New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) has announced plans to sign Stone Cold Steve Austin to work for the company. For those who do not remember or simply do not know, Austin worked with NJPW back in the 1990s while he was under contract with WCW.
New Japan is where Austin suffered two major injuries, one to his neck from taking a tombstone, the other to his triceps, which eventually lead to his dismal from WCW.
New Japan has high hopes for their deal with Austin as they are aiming for the biggest American draw ever. It should be taken into consideration that Bill Goldberg does have say in where Austin goes, as the two are known to be good friends and Goldberg is signed to work a couple of shows in Japan with HUSTLE-1.
It is a secret to no one that the two would love to work together, so it should not be a surprise if they end up working the same show later on down the road.
