While he is expected to stay in Canada, London’s influence was seen immediately at the press conference held in Kobe, Japan earlier today as Canadian and Japanese flags flanked London and Haruko Kudo. The duo announced a new schedule for the Japanese promotion, bringing about two monthly events instead of one. The New Year’s Carnival, which will be held on New Year’s day has a complete lineup announced and many believe this might be the best card in the Kudo era.

Very modern, very western… Maybe one day GCG will return to its roots, but for now time’s arrow marches forward.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="JoEO0Lr.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/JoEO0Lr.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="zwN42l9.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zwN42l9.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="zkcze1w.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zkcze1w.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> </span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><span style="font-size:18px;">Lion Genji vs. Shotaro Ikina</span></span></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><span style="font-size:18px;"> </span></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';">The hard hitting action of </span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><strong>Golden Canvas Grappling</strong></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> kick off 2016 with a bang as the young </span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><strong>Lion Genji</strong></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> took on the legendary tag specialist </span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><strong>Shotaro Ikina.</strong></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"> My Japanese is a tad rusty, so forgive me but I believe the announce team mentioned Ikina’s current partner, </span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"><strong>Yasuhide Tayama would be in tonight’s Carnival Battle Royal </strong></span></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';">meaning the formidable tag team could be holders of both the Openweight and World titles the next time GCG returns to Osaka.

Sozen truly is a giant compared to some men, although at only 6’7, he would be on par with many American stars and his size and charisma make it only a matter of time until an American company like USPW come calling for him. Until then, the youngster is plying his trade in the Golden Canvas and his dominating style (alongside Kingman’s selling ability) really makes this a fun match to watch. It’s, by no means, a classic but it is something that shows how bigger men should be booked, win or lose, as Ishinomori tosses Kingman post to post.

Golden Canvas and marks one of the first jumps from Black Canvas to Golden Canvas since BCG was established back in 2011 and it’s quite the steal as Okamoto was definitely primed to lead BCG into the future, and enter the main event scene. The Samoan trio began the match with many tags and many taunts to the crowd. Unlike most GCG matches where there is very little difference between the designated heel or face, the Samoan trio attempted to draw heat from the riled up crowd from the beginning. The loud boos of the crowd, the anger that seeped into the ring only seemed to empower the Samoan Trio who fed off it and it threw off the tag champs. The former Black Canvas Grappler Okamoto seemed to be the only one to phase it out and when he was in the ring it showed. The six men went in and out, exchanging blows with each other as soon as each tag was made. While the wrestling wasn’t anything phenomenal, the crowd was into it being one of the louder Golden Canvas crowds in quite a while. </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Shingen Miyazaki looked like he was going to get Rhino Umaga locked in an Ankle Lock but a blind tag by Massacre came into play and it was Shingen Miyazaki who would eat the pinfall when he tried to go one on one with the massive Massacre and ate a Black Descent (Black Hole Slam) for his troubles at the 30 minute mark.</strong></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Rating - ✯✯✯</strong></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="4TW0URf.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/4TW0URf.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="zwN42l9.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zwN42l9.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="JoEO0Lr.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/JoEO0Lr.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:18px;">Jimmy Cox vs. Lion Genji</span></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:18px;"> </span></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The announce team reminds viewers of Jimmy Cox’s quest for the title, noting how close Cox was to getting a title shot last month. With the youngster Lion Genji in the opposite corner, Jimmy Cox absolutely tears into Genji from the bell.

Cox begins to stare at his hands, laughing to himself. Haruki Kudo gets into the ring to the post match interview, but as Kudo attempts to ask Cox questions, the former champion simply sits there laughing into his hands. Kudo simply calls for someone to get the madman out of the ring. Cox stops laughing and shoots a death stare at Kudo before rolling out and heading to the back, in silence.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="bQk34A6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bQk34A6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="LlKiwSK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/LlKiwSK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="zwN42l9.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zwN42l9.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="nlbb2MQ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nlbb2MQ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5utfNBP.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5utfNBP.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:18px;">Dean Daniels & Greg Gauge vs. Harumi Okazawaya & SUKI</span></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:18px;"> </span></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">The announce team tries to recover from the odd Jimmy Cox interaction as tag action comes up. </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>The gaijin team looks focused after the altercation earlier this month</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> left them looking disunited. </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Okazawaya and SUKI however are used to this pressure,</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> With it being an exhibition, much like the last tag match Daniels & Gauge were in, this wouldn’t count for tag rankings but it certainly can boost careers and three of the four men brought their best.

