TrekkieMonsta Posted June 19, 2008 Author Share Posted June 19, 2008 [CENTER][U][B]WLW Rave Tour[/B] Show #7[/U] Held at Gifu Arena Wednesday, Week 4, January 2011 Attendance = 2,000 (Sell Out!) Announcers = Isei Deushi & Koyo Raikatuji [u][i]Pre-Show[/i][/u] [i]Greg Gauge def. Nariaki Hitomi – B Silver Shark def. Masked Cougar – C+[/i] We then quickly have a hype video showcasing the main show return of Americana. [b]E[/b] [U][B]Match 1:[/B] Takeshi Umehara vs. Americana.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TakesiUmehara.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AmericanElemental.jpg[/IMG] Americana had been absent from the main shows for quite some time, and that helped lend this match some flare as Americana pulled out some of his best spots to show that he is back to make a mark. The match started out with the bigger Takeshi gaining control after dropping the gaijin with a clothesline, but when the veteran tried to go for a delayed suplex, milking it for as much time as possible, Americana was able to drop behind him and then turn it into a Reverse DDT, spiking Takeshi right on his head. The gaijin had the match in his hands for the rest of the time, keeping the veteran in check with several quick pace holds, constantly changing to prevent Takeshi from gaining any momentum, before taking to the air again. When he went for a springboard moonsault it looked like he was going to crash and burn as the veteran Takeshi moved out of the way, but Americana managed to land on his feet and then nailed a rolling wheel kick. The youngster then quickly hopped up top, causing some of the crowd to rise to their feet before he came flying off with the Inferno Splash Mk III, an Imploding 450 Splash. He connected right with the sternum and hooked the leg for the academic victory. [B]Winner:[/B] Americana by pinfall in 9:38 – [B]C[/B] We then see a hype video for the main event, Rhino Umaga vs. Angry Gilmore, showing clips of Angry’s decimation at the hands of Marat Khoklov last week. [b]B[/b] [U][B]Match 2:[/B] Kimuraman vs. Nathanial Ca$ino.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BeetleKimura.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NathanielCaino.jpg[/IMG] Not a great match by any standards, but a solid match for people so far down the card. Kimuraman came down to the ring noticeably limping and holding his head, obviously still feeling the effects of the recent attacks he has taken. Therefore, Nate naturally thought this match was going to be in the bag, and toyed with the smaller man for the best part of the beginning, but eventually he got too overconfident, giving Kimura time to boot him in the gut and then send him across the ring with a head scissors. Nate sprung up soon after and charged back across, only to be floored with a leaping kick right to the jaw. Kimuraman then brought to the floor the technical skills that won him five tap out titles when he locked Nate in several painful holds, including a bow and arrow lock that almost had the gaijin tapping. Nate was able to build some momentum towards the end of the match, using his superior strength to throw the small Kimura around the ring like a rag doll, but when he went for the Hard Eight, a running enziguri, Kimura was able to duck under it and then boot the gaijin in the gut before driving him into the mat with the Ocean Crush, a sit-out suplex crush. He managed to steal the victory, quickly rolling out of the ring before Nate tried to get revenge. [B]Winners:[/B] Kimuraman by pinfall in 11:07 - [B]C[/B] As he heads up the ramp, Kimura holds up his arm in celebration before making a superhero pose and heading to the back. [b]C-/b] We then see yet another hype video, this time of Silver Shark [b]B-[/b] [U][B]Match 3:[/B] Tasuku Shinozuka vs. Bussho Makiguchi.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TasukuShinozuka.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg[/IMG] This was practically a warm up match for Bussho on his way to the title match at Do The Dance of Shame, but while he expected a fairly easy match due to Tasuku’s advanced years, he instead got a pretty savage beatdown at the start of the match. As soon as Bussho rolled in, Tasuku was right on top of him, kicking away at his back and unloading a vicious series of punches that connected right with the jaw of the youngster. Eventually Bussho was able to roll out of the ring to avoid the onslaught, but Tasuku followed him out and whipped him into the barricade rolling him back into the ring. The veteran then tried to keep the match on the mat, but he soon found himself a match in the youngster, as Bussho went hold for hold with him until they both got up to their feet, staring each other down. Bussho tried to take the advantage with a running elbow smash, but the veteran Tasuku ducked it and then took the youngster to the mat with an armbar takedown before locking him in an inverted crucifix armbar. Bussho struggled to get out of the hold, eventually having to roll himself over until he was able to grab hold of the bottom rope, forcing Tasuku to release the hold. Bussho tried to get up to his feet and recover, but he was the victim of another onslaught, as Tasuku seemed really intent on showing a more vicious side to him tonight, but he got a bit carried away, and when he tried to go for a clothesline Bussho managed to duck it and then brought the veteran to the mat with a neckbreaker before locking him in a grounded headlock. Tasuku fought the hold though, managing to get up to both feet, but Bussho stopped his attempted comeback with several quick punches to the gut followed by a roundhouse to the face, stunning the veteran. The youngster quickly ran to the ropes and followed up with a tilt-a-whirl armbar takedown, before getting up to his feet and connecting with a snap elbow drive right to the back of the head. This seemed to daze the veteran, as Bussho was able to pull him up to his feet and then whipped him across the ring before flooring him with a back elbow. He pulled him back up and drove his elbow repeatedly into the side of the head of the veteran, before running back to the ropes and connecting with the Blazing Elbow, flipping Tasuku onto his back and then quickly going for the cover, getting the victory in a surprisingly even match. [B]Winner:[/B] Bussho Makiguchi by pinfall in 12:37 – [B]B-[/B] After a quick break, we return to see Mr. Miwa backstage with Rhino Umaga and Awesome Thunder behind him. “Tonight is going to be a clean sweep for my clients here. Of course, I’m sure you cretins that are out in the arena or watching think different, but let me tell you why it will be. First, Awesome Thunder, the most decorated Universal champion this company has ever seen, is going up against a kid who has had little in the way of achievements when compared to my incredible client. But then again, everybody is. Thunder has twice the experience that the brat Kobe has, and twice the talent, so it’s going to be an easy win right there.” Awesome Thunder seems to laugh before returning to looking menacingly at the camera. “Second, the most savage man to ever enter a World Level Wrestling ring, “The Wrecking Ball”, Rhino Umaga, is going to be facing a man who shouldn’t even be able to make it to the ring considering what happened to him last week. If he does come out to the ring, it will be one of the biggest mistakes he will ever make, as Rhino will show no remorse, and has orders to break that back truly in half if he dares to get in the way of our plans. I know that when Thunder again wins on Saturday that these two will have to face each other, but I have a plan for it. It’s going to be a fair and open contest between the two most talented wrestlers in the history of the business, too talented to be in a waste dump of a company like this.” He laughs and pats his clients on the back. “Good luck boys, but it’s not like you need it. Because nobody can stand the might of Rhino Umaga or the incredible skill of Awesome Thunder.” Panda Mask II happens to wonder in at this point, which was probably the worse thing he could have done, as Thunder kicks him in the face before Rhino spears him into the wall, leaving a little dent where his body was. [b]B-[/b] for both hypes [b]C[/b] for attack [U][B]Match 4:[/B] Awesome Thunder vs. Magnum KOBE.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AwesomeThunder.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MagnumKobe.jpg[/IMG] This was the classic past vs. present match up that everybody loves, but unlike most of these matches where the present is nothing compared to the young, these two tore up the ring with their equally amazing high flying abilities, although KOBE was noticeably more adept and agile than the veteran. When the match started, Kobe took him down with a tackle and then tried to lock him in a kneelock, but the veteran kicked him away and then kipped up before kicking him in the gut and driving him into the mat with a face first suplex, effectively giving him the early control. Kobe tried to scurry to the ropes to recover a little bit, but Thunder ran after him and dragged him into the middle of the ring before locking him in a tight armbar, where he would occasionally drive his knee or elbow into the joint to soften it up. Kobe struggled initially to escape the hold, almost being on the verge of tapping due to the damage that was already being done, but he was able to summon up the energy to fight his way over to the ropes to force the veteran to release him. Thunder pulled him up and whipped him across the ring, aiming to take the youngster down with a powerslam when he returned, but Kobe was able to surprise the veteran with a leaping somersault clothesline out of nowhere, before rolling out of the ring favouring his arm. Kobe thought he was going to get time to recover, but he soon found out otherwise as the veteran Thunder soon shook off the effects of the clothesline to connect with his trademark no hands senton bomb plancha, colliding with Kobe on the way down. A smirk crossed the veteran’s face as he draped Kobe’s arm across the apron. The youngster began to come to as Thunder climbed onto the apron, but was unable to move out of the way in time before the veteran came down on his bad arm with a leg drop, causing him to wrench the arm away and yell in pain. Thunder quickly went up to him and rolled him back in before attempting a cover, only to have Kobe kick out. The smirk re-appeared as the veteran drove his knee into the back of the youngster several times before locking him in the Ace Clutch right in the middle of the ring. Kobe screamed out in pain, and tried desperately to get to the ropes, but he soon found himself fading in the hold, due to the amount of pressure. Thunder increased that pressure by pressing his knee into the back of the youngster, causing him to eventually fade from the pain. When he began to show no signs of resisting the referee checked by lifting his arm. On the first try, there was no sign of life, and on the second exactly the same. The fans began to stomp their feet and chant “Ko-be, Ko-be” to get the youngster back into the fight, and it seemed to do the trick, as just before his arm hit the mat a third time he stiffened it and then began to fight back, rolling onto his front and scrambling over to the ropes. Thunder was beside himself with amazement, unable to comprehend how the youngster was able to survive the hold, and quickly followed Kobe, connecting with a stiff running forearm smash when Kobe got up that sent him tumbling out of the ring. Thunder tried to follow up with a running plancha, but Kobe rolled out of the way causing the veteran to crash and burn on the unforgiving floor below. Thunder clutched at his back, causing Mr. Miwa to run over and check on his client, but this left them both open to a Asai Moonsault from Kobe, leaving all three men down and out. Kobe was the first up and into the ring, though he was noticeably favouring his back and arm still. Thunder managed to make it back before the referee counted him out, but he was no longer in control, because as soon as he stood up he was sent right back to the mat with a dropsault from Kobe who then nailed a standing spinning corkscrew senton, connecting with the back of the veteran, as Thunder had rolled over after the dropsault. Thunder yelled out in pain when the move hit, but Kobe showed as much compassion as the veteran would have, stomping away at the back of his opponent and then pulling the dazed veteran up to his feet before whipping him into the corner. He tried to follow up with a running back elbow, but Thunder somersaulted over him and then connected with a ganmengiri right to the back of the head of the youngster, sending him to the mat. However, when Thunder tried to climb up to the top for the Thunder Shock, Kobe followed him up and then sent the veteran flying across the ring with a Super Rana. Kobe quickly followed up by pulling Thunder up to his feet and then driving him into the mat with the Magnum Rocket Drive, getting the cover fairly quickly on the dazed veteran. [B]Winner:[/B] Magnum KOBE by pinfall in 16:43 – [B]B+[/B] When he heard the bell ringing, Kobe grabbed his head out of disbelief, incredibly happy that he was now heading to the semi-finals. [b]B+[/b] However, this celebration was short-lived, as Thunder got up to his feet while the youngster had his arm raised and then attacked him from behind. Thunder stomped madly away at the back of Kobe before cinching in the Ace Clutch again, causing Kobe to instantly tap out, screaming in pain, but this meant nothing due to it not being a match and Thunder didn’t release the hold until he was well and truly sure the damage had been done. [b]B[/b] [U][B]Match 5:[/B] Rhino Umaga vs. Angry Gilmore.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/RhinoUmaga.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AngryGilmore.jpg[/IMG] Many fans were great anticipating this match up, as Rhino Umaga has been one of the biggest stars of the company since he joined in 2009, while Angry Gimore was an International Superstar in many people’s eyes, having achieved great success on both sides of the world. When the American came down to the ring though, he was not in the best of shape, with tape rapped around his ribs, most likely damaged from the powerbomb he took from Khoklov last week, while Rhino was in the best shape of his career. When the match started, Gilmore tried to rush in with a few stiff punches and elbows to the Samoan’s head, but due to the trademark hardness of their skulls, the shots had little effect, only serving to anger Umaga to the point where he threw Gilmore into the corner with great force and then unloaded with several punches and forearms of his own, dazing the American gaijin. Rhino then dragged Gilmore out and tried to send him overhead with a suplex, but the smaller man was able to turn it into an inverted leg drop bulldog, called the Superstar Sensation. He quickly went for the cover, hooking the tree trunk that was Rhino’s leg, but the Samoan kicked out just after the two count, drawing a gasp of awe from the crowd. Gilmore tried to keep the control by applying a grounded hammerlock, but the big Rhino was able to power up to his knees and then throw Gilmore over his shoulder. Angry tried to scurry up to his feet, only to be floored with a clothesline from the big man. Rhino dragged the dazed American into the middle of the ring, and then leapt up into the air before connecting with a knee drop, getting amazing height for someone of his size. He tried to go for the cover himself, but Gilmore kicked out, though he quickly grabbed his back due to the pain he felt in doing so. Rhino noticed this and whipped Gilmore viciously into the corner, and upon impact Angry flipped right over the top to the outside below, where Miwa began to yell abuse at him. This prompted Gilmore, though still dazed, to try and attack the manager, but Rhino stopped him in his track with a double axe handle to the back before launching him back first into the barricade. Gilmore yelled out in pain and grabbed his back, but this just incited Rhino to continue, as he picked up the injured man and launched him similarly into the apron and then into the ring post as well, effectively destroying the poor man’s back. Rhino rolled into the ring and then back out again to break the count, but before he could continue his assault, Gilmore surprised him with a stiff uppercut to the jaw and then went up to the top rope in one quick motion. He seemed ready to hit the Gilmore Sky High Elbow, but Umaga got up and clasped him by his shoulders before sending him flying across the entire ring and crashing to the mat in an amazing feat of strength. Rhino quickly followed up and nailed an elbow drop before kicking away savagely at the back of Gilmore, focusing mainly on his ribs to further any damage that was already there. Gilmore tried to roll out of the ring to recover, but Rhino grabbed him before he was able to do so and then pulled him back up to his feet, only to send him flying overhead with a belly to belly suplex. Umaga then locked him in the Samoan Crab, sitting down while cinching it in, again focusing on the bad back of Gilmore, but the gaijin was able to eventually fight his way over to the ropes and clasp one of them to force Rhino to release the hold. Umaga wasn’t done though, as he quickly pulled Gilmore up to his feet and then whipped him across the ring. He tried to catch Gilmore with a spinebuster, but the veteran American turned it into a hurracanrana that sent the big man tumbling out of the ring. When he got back up, Gilmore climbed onto the top rope and then came flying off with an amazing corkscrew senton splash, colliding right with the chest of the Samoan and sending him back to the floor. Gilmore grabbed his back again though before rolling back into the ring to recover as much as possible. When Rhino came back in after him, Gilmore was able to catch him with a leg lariat that floored him before running up the turnbuckles and pulling off the ever beautiful Picture Perfect Moonsault. He collided right with the sternum of the Samoan, but it was not enough to put him away as Rhino kicked out just a split second before the three count. Gilmore then tried to stay in control by keeping Umaga down with an arm bar, but the big man rolled out of it and then got back up to standing, driving Gilmore back into the mat with a sit-out spinebuster when he got up as well. Rhino pulled him back up to his feet and whipped him across the ring, but Gilmore countered mid-run with spinning leg lariat, knocking the big man down. Rhino tried to get up before Gilmore built any sort of momentum, but the American kneed him in the face and then connected with a standing moonsault to the back of the big man. Gilmore then followed up with a leg drop and a fist drop to the head of the Samoan, intent on keeping him down, but when he tried to pull Rhino up to his feet for the Anger Management, Rhino pushed him away. In fact, he pushed him with such force that Gilmore went all the way to the opposite ropes. When he bounced back, Rhino tried to catch Gilmore with the Rhino Charge, but the American flipped over the big man just in time. Gilmore taunted the Samoan to try again, and he tried to do the same when Umaga went for it, but the big man caught him mid-flip and turned it into a powerbomb, making Gilmore’s head bounce from the impact. Rhino then pulled a limp Gilmore up to his feet and whipped him across the ring before meeting him half way with the Rhino Charge, flipping him over upon connecting. The crowd gasped in shock, then booed as Rhino made the cover. One… Two… Three! Gilmore had put up a hell of a fight, but his injuries from last week proved to be his undoing, as Rhino picked his torso apart and then knocked him out.

