Hey it's been awhile. These are some older renders I haven't posted since I was last here. - - - Edward Cornell | Tommy Cornell | Beast Bantom (lighting adjustment) | Sir Winston Watoga - - - Otis Von Battenberg | Sasquatch McGraw | Findlay O'Farraday | Animal Harker I don't use DAZ anymore but I've been learning to draw and paint so I had a go at creating a CVerse character. Dreadnought I can't draw to the level of DAZ or AI yet but when I get better and can make pictures that fit in well with the other renders on the board maybe I'll create some more. For now consider this an experiment.

MJPW Way of the Warrior Magnum Kobe vs. Mokuami Maita Maita initiates a grappling exchange to open the match. A skilled technician, he looks to play to his strengths and keep this match a submission-based contest. However, Magnum Kobe’s arsenal proves to be too diverse, and at the 10-minute mark he hits the Glorious Red (Corkscrew Moonsault) for the win. Winner: Magnum Kobe 60 Orange Tsuchie vs. SUKI Orange Tsuchie flusters SUKI quickly after the opening bell, using his speed and smaller stature to weave around his opponent and out grapple him. His advantage doesn’t last long though as SUKI’s regains his composure. Tsuchie mixes in aerial attacks with his wrestling to keep his opponent guessing but his offense starts to become predictable. SUKI telegraphs a poorly timed attempt at the Orange Flash by Tsuchie and batters him with stiff strikes. SUKI’s far superior striking is the difference maker in the match, and he takes the win after 14-minutes of back-and-forth action. Winner: SUKI 73 Golden Army (Toshiharu Hyobanshi, Kiminobu Kuroki & Lion Genji) vs. Senmatsu-gun (Reaver, Taheiji Konoe & Sozen Ishinomori) Sematsu-gun have terrorized MJPW since their formation 2 months ago, but tonight the Golden Army are the more aggressive team, each member out for revenge. Toshiharu Hyobanshi and Reaver show they are on another level to the rest of the competitors in the match, each trying to rally their teams toward victory. The Golden Army get their measure of revenge when Hyobanshi pins Ishinomori to end the match. Winners: Golden Army 68 Sir Winston Watoga vs. The Great Hisato Watoga has something to prove tonight - that he can hang with the best of MJPW. He launches forward to prove just that, unleashing on Hisato with a barrage of European uppercuts and rolling suplexes. The 22-year old’s ambition proves to be his downfall though, as he throws everything he has at his opponent without any kind of game plan. The veteran Hisato uses his experience to turn the match in his favour and walk away with the win. Winner: The Great Hisato 62 ANGLE: Hyobanshi’s Warning Takayuki 2000 is being interviewed backstage about his upcoming title bout. As he speaks about the last two months building to this match, Toshiharu Hyobanshi walks into frame to wish Takayuki luck before giving him a warning. Although they are stable mates, Hyobanshi says he has his eyes on the World Title too, and he’ll be stepping up to challenge whoever wins tonight. Americana [C] vs. SPEED D – EXODUS World Junior Heavyweight Title In the match of the night, Americana and SPEED D take to the skies in a battle full of high-risk attacks and dazzling acrobatics. The two competitors manage to keep up the blistering pace for 15-minutes, and in the end, Americana comes out on top, keeping his grasp on the title he’s been working so hard to establish in MJPW. Winner and STILL EXODUS World Junior Heavyweight Champion: Americana 76 Infamy Inc. vs. Massive Thunder (w/Magnum Kobe) – MJPW World Tag Team Titles Both sides have years of experience teaming together prior to joining MJPW. The competitors shuffle in and out of the match near constantly, each making full use of tags and double teams when they have the advantage. Magnum Kobe stays silent at ringside for most of the match. But whenever Infamy Inc. has the advantage and Masa Kurata is the legal man in the ring, Kobe starts giving instructions to his team. He shouts out the move Kurata is going to throw before it lands, helping Kawagishi and Hirose counter and regain control of the match. Kobe doesn’t have much to say when Amagawa is in the ring, having clearly studied Kurata more, but with one of their opponents essentially neutralized, the well-oiled machine of Massive Thunder runs away with the match. Commander Kawagishi pins Nichiren Amagawa with a Diamond Dust (top rope flipping stunner) and gets the pin. Winner and NEW MJPW World Tag Team Champions – Massive Thunder 69 Munemitsu Senmatsu [C] vs. Takayuki 2000 – MJPW World Heavyweight Title The match turns straight into