Los Tranquilos de Japon, made up of former New Japan wrestlers BUSHI and Tetsuya Naito among others who were formerly Los Ingobernables de Japan before BUSHI & Naito left the promotion, will be part of the 1/1 Nippon Budokan event. BUSHI participation is confirmed along with TBA who is a mystery member of the group. The obvious question is whether it’s Naito or someone else.

More New Japan participation is set for 12/23 with Hiromu Takahashi & Daiki Nagai vs. AMAKUSA & Daiki Odashima. Also set for 12/23 is a Takashi Sugiura 25th Anniversary Match of Sugiura vs. KENTA.

The Good Brothers, aka Karl Anderson & Luke/Doc Gallows, have been added to 1/1. They will face Kiyomiya & Jack Morris. Also added to 1/1 is Will Kroos vs. Saxon Huxley for the Progress Atlas Championship held by Kroos. That now makes 4 title matches so far for the year-opening blowout event.

According to widely reported news in the Japanese media today, Nippon Television Network (NTV) announcer Daisuke Sugaya, whose career included announcing pro wrestling, died today due to potential complications from pancreatic cancer. He was 53. He was hospitalized on 11/7 after work due to not feeling well because of digestive issues.
Sugaya’s work with NTV included being a TV announcer for Pro Wrestling NOAH when the promotion had a partnership with NTV, with some events airing on NTV’s G+ network for the first decade-plus. Several NOAH wrestlers who were in the promotion at that time, including KENTA, have posted memories and messages of condolences on social media. Sugaya also did a wide variety of other programming work including news, sports, management and more.
