You can now watch a treasure trove of classic New Japan Wrestle Kingdom matches for free
With New Japan Pro Wrestling's annual Wrestle Kingdom megashow just a few weeks away on January 4th, NJPW just gave wrestling fans in the United States access to dozens of classic Wrestle Kingdom matches over the years, including a number of bouts featuring current WWE stars AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura and Finn Balor.
Wrestle Kingdom is essentially the WrestleMania of Japan, and some of the greatest wrestling matches of the past decade have taken place inside the Tokyo Dome. NJPW content is typically locked behind a subscription paywall, but viewers can stream the matches for free leading up to Wrestle Kingdom 11, which is headlined by Kazuchika Okada vs. Kenny Omega, and Hiroshi Tanahashi vs. Tetsuya Naito.
Reddit users MTMxD and Jacobs_Bawks compiled a list of some of the biggest matches now available, and you can click on each link below to watch the match. Note that the commentary is in Japanese. You can browse a full list of events and matches here.
