 For years, when someone thinks of Japanese wrestling, they always think of New Japan Pro Wrestling because it has been the most dominant force in Japanese wrestling for well over a decade but there was a time before that when another company called All Japan Pro Wrestling ranked up there as the best of the best in Japan. However, a series of unfortunate events led to the collapse of AJPW and over the years, it became less and less relevant but this changed in early 2016, Japenese wrestling legend Keiji Mutoh was announced as the new owner of the company and he vowed to work closely with former owner Jun Akiyama to bring AJPW back to the level it once was. This is that story. |
