Big Japan Pro Wrestling 2008: Death Road New Century

However, there are rumblings that owner The Great Kojika wants to broaden the appeal of the company to bring in more viewers.

The company had already tried methods such as a Junior Title and a normal Heavyweight title in its infancy, so it would certainly be a risky gamble to attempt. But if there's anyone that can pull off a gamble, it's the man who built a house in Korakuen Hall and allowed his wrestlers to destroy it: The Great Kojika.

This is Big Japan Pro Wrestling.

Big Japan Pro Wrestling in Korakuen Hall ~ 02.09.2008

Shown taped on Fighting TV Samurai

Atendance: 743

Match #1:

Yusaku Obata VS Katsumasa Inoue

Since joining Big Japan full-time this past year, Yusaku Obata has yet to accomplish anything massive within the company. Likewise, despite joining the company in early 2001, Katsumasa Inoue also has not been able to accomplish much in his now 7 years with the company. This match could certainly give a boost to either of these competitors being in Japan’s most prestigious pro-wrestling venue: Korakuen Hall!

In the end, one man would come out on top: the veteran Katsumasa Inoue. A nasty Tiger Suplex to Yusaku Obata would be what finally ended the match after 8 minutes of alright action. The two would shake hands after the match before heading to the back, Obata looking quite hurt from the move.

Winner: Katsumasa Inoue

Rating: 18</div>

Match #2:

Ryuji Yamakawa and Makoto Oishi VS The Brahman Brothers (Shu and Kei Sato)

“Mr. Big Japan” Ryuji Yamakawa and K-Dojo mainstay Makoto Oishi would certainly have no easy task tonight in taking down Shu and Kei Sato, The Brahman Brothers. Making their first appearance in Big Japan Pro Wrestling since 2006, the two would look a tad bit different. Now more weapon-crazed than ever before as apart of the Hell Demons stable, the two fit right at home in Big Japan! They would come to the ring with a wagon full of weapons - effective or not - and immediately lay right into Oishi and Yamakawa with a barrage of rights and lefts to begin the match!

After a decent brawl around the ringside area of Korakuen Hall, the match would proceed as a semi-normal wrestling match that would devolve into brawls every now and again. The match would finally end after both Shu Sato and Kei Sato would put a metal covering around their forearm and elbow and proceed to hit a double clothesline on Makoto Oishi! Not long after Shu would hit Yamakawa with one to keep him from getting back involved with the match-up. Finally, to end the onslaught on Oishi, the two would go up to adjacent turnbuckles and perform what they call the Murder Ride Show where the two men dive at the same time, one performing a crossbody and the other performing a leg-drop. After nine minutes of action, this would be what put Makoto and Mr. Big Japan away!

Winners: The Brahman Brothers

Rating: 30</div>

Match #3:

MEN’s Teioh, Shinobu, and Banana Senga VS Onryo, Tomomitsu Matsunaga, and Michael Nakazawa

This past month has been quite a doozy for one Onryo. First, the Wrestling Ghost would be resurrected at a 2007 666 show, and would begin wrestling under a mask with the name Wolf Ozawa. However, at the first Big Japan show of 2007, Onryo would surprise everyone and be the mystery partner to round out the team of Tomomitsu Matsunaga and Michael Nakazawa. Then the question remained: who was under the Wolf Ozawa mask teaming with MEN’s and Makoto Oishi. It would turn out to be none other than the former Anti-MEN’s Club member Shinobu! Seemingly now friends with MEN’s Teioh, we see a close-to-rematch of their first encounter with Onryo and company from January of this year.

Tomomitsu and Nakazawa would both give it their all within the match for their leader of sorts Onryo, but in the end they would not be able to overcome the more experienced team of MEN’s Teioh and Shinobu, as well as upstart Banana Senga who would use his early experience as a part of Toryumon Mexico to deliver a hurricanrana to Tomomitsu Matsunaga, and let Shinobu deliver a Shooting Star Press to give his team the 1-2-3 victory in Korakuen Hall!

