Inoki Sports management sent the following press release to PWTorch regarding upcoming try outs at the New Japan Dojo in Santa Monica, California. Currently, the NWA Pro promotion runs weekly Sunday shows at the Dojo.

TOKYO, JAPAN and SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA, Apr 05, 2006 -- On March 31, 2006 New Japan Pro Wrestling Co. Ltd. (NJPW) Executives announced the formation of Wrestleland and Lock Up. These new brands were created to allow pro wrestlers from around the world a chance to perform in Japan and advance to the NJPW branded ring.

This is very different from what we have done in the past as each company has a different theme. We plan on producing these shows on a smaller scale than traditional NJPW. Wrestleland is themed around entertainment with drama that will make the fans smile with a lot of color, while Lock Up will feature more of a sports theme with tough competition said NJPW Vice President Naoki Sugabayashi.

The try out will take place at the New Japan Dojo in Santa Monica, CA from April 28 to 30, 2006. The schedule for the try out is:

April 28 Try out day (1:30 PM)
April 29 Call backs (10:30 AM)
April 30 Weekly Dojo show (Fighters may be asked to participate in the show)

This is very exciting for our company because it will allow us the opportunity to meet new people and send them to Japan. "With these two new brands there will be a lot of spots to fill so the chances are good for people thinking of attending the try outs," stated NJPW President, Simon Inoki. "I know some people think that try outs are a waste of time because the chances are so slim, but we are seeking new faces, styles and characters," continued Inoki.

Pro Wrestlers interested in attending the try out should RSVP by calling 310-264-9966 or emailing info@njpw.com. Also please be advised that a $20.00 processing fee will be requested.
