Oh jesus yes he was in the Proving Grounds match, big sorry here pal! Looking forward to the next show.

Love the roster so far (some big[ger] names here and I would love to see some lesser known guys here like for example Jota, Keita Yano or Takahiro Tababa), surprised that I don't see Ironhead Fujita and Hikaru Sato around here though. The first show was pretty decent! Keep it up. Shibata Pancrase Death Squad (althought I am an Astronauts stan) Baby Hash Maeguchi Tanaka Ishikawa Low Ki

I messaged you on discord as well but I really like the mod. I played it last weekend and I loved it.

2nd year: Sengoku Project Pro Wrestling by Shuji Ishikawa [Real World, 2025/26] We increased the number of shows from 19 to 27, switched from Zaiko to the famous Niconico subscription service, held shows in Sendai, Hiroshima and Hokkaido for the first time and even held our first singles tournament this year. We've got some name value for our shows, guys who quit their home promotions like Suwama, Takashi Sugiura, Tomohiro Ishii and even Kota Ibushi, who just worked two matches for us so far (I treat him as a special attraction) because he was too busy to work for Gatoh Move and more importantly working Choco Pro to wrestle on pillows. To be fair all of them are in time decline and aren't workhorses anymore, with Ibushi being the most dissapointing one with an in-ring performance rating of 50 and 45 in both of his matches against Takuya Nomura. Update factions: Second Anniversary~! In front of a record breaking crowd at the Yoyogi National Gymnasium #2 in Shibuya, Tokyo (and most viewership on the screens too) the fans saw a good show with some special moments. Takuya Nomura avenged his loss from summer against Kota Ibushi, who had yet another underwhelming performance for us. Could be his last though. The junior heavyweight titles were both defended in a rematch of last year Anniversary when Fujita Hayato defeated El Desperado to "unify" both titles to a Sengoku Junior Double Crown. The titles will be defended simutaneously like the ZERO-1 titles. During the celebration Hayato was attacked by former Dragongate wrestlers YAMATO and Madoka Kikuta! In the main event Sengoku Heavyweight Champion and Idaina Senshi winner Daisuke Sekimoto defeated former NJPW star Tomohiro Ishii and defended the title for the second time after dethroning Naoya Nomura in October. While the main event was slightly better than last years match, this one was also a bit underwhelming with Ishii heavily hitting time decline. Just a month prior to Anniversary we held Kakuto Vol. 1, a shoot-style subsidiary show. We'll held Kakuto a couple of times a year, this will always be non-canon to the other Sengoku shows. We had a couple of guests to this show like Super Tiger, Mitsuya Nagai and Kazuyuki Fujita, all having legit backgrounds. Takanori Ito was signed after the show, he quit GLEAT just two months earlier. Update Top 10 matches:

Sengoku Project Pro Wrestling by Shuji Ishikawa [Real World, 2024/25] Shuji Ishikawa left All Japan Pro Wrestling at the end of January alongside Black Menso~re aka Yohei Nakajima and looked for a new home. He had several chats with different people but ultimately he came to one conclusion: Create a promotion. Sengoku Project Pro Wrestling was born and the launch event (Hataage) was set for February 17th, 2024 at Shin-Kiba 1st RING in Tokyo. At the first press conference Ishikawa was accompanied by Black Menso~re (Vice President) and the first contracted wrestlers Kohei Sato, Masayuki Mitomi, ZONES & Chi Chi. We've had 19 shows in one year, we've got two championships, two factions so far and some hurtful leavings. Freelancer Seiki Yoshioka would have been a focal point of a first big junior heavyweight title program with also freelancing Koji Iwamoto, Yoshioka even won the first Junior tournament to win the Independent Junior Heavyweight Championship against the aforementioned Iwamoto. And just three months into his reign he signed an exclusive contract with NOAH, just like Shigehiro Irie but he only made four appereances. The most hurtful leaving was Fuminori Abe. We featured the Astronauts stars heavily since the start of the promotion and Abe would have been a big star down the line, he signed an exclusive contract with New Japan (!) and made his very last appereance with us in January against his friend and partner Takuya Nomura which would become the best match in the short history of the promotion. The factions: The first anniversary was a historical event, not only because of the anniversary itself but also it marked our first Korakuen Hall visit as well as being on Samurai! TV for the first time. Attentive people (and fans of Puro) may already see names like El Desperado or Dragongate young boy Ryoya Tanaka on the card and yes both of them quit NJPW respective DG and I signed both to a handshake deal. Desperado only had one appereance before this show alongside Yoshinobu Kanemaru (who also quit NJPW) where they lost to the Astronauts. Kanemaru retired just a months after the debut match though. In the main event we crowned our second Sengoku Heavyweight Champion when Naoya Nomura took the title of Takuya Nomura in a underwhelming match due to a little injury. Nevertheless this was good show with crowning a new champ, a special singles match between Despy and Fujita Hayato Jr., a junior title match where the new leader of the REAL KILLERZ wanted to bring the title back to the faction and a special tag match between Yankee Two Kenju and Hikaru Sato & Hideki Suzuki of the Kenka Gundan. And here are our Top 10 fights:

