The highly-anticipated matchup between Tetsuya Naito and Chris Jericho at Wrestle Kingdom 13 will now be contested under No Disqualification rules.
The match, which will be for at the IWGP Intercontinental Championship, is one of the most personal matches on the card. Both men have vowed to end the career of the other and it appears that they’ll be working within the confines of a match that will allow them to do just that.
Chris Jericho has said that he is not Tranquilo, he’s crazy. Naito has always been a bit of a loose cannon and this match may leave the most lasting impression.
