WrestleKingdom 12: Analyzing the match card for Tokyo Dome Showdown!

#5 Bold men go Bald!

Minoru Suzuki (c) vs Hirooki Goto, a loser goes bald deathmatch for the NEVER Openweight Championship

Expect some terrible Suzuki Gun interference in this radical match. For a while, it seemed like the veteran stalwart Hirooki Goto would have to make do with a measly multi-man match.

But the intense rivalry that has simmered between him and Minoru Suzuki is all set to blow in epic fashion. The two men will hit hard out of the gate, in a terrifying showdown. Bloodbaths and beyond can be expected, with one individual losing their locks.

At this point, it seems like Goto is preparing to ride the sailboat to legend status but despite Suzuki's tenacity, his return has come quite cold. The NEVER Openweight championship was a consolation for the Suzuki Gun leader.

He'll remain a mainstay of the upper mid-card, but Suzuki doesn't need a title or even his hair for that.

Who Should Win: Minoru Suzuki

Who Will Win: Hirooki Goto
