Kintaro Kanemura's Bio Part 2

Kanemura would then team up with Hido and Dick Togo to face Riki Choshu, Tomohiro Ishii, and Ichiro Yaguchi on August 30, 2004 at Korakuen Hall for the first ever Apache Army show which would be promoted by Kanemura. Choshu would deliver a cheap shot to Kanemura after delivering a lariat to him knocking him out before the bell. Choshu would continually stomp at Kanemura with Kanemura fighting back up just to get kicked back down. After continuing to knock Kanemura down, Choshu would follow up by putting Kanemura in the Scorpion Death Lock with Hido having to break Kanemura out of it with a chair. Choshu would tag Ishii in and Ishii would do a number on Kanemura with Choshu and Yaguchi helping him. Kanemura would fight back and deliver a belly to belly supplex on Ishii and tag in Dick Togo. Kanemura would eventually be tagged back in and begin a chop exchange with Ishii with Kanemura getting the last blow by delivering a kick down low to Ishii sending him to the ground. Kanemura would tag Hido, but Ishii would eventually manage to tag Choshu who take apart Hido with a lariat. Choshu would put Hido in the Scorpion Death Lock with Kanemura and Togo having to work together to make him break it. Hido would then follow up by putting Choshu in the Scorpion Death Lock himself with Choshu breaking it out of it himself. Hido would try to setup Ishii for Kanemura to deliver the Blast YAMA Senton Special, but Choshu would get in the way and knock Kanemura off the top of the turnbuckle to the outside. Yaguchi would help Ishii get the advantage back, and Ishii would never look back finishing Hido off with multiple brainbusters to score the victory over Hido for Choshu's team. Despite the loss, Kanemura would announce that the war between the Apache Army and Riki Choshu was not over, and the group would do the TNR Dance to end the show.

Kanemura would end up turning on Shinjiro Otani on September 12, 2004 at Korakuen Hall in a match between Otani and Masato Tanaka. Kanemura along with Wataru Sakata who had been apart of Shinjiro Otani's Army would turn on Otani after defeating Masato Tanaka in the main event. Kanemura and Sakata would announce they were leaving Otani's Army to join Tanaka's Army that consist of Masato Tanaka, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Yoshihito Sasaki, and Jun Kasai. Kanemura would team up with Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Wataru Sakata, Jun Kasai, and Yoshihito Sasaki to face the Zero-One team of Shinjiro Otani, Takao Omori, Aniki, Ikuto Hidaka, and Minoru Fujita in a 5 vs. 5 single elimination match with over the top rules applied on September 19, 2004 at Korakuen Hall with Kanemura once again scoring a pinfall victory over Otani with the Blast YAMA Senton Special for the victory for his team. It would be the second straight year in a row that Kanemura had score a pinfall victory over Otani on September 19, 2004.

Kintaro Kanemura would team up with Masato Tanaka and Wataru Sakata to face off against Piranhian Monster, Psycho the Death, and Super Virus better known as Super Crazy for HUSTLE-5 on September 20, 2004 at the Yokohama Arena in a Hardcore Match. Although Kanemura's team would be in control most of the match with Tanaka delivering an Awesome Bomb to Psycho the Death, the HUSTLE team would manage to escape with the victory after Psycho the Death would manage to rollup Wataru Sakata for the victory over Kanemura and his team.

Kanemura would promote another Kintaro Kanemura Festival show on October 10, 2004 at the Chiba Blue Field, but this time the show would be entitled Kintaro Kanemura Autumn Festival with Kanemura teaming up with TAKA Michinoku and Dick Togo to face Takashi Sasaki, GENTARO, and MIYAWAKI with Kanemura getting the pinfall victory with the Blast YAMA Senton Splash on MIYAWAKI for the victory.

Kanemura would then face off against Necro Butcher on October 22, 2004 at Korakuen Hall with both Kanemura and Butcher brawling early hitting each other with chairshots around ringside. Although Kanemura would take control most of the match, it would be a struggle trying to put on a good performance with Necro Butcher. Kanemura would spend most of the match hitting Necro with chairshots, sending him through a table, as well as brawling in the crowd and bloodying Butcher up before pinning him with a backslide for the victory.

Kanemura would team up with Masato Tanaka & Tetsuhiro Kuroda once again for HUSTLE-6 at the Nagoya Aichi Prefectural Gym on October 23, 2004 in a Hardcore Match against Tomohiro Ishii, Jun Kasai, and Tomoaki Honma with Tanaka getting the victory over Kasai after delivering a Roaring Elbow for the pinfall.

Kanemura would team up with Tetsuhiro Kuroda to get another shot at facing Riki Choshu as he would be teaming up with Tomohiro Ishii on December 27, 2004 at Korakuen Hall with a brawl between the Apache Army and Riki Choshu's group taking place before even the match would start with everyone fighting each other in the ring. Finally after everything was clear the match would start with Kuroda and Ishii going at it, but soon enough another brawl between the Apache Army and Riki Choshu's group taking place as Kanemura and Ishii would begin brawling all over Korakuen Hall before order would have to be restored. Kanemura would begin pounding on Ishii with Choshu having to make the save for Ishii. Kanemura would grab a chair and begin smashing it over Choshu although it would end up doing little damage as Choshu would take down Kanemura and then place in the Scorpion Death Lock for extremely long time. Kanemura would not be the same and Choshu would take advantage of that and finish off Kanemura with the lariat for the victor. Another brawl would take place after the match between the Apache Army and Riki Choshu's group. Kanemura would announce that if Riki Choshu were to beat him again in a singles match on January 5th that Kanemura would allow Riki Choshu to take over the Apache Army which would upset all the members of the group for Kanemura announcing that.

Kanemura would team up with fellow Apache Army teammate Takashi Sasaki to face Ryuji Ito and Shadow WX on January 2, 2005 at Korakuen Hall in a Barbwire Board Street Fight that would see each wrestler get cut up badly with Takashi Sasaki and Ryuji Ito both bleeding from their back as Ito would end up placing a barbwire board on top of Sasaki and then deliver the Dragon Splash on Sasaki to score the victory.

