Gremlinator Posted June 3, 2007 Author Share Posted June 3, 2007 Well, I doubt it would be THAT drastic lol. As you are away on vacation, I will allow you to pick a main event for the next card(s), or you can PM me something you would like in return, as I would really like to go ahead and run these shows. I am currently pending an TV deal thing, so I would like to find out the results on that, as well as have fun running the shows lol. Thanks to the people who predicted, I will probably get the results up for the first show by Tuesday evening at the latest, due to my exam schedule.

Sejiro showed improvement in his aerial skills since we last met, but it wasn’t enough to beat Tomov, who locked him in the Russian Clutch and made him tap out.[/i] [b]Winner:[/b] Alexander Tomov by submission [b]C[/b] [u]Pre-Show: Match 2: Takehide Minobe vs. Eiji Kiriyama [/u] [i]A perfect blend in styles here, as both men are former professional fighters. Minobe’s debut in both wrestling and BHOTWG was a very eventful one, but Eiji came out on top with a Merciless Barrage..[/i] [b]Winner:[/b] Eiji Kiriyama by pinfall [b]B-[/b] [u]Pre-Show: Match 3: Kiba Izumi vs. Bishima[/u] [i]Bishima put up a strong fight, but eventually Kiba got him locked in the Feral Ankle Lock, and Bishima had no choice but to tap out.[/i] [b]Winner:[/b] Kiba Izumi by submission [b]B-[/b] _______________________________________________ [u]Main Show [/u] [B][U]Match 1:[/b] Jin Sakamoto vs. Alasi Tua[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/jinsakamoto.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/alasitua.jpg[/IMG] There was a huge size difference here, but the fans were instantly behind Jin, as they had heard very little of Alasi Tua before. Alasi was a huge monster however, and Jin was notable worried, though with a slight look of confidence, hoping his veteran skills would help him beat this 310 lb Samoan. When these two locked up, Sakamoto was easily pushed to the mat by Alasi. Alasi then plodded over towards Jin, only to be met with a clothesline. Alasi began to stagger, and Jin ran off of the ropes to try and hit another clothesline. Alasi still didn’t show any effect to it at all, and when Jin attempted a third, he flattened the veteran with a body smash, simply ramming his body into Jin’s. Jin collapsed to the mat and was already seemingly knocked out. Alasi then picked up Jin and put his head under his arm. He picked him up into the vertical position, and then drove him to the mat with a suplex. Alasi went for the cover, but only got a 2 count. Alasi then picked Jin up and whipped him across the ring. He went for a back body drop, but Jin attempted to reverse it by kicking Alasi in the chest. Alasi showed no effect, once again, and Jin began to back away, seemingly afraid of this monster. Jin was on the ropes, and Alasi whipped him off of them. When Jin came back, Alasi showed great strength by lifting Jin high into the air and then drilled him to the mat with a one-arm flapjack. Jin bounced off of the mat with the impact, and Alasi once again went for the cover. He got a solid two count before Jin kicked out, and this only made matters worse, as it appeared to greatly anger Alasi. Tua picked up Jin and lifted him high above his head. Jin began to beg for him not to drop him, but Tua didn’t care, and he dropped him from about 7 feet in the air down onto his knee. Jin yelled out in pain and rolled around on the mat in pain. Alasi wasn’t done yet however, and picked up Jin again, before whipping him hard into the corner. Jin seemed to be dazed, and Alasi seemed to take this as a cue, as he began to run at full speed towards the corner, and a 310lb wrestler running towards is the last thing that you would want. However, Jin had managed to recover, and used his experience to roll out of the ring as Alasi crashed into the corner. Jin then used his strength to pull Alasi to the mat and down to the outside. Jin then rolled back into the ring and began to fully recover, while Alasi was seemingly out cold from the impact on the outside. Jin managed to fully regain himself and waited for Alasi to get back in. When Alasi charged at him, Jin managed to roll under it and took down Alasi with a neck breaker. Alasi then staggered to his feet almost instantly. He then began to stare angrily at Jin, but this just served to waste time, as Jin booted him in the gut. Jin then went for the Samurai Pride, but Alasi proved to be too heavy for him to lift. Jin then dropped him back down, before running across the ring. Alasi tried to take him down with a clothesline, but Jin ducked, and ducked another attempt, and then another. During this time Jin had built up a lot of momentum, and when he hit Alasi with a clothesline, he managed to take him right off of his feet and sent him crashing to the mat. Jin then waited for Alasi to get up once again, and due to him still being dazed, Jin dropped him down to the mat with a huge spear, called the Ashigaru Spear. Jin made the cover by hooking Alasi’s huge leg, and successfully managed to get the victory. [b]Winner:[/b] Jin Sakamoto by pinfall in 9:33 [b]C[/b] – [i] Decent match, no other notes.[/i] _______________________________________________ [B][U]Match 2:[/b] Byron Valmont vs. Flash Asagi[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/byronvalmont.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/flashasagi.jpg[/IMG] Both of these men are some of the smaller guys on the roster, and both are decent high fliers. When they came down to the ring, Asagi got a decent amount of cheers, due to the fans liking him, especially the younger fans. Byron came out to a good amount of boos, due to being a gaijin, and a truly natural heel. When they locked up, it was Flash who managed to gain control with an arm wringer. Byron struggled for a little bit before flipping over and dropkicking Asagi away. Asagi rushed back in to try and locked him in another arm wringer, but Byron reversed it and put Asagi in the hold instead. Flash struggled for a little bit, just like Byron, before rolling over, then back, then forward again. Byron got dizzy watching him and didn’t notice he was standing right next to him. Byron turned right into an enziguri by Flash, and crashed to the mat. Asagi went for the cover, but only got a one count. Asagi then ran across the ring, and when he came back, he flipped over and nailed Byron with a flip senton. He went for the cover again, but Byron kicked out at two. Flash tried to go up top, but Byron saw it coming and dropkicked Asagi’s feet from under him, crotching him on the top turnbuckle. Byron then followed him up there and flipped backwards, bringing Asagi down with him in a hurracanrana. Asagi rolled around the mat due to the impact, and Byron tried to go for the cover, but Asagi kicked out at two. Byron went back up top, and when Asagi got up, he nailed him with a beautiful Missile Barrel Dropkick, a move of his own design, a spinning missile dropkick. Asagi was flipped over from the momentum, and Byron pulled him back down to the mat to try and get the cover, but Flash kicked out once more. Byron pulled him to his feet, and when he got up, he booted him in the gut. He then jumped onto his back, before using his momentum, after swinging backwards, to flip Asagi over onto his head, in a modified sunset flip pin combination. Asagi once again kicked out, and Byron couldn’t believe it. Byron pulled him up to his feet once more, but Asagi counted, kicking Valmont square in the sternum. Byron backed away, clearly in pain. Asagi followed this up with a dropkick, sending Byron into the ropes. Byron rebounded off of them and nailed Asagi with a clothesline out of nowhere. Byron draped his arm over Asagi, but Asagi got the shoulder up just after the one count was made. Byron rolled off and grabbed his head in frustration. He then leapt up to the top rope, but Asagi had recovered and dropkicked him before he could fully balance himself. Byron tried to stay on the top, but he eventually tumbled to the outside, landing with a sickening thud. Asagi followed him to the outside and pulled him back in. Asagi then went to the corner and began to slap his leg. The fans began to clap along with him. Byron staggered to his feet, causing Asagi to begin to run at him. Asagi went for the Flash Lightning, a super kick, but Byron ducked it and booted Asagi in the gut, before drilling him into the mat with a DDT. The fans gasped at how quickly Byron had recovered. Byron hopped back up top, and leapt off with a Shooting Star Press Leg Drop, the Bombs Over London, and made the cover. 1… 2… 3 Byron had managed to get the victory, and looks fairly impressive so far. [b]Winner:[/b] Byron Valmont by pinfall in 8:21 [b]D[/b] [i]- Complete lack of psychology damaged this match beyond repair. Now I regret not putting the ‘Script’ note in.[/i] _______________________________________________ [B][U]Match 3:[/b] Stunner Okazawaya vs. Akira Shirou[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/StunnerOkazawaya.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/akirashirou.jpg[/IMG] When these two locked up, it was Akira who got the early advantage, pummelling Stunner into the mat with a powerful clubbing blow. Akira then stomped away at the back of Stunner. Akira then pulled Stunner up to his feet and whipped him across the ring. When Stunner ducked a clothesline attempt, Akira caught him on the return journey and drove him down to the mat with a single arm spinebuster, showing his immense power. Stunner grabbed his back and began to cry out in pain, and Akira just seemed to enjoy watching Stunner in pain. When Stunner tried to get up, he booted him in the back, driving him to the mat with his foot. He then yelled something at Stunner before picking him and whipping him into the corner. Stunner staggered out of the corner because of the impact, and was met with a shoulder block from Akira, sending him hurtling into the turnbuckles. He then crashed back down to the mat. Akira shoved him out of the ring with his foot and began to beat his chest. When Stunner made his way back into the ring, Akira pummelled him back to the mat with a couple of vicious clubbing blows. He then stomped away at his spine, eager on crushing any life that remained in Stunner out of him. He then dragged Stunner up to his feet. Akira booted him in the gut and put him in the position for a powerbomb. He spread out his arms to signal to the crowd. He then heaved Stunner over his head. But Stunner used the momentum to flip over and land behind Akira. Akira didn’t notice until he had been brought down to the mat with a neck breaker. Akira grabbed his neck in pain while Stunner began to kick away at his sternum. Akira flinched with each kick, showing that Stunner had managed to find his weak spot. Stunner then tried to pull the big man to his feet, but Akira punched him in the gut with a huge amount of force. Stunner flew up into the air from the impact, and Akira then caught him in mid-air before driving him into the mat with a stiff spinebuster. Stunner yelled out in pain again, and Akira smiled as well. Akira obviously realised his had weakened a part of Stunner. Akira picked up Stunner and whipped him across the ring. Stunner tried to counter whatever move he was going to do with a clothesline, but Akira ducked it and drove him down to the mat with an STO. Stunner flipped over from the impact and Akira went for the cover. Stunner showed his determination by kicking out at 2. Akira couldn’t have been happier however, as this mean he could kick more ass. Akira dragged Stunner to his feet and kicked him in the gut. He then hooked one of his legs and flipped him overhead with a Fisherman Suplex. He bridged it, but Stunner kicked out almost right away. Akira then glared in anger at the referee. He got up and began to argue with Shuichi Yamagoto (the referee for this match). The referee would have none of it however and yelled back at Akira. Akira took this very offensively and shoved Shuichi, and because of his power, he sent him over the top rope with ease. Shuichi landed on his feet however, but he didn’t order for the bell to be rung. Akira lifted Stunner up to his feet, unaware that Shuichi had come up behind him. Akira booted Stunner in the gut, and realised that Shuichi was not out cold on the outside all too late, as Shuichi delivered the final blow with a low blow. Akira yelled out in pain, and his face was full of expression as the fans went nuts, cheering the referee’s name. Stunner noticed that Akira was dazed and bounced off of the ropes. He took the big man down with a flying forearm smash, and then pulled Akira to his feet, before driving him back to the mat with a face buster. Stunner then got ready to end it by picking up Akira and booting him in the gut. Stunner then drilled Akira with the Okazawaya Stunner and went for the cover. He got the three, and after getting up he shook the referee’s hand and celebrated with him. Akira’s face was one of complete surprise, as well as pain and discomfort. [b]Winner:[/b] Stunner Okazawaya by pinfall in 11:36 [b]C[/b] – [i]Guess it was kind of a clash of styles, but it was still good.[/i] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Match 4:[/b] Tasuku Nandaba vs. Cobra[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/TasukuNandaba.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/Cobra-1.jpg[/IMG] Both men are determined stars in BHOTWG; Cobra is one half of the Japanese Tag Team champions, a belt he has held twice. Tasuku has yet to hold a belt in the company, but is almost destined to get one sooner or later. Both men would benefit from a win here tonight. A win for Cobra could translate to a chance in the Main Event, whereas a win for Tasuku could translate into a shot at the tag belts. When these two locked up, it was Tasuku who got the advantage, twisting Cobra’s wrist with an arm wringer. Cobra used his technical superiority to reverse the hold and slap it on Tasuku instead. Tasuku struggled for a few brief moments before showing his immense power by simply twisting Cobra’s arm while he was still in the hold. Cobra was forced to release it and retreated to the corner. Tasuku squatted down and dared Cobra to try again. The two circled each other before locking up, with Cobra getting the advantage after a knee to the gut. He tried to bring Tasuku down to the mat for an armbar, but Tasuku was determined not to let him get the advantage, and stood firm. Cobra then attempted a modified STO, but Tasuku jumped over Cobra’s leg sweep, before squashing Cobra with a cross body. Tasuku then picked up Cobra and whipped him across the ring. Cobra was desperate not to allow Tasuku to gain momentum, so he grabbed a hold of the ropes and prepared for the worst. Tasuku charged at him, and Cobra ran out to meet him, trying to prove his strength is superior. This was definitely not the case, as he was turned inside-out and flipped upside-down by a devastating lariat from Tasuku. When Cobra hit the mat there was no better way to describe his expression than pure surprise. Tasuku picked him back up and whipped him into the corner. He then followed up by charging in and nailing Cobra in the gut with his knee. Cobra doubled up, so Tasuku hit him with a punch to the jaw. Cobra stood up straight again, before being kicked in the gut. He was then driven to the mat with a sharp elbow to the back of the neck. Tasuku dragged Cobra to the middle of the ring before lifting him back up. He kicked Cobra in the gut and went for a powerbomb, but Cobra kept the momentum going and landed in front of Tasuku. The two shared a brief stare down before both ran into the ropes. Both men went for clotheslines, and levelled each other. Tasuku got up first, and began to pummel away at Cobra. Cobra was defenceless, until Tasuku backed away due to the referee warning him. He then pulled Cobra to his feet before booting him in the gut again. He then ran across the ring and came off of the ropes with a big amount of speed. He went to hit Cobra with a high knee, but Cobra moved out of the way, and swept Tasuku’s feet from under him, sending the big man crashing to the mat. Cobra then pulled him up to his feet quickly, and booted him in the gut. Cobra capitalised on Tasuku’s temporary dazed state, and lifted Tasuku into the air, not an easy thing to do, and drilled him down onto his knee in a modified backbreaker, called the Serpentine Backbreaker. Tasuku grabbed his back before crying out in pain. Cobra laughed and went to lock in the Cobra Constrictor Clutch. He managed to get it locked in and Tasuku seemed to pass out. The referee raised his hand once, and it fell to the mat. Cobra roared in delight. The referee raised his hand again, and it again fell down to the mat. He went to lift it up a third time, but Tasuku shook him off and slowly began to shake Cobra off. He sat up and grabbed Cobra’s head. Cobra released the hold to try and make Tasuku release his head, but realised all to late what he had done, when Tasuku pulled him up by his hair, stared right through him and lifted him high into the air. Tasuku dropped Cobra to the mat with a Flapjack. Cobra began to roll around in pain, and Tasuku waited in the corner for him to get up. Cobra staggered to his feet, and the crowd began to taunt him, trying to get him to turn around. Tasuku charged at him, and nearly decapitated him with a Full Swing Lariat. He left his arm draped across the neck of Cobra, who was motionless as the count was made. [b]Winner:[/b] Tasuku Nandaba by pinfall in 14:58 [b]B[/b] [i]- Really good match, no chemistry notes at all. Was probably so good due to the star power involved.[/i] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Match 5:[/b] Kenji Fukamura© vs. Viper For the Burning Pacific Championship [/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/kenjifukamura.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/Viper-1.jpg[/IMG] Kenji had a huge amount of momentum heading into this match, having won his last two matches with relative ease. Viper was also determined in this match. He wanted to take the belt away from Kenji and make the Japanese fans realise how good he really is, and the only way he believed they would see that is through hold two belts at once. When they locked up, it was Kenji who got the advantage with an armbar, he then shoved Viper down to the mat quickly and locked the hold in even tighter. Viper reached towards Kenji to try and make him release the hold, but Kenji wasn’t about to do that. When Viper’s hand got too close, Kenji grabbed that and applied a surfboard to Viper. Viper struggled and struggled, obviously in a lot of pain. Kenji wasn’t going to let Viper get out of the hold, and showed his technical prowess by quickly bringing Viper down to the mat with a rear choke. Viper lashed out with his arms, desperate to grab hold of the ropes. He eventually managed to reach them and forced Kenji to release the hold. He used the ropes to pull himself up and stared at Kenji, who taunted him and dared him to lock up with him again. They circled each other for a long time, with Viper trying to figure out a way to get back the advantage. When they locked up, Viper suddenly grabbed Kenji’s leg and forced him down to the mat. He quickly dropped his elbow into the back of Kenji’s knee and applied a tight kneelock. Kenji was in pain and reached out for the ropes. Luckily Kenji had fallen near the ropes and he promptly grabbed onto the bottom rope to make Viper release the hold. Viper backed off, but not before stomping away at Kenji’s knee. Kenji then struggled back up, using the ropes to pull himself up like Viper had done. Viper then taunted him, daring him to lock up once again. The two circled each other once more, and when they locked up, Viper tried to trip up Kenji, but Kenji elbowed Viper in the head before he could do so. Kenji quickly got the advantage after kicking Viper in the gut, and then heaved him over for a nice gut wrench suplex. Kenji went for the cover, but Viper kicked out with apparent ease. Kenji slapped the mat in frustration. Kenji then pulled Viper back up to his feet, kneed him twice in the gut to make sure he was dazed, and then whipped him over with a spinning neck breaker. Viper grabbed his neck, and Kenji used this time to run across the ring. When he came back he dropped his knee across the head of Viper, who grabbed it out of pain. Kenji dragged him back up to his feet and whipped him into the corner. Kenji charged and nailed Viper with a vicious back elbow. He then grabbed Viper’s head, and then ran forward. He drilled Viper into the mat with a running Superstar Cutter. He went for the cover, but Viper was near to the ropes and so he put his foot on the bottom rope before the 3 count. Kenji pulled him back up, but Viper countered and pushed Kenji to the mat. He then grabbed Kenji’s leg, and began to yank it forward, nearly pulling it out of the joint each time. He then kept hold of the leg while running behind Kenji. He then dropped to the mat, pulling the leg with him. It snapped back in sickly fashion, causing Kenji to yell out in pain and caused him to grab his leg. Viper laughed and pulled the leg again, before pulling Kenji onto his front and locking in a Boston Crab. Kenji showed his determination when he used all of his strength to claw his way to the ropes, and pulled Viper along with him. He latched onto the bottom rope, forcing Viper to release the hold. Kenji quickly rolled out of the ring and recovered, but didn’t notice Viper running across the ring. Viper used the ropes to fly to the outside, but Kenji moved out of the way, and Viper crashed to the concrete. Kenji used this time to get back in the ring and fully recover. Viper eventually made his way into the ring. He was still dazed from the impact, and was caught completely off guard with the Superstar Kick from Kenji! Viper tumbled to the mat, and Kenji fell on top of him to get the cover. 1… 2… 3 Kenji got the win out of nowhere! [b]Winner:[/b] Kenji Fukamura by pinfall in 14:43. Kenji Fukamura makes defence number 3 of his Burning Pacific Championship. [b]C+ [/b] [I]- These two didn’t seem to click, which damaged the match somewhat.[/I] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Main Event:[/b] Master Kitozon & Seison Yamanaka vs. DEMON Yukata & Onishiki[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/MasterKitozon.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/SeisonYamanaka.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/demonyukata.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/onishiki.jpg[/IMG] 3 out of these 4 men could use a victory here tonight to prove something. Seison could use the victory here to show his ability to beat both smaller and bigger guys. DEMON could use a victory to show that he has what it takes to be a main eventer, while Onishiki could use a victory to show that he is still worthy of a main event spot, or that he isn’t going to give up easy. Seison & Yukata started out. They began to circle each other, with Yukata taunting Seison, and Onishiki joined in from the apron. Seison followed his mentor’s teachings and didn’t let it affect him. In fact, he showed how focused he was when, at a lightning speed, took Yukata down to the mat with a dragon screw leg whip. Yukata stood up once he recovered, and stared at Seison. Seison began to get a little freaked out by the way Yukata was staring at him, until Master Kitozon yelled encouragement from the outside. Seison suddenly seemed to change. He charged at Yukata and took him down with a clothesline. Yukata sprung up and went for a shoulder block on Seison, but Seison moved out of the way. As soon as Yukata hit the canvas Seison began to stomp away at his knee. He kicked it three straight times, and then drove his elbow into the back of it. Yukata crawled towards his corner, but Seison kept driving his elbow to the back of his knee, so he couldn’t move that fast at all. Seison then made Yukata’s position even direr, as he locked him in a Bow & Arrow Lock. Yukata flailed wildly, trying to reach the ropes. Seison eventually just threw Yukata off, as he felt he was going to win and didn’t want to win that easily. Yukata then struggled to pull himself up using the ropes. Seison charged at him to take him over the ropes with a clothesline, but Yukata moved out of the way and threw Seison over the top rope, sending him crashing to the outside. Yukata then leapt to his corner and tagged in Onishiki. Kitozon glared a giant hole right through him. It should be said that Kitozon had kept the same expression on his face throughout the match so far, which was no expression. Onishiki seemed to stare at him quizzically before going to the outside and picking up Seison. He booted Seison in the gut, before whipping him into the side of the ring using all of his strength. Seison rested against the side of the ring after hitting it, as he was in too much pain to move. This was a mistake however, as Onishiki charged at him and drove his back further into the side of the ring with a spear. Seison collapsed to his knees, which caused Onishiki to throw him back into the ring. Onishiki then picked up Seison once he had climbed back into the ring and whipped him across the ring. When Seison returned, Onishiki took him to the mat with a spinebuster. He then climbed on top and began to unleash a barrage of punches into the face of Seison. Kitozon still stared blankly from the apron, seemingly having a staring contest with Yukata across the ring, who had the same blank stare on his demonic face. Onishiki picked up Seison and whipped him into his corner. He tagged Yukata back in and began to stomp away at the chest of Seison. Yukata joined in, before lifting Seison back up to his feet. He kneed him in the gut before taking him overhead with a snap suplex. He went for the cover but only got a 2 count. Yukata then tried to best Seison in technical moves, which would begin his downfall. He locked Seison into a headlock, which allowed Seison to recover slightly. Seison immediately flipped out of the headlock and applied one on Yukata. Yukata showed his determination by standing up while in the hold, bringing Seison up with him. Yukata punched away at the stomach of Seison, causing him to release the hold, before running across the ring and bouncing off of the ropes to clothesline Seison. Seison countered however, and levelled Yukata with a clothesline of his own. Both men were prone on the mat. Seison moved first. The crowd began to cheer for Kitozon, and Seison gave them there wish when he made the hot tag to Kitozon! Yukata had made the tag to Onishiki as well, and Onishiki charged into the ring with a full head of steam. Kitozon & Onishiki met mid-way and neither budged an inch. Onishiki tried to push Kitozon away, but Kitozon just shoved back. Onishiki went to punch Kitozon, but Kitozon caught his hand and brought him to his knees with a vicious hold. Onishiki struggled back up to his feet and used his fair share of power to whip Kitozon across the ring. When Kitozon came back however, he dropped Onishiki with a clothesline. Yukata had recovered by now and charged at Kitozon, only to be dropped to the canvas by a Kitozon Chop! Seison was on the apron and was cheering for Kitozon, as were the crowd. Kitozon picked up Onishiki and whipped him into the corner. Onishiki hit the turnbuckles with a thud. Kitozon then charged in and hit Onishiki with a thunderous chop. He then chopped him again. The fans realised what was coming, and began to count along as Kitozon continually chopped away at the chest of Onishiki. When he reached 15 he stopped, and Onishiki staggered out of the corner. Kitozon then used up all of his strength to heave the big man over with a Northern Lights Suplex. He bridged it and went for the cover. 1… 2… No! Onishiki kicked out. Seison let out a big sigh of disappointment, but was silenced as soon as Kitozon looked at him. Kitozon then stood up and walked over to the corner, waiting for Onishiki to stand up. When he did, Kitozon charged at him and nailed him with the Kitozon Chop! Onishiki didn’t go down though! Kitozon stared at him, with a very very slight look of surprise crossing his face. Kitozon just went for the Kitozon chop again, but Onishiki flipped him over with a thunderous clothesline. Onishiki recovered for a little while, and then picked up Kitozon. Onishiki booted him in the gut and put him in position for a powerbomb. Kitozon sprang to life all of a sudden and nailed Onishiki with a Kitozon Chop at point blank range! Onishiki tumbled over to the mat, bringing Kitozon down with him. Kitozon then stood up and began to signal to the crowd. He challenged Yukata to come in, which DEMON obliged, only to once again be dropped with a Chop. Every member of the crowd yelled “Kitozon Chop!” with each time he has done it so far in this match. Kitozon then waited for Onishiki to stagger to his feet. This time when he charged and hit the Kitozon Chop, Onishiki went down. Kitozon made the cover, and Yukata couldn’t stop it as he was lying prone on the mat due to the two Kitozon Chops he has suffered. 1… 2… 3! Kitozon & Yamanaka pick up the win! [b]Winner:[/b] Master Kitozon & Seison Yamanaka by pinfall on Onishiki by Kitozon in 17:58 [b]B+[/b] [i]- A great match. Surprised by the rating as neither of the opponents are particularly popular compared to Seison & Kitozon [/i] ____________________________________________ [b]Overall:[/b] B- [b]Notes:[/b] Pleased with this show overall, but I’m getting a bit annoyed that I’m constantly pulling out B- cards. Though I’m happy they’re not C+’s, I wish they could be B’s. Sadistic gets 6/6 once again, I’m getting tired of that, but he gets to pick a main event again. Midnightnick gets 4/6, so you get to pm me an uppercard match you would like to see. I would like some feedback on that show as well please, as I felt I may have made some of the matches a little too one-sided, so I would appreciate if anybody could tell me what they thought of the matches ____________________________________________ [/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danger came down to the ring confident, and focused, on winning here tonight. Eiji came down with the same angry face as always, as all he cared about was being able to kick some ass. When the two locked up, it was Eiji who came out on top with a couple of vicious knees right into the ribs. Danger had already lost his breath and it was barely even 5 seconds into the match. Eiji then whipped Danger across the ring, and when he came back he sent Danger flying with a Judo Arm Drag Takedown. He kept hold of the arm and locked in a tight arm bar. Danger struggled through the pain as much as he could before summoning his strength and then began to slowly get up to his feet. He punched Eiji in the gut three times, and then whipped Eiji across the ring. Danger took Eiji down with a sharp back elbow. Danger then backed off into the corner to recover from the arm bar. This was a bad decision however, as Eiji quickly recovered from the elbow and charged at Danger in the corner. He then drove his shoulder into the gut of Danger, before delivering a sick uppercut to the jaw. This literally flipped Danger over the top turnbuckle and sent him crashing to the outside. Eiji followed him out and picked him up. He booted Danger in the gut and then whipped him into the barriers, almost sending him into the audience. Eiji rolled back into the ring and then back out to break the count. He followed Danger and then brought him back into the ring. He whipped Danger across the ring, and when Eiji went for a clothesline, he was met by a clothesline from Danger instead! Eiji hit the mat hard, and Danger followed it up by rolling him over and attempting to lock in the Aurora Surfboard Vice. Eiji showed his slyness by putting his hands in the way of Danger wrapping his legs around his neck. Eiji then pulled Danger’s legs off of him and pulled him up. Danger must have looked foolish standing on one leg, hopping around. Eiji looked at Danger with a weird smile on his face. In one swift motion, he pulled Danger towards him using his leg, and then drilled him with a clothesline. Danger crashed to the mat, and Eiji unleashed a series of punches right to the skull. Danger slowly seemed to fade away after each punch. Eiji wasn’t done yet however and peeled Danger off of the mat before whipping him into the nearest corner. He whipped him with so much force that Danger seemed to fold into the corner. Eiji then slowly made his way towards Danger. Danger tried to elbow Eiji in the face, but Eiji dodged it and nailed him in the stomach with a punch. Danger doubled over, which allowed Eiji to throw Danger back into the corner head first. Eiji then unleashed all of his fury with a Merciless Barrage. Danger didn’t react after the 4th punch, seemingly going limp. This didn’t stop Eiji however, as he continued to pound away at his lifeless body even after the referee ordered the match to stop due to a knockout. [b]Winner:[/b] Eiji Kiriyama by knockout in 5:30 [b]B-[/b] – [i] Really impressive rating for these two, though the fact they had great chemistry had a lot to do with it, maybe Eiji can be salvaged yet.