This week, New Japan Pro Wrestling will hold the 2019 Super J-Cup that features 16 competitors that come from the New Japan, Ring of Honor, or CMLL roster.
This tournament is simply to prove which talent is the best athlete in the world and also to honor Jushin “Thunder” Liger, who’s the original creator behind the concept. The New Japan star is set to retire in the Tokyo Dome next year.