Winners:

MEN’s Teioh, Shinobu, and Banana Senga

Rating: 27

After the match, Onryo would call for a microphone outside of the ring. Looking quite angry about another loss in the past month or so now, he would yell at his current teammates to go to the back before focusing on the three men in the ring. “Teioh, Shinobu! I’m through with these defeats at your hands.” he says emphatically. “February 22nd, I’m bringing two allies from beyond the grave, who I promise will beat you senseless! Bring whoever you want along as a partner, because it won’t matter: My spirits will be high, and yours will be low.”

With that message being sent loud and clear, Onryo drops his microphone and heads to the back. Who will these two mystery partners be? Will they truly be from beyond the grave? The only way to find out is to come to Shin-Kiba First Ring on February 22nd!

Rating: 30

Other notes:

MEN’s Teioh would debut a new hope spot with his tag partners, making the crowd go wild to see him get the hot tag! In less happy news, Shinobu looked visibly sick after his shooting star press, being quite absent in the post-match promo delivered by Onryo. Fighting TV Samurai announcers Ken Suzuki and Haruo Murata would later update us that Shinobu told management backstage he thought he had gotten food poisoning from something he ate the previous day, but that he should be alright in the coming days.</div>

Match #4:

Apache Pro Army (Kintaro Kanemura, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, and GENTARO) VS Jaki Numazawa, The W*INGER, and Hiroyuki Kondo

This match is a heated one, with the always hated Apache Pro Army taking on the loyalists of Big Japan Pro Wrestling in Jaki, Winger, and Kondo. Kintaro Kanemura has been around since the early days of W*ING before eventually jumping ship to FMW in the mid-90s. After the collapse of FMW, Kintaro would compete in various revivals and promote various companies before sticking to where he is now: Apache Pro. Tetsuhiro Kuroda has also been around for quite some time, making his FMW debut in 1993 and following Kanemura on his journey of sorts. Although he has competed in fewer deathmatches than a Kanemura or an Onita, he has proved he can hold his own over the years, including in various 8-man barbed wire tag team matches that also included Atsushi Onita. GENTARO is the newest of the bunch, debuting with DDT in 1999 during the company’s infancy. Although the newest to the deathmatch scene, GENTARO has picked up the style quickly and can go with just about anyone.

Although Jaki Numazawa is normally someone who will fight against Big Japan’s main unit, the big man seems to have mellowed out a bit with 045 Junkies partner Jun Kasai out due to personal issues. Despite this, there’s still noted animosity between himself and tag partner The W*INGER. The two faced each other back in late 2007 during an Apache Pro show, in which Jaki would pin W*INGER. However, the two looked to set aside their differences, and Jaki would look to prove he’s a changed man.

The match would go full octane almost instantly as the Apache Pro members wouldn’t even let our ring announcer complete his introduction of the Big Japan team. What bastards. The brawl spills out all around Korakuen Hall. Chairs get thrown around in the crowd, bodies hit concrete, GENTARO even makes a small dive off of the ring apron that takes out a few audience members! After a solid five minutes of brawling around the prestigious arena, the action finally makes its way back into the ring. Lucha tag rules are in effect, meaning that if one team member is thrown out of the ring another can take his or her place without a tag needing to be made. This makes for more wild brawling as W*INGER and Kuroda throwing one another over the top rope leads to Jaki running straight into a vicious chair-shot from Kintaro Kanemura!

To end the match, W*INGER is finally alone in the ring with Kanemura with the other four men brawling amongst each other on the outside. Kanemura gets W*INGER up to his feet following a German Suplex, looking to go in for the kill. Suddenly, Jaki runs into the ring with a stray light tube (potentially stolen from the main-event supply. We never said Jaki was moral.) with his sights set on Kanemura. But at the last second, Kanemura ducks and Jaki smashes W*INGER over the head with the lighttube! Kuroda is push Jaki out of the ring and make sure no one else gets in the way as Kintaro goes up to the top rope and hits Blast Yama Special (senton) on W*INGER to secure the win for his team in 13 minutes of wild and fun Korakuen action!

