Clark Connors Calls NJPW of America Closure Smart Move
“In terms of the actual business portion of it, it’s one of those things where Japan, New Japan as a whole, I think it’s a smart business decision on their part.— Clark Connors

New Japan Pro-Wrestling announced it is shutting down its NJPW of America operation, which includes closing the California training school and altering Tokon Shop Global. Original LA Dojo member Clark Connors told Fightful that he and fellow graduates like Gabe Kidd, Karl Fredericks, Alex Coughlin and Kevin Knight formed the core of the STRONG brand. Connors described the decision as a smart business choice for NJPW, noting the promotion knows where its main revenue comes from and that the pandemic severely impacted their American expansion plans.
