I'm using such relationships or injuries to set up alliances, rivalries and stories since BCG doesn't come with a lot on that aspect. You may have noticed that during the post-match segment, Furusawa was rescued by two proteges of his own... None at all. He's mostly there as a representative of the Australian scene. I'm counting on his technical prowess for in-ring performance and hopefully a change in who's involved in the mandatory Technical Masterclass match of every show. Maybe he can bulk up and change his style, maybe he'll use it to garner underdog sympathy like Razan Okamoto does. Ikoma's performance isn't top notch, to the point where his accolades seem strange, but I sure made use of his suplex gig against larger opponents like Findlay, Matsushita, Goto and Brody. Same for the other two guys, Taku is an insecure personality trying to break out of his dad's shadow and establish himself as a singles wrestler;Yokokawa and Sen are the grumpy veterans. I worked with what I had to justify them taking the loss. In keeping up with Japanese mentality, I'm giving my workers employment for life unless they get poached away, so Harker's staying. Helps me stay sane with hirings and firings too, I maintain a solid roster and limit my signings to absolute necessity. Worst case scenario, people get stuck in the midcard or work dark matches to help train young lions like some of my veterans do (Ozawa, Taku, Ippitsusai etc). Thanks again. I may have written the finish wrong, but it was the legal man who applied the hold. The idea was that Malloy's finisher is the Kneeling Boston Crab but he had to take it to the next level in order to get a tap, especially since the Boston Crab is a young lion move and thus tapping out to it is considered weak and disgraceful. His "lean back to also yank the head" extra was just that. I visualised it sort of like transitioning from a Figure Four to Charlotte Flair's Figure Eight, if that's any help. That is an excellent interpretation of the match. If SUKI is BCG's Kenta to me, Torii is their Shibata. Remember back against Okada when he forgot that matches were about pins or submissions and instead he got carried away trying to KO his opponent? Torii vs Okamoto was a similar case and he paid the cost for it. Still, he's probably my top in-ring worker, with loads of charisma and SQ to boot so he's not going anywhere any time soon. Again, thank you and by the way thanks to everyone who nominated and voted this diary, I was happily surprised so see it in so many categories this month! With such a rating and story to it, I wanted to do the match justice, while also proving that the winner of the YMGP is indeed top-tier and a potential World Champion pretty soon. It sure was a great antithesis of characters and game plans, allowed me to showcase those two and set up things for the future.

