Satoshi Kojima is off Nagata’s 8/30 Korakuen show due to an eye injury suffered in the G1 Climax, which looks likely to keep him out of action a while. Young lion Kyosuke Mikami is also sidelined at the moment with injury, while Manabu Nakanishi remains a long-term casualty after suffering spinal damage earlier in the year. The card for the 8/22 house show was announced, featuring a Tanahashi vs. Nakamura prelude match.
