AJPW NEWS

All Japan announced that the “Evolution” team of Suwama, Hikaru Sato & Yusuke Okada will be taking on Kazuyuki Fujita, Kendo Kashin & NOSAWA Rongai on March 25 in Saitama.

The invading trio made their presence known against Suwama on the February 3 show in Yokohama, as they assaulted Suwama. This led to Hikaru Sato and Yusuke Okada to try and aid Suwama in repel the assault. After the attack Suwama knew that he needed to recruit the two for a revived “Evolution” to enact some revenge. There has been much publicity between Suwama and Fujita over the years which stems back to their last encounter in November of 2015 during Genichiro Tenryu’s retirement show.

Then Takao Omori took part in a press conference, as he announced that he will be making his return on the March 25 show after being out with a minor neck injury in early January. Omori stated that he wants a shot at the Asia Tag Champions in Jun Akiyama and Yuji Nagata for his return match. Omori did not name who he may be teaming with, but did say that it is who he felt will be an appropriate and trustworthy partner.

This match joins the previously announced main event which will see Doering defend the Triple Crown belt against Miyahara.

The full event cards were announced for the two April shows in Tokyo and Osaka. The shows will feature Tatsumi Fujinami both teaming with Bob Backlund on the 4/20 show at the Korakuen Hall and against him at the 4/21 show in Osaka.

Fujinami and Backlund have a rivaled history which stems back to the two in the late 1970′s and early 80′s in the WWF. The main event of the Korakuen Hall show will see Fujinami teaming with Backlund and Riki Choshu as they take on a former WWF trio of TAJIRI, Jinsei Shinzaki and KENSO. The Osaka show will then feature Fujinami, Choshu and Masakatsu Funaki taking on Backlund, Yoshiaki Fujiwara and Hiro Saito. This will also be a special match for Funaki as he and Backlund faced each other in the UWF back in May of 1989 in Osaka.

Then it was also announced that The Cobra will be making his return on these two shows. A former WWF Junior heavyweight and NWA World Junior Heavyweight Champion. Following the retirement of the First Tiger Mask in 1983, The Cobra became the successor of New Japan’s junior division for the next couple of years until he unmasked himself and began competing under his real name George Takano and as a heavyweight wrestler.

NJPW NEWS

The full card has been announced for NJPW’s Anniversary Event on 3/6. After IWGP Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada successfully defended his title against SANADA at New Beginning, the Rainmaker declared he wanted to face IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion and fellow CHAOS member Will Ospreay. That match will be the main event of the Anniversary Event.

Also taking place on that show will be the IWGP Intercontinental Championship Match, with Togi Makabe challenging Minoru Suzuki. Makabe has been trying to challenge Suzuki ever since he won the title at the first New Beginning show of the year, and finally got the champion to accept his challenge.

Tetsuya Naito defeated YOSHI-HASHI at the New Beginning in Osaka, but was attacked by Taichi while making his exit. Taichi, who has stated over recent months that he wishes to move up into the heavyweight division, was recently defeated in his 15th Anniversary Match by Naito on a show he and TAKA Michinoku produced. Now Taichi aims to take revenge against Naito as the two are set to clash in a special singles match at NJPW’s Anniversary Event.

The Suzuki-gun team of El Desperado & Yoshinobu Kanemaru and the LIJ team of BUSHI & Hiromu Takahashi have both picked up victories over IWGP Jr. Tag Champions YOH & SHO recently, one at the New Beginning in Osaka and the other at New Japan Road. Both teams voiced their claims to challenge for the titles, and now all three will meet in a 3WAY Match at the Anniversary Event for the Jr. Tag Championship.

WRESTLE-1 NEWS

It was made official that Manabu Soya will be challenging Shotaro Ashino for the W-1 Championship on March 14 at the Korakuen Hall.

Soya has recently found himself on a downturn, but has found himself again with reuniting with AKIRA and bringing back the “new WILD order”. Soya stated that he is not in favor of Ashino’s acts as the reigning champion with the champions accepting of lawless acts. Ashino though is now sitting at seven successful defenses as champion and current dominate hold over the belt. He mentioned that there is still much for him to prove as champion and he is eager to further elevate the generation struggle that he feels with suffer if he loses to Soya.

Will Soya manage to reclaim the W-1 belt, which he last held in January of 2016, or will Ashino further cement his legacy with yet another successful defense?

AJPW NEWS

All Japan held a press conference today to highlight the upcoming title matches scheduled for the Yokohama show on February 3.

Though among the updates is that Takao Omori will be out of action as he is dealing with a herniated disc in his neck. Omori fought through two tag title matches in the beginning of the year, but due to the World Tag title loss and the defeat in the Asia Tag the veteran has decided to take a much needed break. Omori stated that he is currently undergoing consultation in regards to the state of the injury, which he has been dealing with since the World Tag League, but that he could be out for an extended period of time given his age and prior injuries. The remainder of the January event cards have been updated to reflect upon Omori’s absence.

Jun Akiyama then announced his intentions of going back after the Asia Tag belts at the Yokohama show, as he will be teaming with New Japan’s Yuji Nagata to challenge Naoya Nomura and Yuma Aoyagi. Akiyama and Nagata being no strangers in the past have been both together and at odds at several points in the past. Which much can now be appointed to Nagata and Aoyagi who have faced each other at New Japan’s LION’S GATE shows. Aoyagi has found himself on the losing end in challenging the New Japan veteran but aims to finally prove himself as a fighting champion. The Asia Tag Champions currently hold a twin win edge over Akiyama in recent matches as they now look to defend their belts in what is their toughest challenge yet.

