DIASPORA- Takayuki of the Revolution-13 (Thunderverse)

Infernalmiko · February 15, 2014

<blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Saturday 30th June 2012 Gifu Prectural Arena, Gifu, Chubu (8,210 - No Vacancy) And Live on PPV with Emperor Sports </div></blockquote> “Control Gifu and you control Japan.” Or so they said in the Warring States period. Evidently Diaspora is using the same logic in puroresu. Let’s see how that goes. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Result: Horiuchi Inokuma [w] bt Chief Butler Wolfe + Nyan Nyan Neko Man + Yachi Kotara [L] in 7:11 via pinfall (Sea Change)</div></blockquote> No real surprise here. Ionkuma is not any good but he’s in a major faction. He’s Rafus to Minamoto’s Jericho. I can’t help but wonder, if Nyan Nyan Neko Man turns heel would he be called Nyan Nyan Neko Butcher? <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Result: Hiroto Nori [w] bt Koto Arato [L] in 10:52 via submission (Yakisoba) </div></blockquote> As expected, but this is a good thing. With these tweo we want to see a good, sportsman like battle with Mio Mio antics to liven things up. Arato is perennially one step behind the top talents in Diaspora but his old school, power based lariat puroresu style contrasts so well with everyone else. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Mio Mio's Mochi: My Nori-Chan knows that he HAS to win this cup! </div></blockquote> Some things never change, it’s nice to see anything Mio says about Nori is improved by adding “or else.” At the end. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Result: Hyotaru Ichigawa [w] bt Sairento [L] in 11:04 via pinfall (Chugoku Spike) </div></blockquote> Unstoppable force vs unselling object. Heaven help the sound guy who accidently plays the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pPLO4tnvNko" rel="external nofollow">Higurashi Kira OP</a>. A bruising match but it makes more sense for Ichigawa to advance. Nori’s build up to the rematch with Sairento continues. $ugimura continues his antics but less obviously than other times. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Result: Junichi Matsuo [w] bt Dark Wolf II [L] in 10:41 via pinfall (Fanservice) </div></blockquote> Matsuo and DW2 are both in the random filler category at this point but I think Matsuo has more upside at this point. He certainly gets more attention in the writing and this match had more lines than I expected. Nice to see Tiger embracing his inner oppai lover. Or he decided he needed more fan service to get attention and Mio Mio is there for exactly that. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Result: Meido Machine & HUSTLE Umiro [w] bt Ebi Kavidar & Paul Crowley [L] in 9:36 via pinfall (Out-Hustled) </div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Meido then cried out M M M MEIIIIDO BEAAAMMM, before nailing Crowley with the missile drop-kick </div></blockquote> Is this right? Whenever Karl Anderson yells “Machine Gun!” he usually gets flattened. Meido can teach him a few things. A little similarity here. DW2 dominites but Matsuo gets the flash pin. This match is similar in feel but Tiger’s obviously having fun with this little midcard feud.<img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> And it’s always a good plan to build up the midcard and see who can step up when the old guys retire. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Result: Eikichi Minamoto [w] bt Chojiro Ono [L] in 10:59 via submission (Akira Takano Tea Club Special) </div></blockquote> A much better match than expected but Minamoto has al;ways seemed willing to bump for his vic…next challengers! I’m so waiting for Xtinction to be selected and Ichigawa to come out under the mask.<img alt=":)" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>'Blind' or as Bent as a 3000 Yen note? </div></blockquote> Can’t he be both? <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Result: S.H.I.P win a Captains Fall match in 27:36 when Kuro-Nadeshiko's Captain (RIKU) was eliminated. </div></blockquote> A surprisingly good match, everyone seems to be raising their game for the PPV. More KURO antics, more cheating refs. But..did Incognito revive too late? Or did he try to show that RIKU should never have been the captain. With that mask he could have been watching the whole time, smirking to himself and no one would know. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Result: Zodiac & Talisman [w] bt Prime Dragon [L] & Tian Long in 16:21 via pinfall (Steins Gate) </div></blockquote> This was a hard match to pick. It feels like PD and Tian are on the fading list, though. While surely Talisman’s showboating is going to bite them at some point. But if not with such a great team as this, I’m not sure who can take advantage. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Result: Hiroto Nori [w] bt Hyotaru Ichigawa [L] in 23:15 via pinfall (Flying Bonito) </div></blockquote> Tiger continues to raise the bar on fan service. I wonder when Nori’s hair will finally grow back? Ah, he explains it later. I was wondering. I’m mildly shocked $ugimura is reffing this. Good job of keeping me guessing in this match, excellent back and forth action. It was easy to see either winning. Ichigawa has issues with Minamoto and Nori has issues with Sairento, so either winning gives a big boost to their feud. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>'Kick out Nori-chan, kick out damn it!' 'Don't you dare give up Nori-Chan, Keep Fighting!' With my love reaching him, my Nori-Chan WILL win this tournament, and show that he is the bestest in the world. </div></blockquote> The “or else” rule is still in effect. Outstanding card, very happy to see Diaspora back!

Or did he try to show that RIKU should never have been the captain. With that mask he could have been watching the whole time, smirking to himself and no one would know. </div></blockquote> Happy I managed to plant that seed of doubt in people's minds. The thing people also have to remember is that Incognito is owed a Super Junior title shot at some point- he's seen what has happened to other Kuro members that have gone up against Sairento, but is he really the type to continue playing second fiddle? <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> This was a hard match to pick. It feels like PD and Tian are on the fading list, though. While surely Talisman’s showboating is going to bite them at some point. But if not with such a great team as this, I’m not sure who can take advantage.</div></blockquote> Regarding Past His Prime Dragon and Tian Long In The Tooth, both are definitely on the decline list, and if it wasn't for the fact one of them is the boss and one of them is practically is best friend in the business, then I would be moving them down the midcard more rapidly and having them put over the likes of Dark Wolf II and Junichi Matsuo. But I actually enjoy the challenge of keeping these past their sell by date legends strong/relevant. As for Whispered (Zodiac & Talisman) I have built them up so strong, that it's hard to see anyone else beating them for the titles unless one of them turns on the other. At the very least the tension between them, at least sows enough seeds of doubt into people's minds when it comes to the title matches. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> Good job of keeping me guessing in this match, excellent back and forth action. It was easy to see either winning. Ichigawa has issues with Minamoto and Nori has issues with Sairento, so either winning gives a big boost to their feud. </div></blockquote> Let's be honest with the two major singles feuds being Nori vs Sairento and Minamoto vs Ichigawa, this was always going to the most logical final, but I'm hoping I did a good enough job of throwing a few people off the scent. Keen eyed people would have observed that Nori had the toughest en route to winning the cup.... 1st Round: GUSHIKEN, 2nd Round: Incognito, 1/4 Finals: Talisman, 1/2 Finals: Koto Arato, Final: Hyotaru Ichigawa.... It doesn't really get much tougher than that, which is always a surefire flag towards someone winning the tournament!

'Will Return Stronger!'

<div style="text-align:left;">Following his defeat to Hiroto Nori in the Grand Master Cup Finals, Silver Kings leader and former Heavyweight Champion Hyotaru Ichigawa has stated that he needs to take a break from the ring, but has vowed that when he does return that he will come back stronger both physically and mentally and that he still has the Heavyweight Championship and Eikichi Minamoto in his sights.

<div style="text-align:left;">As stated in a previous post this is the simplified format for minor tour shows, which can also double as a predictions form (if you wish to do so).

* In case you are wondering- Okinawa is not included as a region in the game but I have included them as part of the Shikoku region. In terms of geography Okinawa is closest to Kyushu, but in terms of importance/pop would be on the same level as Shikoku (which is the next nearest region in terms of location).

June Wrestling News and Notes

Title Changes:

Core ended the 6 month long AWF World Title reign of Drake Richards, to win the championship for the first time.

Anarquia, Solaris and Luis Gonzalez defeated Aeronaut, Prodigio II and Super Cool to win the vacant ILL Campeones de Trios title. This is the second time Solaris has won the Trios title, his first reign coming back in 2007, but this is the first championship gold both Anarquia and Gonzalez have won in ILL.

After nearly five months of chasing, Abdullah Hachirobei won back the LETHAL Chalice of Blood from Killer Inoue to begin his second reign as the champion.

Dr Texas and 13Teen are now three time LETHAL Unity of Blood champions after ending the half year long reign of Fujimaro and Gekko Otsu.

Hirings and Firings:

ECXW have added Corbin Trent to their roster and is expected to be given a high profile push.

It looks as though EEP are tightening their belts, with the releases of ringside managers Shahira and JULIO.

Veteran Champagne has been signed up by ILL and will split his time between ILL and the recently formed EEP.

Backstage Gossip:

AWF Starlet Bonnie Rain gave an interview to a local cable tv session, and she spoke about the respect she has for fellow wrestler Corporal Punishment.

In an interview conducted with local cable TV channel Erik Wayne indicated that the animosity between himself and Joey Devastation is in fact real.

Nightmare Clown gave a radio interview and alluded to the fact that Adorable Cassandro actually lives the Exotico gimmick and that he feels uncomfortable around Cassandro- suggesting at one point that Cassandro made a 'pass' at him.

Tigerkinney · February 22, 2014

Meant to post the wrestling news prior to the preview cards for the next show. Decided to do a more simplified version of that as well, typing out the contract extensions does get a bit tedious!

Have primarily been simulating the game this week. I recently purchased a new computer, as my old one was starting to become slow. Anyway turns out that it's right faff to transfer TEW to the new machine, so I plugged in the new one this week and have been playing the game up and until the possible cut off point for the diary (which right now will be 1 year of game time).

Next show will be up next week.

Zergon · February 22, 2014

Okinawa Sports City, Naha, Okinawa

Final (30 Min Limit): Eikichi Minamoto & Talisman vs Taheji Ebisawa & Tian Long

Minamoto won´t lose this one.

Semi Final (30 Min Limit): Sariento, GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono vs Kotei Yamato, Oda Yamawaki & Hiro Date

I could see this one going either way but Sairento is the top guy on this one so I go with him.

5th Match (20 Min Limit): Team Ganbatte! (Koto Arato & Go Takashi) vs Ebi Kavidar & Chief Butler Wolfe

Arato is the top guy here.