The other youngster, Greg Gauge, has pedigree written over him (being Sam Keith’s son will do that to you) and when he and SUKI were in the ring, it was magic. Okazawaya also brought a good game as well, and it was Okazawaya and SUKI who kept the fight up longer.

Kudo questioned Kawasawa on the weird behavior, the mysteriousness of it all and Kawasawa kept referencing his parents in every answers. Line of the night: “So why do you wear a mask?” Kudo asked, and Kawasawa responded “I wear a mask because I am hiding my identity because of my parents.” Finally, Kudo gives in and asks about Kawasawa’s parents but as Kawasawa was about to answer, we cut back to the live show where Haruki Kudo promises the rest of the interview will air next week!

Total Wrestling, Supreme TV, Title Bout, Lucha Libre, American Wrestling, LuchaResu, Attittude! etc. Not that everyone could see every show available, but there’s the Pirate Bay. When I say you need to go download this show, just for this match, I mean it. Or sign up for some kind of trial to get this on your TV. And pray, one day, GCG gets on American television. This was one of the best matches you could see on free TV this week. Heck, this was better than anything CGC put on their Elimination PPV and better than everything the Burning Hammer put on Burning Path I. It was just good.

The other angle in this match, that the announce team discussed, is the fact that this matchup is between two youngsters that very well could main event for the World championship at a future Golden Kingdom and that fans need to remember where they were when Okamoto and Ishinomori first met.

As he walked into the dressing room, the masked Eagle Kawasawa is waiting. He bows as Koruba enters the room, whom Koruba ignores. Kawasawa quickly goes up to Koruba and begins to apologize profusely for what happened, dishonoring the family name and how he would never shame Father Koruba again. Koruba, finally realized Kawasawa is talking to him acknowledges the masked star, waving him away. Kawasawa bows, backing out of the room continually saying “I am sorry father” in Japanese. The announce crew doesn’t know quite what to make of this as Haruki Kudo comments that Kawasawa needs to stop bringing shame to his family, but more importantly to stop bringing shame to the Golden Canvas.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="UlRziAM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/UlRziAM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="t6EiwYU.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/t6EiwYU.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="zwN42l9.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/zwN42l9.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="b5oebt6.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/b5oebt6.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="5utfNBP.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/5utfNBP.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:18px;">Hyobanshi & Makuda vs. Takayuki 2000 & SUKI</span></div></div></div></div></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><span style="font-size:18px;"> </span></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;">An early contender for GCG match of the year saw the established team, Hyobanshi & Makuda, take the rivals Takayuki & SUKI on in tag action. Whether or not the rivals would be able to beat the former tag champions was to be seen as the duo have only recently began teaming again. There was a real disparity between the three main eventers and Makuda. Takayuki, SUKI and Hyobanshi light it up when in the ring and Makuda, while not horrible, slows it down noticeably forcing SUKI and Takayuki to slow their own game down. It doesn’t take too much away from the show, especially since Hyobanshi is one of the best in GCG right now. </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>This is even more highlighted when he plants Takayuki 2000 with the Nova Bomb Redux for the win.</strong></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Rating - ✯✯✯✯</strong></div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="6AkiPD0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/6AkiPD0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="WDoXCjX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/WDoXCjX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="DqifUqR.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/DqifUqR.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div><p></p><p></p><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> We get another video of a press conference promoting </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Parade of Champions,</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> this time it is to promote the World Championship match - </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Hiroyasu Gakusha and Taasuku Iesada.</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> Both men are cordial with each other, there isn’t much trash talking between the two, but rather a promotion of both men’s careers up to this point and how historic of a match this is between Gakusha and Iesada, never before seen.

DAVEFAN95 Posted October 16, 2017 Share Posted October 16, 2017 <p>Not exactly a huge fan of the Japanese scene in the C-Verse (although I have dabbled in BHOTWG and WLW) but this is a very entertaining read and have found myself coming back to it time and time again to read shows. I feel the presentation is beautiful and is just as good as the writing. Guess I'll predict even if I have very little knowledge of GCG. </p><p> </p><p> GCG WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP</p><p> <strong>World Champion, Hiroyasu Gakusha</strong> vs. Challenger, Tasuku Iesada</p><p> <em>Gakusha is your ace and Iesada is a freelancer, unless you have a plan and Iesada drops the belt to someone else, Gakusha should win this.</em></p><p> GCG WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS</p><p> World Tag Champions, <strong>Miyazaki & Furusawa</strong> vs. Challengers, Destruction, Inc.</p><p> <em>Oh man, so tough this one.

