Pro Wrestling SAISHO: Fufill Your Destiny (C-Verse)

Chisoku · May 19, 2019

A Letter from Mito Miwa

Greetings readers, and welcome to Pro Wrestling SAISHO, where the greatest wrestlers around the world come to fulfill their Destiny. It has been nearly two years since I purchased the company and set it upon its current path, and 2016 is going to be a very exciting year for SAISHO. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we have planned, but in the meantime I have a few things that I can talk about.

Firstly, you’ll notice we won’t be running any shows in January this year. We will be taking the month off and giving our workers a chance to train for the A-1 Grand Prix tournament, which this year will feature a deep 32 man bracket in single elimination format. The tournament will begin in February and ride through March on the first tour of our brand new Touring Schedule. Our off months will be January, May and September. We look to blend the past and the future of Puroresu here, and therefore will adapt the traditional touring schedules.

How will we look to the future however? Well, unlike the rest of the country, which divides its workers based on their size into Junior Heavyweight and Heavyweight brackets, we will be running a purely Openweight roster. That means that any man can come and challenge for any title, so long as he has earned his right. We have made several signings of hot free agents and a handful of hopeful Young Lions who will be looking to prove themselves in our system, including the sons of Canadian megastars Alex and Steve DeColt, who look to sharpen their skills in Japan so that one day they can revolutionize Canadian wrestling with the influence of the best wrestling in the entire world.

Along with the DeColt cousins, we have added the following free agents to our already fantastic roster;

Young Lions

-Gidayu “The Lariat” Katou

-Motoyuki Miyake

-MUSCLE Serizawa

-Omezo Shikitei who looks ready to break out at any time.

We have also added Evil Spirit, who looks to prove his worth, and former INSPIRE prospects Hitomaro Suzuki and Tornado Nagai, who are both polished workers looking to make a name for themselves. We have also had workers from several different promotions from all over the country (and the world) who are looking for a chance to prove themselves in the A-1 Grand Prix as this years tournament should be an extremely exciting affair!

Thank you for following our journey friends, and I hope you enjoy what is to come!

OOC: This is my first crack at something like this. I'm a huge Puro fan, and in C-Verse I do tend to stick to Japan, though I've never ran Saisho before. Hopefully people will enjoy this, and hopefully I'll be able to stick to it!

It would have all three titles be put on the line, and would show off the new signings who would participate in the A-1 tournament.

Azumamaro Kita vs Fujio Narahashi

Jayson Van Pelt vs Edd Stone

Victoria, British Columbia, Canada

<div style="text-align:left;">Alex DeColt's face was completely red, gritting his teeth as his age began to show on his face from the scowl that appeared to be unmoving. It was rare for Dylan to see his father this way, but he knew about his temper and about his ability to hold a grudge. Dylan was aware that his father wasn't happy when he had heard he had been training with Calvin behind his father's back. His dad hadn't even been in the same room as Calvin's father, "Uncle Steve" since he had walked out on CGC after getting into a massive fight. Alex and Steve had completely avoided one another, but that didn't mean that Dylan and Calvin would want to do the same. The two were close when they were kids, and when Dylan's parents split up he took the opportunity to visit Calvin more, saying he was staying with his mother while in reality he was training with Calvin and Uncle Steve. Steve had been opposed to it at first, not wanting to make Alex and more angry at him, but at the same time he relished the opportunity to mould Alex's son into one of the best wrestlers in the world, and he wasn't going to pass up that chance.

Needless to say, Alex eventually found out. He didn't stop Dylan, as he was happy to see the boys getting into the family business, but at the same time he wasn't happy about it. He had his first phone call with Steve since the incident due to this, and his anger stemmed from Steve's discussion with him.

"So..." Alex sounded calm on the surface, but Dylan knew that it would be nothing for him to bubble over, his father's temper being legendary. "Your...uncle...tells me that he wants to send you and Calvin to Japan. Says he convinced Edd freaking Stone of all people to go with you...I always told your uncle Ricky that Edd was bad news, and sure enough he gets fired from TCW, the Stones won't take him back, but for some reason...Steve...ugh" He visibly sighed as Dylan stood his ground, long blonde hair falling in front og his face before he brushed it away. "Steve thinks it's a good idea for that degenerate to take care of you kids. I don't know what he's thinking...he always had stupid ideas but this one takes the cake."

