According to the faction's leader Big Bruiser Findlay, the group was small and tight knit to begin with and with Animal Harker sidelined for months due to injury, there was a need to bolster the ranks. Chief among the new recruits is James Diaz, son of the legendary Raymond Diaz, but he is not the only second generation wrestler as he is joined by Original Sinner, son CZCW and PSW legend Primal Rage. The other two members were revealed to be a tall cowboy known only as Texas Hangman and Maelstrom, a menacing big man brought in from Australia.</div> <img alt="DDneIEu.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DDneIEu.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <div style="text-align:left;">~ Bruiser Brigade weren't the only ones to receive reinforcements, as Dread sent the man known as Ragnarok to bolster the rank of his Army.

The match played out as such, with the more experienced side beating on Emoto, Mitsukuri and Kinoshita for the most part, while Torii had to run in and make the save on various occasions. Mitsukuri and Kinoshita were able to use some of their double team moves to fight back and it was Emoto who took the brunt of the damage, but he always came back swinging in a defiant display of fighting spirit. Torii himself brought his signature machinegun chops and various forearm or elbow strikes to turn up the heat, but it was clearly not enough to win this and it ended with Emoto tapping out to Yokokawa. In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Seven Samurai (Funakoshi, Blast Ikoma, Nobuharu Yokokawa and Sojuro Sen) defeated Dawnguard (Bunrakuken Torii, Suguru Emoto, Ichiro Mitsukuri and Koyo Kinoshita) in 13:42 when Nobuharu Yokokawa submitted Suguru Emoto with a Stump Puller.

This was mainly meant to show off the two new guys and establish the Cobras as a legitimate team, so they got a lot of chances to showcase their offense. There was also an interesting segment of the Cobras against the former World Tag Team champions, almost as if testing the waters for a future tag match between them. It took a lot of effort for any team to win this as there were always people around to break up covers, but once the finishing sequence kicked off and everyone began dropping the big bombs, it ended with Malloy's Marvel Breaker taking out Matsuzawa. In a decent match, Conner Threepwood, Ray Snow and The American Cobras defeated Okamoto-gun (Dynamite Narahashi, Yoshisada Matsuzawa, Inejiro Yoshizawa and Noritoshi Miura) in 16:26 when Marvel Malloy pinned Yoshisada Matsuzawa with a Marvel Breaker.

The brutish gaijin of Dread's Army were mostly brought down thanks to solid fundamentals and some good submission wrestling on the match, which in turn forced them to wrestle a style they're not used to and in turn made the match feel like it could swing either way. Although it didn't end with a tap, the tactic was still good enough to wear down the three big men and Kikuchi was able to get a surprise win by rolling Abomination up in a cradle. This victory means that Last of the Golden Lions will likely be the first challengers to The Horror's BCG World Tag Team titles in the upcoming Test of Champions tour. In a bout that had good wrestling but didn't have much heat, Pillars of Puroresu (Masashi Urogataya, Danjuro Kikuchi and Ryobe Uno) defeated Dread Army (Atto Savage, Abomination and Monstrosity) in 15:58 when Danjuro Kikuchi pinned Abomination with a quick cradle. [55] <img alt="dLsvm4M.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dLsvm4M.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"> BCG Challengers Series title match <img alt="HXpE6z7.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/HXpE6z7.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="Y31rJ3K.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Y31rJ3K.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> 16th Champion Tanyu Toshusai vs Challenger FEAR</div> After collecting all three Medallions, FEAR was given a shot at the Challengers Series title and it certainly made for a rough first defense, as Toshusai met the big man head on but had to withstand an insane amount of punishment from the deadly arsenal of the Dread Army leader. This was displayed when FEAR kicked out of the defending champion's big new Suplex Powerslam, as well as Toshusai's patented Dangerous Brainbuster, both near falls getting a big reaction from the sold out audience. Not that FEAR had it easy since his opponent also kicked out of his deadly Fear Drive, but this only prompted the man to get more violent and introduce the title belt to the match. He never got to use it as a weapon since Toshusai fought back before the swing, but it eventually played into the finish when FEAR hit his finisher onto the belt, taking out Tanyu to become the new BCG Challengers Series champion. In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, FEAR defeated Tanyu Toshusai in 14:03 by pinfall with a Fear Drive. FEAR wins the BCG Challengers Series title. [56] <img alt="49xmMBU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/49xmMBU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"> Challengers Series Medallion match <img alt="daJAps6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/daJAps6.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="VV10Xvu.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/VV10Xvu.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Kadonomaro Kamisaka vs Naozane Goto</div> Regardless of the outcome of the previous match, the race for the three Challengers Series Medallions was bound to start anew since they had been cashed in for a title shot, so in the first of these three matches Kamisaka took on Goto. The former sumo star was the clear favourite, not only due to size but also because "Serene K" has been mostly wrestling in the tag division next to Kiyotaka lately. Kamisaka's game plan was to work the leg and take away the big man's vertical base since he couldn't target the neck and back like he usually does, but that's easier said than done when your opponent is someone like Goto. It made for an entertaining, if rather predictable match and Goto claimed the first of three Medallions for Dawnguard after a ring-shaking Goto Slam. In a decent match, Naozane Goto defeated Kadonomaro Kamisaka in 14:27 by pinfall with a Goto Slam. Naozane Goto wins the Medallion #3. [56] <img alt="0aYBbrH.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/0aYBbrH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"> Challengers Series Medallion match <img alt="AGU8LIi.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/AGU8LIi.png" 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="WGDp9oH.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/WGDp9oH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Omezo Shikitei vs Yoshinaka Taku</div> Ever since he joined Black Canvas, Shikitei has proven his wrestling acumen time and time again, his performances eventually landing him a shot at one of the Challengers Series Medallions. Fans however were consistently behind the familiar Taku in this one, some would say in part also due to Shikitei's apparent inability to connect with the audience despite his crisp technical skills and hard strikes. The matchup made for an entertaining contest and by the time Yoshi Taku hit the Full Nelson Bomb, Shikitei had at least managed to earn respect with his performance, meaning that both men left the ring as bigger stars than when they entered it. In a bout that had great wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Yoshinaka Taku defeated Omezo Shikitei in 13:51 by pinfall with a Full Nelson Bomb. Yoshinaka Taku wins the Medallion #2. [64] <img alt="V9ORqZ9.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/V9ORqZ9.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"> Challengers Series Medallion match <img alt="PjUyYaN.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/PjUyYaN.png" 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="RVNsc1B.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/RVNsc1B.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Azumamaro Kita vs Rokuemon Matsushita</div> Despite finishing near the bottom of the table in the Grand Prix, Kita was still able to push Matsushita to a 20 minute time limit draw when they met, so their rematch was not just about the Medallion, but also about a decisive finish between the two of them. Now more familiar with Kita's arsenal of scything kicks, Matsushita came into the match with his strategy adjusted accordingly and stayed out of reach, at times even lying in wait and grabbing Kita's leg to counter. Kita on the other hand did not bring any changes to his game and that was what he paid for, with Matsushita delivering multiple chokeslams during the finishing sequence to secure a decisive victory just before the 15 minute mark. In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Rokuemon Matsushita defeated Azumamaro Kita in 14:16 by pinfall with an One-Handed Choke Slam. Rokuemon Matsushita wins the Medallion #1. [52] <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="aPbvajc.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/aPbvajc.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix Finals <img alt="GskIv1l.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GskIv1l.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="wFcGLdM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wFcGLdM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> A Block Winner Razan Okamoto vs B Block Winner Mabuchi Furusawa</div> Both men had stumbled during the Grand Prix and they had to struggle in order to eke out a last night win just ahead of their respective opponents on the card, so this was going to be the climax of it all. Well aware that this would be a marathon (and selling the long term piled-up damage of the gruelling tournament) they started off slow, testing each other's defences and taking the time to regroup and recuperate after each exchange. Furusawa had the strength advantage over his smaller competitor and he used it to maintain wrist control as he clinically targeted the arm to set up his armbar. Okamoto panicked at first and tried to avoid such predicaments, but as the match went on, he would instead fight his way out of them, including a big spot where he defiantly threw a short range lariat on his opponent. Realizing he needed to use his speed to stay at a safe distance and pick his spots, Okamoto used hit and run tactics with dropkicks, crossbodies and other basic but effective moves to punish his opponent and regain control of their contest. It didn't take long though for the crafty Furusawa to see through his opponent's tactic and counter it, using Okamoto's own momentum against him. A well-timed side step sent Okamoto crashing onto the ropes, then later he got lured to try a move off the top rope, only to discover mid-air that Furusawa had been playing possum and rolled out of position. Furusawa immediately went back to working his opponent's right arm and even applied the armbar on one occasion, which a spent Okamoto had to break out by reaching for the ropes as he had little left in the tank to fight out of it otherwise. This kicked off the finishing sequence of the match as Furusawa punished his opponent's arm some more and went for the armbar again. Okamoto had a brief flash with a quick burst of offence that led to him hitting the Brainbuster Suplex, but Furusawa kicked out just before the count of three. Okamoto still fought on and even put Furusawa in an armbar of his own, but it turned out to be a bad move as Furusawa managed to reverse it into his own armbar and finally force his opponent to submit after nearly 25 minutes of non-stop punishment to his arm. In a bout that had superb wrestling and great heat, Mabuchi Furusawa defeated Razan Okamoto in 24:28 by submission with a Furusawa Armbar. Mabuchi Furusawa wins the BCG Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix. [83] <img alt="JjJyYIj.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/JjJyYIj.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="wFcGLdM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wFcGLdM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Yoshifusa Maeda himself came out to the ring to present the trophy to the winner and Furusawa got to close the show by addressing the fans and thanking them for their support. [66]</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 Furusawa: "I won the block, I won the tournament and now I'm going to win the World title. I have scouted out Funakoshi and I shall succeed where SUKI failed." Okamoto: "Mabuchi was the better man tonight. I gave everything, I let it all out in that ring but in the end, it wasn't enough. He deserved to win and I'm glad we gave the fans something to remember." FEAR: "I did just what I'd promised I would do. I took the title. Soon, the World title will also belong to Dread Army and everyone will live in fear!" Kikuchi: "I felt inspired when I saw Furusawa-san defeat Atto Savage in the GP. It showed me that Dread Army were these big monsters, but they can be beat. Tonight, we outsmarted them. If they underestimate us again, it might cost them their titles."</div></div>

Grimm SoCal Wrestling: Keep their heads ringnin'

