Strong Machine and Manabu Nakanishi starts up with a test of strength, with Strong Machine out-powering Nakanishi to the ground. Super Strong machine works on Nakanishi’s limbs with those perfectly placed elbows hitting those limbs hard. A whip from Nakanishi sends Strong Machine to the corner through which Nakanishi makes a good comeback with the back elbow following to the corner.  Nakanishi finally tags in to Kanemoto, as Super Strong Machine tags to Tiger Mask IV.

The crowd is chanting Liger’s name, who build up a spirit that leads to an awesome striking bout that had Liger engage with the quick counter to the back and hitting the “Enzuigiri” from the back to the side of the head.  Liger locks in the surfboard weakening Kanemoto more and more, but Strong Machine breaks the hold, thus leading Manabu Nakanishi coming to the ring which leads to a brawl between those two to the ringside, while Tiger Mask IV and Wataru Inoue uses the guard rails to destroy each other. In the ring, both men are recovering and getting with the help of second rope. Kanemoto tries to hit Liger first, but Liger dodges and capitalizes with the “Shotei” once again.

Okada is seen developing staying with Nakamura’s faction Rise, and gaining two more great heavyweight brawlers into the faction. Tomohiro Ishii and Masato Tanaka are the backbone for this faction, as Hirooki Goto serves as a guide and Okada seems to be rising in ranking. From Seki-Gun, the current rising babyface stable that has a mix of veterans and leading stars of New Japan, and great upcoming stars that can take the pride of New Japan leading to even more success. Yuji Nagata, one of the greatest IWGP Heavyweight championship, as none can deny his sheer wrestling ability and the huge crowding getting behind him in an instant. Ten-Koji, as they are mostly known, Satoshi Kojima and Hiroyoshi Tenzan leads the faction through tag team division seasoning themselves up, they are see what shall take them down. The newest member who debuted to save Tanahashi from Brock Lesnar, but through wrestling term he is one of the rising stars just like Kazuchika Okada and more over the league.  Okada and Claudio starts with each other in the ring, as each try to target the body parts of each other. Okada goes for the back, but Claudio transitions locking in a headlock leading to some ground work.

