In an announcement a short time ago on social media and their official website, Pro Wrestling NOAH announced they are taking over management duties for wrestler Shinjiro Otani, who is out long-term due to spinal cord injuries. Otani, the founder of the ZERO1 promotion, is currently rehabbing and communicates with fans on social media while trying to work towards an eventual return, while NOAH will take over managing and arranging appearances by Otani, portrait rights and more. Additionally, the promotion plans to have Otani appear at Wednesday’s event at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo to greet fans but this is subject to change depending on his condition.
