[ZERO1 News] ZERO1 held a press conference to announce some matches that will be taking place on April 15th as well as the headlining match for Masato Tanaka’s 20th Anniversary on May 4th.
A big tag match has been signed for the show on April 15th, that will see the continuation of the ZERO1 vs. Big Japan feud, as Shinjiro Otani teams with Masato Tanaka to take on one of the strongest tag teams in Japan today in Big Japan’s Daisuke Sekimoto and Yuji Okabayashi. Both teams already aim to prove something as the best that Japan has to offer and this match surely has the early makings of an explosive and physical encounter.
With that match determined it was also announced that Masato Tanaka will be celebrating his 20th Anniversary, as a pro wrestler, on May 4th as he takes on Shinjiro Otani. Tanaka nominated Otani as they have nothing but history with one another, Tanaka spent more than half of his later career working along with Otani, and he wants to honor his achievement against someone he knows as much as they know him.
Also announced for the 4/15 show is Steven Walters, from North Carolina, USA, getting a title shot for the Double Junior crown. Walters has been training daily in the ZERO1 Dojo and it is his dream to compete in Japan. He will be looking to come right out the gate with a huge title opportunity.
The last officially announced match for the 4/15 show, at this time, will see the up and comer, Yuhi, taking on a women’s wrestling legend in Manami Toyota. Yuhi has already shown that she has a bright future in a head of her and she will definitely have a chance to further develop her career when she takes on Toyota.
Another match that could be in the works, Shito Ueda has made an open challenge, for himself and Yusaky Obata, to go up against KENSO & Ryoji Sai. Ueda wants a chance to reclaim the Intercontinental tag belts that he and Obata did not lose, forfeit due to injury, and they want to prove themselves as the rightful champions. This potential match could end up determining the next contenders for the tag belts which are currently held by Akebono & Daisuke Sekimoto “ZERO64”.

[DRADITION News] A press conference was held for DRADITION to announce that they will be holding a show on May 29, as well two of the matches that will be held on the show.
Fujinami, Tiger Mask, Funaki and AKIRA were on hand for the press conference. Fujinami started off by saying that this is the first step for himself to make a new impact, something exciting, and that is why he chose Funaki as one of his opponents. Fujinami is familiar with Funaki from watching over him in practice in the mid-1980’s and up until Funaki left to MMA. Funaki has sense made himself a name in Japan from his time in MMA and now being the reigning All Japan Triple Crown Champion.
Because of their connection when Funaki was starting out, Funaki feels that this match has a pretty special feeling already for himself, and hopefully for the fans as well.
There was also mention that Tatsumi Fujinami’s eldest son, Leona Fujinami [19], could “potentially” be making his debut on the show.
Below you can see all that has been announced at this time.

[ZERO1 News] ZERO1 announced that Shito Ueda and Yusaku Obata will be forced to vacate the NWA Interncontinental Tag belts due to Obata being unable to compete throughout the month of February due to injury.
A title match was to be determined for the upcoming show at the Korakuen Hall on February 3rd, but due to injury they will be forced to vacate the belts.
Obata suffered a head injury at January 12th show and was taken the the hospital for tests. No abnormalities were found, but it was recommended that he he take the next month off to be on the safe side. Ueda is not happy to relinquish the belts, but it is one of those things that cannot be helped. It seems that once Obata returns they will once again peruse the tag belts.
A tag title match will be happening on the February 3rd show though as the team of Akebono & Daisuke Sekimoto “ZERO64” will be taking on Kohei Sato & Zeus.
Also announced for the show is Shinjiro Otani going one on one with the BJW’s young and cocky Kazuki Hashimoto. Kazuki is no stranger to ZERO1 with facing off against Daichi Hashimoto, no relation, and this match will be continuation if the ZERO1 vs. BJW feud.
Sabu will also be on the ZERO1 show as well before the Osaka Deathmatch Show on February 8th. Sabu will be teaming with Onita & Tanaka as they take on Kintaro Kanemaru, Leatherface & BADBOY Hido.
More matches will be announced soon.

World’s Strongest Tag League 2012 ~ Talent and Matches Announced
http://www.puroresuspirit.com/2012/10/29/worlds-strongest-tag-league-2012/
[ZERO1 News] Pro Wrestling ZERO1 held a press conference for the upcoming matches between Akebono vs. Atsushi Onita and Daichi Hashimoto vs. Daisuke Sekimoto on November 6.
Daichi would be up first for the press conference, Sekimoto did not attend, but Daichi can be noted as saying that he is looking to make his breakout as a singles competitor now. He has a tough challenge set before him with Sekimoto, but the upcoming match could be a major break for his career whether he wins or loses.
Next up is the meeting of Akebono and Atsushi Onita. The two are set to face off in the main event of the show in a Lumberjack Deathmatch.
During the press conference more information was released in regards to the rules of the match.
Akebono and Onita will each be allowed to have 4 Lumberjacks at ringside in their respected corners of the ring. None of the lumberjacks will be allowed to enter the ring. Weapons will be allowed, but the only way to win is by pinfall, submission, or KO in the ring.
Akebono previously announced that his tag partner in All Japan, Ryota Hama, will be one of his lumberjacks, so that leaves 3 others and that falls perfectly with his ZERO64 team of Takuya Sugawara, Mineo Fujita & Daisuke Sekimoto. As for Onita’s lumberjacks I can only suspect that Ichiro Yaguchi will be one of them.
Akebono even issued a challenge of his own, that if he loses ZERO64 will be disbanded.
Below is the full card for show (the match order will be determined on 11/6).

[ZERO1 News] Pro Wrestling ZERO1 announced 3 more matches for the upcoming Korakuen Hall show on November 6.
Among the announced matches, Daichi Hashimoto will get his wish to face Daisuke Sekimoto one on one in the ZERO1 ring. After Daichi’s involvement in the BJW Tag League on the 10/29, he called out Sekimoto to a singles match. It did not take long for ZERO1 to make the match official and it will surely be one of the toughest if not physically demanding matches for son of the late Shinya Hashimoto.