[/i] _______________________________________________ [B][U]Match 2:[/b] Byron Valmont vs. Akahashi Kuno[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/byronvalmont.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/akahashikuno.jpg[/IMG] A great match in terms of styles, with both men being talented high fliers, but Kuno brought some expert technical wrestling into the mix, and this is what gave him an advantage from the start. When the two locked up, Kuno got control with an arm wrench. Kuno kept twisting the joint the apply pressure, but Byron got out of it by showing his athleticism and flipped over. He then reversed the hold and slapped it on Kuno instead. Kuno showed his technical knowledge when he flipped onto his back, which confused Byron. Kuno then quickly used his legs to grab Byron’s arm. He then used his leg strength to pull Byron down to the mat, and then slapped on an arm bar. Byron slapped his arm out of pain, but eventually managed to make his way to his feet. Kuno kept the hold on, eager to make sure Byron never gained any momentum. Byron swiftly managed to counter the arm bar however, and reversed it into another arm wrench. Kuno seemed to be in more pain than before this time, and this caused a smile to cross the face of Byron. Byron then climbed up to the top rope and began to pose for the crowd who booed him. He just smiled and leapt off of the top rope. He flipped over Kuno, while still holding his arm. He landed on his behind, and used the momentum to flip Kuno over with a devastating arm drag. The fans couldn’t help but applaud this move. Byron then climbed back up to the top rope, and waited for Kuno to get back to his feet. When Kuno did, he flew off of the top rope once more to deliver a missile dropkick, but Kuno had moved out of the way, so Byron hit nothing but canvas. Kuno pulled him back up and whipped him across the ring. Kuno ran off of the ropes as well, and attempted a clothesline, but Byron ducked it. The two kept running and bounced off of the ropes again. Byron went for the clothesline this time, but Kuno ducked it. The two came off of the ropes one final time, and this time Kuno nailed Byron with an amazing Super Kick, which flipped Byron backwards due to his momentum. It left Kuno out due to exhaustion as well, so the referee began to count to ten. 1… 2... 3… 4… 5… 6…Kuno made his way to his feet 7… 8…Byron got up Both men locked up again, with Kuno getting the advantage once again by drilling Byron into the mat with an STO. Byron used the momentum to roll through and ran at Kuno, but Kuno swept his legs out from under him and went for a cover. Byron kicked out right away, but Kuno brought him back to the mat with a reverse face buster. Kuno hooked the leg and went for a cover once again, but Byron kicked out at two this time. Kuno was beginning to tire after all the high flying antics, and ascended the ropes to pull off the Glittering Mirage. Byron staggered to his feet, still groggy from the reverse face buster, and turned to face Kuno. Kuno leapt off of the top rope and connected with a back kick right to Byron’s head. Byron crashed to the mat due to the impact of the move, and Kuno was up shortly after hitting it. He then began to stalk Byron, making the crowd clap along with him so he could get ready to hit the Glittering Magician. The fans began to stomp their feet in time with Kuno, and once Byron got onto one knee, Kuno charged and drove him back down to the mat with the Glittering Magician. Kuno then hooked the leg and got the victory, leading to a huge amount of cheering from the fans. [b]Winner:[/b] Akahashi Kuno by pinfall in 6:10 [b]C+[/b] [i]- Some scripting helped this match undoubtedly, but it was still a good match.[/i] _______________________________________________ [B][U]Match 3:[/b] Kazuo Mitsushi vs. Satoru Sugimura[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/kazuomitsushi.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/satorusugimura.jpg[/IMG] When these two locked up, it was Kazuo who got the control, using his superior power to throw Satoru over with a hip toss. Kazuo then picked up Satoru and booted him twice in the gut before flipping him overhead with a snap suplex. He quickly moved to make the cover, but Satoru kicked out right away. Kazuo pulled him back to his feet, but Satoru pushed him away and charged at him. Kazuo went for a clothesline, but Satoru ducked under it and ended up behind Kazuo. He then brought Kazuo down to the mat with a neckbreaker, swiftly changing the momentum of the match. Satoru locked him in a headlock, but after Kazuo seemed to easily find a way to get out if it he locked him in a surfboard. Kazuo struggled and stomped his foot to try and get the crowd on his side. The crowd booed him and cheered for Satoru instead. Satoru smiled and dropped to his back, stretching Kazuo further with a modified Surfboard, called the Masked Assassin. Kazuo was in a lot of pain and desperately tried to use his power to break out of the hold, but whenever he tried to move his hands it hurt a lot due to the pressure being applied. He eventually managed to work through the pain and rolled over, ending up underneath the ropes and forcing Satoru to break the hold. When Satoru released him, Kazuo dropped to the outside to recover. Satoru wasn’t about to let him do that however and grabbed Kazuo once he had stood up. But Kazuo dropped down and brought Satoru down across the ropes. Kazuo then stood up and smiled before heading back into the ring. Satoru grabbed his throat and rolled around in the ring as Kazuo approached him. Kazuo then dragged Satoru up to his feet and placed him on the ropes. Kazuo then viciously chopped Satoru across the chest, with the chop resounding throughout the arena. Kazuo then whipped Satoru across the ring, and when he came back he lifted him high into the air and drilled him into the mat with a spinebuster. Kazuo went for the cover, but only got a 2 count, which surprised most people as they thought Satoru was in too much pain to kick out. Kazuo then pulled Satoru up to his feet and kneed him in the gut. Kazuo then scooted around Satoru, and when Satoru returned to standing upright, Kazuo grabbed him around the waist and heaved him over with a German Suplex. Kazuo kept the arms wrapped however, and pulled Satoru to his feet again. This time however, he lifted Kazuo into the air and dropped him with a modified back suplex. He still had the arms wrapped around the waist of Satoru, and pulled him back up to his feet again. Satoru was too weak to reverse the move, and Kazuo flipped Satoru overhead with a vicious snap Tiger Suplex. The fans gasped as Satoru landed on the back of his neck and lay motionless on the mat for a short time. Kazuo didn’t give him enough time to recover and was instantly making the cover, but Satoru got his foot on the ropes, something Kazuo forgot about. Kazuo then picked up Satoru and slapped him across the face to wake him up before whipping him across the ring into the corner. He then charged towards Satoru, but Satoru showed his athleticism by flipping over the top rope, causing Kazuo to crash into the turnbuckles. Kazuo staggered back, which prompted Satoru to flip back over the ropes, and he connected with an enziguri which sent Kazuo down to the mat. Satoru then waited for Kazuo to get up, before booting him in the gut and going for the Sugimura Slice. But he hesitated too long this time, allowing Kazuo to reverse it and hit the Star Cutter, his own version of the Cutter. Kazuo then went for the cover and got the victory. Satoru sat up annoyed with himself for wasting time, but accepted that he had lost. [b]Winner:[/b] Kazuo Mitsushi by pinfall at 9:57 [b]B-[/b] – [i]Quite good, Kazuo impresses yet again, as this was of equal rating to the main event (which had a didn’t seem to click note), no chemistry notes for this match however.[/i] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Match 4:[/b] Noriyoshi Sanada vs. White Manta[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/noriyoshisanada.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/WhiteManta.jpg[/IMG] These two had something to prove here tonight, as both men were very talented technical wrestlers, but both are past their prime. Noriyoshi has so far gone undefeated and is known for his vicious submissions, whereas Manta has no evident streak, but is also known for his submission skill. A win here by submission by either man could mean big things for that person. When these two locked up it was Manta who got the early control, using his veteran experience to catch Sanada by surprise and brought him to the mat by picking up his leg and then sweeping away Sanada’s other leg. Manta then stomped at Sanada’s chest, before locking in a standing twisting knee lock. Sanada yelled out in pain, but managed to grab the bottom rope with his hand, as Manta had forgot they were close to the ropes. Manta released the hold, but then just grabbed Sanada’s leg and dragged him into the middle of the ring. Manta then locked in the same move, but Sanada reversed it and pushed Manta away using his leg strength. Manta crashed to the mat, but scrambled up to his feet. Manta then tried to charge at Sanada to take him down, but Sanada used his slight height advantage to stand firm against a clothesline attempt, and instead flipped Manta over with his own clothesline when White Manta tried again. Sanada then capitalised on this chance and pulled Manta into the middle of the ring. He grabbed the leg of Manta, and began to attempt a figure-four leg lock, but Manta managed to wriggle out of it just in time and got up to his feet. Sanada was caught off guard once again and got a stiff kick to the chest for his troubles. Manta then pulled the taller Sanada to his feet, but was met with three stiff shots to the temple, and then one spinning forearm smash to the face. Manta dropped to the mat and rubbed his face, but Sanada dragged him back up and flung him into the corner. Sanada then charged in and hit a back elbow. He quickly grabbed hold of Manta’s head afterwards and flipped him over with a headlock takedown. He then dropped to his knee and applied a tight chin lock. Manta reached out for the ropes and just managed to grab the bottom rope, must to Sanada’s frustration. Sanada just pummelled Manta in the chest for his troubles and dragged him back into the middle of the ring once again. Sanada kept hold of one of Manta’s legs, and dropped his elbow into knee three times. After the third time he stayed in place and applied a knee lock. Manta resorted to desperation tactics and raked Sanada’s eyes to make him release the hold. Sanada then kicked away at Manta’s chest with anger and ran across the ring. When he came back he went for a leg drop, but Manta rolled out of the way. When Sanada sat up, Manta pushed him back down with a basement dropkick. Manta then ran across the ring himself and connected with a flip senton on Sanada. Sanada grabbed his stomach in pain, and Manta went for the cover, but Sanada managed to kick out at two. Manta once again tried to pull Manta up to his feet, but Manta was too powerful to do so, and Manta found himself in the air for a powerbomb. Sanada dropped Manta to the mat with a thud, before collapsing to the mat himself. He crawled over to make the cover, but Manta kicked out at two! Sanada was getting tired, so he pulled Manta back to the middle of the ring one more time. He turned Manta over and hastily applied the Sanada Pyramid. Manta screamed out in pain and desperately tried to use all of strength to claw his way to the ropes, but Sanada was intent on not letting him do so, and applied a lot of pressure to the back and legs of Manta. Manta eventually couldn’t take any more and tapped out vigorously, but Sanada ignored it, even when the referee tried to pull him off. [b]Winner:[/b] Noriyoshi Sanada by submission in 11:35 [b]C+[/b] [i]- Disappointing match in terms of rating, but I guess I may have made the match go on too long.[/i] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Match 5:[/b] Black Serpent Cult© vs. Izumi & Takani For the Burning Japanese Tag Team titles [/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/Cobra-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/Viper-1.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/kibaizumi.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/shogotakani.jpg[/IMG] These two teams were almost a perfect match for each other. Both have highly trained technicians among them, and both sides were determined to come away with the victory here today. Izumi & Takani wanted to prove they could still produce good results in the ring, while the Black Serpent Cult wanted to prove their tag title win was not a fluke, and that they meant business. Izumi & Takani’s game plan was a simple one, separate one of the members of the BSC, pick him apart with submissions and take the belts. The BSC’s game plan was also simple, kick some ass and bring back the belts. It was Cobra and Izumi who locked up first and it was Izumi who used his experience advantage to catch Cobra off guard with a dragon screw leg whip, and then locked in a knee lock. Cobra tried to reverse the hold, but Izumi cranked up the pressure even more every time he tried to escape. Cobra eventually had to hop on his behind to the ropes, and wrapped both of his arms across the bottom rope. Izumi dragged Cobra back to the middle of the ring and pulled him up to his feet. Cobra tried to push him away, but Izumi grabbed Cobra’s hand and twisted it with an arm wrench. Cobra dropped to one knee due to the pain, but got up to his feet as Viper cheered him on from the apron. Izumi kicked out Cobra’s legs from under him, causing him to hit the mat hard, before dragging him over to his corner and tagging out to Takani. Takani climbed into the ring and drilled his elbow twice into Cobra’s arm, before taking over the hold, and twisting it once more for good measure. Cobra managed to get close to the ropes and wrapped his free arm round one of them, forcing Takani to release the hold. Takani just whipped Cobra across the ring, but Cobra reversed it and sent Takani into the ropes, but Takani showed his experience when he reversed it yet again and sent Cobra into the ropes. He then sent Cobra flying overhead with a back body drop. Takani picked up Cobra and whipped him into the corner, but when he charged in, he met nothing but turnbuckle as Cobra leapt out of the corner and tagged in Viper. Viper came in with a full head of steam. He drilled a staggering Takani into the mat with a reverse DDT. He then stood right back up and dropped an interfering Izumi when he ran towards him with a clothesline. He picked up Izumi and lifted him above his head, before dropping him to the outside. Izumi hit the mats hard, and was clearly in pain as he grabbed his back. Cobra had managed to recover by now, and joined Viper in the ring for the double-team on Takani. They both picked up Takani and whipped him across the ring. They then both drilled him with a double clothesline, before sealing that deal with a double elbow drop. They weren’t completely done yet as they picked him up again and whipped him across the ring one more time. When he came back, Cobra & Viper combined their strength to lift Takani high into the air and dropped him to the mat with a double flapjack. Cobra then went to the apron and Viper went for the cover on Takani. 1… 2… No! Takani proved he still had his veteran instinct by kicking out in the nick of time. Izumi was on the outside and had just recovered. He clambered into the ring to help his partner, but he was sent back out of the ring by a dropkick from Cobra. Izumi landed badly once more, smacking his head on the announce table. Cobra then attempted a chin lock on a prone Takani but Takani flipped Cobra over and tried to attempt a Twisting of the Knife, but Cobra managed to wriggle out of it just in time and dropkicked Takani in the face. Cobra then told Viper to watch Izumi, and then winked at him. Cobra began to pummel away at the face of Takani, before he suddenly caught something that was thrown in his direction by Viper. Viper then called over to the referee and told him he though Izumi was badly hurt. The referee left the ring to check on Izumi, while inside the ring Cobra had lit a fireball! He then threw it right into the face of Shogo, who began to scream in pain, which drew the attention of the referee, but Viper masked his view. Cobra quickly locked in the Cobra Constrictor Clutch, but Shogo was unable to do anything as he had passed out from shock due to the fireball. The referee counted it as a submission, and the Black Serpent Cult retained their belts. [b]Winner:[/b] Black Serpent Cult by submission from Cobra on Shogo Takani at 14:32. Black Serpent Cult makes defence number 1 of their Burning Japanese Tag Team titles. [b]B- [/b] [I]- Decent match, though not of the calibre I expected.[/I] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Match 6:[/b] Kenji Fukamura© vs. Edo Phoenix For the Burning Pacific Championship [/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/kenjifukamura.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/EdoPhoenix.jpg[/IMG] When these two locked up, it was Kenji who got the control with a quick knee to the gut and he followed up with a double axe handle to the back. Edo Phoenix only dropped to one knee, and came back with a barrage of kicks aimed at Kenji. Kenji managed to defend against a majority of them, but he fell prey to some kicks to the gut and he got whipped across the ring by Edo. Kenji went for a clothesline, but Edo leapt over the attempt and dropkick Kenji in the back, catching the champion off guard. Kenji stared at Edo in disbelief for a little while before rushing at the veteran. Edo ducked under another clothesline attempt, but this time instead of dropkicking Kenji, he drilled him into the mat with a reverse DDT. Edo then waited for Kenji to get back up before running to the ropes. He then springboarded off of the top rope and drove Kenji back into the mat with a swinging DDT. He went for the cover, but Kenji kicked out easily at two. Edo then went back up to try and keep the momentum on his side, but Kenji followed him up to the top rope, and sent Edo flying with a Release Belly to Belly suplex, which made both men hit the mat with a thud and caused the crowd to explode. Kenji managed to make his way to his feet first, and pulled Edo up to his feet. Kenji stopped a punch attempt and kneed Edo firmly in the gut. He then lifted Edo into a vertical suplex position, before leaping into the air and falling back at the same time, which made Edo land on his back and the bottom of his neck. Kenji followed this up with a pinfall attempt, but Edo’s instinct kicked in and he kicked out at two. Kenji picked up Edo again and whipped him into the corner, but when he tried to go for a clothesline, Edo leapt over him and pulled Kenji down for a sunset flip pin. Kenji rolled through it however and nailed Edo with a kick to the head, which made Edo roll to the outside. Edo staggered around for a while, gathering his breath before climbing back into the ring. Both men circled each other for a little while before locking up again. Edo got the control this time with an arm bar, and he used what power he had to bring Kenji down to the mat. He then switched submissions and locked in a Crowbar instead, which sent Kenji into a frenzy it would seem. Kenji desperately tried to reach for the ropes, but they were too far away for him to grab hold of. Edo allowed Kenji to escape due to a hesitation however, as Edo was distracted by something, which allowed Kenji to get out of the hold and locked Edo in a chinlock. Edo managed to grab hold of Kenji’s head and summoned all of his strength to quickly stagger to his feet. He then dropped back down and brought Kenji with him into a jaw breaker. Kenji released the hold and grabbed hold of his jaw, allowing Edo to escape and recover. Edo then picked up Kenji once he had recovered and booted him in the gut. Edo followed up with a knee and then snapped Kenji over for the Phoenix Breaker, an extremely fast snap twisting neckbreaker. He went for the cover on Kenji, but he kicked out at two and a half. Edo then dragged Kenji back up to his feet and began to brawl with him. Kenji easily took control and whipped Edo into the corner. Kenji followed up with a clothesline to the back of Edo, which he also followed up with a German Suplex. He bridged it, hoping it would get him the victory but Edo kicked out at two. Edo caught Kenji off guard by quickly getting up and nailing an enziguri out of nowhere. Edo then hopped up to the top rope, and flew off with the Blaze of Glory. Kenji was lying on the mat when he took off, but when he came down Kenji was no longer there, so Edo ate canvas. Kenji then waited for Edo to get up, and when he did he nailed him with the Superstar Kick! Edo flipped over backwards from the impact, and Kenji dragged him to the middle of the ring and went for the cover. He got the 3 and the victory to retain his belt. [b]Winner:[/b] Kenji Fukamura by pinfall in 9:37. Kenji Fukamura makes defence number 4 of his Burning Pacific Championship. [b]B[/b] [I]- Fantastic match between these two. Not chemistry notes, just awesome skills and decent popularity [/I] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Main Event:[/b] Dayu Ichihara vs. Hitoshi Higa[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/DayuIchihara.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/hitoshihiga.jpg[/IMG] When these two locked up, Higa managed to surprise the veteran with his intensity, as he flung Ichihara overhead with back drop suplex, driving Dayu’s head into the mat. He grabbed his head, but didn’t have time to recover as Higa pulled him right back up and whipped him across the ring. When Dayu came back, Higa went for a back elbow, but Dayu ducked it and showed some of his own intensity with a German Suplex, which sent Higa flying, he landed on his neck and he grabbed it, clearly in pain. Dayu posed and picked up Higa. He then whipped him across the ring and into the corner. Higa bounced out of the corner, but ducked a clothesline attempt by Dayu. Higa then attempted to quickly hit the Higa Hammerlock Suplex, but Dayu reversed it in time, and kneed Higa viciously in the gut over five times. Higa collapsed to the mat in pain, while Dayu simply shook his head as if to say “That won’t get you success in this company boy.” Dayu began to stomp away madly at Higa, before picking him back up. Dayu then drove his knee into Higa’s gut one more time, before flipping him over with a gutwrench suplex. Dayu then went over to Higa and dropped his knee into the sternum of Higa before making a cover. He got a solid two count before Higa kicked out. Dayu then dragged Higa back up to his feet, and whipped him across the ring. When Higa came back, Dayu went for a belly-to-belly suplex, but Higa stood firm and countered the move, nailing Dayu with a spinning belly to belly of his own. Higa went for a cover, but barely got a 1 count before Dayu kicked out. Higa then attempted to lock in a headlock, but Dayu quickly escaped the hold and locked in a bow and arrow lock on Higa. He seemed to nearly break Higa in half. Higa flailed madly, trying to grab a hold of the ropes, but he was in the wrong position to do so. He eventually managed to elbow Dayu in the ribs a few times, forcing him to release the hold, allowing Higa to roll off of his knees and recover. Higa quickly capitalised however, not using all of his time to recover, and instead picked up Dayu and whipped him into the corner. He went to chop Dayu across the chest, but Dayu reversed it and put Higa in his place. He then chopped away madly at Higa’s chest, with the crowd chanting along, despite their hate for Dayu. Dayu hit Higa for the 15th time before he backed away, allowing Higa to fall to the mat. Dayu then dragged Higa into the centre of the ring and locked him in a headlock, constantly applying pressure to him to make sure he understood what it was like to be in the main event. Higa struggled, but eventually managed to overpower Dayu and stood up while still in the headlock. He then spun around and caught Dayu off guard once again by dropping Dayu to the canvas with a back suplex. Dayu got up to his feet quickly, and Higa charged towards him, but was met by a sharp elbow to the gut. Dayu then stood up quickly, and put Higa in the position for a powerbomb. Higa fought it however, and flipped Dayu over before he could lift him up. Higa then waited for Dayu to get up once again, and when he did, Higa booted Dayu in the gut and nailed him with a snap suplex. He then got straight back up and once again waited for Dayu to stand up. When Dayu did, Higa tried the same tactic, but Dayu caught his foot before Higa could kick him in the stomach, and used it to push Higa to the mat. Dayu then stomped away at the back of Higa’s knee several times, causing Higa great pain. Dayu then locked in an ankle lock, but he didn’t apply full pressure, as he was toying with Higa, wanting him to suffer and to learn what it is really like to be in a match with him. Higa managed to reach the ropes, but Dayu didn’t care, he just yanked Higa away from them and pulled him into the middle of the ring again. Dayu then dropped his knee once more into the back of Higa’s knee, and applied a leg lock. He applied pressure by bending the leg of Higa back, causing Higa a great amount of pain. Dayu laughed as Higa desperately tried to reach the ropes. Dayu released the hold and let Higa get up. Dayu then charged a weakened Higa and clipped him in the back of the knee with a chop block. Higa dropped to one knee, so Dayu followed up with another chop block. Dayu waited for Higa to get up once more. When Higa did, and turned to face Dayu, Dayu whipped him into the corner with all his power. The impact in the corner sent Higa to the mat, groaning in pain while grabbing his back. Dayu picked up Higa and whipped him in the same fashion into the corner on the other side of the ring. Higa only staggered out of the corner this time, but Dayu decimated Higa with an STO. Higa rolled over backwards from the impact, which made Dayu smile and signal for the end. Dayu pulled Higa to his feet, and booted him in the gut. He then lifted Higa high into the air, posing sometimes for the crowd, before driving Higa into the mat with a modified Michinoku (probably wouldn’t be named that but whatever lol) Driver, which Ichihara calls the Ichihara Power Drive. Higa was folded up like an accordion, and Dayu made the cover by hooking the leg. The referee slapped the mat. 1… 2… 3 Dayu got the impressive victory, dominating a man who usually dominates his opponents. [b]Winner:[/b] Dayu Ichihara by pinfall in 18:30 [b]B-[/b] [i]- Poor Main event, as the two didn’t seem to click. I’m beginning to wonder if Ichihara doesn’t like the Main Event and is purposefully not clicking with people he should get good ratings with. [/i] ____________________________________________ [b]Overall:[/b] B- [b]Notes:[/b] Another B- show, probably would have been a B if the main event was better. I’m really beginning to hate chemistry now, as all of the good chemistry is in the undercard, with people who don’t need it (Kiriyama/Kumasaka is an example from this card), while people who do need it don’t click at all (Ichihara/Kitozon is the most famous example.) SadisticBlessings gets 6/7, so he can choose an uppercard match, while Midnightnick gets 3/7, so you can choose a midcard match. The prediction prizes will work differently now. I will not consider both cards to be different; I will instead count all of your predictions as one. So you would need to get 12/12 (usually) to get the chance of a main event, 8,9 or 10/12 to get an uppercard, 6 or 7/12 to get midcard, and anything below gets an undercard choice. These choices will be valid for either the Wednesday show or the Saturday show, you must provide your choice of which card in the pm you send me. ____________________________________________ [/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadisticBlessings Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 I'm excited for the next couple shows, as they definitely give the impression of cards that could break the usual pattern of B- shows! In response to your question, I thought the Valmont - Kuno match was a very good approximation for a scripted, but still slightly spotty, super junior style contest :D Thursday [b]Kiba Izumi[/b] vs. Alexander Tomov [i]Tomov is really, really talented, but also pretty much unknown in Japan. He'll probably be around for a while though, and I could see this being a good pairing for the future.[/i] [b]Eiji Kiriyama[/b] vs. Satoru Sugimura [i]An Eiji Kiriyama mini-push? Could it be?[/i] [b]Stunner Okazawaya[/b] vs. Black Manta [i]No way stunner loses his streak before Sword of Destiny.[/i] [b]Paul Kingsley[/b] vs. Akahashi Kuno [i]I'm a big fan of Kuno thus far, but Kingsley is bigger, more popular, and of higher priority in the current scheme of things.[/i] [b]Kenji Fukamura[/b] vs. Hitoshi Higa - Non-title [i]Higa lost to Yukata in the semi-finals, and Fukamura was able to beat Yukata; Higa also likely lost a good bit of momentum when he lost to Ichihara.[/i] Toshiro Saito vs. [b]Dayu Ichihara[/b] [i]Very tough match to call, as Ichihara hasn't been able to deliver thus far with anyone except Yamanaka despite being the second best worker on the roster. I'm actually inclined to think Saito will win this one, as he's a more likely challenger at this point to Kitozon than Ichihara, but I'll go with Ichihara because I don't wanna keep booking all the main events :D [/i] Saturday [b]Atsushi Nagamichi[/b] vs. Black Manta [i]Finally, a match Nagamichi can win. Unless Manta's overness has increased a whole lot, I think Atsushi is the more popular - and more talented - of the two, so I think he's taking this one.[/i] [b]Kazuo Mitsushi[/b] vs. Akahashi Kuno [i]Interesting match, as Kuno is actually likely more popular than Mitsushi is. Kazuo could use some popularity bumps, so I'm thinking this is a step in his long-term rise. Regardless, this is the toughest match to call on the Saturday card.[/i] [b]Noriyoshi Sanada[/b] vs. Satoru Sugimura [i]I bet against Noriyoshi once already and lost out because of it, I won't make that mistake again![/i] [b]Tasuku Nandaba[/b] vs. Byron Valmont [i]No question. Nandaba will probably swat him like a fly.[/i] [b]Seison Yamanaka[/b] vs. DEMON Yukata [i]After a surprising B+ rating last week, it'll be cool to see how these matches go down. Yukata may well surprise us all with the rating he manages here, but I can't see him picking up the win.[/i] [b]Master Kitozon[/b] vs. Onishiki [i]Again, if chemistry happens, this could be a surprisingly good matchup from Onishiki - maybe even an A rating. If chemistry doesn't happen, it could turn out to be the second coming of Ichihara vs Higa... but I'll hope for the best[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnightnick Posted June 9, 2007 Share Posted June 9, 2007 It's worth a shot to predict again, but now with my opinions! Thursday Kiba Izumi vs. [B]Alexander Tomov[/B] I can see Tomov pulling an upset. He's talented, but has he been used yet? Eiji Kiriyama vs. [B]Satoru Sugimura[/B] I just don't see Sugimura losing to Eiji. [B]Stunner Okazawaya[/B] vs. Black Manta The streak won't be over yet. [B]Paul Kingsley[/B] vs. Akahashi Kuno 100 Proof will be 100% Victorious. Kenji Fukamura vs. [B]Hitoshi Higa[/B] - Non-title The rule of Non-Title matches, is the champion usually loses. Toshiro Saito vs. [B]Dayu Ichihara[/B] There's no rhyme or reason for Ichihara to lose this. Saturday Atsushi Nagamichi vs. [B]Black Manta[/B] Black Manta needs the momentum from the loss of the previous card. Kazuo Mitsushi vs. [B]Akahashi Kuno[/B] It was hard choosing this one, but I'm going to give it to Kuno, but it could easily be the other way. [B]Noriyoshi Sanada[/B] vs. Satoru Sugimura He's Undefeated. [B]Tasuku Nandaba[/B] vs. Byron Valmont Even though I chose this match, and love Byron. There's no chance in hell of him winning. Seison Yamanaka vs. [B]DEMON Yukata[/B] DEMON has been amazing so far, so him winning can be seen to me. [B]Master Kitozon[/B] vs. Onishiki Kitozon could never lose to someone like Onishiki.

