He says that they can do various things, but he himself wants a DREAM vs. SRC showdown, somewhere from 5 vs. 5 to 7 vs. 7. Besides Masato/Souwer, Ishii/Yoshida, K-1 Koshien, and superfights he wants all fights to be DREAM vs. SRC.

Tanigawa was also asked about the previous rumor of a dual broadcast (two events at different locations aired on the same program) of the events on TBS. He said that sponsors and stuff like that was too big of a hurdle. The same sponsors couldn’t be on the ring of the Dynamite!! and SRC 12 events, which would be a problem.

When asked if SENGOKU will continue on after NYE, Tanigawa said "of course it will". They’ll probably discuss it after NYE, but he wants to hold showdown cards between the two organizations at fixed intervals from now on.

Tanigawa said that there won’t be a DREAM+SRC merger organization after this. He rather want both of them to grow more powerful and at times join to hold events as stated above.

As in Sakuraba vs Kazou Misaki? I thought he had received a permanent ban from fighting in Japan for legal issues?

The ban was only from Sengoku.

If Kawajiri doe snot fight Aoki I will be pissed.

You shouldn’t. Dynamite cards are for BIG fights, plus may have an SRC x DREAM theme. They will save Aoki vs Crusher for a DREAM event.

On what planet is Hirota a bigger deal than Kawajiri?

It mentions “besides superfights” which I would think excludes the Aoki fight. I hope so anyway.
