Days
after capturing his very first championship in Pro-Wrestling, KJPW trueborn
Shinji Uchikawa will make his first defense of the EXODUS Pro-sanctioned championship on 4/17 in Osaka!
Appearing
with KJPW President Shigesato Ishiyama, Uchikawa proudly displayed his new
title belt for the eager photographers. On the match itself, Uchikawa
spoke of how much it meant to seize the belt in front of his home country.
However, Shinji lamented his brief celebration, as it was ruined by one of the
four competitors in the match -- Shozo Arino. While promising revenge in the
future, Shinji stated that his eyes were currently focused on April 17.
It
was up to Mr. Ishiyama to reveal Shinji's opponent for the title bout...
However, the challenger decided to make the announcement himself, as TSUTOMU NISHIOKA -- Shinji's dojo
contemporary entered the room with his arms wrapped around two lovely Japanese ladies. Having been out
of the public eye for several months, the former bodybuilder appeared more cut
than ever, with confidence to match.
"Shinji-kun,
welcome home!" Nishioka sarcastically
coughed out, before looking to his two lady-friends
for a reaction. Going even further, the two women sized Shinji up. "Hmm...
You lied, sweetheart..! He's actually
cute!" the first coyly spoke.
Her friend disagreed. "AHH! He looks so weak! His muscles are nothing compared to yours, darling!" Hearing this was enough to cause an almost
child-like squeal to come out from Tsutomu, being exactly what his ego needed
to hear.
Shinji
and Tsutomu both debuted on KJPW's first event on January 24, 2013. While the
two were not close during their dojo upbringing, the two debuted alongside one
another in a tag team match. When going over their history together, Tsutomu
made sure to note that it was Uchikawa who lost the match for them.
Tsutomu
told reporters that while Shinji has been "sight-seeing" in America,
he has continued to improve his body. He noted that he had won three amateur
bodybuilding competitions in the last six months alone, and said the only thing
keeping him from "turning pro" is his desire to be the best
pro-wrestler in Japan. Never the less, his accolades have earned him the name
of "Mr. Hard Body." He said his first in-ring statement would be
"embarrassing" Shinji by showing just how far the gap has grown
between the two. He showed little respect for the championship he was fighting
for, much to the ire of the proud, defending champion.
"I
only want this belt because it will hurt you.
Also, one of my lovely friends want
it... I forget which!"
Hearing
enough, Shinji cut Tsutomu off mid-sentence, promising to put everything he has
learned to use in their match in order to shut Tsutomu up. Shinji delivered it
with such confidence that Tsutomu was briefly speechless...! Flustered, Tsutomu
tightened his hooks around his ladies and snidely called Shinji an "idiot
virgin" (to the amusement of his friends) on his way out the door.
Alone
with the press, Uchikawa promised to make Nishioka pay for disrespecting his
new championship. While fans in Korakuen witnessed his progression since
leaving, the fans in Osaka will see an even further evolution!
