Takami Ohbari weighs in on the future of STRONG.
The New Japan STRONG product kicked off during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s been running for several years now and Rocky Romero is the head of the brand.
NJPW President Takami Ohbari sent out a tweet about STRONG and noted that is going to be ‘rebuilt to adapt to internal and external environments’.
USの厳格なロックダウンと世界的な「プロレス枯渇」の中『継続的な試合提供』のため無観客からスタートしました。
日本の興行数は回復。USはSTRONGを火種として大事に育て直し、今や2～3千人規模の興行が定例化しました。
大きく変わった内外環境を踏まえ #njpwSTRONGを『量より質』へ再構築します。