HiPlus Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 <p>So like Dave I haven't really dabbled in the Japanese region much, but I have enjoyed the read. Actually just read it all now.</p><p> </p><p> GCG WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP</p><p> World Champion, Hiroyasu Gakusha<strong> vs. Challenger, Tasuku Iesada</strong></p><p> </p><p> Just backing the champion in this case. </p><p> </p><p> GCG WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS</p><p> World Tag Champions, Miyazaki & Furusawa vs. Challengers, Destruction, Inc.</p><p> </p><p> I think this is the title swap on the card. Destruction Inc have been good and this is a way to set up a strong stable. </p><p> </p><p> GCG OPENWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP</p><p> <strong>Openweight Champion, Barry Kingman</strong> vs. Challenger, Azumamaro Shimizu</p><p> </p><p> Picking the Champion. </p><p> </p><p> SINGLES REMATCH</p><p> <strong>Razan Okamoto</strong> vs. Sozen Ishinomori</p><p> </p><p> Not really sure who to pick so just taking a punt here. </p><p> </p><p> SINGLES CONTEST</p><p> <strong>Eagle Kawasawa </strong>vs. Harumi Okazawaya</p><p> </p><p> Actually can see Eagle losing this by way of DQ but honestly he is set for a decent push now. </p><p> </p><p> TAG TEAM EXHIBITION</p><p> Merle O'Curle & Dean Daniels vs. <strong>SHAME</strong> </p><p> </p><p> SHAME to continue to produce and work together. </p><p> </p><p> WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP #1 CONTENDER'S MATCH</p><p> <strong>Takayuki 2000</strong> vs. SUKI vs. Toshiharu Hyobanshi</p><p> </p><p> Got to be honest a part of me is picking him just purely because his character looks like Okada. Other than that I just think it's too early for SUKI and could also cause some divide between the two if he picks up a win. </p><p> </p><p> TIEBREAKER 1: Match of the Night?</p><p> TIEBREAKER 2: Performer of the Night?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The opening match kicks off the show on a high note as the tag champs defend their belts against (Samoan) Destruction, Inc. </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Massacare on the outside with Munenori Umari and the big Samoan is somehow even more intimidating next to the tiny Umari who is outside barking orders at the tag

style="margin-left:25px;"> There has been quite a buildup into this match over the past month and the debut of Munenori Umari, a new facet in GCG (the first manager in the promotion’s nearly 60 year history) has added quite a bit to this match’s anticipation. The hard hitting action kicks off but soon, the tag champs get an advantage and do what they do best — stretch out their opponents. </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Furusawa really works over Samoan Machine and Rhino Umaga, and it’s clear he’s the star of this match as he usually tends to be</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> not that the other three men are any further behind. Haruki Kudo comments that the grappling moves of the tag champs do more than just try and submit the challengers, it also removes some of that Samoan power. </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>You know what grappling doesn’t do? It doesn’t weaken that legendary Samoan Skull and to turn the match around, all it takes is a Rhino Umaga headbutt to Shingen Miyazaki and suddenly the tides turn.</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> No longer is it this clinic on grappling, but it becomes a Samoan beat down, like a swat team raiding a crackhouse.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>With the advantage, Destruction, Inc. really begins to make this match much more of a brawl and in the stiff punches and quick tags, they succeed in cutting the ring in half forcing Furusawa to essentially fight a handicap match.</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> This is where the Samoans have been dominant in the past and where a lot of their wins have come from, in this quick paced beatdown. But Furusawa has seen this before (their last match in July of last year in fact saw the exact same scenario occur) and much like last year, it was a mistimed running splash into the corner from Rhino Umaga which Furusawa was able to roll through and get the hot tag to partner Miyazaki.

