The upcoming show from Korakuen Hall on May 25 is getting more and more stacked as time ticks by. Announced today is that Atsushi Aoki will defend the Junior Heavyweight title against MMA fighter/Deatmatch wrestler (that's a legit combo if anything) Masashi Takeda. This will be the first time they face off one on one.
The show will air live on Samurai TV and the card looks as follows:
Masanobu Fuchi, Atsushi Maruyama [FREE] & Koji Iwamoto [Sportiva] vs. SUSHI, Osamu Nishimura [FREE] & Ryuji Hijikata [FREE]
World Junior Heavyweight Championship Match: [39th Champion] Atsushi Aoki vs. [Challenger] Masashi Takeda
~ 3rd title defense.
Naoya Nomura & Hikaru Sato [Pancrase MISSION] vs. Shuji Ishikawa [FREE] & Ryoji Sai [FREE]
Jake Lee vs. Kengo Mashimo [K-DOJO]
Axe Bomber vs AJ Rangers: Takao Omori, Isami Kodaka, Yuko Miyamoto & Kazuhiro Tamura vs. AJ Ranger “White”, AJ Ranger “Red”, AJ Ranger “Blue” & AJ Ranger “Green”
Special Single Match: Zeus vs. Yuji Okabayashi
Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship Match: [55th Champion] Kento Miyahara vs. [Challenger] Daisuke Sekimoto
~ 2nd title defense.
This is a strong card. The "AJ Rangers vs Axe Bombers" tag match has me hyped since it seems like a fun match up, especially with the AJ Rangers gimmick added on.
