#5 Harold Meij
Who is he?
Trending
Harold Meij is the president of the New Japan Pro Wrestling promotion.
Of Dutch descent, Harold Meij is a stark contrast to previous presidents of the New Japan Pro Wrestling promotion because he is Gaijin, or a westerner.
However, his hard work increasing the amplitude of pro wrestling in Japan earned him his promotion to president of NJPW.
Meij is tri lingual, and has been focusing his efforts on continuing the expansion of New Japan Pro Wrestling into other markets than Japan, including the WWE-dominated North American market.
Influence he's had on the pro wrestling industry: Fans who have wondered why the New Japan Pro Wrestling superstars no longer curse or slip the middle finger on air can thank this man. He made this decision because of NJPW's expanding exposure across the world and he didn't want to alienate new viewers.
