I have been reading this diary off and on for several months -- often I end up binging it to make sure I get caught up. I really enjoy the work you're doing -- and the way you're able manage the touring company elements -- something that has always been a struggle for me.</div></blockquote> Thank you for your words of support. The way I'm presenting tour shows now is pretty dense compared to the past so there's usually a lot to catch up with. It's been a challenge coming up with a proper pace for the diary and a good way to write out tour shows, but I'm happy with what I've ended up with. Making a touring company work has been a challenge for a long while, let alone writing a diary based on that and keeping it interesting. It helps that BCG is 100% matches; there's still rivalries and the most basic of storylines, but no extensive angles or character work so that takes a lot of work off the table already, something I'm very thankful for.

Black Canvas Grappling

Heritage tour press conference

After officially debuting for Black Canvas Grappling in late December, Irwin Gutmann was present at the press conference and much of the interest around him had to do with the faction he would be joining. With several new wrestlers expected to make their debut within the January tour, the deck is about to be reshuffled and Gutmann is the first such case. While many expected him to join his fellow gaijin in Coast to Coast, the Canadian-German said he believes his style and dedication to his craft would make him a better fit for the Seven Samurai, only to be immediately shot down by faction leader and BCG World Heavyweight champion Funakoshi. Laconically stating that "the Seven will remain just that, seven" the promotion's top man shocked many, Gutmann included, by closing the doors to any new recruits in a move that certainly elevated the faction's prestige but might come back to haunt it once they get to chasing points once more.

With Funakoshi's surprise announcement and Coast to Coast evolving from a gaijin group into a group of big powerhouses, Gutmann and three new BCG members Rob Reynolds, Sterling Whitlock and Storm Spillane had no other choice but to join the ranks of Puroresu-gun, expanding it from a Japanese-only group to a multinational army and the largest of three currently in the company.

After recently crowning a new BCG Challengers Series champion in Animal Harker, the company revealed a new design for the belt during the press conference to much applause. The new title incorporates three sockets for removable medallions and according to BCG officialls, will be handed to the new champion as such; every successful title defense will earn the champion one of the medallions and only once all three have been collected will he be able to vacate the belt for a title shot. As several analysts have commented, the decision should add value and defenses to the title, preventing its depreciation from immediate cash-ins.

<div style="text-align:center;">BCG Heritage Tour Tuesday, W1 of January 2017 Muroran Hall, Hokkaido Attendance: 174 Show Rating: C+ <img alt="hzVDAZt.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hzVDAZt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="dJEmwRw.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dJEmwRw.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Goemon Inoue: Welcome BCG fans and happy new year! I am Goemon Inoue, here to give you a recap of tonight's Heritage tour show and I am delighted to be joined by my usual announcing partner, Shozo Kawamata. Shozo Kawamata: Hello from me as well and thank you very much, pleasure to be here with you on top of calling the action during the show. Let's get down to it, it's been an exciting start to the year. GI: The opening match was a 3 on 3 battle pitting two factions against each other as members of Seven Samurai and Puroresu-gun clashed in the ring. SK: Each side had a regular tag team on their ranks as well, with Shiga & Miyake joining Utagawa while newcomer Irwin Gutmann sided with Muscle Blasters. GI: Having a third partner seemed to throw Miyake off pace, but Utagawa made up for the distraction he caused by showcasing some slick technical wrestling skills, the kind of which his trainers at Ling School would definitely be proud of. SK: It paid of too in the end, as he was able to catch Serizawa in a sleeper hold until the buff youngster passed out. In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Seven Samurai (Masayuki Shiga, Motoyuki Miyake and Shuzo Utagawa) defeated Puroresu-gun (Blast Ikoma, MUSCLE Serizawa and Irwin Gutmann) in 10:12 when Shuzo Utagawa defeated MUSCLE Serizawa by submission with a Sleeper Hold. Rating: D+ The winners were obviously happy with the outcome and this is what they had to say for their match when interviewed upon returning to the backstage area: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="7VXjYUs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7VXjYUs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="S5oggAX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/S5oggAX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="dlVXejX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dlVXejX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Shiga: "It is matches like these that prove the Seven Samurai are truly a group for the elite. My young lion teammates performed admirably tonight and the win was rightfully ours by the end." Miyake: "I'm so used to teaming up with Shiga-sama it's affecting my ability to wrestle anything besides tag matches these days, it seems. I still have weaknesses to address, but I'm blessed to be in a superb group that was thankfully able to make up for my shortcomings tonight." Utagawa: "Just being one of the Seven Samurai is a huge honour, let alone wrestle a match with the likes of Shiga-sama and be the one to get the win!" GI: The following match was another 3 on 3 faction war, this time with Coast to Coast fighting Puroresu-gun. SK: Double K were in there with Matsumoto, facing off against the terrifying power of Goto and Itou who were backed up by Threepwood's considerable technical acumen. GI: Kiyotaka was the MVP for his team, but it just wasn't enough to carry them to a victory as well. Thanks to a devastating performance from Goto, Coast to Coast got the win when Itou hit his finisher on a stunned Matsumoto. In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, Coast to Coast (Eikichi Itou, Conner Threepwood and Naozane Goto) defeated Puroresu-gun (Kiyotaka, Gidayu Katou and Kyuichi Matsumoto) in 9:50 when Eikichi Itou defeated Kyuichi Matsumoto by pinfall with an Itou Bomb. Rating: D- With only losses to show for up to that point, Puroresu-gun members were in no mood to make any statements after the match. This is what the winning team had to say: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="dQi7xWJ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dQi7xWJ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="VfnB77X.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/VfnB77X.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="CuHyCWZ.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/CuHyCWZ.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Itou: "Coast to Coast came very close to winning in the rankings last month. This month we made sure to get a good start and I hope we can keep it up until the end." Threepwood: "It's a new experience leading a team of young lions, but we were victorious and that's all that matters." Goto: "None can stand against the power of Coast to Coast!" GI: Hokkaido fans were treated to a main event that could have easily headlined a big monthly event as Funakoshi and Bunrakuken Torii went to war. SK: The BCG World Heavyweight title may have not been on the line, but that didn't make the match any less exciting. Two of BCG's top stars gave it their all and with Torii now free of injury, this match literally blew the roof off of Muroran Hall. GI: Indeed it did, as even without the title on the line, the two are scheduled to face off for it at BCG Heritage after Torii vacated the Challengers Series title. SK: And he proved he's every bit worthy and dangerous, as he defeated the champion clean after catching him with a tooth-shattering Spinning Forearm Smash as he bounced off the ropes. GI: This is the first loss Funakoshi suffers in a singles match since last September and it was Torii again that did it back then. SK: Looks like the leader of Puroresu-gun is in great form after getting cleared from the doctors and shaking off his niggling injury, this win is a testament to that and should help him build momentum for their big title match in the end of the month. In a bout that had superb wrestling and good heat, Bunrakuken Torii defeated Funakoshi in 17:18 by pinfall with a Spinning Forearm Smash. Rating: B+ Obviously satisfied with himself but completely exhausted after a tough match and a hard earned victory, Torii had little he could say during his interview: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="D4Mz47n.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/D4Mz47n.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Torii: "I will not be denied the title and Puroresu-gun will not be denied their destiny. Battle after battle, we shall win this war and bring the change this place so desperately needs." GI: Three matches to the show and each faction won one, so it's a draw after the first night of the tour. SK: Still pretty early to make predictions, but I'm willing to say Puroresu-gun are looking good with Torii in great form and a big influx of new members joining their ranks. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45613" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Seven Samurai: 2 Puroresu-gun: 2 Coast to Coast: 2</div></div></blockquote>

