February 27 Trenton New Jersey TICKETS
January 19 in Korakuen Hall, Boltin joined with Hirooki Goto and YOSHI-HASHI to capture the NEVER Openweight 6 Man Tag Team Championships in a gripping heavyweight encounter. Now, the Big man From Kazakhstan is hungry for more gold, and the former NEVER Openweight Champion wants his second singles title in his US debut.
Tomohiro Ishii won the STRONG title back in Chicago last April, and after defending once against Drilla Moloney in California at Resurgence, is hungry for a singles challenge. On the same night as Boltin captured the NEVER gold, Ishii main evented in Korakuen, teaming with Taichi to put up a sensational performance in defeat to Shota Umino and Yuya Uemura. Yet Ishii's incredible will and determination perseveres, as does a desire to drive a message home to the younger generation of athletes within Hontai especially. Ishii's veteran grit is something he wants to see from Uemura, Umino, Boltin and beyond, and tonight he puts the Kazakh Beast to the test in a bid to see just that.
