Shinsuke Nakamura will attempt to "take the world" on February 17th when he faces Kurt Angle to determine the true IWGP Heavyweight Champion. Nakamura's 2nd generation title and Angle's 3rd generation title will be on the line in this unification match, with so much at stake. It is a chance for Nakamura to establish himself as a special New Japan ace with 2008 beginning, taking down a man with the highest rank available in professional wrestling - global fame, a golden background, and plenty of results and titles to show for his pro wrestling career. If Nakamura wins, it will go down as his first defense, and if Angle wins, he will become the 49th champion on the official title history. The 1/27 Korakuen card sees two junior title matches headline, the top one being Wataru's V2 defense of the IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title against the man he lifted the belt from, Taguchi. Wataru is hoping to win this match and defend his newly acquired title in TNA and other organizations. Meanwhile, RISE has the chance of grabbing its third IWGP title when Minoru & Devitt challenge the all-star team of Dick Togo & TAKA Michinoku for the IWGP Jr. Tag Team Title. New Japan vs. ZERO1-MAX continues on the same card, stemming off Kanemoto and Tanaka's heated exchanges yesterday, in a tag match, while El Samurai returns after a lengthy injury in the opener, a Black Cat memorial tag. Four more matches were also announced for the upcoming LOCK UP show at Korakuen, each following the New Japan vs. Indie Alliance theme that the bigger matches have. Also, the mystery opponents for Koshinaka's return match have been announced as Voodoo Murders' TARU & YASSHI.
