- Rolling Stone wrote up an article on NJPW's push for American viewers and Chris Jericho helping them do just that. Here's an excerpt from the article:

"With a hall-of-fame name such as Jericho sticking around for more matches, the Japanese wrestling company's push to grow its English-speaking fanbase has gotten even more aggressive, following a year that saw NJPW put on its first live events in the United States, with broadcasting support from American entertainment mogul Mark Cuban and his AXS television network (where NJPW currently airs Friday nights at 8 p.m. ET). But more noteworthy than the company's business strategy, NJPW has captured the eyes ? and the heart ? of professional wrestling fans across the globe through competitive and unpredictable entertainment."
