Ouch It's funny when you think of it though, our UCs are all at different stages. Historian just starting, Matty Faith floundering at the midcard and Alicia Strong already a main eventer. Only time will tell how this plays out...

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Fri. W4 June 2021 Kobe Football Stadium, Kansai Region, Japan Attendance: 28.133, Rating: 75, Views: 129.786 (0.17 on Shogun TV) Pillars of Puroresu (Danjuro Kikuchi, Yutaka Ogata, Ritsu Ibata) vs Seven Samurai (Sojuro Sen, Kadonomaro Kamisaka, Motoyuki Miyake) The opening match featured an interesting setup for both teams. On one hand, Kikuchi, who is usually limited to a lesser role within Pillars of Puroresu, had the opportunity to lead youngsters Ogata and Ibata, all the while looking great in comparison instead of his usual multi man role as whipping boy. On the other hand, the Seven Samurai was a balanced-out mix of the veteran Sen, Kamisaka in his prime and young Miyake on the rise. While the action was decent given the levels of those involved, it was certainly sub-par compared to the average BCG standards, making this more or less the standard undercard multi man match many fans wish they could just skip through, with Miyake getting the pin over Ibata in the end. In a poor match, Sojuro Sen, Kadonomaro Kamisaka and Motoyuki Miyake defeated Pillars of Puroresu (Danjuro Kikuchi, Yutaka Ogata and Ritsu Ibata) in 11:43 when Motoyuki Miyake pinned Ritsu Ibata with a Knock Out Kick. [59] Dawnguard (Naozane Goto, Suguru Emoto, Ichiro Mitsukuri, Koyo Kinoshita) vs Dread Army (FEAR, The Horror, Ragnarok) Dread Army were the veterans here, both individually and as a team, whereas the Dawnguard quartet was composed of less experienced talent, still bouncing between BCG and SAISHO. The underdogs walked into the bout with something to prove and they had the fire to do it. Goto’s power was also a much needed component against the massive heavyweights of Dread Army, though Emoto, Mitsukuri and Kinoshita did bring a ton of strikes while also showing some great capacity to absorb damage. The big story however came in the finish, when the former sumo competitor hit Ragnarok with a Goto Slam for the pin. Dawnguard won the match while FEAR and The Horror ganged up to put the boots on the loser, effectively kicking Ragnarok out of the group and possibly the company, given the Icelander’s repeated inability to get over with the fans. In a decent match, Naozane Goto, Suguru Emoto, Ichiro Mitsukuri and Koyo Kinoshita defeated Dread Army (FEAR, Abomination, Monstrosity and Ragnarok) in 9:47 when Naozane Goto pinned Ragnarok with a Goto Slam. [68] Black Iron Corps vs Morimasa Kato & Shimpei Hirose Kato and Hirose were the outsiders in this tournament so for the last night of the tour they teamed up against the tag team champions. Surprisingly enough, this random pairing proved to have great chemistry together and they gave Black Iron Corps a run for their money. Perhaps the champions were taking it easy since their belts weren’t on the line, but Kato and Hirose had a point to prove and perhaps a permanent spot on the BCG roster to claim if they managed to score the win here. This setup added unexpected drama and intensity to the bout, with Kato and Hirose pushing the champs to a figurative corner, which in turn brought out a sense of urgency in them and saw them push for the comeback. Once the Black Iron Lariat connected, the counting was only to seal the deal. In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Black Iron Corps defeated Morimasa Kato and Shimpei Hirose in 12:08 when Fujio Narahashi pinned Morimasa Kato with a Black Iron Lariat. [69] Bruiser Brigade (Big Bruiser Findlay, Giant Brody, Texas Hangman) vs Okamoto-gun (Razan Okamoto, Inejiro Yoshizawa, Noritoshi Miura) On a surface level, this looked like another throwaway undercard multi man match, but it was masterfully built on the rivalry between Findlay and Okamoto. Not only because it was Findlay that Okamoto beat to become champion, but also because with no Bruiser Brigade representatives in the Sole Survivor main event match, this was practically Findlay’s only chance to get a pin over Okamoto and earn himself a shot at the title before The Lion’s Roar. All three members of Bruiser Brigade made their intentions clear straight from the start of the match, isolating Okamoto on their corner and working over his back, the very same spot that Findlay had injured in the past to sideline Okamoto. No stranger to a role as a fighting underdog, Okamoto took a beating but escaped for the tag, allowing Yoshizawa and Miura to use their competence together to turn the tide. The champion couldn’t stay out forever though and even if he did, the gaijins weren’t above circling the ring and attacking him anyway, a tactic that again turned the tide in their favor until the former tag champs hit a double splash to the outside to take out everyone. This spot marked their comeback and by isolating the least experienced Taxas Hangman, Miura & Yoshizawa hit him with rapid fire alternating attacks until a Storm Rider laid him down for the count. In a decent match, Okamoto-gun (Razan Okamoto, Inejiro Yoshizawa and Noritoshi Miura) defeated Bruiser Brigade (Big Bruiser Findlay, Giant Brody and Texas Hangman) in 12:15 when Noritoshi Miura pinned Texas Hangman with a Storm Rider. [67] Challengers Series title match 20th Champion Atto Savage vs Challenger Blast Ikoma First singles match of the night and the change in gear was beyond obvious, the two competitors pulling