Secondly, NJPW revealed a partnership with Jeff Jarrett's Global Force Wrestling, which it approached about bringing the event to a new market.

Tokyo Dome
In professional wrestling, New Japan Pro-Wrestling has run the January 4 Tokyo Dome Show, currently promoted as "Wrestle Kingdom", every year since 1992. The event is the biggest in "puroresu", and roughly analogous to WrestleMania in the United States.
