OH shyt!!!! :krs:

[FMW News] More details have been released in regards to the full restoration of the former promotion.

Choden Senshi Battleranger lead the press conference as he announced that he and representative Hideki Takahashi have come to terms with Atsushi Onita and this means that he will be competing in the future. Hayabusa also appeared, as pictured above, as he has been making further physical improvements since suffering cervical spine injury in October of 2011. Hayabusa showed that he has the ability to stand on his own now and walk with the use of a cane. He stated that his rehabilitation is far from over as this led to Hideki Takahashi stating that he wants to see Hayabusa back in the ring at least one more time. Hayabusa appears to be in full favor of the new FMW revival as those who are in charge have strong intentions of maintaining and further adding to the promotions legacy.

Hideki Takahashi pointed towards the flag in the back as he showed that this new FMW will maintain the logo of the promotions past. It has been 13 years since FMW last held a show with this banner and he hopes that this will show that FMW is being completely restored. He also announced that the promotion will hold smaller tours ever month with this month being a few shows starting on 4/21 and ending with the official debut show on 4/27 at Shinjuku FACE. He announced that 5 shows are being planned to take place in the month of May.

WRESTLE-1′s KAI made an appearance as he stated that it was always a dream of his to compete for FMW as he declared that he will be competing for this new FMW. KAI in the past noting Atsushi Onita as one of the wrestlers he looked up to in the past and mentioning Hayabusa as well. As the two appear to have a friendship before today’s meeting. Andy Wu, Seiki Yoshioka, and Shotaro Ashino were also announced to be competing along with KAI.

NOSAWA Rongai also appeared as he called out Atsushi Onita and the Bakuha-oh (Blast King) belt. NOSAWA stated that he wants that belt and he will face Onita in any type of match. He also named dropped a new group led by him called Monster Gundan (Corps/Army) and mentioned Kazunari Murakami as a potential ally.

Damn Murakami back? :patrice: If they could bring in Tanaka and the Apache army guys then that would be dope. Nosawa vs Onita sounds promising. This could be a cool learning phase for the Wrestle 1 guys like Kai, Kono and Soya.

So Sumo Hall can't hold 10,000 people anymore or did we once again fall for iffy reports. REGARDLESS, that's a great number for Ibushi and AJ. No question they are for real as draws :obama:

The schedule for the G-1 looks VERY ambicious though. 6 straight shows in Tokyo and 3 consecutive shows at Sumo Hall ? :dahell: :patrice:

-Taven and Bennett actually won the Tag Titles? Awful. Just awful. Kinda shocked that Roppongi Vice won the Jr. Tag Titles, though.

-Gonna have to see that Styles/Ibushi match, and it looks like we might be getting Styles/Okada again earlier than we thought.


:damn::wow:...definitely gonna have to see this match

Why are there NINETEEN dates for the G1 Climax? Some of those dates must be house shows with multiple tag matches, right?

Even with that, the schedule is grueling as fukk.
