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 wrestling's most iconic venues. Over three decades, ten different wrestling promotions have staged over 60 shows in the building. Now, CHRIS CHARLTON (Lion'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 'Big Egg' the justice it deserves. PRAISE FOR LION'S PRIDE 'There's never a shortage of slobberknockers' -Jim Ross, WWE Hall of Famer, lead announcer AXS TV 'Taught me everything I need to know about NJPW history and more' -Kevin Kelly, lead English announcer, NJPW World 'Chris Charlton is one of the foremost historians of Japanese pro wrestling... an invaluable resource' -John Pollock, POST Wrestling
