[All Japan News] All Japan held a press conference today to hold the signing for the upcoming GAORA TV Championship match between Sanada and Kono, as well as, the announcement that Shuji Kondo will officially be joining LAST REVOLUTION (L/R).

Seiya Sanada will be defending his GAORA TV Championship against Masayuki Kono on March 10 at Korakuen Hall. Kono has managed to get under Sanada who said that “he doubts his role as champion for the first time” heading into the match. During the scheduled match against Kono on 2.23, Sanada finally had enough and ended up losing the scheduled tag bout due to disqualification. He regrets his action, but the anger towards Kono is still there. Of course it was pushed on by Kono who found it upon himself to attack Sanada repeatedly backstage before that confrontation on 2.23.
Masayuki Kono aims to bring yet another belt to STACK OF ARMS, with Funaki as the Triple Crown Champion and Junior Stars as the Asia Tag Champs. Kono has been showing a new ferocity and determination heading into this match and if Sanada has really lost his edge then we might be seeing a new champion crowned.

Masahiro Chono and Suwama were on hand for the announcement of Shuji Kondo officially joining a long with them in LAST REVOLUTION. Of course this comes following Kaz Hayashi stating that he will not join the group, which made to believe that his tag partner in “Team 246”, Shuji Kondo, was with Hayashi. Kondo announced that “Team 246” has been abolished with his joining of L/R.
Suwama though said that the invitation still stands for Hayashi to join up with them.
LAST REVOLUTION aims be the symbol of strength in All Japan Pro-Wrestling as they plan to take on Burning head on.

Masahiro Chono, All Japan’s advisor, then spoke about the news of the new owners and said that All Japan is in need of a reform. The foundation of the promotion has definitely weakened, but he believes that L/R is the sign of things moving forward for the better.

Chono then announced some more matches for the upcoming big show on 3.17. Including his involvement as he tags with Doering & Kondo to take on the team of Akebono, Hama & Nakanoeuno.

[All Japan News] Masahiro Chono called for a press conference today in the All Japan office to announce that he will indeed be participating on the 1.26 show, since becoming an adviser for the promotion last week.

Chono announced that the match will be a 6 man tag as he teams with “Last Revolution” Suwama & Joe Doering to take on the team of Takao Omori, Ryota Hama and Yasufumi Nakanoueno, who original called for this match against Chono.

Last year Chono made his intentions known that he wanted to work with Suwama in some capacity, but Suwama pushed Chono away from being in any connection with him. It seems Chono is taking charge in putting himself along side Suwama to try and make something happen between the two, but Chono’s real intentions are not known at this time. Could we see a new faction formed in All Japan? That kind of is Chono’s specialty after all.
All Japan in 2013 will be known as “BASIC & DYNAMIC” with Chono aiming to reach All Japan out to a broader audience, and right now Chono is focusing on the 1.26 super show in Ota City to be nothing more than a success.

Below is the updated card for the show for January 26th.

All Japan Pro-Wrestling “2013 New Year Shining Series”, 1/26/2013 [Sat] 12:00 @ Ota City General Gymnasium

(-) Special 6 Man Tag Match: Takao Omori, Ryota Hama & Yasufumi Nakanoueno vs. Masahiro Chono, Suwama & Joe Doering

Previously Announced:

(-) Asia Tag Championship Match: [89th Champions] “Junior Stars” Minoru Tanaka & Koji Kanemoto vs. [Challengers] “Baka Hentai Tag” Hiroshi Yamato & Hikaru Sato
~ 3rd Defense.

(-) BJW World Strong Heavy Championship Match: [2nd Champion] Manabu Soya vs. [Challenger] Yoshihito Sasaki

[All Japan News] A press conference was held today to officially announce Funaki vs. Akebono for January 26th, as well as announce Nakanoueno’s intentions to face Masahiro Chono at the show.

Akebono won the right to face Funaki after defeating Joe Doering on the show on January 3rd and is looking forward to finally facing off against Funaki in a 1 on 1 match. Akebono says that it is indeed a dream match of his to face Funaki and he is eager for the match let alone for the Triple Crown to be on the line.
This will be a completely different stye defense for Funaki. He normally aims to go for his new Hybrid Blaster to get the job done in his matches, but being how he gives up 100kg to Akebono he will have to rely on his speed and his ever deadly high head kick.
Funaki said that he will concentrate on the match at hand and aim to remain champion.

