New IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Satoshi Kojima, is already having disagreements with management after a meeting today with President Sugabayashi led to a stalemate.

Sugabayashi and New Japan want to name Hirooki Goto the top contender for Kojima’s belt following the young man’s big win over Nakamura yesterday. Kojima, though, is adament of facing Nakamura in his V1 defense as he views the CHAOS leader as a stronger and higher ranked opponent despite his loss to Goto yesterday at Sumo Hall. Kojima’s only losses in the G1 Climax came against Nagata and Nakamura, with the latter now on Cozy’s mind.

When questioned, Kojima said he hadn’t even watched Goto vs. Nakamura and told Sugabayashi that even if he did, his opinion and wish to face Shinsuke would not be compromised. A slightly perplexed Sugabayashi argued that yesterday’s match showed that Goto is very strong and even if not on Nakamura’s overall level still, would be a worthy challenger for Kojima. Once again, Kojima shunned this and said that while he is sure Goto is a good wrestler, he’d prefer to face him in a non-title match for now.

Sugabayashi reminded Kojima that he isn’t a New Japan contracted talent at this time and he also needs to respect the opinions of management. Kojima said he can only think of facing Nakamura and asked the president to understand. Sugabayashi said he will consider Kojima’s request, so we still don’t know who is the top contender - Goto or Nakamura.

Before then we have the G1 Tag League, for which teams were announced yesterday. Although Kojima is not in the tournament itself, he will be making appearances in singles matches. On day one at Korakuen he has a mouthwatering clash with NO LIMIT’s Tetsuya Naito. One of American pro wrestling’s top teams, Beer Money Inc., also return to New Japan for the first time in over 1 1/2 years, as they battle IWGP Tag Team Champions, Bad Intentions, in a non-title match!
