Hokkaido Double Header- Night 1 (Monday) Match 4 in Best of 5 Series: Miyamae vs [B]Shimedzu[/B] [I]- No way is this going less than the full five.[/I] All-Star Tag: Hooded Kudo & Hell Monkey vs [B]Kinnojo Horri & Elemental II[/B] [I]- This is what Hell Monkey exists for; protect Kudo and build up the momentum for Horri & E II.[/I] 15 Man Gauntlet for Openweight Title Shot:Featuring: Bulldozer Brandon Smith, Chuichi Sanda Eagle Kawasawa, Eiji Hamacho, Greg Keith, Heiachiro Sakai, Kenko Takemitsu, Koshiro Ino, Marihito Masuko, Matt Keith, Mokuami Maita, [B]Shingen Miyazaki[/B], [B]SUKI[/B], Tadakuni Toshusai, Yasunobu Masuno [I]- SUKI seems a lock to me, and I'm giving Miyazaki the other for this reason. He trained at NOTBPW so McFly knows him. Miyazaki gets the upset for storyline reasons (SUKI's NOT getting a free title run) and then drops the match to McFly. WINNER: Shingen Miyazaki.[/I] Kansuke Konda vs [B]Rhino Umaga[/B] [B]Hyosuke Kokan[/B] vs Golden Scorpion [I]- Reversing Marcel's picks simply because Umaga and Kokan need the rub and Konda is only about 2 matches away from regaining any overness he might lose.[/I]

The Size of the Fight man was inches away from victory, after rocking the Big Samoan with A little later, Konda then tried to take Umaga down with a Tornado DDT, but Umaga caught him before dumping the Size of the Fight Man with a Samoan Drop. Konda then staggered up to is feet, but was cut in half by a Rhino Charge, and that proved to be enough for Umaga to pick up what many would consider to be an upset victory, despite Umaga's obvious size advantage.

The match itself, at a little under 12 minutes was considerably shorter than the length of matches, the calibre of these workers normally put on, though the quality was still there for all to see with the momentum swinging back and forth on several occassions. The finish saw Kinnojo Horri, go for a Destiny Bomb on Hell Monkey, only for the flame-haired simian battler to slip out and nail the big powerhouse with an Enziguri, before diving off the top turnbuckle and taking Horri down with a Tornado DDT. However Elemental II broke up any chance of a pin attempt, by springing into the ring and taking Hell Monkey down with a flying cross-body. Elemental II then rolled through with the momentum and planted Hell Monkey into the canvas with an Elemental Suplex for a two count. Elemental II then headed up top, but got cut off with a palm thrust from Hooded Kudo, who then grabbed Elemental II from the second rope, before downing the Junior Legend with the Kudo-Kutter. Horri tries to make the save, but Hell Monkey, managed to cut off the attempt and Silver Dragon Feet were able to start the new tour on a winning note.

He did however say that Elemental II has agreed to offer Kudo a deal, a deal that will hopefully prevent us from all hearing anymore of Kudo's whingeing. He said that Hooded Kudo will be facing Elemental II in a singles contest, if Kudo wins he gets Elemental II's World Title Shot, however if Elemental II wins Hooded Kudo does not get a World Title Shot for the entire tour.[/I] [I]Hooded Kudo accepts the offer saying he has little to fear from some over the hill lightweight.

But Keith manages to 'skin the cat' and he takes Masuno by suprise with a chop-block. That unbalances Masuno who is then finally taken down by a clothesline from Bulldozer Brandon Smith - [B]Tadakuni Toshusai[/B] enters and he immediately goes to help Marihito Masuko, who is now battling members of the Pacific Express. [IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_BHOTWG-TadakuniToshusaiPINK.jpg[/IMG] - Meanwhile Masuno and BBS and are battling it out.

[B][COLOR=red]Eliminations No.7 and 8: Yasunobu Masuno at 14:32, Greg Keith at 14:38[/COLOR][/B] Masuko and Toshusai have Takemitsu almost toppling from one of the turnbuckles, Miyazaki then comes charging in to break it up, but the momentum sends Takemitsu over.....however Takemitsu also managed to take Masuko with him to the floor. [B][COLOR=red]Eliminations No.9 and 10: Kenko Takemitsu and Marihito Masuko at 16:14[/COLOR][/B] SUKI then takes down Shingen Miyazaki with Tilt-A-Whirl Head-Scissors..... But before he can follow up Koshiro Ino clothesline the c0cky youngster over the top-rope !

