Burning (バーニング Bāningu) is a professional wrestling stable originally formed in All Japan Pro Wrestling in August 1998 by Jun Akiyama, Kenta Kobashi, Kentaro Shiga and Yoshinobu Kanemaru. Akiyama and Kobashi dominated All Japan's tag team ranks for the next two years, winning the AJPW Unified World Tag Team Championship twice and the World's Strongest Tag Determination League also twice. In July 2000, Burning took part in a mass exodus led by Mitsuharu Misawa and left All Japan to join the newly founded Pro Wrestling Noah promotion, where it was rebuilt with Akiyama leaving the alliance and Kobashi taking several rookies under his wing. As representatives of Burning, Kobashi held the GHC Heavyweight Championship for two years and he and Tamon Honda won the GHC Tag Team Championship on two occasions, while the stable also launched the careers of Kenta and Go Shiozaki, both of whom eventually climbed to the top of the promotion. Eventually Kobashi's battle with kidney cancer and other various injuries led to the quiet dissolution of the stable. Burning was reformed back in All Japan in January 2013, when original members Jun Akiyama and Yoshinobu Kanemaru and second incarnation member Go Shiozaki along with Atsushi Aoki and Kotaro Suzuki quit Pro Wrestling Noah and joined All Japan as a unit. The stable quickly began dominating the promotion, winning three titles and two tournaments within three months of its reformation. Despite the success, Aoki, Shiozaki and Suzuki all quit Burning before the end of 2013 to form their own new group.

History

First incarnation (1998–2000)

In August 1998 in the All Japan Pro Wrestling promotion, AJPW Triple Crown Heavyweight Champion Kenta Kobashi's partnership with Johnny Ace came to an end and he formed a new partnership with Jun Akiyama, which was subsequently named "Burning".[5][9] The duo was later also joined by Kentaro Shiga and Yoshinobu Kanemaru, turning Burning from a tag team into a stable.[5][10] Together, Kobashi and Akiyama went on to become two-time AJPW Unified World Tag Team Champions, while also winning back-to-back World's Strongest Tag Determination Leagues in 1998 and 1999.[11][12][13] Through his affiliation with Kobashi and Akiyama, Kanemaru earned the reputation of being one of Japan's top younger wrestlers, winning Tokyo Sports's 1998 Rookie of the Year award, even though he had already debuted two years earlier.[5][14] Burning remained together until July 2000, when Kobashi, Akiyama, Kanemaru and Shiga, along with several other wrestlers, all followed Mitsuharu Misawa out of All Japan, joining his new Pro Wrestling Noah promotion.[10][15]

Second incarnation (2000–2012)

Kenta Kobashi, leader of the first two incarnations of Burning.

Following the jump to Noah, the original Burning split up and instead Kobashi took rookie wrestlers Kenta and Takeshi Rikio under his wing, while also forming new partnerships with veterans Tamon Honda and Tsuyoshi Kikuchi, forming the second incarnation of Burning.[5] However, this version of Burning got off to a slow start, when Kobashi was forced to undergo surgeries on both his elbow and knees in early 2001.[16] He eventually returned to the ring in February 2002, but during his return match tore his anterior cruciate ligament, which sidelined him for further five months.[16] With his injuries behind for now, Kobashi led Burning to a storyline rivalry with former partner Jun Akiyama's new stable, Sternness.[17] During 2002, Kentaro Shiga left Sternness to return to Burning and,[18] on October 14, teamed with Kobashi and Kenta to win the One Day 6 Man Tag Tournament, defeating the Sternness trio of Jun Akiyama, Akitoshi Saito and Makoto Hashi in the finals.[19] In March 2003, Kobashi won the GHC Heavyweight Championship, which he held for two full years, before losing it to Takeshi Rikio, who had now left Burning.[20][21][22] In July 2004, Kobashi's newest trainee, Go Shiozaki, made his professional wrestling debut as a member of Burning, quickly establishing himself as a top heavyweight prospect.[23][24] Meanwhile, Kobashi's number one protégé and Burning stablemate, Kenta, rose to the top of Noah's junior heavyweight division, winning the GHC Junior Heavyweight Championship in July 2005.[25] Kobashi, teaming with another Burning stablemate Tamon Honda, also went on to become a two-time GHC Tag Team Champion,[26][27] before being sidelined in June 2006 after being diagnosed with kidney cancer.[28][29] Though Kobashi returned to in-ring action in December 2007, Burning had effectively been dissolved during the past year with its former members moving onto new alliances.[29] On February 26, 2008, Kobashi, Akiyama, Kanemaru and Shiga, the four original members of Burning, reunited for one night only, when they were defeated by Naomichi Marufuji, Mitsuharu Misawa, Mushiking Terry and Yoshinari Ogawa in Kobashi's twentieth anniversary match.[30] In April 2012, Go Shiozaki and Tamon Honda revived Burning for the 2012 Global Tag League.[31] However, winning only three of their seven matches in the tournament, they failed to qualify for the finals.[32]

Third incarnation (2012–present)

Jun Akiyama, original co-founder and the leader of the third incarnation of Burning.