Gremlinator Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 [CENTER][i]Results for Thursday show will probably be up in the next three hours, and yeah, this post may suck in terms of write-up, but right now I don't really have anything to write about for these guys.[/i] [img]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/BHOTWG.jpg[/img] [U]BHOTWG MVP of the Month[/U] [U]Connor Thompson[/U] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/connorthompson.jpg[/IMG] [B]Age:[/B] 50 [b]Title History:[/b] None [b]Match History:[/b] 3-0-1 [b]Average Match Rating:[/b] B+ Connor Thompson has been one of the most consistent workers for BHOTWG over recent weeks, having participated in four B+ matches, the only matches he has had since the Booker Shift. He hasn't shown any anger towards losing his job at all, which has garnered him a lot of respect from the new head booker. Connor has been in one of the highest rated BHOTWG Title defences in recent memory, and this made the fans love him even more than they did before. He has constantly been on the tail of Master Kitozon, hoping to nab another shot at the belt. However, he has yet to get another shot, but that may be about to change, as we are one week away from the monthly #1 Contenders Match between some of the finest workers in BHOTWG today. Over the next two shows, he is not scheduled to appear, but we have been told he is hard at work training, despite his advanced age, as is very eager to get another shot at Master Kitozon.

When they locked up, it was Izumi who caught Tomov off guard with an arm bar. Tomov dropped to his knees, and Izumi desperately tried to force Tomov to the ground, but Tomov wouldn’t have it, as he stood up and punched Izumi twice in the gut, before pulling him into a short-arm clothesline. Tomov then rolled Izumi over to his front and locked in an arm bar, giving Izumi a taste of his own medicine. Izumi struggled and flailed out of pain, and eventually managed to force his way over to the ropes, forcing Tomov to break the hold. But Tomov kept the hold on for 4 seconds before breaking it, possibly badly damaging Izumi in the process. Izumi used the ropes to pull himself up to his feet, and was met with a chop to the chest by Tomov. Tomov then whipped Izumi across the ring, and tripped him up with a drop toehold when he came back. Izumi grabbed his nose in pain, allowing Tomov to shift around Izumi and lock in another arm bar. Izumi once again struggled, and once again managed to get to the ropes in time. This time Tomov broke the hold right away, getting a few boos from the crowd for doing so. Tomov then dragged a damaged Izumi to the center of the ring, before attempting to lock in a Boston Crab. Izumi manoeuvred out of it and pulled Tomov to the floor, locking in a tight knee lock, constantly pulling the lower leg round to apply pressure. Izumi then stood up after a while, and kept hold of Tomov’s leg. He then lifted him up into the air and dropped him like he was nothing back on his knee. Tomov rolled around in pain, and Izumi just seemed to smile. Izumi then tried to lock in the Feral Ankle Lock, but Tomov scrambled away and grabbed a hold of the ropes. Tomov stood up and circled Izumi. Both men locked up once more, with Izumi once again getting the control. He locked in an arm bar, and then forced Tomov to the mat with an STO. He kept hold of Tomov’s arm, and locked in a Crowbar. Izumi kept the hold in tight, but Tomov was eventually able to shimmy his way over to the ropes, therefore forcing Izumi to break it. But Izumi decided to pay Tomov back for the time he refused to let go, and released the arm bar, but quickly locked in a Figure Four Leg Lock. Tomov screamed out in pain, but due to being under the ropes, Izumi had until 5 to release the hold. He released it at 4 and a ½, and then dragged Tomov back to the center of the ring. Tomov staggered to his feet, and was brought down to one knee with a Chop Block. Izumi took him down to the mat with a second chop block. Tomov rolled around in pain, holding his knee. Izumi stomped away at his ankle, before locking in the Feral Ankle Lock! Tomov screamed in pain and tried to reach the ropes, but he was in the middle of the ring. He fought for a little while longer, but in the end he had to tap out. Izumi kept the hold locked in for several seconds before releasing it, with the damaged done. [b]Winner:[/b] Kiba Izumi by submission in 9:47 [b]B-[/b] – [i] Really good match between an upper midcarder and an enhancement talent. No chemistry notes either.[/i] _______________________________________________ [B][U]Match 2:[/b] Eiji Kiriyama vs. Satoru Sugimura[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/eijikiriyama.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/satorusugimura.jpg[/IMG] Eiji was looking more bad-ass than ever here tonight, seemingly ****y about his decimating victory over Danger Kumasaka last week. Satoru looked as bleak as usual, although…you can’t really see that much under a mask. When they locked up, it was Eiji who took the lead, punching Satoru a couple of times in the gut to solidify his control of the match. Satoru staggered back, having had the breath knocked out of him. Eiji charged at him and drove his knee into Satoru’s chest, before locking him in a belly to belly position. He then heaved Satoru over with a good Belly-to-belly suplex, sending Satoru crashing down to the mat. Satoru was clearly dazed, so Eiji just charged towards him again. Eiji dropped his knee across the face of Satoru three times. Satoru grabbed his face out of pain, allowing Eiji to grab hold of his head and pull him up to his feet. Eiji kneed him one more time in the gut before whipping him into the corner. Satoru hit the turnbuckles hard. Eiji then went to the opposite corner and charged to build up momentum. He leapt into the air to nail Satoru with a knee to the face, but Satoru rolled out of the way, sending Eiji clean over the corner post and to the outside. Eiji crash landed, and the ref instantly ran to check on him. Satoru went to the outside and began to stomp away at Eiji before rolling him back into the ring. Satoru laid into him again with boots to the stomach before he ran to the ropes. When Satoru came back he dropped his elbow across the face of Eiji, before running back to the ropes. This time, when he came back, he drilled his knee into the face of Eiji, sending Eiji flopping around the canvas in pain. Satoru picked Eiji up and whipped him across the ring into the ropes. When Eiji came back, Satoru leapt into the air and spun around Eiji, bringing him down with a Sleeper Slam, which Satoru calls the Dark Night. Satoru went for the cover, but Eiji kicked out almost right away, surprising Satoru quite a lot, let alone the announce team and the fans. Eiji then stood up while Satoru looked at the referee in despair. Satoru turned his attention back to Eiji, but his face was turned back towards the referee by a punch from Eiji. Eiji pulled Satoru back up and whipped him across the ring. When Satoru came back, Eiji sent him flying with a Judo Throw. Eiji then waited for Satoru to get back up, and when he did, he charged towards him and leapt into the air, connecting with a knee to the temple. Satoru flipped over the top rope and crashed to the floor from the impact, eliciting a gasp from the fans. Eiji had the same old smirk on his face at this point. He followed Satoru outside and began to punch him in the back of the head before picking him up and rolling him into the ring forcefully. Eiji then climbed onto the apron, and waited for Satoru to get up. When Satoru walked over to Eiji after getting up fairly quickly, Eiji connected with a devastating punch to the jaw, which sent Satoru crumbling to the match. Eiji then climbed into the ring and pulled Satoru up to his feet. Satoru was barely conscious, which prompted Eiji to slap him across the face. Eiji then unleashed a Merciless Barrage, and after 6 or 7 shots, Satoru crumpled to the mat. The referee checked on him, and announced the match over, due to knockout. Eiji got his second knockout victory in a row. [b]Winner:[/b] Eiji Kiriyama by Knockout in 8:03 [b]C+[/b] [i]- Pretty good match.[/i] _______________________________________________ [B][U]Match 3:[/b] Stunner Okazawaya vs. Black Manta[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/StunnerOkazawaya.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/blackmanta.jpg[/IMG] When they locked up, it was Stunner who got control with an arm wringer, before using it to flip Black Manta over onto the mat. Stunner then locked in a grounded hammerlock on Manta, before doing a headstand mid-move, and then drove his knee into the elbow of Manta. Manta instantly pulled his arm back around and held it in pain. Stunner dragged Manta up to his feet and whipped him across the ring with all of his strength. When Manta came back, Stunner sent him overhead with a back body drop. Manta crashed to the mat and held his back in pain. Stunner went for a cover, but only got a 2 count before Manta kicked out. Stunner pulled him up to his feet, before sending him back to the mat with a quick snap suplex. Manta bounced off of the mat, and was caught off guard by the agility of Stunner when Stunner shifted around him and locked in a knee lock. Manta struggled to get free, but eventually managed to hop on his behind all the way to the ropes. Stunner then stood up and pulled him back to the middle of the ring. He attempted to lock in the knee lock again, but Manta shoved him away with his feet. Manta then sprung to his feet and charged at Stunner. However, his knee gave way and he fell straight into a clothesline from Stunner. Stunner pulled Manta up to his feet, before kicking him in the gut. Manta doubled over, allowing Stunner to put his head under his arm and then drilled him back down to the mat with a vicious looking DDT. Manta flipped over from the impact, and Stunner went for the cover. Manta once again kicked out at two, showing his determination. Stunner then picked up Manta again before whipping him into the corner. Stunner charged, but Manta came back with a back elbow right to the jaw. Stunner dropped to the mat, and Manta climbed the turnbuckle. Stunner staggered to his feet and began to rub his jaw. Manta flew off of the second rope with a missile dropkick. Stunner flipped over backwards from the impact, and Manta quickly scurried over to him to make the cover. Stunner kicked out after a solid two count. Manta pulled him up to his feet and kicked him in the gut. Manta then turned Stunner over and went for a neckbreaker. Stunner managed to reverse it and dropped Manta with a neckbreaker instead! Stunner then stood up and waited for Manta to get back up. When Manta managed to make it up to his feet, Stunner charged and knocked him back down with a clothesline. Stunner then dropped his elbow into Manta’s sternum once, and after a little taunting to Manta, Stunner dropped his elbow a second time into Manta’s sternum. Manta grabbed his chest in pain, while Stunner went over to the corner and waited. Manta eventually made his way to his feet, and saw Stunner charging towards him with a clothesline in mind. Manta ducked it, and caught Stunner by surprise with a dropkick to the back of the head. Stunner dropped to the mat, but instantly turned around and stared at Manta in shock. Manta smiled and gestured for Stunner to try again. Stunner got up and went for a clothesline, and guessed correctly that Manta would duck it again, and once Manta did, Stunner nailed him in the back of the head with an elbow when he stood upright. This dazed Manta long enough for Stunner to pull him back up to his feet. Manta came to when he was standing up, but Stunner brought an end to that again when he booted him in the gut and drilled him with the Okazawaya Stunner. He made the cover and it was pretty academic from there. [b]Winner:[/b] Stunner Okazawaya by pinfall in 13:30 [b]C+[/b] – [i]Pretty good match, slightly better than I would have suspected.[/i] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Match 4:[/b] Paul Kingsley vs. Akahashi Kuno[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/paulkingsley.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/akahashikuno.jpg[/IMG] There is an obvious difference here between these two. Paul Kinglsey is a heavyweight wrestler who is renowned for his devastating punches, and used to have one of the most feared left hook in all of wrestling. However, Akahashi Kuno is a lightweight worker who is well known for his all round skill, and his ability to fly with some of the best. Most of the fans were cheering for Kuno to pull off an upset, and Paul was willing to crush their hopes in the way he knew best, beat Kuno to a bloody pulp. When they locked up, it was Kingsley who gained the control, as one would suspect. He drove his knee deep into Kuno’s gut, before battering him in the back with a clubbing blow. Kuno bended from the pressure and collapsed to the mat, grabbing his back and trying to regain the breath that was knocked out of him. Kingsley picked him back up and whipped Kuno across the ring. Kingsley ran across the other side of the ring and came back to meet Kuno head on. He nearly decapitated Kuno with a vicious running clothesline. Kuno flipped over backwards and landed on his neck due to the impact. Kingsley simply kicked Kuno over onto his back and stood on his chest, as he was incredibly confident that he would be getting the victory. 1… 2… NO!!! Kuno got the shoulder up, and slapped away the foot of Kingsley! Kingsley stared in shock at Kuno, who shot up from his prone position and began to kick and punch away at Paul. The comeback was short lived however, as Kuno was knocked right back down to the mat with a boot to the face. Kingsley yelled something at Kuno before picking him up, and whipped him into the corner. Kuno saw Kingsley charge towards him, setting up for a splash, but Kuno flipped over the ropes, showing his athleticism and causing Kingsley to crash into the corner. He began to stagger back, and Kuno flipped back into the ring. Kuno ran towards Kingsley, and ducked a clothesline attempt. He then kicked away at the knees of Paul, bringing him down to one of them. Kuno then ran towards the ropes and kicked Paul in the back of the head when he returned, sending the big man down to the mat. Kuno then kept the big man down with a vicious looking knee lock, constantly applying pressure to the old bones of Kingsley. Paul struggled to break the lock, as any attempt to simply power out of the hold, just made Kuno lock it in tighter. Eventually Kingsley endured the pain and rolled over, pinning Kuno under his leg. Kuno released the hold and rolled away, before getting up and charging at Kingsley, eager to not let him gain momentum. Kingsley was ready for him however, as he shot up to both his feet and sent Kuno flying with a huge clothesline. Kingsley once again went for the c0cky cover, but when Kuno kicked out, Paul simply stood on his face and rubbed his boot in it. Paul dragged Kuno up to his feet and booted him in the gut. He then showed just how powerful he really is by throwing Kuno over like a rag doll with a gut wrench suplex. Paul picked up the ailing Kuno and whipped him into the corner. Kuno tried the same evasion as he did before, but Paul was expecting it, and kicked Kuno off of the apron, sending him crashing down to the outside. Kingsley went to the outside and threw Kuno back into the ring. He then pulled a dazed Kuno to his feet and ended the suffering with a devastating Bottle-Neck Breaker. Kingsley made the cover and got the pinfall. [b]Winner:[/b] Paul Kingsley by pinfall in 9:50 [b]B-[/b] [i]- Pretty decent, though not as good as I would have suspected..[/i] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Match 5:[/b] Kenji Fukamura vs. Hitoshi Higa Non-Title [/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/kenjifukamura.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/hitoshihiga.jpg[/IMG] There is a slight history between these two, in that both men were part of the Pacific Title tournament, which obviously ended in victory for Kenji. Kenji defeated Hitoshi Higa in semi-finals, something which Higa can definitely not forgive him for doing. Kenji doesn’t really care, and all he wants to do is prove that that victory was not a fluke, and that Higa isn’t really as good as him. Higa just wanted the opposite, to prove the victory was a fluke, and that Higa is clearly the better man in this match. Both men had to be separated by the referee before they butted heads, but was soon as the bell was rung both began to swing wildly at each other. Kenji swung his right fist which connected with Higa’s chin, but Higa came back with a right of his own which connected right with Kenji’s cheek. Kenji staggered back, but managed to duck another punch and nailed Higa in the stomach. The much taller Higa doubled over, allowing Kenji to attempt a suplex. Higa was too heavy to lift however, and Higa countered the move easily with a sickening double axe handle to the back. Kenji instantly dropped to the mat, only to be picked up again by Higa, who whipped him into the ropes. When Kenji came back, Higa lifted him high into the air, before dropping him to the mat with a press slam. Kenji grabbed his back in pain, but Higa didn’t care, he lifted him up again and whipped Kenji into the corner, using all of his strength. Kenji dropped right to the mat the second he connected with the turnbuckles, and again grabbed his back. Higa dragged Kenji to the middle of the ring and made the cover, but Kenji showed his determination like so many others have before him by kicking out. Higa just saw this as a chance to beat him up some more, as he picked Kenji up and lifted him high above his head. Higa then walked towards the corner, before throwing Kenji into it. Kenji dropped to the second turnbuckle, and suffered a boot to the face because of it. Kenji rolled to the outside, causing Higa to follow him out. Higa picked up a battered Kenji and rolled him back into the ring, wanting to win the match by pinfall, not count out. Higa went for the cover, but Kenji kicked out once more. Higa then picked up Kenji and booted him in the gut. Higa showed off his power once again by tossing Kenji overhead with minimal effort with an Exploder Suplex. Higa followed this up with a cover, but Kenji landed near the ropes, so he put his foot on the bottom rope before the 3 count. Higa just got more and more angry with each failed pinfall attempt, and began to stomp away at Kenji. Higa then began to argue with the referee for making a ‘slow count’. Kenji used this time to climb to the top rope. He shot off and nailed Higa in the side of the head with a missile dropkick. Higa began to stagger, but was not off of his feet. Kenji ran to the ropes and came back with a clothesline attempt, but Higa sent him head over heels with a clothesline. Higa then lifted Kenji up and went for the Higa Hammerlock Suplex, but Kenji somehow managed to land on his feet! Higa turned around and was met in the temple by a huge leaping roundhouse kick! Higa dropped to one knee, but would not go down without a fight, as he began to punch Kenji in the ribs. Kenji worked through the pain and ran across the ring. He came back with a basement dropkick right to the face of Higa, but Higa only dropped to his behind, rather than fall on his back. Higa then began to make his way to his feet, so Kenji charged at him and dropkicked the back of his knee. Higa grabbed his knee and yelled out in pain as he collapsed to the mat. Kenji then saw this as his chance and waited for Higa to make his way up to his feet. Higa got up to one knee, and then was getting up to his feet when Kenji charged him and nailed him with the Superstar Kick! Higa staggered once again, proving it would take a lot more to bring him down. Kenji then bounced off of the ropes, and Higa attempted a clothesline to stop him, but Kenji ducked it and came off the other ropes. Higa went for a clothesline again, but once again, Kenji ducked. Kenji then took Higa by complete surprise with another Superstar Kick! Kenji had built up a lot of momentum and was able to send Higa to the mat! Kenji collapsed on top of him out of exhaustion as the referee made the cover. 1… 2… 3! Kenji had overcome another obstacle, and proved his previous win was not a fluke at all. [b]Winner:[/b] Kenji Fukamura by pinfall in 19:18 [b]C+[/b] [I]- Really disappointing match, maybe I exposed Higa a bit too much due to the match length, but I told the agents to protect him..[/I] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Main Event:[/b] Toshiro Saito vs. Dayu Ichihara[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/toshirosaito.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/DayuIchihara.jpg[/IMG] Both of these men were really determined to take away the victory here tonight. Dayu was eager to get back in the title picture after suffering some recent defeats, and wanted to prove himself worthy of being part of the #1 Contendership match next week. Saito on the other hand just wanted to prove why he is one of the most feared competitors on the roster today. Toshiro simply saw Dayu as a speed bump on the road of his career, while Dayu saw Saito as a behemoth to be brought down and defeated. Clearly both men would not go down easy, and neither would allow defeat. Both men started off the match with a head-to-head staredown, although it was more like a head-to-neck staredown, as Saito looked down on a fairly smaller Dayu. Both backed away and began to circle each other. They shared one last staredown before charging into the collar and elbow tie-up. After a very brief struggle, it was Saito who emerged with the control, bringing Dayu overhead with a northern lights suplex. Saito then stood up and waited for Dayu to get up. Toshiro went for a clothesline, but Dayu was able to roll underneath it due to being smaller. Dayu then began to punch away at the back of Toshiro, but Toshiro showed absolutely no effect to being punched, and levelled Dayu with a punch of his own. Saito then pulled Dayu up to his feet and whipped him into the corner. Toshiro charged in and squashed Dayu with a huge splash, before beginning to deliver knees right into the gut of Dayu. Dayu collapsed down to the mat out of breath, but Saito was relentless in his assault and picked Dayu back up. Saito placed him in the corner, before using all of his immense power to whip Dayu across the ring into the opposite corner. Saito then followed this up with another splash, causing Dayu to walk out of the corner, and then to drop to the mat. Saito picked Dayu back up and booted him in the gut. Saito lifted Dayu clear into the air and dropped him to the mat with a vertical suplex. Saito followed this up with a cover, but Dayu managed to find the strength to kick out. He rolled away from Toshiro, but Saito was not about to let him get away, and picked him up. Toshiro tried to go for another vertical suplex, but Dayu punched Saito several times in the gut to stop him. Saito staggered back, and this was all Dayu needed, as Dayu began to unleash as series of clotheslines on Saito. The first one rocked him, the second one also rocked him, but the third knocked him to the mat. Dayu then took advantage of this opportunity and dragged Saito to the middle of the ring while he was dazed. Dayu quickly locked in a Boston Crab on the big man, causing him a lot of pain. Dayu then showed how intent he was on destroying Saito when he sat down on his back, while also applying a lot of pressure in the hold, causing Saito an immense amount of pain. Saito eventually managed to claw his way to the ropes, and forced Dayu to break the hold when he used the ropes to pull himself up. Dayu staggered back, not wanting Saito to regain his momentum, and charged at Saito while he leant on the ropes. Saito simply grabbed him by the throat however, and threw him over the top rope in an amazing feat of strength, sending Dayu crashing to the outside. Saito followed him out and began to stomp away at his back. Dayu was playing dead after recovering for a little while in order to fool Saito. Saito picked him up and rolled him back into the ring. Dayu shot up afterwards and caught Saito by surprise as Saito climbed onto the apron. Dayu dropped Saito’s neck across the top rope, before showing his own amount of strength by suplexing the big man into the ring. Saito hit the mat with a thud that shook the ring. Dayu then locked in another submission, this time it was a kneelock. Dayu hoped this would stop Saito from powering out, but Saito proved why he used to be called POWER Saito when he rolled over and picked up Dayu while he stood up. Saito pulled Dayu close to his face and then head butted him. Dayu staggered into the ropes, but tried to take down Saito with a clothesline. Saito just staggered back from the clothesline, and came back with his own version, sending Dayu straight down to the mat. Saito picked up Dayu and kneed him in the gut. Toshiro then scurried around the back of Dayu, a surprising feat for a man of Saito’s size, and went for a full-nelson. Dayu tried to fight it, but that wasn’t the move that Saito was aiming for, as he flipped Dayu over with a huge Tiger Suplex, which sent Dayu a full 6 feet into the air. Saito followed this up pinfall attempt, but Dayu kicked out once more, which only served to enrage Toshiro. Dayu slowly made his way up to his feet and stared at Saito, who was seemingly in a fit of rage across the ring, or that’s at least what it looked like. Saito charged towards Dayu, but Dayu tried to take him down with a drop toehold, Saito wouldn’t go down easily, as he put up a fight, He eventually went down, but grabbed hold of the ropes, due to being near them. Saito used these to pull himself back up as Dayu couldn’t believe that that hadn’t taken Toshiro down. Saito then pointed at Dayu and slit his throat, which seemed to strike fear into Dayu, as Dayu quickly clambered up to his feet and he backed into the corner. Saito then charged at him and nailed him with a clothesline. Saito pulled him back out of the corner and drove his knee into the gut of Dayu. He then hoisted Dayu up into the air for a vertical suplex, but he twisted Dayu round, hooked his right leg, and stared him right in the face, as he usually does as a set-up for the Saito-Plex. Saito then smirked before driving Dayu into the mat with the Saito-Plex. He kept leg hooked and made the cover, getting the convincing victory. [b]Winner:[/b] Toshiro Saito by pinfall in 18:29 [b]B[/b] [i]- Not as good as I would have hoped, but still pretty decent considering Dayu’s recent performances. [/i] ____________________________________________ [b]Overall:[/b] B- [b]Notes:[/b] Another B- show, let down again by the main event. The predictions tally so far is 5/12, and Midnightnick 2/12. ____________________________________________ [/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atsushi has commonly been seen as the partner of Kenji Fukamura, but with that team seemingly on the backburner, he has a chance to prove his worth in singles competition. Black Manta was looking for a victory just to prove that he can be victorious. He wanted to show why BHOTWG signed him before, and why he was brought back by the new management. When they locked up, it was Atsushi who took control first after a very brief struggle. He booted Manta in the gut, causing him to double over. Atsushi then lifted his own arm up into the air, before drilling Manta in the back of the neck with an elbow. Manta didn’t go down, so Atsushi drove his elbow into his neck again, causing Manta to drop to one knee. Atsushi took this as his cue and ran towards the ropes. Manta tried to turn around quickly and decimate Nagamichi, but Atsushi showed his athleticism by flipping over a clothesline attempt. Manta turned his focus back on Atsushi, only to be met with a stiff dropkick right to the face. He collapsed backwards onto the mat, and Atsushi scurried over to make a pinfall attempt. He got a solid two count before Manta kicked out. He then picked Manta back up to his feet and booted him in the gut once again. He then shoved Manta’s head under his arm and flipped him overhead with a nice snap suplex. Atsushi followed this up with a couple of stomps to Manta’s chest, before dropping his elbow across his chest. Atsushi went for a second elbow, but Manta managed to roll out of the way. Atsushi grabbed his elbow in pain as Manta got up. Manta quickly charged at Atsushi, and hit him with an elbow drop of his own. Manta then picked him up and whipped him across the ring. He dropped Atsushi back down to the mat with a back elbow, connecting with his jaw. Manta then followed this up with another elbow drop, right across the upper chest. Manta then stood up and began to stomp away at Atsushi, intent on keeping him down and out. Manta picked up Atsushi after a couple more boots and whipped him into the corner. Manta charged across the ring and flew into the air to hit a Splash, but he hit nothing but turnbuckles when he came down as Atsushi had moved out of the way. Atsushi rolled him up and went for the cover, but only got a 2 count. Manta shot up to his feet and went for a clothesline, which connected with Atsushi’s head. Manta picked Atsushi up and went for a suplex, but he countered with a couple of clubbing blows to back. Manta released him and grabbed hold of his back, allowing Atsushi to back off and recover. Atsushi then ran and nailed Manta with a clothesline of his own, taking Manta clear off of his feet. Atsushi went to the corner and waited for Manta to get up. When Manta eventually struggled up to both feet, Atsushi clenched his hands together and charged across the ring. He spun once while running, and levelled Manta with a vicious Sensational Hammer. Manta hit the mat hard, and Atsushi went for the cover, getting the academic cover and proving his worth. [b]Winner:[/b] Atsushi Nagamichi by pinfall in 10:24 [b]C-[/b] – [i] Pretty good match, with Manta learning some new moves from Atsushi.[/i] _______________________________________________ [B][U]Match 2:[/b] Kazuo Mitsushi vs. Akahashi Kuno[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/kazuomitsushi.