As noted last week, WWE did meet with the president of New Japan Pro Wrestling. However, it wasn’t Antonio Inoki as WWE’s web site reported. Inoki has not been the president of NJPW in years.
Instead, WWE met with current NJPW president Simon Inoki. It is believed president Inoki was seeking WWE talent for NJPW’s 1/4 Tokyo Dome show and for future Japanese shows.
Antonio Inoki will be appearing at the Tokyo Dome on 1/13 and 1/14 as part of a Olympic Opening Cermony Drama show.