Yasufumi Nakanoueno announced that he wants to face Masahiro Chono on the January 26th show. Following the actions of Chono from the show on Jan. 3rd, Yasufumi is looking to get some revenge over the slap that Chono gave to the President of All Japan, Masayuki Uchida. Chono has officialy signed on as an adviser to All Japan, but has not signed on to be an active competitor yet. Chono though said that he would like to make a bid to compete on the show, and that was the opening that Yasufumi needed to try and take that spot.
Yasufumi said if he is indeed given the opportunity he will do his best not only for himself but or Uchida as well.

Also announced for the show is two more title matches. First being Manabu Soya defending his recently won BJW World Strong Heavy belt against the man he beat for it in Yoshihito Sasaki. Manabu defeated Yoshihito on January 2nd for the very belt and already has a number of challengers lined up to face, but Yoshihito wants to enact his rematch clause first.

Then the Asia Tag belts will be on the line as Minoru & Kanemoto will be defending them against the team of Hiroshi Yamato & Hikaru Sato. Yamato & Sato are far from strangers in being both bitter enemies and teammates in the past. It is nothing but physically love between the two and it is almost guaranteed that one of the two will end up with a hard slap to the face before they leave the building.

Below is the updated card for the show.

[Weekend Recap for September 24, 2012 Vol. 3] A look back of the bigger moments that went down among major promotions in Japan this last weekend from 9/22 to 9/23.
We are back on the normal weekend schedule and there is definitely a few points to talk about following this weekends shows. Most notably with both New Japan and All Japan had big shows on Sunday (9/23) with plenty of hype and attention placed upon the IWGP Heavy and Triple Crown Championship matches that were scheduled.
————————————————————————————————————————-
[New Japan] New Japan was in full swing in this last week to build up the DESTRUCTION show and the show seemed to have been an early success for NJPW.
Hiroshi Tanahashi successfully defended the IWGP Heavyweight belt against Naomichi Marufuji to cap off the night and now has a new contender in Minoru Suzuki. Tana and MiSu have previously faced off early this year at Wrestle Kingdom VI. Tanahashi walked out as champion that night, but MiSu was able to pick up the pinfall over Tanahashi during the G1 CLIMAX on August 8th. Just like Marufuji did a couple nights prior when he beat Tanahashi, Suzuki as well called out Tanahashi for a shot at the belt.

~ Speaking of wanting a shot at a belt, Hirooki Goto has his eyes set on reclaiming the IWGP Intercontinental belt from Shinsuke Nakamura after pinning Okada at the 9/23 show. We could see a title match set as early as KING OF PRO WRESTLING on October 8.

~ Karl Anderson still has his eyes set on beating Okada for right to face the IWGP Heavyweight Champion at the Tokyo Dome on January 4.
~ Yujiro Takahashi attacked Tetsuya Naito, mainly Naito’s injured right knee, after their scheduled tag match on 9/23, leaving Naito having to be carried to the back by Anderson & Goto. Naito has had a severe injury to the knee since the G1 CLIMAX and the attack from Yujiro did not help the matter. Nothing official has been released in regards to the severity of the injury, but Naito could be on his way out for a while to recuperate his injured knee.

~ Low Ki has appointed himself the next contender for the IWGP Junior Heavyweight title on 9/23. The former champion looks to have his rematch set following his lose of the belt to Ibushi back on 7/29.

~ Lance Archer and Harry Smith continue to stand tall over the IWGP Heavyweight Tag Champions, Tenzan & Kojima, we should expect a title match to be made official soon.

~ KUSHIDA & Alex Shelley picked up the win on 7/23 after KUSHIDA pinned 1/2 of the current IWGP Jr. Tag champions in Alex Koslov. They also finally gave a name to their team as “TIME SPLITTERS”. The TIME SPLITTERS are looking to claim the belts from the FOREVER HOOLIGANS, Romero & Koslov.

