Triple Crown vs IWGP Heavyweight

HUGE news on the Japanese wrestling front. The prestigous Triple Crown of AJPW and the IWGP Heavyweight title of NJPW will both be up for grabs in a title vs title match on 2/20! Huge, huge, huge news. This would be like the WWF and WCW titles both being on the line in 1998. Hiroyoshi Tenzan will go into the match with the IWGP, but the Triple Crown could be either Toshiaki Kawada or Satoshi Kojima. My prediction is that it will be Satoshi Kojima. Kojima's push has taken forever and he has yet to take AJPW's ultimate prize. Plus we get a TenKoji rematch. Though I wonder if the match will go to a time limit draw, which seems the safe way out of creating a Quadra Crown. The first match between TenKoji went to a draw, and a second one with some of the most important titles in the world on the line would put both of them in stronger positions in their respective companies. Plus the IWGP really needs some stability to mean something. Also if Kojima lost the match he would have something like a 4 day reign with the TC. The other way it could go is Kawada retains, god forbid. Then it would be easier to have Tenzan win. A draw might work there too. Who knows, this is pretty fucking huge though.

I'll try and find a good Tenzan match for you to watch. I'm still pulling for Kojima to win the whole thing though. COZY KOJIMA!
