Trios match added to NJPW’s Purge Night of Torture

New Japan’s House of Torture faction is hosting its own event later this month, and now they have added a trios match to that card.

The latest match added to the card is a trios battle. Three members of the House of Torture—Chase Owens & Bad Luck Fale & Yoshinobu Kanemaru—will face Tomohiro Ishii & Masato Tanaka & Ikuto Hidaka. Ishii has spent most of the year splitting time between NJPW and AEW/ROH. Tanaka, a former singles and tag champion in the original ECW, wrestled for ZERO1 in Japan, but in recent years he has done matches with US indie stars such as Bryan Keith, Calvin Tankman, Tom Lawlor, Adam Priest, and Mike Santana. Ikuto Hidaka has spent recent months wrestling for several Japanese indy promotions; he is probably best known for his team with Minoru Fujita, with whom he has won several championships in ZERO1. 

Already announced for the show is singles match—EVIL facing Dragongate’s Shun Skywalker—and a tag match pitting House of Torture’s Dick Togo & Ren Narita against a pair of veteran freelancers, HANZO & The Great Sasuke. 

Purge Night of Torture takes place on November 19 from Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, Japan. Here is the lineup for that show:
