  | "Leon-san," Fumihiko says "we have a tough situation here in NJPW. Fans don't want to come to our show. Our world champion, Lesnar-san, is an unpredictable head case who could leave at any moment. As head booker, what would your plans to improve business"?
"Fumihiko-san, I will bring New Japan into the 21st Century pro wrestling. We need to bring style and flash to New Japan pro wrestling. For the first time, we're going to put homegrown New Japan talent first. No more overpaid Gaijin on top". Vader says. He takes a swig from the Boss Coffee on his desk.
"What will do with Champion Lesnar-san? Will Brock drop the title"? Fumihiko asks. "I like big guys. I want to push big guys like Lesnar-san in New Japan. I don't want Junior pro wrestlers to win the World Heavyweight title. Right now, I am not yet able to make a decision on the World Heavyweight Champion" Leon responds. |
If Vader doesn't want junior's to win the world title, and tanahashi is currently in the junior division, then does that mean he won't be the ace of new Japan in this diary?

Depends. If Tanahashi doesn't want to become a Heavyweight, I assume Vader will find someone who will. |

January 4th, 2006 | 
| | In a mediocre match, Jushin Thunder Liger defeats Yoshihito Sasaki with the Crash Thunder Buster. |
| Taguchi is backstage with Masahiro Chono. He wants to tell an old story. Once, there were four young wrestlers. One young wrestler, a decorate collegiate athlete, worked hard but not smart. He was rewarded with two wins in two great competitions, beating his peers. The other three wrestlers worked smart, but not hard. They got titles, nicknames and acclaim, these wrestlers were the next "big things". But their talent never matched their egos. In the end, the hard-working wrestler, he was better - at the end of the day, he was holding the IWGP Heavyweight Championship.
|
| Taguchi seems unfased by the decorated veteran grappler Fujinami. He takes hit after hit from his bigger opponent. His chest swells red from the stiff strikes. Frustrated, Fujinami starts throwing harder strikes at Taguchi. He hits a brutal looking German Suplex and bridges into a pin. Taguchi gets his foot on the ropes! Taguchi gets back in the match. He's got more stamina than the grizzled 50-something veteran. With agility, Taguchi dodges Fujinami's vicious striking game. He knocks Fujinami off his feet with a beautiful dropkick. After a second dropkick, Taguchi pulls himself onto the ring ropes. He hits a lovely Frog Splash from the top rope and moves right into the cover. The ref counts and Fujinami kicks out just after the three! Taguchi has defeated Fujinami in a major upset! What a way to kick off Toukon Shidou!
Ryusuke Taguchi defeats Tatsumi Fujinami by pinfall!

He goes for the pin but Shiro kicks out at two. Omori and Koshinika just refuse to quit, and manage to take near fall after near fall to stay in the match.

IWGP Heavyweight Tag Champions Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Masuhiro Chono turn away challengers Shiro Koshinaka and Takao Omori when Tenzan pinned Omori. | | |

I liked the matches, for sure, and Toukon Shidou was a solid show. I expected to see a title change, but I accept seeing none. It's definitely a different NJPW, that one of yours! Looking forward for more

Looking forward for more Thank you! The booking was different, but the matches and match order were pretty close to OTL Toukon Shidou Chapter 1. In "kayfabe", this is because Leon had only a few days with the book at this point. That will change in the future. I don't have a ton of experience with NJPW and Puroresu so hopefully I'm doing a passable job with write-ups. Glad to have you on board! -KYE |

I think we're seeing the last of the U-30 Openweight Championship, as Lesnar will probably unify it with the Heavyweight belt. I'm ok with that, even though a U-30 Championship is a cool idea. Maybe we'll see another secondary title?

Maybe we'll see another secondary title? Or maybe we'll see an upset and have tanahashi go over Lesnar somehow. That way the ace can begin his reign as the hero who slayed the beast and go on to have lengthy feuds with nakamura and shibata, and Lesnar can go back inoki and his if promotion. |
