The big men were off to a dominant start as they tossed everyone outside of the ring, but this came back to haunt them as it united everyone else against them. Their efforts spread thin against so many and much more mobile opponents, Coast to Coast had trouble keeping up and so did Puroresu-gun due to a combination of Torii's lingering injury and his teammates' inexperience, which eventually allowed Funakoshi to pin Matsumoto for the win.</p><p> <strong>In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Seven Samurai (Funakoshi, Toshinobu Taku and Yoriie Ippitsusai) defeated Puroresu-gun (Bunrakuken Torii, MUSCLE Serizawa and Kyuichi Matsumoto) and Coast to Coast (Giant Brody, Rokuemon Matsushita and Naozane Goto) in 9:33 when Funakoshi pinned Kyuichi Matsumoto.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong>Rating:</strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="87E3trK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/87E3trK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="rYebwAf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/rYebwAf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong> </strong><img alt="32BXfva.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/32BXfva.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="MkIWjY4.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/MkIWjY4.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="25UZG0h.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/25UZG0h.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7VXjYUs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7VXjYUs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="S5oggAX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/S5oggAX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p><strong> Double K vs Shiga & Miyake</strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> Revisiting their match at Lion's Roar V two months prior, the two teams got straight to business with stiff chops and strikes from the opening bell in a very competitive back and forth exchange. This time the outcome was different however, with Kiyotaka catching young lion Miyake in the Kimura to force the tap out and bring both teams at one win each.

Horigoshi gave it his everything to keep the belt with Puroresu-gun and his methodical style blending submission grappling with stiff strikes made for a nice contrast to Harker's southern brawling approach. A hard hitting and hotly contested bout, this one took a turn for the dramatic after Harker landed rough to the outside and seemed to favor one foot for the rest of the match. Showing remarkable resilience though, Harker fought on and even managed to pull Horigoshi in for the Stump Piledriver, winning the match, title and the fans over with his fighting spirit despite being a gaijin.</p><p> <strong>In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Animal Harker defeated Yuki Horigoshi in 17:51 by pinfall with a Stump Piledriver.

Playing off Thursday's surprise underdog win when Ikoma pinned Smith in a tag match, the big brawler from the U.S. seemed hellbent on returning the favor as he sought to pin the Puroresu-gun representative. This ultimately ended up costing him the match though, as after 30 grueling minutes of back and forth action, Ikoma hit Taku with an exploder suplex only to have his pin attempt broken up by Smith; instead of taking the win there and then by covering Taku, Smith chose to attack Ikoma, a fatal decision that exhausted both men and allowed Taku to recover. By the time hostilities were over, Ikoma was down on the mat and Smith simply stumbled into the Full Nelson Bomb as fans exploded in cheers over the young hopeful becoming the National champion by defeating the gaijin Smith.</p><p> <strong>In a bout that had great wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Yoshinaka Taku defeated Blast Ikoma and Bulldozer Brandon Smith in 30:11 when Yoshinaka Taku defeated Blast Ikoma by pinfall with a Full Nelson Bomb.

The former champions struggled initially as the energetic youngsters took the ageing Toshinobu Taku by storm, but with the help of his son Yoshinaka and making the best of their experience together, the former BCG World Tag Team champions were able to turn things around and walk away with the victory.</p><p> <strong>In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Team Taku defeated Kyuichi Matsumoto and MUSCLE Serizawa in 10:13 when Yoshinaka Taku defeated Kyuichi Matsumoto by pinfall with a Taku Tag Treatment.</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: </strong><strong><span style="color:#FF8C00;">C-</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Catching up with the Taku family backstage, I was able to get a few comments from the two of them:</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="pzwPD24.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/pzwPD24.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Sabbj9c.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Sabbj9c.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> <strong>T.Taku:</strong> "I am proud of my son and I always will be.

