<p>I'm actually running a booking committee at a wrestling forum (myself and another user, I did the first three months, he's doing the current three)</p><p> </p><p> Findlay just gave us his notice, so we're moving to protect anyone who isn't loyal to us with written contracts.</p><p> </p><p> We're starting a faction war, with BCG Loyalists, GCG Veterans, Golden Domination (a Gaijin Bullet Club-like causing trouble), all breaking out.</p><p> </p><p> Taku the Younger (Yoshinaka) took the Challengers Series belt from Goto at Heritage. Goto (and to a point Matsushita) just don't have the stamina to work in our system yet. Luckily for me, I don't have to worry about him, he tore a rotator cuff and is out a year.</p><p> </p><p> Funakoshi defended the belt at Heritage against Blast Ikoma. (Ikoma has had his ups and downs, so far, at one point, we were thinking of pretty much making him just another midcarder, but he seems to have picked it up).</p><p> </p><p> We did a (Very) Mini G1 style tag tournament during the TagMania Tour. Two groups of four (where the first place teams advanced to a four team tournament at TagMania, the 2nd teams faced off for the third spot, and the existing tag champions (Miura and Yoshizawa) took the final spot. This ended up being Frankie Perez and Giant Brody (of golden Domination), Furusawa and Ikoma, Harker and Findlay, as well as the tag champs.</p><p> </p><p> Furusawa and Ikoma (who have great chemistry as teammates) won the TagMania tournament title. It was nice to have main eventers with chemistry, because in our dream tag match, we found out that Funakoshi and Torii had zero chemistry. Which was a good set up for month 3.</p><p> </p><p> The main event of Fighting Spirit was Torii vs Funakoshi. Got us a 77 (the way I laid out the card wasn't great though, it could have been higher, Torii got an 86 for that match, Funakoshi got an 85). But Torii became a three time champion, and that seemed to put Funakoshi in a bit of a funk.</p><p> </p><p> The Maeda Grand Prix G1-stage was during the tour matches (two groups of 6, alternating each day for the 10 tour dates). There was a three-way tie in one group (SUKI, Furusawa, Funakoshi), and the two qualifiers in the other group were Findlay and Okamoto. The final was Furusawa vs Okamoto, and they tore it down. I'll let Dan's post tell the details:</p><p> </p><p> <strong>MAIN EVENT</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> BCG Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix Finals: Mabuchi Furusawa defeats Razan Okamoto in 23:45 to become the 2020 Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix Winner. Rating: 82 (!!!)</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> Furusawa 92 (HOLY ****), Okamoto 88 (HOLY ******* ****)</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> THEY HAVE GREAT CHEMISTRY. TWO OF OUR 3 BEST WORKERS HAVE GREAT CHEMISTRY</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> But I burnt out the crowd! This could have been the Japanese match of the year if I took a match or two out there! DA**IT!</strong></p><p> </p><p> We also gave the tag titles to a new team of Tanyu Toshusai and signee Logain Wolfsbaine (Tosh and Wolf)</p><p> </p><p> Month 5, just completed. Our original thinking was to be the build towars Furusawa vs Torii.. but Findlay giving notice meant that we needed to use him up in matches, and honestly, he had deserved it with his performances to that point. Torii's in-ring performance against Findlay? 92!, that meant even with Findlay having a relatively "off" night (70) and some issues with psychology, we put up an 82 Main Event</p>
