    [All Japan News] Following this last weekends big show, All Japan has officially announced four upcoming title matches. The first will take place on February 10th as the newly crowned Asia Tag Champions team of Hiroshi Yamato & Hikaru Sato, better known as “Baka Hentai”, will be facing off against the team they beat of Minoru Tanaka & Koji Kanemoto, the Junior Stars. Baka Hentai pulled out a huge win over the champions, but it should be interesting to see if they can work together and prove they are the rightful champions.Following the main event from the show on January 26th, Masakatsu Funaki successfully defended the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship against Akebono. It didn’t take long for a new challenger to step forward in, a former Triple Crown Champion, Suwama, and the title match will be taking place on March 17th in Ryogoku. Suwama recently formed a union with Masahiro Chono, along with Joe Doering, and with that has come a new drive in Suwama to reclaim the Triple Crown. This will mark Funaki’s 5th defense of the Triple Crown, and the second shot for Suwama during Funaki’s current reign, with 9/23 being the date for their recent encounter.The last title match announced over the weekend is “GET WILD”, Takao Omori and Manabu Soya, defending the World Tag Belts against the team of Jun Akiyama & Go Shiozaki on the March 17th show. Akiyama, Shiozaki, as well as the other 3 wrestlers appeared at the January 26th show to announce their intentions of competing in All Japan.The President of All Japan, Masayuki Uchida, took no time in announcing big matches to add even more hype for the guys coming in.Then lastly, Uchida announced that Shuji Kondo will be defending the World Junior belt against Yoshinobu Kanemaru on February 23rd. These two are far from strangers between one another with their last title match seeing Kondo beat Kanemaru for the GHC Junior belt on September 29th. Kanemaru debuted in All Japan back on July of 1996 and will be looking to claim the belt that eluded him during the early years of his career.Below are the upcoming title matches that are scheduled at this time.———————————————————————All Japan Pro-Wrestling “2013 Excite Series”, 2/10/2013 [Sun] 18:00 @ Hakata Starlanes in Fukuoka(-) Asia Tag Championship Match: [90th Champions] “Baka Hentai” Hiroshi Yamato & Hikaru Sato vs. [Challengers] “Junior Stars” Minoru Tanaka & Koji Kanemoto~ 1st Defense.———————————————————————All Japan Pro-Wrestling “2013 Excite Series”, 2/23/2013 [Sat] 18:00 @ Korakuen Hall in Tokyo(-) All Japan Pro-Wrestling vs Burning 5 Big Singles Match Series ~ World Junior Heavy Championship Match: [34th Champion] Shuji Kondo vs. [Challenger] Yoshinobu Kanemaru~ 1st Defense.———————————————————————All Japan Pro-Wrestling “2013 Pro Wrestling LOVE in Ryogoku ~BASIC & DYNAMIC~”, 3/17/2013 [Sun] 17:00 @ Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo(-) World Tag Championship Match: [64th Champions] “GET WILD” Takao Omori & Manabu Soya vs. [Challengers] “BURNING” Jun Akiyama & Go Shiozaki~ 3rd Defense. (-) Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship Match: [45th Champion] Masakatsu Funaki vs. [Challenger] Suwama~ 5th Defense.www.puroresuspirit.com/2012/12/24/all-japan-event-cards-for-january-february-2013/

Taiji Ishimori has been appointed as the next challenger for the GHC Jr. belt, which will either be Shuji Kondo or Hiroshi Yamato depending on who wins the double title match on January 2nd.Ishimori said that if he had a preference, he would rather face off against Kondo as they have history going all the way back to Toryumon and then here recently in an 8 man tag in ALL TOGETHER. Ishimori has his eyes set on claiming the belt before his 30th Birthday which is coming up on February 10th. It should also be noted that May 2013 will also mark Ishimori’s 10th Anniversary as a pro wrestler.Ishimori has a lot to prove not only to the fans but against Shuji Kondo as well. With everything that is happening in NOAH at this time, Ishimori wants to solidify himself as the one who will big up the rings of NOAH’s junior division.

