Independent professional wrestling is a definite night out with fun, surprises and insane athletic theatrics. One of Vancouver’s newest leagues, Nation Extreme Wrestling (NEW), is taking the city by storm with sold out shows at storied venues like the Commodore Ballroom.
With wildly successful cross-cultural wrestling events such as Cinco de Mayo already under its belt, NEW is reaching out once again, this time across the pond to bring some of Japan’s finest pro-wrestling talents, Minoru Suzuki, Maki Itoh and Miyu Yamashita, to the Commodore for a sold out show at the Commodore Ballroom, Friday March 24, 2023.
Jody Vance sits down with Rob Fai, co-founder and president of NEW, to get a closer look at independent pro-wrestling, NEW, its wrestlers and upcoming events.
Enjoy!