"Look dad." Alex took a seat and removed his glasses, cleaning them and shaking his head. "Uncle Ricky and Uncle Jack are locked into contracts here. Edd is the only person who Uncle Steve trusts to take us there who isn't locked into a contract keeping them here. He says it's a great opportunity for us, and we can learn a lot from going there..."

"I don't like it Dylan. I don't like you being with Edd Stone and his son in a competently different continent...why can't you just come work for CGC? If Cal is half the wrestler his dad is he can get into the Stone promotion and the two of you could end up leading the two top promotions in Canada one day." Dylan's face soured at the suggestion.

"We are going to Japan because there's no way you'll let me work for the Stones and you won't let Calvin come work for CGC because he's Uncle Steve's son. We want to work together Dad, we want to get better. We're going to Japan to study under Mito Miwa. Edd set it up already." Alex chuckled at this.

"Mito Miwa? The Pride Warrior eh?" His anger seemed to fade slightly. "Couldn't get Kudo and Burning Hammer to bring you in? Too bad. There's never been a DeColt in Japan, that's usually Stone territory...but if you're willing to put in the work in SAISHO then it's up to you...They're awful to their "young lions" over there though, they'll beat the hell out of you kids. I hope you know what you're getting into."

Dylan seemed shocked. He had expected that conversation to be much more difficult and negative than it had turned out to be. Maybe this was a step towards him and Steve getting back on talking terms? He doubted it...but it didn't hurt to think it.</div>

HiPlus · May 19, 2019

SAISHO is a company outside of Aus I partly know about due to the Diamon Dogs. So I am keen to follow this.

Suzuki, Katou & Miyaki vs Sekozawa, Arakaki & Serizawa

I love Suzuki's render so there is that.

The Night Terrors vs The DeColt Pedigree

I really want to back the veterans here but new talent and needing momentum.

Jayson Van Pelt vs Edd Stone

I dunno mentioned Edd Stones name during the run down makes me think he has more of a place.

The Hurt vs Akamatsu & Nakazawa

Named team.

Musashi & Shikitei vs Nagai & Evil Spirit

I have used Evil Spirit before and I love the render there so that's my backing. But I can see it going the other way based on the Shikitei hype.

Torii, Taku & Okamoto vs Kawagishi, Tsubouchi & Yanagimoto

Draw.. I dunno they are from other companies or formerly from them? Don't want to cause a superiority for one or the other.

The Diamond Dogs vs Mizoguchi & KAZ

These guys are why I am here. They win or we riot. Both are going to develop to be fine workers and I love the knew renders. (Though I prefer Motty having that more narrower angular face.)

Tobei Sugimura vs Ogai Miki

Firstly he looks awesome, secondly can't have a fighting champion lose his first fight. Thirdly Ogai has a punchable face.

Azumamaro Kita vs Fujio Narahashi

Feels like a redemption story almost ready to be wrapped up. Sure we miss that, but a new champion to kick things off starts with a fresh slate.

CGN91 · May 19, 2019

Love me more puro diaries here, especially when it's not GCG, BCG or the big ones.

Suzuki, Katou & Miyaki vs Sekozawa, Arakaki & Serizawa

- I think it's more than a sign that Miyake and Katou are in the same team.

The Night Terrors vs The DeColt Pedigree

- Tbh i do not know De Colts:eek:

Jayson Van Pelt vs Edd Stone

- Just like the same with the match above. I'd only played in Japan so far

The Hurt vs Akamatsu & Nakazawa

- Love the combination of the two. Huge Nigel fan, but i can cleary see that they can lose, too.

Musashi & Shikitei vs Nagai & Evil Spirit

- Shikitei isn't ready to win matches.

Torii, Taku & Okamoto vs Kawagishi, Tsubouchi & Yanagimoto

- I don't know what you'r doing with the EXODUS guys, but i think Torii and Okamoto are something special.

The Diamond Dogs vs Mizoguchi & KAZ

- Can see both.

Tobei Sugimura vs Ogai Miki

- Man i love Tobei. Miki isn't ready now to win that one. Or maybe he is? <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/tongue.png.ceb643b2956793497cef30b0e944be28.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

Azumamaro Kita vs Fujio Narahashi

- Hard one. At my dynasty they're a team, but in SAISHO they're enemies, rivals, whatsoever. I can see a Narahashi win, but i do not know if you're going to pull the win at the very first show of your dynasty.

