**The report is in spanish and very long, so this is the relevant stuff**

During the press conference with NJPW and CMLL, it was announced that NJPW Young Lions Yohei Komatsu and Sho Tanaka will be leaving for the foreign excursion on January 31st. They will have their excursion in CMLL under the names of Fujin and Raijin respectively. It's not confirmed if they whole excursion will take place in CMLL, but as with previous wrestlers like Kamaitachi, they may end up staying the whole time.

Also annouced during the press conference was CMLL and NJPW's joint event series FantasticaMania. First event is scheduled for January 17 in the city of Kochi. Among the Mexican talent going to Japan are Atlantis, Ultimo Guerrero, NWA World Historic Welterweight Champion Volador Jr, Stuka Jr, Barbaro Cavernario, 2014 Rookie of the Year Dragon Lee, Fuego, Virus, Mephisto, and more.

Well... I guess this shows they're not so happy with ROH for the lack of use of Watanabe. I'd have hoped ROH would at least get one of the two. Then again, I can't blame New Japan for this at all.

I think size-wise, NJPW would rather send the Jrs to CMLL and heavyweights to ROH.

this made me think, does Hall, White, Finlay, etc get to excursion or are they already considered to have that experience?

I figure they'll need to go on excursion, too.

The Observer says they'll be based in Mexico, but will also work for ROH as well starting later in the year.