out all the stops to deliver a bout that was one step above the undercard before. Ikoma opened up with a series of blistering strikes, which Savage absorbed before returning fire in equal measure. There wasn’t much technical skill on display here, just super stiff shots by two men who literally tried to bash each other’s skull and chest in. Ikoma seemed to have a fire lit under him as he sought to pull off back to back wins after knocking Savage out of the tournament to get in this match in the first place, while the champion fought for the equalizer and to retain the belt. Savage took a couple of great looking (given his size) suplexes from Ikoma but was able to block the Northern Lights Bomb on three separate occasions, the final one being when he burst out to lock in the Savage Claw and force Ikoma to submit. In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Atto Savage defeated Blast Ikoma in 20:22 by submission with a Savage Claw. Atto Savage makes defence number two of the BCG Challengers Series. [74] BCG National title match 2nd Champion Tanyu Toshusai vs Challenger Yoshinaka Taku Toshusai walked into this match with a damaged ego after Taku had managed to knock him out of the tournament, which was also the reason he was given a shot at the BCG National championship. Much like the previous contest, this was a down and dirty wrestling match but unlike it, there was a good dose of technical grappling involved between the strikes and bomb dropping. Of course, it took a while to get there since the match was off to a slow start, with both men sizing each other up and Toshusai taking every chance he had to slap his opponent, talk him down or otherwise insult him. Though proud, Taku did not get carried away by this, but instead responded with a smile, well aware that he’d gotten under the champion’s skin already. When the lockup finally happened, the chain wrestling on display was slick, Taku holding his own well enough to frustrate Toshusai, who got frustrated enough to back body drop his opponent to the outside in order to up the violence. The challenger’s head got smashed against the apron, the ring post and the barricade, Toshusai busting his opponent up in an unusual display of rage that is very unlike his regular smug demeanor. This had him carried away though and he charged right into a big boot, with Taku using the opening to hit a spinebuster on the floor and buy himself some time to recover. As the two men crawled back into the ring, the match escalated into hitting each other with big moves for near falls and it took a sequence of a powerbomb, a top rope splash and two consecutive Dangerous Brainbusters to finally put Taku away just a few minutes after the 45’ mark. In a bout that had great wrestling and good heat, Tanyu Toshusai defeated Yoshinaka Taku in 47:17 by pinfall with a Dangerous Brainbuster. Tanyu Toshusai makes defence number three of the BCG National title. [77] Sole Survivor match Bunrakuken Torii vs Funakoshi vs Rokuemon Matsushita vs SUKI The main event had that big fight feel, but it wasn’t all glamor. All four men bore the scars of the battles they had to go through to make it to this point, whether it was bruises or parts that had been taped up. This feeling was further pushed by the fact that neither competitor was off to a fast start, each one testing their opponents and trying to figure out how to conduct themselves in such a situation: who to focus on, who to avoid, how to score a pin or submission without others breaking it up. Even the usual “gang up on the big man” tactic wasn’t that obvious a choice, since Matsushita was the least experienced of the four. What ended up happening was long series of strikes and moves, each man landing a few before they were cut off by another. This intricate chaining together of spots started off slow and sluggish, then gradually and steadily escalated into longer combos, harder shots and flashier moves as the match progressed, making it look like some video where two different matches had been layered on top of each other. Simple but effective storytelling that wasn’t as easy as it may sound to pull off, on top of the match going on for almost an hour before the finishing sequence. Torii hit his Flying Forearm off the apron onto Funakoshi on the outside, then got knocked off by a charging Matsushita. SUKI saw his opening and threw a Mountain SUKI on the big man, immediately transitioning into the SUKI Special III for the tap. In a bout that had great wrestling and good heat, SUKI defeated Funakoshi, Rokuemon Matsushita and Bunrakuken Torii in 51:46 when SUKI submitted Rokuemon Matsushita with a SUKI Special III. SUKI wins the BCG Sole Survivor. [78] Yoshifusa Maeda presented the Sole Survivor trophy to the winner as streamers and confetti rained down. SUKI got to deliver the go home speech and promised to deliver the goods again on the main event of The Lion’s Roar against Razan Okamoto for the BCG World title.</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";">Post show interviews and comments SUKI: "Tonight I proved I can go the distance. Razan Okamoto, keep that title warm for me until The Lion's Roar." Toshusai: "Tonight I taught that insect Taku a lesson in humility. He embarrassed me during the tournament, but now he'll think twice before doing it again." Okamoto: "I took a beating for sure, Bruiser Brigade were out to get me tonight but I'm still standing. SUKI thinks he can do better, but how can he hope to keep me down?" FEAR: "There is no room in Dread Army for weaklings!"</div>

