Matthew Keith just died in January 2021 on my BHOTWG save. I built him up to be my figurehead. So the question is do I cheat and go back a week or do I hold an annual tournament G1 style in his honour?? I’m torn!

Playing as BHOTWG and currently just finished Summit challenge 5 in August. It’s been a pretty fun and interesting save so far so I thought I would share what’s going on! Taira relinquished the leadership of NEO-X to Sakai after losing to him at Fire Dream Of The Immortals. The match came about after Sakai felt he was carrying the group. Sakai scored a win in a six man pinning Takayuki 2000. Takayuki had previously beat Taira at The Burning path while Sakai had picked up victories over Ino and Takayuki in back to back PPV’s. After the match at FDOTI Sakai offered a kindness to Taira and let him choose to either bow to him and stay in the group or the other members would beat him down and kick him out the stable. Taira choose the former and has remained in the group. Subtly waiting for a chance to take back control. Horri was on a tear in the first half of 2020 defending his title against Nakasawa (Warrior Globe), Masuno (FDOTI), Toshusai (Sword of Destiny) and finally Senmatsu (Infreno of Purity) after the match with Senmatsu, Sakai came out to challenge Horri to a match at BOTSJ after he a claimed another victory over Takayuki 2000 to become number one contender in the eyes of many. Horri excepted and the match was set. Meanwhile in the junior division Sensational Dragon has defended the Junior Heavyweight title five times in the build-up to BOTSJ against Hijo Del Relampago, Yamura, Masuko, MYSTIC Dragon and Elemental III. Headlining two PPV’s against the latter. Kokan announced his retirement after a lose for the junior tag belts against Rebel Run X at Warrior Globe. Then in an emotional fair well he lost his last match to Konda at the end of his last tour. Tsuneyo Yanagimoto debuted forming the NeoTokyo Assassin Squad with Ko Minamino the team have built up some momentum and Ko Minamino was given his first ever entry to the BOTSJ as a result. Shingen Miyazaki dropped weight and debuted as part of the golden army joining forces with Kuroki and winning the junior tag titles at the first attempt against Rebel Run X at Test of Prophecies. In the tag ranks The Killing Floor made three defences against Strike Unit, Heavy Artillery and SUKI and Torii (who I picked up after he walked out of BCG on a six year deal) before dropping the straps to The Dogs of War (Shimakage and Kamioka) @ Sword of Destiny. The Japan Title was defended by Michio Gensai three times before being moved on to SUKI who is looking like a star. SUKI has yet to defend the title yet. He has been reluctant to join the Golden Army stating he was always an outcast when he was in GCG and that he was never given a fair chance being held down by the old guard. Now he will prove he is better than them all taking on every member of the Golden army and proving once and for all he is in a different class. Back to the BOTSJ which was a twelve man two group round robin with the two group winners facing off for the trophy. Group A was topped by MYSTIC dragon after his dramatic last day draw with Sensational Dragon keeping him at the top of the group. Dragon had to win as he couldn’t put away Masuko in the first match and was held to a draw. MYSTIC used this to his advantage by slowing the match down as much as possible, knowing if he could last half hour he would be in the final and have a chance to win his first BOTSJ title. Group B came down to the last day two with both Elemental III and Emerald Angel being tied on eight points going into the match. Angel came out in top putting him in the BOTSJ final in his first attempt. BOTSJ was a massive success for the company and Emerald Angel who was crowned BOTSJ and setting up and once on a lifetime showdown with Sensational Dragon down the road. It was a less fortunate night for NEO Prime as not only did Gensai drop the Japan title to SUKI but king Horri was toppled by Heihachiro Sakai in an outstanding main event. On the first night of the following tour slaughter house beat Horri, ino and Keith causing Keith to question the pairs leadership, Ino dismissed him telling Keith if he thinks he had what it it takes to lead NEO Prime he should challenge him. Setting up a match for summit challenge. Then night three of the summer tour came the biggest surprise in Japanese wrestling history. Keith and Ino fell further in to dissension losing to Nakasawa and Toshusai in the main event. When the members of NEO Prime had managed to pull the two apart and get them away from ringside, Nakasawa and Toshusai grab the mic to send the fans home happy but before they could speak a familiar sound came beaming out the speakers it was the iconic music of Yoshimi Mushashibo who was joined by Eisaku Kunomasu. The Pride Legends challenge the two BHOTWG loyalists to a match a Summit Challenge! Summit Challenge will forever go down as one of the best shows in BHOTWG history. Keith beat Ino and challenge Horri to a match at NOTBH the winner is sole leader of the group the other must leave NEO Prime. Angel put his shot at the junior title up for grabs against Masuko after Masuko baited him in by claiming to be better than Angel causing his egotism to get the better of him and agree. Angel won in a match that is regarded as one of the best in history and giving him massive momentum going into his match with Dragon at NOTBH. Mushashibo and Kunomasu got the better of Toshusai and Nakasawa. In the main event Sakai and Masuno tore the house down with Sakai eventually retaining and making his fist defence. After the match that iconic music hit again and Mushashibo challenged Sakai for the title at NOTBH! Night Of The Burning Hammer is shaping up nicely with the three matches booked so far being……. BHOTWG World Championship match Yoshimi Mushashibo Challenging Heihachiro Sakai BHOTWG Junior Heavyweight Championship match (BOTSJ winner) Emerald Angel Challenging Sensational Dragon Matthew Keith Challenging Kinnojo Horri Winner is sole leader of NEO Prime loser must leave the group. Absolutely loving this save so far…..

