>[New Japan] KOPW holder Great-O-Khan announces "Stardom revival": "I'll lend a helping hand"
>New Japan Pro-Wrestling's KOPW holder, Great-O-Khan, has predicted the "revival" of the women's professional wrestling organization Stardom.
>On the 3rd, prior to New Japan's big match in Osaka on the 4th, he held a talk show in Osaka. In the tournament, he will team up with HENARE to challenge the IWGP Tag Team Champions Mikey Nichols & Shane Heist. This will be his first match in about a month and a half since he lost to Tetsuya Naito for the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship at the Kobe tournament in September, and he made it a must-win situation, saying, "I lost to Naito last time, so it's not enough to just challenge. I have to win this match."
>Furthermore, at the joint event with Stardom, "Historic X-over," which will be held at the Edion Arena Osaka on the 17th, she is also set to compete against Suzuki Suzu for the KOPW. "Even within Stardom, it's rare to see a singles match with a male wrestler, right? In New Japan Pro Wrestling, maybe Chono (Masahiro) did it once (in 2002, against Joanie Lawler)?" she said, delighted at the realization of this "historic match."
>"In KOPW, we were fighting various new battles under the theme of 'regional revitalization,' but this time it's not about the regions, it's about revitalizing Stardom. Stardom has had a lot of problems and is in turmoil, right? I'm going to lend them a helping hand," he said, revealing his thoughts about the group, which was hit by a split in February this year. Now that about nine months have passed since then, it feels like there's no revival at all...
