Perks of having many gaijin who are over. Also because I have split them into various factions, instead of dumping them all in a single gaijin group.

Rarely, but if I ever bother to do it and run a promotion in the US or Mexico, I'll hire Ajax the Skull-Splitter and have him do a one night appearance as his Criatura de la Navidad alter ego.

Painfully true in TEW16. In the 2020 version he's loyal to BCG so he tends to stick around.

Here's a little fact you may not know... It's Jason Azaria

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Lionheart Tour Night 3 in Hiroshima, Chugoku Region Sun. W4 February 2021 181 Fans 1. Pillars of Puroresu (Mabuchi Furusawa, SUKI and Ryobe Uno) defeated Dawnguard (Yoshinaka Taku, Ichiro Mitsukuri and Koyo Kinoshita) in 15:40 when SUKI pinned Koyo Kinoshita with a Mountain SUKI. [63] The opening match showcased more of BCG's up and coming stars in the form of Uno and the team of Mitsukuri & Kinoshita. A great match, no less thanks to their veteran teammates and a win for the Pillars team. 2. Destiny Bond (Black Iron Corps and Rokuemon Matsushita) defeated Okamoto-gun (Inejiro Yoshizawa, Noritoshi Miura and Yoshisada Matsuzawa) in 18:02 when Rokuemon Matsushita pinned Yoshisada Matsuzawa with an One-Handed Choke Slam. [58] Destiny Bond were able to score a win over a team featuring both their future opponents for the BCG World Tag Team titles, thus building momentum as contenders in front of their showdown. 3. Ragnarok defeated Giant Brody in 14:48 by pinfall with a Death of the Gods. Ragnarok wins the Medallion #3. [55] Last of the three Medallions was claimed by Ragnarok, meaning two of the three are now in the hands of Dread Army. Giant Brody put on a valiant effort in this hoss match but ultimately fell to the hungrier youngster. 4. Tanyu Toshusai and Zeshin Makioka defeated Funakoshi and Kadonomaro Kamisaka in 18:55 when Zeshin Makioka pinned Kadonomaro Kamisaka with a Z-Bomb. [75] Funakoshi and Kamisaka looked as though they've been teaming forever even if this was their first time as a tag team, but it still wasn't enough against Toshusai and Makioka who looked unstoppable on this night. 5. The Horror defeated Big Bruiser Findlay and Animal Harker in 29:28 when Monstrosity pinned Animal Harker with an Apocalypse Blast. [70] No strangers to each other from back when they used to team as The Wild Ones, Findlay and Harker reunited to take on The Horror. That was all the joy they'd get in the night however, as The Horror outwrestled and outlasted them to get the pin, narrowly avoiding a time limit draw. </div>

