DIASPORA- Takayuki of the Revolution-13 (Thunderverse)

Infernalmiko · March 13, 2013

Love it. Crowley talks exactly like how I would imagine him to talk when he's not busy being a Victorian gentleman.

I've watched a few Guy Ritchie movies and I was lost.

Big Roguey · March 13, 2013

I've watched a few Guy Ritchie movies and I was lost.

Being from England's uglier big brother is a bonus as well.

I hope TK doesn't mind me translating for Paul, so here goes.

‘Things r’right ropey round ‘ere. It’s like y’know that Meido gobshite, reckon...he’s got to be a bit Wigan Pier like. A bloke in a dress, nowt right ‘bout that.

TRANSLATION: Things are a bit weird around here. Take Meido Machine and his act. A man in a dress? Nothing right about that.

Y’know what else I’m brassed off with....the food. Can’t find anywhere that does a good chip butty. Back home, every day me and r’kid right would go down boozer, get a chip butty for supper, put on some Roses or better still some Northside, get kegged on Bodders and play a round of arrers.... anyway see y’later Ebz, I’m bursting for a jimmy.’

TRANSLATION: You know what else annoys me here? The food. I can't find a good chip roll in this place. Every day back home, me and the kid would go to the pub, get a chip roll for supper, put on some Roses or Northside, get drunk on Bodders and play a round of arrows. Anyway, see you later Ebi, I'm away for urination.

Good job with the translation Michigan, don't mind at all

Well you would be lost, if Guy Ritchie movies are your reference- because in those films the characters tend to talk 'cockney' or more accurately 'mockney'.

Paul Crowley being from Wigan a town in Greater Manchester, so speaks 'Northern' or more specifically 'Manc'.

Just a few more specific notes of my own to add:

Wigan Pier is of course a rhyme for queer.

A chip butty is that great culinary delight of putting chips between two pieces of bread. For some one used to food such as that- noodles and raw fish would be a totally alien concept

When he says put on some Roses or Northside, he is referring to playing the Stone Roses or Northside on the jukebox. The Stone Roses are a seminal band of the 'baggy' / Madchester scene that came along in the late 80's/early 90's. Northside are a long forgotten band that had minor success from the same era but Paul Crowley still remembers and has great affection for them.

When he talks about R'kid- he would be referring to his kid brother.

Bodders- short for Boddingtons....a beer that is brewed in Manchester.

Arrows is another name for Darts- a very popular pub game in Britain. I wrote is as arrers to get across the manc accent.

And yes when he says that he is bursting for a Jimmy- he is wanting to head to the lavatory. Jimmy Riddle= Piddle.

DIASPORA will be heading north, as they take the third leg of their Blazing Eye tour to the Hakodate Sports Field in Hokkaido on Tuesday 8th May.

The Guardians of DIASPORA and Kuro-Nadeshiko will once again do battle in the main event, this time in an all Junior Division six man tag, with former Junior champion Prime Dragon lining up alongside the Junior Tag Team champions Whispered (Zodiac & Talisman) to take on the first two time Super Junior champion in DIASPORA Sairento, Incognito and Tian Long. Things have been difficult for Prime Dragon of late having lost the Super Junior title to Sairento and with the Guardians looking strained as a unit, but he will be keen to get thing back on track- but Sairento and Kuro-Nadeshiko will stop at nothing to continue to derail Dragon and the Guardians.

In the semi main event, Taheji Ebisawa has been handed the biggest opportunity of his career thus far- when he will challenge Eikichi Minamoto for the Heavyweight Championship. Ebisawa was 'lucky' enough to be drawn out by Minamoto- as the very first challenger from the Karen Ichijou Lottery- though many feel that Minamoto rigged this lottery to give himself what he perceives to be an 'easy' challenger in order to avoid once again facing off against Ebisawa's tag partner come mentor and fellow former Guardian of DIASPORA Hyotaru Ichigawa. Could Ebisawa cause a major upset and humble the increasingly arrogant champiobn or will Minamoto make a succesful first defence of the Heavyweight title.

The man Minamoto seems desperate to avoid Hyotaru Ichigawa will be in singles heavyweight action himself, as he takes on one half of the formidable tag team the Tokyo Wrecking Crew in the form of Hiro Date. Though Date is known more for his prowess in the tag ranks, he is also a capable singles competitor and could prove to be a potential banana skin for the former champion.

And there will be former heavyweight singles action when two rising young talents in the form of S.H.I.P's Go Takashi and Horiuchi Inokuma clash with one another. It could be said that comparisons could be made with Ichigawa and Minamoto with the clash of personalities here, with Takashi, respectful and humble whilst Inokuma is showing himself to be increasingly brash and cocksure.

Takashi's tag partner Koto Arato will be in action alongside S.H.I.P leader Hiroto Nori, as they take on the Kuro-Nadeshiko pairing of Dark Wolf II and RIKU in an Openweight tag match, and there will be further openweight tag action as the Tuturu! pairing of Junichi Matsuo and Fuku Machine take on Kuro-Nadeshiko's Soh Terajima and Chojiro Ono.

Rounding out the main show will be a pair of singles matches between Tuturu! co-leaders MOE! MONEY! and the Ambassadors club with HUSTLE Umiro up against Paul Crowley and Meido Machine taking on Ebi Kavidar.

The bonus pre-show action sees the Kuro pair of Blood Spider Jr and GUSHIKEN team up against 'The Forgotten's' Hideaki Kasuse and Yachi Kotara.

Prime Dragon, Zodiac & Talisman vs Sairento, Incognito & Tian Long

Guardians get a win back now that Minamoto isn´t there to screw things up.

Heavyweight Championship (Karen Ichijou Lottery #1):

Eikichi Minamoto vs Taheji Ebisawa

Ebisawa isn´t ready to win the main belt yet.

Hiro Date vs Hyotaru Ichigawa

Bigger name.

Dark Wolf II & RIKU vs Hiroto Nori & Koto Arato

Could go either way but Nori and Arato are just more established and that´s enough for me.

Go Takashi vs Horiuchi Inokuma

Inokuma could get close to victory here but Takashi is higher on pecking order right now.

Meido Machine vs Ebi Kavidar

HUSTLE Umiro vs Paul Crowley

Just going 1-1 with these two picking the stronger partners (in my opinion) to win.

Junichi Matsuo & FUKU Machine vs Chojiro Ono & Soh Terajima

Tough one actually but FUKU Machine needs to get some wins before I´m ready to back him up. This might be a good spot to start getting those wins though.

Blood Spider Jr & GUSHIKEN vs Hideaki Kasuse & Yachi Kotara

I would pick GUSHIKEN here even if he wouldn´t have partner.

Infernalmiko · March 15, 2013

I can't disagree with Zergon. Minamoto's title match nis barely worthy of the name, Ebisawa is in no way ready for this level of challenge. Ichigawa desperately needs a win after all those tag losses. A quality win over Date makes him more relevant again. Ultimately Ambassador's Club will win this little feud but Hustle is the most likely to get a win to keep things looking a little even before the big finish. SohNo are too big to lose to Fukumachine. Maybe someday he'll no longer be enhancement and actually have some pop. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-username="Zergon" data-cite="Zergon" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="34929" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Prime Dragon, Zodiac & Talisman vs Sairento, Incognito & Tian Long Guardians get a win back now that Minamoto isn´t there to screw things up.

<div style="text-align:center;">Blazing Eye Tour 3</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Tuesday 8th May 2012,

Hakodate Athletic Field, Hakodate, Hokkaido (1'899- No Vacancy)</div>

Match 0: Blood Spider Jr & GUSHIKEN vs Hideaki Kasuse & Yachi Kotara

'The Forgotten' duo manage to take control in the early going and are able to isolate Blood Spider Jr in their corner, however Kasuse fell victim to a Poison Mist attack from the 'New Nightmare'....once Spider got the tag to GUSHIKEN, the All Asia Tag champion overpowered Kotara and Kasuse with a GUSHIKEN Driver (Samoan Driver) on Kotara securing the win for the Kuro-Nadeshiko pair.

Result: Blood Spider Jr & GUSHIKEN [w] vs Hideaki Kasuse & Yachi Kotara [L] in 5:51 via pinfall

Rating: 47

Takayuki Balls: With GUSHIKEN in this match, the result was never going to be in doubt, but with that being said this was pretty decent for a pre-show match- where expectations are always exceptionally low.

<div style="text-align:center;">Match 1: Fuku Machine & Junichi Matsuo vs

Chojiro Ono & Soh Terajima</div>

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HunterWolfe_alt1.jpg & <a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=JunichiMatsuo.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_JunichiMatsuo.jpg</a></div>

<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://youtu.be/F5XXYBltPU4" rel="external nofollow">http://youtu.be/F5XXYBltPU4</a></div>

Junichi Matsuo comes out with his bevy of J-Pop dancing girls but Fuku Machine is nowhere to be found...Matsuo realises that Fuku isnt there and goes into the back to try and lure his reticent stable mate out....

Only for the Kuro-Nadeshiko pair of Ono and Terajima to blindside the pair of them. Fuku seems reluctant to join in on fending the Kuro pair off, which leads to Matsuo being dominated by Ono and Terajima.

Ono gets a two count off a Powerbomb, whilst Terajima also goes close when he plants 'Sexy Zone' with a Leg Hook Belly to Back Suplex. Matsuo managed to buy himself some breathing space after nailing Ono with a Tornado Kick and then planting Terajima with a springboard Tornado DDT, but was denied making the tag when Terajima knocked Fuku off the apron.

That proved to be a mistake on Terajima's part as Fuku took a sudden interest in the match, and proceeded to knock the 'Cloaked Assassin' down with a Flying Shoulder Tackle. A recovered Matsuo then followed up with a Standing Corkscrew Moonsault for a two count before planting Terajima with the J-Pop Powerplex (Twisting Falcon Arrow)....

Ono however was on hand to make the save....connecting with the Tsunami Big Splash. Despite not being the legal man to make the tag it did enable to Terajima to get the tag out to the All Asia Tag champ, before Matsuo could do the same to Fuku Machine.

Ono then proceeded to whip the weary Matsuo into the corner, but telegraphed the corner splash and 'Sexy Zone' was able to move out of the way, before nailing Ono with a Tornado Kick.

<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFkib611wq0" rel="external nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFkib611wq0</a></div>

Fuku Machine was then officially tagged into the match nailing Ono with a Haruhi Kick (Super High Velocity Drop-kick) into the corner- the impact of the kick causing Ono to stagger out and fall flat on his face....

Fuku had problems trying to turn Ono over for the pin however and decided to apply a Boston Crab submission hold- but before he could truly synch it in he was blasted with a Black Box Shot from Terajima.

That went un-noticed by referee Sugimura- however Matsuo's protestations did not, and his venting at the official only served for Terajima to blast Fuku with another Black Box Shot. A recovered Ono then planted 'confused thunder' with the Okinawa Battle Bomb (Spinning Powerbomb) to pick up the victory for the Kuro-Nadeshiko pair.

Result: Chojiro Ono [w] & Soh Terajima bt Fuku Machine [L] & Junichi Matsuo in 8:32 via pinfall (Okinawa Battle Bomb)

Rating: 51

Mio Mio's Mochi: Has someone told this guy that he has put on the wrong school uniform- then again he looks a bit too old to be wearing one, don't you think?

Takayuki Balls: Ok so the 'wrestling' itself wasn't nothing to write home about it in this one, but with Ono and Terajima as the Kuro representative's did anyone ever expect it to be and in all fairness the extra curricular actitivities that went on on this match probably kept it more interesting for the crowd, than had they had a straight up honorable contest.

<div style="text-align:center;">Match 2: HUSTLE Umiro vs Paul Crowley</div>

<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=HUSTLEUmiro.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HUSTLEUmiro.jpg</a> vs <a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=PaulCrowley.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_PaulCrowley.jpg</a></div>

Crowley offers HUSTLE a gentleman's handshake before the match, but the MONEY! man just offers to bump fists instead- resulting in a handshake/fist bump stale mate!

In the end the stale-mate is broken when Crowley becomes frustrated at HUSTLE not accepting the handshake, and goes to throw the first punch only to be levelled with a lariat. HUSTLE continues to build momentum, and gets a two count off a snap suplex before Crowley decides to bail out of the ring for a powder.

HUSTLE was keen to keep the pressure on, and went for a tope con hilo, but a ringside attendant ended up taking the brunt of the move- as Crowley moved out of the way. The 'New Prince of Old School' then took down HUSTLE with a chop block, before throwing sending HUSTLE into the barricade with a Russian Legsweep. Crowley then broke up referee Ochida's floor count, before sending HUSTLE into the front-row with a European Uppercut.

Crowley then prevented the 'Ducker Diver' from getting back into the ring with a baseball slide, a second attempt from HUSTLE to get back in, then saw Crowley snap the ring-rope into HUSTLE's throat and then bring the MONEY! back in with a suplex. HUSTLE then staggered back up to his feet but was met with another European Uppercut and then planted with a Northern Lights Suplex for a two count.

Crowley then decided to head up top, but HUSTLE was back to his feet, however the 'New Prince of Old School' took down the 'Ducker Diver' with a Flying Cross Body that HUSTLE powerfully kicked out of, only to then be caught in a Cross Face Chickenwing.

HUSTLE tried to fight it off, but when he began to break the hold Crowley then planted the MONEY! man with the Majestic Suplex (Cross Face Chickenwing Suplex).....

Crowley thought that had the match won, and proceeded to remonstrate to referee Ochida that in his opinion HUSTLE's shoulders were down on the mat for three. HUSTLE managed to catch Crowley off guard and caught the 'New Prince of Old School' by surprise with the Out-Hustled (Backslide Pin) but Crowley was able to just about get his shoulder up before three.

A lariat put HUSTLE back in control, before a German Suplex brought a two count for the 'Ducker Diver'. HUSTLE then hoisted Crowley upon his shoulders, but the 'New Prince of Old School' managed to slip off and then plant HUSTLE with a Russian Legsweep before then rolling through into the Prince's Lock (Arm Trap Crossface)

HUSTLE however showed great fighting spirit, powering up to his feet and then managing to not only break the hold but hoist Crowley upon his shoulders, before delivering a Fireman's Carry Facebuster.

The 'Ducker Diver' then planted Crowley with a Rolling Fireman's Carry Slam and then followed with a Corner Cannonball Splash, before heading up top. HUSTLE then came crashing down with the Hustle To The Top (Diving Elbow Drop) to secure the win.

