Since the last episode of Ichiban TV, Kenta Kobashi has been in close contact with the NWA Japan Competition committee.  Apparently it has something to do with great detail about his situation with Genichiro Tenryu.  We will let you know as soon as details become available.

Expect to see a semifinal match this week in KENTA taking on TAKA Michinoku.

There will be some sort of an announcement this week (we do NOT know however if it will be before Ichiban TV or not) on the NWA Japan Heavyweight title tournament.  I would expect them to either announce the format of the tourament or maybe even some participants.

NWAJ.com has just learned of the first participants named in the NWA Japan Heavyweight title tournament.  Also, NWA Japan wants this to be the cream of the crop in the wrestling industry to be in the tournament.  They have created something to make it more interesting as well.  Every participant of this tournament will have had to have held a WORLD title (Titles that would be sufficient include, AJPW's Triple Crown Championship, NOAH's GHC championship, IWGP championship, WWE/WWF Championship, WCW World Championship etc) to be included in the tournament.  BUT, if you haven't you can still be in the tournament with a win in a qualifing match. 

So far here are the participants that have been named to NWAJ.com in no particular order.....

Keiji Mutoh
Mitsuharu Misawa
Kensuke Sasaki
Satoshi Kojima

The NWA Japan Competition Committee has announced that this Saturday on Ichiban TV that there will be a tag team "dream partner" match.  Kenta Kobashi and his dream partner vs. Genichiro Tenryu and his dream partner.  The committee has also announced that because of Tenryu's actions of the last few weeks, if he were to commit another violent act against Kobashi after the match that he would NOT be suspended..................he'll actually be TERMINATED as a member of NWA Japan.  Tenryu could not be reached for comment but Kenta Kobashi had this to say.....

"I was very pleased with the respectful nature that the NWA Japan competition committee handled this problem.  I assure you that I will fight my hardest and make the fans AND NWA Japan proud to have my fighting spirit in their company."

Also we will see the semifinal matchup of the NWA Japan Jr Heavyweight Championship tournament between KENTA taking on TAKA Michinoku. 

There also have been other matches announced as Keiji Mutoh will make his debut for NWA Japan against Katsuyori Shibata.

This also promises to be an action packed episode of Ichiban TV as well as we will see Hiroshi Tanahashi going one on one with Taiyo Kea, and we will also see Kensuke Sasaki taking on Minoru Suzuki.

Don't forget we will also be announcing the remaining participants in the NWA Japan Heavyweight title tournament and the bracketing for it as well. 

See ya Saturday Night for Ichiban TV!!!!!!!!

Tenay: Welcome everyone to the May 20, 2006 version of ICHIBAN TV!!!!!!!! I’m Mike Tenay here with Dave Meltzer and we are sure to have a great show for you here tonight.

DM: That’s right Iron Mike, we got an action packed evening of action for the fans here and at home.

Tenay: Tonight you’ll see a semifinal round match in our Junior Heavyweight title tournament as KENTA takes on the very talented TAKA Michinoku. Also we will see Minoru Suzuki go one on one with Kensuke Sasaki.

DM: That’s right, and also we are going to see a HUGE debut this week here in Ichiban TV when legendary Japanese wrestling superstar Keiji Mutoh makes his NWA Japan debut against Shibata.

Tenay: I can’t wait for that myself Dave. Also we are going to have a first time matchup between Taiyo Kea and the young superstar in Hiroshi Tanahashi. But the reason we are ALL here is for the dream tag team partner matchup tonight with Kenta Kobashi’s team vs. Genichiro Tenryu’s team. What do you think we’ll see here Dave?

DM: Well, I have no idea Mike. Anything can happen in professional wrestling and TONIGHT…….it probably will.

Tenay: Very true, let’s get to the right where we have our opening contest between KENTA and TAKA Michinoku. Standing leg lariat by KENTA on TAKA. KENTA strikes TAKA.

DM: Legsweep out of nowhere. Second rope flying axe handle, TAKA goes down.

Tenay: KENTA only gets knees on a splash. TAKA Michinoku hits a rolling kick on KENTA. Back heel kick from TAKA. Pin : 1....2..no. These two are really going at it during the early goings of this match.

DM: Very true Iron Mike. KENTA counters an avalanche with a raised foot to the face. Back heel kick from KENTA.

Tenay:Pin : 1....2..NO!!!!!!!!!That sure was close. KENTA face jams TAKA Michinoku. Cover! 1....2....kick out at the last second! That was about 2 and 9.9999999/10. KENTA looks shocked.


