December 17, 2018 Observer Newsletter: Fantastic Tokyo Dome card, death of Larry Hennig
With the conclusion of the tag team tournament, the full card for WrestleKingdom 13 on 1/4 at the Tokyo Dome was announced.
The show, which starts at 2 a.m. Eastern time and the final two hours will air on tape delay on AXS from 8-10 p.m. that night, will open with a gauntlet match, expected to last 30 to 45 minutes, involving a series of trios. I believe the names will be kept secret, but it’ll consist of most of the company’s regular wrestlers who don’t have other matches, such as Jushin Liger, Tiger Mask, Marty Scurll, Ryusuke Taguchi, Toa Henare, Togi Makabe, Minoru Suzuki, Hirooki Goto, Takashi Iizuka, Taichi, Michael Elgin, Jeff Cobb, Lance Archer, Davey Boy Smith Jr., Chase Owens, Hangman Page, Yujiro Takahashi, Tomoaki Honma, Toru Yano, Yuji Nagata, Manabu Nakanishi, Satoshi Kojima, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, David Finlay, Chuckie T, Baretta, Rocky Romero and probably a number of surprises..
