Former IWGP Tag Team Champions, Hiroyoshi Tenzan & Osamu Nishimura, reunited earlier on Hiromitsu Kanehara’s 20th anniversary show against Daisuke Ikeda & The Great Sasuke. Tenzan pinned Sasuke for the win and the two had a nostalgic chat backstage, Nishimura saying it felt like only yesterday when the two beat Yutaka Yoshie & Hiroshi Tanahashi to win the IWGP Tag Team Title back on 12/14/03 at the Nagoya Rainbow Hall. Nishimura of course has long since left New Japan, becoming a freelancer in January ’06, but when Tenzan invited him home Nishimura thanked him and said maybe he would some day.