<div style="padding: 15px; border: 3px solid #000000; margin:10px;background: #2C2A2A; max-width:60%;box-shadow: 0 6px 12px ";"> Sat. W3 May. 2020 Osaka Athletic Stadium @ Kansai, Japan Rating: 73 Attendance: 5.000 (Super No Vacancy), Views: 61.507 (0.08 on Shogun TV) Giant Brody, Monday Next & Yuri Iliakov vs Shiga United (Mitsukuri, Uno & Ogata) The opening contest was the first big match for Monday Next and Yuri Iliakov in BCG, for which they were paired with fellow gaijin Giant Brody. Their opponents were a younger but more cohesive trio of Mitsukuri, Uno and Ogata, all three training under Masayuki Shiga and naming their group in his honor. Everyone had their moment to shine, with Iliakov showcasing his striking force, especially his brutal forearm shots, to a good reaction from the audience. In the end it was Monday Next who scored the pin for his team using his fast, agile style to surprise young lion Yutaka Ogata and hit his Flash Forward finisher to start off his time in Japan on the right track. In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Giant Brody, Monday Next and Yuri Iliakov defeated Shiga United (Ichiro Mitsukuri, Ryobe Uno and Yutaka Ogata) in 9:49 when Monday Next pinned Yutaka Ogata with a Flash Forward. [50] Mabuchi Furusawa, Blast Ikoma & Dynamite Narahashi vs Yoshinaka Taku, Nobuharu Yokokawa & Sojuro Sen Furusawa started the match confidently, trading blows with Yokokawa and Sen as well as running tackles off the ropes to a stand off. Ikoma got the torch to work a few minutes on some basic moves, before tagging in Narahashi. Despite his experience, the smaller competitor ran into a rough spot as the combined forces of regular teammates and former BCG World Tag Team champions Yokokawa and Sen ran him down in a classic scenario of cutting the ring in half and isolating the smaller man in the opposite team. Making the best of his elusiveness, Narahashi escaped one and hit the other with a cutter to create some separation and make the tag to Ikoma while Taku finally came into the match. Brimming with confidence, the youngster went straight for a Full Nelson Bomb, which Ikoma reversed with a standing switch into one of his many explosive suplexes for a two count. The match picked up after that moment, with Taku working most of the remaining part for his team and stubbornly refusing to tag out. Once Furusawa came back into the match for Ikoma, Yokokawa had enough and as soon as he was able, he forcibly tagged himself in. This led to an argument between the two teammates and Sen on the apron, which Furusawa was happy to exploit by hitting the ropes to throw himself at Yokokawa, knocking him onto his teammates and disorienting him enough to get hit with a series of moves that took him down to the mat so the Furusawa Armbar could be applied for the submission. In a bout that had superb wrestling and good heat, Mabuchi Furusawa, Blast Ikoma and Dynamite Narahashi defeated Yoshinaka Taku and Yokokawa & Sen in 10:41 when Mabuchi Furusawa submitted Nobuharu Yokokawa with a Furusawa Armbar. [62] Morimasa Kato & Masashi Urogataya vs Roku Sotomura & Omezo Shikitei Toning down the striking and brawling of the previous matches, this was all about pure, old school technical grappling. At age 41, Sotomura proved his “Rock” moniker with another rock solid performance that was perfectly up to par with his younger peers inside the ring, while Shikitei complimented his teammate’s experience with some stellar amateur wrestling skills at lightning speed, truly a refreshing, modern approach to this type of wrestling. Urogataya was all too happy and able to keep up and respond in kind, while Kato did bust out a few strong style spots as well on top of his submission game. If this match showcased something, it was how smooth and effortless the wrestling itself was, with all four men having perfected this kind of match time and time again in the last few tours alongside a few other grapplers in various combinations. Everything played out like clockwork and Shikitei managed to pull off a big win over a duo of Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix participants by tapping out Urogataya in the middle of the ring. In a bout that had great wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Roku Sotomura and Omezo Shikitei defeated Morimasa Kato and Masashi Urogataya in 16:15 when Omezo Shikitei submitted Masashi Urogataya with a STF. [65] Animal Harker vs Big Bruiser Findlay First of the night’s singles matches and first one to have some sort of buildup and a proper storyline to it, this was the implosion of the Wild Ones after winning this year’s TagMania 7 and failing to convert it into a run with the BCG World Tag Team titles. Harker, having failed to beat Goto for the BCG Challengers Series title in January as well, fell into relative obscurity while Findlay was in the Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix, where he won his block and made it to the finals, only to lose to SUKI. This situation led to tension between them throughout the Champions tour, with Harker feeling like he’d been left out while his partner was rewarded and Findlay looking to bounce back from his big loss only to lose matches he blamed Harker for. Given the tension between the two as well as their wild ways in the ring, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the match itself did not remain contained between the ropes for too long. As soon as the bell rang, they threw themselves at each other and landed a flurry of big blows, before Findlay knocked Harker out of the ring with a decapitating lariat. Once he’d been pulled up and beat up to regain consciousness, Harker responded by grabbing a fan’s water bottle and splashing its contents in the face of his opponent. Using this brief opening, the Texas brawler really amped up the violence by picking up the ring steps and smashing them on Findlay’s head, then grabbing the timekeeper’s bell for another headshot. More reminiscent of a match that would go down in Memphis or Puerto Rico rather than a BCG ring, this one felt really different and shocked the audience, especially when Findlay got back onto his feet with blood all over his head from a busted skull. Running on adrenaline, Findlay turned the complexion of the match by whipping Harker to the barricade to create separation, then did Bulldozer Brandon Smith’s signature taunt before hitting Harker with a Backdrop Suplex onto the ringside floor. The Big Bruiser had his opponent