7.

JUNIOR STAR CUP ROUND 2 MATCH:

In a decent match,

Dynamite Kid def. Kantaro Hoshino

in 16:23 by pinfall with Diving Dynamite.

(71)

(Kazuo Yamazaki was at ringside and seemed very displeased with the outcome, having to be held back from fighting Davey Boy Smith who he was arguing with while Davey was in Dynamite’s corner)

Ishin Gundan (Kuniaki Kobayashi & Isamu Teranishi) def. Tiger Mask and Gran Hamada

in 16:40 when

Isamu Teranishi def. Gran Hamada

by pinfall.

(80)

(El Solitario couldn’t make it to the show because of flight issues so Kuniaki became Isamu’s partner instead of Black Tiger. Isamu & Kuniaki targeted the previously injured leg of Tiger Mask and exploited it terribly leading him to be down on the outside after a dropkick to the knee sent him off the apron. One has to wonder if his knee injury will cost him in the Junior Star Cup.)

World Pro Wrestling

Lizuka Car Race Place (4,843)

 

15 Minute Time Limit

Dean Malenko, Ryuma Go, & Les Thorton vs. Black Cat, Fuerza Gerrera, & Blue Panther

 

These teams try to keep momentum on their side heading towards the end of the Junior Star Cup. Though none of them won consistent wins can keep you in the championship picture. Malenko, Go, & Thorton have grown into a formidable trio since the start of the New Year, but have yet to hit a stride in the win column bouncing from winning to losing weekly. Black Cat, Fuerza Guerrera, & Blue Panther are all connected by Black Tiger and their friendship with him and their team has the plus of all coming from Mexico so there are no cultural or lingual barriers. The skill of Cat, Panther, & Guerrera as a team is outstanding considering they haven’t teamed long. They cut off Les Thorton from his partners and are able to pick him apart with Thorton not keeping up with the younger quicker offense they displayed.

 

 

In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat,

Black Cat, Fuerza Guerrera and Blue Panther def. Dean Malenko, Ryuma Go and Les Thornton

in 8:46 when

Black Cat def. Les Thornton

by pinfall with a Release German Suplex.

(69)

 

A Press Conference with all four members of the

Gadian Rikugun

(Hulk Hogan, Antonio Inoki, Tatsumi Fujinami, & Kengo Kimura)

present begins with Inoki at the helm. Inoki starts by addressing the speculation of Hogan’s status in the Rikugun (Army) to guard New Japan. Inoki says that Hogan is loyal to the Gadian Rikugun still and will continue to be a member. This recent outburst of defiance Inoki says was just off his disappointment of losing to Riki Choshu in the number one contender match to face Fujinami on night 18 of the New Year Golden Series. Inoki still sees Hogan as an important member of the Rikugun and though he lost still values him as a extremely talented competitor.

 

Hogan

is then motioned to the mic by Inoki and begins to speak. Meanwhile Fujinami seems a bit disenchanted by the whole press conference sitting down with his arms crossed. Hulk speaks on the disappointment of losing to Choshu and how he let down his Gadian Rikugun partners. “Brother, Riki Choshu got a good lick on me but you can’t kill superman brother. There is no kryptonite to keep me down, I am the superman of pro-wrestling and that is not an illusion.” At the end of his statement Hogan makes it certain that though he won’t be International Heavyweight Champion he will win the International Wrestling Grand Prix which he calls a whole ‘nother level.

 

After which Hogan sits down and Inoki goes back to the podium but is met with

Tatsumi Fujinami

standing at it as well. Fujinami then takes a turn to speak. Saying that Hogan is not a superman and doesn’t enjoy that Hogan seems to think he is so above everyone. He wonders why Inoki even could allow Hogan to remain in the Gadian Rikugun when he left them high and dry the last two nights at the New Year Golden Series. Adding that if Hogan won the International Wrestling Gran Prix that’ll be a real surprise because Hogan is on ‘a whole ‘nother level’, but not on Fujinami’s level. Hogan stands at the words he perceives as disrespectful and the two are held apart by Inoki and Kimura.

