New Japan Pro Wrestling President Harold Meij extended a message to all wrestling fans dealing with fear and uncertainty as a result of the coronavirus.
“The coronavirus has impacted the entire world,” said Meij. “However, throughout our 50-year history we have experienced and overcome numerous crises, not only emerging stronger as an organization, but also as a good social beacon bringing hope and excitement worldwide. NJPW sincerely believes professional wrestling will once again unite us all very soon, sharing our passion for wrestling together.”
Meij connected with Sports Illustrated to address the state of New Japan Pro Wrestling, including a potential return to action, the upcoming Wrestle Dynasty show at Madison Square Garden, and the potential of a working agreement with All Elite Wrestling.
