Back in October, Naruki Doi and Naoki Tanisaki’s former Deep Drunkers teamed up to turn on World-1. Since then they’ve teamed up with Gamma and the WARRIORS to form a super heel group that seems to primarily want to destroy World-1, and to a lesser extent dominate Kamikaze and the Zetsurins as well. Cyber Kong was invited to join the group but declined, so Kamikaze get the first marquee match against the new group.
