NEW JAPAN SOLD?!?
Entertainment giant, Yuke's, today announced the purchase of Antonio Inoki's 27,800 shares, giving them controlling interest in New Japan Pro-Wrestling (51.5%). They are one of the most powerful media companies in Japan and are behind the Toukon DVD range and many famous New Japan video games, and their takeover of New Japan will have major ramifications. Antonio Inoki, who has forced many controversial decisions that many believe have held back New Japan in recent years, now has no power in the company, although may stick around as a presence, as New Japan announced his participation on the 12/6 "TOUKON FESTIVAL" today. The major restructuring in New Japan continues - new president, new matchmaker, new controlling company.
ALSO
BROCK LESNAR TO APPEAR ON LAST 2005 TOUR
IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Brock Lesnar, enters "BATTLE FINAL 2005", New Japan's last tour of the year! As a gift to two of its most supportive territories, New Japan presents huge special singles matches, with Lesnar having to face Nakanishi and Nagata back to back before defending his title against their ex-Team JAPAN friend, Kazuyuki Fujita, at the Tokyo Dome.
FINALLY
The death of Eddie Guerrero has been covered in Japanese newspapers today. They said that Eddie was in part "raised" by New Japan and for this reason the Japanese fans, in addition to those across the world, are also proud of him and what he achieved.
There seems to be a lot going on right now as NJPW continues to restructure and get ready for the FINAL 1/4 Tokyo Dome show. It will be the end of an era for NJPW, but also the start of something new.
