Hiroshi Hase sent in his decision on Minoru Suzuki's request to make 8/3 a Triple Crown & World Tag Title match, giving Suzuki a big "NO" sign. Hase stated that only the Tag Titles would be on the line, and for Suzuki to try and control his greed. Suwama's 2nd defense of the Triple Crown will most likely take place at Sumo Hall on 8/31 after being confirmed by Muto in a recent interview when attempting to make his second defense of the IWGP Heavyweight Title official for the big Sumo Hall event as well.

Muto defends IWGP! by Irving - 07/21/08 11:40 pm
After a successful first defense of the IWGP Title, Keiji Muto is aiming to have his second defense at the 8/31 Sumo Hall event in an All Japan ring. This would mark the first outside defense since 1996 in the UWF-i. President Sugehayashi of New Japan responded to Muto's request saying that it was totally not out of the question and he would propose it to the board of directors and have a decision as soon as possible.