a fist fight. Takayuki blocks and weaves then strikes. Senmatsu wades forward with his hands down and swings haymakers. The clubbing blows break through Takayuki’s guard, pushing him backward. He adjusts, ducks down low, and stomps both his feet into Senmatsu’s leg with a dropkick. Takayuki follows the same game plan others have used before him. Beat up the legs, take away the power base, then capitalize. It works at first, but Senmatsu grits his teeth and keeps fighting, not trying to avoid the damage but soaking it up and pushing forward. Takayuki finally puts Senmatsu on the ground – he goes for the Persian Deathlock (Camel Clutch). He can’t clasp his hands – Senmatsu stands with Takayuki on his back – he goes to slam him. Takayuki slips off – Senmatsu turns and charges blindly – Takayuki rolls and Senmatsu rams into the corner. He bounces off, clutching his chest – this is Takayuki’s chance – he goes up top – Takayuki Air Attack (Missile Dropkick) – No! Senmatsu catches him – he goes for another slam. Takayuki writhes around trying to get free – Senmatsu’s about to plant him – Takayuki slips down and kicks Senmatsu hard in the back of the knee – The big man collapses. Takayuki’s still on his back – Persian Deathlock! It’s in! Takayuki wrenches hard – Senmatsu tries to muscle out, pushing himself to the ropes – Takayuki pulls with all his weight, trying to snap the champ’s spine. Senmatsu’s face goes red. His eyes squeezed tight – Takayuki adjusts for another pull – Senmatsu gets an arm free. He flails up and grips his massive hand over Takayuki’s face, squeezing hard – The champion’s rising, pushing the challenger away – Takayuki slips off his back, the big man gets one boot to the mat – Takayuki rears back and knees Senmatsu in the spine. The impact ripples through the champion’s back – he knees him again the big man nearly drop – Senmatsu tries to turn around on his knees and Takayuki slams his shin into his face and the champion falls hard – The crowd are on their feet – Takayuki goes up top again, Senmatsu staggers up – Takayuki gets ready, the crowd cheering him on – he leaps through the air – Senmatsu whips around – Super Smash Lariat! Takayuki thuds down on the canvas and a furious Senmatsu clutches his spine. He clamps his hands around Takayuki’s head and hoists him off the ground. The challenger is dazed, stumbling over his own feet. Senmatsu hits the ropes and charges forward – another Super Smash Lariat! It’s all over. Winner and STILL MJPW World Heavyweight Champion: Munemitsu Senmatsu 75 ANGLE: Post-match Senmatsu isn’t satisfied. He snatches his title out of the ref’s hands and tosses it aside. He turns to the entrance way and taunts the Golden Army members watching backstage, challenging them to come out and fight him. Takayuki is still motionless on the canvas and Senmatsu tugs his head off the ground by his hair, turning the fallen challenger’s face towards the entranceway. Using Takayuki as a prop to provoke the Golden Army. A man pushes through the entrance way. Senmatsu readies himself, until he sees who the lone man is, and his hands drop as he tries to make sense of what he’s seeing. Hiroyasu Gakusha, without aid of crutches, walks down to the ring, hops up on the apron, and passes through the ropes. He glances down to his ally, still lying on the ground, then he steps up to the champion and stares him straight in the eye. The last image of the show is Gakusha and Senmatsu facing off as the crowd goes wild around them. Final Show Rating: 75

CGC Canadian Title Match: Jake Solan vs The Masked Prefect Land Mass & Mammoth vs Condor & Canadian Dragon Dirty Frank vs Battering Lamb For new title ideas I suggest either A trios title. Makes sense since you've already got 2 singles and a tag belt. Also a natural title for factions to hold and can create interesting dynamics between temporary allies who challenge for or hold the championship As has been suggested already, a title where the champion gets to choose the stipulation. I've toyed with this idea in personal saves. The way I did it was that the new champion would choose a stipulation for their title reign. All of their title defenses would be contested under that single stipulation they chose until the end of their reign. Then the new champion would choose their stipulation. I tried to stay away from weapons based matches for the most part and treated the stipulations as strategic choices by the champions. E.g., a technician could choose submission matches or no strikes allowed matches, a slow powerhouse might choose no ropes matches to take away the arsenal of speedy high fliers, etc.

