DIASPORA- Takayuki of the Revolution

Zergon · May 26, 2012

Prime Dragon, Hyotaru Ichigawa & Zodiac vs Hiroto Nori, Koto Arat & Shintaro Hideki

I have hard time going against Guardians when both Dragon and Ichigawa are in the same team.

GUSHIKEN, Chojiro Ono & Soh Terajima vs Talisman, Eikichi Minamoto & Taheji Ebisawa

Other than GUSHIKEN the Kuro line-up looks little weak in this one so I go with Guardians.

Sairento vs Xtinction

Squash.

Incognito vs Meido Machine

Nope Meido isn´t going over here.

Dark Wolf II vs HUSTLE Umiro

This one is actually quite tough and depends about who you want to push but HUSTLE is more established from these two so that´s the way I will be going for now.

Shimizudani, Inokuma & Hirasi vs Date, Yamawaki & Takashi

S.H.I.P team over trio of jobbers.

Tian Long & Blood Spider Jr vs Yachi Kotara & Kohei Hidaka

You need to keep Long strong and I don´t see why Kotara or Hidaka should go over here.

Kan Mitsubishi vs Hunter Wolfe

Wolfe might have better future in DIASPORA than Mitsubishi but right now he´s jobbing.

Prime Dragon, Hyotaru Ichigawa & Zodiac vs Hiroto Nori, Koto Arat & Shintaro Hideki

I hate to see Nori lose. But PD/HyoIchi and Zodiac are too much.

GUSHIKEN, Chojiro Ono & Soh Terajima vs Talisman, Eikichi Minamoto & Taheji Ebisawa

A very tough pick. Ebisawa gives Talisman an excuse for losing but Terajima has been the buttmonkey for Kuro. So we'll say he tries to use the box, gets it punted in his face and this leads to the loss.

Sairento vs Xtinction

Sairento. Xtinction. Xecution.

Incognito vs Meido Machine

Maid Man isn't winning this one.

Dark Wolf II vs HUSTLE Umiro

A tough pick. I think Tiger is itching to give Dark Wolf, the Howling Terror, a win.

Shimizudani, Inokuma & Hirasi vs Date, Yamawaki & Takashi

Star power wins out.

Tian Long & Blood Spider Jr vs Yachi Kotara & Kohei Hidaka

Mr. Protected needs a win.

Kan Mitsubishi vs Hunter Wolfe

I think Tiger will take the hit on the match to give Wolfe a boost. Could easily see Mitsubishi winning this though. Mitsubishi should team with Blood Spider to form Blood Diamonds.

Dotonbori Athletic Center, Osaka, Kansai (1,000- Super No Vacancy)</div>

Match 0: Kan Mitsubishi vs Hunter Wolfe

Wolfe dominated most of this match, but Mitsubishi showed fighting spirit by kicking out of the German Suplex Hold at two and the Guardian's member's luck was in when Wolfe made the pin too close to the ropes after nailing Mitsubishi with the Hunting Strike (Discus Elbow). Wolfe's luck wasn't in however, when Mitsubishi nailed 'Ronin Thunder' with the Power Punch to earn a somewhat fortunate win.

Result: Kan Mitsubishi [w] bt Hunter Wolfe [L] in 5:47 via pinfall (Mitsubishi Power Punch)

Rating: 37

Takayuki Balls: Unfortunately for Wolfe right now, he's at that stage where no-one will buy into him beating anyone- even men of limited talent like Mitsubishi. I did book this match in a way for Wolfe to look as strong as possible, but at this moment in time, his role in DIASPORA is to be the resident enhancer of talents.

Main Show

</div>

The main show began with The Guardians of DIASPORA standing proudly in the ring, displaying their collection of titles, Prime Dragon with the Super Junior Championship, Ichigawa with the Heavyweight Championship and 'Whispered' Zodiac and Talisman with their newly one Junior Tag Team Championships.

Prime Dragon then gave a speech about how 'The Guardians were winning the war and that they would drive the poison that is Kuro out of DIASPORA'

Hiroto Nori and the rest of S.H.I.P then came out onto the entrance ramp. He reminded Dragon and the rest of the Guardians that ' It wasn't all about them and Kuro and that S.H.I.P may be 'down' after Neon Genesis Evolution but they are never out and that they would strike back to become THE top faction here in DIASPORA....not the Guardians, not Kuro and that the strike back begins tonight when they defeat the Guardians in the main event'.

Dragon answered back saying 'Himself and The Guardians actually respect S.H.I.P's fighting spirit but that at the end of the day The Guardians were the elite faction here in DIASPORA, and the fact that they hold most of the gold proves that point.

Rating: 67

Takayuki Balls: This was basically just there to highlight that The Guardians are on top for now, but that the faction warfare is not over....and of course to add a little extra hype to the main event (like it really needed it at this stage- fans have paid their ticket and it's not like we're on TV yet either). Though the crowd were here to see action, because the big names were involved, this talky bit went down OK.

<div style="text-align:center;">Match 1: Tian Long & Blood Spider Jr vs Kohei Hidaka & Yachi Kotara

The 'Forgotten' duo of Hidaka and Kotara manage to take control of the match early on isolating Blood Spider Jr, with Hidaka getting a close two count following a Flying Body Press. But the Kuro-duo manage to turn things around when a box wielding Soh Terajima distracts referee Ochida and Spider nails Hidaka with the Poison Mist (Asian Mist attack followed by a high head kick).

That enables the 'New Nightmare' to get Long back into the match, and though Kotara is able to make the save after Hidaka is planted with the Emperor Driver (Sit Out Side Powerslam), he is nailed with a springboard Enziguri from Blood Spider Jr and then placed in the Dynasty Lock (Inverted STF) and with Spider able to hold Hidaka off from making the save, 'Rough Rider' was forced to tap out.

Result: Tian Long [w] & Blood Spider Jr bt Kohe Hidaka & Yachi Kotara [L] in 9:48 via submission (Dynasty Lock)

Rating: 51

Takayuki Balls: This ended up being pretty solid for what it was, a throwaway opening tag between two make-shift teams.

</div>

The S.H.I.P trio started the match stronger, and at one point had their opponents in a trio of submissions, but Inokuma who was the legal man trapped in Takashi's Dollars (Inverted Cloverleaf) hold was able to make it to the ropes.

ShimiKuma plus one, were then able to turn things round managing to isolate Takashi in their corner. But 'Nippon Hart' once again showed the resillience that earned him a spot in S.H.I.P by kicking out of a Shimu-Lariat and a Sashimi-Plex (Fisherman Suplex) from Hirasi. Takashi then battled his way out of an Ankle-Lock attempt before getting the tag into Oda Yamawaki.

ShimiKuma plus one were unable to wrestle back control after that, with a fresh Tokyo Wrecking Crew being too much for them to handle. In the end it was Hirasi who would eat the pin, after falling victim to the Sky Tree (Doomsday Device).

Result: Oda Yamawaki, Hiro Date [w] & Go Takashi bt Aki Shimizudani, Hirouchi Inokuma & Shiki Hirasi [L] in 12:18 via pinfall (Sky Tree)

Rating: 59

Takayuki Balls: This followed the usual formula for any S.H.I.P match involving Go Takashi. That formula being that Takashi gets in trouble, but shows fighting spirit and battles his way out of it....for now the formula seems to be going down pretty well but there will come when it gets stale.

<div style="text-align:center;">Match 3: Dark Wolf II vs HUSTLE Umiro

<a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=DarkWolfII.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_DarkWolfII.jpg</a> vs <a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=HUSTLEUmiro.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HUSTLEUmiro.jpg</a></div>

HUSTLE does break dancing at the start of the match, but Dark Wolf II is in no mood for the 'Ducker Divers' games and goes to level HUSTLE with a lariat, but HUSTLE ducks the lariat and comes back with one of his own. The Moe! Money! man then follows that up with the Money Suplex (Snap Suplex with theatrics).....

<div style="text-align:center;">http://www.giantrobot.com/wp-media-uploads/yen-dollar.jpeg

MONEY!</div>

That saw Dark Wolf II go out for a powder, only to be taken down with a flying double axe handle from HUSTLE. A neckbreaker from HUSTLE then bought a two count, before he headed up top but 'Howling Fury' managed to cause the 'Ducker Diver' to get crotched on the top-rope.

Dark Wolf II then seized control with a superplex and then got two counts with a German Suplex Hold and the Wolf's Rain (Diving Elbow Drop). HUSTLE however was able to move out of the way of the Wolf's Call (Sliding Lariat Pin) and almost nabbed victory with the Out-Hustled (Backslide Pin) but Dark Wolf was able to power out at two and a half.

'Howling Fury' quickly seized back control with a lariat and then a powerbomb for a two count, before locking on Holo's Dream (Three Quarter Nelson Choke).....HUSTLE showed fighting spirit by trying to make it the to the ropes but in the end referee Ochida saw no other choice but to call for the bell.

Result: Dark Wolf II [w] bt HUSTLE Umiro [L] in 10:39 via submission (Holo's Dream)

Rating: 54

Takayuki Balls: A solid match between two midcarders, nothing more- nothing less. Going into this HUSTLE was more over with the fans, than Dark Wolf II had heat, but for long term plans I see Dark Wolf II as someone who could eventually break into the upper-card, where as HUSTLE's ceiling (especially with his current comedic gimmick) is the midcard.

<div style="text-align:center;">Match 4: Incognito vs Meido Machine

<a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=Incognito.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Incognito.jpg</a> vs <a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=MeidoMachine.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_MeidoMachine.jpg</a></div>

When the bell rang, Meido immediately bailed to the floor and then re-emerged with a cup of latte coffee. Incognito looked ready to knock Meido's block off, but for some reason stopped when the 'World's Most Dangerous Otaku' produced a bottle of squeezy chocolate.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTg-ZzVXOTMVXiskn5-70H3-YcOIzUknVAUt4G4xnH6E2NkpdVUDw</div>

'El Pesadilla Hermosa' seemed entranced by the Meido doing 'latte art' of a cat face on the cup of coffee. That was until Incognito suddenly snapped out of the trance and drop-kicked the coffee into Meido's face. But doing that made the 'World's Most Dangerous Otaku' go into some kind of berserk mode...with Incognito taken by surprise from a vicious onslaught of knee and elbow strikes from the cross dresser.

Meido then drilled a shell-shocked Incognito with a brainbuster for a two count, before heading up top. But Meido couldn't resist doing the Meido- Beam call and that allowed for Incognito to cut him off and bring him crashing back in with a hurracanrana.

Incognito then got a two count with a La Magistral Cradle, before drilling Meido with a Tornado DDT and immediately transitioning into the Sueno Permanente (Sleeper Hold) but the 'World's Most Dangerous Otaku' showed resillience by working his way out of the submission, and then countered with a leg hook belly to back suplex for a two count.

Meido then floated into the Nyan Lock (Keylock) but ring positioning was in Incognito's favour, and 'El Pesadilla Hermosa' was able to reach the ropes. Incognito then seized back control with a spinning heel kick, before snapping off a spinning head-scissors that sent Meido to the floor..Incognito followed that up with a Tornado DDT off the apron, before pitching Meido back into the ring.

Incognito then headed up top again and came crashing down upon Meido with the Susurro De La Muerte (630 Senton) to secure what was a probably harder than expected victory.

Result: Incognito [w] bt Meido Machine [L] in 10:57 via pinfall (Susurro De La Muerte)

Rating: 73

Takayuki Balls: That turned out to be a really entertaining match....Meido certainly showed that beyond the comedic gimmick, there is actually a very solid worker. Incognito for all his egotisical attitude, is of course a great talent too and he certainly played his part in making this match the 'sleeper' hit of the night.

<div style="text-align:center;">___________________________________________________________________

Match 5: Sairento vs Xtinction

<a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=Sairento.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Sairento.jpg</a> vs <a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=Xtinction.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Xtinction.jpg</a></div>

Xtinction takes a leaf out of the Kuro playbook and jumps Sairento on the entrance ramp. 'Silent Reaper' quickly shakes off the attack but Xtinction continues to destabilize the Kuro-Leader with a hit and run strategy (nailing Sairento with quick kicks and then bailing from harms way).

A frustrated Sairento is then levelled with a missile drop-kick from Xtinction for a two count. 'Everbody's Shadow' heads up top again but this time is cut off by Sairento, who sends the mystery man crashing back in with an Avalanche Death Valley Driver.

Xtinction however manages to bail to the floor again, before Sairento can make the cover. 'Silent Reaper' then tries to bring Xtinction back in, but gets out-heeled as Xtinction sneaks in a low blow and then drills Sairento with a DDT out on the floor.

Xtinction then tried to get the cheap count out win, but Sairento was able to beat the count. Xtinction tried to bail from the ring again but was levelled with a Yakuza Kick and then drilled with Brainbuster for a two count. Sairento then nailed Xtinction with the Kuro-Stomp (Surfboard Curb Stomp) for another two count, before whipping 'Everybody's Shadow' into the corner and delivering a face-wash.....

Only for Xtinction to bail under the bottom rope on the final running punt, and stagger Sairento with a Gamengiri......

Xtinction then staggered up top and then planted Sairento with a somewhat sloppy Tornado DDT.....

Sairento kicked out emphatically at one and then nailed Xtinction with another Yazuka Kick, before planting 'Everybody's Shadow' with a Death Valley Driver for a two count. Sairento then locked Xtinction into the Silence (Pentagram Choke) eventually forcing a choke-out victory.

Result: Sairento [w] bt Xtinction [L] in 9:38 via submission (Silence)

Rating: 70

Takayuki Balls: A full blown heel vs heel match, is certainly something a bit different but the story they told here was actually quite a smart one, because the only way Xtinction was even going to have a chance of winning was by being underhanded, and for a while his tactics were at least able to convince the fans that he had Sairento slighly flustered.

<div style="text-align:center;">_____________________________________________________________

</div>

The Guardians trio started the match stronger, with Ebisawa almost grabbing victory early on when he planted Terajima with the Ebisawa Complex (Swinging Side Slam Backbreaker) only for Chojiro Ono to make the save and then level him with a clothesline from behind, whilst GUSHIKEN got in cheap shots on both Minamoto and Talisman.

The Kuro trio were then able to isolate Ebisawa in their corner for an extended period, methodically dishing out punishment , whilst taunting Minamoto and Talisman into the ring to try and save their tag partner.

However the Kuro trio's arrogance at not putting Ebisawa away quickly and efficiently, eventually came to bite them and Ebisawa showed great fighting spirit by taking out both halves of the UNK, with consecutive Dozer's (Spears) before collapsing to the mat.