TrekkieMonsta Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 [CENTER][U][B]WLW Rave Tour[/B] Show #8[/U] Held at Kyoto Arena Saturday, Week 4, January 2011 Attendance = 2,000 (Sell Out!) Announcers = Isei Deushi & Koyo Raikatuji [u][i]Pre-Show[/i][/u] [i]Kimuraman def. Kid Toma – C+[/i] To kick off we have a hype video for the Kobe vs. Angel match tonight. [b]B+[/b] [U][B]Match 1:[/B] Silver Shark & Cyber Fighter 3000 vs. White Samurai & Bussho Makiguchi.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/CyberFighter3000.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg[/IMG] A nice fast paced opener that basically serves as a preview to these four’s separate matches in two days time. The match started with Bussho and Silver Shark being the legal men, and they tore it up for the first few minutes, going hold for hold with each other until Shark was able to catch the youngster with a dropkick to the chest. Bussho tried to steal back the control with a running back elbow, but Shark ducked underneath and then nailed an enziguri to the back of the head before tagging out to Cyber. That was a bad decision on his part, as the champion Cyber began to breakdance in the middle of the ring, giving Bussho time to recover. When Cyber had finished, he tried to keep Bussho down with a running senton, but Bussho rolled over and put his knees up, causing Cyber to crash and burn. Bussho was then in control, firing away with several kicks and elbows to the upper back and head of his opponent until he tagged out half way through the match. Samurai pretty much continued from where Bussho left off, battering away at Cyber, but unlike Bussho he kept shooting glances over at Shark, as if sending a message to the champion each time he hit a move. This left him easy prey for Cyber though, as the small man was eventually able to counter a suplex attempt into a DDT and then tagged out to his partner. Shark eagerly leapt into the ring and battered away at his rival with several punches to the back of the head and then kneeing him several times as well, as if getting revenge for the attack earlier this month. Samurai tried to cover up under this attack, but the veteran was too much for him, and came close to locking him in the Jaws of Life, but the youngster was able to scramble over to the ropes before tagging back in to Bussho. Shark smiled before tagging out to Cyber, who gingerly stepped back in. Bussho was instantly on top of the champion, flooring him with a clothesline and then connecting with a snap elbow drive right to the back of the head. Bussho dragged him back into the middle of the ring and slapped him in the Pride Stretch, a grounded bridging cobra clutch. Cyber desperately tried to fight the hold and get to the ropes, but he was unable to move at all. When Shark tried to enter to break it up, Samurai ran in and then dropkicked the veteran over the top before following up with a slingshot splash to the outside. Upon realising he had no other choice, Cyber tapped out, giving the challengers the all important victory two days before their title matches. [B]Winner:[/B] Samurai & Bussho by submission in 11:32 – [B]B-[/B] Instead of celebrating or releasing the hold, Bussho kept it cinched in, intending to make the champ pass out. When the referee tried to pry him off, Samurai threw the official out of the ring and then proceeded to attack Silver Shark on the outside, throwing him into the ring steps. [b]C[/b] However, the attack didn’t go as planned, as the behemoth Marat Khoklov lumbered down to the ring and destroyed all four men, for absolutely no reason. Maybe he just feels like it. [b]B-[/b] [U][B]Match 2:[/B] Angry Gilmore vs. Burning EXILE.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AngryGilmore.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BurningExile.jpg[/IMG] Not the great match that I was really expecting here, as Exile was upset about being on the losing side, even though he is only a midcarder while Gilmore is in the main event. The match started out with some brief technical wrestling, but when it seemed like Gilmore was going to get the edge after locking in a leg lock, Exile scrambled over to the ropes and then poked the gaijin in the eye when he got up to his feet. This left Gilmore open to a flurry of kicks which was completed by a jumping enziguri, sending the gaijin down to the mat. Exile then tried to get in control by keeping the match on the mat, but Gilmore showed his skills again when he went hold for hold with his fellow veteran and then fought his way up to both feet. Exile tried to take him out with a clothesline, but Gilmore ducked under and then ran to the ropes, sending the freelancer to the outside with a leaping head scissors. Exile rolled across the floor before getting up to his feet, but he wasn’t able to ready himself in time for the diving cross body that soon hit him. Gilmore seemed to have recovered fairly well after his loss a few days ago, but was still favouring his ribs, especially after hitting that cross body. He took his time getting back in the ring, but this gave Exile time to recover and catch up with him, as he caught the gaijin with a dropkick followed by a flip senton as soon as both were in the ring. Gilmore tried to take back the control of the match, but Exile didn’t let up at all, sending him flying overhead with a snap suplex and then going for the cover, only to get a two count. He then tried to lock in a bow and arrow lock, but Gilmore was able to claw his way over to the ropes before he locked it in properly, giving him a little time to get his breath back. The gaijin pulled himself up using the ropes, and when Exile tried to charge at him, Gilmore threw him overhead, sending him crashing back down to the floor below. Angry then used this time to get his breath back and nurse his ribs, waiting for Exile to re-enter the ring, and when he did, he was able to catch the veteran with the Superstar Sensation, getting the cover and the victory to get himself back on track. [B]Winners:[/B] Angry Gilmore by pinfall in 15:09 - [B]B-[/B] As soon as Gilmore is done heading up the ramp, we see a hype video highlighting Koshiro Ino. [b]B[/b] [U][B]Match 3:[/B] Koshiro Ino vs. Nariaki Hitomi.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KoshiroIno.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NariakiHitomi_alt.jpg[/IMG] This was a fairly simple match to be perfectly honest, as it was an all-out brawl with neither man being really adept at anything else. When the bell rang, they charged in towards each other and began to exchange blows. Neither really gained any sort of advantage until Ino was able to connect with five consecutive punches before whipping Hitomi across the ring. Hitomi tried to counter when he came back with a clothesline, but Ino simply absorbed the shot and dared Hitomi again. And when the youngster did attempt it again, the face painted warrior just took it again before shaking the ring ropes and letting out a war like cry. Hitomi tried one more time, but was turned inside out when Ino countered with a clothesline of his own before pulling Hitomi up to his feet and driving him into the mat with a spinebuster. Ino began to play to the crowd again after this, but this only gave the youngster Hitomi time to recover, and he was able to get up to his feet and then club Ino from behind with an overhead chop right to the neck. Ino staggered forwards, allowing Hitomi to whip him across the ring, but the big man was able to counter when eh came back with a shoulder block, knocking Hitomi to the mat. Ino then signalled to the audience as he waited for Hitomi to get up, and when he did, Ino charged in before hitting one of the stiffest lariats around, called the Kobra’s Bite. Hitomi flopped to the mat before Ino covered him, getting the fairly easy victory. [B]Winner:[/B] Koshiro Ino by pinfall in 8:41 – [B]C[/B] Ino quickly grabs the microphone from ringside: “The Kobra has been away for far too long, and now, he demands to be able to quench his thirst for competition, for victory. Everybody has better be careful, because the Kobra is back, and he just might bite you.” [b]B[/b] [U][B]Match 4:[/B] Dragon & Furusawa vs. The Avalanche Effect. Non-Title[/u] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg[/IMG] This was set to be an amazing match, if the skills of each of the competitors were anything to go by, and it did just that. When the bell rang, Mabuchi and Koki were the legal men, and they provided the fans with something different from their usual style, a nice technical showdown, as these two provided a submission clinic in the ring, going hold for hold and showing off some holds that had rarely been seen before. However, when Mabuchi was just about to catch Koki in the Furusawa armbar, Koyama slingshotted himself into the ring and connected with a missile dropkick right to the side of Mabuchi’s head. The youngster was back up quickly, but fell prey to a few double teams by the champions, including a leg sweep/leg lariat combo that almost ended the match if Dragon hadn’t of broken it up in time. The champions then turned their attentions to the gaijin Dragon, but when they tried to catch him with a double clothesline after whipping him into the ropes, the British flier was able to somersault over them and then rebound with a double dropkick, sending Koyama rolling out of the ring. Dragon then returned to his corner while Mabuchi slowly recovered and got up to his feet. The youngster instantly took control of the match again, locking Koki in a tight armbar, but the veteran was able to fight his way over to the ropes and place his foot on the bottom, forcing Mabuchi to release him. The bigger youngster tried to follow up with a clothesline to send Koki to the outside, but the champ ducked under the attempt and then connected with a dropkick to the back of Mabuchi, sending him tumbling over to the floor below. Mabuchi clambered out of the ring after him, prompting Koyama and Dragon to try and help, but it only resulted in four way brawl that neither team came out on top of. Eventually, Mabuchi rolled Koki back into the ring and order was restored. Mabuchi slapped the veteran in a cross arm breaker, but yet again the wily Koki was able to get to the ropes and break it up. Mabuchi pulled him up to his feet and whipped him across the ring, but when he tried to floor him with a running knee, Koki sidestepped him and then used the leg as leverage to throw him to the mat with a reverse dragon screw leg whip. Mabuchi yelled out in pain and tagged out to Dragon, who leapt over the top rope and squared off with his fellow veteran. They began to technical master class yet again, but Koki was able to steal way control by wrenching out Dragon’s wrist. And just when it seemed like Dragon could possible regain momentum with a short range clothesline, Koki ducked underneath and countered it into a Wrist Clutch Rack Suplex, called the Ishibashi Effect. When he tried to go for the cover, Mabuchi broke it up, bringing Koyama in as well. Eventually this broke into another four way brawl, ending up going all the way to the back forcing the referee to count both teams out. Neither team had managed to gain the advantage in this preview match, which throws up the result in two days up into the air even more than before. [B]Winner:[/B] Draw in 10:19 – [B]B[/B] After a break, we return to see Magnum KOBE in the locker room, being interviewed by Seiho Kuroda. “Kobe, first, congratulations on defeating Awesome Thunder last week.” “Thanks. It really meant a lot to be able to beat such a legend in Awesome Thunder cleanly in that ring, without the need for cheating. I know I used to always use those tactics, but I now realise that I can win without them, and that it feels so much better when I get the victory, as I feel that I actually accomplished something, not stolen it.” “Quite true, what are your thoughts on the match tonight?” “Honestly? I’m kinda nervous, Angel is an amazing talent, and I like to think I am able to defeat him, but again he is one of those people who have become famous for using underhanded tactics to steal victories. So I’m going to be on full alert throughout.” “A wise choice. Do you truly think you can win?” “Of course, if I didn’t think that I might as well just lie down in the ring and let him pin me. And when I do come out with the victory, I’m going to take all my friends, including you and any fans that want to come along, out for a massive party to celebrate.” Two ladies enter the room and sit either side of Kobe, resting on his shoulders. “Although, these two lovely girls will have most of my attention, you gotta have as much fun as possible, right Seiho?” Seiho nods as Kobe turns on a nearby radio. Some dance music blares out of the speakers and everybody begins to dance, even Seiho…if it could be called dancing as such. [b]B+[/b] [U][B]Match 5:[/B] Magnum KOBE vs. Emerald Angel.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MagnumKobe.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EmeraldAngel.jpg[/IMG] Both these men are renowned for their amazing aerial skills, and that brought to the plate a sense of tension, as with Angel’s attitude it was sure to be a battle of who was the better flier, not only about who was going to get to the finals of the tournament. When the match started, the two youngsters locked up and began to test each others strength in attempts to gain control, but those attempts were fruitless as neither was able to gain any sort of advantage over the other, being matched in strength and size. Kobe was the first to show any signs of control when he was able to shove Angel to the mat, but when he rebounded after running to the ropes Angel leapt up and caught him with a hurracanrana out of nowhere, almost getting the victory except Kobe was able to kick out a split second before the referee hit the mat for a third time. Angel had control now, and he kicked Kobe in the side of the head and pulled him up to his feet. When he tried to go for a suplex however, Kobe was able to counter with a suplex attempt of his own, turning it into a sit-out face first suplex, planting Angel into the mat. Kobe took some time to think over a plan, but soon found himself on the wrong end of a basement dropkick right to the jaw. Angel then wowed the crowd with a standing 450 splash to the gut of Kobe, almost getting the victory once again, but Kobe was able to place his feet on the bottom rope after the two count. Angel tried to go for the cover after dragging Kobe into the middle of the ring, but he kicked out again, causing Angel to get very angry. Emerald climbed on top of Kobe and began to pummel away with a series of stiff punches, but Kobe was able to throw him off and then caught him with an enziguri when he stood up before sending him flying overhead with a big back body drop after whipping him into the ropes. Kobe realised he needed to try and take away the aerial advantage of Angel, and began to target his legs, stomping away at his knees for several moments before locking him in an elevated surfboard, causing Angel to scream in pain. However, the youngster showed great resilience when he refused to tap out, eventually causing Kobe to release him in order to slap him in something else, but when Kobe tried to drag Angel to his feet, the former universal champ clocked Kobe in the jaw with an elbow shot and then took him to the mat with a head scissors. Kobe got up to his feet fairly soon after, but as unable to charge in due to being dazed. Angel then tried to connect with a dropkick to the knee, but Kobe leapt over him mid-move and then took Angel to the mat with a belly to back suplex and then locked him in a rear Chinlock. Kobe cinched it in tight, trying to make Angel tap, but the youngster refused and fought his way back up to standing, drawing large amounts of boos from the crowd. Kobe tried to bring him back down, but Angel elbowed him several times in the gut before running to the ropes. Kobe again tried to counter with a spinning leaping clothesline, but Angel dove underneath him and then caught him with a leg lariat when he got back up to his feet. Angel then kept control of the match with a grounded hammerlock on Kobe, occasionally driving his knee into the back of his fellow youngster to up the damage. Kobe held on though, refusing to tap out. Angel began to get frustrated again and pulled him up to his feet, whipping him into the corner. Kobe countered though, whipping Angel into the corner instead. But when he tried to follow up, Angel countered him with the Angel Grace II, a beautiful Moonsault Press. The youngster eagerly hooked the leg, but Kobe kicked out just after the two count. Angel ran to the ropes, but when he back Kobe stayed on the mat, causing him to leap over his opponent and then rebound off the other ropes. Kobe leapfrogged him this time though, and when he rebounded again, Kobe backflipped into a head scissors that sent Angel tumbling across the ring. Kobe waited for him to get back up to his feet, but when he tried to follow up with a clothesline, Angel threw him overhead, sending him to the outside instead. Angel took a little time to regain his breath before bouncing off the opposite ropes and taking to the air with a running shooting star press to the outside, again clearing the top rope on the back flip. Kobe to the full brunt of the attack, stunning him long enough for Kobe to pull something out of his jeans and then clock Kobe across the jaw with it. He seemed to be out like a light when Angel rolled him back in, and was helpless against the Angel Fury when Angel leapt off of the top rope. Angel hooked the leg, and the referee counted. One… Two… Three! Angel leapt onto his feet and celebrated like he has just won the Universal title already, but when he jumped around an object fell out of his trunks, glinting in the light. The referee went over and picked it up, revealing a pair of brass knuckles. The official got right in the face of Kobe, demanding to know why they were in there, but Angel refused to answer. The ref then went to the outside and spoke to the ring announcer. “Ladies and gentlemen, by request of the referee, the previous result has been revoked and the match will restart!” The fans burst into cheers when this was said, while Angel clasped his head and protested loudly, screaming that the referee was out to get him. Kobe had recovered by now though, and caught Angel with the Magnum Rocket Drive out of nowhere. Kobe wasn’t done though, as he dragged a stunned Angel into the middle of the ring and cinched in the Magnum Deathlock, an Indian Deathlock. Angel tried to fight it, but screamed in pain and eventually tapped out, causing the audience to once again erupt into applause as Kobe had his arm raised. [B]Winner:[/B] Magnum KOBE by submission in 21:01 – [B]A[/B] Kobe couldn’t believe it when the referee told him he had won, and tears began to appear as he was finally going to get another shot at the Universal Title. He headed into the crowd to celebrate with them after that before heading to the back with his arms held high. [b]B+[/b] [I]Summary: Samurai & Makiguchi def.

TrekkieMonsta Posted June 20, 2008 Author Share Posted June 20, 2008 [CENTER][I]Darn you Tigerkinney and your ability to read my mind! :p[/I] [U]WorldLevelWrestling.jp[/U] [u]News[/u] No news this week. [u]Card[/u] Here are the updated tournament brackets: [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Tourny%20brackets/TournamentBrackets4.jpg[/IMG] We have now reached the anticipated finals of the World Level Universal title Tournament, and it has been one hell of a ride, with some amazing matches taking place. The title match has been placed at in the main event, and has been confirmed as Rhino Umaga vs. Magnum KOBE. [SIZE="3"][U][B]WLW: Do The Dance Of Shame[/B][/U][/SIZE] [U][B]Americana vs. Antonio Maxi Marquez[/B][/U] Both of these men have been in limbo so to speak in recent times, and a pay per view is the best place to get back on track. Which will it be, the high flying sensation Americana, or the all round superstar Antonio Maxi Marquez? [U][B]Half Machine Half Amazing vs. The Samoan Wildboyz[/B][/U] Similar to above, neither of these two really have anything going for them as of late, and will be looking to get back into the swing of things tonight. [U][B]Cyber Fighter 3000© vs. Bussho Makiguchi [/B] For the World Level Tap Out title[/U] Both men have been on a tear as of late, but Bussho sent a clear message to the champion when he forced him to tap out to his new submission hold, the Pride Stretch. Will the champion be able to down the challenger, or will Bussho show that the win yesterday was no fluke and begin his quest of winning all the gold, as he so boldly stated at the beginning of the tour? [U][B]Silver Shark© vs. White Samurai[/b] For the World Level Show Stealer title[/U] Silver Shark thought that Samurai was out of his hair after he defeated a few weeks ago, but the youngster came back with a vicious assault on the champion a week later. Shark took offence to it and criticised Samurai for his hypocritical preaching of honour and a true open mind, challenging him to a match to settle their differences. [U][B]The Avalanche Effect© vs. Dragon & Furusawa[/B] For the World Level Tag Team titles[/U] These two have quite a history, being two of the leading teams of the division at the moment, facing off several times in the past. With the draw yesterday in another match between these teams, one can only guess what the result is going to be. Can Avalanche Effect hold onto their titles, cementing their place on top? Or will Dragon & Furusawa become four-time tag champions? [U][B]Angry Gilmore vs. Emerald Angel[/B] #1 Contendership for the World Level Universal title.[/U] These two men were the latest men eliminated from the tournament, and have therefore earned themselves a second chance, as they face off here to be the next people to challenge for the title. Which man will come out on top and stake their claim for one of wrestling’s greatest prizes yet again? [U][B]Rhino Umaga vs. Magnum KOBE[/B] For the World Level Universal title.[/U] This has to be one of the most anticipated bouts in quite a while. Not only is it for the Universal title, but both men have impressed us incredibly in their way here. Umaga has stampeded through various men, including Angry Gilmore and former Universal champion Eagle Kawasawa on his way here, while KOBE has upset veterans and former universal champions Awesome Thunder and Emerald Angel. Which man’s luck will run out here tonight? And who will become the new Universal champion, taking their seat on the top of the industry? [I]Prediction Key:[/I] Americana vs. Antonio Maxi Marquez Half Machine Half Amazing vs. The Samoan Wildboyz Cyber Fighter 3000© vs. Bussho Makiguchi – World Level Tap Out Panda Mask II vs. Nariaki Hitomi Silver Shark© vs. White Samurai – World Level Show Stealer Hell Monkey vs. Hidekazu The Avalanche Effect© vs. Dragon & Furusawa – World Level Tag Team Angry Gilmore vs. Emerald Angel Rhino Umaga vs. Magnum KOBE – World Level Universal [I]Predictions are welcome, as are comments. Whoever gets the most predictions rights gets two free tickets to the next pay per view, a pass to the after party, AND a poster signed by their favourite superstar.[/I] [/CENTER] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerkinney Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 Last few shows were absolutely top notch, and I am feeling a bit smug about calling the finish of the Angel- KOBE match :D [B]Americana [/B]vs. Antonio Maxi Marquez [I]Difficult one to call, it all depends on how (NOT) Champagne Lover is intending to stick around for. As I can't really decide, I'll go with personal preference.[/I] Half Machine Half Amazing vs. [B]The Samoan Wildboyz[/B] [I]Half Machine, Half Amazing are an entertaining comedy duo but don't give me that 'champions' impression. The Wildboyz on the other hand could be built as a legitimate threat in the tag ranks.[/I] Cyber Fighter 3000© vs. [B]Bussho Makiguchi[/B] – World Level Tap Out [I]Bussho's a rising talent, whilst Cyber Fighter to me will never amount to anything much more than a mid-carder at best. I say give Bussho his first title (which is the lowest on the WLW Totem Pole) and have him run with it for a bit.[/I] Panda Mask II vs. [B]Nariaki Hitomi[/B] [I]With no preview spiel, this really is the filler match of the night.....as far as I'm aware both are pretty low down the pecking order right now. In that case as both aren't really getting a push, I'll go with the one with the size advantage. [/I] [B]Silver Shark©[/B] vs. White Samurai – World Level Show Stealer [I]For some reason, I just can't see Samurai winning the title, and I just see him as a filler challenger, because all the top quality people who could challenge for the belt are/were involved in the Universal Title Tournament. Shark retains, and moves onto a new challenge, probably from someone like The Incredible Koyama. [/I] [B]Hell Monkey[/B] vs. Hidekazu [I]Simply for the fact that I'm much more familiar with Hell Monkey[/I] [B]The Avalanche Effect©[/B] vs. Dragon & Furusawa – World Level Tag Team [I]Could literally go either way, as I've tipped the Tap Out Title to change hands, I'll tip the Avalanche Effect to retain. That even's things up with 2 retainals and 2 new champions being crowned[/I] [B]Angry Gilmore[/B] vs. Emerald Angel [B]Rhino Umaga[/B] vs. Magnum KOBE – World Level Universal [I]I'll comment on these two together, I think Rhino Umaga wins the title match, whilst Gilmore wins the contenders match. Thay sets up Umaga as a bad-ass monster heel for two top quality faces to chase.[/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrdcoresidebrns Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Americana vs. [B]Antonio Maxi Marquez[/B] [I]Like TigerKinney said, this could go either way. I simply went the opposite of his choice to give me the edge in this contest. :p[/I] Half Machine Half Amazing vs. [B]The Samoan Wildboyz[/B] [I]I would love to see this begin a big push for Eguchi, but I don't see it happening.[/I] [B]Cyber Fighter 3000©[/B] vs. Bussho Makiguchi – World Level Tap Out [I]I'll pick him every time, I swear.[/I] [B] Panda Mask II[/B] vs. Nariaki Hitomi [I]Hmm... terrible vs. awful? I'll take the former, sir.[/I] Silver Shark© vs. [B]White Samurai[/B] – World Level Show Stealer [I]Samurai has been in good form lately, and I see him taking the title here.[/I] [B]Hell Monkey[/B] vs. Hidekazu [I]Hell Monkey is a god in Japan, while Hidekazu is very much not.[/I] [B]The Avalanche Effect©[/B] vs. Dragon & Furusawa – World Level Tag Team [I]I don't know, I just see Avalanche Effect retaining the titles. Dragon & Furusawa are great and all, but I don't see them winning a fifth reign here.[/I] Angry Gilmore vs. [B]Emerald Angel[/B] [I]I think Angel uses similar dodgy tactics to the last match, but gets away with it this time.[/I] Rhino Umaga vs. [B]Magnum KOBE[/B] – World Level Universal [I]This match has the "Rudy" underdog element to it, as KOBE's tournament has been much harder fought than Umaga's. Whether or not that helps or hinders him is questionable, but I just feel like KOBE's momentum is through the roof at the moment.[/I] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrekkieMonsta Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 [CENTER][U][B]WLW: Do The Dance of Shame.[/B] [/U] Held at Aormori Stadium Sunday, Week 4, January 2011 Attendance = 9,772 PPV Buy-rate = 0.60 (30,000 viwers) Announcers = Isei Deushi & Koyo Raikatuji [u][i]Pre-Show[/i][/u] [i]Dark EAGLE def. Masked Coguar – B Tasuku Shinozuka def. Takeshi Umehara - C[/i] [U][B]Match 1:[/B] Americana vs. Antonio Maxi Marquez.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AmericanElemental.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/ChampagneLover.jpg[/IMG] This was a good fast paced opener for the event, as it featured some of the best in the undercard. It started off with some quick standing switches that soon found their way to the mat, although neither was able to get any sort of advantage there either. Eventually Antonio was able to get control after catching Americana with a stiff elbow after whipping him into the ropes. He kept the match on the mat with a tight body scissors, occasionally locking in different arm or neck holds to add further pressure, but Americana was able to fight his way over to the ropes and force the Mexican to break the hold. After he got up to his feet, Antonio tried to take him over the top with a clothesline, but Americana was able to turn the tables and fling him over the top rope to the floor below. Antonio slowly got up to his feet, trying to ready himself, but Americana still connected with a handspring plancha, knocking the Mexican down again. When the match returned to the ring, with both men getting in at pretty much the same time, Americana was able to seize control of the match with a quick enziguri before running to the ropes. When he tried to connect with a head scissors however, Antonio caught him mid run with a leaping leg lariat, catching Americana right on the forehead. Antonio then looked to finish him off with the Marquez Stunner, a TKO, but Americana was able to fight out of it with a few stiff elbows right to the neck, before running to the ropes. Antonio chased after him, so Americana tried to catch him with a springboard clothesline, but Antonio caught him on his shoulders in mid-air before nailing the Marquez Stunner out of nowhere. He hooked the leg and got the victory in a good match. [B]Winner:[/B] Antonio Maxi Marquez by pinfall in 10:45 – [B]B-[/B] [U][B]Match 2:[/B] Half Machine Half Amazing vs. The Samoan Wildboyz.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/YukiHorigoshi.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EguchiTheAmazing.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AkimaBrave.