4th Match (20 Min Limit): Junichi Matsuo, Meido Machine & HUSTLE Umiro vs Incognito, Blood Spider Jr & Soh Terajima

Incognito makes this one a bit closer than it would otherwise be but I still give it to wacky guys.

3rd Match (15 Min Limit): Nyan Nyan Neko Man vs Paul Crowley

Crowley will help Neko Man to take a nap here.

2nd Match (15 Min Limit): Shintaro Hideki vs ????

Doubt that the mystery guy would be big enough name to warrant a win over Hideki since any big name debut would likely happen in bigger shows.

1st Match (15 Min Limit): Counting Sheep (Aki Shimizudani & Kan Mitubishi) vs Dark Wolf II & Horiuchi Inokuma

Not much question on this one.

Match 0 (10 Min Limit): Kohei Hidaka vs Xtinction

Xtinction doesn´t win.

__________________________________________________ _________

Nagoya Central Gym, Nagoya, Chubu

Final (30 Min Limit): Sairento & RIKU vs Hiroto Nori & Oda Yamawaki

This one is one of the few matches here that I could see going either way but I give it to Sairento simply because Nori won the Cup.

Semi Final (30 Min Limit): Eikichi Minamoto, Dark Wolf II & Zodiac vs Prime Dragon, Tian Long & Taheji Ebisawa

I did hesitade a bit on this one but with Minamoto here, I don´t see heels losing this one even if Zodiac isn´t on the same page.

6th Match (30 Min Limit): Team Ganbatte! (Koto Arato & Go Takashi) vs Udon Noodle Killers (GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono)

I could see this one going either way but I figure that Team Ganbette! is bit higher on the pecking order.

5th Match (20 Min Limit): Horiuchi Inokuma vs Shintaro Hideki

I just rate Hideki higher than Inokuma.

4th Match (20 Min Limit): Incognito, Blood Spider Jr & Soh Terajima vs Hideaki Kasuse, Kohei Hidaka & Yachi Kotara

Kuro job guys (plus Incognito) are still better than common jobbers.

3rd Match (15 Min Limit): Junichi Matsuo vs Xtinction

Xtinction still doesn´t win.

2nd Match (15 Min Limit): Ebi Kavidar vs Nyan Nyan Neko Man

Another nap time for Neko Man.

1st Match (15 Min Limit): Counting Sheep (Aki Shimizudani & Kan Mitubishi) vs MOE! MONEY! (Meido Machine & HUSTLE Umiro)

The name Counting Sheep tells everything you need to know about this team.

Match 0 (10 Min Limit): Hiro Date vs ????

Again mystery man won´t likely be a big enough name to warrant a win.

<div style="text-align:center;">Chronicles of Takayuki- The Okinawan Udon Blues

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_JunichiMatsuo.jpghttp://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HUSTLEUmiro.jpg

Common Ground: Oppai Enthusiasm?

</div>

As I made my way to the office to have a meeting with Prime Dragon, regarding booking plans etc, I overheard a conversation Junichi Matsuo was having with HUSTLE Umiro.

' Woah! yeah Okinawa, and you know what that means....the beach!'

' Yeah I feel ya homie!'

'And you know what else means the beach means....sweet looking babes in bikini's!'

' Yeah homie, I got some new rhymes and some of those pieces o ass can be shaking it in my video'

'Of course we all know we've got a real fine piece hanging with us'

' Who ya talkin' 'bout homie'

'Mio Mio man, surely you seen what she's packing......'

At that point Matsuo-san made the gesture as if he were holding two large and heavy melons against his chest.If I were him I really wouldn't go there, and he's probably thankful I was the one walking round the corner and not Mio Mio herself.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_ChojiroOno.jpg

Distraught

</div>

It was at that point a dejected looking Chojiro Ono dragged himself towards me...

'Please don't tell me we are going to Okinawa, I mean I don't think my family can take it if he comes....He's going to wipe us out!'

I was about to ask why Ono was so set against going back to his home Island, and then it dawned on me, the last time we were there Hiroto Nori won a competition where he could have unlimited refills of food at the Ono family's Udon noodle restaurant. Now this would be fine for normal people, who have a limit but Nori appears to have the digestive equivalent of the TARDIS.

I could understand Ono-san's predicament, but there was no going back, we had booked the venue in Okinawa, Okinawa Sports City and Hiroto Nori was booked to be on the show and coming off his Grand Master Cup victory is one of our major draws.

Blazing Eye Tour #19</div>

<div style="text-align:center;"> Tuesday 3rd July 2012,

Okinawa Sports City, Naha, Okinawa (1,848 No Vacancy)

</div>

Match 0: Kohei Hidaka vs Xtinction

The match began with some back and forth chain wrestling exchanges with Hidaka getting a two count off a Flying Cross Body Press, until Xtinction drop-kicked Hidaka to the floor and then ended up wiping himself out with a Super-Spot X (Shooting Star Press) to the floor.

Somehow Xtinction managed to roll under the ring and then come out the other side, to then take Hidaka by surprise with a La Magistral Cradle. 'Red Dog' managed to kick out of that but then got caught with the X.L.E (Tilt-A-Whirl DDT), as the mysterious masked man picked up a rare victory.

Result: Xtinction [w] bt Kohei Hidaka [L] in 5:41 via pinfall (X.L.E)

Rating: 53

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

Main Show

</div>

<div style="text-align:center;"> Match 1: Counting Sheep (Aki Shimizudani & Kan Mitsubishi) vs

Dark Wolf II & Horiuchi Inokuma

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_AkiShimizudani.jpg & http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_KanMitsubishi.jpg

vs

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_DarkWolfII.jpg & http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HoriuchiInokuma.jpg</div>

Basic back and forth to begin with, until Inokuma ducked a Power Punch attempt from Mitsubishi and then planted 'Fist of Granite' with a Swinging Neckbreaker. Inokuma then did some posturing instead of keeping on his man, and when he went for the Sea-Change Mitsubishi was able to counter into a Brainbuster.

Counting Sheep then worked over Inokuma in their corner, but Shimizudani missed a Running Shoulder Block, which gave Inokuma the opening to tag out to Dark Wolf II. A sequence of two lariats and then a Wolf's Call (Sliding Lariat Pin) brought a close two count, with Mitsubishi coming to Shimizudani's aid.

However Mitsubishi was soon neutralized by Inokuma, and when 'the Howling Menace' placed Shimizudani in Holo's Dream (Three Quarter Nelson Choke) that was enough to secure the win for the Temple pairing.

Result: Dark Wolf II [w] & Horiuchi Inokuma bt Aki Shimizudani [L] & Kan Mitsubishi in 6:41 via submission (Holo's Dream)

Rating: 51

Mio Mio's Mochi: Can they really do no better than just a pair of Black Trunks, it's like these two no hopers have given up or something. (Mio Mio referring to Counting Sheep's generic ring attire)

Takayuki Balls: It's a shame Dark Wolf II wasn't in the ring for longer, because the match definitely picked up when he was in there instead of Inokuma (who has been showing that he is still very green on his this tour).

<div style="text-align:center;">Match 2: Shintaro Hideki vs 'Some Random Dude'

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_ShintaroHideki.jpg vs http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/TonyChi.jpg</div>

Hideki's opponent turns out to be a complete unknown, more the point the 'wrestler' in question is standing in the ring looking as though he has no clue as to what to do and looks as though he has just wondered into the ring completely lost.

Hideki was also at a loss as to how to handle his opponent, who just stood there with a vacant expression on his face, before uttering out a single word 'Chi?' with an equally vacant delivery to the expression that was plastered across his face.

In the end Hideki thought sod it, and nailed 'Chi?' with a Superkick. Hideki then turned Chi? over into a Boston Crab, and with the strange newcomer not fighting back referee Ochida called for the bell.

Result: Shintaro Hideki [w] bt 'Chi?' [L] in 1:09 via submission (Boston Crab)

Rating: 58

Mio Mio's Mochi: Well that was an odd...erm....I mean could you even call that a wrestling match?!

Takayuki Balls: This was more of a curious angle than a proper match, which the fans responded to surprisingly well. Must be something in the Okinawan waters.

Match 3: Nyan Nyan Neko Man vs Paul Crowley

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_ShikiHirasialt_zps5ae04e13.jpg?t=1359837837 vs http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_PaulCrowley.jpg</div>

Neko Man decided to take a cat-nap before the match had even started. Far from impressed Crowley woke up the 'Feline Enigma' with some stomps. That sent Neko Man crazy, who proceeded to nail Crowley with a Running Knee Lift and then plant the 'New Prince of Old School' with a Reverse STO for a two count.

Neko Man then tossed Crowley into a corner, and then decided to hit repeated clotheslines into the corner....until he wore himself out and decided to go back to have a cat nap.

Crowley then tried to get his opponent turned over for a pin, but couldn't budge the curled up Neko Man.....Referee Ochida then began a ten count, but Crowley wasn't satisfied winning the match that way and stomped away on Neko Man again.

This time Crowley was ready for Neko Man going 'crazy' and nailed the 'Feline Enigma' with a European Uppercut. A Northern Lights Suplex then brought a two count, before transitioning into the Prince's Lock (Arm Trap Crossface) to force the tap out.

Result: Paul Crowley [w] bt Nyan Nyan Neko Man [L] in 6:54 via submission (Prince's Lock)

Rating: 55

Mio Mio's Mochi: One thing you shouldn't do is try and wake a cat up from their nap, they get rather tetchy about these things.

Takayuki Balls: This wasn't bad for a lower card match, mixing comedy with some half decent wrestling.

Many of the fans in attendance had their fun spoilt when the Kuro-Nadeshiko crew interrupted the Tuturu! teams bishojo assisted entrance, meaning that the girls wouldn't get to see 'Sexy Zone' do his special dance.

After the ambush it the Kuro team had the advantage in the early going managing to isolate Meido Machine. However Meido managed to throw up the 'Moe Time' heart symbol before Terajima was about to nail him with a Black Box Shot.

Meido managed to get the tag to HUSTLE Umiro, who cleaned house for a bit but soon found himself overwhelmed by the numbers game. However with a Chocolate Parfait awaiting him, HUSTLE managed to kick out of a Tombstone Piledriver from Incognito, and then block the Eastern Misery (Forward Russian Legsweep) from Terajima, before scooping the 'Cloaked Assassin' up for a Fireman's Carry Gutbuster.