Ah, really making waves then if Steph Blake agreed to show up, kudos!

Same here.

Harker thanked the fans and assured journalists there is no bad blood between him and the company, but the decision was his alone as he wants to work a lighter schedule and spend more time with his family. ~ The mere scope of the Sole Survivor 64 man tournament left no room for BCG to run the usual gauntlet of Challengers Medallions matches, however it was decided that since Blast Ikoma was able to knock the champion Atto Savage out of the race but not make it to the final four, he would be getting a shot at gold instead. Savage said this is going to be a completely different situation than the tournament, whereas Ikoma reaffirmed his belief that he can repeat his feat and pin or submit the champion yet again. ~ It was a similar case with Yoshinaka Taku, who beat the BCG National champion Tanyu Toshusai but was eliminated in the final stage by SUKI. Toshusai appeared shaken by the mere reminder of him losing that match, before the shock turned into rage and he promised to teach Taku a lesson when he makes him regret what he did. ~ The four to headline the show will be Bunrakuken Torii, Funakoshi, Rokuemon Matsushita and SUKI. Representing four different factions, the four men will face off in the final test of skill and endurance after a gruelling tournament. The winner gets to face Razan Okamoto for the BCG World title, in a match that will headline the grandest show of the year, The Lion's Roar. </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Fri.

W4 June 2021 1.000 Fans (Super No Vacancy) This was the final night before the main show, sold out well in advance. Four matches would be on the card, with the winner of each securing a spot in the Sole Survivor four corners elimination match that will headline the big show, with the winner earning a chance to face the BCG World champion in the main event of the year's grandest show, The Lion's Roar. 1. Rokuemon Matsushita defeated Blast Ikoma in 22:30 by pinfall with an One-Handed Choke Slam. [69] Given the importance of the card's matches, it shouldn't come as a surprise that the opener went on for well over twenty minutes. Matsushita's stamina was tested along with his resilience, while Ikoma tried to withstand the blows and keep pushing. It was a hellacious battle, but on this night Matsushita was an unstoppable force of nature and he got the win, deservingly earning his spot in the Final Four. 2. Bunrakuken Torii defeated Zeshin Makioka in 18:04 by pinfall with a Spinning Forearm Smash. [78] Makioka has had surprising success and longevity in BCG and this tournament was no exception. Torii met him head on and sparks flew as the Machine Gun sought to redeem himself after failing to beat Toshusai for the National title the month prior. The onslaught paid off, with Makioka's chest slowly turning red, then blue before he collapsed after a Spinning Forearm Smash, losing the match to the leader of Dawnguard. 3. SUKI defeated Yoshinaka Taku in 17:44 by submission with a SUKI Special III. [75] Taku entered this match with a handicap, the exhaustion and damage from his battle against Toshusai in the previous round evident. SUKI's killer instinct not only saw this early, he zoned in on the damaged areas to press his advantage, until he tapped out his opponent with the SUKI Special III. 4. Funakoshi defeated Big Bruiser Findlay in 30:28 by pinfall with a Butterfly Backbreaker. [67] It's always a barn-burner when Funakoshi and Findlay meet one on one and the main event was no exception. Two hard hitting, tough guys who both deserved to be in the Sole Survivor match but only one would be making it there. Given their finishers of choice, it was no surprise both men tried to soften up each other's backs, although Funakoshi was more technical about it utilizing submissions and focused strikes, whereas Findlay used backbreakers and plain old slams to do the damage. As the match escalated and the competitors began to drop bombs on each other, fans were into each spot, counted every near fall and when Funakoshi finally held Findlay down for the three count, they exploded in cheers to end the night on a high note. </div>

