Hello everybody and welcome to my new dynasty. ROH won the poll I was doing but after some thinking, I believe I wouldn't be able to do ROH much justice, mainly as I wasn't too familiar with the ROH product back in '06. I will be posting my A-Show and PPV's mainly with bits in-between (Like what's happening at the WWE, new signings for us and the WWE) My first major update will be at Final Resolution, the January 2006 PPV. Following that, It'll be every A-Show (but they won't be as detailed as the PPV write-ups probably) I hope you all enjoy this diary!

Two Days Later

Hey everyone. I have been really busy with university that unfortunately my Riki and Maeda Tale dynasty suddenly went inactive. I enjoyed writing it and had always planned to come back to it, unfortunately, my save is corrupt so I will be starting a new dynasty which I plan to keep updated every week or two. Here are the choices which you are free to vote for. Alternatively, if anyone would like to see the Riki and Maeda Tale return, I do not have an issue in simply re-booking what I have done and then continuing.

Oh, nice! Thank you to everybody that voted for my diary I'll be sure to make the diary even better as time goes on. EDIT: Congratulations to all the other nominees and winners too!

Is there anybody who could possibly create me a few logo and banner ideas that I have in mind? I'm not that good at that side of the creative stuff so any help would be appreciated! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

I and Akira spoke about pitting Pegasus Kid against Guerrero but we decided to hold off on that for another time. Anyway, these eleven minutes of action was quite the technical masterclass. The mat classic Malenkos controlled the ring pretty much entirely the whole match-up, with Dean Malenko once again outperforming the others. I was impressed with Pegasus Kid too, showing he can switch it up to work a high flying style to a technical one just like that. I see a bright future for that kid. In the end, though, The Malenkos were once again victorious after the newly debutee Shinji Sasazaki submitted to Dean Malenkos signature Texas Cloverleaf. An exceptional match that pleased me and the rest of the boys, but Akira noted to me that Shinji seriously struggled to keep up with everyone else in the ring. I acknowledged this also, but we both still see the potential in him.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>61, C</strong></p></div><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Isao Takagi vs. Tom Magee</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="K6bGQrH.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/K6bGQrH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="bv9YJP2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bv9YJP2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="iH8a6oM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/iH8a6oM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Isao Takagi and Tom Magee may be two legitimate athletes but they still have a long way to go here in the world of professional wrestling. This match though shown their potential in this business and had a bout which featured some decent wrestling. It actually garnered some great heat too. Good to see Isao Takagi is developing a persona in the ring already and proving to be a natural heel. Tom Magee definitely was the worst in the ring between the two but shown improvement from his last match but is still pretty sloppy. We gave these guys about 10 minutes to get in all their moves. In the end, Isao Takagi drilled Magee with the Arashi Driller to get his second victory here in Tokyo Pro Wrestling as Magee continues to search for his first victory. I, of course, wanted to put Magee over but Akira was completely against it, still believing Magee needs to prove himself first and get better. Something which Magee agreed with himself.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>35, E+</strong></p></div><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Eddie Guerrero vs. The Yellow Dog</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="9IDWS37.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9IDWS37.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="bv9YJP2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bv9YJP2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5LcGrL3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5LcGrL3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The next match on the card featured Eddie Guerrero taking on The Yellow Dog. Similar to his match against Pegasus Kid last month, I instructed Eddie Guerrero to go out and there and steal the show with The Yellow Dog and boy did they both deliver. In this 16 minute match, both men went all in but surprisingly Guerrero somewhat informed and seemed visibly tired towards the end. But I guess that's what is to be expected when you constantly have to travel from Japan, Mexico, and The United States. To finish the bout, Guerrero amazed the fans with a beautiful Frog Splash from the top turnbuckle. The Yellow Dog was the best of the two here but I know on any other day, Guerrero can perform way better than he did tonight.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>53, C-</strong></p></div><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Riki Choshu vs. Katayama</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="EwamFm1.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/EwamFm1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="bv9YJP2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bv9YJP2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="LWs8K4i.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LWs8K4i.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> It was time for me to step in the ring with Akira Katayama. Akira Maeda decided it was best for Katayama to wrestle simply under his surname to uh, avoid 'confusion.' I see a lot of potential in him so I opted to be his first ever pro wrestling opponent. For someone so arrogant backstage, he sure as hell as a lot to learn. I carried the match in-terms of in-ring performances but I managed to get a good match out of him. Unfortunately, I suffered a minor head injury after a mistimed Yakuza Kick from Katayama. I'll be alright by the time our next event comes around. I had to problem with him for his error, but he seemed a bit beaten up by it after the match. I mean, I guess that's a natural way to feel right? I am his boss after all. I finished him off in this match with my signature Scorpion Deathlock. I put over Kazuo Yamazaki at the first show, but Katayama doesn't deserve that treatment.