HUSTLE then got the tag into Junichi Matsuo, who proceeded to place Terajima in the Octopus Stretch following a headscissors, before deciding to change things up and plant the 'Cloaked Assassin' with a Falcon Arrow. Blood Spider Jr made the save, before the match broke down- resulting in MOE! MONEY! hitting their signature double snap suplex spot on Spider and Incognito, before everyone was sent to the floor and concluding with Matsuo wiping everyone out with a Corkscrew Plancha.

The two teams then traded momentum- with the finishing stretch resulting in Junichi Matsuo taking down Blood Spider Jr with a Springboard Tornado DDT and then nailing Terajima with a Tornado Kick, after the Delinquents had taken out HUSTLE with a Double Team Lifting DDT. Matsuo then headed up top and landed the Heavy Rotation (450 Senton) to secure the victory for the Tuturu! crew.

Post match, Junichi Matsuo served up a celebratory dance routine for his adoring fangirls!

Result: Junichi Matsuo [w], Meido Machine & HUSTLE Umiro bt Incognito, Soh Terajima [L] & Blood Spider Jr in 11:35 via pinfall (Heavy Rotation)

Rating: 66

Mio Mio's Mochi: Look I'm only impressed by one man and that's my Nori-Chan, that sleazeballs gyrating does not impress me one bit. It's so cringeworthy I'm tempted to support the trio of dim wits that follow that Sairento creep around.

Takayuki Balls: Solid midcard Junior Division six man, with everyone doing what you would expect from them, MOE! MONEY! bring the comedy, Salty Delinquents bring along the sneakiness and Matsuo/Incognito add some genuine in-ring quality to their respective teams.

Team Ganbatte! controlled the early going until Kavidar sneaked in a Forty Thieves (Low Blow Sunset Flip) on Takashi. 'Nippon Hart' managed to kick out of that but then found himself isolated and worked over in the Ambassadors Club corner. However a High Angle Belly to Back Suplex from Wolfe followed by a Corkscew Moonsault from Kavidar and then being placed into the Magic Carpet (Camel Clutch Surfboard) were not enough to break Takashi's fighting spirit and put him away.

Takashi remained isolated however, and after being nailed with a Corner Clothesline from Wolfe, flopped out onto the canvas where Kavidar saw the opportunity to go for the Sheik From Above (Double Jump Moonsault) only for Takashi to roll out of the way at the last second. 'Nippon Hart' then took down Wolfe with the Headless Ride (Running Neckbreaker) before getting the tag out to Koto Arato.

'Strong Dreamer' cleaned house, sending Kavidar out of the ring with an Arato-Lariat.....Wolfe however did manage to fire back with the Hunting Strike (Discus Elbow Strike). Arato however managed to shake it off, and then managed to block Wolfe's attempt at an X-PLODER and then counter with a Uranage.

Arato then slapped on the Dreamland (Rear Naked Choke) and with Takashi able to hold off Kavidar from making the save, referee Ochida called for the bell.

Result: Koto Arato [w] & Go Takashi bt Ebi Kavidar & Chief Butler Wolfe [L] in 9:24 via submission (Dreamland)

Rating: 73

Mio Mio's Mochi: As much as this Wolfe guy tries to make out that he doesn't like wearing the butler get-up, I reckon he actually enjoys it. Why else does he put up with the aristotwats barking orders at him all the time?!....I know if I were him I'd tell them where to stick their tea and cake and it wouldn't be the hole in their heads.

Takayuki Balls: This match followed a tried and tested formula with Takashi enduring a lot of punishment, before getting the hot-tag to Arato. There was nothing out of the ordinary about the match, but it was executed well and the fans were into it from start to finish. It also helps that Arato is one of the most popular members of the roster, and that with economical effort he can get the fans invested into his matches.

<div style="text-align:center;"> Match 6: Sairento, GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono vs

Kotei Yamato, Oda Yamawaki & Hiro Date

To absolutely no one's surprise the match began with some wild brawling, ending up with Yamato and Date being taken out and Yamawaki ending up isolated in the Kuro-Nadeshiko corner. After enduring an extended beating from the Kuro trio, Yamawaki managed to roll out of the way of a Tsunami (Big Splash) from Ono and then looked to tag out, only for Sairento and GUSHIKEN to have knocked his two tag partners off the apron, referee Sugimura turning a blinde eye yet again to the blatant rule breaking from the heel trio.

It looked as though a Double team Uranage from the Udon Noodle Killers followed by a Diving Double Stomp from Sairento, was going to finish Yamawaki off, but 'Fearless' managed to kick out. That led to a frustrated Sairento calling for the Absolute Terror (Knee Strike To The Face) but Yawawaki saw it coming and countered with a leg-whip before turning Sairento over into a single leg crab.

Sairento quickly fought his way out of the that but then got taken down with a flurry of leaping lariats, which bought Yamawaki enough time to get the tag into Hiro Date. A fresh Date unloaded rapid fire forearms and headbutts on Sairento, before dumping the 'Silent Reaper' with the Rejection II (Backdrop Suplex). That looked to have got the three count but GUSHIKEN was able to make the last ditch save.

Sairento then showed his resillience as the S.H.I.P trio combined on a double team suplex/missile drop-kick combo, and then Yamato drilled Sairento with the Gurren Driver (Scoop Slam Piledriver) but once again Sairento was saved by one of the Udon Noodle Killers.

Eventually the Noodle Killers interference became enough of a distraction, that Date and Yamawaki fully confronted them only for Date to be planted with an Okinawa Battle Bomb (Spinning Power Bomb) and Yamawaki to be knocked clean out with a GUSHIKEN Smash (Charging Elbow Smash).

GUSHIKEN then delivered another knock out blow to Yamato, whilst wearing what looked to be a suspiciously loaded elbow pad. The legal man Sairento then lifted the lifeless Yamato upon his shoulders before drilling 'Pin Point' with the Ryuk's Apple (Cuthroat Inverted Death Valley Driver).

Result: Sairento [w], GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono bt Kotei Yamato [L], Oda Yamawaki & Hiro Date in 16:10 via pinfall (Ryuk's Apple)

Rating: 73

Mio Mio's Mochi: Have I mentioned before how much I hate that masked bastard, it's a shame that my Nori-Chan is willing to wait until November to get his hands on him, but once he does that Sairento asshole is going to be in for one hell of a beating.

Takayuki Balls: Typical Kuro vs S.H.I.P formula six man tag, but they work the formula really well and the crowd are always invested in the matches, at least when Kuro are headed by Sairento. Take Sairento away from Kuro and they are always going to look signicantly weaker when up against S.H.I.P. however with him leading any Kuro team, they always look a threat.

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

</div>

Prior to the main event Eikichi Minamoto picked up a microphone, and proceeded to run down Hyotaru Ichigawa, telling everyone that the 'old has been was clearly running scarred of Minamoto'.

Tian Long in response said that this wasn't the case, and that Ichigawa was going away to come back stronger and when he does Minamoto better be prepared for the dismantling he was about to receive. Talisman chimed in to say that the only dismantling about to happen was that of some long in the tooth old fogey.

Long was then about to go off on some 'youth of today' rant, when Ebisawa reminded him that not all of the younger generation were disrespectful punks like Minamoto and Talisman, and vowed to show his elders that he was ready to step it up and do them proud.

Minamoto and Talisman then mercilessly chuckled at Ebisawa's firey statement of intent.

<div style="text-align:center;">Match 7: Eikichi Minamoto & Talisman vs

Taheji Ebisawa & Tian Long

Ebisawa took immediate offence at being mocked by Minamoto and went right after the Heavyweight Champion with a rapid fire deluge of fore-arm smashes. In fact a fired up Ebisawa completely overwhelmed 'Rumble Heart' in the early going and after planting the champion with a Swinging Side Slam, Minamoto begged off and tagged out to Talisman.

Tian Long desperate to ram Talisman's disrespect down the arrogant high flyers throat, asked to be tagged in by Ebisawa. Showing his experience Long did not come at Talisman all guns blazing and managed to lure the Junior Tag Champion into making a mistake, before grounding 'The Second Coming' with a Figure Four Leglock.

Talisman managed to get to the ropes, but the submission hold had slowed the 'Second Coming down' and despite taking down Long with a Spinning Sit Out Side Sleeper Slam, he was unable to build up more offense or get across to make the tag allowing for Long to recover and fling Talisman overhead with a release Dragon Suplex.

Long then tagged Ebisawa in, and the Silver Kings pair worked over Talisman in their corner, combinining on a Scoop Powerslam/Senton Splash combo for a two count. Ebisawa then applied a bearhug to Talisman, before flinging the 'Second Coming' across the ring with the Belly2Helly (Release Belly to Belly Suplex)......

Talisman then staggered up to his feet, but just as it looked like Ebisawa was about to turn the Junior Tag Champion inside out with a Dozer (Spear), he was tripped up from the apron by Minamoto.

Minamoto's intervention lead to a recovery from Talisman, who duly planted Ebisawa with a spinning headscissors facebuster before, tagging Minamoto back into the match. The 'Heavyweight Champion' then proceeded to 'humiliate' Ebisawa with paint brush slaps, but all that did was fire ' Forceful Dagger' up and the young powerhouse rose up and began to fire off another heavy barrage of fore-arms before dumping Minamoto on his backside with a Lariat for a two count.

Ebisawa then looked to set up for the Ebisawa Complex (Swinging Side Slam Backbreaker), but Minamoto managed to sneak in an eye rake and then tried for the Harima DDT (Double Arm DDT) only for Ebisawa to fight out of it, and counter with a back body drop.

Minamoto then staggered into a Sit Out Full Nelson Atomic Drop before Ebisawa turned Minamoto over into the Okinawan Crab (Reverse Boston Crab)....

The crowd were pleading for Minamoto to tap out, but just as it looked as though Ebisawa was going to get a massive break through victory, Talisman had other idea's, breaking up the submission. Ebisawa then intercepted Talisman, before setting up for a Gutwrench Powerbomb.....

But as everyone knows by now, you don't try to powerbomb Talisman and like so many others before him Ebisawa found his face planted firmly onto the canvas courtesy of the Higurarashi (Counter Front Flip Facebuster).....