Ishii goes after Claudio, as both Ishii and Claudio exchange some grueling strikes leading to Ishii hitting Claudio with the right hand with rocks Claudio, and Ishii takes the chance to hit the German Suplex on target. Ishii works on the head of Claudio with those Kneedrops and elbow drops followed by a Gruesome “Penalty Kneekick” to the mouth of Claudio that busted his mouth open with blood starting to gush out. Ishii wastes no more time as he tags in Okada, with those he hits the “Double Brainbuster”, before Okada ends the lights out of Claudio with the stiff “German Suplex” for the win. <img alt="4u8e.gif" data-src="https://i.gifer.com/4u8e.gif" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Winner: “RISE” Masato Tanaka, Tomohiro Ishii, Hirooki Goto, Kazuchika Okada Match Rating: 74 Note: In a bout that had superb wrestling and great heat, Rise (Kazuchika Okada, Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii and Masato Tanaka) defeated Yuji Nagata, Claudio Castagnoli, Hiroyoshi Tenzan and Satoshi Kojima in 19:59 when Kazcuhika Okada defeated Claudio Castagnoli by pinfall with a German Suplex.   </div> </div></blockquote><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="bWVveyj.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bWVveyj.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45543" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;"> ~RISE!  ~All men are still brawling outside with Tenzan and Kojima getting help form Yuji Nagata. Kojima and Tenzan sends Tanaka over the guard railing, but Tenzan goes onto beating Goto. Ishii and Okada makes a quick save, as Kojima was going for the “Suplex” onto the guard. Ishii and Okada uses the guard railing striking Kojima before he gets knocked down with Ishii and Goto hitting their signature on Kojima. Okada has already taken on Nagata, but Tenzan cuts him down. The Rise members take control again with all of them hitting their signatures on all the members of Seki-Gun. RISE members walk their path to the ring, where Claudio is getting some medical attention to what Ishii and Okada had done to him. Ishii threats the medical team out of the ring, as Ishii picks up Claudio, with Goto hitting the “Shouten Kai” on Claudio better throwing him out of the ring. The brawling and beating got a huge heated reaction from the crowd, as all the fan favorites got knocked out one by one. Masato Tanaka snatches a microphone from the announcers desk, before handing him to Goto, who is the similar the underboss in a mafia in this faction next to Nakamura. Goto speaks through the microphone saying that they have had enough of Seki-Gun getting all the attention from everyone, he says he is sick and tired of not getting a spotlight because of this whole Seki-Gun faction, he continues to bash them and insulting made the crowd boo them evenmore. Goto says that he will destroy his enemies starting tomorrow as today was just…a beginning… <img alt="download-161.jpg?w=736" data-src="https://kayfabetoday.files.wordpress.com/2015/12/download-161.jpg?w=736" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />  Goto gives the microphone to Okada, who says that he is tired of Nagata just like Goto said, Okada says that he respects Nagata mentoring him, but he does not like the way Nagata is using Okada in taking pride for the success he is having staying in RISE. Okada continues to talk about more insulting word to Nagata. Okada says that Nagata wanted a match against Okada didn’t he? He will soon show that Nagata is not in the league of Okada now, he says that Nagata will get to feel the new and improved version Okada as Nagata will feel the amount of improvement in him once he steps in the ring against him when the…time is right…  Finally microphone is passed onto Ishii and Tanaka, as he say more trash talk toward Tenzan & Satoshi Kojima to one point saying that they are the worst tag team on the tag team division, and saying that Seki-Gun member only want cheap cheering from the crowd, as they can’t tolerate it anymore and challenging the whole faction against RISE, thus Ishii ending the segment and raising everyone’s hand up together proving to be an unit celebration…every trash talk here strikes a war between…Seki-Gun and RISE…  Segment Rating: 80 </div> </div></blockquote><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="bWVveyj.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bWVveyj.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45543" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="xOhQZ4w.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xOhQZ4w.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> ~”Legends/Team 2000” Riki Chosu, Masahiro Chono, AKIRA, Terry Funk vs. Yoshihiro Taijiri, Karl Anderson, Giant Bernard, AJ Styles. Terry Funk makes a great entrance with all the other legends altogether getting a huge reaction from the crowd, as the crowd chants the names, the legends show their appreciation in the ring through bowing before the crowd and cameras. AKIRA and Taijiri now starts in the ring, with AKIRA starting with some light elbows and Taijiri firing back up with some good looking side and back-spinning kicks, before a round house kick connects, but instead of pinning Styles gets in the ring, and demand to face Terry Funk. Funk comes down to the ring with the crowd largely behind him, but Styles takes him down with good light/heavy working. Funk reaches from the ropes in order for styles to unlock the kneebar. Funk finally comesback with some good right and left which had AJ back and forth in motion. Funk now tries for a “Hangman’s neckbreaker”, but Styles counters the hold, which gets countered into a right, and thus the “Hangman’s neckbreaker” connects. Chono and Chosu comes in later against the “Bad Intentions” Giant Bernard & Karl Anderson, with Bernard getting most of the upperhand, but cue Chono and Chosu using double strength to take Bernard down. Anderson from behind ambushes Chosu, which leads to a “Anderson Spinebuster” to Chosu. Bernard finally counters Chono’s attempt for the “Yakuza Kick” with a “Baldo Bomb” which shook the ring for the win. http://puroresucentral.com/Images/GiantBernardPowerbomb.jpg Although losing to “3D Squad”, the legends take it as a man continue to smile down the ramp and interacting with their fans, as the crowd still loves them… Winner: Yoshihiro Taijiri, Karl Anderson, Giant Bernard, AJ Styles Match Rating: 72 Note: In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, 3D Squad (AJ Styles, Giant Bernard, Karl Anderson and Yoshihiro Tajiri) defeated Riki Choshu, Masahiro Chono, AKIRA and Terry Funk in 19:31 when Giant Bernard defeated Masahiro Chono by pinfall after the Baldo Bomb. </div> </div></blockquote><div style="text-align:left;"> <img alt="bWVveyj.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bWVveyj.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45543" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <img alt="4logweH.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/4logweH.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> ~”3D Squad/Great Bash Heel” Brock Lesnar & Tomoaki Honma vs. “British Invasion” Doug Williams & Brutus Magnus. Brock Lesnar is surely changing his attitude and his manners. Lesnar is also changing his wrestling style to using a more combat based moves instead of the whole power-move show you would usually see. Lesnar tonight is totally different from what we all saw, he is walking down the ramp in a black T- shirt, with a pair of gloves supporting his hand, and his attitude is quite a rough one… http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters4/yama-walk.gif http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters4/yamazaki-ne.gif  Lesnar coming down the ring to this attitude, and enters the ring to deliver this awesome sequence of introduction with his new freshened up character… http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters4/yamazaki-specintro.gif  Magnus and Honma starts the things, as both exchanges hold to get a better grip onto each other, and Honma takes down Magnus, who escapes in transitioning to Honma’s back trying for a headlock, but that too countered which leads to both of them tagging out. Doug Williams comes in… http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters4/yamazaki-run1.gif Lesnar attacks him with a Yakuza kick… http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters4/yama-special.gif Lesnar surely has changed his form as well as fighting. Lesnar now works on Doug with Stomps striking his head, and Lesnar stomps each and every limp twice. Lifting Doug up, Lesnar gives him a menacing little smile, which definitely creeps out Doug, who tries to escape, but Lesnar helds him only to connect with the “German Suplex” stiff on Doug’s head. Brutus Magnus comes in fight Lesnar who gives him a “German Suplex” instead. Lesnar taunts in the middle of the ring with his new persona that gets some heated reaction from the crowd. Lesnar picks Doug up after throwing Brutus out of the ring and connecting with the “F-5” for the win. Lesnar is the ring still beats up Doug Williams to a pulp which looked something like… http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters4/yama-super2.gif Throwing all his opponents out of the ring…Lesnar grabs a microphone to say his words…but only to be minimized to “The Blood…It rages within me…”.  http://www.fightersgeneration.com/characters4/yamazaki-laughinghard.gif  Winner: ”3D Squad/Great Bash Heel” Brock Lesnar & Tomoaki Honma Match Rating: 75 Note: In a bout that had great wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Tomoaki Honma and Brock Lesnar defeated The British Invasion in 19:31 when Brock Lesnar defeated Doug Williams by pinfall after the F-5. ~Brock’s new gimmick got over a.f.   </div></blockquote><img alt="bWVveyj.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/bWVveyj.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45543" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div> <img alt="ye6uXJt.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/ye6uXJt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><div style="text-align:center;"></div> ~Grudge Match: Averno vs. Yuji KUSHIDA Both men starts with quick paced sequence at the beginning, and Averno uses his Luchador style to take down KUSHIDA’s, who transitions again with a hurricanrana now taking Averno to the ground.