(73)

JUNIOR STAR CUP ROUND 2

15 Minute Time Limit

El Solitario vs. Kuniaki Kobayashi

w/Isamu Teranishi

 

This is a treat for World Pro Wrestling as we see El Solitario & Kobayashi battle to see who makes it to the semi-finals of the Junior Star Cup. This is the first battle to take place on World Pro Wrestling with a flighting error causing Solitario not being able to make it to the 15th New Year Golden Series show. This caused Kobayashi to team with Teranishi instead in what was supposed to be Teranishi & Black Tiger against Tiger Mask & Gran Hamada became the Ishin Gundan.

 

Onto the match, El Solitario once again makes it known that he is one of the best Junior Heavyweights in the world today early on getting the better of Kobayashi at every turn. Kobayashi would turn things around with swift sliding kick to the knee. Both wrestlers showed why New Japan is the showcase for Junior Heavyweight talent as they hit high flying, speedy, innovative maneuvers that kept the audience on the edge of their seat. As the match moves along there is a meeting of the eyes as Teranishi almost engages with Solitario but nothing came of it. But the momentary distraction almost caught Solitario who got his mask turned by Kobayashi as he entered the ring. Solitario would be attending to by the ref but Kobayashi stayed on the attack picking him up for a Brainbuster but Solitario blocked the attempt and small packaged Kobayashi only to get a two. He then promptly fixed his mask and hit La Filomena (Spin Kick) in quick succession to cause a pinfall.

 

In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, El Solitario def. Kuniaki Kobayashi in 13:24 by pinfall with a La Filomena. (72) (Following the match Teranishi hits Solitario from behind but before he could do any serious damage Solitario’s ring crew from Mexico ran in and took the beating as Solitario was scooted from ringside.)

 

Following

El Solitario’s

advancement in the Junior Star Cup a recap is shown of

New Year Golden Series Night 15

. What is shown is highlights of the last three matches of the night,

Dynamite Kid vs Kantaro Hoshino

and

Kazuo Yamazaki’s confrontation with Davey Boy, Tiger Mask & Gran Hamada losing to Isamu & Kuniaki when they focused on his leg, and Riki Choshu, Masa Saito, & Killer Khan def. Antonio Inoki, Kengo Kimura, & Tatsumi Fujinami.

The Big note being on the fact Masa Saito pinned Antonio Inoki in the first fall. We also get the announcement that next week on

World Pro Wrestling the Semi Final Matches of the Junior Star Cup will take place with the finals on the next night at the 18th Night of the New Year Golden Series

(65)

 

The

Masked Superstar

and his

‘Disciples of Pain’

(The Great Kabuki & Abdulah the Butcher)

are behind him as he is interviewed. He says that there are rough patches within the group still but he sees immense potential for them to be able to destroy any man in their way. The plans for their future are to show Japan that they shouldn’t fear monsters; the people of Japan should fear them because they're real-life monsters in the form of men.

 

30 Minute Time Limit

Ishin Gundan (Killer Khan & Animal Hamaguchi)

w/ Rusher Kimura & Shinichi Nakano

vs. The North-South Connection

w/ Jesse Ventura

 

The problems between the Ishin Gundan and The Connection have developed over the last month into rivalry that commands one team to accept defeat. But both groups continue to attempt to show they will never surrender no matter the pain dished out.

 

Khan and Dick have an intense back and forth with strikes when the match begins. Both don’t budge to the other and eventually reach a standstill in which both have been damaged but still standing tall in their respective corners. This match showed the fighting spirit of both teams, but The Connections did commence their usually under handed activities but the Ishin Gundan weren’t having it and Killer Khan ran in to attack Dick as he began raking the eyes of Animal Hamaguchi. Khan wore off Dick and Adonis and went back to his corner as Dick and Adrian were both now down. Animal tagged him in and Khan picked up Dick on his shoulder and hit a Powerbomb to pin the redneck.

 

In a bout that had great wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd,

Pro Wrestling this Week 8

Written By: Ric Race

Top Story:

 

-New Japan officials announce that at the NJPW 11th Anniversary Show they will announce the final two men in the inaugural International Wrestling Grand Prix. It has been confirmed that these last two spots will be taken by one performer from North America and one performer from Europe. Speculation has run rampant on who the last two performers will be. Names like Otto Wanz, David Von Erich, Dory Funk Jr, among others have been slated for the spots, so we’ll see who gets selected at the NJPW 11th Anniversary Show.