bleeding as well and probably injured in his ribs or back, but wasn’t done wreaking havoc. Findlay pulled Harker up and pressed him overhead in a freakish display of power, but instead of getting him back into the ring, he just tossed him with a Gorilla Press Slam right onto the apron. Now in full control, Findlay took his time to showboat, then get into the ring, but he made a mistake as this had given Harker enough time to recover. Foaming at the mouth, Harker speared Findlay just as he returned to the ring, then attempted to pull off his Stump Piledriver finisher but exhausted as he was, he was unable to lift up 300lbs of Findlay for the move. Instead, the Cobb County native escaped and hit his own Atomic Spinebuster, covering Harker for the win with barely 8 minutes on the clock but a wild, exciting match nonetheless in the books. In a bout that had superb wrestling and good heat, Big Bruiser Findlay defeated Animal Harker in 7:55 by pinfall with an Atomic Spinebuster. [63] BCG Challengers Series title match 15th Champion Naozane Goto vs Challenger Kiyotaka Although Kiyotaka did not pin Goto or win a tournament for a shot at his title, as is usually the case, announcers were quick to provide context for this match by pointing out the fact that the Tokyo Dojo graduate is an up and coming wrestler. So far he’s only held the BCG World Tag Team titles alongside Kadonomaro Kamisaka and with “Serene K” out injured, this could actually prove to be an opportunity to win his first ever singles title and continue climbing the rankings. If nothing else, Kiyotaka showed he is a very methodical and cerebral wrestler, having scouted out his much larger opponent’s gameplan in order to play defence, initially at least. Goto paced the ring and sized up his opponent who seemed unwilling to lock up, but it was all a ploy to exhaust the champion’s patience and have him throw himself at his challenger. Kiyotaka dodged and weaved, further frustrating Goto until he carelessly ran himself into the corner padding. With Goto stumbling, Kiyotaka hopped onto his back to lock in a sleeper hold and bring him to the mat, taking away his vertical base so he could work him over to set up a Triangle Choke. It was a sound plan, but the sheer size of Goto meant that his body was hard to move around, his lungs big enough to hold plenty of air and his neck too thick to crank. Despite Kiyotaka’s best efforts, his plan did not have the expected results, at least not as fast or to the extent he was hoping for. Powering back up, Goto made his comeback to get on his feet again and finally toss his smaller opponent around, building momentum as he manhandled him and finally shut him down with a Goto Slam to mark down his fourth successful title defense. In a bout that had good heat and decent wrestling, Naozane Goto defeated Kiyotaka in 10:54 by pinfall with a Goto Slam. Naozane Goto makes defence number four of the BCG Challengers Series. [57] BCG World Tag Team titles match 13th Champions Inejiro Yoshizawa & Noritoshi Miura vs Challengers The American Cobras After several months and an impressive course with BCG, the American Cobras finally got their shot at tag team gold and they made sure to make a show of force about it. Marvel Malloy and Storm Spillane came out literally clad in gold, with the COTT World Tag Team titles around their waists, the CZCW Tag Team titles in one hand and the OLLIE Campeonatos de Trios in the other. Yoshizawa and Miura, on the other hand, carried only one set of titles, but they were the most important ones as they would be on the line for this match. As if to further drive a point home, Miura’s back and neck were still heavily taped from his recent injury. The setup was all about American cockiness and showmanship versus the stoicism and fighting spirit of the Japanese champions. Spillane kicked off the match against Yoshizawa with a shotgun dropkick that set the tone, with the Cobras keeping their foot on the gas pedal from bell to bell. This was a fast paced, athletic kind of match and even at times when Yoshizawa and Miura managed to gain control of it, they had to play catch up and cover a lot of ground, meaning they did not have the option to slow things down and work a style that could have served them better. That said, the frantic pace was right up the Cobras’ alley, well versed as they are in it from their time with both CZCW and OLLIE. They shone in this match and they shone bright. That’s not to say they didn’t have to work hard, because Miura and Yoshizawa are much bigger, stronger and more powerful than the lightweight highflyers in SoCal or luchadores in Mexico, so they couldn’t be thrown around with the same ease. Still, it felt like a matter of time before the Cobras would manage to get the win and they did it in the nastiest way possible: Spillane got Miura in a Kneeling Boston Crab after Malloy had taken out Yoshizawa with a suicide dive to the outside of the ring. Miura fought hard and would not tap out, until Spillane leaned back, grabbed his head and pulled it in a dual submission situation, capitalizing on the lingering effects of his opponent’s recent injury. It was an impressive move that got a wow from half the crowd, only for the other half to boo what they considered a disrespectful move as Miura tapped out and the American Cobras were officially being declared as the new BCG World Tag Team champions! In a bout that had great wrestling and good heat, The American Cobras defeated Miura & Yoshizawa in 13:47 when Storm Spillane submitted Noritoshi Miura with a Kneeling Boston Crab. The American Cobras win the BCG World Tag Team titles. [63] Rokuemon Matsushita vs Tanyu Toshusai This match was all about positioning and moving up the food chain. Matsushita, despite failing to pull off back to back Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix wins, had an impressive run and proved he has the stamina to work long, epic matches. Toshusai had a decent run as well and was now looking to get another big singles win after taking out Mabuchi Furusawa in January at BCG Heritage. The action somehow mirrored Goto vs Kiyotaka with Toshusai trying to use his technical skills against his larger opponent, but there was a ton of strong style thrown into it as well, with Toshusai standing up to the big man and trading blows in what Western fans would consider suicidal but Japanese fans cheered on as a grand display of defiance and fighting spirit. In terms of match results, suicidal it may have been, considering how Matsushita got the win in about twelve minutes, much shorter than one might have expected this match to go on for, but Toshusai certainly looked good in defeat and proved himself an honourable warrior, even against insurmountable odds. In a superb match, Rokuemon Matsushita defeated Tanyu Toshusai in 11:40 by pinfall with an One-Handed Choke Slam.