New Japan 11/03 Results

New Japan ran it's big Chono 20th Anniversary Show yesterday. The main event saw Hiroyoshi Tenzan fall to Chono AGAIN. This is the third time in a row Chono has pinned Tenzan, and Tenzan is the guy who's supposed to be facing Kawada in the main event of NJPW's big Osaka Dome Show next weekend. It's now probably a safe bet to say Kawada will go over in that match and lose the title to Satoshi Kojima in December.
Another interesting note from the show is that Mitsuya Nagai & Masayuki Naruse captured the All Asian Tag Team Titles from Genichiro Tenryu & Masanobu Fuchi. This almost guarantees Nagai will be Kawada's partner in the Real World Tag League, as he even won the match using Kawada's Stretch Plum on Fuchi.