Result: HUSTLE Umiro [w] bt Paul Crowley [L] in 9:25 via pinfall (Hustle To The Top)

Rating: 56

Mio Mio's Mochi: That moron in the gold mask is sticking out his fist, whilst that British buffoon is sticking out his hand.....I don't get it, geez just get on with the match already!

Takayuki Balls: Solid back and forth contest, with just a slight case of midcarder apathy from the crowd, holding the match back from going to that next level...then again knowing that the crowd would be a little 'flat' for this match is why it's at Match #2 on the card.

<div style="text-align:center;">Match 3: Ebi Kavidar vs Meido Machine</div>

<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=EbiKadivar.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_EbiKadivar.jpg</a> vs <a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=MeidoMachine.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_MeidoMachine.jpg</a></div>

Before any punches are thrown, Meido pulls out a menu and gives it to Kavidar....the 'High Sheik' peruses the 'Maid Cafe' menu, before shrugging his shoulders and tossing it away....

Meido is offended by the fact that Kavidar didn't order anything from the menu and goes into a berserk mode, and begins wailing away in Kavidar. The 'High Sheik' however manages to get out of harms way and rolls out to the floor. Meido goes for a slingshot cross body but Kavidar manages to move out of the way and Meido ends up colliding with the guard-rail.

Kavidar tosses Meido back into the ring and nails the 'World's Most Dangerous Otaku' with a Dropsault, before following up with a sitout facebuster for a two count. Kavidar then followed up with a corkscrew standing moonsault for another two count. The 'High Sheik' then set up for Oil Money (Overdrive) but Meido managed to block the attempt and counter with a Rolling Cutter.

A Dragon screw leg-whip from the MOE! MONEY! man further turned the match around, before Meido applied a Cloverleaf hold. Kavidar however was close enough to the ropes to force the rope break, before the 'High Sheik' retook control with a dropkick and then followed up with a Running Corkscrew Shooting Star Press.

Meido however to Kavidar's frustration was able to kick out at two. The MOE! MONEY! man remained rooted to the mat however, and Kavidar decided to head up top, but before the 'High Sheik' could take flight....

<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--S4OHbdOYlk/TmMnZwrphpI/AAAAAAAAALA/XeVhZyHrVOc/s1600/mio_maid_moe_moe_kyun.jpg.jpeg" rel="external nofollow">http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--S4OHbdOYlk/TmMnZwrphpI/AAAAAAAAALA/XeVhZyHrVOc/s320/mio_maid_moe_moe_kyun.jpg.jpeg</a>

Moe Time! </div>

Meido was able to throw up the MOE! time heart symbol, causing Kavidar to be frozen in place on the top turnbuckle.

Meido then sent Kavidar crashing back into the ring with a superplex. The World's Most Dangerous Otaku then built momentum with a snap suplex, a Brainbuster and then a Northern Lights Suplex for a two count.......

Meido then decided to head up top, but telegraphed the Meido Beam (Missile Drop-Kick) by shouting out 'M M M- MEIDO BEAAAAMMM!!'....enabling Kavidar to move out of the way and then drill Meido with a standing Tornado DDT for a close two count.

Kavidar then turned Meido over into the Magic Carpet (Surfboard Camel Clutch) submission but grew frustrated when the MOE! MONEY! man showed enough resolve not to tap out. Kavidar then planted Meido with a Cobra Clutch Suplex, but again the MOE! MONEY! man was able to show enough resillience to kick out at two.

Meido remained rooted to the mat however and Kavidar headed up top...before soaring off with the Sheik From Above (Double Jump Moonsault).....Meido managed to roll out of the way, but Kavidar was able to land on his feet and then caught the 'World's Most Dangeorus Otaku' with the Forty Thieves (Low Blow Sunset Flip)......

One.....

Two....

Three!

<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=ShikiHirasialt_zps5ae04e13.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_ShikiHirasialt_zps5ae04e13.jpg?t=1359837837</a></div>

<div style="text-align:center;">Neko Man Returns! </div>

But unfortunately for Kavidar, who though he had sneaked victory...referee Ochida was destracted by the mysterious cat man who had appeared at the opening show of the Blazing Eye Tour at Bunkyo Hall.

A frustrated Kavidar went to strike at the cat man, but a recovered Meido rolled Kavidar up from behind and transitioned into the Moe Moe Clutch (Double Leg Nelson Pin)....

One.....

Two....

Three!

Kavidar couldn't find a way to kick out and it was Meido, who ended up sneaking the win- rather than Kavidar, who just a minute earlier thought he had the match won.

Result: Meido Machine [w] bt Ebi Kavidar [L] in 11:30 via pinfall (Moe Moe Clutch)

Rating: 57

Mio Mio's Mochi: And the oddities keep on coming....yes I am talking about the cat man that has just appeared!

Takayuki Balls: In terms of quality, not much to split this one from Crowley vs HUSTLE. This will probably be seen as somewhat of a mild upset, because I think most would have been expecting these teams to split the series or Ambassadors Club to establish themselves as the stronger team. The distraction from the mysterious cat man, does give Kavidar an 'excuse' for the loss though.

Post Match Comments:

Ebi Kavidar shouted something in 'Arabic' at the camera, the only word that could be understand was Meido Machine.... Thankfully Paul Crowley came along and said something in English....

Paul Crowley (in extremely put on 'posh' English): MOE! MONEY! we refuse to accept that you are better than us, we will not be made fools of. Bring your cat friend this time, oh do not even pretend that you do not know of his very prescence. Basically what it pertains to is this...we shall challenge you three to a six man tag.....even if we fail to find an eager partner and we have to face off with you fools in a handicap match- we will show you that tonight was a just one off. A couple of flukes- but rest assured next time we meet, your luck will have run out.

<div style="text-align:center;">Match 4: Go Takashi vs Horiuchi Inokuma</div>

<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=GoTakashi.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_GoTakashi.jpg</a> vs <a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=HoriuchiInokuma.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HoriuchiInokuma.jpg</a></div>

The match begins with a basic collar and elbow tie up....neither man gains an advantage, so they change up to challenging one another to a chop contest. Takashi clearly the winner of that exchange leading to Inokuma begging off, Takashi doesn't want to give Inokuma the chance to do so but Inokuma manages to sneak in an eye-rake and then plant Takashi with a Swinging Neckbreaker for a two count.

'Future's Present' then stomped away on Takashi , before landing a stalling knee-drop. Inokuma then taunted 'Nippon Hart' to get back to his feet.....Takashi tried to rally but was cut off with another eye-rake and then planted with an Inverted DDT.

Inokuma then tried to lift Takashi up for a vertical suplex, but 'Nippon Hart' was able to block the attempt and then countered into one of his own. Takashi then built up momentum by nailing Inokuma with a Front Drop-Kick and then following up with a Sidewalk slam. Takashi then subjected Inokuma tio the Bartenders Swing (Giant Swing).....

Before Takashi who was dizzy from spinning round himself, staggered onto Inokuma to make the cover. Takashi then hoisted Inokuma upon his shoulder to set up for a Death Valley Driver but Inokuma was able to fight off the attempt and then counter into an Inverted Headlock Backbreaker. 'Future's Present' then applied the Python Vise (Anaconda Vise) submission but Takashi was able to dig down and find the strength to power his way up to his feet and counter with a Belly to Back Suplex.

Takashi then caught Inokuma with the Headless Ride (Running Neckbreaker) but made the pin attempt too near the ropes and Inokuma was able to put his foot on the ropes to force the rope-break. Takashi then tried to turn Inokuma over into the Dollars (Inverted Cloverleaf) but 'Future's Present' was able to fight off the attempt.

'Nippon Hart' retained control however taking down Inokuma with a flurry of leaping lariats, before hoisting Inokuma upon his shoulders once again to set up for a DVD or even more decisively the wrist clutch variation he calls the DRRR!!! but just as earlier in the match Inokuma was able to fight his way off and then this time countered into a Kamikochi Suplex (Northern Lights Suplex)......

One.......

Two......

Three!

Takashi then kicked out a fraction later, but it was too late for it to count as a kick out and in this battle of heavyweight young lions it was Inokuma who emerged victorious.

Result: Horiuchi Inokuma [w] bt Go Takashi [L] in 10:03 via pinfalll (Kamikochi Suplex)

Mio Mio's Mochi: All that swinging around is making me dizzy! No wonder he can't stand after delivering a move like that- a bit stupid of him if you ask me.

Takayuki Balls: I wasn't expecting these two to bring the house down, but I was expecting better than that.... The match just felt flat and it was though neither one of them was particularly on their 'game'. Clearly a sign that neither one is quite ready for that big singles push yet and that they need to have a veteran in the ring to carry them to a good match. Perhaps splitting up ShimKuma was not such a good idea (even if that team was never going to win the championship)- Oh well what is already done cannot be undone.

<div style="text-align:center;">Match 5: Hiroto Nori & Koto Arato vs

Dark Wolf II & RIKU</div>

Typically even stuff during the opening exchanges with some intense brawling between Arato and RIKU being the most noteworthy. Things turn in Kuro-Nadeshiko's favour when Nori in the ring against Dark Wolf II, gets cheap-shotted from the apron by RIKU.

RIKU gets tagged in and nails Nori with a Yakuza Kick, before tagging Wolf back in, with the 'Howling Menace' landing a slingshot senton for a two count. The Kuro-Nadeshiko continued to work over Nori in their corner , even at one point using the tag rope to choke the S.H.I.P leader whilst the other had referee Sugimura conveniently distracted. Something that did not go undernoticed by Mio Mio 'Stop choking my Nori-chan, this isn't right, do something about it you blind old fool!'

RIKU then went for a chokeslam, but Nori managed to fight off the attempt, before the S.H.I.P nailed RIKU with a leaping Enziguri. Nori then peppered RIKU with an Endless Nori kick flurry, and then followed up with a Rebound drop-kick....

Before scrambling across to make the tag to Arato- except that referee Sugimura didn't see it, and Nori was then nailed from behind with a lariat from Dark Wolf II. That had Mio Mio throwing a hissy fit at the announce table 'Is there an optician's near here, because the old fart refeering this match, needs to visit one, like....NOW!'

Dark Wolf I then tossed Nori into the corner with a release German suplex, before RIKU hit a guillotine leg drop off the second rope. RIKU then set Nori up for a powerbomb, but 'Battle' managed to fight off the attempt, only to then eat a Yakuza kick. RIKU then tagged in Dark Wolf II who headed up top, and then came crashing down with the Wolf's Rain (Diving Elbow Drop) only for Nori to move out of the way at the last split second....

Nori then caught the 'Howling Menace' with a Reverse STO, before finally getting the tag into a fresh and fired up Koto Arato. 'Strong Dreamer' took down Dark Wolf II with an Arato Lariat, but that could only get a two count as RIKU was able to make the save. RIKU then stomped away on Dark Wolf II, before eventually being sent out of the ring by referee Sugimura...

However it bought Dark Wolf II enough time to sneak in a low blow and try to sneak a surprise roll-up....

Something that almost worked had Nori, not made a last ditch save. Nori however was quickly ordered out of the ring by Sugimura, who then failed to turn his back to RIKU sliding a chair into Dark Wolf II. 'The Howling Menace' swung the chair at Arato, only to have it flying out of his hand with an Arato Lariat!

'Strong Dreamer' then tossed Dark Wolf II overhead with a Release Belly to Belly Suplex, before then knocking RIKU off the ring apron with another Arato Lariat. Arato then tagged Nori back in, who instantly headed up to the top turnbuckle, to land the Flying Bonito (Sky Twister Press) on the 'Howling Menace' and secure the win for S.H.I.P despite the Kuro-Nadeshiko pairs best attempts to win the match by any means necessary.

Result: Hiroto Nori [w] & Koto Arato bt Dark Wolf II [L] & RIKU in 11:31 via pinfall (Flying Bonito)

Mio Mio's Mochi: YESSSSS!!!! One, two, THREEEE!!!

Even that blind old fool, can't fail to count to three. Well done my Nori-chan, you show them....you show them that you're the best...because only the best would deserve my love!

Takayuki Balls: Typical Kuro vs S.H.I.P fare- can superior wrestling ability and determination overcome a shameless will to do anything to gain the victory. Well unless Sairento's involved S.H.I.P normally triumph- so it was no surprise to see them win here, especially as this pairing involved the stable leader and a former heavyweight champion. The match was even predictable in it's structure with Nori playing the babyface in peril- but it's a formula that works and the crowd were pretty into it.

Post Match Comments:

Hiroto Nori: Bring all the reinforcements you want Sairento, in this war against us....I may have been down after what you did to me at Flowers of Hell, but that adversity has only made me grow stronger and I am more determined than ever to rid DIASPORA of the cancer that is you and Kuro-Nadeshiko and I know that Super Junior Championship you hold will be one day be in S.H.I.P's hands, for if Yamato-san or Hideki-san fail in their challenges..eventually you will have to face me and when you face me, you will feel the full force of my wrath strike down upon you!

Match 6: Hiro Date vs Hyotaru Ichigawa</div>

<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=HiroDate.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HiroDate.jpg</a> vs <a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=HyotaruIchigawa.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HyotaruIchigawa.jpg</a></div>

Date plays aggressor at the start of the match, and immediately engages Ichigawa in a striking battle. Ichigawa gives back, as good as Date can give him however and lands the first significant blow of the exhange with a Discus Elbow, but the 'Stampeding Bull' shakes it off and comes back with a headbutt.

Date builds some momentum from that and takes Ichigawa over with an Exploder Suplex for the first near-fall of the match. The 'Stampeding Bull' then applied a waistlock to Ichigawa to set up for another suplex, but the former heavyweight champion was able to fend off the attempt and then force a standing switch....Date was then able to fend off a suplex attempt from Ichigawa, but then got nailed with a Decapitator (Running Bicycle Kick), after trying to nai Ichigawa with a lariat off the ropes.

That sent Date out to the floor....Date then beat the floor count, and with a shoulder barge into Ichigawa's mid-section was able to prevent being sent back into the ring the hard way with suplex- instead Date was then able to reverse the attempt and send Ichigawa crashing back out the floor with a suplex off the apron!

Date took some damage too, from such a high-risk manouevre and referee Ochida applied a double floor count. Date managed to pick himself back up around 15......

But just when it looked as though the 'Stampeding Bull' would get the countout win, Ichigawa was able to beat the floor count at the last split second. Date taunted Ichigawa to get to his feet, before peppering 'White Light' with a series of fore-arm smashes and then drilling Ichigawa with a Brainbuster......

