All Japan President Keiji Muto said today that talks between Masahiro Chono, Shinya Hashimoto, Mitsuharu Misawa and himself about working together for the "Wrestle-1" show on 11/17 at Yokohama Arena are premature. Muto went on to say that All Japan, New Japan, NOAH, & ZERO-ONE are about to start on tours and that the four Presidents need to concentrate on their businesses, but when the time is right, the negotiations will begin.
Muto also talked about another possible opponent for the "Wrestle-1" show and that is Bob Sapp and that would be only if Muto couldn't get a deal worked out with Bill Goldberg. Muto also answered Masahiro Chono's challenge to show up at the 10/14 Tokyo Dome show saying that he wished he could be there, but since All Japan is running a show in Nagoya on the same day, it would be impossible. Muto said that he would send a telegram to Chono telling Chono to do his best by all means on the show and Muto also brought up that since he became President of All Japan on Monday, he has not had much sleep at all, because he is worrying about his future, but he said he will be like Napoleon Bonaparte and lead All Japan to a great future starting on 10/6 when they start their next tour.
Jun Akiyama is not only concentrating on the GHC Tag Titles, but wants to add more gold to his collection. He has already gone on record in wanting a IWGP Tag Titles match with Masahiro Chono & Hiroyoshi Tenzan, but that might be a problem with the rival TV networks Nippon (NOAH) & TV Asahi (New Japan). So, Akiyama & Akitoshi Saito are looking at a match against Shinjiro Otani & Masato Tanaka for the NWA Intercontinental Tag Titles which there won't be a network problem because ZERO-ONE is only on Samurai! TV. Akiyama said that Otani/Tanaka would be the 1st conquest and then they will conquer Chono/Tenzan for the IWGP Tag Titles.