Continuing their recent string of victories, Double K were able to pick up another one, this time thanks to Kiyotaka's submission skills. This had them tied with Coast to Coast and turned the night's main event into the big tie breaker.</p><p> <strong>In a bout that had decent wrestling but little heat, Double K defeated Conner Threepwood and Eikichi Itou in 10:05 when Kiyotaka defeated Eikichi Itou by submission with a Kimura.</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: </strong><strong><span style="color:#A0522D;">D+</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Neither team had any comments to make, as everyone was on the edge waiting for the main event.</p><p> </p><p> For all their individual skill, Ikoma and Horigoshi still had to work out how to function as a team. American Demolition Mk.II tried to give them as few opportunities as they could in order to make the best of their own teaming experience, but this was easier said than done. Things went back and forth with plenty of comebacks and false finishes, but shortly before the twenty minute time mark, Ikoma hit Harker with a Northern Lights Bomb out of nowhere while Horigoshi and Smith were brawling at ringside, pulling off a surprise win for the underdog team in the match while also making sure that Puroresu-gun top the leaderboards to earn the group a title shot for any title they wish.</p><p> <strong>In a decent match, Blast Ikoma and Yuki Horigoshi defeated American Demolition Mk.II in 18:49 when Blast Ikoma defeated Animal Harker by pinfall with a Northern Lights Bomb.</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: </strong><strong><span style="color:#FF8C00;">C</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Addressing the crowd once the match was over, the winners were joined by the other members of their group to say the following:</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="xH5san9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xH5san9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Vi9pn5n.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Vi9pn5n.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> <strong>Ikoma:</strong> "Tonight, American Demolition Mk.II lost to me and Yuki, just like they will lose again at BCG Generations. I'm scheduled to face Smith and Yoshi Taku for the National title, Yuki here will be facing Harker for the Challengers Series. Consider this a taste of things to come."</p><p> <strong>Horigoshi:</strong> "I know many of you are wondering who we will be challenging with the shot our group got after topping this month's leaderboards. Well, I'm sorry to say we won't be making a decision until after this week's Generations show. Although I'm pretty sure the only title left for us by then will be the BCG World Tag Team belts and you saw tonight we are more than capable of winning those too."</p><p> </p><p> So the final point yield for December looks like this:</p><p> Puroresu-gun (Torii): 28</p><p> Coast to Coast (Brody/Matsushita): 26</p><p> Seven Samurai (Funakoshi): 18</p>

Despite his clear power advantage, Goto was prevented from dominating the match and Threepwood's recent string of wins was brought to an end when Shiga hit him with the Deadlift German for the pin as the winners continue to build momentum leading to their clash with Double K at BCG Generations.</p><p> <strong>In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Shiga & Miyake defeated Conner Threepwood and Naozane Goto in 10:07 when Masayuki Shiga defeated Conner Threepwood by pinfall with a Deadlift German Suplex.</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: </strong><strong><span style="color:#FF8C00;">C-</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Shiga & Miyake were very happy with the result and understandably so.

Double K are commendable, but lack the experience or skill our team brings to the fight."</p><p> <strong>Miyake:</strong> "We got the win and two points for the team. I have nothing but respect for Shiga-sama and this translates into what you see from us in the ring."</p><p> </p><p> Their scheduled opponents wasted no time and responded in kind right after, defeating Yoriie Ippitsusai and Shuzo Utagawa of Seven Samurai in an equally exciting bout. For all their crisp technical skills, Ippitsusai and Utagawa's lack of diversity cost them the match as Double K hit them with a combination of power moves, brawling and submission wrestling they just couldn't provide an answer against.</p><p> <strong>In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Double K defeated Yoriie Ippitsusai and Shuzo Utagawa in 10:17 when Gidayu Katou defeated Shuzo Utagawa by pinfall with a Lariat.</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: </strong><strong><span style="color:#FF8C00;">C-</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> The response wasn't limited to the ring though.

There is no denying the future, we are the ones to bring this company to a new age."</p><p> </p><p> In the main event, the second incarnation of American Demolition and Team Taku renewed hostilities in a feud that began late this spring. Even though the BCG World Tag Team titles are no longer in the picture, there is no love lost between the two sides and this became apparent as they traded merciless blows for almost twenty minutes. Despite being the one pinned, Toshinobu Taku received a standing ovation from the fans once the match was over, a show of respect for his resilience at age 49, his recent overcoming of an injury and everything he has done for the fans in these 31 years as a professional wrestler.</p><p> <strong>In a decent match, American Demolition Mk.II defeated Team Taku in 18:33 when Animal Harker defeated Toshinobu Taku by pinfall with a Stump Piledriver.</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: </strong><strong><span style="color:#FF8C00;">C+</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Of course, the last word belonged to the winners and the gaijin duo did not hold back when they got on the mic:</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="POBEZKK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/POBEZKK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="3rJ5hD0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/3rJ5hD0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> <strong>Smith:</strong> "You know, for a moment I was sad the tag titles weren't on the line this time, but then I realized by the end of the week I will be the first ever BCG National champion, while Harker here will be holding the BCG Challengers Series title."</p><p> <strong>Harker:</strong> "Team Taku have a long history but it' just that, history.

Heather B really needed that re-render treatment. Like, <em>really needed</em> it. Love Bison's take on Faust too.