Terajima however was able to prevent Ebisawa from tagging out with a Black Box Shot, only to have the Black Box drop-kicked into his face with a springboard drop-kick from Talisman. Ebisawa then got the tag to Minamoto, who planted the 'Cloaked Assassin' with the Gurugu Mawaru (Airplane Spin Samoan Drop).....

Only for GUSHIKEN to make the save. The match then chaotically broke down with a mass brawl in the middle of the ring...eventually the actioned spilled to the floor, with Talisman climbing up top and taking everyone out, be it enemy or ally with a Shooting Star Press to the floor!

When things settled down it was Talisman up against GUSHIKEN in the middle of the ring, Talisman managed to use his speed to keep GUSHIKEN off balance and almost nabbed the win with the God Knows (Spinning Headscissors into a Crucifix Pin), but 'Great Thunder' was able to power out and took control with a GUSHIKEN SMASH (Charging Elbow Smash) before planting Talisman with the GUSHIKEN Firebomb (Thunder Fire Powerbomb).....

Ebisawa made the save and then ducked a GUSHIKEN Smash, before nailing GUSHIKEN with the Dozer (Spear).....'Forceful Dagger' was then levelled with a lariat from Chojiro Ono, who then followed up with the Tsunami (Big Splash)......

That looked to be getting the three count for the Kuro team, but Eikichi Minamoto was able to match the last ditch save. The UNK however were able to quickly seize back control, only for a recovered Talisman to hit a springboard drop-kick on Chojiro Ono. Minamoto then worked with a recovered Ebisawa to take down GUSHIKEN with a double team snap suplex. Meanwhile Talisman followed up his springboard drop-kick on Ono with a Tornado DDT.

Ebisawa then tied GUSHIKEN up into the Okinawan Crab (Reverse Boston Crab), and though Terajima was able to desperately make the save, he was quickly intercepted by Minamoto, who drilled the 'Cloaked Assassin' with the Ode to Eri (Cradle Brainbuster) and with both of the UNK neutralised, that was enough for the Guardians trio to secure the victory.

Result: Eikichi Minamoto [w], Talisman & Taheji Ebisawa bt GUSHIKEN, Chojiro Ono & Soh Terajima [L] in 13:57.

Rating: 66

Takayuki Balls: Not a bad match, but not exactly the best semi main event in DIASPORA history either and to be honest I was expecting it to be. To be honest the main issue, I had with this match is that is got a little too hectic at the end....as though the referee stopped caring at all who the legal man was. Now I know that probably ends up happening in about 90% of DIASPORA's matches, given that most matches generally head towards finisher overdrive towards the end...but it was just really noticeable here.

After the match New Solution come out to the ring and they have something to say......

Zodiac who had been at ringside in the last match as a 'second' then slid into the ring.....

Zodiac: Talisman, let them have what they want......

Shintaro Hideki: Do not mock us !

Zodiac: Oh I'm not mocking, you were great champions, and if we have to beat you to prove that we truly are better than you, then we will happily give you the re-match you deserve.

Kotei Yamato: We don't wait around for that re-match either......

Zodiac: Neither do we, lets settle this next week.......

Bunkyo Hall!

Shintaro Hideki: That's fine with us, be prepared to be the shortest reigning champions in DIASPORA history.

Talisman: Keep dreaming......at Bunkyo Hall, we will prove that we are the top team in DIASPORA!

Rating: 68

Takayuki Balls: None of these lot, are exactly inspiring on the mic, in fact it's an epidemic across the whole DIASPORA roster......but their collective popularity kept the crowd interested in the segment and they seemed generally excited about the prospect of a Junior Tag Title match between these two teams....despite the fact that it was going to be in Tokyo. Apart from Mio-Mio, I'd very much doubt any of these Kansai natives would be turning up at that show.

The early portion of this main event six man tag had several back and forth exchanges, with neither side really able to take control....perhaps playing it a little too cautious, wary of the ability of their opponents.

Prime Dragon seemed to make the first real break-through nailing Hideki with a Rolling Wheel Kick and then taking a risk by going for the Dragonsault (Springboard Moonsault) but it proved to be a risk that was little too hasty as Hideki got his knees up and then planted Dragon with a Beetle-Driver (Double Underhook Powerbomb) for a two count.

Hideki then turn things over to Koto Arato, but the Super Junior Champion was able to duck an Arato Lariat but was then nailed with a springboard drop-kick from Hiroto Nori. Arato then followed up with a German Suplex, but Dragon showed the resillience that saw him retain his the Super Junior Championship against Sairento by kicking out at two.

The 'Grand Pillar' was still in big trouble however, and was planted with a double reverse STO from Hideki and Nori, before being subjected to stereo low super-kicks, just as he was trying to get back to his feet......

One.....

Two.....

Thr.....

Zodiac seeing that the situation was desperate intervened....

Things then broke down with all six men brawling in the middle of the ring, as referee Sugimura tried desperately to bring things under control. It was the Guardians trio who would seize control however, managing to snare their three S.H.I.P opponents in a trio of submission holds with Prime Dragon placing Nori in the Dragon's Bite (Inverted Facelock Sleeper), Zodiac locking the Twelve Signs (Cross Face/Cloverleaf combination) and Hyotaru Ichigawa placing the Cross-Arm Breaker upon Koto Arato...the very move that he forced Arato to tap out to at Neon Genesis Evolution.

But Arato gritted through the agonizing pain, and managed to lift Ichigawa up, forcing him to release the submission hold with a powerbomb before making the save for the other two. The S.H.I.P then turned things round, nailing their Guardians counterparts with a series to striking attacks, before turning the tables completely and locking on a trio of submissions themselves.

Nori slapped the Yakisoba (Tilt-A-Whirl Cross Arm Breaker) upon Prime Dragon, Hideki flipped Zodiac over with a Northern Lights suplex, before transitioning into the Hideki Special Cross Arm Bar, whilst Koto Arato ensnared Hyotaru Ichigawa in the Dreamland (Rear Naked Choke).....

But neither one of these combo's had the legal man trying to force the legal man on the other team to tap out, something referee Sugimura, realised ordering that the S.H.I.P release the holds.

When the match settled back into some sort of order, a worn down Ichigawa found himself being worked over by the S.H.I.P trio, whilst his stable mates Dragon and Zodiac tried to shake off the agonizing effects of the Yakisoba and Hideki Special....trying desperately to shake the feeling back into their arms.

Arato and Hideki then combined to plant Ichigawa with a Keiyakusha (Superkick assisted, German Suplex Hold), the move that has brought so many victories to the team Hideki is one half of 'New Solution'......

One.......

Two.....

Thr......

It looked to be all over but Zodiac was able to break into the ring to make the last ditch save, but S.H.I.P remained in control, with Arato pitching 'Innovations God' out to the floor. The Heavyweight Champion remained planted to the canvas, and Nori had headed up top......

The S.H.I.P leader came crashing down upon Ichigawa with the Flying Bonito (Sky Twister Press) but White Light' had just enough wits left to get the knees up just in time, winding Nori in the process.

Hideki and Arato then went to combine with the Keiyakusha again, but Ichigawa managed to slip out of Arato's waistlock and Hideki ended up accidently nailing Arato with a superkick....... Ichigawa then nailed 'Integral Prowess' with the Decaptitator (Bicycle Kick) before getting the tag to Prime Dragon......

Prime Dragon then nailed Hideki with a Palm Strike, before drilling the former Junior Tag champion with the Prime Driver (Over The Shoulder Belly to Back Piledriver).......

One....

Two....

Thr.....

Nori was able to make the save and then peppered Dragon with the Endless Nori (Flurry of Kicks)....before going for the pin.....but referee Sugimura waved him off as not being the legal man.....

'Battle' then got himself legally tagged in, but was taken by surprise with a rolling wheel kick from the Super Junior Champion .......a move that left the 'Grand Pillar' with enough time to get the tag into Zodiac......

'Innovations God' took down Nori with a springboard headscissor take-down, before following up with a leg lariat and then a Zodiac Sniper (Sunset Flip Powerbomb).....

One......

Two.......

Thr......

Nori managed to kick out, but any chance of a rally was quickly cut off with a basement drop-kick to the face by Zodiac. Zodiac then whipped Nori into the Guardians corner, deliberately looking to slow the pace down, whilst putting The Guardians firmly in control.

Ichigawa and Zodiac then combined on a Springboard drop-kick/Dragon Suplex combo on Nori.....

One.....

Two.......

Thr.......

Nori managed to kick out...color commentator Tadashi Saga, somewhat sarcastically noting that Nori may have taken inspiration from the 'encouragement' of his number one fan....the scarily obsessed bishojo female that attends every show.

Nori was still in danger however as Prime Dragon then came crashing down upon Nori with the Dragonsault (Springboard Moonsault)......

One......

Two.....

The obsessive female fan screamed at Nori....'Come on Nori-chan, get up.....GET UP!'

Thr......

Once again, Nori was able to burst into life just in time and kick out.....

Nori was running on 'empty' though and Prime Dragon looked set to finish things off with a Prime Driver, but all of a sudden Nori found a burst of fighting spirit and countered the Prime Driver attempt into a Reverse STO.......

Dragon was back to his feet but Nori then landed a high-kick to the head and both collapsed to the canvas..............

Dragon nearer to his side of the ring, was able to tag out first and Ichigawa was able to prevent Nori from being able to tag out, but Nori managed to nail Ichigawa with an Enziguri....before finally getting the tag out to Shintaro Hideki.....

Hideki nailed the Heavyweight Champion with a dropkick and then followed up with a Superkick......

One......

Two.......

Thr.......

Ichigawa kicked out, but was quickly nailed with another Superkick, before Hideki then set up for the Shiranui (Backflip Inverted DDT), but Ichigawa was able to block the attempt, before crotching Hideki onto the top turnbuckle......

Ichigawa then attempted to bring Hideki crashing back in with an Avalanche Dragon Suplex! but 'Integral Prowess' managed to fight Ichigawa off with a series of back elbows, before going for a Moonsault Press....only to be caught in mid-flight and then drilled into the canvas with the Chugoku Spike (Cradle Piledriver).....

One.......

Two.......

Thr........

Arato was able to make the last ditch save, dragging Ichigawa off Hideki and then dumping 'White Light' with the Gotch Suplex (Dead Lift German Suplex)........

'Strong Dreamer' got himself legally tagged back into the match, levelling Ichigawa with an Arato-Lariat before dumping the Heavyweight Champion with the Arato-Suplex ( Half Nelson Choke Suplex)........

One......

Two......

Thr........

But Ichigawa once again showed the fighting spirit, that frustrated Arato during their title match at Neon Genesis Evolution......

But Arato remained in control, placing the Dreamland (Rear-Naked Choke) upon Ichigawa.

'White Light' looked as though he was about to be put to sleep, but Zodiac came to the rescue in spectacular style, forcing Arato to release the submission hold with the 'Another Universe' (Springboard 450 Splash).......

Zodiac then took Arato off balance with a spinning headscissors take-down, before nailing 'Strong Dreamer' with a drop-kick and then the Escaflowne (Tilt-A-Whirl Crucifix Bomb Pin)......Zodiac realised he was not the legal man however and got himself tagged in, before heading up top.....

But Arato had recovered back to his feet and Zodiac was cut off from taking flight.....only to drill 'Strong Dreamer' with a Tornado DDT.........

Zodiac then sent Arato dizzy once again with another Tilt-A-Whirl this time transitioning into the Flame Haze (Crucifix Arm Bar)......

Arato looked to be in absolute agony, probably still feeling the effects of the Cross Arm Breaker's from his nemesis Ichigawa.....

Hideki and Nori tried to come in to make the save but Ichigawa and Dragon were able to cut them off......

It was down to Arato to try and find a way out of the painful submission.....

Zodiac however was dogged in his application of the Flame Haze.......

Arato in absolute agony, saw no other choice but to tap out. Victory on this occassion secured for The Guardians.....who right now despite the best efforts of S.H.I.P and the desperate methods of Kuro-Nadeshiko look to be the faction with the most momentum right now within DIASPORA.

Result: Hyotaru Ichigawa, Prime Dragon & Zodiac [w] bt Koto Arato [L], Hideki Nori and Shintaro Hideki in 25:02 via submission (Flame Haze)

Rating: 81

Takayuki Balls: With an admittedly 'weak' undercard (including the semi main) this show was reliant on a star studded main event delivering...thankfully it did, but what else would you expect. Junior Division/Openweight six man tags are perhaps what DIASPORA does best and this match was no exception. The match was paced really well here, with a rollercoaster like flow and the finish made sense....with the freshest man by the end of the match being the most effective (Zodiac) and Arato forced to tap out to a submission that targets the arm.

Post Match Comments:

Prime Dragon: The Guardians are on top, and that is where we shall remain. Kuro are weak and S.H.I.P will always be second best.

Hyotaru Ichigawa: I sit here happy that The Guardians are in such a strong position right now, but I am disappointed in the lack of competition for my title.....I sit here pondering where the next challenge will come from.

Zodiac: I'm riding high right now, one half of the Junior Tag Team champion and I just made Koto Arato tap out, I'm feeling unstoppable.....I know I'm not invicible, but right now that's just how I feel!

Hiroto Nori: Guardians gloat all you like for now, but the war is not over....S.H.I.P can see that whilst you are more honorable than Kuro, you are also arrogant and that such arrogance needs to he brought down.

Shintaro Hideki: Yes everything is riding high for you right now Zodiac, but you will wake-up from your 'dream' when reality hits next week and myself and Yamato-san take back OUR Junior Tag Team belts.

Koto Arato: Right now, I will admit that I am in a low spot...failure to win back the Heavyweight Championship and forced to tap out to a man half my size..... a man I should not be tapping out to. But it's clear to me and its clear to anyone I face, that I have a weakness....it's a weakness I need to counteract, in order to not only become better but in order to show that I am deserving of being a champion once again.

<div style="text-align:center;">_____________________________________________________________

Overall: 76</div>

Takayuki's Final Verdict: Though we were relying on one match to truly deliver, in the end this ended up being a pretty solid show. Sometimes a non-flashy but decent undercard and a great main event, is all you need to satisfy the punters.

Lo-Drew · June 2, 2012

Solid show as always and on another note, I can't believe I didn't comment on the Dragon Gate reference from the The Dotonbori Summit write-up from last week. Being one of the biggest DG marks, found that to be awesome!

