04-25 Budokan show

[edgehead1984]

The Main event is rumored to be Kobashi vs. Takayama for the GHC.

I doubt it but I could see Takayama defeating Kobashi in this one. Unless Misawa wont to tdo that himself later

It all depends on the plans with Akiyama.

[edgehead1984]

I can see Takayama defeating Kobashi, but only if he drops the IWGP tag belts soon, because his status of a freelancer.

Also at the beginning of this tour, Ogawa and Suzuki challenge for the Jr. Tag belts.

Marufuji & KENTA defeated Suzuki & Ogawa to retain their tag titles.

It's set. Kobashi vs Takayama for GHC at Budokan. Also, Misawa & Ogawa to defend their GHC Tag Titles against (get this) KENTA & Marufuji. SO that whole Marufuji over Ogawa booking instead of going over on Suzuki now actually looks good. Liger ve Kanemaru for GHC Jr Belt is almost certainly to happen at either this show or NJ's Dome event...I would think this is more likely.....with Marufuji challenging at NJ 5/3 Nexess show....and Liger retaining only to drop finally at NOAH's Dome show to....KENTA (not to wander too far off topic but that's what I'd do)....

So Title matches for 4/25:
(confirmed)
Kobashi vs Takayama - GHC
Misawa/Ogawa vs KENTA/Marufuji - GHC Tag
(likely)
Liger vs Kanemaru - GHC Jr
Akiyama/Sano vs ? - Hardcore
Morishima vs ?(Bison would be great here) - WLW Title

Sounds like a good card to me. And your logic with Liger sounds correct.

I sure would love to see Liger vs. Kanemoto!

This is gonna blow the roof off of the Budokan. Now if only Akinyama will get out of Taz mode and be the Akinyama we love to hate (LOL) and love to love.
