DIASPORA- Takayuki of the Revolution-13 (Thunderverse)

Zergon · June 15, 2013

Eikichi Minamoto & Talisman vs Prime Dragon & Hyotaru Ichigawa

Interesting match here and it´s espesially interesting to see how well Dragon and Ichigawa can co-exist considerinf that Ichigawa was kicked out from Guardians little while back.

All Asia Tag Championship: Udon Noodle Killers (GUSHIKEN & Ono) vs Tokyo Wrecking Crew (Yamawaki & Date)

This is a tough one for me. If you want better ratings then change here is likely but I figure that Noodle Killers will hold the titles this time as they haven´t yet have that many successful title defenses.

Dark Wolf II & Tian Long vs Sairento & Incognito

The truth is that I see Sairento as the top guy here while Incognito would be my second pick so they are teh safe pick for me. Still, I have to wonder how Incognito would react with Wolf and Long being kicked out from Kuro because they challenged Sairento as I just don´t see Incognito wanting to play second fiddle to anyone and if he wants to get the Junior title he has to betray Sairento and that´s why I think this might be closer than what it looks at first sight. Still I play safe and go with Sairento and Incognito anyway.

Hiroto Nori vs Taheji Ebisawa

Nori rebuilds some lost momentum after being the last man eliminated in that ten man match last month.

Meido, HUSTLE & Matsuo vs Kavidar, Crowley & Wolfe

Wolfe is the weak link here and I´m not yet sure how well he will play with Kavidar and Crowley as somehow I doubt he wants to be a butler anymore than a schoolgirl.

Zodiac vs Blood Spider Jr

Easy win for Zodiac. The only thing I´m waiting for this match is Zodiac´s post show comments as that might give some idea how he reacted to Dragon being kicked out from Guardians.

Arato, Hideki & Yamato vs Kasuse, Hidaka & Kotara

Bigger names.

Go Takashi vs Horiuchi Inokuma vs Neko Man vs RIKU

This is a coin flip for me between RIKU and Takashi and I go with RIKU simply because he´s more likely to cheat and have outside help. Though considering that the outside help is likely Terajima with his Black box, one could argue that it would hinder RIKU much more likely than help him.

Kan Mitsubishi vs Xtinction

Never thought that I would pick Mitsubishi to win a match now that he isn´t even a Guardian anymore but surely he´s favorite against Xtinction?

Infernalmiko · June 16, 2013

Eikichi Minamoto & Talisman vs Prime Dragon & Hyotaru Ichigawa

A supernova of a match. But is Talisman really on the same page as Minamoto or is the the supreme ego just assuming Talisman is? We also need some answers from Whispered as far as if they are still in Guardians or not. And does Guardians even still exist under that name? This should answer alot of questions.

All Asia Tag Championship: Udon Noodle Killers (GUSHIKEN & Ono) vs Tokyo Wrecking Crew (Yamawaki & Date)

Doesn't seem like the right time for a title change.

Dark Wolf II & Tian Long vs Sairento & Incognito

No way Sairneto loses to a couple of disloyal malcontents.

Hiroto Nori vs Taheji Ebisawa

Nori rebounds with a quality win.

Meido, HUSTLE & Matsuo vs Kavidar, Crowley & Wolfe

I agree Wolfe is the weak link and there are already hints he's not going to like his new masters any more than the old ones.

Zodiac vs Blood Spider Jr

Slam dunk.

Arato, Hideki & Yamato vs Kasuse, Hidaka & Kotara

What Zergon said. Bigger names.

Go Takashi vs Horiuchi Inokuma vs Neko Man vs RIKU

I think it's time for Go to get the push. I expect RIKU to attack him after the match to build up some heat with him, though. Go needs a feud with someone roughly his equal.

Kan Mitsubishi vs Xtinction

Everyone needs a win now and then.

Tuesday 5th June 2012, Hiroshima Sports Park, Hiroshima, Chugoku

(2000- Super No Vacancy)

</div>

Match 0: Kan Mitsubishi vs Xtinction

Mitsubishi manages to keep Xtinction grounded for most of the match and gets a two count with a Brainbuster. 'Fist of Granite' then nailed Xtinction with the Power Punch (Right Hook Punch), but the Punch was so powerful it sent Xtinction flying out of the ring.

Mitsubishi thought he was about to gain the count-out victory, but then Xtinction suddenly sneaked in behind Mitsubishi and stunned 'Fist of Granite' with the X.L.E (Tilt A Whirl DDT) to pick up the victory.

Result: Xtinction [w] bt Kan Mitsubishi [L] in 6:06 via pinfall (X.L.E)

Rating: 48

Takayuki Balls: Some people may be surprised by that result, given that Xtinction is perceived to be something of a 'running joke' right now in DIASPORA. But even with his unreliability he still brings something more to DIASPORA as a lower card curiosity than the limited Mitsubishi.

"The Guardians of DIASPORA"

</div>

The main show opens with the Guardians of DIASPORA, Heavyweight Champion Eikichi Minamoto and the Junior Tag Team Champions- Whispered standing in the ring. The crowd jeer Minamoto as he begins to speak......

'I really don't get this, I'm your heavyweight champion, I am the future of this company.....'

Minamoto pauses for a moment, an arrogant smirk across his face, actually seeming to enjoy the jeers from the Hiroshima crowd.

'You know what I'll correct myself, WE are the future of DIASPORA'

Another pause, as he looks over to Talisman

'Well at least me and this guy right here.....'

He then looks over to Zodiac

'Oh I'm not saying that Zodiac here should be put out to pasture, he's still got plenty of mileage left on his clock, unlike those two has-beens Dragon and Ichigawa'

That only serves to make the crowd even more incensed, as they begin to chant for Prime Dragon and Ichigawa....meanwhile Zodiac looks far from happy about the back-handed compliment. Talisman meanwhile is given off the same smug air as Minamoto.

'It's time you stopped holding onto the past, Ichigawa and Dragon have had their day.....and it's time they stepped aside, or at least sat themselves in the office, looking out of a window!'

