Well, folks, it has been confirmed: After his victory on 9/21, Shinjiro Nakama will challenge ZENKI for the MAX Heavyweight Championship at PRO-WRESTLING TOUKON Vol. 1 on 10/14, the last date of the tour. General Manager Masaaki Sano announced the match at a press conference this afternoon.
Lord ZENKI apparently applauded the result but stressed that with support of his Demon Brigade zealots, he is invincible. Xpress Fighting Systems’ representative Arnold Cunningham remarked that Nakama, the runner-up in the PYRAMID Grappling League and a J1 SUMMIT semifinalist, would continue his meteoric rise and capture the MAX Heavyweight Title and show that no man stands taller than the Mountain. Who will show up victorious by the end of the night?
Meanwhile, discord and in-fighting continues to rain down on the Lion’s Road team. AJ Knight and Alexander Irvine were seen having a heated argument after the latter’s loss to Nakama on 9/21, as MAX now has a 3-1 series lead. Matt Pulver attempted to intervene but it was AJ Knight who shoved him out of the way and stormed off! AJ has reportedly been training at Fujiyama Dojo with Julian Cutlass, a former Lion’s Road superstar and currently on MAX-J’s injured reserve, and he is reported to have told the media that he doesn’t need Matt Pulver coming into play the hero and save the day.
AJ will get a chance for revenge against Tokyo Zombie, the 2018 J1 SUMMIT winner and one-half of the World Tag Team Champions. Zombie notably pinned AJ Knight on 6/2 during a tag team match and the high-energy AJ Knight is looking to even the score. A notable feature of our "SUPER REVENGE" matches is that they cannot end in a draw. Therefore, there are no double count-outs or time limits. A winner must emerge ~ just who will it be?
Speaking of Matt Pulver, the former MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion will compete in singles action against Frank Dylan James, the West Virginia giant a recent signee to the roster. While Pulver will be spotting nearly 100lb in weight to James, we should note that Pulver has had success against larger fighters. Will his success run out on 9/27? We’ll see! You won’t wanna miss it!
