Vinny Pacifico reflects on his debut for New Japan Pro Wrestling.
Pacifico, who is one of the most popular independent wrestlers in the world, made his debut for NJPW during the Buy In for the NJPW All Star Junior Festival event on August 19, 2023, losing to Goldy in singles bout.
In a new interview with WrestleZone, Pacifico said that his debut for the promotion was probably the best night of his entire career.
“I can’t even begin to say. That was probably the best night of my career, hands down. The people I was around, the amount I learned, the wealth of knowledge that was backstage at that show was unexplainable. I’m very lucky to have had that opportunity. Kinda ready to do it again.”
Pacifico went on to note that he had no idea he was facing until the match was announced.
“I had no idea. I had no idea of anything. They just hit me up and say, hey Vinny are you available this day? I said yes I am and that was that. It was late, but it could have been stuff behind the scenes that I didn’t know about. They called me about a month prior.”