Minamoto's arrogance has gone into overdrive and the crowd respond accordingly with more jeers and chants for Prime Dragon and Hyotaru Ichigawa.

'You know what always been clear to me, that you close minded fans will never accept me as the leader of the Guardians of DIASPORA......'

Another pause from Minamoto, as he waits for some of the jeers to die down.

'The Guardians are and always were a stupidly out-dated concept .......

I'm not here to do it for the pride of the company, I'm not here to represent you fans.....if I'm going to be a leader of a revolution, I want the revolution to be about something I care about !'

Minamoto then instructs Whispered to bring what looks to be a large Banner into the ring, Zodiac looking far from pleased about having to do this.......

'Guardians of DIASPORA have been consigned to history, just as I have done with those ancient artifcacts Dragon-san and Ichigawa-san.......

The future is here, the future is...........

A slight pause, as Whispered slowly unfurl the Banner

'The Temple of Tskukamoto!!'

<div style="text-align:center;">http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/TempleTsukamoto_zps7fdc2f6e.jpg

Guardians of DIASPORA are dead...Long Live...the Temple of Tskukamoto?!?!

</div>

Just as the crowd are left in a state of utter confusion, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44n_vmLuI98" rel="external nofollow">'</a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjWSELbop2Y" rel="external nofollow">Sorairo Days</a><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44n_vmLuI98" rel="external nofollow">'</a> is heard over the speakers and out comes Hyotaru Ichigawa and then Prime Dragon. Ichigawa is the first to speak

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

The old timers have seen and heard enough

</div>

'You are embarrassing this great wrestling company Minamoto-san'

'And how exactly am I doing that?'

'You destroy the Guardians of DIASPORA from within, for this. I do not understand this, I just do not understand what you are trying to achieve'

'Oh of course, you still think it's the Edo period....unlike you I take pride in 21st century icons!'

Prime Dragon now chimes in, and he seems to be staring dagger towards Talisman

'Let's not worry about this Ichigawa-san, the fact is the Guardians died, when I got screwed out of victory at Never Dying Spirit'

'Oh excuses, excuses, face it OLD man I beat you, and now you're all upset that your beloved Guardians have been put out to pasture and replaced by something far superior!'

A raging Ichigawa throws in his 2 cents again

'The Guardians represented pride, what does this Tsukamoto nonsense represent?'

'Pure Beauty!'

Prime Dragon looks over at Zodiac

'YOU can't be happy about this'

Zodiac looks as though he is about to speak

'Oh come off it Dragon-san, I know what you're trying to do, but he's on a team of champions, so why would he want to leave all that behind..'

Talisman chimes in

'Utterly true, I mean we are all holding gold here, and I don't see any round their waists!'

Prime Dragon then retorted.....

'You may be feeling all pleased with yourselves now, but this Temple of Tsukamoto of yours will crumble!'

Minamoto as always had to get in the final word

'The only thing that will crumble is old men like you'

Rating: 75

Takayuki Balls: And Eikichi Minamoto's School Rumble obsession seems to have no boundaries, Temple of Tsukamoto has now taken the crown for most ridiculous stable name in the history of puroresu. Overall though this was a good opening talking segment, and there is continued intrigue regarding Zodiac's stance within the new Guardians...sorry I mean Temple of Tsukamoto. Minamoto is as ever great on the mic, unfortunately Ichigawa try as he might, has a delivery that is as dull as dishwater.

This opening contest followed your standard 4-way format with a feeling out process, and then it breaking down, after someone breaks up a nearfall. The finishing sequence saw Neko Man have Inokuma in the Ny-Ankle Lock only for it to be broken up by Go Takashi who took down the 'Feline Enigma' with a Headless Ride (Running Neckbreaker)....

Takashi however then got distracted by a Black Box Wielding Soh Terajima who hopped onto the apron, 'Nippon Hart' sent Terajima crashing to the floor with a Front Drop-Kick but then turned around into a Witchblade (Jumping Spinning Heel Kick) from 'the Virus'. Inokuma broke up the pin but was nailed with a Jumping Knee Strike from RIKU.....before Nyan Nyan Neko Man then staggered into another Yakuza Kick from 'the Virus' and then planted with the Crusnik Bomb (Inverted Crucifix Powerbomb).

Result: RIKU [w] bt Go Takashi + Horiuchi Inokuma + Nyan Nyan Neko Man in 10:41 via pinfall (Crusnik Bomb)

Rating: 53

Mio Mio's Mochi: Temple of Tsukamoto?! Can you please tell me what planet this Minamoto guy is on.

(Mio's mind is obviously not on the opening match)

Takayuki Balls: Standard throwaway 4-way but the finish does further establish RIKU as a dominant force in the lower/mid card of DIASPORA.

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

Match 2: Koto Arato, Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki vs

Hideaki Kasuse, Kohei Hidaka & Yachi Kotara

</div>

The Forgotten got in some token offence to prevent this from finishing even quicker than it did, but for the most part this was total domination from the S.H.I.P trio,. the finish saw an Arato-Lariat send Yachi Kotara to the floor, before Hideaki Kasuse was taken out with the Keiyakusha (Superkick assisted/German Suplex)......

Hidaka then found himself put in the Dreamland (Rear Naked Choke) and that left referee Ochida with no other choice but to call for the bell.

Result: Koto Arato [w], Kotei Yamato & Shintaro Hideki bt Hideaki Kasuse, Kohei Hidaka [L} & Yachi Kotara in 5:31 via submission (Dreamland)

Rating: 53

Mio Mio's Mochi: So do you think that Minamoto-san is like totally obsessed with his Tsukamoto (Mio Mio is still blabbering on about Minamoto).

Takayuki Balls: Solid 'squash' match. The Forgotten to their credit know what their role is and (out of character) don't complain about it- making them reliable talent enhancers.

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

Match 3: Blood Spider Jr vs Zodiac

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_BloodSpiderJr.jpg vs http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Zodiac.jpg</div>

Blood Spider Jr is accompanied by his regular tag partner Soh Terajima to the ring, seeing this Zodiac immediately goes to take out Terajima with a No Hands Somersault Plancha but gets cut off by the 'New Nightmare', who then plants Zodiac with a Russian Legsweep.

