NOAH fan 4 life Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 [QUOTE=Tigerkinney;261326]I still think I would have got a B+, had the A rated match been the actual main event, still I was starting to wonder before you pointed it out whether or not the amount of angles is bringing the grade down a little. My product setting are 90% matches, but I've probably been going a little bit over on Angles...so in general I'm probably running shows which are more 85 % matches, 15 % angles (if I could set it that, I would but I can only go 80 which is too many angles (for a puro-fed) in my opinion or 90 which is proving to be a little bit tight). The road agents never mention about too many angles at the end of the show (maybe because I'm going a bit over, but not excessively over), but it's certainly something to consider, in trying to squeeze a better overall rating from the show[/QUOTE] what i would recommend is try and run ONE CARD with zero angles and segments other than matches. if you get a better rating then usual, youll know its the amount of angles. if its the same then its probably not angles. i dont think having 85% angles on a 90% setting should be killing you this badly coz theres about a 10% leniency between the settings of course if you dont mind the ratings hits then just keep up what youre doing now, coz it does make for a more entertaining diary Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob4590 Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 A couple of thoughts on the angles and show rating discussion. First - how long are the individual angles? If they run for 5 mins or more then the ratings WILL impact on the overall show rating, no matter what match ratio you have. And I believe Adam said that even shorter angles do still have a VERY small impact as well. Secondly - maybe try the 80% match ratio for a couple of shows - all that it seems to do is make it that you less over workers can get away with doing angles without the crowd hating those segments so much - which might in turn raise the grades for those angles. With the 80% ratio - you can run between 10 and 30% of the show as angles without any problems - so your current 15% will be perfect. Thirdly - again, when the game first came out, people were complaining about the overall grade, and Adam said then that ALL matches counted towards the grade even though it is weighted towards the last 2 matches(unlike in 05 when it really did seem to just be an average of the last 2 matches!) PS - Oh yes btw - still enjoying this a lot! ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy J. Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 [QUOTE=Tigerkinney;260951]I hadn't noticed until now that it was actually FLEET and not FEET. More a mis-read than a mispelling, anyway it's been Feet from the beginning of this diary, so no point changing it out now. In my mind Feet sounds better, sounds more mystical.[/QUOTE] I remember when you first started using the stable I was thinking something along the lines of "Feet? I could've sworn it was fleet. I mean fleet sounds so much better. Well, I guess I can't read... again." Not that I want to argue over the superiority of fleet over feet (because on one hand, you have lots of ships and on the other you have a dirty body part :) ) but it just seemed kind of ironic to me.

They did not have great chemistry as opponents a little while back but worked much better teaming up on this occasion in what proved to be a fairly solid tag contest. Kawasawa and Hamacho started it off, and Kawasawa used his speed and agility to keep the Raging Bulls off balance, Kawasawa then tagged Maita into the match and the two showed a solid understanding with some quick-tags to keep Hamacho in their corner. Maita then went to apply the ankle-lock but Hamacho kicked him off, then raked his face before scooping Maita up and planting the Openweight Champion with a scoop power-slam. Hamacho then dragged Maita over to the Bulls corner, and tagged in Sanda, this time it was the Bulls turn to dish out the double team punishment. Maita found an opening when Sanda went for the Explosion kick, Maita ducked then took Sanda down with a drop toe-hold before applying the ankle-lock. Hamacho was quick to break it up....Sanda hobbled over to Hamacho but Maita managed to get the tag into Kawasawa, who took Hamacho off balance with a Flying Neck-breaker, as Hamacho got back he was met with a knee to the head via the Vision Quest... One... Two... Hamacho kicked out !!! Hamacho then fired himself up and began to fire away on Kawsawa, knocking the Junior Division star senseless before driving the masked worker to the canvas with a gut-wrench power-bomb. One... Two... Maita made the save....Maita then snapped off a drop-kick that had Hamacho rocking. Hamacho then stumbled into jaw-breaker, before a spinning leg hook belly to back suplex sent him to the canvas. Maita then made the cover, but the cover was weak and Hamacho easily kicked out, because suplexing someone considerably bigger took a bit out of him. Maita though could sense victory and went to nail Hamacho with the Assasination Attempt (Running Knee) but Hamacho caught Maitas leg, lifted him up and then drove the Openweight Champion into the canvas with the Hamacho Sledge 2K (Samoan Driver) One.... Sanda comes in to cut off any interference from Kawasawa Two.... The Raging Bulls win the match.

Tentative beginning as all 3 men look circle round, staring each other out...Masuko then attacks Konda and Miyamae joins in on targetting Konda, with the heels deciding to work together. Miyamae takes drives Konda into his knees with a Uranage back-breaker before turning him over and applying a chin-lock, Masuko comes springing off the ropes and delivers a basement drop-kick to Konda's face. Miyamae then turns Konda over and goes for a pin...... Masuko breaks it up....Miyamae turns around and gets dropped to the canvas with an STO, double foot stomp to the chest from Masuko.....Masuko goes for the cover but Miyamae rolls the one time Junior champion over and applies a head-scissors arm-bar....running senton from Konda breaks up the submission. Konda then attacks Miyamae with a series of fore-arms but the tag champion fires-back with a series of kicks, and catches Konda into position for an Exploder suplex, but Konda blocks and counters with a sunset flip power-bomb...... One... Two... Masuko breaks it up, turns Konda around and then monkey-flips him into one of the turnbuckles...Konda staggers out of the corner and Masuko looks for Into the White but Miyamae is back up and dumps Masuko with an Exploder Suplex. Miyamae decides not to go for the pin on Masuko, and turns his attention to Kansuke Konda, he sets up Konda for the Miyamae spoiler but Konda manages to steady himself on the top turnbuckle and then stuns Miyamae with a springboard bull-dog.... One... Two... Miyamae kicks out.... As Miyamae staggers back up Konda catches him with an Ace-Crusher....... Masuko though is back up and sends Konda into the canvas with the Cradle Shock !!! One... Two... Three, Masuko is the winner !! Very good mid-card match, it moved along at a good pace from the get go and they worked in some pretty inventive spots.

