The pro wrestling scene in Nepal is one that’s growing very fast. A passionate fan base is known to fill up events in the Himalayan country. The Nepal Ring Wrestling Association looks to Japan’s pro wrestling scene for guidance and is influenced by puroresu and Japanese strong style but also has aspects of American wrestling blended in.
Combined with the active and growing pro wrestling scenes in Pakistan and India, this region of Asia is one that WrestleMap will be keeping a close eye on!
