NJPW Wrestle Kingdom 17 Pre-Show (2023)
Antonio Inoki memorial spectacular card. Nothing gets the new year started like a good old fashioned New Japan Ranbo! Since 2021, a Ranbo with random timed entries, and plenty of surprises on January 4 had determined a four way on January 5 to decide who first holds the KOPW trophy for the year.