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/akahashikuno.jpg[/IMG] When these two locked up, Mitsushi used his superior size to get control with apparent ease. Kuno tried to get control back from him, but when he tried to go for an arm wringer, Kazuo easily reversed it and brought Kuno in to a clothesline. Kuno hit the mat hard, and Kazuo began to stomp away at his back. Kazuo picked him back up and whipped across the ring. When he came back, Kazuo booted Kuno in the stomach and then used his momentum to flip him over with a devastating suplex. Kuno grabbed his back out of pain, and Kazuo shifted around and went for the cover. He only got a count as Kuno kicked out just in time. Kazuo didn’t care, and lifted Kuno back up to his feet and delivered two sharp elbow shots to the side of Kuno’s head. Kuno began to stagger backwards, and Kazuo went for a big boot after bouncing off of the ropes, but Kuno showed his skills when he ducked the move and then used Kazuo’s momentum against him to throw him to the amt with a dragon screw leg whip. Kazuo bounced off of the mat, and got up quite quickly, staring at Kuno. Kazuo charged at him, causing Kuno to run towards the ropes and to bounce off of them. Kazuo aimed to end Kuno’s momentum with a clothesline, but Kuno ducked it and came back with a dropkick to the back of Kazuo, causing him to drop down to the mat. Kuno then jumped up to the top rope and began to taunt Kazuo. Kazuo eventually made his way to his feet and ran towards Kuno in order to knock him off. Kuno saw this coming however, and leapt over Kazuo with a somersault. He grabbed on to Kazuo on the way down, and flipped him over with a Sunset Flip! The fans cheered loudly when they saw this move, and began to chant Kuno’s name. Kuno could only get a 2 count, but it was clear that he had dazed Kazuo with that move. Kazuo struggled to get to his feet, and when he did, he had trouble staying up. Kuno used this to his advantage and delivered a dropkick to the chest of Kazuo. Kazuo was close to the ropes, and the impact from the dropkick sent him over the top rope and he crashed to the outside. Kuno waited for him to get up to his feet, and when Kazuo was up to one knee, Kuno ran to the ropes opposite the ones near Kazuo. Kuno then ran a full speed back across the ring and flew over the top rope with a senton, crashing down on Kazuo and sending the fans into a frenzy. Kuno was the first up and quickly rolled into the ring. Kazuo eventually got up and rolled into the ring as well. Kuno went for another dropkick, but Kazuo swatted it away, and once Kuno hit the mat, Kazuo grabbed hold of his leg and lifted him into the air, before dropping him back down onto his knee. Kuno grabbed his leg and Kazuo lifted him back up. Kazuo whipped him across the ring, and when he came back, he tried to nail Kuno with the Star Cutter, but Kuno managed to counter just in time and dropped Kazuo with a reverse DDT. Kuno climbed up to the top rope, still favouring his knee. When Kazuo made his way up to his feet, Kuno flew off of the top rope and hit the Glittering Mirage, a flying back kick to the head. He connected right with Kazuo’s jaw and sent him to the mat. Kuno hit the mat and briefly grabbed hold of his knee before moving the make the cover. He got the 3 count as Kazuo was dazed from the kick. Kuno may have gotten the win, but Kazuo showed how devastating he can be, most likely making the locker room take notice. [b]Winner:[/b] Akahashi Kuno by pinfall 12:32 [b]B-[/b] [i]- These two keep impressing.[/i] _______________________________________________ [B][U]Match 3:[/b] Noriyoshi Sanada vs. Satoru Sugimura[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/noriyoshisanada.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/satorusugimura.jpg[/IMG] Both of these men are talented submission workers, with Satoru being a fair amount younger than Sanada, but more talented with submissions than him. Sanada has experience on his side here tonight, as well as good all-round skills. This was, no doubt, going to be a great match for the fans here tonight. When the two locked up, it was clear that Sanada got the control after a few stiff shots to the gut with his fist. Satoru doubled up, and Sanada used this chance to wrench the arm into a hammerlock. Satoru was in clear pain and struggled for a little while, before rolling over to reverse the hold and the locked it in on Sanada himself. Sanada showed his experience when he dropped to one knee, grabbed Satoru’s head and flipped him over with a headlock takedown. He quickly manoeuvred into a headlock as well, but Satoru was able to get out of it pretty quickly. Satoru sprang to his feet and went for a clothesline, but the bigger Sanada dropped down and ducked it, before bringing Satoru down for an arm bar. Satoru used his momentum to his advantage and rolled out of the move. Both men shot to the feet and stared each other down, much to the enjoyment of the fans, who were clapping as much as possible. They circled each other, and once again locked up. After a brief struggle, it was Satoru who had managed to steal the control. He followed up with several knees to the gut and a couple of elbows to the back of Sanada, hoping to take the big man down right away. Satoru ran towards the ropes, and came back with a vicious running knee right to the side of the head. Sanada dropped to the mat after this, allowing Satoru to lock him in a knee lock. Satoru kept twisting the joint, applying pressure every single time. Sanada, who was in a lot of pain, managed to reach the ropes and forced Satoru to break the hold. Satoru stood up and backed away, but once Sanada stood up, Satoru charged at him and tried to take him down with drop toehold, but Sanada jumped over it and came down on Satoru’s ankles, making him yell in pain. Sanada then dragged Satoru back to the middle of the ring and grabbed hold of his left leg. He spun his arm round so the fans knew what he was doing, and promptly locked in a twisting knee lock. Satoru tried to get to the ropes, but was unable to due to the pressure being applied on his knee. Sanada wasn’t just going to do that move though, as he quickly released the knee, surprising Satoru. Sanada then surprised him again by quickly dropping the elbow across the back of Satoru and then locked in a cross face type submission. Satoru struggled even more in this hold, and was desperate to get out of it. He tried to roll away from Sanada, but Sanada rolled with him. Satoru eventually managed to continue rolling until he reached the ropes, and latched on to the bottom one to force Sanada to break the hold. Sanada obliged and back away from Satoru. Once Satoru got to his feet though, Sanada used his own trick against him, and charged in. He flipped Satoru over with a quickly executed belly-to-belly, making Satoru hit the mat with a thud. Sanada then pursued him and quickly locked him into the Sanada Pyramid. Satoru screamed out in pain and desperately reached out for the ropes, but he was out of reach, and when Sanada sat down on his back to keep him from moving, he had no choice but to tap out. [b]Winner:[/b] Noriyoshi Sanada by submission in 13:36 [b]C+[/b] – [i]Not as good as I would have hoped, but still good.[/i] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Match 4:[/b] Tasuku Nandaba vs. Byron Valmont[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/TasukuNandaba.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/byronvalmont.jpg[/IMG] This was definitely going to be a slaughter; Tasuku was looking to impress the fans and management at the same time. Byron was over two weight classes below Tasuku, and Tasuku has one of the most feared punches around the world, still unbeaten in an exchange of blows….not that Byron doesn’t have anything going for him. He has…uh…..natural heel ability….can impress the fans….and that’s about it really. When these two locked up, it was Tasuku who easily took the control by whipping Byron across the ring. When Byron came back, Tasuku threw Byron high into the air, and then drilled him down with a spinebuster when he came back down. Byron’s head bounced off of the mat, but Tasuku wasn’t done yet. He quickly pulled Byron up to his feet and whipped him strongly into the corner. When Byron staggered out of the corner, Tasuku nailed him with a clothesline! He squashed Byron in the corner, and brought him back to the middle of the ring. Tasuku then whipped Byron across the ring, and levelled him with the Full Swing Lariat, Byron flipped over backwards from the impact, and Tasuku simply stood on his chest to make the cover. The ref made the count, and Tasuku got the easy victory. [b]Winner:[/b] Tasuku Nandaba by pinfall 3:39 [b]B+[/b] [i]- Truly amazing, yet again chemistry appears where I don’t need it, as these two seemed to have great chemistry.[/i] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Match 5:[/b] Seison Yamanaka vs. DEMON Yukata [/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/SeisonYamanaka.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/demonyukata.jpg[/IMG] When these two locked up, it was Seison who managed to get control over Yukata with an arm wringer. He twisted his wrist several times to try and force him to submit already, but Yukata was determined to beat Seison here tonight, and wouldn’t give up so easily. Seison quickly shifted from an arm wringer to a hammerlock, and tried to use the pain it can inflict to bring Yukata down to the ground. Yukata stood firm, once again showing his determination. Seison was desperate to ground Yukata and to take away his advantage, and to give Seison his advantage. Seison kicked away at Yukata’s legs, and eventually he dropped to one knee. Seison then used this to catch Yukata off guard with an STO. Yukata landed square on the back of his head, and Seison quickly rolled him over to make the cover. He only got a two count, but it was clear he was in control. Seison worked on the lower legs of Yukata, stomping away at his knee, taking away his ability to stand up properly. Seison then pulled Yukata to the middle of the ring and began to lock in a knee lock. He twisted the leg constantly, eager to further damage him. Yukata was in pain, and managed to reach the ropes after a lot of struggling. He limped as Seison walked towards him, and desperately went for a clothesline, trying to shift the momentum over to him, but Seison dropkick his knee out from under him, sending him back to the mat. Seison then began to stomp away at his knee again, before lifting his knee up into the air. He constantly drove the knee back into the mat, before sitting down and using his legs to apply a knee lock. Yukata tried to get out of it again, but he was unable to due to the weakness in his legs. Seison kept applying pressure, and it seemed as if Yukata was going to tap out, but Seison wasn’t about to let him give up that easily, and released the hold. Seison quickly shifted to a different hold however, as he quickly locked in the Bow and Arrow Lock, nearly breaking Yukata in half from the pressure. Yukata managed to get out of the hold by elbowing Seison several times in the chest, and rolled off of his knees. Yukata then rolled to the outside to recover, but Seison followed him out and clipped his knee again with a chop block. Yukata dropped down to one knee, but hit the announce table on the way down, nearly knocking himself out in the process. Seison quickly scurried back into the ring while the referee counted to 10. Yukata shook the cobwebs out of his head when he realised he was about to lose by count-out, and limped back into the ring. Seison took him back down to the mat with a drop toehold and once again attempted to apply the knee lock he has used so many times during this match, but Yukata was way too close to the ropes, and easily grabbed hold of the bottom rope to force Seison to release the hold. By now, Seison was getting increasingly frustrated that Yukata was now escaping the moves quite easily, and he regretted letting go of the knee lock earlier. He pulled Yukata up to his feet, and went for a suplex. Yukata somehow managed to reverse it though and suplexed Seison himself. He grabbed hold of his knee afterwards however, showing that that suplex took a lot out of him. Seison managed to recover quickly and was intent on ending the match. He quickly pulled Yukata right to the middle of the ring, and locked in the Red Sun Rising. Yukata screamed out in pain, and constantly tried to escape the hold, but Seison eventually sat down on the hold, forcing Yukata to tap out. Seison go the submission victory, and looked increasingly impressive. Yukata would most likely have come out on top if Seison hadn’t have worked so well on his knee. [b]Winner:[/b] Seison Yamanaka by submission in 19:05 [b]B-[/b] [I]- Disappointing match really, but decent enough[/I] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Main Event:[/b] Master Kitozon vs. Onishiki[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/MasterKitozon.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/onishiki.jpg[/IMG] These two circled each other intently when the ring bell rang. Kitozon seemed to stare a hole right through Onishiki, and the crowd was clearly behind him, as they could all be heard chanting “Ki-to-zon! Ki-to-zon!.” Onishiki tried to get the fans on his side, but instantly got booed incredibly loudly by practically all the fans in attendance. This seemed to slightly upset him, and he charged towards Kitozon, eager to destroy the icon. Kitozon easily moved out of the way though, and slapped Onishiki across the back. The fans cheered and laughed at the same time. Kitozon backed away and looked at Onishiki, who seemed to be full of rage at this moment. Onishiki tried to level Kitozon with a big clothesline, but Kitozon ducked it, and delivered a beautiful kick to the back of Onishiki’s head. Onishiki began to stagger slightly, but eventually turned his attention back to Kitozon who had a slight smile on his face, something that usually doesn’t happen. Onishiki was still eager to wipe that smirk off of his face and charged towards him, trying to take Kitozon down with another clothesline. When it hit Kitozon though, Kitozon just showed no effect of being hit and just stared at Onishiki. He went for the same move, but this time Kitozon wrapped his arms around Onishiki and flipped him overhead with a huge belly to belly suplex, something which is rarely ever seen due to Onishiki’s immense size. Kitozon stood up and stomped on his chest for good measure, before backing away and allowing Onishiki to get back up again. When Onishiki did get back up, he lumbered his was over to Kitozon and proposed they lock up, which the fans agreed upon with their cheers. Kitozon obliged and the two locked up. They went for a classic test of strength first, with Onishiki seeming to get the upper-hand! He drove Kitozon down to his knee, and instantly began to smile and began to taunt Kitozon. This is something he now most likely regrets, as Kitozon shot up from his kneeling position and head butted Onishiki. Onishiki staggered backwards, and Kitozon charged forward with a full head of steam and took Onishiki off his feet with a big clothesline. Kitozon stomped on his chest again, and dropped a big elbow across the back of Onishiki’s head before backing away, seemingly toying with the big man. Onishiki clambered up to his feet once again, and charged towards Kitozon. Kitozon tried to stand firm against him again, but Onishiki didn’t go for a clothesline, he just ran right over him with a body smash. Kitozon dropped down to the mat from the impact, although he managed to get up quickly. Onishiki got his smile back, but that was once again taken away quickly once Kitozon got up to his feet. Kitozon booted him in the gut and whipped Onishiki across the ring. When the big man came back, Kitozon levelled him with a big boot, and dropped the elbow again, before attempting a cover. He barely got a one count, which caused the fans to boo and brought across an expression of surprise across the face of Kitozon. Kitozon then stomped away in slight anger at the chest of Onishiki before pulling the former sumo wrestler up to his feet. Kitozon booted him in the gut, and rushed around him, locking in a full nelson. Onishiki fought it originally, before dropping down to one knee. Kitozon seemed to smile, and pulled Onishiki right up to his feet again, applying more pressure than before. Onishiki showed his fair share of power by managing to break out of the hold, pulling apart Kitozon’s hands with his arms. Kitozon didn’t like where this could be going, and clubbed Onishiki in the back several times, weakening the big man. Kitozon then tried to hoist him over for a Tiger Suplex, but Onishiki stood firm, rooting his feet to the mat. Kitozon then tried to go for a full nelson suplex, but Onishiki resisted this as well. Onishiki moved out of the predicament and began to brawl with Kitozon, gaining the upper hand briefly, managed to bring Kitozon to one knee following an entire barrage of punches. Onishiki wasted time again, and taunted the crowd. Kitozon then unleashed a barrage of punches of his own right into the gut of Onishiki, knocking every last inch of breath out of him. Onishiki staggered back, and Kitozon quickly followed up with a clothesline, bringing the big man down again. Kitozon then tried his hand at making the big man tap, locking in a tight arm bar. Kitozon constantly twisted the arm and kept yanking at the joint occasionally, eager to cause a lot of pain to Onishiki. Onishiki managed to pull his arm away, and he began to hold it out of pain. Kitozon shook his head in disgust at Onishiki’s weakness, and stomped away at the big man. Onishiki got up to his feet quickly, causing Kitozon to attempt to bring him down again so he could take away his power, but when Kitozon tried to clothesline him down, Onishiki just trampled him again with a body smash. Onishiki then tried to make the best of this opportunity and lifted Kitozon back to his feet, kicked him three times in the gut, before lifting him into the air for a powerbomb, eager to pull off the move he had failed to do a week ago. He managed to do it this time, and drilled Kitozon into the mat with a huge sit-out powerbomb, causing the fans to explode with boos. Onishiki ignored them, and began to stalk Kitozon. He waited for Kitozon the get up, and when he did, he attempted to go for the Samoan Driver to end the match, but Kitozon countered the move easily and put his hand around the throat of Onishiki. He then released him, but took advantage of the shock to whip Onishiki across the ring. When Onishiki came back, Kitozon chopped him in the chest, making the crowd yell “Ki!”, he chopped him again, causing the fans to yell out “To!”, and one more made the fans finish his name with a “Zon!”. The fans then began to cheer as they knew what was going to follow. Kitozon stood back, and then brought his hand down on the head of Onishiki with the Kitozon Chop, causing the crowd to explode with a “Chop!!!!!!” (This is all being said in Japanese of course.). Kitozon then made the cover and got the victory over Onishiki. [b]Winner:[/b] Master Kitozon in 12:54 [b]B+[/b] [i]- A good main event, with neither man really getting tired. [/i] ____________________________________________ [b]Overall:[/b] B [b]Notes:[/b] Finally, a B rated show! In the predictions tally, it is Sadistic with 10/12, and Midnightnick with 8/12. Both of you get to pick upper card matches for the next Thursday show. Apologies for the shortness of the Nandaba/Byron match, I just don't feel how I could write the match any differently lol. Predictions for the Thursday show up next. ____________________________________________ [/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadisticBlessings Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 [U]Thursday[/U] Osei Khama & Naoshi Shinomori vs. [b]Alasi Tua & Yuto Ijima[/b] [i]Could be that either Khama or Shinomori has raised their respect to a D+ level, but other than that I can't see the young lion rule broken for either of them.[/i] Akahashi Kuno & Flash Asagi vs. [b]Kazuo Mitsushi & Byron Valmont[/b] [i]As I look down the card, I notice this weeks matches are all quite even odds-wise... in this case, Kuno is currently the most valuable worker in the match, but Asagi is the least. Meanwhile Mitsushi & Valmont have both put on sterling performances lately. I see Mitsushi getting the win on Asagi here.[/i] [b]Stunner Okazawaya & Noriyoshi Sanada[/b] vs. The Mibu Ronin [i]This is one of those times where I think the "old school" approach to booking will be thrown out the window - usually experience as a team would trump two singles stars, but I can't see you killing Okazawaya & Sanada's momentum right before Sword of Destiny.[/i] #1 Contendership for Pacific Championship [b]Edo Phoenix[/b] vs. DEMON Yukata vs. Kiba Izumi [i]Seeing as both Yukata and Izumi have been beaten decisively by Kenji already, I'm inclined to believe Edo Phoenix takes the win here... but then who will be facing Elemental at SoD?[/i] Atsushi Nagamichi vs. [b]Paul Kingsley[/b] [i]Kingsley may be a drunk, but he's a surprisingly talented drunk... like a 1970s Jack Griffiths.[/i] [b]Onishiki[/b] vs Shogo Takani [i]I'm almost ashamed to have picked this match, but they may well surprise us if the match doesn't cause Takani to die of exhaustion - regardless, most of my favorite workers are already on the card!

Would've replied to this above, but I started posting before yours was finished and never saw it :D Regardless, next tour, I have a feeling we may be seeing that very idea come to fruition!

Naoshi needed to show he could look past his attitude and can perform, while Osei needs to show he can perform as well. Alasi needs to prove that he was worth signing up, and Yuto needs to prove that he is worthy of his midcard presence. Both teams began to talk to each other, and when they decided who went first, it was the monstrous duo of Osei Khama & Alasi Tua who started the match. Both went face to face and began to have a staredown, trying to see who would be frightened first. When neither would back down, they both swung with their fists at the same time, clobbering each other. Osei toppled to the mat due to the power behind Tua’s shot, but Tua showed his sturdiness by staying put, barely showing any effect at all. Tua pulled the big Khama back up to his feet before booting him hard in the gut. Osei doubled over, leaving him vulnerable to a double axe handle. The force that Tua put into the blow sent Osei back down to the mat. The fans didn’t really like any people in this match apart from Yuto, but began to chant for Tua after seeing he was in control. Tua picked Osei up once more and whipped him across the ring. When Osei came back, he attempted to nail Tua with a clothesline, but it didn’t seem to affect Tua at all, who just stood there and stared at him again. Osei ran to the ropes and tried it again, but Tua floored him with a boot. Tua began to stomp away viciously at Osei before picking him up again. He then booted him in the gut and whipped him into Tua’s corner. Tua tagged out to Ijima, which got a slight cheer from the crowd. Tua began to lay punches into Osei’s gut while Ijima waited. Tua climbed onto the apron, allowing Ijima to begin to stomp away at Osei’s chest. Osei managed to counter it somehow and pushed Ijima away, but Tua punched him in the back from behind, halting any momentum he may have gotten. Ijima pulled Khama out of the corner and booted him in the gut. He then flipped him overhead with a suplex, sending the big man crashing down into the mat. Ijima tried to follow this up with a cover, but Osei kicked out almost instantly. Ijima then quickly tagged back out to Tua before he got too tired. Tua clambered back into the ring and moved towards Osei. Osei noticed this and quickly shot up to his feet. They had another staredown, and locked up. It was a long struggle, but Tua once again managed to come out on top. He whipped Osei into the ropes, and tried to go for a clothesline but the slightly smaller Osei ducked underneath it and came back with a huge flying lariat when he returned. This sent Tua rocking, but he didn’t go over. Osei then went back to the ropes and tried what he did earlier, and tried to knock Tua off of his feet with another massive lariat, but Tua had recovered fairly quickly and no-sold it. Osei stared at him in disbelief, and could clearly be seen as having had enough. He through his hands up into the air and tagged in Naoshi, who was seemingly petrified. Naoshi slowly made his way into the ring, and was absolutely dwarfed by the massive Tua. Naoshi tried to tag back out to Osei, but he moved out of reach, as he was recovering on the outside of the ring. Tua picked up the smaller Naoshi with ease and slammed him to the mat with a one-arm spinebuster. Tua then picked him up and whipped him across the ring. Naoshi came back reluctantly, and was levelled by the Samoan Charge, a massive lariat of devastating force due to Tua’s massive frame. Naoshi lied motionless on the mat when Tua put his foot on his chest to pin him, and Ijima ran across the ring to stop Osei from breaking up the pin. Ijima & Tua got the victory, and impressed the fans and management at the same time. [b]Winner:[/b] Alasi Tua & Yuto Ijima by pinfall on Naoshi Shinomori in 5:57 [b]D+[/b] – [i] Disappointing, but somewhat expected rating, due to the lack of name power here. Ijima taught Naoshi something about performing for the crowd [/i] _______________________________________________ [B][U]Match 2:[/b] Akahashi Kuno & Flash Asagi vs. Kazuo Mitsushi & Byron Valmont[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/akahashikuno.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/flashasagi.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/kazuomitsushi.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/byronvalmont.jpg[/IMG] These two teams have a basic history together. Kazuo and Kuno have basically been rivals in the junior heavyweight division, seemingly meeting up every other match. Asagi has apparently been taken under Kuno’s wing as a protégé so to speak, which has begun to show in his mannerisms and the excellence he uses while pulling off moves. Asagi and Valmont have faced each other before, and are considered rivals in the youth fliers division, as neither have a big fan base, but both are very talented high fliers. There will definitely be a lot of tension between everyone in this match tonight. Once both teams had spoken through what their plans were, it was Asagi and Valmont who faced off against each other first. When the bell rung, both men ran at each other, Valmont tricked Asagi and swept his legs out from under him, before going for a pinfall attempt. Asagi kicked out almost at once, and hopped up to his feet. Valmont tried to sweep under his legs again, but Asagi flipped backwards to avoid it, before jumping onto Valmont’s shoulders to go for a hurracanrana. Valmont pushed him off, causing Asagi to flip backwards again, but he landed on his feet. Valmont went for a clothesline now, but Asagi rolled under it. He then caught Valmont by surprise and rolled him up for a solid two count before Valmont kicked out. Both men got up to their feet quickly and went to a stare down. The fans cheered both of them for that spectacle. Both men tagged out to their partners, getting a bigger amount of cheers as the fans wanted to see these two face off again. Kuno and Kazuo circled each other for a long time, with the fans split evenly down the middle over who to cheer for. Both men charged into the tie up, and it was Kazuo who emerged victorious after a short struggle, driving his knee sharply into Kuno’s gut. Kazuo then flipped Kuno over with a suplex, sending him crashing down to the mat below. Kazuo pulled him back up in the same position, and hoisted Kuno above his head into a vertical position. He held him there, wanting the blood to rush to his head. Kazuo then motioned to Valmont, who quickly climbed up to the top rope. Kazuo turned Kuno so he was facing Valmont, and Valmont flew off of the top rope with a missile dropkick. He connected perfectly with Kuno’s chest, driving him down to the mat, whilst also giving extra momentum to Kazuo suplexing Kuno. Kuno hit the mat hard and grabbed his back out of pain, before Kazuo quickly scurried to make the cover. Kuno just managed to kick out before the three. Kazuo picked Kuno back up and whipped him across the ring. He went for a clothesline, but Kuno dropkicked his knee out from under him. Kazuo hit the mat, and once he began to get up, he got dropkicked in the face by Kuno, allowing Kuno to tag in Flash Asagi. Asagi ascended to the top rope while Kuno picked Kazuo up. Kazuo managed to counter Kuno however, and easily dropped him after a few sharp forearms to the side of the head. Asagi managed to surprise him though, and levelled the bigger Kazuo with a missile dropkick. He then pointed to Byron as if to say that’s how you do a missile dropkick. He attempted to make the cover on Kazuo, but Kazuo powered out before the three count. Kazuo then stood up quickly and began to batter Asagi; he kept driving his forearms into the head of Asagi, forcing him back into a corner. Kazuo then drove his knee viciously into the gut of Asagi, causing him to double over. Kazuo then picked up Asagi and placed him on the top rope. He climbed up after him, and went for a big suplex to amaze the fans, but Asagi began to fight back. This distracted Kazuo after a shot to the side of the head. Kuno then took the chance and ran along the apron before leaping high into the air and connected with a beautiful dropkick to Kazuo. Kazuo dropped down to the mat below, and Asagi attempted to go for the Young Lion Roar. Kazuo somehow managed to roll out of the way, and Asagi ate nothing but canvas. Kazuo then ran towards Kuno and paid him back with a dropkick of his own, sending Kuno crashing to the outside. Kazuo then stalked Asagi, and drilled him with the Mystic Dropper once he got up. Kazuo rolled Asagi over and made the cover, getting the victory for his team. [b]Winner:[/b] Kazuo Mitsushi & Byron Valmont by pinfall on Flash Asagi in 11:33 [b]C+[/b] [i]- Kazuo seemed to be really off his game tonight, but he still performed better than we could have expected[/i] _______________________________________________ [B][U]Match 3:[/b] Stunner Okazawaya & Noriyoshi Sanada vs. The Mibu Ronin[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/StunnerOkazawaya.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/noriyoshisanada.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/shikimaramibu.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/tatsumakimibu.jpg[/IMG] These two teams were very determined to take away the win here tonight. The Mibu Ronin were counting on a win here, as that would put them back in contention for what they believed to be THEIR belts. Sanada & Stunner were hoping for a win here to prove that they are good singles and tag team wrestlers. Both are undefeated since the takeover as well, and so were intent on continuing those streaks here today. After talking with each other, both teams were ready for the match. It was Sanada & Shikimara Mibu who faced off first. They briefly circled each other before charging into the tie up. Mibu showed the fans why he is one of the most feared men on the roster when he literally picked up and slammed Sanada down to the mat with ease. Sanada grabbed his back out of pain, but soon grabbed his stomach once Mibu began to stomp away at it relentlessly. Mibu picked up Sanada and whipped him across the ring, and levelled him with a vicious clothesline when he came back. Mibu then dropped an elbow across his chest before attempting to go for the pinfall. Sanada was able to kick out fairly easily, but Mibu didn’t really care. Mibu just picked up Sanada and whipped him into his corner. He squashed him with a splash before tagging out to Tatsumaki Mibu. Tatsumaki quickly climbed into the ring and began to stomp and kick away at the chest and stomach of Sanada. He then pulled Sanada out of the corner into a short-arm clothesline. He then dropped his elbow across his chest like Shikimara did, before picking Sanada up to his feet and booting him in the gut. Tatsumaki then flipped Sanada over with a great snap suplex and attempted a cover. Sanada again kicked out quite quickly, showing his determination. Tatsumaki then picked up Sanada and motioned to Shikimara on the outside. He came in and stood behind Tatsumaki. Tatsumaki then whipped Sanada across the ring, and when he came back Tatsumaki threw Sanada overhead with leap frog like move, and sent him right into a clothesline from Shikimara. Sanada hit the mat hard, and Tatsumaki dragged him to the centre of the ring. He then applied a tight knee lock, only to have it broken when Stunner Okazawaya entered the ring and kicked him. Mibu just took this without much notice and dragged Sanada to his corner again. When Tatsumaki tagged out however, Sanada shot up to his feet and charged across the ring to tag in Stunner. Stunner was a bit reluctant at first, but charged into the ring nonetheless. Shikimara charged into the ring as well, but Stunner dove under his feet and appeared behind him, and dropkicked him over the ropes. Tatsumaki then attempted to catch Stunner from behind, but found himself on the receiving end of a quick Okazawaya Stunner. Tatsumaki rolled out of the ring and found himself next to Shikimara. Stunner then saw the opportunity and ran across the ring. He bounced off of the ropes and charged in the direction of the Mibu Ronin. He then flew right over the ropes and connected with an amazing Cross Body. Tatsumaki dropped to the floor, as did Shikimara after a while. Stunner climbed back into the ring while Sanada rolled Shikimara back in. Stunner suddenly seemed afraid as Shikimara quickly got back up to his feet, seemingly showing no effect to the cross body. Stunner tried to kick him, but Shikimara no-sold that as well, before drilling Stunner into the mat with a thunderous spinebuster. Sanada climbed back in and pulled Stunner up to his feet. They then both tried to attack Shikimara, but Mibu just grabbed both of their throats before driving them into the mat with a double chokeslam. Tatsumaki Mibu had managed to get to his corner by now, and Shikimara tagged him in. Tatsumaki began to pick apart Stunner with a vicious kneelock, but Sanada had come to and dropkick Tatsumaki, forcing him to break the hold. Tatsumaki then began to have a heated argument with Sanada as he climbed back onto the apron. Stunner then surprised Tatsumaki by leaping over him and getting the tag to Sanada. Sanada jumped over the ropes and began to punch away at Tatsumaki. Shikimara charged in to try and stop him, but Sanada ducked a clothesline attempt, and Shikimara’s speed worked against him as he was sent tumbling over the top ropes due to not being able to stop quickly enough. Sanada then knocked Tatsumaki to the mat with a clothesline and instantly slapped on the Sanada Pyramid in the middle of the ring. Tatsumaki struggled for a long time and was desperately trying to reach the ropes, but he couldn’t. He tapped out at 13:54, giving Sanada & Stunner the win over the vastly more experienced team. [b]Winner:[/b] Stunner Okazawaya & Noriyoshi Sanada by submission on Tatsumaki Mibu in 13:54 [b]B[/b] – [i]Fantastic match.