Americana needs to win here to hold onto his right for a title shot, a win for Scorpion would blow things wide open again. The usual stalling start , as both try hard not to make the first mistake..... Scorpion takes Americana down with an Arm-Drag, then Americana counters with one of his own....back and forth with the arm-drags they go, welcome to Arm-Dragmania..... Americana has enough of the Arm-drag fun and nails Scorpion with a drop-kick, that staggers Scorpion into the ropes, Scorpion springs off the ropes into a Scorpion Stinger, but Americana is able to avoid getting nailed and leaps over, and then delivers a stiff kick to the back of Golden Scorpion. Americana lifts Scorpion up and plants him with a rolling cutter....pin attempt from Americana but it's an easy kick-out...Americana is still in control and tries to take Scorpion over with an Elemental Suplex, but Scorpion stands his ground then counters with a snap suplex....Scorpion holds on and follows up with another snap suplex, Scorpion still holds on and this time drives Americana into the canvas with a brainbuster.... One... Two... Americana kicks out Scorpion goes out onto the Apron and looks to finish Americana off with the Golden-Shot but Americana got up and countered with a step up Enziguri...leading to Scorpion crotching himself on the top-rope and then falling to the outside.... Scorpion staggers back up and then is knocked right down again after Americana comes flying full speed ahead over the top rope with a handspring plancha. Americana brings Scorpion back into the ring.....stomps away and then lifts Scorpion up off the canvas.....ELEMENTAL DRIVER !! One... Two.... Scorpion flips it over into a pin attempt of his own, Americana kicks out ...Implant DDT from Golden Scorpion....Scorpion then picks Americana up and power-bombs him into the corner....it appears Scorpion has got his second wind...he hangs Americana into the tree of woe position.....Scorpion then climbs the opposite turnbuckle and delivers a corner to corner missile drop-kick. Americana staggers out of the corner into a Northern Lights Suplex.... One... Two.... Americana kicks out....Scorpion goes up, he comes off with a Moonsault he misses Americana but lands on his feet, but then gets nailed with a springboard back elbow, and then gets driven into the canvas with an Elemental Suplex... One... Two... Scorpion kicks out...... Americana goes up top...... INFERNO SPLASH !!!! Precision perfect.....this one is over. That was one of the best Junior match-ups to not involve either Sensational Dragon or (especially) Elemental II in quite a while, it was also Golden Scorpion's best one on one performance in quite some time. So hopefully it looks like he is stepping up his game, as he does have the talent to be a key player in the Junior Division. As for Americana, the fans are really starting to buy into him as a legitimate star performer. [B][COLOR=red]Result: Americana defeated Golden Scorpion in 14:39 by pinfall.

Not really sellling Monday's injuries coming into the match aside, take nothing away this was a really good match. This one started with some pretty basic brawling, with Ino coming out like the proverbial burning house....a big back body drop sent Shimedzu to the outside. Ino then went out onto the apron, but he took a bit too long stepping over the ropes and Shimedzu pulled the legs out from under him and drove him back-first into the ring apron. Shimedzu then stepped onto the apron and tried to deliver a swinging DDT but got caught by Ino who dropped him stomach first over the guard-rail. Ino stepped back into the ring, and Koetsu Shinozaki started a twenty count, Shimedzu got back in ten but was immediately bowled over with a Yakuza Kick and then sent back down again with a clothesline, then another clothesline, then another clothesline....Shimedzu was being repetively worn down by the power and paint man. Ino then scooped Shimedzu up and delivered a Scoop Lift Power Slam... One.. Two.. He made the cover too near the ropes and Shimedzu was able to stretch out a leg to break up the pin.... Ino then decided to go airborne and climbed the second turnbuckle to nail Shimedzu with a double axe handle.... Ino then picks up Shimedzu for a Death Valley Driver, but it gets countered into a crucifix roll...Ino powers his way up out of the pin attempt but gets immediately taken down with a swinging DDT...... Both men lay on the canvas....Ino's head stinging, Shimedzu feeling the effects of being on the defensive for most of the match......they get back up and exchange strikes...... the both spring off the ropes. Shimedzu catches Ino with a springboard roundhouse kick, before following up with a Shining Wizard.... One... Two.... Ino kicks out. Shimedzu then goes up top , and delivers a Moonsault... One... Two... Ino kicks out.... Shimedzu backs up Ino into the corner with the Rebel Streak (repeated machine gun kicks)....Ino staggers out of the corner....into a Falcon Arrow !! Shimedzu turns Ino over to make the cover... One... Two...... Ino kicks out again, Ino fires himself up and begins to no-sell Shimedzu's offence, he's feeling the POWAAAAAHHHHH !!! Ino takes Shimedzu over with a back-body drop , turns around then plants Shimedzu with a sit-out power bomb... One... Two... Shimedzu kicks out, Ino whips Shimedzu into the ropes....Leaping Lariat takes Shimedzu down.....Shimedzu staggers back up , right into a KOBRA'S BITE ! (High Knee) One... Two... Three ! Great clash of styles match up, it's baffling how Ino could put on this excellent match up with Shimedzu, yet had so much trouble in terms of chemistry with Tom Gilmore,especially when Gilmore's style is not to disimilar to that of Shimedzu. Regardless it's good to see Koshiro Ino back to form, and Shimedzu continues to prove himself as one of the MVP's of the promotion.

Sensational Dragon gets right in Elemental II's face to start with, and starts talking trash that only seems to fire up Elemental II, who lays right into the arrogant young champion, with a flurry of strikes and kicks....he then goes for a big rounhouse but Dragon ducks and takes Elemental II off his feet with a Dragon screw leg-whip . Elemental II gets back up, but gets taken down with an arm-drag and Dragon transitions it into an Eastern Stretch....Elemental II fights out of the hold but gets dumped to the canvas with an STO. Dragon follows up with a double stomp, into an standing moonsault !! One.... Two... Elemental II kicks out, Dragon picks Elemental II up, he attemtps a Dragon suplex, standing switch.....counter into an Elemental suplex !! One... Two... Dragon gets the shoulder up, but Elemental II locks on the Elemental clutch. It looks like Dragon is going to reach the ropes, so Elemental II switches it up into a surfboard, he then catapults Sensational Dragon into the corner, but Dragon springboards off the turbuckle and catches Elemental II with a springboard back elbow..... A quebrada from Dragon earns a two count, he picks up Elemental II and plants the Junior legend into the canvas with another STO. Dragon decides to jaw with the crowd and then goes up to the turnbuckle....Dragons taunting however cost him some valuable time and Elemental II is able to pick himself up off the canvas..... Elemental II races up the turnbuckle and sends Dragon crashing back into the ring with a top rope Elemental Suplex !! One... Two.... Dragon kicks out........ Elemental II decides to go up himself..... He comes off with the Inferno Splash but Sensational Dragon gets the knees up, step up Enziguri from Dragon, sends Elemental II falling to the canvas.......slingshot plancha from Dragon earns a two count....he then picks up Elemental II and looks for the Dragon Slice, Elemental II..manages to block the attempt and counters with a somersault DDT.... One... Two.... Dragon kicks out, Tr-fecta kick series has Dragon reeling, Elemental Driver... One... Two.. Dragon gets a foot on the rope... Elemental II stays on the offensive, another flurry of kicks, knee to the mid-section and Dragon doubles over. Elemental II then sets Dragon up for an Earth Breaker, but then Rhino Umaga gets up onto the apron, Elemental II seems temporarily distracted by he prescense of the Samoan. School-boy roll up from Sensational Dragon... One... Two.... The crowd can't believe it....Dragon has literally stolen a victory and is still the Junior champion, it looked like Elemental II was going to win for sure, but the distraction from Umaga proved to be enough of a window of opportunity for the Sensational Dragon to take advantage. Despite the slightly screwy finish, that may well of been their best match yet, they worked some really spots into the match, but this was no spot -fest...it was a match with good spots, many of which made sense. A good example being Elemental II's back-flip DDT counter to the Dragon Slice.

