Welcome

We here at Osaka Spirit Puroresu weekly are a small newspaper in comparison to the bigger counterpart, Tokyo Sports Daily, but much like PGHW, we are in this for the long haul. Tokyo Sports fails to recognize a promotion like PGHW, instead opting to cover the bigger Puro company, BHOTWG. So we here at Osaka have taken to covering PGHW and showing you there rise to glory. Without further ado, let the newspaper articles role in.

Mito Miwa: The warrior, legend, Pride incarnate

http://i1356.photobucket.com/albums/q735/bazzalloyd86/Requests/Mito%20Miwa_zpsliqhqsbn.jpg

This past year, Mito Miwa, the Japanese legend has seen his in-ring career slow down due to multiple injuries, but his dedication to putting on good matches and making sure PGHW survive in this time of uncertainty in the Japanese puro scene, is unmatched. The plans for Miwa this year seem to have his student, Kozue Kashima turn on his mentor and strike out as the young ace who seeks to make PHGW truly transcend BHOTWG. Miwa was seen this past week at a local shoe shop, but he was the usual quiet, stoic individual we have come to expect. We here expect to see Miwa take a month break in preparation for PGHW’s new tour and I certainly expect him to be a major part of the tour moving forward, but also a favorite for the glory crown this year.

The Emperor's Elbow:A new move for the new generation

http://i.cubeupload.com/ykzjNn.jpg

Kozue Kawashima, is the reigning and defending PGHW Glory Crown champion and the youngster is the ace of PHGW's New generation which features men like Tetsunori Yasuda, Kazushige Matsuki, etc. Kozue has been seen throughout Japan to promote PGHW and also make sure the fans know exactly who they should be backing. The young ace has had his spot challenged by friend, PRIDE Koiso, their last match held for the PGHW Glory Crown ended with a new move. It is called The Emperor's Elbow, a diving elbow off the top rope, hit with such force it almost caused PRIDE a serious injury. The next PGHW tour may be long off, but never mind the wait, Osaka Spirit will be here to update you on news, comings and goings, and many more. Stay locked for our next story, which features a roster overview, event predictions, and the signings for the next tour.

My Miwa alt!! You used it in a diary?!

Good luck with this buddy, let me know if you need anything else

Tiberious · March 20, 2016

Not a lot of people play outside the US or Canada in the C-Verse, so I'll be following this for sure.

of course, the alt is awesome, I will definitely send you something if I need any help.

Not a lot of people play outside the US or Canada in the C-Verse, so I'll be following this for sure.

Yeah, the amount of people who play this game and the C-verse yet don't venture out is absurd to me, but I guess to each its own, PHGW started being my fav promotion since I first played, the AJPW nostalgia called and I started booking.

thecoolestjedi12 · March 20, 2016

Note from the writer: So you will probable be wondering what this diary is and why I used some cheesy newspaper name and some journalists for it, well simply put, This diary will be based around 1 thing that helps the story of PGHW. I have put my own spin on the roster, by editing some of the movesets, providing background on last year, changing some champions, etc. Simply put, this will include write-ups of the shows with some journal entries every few or so shows in between. The characters of this story are three journalists who look to take the puro news writing scene by storm.

The Young boy

Shintani Takauji

The 23 year old writer has been in love with puro since the age of 10 years old, but never really got his break in the wrestling scene, so he wrote and started a blog at 18 that gained a cult following, he then moved to Tokyo sports, but ended up as a intern, so he left and found me, I taught the youngster more than he ever knew and was the father Shintani never had. His success in this business will be based on his effort he puts in.

The Friend

Minamoto Yoshiiku

Minamoto Yoshiiku is the son of my best friend and also a good writer in his own right. We have recently begun to hang out and after having a few too much sake with the man, we have shared good and bad tales and learned to trust each other. He will be a legend when the history dust has settled.

The Boss

Koyanagi Kano

Now there is me, I'm a former construction worker in Tokyo, but the job was never for me, so I moved to the countryside, got a crappy tv and watched some puro back in 2003, I learned to hate the junior stuff, no offense to Elemental and Optimus, they are great, but stiff, painful heavyweight action was my calling and I found PGHW, which remains to this day my favorite Puro company and one I hope to see succeed. Staring this company form the ground with two other writers and some friends who help do some cleaning and such around the small office in Osaka.