That brought a two count for Date, who then turned Ichigawa over into the Date with Pain (Elevated Boston Crab) but Ichigawa was able to fight his way to the ropes and force a rope-break. Date then came charging at Ichigawa once again, but was tossed over the ropes with a back-body drop. The 'Stampeding Bull' managed to land on the apron but Ichigawa was able to quickly catch one of Date's legs in the ring-ropes before destablizing the 'Stampeding Bull' with a Dragon Screw Leg-Whip.....

Date fell off the apron to the floor....Ichigawa then followed Date out to the floor and after nailing the former tag champion with a Discus Elbow, then applied a Cloverleaf submission out on the floor. Feeling the had done enough to neutralise Date, Ichigawa rolled back into the ring.....

But this time Date was the one to show the determination not to give up the fight and like Ichigawa earlier was able to beat Ochida's floor count at the last split second. Ichigawa remained in control however planting Date with a Hangman's Neckbreaker and then following up with a German Suplex for a two count.

Ichigawa then set up for a Dragon Suplex, but Date suddenly finding another burst of fighting spirit managed to fend off the attempt and then counter into the Rejection II (Backdrop Suplex)....

One.....

Two.....

Thr.....

Ichigawa was able to kick out at the last split second, though he was perhaps aided by the fact that Date was unable to maintain a perfect bridge. It was clear that both Ichigawa and Date were starting to feel the effects of a gruelling match and they engaged in a weary strike battle. Date subjected Ichigawa to another headbutt, and then peppered Ichigawa with a flurry of fore-arms before then setting up for a spear.....

But the 'Stampeding Bull' was still not fully recovered from being put into a Cloverleaf hold from earlier, and Date was slowed down enough for Ichigawa to see the spear coming and nail Date with a Decapitator (Running Bicycle Kick), the 'Stampeding Bull' then staggered into a Chugoku Spike (Cradle Piledriver) from Ichigawa.....

One......

Two....

Thr......

Date somehow managed to find the fighting spirit to kick out of that- but despite his best efforts to his chances of winning alive....Ichigawa was still in control and remained focused. Applying a full nelson to Date, he then planted Date with a Dragon Suplex.....

One.......

Two.....

Three!

This time the 'Stampeding Bull' had absolutely nothing left to give, as Ichigawa picked up a hard fought victory.

Result: Hyotaru Ichigawa [w] bt Hiro Date [L] in 13:41 via pinfall (Dragon Suplex)

Mio Mio's Mochi: I'm actually shocked at what I'm watching here....no lunatics, no incompetency....Could one of you pinch me, because I think I might actually be dreaming.

Takayuki Balls: Even though no one would have been surprised to see Ichigawa, come away with the victory that ended up being a good hard hitting competitive contest. Two old school warriors, who give their all and don't hold anything back for the entire match, but all well within the rule book, something the crowd really seemed to appreciate. I think stuff like Kuro-Nadeshiko's blatant cheating or Tuturu!'s bizarre antics have their place but higher up the card this is just the sort of contest our fanbase want to see.

Minamoto steps into the ring and he has a live mic......

'An impressive win Ichigawa-san, but let me remind you that it means diddly squat- because your name didn't come up in the Karen Ichijou Lottery.

Ebisawa manages to get a few shots in, as Ichigawa drops out of the ring and heads up the entrance ramp. Ebisawa then demands that the bell be rung, to start the match.....

Referee Ochida obliges Ebisawa's request- as the usual pomp as the usual pomp and ceremony for a title match is pushed aside to get the match under way, but then Ebisawa is immediately left frustrated when Minamoto bails out of the ring for a powder. We then proceeded to have a game of cat and mouse between the eager yet frustrated challenge and the chickenshit champion, with Minamoto bailing out of harms way before Ebisawa could get his hands on him.

Invevitably the inexperienced Ebisawa ended up turning into a trap, where he ended up being blindsided by the champion out on the floor. Minamoto then tried to send Ebisawa into the guard-rail but the champion had become over confident at being in control and 'Forceful Dagger' was able to reverse the irish whip and instead it was Minamoto who met the steal guardrail.

Back in the ring Ebisawa whipped Minamoto into the corner and followed in with a Running Corner Splash, before the champion staggered out into a Lariat.... Ebisawa then hoisted the dazed Minamoto upon his shoulders and delivered a fireman's carry backbreaker for a two count.

Ebisawa then pulled 'Rumble Heart' back up to his feet and set up for a Gutwrench Suplex but Minamoto was able to fight his way out but Ebisawa was able to regain immediately control with another Lariat- but was unable to keep the momentum going when Minamoto was able to roll out of the ring again for yet another powder.

A frustrated Ebisawa once again gave chase and stepped out of the ring, only for Minamoto to immediately find a way to roll back into the ring and then send Ebisawa flying off the apron with a Decapitator (Running Bicycle Kick)....

Minamoto then waited for referee Ochida to count Ebisawa out, but 'Forceful Dagger' was able to beat the twenty count, and when Minamoto went to knock Ebisawa off the apron with another Decaptitator, this time Ebisawa saw it coming- stepping down off the apron, to trip Minamoto up and then pull the champion out to the floor, before nailing 'Rumble Heart' with a forearm smash and then planting the champion hard against the apron with a Gutwrench Powerbomb.....

Ebisawa then pitched Minamoto into the ring and made an immediate cover....

One......

Two.....

Thr.......

Minamoto was able to get his shoulder up in time, and keep his championship reign alive. Ebisawa then hoisted Minamoto upon his shoulders and placed the champion in a Torture Rack but 'Rumble Heart' was able to fight his way out of that predicament by raking the face of Ebisawa. Minamoto then appeared to earn himself some respite from Ebisawa's barrage when he drilled 'Forceful Dagger' with a Float Over DDT.

But Ebisawa showing incredible fighting spirit, got up straight away and immediately retook control with a lariat before tossing Minamoto overhead with the Belly2Helly (Release Belly to Belly Suplex).....

One.....

Two.....

Thr......

Yet again though to Ebisawa's frustration Minamoto was able to kick out at the last split second. The challenger remained undettered however and placed the champion in the Okinawan Crab (Reverse Boston Crab).....

'Rumble Heart' looked to be on the verge of tapping out, but once again he found the resolve and determination to keep his championship reign alive and he was able to drag himself and Ebisawa across to the ropes.

This clearly wasn't the 'easy' title defence Minamoto had in mind though and once again he bailed from the ring, and resigning himself to taking the count-out loss in order to retain his title, he began to hobble up the entrance ramp.....

Ebisawa was having none of that though and proceeded to bring the champion back into the ring.....

Minamoto still had enough wits about him, to fend off a Ebisawa Complex (Swinging Side Slam Backbreaker) attempt from Ebisawa and countered with a knee into the challengers groin before drilling the challenger with a Harima DDT (Double Arm DDT).....

One......

Two.....

Ebisawa emphatically kicked out at two and then retook control with another lariat, before whipping the champion across the ring.....Ebisawa then set up for the Dozer (Spear) but unfortunately for the challenger Minamoto saw it coming and then nailed Ebisawa with a Decapitator (Running Bicycle Kick) on the rebound, before 'Forceful Dagger' staggered into the Akira Takano Tea Club Special (Tilt-A-Whirl Headscissors Arm Bar).....

Despite the excrutiating stress Minamoto was placing on his arm, Ebisawa seemed determined to fight through the pain- but there's only so far 'fighting spirit' can take someone and in the end, with Minamoto unrelentless in his application of the submission- Ebisawa saw no choice but to tap out and concede the match. It had to be said though that Minamoto had perhaps underestimated his challenger, with only really the big match inexperience of Ebisawa being the deciding factor.

Result: Eikichi Minamoto [w] bt Taheji Ebisawa [L] in 14:47 via submission (Akira Takano Tea Club Special).

Eikichi Minamoto makes V1 defence of DIASPORA Heavyweight Championship

Mio Mio's Mochi: Somebody needs to tell that Minamoto idiot, that the match is supposed to take place inside of the ring- does he not understand the rules?

Takayuki Balls: Even the most optimistic of Ebisawa fans wouldn't have felt that he had a cat in hells chance of winning here but they still put on a pretty decent match. The story told here was typical of these sort of matches, with the underdog challenger really stepping up there game against an arrogant champion- the crowd bought into Ebisawa's effort and got behind him- even if most of them didn't truly believe that he could do it.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uT47pb2T5pU" rel="external nofollow">Super Driver</a> comes over the speakers and out emerge the Guardians trio of Prime Dragon and the Junior Tag Team champions, Whispered.

Moments later <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IEgk4jtlvks" rel="external nofollow">What's Up People?</a> comes blaring out over the speakers and the Kuro-Nadeshiko trio of Super Junior Champion Sairento, Incognito and Tian long emerge to do battle.

The Kuro- Nadeshiko trio try to jump the Guardians before the bell has rung, but Dragon and Whispered are ready for such an attack and nail their opponents with a trio of drop-kicks. Incognito and Tian Long are sent to the floor, with Dragon and Talisman following up with dives to the floor.

Back in the ring Zodiac drilled Sairento with a spinning head-scissors DDT. The 'Silente Reaper' sits right back up in his customary eerie fashion but Zodiac is undettered and immediately follows in with a basement drop-kick. Zodiac then took Sairento over with a snapmare before Talisman came back in and nailed the Kuro leader with another basement drop-kick to put the Guardians trio in total control.

Prime Dragon is tagged in and delivers a barrage of chops to Sairento, before setting up for a Brainbuster, but the Super Junior champion holds firm and returns fire with a series of fore-arm smashes.The barrage of fore-arms put Dragon on the backfoot, and Sairento then lined up to nail the Guardians leader with a Yakuza Kick, but Dragon manages to step out of the way and then return fire with one of his trademark Rolling Wheel Kicks- a dropkick from Dragon then sent Sairento staggering back into the Guardians corner, where he was then met with stereo Enziguri's off the apron from the Junior Tag champions.

Prime Dragon, then drilled Sairento with a Brainbuster for a two count- before tagging in Zodiac. Zodiac went to set up for the Zodiac Sniper, but Sairento was able to counter into a backbody drop only for 'Innovations God' to land on his feet and plant the 'Silent Reaper' with a German Suplex.....

That got another two count, before Zodiac tossed Sairento back into the Guardians corner and then made the tag to Talisman, who immediately went up top..... Zodiac and Prime Dragon then held Sairento in place across the top-rope as Talisman then came crashing down upon Sairento's mid-section with a front-flip senton bomb.

Prime Dragon was then tagged back in and then went for the Dragonsault (Springboard Moonsault).......

That looked as though it might be it for Sairento, but unfortunately for the Guardians, referee Sugimura's attention was diverted by Incognito and Tian Long, who obviously thought that it was time they intervened or risk losing the contest. Prime Dragon then noticed that referee Sugimura's attention wasn't on counting the pin, which gave Sairento the perfect opportunity to sneak a low blow from behind.

<div style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=SohTerajima.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_SohTerajima.jpg</a> <a href="http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/?action=view&current=BloodSpiderJr.jpg" rel="external nofollow">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_BloodSpiderJr.jpg</a>

A pair of nuisances</div>

Whispered's attention was then suddenly taken by the Salty Delinquents of Blood Spider Jr and Soh Terajma, who had sneaked round to the Guardians corner and proceeded to attack the Junior Tag champions.

Zodiac and Talisman fired right back but the Delinquents had their attention dived, leading to Whispered being dragged into a brawl up the entrance ramp. What meant that was Dragon was now left all alone with the Kuro-Nadeshiko trio.

Sairento whipped Dragon hard into the corner, before the Kuro-trio proceeded to methodically take turns to stomp away on the Guardians leader, as the Grand Pillar found himself subjected to a Kuro-Stomp (Surfboard Curbstomp) and a Facewash from his nemesis Sairento.

The Kuro trio began to ramp up the pressure when Tian Long planted Dragon with a Chokeslam, followed by a Slingshot Senton from Incognito before Sairento then followed up with a Diving Double Stomp for a two count.

Dragon was then subjected to a Tilt-A-Whirl Backbreaker from Sairento, before Incognito teased a standing moonsault, but instead just delivered an arrogant back heel flick to Prime Dragon's face, as the 'Grand Pillar' lay prone on the mat- before flipping off the crowd- something that earned Incognito many jeers.

Sairento then made a somewhat arrogant, one footed cover- that Dragon defiantely kicked out of, but the 'Grand Pillar' soon found himself stomped back down onto the canvas. Tian Long was then tagged back in, and then proceeded to taunt the increasingly worn down Dragon to get back to his feet before taking the champion straight back off them with a Dragon Screw Leg-Whip.

Long turned things back over to Sairento, who then went to place Dragon in an Ankle-Lock but the Guardians leader, managed to fend off the attempt, somehow landing a glancing blow and then following in with a rolling wheel kick. Dragon then naiiled Sairento with a desperation drop-kick before looking to tag out to either of his team mates....

But unfortunately for him both Zodiac and Talisman were nowhere to be seen and it appeared as though their attentions were still occupied with the Salty Delinquents.

It looked as though all hope had been drained away for Dragon, as he turned right round into a Yakuza Kick, and then found himself hoisted upon the shoulders of Sairento- but the former Super Junior Champion built his championship reign on looking down and out only for overcome the odds, and he was able to counter with a crucifix bomb. Dragon then managed to muster up a burst of fighting spirt....landing a rolling senton splash on the 'Silent Reaper' before then immediately following up a DRAGONSAULT (Springboard Moonsault).....

It was the second time Dragon had managed to land the move on Sairento in the match, and surely this time it would earn him victory.....

One....

Two....

Thr....

No! Tian Long managed to make the last ditch save- cracking a Kendo Stick over the Guardians leader- As Incognito managed to conveniently distract referee Sugimura. Long then managed to reel off a couple more Kendo shots, before discarding of the weapon.

Tian Long then tagged in and taunted Prime Dragon to get back to his feet-before stopping any attempted rally from the 'Grand Pillar' in it's tracks with one of Dragon's own signature moves a Palm Strike. Long then spun Dragon round and planted the former Junior champoon with a Dragon Suplex....

One.....

Two.....

Thr....

Prime Dragon defiantly kicked out, but then found himself placed in the Dynasty Lock (Inverted STF).....

