Jordan Oliver has some big goals in NJPW.
JCW Champion Jordan Oliver is one of the most buzzworthy competitors on the independent scene in the United States. He often wrestles for GCW and various other promotions. Oliver made his NJPW debut at NJPW All Star Junior Festival USA 2023. There, he and Nick Wayne lost to El Desperado and MAO.
Speaking with Fightful's Iridian Fierro, Oliver was asked about making his NJPW debut alongside Nick Wayne. He called it a dream come true.
"This was insane. So we had done a Japan tour in JCW, maybe a year ago. As for the last match, and [El Desperado] comes up to us, and he's telling us very nice things and whatever, ‘Hopefully we can bring you to New Japan.’ Just nothing, really. Then for a year later, me and Nick Wayne wrestled against Desperado in a New Japan ring. This is a dream come true. It really is a dream come true," Oliver said.
Oliver was then asked whether he has any other goals in NJPW. He stated that he wants to compete in the Best of the Super Juniors. Oliver also expressed his interest in winning the IWG Junior Heavyweight Championship or competing in the G1 and potentially winning the world title.
"In New Japan, as far as things go, I really want to wrestle for the Best of the Super Juniors. I would love to, if I can wrestle against the Super Juniors, I want the Super Junior title. If I can’t wrestle with the Super Juniors, I want to wrestle in the G1. If I can wrestle in the G1, I want to be the World Heavyweight Champion. My goal in wrestling is to be the very best of all time. This is what I want. I'm gonna try. I'm gonna give it my best try," Oliver said.
As of this writing, there is no word on when Jordan Oliver will return to NJPW.