Then finally finishing off with another gripping match between Sensational Dragon and Elemental II, which would be feud off the year in any other promotion, had it not been for Hooded Kudo and Hiroaki Nakasawa's battles over the Burning World Championship. As a concluding note Rhino Umaga, now has a purpose once again in the promotion, after being in creative limbo, when his Openweight Title run came to an injury enforced end. _________________________________________________________________ [B]T.V News:[/B] Ironclad drew a 16.56 rating on TV5 Monde (+ 0.83) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOAH fan 4 life Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 hmm, Rhino Umaga teaming with Silver Dragon Feet. not sure how i feel about that regardless, awesome card too. Golden Scorpion really rose to the occasion in his match, as did Ino against Shimedzu. i liked the idea of the 10 minute challenge. then you add a very good Junior main event and thats a damn good card. nice job btw, your explaination for why the name is Feet not Fleet literally made me LOL quick question: can we get an update on the prestige of all the major titles (Main, Tag, Junior) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crazy how a few random things can skew the norm. I love that about TEW. On topic, I'd really love to see this feud between Kudo and Nakasawa go for a while with Nakasawa doing everything in his power to regain his title and eventually finally getting that shot and winning it.

Tigerkinney Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 First off, I'm making enough of a profit each month, to keep the roster in pay-roll , I could probably make more money but I'd rather have a good roster/good product...as long as the promotion is turning some kind of profit and not losing money I'm happy. I'm baffled as to why PGHW have suddenly made ten million. In this diary for OLLIE and MPWF....I adjusted them slightly. I deleted SOTBPW and instead made OLLIE and MPWF bigger companies (both at cult level) similar to the real-life Mexico with AAA and CMLL. I think I might of also given both companies a little more money but I've got a feeling I accidently added one extra zero to the end of MPWF's money, which can only explain why they have 27 million. I could change it back to the intended amount, but then again I think I'll keep it as it is, lets just pretend some Mexican Media mogul called Eduardo Tunarosa has decided he likes wrestling and has decided to invest in MPWF.

Tigerkinney Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 [B][U][COLOR=darkred]Purogods.com[/COLOR][/U][/B] [COLOR=black]Burning Hammer of the Wrestling Gods continue their Eye of the Dragon Tour, on the heels of an eventful show in Chugoku. After Rhino Umaga denied Hiroaki Nakasawa a shot at the World Title and again made his prescence felt during the Junior Title match between Sensational Dragon and Elemental II, it appears that the former Openweight Champion has joined the ranks of the powerful Silver Dragon Feet stable. [/COLOR] In the main event of Monday's show to take place at the Kagawa Sports Field in Kyushu Hiroaki Nakasawa & Elemental II will look for revenge against Hooded Kudo and Rhino Umaga, when all 4 men will collide in tag team action. There will also be two title matches for Monday's show as The Rebellion put the tag titles on the line against P.I.N.K, whilst Mokuami Maita recently succesful in title defences against Chuichi Sanda will face the challenge of Sanda's Raging Bulls tag team Partner Eiji Hamacho. Also in action will be Junior Champion Sensational Dragon in a non title match against Hyosuke Kokan, Kinnojo Horri will look to continue his recent winning streak, when he takes on Dynamite Narahashi, Steve Flash takes on Eagle Kawasawa and there will be a Junior Division 4 corner survival match featuring The Awesome Kiyaru, UK Dragon, Fire-Fox and SUKI. It appears that the contendership for the World Title is up in the air at the moment, after Hiroaki Nakasawa failed to beat Hooded Kudo in the Time Limit challenge by Kudo. Though it appears that the Burning Hammer officials have begun to fight back in regards to Kudo calling the shots over who he should face for the World Title. They said that a World Champion can refuse to face someone for the title, but must have a valid reason in doing so , and the only reason valid enough would be injury...otherwise the champion would be stripped of the title. An announcement will be made on who will next receive a World Title shot at Thursdays show to take place at the Nagasaki Sports Park in Kyushu. The World Champion will be in action during that show, as Hooded Kudo face off against Openweight Champion Mokuami Maita in a non title contest. One title that will be on the line that night will be the Junior Title as Americana gets his opportunity against Sensational Dragon. Other matche confirmed for the show are Elemental II vs Kansuke Konda,Shimedzu vs Fire-Fox, Eiji Hamacho vs Bulldozer Brandon Smith and P.I.N.K vs Eagle Kawasawa & Super Joshuya. Burning Hammer officials have confirmed that even if Hamacho or P.I.N.K do win the Openweight Title or Tag Titles in their matches on Monday, that their matches booked for Thursdays events will remain Non Title _______________________________________________________________ [CENTER][U][B]Eye of the Dragon Tour- Night 10 (Kagawa Sports Field, Shikoku )[/B][/U] [I]Monday 1st October 2007[/I][/CENTER] [CENTER][B]Grudge Tag[/B] [SIZE=1]"Representing Silver Dragon Feet "[/SIZE] [SIZE=1]" Burning World Champion"[/SIZE] Hooded Kudo & Rhino Umaga vs Hiroaki Nakasawa & Elemental II[/CENTER] [CENTER][B]World Tag Team Titles:[/B] [SIZE=1]"Representing Silver Dragon Feet"[/SIZE] The Rebellion (Shimedzu & Miyamae) vs P.I.N.K (Marihito Masuko & Tadakuni Toshusai) [/CENTER] [CENTER][B]Openweight Title:[/B] Mokuami Maita vs Eiji Hamacho[/CENTER] [CENTER][B]Non (Junior Title):[/B] [SIZE=1]"Representing Silver Dragon Feet"[/SIZE] Sensational Dragon vs Hyosuke Kokan[/CENTER] [CENTER][B]4 Corner Survival:[/B] The Awesome Kiyaru vs U.K Dragon vs Fire-Fox vs SUKI [/CENTER] [CENTER]Kinnojo Horri vs Dynamite Narahashi[/CENTER] [CENTER]Eagle Kawasawa vs Steve Flash __________________________________________________[/CENTER] [CENTER][U][B]Eye of the Dragon Tour- Night 11 ( Nagasaki Sports Park, Kyushu )[/B][/U] [I]Thursday 4th October 2007[/I] [CENTER][B]Junior Title: [/B] [SIZE=1]"Representing Silver Dragon Feet "[/SIZE] Sensational Dragon vs [/CENTER] Americana [CENTER][B]Non (World) Title:[/B] [SIZE=1]"Representing Silver Dragon Feet"[/SIZE] Hooded Kudo vs [SIZE=1]"Openweight Champion"[/SIZE] Mokuami Maita [/CENTER] Elemental II vs Kansuke Konda P.I.N.K (Marihito Masuko & Tadakuni Toshusai) vs Eagle Kawasawa & Super Joshuya Shimedzu vs Fire-Fox Eiji Hamacho vs Bulldozer Brandon Smith [I]Plus an announcement will be made on the Contendership for the[/I] [I]Burning Hammer World Heavyweight Championship !![/I] [/CENTER] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kiyaru and U.K Dragon started this match out, with Kiyaru getting the early advantage, using a series of arm-drags to keep Dragon off balance. Dragon eventually blocks an arm-drag and rocks Kiyaru with a European Upper-cut and then takes Kiyaru over with a snap-suplex. Dragon then goes to tag SUKI into the match, but the youngster drops down from the apron and refuses the tag. Dragon turns his attention back to Kiyaru, but SUKI sneaks into the ring and delivers a kick to the back of Dragon. Dragon turns around but Kiyaru almost pins him with a school-boy roll-up. Dragon gets up and turns his attentions to SUKI , and rocks the disrespectful youngster with a European Upper-cut. Dragon though seems too concerned with SUKI and Kiyaru takes him down with a spinning leg-sweep. Quebrada from Kiyaru gets a two count. Kiyaru then picks up Dragon and drives the British import to the canvas with a Falcon Arrow…. One….. Two…. Fire-Fox decides it’s time to interject himself into the match and breaks up the pin. Flying Thrust Kick from Fox, takes Kiyaru to the outside. Dragon though is right behind Fox and dumps Fox with a drop-kick to the outside. Dragon climbs the top rope but SUKI comes over and crotches him. SUKI hits a step-up Enziguri that sends Dragon falling into the tree-off woe position. Hesitation drop-kick from SUKI , Northern Lights Suplex out of the corner transitioned into a SUKI Special III. SUKI has the hold locked on, it looks like he might get the upset win, but Fire-Fox breaks it up with a Standing Moonsault. Kiyaru is back in and he takes Fire-Fox down with a Tilt-A Whirl Head-Scissors. Kiyaru goes up top, and hits a corkscrew senton onto Fire-Fox…before he can make the cover though SUKI delivers a stiff-kick to the back and spikes SUKI with an implant DDT. Fire-Fox gets back up but is met with a Roundhouse Kick to the face….SUKI goes set Fire-Fox up for a Death Valley Driver, but instead gets dumped with a Dragon Suplex from UK Dragon…. One…. Two….. Kiyaru breaks up the pin , Kiyaru goes to take Dragon down with a Uranage, but at the same time gets taken down by a leg-sweep DDT from Fire-Fox…. All three men are down…..Fox goes for the cover on Kiyaru…. One… Two… Broken up by UK Dragon. Fire- Fox takes UK Dragon down with a leg-sweep, and then spikes Kiyaru with another DDT… One… Two… UK Dragon picks Fire-Fox up off Kiyaru and then drives him to the canvas with the Dragon-Drop Cut-throat Driver… One…. Two… UK Dragon is the winner. Everyone looked pretty good in this match, and the win for UK Dragon was something of a reward for the good showings he has been putting in during losing efforts against upper-tier workers.