Kintaro Kanemura would finally get his shot at facing Riki Choshu in a singles match on January 5, 2005 at Korakuen Hall, Kanemura would make sure to jump Choshu early before the bell and begin delivering chairshots to Choshu's head. Kanemura would bring Choshu back in the ring, but would make the mistake of charging at Choshu who would deliver a stiff shot to Kanemura's head. Choshu would grab a chair and begin smashing it over Kanemura causing Kanemura to be busted open as Choshu would work on the cut. Kanemura's way out of the beating by Choshu would be to shove the referee at Choshu and deliver a dropkick to him. Kanemura would then begin taking apart the bottom rope and begin choking Choshu out with it. Kanemura would then deliver several more chairshots to Choshu and then deliver a Blast YAMA Senton Special to Choshu but would fail to even get a two count. Kanemura would attempt his own lariat to Choshu but right before he would make it Choshu, he would be the one knocked out with the lariat by Choshu. Choshu would beat Kanemura over the head with punches and then deliver another lariat to Kanemura for the pinfall victory. Because of the win, it would give Riki Choshu complete control of the Apache Army. Kanemura would agree to the stipulation and announce that Riki Choshu was now in control of the group causing Hido to go berserk and attack Kanemura. It would not be done as Kanemura and Hido would get in a shouting fight in the hallway at Korakuen Hall with Hido extremely upset over Choshu being in charge of the group when the Apache Army's whole meaning was to be against someone like Choshu. Hido would announce that he did not want to be apart of a group that had Choshu control of, and that he was starting his own Apache Army called the Real Apache Army with Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Takashi Sasaki, and GENTARO while Kanemura would still be in the original Apache Army with Choshu and be aligned with Choshu's wrestlers. Kanemura and Hido would vacate their WMG Tag Team Titles shortly afterwards.

Kanemura's first match against Hido since the split would be on January 23, 2005 at the Chiba Blue Field for the Kintaro Kanemura Festival with Kanemura teaming up with Tomohiro Ishii to take on Hido and The Winger in a Hardcore Street with Hido scoring the huge pinfall victory over his former friend Kanemura to score first blood for causing a split in the Apache Army.

Due to an already booked card before their differences occurred Kanemura would be force to team up with Hido, Takashi Sasaki and MIYAWAKI for a Big Japan show on January 28, 2005 at the Kawasaki City Gym in a Scaffold Spider net Barbwire Death Match against Ryuji Ito, Men's Teioh, Shadow WX, and Abdullah Kobayashi with the barbwire being placed over the ring. Kanemura would focus mostly on Men's Teioh outside the ring and brawl around ringside as Takashi Sasaki and Ryuji Ito would climb the scaffold and brawl with Takashi Sasaki tossing Ryuji Ito off the scaffold into the barbwire spider net. It would not be soon after that Hido and Takashi Sasaki would turn on Kanemura and leave him laying for easy prey for the Big Japan Army to finish him off. Ryuji Ito would get back on the scaffold and deliver a Dragon Splash on Kanemura off the scaffold to score the pinfall victory over him. Afterwards, Ryuji Ito would help Kanemura up and a alliance between Kanemura and Ryuji Ito would be formed.

Kanemura would team up with Riki Choshu for the first time on January 31, 2005 at the Nagoya City Gym # 3 to face his former friends Hido as well as Tetsuhiro Kuroda with Hido going after Kanemura right away to start the match. But with Choshu by Kanemura's side both Kuroda & Hido would have no shot and Kanemura would take advantage of it and finish off Hido with numerous chair shots knocking him and allowing Kanemura to get the pin for the victory.

Kanemura would team up with Riki Choshu and Tomohiro Ishii to face Masato Tanaka, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, and Tatsuhito Takaiwa in a Hardcore Match on February 11, 2005 at the Nagoya Aichi Prefectural Gym for HUSTLE-7. Kanemura and Tanaka would square off against each other at the beginning of the match with Kanemura delivering a hurricanrana to Tanaka. But it would be Choshu who would once again make things easy again for Kanemura and Ishii as Choshu would end up finishing off Kuroda with the lariat to score the pinfall victory.

Kanemura would team up with Ryuji Ito and Men's Teioh to face the team of Hido, Takashi Sasaki, and Jun Kasai in a Barbwire Fluorescent Light Tube Death Match on February 22, 2005 at Korakuen Hall where Hido would make sure to go right after Kanemura for a majority of the match. Kanemura would end up being knocked off a ladder and landing into the barbwire although it would be Ryuji Ito who would take the most punishment after several light tubes would smash right against his back although he would still manage to put away Takashi Sasaki after placing several light tube sticks across Sasaki's chest and then deliver the Dragon Splash for the victory.

Kanemura and Dick Togo would team up in the new Zero-One MAX promotion that was spawned after Zero-One had financially claimed bankruptcy. Kanemura and Togo would face off against Masato Tanaka & Super Crazy on February 27, 2005 at Ikebukuro Sunshine City Gym. The match would start right away with Kanemura and Crazy brawling around the arena. Masato Tanaka would intervene and hold on to Kanemura while Super Crazy climb a set of stairs to the balcony where he then delivered an Asai Moonsault from the balcony landing on Kanemura. Kanemura and Tanaka would both get busted open during the brawl around the building when Kanemura would set up a table and place Tanaka on it and dive off the stairs sending Tanaka through the table. When all four wrestlers would finally make it back in the ring, Kanemura would stack several chairs on top of one another. Super Crazy would attempt to put Dick Togo through the chairs with a powerbomb, but Masato Tanaka instead would use Togo's body to superplex Kanemura through the stack of chairs. Finally, the match would come down to the long time rivals of the last 10 years in a punching match blood running down both their faces when Tanaka would finally deliver the Roaring Elbow to pin Kanemura for the win.

Kintaro Kanemura would then team up with Ryuji Ito for another Kintaro Kanemura Festival on March 12, 2005 at the Chiba Blue Field facing off against Hido & Jun Kasai in a Bunkhouse Street Fight with Hido getting another shot at hurting Kanemura. As Kanemura was taking care of Jun Kasai, Hido would come up from behind and nail Kanemura in the back with his barbwire baseball bat as well as Ryuji Ito. Hido would lay down Kanemura on several fluorescent light tubes as Kasai would come off the top rope and splash on Kanemura breaking several of the fluorescent light tubes. Hido would try to nail Kanemura with a lariat, but Kanemura would catch Hido and roll him up for the victory. The Apache Army would not be done with Kanemura though as Hido and Kasai along with Takashi Sasaki, GENTARO, Shinjuku Shark would begin stomping away at Kanemura and then light a chair on fire. Just as they were about to powerbomb Kanemura into the fire, Mammoth Sasaki would rush to the ring and clear house of Hido's Apache Army. Mammoth had just aligned himself with Kanemura and his Apache Army.

