CGN91

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.

『WHITE CANVAS TROPHY SECOND ROUND RECAP』 The second round of the White Canvas Trophy was split in two shows with four tournament matches on each show. The former xDREAM man Tanyu Toshusai continued his run and beat his former stablemate KATOU to advance to the quarterfinal, which will be the furthest progress he made in a WCG tournament. Speaking of progress, Maro Shimizu took on Fujio Narahashi in the main event and shocked the WCG World Tag Team titleholder by beating him with his Figure Four Necklock to eliminate the S-1 Festival winner of this year. With Koshiro Ino and Munemitsu Senmatsu winning their matches, we have two former Burning Hammer veterans joining in the quarterfinal. Tanyu Toshusai def. KATOU Koshiro Ino def. Pavel Vanzycha Munemitsu Senmatsu def. Brandon Smith Maro Shimizu def. Fujio Narahashi Just a night later the second half of the second round saw a huge main event between former WCG World Heavyweight Champion Hitomaro Suzuki and former WCG Intercontinental Champion Motoyuki Miyake. In one of the best matches of the tournament, Miyake yet again shocked the WCG fans by kicking the living hell out of the leader of REAL BLOOD and winning the match to advance to the next round. With wins against Okamoto and now Suzuki under his belt, Miyake probably is the tournament favourite. He'll face Yasunobu Masuno in the next round, which will also be a huge match for him. In a Rogue Squad innerfight, Logan Diaz stepped his game up and beat big Animal Harker. Logan Diaz def. Animal Harker Tatsuya Toshitara def. Morimasa Kato Yasunobu Masuno def. SUKI Motoyuki Miyake def. Hitomaro Suzuki Quarterfinal Matches~! 1. Koshiro Ino vs. Maro Shimizu 2. Logan Diaz vs. Tatsuya Toshitara 3. Motoyuki Miyake vs. Yasunobu Masuno 4. Tanyu Toshusai vs. Munemitsu Senmatsu

『WHITE CANVAS TROPHY FIRST ROUND RECAP』 The annual White Canvas Trophy kicked off it's sixth edition since the creation in 2016 with quite a change: Instead of having only sixteen men competiting for the trophy, this time the numbers were doubled when thirty-two wrestler went on to win the single elimination tournament. The first eight matches kicked off the tournament in Hokkaido where we saw the main event between former friends and tag team wrestler. Fujio Narahashi, one half of the WCG World Tag Team Champions and S-1 Festival winner, met his former OWARI partner Azumamaro Kita again. Strong Pitbull was able to beat Kita in a hatred match after a string of brutal Lariato's. Narahashi promised to beat Kita's stablemate Maro Shimizu in the next round, while the latter surprised everyone in the venue by beating multiple WCG Champ Greg Gauge in a good match. Gauge's early exit from the tournament is one of the biggest surprises ever in the history of the White Canvas Trophy. Pavel Vanzycha def. Akira Arato Tanyu Toshusai def. Shogun Watoga KATOU def. Noburo Ikoma Koshiro Ino def. Taheiji Konoe Munemitsu Senmatsu def. Tadakuni Toshusai Brandon Smith def. Ernest Youngman Maro Shimizu def. Greg Gauge Fujio Narahashi def. Azumamaro Kita Night two of the White Canvas Trophy was held in Iwakuni in the Yamaguchi Prefecture in the Chugoku region. Of the remaining eight first round matches the main event stood above every match when hometown hero Razan Okamoto took on his former stablemate and protegé Motoyuki Miyake. After almost thirty minutes of having a great match it was Motoyuki Miyake who shocked the Iwakuni crowd when he hits a series of Penalty Kicks to the chest of his mentor to beat Okamoto. The crowd was dead silent, no one expected another early exit of a WCG stalwart. With a win like this Miyake rise to be one of the tournament's favourites. Animal Harker def. Shiba Mizoguchi Logan Diaz def. Findlay O'Farraday SUKI def. Kado Kamisaka Tatsuya Toshitara def. Kiyotaka Yasunobu Masuno def. Gonkuro Kamioka Morimasa Kato def. Omezo Shikitei Hitomaro Suzuki def.

