New Japan Pro-Wrestling, All Japan Pro-Wrestling, and Pro Wrestling NOAH unite later this month for “ALL TOGETHER”, the special charity event for victims of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan earlier this year. Ten matches make up one of the most unique and diverse cards ever seen in Japanese pro wrestling, featuring wrestlers from the three most well known promotions but also several guests from elsewhere, including the Kensuke Office and DDT.

Top young generation stars from the “Big 3″ collide in an exciting main event as Hiroshi Tanahashi (IWGP Heavyweight Champion), Go Shiozaki (GHC Heavyweight Champion) & Suwama (Triple Crown Champion) battle Shinsuke Nakamura, Takashi Sugiura & KENSO. In one of many emotional reunions on the day, this will mark the first time former tag partners Tanahashi and Kenzo Suzuki have been in the same ring since KENSO left New Japan many years ago now.

Underneath that the legends take center stage as Kenta Kobashi, recently back from a very long absence, teams with Keiji Muto against CHAOS’ Toru Yano & Takashi Iizuka. For Yano and even Iizuka, despite his age and experience, this is a huge match in such a prominent position on such a big card, considering some of the names in lower profile matches.

The seventh match features another emotional reunion as New Japan third generation trueborns, Yuji Nagata, Satoshi Kojima, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, and Osamu Nishimura unite against the “fat man” team of Takeshi Morishima, Akebono, Yutaka Yoshie & Ryota Hama. The fifth match is also of particular interest with Masakatsu Funaki, Takuma Sano, Jushin Thunder Liger, and Minoru Suzuki all involved, and all came out of New Japan’s dojo from 1984 to 1988, the first three within a year of each other.

Many other matches including special junior bouts make up what should be a great card for a great cause.
