"Dangerous K", Toshiaki Kawada (54), today reflected on his hopes for the young generation who will participate in his third "Holy War" produce (October 1st at Shinjuku Face in Tokyo).

On the 25th September, he visited the offices of the Tokyo Sports Newspaper, and spoke of the team of Yuma Aoyagi (22) and Naoya Nomura (24), who are the current All Asia Tag Champions.
"I want to see them as they are wrestlers who have been raised by President Jun Akiyama. Hiromichi Fuyuki and I were Asian Tag Champions, and I studied at that time. The first match was with Mitsuo Momota where I learned the basics, it is how it should be done, study and work with veteran."
Based on that idea, the two young opponents (in keeping with the veteran vs young generation concept) will be facing Mitsuya Nagai (49) and Masao Inoue (48), who both have experience of the championship.

In addition to this, from "Ice Ribbon", women's professional wrestler Giulia (24), former Cabaret member, will participate for the first time by tagging with Command Bolshoi.
For this card, Nishinaga (Shu - referee) is pressing. Nishinaga said that the system is a visual one*, and he thinks he would fit into the concept.

Kawada himself will perform the Talk Battle for thirty minutes with his former ally, Akira Taue (57), who retired in December 2013. Although the pair of them have left their legacy as a tag team, there was also conflict with Kawada saying, "When you unite with Taue, you do it under Taue".
Akira Taue was revealed to have stomach cancer in March, and had total removal surgery. "Taue has overcome cancer, but what I want to talk about is the struggles of being Noah president and being an active wrestler. The fans saw only what was happening on the stage, so I want to hear the story."
Kawada ended the interview with, "Twice in the past the event has been popular, I want people to come and see it for the first time".
