A very well written piece, there.

I guess more work on this will come at the expense of the RockVerse and maybe your Granite Mountain diary, but I'm all for it

Always glad to see you back, whether it's a diary, graphics or mod. And you did all three!

Rokuemon Matsushita, Inejiro Yoshizawa, Noritoshi Miura, Funakoshi and Mabuchi Furusawa (21m 14s) when Big Bruiser Findlay pinned Inejiro Yoshizawa with an Atomic Spinebuster. [71] ~ An intense finale to the tour, with SUKI and Mabuchi Furusawa clashing in the ring. Despite the initial tension, 3K were quick to attack Furusawa from behind, taking him out of the match early but also ruining fans' expectations. ~ Yoshi Taku ended the tour with authority, making a statement when he pinned Toshusai in the semi main event. He and Ikoma are set to have a spectacular match for the BCG Challengers Series title, while Toshusai would do well to recover in light of his match against Okamoto. ~ Goto made the ring shake when he hit Giant Brody with the Goto Slam for the pin. Could this scene be repeated when the two big men meet one on one next? </div>

SUKI, Kadonomaro Kamisaka, Kiyotaka, Big Bruiser Findlay and Yoshinaka Taku def. Rokuemon Matsushita, Inejiro Yoshizawa, Noritoshi Miura, Funakoshi and Blast Ikoma (20m 34s) when Kadonomaro Kamisaka submitted Noritoshi Miura with a Triangle Choke. [69] ~ Kadonomaro Kamisaka redeemed himself for his Night 4 match result by tapping out Miura in a rough bout that saw Findlay run roughshot and Ikoma suplex nearly all of his opposition. ~ Bunrakuken Torii seems to have the magic touch, as every match he's in ends up stealing the show. Between him, Okamoto and Toshusai though, that contest was guaranteed to be something special and having technical wizards like Urogataya and Shikitei in it didn't hurt either. ~ Yoriie Ippitsusai and Yuta Isono's chemistry elevated the opener to a pretty decent fight, with Isono clearly outperforming the ageing veteran but still taking the pin as he pays his final dues before leaving on excursion. </div>

Rokuemon Matsushita, Razan Okamoto and Miura & Yoshizawa def. SUKI, Tanyu Toshusai and 3K (21m 19s) when Inejiro Yoshizawa pinned Tanyu Toshusai with a Yoshizawa Bomb. [60] ~ Another loss for the BCG World champion's newly formed group, albeit one they totally planned for. SUKI Squad focused their offense on weakening Rokuemon Matsushita, this Tanyu Toshusai had no support while wrestling and eventually got pinned. ~ More amazing matches in the semi main event, with a trio of former BCG World champions getting the win over their equally impressive opponents. Funakoshi, who seems to be in some sort of a funk since losing the title, managed to hit the Butterfly Backbreaker on Furusawa, who had suffered a shoulder injury earlier this year, pinning him for the win as he looks to clash with Big Bruiser Findlay. ~ Sharaku Okimasa faced his former partner in the night's second match and somehow, his natural chemistry with Shikitei was met with equally unnatural understanding between Urogataya and Ippitsusai, making for a bout that was as easy-flowing as it was emotional. This all ended with Okimasa tapping Ippitsusai out, thus symbolically burying their past as he moves on to -apperently- team regular with Shikitei. </div>

Rokuemon Matsushita, Blast Ikoma and Miura & Yoshizawa def. SUKI, Yoshinaka Taku and 3K (21m 06s) when Blast Ikoma pinned Kadonomaro Kamisaka with a Northern Lights Bomb. [60] ~ SUKI Squad suffered their first defeat in this tour where a member of the group got pinned, with Blast Ikoma taking down Kadonomaro Kamisaka. Ikoma's team had their work cut out for them with Matsushita struggling against the exhaustion of working past the damage 3K inflicted upon him at Sole Survivor, but with the trio's attention focused on further injuring the big man, Ikoma was able to feint and just when everyone expected him to focus his attention on Taku, he instead hit Kamisaka with a Northern Lights Bomb and got the pin. ~ Findlay finally managed to get a pin over Funakoshi, but it was in a multi man match and certainly not while Funakoshi held the BCG World title. The semi main event once more stole the show and it was as even as they come, with every team looking like they could have won. Findlay will be hoping to repeat his feat when he and Funakoshi meet one on one during the final show of the tour. ~ Bad news for Dynamite Narahashi, who broke his ribs by hitting the apron the wrong way as he fell out of the ring. While still able to wrestle despite the injury, BCG officials decided to play it safe and pull him out of the remainder of the tour, a move that will not be damaging the card of their upcoming show since Narahashi was not scheduled to appear. </div>