Now I don't mess around with Twitter, can't be bothered with all that social networking nonsense. But Zodiac showed me a message from Zodiac on his i-phone....

<div style="text-align:center;"> http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRFWWMO4CLI6X8_t_UARiz8tv0D4HkF2u4ERhnAhm4I1eu2GgkR7w<a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=Sairento.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Sairento.jpg</a> http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSFBRpoiIaOmnuWk6B1oM-T3oqcqx3if8fGhFKLM9eQWr8FExzj</div>

#DIASPORA needs Sairento, I carry DIASPORA.... it be dead without me.

The message was from Sairento himself, and as far as I could see...he was saying that he was 'carrying' DIASPORA single handed, never mind the rest of the roster busting their asses, night in, night out....even if some of them admittedly ain't on his talent level.

I wondered if having someone as out for himself as Sairento on our books, was more trouble than it's worth....I mean as talented as he is, guy can't 'sell' , or more to the point he's so wrapped up in making himself look like some unstoppable bad-ass, that he refuses to sell. I mean both of his big matches with Nori-san and Dragon-san could have been better......And here he was boasting on twitter, how he's the be all and end all of DIASPORA.

Zodiac could see, I was little miffed at the message......

'Look I know Sairento can be a little off sometimes'

A little off?- As far as I was concerned he was 'off' most of the time...off in a land of his own self importance

'But what you got to remember is that he IS a star, he generates legitimate heat....he's someone for the fans to truly rally against and in doing so, he makes the cheers for the 'good guys' like me that much stronger'

I knew that already, but there was another thing about Sairento, that really bothered me his anti-social attitude......

'Look it's best to just let Sairento be, he's odd for sure but what you've got to remember is that he has invested in DIASPORA just like me......'

And that may well be part of the problem, if an ego like Sairento has a stake in a company, it's only going to cause problems

'Look we know Sairento, we know he ain't exactly a team player, but what he brings to the table more than outweighs the negatives....you'll learn that soon enough'

I just hope that in the long-run what Zodiac turns out to be saying is correct and Sairento doesn't end up becoming a locker-room cancer we can't control.

<div style="text-align:left;">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/DIASPORA_Banner-1.jpg</div> The second half of DIASPORA's Full Metal Panic Tour! double header in Kansai, will be on at the Hyogo Prefectural Gymnasium in Kobe on Thursday 2nd February 2012..... S.H.I.P and Kuro Nadeshiko go to war with each other in an all Junior Division Six Man tag in the main event. With The Guardians riding high right now both factions will be desperate to show they are not a spent force and that they are in position to strike back in their quest to be the top dogs. Faction leaders Sairento and Hiroto Nori, lead four of their most trusted troops into battle, the Junior Division tag teams of IMPERIOUS (Tian Long & Incognito) and New Solution (Kotei Yamato and Shintaro Hideki) respectively. The semi main event see's single's heavyweight action, as one half each of the current All Asia Tag team champs The Tokyo Wrecking Crew and Kuro-Nadeshiko's Udon Noodle Killers go one on one, with Hiro Date battling with GUSHIKEN. The TWC and UNK's title match at Neon Genesis Evolution ended in a chaotic no contest, and this singles match between one half of each team, promises to be similarly intense. Kuro Nadeshiko and Guardians face off in openweight tag action, with GUSHIKEN's UNK partner Chojiro Ono teaming up with Dark Wolf II to take on the Heavyweight Champion Hyotaru Ichigawa and one half of the Junior Tag champs Zodiac. Whilst the other half of the Guardians quartet of champions, Super Junior Champion Prime Dragon and Junior Tag Champ Talisman are faced with the rather 'different' challenge of taking on the oddball duo of MOE! MONEY! ; Meido Machine and HUSTLE Umiro. Further tag action will be provided from the Heavyweight division with The Guardians Eikichi Minamoto and Kan Mitsubishi up against the S.H.I.P pairing of Koto Arato and Go Takashi, whilst singles action from Heavyweight division rounds out the main show card with All Asia Tag champ Oda Yamawaki up against Shiki Hirasi and Guardians member Taheji Ebisawa up agains the gajiin loner Hunter Wolfe. Bonus pre-show action comes from the Junior Division with Kuro's Soh Terajima taking on Xtinction. Here is a run-down of the full card for Show 11 of the the Full Metal Panic!

Zergon · June 2, 2012

Sairento, Tian Long & Incognito vs Hiroto Nori, Kotei Yamato & Shiki Hirasi

Hard one but with S.H.I.P losing the last main event I go with them winning this one plus I feel that the S.H.I.P trio might well be next cahllengers for tag and junior belts.

GUSHIKEN vs Hiro Date

I think that GUSHIKEN needs this singles win more.

Chojiro Ono & Dark Wolf II vs Hyotaru Ichigawa & Zodiac

Wolf might had gone over HUSTLE but this time he´s opponents are just too big names.

Prime Dragon & Talisman vs MOE! MONEY! (Meido & HUSTLE)

Don´t see Prime Dragon losing this one wven without partner.

Eikichi Minamoto & Kan Mitsubishi vs Koto Arato & Go Takashi

Tough one but I go with Arato who culd use the win after two tough losses.

Oda Yamawaki vs Shiki Hirasi

Tag champ over jobber.

Taheji Ebisawa vs Hunter Wolfe

Ebisawa is doing more right now.

Soh Terajima vs Xtinction

Terajima might be Kuro´s job guy but he´s still more important than Xtinction.

Tiberious · June 2, 2012

In my game Sairento boasted he was carrying the company while the article below him talked about how Diaspora was in unsalvagable debt and going out of business. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Predictions Form

Sairento, Tian Long & Incognito vs Hiroto Nori, Kotei Yamato & Shiki Hirasi

Shiki Hirasi? This is a typo right? It's supposed to say Shintaro Hideki? I've learned never to pick a team with "Shiny Dagger" on it. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

GUSHIKEN vs Hiro Date

Going for a rare draw here. They drew once in the tag title match, so I could see it happening again here.

Chojiro Ono & Dark Wolf II vs Hyotaru Ichigawa & Zodiac

Neither Ono or Wolf seem like true contenders for either of their opponents belts, so champs stay strong.

Prime Dragon & Talisman vs MOE! MONEY! (Meido & HUSTLE)

No question here.

Eikichi Minamoto & Kan Mitsubishi vs Koto Arato & Go Takashi

This is kind of tough because I think Minamoto deserves a shot at Ichigawa's title, but I see his partner as being the weak link here. I think this is the match where Takashi can show he's not just a punching bag with a win over the guardian pair.

Oda Yamawaki vs Shiki Hirasi

Squash.

Taheji Ebisawa vs Hunter Wolfe

Also Squash.

Soh Terajima vs Xtinction

Purely on stats Xtinction might have the advantage, but it's already been fairly established he's a jobber.

Infernalmiko · June 4, 2012

Sorry, back from a break.

Result: Kan Mitsubishi [w] bt Hunter Wolfe [L] in 5:47 via pinfall (Mitsubishi Power Punch)

No shocks here. Though I keep hoping hunter picks up a win.

Result: Tian Long [w] & Blood Spider Jr bt Kohe Hidaka & Yachi Kotara [L] in 9:48 via submission (Dynasty Lock)

Mr. Protected helps Spider get his first win, so it's a worthy cause.

Result: Oda Yamawaki, Hiro Date [w] & Go Takashi bt Aki Shimizudani, Hirouchi Inokuma & Shiki Hirasi [L] in 12:18 via pinfall (Sky Tree)

Hopefully by the time his fighting spirit trick is stale he's ready to move beyond that to kicking butt.

Result: Dark Wolf II [w] bt HUSTLE Umiro [L] in 10:39 via submission (Holo's Dream)

This match really is all about potential. The notes sum it up pretty well. Dark Wolf can be a real talent. HUSTLE is comedy. But I'm someone who loves to look for rising stars in my game and has to resist the urge to push them too much.

Result: Incognito [w] bt Meido Machine [L] in 10:57 via pinfall (Susurro De La Muerte)

Cat face? Hasn't he heard of Hello Kitty?? I knew you'd get some material out of the maid cafes;) I'm amazed at the rating for this match. I wonder if Incognito worked his butt off or Meido actually does have talent. The notes seem to come down on the side of Maid Man having a future in the promotion. At least we can see more cat faces:)

Result: Sairento [w] bt Xtinction [L] in 9:38 via submission (Silence)

The write up for this was longer than I expected. It could have gone 'Sairento refuses to sell anything and destroys Xtinction.' I wonder how long before Sairento challenges PD to a 'I quit' match, relying on the fact he doesn't talk to win.

Result: Eikichi Minamoto [w], Talisman & Taheji Ebisawa bt GUSHIKEN, Chojiro Ono & Soh Terajima [L] in 13:57.

I know it turned into a cluster, but still it's surprising to me that this match had a lower rating than some of the one's before it.

Result: Hyotaru Ichigawa, Prime Dragon & Zodiac [w] bt Koto Arato [L], Hideki Nori and Shintaro Hideki in 25:02 via submission (Flame Haze)

This match got the full Tiger write up and deservedly so. I'll tease Arato alot but he is class. I'd love to see Nori win more, but there was no way PD, Ichygawa and Zodiac were losing.

The obsessive female fan screamed at Nori....'Come on Nori-chan, get up.....GET UP!'

"Get up or I'll kill Dragon!" Hi Mio!

Koto Arato: But it's clear to me and its clear to anyone I face, that I have a weakness....

"I'm a *sob* twinkie junkie. I can't resist the creamy white filling." Once Arato quits trying to put the Heavy into Heavyweight, he may do better.

The main event saved your rear for the overall rating.<img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Infernalmiko · June 4, 2012

Sairento, Tian Long & Incognito vs Hiroto Nori, Kotei Yamato & Shiki Hirasi

It kills me to go against Nori again. I want to win, for his sake. Mio may snap if he keeps losing.

GUSHIKEN vs Hiro Date

I changed my vote on this a couple of times. I just think Gushy needs it more.

Chojiro Ono & Dark Wolf II vs Hyotaru Ichigawa & Zodiac

No way the singles and tag champs lose this.

Prime Dragon & Talisman vs MOE! MONEY! (Meido & HUSTLE)

I'm curious to see the rating on this match though.

Eikichi Minamoto & Kan Mitsubishi vs Koto Arato & Go Takashi

Arato needs the win. And a good diet plan.

Oda Yamawaki vs Shiki Hirasi

Taheji Ebisawa vs Hunter Wolfe

Ebisawa, who's been on the winning side against Sickly Wolfe. Easy pick and probably the sushi match of the night.

Soh Terajima vs Xtinction

Soh needs the win to stay relevant, and Mr. X is a jobber.

Full Metal Panic! Tour - Show 11

Thursday 2nd February 2012,

Hyogo Prefectural Gymnasium, Kobe, Hyogo, Kansai (1,939- No Vacancy)

Match 0: Soh Terajima vs Xtinction

Xtinction got the early upper hand sneak attacking Terajima before he had entered the ring, 'Everybody's Shadow' got a two count off a moonsault but Terajima was able to block an X.L.E (Tilt-A-Whirl DDT) attempt before countering with a slingshot suplex.

Terajima then shoved Xtinction to the floor and managed to sneak in a Black Box attack. Pitching the dazed Xtinction back into the ring the ring, he went for Easter Misery (Forward Russian Legweep) but it was blocked by the mystery man, who countered with a legsweep of his own.

'Everbody's Shadow' then decided to head up top again, but lost his footing on the top turbuckle, allowing Terajima to recover and bring Xtinction crashing back in with the Soh The Seeds of Tera (Forward Somersault Jawbreaker) to secure the win.

Result: Soh Terajima [w] bt Xtinction [L] in 6:57 via pinfall (Soh The Seeds of Tera)

Rating: 42

Takayuki Balls: The likes of Terajima and Xtinction can be carried to a decent match, if they're in there with decent talent....against one another though, not so much. Try as they might, this ended up being pretty sloppy, a fact highlighted by the finish. The idea was for Terajima to do the cliched thing of staggering into the ropes, causing Xtinction to lose his balance, instead being the serial botch artist that he is Xtinction loses his balance anyway.

Main Show

Match 1: Taheji Ebisawa vs Hunter Wolfe

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_TaheijiEbisawa.jpg vs http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HunterWolfe.jpg

These two young heavweights kicked things off with some basic brawling, going toe to toe with another, neither one wanting to back down....until Wolfe gained the upper hand by raking Ebisawa's eyes....something that brought a few feint jeers from the crowd.

Wolfe had the upper hand for the next few minutes, getting a close two count with an X-PLODER supex before nailing Ebisawa with the Hunting Strike (Discus Elbow Strike) only for Ebisawa to kick out again much to 'Ronin Thunder's' frustration.

In fact Wolfe was so frustrated, that he got up in referee Ochida's face over what he perceived to be a three count. That proved to be a big mistake as he turned right round in a Dozer (Spear) by Ebisawa.

Wolfe avoided being pinned by rolling out of the ring and going for a powder, Ebisawa then gave chase but was blindsided with a cheap shot from Wolfe. Back in the ring Wolfe looked to be setting up for the Redemption Bomb (Sitout Powerbomb) but Ebisawa was able to block the attempt and countered with a back body drop. Ebisawa then took control with a clothesline before planting 'Ronin Thunder' with the Ebisawa Complex ( Swinging Side Slam Backbreaker)......

Wolfe kicked out, but he kicked out a fraction too late, referee Ochida's hand having already slapped the mat for a third time...causing Wolfe to bang the mat in frustration at yet another loss.

Result: Taheji Ebisawa [w] bt Hunter Wolfe [L] in 7:58 via pinfall (Ebisawa Complex)

Rating: 49

Takayuki Balls: Lets be honest here, the crowd probably cared less about this than Terajima-Xtinction, but I just wanted to throw Wolfe something of a bone and at least get him a 'competitive' match on the main show. Right now, we're sort of doing the frustrated 'can't catch a break' angle with him.....lets be honest that angle never gets anyone 'over' but it's a better use of his talent than him being squashed in under five minutes by an uppercarder.

Match 2: Oda Yamawaki vs Shiki Hirasi

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_OdaYamawaki.jpg vs http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_ShikiHirasi.jpg

This was pretty much one way traffic from start to finish, and there was no surprise that, apart from a few brief moments it was the All Asia Tag champ Yamawaki who was the one in control for much of the match.

