GPWA Becomes Official

GPWA Chairman Mitsuharu Misawa & Director Yoshiyuki Nakamura held a press conference today at Differ Ariake with Kiyoshi Asano (IWA)/Kensho Kawabata (El Dorado)/Kazunari Murakami (BML)/Shinjiro Otani (Z1)/Sanshiro Takagi (DDT)/TAKA Michinoku (K-DOJO) in attendance and Misawa announced that the first GPWA show will be held on 11/14 at Korakuen Hall and will be broadcast on NTV on tape delay and live on G+. Misawa said that that the promotions they have deals with overseas (EWA/ROH/WLW/World-1) will also send talent to make this card a “gold card” for the debut of the promotion. Freelancers working GPWA are the following Takaku Fuke/Kikutaro/Shiro Koshinaka/Mazada/NOSAWA/Minoru Suzuki/Yoshihiro Takayama/Tadao Yasuda. Misawa also said that the profits from this show will be pooled into a fund for the maintenance of GPWA and it’s employees along with the formation of a GPWA Dojo to train new talent. Misawa said that it’s disappointing that All-Japan/Dragon Gate/HUSTLE/New Japan won’t be involved but Nakamura said that he has been in talks with every one of those groups and they just wouldn’t join up at the moment. Nakamura said though that he hopes that they would assist GPWA in the future and he thinks that GPWA will survive without them.
