This was decided upon back in January but just announced today. Also announced was a show at the Yokohama Arena on November 17th which will be a combination show between Pride & All Japan. Kazuyoshi Ishii will be the public promoter and Billy Goldberg will be in the main event of the show. Also on the show will be people like Bob Saap, Don Frye, Sam Greco, and more