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KidToma.jpg[/IMG] Not a great match by any standards, but it gave all four men time in the ring and also showcased our undercard again. When the bell rang, it was Yuki in against Toma, and the native Yuki was able to grab control almost right away with a few quick punches due to his superior power and size. However, when he whipped the smaller man across the ring for a clothesline, Toma caught him mid way through with a leaping Headbutt, almost flipping Yuki over from the impact. The bigger man staggered up to his feet almost right away, but was sent back to the mat with a belly to back suplex. Toma then tagged out to Akima, who leapt onto the top rope before coming flying off with an absolutely spectacular 450 headbutt, a move rarely ever seen before, and went for the cover, but Eguichi soon scrambled in to break it up. The mime then quickly set about creating the now semi-famous invisible wall, but when he began laughing, the Samoans simply exchanged glances before simultaneously punching him in the head and sending him out of the ring. Yuki was up to his feet by now and managed to catch the gaijins with a double clothesline, but when he went for the Yuki Rush Lariat too early, he was caught with a German Suplex/Superkick combination before falling victim to the Long Range Headbutt from Toma. Akima then promptly pulled Yuki up to his feet and although ‘100% Machine’ tried to fight out with a few quick punches and elbows, he was silenced with a quick Headbutt and then finished with the Samoan Suplex, a delayed brainbuster, giving the PPV-debut win to the Samoan Wildboyz. [B]Winners:[/B] Samoan Wildboyz by pinfall in 5:37 - [B]C-[/B] After a break we return to see the camera walking calmly along the hallway, when suddenly Panda Mask II comes flying into view and collides with the wall, having been thrown clean through the door, splintering it upon impact. He is almost out cold when we hear: “Khoklov rage, KHOKLOV SMASH” The camera quickly pans to see Marat Khoklov chucking all manners of furniture around the room he is in before storming out and around the corner. Koji Kojima then walks into view, looks around, and sums it up perfectly: “Holy *beep*”. [b]B-[/b] We then transfer to another area backstage, where Tap Out champ Cyber Fighter 3000 is being interviewed by a noticeably frustrated Seiho Kuroda. “Now, Cyber, tonight you fa..” “Beep.” “..ce Bussho Makiguchi with your title on the line.” “Affirmative.” “Do you have any thoughts on your upcoming match?” “Boooooop bap beep bop.” “Oh for goodness sake…” “Boppity beep bop.” “Why did I take this job?” “Bussho is nothing compared to the future. I am the evolution of this sport, I am the future, and I am the best champion this company will ever see.” “So it’s going to be an easy match in your view?” “Beep.” Seiho throws him arms up in resignation, chucking the microphone up into the air as he does so, while Cyber slowly begins to dance before we cut to the ring. [b]C[/b] [U][B]Match 3:[/B] Cyber Fighter 3000© vs. Bussho Makiguchi. For the World Level Tap Out title.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/CyberFighter3000.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg[/IMG] Bussho seemed to have the advantage heading into this one, as he had made the champ tap out just a day prior to this event, but instead of an upset Cyber who would be an easy victory, he got a stiff challenge. As soon as the bell rang, Cyber charged towards Bussho and was able to take him off his feet with a clothesline before driving his elbow right into the sternum of his opponent. When he went for a second, Bussho rolled out of the way and then went for an elbow himself, but Cyber also rolled out of the way and took Bussho off his feet with a running shoulder block. Cyber then ran to the ropes and tried to connect with a flip senton, but Bussho shot to his feet after Cyber ran and then floored the champ with a stiff back elbow right to the jaw. Bussho then took the match to the mat and locked Cyber in a rear Chinlock, occasionally wrenching back on his head to add even more pressure, but the champ was eventually able to fight his way up to his feet. He elbowed Bussho a few times in the gut before trying to run to the ropes, but Bussho brought him down to the mat with a sleeper slam. Bussho promptly went back to focusing on his head, driving his elbows right into the back of the champion’s skull before locking him in a grounded headlock, putting all of his weight into it. Cyber tried to fight his way out of it, but Bussho had too much pressure applied, preventing the champ from moving without being in pain. Eventually though he summoned as much energy as possible before rolling it over and then pushing Bussho up in order to get up himself. Bussho ran to the ropes, aiming to nail the Blazing Elbow, but Cyber ducked and then booted him in the gut before nailing the Cyber Hack out of nowhere. The champ quickly locked his challenger in a sharpshooter, called the De-Evolution Clutch, but Bussho was too close to the ropes and was able to wrap his arms around to force Cyber to release the hold. Cyber slowly walked backwards, waiting for Bussho to get up, and then ran to the ropes when he was up. The champ was aiming to go for a clothesline, but Bussho caught him mid-ring with the Blazing Elbow, knocking him out cold, and then cinched in the Pride Stretch, causing Cyber to pass out after a minute or so. [B]Winner:[/B] Bussho Makiguchi by submission in 11:45 – [B]B[/B] When he is handed the title, Bussho proudly hoists it up aloft. But instead of cheers he is met with a huge amount of boos, including a man with amazing sideburns yelling abuse at him. Bussho just laughed and flicked the middle fingers to the audience before heading to the back. [b]C[/b] [U][B]Match 4:[/B] Panda Mask II vs. Nariaki Hitomi[/u] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/PandaMask.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NariakiHitomi_alt.jpg[/IMG] Panda Mask was in no shape to compete at all here tonight given the horrific assault we saw earlier, but he still came down to the ring for his match. When Hitomi clambered over the ropes into the ring he took one look at his opponent before laughing and pushing him down to the mat. Panda got back up to his feet and tried to take Hitomi off his feet with a clothesline, but Hitomi just shook it off before whipping the poor youngster into the ropes, and when he came back Hitomi threw him outside with an elevated scoop slam throw. Panda landed badly on his back, and didn’t move for a while, prompting Hitomi to head outside and then roll him back in. The smaller man slowly got up to his feet, using the ropes to help him, but Hitomi gave him little time to relax as he dragged Panda into the middle of the ring, booted him in the gut, and then drove him into the mat with the Hitomi Crush-Plex, a falcon arrow, and got the cover. [B]Winner:[/B] Nariaki Hitomi by pinfall in 4:40 – [B]C-[/B] We then see a quick hype video for the next match, Silver Shark vs. White Samurai for the show stealer title. [b]B-[/b] [U][B]Match 5:[/B] Silver Shark© vs. White Samurai For the World Level Show Stealer title..[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg[/IMG] Silver Shark seemed noticeably angrier than usual, as the second the bell rang, he charged at Samurai and took him off his feet with a back elbow before locking him in a body scissors. Samurai was able to escape the hold pretty easily, but the second he got up to his feet Shark send him right back down with a leaping enziguri before heading up to the top rope. Shark signalled and then came flying off with a diving leg drop, connecting right with the throat of Samurai, before going for the cover. Samurai kicked out after the two, but Shark remained in control, pulling him up to his feet and then whipping him into the corner. However, when the champ tried to follow up with a corner clothesline, Samurai leapt over him and then sent him backwards into the mat with a release German Suplex, dumping the champ right on his head. Samurai then stole control away from Shark by locking him in a tight leg lock, preventing the champ from moving. This eventually lead to the two going hold for hold with each other before both were on their feet. A brief moment passed with the two men staring each other down before both ran to the ropes. Samurai tried to connect with a kitchen sink knee, but Shark somersaulted over him and then caught him with a quick snap suplex out of nowhere. Shark then locked him in a single leg Boston crab, but when he tried to really cinch it in, Samurai quickly scrambled over to the ropes to force him to break the hold. When Shark tried to pull Samurai back up to his feet, the youngster was able to stun the veteran with a quick uppercut before driving him into the mat with a neckbreaker. Samurai was able to remain in control for a little while before heading up top for the Art of War. However, just as he was balancing himself, Shark followed him up and tried to bring him down with a superplex. The two battled it out before Samurai was able to keep his place on the rope and instead sent the champ back down to the mat by shoving him off. When Samurai leapt off to connect with the move, Shark put his feet up, causing the youngster to crash and burn. Samurai leapt to his feet clutching his gut and yelling in pain, but he was silenced when Shark was able to catch him with the Deep Sea Snap when he turned around. Shark fell on top for the cover, and got the victory in a fairly hard fought match. [B]Winner:[/B] Silver Shark by pinfall in 14:22 – [B]B[/B] After a quick break we see a hype video for the tag title match between Dragon & Furusawa and champions The Avalanche Effect. [b]B-[/b] [U][B]Match 6:[/B] Hell Monkey vs. Hidekazu[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HellMonkey.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Hidekazu.jpg[/IMG] This was really nothing more than a glorified squash really, but it was a really good one, as the veteran Hidekazu showed some great skills and proved why he was one of the hottest talents around during his prime. Sadly, Monkey is still in his prime and is simply amazing, and as soon as the bell rang he had the veteran on the back foot, taking him out with a quick roundhouse kick. Hidekazu was up to his feet quite quickly, showing little effect from the kick and the two exchanged blows until the veteran was able to daze Monkey with a punch and then ran to the ropes. When he came back though, Monkey caught him with a rolling wheel kick, catching him across the face. Hidekazu staggered to his feet, clearly dazed, but Monkey didn’t mind, as he booted the veteran in the gut before sending him into the corner. Monkey followed up with a strong back elbow, causing Hidekazu to slump down to the bottom turnbuckles. The gaijin then promptly followed up by smashing his foot across the face of the veteran several times before running to the ropes and connecting with a running kick across the jaw. He then pulled a dazed Hidekazu up to his feet, dragged him into the center of the ring and booted him in the gut. Monkey then nailed a hesitation kick right to the back of the head before nailing the Hell Fire Kick, knocking the veteran Hidekazu out cold for the cover and the victory. [B]Winner:[/B] Hell Monkey by pinfall in 7:02 – [B]B[/B] After a quick commercial break highlighting the merchandise available at our site, we got backstage to see Angry Gilmore in his locker room. He is slowly wrapping tape around his wrists, a look of complete seriousness on his face. It is a little while before he talks, but when he does it is in a fairly low and monotonous tone. “Tonight is all about one thing for me, and that is getting another title shot for the belt that would mean the world to me if I were to wear it around my waist.” He stands up and quickly jabs a couple of times into the air before resting against the wall with one hand and looking down at the floor. “I was cheated out of my title shot here tonight, when the Russian ‘Monster’, Marat Khoklov, decided to take his frustrations out on me, nearly breaking my back in the process. And as such, I was not at my best for a very brutal match with Rhino Umaga. Because of that, it is now that Samoan who is getting the title shot tonight, not me.” He wipes his free hand over his face before resting with his back on the wall, looking directly at the camera. “Let me just say this, Rhino Umaga, your days are numbered in this company. You took advantage of an injured man in order to further your own ends. Normally, I should be respectful and say the better man won, and that I shouldn’t have gone out there due to my injury…but then I wouldn’t be where I am today. I go out there each and every night doing my best, making sure everybody in the arena is happy. So whoever wins that match tonight, consider me your next contender, regardless of whether or not I come out the victor in my match. And if it is you Rhino, you will wish you never met me, as I will make your life a living hell.” He takes a few more jabs at the air, breathes out heavily and then walks out of the room. The camera pans back into the room and zooms in on a picture of Rhino Umaga with about four or five darts stuck in his face. [b]B[/b] [U][B]Match 7:[/B] The Avalanche Effect© vs. Dragon & Furusawa For the World Level Tag Team titles.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg[/IMG] These two teams again showed why they are our two premier teams when they produced another great match. After the draw during their previous face off, both had a lot to prove, as this match was not only for the tag titles but for the distinction of being the undisputed top team in WLW right now. Both were veteran/youngster combinations, but they worked as if the young were decade long veterans, as there were various slick double teams throughout the match. At the start of the match, the legal men were Koki and Mabuchi, and once again these two engaged in a truly great technical showdown, going hold for hold with each other until the bigger Mabuchi was able to throw the veteran across the ring with a belly to belly and then tag out to Dragon. Dragon leapt onto the top rope, and when Koki got up to his feet tried to catch him with diving cross body, but Koki rolled it through and then drove the gaijin into the mat with a powerslam. Koki then tried to take the advantage with knee lock, but Dragon was able to roll him over and then kicked Koki in the face. The gaijin used this time while Koki was dazed to get up to his feet and then try to floor him with a clothesline. However, Koki was able to duck under it in time and then take Dragon off his feet with a quick leg sweep. Koki then pulled Dragon up to his feet before slapping him into an inverted sleeper. The veteran occasionally wrenched back further to add to the pressure, but he did that one too many times, as Dragon used this pull to flip himself over the head of Koki and then nail the Dragon Drop right in the middle of the ring. He made the cover, but Koyama flew in and clocked the veteran Englishman across the side of the head with a double axe handle. Mabuchi then clambered into the ring and began to exchange blows with Koyama until both were on the outside. Dragon tried to keep control on Koki, but Koki was able to outwit his fellow veteran and pulled him down to the mat with an armbar takedown before locking him in a wrist lock, intent on keeping the match on the mat. Dragon struggled initially, but was eventually able to flip out of the hold and he then clocked Koki across the face with a jumping enziguri, before climbing onto the top rope. Dragon tried to come flying off with a diving senton, but Koki rolled out of the way just in time. Koki then pulled the veteran gaijin up to his feet and tried to nail the Ishibashi Effect, but Mabuchi came out of nowhere and clubbed him in the back with a Mongolian chop. Koki staggered forward, leaving him open for a double team, the Gap Crusher, where Mabuchi hoisted him into the air in a military press slam, and then Dragon connected with a mule kick to the back of the head. Koki seemed to be out of it from that, but he kicked out just in time, and then made the hot tag to Koyama after catching Dragon and Furusawa with a double dropkick. Koyama leapt onto the top rope and came flying off with a double clothesline, before running to the ropes and then connecting with a springboard moonsault to Dragon and going for the cover. Dragon kicked out just before the three count, and Koyama promptly pulled him back up to his feet before whipping him across the ring. Koyama ran the opposite way, and then met Dragon in the middle of the ring with a tilt-a-whirl head scissors, sending the veteran tumbling out of the ring. Koyama then followed up with a leaping corkscrew splash to Dragon when he tried to get up, taking both men down for a little while. Koki jumped off the apron and ran round to try and double team on Dragon, but what he didn’t realise was Mabuchi in the ring, hopping up and down in place. The fans started out at a low pitch and then raised it as Mabuchi ran across the ring, bounced off the ropes and then went flying over the top rope with a no handed plancha, causing the crowd to cheer in awe, as Mabuchi was a very heavy man. Eventually the action returned to the ring, with Koyama in control of Dragon, but when he tried to go for the Incredible Death Spike, a destroyer piledriver, Dragon threw him over head with a back body drop and then tagged out to Mabuchi. Furusawa ran towards Koyama, and pulled him up to his feet before putting him in position for a wheelbarrow facebuster. Koki tried to intervene, but Dragon caught him with a head scissors and then ran over to Mabuchi to complete the Fire Driver Mk. II, a variation of the original, with a double knee facebuster from Dragon instead of a cutter. Mabuchi rolled Koyama over for the cover while Dragon took care of Koki, knocking his fellow veteran to the outside. The fans counted along as the referee made the count. One… Two… Three! Dragon & Furusawa are 4-time Tag team champions! [B]Winner:[/B] Dragon & Furusawa by pinfall in 15:17 – [B]B+[/B] Dragon & Furusawa then held their belts proudly aloft to the loud cheers of the audience, with Mabuchi nearly crying out of happiness to have one yet another title. [b]B-[/b] We then quickly see a hype video for the Gilmore vs. Angel match that is up next! [b]B+[/b] [U][B]Match 8:[/B] Angry Gilmore vs. Emerald Angel.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AngryGilmore.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EmeraldAngel.jpg[/IMG] Both of these men are incredibly talented, and both nearly stole the show if it were not for the main event. The match started out with both men on fairly even footing, as neither was able to gain any sort of momentum in the early going, but this changed when Angel got a little too overconfident and tried to nail a handspring head scissors, but instead found himself on the wrong end of a wheelbarrow suplex, with Gilmore dumping him right on his head. Angel rolled around clasping his skull in pain, but Gilmore just pulled him right back up to his feet and then sent him overhead again with a normal suplex before going for the cover. Angel kicked out just in time and when Gilmore ran to the ropes to catch Angel with a shining wizard, Angel kipped up and then caught the gaijin with a hurracanrana that sent him to the outside. Gilmore managed to get back up to his feet, but Angel caught him with the running shooting star press to the outside, keeping both men down for a while before they rolled in at around six or seven. Gilmore immediately tried to get back in control, but when he tried to go for a neckbreaker Angel countered it with a stiff kick to the gut and then caught Gilmore with a dropsault to the side of the head. Gilmore dropped to the mat, and was defenceless against the standing 450 from Angel, who went for the cover upon impact, only to have Gilmore kick out a split second after two. He pulled the gaijin up to his feet, but when he tried to whip Gilmore into the corner, he was whipped in there himself instead, and he hit the turnbuckles incredibly stiffly. Gilmore managed to follow up with a running leg lariat, taking him onto the apron, and when Angel staggered out of the corner Gilmore sling shotted himself back in for a missile dropkick, connecting right with the jaw of Angel. Gilmore then took the match to the mat, trying to take away the aerial advantage of Angel by focusing on his knees, including locking him in a rather loose Texas Cloverleaf. However, when it seemed like Angel was going to get to the ropes, instead of trying to cinch it in more, Gilmore transitioned it into a sharpshooter, but pushed Angel’s legs down to around his knee, before driving that same knee into the mat several times, causing Angel to scream in pain. Gilmore dragged the youngster back into the middle of the ring and pulled him up to his feet before sending him crashing back down with a knee breaker, causing Angel to yell out in pain once again. The gaijin then slowed the match down a little bit with a grounded headlock, keeping Angel down on the mat, but the youngster proved more resilient than Gilmore though, as he used his good leg to claw his way over to the ropes and then placed his foot on the bottom rope, forcing Gilmore to release him. The gaijin got a little frustrated and pulled Angel to his feet, but got clubbed in the jaw with a stiff forearm smash before Angel ran to the ropes, albeit noticeably slower than usual due to his bad knee. However, when Angel tried to connect with a clothesline, Gilmore leapfrogged him and then caught him with a stiff thrust kick right to the chest when he returned, causing the youngster to flip over backwards and gasp for air due to the impact. Gilmore then tried to lock him in a camel clutch, but despite all the punishment he was taking, Angel still fought through and got over to the ropes before the gaijin could properly lock the hold in. Angel used the ropes to slowly pull himself up, and when Gilmore came charging towards him, he summoned as much energy as he could and pulled off the Angel Grace II, a moonsault press, but this time using the ropes to springboard into the move. He hooked the leg almost immediately, but Gilmore kicked out just before the referee got to two. Angel took some time to recover, but this was just what Gilmore needed, as he took a few moments himself before catching the young sensation with a basement dropkick, and then forced him to sit up again. The gaijin then ran to the ropes and connected with a stiff running football kick right to the base of the spine, causing Angel to yell in pain and roll out of the ring. Gilmore then took some time to recover again while waiting for Angel to get back in the ring, but when he saw Angel trying to sneak up the ramp, he ran towards Angel and flew in between the ropes and connected with a diving plancha right to the sternum, sending Angel tumbling down the ramp again. Gilmore then remained in solid control for the final minutes of the match, but when he tried to nail the Anger Management, Angel elbowed him several times in the side of the head and then caught him with the Angel Spike, leaving both men down. Angel was the first man up, still limping however, and when he tried to nail a corkscrew senton from the second rope Gilmore was ready for him, putting his knees up. Angel grabbed his gut and tried to follow up with a head scissors, but Gilmore clotheslined him and then leapt up onto the top rope before busting out the ever beautiful Picture Perfect Moonsault. Angel had moved however, causing Gilmore to crash and burn as well. The youngster then tried to drag the dazed veteran to his feet, but Gilmore fought him off with a few forearm shots before running to the ropes. When he tried to follow up with a back elbow, Angel caught him with a thumb to the eye. Gilmore yelled in pain for a few seconds before looking at Angel and wagging his finger at the stunned youngster. Angel ran to the ropes, locking for a step up head scissors, but Angry booted him in the gut and planted him with a particularly vicious Anger Management, before rolling him over and getting the victory to become the #1 Contender. [B]Winner:[/B] Angry Gilmore by pinfall in 19:26 – [B]A[/B] We then see the final hype video of the night, promoting the main event. It highlights the respective tournament paths of both Umaga and Kobe, and then shows what tonight’s match is for, the World Level Universal title. [b]A[/b] [U][B]Match 8:[/B] Rhino Umaga vs. Magnum KOBE. For the World Level Universal title.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/RhinoUmaga.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MagnumKobe.jpg[/IMG] This was easily one of the most anticipated matches in recent months for both our company and Japan as a whole. Rhino had steamrolled through his opponents with apparent ease, while Kobe has had a relatively harder time, but has beaten out veterans and star players like Awesome Thunder and Emerald Angel. When the match started, Umaga got the control almost right away, pummelling the smaller Kobe with a series of vicious punches, and then whipped him across the ring. Kobe tried to counter with a running shoulder block, but Rhino just shook it off and then floored Kobe with a short-arm clothesline, before connecting with a leaping knee drop. Rhino then dragged Kobe up to his feet before whipping him across the ring, but this time he got caught with a springboard missile dropkick that took him off his feet. Kobe tried to keep him down on the ground with a grounded headlock, but the big Samoan was able to power out of it and got up to his feet before driving Kobe into the mat with a gutwrench suplex. Umaga pulled Kobe back up to his feet before whipping him into the corner, but when he tried to follow up with a splash Kobe rolled out of the way and then dropkicked Umaga into the turnbuckles. The big man staggered backwards out of the corner, and Kobe tried to send him flying with a release German Suplex, but he was too big for Kobe to lift, and Rhino easily broke his hold and clubbed Kobe across the face with a stiff punch that sent him down to one knee. Rhino then ran to the ropes, trying to take Kobe out with a clothesline, but Kobe leapfrogged him, and then again when he returned. When Rhino bounced off of the ropes again, Kobe ran the other way and then connected with a running dropkick right to the jaw of the big man, stunning him. He then followed up with a leaping head scissors, sending Rhino rolling out of the ring to the outside. Kobe took a moment to regain his breath before rebounding off the ropes and connecting with a moonsault to the outside after leaping onto the top rope. Rhino went down, sliding into the barricade and grabbed his head, having hit it on the top. When Kobe tried to pull the big man to his feet to take him back into the ring, Rhino turned the tables on him and brought him into the barricade as well. Umaga then slowly got up to his feet before pulling a dazed Kobe up as well. He then whipped the smaller man into the ring before following in after. Kobe slowly got up to his feet, but Rhino quickly closed the gap and sent Kobe overhead with a release belly to belly. Umaga went for the cover, but Kobe kicked out. Umaga got a little angry and climbed on top of the youngster and began to pummel away with a series of stiff punches, but the referee pulled him off before disqualifying him. Rhino tried to get back on top, but Kobe kipped up to his feet and then caught Rhino with a lightning quick enziguri out of nowhere, with the impact resounding throughout the arena. Rhino’s eyes looked as if he had just been hit by a freight train before he fell face first to the mat. Kobe took a few moments to recover before focusing on the legs of the big man, driving his knee into the knees of the big man and locking him in a variety of painful knee and leg locks, but nothing seemed to be working, as Rhino refused to give up, no matter what hold he was placed in. Kobe then tried to lock him in an bridged face lock, but Rhino rolled over after an initial struggle, squashing Kobe underneath him. The gaijin took a few moments before pulling Kobe up to his feet and then nailing a few stiff chops that sent Kobe staggering backwards into the corner. Umaga then followed up with a few shoulder thrusts right into the gut of Kobe, sending the smaller man to the bottom turnbuckle. The big man then took a few steps back before charging in with a running knee right to the jaw. When Kobe slumped out of the corner, Rhino went up top for the first time in a while. Just as he was gaining his balance, Kobe got up to his feet and connect with a super rana out of nowhere, leaping the entire distance up in one vertical leap, without needing to climb the ropes. Rhino tumbled off of the top rope, hitting the mat hard. Kobe quickly followed up with a leg drop and then a flip senton to the big man, trying to keep him down as long as possible. He looked like he was going to go for the Magnum Deathlock, but suddenly changed his mind. Mr. Miwa was absolutely livid at ringside, yelling for his client to get up to his feet while Kobe went up to the top himself. He signalled to the crowd, who cheered amazingly loudly, before coming flying off with a Corkscrew Shooting Star Press, connecting right with the gut of Rhino. He hooked the leg, and the crowd counted along with the referee. One… Two… No! The crowd went silent in awe, and the look on Kobe’s face was one of utter disbelief. Rhino had kicked out after only two from one of the biggest moves in Kobe’s arsenal. Kobe pulled the big man up to his feet, and tried to hoist him up for the Magnum Rocket Drive, but even with Kobe putting all of his strength into it, Rhino was just too heavy, and the big man dropped down behind Kobe. The big man clubbed him in the back, causing him to stagger forward, but when Rhino tried to go for a backdrop suplex, Kobe backflipped out of the move and then connected with a dropsault. The smaller man rushed to the ropes, trying to gain some momentum, but Rhino met him mid-way with the Rhino Charge, almost snapping him in half. Kobe’s eyes glazed over as Rhino draped his arm across the youngster’s chest. The crowd was nearly silent in amazement from the last move, but a fair few were counting along with the referee. One… Two… Three! [B]Winner:[/B] Rhino Umaga by pinfall in 21:51 – [B]A[/B] Mr. Miwa leapt up and down almost hysterically when the referee hit the mat a third time, and the crowd who weren’t counting before exploded into boos. The referee checked on the fallen Kobe before the timekeeper handed him the belt. Miwa snatched the title away and placed it on Rhino’s shoulder before proudly celebrating with his client.