Kanemura would go on to challenge for the brand new HUSTLE created title made out of giant golden bat being called the HHH which would stand for the Hustle Hardcore Hero Title Bat on March 18, 2005 at Sumo Hall for HUSTLE-8. Kanemura would take on 6 other men in Masato Tanaka, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Leonardo Spanky, Wataru Sakata, Flying Vampire # 16, Giant Silva, and Dan Bobish in a Hardcore Match. Kanemura would go up against Giant Silva which would not be a wise move due to Silva's height and power. Kanemura would try to even things up with Silva by bringing in a ladder and climbing it to be closer to Silva's height although all it would result in would be Dan Bobish pushing Kanemura off the ladder and sending him into the ropes with the rope getting caught between his legs. Kanemura would help everyone else involved eliminate Giant Silva after he was sent through a table and everyone would jump on him to make the cover and eliminate him. Kanemura would eventually end up going through a table himself after Tanaka would supplex Kanemura off a table into another table with Flying Vampire # 16 on it. Kanemura would eventually end up brawling with Wataru Sakata outside near the entrance way when Sakata would end up tying Kanemura to the chair. Kanemura would be stuck to the chair unable to the move screaming for help with Sakata would bringing out boiling hot sushi to Kanemura. Sakata would try shoving it down Kanemura's mouth but Kanemura would close his mouth each time causing it to land on his face. After the third time and the hot juices dripping on Kanemura's face it would be enough for Kanemura who would finally give up and be eliminated. Masato Tanaka would eventually win the match after last eliminating Flying Vampire # 16 to win the HHH Title Bat.

Due to the vacancy of the WMG Tag Team Titles after Kanemura and Hido had split, both wrestlers would have a shot at winning back the titles on April 16, 2005 at Korakuen Hall. Kanemura would choose Tomohiro Ishii as his partner, where as Hido would choose Tetsuhiro Kuroda as his partner. It would be Hido to score the upset pinfall over Tomohiro Ishii though, as Hido and Kuroda would end up walking away from the show the brand new WMG Tag Team Champions.

Kintaro Kanemura would team up with Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Mammoth Sasaki on April 17, 2005 at the Tokyo Differ Ariake for a benefit show for Sabu entitled "WE LOVE SABU". The show would go towards paying for Sabu's hospital bills with both Kanemura and Mr. Gannosuke who have heat with each other that caused the WMF group to split with the Apache Army to put their differences aside and help book the show. Kanemura's team would face off against the team of Masato Tanaka, Minoru Fujita, and Ikuto Hidaka in the main event. Kanemura would start off the match right away against Tanaka with Tanaka getting the early advantage with a running elbow at Kanemura. Both Kanemura and Tanaka would begin to brawl outside on the ramp where Tanaka would end up backflipping Kanemura onto the ramp. Kanemura's lack of success against his rival would continue in the match as Tanaka would eventually get the winning pinfall over Kanemura with the Bullet Elbow for the victory for his Zero-One MAX team to end the show. Afterwards, the entire roster of the show would come out a long with Sabu and have a beer bash in honor of Sabu as they would all do Sabu's trademark point to the sky to end the show.

Kanemura would again challenge for the Hustle Hardcore Hero Title Bat on May 10, 2005 at the Niigata City Gym in a Hardcore Battle Royal against champion Masato Tanaka, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Demon Spider, Monster C, and the Piranha Monster at HUSTLE-9. Although an alliance would form in the match with Kuroda despite their differences against the Demon Spider. Kanemura would once again fall to rival Masato Tanaka after Tanaka would deliver a Death Valley Driver off the top rope through two tables to eliminate Kanemura and eventually go on to win and defend his HHH Hardcore Bat.

Kanemura would then take on his long time friend Hido at the Riki Pro show on June 5, 2005 at Korakuen Hall in a Lumberjack Death Match. Both Kanemura and Hido would be quick to begin dueling chairs at one another with Hido winning and smashing a chair over Kanemura's head. Hido would have the early advantage in the match, but Kanemura would come back delivering a hurricanrana to his former friend. Hido would be the first one up after it though and as a result would manage to throw Kanemura outside the ring. Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO would take the opportunity to swing away before the other lumberjacks the likes of Tomohiro Ishii, Dick Togo, Yoshihito Sasaki and Ichiro Yaguchi would manage to stop them. Kanemura would be sent back in the ring and Hido would continue beating on Kanemura. Hido would grab the chair again and although Kanemura would attempt to fight back, Hido would smash the chair over Kanemura's head. Hido would then clothesline Kanemura causing both to flip over the top rope. Sasaki and GENTARO would go after Kanemura again but Togo, Yoshihito Sasaki, Ishii, and Yaguchi would try to calm things down but Dick Togo could not resist taking punches at Hido himself before both Kanemura and Hido would go back in the ring. Kanemura would attempt to deliver a powerbomb to Hido, but before managing to get him up at the exact same time Takashi Sasaki & GENTARO would hit flying dropkicks to Kanemura. The bloody Kanemura and Hido would again begin headbutting each other with Hido getting a cheap shot punch to the face knocking Kanemura down, but Kanemura would quickly get up and deliver a spin kick to Hido with both men falling to the ground. Hido would get up first and attempt to clothesline Kanemura, but Kanemura would manage to duck Hido and grab him by the back and deliver a German Supplex followed by a Roaring Elbow to Hido for again another two count. Kanemura would go for another senton, but this time Hido would make it to his feet and deliver a supplex off the turnbuckle on Kanemura. Kanemura would manage to kick out, and would also manage to move out of the way when Hido would attempt a moonsault. Kanemura would attempt an Asai Moonsault off the middle rope, but Hido would also manage to move out of the way and get up to deliver a lariat to Kanemura. Hido would fail to get the cover, and when attempting another lariat but Kanemura would again dodge it and this time deliver several rolling German Supplexes to Hido, followed by a Thunder Fire Powerbomb, and then the Blast YAMA Senton Special to Hido to score the victory over his former long time friend. Kanemura would pick up Hido and even before he could offer his hand out in friendship Hido would deliver a kick to the stomach with the Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Sasaki, and GENTARO rushing in the ring to stomp away at him with the rest of the lumberjacks having to make the save for Kanemura.

The Apache Army had just lost a member to the enemy and Kanemura was out to issue a challenge to Sasaki, Ito, Sekimoto, MIYAWAKI, and Katsumasa Inoue against Kanemura, Kuroda, Mammoth, Hi69, and Saburo Inematsu but once again Takashi Sasaki's group would come out on top after Sasaki would deliver a Right Trail to Inematsu for the victory.

