Press Release – NJPW TAMASHII From the shadow of Māngere Mountain, New Zealand's place in global wrestling history will be cemented at COLD WAR, where four elite tag teams will battle to become the first-ever NJPW TAMASHII Tag Team Champions. Held at the Māngere Arts Centre; South Auckland's cultural hub, COLD WAR marks a major turning point for New Japan Pro-Wrestling's Oceania brand. The event combines international prestige with strong local roots, showcasing the power of Pacific identity and Japanese Strong Style in one high-stakes tournament. 'COLD WAR tells people what we've known for a long time,' says Toks Fale, founder of the NZ Dojo, also known domestically as Fale Dojo. 'The next generation is already here. And they're ready.' What makes this event historic: • The majority of wrestlers competing are NZ Dojo / Fale Dojo students and graduates, representing different intakes over the past decade. • These athletes have trained under the same system that produced NJPW stars, living proof of how far South Auckland's wrestling scene has come. • TAMASHII's core roster has been shaped entirely through this pathway, making COLD WAR a true celebration of homegrown talent on a global stage.