TrekkieMonsta Posted June 27, 2008 Author Share Posted June 27, 2008 [CENTER][I]Cheers for the predictions guys, and it looks like Tigerkinney is the winner in terms of predictions. Get out of my head sir! :p. Sorry the last post wasn't up sooner, I've was hit with four A2 projects this last week, and that has taken up my after school time.[/I] [U]WorldLevelWrestling.jp[/U] [u]News[/u] Young Kenyan star, Lassana Makutsi, has signed a written deal with WLW, and will make his debut this week. [i]OOC: Lassana has become amazingly talented since 2008, averaging a B in pretty much every skill, except Stamina, athleticism and power, which are A’s and a B+ respectively.[/i] WLW also congratulate prediction contest winner Tigerkinney on correctly predicting almost all of Do the Dance of Shame. For his prize, he wins tickets to the after party which will take part this Tuesday, tickets to Pork: It’s What’s for Dinner in February, and a poster signed by his favourite star. All he needs to do is tell us who his favourite star is! [u]Card[/u] This week we experience the fall out of the successful Do the Dance of Shame. The kick off the first show this week, we have Nariaki Hitomi taking on Eguichi The Amazing while The Tic takes on the re-debuting Bulldozer Brandon Smith. Which of these men will get on track and begin to rise up the card? Can BBS upset the popular Tic on his first match of the tour? We then have a semi-revenge match as the leader of Circle of Blood, the returning Dark EAGLE, takes on new tag champ UK Dragon in singles action. A win here could catapult CoB right back into contention, while Dragon will be looking for a victory to further solidify his teams claim as the best in the company. We then have the first Streetfighting title match of the year, as Koyama puts the belt on the line against veteran Takeshi Umehara. Can the veteran get back on the winning track in the best way possible, beating one of the fastest rising stars in Japan today? Or will he simply be added as another man on the defeated list? And to finish off that show we have The Great Hisato vs. Haru Kurofuji. Neither of these cornerstones of WLW faired very well in the tournament, and will be looking to get back in the race here. Who will come out the winner in what is sure to be an amazing match? Then on the second card this week, we have Lassana Makutsi making his debut against Show Stealer champion in non-title action. Can he make a major impact in his first match, or will Shark force him to pay his dues first? KOKI Ishibashi looks to do the same as his leader Dark EAGLE on this card when he takes on familiar rival Mabuchi Furusawa. Who will come out on top? We then have Bulldozer Brandon Smith making another appearance, this time against Koyama in a non-title contest. Will he pick up an upset win here, or will Koyama end the gaijin’s dreams right away? Angry Gilmore then takes on the debuting Dark Angel in what is set to be a fantastic match. Gilmore was noticeably more serious than usual before his match at DtDoS, will it be the same in this match, and if so, does Dark Angel know what is coming to him? And in the main event, we have Koshiro Ino taking on Awesome Thunder. Ino made an impressive re-debut against Nariaki Hitomi last week, can he continue this momentum against one of the top stars this company has? Or will Thunder get back on track with a big win over the face painted warrior?

When the bell rang, Hitomi used his power advantage to club Eguichi across the face and then whip him across the ring for a spinebuster, driving Eguichi into the mat with devastating force. He stayed in control for a fair little while, only losing it when he went for the Hitomi Crush-Plex, as Eguichi was able to wriggle out of it and then catch the big man with a dropkick to the back. The mime then seemed to create a sword and thrust it at Hitomi, who caught it between his hands effortlessly, causing the smaller man to stagger backwards in awe. The big man promptly threw it away before flooring Eguichi with a clothesline, and then dragged him back up to his feet for the Hitomi Crush-Plex, the mat shaking from the impact, getting the fairly easy victory. [B]Winner:[/B] Nariaki Hitomi by pinfall in 4:58 – [B]C-[/B] After he stopped celebrating, Hitomi grabbed a microphone from ringside and climbed back into the ring. “Now now now ladies, keep yourselves calm, you’re on television. All of that can wait until after the show, we’ll all get together and go for ride in my limo.” The camera pans the audience to reveal that there are no actual madly hyper ladies at all. “If you can stop staring at these perfect abs for a few seconds, I’d like you to listen. For a few months now, a man, who believes that he is some sort of leader of this underwater-ish place, has held the title that undoubtedly belongs around this gorgeous waist. This fool is Silver Shark, the ‘Show Stealer’ champion. Now….let’s be honest, which of us two gets more attention from the crowd? A gorgeous physical specimen like myself, or some 40-something year old man who has the mind of a 4 year old? You don’t have to answer, because of course it’s me. So, Sharky boy, I challenge you to for that title of yours at Pork: It’s What’s for Dinner in a few weeks time, then the fans will finally be represented by somebody who they actually want to see.” [b]C+[/b] [U][B]Match 2:[/B] The Tic vs. Bulldozer Brandon Smith.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheTic.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BulldozerBrandonSmith.jpg[/IMG] An impressive debut for the young Brandon, as he showed the skills that have made him a rising star on both sides of the globe. When the bell rang, he tried to use his strength in much the same way as Hitomi earlier, but Tic was far too quick for him, being able to duck a clothesline and then dive between his legs when he went for a shoulder block. However, when the Tic tried to go for a cross body, Brandon caught him and then flung him overhead with a fallaway slam. The Tic hit the mat hard and grabbed his back, but he got barely anytime to breath as Brandon dragged him into the middle of the ring, and like a bear when it smells blood, he targeted Tic’s back, driving his knee into it several times before lifting him up into an elevated surfboard. The smaller man struggled to hold on, but eventually Brandon got bored and released him, waiting for the more experienced man to get back up to his feet. This was a mistake however, as the second the Tic was up, he charged towards Brandon and caught him with a spinning head scissors, sending him across the ring. The Tic remained in control for a little while, but towards the end of the match Brandon had stolen it back. However, the gaijin got a little bit c0cky, as he tried to go for the Backdrop Driver a bit too hastily, allowing the Tic to easily backflip out of it. The smaller man quickly ran to the ropes, and noticed that Brandon was chasing after him. The former footballer was aiming to catch the Tic and drive him into the mat with a powerslam, but the Tic surprised him with a springboard Tic Leap, a double knee press to the shoulders. This stunned the big man long enough for the more popular Tic to pick up the win, but Brandon had impressed, as this match was very solid. [B]Winners:[/B] The Tic by pinfall in 10:52 - [B]B[/B] We then see a quick video hyping up UK Dragon, including his big wins over the last couple of years. Clips included were his Junior title win back in June 2010, pinning Sensational Dragon, a title he still holds at the moment, and his recent tag title win alongside Mabuchi Furusawa. [b]C+[/b] [U][B]Match 3:[/B] UK Dragon vs. Dark EAGLE.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DarkEagle.jpg[/IMG] Both of these two are true veterans of the game, and it showed as they went pretty much hold for hold and move for move for a majority of the match, with the control only falling into somebody’s hands near the end. Dragon seemed ready to put Eagle away with the Dragon Drop in the final minutes, having stunned his fellow veteran with a dropkick to the back, but Eagle was able to break out of the face lock and then take the gaijin to the mat with a spinning neckbreaker, driving Dragon’s head right into the mat. Eagle then focused on that region of Dragon’s body, locking him in several necklocks and head locks, but it didn’t seem to affect the gaijin, as he managed to fight his way over to the ropes during a grounded head lock, and used the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet. Eagle tried to take him to the outside with a clothesline, but Dragon ducked under his feet and threw the veteran over head to the floor below. Eagle got up to his feet slowly, favouring his back, as he hit the apron on the way down, but when he tried to get back in the ring, Dragon kicked him right in the face with a baseball slide before engaging in a brawl with the veteran native. Neither man really gained any advantage until Eagle was able to duck a punch and then drop Dragon across the top of the barricade with an inverted suplex following a kick to the back. Dragon yelled out in pain, and struggled back into the ring, while Eagle got in a lot easier, but he was still favouring his back. Eagle pulled the veteran gaijin up to his feet and whipped him into the corner, and tried to follow up with a back elbow, but Dragon backflipped over him, and then caught him with a poison rana, spiking him right on his head. This stunned the local veteran enough for Dragon to pull him up to his feet and quickly hit the Dragon Drop for the pinfall victory. [B]Winner:[/B] UK Dragon by pinfall in 13:07 – [B]B[/B] UK Dragon then quickly celebrates the victory before high tailing it out of the ring when the other Circle of Blood members run to the ring to attack him. [b]B[/b] We then see a quick hype video for the Streetfighting title match next. [b]C[/b] [U][B]Match 4:[/B] The Incredible KOYAMA© vs. Takeshi Umehara Hardcore match for the World Level Streetfighting Title.[/u] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TakesiUmehara.jpg[/IMG] This was set to be a brutal contest, and it delivered just that to the expecting audience. Each man wheeled down a trolley filled with weapons down to the ring, with Koyama brandishing his trademark wooden staff on his shoulders, along with a smattering of other weapons. When the bell rang, the youngster managed to trip up the veteran Takeshi with a drop toehold, then stomped away madly at the back of his head. The veteran tried to block the following barrage of punches, but several shots got through, rendering him defenceless. Koyama then rolled out to the outside and whipped out the first weapon, a guitar, before rolling back in. Takeshi staggered around once he was back on his feet, but when Koyama went to swing the guitar, the veteran was able to duck it and then catch the youngster with a dropkick. Koyama dropped the weapon, and as he went to pick it back up, Takeshi connected with a running knee to the face, stunning Koyama and making him fall onto the guitar. The veteran then ran to the corner, climbed up top, and came flying off with a diving leg drop to the back of the youngster’s head, breaking the guitar when he did so. The veteran was solidly in control, and he pulled Koyama up to his feet before attempting a suplex, but when he lifted the youngster up over his head, Koyama landed on his feet and then brought the veteran crashing down with a neckbreaker. This left both men down for a while, as Koyama was still recovering from having his face sprayed with guitar splinters. When they eventually got up to their feet, Takeshi tried to go for a punch, but Koyama ducked underneath it and then planted the veteran with a back suplex. He then rolled back out of the ring, chucking in a chair, his wooden staff, and shoving a table in as well. He then rolled in, grabbed the wooden staff and then waited for the veteran Takeshi to get up to his feet. When he did, Koyama laid him out with the Ong Bak Beatdown, first striking him across the head with the staff, spinning it behind his back, struck him again from the other direction, threw the staff in the air, cracked it over the top of his head, spun it a few more times, and then struck him across the knees, causing the veteran to flip forward onto his back. Koyama held the staff high, and the crowd cheered loudly, causing Koyama to position the chair behind the still down Takeshi. The champ then dragged the veteran up to his feet, booted him in the gut, and then nailed the Koyama Death Spike, a flip piledriver, right onto the chair, causing the whole crowd to groan, as it looked deadly. Takeshi was busted open and out cold, allowing Koyama to make the academic cover and get the victory. [B]Winner:[/B] The Incredible KOYAMA by pinfall in 15:20 – [B]B[/B] After a brief commercial, and a quick photo album showing pictures from the after party the day before, including the fan acknowledged as Tigerkinney dancing with four hot girls around him, we go backstage to see Haru Kurofuji holding a microphone. “Maybe somebody would like to explain to me why the hell I wasn’t scheduled for last Sunday? I am the biggest damn star this company has ever seen, and it wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for my efforts. As far as tonight is concerned, I couldn’t give a damn, but I demand that I get a title shot at the next pay per view, bringing some goddamn star quality to this company.” [b]B-[/b] [U][B]Match 5:[/B] The Great Hisato vs. Haru Kurofuji.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheGreatHisato.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HaruKurofuji.jpg[/IMG] From the second the bell rang, this was a fast paced contest, with both men having missions from the match. Both had not had the best of successes of late, so they were both equally keen to come away with the win. When the match started, Hisato tried to take Haru down with a quick dropkick, but Haru swatted his legs away, causing him to fall to the mat, and then locked his fellow veteran in a tight leg lock, really wrenching back on the knee. Hisato screamed out in pain, and tried to get the ropes, but Haru kept dragging him back into the middle of the ring whenever he shifted. He even came close to tapping, but his famous resilience came to the forefront as he kicked away at Haru with his free leg, then kipped up to his feet, catching Haru with an enziguri out of nowhere when he stood up. Hisato stayed down after this, using the time to nurse his knee, but he took a little too much time to relax, as Haru was able to catch him with a running knee right to the face, and then went right back to working on his knee. This time, he locked Hisato in a leg hold Boston Crab, sitting on the lower back of Hisato, causing him to yell out in pain louder than before. Haru just smiled at his pain, and wrenched the legs back further from time to time to add to the pressure. Hisato was eventually able to fight against Haru and clawed his way over to the ropes, forcing his fellow veteran to release him. Hisato used them to pull himself up, but when he tried to chase after Haru, his knee buckled underneath him, leaving him prey for a running dropkick to the face. Haru pulled him back up to his feet before planting him with a facebuster, stunning his fellow veteran. He then quickly ran up the turnbuckles before leaping off with a corkscrew senton right to the back of the knee of Hisato, which he seemed intent on destroying right now. He rolled to the outside, dragging Hisato to the corner post, and seemed ready to smash it against the ring post when Hisato wrenched his leg back, ironically pulling Haru with it, causing the veteran to go face first into the ring post instead. Hisato took some time to recover before heading to the outside. He battered away at Haru with several punches before sending him overhead with a suplex to the uncovered concrete, but he upset his knee again it seemed, as he clutched it after nailing the move. He quickly rolled back into the ring, awaiting Haru, but when he tried to go for the Green Emerald Future, Haru was able to catch him after Hisato hurdled the top rope, and turned the head scissors into a powerbomb, planting Hisato right on his head. Haru dragged Hisato in with him, but neither man really moved for a while, considering the beatings both had taken. The first man up to his feet was Hisato, who seemed to have recovered on his knee, as he barely limped over to pull Haru up to his feet, but the wily veteran Haru kicked Hisato’s knee when he was pulled up, causing Hisato to drop down to one knee. Haru then ran to the ropes with amazing speed, but when he came back, Hisato caught him with a one footed dropkick right to the jaw that flipped Haru right over. Hisato was now in control, and he connected with a series of stomps and kicks to the kidneys of Haru before pulling him up to his feet and whipping him across the ring into the corner. When Hisato ran in, Haru tried to counter with a clothesline, but Hisato leapfrogged him, managing to leap onto the top rope in doing so. He then ran across the ropes and caught Haru with a diving cross body when he turned around, completing the Jade Warrior Plunge. Hisato made the cover, but his fellow veteran kicked out after barely two, causing Hisato to question the ref. Haru was back up on his feet soon, and connected with a chop block right to the back of Hisato’s knees, causing the veteran to yell in pain again and drop down to the mat. Haru climbed up to the top rope, attempting to end the match with the Suicide Headbutt, but when he flew off, Hisato rolled away just in time, causing Haru to stun himself upon hitting the mat. ‘The Great One’ then got up to his feet, waiting for Haru to do the same, aiming to go for the Mystic Dragon Wave, but when he flung Haru overhead for the first German Suplex, Haru landed on his feet and then caught the veteran with a lungblower. Hisato was knocked breathless and struggled to get up to his feet, leaving him prey to Haru, who connected with a quick enziguri to the back of his head before dragging him into the middle of the ring for the Kurofuji Crab. Hisato put up a massive amount of resistance, refusing to tap out despite the incredible amount of damage it was doing and the sheer pain he was in, but when Haru added insult to injury by lazily leaning back onto the back of Hisato, that he finally tapped out, as it was just too much to bear. [B]Winner:[/B] Haru Kurofuji by submission in 21:16 – [B]A[/B] As Haru begins to celebrate, there is a sudden eruption of cheers as Koshiro Ino stormed out to the ring, pegging it down the ramp. He then got right in the face of Haru, most likely over what the veteran had said earlier. Before the argument got too dangerous some officials ran down to the ring and separated the two, but they never lost eye contact with each other, with each man staring a hole through the other.

TrekkieMonsta Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 [CENTER][I]Cheers Tigerkinney, means a bunch coming from you :). To be quite honest, most of the write-ups weren’t originally meant to be that long, as I was only going to do that much for the tournament matches, but I’ve recently had a lot of fun doing them, so it's nice to know you like them :D [/i] [U][B]Tour Show #10.[/B] [/U] Held at the Miyagi Athletic Stadium Saturday, Week 1, February 2011 Attendance = 2,000 (Sell-out!) Announcers = Isei Deushi & Koyo Raikatuji [u][i]Pre-Show[/i][/u] [i]Cyber Fighter 3000 def. Mamoru Nagahama – C- Shinozuka & Umehara def. Glenn & Ienari – C[/i] To kick off we have a hype video for the Koshiro Ino vs. Awesome Thunder main event. [b]B[/b] [U][B]Match 1:[/B] Silver Shark vs. Lassana Makutsi. Non-title.[/U]. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/LassanaMakutsi.jpg[/IMG] The young Lassana had been making waves on the American independent scene since he was released from his contract in late 2010, and now finds his way to Japan. When the match started, Shark tried to take the youngster down with a leg sweep, but Lassana caught the veteran champion across the face with a stiff punch right to the jaw. He stumbled backwards, only to be sent to the mat with another punch. Lassana promptly pulled Shark back up to his feet, and realising that he was dazed, looked to finish him off, first battering away at his skull with a series of seven or eight punches, then connected with five alternate knee strikes to the face before connecting with a leaping double knee strike. He then backed away, measuring up the champion, but when he charged in with the finishing punch to the temple, called the Assassin’s Strike, the veteran ducked underneath and threw the youngster across the ring with a release German Suplex, causing him to land right on the top of his head. Shark then took the match to the mat, locking him in a variety of tight and painful holds centered around the shoulders and head, but just when it seemed like he was going to lock in the Jaws of Life, Nariaki Hitomi emerged from the crowd and pulled the referee out of the ring, knocking him out for a little bit as the ref’s face hit the apron. Hitomi then rolled into the ring, pulled the veteran of Lassana, and then drove him into the mat with the Hitomi Crush-Plex. He then scooted out of the ring and up the ramp as the referee came to and re-entered the ring, seeing Lassana coming to and getting up to his feet. Shark staggered up to his feet, dazed from the attack, and fell prey to the Assassin’s Strike, knocking him out and allowing Lassana to get the debut victory in quite an upset. [B]Winner:[/B] Lassana Makutsi by pinfall in 8:37 – [B]C+[/B] When he comes to, Silver Shark notices that Hitomi is still on the ramp, and chases him backstage. [b]C[/b] We then see a video which quickly hypes up the next match, also including clips of Dragon’s victory over Dark EAGLE on the last show. [b]C+[/b] [U][B]Match 2:[/B] KOKI Ishibashi vs. Mabuchi Furusawa.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg[/IMG] Both men were very eager heading into this match, as each man wanted to prove himself as better than his opponent due to their extensive history. As soon as the bell rang, they charged at each other, colliding in the middle with a lock up. Both tried to grab control by forcing their opponent down to one knee, but neither was able to do so, as each man put up an amazing amount of resistance. However, Koki got a little frustrated and used his leg to trip up Mabuchi, shoving him to the mat and then driving his elbow right into the sternum of the youngster. Mabuchi slowly got up to his feet, but was soon sent staggering backwards when the veteran Koki clocked him with a rolling wheel kick right to the underside of his jaw. Koki then tripped the bigger man up again and locked him in a variety of leg locks, trying to keep the youngster down on the mat and take away his advantage, but Mabuchi surprised the veteran by going hold for hold with him, resulting in a standoff between the two that resulted in some cheers from the audience. They locked up again with Mabuchi using his power advantage to steal the control away, throwing Koki into the air with a belly to belly suplex. He then went over to the veteran and locked him in a tight armbar, before quickly transitioning into a cross arm breaker when he felt that the veteran was close to escaping. However, despite his attempts to keep Koki down, the veteran was able to eventually fight his way over to the ropes to force the youngster to release him. Mabuchi did so, backing away, but as soon as Koki was up to his feet, the youngster charged in and tried to floor him with a clothesline. The veteran was able to side step it though, and then connected with a leaping kick, knocking the youngster down to one knee. Koki then tried to connect with the Ishibashi Effect, but Mabuchi was little too heavy, allowing the youngster to drop down behind the veteran and then bring him down with a Russian legsweep. Mabuchi stomped away at the arms of the veteran, aiming to weaken him up, but when he went for a grounded hammerlock Koki was able to fight out of it with some stiff elbow shots to the face, and then got up to his feet. They continued to go back and forth until Koki was able to duck a back elbow attempt, kicked the youngster in the back, then nailed the Ishibashi Effect out of nowhere, dumping Mabuchi right on his head. He then hooked the leg and got the victory to gain some slight revenge for the title loss last week. [B]Winners:[/B] KOKI Ishibashi by pinfall in 13:52 - [B]B[/B] Koki began to celebrate, and was soon joined by his fellow Circle of Blood members, Dean Daniels, Dark EAGLE and The Incredible KOYAMA. However, when they saw Mabuchi coming to, they decided to send a message to UK Dragon, as they jumped the youngster and began to beat him up. Koyama was the only one who didn’t do anything, as he looked positively disgusted with what was going on. [b]B-[/b] [U][B]Match 3:[/B] Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs. The Incredible KOYAMA. Non-Title[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BulldozerBrandonSmith.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg[/IMG] Another impressive match from the young gaijin here, as he took it up a level against the rising star KOYAMA. When the bell rang, Brandon tried to take the smaller man off his feet with a back elbow, but just like with The Tic a few days ago, Koyama was able to dodge him using his superior agility to outmanoeuvre the big man. However, Brandon was eventually able to catch Koyama with a stiff elbow smash and then whipped the smaller man across the ring. The gaijin gave chase, aiming to catch Koyama with a powerslam, but Koyama surprised the big man with a springboard leg lariat that knocked him over. Brandon tried to get up to his feet, but Koyama kept him down with a basement dropkick and then a jumping fist drop, connecting with the forehead of the gaijin. Koyama then tried to pull the bigger man up to his feet, but Brandon caught him with a headbutt and a quick series of punches before running to the ropes, knocking Koyama down to the mat. The gaijin then tried to take away the aerial advantage of Koyama with a strong grounded headlock, using his superior bulk to keep the smaller man down, but eventually Koyama was able to spin out of it and then got to the ropes, forcing Brandon to let go. Smith backed away, but when he tried to send Koyama over the top with a clothesline the smaller man was able to meet him mid way with a head scissors that sent the big man tumbling out of the ring to the outside. When Brandon got up, he was met with a cannonball senton from Koyama, who leapt right over the top rope and collided with the gaijin’s chest. This knocked the air right out of Brandon, allowing Koyama to kick him a few times before rolling him back into the ring. This time, Koyama waited for Brandon to get up, but when he tried to go for a quick suplex, the bigger man was able to reverse it into a suplex of his own, delaying the execution for a little bit to show off his strength. Koyama clasped at his back when he hit the mat, and Brandon took this as a signal of his kind, as he began to target that area, stomping away at it and driving his knee in multiple times before locking him in a scissored chickenwing, called the Power Lock, and it seemed like Koyama was ready to give up after a few moments of extreme struggling, as the move was just too painful, but the smaller man held on, and was able to get back up to his feet after he reached the ropes. Brandon tried to take the fight to him again, but Koyama caught him with a reverse roundhouse to the side of the head, stunning him long enough for Koyama to nail a springboard reverse DDT, called the Star Flame, and then hook the leg, getting the hard fought victory. [B]Winner:[/B] Incredible KOYAMA by pinfall in 10:24 – [B]B[/B] KOYAMA then celebrates, but when he see Brandon moving he heads over to the young gaijin and extends hand, helping him up and then shaking his hand, congratulating him on a good match. [b]B[/b] for celebration. [b]B-[/b] for respect. [U][B]Match 4:[/B] Angry Gilmore vs. Dark Angel.[/u] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AngryGilmore.