SITE NEWS

As every August I will once again be away for 10 days this month starting on August 8th through August 19th. What this means is that all news and results may not be regularly covered during my absence. I have a couple people who may help out if time permits, but I do not expect anyone else to carry the load that I normally undertake. I will try and update anything if I have wifi access, but normally that is hard to come by in the locations where I will be. Thank you all for understanding and also for your continued support.

Keiji Mutoh announced that the next MASTERS show will be held on August 21st at the Korakuen Hall and that the main event will see a BATT (Bad Ass Translate Trading) revival.

The group was originally formed in early 2001 (NJPW), consisting of Hiroshi Hase, Shinjiro Otani, Taiyo Kea, and Done Frye, and ran for the next year until Mutoh left All Japan in 2002. The original ideals of the team was a group without boarders as Mutoh brought together Kea from All Japan, which they competed in both promotions together, and even Shinzaki from Michinoku Pro.

This will be the first MASTERS show that Mutoh himself cannot compete as he is still recouping after double knee replacement surgery earlier in the year. Though he announced that he plans to be in the corner of  Shinjiro Otani, Jinsei Shinzaki, Taiyo Kea and Hiroshi Hase as they will be taking on a currently unannounced team. Mutoh seeks for the spirit of “pro wrestling love” to be flowing once more. Which Mutoh feels all four of these men are capable of bringing forth in his own absence from in the ring.

As for Mutoh himself, he added that his plan is still to return in the Spring of 2019, but at this time his training is still at a slow process. That he already suffered a previously mentioned set-back and he cannot afford anymore at this time.

NOAH NEWS

The event cards were updated for July’s Junior Tag League tour as well as two title defenses announced as well.

The first of which will take place on July 28th at the Korakuen Hall, as Katsuhiko Nakajima and Masa Kitamiya defend the GHC Tag belts against the veteran team of  Naomichi Marufuji and Akitoshi Saito. The match is coming about after Saito had picked up a direct singles and tag win over Kitamiya. Saito has seen much success as a tag champion in the promotion though he has not been crowned a champion in over 5 years. With the current generation struggle roaring ahead this could be a turning point for the veterans to either take further control or for the new generation to maintain themselves as fighting champions.

Zeus has stated that he feels it is his time to finally grab his destiny and takes charge and leading All Japan into the new era, and no place better to do this than in his hometown in Osaka. Miyahara and Zeus hold much history stemming back specifically to the match that saw Miyahara capture his first Triple Crown reign, decision match on 2/12/2016, and thus became the one to lead All Japan into their current (Shinsei) era. As the “Saikou” Triple Crown Champion Miyahara stated that it does not matter where the matches take place but that he is going to give all of his heart no matter what. He knows that several wrestler are seeking title matches against him, specifically Jake Lee on 7/1 though the two will meet in a non-title match, though his focus is to overcome both of these challenges.

~ The lastly the World Junior Heavyweight Champion Atsushi Aoki met with his next challenger for the belt in Yohei Nakajima. Aoki continued to remain critical of Yohei as he wants to see the serious side of him. Which he feels to be a rightful champion you have to be able to give it your all in every match.

That his focus is on rising up for All Japan and become a driving force to keep the promotion moving forward. The champion made it clear that he will protect the value of the belt and that he will not so easily let it go.
