[AJPW NEWS] All Japan held a press conference today as the full event cards have been filled out for the November tour of shows.
Among the major updates is Nomura & Aoyagi defending the Asia Tag belts against a LAND’S END Korea team of Kim Nan Seok & Dr. MONZ Jr. on November 3rd, TAJIRI will be putting the World Junior belt on the line against Yohei Nakajima on November 5th, and then Doering will be making his first defense of the Triple Crown against Yoshitatsu on November 9th at the Korakuen Hall. 
Though before Yoshitatsu has the scheduled match for the Triple Crown he is set to face Jun Akiyama on November 5th. Though this had led Akiyama to declare that if he wins that he will take the challengers spot in the following title challenge instead. With Yoshitatsu agreeing to the ultimatum that has been set. As Yoshitatsu himself noted that it is a quick challenge for himself as he knows he has much left yet to prove, but that being something he aims to do every time he steps in the ring going forward as a freelance wrestler.
TAJIRI managed to recapture the World Junior Heavyweight belt and is scheduled to make his first defense against Yohei Nakajima on November 5th in Nagoya. Yohei made a forceful declaration to be the challenger on the 10/21 show though during today’s press conference the champion showed nothing more than plain dissatisfaction for the challenger. TAJIRI stated that he has plans as champion and a match against Yohei was not among them. That after he won the belt he initially aimed to call out Atsushi Aoki to be his first defense, but if anything this will be the first notch on his claim to acquire the all-time defense record for the belt.
With Yuji Okabayashi being forced out of competition due to injury, this has left a major gap in the upcoming “World’s Strongest Tag League” which is set to begin on November 19th. Though BJW is going to receive the chance to fill the spot as it was announced that Daisuke Sekimoto and Takuya Nomura will be taking on the recent winners of BJW’s own tag league in Daichi Hashimoto and Hideyoshi Kamitani on the November 9th. The winning team with then move on to fill the current spot in the league.
Naoya Nomura and Yuma Aoyagi will be taking a step to bringing the “All Asia” part back to the Asia Tag belts as they are set to take on Ryoji Sai’s hand-picked Seoul, Korea team of  Kim Nan Seok & Dr. MONZ Jr. The two might not have the most recognition outside of their home country, but the two look to take this opportunity to get their names out there as a formidable team. Seok stats are 177cm, 90kg, with his favorite moves being a Package Piledriver and Lift Up Crash Bomb and the masked man MONZ is at 172cm, 85kg with his emphasis being on high-flying with a 450 Splash and Yoshitonic. The champions have opened the door for any challengers to come forward as they aim to prove themselves against any and all challengers.
Then lastly it was announced that Osamu Nishimura will be putting both the  !BANG! TV World Heavyweight & NKPWA World Heavyweight belts on the line against Atsushi Maruyama on November 19th. Maruyama stated that he holds much respect for Nishimura and all that he has achieved in the ring as a master technician. Maruyama aims to prove himself as well as he aims to to go step by step with the classical style that the champion brings to the ring.
Among some bad news, trainee Yuki Kanzaki was announced to have suffered an acute subdural hematoma (blood clot near the brain) and has been forced to pull out of his debut due to doctor’s recommendation. Though with that his entire career as a pro-wrestler might honestly be in jeopardy, Kanzaki stated that he does not want to give up as he was in tears. President Akiyama told the young man that his life is more important at this time and that should come before anything else. Kanzaki will be heading to his home in Hokkaido to discuss his future with his family. Akiyama stated that the door is open for him to work as a staff within the promotion if he so chooses to go that route.

NEW SHIRT ALERT
This is an incredibly specific tee, a tribute to the perfect wrestling ring: The 1997 Sega Saturn x AJPW number that graced the world during the 1997 World’s Strongest Tag Determination League. Trust me, if you wear this to a wrestling show, people will be baffled. 
It’s going to be printed on a blue Next Level shell by my palz at LVAC. International shipping is prohibitively expensive, but if you’re game I’m game.
$15 | Pre-order ends March 31

Joe Doering (c) vs. Zeus, AJPW New Year Wars 2018 Night 1, January 2, 2018
For a while, it seemed as though Zeus would be lost in the field of contenders for the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship. While the title bounced from Shuji Ishikawa to Kento Miyahara to SUWAMA to Joe Doering, Zeus went unnoticed in his tag team with The Bodyguard. It seemed as though Zeus’s window as a serious contender closed when he was announced to be Doering’s second challenger. With no momentum, Zeus seemed like he was just another defense for Doering until a more serious challenge would arise out of the Champion Carnival. 
Zeus’s entrance reminded us that there is still plenty of enthusiasm for him, but there might just be more for Doering, who beat brain cancer and won the Triple Crown Championship from SUWAMA. He closed 2017 with a low key defense against Yoshitatsu, and he had a good run in the Real World Tag League. 
Zeus and Doering opened the match with contests of power, and Doering is able to use his height to force Zeus into an uncomfortable position where he is not the strongest one in the match. Doering’s attacks knock Zeus down, while Zeus is only able to stun Doering. When Doering lariats Zeus out of the ring with ease, he is able to follow up with a diving shoulder tackle from the apron and slams his elbow on Zeus, who is trapped under the bottom rope. A diving lariat gives Zeus some breathing room, but it takes an incredible suplex trade for Zeus to finally build momentum in the match. Zeus capitalizes with a sunset flip from the top turnbuckle and power bombs Doering for a two count. Doering comes back with a big spinebuster, and Doering gets a two count from a diving crossbody. Zeus shows how much of a struggle it is to hit offense on Doering when he is able to block a powerbomb and lifts Doering into an Air Raid Crash. Doering hits another diving crossbody, but Zeus survives to counter a Revolution Bomb attempt to borrow something from his tag team partner, The Bodyguard, and hits a high head kick. Considering the height difference between Zeus and Doering, the high head kick is especially impressive. A lariat stuns Doering long enough for Zeus to hit the jackhammer, but the strain required for Zeus to lift him up leads to an awkward landing, so Zeus is not able to stay on Doering for the pin. The delay results in a great two count. With nothing left, Doering and Zeus trade lariats. Zeus is drained enough for Doering to hit him with a short piledriver and the Revolution Bomb, which scores the victory for Doering.
By pitting Zeus, the man with the Nuclear Bicep Explosion and a standard bearer for power in All Japan, against Doering, Doering becomes an even more intimidating champion. Zeus hit Doering with some of his best offense, but it wasn’t enough to do more than daze Doering for moments at a time. Zeus emerges from his loss with a sense that he is a worthy challenger, but it’s clear that this loss was definitive, so it sends him to the back of the line for title contenders.