 

Title Changes:

 

PNW’s Wrestling Extravaganza saw two of their championships change hands. Mid-way through the show “Playboy” Budd Rose & Ed Wisokowski would defeat the Billy Joe Haynes & Stan “The Man” Stasiak for the NWA Pacific Northwest Tag Team Titles. This match had a good story behind it which it needed to make up for Stan’s lack of mobility seeing that he is 58 and on the verge of retirement. With that the match gets a rating to match Stasiak’s age at a

The next match saw

Sheik Abdulah Ali Hassan

defends his

NWA Pacific Northwest Heavyweight Title

against

Dean Ho

“The Hawaiian Mastermind”

. Sheik’s double title reign has put him at the fore front for all single stars in PNW. With that he has had to defend the TV title three times just this month. Experts wondered if fatigue would set in heading in to this match especially against someone as skilled as Ho. It didn’t seem to but that didn’t stop Ho from coming away victorious to an overjoyed ovation. This match was okay but the two 40 year olds didn’t do anything to write home about, it’s a solid

Rumor Mill:

 

-

All-Japan Women’s Pro-Wrestling (AJW)

are the center of a rumor that the reason

Jumbo Hori

has been pushed so heavily in the last two months winning the

Japan Grand Prix, WWWA World Ttile, and the WWWA World Tag Team Titles,

is via a friendship with the

Matsunaga

family who own AJW. This apparently has caused tension within the locker room and may lead to an exodus from the company of multiple female talents. This would be an interesting turn of events as AJW is the only Joshi

(women’s)

promotion in Japan so if there is an exodus would a new promotion be formed or would those who leave just go abroad.

Masked Superstar

and one of his Disciples of Pain

Great Kabuki

come to battle the Gaijin team of

Jim Neidhart

and

Blackjack Mulligan

. Mulligan and Neidhart have shown lackluster ability in this tour Mulligan having a few bright spots but not living up to his hype. This match was one of Mulligan’s last chance to show the New Japan faithful those bright spots. He did that indeed as he led his team through this match, and he had such a fighting spirit and would help Neidhart rally when he was down. The dastardly pain makers Kabuki and Superstar were too much for the young Neidhart and Masked Superstar would make him submit with a Sleeper Hold.

The Cobra vs. Black Tiger

The winner of this will go onto to the Finals tomorrow night against Dynamite Kid.

Black Tiger

is coming off a major win, thwarting his arch enemy

Tiger Mask

in round 2 who did have an injured leg going into the contest, but nonetheless was defeated.

The Cobra

has flown somewhat under the radar being the least accomplished of the final four having no title wins under his belt and the least amount of experience of all the final four as well. Black Tiger would maintain an advantage on The Cobra through the contest with the Cobra hitting very effective moves that damaged Black Tiger but the Tiger would recoup and regain control. Tiger had the match in the bag and attempted a Tiger Bomb to finish off Cobra as a knock to Tiger Mask. But Cobra reversed with a Hurricanrana, and then got to his feet picked up the dazed Black Tiger and hit a

Kneeling Reverse Piledriver (Tombstone)

on him and would pick up the victory.

Loving this diary my dude, this style is really nice. Been playing in a similar era as JCP and I've begun to use a tour schedule just because it looked really fun. Plus I guess its a good way of improving worker stats quicker.</p>