Blood Spider then controls the match for a bit getting a two count off a Gory Bomb and then placing 'Innvovations God' in the Web of Deception (Spinning Headscissors transitioned into an Octopus Stretch).....Zodiac manages to battle his way to the ropes, but gets his hand kicked away by Terajima just as he is about to touch the top-rope.

Just when it looked like Zodiac was about to tap he managed to find the inner fighting spirit to fight his way out of the hold and then stun the 'New Nightmare' with an Asai DDT. Zodiac then dumped Spider with a Beetle Suplex but was unable to maintain the bridge.

Blood Spider remained down, but Zodiac still feeling that Terajima was being a distraction took out the 'Cloaked Assassin' with the No Hands Somersault plancha he intended to at the start of the match. However Blood Spider then came soaring through the ropes himself with a Tope Con Hilo, to wipe out 'Innovations God'.

'The New Nightmare' then pitched Zodiac into the ring, and after getting a few stomps in on the Junior Tag champion decided to head up top but 'Innovations God' countered the Blood Drop (Senton Bomb) by getting his knees up. Zodiac then trapped Blood Spider in the Twelve Signs (Cross Face Cloverleaf), which proved to be enough to force the tap out from the 'New Nightmare'.

Result: Zodiac [w] bt Blood Spider Jr [L] in 7:34 via submission (Twelve Signs)

Rating: 65

Mio Mio's Mochi: I would kind of admire that Terajima guy constantly taking one for the team, if the team he is part of, isn't headed up by some psycho dick in a mask.

Takayuki Balls: Good little match, but then Zodiac is one of our best performers, and one capable to ringing out good performances from pretty much anyone he works with. Terajima's ringside presence provided enough of a distraction for Blood Spider Jr to remain competitive against a superior opponent but in the end Zodiac's class shone through.

Post Match Comments:

Zodiac: So the Guardians of DIASPORA are no more, and I'm now part of this Temple of Tsukamoto thing. Right now I don't really know what to say. The short of it is all that matters, at this moment in time, is defending the Junior Tag Team champions with Talisman.

Match 4: Chief Butler Wolfe, Ebi Kavidar & Paul Crowley vs

Junichi Matsuo, Meido Machine & HUSTLE Umiro

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/HunterWolfeTK_zps27c27d52.jpg http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_EbiKadivar.jpghttp://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_PaulCrowley.jpg

Chief Butler Wolfe looked somewhat reluctant to be wearing the Butler outfit that his new 'owners' had chosen for him as he made his way down the entrance ramp.

The Tuturu! trio are accompanied by Matsuo's bevy of Bishojo dancers and treat the fans to a dance routine, with Matsuo wooing the female's in the audience with his swivel hips.

Meido and Kavidar started out and engaged in some mat wrestling, that almost saw the 'World's Most Dangerous Otaku' quickly grab victory with the Moe Moe Clutch (Double Leg Nelson Pin) but Kavidar was on hand to make the save.

The match then briefly settled down into a back and forth exchange between both sides, until HUSTLE Umiro was tripped up from the apron by Kavidar, when lining up for a lariat to Crowley. HUSTLE then got worked over in the Ambassadors Club corner with Crowley/Kavidar combining on the Camel Clutch/Basement drop-kick combo and then Butler Wolfe subjecting HUSTLE to Fireman's Carry Backbreaker and then a Death Valley Driver for a close two count.

Ebi Kavidar then went for the Sheik From Above (Double Jump Moonsault) but HUSTLE managed to move out of the way- but the 'Ducker Diver' was cut off from being able to tag out by Wolfe, who then planted HUSTLE with a Running Powerslam

Paul Crowley then connected with a Diving Knee Drop for a two count, before slapping on a Crossface Chickenwing....

HUSTLE however began to power his way up to his feet, and the source of his power as always was a freshly prepared chocolate parfait from his tag partner Meido Machine. Crowley tried to transition into a Majestic Suplex (Cross Face Chickenwing Suplex), but the 'Ducker Diver' managed to fight out of it and counter with a German Suplex.

HUSTLE then got the tag to Junichi Matsuo, who proceeded to drill Crowley with a springboard Tornado DDT- but the 'New Prince of Old School' was able to bail from the ring before 'Sexy Zone' could follow up ....Matsuo then looked set to soar to the floor with a corkscrew plancha, only to find himself nailed with a Hunting Strike (Discus Elbow Strike) from Butler Wolfe.

Referee Ochida rightly recognised that Wolfe was not the legal man, and waived off 'Servitude Thunder's' pin attempt. Kavidar then took the tag from Crowley, and put the boots to Matsuo, before pulling out a Standing Corkscrew Moonsault.....

But Matsuo got the knees up, and then nailed 'the High Sheik' with a Tornado Kick. Kavidar managed to stagger back to his corner before 'Sexy Zone' could follow up and gor the tag to Wolfe, who knocked down Matsuo with a flying shoulder tackle and then followed in with a corner clothesline.

Wolfe then delivered the REDEMPTION BOMB (Sitout Powerbomb)

One.....

Two......

But then Meido Machine threw up the heart symbol....

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

Moe Time!

</div>

Meido then sneaked into the ring, and managed to reverse the pin attempt so that Matsuo was pinning Wolfe instead.....

Thr......

Kavidar manages to dive in at the last split second to make the save.....

That triggers a melee in the ring....Matsuo sends Wolfe to the floor with a Tornado Kick and then takes 'Servitude Thunder' out with a Corkscrew Plancha. Meanwhile back in the ring MOE! MONEY! get the better of the Ambassdors Club, and deliver their trademark stereo snap suplexes.....

<div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSfJuHCMjCS9832Ol-7NeppkV2XHOMKjub6Pfg2c0LPri9cFJkO" data-src="https://encrypted-tbn3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSfJuHCMjCS9832Ol-7NeppkV2XHOMKjub6Pfg2c0LPri9cFJkO" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

MONEY!

</div>

MOE! MONEY! then combined on an STO/Senton Bomb combo on Crowley, before turning their attention back to Kavidar...