    [All Japan News] All Japan announced the first title matches to be held in the new year.Following the show this past weekend the next set of title matches have been set in place as well as a Triple Crown contendership struggle.The first title match announced for the new year will see a double Junior heavyweight showdown as a Hiroshi Yamato and Shuji Kondo will be putting their titles on the line against each other. Both men will walk in with their belts, but the victor shall walk out with both around their waist.Manabu Soya was unable to defeat Masakatsu Funaki for the Triple Crown Champion, and so GET WILD is on nothing more than fumes at this time. Tokyo Sports awarded GET WILD as the team of 2012, but due to Soya’s loss against Funaki they will be forced to disband. Funaki though gave the reigning tag champions a challenge for the tag belts, which will see take place on January 2nd. Nothing is for certain to how GET WILD’s reign will be decided as the stipulation to the last title match was that GET WILD would be forced to disband, but a win over Funaki/Kono might give them the right to stay together while they are champions (just speculation).The next day on January 3rd will see Seiya Sanada defending the GAORA TV title against Tomoaki Honma. Sanada has beaten every challenger thrown in front of him so far from the rising Yasufumi Nakanoueno to the dangerous power of Kazushi Miyamoto, but on the 3rd Sanada will face off against the other half of Tumeric Storm. Honma has been on a mission since re-appearing in All Japan and has become one of the biggest rulebreakers currently in the promotion. Not only will Sanada have to contend with Honma, but it can almost be certain that Miyamoto will try and create some sort of distraction to try and make sure the champion falls.The Asia Tag belts will once again be decided between Junior Stars and Team 246. Both teams just recently faced each other in a solid match-up which saw Kanemoto get the win over Shuji Kondo. One might have expected that win would have gave a title shot against Kondo for the GHC Jr. belt, but Hayashi said that he wants one more shot against the champions. Their last match was pretty solid and the rematch should be nothing less than solid.Then lastly, a title contendership match has been set in place to determine who will face Masakatsu Funaki for the Triple Crown title on January 26th. Following his win over Soya, Funaki once again showed that he is still the fighting champion. Following the match Akebono & Joe Doering came out to the ring to make the next bid to the champion and a #1 contender match has been set to take place on January 3rd. Akebono has had an up and down year in 2012 from facing off in a high profiled match against Atsushi Onita to his illness that could have sidelined him for good. Akebono has returned with the goal of become a title champion yet again. Joe Doering though is known for his mean streak as well as his super strength in the ring. Doering is no stranger to having to face Akebono in the ring and has managed to slam the big man on more than one occasion. This should be a solid match between 2 of All Japan’s big men, and no matter what Funaki may have one of the toughest matches later on in the month as he will be giving up a lot of size to both men.Below you will see the announced event cards at this time.All Japan Pro-Wrestling “2013 New Year Shining Series ~NEW YEAR 2DAYS~”, 1/2/2013 [Wed] 12:00 @ Korakuen Hall in Tokyo(-) World Tag Team Championship Match: [64th Champions] “GET WILD” Takao Omori & Manabu Soya vs. [Challengers] “SOA” Masakatsu Funaki & Masayuki Kono~ 2nd Defense.(-) World Junior Heavyweight & GHC Junior Heavyweight Double Championship Match: [33rd World Jr. Champion] Hiroshi Yamato vs. [25th GHC Jr. Champion] Shuji Kondo~ Yamato 6th Defense, Kondo 3rd Defense.All Japan Pro-Wrestling “2013 New Year Shining Series ~NEW YEAR 2DAYS~”, 1/3/2013 [Thu] 12:00 @ Korakuen Hall in Tokyo(-) GAORA TV Championship Match: [1st Champion] Seiya Sanada vs. [Challenger] Tomoaki Honma~ 3rd Defense.(-) Asia Tag Championship Match: [89th Champions] “Junior Stars” Minoru Tanaka & Koji Kanemoto vs. [Challengers] “Team 246” Kaz Hayashi & Shuji Kondo~ 2nd Defense.(-) Triple Crown #1 Contender Match: Akebono vs. Joe DoeringThe winner of the contendership match will then earn the right to face Masakatsu Funaki on January 26th.All Japan Pro-Wrestling “2013 New Year Shining Series”, 1/26/2013 [Sat] 12:00 @ Ota City General Gymnasium(-) Triple Crown Championship Match: [45th Champion] Masakatsu Funaki vs. [Challenger] (Winner of 1/3 match)~ 4th Defense.