Talisman however was not the legal man and it became a race to see who could tag out first, that being said with Ebisawa on the wrong side of the ring the Temple pair had the advantage and Minamoto was able to get the tag to Talisman, who then proceeded to mock Ebisawa before snapping off a Standing Corkscew Shooting Star Press.

Talisman then appeared shocked when Ebisawa kicked out, before stomping away on 'Forceful Dagger' and heading up top, but Ebisawa was able to rise back to his feet and then sent Talisman crashing back into the ring with an Avalanche Death Valley Driver.

However Ebisawa was too worn down to take full advantage and simply looked to tag out to Tian Long. The 'Imperial One' then tried to set up for the Emperor Driver (Sit Out Side Powerslam), but Talisman was able to fight his way out of it, only for Long to then plant Talisman with a Chokeslam, before heading up top.

However just as it looked like Long was about to take flight, Minamoto managed to sneak over and cause enough of a distraction for Long to fight the Heavyweight Champion off leading to Talisman sending Long crashing back into the ring with a slingshot hurracanrana.

Talisman then followed that up with the God Knows (Spinning Headscissors into a Crucifix Pin), which proved to be a close enough nearfall for Ebisawa to intervene and make the save. Talisman then tried to drop-kick Ebisawa out of the ring, only to be leveled with a lariat.

That allowed for Long to tag Ebisawa back into the match, who then whipped Talisman hard into the corner, only for the 'Second Coming' to use the momentum to pop over the top-rope and then plant Ebisawa with a springboard Front Flip Stunner. Talisman then managed to bring Minamoto back into the match, who then proceeded to rock Ebisawa with a Decaptitator (Running Bicycle Kick). 'Forceful Dagger' then staggered into the Akira Takanao Tea Club Special (Tilt-A-Whirl Headscissors Am Bar) and it wasn't long before Ebisawa was tapping out.

Result: Eikichi Minamoto [w] & Talisman bt Taheji Ebisawa [L] & Tian Long In 17:28 via submission (Akira Takano Tea Club Special)

Ratings: 70 for pre-match 'argument', 74 for the match.

Mio Mio's Mochi: Anyone could have predicted that was going to happen as soon as I tried the powerbomb. Temple of Douche might be annoying, but they have every right to mock Ebisawa-san after that dumb move (Mio Mio's reaction to Ebisawa trying to powerbomb Talisman)

Takayuki Balls: The match was solid enough as a 'house show' main event and the lead in verbal spat between the two teams, added a bit of spark to the match.

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

</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Overall: 72

</div>

Takayuki's Final Verdict: We don't go to Okinawa with the intention of putting on blow-away shows, it's not a major market for us. However we do still intend to put on shows that are entertaining and the smaller markets such as Shikoku, Okinawa and Tohoku give an opportunity to midcarders/young lions to work in more high profile matches away from the pressure of key markets such as Tokyo and the Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto triangle in Kansai.

This probably was one of our weakest shows all year, but in terms of the market it was placed in you can call it a success.

In terms of geography Okinawa is closest to Kyushu, but in terms of importance/pop would be on the same level as Shikoku (which is the next nearest region in terms of location).

<div style="text-align:center;">Chronicles of Takayuki- Chi?

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

The man responsible for DIASPORA's latest discovery

</div>

Prior to making the trip to Okinawa, Zodiac said that he had stumbled across this promising young wrestler, and that we should give him a chance. So taking Zodiac-san's advice into account I booked his 'promising young talent' as an enhancement talent against Junior Division midcarder Shintaro Hideki.

After a very odd debut, where Zodiac's great find, didn't reel off a single bit of offence and bizarrely uttered a single word 'Chi', I had to question the DIASPORA share holder's judgement.

'Look I know, right now he isn't exactly the finished article' pleaded Zodiac, as I questioned him as to why this 'joker' had somehow managed to wonder onto one of our shows.

Well he certainly has it correct that his 'great find' isn't exactly the finished article, though the term understatement comes to mind. Seriously where did he find this time waster?!

'Believe me, he'll come good, you've just got to stick with me on this one' replied Zodiac rather frantically as he continued to plead Chi?'s case.

On evidence of his performance against Hideki-san, or rather lack there-of, I would need a lot more convincing than that. Once again, seriously, where did Zodiac find this guy?!

'OK, OK, OK.... I'll admit he's not a trained wrestler, I found him asleep amongst the rubbish behind a gym in Osaka.'

Well that explains it, now can we stop wasting time on this chancer and actually book real wrestlers for our shows.

'Look I know he ain't a wrestler yet, but you've got to give him a chance to become one'

I was starting to wonder if Zodiac-san was in trouble and this Chi? fellow was involved in what unsavoury business Zodiac-san had gotten himself mixed up in. I mean the Yakuza do happen to have a rather noticeable presence in Osaka, and that's where Zodiac said he happened to find this guy right?

'Oh I assure you, it's nothing like that, neither I nor Chi? are in any sort of trouble'

As much as Zodiac tried to assure me, it all seemed rather suspicious and besides what was this Chi? doing asleep amongst a pile of refuse sacks. Sort of place where you would find some hungover salaryman who had a few too many sake's during a post work drinking session. On evidence of his wrestling ability, or rather lack there-of this Chi? probably was some drunken salaryman and the reason he could only utter the word Chi? was because he had downed so much sake, that his brain was still addled from over consumption.

'Please do not label him as some drunk, I assure you that he's a good kid'

What evidence did Zodiac have on that, he only found him half comatosed, and sprawled amongst rubbish!

' Look I just have this feeling, you've just got to trust me on this one.....Please, my hunches are normally correct, I just got this feeling from him, this feeling that he's going to be something great'

So basically Zodiac took one look at this Chi? and decided we should hire him on a 'hunch' that he could be something great.

'Oh I would actually say it's more than a hunch, it was as though I could that Chi? had some unlocked potential to be something great and that he had an undeniable sense of destiny'

I don't know why and it really doesn't follow any sense of logic what so ever but I agreed that Chi? could be kept on provided, that he get some proper training.

'Oh I assure you that all he needs his the guidance to bring out his overwhelming potential, and become a powerful force for DIASPORA!'

I still was far from convinced, but truth be told after over a year as the DIASPORA head booker, I had become acclimatized to how things work around here, and that what would be seen as abnormal anywhere else, was a regular occurrence within the world I now inhabited.

<div style="text-align:center;">Chronicles of Takayuki- Those Never Ending Udon Noodle Blues

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

Who ate all the noodles?, who at the all noodles?

You fat.....

</div>

A distraught looking Chojiro Ono skulked towards me and without opening his mouth I could already guess what this was going to be about....

' My parents are at breaking point, they can't cope with this demand for Udon Noodles, that 'monster' is cleaning us out man, and whilst he's in there we're losing business and not making a single yen. It's gotten to the point that I'm going to have to give up several months wages and live on a portion of rice each day'

Well cutting down on his own food intake, might actually help Ono-san trim down and lose some of that excess baggage he's been carrying, so there may be a silver-lining to the predicament he finds himself in.

'Lets get one thing straight I ain't fat, but I can't understand how the hell that Nori beast ain't bigger than me, the amount of food he consumes, it's so frustrating. Flaming doctor's have even told me I need to watch what I eat, but that Nori can eat anything he damn well likes and do you know he's made to suffer for it?!'

I already knew the answer to his rhetorical question, I didn't need it spelling out for me. I am however equally baffled as he is, as to how Nori-san can eat so much and not gain a single bit of weight, but I'm pretty sure Ono-san isn't paying much attention to his doctor's advice about his own food intake given the size of him.

'Really why did you have to bring him along! He wasn't even wrestling on the show, for goodness sake, a complete waste of time bringing him over. You should have left him behind, then my families Udon Noodle Business wouldn't be close to ruin!'

Ono-san become redder and redder in the face looked as though he was about to pop, he was getting so worked up, and my explanation that Nori-san was there to do promotional work and let fans pose beside him with the Grand Master Cup, did little to quash his despair

'Aaargh couldn't you have him do that somewhere else....Oh I give up, what's the point of complaining, it's not as though you care or are even listening!'

Ono-san then stormed off, seemingly more disgruntled than when he stormed up to me whinging about Nori-san coming to Okinawa. Do I feel for him and his family? Of course I do, it's got to be hard on them, that they're feeding this customer for free and that customer happens to have the world's biggest appetite but there was no point whining to me about it, what the hell could I do?

Besides if truth be told, I would rather listen to Ono-san's whimpering than face the consequences of separating Mio Mio from her beloved 'Nori-Chan'.

Blazing Eye Tour #20

Thursday 5th July, Nagoya Central Gym, Nagoya, Chubu

(2'000 Super No Vacancy)

</div>

Match 0: Hiro Date vs The Masked Trialist

Wearing a generic black mask, 'The Masked Trialist' was obviously a different wrestler from the bizarre Chi? that Hideki faced in Okinawa, as he was a bit taller and looked to carry a little bit more weight. TMT actually managed to get some offence in against Date and looked competitive, working a hard hitting power-based style not too dissimilar to Koto Arato and even got a two count with a Powerbomb.

Date however managed to soak up what TMT threw at him and in the end managed to dump the newcomer with the Rejection II (Backdrop Suplex)

Result: Hiro Date [w] bt The Masked Trialist [L] in 6:01 via pinfall

Rating: 55

Takayuki Balls: This was a little bit better than the usual pre-show match featuring the likes of Counting Sheep or The Forgotten. 'The Masked Trialist' is a young heavyweight we think can help bring some extra depth to that division and could have a bright future ahead of him.

</div>

Counting Sheep interrupted MOE! MONEY's! entrance and then proceeded to isolate HUSTLE Umiro in their corner, which lead to several fans heading for the toilets and merchandise stalls whilst they dished out basic heel beatdown offence.

Meido however had a chocolate parfait ready and waiting for HUSTLE and the Ducker Diver 'Parfait'd Up!' before getting the tag to Meido. After that the Tuturu! pair in control, taking out Shimizudani with a double team snap suplex, which of course lead to their signature call out of their team name, before HUSTLE planted Mitsubishi with the Hustle Brother (Legsweep DDT) to secure the victory.

