dawho5 Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 Did AJPW do a lot of touring outside of Tokyo? I thought most of the big time promotions clustered around there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordi Posted December 24, 2017 Report Share Posted December 24, 2017 AJPW and NJPW both toured all over the country in the mid-80s. AJPW, NJPW, NOAH, and Dragon Gate all run national tours regularly these days. Big shows tend to take place in Tokyo, though. Osaka gets a bone thrown its way once in a while, too.
