Eiji Ezaki is standing on crutches at a podium in front of a lot of members of the japanese press. He begins by announcing that NWJ would begin running shows again post haste, and they would start off with a big PPV called "Reborn In Transition" which will be held Saturday night.

Ezaki then motioned for someone to come out of the back, and a familar face stepped out towards the podium. Tatsumi "Elder Dragon" Fujinami made his way out to the suprise of the japanese reporters. Fujinami took the mic and announced that Ezaki had sold his portion of NWJ to him, and that from now on he was the acting head of NWJ.

Ezaki then said that since he is now able to stand for longer periods of time, that he would like to dedicate more time into the long and painful road of re-learning how to walk and move freely.

Fujinami said that Ezaki will still be involved in the NWJ and has been offered a place on the NWJ Title Commitee. Ezaki mentioned that he accepted the position, and that he would like to stay as active in NWJ as he possibly can.

Fujinami then announced that as new head of NWJ, that he was going to attempt to unify the NWJ heavyweight and GWA world titles. Saying Yuji Nagata vs. Masahiro Chono would headline the event. Tenzan, who was supposed to be Nagata's first challenger, will defend his TV title against Shinsuke Nakamura, and Tag Team Title holders Koji Kanemoto and Kaz Hayashi will defend against an unnamed team. Fujinami said that the full lineup would be finalized very soon.

Fujinami and Ezaki ended the press conference with a handshake.