Result: Meido Machine & HUSTLE Umiro [w] bt Aki Shimizudani & Kan Mitsubishi [L] in 5:43 via pinfall (Hustle Brother)

Rating: 45

Mio Mio's Mochi: zzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzz (Mio Mio has discovered the cure of insomnia)

Takayuki Balls: This probably should have been on the pre-show, because the fans did not care about this one bit....more to the point they don't care about Counting Sheep, the only heat they generate is that unfortunate kind of 'Go Away' heat. I'm not into actually firing guys, so as long as they are contracted with us we will keep them around, but they really are two of the dullest wrestlers on the planet.

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

<div style="text-align:center;">Match 2: Ebi Kavidar vs Nyan Nyan Neko Man

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_EbiKadivar.jpg vs http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_ShikiHirasialt_zps5ae04e13.jpg?t=1359837837</div>

Neko Man decided that instead of wrestling that he would take a cat nap just as the bell rang. Kavidar wanted to get the match over and done with, so the 'High Sheik' tried to turn the 'Feline Enigma' over for a quick pin.....

After too much proding and poking, an incensed Neko Man woke up and proceeded to go ballistic on Kavidar like a feral cat whose territory had just been disturbed by a rival. That lead to Neko getting a two count with a Neko Pounce, but Kavidar was able to weather the storm and eventually the 'Feline Enigma' ran out of steam before Kavidar spiked Neko with a standing Tornado DDT and then followed up with the Sheik From Above (Double Jump Moonsault) to secure the victory.

Result: Ebi Kavidar [w] bt Nyan Nyan Neko Man [L] in 6:56 via pinfall (Sheik From Above)

Rating: 59

Mio Mio's Mochi: What have I told you...you shouldn't disturb a cat whilst it's sleeping!

Takayuki Balls: That turned out to be a pretty entertaining lower card match. Thing with Neko Man, is that behind the goofy gimmick there is a pretty solid wrestler, and the few minutes of actual wrestling we got here was actually pretty decent. Of course it also helps that Kavidar is no slouch either.

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

<div style="text-align:center;">Match 3: Junichi Matsuo vs Xtinction

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_JunichiMatsuo.jpg vs http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Xtinction.jpg</div>

Once again Matsuo made his way to the ring accompanied by his entourage of buxom beauties. Matsuo then proceeded to treat the fans to one of his customary dance routines but failed to notice that Xtinction had sneaked in as one of the dancers, who then proceeded to cheap shot Matsuo from behind.

Xtinction was then all over 'Sexy Zone' like a rash, racking up a series of two counts with a Front Flip Cutter, Spinning Bulldog and Diving Facebuster. That lead to Matsuo going for a powder and looking to console himself with something feminine, at which point Mio Mio's ample assets caught his eye, leading to Xtinction hurling into him with a suicide dive that sent both participants ending up in the front row.

Xtinction then pitched a dazed Matsuo back into the ring, and went up top, but Matsuo was able to move out of the way of the Super Spot X (Shooting Star Press), leading to Xtinction's face splatting the canvas.

That gave Matsuo the opening he needed to get back into the contest, and after a close two count with a Tornado Kick followed by a Beetle Suplex, 'Sexy Zone' put Xtinction away with the J-Pop Powerplex (Twisting Falcon Arrow)

Result: Junichi Matsuo [w] bt Xtinction [L] in 6:16 via pinfall (J-Pop Powerplex)

Rating: 62

Mio Mio's Mochi: That Matsuo creep needs to keep his eyes on his opponent and not on me- besides how many times do I have to spell it out, that he's wasting his time!

Takayuki Balls: Another fun sprint. To be honest Xtinction has gradually been winning me round as of late, not enough to push him beyond his current hapless jobber role but enough to consider keeping him around when the time comes to renew his contract. Might even consider throwing a few more wins his way against fellow lower card workers to show that he is seen as a valuable asset to us.

The underdog trio of 'The Forgotten' made the stronger start when they managed to isolate Blood Spider Jr in their corner, with Kotara able to place 'The New Nightmare' in the Bend of Will (Bow and Arrow Hold), however a combination of Black Box based interference from Spider's fellow Salty Delinquent Terajima and referee Sugimura being conveniently distracted by Incognito turned the match around.

From that point on the Kuro-Nadeshiko trio dominated, with Incognito securing the win with a Incognito Driver (Snapmare Driver) to Kohei Hidaka.

Result: Incognito [w], Blood Spider Jr & Soh Terajima bt Hideaki Kasuse, Kohei Hidaka [L] & Yachi Kotara in 6:08 via pinfall (Incognito Driver)

Rating: 55

Mio Mio's Mochi: Who are these guys again?

Takayuki Balls: Exactly as expected, there's really nothing else to say about this match.

<div style="text-align:center;">Match 5: Horiuchi Inokuma vs Shintaro Hideki

Hideki used his superior speed and agility to keep Inokuma off balance in the early going but Inokuma countered a springboard enziguri attempt into a Gutbuster. 'Future's Present' then slowed the pace down and eventually got Hideki into the Python Vise (Anaconda Vise)

Hideki however managed to battle his way to the ropes, and swinged the momentum back his way with a Superkick. Another Superkick followed by a Shiranui proved to be enough for 'Integral Prowess' to grab the victory.

Result: Shintaro Hideki [w] bt Horiuchi Inokuma [L] in 7:37 via pinfall (Shiranui)

Rating: 59

Mio Mio's Mochi: Not that I'm some computer geek or anything like that but I noticed when perusing the DIASPORA.com forums, that some fans have started a drinking game in connection to Hideki Shintaro. Apparently every time he attempts a superkick you must have a gulp of beer or a shot of sake. Considering how fond he is of the superkick, there may be an up-spike in cases of liver disease.

Takayuki Balls: Another solid if largely forgettable midcard contest. Whilst I wouldn't put Hideki amongst our top talents (and he is way too fond of the superkick) he is a solid enough wrestler to carry a rough around the edges work in progress like Inokuma to a reasonable match.

<div style="text-align:center;"> Match 6: Team Ganbatte! (Koto Arato & Go Takashi) vs

Udon Noodle Killers (GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono)

</div>

As was probably expected this match up, kicked off with some wild brawling and though Team Ganbatte! were able to go toe to toe with the Udon Noodle Killers during the intial exchanges, the chaos eventually played into the Kuro pairs hands.

Go Takashi then found himself isolated and worked over in the UNK's corner. Takashi fought back bravely and several times looked to make the tag only for Arato to no be there, due to some typically underhanded shenanigans from the Kuro-Nadeshiko pairing.

The Noodle Killers's however got over confident and Takashi was able to move out of a corner splash from Ono before rocking GUSHIKEN with a leaping lariat and then planting 'Great Thunder' with the Headless Ride (Running Neckbreaker).

It proved to be the key moment in the match, creating enough of an opening to get a fresh Koto Arato into the match, who then continued to turn the tide unleashing a flurry of trademark Arato-Lariat's upon the Kuro pair.

A chop block/lariat combo on Chojiro Ono brought a close two count, that needed desperate intervention from GUSHIKEN, before Team Ganbatte combined again to take out 'Great Thunder' with a Double Team Spinebuster. Takashi then applied the Dollars (Inverted Cloverleaf) to Ono and with Arato able to keep guard against GUSHIKEN, Takashi forced the tap out from 'Epic Tsunami'

Result: Koto Arato & Go Takashi [w] bt GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono [L] in 10:03 via submission (Dollars)

Rating: 64

Mio Mio's Mochi: One out of four looks to be in any kind of decent shape, not that he's a patch on my Nori-san, but the other three involved in this contest could do with laying off the noodles.

Takayuki Balls: In all honesty this is the sort of match-up that would probably go down better with the fans of the rival promotion that must not be spoken of. Arato and to some extent GUSHIKEN provide some star power to the match-up, whilst Takashi is becoming rather adept at playing the underdog in peril, but something like this is never going to excite the fans enough to be considered for one of the main event slots.

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_PrimeDragon.jpghttp://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_TianLong.jpghttp://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_TaheijiEbisawa.jpg</div>

The match began with a show of respect between Zodiac and Prime Dragon, which didn't go down to well with the Temple leader Eikichi Minamoto. After a series of evenly contested exchanges, most of which Minamoto sat out, the match turned in the Temple's favour, when Minamoto cheap shotted Prime Dragon from the apron whilst battling Dark Wolf II.

The Temple trio then worked over the former Super Junior Champion in their corner, though it was clear to see that Zodiac was far from happy in joining in with the systematic beat-down of his former comrade.

Dragon was made to suffer the Gurugu Mawaru (Airplane Spin Toss) from Minamoto before Dark Wolf II followed up with the Wolf's Rain (Diving Elbow Drop) but the 'Grand Pillar' showed the spirit that has lead him to countless championships over the years by kicking out before three.

At that point Zodiac tagged in somewhat reluctantly, and looking as though he just apologised to Prime Dragon before doing so, proceeded to drill Dragon with a Fisherman Brainbuster for another two count. 'Innovations God' then headed up top, but took a rather long time doing so....

And when he came crashing down with the Universe (450 Splash), Dragon was able to move out of the way. But before Minamoto and Dark Wolf II could even think about chewing Zodiac out for not sealing the deal, a suddenly revitilized Prime Dragon delivered a palm strike to Dark Wolf and then a rolling wheel kick to Minamoto, before getting the tag out of Taheji Ebisawa.

Ebisawa then proceeded to turn the 'Howling Menace' inside out with a Dozer (Spear) but Minamoto was able to make the save and then plant Ebisawa with a Harima DDT (Double Arm DDT).

Referee Ochida however rightly recognised that Minamoto was not the legal man. Despite that Wolf was able to get the tag out to Minamoto before Ebisawa could recover. However Ebisawa ducked a Decaptitator (Running Big Boot) and then rocked Minamoto with a lariat, before turning the Heavyweight Champion inside out with another Dozer (Spear).

Ebisawa then tagged in Tian Long, who then came crashing down upon 'Rumble Heart' with the Corkscrew From Heaven (Corkscrew Senton).....

Dark Wolf II broke back in and made the save, and then took out Long with a Fireman's Carry Cutter. The 'Howling Menace' then officially got himself back into the match, but the 'Imperial One' had returned to life and after ducking a lariat from Wolf, planted the 'Howling Menace' with a Dragon Suplex for a two count, before tagging in Prime Dragon.

