10 Reasons NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10 Will Be 2016's Best Show

Wrestle Kingdom 10 will start the year by setting the bar very, very high.

New Japan Pro Wrestling will present their annual January Tokyo Dome extravaganza, Wrestle Kingdom, on January 4th. The show will air live on New Japan's streaming service, NJPW World, and it will be available on demand through the service following the event's conclusion. Last year's Wrestle Kingdom show ended up being arguably the best wrestling event of 2015, and this year's edition looks to set the bar very high for 2016 right off the bat. The card is stacked from top to bottom with several match of the year candidates. You will see some of the very best that professional wrestling has to offer in action, names such as Shinsuke Nakamura, AJ Styles, Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and many more. If you're wondering about the quality of ring work these names present, Tanahashi and Nakamura have won the "Wrestler Of The Year" award in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter for the last four years, and Styles is the odds on favorite to win it for 2015 (as of this writing, the 2015 awards have not yet been announced). If you're a wrestling fan, you owe it to yourself to watch this event. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rl9wWchPLU Like last year, the show will be presented with English commentary for English speaking fans. Last year's event had Jim Ross and Matt Striker on commentary exclusively on the North American PPV broadcast of the show. This year, Wrestle Kingdom will be available solely through the NJPW World streaming service (which is cheaper than the WWE Network), so the English commentary option will be available there as well. Kevin Kelly and Matt Striker will call the action this year. The chances are, you will see the best wrestling event of the year just four days into 2016...