Kavidar gets wiped out with the HARE HARE SETSUNAI (Lariat/Reverse STO).....

One....

Two.....

Thr.....

Wolfe break back into the ring to make the save..... It turns out that Wolfe got the better of Matsuo out on the floor, nailing 'Sexy Zone' with a clothesline from behind.

Wolfe levels MOE! MONEY! with a double clothesline and then takes them both out with a series of X-PLODER Suplexes.....

Junichi Matsuo climbs back onto the apron however, and then stuns Wolfe with a springboard cutter. Sexy Zone then decided to climb up top, but gets cut off by Kavidar, and then brings 'Sexy Zone' crashing to the ring with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb......

Meido Machine makes the save but gets nailed with a European Uppercut from Crowley, and then planted with a Northern Lights Suplex from the 'New Prince of Old School'.....

One.....

Two.....

Meido manages to kick out, but then gets turned over into the Prince's Lock (Arm Trap Crossface)....

Both HUSTLE and Matsuo try to come to Meido's rescue, but both Wolfe and Kavidar are able to cut them off, and in the end Meido is left with no other choice but to tap out- as the newly expanded Ambassadors Club- show themselves to be an effective unit.

Result: Ebi Kavidar, Paul Crowley [w] & Chief Butler Wolfe bt Meido Machine [L], HUSTLE Umiro & Junichi Matsuo in 11:35 via submission (Prince's Lock)

Rating: 62

Mio Mio's Mochi: The only guy I would want being a Butler for me is my Nori-Chan.

Takayuki Balls: Plenty of mileage in this lower card feud yet, and the two sides have been producing decent matches against one another. A slight surprise in the result, as I think many were thinking it would be more of the same for the hapless Wolfe, but perhaps this result will show that he is now on an upswing with the Ambassadors Club.

Post Match Comments:

Ebi Kavidar: When somebody serves the Ambassadors Club, they become part of a winning establishment, they take pride in themselves and they contribute to a cause of higher superiority.

Hunter Wolfe: YEAH!! KICKIN' ASSES IS WHAT I DO!

Paul Crowley: Yes quite, Mr Wolfe but please do replicate your feelings with a little more articulation.

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

Match 5: Hiroto Nori vs Taheji Ebisawa

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_hirotonorialt1.jpg vs http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_TaheijiEbisawa.jpg</div>

Nori initially put Ebisawa on the backfoot with some kick combinations, but 'Forceful Dagger' shook off drop-kick and then took control with a Uranage. Ebisawa then slowed the pace of the match down, as he looked to wear down the S.H.I.P leader, by targetting Nori's back- placing 'Battle' in a Torture Rack and then dropping Nori with a Fireman's Carry Backbreaker for a two count.

Nori then tried to roll out of the ring to regroup, but got pulled back in by Ebisawa and planted with a Gutwrench suplex for another two count. Ebisawa then placed Nori in a Bearhug hold- but just as it looked like Nori would have the life squeezed out of him, some encouraging words from Mio Mio 'Come on Nori-Chan you can't give up- think of how proud I am of you- don't let yourself down!' gave Nori the energy to fight out of the Bearhug.

Nori then planted Ebisawa with a Reverse STO- but was too worn down to immediately follow up with further offence. As the got to their feet it was Ebisawa who was able to regain control once again levelling Nori with a Lariat, and then delivering a Sitout Full Nelson Atomic Drop.

Ebisawa then placed Nori in the Okinawan Crab (Reverse Boston Crab) but once again hysterical words of encouragement 'Nori-Chan, you need to do better, think of the pride I have for you!' from Mio Mio gave her man the inspiration to fight his way to the ropes and force a rope break.

'Forceful Dagger' remained in control and whipped the S.H.I.P leader into the corner, but 'Battle' got his feet up, when Ebisawa came charging in for a corner splash. Nori then nailed Ebisawa with an Enziguri and followed that up with a Springboard missile drop-kick. That sent Ebisawa staggering over to the opposite corner where Nori then followed in with a corner to corner drop-kick, before planting Ebisawa with a Springboard Inverted DDT for a two count.

Nori then snapped off a Tilt-A-Whirl headscissors and looked set to transition into the Yakisoba cross arm breaker, but Ebisawa was able to block the attempt and then shook Nori with the Ebisawa Complex (Swinging Side Slam Backbreaker)......

One....

Two....

Thr.....

Ebisawa came mighty close to pulling off the upset. 'Forceful Dagger' lifted Nori to his feet and then looked set to deliver a Belly 2 Helly (Release Belly to Belly Suplex) but Nori found the inner strength to once again fight his way out of trouble, and shook Ebisawa with an Endless Nori kick flurry.....

Ebisawa managed to stay on his feet after the high kick to the head, but was then rocked with a Rebound Drop-Kick, and then taken off his feet with a Basement drop-kick. Nori then headed up top and came crashing down upon Ebisawa with the Flying Bonito (Sky Twister Press) to secure a hard fought win.

Result: Hiroto Nori [w] bt Taheji Ebisawa [L] in 9:02 via pinfall (Flying Bonito)

Rating: 71

Mio Mio's Mochi: What the hell is going on here.....looks like I need to give my Nori-Chan a pep talk!

Takayuki Balls: Nori did a good job here of helping to put over Ebisawa as a competitive threat- in the end Nori came through with the expected win but he made it look like as though he had to work a little harder for it, than perhaps expected.

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

Match 6: Dark Wolf II & Tian Long vs

Sairento & Incognito

http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Sairento.jpg & http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Incognito.jpg</div>

Before the match even started, this one broke out into a wild brawl with an emotionally charged Wolf and Long taking the fight to their former stable mates. A tope con hilo from Wolf- saw the former Kuro pair keep the pressure up, with Long then getting a close two count on Incognito with a Sleeper Suplex but Sairento was able to break up the pin, and then the Kuro pair, brought out the dirty tricks a low blow from Incognito to Tian Long, whilst Sairento sent Dark Wolf II into the crowd with a Yakuza Kick before raining down a rally of chair shots upon the 'Howling Menace'.