~ One match has been set in stone for the KING OF PRO WRESTLING event on October 8 as Togi Makabe & Wataru Inoue will be taking on Kazushi Sakuraba & Katsuyori Shibata. After the udder killing of Hiromu Takahashi in the New Japan ring by Shibata & Sakura, Makabe & Inoue are hoping that their strength together can bring the fight that the invading team wants.

————————————————————————————————————————-
[All Japan]
Maskatsu Funaki successfully defended the Triple Crown Championship against Suwama on 9/23. After a 27+ minute match, Funaki was finally able to take the match in his favor and drop Suwama head first into the mat with the Hybrid Blaster. This match was a complete 180 from Funaki’s match with Jun Akiyama which only lasted for under 5 mins. For Funaki to prove that he can withstand a long and lengthy match holds much in his favor.
Suwama left the ring and was helped out by Masahiro Chono. Could there be something in the works between these two? Definitely an interesting moment.
~ Takao Omori made the bid to be the next challenger for Funaki’s belt.

~ Speaking of Takao Omori, him and Manabu Soya successfully retained the World Tag belts over Joe Doering and Zodiac. Doering and Zodiac proved to be a strong team going into the event, but were unable to beat the champions.
Joe Doering snapped after the match, much like he did in late July, and attacked everyone before including his own partner Zodiac. Doering smashed Zodiac with a lariat and then the Revolution Bomb. Joe has not stated any reason for his loss of temper as of late, but it will be hard to see him find a new partner as if they lose they will surely meet his wrath. What’s next for Joe as well as Zodiac?

~ The finals for the All Asian Tag Championship Decision Tournament will be held on 10/21, and the match will see “Junior Stars” Koji Kanemoto & Minoru Tanaka vs. “Tumeric Storm” Tomoaki Honma & Kazushi Miyamoto to crown the new champions.
————————————————————————————————————————-
[NOAH]
Following a surprise attack from Kohei Sato to Naomichi Marufuji at NOAH’s show on 9/22. Marufuji asked for an apology from ZERO1’s Shinjiro Otani, as Marufuji thought he was friends with the guys there after working on several shows. Or I should say, he thought he was building a strong relationship for both ZERO1 & NOAH.
But that brings us to today as Shinjiro Otani has sent out a message for the actions of Sato.
Otani said that he was surprised by the actions of Kohei, but it seems that the feelings could not be suppressed any longer. Otani then proceeded to throw gasoline onto the fire and said that “ZERO1” is more or less ready to bring the fight to NOAH. Otani “I will swallow NOAH whole with one shot!”.

Talk about the heel turn moment, but I know most people are familiar with the outside promotions usually coming in as the heels, but the NOAH/ZERO1 relationship going on so far seemed to be more beneficial. Now there is a giant rift in place amongst the two promotions. Whatever will be coming next will be interesting to see.

~ Taiji Ishimori & Atsushi Kotoge made it through 9 other teams to be crowned the 2012 NTV G+ Cup Contention Junior Heavy Tag League Champions. With their win they have earned the right to face the reigning champions Super Crazy & Ricky Marvin on October 8.

~ On 9/22 we saw/heard/read Jun Akiyama take advantage of an injured Takeshi Morishima by making the reigning champion tap to an elevated Boston Crab. It is never a good thing to see the champion lose a match, but to tap a “rookie killer move” like a Boston Crab just adds to the humiliation.

Morishima and Akiyama will meet one on one for the GHC Heavyweight belt on October 8. Will Morishima be able to rectify this lose against Akiyama, or will Akiyama prove that he has something to prove after his quick lose to Masakatsu Funaki?

~ Also announced for the upcoming show on October 8 will see the GHC Heavy tag titles on the line as TNA’s Samoa Joe & Brutus Magnus take on NO MERCY members KENTA & Maybach Taniguchi.

————————————————————————————————————————-
I believe that to be all the major happenings of this past weekend, I probably could have added a bit more, but there I feel I put down enough material that I am sure you guys care the most to know about. If you guys want me to continue posting something like this feel free to like this post on the facebook page, leave me a comment, or give me a retweet on twitter.
I am still looking for critique’s and always open to thoughts.