Rokuemon Matsushita, Tanyu Toshusai and Miura & Yoshizawa def. SUKI, Razan Okamoto and 3K (21m 24s) when Rokuemon Matsushita pinned Razan Okamoto with an One-Handed Choke Slam. [54] ~ SUKI Squad suffered their first loss this tour, but only because they ended up willingly letting Okamoto take the fall. Matsushita hit his finisher with authority on his much smaller opponent and might be starting to pick up momentum, though it was perfectly clear he really wanted to inflict punishment on the members of SUKI Squad. ~ Another show stealer in the semi main event, six major stars squaring off in a spectacular all out bout that nearly went on for twenty minutes. Findlay brought a major size and power advantage to his team but his efforts were not enough to ensure victory against the opposition, with Torii being absolutely on fire from start till he scored the pin over Furusawa. ~ After getting hit with Okamoto’s Brainbuster Suplex and getting pinned two nights ago, Giant Brody recovered by chokeslamming Narahashi to pick up the win. Brody’s scheduled hoss fight against Goto is highly anticipated despite the latter no longer holding the BCG Challengers Series title and when they meet, sparks will fly! </div>

Coronation Sunday, Week 3 July 2020 Athens, Southern Mediterranean, Greece Attendance: 100, Viewers: 87 (0.01) Tomohiko Yamagata comes out with a mic in hand to kick off the show. Yamagata: Last time I was in this ring, I did exactly what I had promised to do. I beat Giovanni Bruno, clean as a whistle, even though his New Breed buddies tried to prevent this by attacking me from behind right as I was making my entrance. My goal has not changed. Alberto Montero is next and I am pleased to announce that not only have RotO officials agreed to this match, they have made it the headliner of RotO’s upcoming new weekly TV show, Pro Wrestling Hero! The New Breed’s music hits and the group comes out in full force. Despite his recent defeat, Giovanni Bruno looks as upbeat as ever, oozing with sleazy overconfidence. Ryushi Ryusaki and Alberto Montero enter the ring, while Bruno and Yakovlev remain outside. Ryusaki: First of all, who do you think you are coming out to make such an announcement? Launching a new TV show is huge news. The kind of news that should be made public by figures important to this organization, like its officials. Or its champion. Montero: Second, you may have defeated Petrov Yakovlev, but I’m way more experienced than him, or you. Last time you got lucky over GB. I am where your luck runs out. I will make sure you never even get this close to the RotO Championship again. Montero drops the mic and swings at Yamagata, but his target manages to duck under the blow, run to the ropes and bounce back with a double dropkick into both him and Ryusaki! Bruno and Yakovlev immediately slide into the ring to assist their teammates and Yamagata, realizing he can’t hope to win against all four of them, uses his chance to roll out of the ring and escape backstage, leaving the New Breed furious in the ring. 60 Women’s championship Round Robin tournament Machiko Matsuda vs Serena Ventura In their final match of the tournament, Matsuda and Ventura put on a good match that was based on the former’s high flying ability and the latter’s all-round style that resulted in a bout that had a little bit of everything for everyone. Despite Ventura’s inexperience, Matsuda clearly was able to call the match and make up for it, the fiery German apparently catching on with the RotO crowd as she got a good share of cheers, including those after the end of the match when she managed to get an important victory over her more experienced opponent after she hit her with a Fisherman’s Suplex and held onto the bridge for the three count. Winner: Serena Ventura 39 Women’s championship Round Robin tournament MAYA vs Spider Isako MAYA wanted to end the tournament on a high note, despite barely missing the grand finals and a chance to wrestle for the title. Isako maybe lacked the experience of her opponent, but she more than made up for it in sheer viciousness. This mix led to a match with a lot of changes in pacing, from MAYA’s slower technical grind to Isako’s explosive, hard hitting knee strikes. Somewhat longer than one may have expected, the match went on for almost fifteen minutes before MAYA was able to trap her opponent in a Triangle Choke for the tap out. Winner: MAYA 42 A pre-taped message from Petter Eriksson aired next. Eriksson: Thorsten Sigurdsson… I may have won our match, but it did not happen the way I wanted it to. You may have sent me to the hospital, but I’m still here. In case my point isn’t making it through that thick skull of yours, we got unfinished business. I’ll see you in the ring. 63 w Remmy Skye vs Jester (with Aud Valkyrie?) Following Jester’s attack on Nathaniel Ca$ino and Skye making the save, this match was the next chapter in that story. Aud Valkyrie was also at ringside, half unwilling and half totally confused, on Jester’s corner. Skye was full of fire and brimstone as he moved around the ring but Jester, despite being a competent high flyer as well, prevented the match from becoming a spectacular high flying spotfest. Instead, he kept things grounded with some really stiff brawling and more than a few times risking disqualification. What saved Skye was Jester relying on Valkyrie’s intervention that never came, a fact that in turn had the masked maniac yell at her, the verbal abuse gaining him a lot of heat from the crowd. The arguing led up to a spot where Jester and Valkyrie were out of the ring and Skye flew over the top rop to crash on them both with a suicidal plancha. Sadly for him, taking things out of the ring was not the best course of action against the self-proclaimed “Mirthless Manhunter” and Jester was able to get a countout victory by handcuffing Skye to a guardrail and returning to the ring, laughing maniacally for the entire ten count as he savoured Skye’s frustration. Winner: Jester 36 INTERMISSION The Gentleman and The Pitbull are shown next. The RotO Tag Team titles are set on a table in front of them, displayed prominently as they speak. Howard: You gotta respect what Pitch Black bring to the table. Behind the black clothes and fancy names, these are two men who bring the fight. Who hit hard. We should know, we were the first people that got hit by them in RotO. Frye: We take them seriously, no doubt. But you can’t question the two of us either. Our accolades. The wars we’ve been in. Robert alone has wrestled the Moscow Mauler himself, Marat Kholkov, in a dog collar match! We are no strangers to pain. We are the RotO Tag Team champions for a reason. And we are going to prove our worth against all comers! 65 Women’s championship Round Robin tournament Blair Kerrigan vs Florida Simard Were this not the final match in the tournament for these two competitors, it would have been indifferent given their standings on the board. However, a victory was absolutely needed for Simard here if she wanted a last chance at the title and in turn, managing to spoil that would be a big redemption for Kerrigan. This setup added tension, drama and a sense of urgency to the match, which was elevated even further by the natural flow between these two women's styles in the ring. Kerrigan had some good moments but missed a crucial high risk move, allowing Simard to nail her with a neckbreaker and score the pin. Winner: Florida Simard 39 Women’s championship Round Robin tournament Cassie O’Peter vs Paula Edwards Since Simard ended the tournament at 15 points and held a tie breaker victory over Edwards, the Colorado native needed a win in the final match of the night, otherwise the gold would escape her. Much like in the previous match, this setup added the necessary tension to the bout and O'Peter pushed her opponent with some solid mat wrestling, managing to bring the massive Edwards to the ground. Despite powering her way out of a tough spot, Edwards was clearly frustrated and in turn got reckless with her offense, something'l O'Peter exploited to regain control, working over Edwards and exhausting her the longer the match went on. Not only was this very competitive, it also went past the twenty minute mark but ultimately Edwards demolished her opponent with a sit-out powerbomb, got the pin and made it to a 16 point total, thus winning the tournament to become the first ever RotO Women's champion. Winner: Paula Edwards 46 Show Rating 48