This match was certainly match of the night! It was intense! it was back and forth! It helped showcase the wrestling here in Tokyo Pro and I'm proud of them both. Akira was definitely right though, putting the world title on him was best for business. For now, anyway. Kazuo held his own against Akira Maeda too but in the end, It was Akira's capture suplex that finished things off and won him the match. It's definitely not the last time we will see these two against each other, as Akira and I agreed that this feud should be the main focus in year one of Tokyo Pro.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>75, B-</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="ibwqZIw.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ibwqZIw.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Mf0cNNe.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Mf0cNNe.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="OxAOM3h.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/OxAOM3h.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> After the match, two men in masks rushed to the ring and started beating down on Kazuo Yamazaki!

They faced Akira Maeda looking as if they were going to attack him but they all started celebrating together! Akira Maeda then got onto a microphone; <em>"We are Tokyo's finest.

We didn't go too fancy on the name of the event. Just something that stood out. 'The Next One.' We added two new signings as well. Rocky Hata and Umanosuke Ueda. I wasn't planning for them to sign for us but they have decided to balance their time between us and All-Japan.

Patiently waiting for the 8th of April to hit. I was raring to go on our next show. I and Akira agreed to sign just one more person, for now, to avoid going into the red. This person is named Akira Katayama who graduated from New Japan dojo but opted not to sign him. Well if they don't want to give him a chance, guess we will. But honestly, it'll most likely be the one who will put me in the red, deciding to pay himself 34k a month now from our expenses... One of our last signings, Shinji Sasazaki had surprisingly left All-Japan to just work with us exclusively. I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do for us. Mr. Hito and our referee Go Ito would often attend both New Japan and All Japan shows respectively just to keep an eye on anything major that may have happened. They both hosted some great events I've been told, with only some of there tour shows being average at best. Kendo Nagasaki and Mr. Pogo have dropped the IWGP Tag titles already though, to Steve Williams and.. Antonio Inoki. No title changes over in All-Japan at the moment though. But Mr. Hito told me that a match featuring DiBiase and Hansen defending the PWF Tag titles against Tiger Mask II and Dory Funk is already being called one of the greatest wrestling matches of all time.</p><p> </p><p> I recently flew over to the states too to see what this big deal known as 'Wrestlemania' was about. I was familiar with sith of the names on the card, mainly Itsuki Yamazaki who got a win over Leilani Kai on the night. The card was pretty average if I do say so myself. But the main event featuring Andre The Giant defeated Roddy Piper to defend his world title was certainly a much better match than I expected.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="GYvpARE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GYvpARE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Possibly the most fantastic wrestling spectacle to grace the United States! 93, 173 people packed in the Pontiac Silverdome to see if Roddy Piper could dethrone the giant and finally take home the WWF World Heavyweight Championship.

Certainly not as nervous as I was when organizing the first event, but I'm already confident we'll be able to surpass what our first event has done.</p><p> </p><p> I've recently just caught my eye on an article about our very own Tom Magee too which will surely (hopefully!) help increase attendance at our next event.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="GYvpARE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GYvpARE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Is Tom Magee on the rise?

I take a deep breath, it's time for the new beginning. </em></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="n7fIhLW.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/n7fIhLW.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>9th of March 1987</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>From the SPWF Dojo in Chiba, Japan</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Attendance: 63</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Riki Choshu vs. Kazuo Yamazaki</strong></p><p> <img alt="EwamFm1.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/EwamFm1.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="bv9YJP2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bv9YJP2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="j4lMT2T.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/j4lMT2T.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The first ever match in Tokyo Pro Wrestling history had begun. Myself against Kazuo Yamazaki. I think the crowd (albeit, a very small crowd) were happy to see recognizable names to get this show started. The action was strong and intense, just the thing us here at TPW was looking to do to continue to make wrestling look like a legitimate sport, especially after the recent Tiger Mask scandal. Neither of us seemed off our game and I'm sure the fans ate up the fact that Kazuo Yamazaki was an MMA badass. I think to many peoples surprises, I put Yamazaki over, with the match ending just after fifteen minutes with a Crucifix Armbar.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>77, B</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Isao Takagi vs. Vic Steamboat</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="K6bGQrH.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/K6bGQrH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="bv9YJP2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bv9YJP2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="6moOouc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/6moOouc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The second match on the card pitted former sumo wrestler Isao Takagi taking on the considerably smaller Vic Steamboat. This match was the shortest match on the debut event but still had decent wrestling. Takagi certainly impressed, making the transition from sumo to professional wrestling well, and Vic Steamboat at times shown moments of his half brother, Ricky. But he still has a long way to go. This intense match ended with a beautiful Arashi Driver from Isao Takagi to put this one to rest.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>33, E+</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p></div></blockquote> <p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Eddie Guerrero vs. Pegasus Kid</strong></p><p> <img alt="9IDWS37.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9IDWS37.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="bv9YJP2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bv9YJP2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="cdcnRXu.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/cdcnRXu.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Before this match, I told both of these youngsters to just go out and steal the show and oh, boy they did just that! The match had a lot of back and forth action and both men showed great athleticism. At one point Pegasus Kid got to the top rope and attempted a diving headbutt but Eddie Guerrero rolled out the way so Pegasus Kids head went right into the canvas which made me flinch up backstage. Thankfully after the match, he was fine but that kid needs to be careful, I don't want a gifted talent like himself damaging his head. Guerrero failed to capitalize off Pegasus Kids miss though. Despite locking in a figure-four lock, Pegasus Kid managed to escape and eventually hit Guerrero with three dragon suplexes in a row which surely finished Guerrero off! A victory for Pegasus Kid on the debut show here at Tokyo Pro Wrestling.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>63, C</strong></p></div><p></p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Dean & Joe Malenko vs. Ninja Warrior & Yellow Dog</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="o9Kf4F9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/o9Kf4F9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="kjYjs3d.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kjYjs3d.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="bv9YJP2.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bv9YJP2.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="j3fsJYr.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/j3fsJYr.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5LcGrL3.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5LcGrL3.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> The Semi-Main event featured over 20 minutes of tag action.