Kanemura has one of the best sense of humors in the wrestling business, he is known as someone who can make you laugh hysterically, is willing to give his body for a good match, and has one of the biggest hearts. Since wrestling for just about every promotion since FMW closed, he is now known as the Boss of the Indies, and is given much respect by all his working piers. Despite the humor and heart Kanemura brings, he also demands to be heard, and once flicked a lit cigarette in TAKA Michinoku's face for not shutting up. Kanemura is one of the hardest workers in the business, and for every match he's in, he'll show the fans his humor, guts, and heart in every match he's in for his love of professional wrestling.

The Apache Army promotion would return to Korakuen Hall for the first time in over 6 months on April 14, 2006 as the Apache Army would continue its battle with New Japan's CTU, this time with the Apache Army having the home crowd cheering them on. Jushin Thunder Liger would make short work of Hido in their match, but afterwards a brawl would culminate with Kanemura and Kuroda issuing a challenge for a 6 man main event with Kanemura, Kuroda, and Hido taking on Jushin Thunder Liger, Jado, and Gedo in a Street Fight.

Kintaro Kanemura afterwards would regain his focus on the war that Takashi Sasaki was causing within the Apache Army as a singles match would be set between the two on June 4, 2006 at the Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring in a Lumberjack Death Match. Sasaki would end up scoring the upset victory after Hido would turn on Kanemura during the match and help Sasaki get the upper hand victory over the Apache leader. There was now a war within Apache along with having feuds with New Japan and Big Japan.

Kanemura would then head to the Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring on June 16, 2006 for NOSAWA's promoted show that would sell out the building. Kanemura would face in what might be his last ever match in Japan in Sabu. It would be the first time the two would be going up against each other since November 20, 1998 at the Yokohama Bunka Gym. The match would have the same result though as Kanemura would begin bleeding easily from the day before, and after several dives assisted by chairs, Sabu would put away Kanemura with an Atomic Arabian Facebuster for the win.

Kanemura would team up with Masato Tanaka and Tomoaki Honma at the Saitama Super Arena for the June 17, 2006 HUSTLE-Aid show to take on Buh Buh Ray, D-Von, and Spike Dudley. Kanemura and Tanaka would do the TNR Dance while Honma would be doing push ups as their introductions. Buh Buh and Kanemura would go at it weapons would be brought into the match very quickly. Kanemura's forehead would be shredded by the cheese grader causing Kanemura to bleed all over. D-Von would come again and deliver a clothesline to the bloody Kanemura. Kanemura would end up making the tag to Tanaka, and Buh Buh Ray would end up coming back in, but Tanaka would bring his weapon and smash it over Buh Buh's head. Honma would be tagged in and deliver a supplex to Buh Buh Ray, but D-Von would make his way back in the ring, and Honma would end up getting nailed with the 3D and covered by D-Von for a victory for Team 3D.

Kintaro Kanemura, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Jun Kasai, and GENTARO representing the Apache Army would team up to take on Takashi Sasaki, Hido, Hi69, and mystery partner TAKA Michinoku who would be revealed as the mastermind behind Sasaki's new group on June 25, 2006 at the Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring with the Apache Army getting the victory after Kanemura would pin Hi69 with the Human Torch for the win.

Kanemura would face off against Toshiaki Kawada for only the second time in his career on on July 11, 2006 at Korakuen Hall for HUSTLE House-17. Kanemura would team with TAJIRI faced off against Toshiaki Kawada and Monster C in Kanemura's first main event of a HUSTLE show. Kanemura mostly went up against Monster C including putting him through a table, where as TAJIRI went up against Kawada most of the time. Both TAJIRI and Kawada exchanged their hard kicks, with Kawada coming up on top after pinning TAJIRI with a hard kick for the pin.

Genichiro Tenryu would promote his last WAR show on July 27, 2006 at Korakuen Hall. Kanemura and GENTARO would team up to face off against Jado and Gedo in a Apache vs. CTU match. Jado and GENTARO would start the match off with GENTARO taking the match to the outside after hitting an Asai Moonsault on Jado. Jado would bring the match back inside the ring and deliver a German Supplex on GENTARO before following up by placing him in the Crossface of JADO. Kanemura would make the save and would eventually go at it with Gedo as Gedo would deliver a hurricanrana to Kanemura. Kanemura would eventually get rid of Gedo out of the ring, and begin setting up several chairs in the ring. It would eventually turn out to be a mistake as Kanemura would get thrown off the top rope into the chairs by Jado. Jado and Gedo would then setup GENTARO for the old Fuyuki Super Powerbomb spot with Jado delivering the powerbomb off the top rope on GENTARO. Jado would then place Kanemura in the Crossface of JADO as Gedo would deliver the Superfly Frog Splash on GENTARO and score the pinfall victory.

Kintaro Kanemura and Tetsuhiro Kuroda would team up on July 30, 2006 at Korakuen Hall for a CTU promoted show against Jado and Gedo. The Apache Army would continue their slump as Gedo would score the Gedo Clutch on Kuroda for the pinfall with another CTU win over Kanemura and an Apache partner.

Kintaro Kanemura would team with TAJIRI for the second straight HUSTLE-House show at Korakuen Hall on August 8, 2006 to face the team of Sodom also known as Mark Jindrak and Commander An Jo (Yoji Anjo) in the main event. Sodom ended up pinning Kanemura with the Mad Dog at 11 minutes, 45 seconds but after the match a big brawl between the HUSTLE Army and the Takada Monster Army took place with Yinling, Naoya Ogawa, and Razor Ramon HG running helping out Kanemura and TAJIRI. The show would end will five of them doing the HUSTLE dance. Kanemura and TAJIRI would team up the next day on August 9, 2006 along with Shinjiro Otani to face Toshiaki Kawada, Giant Vabo (Hiroshi Nagao) and Sodom with Otani hitting a missle kick on Vabo for the win.

Kanemura would team up with Tetsuhiro Kuroda and former All Japan Triple Crown Champion Satoshi Kojima to take on Takashi Sasaki, New Japan's Togi Makabe, and Shiro Koshinaka with TAKA Michinoku as their manager Mr. T who is built up as the man that originated the plan to destroy the Apache Army in a Street Fight Barbed wire Board Death Match on August 28, 2006 at Korakuen Hall. It was the first time in his 15 year career that Kojima would be wrestling in a match with barbed wire involved. Kojima who stated he was nervous going into the match would be the one targeted by Koshinaka and Makabe right away due to being a "death match virgin". Makabe put Kojima through the barbed wire board right away and then followed up by Koshinaka and Makabe delivering a double brainbuster to Kojima causing him to be cut open and start bleeding right away. S. Everyone but Koshinaka who refused to be put through any barbed wire before the match ended up going through the sharp wire before Kanemura would eventually hit a Super Thunder Fire Powerbomb off the top rope on Sasaki through a barbed wired board for the pinfall victory with Go Ito running in the ring to make the count in an excellent match and most likely the best match in the Apache Army promotion for 2006.