Ryusaki: I think after our last main event, Dovydas Vidmar is now out of any title discussion and squarely in the rearview mirror. The New Breed is running this show and we’re going to drag this company into the future kicking and screaming, even if that means disposing of all the NGW relics in it… Tomohiko Yamagata’s music interrupts and the man himself appears at the entrance. Yamagata: If you’re looking for a young and worthy challenger to face, look no further. And I know, you’ll say you’ve already defeated me, but that was before you had your New Breed buddies by your side and it was certainly before you got that title. But I’m not out here to request a championship opportunity, no. I’m here to tell you and all these people that I plan to earn myself a shot at that title around your waist. I’ve already defeated Petrov Yakovlev and tonight I will be facing Giovanni Bruno in the main event. Once I’ve disposed of that sleazy lounge lizard, it will be Alberto Montero’s turn. And once I’ve defeated him as well, you will have no choice but to face me! 60 Freak Out! vs Pitch Black As per the RotO Tag Team champions’ request, their mysterious attackers were offered a chance to show what they can do inside the ring and Freak Out! were their designated opponents for this debut. Given the over-the-top characters at play, this was largely a storytelling situation that showcased everyone’s characters and served to introduce the newcomers, announced as “Pitch Black”. First up was the face-painted juggernaut known as “The Void”, an unusual and slightly unnerving character who seemed to completely lack any sense of pain, as he not only no-sold his opponents’ offense, he lacked any sort of reaction or facial expression altogether. This was a stark juxtaposition to the silly antics of his opponents but it was enough to unsettle them and throw them off guard, as if fighting an unknown wrestler was not enough of a handicap. His masked partner, Vortex, brought the high flying spectacle to the Void’s hard hitting, almost earning some cheers from the fans for his moves before the Void got the tag once more to brutally pummel Notorious F.R.E.A.K. before taking him out with his vicious finisher, which announcers called “The Nullifier”. Winners: Pitch Black 31 Backstage, Dovydas Vidmar and Petter Eriksson are watching the show on a TV screen as they’re approached by the Gentleman and the Pitbull. Frye: Hate to say I told you so… There is strength in numbers, in unity, and the New Breed are proving just that. We did not stick together and where did that take us? Dovydas lost his title, Petter’s still bandaged from his last encounter with that mohawked madman… Eriksson only reacts with a grunt at the mention of his situation, but Howard quickly jumps in to calm things down. Howard: You saw what Pitch Black can do out there. We know we can take them in a straight match, but they’re not the types to play fair. They jumped us from behind once already. Vidmar: And you came to us for help, so you can hold on to your precious titles. I’m not buying this. Vidmar straight up stands and walks away. There is a tense moment where the RotO Tag Team champions look at Eriksson, waiting for his response. Eventually, the big Norwegian just shakes his head and walks away as well. 63 Women’s championship Round Robin tournament Gypsy Rose vs Machiko Matsuda Out of the title race and wrapping up a rather disappointing tournament, the two women did not seem to care and still went all out for the whole ten minutes, hitting big spot after big spot in an obvious attempt to save face and come out of this experience with their wrestling credibility intact. Rose was certainly the faster one and the better flier, but Matsuda had the experience to keep up and exploit every mistake her opponent made, allowing her to finally hit her Run-Up Rana for the pin. Winner: Machiko Matsuda 37 Women’s championship Round Robin tournament Blair Kerrigan vs MAYA Given the point totals at this point, MAYA was mathematically out of the title race but also the favourite in this match. Perhaps this is what made Kerrigan seem less invested in the match, as she lacked the fire and sense of urgency in her moves, which in turn resulted in some weak looking strikes and lazy dives. MAYA took her time and did not rush it, grounding her opponent and working her limbs, then just as she was getting a tad too predictable, she changed her game and managed to roll Kerrigan up to get the three count. Winner: MAYA 37 INTERMISSION Women’s championship Round Robin tournament Paula Edwards vs Spider Isako Despite coming into this match as the absolute favourite for the entire tournament, Edwards had her work cut out for her against the hard hitting Isako, who managed to connect with some vicious knee strikes early in the match and show her opponent she was not to be taken lightly. Unfortunately, Isako could not keep it up and her wrestling completely broke down as the match went on, allowing Edwards to easily gain the upper hand and pulverize her into submission. Winner: Paula Edwards 42 In a pre-taped video that aired next, Aud Valkyrie was shown strutting around a casino game room in a sparkly dress that accentuated her figure. When she eventually faced the camera, she began talking about gambling and taking risks, a speech that came across as a little strange due to her heavy Norwegian accent. Regardless, Aud’s mention of Nathaniel Ca$ino and Remmy Skye was all too obvious and the video ended with a familiar figure creeping in the background, the footage ending before he could catch up to Valkyrie. 19 Tomohiko Yamagata made his entrance next, signalling to the audience that the main event was up next. However, he barely made it to the entrance ramp before he got attacked from behind by Montero and Yakovlev. The New Breed duo roughed Yamagata up and dragged him to the ring, apparently not interested in taking him completely out but instead wanting to soften him up for Bruno to ensure an embarrassing loss for their victim. 48 Giovanni Bruno vs Tomohiko Yamagata Already starting at a disadvantage, Yamagata had the fans cheering for him in hopes of seeing a Cinderella story unfold and getting the joy of seeing the cocky Italian getting beat. Bruno made the best use of the situation, mocking his opponent with moves that were meant to hurt his ego more than his body, from slaps to hip attacks and moves that connected with the butt or groin area. Since the audience responded, Bruno took frequent breaks to pose, taunt Yamagata or antagonize fans in the front row. Those allowed Yamagata to bounce back with some desperate offence, but just as the audience thought he was in control, Bruno would roll out of the ring or get behind the ref or sneak in an illegal blow to put the breaks and frustrate the viewers by denying them the pleasure of seeing Yamagata defeat him. A textbook babyface versus heel match, this one provided a packed and entertaining ten minutes before Yamagata got his big adrenaline rush and managed to hit a few moves in a row, creating enough separation so he could ascend to the top turnbuckle and hit his Suicide Splash dive for the pin that had fans explode in cheers. Winner: Tomohiko Yamagata 60 Show Rating 58

