Giant Brody, Animal Harker, Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane (16m 14s) when Naozane Goto pinned Storm Spillane with a Goto Slam.[52] 4. SUKI, Funakoshi and Tanyu Toshusai def. Blast Ikoma and Machine Gun Dynamite (18m 11s) when SUKI submitted Dynamite Narahashi with a SUKI Special III. [60] ~ A triangle of tension but somehow SUKI, Funakoshi and Toshusai still managed to come away with the win in the main event. Ikoma and Narahashi's performances were a bit deflated, perhaps the announcement of the Sole Survivor final night card sapping their motivation. Torii had an interesting confrontation with Toshusai in light of their upcoming clash but his efforts just weren't enough to salvage this. ~ Naozane Goto's power was enough to stand up to Giant Brody and having his title challenger on his team really pushed him and Yoshi Taku to deliver. The two men literally carried their team against the blistering gaijin quartet, especially the American Cobras and they are bound to have a big match when they finally meet one on one. ~ Another good showing for 3K who function like a well oiled machine. Unlike others this night, Urogataya and Shikitei could not channel the tension of their upcoming clash into something productive and they bickered more than they wrestled, a situation that inevitably cost them the bout. </div>

Giant Brody, Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane (17m 42s) when Bunrakuken Torii pinned Giant Brody with a Spinning Forearm Smash. [61] ~ Given the history between them and the match card announced for Sole Survivor 6, it was no surprise that SUKI and Funakoshi had issues being in the same team, whereas Brody and the BCG World Tag Team champions fared much better. The match seemed like it could go either way on more than one occasions, but it was Torii's decisive Spinning Forearm Smash that ended it as the Machine Gun looks to build up momentum in light of his match against Tanyu Toshusai. ~ Yoshinaka Taku also builds up steam with a big win in a three way match against Ikoma and Toshusai. We have yet to hear from Ikoma, who is not on the card of the upcoming show. ~ Victory for Naozane Goto in his match and Harker's quartet in the opener, both sides looking for wins in their respective Sole Survivor matches. </div>

W4 June. 2020 Osaka Athletic Stadium @ Kansai, Japan Event Card BCG Sole Survivor Big Bruiser Findlay vs Mabuchi Furusawa vs Razan Okamoto vs Rokuemon Matsushita BCG's annual four corners elimination match features four participants coming off big wins and looking for another one here for a chance to face the BCG World champion SUKI. Bunrakuken Torii vs Tanyu Toshusai Both Torii and Toshusai lost their respective matches at the end of the previous tour, so they will try to get back on track here at each other's expense in a match that may well end up stealing the show. BCG Challengers Series title match 15th Champion Naozane Goto vs Challenger Yoshinaka Taku Perhaps Goto's most dangerous challenger to date, Yoshi Taku is an up and coming youngster gunning for the title but how can he hope to hit the Full Nelson Bomb on his massive opponent? SUKI & 3K vs Funakoshi and Miura & Yoshizawa Despite the title change, sparks still fly between current and former BCG World champions. Do not sleep on this multi man match, for it may well set things in motion for the future. Roku Sotomura and Yokokawa & Sen vs Giant Brody, Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane The old guard of Black Canvas teams up to teach the cocky young gaijin trio a lesson in humility. Do they still have it in them or will the foreigners continue to shine? Masashi Urogataya vs Omezo Shikitei Two of BCG's finest grapplers go toe to toe in what's bound to be a clinic on technical wrestling. Shiga United (Ichiro Mitsukuri, Ryobe Uno, Nobuyuki Kubo and Yutaka Ogata) vs Animal Harker, Monday Next, Yuri Iliakov and Desperado Dave Barker Masayuki Shiga's group of proteges test their unity and effectivenes against veteran Harker and his trio of up and coming gaijin wrestlers.

SUKI, Yoshinaka Taku and Blast Ikoma def. Funakoshi and Machine Gun Dynamite (18m 21s) when Blast Ikoma pinned Dynamite Narahashi with a Northern Lights Bomb. [68] ~ A terrible night for Dynamite Narahashi, who seemed to be elsewhere in his head and barely was up to par with the rest of the participants in the main event. No surprise he was the one to get pinned in the end, with Ikoma picking the win for his team with a slick Northern Lights Bomb. ~ Inexperienced and cocky, Yuta Isono foolishly attempted to hit the Isono Face Melter on Naozane Goto, only for the BCG Challengers Series champion to turn it into a Goto Slam for the pinfall. ~ BCG wrestlers seem to be packing on the muscle, with Iron Hyodo adding significant muscle mass to his frame. This is following Giant Brody’s ripped physique during this tour and rumor has it that several other grapplers are in the process of investing on their physical condition as well. </div>

Curious if you people would be interested in having the card for the final show of the tour at this point or once the tour shows are done, before the final show happens. The idea is to eventually be able to announce the card during the Press Conference at the start of the tour, but I'm curious to see if there's interest in a half-way transitional announcement or whether I should keep posting it right before the final show until I'm able to pre-announce it at the start of each tour.