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #01FCFE; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> SWF Uprising Results [Fri. Wk. 4, Feb 2020] From the diary of Samantha W. Fitzworthy Uprising wrapped up the month of February with a show in Fort Wayne, Indiana. 7.995 paying fans were let into the building, with NetStream reporting 3.952.535 viewers watching it online. Going into the show, we knew it would be headlined by Unleashed Awesomeness versus ZWB and West Coast Connection so that’s how things began. BJ O’Neil led RBB and The Awesomeness to the ring for a promo. Not much going on besides building hype for the match, although Hawaiian Crush and the tag team titles were brought up with The Awesomeness still gunning for gold. Always entertaining to see these guys talk, a 77 to start the show off strong. We then had our first match of the night, Lenny Brown and Steven Parker against The Domination, established guys who recently teamed up against regular tag team trying to establish themselves. Some decent wrestling, though the faces had to do most of the heavy lifting on the entertainment front and a win for the good guys after Parker hit the Future Shock on Chill. 52 ain't bad for this one, Brown and Parker had to carry their opponents but facing lower card guys made them look great in comparison. The real storytelling happened after the match, when a furious Kristen Pearce got on the mic to say she doesn't manage losers, before resigning as The Domination's manager. I've said in the past how this was probably hinted at and how she deserves to be around better talent. Domination sure need a manager but that doesn't mean they should drag her down, because she sure as hell hasn't managed to elevate them so far. Mr. Eisen gave this angle a 47, which I think is fair. Next up was another segment between natural teammates who somehow can't get along, Atom Smasher and Rogue. This was the usual arguing, done with more comedy and less intensity in mind, which I have to say was pretty refreshing. Rogue somehow managed to convince Smasher to team up again and try to make this work out, which I guess furthers their storyline. If this is built on lies and manipulation, it's not a question of if but when they'll implode. For now, they came off their segment with a hearty 84. Emma Chase interviewed Xavi Ferrera next, a chance for the Puerto Rican star to brag and talk down ZWB as a "has been". I'd say odds are in favour of him interfering in the main event, though his promo got a decent enough reaction as fans warm up to him to yield a 61 from Mr. Eisen. Charger Siaki continued his path of destruction, his latest victim being Harry Allen. I get that he's popular enough to put on TV and talented enough to carry Siaki, but the irony of having another former TCW star squashed just wasn't lost on me. Still, Allen managed to get a 45 match out of Siaki before taking the pin. Duane Fry had Robbie Wright backstage for an interview next, the King of Charisma acting like he never lost last week's match just because Jungle Lord pinned Justin Sensitive instead of himself. Seeing him play the oblivious self absorbed heel was more entertaining than I expected and Fry really elevated this to another level, so 78 is what Mr. Eisen gave it. We then went via "live satellite link" to an -obviously pretaped- vignette of Ana Garcia trying to follow Ekuma and Weatherfield as they visited Adams in the hospital in order to get an update on his status. Instead of the usual "reporter trying to get the scoop" gig, we had the Hawaiians welcoming her in (nice character showcase, by the way) and Adams actually cutting a short promo about feeling better and returning soon. 63 for this one. I had a feeling this match would be reserved for a pay per view, but perhaps it's first contact and we're getting the feud-ender in a PPV, or maybe they're building towards a singles Dillon-Ranger match. Either way, this was heavy on the storytelling given the history between the two teams and the fact it was the first one after The Mission turned heel. They're also the #1 contenders for the tag titles so of course they got the win, although Faith cheated to get it, thus keeping the door open for a potential rematch. Mr. Eisen wasn't thrilled and gave this a 65. Des Davids then showed up, who hasn't been seen since his match at Nothing to Lose. The SWF North American champion cut a promo on Steven Parker, saying he should stick to tag team wrestling alongside Lenny Brown; they seem to be doing well for themselves and he's beaten them both when they stepped up to challenge him. His barbs elicited some loud reactions from the fans, solid 88 for Des' promo. A trios match then for the usual TV main event chaos, which I hoped would be contained and not end up as a no contest due to the ref losing control. Unleashed Awesomeness got the match started strong with their usual mix of flashy moves, charisma and shenanigans, before Slick and Fro were able to ground and pound them. James Prudence then showed up to taunt and distract them, throwing Fro off his game and allowing the heels to regain control, with RBB literally throwing Fro off, from the top rope and through the announcers' desk. This was fast paced and frantic all the way to the end, but it seems that Slick got caught up in the moment and thought he was back in Cali, because he hit Stardust with a nasty backbreaker that saw him twist a bit sideways before impact, to the point where I'm told he cracked a rib or two. My prediction of Xavi Ferrera interfering did not come true, which was probably for the best, though ZWB's team still took the loss after Slick got hit with the Cannonball Run. Given how the West Coast Connection are still relatively unknown to the wider SWF audience, it's great this match was rated as a 64. For what Uprising is supposed to be, this was a great episode at 74 that's bound to rope some former SWF back into the fold. They seem to be coping well after the loss of big names like Valiant and Lau, which in turn gives younger guys on the rise more TV time to make their name. </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #01FCFE; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";">Quick results Unleashed Awesomeness def.

