BREAKING: New Japan 5/1 Card Changes

BREAKING: WRESTLING DONTAKU ’22 has been forced to see last-minute lineup changes as New Japan has announced both Tatsumi Fujinami & Will Ospreay are now off Sunday’s event. Coronavirus. Ospreay’s absence is significant because he was to have faced Hiroshi Tanahashi for the vacant IWGP US Heavyweight Championship. Tomohiro Ishii is the replacement and will face Tanahashi now. The outcome could now affect Capital Collosion on 5/14 because Ishii is to face Eddie Kingston, so if Ishii wins it maybe could become a title match. Fujinami was to have been in the opening 6-man tag. A mystery opponent will step in.

New Japan: Other Promotion Participation in May

New Japan has announced participation in 2 upcoming outside events: First, Shingo Takagi will appear in GLEAT, a newer promotion run by LIDET Entertainment that features both pro wrestling and a revival of the UWF (combination wrestling/shootfighting), as part of the CIMA 25th Anniversary match. That match will be Takagi & CIMA vs. Ryuichi Kawakami & Kazma Sakamoto. Since leaving Dragon Gate to help start GLEAT, CIMA has made occasional appearances in New Japan under the banner of his #STRONGHEARTS faction label, and this year made an incredible underdog run to the Semifinals of the New Japan Cup. The event will be held on 5/18 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, and given GLEAT streams most if not all their events this way it may be available for FREE on YouTube.

The second special event is on 5/31 at a Jumbo Tsuruta Memorial Event, in a match of Taichi & TAKA Michinoku vs. Yuji Nagata & All-Japan Pro Wrestling star Suwama. This event is to mark the 23rd Anniversary of the passing of Japanese wrestling legend Jumbo Tsuruta. Hall of Famer Stan Hansen, the first American to reach legend status in Japan, will be a special guest at the event. This event will be held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo.