That's a great addition that I really enjoy.

BCG Heritage Tour

Thursday, W1 of January 2017

Shizuoka Sports Hall, Chubu

Attendance: 300 (sold out)

Show Rating: C

Goemon Inoue: Welcome again to another tour show recap! Goemon Inoue here, alongside Shozo Kawamata.

Shozo Kawamata: Another show full of quality matches, as is the standard in Black Canvas Grappling. Let's get to it then.

GI: World Tag Team champions the Partnership of Pain had an easy job in the opening bout, manhandling Gutmann and Matsumoto to victory.

SK: Gutmann was smart to use his technical wrestling skill and submission holds to wear down the big men, but Matsumoto just couldn't keep it up.

GI: It's not just that, Brody and Matsushita have been teaming up for quite some time and they seem to function like clockwork when in a tag match.

In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Partnership Of Pain defeated Kyuichi Matsumoto and Irwin Gutmann in 7:54 when Giant Brody defeated Kyuichi Matsumoto by pinfall with a Single Handed Choke Slam.

Rating: D+

Unsurprisingly, the champions seemed pretty cocky after picking up another victory.

Brody: Gutmann probably thought this is Europe, but his skill doesn't mean anything in Japan if he can't back it up with the warrior spirit of a champion!

Matsushita: It was a nice match tonight, we had competition to keep things interesting for the fans and challenge us somewhat, but there was no way the outcome could have been any different.

GI: Moving on to the second tag match of the night, former champions Team Taku wrestled against the hot new pairing of Kiyotaka and Gidayou Katou.

SK: And what a match that was indeed, so physical and intense it had fans on the edge of their seats from bell to bell!

GI: Despite Yoshinaka Taku's best efforts, he just couldn't save his father from Kiyotaka's kimura and Double K got a big win over the father-son duo.

SK: This should come as little surprise following their clash with Shiga & Miyake at Generations last month and now I think they're on the fast lane for a tag title match.

In a decent match, Double K defeated Team Taku in 10:41 when Kiyotaka defeated Toshinobu Taku by submission with a Kimura.

Rating: C+

Kiyotaka: At Generations, I almost choked out Masayuki Shiga to send him several steps closer to retirement, but had to settle for his young teammate. Tonight I did it to Toshinobu Taku and all the aging veterans better take notice!

Katou: Puroresu-gun is here to make way for the next generation!

GI: The size of Puroresu-gun's membership is becoming apparent, they had someone in every match and that included the main even, featuring the debut of a new signing in Rob Reynolds.

SK: Let me tell you, the deck was stacked against him as he was up against one of the biggest, baddest men in Black Canvas, Bulldozer Brandon Smith.

GI: Reynolds used his kickboxing background to full effect as he tried to eliminate Smith's vertical base, but he just wasn't able to utilize his arsenal of head-dropping moves, suplexes and brainbusters.

SK: Smith had the advantage in terms of size and power, but he also had the psychological advantage because unlike his opponent, he had nothing to prove.

GI: A valid point, Reynolds wanted to start his course in Black Canvas with a big win and that's exactly what he got here, though he had to work very hard and endure inhuman amounts of pain to get it.

In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Rob Reynolds defeated Bulldozer Brandon Smith in 21:02 by pinfall with a Real Deal Rocker.

Rating: C+

After the match, Rob Reynolds got on the mic to address the audience.

http://i.imgur.com/CO7PSWX.jpg

Reynolds: It's good to be back in Japan and it's good to win my first match with Black Canvas Grappling. I want to thank you all for filling every seat in this venue, I'm looking forward to wrestle all the big stars of this company down the road.