W4 June 2021 1.000 Fans (Super No Vacancy) 1. Rokuemon Matsushita defeated Giant Brody in 15:08 by pinfall with an One-Handed Choke Slam. [68] A hard hitting clash between two of the biggest men on the BCG roster, this one got fans hyped as soon as the show began. Brody and Matsushita got through the pushing and shoving real quick at the start, skipping the usual shoulder blocks and tests of strength in favor of a proper wrestling match. Matsushita ended up winning, which sends him to the final round of Night 10 to face Blast Ikoma. 2. SUKI defeated Motoyuki Miyake in 12:28 by submission with a SUKI Special III. [69] Not many perhaps expected Miyake to make it this far and it's a testament to his success that he outlasted names like Morimasa Kato and Azumamaro Kita. As good as his run was, he just couldn't get past a fired up SUKI, though he did have the fighting spirit to make this a great match as he bravely fought on against his ultimate demise. 3. Funakoshi defeated FEAR in 17:47 by pinfall with a Butterfly Backbreaker. [72] Arguably the Lionheart's toughest test so far in the tournament, facing FEAR took a great toll out of the leader of Seven Samurai. Combining wits with physical dominance, FEAR almost had the match won on more than one occasion, but Funakoshi's heroic effort saw him push on till the end and he is now looking to face Big Bruiser Findlay for a spot in the Sole Survivor match. 4. Yoshinaka Taku defeated Tanyu Toshusai in 27:55 by pinfall with a Full Nelson Bomb. [72] Yoshi Taku had the deck stacked against him in the main event. He needed a miracle and that's exactly what he got against the BCG National champion. This victory not only sends Taku to the finals to face off against SUKI, it also gives him the right to challenge the leader of Destiny Bond for his title in the near future. </div>

W3 June 2021 300 Fans (Super No Vacancy) 1. Big Bruiser Findlay defeated Shimpei Hirose in 12:10 by pinfall with a Powerbomb. [59] The next stage of the tournament is scheduled to be split between two nights and it started with a bang as Shimpei Hirose's run ended at the hands of Big Bruiser Findlay. A short but exciting bout that saw Hirose kick out of an Atomic Spinebuster, which in turn forced Findlay to top it up with a Powerbomb to get the pin. 2. Bunrakuken Torii defeated Gidayu Katou in 11:47 by pinfall with a Spinning Forearm Smash. [64] Much like Hirose before him, Gidayu Katou had a great run which ended here at the hands of a former world champion and current faction leader. No shame in Katou's defeat, a fact evidenced by Torii giving him a slight nod of respect after the match before leaving the ring. 3. Blast Ikoma defeated Atto Savage in 18:19 by submission. [60] Ikoma is often overlooked and beating the Challengers Series champion here was a stark reminder of him being a dangerous man between the ropes. Savage put on a fight but Ikoma outsmarted him by working the arm to weaken the threat of the Savage Claw, eventually using all that to get a tap via armbar. 4. Zeshin Makioka defeated Fujio Narahashi in 18:14 by pinfall with a Z-Bomb. [70] A true wrecking ball throughout the tournament, Makioka bulldozed his way in the main event to push through to the next round. Another great singles performance by Narahashi, who ends his run one step ahead of his teammate. </div>

I don't always hire Carter, but when I do, he usually comes as a package deal with Dead Man Walken.

Dunno, I kinda laughed when I got a regen of Dukie Skinner under the name of Long Lesnar

I did a Road to Glory game using the 97 database. Hired L.W.A. during my first roster expansion for dat 90s "edginess". Corrine White kept causing trouble and quit within less than a year, then left the business altogether after a year or two. Meanwhile, Viv Jacobs evolved into a great talent, my first ever Women's champion, multi time champion and Hall of Famer, active still up to 2013. Polar opposites.

Bound to happen when using custom characters, but anyone following the diary most likely can keep up. What's more often confusing to me is the same people wrestling under a couple of different aliases, but it takes some getting used to.