Despite the predicament he found himself in, 'quit' clearly isn't a word in the Guardians leaders vocabularly, refusing to tap out to the Dynasty Lock and somehow managing to muster up enough energy to force a rope-break.

That left the 'Imperial One' frustrated but Dragon looked to be a spent force and still Whispered were nowhere to be seen......

Incognito was now tagged back , and El Pesadilla Hermosa then looked to be going up top, but instead suddenly decided against it- whilst proceeding to shout out something in spanish that more than likely translated to 'You losers do not deserve to see something as magnificent as me do a moonsault'....

Incognito then proceeded to simply take a punt at Dragon- but his arrogance almost back fired as Dragon saw it coming and then almost caught Incognito by surprise with a schoolboy roll-up.....

Incognito however managed to kick out and then quickly seized back control with his trademark Tilt-A-Whirl Russian Legsweep- before turning it back over to Sairento.

The 'Silent Reaper' then proceeded to taunt Dragon with a series of paintbrush slaps, with the Guardians leader, clearly now running on 'empty' and in desperate need to tag out of the match. Dragon managed to make a weak rally with a few strikes into Sairento's mid-section but it was soon cut off with a fore-arm smash from the Super Junior Champion, before Sairento then looked to be setting up for the Death Note (Spike Brainbuster)....

But Dragon somehow managed to dig out one last burst of fighting spirit, by managing to hold off the Death Note and then rock the 'Silent Reaper' with a Palm Strike before then managing to drill Sairento with a Prime Driver (Over The Shoulder Belly to Back Piledriver).....

Dragon was too worn down to make a cover though, and scrambled across to his corner to tag out....

But yet again no one was there- and despite just being drilled into the canvas Sairento was able to get the tag to Incognito first.....

However, just as it looked like Dragon would be forced to fend off Incognito, Whispered had finally managed to make it back to ringside and Zodiac hopped up on the apron to take the tag from a desperate and spent Prime Dragon.

Zodiac then reannounced his re-arrival into the match in typically spectcular fashion by nailing Incognito with a springboard missile drop-kick. Before planting Incognito with a Blue Thunder Driver .....

One......

Two....

Thr.....

Incognito managed to kick out, but Zodiac then proceed to tag in Talisman, who then took down 'El Pesadilla Hermosa' with a Spinning Sit-Out Sleeper Slam, as Whispered began to seize back control of the match.

The Junior Tag champions then looked to be setting Incognito up for the Steins Gate (Wheelbarrow dropped into a double knee gutbuster only for Long to make a desperation intervention and nail Zodiac from behind.

Referee Sugimura completely ignornes the fact that Long has illegally re-inserted himself into the match, but the Junior Tag champions, but Zodiac fires back and then whips long into the corner, whilst Talisman does the same to Incognito into the opposite corner, before delivering a corner drop-kick and a handspring back elbow into the opposite corner. The Junior Tag champions then each headed up top, before delivering stereo Tornado DDT's to IMPERIOUS.

Both then decided to head up top as......

Talisman came crashing down upon Tian Long with the Golden Idol (Shooting Star Press) and then just a second later, Zodiac then came crashing down upon Incognito with the Universe (450 Splash).....

Zodiac then made the cover on Incognito....

One....

Two....

Thr.....

Sairento made the desperation save....a refreshed Prime Dragon then proceeded to rush out of the corner but was cut off by referee Sugimura. At that point Soh Terajima reappeared and then proceeded to swing his trademark Black Box towards Zodiac, only for 'Innovations God' to duck out of the way, and for Terajima to end up nailing Sairento instead!

Zodiac then proceeded to take out the intefering Terajima once and for all with a Zodiac Sniper-X (Front Flip Piledriver)....

Blood Spider Jr then appeared back on the scene, but an attempt to spew his Poison Mist, was cut off by Talisman who proceeed to take out the 'New Nightmare' with a spinning headscissors facebuster.

Unfortuantely for Zodiac though, Sairento had shook off the Black Box Shot and the Junior Tag champion was nailed with a Yazuka Kick from the 'Silent Reaper' before being drilled with the Death Note (Spike Brainbuster).....

Dragon came into make the save, but was taken out with a spinning heel kick from Incognito who then took the Guardians leader out with an Arabian Press.

Sairento then made the cover on Talisman

One......

Two.....

Thr.....

Talisman however was able to make the save, but was soon nailed with a rolling elbow from Sairento, who then set Talisman up for a Powerbomb.....

But he should know by now that attempting to powerbomb Talisman is not a good idea and the 'Second Coming' countered into the Front Flip Facebuster known as the Higurashi!

One...

Two....

Thr......

Tian Long, was back in to make the last ditch save but Talisman was able to stay a step ahead and the Junior Tag champion was able to take down the 'Imperial One' with the God Knows (Spinning Headscissors into a Crucifix Pin)....

One....

Two....

Thr.....

Incognito was able to get back into the save however and then planted Talisman with the Incognito Driver (Snapmare Driver)......

One.....

Two....

Thr.....

Zodiac made the save this time for his team, and then proceed to drop-kick Incognito out of the ring. Tiang Long however then took out Zodiac with a Sleeper Suplex, before noticing that Talisman was still rooted to the canvas.

The Imperial One then decided to drag Talisman into place and head up top, but all of a sudden Prime Dragon re-appeared and then proceeed to race up the turbuckles to then send Tian Long Crashing back into the ring with the Dragon's Flame (Moonsault Side Slam).....

One.....

Sairento came in to make the save, but Talisman had recovered just enough to hold off the Kuro-Nadeshiko leader.

Two.....

Three!

This time the Guardians had managed to overcome the odds that Kuro-Nadeshiko attempted to stack against them and emerge with the victory.

Result: Prime Dragon [w], Zodiac & Talisman bt Sairento, Incognito & Tian Long via pinfall in 26:36 (Dragon's Flame)

Rating: 83

Mio Mio's Mochi: It's hard to know, who to support in this match- when everyone of them looks shifty. Oh come on, wearing a mask is shifty....it is!

Takayuki Balls: That was superb main event, that really ended the show on a high note and sent the fans away happy. This had that blend of top quality action and engaging storytelling to make this one a match that the fans will be talking about for a good while yet.

Post Match Comments:

Prime Dragon: Tonight we proved people wrong- the Guardians are not falling apart, and I am not a spent force. It may have been a rocky road of late but despite what Hiroto Nori and S.H.I.P will claim , it will be I who will avenge my loss to you first Sairento, it will be myself and the Guardians who will take yourself and Kuro-Nadeshiko out once and for all.

<div style="text-align:center;">Overall: 78</div>

Takayuki's Final Verdict: This is one of those shows that definitely picked up momentum during the second half and managed to culminate in a great main event. I knew we couldn't trust Minamoto- Ebisawa enough to main event the show, but they did enough to justify being placed in the semi-main slot.

Big Roguey · March 19, 2013

I may have to steal the handshake/fist bump stand off at some point because it is sheer genius. Cracking show TK as usual. You're the standard that I one day hope to reach with my writing.

Infernalmiko · March 19, 2013

Result: Chojiro Ono [w] & Soh Terajima bt Fuku Machine [L] & Junichi Matsuo in 8:32 via pinfall (Okinawa Battle Bomb)

'Confused Thunder' is a great name. Otherwise, pretty much as expected. A little more Sugimura than anticipated but no one was expecting JuniFuku to win this one.

Result: Chojiro Ono [w] & Soh Terajima bt Fuku Machine [L] & Junichi Matsuo in 8:32 via pinfall (Okinawa Battle Bomb)

Eh, just a bunch of midcarders.

with just a slight case of midcarder apathy from the crowd,

See? It wasn't just me!

Result: Meido Machine [w] bt Ebi Kavidar [L] in 11:30 via pinfall (Moe Moe Clutch)

The return of Neko Man! As if Meido Machine was not silly enough! I'm commenting on the last two matches together because they are between teams. And while they were competitive they pretty clearly show the Ambassador's Club has a ways to go before being a factor in DIASPORA. I wonder what their pop is in Japan. It can't be 0 or they'd be rebranded as the Fuku Ambassadors. On a side note, Fuku Machine strikes me as the sort of guy who has a ton of bodyhair, which just makes the mental image of him in the costume that much funnier. HUSTLE and Meido with the wins, though Meido had to show ple nty of spirit to pull it off, so there is still some life in this little feud.

Result: Horiuchi Inokuma [w] bt Go Takashi [L] in 10:03 via pinfalll (Kamikochi Suplex)

Disappointing. I don't have high hopes for Inokuma but Takashi is someone I keep thinking can be a star. Not yet, though.

Result: Hiroto Nori [w] & Koto Arato bt Dark Wolf II [L] & RIKU in 11:31 via pinfall (Flying Bonito)

do something about it you blind old fool!'

$ugimura is reffing the match? Hey, he is! But he's a old, blind, RICH fool. The match mat have been predictable but it had the elements I enjoy. Arato as the porky badass, Nori is trouble but always fighting back. And Kuro pulling out every trick to try and steal the win.

Result: Hyotaru Ichigawa [w] bt Hiro Date [L] in 13:41 via pinfall (Dragon Suplex)

I agree with Takayuki's comments on this. Ichigawa is the king of old school hard nosed wrestling and Date matches up with him well. I had no doubt of the outcome but the results were still satisfying. I want to see Ichigawa push himself back into contention against Minamoto soon, even if Minamoto tries to duck him.

Result: Eikichi Minamoto [w] bt Taheji Ebisawa [L] in 14:47 via submission (Akira Takano Tea Club Special).

It's a sad sad day when the world title is on top of the card. This was more competative than expected and continued to give me a WCW Jericho vibe to Minamoto with his devious cowardice and resourceful ways of winning. The final score was better than expected, Minamoto must have really carried the younger guy here.

Result: Prime Dragon [w], Zodiac & Talisman bt Sairento, Incognito & Tian Long via pinfall in 26:36 (Dragon's Flame)

Best match and best write up of the night. Guardians come back strong. Talisman somehow continues to behave. It's easy to forget what a troublemaker he used to be. the backstage must be keeping him in line. And Zodiac/Zergon. Typical 3v3 with all the wild action, the s neaky interference, $ugimura picking his spots to help Kuro. But he wasn't very successful tonight and getting the wins for his guys.

HUSTLE's is around 60. * Eventually it will come round to Ichigawa getting another shot at the Heavyweight title- but the whole Karen Ichijou Lottery angle with Minamoto has only just kicked off- so the likelyhood of Ichigawa getting the next title shot are very slim.

DIASPORA's Blazing Eye Tour continues on Thursday 10th May, when they head to the Nagoya Central Gym.

The battle between the Guardians of DIASPORA and Kuro-Nadeshiko continues in the main event. Last time out Prime Dragon managed to earn the win for the Guardians, but that was in a match where he was going into battle alongside two team members he can trust the Junior Tag champs Whispered- this time round he is teaming with the increasingly self centred Eikichi Minamoto against a Kuro-Nadeshiko pairing consisting of nemesis Sairento and one half of the All Asia tag champions GUSHIKEN. The Guardians duo consisting of a former Super Junior champion and the current Heavyweight Champion certainly have the capabilities to win the match, the big question is can they stay on the same page in order to do so?

S.H.I.P and Kuro-Nadeshiko will also be engaging one another- with Hiroto Nori teaming alongside Hiro Date against Incognito and RIKU, whilst Oda Yamawaki teams with New Solution (Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki) to take on Chojiro Ono, Dark Wolf II & Blood Spider Jr.

It has been revealed that Hyotaru Ichigawa and Taheji Ebisawa are now labelling their team as the 'Warriors of Tradition', a further sign that the pair are looking to make their team a more permanent arrangement, whether or not this leads to them recruiting more members and beginning a new faction remains to be seen at this stage. WoT will face off against a pairing with a similar veteran/young lion set up and a similar fight hard but fight fair philosophy in Team Ganbatte! (Koto Arato & Go Takashi)...whoever emerges with the win in this match should put themselves into a good position to challenge for the All Asia Tag titles.

The Ambassadors Club were left frustrated in Hakodate, when they lost out in both of their singles matches against MOE! MONEY!, with Kavidar blaming his loss to Meido on the distraction made by the mysterious cat man- that lead to the Ambassadors Club challenging MOE! MONEY! and their cat associate (whose in ring name at time to going to press is revealed to be Nyan Nyan Neko Man) to a six man tag. Crowley and Kavidar have managed to persuade Horiuchi Inokuma to fight alongside them and ensure that the match is a six man tag as intended and not a handicap match.

Tuturu!'s other members will be both be in singles matches, with Junichi Matsuo taking on Junior Tag champion Zodiac, whilst Fuku Machine goes up against Kuro-Nadeshiko's Soh Terajima. Rounding out the main show card will be a Junior Division 4 way featuring Hideaki Kasuse, Talisman, Tian Long and Xtinction, whils the bonus pre-show match sees Kohei Hidaka take on Aki Shimizudani

Tiberious · March 21, 2013

Prime Dragon & Eikichi Minamoto vs Sairento & GUSHIKEN

I'm tempted to go for the heel win here, but I think Minamoto and Prime Dragon edge out their opponents.

Hiroto Nori & Hiro Date vs Incognito & RIKU

Hiro Squad takes a victory. Riku feels a bit like the heavyweight version of what Dark Wolf II was last season.

Team Ganbatte! (Koto Arato & Go Takashi) vs Warriors of Tradition (Hyotaru Ichigawa & Taheji Ebisawa)

They just got a name, so why not give them a push to go with it.

Chojiro Ono, Blood Spider Jr & Dark Wolf II vs Oda Yamawaki, Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki

Until I saw his name I genuinely forgot that Blood Spider Jr existed.

Junichi Matsuo vs Zodiac

Matsuo will give it a good go, but he's not on Zodiac's level.

Meido Machine, HUSTLE Umiro & Nyan Nyan Neko Man vs Ebi Kavidar, Paul Crowley & Horiuchi Inokuma

The Ambassador's are again frustrated as they lose once more.

Fuku Machine vs Soh Terajima

Meh.

Hideaki Kasuse vs Talisman vs Tian Long vs Xtinction

It's either Talisman or Tian Long's win here, and I'll go for the rising star rather than the aging Long.

Aki Shimizudani vs Kohei Hidaka

Hidaka has some use as a tag guy, that's more then Shimizudani can say.

Zergon · March 21, 2013

Prime Dragon & Eikichi Minamoto vs Sairento & GUSHIKEN

Minamoto´s antics prove to be Dragon´s downfall once again.