GI: Reynolds will indeed be interesting to see against many of BCG's top stars.

SK: His victory brings Puroresu-gun to four points, just as many as Coast to Coast, with Seven Samurai still at two.

Puroresu-gun: 4
Coast to Coast: 4
Seven Samurai: 2

<div style="text-align:center;">BCG Heritage Tour Tuesday, W2 of January 2017 Fukuoka Hall, Kyushu Attendance: 149 Show Rating: D+ <img alt="hzVDAZt.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hzVDAZt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="dJEmwRw.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dJEmwRw.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Goemon Inoue: Week two of this month's Heritage tour kicked off tonight with four match show in Kyushu. I'm Goemon Inoue for Black Canvas Grappling and I'm joined once again by Shozo Kawamata Shozo Kawamata: Fans were treated to an exciting event, let's take it match by match. GI: "100% Machine" Yuki Horigoshi clashed in the opener with Conner Threepwood and managed to get the win after hitting his opponent with a decapitating Yuki Rush Lariat. SK: Horigoshi needed this win after losing to Animal Harker last month, I'm pretty sure he will be shooting for the BCG Challengers Series title soon enough again. GI: A very strong showing from Threepwood too, despite his loss. He gave his opponent a hard time, made him sweat to earn that victory. In a bout that had sub-par wrestling and little heat, Yuki Horigoshi defeated Conner Threepwood in 9:44 by pinfall with a Yuki Rush Lariat. Rating: D- This is what the winner had to say backstage after the match: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="Vi9pn5n.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Vi9pn5n.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Horigoshi: It was a hard match, for sure. Inhuman even, but I'm 100% Machine! GI: Next up was the debut of Sterling Whitlock, BCG's latest signing. His opponent was Shuzo Utagawa and what a match they had! SK: Whitlock has been trained by Alexander Robinson and he is no stranger to puroresu; he has toured Japan already as a member of PGHW and his style draws heavily from classic puro. GI: Whitlock put on a clinic and to even get in the ring with him, let alone wrestle him for over ten minutes, speaks volumes of Utagawa's skill and determination. In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Sterling Whitlock defeated Shuzo Utagawa in 11:48 by pinfall with a Whitlock's End. Rating: D+ The newcomer had plenty of things to say after the match: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="dVZrivn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dVZrivn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Whitlock: I did not come back to Japan to waste my time in small venues fighting young lions! These fans here don't deserve my excellence! Puroresu-gun, yeah we bring change to this company that's too scared to think big! GI: Whitlock wasn't the only one debuting though. CZCW's Storm Spillane also wrestled a match on this night. SK: He's also wrestled before in Japan with PGHW. GI: Eikichi Itou was his opponent and Spillane caught him by surprise with a few aerial high impact moves, but Itou quickly made the best of his superior strength to get back in the match. SK: I think that was a wake up call for Spillane though. GI: Indeed, because he proceeded towards a more classic puroresu approach and that's what allowed him to lock in a kneeling variation of his Boston Crab finisher for the tap out. SK: Pretty disgraceful there, beating a young lion with a Boston Crab. In a decent match, Storm Spillane defeated Eikichi Itou in 12:15 by submission with a Kneeling Boston Crab. Rating: C- We were able to get some statements from Storm Spillane backstage after his match: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="1fN7bAM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1fN7bAM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Spillane: Itou and I had a great match out there. He lost, of course, but it goes to show what you can expect once I lock horns with the big dogs of this promotion. GI: In the big main event, Animal Harker made his first successful defense of the BCG Challengers Series title against Kiyotaka. SK: This also earns him the first of three medallions, as per the rules. GI: Kiyotaka was probably the better in terms of wrestling, but Harker showed relentless aggression, overwhelming his opponent with strike after strike until he was able to put him out with the Stump Piledriver. In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Animal Harker defeated Kiyotaka in 16:13 by pinfall with a Stump Piledriver. Animal Harker makes defence number 1 of his BCG Challengers Series title. Rating: D+ After earning the medallion, Harker got on the mic and addressed the fans: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="1ILTzlE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1ILTzlE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="3rJ5hD0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/3rJ5hD0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Harker: Just two more left to grab, baby! I better be getting those matches by the end of the month so I can cash in my shot before Heritage! Yoshinaka Taku, I'm coming for your BCG National championship! GI: So Harker there made his intentions clear, but there's also the matter of points and scores. SK: Puroresu-gun almost got a clean sweep here, by the time the main event got under way, I was almost certain Kiyotaka would win that too. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45613" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Puroresu-gun: 10 Coast to Coast: 6 Seven Samurai: 2</div></div></blockquote>