The announcers promote Shimizu, the last Golden Dojo graduate (3 years ago) and remark how big of a match this is for the youngster, his first championship title shot. However, it isn’t an easy one as the wily veteran Kingman is truly at the peak of his game right now and while 41 might be the time most fighters are thinking retirement, Kingman is functioning on a different level as the Openweight belt has elevated his game. It’s even seen tonight as he and Shimizu put on a decent match, something really to bring us down from the excitement of the tag match and to give the announcers a backdrop to discuss the legality of Jimmy Cox being at ringside.

Only one man has held the belt more time than Gakusha (Yoshifusu Maeda) and only two men have held it longer (Maeda & Sadaharu Jimbo). For the Golden Canvas fan, and even the puroresu fan, whether you dislike the Modern Japan movement or not, or whether you dislike Golden Canvas’ direction or not; </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>this was a modern dream booking match up featuring two of the bigger stars of the past decade who haven’t fought each other.</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> For Iesada, this journey into Golden Canvas is going to feature matches like this and if he wins the belt tonight, it’ll be main events for his time here. For Gakusha, this is a way to prove he isn’t just a Golden Canvas in a downward spiral prop star but an actual star in terms of the Puro world. To capture how big this is in American terms: imagine if Angry Gilmore jumped to USPW a few years ago and fought Nicky Champion. Instant credibility to USPW for putting a dream match up, and instant credibility to Champion. Of course a similar situation was allowed to happen thanks to Black Wednesday, but that’s another story. While this match is happening a few years too late as Iesada is definitely past his prime, it’s still a great match. With no distractions (thanks to the little angle with Cox being removed) and a clear #1 contender to face next, both men looked ready to go the distance and they did. Iesada began to perform like he hadn’t in years, having one of his best matches in a long time as he seemed motivated (not trading wins with Black Magic in a company that is pushing you down the card will do that). The two men actually made this a much more slower, technical match than the usual GCG fare of a tough brawl as the two spent most of the match chain wrestling, attempting to one up each other with different moves. </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Iesada, from his time with INSPIRE, became known as “Dangerous” due to the variety of submission moves he could lock in and when he got Gakusha down on the mat, he would flawlessly switch from one move to another, attempting to force Gakusha to tap out.</strong></div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> To see a man go from a single legged boston crab, to an STF, to a half nelson chicken wing combination is a sight to see and Iesada does it without a pause in between. For Gakusha, this meant finding not just ways to break holds, but ways to predict where Iesada would go next to counter the hold and while he wasn’t going hold to hold, the strength and size advantage he held led to Gakusha being able to outpower Iesada at times, whether it was turning Iesada’s arm bar into a powerbomb or simply outpowering a hammerlock, both men played their respective roles well. </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Iesada actually looked to win it with the Iesada Special, an amazing cross arm breaker that Iesada manages to connect from any point and any way as Iesada attempted to counter Gakusha’s Lariat attempt into the Iesada Special.

Bali So'oialo is one of the hold outs from INSPIRE who didn't jump to Burning Hammer. Whether the Machine will be joining the INSPIRE stable (perhaps replacing Tasuku Iesada who is to be leaving Burning Hammer soon?) or not is yet to be seen, but it does look like he is targeting World Champion Tadiyuki Kikkawa from his tweet. Where this leaves Rhino Umaga, Massacre and the Destruction, Inc. stable is yet to be seen, especially since there was a new hire in Munenori Umari as the manager of the stable. The other speculation has to do with last night's results: according to one source close to Tommy London, the conference call Tuesday night (the night before the show began) had London pushing for Destruction, Inc. to go over the tag champions but Wednesday's show was met with sad news when Destruction, Inc. met with Haruki Kudo and agent Hito Ichihara before the show and Samoan Machine revealed he signed a Burning Hammer contract and Burning Hammer agreed to let Bali work shows on Wednesday and Friday but would expect him to begin working the following week, meaning if the original decision was to stand that the titles would either be vacant or hot shot between two teams. The decision was changed Wednesday before the match to have the tag champions retain.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> In other news, the post show press conference had Haruki Kudo reveal that the first ever Modern Japan Young Lion's Cup would be held, beginning in March.