The tensions between Kazuo Yamazaki and Gary Albright are as high as ever. Althought Albright tossed his opponents around in the ring, he wasn't able to knock them out on tonight's show. Other than Yamazaki who shook Albright's partner Mark Fleming, who couldn't get on his legs again. The referee called for the bell and declared Yoji Anjo and Kazuo Yamazaki as the winners. A feel good moment for Yamazaki just before the potential singles match with Gary Albright. Kiyoshi Tamura is on a roll recently. After last months win against Jim Boss, he then moved on to knock out the debuting Ray Lloyd in icecold fashion. Althought Lloyd is much heavier than Tamura, the latter were very fast on his legs and with his takedowns to not give Lloyd any chance to breathe. 『UWF-I Sekai Gannen II』- February 15th, 1992 Korakuen Hall (Tokyo, Japan) 1. Hiromitsu Kanehara vs. Masakazu Maeda - Time Limit Draw (15:00) 2. Tatsuo Nakano def. JT Southern (5:51) 3. Yuko Miyato def. Tom Burton (7:34) 4. Kiyoshi Tamura & Masahito Kakihara def. Jim Boss & Ray Lloyd via KO (16:41) 5. Kazuo Yamazaki & Yoji Anjo def. Gary Albright & Mark Fleming via TKO (16:57)

The UWF-I Japan team was successful against Team USA in last months mini tournament, althought Nobuhiko Takada missed the show due to an injury. Also this months Takada will be unable to compete due to the very same injury he received last month in training, the good news is that Takada announced his return for march. In January Kiyoshi Tamura as well as Kazuo Yamazaki demanded matches with another american and on Yamazaki's side a singles match against Gary Albright. However the singles match wasn't approved yet but Yamazaki will have his chance to get his hands on Albright in a tag team bout. 『UWF-I Sekai Gannen II』- February 15th, 1992 Korakuen Hall (Tokyo, Japan) 1. Hiromitsu Kanehara vs. Masakazu Maeda 2. Tatsuo Nakano vs. JT Southern 3. Yuko Miyato vs. Tom Burton 4. Kiyoshi Tamura & Masahito Kakihara vs. Jim Boss & Ray Lloyd 5.

The first UWF-I of the year was held in front of a packed Korakuen Hall under the motto of "Japan Vs. USA" - Five bouts between american and japanese combattants were highly anticipated by the fans inside the legendary venue. Althought the show began with yet another outing of two young boys who fought to another time limit draw in the opener. Since his arrival Gary Albright has been undefeated, has been the most dominant force in the UWF-I and alongside olympian Ken Patera it was no different. Sure Yamazaki knew that targeting Patera, who never worked in the UWF-I before, with strikes could be a big key to victory, but since Albright got into the squared circle and Patera's ring rust was gone, the american team was on the winning street. Albright knocked Nakano out with a german suplex for the win. Afterwards Yamazaki was upset and challenged Albright to a singles match, which the latter accepted. Yamazaki desperately wants to hand Albright his first loss in UWF-I. With three victories in singles competition, Japan won the "mini tournament" when Kiyoshi Tamura stopped World Championship Wrestling's Jim Boss after nine and a half minutes. The 22-year-old homegrown fighter demanded another american fighter for next month show to go one on one with him. 『UWF-I Sekai Gannen』- January 9th, 1992 Korakuen Hall (Tokyo, Japan) 1. Hiromitsu Kanehara vs. Masakazu Maeda - Time Limit Draw (15:00) 2. Japan vs. USA I: Masahito Kakihara def. JT Southern (6:39) 3. Japan vs. USA II: Mark Fleming def. Yuko Miyato (7:11) 4. Japan vs. USA III: Yoji Anjo def. Tom Burton (10:24) 5. Japan vs. USA IV: Kiyoshi Tamura def. Jim Boss (9:23) 6. Japan vs. USA V: Gary Albright & Ken Patera def. Kazuo Yamazaki & Tatsuo Nakano (17:41)