[B][COLOR=red]Elimnation No.12: Koshiro Ino at 19:13[/COLOR][/B] Bulldozer Brandon Smith is back in the mix after taking a breather and he dumps Miyazaki with a German Suplex, he turns his attention to Toshusai, but is cut off with a Mongolian Chop. Toshusai then tries to get BBS over the top-rope but to no avail. Miyazaki is back up and goes charging at the pair with a jumping knee-strike but is instead flip over the top with a huge double team back body drop, crashing on to the floor. [B][COLOR=red]Elimination No.13: Shingen Miyazaki at 20:28[/COLOR][/B] BBS and Toshusai are the final two, left and they immediately go at each other. Toshusai gets the advantage with a poke to the eye, he then softens up BBS with another of his trademark Mongolian Chops, before attempting to set up for the Shock Treatment but he struggles to get the Bulldozer up. BBS rocks Toshusai with a flurry of fore-arm smashes, before bouncing off the ropes and rocking Toshusai with a Lariat. The P.I.N.K man stumbles back towards BBS, into the Back Drop Driver !!! One............ Two............. Three !!! Bulldozer Brandon Smith wins the Gauntlet and will challenge for the Openweight Title on the next show. An exciting fast paced battle royal. Bulldozer Brandon Smith was something of a surprise winner, but a win of this calibre surely signifies that he is no longer going to be content to be amongst the rosters 'job squad' and that the American Powerhouse means business. SUKI still looked like a star, lasting the longest out of anyone in the match (just a bit over 18 minutes in total). Koshiro Ino who came out last, is still suffering from this neck injury that wont seem to heal (working for PGHW during the BHOTWG off-seasona nd ignoring medical advice didn't help) and he's definately not the same performer he was before he got injured.

The fact that it was kept reasonably short was probably a good thing, this time round, as it was clear they weren't really clicking in the ring. The finish saw Kokan take down Scorpion with Tilt-A Whirl Head-Scissors only for Scorpion to get right back on his feet and nail Kokan with the Scorpion Stinger, to pick up the victory and give DANGER AHEAD a real confidence booster by sweeping the singles series, ahead of their Tag Title Challenge on Thursday's show.

It put's over that it's make or break for Shimedzu, who trails the series 2-1, and that it's an opportunity for Miyamae to put the issue to bed early.[/I] [B]Rating: B-[/B] [CENTER][B]Match #5: Match Four in Best of Five Series for [/B] [B]No.1 Contendership [/B][B]to the Burning World Championship:[/B] [B]Miyamae vs Shimedzu[/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][B][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Miyamae.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_KenShimedzu.jpg[/IMG][/B][/CENTER] Instead of letting emotion take over, they both make a tentative start circling one another, befoee eventually locking up, they exchange hold sequences for a while, with neither one able to hold the other one down long enough to take full control of the match. Miyamae manages to take Shimedzu over with a snap-mare and fires in a kick to the back, but Shimedzu gets straight back up and, does the same to Miyamae. Miyamae responds by doing the same again, only for Shimedzu to respond with the same snap-mare, stiff kick to the back sequence. Miyamae goes to the well for a third time, but this time Shimedzu blocks the attempt and counters with a leg whip. Before lifting Miyamae up and dropping his former tag partner over his knees with a gutbuster, Shimedzu stays in control and plants Miyamae chest first across the top-rope before bringing the SDF member crashing back in with a slinghshot suplex...... One.......... Two.......... Miyamae kicks out, but Shimedzu stays in control, and a flurry of chops and kicks soon backs Miyamae into the corner, where Shimedzu sets him up in the tree of woe. Shimedzu goes for the hesistation drop-kick and nails Miyamae with it, who stumbles out of the corner only to be planted into the canvas with an STO. Shimedzu then decides to head up top and goes for a Moonsault, but Miyamae rolls out of the way and Shimedzu ends up tasting the canvas. Miyamae staggers back up to his feet, a split second before Shimedzu, enabling him to nail Shimedzu with an Enziguri and takeback control with a Dragon Screw. Miyamae then begins to work over the inside of Shimedzu's right leg with a series of elbow drops, he then grabs hold of the leg and attempts to look on a Figure Four Leglock but Shimedzu manages to kick him off with his stronger left leg. Shimedzu then tries to get back to his feet, but Miyamae is a step ahead, nailing Shimedzu with a stiff kick to the chest, then following up with another stiff kick to the back. Miyamae then drops down to make the cover, but instead of going for the pin he wraps his legs around Shimedzu's neck and locks on his Snake Poison submission. Miyamae, has it locked on right in the middle of the ring and Shimedzu looks to be fading fast. Referee Omura Umeki takes a look. No sign of life from Shimedzu Umeki takes another look Shimedzu looks like he could be on his way out Umeki with one final check Shimedzu isn't about to give in just yet, and he manages to fight his way to a vertical base, before using the burst of adrenalin to force the rope-break. Shimedzu is still looking worn down though and Miyamae can still sense victory, he goes for the Miyamae Spoiler, but Shimedzu had it scouted and blocks the attempt, before nailing Miyamae with an Enziguri, Miyamae is stunned, Shimedzu then runs the ropes...before launching himself into a hesistation drop-kick that send Miyamae toppling to the outside. A pumped up Shimedzu, then launches himself over the top-rope, taking down Miyamae with a flying cross-body. Shimedzu then picks Miyamae up, and sets up for a Skull-Drop out on the floor but Miyamae manages to put the brakes on. Shimedzu changes tactics rocking Miyamae with a series of kicks, he then goes for a running kick, but Miyamae see's it coming and he sends Shimedzu face first ino the ring-steps. Miyamae is back in control, after taking advantage of Shimedzu's error, he pitches Shimedzu back into the ring and it's clearly visible that Shimedzu has been busted open....... Miyamae see's this and begins to toy with Shimedzu, gouging his thumb into the gash across Shimedzu's forehead. He then taunts Shimedzu to get up.........Shimedzu obliges but is soon cut off by another stiff kick and is then flung onto the canvas with an Exploder Suplex.......... One............. Two.................. Thr................ Noooo !!! Shimedzu got his foot on the ropes. Miyamae stays in control with a flurry of strikes, before planting Shimedzu into the mat with a Rolling Cutter. He then decides to head up top , but his over-confidence is misplaced as Shimedzu gets back to his feet, then stumbles against the ring-ropes forcing Miyamae to crotch himself on the top turnbuckle. Shimedzu makes his way up the turnbuckle, and attemtps to suplex Miyamae back in, only to be shoved off.....Miyamae then re-sets himself, but Shimedzu bounces right back up and then takes Miyamae by surprise with the TOTAL ANARCHY !! (Moonsault side-slam) To the outside !!!! Both of them look dead....... and referee Omura Umeki may have no choice but to throw the match out....... Miraculously both of them get up and make it into the ring. Miyamae is actually the one to take control first with a flurry of chops, he whips Shimedzu into the ropes, but the 2007 Super 10 Cup winner comes back with a springboard roundhouse, but Miyamae shakes it off and comes back with a kick of his own, to Shimedzu's mid-section. He sets up for the Miyamae Spoiler, but Shimedzu manages to slip out of it, and counters with a backslide ! One......... Two......... Miyamae can't seem to get his shoulders off the map Three !!! Shimedzu levels the series, not with one of the big moves in his arsenal but with a simple pinning combination. Miyamae naturally looks frustrated, that he was beaten by such a simple manouevre and unable to put the series away.

