Well, it was bound to happen. Yuki Sato’s journey to Bolivia in search of Dick Togo so he could challenge him to a match with the Iron Man Heavymetalweight Title on the line has ended before it really began. During his flight to the South American country, Sato fell victim to altitude sickness which left him bedridden. Togo quickly found out where Sato was staying and he snuck into his room while wearing a referee shirt. Togo then pinned the sleeping Sato while quietly counted to three, becoming the new Iron Man champion. DDT already put a back-up plan in place for the 15th Anniversary Show. Since it is unlikely that Togo will be returning to Japan any time soon, the winner of the Iron Man Battle Royal at Budokan Hall will be crowned the No.1 Contender for the belt. It will then be up to that person to travel over to Bolivia and get the title back from Togo or whoever the champion will be by then.
Of course, that is if Togo stays in Bolivia. Who knows, he might show up at the Budokan after all…