Debuting a new stable lead by Pistol Pete hall in TCW. Hall has brought in Findlay O’Farraday and Animal Harker as a tag team, and SUKI he manages all three men. They are a face unit set to feud with Dreads heel group. I’ve drawn a complete blank on thinking up a name for the stable. Any help would be appreciated!

Match Time: 16:34 46/100 Post show comments Giant Brody: MATSUSHITA! I AM COMING FOR YOU!!! Toshinobu Taku: Another massive win for me and my boy this evening. Yes, I may be fifty-two years of age, but I still feel like I can go, and I feel like I have one more World Tag Team Title reign in me. I will only stop when I think I am holding Yoshinaka back as his partner and hopefully that day will not come too soon. Yoshinaka Taku: Exactly that, it’s one more big victory for my father and myself. If this is our last journey together, I will give everything to make sure there is gold at the end of it for us. You have given your life to help me, and nothing would please me more than to give something back to you. Goto: If Narahashi wants to face me for the challengers Series I am happy to rise to his challenge. I can run and hide and lick my wounds after he pinned me or step up to the challenge to measure how much I have improved and grown. I do not feel the same shame in defeat as I would as a coward.

Nooooooo! I missed the chance to predict. Another win for Matsuki though is fantastic and Matsushita retaining is interesting. That Torii vs Furusawa grade is insane. Keep up the great work man.

I think they will be the first Black Canvas guys to win a belt on American soil, either together or in singles, they are both talented boys. Thursday I will face Doi in a one-on-one match, and no matter how much I want him to have a fantastic career I can guarantee you it will not be at my expense. Thursday will just be another lesson in how to be gracious in defeat for the kid.</p><p> </p><p> Ichiro Mitsukuri: Although we fell tonight, we fall together.