A Tilt-A-Whirl Russian Legsweep from Incognito, on his former tag partner then brought a two count, before the match settled down to the Imperial One being worked over by Sairento and Incognito in the Kuro corner, with 'El Pesadilla Hermosa' taunting Long and the fans several times by setting up for a flashy manouevre , only to then just stomp on Long's groin.

Sairento of course also had to get involved with the methodically sadistic dismantling of their former stable mate, making Long endure a customary Kuro-Stomp and a facewash. Long then had to endure further humilation when Sairento and Incognito, combined on a signature move of IMPERIOUS the Inverted STF/Basement Drop Kick combo. Long had the heart to kick out of that, but then found himself planted with a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker from Sairento, before Incognito then set up for a Standing Moonsault.....

But Long still had something left in the tank, and he took Incognito by surprise with a Dragon Screw Leg-Whip......

Long then tried to scramble across to get the tag to Dark Wolf II, but unfortunately for the 'Imperial One' Incognito was able to get the tag to Sairento first, and the 'Silent Reaper' then prevented Long from making the tag, before sending Wolf crashing off the apron to the floor with a Yakuza Kick.

A Brainbuster from Sairento brought another two count, before Incognito was brought back in...'El Pesadilla Hermosa' taunted Long with some paint brush slaps and said shouted something apparently offensive in Spanish to his former tag partner. That only served to light a fire under Long, but the veterans attempted rally was cut short with a kick to the groin, before Incognito drilled Long with a Tombstone Piledriver.....

One....

Two....

Thr.....

Dark Wolf II managed to break into the ring to make the save, but was nailed with a spinning heel kick from Incognito and sent back to the floor. 'El Pesadilla Hermosa' then decided to head up top, only for Long to suddenly find another burst of fighting spirit to his rise to his feet and send Incognito crashing back into the ring with a hurracanrana.

Incognito managed to roll through the pinning predicament, but then Long managed to get a waistlock and then dump 'El Pesadilla Hermosa' with a Dragon Suplex....

One....

Two....

Thr........

Sairento stomped away on Long to make the suddenly desperate save. Sairento then tried to nail Long with an Absolute Terror (Front Knee Strike) but the savvy veteran had the move well scouted and countered with a Dragon Screw Leg-Whip.

Long then finally managed to get the tag out to Dark Wolf II, who took down Incognito with a lariat and then nailed Sairento with a corner drop-kick. The 'Howling Menace' then drilled Incognito with a Double Underhook Powerbomb.

One....

Two.....

Thr......

Sairento managed to make the save, and with Long still recovering, the 'Howling Menace' soon found himself being double teamed by the Kuro pair. However Wolf benefits from some miscommunication between Sairento and Incognito, wiith Incognito accidentally nailing the 'Silent Reaper' with a Spinning Heel-Kick.

Wolf then levelled Incognito with a lariat, before stunning Sairento with a Fireman's Carry Cutter. Wolf turned his attention back to Incognito, planting 'El Pesadilla Hermosa' with a Samoan Drop, before deciding to head up top.

Wolf looked set to come crashing down upon Incognito with the Wolf's Rain (Diving Elbow Drop) but Sairento had shaken off the effects of the Fireman's Carry Cutter and was up on the apron to prevent the 'Howling Menace' from taking flight. Dark Wolf II managed to shake Sairento off, but it provided enough of a distraction for Incognito to move out of the way of the Wolf's Rain and then stun the 'Howling Menace' with a Kip-Up Poison Rana......

One....

Two....

Thr.....

Tian Long then planted Incognito with a chokeslam and took down an on-charging Sairento with a Drop Toe Hold before applying the Dynasty Lock (Inverted STF)- but referee Ochida rightly recognised that neither was the legal man and waived off the hold.

Dark Wolf II and Tian Long then set up a new version of the Imperial Combo (Spinning Heel Kick/Backdrop Suplex), accept Incognito's trademark spinning heel kick would be subsituted with a lariat from Dark Wolf II.

Accept that the combination didn't work out, as Incognito managed to duck and Wolf ended up nailing Long instead. Dark Wolf II then found himself planted onto the canvas with an Incognito Driver (Snapmare Driver)......

One.....

Two.....

Three

On one bout of miscommunication the match had turned decisively for the Kuro-Nadeshiko pair, denying Long and Wolf a chance at instant revenge.

Result: Sairento & Incognito [w] bt Dark Wolf II & Tian Long [L] in 13:03 via pinfall (Incognito Driver)

Rating: 70

Mio Mio's Mochi: Oh yay, I get to watch four masked weirdo's beat on each other.

Takayuki Balls: This was a decent middle of the show tag, but one that never really ever looked like taking off to try and steal the show. In some ways that's a good thing, and I'm sure that the more veteran workers on either team Long and Sairento probably instructed their move youthful and exuberant partners to keep a lid on things- given the matches card position.

Post Match Comments:

In the locker-room after the match Tian Long and Dark Wolf II get in an argument about the miscommunication.....it's hard to pick up what they are saying, and one is ranting in Chinese, whilst the other is ranting in Spanish. What does become clear is that the pair's alliance as ex Kuro members trying to gain revenge on their former faction, has become very short lived.

They then notice that Sugimura will be the referee for the match and look far from happy about that, as they give the increasingly suspect referee condescending looks.

The Udon Noodle Killers, then make a point of getting in the Wrecking Crew's faces- during the pomp and ceremony of the title match introductions.

Ono and Yamawaki started things off and immediately engaged in a straight ahead brawl- though 'Epic Tsunami' had the size and power advantage, Yamawaki's more dynamic style had Ono on the backfoot- with 'Fearless' rocking Ono with a flurry of leaping fore-arm smashes.

But just as Yamawaki was building momentum Ono managed to tag out. Yamawaki then brought Date in. GUSHIKEN managed to take control with a Uranage, but the 'Stampeding Bull' popped straight back up and then winded 'Great Thunder with a spear.

Date then quickly tagged out to Yamawaki, and with GUSHIKEN still doubled over, the TWC combined on a double team back-drop suplex....

One....

