“I’ve just come from my last judo tournament and I’ve been very busy but I’m happy to be here. As Tanahashi explained, I approached NJPW with the idea to come into professional wrestling. Since I was a college student, I always looked forward to seeing World Pro-Wrestling and seeing how cool and aspirational these figures were. I realised this would be a new way to express myself outside of judo,” said Wolf at a special press conference.
Fightful will provide more details on Wolf’s signing when they are known.
