Wolf Aron, a gold medalist at the Tokyo Olympics 100kg class, held a press conference in Tokyo on the 23rd and announced his change to a professional wrestler and joining New Japan Pro Wrestling. He signed a contract with President Tanahashi Hiroshi and officially became a member of New Japan. His debut match was announced on January 4th by President Tanahashi Hiroshi. This is an unusual challenge for a judo Olympic gold medalist to switch to professional wrestling. Wolf himself loves pro wrestling and revealed that he had hopes since he was working on judo. He also said, “I myself have won the Olympics, so I have to give up on that feeling once.” “If I start with the pride of being a judo gold medalist at the beginning, that would get in the way for me, so I’ll just leave all of those things out of my way, and build up the foundation from a truly unrealistic state, not just from 1, but from zero. I don’t think I can build a beautiful building, but I can’t build a sturdy building.” In addition to this, Wolf was asked questions such as when he decided to switch, whether he was thinking about his ring name and special skills, and whether he would start with a young lion (young Japanese) who lives in the dojo or dormitory. ★Please subscribe to our channel https://www.youtube.com/@dailysports-fight
