Eggshells: Pro Wrestling In The Tokyo Dome

THREE DECADES. HUNDREDS OF MATCHES. COUNTLESS STORIES.

With huge global attention and a legacy of significant moments, the Tokyo Dome is inarguably one of professional wrestlingâ€™s most iconic venues. Over three decades, ten different wrestling promotions have staged over 60 shows in the building. Now, CHRIS CHARLTON (Lionâ€™s Pride: The Turbulent History of New Japan Pro Wrestling) tells the story of those stories.

From UWF to NJPW, from the biggest gate in Japanese wrestling history to the biggest empty arena match, EGGSHELLS goes show by show and blow by blow. Extensive research uncovers behind the scenes information never before seen in English, and exclusive interviews with Kota Ibushi, Kenny Omega and many more reveal insight never before available anywhere. This is an exhaustive but accessible guide that does the â€˜Big Eggâ€™ the justice it deserves.