PHGW Courageous Warrior Tour # 1 Article & Match Listings

Osaka Spirit Puroresu Weekly

By: Koyanagi Kano

PGHW Starts off Their Courageous Warrior Tour tonight in the Osaka Athletic Stadium with the headline match expected to be PHGW Glory Crown Champion, Kozue Kawashima & PRIDE Koiso Vs. Shuji Inukai & Yoshimi Musashibo. The other matches include a PGHW Elite Series Block A match between Raymond Diaz and Tetsunori Yasuda. It is expected that PGHW will be trying to push Tetsunori into Glory Crown status with this tour and perhaps he will be a main contender against Kozue going forward. All and all, I expect Night 1 of their tour to be a good one and perhaps we will see a contender emerge for Kozue sooner or later.

The geek with the Japan head band isn't winning this one. He's too nationalistic.

Never bet against a Diaz.

PHGW Elite Series Block B Match

Kazushige Matsuki VS. William Hayes

Personal Preference here, they're both at roughly the same level on the card but I like Hayes more.

PHGW Elite Series Block A Match

Raymond Diaz Vs. Tetsunori Yasuda.

Diaz is a monster, and should only really be losing to your top top guys; which Yasuda may one day be, but not just yet.

Kozue Kawashima & PRIDE Koiso Vs. Shuji Inukai & Yoshimi Musashibo

This should be a great match; especially when you add in the two teams tag experience. I'll take Kozue and Pride here since they have more years left in them.

Kazushige plays to the crowd early by throwing out punches to the air.

