* Apollo 55’s reign as IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions continued today with a successful V7 defense over TAKA & Taichi. This is the second time that Devitt & Taguchi have beaten this team during their third reign with the belts, the first coming at Amagasaki in March. This victory broke the previous defense record of six that they co-held with Jado & Gedo and Kanemoto & Liger, making them the most successful IWGP Jr. Tag Champions in history. They are now nearly nine months into this reign but have a long way to go if they’re to shatter the longest reign record, held by Shinjiro Otani & Tatsuhito Takaiwa (348 days, 7/13/99 to 6/25/00).
* New Japan officially announced that it will return to the Tokyo Dome on 1/4/12 for “NJPW 40TH ANNIVERSARY TOUR ~ WRESTLE KINGDOM VI”, an extended title next year as celebrations begin for the 40 year anniversary of this famous and historic promotion.