Though Bad News Allen did give Kido a tough fight, taking him down at many turns and actually hit Strong Kobayashi with an Enziguri almost picking up the win. Also during the match, Shin had a bit of a comedy skit with the young lion Hiro Saito who strives to be taken seriously and got aggravated at Shin’s attempt at comedy. Kido would pick up the victory by hitting the “Flying Elephant” Tamba with a Jumping Knee Strike. </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:Tahoma;"><strong><span style="color:#FF8C00;">(56)</span></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:Tahoma;"> </span></div></div></div></div></div><div></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44356" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div style="text-align:center;"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>30-Minute Time Limit</strong></div></div></div></div><p></p></div><p></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><img alt="gq88Vgq.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/gq88Vgq.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="D4egz4m.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/D4egz4m.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="9QOvPJs.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9QOvPJs.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="VlbRFDt.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/VlbRFDt.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="tsyTtkF.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/tsyTtkF.jpg?1" 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;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Yoshiaki Fujiwara & Nobuhiko Takada vs. Kantaro Hoshino & Kazuo Yamazaki</strong></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;"> </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;"> </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:Tahoma;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Back-Story:</span></strong></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:Tahoma;"> </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:Tahoma;"> This match pits Kazuo Yamazaki in an interesting spot he first started teaming with Kantaro Hoshino at the beginning of the year seemingly in a mentor protégé relationship. But now Fujiwara has attempted to teach the young Yamazaki the ropes after being impressed by Yamazaki during a 6-man tag on Night 9 of the New Year Golden Series. In the same match animosity between Hoshino & Fujiwara developed as both attempted to control their teams to the chagrin of the other. Since then Yamazaki has been on both sides teaming with both Hoshino & Fujiwara. </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:Tahoma;"> </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:Tahoma;"> </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:Tahoma;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Match:</span></strong></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:Tahoma;"> </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:Tahoma;"> Fujiwara outwrestles the charismatic Yamaha Boy Hoshino early on before tagging in Yamazaki. Too which Fujiwara tagged in Takada, from that the two Young Lions fought with both going for holds to neutralize the other. Yamazaki would counter most of Takada’s holds while Takada would always scramble to the ropes to get a break only countering a few of Yamazaki’s attempts. It was clear Yamazaki was superior and when Takada escaped a leg lock he tagged in Fujiwara. Yamazaki would come to square off against Fujiwara but he told Yamazaki to tag out to Hoshino to which he tried but Hoshino told him to fight Fujiwara. Unsure what to do Yamazaki tagged the hand of Hoshino to the shock and anger of Hoshino himself. Hoshino and Fujiwara would square off once more with Hoshino keeping the match on his side at first before a Fujiwara took him down into a Single Leg Crab. Hoshino escaped and would try to tag Yamazaki to which Fujiwara told him not to accept but Yamazaki did and so did Fujiwara. </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:Tahoma;"> </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:Tahoma;"> The two Young Lions once again squared off with Takada being more aggressive than the first time hitting a few dangerous looking elbows that the referee warned him about. But Takada’s aggression would lead to his defeat when he went into Yamazaki for a takedown but Yamazaki would reverse it into a Fujiwara Armbar that looked to please Fujiwara especially when Takada submitted to it. As Yamazaki & Hoshino are declared victorious Hoshino scolds Yamazaki for the occurrences in the match. Yamazaki seems to ignore and almost exits the ring but this leads Hoshino to the slap his protégé. Yamazaki has blank look after the slap and exits the ring with an anger radiating off him. </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:Tahoma;"><strong><span style="color:#2E8B57;">(72</span></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:Tahoma;"><strong>/</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:Tahoma;"><strong><span style="color:#FF8C00;">59)</span></strong></span></div></div></div></div></div><div></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44356" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div style="text-align:center;"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>30-Minute Time Limit</strong></div></div></div></div><p></p></div><p></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><img alt="HuYtUNu.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/HuYtUNu.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="S5qUydw.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/S5qUydw.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="ZPe3CsP.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ZPe3CsP.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="00wh3SW.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/00wh3SW.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="9QOvPJs.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9QOvPJs.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="R3kxFJe.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/R3kxFJe.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="kF64GxU.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kF64GxU.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="kSWoq4Y.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kSWoq4Y.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="qsQ3C84.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/qsQ3C84.jpg?1" 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;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Black Tiger, Black Cat, Blue Panther, & Fuerza Guerrera vs. Les Thorton, Dean Malenko, Ryuma Go, & Chavo Guerrero</strong></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;"> </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;"> </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:Tahoma;">Chavo Guerrero makes his surprise debut in NJPW after leaving AJPW earlier in February vacating the All-Asia Tag Belts. The audience in the newly built Osaka Castle Hall is aghast by his appearance. Guerrero makes his prescience felt early getting the better of Black Cat and Blue Panther. Black Tiger would begin to wear down Guerrero when he entered, but the newly signed Guerrero hung in there with Tiger. Malenko had his moment in the match locking a Surfboard Stretch on Black Cat that almost caused a submission win if Guerrera didn’t break it up. Thorton the veteran of his team tried to pin down Panther but the Luchador was too fast for him scoring a few high-risk maneuvers. Ryuma Go was able to keep up with the speed of Panther and with that was able to take him down and rough him up. In the closing moments, all the wrestlers were down after a Suicide Palancha by Panther on the outside and a Guerrero Palancha over the top rope. This left Black Tiger & Les Thorton in the ring, with Black Tiger hitting a Black Tiger Bomb on Thorton for the win.</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:Tahoma;"><strong><span style="color:#808000;"> (69)</span></strong></span></div></div></div></div></div><div></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44356" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div style="text-align:center;"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>30-Minute Time Limit</strong></div></div></div></div><p></p></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong> Two-out-of-Three Falls</strong></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;"> </div></div></div></div><img alt="WVnVa4n.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/WVnVa4n.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="nCRXLMJ.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/nCRXLMJ.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="9QOvPJs.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9QOvPJs.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="WAQQXCB.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/WAQQXCB.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="toQqvXQ.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/toQqvXQ.jpg?1" 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;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>The Connection (Adrian Adonis & Jesse Ventura) vs. Ishin Gundan (Animal Hamaguchi & Rusher Kimura)</strong></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;"> </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;"> </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:Tahoma;">These groups have been at each other for the past two months, now we will be deciding the better team and better men.

