The Japan Pro Wrestling Federation, an alliance being formed by 11 Japanese promotions-New Japan Pro Wrestling, All-Japan Pro Wrestling, Pro Wrestling NOAH, DDT, Dragon Gate, Big Japan, Ganbare Pro, Kyushu Pro, Tokyo Joshi Pro, Stardom and Diana-appears to be headed towards incorporation following a pair of ALL TOGETHER events held in May & June as fundraisers for Noto Peninsula earthquake recovery efforts. An executive structure has also been agreed upon once incorporation is completed: CyberFight Co. Vice President & DDT wrestler Sanshiro Takagi (who is about to go on indefinite hiatus) will be the Representative Director, while Executive Directors will be Kyushu Pro Chairman Ryota Chikuzen, DRAGONGATE Co. Director Ryo Saito, and New Japan Board OF Directors Chairman Naoki Sugabayashi. Also in attendance were DDT General Manager Hisaya Imabayashi & New Japan President Hiroshi Tanahashi.
The Federation will continue to hold meetings and other events to consider and disseminate measures for the professional wrestling world.
More as it becomes available.
