Wasn't there a Tiger Mask V endorsed by Satoru Sayama a few years ago?

Edit: This guy, some MMA fighter

Minowaman :russ:

He doesn't count, though. Sayama ended up giving all of his trainees some kind of tiger name. All the props to Sayama, but shyt isn't real until it's endorsed by a big (initially, at least) NJPW push.

So Gedo actually booked the New Japan (with Shibata) vs NOAH 5 on 5 match on the Lion Gate show at Shinjuku Face. Really odd place to put that match in considering that could potentially sell out Korakuen with another big match attached to it. I hope that's just the first encounter and not the only one.

DDT barely drew over 5k at Sumo Hall for their annual Peter Pan show. It shouldn't be a surprise though as they didn't book anyone that could draw on that show. Real Hero already upped it on rutube BTW.

Any gaijin that got good exposure in the US will get booked in Japan. Neidhart had a good tag run in the US and the Harts had good connects in New Japan to get him booked :manny:

He was just so random. The whole tournament was built around the NJ/WCW relationship, then you have Anvil, the only guy who wasn't working for either company.