As Murdoch is recovering Khan begins to bite his forehead drawing a small cut and then exploiting it by hitting it with the chain. The Killer is looking quite disturbing with the blood pour down his face and whipping Dick’s butt all over the ring. Killer took pleasure in this pain and would get Dick in the corner and chop him in the chop with the chain. The crowd winced in pain seeing these shots as the pure brutality was not a usual to the New Japan faithful. Murdoch came back with an eye poke and would begin choking Khan with the chain almost putting him to sleep, leading to a pinfall attempt that almost got Dick the win. As the match wore on both men tore at each other with both bleeding from the forehead Dick Murdoch would hit the fatal blow after Low Blowing Khan he came off the middle rope with a chain wrapped fist to the head of Khan to get the win. </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:Tahoma;"><strong><span style="color:#808000;">(68)</span></strong></span></div></div></div></div></div><div></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44356" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div style="text-align:center;"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>60-Minute Time Limit</strong></div></div></div></div><p></p></div><p></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><img alt="k2hzsW2.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/k2hzsW2.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="avlWlPp.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/avlWlPp.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="9QOvPJs.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9QOvPJs.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="IQRHIce.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IQRHIce.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="BgbLxse.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BgbLxse.jpg?1" 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;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Ishin Gundan (Kuniaki Kobayashi & Yoshiaki Yatsu) vs. Gadian Rikugun (Kengo Kimura & Hulk Hogan)</strong></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;"> </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;"> </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:Tahoma;">Both groups continue their war with one another in this match-up. Hogan powers over Yatsu early on and actually ignores Kimura’s request for a tag to continue damage on Yatsu. The amateur skill of Yatsu would come through as he began taking down Hogan going after his legs with a heel lock. The “Super Gaijin” Hogan got out of his predicament and was able to scramble to Kimura. Kobayashi would come in also and the two quick competitors would commence a series of quick maneuvers. Kimura was bewildered with Hogan wanting the limelight for himself but that didn’t stop them from getting the win as Hogan got Yatsu in an over the shoulder backbreaker submission to do so. After the match, Hogan poses avoiding the referee's attempt to raise his hand to the confusion of Kimura. Kimura asks him about it but Hogan scoffs at the remarks and walks off with Kimura in toe. </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:Tahoma;"><strong><span style="color:#2E8B57;">(79)</span></strong></span></div></div></div></div></div><div></div></blockquote><p> </p><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"> </div></div><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44356" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div style="text-align:center;"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>60-Minute Time Limit</strong></div></div></div></div><p></p></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong> </strong></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="text-decoration:underline;">NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title Match</span></span></strong></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;"> </div></div></div></div><img alt="TGPPTKR.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/TGPPTKR.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;"> </div></div></div></div><img alt="gGbwmXq.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/gGbwmXq.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="9QOvPJs.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9QOvPJs.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="quybJan.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/quybJan.jpg?1" 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;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>©Tiger Mask vs. Brian Blair</strong></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;"> </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;"> </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:Tahoma;">Blair fought Tiger in Florida in February week 3 in a title match that saw Tiger Mask win via DQ when Brian Blair bumped into the ref a few times on accident.

