As big a star as Big Van Vader was in WCW & WWF, you can multiply that by a thousand in Japan. He is one of the most popular gaijins in history. It was announced Monday that the 20th anniversary of Vader's debut in Japan will be commemorated with a show on Jan. 5 at Differ Ariake in Tokyo. The show is being promoted by the indy fed MAHEKEN. MAHEKEN owner Tomo Hashimoto is a long time pal and recently spent some time at Vader's home in Colorado. The show is called BIG VAN CRUSH. This is a pretty big show for a company that normally runs in much smaller halls.
It is not known as yet what Big Van Vader will be doing on this show. Maybe a match with his buddy Hashimoto. But a couple of joshi matches were announced for the show. The big news is that ROH & SHIMMER star Daizee Haze will make her first ever trip to Japan. SHIMMER owner Dave Prazak tells me she will appear on this show only. Her tag team partner will be K-Dojo veteran Yuu Yamagata. The opponents are JWP's Arisa Nakajima and MAHEKEN's Io Shirai. Io's sister Mio Shirai will face Fuuka in another match. It was also announced that Angel Williams will make her first ever trip to Japan to appear on this show.
