Toshiaki Kawada Faces Tiger Mask For The First Time

Toshiaki Kawada told the press today that he was excited that he would be facing Tiger Mask in a tag match on the Real Japan show on 6/8 at Korakuen Hall saying that he has been wanting to face TM for 25 years since he saw him wrestle for the first time on TV. Kawada credited TM saying that he made him become a big fan of the high-flying style of wrestling that changed the business and it would be an honor to face him in the ring. Kawada has worked with TM in the past as he helped train him for his Triple Crown defense against Don Frye in October 2003 and they teamed one time in an All-Japan ring on 1/3/04 at Korakuen Hall.
