As an avid wrestling fan, being able to see another company other than WWE succeed breeds competition and brings another conversation to a much needed niche of entertainment. Within the past few years we’ve seen independent promotions thrive taking advantage of the internet as a new base of operation, one area in particular is Japan.
Over the past 2 years NJPW has begun it’s crossing into the mainstream American market with the likes of Kenny Omega, Kazuchika Okada, Tetsuya Naito, and Hiroshi Tanahashi manning the ship while so many other up and coming stars are making a name for themselves so it was only a matter of time that they would be front and center in some way shape or form. In Fire Pro Wrestling World, the next installment of the long standing Japanese Wrestling game series, you will be able to enjoy the chance to play as several of your favorite wrestlers while looking at this badass box art.