This has been expected for quite some time now as the history of himself with Minoru Tanaka and the fact that he has been competing along with the members of this faction for most of this year. Though with the All Asia Tag Championship win it was seen to be only fitting that he would finally become a member of the SOA.All 4 members of SOA will be competing in the World’s Strongest Tag League which is set to begin on November 17.Speaking of the All Asia Tag Champions they officially appointed their first challengers in “Team 246” Kaz Hayashi & Shuji Kondo. Minoru & Kanemoto stated that they want to have a high quality match to kick off their reign as champions, and nothing better than to go after the other veteran junior team of All Japan.No date for the title match has been set, but it could very well take place on December 11, after the Tag League is finished. Next up, All Japan held a press conference for the upcoming title matches that were previously announced earlier that day.The first being Hiroshi Yamato defending the World Junior belt against Kaz Hayashi.Yamato right off the bat seems to be taking his recent title wins go to his head, and being that this is his first title reign that is somewhat expected. Yamato is calling himself “The Symbol of All Japan Pro-Wrestling Juniors”. Yamato is aiming to build a new era as the Junior Champion. Kaz Hayashi being a former champion on multiple occasions himself has took notice to the way Yamato has been acting as of late. The way he was dressed just for the press event was even a bit on the odd side of things. Hayashi said he will be coming to reclaim that very title belt. Then the last part of the press conference saw the meeting between Maskatsu Funaki and Manabu Soya, as Funaki defends the Triple Crown belts against Manabu on December 11. Manabu picked up the win over Funaki’s SOA teammate in Masayuki Kono, and subsequently made the challenge to the reigning champion after his defense against Omori on October 21st.Funaki though made a stipulation back at Manabu, that if Manabu loses this upcoming title match (no date announced as of yet) that him and Omori will be forced to disband GET WILD. That is definitely putting a lot more pressure on Manabu Soya, as they are also reigning World Tag Champions. If they are forced to split that means they will also lose the beltsManabu officially agreed to these terms at the press conference and the title match has been set to happen in December. Manabu has nothing but revenge on his mind as he faces off against Funaki as he wants to defend the loss against Omori and prove that GET WILD is a strong team in All Japan.Funaki also stated that he wants a shot at the World Tag belts as well, but at this point in time the upcoming Tag League will be deciding who will be the next challengers.Manabu stated that it is his time to prove that he is ready for the huge challenge set before him.

    All Japan also held a press conference to rap up Sundays show as well as lead into the the final months of 2012.

    First up is the announcement that Koji Kanemoto has officially become a member of STACK OF ARMS (SOA). Photobucket

    This has been expected for quite some time now as the history of himself with Minoru Tanaka and the fact that he has been competing along with the members of this faction for most of this year. Though with the All Asia Tag Championship win it was seen to be only fitting that he would finally become a member of the SOA.
    All 4 members of SOA will be competing in the World’s Strongest Tag League which is set to begin on November 17.
    Speaking of the All Asia Tag Champions they officially appointed their first challengers in “Team 246” Kaz Hayashi & Shuji Kondo. Minoru & Kanemoto stated that they want to have a high quality match to kick off their reign as champions, and nothing better than to go after the other veteran junior team of All Japan.
    No date for the title match has been set, but it could very well take place on December 11, after the Tag League is finished.