Good luck with the diary, interesting to see SAISHO back on a touring schedule, given MJM's approach, but it makes (financial) sense I guess, the only time I tried running that company I went bankrupt real quick doing a single show per month.

Suzuki, Katou & Miyaki vs Sekozawa, Arakaki & Serizawa

Three of my favourite guys in Japan in that team

The Night Terrors vs The DeColt Pedigree

They've won the GP and are more popular in Japan, plus I'm not sure if the DeColts are still Young Lions

Jayson Van Pelt vs Edd Stone

Not sure about Edd's pop in Japan, but he's too big to lose and you didn't bring him here to lose to the likes of Van Pelt either

The Hurt vs Akamatsu & Nakazawa

Unless an exclusive written contract has been offered from elsewhere, the Hurt win this

Musashi & Shikitei vs Nagai & Evil Spirit

Musashi is money and so is Omezo once he is no longer a Young Lion

Torii, Taku & Okamoto vs Kawagishi, Tsubouchi & Yanagimoto

Love those BCG guys to death, but I'm guessing the EX2010 guys win as they are MJM members

The Diamond Dogs vs Mizoguchi & KAZ

One of the best SAISHO tag teams

Tobei Sugimura vs Ogai Miki

Mr.FaceLetters should win, the only reason not to pull the trigger is he tends to get picked up by the likes of BHOTWG

Azumamaro Kita vs Fujio Narahashi

Fujio is ace material and has the redemption story there already. Again, the only reason not to put the gold on him is he tends to get stolen by the bigger companies

Chisoku · May 19, 2019

Welcome to Pro Wrestling SAISHO's Puro Reborn!

Shunsuke Aihara and Teriuihi Inou call the action and the air is full of excitement in the sold out Muroran Hall as everyone wants to see what the new SAISHO will have to offer.

</div>

Match 1

VS

The event starts with Torajiro Sekozawa's Music playing, Arakaki & Serizawa running to the ring in their traditional black ring gear as Sekozawa plods his way to the ring. When Suzuki's music plays Miyake and Kitau storm the ring, dressed the same as the other young lions, and Katou stands right up to Sekozawa, getting into his face before Referee Watanabe pulls them apart. Katou and Serizawa start things off, and the match moves fairly quickly, each young lion getting a chance to spotlight their skills, Motoyuki Miyake looking particularly impressive as he gets Sekozawa reeling briefly. Sekozawa gets back at Miyake, however, causing him to take in Suzuki as Sekozawa tags in the fresh Arakaki. It is noted Sekozawa is favouring his left fingers, due to a botched move from Katou earlier in the match. Suzuki lights up Arakaki with a series of throws and strikes, and Katou and Miyake knock the other two to the ground and keep them destracted as Suzuki puts Arakaki in the Suzuki Lock dead in the center of the ring, causing the young lion to tap out and giving the INSPIRE Alumnai his first win for the company.

Winners: Hitomaro Suzuki, Gidayu Katou & Motoyuki Miyake

Rating: 48

</div>

Match 2

VS

It isn't long after the match wraps up that Calvin and Dylan DeColt run their way to the ring. There is no music for their entrance and they aren't wearing anything special,. dawning the black of Young Lions and showing their respect to the system that they are a part of. The eerie music of the Night Terrors plays as the two masked wrestlers advance at their slow pace, sttempting to get into the heads of the young lions. When the bell rings the young DeColts show exactly why the fans should be excited about them, the tremendous raw talent of the boys permiating throughout the match. After the 10 minute mark with Moroi out of the ring, Calvin and Dylan set up Babau for their "Pull the Trigger" finisher, Dylan moving to spear Babau through the back as Calvin hits him in the face with a spinning back elbow, but as Dylan hits the ropes, Moroi hits him with a Kendo Stick, causing him to fall as Babau catches Calvin and rolls him up by the tights for the 3 count.

