Once A.J. Styles, Gallows and Anderson and Shinsuke Nakamura made a direct beeline from New Japan Pro Wrestling to WWE in recent months, the writing was on the wall that NJPW was due for a total American invasion. And the 45-year-old promotion will finally descend on our shores for AXS TV’s live-broadcast G1 Special in the USA event, airing from the Long Beach Convention Center in California July 1st at 8 p.m. (a second part will air pre-taped July 7th). They even christened a brand-new United States Championship title to coincide with the affair, and its first owner will be determined via tournament during G1 Special.

NJPW is the best there is right now in terms of wrestling. Anyone I know who watches both WWE and NJPW prefer Japan over America's seemingly drowning branding. I was honestly shocked when AJ Styles left for the WWE but I am glad people like Omega stayed.

Pro-wrestling has been gaining popularity in the last few months. I have seen quite a few colleagues attending the events. Although I am not a fan of these "fake sports", it is good to see new things coming up (and sometimes, going away, too :-p).