W3 June 2021 167 Fans 1. Funakoshi defeated Danjuro Kikuchi in 10:09 by pinfall with a Butterfly Backbreaker. [61] A slow start to the show with a technical contest, before Funakoshi realized he was playing to Kikuchi's strengths. Once he switched to strikes, the leader of Seven Samurai was able to wrap this up with a win by the ten minute mark. 2. Shimpei Hirose defeated Isoruko Arakaki in 9:52 by submission with a Mountain Sleeper. [34] Hirose continues blazing his path in the tournament, his latest victim here being Arakaki. The big hard hitter fell victim to his own inexperience and Hirose managed to lock in the Mountain Sleeper for the tap. 3. Atto Savage defeated Roku Sotomura in 9:58 by submission with a Savage Claw. [52] Sotomura tried to keep things slow, matching his declining physical state, but Savage was just too strong and fired up to be held down to the mat. 4. Giant Brody defeated Naozane Goto in 10:28 by pinfall with a Single Handed Choke Slam. [58] Big man clash in this match, with Goto trying to turn it into a shoving contest. Using a good mix of his experience and agility, Brody was able to come out on top. 5. Yoshinaka Taku defeated Sojuro Sen in 12:41 by pinfall with a Full Nelson Bomb. [63] A hard earned victory for Taku, after withstanding the onslaught of Sen. The veteran absorbed as much punishment as he dished out, but Taku's warrior spirit shone through to propel him towards victory. 6. Blast Ikoma defeated Kiyotaka in 14:01 by pinfall with a Northern Lights Bomb. [58] Sparks always fly when Kiyotaka is in the ring with one of his former Seven Samurai allies, this match being no exception. Ikoma delivered tons of punishment while withstanding Kiyotaka's shoot submissions before he demolished him with the Northern Lights Bomb. 7. Rokuemon Matsushita defeated Nigel Svensson in 13:45 by pinfall with an One-Handed Choke Slam. [61] Svensson was faced with a riddle in how to bring down Matsushita. His approach was to try and take his base away, but Rokuemon had the reach to retaliate and the resilience to fight through the pain. 8. SUKI defeated Morimasa Kato in 15:20 by submission with a SUKI Special III. [66] Kato's run ended here, even if it was in a main event spot. SUKI was relentless and worked his way to victory, with matches getting harder and harder as the tournament progresses. </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. 4, Feb 2020] From the diary of Samantha W. Fitzworthy The final episode of Supreme TV for February was shot in Tacoma, Washington in front of 7.292 fans. A total of 2.137.496 people watched it, which corresponds to a rating of 2.84, but Mr. Eisen recently brought up a valid point during a call with his sons in that C.A.N.N. only covers the American and Canadian market, so the ratings weren’t exactly comparable to begin with if TCW is also shown in Mexico. That was his indirect way of saying “why the hell don’t we air in Mexico” and I’m guessing Eric and Jerry will be taking steps to rectify this as soon as possible. The show kicked off with Remo and Valiant going back and forth on the mic to hype up their title match. It all seemed pretty by-the-numbers, until Mikey Lau’s music hit. It was amazing to see the reaction this got, people like this guy and probably want to see him with the belt soon. Either way, Lau had a valid reason to want to be included in the title picture after beating some of SWF’s biggest names lately. Again, I thought this was going towards another 3 way match, but Remo surprised me when he played it smart and said he won’t put himself in such a precarious position like Rocky did when he lost the title.However, he was still willing to entertain the notion (and not look like a coward) so he counter-offered to put the #1 contendership up for grabs; next week, it’ll be the three of them and if Lau can get the win, he’ll be replacing Valiant as Remo’s opponent. No need to point out these guys are over and can go on the mic, I was happily surprised by the twists during this segment and appreciate how it moves a story forward while also setting up a big match for next week’s episode. Solid 84. Willy LaRoux has been a thorn on James’ side since he debuted on the main roster. This was James looking for revenge while Willy tried to prove himself to the Rat Pack on camera and to his employers off of it. I was surprised they went all out on this one, but they probably wanted to make the best out of whatever little time they were given, which would also explain LaRoux’s willingness to be put through a table with the Big Money Move for the finish. Decent performance from the rookie and a much needed win for the veteran, 58 here. LaRoux was a literal sacrificial lamb of course, because the rest of the Rat Pack showed up after the match to lay the beatdown on James. Not like their feud could end with him beating a rookie that just joined the group. Still, it got a better reaction than the match did, a 68. We then got a Dominic DeSousa interview, with Eric Eisen doing the honors. DeSousa bragged about his accomplishments and how Joe Sexy has been helping him get to the next level. Nothing of much substance, but DDS is always entertaining so another 68 for his promo. We then cut to another part of the backstage area, where Mainstream Hernandez was about to talk about his main event match tonight, before Crippler attacked him from behind. In case you’ve forgotten, Hernandez turned face at the PPV by messing with Crippler’s post match attack and things have been tense between them, but this was the first time they got physical. It seems this is building into a feud, for now the angle got a 60 from Mr. Eisen. Hot off the attack, Crippler made his entrance as Masked Patriot was already in the ring. They tried to do a bit of storytelling here, both with Patriot delivering righteous vengeance after the backstage assault as well as by highlighting the differences in the two guys’ style as far as grappling is concerned. Patriot had the edge due to pure skill, while Crippler would hit sneaky blows to turn the tide and gain a dirty advantage. Gotta say this was more competitive than I expected and the ending was a blast, since Robbie Retro of all people made a shocking return. Seeing the first man on his growing list of people he’s sidelined return was enough to throw the Crippler off his game and the babyface hit him with the Patriot Slam for the pin. Wasn’t expecting Masked Patriot to go over in this match, but I’m good with how it happened and the 61 this match was rated. We then got another Supreme Dream Team promo, Spade doing the talking with an arm around the waist of Dulce Moreno while Bekowski and Allen did their best trying to look menacing. Spade addressed the Pain Alliance and told them to be careful what they wish for, because as was revealed here, the match Eric Eisen hinted at last week when Laramee and Scott complained, would be up next, against Spade’s duo and Best of the Best simultaneously. Guess this was a way to give the Pain Alliance some TV time while trying to avoid another repetitive straight match between the other two feuding teams, pretty good all around at 62. I was expecting this to be another case of the two heel teams working together against the babyfaces, then arguing about who’d make the pin, but they actually shook things up by making this an elimination match. Having each team really fight for themselves kept it exciting, with the Pain Alliance doing everything they could to turn this into a dirty ringside brawl, unless of course the opportunity presented itself for Big Smack Scott to flex inside the ring. It was actually Scott’s flexing that set him up for a quick roll up elimination courtesy of Angry Gilmore; opinions vary on whether this cleared the stage for the two feuding teams to do business or whether someone else should have been eliminated first to keep this fresh. Either way, the elimination happened and it marked the point where Best of the Best really started to make their slow comeback, with brakes for the heels to lay in some heat of course, but ultimately Morgan scoring the pin for the clean victory. Some of it was good, some could have been better, 67 overall. Rocky Golden then hit the ring to a thunderous ovation and everyone knew what this was going to be about. Rocky cut a promo about his title loss and how Scythe attacked him last week, putting the big man over as a huge threat before hyping himself up for their upcoming Pay Per View Clash. Rocky said that no longer having to worry about defending the title has cleared his mind and all his focus is now on beating Scythe, there was a lot of fire to it and fans loved every word that came out of his mouth, including a supremely excited Mr. Eisen who gave Golden’s promo a triumphant 95. Hernandez started the match with a lot of fire, looking to put the pressure on the Dark Reaper but all it took was a crossbody getting caught and reversed into a fallaway slam for the tide to turn. This spot was executed smoothly and I realized as the match went on that these two are great together, perhaps they should get into a feud once done with Crippler and Golden respectively. Hernandez reversed Scythe’s signature lariat once or twice before he finally got hit with it, he got fans to say his catchphrase with him when he was on a roll, this was sports entertainment done right. Scythe got the clean win via chokeslam to build him up for his match with Rocky but I’m really hoping Hernandez gets a decent push after seeing here what he can do in this 65er. Other than Rocky Golden’s promo and the opening stuff, the rest was pretty standard stuff. Not bad, but not stellar either. Gotta respect Matty Faith for taking his chances and trying to build up new stars, but you gotta wonder how much more he can drag this on when TCW are consistently putting out killer shows and he’s mostly defending the #2 spot instead of aiming to reclaim #1. For this week however, a 73 will do for the episode. </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.