The UWF-I kicks off the new year with a show at the legendary Korakuen Hall. Under the motto of "Japan Vs. USA" five fights will be a battle between nations: JT Southern, Mark Fleming, Tom Burton, Jim Boss, Gary Albright and former olympian Ken Patera will raise the stars & stripes at Korakuen against the UWF-I roster. Nobuhiko Takada is unable to compete due to a minor injury, however he'll be in attendance to support his countrymates. 『UWF-I Sekai Gannen』- January 9th, 1992 Korakuen Hall (Tokyo, Japan) 1.

After the demise of the Universal Wrestling Federation in 1990, the wrestlers in that group split up and went on their own paths. Some of them followed Akira Maeda to his newly created group RINGS, others like Yoshiaki Fujiwara formed Pro Wrestling Fujiwara-Gumi while the rest were lead by Nobuhiko Takada and Kazuo Yamazaki who formed Union Of Professional Wrestling Force International - The UWF-I was born. But what is UWF-I? The UWF-I is a shoot-style promotion. Shoot-style is a genre of professional wrestling that involves matches to look as real as possible. The wrestlers use legitimate looking submissions and strikes, similar to what they look like in a real MMA fight. The fights are hard-hitting and are thrilling to watch for fans around the world. The rules of UWF-I are the key to understand the promotion: ~ Fighters start with 15 points each (tag matches 21). Points would be lost for knockout attempts, being at a disadvantage during a hold, breaking a hold by reaching into the ropes with hand(s) and/or feet. ~ When a fighter throws a suplex with intent to knock his opponent out, a point will be deducted from their opponent. They lose also a point if a fighter commited a foul or using a rope break. Fighters will lose three points when they are knocked down from strikes with a ten count administered. ~ The only way to win a match in UWF-I is by knockout (count of 10), submission or a fighter's points being reduced to 0. The referee and/or a doctor are allowed to end a fight as well due to a stoppage.

SOON...

Thank you for the love @The Blonde Bomber I'll be back. I've made some plans to do a new diary in the next weeks, so stay tuned.

Good news: I've got my license key back and can use TEW again. Bad news: ALL my saves are gone due to the hard drive crash, WCG included. This is hands down the most heartbreaking loss I've had in my gaming history since I played this particular save since TEW 16, converted it into TEW 20 and played it further into the years. 😭 I thank each and everyone of you for contributing to both threads throughout the years!!! Yes Miyake would have won the final but he would have lost the big title match against Bunrakuken Torii though. The plan was that Torii vs. Razan Okamoto would have been booked at the big Anniversary show on January 4th where Torii defended the championship yet again to break Okamoto's title defense record to set a new record of ten defensens in one reign. Torii would have lost the title in February 2022 in Sapporo to someone I wasn't sure yet. Okamoto would have won the S-1 Festival in March for the first time in his career (!) , the big titlematch in Chiyoda in May would have set Okamoto's third reign as the WCG World Heavyweight Champion! To write down the few plans I'm having in my mind right now are hurting to be honest. This was a big project for me and I think for a few readers as few over the years. Thank y'all!

Update The hard drive arrived today. So far so good. I can't attach the broken hard drive to convert the game and the saves as well. I'll try my best to get it fixed asap but it could be over for my 2016 to 2020 converted WCG save...😭

UPDATE My hard drive died today. It was the hard drive where I had TEW and the save games on, so I'll try to convert the save games (and TEW itself) to the new hard drive when it arrives after christmas.