Hiroto Nori & Hiro Date vs Incognito & RIKU

I see the S.H.I.P pair being slighly higher on pecking order.

Team Ganbatte! (Koto Arato & Go Takashi) vs Warriors of Tradition (Hyotaru Ichigawa & Taheji Ebisawa)

Tough one but I go with more established team even though I see Ichigawa being the top guy here.

Chojiro Ono, Blood Spider Jr & Dark Wolf II vs Oda Yamawaki, Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki

S.H.I.P trio is higher on pecking order once again.

Junichi Matsuo vs Zodiac

Will likely be competitive match but Zodiac should win this one.

Meido Machine, HUSTLE Umiro & Nyan Nyan Neko Man vs Ebi Kavidar, Paul Crowley & Horiuchi Inokuma

I guess HUSTLE is the most over guy in this one but I still think that Ambassadors Club will get a win back after losing both singles matches in last show.

Fuku Machine vs Soh Terajima

I still can´t see Fuku winning.

Hideaki Kasuse vs Talisman vs Tian Long vs Xtinction

Didn´t Long have a title shot coming? I´m pretty sure he was one of those four who did and in that case he should stay strong here as Talisman seemingly isn´t competing for Cruiserweight title right now.

Aki Shimizudani vs Kohei Hidaka

I´m actually suprised that Shimizudani still is in DIASPORA so I guess it´s not hard to guess who I won´t be picking to win matches.

Kitarzu · March 21, 2013

Prime Dragon & Eikichi Minamoto vs Sairento & GUSHIKEN

Hiroto Nori & Hiro Date vs Incognito & RIKU

Team Ganbatte! (Koto Arato & Go Takashi) vs Warriors of Tradition (Hyotaru Ichigawa & Taheji Ebisawa)

Infernalmiko · March 22, 2013

Prime Dragon & Eikichi Minamoto vs Sairento & GUSHIKEN

PD and Sairento are about even. Minamoto is well above Gushiken. And Minamoto at times seems to care what PD thinks of him.

Hiroto Nori & Hiro Date vs Incognito & RIKU

I think Nori needs to keep his win streak going.

Team Ganbatte! (Koto Arato & Go Takashi) vs Warriors of Tradition (Hyotaru Ichigawa & Taheji Ebisawa)

Ebisawa for the lose. Loss. Whatever. He's still by far the lowest of these.

Chojiro Ono, Blood Spider Jr & Dark Wolf II vs Oda Yamawaki, Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki

I think Kuro needs the win more here.

Junichi Matsuo vs Zodiac

Easy. I wish there was some way to turbo charge Matsuo's pop though.

Meido Machine, HUSTLE Umiro & Nyan Nyan Neko Man vs Ebi Kavidar, Paul Crowley & Horiuchi Inokuma

I think they need the win more to keep this feud going.

Fuku Machine vs Soh Terajima

Soh will have to cheat but he'll win. Maybe $ugimura will earn his money this time.

Hideaki Kasuse vs Talisman vs Tian Long vs Xtinction

Tough to pick between Talisman and Tian Long. I'll go with Talisman though, he has more future.

Aki Shimizudani vs Kohei Hidaka

Can the sushi match be the opener?

Blazing Eye Tour 4

Thursday 10th May 2012,

Nagoya Central Gym, Nagoya, Chubu (1'887- No Vacancy)

Match 0: Aki Shimizudani vs Kohei Hidaka

Hidaka had the better of it in the early going, keeping Shimizudani off balance with drop-kicks and headscissors take-downs. Shimizudani turned things round with a Uranage Backbreaker and then almost secured victory with a Belly to Belly Suplex.

However S-Pulse missed a running shoulder block and Hidaka was able to take advantage of the miscue by drilling Shimizudani with the Bite and Bark (Diving Bulldog) to secure the victory.

Result: Kohei Hidaka [w] bt Aki Shimizudani in 6:20 via pinfall (Bite and Bark)

Rating: 40

Takayuki Balls: Two men stepped into a square 'ring' and they wrestled for a bit- no one cared- not even their mothers.

___________________________________________________________

Main Show

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

blasts out over the speakers and out emerges the Heavyweight champion Eikichi Minamoto....

He picks up a mic from the announce desk- which means that crowd will have to endure him talking about himself.....

' I still stand before you the DIASPORA Heavyweight champion- just as I will continue to do so for a very long time...perhaps even forever. In fact there's more chance of Harima finally being able to declare his love for Tenma- than there is of someone beating me for this belt!'

The crowd jeer at Minamoto's arrogance...

'Groan all you like, you know it's the truth- but you know what sometimes miracles can happen and perhaps someone could miraculously beat me. Very doubtful, but there's a 0.000000000000000000000001 % it could happen.....'

A section of the crowd, start up an Ichigawa chant

'There's even less chance of that old duffer Ichigawa beating me!'

Minamoto generates even more heat after that show of disrespect to the former champion

'Well it's time to find out just who the next hapless hopeful will be, for one again I give to your the Karen Ichijou Lottery!

Well we know for sure it won't be Ebisawa...monkey boy had his chance and he failed. Now i'll admit he gave it a good effort, but good effort is not good enough when you're in the ring with legendary greatness!'

Minamoto pauses for a bit- as though he's contemplating something...

'Now there's been some rather hurtful accusations, that I'm fixing the lottery to face easier opponents....nothing could be further from the truth- because when you're as great as I am, every opponent is easy!'

Minamoto's arrogance is through the roof, and the crowd are letting him know just what they think of his grating attitude.

'Believe in what you want, but you know no one in the back there can touch me!

Anyway if we could focus back on what matters right now and that's the Karen Ichjou Lottery....

Ridiculous accusations aside, I am willing to make things even more fair- by giving one of you- the chance to pull out the ball from the box and select my next opponent!'

Then again I don't think this opportunity should go to just any fan....this should be for someone for whom this moment will be truly special....

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQsT3zqOU6GLdfzZ6eDx8O2gln5qtYuFgSwbOikP99_4ca2coMP

Thankfully Shinji was wearing more than this, when he came to watch the show.

Eikichi Minamoto points at what looks to be a plumpish boy of about ten- in the front row, wearing a Prime Dragon T-Shirt. The sort of kid who believes that it's REAL and that Minamoto really is a School Rumble obsessed jerk... then again that might actually be real.

'Someone like that Prime Dragon fanboy, right there'

The Prime Dragon fanboy is somewhat reluctantly ushered into the ring, whilst at the same time some random Bishojo girl, enters the ring with the Karen Ichijou lottery box.

' So what's your name kid?'

'errr....its...'

'No need to be so nervous kid, I'm not going to put you in the Akira Takano Tea Club Special or drop you on your head with an Ode To Eri'

'It's Shinji!'

'Alright Shinji, so I take it your favourite wrestler is Prime Dragon'

'Yes, Prime Dragon !, Prime Dragon!'

'Do you think that Prime Dragon will be my next opponent?'

'Don't know mister'

'OK, maybe that was a stupid question, this a lottery after all!....

Let me rephrase the question, if Prime Dragon is my next opponent, who do you think would win between me and Prime Dragon!'

'PRIME DRAGON!'

'Wrong answer Shinji- for one he just ain't big enough to face me for this title and secondly even if he was....he'd still lose'

' But Prime Dragon is bigger than you, will ever be!'

'You're pretty stupid aren't you Shinji?'

Shinji now looks to be on the verge of tears, after such a rude remark from Minamoto...

The heavyweight champion can now add verbally abusing a child, to his tick list of generating heat.

'You're not very nice mister!' shouted Shinji- before the kid decided to storm out of the ring....

'Oh well I didn't really want to do this...but hey I don't want to delay this show anyone, so it's looks I'm going to have to do the draw myself!'

Minamoto digs his hand into the box, and takes out one of the capsule balls....

He then pulls it apart, takes out the piece of paper......

GO TAKASHI

' Now there's a winner!...what you're telling me he lost on the last show....oh well as I said miracles can happen and it truly would be a miracle, if that guy beat me for this title.....

You've got one week to prepare Takashi, one week to prepare for the biggest challenge of your career...a challenge you will fail at but it's a challenge you must take on, unless you will breaking the hearts of all the fans that believe in you.....Yes believe in hope Takashi, believe in your fighting spirit, believe that you can be champion, believe in the unbelievable!'

Minamoto then leaves the ring to a chorus of jeers from the fans.....

Rating: 76

Takayuki Balls: Minamoto's jerk-ass heel character is one of the most entertaining things in DIASPORA right now....Not many on the roster, can keep an audience clamouring for some in-ring action fully engaged with a microphone segment but Minamoto is one of the few on the roster who can.

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

Standard 4 way stuff, with a brief feeling out period, then it breaking down with the obligatory dives to the floor and then a rush of near-falls.

The finishing stretch saw Xtinction overcook a Super Spot X (Shooting Star Press) attempt on Tian Long....Xtinction then staggered up to his feet only to be planted with a standing Shiranui from Talisman. Talisman however was then taken out with a Roll With It (Rolling Cutter) from Kasuse.

However Tian Long snuck up behind Kasuse and planted 'Bitter Pill' with a Dragon Suplex- Kasuse kicked out at two, but the Imperial One quickly synched in the Dynasty Lock (Inverted STF) and Kasuse quickly tapped out, before either Talisman or Xtinction were able to come back in and break things up.

Result: Tian Long [w] bt Hideaki Kasuse [L] + Talisman + Xtinction

Rating: 52

Mio Mio's Mochi: I really wanted the guy not a wearing mask to come out on top- but he lets me down....that's something my Nori-chan wouldn't do!

Takayuki Balls: Formulaic stuff- though perhaps a little suprising to see a submission being used to pick up the win in this sort of match. Talisman is of course the only out of these four I see as having long term potential but Tian Long does have a Junior title shot in the pipeline and besides I have to keep the boss happy by having his friend (we're talking real life here) remain looking strong.

Match #2: Fuku Machine vs Soh Terajima

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HunterWolfe_alt1.jpg vs http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_SohTerajima.jpg

Fuku Machine makes his

:

But is then blindsided by Soh Terajima. Terajima puts the boots to 'Confused Thunder' for a bit, but the reluctant Tuturu! member fires back with a clothesline.

A Running Powerslam followed by a flying shoulder tackle off the second turnbuckle, brings Fuku a two count before Terajima bails to the floor. A fired up Fuku Machine gives chase but gets clipped with a chop block from 'the Cloaked Assassin'. Terajima then managed to get in one of his customary Black Box Shots, before pitching Fuku Machine back into the ring.

Fuku kicked out of a pin attempt from Terajima, but the 'Cloaked Assassin' further took control with a Spinning Heel kick and a snap DDT. Terajima then tried to finish things when he went for Soh The Seeds Of Tera (Forwward Somersault Jawbreaker) but Fuku Machine was able to block the attempt and reseized control with a High Angle Belly to Back Suplex.

Fuku then delivered a Fireman's Carry Backbreaker, before planting the 'Cloaked Assassin' with the Nagato Bomb (Blue Thunder Driver)....

However just as Fuku was making the pin, referee Sugimura got distracted by Terajima's fellow Salty Delinquent hopping up onto the apron. Fuku realizing what was happening, turned his attention away from Terajma, who was able to take full advantage by sneaking in a low blow and then pinning 'Confused Thunder' with a victory roll. Conveniently for Terajima right at that moment Sugimura turned his attention back to the match.

Result: Soh Terajima [w] bt Fuku Machine [L] in 6:11 via pinfall (Low Blow Victory Roll)

Rating: 44

Mio Mio's Mochi: I'm surprised that low blow was effective, considering that other competitor is wearing a skirt!

Takayuki Balls: The match actually had some decent action, and Hunter errr Fuku Machine actually looked pretty impressive in this match- albeit it was set up for him to 'look strong' for much of the contest. However this was still a match between a lower midcarder whose only method of winning is cheating and a guy who has won a match yet currently saddled with a bizarre comedy gimmick- so crowd reaction was as muted to be expected.

Match #3: Meido Machine, HUSTLE Umiro & Nyan Nyan Neko Man vs

Ebi Kavidar, Paul Crowley & Horiuchi Inokuma

The Ambassadors Club and Inokuma are in no mood for the Tuturu! trio's wacky fun, and jump them before the bell has even rung. Leading to some chaotic brawling in and out of the ring that referee Ochida struggles to keep a lid on. The chaotic start however back fires for Ambassadors Club plus one, when Meido manages to pick up a squeezy bottle of chocolate sauce from under the ring and squirts into the face of Kavidar and then plant's the 'High Sheik' with an STO.

Back in the ring HUSTLE is brawling with Inokuma, but then the tables are turned when Meido slides in , and then combines with HUSTLE to deliver their signature double team snap suplex.

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQf5fqse4i-vRSvRHC_xhgnUSntsNVZJCHsu28z3L0c0Enr2Wz_tQ

MOE!

MONEY!

Crowley then comes in but gets levelled with a lariat from HUSTLE which puts the Tuturu! trio in control. Crowley endures some of MOE! MONEY!'s signature double teams, including a double elbow drop after a double drop toe hold. But when HUSTLE lined up to level Crowley with another lariat, he was tripped up by Inokuma- Kavidar then charged out of the corner to knock both Meido and Neko Man off the apron.

Crowley then fired off a sequence of a Knee Lift, European Uppercut and a Hammerlock DDT on HUSTLE to put himself and Ambassadors Club plus one in control. The Ambassadors Club then worked over HUSTLE with some of their signature double teams- such as the Camel Clutch/Basement drop kick combo and the snap suplex followed by a moonsault. Inokuma however was getting frustrated at being 'ignored' by his team mates- and made a blind tag, just as Crowley planted HUSTLE with a Russian Legsweep.

HUSTLE kicked out of Inokuma's pin attempt much to the annoyance of the Ambassadors Club. Inokuma then exchanged heated words with his own tag partners- which enabled HUSTLE to recover ans rock Inokuma with a lariat. However 'Future's Present' halted a rally from the 'Ducker Diver' with a boot into HUSTLE's lower region, before delivering a Delayed Vertical Suplex.

Inokuma then made an arrogant cover- one footed cover that HUSTLE easily kicked out of. Inokuma remained in control though, and set up for the Sea-Change (Spinning Side Slam)- however he had not reckoned on Meido preparing a chocolate parfait for HUSTLE.

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcR7QxA-MmAyl5iInG0Mbn0YDhPAPVuGgs38Wv7pH3EH29F5O8K2VQ

Parfait Power-Up!