Hyobanshi won the championship shot Wednesday, and while he and Gakusha have met in the past and traded wins— his shot earlier this year was a losing effort and for Hyobanshi that can’t invoke much confidence into his shot at GCG Justice next month. For Gakusha, not only is he preparing for Hyobanshi, he also has the other 4 men in the match who are looking to one up him and for Hyobanshi, the pressure of the win falls on him. Win the match and Hyobanshi doesn’t have another contender, someone else wins it brings questions to whether The Ace is still The Ace. For SUKI and Takayuki, it’s the same. They have the perennial rivalry - the next big star in Golden Canvas is one of them and while one of them have both won the world belt before, they want it again and the other is in the way. For Makuda and Kuroki, it’s also a similar story: they have partners who have moved on to bigger things. For Kuroki, he’s winless in 2016 and on the wrong side of 35 in 2016 so he needs to turn his fortunes around soon, and quick, and pinning the #1 contender or any of his partners would certianly boost his stock. For Makuda, who has won matches while on Hyobanshi’s side, he’s seen a bit of bad luck since losing the Openweight belt (and losing when on the side of Gakusha back in January.) With all those storylines summarized this was a great match which saw all 6 men get equal time and equal moments of superiority in the match. None of the rivals got proper ring time with each other, of course, but that would be saved for the bigger shows. Instead, we saw SUKI and Makuda both give previews of what matches with Gakusha would look like, and Hyobanshi excited fans against Takayuki and Kuroki with the idea of a Hyobanshi title shot. It was in this latter exchange, specifically </div></div></div></div><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Hyobanshi and Kuroki, that saw the ending when Kuroki was tagged in by Gakusha and Makuda tagged in Hyobanshi.