Shozo Kawamata: Black Canvas Grappling returned to the Shimonoseki Hall in Chugoku and attending fans were treated to an exciting show from start to finish. GI: Two established tag teams faced off in the opening bout, as Shiga & Miyake fought against Muscle Blasters. SK: Always a pleasure to see these teams perform and tonight was no different. GI: The master/apprentice team was the one who got the win in the end and it was done in spectacular fashion, when rookie Miyake knocked out Serizawa with his trademark kick finisher. In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Shiga & Miyake defeated Muscle Blasters in 9:41 when Motoyuki Miyake defeated MUSCLE Serizawa by pinfall with a Knock Out Kick. Rating: C- Let's hear what the winners had to say after the match: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="7VXjYUs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7VXjYUs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="S5oggAX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/S5oggAX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Shiga: I've always wrestled every match I was in like my life depended upon it. Tonight was no different as as I'm hitting the tail end of my career, it's even more important for me to put on the best performances that I can, as a final farewell to fans. Miyake: I'm very happy we got the win and I'm happy for the two points we got for our group, they are sorely needed as we try to catch up to the rest. GI: Speaking of the Seven Samurai catching up, that's exactly what they did in both matches their members were in, as up next Funakoshi and Yoriie Ippitsusai defeated Conner Threeepwood and the massive sumoka Naozane Goto. SK: Of course, the BCG World Heavyweight champion had a hard time trying to lift Goto for his finisher, so he smartly changed his approach to force a submission victory. In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Funakoshi and Yoriie Ippitsusai defeated Naozane Goto and Conner Threepwood in 8:26 when Funakoshi defeated Naozane Goto by submission. Rating: C We were able to get a statement from both men once they made their way backstage: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="8jfbhLn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8jfbhLn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="IV914xI.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IV914xI.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Funakoshi: Young Goto brings a lot of power to his matches and I respect that, but he has yet to learn that there is more to puroresu than just that. Ippitsusai: It's never easy trying to keep up with wrestlers like the ones I was in the ring with tonight, but I did my best and I'm glad we were able to win our match. GI: In the main event, Bunrakuken Torii and Bulldozer Brandon Smith faced off one on one, their second only encounter since September of 2016. SK: A hard fought battle and one that really could have gone either way as the two competitors kept hitting bigger and bigger moves. GI: Indeed, so when Torii was able to use Smith's momentum against him and reverse into a roll up, the finish did actually feel out of nowhere. In a decent match, Bunrakuken Torii defeated Bulldozer Brandon Smith in 20:40 by pinfall with a roll up. Rating: C- Confident after his victory over arguably BCG's top gaijin wrestler, the leader of Puroresu-gun got on the mic: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="D4Mz47n.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/D4Mz47n.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Torii: Puroresu-gun and myself personally, we have pledged to bring change to this company. Match by match, point by point, show by show, title by title, we do just that. As the nation rebuilds from the ashes, so too will Black Canvas Grappling. GI: So at the end of the show, Seven Samurai were the ones bringing the most points home, while Coast to Coast were stuck at zero. SK: Been quite some time since Seven Samurai looked so strong in a single night. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45613" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Puroresu-gun: 12 Coast to Coast: 6 Seven Samurai: 6</div></div></blockquote>

Shozo Kawamata: Some exciting matches and big developments tonight leading up to the show, but let's take it match by match. GI: After last Thursday's good showing for Seven Samurai, their representatives picked up two more points for the group in the opening match as Yoshi Taku and Shuzo Utagawa defeated Reynolds and Matsumoto of Puroresu-gun. SK: Despite the presence of two highly skilled competitors, it was the young lions that wrapped it up in just under ten minutes, with Utagawa slapping the Sleeper Hold on Matsumoto. In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Yoshinaka Taku and Shuzo Utagawa defeated Rob Reynolds and Kyuichi Matsumoto in 10:11 when Shuzo Utagawa defeated Kyuichi Matsumoto by submission with a Sleeper Hold. Rating: C- GI: Neither team was in the mood for post-match statements, so onto the second match of the night, newcomer Sterling Whitlock against rookie sensation Motoyuki Miyake. SK: A hard fought match that really stole the show, Miyake fought with everything he had but once he got hit with the Whitlock's End, it was just too much for him to recover from. In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Sterling Whitlock defeated Motoyuki Miyake in 13:42 by pinfall with a Whitlock's End. Rating: C A pretty disrespectful Whitlock made some sharp statements once he was backstage: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="dVZrivn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dVZrivn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Whitlock: Tonight I proved this Miyake fellow is nothing without his big grandpa Shiga to look out for him. I mean, I was with PGHW, did anyone ever doubt how this match would end? GI: Some pretty heavy words from Whitlock there and the winner of the main event seemed to be on the same wavelength. SK: Truth is things got really interesting once he got on the mic, but that's not to say the match that preceded his statement was a throwaway. Far from it, especially since he fought veteran Toshi Taku. GI: Taku sr. gave him a run for his money, but Spillane was just too fast and energetic for the old timer. After working the legs throughout the match, once he got the Kneeling Boston Crab locked in, Taku had no choice but to tap out. In a decent match, Storm Spillane defeated Toshinobu Taku in 16:25 by submission with a Kneeling Boston Crab. Rating: C- Fans were in for an exciting announcement from Spillane after the match was over: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="1fN7bAM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1fN7bAM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Spillane: Tonight I beat one half of the former tag team champions. Next week, I'll beat the other half. That means you, Yoshinobu. And once I've defeated the National champion, I'll be cashing in Puroresu-gun's opportunity earned in December via the point system, to face the World champion in the main event of Heritage! GI: What an announcement that was and what a main event it will be, Funakoshi versus Storm Spillane for the BCG World title! SK: He will have to face Yoshinaka Taku before that though and I'm certain the BCG National champion would love to rob Spillane of some steam before he goes on to face the leader of his faction. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45613" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Puroresu-gun: 14 Seven Samurai: 8 Coast to Coast: 6</div></div></blockquote>