Congratulations for a Great Show and thank you for using my graphics. You can always count on me for that lol <img alt="

Woo! Great Wrestle Kingdom!

Started off strong with the six-man tag, Koji facing off against Tiger Mask, and then Liger was done well. Liger is the big little man on campus haha

A lot of random word mix-ups, and just improper phrasing. I gotta say. Makes things confusing here and there. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/redface.png.900245280682ef18c5d82399a93c5827.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Overall, the storytelling is just great. The way you describe the position in the company of the competitors at the beginning of matches is helpful.

Thought the eight man tag was headed toward a power struggle between big hosses, but really turned out to be Okada vs Claudio and I liked it! CC taking the fall is lame though. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Okada calling out Nagata was well-done, seems like he is just about to break out. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Those two groups can't stand each other.

The Legends vs. Tajiri/AJ/Bad Intentions went about as expected. Love to see AJ putting in some work, but I'm actually a secret mark for Giant Bernard as well. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Love the Baldo Bomb, great finish haha and on Chono, no less.

Absolutely terrific sprites for Lesnar and his new gimmick! <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> They did make the finish underwhelming, I think. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/confused.png.d4a8e6b6eab0c67698b911fb041c0ed1.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Maybe I'm bias 'cause I love the Brits <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Not much attention there, but it got the point across. That point is something I completely support, which is KUSHIDA is awesome. Back to the Future is a great finish as well. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Part II

Roll Credits again lol

I am so effing happy to see the Guns get the Jr. Heavyweight Tag straps. They are my absolute favorite tag team, and they did it in spectacular fashion! No Limit seem to also fit here, and kind of left the (former) champs on the outside looking in. I assume they will be contenders in the future. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Build up for the Apollo 55 showdown was pretty incredible. The match itself was well-written, and had less theatrics, which I enjoyed very much. The curse word for the finish, and Devitt wins, as he should. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Had to be happy with that rating.

Part III

Roll Credits agaaaain haha

Mistico going over Ibushi is pretty terrific, and the fast-pace was conveyed in the match. Thought it was going the other way for a second, the first time I'd been unsure where a match was going after I started reading it here. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Devitt coming out once more makes sense, but is rather sudden considering he just went to battle with his former friend? Then again, the attack on the champ was pretty awesome, and really does set him apart as a new villain for Mistico.

Clearly the story for the next one is Nakamura (featuring Yano) lol fending off the legendary Dudleyz. I was definitely pulling for Team 3D, though, and liked the back-and-forth in this one. Wasn't too disappointed to see Nakamura get the win he desperately vied for here. Good stuff. The Sprites return, 'cause having Honma next to you when you beat up the Brits puts you in line for the tag belts! Lol, Lesnar and Nakamura have a bit of a score to settle, it seems.

Part IV

ROLL CREDITS haha

The Hype segment lands a 100! So many pawns on the board for this big match, I cannot wait... Found the finish clear from the start, but was very happy to go along for the ride! Clearly the Ace will be Ace for a long time to come. And again with the post-match challenger, three in a row <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> The OGM's arrival basically sets him up as the bad man on campus, but there are a lot of other challengers creeping up on Tanahashi for him to worry about.