DM: KENTA misses the elbow drop.

Tenay: Spinning back kick from TAKA Michinoku. KENTA kicks TAKA Michinoku in the gut to reverse the momentum. Spin kick by KENTA to the face. KENTA moves in for the kill!!!!!!!! Here it comes………..

DM: Busaiku Knee Kick!!!!!!

Tenay: 1....2...3, it's finished.


Winner - KENTA (58/32/85)
Rating - ***1/2



Tenay: Ladies and Gentleman, we have Genichiro Tenryu backstage. Tenryu can you tell us who your “Dream partner” is tonight?

Tenryu: HAHA! You’d like that, huh Mr. Tenay? Well, you just live everybody else………………you’re gonna have to wait and see! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

(42)

Tenay: Next up folks we have Kensuke Sasaki and Minoru Suzuki in the ring and ready to go for our next matchup.

DM: This one is going to be ugly friends. Sasaki is a big bruiser and Suzuki isn’t intimidated by anyone. This one is gonna be a FIGHT!

Tenay: Kensuke Sasaki hits some punches. Sasaki hitting the spinning neckbreaker on Suzuki. Pin : 1....2..no. Almost a 3.

DM: Suzuki reverses a Kensuke Sasaki hammerlock. Wow, more wrestling in the getgo here than I expected.

Tenay: Running clothesline from Minoru Suzuki. Sasaki takes a harsh kick right there to the face. Minoru Suzuki with a badly-executed spinning neckbreaker on Sasaki. That one looked like it caused major pain……….look at the face of Sasaki.

DM: Sasaki blocks a suplex attempt. Massive backbreaker, Suzuki got planted. It looks like Sasaki might be moving in for the kill here.

Tenay: Northern Lights Bomb!!! That shook the ring. 1....2....3!!

DM: Kensuke Sasaki gives a murderous look toward Minoru Suzuki...and attacks! Suzuki gets dropped to the canvas, then battered with a barrage of rights and lefts. Sasaki leaves the ring having left Suzuki down and out.

Tenay: Sasaki absolutely took him apart after getting the win. It looks as if Suzuki may be injured there.

Winner - Kensuke Sasaki (48/40/56)
Rating - *1/2

Tenay: Ladies and gentleman, we promised that we would have the bracketing and participants named in the NWA Japan Heavyweight title tournament and we won’t disappoint. Here they are…..

Tenay: There you have it ladies and gentleman, the 16 man, single elimination tournament for the NWA Japan Heavyweight title. Let’s keep the action rolling with another matchup!!!!

DM: This one is going to be a SERIOUS contest between two guys that just so happen to be meeting in the first round of the Heavyweight title tournament. We can even call this one an early preview Iron Mike!

Tenay: Kea bodyslams Hiroshi Tanahashi. Hiroshi Tanahashi fights out of a grapple. These two arent’ wasting anytime.

DM: Back suplex on Kea. Kea reverses an irish whip...and Hiroshi Tanahashi runs into the referee!

Tenay: Hiroshi Tanahashi scores with a released tiger suplex on Kea. Hooks the leg, but there's no referee to make the count!!!!!!!

DM: Kea counters a sleeper hold by turning it into a jaw breaker. Big dropkick by Taiyo Kea, who got good elevation.

Tenay: Tanahashi walks into a jaw breaker. Cover! 1....2...kick out. Flapjack from Kea. Cover! 1....2....kick out at the last second! Fast paced action here!

DM: Kea looks shocked. He thought he had him there. Tanahashi slips out the back of a Taiyo Kea bodyslam.

Tenay: Hiroshi Tanahashi hits a delayed suplex on Kea. Pin : 1....2....kick out! A split-second away from a three.

DM: Tanahashi walks into a trip. The referee gets hit by a wild right hand and is down. This certainly hasn’t been the officials best day.

Tenay: Hiroshi Tanahashi floors Kea, then signals for the Sling Blade. Meanwhile, Taiyo Kea has something in his hands. Tanahashi comes over...and gets nailed with a set of brass knuckles! Just in time for The referee 1....2....3!

DM: This one isn’t over. The fight has started up again! Taiyo Kea attacks Tanahashi, and they brawl all around ringside, then into the crowd!

Tenay: Both of them are fighting through the curtains.

