All Japan Official Videos for March 22, 2013 (3 Matches)

Today, All Japan brings a triple dose of matches from last year.

First up…
Dark Ozz & Dark Cuervo vs. Seiya Sanada & KAI, for the World Tag Team Championship, from January 3, 2012 at the Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan.
~ Sanada & KAI formed one of the more popular teams to come out of 2011, even winning the Tag League, in the process. The duo earned themselves a tag team match against the the reigning champions from AAA in Mexico.

Sadly, the popular duo was unable to clinch the victory, but fear not, a new duo was on the rise in All Japan with “GET WILD”.

Dark Ozz & Dark Cuervo vs. Takao Omori & Manabu Soya, for the World Tag Team Championship, from March 20, 2013 at the Ryogoku Kokugikan in Tokyo, Japan.

The lastly, All Japan posted another match from the 3.20 show with the main event that saw Jun Akiyama defending his Triple Crown Championship against the leader of All Japan, Keiji Mutoh.

[All Japan News] All Japan Pro-Wrestling held a final press conference before tomorrow’s big Ryogoku show.

Don Frye, Keiji Mutoh, Yoshihiro Takayama, and Masayuki Kono were on hand for the press event. As they will be a part of a special tag match on the second half of the show. This match is aimed to be a continuation of this years theme by showcasing the BASIC & DYNAMIC features that make up professional wrestling as a whole in All Japan.

It took no time in the press conference for a provocation to happen between Don Frye and Yoshihiro Takayama, given their rivalry going back to a 2002 super fight in PRIDE.

Frye ended up removing his shirt and revealed, that even though he is 47 years old, he still looks as tough as ever.
Mutoh himself, even stated that he feels the energy already and looks forward to tomorrow.

Frye mentioned the fight from the classic match between The Funk Brothers and Baba & Tsuruta, and said that this upcoming match tomorrow will be better. Frye stated that he is looking to enact some revenge against Takayama for breaking his shoulder 11 years ago.

Takayama did not walk out injury free himself following that fight against Frye in 2002 and he aims to reclaim that loss. He also mentioned that the referee should be prepared for the match and should just let whatever happens, happen.

This will definitely be one of the biggest matches of Masayuki Kono’s career so far. He says that he aims to do his best and hopes that this will be the starting point for even better things to come.

What will we see when these two battle tested veterans finally get their hands on one another in the All Japan ring? Could we indeed see a replay from 2002?

In a bit of side news, Keiji Mutoh was also asked about the new owner of All Japan Pro-Wrestling, Nobuo Shiraishi, and the controversy surrounding his first press conference. The question was asked if Shiraishi’s proposed talent seclusion & MMA expansion would be going into effect, in which Mutoh said “no”.
So take that for whatever that is worth, I guess we will see and know more about what is happening in the coming months.

[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] AJP held a press conference to announce two new title matches that have been added to the Ryogoku show on March 17, as well as the additions this will make to the upcoming show March 10.

Burning made their first real statement since returning to All Japan when Yoshinobu Kanemaru defeated Shuji Kondo to become the new World Junior Heavyweight Champion. Kaz Hayashi took no time in challenging the new champion and today All Japan announced that the title match will be official for the 3.17 show. The President of All Japan, Masayuki Uchida, has placed his faith in Kaz Hayashi to stop the momentum of the invading Burning team. Masayuki Uchida noted the 3-2 win from Burning on February 23rd and is very disappointed by it, but All Japan will have to move forward.

Kanemaru stated that his goal is to claim his first true defense against Hayashi who holds the record for the most defenses of the belt at 17. Kanemaru aims for nothing but a total victory with his return to All Japan.

Kaz Hayashi picked up the win over Kotaro Suzuki on February 23rd and has placed himself in the position to be All Japan’s top junior. Hayashi’s complete focus is now set on Kanemaru and he aims to reclaim the belt.

Hayashi and Kanemaru will meet in a 6 Man Tag Double title prelude match on 3.10 as Takao Omori, Manabu Soya & Kaz Hayashi take on Jun Akiyama, Go Shiozaki & Yoshinobu Kanemaru.

The Asia Tag belts were also announced to be on the line as “Junior Stars” will be defending against Kotaro Suzuki & Atsushi Aoki from Burning. All four wrestlers were on hand for the press conference.

Kanemoto mentioned that he is officially a freelance competitor, after not signing a contract with NJPW in January. He though does not want to be seen as an invader to All Japan, much like Burning, as he says his love and spirit currently resides with Junior Stars and All Japan Pro-Wrestling. Kanemoto has competed for All Japan for over the last year and has more or less become a regular with them.
Minoru Tanaka noted that this is a time for frustration, but also a time for himself and Kanemoto to feel refreshed with reclaiming the Asia Tag belts.

Kotaro Suzuki suffered the first loss from the Burning side on the 2.23 show, and he hopes to not make that same mistake twice, let alone at Korakuen Hall this soon.
Atsushi Aoki mentioned that he wants to be the #1 Junior in Japan with the first step being the Asia Tag belts. Aoki plans to go with all his power and abilities to build towards his future goals.

With the 2 new title matches announced for the March 17 show, the first Korakuen Hall show on March 10 has also been updated to build towards it all.
The four men involved in the Asia Tag match will face off in singles action on 3.10 as Minoru Tanaka goes up against Kotaro Suzuki and Koji Kanemoto takes on Atsushi Aoki.

It is all about momentum heading into the Ryogoku show and there is definitely no sign of anything less than heat as we head into March.

[NOAH News] Pro Wrestling NOAH held the press conference for the upcoming GHC Heavyweight Championship Match between Takeshi Morishima and New Japan’s Satoshi Kojima.

With all the negativity surrounding NOAH at this timem in regards to Kobashi going freelance and the possibility of Akiyama and his closest friends withdrawing from NOAH at the end of the year, Morishima will be trying to continue on with his goal to be one of the best fighting champions in Japan today, and also to prove that NOAH is still a top promotion. Morishima and Nakajima originally coined the name “Team Don’t Stop” last year when they were both champions and teaming together in the 2011 tag league, but now Morishima is calling himself the “Don’t Stop King”, as he is looking to move on as the leader of NOAH, as he makes his successful 8th defense, and move on to face KENTA in January in Osaka.
Kojima said that he has respect for the late Mitsuharu Misawa and what he has built, and it is an honor for himself to get the opportunity to challenge for the GHC and against Morishima, let alone in their first singles match against one another.

Below is the full card for the upcoming show on December 9th.
Also keep in mind that Kenta Kobashi will make a special appearance to announce his actual plans moving forward in 2013.
