New Japan Pro Wrestling announced their full schedule of major events for 2020 during the the second night of their Wrestle Kingdom 14 event held earlier today in Tokyo, Japan.
The biggest announcement involved this year’s G1 Climax tournament taking place from September to October instead of the usual July to August time period due to the upcoming Summer Olympic Games taking place in Tokyo and several of the usual venues for G1 shows being unavailable to NJPW during that time.