Tetsunori Yasuda After their entrances, both men come forward to the center to honor the PGHW code. Tetsunori offers the hand and Raymond grabs it roughly and makes the smaller man contort his face. Tetsunori pulls away, but Raymond pulls him back in and throws the shorter man across the ring with a Belly-to-Belly suplex. The ref gives Raymond a stern talking to, but ‘'The Spanish Monster’’ ignores him and the ref rings the bell. And goes over to a hurt Tetsunori and pulls up the Japanese darling, trapping in the corner of the ring and delivering overhead punches to the head as the turnbuckle rings each time Raymond pushes the limp Tetsunori back into the corner. Tetsunori falls down onto the canvas and Raymond goes to pick him up. He puts him into a powerbomb formation and slams him down onto the mat with a vicious powerbomb. Raymond goes for a pin on the limp body of Tetsunori. One..... Two..... Thre--KICKOUT!!! The crowd goes wild as Tetsunori kicks out and Diaz looks pissed. He goes to pick up Tetsunori, but he didn’t expect the previously limp Tetsunori to land a vicious video-game like punch to the abdomen of Diaz, making the big guy hunch over. The crowd begins a chant of “Yasuda” as the young japanese star takes control momentarily. Tetsunori tries to capitalize, but is met with the charging shoulder of Diaz as he is pushed backwards into the corner of the ring, his back ricocheting off the turnbuckle and falling limp onto the canvas. Diaz pulls the body to the middle of the ring and covers him for a pin. One.... Two..... Three! Diaz picks up two points in what was thought to be a quick squash, but Tetsunori didn’t back down and showed his fighting spirit to the crowd here in Osaka. Raymond Diaz Defeated Tetsunori Yasuda in 18:57 by pinfall. Match Rating: B- As Diaz gets out of the ring, he grabs a chair at ringside and rolls into the ring, chair in hand. He proceeds to punish Tetsunori with vicious chair shots that ring throughout the arena. He roars, throwing the chair down and leaving as young lions rush to aid Tetsunori.</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41045" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>http://i.cubeupload.com/ykzjNn.jpg & http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff206/freebird8818/PRIDEKoiso-1.jpghttp://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o752/cyborgpanda529thecoolestjedi/f30b0fc7-1a8b-49b0-b1a5-0e2cd2db5a96_zpsqh3tb7p2.jpghttp://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff206/freebird8818/ShujiInukai-1.jpg & http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o109/hrdcoresidebrns/PGHW%20Dynasty/YoshimiMushashibo.jpg Kozue Kawashima & PRIDE Koiso Vs. Shuji Inukai & Yoshimi Musashibo Kozue enters alongside his friend, PRIDE Koiso, both men were cheered on their way to the ring with many females trying to catch the arm of Kozue or even touch his hair. This entrance was in stark contrast to the entrance by Shuji Inukai & Yoshimi Musashibo, both men were stern on their way to the ring and slapped hands of fans hoping to touch them. Their demeanor was stern and they glared at Kozue from the opposite side of the ring. In the ring, all 4 men honor the PGHW code by shaking their hands before the match. PRIDE started it off for his team against ‘’The Untouchable’’ Shuji Inukai. Both men hooked up with neither man gaining the advantage, but PRIDE attempted a punch after the two separated and this was ducked by Shuji who followed it up with a quick lariat. PRIDE hit the canvas and Shuji picked him up once again and sent him into his corner of the ring where ‘’Tech Wiz’’ Yoshimi Musashibo was waiting. Shuji hit a few larits as on PRIDE as the warrior was stuck in the corner of Shuji and Yoshimi. As PRIDE fell over from the repeated lariats, Shuji tagged in Yoshimi who quickly went to putting his technical moves to work. Yoshimi locked in a crossface trying to make PRIDE tap out, but the warrior powered out and rolled Yoshimi over, pinning Yoshimi’s shoulders to the mat for a count. One... Two... KICKOUT! PRIDE quickly rolled over to his corner where his partner, Kozue Kawashima tagged himself in. The crowd chanted for Kozue as the young champ circled Yoshimi. Both men tied up, but Kozue transitioned behind and hit a vicious german on Yoshimi. Kozue goes over and picks up Yoshimi and then irish whips him into his corner. He puts him up on the top turnbuckle and proceeds to climb as well. Putting Yoshimi’s arm over his head and gripping his trunks, Kozue prepares for a superplex, but Yoshimi reverses by planting his feet onto the ropes and refusing to budge. As Kozue tries to punch the abdomen of Yoshimi, he is lifted up and superplexed onto the outside of the ring. The crowd goes crazy as both men are pretty much knocked out from the huge superplex. The ref begins his count, if he reaches 20 then this match will be a draw. 1....Neither man can stir 2......PRIDE attempts to wake Kozue 3.....Shuji catches PRIDE from behind with a Untouchable Lariat, knocking him out cold. 4......Yoshimi stirs and uses the guardrails to get up 5......Kozue gets up with the help of the ring apron 6…… Yoshimi crawls on his knees towards Kozue 7….. Shuji picks up the motionless body of PRIDE and throws him into the guardrail 8…… Yoshimi gets up and so does Kozue 9….. Both men trade strikes, Kozue throws chops and Yoshimi throws kicks on the legs 10…… Kozue catches the leg of Yoshimi and irish whips him into the ring 11…...Kozue finally enters the ring and we continue the match Yoshimi is picked up and Irish whipped into the ropes, he bounces off and is met with a K-Kick from Kozue. As Yoshimi’s body hits the canvas, he finds himself pinned by Kozue. One… Two… Thr- KICKOUT!!! Kozue cannot believe it as Yoshimi rolls over onto his back. The submission master finds that to be a mistake as Kozue locks in a vicious Boston crab, arching the back and making Yoshimi scream with pain. Yoshimi shows that being a master of holds comes with more than just applying submissions, but knowing how to get out of them as the veteran uses his lower body strength and flips Kozue over. Both men are physically exhausted, Kozue lying on the mat trying to crawl to his corner and Yoshimi tries to make it to the nearest turnbuckle. Kozue lifts himself up to much fanfare and Yoshimi does the same, but both men collapse and the ref throws this classic out as a draw. Team Youthful Spirit(Kozue Kawashima & PRIDE Koiso) Drew with Team Top Class(Shuji Inukai & Yoshimi Musashibo) in 45:00 when both Kozue Kawashima & Yoshimi Musashibo were unable to continue. Match Rating( B+) After the Match interviewers catch the only man who was still in condition to give a interview, Shuji Inukai Shuji Inukai: ''PRIDE......You are not fit to carry yourself in a PGHW ring, coming out as some lackey to that young punk, Kozue! Have some self-respect for yourself!!!