W3 June 2021 297 Fans 1. Motoyuki Miyake defeated Animal Harker in 9:47 by pinfall with a Knock Out Kick. [52] The night and the second stage of the tournament kicked of with a bang as Miyake nearly kicked Harker's head off his shoulders after ten minutes of impactful action. The youngster thus scored a big win over the BCG regular and seems to be turning into one of the dark horses in this race. 2. Gidayu Katou defeated Nobuharu Yokokawa in 12:13 by pinfall with a Lariat. [56] Katou also managed to score a win over the veteran Yokokawa, withstanding the elder's offence and showing enough fire to push on until the final pin. The victory sparked further speculation over Katou's future, as the unaligned blue chipper is said to be wanted by more than one faction as a potential recruit. 3. Zeshin Makioka defeated Ryobe Uno in 11:18 by pinfall with a Z-Bomb. [58] Turned out that Uno had indeed suffered a back injury in his first round match and although he pushed through the pain to valiantly fight on, he would ultimately fall to Makioka who viciously targeted his damaged back. 4. FEAR defeated Kyuichi Matsumoto in 10:16 by pinfall with a Fear Drive. [66] "Murderous" Kyuichi Matsumoto displayed an intensity that really meshed with FEAR's character and style, elevating this match to show stealer status. Fans enjoyed seeing them brutalize each other and despite the loss, Matsumoto walked away from this match with his status undeniably elevated. 5. Bunrakuken Torii defeated Shuzo Utagawa in 11:15 by pinfall with a Spinning Forearm Smash. [56] And from good chemistry to bad, with Torii's strikes not quite meshing with Utagawa's mat grappling. The predictability of this matchup didn't help it either, a real downer after the stellar contest that preceded it. 6. Fujio Narahashi defeated Azumamaro Kita in 14:21 by pinfall with a Lariat Clothesline. [64] Seeing the BCG World Tag Team champions clash was interesting, but the handshake and sportsmanship on display meant that BCG isn't looking to split them up anytime soon. Some great counters back and forth, it was Narahashi who got a lucky opening to hit the lariat and win, with both men shaking hands again after the end of the match. 7. Tanyu Toshusai defeated Yoshisada Matsuzawa in 14:16 by pinfall with a Suplex Powerslam. [62] Matsuzawa's fun loving attitude was a stark contrast to the smug (over)confidence of Toshusai, making for an entertaining semi main event. The BCG National champion made short work of his opponent and advanced to the next stage, with many penciling him in as one of the final four already. 8. Big Bruiser Findlay defeated Kadonomaro Kamisaka in 13:41 by pinfall with an Atomic Spinebuster. [61] "Serene K" had his work cut out for him trying to suplex or grapple the big bruiser, who threw him around like a rag doll. Kamisaka looked punch drunk by the end and Findlay sealed the deal with a huge Atomic Spinebuster. </div>

