All eleven matches have been determined for “WRESTLE KINGDON VI” at the Tokyo Dome in January and it’s a big one! In addition to what was previously known, some very enticing bouts were announced today, most notably the battle of the master Keiji Muto against a man who has been showing that similar natural genius that Muto is renowned for, Tetsuya Naito. Togi Makabe and Yoshihiro Takayama go to war in a grudge match that has been building some time, while MVP unleashes his hidden weapon, Shelton Benjamin, to take on CHAOS duo Masato Tanaka & Yujiro Takahashi.

Two of New Japan’s bright young stars return after long excursions overseas with Kazuchika Okada facing YOSHI-HASHI, who was of course Nobuo Yoshihashi when he departed New Japan some one and a half years ago to gain experience. Okada made a brief return one year ago to the day of this show and made a good impression in the tag match but is back for good this time. Juniors begin the show with a special New Japan and CMLL eight man tag following the IWGP Jr. Tag Team Title show opener where Apollo 55 attempt to regain the belts from Davey Richards & Rocky Romero.

Masakatsu Funaki returns to his original home at last! New Japan announced five matches for “NJPW 40TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR ~ WRESTLE KINGDOM VI IN TOKYO DOME”, Japanese professional wrestling’s annual super-show at the Tokyo Dome in January. Funaki, who many New Japan fans have long waited to see in the company where he was trained, teams up with Masayuki Kono against Yuji Nagata & Wataru Inoue in a special tag match. New Japan and NOAH go to war as old rivals Hirooki Goto and Takashi Sugiura lock horns, while CHAOS’ Shinsuke Nakamura & Toru Yano do battle with the duo of GHC Heavyweight Champion, Go Shiozaki, and Naomichi Marufuji. TenKoji’s revival grants them a shot at the most dominant IWGP Tag Team Champions in history, Bad Intentions, meaning whether they win or lose, Bernard & Anderson’s reign will have gone from 2010, all the way 2011, and into 2012. And of course, as we all knew, Hiroshi Tanahashi attempts to become the most successful IWGP Heavyweight Champion to ever live as he makes his V11 defense of the prestigious belt against Minoru Suzuki in the main event. More matches are yet to be added but these five promise lots of excitement.
