Michinoku Pro will present a special event on November 16th at Yahaba Town Citizens General Gymnasium in Yahaba Town, Iwate (6:00 PM start time). Existing since 1993, Michinoku Pro was created with Iwate in mind, so many events in Iwate feature matches that are not seen anywhere else in the country. This time, the main event match will be for the vacant Tohoku Junior Heavyweight Championship!
A company without a champion
Michinoku Pro currently faces a familiar situation where the prestigious Tohoku Junior Heavyweight Championship is once again vacant. As a result of Fujita Hayato’s recent illness and championship relinquishment, a new champion worthy of carrying a title with a rich history behind it needed to be decided.
A unique aspect of Michinoku Pro is that it utilizes its Tohoku Junior Heavyweight Championship as the top championship in the company, as well as its only currently active singles title. It is highly regarded and has existed since August 2002 with the distinction of having legends and well-known talents as part of its legacy such as The Great Sasuke, Dick Togo, and TAKA Michinoku. Every wrestler who has represented the championship strived to uphold that legacy, leaving everything in the ring every time they defended it.
The solution has been set
Last month, two Tohoku Junior Heavyweight Title Contendership Battle Royals were held, which were won by Rui Hyugaji and Ringo Yamaya. They will face each other on November 16th to decide the new champion.
An established main eventer, this match is an opportunity for Rui Hyugaji to solidify his place in the singles division. Hyugaji has had three reigns as Tohoku Junior Heavyweight Champion, with his third lasting 553 days, which was record-breaking.
Meanwhile, Ringo Yamaya has quickly shown his worth in Michinoku Pro, accomplishing the impressive feat of becoming a co-holder of the Tohoku Tag Team Championship earlier this year with only one year of in-ring experience at that time. And now, in the second year of his career, Yamaya has a chance to win what represents the pinnacle of achievement in Michinoku Pro.
Tickets
The rest of the card will be announced in the near future, but it’s already clear that this will be a must-see event! For those of you who will be in Japan on November 16th, tickets are currently on sale for this event.