Winners:

Apache Pro Army (Kintaro Kanemura, Tetsuhiro Kuroda, GENTARO)

Rating: 38

After the match is over Jaki goes over to W*INGER looking to apologize to him, but is met with a bunch of static: W*INGER yells at him, prompting Jaki to yell back and forcing Kondo to attempt to break the two up. The duty of breaking up the argument would be taken over by the Apache Pro Army, however, as the three men would kick the BJW homebodies out of the ring and call for a microphone.

“About ****ing time you give me the microphone!” Kanemura yells out towards the ring-crew. “About right for a company like this..” He says, the few Apache Pro fans in the crowd cheering for the three. “Let me get straight to the point; back in 2003 I won this companies Deathmatch title, a title that one Ryuji Ito now holds. He defeated me for that title to end my reign. Now he’s come a long way, and I only have one thing to say to him: Ryuji Ito! I’m coming for your belt, and I’m coming to destroy the company you proudly lead from the inside out! Long live Apache Pro!”

Kanemura drops the microphone and rolls out with his gang, mocking a few of the BJW faithful fans in the crowd on his way out. What a disgusting little man.

Rating: 45</div>

Match #5 ~ WEW Heavyweight Championship:

Mammoth Sasaki © VS Daisuke Sekimoto

Now moving on from the wild brawl that was Apache Pro VS BJW, we get into what should be a hard-hitting heavyweight match-up between two of the best doing it on the indies today: Apache Pro’s Mammoth Sasaki VS Daisuke Sekimoto for the WEW Heavyweight championship. Daisuke Sekimoto has been with BJW since his in-ring debut in 1999 and has done it all for the company. Currently he is one half of the BJW Tag Team champions with Yoshihito Sasaki, making this his third reign with the belt, a former BJW Heavyweight champion, ZERO1 United National champion, and one half of the WEW Extreme Tag Team champions with MEN’s Teioh. Needless to say, Sekimoto has accomplished a lot in his relatively short career.

But that shouldn’t count out Mammoth Sasaki, who has been going even longer than Sekimoto has. Starting in 1997 with FMW, Mammoth Sasaki lives up to his name at 6’2, towering over many competitors including the 5’9 Daisuke Sekimoto. So far Mammoth has had a solid reign, already defending against Jun Kasai in a Four Corners of Glass Deathmatch, and Tetsuhiro Kuroda. Will Daisuke Sekimoto be able to out-do him tonight, or will Mammoth continue to reign? Let’s find out!

The two waste no time in going after one another, attempting to knock each other down right after the bell rings. Daisuke is finally able to get the first blow in on Mammoth, knocking him right on his ass! The crowd cheers that their man was able to take down the Mammoth! Daisuke wastes no time in getting right back on him, however, as he hits the ropes but misses a kick towards the chest of Mammoth. Instead, Mammoth grabs hold of his leg and yanks him down towards the mat and begins a small amount of mat-wrestling with the smaller man. Daisuke eventually breaks free of it and Mammoth looks to be a tad bit frustrated that nothing he has tried has worked. He tries again to wrestle with Sekimoto, but he finally gives in and gets in a cheap eye-poke on the BJW veteran to escape the hold.

After this, Sasaki exits the ring and calls for someone to stand up. This allows him to not only get a chair, but steal a seat from a paying customer. Again, what a bastard. He rolls into the ring to attack Daisuke with the chair but gets it knocked out of his hands and is hit with a barrage of right and left hands! Daisuke hits the ropes once again but Mammoth shows off some surprising agility as he grabs the chair once more and smacks Daisuke right in the head! Now with momentum on his side, Mammoth continues to beat down Sekimoto over the next little bit.

Things turn sour for Mammoth close to the eight minute mark however. Sasaki pulls a table out by ringside, evidently wanting to put Sekimoto away for good. After rolling the beaten and glazy-eyed challenger out of the ring and onto the table, Mammoth begins his ascent up to the top rope. He climbs, he dives… He crashes through the table! Daisuke Sekimoto moved at the last minute and saved himself from losing this important title match! The two men would come back into the ring soon after - Sekimoto leading Mammoth this time - and would nail him with a series of massive chops in the middle of the ring! Things are looking up for Sekimoto who jumps up and hits a massive enziguri on the titan of a champion followed by a pinfall, but he only gets a 2-count.

