~ Takeshi Morishima appeared and announced his intentions to return to pro-wrestling on October 15th at the Korakuen Hall. The show will be in collaboration with SP.E. (Sports Entertainment) which sponsor Choshu’s shows, DDT’s DNA shows, and other Tokyo based events (They also sponsored Seiya Sanada after he left W-1).
~ Morishima stated that he seeks to return and give it his all in the pro-wrestling ring.
~ During a previous interview he acknowledged that his original retirement announcement back in April of 2015 due to being diagnosed with diabetic illness did not go as he originally planned. As an official retirement match would be announced then to come later that year, but due to poor health the match and event was plainly-put canceled and never mentioned again. Which come the end of that year his contract with Pro-Wrestling NOAH expired. Though Morishima stated that his frame of mind at the time bodied with his physical condition led to him being distant from pro-wrestling. Since his time away from the ring he dropped from 140kg down to 110kg, but for his return he looks to be around 125kg. As for what he was doing these last few years he mentioned that he jumped around between jobs from a pizza store clerk, a security guard at concert events in the Tokyo area, and lastly as a Nursing Home Caregiver in Gifu. Though while in Gifu he began helping out with a local promotion which rekindled his passion for pro-wrestling. While helping coach the local promotion he began to train more and eventually returned his body to a better condition for wrestling.

♦Winner: Fujinami (13:09) with a Dragon Sleeper on AKIRA.

~ Following the match, Antonio Inoki, Akira Maeda and Kengo Kimura also came into the ring to honor Fujinami’s career achievement.

~ Also after the match, reportedly Vader passed out for a moment, notably he took a big drop during the match, he was helped at ringside by AKIRA and others as he regained consciousness. He left the hall before Fujinami closed out the show with a speech. Though it is worth noting that Vader walked out on his own two feet, so may not be too severe.
(Not too sure on what the situation may be at this time. Though we will see once more details arise. Or if just continues the rest of the tour as normal.)

~ Fujinami thanked everyone for coming out and helping him celebrate these last 45 years in the ring.