<div style="text-align:center;">BCG Heritage Tour Thursday, W3 of January 2017 Hall of Nagahama, Kinki Attendance: 300 (sold out) Show Rating: C <img alt="hzVDAZt.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hzVDAZt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="dJEmwRw.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dJEmwRw.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Goemon Inoue: It's Goemon Inoue and Shozo Kawamata once again, bringing you the latest from BCG's Heritage tour. Shozo Kawamata: A packed venue tonight in Kinki and fans in attendance got exactly what they came for, the best puroresu they could get, courtesy of Black Canvas Grappling. GI: The show opened with the leader of Puroresu-gun and one of his main lieutenants as Torii and Horigoshi clashed with the team of Shiga & Miyake. SK: Despite not teaming up on a regular basis, Torii and Horigoshi were able to get the win thanks to a decapitating Lariat on young lion Motoyuki Miyake. In a decent match, Bunrakuken Torii and Yuki Horigoshi defeated Shiga & Miyake in 14:13 when Yuki Horigoshi defeated Motoyuki Miyake by pinfall with a Yuki Rush Lariat. Rating: C Backstage, Torii and Horigoshi had the following statement to make: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="D4Mz47n.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/D4Mz47n.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="Vi9pn5n.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/Vi9pn5n.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Torii: Shiga and Miyake are a strong team, despite age and inexperience keeping them back. Still, they are no match for me and '100% Machine'. Horigoshi: You heard last week about our group cashing in its shot, this month we're topping the scorecards again and we won't stop until all the gold is with our camp. GI: Next up were the Tag Team champions against the team of Double K and although the titles weren't on the line, Kiyotaka and Katou fought like they would in a proper title match. SK: Brody and Matsushita did not dominate the match like they would have liked, but they still kept it pretty short, wrapping it up in just under six and a half minutes. In a decent match, Partnership Of Pain defeated Double K in 6:20 when Rokuemon Matsushita defeated Kiyotaka by pinfall with an One-Handed Choke Slam. Rating: C Apparently the champions had aggression to spare after the match, as they shoved people aside on their way backstage and refused to make any comments. GI: In the semi main event, Animal Harker made his second successful defense of the Challengers Series title against the seasoned Ippitsusai, earning the second medallion on his quest for a National title match. SK: Harker will probably making his third defense next week so he can challenge in time for Heritage. In a poor match, Animal Harker defeated Yoriie Ippitsusai in 10:58 by pinfall with a Stump Piledriver. Animal Harker makes defence number 2 of his BCG Challengers Series title. Rating: D This is what the champion had to say after he was handed the second medallion: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="1ILTzlE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1ILTzlE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="YlaqMND.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/YlaqMND.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="3rJ5hD0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/3rJ5hD0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Harker: Just one more win left... I'll admit, I liked Storm's approach the way he put it on Tuesday. So since I'm looking to face Yoshi Taku for the National title, I might as well make that first defense against his father! GI: Truly the son has surpassed the father if people want to face him first in order to get to Yoshinaka Taku. SK: A wise comment. GI: As for the main event, BCG World champion Funakoshi managed to get another big win over Puroresu-gun's Rob Reynolds in a very physical contest. SK: Reynolds is one of three new faces brought in this month and Funakoshi was well aware of what was at stake here, as was apparent from his post-match speech to the fans. In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Funakoshi defeated Rob Reynolds in 20:41 by pinfall with a Butterfly Backbreaker. Rating: B- <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="8jfbhLn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8jfbhLn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Funakoshi: Two nights ago, Storm Spillane challenged me to a match at Heritage for the Black Canvas Grappling World title. Tonight I showed him and everyone else what they can expect, when I beat one of his gaijin friends in this ring. I am ready to wage war for this title. GI: And with this, it's time to look at the scores for this month. SK: Despite the main event loss, Puroresu-gun are still on top, while Seven Samurai have been closing the distance, now tied with Coast to Coast. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45613" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Puroresu-gun: 16 Seven Samurai: 10 Coast to Coast: 10</div></div></blockquote>