<div style="text-align:center;"><div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #6e1812; max-width:55%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"><img alt="hz7Sa0o.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hz7Sa0o.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="536408445f64dd1a2a70fa0bd5dfc459.png" data-src="https://fontmeme.com/permalink/210826/536408445f64dd1a2a70fa0bd5dfc459.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="Q6zakrh.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Q6zakrh.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="CnAns7p.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CnAns7p.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="wifnrLi.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wifnrLi.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> The go-home episode began with Brother Grimm in the ring, joined by Cali Slick and Fro Sure. After the two wrestlers went a little back and forth on the mic to hype up their upcoming title clash (and to berate Grimm for delaying it) the man in charge took over and confirmed that the match would be main eventing Gangsta's Paradise. He had one stipulation to add though: as he did not want such a big match to have a messy finish with lucky roll ups or outside interference, this was going to be a 2 out of 3 falls match to determine the real GSW American champion. (Rating: 60) <img alt="5bd82e3ae7f2a545d864b8be1ebcfb35.png" data-src="https://fontmeme.com/permalink/210826/5bd82e3ae7f2a545d864b8be1ebcfb35.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="R28fWdY.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/R28fWdY.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7039c7cc1e06568ab06afaf44384bb85.png" data-src="https://fontmeme.com/permalink/201221/7039c7cc1e06568ab06afaf44384bb85.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="c0A4HO1.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/c0A4HO1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7039c7cc1e06568ab06afaf44384bb85.png" data-src="https://fontmeme.com/permalink/201221/7039c7cc1e06568ab06afaf44384bb85.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="EjNfVzF.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/EjNfVzF.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="7039c7cc1e06568ab06afaf44384bb85.png" data-src="https://fontmeme.com/permalink/201221/7039c7cc1e06568ab06afaf44384bb85.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="m6Ok8CN.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/m6Ok8CN.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> It should come as no surprise that the opening contest was a chaotic hardcore brawl, given who was involved in it. A callback to the early "hood hardcore" stuff of GSW, this match had all the weapons, blood and crazy spots to get the audience going, as well as a ton of near falls since people kept coming from all angles and breaking up pins. This was also played up in regard to Dolla's balcony dive spot, which never came to pass as people kept pulling him down before he could deliver it. Dolla was obsessed with hitting that one and it held him back in the match, but it also made for an impressive spot where he fought back Magwitch mid-ascent and dropped him to a free fall onto the ground. The psycho clown must have landed weirdly and dislocated his shoulder or separated his AC, as his arm just hang there motionless after the spot and it's not like Magwitch is known for his stellar selling. <img alt="1zCxav3.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1zCxav3.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> This pretty much boiled the match down to Aces versus Muvva, with the former IPW star staying in control until Raheem Stash showed up to repay some favors and beat him up. Muvva still had one last trick up his sleeve though, and in the subsequent cover from Aces, he rolled through to reverse the situation and managed to steal the pin.

This set the tone for the rest of the match, with plenty of striking back and forth and the brawl spilling out to ringside. MexiCain is primarily known as a tag wrestler and he's not even the better wrestler of his team, but he's experienced enough to hold his own in a fight and this made for a very even, competitive bout against Diamond. <img alt="hyz1kXm.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hyz1kXm.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> LatiNoFear did of course show up to help his teammate and he made it in spectacular fashion, running out to dive off the Warehouse balcony, a move that popped the audience who had it built up but never delivered in the previous match. This set up MexiCain to be in control for the finishing stretch of the match, yet still somehow there was fight left in Black Diamond and she slowly turned the tables on the veteran, all the way to hitting two Belly to Belly Suplexes for a shocking pinfall.

If she didn't have the experience edge that allowed her to counter with some cerebral wrestling, Jones would have had virtually zero offense in this match that DT controlled for its most part. Some surprising straight wrestling after all the crazy matches that came before and a predictable outcome after a Crooked Moonsault.

Blake also brought up LaRue's words about him being good, but not as good as Touch, saying they had that tag match but it's nothing like a one on one confrontation. Thus, at Gangsta's Paradise, Blake would be challenging Deaf Touch to a singles match.

What State of Destruction had on their side was being a consistent team though, and they used some double team moves to deliver the pain; those are devastating normally, but have two giants like Boneyard and BB hit them and they become destroyers of lives. Such was the case for Mexico's Finest, who wanted to do most of the fighting for his side and ended up taking most of the beating, with SoD focusing on turning his arm to paste in order to neutralize his Hard Times chokeslam finisher (assuming he could lift either opponent to deliver it, in the first place). Instead, he ended up taking a chokeslam from Boneyard while BB threw his full weight with an Avalanche onto Galindo, launching him off the apron to ensure there would be no interruptions during the pin.

1. FMW Arena Title No Ropes Barbed Wire Ladder Match: Sabu © vs Sandman Sabu needs to drop the title eventually and move on to greater things. Not sure about Sandman's pop in Japan, but he could be the one to do it. I'm just counting on the booker playing the waiting game, loss first then another ECW guy pulls it off 2. 4 Way Tag Dance: Killer Bees vs Love Guns vs Texas Mustangs vs Tanaka/Dreamer 3. Tokyo Street Fight: Bruise Brothers vs Wrecking Crew Could go either way. Great match on paper 4. Grudge Match: Haku vs Warlord 5. WWA World Women's Title: Klondyke Kate © vs Aja Kong I'm guessing Aja is way more popular than Kate and she is a beast that could legit match her, but I doubt she can stick around long enough for a title run 6.

W3 April 2020 712 Fans <div style="text-align:left;">1. Okamoto-gun (Razan Okamoto, Dynamite Narahashi, Inejiro Yoshizawa and Noritoshi Miura) defeated Pillars of Puroresu (SUKI, Tanyu Toshusai and Last of the Golden Lions) in 14:03 when Dynamite Narahashi pinned Ryobe Uno with a Narahashi Cutter. [61] 2. Seven Samurai (Funakoshi, Kadonomaro Kamisaka, Kiyotaka, Nobuharu Yokokawa and Sojuro Sen) defeated Dawnguard (Naozane Goto, Toshinobu Taku, Yoshinaka Taku, Ichiro Mitsukuri and Koyo Kinoshita) in 16:23 when Nobuharu Yokokawa submitted Toshinobu Taku with a Stump Puller. [52] 3. FEAR defeated Masashi Urogataya in 14:29 by pinfall with a Fear Drive for the Challengers Series Medallions. [55] 4. Yoshisada Matsuzawa defeated Giant Brody in 13:42 by pinfall with a Double Arm DDT. [55] 5. Bunrakuken Torii defeated Atto Savage in 16:29 by pinfall with a Flying Forearm Off Top. [59] 6. Mabuchi Furusawa defeated Blast Ikoma in 18:04 by submission with a Furusawa Armbar. [77] ~ Since this was the last tour show before the Maeda GP finale, Challengers Series Medallion holder FEAR faced Masashi Urogataya, the man who holds the other two Medallions, in order to determine which of the two will be facing Tanyu Toshusai for the title. Urogataya brought a good mix of submission mat wrestling and big slams to the match, but FEAR just kept on coming no matter what bombs got dropped on him, until he caught Urogataya with two Fear Drivers before making the cover to collect all three Medallions. ~ Matsuzawa had a tough job in beating Giant Brody, but through speed and some smart wrestling, he pulled it off and used the athletic big man's momentum against him to send him crashing multiple times, to the mat, ropes or outside. This shot him to 9 points and a temporary top of the scorecard, but just like SUKI in the A Block, he would have to wait for the main event and hope that Furusawa and Ikoma would end in a time limit draw. In the semi main event, Torii rained down the blows on Atto Savage for a victory that has both of them finish the GP at 7 points, not quite the outcome Torii would have liked but a solid first showing for the Dread Army representative. ~ Mirroring the A Block final match, the winner would top the overall rankings and a draw would condemn both men to a loss in favor of Yoshisada Matsuzawa, a situation that added a sense of urgency to the match, even if Furusawa and Ikoma took their time to put together a slow burner. Fans were drawn into the contest as both competitors rained down the big bombs, but the gamechanger came from Furusawa countering a suplex into a situation that saw his full weight crash on top of Ikoma's arm. This not only set up his armbar finisher, it also took out most of Ikoma's striking and grappling strength, creating the opening for the big final stretch and Furusawa beating the clock by two minutes to end the night on top of the B Block.</div></div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";">B Block Results WINNER <img alt="wFcGLdM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/wFcGLdM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Mabuchi Furusawa (10 points) Yoshisada Matsuzawa (9 points) Blast Ikoma (7 points) Bunrakuken Torii (7 points) Atto Savage (7 points) Giant Brody (3 points)</div></div>

W2 April 2020 683 Fans <div style="text-align:left;">1. Giant Brody, Conner Threepwood and The American Cobras defeated Okamoto-gun (Yoshisada Matsuzawa, Dynamite Narahashi, Inejiro Yoshizawa and Noritoshi Miura) in 11:36 when Storm Spillane submitted Inejiro Yoshizawa with a Kneeling Boston Crab. [55] 2. Seven Samurai (Blast Ikoma, Funakoshi, Kadonomaro Kamisaka, Kiyotaka and Sojuro Sen) defeated Pillars of Puroresu (Mabuchi Furusawa, Tanyu Toshusai, Masashi Urogataya and Last of the Golden Lions) in 15:54 when Sojuro Sen submitted Ryobe Uno with an Over-The-Shoulder Backbreaker. [61] 3. Dread Army (Atto Savage, FEAR and The Horror) defeated Dawnguard (Bunrakuken Torii, Naozane Goto, Ichiro Mitsukuri and Koyo Kinoshita) in 13:38 when FEAR pinned Koyo Kinoshita with a Fear Drive. [57] 4. SUKI defeated Azumamaro Kita in 13:59 by submission with a SUKI Special III. [65] 5. Rokuemon Matsushita defeated Yoshinaka Taku in 13:36 by pinfall with an One-Handed Choke Slam. [63] 6. Razan Okamoto defeated Big Bruiser Findlay in 18:05 by pinfall with a Brainbuster Suplex. [64] ~ SUKI had a relatively easy job in his final match of the tournament, facing and defeating the much less experienced Azumamaro Kita. This brought him up to 9 points and a temporary lead in the scorecard, but he still had to wait until the end of the night and hope that Findlay would draw with Okamoto to stop at 8 points each. This wasn't the case though, and SUKI made it close but did not leave Kobe as the winner of the A Block. ~ Matshushita and Taku were practically out of the race for the top of the Block, but their match was more about their personal performance and final ranking. Taku had started off strong early on but hit a slump later on, with Matsushita coming from the opposite direction and looking to end the tournament with one last big win. Yoshi Taku's striking and technical acumen made for a solid performance, but his finisher of choice, the Full Nelson Bomb, was difficult both to apply and pull off against an opponent the size of Matsushita, thus the giant was able to stay in the fight and chokeslam his way to victory. ~ Findlay and Okamoto met in the main event, in the shadow of SUKI's 9 points over their 7. As mentioned, this was life or death, winner take all; whoever won the match would also win the block, whereas a draw would spell doom for them both. Findlay got the majority of the offense here, beating down Okamoto but not managing to break his fighting spirit within. Okamoto kicked out of an Atomic Spinebuster and even settled for a more DDT-like version of his Brainbuster Suplex, but it wasn't enough. It would take catching Findlay on the ropes for him to win, hitting him from that elevated position with his finisher for the three count and the top of the rankings in Block A.</div></div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> A Block Results WINNER <img alt="GskIv1l.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/GskIv1l.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Razan Okamoto (10 points) SUKI (9 points) Rokuemon Matsushita (8 points) Big Bruiser Findlay (7 points) Azumamaro Kita (4 points) Yoshinaka Taku (4 points)</div></div>

[54] 2.