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DarkAngel.jpg[/IMG] Gilmore no longer appeared geared up and ready to compete as he usually is, instead looking fairly melancholy on his way down to the ring. Angel received a decent pop, due to being a regular over in GCG, so people still know who he is. When the bell rang, Angel charged into the middle, trying to lock up with his fellow gaijin, but Gilmore leapfrogged him and then caught him with a back kick right to the gut, before taking him overhead with a double underhook suplex. Angel stayed down for a little bit, clutching his back in pain, but he was soon back up on his feet. Gilmore ran towards him, aiming to take him off his feet with a clothesline, but the wily veteran was able to catch his arm mid-move and pull him down to the mat with an armbar takedown. Angel then cinched the hold in tight, but he was just too close to the ropes, as Gilmore managed to stretch out his arm and grasp the bottom rope to break the hold. Angel did so and backed away, but the second Gilmore was up he connected with a few stiff chops to the chest before whipping him across the ring. He then tried to put Gilmore down with a dropkick, but Gilmore sidestepped him, and when Angel was back up, Angry slapped him in a headlock and then drove him into the mat with a bulldog. Gilmore tried to keep Angel down, but he soon found himself on the wrong end of a few stiff forearms and an elbow to the jaw when he tried to pull Angel up to his feet, and then got floored with a leaping leg lariat from the veteran. Gilmore got up fairly quickly and then tried to take Angel over head with a snap suplex, but Angel pushed him away and then caught him with a running back elbow, then nailed a standing moonsault, impressive for a man of his age, and went for the first fall of the match, but Gilmore kicked out just before two. Angel looked noticeably upset, and pulled Gilmore up to his feet, only to be caught with a leaping knee to the chin and then whipped into the corner. Angel impacted hard on the turnbuckles, and was unable to move out of the way of a clothesline, as Gilmore connected right with the throat of his fellow veteran, and then sent Angel into the middle of the ring with a belly to back suplex. Gilmore kept on the assault, locking in a variety of holds, mainly focusing on the head of the veteran Angel, trying to weaken him up a little bit, but it was all in vain, as Angel struggled and managed to reach the ropes, and used them to pull himself up. Gilmore tried to charge at the veteran, but Angel surprised him with an enziguri out of nowhere, sending Angry tumbling over the top rope to the floor below. Gilmore took a little time to get up to his feet, but when he was, Angel came flying through the ropes with a twisting plancha right to the chest, knocking Gimore flying backwards into the barricade. Angry yelled out in pain, and grabbed his back before slowly getting up to his feet. Angel was the first one up of the two though, and he whipped Gilmore into the ring again, targeting the legs of Gilmore to take away some of his bigger moves. It seemed to be working, as Gilmore put up less and less resistance each time, but when Angel tried to pull Gilmore up to his feet to finish him off with the Descent Into Hell, a lifting turning double underhook facebuster, Gilmore was able to throw Angel over his head with a back body drop, and when his fellow veteran got up to his feet, he nailed him with a Super Kick before planting him face first into the mat with a vicious Anger Management. He then hooked the leg, and got the victory in a fairly hard fought match. [B]Winner:[/B] Angry Gilmore by pinfall in 14:32 – [B]B+[/B] After a quick break, we return backstage to see a tired Angry Gilmore wiping his face with a towel. He then begins to unwind the tape around his wrists before speaking. “Yet again, a man who thinks he is good enough to be on top falls to me. I respect Dark Angel for all he has done in this industry, which is a heck of a lot, but this ring is my yard, not his.” He throws the towel into a nearby basket before pulling the tape off and chucking it in the bin. “And now, I have another chance at the World Title. For years, I have been chasing various titles around the globe with the belief that one day I would take that belt home, and finally make myself a world wide superstar. But in recent years, I have realised that the belief that just sitting around and expecting things to just fall into my lap was not working, and was completely wrong.” He then sits back, breathes out heavily and then leans forward, looking at the floor. “And now the only belief I have is in myself, and that I only am responsible for what happens to me. All those who waited around for stuff will soon find that life passes you by, until you are too old to get what you wanted. You have to work to get what you want, and if that means living a hard life for decades, then so be it. So now, I put out a warning, as I can no longer bear the existence of such worthless human beings, as they are a waste to society, taking up places that could be filled by people willing to work for a living.” He leans back again, placing his hands under the ceiling of his locker. “Finally, let this be a warning to Rhino Umaga as well. I am coming for you, and I am coming for that title. Never before has anybody faced the true wrath of the deep depths of this mind, and that is exactly what you are going to have to deal with in three weeks. Fear the Rage, for it will take your soul.” Gilmore then leans back fully into his locker and lets out an evil laugh as the camera leaves the room. [b]A[/b] [U][B]Match 5:[/B] Koshiro Ino vs. Awesome Thunder.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KoshiroIno.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AwesomeThunder.jpg[/IMG] There was an almost definite advantage for Koshiro Ino present in this match, as not only was he bigger, but he was also younger and a little more agile than the veteran Thunder, facts that made many fans count the veteran out almost right away. When the bell rang, he proved all of them wrong as he took the fight right to the face painted warrior, connecting with several quick forearm smashes to the side of the head before running to the ropes. When he came back, he went for a hurrcanrana, but Ino was able to resist him and seemed to counter it with a powerbomb before flipping the veteran out into a face buster, planting him face first into the canvas. Thunder was dazed for a little while after this, as the move knocked some of the sense out of him, and the big man took advantage of this, pulling the veteran up to his feet, pummelling him with several stiff punches before booting him in the gut and throwing him across the ring with a hip toss. Thunder grabbed his back in pain, but nevertheless got up to his feet, if only to be taken down again with a stiff clothesline from the face painted warrior. Ino seemed to be in total control, but when he got a little too confident and lazily whipped the veteran Thunder into the ropes, he was caught with a handspring back elbow right to the jaw which sent him staggering backwards before Thunder capitalised with a head scissors that sent the big man out of the ring. Ino managed to land on his feet, but he was knocked clean over when Thunder nailed his signature senton bomb style plancha, landing right on top of the big man. Both men were down for a little while, as it knocked the breath out of both of them, but they got up before the referee counted them out. Thunder rolled into the ring to break the count before rolling back out, and tried to whip Ino into the barricade to the right, only to have Ino counter and whip the veteran into the ring post. Thunder’s head bounced off the steel upon impact, and he slumped to the floor, giving Ino some time to recover. Miwa raced over to his client and tried to revive him, only to have Ino come over and push him out the way. Miwa didn’t seem to take kindly to that though, as he produced a bag from his trouser pocket. He pulled out something and called to Ino, who turned around. He then seemed to blow some sort of dust towards the big man, but Ino moved out of the way, with the dust instead getting Thunder right in the eyes, causing him to yell in pain. Ino dragged the veteran into the ring and pulled him up to his feet before whipping across the ring. When he came back, he tried to throw him into the air for a flapjack, but Thunder countered on the way down with a DDT, spiking Ino on the canvas. Both men stayed down for a little while again, with Thunder rolling around on the mat trying to remove the dust from his eyes. It didn’t work though, as Ino was back up before he could fully get rid of it, and the veteran soon found himself on the bad end of the Back Snapper, a high elevation spinebuster, from the face painted warrior upon being whipped to the ropes. Ino then showed the fans something they had rarely before when he locked the veteran in a series of holds, with the main one being a bow and arrow lock, lifting the veteran high into the air and almost bending him in half over his knee. Thunder yelled in pain, and almost tapped out, but his veteran instincts kicked in and he refused to give up, causing Ino to eventually release him and think of what else to do. He waited for the veteran to get up, and tried to floor him with a big boot when he did, but the wily Thunder caught his foot and brought him down to the mat with a dragon screw leg whip. Ino flopped to the mat and clutched his leg in pain, a look of agony on his face, but this left him open to the assault, as Thunder began to kick and stomp away at him before dragging the big man into the middle of the ring. Ino tried to fight him off, but Thunder just stomped away at him until he stopped resisting, and then locked him in the Ace Clutch. He struggled to roll the face painted warrior over initially, but after a few quick punches across the face he was able to lift the big man up and over. Ino yelled out in pain from the move, flailing for the ropes, and came very close to tapping himself when he noticed he was nowhere near the ropes. However, a lightbulb went off in Ino’s face painted brain and he soon rolled back over and powered out of the hold, forcing the veteran Thunder off of him. Thunder tried to resume the attack, but Ino stopped him with a punch to the jaw, then another one, before taking him off his feet with another spinebuster. He seemed ready to for the Kobra’s Bit when he noticed the veteran was getting back up, but Mr. Miwa leapt up onto the apron and distracted the referee. Ino was distracted as well, as he began to move to confront the manager, but Thunder grabbed his tights and hit a low blow, causing the big man’s eyes to go wide and for him to flop to the mat. Thunder hit a quick leg drop before sprinting up to the top rope and connecting with the Thunder Shock. Miwa then jumped off the apron and the referee turned his attention back to the match to see Thunder with his arm draped over the big man, and he counted to three. [B]Winner:[/B] Awesome Thunder by pinfall in 16:42 – [B]A[/B] Thunder left the ring fairly quickly, helped out by Mr. Miwa, but Umaga stayed, and slowly entered the ring. Ino slowly got up to his feet, clearly not fully conscious as he staggered around, and when he turned around Umaga took him off his feet with a Rhino Charge. He stayed on all fours and looked up at the entrance ramp before pointing down at Ino and towards the ramp, where Angry Gilmore was revealed to be standing. [b]B+[/b] [I]Summary: Lassana Makutsi def.

TrekkieMonsta Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 [CENTER] [U]WorldLevelWrestling.jp[/U] [u]News[/u] Tigerkinney has received his signed poster of Angry Gilmore, and judging from the clips on the Wednesday show, he got a little extra at the after party as well. [u]Card[/u] These next two shows seem to be full of matches with rookies or lower card workers having a chance to prove themselves against the bigger guns. On the first card we have KC Glenn making his first on screen debut against Americana in the opening match, while Antonio Maxi Marquez faces off against Eagle Kawasawa. Eagle hasn’t been seen much lately, apparently due to injuries suffered from Rhino Umaga, will he be able to win this match, or will AMM pick up the massive upset? We then have former tag champs Dean Daniels and The Tic taking on the champs Dragon & Furusawa in a non-title affair. Will the former champs get the victory to put themselves back in the race, or will the champs prove why they are the champs? Nathanial Ca$ino is then in action as he faces Greg Gauge, who has rarely been seen since he loss to Marat Khoklov over a month ago. Will he make his comeback here, or will the wounds still be there, allowing Ca$ino to rise up the rankings? In the main event of the show, new Universal champion Rhino Umaga makes his first in ring appearance since winning the belt against The Great Hisato, in a non-title match up. Will Hisato be able to derail the champ almost right away and add himself to the title match at our pay per view in three weeks? Or will Umaga destroy him like everybody else he has faced? On the Saturday card, we have Kimuraman being given a challenge in the form of a Tap Out title shot against new champ Bussho Makiguchi on the second match, while Nariaki Hitomi takes on Americana to kick off the show. Half Machine Half Amazing then take on tag title contenders Circle of Blood, in what is sure to be a fairly entertaining contest. Can HMHA pick themselves up out of their recent losing streak with an upset win against the veteran CoB? We then have Koshiro Ino taking on the youngster White Samurai. Samurai came up short for the Show Stealer title at DtDoS last week, being unable to unseat champion Silver Shark. Will he be able to upset ‘The Face Painted Warrior’ Koshiro Ino, or will he fall victim to the big man’s anger as he tries to avenge his controversial loss to Awesome Thunder a few days ago? In the main event we have Angry Gilmore taking on Haru Kurofuji. Both men won their respective matches last week, and Angry is gearing himself up for his title shot in a few weeks. Will Haru be able to pick up the win and potentially add himself into the race, or will Gilmore easily take care of business on the road to the title?

D-Lyrium Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I'm so glad this diary is here. Mainly because I love WLW, but also because I just spent half an hour looking for Cyber Fighter 3000, and this was the only diary that proved I didn't completely make him up! Luckily I eventually found him. His new hair is badass. Anyway... KC Glenn vs. [B]Americana[/B] - I can't remember who KC Glenn is :( [B]Antonio Maxi Marquez[/B] vs. Eagle Kawasawa - Massive upsets are fun. Eagle Kawasawa is not, Optimus or no Optimus. [B]Dragon & Furusawa[/B] vs. Dean Daniels & The Tic - Dean Daniels seems to be turning into a bit of a Robert Oxford/Billy Gunn type, but I guess he is getting on a bit now :p Nathanial Ca$ino vs. [B]Greg Gauge[/B] - I'm going for Gauge, purely because I can't see Ca$ino getting over in WLW for some reason. Not sure why. [B]Rhino Umaga[/B] vs. The Great Hisato - The Rhino's diet consists mainly of wins and beatings. We don't want him going hungry... WLW Rave Tour Show #12 [B]Americana[/B] vs. Nariaki Hitomi - Just 'cause it's Americana [B]Bussho Makiguchi[/B] vs. Kimuraman - Bussho has cooler hair, and Kimuraman hasn't really done anything ¬_¬ [B]Half Machine Half Amazing[/B] vs. Circle of Blood (EAGLE & KOKI) - Eguichi's gimmicks is... well, amazing. I can't possibly back him to lose while he has it. [B]Koshiro Ino[/B] vs. White Samurai Haru Kurofuji vs. [B]Angry Gilmore[/B] - Gilmore losing now would be bad. After the tournament shenanigans, he needs to beat Haru here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrdcoresidebrns Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 [I]I've missed so much! Apparently this diary doesn't like to show up on my startup page, despite the fact that I've subscribed to it. Oh well, on with my picks...[/I] Singles KC Glenn vs. [B]Americana[/B] [I]Americana is a great talent, and has the potential to be huge in WLW. He gets the win here.[/I] Singles Antonio Maxi Marquez vs. [B]Eagle Kawasawa[/B] [I]Despite how amazing he is, I don't think that AMM is quite established enough in Japan to get the win here.

TrekkieMonsta Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 [CENTER][I]Always happy to help D-Lyrium :p, and good to have you on board.[/I] [U][B]Tour Show #11.[/B][/U] Held at the Kanagawa Sports Field Wednesday, Week 2, February 2011 Attendance = 2,000 (Sell-out!) Announcers = Isei Deushi & Koyo Raikatuji [u][i]Pre-Show[/i][/u] [i]Silver Shark def. Hidekazu – B- Takeshi Umehara def. Panda Mask II – C-[/i] To start the show tonight we have a quick video hyping up the main event, in particular the recent destruction Umaga has wreaked on this company. [b]B+[/b] [U][B]Match 1:[/B] KC Glenn vs. Americana[/U]. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KCGlenn.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AmericanElemental.jpg[/IMG] This was a very fast paced opener that featured some of the best young talents on the market today. When the match started, Glenn tried to catch his more experienced opponent off guard with a cartwheel elbow, but Americana ducked under it and then swept his legs out from underneath him before connecting with a standing moonsault, getting a two count. Americana sprang up to his feet, as did Glenn, but when the veteran Americana ran towards the young KC to try and connect with a clothesline, Glenn sidestepped it and then put Americana in a victory roll armbar, causing the veteran to yell out in pain and try to reach the ropes. Glenn really cinched it in, applying more pressure as often as possible, but it wasn’t enough to put the Elemental influenced man away, as Americana rolled out of it and then kipped up to his feet before throwing Glenn across the ring with a head scissors. Glenn got up to his feet fairly quickly, only to be caught with a rolling wheel kick right to the jaw, sending him back down. Americana promptly then ran to the ropes before coming back off with a springboard moonsault, only to come down across the raised knees of Glenn. Americana grabbed his gut as he fell to the mat in pain, allowing Glenn to pull him back up to his feet and then send him overhead with a suplex. The young Southerner then ran to the ropes and came back with a flip senton to the gut of Americana, causing him even more pain, but when Glenn tried to pull the veteran up to his feet, he got a kick to the gut, followed by an enziguri. Glenn staggered forward from the impact, and was sent back down to the mat with a roundhouse kick right to the side of the head. Glenn’s eyes seemed to glaze over as he rolled onto his back, and Americana seemed to fill with more energy as he went up to the top rope. He signalled to the crowd, drawing some cheers, before coming flying off with the Inferno Splash Mk. III, the ever impressive imploding 450 splash. He hooked the leg and got the victory in a fairly easy, but back and forth, match up. [B]Winner:[/B] Americana by pinfall in 7:34 – [B]C+[/B] We then quickly go backstage, where we see Nariaki Hitomi strutting along with a massive smirk on his face. He notices a girl leaning against the wall, and goes up to her, leaning with his hand next to her head. “Hey baby, how would you like to come and hang with the epitome of coolness, and the sexiest man alive, me?” The girl doesn’t even answer, she just stands up, slaps Hitomi and then walks off down the corridor. Hitomi laughs while he strokes his cheek. “Yow….sexy.” He then races off screen in the direction of the woman, and a few moments later we hear another slap before going back to the ring. [b]C[/b] [U][B]Match 2:[/B] Antonio Maxi Marquez vs. Eagle Kawasawa.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/ChampagneLover.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EagleKawasawa.jpg[/IMG] This was set to be quite an entertaining match, and it seemed to benefit having a warm crowd due to the opening match. When the bell rang, the gaijin tried to catch Eagle with a jumping back kick, but the native Eagle ducked it and then fired back with a kick of his own right to the chest of the Mexican, and then connect with a few more, eventually forcing Marquez into the ropes before whipping him across the ring. Maxi tried to surprise the veteran Eagle with a leg lariat when he returned, but Eagle ducked it and then rolled backwards into a hurracanrana that sent the Mexican phenom rolling across the ring and then out of it, hitting the floor quite hard. Marquez struggled up to his feet fairly quickly though, albeit slightly dazed from hitting the floor, leaving him open to the aerial assault of Eagle, who ran through the ropes and connected with a suicida, sending Marquez flying backwards into the barricade, causing him to yell out in pain and then flop to the floor. Eagle pulled the phenom back up to his feet before trying to whip him into the ring, only to have himself thrown into the apron back first, causing him to grab his back before being rolled into the ring by Marquez. Marquez started to work over the arms of Eagle, setting him up for the Champagne Breakfast, but the young gaijin began to get a little too c0cky, allowing Eagle to easily escape from an armbar and then get up to his feet. It was downhill from there for Marquez, because when he tried to get back on track with a back elbow smash, Eagle ducked and then caught him with a dropkick, and then a basement dropkick when he sat back up. Marquez struggled to get back up to his feet, and the second he got up to one knee Eagle ran to the ropes, and when he rebounded he caught the young gaijin with the Vision Quest, knocking him to the mat and stunning for long enough to get the cover. [B]Winners:[/B] Eagle Kawasawa by pinfall in 9:45 - [B]B[/B] After a break, we return to see Haru Kurofuji backstage with a microphone: “This is really starting to annoy me, even though I won my match against ‘the Great Hisato’, I still don’t get any recognition. Hell, even ridiculous talentless hacks like the Tic are getting more attention than I am. So I’m going to make a challenge, a challenge to Rhino Umaga for his World Level Universal title. I know Gilmore is already the contender and everything, but I am the most talented star in this company, and deserve to be in that match, no matter what it requires.” Haru get’s ready to leave, but when he turns he walks right into the chest of Koshiro Ino, who has a grin on his face. “Are you serious? A man like you worthy of challenging for the world title of the greatest company around today? That’s even crazier than rabbit wearing a tutu and doing a little breakdancing, and that is very crazy. Let me set you straight old timer, you don’t even deserve to be in the top level of this company any more, and I’m going to prove it to you. How about, instead of you getting in waaaay above your head, you face me in that ring at Pork: It’s What’s For Dinner?” Haru seems to have taken offence to the ‘old timer’ comment and takes a swing at Ino, connecting right with the jaw of the big man. Ino staggers back a little bit, before raising his hand and wagging his finger at the veteran. Haru looks confused before Ino pounces on him, taking him to the floor and pummelling away at his head. Officials hear the commotion and race in, breaking the two apart, but just like last week, they never break eye contact, staring each other down. [b]B[/b] for both. [U][B]Match 3:[/B] Dragon & Furusawa vs. Daniels & The Tic Non-Title[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DeanDaniels.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheTic.jpg[/IMG] This was a good match for these two teams, with the tag champs tagging in and out and using fluid double teams, really showing how much they gel as a team. When the bell rang, it was Dragon against Daniels, and the two engaged in a nice technical showdown, taking the match to the mat and going hold for hold with each other. Daniels tried to go for a grounded headlock and keep the gaijin down, but the champ was able to roll out of it and then kneed Dean in the head before getting up to his feet. Dean slowly staggered to his feet, clutching his head, only to have Dragon kick him in the gut and then send him overhead with a suplex. After the impact the champ went right back to working on Dean, mainly focusing on his legs and lower back, locking him in a tight knee lock, but it wasn’t enough to put Dean away, as after a brief struggle he kicked Dragon away before getting up to his feet and tagging in the Tic. Tic leapt onto the top rope and flew into the ring with a spinning heel kick right to the jaw, sending the champion Dragon down, but when he tried to take the much bigger Furusawa down with a dropkick, the champ just absorbed the shot and then floored the Tic with a clothesline. Dragon came to fairly quickly, and took the fight right to the Tic, connecting with a series of stiff forearm and elbows shots, but when he tried to run to the ropes, the Tic just sprung off his feet and nailed a poison rana out of nowhere, spiking the gaijin champion right on the top of his head. The Tic went for the cover, but Mabuchi stormed into the ring and broke it up before the two count. The smaller man then ran to the corner, and climbed up top, but his leg slipped when he was getting ready, allowing Dragon to recover and then race up to meet him. The Tic tried to push him off, but the champ used his superior strength and size to overpower the smaller man and then threw him across the ring with a superplex, with the Tic bouncing off the mat so much he flipped onto his front upon impact. When he recovered, Dragon went over to the corner and tagged Mabuchi in, who immediately went to work on the arms of the small Tic, locking him in a variety of armbars, trying to weaken him up for the Furusawa Armbar. The Tic held on though, refusing to tap out, even when Mabuchi yanked his arm back at almost a ninety degree angle, and eventually managed to flip out of it and connect with a leg drop to the back of Mabuchi’s head. Furusawa slowly got up to his feet, slightly dazed, but when the Tic try to bring him down with a head scissors Mabuchi threw him off and then stomped away wildly at him, before dropping his elbow into the back of the head of the smaller man. Mabuchi then called in his partner and they both whipped the Tic across the ring and when he came back Mabuchi threw him into the air and Dragon caught him with a dropkick, a double team move dubbed The Ferocity Express, flipping the Tic right over when the dropkick connected. Dragon then took care of Daniels on the apron, kicking him off and then going outside to keep him away from the ring, while Mabuchi slapped the Tic in the Furusawa Armbar, making the smaller man tap almost immediately. [B]Winner:[/B] Dragon & Furusawa by submission in 13:50 – [B]B[/B] The Circle of Blood then run to the ring and lay out the tag champions once again. [b]C+[/b] After a quick break we return to see Silver Shark backstage. “Last week, a much deluded man by the name of Nariaki Hitomi challenged me for my title, saying he was the true show stealer of this company. It was something like that, to be perfectly honest I fell asleep the second he started speaking, he was just so boring. I apologise on his behalf to the audience in attendance that night, we are supposed to make you happy, not sleepy. However, I feel like a little challenge, so consider it accepted Nariaki, let’s just hope you ego doesn’t get stuck in the door when I kick you out after I beat you.” [b]C-[/b] [U][B]Match 4:[/B] Nathanial Ca$ino vs. Greg Gauge.[/u] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NathanielCaino.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/GregGauge.jpg[/IMG] Nate looked considerably confident heading into this match, as this was a big opportunity for the young man, going up against one of the main players in the company in the form of Greg Gauge. When the bell rang, they two gaijins locked up in the middle of the ring, with Nate getting the surprising first piece of control with a wrist wrench, really pulling the arm back. Gauge was able to find a way out and then pulled the younger man into a short arm clothesline, sending him to the mat. Gauge then pulled Nate up to his feet, booted him in the gut and then sent him back to the mat with a scoop slam. He then began to work over the younger man’s legs, stomping away at the knees and then locking him in a single leg boston crab, pulling the leg back as far as he possibly could, but he had locked it in too close to the ropes, allowing Nate to fight his way over and drape his arm over the bottom rope. Gauge released the hold, but dragged the youngster back into the middle of the ring and nailed a leg drop right to the throat, making sure he was still in control. When Gauge pulled him back up to his feet, Nate tried to fight back with a series of punches and elbows, but Gauge simply took the punishment and then fired back with his own series, including a roaring elbow that sent Nate tumbling backwards into the ropes. Gauge followed him and whipped him across the ring, sending Nate flying overhead with a back body drop when he returned and then went back to focusing on the legs. He came close to locking in the Proton Lock, but Nate was able to resist being turned over and then pulled one of his legs free before kicking the young ace in the back several times to force him off. Nate got back up to his feet and ran to the ropes, connecting with a flying forearm to the jaw that sent Gauge to the mat, but when he pulled Gauge up, he did it a bit too slowly, taking his time to show off to the audience, allowing Gauge to recover and then elbow him sharply in the gut and then hit a double axe handle before throwing the youngster high into the air with a release gutwrench suplex. Nate bounced off of the mat and tried to scramble to the outside, but Gauge grabbed his legs and pulled him back into the middle of the ring before swiftly locking in the Proton Lock, with Nate lasting barely three seconds before he tapped out. [B]Winner:[/B] Greg Gauge by submission in 11:48 – [B]B[/B] After the fans have stopped applauding him, Gauge grabs a microphone from ringside before rolling back into the ring. “I hear that there is somebody in the back who thinks that he is the sole reason why we are here today. For the past few weeks, Mr Miwa has been ranting on and on and on about the accomplishments of his friend Awesome Thunder. While I do respect what Thunder has done for this industry and this company as well, I firmly believe that it is time for the current generation to step aside for the new, to allow them to take the flame from today’s aging stars. And that is why I am challenging Awesome Thunder to a match at the event later this month. If I win I will have done my family proud, finally done them proud, by taking my place at the top of one of the greatest companies this world has to offer, and as the top of the next generation. If I lose, it doesn’t matter, I will have learnt something from one of the best stars this industry has seen, and I’ll just keep trying until I am truly ready to take that place.” He takes a moment to soak in some cheers from the crowd before lifting the microphone again. “So, Awesome Thunder, I expect an answer soon, because I am sure these fans would love to see us fight it out in the middle of this ring, putting on a match for them to remember.” He raises his arms after dropping the microphone, drawing in some more cheers, before heading to the back. [b]B[/b] [U][B]Match 5:[/B] Rhino Umaga vs. Awesome Thunder.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/RhinoUmaga.