I think I enjoyed this so much as it felt like an Americanized version, slightly, of New Japan. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Not sure that I would normally, but that's how I feel about it. Good work, Rhyme.

The Wrestle Kingdom 4 saw many rivalries take form and new challengers’ come in to hunt the titles... Okada and Yuji Nagata seem to be in something that shows a rivalry between Mentor and Pupil. Okada is a young lion, who soon found his success tagging up with Hirooki Goto in the G-1 Tag leagues. Goto introduced Okada to Nakamura who then impressed by Okada’s potential soon took it in. Okada has previously worked for Nagata thus you can say that Nagata trained Okada to have such a potential. Okada along with his fellow Stable mates from “RISE” joined up to fight against their rivals “Seki-Gun”. “RISE” won the match, thanks to Ishii and Tanaka isolating their opponents while Goto destroyed Claudio almost killing him, but Okada came in send a huge impact with the ‘Stiff’ German Suplex. Okada soon took the microphone to claim that he is tired and pissed at how Nagata is using Okada’s success as a tool to put himself over. Okada seems to have a score to settle with Nakamura. Tonight they meet each other in tag team action as ‘RISE’ takes on ‘Seki-Gun’ tonight. Brock Lesnar, who debuted his new ‘self’ is up on action tonight. Honma and Lesnar has beaten the “British Invasion”, who are a team that brings in real good wrestling from Britain. Lesnar and Honma definitely had their plan all along, with Lesnar coming out at his best. On the other hand Nakamura & Yano defeated ‘Team 3D’, who couldn’t capitalize the titles back, but sure gave Nakamura a cold stare before leaving to the back. At the backstage comments ‘Brother Ray’ said that he will come back for this titles but once and only when ‘Team 3D’ reaches their full potential, he ends the interview saying; “Don’t worry…we will come for the titles sooner or later, until then enjoy your time ****ing morons”. Brock Lesnar and Honma enters the scene as soon as Team 3D leaves. Lesnar shows his new ‘self’ to challenge in his new way... Misitco has retained his IWGP Junior Heavyweight Championship. A new challenger arises to challenge him, no...a new villain in the game…Prince Devitt and Ryusuke Taguchi have had their share of Grudge, but that does not mean that they are over yet, there is more to it…more… Hiroshi Tanahashi retains the IWGP Heavyweight title. The challenger for the ‘Next’ showdown is the Olympic Gold Medalist, Kurt Angle himself! Angle, who is the TNA world heavyweight champion has come forward to take the prestigious IWGP Heavyweight Championship. Angle is not just another challenger, he has the great skills in mat wrestling that can outsmart Tanahashi! He possess a superior something that Tanahashi cannot keep up with. On backstage comments Kurt said that he thinks Tanahashi has done a great job on retaining his championship. Kurt says that the only reason he didn’t beat the crap out of Tanahashi because he will all the hurting the ring when they meet for the IWGP Heavyweight championship. He continues to say that he also didn’t want himself ruin his moment because this will be the last celebration he will ever do. “The IWGP Heavyweight, the prestigious belt in the world, I want it…I just want it...Oh it’s true! It’s damn true!”. Kurt also claims that he has made an alliance with the 3D Squad as he sees this stable as the best stable in New Japan. 3D Squad and Seki-Gun collides tonight at the mainevent! </div></blockquote></div> <div style="text-align:center;">Quick Picks: ~Rene Dupree vs. Tama Tonga ~Koji Kanemoto & Wataru Ionue vs. Taichi & Tiger Mask IV ~"British Invasion & Doug Williams" vs. Yoshihashi & AKIRA ~"RISE" Kazcuhika Okada, Hirooki Goto, Tomohiro Ishii vs. "Seki-Gun" Yuji Nagata, Claudio Castagnoli, Super Strong Machine. ~"Seki-Gun/Junior heavyweights" Alex Shelley, Chris Sabin, Ryusuke Taguchi, Averno, Misitco vs. "Great Bash Heel/Junior heavyweights" Prince Devitt, Yujiro KUSHIDA, Gedo, Jado, Kota Ibushi. ~"RISE" Shinsuke Nakamura, Toru Yano, Masato Tanaka vs. "3D Squad" Brock Lesnar, Tomoaki Honma, Togi Makabe ~"Seki-Gun" Hiroshi Tanahashi, Manabu Nakanishi, Hiroyoshi Tenzan, Satoshi Kojima vs. "3D Squad" Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, Giant Bernard, Karl Anderson. </div> </div> </div>