Recap of April Week 3 - May Week 2, 2017 (Part 2) Next Big Thing In the second half of April, Orange Tsuchie and SUKI finally met face to face. SUKI used the fact that he was defeating his recent opponents faster than Orange Tsuchie to belittle the monk’s achievements. Tsuchie was ready to fight later that night, but SUKI put forward a different challenge. Next week, the two men would compete to see who could beat their opponent in the fastest time. So a Beat the Clock Challenge was set. SUKI faced The Tic in the next week’s opening match. The Tic’s cartoonish ring gear fooled SUKI into lowering his guard, and the former GCG World Champion was pushed to a much harder fight than he expected. It took SUKI a little over 10-minutes to defeat his opponent, giving Orange Tsuchie a good stretch of time to win the challenge. However, Tsuchie had a difficult opponent to overcome, but one he did not underestimate. Orange Tsuchie and Eagle Kawasawa had a very competitive match, and it was only at the 8-minute mark that Tsuchihe started to gain some real steam. SUKI came down to the ring and yelled at the referee, ranting about an incident of Orange Tsuchie cheating in the match, an incident that never happened, and trying to buy time for himself to win the challenge. It was a cheap trick but it worked. The momentum of the match stalled and as both competitors fought with everything they had to put the other away, the timer ticked passed 10 and a half minutes. The match was stopped and ruled a time limit draw. SUKI won the Beat the Clock Challenge. After the match, SUKI entered the ring to gloat. Orange Tsuchie and Eagle Kawasawa, embarrassed to have been victims of such a cheap trick, decided they weren’t just going to stand and let SUKI taunt them. The two men teamed up and flattened SUKI, leaving the intruder to scramble out of the ring and flee backstage. Next week, Orange Tsuchie vs. SUKI was made official for Way of the Warrior, both men putting their pride on the line and setting out to use the other as a stepping stone up the card. Tag Team Turmoil Two big tag team matches kicked off the second half of April. Infamy Inc. (Masa Kurata & Nichiren Amagawa) defeated The Samoan Pitbulls (Akima Brave and Toma) to continue their path to the Tag Team Titles. Massive Thunder (Shimpei Hirose & Commander Kawagishi), with the guidance of Magnum Kobe from their corner, overcame Brothers In Vengeance (Hiroshi Morisue & Battle Sakata) in a hard fought battle. The match for the Tag Titles was set. Infamy Inc. vs. Massive Thunder at MJPW Way of the Warrior. But if either team thought they wouldn’t have to deal with any other contenders, they were wrong. 4-time WLW Tag Team Champions Black House (Kazuma Narato & Mokuami Maita) had been quiet over the last month, but they had their eyes on the new championships as well, watching and waiting to see which team would establish themselves as the ones to beat. They also had their eye on Magnum Kobe and mocked their fellow WLW alumni for latching on to the success of Massive Thunder, calling his actions desperate and pathetic. Two weeks before the PPV, Black House teamed with Infamy Inc. in a winning effort over Massive Thunder and Brothers In Vengeance in an 8-man tag match. Although Massive Thunder were on the losing side, Magnum Kobe appeared to be scouting out Infamy Inc., going as far as to stand in their corner for the entire bout to observe them. This angered the opposing team, specifically Masa Kurata, who yelled and cursed at Kobe multiple times during the match to go away. On the go-home edition of Fusion, the contract was signed for the first ever MJPW World Tag Team Title match. Ryu Kajahara oversaw preceedings, and once again unveiled a new championship for the company. Another match was also set for Way of the Warrior. In response to Black House’s trash talk, Magnum Kobe invited one of the pair to step into the ring with him. Mokuami Maita agreed, setting up Kobe’s first match since the World Title tournament two months ago. The Young Lion vs. The Veteran After an unsuccessful start in MJPW, The Great Hisato promised to return to the ring in better form. Hype videos showed the veteran training for his return, and Hisato stepped back into the ring in April, defeating young lion Ichiro Mitsukuri. Meanwhile, Sir Winston Watoga continued to build momentum with an impressive win over Pretty Okakura. After Hisato’s win over Hyotaru in his second match since returning, Watoga headed to the ring to confront the veteran. After an exchange of words, a match was set for MJPW Way of the Warrior. The 44-year old Great Hisato said he wanted to prove he still belongs in the ring, and Watoga, half the age of his opponent, said he wants to make his name at the expense of the WLW legend. What Else is Happening in MJPW: The Samoan Pitbulls have been fighting to gain back lost momentum after