NJPW President Hiroshi Tanahashi recently spoke with Sports Illustrated on a number of topics including top AEW star Jon Moxley holding the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.
Tanahashi said, “This isn’t the first time that the top title has been worn by an outsider. Whoever can take it off Moxley will have a big spotlight on them, and I hope they make the most of it.”
On the upcoming All Together show benefiting survivors of the Noto earthquake:
“Pro wrestling has a long history of helping to unite Japan in the wake of an emergency. We always want the wrestling business booming so we can contribute to society in bigger and bigger ways.”
