NEW JAPAN PRO WEDNESDAY: NJPW World Tag League Winners Crowned, Chris Jericho’s Fukuoka Surprise, New Wrestle Kingdom Matches Added Plus FULL SCHEDULE

Hair vs. Title Match Added To Wrestle Kingdom 12

The NEVER Openweight Title will be defended at Wrestle Kingdom 12. After Hirooki Goto demanded a title match with reigning champion Minoru Suzuki, Suzuki suggested that Goto has nothing to put on the line. Goto corrected him and said that he DID have something to put on the line…HIS HAIR. Suzuki accepted and now there will not only  be a Hair vs. Title Match at Wrestle Kingdom, but it will be a continuation of the Goto/Suzuki feud that has found the two men reaching new levels of hard-hitting offense.
