Notice that HHH is still listed as champion which could be an indication that he will be holding onto the belt until after The Royal Rumble.

Jericho and Christian vs. Val Venis and Lance Storm?! :mad:

With the exception of that match the line up looks pretty good. They probably just said HHH is the World Champion by default so no one gets thrown off.

[The CyNick]

Personally I would wager money that HHH will not be losing the title before Mania, however that listing doesn't really mean much of anything.

If they are planning a title switch at the Rumble they aren't going to release a match listing with say HBK as champion, that would be pretty stupid. If you look at the lineups HBK could also walk in as champ and face Flair one night and HHH the next. Also, I think that card will be changed because they have HHH vs Kane, which was the original plan for the Rumble, now that they changed that, perhaps the match in Japan will be changed as well.

Them be some shitty ass cards.

Poor Japanese.

Those cards look pretty good... Val Venis & Lance Storm vs. Chris Jericho & Christian will be good, i mean Storm and Jericho in Japan? You know they will rock the house...
Van Dam v.s Orton isn't a bad thing either. Flair and Micheals? What more could you ask for. Triple H v.s Kane would be good to watch live...

Batista v.s Kane could be pretty good, it has been before. The Dudleys v.s Jericho and Christian should be good, it useually is.
Shawn Michaels & Rob Van Dam vs. Triple H & Ric Flair will probably rock.

Storm and Hardy could be great, Shawn Micheals v.s Triple H will be great, as always.

Looks like the Japanese are getting some good stuff.

Batista vs Kane? That doesn't make much sense, aside from the whole Hoss War perspective.

[c4g2]

Batista vs Kane is pretty lame, since both of them have 'monster' reputations that would be hurt if one of them loses.

I would expect a DQ or no-contest.