On December 3, 2012, the Tokyo Sports newspaper reported that Pro Wrestling Noah had decided to terminate the contract of Kenta Kobashi, who had suffered various injuries the past years and was at the time again sidelined from in-ring action.[33] Tokyo Sports also reported that the termination led to a backlash from Noah wrestlers with Atsushi Aoki, Go Shiozaki, Jun Akiyama, Kotaro Suzuki and Yoshinobu Kanemaru announcing that they were not going to re-sign with Noah, when their contracts with the promotion ran out at the end of the year.[34] Noah president Akira Taue responded to the report, announcing that Kobashi would address his situation at Ryōgoku Kokugikan on December 9, while also confirming that the promotion was in negotiations with five wrestlers whose contracts were set to expire shortly.[35] On December 9, Kobashi announced that he would wrestle one more match and retire in a Noah ring sometime during 2013.[36][37] On December 19, Noah announced that the negotiations with Atsushi Aoki, Go Shiozaki, Jun Akiyama, Kotaro Suzuki and Yoshinobu Kanemaru had ended and all five men would leave the promotion following December 24.[38] After parting ways with Noah, the five men made an unadvertised appearance for All Japan Pro Wrestling on January 26, 2013, announcing that they had joined the promotion, forming the third incarnation of the Burning stable.[7] Though essentially working exclusively for All Japan, the five were officially freelancers.[3][4][1][6][2] The five quickly laid claim to All Japan's top titles.[7] Yoshinobu Kanemaru was the first of the five to receive his title shot and on February 23, defeated Shuji Kondo for the AJPW World Junior Heavyweight Championship.[39][40][41] The event was headlined by a five singles match series between members of Burning and representatives of All Japan; Burning won the series 3–2 with Kanemaru clinching the decisive win in the main event.[42] Burning received two more title shots on March 17. After Aoki and Suzuki failed to capture the AJPW All Asia Tag Team Championship from the Junior Stars (Koji Kanemoto and Minoru Tanaka), Akiyama and Shiozaki brought the stable its second title by defeating Get Wild (Manabu Soya and Takao Ōmori) for the AJPW Unified World Tag Team Championship.[43][44] Also during the event, Kenta Kobashi made an appearance, publicly giving his blessing to the newest incarnation of Burning, while also announcing that he was joining All Japan following his retirement match as the new Pacific Wrestling Federation (PWF) chairman.[45] On April 7, Aoki and Suzuki defeated Jounetsu Hentai Baka (Hikaru Sato and Hiroshi Yamato) in the finals to win the 2013 Junior Hyper Tag League and earn another shot at the AJPW All Asia Tag Team Championship.[46] This led to a rematch between Aoki and Suzuki and the Junior Stars on April 25, where Burning took home its third title.[47] Burning's domination led to a storyline, where even rivals such as Suwama and Takao Ōmori came together to rally All Japan in its war with the stable.[48] Burning continued its winning ways on April 29, when Jun Akiyama won the 2013 Champion Carnival, being victorious in the finals over Kai, who had defeated Go Shiozaki in his semifinal match.[49][50][51] As a result, Akiyama became the number one contender to All Japan's top title, the AJPW Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship.[52] On May 11, all five members of Burning made a one-night return to Noah to take part in Kenta Kobashi's retirement event, titled Final Burning in Budokan. While Aoki and Suzuki wrestled in a midcard tag team match, where they defeated former Burning members Kentaro Shiga and Tamon Honda, the other three members took part in Kobashi's retirement match, an eight-man tag team main event, where Kanemaru, Shiozaki, Kenta and Maybach Taniguchi, another Kobashi trainee and a member of the second incarnation of Burning, were defeated by Kobashi, Akiyama, Keiji Mutoh and Kensuke Sasaki, with Kobashi pinning Kanemaru for the win.[53][54][55]

On June 30, Akiyama received his shot at the AJPW Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship, but was defeated by the defending champion, Suwama.[56][57] Post-match, Suwama accepted a challenge made for his title by another Burning member, Go Shiozaki.[58] June 30 also marked the end of an era for All Japan, when several wrestlers loyal to Keiji Mutoh left the promotion in a mass exodus caused by Nobuo Shiraishi taking over as the promotion's new president.[59][60] All five members of Burning, however, remained loyal to All Japan and, on July 5, announced that they had signed contracts with the promotion, officially ending their freelancing days.[61][62][63][64] On August 25, Go Shiozaki also failed in his attempt to capture the Triple Crown Heavyweight Championship from Suwama.[65][66][67] In September, Akiyama, Kanemaru, Shiozaki and Suzuki all took part in the 2013 Ōdō Tournament. Shiozaki made it furthest in the tournament, reaching the finals, after eliminating both Suzuki and Kanemaru as well as top Unified World Tag Team Championship contender Joe Doering,[68][69][70] before losing to Akebono.[71] On October 22, Akiyama and Shiozaki lost the Unified World Tag Team Championship to Evolution (Joe Doering and Suwama).[72][73][74] The following day, Shiozaki announced that he was leaving Burning in order to reach the Triple Crown.[75][76][77] This was followed by Suzuki announcing on October 29 that he was also leaving Burning in order to challenge Kanemaru for the AJPW World Junior Heavyweight Championship.[78] Suzuki was followed out of Burning by his AJPW All Asia Tag Team Championship partner Aoki, leaving Akiyama and Kanemaru as the two remaining members of the stable.[79] Shiozaki, Aoki and Suzuki remained together following their resignation from Burning, forming the new Xceed stable on November 21.[80][81] On January 26, 2014, Akiyama and Kanemaru gained a measure of revenge on their former stablemates, when they defeated Aoki and Suzuki to win the AJPW All Asia Tag Team Championship.[82][83]
