NJPW World has made it easier for English-speaking fans to learn about the promotion’s early history.

NJPW announced on Monday that English introductions and historical context have been added to its archive, covering matches from the promotion’s launch in 1972 through the spring of 1983.

“English introductions and historical context has now been added across our archives up through the spring of 1983- go on dozens of deep dives now with @velvetvoiceWS!” NJPW wrote on social media.

“I’ve been hard at work in my home studio!” Walker Stewart wrote in response to the news.

Fans can now select the alternate English commentary track in the settings menu for matches from that era.

Stewart also serves as the English commentary voice for Stardom, a role he began just over a year ago. The next Stardom event scheduled to feature English commentary is set for September 27 at Korakuen Hall, headlined by a title vs. title match featuring NJPW Strong Women’s Champion AZM vs. World of Stardom Champion Saya Kamitani.