<div style="text-align:center;">BCG Heritage Tour Tuesday, W4 of January 2017 Shizuoka Sports Hall, Chubu Attendance: 300 (sold out) Show Rating: D+ <img alt="hzVDAZt.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hzVDAZt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="dJEmwRw.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dJEmwRw.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Goemon Inoue: It's big show week as we're in the final one of January! I'm Goemon Inoue, joined as always by Shozo Kawamata to bring you all the latest developments in Black Canvas Grappling! Shozo Kawamata: In the fast lane for this month's Heritage show and some very interesting developments as we get near it! GI: Rob Reynolds and Kyuichi Matsumoto of Puroresu-gun teamed up in the opening bout to take on the veteran-novice pairing of Yoriie Ippitsusai and Shuzo Utagawa, representing the Seven Samurai. SK: Samurai already have a great similar team in Shiga & Miyake, but that was to appear later in the show. GI: Reynolds really stole the show with his high impact kicks, but Utagawa and Ippitsusai smartly lured him in, playing possum and bloating his ego to make him think he'd soon get an easy win. SK: It worked too, Matsumoto had very limited time in the ring and by the time he did, his opponents made a surprise comeback to make short work of him. In a poor match, Yoriie Ippitsusai and Shuzo Utagawa defeated Rob Reynolds and Kyuichi Matsumoto in 10:24 when Shuzo Utagawa defeated Kyuichi Matsumoto by submission with a Sleeper Hold. Rating: D We were able to get a statement from the winning team just before the second match kicked off: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="IV914xI.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/IV914xI.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="dlVXejX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dlVXejX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Ippitsusai: Tonight I showed I still have fight left in me. I took all of Reynolds' hits and never faltered, like a true samurai. Utagawa: It wasn't just skill that brought us victory, it was focus and a cool head. Our opponents fell victims to their own overconfidence. GI: As mentioned before, Shiga & Miyake were set to do battle next, against Muscle Blasters. SK: Two teams with excellent skills and chemistry, by this point also familiar to teaming up with each other, this match was as exciting as one could expect. GI: Ikoma looked hellbent on pinning Shiga to prove a point, but it was Miyake who stepped up his performance to get the victory, knocking out Serizawa with a huge head kick. In a decent match, Shiga & Miyake defeated Muscle Blasters in 10:08 when Motoyuki Miyake defeated MUSCLE Serizawa by pinfall with a Knock Out Kick. Rating: C- It was a costly victory and the winners were exhausted, but they still were kind enough to make a quick comment for us: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="7VXjYUs.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/7VXjYUs.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="S5oggAX.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/S5oggAX.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Shiga: Heritage is coming up this Friday and this young man here is my heritage to Black Canvas. You all saw what he can do and sky's the limit for him, I'm very proud. Miyake: Praise from Shiga-sama is praise of the highest sort. I am overwhelmed with joy if my effort makes him think this way of me. GI: Toshinobu Taku seems to be on a downward spiral as a singles competitor and after losing to Storm Spillane last week, this time he lost to Sterling Whitlock in the co-main event. SK: Toshi has a lot of things in his head the way things have evolved and his son facing Spillane in the main event only added pressure to him. GI: Whitlock should be proud for this win and so should his mentor, Alexander Robinson. In a decent match, Sterling Whitlock defeated Toshinobu Taku in 13:49 by pinfall with a Whitlock's End. Rating: D+ Once again, Whitlock was both confident and disrespectful in his post-match statement: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="dVZrivn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dVZrivn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Whitlock: Young Lions? I beat them. Old timers? I beat them too. Is this the best Black Canvas has to throw at me? What more do I have to prove to get a shot at gold? GI: Speaking of gold, Storm Spillane was in the main event against Yoshinaka Taku and he'd promised he'd beat him before facing Funakoshi at Heritage. SK: No gold was on the line here though, despite Yoshi Taku being the BCG National champion. There will be gold on the line at Heritage however, as Spillane will be fighting for the BCG World title! GI: And a dangerous challenger he'll be, as he was able to score a victory over our National champion after a hellacious battle that lasted nearly half an hour! SK: His victory will be tainted though by his actions leading up to it as he cheated to win and fans were furious! In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Storm Spillane defeated Yoshinaka Taku in 25:12 by submission with a Kneeling Boston Crab after blatantly cheating. Rating: C- Fans were so angered, Spillane could barely be heard over the sold-out audience booing him: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="1fN7bAM.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1fN7bAM.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Spillane: Shut your mouths and hear me out! When I beat this kid's dad, I promised I'd beat him too and I did just that! I also promised I'll beat your champion at Heritage for the big title and once again, I'll do just that! Might wanna get comfortable with the idea till then and if not, boo me all you want, but I will be champion! GI: Spillane's title shot is a result of Puroresu-gun winning the point race in December, so let's take a look at how the score is this month. SK: With only one tour show left, it looks like Coast to Coast won't be able to take the top spot. Puroresu-gun are still on top, but Seven Samurai are right behind them! <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45613" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Puroresu-gun: 20 Seven Samurai: 14 Coast to Coast: 10</div></div></blockquote>

<div style="text-align:center;">BCG Heritage Tour Thursday, W4 of January 2017 Kochi Halls, Shikoku Attendance: 300 (sold out) Show Rating: C- <img alt="hzVDAZt.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/hzVDAZt.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="dJEmwRw.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/dJEmwRw.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Goemon Inoue: Hello fans of Black Canvas Grappling, Goemon Inoue here with Shozo Kawamata, bringing you a breakdown of the final tour show before Heritage. Shozo Kawamata: Everything has now fallen into place and let's take it match by match to find out how it happened. GI: 3 on 3 action for the opening match, with Coast to Coast bringing the Tag Team champions alongside Eikichi Itou, against Double K and Matsumoto of Puroresu-gun. SK: An obvious size and power mismatch there and of course the big men exploited it to get the win, with the champions essentially offering the pin to their young lion teammate. In a bout that had decent wrestling but little heat, Coast to Coast (Giant Brody, Rokuemon Matsushita and Eikichi Itou) defeated Puroresu-gun (Kiyotaka, Gidayu Katou and Kyuichi Matsumoto) in 10:22 when Eikichi Itou defeated Kyuichi Matsumoto by pinfall with an Itou Bomb. Rating: D No statement from the winners after the match, they were in a mood to continue beating people so no one dared approach them backstage. GI: Onward to tag team action, with Threepwood & Goto teaming up once again after apparently functioning well as a team. SK: This time the competition was pretty intense though, as Shuzo Utagawa teamed up with the leader of his faction and reigning BCG World champion, Funakoshi! GI: Funakoshi carried his young lion teammate to victory, smartly focusing his offense on the smaller Threepwood, who he hit with the Butterfly Backbreaker for the pin. In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Funakoshi and Shuzo Utagawa defeated Conner Threepwood and Naozane Goto in 10:02 when Funakoshi defeated Conner Threepwood by pinfall with a Butterfly Backbreaker. Rating: C Funakoshi voiced his thoughts about his upcoming match at Heritage once this match was over: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="8jfbhLn.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/8jfbhLn.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Funakoshi: Storm Spillane, you come into this company, think yourself a great wrestler because PGHW once signed you for a tour, use up the points others had been scoring before you even arrived, cheat to win and you think you are going to take the World title from me? Not happening, not at Heritage, not ever. GI: On to the night's singles matchups and Bulldozer Brandon Smith was in the ring, not seen for quite some time. SK: Smith made a return to action showing he's still in great shape when he beat '100% Machine' Yuki Horigoshi. In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Bulldozer Brandon Smith defeated Yuki Horigoshi in 14:10 by pinfall with a Backdrop Driver. Rating: C Smith used a moment on the mic to wish his American Demolition Mk.II partner good luck. <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="POBEZKK.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/POBEZKK.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Smith: I don't give a damn about you fans, so I wanna talk to my good friend and partner, Scott "Animal" Harker. You got this, buddy. Come give 'em hell. GI: And hell did Harker give indeed! SK: And not just against anyone, he beat BCG's Quadruple Crown champion in "Machine Gun" Bunrakuken Torii! GI: It was one hell of a fight and Harker only got it via roll up, but that still earned him the third medallion for the BCG Challengers Series title, allowing him to go on and face Yoshinaka Taku for the National title at Heritage! In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Animal Harker defeated Bunrakuken Torii in 24:12 by pinfall with a fast roll up. Animal Harker makes defense number 3 of his BCG Challengers Series title. Rating: C+ Obviously happy and somewhat relieved, Harker got to say a few words after the referee handed him the final medallion: <div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="3rJ5hD0.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/3rJ5hD0.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="iXTaWdA.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/iXTaWdA.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> <img alt="1ILTzlE.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/1ILTzlE.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="xWpEkIV.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/xWpEkIV.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /><img alt="YlaqMND.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/YlaqMND.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></div> Harker: Last one in the bag, baby! I beat a former Challengers Series champion, a faction leader, hell, I beat a former World champion tonight! Yoshi Taku, your fate ain't gonna be any different! The title will be mine! GI: So that means we'll see two titles defended at Heritage, Funakoshi versus Spillane for the World title, as well as Harker versus Taku for the National title. SK: Both look to be great matches and so does the card for the show, but first let's look at the final scores for this month's tour. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45613" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;">Puroresu-gun: 20 Seven Samurai: 16 Coast to Coast: 16</div></div></blockquote> GI: Yet again, Puroresu-gun top the boards! SK: This month it made sense, they were the largest group so they were in more matches and had more opportunities to earn points. GI: We'll have to wait and see who will use the title opportunity earned and what title they'll be gunning for, but Puroresu-gun will surely want to wait and see what the landscape will look like after Heritage. SK: So without further delay, here's the final card for tomorrow's Heritage show. <blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="45613" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><img alt="BpeHnUo.jpg" data-src="https://i.imgur.com/BpeHnUo.jpg" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /> Main event BCG World title match Funakoshi vs Storm Spillane Co-main event BCG National title match Yoshinaka Taku vs Animal Harker Triple Threat BCG Challengers Series title match Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs Sterling Whitlock vs Yoriie Ippitsusai Feature match "Machine Gun" Bunrakuken Torii vs Toshinobu Taku Tag Team match BCG World Tag Team titles match Partnership of Pain (Brody & Matsushita) vs Double K (Kiyotaka & Katou) #1 Contenders match Muscle Blasters (Ikoma & Serizawa) vs Shiga & Miyake vs Threepwood & Goto Free for All opener Rob Reynolds vs Yuki Horigoshi vs Eikichi Itou vs Kyuichi Matsumoto vs Shuzo Utagawa</div></div></blockquote>