Winners: The Night Terrors

Rating: 42

</div>

Match 3

VS

As the DeColts make their way to the back, an upbeat theme starts to play and Edd Stone makes his way up the ramp, meeting the boys half way and putting a hand on each of their shoulders, saying something to them before making his way to the ring. Jayson Van Pelt makes his entrance to some cheers as he has toured with the company for a while now, and the two of them begin a fast paced exciting match, showing off much of the high flying excitement that the Junior division tends to be known for. Van Pelt hits a beautiful Moonsault off of the top rope and sets Stone up for the Axe Kick, which Stone avoids, hitting a lionsault off of the ropes and quickly jumping to the top rope once more, leaping into the air and landing the devestating double foot stomp to the heart that he calls Party's Over and covering up Van Pelt for the three count to win his first match in the company.

Winner: Edd Stone

Rating: 45

</div>

Match 4

VS

The Hurt make their way to the ring, and don't want for their opponents to make it all the way up the ramp before taking the fight to them. The two tremendous atholetes take out Kinji Akamatsum, putting him through an announce table before rolling Torch Nakazawa into the ring for the official start of the match. The two of them beatdown Nakazawa, who does an amazing job of not succumbing to a 3 count and holding out long enough for a hot tag to his partner well into the match. Akamatsu lights up Robinson, and then Svennson when he is tagged in, and Nakazawa comes back in as Akamatsu and Nakazawa hit Svennson with a nasty double powerbomb for the win.

Winners: Akamatsu & Nakazawa

Rating: 49

</div>

Match 5

VS

Shikitei runs to the ring as Musashi makes his entrance, the two of them meeting and preparing in the ring for their opponents. The arena darkens and a mist fills the air as a masked figure with a scythe slowly emerges from the back, when he reaches the ring he removes the leather mask to show his painted face beneath as Evil Spirit makes his debut with his phenominal entrance. Tornado Nagai makes his way to the ring after, and the veterans get to work, Shikitei starting against Evil Spirit and showing off just how skilled the young lion is. He looked like a star through the entire match, but his overconfidence ended up costing him. He would get isolated and had to tag in Musashi. Musashi ran to the corner to dump Evil Spirit, who was ready for him and spit green mist into his eyes, causing Musashi to recoil as Nagai hit him with his Nagai Fireball, smashing him into the corner and rolling him up for the 3 count.

Winners: Tornado Nagai & Evil Spirit

Rating: 52

</div>

Match 6

VS

The next match is too difficult to highlight, as all six men in it put on an absolute clinic, the amazing strikes and technical prowess on display mixed with phenominal aerial moves made it impossible to follow every little thing that happened. The final moments of the match saw everyone get a near chance to hit their finishers, the first finally connecting when Bunrakuken Torii hit his Spinning Forearm Smash on Kawagishi, covering him for the count but having it broken up by Tsubouchi who whipped him into the corner, hitting him with his Brainbuster Suplex which was followed up by Kawagishi hitting his Diamond Dust cutter and Yanagimoto hitting his beautiful Mikado Bomb from the top turnbuckle as the others cleared the BCG workers while he got the 3 count. The crowd went absolutely balistic throughout the entire match, and it was pointed out that any one of these six men could easily win the Grand Prix title and be facing the Destiny Champion at the end of April.

Winners: Kawagishi, Tsubouchi & Yanagimoto

Rating: 66

</div>

Match 7

The first of our three title matches of the night truly highlighted what a coheesive team could do as the Diamond Dogs systematically picked apart two fantastic singles wrestlers. KAZ was clearly missing long time teammate Eien Miyamoto and Mizoguchi simply was unable to find his timing working alongside him. The Diamond Dogs took advantage of every little mistake and of the lack of experience between the two men, and when they eventually hit the Sweep DDT on Mizoguchi for the pin and the win, nobody seemed overly surprised. The best tag team in the company lifted their titles above their heads once more, hoping that one day they will have a true challenge to their titles.

Winners: The Diamond Dogs

Rating: 51

</div>

Match 8

The Fighting Champion is jumped as soon as he gets into the ring, the young lons on the side of the ring quickly pulling the title out of the ring as the much smaller Miki attempts to plant Sugimura on it with a stunning Head Scissors DDT varient. He whips Tobei into the corner and nails him with a gorgeous step up enziguri, causing the champion to fall to the ground as he quickly attempts to hit his signature Miki Miracle, quickly moving to the top rope as he gains an unbelievable amount of air, which Sugimura counters by putting his knees directly into his opponent's back on his descent. Tobei presses the advantage when he finally takes it, focusing the assault on the lower back of Miki, making it difficult for him to move. The kicks and holds that he puts Miki in make it so that when he goes to climb the ropes again his body gives out, Sugimura continuing to stretch him. Miki attempts to make a comeback, but Sugimura catches him with a Spinning Wheel Kick out of nowhere and a quick cover for the 3 count.