Hirasi to his credit did show show fighting spirit, kicking out of several suplex variations from 'Fearless' and for a brief moment it looked like he had the opening to turn things round, catching Yamawaki off guard and slapping on the Ankle-Lock but Yamawaki shrugged it off, and then moments later put Hirasi down for good with the Tokyo Tower (Vertical Suplex Side Slam).

Result: Oda Yamawaki [w] bt Shiki Hirasi [L] in 6:38 via pinfall (Tokyo Tower)

Rating: 54

Takayuki Balls: This was what it was expected to be a squash, but it was effective enough for what it was with Hirasi doing a decent enough job of selling Yamawaki's dynamic offence.

Match 3: Eikichi Minamoto & Kan Mitsubishi vs

Koto Arato & Go Takashi

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_KotoArato.jpg & http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_GoTakashi.jpg

The match was pretty even until The Guardians pair were able to seize control and isolate Go Takashi in their corner. It looked to be all over when Minamoto set up for the Ode to Eri (Cradle Brainbuster) but Takashi had the move scouted from their match at Neon Genesis Evolution, blocking the move and then countering with a snap suplex. Minamoto got the tag out to Mitsubishi first however, but Takashi was able to duck a Power Punch attempt and got the tag into Koto Arato.

Arato levelled Mitsubishi with an Arato-Lariat, but clutched at his arm (obviously still feeling the effects of the Cross Arm Breaker and Flame Haze submission holds he had to endure in previous matches), that hesistation allowed for Mitsubishi to recover and nail Arato with the Power Punch. It looked as though Mitsubishi was about to score a huge upset but then Takashi made the save before planting Mitsubishi with a Headless Ride (Running Neckbreaker).

Arato then got himself tagged out to Takashi, who was then able to prevent Mitsubishi from doing the same to Minamoto. 'Nippon Hart' then nailed Mitsubishi with a rolling elbow, scooped 'Fist of Granite' upon his shoulders and then delivered the DRRR!!! (Wrist Clutch Death Valley Driver) to secure victory for the S.H.I.P duo.

Result: Koto Arato & Go Takashi [w] bt Eikichi Minamoto & Kan Mitsubishi [L] in 10:05 via pinfall (DRRR!!)

Rating: 66

Takayuki Balls: This turned out to be a pretty solid tag match, and Takashi got to show that he is more than a resillient punching bag. OK the pin was on The Guardians resident punching bag Mitsubishi, but a wins a win and it all helps towards him being perceived as being seen as more than a stable whipping boy.

Post Match Comments:

Koto Arato: Right there, just now Takashi-san showed why we believe in him, just why we let him join S.H.I.P, just why he has what it takes to one day be on the of the best.

Go Takashi: I will continue to do my best and one day my best will be good enough to see me become a champion.

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_MeidoMachine.jpg & http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HUSTLEUmiro.jpg

HUSTLE Umiro and Talisman started the match off, and they engaged in some chain wrestling that ends in an 'indie stand-off'.....That's when the match takes the expectedly bizarre turn you would expect from a contest involving MOE! MONEY!......

HUSTLE breaks out his break-dancing routine, only for Talisman to a routine of his own back. That doesn't go down well with HUSTLE who challenges Talisman to a Backspin duel, to see who can spin around for the longest amount of time.

http://csdt.rpi.edu/subcult/brdance/culture/images/backspin.jpg

Neither of them give an inch, until both are feeling so sick and dizzy that they HAVE to tag out.....

Thing is when Meido tags in, he immediately jumps back out to the floor and goes under the ring....Prime Dragon's throws his arms up in the air, pretty much gesturing 'what the hell?' ....

That's when the 'World Most Dangerous Otaku' emerges with a plate of Omurice and a bottle of ketchup.....Prime Dragon's had enough of this 'comedy' nonsense though and boots Meido in the mid-section, causing the plate of Omurice to spill out of Meido's hands.....

http://t2.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQkkuLhe-FbUGDAsQRHakWVF_8bCwn1t1OpHi4qttuo8ly63_hJ_Q

Thing is Dragon should have learned that Meido does not appreciate it when someone does not appreciate his 'Meido Service' and the 'World's Most Dangerous Otaku' goes into his berserk mode of knee and elbow strikes, it certainly catches the Super Junior Champion off guard and he is soon caught in the Nyan-Lock (Key-Lock)......

Luckily for Dragon, Talisman intervenes and makes the save, but the Junior Tag Champion is clotheslined to the floor by HUSTLE Umiro.....who then joins Meido in delivering a Double Team snap suplex....

MOE!

MONEY!

HUSTLE tags back in and then heads up top and lands the HUSTLE TO THE TOP (Diving Elbow Drop)........

It almost puts the Grand Pillar down for the count, but Dragon manages to just about kick out. HUSTLE then lifts Dragon back up to a vertical base, but all of a sudden the Super Junior champion came back to life, nailing the 'Ducker Diver' with a palm strikes and then drilling HUSTLE with a Brainbuster.....

That gave Dragon the opportunity to tag Talisman back in......

The Second Coming snapped off a spinning headscissors that sent HUSTLE out to the floor, and then followed up with a corkscrew tope....Prime Dragon then went to go for Dragonsault (Springboard Moonsault) to the floor, but was stopped in his tracks by Meido Machine, who squirted ketchup in his face.....

The 'World's Most Dangerous Otaku' then planted Dragon with a Fisherman Suplex for a two count, before heading up top......

Meido, shouted 'MEIDO BEAM!!' only to be nailed with an Enziguri from the apron by Talisman, a recovered Prime Dragon then sent Meido crashing back in with a hurracanrana, before Talsiman then came crashing down upon Meido with the Golden Idol (Shooting Star Press).....Dragon was able to hold HUSTLE off and the Guardians duo ended up with the expected but somewhat challenging victory.

Result: Prime Dragon & Talisman [w] bt Meido Machine [L] & HUSTLE Umiro via pinfall in 12:29 via pinfall (Golden Idol)

Rating: 64

Takayuki Balls: Moe Money's antics are always going to be a little bit divisive and I'm sure there will be some that will groan about how upper card talent like Dragon and Talisman shouldn't be reduced to such 'nonsense'.....Thing is they actually had a good time doing this sort of match and beyond the comedy, the in-ring action was actually to a good standard. That's the thing about Meido and HUSTLE they're gimmicks are goofy but they're no slouches when it comes to actual wrestling ability.

Post Match Comments:

The post match press try to get a word from the Guardians duo of Prime Dragon and Talisman, but they just sit there shaking their heads in disbelief and facepalming at the match they were just involved in.......

Meanwhile HUSTLE Umiro is trying to cheer up Meido......

HUSTLE Umiro: You'll get over it playa, they are like super good.....even I gotta admit that, though of course.....

Meido Machine: Shut Up Idiot!

HUSTLE Umiro: (Throwing up his arms) What the hell that for?

Meido broods for a bit and then suddenly screams out at HUSTLE

Meido Machine: No ONE !, NO ONE!, NO ONE! disses MY SERVICE!!!

HUSTLE Umiro: OK....whatever you say playa.

Meido Machine:......And I'm not a playa !!

Meido then storms off in a Tsundere like fashion.

Match 5: Dark Wolf II & Chojiro Ono vs

Zodiac & Hyotaru Ichigawa

vs

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Zodiac.jpg & http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HyotaruIchigawa.jpg

The Kuro pair tried to get an early jump, but the Guardians were ready for them and instead got the early jump themselves.....it all resulted in a chaotic brawl spilling out to the floor and Zodiac wiping everyone out with a corkscrew moonsault.

Zodiac pitched Dark Wolf II back into the ring, and got a two count with a Beetle Suplex (Tiger Suplex) before heading up top, only for a recovered Ono to show him off. Dark Wolf II saw an opportunity to lock on Holo's Dream (Three Quarter Nelson Choke) but Zodiac was too near the ropes and was able to 'save' himself before the submission hold could truly take effect.

The Kuro pair then worked over Zodiac in their corner, taunting Ichigawa to try and come in and save his tag partner. Zodiac showed great resillience though kicking out of a scoop powerslam from Ono and then the Wolf's Rain (Diving Elbow Drop)......

But it was clear Zodiac was getting worn down and that he would need something to break his way to be able to have a chance of turning things around. That break came when Ono went for the Tsunami (Big Splash)....a devastating move when it actually hits, but one that is too easily telegraphed to an opponent......

Zodiac was able to move out of the way and then scrambled up to a turnbuckle, before going for a Tornado DDT....Ono caught him in midflight though but Zodiac refused to be powerbombed, somehow making Ono stumble towards the ring ropes...'Innovations God' dropped onto the apron and stunned 'Epic Tsunami' with a jawbreaker, and then nailed Ono with a springboard drop-kick.

Zodiac had nothing left though and all he had in mind was to get the tag into a fired up Ichigawa.......

He manages to do just that, before a slow moving Ono could do the same himself......Ichigawa nailed Ono with the Decapitator (Running Bicycle Kick ) but the big man managed to shake it off as though it was 'nothing'......

The Heavyweight Champion kept his cool though, and nailed Ono with a second Decapitator....this time 'Epic Tsunami' crumbled to the mat and Ichigawa went for the cover........

Ono kicked out at two but soon found himself being subjected to the Cross-Arm Breaker.......

Luckily for Ono Dark Wolf II was able to intervene, as he came crashing down upon Ichigawa, with a Senton Bomb. 'Howling Fury' then proved to be enough of a distraction for Ono to level Ichigawa with a clothesline from behind.

Ono then whipped Ichigawa into the corner and hit a running splash before.....reeling 'White Light' in a for a Powerbomb......

That got a two count, but Ichigawa was in trouble and Ono set up for another powerbomb, this time it looked like he was going for the Okinawa Battle Bomb (Spinning Powerbomb) hiking Ichigawa up higher.....but the attempt was cut off by Zodiac who nailed Ono with a springboard leg lariat......

Ichigawa still got planted to the mat, but Ono was unable to follow up with a cover, distracted by Zodiac, who managed to keep Ono off balance with a Tilt-A-Whirl and then transitioning to the Flame Haze Crucifix Arm Bar......

Dark Wolf II was able to make the save, but then got nailed with a Decapitator (Running Bicycle Kick) from Ichigawa, who then delivered another one to a worn down Ono, Zodiac followed up with a corner dropkick, taking 'Epic Tsunami' out of the equation.

The Heavyweight Champion then turned his attention back to Dark Wolf II, before delivering the Chugoku Spike (Cradle Piledriver)....a worn down Ono unable to get up from his slumped position in the corner to save his partner from being down for the count of three.

Result: Hyotaru Ichigawa [w] & Zodiac bt Chojiro Ono & Dark Wolf II [L] in 12:57 via pinfall (Chugoku Spike)

Rating: 75

Takayuki Balls: Pretty entertaining tag match right here, wasn't sure what to expect with a real hodge podge of styles all working together but it did manage to come together. They also made good use of Ono's immobility compared to the others being a key weakness in the match...doing it in such a way not to make Ono look 'bad' but just highlighting it enough to help carve the story of the match around it.

Match 6: GUSHIKEN vs Hiro Date

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_GUSHIKEN.jpg vs http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HiroDate.jpg

Considering the way the match between the Tokyo Wrecking Crew and Udon Noodle Killers ended at Neon Genesis Evolution, it was no surprise to see them go right each other as soon as the bell rang, this was going to be an all out brawl. What GUSHIKEN had in a size and power advantage, Date was able to counter with dynamism. The pattern basically being that GUSHIKEN would land one solid shot, but Date would just about soak it up and then stagger 'Great Thunder' with a flurry.

This stale mate continued for several minutes, under Date really got a rally going and managed to topple the big man over the top-rope. 'Stampeding Bull' wasn't done though, climbing out onto the apron he rammed into GUSHIKEN with a flying shoulder tackle. Date then went to pitch GUSHIKEN back into the ring but was cut off with a low blow.....

GUSHIKEN then tossed Date against the ring-steps, before picking up a chair and bringing it down on the All Asia Tag Champion..... The big man knowing that such action would only draw a word of warning from referee Ochida, given DIASPORA's generally relaxed code when it came to such methods.

GUSHIKEN wasn't done he power-slammed Date onto the ring-steps and then climbed back into the ring, waiting for referee Ochida to make the twenty count.....

And it looked as though he may have done just enough to leave Date out for the count, but 'Stampeding Bull' wasn't going to give up that easily....crawling back into the ring just in time. GUSHIKEN was all over him like a rash though, bringing down a series of clubbing blows upon Date before reeling 'Stampeding Bull' into the Powerbomb position, but Date somehow held firm and then incredibly managed to muster up the strength to send the larger GUSHIKEN over with a back body drop.......

It seemed though he had used up all the energy he had left, immediately collapsing to the mat and despite just being planted on his back GUSHIKEN was up first........

'Great Thunder' waited for Date to stagger back up, before charging at the All Asia Tag Champion with GUSHIKEN Smash (Charging Elbow) but Date managed to side-step put of the way and then take GUSHIKEN off balance with a basement drop-kick.......

Date then completely took GUSHIKEN off his feet with a shoulder tackle. 'Stampeding Bull' had clearly found a second wind....as he climbed up to the second turnbuckle, before coming down upon GUSHIKEN with a diving knee drop......

That only got a two count, but it was enough to leave GUSHIKEN stunned enough to not be able to counter being turned over and placed into the Date With Pain (Elevated Boston Crab).......

Unfortunatelty for Date, GUSHIKEN was a hard man to keep down.....'Great Thunder Powered' his way out of the hold, and then seized back control with a flurry of clotheslines.....

GUSHIKEN then went straight into the GUSHIKEN series (Triple Rolling Suplexes)........

Date however managed to muster up another burst of fighting spirit....managing to pop up out of the third German suplex, force a standing switch and then dump GUSHIKEN with the Rejection II (Backdrop Suplex)......

Date was too worn down himself though, to hold onto the pin attempt......and with both of them sprawled out on the canvas referee Ochida began double count......

GUSHIKEN staggered back up first, but was then met with a basement drop-kick from Date....'Great Thunder' stayed on his feet, but Date had found let another reserve of 'Fighting Spirit' climbed up to the top and knocked GUSHIKEN over with a Flying Shoulder Tackle.......

Date then decided to go to the top-rope again, but GUSHIKEN managed to pull himself up off the mat and cut Date off, before lifting 'Stampeding Bull' off the top turbuckle into an Elevated 'Electric Chair' position........Date tried to fight his way out, but GUSHIKEN stood firm and sent Date crashing back onto the canvas with the GUSHIKEN Firebomb (Elevated Powerbomb)......