It's definately one of the more elaborate in Burning Hammer....he rises from a platform below the entrance ramp in a cloud of smoke, before walking (quite slowly) towards the ring....most of the wrestlers just come out of the entrance ramp and just head towards the ring and that includes star performers like Hiroaki Nakasawa.

The Rebellion are part of the dominant Silver Dragon Feet stable, whilst P.I.N.K have hardly shown themselves to be fully paid up members of the Babyface Club lately either. So what transpired was a technically solid back and forth contest, but one that lacked that little something extra to make it truly memorable. Masuko started things off with Shimedzu…..Shimedzu laid in some kicks into Masuko that backed up the former Junior Champion into The Rebellion corner, before tagging in Miyamae. A double Russian Leg-sweep led to a cover from Miyamae but Masuko was able to kick out. Miyamae then tagged Shimedzu back in, who came off the top-rope with a leg-drop before taking Masuko over with a sling-shot suplex. Another cover attempt, another kick-out. Miyamae was tagged back in and took over with more kicks before whipping Masuko into the opposite corner…..Miyamae then went for the face-wash but Masuko rolled out of the corner and then monkey-flipped Miyamae away from the corner…Masuko then turned around at took Miyamae down with an STO, before getting the tag into Toshusai….who cleaned house striking Miyamae down with a series of Mongolian Chops and then delivering a fore-arm smash to Shimedzu, that knocked the other half of The Rebellion off the apron…. Toshusai turned his attention back to Miyamae, but was met by some low-kicks that took the big-man off balance , Miyame then hit an Enziguri, that sent Toshusai toppling over. Miyamae went for the cover but Toshusai emphatically kicked out at one…. Toshusai then dumped Miyamae with a Belly to Belly suplex …Miyamae then got up but was immediately slammed back down with a spine-buster. One… Two… Shimedzu broke up the pin…. Toshusai then whipped Shimedzu into the ropes but was caught off guard by a springboard roundhouse kick. Miyamae was now back up, and The Rebellion showed their smooth double team experience by taking the big man down with a double team Slingshot Suplex. Shimedzu made the cover… One… Two… Masuko made a desperation save, but was immediately taken down with a Uranage from Miyamae…Miyamae then followed up with a Uranage back-breaker and the tag team champions were fully in control of this match. Then when they nailed Masuko with the Spiked Skull Drop it just seemed academic at that point. [B][COLOR=red]Result: The Rebellion defeated P.I.N.K in 10:44 when Shimedzu defeated Marihito Masuko by pinfall .