Kanemura would then participate in the 20th HUSTLE House show at Korakuen Hall on September 7, 2006. Although Kanemura would have Naoya Ogawa and Shinjiro Otani as his partners, the competition of former All Japan Triple Crown Champions Toshiaki Kawada and Genichiro Tenryu as well as Commander An Joe would turn out to be too much for Kanemura. Kanemura would take several of Tenryu's hard chops to the chest, followed by the enziguri kick to the head by Kawada before Tenryu would finish off Kanemura with the Bond of Monster.

Kanemura would then resurrect the WEW World Title for the first time in three years to make his match against New Japan's Togi Makabe a title match on September 24, 2006 at Korakuen Hall. Their match would be a Barricade Chain Death Match with Makabe taking full advantage of the stipulation by choking out Kanemura with the chain. Both men bled during the match, but Kanemura's cut was a gusher with blood pouring down his face most of the match. Makabe ended up finishing off Kanemura with three straight lariats to get the victory to win the WEW World Title for New Japan.

Kanemura would gain a small bit of revenge on Togi Makabe on October 21, 2006 at the Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring by teaming up with fellow Apache Army member Mammoth Sasaki to defeat the team of the WEW World Champion Togi Makabe and Daisuke Sekimoto when Kanemura pinned Sekimoto with the Blast YAMA Senton Special . Makabe afterwards announced what most already knew would happen when he revealed that his partner alongside himself and Shiro Koshinaka would be friend Hiroyoshi Tenzan against Kintaro Kanemura, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, and Mammoth Sasaki in a battle of FMW vs. New Japan for November 2nd at Korakuen Hall.

Kanemura would team up with Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Mammoth Sasaki to take on the New Japan team of Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Togi Makabe, and Shiro Koshinaka on November 2, 2006 at Korakuen Hall. Tenzan would go right after Kanemura as the match with all six wrestlers brawling over the building. Tenzan and Kanemura brawl around ringside before Kanemura would get a chance to go at it with Makabe. Things seem to be going the Apache Army way with Mammoth delivering a Mammoth Home Run to Tenzan but Makabe would help save his GHB partner by delivering a lariat to Mammoth. Makabe putting a chain around his arm and delivering a lariat to Mammoth with the chain knocking Mammoth out and allowing Makabe to score the pinfall. Tenzan would deliver the Anaconda Vice on Kanemura preventing him from making the save for Mammoth while Koshinaka held on to Kuroda's leg preventing him from making the save as well as the GBH would come away with the victory. Tenzan would get on the mic and begin taunting the Apache Army crowd calling the Apache Army wrestlers weak and how he has tarnished himself working in a Apache Army ring in front of such filthy fans.

Kintaro Kanemura challenged for the WEW World Title by facing Togi Makabe at New Japan's LOCK UP show on November 18, 2006 at the Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring. Kanemura would be triple teamed early in the as Makabe ended up having help from Tomohiro Ishii and Toru Yano who interfered for Makabe and cut Kanemura up badly. Kanemura would fight back, but he odds were too much as Makabe would end up putting Kanemura away a knee drop. Makabe would insult the Apache Army fans after the match but Tetsuhiro Kuroda hitting the ring to make the save for Kanemura in a missed opportunity at bringing home the WEW World Title.

Kanemura would then face off against friend Tetsuhiro Kuroda on December 16, 2006 at the Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring with Kuroda getting the win with a Dragon Supplex for the right to face off against Makabe for the next chance to win the WEW World Title.

Togi Makabe would issue a challenge to Mammoth Sasaki to show up at New Japan's January 27, 2007 Korakuen Hall show with Mammoth accepting but he would bring Kanemura along side with him. Kanemura and Mammoth would interfere in a match pitting Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Togi Makabe against Masahiro Chono and Giant Bernard with Kanemura and Mammoth attacking Makabe during the match with Kanemura using scissors to cut open Makabe badly. It would allow Chono an easy chance to put away the bloody Makabe as Kanemura had left his mark on the WEW World Champion Makabe.

Kintaro Kanemura would team up with Satoshi Kojima and Daisuke Sekimoto for a big Apache Army show on January 31, 2007 at the Nagoya Rainbow Hall Sub Arena against Toshiaki Kawada, Mammoth Sasaki, and Yoshihito Sasaki with Kawada nailing a low kick on Sekimoto for the pinfall in the disappointing attendance wise show.

Kintaro Kanemura and Tetsuhiro Kuroda would team up to take on the team of Togi Makabe and Takashi Sasaki in a Barbed wire Spider Net Captain Falls Death Match with Kanemura and Makabe being the captains for their team on February 2, 2007 at Korakuen Hall. Kanemura would take many blows during the match including being powerbombed onto a barbed wire board, as well as dropped on the barbed wire from his stomach, and his forehead sliced open from the barbed wire but Kanemura would end up making a come back on the bloody as well Makabe and scoring the pinfall by delivering a Death Valley Bomb on the spider net barbed wire on Makabe for the pinfall victory for the Apache Army win.

Kanemura and Kuroda would not fair the same success just two days later for New Japan's LOCK UP Korakuen Hall show on February 4, 2007 as Yano would score the pinfall on Kuroda. Makabe would end up retaining the WEW World Title against Mammoth Sasaki in the main event with Makabe mocking the Apache Army afterwards causing Kanemura to hit the ring and attack Makabe. Kanemura would grab the mic and state that he will kill Makabe if given another chance at him.

Kanemura would then team up with Daisuke Sekimoto to take on Mammoth Sasaki and Tetsuhiro Kuroda on April 29, 2007 at the Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring that would end up being a thirty minute time limit. A rematch would be then made, with the wrestler getting the pinfall getting the next shot at Makabe's WEW World Title. The rematch would take place on May 26, 2007 at the Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring with Kanemura and Sekimoto once again going to a thirty minute time limit draw with Mammoth and Kuroda.

Another match would be set for June 10, 2007 at the Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring, this time Kanemura would team up with Kuroda to face Mammoth and Sekimoto under Hardcore Rules, and this time Kanemura would get the pinfall victory over Mammoth with a lariat to earn himself another shot at bringing back the WEW World Title to the Apache Army.

