Chris Dickinson has announced on his Instragram page that he has signed a contract with New Japan Pro Wrestling and will still be allowed to work on the Independent scene.

Given that New Japan is working on Work Visas for Foreign Talent to come over right now, he will likely be appearing there soon once it's all cleared.

He's always seemed so pumped to work for NJPW.

That's fantastic, dude's earned it and this is apparently what he's wanted.

He was so primed to be in a big spotlight around WM weekend in 2020, but the pandemic just screwed so many things up; but he got his foot in the door in ROH, a longtime NJPW partner, and got on Strong consistently, and now he's gotten what he was aiming for, so that's awesome.

Plus my favorite memory of WM weekend in 2019 is starting a "BOTH THESE DADS!" chant for him and Butcher during Bloodsport.

Wouldn't you know we're riding...on the Marrakesh Express?

He was gonna break out a few years ago bur he got into it with fans at the ECW arena and it derailed him a bit.

Big dude, able to take the shots from the pros and charismatic as heck.

Hopefully he can get to work in Japan, as he's one of the talent used in STRONG I'm the most looking forward to seeing there.

He got such a bad wrap for that Kimber match that set him back years.
