Dissonance? At the Noah event at Korakuen Hall on the 21st March, "The Beast" Kazuyuki Fujita (50) defeated the champion Kenoh (36) and took the GHC National Championship.
Takashi Sugiura (50), the boss of The Sugiura Army, announced his challenge to the new champion who was delighted with his first title match in Noah. In response to this, Kendo Kashin, the "Devil Mask", who serves as an assistant to "The Beast", showed a strange response.
What is going on with The Sugiura Army, who boasts an iron unity? Fujita entered with all Sugiura Army members, except Kashin. Kenoh appeared with the members of Kongoh, and did his pose where he sticks out his fist. Fujita then stood in front of him, which caused a stir in the venue. Kashin appeared in the meantime, and joined as a second.
The match was intense, unfolding with a sense of tension, such as the stare-down for 7 and a half minutes. The Beast, who took a brilliant hit to the face from Kenoh, fell into a crisis, but managed to revive with amazing regenerative ability. Connecting with a spear and a power bomb, he took the three count with a return face kick.
After the match, Sugiura said, "I want to fight powerful Kazuyuki Fujita". Responding to the challenge, Fujita said "The basics are when and where. Anyone who wants to fight me, I will deal with, with or without a grudge." Afterwards, he dared to put the belt on over his clothes and left the venue to show it to his youngest daughter (12 years old), who had started searching on social media for him.
With eyes flashing, Kashin was watching from under the mask as the situation unfolded. Spreading his hands purposely, Kashin said "No way that Sugiura will challenge Fujita...this creates a crisis of division within The Sugiura Army. If this happens then I have no choice but to transfer from The Sugiura Army to Funky Express."
The Funky Army is the unit of Mohammed Yone and Shuhei Taniguchi, who have expanded their power by winning the "Loser Unit Absorption Match" against The Anti Wrestlers Alliance (Akitoshi Saito & Masao Inoue). Kashin boasted, "All the members of The Sugiura Army will leave and transfer." Fujita will be the only one to follow them. Anyway, it is too early to take this at face value, it is only the warped words of a man. However, what is worrisome is the behavior of the Devil Mask when participating in a tag team with Sugiura that day. Although his team won the match, he accidentally attacked the wrong target using the acrylic board attack, to be told "You're doing it on purpose!". In the comment booth after the match, Kazushi Sakuraba stood beside Sugiura, and left silently, displaying behavior that caused dissonance.
A few hours after the match, the first defense between Fujita and Sugiura was officially announced to be at the Nagoya Congress Center Event Hall on April 29th. The confrontation between the Sugiura Army members, doesn't seem to be simple.