Kintaro Kanemura would get one final shot at the WEW World Title on June 24, 2007 at Korakuen Hall challenging Togi Makabe for the title. The match would start with Makabe busting Kanemura open early. Kanemura would begin to bleed everywhere and Makabe worked on the cut by delivering multiple headbutts. Kanemura would fight back, cutting open Makabe himself. A bloody Makabe would then bring his signature chain into the match and begin to choke out Kanemura with it. Makabe would try everything that had put away Kanemura and the rest of the Apache Army wrestlers before, but this time Kanemura would manage to kick out of everything thrown at him. Makabe would deliver the King Kong Knee Drop and the lariat with a chain wrapped around his arm. Kanemura would manage to kick out to escape and kick out. Kanemura would gain control of the match after kicking Makabe low and eventually deliver a death valley driver to Makabe that Makabe would barely kick out of. Kanemura would then bring chairs into the ring and deliver another death valley driver with Makabe's head landing straight on the chairs to give Kanemura the pinfall victory for Kanemura to become the WEW World Champion for the fourth time. A very upset Makabe would not take the loss graciously and would begin to attack Kanemura after the match until Mammoth Sasaki would run in for the save. Kanemura and Mammoth Sasaki would embrace after the match and Kanemura would announce that Mammoth Sasaki would get the next shot at the WEW World Title. Kanemura had finally gained revenge on Togi Makabe once and for all.

The Apache Army promotion would return to Korakuen Hall on July 20, 2007 as Kanemura would team up with Masato Tanaka to take on the team of Mammoth Sasaki and Kohei Sato with both Sato and Mammoth delivering hard hits to Kanemura with Sato delivering a German Supplex, Mammoth hitting a lariat, followed by Mammoth nailing the 29 Years old on Kanemura for the win.

Kanemura would never get a chance to defend the WEW Title against Mammoth as he would have to defend the title against GBH's Toru Yano at LOCK UP's July 29, 2007 Korakuen Hall show with Yano delivering the Oni Koroshi for the win to bring back the WEW World Title to the GBH group after just being with the Apache Army for a month.

A knee injury would sideline Kanemura in August causing him to miss Apache Army, HUSTLE, and Big Japan shows in the mean time. Kanemura would return to Korakuen Hall on September 23, 2007 as he would defend the Apex of Triangle title with Masao Orihara and Dick Togo that was won back in 2002 against Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Daisuke Sekimoto, and Hi69 with Togo hitting the Diving Senton to score the pinfall on Hi69 to defend the titles. Mammoth Sasaki would end up bringing back the WEW World Title to the Apache Army later in the show as he would defeat Toru Yano for the title.

A serious injury to Apache Army wrestler Hi69 would take place that result in the Apache Army promotion holding a Hi69 AID show on November 12, 2007 at the Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring with Kintaro Kanemura teaming up with Kohei Sato and TAKA Michinoku to face Masato Tanaka, Mammoth Sasaki, and Daisuke Sekimoto with Tanaka nailing Kanemura with the Sliding D for the win.

Kanemura would team up with Tetsuhiro Kuroda and GENTARO to face off against the team of Riki Choshu, Shiro Koshinaka, and Super Strong Machine in a Apache vs. Legend match as Kanemura would get another chance at Riki Choshu after their several year feud on November 24, 2007 at LOCK UP's Korakuen Hall show, but once again Choshu would wind up on top after hitting GENTARO with a lariat for the win for the Legend team.

Kanemura would return to Korakuen Hall on December 30, 2007 teaming up with Kengo Mashimo to take on Tetsuhiro Kuroda and KAZMA with Kanemura getting a facekick on KAZMA to score the victory. Although Kanemura would end up getting the victory with a kick, another type of kick would end up doing much more damage to Kanemura the very next day.

Kintaro Kanemura and Tetsuhiro Kuroda who had began wrestling under mask for the HUSTLE promotion as Kintaman and Kurodaman would face off against the former Aja Kong known as Erica and Ryouji Sai on December 31, 2007 at the Saitama Super Arena for the HUSTLE Festival show in a Dynamite Hardcore Hustle Weapons Match with Erica getting the pinfall over Kintaman. Mirko Cro Crop would then march to the ring after the match, enter the ring and deliver a severe unprotected kick to the back of the head of Kanemura, the kick would be so hard that the back of his skull would be broken. Kanemura would travel to Korakuen Hall for a Pro Wrestling Summit show later in the same day to participate. But Kanemura would be found backstage with his eyes still open while snoring. The serious injury would cause Kanemura not to be allowed to wrestle on the show as Kanemura would pick Kuroda to replace him. Kanemura would be taken to the hospital afterwards, but he would not stay there for long.

Kanemura would insist that he was capable of wrestling for Big Japan's January 2, 2008 Korakuen Hall but the Big Japan office would refuse to allow him due to the injury.

Kanemura would be able to convince the bookers for the Team Vader show that he was booked for as he would make his return to the ring on January 5, 2008 at the Tokyo Differ Ariake wearing a head bandage during his match with Mammoth Sasaki against Arashi and Yutaka Yoshie for a Team Vader show, the injury would come into play during the match although the wrestlers would obviously take care of Kanemura during the match, not doing much with him, with Arashi getting the pinfall on Kanemura who was still obviously showing signs of injury. Kanemura would be holding his head the match, but seemed to be fine shortly afterwards.

Kanemura would then team up with Takashi Sasaki who had returned on the side of the Apache Army, Shadow WX, and Masao Orihara against Togi Makabe, Tomohiro Ishii, and the newest members of the GBH Jado and Gedo for LOCK UP's January 13, 2008 Korakuen Hall show inside a Steel Cage for a Death Match. Takashi Sasaki would be busted open early into the match with Gedo biting at his forehead to draw blood nearly right away but Sasaki would do his best to assist his team by bringing a table into the steel cage and set Tomohiro Ishii on the table and hold it while Kintaro Kanemura would come splashing off the top turnbuckle through the table. Togi Makabe would begin the comeback for his team as he would take a piece of the broken off table and smash it over his former partner Takashi Sasaki's head and Tomohiro Ishii would soon follow with delivering a Brainbuster off the top turnbuckle onto Kanemura's injured skull for the pinfall victory for the New Japan team.

