New Japan announced participants and round one matches for the 2013 New Japan Cup, the 9th edition of the “G1 of Spring”. There are no major surprises in the tournament and the top round one matches continue the ongoing CHAOS vs. Suzuki Gun feud with Nakamura vs. Davey Boy Smith Jr. and Okada vs. Lance Archer as the two main matches. Right underneath is the rivalry that never dies as Yuji Nagata vs. Minoru Suzuki happens again, two months after Nagata pinned Suzuki at the Tokyo Dome. “Laughter7″ Kazushi Sakuraba & Katsuyori Shibata will appear on the 3/17 Amagasaki show in a tag match. The 3/20 Sendai show is a complete sell out in advance. The winner of the tournament of course will get a shot at Tanahashi’s IWGP Heavyweight Title, most likely on the big 4/7 Sumo Hall show titled “INVASION ATTACK”.