Briskout Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 Working on a new format. If you don’t like it, let me know and I will get rid of it for the next show. <span style="background:GOLD">Stars of the Golden Canvas</span> Episode 6, February 2016 <fieldset span style="background:GOLDENROD"> GCG World Tag Team Championship Match THE CHALLENGERS, SHAME {Danjuro Kikuchi & Shotaro Ikina} vs. REIGNING, DEFENDING, UNDISPUTED GCG TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, Shingen Miyazaki & Mabuchi Furusawa The announce team explains how well SHAME has been doing in recent weeks, earning themselves a tag team title shot this week. For Ikina, this could be a record 7th tag championship with a 3rd partner, an unprecedented feat in puroresu. Unfortunately for Shotaro Ikina tonight wasn’t his night to create more history in his storied career as Miyazaki and Furusawa were just on top of their game and between the 50 year old being cut off and the quick tags on the younger Kikuchi, there was no shot as the tag champs made quick work — the Furusawa Armbar did the trick (Fujiawara Armbar) on the youngster Danjuri Kikuchi who tapped out quickly. Good match for it was worth, but SHAME isn’t quite at the level of Miyazaki and Furusawa yet. Rating - ✯✯✯</fieldset /span> <fieldset span style="background:Indianred"> Azumamaro Shimizu, Razan Okamoto and Burning Fury {Mashashi Urogataya & Lion Genji} vs. Barry Kingman, Sozen Ishinomori and Dean Daniels & Merle O’Curle This is a cluster of a match to showcase the Openweight division, with the idea any of the 8 men could actually be the champ (with Kingman of course being the actual champion). Whether this means Daniels & O’Curle will be moving to singles competition or not is to be seen, but it’s clear who the bottom of the tag division is: the newly formed Burning Fury and Daniels & O’Curle. With that said, this is not given enough time to really develop anything or even further any angles as the eight men just exchange shots, popping in out and it’s Merle O’Curle who is low man on the totem pole and eats the pin after Rozan Okamoto hit the Brainbuster Suplex. Rating - ✯✯½ </fieldset /span> Backstage, we get a shot from earlier tonight when Jimmy Cox and Eagle Kawasawa are arriving to the arena. Kawasawa has two sets of bags and is trailing Jimmy Cox, who is decked out in his now trademark American flag shirt. Kawasawa is trying to keep up with the American, who keeps muttering otosan which is Japanese for father, but every time he says it Cox, in English, tells Kawasawa to speak English in which Kawasawa begins to apologize for “disappointing daddy” (which he says in broken English). As the two get to their new shared locker room, Tanyu Toshusai is seen standing outside of the locker room. Before the new duo can say anything, Toshusai informs them that the Championship Committee is allowing Toshusai to take on both jokers in a tag match at Justice. Cox and Kawasawa laugh as Cox looks at Toshusai and comments that no one would challenge The American King, Jimmy Cox, in the ring with such a weak ally. Kawasawa chimes in broken English saying “go get prostitute for partner,” as he and Cox laugh before entering their locker room. Toshusai simply smirks, as the announce team speculates what it could mean. <fieldset span style="background:darkseagreen"> Eagle Kawasawa and Jimmy Cox vs. Tasuku Iesada and Yasuhide Tayama Iesada was reported to sign a three month contract. So far he’s fought Cox and Gakusha (both potential dream type matches) and rumor had it he was going to challenge for the tag titles with Tayama, however after this match I doubt the two will be teaming ever again. They just dragged the match with many missed cues. Management will probably pin this on Tayama despite Iesada’s short length with the company. With all that out there, this match was still quite interesting. Kawasawa and Cox make a fine team and if Cox is looking to wind down his career, a tag team with Kawasawa to end it would be quite interesting — especially since both are playing manic roles right now. Perfect fit. With Cox barking orders at Kawasawa, the masked maniac looked more focus and even with his delays looking to Cox for approval, the American was able to command and control Kawasawa to perform the right moves at the right time. Despite this, it was Cox who actually closed out the match. A few weeks ago Iesada knocked out Cox and went for a similar maneuver on Cox again this week, but Cox timed it and was able to counter it with a kick to the gut which led to the Immortal Driver and the pinfall for the maniacs. Rating - ✯✯✯ </fieldset /span> The announce team hypes up the next match: a big six man match featuring the World Champion, SUKI and Kuroki taking on Okazawaya, Makuda and Takayuki 2000. The crowd cheers the shot of Hiroyasu Gakusha walking with the GCG World Championship around his waist when Gakusha is ambushed from behind! The cameraman stumbled backwards, and gets a bad view of Gakusha going flying into equipment backstage. Medics and officials are quickly on the scene as the cameraman stands, panning to the man standing menacingly. Head of the championship committee Hito Ichihara is out and begins to bark at the giant to get out of his arena before legal action is taken. Toshiharu Hyobanshi is on the scene as well and runs by the giant before coming to Gakusha’s side. He promises Gakusha to win in his place tonight and if injured, to get revenge on the men responsible. The camera takes another shot of the giant as he walks out of the arena… <fieldset span style="background:lightsteelblue"> Toshiharu Hyobanshi, Kiminobu Kuroki & SUKI vs. Takayuki 2000, Harumi Okazawaya & Namboku Makuda The old bait and switch is an interesting move as it puts Hyobanshi in the role as ace, at least for this match. Unlike some of the other matches, which were too packed in to see proper action, this match is given 25 minutes and it’s almost a rehash of last week’s affair, except Kuroki and Makuda are on opposite teams with Okazawaya in the Gakusha role. With that said, this is less about the teams and more about Hyobanshi, as the announce team promotes the good nature of the challenger to step in on his night off. Kudo calls Hyobanshi a fighting challenger and a move like this will make him more loved by the fans if he is to win the championship at Justice. Hyobanshi takes the fight to all three men individually as well, including his partner Makuda, which creates some tension between the two. Takayuki on the other hand looked completely unmotivated and probably spent the least amount of time in the ring. This lack of motivation seems to spread to his team, and Okazawaya is the one to eat the fall after Hyobanshi connects with a Nova Bomb Redux.

Briskout Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 TAG DIVISION EXPANDING. GCG sign 3 tag teams, emptying Black Canvas's ranks. In a cut throat move and a blow to Black Canvas, Golden Canvas caused an exodus of six men from Black Canvas on March 1. The three teams include Black Canvas’ tag team champions, Team Taku (with father and son Toshinobu and Yoshinaka Taku), Noritoshi Miura and Inejiro Yoshizawa and American Demolition (Bulldozer Brandon Smith, who’s contract was over with Black Canvas, and Findlay O’Farraday). All three teams are set to debut over the next few weeks. With the Golden Canvas tag ranks looking a bit thin over the past few months, especially with Hyobanshi being tapped for the World title shot and both his team and Gakusha’s team being excluded from the tag team rankings this month, Golden Canvas felt it had to sign new teams. While there were promising teams formed in both Burning Fury, which debuted last week, and SHAME which had a championship shot this week, the newly formed teams could not compare. And while Samoan Machine has left the company, Destruction, Inc. is still oddly listed as a contender. Whether this means Rhino Umaga will begin to team with Massacare is yet to be seen when he returns from his brief hiatus from the company (in which he is working dates with other Modern Japan companies, in order that GCG could put together the Young Lion’s Cup. Speaking of the Young Lion’s Cup, the confirmed participants are announced as the first matches will take place at this week’s TV tapings. In Group A, Azumamaro Shimizu (GCG), Isoruko Arakaki (SAISHO), Bakin Sakamoto (WLW) and Midnight Tiger all round out the first group. Group B is headlined by Danjuro Kikuchi (GCG), Kimi Kjawano (WEXXV), Sir Winston Watoga (WLW) and Kali Hanari (EX2010). CONFIRMED CARD FOR GCG JUSTICE.