Bunrakuken Torii drew with Mabuchi Furusawa in 20:00 when the time limit expired. [78] ~ Block favourites Torii and Furusawa clashed in the main event up to a 20 minute time limit draw, an outcome that so far keeps Furusawa ahead on the scorecard but Torii's persistency may have ended up denying him two more precious points in the long run. Sparks flew between the two men and with no decisive winner, this is certainly not the last time they will be meeting in the ring. ~ Matsuzawa was the surprise competitor of this tournament, but it seems all the effort and damage sustained so far in order to get victories over big names has caught up to him and Atto Savage managed to submit him after a valiant effort. The big Dread Army representative now shares the top of the scorecard, alongside Blast Ikoma and Mabuchi Furusawa, with a good chance of ending up as the winner of the entire block. ~ Victory at long last for Giant Brody, valuable points left behind for Blast Ikoma. The big man just wouldn't let himself get suplexed around and he managed to bully Ikoma around for most of the match, before scoring the final pinfall for his first points in this year's GP.</div></div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";">B Block Standings 7 Blast Ikoma 7 Mabuchi Furusawa 7 Atto Savage 4 Bunrakuken Torii 6 Yoshisada Matsuzawa 3 Giant Brody</div></div>

SUKI defeated Big Bruiser Findlay in 17:41 by submission with a SUKI Special III. [74] ~ Huge win for SUKI in the main event against Big Bruiser Findlay, not only because he was able to survive the big man's powerful offense to defeat him, but also because of all the other results of the block. SUKI brought home 3 more valuable points while denying Findlay any, all the while with others above him in the scorecard stumbling to make the final standings even more unpredictable. ~ Speaking of upsets, Rokuemon Matsushita was finally able to get some traction going and he made a statement by nearly slamming Razan Okamoto through the ring with his chokeslam. After some surprising draws in the early part of the tournament, Matsushita got the 3 points this night and is back in contention for the top of the block or at least a decent performance, given that he was the one who won the whole thing last year. ~ Yoshinaka Taku also stumbled after a hot start to the Grand Prix, with Azumamaro Kita consistently working the back of his head and neck throughout the match with high kicks and flying knee strikes, until he finally tapped him out with a Full Nelson. This was Kita's first victory in the tournament and although he's by this point out of contention, he certainly made a statement by defeating Taku Jr.</div></div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> A Block Standings 7 Big Bruiser Findlay 7 Razan Okamoto 6 SUKI 5 Rokuemon Matsushita 4 Yoshinaka Taku 4 Azumamaro Kita</div></div>

Most of it was G Force hitting his big spots to pump up the crowd with his opponent occasionally cutting him off for a bit, but in the end all it took was a rookie mistake to blow his momentum and allow Jones to hit a Candy Cane for the pin. (Rating: 26) After her victory, Miss Jones grabbed the mic to cut a promo and call herself the Baddest Bitch in the Building, paraphrasing Foxxy LaRue's catchphrase since, as she pointed out, LaRue was in Texas for the night, wrestling for QAW. Jones addressed Black Diamond and Jo Baker, telling them LaRue wants to replace her at the helm of BPLM but her priorities lay elsewhere, as opposed to Jones who'll always be around. (Rating: 25) Los Guerilleros came out in full force next, with MexiCain cutting a promo to complain about State of Destruction's pre-match attack last week. This brought out Black Diamond and Jo Baker who called them out for being "whiny bitches" when all they do is attack others, but can't handle it when anyone else pays them back the same way. Unable to handle the criticism, Los Guerilleros chose to shut BPLM up by attacking them 4 on 2, but the appearance of BB Colossus and Boneyard evened the odds, forcing Los Guerilleros to a hasty retreat as the odd alliance of SoD and BPLM stood in the ring. (Rating: 38) This six man tag essentially intertwined three feuding pairs in one match, letting all six loose in a chaotic hardcore free for all brawl. Slick and Stash got the bulk of the offense thanks to their significant power advantage, even double chokeslamming Magwitch through a table at one point. Their opponents had to resort to wits or trickery (in the case of Muvva) to fight back, with Top Dolla adding the exclamation point by hitting his signature balcony dive onto everyone. The recovered Magwitch tried to pick the bones of that mess and finish the match, but he made the mistake of attacking Stash who was the first to show signs of life. The psycho clown put a kneeling Stash in place for a Stump Piledriver, but the West Coast champion countered into a back body drop, tossing the clown up an over before he hit him with a Standing Powerslam for the pin. (Rating: 46) Tavon Blake Jr came out next to introduce Busta Capp as his surprise partner for the night. With Foxxy LaRue however revealed earlier in the night to be missing, Blake and Capp couldn't help but wonder out loud who would be replacing her, as clearly they wouldn't be wrestling against Motor City Made. (Rating: 42) Cut back to Brother Grimm's office and the top dog in GSW had a few announcements to make in regards to the upcoming Gangsta's Paradise show. Grimm said that of course there's two title matches scheduled, Slick versus Fro and Stash versus Muvva, but he had a few more to reveal, especially after watching how things have been developing lately. Grimm confirmed that all four of Los Guerilleros will have a match against the team of BPLM and State of Destruction, while Top Dolla and Magwitch will go one on one in a Tables match. Last but not least, since Foxxy LaRue bailed on him and the GSW fans for the night, Grimm said he had decided to give Miss Jones a chance to put her out for good: at Gangsta's Paradise, Foxxy LaRue versus Miss Jones in an I Quit match, with the loser leaving the company! (Rating: 67) Back to the ring, DT's partner turned out to be E-Soteric, a man who's been drifting between mentor and rival to Blake for quite some time. This history added a lot of intensity to the match and it didn't take long for E-Soteric to clothesline Blake over the top rope to the outside. The situation served the rugged Capp all too well and not much longer, things devolved into an all out ringside brawl between all four competitors. E and Touch double teamed Blake until Capp charged in with a Mafia Kick that nearly decapitated E-Soteric. Blake saw his chance to bust a Black Plex and drive Deaf Touch onto the hard ground, turning the tide in favor of Capp and TBJ. By the time things got back between the ropes, Capp was firmly in control and he sought to put away E-Soteric with a piledriver, but E fought out of the predicament and hit his own double arm DDT out of nowhere for a surprise pinfall on the veteran.

W1 April 2020 685 Fans 1. Okamoto-gun (Razan Okamoto, Inejiro Yoshizawa and Noritoshi Miura) defeated Rokuemon Matsushita and Ippitsusai & Okimasa in 9:35 when Inejiro Yoshizawa pinned Yoriie Ippitsusai with a Yoshizawa Bomb. [61] 2. Pillars of Puroresu (SUKI, Masashi Urogataya, Tanyu Toshusai, Danjuro Kikuchi and Ryobe Uno) defeated Big Bruiser Findlay, Ray Snow, Conner Threepwood and The American Cobras in 16:30 when Masashi Urogataya pinned Conner Threepwood with a Jumbo Backdrop Suplex. [58] 3. Dawnguard (Yoshinaka Taku, Naozane Goto and Suguru Emoto) defeated Azumamaro Kita, Omezo Shikitei and Sofu Ozawa in 9:52 when Yoshinaka Taku pinned Sofu Ozawa with a Full Nelson Bomb. [52] 4. Atto Savage drew with Blast Ikoma in 20:00 when the time limit expired. [58] 5. Mabuchi Furusawa defeated Giant Brody in 14:03 by submission with a Furusawa Armbar. [66] 6. Yoshisada Matsuzawa defeated Bunrakuken Torii in 17:38 by pinfall with a Double Arm DDT. [68] ~ No one expected Yoshi Matsuzawa to defeat "Machine Gun" Bunrakuken Torii but somehow he did, adding another big win to his track record this GP after his other big win over Mabuchi Furusawa. Matsuzawa, who was never among the favorites to win the block, is turning into a dark horse or at least playing spoiler for some of the bigger names in the block and it will be interesting to watch the rest of his matches in the tournament. ~ Giant Brody had the upper hand at the start of his match, but Mabuchi Furusawa not only survived the attack, he completely turned the complexion of the match around by hitting a flying variation of his Furusawa Armbar. Although it didn't finish the match as Brody was able to reach for the ropes, it was enough to give him a fighting chance to get back in the contest and work Brody's arm, sometimes with a little help from the ropes or the ringpost. From there, despite Brody's kickouts here and there, it was only a matter of time and eventually Furusawa slapped on the armbar to make him tap out. ~ Blast Ikoma struggled to pick up Atto Savage for his trademark suplexes and that was the story of their match, at least for its longest part after the opening exchange of blows. Savage used his body weight to reverse suplex attempts into crossbodies or sentons, but his main weapon had to be applied face-first. This allowed Ikoma to set up a huge spot where he got caught in the claw but reversed it into a release belly to belly suplex. Still, he couldn't put Savage away in time, nor could Savage keep the claw applied for long enough to get the submission, leading to a time limit draw. </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";">B Block Standings 7 Blast Ikoma 6 Yoshisada Matsuzawa 6 Mabuchi Furusawa 4 Atto Savage 3 Bunrakuken Torii 0 Giant Brody</div>

W1 April 2020 711 Fans 1. Dread Army (Atto Savage, FEAR, Abomination and Monstrosity) defeated Seven Samurai (Blast Ikoma, Funakoshi, Kadonomaro Kamisaka and Kiyotaka) in 10:43 when FEAR pinned Kadonomaro Kamisaka with a Fear Drive. [60] 2. Pillars of Puroresu (Mabuchi Furusawa, Tanyu Toshusai, Masashi Urogataya, Danjuro Kikuchi and Ryobe Uno) defeated Giant Brody, Conner Threepwood, Ray Snow and The American Cobras in 16:21 when Danjuro Kikuchi submitted Ray Snow with a Step Over Leg Bar.