[70] ~ A dominant start for the newly formed SUKI Squad, the trio showing deadly efficiency against Matsushita and the former BCG World Tag Team champions. Matsushita was out for revenge but still hasn't fully recovered from the attack after Sole Survivor's main event match and it cost him, certainly now and perhaps it might cost him again down the road. Joining SUKI seems to have lit a fire under 3K and they put up some great wrestling against the former champions, perhaps beginning to carve a path towards a tag title shot. ~ Three singles opponents met in a trios match in the semi main event, with Blast Ikoma surprising the newly crowned BCG Challengers Series champion by rolling him up to get the win. Furusawa and Okamoto seemed to be reeling still from their big four way match, while Torii was spectacular as ever. ~ Okimasa and Shikitei may have lost their match, but they displayed unusual chemistry as they instantly gelled much better than Okimasa ever managed to do with Yoriie Ippitsusai. There may be a tag team in the making there, helping Shikitei advance while providing Okimasa a replacement for his ageing partner. ~ Yuta Isono apparently began his series of trial matches, as the charismatic youngster has admittedly become way more popular than his experience would suggest. Isono is expected to take his polished persona and hot finisher to the States once this tour is over, though which company he will be joining is not known at this point. </div>

Another show! Solid promo by ONE and I'm liking where the Kajahara-Doan feud is going. Moar pls?

You can, if you want to. I'm mostly trying to set up the card at the start of the tour so we all get a better idea of what I'm building towards.