Briskout Posted October 21, 2017 Author Share Posted October 21, 2017 <p>[so I hate to double post news articles, but this literally just happened and I felt it worthy to share immediately.

The first one to report is the walk out of Yasuhide Tayama. While not immediately reported, apparently this week's Stars of the Golden Canvas is going to be Tayama's last appearance with the company (if he even appears) as he informed GCG he would be leaving. Unlike Samoan Machine or Greg Gauge, Tayama does not have another contract set and unlike Machine or Gauge, it seems to be a permanent move as opposed to Machine (door open) and Gauge (on tour in PGHW). It is said that Tayama was frustrated with his current direction in GCG despite some wins alongside the #1 contender Hyobanshi. Tayama might end up in WEXXV and be their new ace, who's current ace, Munemitsu Senmastu, may be leaving the promotion soon according to some reports.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> The other roster news has to do with Rhino Umaga. Last night at WLW LuchaResu, Rhino Umaga tore a quad muscle during a match with Necromancer. This was part of trades with fellow Modern Japan promotions in order to organize the Young Lion's Cup, an idea Haruki Kudo was completely against. While injuries happen, to miss a whole year of action may be detrimental to Umaga's value going forward in GCG, especially since partner Samoan Machine jumped shipped to Burning Hammer. Where this leaves the rudderless Destruction, Inc who has lost all momentum since Parade of Champions is yet to be seen although Massacre has been on tv since Parade of Champions and is scheduled for tv tapings this week, it's going to be interesting to see what happens going forward, especially due to the hiring of Munenori Umari.</div></div></div></div><p><span style="font-family:'Century