We here expected great things, but we saw a draw that carried the show and gave fans in Osaka something to tell their friends about. The PGHW Elite Series also kicked off with predictable wins by Raymond Diaz & William Hayes, but the most interesting fallout from that match was the callout by Shuji Inukai on PRIDE Koiso. Both men are in Block A, so I’m expecting some fireworks to go off in that one, but as for our reader’s predictions here we go. First Up: MHero who was 2/3, not predicting the draw like many of our readers, but it was a fine time of predictions, so better luck next time. P.S.(I like Tetsunori, he does not belong in WLW, they do not deserve his gorgeous face.) Mootinie: His comments mentioned a Okada & Ishii who are maybe fictional wrestlers in his world, but I certainly would not know them here. Going 2/3 isn’t bad at all, which is what most of our readers predicted. MisterRomanini: Sadly he finished 1/3, thinking that the amauter boxer and laughing stock of PGWW was ever going to defeat the mighty cheetah that is William Hayes. Here's a KA-POW for you brother as Kazushige would say. Better luck next time. Tiberious4: Went 2/3 as well and hopefully as more matches are added, these predictions will get more interesting, but for now enjoy the 3-way tie.</div></blockquote>

PHGW Courageous Warriors Tour #2 Wednesday Match Listings/ News article Osaka Spirit Puroresu Weekly By: Koyanagi Kano <img alt="cSL0xMxn0yb8EekdwYaTRP-QnnYjc3mrTHeddIct_2Y?size_mode=3&size=1024x768" data-src="https://photos-2.dropbox.com/t/2/AAAGvr62EXvLMLh1yXGhlOeHA2r2aGjZEleH8RdyEFsHOg/12/38398660/jpeg/32x32/1/1458691200/0/2/CVFP_AsianAnnouncer_001.jpg/EO71oB0Y1YADIAcoBw/cSL0xMxn0yb8EekdwYaTRP-QnnYjc3mrTHeddIct_2Y?size_mode=3&size=1024x768" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> PGHW Courageous Warriors Tour #2 PHGW kicks off the second night of their tour with all matches being Elite Series tournament matches and these match ups look pretty good and some even hard to predict. First up we have the ‘’One Punch Man’’ Kazushige Matsuki Vs. PRIDE Koiso. This one is a no-brainer to me, having Kazushige win with his right hook would be too easy, he has to work for this win, but PRIDE has to get Shuji in a one on one confrontation, I don’t expect him to lose. Up next is a Block A match with Seiji Jimbo and Tetsunori Yasuda. Seiji is young and the international champion, but something tells me that Tetsunori could win this tournament and become a new main eventer in PGHW. Our next two matches are match of the year on paper, we have ‘’Lord of Strong Style’’ Eisaku Kunomasu VS. ‘’Tech Wiz’’ Yoshimi Musashibo. Yoshimi was my pick early after his showing on Monday, but Eisaku is fresh and ready for another shot at the glory crown, so for this I’m calling a win for Eisaku. Our next match is between PGHW Glory Crown holder, Kozue Kawashima & ‘’The Untouchable’’ Shuji Inukai. Both men have something to prove, Kozue is going to want to protect his status as champion because if he loses, Shuji could be his next challenger even without the Tournament win. I have to say that this PRIDE Koiso & Shuji Inukai rivalry could build to a semi-final match of even an early encounter, but I expect this match-up between Kozue & Shuji to be a draw.

