Tne TenKoji love affair continued today in All Japan as the two teamed with KAI to beat the GURENTAI trio of Taiyo Kea, Minoru Suzuki & MAZADA, Kojima lariating MAZADA. The big story of the show, though, was Keiji Muto’s alter-ego, Great Muta, ending Suwama’s first Triple Crown reign in the main event. This means, if you consider them the same person in any way, Muto/Muta now holds both the IWGP Heavyweight Title and Triple Crown, four belts in all, somewhat remniscent of his unforgettable 2001 achievement when he was weighed down by titles. This is likely to make Nakamura’s attempt at IWGP recapture next month even more daunting and difficult.
