Line-up to be announced


# As the line-ups indicate, Dream Fujin has come to a working agreement with Tokyo-based organisation RISE, which is home to a handful of former DF employees. Another company that Dream Fujin will be working with is Monkey Pro, a comedy-based indy league which holds shows in Sapporo. Yakamotu has also shown interest in working with joshi organisation GirlsDREAM!, although nothing has been worked out.


# There are varying accounts as to how Griffin James dealt with his loss at the final tour show in Mexico. Some say he went nuts after the show, destroying his locker room, while others believe that he tried to go after Tate Monroe after the show. However, longtime Dream Fujin officials have been able to place together exactly what the former champion did leading up to his arrival back in Japan.

* Griffin James and Miss Cherry caught an immediate flight from Mexico to California, and then ended up hitting Michigan, Florida, and Maryland before finally heading back to Japan. In other words, they took advantage of the severe delay between tours. He was visiting friends, family, and "tying up loose ends".

* According to various outside sources, the former champion did not discuss anything concerning his match with Tate Monroe or the result, and instead focused on a "normal life" during the slight break.

* Upon hearing that the decision from the final Mexico show would stand, Griffin James immediately made preparations to get the bulk of his possessions shipped to Japan. It is rumored that James has made his decision to turn his back on American wrestling _completely_.

* A few days after his arrival in Japan, Griffin James released this statement:

"It shames me that I lost the Independent Super Lightweight Championship in such a manner- that was not befitting of the champion that Dream Fujin deserves... meaning that, if Tate Monroe had any respect for this organization, he wouldn't have stooped to such a level in order to get what he wants. A clacker? Trifling at best. He would have pinned me or made me actually tap like a man... but, the past is the past.

The future is this: I'll be at the next tour, and I want my title back.

In the past, I've made statements about how everyone should fear the day when I decide to treat this as an "American organization"... and after the Mexico tour, I have no choice but to do so.

I have no true friends.

I have no allies.

All I have is my pride and Dream Fujin.

This is my home, and as of now, this is my _life_.

I will not rest until the Independent Super Lightweight Championship has the respect it deserves- Tate Monroe does not respect that belt, he respects his own personal gain and nothing more. I tried my damndest to make my last match on the previous tour something worthwhile, but unfortunately, I thought Tate Monroe was more honorable than he truly is.

In the end, it doesn't matter.

I will put this organization on the pedestal it properly deserves... and nothing will stand in my way,"


# In other related news, Miss Cherry has apparently filmed several commercials for "SAIKYO! Juice", an energy drink funded in part by Capcom, while Griffin James is rumored to be in talks to star in a low budget horror movie to be shot in the Nerima district; folks are saying that it's a "gaijin fighting zombies". Both were also apparently interviewed for the Japanese premiere of "X-Men: The Last Stand" even though they both had nothing to do with it.