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Sole Survivor Tour Night 5 in Shizuoka Sports Hall, Chubu Region Fri. W2 June 2021 300 Fans (Super No Vacancy) 1. Danjuro Kikuchi defeated Tetsuya Oshiro in 12:05 by submission with a Step Over Leg Bar. [36] Slightly underwhelming match, with Kikuchi having to carry his young lion opponent. Although he has the wrestling chops, Kikuchi lacks the charisma to draw fans in and his win wasn't as celebrated as the in-ring action deserved. 2. Kiyotaka defeated Black Samurai in 11:37 by submission with a Kimura. [43] An oddity in Black Canvas Grappling, the masked rookie Black Samurai debuted here and put on a decent showing before losing to Kiyotaka. There has been talk that the character is meant to be some sort of company hero, but this remains to be seen down the road. 3. Nigel Svensson defeated Noritoshi Hira in 11:50 by submission with a Hyper Extension Arm Lock. [49] Svensson was extra vicious in this match, tormenting young lion Noritoshi Hira and tying him up in knots before he tapped him out with the Hyper Extension Arm Lock. Surprisingly watchable match and an advance to the stage of 32 for Svensson. 4. Shuzo Utagawa defeated Yunosuke Fujisaki in 11:53 by submission with a Sleeper Hold. [34] Much like the opening match, Utagawa had the skill but not the charisma to carry his rookie opponent to a great showing. A down and dirty, gritty wrestling contest that was decent, but nothing to write home about. 5. Sojuro Sen defeated Noritaka Imakura in 11:44 by submission with an Over-The-Shoulder Backbreaker. [42] Imakura showed the fire between the ropes, but he was no match for the hard hitting veteran in Sen. A classic strong style match with both competitors looking great from bell to bell. 6. Naozane Goto defeated Goro Hatamoto in 12:02 by pinfall with a Goto Slam. [37] Goto dominated this match, using his size and power to bully Hatamoto around. After he had enough of toying with his victim, he hit the Goto Slam to end the bout, making a statement in what was essentially a glorified squash. 7. Yoshinaka Taku defeated Wes Stryker in 12:10 by pinfall with a Full Nelson Bomb. [59] Dutch grappler Wes Stryker showed surprising competence here against Taku, essentially stealing the show by working the best match of the night before he got pinned. With ELPF recently signing him to their roster, Stryker is expected to develop fast and perhaps even debut soon on the main BCG roster. 8. Rokuemon Matsushita defeated Suguru Emoto in 11:59 by pinfall with an One-Handed Choke Slam. [53] Matsushita had his hands full in the main event, with Emoto bringing the hard strikes to push him. Fans got their money's worth and a good match, Matsushita coming out on top by the end. </div>