This match was my favorite of the night which is saying something considering what I had seen between Eddie and Pegasus Kid but this amazing tag team mix of mat based wrestling from The Malenkos against the fast-paced, high flying action of Ninja Warrior and The Yellow Dog was tremendous. Ninja Warrior definitely was the weak link though and at times you could see he was struggling to keep up with everyone else in this match. In the end, Dean Malenko forced Ninja Warrior down and made him tap to the Texas Cloverleaf.</p><p> </p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>58, C-</strong></p></div><p></p><p> </p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="iH8a6oM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/iH8a6oM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> Before the main event 'Mega-Man' Tom Magee made his way to the ring to speak to those in attendance at the show.</p><p> </p><p> <strong>"I would like to thank everyone who came tonight to celebrate the birth of TPW with us.

I can't wait to find out to just how far these two Japanese icons can take this new promotion. Rumour has it they're already looking for new talent to bring this new company forward.

Probably no surprise on how that news broke out when I'm dealing with a loudmouth like Akira... The past few days have been busy, with around 250,000 dollars at our disposal myself and Akira got busy and started bringing in new talent for our new promotion. Problem was, however, a lot of the Japanese talent were already grabbed up by All Japan and New Japan. We just patiently waited to hear back from the names we had contacted in the hopes of getting this company ready to run its first event. With Tom Magee, all signed up and ready, I am hoping to prove his true worth and make him our first world champion. Maeda is against that idea so far but... I'm sure he'll come around.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Tuesday, March 3rd, 1987</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Maeda throws today's edition of the Asahi Shimbun across the room angrily. </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><em>"That is a disgrace."</em><p> </p><p> <em>"What's up?"</em> I ask as I pick up the newspaper off the ground and see for myself. <em>"Oh..."</em></p><p> </p><p> <em>"That son of a bitch is trying to ruin our industry, Riki!"</em></p><p> </p><p> <em>"I know, I know...

If kayfabe isn't dead already it'll sure be in its dying days now... Gee, sure picked a good time to get started with my own promotion.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> In other news today, New Japan got started on there newest tour. I didn't attend the show but I heard it was nothing special. The only thing worthwhile to note I guess was Mr Pogo and Kendo Nagasaki winning the IWGP Tag team titles. Good job.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Wednesday, March 4th, 1987</span></strong> </p><p> </p><p> No good news on any signings yet. I heard from Umanosuke Ueda and Rocky Hata though, two of the names we were looking to bring in... They've had some interest from All Japan. Don't see them coming to us anytime soon then. Maeda was furious! We signed our official referee though for our events, a young ref named Go Ito. A fairly good referee who'll surely do well here.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Thursday, March 5th, 1987</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Much better news for myself, Maeda and Tokyo Pro Wrestling today! We've managed to secure a few Gajin names to join us. The lack of Japanese talent for us to get our hands on is a shame but I'm happy with these pick-ups. Vic Steamboat is the first of the signings, the half brother of Ricky. He may not be as talented as his brother but he is still a fairly decent worker. I'm looking to see how he does for us. The next signings were two brothers Joe and Dean Malenko. Maeda has seen these two work before and believes their top mat work would fit right in with what we're trying to do here. The next signing was a young Mexican wrestler who goes by the name of 'Stuka.' Maeda said it may be a good idea to keep a mask on him and change his name with something with more of a... Asian twist to it. Wouldn't hurt for the fans to believe we have more Japanese talent then we actually have. I wanted to have a sit down with him to really go through our options. But unfortunately, Maeda decided to go ahead and do it without me, assigning the name 'Ninja Warrior' to Stuka. Not the name I would've chosen but, meh. The last signing we made today was a young man from Canada by the name of Brian Pillman. A gifted talent who fell right into our hands. Maeda and I decided to put Pillman under a mask too. He'll be working as 'The Yellow Dog' for the time being. Successful day for us here at Tokyo Pro Wrestling!</p><p> </p><p> New Japan ran another show today too on their tour. I heard Masa Saito defeated Masahiro Chono to crown the first IWGP Heavyweight champion. I bet Chono wasn't too happy with that. Maeda is confident that if he was still at the promotion he would be the one being crowned the first champion instead. Yeah right.</p><p> </p><p> <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Friday, March 6th, 1987</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> I and Maeda eventually agreed we may need some extra help running things around here, but with a lot of bridges burnt we weren't sure who to turn to. Tom Magee was actually the one to recommend Mr Hito who he once met when training at the dungeon. Hito flew over to Tokyo today and agreed to work alongside us. Today we also managed to bring in some more talent. Starting with Isao Takagi. A former sumo wrestler looking to get started in wrestling. We were more than happy to give him that opportunity here. Along with Takagi we brought in two other gifted young workers who won't be sticking around for long but will surely make a good impact in their short time. A young man named Chris Benoit and his friend, Eddie Guerrero of the famous Guerrero family. I was more than happy to let both of them compete without masks but Benoit opted to wrestle under his mask persona, Pegasus Kid. We proudly confirmed a date for our first ever event too! Monday, 9th of March, Tokyo Pro Wrestling will debut a New Beginning. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, but I sure am looking forward to it.</p><p> </p><p> Go Ito attended All Japans recent show too and informed us what went on. He said it was a pretty boring show with the only highlight being Kakuryu defeating DiBiase & Hansen to retain their NWA International Tag belts. He also noted that despite his age, Billy Robinson is still impressive.</p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="46576" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="GYvpARE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GYvpARE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <em>In Bizzare news today, Yoshiaki Yatsu has been attempting to compete in the upcoming Olympic Games.