Briskout Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 <span style="background:GOLD">Stars of the Golden Canvas</span> Episode 7, March 2016 <fieldset span style="background:darkseagreen"> Eagle Kawasawa & Jimmy Cox vs. SHAME {Danjuro Kikuchi & Shotaro Ikina} The announce crew hype up the match at GCG Justice: Kawasawa & Cox taking on Tanyu Toshusai and a partner of Toshusai’s choosing. The announce team speculates who it could be as the match goes on. After SHAME’s seemingly random title shot last week, it looks like it’s back to job duty for SHAME (at least this week as Danjuro Kikuchi is the favorite to win the Young Lion’s Cup). Kawasawa continued his following of Cox as well, including connecting with an Immortal Driver on Shotaro Ikina for the win after Cox commanded him not to bother with a silly move like the Vision Quest, but an American move like the Immortal Driver. Rating - ✯✯½ </fieldset /span> The announce team goes over the tag team four corners to take place at GCG Justice to determine a new number one contender which will see the debuts of Team Taku, American Demolition (Big Bruiser Findlay & Bulldozer Brandon Smith), Miura & Yoshizawa and a fourth team to be determined next week! Kudo calls it a high honor to see such amazing teams compete for the tag titles and also promises that isn’t the only high quality tag team action as GCG Justice will also see the GCG debut of one of the greatest tag teams in history: the ten time tag team champions: The McWade Brothers who will take on Miyazaki & Furusawa for the belts! <fieldset span style="background:lightsalmon"> YOUNG LION'S CUP: Group A Match Azunamaro Shimizu vs. Isoruko Arakaki Having a young lion’s cup is a good idea. It definitely is one of those ideas that can help Modern Japan as well as it promotes its youngest talent while not forcing any veterans to lose. However, those young lions need to be talented. Not that Shimizu and Arakaki aren’t talented, but they are both the white bread of their respective promotions and together they are a cheese and mayonnaise sandwich: there is nothing exciting here, there is nothing to write home and nothing makes me want to keep watching this group. The only exciting part was seeing Shimizu actually get his first win by debuting the Figure Four Necklock for the first time in his career. Rating - ✯½ </fieldset /span> <fieldset span style="background:Indianred"> Daniels & O’Curle vs. Massacre w/Munenori Umari This was originally supposed to be Daniels & O’Curle against the new Destruction, Inc. (with Massacre teaming with Rhino Umaga) but Umaga tore his quad at a WLW show leaving this to be a handicap match. Rather than sub someone in, they turned this into a squash match in which Massacre massacres Daniels & O’Curle, connecting with the Black Descent on first O’Curle then Daniels, pinning both for the win. Rating - ✯✯½ </fieldset /span> <fieldset span style="background:Lightsteelblue"> Razan Okamoto & SUKI vs. Sozen Ishinomori & Takayuki 2000 There’s a lot of different ways this match could have gone as all four men have traded wins over the past two months. SUKI and Takayuki both have a #1 contendership match at Justice for the World title while Okamoto & Ishinomori will be fighting a rubber match at Justice, so this becomes a preview of sorts and while Ishinomori isn’t quite at the same level as the other 3 men, he’s improved tremendously in this program in Okamoto as both men have elevated each other’s games and working with the Openweight division as well as SUKI and Takayuki 2000. This isn’t just the story of Okamoto and Ishinomori improving as much as it is the story of the elder rivals are the eternal struggle between these two principles which have seemingly stood face-to-face since the beginning of time and that was the finish as a hard hitting, methodical match up ended when Takayuki and SUKI began to chain wrestle and one mistake by the younger SUKI allowed Takayuki to take him down to the mat, permanently, locking in the Persian Deathlock. With nowhere to go, SUKI tapped out much to the chagrin of his partner Okamoto. Rating - ✯✯✯½ </fieldset /span> We get a cut scene backstage of the World Champion and his challenger at Justice taking photographs for a local newspaper. Both men are in their wrestling attire, standing in front of a steel garage door as the two men pose in stoic poses, with the World Championship belt on a table between them. There is friendly trash talking, nothing to harmful or hurtful, but just friendly rivalry type stuff. Kudo promotes that the world champion is in non-title action next against Tasuku Iesada, his opponent from Parade of Champions when the giant man from last week ambushes the World Champion again! A huge big boot sends Gakusha into Hyobanshi, taking out both men. The giant doesn’t seem concerned with Hyobanshi as he grabs the world championship belt and tosses it aside, as the Japanese press gasp at the disrespect of the 57 year old championship belt. The giant grabs Gakusha and lifts him up, choke slamming him through the table. Photos are taken quickly of the incident as Hyobanshi recovers, but it’s too late as the giant flees from the scene. One picture will be iconic of this attack, of the giant man staring over the World champion… <fieldset span style="background:Navajowhite"> Tasuku Iesada vs. Toshiharu Hyobanshi After the commercial break, the announce team explains that once again Toshiharu Hyobanshi had to step in — which is great because it gives another dream match between Iesada and Hyobanshi! Now I know I said Iesada’s match at Parade of Champions was one of his best matches in a long time: this match IS Iesada’s best match since his days in INSPIRE. Perhaps it was because Hyobanshi is primarily a brawler that it allows Iesada to worry more about the grappling aspect of the match, perhaps it’s because Hyobanshi is on a hot streak as of late but something worked here between both men and while it was “impromptu,” more impromptu matches between these two are needed: at least one more before Iesada departs. With that said, the storyline behind this match is that Hyobanshi is ready to step in when Gakusha cannot step up, as Kudo put it. While the attacks have been heinous by the giant man, who’s name still hasn’t been revealed (it’s Gargantuan from CGC for those wondering), Hyobanshi has been able to prove . Perhaps it’s because the company is testing Hyobanshi signaling a title change, perhaps it’s to keep things fresh for Gakusha when others challenge for the belt, but this angle with Gargantuan beating up Gakusha and Hyobanshi stepping up is just good, simple television. Unfortunately for Iesada that means, even in an impromptu match, he was not about to go over and despite the excellent submission moves, it plays out a lot like Parade of Champions as Iesada goes for Iesada Special and Hyobanshi, like Gakusha, reverses it into his own finishing move: The Nova Bomb Redux in the center of the ring for the win.

BHK1978 Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 How did you manage to get them a television show so quickly? Whenever I try to do so nobody is willing to talk to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