Saito attempted to hit Inoki more before ring boys and Kengo Kimura ran out to separate him from Inoki and check on the New Japan President. </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:Tahoma;"><strong><span style="color:#00FF00;">(86)</span></strong></span></div></div></div></div></div><div></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="44356" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div style="text-align:center;"><div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>60 Minute Time Limit</strong></div></div></div></div><p></p></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong> </strong></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><span style="font-size:12px;"><span style="color:#FF8C00;">Junior Star Cup Finals</span></span></span></strong></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;"> </div></div></div></div><img alt="kh4863v.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/kh4863v.jpg?1" 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;"> </div></div></div></div><img alt="gUhFXDw.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/gUhFXDw.jpg?1" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="9QOvPJs.png" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/9QOvPJs.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="bIoG7e2.jpg?1" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bIoG7e2.jpg?1" 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;"> </div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>Dynamite Kid </strong></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong><span style="font-size:8px;">w/Davey Boy Smith </span></strong></div></div></div></div><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><strong>vs. The Cobra</strong></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;"> </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;"> </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:Tahoma;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Back-story:</span></strong></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:Tahoma;"> </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:Tahoma;"> The inaugural Junior Star Cup saw many great Juniors square off in a quest to see who is the best.

Dynamite continues his assault and attempts to slam him but Cobra escapes behind him and hits a Spinning Heal Kick knocking Dynamite through the ropes to the floor. Cobra then goes against the ropes does a few acrobatic cartwheels and back flips before Moonsault over the top rope onto Dynamite. Both are down on the outside for a few seconds before Cobra begins to stir and Dynamite is getting rallied by Davey Boy who’s on the opposite side of the railing cheering on his partner. Cobra gets up and climbs to the top rope as Dynamite makes it to his feet. Cobra jumps for a cross body block but Dynamite moves and Cobra crashes on the floor. When Dynamite reenters the ring he picks up Cobra but is met with a headbutt to the gut that rocks his stomach. Cobra gets to his feet and attempts the kneeling reverse piledriver that he delievered to Black Tiger to get to the finals but Dynamite uses all his weight to fight it off and turn it into a kneeling reverse piledriver of his own. He covers Cobra.</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

The two fought in November 1982 which ended in a double count out but also to a Riki Choshu assault on Fujinami after the match. The two have been at each other’s throats since involving each other in tags teaming with members of the respective groups the Ishin Gundan & Gadian Rikugun. Choshu had made Fujinami submit early in Februrary in one of these matches and defeated Fujinami’s teammate apart of Gadian Rikugun, Hulk Hogan to receive this match with Fujinami. Fujinami had been adamant that Choshu needed to Kasegu (Earn It) the opportunity to face him for the WWF International Heavyweight Championship. Fujinami first dismissed Choshu back in 1982 in their first contest but his dismissal could’ve led to his lack of victory.</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:Tahoma;"> </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:Tahoma;"> </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:Tahoma;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Match:</span></strong></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:Tahoma;"> </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:Tahoma;"> As Fujinami v. Choshu II begins Choshu comes out of the gun with a running Riki Lariat knocking Fujinami into the corner and pummeling the champion. Fujinami sees an opening though and swipes Choshu’s leg and hitting a Dragon Screw early on before locking in a leg lock. Choshu scrambles to the ropes and gets the break. Both get to their feet with Fujinami jumping up feeling energized, grabs Choshu and just tosses him out of the ring. He swipes his hands together as if he just took care of business; he then goes to follow Choshu jumping off the apron hitting Choshu with a Diving Axe Handle. After getting him back in the ring Fujinami would continue beating on Choshu with a solid ground game. Choshu would try to piece together attempts to escape Fujinami’s clutches which took sometime but eventually get out of a hammerlock and hit Fujinami with a High Angle Back Suplex. He covers Fujinami.</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:Tahoma;"> But gets a near fall, Choshu then would slowly pick apart Fujinami’s leg and back with offense before hit a snap suplex and locking in a single leg crab almost submitting Fujinami. Fujinami almost escaped the hold but Choshu would change his position and locked in an STF instead. Quickly hitting the ropes Fujinami was able to escape. Choshu would try to take down Fujinami to keep the match in his favor but Fujinami got out of the takedown attempt kicking off the Revolutionary Warrior. Fujinami regained his base and quickly hit a flurry of strikes before slamming Choshu on the mat climbing the middle rope and hitting a Front Dropkick. The champion is holding his back following the dropkick feeling the effects of Choshu’s assault, but doesn’t give in to the pain.</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:Tahoma;"> </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:Tahoma;"> Fujinami wants to challenge Choshu’s pride and attempts to add insult to injury to show he doesn’t see Choshu on his level and locks in the Young Lion signature Boston Crab. The challenger gets a fury from not being taken serious and gets out of the crab pushing off Fujinami so hard he smacks into the corner. After hitting the corner Fujinami gets a Knee to the gut via Choshu and HE is now thrown from the ring and Choshu follows quickly desperate to stay in control. The Dragon is rattled and is hit with a slam by Choshu on the concrete. But the Warrior isn’t looking for a count out he wants to show he deserves respect he needs to beat Fujinami in the ring to do that. Choshu throws a damaged Fujinami back in the ring and hits a Riki Lariat and covers the champion.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div

