Harold Meij’s exit from his position as NJPW President was not a voluntary choice on his part, according to a stockholders report. Suzuki, a Japanese reporter, revealed that during the Bushiroad stockholders meeting, it was said that Meij did not resign on his own and was fired by Bushiroad’s founder Takaaki Kidani. Meij noted that it was not his intention to leave and that he would have liked to spend the rest of his life working for New Japan.
Harold Meij was announced in late September to be stepping down from the company. He will be replaced by NJPW of America President Takami Ohbari.