Can't speak for the rest, but I avoid nominating twice because I've noticed instances in the past where that would accidentally lead to the same diary appearing twice in the same category on the poll. That said, I'll look if I have anything to add on the list that hasn't already been nominated and belated congratulations to all of August's winners

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> BCG Legacy 2020 Press Conference Highlights ~ Yoshifusa Maeda began the Press Conference by welcoming all the journalists and reporters. He then proclaimed the start of the Legacy tour, revealing the rebranding of both tour and event from the old "Time Battle" version. Despite the change in name, Maeda reassured BCG fans that the stipulation will still remain the same for the headliner of the final show, a 30 minute Iron Man match. This was the perfect setup for the media to rain down the questions on one participant of that match and challenger for the BCG World title, Rokuemon Matsushita, who has been carving a reputation for himself as a big powerhouse who can wrestle long, exhausting matches. Matsushita said he proved he has the gas tank during the Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix, he got one back over Big Bruiser Findlay and now that he's won the 2020 Survivor match, he is primed to face the champion in a big title match despite any damage he may have suffered at the end of the show. ~ Speaking of the champion, he made his entrance flanked by 3K, all of them in suits and reflective shades. After basically shooting down all the questions, 3K spoke their mind and said what they had to say, essentially cutting a promo to thank SUKI for offering them a way out from midcard hell. Kamisaka and Kiyotaka attacked management and fans alike for disrespecting their skill and hard work, saying all they had to do was not follow the rules for a single show and once The Survivor was over, everyone was now talking about them. The BCG World champion took it from there to gloat about how the group, which he referred to as SUKI Squad, played everyone for a fool to win their match and soften up his challenger, who he vowed to defeat when they meet inside the ring. ~ Former GCG referee Sadanobu Koruba was also revealed as Gonkuro Nakanishi's replacement, while it was also announced that with Toshinobu Taku already assisting backstage while preparing for his official retirement, Masayuki Shiga accepted a job for SAISHO. Asked wheter that meant he was about to jump ship or a partnership between that promotion and BCG, Shiga mentioned his long career in PGHW and SAISHO's link to it while also bringing up his many proteges in BCG. According to the veteran, this was just him filling in the newly created gaps in his schedule, though he cryptically said that he "cannot predict what the future will bring".

Quick update, I have a few more shows and *gasp* TV tapings for this save in my log before the diary went silent. There's a good chance I might be picking things up around the end of October to deliver some more RotO shows. Stay tuned...