Rob Reynolds vs Yuki Horigoshi vs Eikichi Itou vs Kyuichi Matsumoto vs Shuzo Utagawa

Free for all action in the opener to warm up the fans and Puroresu-gun had the advantage with three of their members (Reynolds, Horigoshi and Matsumoto) against Coast to Coast's Eikichi Itou and Utagawa representing the Seven Samurai. Showing little respect for concepts like honor and faction allegiance though, gaijin Rob Reynolds wasn't shy about pinning Matsumoto if it meant winning, a decision that is bound to cause some internal issues for the overblown stable.

In a poor match, Rob Reynolds defeated Eikichi Itou, Kyuichi Matsumoto, Shuzo Utagawa and Yuki Horigoshi in 9:37 when Rob Reynolds defeated Kyuichi Matsumoto by pinfall with a Real Deal Rocker.

A team from each BCG faction in this elimination match for a chance at the World Tag Team titles and a pretty exciting bout altogether, this one began with the shocking elimination of Threepwood & Goto when Blast Ikoma caught the charging former sumoka into a head crushing DDT for the pin. The remaining two teams went at it sparing no aggression or fighting spirit, but in the end Miyake got the win with a big roundhouse kick to the head of MUSCLE Serizawa.

In a bout that had decent wrestling but didn't have much heat, Shiga & Miyake defeated Muscle Blasters and Threepwood & Goto in 9:31; the order of elimination was Threepwood & Goto first, and then Muscle Blasters.

BCG World Tag Team titles match

Partnership of Pain (Coast to Coast) vs Double K (Puroresu-gun)

A surprisingly good match, showcasing the vast improvement of both teams in it as Partnership of Pain made their third defence of the titles against the up and coming challengers Double K.

In a bout that had good wrestling and a decent reaction from the crowd, Partnership Of Pain defeated Double K in 10:18 when Rokuemon Matsushita defeated Gidayu Katou by pinfall with an One-Handed Choke Slam. Partnership Of Pain make defence number 3 of their BCG World Tag Team titles.

Rating:

"Machine Gun" Bunrakuken Torii (Puroresu-gun) vs Toshinobu Taku (Seven Samurai)

No surprises here, the ageing Toshinobu Taku put out another great performance but ultimately lost to the former BCG World champion after a hard hitting, physical contest.

In a decent match, Bunrakuken Torii defeated Toshinobu Taku in 13:48 by pinfall with a Spinning Forearm Smash.

Rating:

BCG Challengers Series title match

Bulldozer Brandon Smith (Coast to Coast) vs Sterling Whitlock (Puroresu-gun) vs Yoriie Ippitsusai (Seven Samurai)

After many chances at a singles title but none of them bearing any fruit, Smith was hellbent on making this one count. Smartly focusing his offense on the veteran Ippitsusai, he still made the mistake of underestimating hungry rookie Sterling Whitlock, who put up a great fight and eventually managed to steal the pin.

