New Japan Pro Wrestling issued the following press release announcing that company superstar Minoru Suzuki, who missed yesterday’s New Japan Cup finals due to a fever, will also miss today’s Dominion special from Osaka-jo Hal. Details are below.
On July 10, Minoru Suzuki developed a fever, and as a cautionary measure, will not be present for the New Japan Cup or Dominion events on July 11 & 12.