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Fri. W4 June 2020 Osaka Athletic Stadium @ Kansai, Japan Rating: 70 Attendance: 5.000 (Super No Vacancy), Views: 41.892 (0.05 on Shogun TV) Toshinobu Taku vs Takenori Doi The show began with Takenori Doi’s final match in a series of trial singles contests to showcase his growth and skill as a wrestler. After facing BCG’s veterans throughout the tour, his last opponent was Toshinobu Taku, a man just months away from hanging up the boots for good. There was a real sense of past and future in the matchup, with Toshi Taku on the way out and Doi about to take off proper. The match itself was a mix of stiff strikes and classical grappling, smartly avoiding slams or any running around that would expose the aging veteran’s declining physical abilities or the minor leg injury he suffered during the tour. Doi was all about the grit and fighting spirit, throwing his hardest hits on his opponent and looking to clip his leg in order to bring him down into a kneeling position so he could pull off his Charging Knee Strike finisher. Taku, on the other hand, attempted to slow down the match with rest holds and mess with the youngster’s pace, but the story on his side was whether he’d be able to lift him up for the Gutwrench Tombstone, since his leg gave in on more than one occasion. Eventually, Taku was able to use his opponent’s momentum against him and lift him up into position for his finisher, getting the pin over a highly promising youngster many already predict will be a future world champion. In a bout that had a decent reaction from the crowd but sub-par wrestling, Toshinobu Taku defeated Takenori Doi in 8:09 by pinfall with a Gutwrench Tombstone. [35] Shiga United (Ichiro Mitsukuri, Ryobe Uno, Nobuyuki Kubo and Yutaka Ogata) vs Animal Harker, Monday Next, Yuri Iliakov and Desperado Dave Barker The big news for Shiga United here was the return of Nobuyuki Kubo after he was sidelined for over two months with a broken arm. Having him back meant he reunited with his regular tag team partner Yutaka Ogata to bring some tag magic back into the group since Mitsukuri’s teammate, Koyo Kinoshita, is still out injured. On the other side of the ring, Animal Harker seems to have slided down the card in the aftermath of The Wild Ones imploding and found himself a new role as the leader of up and coming gaijin. Ogata and particularly Kubo had a chance to shine early but they were eventually stopped by Iliakov and Desperado Dave Barker, the young MAW import looking much better than he should given his age and time in the business. Monday Next also was impressive in this bout, adapting from high flying to rolling suplexes but never losing the flash of his moves, much to the applause of the sold out crowd. Somehow, Ryobe Uno took this as a challenge and entered the match to start a suplex contest with the Australian, who he easily overpowered to swing the match in his team’s favor. Uno and Mitsukuri delivered a beating on the ex-RAW wrestler, but the subsequent cover attempt was broken up by Animal Harker to set off the final sequences of the match, with Monday Next getting a second wind to catch Ogata with a Flash Forward and score the win for his team. In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Animal Harker, Monday Next, Yuri Iliakov and Desperado Dave Barker defeated Shiga United (Ichiro Mitsukuri, Ryobe Uno, Nobuyuki Kubo and Yutaka Ogata) in 9:52 when Monday Next pinned Yutaka Ogata with a Flash Forward. [52] Masashi Urogataya vs Omezo Shikitei Two world-class technical wrestlers in their early thirties and just hitting their prime, this was a clash bound to happen eventually and it did, delivering every bit of mat grappling action one would expect from Urogataya and Shikitei in a classic slow burner of a match, a real chess game as the two struggled to break each other down with clinical precision. From the very first minutes and opening sequences, it was obvious this match would be slow, but also extremely competitive. There was a sense of surprise around the corner, a feeling it could all be over in an instant with one lucky move, an emotion like a coiled snake trying to hypnotize its victim before springing into action. This underlying tension was what made the match enjoyable despite its slow pace and bare-bones moveset, almost playing out like an extended MMA ground battle. Shikitei seemed to be gaining the edge when the fight was standing thanks to his striking ability, but Urogataya had a deadly focus on his opponent’s back, trying to soften it in anticipation of his Jumbo Backdrop Suplex finisher and it began to pay off as the match went on. Shikitei could outgrapple his opponent when it was time to lock up, but his shots were opportunistic as opposed to Urogataya’s single-minded focus. At one point, Shikitei managed to slap on the Cross Armbreaker but his opponent showcased his ring awareness and IQ when he managed to scoot to the side and get a leg on the bottom rope to force a break. Shikitei would later get hit with a Jumbo Backdrop Suplex but somehow he was able to get a shoulder up inches before the three count and when Urogataya attempted to hit his finisher again, Shikitei anticipated the move and countered it, maintaining wrist control for an armdrag that would set up another Cross Armbreaker in the middle of the ring, this time forcing Urogataya to tap out. In a bout that had superb wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Omezo Shikitei defeated Masashi Urogataya in 17:58 by submission with a Cross Armbreaker. [69] Roku Sotomura and Yokokawa & Sen vs Giant Brody, Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane The American Cobras were never the humble types and winning the BCG World Tag Team titles only made them cockier. BCG’s veterans seemingly took offense at the new champions’ attitude and wanted to teach them a lesson, but having Giant Brody on their side and a series of great performances as a trio throughout the tour, the gaijin were not going to make this easy for the old guard. The match was off to a fast start, with the Cobras looking to blitzkrieg their way into a quick win and catch their opponents asleep. Other than earning them the ire of the fans for their overconfidence, this plan actually ended up waking up the veterans, who obviously felt disrespected by how low their opponents seemed to think of them. Former two time BCG World Tag Team champions Yokokawa and Sen fought against the reigning champions in what was almost a standard tag team match, until Giant Brody was tagged in. Showing no intimidation, Sojuro Sen initiated an exchange of chops with the big man, which he lost as Brody chopped him all the way back to his team’s corner. Yokokawa jumped the gun and entered to challenge Brody, but he suffered the same fate as his partner. When Sotomura entered, it seemed as if it was going to be more of the same, but “The Rock” actually jumped into a chinlock and worked his way from there towards bringing Brody to the mat with a guillotine, then a DDT. Sotomura opted for a Boston Crab that Brody broke by hand-walking to the ropes, but it turned out this was only the start of him working the Giant’s back until he was able to get him in the Twisted Bow and Arrow for the submission. In a bout that had superb wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Roku Sotomura and Yokokawa & Sen defeated Giant Brody, Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane in 14:21 when Roku Sotomura submitted Giant Brody with a Twisted Bow And Arrow. [67] SUKI & 3K vs Funakoshi and Miura & Yoshizawa Following the loss of their championship titles, Funakoshi’s team was fighting for redemption. 