The next signing is Shinji Sasazaki. He may have a great look to him but his in-ring work could do with some improvements. He sure as hell was athletic though.

<p>Welcome all, to my new dynasty idea, <strong>The Riki & Maeda Tale: The Mega-Man Project.</strong> A local to global journal about taking over AJPW and NJPW as the #1 Fed in Japan and uh, making 'Mega-Man' Tom Magee a star in the process!</p><p> </p><p> I'm not familiar with too much about wrestling in Japan in the 80s so this should be fun! One thing I'm aware of Riki and Maeda was not in fact friends, at least during this period so, I guess this is a little look if they both put egos aside and worked together? Who knows, we may get a little power struggle between the two at some point... </p><p> </p><p> I hope you all stay tuned and enjoy, this is something I am very much looking forward to writing. I will also be using the Superfly Effect Mod for this.</p>

Tokyo, Japan, January 1987. I slammed down the phone and took a sip of my whiskey. Neat. I then picked up a pen and crossed a line through yet another promotion I wouldn't be working for again. No way am I earning money for that jackass Inoki a second longer! Giant Baba had given me his blessing for a return to All Japan, but I thought it would be best for both of us if I didn't. It wasn't long before I was visited by a friend of mine, Akira Maeda. Maeda himself had a falling out with Inoki just as I did and he too didn't want to go to All Japan so he proposed an idea. Over the next two months, I and Maeda started the planning for our very own wrestling promotion. It took us a while just for us to agree on a name, finally settling on Tokyo Pro Wrestling. We then started to scout a few young and upcoming local Japanese wrestlers who had not yet been swooped up by the powerhouses of AJPW and NJPW. We knew we had to keep our roster small to start with to avoid going under early, agreeing for one of us to act as a road agent for each match and limiting ourselves to one referee for each show. We only planned to run one show a month for now anyway, just to get started. I didn't want to just work with Japanese talent though. I was determined to bring in a gaijin. Maeda was originally against it but after personally vouching for a gaijin I had worked with once he finally came around.

Considering starting my own thread for this save.</p><p> </p><p> A few good matches planned around this NO DQ ppv such as:</p><p> </p><p> - Stan Hansen vs. Kerry Von Erich in a Texas Bull Rope match for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship</p><p> </p><p> - Harley Race vs. Andre The Giant</p><p> </p><p> - Honky Tonk Man & Greg Valentine vs. Jake Roberts & Roddy Piper</p><p> </p><p> And many more...</p>