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheGreatHisato.jpg[/IMG] Rhino had both the power and size advantage heading into this one, but as has usually been proved in recent times, that does not automatically mean you will win, as Hisato is one of the most agile men this industry has seen. When the bell rang, Umaga charged towards the smaller man, and they locked up. The big Samoan began to force Hisato down to the mat, but the smaller man countered by somersaulting onto Rhino’s shoulders and then sent the big man down to the mat with a hurracanrana. The champ was up almost right away, though slightly dazed, and left open to a dropkick from Hisato that caught him right in the chest. The big man staggered backwards, but when it seemed like he would be knocked off his feet with a leg lariat from Hisato, Umaga caught the smaller man and then brought him down viciously across his knee with a backbreaker. Hisato yelled out in pain and rolled around while clutching his back, but this left him open to a leaping knee drop to the back from the champ who then locked him in the Samoan Crab. Hisato struggled to get out of the hold, as Umaga really cinched it in tight, occasionally sitting down on the lower back of Hisato to add to the pain, but yet again his legendary resilience showed through when he refused to give up and used up all of his energy to claw his way over to the ropes, forcing the champ to release him. Umaga didn’t give him any time to recover though, as he dragged him back into the ring and pummelled away at his defenceless opponent. Umaga then slowly brought Hisato up to his feet, but was caught in the jaw with an uppercut, dazing him enough for Hisato to connect with a dropsault and then springboard off the ropes with a head scissors that sent Rhino rolling out of the ring. Umaga landed on his feet but staggered backwards into the barricade, and when he started to move towards the ring Hisato came flying over the top with a beautiful diving cross body block. Umaga managed to catch him though, using his superior power to then lifted Hisato up into the air and brought him down across his knee with another backbreaker. Hisato flopped lifelessly to the floor, and barely moved, crawling across the floor, due to the pain. Rhino promptly pulled him back up to his feet and rolled him back into the ring, and easily pulled him back up to his feet with ease before whipping him across the ring into the corner. The champ tried to follow up with an avalanche, but Hisato rolled out of the way, causing Rhino to come crashing down on the top turnbuckle and stagger backwards. Hisato tried to capitalize with a German Suplex, but the big man was just too heavy for him, as Rhino was able to resist him and then nail several stiff elbow shots right to the side of Hisato’s head before bringing the smaller man over his shoulder with a snapmare. Rhino connected with another leaping knee drop and then locked him in a chinlock, shoving his knee right into the back of smaller man’s neck. Hisato seemed to fade away fairly rapidly while in the hold due to the amount of pressure being applied, but he was able to summon the energy to fight his way back up to his feet, drawing it from the cheering crowd, but when he tried to escape from Umaga with a few elbows to the gut and then run to the ropes, Umaga just absorbed the blows and then brought the smaller man down to the mat strongly with a sleeper slam. Rhino then went back to working on the head and neck of Hisato, even locking him in a camel clutch style hold. Hisato still refused to give up though, fighting his way back to the ropes, but Rhino pulled him back towards the middle of the ring, pulled him up and then threw him overhead with a release German Suplex, dumping Hisato right on the top of his head. This dazed the already near unconscious Hisato even more, allowing Rhino to pull him up to his feet and then whip him across the ring. Rhino tried to follow up with a clothesline, but the smaller Hisato countered with a springboard missile dropkick, connecting squarely with the chest of the big man. It didn’t take him off his feet however, instead making him stagger backwards a little bit. Hisato stayed on the mat for a while, trying to gain a bit of breath, but when he noticed Rhino heading towards him again he nailed a kip up hurracanrana that sent him across the ring. Hisato then slowly made his way over to the corner, climbed onto the top rope, and waited for the champ to get up. When he did, Hisato nailed the Jade Warrior Plunge, and knocked Rhino to the mat, but he only got a one count before Rhino threw Hisato off of him. Hisato tried to go back on the offensive, but Rhino stopped him in his tracks a clothesline, then drove his elbow right into the sternum of the smaller man. Hisato gasped for air as he was pulled up to his feet, only to be kicked in the gut and then planted into the mat with a spinebuster, with his head bouncing off the mat upon impact. Rhino backed off for a little while, setting up for the Rhino Charge, but when Hisato eventually got up to his feet, he was able to leapfrog Umaga and then ran to the opposite ropes. He tried to rebound with a springboard cross body, but Rhino caught him on his shoulders then drove him into the mat with a sidewalk slam. Hisato slowly got up to his feet, using the ropes to help him up, but the second he walked towards the middle of the ring, Rhino flipped him over with a Rhino Charge right to the gut. Hisato was out cold, and Rhino just placed his foot on the fallen body of his opponent for the cover. [B]Winner:[/B] Rhino Umaga by pinfall in 21:49 – [B]A[/B] [I]Summary: Americana def.

TrekkieMonsta Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 [CENTER][U][B]Tour Show #12.[/B] [/U] Held at the Nagasaki Sports Park Saturday, Week 2, February 2011 Attendance = 2,000 (Sell-out!) Announcers = Isei Deushi & Koyo Raikatuji [u][i]Pre-Show[/i][/u] [i]Cyber Fighter 3000 def. Kenshin Ienari – C+ Tasuku & Jungle Jack def. Samoan Wildboyz – C+[/i] We then see a video of Nariaki Hitomi backstage, still chasing after the woman we saw several days ago. “Please, just go out with me for one night!” Hitomi seems to be pleading now, and his face is practically red with slap marks. The woman is still unphased and faces the other way. “Okay, fine…how about for just one hour?” The woman just sighs, places her head in her hands and walks off. Hitomi scurries after her, but then he notices another woman and heads over to her. “Hey baby, how’s about you and me hang out later? Because you are way too pretty to not want to hang out with a gorgeous specimen like myself.” The second lady laughs. “You’re right, too pretty to even be considered in your league. Get lost loser.” She then slaps him with such force that he staggers backwards holding his cheek. Hitomi seems to throw a little temper tantrum, stomping his feet on the floor and swinging his arms, before heading down to the ring. [b]C-[/b] [U][B]Match 1:[/B] Americana vs. Nariaki Hitomi[/U]. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AmericanElemental.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NariakiHitomi_alt.jpg[/IMG] The advantage in this match clearly went in the direction of Hitomi, due to being much bigger and stronger than Americana, but when he tried to do his usual dominating power moves the smaller man scooted around him, eventually taking him down with a head scissors. Hitomi got up to his feet quite quickly, and tried to just absorb a dropkick, but the force behind it sent him into the ropes. Americana tried to nail the big man with an enziguri on his return, but this actually worked to help Hitomi as the big man floored the gaijin with a leaping shoulder block in the middle of the ring. Hitomi dragged Americana up to his feet and booted him in the gut before sending him overhead with a suplex, delaying it slightly in the middle to add more impact. The gaijin clutched his back in pain before slowly getting up to his victory, but he didn’t get any time to breath before he was sent into the corner. Hitomi followed after him, but Americana surprised the big man by backflipping over him and then dropkicking him into the turnbuckles. Hitomi staggered out backwards, and Americana tried to go for a Russian Legsweep, but the big man resisted and then connected with several stiff elbows to the face of the gaijin before throwing him away with a hip toss. Americana stayed down for a while, stunned from the elbow shots, allowing Hitomi time to recover before the big man went over to the smaller man and connected with an elbow drop. Hitomi then locked Americana in a side sleeper, trying to choke the smaller man out, but the gaijin showed amazing resilience by holding out, refusing to tap at all, and then fought his way to the ropes, causing Hitomi to release him. Nariaki backed off a little to allow Americana to get up to his feet, but this was a mistake because the second he tried to floor the smaller man with a clothesline, Americana responded with a springboard moonsault press that sent the big man down. Americana then ran to the corner, trying to finish things with the Inferno Splash Mk. III, but before he could fully gain his balance, Hitomi ran up behind him and clubbed him in the back several times. Hitomi then grabbed Americana and shoved him to the mat with a single arm powerbomb, causing the smaller man to flip over upon impact. Hitomi smiled as he pulled the limp body of his opponent up to his feet before planting him with the Hitomi Crush-Plex, getting the victory in a fairly fast paced opener. [B]Winner:[/B] Nariaki Hitomi by pinfall in 8:39 – [B]C+[/B] After a quick merchandise ad we go backstage to see The Tic out on the floor with officials checking on him. Once the camera gets closer we see Dean Daniels being restrained by security and other staff members while shouting at his fallen partner. “It’s all your fault! And now it’s time for you to get your damn punishment. You will never be safe, because the Circle is on the hunt, and it never stops until it gets blood, and it’s your blood we want. You hear me?! Yours!” Dean is finally taken away by security, and when we refocus on the downed Tic, more officials have appeared to help him up. [b]C+[/b] [U][B]Match 2:[/B] Bussho Makiguchi© vs. Kimuraman. For the World Level Tap Out title.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BeetleKimura.jpg[/IMG] Bussho laughed as he came down to the ring, seemingly very confident about this match, but the second he climbed into the ring Kimuraman caught him with an enziguri right to the head, stunning him, and then sent him across the ring with a running tilt-a-whirl Headscissors. The small man tried to follow up with another when Bussho got up to his feet, but the champ stopped him mid-run with a back elbow right to the top of the head, stunning him, and then threw him up and over with a belly to belly suplex. Kimura hit the mat hard, but before he could have any time to recover, Bussho stomped away at his body and locked him in a tight armbar, occasionally applying a wrist clutch of sorts as well in order to do as much damage as possible, but Kimura was a bit too close to the ropes, as after a little bit of struggling he was able to wrap his arms around the bottom rope and force Bussho off of him. The champ backed away slightly, but just when Kimura was getting up to his feet, Bussho ran in and clotheslined him to the floor again before dragging him to the middle of the ring and locking him in a surfboard. Kimura really struggled to not give up, as the hold was doing massive amounts of damage, but just when it seemed like he was going to have to tap to prevent permanent damage, Bussho loosened it out of c0ckiness. Kimura quickly wrenched his arms free and fell forward onto the mat. He tried to then scramble over to the ropes to escape Bussho, but the champ was already up on his feet and then drove his elbow into the back of the small man’s head. Bussho then dragged Kimura back up to his feet and whipped him across the ring, catching him with a powerslam in the middle of the ring, but he rotated a little less than usual, dropping Kimura on his head. This knocked what little fight was still in the youngster right out, allowing Bussho to easily pull him up to his knees. He then laid into the smaller man with the Elite Elbows, his trademark quick fire elbows to the temple, before running to the ropes and connecting with the Blazing Elbow. Kimura was out cold from the impact, and the second Bussho locked him in the Pride Stretch the referee called for the bell, as Kimura was not fighting it at all. [B]Winners:[/B] Bussho Makiguchi by submission in 10:32. Bussho makes defence number 1 of his Tap Out title. - [B]B[/B] Once we return from a break we see Circle of Blood conversing backstage, and they seem to be commending Daniels on his attack earlier. Eagle was the first person to talk, and his voice is quite raspy and sinister. “This is just the first step, soon everybody will be under our control, and the master will finally be pleased.” Daniels and Koki nod in agreement before Eagle talks again. “And tonight, we take another step towards the creation of his army. The unsuspecting victims are a couple of mere children in his eyes, and they will soon become just another pair of minions. Koki, you will do the majority of the work tonight, as I will be conversing with him throughout. Make sure you do a good job, because nobody who incurs his wrath through failure ever returns, stuck for eternity in the Portal of Souls.” Koki nods his head with a smile on his face, while Dean just looks up with a look of fright in his eyes. Eagle notices and turns to face the gaijin. “No need to worry my son, for he is pleased that you disposed of that waste of a former partner. He knows you are loyal to his cause, and you shall be richly rewarded upon your arrival.” Dean looks down with a look of confusion on his face this time. “Your arrival will not be for a while, do not worry. Until our task is done, we will remain in this land, and it will take a long time to finish this task.” Eagle and Koki then bow their heads before heading to the ring. Dean seems to be having second thoughts about what he did earlier in the night though, as he sits down on a bench and places his head in his hands. [b]C+[/b] for both. [U][B]Match 3:[/B] Half Machine Half Amazing vs. Circle of Blood[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/YukiHorigoshi.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EguchiTheAmazing.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DarkEagle.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg[/IMG] This was quite a poor affair given who was involved, but they still put on a decent contest. When the bell rang, it was Eguichi in with Koki, and the two men engaged in a quick technical exchange, going hold for hold for a little while before Koki was able to keep Eguichi down with a grounded hammerlock and proceeded to lay into the arm with several knees. The veteran then pulled the Mime up to his feet and tried to whip him across the ring but Eguichi cartwheeled to stop the momentum and then caught Koki with a dropkick to the chest, sending him to the mat. Koki got right back up though, but seemed to stagger about a bit, allowing Eguichi to whip him off the ropes across the ring. But when the youngster tried to take Koki down with a clothesline the veteran ducked underneath the arm and then came back with a leaping forearm right to the skull, flooring the youngster. Koki then took control of the match with a few quick holds before locking Eguichi in a single leg Boston Crab that had him screaming in pain. The mime tried desperately to reach the ropes, but the veteran prevented him from moving at all. Just when it seemed like Eguichi was going to tap out Yuki ran in and floored the veteran with a spinning back elbow. Eguichi used this time to recover, and as soon as he got up to his feet he began to create his invisible wall. He formed it around Koki, and when the veteran got up, he found he couldn’t move much at all, with this box trapping him in the middle of the ring. He began to batter at the walls to try and escape, before finding something. It seemed to be a hole, and he leaned down to look out of it, only to get poked in the eye by Eguichi, who fell over in hysterics. Koki grabbed his eye in pain, but then a look of anger crossed his face as he burst through the wall and stared down at Eguichi. The veteran stomped away wildly at the youngster before tagging in to Eagle. The veteran Eagle remained in control for the rest of the match, despite several tags between HMHA, and he was able to put the match away when Yuki got a little too overconfident. He tried to go for the Yuki Rush Lariat on both Koki and Eagle, but he soon found himself on the wrong end of the Blood Ritual, a double foot stomp to the face from Eagle while Koki held him up in a torture rack. Yuki flopped to the mat lifelessly as Eagle hooked the leg, getting the victory for his team. [B]Winner:[/B] Circle of Blood by pinfall in 11:46 – [B]C[/B] After a quick break we return to see Koshiro Ino backstage, leaning forward while sitting on a bench. Seiho Kuroda approaches him for an interview, but Ino just stands up and pushes him into the wall before snatching the microphone away. “Let me just get one thing straight. Haru Kurofuji, I know you might be wise and all due to your ever increasing age, but you just went and made the biggest mistake of your life a few days ago. I almost lost complete control, and believe me, you don’t want to be in my way when I lose it. So in two weeks you better be damn ready for our match, or else you may find yourself on the wrong end of the most evil parts of my soul.” He tosses the microphone back at Seiho, who was just getting back up to his feet, and it hit him right in the head, sending him back to the floor. [b]B+[/b] [U][B]Match 4:[/B] Koshiro Ino vs. White Samurai.[/u] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KoshiroIno.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg[/IMG] From the second this match started, the advantage was Ino’s, as he seemed a lot more animalistic than usual, brutally battering away at Samurai constantly, with the smaller man being unable to block most of his attacks. However, when Ino tried to go for the Kobra Bite a little too early, Samurai was able to leap into the air and connect with a hurracanrana on the big man. Ino took a little time to get up to his feet, but as soon as he was up on one knee Samurai charged in and nailed a basement dropkick right to the side of the head, sending the face painted warrior back to the mat. Samurai then tried to keep the big man down with a grounded headlock, but despite putting all of his weight and strength behind it, Ino was able to power out of it after some initial struggling and get to the ropes. Samurai tried to drag Ino back into the middle of the ring, but the face painted warrior kept a tight grip on the ropes, and when the youngster tried to pull the big man back up to his feet, Ino connected with a brutal uppercut right to the jaw that sent the smaller man right to the mat. Ino dropped the elbow to the sternum of Samurai, knocking the air out of him, before pulling him back up to his feet and lifting him high above his head. He tried to go for a military press slam to the outside, but Samurai fought out of it and then clubbed away at the back of the big man, sending him staggering forward. Ino then tried to swing backwards with a punch, but Samurai ducked the shot and then kicked the big man’s knees several times, forcing him down to his knees. Samurai then ran to the ropes and connected with a running knee right to the back of the head that sent Ino straight to the mat. The smaller man tried to keep control of the match with a little mat wrestling, but the power of Ino became obvious when he effortlessly fought out of the holds that he was put in and then got up to his feet after reaching the ropes. Samurai ran towards him and tried to take him over the top rope with a leaping leg lariat, but Ino caught him mid move and then planted him into the mat with a powerslam, stunning the smaller man. He went for the cover, but he was too close to the ropes, as Samurai was able to get his foot on the lower rope, breaking up the pinfall. Ino then took control of the mat himself, locking the smaller man in a knee lock, constantly getting up to drive his own knee into the joint. Samurai desperately tried to get to the ropes, but Ino kept dragging him back into the middle and then connecting with the knee drive again. Eventually Ino got tired of Samurai squirming and hoisted him into the air before dropping him down again, causing the youngster to land on the weakened knee. Ino then took some time to get his breath back, leaning in the corner, but when he tried to floor the young Samurai when he was getting up, Samurai surprised the big man with a dropsault and then a dropkick to the right knee, causing Ino to stagger slightly, but he stayed upright. Samurai then tried again, connecting with the same knee, but it still didn’t send Ino down. The youngster quickly leapt onto the top rope and then came flying off with a missile dropkick, and this time the big man did go down. Samurai then connected with a standing corkscrew senton, and tried to go for the cover but Ino threw him off almost right away. The youngster noticed that Ino began to get up, and ran to the ropes, but when he came back the face painted warrior shot up to his feet and then planted the smaller man with the Back Snapper. Samurai’s head bounced off of the canvas from the impact, and when he did eventually stagger to his feet, he was turned inside out with the Kobra Bite, giving Ino the victory. [B]Winner:[/B] Koshiro Ino by pinfall in 14:59 – [B]B+[/B] When Ino begins to celebrate, Haru Kurofuji storms down to the ring and surprise the big man from behind, clubbing him over the head with some brass knuckles. Ino falls to the mat, stunned, leaving him defenceless against the following assault from Haru, who relentlessly begins to pummel away at Ino with the brass knuckles, leaving him a bloody mess in the ring. [b]B[/b] We are then transported to another backstage area, where Angry Gilmore is throwing a few punches at an invisible target. He then stops, lets out a sigh and places his hand on the wall before speaking. “Tonight, I face a veteran of the game, a man who has practically been there done that in this company, and will be looked on as a man who helped make this company what it is today.” His slight grin turns to a look of complete disgust. “However, what he does sometimes during his match is completely unforgivable. This is a man who will always cheat when it is possible, who will always look to strain the rules to their very limit, a man who has absolutely no respect for anybody else but him. He is another one of those men who believes that life will just hand you things, and as I told you before, I hate those types.” He shakes his head before placing his head in his hands and sitting down. “Tonight Haru is going to be taught a lesson, a lesson of respect. A man of his experience should know by now, that if you don’t have respect then you only have enemies, and will live a life of hell. Right now, Haru has no friends, and it is my mission to make him see sense, and purge him of all the bad within his soul.” He leans back into his locker just like last week. “He will learn to fear the rage, for it will take his soul!” He lets out the same laughter as well, but a bit more energetically this time. [b]B+[/b] [U][B]Match 5:[/B] Haru Kurofuji vs. Angry Gilmore.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HaruKurofuji.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AngryGilmore.jpg[/IMG] Gilmore was very focused heading into this match, while Haru seemed quite confident, most likely still smug from his attack on Ino earlier on in the show. However, when he turned to the crowd to soak in the boos, Gilmore clubbed him from behind with a double axe handle and then softened him up with a series of open handed slaps to the chest, with the fourth one resounding throughout the arena. The veteran Haru clasped his pecs in pain, as they had begun to turn red, and rolled around on the mat for a few moments before slowly getting back up to his feet. Gilmore tried to continue the assault with a few more chops, but Haru was able to block one shot and then wrenched the gajin’s arm behind him in a wrist lock, really stretching the limb as far as he possibly could. Gilmore tried to turn it around several times, but Haru kept applying more pressure each time until eventually Gilmore began to fall to his knees. Haru then tried to nail a leg drop across the limb, but Gilmore kicked him in the back of the legs and then used this distraction to wrench his arm free before nailing him with a quick enziguri out of nowhere, leaving both men down on the mat. The first one to move was Gilmore, but he took what time he had to recover his wrist, but this left him open to a basement dropkick from Haru who then followed up with a knee lock, intent on weakening up the legs for the Kurofuji Crab as well as taking away the gaijin’s aerial advantages. After a bit of struggling, Gilmore began to edge his way to the ropes, extending his arm out fully to try and get to them, but Haru noticed just in time and kicked the gaijin in the face, stunning him, and then dragged him back into the middle of the ring before locking him in a single leg boston crab, occasionally leaning back to add to the pressure. Gilmore began to summon his strength again, beginning to power out of the move with a push up, but Haru sat down on him, forcing him back to the mat. When he tried the second time however, Haru was getting a little frustrated and released the gaijin for a second, which is just what Gilmore was waiting for, as he sprung into the air with a dropkick right to the jaw of the veteran, sending him to the mat. Gilmore took a little time to heal his leg, but got up first and then pulled the veteran up to his feet before sending him high overhead with a delayed suplex. Haru grabbed his back in pain upon impact, but stayed on the ground, prompting Gilmore to come over to him. Haru replied with a kip up hurracanrana that sent the gaijin rolling out of the ring. Gilmore got up to his feet fairly quickly, but staggered a little bit due to his leg hurting, and almost fell prey to a handspring moonsault plancha from Haru, only just managing to dive out of the way. Haru connected badly with the floor, just missing smashing his face, and was down for a little while. Gilmore hobbled over to him and pulled him up to his feet before booting him in the gut. He tried to plant Haru with a piledriver, but the veteran fought back and pushed Gilmore away. However, when Haru tried to charge in and take Gilmore down, he was met with a back fist and then a roundhouse kick that sent him down to one knee. Gilmore then climbed onto the apron and waited for Haru to stagger forwards, and when he did, he busted out his signature Picture Perfect Moonsault, coming down right on top of the veteran. Both men were down for a while, but managed to make it back into the ring before the referee counted them out. Angry was the first person to his feet, and he pulled Haru up with him, but the veteran began to throw a couple of punches and elbows, connecting with the face of Gilmore, prompting an exchange of blows. Haru got the initial advantage, and began to force the gaijin into the ropes, but Gilmore quickly turned it around with a few stiff elbows that he soon followed by whipping the veteran across the ring. When he came back, Gilmore tried to plant floor him with a sleeper slam, but Haru ducked under his arm and then caught the gaijin with a leaping kick, catching Gilmore full in the face and knocking him to the floor. Haru then followed up with a beautiful springboard corkscrew senton, connecting right with the gut of the gaijin, and then hit a standing moonsault before going for the cover, only to have Gilmore kick out just after the two count. Haru was frustrated and dragged Gilmore back into the middle of the ring, but when he tried to cinch in another knee lock, Gilmore kicked him in the stomach. Haru seemed unphased though, as he stomped away at the knee of the gaijin, but this just prompted Gilmore to kick him more, eventually forcing Haru to back away to recover. This was just the opening he needed as Gilmore got up to his feet as quickly as possible and floored the veteran with a running back elbow to the chin, sending him to the mat. Gilmore then began to take the match to the mat himself, but he was quickly outclassed as Haru went hold for hold with him until they were both standing and stared each other down. Gilmore was the first to make his move, and he tried to take the veteran down with a clothesline, but Haru dropped to the mat and slapped Gilmore in the Kurofuji Crab after rolling through. Gilmore yelled in pain as his already damaged knee was exploited more, but this just prompted Haru to cinch it in tighter. Gilmore struggled and struggled for ages before eventually fighting his way to the ropes and grabbing hold of the bottom rope, an action that drew massive cheers from the crowd. Gilmore used the ropes to get back up to his feet, but as soon as he did, Haru was already attacking him, blasting the gaijin with several chops of his own and then a few elbows before whipping him across the ring. Haru tried to take him down with a handspring back elbow, but Gilmore countered mid-move with a dropkick to the back of the veteran, and then hit a quick leg drop as well. Gilmore then ran to the ropes and came back with a snap driving elbow right to the sternum before pulling Haru up to his feet. He tried to go for the Anger Management, but Haru blocked it with a few stiff elbows and then took the gaijin overhead with a hip toss. Gilmore got up to his feet quickly and rushed towards Haru again, barely dodging a clothesline, and when he returned he leapt into the air and caught Haru with the Superstar Sensation out of nowhere! Haru was too dazed from the move to have any idea what was going on, and Gilmore eagerly hooked the leg to get the hard fought victory. After he hobbled his way up the ramp, he raised his hand, drawing massive cheers from the crowd. He noticed Haru was getting up to his feet, and he gave the veteran a nod when they made eye contact, a nod that was returned.

