NJPW Now Posting English Translations of Wrestler Promos

NJPW continues to attract English speaking fans, and they are now offering more ways for such fans to follow the product. In addition to having an English announce team at most major events, they are now transcribing Japanese promos and posting them on their english website: njpw1972.com.

The translated promos aren’t offered right away unfortunately. For the Togi Makabe anniversary show which took place on February 21st it took the promotion until the 24th to post the translations.

Each match has comments by the wrestlers involved. The quotes are pulled from the post-event press conference. To find the English translations select “Match Report Column” when viewing the results page for the event. At the bottom of the page there will be English comments from the wrestlers involved. Honma and Makabe talking about how all their fans are males is particularly interesting…

Ever since their re-designed English site launched earlier this month, NJPW has been taking a lot of steps to attract english speaking fans.