Great work on all renders, smw88! Katou especially needed the re-rendering, but I'm also digging McKenna and Koller's "80s German rocker" vibe.

Black Canvas Grappling Generations Press Conference Highlights Though not himself present at the press conference, Irwin Gutmann was confirmed as having signed a touring contract with Black Canvas Grappling following his turbulent release from Ultimate European Wrestling. The wrestler will be making his debut at the Generations show, however he will do so in a dark pre-show match against fellow gaijin Conner Threepwood. A second dark pre-show match was also announced, in which Eikichi Itou will be facing Shuzo Utagawa. Perhaps the two most promising tag teams to be formed this year in BCG, Shiga & Miyake and Double K are set to clash in a match at BCG Generations. The bout itself has been characterized as a prequel of what fans could expect from the upcoming TagMania tournament and indeed both teams are among the favorites to make it pretty far into the later stages of the tournament. Masayuki Shiga himself said he's feeling pretty well about this match despite his 52 years of age, of which 34 were spent in the ring, while Miyake has been hailed for a while now as BCG's brightest young prospect and a potential future ace in the making. Their opponents had few words to say regarding the matchup, though in typical Puroresu-gun fashion they sought to present themselves as the modern, energetic alternative to the "dinosaur" approach that Miyake and especially Shiga stand for. http://i.imgur.com/U7CMnva.jpg Muscle Blasters are also one of the most promising teams to emerge in Black Canvas Grappling throughout this year and the reason for their absence from the previously mentioned match was explained later with the revelation of a brand new title belt, the BCG National title. As was explained, the decision to introduce a new singles title was made after the rules regarding the BCG Challengers Series title were put into effect, allowing its holder to vacate in exchange for a shot at the BCG World title. As such, Yoshifusa Maeda and Kazu Yoshizawa felt that a new "secondary" singles title with a more classic ruleset around it was required, leading to the introduction of the BCG National title. The promotion's three factions were then asked to name a (non-title holder) challenger to compete in a three way singles match and Puroresu-gun put Blast Ikoma forward, perhaps feeling he has lately been somewhat held back by his young lion partner in Muscle Serizawa. Seven Samurai responded in kind by naming Yoshinaka Taku as their choice, a man slowly breaking free of his father's shadow in Team Taku and a formidable former contender for the BCG World title. Coast to Coast chose to have Bulldozer Brandon Smith compete for the belt and while he certainly is a formidable challenger, the choice of a westerner fighting for the National title has received its fair share of heat. In a sentimental moment that came next, Bunrakuken Torii revealed that he won't be fully healed in time for the show, which in turn means he can neither defend his BCG Challengers Series title nor trade it for a shot at Funakoshi's BCG World title. Repeating his desire to be a fighting champion, Torii chose to vacate the title for a match against Funakoshi in January. As for December's Generations show, the two scheduled opponents will be leading their army in a 3 vs 3 vs 3 faction war to open the show. Due to the BCG Challengers Series title being vacated, Animal Harker and Yuki Horigoshi will be fighting each other in the semi-main event to crown the next champion. Harker received some criticism regarding his ability as a singles wrestler, to which he responded in rough fashion, while Horigoshi said this is his chance to "take the next step" in the company.