The 'Grand Pillar' waited for Wolf to stagger back to his feet before nailing the 'Howling Menace' with a rolling wheel kick, before drilling Wolf into the canvas with a Prime Driver 2000 (Wrist Clutch Belly to Back Piledriver).

With Minamoto still winded from the Dozer he received from Ebisawa, it was up to Zodiac to intervene but he simply stepped down off the apron, leaving Dark Wolf being pinned for the three count and handing the Silver Kings trio the victory.

Result: Prime Dragon [w] , Tian Long & Taheji Ebisawa bt Eikichi Minamoto, Dark Wolf II [L] & Zodiac in 15:37 via pinfall (Prime Driver 2000)

Rating: 72

Mio Mio's Mochi: Oh I wish he would stop spinning round like that he's making me dizzy. Does he not realise how annoying it is! (Mio Mio is far from impressed by the Guragu Mawaru move of Eikichi Minamoto).

Takayuki Balls: A solid semi main event, with some good character work, as the slow burning story of the tensions between the reluctant Zodiac and the rest of the Temple of Tsukamoto continues to evolve.

<div style="text-align:center;">Match 8: Sairento & RIKU vs

Hiroto Nori & Oda Yamawaki

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_hirotonorialt1.jpg & http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_OdaYamawaki.jpg

</div>

Before the Kuro-Nadeshiko pair could even make it into the ring, both Nori and Yamawaki too the fight straight to them with a pair of suicide dives. The S.H.I.P duo continued to be in the front foot, with Yamawaki suplexing RIKU over the guard-rail and Nori whipping Sairento into the guard-rail and then following up with a running drop-kick.

When the match officially did get under way and the bell was rung, S.H.I.P had managed to isolate the Kuro leader in their corner. Yamawaki and Nori continued to work over Sairento with a couple of adaptations from the Tokyo Wrecking Crew playbook, that included a delayed vertical suplex from Yamawaki followed up with a moonsault from Nori for a two count.

The hatred Nori had for Sairento then really took hold, as he resorted to subjecting Sairento to his own signature Kuro-Stomp (Surfboard Curbstomp). Sairento 'no sold' the Kuro-Stomp, eerily sitting straight back up but unfazed by the Silent Reaper's resillience a determined Nori dished out an Endless Nori kick flurry before pumelling his hated rival with another Kuro-Stomp.

Nori then whipped the 'Silent Reaper' into the corner and following up with a facewash, before tagging in Yamawaki who followed in with a leaping fore-arm smash before Nori added an exclamation point with a corner to corner running drop-kick.

Sairento then staggered out of the corner, then flopped down before Yamawaki headed up top and then came crashing down with a Frog Splash. But just as he did referee Sugimura was conveniently distracted by the arrival of the Salty Delinquents......

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_BloodSpiderJr.jpghttp://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_RefereeMasaruSugimura.jpghttp://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_SohTerajima.jpg

Oh look these shady looking fellows look like they might 'interfere' I must ignore the match and deal with these good for nothings <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/wink.png.686f06e511ee1fbf6bdc7d82f6831e53.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

</div>

Which lead to Mio Mio at the announce table decrying his appointment as the match official. Of course whilst Sugimura was ordering the Black Box wielding Terajima and his poison mist spewing friend Blood Spider Jr to the back, RIKU sneaked back in and proceeded to strike down Nori and Yamawaki with a series of singapore cane shots....

'Turn around and keep your eyes on the match, you blind old fool!' decried Mio Mio ' Oh of course you're not going to, you crooked piece of *bleep*' as Mio Mio's emotion got the better of her whilst Sugimura turned a blind eye to her beloved Nori being repeatedly caned by RIKU, until the offending weapon in question actually broke into pieces.

RIKU then nailed Yamawaki with a Witchblade (Jumping Spin Kick), sending 'Fearless' out of the ring, and leaving Nori isolated in the Kuro-Nadeshiko corner. A recovered Sairento was clearly relishing the fact that it was now his turn to dish out the punishment and duly gave Nori receipts for the Kuro-Stomp and the Facewash he was subjected to earlier.

Sairento and RIKU, then combined to wear down Nori further with a series of double teams, which included a hope hung double stomp and consecutive corner Yakuza Kicks followed by a chokeslam from RIKU, then a Diving Elbow Drop from Sairento. Throughout the Kuro onslaught Mio Mio was begging her Nori to hang in there and fight back. A Brainbuster from Sairento then brought a two count, the desperate pleas of Mio Mio ringing in a determined Nori's ears and he defiantly kicked out again following a Double Underhook Powerbomb from the 'Silent Reaper'

A frustrated Sairento turned things back over to RIKU, as Nori staggered right into another Yakuza Kick, before being set up for the Crusnik Bomb (Inverted Crucifix Powerbomb) but Nori suddenly regained a burst of life, battling his way out and then peppering RIKU with the Endless Nori kick flurry....

Nori then tried to get the tag out to Yamawaki, but a recovered RIKU was able to cut him off an drive him back to the Kuro corner, before placing Nori in a tree of woe, and tagging in Sairento who then double stomped Nori where it would hurt most, much to the dismay of Mio Mio, who was practically pulling her hair out at the announce table.

Sairento then lifted Nori onto his shoulders before climbing up to the top turnbuckle, and then delivered an AVALANCHE DEATH VALLEY DRIVER.....

RIKU then tagged back in and followed up with a top rope diving leg drop.....

One.....

Two.....

'Kick out, come on Nori-Chan, you have to kick out!' pleaded a desperate Mio Mio

Thr......

And to the dismay of the Kuro-Nadeshiko pair the S.H.I.P leader did just that!

RIKU waited for Nori to rise to his feet and went to nail 'Battle' with a Witchblade (Jumping Spin Kick) but the S.H.I.P managed to duck and then rock 'the Virus' with a rebound drop-kick before following up with a springboard inverted DDT.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_BloodSpiderJr.jpghttp://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_GUSHIKEN.jpghttp://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_SohTerajima.jpg

The pests have returned and they've brought another pest along with them

</div>

That should have given Nori the opportunity to tag out to Yamawaki, but the Salty Delinquents had reared their heads again, to once again distract Sugimura, whilst GUSHIKEN had also come out and looked to nail Nori, whilst wearing his suspicious elbow pad, whilst Yamawwaki was laid out on the floor.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HiroDate.jpghttp://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_KoteiYamato.jpghttp://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_ShintaroHideki.jpg

SHIPPERS on deck!

</div>

Fortunately for the S.H.I.P pair, their own allies had seen with Hiro Date, Kotei Yamato and Shintaro Hideki coming out to chase the Salty Delinquents and GUSHIKEN off.

That still didn't stop a recovered Sairento making a non existant tag, nailing Nori with a Rolling Elbow and then placing 'Battle' in a Sleeper Hold.

Mio Mio begged Nori not to give in, but it looked as though he might just end up fading to the old school submission, having had to endure relentless punishment from the Kuro-Nadeshiko pair for so long.

But suddenly it seemed as though Mio Mio's words and the unerring support of the fans inspired Nori and he came to life again. Sensing this Sairento loosened the Sleeper and then brought Nori down with a snapmare before delivering a stiff kick to the back.

The 'Silent Reaper' then lined up to finish Nori off with the ABSOLUTE TERROR (Knee Strike To The Face) but just as it looked like Sairento was going to connect, Nori managed to side -step out of the way and then almost caught Sairento off guard with a School Boy roll up for a close two count.

Sairento quickly regained control, and looked to have Nori set up for the DEATH NOTE (Spike Brainbuster) only for Nori to find inspiration once again from the support of the fans and Mio Mio, and fight his way out of it before nailing Sairento with a drop-kick to the back of the head.

The momentum sent Sairento back towards his corner, and unfortunately for Nori the 'Silent Reaper' was able to tag a fresh RIKU back into the match. But somehow Nori has suddenly found a second wind, and he stopped 'the Virus' in his tracks with another Endless Nori kick flurry- the final high roundhouse to RIKU's head toppling 'the Virus' before an exhausted Nori collapsed onto the canvas himself with nothing left in the tank.

But the S.H.I.P leading still managed to find enough in reserve to finally get a fresh and fired up Oda Yamawaki into the match, and though RIKU had staggered back to his feet, he was immediately taken back down with a springboard Fearless (Flying Clothesline)....

A desperate Sairento then came in to intervene only for Yamawaki to unfurl a leaping fore-arm and then follow up with a Flapjack. Yamawaki then climbed up to the top turnbuckle, but just as it looked like he was going to come crashing down upon the still fallen RIKU with a Frogsplash, he took the decision to further take Sairento out with a diving cross body to the floor.

Yamawaki then rolled back into the ring, only to eat a Yakuza Kick from a recovered RIKU. 'The Virus' then looked to follow up with the RIKU RUSH, but after completing the first part of the combo with the One Handed Bulldog, he was denied connecting with the Rebound Knee Strike when Yamawaki fired right back with a leaping lariat.

'Fearless' then planted RIKU with an STO, before lifting 'the Virus' up and planting him back onto the canvas again, courtesy of the SUMIDA BRIDGE (Bridging Leg Hook Belly to Back Suplex).....

One.....

Two.....

Three !!

Another intense battle between Kuro-Nadeshiko and S.H.I.P and this time it was the pair of Nori and Yamawaki who were able to come away with the hard fought victory.

Result: Hiroto Nori & Oda Yamawaki [w] bt Sairento & RIKU [L] in 21:53 via pinfall (Sumida Bridge)

Rating: 78

Mio Mio's Mochi: Yeah take that Sairento, you bastard...it's not just Nori's foot stomping your faceless worthless self into that canvas, it's my boot too! (Mio Mio can't help relishing in the fact that Nori is making Sairento endure some Kuro-Stomps of his own, during ther early S.H.I.P control segment).

Takayuki Balls: A good tag team main event, with the expected intensity and plenty of fan support for the babyfaces.

I've been doing this game, 30 Years man and boy

</div>

Before the winners head to the back, Prime Dragon comes out onto the entrance ramp with a microphone. The fans seem very curious as to what Prime Dragon's business is with either Hiroto Nori or Oda Yamawaki, as do the S.H.I.P pair.

