King's Road promotion

[Haiku Warrior]

Who is in charge of this? The wrestlers for the shows they are booking look good/even better than AJPW. Is this in connection with Baba at all?

[Uraken]

There are two men behind this as far as I know.. Being Aoki (who jumped from New Japan with Muto) and Takahashi (who may also have done, as there was a fairly big group that switched). I've heard about Kawada too , but I'm not sure.

The creation and reason for this is that the Original King's Road image isn't in All Japan anymore, unfortunatly. So , they want to recreate the feel of the old All Japan. Wich was w a y better in my opinion, then the current stuff.

I'd say it has a connection with Baba indeed yes.

So far King's Road looks like this:

Roster
Genichiro Tenryu
Tarzan Goto (Head Trainer)
Toshiaki Kawada (Rumor being he wont show up)
Taichi Ishikari (Should be assumed he'd follow Kawada)
Daisuke Ikeda
Kazushi Miyamoto
Yuto Aijima
Tomohiko Hashimoto
Shota Takanishi

Possibilities due to Connection
Atsushi Onita
Masa Fuchi
Taiyo Kea (Rumored by Dave Meltzer to Jump)

Possibilities of Just Appearances
Masato Tanaka (Trained by Tarzan Goto)
Mr. Gannosuke (Trained by Tarzan Goto)
Tetsuhiro Kuroda (Trained by Tarzan Goto)


Real Real Real Longshots
Shigeo Okumura (Because he was fred by AJ under Muto)
Akira Raijin (Okumura's buddy)

"With Tenryu's 30th Anniversary coming next year, Tenryu stated that it was a wonderful feeling to return to the Roppongi offices, and that he'd like to do a match with NOAH wrestlers in King's Road." - Credit: oudoulove.shiningwizard.com

I think for the best of these wrestlers and Puroresu altogether, and in a perfect world--King's Road should fuse with NOAH almost right off the bat, it would give NOAH SO MUCH.

Blue Justice is a mask man rumored to be working King's Road. Also Blue Justice is rumored to be Kendo Kashin. Due to the fact that hes friends with Aoki.

[lone wolf]

Wasnt this the reson why NOAH was created,they have a excellent idea,excellent roster,and i hope they get a pretty good tv deal,and ill love to see them working with NOAH.

Aoki today announced the participation of a mysterious masked man on the King's Road debut show. Named Blue Justice, Aoki said this man has wrestled under other names before, but wants to disguise himself in a blue mask for the time being. Aoki hinted at his identity, suggesting he may bring a certain tag title with him that he won't give back to its owner. His opponent will be announced at a future date.

Blue Justice
Height/Weight: Unknown
Hometown: Togane City, Chiba (same as someone else)
Special Moves: Justice Lock, Justice Lock II, Justice Lock III
- He loves Dragons, especially ones who have held the IWGP Heavyweight Title.
- He loves Hisae (Muto's wife).
- Has experience fighting Chocoball Mukai.
- Has experience in King's Road promotions.

Blue Justice=Kendo Kashin

[Uraken]

It sounds alot like Nagata too ..

Justice Lock 1, 2 ,3 . Nagata Lock 1, 2, 3
Same homecity, Ka shin is not his.

What tells it is Ka Shin? I think I'm missing something.

[BusaLiger Dragon]

"King's Road held another press meeting, announcing that a "mask man of mystery" named Blue Justice would enter for the debut show. Kenji Aoki stated that he recieved a phone call from Justice stating that he was from Togane City, Chiba. Aoki added that although his voice is familiar, he didn't really know who Blue Justice was. Kenji Aoki finished comments by saying that he may bring a World Tag belt with him when he appears."

I forgot to add the World Tag Belt comment.

It could be Nagata too but most people tend to think its Kashin.

[Hisaharu Tanabe]

Probably because Nagata has supposedly already returned the belt to AJ?

[BusaLiger Dragon]

Shota Takanishi

(give you a little info on Takanishi)
-Looks alot like Katsuhiko Nakajima and is mistaken as him.
-Is about 5'6'' and 169 lbs.
-Pass the Dojo Test in April of 05 and with flying colors.
-He loves the females and horseback riding.
-He was called one of Mutoh's favorites.

"Kenji Aoki finished comments by saying that he may bring a World Tag belt with him when he appears."

I forgot to add the World Tag Belt comment."


Well, now I understand!

[sokaiya]

"While doing some sifting around today on Muto's Leg Lock site (which is where you can keep up with guys like Masayuki Kono), I found a link to King's Road. Yes, that's right... Keiji Muto's Leg Lock booking office is selling tickets to the debut King's Road show. I'm not saying that the whole thing isn't true, but certainly if the hatred runs deep between Muto (All Japan/Leg Lock) and Aoki (King's Road), Muto would NOT be selling tickets to the debut show. Take it for what it's worth."