HUSTLE blocked the Sea-Change....and with the power of the Chocolate Parfait Hulk Up- fired back with a lariat, then a Fireman's Carry Facebuster..... HUSTLE of course wasn't worried about making the cover, he just wanted one of Meido's incredibly addictive chocolate parfait's.

HUSTLE then made the tag to Nyan Nyan Neko Man- who was then successful in preventing Inokuma from tagging out- because despite the fact that the relationship between himself and the Ambassadors Club had broken down- they were still available to take the tag. Neko Man then planted Inokuma with a Leg Hook Belly to Back Suplex for a two count- before locking on an Ankle Lock- or as it was called at the announce table by Kogara- the 'Ny-Ankle Lock'

Inokuma looked set to tag out to the bizarre cat cosplaying newcomer- but the Ambassadors Club were desperate enough not to lose to Tuturu! again, and made the save. Kavidar sneaked in a low blow on Neko Man, whilst Crowley knocked MOE! MONEY! off the apron before taking the tag from a suddenly desperate Inokuma.

Crowley planted Neko Man with a Northern Lights Suplex for a two count- before then combining with Kavidar on the By Royal Appointment (assisted corkscrew moonsault)-

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/--S4OHbdOYlk/TmMnZwrphpI/AAAAAAAAALA/XeVhZyHrVOc/s320/mio_maid_moe_moe_kyun.jpg.jpeg

Moe Time!

But as Kavidar made the cover- Meido threw up the heart symbol- causing the MOE! Time freeze. HUSTLE Umiro then broke up the cover with a Senton Bomb.....

Before sending Kavidar out of the ring with a lariat, whilst Meido had now climbed up top and drilled Crowley with the Meido Beam missile drop-kick. Crowley then found himself being taken out by the Hare Hare Setsunai (Lariat/Reverse STO combo).....

It then looked as though Inokuma had recovered enough to make the save, but 'Future's Present' decided he had enough and climbed back down off the apron- leaving Crowley to be pinned for the second event in a row by HUSTLE Umiro.

Result: Meido Machine, HUSTLE Umiro [w] & Nyan Nyan Neko Man bt Ebi Kavidar, Paul Crowley [L] & Horiuchi Inokuma in 11:46 via pinfall (Hare Hare Setsunai)

Rating: 59

Mio Mio's Mochi: Why the hell is everyone frozen right now- am I the only one immune to this ridiculous heart symbol nonsense. Now if I were to sit here wearing a bikini, that would be a reason for everyone stop what they are doing but some screwed up guy wearing a maid outfit, doing a heart symbol?!!

Takayuki Balls: It's not always the case, but tonight's crowd were into Tuturu!'s antics during the this match, and they accepted it for what it was- a comedy driven lower card match. However that's not to say that there wasn't some decent wrestling mixed in there too. I'm sure alot of people would have been expecting the Ambassadors Club to get a win back here- but this match showcase the importance of teamwork and poor-man's Minamoto Inokuma- showed himself to be a poor choice of team-mate.

Post Match Comments:

Ebi Kavidar: We were foolish to trust someone as selfish as nokuma to be our partner.

Paul Crowley: Indeed- mark our words Tuturu! this isn't over - you got lucky again this time but we will not be able to stand here proudly, until we erase the indignity of being defeated by the likes of you.

Ebi Kavidar: I have bought shame upon my Emirate, with these losses- I wan't you to feel the shame that I am suffering- we shall humiliate you, like you humiliate us!

Match #4: Junichi Matsuo vs Zodiac

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

With Zodiac being one of the most popular members of the DIASPORA roster, and Matsuo's Bishojo assisted dance routine being popular with many members of the audience- this was going to be match up where both competitors had the fans on their side.

They engage in some fast paced chain wrestling at the start- exchanging arm-drags and such like......neither are really able to secure an advantage and it results in a stand off, followed by a nod of respect between the two competitors.

Matsuo perhaps feeling he has a bit more of a point to prove in a DIASPORA ring, ups the aggression a bit more and switches to a more strike paced attack, however he telegraph's a spin kick, and Zodiac takes 'Sexy Zone' off his feet with a low drop-kick. Matsuo gets back up but staggers into a Spinning Sit Out Facebuster.

Matsuo however has enough prescence of mind to roll out of the ring, before Zodiac can make the cover. The Junior Tag champion then looked set to go for the no hands somersault plancha, but put the brakes on when he saw Matsuo move out of harms way.

Matsuo gets back in the ring, but get's nailed with a drop-kick from Zodiac- that sends Matsuo reeling into the corner, where Zodiac follows up immediately with a springboard corner back elbow. 'Sexy Zone' then staggered out- where he was then planted with a Falcon Arrow for a two count.

Zodiac, then decided to head up top- but 'Innovations God' did not calculate on Matsuo getting a burst of fighting spirit and 'Sexy Zone' stunned Zodiac with a leaping enziguri. Matsuo then brought Zodiac crashing back into the ring with a hurracanrana. Matsuo then rocked Zodiac with a Tornado Kick, before planting the Junior Tag champion with a Northern Lights Suplex.

That brought a two count, before Matsuo looked to set up for the J-Pop Powerplex (Twisting Falcon Arrow).....Zodiac however had that well scouted and was able to block the attempt and counter into a Beetle Suplex (Tiger Suplex).....

Matsuo once again showed his fighting spirit though by kicking out a two, and then firing back with a flurry of kicks. Zodiac shakes that off however, and delivers a boot into the mid-section and plants Matsuo with the Zodiac Sniper (Sunset Flip Powerbomb).....

'Sexy Zone' stays alive again and goes for a Tornado Kick, but Zodiac is able to duck and 'Innovation's God' catches Matsuo with the Escaflowne (Tilt-A-Whirl Crucifix Bomb Pin).....

One.....

Two.....

Thr.....

Matsuo manages to kick out again, and this time is able to rock Zodiac with a Tornado Kick- the momentum actually sends Zodiac out of the ring and Matsuo follows up immediately with a Corkscrew Plancha. 'Sexy Zone' pitches a shell-shocked Zodiac back into the ring, and whips the Junior Tag champion into the corner, before climbing the turnbuckle in the opposite corner.

Matsuo then nailed Zodiac with a spectacular corner to corner missile drop-kick!

'Sexy Zone' then placed Zodiac into position before heading up top- to then come crashing down upon Zodiac with the Heavy Rotation (450 Senton)....

But Zodiac has enough presence of mind to get the knees up....

Both still reeling, stagger up to their feet- Zodiac gets a boot into the mid-section and tries up for the Zodiac Sniper once again- but Matsuo has it scouted and counters with a back-body drop. Zodiac however quickly takes control again, connecting with a Rolling Wheel Kick before setting up a Fisherman Buster but Matsuo manages to block the attempt and counters into a Falcon Arrow....

One.....

Two.....

Zodiac manages to kick out , so Matsuo tries to set up for Beetle Suplex....but 'Innovations God' manages to force a standing switch....Matsuo manages to fight out with back elbows- but then gets ensnared with a the Flame Haze (Tilt-A-Whirl Crucifix Arm Bar)......

Matsuo tried to prevent Zodiac from fully locking in the arm bar, but Zodiac's determination to get it fully locked in was too much for 'Sexy Zone' to overcome and once locked in- Matsuo had no choice but to tap out.

Result: Zodiac [w] bt Junichi Matsuo [L] in 11:08 via submission (Flame Haze)

Rating: 80

Mio Mio's Mochi: Me and my Nori-chan, could do a much hotter dance routine than that!

Takayuki Balls: I don't know if these two were even trying to steal the show, but the fans lapped up this contest with a huge amount of enthusiasm- at the end of the day this is the sort of fast paced Junior Division action we pride the company on providing on a more regular basis than UPJ. Another point to make is that even though the outcome of Zodiac winning was to be expected- they did a good job of making everyone believe for a few brief moments that Matsuo would have a chance of causing the upset.

Post Match Comments:

Junichi Matsuo: I'm proud of my effort in there tonight, Zodiac is one of the very best here in DIASPORA, but that does not mean I am not disappointed with the result......I made mistakes in there, and I know in my heart I could had Zodiac-san beaten. I think he knows that too, and I hope that he accepts my challenge for a rematch.

Match #5: Oda Yamawaki, Shintaro Hideki & Kotei Yamato vs

Blood Spider Jr, Chojiro Ono & Dark Wolf II

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

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

The Kuro-Nadeshiko trio try to get in some cheap shots in on the S.H.I.P team before the bell has even rung, but their opponents are ready for such tactics and it's Yamawaki and New Solution that gain the early advantage.

New Solution take down Ono with a spinning legsweep/roundhouse combo and then the S.H.I.P trio lock on a trio of submissions on their Kuro counterparts. Yamato with the Knightmare Frame (Bridging Cobra Clutch) on Ono, Hideki with a Cross Arm Baron Spider and Yamawaki with a single leg Boston Crab on Dark Wolf II.

Referee Sugimura does not know who the hell the legal man is though and orders S.H.I.P to release all the submission holds. The S.H.I.P trio think that is absolutely ridiculous and argue with Sugimura, but all that does is enable the Kuro trio to recover and cheap shot them from behind.

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

You just knew he had to stick his Black Box In

Blood Spider Jr then blew Poison Mist in the face of Yamawaki before Soh Terajima sneaked into the ring and nailed 'Fearless' with a Black Box Shot, as Dark Wolf II kept Sugimura conveniently distracted whilst Ono, whipped Yamato and Hideki into the corner before charging in with a Corner Splash- before tossing Hideki over the top-rope with a Press Slam.

Yamato got back to his feet, and tried to fire back against Ono but got levelled with a clothesline- but 'Pin Point' was still able to show enough fighting spirit to kick out of the subsequent pin attempt. However with Yamawaki still trying to shake the mist from his eyes and Hideki sent hard to the floor things were looking grim for Yamato.

'Pin Point' showed great resilience though- kicking out of an Implant DDT from Blood Spider, and a Running Powerbomb from Dark Wolf II. Ono then went to finish things off with the Tsunami (Big Splash) but Yamato was able to move out of the way. However Blood Spider and Dark Wolf II charged out of the corner to knock Yamawaki and Hideki off the apron to prevent Yamato from successfully making the tag.

An incensed Hideki and Yamawaki then foolishly protested to referee Sugimura- which enabled Soh Terajima to once again sneak into the ring. Dark Wolf II then held Yamato in place as Terajima lined up a Black Box Shot- however 'Pin Point' broke free at the last split second and Terajima ended up accidentally nailing Wolf. Yamato then drop-kicked Terajima out of the ring, only to be levelled with a clothesline from behind by Ono- but Yamato managed to fight his way out of a powerbomb attempt and then rock 'Epic Tsunami' with an Enziguri.

Yamato then got the tag to Hideki- but referee Sugimura missed the tag! Yamawaki though ignored that fact- climbing up to the top turbuckle- to then rock Ono with the flying clothesline he calls Fearless. Sugimura immediately ordered Yamawaki back to his corner though- which allowed for Blood Spider Jr to blow Poison Mist at Yamato- at least that was his attention....

Because once again 'Pin Point' must have read 'Way's to cheat 101' and was able to side-step out of the way as Ono ended up being blinded by the mist instead- who then proceeded to accidentally level referee Sugimura with a clothesline.

The S.H.I.P trio then gave Kuro some of their own medicine by taking advantage of the referee being in no fit to keep control of the match- not that the decision's Sugimura were taking felt at all fair and balanced to them. Yamato the proceeded to take care of Blood Spider Jr with a Gurren Driver MK II (Scoop Slam Piledriver), Ono ate a Superkick from Hideki and Dark Wolf II was dispatched with a Tokyo Tower (Vertical Suplex Sideslam) from Yamawaki.

Ono began to rise but got nailed with a double superkick from New Solution- before Yamawaki joined Yamato to lift 'Epic Tsunami' back to his feet- Hideki was the positioned to deliver another superkick- as the S.H.I.P trio combined on a modified Keiyakusha (Superkick assisted suplex).

Referee Sugimura was still down, but then Ochida came rushing down to the ring, as Yamato made the cover.....

One....

Two......

Terajima entered the ring wielding his Black Box, only to fall foul (like so many times before) to having the Box kicked into his face by Hideki- whilst Yamawaki stood guard against Wolf and Spider.

Three!

It looked as though S.H.I.P were going to be screwed out of the win here by the Kuro trio's blatant cheating (including inteference from Terajima) and Sugimura's suspect refereering but things ended up backfiring for Kuro and Yamawaki and New Solution were able to use their superior team work to overcome the odds stacked against them.

Result: Oda Yamawaki, Shintaro Hideki & Kotei Yamato [w] vs Blood Spider Jr, Chojiro Ono [L] & Dark Wolf II in 12:18 via pinfall (Modified Keiyakusha)

Rating: 67

Mio Mio's Mochi: If someone was to look up the word incompetent in a dictionary it would have a picture of this referee- that's if you could barely call him one, that is.

Takayuki Balls: Matches involving Kuro-Nadeshiko's B-squad are never going to be one for the purists- due to the fact that you're pretty much a guaranteed some form of desperate cheating- but the match could at least not be accused of being dull.

Post Match Comments:

Shintaro Hideki: You can bring all the dirty tricks you like Kuro, dodgy ref and all....but fact is try all you like our spirit, our togetherness, our belief in winning the right way is stronger than what you believe in.

Kotei Yamato: Strength- Honor- Integrity- Performance...we believe in what we are about, do you really believe that by cheating in every match you will prosper?

Meanwhile in the Kuro locker room- Dark Wolf II and Soh Terajima have got into a shoving match with one another, following Terajima's miscue with the Black Box- Ono manages to get between them and stop it form escalating any further but it's clear that Wolf isn't happy with Terajima's hapless intervention.

Match #6: Warriors of Tradition (Hyotaru Ichigawa & Taheji Ebisawa)

vs Team Ganbatte! (Koto Arato & Go Takashi)

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

vs

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

The two teams show respect to one another before the match, with a pre match handshake- though the announce team notice that Arato is a bit reluctant to shake the hand of Ichigawa- noting that he still may be smarting from the fact that Ichigawa was the one who dethroned him as Heavyweight champion and the fact that he failed to win that title back in a series of rematches.

The opening exchanges are low key until both Ichigawa and Arato are tagged in to face each other. A fired up Arato dominates the brawl that transpires and levels Ichigawa with an Arato-Lariat- but 'White Light' is able to scramble back to his corner and get the tag to Ebisawa.

