NJPW Road To New Beginning Report: New Champions & High Tensions on the Road to Hiroshima

Title Match Previews Run Long

The New Beginning tour has seen some rare Time Limit Draws in the build to the main event title programs. A time limit draw on Jan. 25th preceded Hiroshi Tanahashi & Shingo Takagi’s epic main event in Nagoya. SANADA & IWGP Double Champion Kota Ibushi have been unable to get the upper hand on each other, as they head into their Double Title match on Feb. 11th. They, along with the Jr. Heavyweight main eventers, wrestled to another Time Limit Draw on Feb. 8th.

The title contenders have never felt more even, as we head into Wednesday & Thursday.