<p><strong>Playing the Superfly Effect mod as WWF:</strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Saturday, 4th Week of April 1987, Saturday Night's Main Event X:</strong></p><p> </p><p> WWF Commissioner Jack Tunney opens up the PPV by announcing the 10th anniversary of Saturday Night's Main Event will feature a star-studded main event as WWF World Heavyweight Champion Kerry Von Erich teams up with his brother Kevin in a bout against Harley Race and Paul Orndorff. Tunney also announces the much-awaited Wrestlemania III rematch between Randy Savage and Ricky Steamboat to kick off the show! <strong>(77, B)</strong></p><p> </p><p> The opening marquee match-up between Ricky Steamboat and Randy Savage proves to be as exciting as their bout at Wrestlemania III! In a back and forth bout that went over 20 minutes, Randy Savage once again came out on top, defeating the dragon to retain his WWF Intercontinental Championship. <strong>(85, B+)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Post-Match in an interview with Mean Gene, Randy Savage once again throws a warning out to Kerry Von Erich that it's only a matter of time that they square off for the WWF World Heavyweight Championship. <strong>(96, A*)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Back in the ring, the newest wrestler on the WWF roster, Larry Cameron, continues to proclaim himself as the 'baddest man on the Planet' and taunts his last two opponents, Jim Brunzell and Corporal Kirchner. Cameron dares someone backstage to come out here and try to shut him up. After a moment of brief silence, Junkyard Dogs music hits and the fans go crazy. JYD accepts the challenge. <strong>(53, C-)</strong></p><p> </p><p> To nobodies surprise, Junkyard Dog quickly takes the offence and surely looks like he will be the man to shut Larry Cameron up, however, around eight minutes into the match Larry Cameron surprises JYD with a quick roll up, earning him the pinfall victory. <strong>(60, C)</strong></p><p> </p><p> We then jump straight into our next match, the first ever WWF Television Champion Jim Duggan looks to make another successful title defence, this time against Butch Reed who is coming off a Wrestlemania victory against Koko. B Ware. However, Duggan is a much bigger opponent. Despite some good offence Reed struggles to get a clear advantage over Duggan who eventually finishes Reed off with his signature Running Clothesline. <strong>(71, B-)</strong></p><p> </p><p> After the match, a man in the crowd manages to get Jim Duggan's attention. The man simply asks "How much for that title belt?" Jim Duggan waves him off and informs the man at the front row it's not for sale. The man simply laughs and says "Everybody's got a price for the million dollar man..." <strong>(68, C+)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Backstage, Mean Gene conducts an interview with Bobby Heenan who is surrounded by fellow family members; Mr. Perfect, Vader and Hercules. Bobby Heenan insults Andre The Giant once again about his loss at Wrestlemania III against Kerry Von Erich whilst the rest of his team managed to secure a victory. Heenan then confidently says he is positive Hercules will get a victory against Andre The Giant later tonight if a pipsqueak like Kerry can. <strong>(79, B)</strong></p><p> </p><p> The next match sees Davey Boy Smith take on his former tag team partner, The Dynamite Kid. Davey Boy Smith easily throws the smaller Dynamite Kid around the ring, not allowing him to take any of the offence. Eventually, a fed up Dynamite Kid leaves the ring and get's himself counted out. The crowd boo The Dynamite Kid who couldn't care less. <strong>(70, C+)</strong></p><p> </p><p> After the match, Vince McMahon informs his announce team and the fans in attendance that Jack Tunney has officially suspended Dynamite Kid for his actions. <strong>(58, C-)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Andre The Giant then faces Hercules. Hercules charges at Andre The Giant who lifts him up for a devastating body slam. Andre The Giant then pins Hercules to secure the pinfall victory in under 30 seconds! <strong>(56, C-)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Andre The Giant, leaves the ring straight after his easy pinfall victory. Bobby Heenan who is standing at ringside with Orndorff, Harley Race, Mr. Perfect and Vader is left stunned! Heenan then orders Vader to get in that ring and powerbomb Hercules. Bobby Heenan then insults Hercules and tells him he is no longer apart of this family. <strong>(79, B)</strong></p><p> </p><p> We are then joined backstage with Honky Tonk Man and Jimmy Hart. Mean Gene asks Honky Tonk "Are you feeling confident about your rematch with Jake The Snake tonight despite your loss at Wrestlemania." Honky Tonk Man laughs and makes it clear "Snake boy got lucky that night, I had a bad case of the blues, but tonight I'm gonna put that man to sleep with a lullaby- or maybe just a hit over the head with this here guitar." <strong>(75, B-)</strong></p><p> </p><p> The rematch between Jake 'The Snake' Roberts and The Honky Tonk Man proves to be a better contest than the Wrestlemania bout. Honky Tonk late into the match gets onto the attack and when he thinks the referee isn't looking, Jimmy Hart passes Honky Tonk a guitar and smashes it over Jake the snakes head. However, unfortunately for Honky Tonk the ref was in fact looking and disqualifies Honky Tonk Man, awarding the victory to Jake 'The Snake' Roberts. <strong>(81, B)</strong></p><p> </p><p> A pre-taped video plays of The Red Army (Colonel Ninotchka, Nikita Koloff, Nikolai Volkoff and Vladimir Petrov) standing in front of the Russian Flag. Each of them takes turns speaking, however, they all have the same goal in mind for tonight. Dethrone the hart foundation and take the tag team titles back home to mother Russia. <strong>(61, C)</strong></p><p> </p><p> The Semi-Main Event between The Red Army and The Hart Foundation gets underway and is a back and forth bout throughout. The Hart Foundation towards the end starts to see a pattern in The Red Army's attack and counter it beautifully. Not one to accept losing fairly, Vladimir Petrov interferes on behalf of Koloff and Volkoff to make the ref call the match and award the DQ victory to The Hart Foundation. <strong>(77, B)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Post-Match, The Red Army beatdown The Hart Foundation as Colonel Ninotchka begins singing the Russian national anthem. <strong>(65, C)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Backstage, Bobby Heenan informs Race and Orndorff their places in the family are safe, as long as they perform well and don't suffer an embarrassing quick loss just like Hercules did earlier. <strong>(92, A)</strong></p><p> </p><p> Elsewhere backstage, Kerry and Kevin discuss their plan for tonight's main event. Coming up next! <strong>(100, A*)</strong></p><p> </p><p> The Main Event gets underway and features back and forth action, and also features Bobby Heenan behaving himself at ringside! No one in attendance knew which way the match was going to go but eventually, a mistake by Orndorff allows Kerry Von Erich to apply to Iron Claw, forcing Orndorff to tap out. <strong>(82, B)</strong></p><p> </p><p> To end the show, Randy Savage makes his way to the ring with the IC belt around his waist and squares off against Kerry Von Erich... <strong>(100, A*)</strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Final Rating: (89, A)</strong></p><p> </p><p> - The Dynamite Kid/Davey Boy feud will continue as Dynamite Kid will get through his suspension by wrestling under a mask.</p><p> - Kerry Von Erich keeps wrestling high on drugs or wasted on painkillers. The original plan of Kerry vs. Savage will still go underway at Summerslam but Randy Savage will most likely go over now instead of Kerry.</p><p> - Upon Hulk Hogans return he will still feud with Paul Orndorff, but the scheduled second feud against The Red Army is being scrapped for now as Jesse Ventura's new contract allows him to appear in matches, he will stay on commentary exclusively but I hope to do a one-off match at Wrestlemania IV between Hogan & Ventura.</p><p> - I have no plans for Hercules so he will now appear mainly on my B-show. His appearances on the A-show and PPV will see him being used as a jobber to the stars.</p><p> - Vader and Mr Perfect are being dubbed as 'The Future of WWF' by Bobby Heenan and both men will hold the World Title and IC Belt respectively in the next 3-4 years.</p><p> - For now, I plan on pushing 'Lethal' Larry Cameron hard. I currently have Bobby Heenan and Slick fighting over who represents him.</p><p> - The Hart Foundation will drop the Tag titles to The Red Army soon then after a few failed attempts to get it back I will be starting Bret Hart's single career.</p><p> - Regardless of who wins the Von Erich/Savage match at Summerslam, the winner will only hold the World Title and will be forced to vacate the IC title. A tournament will then be scheduled with the conclusion of the tournament to happen at my December PPV, "Live From Madison Square Garden" I currently plan on having Honky Tonk Man win the tournament.</p><p> - King Of The Ring will happen in July which I also plan on having Honky Tonk Man win on his road to the IC title. (The final of the KOTR will also be the ending to the Jake The Snake Roberts vs. Honky Tonk Man feud)</p><p> - Neither the IC Tournament Final or the World title will main event "Live From Madison Square Garden" as I already have Hulk Hogans return match against Paul Orndorff scheduled to main event.</p>

