All Japan returned to another sellout crowd at the Yokohama Bunka Gymnasium (the third one since 2007) with a strong crowd on hand. Satoshi Kojima recaptured the Triple Crown belts for the second time in his career, defeating GURENTAI member, Yoshihiro Takayama, and then gave one belt to each member of F4, saying that he didn’t do it alone, and swore to be a better champion than before.

The singles encounter between Masakatsu Funaki and Minoru Suzuki ended up in mass confusion. While entangled in the ropes, Suzuki pushed Kyohei Wada off on multiple occasions, getting himself disqualified, but the brawl wasn’t over. In fact, it had to be seperated by both GURENTAI members and All Japan ring attendants, while the heated crowd called for an extension of the match. While that didn’t happen, it is safe to say that the feud between these two men is yet to be over.

In an odd event, while celebrating his successful defense of the Jr. Title, Kaz Hayashi was attacked by the Voodoo Murders, and was on the receiving end of a fire extinguisher attack by Hate, who then proceeded to challenge Hayashi for the Jr. Title. It is very clear that when joining VM a year ago, Kaz Hayashi was the main opposition for the then Nobukazu Hirai. Since then, Hate has been a constant thorn in Kaz’s side, however, can Hate lose the weight to make the official challenge?
