota Ibushi, Tetsuya Naito, Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kushida, and The Young Bucks. If you're looking to sell wrestling fans on the company, that's a good start!
The set will also include matches featuring current WWE talent like Finn Balor, Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles, and Ricochet. The matches all come from 2013 - 2014, so chances are this is the first of a series of compilations depending on how well the first one sells. If you're not a current viewer of NJPW, will you be picking this release up? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
