Radican’s Analysis: I‘ve been reading J-Crowned and it serves as a wonderful introduction to the history of Japanese wrestling for English speaking fans. I’ve really enjoyed Charlton’s illustrations and the detailed context he gives behind the reign of each champion in all of Japan’s major promotions including the history of the IWGP Hvt. Title from NJPW and the GHC Hvt. Championship from NOAH. I highly recommend this book for all fans of Japanese wrestling, but it will be of particular use to fans that are just getting into the scene and want to build their knowledge base.