<p><strong>Playing the Superfly Effect mod as WWF:</strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>WrestleMania III:</strong></p><p> </p><p> Wrestlemania III opens up with "Mean" Gene welcoming the fans to what he promises to be the greatest spectacle the wrestling world has ever seen! He is then joined with the special guests of tonight's show, Sylvester Stallone and Mr T! After some back and forth chit chat, Mr T jokingly asks "So Rocky, when am I getting this rematch?" Stallone laughs and says "How about tonight?" Before walking off camera. <strong>[78 B]</strong></p><p> </p><p> We then get straight into action! The Team of Nikita Koloff & Nikolai Volkoff square off against the fast-paced duo known as the Killer Bees! The Red Army quickly take advantage, easily throwing the two cruiserweights around. Despite a late comeback attempt, however, an interfering Vladimir Petrov catches Brian Blair on the ropes with a chain around the neck, allowing Nikita Koloff to secure the pinfall victory. All three men swing Russian Flags in the air as they walk to the backstage area. <strong>[71 B-]</strong> </p><p> </p><p> We then jump into singles action as Butch Reed takes on Koko B. Ware. The bout featured some nice back and forth action but Butch Reed soon got the upper hand and eventually finished off the much lighter Koko with a Gorilla Press Slam! <strong>[70 C+]</strong></p><p> </p><p> The Cameras then shoot to the backstage area where Randy Savage gives a pumped up interview with Mean Gene, telling him that just like St George, tonight he will become a dragonslayer... <strong>[90 A]</strong></p><p> </p><p> Following this, we're straight back into the action! The battle of the full nelson between Hercules and Billy Jack Haynes. Both men look to end this match quickly with no man really getting the upper hand, this is until that weasel Bobby Heenan manages to distract BJH giving Hercules enough time to apply the full nelson and make Billy Jack tap out! Vince McMahon then makes a remark that unfortunately, the night belongs to the bad guys so far, Jesse Ventura adds on this with a simple "Just as it should!" <strong>[66 C+]</strong></p><p> </p><p> Mean Gene interviews Bobby Heenan acknowledging that one of his clients has already secured a victory tonight and asks "Do you think it's possible that Kerry Von Erich may cause an upset tonight and take the belt from the giant?" Bobby Heenan scoffs "Are you stupid? No man has stopped Andre before, a pipsqueak like Kerry sure as hell won't be the first." <strong>[79 B]</strong></p><p> </p><p> The camera pans to the ring where Howard Finkel stands. He announces the following match is a boxing match and the much-awaited rematch between Rocky Balboa and Clubber Lang! Both Men enter the ring where the scheduled referee run through the rules. <strong>[76 B-]</strong></p><p> </p><p> The boxing match gets underway with Clubber Lang quickly overpowering Balboa, this doesn't last long after a 'ROCKY ROCKY!" chant breaks out in the crowd, allowing the Italian Stallion to muster a comeback, eventually knocking Clubber Lang to the mat for the 10 count. The two men post-match shake hands and share a hug as a sign of respect. <strong>[76 B-]</strong></p><p> </p><p> The next match sees Harley Race taking on The Junkyard Dog with the stipulation that the loser must kiss the victors foot. JYD dominates to the surprise of not only the crowd but also to Bobby Heenan who looks on at ringside. However, Heenan being Heenan of course soon get's involved, allowing Harley Race to deliver a devasting piledriver to JYD to end the match. <strong>[76 B-]</strong></p><p> </p><p> Post-Match, King Harley Race orders Hercules to hold JYD and then demands that he show respect to his king. Hercules then digs JYD's face into the foot of Harley Race as Race and Heenan laugh on. <strong>[85 B+]</strong></p><p> </p><p> We then go backstage where Jake 'The Snake' Roberts gives an eery interview with 'Mean' Gene and ensures "That Elvis Wannabe will be another victim of the DDT." <strong>[74 B-]</strong></p><p> </p><p> We then get into our next match. To Begin, Piper and Adonis began the match by attacking each other back and forth. Adonis put a sleeper hold on Piper in the middle of the ring and released the hold prior to Piper's arm going down for a 3rd time, thinking that he won the match. When Jimmy Hart got in the ring to celebrate with Adonis, Brutus Beefcake came to the ring to help Piper recover, and Piper attacked Adonis and performed a sleeper hold of his own to secure the victory. <strong>[74 B-]</strong></p><p> </p><p> Post-Match an unconscious Adrian Adonis gets his hair shaved by Brutus Beefcake whilst Piper holds Jimmy Hart down. [<strong>81 B]</strong></p><p> </p><p> The next match sees Jake Roberts along with his trusted python Damien take on Honky Tonk Man in no DQ action. The bout is brutal with many in attendance unsure