One........

Two......

Three

Date and put up a strong fight, but it wasn't enough on this occassion as GUSHIKEN emerged with the victory.

Result: GUSHIKEN [w] bt Hiro Date [L] in 14:49 via pinfall (GUSHIKEN Firebomb)

Rating: 77

Takayuki Balls: This was the no nonsense hard hitting heavyweight contest it promised to be...of course there was also that worry it could just degenerate into a chaotic unfocused brawl....thankfully they just teased that element at the start and once the match got into it's stride it was all about if Date's 'Fighting Spirit' would be enough to match GUSHIKEN's significant power advantage.

Post Match Comments:

GUSHIKEN: The Udon Noodle Killers are bigger and better than the Tokyo Wrecking Crew will ever be, we can take those All Asia Tag Titles from them any place, any time!

Match 7: Sairento, Tian Long & Incognito vs

Hiroto Nori, Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki

The first ten minutes or so of the match, saw both sides hold nothing back in terms of striking but it still felt cautious, as though they were holding back their heavy artillery until the other side made a vital mistake.

The breakthrough in the 'stalemate' was made when Nori nailed Incognito with a springboard drop-kick and then followed up with a brainbuster for a two count. At this stage it was only ever going to ger a two count, but more to the point it put S.H.I.P in control....

The S.H.I.P trio worked over Incognito in their corner with stiff kicks, before Yamato hung a dazed Incognito out over the top-rope....Hideki came crashing down with a double stomp, before both then lifted Incognito back up and Nori followed up with a senton......

One......

Two.....

Thr......

Tian Long came in to make the save but he was nailed with a Superkick from Hideki.... Yamato headed up top, and drop-kicked Long before crashing down upon Incognito with another Senton, as Nori stood guard.......

One.......

Referee Sugimura was pulled off by Soh Terajima and then thrown into the ring-steps

Those Two...Again!

Blood Spider Jr, then came in but before he could deliver a shot of Poison Mist he was dispatched with a Superkick from Hideki.........

The confusion and chaos caused by Kuro's inteference gameplan did work however, Long was able to sneak in a low blow on Yamato and then Sairento sneaked in and nailed both Hideki and Nori with Black Box shots, before delivering a brainbuster to Hideki, whilst Long then planted Yamato with a chokeslam, before sending New Solution out of the ring.....

When Sugimura came back to his senses, he must have forgotten that Kuro's actions were worthy of a DQ and all that was left in the ring was Incognito and a laid out Hideki Nori......

During the chaos Incognito had time to recover and he was able to tag out to Sairento. Unfortunately for Nori he wasn't close enough to his corner, and after being stomped on by the 'Silent Reaper' he was soon dragged over to the 'wrong part of town'.

The next bit came as a suprise to absolutely no one, the Kuro trio worked Nori over in their corner, subjecting him to being choked in the corner, a Kuro-Stomp from Sairento and a trio of facewashes from all three of the Kuro team.....

Nori wasn't going to give up, but he was being worn down and all New Solution could do was watch on in frustration, the occasionally protest about Kuro's method's only worsening the situation for Nori, by distracting referee Sugimura.....

And as had been pointed out at several other shows, there was someone else who definitely wasn't liking what they were witnessing, the female fan besotted with Nori was screaming at the Kuro trio to 'Stop doing that! stop doing that!...leave my Nori-chan alone' and 'Come on Nori-Chan, get up you have to fight, you have to fight ...for us!!'

The announcers really were pondering what the deal was with this fan, and how the hell she managed to get the camera fixed on every show. Surely now if she was just some over obsessive whack job, she would be escorted out of the building and banned from showing up at any more DIASPORA shows.

Back to the in-ring action and Nori tried to rally back, but each time he did he found the 'numbers game' too much to deal with. But as Tian Long went for a chokeslam, Nori somehow still had something left in the tank.....elbowing his way out of the predicament and then countering with a Nigiri Serving (Leaping Reverse STO)......

It was however all Nori had left and he collapsed to the mat, still too far away from his corner......

Incognito was tagged in and began to drag Nori back, but in fact Nori was completely 'done' nailing 'El Pesadilla Hermosa' with an Enziguri with his free leg and then following up with a drop-kick.......

The S.H.I.P leader collapsed to the mat again, and Incognito was able to get Sairento tagged in first, but with one last burst of energy Nori made it across to his corner and got Yamato tagged in.....

'Pin Point' ducked a lariat from Sairento and then nailed 'Silent Reaper' with a drop-kick...the Kuro leader shook it off but was then taken down with a springboard leg lariat/chop block combo from New Solution.

Yamato then lifted Sairento up and drilled 'Silent Reaper' with the Gurren Driver (Scoop Slam Piledriver)......

One......

Two.......

Thr.......

Sairento kicked out, but Yamato stayed focus, hooking Sairento's arms and then reigning in a series of knee strikes.....the flurry of strikes called the End Game......

Feeling that he had Sairento in a dazed enough state, Yamato then went for the cover......

One.......

Two......

Thr........

Tian Long concerned enough that Sairento might not kick out, dived in to make the save. Incognito then sneakily nailed Yamato with a Bala De Dios (Flying Spinning Heel Kick) to the back of the head.

That allowed Sairento to tag out, as the Kuro trio managed to regain control once again.......

But when IMPERIOUS went for the IMPERIAL combo (Spinning Heel kick assisted Backdrop suplex), Yamato was able to fight his way out and Incognito end up erroneously nailing Tian Long.

Yamato then took down Incognito with a leg-sweep before applying the Knightmare Frame (Bridging Cobra Clutch).......

Seeing that Incognito was in trouble both members of the Kuro team came back in to try and make the save, but Sairento was taken down with the Yakisoba (Tilt-A-Whirl Cross Arm Breaker) and Hideki was able to intercept Tian Long with the Hideki Special (Northern Lights Suplex flipped into a Cross Arm Bar).......

S.H.I.P had Kuro locked into a trio of submissions and the legal man Incognito looked to be on the verge of tapping out......

Sairento however managed to grit through the pain of the Yakisoba, lifting Nori up and then powerbombing him upon Shintaro Hideki........

Before stomping on Kotei Yamato....forcing him to release the Knightmare Frame, if he had been just a fraction of a second later, he would have been too late as Incognito was literally on the verge of tapping out.

Sairento then went to lift Yamato up, but was then nailed with high kick to the head by Nori, onyl for the S.H.I.P leader to get nailed with a Bala De Dios (Flying Spinning Heel Kick) from Incognito....and then planted with a Dragon Suplex from Tian Long........

By this stage referee Sugimura had lost all sense of who was the legal man and counted the pin.....

One....

Two....

Thr.........

Stereo low superkicks to the head of Tian Long from New Solution to break up the pin and save the match for S.H.I.P......

Yamato then applied a waistlock to Tian Long and then Hideki set up for another superkick.....KEIYASKUSHA!! (Superkick assisted German Suplex).......

One......

Two.......

Three

Sugimura wasn't counting though, several Kuro members had come up onto the apron, and like someone with a severe case of ADD he was distracted by their prescence......

This Old Fool, needs to keep his eye on the match

New Solution took matters into their own hands.....Yamato drop-kicking Blood Spider Jr off the apron and Hideki doing the same to Soh Terajima......

But the distraction allowed for Incognito and Sairento to sneak back in and club New Solution from behind.....Sairento drilled Hideki with a Brainbuster and then Incognito planted Yamato with the Incognito Driver (Snapmare Driver) before placing Tian Long upon Yamato's fallen form......

One........

Two.......

Thr........

Nori came in to make the save and then peppered Tian Long with the Endless Nori (kick flurry)........

Sairento and Incognito both re-entered to come in and make the save, but were intercepted by New Solution and sent to the floor with drop-kicks, before the former Junior Tag champs, followed up with stereo suicide dives!

Nori dragged Tian Long into position and then headed up top.........

But Kuro's regular annoyance Soh Terajima and his trusty Black Box was back up on the apron and about to strike.....only to get it superkicked into his face by Shintaro Hideki......

Unfortunately for S.H.I.P that other pest Blood Spider Jr was still around and Nori got a face full of Poison Mist.......

Tian Long recovered and sent Nori crashing back into the ring with a hurracanrana.......

The Imperial One then planted Nori with a chokeslam and decided to head up top......

Only to be cut off by Yamato, who sent him crashing back in with a superplex, only to then be drilled with a Tornado DDT from Incognito.......

But Hideki was back in to nail Incognito with a superkick and then follow that up with the Shiranui (Backflip Inverted DDT)........

One.........

Two......

Thr.......

Broken up with a diving double stomp from Sairento!

Silent Reaper then lifted Hideki up and delivered the Death Note (Spike Brainbuster)......

One.....

Two......

Thr........

Yamato made the save, but was soon clotheslined out of the ring by Sairento........

Right onto the side of the ring, where the Kuro members were..... And with Sugimura's eyes actually what was happening in the ring, they set upon Yamato like a pack of wolves....making sure he wouldn't be getting up anytime soon to make the save.....

Meanwhile Nori was still trying to regain his bearing after being subjected to Blood Spider Jr's Poison Mist, he staggered back up onto the apron but was then knocked off with a stiff elbow shot from Sairento.....

'Silent Reaper' was in total control......

Or maybe not, Hideki was back up and he nailed Sairento with a Superkick !!!

The Kuro leader appeared to shake it of and Hideki was stood frozen in shock, but then Sairento did go down and 'Integral Prowess' scrambled across to make the cover......

One.......

Two....

Thr......

That slight hesitation to make the cover, allowed for Sairento to kick out......

Sairento still looked dazed though and Hideki set up for the Shiranui, only for Sairento to not be as dazed as Hideki thought he was and crotch the former Junior Tag Champion on the top turnbuckle......

Sairento then hoisted Hideki upon his shoulders.......

Planted with the Ryuk's Apple (Cuthroat Inverted Death Valley Driver)......

One..........

Two.......

Three !!

With constant distractions from other Kuro members, the S.H.I.P were always fighting an uphill battle in this match and it was an uphill battle that they were unable to overcome.

Sairento wasn't done however he wanted to make an 'example' of Hideki and looked set to deliver a Kuro-Stomp.....

Only for Hideki Nori to slide in and waffle Sairento with a chairshot!!

And then another chairshot!!!

The rest of Kuro come in to try and save Sairento from the assault! only to then be ambushed with the rest of S.H.I.P

Sairento gets back up but is met with a chairshot into the midsection from Nori, who then plants the Kuro leader with a Nigiri Serving (Leaping Reverse STO)....before getting in a couple more chairshots on Sairento's fallen form.....

Announcer Shun'en Kogara confirms what everyone else is thinking when he says 'Nori has lost it, he's absolutely lost it!'

Nori then satisfied he had Sairento laid out, then picked up a microphone....

'It sickens me, it absolutely sickens me to be using your methods Sairento, but the crap you and the rest of your mindless followers pull week in, week out has pushed me over the edge!.....

Yes I'm going to play you at your own game Sairento, some might call me crazy, but I'm now convinced the only way to beat you, to truly beat you... is to DESTROY you!

Nori then paused for a moment, before a rather psychotic smirk came across his face, before speaking once again......

Bun.....kyo .....Hall....No......Rope........No......DQ!!!

Nori then dropped then threw the microphone at the still fallen Sairento and then exited the ring......

Tadashi Saga then commented 'You're right Kogara, Nori has lost it, he truly has lost it!'

Rating: 74

Takayuki Balls: Both myself and the DIASPORA fans are happy to let an abundance of interference and what-not slide, when it leads to great story telling and that's exactly what happened here.....the follow up wiht Nori 'snapping' was one of the best non wrestling segments we have done here in DIASPORA....effectively setting up the main event for the next Bunkyo Hall show in Tokyo. And yeah I know it's the same main event from last time we were there, and it suffered from troubles of no selling but I just have this gut feeling this one will work out better, especially with the stipulation that will be in place and with the way this feud has been building.

___________________________________________________________

Overall: 78

Takayuki's Final Verdict: This was always meant to be the stronger of our two shows in the Kansai double header and it delivered as promised. All in all it concludes a good weekend for DIASPORA in my home region

Infernalmiko · June 6, 2012

Result: Soh Terajima [w] bt Xtinction [L] in 6:57 via pinfall (Soh The Seeds of Tera)

The role of Xtinction was played this week by the lucky fan in seat 23. Easy match to pick, Soh isn't much, so he needs every win over jobbers he can get.

Result: Taheji Ebisawa [w] bt Hunter Wolfe [L] in 7:58 via pinfall (Ebisawa Complex)

Typical match for them. Ebisawa is the hotter prospect by a little. Wolfe is going no where, ideally he's be given a run as a jobber for a while, let go to work elsewhere for a bit and then come back with a little more overness. TEW doesn't do that well though.

Result: Oda Yamawaki [w] bt Shiki Hirasi [L] in 6:38 via pinfall (Tokyo Tower)

Mmm, sushi.

Result: Koto Arato & Go Takashi [w] bt Eikichi Minamoto & Kan Mitsubishi [L] in 10:05 via pinfall (DRRR!!)

I want Takashi's next finisher to be the HrpDrp! I'm looking forward to the Arato extreme weightloss skits that are surely upcoming.

Result: Prime Dragon & Talisman [w] bt Meido Machine [L] & HUSTLE Umiro via pinfall in 12:29 via pinfall (Golden Idol)

Nothing surprising here. Good comedy with a little action, just a fun little match without any real suspense about who'll win. I so want the Meido Beam to be a invisible Hadouken that only people in the ring and see and react to, but that's probably taking the comedy a little too far. But then the last diary I did had a wrestler v. invisible wrestler pure comedy match.

Result: Hyotaru Ichigawa [w] & Zodiac bt Chojiro Ono & Dark Wolf II [L] in 12:57 via pinfall (Chugoku Spike)

Loss for Dark Wolfe but it's in a good cause and a good match. No real suspense here as far as who wins, but it got a very good rating.

Result: GUSHIKEN [w] bt Hiro Date [L] in 14:49 via pinfall (GUSHIKEN Firebomb)

This is more like it, though. A good Strong Style stiff brawl, just the sort of match I love higher up the card. Plenty of spirit from Date and he fought hard. GUSHY was a little better but this is the type of match that could go either way.

Result: Sairento [w], Tian Long & Incognito bt Hiroto Nori, Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki in 30:21 via pinfall (Ryuk's Apple)

Incognito Driver

When someone wakes up from this, do they not remember who they are?