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #01FCFE; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> SWF Supreme TV Results [Tues. Wk. 1, Feb 2020] From the diary of Samantha W. Fitzworthy The first episode of Supreme TV for February was broadcast live from Evanovich Riverside in Trenton, New Jersey, much like the first episode for the month prior. This time the venue wasn’t sold out but it came close to it, with 9.657 tickets sold. Ratings were up however, from last month’s 2.95 to a 3.15, meaning 2.369.366 people tuned in to watch it. Between the drop in size classification and some less than exciting TV, I was a little surprised at the numbers, but I’d wager the extra eyeballs on Uprising do translate to some of those people being curious enough to check out Supreme TV as well and if we’re being honest, SWF did have the best headline Pay Per View match last month so that might account for it. The show began as usual with Rocky Golden out to talk and the SWF World Heavyweight champion addressed last week’s events, when Scythe showed up at the contract signing. This brought out Remo to join him in the ring, the big man saying regardless of the unsigned contract and Scythe’s shenanigans, he will not be denied his title match. This fired up Rocky and had him comeback with a challenge to both Remo and Scythe, saying he’s willing to put the title on the line in a triple threat match against both of them and take care of two birds with one stone. Fans cheered at the idea and I am to understand that the story here is that Rocky may have gotten a bit overconfident putting himself in a position where his chances of losing the belt were greatly increased. Hot start to the show and an 87 for the opening segment. The announcing team jumped on the opportunity to dissect the opening and discuss how awesome a potential three way match between Rocky, Remo and Scythe would be, before hyping up the fact that Scythe would be in action for tonight’s main event, where he would be taking on Masked Patriot. At first I thought they were going to milk that three way match for all it’s worth, but it was actually a nice segway into hyping the main event of the night, so a 62 for all this. First match of the night was a trios match between The Rat Pack and Brandon James with Best of the Best backing him up. This built on James’ feud with Starr and his lackeys, while also positioning Gilmore and Morgan as a formidable up and coming tag team. The six men were given some twelve minutes to tell a story and they did so to a satisfying degree, especially James who played up his head injury messing with his ability to communicate effectively with his teammates, before The Crippler showed up to attack James, setting him up for the Hollywood Hammer and a pin from Starr. Mr. Eisen rated the match as a 64, I would expect more given the names in this but what can you do. More announcer chatter before we headed into the first commercial break, this time Fry, Garcia and Chase talked about Lenny Brown wanting another shot at Des Davids’ SWF North American title. With Spencer Spade having made his intentions clear in regards to the title, he and Brown would be facing off later tonight to determine which man is really worth getting a title shot. Pretty decent breakdown of the storyline and hype of the match, this would be a 57. Coming back from commercial, Brett Biggins was set to face Dominic DeSousa. You might remember that last week Joe Sexy offered to take the L.A. native under his wing so he was present in this match as his manager and ringside coach, pink playboy robe and everything. I’m pretty sure SWF has tested the waters with those two during house shows, because they don’t just seem like a good fit in terms of characters, they’re also excellent as a unit in a way that can’t quite be put to words. It was fun to see Sexy in front of a camera again and he still somehow managed to not make this about himself but DeSousa, who by the way got the win over Biggins thanks to his Widow Maker finisher. This match got a 52 from Mr. Eisen, who said he sees a lot of mileage in the DeSousa-Sexy pairing. Back at the interview zone, Eric Eisen tried to get a word from The Crippler as to why he got involved in the opening match. I think The Crippler wasn’t quite sure where he wanted to go with this promo, either that he had loose ends with James after last week’s fatal four way or that he’s just out to hurt people, but fortunately James saved it by jumping in and challenging the man to a tag match next week, him and a partner of his choosing against Crippler and Hollywood Bret Starr. It’s nice to see the interference being used to further a storyline or set up a future match instead of just being random or a cheap way to justify who won, 66 for this promo as we headed into the second commercial break of the night. Somehow I thought Southern Comfort had faced The Pain Alliance before, but after checking my past notes I realized it wasn’t them but The Dallas Cowboys, back when Dillon and Ranger were a team. Can’t say I was thrilled by this match, but there was nothing terrible about it either. Guess it was just decent without much more to it. Dillon got the pin over Big Smack Scott with a Crackdown and Southern Comfort’s ascent in the tag ranks continued, with this match raking in a 56. So Mainstream Hernandez is a great talker, we all knew that, but he’s on a roll with that new catchphrase of his and fans seemingly can’t get enough of him. It is no surprise then that he was given time on the mic to talk about nothing in particular when Robbie Retro stormed the scene with his disco dancing moves. Despite being a heel last time I checked, Hernandez didn’t snob or attack Retro, instead he got swept up by his hypnotizing hip gyrations and ended up joining in as they danced their way out of the frame in a pretty entertaining segment that Mr. Eisen rated as a 70. Lenny Brown versus Spencer Spade as promised, good to see two young talents given a chance to elevate themselves and show what they can do. The story here, as mentioned, was about who was good enough to challenge for the SWF North American title and they both went pedal to the metal here. It did help that they were given almost fifteen minutes for this match and for the love of me I have no idea how they managed to maintain such a crazy pace bell to bell. I’ll admit that Spade did seem like the more well rounded one compared to Brown’s one-dimensional brawling, but the in-ring action was great and fans were so into this it elevated the viewing experience. Little let down by the finish of Dulce Moreno having to interfere to distract the referee so that Spade could hit a low blow and then his Supreme Stunner for the pin, but I guess it’s part of his gimmick and a way to keep the loser somewhat protected. Match of the night hands down at 72. Primus Allen was backstage cutting a promo when a furious Lenny Brown barged in, demanding the mic so he could talk about how he was robbed and it’s him, not Spade, who deserves to compete for the SWF North American title. Coming back through the curtain, Spencer Spade caught wind of the action and joined the scene, telling Brown he had his shot at gold and blew it. Spade added that he’s proven time and again he’s more deserving and he proved it again tonight, questioning what Brown has done to get such preferential treatment over everyone else with another title shot. This seemed to finally snap Allen, who attacked Lenny Brown from behind and laid him out, all while Spade was cheering him on. I’ll admit I didn’t expect this to be as good as it was, Mr. Eisen rated it a 79 as we headed into the final commercial break of the night. Main event time and I’ve already spoiled that Brown vs Spade was the match of the night. That’s not to say Scythe and Patriot weren’t good, quite the opposite since they even seemed to really click together as opponents and Scythe even hit his hot new “Reaper’s Scythe” lariat for a great reaction and a near fall. This just didn’t have the intensity and urgency of the match that preceded it and let’s be honest, if a three way title match was announced at the start of the show, we all knew Scythe was winning this one, which ended up as a 68. I think Matty Faith is starting to find his legs as a booker and it showed this week. January was largely about wrapping up the stuff that landed on his lap and he did so at When Hell Freezes Over while also setting up the next stories he wants to tell. This was the first time that I felt the show had a pacing and a direction instead of just being haphazardly thrown together matches featuring people feuding, so overall I’d rate it as a 73, best score to date excluding the episode right after the Pay Per View. </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #01FCFE; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";">Quick results Scythe def.

