NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10 - Everything You Need To Know

It's the WrestleMania of Japan and it's almost upon us.

by John Bills

Time truly does fly in the world of professional wrestling, and 2016 is almost upon us. Of course, there is little time to breathe in this crazy world, and the first major show of the year comes in the form of New Japan Pro Wrestling and Wrestle Kingdom 10. The show takes place at the Tokyo Dome, one of the most famous venues in the world, and to call the card stacked would be a massive understatement. There is every chance that it'll be the best show of the year as well, if last year's effort is anything to go by. Whether it was the better than it had any right to be hybrid battle between Minoru Suzuki and Kazushi Sakuraba, the hoss violence between Tomohiro Ishii and Togi Makabe or the simply untouchable semi and main of Nakaumura/Ibushi and Okada/Tanahashi, it was a fantastic show. As difficult as it is to believe, this year's show looks like it will take something disastrous for it to fail to eclipse the 2015 edition.The world of New Japan Pro Wrestling is still a little foreign to many wrestling fans, and throughout this preview I will try to introduce the various characters and stories as best I can. So without further ado, here is everything you need to know about NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 10.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