Ebisawa manages to hold his own against Arato- as they trade fore-arms but finds his own Uranage attempt, countered into one by Arato. 'Forceful Dagger' pops right back up though and fire's back with a lariat- Arato shakes that off- comes back with one of his own but Ebisawa ducks and the gets a waist lock to dump Arato with a German Suplex.

Takashi comes in to break up the pin but gets sent out to the floor by Ichigawa. Back in the ring Ebisawa tries to apply the Okinawan Crab (Reverse Boston Crab) to Arato but 'Strong Dreamer' manages to block the attempt. Arato manages to get back to his feet but still looks to be a bit hobbled and Ebisawa lines up for the Dozer (Spear) but Arato manages to move out of the way and Ebisawa ends up getting caught in the ropes. Mio Mio makes note that Takashi who was on the outside could have got in a cheap shot but Kogara says that's not the S.H.I.P way of doing things.

Arato however- does take advantage by dumping Ebisawa with a Release German suplex- before tagging Takashi back into the match. Ebisawa gets back to his feet but gets nailed with a front drop-kick from Takashi before 'Nippon Hart' takes Ebisawa over with a vertical suplex for a two count. Takashi then manages to turn Ebisawa over for the Dollars (Inverted Cloverleaf) submission.

'Forceful Dagger' looked to be on the verge of tapping out, but Ichigawa had the prescence of mind to make the last ditch save. However Arato sent Ichigawa to the floor- and then proceeded to brawl with 'White Light' out on the floor.

Back in the ring Takashi tried to lift Ebisawa upon his shoulders (possibly to set up for the DRRR!!!) but Ebisawa managed to block the attempt before countering with the Ebisawa Complex (Swinging Side Slam Backbreaker)- but 'Forceful Dagger' was too worn down to follow up with a cover- and it became a race to see who could tag out first- only that neither Ichigawa or Arato was there to make the tag- as they were still brawling out on the floor.

Ebisawa and Takashi then wearily got back to their feet- Takashi then managed to duck a lariat from Ebisawa and then caught 'Forceful Dagger' with the Headless Ride (Running Neckbreaker) and then once again looked to make the tag- accept that unfortunately for 'Nippon Hart' Arato was not there to make the tag.

Ichigawa though had managed to make it back to his corner- because moments earlier Arato was nailed with a Decapitator (Running Bicycle Kick) and then drilled with a Snap DDT out on the floor.

Back in the ring- Takashi turned his attention back to Ebisawa but ended up being flung across the ring with the Belly2Helly (Release Belly to Belly Suplex)- that enabled Ebisawa to get the tag into Ichigawa....

Takakshi staggered up to his feet and then got nailed with a discus elbow before planted with the Dragon Suplex.

One.....

Two....

Thr.....

'Nippon Hart' showed that he still had some fighting spirit by kicking out- but he was unable to prevent being placed in the Crucifix Arm Bar.......

And by the time Arato had managed to re-enter the ring to try and make the save, it was too late and Takashi was furiously tapping out.

Result: Hyotaru Ichigawa [w] & Taheji Ebisawa bt Koto Arato & Go Takashi [L] in 12:18 via submission (Crucifix Arm Bar)

Rating: 65

Mio Mio's Mochi: I don't know why, but I suddenly have a craving for some Pork Ramen whilst watching this match.

Takayuki Balls: Solid match and they told a fairly compelling story for a match that saw neither side really take the role of being the de-facto heel. But it did kind of feel like a tag match featuring two guys thrown together on each side- rather than a tag match featuring two well oiled units. Of course Warriors of Tradition are at that stage, but Team Ganbatte! have begun to improve their team-work- though they didn't really to get to show it off here, with the way the match unfolded.

About to signal their intentions

Hyotaru Ichigawa grabs a microphone post match...

'Minamoto-san continues to duck me- but I'm willing to bide my time- he'll have to face me eventually. In the meantime I feel I can help this man beside me (points to Ebisawa-san) towards winning his first piece of gold here in DIASPORA.... Udon Noodle Killers, we are officially making it known that we want those All Asia Tag Titles you hold. We may not be able to do anything about one jerk holding DIASPORA gold, but we can do something about two of them.'

Rating: 62

Takayuki Balls: Ichigawa's not the most naturally charismatic guy on the roster- but he's well respected by the fans and this was a solid promo- that should set up for a Tag title match against the Udon Noodle Killers.

Post Match Comments:

Go Takashi: Sorry Arato-san, I let us down again tonight.....

Koto Arato: A true warrior does not hold his head down in shame and wallows in self pity- he picks himself up for the next battle.

Go Takashi: But right now I don't feel as though I'm good enough- Minamoto-san is absolutely right when he says I have no chance of beating him.

Koto Arato: Pull yourself together Takashi-san, I did not choose you do be my partner, if you do not show the belief to win.

Go Takashi: But there's belief and there's belief in the impossible.

Koto Arato: Believing in the impossible- is what seperates the winners from the losers.....

Go Takashi: Right now I don't know what to believe.....

Koto Arato: If you continue with this mind-set, you will not do your best....this I cannot have.....

Arato then proceeds to start chopping Takashi's chest, whilst shouting at him....

Koto Arato: BELIEVE YOU ARE STRONG, BELIEVE YOU ARE A WINNER, BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.....BELIEVE IN ME, BELIEVE IN THE ME THAT BELIEVES IN YOU!!

Somehow the manly chest beating and shouting, seems to snap Takashi out of his post match depression/anxiety and he starts shouting back

Go Takashi: I AM STRONG, I AM A WINNER, TEAM GANBATTE!! ARE WINNERS, I BELIEVE IN MYSELF, I BELIEVE IN THE YOU THAT BELIEVES IN ME!!

Match #7: Incognito & RIKU vs

Hiroto Nori & Hiro Date

vs

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

Nori and Incognito start things off- the S.H.I.P leader gets the better of the exchange, but Incognito manages to scramble back to his corner before Nori can really connect with anything too damaging and tag out to RIKU....Nori then decided to do the same for Date.

Date and RIKU exchange stiff fore-arms, RIKU connects with a knee lift and then goes for Yakuza Kick, but Date ducks and then tries for a spear, but gets tripped up by Incognito. RIKU then conneced with a Jumping Knee Strike and then a Pumphandle Slam for a two count.

Incognito gets tagged back in 'El Pesadilla Hermosa' trolls the audience by teasing a slingshot senton splash, but he just hops into the ring and then simply stomps away on Date, before rather arrogantly going for the cover....

Date kicks out at one, but any rally is cut off with a basement drop-kick from Incognito. The Kuro luchador then teases a standing moonsault but again just resorts to delivering a few stomps to Date, before turning it back over to RIKU. 'The Virus' flings Date overhead with a Fallaway Slam and the goes for the Witchblade (Jumping Spinning Heel Kick) but Date manages to duck the attempt and the takes RIKU by surprise with an Exploder Suplex.

Date then looked to get the tag to Nori, but Incognito had managed to rush out of the corner and kick the S.H.I.P leader off the apron. RIKU had then recovered enough to take Date by surprise with a Legdrop Bulldog.

Thay may have only brought a two count, but it put the Kuro duo in control of the match once again. Incognito then tagged in again and proceeded to apply a sleeper hold to Date....

'But the Stampeding Bull' managed to power his way out- Incognito the desperately tried for the Incognito Driver (Snapmare Driver), but instead Date who found a second wind flung 'El Pesadilla Hermosa' overhead with a Release Belly to Belly Suplex.

Incognito then bailed to the floor, but then found himself taken out by Nori who hit a tope off the ring apron. Back in the ring however, RIKU nailed Date with a Yakuza Kick and then planted the 'Stampeding Bull' with a chokeslam- before deciding to head up top....

RIKU then decided to go for a moonsault, but he crashed and burned as Date moved out of the way- before 'Stampeding Bull' connected with a spear. That gave Date the breathing room to get the tag to a fresh and fired up Hiroto Nori.

'Battle' nailed RIKU with a springboard missile drop-kick and then peppered 'the Virus' with the Endless Nori kick flurry. Nori then decided to head up top, but was cut off by Incognito who brought the S.H.I.P leader crashing back into the ring with a hurracanrana. RIKU then nailed Nori with a Yakuza Kick, sending 'Battle' into a Tilt-A-Whirl Russian legsweep from Incognito.

RIKU then officially turned things back over to Incognito, who then proceeded to drill Nori with a Tombstone Piledriver....

That could only bring a two count for 'El Pesadilla Hermosa' who then proceeded to jaw at the fans in spanish- before turning it back over to RIKU. 'The Virus' then lifted the dazed Nori up for the Crusnik Bomb (Inverted Crucifix Powerbomb) only for Date to see just how desperate the situation was and intervene with a spear- that ending up turning RIKU inside out- and ended up with Nori crashing down upon RIKU with a senton.

Incognito then re-entered the action, breaking up the sudden pin attempt from Nori with a springboard corkscrew senton- before taking out Date with a poison rana (reverse hurracanrana)....

RIKU had managed to bail to the floor, and it was now Incognito and Nori in the ring. 'El Pesadilla Herrmosa' connected with a spinning heel kick and then headed up top- the Kuro luchador arrogantly posed upon the turbuckle, before crashing down upon Nori with the Susurro De La Muerte (630 Senton)- but his posteuring allowed for Nori to move out of the way...

'Battle' then stunned Incognito with the Nigiri Serving (Leaping Reverse STO).....

And that proved to be enough to secure victory- as Date managed to keep RIKU at bay from making the save.

Result: Hiroto Nori [w] & Hiro Date bt Incognito [L] & RIKU in 14:47 via pinfall (Nigiri Serving)

Rating: 68

Mio Mio's Mochi: I always knew my Nori-Chan would win, I was never worried that he would let me or himself down!

Takayuki Balls: Another in a string of solid but not great matches following on from the Zodiac-Matsuo sleeper hit of a contest....it may also be that the crowd are saving their energy for the main event.

Sairento & GUSHIKEN

before merging into the Kuro-Nadeshiko stable theme

As the Kuro pair make their way to the ring.

The Guardians appear to be coming out to Super Driver but that gets cut off by

Minamoto highjacking the 'stable' music with his own does not go down well with Prime Dragon and the pair are arguing with each other up the ramp- which leads to them being ambushed by their opponents. However that move by the Kuro pair backfires on them, as it galvanizes both Dragon and Minamoto to unite in fighting back.

The first few minutes are simply a chaotic brawl- that eventually makes it way to the ring and leads to referee Ochida calling for the bell to get the match officially under way. The Kuro duo take control of the match, when Sairento send Minamoto tumbling over the guard-rail and into the crowd with a Yakuza kick, whilst GUSHIKEN Uranage's Prime Dragon against the ring apron.

GUSHIKEN pitched Dragon into the ring, and delivered a scoop powerslam for a two count before tagging in Sairento. The Super Junior champion subjected Dragon to a Kuro-Stomp (Surfboard curbstomp) before whipping 'The Grand Pillar' into the corner. Sairento then made Dragon suffer a facewash, but when he went to the well for a second time, Dragon mustered up the energy to rise to his feet and stun Sairento with a Rolling Wheel-Kick.

Dragon then tried to set up for a Prime Driver (Over the Shoulder Belly to Back Piledriver), but Sairento managed to slip out and then knee Dragon in the groin, before drilling Dragon with a Brainbuster. Sairento then whips Dragon into the corner, and tags in GUSHIKEN- leading to the Kuro pair methodically working over the Guardians leader in the corner- Sairento at one point even uses the tag rope to choke Dragon.

Eikichi Minamoto who has now made it back to the Guardians corner, gets into the ring to protest about the Kuro pairs illegal tactics, but that only serves to distract referee Ochida from the cheap shots. Minamoto continues to protest, which continues to tie up Ochida from keeping his eye on what GUSHIKEN and Sairento are doing...

And the Kuro pair take full advantage of Ochida and Minamoto's argument, by bringing a Kendo stick into play- Sairento furiously lashes the Kendo stick over Dragon's back and then quickly gets rid of it when Ochida finally turns his attention back to the match itself.

GUSHIKEN then planted a worn-down Dragon with a scoop powerslam, before Sairento headed up top and double stomped Dragon in the nuts.

One.....

Two.....

Somehow despite all the abuse he had been enduring, Dragon managed to kick out. Sairento then made a throat slash gesture, signalling that he was looking to finish things right there, and scooped the 'Grand Pillar' upon his shoulders, but Dragon fought his way off with side elbows and then stunned the 'Silent Reaper' with a Palm Strike. Dragon then tried to get Sairento up for a Brainbuster, but the Super Junior champion was able to block the attempt, and then applied a double underhook but Dragon dug down deep and found the strength to block the Double Underhook Powerbomb attempt and counter with a backbody drop....

Sairento popped back up and went for a Yakuza Kick but Dragon ducked under and fired back with a Rolling Wheel Kick, before drilling Sairento with a Brainbuster.....

But that was all Dragon had left and he was unable to follow up with a cover- he had to make the tag to Minamoto- but with the way Minamoto had been acting of late- would he take the tag from Dragon and would the 'Grand Pillar' be able to make his way back to his corner, before Sairento could tag GUSHIKEN back into the match.....

The answer to that second question was no- but before GUSHIKEN could drag Prime Dragon back to the Kuro corner- the 'Grand Pillar' had made it to his and reached out his hand for Minamoto to take the tag......

After what felt like the slowest second in history.....

Minamoto took the tag- As much of a self-centred jerk he had been acting of late, it appeared that losing wasn't on his agenda- and being jumped by the Kuro pair as he made his way to the ring and had most likely given him and added determination to win this match.

'Rumble Heart' then nailed GUSHIKEN with a Decapitator (Running Bicylce Kick) but the All Asia Tag champion manages to stay on his feet, however Minamoto followed up with a basement drop-kick, sending 'Great Thunder' crashing to the mat- before proceeding to apply a Figure Four Leglock.....

GUSHIKEN manages to power his way out of the submission hold, but gets taken down with another basement drop-kick from Minamoto. GUSHIKEN rises to his feet again, but then finds himself drilled into the canvas with a float over DDT from the Heavyweight champion.

One.....

Two.....

GUSHIKEN kicks out but remains rooted to the mat. Minamoto assesses the situation and decides to head up the turnbuckles, he poises to deliver a knee drop from the second rope but Sairento bursts across the ring apron to grab hold of Minamoto-

The heavyweight champion manages to shrug off Sairento, but the intervention gave GUSHIKEN enough time to recover....'Great Thunder' then got underneath Minamoto, setting up for the GUSHIKEN Firebomb 02.....