[60] Bunrakuken Torii vs Razan Okamoto Okamoto failed to defeat Funakoshi for the BCG World title at the Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix, partially due to his lingering knee injury and, according to his post match interview, inconsistency. This match was a great chance for him to show improvement against one of BCG’s founding blocks and consistently top tier stars in Torii, first man to ever win BCG’s Quadruple Crown. Almost accepting this role, Torii really set out to test his opponent and frequently invited him to hit as hard as he can or hit the ropes for a shoulder tackle or in some way one-up his moves to prove himself. Most of the time, of course, Torii came out on top and unleashed his signature machine gun chops or punishing forearms to demolish Okamoto, slowly getting fans to cheer for the underdog in hopes of seeing him overcome the challenge. Fan support paid off indeed and Okamoto was finally able to respond and knock down Torii, the spot that signalled his comeback until “Machine Gun” put the brakes with a Spinning Forearm Smash. It looked like game over, but somehow Okamoto managed to get a shoulder up a split second before Referee Tawaraya’s hand hit the mat for a third time. Torii looked shocked and sought to punish his opponent with vicious strikes for what he almost treated as disrespect, having someone kick out of his finisher. Emotion got the best of him though and he was carried away, with Okamoto managing to exploit it and pull him up for a Brainbuster Suplex for the one-two-three and a shock victory that had fans jump out of their chairs in a cheer of collective relief. In an exceptional match, Razan Okamoto defeated Bunrakuken Torii in 16:13 by pinfall with a Brainbuster Suplex. [81] BCG World title match 9th Champion Funakoshi vs Challenger SUKI This was, as usual, the typical slow fuse main event match but even so, it started off excruciatingly slow. The two competitors sized each other up, paced around the ring, circled each other, SUKI threw some verbal insults, they traded some basic chops, they ran the ropes, they did every trick in the book that wasn’t a rest hold. While perhaps an alien, unexciting approach to Western audiences, this gave fans and announcers alike the time to grasp the magnitude of this match, the importance of what’s at stake and the multiple layers of storytelling involved in this. Funakoshi, the BCG icon, against SUKI, the flag bearer for former GCG stars after Furusawa’s injury and certainly the most outspoken, heelish one who’s easy to dislike. A two time GCG World Heavyweight champion who had yet to win any gold in BCG before conquering the 2020 Yoshifusa Maeda Grand Prix. The Lionhearted one, of strikes and slams, against the sour-mooded one, of kicks and submissions. An odd mix of similarities and polar opposites alike. It took almost 14 minutes for the basic strikes, tests of strength and chop exchanges to turn into something more exciting, but once that happened, it was done in spectacular fashion. SUKI, out of nowhere, hit a Mountain SUKI and went for the pin. Funakoshi kicked out almost before the count of one. Fans applauded but the defending champion looked furious, as if he’d taken his opponent’s move as rushed and disrespectful. As if going for a finisher and cover already insulted his very fighting capacity. Full of intensity, Funakoshi unloaded with a series of chops and forearms, building to a midsection kick that got SUKI to bend over. He stuck his challenger’s head between his thighs, held up the arms… and gave up the move instead of pulling off the Butterfly Backbreaker. Thus, Funakoshi showcased his point: no tricks or rushed covers, unless you’re certain you’ve put in the work to put down a championship caliber contestant. Fans applauded, but SUKI responded with a cheap shot, brawling his opponent to a corner for some dirty fighting to a hailstorm of boos. The next part was all SUKI, wearing the champion down with an effective mix of brawling and submission holds. Not one to be told what to do and made fun of, SUKI even took an opportunity to tease the SUKI Special III, dropping the hold half way in a manner that mocked Funakoshi’s earlier antics. Again, this enraged the defending champion and he regrouped while SUKI was taunting the crowd, the spot ending with a crunching forearm to the jaw of SUKI, fans cheering at this righteous payback. Funakoshi took control from that point on, wasting no time or effort. His way of wrestling was efficient, an approach that highlighted his work ethic and everything his entire character is about. The pace began to pick up and it felt like the end of the match was close once Funakoshi began setting up the Butterfly Backbreaker again, but SUKI blocked the move and screamed as he mustered the strength to get on his feet, head still between the champion’s thighs before he dropped to the mat, thus spiking Funakoshi head first onto it. SUKI Special III came next and while the defending champion was still reeling from the piledriver, he showed great ring awareness by managing to force a rope break. The match neared its apparent finish as the timer neared the half hour mark, with both competitors now struggling to stand up, stay in the fight and keep pulling off bigger and bigger moves. Funakoshi finally managed to hit the Butterfly Backbreaker, but somehow SUKI got a shoulder up at 2.9, a rare occasion of someone shockingly surviving that blow. To make matters worse, SUKI responded with a Gakusha Golden Bomb, the dreaded finisher of Maeda’s protege, the man who chose to stick with GCG and even after its demise joined Burning Hammer, never to follow his mentor into Black Canvas Grappling. In short, probably the most symbolic and outright disrespectful thing he could pull off, which he then followed up with another SUKI Special III to finally get the submission, thus ending Funakoshi’s third BCG World title reign at 4 defenses to become the new BCG World champion for the very first time. In an exceptional match, SUKI defeated Funakoshi in 32:08 by submission with a SUKI Special III. SUKI wins the BCG World title.