Flash is a Gaijin but a respected veteran of the North American wrestling scene , whilst Kawasawa is a rising star who can work well with both Juniors and agile heavyweights. This one started off tentatively, with some basic chain wrestling…Kawasawa took Flash down with a Dragon Screw and then went to apply a spinning toe-hold but Flash kicked him off and exploded on Kawasawa with a clothesline. Flash then sprung off the ropes and took Kawasawa down with a one-handed bull-dog . Flash then picked Kawasawa up off the canvas and drove him back down with a Full Nelson Face-Buster. Flash went for an early pin attempt One…. Two… Kawasawa kicked out. Flash then picked Kawasawa up for a power-bomb but was caught by an Enziguri. Flash then was taken further off balance with a spin-kick , and then stumbled into an Eagle-Plex (Chicken wing suplex)…..instead of going for the pin though Kawasawa kept the hold looked on and transitioned into his Spread-Eagle submission manoeuvre….. However Flash was able to turn the submission over and almost had Kawasawa’s shoulders pinned to the mat for three…forcing Kawasawa to break the hold. As they stumbled back up to their feet, Kawasawa rocked Flash with a series of strikes that sent the mullet haired Canadian to drop back down to his knees, Kawasawa then went for the Vision Quest but Flash was able to duck and countered with a spear that took Kawasawa over. As Kawasawa got back up, he was nailed in the kisser by a super-kick, Flash then followed up with the pin attempt… One…. Two…. Kawasawa kicked out on sheer survival instincts. Flash then decided to go up top, but then seemed distracted by something Mullet Power were standing on the entrance ramp. Kawasawa then got up and staggered into the ring-ropes crotching Flash on the top turnbuckle. Flash then stumbled off the turnbuckle but was met by a Vision Quest (Shining Wizard-Enziguri) on the way down……. One… Two… Kawasawa picks up the victory. Technically fine as a match, it just seemed to be lacking something and the fans were a little subdued during it. The fans did not seem that bothered that Flash was denied the victory, as many were probably more behind Kawasawa anyway.

Narahashi got in about 30 seconds of token offence, before being finished off with a Burning Lariat, after surviving a non-stop onslaught from Horri for about two and half minutes of ring time.

Hamacho lays into Maita from the get-go and backs the Openweight Champion into the corner and reigns down lefts and rights , Hamacho goes for a big clothesline but Maita slips out from the corner and takes Hamacho down with a chop-block. Maita then tries to apply the ankle-lock but Hamacho kicks him off. Hamacho then follows up with a Belly to Back Suplex, he holds on and delivers a Belly to Belly Suplex for a two count. He then lifts Maita up onto his shoulders for the Hamacho Sledge 2K, but Maita counters with a crucifix roll…. One…. Two…. Hamacho kicks out, but Maita switches it up into a crucifix arm-bar. Hamacho makes his way to the ropes and Maita is forced to break the hold. Maita takes Hamacho back down with a Russian Leg-sweep and then transitions into a face-breaker knee-smash…. One… Two… Hamacho kicks out. Maita comes charging at Hamacho with an Assassination Attempt (running knee) but that that is countered into a scoop power-slam. Hamacho goes for the pin… One…. Two…. Hamacho picks Maita up and then holds the Openweight Champion in the air for almost half a minute with a delayed vertical suplex. Hamacho picks up Maita again and drives the champion to the canvas with a Gut-wrench power-bomb… One… Two….. Maita counters into a pin attempt of his own…. One… Two… Hamacho attempts to get Maita up onto his shoulders . Maita slips out and drops Hamacho with a drop-toe-hold. He applies the ankle-lock. Hamacho tries to get to the ropes, he almost reaches them but Maita pulls him back and synches in the hold…….Hamacho’s not tapping. Referee Koetsu Shinozaki lifts his arm up once, it flops down, He lifts it again, it flops down again He lifts the arm up for a third time…. Shinozaki calls for the bell. Make that seven successful title defences now for Maita, who only needs three more to ‘graduate’ to earning a World Title shot. Admittedly that was another ‘formula’ Maita match but these matches are getting better and Hamacho (not necessarily known for great selling) added some good drama towards the end of the match by trying to hang on in there, instead of the usual mandatory tap out finish.

Dragon seemed to be taking Kokan a little too lightly at the beginnings of the match. Dragon took early control by laying in a series of kicks and then bringing down Kokan with a Dragon screw leg-whip, but instead of staying on Kokan he started to strut around the ring....all that did was give Kokan time to re adjust his bearings and then almost surprise Dragon with a small package roll up. That seemed to take Dragon off his game, and Kokan nailed the out of sorts Junior Champion with a drop-kick and then take it to Dragon with a series of fore-arms. Dragon was feeling the pressure and decided to drop the floor for a powder. However Kokan climbed up to the top turbuckle and dived off the turnbuckle, taking Dragon down with a tilt-a whirl head-scissors. Kokan then got back in the ring and referee Omura Umeki started to count Dragon out, Dragon was soon back to his feet though and up on the apron Kokan went to take him out with a suicide dive, but Dragon was able to move away at the last split second, and Kokan ended up crashing and burning into the barricades. Dragon then picked Kokan up and dumped him over the top of the barricade, before climbing up onto the ring apron and delivering a diving body splash to the back of Kokan, driving Kokan's mid-section into the guard-rail. Dragon then rolled Kokan back into the ring, and went for the cover, but Kokan kicked out. The Junior champion continued to work over Kokan's mid-section with a series of strikes and knees, before planting Kokan with an STO. He then followed up with double stomp into a standing moonsault... One..... Two.... Kokan got a foot on the ropes......Dragon then pulled Kokan nearer to the centre of the ring, and tried to set Kokan up for a Dragon Suplex, but Kokan countered with a sunset flip....the pin attempt only got one as Dragon kicked out. Dragon then tried to take Kokan down with another leg-whip but Kokan was able to skip over and planted an elbow smash into the face of Sensational Dragon...... Kokan was now fired up and rocked Dragon with a comination of strikes and kicks, with Dragon staggered Kokan went up to the top turnbuckle and came flying off with a Tornado DDT... One.... Two...... Dragon kicked out......Kokan stayed on the Junior champion though and dumped Dragon with a leg-hook Belly to Back suplex..... One.... Two..... Dragon kicked out, but was still down.....Kokan went up top and came off with his patented 'Cannonball' front-flip senton but Dragon was able to get the knees up, saving himself from almost certain defeat and putting further damage on the already tender mid-section of Hyosuke Kokan. Dragon the backed up Kokan with a series of Roundhouse Kicks, before monkey-flipping Kokan out of the corner and nailing the former Tag champion with anothr Roundhous Kick, as Kokan turned around..... Kokan then stumbled into the grasp of Sensational Dragon who then dumped Kokan with a Dragon Suplex...... One... Two..... Kokan kicked out..... This time Sensational Dragon decided to go up to the top turnbuckle, but he started to pose on the top turnbuckle and Kokan was able to get up to his feet, but before Kokan could make any sort of offensive move....Dragon came flying off the turnbuckle and took Kokan down with the Sensational Shock (Dragon-rana)...... One.... Two..... Dragon is the winner. Solid match, especially considering it was non title and it was pretty much a formality that Sensational Dragon would win, because Kokan though an integral part of the upper mid-card is not exactly being pushed as singles star. But they did a decent job of making Kokan look capable of perhaps causing an upset, without making Dragon look weak.....any mistakes openings Kokan took advantage from were more from Dragon's arrogance than anything out.

