NJPW Changes The Way They Negotiate Contracts
New Japan Pro Wrestling has announced on their website that they have, “Reviewed the contract method, introduced multi-year contract system as world standard.”
This comments comes after NJPW Owner Takaaki Kidani stated recently that losing wrestlers to the U.S. has been a pain point for the company. It is a major reason why they are pushing into the U.S. market with events like the upcoming G-1 specials in July which will be held California.