failing to qualify for the Tag Team Title match After failing to pass the opening round of the World Title tournament, Kuniyoshi Kawamura has been slowly working his way back up from the undercard Teams HUSTLE-X (Pretty Okakura & Shirai Yanagawa) and Dean Daniels & Greg Gauge have gone on a losing streak in both tag and singles competition. If these men can't turn their luck around then their future in MJPW could be in jeopardy. Card for MJPW Way of the Warrior Munemitsu Senmatsu [C] vs. Takayuki 2000 – MJPW World Heavyweight Title Infamy Inc. vs. Massive Thunder – MJPW World Tag Team Titles Americana [C] vs. SPEED D – EXODUS World Junior Heavyweight Title Sir Winston Watoga vs. The Great Hisato Golden Army (Toshiharu Hyobanshi, Kiminobu Kuroki & Lion Genji) vs. Senmatsu-gun (Reaver, Taheiji Konoe & Sozen Ishinomori) Orange Tsuchie vs. SUKI Magnum Kobe vs. Mokuami Maita

Recap of April Week 3 - May Week 2, 2017 (Part 1) Senmatsu-gun vs. Golden Army Once again, Takayuki 2000 challenged Munemitsu Senmatsu. With the ‘Way of the Warrior’ PPV 4 weeks away, Takayuki made it clear he would do whatever it takes to headline the event against the World Champion. Sick of the challenger’s callouts, Senmatsu-gun lackey Sozen Ishinomori said he would fight Takayuki himself and finally shut him up. That was a promise he couldn’t live up to though, as Takayuki claimed victory in the night’s main event. After the bout, Senmatsu walked out and made Takayuki an offer. If he and Toshiharu Hyobanshi could win another tag match next week, then Takayuki would get his title shot. If not, Senmatsu would be killing two birds with one stone, eliminating both contenders at once. Takayuki agreed and the next week, he and Hyobanshi took on Reaver and Taheiji Konoe in a hard-hitting brawl. All men gave everything they had. Reaver and Konoe fought to continue their dominance, Takayuki fought for his shot for the title, and Hyobanshi pursued his revenge against two men who had cost him his chance at gold. However, the match came to an abrupt end when Taheiji Konoe slid into the ring and smashed Takayuki 2000 in the head with a steel chair. Reaver grabbed another chair and joined Konoe in attacking the Golden Army team. The match was ruled a DQ and Senmatsu walked out to the entrance stage, laughing at Takayuki and Hyobanshi. He congratulated The Golden Army on their “victory” and said that Takayuki would get his title shot. Takayuki 2000 & Toshiharu Hyobanshi def. Reaver & Taheiji Konoe after an intentional DQ finish, in what was the highest rated match of the last 4 weeks. The following week, Takayuki defeated Taheiji Konoe in the main event. Before the match, Hiroyasu Gakusha rallied The Golden Army backstage, telling the members they all had to watch each other’s backs from now on. When Senmatsu-gun tried to keep the fight going after the bell, The Golden Army ran out to back up Takayuki, resulting in a huge 4 on 4 brawl. The Golden Army gained the upper hand when Lion Genji returned and ran to their aid, helping send Senmatsu-gun fleeing to the back. Lion Genji returns after being injured by Taheiji Konoe With Munemitsu Senmatsu set to defend his World Title against Takayuki 2000, another match was added to the Way of the Warrior card. In a 6-man tag match, Toshiharu Hyobanshi, Kiminobu Kuroki & Lion Genji take on Reaver, Taheiji Konoe & Sozen Ishinomori. Giving their final words about their upcoming match, Takayuki 2000 said Senmatsu made a big mistake taking him lightly and gifting him the title shot with the DQ. Senmatsu said that he is champion simply because he is the most dominant fighter in MJPW. He made it clear there would be no interference from his allies during the title match. Best of the Juniors Americana continued to boost the prestige of the junior division with another stellar title match, defeating The Tic to make his 2nd successful defense. During the match, Tsuneyo Yanagimoto watched from the front row and entered the ring to face off with Americana after the bout ended. Next week a Fatal 4 Way match was announced to decide the no.1 contender for the EXODUS World Junior Heavyweight Title. Yanagimoto would face SPEED D, a regular show stealer every time he competes, Snow Storm, a young high flier who pushed the champ to the limit in a competitive match, and Tiger Prince, a rookie with 2-years’ experience who shows great potential. The four contenders had a tag team match, where Yanagimoto & SPEED D took on Snow Storm & Tiger Prince. Yanagimoto got the pin over Tiger Prince to win the match, giving him a boost of momentum going into the no.1 contender match. However, during the Fatal 4 Way match, SPEED D snuck up behind Yanagimoto and threw him out of the ring, then stole the pinfall to win the match. SPEED D became the official no.1 contender and Yanagimoto was left without a PPV match or a shot at taking back his title.

