No, they're NJPW wrestlers.

Doubtful most of the names you mentioned would work an Inoki show, as they are in NJPW and have their own mega-show Jan 4. Inoki collaborating with some movers and shakers to put together a last minute DREAM addition is more likely than working with NJPW on a NYE show.

Mutoh is doing his own thing now with the revived Wrassle-1, but as far as I know they aren't set to do anything for NYE.

Why the fight with Cro Cop doesn't happen?

Well I know Cro Cop has a fight against Alexei Oleinik (Sp) like tomorrow. That and I've heard countless other rumored fights for him so maybe it just didn't work out like originally planned.
 
Just translating what he tweeted, basically announcing that a legit foreigner, who will fight for the first time in japan, and a veteran have been signed. And the Sapp thing is not worth translating.

So Ishii vs. Cro Cop isn't happening :(. Fujita is an interesting fight I suppose but he's way past his best.

Yeah man I was hoping he would fight CC for NYE since that was the rumor. Now CC will probably get a can opponent which doesn't excite anyone unless CC KOs him with a LHK lol.
 
It's not up to them. If the Yakuza says fight, you fight.

UFC is not an option. Ask Aoki.
 
I remember Simon Inoki attended a TNA event when Liger jobbed out to Samoe Joe.
 
Any one know if any other MMA bouts have been announced for this?

This guy seems to be booking the MMA matches or something because he is talking to Aoki and Kitaoka about getting them fights for Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye.

Bobbu Sappu is PR Director?

Can I get some translation?

Aoki and Kitaoka would be a great start to building up a nice NYE card. Hope they can get some other ONE FC and Pancrase fighters as well.

None other have been announced yet, but Shuji Morikawa who's fought on past IGF cards announced after his last fight at GRACHAN 11 yesterday he would be participating on the card too.

Aside from that, no, nothing else.

It's also worth noting, the Ishii vs. Cro Cop was never made up by IGF. It was made up by fans after Ishii mentioned in an interview he was interested in fighting Cro Cop, but not much else was mentioned.
 
Don't expect Aoki and Kitaoka on the card.
Inoki isn't interested in hobbits.
 
IGF allows soccer kicks and knees. Do they allow stomps as well? Can't remember.