Okamoto-gun (Yoshisada Matsuzawa, Dynamite Narahashi, Inejiro Yoshizawa and Noritoshi Miura) defeated Dawnguard (Bunrakuken Torii, Naozane Goto, Ichiro Mitsukuri and Koyo Kinoshita) in 10:23 when Noritoshi Miura pinned Ichiro Mitsukuri with a Storm Rider. [59] 4. Azumamaro Kita drew with Rokuemon Matsushita in 20:00 when the time limit expired. [47] 5. Razan Okamoto defeated SUKI in 17:42 by pinfall with a Brainbuster Suplex. [78] 6. Big Bruiser Findlay defeated Yoshinaka Taku in 18:22 by pinfall with an Atomic Spinebuster. [69] ~ Yoshinaka Taku ran into a brick wall in the form of Big Bruiser Findlay, who gave him a costly loss in the main event. The youngest of the Taku family gave it his best against the brutish gaijin, but much of his offense got soaked up by the Cobb County bruiser. Taku absorbed a significant amount of damage himself, his fighting spirit pushing him to kick out and ask for more but once Findlay hit the Atomic Spinebuster, there was no coming back from that. ~ A dramatic contest in the semi main event as Razan Okamoto took on SUKI. The former GCG star viciously attacked Okamoto's recently injured back, a tactic that paid off but also garnered the BCG star sympathy from the crowd. Surviving the onslaught, Okamoto attacked his opponent's head with some nasty elbow shots peppered with flying or spinning lariats, until he had turned the tables convincingly enough to win the match with his Brainbuster Suplex. ~ Another shocking draw for Rokuemon Matsushita, this time against Azumamaro Kita, who pushed the big man to the 20 minute time limit. Kita utilized hit and run tactics to pick his spots, chopping down his opponent with scything low kicks while staying out of reach. This frustrated Matsushita in the early part of the match and did much to leave him exhausted by the finish, to the point where his slams lacked full power and weren't enough to put Kita away in time. </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> A Block Standings 7 Big Bruiser Findlay 7 Razan Okamoto 4 Yoshinaka Taku 3 SUKI 2 Rokuemon Matsushita 1 Azumamaro Kita</div>

Presentation is great as always, and I love how you've introduced stables which keeps the booking interesting. The Challenger Series medallions are a nice touch - although sometimes a bit difficult to follow! But these rules (and the other rules around the Challenger Series holder getting a shot at the World Title after three defences, etc.) make the vanilla BCG data super interesting, and really create an immersive world. Really enjoying it.</div></blockquote> Thank you very much, glad you enjoy it! The whole Medallion thing is ripped off straight from Lucha Underground's Gift of the Gods championship, if I'm honest. Willr0ck made the medallions and said he had something like this in mind as an interpretation of the "Challengers Series" and I added the part about the champion getting a shot if they defend the belt three times. Also, while I'm at it, big thanks to willr0ck, King Bison, southside_hitmen and others for the logos, banners, belts, portraits and other graphics. The stables part, I think it's kind of integral to Japanese wrestling and it certainly helps my booking/storytelling when there's no angles. I also made the switch after the Maeda GP from "Wrestling as Sport" to "Royal Puroresu" and it'll take 3 months to be implemented. Sounds like a switch from Inoki's Strong Style to Baba's King's Road style, but it's what I've been writing it out as anyway and in terms of the game, the only difference is I drop the requirement of a Technical Masterclass match in each show, which makes things easier.

Blast Ikoma defeated Yoshisada Matsuzawa in 16:18 by pinfall with a Northern Lights Bomb. [62] ~ Block leaders Ikoma and Matsuzawa clashed in the main event of the evening, with the Seven Samurai's lieutenant getting to work with his wide array of explosive suplexes to weaken his opponent's neck and back. Matsuzawa responded with some stiff shots and even took the fight to the outside for a brawl, showing he can drop the comedy stuff when the occasion requires it. With the match back in the ring, Matsuzawa was able to reverse suplex attempts, either with strikes or cutters and jawbreakers, but when Ikoma finally managed to daze him enough in order to deliver the Northern Lights Bomb, there was no kicking out of that. ~ Giant Brody controlled the early part of his match through brute strength, but Torii kept coming back against the odds with a simple, yet viciously effective plan: chop the big man's leg and bring him down for all sorts of chops, elbows and forearm strikes. It literally felt as if the leader of Dawnguard was trying to bash his opponent's face in and it paid off in the end when all the damage caught up to Brody, slowing him down and disorienting him enough for Torii's final salvo, capped with his deadly Spinning Forearm Smash that nearly knocked out the big man. ~ Mabuchi Furusawa got his first points in the GP after his shocking loss to Matsuzawa in the opening night, all the while causing cracks in the armor of Dread Army. Savage delivered a beatdown with brutal efficiency, but Furusawa's warrior spirit kept him pushing through again and again, regardless of the odds, until he could muster his comeback with some stiff kicks to the arm of Savage to soften it up for the armbar. </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";">B Block Standings 6 Blast Ikoma 3 Yoshisada Matsuzawa 3 Atto Savage 3 Mabuchi Furusawa 3 Bunrakuken Torii 0 Giant Brody</div>

[75] ~ Big match in the main event, with Razan Okamoto taking Yoshinaka Taku to a twenty minute time limit draw after an exciting contest. Okamoto survived despite getting hit twice with the Full Nelson Bomb, pushing through in a display of warrior spirit and hitting his own Brainbuster Suplex in response. Sadly, it proved to be too little too late and the bell for the time limit sounded just as he was making the cover and before the referee could count. ~ In the other GP matches of the show, SUKI scored his first three points on the board with a submission win over Rokuemon Matsushita, the big man still stumbling at this early stage of the tournament. Azumamaro Kita now remains the only man with no points yet, as he suffered defeat at the hands of Big Bruiser Findlay in a short but violent contest. ~ Masashi Urogataya's technical skill and crushing Jumbo Backdrop Suplex finisher carried him to victory over Dynamite Narahashi in a fast paced, exciting match. Urogataya now holds two of the three Challengers Series Medallions and will likely be facing FEAR soon to determine which of the two will be getting a shot at Tanyu Toshusai and the Challengers Series championship. </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> A Block Standings 4 Yoshinaka Taku 4 Razan Okamoto 4 Big Bruiser Findlay 3 SUKI 1 Rokuemon Matsushita 0 Azumamaro Kita</div>

[70] ~ More shocks and surprises in the first night of the B Block, with pretty much every singles match resulting in the loss of the apparent favourite. Atto Savage kicked things off in a brutal brawl against Giant Brody, matching his ferocity as well as his athleticism to stay in the bout and chip away at the big man, until Brody was brought down for the Savage Claw to be applied. ~ Cheeky underdog Yoshisada Matsuzawa was able to endure Furusawa's offensive barrage until the opportune moment to surprise him with a DDT. Matsuzawa played head games for most of the match in order to get under his opponent's skin, using Furusawa's overconfidence as well as his mounting frustration to disorient him and scoop up the win. ~ In the big main event, the leader of Dawnguard went up against Seven Samurai's de facto #2. Torii showed fire and kept battering his opponent for extended periods of time, whereas Ikoma didn't have any long bouts of offense but he pulled out the win after consistently suplexing his opponent throughout the match until Torii's back and neck could take no more. </div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";">B Block Standings 3 Blast Ikoma 3 Yoshisada Matsuzawa 3 Atto Savage 0 Mabuchi Furusawa 0 Giant Brody 0 Bunrakuken Torii</div>

Yoshinaka Taku defeated SUKI in 18:28 by pinfall with a Full Nelson Bomb. [73] ~ A shocking start to this year's Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix, with results hinting at an extremely unpredictable tournament. Big Bruiser Findlay and last year's winner Rokuemon Matsushita were unable to put each other down before hitting the 20 minute time limit, while in the main event, Yoshinaka Taku scored a big win over the man who had just previously wrestled (and almost defeated) the BCG World champion in a 40 minute marathon, SUKI. ~ The returning Razan Okamoto also chalked up his first victory against the tournament rookie Kita, showing no signs of ring rust or being slowed down by any lingering effects of his past injury. The former SAISHO star put on a valiant effort, taking the contest past the 15 minute mark but was unable to stop Okamoto in his big return match. ~ As usual, the undercard consisted of multi-man matches to set up the bouts for the B Block, but it is worth noting that in one of them, Masashi Urogataya was able to pin Dynamite Narahashi.

