"The Gladiator" Mike Awesome has a pancreas disease, that will keep him off of the Shiny Navigation.
Kenta Kobashi & Akira Taue vs Jun Akiyama & Genichiro Tenryu has been added to the 2nd Great Voyage Budokan show. Big matchup, no weakest link to take the fall. Here's the card so far
NOAH "2nd Great Voyage", 9/18/05
Tokyo Nippon Budokan
1. Kenta Kobashi & Akira Taue vs Jun Akiyama & Genichiro Tenryu
2. GHC Jr. Heavyweight Title: KENTA © vs. SUWA
3. GHC Heavyweight Title: Takeshi Rikio © vs. Mitsuharu Misawa
I hope Shibata on this show in some form.
I like the tag match. No big deal about Awesome not doing the tour. Not a big fan of his anyway. Theres a rumor around here (New England) area that Eddie Edwards (local indy guy) has been given Awesome's spot and will on the tour for NOAH. His website claims he will fight Kawabata, Low-Ki and Yone on the tour.
Awesome has been in Japan?
I wondered where he went...
Does he get a big pop or is he a mid card filler?
Awsome wrestled KObashi before for the title...
The tag match will be intereting o see.
