NEW JAPAN RETURNS TO KORAKUEN HALL, NOAH IN KAWASAKI AND MORE FROM JAPAN

New Japan Pro Wrestling

New Japan Pro Wrestling held the first night of its Summer Struggle tour today in Korakuen Hall.

The full results were:

• Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Satoshi Kojima and Yuji Nagata def. Togi Makabe, Tomoaki Honma and Yota Tsuji
• El Phantasmo, Jado and Taiji Ishimori def. Robbie Eagles, Tiger Mask and Yuya Uemura
• Hiroshi Tanahashi, Kazuchika Okada and Toru Yano def. Chase Owens, Gedo and Yujiro Takahashi

• Dick Togo and EVIL def. BUSHI and Shingo Takagi

Jeff Cobb made a surprise appearance after the third match to attack Kazuchika Okada.

Cobb lost to Okada at New Japan’s Wrestle Grand Slam show two days ago in the Tokyo Dome. Afterwards, he said he would travel back to America to renew his focus, although it was obviously a red herring.
