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.

Awesome news for the Dirty Daddy. 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.

Big fan of Dickenson. 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.

Dickinson feels like a gift wrapped New Japan gaijin signing. Big dude, able to take the shots from the pros and charismatic as heck.

From what I've seen of him, I've been pretty impressed, so makes total sense.

Awesomesauce!
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.

I'm so happy for the guy. He got such a bad wrap for that Kimber match that set him back years.

He’s tailor made to be the next big gaijin star.