TrekkieMonsta Posted July 5, 2008 Author Share Posted July 5, 2008 [CENTER][U]WorldLevelWrestling.jp[/U] [u]News[/u] Fairly experienced star Mitsunari Fugunaga has been signed to a PPA deal, and will make his debut this week. [u]Card[/u] This week we have quite an action packed few cards for you as we get closer to Pork: It’s What’s For Dinner! To kick off the first show we have a non-title match as Bussho Makiguchi faces off against veteran Tasuku Shinozuka. Can Tasuku get the upset or will Bussho continue his recent run? We then have a clash between two big gaijin brawlers as Brandon Smith takes on veteran Jungle Jack. Which man will claim the win here, and could Brandon pick up quite an upset with a win over the Wild Man? Then we have a battle between two youngsters as Yuki Horigoshi looks to make up for his recent lack of success in the tag ranks as he faces White Samurai. Samurai has had a little bit of success as of late, but suffered quite a beating at the hands of Koshiro Ino last week. Will he even be in fit condition for the match? Silver Shark the goes up against Dean Daniels in a non-title affair. Dean seems to have got a little upset last week as he assaulted and hospitalised his former partner The Tic, having to be dragged from the scene. With the backing of the Circle of Blood, will Daniels be able to upset the champion Silver Shark? Or will the champ’s more finely tuned veteran instincts pick up the win for him? Then we have another old vs. young match as Awesome Thunder takes the stage in the main event against Eagle Kawasawa. Eagle has not been seen much as of late, will he be able to make the right impact with a win over the veteran? Or will Thunder take the win himself and continue his recent rejuvenated run? On the second show, we kick off with Mitsunari Fugunaga making his debut against young Toju Munkata, in what will be Toju’s first on screen appearance since he joined the company a few years ago. Will Mitsunari get the debut victory, or will Toju get his on screen debut victory instead? Veteran Dark Angel then takes on Eguichi The Amazing in what will most likely be quite an entertaining match. Will Angel get the victory after his unfortunate debut loss to Angry Gilmore, or will Eguichi add major insult to injury with a victory over the veteran gaijin? White Samurai and Eagle Kawasawa then make another appearance, with Samurai taking on the veteran Tasuku Shinozuka, and Eagle taking on Nathanial Ca$ino. Ca$ino was very impressive in his match against Greg Gauge, can he continue that run here with a possible major upset against Eagle Kawasawa? Then in the main event we have a true battle of veterans, as Haru Kurofuji takes on Silver Shark in a non-title affair. In what is most likely a test for Silver Shark, he takes on a truly seasoned veteran in what will definitely be an exciting contest. Will Haru get back on track, or will Shark prove his worth with a win over the bonafide main eventer?

hrdcoresidebrns Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 [I]Excellent show as always, and I can forgive Hitomi getting the win over Americana as long as he's got that ladies' man gimmick. :D[/I] WLW Rave Tour Show #13 Singles Non-Title [B]Bussho Makiguchi [/B]vs. Tasuku Shinozuka [I]I'll be honest, I have no idea who Shinozuka is, so I'm going with Makiguchi.[/I] Singles Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs.[B] Jungle Jack[/B] [I]If only BBS was ready for a moonshot push, but I don't think so quite yet.

TrekkieMonsta Posted July 9, 2008 Author Share Posted July 9, 2008 [CENTER][I]Sorry about the lateness of this show, I was steeped in work and so had little time for this. Good news though, in about two weeks it's my school holidays, so look forward to almost daily shows![/I] [U][B]Tour Show #13.[/B] [/U] Held at the Hiroshima Sports Park Wednesday, Week 3, February 2011 Attendance = 2,000 (Sell-out!) Announcers = Isei Deushi & Koyo Raikatuji [u][i]Pre-Show[/i][/u] [i]Burning EXILE def. Kenshin Ienari - B Lassana Makutsi def. Masked Cougar – C+[/i] [U][B]Match 1:[/B] Bussho Makiguchi vs. Tasuku Shinozuka[/U]. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TasukuShinozuka.jpg[/IMG] Tasuku seemed to have the early part of the match in his hands, as he was able to take Bussho down almost right away with a clothesline, but when he tried to take control of the mat, he found himself quite outmatched as Bussho went hold for hold with him before locking him in a grounded hammerlock. Tasuku tried to scramble over to the ropes, but the second he began moving, Bussho stood up and drove his knees repeatedly into the back of the veteran, causing him to yell in pain and drop all resistance. Bussho backed away to get some breath back himself, while Tasuku rolled around clutching his back. The champ charged right in again after a few moments, and was able to connect with a stiff football kick right to the spine of the veteran, causing him to cringe again and stay down a little longer. Bussho then connected with a snap driving elbow right to the sternum before locking the veteran in a knee lock, but he got a little too overconfident, taking a bit too long to lock it in, allowing Tasuku to kick him in the face with his free leg and then roll out of the ring to get a breather. When he tried to climb back into the ring though, Bussho met him with a baseball slide right to the face. Tasuku went staggering backwards into the barricade, and was left open to a clothesline from the youngster who then whipped him into the apron. But when the champion tried to charge at the veteran and spear him against the unforgiving wooden barrier that was the apron, Tasuku surprised him mid-route with a belly to belly suplex that sent Bussho flying back first into the apron. Bussho flopped to the floor and did not move for a while, but eventually he was able to get back in the ring, albeit very slowly as he seemed to be in a lot of pain. Tasuku got in before him however, and when Bussho used the ropes to pull him up, the veteran ran in and caught the youngster with a double axe handle and then a quick snap suplex, making sure the main impact was on the lower back, where the champ had connected with the apron earlier. Tasuku was running rings around the champ, as he was targeting his weak spot with several stiff stomps and kicks, but when he pulled Bussho up to his feet, he got a stiff elbow to the jaw. This left the veteran stunned enough for Bussho to take his time getting to his feet, and once he was up he nailed Tasuku with the Elite Elbows, with each elbow hitting the mark exactly. Tasuku dropped down to one knee, prompting Bussho to run to the ropes and then come running back with the Blazing Elbow, flipping Tasuku over from the impact. Bussho hooked the leg eagerly and got the victory. [B]Winner:[/B] Bussho Makiguchi by pinfall in 11:48 – [B]B-[/B] Suddenly we see Cyber Fighter 3000 at the top of the ramp, staring down at the champion, but before he can do anything, Bussho grabs a microphone: “What’s your problem a**hole? You want a fight, or are you just gonna wait there all day like the coward you are? I’m right here, if you want the title, come and get it!” Bussho drops the microphone and his belt before gesturing for Cyber to enter the ring. The Evolution just stood at the top of the ramp motionless before he began jerking about in a robotic motion. Bussho had a look of utter disbelief on his face and snatched up the microphone again. “Are you serious? That thing is a wrestler? He looks more like a damn demo toy at some cr** toy store.” He begins to laugh, but all of a sudden the lights begin to dim and Cyber Fighter’s music blares through the speakers. The ring starts to shake as Bussho loses his footing and falls on his butt, causing the crowd to laugh. Bussho flicks the finger at them, but his smirk his gone when he looks around the ring, there are tens of Cyber Fighter clones surrounding him. The real Cyber Fighter is still breakdancing at the top of the ramp, but his clones then start to enter the ring, causing Bussho to scream in fright and hightail it out of the ring through the one open space. The clones all gather in the middle of the ring and point simultaneously at the champ, who looks like he has just seen a ghost, before all motioning across their waists. Bussho looks down at his title and then at the clones, then pegs it up the ramp and out the back. [b]B-[/b] [U][B]Match 2:[/B] Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs. Jungle Jack.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BulldozerBrandonSmith.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/JungleJack.jpg[/IMG] This was a match between two very heavy hitting brawlers, and the whole bout was practically both men seeing how much damage they could dish out. When the bell rang, Jack raced towards the youngster and was able to send him staggering backwards with a shoulder block, but Brandon fired back with a stiff elbow right to the jaw of the veteran. Jack stepped backwards but then kicked the youngster in the gut before trying to throw him up overhead with an underhook suplex, but Brandon fought against the veteran, and was eventually able to turn it into a hammerlock. Jack cringed slightly for a few seconds before he was able to turn it around as well and then clubbed the youngster in the back of the head with a punch and then sent him flying into the air with a german suplex. Brandon staggered up to his feet almost right away, which was a mistake as he was too dazed to know what was going on, allowing Jack to send him back down with a clothesline and then nail a leaping knee drop. He then locked the youngster in a tight Chinlock, but he was far too close to the ropes, as Brandon was just able to place his foot on the bottom rope, forcing the veteran to release the hold. Brandon was still dazed though, and he tripped slightly as he got up to his feet, leaving him open to a kick to the gut from the veteran who then promptly sent him across the ring with an irish whip. Brandon tried to counter with a clothesline when he returned, but Jack ducked it and then connected with a bicycle kick right to the face of the youngster, sending him to the mat. Jack stomped away at the youngster, mainly targeting the chest and stomach, before pulling Brandon back up to his feet. He nailed an elbow, but got caught with an uppercut and then a punch to the chin from the youngster. Brandon ran to the ropes, trying to take advantage of this new found momentum, but Jack stopped him mid run with a leaping lariat and then waited for Brandon to get back up to his feet. When the youngster eventually got up, Jack clubbed him with a double axe handle and then tried to nail the Jungle Jack Hammer, but Brandon pushed him away into the ropes. When he came back, Brandon tried to take the veteran down with a back body drop, but Jack kicked him in the gut and then planted the youngster with a DDT. Jack quickly pulled him back up and then nailed the Jungle Jack Hammer, but with more effort than usual due to the weight of Brandon, and then hooked the leg to get the hard fought victory. [B]Winners:[/B] Jungle Jack by pinfall in 10:59 - [B]B-[/B] After the bell rings, Jack pulls Brandon up to his feet and then shakes his hand. Brandon turns to leave, but Jack whispers something to him and they end up heading up the ramp together. [b]C-[/b] [U][B]Match 3:[/B] Yuki Horigoshi vs. White Samurai[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/YukiHorigoshi.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg[/IMG] Without any chemistry notes from the road agents, this was a phenomenal match for these two, as they really tore up the ring. When the bell rang, Samurai instantly tried to seize control with a clothesline, but Yuki was able to duck it and then cracked Samurai over the head with a Mongolian chop. Yuki then took the fight to his opponent, battering away at him with several punches and elbows, but when he tried to go for a dropkick after whipping Samurai across the ring, he found himself crashing down to the mat as the Honour Warrior stayed at the ropes. Samurai instantly took the match to the mat, mainly focusing on the arms of Yuki, but he soon found himself a match in his fellow youngster, as the two of them went hold for hold for a short while before getting up to their feet and staring each other down. Samurai was the first to make his move as he charged towards Yuki, but he was met with a high elevation dropkick to the forehead, flipping him over from the impact. Yuki pulled him back up to his feet and then whipped him into the corner, but when he tried to follow up with a back elbow, Samurai leapt over him and then connected with a head scissors that sent him rolling out of the ring. Yuki staggered backwards into the barricade, and clutched his back when he hit it. Samurai tried to follow up with a running plancha, but Yuki side stepped him and clocked him across the face with a stiff punch right to the jaw. This stunned Samurai, because he stayed down for a little while before staggering up to his feet. Yuki was right there when he did, and he whipped the Honour Warrior into the apron, then dropkicked him back first into it. Samurai dropped down to one knee, clutching his back, but before he could recover at all, Yuki caught him in the side of the face with a running knee. Yuki then climbed onto Samurai and began to batter away at him with several punches before he quickly rolled into the ring and then out again to break the count. Yuki then pulled Samurai up to his feet, but when he tried to whip him into the steel steps, Samurai countered and then brought him down to the unforgiving floor with a float over DDT. The Honour Warrior waited a little while for Yuki to get back to his feet, and then climbed onto the apron when he saw his opponent slowing getting up onto his feet. Yuki was able to steady himself quite quickly, but when he got up to his feet, he was met with a corkscrew splash from the Honour Warrior, and this left both men down for a while. They got up at the same time, and engaged in an exchange of blows, an exchange that neither man got control of before they had to roll into the ring to avoid being counted out. Yuki caught Samurai with a stiff elbow though and then ran across the ring, aiming for the Yuki Rush Lariat, but just when he was going to hit it, Samurai leapfrogged him and then nailed an enziguri that sent him down to the mat almost right away. Samurai then waited for Yuki to get up to his feet, and when he did, he whipped his opponent into the corner and followed up with a handspring back elbow, connecting right with the chin of Yuki, then nailed a hurracanrana that sent Yuki rolling right across the ring. Horigoshi tried to get back in control though, as he got up almost right away, but Samurai quickly sent him down with a leg lariat, and then leapt up to the top rope and nailed the Art of War, coming down on the sternum of his fellow youngster. He hooked the leg and got the victory in a fairly back and forth match. [B]Winner:[/B] White Samurai by pinfall in 11:50 – [B]B+[/B] Mr. Miwa is seen strutting down the hallway, when suddenly a hand reaches from off screen and shoves him into the wall. Angry Gilmore emerges and looks angrily at the much smaller man. “I need you to send a message to your client. So far, he hasn’t said anything about my challenge, but I want to make it perfectly clear. When that bell rings at Pork: It’s What’s For Dinner, there will be no saving him from losing that title. Because when that bell rings, the full rage of my soul emerges and nobody has ever escaped it before.” Miwa cowers while Gilmore steps backwards, but he then points at the manager. “Tell him it is coming for him, and it will take his soul, just like it claimed mine.” Gilmore disappears into the darkness, leaving a frightened Miwa straightening his suit. The manager stands up before running down the corridor to fetch Rhino. [b]B+[/b] [U][B]Match 4:[/B] Silver Shark vs. Dean Daniels. Non-Title[/u] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DeanDaniels.jpg[/IMG] This was an amazing match, with these producing the quality of a match that deserved to be in the main event slot. When the bell rang, Daniels tried to take the champ down to the mat by tripping him up after managing to get behind him, but Shark leapt over his arms and then connected with a dropkick that sent Dean to the mat. Shark took the match to the mat after that, mainly focusing on the upper back and head of the veteran, with the main hold being an underhook armbar, but Dean was able to summon the strength to fight his way to the ropes, forcing the champ to release him and back away. Dean took his time getting up, and when Shark ran towards him, trying to hit a clothesline, Dean threw him up overhead, sending him crashing to the outside quite dangerously. Shark landed on his lower back, and the second he hit he let out a loud yell of agony, and began to clutch his back while rolling around. Dean waited for him to get back up to his feet, and the second the champ was up Dean slingshotted himself over the top rope with a diving cross body that left both men down for a while. Dean was the first man up, and after taking some time to recover he pulled the champ up with him, but before he could do anything Shark caught him with a few punches and elbows to the gut before sending Dean up and over with a suplex, bringing him down back first on the hard concrete. Dean winced in pain and clutched his back before rolling into the ring. Shark took his time getting back in, due to his own back hurting, but when he did get into the ring he was solidly in control, as he was able to slowly pick apart Dean with several slick holds and kicks, mainly targeting the upper back of his fellow gaijin, weakening him up for the Jaws of Life. Dean eventually managed to fight his way to the ropes, but when he was getting up, the champ brought the fight back to him almost right away, as Dean found himself back on the mat from a back elbow and then lifted into the air with an elevated surfboard. Dean screamed in agony but refused to give up, as he was worried about disappointing his fellow Circle members, and just when it seemed like Dean was going to pass out due to the pressure being applied, he managed to escape the move and then catch the champ with a head scissors when he got up to his feet, and then took some time to catch his breath. When the champ got up, Dean took him down with a clothesline and then began to pick apart Shark himself, targeting the legs and lower back, but he soon found himself going hold for hold with the champ as Shark was able to counter every single hold he fired at him, and then was able to clock Dean with a kick to the face before getting up. Dean tried to take him back down with a judo style takeover, but Shark held firm and then pulled Dean backwards with the Russian Legsweep, with Dean rolling over from the impact and lying flat on his face. The advantage continually switched between the two for the remaining few minutes, but Shark was able to steal it away at the vital moment, reversing a Cradle Piledriver attempt into a back body drop, and when Dean was back on his feet, he caught his fellow gaijin right on the chin with the Deep Sea Snap, and went for the cover, getting the very hard fought victory. [B]Winner:[/B] Silver Shark by pinfall in 12:16 – [B]A[/B] We go backstage to see Gilmore walking down the hallway, and just as he turns the corner Mr. Miwa emerges and slaps him across the face. Gilmore reels backwards holding his face, but just as he goes to swing for a punch, Rhino Umaga charges in out of nowhere and spears his challenger into the wall. Gilmore slumps to the floor, and Rhino leaps out an animalistic roar of anger before Miwa approaches the barely conscious Gilmore. He leans in close to his face and after a slight slap begins to speak. “You never threaten me or my client. You talk about how your soul was claimed by your rage, and that we should fear you, but Rhino was born without a soul, without a heart, and he would have no second thoughts if I told him to kill you right now. But I’m going to let you make your way to the title match in a couple of weeks, if you heal in time that is. And when you show up, you will learn what rage truly is.” With one more slap to Gilmore’s face, he stands up and walks down the corridor with Rhino, who walks in a more menacing manner than usual. [b]B+[/b] [U][B]Match 5:[/B] Awesome Thunder vs. Eagle Kawasawa.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AwesomeThunder.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EagleKawasawa.jpg[/IMG] Eagle fell prey to the common misconception that he was much faster than the veteran Thunder, and he tried to run rings around the current ace, but when he tried to slide along the mat for a drop toehold he was met with a stiff kick to the face from the veteran, and he soon scrambled up to his feet again. Eagle then tried to take the veteran down with a clothesline, but Thunder ducked it and then fired back with a dropkick before whipping the youngster across the ring. Eagle tried to counter mid-move with a tilt a whirl Headscissors, but Thunder was able to resist and then he just threw the youngster across the ring, using Eagle’s momentum against him. Eagle was slower getting up to his feet this time, and was slightly dazed, because when he tried to attack Thunder again, the veteran easily took him down to the mat and then leapt over him to lock him in a tight grounded headlock. Eagle flailed slightly to try and break out of the hold, but just when it seemed like he was going to reach the ropes, Thunder stood up and then stomped repeatedly on his head before dragging him back into the middle of the ring and then locking him in a tight armbar. Eagle struggled again and fought his way over to the ropes, managing to just make it and wrap his arms around the bottom. Thunder began to get frustrated and pulled Eagle up to his feet before whipping him across the ring, but when he tried to clothesline the youngster down to the mat for some more mat wrestling, Eagle nailed him with step up head scissors, sending him tumbling out of the ring. Thunder landed face first, and staggered up to his feet. The second he turned around, Eagle leapt over the top rope with a slingshot splash to the veteran, sending him down. The youngster got up almost immediately and rolled back into the ring, with Thunder taking longer than usual. When he eventually got back, Eagle stomped away at him and then ran to ropes. Thunder tried to catch him with a leaping knee to the jaw, but Eagle saw it coming and connected with a baseball slide style dropkick to the knee that flipped the veteran over. Thunder clutched at his knee in pain while Eagle thought up a game plan. When the veteran began to get up to his feet, Eagle went right back on the attack, focusing on Thunder’s now weakened knee, hitting several consecutive dropkicks to the damaged joint and then locked the veteran in a knee lock. Thunder was a bit too close to the ropes though, and was able to fight his way fairly easily over to them and force the youngster to break the hold, but when he tried to get up to his feet, Eagle ran at him, aiming to connect with a leg lariat. Thunder managed to catch him mid-move though and he then dumped the youngster to the unforgiving floor below. Eagle stayed down for a while, and when he eventually got up to his feet he was still slightly dazed, stopping him from getting out of the way of the swan dive senton bomb from Thunder. The veteran came crashing down on top of the youngster, and both were down for a while before they got up pretty much at the same time and then rolled into the ring. Thunder limped up to his feet and tried pull Eagle up with him, but the youngster elbowed him in the gut and then connected with a jumping enziguri that flipped the veteran over. Eagle went to concentrate on the knee again, but Thunder was still too aware of what was going on, as he easily scramble over to the ropes and grabbed hold of them. Eagle tried to pull the veteran away from the ropes, but got a faceful of Thunder’s boot in response, sending him staggering backwards. Thunder got up to his feet and managed to boot Eagle before the youngster recovered, and then whipped him off the ropes. When he came back, Thunder ran forward and nailed the gamengiri right to the jaw, and Eagle looked like he had been knocked out by the impact alone. He flopped to the mat, and Thunder crawled along the mat towards him, unable to stand up due to the pain in his knee. The veteran went for the cover, but Eagle kicked out just in time, with the referee being just half an inch from giving Thunder the win. The veteran slapped the mat in frustration and pulled Eagle up to his feet, but got a stiff elbow from the youngster, dropping him down to one knee. Eagle then ran to the ropes and tried to nail the Vision Quest when he returned, but the veteran was two steps ahead of him it seemed, as Thunder was able to catch him with a second gamengiri when he rebounded. This time, Eagle really was out cold, and the second Thunder slapped him in the Ace Clutch, the referee called for the bell, as Eagle was not responding. [B]Winner:[/B] Awesome Thunder by submission in 19:55 – [B]B+[/B] [I]Summary: Bussho Makiguchi def. Tasuku Shinozuka – B- Jungle Jack def. Bulldozer Brandon Smith – B- White Samurai def. Yuki Horigoshi – B+ Silver Shark def. Dean Daniels - A Awesome Thunder def. Eagle Kawasawa – B+ [/I] [B]Overall = B+[/B] Notes: Darn, the main event disappointed. Was surprised with the Samurai/Yuki and Shark/Daniels matches, but this will mean good things in the future for all four men if they can continue at this level. Just because you hate Shark hrdcore doesn’t mean I have to as well :p haha.[/CENTER] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hrdcoresidebrns Posted July 12, 2008 Share Posted July 12, 2008 True, my hatred of Shark doesn't need to translate into the diary, and I was shocked to see him and "Captain Average" Deano Machino pull out an A rated match. I'm much more excited to see a possible teaming of BBS and Jungle Jack. Shame that my boy Awesome Thunder couldn't deliver in the main event, but still a good show overall!