This Old Fool, needs to keep his eye on the match

'Hey ref, it's a fine game you're missing!' I learned that at the last baseball outing my company organized.

Hideki doing the same to Soh Terajima......

You would think he'd avoid Hideki by now...

But Kuro's regular annoyance Soh Terajima and his trusty Black Box was back up on the apron and about to strike.....only to get it superkicked into his face by Shintaro Hideki......

Nope. But at least this time the box was not kicked into his face.

The announcers really were pondering what the deal was with this fan, and how the hell she managed to get the camera fixed on every show. Surely now if she was just some over obsessive whack job, she would be escorted out of the building and banned from showing up at any more DIASPORA shows.

If they only knew. One of these days they be going “Oh, that cute psycho fan is back. Isn't she cute...where did that AXE come from! Aaiiii!”

The rest of Kuro come in to try and save Sairento from the assault!

Now that's a line I never thought I'd read. Great match, lots of action and interference. And Mio!

If I we were running a show in my home region of Kansai I would go home to my flat in Den Den Town, Osaka. If we were running a show outside of that region I would tag along with the guys who weren't near home and stay at whatever bland business hotel Dragon-san has put us up in and endure the Buffet Breakfast. This had come the pattern my life had taken, one of being out on tour with a wrestling promotion.....

Except on this occasion I wouldn't have to endure the generic buffet breakfast....we were going to be back in Kanto and Dragon-san was only too happy to put me up at his home just outside Yokohama.

On the surface he always wanted to play host, because he wanted to 'talk business' but I had a feeling the real reason he liked having me to stay, is so that he could show off his prize catch of a wife Misaki....and who could blame him. She is beautiful,demure, charming.....just the perfect Yamato Nadeshiko. And I'll fully admit, I'm jealous of him but there was no point crying over the fact that a man who wore a mask all day and all night had better luck with the ladies than me.

http://www.japanholidays.com.au/files/2FHitoyoshi%20Ryokan%20Kaiseki%20Meal.JPG

What I didn't mind having to endure was Misaki's cooking, she served us up a lovely Kaiseki feast, just like the sort you would get served to you in a traditional ryokan. I must have blurted the comment out, because suddenly Misaki commented in that demure voice of her's. An angelic voice, cute but not over-cute....just perfect.

'It was at a Ryokan that me and Primey met'

Dragon-san then spoke....'She was working at one I stayed at in Kanazawa'

Kanazawa?! Not exactly known as a mecca for wrestling, I had to wonder what he was doing there.

'I decided to go there when we were off tour, it's absolutely lovely in the springtime when the cherry blossom is out, especially in Kenroku-en'

'Yes Primey's quite the Garden enthusiast'

'Though of course the most beautiful flower I found in Kanazawa was Misaki herself'

'Oh stop Primey, you're making me blush'

Either these two really had fallen for each other, or they had worked this act together so many times they had perfected this 'lie' they were pedalling and had really started to believe it themselves. Of course I was trying to convince myself it was the latter, still not wanting to believe that a man who sleeps, showers and screws in a mask could have a wife who must be half his age, especially one as lovely as Misaki.

'I have to say it wasn't quite love at first sight'

'Oh come on Misaki it was for me!'

'Oh Primey, you know the fact you never take of that mask of yours, freaked me out for a while.....'

And she's not freaked out now by it?!!

'But of course I got to know the man underneath the mask, the sweet gentle man, who has taken good care of me, the man who loves me with all his heart'

'But oh it is you that takes care of me Misaki, though I had much...before I met you I felt an emptiness, but with you I feel complete'

This kaiseki feast we were having was absolutely lovely, but I was starting to feel as though I wanted to throw up.......

The whole vibe I was having to endure, was like that of a really terrible shojo romance manga.

Tigerkinney · June 7, 2012

DIASPORA's Full Metal Panic Tour! continues, as they make their make their second trip of the year to the legendary Bun-kyo Hall in Tokyo on Tuesday 7th February, with a pair of pay per view quality main events topping the bill.

Last time DIASPORA was in Bun-kyo Hall, Hiroto Nori was stretchered out of the building after defeat in a vicious number one's contenders match with Sairento. Now the two will be facing off in a rematch, but this isn't purely about who can put themselves in contention for the Super Junior Championship, this feud has become very personal, as shown by Nori's actions at the end of the recent show in Kobe.

The S.H.I.P leader 'snapped' attacking Sairento post match after a six man tag between S.H.I.P and Kuro-Nadeshiko (that saw Kuro come out on top, after using nefarious means throughout the match). Then perhaps more shockingly Nori then challenged the notoriously violent Kuro-Nadeshiko leader to a No Rope, No DQ match...with many questioning the sanity of Nori's decision in taking on Sairento in a match that on paper favours the 'Silent Reaper'. In the latest round of their feud, we will see if Nori's challenge was a foolish one or will the S.H.I.P continue to unleash a dark and violent side, that perhaps even Sairento himself is not ready for.

New Solution (Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki) lost the Junior Tag Team Championship, when they were the first team to be eliminated in a three way elimination match at Neon Genesis Evolution, an elimination they feel aggrieved about because it was due to interference from IMPERIOUS' fellow Kuro members. But it was IMPERIOUS who emerged as the champions, it was the Guardians duo of Zodiac and Talisman, now known as 'Whispered'.

New Solution feel that Whispered can't really call themselves the Junior Tag Team Champions until they have beaten them, and Whispered themselves feel that in order to prove to everyone they are worthy of being called the champions, they need to beat New Solution. Will New Solution take back the belts, they feel they never should have lost in the first place or will Whispered prove themselves to be the new men to beat atop the Junior Tag ranks.

There will also be a star studded six man between The Guardians and Kuro Nadeshiko, with the Super Junior (Prime Dragon) and Heavyweight (Hyotaru Ichigawa) champions teaming with Eikichi Minamoto to take on Incognito and the Udon Noodle Killers (GUSKIKEN & Chojiro Ono), whilst there will be further six man action with the S.H.I.P trio of Koto Arato and the All Asia tag champions the Tokyo Wrecking Crew (Oda Yamawaki and Hiro Date) up against Shiki Hirasi and ShimiKuma (Aki Shimizudani & Hirouchi Inokuma)

In Junior Tag Team action the Kuro-Nadeshiko duo of Tian Long and Dark Wolf II will be faced with the tricky challenge of facing off with DIASPORA's oddest duo MOE! MONEY! (Meido Machine & HUSTLE Umiro), whilst a pair of singles matches round out the main show card with Soh Terajima clashing with Taheji Ebisawa and Blood Spider Jr up against Kohei Hidaka.

A bonus pre-show match see's two young talents from the heavyweight division collide with Go Takashi taking on Hunter Wolfe.

Here is a run-down of the full card for Show 12 of the the Full Metal Panic! Tour.....

Tiberious · June 7, 2012

No Rope/No DQ: Sairento vs Hiroto Nori

Now this is real main event kind of match. I'll go with Nori mostly because the winner here is clearly in line for a title shot and Sairento's negative chemistry with Prime Dragon hurts him. Plus it's no DQ so Nori's girlfriend can make the save if Sairento goes for his usual sadistic tactics.

Junior Tag Team Championship: Whispered (Zodiac & Talisman) vs New Solution (Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki)

New Solution are a great team, but Zodian and Talisman are great period and I don't see them getting such a short title run.

Incognito, GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono vs Prime Dragon, Hyotaru Ichigawa & Eikichi Minamoto

Incognito could be a challenger for PD's belt down the line and GUSHIKEN is still a star even if he is getting old, but I think Ono is the weak link here.

Tian Long & Dark Wolf II vs MOE! MONEY! (Meido & HUSTLE)

Now this one is actually a tough call. Moe! Money! is a comedy team, but they've come close to beating some good teams and while the Kuro members are bigger individual names they aren't a real team.

I'll go with Kuro here because I don't see them losing all of their matches on the show, but there is a possibility of an upset here.

Hirasi, Shimizudani & Inokuma vs Arato, Date & Yamawaki

No way SHIP loses here.

Soh Terajima vs Taheji Ebisawa

Could go either way, but Ebisawa has more upside.

Blood Spider Jr vs Kohei Hidaka

I know The Forgotten aren't the most exciting team, but Blood Spider has just seemed directionless since his team with Wolf didn't work out.

Go Takashi vs Hunter Wolfe

I just can't see Takashi losing here after his win last month.

"Did someone say No DQ?"

Junior Tag Team Championship: Whispered (Zodiac & Talisman) vs New Solution (Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki)

I didn't hear anything about Talisman getting into trouble, so I'm going with the champs.

Incognito, GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono vs Prime Dragon, Hyotaru Ichigawa & Eikichi Minamoto

I'm with Tib on this one.

Tian Long & Dark Wolf II vs MOE! MONEY! (Meido & HUSTLE)

Mr. Protected needs a win, but at least it'll be an entertaining match.

Hirasi, Shimizudani & Inokuma vs Arato, Date & Yamawaki

SHIPPER Yaoi fangirl word games. Arato Dates Yamawaki. Squee!

Soh Terajima vs Taheji Ebisawa

I don't think Ebisawa is established enough to beat the bully in da hoody. Besides, Soh is in a storyline he'll lose, so he needs a few wins before that.

Blood Spider Jr vs Kohei Hidaka

Hidaka is more established.

Go Takashi vs Hunter Wolfe

Takashi continues his development. Wolfe continues to learn what the ceiling of every arena in Japan looks like.

Zergon · June 8, 2012

No Rope/No DQ: Sairento vs Hiroto Nori

Tough one. I go with Nori purely because Sairento just had a title shot and I think it´s Nori´s turn to get one.

Junior Tag Team Championship: Whispered (Zodiac & Talisman) vs New Solution (Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki)

Whispered just won the titles.

Incognito, GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono vs Prime Dragon, Hyotaru Ichigawa & Eikichi Minamoto

Dragon and Ichigawa in the same team = win.

Tian Long & Dark Wolf II vs MOE! MONEY! (Meido & HUSTLE)

Long needs to be protected and since he´s here and not in that six-man match I´d say that Kuro guys win this one.

Hirasi, Shimizudani & Inokuma vs Arato, Date & Yamawaki

Bigger names.

Soh Terajima vs Taheji Ebisawa

Ebisawa is more talented but I feel that Terajima is still slighly higher on pecking order.

Blood Spider Jr vs Kohei Hidaka

Tough one but Hidaka is more established and probably deserves the win here.

Go Takashi vs Hunter Wolfe

Takashi is more important right now.

Tigerkinney · June 10, 2012

Result: Prime Dragon & Talisman [w] bt Meido Machine [L] & HUSTLE Umiro via pinfall in 12:29 via pinfall (Golden Idol)

Nothing surprising here. Good comedy with a little action, just a fun little match without any real suspense about who'll win. I so want the Meido Beam to be a invisible Hadouken that only people in the ring and see and react to, but that's probably taking the comedy a little too far. But then the last diary I did had a wrestler v. invisible wrestler pure comedy match.

The Hadouken might be taking things a little too far Then again what I've got lined up for the next MOE! MONEY! is pretty ridiculous in itself....But I'll fully admit they're the most fun matches to write

Next show should be up in the middle of the week sometime (if I can bang it out earlier, I will)- just having a bit of writers block with the Guardians-Kuro six man tag, not because the match is disappointingly mediocre more the opposite really.

Full Metal Panic! Tour - Show 12

Tuesday 7th February 2012, Tokyo Bunkyo Hall, Kanto (2,000-Super No Vacancy!)

Match 0: Go Takashi vs Hunter Wolfe

The gaijin Wolfe had the better of the early going and got a close two count with a German Suplex Hold, but Takashi turned things round with the Headless Ride (Running Neckbreaker) before snaring Wolfe in the middle of the ring with the Dollars (Inverted Cloverleaf), forcing 'Ronin Thunder' to tap out.

Result: Go Takashi [w] bt Hunter Wolfe [L] in 5:59 via submission (Dollars)

Rating: 39

Takayuki Balls: Crowd just weren't interested in this match, and they didn't really enough time to build up any interest either. Both guys have potential but this match firmly belonged on the pre-show.

S.H.I.P are in the middle of the ring and Nori has a microphone. The S.H.I.P says 'He will finish what he started in Kobe, by destroying Sairento and anyone else from Kuro dare they get in his way'.......

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Sairento.jpg http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_TianLong.jpg

That brings Kuro out onto the entrance ramp....Sairento just stands there silently brooding....before Tian Long in his stable spokeman role, reads out a message written by Sairento ' Your pathetic attack, has only served you your death wish for tonight, and I do not need 'help' to deliver death to you, tonight I will send my soliders away, for even without them alongside me, you are weak!'.....Sariento then made is customary creepy throat slash gesture.......

Nori signalled to Sairento to 'bring it on', but they were kept apart from coming to blows there and then by their fellow stable members. After that potentially explosive situation had blown over, Kotei Yamato then got on the mic and promised that New Solution would 'Take back what is rightfully their's the Junior Tag Team Championship!

Match 1: Blood Spider Jr vs Kohei Hidaka

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_BloodSpiderJr.jpg vs http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_KoheiHidaka.jpg

The match began with some fast paced chain wrestling with Hidaka coming out on top of the exchanges. Blood Spider Jr went out for a power and Hidaka gave chase only to be blindsided by the 'New Nightmare' after distraction from a Black Box wielding Soh Terajima.

Blood Spider Jr took control, hitting a Russian Legsweep for a two count, before heading up top but Hidaka got his knees up as Spider went for the Blood Drop (Senton Bomb) and got a two count with a quick roll up. Hidaka then planted Spider with a DDT for a two count and then headed up top himself, only for the Kuro distractions to come into play again- giving Spider time to rise back up and bring 'Red Dog' crashing back into the ring with a hurracanrana.

Hidaka then blocked a Lethal Bite (Double Underhook Piledriver) attempt and countered with a back body drop. Spider got right back up and then spat out a burst of Asian mist, but Hidaka saw it coming ducked and then took the 'New Nightmare' by surprise with a schoolboy roll-up.....

Blood Spider Jr managed to kick out at two, but was then nailed with a knee lift from Hidaka, who then followed up with a snap suplex before heading up top and then planting the 'New Nightmare' with the Bite and Bark (Diving Bulldog) to pick up the victory.