Katy-Jayne Paulson (P4P#14, WR#4, CR#2, 11-1, 3-0 RSC) via Unanimous Decision [Average] - Second successful title defense for Maya Komagata, even if the fight itself wasn’t as exciting as she, fans or RSC officials may have been hoping for. Pressuring her opponent with her strikes, Komagata was unable to score the big head kick she was hunting for, but that did not distract her from scoring points on the way. Paulson’s approach was to give the champion minimal room to work with and lock up with her, she was however unable to take her down where she could use her BJJ background and instead had to settle for standing clinches and controlling Komagata against the cage. The fight almost saw a decisive finish in the third round when a killer head kick connected with Paulson’s head, but she was saved by the bell before Komagata could finish her off with strikes. - Boxing versus Muay Thai as Hanif Hussain and Manny Van Post met again after the Indian fighter won their first contest by unanimous decision at RSC 17: Burgess vs dos Santos in 2003. Van Post surprised everyone by hitting a takedown by the end of round one and he did so again in round two, a decision that may have swung judges in his favor. Hussain played it straight, unlike his opponent who also threw some blows from the muay thai clinch before the end of their match and given the way their match ended, a third contest is almost certain to ensue some time in the future. - An all-Brazilian case in the Women’s Flyweight division, Carina Costa exploded into action against her opponent and just would not be denied in her takedown effort, but neither could she turn it into a clean finish either. Maria Ferraz entered round two with her tactics adjusted to pressure Costa through her striking, but once Costa found an opening it was down to the mat again and after a failed attempt at an arm triangle, the kimura got her the much sought for submission. - Carl Ratcliffe and Edu Gattai refused to touch gloves at first but by the end of their fight, they had nothing but respect for each other as they shook hands. Ratcliffe got the 25th win of his career by scoring points with an ever-changing approach of kicks and punches to the head, body and legs that kept Gattai guessing, although he did also attempt a couple of head kicks for a finish. The Brazilian applied a defensive gameplan, looking to catch a leg or shoot for a takedown that would allow him to score points on the ground, but it wasn’t enough to convince the judges who scored it 29:28 in favour of his opponent. - Laia Leele showed how far she’s come as a fighter, adding some good ground and submission defense to her arsenal on top of her kicks, but sadly it wasn’t enough against Haley Lovebond. The Texan was prepared and caught a couple of kicks to take things to the ground. Although her blows were initially not enough nor could she lock in the RNC, the damage was done and by round two she had Leele pinned down and eating punches without being able to offer any defense, forcing the referee to jump in and call for the TKO. Bonus Fight of the Night: Costa vs Ferraz KO of the Night: Lovebond vs Leele Submission of the Night: Costa vs Ferraz Post-Fight Maya Komagata: "I’m very happy to have retained. It was a tough fight. Not as great as I’d hoped, but I’m still the champion and that’s what matters at the end of the day." Manny Van Post: ”Don’t ask me what you already know, it’s Aljur Paras I want to square off against.” Carina Costa: ”Chisaki Gojo is someone I’d love to test my skills against. Would love to fight her next.” Carl Ratcliffe: ”I’m not gonna lie, I thought this was going to be easier. Edu is one tough bastard, he really earned my respect tonight.”

SUKI and The American Cobras def. Funakoshi and Machine Gun Dynamite (Torii & Narahashi) (20m 51s) when Storm Spillane submitted Dynamite Narahashi with a Kneeling Boston Crab. [60] ~ A strong appearance by the American Cobras next to the BCG World champion in the main event, scoring a win over the team of Funakoshi, Torii and Narahashi. The BCG World Tag Team champions were even involved in the finish, a sign perhaps of them climbing up the ranks as opposed to Narahashi, whose performances and booking seem to suggest he will be slowly sliding down the pecking order. ~ Another grappling clinic in the semi main event, with all eight participants spicing up the match thanks to a wide variety of submission holds, counter wrestling, mat grappling, chain wrestling and of course slick suplexes. Suprise twist in the finish too, as Shikitei was able to slide out of Ikoma's Northern Lights Bomb and control the wrist to slap on his Cross Armbreaker for the tap. ~ Naozane Goto had his work cut out for him as he carried his team against the combined might of Giant Brody and Animal Harker. The BCG Challengers Series champion proved his worth by buying his teammates enough time and space for their double team moves and eventually that got them the win with Yoshizawa scoring the pin over Monday Next. </div>

