Japanese pro wrestling promotions Pro Wrestling NOAH and DDT are merging to form CyberFight on September 1.
During a press conference on Monday, President Sanshiro Takagi cited this merger is happening because of “the economic situation driven by COVID” and that they “wanted to streamline costs where we could.”
Naomichi Marufuji and Akito will serve as Executive Vice Presidents going forward as the promotion looks to surpass New Japan as the top of the industry.
Takagi:
The operating companies of DDT and NOAH will merge as CyberFight on Sep.1, which will operate NOAH/DDT/TJPW/GanPro.
Rest easy, each promotion will be unaffected, as-is!
We're gonna surpass NJPW that's at the top of the industry!#ddtpro#noah_ghc #tjpw #GanPro https://t.co/0dRyh3vO7W— DDT/TJPW English Update (D/TEU) (@ddtpro_eng) July 27, 2020