Winner: Tobei Sugimura

Rating: 41

</div>

Main Event

As the main event prepares to take place, after the normal traditions are copmpleted, The Black Iron Corps stand across the ring from one another, staring each other down. These two men know each other so well, having fought together as a team for the past year. Narahashi extends his hand to shake and Kita accepts, pulling him close to hug his opponent and friend as Narahashi accepts for a second, only to use the hug to his advantage to belly to belly suplex Kita over his head. The back and forth affair sees Narahashi attempting to wear Kita out enough that he will be able to put him down with a Lariat, while Kita focuses on the left arm of Narahashi, trying to put him in his signature Cross Arm Breaker. The match is a stellar showing of two of the most talented workers in SAISHO, and the ending is a back and forth of the two ducking Lariat and knock out knee attempts until Kita is finally able to have his knee connect with the side of Narahashi's head,putting him onto the ground and tying up his arm for the submission victory. When the bell rings Kita picks up Narahashi, hugging him close once again as Narahashi lifts his hand before clearing out of the ring.

Winner: Azumamaro Kita

Rating: 57

</div>

Mito Miwa approaches the ring and hands a microphone to Kita, who tells the sold out crowd that it was an honour to be able to defend his title against a friend in such a fantastic city. He is excited about the changes that the company is going through, and he cannot wait to see who will win the A-1 Grand Prix and get a shot at him at the end of April. Miwa tells everyone that this tournament will be a 32 man tournament, and that while they had already seen many of the participants tonight, there were more amazing workers who had joined the tournament to prove themselves. He pointed towards the monitor and showed off the bracket for the tournament, also noting that the tournament would start the next night and the first night would show the matches of Munemitsu Senmatsu vs Evil Spirit, Ogai Miki vs Zeshin Makioka, Jimmy Stratospheree vs Torajiro Sekozawa, and Moroi vs Bunrakuken Torii. He thanks everyone once again and bows before taking his leave of the arena.

DarK_RaideR · May 20, 2019

Very nice first show and an interesting presentation too. Was surprised to see the Night Terrors use a kendo stick in a puroresu setting, but I'm taking it as a nod to their time with IPW. Evil Spirit showing up kinda like NJPW's Evil was cool but I did feel like the whole "pre match attack on the ramp" thing was a little overused. The Grand Prix brackets are impressive, especially given the company's size and finances, so I'm excited to see how that plays out.

Grand Prix day 1

Jimmy Stratosphere vs Torajiro Sekozawa

Moroi vs Bunrakuken Torii

Munemitsu Senmatsu vs Evil Spirit

Final

Hitomaro Suzuki vs Fujio Narahashi

Tough call, great final, but since I have Suzuki beating Sugimura earlier, I'm guessing he'll chase his title while Narahashi wins the GP to go for the top prize once more.

Main Event

Jimmy Stratosphere vs Torajiro Sekozawa

The veteran Sekozawa, slowed by age, spends the majority of the match fighting off the assault of the younger Stratosphere. His patience and experience end up paying off, however, as Jimmy goes to the top rope for his signature Frog Splash, putting up his knees to block as Stratosphere crashes and burns, clutching his ribs. Sekozawa picks him up and nails him with the Dragon Suplex for the pin to advance in the tournament.

Winner: Torajiro Sekozawa

I enjoyed your fantasy booking of the tournament. I will also say in regards to your money comment, I set it up before the game so that Miwa had a generous investor to help him out a bit, otherwise I would have gone broke by the end of the month! Also quick note. I apologize for pushing this out so quickly. I want to get the tournament posted up SO I can do something special for the final and start doing a slower build moving forward. I notice most people don't put things out this way and I'm sorry! I'm just new and excited and a bit nervous.

