A guest coaching spot for Barnett while he’s in Japan.
This month, Josh Barnett will be serving as a guest coach at the New Japan Pro-Wrestling Noge dojo in Japan. NJPW sent out an article about the news and Barnett gave the following comment to their website:
It’s an honor for me to be a guest coach in the New Japan Dojo, continuing a lineage of development that goes back to the work of my own teacher Karl Gotch. I’m looking forward to seeing NJPW’s strength at its source, and to impart the same catch-as-catch-can style that is my background and that of so many legends.
The first time Barnett wrestled for New Japan was in 2003. His first pro wrestling match was an IWGP Heavyweight Championship bout against Yuji Nagata.
Barnett is scheduled to be in action for Pro Wrestling NOAH on October 14th.