Two....

Thr......

Ono broke into the ring to save the UNK from going down to a shockingly quick defeat, before getting in some cheap shots in on both of the TWC, something that referee Sugimura turned a rather convenient blind eye to. In fact Ono was allowed to stay in the ring, whip both of the TWC into the corner, and follow in with a Charging Corner Splash.

A recovered GUSHIKEN, then flung Date overhead with a Release Belly to Belly Suplex, before then nailing Oda Yamawaki with a GUSHIKEN Smash (Charging Elbow Smash).....

One.....

Two....

Thr.......

Yamawaki showed fighting spirit to kick out, but then found himself isolated in the UNK corner. The champions then whipped Yamawaki into the corner, and delivered consecutive corner splashes, before 'Fearless' suffered the indignation of having Ono's rather prominent backisde rubbed in his face.

An incensed Date got into the ring, to rage at this embarassing tactic from the champions- but all that served to do was turn away the attention of Sugimura, from what was happening on the opposite side of the ring, where GUSHIKEN was slipping on another elbow pad.

Ono held a dazed Yamawaki in place, and GUSHIKEN lined up to deliver another GUSHIKEN Smash (Charging Elbow Smash), but 'Fearless' managed to escape Ono's clutches at the last split second, leading to 'Epic Tsunami' crumbling to the canvas, like a skyscraper that had just been imploded.

GUSHIKEN in shock then found himself taken off balance with a basement drop-kick from Yamawaki, and then planted with a One Handed Bull Dog. 'Fearless' then headed up top and came crashing down upon the back of GUSHIKEN with a flying splash. However Yamawaki decided not to go for a cover, instead deciding to make make the tag to Date, but found that his partner wasn't there.....he looked out over the ring to see that his partner was knocked out, and that Soh Terajima was standing there with his Black Box in hand.

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

About to Take One For The Team......Again!

</div>

Yamawaki deciding that he had to eliminate Terajima as a factor, raced up to the top turnbuckle, and then proceeded to wipe the 'Cloaked Assassin' out with a 'Fearless' flying clothesline before Terajima could counter with a Black Box Shot. Yamawaki then proceeded to pick up Terajima's Black Box and bring it into the ring with him, only for referee Sugimura to pull it out of his hands.....

And allow a recovered GUSHIKEN to blindside Yamawaki with a GUSHIKEN Smash to the back of the head.

One.....

Two.....

Thr......

Date had come back to his senses and manages to break into the ring to make the last ditch save.

Date however was quickly ordered back to his corner by Sugimura, as Yamawaki remained in grave danger. Ono had now recovered too, and the UNK were setting up for the UDON NOODLE DEATH DROP (Flapjack/Cutter Combo)......

Yamawaki tried to fight out of it, but found himself planted into the canvas!

One.....

NO! Sugimura has been pulled out of the ring by Mio Mio ?!?!

A woman's wrath

</div>

Mio Mio gives Sugimura a slap across the face, and then proceeds to plant the referee with a Reverse STO on the floor! Her announce team colleagues Kogara and Saga utterly bemused by what is going on- though Saga did sarcastically remark that Mio must have been taking lessons from her beloved Nori-Chan.

GUSHIKEN and Ono are wondering what the hell is going on, before Ono ends up turning round into a spear from Date. Date then ducks a GUSHIKEN Smash and summons up the strength to dump 'Great Thunder' with a REJECTION II (Backdrop Suplex)....

A recovered Yamawaki has climbed up to the top turnbuckle, and rocks Ono with a Missile Drop Kick, Ono manages to stay on his feet only to be pole-axed with another Spear from Date.....

With Sugimura still out of it on the floor, referee Ochida came racing down the ring to count the pin.....

One....

Two......

Thr......

Ono managed to kick out, but then found himself turned over into a DATE WITH PAIN (Elevated Boston Crab).....

GUSHIKEN tried to get across to make the save, but was taken off his feet with a basement drop kick from Yamawaki and then turned over into a Single Leg Boston Crab.....

Both of the Udon Noodle Killers then proceed to furiously tap the mat, as Ochida calls for the bell bringing the Kuro-Nadeshiko duo's reign with the All Asia Tag Titles to a decisive end.

Result: Oda Yamawaki & Hiro Date [w] bt GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono [L] in 12:40 via submission (Date With Pain)

Mio Mio's Mochi: Ewww, no one wants to see that, absolutely no one (Mio Mio's response to the bit in the match where Ono placed his backside in Yamawaki's face).

Takyuki Balls: Not one for the purists, but this was a wildly entertaining match, that served to help hide the UNK's weaknesses. However it has to be said that with the All Asia Tag titles now back around the waists of the TWC, we should see some better quality matches over the belt.

That's not the only reason though for the title switch, one of the UNK are coming up to have their contract renewed and there is a possibility they might not meet Prime Dragon's requirements to stay with us.

Dragon and Talisman start things off and engage in some chain wrestling that leads to a stale mate, so Talisman makes the tag to Minamoto but as soon as Minamoto saw Dragon tag in Ichigawa, he immediately tagged Talisman back in.

Talisman did manage to take Ichigawa by surprise with a springboard leg lariat and then followed up with a Spinning Sit Out Sleeper Slam for a two count. The former heavyweight champion struck back with a Discus Elbow however, but before he could follow up Prime Dragon tagged himself back in. Ichigawa and Dragon argued for a bit, over Dragon's decision to tag himself back in, leading to Talisman nailing Dragon with a Drop-Kick.

'The Second Coming' then snapped off a spinning head-scissors that he transitioned into an Octopus Stretch. 'The Grand Pillar' managed to fight his way out of that and then rocked Talisman with a Rolling Wheel-Kick, before following up with a Palm Strike and then a Brainbuster for a two count.