Sekimoto wants to end this and furthermore, Daisuke Sekimoto needs to end this match before Mammoth has even a small chance to come back. Daisuke once again picks up Mammoth, meeting his strikes tit for tat as he rises to his feet, setting him up for a powerbomb. But before he can lift Mammoth up onto his shoulders he’s backdropped onto the mat! A big turning point for Mammoth here as he tries to get the Apache Pro fans in the audience back into it for him! He would call for Sekimoto to get up before hitting him with one clothesline, then another clothesline as Sekimoto would pop right back up for both, before finally nailing him with a massive lariat!

Sasaki would not wait to call him this time, but instead would pick up Sekimoto and nail him with the Mammoth Buster, a double underhook facebuster! Things would look sour for Sekimoto’s chances, and Sasaki would cover him… But only a one count?! Sekimoto bounces up, seemingly using his last bits of energy to kick out of the move and get back up, this time paying back Sasaki’s eye-poke from earlier with a nut-shot, allowing for Sekimoto to hit the powerbomb he tried earlier! Pinfall, 1, 2- Kick Out from Sasaki at the last second! Sekimoto cannot believe it, looking stunned towards the Korakuen faithful and the referee and pleading that it was a three count. Nothing more that he can do about it, however, so he gets back to his feet once again.

This time, however, he eyes the chair that Sasaki used earlier in the match. Sekimoto sets it in the middle of the ring, and calls out to the crowd: “FIRE HAMMER!”. Sekimoto lifts Sasaki back up to his feet and shockingly gets him on his shoulders, setting up for the reverse death valley driver! But the weight and height of Sasaki is too much at this point in the match, and the big-man easily powers his way out of the hold. A few kicks to the side of Sekimoto and Saski has him on his shoulders - Mammoth Driver to Sekimoto! Sasaki isn’t done, he immediately picks him up for another, this time on the steel chair that Sekimoto had placed in the middle of the ring! 1

Mammoth Sasaki retains in Korakuen Hall in a hellacious battle!

Winner, and STILL WEW Heavyweight Champion: Mammoth Sasaki!

Rating: 40

Following this grueling, career-shortening battle, Mammoth Sasaki would call for a microphone.

“Sekimoto. You’re a good challenger, but I proved tonight that I’m better.” Sasaki proclaims, “You challenged me for my belt, I’ll challenge you for yours. You and Yoshihito Sasaki versus me and a partner that I choose. Deal?”

Sekimoto slowly raises to his feet and shakes hands with Mammoth, signifying that this match will be happening in the near future!

Rating: 44</div>

Match #6 ~ Main Event ~ Fluorescent Light Tube Deathmatch!:

BJW Deathmatch Champion Ryuji Ito and Shadow WX VS Takashi Sasaki and Yuko Miyamoto.

What a main event this one should be. A combination of these four men have competed since January of this year, with various results. On 01.20, Ryuji Ito and Shadow WX, the team competing tonight, would defeat Jaki Numazawa and Yuko Miyamoto in a barbed wire board deathmatch, whereas on 01.27 Takashi Sasaki and Yuko Miyamoto, the other team competing tonight, would defeat Ryuji Ito and longtime rival and friend Abdullah Kobayashi in a 200 Fluorescent Lighttube Deathmatch. Needless to say, the record is mixed between these four to start, but should even out with the conclusion of this match!

For those unfamiliar with death-matches, in this match all sets of ropes have light-tubes attached to the ropes that the wrestlers can pull off at will, as well as extra light tubes in boxes, or elsewhere if a wrestler has something planned. To start the match off are Yuko Miyamoto and champion Ryuji Ito. The two begin with some solid mat wrestling that neither man can win out on. Because of this, the two say ‘to hell with this’ and grab some light tubes from off of the ring ropes! Ito looks as though he wants to duel ‘swords’, so to speak, but Yuko has other ideas; he grabs another light-tube and smashes it over his head before nailing Ito with the other! The distraction worked completely how Yuko wanted it to.