[/i] _____________________________________ [B][U]Match 4:[/b] Edo Phoenix vs. DEMON Yukata vs. Kiba Izumi[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/EdoPhoenix.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/demonyukata.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/kibaizumi.jpg[/IMG] All three of these men were hugely intent on walking out the winner. All have had faced Kenji Fukamura in the past for his belt, and none of them have come out on top. This is something they were obviously trying to fix, and trying to make it seem like those wins were flukes. The person who needed to be watched closely here was Kiba Izumi, as he is known for his vicious submission moves and also the ability to slap them on whenever he wanted. When the match started both Yukata & Edo Phoenix immediately began to attack Kiba, eager to take him out of the match early so that they could face off. They punched and kicked away at him before whipping him across the ring. They then took Kiba to the mat with a double dropkick, and he rolled out of the ring in order to escape the assault. Edo and Yukata wasted no time and immediately began to beat on each other. They locked up and it was Yukata who managed to get the control, taking Edo over with a beautiful snap suplex, following by a running leg drop right across the throat. Yukata then sat down in the corner, and waited for Edo to get back up. When Edo did, he charged towards him to nail him with a clothesline, but he was taken down himself when Izumi emerged from out of nowhere and dropped Yukata with a back elbow. Izumi then looked at Edo, and charged towards him. Edo managed to roll under it, but Izumi was counting on that, and he grabbed hold of Edo’s head. Edo tried to elbow Izumi to make him let go, but before he could, Izumi dropped him with a neckbreaker, causing Edo to grab his neck and head in pain. Yukata was up now and instantly charged at Izumi. Izumi wasn’t expecting this, and was taken down by a running dropkick. Yukata then pulled Izumi to the center of the ring and attempt to lock him in an STF. Izumi constantly fought against him so he couldn’t lock the move in. Edo joined in the fight with a dropkick to Yukata, who broke the hold and fell down to the mat. Edo then climbed up to the top rope, and when both Izumi and Yukata got up to their feet, he sprang off of the ropes and collided with both men with a Corkscrew Cross Body. Edo then attempted a cover on Yukata, but only got a 2 count. He then went for a cover on Izumi, but he kicked out before the 3 count as well. Edo then ran to the ropes and was intent on finishing the match. He was looking to go for a senton, but Yukata and Izumi teamed up and turned him inside out with a double clothesline. Edo rolled out of the ring, needing to recover, which caused Izumi and Yukata to fight each other again. They locked up, and it was Izumi who got the control with a few knees to the gut. He then flipped Yukata over with a gutwrench suplex before waiting for Yukata to make it back up to his feet. When Yukata did stand up, Izumi wrapped his arms around his waist and hoisted him overhead with a devastating German Suplex. Yukata folded up like an accordion. Izumi then grabbed hold of his leg, taking advantage of him being dazed, and began to stomp away at his knee, as well as his ankle. Yukata was pretty much helpless. But Edo flew across the ring, seemingly having recovered, and took Izumi down with a head scissor takedown to stop him from attempting the Feral Ankle Lock. Izumi got up pretty quickly however, as he has rarely been on the bad side of moves so far, and took down Edo Phoenix from behind with a lariat. Yukata was on his feet, but Izumi took him back down with a dragon screw leg whip. Izumi then wasted no time and slapped on the Feral Ankle Lock, and applied a leg scissors, preventing Yukata from getting to the ropes. Edo was still out from the lariat, and couldn’t break the hold. Yukata eventually had no choice but to tap out, which he seemed to be ashamed of doing. [b]Winner:[/b] Kiba Izumi by submission on DEMON Yukata in 11:59 [b]C+[/b] [i]- Pretty decent, though not as good as it should have been given the star power and talent involved.[/i] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Match 5:[/b] Atsushi Nagamichi vs. Paul Kingsley [/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/atsushinagamichi.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/paulkingsley.jpg[/IMG] When these two were in the ring together, there was little doubt over who would take away the victory, but the main question in peoples minds was whether or not Atsushi could match up to a main event wrestler, and such be worthy of a push. The fans also wanted to see how Atsushi would do against a bigger wrestler, as he commonly fights similar size wrestlers. After a brief staredown, which Kingsley clearly dominated, they locked up. It was Kingsley who took first control after a quick forearm shot to the side of the head followed by an uppercut. Atsushi only stumbled however, as Paul didn’t put enough force behind the shot. He took care of this quite easily however, as he charged and drove Atsushi into the mat with vicious ferocity with an STO. Atsushi was nearly crushed due to the momentum behind the move. Paul rolled him over to try and get the cover, but somehow Atsushi managed to kick out at 2. Paul lifted him back up to his feet and whipped him across the ring. When he came back, Paul grabbed him and flung him overhead with a nice belly to belly suplex. Atsushi crashed down to the mat with a thud. Kingsley stomped away at Atsushi’s chest, eager to decimate the youngster. Paul lifted him back up to his feet, and instantly drove his knee into his gut three times. Atsushi doubled over, which lead to Paul driving him down to the mat with a huge double axe handle to the back. Paul then dropped his elbow across the back of Atsushi. He picked Atsushi up again and whipped him into the corner. He then followed up with a massive splash in the corner, nearly crushing the much smaller Atsushi. Paul pulled him out of the corner and drilled him down to the mat with a sick DDT, spiking Atsushi on his head. Atsushi rolled out of the ring, but Paul followed him, intent on not letting him recover at all. Paul booted him in the back, making him fall forward. Paul then picked him up and whipped him into the railings before whipping him into the ring. When he rolled back in himself, Atsushi tried to kick him and tried to give himself some momentum, but Paul wouldn’t have any of it and showed absolutely no effect to the punches. He then nailed Atsushi with a vicious left hook, which sent Atsushi crumpling to the mat. From then on it was obvious that Paul was going to win, but Paul wanted to show how vicious he was. Paul then pulled Atsushi back up to his feet and whipped him across the ring. When he came back he picked Atsushi up on his shoulders. He then threw him off of one side with a firemans carry, dropping Nagamichi’s head onto his knee. Atsushi was out, as many have been before once they have been hit by the Bottle Neck Breaker. Paul then made the cover and got the victory, putting an end to the vicious assault. [b]Winner:[/b] Paul Kingsley by pinfall in 5:11 [b]B-[/b] [I]- Kingsley seems to like performing at B- level, and we can’t really put up with that from a main eventer.[/I] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Match 6:[/b] Onishiki vs. Shogo Takani [/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/onishiki.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/shogotakani.jpg[/IMG] Both of these men, like most of the people on the card tonight, were out to prove something to both the fans and the management. Onishiki was out to show that he can still perform for the fans and can pull of a good match. Shogo Takani was out to prove that despite his age, he is still one of the best people on the roster. Both needed to prove that they weren’t dead weight, and that they brought something valuable to the table, experience. Both men began to circle each other. They briefly stared each other down before charging into the collar-elbow tie-up. After a lot of struggling, it was Onishiki who managed to grab first control, and he proved it with a sharp elbow to the side of Shogo’s head. He then used the temporary dazed state of Shogo to lift him into the air and drive him down with a spinebuster, completely taking Shogo by surprise. Onishiki then attempted to get the pinfall, but Shogo would not allow it. Onishiki pulled him back up to his feet and whipped Shogo across the ring. Shogo ducked a clothesline attempt from the big man and rocked Onishiki with a clothesline of his own. Onishiki didn’t go down, so Shogo booted him in the gut three times, eventually making him double over. He then quickly snapped Onishiki over with a snap suplex, surprising most of the fans in attendance due to them not seeing Shogo as a particularly strong man. Onishiki hit the mat and looked up to the ceiling in surprise, but got up quite quickly to avoid falling prey to Shogo’s submission holds. They locked up once again, with Shogo managing to steal control away from Onishiki. He then began to club away at his back. And when Onishiki dropped to one knee, Shogo took advantage and began to attack that knee with a series of chop blocks. The first one only rocked Onishiki, who began to stand up. Shogo wouldn’t risk it however, and went for another. This sent Onishiki back down to one knee, and a third one sent him down to the mat. Onishiki tried to scramble up to his feet but Shogo grabbed one of his big legs and began to kick away at the knee. Onishiki constantly reached out in pain and grabbed his knee. Shogo constantly pulled the leg further than it should go, making Onishiki suffer more. He then dropped to the mat and locked in a knee lock, before quickly switching to a seated single leg Boston Crab. Onishiki luckily managed to roll near the ropes, and grabbed hold of the bottom one. Shogo was angry that he managed to escape, but just felt that that meant he could prove he was even more dangerous. He pulled a groggy Onishiki up to his feet, but was too arrogant, as he took his time. Onishiki took advantage of this and began to batter Shogo with a few punches before whipping him across the ring. Shogo came back quickly, and was dropped with a body smash as Onishiki trampled him. Shogo rolled around on the mat, obviously in a lot of pain. Onishiki then grabbed hold of his leg and put him in a modified knee lock. Onishiki is quite talented in submission holds for a man of his build. Shogo struggled, and thanks to his respectable knowledge of submissions he managed to escape the hold quite quickly. Onishiki then stood up and kept hold of Shogo’s leg. He then hoisted Shogo into the air by his leg, before dropping Shogo back down. Onishiki wasn’t done however; as he went back to the same knee lock as before, intent on making Shogo tap out. Shogo managed to quickly escape this one too, and staggered up to his feet. Onishiki got up, and noticed Shogo was limping. He took advantage of this and stampeded towards Takani. Shogo tried to get out of the way, but Onishiki clipped his leg with a kick, sending Shogo back down to the mat. Onishiki noticed that this must mean that Shogo was getting tired and was weak. So he began to stalk Shogo, waiting for the submission master to get up. Onishiki charged towards him as soon as he did and booted him hard in the gut, Shogo doubled over, and Onishiki picked him up and placed him on his shoulder. Onishiki quickly drove Shogo into the mat head first with a Samoan Driver, and got the victory in the battle of the veterans. The fans applauded his efforts, as well as Shogo’s. [b]Winner:[/b] Onishiki by pinfall in 7:37 [b]B[/b] [I]- Pretty good match.[/I] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Main Event:[/b] Tasuku Nandaba vs. Toshiro Saito vs. Connor Thompson vs. Seison Yamanaka[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/TasukuNandaba.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/toshirosaito.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/connorthompson.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/SeisonYamanaka.jpg[/IMG] These four men were very intent on taking away the victory here today. One of these men, Connor Thompson, has faced Master Kitozon before and lost. Toshiro Saito has a big history with Master Kitozon, being his main opponent during the 1960’s. He wanted to prove that he can still take it to Master Kitozon, and hoped to take the belt away from him. Tasuku Nandaba is looking for his first shot at the big time, as he has managed to bulldoze through the undercard, and met his match in some people in the main event. He has a storied history with Toshiro Saito, having never lost in an exchange of blows with him. Toshiro, Connor and Tasuku fought each other in the last #1 Contendership match, which Connor won. Seison Yamanaka is the new person to the mix, having only faced Connor Thompson in singles, and teaming with Tasuku to face Dayu Ichihara and Toshiro Saito, and also having never faced Master Kitozon, his mentor, before. This meant that he could have a slight advantage, with not all of his opponents knowing his attack style. He has a disadvantage in that case as well, as he doesn’t know how all of his opponents fight. All four men circled the ring, with Saito easily intimidating all of them except Tasuku. Each man looked to their sides to see who to fight. Suddenly Tasuku rushed at Seison, therefore properly starting the match. Saito charged at Connor, beginning to punch him across the face. Tasuku brawled with Seison to start with, easily gaining the upper hand. He then dropped Seison to the mat with an uppercut, and then dropped his elbow right into his chest. Tasuku then pulled Seison back up to his feet and whipped him into the corner. He charged in and went for a clothesline, but Seison moved out of the way at the last second, causing Tasuku to crash into the turnbuckles. Seison then pulled Tasuku down to the mat and went for a cover, but Tasuku instantly kicked out. He got up quickly as well, and kicked Seison right in the chest, sending him down to the mat. Seison rolled around grabbing his chest before Tasuku pulled him back up and booted him in the gut. Tasuku then whipped him across the ring, and when he came back he chopped him viciously across the chest, sending him forward and down to the mat due to the momentum Seison had. While all that happened, Toshiro and Connor began to brawl with each other. It was a long struggle, but Toshiro eventually came out on top with a couple of vicious knees right to the gut. Toshiro pushed Connor into the corner, and followed up with a quick clothesline to knock the air out of him. Toshiro then nearly crushed Connor’s insides with about 6 or 7 shoulder thrusts, using all of his power in each one. He then backed away from the corner, allowing Connor to fall forward out of exhaustion. Toshiro then pulled him up to his feet. He clasped his hands around his throat and lifted him high into the air. Toshiro stared a hole right through him, and then threw him right into the corner, sending Connor crashing back into the turnbuckles. Connor yelled out in pain and dropped to the mat. Toshiro picked him up again and whipped him across the ring, and knocked him down to the mat with a vicious clothesline on his return. Toshiro and Tasuku were both in control of their opponents at this point. Connor rolled out of the ring, as did Seison at this moment after receiving the chop from Tasuku. Both Toshiro and Tasuku returned their focus to the ring, and as soon as their eyes met, the fans exploded with cheers. Both men came face to face and stared at each other. Both men to bad mouth the other before starting to throw punches. Toshiro managed to get the first shot, nailing Tasuku across the side of the face. Tasuku fired back with two shots in lightning quick succession, once to the side of the face and one to the chin. Toshiro began to stagger backwards, before fighting back and nailing Tasuku on the chin in revenge. Tasuku staggered back, and threw another fist that connected with Toshiro’s nose. Saito backed away and shook his head, and began to check his nose for blood. When he saw it wasn’t, he wildly flung his fist to hit Tasuku. Nandaba managed to duck it however, as it was thrown clumsily. He jumped to the side in order to evade another shots, and quickly nailed Toshiro in the back of the head. Saito was staggering badly right now, and flung one more punch. Tasuku ducked it again and fired off a barrage of 5 punches right to the side of the face. Toshiro went down to one knee, giving Tasuku the perfect opportunity for an uppercut. He connected with one of the strongest punches he has ever thrown, and it sent Toshiro right down to the mat. Seison and Connor made their way back into the ring by now, and began to attack Tasuku in order to stop his momentum. Tasuku managed to push Seison away using his sheer power, and then slightly managed to push Connor away, before charging at him and dropping him with a clothesline. Seison tried again, and went for a chop block. He connected, but Tasuku managed to overcome the shot of pain and grabbed Seison by the head and pulled it down onto his knee with sickening precision. Seison flew backwards from the impact and rolled right out of the ring. Tasuku then turned his attention to Connor, albeit a little late, as he was met with a clothesline. He dropped right to the mat. Connor picked him back up and whipped him across the ring. Saito had managed to get back up by now, and when he saw Tasuku running towards him, he stretched his arm out and levelled Tasuku with a devastating clothesline. Tasuku rolled out of the ring to recover, leaving Connor to face off with Toshiro again. Both charged at each other, with Connor ducking a clothesline attempt and running towards the ropes. He then leapt into the air to attempt a flying lariat, but Saito caught him and slammed him down to the mat with a huge modified front slam. Toshiro picked him back up and threw him over the top rope. He was the only one inside the ring, and was clearly the dominant man right now. Tasuku was the first back into the ring, and he charged at Toshiro from behind, catching him off guard with a clubbing blow to the back. Saito quickly recovered however, and instantly began to fight back. Tasuku drove his knee into Saito’s gut, but Saito just pushed him away and charged at him. Tasuku almost managed to duck a clothesline, but Toshiro quickly changed it into an overhead chop, mocking Master Kitozon. This got a huge amount of boos from the crowd, which he just seemed to absorb and change into energy. He picked Tasuku up and whipped him across the ring, and when Tasuku came back he lifted him high into the air. Tasuku managed to reverse this however and landed behind Toshiro. He then kicked the back of his knee, bringing the big man to one knee. Tasuku then used this as an advantage and applied a chinlock to Saito. Toshiro managed to power out of it quite easily. Tasuku desperately needed to take Saito down, so he kicked him in the back of the knees again several times. He then used up every ounce of his strength to attempt a German Suplex. Saito wouldn’t budge, but Tasuku wouldn’t give up as he tried again. He lifted Saito up, but didn’t manage to heave him over. He tried one last time, and after a long struggle, he managed to throw Saito over head in a fantastic feat of strength, sending Saito crashing to the mat below. Tasuku looked surprised at himself, and the crowd was exploding from excitement, cheering him on. He went to pick Saito up, but Connor attacked him from behind with a punch to the back, making him stumble. Saito rolled out of the ring to recover while Connor turned Tasuku round. Connor was caught off guard as Tasuku swung a punch at him whilst he turned him around, and was nailed right in the jaw with it. Connor fell to the mat, just as Seison was climbing back into the ring. Tasuku charged at the smallest person in the match and knocked him down with a lariat. Tasuku picked him up and whipped him across the ring, and he crashed into the corner. Connor attempted to surprise Tasuku again, but Tasuku evaded his attack and whipped Connor into the same corner as Seison. Tasuku then sat down in the corner where he was, and charged at full speed towards them. Both men tried to move, but Tasuku crushed them both with a huge splash in the corner. Seison dropped down to the mat and rolled out of the ring once more, while Connor just dropped down to the mat. Tasuku yelled in confidence. Toshiro got back into the ring however and knocked Tasuku to the mat with a powerful punch to the back of the head. He then picked Tasuku up and booted him in the gut. Saito then snapped Tasuku over with a powerful suplex, before attempting a pinfall. Tasuku kicked out quite quickly, enraging Saito. Toshiro picked Nandaba up and whipped him into the corner. He then followed him and speared him in the corner. Saito picked up Tasuku and placed him up on the top rope. He followed him up, something that he has never done before. Connor rushed back into the ring and battered away at the back of Toshiro, before attempting to go for a powerbomb. Toshiro tried to fight him off, whilst also attempting to go for a super belly to belly suplex. Seison suddenly showed up and leapt into the air, nailing Toshiro with a dropkick to the back. This pushed Saito forwards, head-butting Tasuku. Tasuku toppled and fell off of the top to the outside. Saito lost his balance, which allowed Connor to use all of his strength to lift Saito into the air and then drilled him to the mat with a Super Powerbomb. Saito almost landed on Seison, who just managed to move out of the way. Connor was exhausted, as was Saito. Seison was the only man standing in the ring, quite an unexpected sight. Tasuku slowly made his way back into the ring, and drew the attention of Seison. Seison charged at him, but Tasuku ducked a clothesline and nailed Seison with a back elbow. Connor was getting up, so Tasuku made the most of his chance and charged at him. He then connected with the Full Swing Lariat!!! Tasuku attempted a pinfall, but Seison snuck up on him and locked in the Red Sun Rising. This caused Tasuku to rise off of the pin, breaking it. Seison applied every bit of pressure he possibly could. Tasuku looked close to tapping, and the fans were on the edge of their seats, when the monstrous Toshiro Saito appeared again, clasping his hands around the throat of Seison. He then threw the much smaller man into the air, grabbed him on the way down and drove him viciously into the mat with a Saito-Plex. Connor was still out from the Full Swing Lariat, and Tasuku was recovering from the Red Sun Rising. This meant nobody could break the cover, not even Seison could, as he was knocked out cold due to the impact of the Saito-Plex. Toshiro took away the victory and got his title opportunity tomorrow night at Sword of Destiny. [b]Winner:[/b] Toshiro Saito by pinfall on Seison Yamanaka in 18:21 [b]B+[/b] [i]- A great main event once again. [/i] ____________________________________________ [b]Overall:[/b] B [b]Notes:[/b] Man that Main Event took a long time to right up, about 2,000 words long lol. Hopefully this is the start of a string of B shows. We gained a lot of money here, due to fans packing into the arena due to the pre-event hype. SadisticBlessings got 5/7 on this card, as did Midnightnick. Both of you made wrong predictions on the same matches, being the Main Event and the #1 Contendership for the Pacific title match. MTJTM got 2/7. These are all the summary of the weeks shows so far. Predictions for Sword of Destiny will be up next. ____________________________________________ [/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SadisticBlessings Posted June 17, 2007 Share Posted June 17, 2007 [b]Seijiro Orinichi[/b] vs. Osei Khama [i]Not exactly an easy match to call, simply because neither has had enough time on the main shows to prove themselves. Still, Seijiro starts out a decent enough high flyer, and the few times he's been given dark matches he tends to make the most of it.[/i] [B]Alasi Tua[/B] vs. Flash Asagi [i]Young lion system > *. Nuff said.[/i] Satoru Sugimura vs. [b]Sensei Iketani[/b] [i]No young lion rules need be applied here - the two are pretty close in terms of popularity and respect, so I'd hope Iketani debuts with a bang.[/i] [B]Eiji Kiriyama[/B] vs. White Manta [i]A tough match to pick a winner for, as they're dead even in popularity and are both good workers in their own ways - I wound up picking Kiriyama simply because he's the one who's still improving.[/i] Jin Sakamoto vs. [B]Akahashi Kuno[/B] [i]Kuno is one of the key players of the junior division right now, and definitely deserves the win. Jin hasn't been seen much at all this tour, but I hope he gets a chance to come back next tour anyway.[/i] Stunner Okazawaya vs. [B]Noriyoshi Sanada[/B] [i]Another match that's virtually impossible to call, as both are talented and obviously rising stars. I went with Sanada simply because Okazawaya is a young lion as the game starts, so if he pulls out the win he's either skyrocketed in respect or you're taking a big risk![/i] Kiba Izumi vs. [B]Kenji Fukamura[/B](c) [i]It seems like Kenji has no real competition at this moment for his title, as he's basically beaten everyone in the midcard. I could see Izumi taking it to freshen it up a little bit, but the most likely scenario is Kenji retains and goes on to face some of the bigger names.[/i] Bishima vs. [B]Elemental[/B] [i]No comment necessary really.[/i] [B]The Black Serpent Cult(c)[/B] vs. DEMON Yukata & Onishiki [i]I could definitely see you pulling a swerve and having a title change hands at SoD... but out of all of them this seems to be the least likely. BSC are the best tag team in BHOTWG right now, so there's really no reason to have them lose the straps so soon.[/i] [B]Seison Yamanaka[/B] vs. Shogo Takani [i]No doubt... Seison has always delivered so far, and virtually every match he's part of earns a B+ or higher. If he can't deliver an A rated match with Kitozon, nobody can.[/i] [b]Dayu Ichihara[/b] vs. Connor Thompson [i]With Thompson having just lost to Kitozon, I think this may be the time he begins to fade slowly down the card, putting people over as he goes. Ichihara could definitely use a momentum boost from a win here.[/i] [B]Master Kitozon(c)[/B] vs. Toshiro Saito [i]Kitozon is older than would be ideal, obviously, but Saito just doesn't have the endurance or the popularity to deserve a win here yet. That's not to say he wouldn't be a respectable champion - he's just not on Kitozon's level.[/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seijiro is one of the young super juniors who is hoping to breakout soon, but is required to become more of an all-rounded worker before he can do so. Osei is one of the more menacing men on the roster, and is one of the largest too. His Gold Coast Driver is starting to catch on with people who see the show live, as they see him in action during the pre-show. When these two locked up, it was Osei who got the control easily with a couple of clubbing blows to the back of Seijiro. Seijiro doubled over, allowing Osei to pick him up and drop him back down with a side slam. Osei then picked him back up and whipped him across the ring. When he came back Osei lifted Seijiro high into the air and then dropped him back down to the mat with a press slam, making Seijiro bounced up from the impact. Osei pulled him back up to his feet, and went for a belly to belly, but Seijiro snuck out of it and began to kick away at him, hoping to wear him down. Osei began to stagger backwards after a vicious barrage of kicks right to the chest. Seijiro then attempted to send him down with a dropkick, but Osei stood firm. Seijiro tried again, but this time Osei moved out of the way, and clotheslined Seijiro from behind. Seijiro grabbed his head in pain and tried to move over to the ropes so he could pull himself up, but Osei blocked him and stomped away at his madly, seemingly trying to break his back from the power behind the shots. Osei then pulled him up to his feet and whipped him into the corner. He followed up with a devastating clothesline, sending Seijiro right over the ropes and crashing to the floor from the impact. Osei waited in the ring, but when it seemed like Seijiro would be counted out, he followed him and rolled Seijiro back in. Osei picked him up and kicked him several times in the gut, making him double over again. He then clasped one arm around Seijiro’s waist before lifting him up into the air just using that arm and then drove Seijiro onto his knee with a backbreaker. Seijiro grabbed his back, evidentially in a lot of pain before Osei attempted to make the cover. Seijiro somehow found the strength to kick out, which only seemed to anger Osei. Khama picked Seijiro up and booted him in the gut again before putting him in position for a powerbomb. Seijiro attempted to reverse it with a hurracanrana, but Osei stood tall and held his ground, leaving Seijiro in a vulnerable position. Osei then took this chance and drove Orinichi into the mat with an Orange Crush Bomb, which is known as the Gold Coast Driver. Seijiro’s head bounced off of the mat due to the impact, and Osei made the cover. He got the 3 count and emerged victorious for the first time on this tour. [b]Winner:[/b] Osei Khama by pinfall in 11:41 [b]D[/b] – [i]Kinda what I expected.[/i] __________________________________________________________ [B][U]Match 2:[/b] Alasi Tua vs. Flash Asagi[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/alasitua.