'As everyone knows I have been battling in this ring for 30 years'

The crowd break out into a Prime Dragon chant, clearly impressed by the 'Grand Pillars' achievement.

'As part of my celebration, the DIASPORA Championship comittee have given me the honor of being involved in the main event of every show, starting from Bunkyo Hall on July 10th, all the way to the Gods Of The New World pay per view supershow in Fukuoka on July 28th'

Another out-break of chants for Prime Dragon, before the 'Grand Pillar' politely tells some of the more animated fans to calm down with their adulation towards him.

'Also during his anniversary series I will be given the opportunity to challenge for both the Super Junior Championship and Junior Tag Team Championship. Whilst I do crave becoming the Super Junior Champion once again, the Junior Tag Team Championshup was the very first title I claimed here in DIASPORA, and it was alongside the brave and curageous man standing right there in that ring...Hiroto Nori'

The fans break out into Hiroto Nori chants.

'Nori-san, I know since the original DIASPORA four dispanded we have all gone our seperate ways, but though we have been in rival factions I would like to think that we have retained a strong level of respect for one another.'

Hiroto Nori seems curious as to where Prime Dragon is going with this

'Now I'm not trying to broker a union between S.H.I.P and the Silver Kings, after all both yourself and Ichigawa-san are strong leaders with your own mind, but for one night at the very least I am asking you to revisit our glorious past together, and fight alongside me in an attempt to win the Junior Tag Team Championship from Whispered at Bunkyo Hall

So what do you say, lets give these DIASPORA fans something special and kick off my 30 year anniversary in style by becoming two time Junior Tag Team champions!'

Hiroto Nori is handed a microphone, and paces around for a bit thinking things over, as Prime Dragon waits for his response....

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_hirotonorialt1.jpg

Thinking over Prime Dragon's proposal

</div>

'Indeed we have gone our seperate ways, and to be honest I'm not sure that , that we would be able to connect one again on as a team. We may not be rivals in the sense that we are with Sairento, but we are still rivals and I strive for both myself and S.H.I.P to the strongest here in DIASPORA. And what if we do happen to win the titles together, would we be able to continue as a team?'

Mumurings from the fans, who are wondering if Hiroto Nori is about to let Dragon down and scupper his Dream Team' idea....

'But sometimes the head isn't always right and as I listen to the hearts of these fans, they are telling me that we should try to recreate the magic that made us the first ever DIASPORA Junior Tag Team Champions.....

So the answer to your queston Prime Dragon is that I will be honored to be your tag team partner at Bunkyo Hall and WE will the Junior Tag Team Championship together once again!!'

The DIASPORA fans roar their approval at this special alliance, and seem excited about the prospect of Prime Dragon and Hiroto Nori challenging Whispered (Zodiac & Talisman) for the Junior Tag Titles in the Bunkyo Hall main event.

Rating: 77

Takayuki Balls: The fans responded really well to this segment, which provided some good hype for Prime Dragon's up-coming anniversary series.

Takayuki's Final Verdict: Not a blow-away show but a solid one in a middle of the pack market that provided some good set up for the up-coming Bunkyo Hall show and Prime Dragon's 30 year anniversary.

I'm just pleased that the readership is still there after leaving it on a shelf for about four months. Also must give out thanks to Kitarzu, who nominated the diary in the mod category for this months DOTM, and the Glorious Ascension PPV for the monthly spotlight. Much appreciated as always, and I never take even being nominated for granted.

<div style="text-align:center;">Chronicles of Takayuki- Going Too Far?

</div>

As our next show was going to be in Tokyo, I was offered once again to stay at Dragon-san's house on the outskirts of Yokohama. This of course meant being simultaneously delighted and tortured by the prescence of Dragon-san's delectable wife Misaki.

<div style="text-align:center;">http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQxGlDkmyhgt4cbHlBfBVSouhIbfHTyM4d7R2vpD-c4hs5GBmj1

Misaki- Not my wife...... <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/frown.png.e6b571745a30fe6a6f2e918994141a47.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

</div>

I had given up on trying to figure out what Misaki saw in the masked weirdo that happened to be my boss. The only fathomable reason as to why she was with Dragon-san, would be for financial reasons and all honestly she didn't seem like the gold-digger type. Someone like Mio Mio seemed to have more of the qualities to hook up with someone near enough twice their age and wring money out of them but she was in an equally baffling relationship with Nori-san.

Anyway I had decided to no longer trouble my mind, in the faint hope that Misaki-san would politely break it off with Dragon-san and then end up in my arms and do it in such a way where Dragon-san and I could remain friends and I would carry on as the head booker of DIASPORA. That scenario was never going to happen, so why torture myself any further?

I simply took delight in how I go to see this beautiful young lady on a fairly regular basis and got to be privy to her pleasant elegant manner and her delicious home-cooking. Her medley of Kaarage this time round, literally was to die for.

<div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQhhRP251MbRdPZUCzP-r9MhFFdLEWwYUAkfKD8SgOLvi-5YvxVjA" data-src="https://encrypted-tbn1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQhhRP251MbRdPZUCzP-r9MhFFdLEWwYUAkfKD8SgOLvi-5YvxVjA" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Does Misaki taste as good as her Kaarage?

</div>

But in a rare case of her unflappable elegance being tested, the delicate flower that is Misaki-san, got her Yukata caught in one of her Zori's and ended up taking a tumble.....

<div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ6H1wSWhMJccJdB89U9HQahkXvsS5LUrY3TGvDZ0YETb9Zn6daag" data-src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQ6H1wSWhMJccJdB89U9HQahkXvsS5LUrY3TGvDZ0YETb9Zn6daag" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

</div>

Exposing her taut derriere, framed by her pristine blue and white pantsu!

Whilst there was a part of me that felt sorry for Misaki, during what must have been a most embarrassing moment for her, a part of me was also delighted to be privy to this special kind of visual treat. Fortunately for everyone involved, I have more restraint than someone like Junichi Matsuo when faced with such circumstances.

Though as Misaki began to shed her few tears, clearly embarrassed over the situation and with her usually unflappable dignity broken, I did contemplate going over to comfort her during her time of need. However with Dragon-san in the same room, I thought better of it.

That being said Dragon-san himself just sat their frozen on the spot, as though he himself had no idea what to do. Had he never seen his Misaki in a distressed mood before?!

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_PrimeDragon.jpg

The mask cannot hide his incompetence!

</div>

I wanted to go over there and shake him and tell him to go over and comfort her, or perhaps still go over and comfort Misaki-san myself. But just as Dragon sat their frozen himself, I sat equally frozen, thinking over various scenarios and not taking any action.

A beautiful young lady balling her eyes out due to tripping up and exposing her pantsu, and two men staring into space not knowing what to do. This really was a sorry state of affairs.

Have made some updates to the front page content:

Temple of Tsukamoto and Silver Kings have finally been added to the stables post. Though I am going to wait until the end of the current tour, to do full profiles, when of course I will also be updating the entries for the other stables.

Have also done some tweaks to the wrestler profiles:

Height and weight are now back in feet and inches/ibs rather than cm's and kg's....I think more people are used to the former when it comes to wrestler's size.

I have also added an extra comment section from DIASPORA analyst Tadashi Saga, who voices his opinion on the wrestlers fight-style (He manages to work in a few subtle digs at the wrestlers he doesn't feel are any good)

Here's his opinion of Kan Mitsubishi: Probably sees himself as a 'spark plug' brawler but more often than not lacks the 'spark'.

Go check out the rest of his comments on the front page!

Silver Kings set to unveil new member

</div>

Ahead of DIASPORA's up-coming show at Bunkyo Hall, the Silver Kings faction posted up the following message from Tian Long....

'Whilst our esteemed leader Ichigawa-san continues to grow himself stronger both physically and spiritually, he has sent us a new warrior to join Silver Kings plight, as we continue to strive to upheld the traditions and values of Professional Wrestling and prevent it from falling into disrepair at the hands of disrespectful fools like the current Heavyweight champion Eikichi Minamoto

The warrior, who upholds the values held closely by the Silver Kings, will make his debut alongside me at Bunkyo Hall and Ichigawa-san has assured me that he will strengthen us, as we strive to win not only the up-coming battles ahead but the war regarding the direction of Pro Wrestling in these troubled times.