Kick Out by Choshu. Fujinami stays on Choshu and tries to lock in a Dragon Sleeper but Choshu keeps avoiding it by keeping space between him and Fujinami. The two begin trading blows back and forth from chops to forearms to overhead strikes to kicks and so on. The pace of the strikes increase in speed and intensity until Fujinami brings Choshu down with an Armbar, Choshu is quickly to the ropes but Fujinami is hesitant to break the hold but does after a two seconds. Tatsumi tries to continue his assault but Choshu does a double leg takedown and locks in the Sasori Gatame. Tatsumi submitted to this before will he again, he crawls desperately trying to get the ropes.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div

A fear of a loss is in Choshu and he rises to his feet and mounts Fujinami hitting forearms causing the champ to cover up and try turning over to avoid the shots. Fujinami would turn over but get locked in a Crossface Chicken Wing. Will he submit? He begins rolling back and forth with Choshu under him with the hold locked in and one leg hooked on Fujinami’s body. To avoid losing his title Fujinami begins elbowing as hard as he could Choshu ribs with his free arm which let him escape. Fujinami attempts for a vertical suplex but Choshu blocks it, thinking on the fly Fujinami does a small package instead.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div

When he gets to his feet he runs and hits a Riki Lariat knocking Tatsumi against the ropes as he is using every ounce of energy he has left to not fall to Choshu, but the Revolutionary Warrior picks up speed again and hits another Riki Lariat dropping The Dragon. Seeing his opportunity Riki wastes no moment but picks up Fujinami instead of covering him as if to hit one more big move to put the nail in the coffin. Choshu attempts to Powerbomb Fujinami but is backdropped for his troubles, quickly gets back to his feet to get hit by a Fujinami Enziguri. Both men are down, and the referee starts the count, if no one gets up by 20 it’s a draw. He hits 12 and Fujinami is back up through still gaining his breath Choshu is also stirring. Fujinami attempts to hit the Dragon Suplex again but can’t lock his fingers in once again, Choshu gets control of his arm and elbows out of the Suplex attempt. In a quick moment he hits another Riki Lariat on Fujinami and goes for the cover.</span></div></div></div></div><p></p><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div style="margin-left:25px;"><div

Press Conferences: Post Night 18

Ishin Gundan

 

Riki Choshu

parades into the room with the Ishin Gundan beside him and with the WWF International Heavyweight Championship on his arm. Choshu is the first to speak and says that despite the Ishin Gundan not winning everything tonight their opponents are worse for wear after competing against them. Also proclaiming things may actually change now,

“We proved tonight that we are the “Ichiban” (Number One) I beat the Dragon, the man who thought I couldn’t stand toe to toe with him, I BEAT! This championship proves I’m on the same level as Tatsumi Fujinami and beating him for it proves I am better.”

He goes on to say that the Restoration of respect and honor in New Japan took a great leap forward tonight.

 

Masa Saito

also gets time to speak when a reporter asks to speak with him about his actions taken on Antonio Inoki, breaking a chair over the presidents back. Saito with a grimace on his face says he wanted to break more chairs over him and that he isn’t through with Inoki. The devilish Saito walks off and the rest of Ishin Gundan follows.

