* Minoru Suzuki and foreign giant Lance Archer are the 2011 G1 Tag League winners! The tandem defeated Nakamura & Yano in the semi finals with Suzuki earning a big scalp by pinning CHAOS leader Nakamura. In the other semi, IWGP & Ghc Tag Team Champions Bad Intentions defeated Tanahashi & Goto to set up a final with just one Japanese fighter. Suzuki & Archer then pulled off the near impossible by beating one of the most dominant tag teams in Japanese pro wrestling history, Archer really making a statement by pinning Anderson to lift the trophy and move the two into top contendership for the IWGP Tag Team Title.
* New Japan announced the sequel to this year’s colourful and entertaining New Japan and CMLL joint shows. “NJPW PRESENTS CMLL FANTASTICA MANIA 2012″ will be a double header again at Korakuen Hall, taking place on January 23rd and 24th. Top stars from CMLL will head to Japan and mix with New Japan juniors to put on big shows with title matches and all.