After the main event, Mabuchi Furusawa attempted to congratulate SUKI only to get assaulted by the new BCG World champion, who yelled something about Furusawa holding him back and trying to steal some of his shine. Danjuro Kikuchi and Ginji Kisaka, both Furusawa's proteges, rushed in to make the save, essentially sacrificing themselves for a beatdown in order to create an opportunity for Furusawa to escape. Razan Okamoto: "I am thrilled with my victory tonight, Torii is one of this company's greatest. My challenge now will be to keep up this level of performance consistently and avoid injury." Marvel Malloy: "New champs, baby! We're touring the world, pickin' up all the gold!" Big Bruiser Findlay: "Now that Harker's in my rearview mirror, I can finally focus on bigger things."</div>

Does anyone else get a ton of popups and ads on docdroid? Got my adblocker and stuff up but it happens both here and when browsing La Estrella's EMLL shows. Is it just me?

Thrilled to hear I delivered on your expectations. Willr0ck hyped me and the coming of this diary quite a bit and if I'm being honest, having done the first show there's no way it'll live up to these vigniettes. Might be time to pull off some Oddworld/CTUC stuff again...

You made a compelling story out of Jebediah's passing and made Riley McManus someone by pushing him in his place. The game simply wants to see you do more of that.

The camera shows a smartphone on a bench, blasting by the Dropkick Murphys. Out of frame, a hand reaches out for the phone and launches it against the ground, shattering upon impact. The figure responsible squats low next to the phone's remains, her face now visible, a smug smile of satisfaction on it. She speaks in a heavy Irish accent. "That what they're selling you as Irish? Pft, those lads are from Boston. Can't bloody stand 'em. If that's the case, imagine what passes as deathmatch wrestling over there..." A foot in a combat boot stomps down, crunching the remains of the phone under its sole. Another woman, clad in black studded leathers and brandishing a mohawk squats down as well to face the camera. Hers is an English accent. "Irish? That wasn't even punk to begin with! Listen up, we comin' over, from one set o' islands to another, Roisin and Mad Millie, we're gonna show ya what hardcore really looks like: tuff as nails, beat the hell of whoever's in front of you and bow to none! Warrior Queen? Spare me, this place invented the Queen! And once we get to Japan... there'll be no future, no future for you!"

