Global Professional Wrestling Alliance

[BDS]

Today the leaders of some of the most recognizable wrestling promotions in Japan officially announced the birth of the Global Professional Wrestling Alliance (GPWA). Pro Wrestling NOAH's CEO Mitsuharu Misawa was inaugurated as the first Chairman of the new alliance, with ZERO1-MAX's Yoshiyuki Nakamura announced as the company's President a position he hold also in FIRST ON STAGE.

"Future standardized organization simplifies the participation of the various promotions," said Misawa, " and it assures the spread and revival of worldwide wrestling..." Simply stated, the concept is to form an alliance that will keep the promotions from stepping on each other toes and fostering and environment of cooperation rather than competition. And to sometimes put on "Super Shows" where all the promotions will send fighters to compete representing their own companies under the GPWA banner.

Talk about this has been going all around the net. I'm excited because it's a great idea. The only problem, at least from ROH fans, is that Dragon Gate have not joined the group. This has led a few people on the ROH message board to question whether or not ROH's relationship with Dragon Gate will be soured by the GPWA. Hopefully it won't