W4 February 2021 156 Fans 1. Dread Army (FEAR, The Horror and Atto Savage) defeated Bruiser Brigade (Big Bruiser Findlay, Giant Brody and Dallas Demolition Crew) in 16:07 when Atto Savage submitted Animal Harker with a Savage Claw. [59] Two nil so far in the tour, with Dread Army scoring another victory against the Bruiser Brigade. Losing his Medallion match the night prior seems to have lit a fire under Savage and he made up for it by submitting Harker here. 2. Mabuchi Furusawa and SUKI drew with Yoshinaka Taku and Naozane Goto in 20:00 when the time limit expired. [65] An indecisive match between Pillars of Puroresu and Dawnguard that was nevertheless exciting to watch. Naozane Goto had a chance to show he can hang in with BCG's finest and although his in-ring performance wasn't exactly up to par, he wasn't terrible either and proved he has the stamina for longer matches. 3. Kadonomaro Kamisaka defeated Suguru Emoto in 15:46 by submission with a Triangle Choke. Kadonomaro Kamisaka wins the Medallion #2. [45] Emoto was another Dawnguard blue chipper who showed off the progress he's made wrestling for SAISHO, but he was unable to wrap it up with a win and "Serene K" tapped him out to win the second Challengers Series Medallions. 4. Tanyu Toshusai and Zeshin Makioka defeated Funakoshi and Motoyuki Miyake in 17:40 when Zeshin Makioka pinned Motoyuki Miyake with a Z-Bomb. [68] Destiny Bond scored the equalizer over Seven Samurai following their Night 1 defeat. Miyake's inexperience was what made him pay in the end and a Z-Bomb from Makioka flattened him for the count. 5. Okamoto-gun (Razan Okamoto, Inejiro Yoshizawa and Noritoshi Miura) defeated Destiny Bond (Rokuemon Matsushita, Azumamaro Kita and Fujio Narahashi) in 28:40 when Inejiro Yoshizawa pinned Fujio Narahashi with a Yoshizawa Bomb. [61] Miura's return from injury came with a victory and the Okamoto-gun trio ended the night on a high note. Black Iron Corps left the ring holding their TagMania cups in the air, a reminder of them being next in line to challenge for the BCG World Tag Team titles. </div>