But Kudo and Umaga soon turn it around, with Kudo reversing an Irish whip from Nakasawa into one of the guard-rails and Umaga driving Elemental II back-first into a ring-post. Back in the ring and Elemental II was isolated in the Silver Dragon Feet corner. Elemental II faced a barrage of punishment including a face-wash from Kudo and repeated knee-strikes and shoulder barges from he 300 Ib Samoan enforcer. Kudo and Umaga were slowly wearing Elemental II who was looking more and more in desperate need to make the tag. Kudo went for a nonchalant cover but Elemental II kicked out before Kudo whipped him into the opposite turnbucke, Kudo then tagged in Umaga who went for a Rhino Charge but Elemental II used his instincets to move out of the way....Umaga rammed into the turbuckle and was then stunned by an Enziguri from the Junior Legend. Both men were down and then crawled across gingerly to their respective corners, Umaga got the tag into Kudo, who almost caught the foot of Elemental II, but at the last split second Elemental II was able to get the hot-tag into Nakasawa. Nakasawa unloaded on Kudo with a barage of fore-arm smashes, before taking the World Champion down with a clothesline.....Nakasawa then aimed a fore-arm smash in the directon of Hooded Kudo, before turning his attention back to Kudo and throwing the Silver Dragon Feet leade over-head with a release German Suplex.... One.... Two.... Kudo kicked out, Nakasawa then took Kudo over with a back-body drop, before catching Kudo with another German Suplex.... One.... Two.... Kudo again kicked out..... Nakasawa was in control though and after a kick to the mid-section he set Kudo up for the Nakasawa Neck- Breaker.... One.... Two... Rhino Umaga made the save, before being ordered back to his corner, but Kudo was able to take Nakasawa off balance with an STO and then get the tag into Umaga, who came charging out of the corner and nailed Nakasawa with a RHINO CHARGE !!! One... Two.... Thr.... Elemental II made a last ditch save Umaga then took Elemental II down with a clothesline and caught the Junior legend with an Atomic Drop....Umaga then scooped Elemental up for a power-slam, but got driven to the canvas with a somersault DDT...... Elemental II then sprang off the ropes and landed on Umaga witha Quebrada... One... Two..... Umaga kicked out and then rolled out of the ring..... Dragon then went to fly over the top and take Umaga out, but instead was met by the boot of Hooded Kudo to stop him in his tracks. Kudo then picked Elemental II up and sent him crashing back down to the canvas with a Death Valley- Driver.... One... Two.... Elemental II kicked out. Kudo then whipped Elemental II into the ropes and went for a Kudo-Kutter, but Elemental II was able to duck the attempt and with an Enziguri, followed up by the Tri-Fecta kick series.....Kudo then stumbled out of the corner and into an Elemental Driver...... One.... Two..... Umaga made the save, but Nakasawa was now back up and sent Umaga crashing over the top-rope with a clothesline, Nakasawa continued the offensive on Umaga, as those two began to brawl on the outside. Kudo got back up to his feet, but another series of kicks from Elemental II chopped down the World Champion.......and Elemental II saw the opportunity to go up top..... But when perched on the top turnbuckle, something suddenly took Elemental II's eye off the ball.....that distraction was rival and Junior Champion Sensational Dragon who was heading towards the ring...the distraction proved enough for Kudo to spring-back up, climb the turnbuckles and then send Elemental II crashing back into the ring after a Super Kudo-Kutter !!! Nakasawa tried to make the save, but Umaga pulled him back and the pin-fall was academic. That was a fine T.V main event, it wasn't technically the most brilliant match in the world but it told a good story and Silver Dragon Feet are starting to pick up screwy heel like victories, without them even being really being screw-job finishes at all. Just the sudden presence of another member coming down to ring-side alone can render their opponents paranoid enough that interference will happen.....more often than not it doesn't but it does take their opponents eye of the ball for the Dragon Feet member in the ring to take advantage of the situation.

I would not have been surprised before running the show if it only got a B-, as it was hardly the strongest card on paper, so despite only getting a B, it slightly exceeded the expectations I had for it. Umaga was apparently slightly over-used (and perhaps he was) but he showed that he could hang with the main eventers, in a very entertaining tag team main event. ___________________________________________________________________________ [B]T.V News:[/B] Lords of the Ring drew a 15.39 rating on Nippon T.V (+ 0.08) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maita rushes in but immediatelty gets taken down with a Yakuza kick from an incensed Hooded Kudo..... Kudo then purposely tosses Maita out of the ring. Kudo then fires Maita out and after a series of knife-edged chops whips Maita into the guard-rail. Kudo then lifts Maita up and flap-jacks the Openweight champion into the ring-steps. Kudo then drags Maita back into the ring, the World Champion is in a foul mood and he wants to make an example of Maita, who we can now see is busted open from landing face first into the steel steps. Kudo picks up Maita and lifts up the Openweight champion for a Proto Kudo-Driver (Belly to Back piledriver)....Maita's head gets driven into the canvas, surely it's over...... One... Two... Maita gets his foot on the ropes at the last split second...Kudo tosses a groggy Maita into the corner and delivers the face wash....he lifts Maita out of the corner.....and then just stands there with the Openweight Champion between his legs, he then begins to jaw with the crowd, but that gives Maita a little bit of time to shake off the cobwebs, and take Kudo by suprise with a small package.... One... Two.... Kudo kicks out, then charges at Maita, but gets taken down with a drop toe hold.... Kudo turns around into a Face Breaker knee-smash.....Maita is now firing up as he's finally putting together a string of offence...Kudo who was in total control of the match, now seems a little out of sorts..... Kudo gets back up to his feet but stumbles into a jaw-breaker from Maita....Maita grabs Kudo's leg and he goes to lock on the Ankle-Lock but Kudo hops over towards the ropes , but Maita brings it back in, he has it locked on... Kudo rolls over into a pin attempt, Maita counters into a pin attempt of his own......Kudo grabs Maita's head, he has Maita's legs now locked around his, he's caught Maita in the Kudo-Lock !!! Maita tries to roll it over, but Kudo holds firm, eventually Maita (with the blood now pouring down his face, from the increased pressure) has no choice but to tap out !!! Good non title match, that had a bit of added intensity due to Kudo now being fired up after hearing what the Burning Hammer officials have in store for him up to and including Night of the Burning Hammer. Kudo quite rightly as the World Champion, dominated much of the match but Maita was once again made to look like the sort of opponent who can turn the complexion of a match a full 180 at any point due to his deadly ankle-lock finisher.

