From Oudou

All Japan ran the "MUTO WINTER FESTIVAL" today, the last show of the 2005 Excite Series. They drew a GREAT crowd today for what had been a so-so tour attendance wise this month. 2,450 fans in the 2,800 seater came to see 6 well placed and interesting matches. Today was the first day Toshizo and AKIRA teamed, and they defeated NOSAWA/MASADA showing that their alliance might be strong force to contend with in the junior division. The Voodoo Murders picked up yet another win this tour, this time in a six man match against Love Machines who really haven't been as hot as they were in 2004. RO&D only picked up ONE win today! Taiyo Kea and Jamal were able to put out Honma and Suwama with the TKO to everyone's favorite, Tomoaki Honma, but they couldn't beat the "Keiji Muto Super Team" in the main event as Muto picked up his first win this series with the Shining Wizard. Not overlooking the semi-mainevent, as Kojima chose Ishikari to make an example out of, and revived his CCD to down All Japan's young junior hope, no word yet if Kojima and Kawada had their first in-ring confrontation of the series.