which way it was going to go. At one point it looked sure that Honky Tonk was going to win after smashing an acoustic guitar over the head of Jake The Snake. However, Jake quickly recovered and choked Honky Tonk Man with his python who eventually passed out, giving the victory to Jake. <strong>[79 B]</strong></p><p> </p><p> The first title match of the night takes place as The Hart Foundation face off against long-time rivals the British Bulldogs. The Bulldogs mix of High Flying intensity and Brutal Power looked like The Bulldogs were going to surely take the belts back from The Hart Foundation. Unfortunately for them miscommunication between The Bulldogs sees Davey Boy Smith accidentally flatter The Dynamite Kid which Bret Hart fully capitalizes on to pin The Dynamite Kid and retain the World Tag Team titles. <strong>[78 B]</strong></p><p> </p><p> Post-Match Dynamite Kid and Davey Boy Smith get into a row which sees Dynamite Kid attack Davey Boy. Surprisingly, The Hart Foundation run back into the ring to defend Davey Boy! Dynamite Kid quickly makes his way out of the ring with the fans now against him. <strong>[64 C]</strong></p><p> </p><p> The Semi-Main Event saw defending Intercontinental Champion, Randy Savage face Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat. In a bout that lasted over 20 minutes, both men electrified the crowd but in the end, Macho Man retained his title after slaying the dragon with his signature Flying Elbow Drop. <strong>[83 B+]</strong></p><p> </p><p> Prior to the main event, 'Mean' Gene Okerlund announces to the crowd an indoor attendance record of 93,173! <strong>[61 C]</strong></p><p> </p><p> In what was billed as the "biggest main event in sports entertainment," the match pitted WWF World Heavyweight Champion Andre The Giant accompanied to the ring with Bobby Heenan defending the title against Kerry Von Erich who was supported at ringside by Fritz, Kevin and Mike Von Erich. Andre was heavily booed throughout the match. With the fans behind his back, Kerry went to war with Andre however, his attacks seemed to rarely do anything to the giant but anger him. Kerry eventually found the best way to defeat the giant was to first tire him down, mainly with chops and kicks to his legs. Andre towards the end of the match gave Kerry an Irish whip to the far side of the ring and attempted a big boot on Kerry, but he ducked it and came off the ropes to give Andre a clothesline to take him off his feet for the first time in the match. A groggy Andre then raised back to his feet only to be scooped slammed down onto the ground by Kerry Von Erich which drives the fans crazy. Kerry Von Erich capitalises on this by pinning the 525 pound Giant to become the new WWF World Heavyweight Champion! <strong>[81 B]</strong></p><p> </p><p> After the Match the fans go crazy! Kerry Von Erich, against all odds defeated the giant! Kerry is joined in the ring with his family, as he holds the World Title high above his head he screams, "This is for you, David!" <strong>[74 B-]</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong>Final Rating:<strong> B+ [88]</strong></p><p> </p><p> <strong>Storylines After Wrestlemania III:</strong></p><p> </p><p> <em>Kerry Von Erich vs. Randy Savage</em> (Won't meet in singles action until Summerslam)</p><p> <em>The Hart Foundation vs. The Red Army</em> (World Tag Title Feud)</p><p> <em>Davey Boy Smith vs. Dynamite Kid</em></p><p> <em>Andre The Giant vs. The Heenan Family (this will be Andres final feud, as he will be turning face now)</em></p><p> <em>Jake Roberts vs. Honky Tonk Man</em></p><p> <em>Jim Duggan vs. Ted DiBiase</em> (TV Title feud)</p><p> </p><p> <strong>Additonal Information:</strong></p><p> </p><p> - I signed the Road Warriors but they won't debut for another three months. The first feud they will be involved in will be against Demolition.</p><p> - Vader has been signed and will join the Heenan family, the end of the Andre/Heenan Family feud will most likely see Andre putting Vader over.</p><p> - Hulk Hogan is out for 8 months but is available for angles. However, I won't be using him for angles until closer to his return. His return feud will be against Paul Orndorff after Bobby Heenan sends Mr. Wonderful to end Hogan's career once and for all because 'He isn't 100% after his back injury.' Hogan will most likely have a typical 'USA vs. Russia' Feud against the red army after that feud before returning to the Main Event scene.</p><p> - Scott Hall is currently wrestling as Scott Hansen, the storyline cousin of Stan Hansen. Hansen is on a PPA contract for 9 months and is only here to get Scott over, Hansen will then return to Japan then Scott's gimmick will gradually change to The Diamond Studd which will remain his gimmick.</p><p> - Davey Boy Smith will most likely get a Television Title run sometime after his Dynamite Kid feud and will then gradually move in the IC title race.</p>