Americana then tossed Dragon back into the ring and tried to surprise the champion and the crowd with a quick roll-up victory, which was countered by a thumb to eye. With one cheap move Dragon had managed to gain control, bringing a disorientated Americana back down to the canvas with an STO. Dragon then followed up with one of his favourite combo's the double foot-stomp into a Standing Moonsault.... After a cover attempt, Dragon monkey-flipped Americana into the corner turnbuckle and then took Americana down with an STO before applying a Dragon Sleeper, Americana began to manoeuvre is way out of that submission hold, so Dragon switched up to a Kudo-Lock , but Americana managed to turn that over and almost pinned Dragon's shoulders to the mat. Americana though was still struggling to get a grip in this match, despite taking the fight to the champion at the beginning of the match. As both men got up Dragon took Americana off his feet with a leg-whip and then placed another double stomp to the chest of the challenger, before going up top. Dragon posed on the turnbuckle for a bit then came off with a 450 splash..... But Americana had got the knees up, Sensational Dragon's brief moment of over-confidence gave Americana the opening he needed. As both combatants staggered back up to their feet Americana took Dragon down with a springboard back elbow, and then backed the champion up with the Tri-Fecta Kick Series. As Dragon sprang back off the ropes he got taken down again with a Flying Cross-Body that led to pin attempt from the challenger.... Dragon easily kicked out of that, but the momentum had swung in Americana's favour. Americana tried to go for an Elemental Driver but Dragon was able to block that, but was unable to block the Elemental Suplex from Americana, who transitioned it into a bridging pin.... One...... Two... Th.....Dragon managed to get his shoulders up at the last split second. Americana then picked up Dragon for an Elemental Driver, but the champion countered with an Enziguri. Dragon then followed up with an STO backbreaker...before deciding to go out to the ring-apron. Dragon was about to slingshot himself back in but Americana was back up onto this feet...... Dragon then sprung off the top rope and into the grasp of Americana , who looked in position to nail the champion with an Elemental Driver, but as is so ofen the case Dragon used the momentum to counter into his Sensation Shock (Dragon-rana) finisher....Dragon then rolled into a pin attempt.... One.... Two..... Three. Sensational Dragon will now face Elemental II at Night of the Burning Hammer in a 30 minute Iron Man Match. That was a decent match, but I was hoping for slightly better. Given Sensational Dragon's great matches with Elemental II, and Americana's recent performances. This was technically solid but did have that feeling of being the 'routine' regular show defence before the 'proper' defence at the PPV.

Fire- Fox did some good work early on keeping the Tag Champion off balance with his speed using such moves as springboard arm-drag and gaininng a near-fall with a flip-over DDT. But once Shimedzu was able to take control of the match, the result was never in doubt and in the end the Junior Division competitor fell victim to the Shimedzu Skull Drop.

These two have no issues with one another what so ever, if anything they are often on the same side as both do have issues with members of Silver Dragon Feet, but just because they are 'friends' there wasn't any reason why this match would be any less competitive, this is Puoresu not Sports Entertainment. Elemental II want's momentum going into his Junior Title match with Sensational Dragon, whilst Konda wants to show that he can hang with the big-guns of the Junior Division. The match starts out with Elemental II taking control early and taking down Konda with a series of Arm-Drags.....eventually that seems to frustrate Konda who starts to fire-back with a series of chops., Elemental II then fires-back himself and the competitive intensity starts to pick up between the two of them. Konda catches Elemental II with a fore-arm smash that almost knocks Elemental II over the ropes, but gets a reply right back with a roundhouse kick. Elemental II goes for another roundhouse but Konda is able to duck and he counters into a Northern Lights suplex....Konda holds on and switches into a Fisherman suplex, and then tries for an early pin attempt One.... Two.... Elemental II kicks out. Konda picks Elemental II up and delivers enough set of chops, he whips Elemental II into the ropes and attempts an Ace-Crusher but Elemental is able to slip out and then catches Konda with an Enziguri. After both competitors get up , after a brief moment of re-finding their bearings...Elemental II manages to catch Konda with boot to the mid section and then a DDT...he then springs off the ropes to follow up with a Quebrada... One.... Two... Konda kicks out Elemental II then picks Konda up and sets up for the Elemental Driver, but Konda counters into a sunset flip power-bomb !! Pin attempt but Elemental II emphatically kicks out at one ! They both get up and begin to exchange strikes again, Elemental II springs off the ropes with a springboard roundhouse but Konda ducks and catches the Junior legend with a spear....he then follows up with a running senton. He then picks up Elemental II and drives him to the canvas with the KONDA DRIVER !!! One... Two..... Elemental II kicks out.... Konda goes up to the middle rope and nails Elemental II with a diving elbow drop...another pin attempt.... One... Two.... Again Elemental II kicks out, Konda drags Elemental II back up to his feet, Konda looks to put away the 5 time Junior champion with another Konda Driver, but Elemental II slips out, then catches Konda with a desperation Enziguri... then he takes a staggered Konda down with a front-flip DDT...... Both men lay on the canvas again, and referee Omura Umeki starts a ten count, both get back up at eight, and Elemental II takes control with the Tri-Fecta Kick series, he then takes Konda down with a swinging neckbreaker, before deciding to go up top. Konda is soon back up to his feet, and he follows Elemental II up to the top of the turnbuckle... The two exchange blows on the top turnbuckle, it looks like Konda is going to suplex Elemental II back into the ring, but gets shoved on and lands flat on his back,...... INFERNO SPLASH !!!! .....connects.... One.... Two.... Three. This was one of those sleeper matches that turned out to be pretty damn good. Konda looked like he could pull off the upset, but Elemental II showed the fighting qualities to be a champion performer by taking Konda's best offence and still being able to pull off the victory.