 

Gadian Rikugun

The four members of the

Gadian Rikugun

come into the press room

(Antonio Inoki, Kengo Kimura, Hulk Hogan, & Tatsumi Fujinami)

 

Tonight was not the best night for the Guardians as Inoki was banged up by Saito with a chair and Fujinami lost his championship to Riki Choshu. Inoki points out the bad night he says the Rikugun had and that every night can’t be great and that the past failures will only strive the Rikugun to do better and learn from their mistakes. Hogan takes a moment though to point out that Fujinami is the only one of them that lost and that he won his tag team match with Kimura. Fujinami just has a towel over his head and is hanging his head in shame of his lost. Kimura though stands up for his friend and says Hogan should sit down because it’s not like he could beat Choshu anyway and that Fujinami put up a better fight. The

“Super Gaijin”

pushes down the smaller Kimura which gets every off guard and cameras flashing. Inoki gets in between the two. Fujinami stands up and helps up Kimura and holds him back from Hogan. Hogan screaming how he is Number One and all of Japan knows it, Fujinami looks at Hogan who’s pointing over Inoki’s shoulder saying he lost and slaps Hogan’s hand away. This leads Hogan to push over the table they had been sitting at and storming out of the press room.

 

The tension lowers in the room with Inoki calming Kimura & Fujinami down. Reporters attempt to ask more questions but Inoki finishes with

“Ishin Gundan will be dismantled!”

Inoki signals Fujinami & Kimura and they leave with the angry Inoki.

Dynamite Kid & Davey Boy Smith

 

The British Bulldogs are

in full celebration mode with Dynamite proudly holding the

Junior Star Cup

. Dynamite makes it clear he will beat Tiger Mask and says that the Junior Star Cup makes him the best Junior in New Japan. Davey Boy Smith announces that he will now be declared a Junior alongside Dynamite and will battle side by side with his blood brother. Davey gives Dynamite a pat on the back and proclaims they will dominate and show they are the most ravenous threat in New Japan.

The Cobra

 

The Cobra

came close to a victory of the

Junior Star Cup

but came up just short. Reporters praise his performance but ask how it feels to lose in the finals. He says it is devastating and that though he lost and is disappointed he is proud of what he accomplished showing just how good of a performer he is. Also proclaiming next year he looks to redeem himself

.

 

Tiger Mask

 

Victorious in his NWA World Junior title defense against Brian Blair, the

Ace of the Juniors Tiger Mask

was taking questions with both the NWA World Junior Heavyweight Title and WWF Junior Heavyweight Title in front of him. Asked about the result of the Junior Star Cup, Tiger Mask says that he is the ichiban of the Juniors and despite not winning the Junior Star Cup will still prove he is. He says that

Dynamite Kid

is one of his best challengers and that he wants to get in the ring with him again at the NJPW 11th Anniversary Show and as a prize for winning the cup he will put the NWA World Junior and WWF Junior Heavyweight Titles on the line. He finishes

“I will see Dynamite in the ring on the 30th.”

 

Reporters also asked about if Black Tiger will receive another shot at him after defeating him in the Junior Star Cup. Tiger Mask chalks that up to his injury and speaking of said injury says how much disrespect he has for Isamu Teranishi after purposely injuring him in the opening of the Junior Star Cup. Also saying that Isamu is not a competitor that he will look forward to facing ever and feels wasted when he is in the ring with such a coward that Isamu is.

 

The Connection

 

*They never arrived to the press room apparently prompting to go out to celebrate Dick Murdoch’s victory*

 

Black Tiger, Fuerza Guerrera, Black Cat, & Blue Panther

 

This group has picked up multiple amounts of wins in the last two months. And have grown more n sync in that time. Tonight they defeated Ryuma Go, Les Thorton, Dean Malenko, & the debuting Chavo Guerrero. There are two main statements in this press conference first from Black Cat dubbing the group

“Cuatro Máscaras de Animals”

(Four Masked Animals)

. Also Black Tiger speaks on Tiger Mask and how he deserves a shot after defeating the inferior Tiger.

“No matter if he was hurt or not he went out there and fought, and lost.”

 

(All the other conferences didn’t disclose any information needed to know.)
