CGN91 Posted January 1, 2022 Author Share Posted January 1, 2022 OOC Here we go again! I had several discussions with some other writers about leaving, or I should say doing a break from doing diaries here. I was a bit exhausted after having the long WCG diary and felt like I couldn't do another one which can be that long like White Canvas was. Several ideas were ejected from my brain and here we are with an absolute novelty: I'm going to do a diary from the past. I'm not the biggest fan of it because I always think that I can't do it better or more interesting than it was in real life but I think with this new scenario I can. We will be playing as ZERO1-MAX in January 2006. The legendary Shinya Hashimoto left the company in '04 and died in '05 which was a real bummer for ZERO-ONE who changed their name to ZERO1-MAX to detach themself from the Hashimoto link and be one their own – Not a good idea. From one of the hottest promotions in Japan the company failed and lost many fans throughout the years, so our goal is to get the promotion back to the #3 spot, a goal I never had in one of my Puro diaries before. Special thanks to my GDS mates Dalton, mimimikuri and Blonde Bomber – They're always there for me when I need someone to talk about stuff which makes the whole diary circle here way more fun than it is to be honest.

Hashasheen Posted January 1, 2022 Share Posted January 1, 2022 Pretty interesting. I always felt that ZERO-1 became pointless after Hashimoto died as anything other than a random super-indie in Japan (point proven given it's decline in the past decade), so it'll be interesting to see you shape it's identity this early on. Frankly, besides the Fire Festival Sword I was never a big mark for their events. Tally ho, CGN91! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CGN91 Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 I finally had the time after watching Wrestle Kingdom to do the titleholder section which can be found right HERE I did all pictures by myself except three titlebelts which I took from Questlove's RWC mod and Mammoth's '06 mod, which I use for the diary tho. So the title pictures won't have all the same background but it is what is it. Not easy to find old school pictures of more unknown people and belts.

adi95 Posted January 6, 2022 Share Posted January 6, 2022 I hope that you will add more titles using or used by ZERO-1 like World or US Heavyweight titles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGN91 Posted January 6, 2022 Author Share Posted January 6, 2022 I hope that you will add more titles using or used by ZERO-1 like World or US Heavyweight titles. I use all titles they have used in 2006. They've added just one junior title in 2011 and defunct the WWA Jr. Title. The zero1 world title is just the renamed AWA title, they left the AWA partnership and just use the same title ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katsuhiko Nakajima's mission to become a double champion failed when the young trainee from Kensuke Office kicked into the air while Fujita ducked him and put him to sleep short after this exchange. With a victory over the current WWA World Junior Heavyweight titleholder it was pretty clear what will happen next. Minoru Fujita took a microfon and challenged the young sensation Nakajima to a titlematch soon. The 17 years old accepted the challenge with a handshake while his partner Kaz Hayashi wasn't amused about the loss. Hayashi, as the former International tag champ, took the lost not so well and left the ring a bit mad. Ikuto Hidaka & Minoru Fujita def.

Sai's secondant Kohei Sato had to hold him back while Murakami smirked around. Sai's nightmare started when Shibata and he tradet some strikes before the former New Japan star headbutted Sai so hard that he went on spaghetti legs. Shibata made short work of Sai, to the surprise of the Korakuen crowd, when he hitted a penalty kick followed by a knock out kick to the face which let Sai went to sleep. Wow! What a demonstration by Shibata who put his foot on Sai's lifeless body after the stoppage which let loud boos rained from the crowd. Kohei Sato was furious as well as Tadao Yasuda who came down to the ring to help Sato out. Shibata took a microfon and said that he's dissapointed with the fighting spirit of ZERO1-MAX fighter so far. Katsuyori Shibata def.

It was obvious that Steve Corino wasn't keen to step into the ring with these two warrior in fear to get pinned or submitted. On the other hand his parter CW Anderson was without fear and went to war with both Otani and Tanaka althought he was the weak link for his team though. After a Sliding D Anderson couldn't raise the shoulder in the right team and was pinned in the middle of the ring. Tanaka eyed Anderson's ZERO1-MAX United National Heavyweight title and challenged "The Enforcer" to a title bout down the line. Corino tried to get away but was stopped by Shinjiro Otani who started a brawl with the ECW alumni. Otani's goal is to get the AWA World title from Corino's waist. Masato Tanaka & Shinjiro Otani def.

Excited to see Shibata run through the roster - guessing poor Yasuda is next! PS. that picture of Nakajima never fails to make me laugh! Thanks mate! I wasn't sure if I should have done write ups to all matches, but refused it and stayed with the most important ones for this show. I spent so many times to do a new design, but nothing satisfied me so I did the old WCG design for now. The show needed to be posted soon so I thought this would be the perfect idea Baby Nak is something lol It wasn't easy to get so many good old pictures of the guys, it was pain in the a*se tbh:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