Result: Kohei Hidaka [w] bt Blood Spider Jr [L] in 8:48 via pinfall (Bite and Bark)

Rating: 52

Takayuki Balls: Hidaka's unlikely to ever amount to someone who can make it to the top of the ladder, but I'm actually starting to learn that he is at the very least a 'solid hand' down the lower end of it. Blood Spider Jr has the potential to be a 'star' one day, but at this moment in time his fledgling career he's going to be losing more matches than he wins.

__________________________________________________________________

Match 2: Soh Terajima vs Taheji Ebisawa

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_SohTerajima.jpg vs http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_TaheijiEbisawa.jpg

Ebisawa dominated Terajima for much of the match with his size and power advantage, but each time it look he was about to put the 'Cloaked Assassin' away after building up momentum with a series of power moves such as a release German Suplex....Terajima would bail from the ring for a powder.

For much of this Ebisawa was patient, but eventually his inexperience showed he took the bait, where he was levelled with a Black Box Shot from the 'Cloaked Assassin'. Terajima rolled Ebisawa back into the ring and went for the cover only for 'Forceful Dagger' to kick out and then retake control with a clothesline before planting Terajima with the Ebisawa Complex (Swinging Sideslam Backbreaker).....

That should have sewn up the match for the young heavyweight but Kuro were up to their old tricks and referee Ochida was falling for the distraction. Ebisawa realised his pin wasn't being counted and got up to catch Ochida's attention, only for Terajima to recover sneak in a low blow and then roll up Ebisawa with a school boy roll up to sneak out the undeserving victory, much to the annoyance of the fans in attendance.

Result: Soh Terajima [w] bt Taheji Ebisawa [L] in 7:31 via pinfall (Schoolboy Roll Up)

Rating: 46

Takayuki Balls: Crowd hated the finish, but I was expecting and prepared to take the hit on that, as I wanted Ebisawa to look strong but for Terajima to still look relevant by finding a way to sneak away with the win.

__________________________________________________________________

Match 3: Koto Arato, Hiro Date & Oda Yamawaki vs

Aki Shimizudani, Horiuchi Inokuma & Shiki Hirasi

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_KotoArato.jpghttp://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HiroDate.jpg http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_OdaYamawaki.jpg

This heavyweight six man tag between S.H.I.P and the 'non affiliated's was pretty much just an extended squash from start to finish. The only time ShimiKuma plus one had some sort of foothold in the match, was due to the S.H.I.P taking their foot off the gas a little and Inokuma was able to hit the Sea-Change (Spinning Side Slam) on Date around the six minute mark, but Yamawaki made the save and that was as close as they came to pulling out a shock win.

Then in a show of just how much they dominated the match the S.H.I.P trio all hit signature suplexes on their opponents. Yamiwaki with the Sumida Bridge (Bridging Leg Hook Belly to Back) on Inokuma, Arato with the Arato Suplex (Half Nelson Choke) on Shimizudani and finally Date with the Rejection II (Backdrop Suplex) on Hiraisi to secure the dominant victory.

Result: Koto Arato, Hiro Date [w] 7 Oda Yamawaki vs Aki Shimizudani, Horiuchi Inokuma & Shiki Hirasi [L] in 9:12 via pinfall (Rejection II)

Rating: 56

Takuyaki Balls: ShimiKuma plus one battled on bravely and even got in a 'hope' spot to keep the crowds interest but this was what it was pretty expected to be a squash to show that S.H.I.P are relevant and the unaffiliated's are not. The tri-fecta of suplexes was a cool finish though and the crowd reacted as such.

Match 4: Tian Long & Dark Wolf II vs

MOE! MONEY! (Meido Machine & HUSTLE Umiro)

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_MeidoMachine.jpg & http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HUSTLEUmiro.jpg

The Kuro duo show that they are all business by jumping the 'comedy' team of MOE! MONEY! before the bell, but the 'comedy' duo show they are not just here to make the crowd laugh and give as good as they got back....somewhat taking the Kuro pairing by surprise.

The 'comedy' underdogs hit stereo drop-kicks that send their opponents to the floor and then follow up with a tope con hilo from HUSTLE and a flying crossbody from Meido. MOE! MONEY! kept up the momentum when they got back in the ring, planting Tian Long with their signature double team snap suplex.

MOE!

MONEY!

Dark Wolf II however was able to make the save, levelling Meido with a lariat and then sneaking a suspiciously low knee lift into the groin of HUSTLE before delivering a DDT. The Kuro duo then worked over HUSTLE in their corner, before Dark Wolf II then applied Holo's Dream (Three Quarter Nelson Choke).....

It looked as though HUSTLE was about to be squeezed out of energy, and that the only way MOE! MONEY! was going to stay in this match, is if Meido Machine was going to break into the ring and make the save......

Accept he didn't, all he did was stand in the corner holding a chocolate parfait....

Then something weird happened HUSTLE suddenly 'Thundered Up' and broke free of the Holo's Dream, before delivering spinebuster to a shell shocked Dark Wolf II and then knocking Tian Long off the apron before scrambling back to the corner, and tagging in Meido...before snatching the chocolate parfait out of his partners hands.....

Meido nailed Dark Wolf II with a leg lariat and then went up top.....MEIDO BEAM! he screamed .....before nailing the 'Howling Menace' with a missile drop kick......

Tian Long however was able to make the save, before planting Meido with a chokeslam......Dark Wolf II then got back up levelled Meido with a lariat and then followed up with the Howling Fury (Slingshot Powerbomb).........

HUSTLE Umiro meanwhile was too preoccupied with scoffing down the Chocolate parfait to save his partner.

Result: Tian Long & Dark Wolf II [w] bt Meido Machine [L] & HUSTLE Umiro in 9:46 via pinfall (Howling Fury).

Rating: 56

Takayuki Balls: A wrestler gaining 'fighting spirit' because he has to have a Chocolate Parfait has to be just about the silliest, most ridiculous thing ever seen in a DIASPORA ring and then I remembered that I booked this 'wrestle-crap'. But as I said before I think such 'entertainment' has it's place in wrestling, not in the main event but right here in the midcard....some of the fans get that, some of them don't.

Post Match Comments:

Tian Long: This is how DIASPORA disrespects me, the great Tian Long by putting a legend like me in there with a pair of 'comedy' idiots. There is nothing at all funny about such fools, they deserve to be punished!

Match 5: Prime Dragon, Hyotaru Ichigawa & Eikichi Minamoto vs

Incognito, GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Incognito.jpg http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_GUSHIKEN.jpg http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_ChojiroOno.jpg

The opening five minutes, were a bit of a stale mate with neither side really taking advantage, until Ichigawa nailed Ono with the Decapitator ( Running Bicycle Kick)......'Epic Tsunami' shook it off but was then nailed with a missile drop kick from Prime Dragon......

Ono kicked out of the cover from Ichigawa, but was then caught in the Crucifix Arm Bar. 'Epic Tsunami' however was able to make it to the ropes and force the rope break. Ichigawa then looked to nail Ono with another Decapitator but was levelled with a cheap shot from the apron by GUSHIKEN.

That lead to the heavyweight champion being isolated in the Kuro-Nadeshiko corner. But 'White Light' showed the fighting spirit of a champion by kicking out of a GUSHIKEN Driver (Samoan Driver) and then a moonsault from Incognito....... Ichigawa then created the opening he needed to turn the match back around again when he dumped Incognito with a Dragon Suplex. Before tag into Prime Dragon who nailed 'El Pesadilla Hermosa' with a rolling wheel kick and then followed up with the Prime Driver (Over The Shoulder Belly to Back Piledriver)......

However Ono made the save, before planting the Super Junior Champion with the Okinawa Battle Bomb (Spinning Powerbomb)....however referee Sugimura rightly did not recognise 'Epic Tsunami' as the legal man waiving off the pin attempt.

The 'Grand Pillar' was in deep trouble however, and GUSHIKEN set up a GUSHIKEN Firebomb (Thunder Fire Power Bomb) but somehow Dragon managed to fight off the attempt and counter with a Tornado DDT before nailing GUSHIKEN with a rolling wheel kick....stunning 'Great Thunder' enough to tag out to Eikichi Minamoto.

'Rumble Heart' however was nailed with a GUSHIKEN Smash (Charging Elbow Smash) by Great Thunder but managed to kick out at two....... GUSHIKEN then turned it over to Ono who went for the Tsunami (Big Splash) but Minamoto had it scouted and managed to move out of the way.

Ichigawa and Incognito were then tagged in respectively.....'El Pesadilla Hermosa' stunned Ichigawa with a spinning heel kick, and then followed up with a springboard inverted DDT before heading up top.......only for 'White Light' to move out of the way of the Susurro De La Muerte (630 Senton), Ichigawa then dumped Incognito with the Dragon Suplex but then somewhat to Ichigawa's surprise/annoyance Minamoto decided to make a 'blind' tag.

'Rumble Heart' then nailed Incognito with a running boot and then followed up with the Ode to Eri (Cradle Brainbuster) to secure the victory for The Guardians trio. Despite the victory, post match it was clear that Ichigawa was not happy with Minamoto tagging himself back into the match.

Result: Prime Dragon, Hyotaru Ichigawa & Eikichi Minamoto [w] bt Incognito [L], GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono in 15:29 via pinfall (Ode to Eri)

Rating: 77

Takayuki Balls: There's always the possibility of outside interferenc with a Kuro match, but they stayed away from that here and made it for a solid, competitive six man tag. Fans were intrigued by the finish too.

Post Match Comments:

Hyotaru Ichigawa and Eikichi Minamoto are still arguing over the fact that 'Minamoto' stole in to hit the decisive move/make the pin on Incognito......

Hyotaru Ichigawa: What the hell was that about, Minamoto-san, I would like to know....I had Incognito... I HAD him.....

Eikichi Minamoto: More like your ego thought he had him, I did you a favour by tagging in, by tagging in I one hundred per cent guaranteed us victory.

Hyotaru Ichigawa: Oh is that so......

Eikichi Minamoto: You know it to be so......

Prime Dragon seeing that the situation between his two stable mates, could escalate into more than just a war of words, got between them....

Prime Dragon: I don't know what the hell the beef is between you two, but the main thing is we won, just let this incident slide and lets move on, we need to be united.

Ichigawa and Minamoto both take heed to their leader's words and stop arguing with another, both making a point to then apologise to Dragon.

Match 6: Junior Tag Team Championship:

Whispered (Zodiac & Talisman) vs

New Solution (Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki)

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_DIASPORA_JrTag.jpg http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_DIASPORA_JrTag.jpg

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Zodiac.jpg & http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Talisman.jpg

vs

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_KoteiYamato.jpg & http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_ShintaroHideki.jpg

The first of two main event quality match-up's see's Whispered put the Junior Tag belts on the line against the previous champions, that technically they didn't actually beat New Solution.

Opening five minutes are largely a feeling out process, with little bursts of chain wrestling, ending in stand-off's and lots of nods of respect to their opponents, clearly showing that these four don't 'hate' each other, this match purely about proving which team is the best.

Of course eventually in order to actually do that and move out of the respect based stale mate, someone has to actually show a bit of aggression...It's Yamato who does just that peppering Zodiac with a combination of stiff strikes, only for him upping the tempo to back fire, when 'Innovations God' blocks a high kick and counters into a Dragon Screw leg whip.

Zodiac transitions that into the Twelve Signs (Cross Face/Cloverleaf combo) but Yamato quickly makes it to the ropes. Zodiac keeps Yamato in the Whispered corner and tags in Talisman, before combining on a slingshot catapult/missile drop-kick combo for a two count.

'The Second Coming' then planted Yamato with a Falcon Arrow, before Zodiac then followed up with a slingshot leg-drop.......

Hideki feeling the situation was desperate enough broke up the pin attempt, however Whispered stayed in control, sending Hideki out to the corner and then whipping Yamato into the corner........Zodiac then dropped down to a crouching position for Talisman to jump off, and nail Yamato with a corner leg lariat......

'Pin Point' however managed to move out of the way and Talisman got himself tangled up in the corner.....Yamato then nailed Zodiac with a drop-kick, before getting the tag into Hideki, before New Solution nailed stereo drop-kicks on Talisman who had gotten himself tied up in a tree of woe- after the 'Poetry in Motion' failure.

Hideki then took over Talisman with a Northern Lights Suplex for a two count, but before Talisman can rise back to his feet, he plants the 'Second Coming' with another Northern Lights and transitions into the Hideki Special Cross Arm Bar......

Zodiac see's that his partner is in major trouble and breaks into the ring to make the save, but is quickly stopped in his tracks with a superkick from Hideki, who then places the dazed Zodiac in harms way of a missile drop-kick from Yamato, who then delivers a senton bomb onto the already down Talisman......

One.......

Two......

Thr......

Talisman shows the fighting spirit of a champion by kicking out.....

The 'Second Coming' remains in deep trouble however, and New Solution set up for the Keiyakusha (Superkick/German Suplex combo), but Talisman manages to battle his way out and then forces a standing switch just as Hideki delivers the superkick...leading to Yamato being the victim of 'New Solution's' signature finisher instead.......

But Talisman is too worn down to hold onto the bridge, and is simply looking to tag out to Zodiac. 'The Second Coming' gets the tag to Zodiac who then takes down both members of New Solution with a spinning head-scisssors/Tilt-A-Whirl DDT combo....

'Innovations God' then looked to make a dive to the floor, but was cut off with a stiff kick from Yamato. 'Pin Point' then took down Zodiac with a running bulldog, as Hideki came back in and hit a basement drop-kick, the combo leading to a two count before Yamato looked to set up for the Gurren Driver (Scoop Slam Piledriver) but Zodiac managed to slip out over the back of Yamato and then counter into a Beetle Suplex (Tiger Suplex).......

Yamato kicked out a two but was then whipped into the Whispered Corner, where this time the Junior Tag Champions managed to pull off 'Poetry in Motion' before Talisman sent Yamato crashing back into the ring with a hurracanrana, before Zodiac then drilled 'Pin Point' with the Card of Doom (Cross Legged Scoop Slam Piledriver)......

One..........

Two.....

Thr.......

Hideki then made the desperation save, and then countered a Tornado DDT attempt from Talisman into a Front Suplex onto the top-rope, before countering a head-scissors from Zodiac into a Powerbomb.

Yamato and Hideki then hit stereo basement drop-kicks on Talisman, only for Zodiac to take both members of New Solution down with a double springboard drop-kick.......

Yamato pops right back up however and nails Zodiac with an Enziguri, and then applies a waistlock.....Hideki then follows in with a superkick.......

KEIYAKUSHA!! (Superkick assisted German)........

One......

Two......