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #6e1812; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Beneath the City A night to remember Brother Grimm made an entrance to kick off the show and welcomed the sold out crowd of 800 fans, before hyping some of the night's big matches. Grimm talked about his decision to only hold a major show once per season (so four each year) instead of a monthly one since GSW now has a weekly television show. According to Grimm, this would allow these shows to feel even bigger and tonight, GSW was primed to deliver just that. (Rating: 71) Track 1: State of Destruction & Lil' Henry © vs Psycho Circus (Magwitch & Coulrophobia) for the GSW Hottest Crew titles True to Grimm's promise, bloody chaos was what the opening match delivered as the defending champions faced off against the clown crew that's been haunting them. Psycho Circus weren't here to wrestle, they'd come to fight and they'd brought weapons to swing against their much larger opponents. Tags went straight out the window in this mess and it turned into a de facto tornado tag, with all six men fighting simultaneously. State of Destruction and Lil' Henry weren't frugal when it came to violence either, literally turning the tables once Boneyard chokeslammed Magwitch through a table. This pushed Coulrophobia to overcompensate for being one man short and Hellech pulled out all the stops when he climbed up all the way to the DJ booth to hit a sick moonsault, taking out State of Destruction just as they were about to hit their tag finisher on Pierrot. A recovered Magwitch tried to rush in and capitalize on the chaos, but Henry escaped the attempted Stump Piledriver and hit his own Double-Handed Choke Bomb on the psycho clown, driving him on top of the pile of fallen bodies before rolling him aside for the pin. (Rating: 44) The champ is here A backstage promo from Fro Sure aired next, the champion recapping his rivalry with Sayeed Ali and playing up the East-West aspect of their upcoming title clash. (Rating: 73) Track 2: Black Diamond & Jo Baker vs Bizarro & La Estrella If not for the storytelling and hard hitting action, this bout would have probably played out as a comedy match built around Estrella's tense relationship with all three females. Instead, Diamond and Baker turned it into a brawl to get things started off a serious foot, before their opponents picked up the pace with some flashy high flying that popped the audience. Surprisingly enough, the two Mexican stars seemed to work unnaturally well as a team, which made the finish even more impactful as Bizarro refused the tag, leaving a winded Estrella to take a Belly To Belly Suplex and the pin, courtesy of Black Diamond, (Rating: 36) Incoming Mexican Hardcore Killers were shown next, driving their fancy lowrider to the parking lot of the Warehouse, Tag Team titles prominently displayed resting on the back seat. The champions drove around in search of a parking spot and finally found one, right next to another lowrider, this one painted bright yellow and displaying a large crown on the hood cover. Seeing this apparently shocked E-Z and Villano, who dropped their cool demeanor and quickly parked the car, hopping out to rush into the building. (Rating: 40) Track 3: Los Guerilleros vs E-Soteric, Hustle Muvva & Tavon Blake Jr Hot off their recent formation and all about legit wrestling, E-Soteric, Muvva and TBJ took control early in the match and delivered some high impact action, though it earned them little cheer from the fans who seemed to be more behind the Hispanic trio of Los Guerilleros. This led to more than one potential comebacks but Galindo's latest one was shut down hard once E-Soteric whipped him head first onto a chair stuck in the corner, then topped it with a Double Arm DDT for the pin. (Rating: 48) Reunited Even after the match was over, the winners weren't done and ganged up to put the boots on Galindo. MexiCain and LatiNoFear were nowhere to be seen and it all looked lost until... Rudy Velasquez and Jesus Chavez ran down to the ring to make the save! The reaction was probably more about the save and less because fans recognized Galindo's allies from FCW, but the fact remains: months after Galindo walked out of FCW, the Latino Kings have been reunited in GSW! (Rating: 41) Talking Tactics Frantic Ali and Deaf Touch were interviewed next in regards to their upcoming three way match for the GSW West Coast title. The story here has been that the two men proved to be allies after the match was arranged, which was the reason for Stash getting added to it, but this also provided a believable reason for Ali to speak for Touch (who, as GSW will know, is legitimately deaf). Ali had some hard words for both Stash and Grimm messing with this match and making it even harder for him to retain his title, but he added that he and Touch would work together to remove Stash from the equation so they could wrestle the original one on one match between them. (Rating: 41) Track 4: Frantic Ali © vs Deaf Touch vs Raheem Stash for the GSW West Coast title Just as promised, Ali and Touch immediately teamed up to take down Stash but that's easier said than done and the big Jamaican put up a hard fight, setting the tone for a (no pun intended) frantic, fast paced match. Even after he took enough damage to get knocked out of the ring, Stash decided to forego catching his breath and quickly got back into the match, denying his two opponents their wish of wrestling each other. If nothing else, this proved that Stash can be more than a lumbering big man and after a surprisingly solid performance, he was able to stack Deaf Touch on top of Frantic Ali with a Standing Powerslam for a dominant win, becoming the new GSW West Coast champion. (Rating: 48) Track 5: Aces High vs Cali Slick in a Long Beach Street Fight With plenty of history behind them and documented chemistry between them, it was practically impossible for Aces and Slick to not knock it out of the park in this one. As was pointed out before both men made their entrances, the stipulation of the match meant not only no DQs or countounts (which is the standard in all GSW matches anyway) but also that falls would count anywhere and there was going to be a ten instead of a three count. The foundation was there for absolute brutality and that's what the two men delivered, fighting in and out of the ring, all around the Warehouse, on top of the bar, up the stands, even in the restrooms for a brief moment. Aces had to throw everything and (quite literally) the restroom sink at Slick but his relentless offence paid off and in the end he was able to hit the Dead Man's Hand on the stage where rappers usually perform to score the ten count pinfall and the decisive victory over Slick in the rubber match between them. (Rating: 52) Respect Aces High celebrated his victory like a madman, but once the initial rush of adrenaline wore off, he turned his attention to Slick who was being attended to by the doctor on standby. Aces decided to be the bigger man and helped Slick back to his feet, with Slick maintaining the grip afterwards and turning it into a handshake in a show of respect. The two men ended hugging it out in an emotional moment that had fans cheering for both of them, two warriors leaving it all out in the ring but through the process going from hatred to mutual respect. Whoever said GSW only promotes violence without a good message? (Rating: 37) Track 6: Fro Sure © vs Sayeed Ali for the GSW American title The main event lacked any flashy stipulations but that didn't stop the two participants from turning it into a crazy brawl in and out of the ring. Ali took full advantage of his size and power advantage to bully the champion around, with Fro selling the offence to garner sympathy from the fans. The occasional karate chop or eye poke allowed Fro to get some of his own offence in but Ali would power his way through to regain control of the fight, until Fro was able to dodge an incoming spear and send Ali head first onto an exposed turnbuckle. Bleeding from the point of impact, Ali continued the fight but the blood in his eyes made him miss more often than not, thus allowing Fro to make his proper comeback and drive him to the mat with a Sure Thing piledriver for the pin, marking his second successful defence of the GSW American title. (Rating: 61) </div> Apologies for the format, fontmeme changed their embedding system so I can no longer add that slick looking graffiti font.

