Kuroshio TOKYO Japan came to ring and addressed the crowd saying that he left Ikeman Jiro in America:
I left Ikemen in America, I’m Kuroshio Tokyo Japan! Please call me Kuroshio Tokyo Japan! I just came back yesterday. Takeshita told me these guys are great in DDT and we have Ryogoku coming. So…can I face them!?