Recap of March Week 3 - April Week 2 (Part 2) Next Big Thing Despite coming up short in the World Title tournament, Orange Tsuchie has proved to be a talent to watch for the future. MJPW’s backstage interviewer said as much during the 27-year old’s Fusion debut, hyping up his strong start with the company. Later that evening, Orange Tsuchie earned another win by beating Kaoru Shibasawa. However, the match was most memorable for what happened outside the ring. SUKI made his presence known by walking out to the entrance ramp to observe the match In the following weeks, SUKI cut promos belittling Orange Tsuchie’s achievements, claiming that he himself was the hottest rising star in MJPW. Both competitors has in-ring success throughout the month, with one point of pride for SUKI being that he defeated Koki Ishibashi faster than Tsuchie did the week prior. Orange Tsuchie replied to SUKI’s trash talk, saying that if he had a problem, they should meet face-to-face. And with their rivalry heating up, it's only a matter of time before they do. Tag Team Turmoil With the company’s top singles prize claimed, MJPW’s tag teams have been staking their claim to the new World Tag Team Championship. On the first episode of Fusion, Infamy Inc. (Masa Kurata & Nichiren Amagawa) accepted Brothers In Vengeance’s (Hiroshi Morisue & Battle Sakata) challenge issued at Fight For The Throne. The challenge was made with the intention of their match being for the tag titles, but The Samoan Pitbulls (Akima Brave & Toma) interrupted, saying that Infamy Inc. weren’t going to get away with skipping over the rest of the division. Meanwhile, Massive Thunder (Shimpei Hirose & Commander Kawagishi) had a successful MJPW debut as a tag team. The duo has since called out Brothers In Vengeance to a match, wanting to prove themselves against one of the division’s top teams. Two big tag team matches are now set for the second half of April, and the winners will face each other for the new World Tag Team Titles. Infamy Inc. walk into their match as favourites, especially after Masa Kurata showed his exceptional skill as a singles competitor by defeating Samoan Pitbull Toma. Brothers In Vengeance were favoured for their match, but Massive Thunder have asked top star Magnum Kobe to corner them for their match. This new alliance comes after Shimpei Hirose and Kobe teamed up and eliminated multiple competitors together during the Revolution Rumble. Time will tell what influence the former WLW star will have on the young duo. On The Come-up Here are several names who have been working their way up the card with stand out performances this past month: With an active Junior title now in the company, competitors have been preparing to step up and challenge for the championship. SPEED D and The Tic have gone from delivering show stealing matches on the prelims to fighting and winning on the main card. Taheiji Konoe & Reaver continue to solidify the dominance of Senmatsu-gun in MJPW, going undefeated in the first month of Fusion. Sir Winston Watoga, a peculiar young Japanese fighter has shown promise by earning several wins in the last month. The 22-year old makes his entrances dressed as a stereotypical English aristocrat, the outfit including his trademark walking cane and top hat. It makes for a ridiculous spectacle, but don't be fooled. Watoga utilizes his European influenced moveset to brutal effect. He is without a doubt a dangerous competitor in MJPW. Headlines from around the World: 47-year old Masaaki Okazaki defeated Kinnojo Horri to win the Burning World championship. After nearly 3 decades in the business, this marks the veteran’s first ever reign with BHOTWG’s top prize. International superstar Nicky Champion signs with Mexico based SOTBPW. 1 week before reaching a calender year as TCW World Heavyweight Champion, Sammy Bach signed with industry juggernaut USPW.