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Seven Samurai Funakoshi Bulky Middleweight Impactful Wrestler From: Kagawa, Japan. 33 years old, 14 years pro, 8 years in BCG If you were somehow able to take the concept of puroresu and use it to create a human being, you would likely come up with Funakoshi; his short, thick torso and powerful thighs give him good power and endurance, his tenacity allows him to keep on fighting to the very end, his technical skills ally well with his strong striking, and he has the fighting spirit of an ancient samurai. Part of the initial Black Canvas Grappling roster, Funakoshi seems to have found his natural home and has become a major success story - defeating the legendary Pistol Pete Hall for the BCG World championship in May 2013 being the key moment that effectively cemented his position as a 'made man' and the star of the company. A sure-fire future Hall of Famer, Funakoshi is the rock that BCG is built upon. Blast Ikoma Toned Middleweight Impactful Wrestler From: Sapporo, Japan. 31 years old, 12 years pro, 8 years in BCG Noburo 'Blast' Ikoma is a Japanese worker who got his nickname from his high-impact suplexes, his favourite trick being to suplex his opponent into the turnbuckles at pace for a visually devastating attack. After gaining a few years of experience on the independent circuit Ikoma got his first big break when he was signed to be part of the original Black Canvas Grappling roster. A regular title holder who is versatile enough to have a good match with absolutely anyone, Ikoma is firmly established as one of BCG's top stars. Kadonomaro Kamisaka Light Heavyweight Impactful Wrestler From: Akita, Japan. 30 years old, 8 years pro, 6 years in BCG "Serene K" Kadonomaro Kamisaka is a Japanese wrestler who is noted for his complete expressionlessness, giving the exact same blank look whether he's on the attack, defence, or giving an interview. He is a very scrappy, tenacious fighter; he tends to batter his opponents with forearm blows in order to soften them up for one of his many neck-busting suplexes. The opponent's neck is generally his target throughout matches as he works towards his Triangle Choke finisher. He joined BCG in late 2013 and has fit in well as a solid, dependable midcard wrestler. Kiyotaka Toned Middleweight Technician From: Kumamoto, Japan. 30 years old, 7 years pro, 6 years in BCG Known only by one name, much like Madonna, Prince, and Garfield, Kiyotaka has been wrestling since he graduated from the Tokyo Wrestling Dojo in 2012. Very much a grappler's grappler, his style consists of getting hold of his opponent and putting them on the mat where he can work them over with painful holds and submission attempts. He got his first big break in 2013 when he was signed by BCG and his all-business approach has ensured that the fans have quickly grown to respect him, even if his lack of charisma means they haven't totally embraced him as anything other than a midcard workhorse. Roku Sotomura Middleweight Technician From: Saitama, Japan. 41 years old, 23 years pro, 8 years in BCG The veteran Roku "The Rock" Sotomura is a fine technical wrestler from Japan who doesn't get the attention that his skills deserve, probably because his low-intensity low-impact style can come across as very dull; Sotomura is sometimes jokingly called "The Master Of The Chinlock" by his peers, due to his love of a nice tight rest hold. After initially making a name for himself via a two year stint with INSPIRE, he has gone on to become better known for his lengthy run as a midcard mainstay for Black Canvas Grappling. Nobuharu Yokokawa Bulky Middleweight Regular Wrestler From: Kyoto, Japan. 40 years old, 18 years pro, 8 years in BCG Nobuharu Yokokawa is a journeyman professional who was a fixture on the Japanese independent scene for many years. In 2011 he was hired by Black Canvas Grappling, the first time he had gained employment with a 'big name' group, and - perhaps thanks to the guidance of the legendary Yoshifusa Maeda - has started putting on the best performances of his career. In particular, he has developed a nasty streak to his in-ring work that really adds to his aura. A staple of the BCG undercard, he has been a good servant for the company thus far. Sojuro Sen Flabby Middleweight Brawler From: Kanagawa, Japan. 35 years old, 15 years pro, 8 years in BCG Sojuro Sen is a tough-as-nails competitor from Japan, best known for having been with Black Canvas Grappling since their debut show. Noted for his ferocious knife edge chops, Sen loves blasting away at his opponent's chest until it looks like hamburger meat. He has adopted an over-the-shoulder backbreaker as his finisher of choice and somehow gotten it over big time despite how archaic it is. The wiley, cranky veteran has become a staple of the BCG midcard.</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Dawnguard Bunrakuken Torii Muscular Middleweight Impactful Wrestler From: Shizuoka, Japan. 30 years old, 11 years pro, 8 years in BCG "Machine Gun" Bunrakuken Torii is a rising star in Japan and one of the first break-out stars that Black Canvas Grappling unearthed. An athletic 240lber, Torii gained his nickname because of his rapid fire forearm attacks, used especially when he's backed an opponent into a corner and can really unleash hell; the forearm is actually the basis of a large percentage of his moves, including a sweet flying forearm from the top rope and his finisher, the spinning forearm smash. Known for his warrior spirit, Torii has become one of BCG's biggest stars and was the first wrestler to win the BCG Quadruple Crown during his amazing 2014-2015 period where he was absolutely on fire. Toshinobu Taku Bulky Middleweight Regular Wrestler From: Osaka, Japan. 53 years old, 35 years pro, 8 years in BCG The veteran Toshinobu Taku is a solid technical worker who has drifted on and off the roster of nearly every company in Japan at some point. Although ultra-solid and dependable, Taku's issue has always been that he is just too dull to become a star. In December 2011 he joined Black Canvas Grappling and, possibly realising that it was likely to be his last chance to make a mark on pro wrestling, debuted in the best shape of his career and with a new fire to his ring-work. He also began teaming a lot with his son, Yoshinaka Taku, and they achieved the rare feat of being father-son tag team champions in 2015. Now past 50, Taku is slowing down and talk of retirement is in the air. Yoshinaka Taku Toned Light Heavyweight Regular Wrestler From: Hiroshima, Japan. 28 years old, 9 years pro, 8 years in BCG Yoshinaka Taku is a Japanese wrestler, the son of the veteran Toshinobu Taku. The youngster first came to fame in December 2011, just over a year after his debut, when he was picked up to be part of the initial Black Canvas Grappling roster - probably as a favour to his dad, who was also working for them. He initially spent most of his time teaming with his father, a useful way of building his skills and confidence, achieving the rare feat of being part of a father-son championship winning tag team in 2015. More recently he has been working solo more and more often, and is widely tipped for a future starring role in the company. Naozane Goto Bulky Big Heavyweight Regular Wrestler From: Fukushima, Japan. 27 years old, 5 years pro, 5 years in BCG Naozane Goto is a former sumo competitor who has since switched to professional wrestling. Weighing in at 380lbs, he is not a small man by any means but he is not unhealthily fat either, he simply has a naturally bulky physique. His attacking style is based around that size, combined with his surprising agility, and centers around moves like big splashes, high velocity reverse avalanches, and belly to belly suplexes. He joined BCG after turning pro and is slowly being built up as a star, with the company's management clearly seeing his combination of size and charisma as being very marketable. Ichiro Mitsukuri Muscular Light Heavyweight Powerhouse Wrestler From: Kyoto, Japan. 22 years old, 3 years pro, 2 years in BCG A 2016 graduate of GCG's dojo, Ichiro Mitsukuri is a promising young wrestler who worked opening matches for the company during its final year in business. A muscular 280lber who likes to bully opponents with raw power, Mitsukuri's performances showed enough promise that he was signed up by Black Canvas Grappling after GCG went bust. He has continued to impress and improve in his new home and has also formed a very promising tag team with another young wrestler who graduated in the same class as him, Koyo Kinoshita. Koyo Kinoshita Muscular Light Heavyweight Brawler From: Tokyo, Japan. 22 years old, 3 years pro, 2 years in BCG One of the final two graduates from GCG's dojo system, "Big K" Koyo Kinoshita is a well-muscled brawler who likes to pummel opponents with brute strength. Having paid his dues working opening matches for the company, after GCG's collapse Kinoshita was signed by BCG. Considering him a good prospect for the future he was put in a tag team with the man he graduated with, Ichiro Mitsukuri, and the two rookies have continued to develop their skills. Many feel that Kinoshita could be a big star one day. Suguru Emoto Muscular Light Heavyweight Brawler From: Gifu, Japan. 23 years old, 3 years pro, 2 years in BCG Suguru Emoto is a young Japanese wrestler who is notable for his dyed yellow hair. A big tough kid, he likes to brawl it out and is never shy about trading hands. He joined Black Canvas Grappling in 2017, one of the last signings made by Kazu Yoshizawa during his reign as booker. Emoto has started his career with BCG strongly and looks like a really promising prospect for the future.</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Pillars of Puroresu Mabuchi Furusawa Toned Light Heavyweight Regular Wrestler From: Toyoma, Japan. 33 years old, 12 years pro, 2 years in BCG Mabuchi Furusawa is the youngest son of the Japanese legend Hanshiro Furusawa, the former owner and two-time champion of Golden Canvas Grappling. Whether Mabuchi can ever hope to match his father's career achievements is questionable, but what is for sure is that he is a very similar worker and is rapidly becoming a great worker in his own right. As you'd expect, Mabuchi was signed to a deal by GCG as soon as was possible, and he had a very successful run with them right up until their collapse. Within days of GCG's closure Furusawa was announced as having signed with BCG, a company that many feel is his spiritual home. His rapid ascent has continued in his new home and he is considered one of their crown jewels. SUKI Muscular Middleweight Regular Wrestler From: Sapporo, Japan. 33 years old, 15 years pro, 2 years in BCG SUKI (Ryunosuke Matsuki) is a gifted wrestler who was trained in the Golden Canvas Grappling dojo. Having gained experience by working the independent scene for a few years, SUKI joined the main GCG roster in 2008 and quickly established himself as one of the brightest young prospects in the company. Originally a slim 218lbs, he also bulked up to a more substantial 240lbs over the course of his GCG career, allowing him to stand toe-to-toe with some of the bigger men on the roster. By the time GCG collapsed SUKI was a two-time World champion, two-time Openweight champion, and was clearly being positioned as the next 'ace' of the company. Post-GCG, SUKI was one of the few members of the roster to sign with their rivals, BCG, and has become one of their biggest draws. Tanyu Toshusai Toned Middleweight Regular Wrestler From: Osaka, Japan. 30 years old, 8 years pro, 6 years in BCG Tanyu Toshusai is the nephew of the legendary Japanese wrestler Yoshinaka Toshusai. His uncle is one of the few men to have won world titles in both GCG and BHOTWG and was a superb worker when in his prime. Tanyu, the son of Yoshinaka's younger brother Keiji, is rapidly turning into a high quality worker in his own right. His first big break happened in 2013 when he was signed by Black Canvas Grappling. Since then he has gone on to be a stalwart for the company, and although he hasn't quite cracked the main event scene he is nonetheless a valuable member of the roster and a regular producer of excellent matches when given the right opponent. Masashi Urogataya Toned Middleweight Regular Wrestler From: Shiga, Japan. 32 years old, 9 years pro, First year in BCG Masashi Urogataya is a Japanese wrestler who is a product of the Pride Glory Honor Wrestling dojo. The best word to describe him would be 'solid'; he is never flashy, but at the same time he hardly wastes a single movement in the ring as he's always working towards some purpose. He is at his best up close, whether chain wrestling or working over a grounded opponent, but he's tough enough to exchange strikes too. After PGHW passed on the chance to sign him, Urogataya spent a few years gaining experience on the independent scene before being signed by GCG in 2014. His run with them was highlighted by a GCG Openweight Championship win where he upset Namboku Makuda for the belt. Danjuro Kikuchi Middleweight Technician From: Saitama, Japan. 24 years old, 5 years pro, First year in BCG Danjuro Kikuchi is a technical wrestling specialist. He is unashamedly an old fashioned fighter, from his methodical working of a body part right through to his plain black trunks and wrestling boots, and that is both his strength and his weakness. It is a strength, as you always know what you are getting from him, reliable technical wrestling with no gimmicks or short-cuts. It's his weakness, as he does come across as being out of place in modern Japan. Kikuchi joined GCG in late 2015, having spent a year gaining experience on the independent scene, and was a steady lower midcard presence up until they closed in March 2017. Ryobe Uno Light Heavyweight Impactful Wrestler From: Aichi, Japan. 21 years old, 3 years pro, First year in BCG Ryobe Uno was a 2016 graduate of the Golden Dojo, part of the final class to ever come out of that highly respected facility. He would spend the year after graduation as a young boy on the GCG roster, only to then be left out of work when the company closed in March of 2017. Since then, Uno has been working the independent scene and (unsuccessfully) trying to find regular work with a name company. A rugged customer, he loves to get in close and fight at close-quarters, especially when he has time to start using his many suplex variations. He is very comfortable using submissions too and has numerous leglocks at his disposal. With time and patience he could be turned into a very decent worker.</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Okamoto-gun Razan Okamoto Muscular Lightweight Regular Wrestler From: Osaka, Japan. 29 years old, 11 years pro, 8 years in BCG One of the bright young stars of Japanese wrestling, Razan Okamoto was discovered by Black Canvas Grappling and has been wrestling for them since their first show. A quick, athletic wrestler, Okamoto's big strength is actually on defence - his selling is extraordinary, he simply has the natural ability to suck people into caring about him. That, plus his cheeky charisma, makes him a natural fan favourite and have allowed him to become an established presence at the top of the card. Many people see him as a BCG Hall of Famer in the making. Inejiro Yoshizawa Light Heavyweight Regular Wrestler From: Kyoto, Japan. 