3K also had a chance to get themselves in the title picture and end a disappointing tour on a high note, whether by beating the former tag champions or the previous BCG World champion. The one that had zero stakes in this match was SUKI and he played that up as much as he could, looking bored and disapproving, an attitude that infuriated the fans as much as it enraged the usually stoic Funakoshi. Very unlike his usual self, Funakoshi was off to a fast start right out of the gate, unloading with slaps, chops and kicks but not going for the cover, a clear sign he was on a different kind of mission. His opening set the pace for the match, which wasn’t exactly pedal to the metal but it certainly was faster and shorter than one might have expected. What made it even more infuriating for the audience was the finish, with Kamisaka having caught Yoshizawa in the Triangle choke. The referee dropped to the mat in the center of the ring to stay close and listen if Yoshizawa would yield, a fact that SUKI exploited by running to the outside of the ring and pulling the bottom rope away to prevent Yoshizawa from getting a rope break. Yoshizawa had thus no way out and had to tap, sending the fans into a frenzy as SUKI ran to the back, his hands raised in celebration. Funakoshi was just as furious as the fans, Yoshizawa and Miura were not quite sure what had happened and as for 3K, their expressionless faces made it impossible to read what they thought of SUKI’s actions or whether they’d even noticed them in the first place. In a bout that had superb wrestling and great heat, SUKI and 3K defeated Funakoshi and Miura & Yoshizawa in 18:27 when Kadonomaro Kamisaka submitted Inejiro Yoshizawa after SUKI pulled the ropes away. [54] BCG Challengers Series title match 15th Champion Naozane Goto vs Challenger Yoshinaka Taku With his father nearing retirement and himself on the rise, this was Yoshinaka Taku’s chance to really establish himself as a big singles wrestler. Packing the skill and momentum, he was put in this match against Naozane Goto, a man who is never to be taken lightly thanks to his size and ferocity. The match was built around exactly that story, with Taku trying to get under the skin of his opponent and Goto no-selling the moves, then hitting back like a bulldozer. Taku took the beating to garner sympathy from the fans as he showcased his toughness and fighting spirit, receiving blows but refusing to drop or get pinned. On the flipside, every time he would look like he was about to make a comeback, he hit a wall trying to pull off the Full Nelson Bomb. At first he was unable to lift Goto up, then as the match progressed, he struggled to even slide his arms into the Full Nelson position. His perseverance paid off though, as Goto got both tired and frustrated the longer the match went. While rushing in for an avalanche at the corner, Goto missed as Yoshi Taku stepped aside, then caught his stumbling opponent for a sloppy, desperate Full Nelson Bomb. Unsatisfied, Taku pulled his opponent back up again and mustered all his remaining strength to hit a second, better looking Full Nelson Bomb, before rolling into the cover for the pin that saw him claim the BCG Challengers Series title. In a bout that had great wrestling and good heat, Yoshinaka Taku defeated Naozane Goto in 14:11 by pinfall with a Full Nelson Bomb. Yoshinaka Taku wins the BCG Challengers Series. [55] Bunrakuken Torii vs Tanyu Toshusai By this point, it was becoming apparent that the last few matches weren’t given enough time to develop, presumably in order to save more time for the main event. Regardless, Torii and Toshusai set off to bring the house down and they did so despite the temporal limitations, with a show-stealer bout in the semi main event that played off their individual skill as well as their natural chemistry when wrestling each other. Torii opened the fight trading blows with his opponent, before cornering him to deliver his signature machine gun chops. This only fired up Toshusai though, who reversed and delivered his own flurry of blows to his cornered opponent, fearlessly showing he can stand toe to toe with him and sending the fans into a wave of cheers after the opening sequence. The match then progressed to the usual exchange of holds, however the chain wrestling was rapid and fluid, with no rest holds involved. The grappling would occasionally be broken up by a big move like a slam or a suplex, then once both men had taken a fair amount of damage, it boiled down to the usual striking contest, a test of will, strength and resilience. Toshusai upped the ante by hitting the ropes for some added momentum to his blows, with Torii spinning to catch him with his finisher, something that nearly ended the match right then and there, had Toshusai not barely ducked under it to bounce of the opposite rope and explode into a shotgun dropkick for a near fall. Torii fought back with the intensity of a madman, turning the tide to almost hit his opponent with his own finisher, with Toshusai once again dodging the bullet as his head just slid out of position before Torii could lift him up for the brainbuster. Wanting to show Torii how it’s done right, Toshusai was able to chain together a few moves to set up his finisher, but Torii put the breaks on hard when he finally intercepted the combo with a Spinning Forearm Smash that nearly knocked Toshusai’s teeth down his throat and knocked him down for the count, if not outright unconscious for a few seconds. After the match, both men were spent and could hardly stand on their feet as the young lions helped them up and delivered the icepacks, but Torii still took a moment to offer his hand in recognition of his opponent’s skill and toughness, with Toshusai shaking his hand to top it all off with a feel good moment. In a bout that had superb wrestling and great heat, Bunrakuken Torii defeated Tanyu Toshusai in 15:07 by pinfall with a Spinning Forearm Smash. [87] BCG Sole Survivor Big Bruiser Findlay vs Mabuchi Furusawa vs Razan Okamoto