AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Title: KAI defeated Kenny Omega (c) with the Splash Plancha (20:50).
*Kenny Omega fails in V6. KAI becomes the 32nd AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Champion!

Kenny Omega’s reign of terror (or cool if you are on his side) in All Japan’s Jr. Heavyweight division has come to an end. His title run was finally put to an end by KAI in what was Kenny’s sixth defence of the belt. KAI’s rivalry with Omega in All Japan has spread into a small feud with DDT itself after KAI commented that DDT wrestlers are not proper pro wrestlers. But now that he brought the belt back to All Japan on the main event of their show in Korakuen Hall today, he may consider the matter settled and move onto new challenges. As for Omega, who knows what else he has planned for Japan in the near future.

AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) defeated Shuji Kondo with the One Winged Angel (21:01).
*V4 for Kenny Omega.

Another All Japan Jr. Heavyweight bites the dust in the company’s attempt to unseat Kenny Omega as their champion. This time it was Shuji Kondo that stepped up to the plate only to fall to the One Winged Angel. After the match KAI came out to challenge Omega to a title match. Kenny extended his hand for a handshake only to smack KAI over the head with the title belt. He then threw insults at KAI, calling him a fool who was not a hero to the All Japan fans. Omega could next defend the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title back home in DDT on April 1st when he faces Shigehiro Irie in a singles match. That is of course if Irie drops enough weight to qualify as a Jr. Heavyweight.

A few days before Sanshiro Takagi & Takao Soma were supposed to defend their KO-D Tag Team Title in DDT, they go over to STYLE-E to defend the belts against Masato Shibata & Shota. Although the challengers got some momentum during the match, the match ended with Takagi giving Shota a Spiccoli Driver and then handing him over to Soma for a Go 2 Sleep and finally the Boma Ye to win the match.

Omega Defeats Hayashi, V3 For AJPW Jr. Title

February 3, 2012

AJPW “40TH ANNIVERSARY YEAR EXCITE SERIES 2012”, 03/02/2012
Tokyo Korakuen Hall
2,100 Fans – Super No Vacancy

AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kenny Omega (c) defeated Kaz Hayashi with the One-Winged Angel (21:55).
*V3 for Kenny Omega.

Kenny Omega scored another career defining victory over one of the best Jr. Heavyweight wrestlers in the world today in All Japan Pro Wrestling. Omega made his third defence of the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight Title by defeating former champion Kaz Hayashi in the semi-main event of today’s show in Korakuen Hall. Hayashi has one of the more outstanding title reigns in puroresu with his most recent title run lasting 17 defences. However, Omega was not intimidated and was more concerned with living up to his claims of being the “cool champion” All Japan needs right now. The One-Winged Angel crushed Hayashi’s chance of winning back the title and Kenny celebrated his win with his cornerman Michael Nakazawa.

After the match, Kenny was confronted by two other AJPW wrestlers KAI and Shuji Kondo. Both of them appealed for title shots. Omega refused KAI on the basis that he defeated him twice already this year, the second time for the title itself. Before Kenny could respond to Shuji’s challenge, Nakazawa blindsided KAI with a chairshot. Omega then said he wanted his next title defence to take place in DDT and left it at that.

When interviewed backstage, Kenny said it was tough to be on the same level as Hayashi but he is now above him and has nothing left to prove. However, he still wants to earn the big money he gets by being the champion. Plus he cherishes his friends and family, friends like Nakazawa. His immediate plans are to now go home so he can eat curry and chocolate croissants.

AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Kenny Omega defeated KAI (c) with the Croyt’s Wrath (20:43).
*KAI fails in V3. Kenny Omega becomes the 31st AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight Champion!

A few months back, around the time Kota Ibushi was the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Champion for New Japan Pro Wrestling, his tag team partner Kenny Omega decided that his goal for 2011 was to go over to All Japan Pro Wrestling and win their Jr. Heavyweight belt. Today he achieved that goal in Sumo Hall, an arena where success had previously eluded him. Kenny defeated the champion KAI after hitting him with the Croyt’s Wrath twice, once from the top rope. Kenny now aims to be the cool champion that All Japan is currently lacking. He already has his first challenger lined up. Minoru has stepped up to grab the first title shot and is someone that Kenny lost to during the AJPW Jr. Heavyweight League that took place just last month. However, Kenny’s response to the challenge was he wanted the title match to take place in DDT.

Several DDT wrestlers attended the show to be in Kenny’s corner for the match. Kota Ibushi, Keisuke Ishii and Michael Nakazawa were there to show support. Also some of them might have also gone along so they could meet the Momoiro Clover Z pop group who were performing during the show.