33 years old, 15 years pro, 8 years in BCG Inejiro Yoshizawa (no relation to the legendary Kazu Yoshizawa) is known mostly for his tag team work alongside Noritoshi Miura. Originally called The Apocalypse Riders and wearing face paint and armour (a name and gimmick given to them during a one-shot appearance for WLW), Yoshizawa was called Spirit Of The Lizard and the duo primarily worked the independent scene. In late 2011 they joined Black Canvas Grappling as part of the debut roster, a move that saw them revert to their real names and adopt a more serious attitude - the change marked a new beginning for them, one they embraced fully as they are now regarded as BCG's best specialist tag team. Noritoshi Miura Light Heavyweight Brawler From: Tokushima, Japan. 32 years old, 14 years pro, 8 years in BCG Noritoshi Miura is best known as a tag team wrestler, being the regular partner of Inejiro Yoshizawa. They first came to fame as The Apocalypse Riders, a team that was created for a one-shot appearance in WLW that saw them wearing colourful face paint and spiked armour - Miura was called Spirit Of The Shark. They retained that gimmick for several years on the independent circuit, right up until they joined Black Canvas Grappling's initial roster. Realising that their gimmicky look would not go over well with the BCG audience, they instead appeared under their real names and adopted patriotic Japanese outfits to get themselves noticed. The change has done wonders for them and they have become a fine, championship-winning tandem in BCG. Dynamite Narahashi Toned Middleweight Regular Wrestler From: Fukuoka, Japan. 36 years old, 18 years pro, 8 years in BCG Moromao "Dynamite" Narahashi is an energetic worker who got the nickname "Dynamite" thanks to his deadly Narahashi Cutter, probably the most explosive finishing move in Japanese wrestling history. A lot was expected from Narahashi early on in his career, not least after he was voted Rookie Of The Year by the press in 2004 following a great year of matches in BHOTWG. The weight of expectation clearly became a burden though and his career dipped dramatically after, resulting in him quietly leaving the company a few years later. He resurfaced as part of BCG initial roster in 2011 and has done a good job of rebuilding his career with them, now being valued as a hard working and dedicated member of the crew. Yoshisada Matsuzawa Muscular Middleweight Regular Wrestler From: Kochi, Japan. 36 years old, 15 years pro, 8 years in BCG A solid professional, Yoshisada Matsuzawa drifted around the Japanese independent scene for many years prior to being signed by Black Canvas Grappling in December 2011 to be part of their very first show. Having impressed with his work ethic and attitude, he was kept around and has gone on to be one of the staples of the company's midcard. Not a spectacular wrestler by any means, what Matsuzawa brings to the table is professionalism and reliability. Since joining BCG he has also displayed a hitherto unsuspected level of charisma and is the one member of the roster who may occasionally throw in a cheeky comedy spot to pop the crowd (and the boys).</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Bruiser Brigade Big Bruiser Findlay Flabby Big Heavyweight Brawler From: Cobb County, Georgia, USA. 35 years old, 14 years pro, 5 years in BCG Findlay O'Farraday is a big brawler from Cobb County, Georgia. The 300lb southerner made his name in Mid Atlantic Wrestling where he was the most dominant wrestler in the company's history, winning multiple titles during his career there. Towards the end of his seven year stint with MAW he also started working regularly for BCG in Japan, having been recommended by the legendary Pistol Pete Hall who had seen him in action and been extremely impressed by his physicality. Working as Big Bruiser Findlay, he has slowly been built up as the main gaijin threat and become renowned for his ultra-physical matches. Giant Brody Muscular Big Heavyweight Powerhouse Wrestler From: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. 33 years old, 11 years pro, 4 years in BCG Leon "Giant" Brody is a 6'9, 326lb monster of a man. At first glance he may appear to be a generic brawler, using the same stand-up slugfest style as many of his peers, but upon closer inspection you can see that he has surprising agility for a big guy and that there are some decent high risk moves in his arsenal (including a truly wicked plancha dive). Brody was under a development deal with the SWF between 2009 and 2012 but was eventually released and told to go and gain experience working the independent scene. Since then he has been working regularly for FCW in Puerto Rico and with Black Canvas Grappling in Japan. The SWF's interest in him seems to have cooled as it has been a long time since he was with them, but he's having a decent career regardless. Animal Harker Toned Light Heavyweight Brawler From: Dallas, Texas, USA. 34 years old, 11 years pro, 4 years in BCG Scott "Animal" Harker is a wild brawler from Dallas, Texas, who some see shades of the late great Wild Man Sullivan in. The 280lb bruiser is fairly limited in terms of technique, but makes up for that with an intense attack style and a willingness to take a beating. He also seems to have a natural ability to get a crowd on his side, as even though he hardly ever touches a microphone he always seems to have the fans rooting for him. He has become known for his work with two companies in particular, NYCW and BCG.</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Dread Army FEAR Muscular Super Heavyweight Regular Wrestler From: Parts Unknown. 22 years old, 4 years pro, First year in BCG FEAR is the latest graduate of the TITAN Factory and for all intents and purposes, looks to be the second coming of Dread. The 6'6, 450lbs monster is not just intimidating but also incredibly agile, with speed and athleticism that shouldn't even be possible for a man of his size. Under Dread's watchful eye he could well develop into something special. Abomination Muscular Heavyweight Brawler From: Parts Unknown. 29 years old, 5 years pro, First year in BCG Abomination is a big powerful heavyweight trained by Dread at the TITAN Factory in 2014. He is best known for being one half of tag team The Horror, working alongside Monstrosity, and being a part of "The Dread Army" in BCG. Monstrosity Ripped Heavyweight Brawler From: Parts Unknown. 29 years old, 5 years pro, First year in BCG Monstrosity is a big powerful heavyweight trained by Dread at the TITAN Factory in 2014. He is best known for being one half of tag team The Horror, working alongside Abomination, and being a part of "The Dread Army" in BCG. Atto Savage Bulky Big Heavyweight Regular Wrestler From: Suva, Fiji. 29 years old, 4 years pro, First year in BCG Atto Radradara is one of the latest TITAN Factory rookies who portrays a rather cliche "Cannibal Savage" Flesheater, gimmick that seems to have been plucked straight from the 70's-80s wrestling scene. Originally hailing from Fiji, Atto moved to Australia in his teens to play rugby. While still portraying a rough man from the Pacific islands In BCG, he has dropped the Flesheater name and wrestles as Atto Savage.</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Rokuemon Matsushita Bulky Big Heavyweight Powerhouse Wrestler From: Nagasaki, Japan. 30 years old, 9 years pro, 8 years in BCG The charismatic Rokuemon Matsushita is a massive Japanese worker who was discovered by Black Canvas Grappling while he was just a rookie. Standing 6'7 tall and at 375lb, Matsushita towers over most opponents and uses his bulk well, dominating with weight-based moves like avalanches, splashes, and bear hugs. He definitely has the potential to be something special and BCG have been very careful to build him up slowly but surely - nobody else on the roster has enjoyed quite such protective booking as Matsushita. All that effort has worked though, as he's now a regular in the main event scene and poised to become one of their big stars in the near future. Sharaku Okimasa Middleweight Technician From: Niigata, Japan. 33 years old, 13 years pro, 8 years in BCG Sharaku Okimasa is a relatively bland Japanese worker who is best known for his long stint with Black Canvas Grappling; he has been with them since their very first show. A technician, Okimasa is perfectly adequate in terms of in-ring skills but lacks the fire or charisma that would allow him to be anything more than a solid midcarder. Sofu Ozawa Middleweight Regular Wrestler From: Osaka, Japan. 47 years old, 28 years pro, 6 years in BCG Sofu Ozawa, who sometimes also works as Tsunami Ozawa, is a veteran all-rounder who can always be relied upon to put on a solid performance but who has equally always lacked the spark that would make him something other than a reliable midcarder. After a long career on the independent scene, in 2013 he finally joined a 'name' group when he became a member of the BCG roster. A perfect fit for his style of ring work, Ozawa has done well in BCG in what is almost certainly his last few years as an active wrestler before retirement. Yoriie Ippitsusai Middleweight Regular Wrestler From: Nara, Japan. 47 years old, 26 years pro, 8 years in BCG A Japanese veteran, Yoriie Ippitsusai is Mr. Dependable, the man who will always deliver a solid no-frills performance, a trait that makes him very valuable for helping build up less experienced workers. Having drifted around the independent scene and smaller groups for most of his career, Ippitsusai got a big break when BCG hired him in December 2011. Although now getting to the tail end of his career, he's still a useful member of the roster and an invaluable voice of experience. Azumamaro Kita Muscular Middleweight Striker From: Osaka, Japan. 28 years old, 9 years pro, First year in BCG Azumamaro Kita is a talented worker who is known for his aggressive, strike-based attacks, often using Muay Thai inspired kicks and elbows to slug away at his opponent. After a strong year of performances on the independent scene in 2011, Kita caught the eye of Pro Wrestling SAISHO's management and he was signed to a deal. He has proven to be a great signing for them and has emerged as one of their true stars, until he spectacularly walked out on the company, only to be picked up by BCG. Conner Threepwood Lightweight Regular Wrestler From: Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. 33 years old, 15 years pro, First year in BCG Conner Threepwood is a wrestler from Indiana who is probably best known for his seven year run with NOTBPW in Canada where he worked under the name Jason O'Conner, one half of the Fighting Irish tag team alongside Robbie McNamara. Originally trained by Acid, he was one the brightest talents on the US independent scene in the mid 2000s, then working as 'C. H. Threepwood', prior to going to NOTBPW. Since leaving them he has returned to America and is a regular sight on the independent scene once again. Marvel Malloy Muscular Lightweight Technician Flyer From: Orlando, Florida, USA. 28 years old, 8 years pro, 2 years in BCG James 'Marvel' Malloy is a Floridian wrestler who teams with his best friend Storm Spillane as The American Cobras. A high flyer who is noted for his aggressive style of attack, Malloy obviously loves Japanese wrestling as he uses lots of cutting edge moves which he has clearly gotten from tapes of PGHW, WLW, and co. The Cobras were signed by CZCW in 2013 for their first taste of fame and quickly gaining a reputation as being one of the best and most exciting young tag teams in the business. They have since gone on to work regularly for OLLIE in Mexico and BCG in Japan too. One of the busiest and most in-demand tag teams on the world stage, it is surely a matter of when, not if, that a major company locks them down to a big money exclusive deal. Storm Spillane Toned Lightweight Impactful Wrestler From: Orlando, Florida, USA. 28 years old, 8 years pro, 2 years in BCG Jake "Storm" Spillane is one half of The American Cobras tag team alongside Marvel Malloy, his best friend since childhood. The team first came to fame with CZCW in 2013, where their fantastic matches with a variety of opponents led to them to becoming break-out stars, winning the CZCW tag titles and being the first ever COTT World Tag Team champions. They have gone on to become one of the most in-demand teams in North America, working regularly not only for CZCW but also for OLLIE in Mexico and BCG in Japan. Spillane dates Britney Hollywood, his CZCW manager, in real life. Omezo Shikitei Ripped Middleweight Technician From: Saga, Japan. 30 years old, 10 years pro, First year in BCG Omezo Shikitei is a Japanese fighter who came to professional wrestling with a fine reputation as an amateur competitor. His in-ring style is one of technical excellence, focusing on taking the opponent down to the canvas where he can apply submission holds and pinfall attempts. If there is one criticism of his work, it is that he comes across as very cold and calculating, as if the match is more an exercise in pure technique than a battle. If he shows more passion, he could go far. He got his first break in wrestling with the Hinote Dojo in 2013, and was still with them when they were closed the following year. Since then he has been busy honing his craft on the independent scene. Ray Snow Muscular Lightweight Impactful Wrestler From: Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. 33 years old, 11 years pro, First year in BCG "Ice Cold" Ray Snow is a hard-hitting wrestler from Minnesota. An all-business type, Snow comes to the ring ready for war and unleashes stiff strikes and precision wrestling without much in the way of theatrics or playing to the crowd. He had a three and a half year run with IPW from 2011 onwards, his first taste of fame, but while his matches were generally very good it was not the right atmosphere for him and he failed to win over the fans. Fast forward to early 2019 and he was hired by NYCW head booker Steve Flash to be one of the company's workhorses, likely partly to replace the soon-to-retire Flash himself, until he quit the company to travel to Japan and join BCG.</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Big Boss Emperor, Ginji Kisaka, Goro Hatamoto, Ikki Hosaka, Iron Hyodo, Kawanari Enomoto, Koan Chikanatsu, Nobuyuki Kubo, Noritaka Imakura, Ritsu Ibata, Shogo Awatari, Shuga Amano, Taiji Chajima, Takenori Doi, Wataru Kikumoto, Yunosuke Fujisaki, Yuta Isono, Yutaka Ogata</div> <div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Yoshifusa Maeda Owner, booker, road agent Referee Tawaraya, Gonkuro Nakanishi Referees Goemon Inoue, Shozo Kawamata, Naizen Uboshita Broadcast and announce team, commentary</div>