Suwama and Ishikawa and then Kento Miyahara and Yoshitatsu took part in the signing ceremony for their World Tag match at the Yokohama show. Suwama kicked off the press by stating that he is not fully certain that the challengers deserve the right to challenge. This coming from the World Tag League in which the Suwama and Doering claimed the win over them, 12/12. To Suwama there is no merit in a rematch taking place, but the challengers have been adamant in their recent provocations to them. Before the title match, Suwama and Yoshitatsu will have a singles encounter on 1/14 as Suwama aims to break the challenger before hand. All four men look to make 2018 their year and this match will indeed be a strong statement for just that.

Then lastly, Joe Doering and KAI took part in their signing ceremony for the Triple Crown title match. KAI stated that he is thankful and eager to be allowed the chance to make the challenge in his hometown area. Then also that he even finds the timing of this challenge strange as his former ally and rival in SANADA also gets a chance at the IWGP Heavy belt the following week. Doering and KAI go back many years from when the two shared time together in the dojo over 10 years ago now. Both have went down different paths but it can now be a sense of destiny that they would meet now. Doering stated that he hopes that KAI brings his best in challenge because he will have to be just that if he plans to take the belt from him.

Below is the current event card for the Yokohama show…

All Japan Pro-Wrestling “2018 YOKOHAMA TWILIGHT BLUES SPECIAL”, 2/3/2018 [Sat] 17:00 @ Yokohama Cultural Gymnasium in Kanagawa

AJPW NEWS

All Japan held a press conference today as the full event cards have been filled out for the November tour of shows.

Among the major updates is Nomura & Aoyagi defending the Asia Tag belts against a LAND’S END Korea team of Kim Nan Seok & Dr. MONZ Jr. on November 3rd, TAJIRI will be putting the World Junior belt on the line against Yohei Nakajima on November 5th, and then Doering will be making his first defense of the Triple Crown against Yoshitatsu on November 9th at the Korakuen Hall.

Though before Yoshitatsu has the scheduled match for the Triple Crown he is set to face Jun Akiyama on November 5th. Though this had led Akiyama to declare that if he wins that he will take the challengers spot in the following title challenge instead. With Yoshitatsu agreeing to the ultimatum that has been set. As Yoshitatsu himself noted that it is a quick challenge for himself as he knows he has much left yet to prove, but that being something he aims to do every time he steps in the ring going forward as a freelance wrestler.

TAJIRI managed to recapture the World Junior Heavyweight belt and is scheduled to make his first defense against Yohei Nakajima on November 5th in Nagoya. Yohei made a forceful declaration to be the challenger on the 10/21 show though during today’s press conference the champion showed nothing more than plain dissatisfaction for the challenger. TAJIRI stated that he has plans as champion and a match against Yohei was not among them. That after he won the belt he initially aimed to call out Atsushi Aoki to be his first defense, but if anything this will be the first notch on his claim to acquire the all-time defense record for the belt.

With Yuji Okabayashi being forced out of competition due to injury, this has left a major gap in the upcoming “World’s Strongest Tag League” which is set to begin on November 19th. Though BJW is going to receive the chance to fill the spot as it was announced that Daisuke Sekimoto and Takuya Nomura will be taking on the recent winners of BJW’s own tag league in Daichi Hashimoto and Hideyoshi Kamitani on the November 9th. The winning team with then move on to fill the current spot in the league.

Naoya Nomura and Yuma Aoyagi will be taking a step to bringing the “All Asia” part back to the Asia Tag belts as they are set to take on Ryoji Sai’s hand-picked Seoul, Korea team of Kim Nan Seok & Dr. MONZ Jr. The two might not have the most recognition outside of their home country, but the two look to take this opportunity to get their names out there as a formidable team. Seok stats are 177cm, 90kg, with his favorite moves being a Package Piledriver and Lift Up Crash Bomb and the masked man MONZ is at 172cm, 85kg with his emphasis being on high-flying with a 450 Splash and Yoshitonic. The champions have opened the door for any challengers to come forward as they aim to prove themselves against any and all challengers.

Then lastly it was announced that Osamu Nishimura will be putting both the !BANG! TV World Heavyweight & NKPWA World Heavyweight belts on the line against Atsushi Maruyama on November 19th. Maruyama stated that he holds much respect for Nishimura and all that he has achieved in the ring as a master technician. Maruyama aims to prove himself as well as he aims to to go step by step with the classical style that the champion brings to the ring.

Among some bad news, trainee Yuki Kanzaki was announced to have suffered an acute subdural hematoma (blood clot near the brain) and has been forced to pull out of his debut due to doctor’s recommendation. Though with that his entire career as a pro-wrestler might honestly be in jeopardy, Kanzaki stated that he does not want to give up as he was in tears. President Akiyama told the young man that his life is more important at this time and that should come before anything else. Kanzaki will be heading to his home in Hokkaido to discuss his future with his family. Akiyama stated that the door is open for him to work as a staff within the promotion if he so chooses to go that route.