The video package is set in a traditional Japanese bath house, with the camera spotting an attractive female figure. Almost voyeristically, the camera begins to trace the woman's curves, the editing between shots ensuring an arousing result. The women herself is either unaware of the filming or aware and confidently flaunting her stuff. Whatever the case, there is an intense erotic vibe, with the woman stepping out of the shadows into dim light. The colour of ink on her skin one-ups the content, camera once again scanning her body from up close. Beautiful tattoos eventually begin to intertwine with cuts and scars, some apparently inflicted after the art and some prior, with the tattoo almost embracing and concealing the damage. As the video continues, the scars get more frequent. More dense. The ink never stops, now a swirl of colours without end, a sense of yakuza tattoos adding menace and urgency to the increasing scars. And finally, the camera locks up with the woman's face. She's been completely aware all the time, her grin enough to make one's blood run cold.

If it's not too much to ask for, think this version could do with a bit of blood spattered across the face.

This video message begins with black and white footage of what seems to be cultists at some field with horns protruding out of their hoods. The imagery is complemented by the progressive neoclassical jazz-infused black metal sounds that true kvlt connoisseurs and metal elitists would instantly recognize as the distinctive sound of the band Gasp. The camera zooms in and focuses on the group's backing vocalist and clarinet player, Yuma Furuta. She is sporting her trademark white Hellraiser-esque facepaint (sans nails) and on her side is her actual real life boyfriend and WEXXV legend, Kimi Kawano. Kawano: "Hello there, fans of deathmatch wrestling, greetings from the hardcore power couple of this business. Kimi Kawano here with a message I never thought I'd be able to deliver, but I'm so glad the day is finally upon us.

I've been planning to do this since the mod and company were first announced. In a way, I kinda think willr0ck called me out and challenged me to do it, even. But as Neoteros said, you're free to still start up one of your own, it's not like there has to be a single diary as each promotion. It is absolutely intentional, I'm taking a page from FINisher's WEXXV diaries where he's naming his shows and teams after Static X, Fear Factory and other nu/industrial names. It's also meant as a "Death of WEXXV and its Resurrection in the form of WQ2020" plus it makes a great name for a first-of-a-new-year show If only everything else in this save was equally as thought out as the show names...

Well I'm a part of the Warrior Queen 2020 roster and not just that, I'll be Mirai Kajahara's opponent in the main event of the Death and Resurrection Show! Mhm, it's Kajahara versus Mushashibo for the Queen's Heart title, a match I specifically requested just to get under the skin of some know-it-all online pundits like willr0ck and Historian. Joke's on you people, 'cause we'll be headlining the show in a goddamn Light Tube Deathmatch. Screw your technical wrestling and your stupid rest holds, we're about to get crazy up in this b**tch!"

OH, IT'S TRUE. IT'S DAMN TRUE!

The recently-gone-viral online video begins with a second of static, as if converted from some video tape in the '90s, then a young woman's face is shown. "For those of you who don't know me, my name is Mirai Kajahara and I am the eldest daughter of Ryu Kajahara. This is a message to all the people who have supported my father's Warrior Engine XXV promotion throughout the years. Do not despair, for I am here to pick up the mantle and carry on the family legacy." Mirai turns the camera to face a large banner hung up on a nearby wall. "My father has always been an innovator and an explorer. Simply resurrecting his company would be more of the same, so Warrior Queen 2020 will be something completely new and unheard of before, the world's first ever all-female deathmatch promotion! With me to tell you more about it is WEXXV Hall of Famer and our new lead announcer, Eisaku Shigeki!" "Hello everyone, it's bloody good to be back and surrounded by these beautiful championship titles, all of which will be contested for at WQ2020's first ever event, The Death and Resurrection Show, scheduled to take place on the first Sunday of January 2020 in Sendai! Make sure to subscribe to this channel and get updates every time a new video is up so you can stay up to speed. Of course, not everything will be revealed here, we're saving some surprises for our first show so make sure you don't miss it once tickets go live on sale. Stay tuned for Babes, Blood and Barb Wire!"

Three way dances galore and the TV title featured more prominently than the world title... Yup, it's ECW alright

In my experience, workers first, companies next, then titles and everything else.