WHEN I SEE YOU NEXT, I AM GONNA END YOU!!!</p><p> </p></div><p></p><p></p>

What a great show! I am so glad Matsuki got the win, he has always been my favourite Cornellverse character. Hopefully he'll get to challenge for the GCG World title soon regardless of if it Funokoshi or Matsushita holding it. I'm really interested to see if you pick up American Buffalo and how he fits into you plans. I've never given him any thought as a BCG guy, but thinking about it he would be a pretty decent fit. Really enjoying reading this and looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Goto, Furusawa, Miura & Yoshizawa Narahashi pinned Goto after a Narahashi Cutter. Match Time 17:31 Match Rating 52/100 Post show comments Big Bruiser Findlay: That was just a taste of what is instore for you in two weeks Yoshizawa and Miura. In two weeks, you won’t just have to incur more pain and another loss, but when it is all said and done you will have to lay on the canvas while me and this crazy son a bitch stands over you with those tag belts around our waists. Animal Harker: That’s right Bruiser. Miura, Yoshizawa, we don’t care how big you are or how bad you are because we are bigger and badder. We’re gonna whoop your asses all over that arena. We’re gonna hit you with chairs. We’re gonna bite you, kick you and stamp on your heads. If you beg for your lives enough, we might spare them, but I wouldn’t count on it. No matter how much blood gets spilt or how many bones break the outcome will be the Wild Ones as new BCG World Tag Team Champions. Maeda: Tanyu Toshusai had made our staff aware of a of a pain he was experiencing in his jaw after his match on Wednesday. Thankfully, his X-ray showed he had only sustained a fractured jaw; I say thankfully as our medical team feared a lot worse. Both Toshusai and Bunrakuken Torii have asked me if they can compete in a singles match. Hopefully Toshusai will be cleared to compete by our final show of the Heritage tour and we do have space on the card still, so as long as he feels ready we are hopeful both men can settle their differences then. Dynamite Narahashi: I cannot speak for the higher ups here at BCG all I can do is keep winning. This evening I got a massive win over the current Challenger Series holder Goto. I am in good form and like I said its not me who decides the matches, but I must be in line for a title shot soon.

Narahashi, Matsushita & Torii Toshusai pinned Torii with a Dangerous Brainbuster. Match Time 21:02 Match Rating 59/100 Post show comments Doi: That was a really special moment to be able to face one of the best tag teams on the planet. You could probably tell it was myself and Emoto’s first time teaming together but we will get stronger as a unit the more we team and hopefully when we meet Miura and Yoshizawa in the ring next it will be a far more competitive match. Torri: I am disappointed, of course I am. Nobody wants to start the year with their shoulders pinned to the mat, but as you know I am not one to dwell on a loss. If Toshusai wants to prove he is on my level, we can go one on one. That is the only true way to find out who the best wrestler is. Toshusai: What a moment, to beat a former world champion in the main event should be a joyous celebration for me now but instead I need to go to the hospital to see if my jaw is broken. I heard Torii wants to avenge his loss to me. I except and if the match can be made and I am cleared to compete I will show the country this evening was no fluke.

