I am happy to announce my long-awaited return to the Land of the Rising Sun on July 15 in Tokyo at Korakuen Hall, where I will tag up with my FCF teammate Hajime Ohara to face the combination of TAJIRI and Naomichi Marufuji at Wrestling New Classic’s show.

Ohara has been on a bad losing streak since he and I teamed up last at SMASH.FINAL back on March 14 this year in Tokyo, losing to TAJIRI and Akira Nogami, when Nogami pinned Ohara following a top rope bodypress splash.  I only hope that my protége Ohara steps it up and delivers the goods on July 15, because FCF is a top tier team in Japan, and we must do everything to keep our position and dominance.

I am looking forward to fighting Marufuji, who is widely considered one of the top 10 wrestlers in the entire country of Japan these days.  For anyone who is unfamiliar with Marufuji, check out the following match.

On July 16 in Osaka, I will step into the ring myself against Ohara to check his fighting stock and see if he still has fighting spirit and the determination to be an FCF player.  It was back in August 2010 in Helsinki, that Ohara came to Finland to challenge me, back when I was the FCF Champion.  At the end of that match, Ohara pledged his alleigance to Yours Truly, falling in defeat to my spike piledriver, and thereby joining the ranks of FCF under my wings (see video below).

Get ready, Japanese fans!  The Lord of FCF is coming back!!!