Thr........

Talisman recovers and makes the last ditch save. He snaps of a pair of headscissors take-downs and then snaps another one off on Yamato to immediately transition into the 'God Know's' Crucifix Pin

One......

Two......

Thr......

Hideki makes the save with a low Superkick.....'Integral Prowess' then lifts the dazed Talisman up with a Half Nelson, as he looks to set up for the Final Base (Half Nelson Lifted Wheelbarrow Driver), but Talisman gets his wits back and counters into a victory roll.......

One......

Two......

Hideki kicks out and then New Solution retake control to nail Talisman with stereo superkicks........

One...........

Two.......

Thr........

Zodiac makes a spectacular last ditch save with the Another Universe (Springboard 450 Splash) as he comes crashing down upon Hideki........

Yamato intercepts him though and pulls him in for the End Game (Clutched Knee Strike Flurry) but 'Innovations God' manages to hold firm and suddenly counters into a Zodiac Sniper '98 (Leg Trap Sunset Flip Powerbomb).......

One.......

Two.....

Thr......

Hideki makes the save, but is then nailed with a jumping high kick from Talisman, leading to the champions hitting the Steins Gate (Wheelbarrow dropped into a double knee gutbuster) ......

One......

Two......

Three !!

Whispered were able to hit the decisive move in a back and forth contest to retain the Junior Tag Team Championship and truly prove themselves to be the best Junior Heavyweight Tag Team in DIASPORA.

Result: Zodiac [w] & Talisman bt Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki [L] in 19:37 via pinfall (Steins Gate)

Whispered make V1 defence of DIASPORA Junior Tag Team Championship.

Rating: 79

Takayuki Balls: After a cagey (some would say non eventful) first five minutes, this match was balls to the wall, back and forth tag team action for the remainder. And yes admittedly about half way through the match, the very notion of who was the legal man or not completely flew out of the proverbial window, but when you have two teams as exciting as innovative as this, you can forgive that anomaly.

Post Match Comments:

Zodiac: Tonight Whispered showed that what happened at Neon Genesis Evolution was not down to luck, that it was not a one off, we showed the world, especially New Solution that we are the team to beat and we will continue to be the team to beat here in DIASPORA.

Kotei Yamato: Tonight I will have to concede, that Whispered were one step better than us....but I still believe that Hideki-san and I are the best Junior Heavyweight Tag Team in the world. I promise, we will win those belts back....in fact we relish the challenge placed before us by Whispered, together us four can take Junior Heavyweigh Tag Team wrestling to heights it has never gone before.

Match 7: No Rope, No DQ:

Sairento vs Hiroto Nori

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Sairento.jpg vs http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HirotoNori.jpg

As the ring ropes are being taken down the announce team, explain the rules of the main event.......

The match will see the ring-ropes removed from the ring, and there will be no disqualifications and no count-outs.....however the match is not falls count anywhere, a pin, submission or knockout must still take place in the ring.

It is evident right away, that Sairento and Nori want to lay into each other right away but respective members from their stable manage to keep them apart, before the bell rings.

All the seething hatred between these two bitter rivals, immediately explodes as soon as the bell does ring, as they lay stiff strikes and kicks into each other nether one willing to back down. Announcer Shun'en Kogara comment that Sairento has always been an incredibly punishing striker, but Nori is like a 'man possessed' and giving as good as he gets back.

In fact Nori strings together an early Endless Nori Kick Flurry but Sairento is able to block the high kick and levels Nori with a lariat, only for the S.H.I.P leader to spring right back up and rock Sairento with a dropkick....Sairento staggers backwards towards the edge of the ring and Nori seeing that decides to go for a spear, but 'Silent Reaper' manages to side step out of the way and Nori ends up crashing into the front row.

Nori staggers back up to his feet but is levelled with a diving fore-arm smash by Sairento. The Kuro Leader then picks up a steel chair and delivers a few shots to the back of Nori, before drilling' Battle' with a DDT onto one of the chairs in the front-row.

Sairento then whips Nori hard into the ring-steps, and then sits Nori in a chair, before setting up for a Facewash......

The female fan who is obsessed with Nori screams at him to 'Get up, Please Get Up!'.......

Her encouragement seems to jolt Nori into life, as he moves out of the way of the running boot and then stuns Sairento with a jumping kick to the head. Nori then picks up the same chair, that Sairento placed him in for the facewash, and the delivers a couple of shots into Sairento's mid-section, before planting 'Silent Reaper' with a Reverse STO out on the floor......

Nori then rolls back into the ring, before climbing up the turnbuckle post, which have the pads removed.......he takes his time get his balance and then goes for a double stomp, but Sairento sits up in an eerie fashion and then clips the legs out from underneath an unbalanced Nori.

'Silent Reaper' then delivers a couple more chair-shots to Nori, before lifting the dazed S.H.I.P leader upon his shoulders to deliver a Death Valley Driver on the apron.......

Sairento then chucks some chairs into the middle of the ring, before turning his attention back to Nori. 'Battle' stuns him with a leaping kick however, and then goes for the Nigiri Serving (Leaping Reverse STO) but Sairento blocks the attempt and counters into a Uranage Slam.

Sairento then stomped away on Nori, before dragging 'Battle' over ot the pile of folded chairs, where he delivered the Kuro Stomp (Surfboard Curb Stomp).......

One......

Two.....

Thr.....

Nori kicks out, but is then immediately subjected to another Kuro-Stomp onto the chairs, this time causing the S.H.I.P leader to be busted open on his forehead.....

This time Sairento decides not to go for the cover, and instead sadistically parades Nori's blooded face, which of course gets a rather hysterical reaction from Nori's number one fan.....

'Stop It, just stop it!'

'Silent Reaper' then sits a chair up, and the drills Nori with a Brainbuster onto the chair.....

One.....

Two......

'Don't give up Nori San!' screams his number one fan.....

Thr......

And he does manage to kick out, but he looks dead on his feet, as Sairento drags Nori upon his shoulders and begins to set up for a Death Valley Driver, but 'Battle' gets a burst of fighting spirit and counters into a crucifix bomb......

Nori then follows up with a basement drop-kick, before hitting a reverse STO onto the chair that Sairento set up earlier, before collapsing to the mat himself out of sheer exhaustion and the blood loss that he has suffered.

Both stagger back up to their feet, and Sairento shows he's still the one in better shape, by levelling Nori with a Yazuza Kick, and then following up with a Brainbuster......

One.......

Two......

Thr........

Nori still kicks out but remains rooted to the mat. Sairento decides to outside and produces a table from under the ring, and proceeds to set it up at ringside....But is met with a drop-kick from Nori, as he climbs back into the ring......

The S.H.I.P leader then starts to rally and soon has Sairento on the back foot with a flurry of kicks ....only to then get a kick blocked by Sairento and nailed with a rolling elbow......

Sairento then dragged a dazed Nori over onto the table, set up against the ring-apron....and began to set up for the Death Note (Spike Brainbuster), but Nori blocked the attempt and reversed into a Brainbuster of his own sending Sairento through the table!

'Battle' then pitched Sairento into the ring, put curiously did not decide on going to the cover...instead he placed Sairento's arm into one of the steel chairs, and then picked up another chair, and began wailing away on the arm placed in the chair..... 'Battle' looked like a man possessed, his face blooded a sadistic look in his eyes as he brought shot after shot down upon Sairento's arm, before going for the cover.........

One.......

Two........

Thr......

Sairento managed to kick out but Nori remained in the ascendency.....but instead of going for another quick cover...Nori with a sadistic glint in his eyes, suddenly pulled a ladder out from under the ring and set it up at ringside, before turning his attention back to Sairento to deliver a couple of stomps to the 'Kuro leader'......

Nori, then decides to climb the ladder he has set up, but it is clear he is not all that steady due to the blood loss.....

Sairento then suddenly sat up in his customary eerie way and then raced

up the ladder himself to bring Nori crashing back in with a superplex!!

Sairento then levels Nori with a Yakuza Kick, and follows up with the Death Note (Spike Brainbuster).......

One.......

Two......

Thr........

Nori's number one fan screams at him not to give up, and he does just that barely getting a shoulder up......

Sairento then waffles Nori with a couple more chairshots, before placing him in position to deliver the Absolute Terror (Front Knee Strike To The Face)..........

But for some reason he seems distracted..... Nori's number one fan is screaming 'Stop It !, Stop It!, Stop hurting my Nori-Chan'.......

Sairento's had enough of her screaming, and suddenly makes his way to ringside......

That gives Nori chance to recover, and the S.H.I.P leader nails Sairento with a drop-kick, Nori's number one fan gets all excited about him 'saving her' from being attacked by Sairento and goes to hug/kiss him.....only for Sairento to see the opportunity to sneak in a low blow......

Nori's fan however gets even more involved and starts wailing on Sairento with her handbag, to no effect what so-ever........

'Silent Reaper;' brushed off her attack, and then brings a chair down upon Nori, before pitching the S.H.I.P leader back into the ring, and then delivering a Brainbuster. Sairento then set Nori in position once again to deliver the Absolute Terror.

In the meantime, so security personnel escorted Nori's obsessive fan from ringside..... 'You can't do this, you can't take me away from my Nori-chan !'

Nori managed to move out of the way of the Absolute Terror and staggered Sairento with a leaping kick, before snapping off the Yakisoba (Tilt-A-Whirl Cross Arm Breaker)......

But before Nori could truly synch in the painful submission hold, Sairento managed to muster up enough strength to lift Nori up into a Powerbomb and sent him crashing upon one of the many chairs that had been scattered across the ring......

That forced Nori to release the submission hold. Sairento then nailed Nori with a stiff elbow shot, and then began to set up for Ryuk's Apple (Cuthroat Inverted Death Valley Driver), but he struggled to get it set up and Nori was able to fight his way out.....

Only to then be drilled once again with the Death Note (Spike Brainbuster)........

One.......

Two.....

Thr.......

Nori managed to kick out yet again, but the pin was noticeably weak from Sairento as he struggled to hook the leg, his arm still bothering him from Nori's chair based assault on it earlier......

Sairento dragged Nori back up to his feet, only for 'Battle' to hit the Nigiri Serving (Leaping Reverse STO out of nowhere).......

Yet again though Sairento sat back up up in an eerie fashion, only for Nori to be un-fazed by it, and nail 'Silent Reaper' with a High Kick to the Head, sending Sairento back down to the mat

But Nori was too exhausted and collapsed to the mat himself.....

Referee Sugimira applied a double count......

Both got back up at around seven, but Nori was quicker to the punch and then peppered Sairento with the Endless Nori kick flurry, he nails Sairento with the high kick to the head and 'Silent Reaper' goes down as though he has just been shot by sniper bullet.......

But then Nori collapses to the mat again himself, not quite able to get across to make the cover, his face now a crimson mask.

Once again Sugimura applies a double count........

Six......

Seven.......

Eight......

Nine.......

Ten.......

Neither man is able to answer the count, and Sugimura calls for the bell.....This intense battle between two bitter feuds, perhaps the most brutal match in DIASPORA history, has ended in a double knock-out.

Result: Hiroto Nori drew with Sairento in 24:52 (Double knockout)

Rating: 80

Takayuki Balls: Who knows why Nori-san's nutty girlfriend, had to get herself physically involved and somehow I feel we won't be hearing the last from her, after we had her escorted out of the building. Why did Nori-san have to end up going out with someone who such a headache, and she's becoming a headache for us, not just for him...as she is there at every damn show!

Some of the fans were also a little bit peeved about the match, ending in a non decisive manner. Negatives aside, this was a fantastic main event and a real step up from their last match....here the 'no selling' made more sense....with their hatred for one another, driving them on to try and out-last the other.

_____________________________________________________________________

Overall: 78

Takayuki's Final Verdict: My second Bun-kyo Hall show was thankfully stronger than the last. This was mostly due to the fact that the show ended with three strong matches.....the main event was a gamble in itself, as Sairento and Nori delivered a slightly disappointing match in the last Bun-kyo Hall show, but the fans have become more invested in the feud, helping them to step it up a gear in this return encounter.

Infernalmiko · June 13, 2012

Result: Go Takashi [w] bt Hunter Wolfe [L] in 5:59 via submission (Dollars)

Sorry, missed this match. Traffic was a bitch.

Result: Kohei Hidaka [w] bt Blood Spider Jr [L] in 8:48 via pinfall (Bite and Bark)

Typical stuff. Bloody Eightlegs isn't ready for a win. Ask me again in a years time.

Result: Soh Terajima [w] bt Taheji Ebisawa [L] in 7:31 via pinfall (Schoolboy Roll Up)

Ebisawa is evidently closer to Soh than I thought to come out of that looking strong. Terajima is so doomed in his little feud.

Result: Koto Arato, Hiro Date [w] 7 Oda Yamawaki vs Aki Shimizudani, Horiuchi Inokuma & Shiki Hirasi [L] in 9:12 via pinfall (Rejection II)

Wow, short write up befitting a 56.

Result: Tian Long & Dark Wolf II [w] bt Meido Machine [L] & HUSTLE Umiro in 9:46 via pinfall (Howling Fury).

Surprised? No. But this was no sushi match. 15 lines worth of match and three pics should soften the loss for Moe Money. And someday they may be popular enough to graduate from the comedy match.

Result: Prime Dragon, Hyotaru Ichigawa & Eikichi Minamoto [w] bt Incognito [L], GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono in 15:29 via pinfall (Ode to Eri)

The first big match. A little smart action, and a little drama. Minamoto ready to step up to Ichygawa? Sounds like it from the post match comments. He's definitely teasing a turn.

Result: Zodiac [w] & Talisman bt Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki [L] in 19:37 via pinfall (Steins Gate)

Close match and New Solution came out of it looking strong. It'll be interesting to see who their next challenger is. Probably not Moe Money.

Result: Hiroto Nori drew with Sairento in 24:52 (Double knockout)

Just the match I was waiting for. That's me beside Mio, holding the axe for her.

The female fan who is obsessed with Nori screams at him to 'Get up, Please Get Up!'.......

Her encouragement seems to jolt Nori into life,

Nori . o O (Oh God, I have to get up or she'll kill me.)

Nori's fan however gets even more involved and starts wailing on Sairento with her handbag, to no effect what so-ever........

Here, take the axe! It's no DQ!

his arm still bothering him from Nori's chair based assault on it earlier......

See, hit him 15 times with a chair and he HAS to sell.

Classic match and well written. A draw is probably the best result. There is a lot of wrestling left in this feud.