Black Canvas Grappling: Invasion of the TITANS

DarK_RaideR replied to DarK_RaideR's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 Dynasties

One man embodied the spirit of Golden Canvas Grappling more than any other - the legendary Yoshifusa Maeda, the former five time champion who stayed loyal through thick and thin. However, when GCG joined the controversial 'Modern Japan' movement in 2011 it proved too much; considering it an insult to both himself and the company's proud history, Maeda quit. Joined by his close friend Kazu Yoshizawa, Maeda founded Black Canvas Grappling as the true continuation of the 'roaring lion' tradition. Although GCG have since collapsed (thus fully justifying Maeda's decision), BCG continues to go from strength to strength. Size: Small Ranking: 11th (World), 5th (Japan) Product: Pure Old School Wrestling (Wrestling as a Sport) Hiring Rules: No wrestlers under Lightweight size, No wrestlers in a full face mask, Style can't be Comedy, Daredevil, Entertainer, Hardcore or Psychopath Champions BCG World The BCG World title has a short but glorious history and has the benefit of being treated with absolute respect by everyone in the company, as any good world title should be. 9th Champion Funakoshi [3x] Past Champions BCG World Tag Team Treated with huge respect, just like every BCG title, the World Tag Team belts are keenly prized and the associated title matches are often the highlight of the midcard. 14th Champions The Horror (Abomination & Monstrosity) Past Champions BCG Challengers Series Designed as a belt to groom the next contenders for the World title, the Challengers Series is taken very seriously and will even sometimes appear on tour shows as a way of selling some extra tickets. As per the rules, any holder of the title who succeeds in defending it three consecutive times gets to have a BCG World title match, while the three Medallions embedded in the belt are also competed for, with anyone managing to hold all three earning themselves a shot at the BCG Challengers Series title. 16th Champion Tanyu Toshusai [3x] Past Champions Tournaments and Achievements BCG Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix For many people the highlight of the BCG year, the Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix is a hard fought round robin tournament where the company's elite battle it out for the biggest honour in BCG. 2019 Winner Rokuemon Matsushita Past Winners 2018 - Razan Okamoto [2x] 2017 - Bunrakuken Torii [2x] 2016 - Funakoshi [3x] 2015 - Razan Okamoto 2014 - Bunrakuken Torii 2013 - Funakoshi [2x] 2012 - Funakoshi TagMania An annual Tag Team elimination tournament held every February.