ROH FINAL BATTLE 2023 SUNDAY WEEK 2, DEC' 2023 - ARLINGTON, TX Ring Of Honor's Final Battle was a quite interesting show in front of a hot crowd in Arlington, Texas. All championships were on the line and key players from AEW and ROH were in action, we saw new wrestlers and new alliances were formed. In one of the most brutal fights in Ring Of Honor History, Swerve Strickland successfully stopped Eddie Kingston in the main event of Final Battle. Kingston and Swerve battered each other brutally with several weapons of any kind, bleeding all over the ring and having a really good match. When Strickland finally put Kingston down, the ROH World Champion made sure to remind the people in the venue that he's a double champion and the best Ring Of Honor, All Elite Wrestling and even New Japan has to offer at the moment. It's the fourth match between these two ladies and it's one for the history books. Willow Nightingale made the impossible happen by defeating the most dominant ROH Women's World Champion Athena after having a year long reign with the belt. Willow wanted to shake Athena's hand so badly after the fight and ultimately the dethroned Champion answered the offer with shaking Willow's hand. The longest reigning ROH World Television Champion Samoa Joe lost the strap to Paragon's Roderick Strong after a turmoil of a match. Sure these two had a great wrestling match althought Strong relied on the help of his allies of The Kingdom when Referee Paul Turner was distracted by Matt Taven. Strong hit the End Of Heartache backbreaker to capture the title and become a third time Television Champion. Joe was furious after the match! The Elite and La Faccion Ingobernable fought for the ROH World Six Man Tag Team Championship in a faction warfare. Adam Page eventually put Preston Vance's shoulders down for three seconds to get the second defense in the books. Of course the fight wasn't over after the bell rang, Rush and Dralistico slided into the ring to attack Page. The Young Bucks made the save and left the ring when suddenly Andrade El Idolo sneaked from behind to attack "Hangman" with his El Idolo Hammerlock DDT! Andrade seemed to be still bitter about his Full Gear Title Eliminator loss against Page. We saw another two championships changed hands. The Gunns had their hands full with three other teams and the fear to lose the straps even though without getting pinned or submitted. And so the obvious happened when The Acclaimed were in the ring with Arez and pinned the mexican in the middle of the squared circle to steal the ROH World Tag Team titles off The Gunns. The ROH Pure Championship was contested between two pure wrestling stars: Katsuyori Shibata and the debuting Timothy Thatcher and to the surprise of the crowd Thatcher submitted the champ in just two minutes to made a real statement. Dalton Castle may won his match with newcomer Bryan Keith, who made his ROH debut just weeks ago at HonorClub, in a pretty decent fight. The flamboyant Peacock celebrated his win while The Righteous sneaked into the ring to attack Castle. His Boys came to help but Bryan Keith made sure that they outnumber their opponents again. After a brutal attack on Castle it seemed like we have a new alliance. ROH Final Battle 2023 - Sunday Week 2, Dec'23 Zero Hour 0. Action Andretti & Darius Martin def.

I totally agree with you that they should have pushed Willow more and missed it after her winning the Owen BUT Julia Hart is one of the few homerun success stories of the last months AEW had. Julia Hart is over and improved soooo much, it's insane. Like I said I agree at your point regarding they did nothing with Willow (who is also over with the crowd) but Julia Hart is a success for them and at least they're invested in one of their (fresh for TV) woman.

『INVASION ATTACK 2021 IN AMERICA』 – August 21th, 2021 The V. Thompson Arena (Los Angeles, Califonia, USA) [American Option, Emperor Choice, WCG Global & Aichi] Los Angeles was the main battlefield this time when White Canvas Grappling held their first ever show in California with wrestler from Total Championship Wrestling and White Canvas Grappling Of America also having matches on the matchcard. WCG World Heavyweight Champion Bunrakuken Torii and his longtime rival Hitomaro Suzuki had their third meeting this year and for the second time "Machine Gun" came up with the victory over "Genius". These two fought over thirty-five minutes in a classic match which let the fans at the V. Thompson Arena erupted. Torii took Suzuki's head off with a Lariat and finished him up with the Spinning Forearm Smash to overcame the leader of REAL BLOOD. The Champion tried to shake Suzuki's hand but the latter snubbed Torii off and left the ring. Suzuki has one more chance to get his title back when he wins the upcoming White Canvas Trophy. Total Championship Wrestling's World Championship was on the line in the semi main event between Champ Aaron Andrews and former Champ Wolf Hawkins. The two arch rivals battered each other with everything they had in their tank and the, mostly WCG fans, were absolutely pleased with their performance. "Ace" Andrews successfully defended the title in front of his hometown crowd. Two titles changed hands this night to two japanese stars. The WCG United States Heavyweight Champion Ernest Youngman failed to defend "his" title against former WCG World Heavyweight title challenger and Golden Canvas Grappling legend Hiroyasu Gakusha. The 3rd WCG American Openweight Champion Nelson Callum was dethroned by former WCG US Heavyweight Champion Yasunobu Masuno to crown himself to the face of WCG Of America. Masuno told the crowd he'll defend the title in Japan to make it the most important american title in the company. Results~! 1. Devil May Care (Acid II & Stuntman ) def.
