Hiromitsu Kanehara

**Hiromitsu Kanehara** (金原弘光, *Kanehara Hiromitsu*, (born October 5, 1970 in Owariasahi, Aichi)) is a Japanese mixed martial artist of Korean descent who competes in the Light Heavyweight division.

Although starting as a professional wrestler in 1991, Kanehara did not have much success as such, and eventually abandoned professional wrestling when his then-home circuit, Fighting Network RINGS, abandoned the discipline in the late 1990s. Unlike most shoot-style comrades such as Masayuki Naruse, Wataru Sakata, and Minoru Suzuki, who returned to regular *puroresu*, Kanehara only has done sporadic appearances.

Historic X-Over (2024)

The official logo of the event

**Historic X-Over (2024)** is an upcoming professional wrestling co-produced by New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW) and World Wonder Ring Stardom (Stardom). The show will take place in 2024. This will be the second show co-produced by both promotions owned by Bushiroad NJPW and Stardom. This will be the second event under the Historic X-Over name.

## Production

### Background

On October 10, 2023, NJPW and Stardom held a joint business strategy presentation, where both promotions announced the return for the event in 2024, with NJPW wrestler Shota Umino suggesting fan votes to decide the teams for the event.

Both promotions began holding the event in 2022, taking place at the newly built Ariake Arena on November 20. The show marked the first time NJPW and Stardom presented shows together, with both being owned by the same parent company Bushiroad, as opposed to holding separately. Both promotions also announced the creation of the IWGP Women's Championship, with the inaugural champion being crowned at the first Historic X-Over.

In Puroresu, promotions typically keep their promotions gender specific, with promotions either promoting male or female wrestlers and not a mixed roster. As part of the Bushiroad umbrella, NJPW focuses only on promoting male talent, and Stardom focuses on female talent, due to being a *Joshi* promotion. Bushiroad President Takaaki Kidani went public with their plan of a global expansion, including Bushiroad's investment in the growing popularity of the women's professional wrestling market, which included the acquisition of Stardom in October 2019.

### Storylines

Historic X-Over (2024) will feature professional wrestling matches that involved different wrestlers from pre-existing scripted feuds and storylines. Wrestlers portray villains, heroes, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that build tension and culminate in a wrestling match or series of matches.

Hiro Saito

**Hiroyuki Saito** (斎藤 弘幸) (born May 25, 1961 in Kawasaki, Japan) is a professional wrestler best known by the shortened name of **Hiro Saito** (ヒロ 斉藤).

## Career

A former judoka, Hiro debuted in 1978 in New Japan Pro Wrestling. In May 1985, he defeated The Cobra to win the WWF Junior Heavyweight Championship only to lose back to him 2 months later. Saito went on to defeat The Cobra for the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Championship on July 28, 1985 only to lose the title right back to him the same night.

Saito soon jumped to All Japan Pro Wrestling, where he formed the **Calgary Hurricanes** with Shunji Takano. He competed in the All Japan World Junior Heavyweight Championship tournament in July 1986 where he defeated Brad Armstrong in the final to become the first World Junior Heavyweight Champion. After 4 months as champion, Saito lost the title to former stablemate Kuniaki Kobayashi.

Saito joined the group known as the Raging Staff and soon won the IWGP Tag Team Championship with Super Strong Machine from Hiroshi Hase and Kensuke Sasaki in December 1990, which they held for 3 months until Hase and Sasaki won them back in March 1991. After Raging Staff dispersed, Saito joined Team Wolf with Masahiro Chono and Hiroyoshi Tenzan, and was later part of nWo Japan.

In 2006, after spending many years in relegation, Saito quit New Japan again and is helping Tatsumi Fujinami's Muga promotion, and also participating in independent matches.

Hiro Saito was the first Japanese wrestler to use and popularize the **senton**, or seating splash off the top rope, in matches. He is not related to Masa Saito, despite sharing name and appearance (aside from the blond hair); Hiro shortened his name to "Hiro" to copy him and also as a means of sharing fortune ("good luck").

Iwasa Gundam Road to Formation - 15 Match Series

**The Iwasa Gundam Road to Formation** is a fifteen-match trial series Takamichi Iwasa undertook in Toryumon Japan from July 2003 through October 2003.

## Overview

In 2003 2003, Takamichi Iwasa was looking to align himself into a unit. For several months, it seemed that he would be taken in by Crazy MAX, as they ran him through a "Takamichi Iwasa Strengthening Campaign" for several months. When the time came for them to announce their newest recruit, they kicked Iwasa to the curve and instead chose Jun Ogawauchi. Following this betrayal, Iwasa decided to take matters into his own hands and form his own unit, which would be called Iwasa Gundam.

He quickly recruited Raimu Mishima, who had just been kicked out of Shin M2K for being terrible. The two set out to recruit more members, with Anthony W. Mori as one of their primary targets. However, they were stopped short when the Toryumon Japan office refused to recognize the group as an official unit. The duo appealed to President Takashi Okamura, who finally agreed to recognize them if Iwasa could win just a single match out of a fifteen-match series.

The task turned out to be a nightmare for the duo, in particular Iwasa. He had suddenly developed a crippling weakness to the Camel Clutch and all of his opponents in the series would lock him in the submission hold to win. While Iwasa never actually surrendered while in the move, he still lost as a result of Mishima throwing in the towel. The match against Stalker Ichikawa was considered the best chance Iwasa had at scoring the one win he needed. He had locked Ichikawa in the Camel Clutch and was about to win when disaster struck. In his excitement, Mishima accidentally dropped the towel in the ring, thereby making Ichikawa the winner by TKO.

In the final match, Iwasa faced Mishima himself, who was competing with a broken arm. In the end, Mishima locked Iwasa in the Camcel Clutch and he was forced to surrender. Because Iwasa did not win a match, Iwasa Gundam would never see the light of day as an official unit. Both when head to the United States for "warrior training." When they returned, they claimed to have found their true American heritage. Takamichi Iwasa became Michael and Raimu Mishima became Daniel. For the next few years, they would be known as The Florida Brothers.

GHC Tag Team Championship

The **GHC Tag Team Championship (GHCタッグ王座, *GHC Taggu Ōza*)** is the top tag team championship in the Pro Wrestling NOAH (NOAH) promotion. "GHC" is the acronym of the NOAH's governing body, the Global Honored Crown. The title was introduced on October 19, 2001, when Vader and Scorpio defeated Jun Akiyama and Akitoshi Saito in a tournament final. Though it is typically contested among heavyweights (>100 kg (220 lb; 16 st)), some junior heavyweights such as Naomichi Marufuji and Yoshinari Ogawa have held it in the past. The GHC Tag Team Championship is not the only tag team title contested for in NOAH; the GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Championship is also sanctioned by NOAH. All GHC Tag Team Title matches and contract signings were overseen and introduced by NOAH title commissioner Joe Higuchi until his death in October 2010 and he was replaced by Harley Race.

Like most professional wrestling championships, the title is won via the result of a scripted match. Title changes usually happen at NOAH-promoted tours; although the title has only changed hands twice at a non-NOAH event, it has been defended in several other promotions.