<div style="text-align:center;"> http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/DIASPORA_Banner-1.jpg Preview: Blazing Eye Tour #21 (Bunkyo Hall) - Prime Dragon 30 Year Anniversary Kick Off! </div> It's hard to believe it, but Super Junior legend Prime Dragon has been competing as wrestler for 30 years. Making his debut on July 1984, the masked man fan favourite, has since gone on to win numerous championships both as a singles and tag team wrestler, earning him respect and adulation from fans and fellow wrestlers alike. Now DIASPORA continue their Blazing Eye Tour, with a special show at Bunkyo Hall celebrating Prime Dragon's 30 year wrestling career. The main event as is expected will feature Prime Dragon, as he challenges for the Junior Tag Team Championship held by Whispered (Zodiac & Talisman). The Junior Tag Team Championship was the first title won by Prime Dragon in DIASPORA and he is chosen the man he achieved that accomplishment with S.H.I.P leader Hiroto Nori to his partner. Despite being members of different factions, Hiroto Nori let his heart rule his head and agreed to partner Dragon after a heartfelt plea from the legend in Nagoya to his partner on this special occasion. Can this 'dream team' recall their glorious past and become two time champions or will Whispered continue to build upon their already strong championship run that has seen them successfully defend the titles 7 times since winning the belts from New Solution (Shintaro Hideki & Kotei Yamato) in January. The semi main event see's the other Tag Team Championship of DIASPORA on the line, as the Tokyo Wrecking Crew (Oda Yamawaki & Hiro Date) put the belts on the line against fellow S.H.I.P members Team Ganbatte! (Koto Arato & Go Takashi), who earned their shot with victory over previous champions the Udon Noodle Killers (GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono). This is not the first time these two teams would have faced off, with their most recent meeting at May's Never Dying Spirit PPV seeing the TWC get the better of Ganbatte! in a 2/3 falls match. However despite losing that match it gave the young lion of the pairing Go Takashi, the belief that he could compete with the more experience pair and earned him more respect amongst his peers. This time round can Team Ganbatte with the experience of Koto Arato and the enthusisam of Go Takashi, go one further and upset their fellow S.H.I.P brethren? In what many would consider a third main event quality match-up, former Junior Tag Team Champions New Solution take on what would be consider to be Kuro-Nadeshiko's strongest pairing of Sairento and Incognito. Despite being the more experienced tag team the S.H.I.P pair will be considered underdogs, however with Incognito still awaiting his chance to challenge Sairento for the Super Junior Championship, tensions could be brewing between Kuro-Nadeshikos two most prominent members. Eikichi Minamoto has also confirmed that he will put his Heavyweight Championship on the line in another Karen Ichijou Lottery match. It has been common consensus now that Minamoto is using the 'lottery' to put himself in matches against so called weaker opposition and avoid stronger competition. However several of these so called 'victims' have pushed Minamoto close and have almost caused the Temple of Tsukamoto leader's plan to backfire on him. Whoever is chosen this time, can they not only raise their game enough to push the champion close but pull off what will probably be a huge upset and go onto become Heavyweight champion. Rounding out the show the Kuro-Nadeshiko and Tuturu! face off in a six man battle, with RIKU pairing with the Salty Delinquents (Soh Terajima & Blood Spider Jr) to take on the trio of Junichi Matsuo and MOE! MONEY! (Meido Machine & HUSTLE Umiro). Temple of Tsukamoto and Silver Kings do battle in tag team action with Dark Wolf II pairing up with Horiuchi Inokuma to take on Tian Long and a mystery partner described as a 'new warrior, sent by Hyotaru Ichigawa'.The Ambassadors Club (Ebi Kavidar & Paul Crowley) face off with The Forgotten (Kohei Hidaka & Hideaki Kasuse) in Junior Tag team action, whilst Taheji Ebisawa is the latest to step into the ring with oddball newcomer Chi? The bonus pre-show match for those who arrive early, see's a 4 corners match featuring Kan Mitsubishi, Nyan Nyan Neko Man, Xtinction and Yachi Kotara. <div style="text-align:center;"> Blazing Eye Tour - Show #21 Bunkyo Hall, Tokyo, Kanto Tuesday 10th July 2012 ~Prime Dragon 30th Anniversary Kick Off Match~ Final (45 Min Limit): Junior Tag Team Championship 'Representing Temple of Tsukamoto' Whispered (Zodiac & Talisman) vs 'Representing Silver Kings' Prime Dragon & 'Representing S.H.I.P' 2012 Grand Master- Hiroto Nori ~Strong Friends, Stronger Adversaries~ Semi Final (45 Min Limit): All Asia Tag Team Championship 'Representing S.H.I.P' Tokyo Wrecking Crew (Oda Yamawaki & Hiro Date) vs 'Representing S.H.I.P' Team Ganbatte!

Zergon · March 2, 2014

Junior Tag Team Championship: Whispered (Zodiac & Talisman) vs Prime Dragon & Hiroto Nori

Hmmm, this is actually tough one. On one hand, Whispered is the actual team and I don´t see Dragon and Nori working together all that long considering that they belong into differend factions plus both (or at least Nori) will surely go after Super Junior belt and Sairento soon. On the other hand, Whispered is having some troubles between each other´s and it looks to be only matter of time before Zodiac leaves the Temple. Also, Talisman likely still is the weak link here unless Prime is heavily on time decline and Whispered already have more defenses than any former champs so it would be time to drop the belts.... I´m quite thorn between these two teams but I got with title change here mainly because I feel there is more problems between Zodiac and Talisman than between Nori and Dragon plus even if Nori ends up going after Sairento, you could always have Nori and Sairento swap belts which would also give excuse to keep Sairento away from Super Junior title picture for a little while.

All Asia Tag Team Championship: Tokyo Wrecking Crew (Oda Yamawaki & Hiro Date) vs Team Ganbatte! (Koto Arato & Go Takashi)

Could go either way but quick look on the first page told me that Crew doesn´t have any successful defenses yet and thus are unlikely to drop the belts this time around.

New Solution (Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki) vs Sairento & Incognito

New Solution is quite good team but they aren´t on the same level than Sairento and with Incognito being pretty good too, I don´t see Solution´s bigger tag team experience being enough to warrant a win here.

Junuchi Matsuo, Meido Machine & HUSTLE Umiro vs RIKU, Blood Spider Jr & Soh Terajima

Another tough one, mainly because I´m not sure if RIKU´s presence is enough to make Kuro get the win? I´d say no but I won´t be suprised if you prove me wrong here.

Heavyweight Championship (Karen Ichijou Lottery): Eikichi Minamoto vs ????

With Ichigawa not competing currently and Arato (and to lesser extend Yamawaki and Date) being elsewhere on the card I don´t see the challenger being anyone who could realistically beat Minamoto unless you have signed some big enough name that would warrant instant main event title run and I find that bit unlikely to happen with big companies like DIASPORA. My guess of the opponent is Wolfe since other´s who are missing on the card like Ono and GUSHIKEN already had their chance.

Tian Long & ???? vs Dark Wolf II & Horiuchi Inokuma

I´m guessing that you still have that owner goal to keep Long strong and that combined with mystery man debut could well be enough to gain a win here espesially since I don´t expect much from Inokuma.

The Ambassadors Club (Ebi Kavidar & Paul Crowley) vs The Forgotten (Kohei Hidaka & Yachi Kotara)

I´m guessing it should be Kasuse instead of Kotara on this one since that´s what the preview says. Anyway, it doesn´t really matter what combination of Forgotten will be on this match, Ambassadors club is still going to be victorious.

Taheji Ebisawa vs Chi?

Chi? seems to be just another comedy jobber at least for the time being so I doubt Ebisawa would lose to him.

Kan Mitsubishi vs Nyan Nyan Neko Man vs Xtinction vs Yachi Kotara

Errr, none of these guys really matter much.... I guess I go with Xtinction just because he´s my favorite from these four.

Tiberious · March 2, 2014

Tiberious's Super Special Predictions Form

Junior Tag Team Championship: Whispered (Zodiac & Talisman) vs Prime Dragon & Hiroto Nori

Weird matchup. I can't see Whispered losing the title here, but at the same time it seems weird to have Nori losing right after winning the tournament when he's being set up for a title match with Sairento.

All Asia Tag Team Championship: Tokyo Wrecking Crew (Oda Yamawaki & Hiro Date) vs Team Ganbatte! (Koto Arato & Go Takashi)

If this were a 30 minute limit I would have been tempted to go for a draw, but I'll go with the champions here.

New Solution (Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki) vs Sairento & Incognito

Now this is really tough. It's also a sign you have a pretty stacked card when this match isn't one of the main events. I'm split on what to pick here, New Solution are the real team, but I'll say that Kuro steals a victory here; perhaps with Incognito stealing a pin from Sairento to further tension.

Junuchi Matsuo, Meido Machine & HUSTLE Umiro vs RIKU, Blood Spider Jr & Soh Terajima

On the one hand I feel like RIKU should be doing more than losing to comedy guys, but on the other he's teaming with the Salty Delinquents so what can you do.

Heavyweight Championship (Karen Ichijou Lottery): Eikichi Minamoto vs ????

Minamoto won't be losing his title on the match that's 5th from the top.

Tian Long & ???? vs Dark Wolf II & Horiuchi Inokuma

UPJ tend not to resign Thunder Iesada and Silver Beetle when their contracts come up, and either one of those 2 would be a perfect fit for the Silver Kings.

The Ambassadors Club (Ebi Kavidar & Paul Crowley) vs The Forgotten (Kohei Hidaka & Yachi Kotara)

Meh

Taheji Ebisawa vs Chi?

Sadly I'm not anime enough to get the Chi reference.

Kan Mitsubishi vs Nyan Nyan Neko Man vs Xtinction vs Yachi Kotara

I don't really remember him ever winning, so maybe this will be his chance. I actually kind of like Shiki Hirasi, I mean he's not really good enough for a push in Diaspora but I really like his render (the default one I mean <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />) and feel like he would be a good top guy in a small/regional sized company.

I can't see Whispered losing the title here, but at the same time it seems weird to have Nori losing right after winning the tournament when he's being set up for a title match with Sairento. </div></blockquote> The underlined struck me as a bit of an odd comment, regarding the main event. I'm sure you have been reading diligently but I feel like because of that comment, I feel the need to spell a few things out for yourself and perhaps other readers. * The match-up has occurred because it's Prime Dragon's 30 Year anniversary, where he will be involved in a series of main event matches. To kick off his anniversary series of matches he has decided to challenge for the first title he won in DIASPORA, the Junior tag- which he won alongside Hiroto Nori. The two acknowledge they are now in separate factions, but have decided to go with their 'hearts' and listen to the fans on this occasion. * Hiroto Nori won the Grand Master Cup, which also guaranteed him a spot in the main event at the yearly finale show Stand Alone Complex in November. After he won the cup, he said he would face Sairento- whether Sairento was still champion or not but would wait until then to face Sairento. Even though we know what the final main event of the year will be, what we don't know is if the Super Junior title will be on the line and just who will be the champion going into it. Between now and then Sairento could lose the Super Junior title and Hiroto Nori could win it off the person who defeated Sairento or Sairento could be champion all the way to November. * With Stand Alone Complex happening in November (at the end of the next tour!) Nori has plenty of time to recover from several losses (let alone if he were to lose this match up) and besides the Grand Master Cup win wasn't meant as the start of some 'God Push' where he would go undefeated for the rest of the year. If you haven't noticed already the factions tend to trade wins, relative to the overall strength of the personnel for each side, unless I want to give someone lower down the pecking order a breakout win. The GM Cup win was meant to further establish Nori as a major player but he still has goals to reach, winning the Super Junior title and finally getting the better of Sairento. The only thing I can agree on someone questioning as 'odd' is why Nori who is desperate to get his hands on Sairento is willing to wait until November, rather than having the big singles match-up now. * Whispered (Zodiac & Talisman) as Junior Tag Team champions have been built up to be very strong champions, and if Nori/Dragon were to lose to them it's hardly going to be a great shame if the recent Grand Master Cup tournament winner will end up on the losing side. * And if Nori/Dragon were to win the titles it would be interesting to see how long that partnership could last and you already have a ready made re-match against Whispered, which could easily headline the current tour ending PPV Gods of The New World (It's already been announced that Prime Dragon will feature in the main event).
