SAMOA JOE ANSWERS LAX’S CHALLENGE
It was announced this past Saturday that SST/LAX of Homicide & Hernandez has challenged Samoa Joe and a partner of Joe’s choice to a JAPW Tag Team Title match. The reason behind the challenge was because according to LAX, LAX wants to make the JAPW Tag Team Championships the most sought out and respected tag team titles in all of professional wrestling. Samoa Joe, a former TNA World Tag Team Champion himself, accepted the challenge and told JAPW.net that he has picked…………………………………………………………
JAPW Heavyweight Champion LOW KI as his partner!!!
JAPW officials are shocked about Joe choosing Low Ki as his partner. Calls to Low Ki were unreturned, but Low Ki did send a message to JAPW.net confirming that he has accepted Joe’s offer to take on LAX for the JAPW Tag Team Championships!
It’s now official on September 8th, in Rahway NJ it will be:
For the JAPW Tag Team Championships
SST/LAX (Homicide & Hernandez) defend against JAPW Champion Low Ki & Samoa Joe!
Obviously there are so many questions going into this match. What is the status of SST/LAX? What does this mean for the SST? Why would Low Ki accept the offer of a man he’s gone to battle against in JAPW many times? What is going through Low Ki’s long time friend & trainer, Homicide’s head? This match is a huge match of epic proportions which could change the face of JAPW for time to come. JAPW.net will have more on this explosive match in a future update.
While the JAPW Heavyweight Championship won’t be on the line at “Calm Before The Storm”, the JAPW NJ State Championship will be defended.
On September 8, 2007 Grim Reefer will have his toughest challenge yet, defending in a four-way match against B -Boy, Jay Lethal & Azraiel!
There’s so much history between these four competitors in JAPW. Grim Reefer, who’s defended the belt against all comers since defeating Frankie Kazarian earlier this year, will take on several wrestlers who’s he never defeated before in JAPW rings. Will Reefer be able to come up strong in these “high-times” during his championship reign, or will he burnt? It remains to be seen on 09/08.
The three challengers in this match are no strangers to the JAPW NJ State Championship or for Championship Gold for that matter! Jay Lethal is a triple crown champion in JAPW. Azraiel held the JAPW NJ State Championship several times and also has tag gold on his resume. “The New Age Punisher” B-Boy, also a former tag team champion, was an undefeated JAPW NJ State Champion. In fact, B-Boy never lost his belt and this is his first rematch for the championship since being stripped of the belt in 2005, which Azraiel ironically won!
This match has many different stories heading into it. Jay Lethal & Azraiel, who made the JAPW NJ State Championship one of the most prestigious belts in all of wrestling in 2004-2005, recently put everything aside and teamed up, and won the JAPW Tag Championships. Lethal & Azraiel are owed a JAPW Tag Team Title rematch, but what should happen if one of them were to win this match? Will Lethal & Azraiel be on the same page? Where are these stars mentally? We might be on the verge of seeing one of the hottest feuds in JAPW history revisited once again!
B-Boy has made a name for himself since returning to JAPW rings earlier this year. B-Boy, perhaps the forgotten about member in SST, looks to stand out as his own person by winning more gold for SST. With all the JAPW gold besides the JAPW NJ State Championship in SST’s hands, B-Boy looks to bring the missing belt back into the SST fold. However, will there even be an SST by the time “Calm Before The Storm” is over?
A Special Challenge Match has been signed for 9/8 in Rahway, NJ, as the returning Frankie Kazarian takes on Chris Hero!
Kazarian, who’s gone through a character transformation in TNA, only to recently find himself, looks to get back on track in JAPW. Kazarian, a former JAPW NJ State Championship looks to move into the next tier in JAPW as he challenges perennial main event challenger, Chris Hero!
Hero, a technical wizard and one of the hottest commodities in wrestling has made it clear that he plans on adding the JAPW Heavyweight Championship to his impressive trophy collection. Kazarian plans on roadblocking that goal as Kazarian is hungry and wants to be the top dog in JAPW. Both of these wrestlers were considered as number 1 contenders to Low Ki’s JAPW Heavyweight Championship before Low Ki accepted Joe’s offer to team with him against LAX. This match will definitely have JAPW Heavyweight Title ramifications and we’ll find out on 09/08 who stands tall.
Johnny D. Looking To Add Members to the D-Factor?
Johnny D. is easily the most accomplished manager in JAPW, as he has guided many JAPW wrestlers to all sorts of championship gold. Perhaps Johny D is looking to mold another championship wrestler, based on his recent actions.
JAPW.net has found out that Johnny D. was in JAPW offices rummaging through several wrestler contracts. Furthermore, Johnny D. was seen entering several JAPW wrestlers phone numbers in his Sidekick. This has sparked rumors that Johnny D. is looking to rebuild what once was the biggest stable in all of JAPW, The D-Factor. With Rhino losing the JAPW Championship and no longer around every event, in addition to a career threatening injury to his latest protege Kevin Matthews, perhaps Johnny D. is looking to bulk up his gang.
As of right now, Johnny D. only has Alicia under contract. However is Alicia more than enough for Johnny D.? Alicia & Johnny D. easily handled EC Negro on 07/21, but what would happen to The D-Factor if La Familia decided to retaliate? There are several members of the JAPW roster who could use the tutlege and wisdom of Johnny D and maybe there are several marriages in the making for the D-Factor. Time will tell the future for the D-Factor.
Archadia At a Career Crossroads?
Archadia, one of JAPW’s hottest stars since his debut in late 2004, has come to a career crossroads in JAPW. After establishing himself as the real thing in JAPW, Archadia has come up short time and time again in his quest to become the JAPW NJ Champion. Archadia recently co-won the Ultimate Rumble with Azraiel, but once again came up short in his pursuit for JAPW gold, as JAPW Heavyweight Champion Low Ki was able to thwart Archadia’s attempt at JAPW gold.
Archadia is a wrestler on a beaten path, and is a poster boy for Robert Frost’s famous poem about a road with two paths to choose from. What will Archadia do in JAPW? Will he look for acceptance in one of the major stables in JAPW? Will he continue to go down the straight path? It is no secret that Archadia is fuming mad that Azraiel, who co-won the Ultimate Rumble with Archadia is in the JAPW NJ State Championship match and Archadia is not. Will Archadia play the spoiler role in that match? What are Archadia’s plans? On 9/8, we might see who the true Archadia is.
Kenny Omega To Debut on September 8!
Kenny Omega, one of Canada’s hottest stars, will debut for JAPW on 09/08 against an unnamed opponent. JAPW has been known in the past to be the breeding ground for the top Canadian wrestlers in all of the wrestling world. Previous Canadian JAPW alum include Teddy Hart, Jack Evans, Beef Wellington, Kevin Steen, El Generico and many more. Omega has told JAPW.net that he looks to surpass all of these wrestlers accomplishments and plans on becoming the top wrestler ever in JAPW history.
Will Omega live up to the hype that he’s given himself? Find out on 09/08. For Kenny Omega highlight clips and a complete interview with Kenny Omega, which will help fans find out who Kenny Omega is, check out Kenny Omega Interview .