Main Event

Munemitsu Senmatsu vs Hitomaro Suzuki

It would be difficult to follow up that previous match, but Senmatsu and Suzuki weren't going to be outdone. The Hammer and INSPIRE's Franchise Player tore one another apart in an absolute brawl between two of the best in Japan. Suzuki showed why he was considered to be the future of INSPIRE, and Senmatsu, WEXXV's Ace, showed why he had earned the reputation he had as an innovator of voilence. There was nothing particularly pretty about the match, but it was a beautiful combination of everything that made Strong Style great. The intense brawl ended when Senmatsu went for a Lariat which Suzuki sidestepped and caught with his arm, sweeping Senmatsu's leg and locking him into the Suzuki Lock. To Senmatsu's credit and a testiment to how tough he is, he stayed locked in the hold for three minutes before finally passing out from the pain as Watanabe labeled Suzuki the victor.

Winner: Hitomaro Suzuki

Rating: 58

Match 5

Fujio Narahashi vs Torajiro Sekozawa

Narahashi and Sekozawa beat the tar out of one another, the two having a lot to prove. Sekozawa refuses to aknowledge that his best days are behind him and Narahashi needs to win the A-1 one more time to get one more shot at his tag team partner Kita. Both men showed their skill and in the end the drive of Narahashi prevailed as he turned Sekozawa inside out with a Lariat and covered him for the 3 count.

Winner: Fukio Narahashi

Rating: 51

Match 4

The Hurt vs The Diamond Dogs

In an absolute shocking moment, after the Diamond Dogs looking like they would take home another win, Nigel Svensson managed to reverse Jimmy Stratosphere's Frog Splash with double knees to the ribs and then lock him into the Hyper Extension Arm Lock, forcing the tapout. He picks up a microphone and tells Stratosphere that since they're not doing anything at the A-1 Grand Prix final, they'd better prepare for a match with The Hurt for their titles.

Winner: Nigel Svensson

Rating: 42

Match 3

Stone & Shikitei v Hostile Intent (Miyake & Nagai)

Called lucky by Nagai for getting past the first round, Omezo Shikitei looked to prove himself here and he, alongside the undefeated Edd Stone, lit up their opponents with a mix of speed and power.

Winner: Omezo Shikitei

Rating: 55

Match 2

Evil Spirit, Van Pelt & Katou vs Mizoguchi & The Night Terrors

Decently quick action, Katou took the fight to everyone he was able to get his hands on and the inexperienced youngster ended up eating a Sleep Paralysis from the Night Terrors.

Winner: Evil Spirit

Rating: 44

Opening Match

Hidekazu & The DeColt Pedigree vs Sayuki, Arakaki & Serizawa

Hidekazu and Stunning Sayuki start the match in the ring, the older Hidekazu having maybe lost a step from his previous form but still looking fantastic.

Main Event

Zeshin Makioka vs SUKI

The Mauler Zeshin Makioka knew that he was going to have an uphill battle against a man tauted as the future of Japanese Wrestling, SUKI. Be that as it may, he took the fight to The Face of The Future, digging out all of the tricks he had, including high flying moves he hadn't used in years. This proved to be his downfall as SUKI caught him in midair and nailed him with a Tombstone Piledriver before locking him into the SUKI Special III for the Submission Victory.

Winner: SUKI

Rating: 73

Match 5

Bunrakuken Torii vs Musashi

Clearly frustrated from what he had seen happen to his friends, Machine Gun Torii beat Musashi up and down the ring, smashing him into the corners, nailing him with sickening elbows and forearms, and stretching him like a new pair of leather shoes.

Winner: Hitomaro Suzuki

Rating: 62

Match 3

Stone & Shikitei vs Mizoguchi & Miki

Edd Stone and Omezo Shikitei team up once more as Ogai Miki returns from a short injury.

Winner: Edd Stone

Rating: 50

Match 2

Akamatsu & Nakazawa vs The DeColt Pedigree

The former Destiny Tag Team Champions gave the DeColt cousins a test worthy of their pedigree, the four brawlers having a fun back and forth match before the expected outcome finally came to bare. The DeColt's went to set up Pull the Trigger on Nakazawa, but the veteran used his experience to move out of the way as Dylan DeColt smashed his shoulder into the corner. Torch tossed Calvin from the ring and he and Akamatsu picked up Dylan and hung him upside down before nailing him with a devestating Magma-Driver.

