When NOSAWA announced the return of the GHC Hardcore Championship, Ninja Mack was the first wrestler to be named in the title scene, but no one expected the other was going to be Masato Tanaka. In the second episode of “Monday Magic”, Tanaka had his first match against Mack for the GHC Hardcore title, and it was an extreme battle. Mack stood against the great Tanaka, but the experience he had on his favour was the key on his victory in Shinjuku FACE.

Tanaka won the GHC Hardcore belt and quickly declared that he was looking for any challenger to come. Tanaka said he was going to make this belt historic once again with a great title reign, and already challenged anyone and everyone in NOAH and the world. The 50-year old Tanaka is still active, and is still on great shape, looking to write another chapter on his wrestling career. Who could challenge Tanaka for the GHC Hardcore Championship now? Only time will tell.