Bumping this because I actually took a break from TEW not long after posting this ! I believe all the same feuds are in effect if I remember correctly (Cruiser-X feud is now Jacobs & Phoenix vs. Motor City Machine Guns)

In my head canon, he wouldn't open a promotion without investing some monetary resources into it so he also announced the Honor Network with initial Big coverage in USA and Canada. </p><p> </p><p> The initial roster was a who's who of indy darlings plus a little gem named Rob Van Dam. </p><p> </p><p> The first year plugged along with RVD and CM Punk being the headline feud over the ROH Championship and those two brought the house down everytime they faced off against each other. RVD couldn't have a bad match if he wanted so it was no surprise that he held onto the championship for almost a full year. </p><p> </p><p> We slowly bought out failing promotions left and right, there was no one safe from ROH, except for FMW and OZ Academy which were bought out by NJPW. </p><p> </p><p> When WWF rejected bringing back Brian Adams and Bryan Clark, ROH swooped in and brought the monsters aboard originally to help legitimize the fledgling tag division consisting of the Havana Pitbulls, LAX (Homicide & Low Ki), Londrick, and America's Most Wanted. </p><p> </p><p> Coinciding with our rise to Cult and the 2nd overall promotion in the world, ROH managed to steal Chris Kanyon away from WWF, and CM Punk finally defeated RVD for the ROH Championship. </p><p> </p><p> The next night on Weekly Honor! Punk arrived with Kronik and Kanyon, calling themselves the Society and putting everyone on notice that they were here to stay. </p><p> </p><p> Austin Aries found the old NWA Canadian Junior Heavyweight Championship in Dana White's office and stole it, crowning himself champion and lording it over the division. That didnt sit well with rising star Chris Hero, who had to watch Aries "defend" the belt each week and intentionally get himself counted out to hold on to the title.* Hero would make Aries pay and take the title from him, rechristening it the ROH X Division Championship in the process. </p><p> </p><p> AJ Styles held the ROH TV Championship for nearly a year before he was unseated by Christopher Daniels. They would have a rematch the next night but Styles would move on to help RVD, Rey Mysterio, and John Cena with The Society, and Daniels focus was shifted to Samoa Joe, Finn Balor, and Kevin Steen. </p><p> </p><p> Following bitter battles between LAX and Havana Pitbulls, LAX boasted they were untouchable and mocked Londrick who they were defending their titles against. Well, the Pitbulls wanted to teach them some humility and while they didnt win the titles, they did help Londrick unseat LAX from atop the tag division. </p><p> </p><p> When ROH rose to Cult we opened 2 wrestling schools; the School of Honor and the Women of Honor, with the hopes that both promotions would feed ROH the future stars of wrestling, and they are doing just that. Originally a main roster member, Petey Williams from Canada was sent to the School Of Honor as an Opener and returned months later as an Upper Midcarder in setting himself in Daniels TV Championship match at ROH Civil War. </p><p> </p><p> Also at Civil War, CM Punk finally ended RVD's Hope's of regaining the championship when he beat him in a Last Man Standing match with the caveat that if RVD lost, he cant challenge again while CM Punk is champion.</p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> This sounds like an interesting save!