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Fri. W2 March 2020 Osaka Athletic Stadium @ Kansai, Japan Attendance: 4.910, Rating: 76, Views: 43.971 (0.05 on Shogun TV) Pillars of Puroresu (Mabuchi Furusawa and Last of the Golden Lions) vs Conner Threepwood and The American Cobras The show opened with Conner Threepwood’s BCG debut, alongside still COTT World Tag Team champions, The American Cobras. Though relatively unknown in Japan, the trio was formidable in its wrestling ability and they showcased just that against the more popular team representing Pillars of Puroresu. This meant that Kikuchi and Uno worked most of the match and took the brunt of the offense, although Kikuchi especially had his moments of counterattack. This of course all led up to the veteran Furusawa getting the hot tag and although the audience cheered for him entering the match, Furusawa’s impact turned the tide but could not seal the deal as he effectively had three potential targets to try and soften up for his Furusawa Armbar. The disadvantage eventually was too much to overcome on his own and he was forced to take a break on the apron, leading to his less experienced teammates entering the match once again until the finish, where Spillane applied a Kneeling Boston Crab on Uno and squeezed a shameful submission out of him with what essentially was a young lion move. In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Conner Threepwood and The American Cobras defeated Pillars of Puroresu (Mabuchi Furusawa, Danjuro Kikuchi and Ryobe Uno) in 10:14 when Storm Spillane submitted Ryobe Uno with a Kneeling Boston Crab. [59] Dawnguard (Bunrakuken Torii, Yoshinaka Taku, Naozane Goto and Suguru Emoto) vs Seven Samurai (Blast Ikoma, Nobuharu Yokokawa and 3K) Most of Dawnguard’s members had been pretty vocal throughout the tour about the group being overlooked and they had a chance here to show BCG officials how wrong they were to not feature their faction more prominently. This setup gave their team an added urge and aggression to their wrestling, with Torii especially vocalizing his frustration in and out of the ropes. Ikoma and the Samurais looked serene in comparison, though their stoicism only served to highlight their clinical grappling skills. Every participant had a chance to shine, which meant the match itself played out as people coming in to do a couple of spots leading to a near fall or someone else getting involved to keep the action going, something that hurt things in terms of storytelling but is more or less to be expected in such crowded setups. The big finish saw Goto charge in like an enraged rhino to spear both members of 3K, then deliver the Goto Slam on Ikoma. With Yokokawa still the legal man, Goto tagged Torii in and the leader of Dawnguard ascended to the top, delivering a high flying version of his flying forearm finisher before scoring the pin. In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Dawnguard (Bunrakuken Torii, Yoshinaka Taku, Naozane Goto and Suguru Emoto) defeated Seven Samurai (Blast Ikoma, Nobuharu Yokokawa, Kadonomaro Kamisaka and Kiyotaka) in 16:17 when Bunrakuken Torii pinned Nobuharu Yokokawa with a Flying Forearm Off Top. [59] Challengers Series Medallion match Masashi Urogataya vs Sojuro Sen This was Urogataya’s first match in BCG and it came about after the injury of Roku Sotomura, whose Challengers Series Medallion was on the line for the winner to claim. Sotomura’s stablemate Sojuro Sen had offered to step in and take up his spot, something he did with admirable fighting spirit as he and Urogataya traded holds back and forth in a slick display of chain wrestling. Most of the grappling was done in a standing position though, with things rarely going down to the mat for submissions. Instead, both competitors opted to use the initial holds to set up bigger moves such as suplexes, slams and all sorts of throws. Sen struggled to get his opponent in position for his Over-The-Shoulder Backbreaker as things got near the finish, while Urogataya had to hit three Jumbo Backdrop Suplexes before he could finally keep the tough as nails veteran down for the three count. In a decent match, Masashi Urogataya defeated Sojuro Sen in 17:42 by pinfall with a Jumbo Backdrop Suplex. Masashi Urogataya wins the Medallion #2. [55] Challengers Series Medallion match Azumamaro Kita vs FEAR Kita probably got the worst deal following Sotomura’s injury, as instead of facing him, he ended up getting in the ring with FEAR. After impressing with his performances alongside The Horror, the apparent leader of Dread’s Army was given an opportunity and he made the most of it in a surprisingly good match against Kita. The former SAISHO star jumped straight into the match once the bell rang, chopping the big man down with his scything Muay Thai inspired kicks. FEAR is a big man who is usually the aggressor so his selling wasn’t the best in the world, but he quickly covered that up by countering with a spinebuster and going on offense to showcase both his power and surprising athleticism for a man his size. This was very much a clash of styles, not just those of the wrestlers but Eastern versus Western approaches, as FEAR had the size, power and big moves to pop the crowd but lacked the foundation for it all, as opposed to Kita’s rock solid grasp of the basics thanks to his dojo training and time as a young lion. In the end it didn’t do him much good though and despite putting up a big fight, Kita fell to the Fear Drive and the masked big man claimed his Challengers Series Medallion for Dread’s Army. In a bout that had decent wrestling but little heat, FEAR defeated Azumamaro Kita in 10:03 by pinfall with a Fear Drive. FEAR wins the Medallion #3. [48] Challengers Series Medallion match Dynamite Narahashi vs Rokuemon Matsushita In the last of the Challengers Series Medallions matches, Dynamite Narahashi had to defend his against the man who pinned him at TagMania, Rokuemon Matsushita. The big man obviously had the power advantage in this bout, but he also seemed to have an added sense of urgency to everything he did, as he is one of the few men on the BCG roster (and arguably the only big name star) who has not joined any of the factions, thus he was eager to prove that he can get the job done on his own. Matsushita and Narahashi wrestled a classic “David vs Goliath” match and it seemed they both fed off each other’s moves to make it more exciting. Eventually, Narahashi not only survived the beating and having his comebacks shut down, he was able to pull off a Narahashi Cutter out of nowhere for the surprise win. Despite the loss, Matsushita was cheered by the audience for his effort and with the Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix coming up, he is more or less expected to be in it, as champions and Medallion holders are traditionally kept out of the tournament. In a decent match, Dynamite Narahashi defeated Rokuemon Matsushita in 14:24 by pinfall with a Narahashi Cutter. Dynamite Narahashi makes defence number one of the Medallion #1. [47] BCG World Tag Team titles match 13th Champions Miura & Yoshizawa vs TagMania 7 Winners The Horror Finally, it was time for Miura and Yoshizawa to put their titles on the line against the menacing winners of TagMania 7, The Horror. Back when Abomination and Monstrosity entered that tournament, they weren’t expected to also win it as it was their first ever appearance in BCG, but they did and so they looked like they could also get a win here. What the champions had on their side though was experience, both as individual wrestlers but also as a team, something they made good use of with double team maneuvers in order to eliminate their challengers’ size and power advantage. This urge to bring down the opposition and go to a quick pin before the big men could do much damage set a fast pace for the bout, to which The Horror were able to keep up without gassing out despite their size. It was these qualities that allowed them to survive the champions’ rapid fire offense for almost ten minutes, before they shockingly nailed Inejiro Yoshizawa with their double team finisher, the Apocalypse Blast. Miura ran in to interrupt the cover but Abomination cut him off with a decapitating lariat, allowing Monstrosity to stay in position for the three count and just like that, The Horror won the BCG World Tag Team titles, claiming the first championship gold for Dread’s Army. In a bout that had great wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, The Horror defeated Miura & Yoshizawa in 10:02 when Monstrosity pinned Inejiro Yoshizawa with an Apocalypse Blast. The Horror win the BCG World Tag Team titles. [67] Atto Savage vs Big Bruiser Findlay Savage made his debut in TagMania filling in for the injured Animal Harker, but he turned against Findlay after the match to reveal his allegiance to Dread’s Army, so this match was personal. With The Horror also just having won the titles before and FEAR taking one of the Challengers Series Medallions off Azumamaro Kita, the idea of Savage defeating Findlay felt very real. The Big Bruiser wasn’t going to go down without a fight though and the match saw both big men trade crippling shots as well as some ring-shaking slams back and forth, much to the excitement of the live audience. Very much a brawl between two behemoths, the bout featured several power spots and some classic moves from Savage like the headbutt, a senton and a corner avalanche, but it was Findlay’s Atomic Spinebuster that wrapped things up in a spectacular moment of the Big Bruiser hitting it on an equally large opponent to give Dread’s Army their first big defeat. In a bout that had great wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Big Bruiser Findlay defeated Atto Savage in 9:32 by pinfall with an Atomic Spinebuster. [63] As everything was being set up for the night’s big main event, Razan Okamoto’s music hit the speakers and the fans erupted as the man himself came out to a big ovation. Absent since he injured his back in January, Okamoto cut a promo to announce he’s been medically cleared to return to the ring and confirmed that he will be participating in the Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix, which he aims to win. [68] BCG World title match 9th Champion Funakoshi vs Challenger SUKI SUKI earned this match in the semi main event of TagMania 7, when alongside Mabuchi Furusawa he managed to defeat Funakoshi and Blast Ikoma with a pinfall over the champion. Things were going to be very different in a one on one situation however and having this match during a show essentially dedicated to Funakoshi only served to add gravitas to the proceedings and realize that big fight feel. As most of these kind of matches, things were off to a slow start, with the competitors testing each other’s defenses and laying the groundwork for the story of the contest. SUKI seemed confident as well as patient while he tried to clinically break down the champion, while Funakoshi was his usual stoic self, delivering ultra stiff shots and crisp holds with clinical precision. Realizing this kind of action wasn’t doing him any big favors, SUKI eventually managed to take the fight to the outside of the ring, where he threw his opponent on the guardrail to soften him up. Funakoshi fired up and returned the favor with a flapjack counter that dropped his challenger on the barricade, but instead of keeping the pressure on, he used this opening to slide back into the ring. Once the champion had shown some signs of weakness, SUKI closed in like a shark smelling blood in the water, although he smartly avoided focusing on any specific body part in order to keep his opponent guessing whether he was looking to go for a Mountain SUKI or the SUKI Special III. This was a double edge sword though, as the onslaught wore down Funakoshi but it also fired up his warrior spirit and the champion seemed to make comebacks out of impossible situations only to offer free strikes and dare SUKI to hit him with everything he had. The two went back and forth for a whopping fourty minutes like that, keeping fans on the edge of their seats as things escalated with every move and in the end the audience erupted when Funakoshi finally nailed a Butterfly Backbreaker for his fourth, hard worked title defense. In an exceptional match, Funakoshi defeated SUKI in 39:22 by pinfall with a Butterfly Backbreaker. Funakoshi makes defence number four of the BCG World title.

He pushed me to the limit, but I did not break. The spirit of the Black Lion kept me fighting and I believe we gave fans a fight for the ages." SUKI: "Funakoshi holds that title for a reason, but I was also in that match for a reason. Tonight he was the better man, but I'll be wrestling for that title again sooner or later and when I have another opportunity, you better believe it's going to end up around my waist." FEAR: "We said we're not here to play. We're here to dominate. The Horror now hold the BCG World Tag Team titles and I'm on my way to becoming the next Challengers Series champion. Soon enough, all of the gold will be around our waists and everyone in Black Canvas will despair." Big Bruiser Findlay: "Everyone counted the Bruiser Brigade out until tonight. Said we were too few, said we lost Harker, all kinds of crap. Well look who gave those Dread kids their first taste of defeat."</div>

[CVerse97] Piledriver Wrestling: Where Starrs are made

DarK_RaideR replied to DarK_RaideR's topic in Total Extreme Wrestling 2020 Dynasties

Once the lights were out and the show was over, with everyone but himself and Dennis back at the locker room, Micky Starr put down his headset and patted his broadcast partner in the back before standing up to go to the boys and girls. He’d always remember to thank Dennis and offer some encouragement to the kid, even if it didn’t involve words. Micky remembered how awe-struck he was during his early days when any of the established guys paid him any attention, let alone gave him praise or pointers, so he would remind himself to do the same now that he was on the other side of the fence. The locker room was already in the middle of throwing a small party by the time he entered, guys sharing beers and hugging it out while others would ice their bruises or crack jokes from a nearby bench. The girls were congratulating Trauma Doll on her win and talking to each other about their match, except Tenille Ven of course, who was further to her side with her boyfriend, Aiden Nine. As soon as Micky walked through the door, everyone froze for a second in anticipation of his reaction. He wasn’t that strict about running the locker room, only things he’d ban were drugs and steroids, but the crew weren’t sure if he’d join in or talk them down for all this. Still, tonight was a special night and he wasn’t going to ruin it for these kids. “I wanna thank you all for tonight, and for all the nights you showed up to do what you do best” he began. “It’s been one hell of a year and you’re all the reason Piledriver Wrestling’s gone from strength to strength. Don’t just take my word for it either, we’ve got some folks moving up in the business to prove it. You know who you are, step right up.” Rich Money, Chris Bruins, Dario Shelton, R.T. Kayfabe and Jack Griffith broke out of the pack to form something resembling a line between the wrestlers and Starr. They were soon joined by Aiden Nine, with Ven looking over from afar. “As you all know, I came here to help the school and the company grow, so I can give back to this business. And in this business, it’s not just about who you are, it’s also about who you know. I’ve had my time with the SWF and although I can’t say I got any significant pull with the Eisens, I know they’ve been watching my moves. Watching you all. So of course when they bought out Rapid Pro Wrestling a few weeks ago, they made some calls. They offered contracts. So while I’m sad to see you guys go, I’m glad to know you’re moving on to bigger and better things. I could even say I’m proud of you.” The locker room burst into a round of applause and toasting, but Starr motioned them to calm down, as he wasn’t done. “Now, from what I’m hearing, RPW’s gonna be their greenhouse. A place to teach folks the SWF style and give them a shine before calling them up on the main roster. Give ‘em some exposure with the East Coast audience so they’ll get a reaction when they first show up on national television. It’s progress, but it’s not the end of the road. I don’t want you to get complacent, thinking you’ve made it or that it’s only a matter of time before you’re on an episode of Uprising or Supreme TV. This school has given them guys like Honest Frank and Enforcer Roberts, so you got some history to live up to. Give ‘em hell and again, thanks for everything you’ve done here.” Rich Money was the first to throw himself into a hug, patting Starr on the back as he thanked him for the opportunity. He’d been the top guy for a full year and Rich knew such things didn’t happen much in this day and age. He happily dropped the belt to Dark EAGLE and put him over on his way out, as was tradition. Micky had no doubt he’d be achieving great things in his career. Everyone else walked up to Starr for a hug or handshake, thanking him for the opportunity. Even young Jack Griffith, who’d only worked a few dark matches and one in the main show before he got snatched up. He knew that without Piledriver giving him a chance just weeks after he turned pro, he’d never be getting a paycheck from SWF this early. “Alright, you got a spare beer for this old man?” Starr exclaimed as the locker room once again burst into cheers. He grabbed one that was tossed to him, cracked it open and took a sip before realizing he hadn’t let it settle. Foam on his moustache, he downed a gulp and let the cool liquid soothe his throat that’d gone dry calling the show. This is surreal, he thought, celebrating the loss of nearly half the roster.