Dragon then decided to go for the Dragonsault (Springboard Moonsault) but suddenly lost his balance when Minamoto sneakily shook the top-rope. Talisman then made the tag to Minamoto, who put the boots to the 'Grand Pillar' before hoisting Dragon upon his shoulders for the Gurugu Mawaru (Airplane Spin Samoan Drop)

That lead to a two count for Minamoto, Talisman was then tagged back in and the Junior Tag champion reeled off a standing corkscrew moonsault- but once again that could only get a two count. However the Temple duo stayed in control and proceeded to put the boots to Dragon before flinging him out to the floor, where Minamoto whipped Dragon against the guard-rail, before delivering a Decapitator (Running Bicycle Kick).

Minamoto then pitched Dragon back into the ring, before Talisman came crashing down upon the 'Grand Pillar' with a Springboard Shooting Star Press......

One....

Two....

Thr.....

Dragon once again found the fighting spirit to kick out much to the frustration of the Temple duo. Minamoto then lifted Dragon up and appeared to be setting up for the Harima DDT (Double Underhook DDT), but the former Super Junior champion, managed to slip out of it, and then stun Minamoto with a Palm Strike, before taking Minamoto by surprise with a double leg takedown.

Dragon then tried to apply a Cross Legged Inverted STF, but 'Rumble Heart' managed to fight his way out of it, and get the tag to Talisman, who peppered Dragon with a kick combination before setting up for a Beetle Suplex but the 'Grand Pillar' managed to fight his way out, force a standing switch and dump the 'Second Coming' with a Belly to Back Suplex.

Dragon was too worn down however to follow up, and simply looked to make the tag to Ichigawa. Talisman managed to get to Minamoto first, but just as it looked like Minamoto was going to prevent Dragon from making the tag to Ichigawa, the 'Grand Pillar' managed to use his free leg to nail 'Rumble Heart' with an enziguri and get the tag to a fired up Ichigawa.

Ichigawa quickly took Minamoto down to the mat, and rained down a flurry of fore-arm smashes, only for the Heavyweight champion to squirm away under the ring-ropes and go out for a powder. Ichigawa wasn't going to let Minamoto get away that easily however, and nailed 'Rumble Heart' with a Decapitator (Running Bicycle Kick) off the ring apron- only for Talisman to then stun Ichigawa with a Diving Front Flip Stunner.

Talisman then pitched Ichigawa into the ring and headed up top, before crashing down upon 'White Light' with a GOLDEN IDOL (Shooting Star Press)....

But referee Ochida waves off Talisman's pin attempt, rightfully recognising that the Junior Tag champ was not the legal man. Talisman gets in Ochida's face about the decision, and the turns round into a Decapitator from Ichigawa....Minamoto then rolls back into the ring and gets nailed with a Discus Elbow and then planted to the mat with an STO, before Ichigawa manages to get Minamoto turned over into an STF.

'Rumble Heart' manages to scramble his way to the ropes to force a rope break and then rakes the eyes of Ichigawa. Minamoto then goes to nail Ichigawa, with the signature move he stole from 'White Light' the Decapitator, but Ichigawa manages to duck under and then counters with a Dragon Screw Leg-Whip before turning 'Rumble Heart' over into a Cloverleaf.....

Talisman see's that Minamoto is trouble, and breaks up the submission hold with a basement drop-kick. Ichigawa manages to get hold of Talisman however and then plants the 'Second Coming' over the top-rope with a Front Suplex, before delivering a Rope Hung DDT.....

Ichigawa turns his attention back to Minamoto, who is still hobbled from being in the Cloverleaf. 'White Light' sets up for a Dragon Suplex, but Minamoto manages to counter that with a sneaky low blow, by lifting his heel up into Ichigawa's crotch. 'Rumble Heart' then countered with a Float Over DDT......

One...

Two......

Ichigawa kicked out but then immediately got taken down with a Hangman's Neckbreaker from Minamoto. 'Rumble Heart' felt that wouldn't be enough, and set Ichigawa up for the Harima DDT (Double Underhook DDT) but 'White Light' managed to return enough of his senses to counter with a backbody drop.

Both then decided to go for a Decapitator (Running Bicycle Kick) at the same time, leading to a mid-ring collision. Both of them lay out on the mat, all dazed before slowly crawling across to their respective corners.....

Talisman and Dragon get the tags from thei respective partners, Talisman manages to get the upper hand and plants Dragon with a spinning headscissors facebuster, before heading up top but the 'Grand Pillar' gets back to his feet and then rocks Talisman with a Leaping Palm strike, before climbing up top himself and sending the 'Second Coming' crashing back into the ring with an avalanche sunset flip powerbomb!

Talisman manages to kick out but remains in trouble....

Minamoto manages to dive in at the last split second to make the desperation save, Ichigawa rushes out of the corner and sends Minamoto to the floor.....

Running Powerbomb from Dragon......

But Dragon should know by now that you don't try to powerbomb Talisman.....

Ichigawa dives in to make the save, but then eats a Decapitator from Minamoto! Before Talisman sends himself flying out of the ring, to take out Ichigawa with a somersault plancha.

Mio Mio's Mochi: Look I've got reason to get involved in this match-up..... both sides have a masked idiot each, so I really don't care who wins. OK, maybe the grumpy looking old dude is like bit less annoying than some idiot who decides to call his faction Temple of Tsukamoto, so like yeah I kind of agree with him there but it's like you know, I don't care enough to get involved.

What you saying I shouldn't have got involved in the last match.....oh come on that jerk of a so called referee had it coming to him.

Takayuki Balls: A very good main event, though there were times where the contest lacked cohesion.....as talented as Talisman is, he does need to learn to perhaps hold back on some of the flashy manouevres at times.

Post Match Comments:

Talisman: If being part of Temple of Tsukamoto means being part of a winning team, then I'm in....I just hope that Zodiac fully comes round to the fact that the Guardians are D E A D.. Dead.

Eikichi Minamoto: Indeed listen to what Talisman-san has to say, the Guardians are dead, deader than the eyes of Oji Karasuma......Temple of Tsukamoto, shines brightly in its place.....effervescent like the joyful energy of Tenma Tsukamoto!

Hyotaru Ichigawa: Come on you of all people, should know that trying to Powerbomb Talisman is a big mistake......

Prime Dragon: Sorry, I admit I screwed up there.....but

Dragon takes a long pause

Hyotaru Ichigawa: And?