Bunrakuken Torii and Dynamite Narahashi (16m 22s) when Funakoshi pinned Dynamite Narahashi with a Butterfly Backbreaker. [64] ~ Funakoshi and SUKI were put into an odd team for the main event here, against former teammates and BCG World Tag Team champions Torii and Narahashi. Despite the 2014 title holders’ experience and chemistry, the duo still lost the match since Funakoshi and SUKI were able to channel the tension between them into competition that brought out the best in them. ~ Morimasa Kato got lost in the chaos of his 5 on 5 match and after a sloppy landing, ended the match limping to the backstage area. Early reports say he has completely torn his quad and will be out for a full year. Time is not on the 36 year old wrestlers’ side so this could prove to be a big hit for him, though he is expected to undergo surgery in hopes of making a return sooner. ~ Gonkuro Nakanishi found himself in the spotlight after BCG’s Okayama show when he went on social media to announce that he had handed in his notice and will be leaving after the Sole Survivor final show. The 28 year old referee has not revealed the reason behind his decision and Black Canvas have yet to issue a statement. This move does however leave him open to negotiate with other promotions, so there has been some speculation that Nakanishi is eyeing a spot with Burning Hammer, PGHW or even WLW. </div>

[63] ~ Going up against SUKI really seemed to light a fire inside Tanyu Toshusai and he was able to not only put on a good performance, but also get the win in a team that included Funakoshi and Bunrakuken Torii. SUKI, on the other hand, was all too happy to play the heel and hold back, as well as throw Yoshi Taku under the rails and let him take the fall. ~ Another good match in the ongoing, high octane rivalry between current and former BCG World Tag Team champions. Monday Next and Danjuro Kikuchi both had their chance to shine in a fast paced, high level match and delivered, a sign that they are ready to climb up the rankings. ~ Takenori Doi wrestled a singles match against Yuri Iliakov in the opener which he lost, a sign that perhaps he might be starting his singles trial matches before departing on excursion. The hard hitting youngster is the most experienced and most popular of BCG’s young lions, so he may well be leaving to test himself elsewhere before returning as a fully fledged worker. </div>

Thanks. All four Sole Survivor participants are coming off wins, whereas Funakoshi and Torii lost their last matches. That is intentional, as I wanted to make wins and losses in the major shows matter. As for SUKI, I'm having a lot of fun writing him and was genuinely surprised to see him be a thing in the DotM. The tag division is indeed undergoing a bit of restructuring, especially as I'm putting stables together, but it also seems that way because Miura & Yoshizawa and the Cobras are the only two teams that are more than just two singles guys occasionally tagging together. Give it time till the next TagMania.

Torii and Funakoshi put on a great performance but the less experienced Goto proved to be the weakest link on their team, whereas Yoshi Taku and Blast Ikoma never missed a step in synch with the BCG World champion. ~ Miura & Yoshizawa met the American Cobras again after they lost the BCG World Tag Team titles to them in a spectacular match. Giant Brody was the game changer in this one, his power as well as surprising athleticism turning the tide in his team's favor. </div>

These are the ones I use. Think they were made by King Bison.

I was reading the show and thinking "Man, much as I love Tameka Sky, Yvonne got shafted again putting Sky over". I scrolled down to write about that booking compared to her earlier narrative, then you just had to hit me square in the feels with the new one.

A very well written show with some very interesting storylines developing. Well done.

Don't think you are, I started a new save after my WQ2020 one and had forgotten to set that promotion back to open at random. Since it was now already open at the start of the game, I kept a close eye to see who the AI would hire but indeed there were never any events held, must be due to what you mentioned.

I thought the driving force behind such companies is something along the lines of "just throw more bodies into the meat grinder"

Guessing you're referring to this one from the NeoTokyo Joshi diary. Not sure about the creator.

Then, to make matters worse, she attempted to retaliate using weapons. Yup, SUPREME Yoshida was finally getting into deathmatch wrestling and it was surreal, almost comical, to see such a character be so out of their element. Once contact was made though, Mochizuki no-sold the weapon shots and promptly proceeded to demolish her opponent, with Yoshida selling her butt off to make her opponent look devastating.

Takudome and Tsujimura built up some steam in light of their upcoming title match by defeating Unkillable and my booking genius shone once again, because both these teams seem to naturally gel together as units. Unkillable merch disappeared after this debut match of theirs, with Mad Millie Morgan taking her usual tough British punk character to dark, bloodthirsty places in order to fit in with this company and her suicidal teammate. I could tell she was out of her comfort zone, because she took a nasty bump that caused her to shatter her collar bone. Actually, the entire match was a raging dumpster fire of a spotfest and the winners weren’t spared either, since Angel faceplanted herself on the turnbuckle and somehow managed to bruise her eye socket. Speaking of her, fans nearly booed her out of the building, which makes sense because she’s made her name in clean-cut joshi matches for years. That’s part of why the match was booked to be a chaotic, fast paced mess, in-and-out before they notice the bad parts, but Rika apparently took the fans’ reaction to heart and decided to improvise, using the ropes for some extra leverage on her pin.