PRIDE Koiso(0-0-0) PRIDE Makes his way to the ring after Kazushige comes out with his trademark right hook to the air. As both competitors make their way to the center of the ring, the crowd chants for PRIDE and he gives them a smile. The match starts off with some ground and pound by PRIDE, who insists on locking in submission holds and punching the exposed areas of Kazushige. PRIDE stands up and motions for Kazushige to do the same, taking this as a sign of PRIDE trying to give him the upper hand, Kazushige quickly gets up and rushes forward with his right hook, but he misses, spinning around and getting caught with the Koiso Cutter. Pride pins the fallen boxer. One.... Two.... Three! PRIDE gets up and young lions rush to give aid to the fallen Kazushige and the crowd cheers PRIDE on his way to the back. PRIDE Koiso defeated Kazushige Matsuki in 7:45 by pinfall with the Koiso Cutter(Diamond Cutter). Match Rating© Interviewers catch up to both men after the match, even though Kazushige could be given a cold shower to jog his memory. Kazushige Matsuki: I heard I gave PRIDE a real whooping and connected with my right hook, but unfortunately I was knocked out by the force of it. PRIDE Koiso: Matsuki-San gave a great fight, I would hate to be the one who eats his right hook, but moving on from that, I heard that Shuji-San has issued a challenge towards me, calling into question my commitment to this company and to the goal of becoming champion. I shall not tolerate it, I will face you at some point in this block and when I do, you will reconsider your sentiments.</div></blockquote> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41045" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><img alt="1xb4ofWKR8yAzxjn4eiCMk1377I8stzpiU4O9URQ7Gg?size_mode=3&size=1024x768" data-src="https://photos-3.dropbox.com/t/2/AAC1LYjdGqE5GCB-4K-OgD3hrNXkXd96ufBt2VjVGDGsQA/12/38398660/jpeg/32x32/1/1458691200/0/2/PGHW_Elite.jpg/EO71oB0Y1YADIAcoBw/1xb4ofWKR8yAzxjn4eiCMk1377I8stzpiU4O9URQ7Gg?size_mode=3&size=1024x768" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff206/freebird8818/SeijiJimbo-1.jpghttp://i1341.photobucket.com/albums/o752/cyborgpanda529thecoolestjedi/f30b0fc7-1a8b-49b0-b1a5-0e2cd2db5a96_zpsqh3tb7p2.jpghttp://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff206/freebird8818/TetsunoriYasuda.jpg PGHW Elite Series Block A Match Seiji Jimbo(0-0-0) Vs. Tetsunori Yasuda(0-0-1) The fans were behind Tetsunori after his gutsy performance on Monday, but Seiji was no pushover, after the two shook hands they got to work with wrestling. Seiji had a variety of strikes varying from chops, punches, and kicks, but Tetsunori took them like a champ and came back with an array of suplexes on Seiji. As Tetsunori tried to go for a DDT, he was reversed and flipped over onto the canvas as Seiji climbed ontop of him and pummeled his face with palm strikes. The ref tried to pull Seiji off, but the young man kept going and eventually drew blood from Tetsunori. The ref saw that Tetsunori could no longer protect himself and threw this match out to the anger of fans in attendance who thought Tetsunori was still conscious. Seiji got up quickly and left the ring as fans jeered him on the way to the back. Seiji Jimbo Defeated Tetsunori Yasuda in 12:57 by referee stoppage. Match Rating( C+) As Seiji exits to the back, Tetsunori gets up on his own with a few young lions helping him up as the fans in attendance stand on their feet and clap for this display of resilience and bushido from Tetsunori. Seiji Jimbo: That fool couldn’t even protect himself, I deserved that win and if you tell me otherwise, I’ll lay into your face. Move outta the way. Tetsunori Yasuda: That is two losses in a row for me.

