nWoHulkster Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Yomiuri Sports reveals this morning that New Japan has succeeded in acquiring the "super-important foreigner" that Simon promised after the Dome show. Former Olympic gold medalist, Kurt Angle, is set to make his New Japan debut on 2/18 at Sumo Hall after Yomiuri reported that an agreement has been reached between the sides. This will be Angle's first match ever for a Japanese promotion, and unsurprisingly former Japanese amateur wrestling stars Nagata and Nakanishi have surfaced as possible opponents for him. Angle was scheduled to appear on the 1/4 Tokyo Dome show, with Nagata and Nakamura both top candidates to face him, but there was a scheduling conflict so it had to be delayed. Yomiuri said this was part of New Japan (finally) making the best use of its working agreement with TNA, and President Simon said this was one of what he hoped would be many dream matches set up in New Japan's 35th anniversary year. Simon also hinted at further foreign participation on the show, as New Japan continues to build on its momentum. :w00t: Quote Link to comment

nWoHulkster Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 President Simon gave an interview today to discuss what is now Kurt Angle's official participation on the 2/18 Sumo Hall show. Simon is glad he's finally been able to acquire Angle's services, after negotiating with him since November. Simon said that Angle is very interested in the pro wrestling of Japan, especially former amateur stars like Nagata, Nakanishi, and Nakamura. Simon believes a tag match will be set up (well, thankfully its not a three way dance this time!), and is expecting many New Japan wrestlers to introduce themselves as candidate. Naigai Times says Nagata and Nakanishi may both be involved in it, which isn't too surprising. Simon promised that New Japan will think carefully about this match, as they want to satisfy the fans and give Angle a suitable podium on which to show his ability. Simon also announced that he's considering dispatching wrestlers to TNA again in exchange, so long as they are interested in using Japanese talent. Quote Link to comment
Big Evil Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Само добри новини. Както вече разбрахте - не одобрявам "модернизацията" на кеча в Япония особено много, НО пък за сметка на това винаги има по един-два мача, които ми вдигат настроението. Не бих отказал един сингъл на Накамура и Енгъл освен всичко Колкото до предложението за "обмяна на таланти" - винаги съм се радвал, когато ТНА букват японски кечисти, защото тези момчета са изключителни атлети и в САЩ показват уменията си на 100% в ръцете на американските букъри. Сделката звучи добре, чакам особено много Минору и Гото отново да направят тур в ТНА :) Quote [img]http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b290/-CaPtAiN_cHaRiSmA-/f24afa9a.png[/img] [color="#990000"]HAIL SABIN[/color] Link to comment
UltraMadd Posted January 16, 2007 Share Posted January 16, 2007 Това е доста добра новина. Радвам се, че Кърт ще направи дебюта си в Япония съвсем скоро, но нещото, което ме радва още повече, е, че TNA и NJPW най-накрая са сключили сделка и се надявам да видим обмен на кечисти между двете федерации по-често.

nWoHulkster Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 Maчът ще е Kurt Angle & Yuji Nagata vs Giant Bernard & Travis Tomko. P.S. Айде, още една загуба в резюмето на Tomko :D Quote Link to comment
gboy Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Честно казано мача не ми хареса особено ;( Quote Link to comment
Big Evil Posted March 11, 2007 Share Posted March 11, 2007 хейя стига Като за първи мач ан Енгъл в Япония си беше добър, пък и като изключим тези обстоятелства си беше добър мач. Вярвам, че по-нататък в Япония Кърт може да сътвори запомнящи се моменти.
