The NJPW Road to Wrestling Dontaku 2017 show on Saturday, April 22 from Korakuen Hall should be a fantastic one, and here’s all the info you need to watch.
Anytime that New Japan Pro Wrestling has a live show, there’s a good chance that wrestling fans won’t be disappointed when they tune in. NJPW is one of the best products in the industry consistently. What’s better, though, is that they’ve started to make more live shows available worldwide. That’s the case with shows like NJPW Road to Wrestling Dontaku on Saturday, April 22.
Wrestling Dontaku promises to be a massive card as one of the signature annual events for NJPW. However, New Japan has always been great at building to these big payoffs. Therefore, fans are in for a treat as they get to see these buildups with shows like Road to Wrestling Dontaku.
In the main event of the night from Korakuen Hall, two Bullet Club members in Kenny Omega and Bad Luck Fale will team up to take on Tomohiro Ishii and IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada. That match should be fireworks, but also will contain a great deal of buildup towards the bigger show that’s lies down the road in May. Meanwhile, other familiar faces in NJPW such as Ricochet, Tetsuya Naito, Hiroshi Tanahashi and many more will also be in action on Saturday.