Both men shake hands and go back towards their respective corners, the bell is rung and they walk towards the center. Eisaku runs forward with a strong knee, which hits Yoshimi square in the chest and makes him fall to the mat. Eisaku then locks in a sleeper hold, pinning Yoshimi face down on the canvas and getting the ref to check on Yoshimi. The ref goes to lift Yoshimi’s hand, but is startled as Eisaku transitions to a standing position. Standing, Eisaku lands knees to the back of Yoshimi, forcing the submission master to cry out in pain from the stiff strikes. The submission master is then picked up and suplexed by Eisaku who immediately transitions to a pin. One.... Tw-KICKOUT! Yoshimi gets his shoulder up and Eisaku goes to pull him to his feet. He is sent into the corner and just as he gets some air in his lungs, it is knocked out by a running knee strike from ‘’The Lord of Strong Style’’ who then follows it up with a Kunomasu Crush. The ref begins his count as Yoshimi has his shoulders pinned to the mat. One.... Two..... Thr------KICKOUT!!! Yoshimi again gets his shoulder up and Eisaku picks him up again, making both men face level, but is countered as Yoshimi uses the position to grab the arm of Eisaku and push him out so slightly and then hit Eisaku with a Yoshimi Explosion ‘02, knocking him out cold. Yoshimi goes for the pin. ONE... TWO.... Three! The fans give a rousing applause for the two men as both are attended to by young lions equipped with ice bags for the both of them. Yoshimi Musashibo Defeated Eisaku Kunomasu in 30:05 by pinfall with a Yoshimi Explosion ‘02(Short Arm Lariat) Match Rating: (B) Later, both Yoshimi & Eisaku are interviewed for their thoughts on the Match. Eisaku Kunomasu:........... Yoshimi Musashibo: This is just the beginning for me here in the Elite Series, I will defeat all comers and show them what a true master of all holds can do. This was the first in many battles, but I cannot be beat this year, either I or Shuji-San will leave with the trophy.

Kozue makes his entrance in direct contrast, he is slow on his way to the ring, poses with a few fans and points to his title. Kozue enters the ring and as his colorful jacket is handed to some young lions at ringside. Kozue offer his hand, but instead of shaking it, Shuji just backs off and the bell rings. Both men meet in the center of the ring and put their faces just inches apart with some insults being thrown around from both. Kozue gets shoved a bit backwards by Shuji, but answers back with a vicious knife edge chop the the chest of Shuji, but the older vet takes it and answers back with a short lariat, but Kozue simply answers back with a chop and is met with another lariat. As Kozue hits a chop, Shuji goes for a lariat, but Kozue dodges under it and as Shuji turns around, he is hit square on the chin with a K-Kick! Kozue goes to cover Shuji. One... Tw--KICKOUT!!! Shuji gets his shoulder up. Kozue picks up the ‘'Lariat King’’ and irish whips him into the ropes opposite to Kozue and as Shuji ricochets back, Kozue grabs Shuji as the vet comes into a near collision with Kozue and lands a vicious flapjack, sending Shuji to roll out of the ring to recover, but the referee begins his count. One.....Shuji finds his way around the guardrail Two....Kozue tries to leave the ring, but the ref stops him Three....Shuji gets his footing and taunts Kozue to come to the outside Four....Kozue defies the ref and leaves the ring, but as he gets both feet on the ground, he is laid out with a “Untouchable Lariat” Five.....Shuji picks up Kozue and rolls him into the ring as well as getting in the ring himself. Back in the ring, Shuji goes for the cover on Kozue. One.... Two.... Thre- KICKOUT!!! Kozue barely gets his shoulder up and Shuji picks up the defiant champion and puts him into position for the Inukai Driver, but Kozue flips Shuji over and he lands on his back as Kozue tries to stabilize himself. Kozue finds his footing after hoisting Shuji over his back and picks up the veteran, drilling him with a Double K Killer. Kozue isn’t finished, he exits onto the apron and ascends the tope rope.

Osaka Spirit Puroresu Weekly

By: Shintani Takauji

PGHW has come off the fallout of Wednesday's Courageous Warriors tour for the second night complete with 4 matches, all related to the PGHW Elite Series. In the first bout, PRIDE Koiso picked up a predictable and easy win over ‘’Tournament Jobber’’ Kazushige Matsuki with Kazushige playing tot eh usual underdog shtick he usually does. The second bout saw PGHW International Champion, Seiji Jimbo pick up a win over the resilient Tetsunori Yasuda. Tetsunori seems to have all of Osaka on his side even through his loss, but such is the plight of the underdog. The last two matches were really something, as Yoshimi Musashibo picked up a hard fought and closely contested victory over Eisaku Kunomasu. With this great semi main to follow, Kozue Kawashima & Shuji Inukai proved why they are the gems of PGHW and delivered a great match hampered only by a few minor flaws. With the ever continuing story of Shuji & PRIDE, one has to wonder how the loyalties of their teams will be tested. On to my favorite part of this newspaper though, the predictions by our readers with first place being: MHero with a score of 6/7, ahead due to alphabetical reasoning and who seems to go against the grain with his hatred of Tetsunori Yasuda.

