One of the SPW exibition matches at the ring.
Another first for the event would be the NJPW. While they brought down several of thier Superstars, the ring also saw our local talents from SPW featured. Judging from the crowd response around the ring on both days and the postive remarks i am seeing on facebook, i guess they will be back for Charaexpo 2016.