Minamoto tried to fight his way out but GUSHIKEN held firm, and he sent 'Rumble Heart' crashing onto the canvas......

One.....

Two.....

Thr.....

Dragon seeing how desperate the situation was dived in to make the save, but was then quickly sent back to his corner by referee Matsuo, who was keen to keep the match under control.

GUSHIKEN turns things over to Sairento, who stomps away on Minamoto and then applies the Silence (Pentagram Choke)......

Seeing that Minamoto is in danger yet again, Prime Dragon makes another desperation save, but is quickly dispatched to the floor by GUSHIKEN. Sairento then lines up to nail Minamoto with the Absolute Terror (Front Knee Strike to the Face) but Minamoto has just enough wits about him to see it coming and block the attempt. Rumble Heart then manages to trap both of Sairento's arms and drills the 'Silent Reaper' with the Harima DDT (Double Arm DDT)....

But the heavyweight champion is too worn down to follow up with a cover.....

And unfortunately for Minamoto, Sairento was nearer to making the tag......

GUSHIKEN comes back in and delivers a series of clubbing blows to the back of Minamoto, before applying a waistlock and then reeling off the GUSHIKEN Series (Triple Rolling German Suplex)........

One....

Two....

Thr.....

Minamoto barely gets a foot to reach onto the bottom rope- but it's just enough to keep himself and Dragon in the match.

GUSHIKEN dragged the weary Minamoto back to his feet and set up for the GUSHIKEN Driver (Samoan Driver) but Minamoto found the fighting spirit within him to fight his way off and then take GUSHIKEN by surprise with a Hangman's Neckbreaker.

Minamoto then manages to get the tag out to Prime Dragon. 'The Grand Pilllar' lands a Rolling Senton Splash on GUSHIKEN and then immediately follows up with a Dragonsault (Springboard Moonsault).....

One......

Two...

Thr.....

GUSHIKEN kicks out, but then finds himself being placed in the Dragon's Bite (Inverted Facelock Sleeper).....

Sairento comes into the ring and kicks away on Dragon to break the hold..... before being sent back to his corner by referee Ochida. GUSHIKEN tries to get in a cheap shot from behind but Dragon see's it coming and nails' Great Thunder' with a drop-kick, that sends the All Asia Tag champ out to the floor.

Sairento comes back in again and cuts Dragon off from taking a dive to the floor....

He applys a waist lock to Dragon, but the 'Grand Pillar' manages to make a standing switch......

Minamoto then comes back in and he lines up for the Decapitator-

And then proceeds to nail Prime Dragon with it.....

He makes out that it was by accident, but then gets Yakuza Kicked by Sairento.

'The Silent Reaper' turns his attention back to Prime Dragon and drills the 'Grand Pillar' with a Death Note (Spike Brainbuster) .....

One......

Two.....

Three!

Miscommunication between Dragon and Minamoto once again lead to their downfall and Sairento could boast yet another victory over Prime Dragon.

Result: Sairento [w] & GUSHIKEN bt Eikichi Minamoto & Prime Dragon [L] in 22:24 via pinfall (Death Note)

Rating: 82

Mio Mio's Mochi: Is this Minamoto guy stupid, all this arguing with the ref, isn't helping his partner at all!

Takayuki Balls: This contest, didn't have the spectacular levels of 'work-rate' of some DIASPORA main events, but it did have plenty of heat and they told an intriguing story in the ring. In fact what was put together here, was a well crafted standard tour show main event- where they didn't go out all gun's blazing, but still gave the fans enough excitement to feel like the match delivered as a main event.

Post Match Comments:

Prime Dragon gets in Minamoto's face post match in the locker-room

Prime Dragon: I wanted to believe that all the naysayers were wrong, I put my trust in you. I still believed that you still cared about the Guardians.....perhaps...

Eikichi Minamoto (trying to sound sincere): Oh come on Dragon-san, it was an accident!

Prime Dragon: I can't really believe you anymore....not with all the other crap you've been pulling of late...

Eikichi Minamoto (now putting on a grovelly demeanour): I'm sorry Dragon-san, I'll make it up to you, I'll show you- that I still care about the Guardians....

Prime Dragon: Too late Minamoto-san, I have given you a thousand chances......

Eikichi Minamoto: Oh come on one more chance, I will prove myself to you and the rest of the Guardians....

Prime Dragon: I don't want to kick you out, the Guardians have been weakened enough lately...but the blame for that lies with you.

Eikichi Minamoto: Yes I know, and I'm truly sorry for that....Just let me prove myself to you ....Just give me one more chance......Please!

Prime Dragon just walks away.....leaving Minamoto seemingly in a flustered panic, that Dragon may finally have had enough and kicked Minamoto out of the Guardians of DIASPORA.

____________________________________________________________

Overall: 77

Takayuki's Final Verdict: This was a solid tour show, with an intriguing main event, a showstealer of a match between Matsuo and Zodiac and a good dose of angle advancement.

The Chronicles of Takayuki- Too Much Information

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_hirotonorialt1.jpghttp://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_TakayukiKunomasu.jpghttp://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/bth_MioHirasawa-11.jpg

On the train journey back to Tokyo from Nagoya, Hiroto Nori sat down next to me like he was in fear of being watched someone, or more to the point like someone sneaking away in secret and hoping not to get caught.....

‘ Look Kunomasu-san, I’m real grateful and all you’ve given Mio-Chan a job here in DIASPORA’

Actually given the choice I wouldn’t have but circumstances practically forced me into it....

‘......But I can’t get any respite from her, it’s like she NEEDS to be with 24/7- before I could at least have some time on my own, but now it’s like .....’

I wasn’t far off with my assessment of this situation, but I had little sympathy for Nori- he had made his bed with someone as obsessively possessive as Mio Mio and he was going to have to live with it- the lesson here guys is that a cute face and a hot body aren’t everything....

Nori’s respite was short-lived as his beloved Mio-chan came storming over....

‘What did I tell you about wondering off Nori-chan, you know I can’t let you out of my sight’

‘Sorry Mio-chan’

‘Well what if something happened to you, and I wasn’t there to take care of things....I’d be distraught y’know’

‘Sorry to have worried you Mio-Chan’

‘Ok apology accepted’

Nori’s eyes then wondered towards Mio Mio’s ample bosom.

‘But you don’ t get to play with me, until later!’

‘But Mio- I thought you accepted my apology’

‘Well I’ve decided I haven’t forgiven you enough yet!’

Their relationship was more like one of a mistress and a gimp, than that of a normal loving couple- which given Mio Mio’s rather sadomasochistic nature, it’s rather ironic she has an aversion to men in masks.

‘So I hear we’re going to Okinawa next Kunomasu-san’ asked Mio Mio suddenly.....

I confirmed that it was the next stop on the schedule

‘Fantastic, that be a great opportunity for me to catch some rays and top up my tan- we are going to the beach right aren’t we?’

I thought the sole purpose of the visit was to host a wrestling show

‘I KNOW that, but surely we’ll have enough time to head for the beach right- may as well take advantage of the Okinawan sunshine whilst we’re there, y’know!’

It suddenly occurred to me, that it wouldn’t be a terrible sight to see Mio Mio in a swimsuit- she may be a bit wrong in the head, but I will admit that there’s nothing wrong with that body of hers.....

‘But you or any of those other losers in the ‘locker-room’ better keep their eyes off me.....only Nori’s eyes are for me, like my eyes are only for him’

Strong words, but if she parades around in the sort of costume I think she will down at the beach- I don’t think it’ll be particularly hard for any red blooded male to keep their eyes off her.

Nori-san had other ideas about what to do in Okinawa and unsurprisingly it involved his favourite past time.....

‘Oh I know what we must do whilst we’re in Okinawa, we must go and visit Ono-san’s Udon restaurant- I hear it’s really good!’

‘Aaargh- why do you constantly think about food all the time, am I not enough to think about!’ retorted an immediately frustrated Mio Mio.

‘Oh you know I love you Mio-chan, I think about you ALL the time’

He could well be, but is that through love or paranoia?

‘Even whilst you’re stuffing your face, with whatever you can find!’

‘Well it’s like my mind and heart is always in tune with you Mio-chan, but my stomach can’t help thinking about food all the time!’

‘Well you can’t help your stupid stomach, but could you please refrain from eating, whilst we’re having our play time together!’

And that’s when I really started to wish I had a seat in another carriage.....

Matches set for Never Dying Spirit PPV

News coming out from the DIASPORA offices is that the Never Dying Spirit supershow set to take on place at the Nagasaki Sports Park on Saturday 26th May, is beginning to take shape.

Hyotaru Ichigawa and Taheji Ebisawa collectively known as the warrior's of Tradition have had their challenge for the All Asia Tag titles against the Udon Noodle Killers (GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono) officially accepted and will get their shot at Never Dying Spirit.

Dragon Pro Wrestling's Akito Nakada and Haruko Yamada will be invading DIASPORA at Never Dying Spirit, and have made a challenge for the Junior Tag Team titles, currently held by Whispered (Zodiac & Talisman).

Sairento will face a testing time to keep hold of the Super Junior Championship both at and leading up to Never Dying Spirit. First off he will defend the title against both halves of the New Solution tag team at a double header in the Kansai region, facing Kotei Yamato first at the Hyogo Prefectural Gym in Kobe on Tuesday 22nd May and then Shintaro Hideki at the Kyoto Concert Hall on Thursday 24th May.

Provided Sairento can make it past New Solution, he will then face off against his own stable member Tian Long at Never Dying Spirit. DIASPORA officials are hoping that Long (who may not get many more opportunities to add the DIASPORA Super Junior title to his accomplishments) will be motivated to do his best and not just 'lie down' for the Kuro-Nadeshiko leader.

Infernalmiko · March 31, 2013

Result: Kohei Hidaka [w] bt Aki Shimizudani in 6:20 via pinfall (Bite and Bark)

Yawn. It's always tempting to skip these matches but they are needed for the show to build up. The preshow is a low point so it's easy to build up from here.

The heavyweight champion can now add verbally abusing a child, to his tick list of generating heat.

But honestly, who doesn't want to smack Shinji ? That voice! Ech. This is about as cheap a heat as it gets but it fits Minamoto. Go Takeshi as the next challenger is intentionally weak. Minamoto is picking people that have no chance as a way to build up heat and then the loser does a little better than expected. But there's no real doubt of who'll win and it lowers the value of the belt for me. But I'm not a big SE person.

Result: Tian Long [w] bt Hideaki Kasuse [L] + Talisman + Xtinction

Ah, I forgot Tian Long was Mr. Protected. Short, straightforward match that keeps Tian in line for his title shot.

Result: Soh Terajima [w] bt Fuku Machine [L] in 6:11 via pinfall (Low Blow Victory Roll)

Meh, the quality was impressively low for this match. Barely above Hidaka/Shimi standards. I am curious if Fuku is getting close to the point where he can win over someone. Terajima has value as the midcard cheating b█████d. Someday Fuku might have more value.

Result: Meido Machine, HUSTLE Umiro [w] & Nyan Nyan Neko Man bt Ebi Kavidar, Paul Crowley [L] & Horiuchi Inokuma in 11:46 via pinfall (Hare Hare Setsunai)

I was one of the people expecting KaviCrow to win this. This does answer ther question of where they are in the pecking order of DIASPORA. They are below the comedy midcard faction. But presumably they'll rise over time. And HUSTLE may breakout of the comedy midcard if he keeps winning.

Ebi Kavidar: I have bought shame upon my Emirate, with these losses- I wan't you to feel the shame that I am suffering- we shall humiliate you, like you humiliate us!

Next time, I shall bring my delicious Turkish Delight!

Result: Zodiac [w] bt Junichi Matsuo [L] in 11:08 via submission (Flame Haze)

Wow! Zodiac only managed a 64 with Inokuma. There's some chemistry at work here or Matsuo has some real skills and just needs more pop. He was competitive in this match and it definitely raised my opinion of him. I know he's in the comedy faction but I still have distant hopes he'll be the sex symbol DIASPORA so desperately needs. Ok, maybe not desperately.

Result: Oda Yamawaki, Shintaro Hideki & Kotei Yamato [w] vs Blood Spider Jr, Chojiro Ono [L] & Dark Wolf II in 12:18 via pinfall (Modified Keiyakusha)

Not much to add to what Takayuki said. Kuro B-Team. $ugimura. Cheating. Hideki once again kicking the box into Terajima's face. It's just not a B-team match without that.

but it's clear that Wolf isn't happy with Terajima's hapless intervention.

But most of Terajima's intervention is hapless!

Result: Hyotaru Ichigawa [w] & Taheji Ebisawa bt Koto Arato & Go Takashi [L] in 12:18 via submission (Crucifix Arm Bar)

I liked the lingering animosity between Ichigawa and Arato. They remain rivals and I'm sure Arato wants a title match just as much as Ichigawa. But somehow, their young proteges are the one's always fighting Minamoto now. Ebisawa looked good here as well while Go loses again before his title match. Not that anyone thinks he has a chance in that. More matches of this type! A little history, a little look at the future and a good rivalry.

Arato then proceeds to start chopping Takashi's chest, whilst shouting at him....

And suddenly Antonio Inoki runs in and slaps Go! Ganbatte!

Result: Hiroto Nori [w] & Hiro Date bt Incognito [L] & RIKU in 14:47 via pinfall (Nigiri Serving)

Not as good as I would have expected. I wonder if the crowd got burned out or if RIKU is just really not very good. With that hair I'd expect him to be awesome!

Result: Sairento [w] & GUSHIKEN bt Eikichi Minamoto & Prime Dragon [L] in 22:24 via pinfall (Death Note)

The bulk of the match write ups and the bulk of the drama. This was a big match to me because I wanted to see how much Guardians and PD meant to Minamoto. The answer is not as much as he claims. Even working with just PD he could not control his ego and was unreliable as a partner. At this point he seems on his way out unless something dramatic happens to change that.

Not that anyone thinks he has a chance in that. More matches of this type! A little history, a little look at the future and a good rivalry.

I'm really pleased you liked this match- as I really wanted to get across that though Ichigawa and Arato's rivalry may not be as intense as it was when they were competing over the title, the animosity between them is still there. Personally I'm a fan of long lasting rivalries, that last even if both guys at the time are heel or face.