Winner: Torch Nakazawa

Rating: 46

Opening Match

KAZ, Miyake & Katou vs Evil Spirit, Arakai & Serizawa

Evil Spirit looked to take the wind out of KAZ's sails before he got to his second match in the tournament, but the former Destiny Champ refused to be taken out, even after taking Spirit's green mist full on to the face. He tagged to Miyake as Spirit tagged in Serizawa and in the story of their interactions so far Miyake got the better of his opponent before bringing KAZ back out to hit a Super Rana for the win.

Omezo Shikitei vs Greg Gauge

The Son of Sam Keith makes his entrance first, waiting for Shikitei to run up the ramp to meet him in the middle of the ring before hearing an unfamilliar theme begin to play as the lights dim and the screen flashes "The Omega". The crowd seems confused until it morphs into "Omezo Shikitei" as an eruption of cheers explodes through the hall, Omezo Shikitei coming out with a brand new pair of tights with the Omega symbol stamped in burgundy on gold. Everyone in the arena understands that this is Shikitei's first ever match without the label of Young Lion, and Gauge looks to play spoiler to that. In an epic brawl, the two of them ttake one another to their limits and as Gauge looks to set up the Proton Lock, Shikitei counters it into a Cross Armbreaker, making the Keith brother tap out to the Omega.

Winner: Omezo Shikitei

Rating: 51

Match 5

Tsuneyo Yanagimoto vs Edd Stone

The Ace of EXODUS looks to hand the youngest Stone brother his first lost in Pro Wrestling SAISHO in a phenominal matchup as Yanagimoto threw punch after punch and kick after kick at Stone, while he absorbed all of the punishment sent his was, proving the toughness of his family and himself. In a 22 minute brawn, the entire crowd is shocked as Stone catches Yanagimoto with a step up enziguri and a flying dropkick off of the ropes before climbing the turnbuckle to put away Yanagimoto with the Party's Over.

Winner: Edd Stone

Rating: 69

Match 4

Kawagishi & Tsubouchi vs Taku & Makioka

The amazing men of EXODUS take on Taku and Makioka ahead of their second round matches, the two men trying to regain momentum after their own exits. An exciting match takes place as the high flyers from EXODUS excite the crowd while the brawlers try to slow it to their pace. Eventually Commander Kawagishi hits Taku with a Diamond Dust cutter for the pin. They pass Yanagimoto on his way to the ring for his match and wish him luck.

Winner: Commander Kawagishi

Rating: 63

Match 3

Hidezaku, Sayuki, Nakazawa & Akamatsu vs INSPIRE

All four members of INSPIRE look absolutely dominant, calling Nakazawa & Akamatsu traitors for teaming with Hidekazu and Sayuki, clear outsiders. When Kinji Akamatsu tries to point out that makes no sense he is taken down by Suzuki and locked into the Suzuki Lock for the victory after a fantastic twenty minute match.

Winner: Hitomaru Suzuki

Rating: 58

Match 2

Van Pelt & The Diamond Dogs vs Miki & The Night Terrors

The Tag Team champs look to pick up a victory after their recent loss to The Hurt as them and Jayson Van Pelt take the fight directly to their opponents. The Diamond Dogs eventually nail Moroi with a Sweep DDT before tagging in Van Pelt, who hits an Axe Kick for the win.

Winner: Jayson Van Pelt

Rating: 41

Opening Match

Mizoguchi, Katou & Serizawa vs KAZ & The DeColts

KAZ continues to look to the future as he teams with two of the brightest Young Lions in the company, The DeColts, to take on Mizoguchi who teamed with Katou and his protoge Serizawa. The mentorship of Mizoguchi had clearly been working for Serizawa, who looked quite impressive in this match. He and Gidau hit the DeColts with stereo Lariats but Dylan was able to tag in KAZ, who hit Serizawa with the Super Rana for the pin.

Winner: KAZ

Main Event

Razan Okamoto vs Masao Tsubouchi

Two men touted as the futures of their respective companies, and one who may now possibly be the ace of his now that Funakoshi has left BCG, put on an absolute clinic between the ropes. They trade their fantastic offences back and forth, with Razan Okamoto eventually taking the advantage and hitting Tsubouchi with the Brainbuster Suplex for the pin and the win. The second round of the tournament concludes, and the Quarter Finals are set.

