IWGP Heavyweight Championship Match
Shinsuke Nakamura defends against the 2010 New Japan Cup Winner, Hirooki Goto

NJPW Press Conference and Contract Signing.

This past Sunday, the match and date were officially set, as both 2010 NJ Cup winner, Hirooki Goto and NJPW's IWGP Heavyweight Champion, Shinsuki Nakamura, officially signed the contract for the IWGP Championship match to be held on 4/4 at Korakuen Hall. This is Hirooki Goto's second year in a row winning the coveted NJ Cup, and although last year's attempt to capture the IWGP Heavyweight Championship was unsuccessful, he is planning otherwise this year.

At the press conference, Hirooki stated, "The New Japan Cup is a symbol of strength, while the IWGP Championship is a symbol of excellence. Having won the cup again, I intend to prove myself by winning the IWGP Heavyweight Championship at Korakuen this year."

The champion replied, "Goto won the NJ Cup this year and proved himself a strong competitor for my title. However, Goto needs not to blab so much. I'm not looking for a war of words. He may have won the tournament, but he will not win my championship."

Also, following their statements, Goto was asked in a Q&A session about his injury from last year. Goto replied, "My injury is over and I am fully recovered."

Indeed 4/4 at Korakuen Hall is shaping up to be an incredible event. I will also be keeping you updated as word filters down about the other tournaments coming up in New Japan Puroresu, including the Super J, and this year's inaugural Super J Tag Team Tournament.