Two of which will involve the four men sat here with myself and Masayuki.</p><p> But before we get into that Masayuki has an announcement he would like to make. </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> Shiga: Happy new year everyone, I am extremely pleased and excited to announce that as of today Black Canvas Grappling will be working with New York City Wrestling. </p><p> </p><p> <img alt="Ac0cxaU.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/Ac0cxaU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="vuqetRI.jpg" data-src="https://imgur.com/vuqetRI.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p> The deal will allow us a chance to send our younger members of the roster on excursion to the states to gain some seasoning.</p><p> As this will be our first time working with another company, and sending our young talents abroad, we will be sending two youngsters together. Suguru Emoto has expressed his eagerness to wrestle the likes of Andrew Harper and Riley McManus, and he will be joined by Takenori Doi. The pair have told me they would like to team together on this upcoming tour before they leave which I have excepted. They would like to be referred to by the name EmoDoi when they team together.</p><p> As Doi is still regarded as a young lion we will be adopting the puroresu tradition of putting him through a series of trial matches on the tour against some of our more experienced veteran warriors. Some of these trial matches will be alone and some as one half of EmoDoi. We will also give them a send off match together on our final show against the American cobra’s as a taste of what the next two years will hold for them. </p><p> </p><p> SUKI leans back in his chair and puts his feet on the desk. </p><p> </p><p> SUKI: Who cares? This is so typical of the favouritism shown in this company towards people you regard as “your own”. You are wasting the Japanese publics time talking about nobodies when they have all come to hear me, the greatest wrestler to ever lace a pair of boots tell them how I am going to end the career of this spinless, brown nosed, coward. Yes, Mabuchi I am talking to you, maybe you cannot hear me with your head stuck so far up Maeda’s rectum.</p><p> </p><p> Furusawa: SUKI, how long have you known me? How many years do you want to play these mind games with me? When have they ever worked? All you do is talk, and moan, and bitch. In the past you have said I got my world title shot by playing to the fans and sucking up to Shiga and Maeda. You are entitled to your opinion, but the fans show me support because I give my all in the ring and I am fairly sure it was my dedication and hard work that got me my World title shot against the man to your right. I never asked for that match, when I was told I had earnt that opportunity I grabbed it with both hands. But enough talking. I do my talking in the ring. You should know that as you have never beat me. </p><p> </p><p> SUKI jumps to his feet in a fit of rage, but he is quickly restrained by two burly security workers until he places a finger to his right nostril and fires a large string of mucus directed at Furusawa. Fortunately for Furusawa no amount of anger and frustration could carry it that far. Shiga was less fortunate causing all hell to break loose, now SUKI is far less urgent to get across the room as Okamoto, Maeda and one of the security workers restrain Shiga. </p><p> </p><p> SUKI pushes the security worker trying to hold him backwards a few steps and grabs a microphone off the table.</p><p> </p><p> SUKI: Do not put your hands on me. I will leave but because I choose to. Mabuchi you forget you are just a mere mortal and SUKI is wrestling divinity, an angel of death, the black canvas Shinigami and in three weeks’ time you will not be able to hide behind your friends. I am going to put you to sleep.</p><p> For good.</p><p> </p><p> SUKI walks of camera as Shiga sits back down wiping his face with a handkerchief.</p><p> </p><p> Maeda: I can only apologise. As you may have guessed, one of the big three matches I was yet to announce is Mabuchi Furusawa against SUKI. </p><p> The World Tag Team Championships will be defended against the Wild Ones. This will be Animal Harker and Big Bruiser Findlay’s first attempt to regain the titles they originally won from Noritoshi Miura and Inejiro Yoshizawa back in the summer of 2018. </p><p> Finally, The World Championship will be contested over by Razan Okamoto and Funokoshi. </p><p> We will firstly take comments from the challenger.</p><p> </p><p> Okamoto: I want to thank BCG management for this opportunity and of course all the fans for your support, I would not be in this position now without you. </p><p> I know how tough you are Funakoshi and I have nothing but respect for you. </p><p> Mentally I am focused, Physically I feel in good shape and I just hope I can stay injury free during the tour.</p><p> I feel that what I lack in size compared to Funakoshi I make up for in heart and spirit. </p><p> I hope that can give me the edge to regain the World title.</p><p> I want to be seen as the “ace” of black canvas because I love this company and to be in that position, I am sure I can help elevate it to the next level. </p><p> But to be the “ace” you must be the best and to be the best you must hold that beautiful gold belt resting in front of Funakoshi over there. </p><p> To put it simply this is my life’s dream, and I will give every last ounce of sweat in my body to achieve it.</p><p> </p><p> Funakoshi: Nice speech. </p><p> Firstly, I do not care if you respect me.</p><p> I do not care how big your heart is. </p><p> I do not care about your dreams.</p><p> And I do not care about you.</p><p> That will be evident in three weeks when I leave the ring with this “beautiful gold belt” over my shoulder and you leave it folded in half on a stretcher.</p><p> </p><p> The room falls silent as the two men stare at each other. Okamoto looks composed and determined while Funakoshi is less expressive and just looks plain mean as the broadcast comes to an end. </p><p> </p></div><p></p><p></p>

Me too. I don't see me making any drastic changes to the roster. I've only got four guys on my shortlist, two of them because I like them, and the other two I have things for them to do. I was going to start a BHOTWG diary but opted for BCG last minute instead, mostly because of the roster. I would have signed guy's like SUKI, Furusawa, Toshusai and Findlay for burning hammer but they would not have had as much focus because of the sheer size of the talent pool. Hopefully having less people to write for can help me give there characters more depth which is pretty much my main aim for this diary. Thanks! I really appreciate the feedback/complement. I am glad you enjoy the style, I want to continue with it throughout the rest of the diary, with the main bulk of entries being focused on post match comments, angles and press conferences. The tour shows will just be posted one at time most likely as I don't have a massive amount of free time to sink my teeth into this, but my goal is to keep writing consistently. They will just be results and a short description of what went down, with some post show comments and any angles having more detail. The big shows will have short match write ups and I will only have long detailed match write ups for really big shows or matches. My main aim is to give some life to the characters by letting them get across their goals while telling the stories I have planned.