Kintaro Kanemura's life would then be forever changed on January 20, 2008 as he would arrive to the Chiba Blue Field for a Big Japan show drunk on sake. Backstage Kanemura would go up to a young woman who worked for Big Japan sending out newsletter e-mails to the Big Japan fans. Kanemura in front of other wrestlers backstage would grab a hold of her and begin rubbing her vagina through her pants while talking dirty to her in her ear with the Big Japan wrestlers watching and not doing anything that they were seeing. Kanemura would finally let go of her and would go to wrestle on the show Kanemura would team up with young Apache Army wrestler Yusaku Obata as they would defeat the team of GENTARO and Toshihiro Sueyoshi with Kanemura getting the pinfall over Sueyoshi with the Death Valley Bomb. Kanemura's actions earlier would not go unpunished though. The woman would go up to Big Japan booker Tosaka and complain about what Kanemura had done to her. Tosaka would initially blow her off, but she would threaten to go public if something was not done immediately for Kanemura's actions. Tosaka would tell her that it would not be good for anyone if she was to go public.

Kanemura would continue to work as he would team up with Tetsuhiro Kuroda and GENTARO against Jaki Numazawa, Bear Fukuda, and Motosugu Shimizu on February 9, 2008 at Big Japan's Korakuen Hall show with GENTARO getting the win with a Diving Elbow Drop on Shimizu. It would turn out to be Kanemura's last match for Big Japan as the woman's threats of going public were about to take place.

An e-mail would be sent out on February 18, 2008 to all the Big Japan fans that are newsletter receivers stating Kanemura what had done to the woman back on January 20th. Once Tosaka would hear about the woman going public, he would bad mouth the woman for going public to the Big Japan fans and defend Kanemura for his actions. That would cause the Big Japan fans to become irate with Tosaka as Tosaka would quickly have to backtrack and Tosaka would apologize for taking Kanemura's side and would then suspend Kanemura on February 19th from Big Japan for his actions.

With the incident going public and mainstream news stations picking up the story the Apache Army promotion would announce that they also would be suspending their leader indefinitely with him being taken off their upcoming February 22, 2008 show.

Kintaro Kanemura would hold a press conference on February 20, 2008 along side with Tetsuhiro Kuroda by his side apologizing for the entire incident. Kanemura would state the following: "I'm sorry for having caused such a disturbance. I apologize for having started by my acts the problem to Big Japan, all Apache members, and you the fans of the professional wrestling community. Number one, I wish above all to apologize from the bottom of my heart to the woman who was damaged by the act. I'm sorry. I want to extensively accept responsibility and to apologize from the bottom of my heart. I will exercise self-control in active participation of professional wrestling until this problem solves itself. All my matches in all organizations are cancelled. Although there is no telling whether I can meet my victim in the future, I want to apologize, no matter what form it may be. Even if it becomes that there is a formal criminal accusation, I will accept it obediently." Tetsuhiro Kuroda would also apologize for the incident during the press conference.

The Apache Army would hold their February 22, 2008 Shin-Kiba 1st Ring show with Tetsuhiro Kuroda, Takashi Sasaki and Mammoth Sasaki talking to the audience afterwards apologizing for what Kanemura had done. They would announce that the Apache Army promotion would be shutting down as Kanemura was one of the main backers financially of the promotion.

Kanemura would end up settling out of court on March 2, 2008 to avoid going to trial for his actions of sexual harassment. The settlement eventually led to Kanemura getting a chance to talk to the woman on March 11, 2008 and a reconciliation.

All promotions would cancel bookings with Kanemura as no promotion wanted the negative feedback of having Kanemura on their shows until Masao Orihara would take the risk.

Masao Orihara who had a friendship with Kanemura dating back from 1998 when he was a member of Team No Respect while in FMW with Kanemura and runs his own small promotion Mobius would schedule a press conference on March 25, 2008 and announce that he was willing to take the risk with Kanemura and have him working his show coming up on March 27, 2008.

Kintaro Kanemura would return to the ring for the first time since his sexual harrassment scandal had been reported on March 27, 2008 at the Tokyo Shinjuku FACE as he would team up with Masao Orihara, and Docromanz # 1 who would be subbing for Dick Togo to defend Apex of Triangle Titles against Tomohiro Ishii, Mr. Cacao, and Shiori Asahi with Orihara pinning Asahi to retain the titles. After the match, Docromanz # 2 would enter the ring and along with Docromanz # 1 they would attack both Kanemura & Orihara. Docromanz # 2 was originally scheduled for the match, but would be bumped off the card in place of Kanemura two days before the show.

Kanemura would then enter the Samurai TV studios on May 2, 2008 while Atsushi Onita was giving an interview. Kanemura would start screaming at Onita after Onita hade made negative comments towards Kanemura and the problems he has been going through the last couple of months. Kanemura told Onita that he had no room to talk as Onita has his own demons and challenged Onita to a match. Onita would accept the match and request a tag match with Kanemura as he would want Riki Choshu to be his partner and Kanemura could have any partner he wanted. Kanemura would choose the friend that stood by him the most during the whole incident in Masao Orihara. Choshu would not end up being Onita's partner for the match though.

Kanemura and Masao Orihara would team up on May 18, 2008 for LOCK UP at the Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring for Kanemura's first return to a promotion that had previously canceled his bookings due to the sexual harrassment incident. Kanemura and Orihara would face off against Kanemura's long time rival Atsushi Onita and Shiro Koshinaka with Kanemura and Onita brawling around the arena before Onita would get DQ'd for spitting green mist in Kanemura's face. A rematch would be set for the next LOCK UP show with Onita this time finally getting to team with Choshu against Kanemura.

It would be announced that the Apache Army promotion would be returning on June 13, 2008 under different management with Kanemura having nothing to do with the promotion anymore. Kanemura would announce the starting of his own promotion called XWF and their first show would be on August 6, 2008 at Korakuen Hall. Apache Army wrestlers Yusaku Obata and Shinjuku Shark would leave the Apache Army out of loyalty to Kanemura and join his XWF promotion.

Kanemura would then team up with friends Tetsuhiro Kuroda and Masao Orihara on July 12, 2008 at the Tokyo Shinjuku FACE to take on Riki Choshu, Atsushi Onita, and Shiro Koshinaka with Kanemura and Onita once again brawling like their FMW days around the arena. Onita would try to spit the green mist into Kanemura's face, but this time it would end up in his partner Koshinaka's face after Kanemura would get out of the way and Kanemura would quickly roll up the green face Koshinaka for the win.