Horri backs the former champion up towards the ring ropes and Gilmore makes a blind tag. Nakasawa's not happy about that, low-kick from Gilmore to Horri. Gilmore then brings down Horri with a reverse STO and trys to apply a Stone-Hold....Horri kicks him off, then gets the tag into Koshiro Ino. Ino jumps off the middle rope and catches Gilmore with a Double -Axe Handle, he then whips Gilmore into the ropes and catches the bald-headed Gaijin with a Scoop Power-Slam, for a two count. Ino then picks Gilmore back up again, but gets caught with an Enziguri. Gilmore then catches Ino with a double-knee face-buster, and both men go make the tag....Ino manages to tag in Horri, but when Gilmore gets over to Nakasawa's corner...the former World Champion drops down and refuses the tag. Horri is in and he takes Gilmore over head with a fall-away slam. Horri goes to make the tag to Nakasawa and this time the former champion tags in. Nakasawa works over Gilmore in the corner and then tags Horri back in. Horri delivers a Belly to Back backbreaker to Gilmore, then dumps Gilmore to the canvas with a Belly to Belly Suplex One.... Two.... Gilmore kicks out....Sit-out Power Bomb from Horri One... Two.... Nakasawa makes the save. Gilmore rolls out to get a breather and Horri and Nakasawa begin to exchange blows, however everyone seems to have forgotten about Koshiro Ino, who takes down Horir with a leaping lariat, but he then gets caught by a shoulder tackle from Nakasawa. Nakasawa goes for the pin but Horri pulls him off.... Horri trys to suplex Nakasawa, but Nakasawa blocks...clothesline from Ino and the momentum ends up with Nakasawa taking a German suplex from Horri. One..... Two..... Ino pulls Horri off ...Back-Snapper from Ino !!! One... Two.... Gilmore makes the save with a diving elbow...kicks from Gilmore to Ino.....EXPLODER SUPLEX !!! Gilmore goes over to make the cover..... One... Two... Nakasawa dives over at the last moment to make the save....Double knee backbreaker from Nakasawa, he then softens up Gilmore with some fore-arm smashes before setting him up for the Nakasawa Neck-Breaker....but he gets his feet pulled out from under-neath him by Rhino Umaga !! Umaga levels Nakasawa with a chair..... Gilmore still falls hard and is immediately met by the Kobra's Bite from Koshiro Ino. One.... Two..... Horri pulls Ino off......Horri whips Ino into the ropes and into a chair-shot from Rhino Umaga....Ino is now down.....Gilmore is back up and he hits a missile drop-kick on Horri..... Gilmore goes for a quick pin attempt but Horri powers out, both men are back up and Gilmore whips Horri into the ropes, then charges at Horri..... Umaga is back up on the apron again, he goes to hit Horri with the chair again, but Horri ducks and Gilmore ends up charging into Umaga. Umaga is knocked off the apron but Gilmore takes a chair-shot to the face.....he staggers back round. Kick to the mid-section, Horri lifts Gilmore up into the Argentine rack.....DESTINY BOMB !!! One... Two.... Three. Horri will face Hooded Kudo for the World Title next Monday and the right to be the first man in the Two Tier World Title match at Night of the Burning Hammer. Hugely entertaining storyline driven match, that kept the crowd on the edge o their seats from the opening bell.

I took a bit of a risk by starting the show with a fair bit of waffle from both Kudo and Kaneie Komine (but in the long run it was needed to set things up) but when the wrestling finally did kick in, it was for the most part up to the standard that a Burning Hammer show is expected to produce. _________________________________________________________________ [B]T.V News:[/B] Ironclad drew a 16.66 rating on TV5Monde (+ 0.10) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in agreement that personally I've put on more consistant shows that have ended up with a lower grade, just because the main event wasn't A*. It was a peaks and troughs show, rather than one which had good matches from top to bottom...different...yes , disappointing. ? .. I didn't think so, but then again I am the booker, so I would be bias :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigerkinney Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 [B][SIZE=3][COLOR=darkred][U]Purogods.com[/U][/COLOR][/SIZE][/B] [COLOR=#8b0000][COLOR=black]The card for Night of the Burning Hammer is beginning to take shape as we learnt that Sensational Dragon and Elemental II will face off once again for the Junior Title but this time it will be in a 30 Minute Iron-Man match, and it appears that Kudo's attempts to 'fix' his title defences has back-fired, not only will have to defend the title against Kinnojo Horri at the next show...if he gets past Horri he will have to defend it in a two tier challenge match.[/COLOR][/COLOR] The champions who appear to have gotten off more lightly are The Rebellion, who will face the winners of a contenders match between P.I.N.K and Size of the Fight (that will take place earlier in the show) , though Kaneie Komine did promise that The Rebellion would also be pulling double duty. In the build towards Night of the Burning Hammer , BHOTWG come to the Kanagawa Sports Field in Kanto for a double-header. Headlining Monday's show will be the World Title match between Hooded Kudo and Kinnojo Horri. Horri earnt the title shot in what was to be a triple-threat match but turned into a fatal 4-way with the addition of Tom Gilmore. It appeared that Kudo sent his newly acquired 'Insurance policy' Rhino Umaga to fix the outcome of the match, seemingly in the favour of Gilmore (who has shown possible inklings that he could be persuaded to join Silver Dragon Feet) but those plans backfired and now he faces former Dragon Feet alumni Horri. Of course the winner walks into Night of the Burning Hammer as the champion but the loser will get the opportunity to enter into the Two-Tier World Title challenge...because on Thursday's show the 3 qualifying matches will take place. The loser of Horri-Kudo has been drawn against Rhino Umaga , this would seem to be an obvious win-win situation for Kudo, but the lure of the World Title has often seen stable members turn on their leaders in the quest for Ultimate glory. In the other match-ups The Rebellion's Shimedzu takes on Koshiro Ino, which means intriguingly Shimedzu could be making a Tag Team Title defence and have the chance to become World Champion. The final match-up see's Hiroaki Nakasawa face the challenge of Tom Gilmore. Gilmore has made a big impact in Burning Hammer without really picking up any big victories, beating Nakasawa and earning a spot in the Two-Tier World Title match at Night of the Burning Hammer would really kick-start his claims towards claiming the ultimate prize. The rest of Monday's card will see Koshiro Ino try to gain some measure of revenge on 'The Dragon Feet Insurance Policy' Rhino Umaga. Hiroaki Nakasawa takes on Tag Champion Miyamae. Tom Gilmore faces off with Mullet Power's Yasunobu Masuno. Junior Title rivals Sensational Dragon and Elemental II test themselves against Steve Flash and Marihito Masuko respectively and there will be more high-energy Junior Division action as the team of Americana, Eagle Kawasawa and Super Joshuya will face off against The Awesome Kiyaru, Fire-Fox and SUKI in six man tag team action. Added to the World Title 'Two-Tier' qualifying matches on Thursday, will Size of the Fight's Kansuke Konda vs P.I.N.K's Tadakuni Toshusai. Steve Flash will partner up with Bulldozer Brandon Smith as the pair take on growing rivals Mullet Power. Plus there will be Junior Division action with Golden Scorpion taking on Super Joshuya and a 4-corner survival featuring Chuichi Sanda, Dynamite Narahashi, SUKI and Fire-Fox.
