NJPW Releases Full Cards For New Beginning USA Tour

New Japan Pro Wrestling has announced the full card line up for their slate of upcoming shows in the United States. The tour, entitled The New Beginning USA, kicks off on January 30th at the Globe Theatre in Los Angeles.

The announced card, however, has left a number of NJPW fans unimpressed with the lack of any Japanese wrestlers. With wrestlers such as Jonathan Gresham, Colt Cabana, Shane Taylor, etc involved, it appears that NJPW is already putting their working relationship with Ring Of Honor to use. NJPW will be running their Road To The New Beginning tour in Japan between 01/26 and 01/30, which may explain the absense of Japanese talent on their USA run.

The main event of Night One (1/30) will feature a special tag match, advertised as ‘One Night Only’ that sees Roppongi Vice team up for the first time. Rocky Romero and Beretta have not teamed since Beretta moved to the heavyweight division.

New Beginning USA appears to also act as a showcase opportunity for members of New Japan’s L.A. Dojo, with many of their students making their debut across this tour.
