News:
- Five new Chiimu Tora graduates were added to the Super Japan . They are: MAMMOTH Kagawa, Dragon Mask, Toramusha, and the Nagasaki Bulldogs (Dynamite Boy & Eiji Kid Shimura)
- Tiger Kikuchi confirmed that "Dragon Fury" Minobu Tetsuhara has been invited to join Chiimu Tora, and that his teaming with Jun Kikuchi and a mystery partner on the 12th would be his first official match as a member of the group.
- "Tetsuhara is a talented young man. His tenure in Burning Spirit Pro Wrestling set the foundation for the man he is today. He's still a little rough around the edged, but I will work with him to enhance his training. You will see a new and improved Tetsuhara on June 12th!"
- Kikuchi also mentioned his recent meeting with Yamasahita: "Yamashita-sama and I had a meeting to discuss my complaint regarding Takahiro KEOKI's injuries at the hands of Despair & Super Bakemono. I feel he should have more time to recover from his wounds, but Yamashita refuses to listen to reason. KEOKI has signed a release form, but I fear my student has allowed his desire for vengeance to overcome his reason. If this continues, I fear for the continued relationship between Chiimu Tora and Super Japan"
- When asked about the possible return of Junya Toroyama, Kikuchi had no comment.
- Zenmen Sensou will be held on June 26th, 2004. Two confirmed matches are Kentaro Kawasaki vs Takayoshi Asakura in the finals of the Baba Cup to crown the Universal Champion, and Despair defending his Gunryo title against either Takahiro KEOKI, or "Lone Wolf" Brody Thunder.