In a decent match, Sterling Whitlock defeated Bulldozer Brandon Smith and Yoriie Ippitsusai in 13:53 when Sterling Whitlock defeated Yoriie Ippitsusai by pinfall with a Whitlock's End. Sterling Whitlock wins the BCG Challengers Series title.

BCG National title match

Yoshinaka Taku (Seven Samurai) vs Animal Harker (Coast to Coast)

As proclaimed, Animal Harker cashed in his Challengers Series title shot for a chance at Yoshinaka Taku and the recently introduced BCG National title. While he did put up a valiant effort, it was futile against the unyielding Taku Jr, who sealed his first defence of the strap with a Full Nelson Bomb on the challenger.

In a decent match, Yoshinaka Taku defeated Animal Harker in 21:04 by pinfall with a Full Nelson Bomb. Yoshinaka Taku makes defence number 1 of his BCG National title.

BCG World title match

Funakoshi (Seven Samurai) vs Storm Spillane (Puroresu-gun)

Arguably the best match Black Canvas Grappling has produced in the last couple of years, this half hour epic battle between Funakoshi and Spillane had fans on the edge of their seats as it unfolded. Between supremely stiff strikes, bone crushing submission holds, earth shaking suplexes and head-first drops, the two men went at it with everything they had. Spillane gave the defending champion one of the biggest challenges he has ever faced in recent memory, but Funakoshi's unbeatable samurai spirit carried him through wave after wave of pain and punishment mere men were never meant to go through, let alone endure.

In a bout that had superb wrestling and good heat, Funakoshi defeated Storm Spillane in 30:43 by pinfall with a Butterfly Backbreaker. Funakoshi makes defence number 5 of his BCG World title.

Black Canvas Grappling

TagMania 4 tour press conference

http://i.imgur.com/CO7PSWX.jpg

Did the three recently signed gaijin just pull out the heist of the century? That's been the question on everyone's minds after the TagMania 4 press conference. Sterling Whitlock announced he will be cashing in Puroresu-gun's point win for a shot at Funakoshi's BCG World title, before he was joined by the man who did just that before him in Storm Spillane. Asked about whether they have been taking advantage of Puroresu-gun since arrival, the two men were joined by Rob Reynolds, whose actions at Heritage have been considered traitorous to say the least, only for the trio to announce their departure from the stable. Dubbed since "The Rogue Troopers" as a nod to Puroresu-gun's militaristic theme, the three men also announced they have signed touring contracts with PGHW, salting the wound of their 'betrayal'.

The shock of the Rogue Troopers' announcement still in the air, the TagMania trophies were presented next, followed by an announcement of the teams that will be competing in this year's elimination tournament.

American Demolition Mk. II

Bulldozer Brandon Smith & Animal Harker

Winners of last year's tournament American Demolition Mk.II will be entering this year again. After a year of big singles title matches but no actual title to show for it other than Harker's brief stint as BCG Challengers Series champion, the duo has all the motivation they need for the back to back win.

Team Taku

Toshinobu Taku & Yoshinaka Taku

Former BCG World Tag Team champions Team Taku will be entering the tournament as well, after missing it last year due to being the title holders at the time. The father-son pairing has pretty good odds at winning as long as they can deal with the pressure of Toshinobu's age and Yoshinaka's potential BCG National title challengers.

Shiga & Miyake

Masayuki Shiga & Motoyuki Miyake

After a great 2016 for both men, the veteran-rookie pairing of Masayuki Shiga and Motoyuki Miyake will be entering this year's TagMania tournament looking to best Shiga's physical decline as well as Miyake's inexperience. The duo would like nothing more than a big win here and perhaps the BCG World Tag Team titles next, a major boost to Miyake's career as well as a big final farewell from the veteran Shiga.

Muscle Blasters

Blast Ikoma & MUSCLE Serizawa

Another team formed after TagMania 3 and entering the tournament for the first time, Muscle Blasters had a shaky 2016 with an unsuccessful attempt at the BCG World Tag Team title holders as their highlight. Blast Ikoma and MUSCLE Serizawa will need to brave the odds, as this year's participants are all much more dangerous than those of last year.

Double K

Kyiotaka & Gidayu Katou

Double K may have failed to win the BCG World Tag Team titles at Heritage, but they would like nothing more than a tournament victory leading to a second attempt. Young, skilled and hungry, the pairing of Kiyotaka and Gidayou Katou may very well be the dark horse in this tournament.

Threepwood & Goto

Conner Threepwood & Naozane Goto

The most recent tag team to be forged in Black Canvas Grappling, the unlikely pairing of gaijin technician Conner Threepwood and former sumoka Naozane Goto has yet to find their footing, but participating in the tournament should be a huge step towards them gelling together.

The Ring Generals

Dean Waldorf & Marv Statler

Returning to Black Canvas Grappling after participating in last year's TagMania 3 tournament, the Ring Generals will be hoping to do better this time. The team of Dean Waldorf and Marv Statler have long been considered the premium tag team in the US independent circuit, but despite their reputation and skill were eliminated in the first stage of last year's tournament by Matsuzawa & Shikitei. This year they have promised to be better prepared and may very well surprise both fans and opponents.

Sakata & Kawano

Battle Sakata & Kimi Kawano

Warrior Engine XXV may be known for hardcore deathmatches, but it is also the home of legitimately tough hard hitters, as was evidenced last year when The Berzerkers made it to the finals of the TagMania 3 tournament, only to be defeated by American Demolition Mk.II. This year it will be veteran Battle Sakata and young lion Kimi Kawano representing the promotion, unofficially of course, since Sakata spectacularly quit the promotion in late September 2016.