Kanemura's new promotion XWF would hold its first show on August 6, 2008 at Korakuen Hall with Kanemura teaming up with Masato Tanaka and Tetsuhiro Kuroda to face Raven, former FMW wrestler Super Leather, and Tracey Smothers in the main event. Kanemura would grab tons of chairs from the ringside area and throw them in the ring causing the ring to be covered with chairs before pinning Smothers for the win. The show would be a financial failure with the low attendance and the money spent flying all the foreigners for the show. The next XWF show would be announced for October 7, 2008 at Korakuen Hall but that show would end up being canceled.

Although he would not be booked nearly as much after losing his Apache Army and Big Japan bookings, Kanemura would be booked occasionally for Zero-One MAX due to his friendship with Masato Tanaka and Atsushi Onita promoted shows. Due to Kanemura no longer being with the Apache Army, it would allow Mr. Gannosuke for the first time in years to be booked more occasionally after the end of his friendship with Kanemura back in 2004 with Gannosuke being booked in the Apache Army, Zero-One MAX, and DDT. It would then be announced that Mr. Gannosuke's upcoming retirement show on promoted by Gannosuke himself on December 27, 2008 at Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring would have Kanemura booked for the match which would be the first time Gannosuke and Kanemura would be in the ring together for the first time since 2004.

Kanemura would return to the LOCK UP promotion on November 3, 2008 at Korakuen Hall teaming up with Toshiaki Kawada for the first time in his career as he would face Riki Choshu and Shiro Koshinaka. Kanemura would get busted open early but still manage to work well with Kawada as a team until Kawada would hold Choshu with Kanemura charging at him and Choshu moving out of the way causing Kanemura to strike Kawada in the face. Kawada would get very angry at Kanemura and begin striking Kanemura as a result. Kanemura would fight back with a hit to Kawada to the face in retaliation but Kawada's strikes would be too much for Kanemura to handle and Kawada would finish it up with a kick to Kanemura's head to knock him out. Kawada would leave the ring and Choshu would take advantage by hitting Kanemura with a Lariat to setup Koshinaka getting his revenge on Kanemura with a Diving Body Attack pinfall over Kanemura.

Kanemura would return to Masao Orihara's Mobius promotion to team with Orihara and Dick Togo to defend the Apex of the Triangle Team Titles on December 26, 2008 at the Tokyo Shinjuku FACE against NOSAWA Rongai, MAZADA, and TAKEMURA with NOSAWA pinning Orihara to win the titles and end the six year reign that Orihara, Kanemura, and Dick Togo had after originally the titles at the WEW September 14, 2002 Differ Ariake show.

Kintaro Kanemura would then team up with Masato Tanaka and Tetsuhiro Kuroda against Mr. Gannosuke, Jinsei Shinzaki, and Mammoth Sasaki on December 27, 2008 at the Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring for Mr. Gannosuke Produced Retirement show. It would be the first time that Kanemura would be facing against his former FMW Brass Knuckles Tag Team Title partner since their August 25, 2003 match. Kanemura would wear the Team No Respect logo that was designed in 2000 to counter Mr. Gannosuke wearing the original Team No Respect logo shirt. The match would start right away like so many FMW Street Fights from years before with all 6 men brawling all over the building into the stands and around ringside. Kanemura and Shinzaki would square off against each other originally but would end up in the ring as Gannosuke and Shinzaki would deliver duel Praying Powerbombs with Gannosuke landing one on Tanaka, and Shinzaki hitting Kanemura with his. Kuroda would get free from Mammoth and deliver a lariat to Gannosuke and allow Kanemura the chance to toss Tanaka a piece of a table with Tanaka smashing it over Gannosuke's head. Kanemura would then take over the offense on Gannosuke. Kanemura would deliver a Blast YAMA Senton Special on Gannosuke, but would fail to get the pinfall victory. Gannosuke would eventually turn it around and fight back and land a Falcon Arrow on Kanemura for two. Gannosuke to the loud ovation from the crowd would then deliver the Fire Thunder to Kanemura, and then place him in the Nirvana Strangle for the last time in his career with Tanaka managing to break up the hold. Gannosuke and Kanemura would go at it against each other one last time, man on man with Kanemura going for the clothesline and Gannosuke catching him and putting him in the Gannosuke Clutch with Kanemura kicking out at two. Gannosuke would then finally finish his former friend off with the Fire Thunder once again as Mr. Gannosuke would get the pinfall victory on Kintaro Kanemura in Gannosuke's last ever match. After the match, Gannosuke would shake the hands of his partners of Shinzaki and Mammoth, followed by shaking Tanaka and Kuroda's hands. Gannosuke would then go up to Kintaro Kanemura and shake his hand out of respect, the two would then talk and then to a loud ovation Mr. Gannosuke and Kintaro Kanemura would embrace by hugging in the ring with both Kanemura and Gannosuke becoming teary eyed. All six wrestlers from the match would then raise one another's hands as Come out and Play would begin to play and Mr. Gannosuke and Kintaro Kanemura would begin doing the TNR Dance like old times, but with this time, for the first time ever, long time TNR foe Jinsei Shinzaki would join them in the dance as well along with Tanaka, Kuroda, and Mammoth one last time together as finally the Gannosuke and Kanemura feud had come to an end. Backstage an FMW reunion would take place with Kanemura, Gannosuke, Hayabusa, Kuroda, Mammoth, Tanaka, Ricky Fuji, Koji Nakagawa, Gosaku, and Flying Kid Ichihara all taking pictures with one another while chatting and laughing like the good old times.

Kanemura would get another shot at the WEW World Title on January 10, 2009 at the Tokyo Shinjuku FACE for the LOCK UP promotion against Tomohiro Ishii who had defeated Mammoth Sasaki for the title back in July. Kanemura would once again bloodied up during the match and would give it his all during the match, but would not be able to take the WEW World Title away from the GBH once again as Ishii would end up finishing off Kanemura with a lariat with no sign of the WEW World Title being defended again anytime soon.

Although Kanemura's actions on January 20, 2008 will always stay with him and has reduced his bookings greatly over the last year including being force to leave his own promotion the Apache Army and lose his Big Japan bookings, he still looks to continue his future in pro wrestling as he is booked for the MAKEHEN show on March 27, 2009 as well as the debut of the Mexican Wrestling Federation on April 5, 2009 against Kikutaro, then will revive his XWF promotion for the first time on May 10, 2009 in a much smaller Mie Jinken Center building which is in Kanemura's home town as he will team up with Masao Orihara and Kohei Sato against Masato Tanaka, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, and a Mystery Partner. Kanemura has also been announced for a May 29, 2009 debut of the new Shin-W*ING promotion at the Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring as he will team up with Mr. Pogo against Atsushi Onita and Masato Tanaka in the main event.