Winner - Taiyo Kea (66/42/91)
Rating - ****


”Once in a while a superstar comes along and changes the face of professional wrestling. THAT face is now coming to NWA JAPAN……….TONIGHT……….(Mutoh’s face is shown on the big screen)

(61)

Tenay: WOW, well you’ve seen the video, NOW SEE THE SUPERSTAR!!!!!

DM: That’s right Mike, we are lucky enough to see on of the greatest wrestling superstars in the history of this sport. Keiji Mutoh came up in New Japan Pro Wrestling. He has wrestled on the biggest drawing wrestling shows EVER in Japan. He’s main evented Tokyo Dome shows for New Japan, he’s won the IWGP AND The Triple Crown title in All Japan. He’s one of the best of all time, and we are LUCKY to have him here tonight!

Tenay: Both Keiji Mutoh and Katsuyori Shibata are BOTH in the ring and are ready to go. I can’t wait for this one!

DM: Mutoh scores with a back heel kick on Shibata. Legsweep out of nowhere.

Tenay: What’s he setting him up for? Keiji Mutoh with a running dropkick into the corner!!!!!!!!

Rating - ***1/2

Tenay: It’s now time for the main event and the unveiling of the “dream partners”. Kobashi and Tenryu are both already in the ring. Up first Tenryu’s partner……….

Posted Image

Tenay: IT’S KAWADA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The crowd is going crazy and I know that Kobashi isn’t happy about this. Kawada and Kobashi have faced off several times years ago in the All Japan Promotion.

DM: There was always competition between these two as they came up around the same time in AJPW and this one is gonna be UNREAL. I can’t wait to see who Kobashi’s partner is………

Tenay: Who is it?

Posted Image

DM: IT’S MITSUHARU MISAWA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tenay: That’s unbelievable.

DM: That’s the perfect partner for Kobashi. Kawada has always had a hardtime in his career beating Misawa and I don’t think that Misawa and Tenryu have actually EVER been in there together. This couldn’t have been better Iron Mike.

Tenay: Mitsuharu Misawa strikes Kawada! They both look like they want to kill each other. Kawada walks into a spinning heel kick. Hooks the leg : 1....2....shoulder up.

Tenay: 1....2...kick out. Almost. Hard slam by Kobashi. Tag to Mitsuharu Misawa.

DM: Mitsuharu Misawa with an enziguri.

Tenryu pushes out of a Mitsuharu Misawa hold.

DM: Rude Awakening on Mitsuharu Misawa by Tenryu. Tenryu tags out to Toshiaki Kawada.

Tenay: Running knee lift from Toshiaki Kawada. Mitsuharu Misawa is in trouble.

DM: Dangerous Backdrop Driver!!! That shook the ring.

Tenay: 1....2....3!! They’ve won!!!!!

DM: What the hell?! Masahiro Chono comes running down the aisle, and gets into the ring!

Tenay: Masahiro Chono spins Misawa around. Masahiro Chono hits the Shining Yakuza Kick! Mitsuharu Misawa has been left down on the canvas!!!!!!!! CHONO IS BACK!!!!!!!! We’ll see you next week, for Dave Meltzer I’m Mike Tenay………see ya next week!!!!!!

The NWA Japan Championship Committee has come to the decision that Masahiro Chono will be suspended from participating in the NWA Japan Heavyweight Championship tournament.  We will be replacing him with another superstar from another branch of the NWA.  As soon as more details are available we here at NWAJ.com will pass them along.  Thanks.

Yes! KENTA won. Kickass.

That was a really good show, and one of the most intriguing aspects of the show every week is to see who will push the limits of the NWA Japan Committee. Once again, a lot of shenanigans, and a huge run in my Masa Chono.

I'm excited to see what the committee has to say again. Your Japan title tournament is evolving nicely. Can we get a bracket update?

Thanks man, glad you were diggin the show.

Yeah, KENTA won.....and I must admit that the stuff people were expecting to see caused my booking change (I was gonna end up doing KENTA/Liger, but everyone saw that coming.)so I was glad that it actually made me think of an angle to do.

Also, I've been having a lot of fun with the pushing of the committee. I just think it's a better way to have an "authority figure" as opposed to having a on air person in the role.

I liked your show this week. It put some much needed emphasis on the heavyweights, as I was digging the lightweight stuff alot more than anything else until this week. The Taue-Misawa matchup was well built, and the heat between Chono and Misawa is getting good. Nice to see you breaking out the big guns for Tenryu-Kobashi as well. I wish there would've been some KENTA, but what can you do. Good build for that though, even without him with the Marafuji-Liger interactions.
