When Hall of Famer Steven Oozaru found himself randomly drawn to face Banging in the First Round of Tournament 66 -- he was forced to do something he swore he'd never do. He lost the fight and the will to fight, choosing to immediately end his time in The Great Arena.
He's made occasional appearances since - winning Silver for his country at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games, and making a surprise appearance in the 2017 Battle Royale. The latter a prelude to his surprise return at Supercard 89: Breaking Point - where he was once again compelled to come to the aid of his underdog former Tag Team partner: PaganFreak!
Loyalty to his friends has always been a part of Oozaru's character. While confirming his return during the February 13th edition of Monday Night Games, Oozaru made it clear he still has no intention of fighting his old friend Banging -- but that doesn't mean he won't fight for him!
Oozaru has returned with an overwhelming sense of obligation. Not only for the burden taken up by PaganFreak, but for the very manipulations of Banging that PF was trying to put an end to.
DaemonX has had a hold on Banging since the final days of the ICWW promotion, where a secret history turned the masked Kiwi into a pawn for DaemonX. Oozaru had sworn he would free his Pacific Connection partner of DaemonX's influence during one of the last record instalments of ICWW: Aftershock, but the closure of the company meant a resolution was never achieved.
At Pre-Show 90, Oozaru will be fighting for Banging's soul when he finally faces DaemonX in a one on one grudge match over 12 years in the making! The first explosive battle added to an already hotly anticipated February card, where Genku will also aim to end the dispute over his reign as Undisputed Champion!
Pre-Show 90 (February 26th, 2017):
- To Be Advised versus Genku (c) [Undisputed Championship]
- Oozaru versus DaemonX