W4 February 2021 790 Fans 1. Dawnguard (Bunrakuken Torii, Yoshinaka Taku and Suguru Emoto) defeated Pillars of Puroresu (Mabuchi Furusawa, SUKI and Ryobe Uno) in 15:43 when Suguru Emoto pinned Ryobe Uno with a Dangerous Brainbuster. [67] Emoto and Uno joined the teams of their respective groups for a match meant mainly to showcase the two youngsters. In that vein, they were also involved in the finish trying to hit each other with their finishers, Emoto getting the best of Uno in the end. 2. Dread Army (FEAR, The Horror and Ragnarok) defeated Bruiser Brigade (Big Bruiser Findlay, Giant Brody and Dallas Demolition Crew) in 15:43 when Ragnarok pinned Texas Hangman with a Death of the Gods. [64] Eight man tag next, a true hoss fight between the two big man factions of BCG. Dread Army chased the pin over Findlay for a potential title shot, but eventually had to settle for felling Texas Hangman. 3. Naozane Goto defeated Atto Savage in 14:33 by pinfall with a Goto Slam. Naozane Goto wins the Medallion #1. [49] Dread Army weren't as fortunate in the Challengers Series Medallion match though, as Naozane Goto overcame Atto Savage to claim the first of three amulets. His position is anything but secure however, as he'll also have to defend his prize later in the tour. 4. Black Iron Corps defeated Inejiro Yoshizawa and Razan Okamoto in 20:20 when Fujio Narahashi pinned Inejiro Yoshizawa with a Black Iron Lariat. [62] Still suffering from his broken ribs, Miura was kept off the show and Razan Okamoto took his place. A talented singles competitor, Okamoto's skills were not enough as Yoshizawa wasn't used to teaming with him and was left exposed on more than one occasion, leading to him getting flattened with a Black Iron Lariat. 5. Funakoshi and Blast Ikoma drew with Tanyu Toshusai and Zeshin Makioka in 30:00 when the time limit expired. [78] Big fight in the main event but an inconclusive outcome between Seven Samurai and Destiny Bond. </div>

Thank you all for your love, I'm very much enjoying this save and intend to keep it going, but things like these are always a motivation booster. Congratulations to CGN91 also, with whom I share the prize. He deserves it more than me, as his White Canvas Grappling diary back in the TEW16 days provided the blueprint for how I present tour shows in my Puroresu diaries, including this one.

This. To me, CZCW is the CVerse equivalent to PWG: hot indy in California, several masked workers, fast paced high flying action.

Yay you're back!

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far...