Prime Dragon: Lets not stop us teaming together in the future

Hyotaru Ichigawa: Look I'm just peeved with how things went tonight, nothing more to it....

Prime Dragon: What I really mean to say is, how about we make things more official again....

Hyotaru Ichigawa: Look you know we can't revive the Guardians, it has been tarnished forever and you know how it works round here, once a faction has been broken apart, it cannot return.....

Prime Dragon: I know that, I know that but we have a common enemy and when we teamed together, we were strong.....I was foolish and yet an egomaniac tear that apart......

Hyotaru Ichigawa: You're right we do have a common enemy, but it's too late to un-do what cannot be undone.

Prime Dragon: I know that, but that does not mean we should reject our past as we head towards the future.

Hyotaru Ichigawa: Look I'll think about it, but if it will have to be on my terms.

Prime Dragon: I fully understand, I admit that I failed as a leader but please do consider us once again fighting alongside one another.....

Hyotaru Ichigawa: I already said I would think about it.

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

Overall: 76

</div>

Takayuki's Final Verdict: It perhaps lacked that absolutely killer main event to take the show to the next level, but overall this was a solid post PPV show. The unit shake-up has resulted in the Guardians of DIASPORA, transitioning into the Temple of Tsukamoto (I don't think many were surprised when Minamoto decided to re-image the stable around him), there are hints at a reunion between the deposed leaders of the Guardians and there was a somewhat controversial title change.

Zergon · June 24, 2013

Oh god, Minamoto and Talisman are going to form a "group" with just the two of them, aren´t they? Or maybe you could add Incognito for the group and call it team EGO. Not that Minamoto would approve that since it isn´t School Rumble reference. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Result: Xtinction [w] bt Kan Mitsubishi [L] in 6:06 via pinfall (X.L.E)

Minor upset in my eyes but it makes sense. Kan is dull, bland, plain. Boring. Xtinction at least is amusing at least has some minor entertainment value. Tuturu lite.

I’m surprised Talisman was so content to be a bit player in someone else’s ego stroking. But at least the yaoi fangirls can have some fun with that. Zodiac remaining silent was more surprising. I don’t think he’s long for this little group. Zergon’s Incognito comment is interesting. I could see that. And the group needs to be more than a tag team.

'Oh of course, you still think it's the Edo period

Tokugawa jidai represent!

I’m leaning toward the Temple crumbling. Minamoto is zany but I’m not convinced he can handle running a serious faction. He hasn’t done much to enhance the prestige of the title or command respect. Yes yes, I know, Ichigawa is boring. Until he gets into the ring. I just get such a WCW Jericho vibe from Minamoto currently. Hopefully he develops into WWE Jericho.

Result: RIKU [w] bt Go Takashi + Horiuchi Inokuma + Nyan Nyan Neko Man in 10:41 via pinfall (Crusnik Bomb)

The new midcard bully to replace Dark Wolf? RIKU may have a higher ceiling and KURO needs more wrestlers with the losses lately.

Better than the opening!<img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Result: Zodiac [w] bt Blood Spider Jr [L] in 7:34 via submission (Twelve Signs)

Still thinking Zodiac is either going off on his own or joining back up with PD at some point. But it would be hard for him to turn his back on the tag titles.

The Tuturu! trio are accompanied by Matsuo's bevy of Bishojo dancers and treat the fans to a dance routine, with Matsuo wooing the female's in the audience with his swivel hips.

Pretty obvious who needs to be elevated to a star in this match. Make it so!

Paul Crowley: Yes quite, Mr Wolfe but please do replicate your feelings with a little more articulation.

And sophistication and eloquation. For the moment Wolfe seems to have swung momentum into the AC corner. Wait, is eloquation a word? Google disagrees but what do they know. Maybe it's eloquence.

Result: Hiroto Nori [w] bt Taheji Ebisawa [L] in 9:02 via pinfall (Flying Bonito)

I almost skipped past this match. Evidently the Nyquil is clouding my mind more than I thought. Not much to the match in any case. Ebisawa has a ways to go before he’ll be beating Nori and everyone knows it. But part of the process of building him up is giving him competitive matches against top stars and this was good enough to give me hope he can become a star himself.

Sairento stomped away on Long to make the suddenly desperate save. Sairento then tried to nail Long with an Absolute Terror (Front Knee Strike) but the savvy veteran had the move well scouted and countered with a Dragon Screw Leg-Whip.

Makes sense, Long has worked with Sairento forever. It would have to be hard to fight guys you've teamed with for so long. SHIP does it but I get the feeling they train seprately alot of the time. While KURO is kinda like a cult.

Result: Sairento & Incognito [w] bt Dark Wolf II & Tian Long [L] in 13:03 via pinfall (Incognito Driver)

Typical stuff. Sairento and Incognito are the big guns of KURO so very unlikely to lose, no matter what grudge their opponents have. And Wolf and Long can’t work together as a team so there goes their only chance. But I’m assuming their grudge with their old faction won’t just go away.

Result: Oda Yamawaki & Hiro Date [w] bt GUSHIKEN & Chojiro Ono [L] in 12:40 via submission (Date With Pain)

Yay. Kinda. I suppose. Titles changing hands with outside interference is never going to sit well with the “purists” (I think he means me) and why Mio would charge $ugimura now instead of when his biased reffing is causing trouble for Nori is strange. I don’t think she’s suddenly decided Hiro Date is too cute to live. So it must be the SHIP connection. I kept waiting for the Dusty finish where $ugimura wakes up and tells everyone the Tokyo Wrecking Crew were DQ’ed for getting help from Mio. Maybe the stoicism of puroresu is getting to Tiger.<img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Result: Eikichi Minamoto [w] & Talisman bt Hyotaru Ichigawa & Prime Dragon [L] in 21:28 via pinfall (Ode To Eri)

Strong match but not enough so to save the rating for the night. Still, this was a good reminder why Minamoto and Talisman are champions. Silly antics aside they are great wrestlers and putting them in against Ichigawa and Dragon are a great test. We also saw that Talisman wrestles better when Zodiac is there to rein in his emotions.