In second we had: MisterRomaini with a placing of 6/7 and not falling for Kazushige’s false promises of wins.

In third place was Tiberious4 with a score of 5/7 and a belief that Tetsunori could and might win, but sadly it was for not.

PGHW differs from this a little bit with the idea of a team system, similar to stables or MMA groups in that members of these teams train together, hang out, etc. The one major difference than most stables are that these teams want to fight each other to prove their worth or become the leader, say a young lion is ready for the primetime, but the leader of his team is a older vet who has faded from glory, well that young lion would challenge that older vet to a match to determine the leader of their team. In PGHW, teams also operate as a rotating tag team, so any two members of that team make up a tag team and can hold the belts as a tag team representing that team, so Person A & Person B could have won the tag titles, but it could be defended by Person C & Person D. No matter what if a team loses to a team enough times, they cannot get another member of their team to tag with them and become champions because that tag team represents that team and this rule plays a major factor once the PGHW Elite Tag Team Series rolls around, but to represent this, we take you to a overview of the major teams in PGHW, their members and purpose. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="41045" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div>Team PRIDE Leader: Mito Miwa Other Members: Eisaku Kunomasu, Akinori Kwakmai Team that usually represent this Group:Team Pride(Usually made up of Mito Miwa & Akinori Kwakami) Bio: Formed around 2005, Team PRIDE represents the ideal of PGHW that involve being proud of your accomplishments and putting it all out there in the ring for each and every fan.

PHGW Courgaeous Warriors Tour #3

PGHW Elite Series Block A

Akinori Kwakami(0-0-0) Vs. Tetsunori Yasuda(0-0-2)

Hmmm. Let's see. One of my legitimate favourite PGHW workers vs my least favourite. It's a no brainer really.

PGHW Elite Series Block B

William Hayes(1-0-0) Vs. Shuji Inukai(0-0-1)

Slick Willy comes close but he can't quite pull it off and ends up beaten by Shuji.

Six Man Tag Action

The Tokyo Bombers(Ryoma Muruyama & Masaru Ugaki) & Art Reed Vs. KitoGuchi(Bussho Makiguchi & Chojiro Kitoaji) & Eien Miyamoto

Ugaki is the man. I don't even care if Art Reed is technically in the match, Ugaki & Muruyama are enough for me.

PGHW Elite Series Block A

Raymond Diaz(1-0-0) Vs. Yoshimi Mushashibo(1-0-0)

Yoshimi taps out another fool.

Special Tag Match

Team Youthful Spirit(Kozue Kawashima & PRIDE Koiso) Vs. Mito Miwa & Eisaku Kunomasu

You're going all in with them it seems and Mito & Eisaku are too old to be at the top of the PGHW card.

Tiberious · March 25, 2016

PHGW Courgaeous Warriors Tour #3

PGHW Elite Series Block A

Akinori Kwakami(0-0-0) Vs. Tetsunori Yasuda(0-0-2)

Yasuda let his country down. He let his friends down. He let his family down. He let himself down. Worst of all he let me down, and that is unforgivable.

PGHW Elite Series Block B

William Hayes(1-0-0) Vs. Shuji Inukai(0-0-1)

Bounce back win for Shuji.

Six Man Tag Action

The Tokyo Bombers(Ryoma Muruyama & Masaru Ugaki) & Art Reed Vs. KitoGuchi(Bussho Makiguchi & Chojiro Kitoaji) & Eien Miyamoto

Set up a tag title shot.

PGHW Elite Series Block A

Raymond Diaz(1-0-0) Vs. Yoshimi Mushashibo(1-0-0)

He's a monster damn it.

Special Tag Match

Team Youthful Spirit(Kozue Kawashima & PRIDE Koiso) Vs. Mito Miwa & Eisaku Kunomasu

The more full time team wins
