NJPW star Yota Tsuji recently spoke with the company on a number of topics including what is his end goal in pro wrestling.
Tsuji said, “I need to win the G1, and I need to win the IWGP [World Heavyweight Championship].” “My end goal is for NJPW to become the world’s top promotion. What I mean by that is, for people around the world to equate wrestling with NJPW. That level of connection.”
“To me, America isn’t the place to do that. WWE is there, but the world’s a big place. 300 million people in the US, and a lot more elsewhere. If we bring wrestling to those places, then it’s possible for NJPW to have that recognition. I really think it’s achievable. So to make NJPW the world’s number one, I have to spread to the world the idea that NJPW = pro wrestling.”
