[CENTER][IMG]http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7086/war7bn.gif[/IMG] [B][SIZE="4"]WA[COLOR="Orange"]R[/color]: Wrestle Association ''R''[/size][/b] [B][U][SIZE="3"]27th of July.[/SIZE][/U][/B] [I]A date that means alot to alot of people. Especially Genichiro Tenryu. This is the date where WAR will host a reunion show. A reunion show of grandeur. But florating the internet, are rumors that WAR will officially retunr on that date. Until now Tenryu has declined all interviews about this rumor. He has stated that WAR will stay defunct, even though they will host the reunion show. But why does Tenryu turn down interview offers? And why has'nt he speaked public about the rumor? All waited, on the edge of their seats, for the WAR reunion show. [/I] [QUOTE][B][U]23rd of June[/U][/B] [I]Kobe, Honshu.[/I] Three men gathered around the up-set table, in the middle of the room. All three shook hands with eachother and the first person gestured for the two others to sit down. The two seating men were the legend [url=http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/1991/ultimodragon0ij.jpg]Ultimo Dragon[/url] and the god of puroresu [url=http://img223.imageshack.us/img223/4999/antonioinoki5mc.jpg]Antonio Inoki[/url]. They both sat and waited for what the third man, [url=http://img206.imageshack.us/img206/1369/genichirotenryu9ss.jpg]Genichiro Tenryu[/url], had to say. After a few starting words the three men began to discuss. Finance, wrestlers and acquirings. But not just for the sake of it. They sat and disussed the new uprising of WAR; Wrestling Association ”R”. All three planned that this promotion would officially restart after the month of July. Ultimo Dragon his skills to become the first man on the new roster of WAR. Genichiro agreed with pleasure and accepted the offer quick. The discussion continued well up the day, and it all ended with that WAR would re-open it's doors, in August. All three men bid farewell and returned to the homes. A new revolution had been started.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE][B][U]1st of July[/U][/B] [url]www.puroresufan.com[/url] [I](The [B]Latest News[/B] article, front page)[/I] [B]July[/B]. Rumors are still going all around the puroresu sites about how Genichiro Tenryu is going to re-open WAR after their reunion show. But none of this has been confirmed, yet. Until now. We, of puroresufan.com, can officially say that as of August 2006, Wrestle Association ”R” will re-start. It will be run by Genichiro Tenryu and alos booked by him. There hasyet to be announced a roster, though we can say that Ultimo Dragon has got a place. For now, we can't tell anymore, as we know just as little as you do. Remember to click in, as this story develops.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE][B][U]16th of July[/U][/B] [url]www.puroresufan.com[/url] [I](The [B]Latest News[/B] article, front page)[/I] [B]July[/B]. Today, Genichiro Tenryu, announced that the [url=http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/552/j1heavyweightchampionship7al.jpg]J-1 Heavyweight Championship[/url] is coming back to WAR and out of retirement. Rumors have been all around, that the championship is gonna fought for at the reunion show. We can't, off course, acknowledge this as we don't have any official statement from Tenryu himself.[/QUOTE] [I]And so the new WAR had been officially re-started. Or almost. Everyone knew about it and every puroresu fan could'nt wait till the reunion show. What would happen? Tenryu had planned to keep the style of wrestling as pure as possible. But would prove a succes for WAR, in this new and modern time?[/I][/CENTER]

WAR Reunion Show (27/8 - 06) [CENTER][IMG]http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/9947/wrestleassociationr0lt.gif[/IMG] [FONT="Palatino Linotype"][SIZE="4"][B]WA[COLOR="Orange"]R[/COLOR]: Reunion Show[/B][/SIZE] [I]Fukuoka Dome[/I][/FONT] [QUOTE][/CENTER]The stage was set for a grand reunion show, and so it was. People from all over Kyushu island, gathered too se the [B]WAR[/B] faithfuls take on new blood. The show was set in an invasion type of way, as stars from both [B]AJPW[/B] and [B]NJPW[/B], competed against [B]WAR[/B] superstars. The card was lined up with great matches and the crowd was really into the whole show. One could really see that the news of the [B]WAR[/B] reformation, had been a deciding factor for the sake of crowd numbers. The first part og the show was mainly upper midcarders to midcarders, from [B]AJPW[/B] and [B]NJPW[/B], facing off against [B]WAR[/B] talent. The matches were booked in an exciting manner and all the matches turned out as successes. The [B]WAR[/B] stars were mainly the ones cheered for, and the opposite for [B]AJPW[/B] and [B]AJPW[/B] wrestlers. One match though stodd out, as Ultimo Dragon took on Tigier Mask IV. It was a great bout, and it was afterwards stated that both men enjoyed the match very much. The two had worked finely together and had delivered certainly a match of the year candidate. The crowd was hot as the show entered the second half, which saw more of a strong style, then super junior and cruiserweight. The matches were up to expectation as the previous, but certainly the main event recieved huge attention. It was founder versus founder. The God of Puroresu, Antonio Inoki came out of a hiatus, for one night only, to face Mr. Puroresu, Genichiro Tenryu. The main crowd affliation was towards Tenryu, but some were also heading with Inoki. The match was indeed one for the books as classic moves and submissions were used, but alo new moves were put in the competition. Everyone enjoyed this match, even though it was a little slow, but the crowd seemed to oversee this factor. Post match saw a handshake between the two, recieving great acknowledgement from the crowd. As the show went off the air and people ventured out of the arena, the general feeling was that the show had been more of a succes. It had been a revolution.