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/flashasagi.jpg[/IMG] When these two locked up there was a huge size difference, as Tua clearly towered right over Flash Asagi, being 3 weight classes heavier, and being much more powerful. Tua easily gained first control with a vicious knee right to the gut of Asagi. Asagi almost flipped right over from the impact, but managed to somehow keep himself standing. Tua then just hoisted Flash high into the air and dropped him stomach first onto his knee. This time Asagi flipped over and grabbed his gut out of pain. Tua then stomped away at him, although he just seemed to be toying with him, as he knew he could end the match whenever he felt like it. Tua then picked Asagi off of the mat and whipped him into the corner. Asagi flipped right over the corner and crashed to the floor due to the sheer power behind the throw. Asagi tried to flee up the ramp, but Tua showed surprising agility for a man of his size and chased after the smaller Flash. He clotheslined him in the back when Asagi turned away, and then dragged him back to the ring. He rolled Asagi back in and then climbed in himself. Alasi then stomped away at Asagi again and then picked him up. Tua then booted Asagi in the gut and picked him up. He then slammed Asagi down with a side slam, causing Asagi to yell out in pain and grab his back. Tua seemed to have a smile on his face as he looked around, before getting up and pulling Flash up with him. He then clubbed him several times in the back, making Asagi gradually fall to the mat. When Asagi tried to get back up, Tua nailed him with a double axe handle. Tua began to get c0cky at this time however, and waited for Asagi to get up. When Flash did make his way to his feet, Tua ran at him like a bulldozer. Asagi dove under Tua, and then began to hit a series of dropkicks like the young American Jackson Andrews. Tua rocked after each one, but failed to fall over, due to Asagi just not having the strength to do so. Tua caught Asagi the 6th time and threw him up into the air by his legs, before letting him crash to the mat. He then picked Asagi up as he had had enough. He booted Flash in the gut and hoisted him onto his shoulders. He then threw Asagi to his side, and brought Flash’s head down across his knee. Asagi looked around after the move, but his eyes seemed empty as he fell back down to the mat. Tua simply stood on his chest and got the victory. [b]Winner:[/b] Alasi Tua by pinfall in 7:32 [b]D+[/b] -[i]Poor match for these two, but they lack popularity I guess[/i] __________________________________________________________ [B][U]Match 3:[/b] Satoru Sugimura vs. Sensei Iketani[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/satorusugimura.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/SenseiIketani.jpg[/IMG] These two are good up and comers. Satoru hasn’t had much luck lately, being on a bit of a losing streak, but he has really performed in every single one. He was determined to get back on track tonight with a victory over the great young prospect that is Sensei Iketani. Sensei is a fantastic young worker, but he is sadly limited in terms of match length due to Asthma, something that has hassled him for years. His determination to succeed has earned him the respect of several of his backstage peers already, and he looks to prove the hype right when he goes up against Satoru, hoping to get his first win in BHOTWG on his big event debut. When they locked up, it was Satoru who managed to get control first with a couple of kicks to the gut, making Sensei drop his guard long enough to lock him in a suplex position. Satoru flipped him overhead with a snap suplex, sending Sensei crashing down to the mat. Satoru quickly went for a pin attempt, but Sensei kicked out right away, which can be expected. Satoru picked Sensei back up to his feet and quickly attempted to knee him in the gut, but Sensei blocked it and pushed his knee down. Satoru tried again, but Sensei did the same thing, this time with a little more force. Satoru tripped a little bit and let go of Sensei, allowing him to quickly move away from Satoru. When Satoru got back up to his feet, Sensei charged at him and took him back down with a dropkick, before climbing up to the top rope. When Satoru got back up to his feet, Sensei flew off of the top with a missile dropkick. He connected square with Satoru’s chest, sending him back down to the mat and onto his stomach from the impact. Sensei then rushed to Satoru and began to kick away at the back of his thigh and knee. Satoru tried to scramble up to his feet, but Sensei kept him down by constantly kicking his leg and knee. When Satoru was completely down on the mat, Sensei locked him in a kneelock, and continually synched it in tighter whenever Satoru tried to move away. He almost seemed to want to break it, but Satoru wouldn’t let him, as you can guess, as Satoru ignored the pain to leap towards the ropes and grab hold of one. He managed to, but as soon as he did so, one of his hands shot down to his knee, as he possibly pulled it a little too far by reaching for the ropes. Sensei followed the rules and backed away, but kicked Satoru in the knee to show he was in control. When Satoru was able to get up to his feet, Sensei took him back down with a quick chop block. He then locked Satoru in a leg lock after pulling him back to the centre. Sensei continually applied pressure to the lower leg of Satoru, occasionally punching away at his knee as well to increase the pain that was being caused. Sensei then stood up after releasing the hold and picked Satoru up after him. He then whipped Satoru into the corner. Satoru noticeable limped along the way, but fell down before reaching the corner and landed face first on the turnbuckles. Sensei laughed when he saw this and pulled Satoru back to the centre of the ring. He then turned Satoru to go for another submission, but Satoru surprised him with a several clubbing blows to the head before scrambling up to his feet. Sensei stared at him in shock, as he was sure he had damaged Satoru’s knee beyond repair. Satoru smiled and shook his leg, seemingly showing no pain, like he had led Sensei on so he could surprise him. Sensei charged at Satoru, full of anger, but Satoru easily ducked it and came back with a kick to the stomach which made Sensei double up. Satoru then leapt into the air and kicked Sensei in the back of the head before picking him up off of the mat and whipping him into the corner. Satoru charged at him, but Sensei managed to counter with a kick right to the head. Satoru dropped to the mat, and Sensei climbed up to the top rope in order to end the match. Sensei flew off of the top, going for the Cannonball Splash, but Satoru managed to move out of the way, and Sensei ate canvas. He struggled up to his feet, but was sent right back down with the Sugimura Slice. Satoru then rolled him over and made the cover, getting the win. [b]Winner:[/b] Satoru Sugimura by pinfall in 8:40 [b]C[/b] – [i]Kinda disappointing, but kinda not I guess. Match was just the right length.[/i] __________________________________________________________ [B][U]Match 4:[/b] Eiji Kiriyama vs. White Manta[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/eijikiriyama.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/WhiteManta.jpg[/IMG] Both of these men were eager to take away a win in this match here tonight. Eiji was looking to prove how skilled he really is by decimating the veteran White Manta quickly. White Manta was just out to prove that he still has got what it takes, and that he deserves to be on the roster. Eiji didn’t care about anything like that, he just wanted to destroy somebody. When these two locked up, Eiji managed to gain control after a few stiff shots from his knee into the gut of Manta. Eiji then whipped Manta across the ring, and chopped him across the chest when he came back. Manta dropped down to one knee, not wanting to fall over. Eiji chopped him again, but Manta refused to go down. Eiji then pulled him up to both feet and began to punch him in the stomach. Manta doubled over every time, before Eiji finished the series off with a stiff elbow to the back of the head. Manta went down to the mat following the shot, and Eiji took advantage by locking him in an armbar, constantly pulling the arm as far back as he could possibly do in order to apply excruciating pressure. Manta stayed immobile for a long time, trying not to cause himself injury by moving, but eventually he decided the pain was too much to just sit there and take, and so he made every attempt he could to get to the ropes. Eiji tried as much as possible to stop him from getting to them however, including a couple of stiff punches to the back of the head which seemingly knocked Manta out. Eiji pulled the veteran back up to his feet, but Manta managed to catch him off-guard with a chop to the chest. Eiji backed away, allowing Manta to surge forward and take him down with a quick STO. Manta then climbed up top and waited for Eiji to get back up. When Eiji eventually got back up to both feet Manta flew off of the top rope with a flying kick. He connected with the side of Eiji’s head, sending him down to the mat. Manta then took the chance to use his advantage in mat wrestling to keep Eiji down. He locked him in a headlock, making sure he used every bit of strength he had in order to make sure Eiji didn’t get up or gain momentum. When Eiji seemed to be powering through, Manta quickly rolled Eiji over into a pinfall, but Eiji kicked out almost immediately. Manta somehow manoeuvred Eiji back over and locked him back into the same headlock. Eiji eventually began to power through this as well, so Manta switched round so he could work on the knees of Eiji, hoping to take away his stability so he couldn’t unleash that Merciless Barrage. Manta punched the back of Eiji’s leg and knee several times in order to weaken them. He then locked in a leg lock variation; constantly putting pressure on the limbs he weakened in order to cause more pain. Eiji didn’t want to give up just yet, and used every bit of his strength to get to the ropes, forcing Manta to break the hold. As Manta is a veteran, he obliges and releases the hold. Eiji then gets back up and the two begin to circle each other. Manta let’s his want to prove his worth get the better of him as he charged towards Eiji. Eiji ducked a clothesline attempt and nailed Manta in the temple with a back elbow, before bringing his head down across his knee. Eiji then whipped Manta across the ring, and nailed him right in the jaw with a punch that sent the veteran flying. Eiji attempted to make a cover, but Manta kicked out quickly. Eiji pulled Manta up to his feet and whipped him into the corner. When Eiji tried to follow up with a splash in the corner, but Manta reversed it with a back elbow to the forehead of Eiji. Eiji staggered back, appearing to be slightly dazed. Manta took advantage of the situation and climbed up to the top rope, before flying off with a missile dropkick which sent Eiji flying due to the impact. Manta then scurried over to Eiji and made the cover, but only got a two count before Eiji kicked out. Manta then stomped away at Eiji’s sternum before picking him up again. He then whipped Eiji across the ring, attempting to go for the White Out, but Eiji came back with a full power punch right to the side of the face. Manta spun around from the impact and then fell to the mat. Eiji picked him up and leant him against the corner. He then unleashed the Merciless Barrage on Manta, knocking the veteran out right away. The referee ended the match and raised Eiji’s hand, getting a large amount of boos from the crowd. [b]Winner:[/b] Eiji Kiriyama by knockout in 15:34 [b]C+[/b] – [i]Pretty decent match, though it could have been better.[/i] __________________________________________________________ [B][U]Match 5:[/b] Jin Sakamoto vs. Akahashi Kuno[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/jinsakamoto.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/akahashikuno.jpg[/IMG] These two are some of our more consistent workers, one of which has a lot to teach the young talent. The other is a young talent who if he can improve just a little bit more he could easily rise to superstar level. Jin was eager to take away the victory tonight, to prove that he can still wrestle the younger members of the roster and that he is still worth his pay. Kuno was looking to take the victory to prove that he can go up against veterans and can come away the victor. When these two locked up, it was Jin who got the control after a kick to the gut. He then flipped Kuno over with a quick snap suplex, and went for a quick pinfall attempt, but Kuno kicked out right away. Jin pulled him back up to his feet and wrenched his arm round into a hammerlock. Jin constantly pushed the arm up higher than it should go when applying pressure, badly damaging Kuno in the process. Kuno somehow managed to get out of it as he flipped over with no assistance from the ropes which got a few cheers from the crowd, and then threw Jin to the mat. Jin got up right away and charged at Kuno, only to be taken down with another arm drag. This time Kuno kept hold of the arm, locking in an arm bar variation. Jin was eventually able to get up to his feet, and when he did he elbowed Kuno several times in the gut, forcing him to release the arm bar, which he had managed to keep locked in. Jin then charged across the ring and into the ropes, and when he came back he took Kuno down with a forearm smash right to the forehead. Jin then picked up Kuno and whipped him into the corner. He was about to follow up with a clothesline, but Kuno flipped over the ropes, causing Jin to crash into the turnbuckles. Jin then staggered backwards as Kuno jumped up to the top rope from the apron. Kuno then flew off of the top and connected with a missile dropkick. Jin tried to stay standing up but the momentum behind the move knocked him down to the mat. Kuno scurried over and attempted a cover, but Jin kicked out instantly, shaking off the effects of the dropkick. Kuno then tried to keep Jin grounded with a headlock, putting all of his weight on the neck, but Jin managed to roll out of it and shot up to his feet. Kuno tried to get up, but Jin kicked him stiffly in the chest, sending him down to the mat. Jin then picked the youngster up and booted him in the gut, before hoisting him into the air for a suplex. Kuno managed to reverse it and landed behind Jin. Kuno then attempted to go for a reverse suplex, but Jin showed his experience advantage when he spun round, taking Kuno down with a modified neckbreaker. He went for a cover on Kuno but Kuno kicked out just before the three count. Kuno slowly got up to his feet, but was shaking his head, possibly still feeling the effects of the neckbreaker. Jin used this chance to rush in and take Kuno back down to the mat. After taking Kuno down Jin began to stomp away at him before dropping his elbow across his chest. Jin then dragged Kuno back up to his feet slowly, before punching him fiercely in the gut. When Kuno doubled over, Jin drove his elbow into the back of his head and then planted Kuno with a bulldog. Jin rolled him over and attempted to make the cover, but Kuno kicked out before 2. Jin pulled Kuno up to his feet, and hoisted him onto his shoulders for the Samurai Pride, but when Jin threw him off to hit it, Kuno landed on his feet and kicked Jin in the gut. Jin doubled over, allowed Kuno to get up to the top rope. Jin recovered quite quickly and followed Kuno up. Both began to brawl, with Jin supposedly getting the control. He tried to go for a superplex to end the match, but Kuno managed to stop him. Kuno then surprised everybody in attendance by flipping over Jin and landing on the mat. Jin turned around to see why he did that, but was met with a jumping enziguri! Jin was dazed and fell down to the mat with a thud. Kuno went to the corner and began to stomp his feet, making the crowd join in. Jin got up to one knee, and Kuno charged, only to be turned inside out with a clothesline out of nowhere from Jin. Sakamoto then took advantage of this chance and lifted Kuno back up to his feet, and then hoisted him onto his shoulders before nailing the Samurai Pride, and got the victory. The fans gave a mixed reaction, as they felt Kuno had been robbed, but other felt it was good to see Jin get another victory. [b]Winner:[/b] Jin Sakamoto by pinfall in 13:32 [b]B[/b] [i]- Fantastic match for these two. Didn’t want to risk a bomb due to Kuno not having enough respect.[/i] __________________________________________________________ [B][U]Match 6:[/b] Stunner Okazawaya vs. Noriyoshi Sanada Two out of Three Falls Match[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/StunnerOkazawaya.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/noriyoshisanada.jpg[/IMG] These two were heading into this match on absolutely huge heads of steam. Stunner is currently on a 13-0 winning streak, felling people like Jin Sakamoto and Akira Shirou on his way. Noriyoshi Sanada is currently on an 11-0 winning streak. Both men were very intent on keeping those streaks alive and well. Sanada was most likely going to stick to the part of wrestling he is best at, technical wrestling. Stunner is not as seasoned in that area, but he is a pretty good all-rounder. The only thing that is not going for him is his weight, being a fairly lightweight worker. When both men came down to the ring they received equal amounts of cheers from the crowd. When the match started both men walked to the centre and extended their hands. They shook and went back to the sides of the ring; there was clearly a mutual respect between these two. They circled each other for a little while before locking up. After a brief struggle Sanada managed to seize control with a quick dragon screw leg whip. Sanada kept hold of Stunner’s leg and dropped his elbow across the knee. He then locked in a tight knee lock, constantly twisting the joint to try and cause as much pain as possible. He then stood back up, but didn’t let go of Stunner’s leg, and began to kick away at the joint. He then turned Stunner over and locked in a weak single leg Boston Crab, using it just to weaken the leg with no intention of making Stunner tap out yet. Stunner managed to take advantage of the weakness of the move by quickly scurrying towards the ropes and grabbing hold of the bottom rope. Sanada released the hold, but just pulled Stunner back to the middle of the ring so he could lock him back in the hold. Stunner wouldn’t let him however, as he pushed him away using his legs. Stunner then got up to both feet, although he did it quite slowly, and stood to face Sanada. Both men then nodded at each other and Sanada extended his hand again, allowing Stunner to shake it. He was clearly impressed by Stunner’s resilience despite the pain. They circled each other again before charging into the collar-elbow tie up. This time it was Stunner who managed to sneak the control away from Sanada with a couple of blows to his legs. Stunner then used all of his strength to lift Sanada up and over with suplex, sending the slightly bigger man crashing to the mat. Stunner shot up to his feet and grabbed hold of Sanada’s leg, and pulled him into the centre of the ring. He kicked the knee a couple of times before dropping to the mat and locking Sanada in the same hold he had put on him before. Sanada showed his experience however and quickly escaped it, managing to reach the ropes with blinding speed. Stunner shot back up to his feet quickly, ready to receive Sanada’s assault. Sanada slowly made his way up to his feet, and looked Stunner in the eye. He then charged right at him, attempting to go for a clothesline. Stunner ducked it, and back kicked Sanada right between the shoulders. Sanada dropped down to one knee, and when he attempted to get back up he was hit again by a dropkick from Stunner, sending him back down to the mat. Stunner let him get back up to his feet, but when Sanada got back up, he charged in and went for a German Suplex, trying to take the first fall, but Sanada managed to reverse it and spiked Stunner with a DDT. Sanada pulled him back into the middle of the ring and began to stomp away at the knee, and occasionally worked on the legs themselves by seemingly trying to pull them out of their joints. Sanada then quickly tried to lock the Sanada Pyramid in, but Stunner rushed over to the ropes and rolled out of the ring before he could do. Sanada followed him out, only to be hit with an enziguri when he turned Stunner around. He staggered backwards, leaving himself open to a dropkick from Stunner which sent him over the ring steps. Stunner hurried back into the ring, while Sanada only just made it back into the ring before the 10 count was made. They locked up again, with Sanada managing to get control back in his hands. He booted Stunner in the gut and hoisted him high into the air with a vertical suplex. He held him up there for 10 or so seconds, and Stunner noticeably seemed to go limp. Sanada then dropped Stunner down to the mat with a suplex, and quickly attempted to make a pinfall, but Stunner kicked out just in time. Sanada then took him by surprise and dragged him back to the middle of the ring and instantly locked in a leg lock. Stunner tried to reverse it, but couldn’t as Sanada had it locked in tight. This wasn’t the only move Sanada was going to pull off. He surprised Sanada yet again when he quickly shifted from a simple leg lock to the Sanada Pyramid! Stunner struggled and struggled, desperately trying to reach the ropes. He even extended his body and arms as far as they could go in an attempt to reach the ropes, but he was too far away. Sanada then applied more pressure when he pulled Stunner’s legs back a lot further, nearly bending Stunner in half. Stunner fought on for a little bit longer, but eventually he had to tap, for fear of being broken in half, and so Sanada scored the first fall. [b]First Fall:[/b] Noriyoshi Sanada by submission at 6:23 Sanada allowed Stunner some time to recover, as he wanted him to bring his best. When he had recovered fully, both men began to circle each other again. When they locked up, Stunner managed to quickly gain control after shifting around Sanada and pulling him to the mat after pulling his legs out from under him. Stunner then hopped forward and locked Sanada in a headlock. Sanada managed to make his way up to his feet, but Stunner used all of his strength to flip Sanada over to the mat with a headlock takedown. He kept the hold in tight, but Sanada clubbed the side of his head with a few punches, forcing him to release it. Sanada got back up to his feet and ran at Stunner, taking him down quickly with a clothesline. He then pulled Stunner back up to his feet and whipped him into the corner with all of his power. Stunner hit the turnbuckles and then fell forward slightly from the impact, but he managed to stay up. Sanada stopped this however, as he charged towards Stunner and clothesline him back into the corner, making Stunner hit the floor hard. Sanada then dragged him back into the center of the ring. He stomped away at his knees, and locked in the Sanada Pyramid again! He locked the hold in tightly, and seemed to say something to Stunner. Whatever it was, it couldn’t have been nice, as Stunner’s eyes snapped open and he began to break out of the hold. Sanada was beside himself as Stunner seemed to pull his legs out of the submission and stood up to his feet. Sanada got up and looked at Stunner with wide eyes, and was met with one of the coldest stares you could think of. Stunner charged towards Sanada, going for a clothesline, Sanada ducked it and a smile came across his face, but that smile turned to shock when Stunner pulled him down into a Reverse Okazawaya Stunner! The fans erupted as he made the cover, and got the pinfall! The match was now tied at 1-1, the person who scores the next fall will win. [b]Second Fall:[/b] Stunner Okazawaya by pinfall in 11:12 Stunner got back up from the cover and looked around as he saw the fans cheering his name and several people were holding up signs that said “Simply Stunning!” or “Sanada fears the Stunner!”. A smile crossed his face, and he looked down at Sanada. He pointed and said something along the lines of “Look, they’re behind ME.” Sanada rose to his feet and clotheslined Stunner down to the mat, catching him off guard. Sanada then instantly started kicking away at Stunner’s knees again, intent on weakening them enough so that he couldn’t get out of the Sanada Pyramid. He picked Stunner up and kneed him sharply in the gut, before flipping him over with a gutwrench suplex. He then dropped his elbow twice across Stunner’s chest before going to rest in the corner. When Stunner got back up to his feet, Sanada tried to charged in a spear him down to the mat in order to get the final fall, but Stunner moved out of the way and threw Sanada into the ring post. Sanada staggered backwards, and was nailed with another Reverse Okazawaya Stunner! Stunner draped himself over Sanada’s to make the cover. 1… 2… Thr…NO!! SANADA KICKED OUT! This marked the first time that anyone had kicked out of the Stunner on this tour, and Stunner was visibly upset. He pulled Sanada up to his feet as the crowd chanted “Hit him again!” He went to go for the Stunner again, but Sanada caught him off guard and reversed the attempt, instead driving Stunner down to the mat with sitdown jaw breaker. Stunner bounced away due to the impact of the move, and Sanada grabbed hold of his leg and dragged him into the centre of the ring. He swiftly locked in the Sanada Pyramid, and right away he sat back as far as he could so that he stretched Stunner as much as possible. Stunner desperately looked for a way out, but he was nowhere near any ropes, but he kept struggling. But eventually the pain was far too much for him and he reluctantly tapped out, giving Sanada the final fall and the victory. The fans rose to their feet in appreciation of the two men. Sanada got his hand raised by the referee, but he looked down at Stunner and offered him his hand. He helped Stunner up to his feet and the two embraced before Sanada raised Stunner’s hand. [b]Winner:[/b] Noriyoshi Sanada with 2 falls to one via submission at 15:54 [b]B[/b] [i]- Good match for these two, no chemistry notes at all.[/i] __________________________________________________________ [B][U]Match 7:[/b] Kiba Izumi vs. Kenji Fukamura© For the Burning Pacific Championship[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/kibaizumi.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/kenjifukamura.jpg[/IMG] When these two locked up, it was Kenji who managed to get control right away with a stiff knee shot to the gut. He then clubbed Kiba over the back several times in order to get him down. Kiba showed his strength and experience advantage when he stood firm against the shots, and even managed to stand upright and fire back with a couple of shots of his own. Kenji tried to cover up against the shots, but Kiba managed to hit him in the gut, making him double over in pain. Kiba then lifted Kenji up, flipped him round, and then drove him down onto his knee with a backbreaker. Kenji rolled off of Kiba’s knee in pain. Izumi wouldn’t let up however as he picked Kenji back up and whipped him across the ring. When Kenji came back, Izumi lifted him into the air and drove him onto his knee once again. Kenji began to roll out of the ring to recover, but Izumi refused to let him do so, and pulled him up to his feet. He chopped him across the chest, and then whipped him across the ring again. When Kenji came back he attempted another backbreaker, but Kenji used his momentum to flip through the move and land on his feet. He then kicked Kiba in the back of the knee and then dropkicked him in the back, sending him down to the mat. Kenji then went up top and went for a driving elbow drop, but Izumi rolled out of the way just before he was going to hit it, so Kenji hit the canvas hard. Izumi took advantage of his temporary dazed state and grabbed hold of his leg. He then kicked away at it wildly, trying to damage the knee beyond repair. Izumi then locked him in a kneelock, trying to add more pressure to the knee he had been working on. Kenji desperately fought against it, trying to reach the ropes every single time. Eventually he managed to grab hold of the bottom rope after several failed attempts, forcing Izumi to release him from the hold. He did so, but kicked Kenji in the back of the knee to add insult to injury. He then waited for Kenji to run towards him, and when he did, he moved out of the way and swept Kenji’s legs out from under him. Kenji fell right back down to the mat, grabbing his knee. Kiba pulled him up, and whipped him across the ring. Kenji clearly struggled to run, but did anyway. Kiba then nearly destroyed Kenji when he took the champ over with an STO. Kenji rolled backwards and stood up, shocking Kiba, until falling down to the mat, clearly having only stood up because of the momentum behind the move. Kiba then moved in on Kenji, locking him in a Crowbar, slowly picking Kenji apart at each limb. Kenji struggled, as the move was incredibly painful, as it is usually a finishing move, but Kenji was able to flip out of the hold and dropkicked Kiba’s arm, and then once he was released from the hold he leapt into the air and dropkicked Kiba right in the face. Kiba began to stagger backwards from the impact, using his experience to tell him not to fall over, but Kenji leapt at him with a shoulder block, and this sent the Wolf down to the mat. Kenji then pulled Kiba to the centre of the ring and locked him in a cross kneelock, trying to give Kiba a taste of his own medicine. Kiba was too knowledgeable about submissions to let this happen though, and Izumi promptly managed to break out of the hold and got up to his feet. He charged at Kenji and took the smaller man down with a clothesline before picking him up and whipping him strongly into the corner. Kenji hit the turnbuckles hard, and Izumi began to charge in to squash him with a splash, but Kenji leapt forward and connected with the Superstar Kick! Kiba dropped onto his back and was seemingly knocked because of the amount of momentum he had before getting hit. Kenji dropped onto his chest to make the cover and managed to sneak away with the victory! When Kenji was heading up the ramp Kiba was visibly furious at losing and pointed at Kenji. Kenji just pointed at him and put up two fingers to symbolise this was the second victory Kenji has gotten over Kiba Izumi. [b]Winner:[/b] Kenji Fukamura by pinfall in 13:39. Kenji Fukamura makes defence number 5 of his Burning Pacific Championship [b]C+[/b] [i]- Didn’t seem to click.[/i] __________________________________________________________ [B][U]Match 8:[/b] Bishima vs. Elemental [/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/Bishima.