Wrestle Peter Pan is just the latest event to be canceled in Japan. NJPW has already canceled events through May 4, though they are continuing to pay staff and contracted talent. AJPW canceled the annual Champion Carnival tournament and NOAH has canceled events through May.
Fightful will continue to update fans on cancelations around the wrestling world as they are known.