BCG Generations Tour Thursday, W3 of December 2016 Hall of Nagahama, Kinki Attendance: 300 (sold out) Show Rating: D Goemon Inoue: Black Canvas Grappling returns to its home region of Kinki for a sold out show to wrap up the third week of December. The show is just over and it was announced there will be a press conference tomorrow for the Generations show that will take place next week. But let's not get ahead of ourselves, here is what went down in the ring tonight: The opening match saw a bit of an upset, as former sumo athlete Naozane Goto and heavyweight Eikichi Itou lost once again to the smaller but more harmonious pairing of "Double K" as is now the name that Kiyotaka and Gidayu Katou use for themselves.In a repeat of Tuesday's match in Shikoku, Katou scored the pinfall over Itou after connecting with a Lariat. In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Double K defeated Naozane Goto and Eikichi Itou in 9:34 when Gidayu Katou defeated Eikichi Itou by pinfall with a Lariat. Rating: D Once again, Double K returned backstage victorious, yet I was unable to get a moment with them for an interview. Up next, veteran Yoriie Ippitsusai and young lion Shuzo Utagawa picked up two precious points for their stable against "100% Machine" Yuki Horigoshi and Kyuichi Matsumoto. In a poor match, Yoriie Ippitsusai and Shuzo Utagawa defeated Yuki Horigoshi and Kyuichi Matsumoto in 10:01 when Yoriie Ippitsusai defeated Kyuichi Matsumoto by pinfall with a Yakuza Kick. Rating: D- This is what the representatives of Seven Samurai had to say once their match was over: Ippitsusai: "This win was important for me but it was more important for the Samurai. It wasn't easy keeping up with the younger ones, so I had to outsmart them, I'm glad it worked out." Utagawa: "It was a tough match, for sure, but always a learning experience." In the main event, team leaders of Seven Samurai and Puroresu-gun teamed up with their respective second-in-command for an exciting tag match that had fans at the edge of their seats. With Torii still recovering from his kidney injury, Funakoshi and Taku made the best of this advantage, focusing their offense on his lower body and abdomen area. This limited his impact and had Blast Ikoma struggle to pull through, in turn exposing him to damage until Taku was able to hit him with the Full Nelson Bomb for the win. In a bout that had great wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Funakoshi and Yoshinaka Taku defeated Bunrakuken Torii and Blast Ikoma in 18:51 when Yoshinaka Taku defeated Blast Ikoma by pinfall with a Full Nelson Bomb. Rating: C Addressing the crowd once the match was over, the winners had this to say: Funakoshi: "Thank you all for coming to this show. It has been a pleasure and an honor wrestling in front of you." Taku: "They say you're only as good as the ones you beat and it couldn't get much bigger than tonight. Congratulations to our opponents for their effort. Make sure you don't miss the press conference tomorrow." So after the show, the score card looks like this: Coast to Coast (Brody/Matsushita): 20 Puroresu-gun (Torii): 18 Seven Samurai (Funakoshi): 14

In a dramatic back and forth match that kept on raising the bar with each passing moment, Harker was finally able to hit the Stump Piledriver on Ippitsusai while Smith and Funakoshi were busy brawling at ringside, their clashes over the title well documented and contributing to the scuffle in the first place.</p><p> <strong>In a decent match, American Demolition Mk.II defeated Funakoshi and Yoriie Ippitsusai in 18:34 when Animal Harker defeated Yoriie Ippitsusai by pinfall with a Stump Piledriver.</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: </strong><strong><span style="color:#FF8C00;">C</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Much like their teammates Partnership of Pain, American Demolition Mk.II were not shy about their accomplishments once the match was over:</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="3rJ5hD0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/3rJ5hD0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="POBEZKK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/POBEZKK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> <strong>Harker:</strong> "I said it yesterday, I'll say it again, no matter who I'm together with, my team still walks away with the win!"</p><p> <strong>Smith:</strong> "I want Funakoshi to know that once Coast to Coast top this month's standings, I'm cashing in for the opportunity to beat him and claim the BCG World title.

The company is based on the country's west coast in order to make it easier for Japanese workers to fly in and hopefully home grown talent to tour Japan as well. WCG seek to exploit a gap they have located in the wrestling market north of the border as well as a huge pool of skilled in-ring talent, though whether they can stay in the market alongside giants like NOTBPW and CGC while not exactly offering a major alternative like 4C, ACPW or a hardcore promotion would, remains to be seen.</em></p>

If you don't want the title history to show up as "Vacant" you can always book a tag match with the titles on the line, even if the holders aren't booked to wrestle in it. Winners still become champions. As for the injury, best case scenario is Vendetta returns cleared to wrestle, but with massive lingering damage and a tendency to not wrestle matches or opponents that might re-injure her. Most likely scenario I've seen, she returns to immediately announce her retirement from active competition.

Well I've already added it onto my "Default" database as a company that could randomly open in future games. Depending on how my BCG Defenders of Puroresu save goes, there might come a time where White Canvas Grappling becomes a thing there as well...

Maybe try and pin him for a title shot? We already got championship gold and with tonight's two points, we'll take the lead in the race so that Coast to Coast can win even more gold!"</p><p> </p><p> In the main event, young Yoshinaka Taku went toe to toe with the big man Bulldozer Brandon Smith. The two of them have only wrestled each other one on one in a single match before and the outcome wasn't different this time either, with Smith getting a win he had to work really hard for. More than once did Taku look like he was about to win it, but Smith just wouldn't stay down. Likewise, Taku stayed in the fight for a good twenty minutes, before Smith hit him with the Backdrop Driver to end the match.</p><p> <strong>In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Bulldozer Brandon Smith defeated Yoshinaka Taku in 20:46 by pinfall with a Backdrop Driver.</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: </strong><strong><span style="color:#FF8C00;">C+</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Exhausted, Smith had this to say once the match was over:</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="POBEZKK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/POBEZKK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> <strong>Smith:</strong> "Toshi Taku may not be a young lion, but he's a youngster nonetheless and he has a long way to go before he can beat the likes of me."</p><p> </p><p> So here's how the scores shape up after tonight's show:</p><p> Coast to Coast (Brody/Matsushita): 14</p><p> Puroresu-gun (Torii): 12</p><p> Seven Samurai (Funakoshi): 8</p>