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/Elemental.jpg[/IMG] Both of these men were very determined to take away a victory in this match. Although this was not for a title, nor did the match have a specific stipulation, but it was a battle of pride. Elemental wanted to come away with the victory and continue his 2-Year undefeated streak. Bishima wanted to be the man who ended that streak and wanted to prove once and for all that he is the best super junior, not some masked weirdo. When these two locked up, Elemental tried to outsmart Bishima with an arm wrench, but Bishima flipped right over and then kicked Elemental in the head before locking Elemental in an arm wringer. Elemental back flipped out of that and kicked Bishima in the back as some sort of payback. Elemental kept kicking Bishima alternating between the back and chest, eventually knocking Bishima down to the mat. Elemental went down to the mat with him and put him in a grounded hammerlock. Elemental then showed off his amazing balance by doing a headstand and then rolling forward while keeping the hold locked in. This caused Bishima a large amount of pain as his arm was being stretched to the very limit it would seem. Elemental then pulled Bishima up to his feet, and whipped him across the ring. When Bishima came back, Elemental leapt into the air and connected with a head scissors takedown. Bishima rolled around on the mat after the move and went out of the ring. He recovered for a little while, and then decided to head back into the ring when the referee reached 6. However, he didn’t have a chance to move as Elemental flew over the ropes and crashed into Bishima with a flying body press. The referee restarted his count, and both men eventually crawled back into the ring before he reached 10. When they made it to their feet, they locked up again, and this time Bishima managed to get control with a hammerlock. Elemental tried to reverse it by spinning round and putting the hold on Bishima instead, but Bishima stopped him by applying a lot more pressure. Elemental yelled out in pain, but managed to counter the hold with a couple of elbows delivered sharply to Bishima’s gut. Bishima doubled over, allowing Elemental to leap into the air and deliver a beautiful back flip kick right to the back of Bishima’s head, sending him down to the mat. Elemental picked Bishima up off of the mat and whipped him into the corner, and followed up by running up and back flipping off of Bishima’s chest. Bishima began to walk out of the corner confused, but was forced back into the corner after Elemental dropkicked him, in a move called the Wind Sprint Attack. Bishima fell to the mat and crawled to the centre of the ring. Elemental made sure he was out for long enough by nailing a standing flip senton to his gut, knocking all of the air out of him. Elemental then went up top, and flew off of the top as gracefully as ever with an Inferno Splash. All of the fans were on their feet as he did this, and were about to explode if he hit the move when Bishima suddenly rolled out of the way, making Elemental hit bare canvas. The fans began to boo Bishima very loudly, but he didn’t care, and he locked Elemental in an arm bar, trying to slowly pick him apart so he couldn’t fly for the rest of the match. Elemental flipped out of the arm bar so it would seem, but Bishima instantly leapt up and caught his arm, before dragging him back down to the mat by his arm. He then locked him in a crowbar, and cranked on as much pressure as he possibly could. Elemental was in a lot of pain, but he managed to flip out of this move as well, astonishing Bishima and several of the fans in attendance. Bishima tried to grab his arm again, but Elemental moved too far away for him to do so. He then charged at Bishima and nailed him with a beautiful step-up enziguri. Bishima staggered around, but didn’t go down, so Elemental booted him in the gut and crossed his arms. He then hoisted Bishima into the air and brought him down with the Earth Breaker! Bishima bounced off of the mat from the impact and the fans cheered as Elemental made the cover and got the victory. The streak continues. [b]Winner:[/b] Elemental by pinfall in 16:05 [b]B[/b] [i]- Great match, both men really performed.[/i] __________________________________________________________ [B][U]Match 9:[/b] Black Serpent Cult© vs. Yukata & Onishiki For the Burning Japanese Tag Team titles[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/Cobra-1.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/Viper-1.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/demonyukata.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/onishiki.jpg[/IMG] Yukata & Onishiki are two very formidable opponents, with Yukata normally scaring his opponents, and Onishiki comes in and demolishes whoever is left. Both men were eager to leave the arena as the champions, but they didn’t think it was certain. They had studied the Black Serpent Cult in all of their matches, eventually hoping to get the shot they have here tonight. The BSC on the other hand were completely confident that they would walk away still the champions, as they felt that a DEMON and an old former Sumo wouldn’t be that hard to defeat in the ring. After both teams talked over strategy with each other, it was Cobra and DEMON Yukata who faced off at the start of the match. When they locked up, Cobra managed to easily gain control of Yukata with a headlock. He applied pressure by pressing his arms around Yukata’s head more, but Yukata quickly forced him off when he leant against the ropes and pushed Cobra off and across the ring. When Cobra came back however, he levelled Yukata with a boot to the face. Cobra pulled Yukata up and whipped him into his corner. Cobra tagged out to Viper and both began to kick away at the gut of Yukata. Onishiki tried to come in to help but the referee stopped him. Cobra then climbed out of the ring and Viper went for the cover due to Yukata falling out of the corner after the kicks. Yukata managed to kick out before the 3 count, but it was clear who was in control of the match right now. Viper picked Yukata up and booted him in the gut. He then hoisted him onto his shoulders, before throwing him into the air and bringing his gut down across his knee. Yukata rolled forward from the impact, and he seemed to be knocked clean out. Viper then picked Yukata back up off of the floor and booted him in the gut several times, before sending him up and over with a snap suplex. Viper got back up and began to stomp away at Yukata before going to his corner and tagging Cobra back into the match. Cobra came in while Viper held out Yukata’s arm, and drove his elbow right into the shoulder. Yukata retreated holding his arm while Viper climbed back onto the apron. Cobra put Yukata into an arm wringer and continually drove his elbow into DEMON’s shoulder, trying to damage it permanently. Yukata was able to flip out of the arm wringer and then leapt across the ring and tagged in Onishiki. Cobra backed away when he saw Onishiki come charging into the ring, and tried to tag in Viper, but his partner dropped off of the apron. Onishiki was on fire as he picked Cobra up and slammed him down with a spinebuster before picking him back up and punching him with alternating fists. Cobra then tried to plead for Onishiki to stop, but he didn’t. Cobra was lifted high into the air and then slammed back down with a Press Slam from Onishiki. Cobra crawled over to his corner, where Viper actually was this time and tagged out to him. Viper came in and began to brawl with Onishiki, trading punches. Onishiki initially gained the advantage, but Viper came back with a vicious series of shots that sent the big man reeling. He then charged at him and kicked him right in the jaw, and this time Onishiki was down. And just like that, Onishiki had been stopped dead in his tracks. Viper stomped away at his chest and back whenever he moved, before taking the match to the mat with a knee lock, while continually stomping the other knee with his free foot. When it looked like Onishiki would get out of the hold by using his strength, Viper locked a leg scissors on the leg he was working on, preventing Onishiki from moving or standing up. Viper used this chance to twist the knee as far as possible, and then suddenly moved it the other way, making Onishiki yell out in pain. Viper then stood up and pulled the former sumo up to his feet. He kicked him in the gut before sending him overhead with a snap suplex. Viper then waited for Onishiki to get back up, as he was ready to hit the Snakebite Roundhouse Kick. When Onishiki got up, Viper went for his finisher, but Onishiki ducked it and took Viper down with a powerful spear. He then tagged out to Yukata and went to the outside so he could recover. When Yukata came in, he was met with instant aggression from Cobra who had come in from the apron. Yukata tried to duck a punch from Cobra but received a kick to the gut for his attempt. Cobra woke Viper up and signalled for something. Viper went over to Yukata and pulled him back up so he was standing straight, Cobra then ran and delivered a running boot to the face while Viper swept his legs out from under him, which is their tag team finisher called the Black Serpent Ritual. Cobra then left the ring to deal with Onishiki while Viper made the cover. He got the three count and retained the belts for his team. [b]Winner:[/b] Black Serpent Cult by pinfall on DEMON Yukata by Cobra in 13:33. The Black Serpent Cult make defence number 2 of their Tag Team titles [b]C+[/b] [i]- Disappointing match, could have been a lot better.[/i] __________________________________________________________ [B][U]Match 10:[/b] Seison Yamanaka vs. Shogo Takani Submission Match[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/SeisonYamanaka.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/shogotakani.jpg[/IMG] These two are the greatest submission workers on the roster right now, with Seison being slightly better than Shogo. Both of these men had something to prove here in this match if they won. Shogo would prove that he can still cut it with the main event guys and still has a lot of game left in him, while Seison would prove that he is worthy of a main event spot if he can decimate Shogo. It was definitely going to be a true competition, with each man trying to pick apart the other without getting any damage done to them themselves. When they locked up, Seison managed to get control over the veteran Takani wit ha lightning fast hammerlock. He kept adding pressure by slowly moving Shogo’s arm higher every second. Shogo almost yelped in pain whenever he did this. Seison then took out Shogo’s legs and brought him down to the mat, where he kept the hammerlock locked in. He then showed off his athleticism by flipping over and using the leverage to apply much more pressure than he could when he was standing up. Shogo couldn’t take any more of this and rolled over to the ropes, but Seison wouldn’t let him move much at all. Eventually he managed to use his strength to get his arm out of the hold, and then thrust his elbow into the gut of Seison, sending him straight down into the mat, and knocking all of the air out of him. Shogo then took some time to recover and waited for Seison to get back up. When he did, Shogo charged at him and brought him down to the mat with a dragon screw leg whip. As soon as Seison was done on the mat, Shogo grabbed hold of his leg and stomped away at the knee before running round Seison and pulling his leg back further than it should go as payback for the earlier hammerlock. Shogo then let go and smiled as Seison rolled around in pain, clasping his knee and leg. Shogo then went right back to work on Seison, putting him in an arm bar and pulling on the arm. He pulled Seison back up to his knees using his arm, and then drove the elbow onto his knee, trying to break Seison’s arm. Seison yelled out in pain every time he did this, and desperately tried to pull his arm away from Shogo but Takani just drove his elbow into his knee every time he tried to get away. Shogo then pulled Seison back up to his two feet, before driving him down to the mat with a jumping arm bar takedown. Seison retracted his arm and grabbed it, obviously in a lot of pain. Shogo laughed and pulled Seison into the middle of the ring. He kicked away at the back of Seison’s knee before quickly attempting to lock in the Twisting of the Knife for the victory already. Seison kicked him away and scurried to the ropes so he could pull himself up. Shogo charged in and booted Seison in the gut, and then flipped him over with a gutwrench suplex. Shogo then ran towards the ropes and when he came back he dropped his knee into the side of Seison’s face. Shogo was confident by this point and tried to go for the Twisting of the Knife again, but again Seison scurried away before he could actually lock it in. Shogo picked Seison up to his feet in frustration and whipped him across the ring, when he came back, Shogo tried to knock him down with a boot to the face, but Seison ducked it and used the extended foot to bring Shogo down to the mat with a dragon screw leg whip. Shogo came down almost immediately, and Seison slapped him in a leg lock variation to try and weaken the leg for his Red Sun Rising. Shogo managed to make his way up to his feet but he was brought back down with a chop block from out of nowhere by Seison. Seison then took advantage of this and started to stomp away at the back and leg of Shogo to further weaken the limbs. Shogo then went to kick Seison away, but Seison managed to grab the leg and used it as leverage to turn Shogo over! Seison then leaned back and locked in the Red Sun Rising! Shogo struggled and struggled, but he was too far away from the ropes to reach out, and Seison was sat on his back so he couldn’t move anywhere. He put up a long and tough fight, constantly resisting the urge to tap, but after 3 minutes of fighting the hold, he finally tapped out, getting a large amount of cheers from the crowd. [b]Winner:[/b] Seison Yamanaka by submission in 15:40 [b]B+[/b] [i]- Great match, Shogo really impressed here.[/i] __________________________________________________________ [B][U]Match 11:[/b] Dayu Ichihara vs. Connor Thompson[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/DayuIchihara.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/connorthompson.jpg[/IMG] Both of these men were very intent on coming away as the victors here, as a win for either of them could propel them back into the title picture, or at least make them seem as more eligible contenders. Dayu was very eager to get back in the title picture so he could get back what he still thought was his belt, despite it being about 3 year since he lost it. Connor wanted to get the win here to prove he can still wrestle for ‘some old guy’ and felt that a win over the man who is considered to be on the same level as Kitozon in singles action would mean that he had proven he was a great wrestler to the fans and too himself. Before locking up, both men began to circle each other, and both made several attempts to psyche out their opponents by faking they were about to rush in. Dayu faked, which didn’t have any effect on Connor, who clearly had his head in the game. Dayu then charged into the tie-up, but came out on the losing end after Thompson pulled his head down into a headlock. Dayu fought to get out of the hold, but Connor used the headlock as leverage to bring Dayu up and over with a powerful vertical suplex, making Dayu hit the mat hard. Connor pulled him back up and booted him in the gut before whipping him across the ring. Connor attempted a clothesline on Dayu when he came back, but Dayu ducked it and came back with a clothesline of his own when he bounced off of the ropes behind Connor. He knocked Connor down to the mat, but the wily Australian got right back up to his feet and got ready for whatever Dayu was going to throw at him next. Dayu charged in and went for a clothesline again, but Connor managed to duck it and surprised Dayu from behind, before bringing him down with a reverse DDT out of nowhere. Connor made the cover, but Dayu kicked out almost immediately. Connor then backed off and waited for Dayu to get back up. When he did, he ran at him from behind and levelled him with a vicious lariat to the back of the head. Dayu crashed to the mat, and began to hold his neck in pain. Connor dropped his elbow across the back of Dayu’s neck several times in order heighten the pain. Connor then picked Dayu up again and whipped him across the ring into the corner. When Connor charged in to hit him with a clothesline, Dayu moved out of the way, making Connor crash into the turnbuckles and lose his balance. When he came stumbling back, Dayu wrapped his arms around his waist and hoisted him into the air and then brought him crashing down with a German Suplex. Dayu pulled Connor back up to his feet and whipped him across the ring after a boot to the gut. When Connor came back, Dayu used all of his strength to lift him high into the air and then brought him down to the mat with a side walk slam. Connor bounced off of the mat from the impact, and Dayu made the cover. He only got a 2 count, but the momentum had shifted significantly. Dayu picked Connor back up and elbows him in the gut before whipping him across the ring again. Dayu attempts to go for a back body drop when Connor comes back but Connor kicked him stiffly in the chest. Connor then booted Dayu in the gut and heaves him up and over again with a suplex. He goes for a quick cover but Dayu manages to kick out right away. Connor pulled Dayu back up to his feet and punched him in the jaw, before pulling him forward into an uppercut, causing him to fall back to the mat. Connor pulled Dayu back up to his feet and whipped him across the ring again. When Dayu came back Connor lifted him up into the air and drove him down to the mat with a spinebuster before going for a cover. Dayu kicked out at 2 once again, showing his determination. Connor was beginning to get angry at this point, and pulled Dayu up to his feet. He kicked him in the gut, but then turned him round to go for a Full Nelson Suplex, but Dayu reversed it almost immediately with a jaw breaker when he dropped down. Connor fell backwards due to the pain, and Dayu rolled to the outside to recover. Dayu then shook off the cobwebs before getting back into the ring and pulling Connor up to his feet. Dayu tried to kick Connor in the gut, but Connor caught the foot and spun Dayu round before driving him down to the mat with a neckbreaker. Dayu grabbed his head in pain, which allowed Connor to pull him back up to his feet. Connor then attempted to hit Dayu with the Thunder From Down Under, but Dayu reversed it and clubbed Connor in the back with a massive punch. Connor staggered forwards, which allowed Dayu to put him into a full nelson. Connor struggled and desperately tried to get out of the submission, but when it seemed like he would, Dayu lifted him up into the air and drove him down to the mat with a Full Nelson Suplex. Dayu then got ready to hit the Ichihara Power Drive and waited for Connor to get up, but when he lifted Connor up to hit his finisher, Connor reversed it and landed behind Dayu. When Dayu turned around, Connor surprised him and hit the Thunder From Down Under! Dayu bounced off of the mat fro the impact and Connor made the cover. 1… 2… Thr….NO Dayu kicked out just at the last minute, eliciting a huge amount of boos from the crowd. Connor pulled Dayu back up to his feet and whipped him across the ring. When Connor attempted a sidewalk slam, Dayu countered and drove Connor down to the mat with a DDT. Dayu then got ready to go for his finisher again, and when Connor got up to his feet, Dayu booted him in the gut and hoisted him up into the air. Dayu then quickly drove Connor into the mat with the Ichihara Power Drive variation, a Michinoku Driver, and made the cover. He got the victory which made the crowd boo loudly. [b]Winner:[/b] Dayu Ichihara by pinfall in 27:46 [b]A[/b] [i]- Fantastic match, Dayu finally performs to the level he should always be performing at.[/i] __________________________________________________________ [B][U]Main Event:[/b] Master Kitozon© vs. Toshiro Saito For the Burning World Championship [/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/MasterKitozon.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/toshirosaito.jpg[/IMG] This match was the most anticipated match in recent memory, as it was seen as the soon to be classic Monster vs. Icon match, with Toshiro Saito being the menacing destructive force, and Master Kitozon being the underdog per se, due to being smaller, but much more popular and talented. Toshiro and Kitozon have had matches in the past, as Toshiro was one of Master Kitozon’s regular opponents during the 60’s, when he sometimes worked as POWER Saito. While Master Kitozon has kept his legendary status, Toshiro was reduced to being a tag partner for Akira Shirou, the failing midcard flop. But Toshiro saw this match as a chance to really prove himself. If he could win the belt from a living legend in Japan’s capital city, he would have finally proven that he was always better than Master Kitozon, it just took him this long to realise it. Master Kitozon on the other hand, saw this match another way to beat Toshiro when it mattered, and to prove to the fans and to Saito why he ended up the victor in their classic feud. Both men circled each other for a long time, trying to scout each other out, as despite facing each other numerous times, they had both learned that you can never expect somebody to wrestle exactly the same way each time. When they locked up, it was Toshiro who managed to get control, nailing Kitozon across the head with a forearm shot before whipping him across the ring. When Kitozon came back, Toshiro lifted him high into the air, probably about 7 feet up, and then dropped him down to the mat with a modified front slam. Kitozon bounced off of the mat from the impact, and Saito pulled him back up to his feet with relative ease, only to clothesline him back down to the mat. Kitozon got up to one knee, and Saito tried to send him back down with a kick to the chest, but Kitozon stood firm, not showing any effect of the shot. Saito tried again, but Kitozon caught his foot and used his free leg to attempt to trip Toshiro up. Saito stumbled backwards, but didn’t go down. Kitozon then attempted to tackle him to the ground, but Saito stood firm against him and pushed him away after a struggle. Kitozon tried again, but Saito took him down with a clothesline. He pulled the icon up to his feet and whipped him into the corner with all of his strength, causing Kitozon to hit the turnbuckles hard. Saito followed up with a splash in the corner, nearly crushing Kitozon. Saito then pulled the nearly limp body of Kitozon out of the corner and pulled him up to his feet. He went for a punch, but Kitozon managed to duck it and chopped Saito in the chest, making him stagger backwards. Kitozon nailed him with yet another chop to the chest, and this made Saito drop back onto the ropes. Kitozon then tried to whip Saito across the ring, but Toshiro reversed it and whipped Kitozon across the ring. When Kitozon came back, Saito picked up the former sumo with relative ease and went to throw him down with a front slam, but Kitozon hit him hard with a chop to the forehead, causing Saito to drop Kitozon to the floor. Kitozon managed to get up quite quickly and began to kick at the legs of Saito. Toshiro began to stagger backwards and his knees began to buckle after constant shots to them. Kitozon then used this advantage to take Saito down with one final kick to the chest. Saito tumbled over and hit the mat with a thud. Kitozon then instantly went to work on his legs, pulling Saito into the middle of the ring and constantly kicking at the back of his knees as he did so. Kitozon grabbed hold of Saito’s left leg and pulled it as far as he could, and then dropped his elbow across the knee before locking Toshiro in a knee lock. Saito managed to reach the ropes due to being so tall, but Kitozon pulled him away from the ropes so that he couldn’t reach them. Kitozon then continually kicked him in the knees to make sure he was too weak to stand and then locked him into another knee lock. Saito struggled and was in a lot of pain due to Kitozon damaging his knees, and desperately tried to reach the ropes, but was just out of reach. Kitozon picked Saito up and booted him in the gut, making the larger man double over due to the damage he had suffered in such a short space of time, and then Master Kitozon used all of his strength to heave him over with a massive suplex, making the big man hit the mat with a thud which made the crowd erupt with cheers. Kitozon attempted a cover, but Saito threw him off after the ref counted two. Saito then slowly made his way up to his feet, but was dropped back down to one knee when Kitozon kicked him in the back of the knee. Kitozon then tried to knock the big man back down with a clothesline, but Toshiro stopped Kitozon in his tracks by clasping his hand around his throat. Kitozon gasped for air, but still showed the same expressionless face. Saito then made his way up to both feet, although he was noticeably shaky on one leg, and then heaved Kitozon high into the air and drove him down to the mat with a chokeslam! The crowd began to boo loudly as they felt that Saito was just about to win. Saito made the cover by hooking the leg of Kitozon. 1… 2… NO! Somehow, Master Kitozon kicked out just after the two count was made! Saito was very frustrated and pulled Kitozon to his feet, but was met with several chops to the chest, forcing him to back off of the icon. Kitozon charged at him, and when Saito went to counter with a clothesline, Kitozon countered that by dropping down to his knee and tackling Saito’s legs, taking advantage of the big man’s weakness. Saito dropped down to the mat almost immediately, and Kitozon stood tall over the fallen giant. Kitozon then pulled Saito back into the middle of the ring so he was away from the ropes, and locked him in a cross kneelock, aiming to exploit the damages he has caused Saito so far. Toshiro struggled, but eventually managed to reach the ropes after a long struggle, which caused Kitozon to look slightly angry, but still very much expressionless. Saito managed to use the ropes to pull himself up. Kitozon tried to send him over the ropes with a clothesline, but the move seemed to have no effect whatsoever on Saito, much to the anger of both Kitozon and the fans. Kitozon then chopped Saito in the chest and whipped him across the ring. Saito almost fell flat on his face several times due to his bad knee, only to be hit with a sharp chop to his chest when he came back. Kitozon then summoned all of his strength and lunged at Saito, taking the monster down with a massive running STO. Saito landed right on his head due to the momentum of Kitozon, while Kitozon just seemed to be exhausted from using up all of his energy. The referee began to make the count, although he appeared very reluctant to do so. 1… 2… 3… 4… 5… 6…Master Kitozon makes his way to his feet 7… 8… 9…Kitozon pulls Saito up to his feet. Kitozon then goes to whip Saito into the corner, but Toshiro reverses him and whips Kitozon into the corner instead. He tries to follow up with the same splash he did earlier, but Kitozon moved out of the way. Saito couldn’t get the same speed as before due to his damaged knee. Kitozon pulled Saito out of the corner and clubbed him in the back. This appeared to wake Saito up however, as he turned around and punched Kitozon right across the face, sending the champ reeling. Saito then charged in and, using his momentum to his advantage, nearly destroyed Kitozon with a clothesline, practically turning the champ inside out. Saito made the cover, but Kitozon managed to kick out at two. Saito was visibly angry at this point and pulled Kitozon up to his feet, he booted him in the gut several times to make him lose breath. Having seemingly learned a way to deal with the pain dealt to his knees earlier, Saito lifted Kitozon high into the air. He then turned him around and it looked like he was going for another Saito-Plex, but he quickly changed the move by pushing Kitozon into the air and then jumping back, in a cutter type move, which he calls the POWER Crush. Kitozon bounced off of the mat from this move, and Saito went for the cover. The fans booed again, as Kitozon seemed to be completely defenceless against this monster. Saito made the cover, and the referee made the count. 1… 2… Thr…NO! Kitozon kicked out again! Saito was beside himself with rage and stood up, but due to standing up to quickly, he hurt his knee and instantly fell down to the mat again. Kitozon then sat up and stood up on both feet, sporting a smile. The fans erupted as he seemed to have been playing possum all of this time. Saito looked at him evilly, but was in a lot of pain. Kitozon stomped away at his chest before pulling him back up to his feet. Kitozon booted Saito in the gut three times, making him double over, and then clubbed him in the back with a massive double axe handle. He then whipped Saito across the ring, before levelling him with a chop when he came back. Kitozon then pulled Saito back up to his feet once again, and whipped him across the ring again, seemingly attempting the same move again. When Saito came back, he ducked it, but Kitozon expected this and turned around, chopping Saito across the back in the process. Saito staggered forwards and grabbed his knee and back at the same time, before Kitozon kicked him in the back of the knee, and then drilled him in the back of the head with a punch. Kitozon began to relax and waited for Saito to get back up. When Toshiro did manage to get up to his feet, Kitozon charged at him, eager to end the match with a running Kitozon Chop. However, at the last second, Saito turned around and ducked Kitozon’s finisher, and then caught the veteran champion off guard by lifting him up into the air and driving him back down with a devastating backbreaker onto his stronger knee. Kitozon grabbed his back in pain, while Saito fell back on his butt, recovering from his bad knee. Kitozon began to get up again, so Saito stood up. When Kitozon made his way up to one knee, Saito battered him back down to the mat with a vicious double axe handle, and then lifted the champ back up to his feet. Saito then whipped Kitozon across the ring and seemed ready to go for the Saito-Plex once again. When Kitozon came back, Saito booted him in the gut and lifted him high into the air. He tried to go for the move, but his knee gave way again, and Kitozon dropped to the floor, landing on his feet. Saito looked straight into the eyes of Kitozon, and was chopped across the chest one more time, before Kitozon ran across the ring and into the ropes. Saito tried to get up, but Kitozon was too fast and levelled him with the Kitozon Chop before he even knew Kitozon had come back. Saito looked to be out from the impact, which must have meant Kitozon put a lot of power behind the move. Kitozon then hooked Saito’s massive leg and made the cover as the crowd counted along. 1… 2… 3!!! Master Kitozon had beaten his old nemesis once again, and retained his title. [b]Winner:[/b] Master Kitozon by pinfall in 22:45. Master Kitozon makes defence number 3 of his Burning World Championship [b]B+ [/b] [b]Overall:[/b] B [b]Notes:[/b] An impressive card, some underperformed, some performed better than they have done in a while. Was almost a B+ card in my opinion, the opening matches must have brought the crowd down. Sorry for the late post, my sister fainted earlier today, on my dad's birthday none the less, so I waited with her while a doctor came. And then I went out to dinner with my parents and my other sister lol. Would appreciate feedback about this event as a whole, as I spent a lot of time writing it up. Predictions wise, Midnightnick got 10/12, giving you 15/19 overall, meaning you get to pick an upper midcard match that you would like to see in two weeks time. SadisticBlessings got 9/12, giving you 14/19 overall for the week, meaning you get to pm me an uppermidcard match you would like to see. Predictions for next week of shows will be up next.[/center] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noriyoshi Sanada ended the 13-0 streak of Stunner Okazawaya, making him submit to score the final fall in their match, and the Black Serpent Cult and Kenji Fukamura succesfully defended their titles. Dayu Ichihara also overcame Connor Thompson in the best match this tour according to many backstage. Seison Yamanaka also managed to best the veteran Shogo Takani in a fantastic submission match The biggest match of all however, was where we saw Master Kitozon manage to topple the giant Toshiro Saito and retain his belt in the process.

