New Japanese Promotion?

[Big Machine]

Madly. Madness. Maelstrom. Main. Majesty. These are the keywords of New Japan's latest brand, PREMIUM, produced by Masahiro Chono and replacing the long defunct WRESTLE LAND. PREMIUM is now being promoted as a brand of New Japan much in the same way as LOCK UP is and WRESTLE LAND was. Masahiro Chono is an influential man in the professional wrestling industry, and his special shows will bring together wrestlers in "premium" pairings that would be hard to set up elsewhere. The card below is an example of that. Tatsumi Fujinami, now considered a member of Legend, has appealed for Hiroshi Tanahashi to step up and face he and Liger in a tag match on the show.