Ito was not going to let one little light-tube get him down however, rolling out of the way of another attempted swing by Yuko and nailing him with a shot of his own to the legs! Ito would attempt to slow the pace of the match down with a solid wrestling move: the patented stab to the forehead with the edge of a lighttube! This did slow Yuko down, now bleeding profusely out of his head. Sasaki would come into the ring to break up a second attempt at this however, and the match would continue on.

Further into the match Shadow WX and Takashi Sasaki are tagged in. Whereas Yuko and Ito attempted to be saving with the light-tubes given to them, Shadow and Takashi were not. The two would immediately throw each other into adjacent sets of ropes, smashing the light-tubes and leaving a dreamy haze of white powder in the Korakuen air, much to the delight of the fans. From then on, Sasaki would jaw at Ito, and Yuko would jaw at Shadow WX. Eventually this method would hit a breaking point and the normally calm and collected Ryuji Ito would hit the ring and begin attacking Sasaki. This prompted Yuko to come into the ring to protect his partner, and finally, the second brawl around ringside of the night would take place. This brawl would be much less hectic than the Apache Pro brawl earlier in the night, but would do some considerable damage to all four men.

To finish the match, Yuko Miyamoto would slide in a light-tube palate of sorts to his partner before knocking Ito off of the apron and fighting him on the outside. Sasaki, currently in the ring with Shadow WX, would set up the contraption in the center of the ring. He would take just a bit too long however as Shadow would get Sasaki up on his shoulders looking to set up his fireman’s carry into a cutter, the XYZ! This would be thwarted quickly however with Takashi Sasaki elbowing his way out of the move and hitting Shadow with the Bakyun! Kick, a massive jumping kick to the head of Shadow! He would quickly follow up by getting Shadow into a side-powerslam position, hitting a sit-out side powerslam known as D-Geist DIRECTLY ONTO THE LIGHTTUBE CONTRAPTION! The pinfall is made, and Ryuji slides back into the ring just a second too late to break up the pinfall!

Winners: Takashi Sasaki and Yuko Miyamoto

Rating: 45

Takashi and Yuko would celebrate after the match before continuing to jaw-jack with the opposing team. Eventually all four men exit the ring and our night within Korakuen Hall concludes, leaving the clean-up crew to do their job! Before we sign off here on Samurai TV, however, we have a few post-match comments from the two teams that competed in the main event!</div>

<div style="width:1000px;padding:5px;border-top: 5px groove #e61b1b;border-right: 5px ridge #e61b1b;border-bottom: 5px ridge #e61b1b;border-left: 5px groove#e61b1b;margin:10px;background: #ffffff; max-width:50%";">Post Match Comments:

Shadow WX: “Damnit! We should’ve had that! I know that I can beat either of those two, I’ve already beaten one of them for god’s sake!”

Ryuji Ito: “It’s disappointing that we lost, but that won’t deter us from coming back even stronger than we did tonight. Takashi Sasaki, Yuko Miyamoto, even Kintaro Kanemura, the three of you may come for this belt, but let one thing be known loud and clear: You’ll have to rip this belt from my cold, dead hands if you want it from me. See you at Shin-Kiba.”

Takashi Sasaki: “This is the second time I’ve beaten one of your teams now, Ito! If anyone deserves the title shot it’s me, and me alone! The more you look at the other people, the more you deflect on what you know is coming: me winning back that Deathmatch Title you stole from me last year! Count your days and your blessings Ito, because I’m coming for the belt!.”

Yuko doesn’t say anything, but does not look very happy at the comments his partner just made as they walk off.

And that’s it! Samurai TV commentators Ken Suzuki and Haruo Murata run down the action that we saw tonight and talk briefly about what could happen next as we sign-off for a re-run of DDT’s recent Into The Fight event from January of this year!</div>