TrekkieMonsta Posted July 13, 2008 Author Share Posted July 13, 2008 [CENTER][U][B]Tour Show #14.[/B] [/U] Held at the Nagasaki Sports Park Saturday, Week 3, February 2011 Attendance = 2,000 (Sell-out!) Announcers = Isei Deushi & Koyo Raikatuji [u][i]Pre-Show[/i][/u] [i]Kimuraman def. KC Glenn – C+[/i] [U][B]Match 1:[/B] Mitsunari Fugunaga vs. Toju Munkata[/U]. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MitsunariFugunaga.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TojuMunkata.jpg[/IMG] This was just a horrible match through and through, as neither of these guys could really carry the match on their own, and that really showed. When the match began, Toju instantly managed to take Fugu off of his feet with a back elbow, but when he tried to hit a flip senton the veteran put his knees up so that Toju came crashing down across them back first. The veteran then stayed in control for quite some time, being able to ground the youngster with quite a few slick submissions, including a scissored armbar, but he began to get a bit too overconfident, allowing Toju to clamber over to the ropes and then pull himself up. Mitsunari tried to charge in and steal back control with a clothesline, but Toju caught him with a springboard missile dropkick and then went up top. He tried to come off of the top with a frog splash, but the veteran Fugunaga rolled out of the way just in time, and then began to circle the downed youngster, waiting for him to get up to his feet. The second Toju got up to one knee, the veteran charged in and nailed a leaping knee right to the jaw and then hooked the leg, getting the debut victory in quite a ramshackle of a match. [B]Winner:[/B] Mitsunari Fugunaga by pinfall in 9:58 – [B]D+[/B] We then go backstage to see the tag champions Dragon & Furusawa holding microphones. Dragon seems fairly relaxed, while Furusawa seems very angry, and is also the first one to speak. “Circle of Blood, for a few weeks now, you guys have been getting involved in our matches and then attacking us afterwards. You seem to leave us for dead, but we keep on coming back, even better than ever before.” Dragon smiles, and Furusawa holds up his share of the tag belts up in the air so it can fully be seen. “You seem to forget Koki, we hold these belts for a reason. We are at the top of our game, the top of this division, something that you aren’t. You were never as good as us two, and certainly not now, your at least a decade and a half past your prime. Whereas I am just getting there, and Dragon here has more talent to beat you four times over.” Dragon speaks now, while Mabuchi backs off and leans against the wall, his title proudly draped diagonally across his body. “But since you guys seem to think that your numbers makes you better, we have a little challenge for you. Next week, we challenge you to a three on three tag match. It will be you three against us two and a partner of our choice. If you truly think you guys are better than us, you will meet us in the ring and give us your all.” The champs smile and pose beside each other before we cut to the announcers, who talk over who could be their mystery partner. [b]C[/b] The announcers suddenly say that there is a message from the back, and we then see Lassana Makutsi backstage leaning against a wall. “Last week, I made an example out of your beloved Silver Shark. But I want some real competition, so next week, I’m laying out an open challenge. When I came to this company, I expected to have fun and to have proper matches, but instead all I see are people running around in costumes who think they’re cool. So this challenge will be my chance to prove that I am the best damn wrestler this company has ever seen, and that I am not only the future of WLW, but also THE EVOLUTION of this sport. Those who fall behind just aren’t fit, and so fall to the Assassin’s blade. One by one, they will all fall, until only the strongest stands.” He then moves forward and throws a few punches at the camera before punching through a nearby wall and then strolling off down the corridor. [b]C[/b] [U][B]Match 2:[/B] Dark Angel vs. Eguichi The Amazing.[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DarkAngel.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EguchiTheAmazing.jpg[/IMG] Oh dear lord, another horrible match. Even with Angel’s immense skill, this was a horrible encounter. When the bell rang, Angel ran straight for the mime, but was met with what seemed to be a force push, as Eguichi pushed his hand forward, and Angel was stopped in place before flying backwards. The veteran looked up in amazement before getting up to his feet, but each time he tried to attack the youngster he was sent flying backwards again. Eventually he was able to find a weakspot by distracting Eguichi by saying “Ooo a gerbil”, causing the youngster to spin around to look for it, and upon turning back around Angel slapped him strongly across the face with the stiffest slap ever. Eguichi tried to build his legendary wall, but Angel kept kicking away at each level as it was built. Upon seeing it’s destruction, Eguichi fell to the mat crying hysterically, which made the veteran back away with a worried look on his face, but Angel soon rushed back in and kicked him across the face before then nailing a leg drop right across the back of the neck. Angel then kept control of the match with several submission holds, almost getting the youngster to tap out when he slapped him in a camel clutch, but Eguichi’s instincts kicked in as he was able to fight his way to the ropes and force Angel to break the hold and back away. Eguichi slowly got up to his feet, only to be met with a dropkick from the veteran that sent him tumbling off the apron. Angel then ran across the ring and when Eguichi was up to his feet, the veteran leapt clean over the top rope and connected with a diving splash, sending both men into the barricade. It was a while before either man was up, but the first to move was Angel, who got back into the ring soon after coming to his senses. He shoved the youngster back into the ring, but upon getting up to his feet, he found himself trapped in a lasso that Eguichi had thrown in his direction, preventing him from moving at all. The youngster then yanked at Angel, causing the veteran to trip up, and then proceeded to tie a knot before stepping back to admire his work. Angel had a look of complete boredom on his face as he easily tore through the imaginary rope and then got up to his feet. Eguichi ran towards him to take him off his feet, but Angel caught him with a boot to the gut and then planted him with the Descent into Hell, getting the victory. [B]Winners:[/B] Dark Angel by pinfall in 10:43 - [B]D+[/B] We then see a quick hype video of Dark Angel following a brief commercial break. [b]C-[/b] [U][B]Match 3:[/B] White Samurai vs. Tasuku Shinozuka[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TasukuShinozuka.jpg[/IMG] Yet again these two impress, with Samurai being able to pull out another great match for somebody of his level. When the bell rang, he was a bit overzealous, as he charged towards Tasuku, only to be caught in the jaw with a punch from the veteran who then swiftly took the match to the mat. Samurai tried to go hold for hold with Tasuku, but he soon found himself on the losing side, being locked in a grounded hammerlock and then kneed in the face. Tasuku tried to pull Samurai up to his feet after that, but the youngster was able to catch him with a strong elbow to the gut and then a backflip kick to the chin that sent the veteran staggering backwards. Samurai then rushed in and hit a spinning heel kick that hit the jaw as well, sending the veteran flopped to the mat. Samurai took control with a few quick holds before locking Tasuku in a tight leg lock. Time and again he stood up before dropping his knee right into the joints of the veteran’s leg, eager to weaken him up, but Tasuku refused to give up, no matter how much pain he was in, and he was able to fight his way to the ropes and make the youngster release the hold. As soon as Tasuku was up to his feet though, Samurai was able to catch him with a handspring dropkick that sent him onto the apron. Samurai tried to connect with a leaping head scissors, but the veteran was able to resist him and then leap off the edge of the apron, bring him head first into the unforgiving floor outside with a powerbomb. Neither man moved for a long time, with Samurai seeming to be barely conscious, but he eventually stirred. Tasuku was able to keep in control with a few strong elbows and he then rolled the youngster into the ring, but he found himself on the wrong end of a basement dropkick when he tried to enter it himself. Samurai then took this time to get his breath back while the veteran slowly got up to both feet. The second he did, Samurai rushed in, but Tasuku was able to catch him with a big boot followed by an elbow drop that gave Tasuku control of the match again. The veteran swiftly kept the match on the mat with a prolonged sleeper hold, but when Samurai showed signs of getting to the ropes, Tasuku dragged him back into the middle of the ring and then slapped him in a single leg Boston Crab. Samurai yelled in pain, but he was able to bear it enough to fight his way over to the ropes, forcing Tasuku to back away. Samurai used the ropes to pull himself up, and he was able to throw the veteran over him when Tasuku tried to catch him with a back elbow. However, Tasuku was able to land on the apron outside and clubbed the youngster in the back with an overhead chop. Samurai staggered forward before leaping and spinning around to connect with a vicious enziguri. Tasuku went limp and he flopped off the apron, giving Samurai time to recover his breath. Tasuku started to move and climbed onto the apron again, only to be flung back into it by Samurai, who then connected with a series of stomps before pulling the veteran up to his feet once again. Tasuku tried to fight back with a few elbows and punches, but Samurai silenced him with a leaping knee before running to the ropes. Tasuku managed to summon the final bits of energy in his system to stand up and run after Samurai, but this proved to be a mistake, as the Honour Warrior was able to then catch the veteran with the Bushido Knee, a running dropkick style knee strike, flipping Tasuku right over upon impact. Samurai quickly scurried over and hooked the leg, getting the victory in a good match up. [B]Winner:[/B] White Samurai by pinfall in 15:08 – [B]B[/B] After a quick break we got backstage to see Koshiro Ino running around frantically, ramming himself into the walls, creating gaping holes, and throwing various pieces of furniture around. The camera catches up to him and he quickly turns to face it, revealing his usual face paint to have changed to pure red. He breathes heavily while speaking, and constantly looks as if he wants to rip the camera in two. “Haru Kurofuji, I took you for a man who had control, a man who was capable of respecting those who were genuinely at the top, whether or not they were better than you. But then last week, you attacked me, you left me in a pool of my own blood, and that brought forth something I have never felt before.” His tenses all his muscles and looks like he is about to explode. When speaking, he reaches up and grasps his hair with both hands, a look of pure anger on his face. “YOU BROUGHT FOR THE RAGE, YOU BROUGHT FORTH THE POWER, AND YOU GAVE ME THE FUEL FOR MY AMBITION!” His head shakes violently before he speaks again. “You can fell it too can’t you Haru? You have raised the anger and retribution of the billions of people that inhabit this planet, and the power of those billions of people floats through these veins, giving me the strength to strike you down and leave you quivering in your own pool of blood. Then you will see how it feels to be defenceless, how to be weak, how to be genuinely scared for your life.” He seems to have calmed down a little bit, but he then reaches for something off screen and then throws it across the room. “I will see you in a week Haru, and I hope to god you are ready for it, or else there may be nothing left of you but dust.” He breathes heavily before lumbering down the hall way, and when a crew member crosses past him, he punches the poor man right in the face and continues walking. [b]B[/b] [U][B]Match 4:[/B] Nathanial Ca$ino vs. Eagle Kawasawa[/u] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NathanielCaino.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EagleKawasawa.jpg[/IMG] This was quite an entertaining match, though not as good as Nate’s last match. As soon as the bell rang, the gaijin ran in and tried to take Eagle down with a clothesline, but Eagle ducked it and then fired back with a few stiff elbows before whipping Nate across the ring. When the youngster came back Eagle threw him into the air and then brought him down with a vicious flapjack, bringing Nate down right onto his face. Eagle was in control pretty much from that point on, keeping the young gaijin down on the mat to take away his aerial advantage. However, just when Eagle seemed ready to nail the Vision Quest and end the match quite quickly, Nate leapt to his feet and caught the experienced star right in the gut with the Kitchen Sink Knee, almost flipping Eagle right over from the impact. Eagle cringed in pain and gasped for air, but Nate gave him very little time to breath, connecting with a stiff kick right to the spine and then pulled him up to his feet before sending Eagle across the ring. When he came back, Nate leapt into the air and nailed a hurracanrana, but when he hooked the leg Eagle kicked out just after the two count, causing Nate to slap the mat in anger. After a brief argument with the referee over his counting, Nate yelled abuse at the downed Eagle before pulling him up to his feet slowly. The young gaijin left his guard down when doing so, allowing Eagle to drill him right in the jaw with an uppercut, and when Nate was staggering backwards holding his chin, Eagle ran towards him and nailed a running enziguri, flipping Nate right over. Eagle took a little time to get his breath back, and when Nate was up again, he ran straight at the youngster and caught him with a running bulldog, planting the gaijin face first into the mat again. The veteran Eagle then stomped away stiffly at the back of Nate before pulling him up to his feet. When he tried to throw the gaijin overhead with a suplex, Nate was able to counter it by dropping behind Eagle and then drilling him with a neckbreaker. Nate seemed to be priming to connect with the Hard Eight, a running sliding dropkick to the face, and pick up the major upset, but just when he was about to nail it, Eagle rolled out of the way and then brought him down quite stiffly with a sleeperslam. Nate bounced on the mat from the impact of the move, and he stayed down for a quite a while. When he slowly began to get up to his feet, Eagle signalled to the crowd, and when Nate was up to one knee, the home star ran in and nailed the Vision Quest. Nate flopped forward, his eyes glazing over, and Eagle almost bent him in half when he hooked the leg, getting the victory. [B]Winner:[/B] Eagle Kawasawa by pinfall in 10:17 – [B]B-[/B] After another quick break, we return to see Mr Miwa backstage with Rhino Umaga and Awesome Thunder standing behind him. “My clients and I are not amused. After seeing how easily Umaga disposed of Gilmore a few days ago, I don’t feel that the American is fit enough to face somebody as skilled as my client here, so I demand a reconsideration on the part of Contendership. Yes, I am aware he did win a match to get the shot, but he is barely in a fit enough state to attend this show, let alone wrestle in a week.” Umaga smiles, proud of the damage he dealt on the last show. “And on behalf of Awesome Thunder, I have to just ask one question. Greg Gauge? Is there nobody better for my client to face? Thunder is just what his name says he is, Awesome, and Greg is your typical kid, always trying to be better than the big boys. In my view, he should be taught a lesson, a true lesson in respect when my client destroys him like he can’t imagine.” Thunder nods his head and then throws it back while cackling. “If management decide not to change Gilmore having a title shot, then I have a little challenge for him. Next week, on the final show before he gets the worst beating of his life, I challenge him to a tag match against Rhino Umaga. Both my client and Gilmore can pick their partners. However, it will be of no use for Gilmore, because the partner we have picked out is capable of ripping you to shreds as soon as that bell rings.” All three men burst into laughter before we cut to a hype video for the main event. [b]B[/b] for all three segments. [U][B]Match 5:[/B] Haru Kurofuji vs. Silver Shark. Non-Title[/U] [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HaruKurofuji.jpg[/IMG] vs. [IMG]http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg[/IMG] When the bell rang, it was Haru who ran and tried to take the gaijin champ down with a dropkick, but Shark showed his veteran experience when he easily dodged the attempt and then caught Haru with one of his own when he got up to his feet. Shark tried to keep control of the match by keeping Haru on the mat, but this slowly began to work against him, as Haru was easily countering any hold that the gaijin tried to cinch in, and eventually Haru was able to claw his way to the ropes to force Shark to back off. When he got up to his feet, the gaijin tried to run forward and connect with a clothesline, but Haru ducked underneath it and used the outstretched limb to yank Shark to the mat and locked him in a scissored armbar, yanking the arm out further from time to time. After a long struggle, Shark was able to roll over and kicked his fellow veteran in the face until he released the hold. Haru tried to bring Shark down to the mat with an STO, but Shark was able to back flip and counter with a float over DDT, spiking Haru right on the top of his head. Shark slowly got up to his feet to take a breather, but he took a little too long, as his opponent was able to catch him off guard with an enziguri out of nowhere that left both men down for a little while. When they did finally begin to move, it was Haru who got up first, but he staggered slightly before grabbing his head, obviously feeling the effects of the DDT. This gave Shark time to begin to get up, but upon getting to his feet Haru kicked him full in the face and then nailed a flip senton before going for a cover. Shark only just managed to kick out, as the strike to the face had dazed him quite heavily. Haru used this to his advantage to pull the gaijin into the middle of the ring and lock him in a tight knee lock, trying to take away his aerial advantage. Occasionally Haru would stand up and then drive his own knee into Shark’s knee, but he also stomped away at the other leg sometimes to make sure Shark was in near agony. Haru got a little too overconfident though, and he spent a little too long showboating before connecting with the knee drop, giving Shark time to kick Haru dangerously close to the groin and then roll away. Haru’s expression was one of true pain and shock as he slumped to the mat. Both men were down for a while, with the first one up being Shark, although he was noticeably limping. He hobbled over to Haru and slowly pulled him up to his feet, but his fellow veteran caught the gaijin with a dropsault out of nowhere right to the chin, and then slapped him straight back in the knee lock. Shark yelled in pain and flailed his arms wildly, desperately trying to reach the ropes, but Haru kept dragging him back into the middle every time he moved even slightly. The gaijin was just about ready to tap out when he heard the chants from the crowd, with a surprising amount cheering “Sil-ver Shark! Sil-ver Shark!”. He seemed to fill up with energy as he clawed his way over to the ropes. He almost got to them, with his fingers mere millimetres away from touching them, when Haru released the hold and then stomped on the back of his head, leaving Shark face down on the mat. Haru paced a little bit before pulling Shark back up to his feet and whipping him across the ring. He tried to catch the gaijin with a back elbow, but Shark was able to duck it and then come flying back with a springboard moonsault press, but he landed badly on his knee, causing him to roll around cringing and clutching his knee in agony. Haru slowly got up to his feet, feeling the effect of the moonsault, but when he saw Shark rolling around on the mat he quickly scurried over and pulled the wounded gaijin up to his feet before lifting him high into the air. Shark tried to stop Haru with a few quick punches to the head, but it was to no avail, as Haru brought his bad knee down across his own with a shin breaker. Shark flopped to the mat and yelled in pain, causing a slight smile to creep across the face of Kurofuji. Shark slowly made his way to the ropes, inch by inch, with Haru slowly strolling alongside him, taunting him. When the gaijin tried to use the ropes to pull himself up to his feet, Haru kicked his bad leg out from under him, causing Shark to collapse back to the mat again. Haru laughed before pulling the gaijin back up to his feet and slapping him in the face. Shark suddenly burst full of life as he fired back with a stiff elbow, and then three more, which sent Haru staggering backwards. Shark then ran to the ropes, still favouring his bad knee, and was able to take the veteran Haru off of his feet with a leg lariat. Shark tried to get up to his feet quickly, but his bad knee buckled from underneath him, causing him to drop to his stomach again. However, he was able to use the ropes to get up to his feet and he then began to signal to the crowd, who were up on their feet. The champ began to stomp his good foot on the mat repeatedly, and the fans began to copy him. When Haru got up to his feet, Shark ran towards him, and just when he was going to nail the Deep Sea Snap, Haru ducked at the very last second and then brought the gaijin to the mat and slapped him in the Kurofuji Crab. Shark was bang in the middle of the ring, and he had nowhere to go, but this didn’t stop him from struggling. However, when Haru leant onto the champs back, putting more pressure on his bad knee, Shark tapped for fear of permanent damage. [B]Winner:[/B] Haru Kurofuji by submission in 18:48 – [B]A[/B] [I]Summary: Mitsunari Fugunaga def. Toju Munkata – D+ Dark Angel def. Eguichi The Amazing – D+ White Samurai def. Tasuku Shinoazuka – B Eagle Kawasawa def. Nathanial Ca$ino – B- Haru Kurofuji def. Silver Shark - A [/I] [B]Overall = B+[/B] Notes: Wow, the first two matches are the worst I have had. For some reason, Angel’s loss caused him to come in with F- momentum, when usually people come in with some kind of momentum despite the loss, causing that horrific match with Eguichi. Again Silver Shark impressed me, pulling out an A rated match for the second show in a row.[/CENTER] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