SadisticBlessings Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 Awesome show Gremlinator, seriously! I'd honestly argue that this diary's writing is better than the vast majority of the "Diary of the Month" nominations... Saito came off as a beast. 22 minutes? Dear god, he must've been half dead by the end. Still, damn good ratings, I'm in tears that you only got a B. If Ichihara - Thompson had been the ME, it would've been a B+, no doubt. One note: did you mean to book Kiba Izumi twice on the Saturday card? He's facing Sanada, THEN teaming against Elemental & Yamanaka in the next match with Ichihara. Poor guy. :D And good to see Tasuku booked. He was doing quite well for a while, then just dropped off the cards for a while. Thursday Sensei Iketani & Byron Valmont vs. [b]Akahashi Kuno & Edo Phoenix[/b] [i]Nice... some high flying action! Kuno delivered big time at SoD with that B rating, I expect a small push for him?[/i] [b]Satoru Sugimura[/b] vs. Black Manta [i]Sugimura also seems to be on his way up.[/i] [b]Eiji Kiriyama[/b] vs. Takehide Minobe (Randomly generated former kick boxer) [i]I could see Minobe take this one as a shocker, since for all I know he could have quite a bit of popularity in Japan. But Eiji is the safe bet.[/i] Kiba Izumi vs. [b]Noriyoshi Sanada[/b] [i]Sanada's streak should be prolonged as long as possible before putting him up against a tough challenger like Takani or Yamanaka.[/i] [B]Tasuku Nandaba[/B] vs. Onishiki [i]Like I said, he's kinda been slipping under the radar lately. A few wins won't hurt him.[/i] Dayu Ichihara & Toshiro Saito vs. [b]Master Kitozon & Connor Thompson[/b] [i]Thus far Kitozon has been undefeated, and I don't see that changing in this particular match. This could even earn an A rating, as they're all very talented. Looking forward to the write up for this one more than any other match.[/i] Saturday Byron Valmont vs. [b]Edo Phoenix[/b] [i]Edo FTW! He's been slightly under-used, but with the junior division in its young stages it's understandable. Byron could learn a thing or two from him, though.[/i] [b]Stunner Okazawaya[/b] vs. Atsushi Nagamichi [i]Either Stunner rebounds quickly, or gets hit with a losing streak angle. I'd say the former, as you seem to like Okazawaya quite a bit.[/i] Sensei Iketani vs. [b]Akahashi Kuno[/b] [i]Iketani seems to be your new enhancement talent for the juniors, so Kuno should win this one handily. Sensei needs more stamina before he gets a real push.[/i] Takehide Minobe vs. [b]Paul Kingsley[/b] [i]Again, it's tough to predict how a randomly generated worker will be pushed. Could be he's gonna make a big impact, but more likely he'll pay his dues first.[/i] [b]Noriyoshi Sanada[/b] vs. Tatsumaki Mibu [i]Great choice of opponent for Sanada, should be a B rated contest at least despite their lack of great overness.[/i] Elemental & Seison Yamanaka vs. [b]Dayu Ichihara & Kiba Izumi[/b] [i]After a match with Sanada I doubt Izumi will be much good to Ichihara, but after taking a probable loss on Thursday this is probably how he'll get his momentum back up. Cool to see Elemental involved with the big guys, though![/i] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After each team spoke to their partners, it was decided that Akahashi Kuno and Byron Valmont would start off the match. Both men circled each other for a long time, trying to sneak attacks in here and there in an attempt to steal the advantage. Byron let his arrogance get the better of him and charged in quickly, allowing Kuno to sweep his legs out from under him and attempt a quick pinfall. Byron kicked out almost immediately, and sprang up to his feet. He then tried to sweep Kuno’s feet from under him, but only succeeded in grabbing one leg. Kuno hopped up and down, before spinning around and nailing Byron right in the side of the head with a lightning fast enziguri. Byron stood bolt upright, with a very dazed expression on his face before beginning to shake for some reason. Kuno looked at him with a confused expression, before dropkicking him square in the chest, knocking him down to the mat. Byron quickly got back up to his feet however, and charged at Kuno again. Kuno ducked a flying lariat attempt, which sent Byron back to the mat, landing on his arm. Kuno pulled Byron up to his feet and whipped him across the ring. When Byron came back, Kuno leapfrogged him, and then ducked under his feet when he came back again. When Byron came back again Kuno leapt onto his shoulders and pulled off a picture perfect head scissors takedown. Byron rolled around on the mat for a little while due to the impact of the move, before Kuno leapt onto him and attempted a pin. Byron kicked out just before the referee’s hand hit the mat for a third time. Kuno sat back and had a look of disappointment on his face. He then pulled Valmont up to his feet and led him over to his corner. Kuno tagged out to Edo, and then wrenched Byron’s arm around. Edo climbed up onto the top rope, and then flew off and connected with a kick straight to Byron’s arm, causing Byron to pull his arm back and yell out in pain. Edo pulled him up to his feet and whipped him across the ring, when he came back Edo quickly lifted him into the air and connected with a beautiful suplex out of nowhere. Byron grabbed his back, and Edo quickly went for a pinfall. Byron kicked out once again, but Edo just grabbed his head and pulled him up by the hair. Edo booted Byron in the gut, causing him to double over, before lifting his leg into the air and driving it into the back of Byron’s head. Byron collapsed to the mat, seemingly knocked out. Edo pulled him back up and whipped him into the corner. Byron hit the turnbuckles hard, and tried to get back out. Edo charged in and dropkicked him in the chest, sending him into the turnbuckles once again. Edo then put Byron on the top rope and backed away. He then charged in and went for a hurracanrana, but Byron had recovered and stayed where he was. Edo was hanging upside down, before flipped him over while leaping off of the top rope, and nailed him with an impressive facebuster. Edo bounced off of the mat due to the impact, and Byron tried to get the tag in on his partner. Kuno flew into the ring however and dropkicked Byron in the back, forcing him down to the mat. Kuno then pulled Byron up to his feet and whipped him across the ring. Kuno tried to hit Byron with a flapjack, but Byron leapfrogged Kuno when he came back and tagged in Sensei. Iketani leapt over the ropes and connected with a beautiful dropkick to Kuno. He then pulled Edo up to his feet and whipped him across the ring. Sensei ran to the ropes opposite and nailed Edo with a visually stunning spinning elbow smash right to the face. Sensei then went up top and seemed ready to go for the Sensei Lesson, a flip-over scissors kick, but Edo leapt up to the top rope just before he could get ready. Edo then leapt onto his neck in one fluid motion and pulled off a beautiful Super Hurracanrana. Sensei hit the mat hard and Edo went for the cover. Byron tried to break it up, but he was nailed with a Glittering Magician from Kuno. Edo got the 3 count and the victory for his team. After the match was finished the fans got up on their feet and applauded the efforts of all of these men. [b]Winner:[/b] Akahashi Kuno & Edo Phoenix by pinfall on Sensei Iketani by Edo Phoenix in 13:31 [b]B-[/b] – [i] A great match between these two teams. [/i] _______________________________________________ [B][U]Match 2:[/b] Satoru Sugimura vs. Black Manta[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/satorusugimura.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/blackmanta.jpg[/IMG] Satoru had had a bit of bad luck during the last few weeks, losing a string of matches. However, he bounced back when it counted, at Sword of Destiny, when he pinned Sensei Iketani. Satoru is a young up and comer in the promotion, and he has begun to show great improvement in the ring during his last few matches. Black Manta on the other hand, hasn’t been seen much, and if it has, it’s usually been a loss. Manta is eager to change that tonight with a victory over Satoru here tonight. Both men began to circle each other for a while, until finally charging towards each other and locking up. Manta tried to take Satoru over with a hip toss, but Satoru landed on his feet and kicked Manta square in the gut with a strong back kick. Manta doubled over, and Satoru charged towards the ropes. When he came back, he leapt into the air and kicked Manta in the face in the process, causing Manta to flip backwards and land on his head. Satoru pulled him back up and whipped him across the ring. When Manta came back, Satoru leapfrogged him. Manta built up some steam when he came back, and resisted an arm drag attempt. Satoru tried again, but ended up being taken down by Manta with an arm drag of his own. Manta locked Satoru into a tight arm bar, and Satoru tried to reach for the ropes, but was too far away to do so. Satoru then made his way back up to his feet, struggling against the hold, as Manta was intent on keeping him down. He elbowed Manta twice in the gut after a brief contest of strength, and then ran to the ropes. When he came back, he was dropped right back down to the mat with a shoulder block from Manta, but got back up fairly quickly. He then charged towards Manta again, and when Manta tried to clothesline him down, Satoru used his arm as leverage to pull him down to the mat with a leaping arm drag. Satoru then locked Manta into a strong reverse arm bar, and continued to apply pressure whenever he could. Manta managed to fight his way back up to his feet and reversed the hold into a hammerlock on Satoru. Sugimura managed to reverse that however, as he grabbed Manta’s head and then dropped down to the mat and hit him with a sit-out jaw breaker. Satoru attempted to get a quick pinfall on Manta, but he kicked out before 2. Manta rolled around on the mat for a while, holding his jaw in agony before eventually getting up to his feet, using the ring ropes to pull himself up. Satoru charged towards him, and Manta tried to trick him by pulling the ropes down, but Satoru stopped just short of the ropes, and then kicked Manta in the head. Satoru pulled Manta back up to his feet and whipped him across the ring. He then ran across the ring himself, and when Manta came back, Satoru nailed him with an amazing dropkick, which connected with Manta’s jaw. Satoru quickly attempted a pinfall again, but once again Manta kicked out. Satoru pulled him up to his feet and booted him in the gut. He then locked Manta into an abdominal stretch, but Manta quickly reversed it into a hip toss, and sent Satoru down to the mat. Manta then backed up and shook out the cobwebs before focusing on Satoru again. Sugimura had recovered quite quickly and charged towards Manta. He attempted to go for a clothesline, but Manta ducked it just before he would have hit. Manta seemed to smile after it and tried to boot Satoru in the gut when he turned around, but he was hit with the Sugimura Slice from out of nowhere! But Satoru wasn’t finished for some reason, as he dragged Manta into the middle of the ring. He then put Manta into a modified Surfboard, where Satoru wraps his legs around the chest of his opponent, called the Masked Assassin. Manta desperately tried to get to the ropes, or to at least find some way of reversing the hold, but he was unable to due to the amount of pain being inflicted. Eventually he succumbed to that very pain and tapped out vigorously. Satoru released the hold and stood up, raising his hands in the air. He was met with boos throughout the arena, but he didn’t seem to care. [b]Winner:[/b] Satoru Sugimura by pinfall in 8:47 [b]C-[/b] [i]- Poor poor match, but it was probably lack of overness[/i] _______________________________________________ [B][U]Match 3:[/b] Eiji Kiriyama vs. Takehide Minobe[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/eijikiriyama.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/TakehideMinobe.jpg[/IMG] These two men are some of our most vicious people on the entire roster. Eiji Kiriyama has been working his way up the roster in recent weeks, and is a rising star if he can become more of an all-rounded wrestler. Takehide is a new member to the roster, and is a former kickboxer. He is well known in that world, and that popularity followed him into professional wrestling. Both of these men know how to kick and throw a punch, which basically turned this match into an attempt of one-upmanship, seeing which one could knock the other out first. Both men circled each other for a long time, scouting each other out, as this is the first time in a long time that these two have faced off. Eiji put his hands up to see if he could best Minobe in a test of strength, but Minobe caught him off guard with a kick to his leg. Eiji limped backwards for a moment, feeling a lot of pain where Minobe kicked him. Minobe simply got ready to do it again, as he was ready to take it to Eiji. Eiji managed to recover fairly quickly, and then charged in with a clothesline. Takehide ducked it, and then connected with a kick to the back of Eiji’s knees out of nowhere. Eiji dropped down to one knee, and rubbed the back of the knee that Minobe kicked, before getting back up again. He looked at Minobe, and stared a hole right through him before charging in again. Minobe tried to go for another kick, this time aimed at Eiji’s face, but Eiji ducked under the kick and grabbed Minobe’s leg and then dropped him down to the mat with a dragon screw leg whip. Eiji kept hold of the leg as well and locked in a tight knee lock on him. Minobe tried to reach for the ropes; luckily he was just close enough to reach them.. He grabbed the bottom rope and forced Eiji to break the hold. Eiji pulled him into the middle of the ring, and tried to lock in the same move again, intent on taking away Minobe’s advantage. But Takehide scrambled away before he could lock the move in tight enough and stood up. Eiji ran in and tried to take him down with another dragon screw, but Minobe leapt over him and kicked him in the back of the head when he came back down. Eiji fell to the mat, seemingly knocked out from the impact of the move. Minobe pulled Eiji back up to his feet and then whipped him across the ring. When he came back, he kicked him in the chest, sending him flying. He quickly pulled him back up to his feet, before kicking him in the chest again. He then kicked him in the back, followed by another shot to the chest, and then leapt high into the air and kicked Eiji right in the side of the head, flipping him over. Eiji was almost out cold once again, but came to and shook his head. Minobe pulled him back up to his feet and booted him in the gut, before lifting him into the air. He tried to hit a suplex, but Eiji reversed the move and landed behind Minobe. Eiji then punched him in the back of the head, and pulled him down to the mat with an STO out of nowhere, causing Minobe to roll backwards from the move. Eiji stood up and waited for Minobe to get back up, and when he did, he ran in and tried to punch him right in the face, but Minobe ducked it and kicked him in the back of the knees again. Eiji showed no sign of pain however and turned right around, landing his fist right in the cheek of Minobe. Takehide dropped to the mat, and struggled to get back up, but when he did, he was sent right back down due to Eiji unleashing a Merciless Barrage on him. Minobe tried his best to cover up and stay awake, but Eiji landed too many shots to his skull, and ended up knocking him out. The ref ended the match due to knockout, and for the 4th match in a row, Eiji had knocked out his opponent. [b]Winner:[/b] Eiji Kiriyama by knockout in 13:12 [b]B-[/b] – [i]Really good match.[/i] _____________________________________ [B][U]Match 4:[/b] Noriyoshi Sanada vs. Kiba Izumi [/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/noriyoshisanada.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/kibaizumi.jpg[/IMG] Sanada was riding a huge head of steam heading into this match. He is currently on a 12-0 winning streak, and managed to best Stunner Okazawaya in a 2 out of 3 falls match at Sword of Destiny, a match that would be one of the highest rated in their careers, and on that show itself. Kiba Izumi on the other hand is one of the most feared submissionists on the roster, and is known for his feral attitude and his ability to slap on any move at a moments notice. Both men are great technical workers as well, which would be a huge help, as they would put on a technical masterpiece. Both men circled each other to start with, before Izumi charged in and tried to take Sanada by surprise with a dropkick. Sanada moved out of the way however, and took Izumi down with a neckbreaker when he made his way back up to his feet. Sanada then stood back up after the move and stomped away at Izumi’s chest before dropping his knee into the face of Izumi. Sanada then locked him in a rear chinlock, constantly driving his knee into the neck of Izumi to apply as much pressure as possible. Izumi managed to show his own knowledge and fought his way back up to both feet. He elbowed Sanada twice in the gut and then ran across the ring, before charging back with a forearm smash. Sanada fell to the mat following the move, but quickly scrambled back up to his feet. Izumi charged in, yet again attempting to take Sanada off of his feet, this time with an arm drag, but Sanada stood firm and instead put Izumi in a reverse arm bar. Izumi shook his fist in pain, before fighting his way back up to standing yet again. He tried to elbow Sanada in the gut like last time, but Sanada released the hold quickly and grabbed Izumi’s arm, and used it to pull him down to the mat with an armbar takedown. Sanada pushed the arm as far away from his body as possible, while also pulling the elbow in towards him. Izumi yelled out in pain every time he applied pressure, before attempting to break the hold by rolling over. Sanada kept the hold locked in, and refused to let go. But Izumi kept rolling, knowing that if he stayed in the move for too long, he would have to tap out, something he really didn’t want to do, and eventually landed near the ropes, grabbing onto the bottom one to force Sanada to break the hold. Sanada reluctantly obliged, but solidified his control of the match by stomping away at Izumi’s elbow. He then pulled Izumi back up to his feet before whipping him across the ring. When Izumi came back, Sanada took him down with a hip toss, but kept hold of the arm again, seemingly targeting that arm, and locked Izumi in a reverse armbar. Izumi managed to quickly get out of the hold after a brief struggle, as he began to figure out how to counter Sanada each time he locked in a move, and then elbowed Sanada three times in the gut with his free arm. He then ran to the ropes, and when he attempted to go for a clothesline, Sanada ducked under it and elbowed him in the back of the head. Izumi stumbled forward, and fell prey to a chop block by Sanada, but didn’t fall down, instead dropping to one knee. Sanada then tried to take him down with a running kick to the knee, but Izumi surprised him when he rolled out of the way, and then sprang up into the air, nailing Sanada with a clothesline while doing so. Sanada dropped to the mat, and Izumi made his way back up to his feet, but seemed to have a limp. Sanada tried to get back up, but Izumi knocked him back down with a double axe handle. Izumi then pulled Sanada up to his feet and booted him in the gut, causing him to double over. He then grabbed Sanada’s head and slammed it onto his knee, but then pushed him backwards, and forced Sanada’s back onto his knee. He wasn’t done yet, as he pulled Sanada back up, and then drilled him with a Flatliner, this combination of moves is called the Savage Wolf Attack. Izumi went for the cover and looked to end Sanada’s streak. 1… 2… Thr…NO Sanada just got his shoulder up. Izumi looked up at the referee and tried to make the count three, and began to throw a fit. Sanada made his way up to his feet, and quickly took Izumi down to the mat after a kick to the back of the knees. He then pulled Izumi right into the middle of the ring, rolled him over, crossed his legs, and then locked in the Sanada Pyramid! Izumi yelled out in pain as the crowd went nuts. He constantly tried to reach the ropes, but he couldn’t move and was too far away to touch the ropes. Izumi fought for a long time, but eventually tapped out reluctantly. [b]Winner:[/b] Noriyoshi Sanada by submission in 13:32 [b]B[/b] [I]- Sanada is really performing better than expected.[/I] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Match 5:[/b] Tasuku Nandaba vs. Onishiki [/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/TasukuNandaba.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/onishiki.jpg[/IMG] Both of these men are huge competitors, and are equally feared. Tasuku is one of the fastest rising stars in BHOTWG right now, and is known for his ferocious strikes that he uses during his matches. He has never been beaten, and in recent weeks he has managed to fell people like Toshiro Saito and Connor Thompson with those blows. Onishiki is a former sumo competitor who followed Master Kitozon to BHOTWG. He has recently been on a roll in terms of competing, although he hasn’t won every match he has had, he has tended to destroy his opponents, only losing when they overcome him due to a speed advantage. Both men just looked at each other for a while, before both charged in and locked up. There was a long struggle, as both men tried to overpower the other. Both Onishiki and Tasuku managed to get a slight advantage, pushing the other man down to their knees using their power. But eventually Tasuku managed to overcome Onishiki and pushed him away. Onishiki charged back in, but Tasuku clotheslined him right across the chest. Onishiki didn’t go down, and just staggered backwards. Tasuku charged in again, and managed to take the big man down with a huge leaping clothesline. Tasuku got back up and booted Onishiki in the gut before whipping him across the ring. When Onishiki came back, Tasuku whipped him back into the ropes again, trying to speed him up. When he came back again, Tasuku used all of his power to lift the big man high into the air and then slammed him down with a spinning spinebuster. Onishiki bounced off of the mat and grabbed his stomach due to a loss of air. Tasuku pulled him back up to his feet and booted him in the gut, and then nailed him in the back of the head with a double axe handle. Onishiki only went down to one knee, so Tasuku ran towards the ropes, and then came back with a vicious running high knee, which spun Onishiki around before he dropped to the mat. Tasuku then dropped three elbows right into Onishiki’s gut before lifting him back up. Onishiki came back with a couple of shots to Tasuku’s stomach, and then pulled him in close for a quick uppercut. Tasuku staggered backwards, but was taken off of his feet by a running shoulder block from Onishiki. Tasuku got back up to his feet quickly however, and began to punch away at his chest and gut. Onishiki backed up, and eventually ended up leaning on the ropes. Tasuku then chopped him with all of his strength, making a sound that echoed throughout the arena, causing Onishiki to double over. Tasuku whipped the big man across the ring again, before levelling him with a double chop to the chest when he came back. Tasuku went for the cover, but Onishiki kicked out fairly quickly. Tasuku tried to pull him back up to his feet, but Onishiki countered with a few sharp elbows to the gut. He then ran to the ropes, and when he came back, he dropped Tasuku down to the mat with a clothesline. Onishiki then grabbed hold of Tasuku’s leg and locked in a knee lock, stretching Tasuku’s knee around his neck, while Tasuku hung upside down. Tasuku managed to fight out of it by hitting Onishiki with a couple of vicious shots right to the jaw while he hung there. Onishiki dropped him so he could recover, but this just allowed Tasuku to recover himself, as he quickly sprang to his feet and grabbed hold of Onishiki, and before he could do anything, Tasuku sent him flying overhead with an amazing belly-to-belly suplex, causing Onishiki to hit the mat with a sickening thud. Tasuku then slowly made his way over to Onishiki and pulled him back up to his feet, before whipping him viciously into the corner. Onishiki tried to get out of the corner, but he was squashed, quite an impressive feat due to his size, in the corner following and running clothesline from Tasuku. Tasuku backed out and then charged in with a knee to the face, before pulled Onishiki out of the corner and into a short-arm clothesline. Tasuku then shot up to his feet and pounded his chest before screaming into the air, causing the fans to cheer him loudly. He pulled Onishiki up to his feet and whipped him across the ring, but Onishiki countered and whipped Tasuku instead. He dropped the big man with a huge Samoan Drop out of nowhere and went for the cover. 1… 2… Thr…NO Tasuku got his shoulder up just in time. Onishiki fell onto his back and grabbed his head. The Samoan Drop was one of his biggest moves, and his second finisher, how could Tasuku kick out of it? Onishiki pulled him back up to his feet, but was met with four straight elbows to his gut by Tasuku. Tasuku then ran across the ring and dropped Onishiki with a thunderous clothesline. He seemed unstoppable, as he has been in complete dominance throughout this match. He then waited for Onishiki to get up, and when he did, he ran across the ring twice to build up momentum, and when he came back after those, he destroyed Onishiki with a Full Swing Lariat! Onishiki flipped over and was turned inside out from the move, showing the unbelievable power that Tasuku has. Tasuku then dropped to the mat and made the cover, and got the victory. Nandaba looked more impressive than ever, seemingly dominating and destroying one of the most feared competitors on the roster. [b]Winner:[/b] Tasuku Nandaba by pinfall in 9:58 [b]C+[/b] [I]- I thought their styles would compliment each other, but I was very mistaken. Come on Onishiki, you get a B with Shogo Takani, but a C+ with Nandaba?[/I] ____________________________________________ [B][U]Main Event:[/b] Dayu Ichihara & Toshiro Saito vs. Master Kitozon & Connor Thompson[/u] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/DayuIchihara.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/toshirosaito.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/MasterKitozon.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d17/Hobgobbo/BHOTWG%20-%201975/connorthompson.jpg[/IMG] Both of these teams have a history together, be it recent or a long time ago. Connor Thompson recently wrestled Dayu Ichihara in a losing effort at Sword of Destiny, faced Master Kitozon a month ago for the Burning World Championship, where he lost again. Master Kitozon on the other hand has faced all three people in this match, defeating Toshiro Saito last week to retain his belt, and defeated Connor Thompson two months ago, and Dayu Ichihara three weeks ago, all to retain his belt. Saito is known for his long running feud with Master Kitozon during the 60’s when BHOTWG was being set up, a feud which he sometimes continues to this day. Dayu Ichihara is the main nemesis of Master Kitozon, and is hated across Japan for that very reason. Both teams spoke to each other, talking about strategy and who should start off. After two minutes of this, they finally decided, as Master Kitozon and Dayu Ichihara started off. Both men circled each other, getting ready to lock up, before chants of “Kitozon!” broke out throughout the crowd. Kitozon seemed to smile for a split second, but remained focused on Dayu. Dayu however, seemed distracted due to the crowd’s chants, and tried to get them to cheer for him. They just booed him, but then broke out into cheers when Kitozon rushed up behind him and lifted him high into the air, before bringing him crashing down with a back suplex. Dayu grabbed his back, but quickly made it back up to his feet, now completely focused on Kitozon. Both men locked up almost instantly, and a huge power struggle began. Kitozon managed to force Dayu to his knees, but Dayu powered out of it and managed to push Kitozon away. Kitozon looked at him in very slight surprise, before charging in and almost decapitating him with a clothesline. Dayu looked up at the lights with a dazed look in his eyes, before getting pulled up to his feet by Kitozon. Kitozon booted him in the gut, before whipping him across the ring. When he came back, Kitozon picked him up and placed him in a huge bearhug. Dayu fought for a long time, and eventually managed to get out of the move by clapping his hands across Kitozon’s ears. Kitozon staggered back, and Dayu ran to the ropes, but was once again sent to the mat when Kitozon exploded with a clothesline. Kitozon shook his head and then picked Dayu back up to his feet. He whipped him into his corner, and chopped him viciously across the chest before tagging out to his partner, Connor Thompson. Connor entered the ring just as Kitozon whipped Dayu across the ring. When he came back, Kitozon lifted him up high with a press slam like move, but instead of dropping him to the floor, he dropped him backwards onto Connor’s shoulders, and Connor then drilled him into the mat with a Firemans Carry. Dayu flopped around on the mat for a long time before making his way up to his feet. Connor and Dayu then locked up, and it was Connor who managed to get control, mainly due to Dayu still being dazed because of the earlier double team, and booted Dayu in the gut. He then wrapped his arms around Dayu and heaved him overhead with a release belly to belly suplex, sending Dayu crashing to the mat. Connor picked him back up, but was caught off guard by a couple of elbows shots right to the gut by Dayu. Ichihara then whipped Connor across the ring, taking advantage of his temporarily dazed state, and then dropped him with a back elbow when he came back. Dayu then went over to his corner and tagged in Saito, allowing the behemoth to enter the ring. Saito walked over to Connor and clasped his hands around his neck, and lifted him high into the air just by his neck. The referee tried to stop Saito, but was instantly silenced by a menacing look from Saito. Saito then threw Connor up into the air, before grabbing him when he came down and planted him with a spinebuster. The crowd gasped and winced when they saw that move, but everybody who was in the arena had a look of awe on their faces, taken aback by the sheer power that is Toshiro Saito. Saito picked Connor back up and whipped him across the ring, when he came back Saito attempted a clothesline, but Connor summoned all the power that he had to leap at Saito with a flying lariat. Connor crashed and burned however, as when he hit Saito, it had no effect, except making Saito angrier. Toshiro then picked Connor up off of the floor and punched him right across the face, before lifting him up into the air, and then dropping him with a Press Slam. Connor rolled around on the mat, holding his back. He then desperately tried to make it to his corner. Saito just walked beside him, before pulling him up by his hair and whipping him across the ring. When Connor came back, Saito lifted him into the air again, before quickly turning and driving him into the mat with a powerslam. The crowd gasped once again, and Saito dragged Connor to his corner. Saito tagged Dayu back in, but not before whipping Connor across the ring again. Dayu then quickly got into the ring and levelled Connor with a quick clothesline when he came back. Dayu then picked him back up and booted him in the gut. He went for a suplex, putting him in a vertical position, but Connor wriggled out and landed behind Dayu. Connor then pushed him away and ran over to his corner. He jumped the last few feet, and the crowd erupted when his hand made contact with Kitozon’s hand. Kitozon came in like a house of fire, even though the match hadn’t been going on that long. He scrambled into the ring and took Dayu down with a clothesline to the back of the head, and when Saito came in to try and stop him; Kitozon kicked him in the knee, and then showed amazing strength by lifting Saito up into the air by that knee and pushing him to the ground. Kitozon then turned his attention back to Dayu, and then whipped him across the ring. He lifted him up into the air when he came back and nailed him with an inverted atomic drop. He then dropped Dayu to the mat after pulling him in for a short-arm clothesline. Kitozon then took the match to the mat, locking Dayu in a tight knee lock, before also applying pressure to his arms with a modified surfboard. Dayu was in a lot of pain from this hold, but luckily Saito ran in and kicked Kitozon in the face to make him release the hold. Kitozon rolled around for a very short time before getting back up to his feet. Dayu tried to clothesline him down, but Kitozon ducked it and elbowed Dayu in the back. Dayu then ran to the ropes and tried again, but this time Kitozon took the shot, but it seemed to have no effect. Dayu tried punching away at him, but nothing seemed to work. Dayu then tried to whip Kitozon across the ring, but Kitozon reversed the irish whip and sent Dayu into the ropes instead. When he came back, Kitozon grabbed Dayu and then shot him high into the air, sending Dayu crashing down behind him with a huge back body drop. Kitozon picked Dayu back up to his feet, but Dayu came back with a series of elbows and knees to the gut, before finishing off with a forearm to the side of Kitozon’s head. He then ran into the ropes, and managed to surprise Kitozon with a flying forearm smash, sending the champ down to the mat. Dayu pulled Kitozon back up, and whipped him across the ring, and then ran into the ropes himself. When they came back, both men collided with each other with a double clothesline. After a while, both Dayu and Kitozon came to and tried to tag in their respective partners. Kitozon was the first to tag out, soon followed by Dayu tagging Saito in. Connor bounded into the ring, and Saito tried to take him down with a clothesline, but Connor ducked under it and swept Saito’s legs out from under him. The monster tumbled backwards and hit the mat hard, but made his way back up to his feet with astonishing speed. Connor was taken aback by how quickly he had recovered, and found himself on the wrong end of a double team, when Dayu locked him in a full nelson. Saito punched him hard in the gut, and Dayu then lifted him up and planted him with a full nelson suplex. Saito went over to Connor and pulled him back up to his feet. He then booted Connor in the gut and hoisted him into the position for the Saito-Plex. Connor tried to fight out of it, and managed to get his feet back onto the mat, but Saito just lifted him back up into the air and nailed him with the POWER Crush! Connor bounced over from the impact and looked to be knocked out. Saito went for the cover, and the referee began to make the count. 1… 2… Thr….NO! Kitozon made the save! Saito looked up in sheer disbelief. Kitozon pulled him up to his feet and chopped him across the chest several times, sending the big man reeling. Connor made his way back up to his feet, and went over to help Kitozon, but Dayu came in and stopped him from doing so. Kitozon had pushed Saito towards the ropes, and whipped him across the ring. When Saito came back, Kitozon leapt into the air and viciously chopped him across the chest, making the big man tumble backwards to the match. The referee tried to send each partner to their respective corners, but Dayu refused, and Kitozon threatened to chop him across the chest as well if he interfered. Connor and Dayu were brawling, which ended up with Dayu gaining the upper hand and booting Connor in the gut. He then whipped Connor into the corner, and went to follow up with a clothesline, but Connor got the boot up, connecting with Dayu’s jaw. Dayu dropped down to the mat, and Saito went to take care of Connor, but he was blocked by Kitozon, who booted him in the gut several times, eventually forcing him to double over. Kitozon then nailed him in the back with a double axe handle, but Saito just stood bolt upright. He charged at Kitozon to hit him with a clothesline, but Kitozon ducked, and Saito carried on due to his momentum. Dayu had just gotten up after the boot to the face, but got knocked back down to the mat due to Saito being unable to stop. Saito looked at Dayu in disbelief as Kitozon spun him around. Kitozon booted the monster in the gut and whipped him across the ring. He refused to move and held on to the ropes, but Kitozon just charged in and nailed him with the Kitozon Chop! Both men went over the top rope and crashed to the outside. Connor was recovering while all this happened, and picked a seemingly knocked out Dayu up from off the mat and booted him in the gut. He then nailed him with the Thunder From Down Under, and made the cover. 1… 2… 3! Connor had got the pinfall for his team and has pinned Dayu Ichihara.