<p>Since it was brought up, the White Canvas Logo reads "EST MCXVIII, and MCXVIII is 1118. If willr0ck wants to bother changing it, here are a few versions of what I imagine he might have been aiming for:</p><p> 1998 - MCMXCVIII</p><p> 2008 - MMVIII</p><p> 2018 - MMXVIII</p>

Love, love, LOVE this stuff, Poet Justice! Do you plan on releasing it all in a dedicated diary thread? Would love to have it all in one place instead of scrolling through this thread for each piece.

Despite Kiyotaka's stellar performace and the heart his young lion teammates put up on display, their massive opponents had a relatively easy night, wrapping the match up with a victory in just under eight minutes.</p><p> <strong>In a bout that had decent wrestling but little heat, Giant Brody, Conner Threepwood and Naozane Goto defeated MUSCLE Serizawa and Kiyotaka & Katou in 7:42 when Conner Threepwood defeated MUSCLE Serizawa by submission with a Stretch Plum.</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: </strong><strong><span style="color:#A0522D;">D</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> This is what the man who got the tap out win for his team had to say once the match was over:</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="VfnB77X.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/VfnB77X.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> <strong>Threepwood:</strong> "I said things would change in my favor and this is exactly what happened here tonight. I'm getting more comfortable as time goes by and you can only expect me to wrestle better and better with each match."</p><p> </p><p> Next up, the veteran-rookie pairing of Masayuki Shiga and Motoyuki Miyake got in the ring to wrestle against BCG Challengers Series champion Bunrakuken Torii and his newest recruit in Yuki Horigoshi. Torii kicked off the match with a salvo of his trademark machine gun chops, but the experienced Shiga targeted his injured abdominal area to sideline him. Horigoshi was left to pick up the slack and he kept the pace of the match fast, smartly exhausting Shiga who had to tag Miyake in. "BCG's hottest rookie" had a chance to show how he earned that nickname, but he ultimately fell to a Yuki Rush Lariat, handing the win and two points to Puroresu-gun.</p><p> <strong>In a poor match, Bunrakuken Torii and Yuki Horigoshi defeated Shiga & Miyake in 8:04 when Yuki Horigoshi defeated Motoyuki Miyake by pinfall with a Yuki Rush Lariat.</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: </strong><strong><span style="color:#A0522D;">D</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> Neither of the four participants had anything to say once they returned backstage, instead they headed to the locker room in order to recover.</p><p> </p><p> In the main event, Blast Ikoma and Animal Harker met for the first time in a singles matchup, delivering a bout worthy of its spot. Harker's Western style brawling proved quite unorthodox for Ikoma who had trouble dealing with it, but a combination of desire and explosive comebacks kept him in the match for over twenty minutes as things went back and forth in a hotly contested match where momentum kept changing again and again. In a dramatic final sequence of counters and near falls, Ikoma was the one who came out on top when he managed to keep his opponent down for the count after hitting him with his finisher.</p><p> <strong>In a decent match, Blast Ikoma defeated Animal Harker in 21:31 by pinfall with a Northern Lights Bomb.</strong></p><p><strong> Rating: </strong><strong><span style="color:#FF8C00;">C-</span></strong></p><p> </p><p> I caught up with the night's big winner after the match:</p><p> </p><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="xH5san9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xH5san9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p> <strong>Ikoma:</strong> "My teaming with Serizawa-san has been so successful, people almost forgot I can also wrestle and win singles matches. Puroresu-gun is here to break these molds and show fans that wrestlers won't be pidgeonholed into old school archetypes."</p><p> </p><p> This is how the rankings stand, updated after the show results:</p><p> Coast to Coast (Brody/Matsushita): 12</p><p> Puroresu-gun (Torii): 12</p><p> Seven Samurai (Funakoshi): 6</p>

Not sure if going all out affects this at all, but I'd be interested if anyone knows. How fast and up to what point, that depends on their hidden Destiny roll.</p><p> </p><p> Not sure if there's a correlation between "how much longer matches are" and "how much/fast stamina rises". As an example, if a worker gets tired after 6 minutes, will his stamina grow the same after an 8 minute match as it will after a 15 minute match? I think not, but can't say for sure.</p>