Several portraits seem to be missing, unless we're supposed to use the WMMA portraits provided in a separate folder. Is this an error or intentional? Are these portraits coming in a future update? Also, another thing that caught my eye, Tara Kilpatrick is a non wrestler whose bio describes her as a referee, but she hasn't been assigned any prefered roles (as in, the Referee icon doesn't "light up" when she's selected)

Can confirm, got errors for those two while importing data. Also, the last word in the company description for Bad Girls of Wrestling should be "seen" instead of "scene".

Thank you so much for this<3 Off to sink my teeth into the data, will return with feedback and a WQ2020 diary P.S. I'm not against legacies, as evidenced with the likes of Furusawa and Toshusai in my current BCG diary. I'm against that fact being their entire gimmick. It's nepotism I'm against

Delirium vs. Samael The Accuser Oooooh, tough pick. Delirium has been booked super strong, but I'm guessing his instability costs him the win here Ajax The Skull-Splitter vs. Dolphin Master Show of force to build him up. Curious how long Ajax will stick around, given his age Captain Lucha vs. Death's Head I want to say DH, especially given the stipulation, but just can't bet against the Captain. Plus I already got Ajax winning earlier, 2/2 feels to much for this feud in one night Boriken Love Machine Jr vs. El Toro De Oro Jr I'm happy whoever wins, this feud is awesome. El Bandido Jr vs. La Estrella Courtesy of Deadly Deadshot, perhaps El Hijo Del Fantasma vs. Guerrero Muerto Given the storyline, now's the time for Fantasma to go over a weakened GM Demon King vs. Snake King DK is on top of his game and fresh with the belt, SK is struggling. If Nachash kills him for his failure, dibs on the custom mic

Thanks. It's a part-time gig, but I enjoy writing it for a change from wrestling every now and then. Kikkas concussed - Fight moved Estonian Middleweight fighter Osvald Kikkas sustained a moderate concussion during training for his fight against Esteban Vega, originally scheduled to take place at RSC 39: Nouri vs Hojo in late February. RSC refused to replace him and instead have moved the bout to RSC 43: McGuiness vs Bethlen, in late April. Emile Rachal recovery and debut Former SIGMA Middleweight fighter Emile Rachal's neck recovered from the whiplash strain effect that had been holding the German fighter on the sidelines. He will be making his RSC debut at the upcoming RSC 38 Vine vs Rossi show, looking to start strong and extend his 7-0 career record at the expense of Chaim Alexievich. Broken Collar Bone for Drazen Gabelich Croatia's Drazen Gabelich broke his collar bone during training and while the injury will not be impacting the date of his scheduled fight against Leandro Bastos at RSC 40: Marazzina vs Lee, it will certainly mess up with his training schedule. Whether he can bounce back from this setback remains to be seen inside the cage. Kimie Igarashi suspended Following the drug test results of fighters at RSC 37: Biel vs Samir, Kimie Igarashi has been suspended for a year and her recent victory over Kata Mallasz overturned after she tested positive for recreational drug use. Igarashi denies the allegations and RSC's female fighters are once again under scrutiny, following former champion Lucia Pessoa's double test failure and subsequent firing.

W3 May 2020 Nagoya City @ Chubu, Japan 89 Fans Pre-show 1. Goro Hatamoto and Tomiichi Okada def.

Bunrakuken Torii and Tanyu Toshusai (15m 57s) when Blast Ikoma pinned Tanyu Toshusai with a Northern Lights Bomb. [63] 5. Big Bruiser Findlay and Rokuemon Matsushita def. Razan Okamoto and Yoshinaka Taku (20m 48s) when Rokuemon Matsushita pinned Yoshinaka Taku with an One-Handed Choke Slam. [54] ~ Okamoto and Taku had their work cut out for them in the main event against the power duo of Findlay and Matsushita and although they eventually lost the match, they were able to stay in the fight and push their opponents just past the 20 minute mark, proving their skill and mettle to look strong even in defeat. The finish saw Matsushita hit Yoshi Taku with a One-Handed Choke Slam using his left hand, as he'd been favouring the right one after he tried to pull off the same move on Okamoto earlier and seemingly pulled something as his opponent escaped. ~ A much needed victory for Furusawa and Ikoma in the blistering semi main event, the two men really struggling to stay relative and move up the ranks. Defeating Torii and Toshusay will certainly help their case, even if the victory came on a tour show night. ~ Kadonomaro Kamisaka took an inverted atomic drop the wrong way and it hampered him throughout his match, but still he and Kiyotaka were able to come out with a win over Kato and Shikitei in a stellar technical contest. </div>