vs Rokuemon Matsushita At long last, the main event, the annual Sole Survivor four corners elimination match. Four men coming in after big wins the month prior and looking for a victory that would earn them the right to challenge SUKI for the BCG World title. Big Bruiser Findlay, finalist of the Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix and one half of this year’s TagMania winners came hunting for a second chance against SUKI in a rematch of the YMGP block finalists, only this time with the title on the line. Mabuchi Furusawa came into the match after a rough ride since the start of 2020, at first teaming with fellow GCG alumni SUKI with surprising efficiency, then suffering a shoulder injury that had him sidelined and clashing with SUKI, who was frustrated with what he saw as weakness, upon his return to action. Okamoto was the smallest man in the match, but after a spectacular -albeit losing- effort against Funakoshi and a recent win over Torii, he seemed back in track and on the rise again, a legitimate competitor with good chances of winning the entire match. Finally, Rokuemon Matsushita was coming off an impressive performance at this year's Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix and a big win over Tanyu Toshusai to earn his spot in the match over him. The early pace of the match confirmed prior suspicions about this being a slow burner and indeed, neither of the four men seemed willing to go all out from the get go. Even the usual spot of everyone teaming up against the big man was not a thing, since there were two of them in this match. Instead, the four of them got things going with a free for all striking contest, Furusawa and especially the smaller Okamoto standing their ground as best as they could but eventually biting the bullet and rolling out of the ring to regroup. This left Findlay and Matsushita in the ring with space to work, while fans cheered them on as this was not just about two big wrestlers going at it in the ring, it was also them picking up from where they left off during the final night of the YMGP blocks. As expected, the two men blasted each other in a back and forth tug of war with strike after strike, Findlay nearly repeating his YMGP Block A win with a near fall over Matsushita that was broken up by Furusawa. This led to Furusawa standing up to Findlay and doing surprisingly well, before Okamoto got back in the ring. The 2 on 1 situation was enough to bring the Big Bruiser down, but it also took a toll on Furusawa’s recently restored shoulder. Okamoto was able to capitalize on that and gain the upper hand to hit him with a series of moves that set up the Brainbuster Suplex, thus eliminating Furusawa from the match. Lifting him up though also seemed to take a heavy toll on Okamoto’s also recently injured knee and he was in a lot of pain following the elimination. A recovered Matsushita almost took advantage of it to eliminate him as well, but Okamoto smartly rolled out of the ring before the big man could close in, thus returning things to Matsushita versus Findlay. The story was very different this time, as Findlay had taken more damage due to his prior clash with both Furusawa and Okamoto, allowing Matsushita to gain the upper hand. That’s not to say he manhandled the Cobb County native like he does with most of his opponents, but he was able to score the pinfall, eliminate him and avenge the time limit draw at the Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix that knocked him out of the race and sent Findlay to wrestle SUKI in the finals of the GP. Matsushita wasn’t able to get the usual height on his finishing move, but the sheer image of him using one hand to lift 300lbs of Findlay off the mat for a chokeslam was a different kind of impressive. With that, it was down to Matsushita versus Okamoto, a classic underdog versus goliath situation. Oddly enough, whether because of Matsushita once again was on the cusp of a major success or because he’s continued to impress with his endurance while Okamoto had so far been a bit more opportunistic in his tactics, fan support was evenly split, with half cheering for the likeable underdog that almost made it to the finish line in a match against three giants and half cheering for Matsushita who they finally wanted to see achieve a big victory. Matsushita had the size and power advantage, while Okamoto was not only faster but also fresher and less damaged, which in turn made the match even as well. As the match reached its climax past the half hour mark, Matsushita hit Okamoto with his own Brainbuster Suplex finisher for a near fall, then moments later Okamoto almost got away with the win when he managed to roll his opponent in a small package. In the end, Matsushita got the last laugh as he mustered the strength and precision to catch a charging Okamoto with a hand around his throat and use his momentum to get impressive elevation before slamming him down with a One-Handed Chokeslam for the cover, thus winning the match and the right to challenge SUKI for the BCG World title. In a bout that had superb wrestling and great heat, Rokuemon Matsushita defeated Mabuchi Furusawa, Razan Okamoto and Big Bruiser Findlay in 31:46. The order of elimination was Mabuchi Furusawa first, then Big Bruiser Findlay and finally Razan Okamoto. Rokuemon Matsushita wins the BCG Sole Survivor. [74] Matsushita’s moment of joy was ruined though when 3K made their way to the ring. Sliding in and circling the exhausted Matsushita, Kadonomaro Kamisaka made a move first and hit him with a messy Stump Piledriver, then Kiyotaka put him in the Triangle choke while his teammate kept the young lions at bay. The show ended with Matsushita passed out on the mat and his attackers looking up towards the screen above the entrance ramp, where a strange image had appeared... </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 Rokuemon Matsushita: "I don't know what 3K's problem is, but it'll take a lot more than that to bring me down. The only thing I care about is I won tonight, my hard work finally paid off and now I have to prepare so I can face the BCG World champion." Yoshinaka Taku: "Naozane Goto might be the most dominant BCG Challengers Series champion ever. Defeating him for the title is a major achievement for me, I intend to prove myself a worthy champion and live up to his legacy and the legacy of those who held the title before him." SUKI: "You've seen nothing yet!" Takenori Doi: "It's been a great honor training and learning and wrestling for Black Canvas. Tonight marks the end of me as a young lion. Arrangements have been made and I will be wrestling in New York as part of my excursion."</div>

Well that'a clearly "Machine Gun" Bunrakuken Torii's stable. Solid starting roster, nice stable graphics and a few new portraits that somehow seem to be missing from my collection.
