(NOAH) Sugiura wishes to continue the "Beast\King Shame" combination

12th October 2019
Tokyo Sports

A "Saviour" appeared in the strong combination between "Noah's King Shame", Takashi Sugiura (49) and "The Beast" Kazuyuki Fujita (48) when they formed their first tag at the Korakuen event on 3rd October.
On the 20th October they will clash with Go Shiozaki (37) and Shuhei Taniguchi (42).
The only concern was Fujita's "animal allergy" (as reported earlier in this paper), but Sugiura published a photo of his pet dog, Kenta (Mameshiba, 1 years old), and he appealed to The Beast to continue fighting.

The two crushed the group of Taniguchi and Kumano on the 3rd at Korakuen Hall, and although it quickly became the eye of the storm, Fujita refused to wear the Sugiura Army T-shirt with Kenta's face printed on it, because of allergies. It was the only source of concern.
So Sugiura released a photo of Kenta, who had just reached his first birthday today, and requested that this article be sent to Fujita. However, the Boso Peninsula is concerned about Typhoon 19 hitting it directly on the 12th, and Fujita is preparing to take countermeasures, so there was no reply.

Sugiura embraced his dog, stroked his head and said, "Fujita is in a difficult situation right now. Let's pray for the safety of his home, no, for the reconstruction of those affected in Chiba Prefecture (by the typhoon). Let's pray that there will be no further damage. When the typhoon passes, and then Fujita will take notice of you".
Kenta barked in response (and nodded tearey eyed).
Surely, the Sugiura family angel must be deeply carved into the heart of the beast, and if the King Shame beast combination continues, then a shot at the GHC Tag Team title will be just not a dream.

The biggest one however, continues.
At the Sumo Hall/Tokyo event on November 2nd, Sugiura will collide with Michael Elgin (32) in the first GHC National Championship match which received exceptional treatment from Riki Choshu (67), the company president of LIDET Entertainment, in announcing it.
Sugiura will be 50 years old next May, and if he does become champion and repeats the defense, it will be an unprecedented achievement for the first 50 year old champion.
"The legendary president, Choshu, made the announcement personally. Even though I am called a company dog, at the Johnny office*, I am a prominent presence recognized by Johnny, Mary and Julie*. It's the same as superstar, Noriyuki Higashiyama, even after turning 50."

*Johnny Kitagawa: deceased manager and producer of several Japanese boy bands, and founder of a talent agency. He died in July 2019.

*Julie Keiko Fujishima, the eldest daughter of Mary Kitagawa (Johnny's sister). They all work for the company.