Thanks for your constant feedback mate Indeed it was a bit rushed since the schedule was a bit too packed this year and Senmatsu (just a minor injury) won't be fit until the final day, so I looked around and I felt like replacing Ino (and Senmatsu then lol) with someone who wasn't in the tournament. Not gonna lie but random injuries and stuff like this is what makes a promotion more realistic and fun. I mean to get a headache after booking this turmoil was quite fun lol

『WHITE CANVAS TROPHY FINAL IS OFF!』 The final of the 6th White Canvas Trophy is off due to an occured injury of finalist Koshiro Ino. WCG President Junnosuke Fukazawa announced that "The Kobra" won't be able to compete against Motoyuki Miyake for the White Canvas Trophy. „This isn't what we want to see, we want to see a final contest between two great athletes. As a company we're thrilled to give the fans the best matches, but this time we need to do something else.“, Fukazawa said at the press conference. Motoyuki Miyake, the other finalist, wasn't happy with the whole situation: „No this is something I don't want to do. I'm not accepting to get the trophy via forfeit, I want to fight someone one on one.“ Just in time someone made his way to the press conference room and immediatly attacked Miyake from behind with a leather strap: Matthew Keith! The brother of Greg Gauge wasn't included in the tournament and wasn't seen in WCG since a six man tag team match at Survivor Battle in August where Keith faced the trio of KATOU, Hiroyasu Gakusha and of course Motoyuki Miyake. The two had some issues with one another and it seemed like the match is set!

『WHITE CANVAS TROPHY SEMIFINAL RECAP』 The final of the 6th White Canvas Trophy is set with two finalists who couldn't be more the opposite than the other. On one side of the bracket 23-year-veteran Koshiro Ino was able to let brave Munemitsu Senmatsu tap out to his Kobra's Bite for going straight into his first tournament final since joining White Canvas Grappling in 2018. Ino just recently lost the RISE Openweight Championship to Heihachiro Sakai in July is desperately to get a success out of this tournament. Koshiro Ino def. Munemitsu Senmatsu The other semifinal saw a young and upcoming wrestler being successful when Motoyuki Miyake scored a pinfall victory over Tatsuya Toshitara to book his place in the final. Miyake, just 26 year old and a six year into his pro-wrestling career, is determined to win the White Canvas Trophy and to become a World Champion down the line. The pupil of the legendary Mito Miwa is making waves since joining the "White Rhino" in 2016, winning the inaugral RISE Openweight Championship, the S-1 Tag League alongside KATOU in 2019 and more notable the WCG Intercontinental title in 2020. Motoyuki Miyake def. Tatsuya Toshitara Miyake and Ino met twice in the last year, both matches were during the S-1 Festival. In 2020 Miyake pinned Ino while the latter got revenge this year and has beaten Miyake to get two important points. Who will it be? Koshiro Ino or Motoyuki Miyake?

『WHITE CANVAS TROPHY QUARTERFINAL RECAP』 The fairytale of Motoyuki Miyake is still alive! After defeating two former WCG World Heavyweights Champions in a row with Razan Okamoto and Hitomaro Suzuki, Miyake overcame big Yasunobu Masuno in the main event of night number five. Miyake's dangerous penalty kick was the key to victory once again as Masuno ate two of them in the course of the match. Miyake's opponent in the next round will also be a former Burning Hammer contracted wrestler with Tatsuya Toshitara. "Double T" was able to defeat Rogue Squad's Logan Diaz and crushed Diaz' dream of stepping into his uncle's footsteps of being a champion in Japan. Munemitsu Senmatsu def. Tanyu Toshusai Koshiro Ino def. Maro Shimizu Tatsuya Toshitara def. Logan Diaz Motoyuki Miyake def. Yasunobu Masuno The other semifinal was completed with Koshiro Ino and Munemitsu Senmatsu. While Ino has beaten Maro Shimizu, who was also on a big run such as Miyake, Senmatsu had his hands full with Tanyu Toshusai, who alligned himself with REAL BLOOD after the demise of xDREAM. Since then Toshusai showed a more reckless attitude which got him a few wins under his belt, however this time Senmatsu was a step too far for him. Semifinal Matches~! 1. Koshiro Ino vs. Munemitsu Senmatsu 2. Motoyuki Miyake vs. Tatsuya Toshitara

This save is crooked. I don't know why I have constantly problems with it. Hope to fix it later, if not this is unfortunately done.