Winner: Razan Okamoto

Rating: 66

Match 5

Commander Kawagishi vs KAZ

KAZ uses his experience edge to his advantage early on in the match, the younger Kawagishi looking strong throughout but falling prey to the wiley veteran on a few occasions. KAZ goes to hit his Super Rana on Kawagishi, but Kawagishi throws him off of his shoulders and nails KAZ with the Diamond Dust cutter for the win.

Winner: Commander Kawagishi

Rating: 55

Match 4

??? & Taku vs INSPIRE (Kato & Nagai)

Katao and Nagai laugh as Taku begins to enter alone with a microphone in his hand. The BCG worker says that he won't allow their reign of terror to continue, and that he has inlisted some help. He knows that this man may no longer work for BCG, due to a walk out, but that means that SAISHO seems like the perfect home for him. INSPIRE just smile until the music hits and a look of shock crosses both of their faces. Across the screen flashes FUNAKOSHI! The Embodiment of Puroresu makes his way through the curtian to a hail of cheers from the crowd and he runs towards the ring, taking out both men with a double clothesline. The four men work a fantastically brutal match which eventually leads to Funakoshi trapping Tornado Nagai in the double underhook, picking him up and crashing him down onto his knee with his signature Butterfly Backbreaker for the pin and his first victory in his new home.

Winner: Funakoshi

Rating: 67

Match 3

Black Iron Corp & Katou vs Akamantsu & Nakazawa & Serizawa

Katau and Serizawa get a chance to shine early on before tagging out veterans, allowing the tag team specialists to reignite old rivalries. The match moves forward at a brutal pace, finally ending when the Destiny Champion put Torch Nakazawa away with a Kimura Lock.

Winner: Azumamaro Kita

Rating: 51

Match 2

Stone & JOJI vs Sayuki & Sekozawa

Edd Stone and the debuting JOJI take the fight to Stunner Sayuki and Torajiro Sekozawa, the youngsters using their superior speed to put the veterans on the defensive, pushing the advantage until Edd Stone is able to hit Sekozawa with a Party's Over for the win. After the match, Stone and JOJI shake hands, symbolising this is likely not the last time we will see them team together...[/i

Winner: Edd Stone

Rating: 51

Opening Match

The DeColt Pedigree vs Arakaki & Miyake

Miyaki and Arakaki put up a strong showing against the Pedigree, but the DeColt cousins don't allow them to pick up the speed they need to win. The hit Arakaki with the Pull the Trigger and Dylan sets up Miyake for the DeColt Driver for the win.

Winner: Dylan DeColt

Putting Stone over Yanagimoto was a tough choice, but as it stands he's working for SAISHO, where as Yanagimoto is still with EXODUS and loyal to them. He'll also likely go to Burning Hammer or something like that soon!

Featured on wrestling and sports websites around Japan and the world, a blog post from Hiroyasu Hakusha, Golden Canvas Grappling's reigning World Heavyweight Champion, has become quite famous and caused alot of excitement.

Funakoshi, former Ace of Black Canvas Grappling. It was impossible to miss the spectacle you've caused recently when you publically walked out on BCG and made your way over to Pro Wrestling SAISHO, one of the member of the Modern Japan Movement, like Golden Canvas Grappling. BCG's loss is SAISHO and the entire Modern Japan Movement's gain as one of the best in the world moves into the best platform in Japan.

I have a proposition for you, Funakoshi. The MJM plans on introducing its very own title, the Modern Japan World Championship, and I can't think of two better people to have the premier match for this than the World Heavyweight Champion of GCG, Hiroyasu Hakusha vs the former World Heavyweight Champion of BCG and newest signee of Pro Wrestling SAISHO, Funakoshi. People have speculated who would win this dream match in the war between GCG and BCG, so lets give everyone what they want. You and Me at your A-1 Grand Prix Final next week for the Modern Japan World Championship. I'll be there...hopefully you're not too scared to face me.

Mito Miwa and Funakoshi have agreed to the match, and it will now take place as the main event at Pro Wrestling SAISHO's A-1 Grand Prix Tournament Final!

DarK_RaideR · May 22, 2019

Hakusha vs Funakoshi is a dream match (especially in Maeda's dreams) held back only by the two men's loyalties to warring promotions. I am so waiting to see this finally go down!
