New Japan Wrestling Info

History: Kanji Inoki, a japanese emigrant to Brazil, was scouted by Rikidozan in 1960, and brought to Japan to join the JWA. He later changed his name to Antonio Inoki. In 1966, Inoki made his first attempt at breaking away from the JWA and forming his own group, Tokyo Pro-Wrestling. In 1967, Inoki suddenly rejoined the JWA and Tokyo Pro folded. In 1971, Inoki was expelled from the JWA when it as discovered that he was planning a coup to take over the promotion. Inoki subsequently formed his second group, New Japan Pro Wrestling and ran his first card in March, 1972. The group has now grown to be the largest and most popular wrestling group in Japan. It currently has a show on TV Asahi. In 1983, New Japan created the International Wrestling Grand Prix titles, which are now the main titles of the group: the IWGP Heavyweight title, the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title and the IWGP Tag Team titles.
