deancoles 0 Report post Posted December 6, 2003 Taken from puroresufan.com Wild II learnt a wise lesson today... don't f*ck with Mr. Saikyo! Yuji Nagata & Hiroshi Tanahashi made a successful V1 defense of their GHC Tag Team Title, beating Takeshi Morishima & Takeshi Rikio on today's NOAH show in Yokohama. The New Japan pair were given a strong challenge from Wild II, but in the end their combined technique shone through. Nagata transformed into a crazed killer, and took Morishima to school, forcing a referee stoppage from his Nagata Lock III. After the match, Nagata gave a cold and provocative interview, leading to a showdown with NOAH wrestlers. A fan threw a bottle at Nagata as he gloated on the rampway, so he threw one back and it connected! Mitsuharu Misawa & Yoshinari Ogawa are the leading candidates to challenge next, either on New Japan's 1/4 Tokyo Dome show or NOAH's 1/10 Budokan show, but a STERNNESS combination (more than likely Jun Akiyama & Akitoshi Saito) have also petitioned for a shot. Tanahashi remains the the tag king of Japan, and a 3-crown champion, but still has two title matches left in December. Update:Nagata & Tanahashi's V2 defense has been officially set for 1/10 Budokan. Their opponents, as expected, will be Misawa & Ogawa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Dave O'Neill, Journalist Report post Posted December 7, 2003 I freely admit to being a puro n00b, although I'm learning more and more every day. Can we assume Tanahashi is the future of NJ???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Indikator Report post Posted December 7, 2003 Never say never if Inoki is involved. He only has to lose one shoot-fight or Nakamura has to surpass him and the future won´t be too bright for Tanahashi Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
