Okay, I don't think there's been any official announcements or press releases from PWF, just stuff Steve Corino has said in interviews and info posted on 1wrestling.com. I'm not sure what ZERO ONE of the Japanese press is saying about it.
This is what I've heard so far:
* It will be 2 shows back-to-back nights at the Valley Forge Convention Center in Valley Forge, PA.
* It's currently scheduled for September.
* One show will be for a ZERO ONE PPV in Japan. One show will be for Samurai TV. Everything will then be shown on PWF television.
* Corino will Defend his Pro-wrestling ZERO ONE U.S. title at the show.
As for my speculation:
I think you can be pretty sure that Low Ki will also defend his NWA/UPW/ZERO ONE International Junior Heavyweight Title on the ppv also.
And whoever the PWF Universal Champ is at the time will most likely defend their title also.
And I suppose the NWA Intercontinental Tag Team Title held by Steve and CW in ZERO ONE is a possibility too.
ZERO ONE is a member of the NWA, so technically they could have a N.W.A. World Heavyweight Title defense on the show as well...
I'm hoping for a Corino vs. Hashimoto match on one of the shows.
I wouldn't be surprised to see AJ Styles vs. Low Ki re-match on one show since that was the show stealer on the ZERO ONE "U$A 2003" ppv from January.
I hope they get Hidaka & Togo for this one. TAKA would be cool to.
Ummm, and let's not forget Shark Boy. I think Shark Boy would go over real well to the Japan audience... 8-)
that could be a very good card, if i lived anywhere near there id be going, i would want to see a low ki vs aj rematch cause the first one was very good and it was the first zero one match i ever saw
I wish some puro shows would be, or could be done in Chicago. But I think the people here, other than me or anyone else, wouldn't come or have no idea who they were.

Zero-One having a show in the USA??? And in my home state of PA??? All I have to say is.... YYYEEEEEE-HHHHHHHAAAAWWW!!!!! YES!!! I am so happy!!! If rumors are true and everything is as true as night, I'm SO going to that show!!! Can't wait to see favs of mine like Shinjiro Ohtani and Masato Tanake, Tetsuhito Takaiwa, and etc. LIVE!!! Sorry for sounding like a mark, but this is GREAT!!! Now, if only New Japan and NOAH would have shows in the USA...

I can't wait either. I so hope it happens.
Interestingly enough, the guys from PWF (Premier Wrestling Federation) that are linked to the show are calling it the "ZERO-ONE USA" show.
"ZERO ONE USA?" Hmmmm....
I've heard rumors that a few Puro feds are looking into expanding into America right now. Good timing considering how weak the overall product from the WWE is these days.
NOAH was one of those mentioned. I think their shows will be out West as they are linked with Pro-Wrestling IRON.
PWF is in Pottstown, PA outside Philly and we all know Philly is loaded with wrestling fans (and feds!).
All I know is I want a Hashimoto vs. Corino match.

ROAD TRIP!!!
Seriously, many people might as well.
It's going to be 2 days long. There hasn't been any official announcement yet.
This is the latest report from PWF:
"...ZERO-ONE USA's debut just depends on the availability of the venue. It is a very busy venue with conventions and weddings but it is a perfect place to open ZERO-ONE USA so they are willing to wait..."
According to an interview Corino did with xtreme-radio.com they were looking at July but because of trying to get two dates they're now going for September.
He also says the Valley Forge Convention Center holds about 2,000 people.
Zero-One USA??? Sounds awesome!!!!! I am so happy I live in northeast PA (Scranton) because I am SO going. Many people will. We all know many Philly fans are hardcore wrestling fans (and not WWE) so those shows would probably sell out quickly. I would love to see a Hashimoto vs. Corino match. We all know that Steve Corino is the future of gaijins. Franceman, what did you mean by that all France gets is joke-a-wrestlers??

Yes, and if they give enough notice in advance people will come from pretty far. NY, NJ and DE will all be in the house.

Yes. I'll be pre-ordering those seats to make sure I get close. I want to be able to throw streamers into the ring!

Corino is the present of Gaijins also. Last tour he defended the ZERO-ONE U$A title and won the NWA Intercontinental Tag titles with CW Anderson. Plus he won both matches he did for WEW (Fuyuki memorial shows).
He wins matches and he's over. And his son is more over than all the ZERO-ONE wrestlers...
Yes Corino is VERY big in Japan. Probably almost near the accolades that Stan Hansen, Bruiser brody, Hulk Hogan (although he is not a good worker, but was decent in the 70's and 80's, especially in Japan), Abdullah the Butcher (again, not a good worker, never was in fact). The best part is that Steve Corino is a very good worker (not great, I know guys like Nagata, Kawada, etc. are better, Corino is still quite good). So, here's to hoping for those Zero-One American shows.
You love me, you love me not, but you definately respect me!!!!
Good point Phoenix. Low Ki is great and will also be the future of gaijins. Low Ki is a better wrestler than Corino (although Corino is really good though). There is also Bob Sapp (even though he isn't really a wrestler) and there is also Jodie Fliesch. Among others.
You love me, you love me not, but you definately respect me!!!!
