I hope he gets a decent run with the belt. I have to say I'm glad the belts off Takayama

This was a long time coming. And I enjoy Tenzan...from my limited viewings of him at least.

I have to admit I still don't like Tenzan as a singles wrestler. His moveset just doesn't seem to work for me. I think he's an awesome tag team guy though.

The IWGP titles don't seem important nowadays. You've had such champions as Hashimoto, Nagata, Takayama and now Tenzan. All of them don't seem worthy of the title, at the very least not Nagata, a bum that needs to be piggybacked by Muto.

With NJPW and AJPW on friendly terms again (at least with Chono and Mutoh) maybe 1/4 will give us another Tenkoji Reunion, this time for the IWGP Title in a rematch from 1/4/96.

 

NJPW gave Tenzan a pretty nice buildup going into this, his losing streak and then his return, and just barely winning the G1 after he started out in last. Then he litterally owned Takayama for the whole tour making it look like he'd lose the big match.

Finally........I hope it works out for him. It almost makes me forgive him for cutting the skunk mullet.

 

I did see that Tenzan talked of fighting Hogan for the title. Personally I wouldn't mind this if he was to actually win. As far as GOOD challengers, Kojima would be a perfect choice. Play up the whole "knows him better than anyone" b.s.

Whatever happened to that American dude? You know the one who knocked out Inoki to become the first champion? What was his name? ;)

His name was Sterling Golden ;)

I hope that Nagata vs. Tenzan will be at the May dome show

I would imagine that would be their best bet.

Would Kojima be credible?I doubt anyone would think he has a chance. He has lost most of his big matches in AJ. I would like to see it but i dont think it would be a dome main event.

I think we might see Chono/Tenzan vs Muto/Kojima or Tenzan vs Muto.