The Junior legend then keeps up the pressure with a flurry of kicks, before pitching the former 4 time World Champion into the ring. Elemental II then decides to go up top, but that gives Hooded Kudo time to get to his feet, who catches Elemental II with a palm thrust. The Silver Dragon Feet leader then sends Elemental II crashing back into the ring with an iconoclasm, before climbing up onto the middle turnbuckle and nailing the Junior legend with an elbow drop. Kudo then lifts Elemental II up , before planting the former 6 time Junior champion into the mat with a side Russian leg-sweep. Kudo then applies the Kudo-Lock, but Elemental II was able to roll his bodyweight over to the ropes to force a rope-break. Kudo then manages to sneak in a low-blow on the rope-break, doubling Elemental II over and leaving him open to the KUDO DRIVER ' 99 (Cross Arm Piledriver ) One....... Two......... Thr........ To Kudo's disbelief Elemental II is able to kick out. A frustrated Kudo, then lifts Elemental II back up and fires in a flurry of knife edge chops, he then whips Elemental II across the ring and sets up for the Kudo Kutter, but the Junior legend ducks under, then uses the momentum of the ring ropes to nail Kudo with a drop-kick. Elemental II then nails Kudo with another drop-kick that sends the Silver Dragon Feet leader out of the ring. Kudo tries to shake the cobwebs from his head, but Elemental II gives him no respite, crashing into Kudo with his trademark handspring plancha. Elemental II gets back in the ring then climbs up the turnbuckle, It looks like he is going to hit another aerial move to the outside, but then Kudo gets back in the ring. However Elemental II suddenly changes direction and he dives out on to Kudo, before using the momentum to take the former World Champion down with a Tornado DDT....... One............. Two......... Hooded Kudo kicks out. Kudo starts to fight back to his feet, with a series of shots to Elemental II's mid-section. He then attempts to get Elemental II up for a Death Valley Driver, but the Junior legend is able to slip off, before nailing Kudo with the Tri-Fecta Kick Series. Kudo is now doubled over and Elemental II tries for an Elemental Driver, but Kudo holds firm and he pitches Elemental II over with a back body drop. But the Junior legend lands on his feet and as Kudo turns around, he gets knocked silly with another Roundhouse Kick. Elemental II then spins Kudo around and dumps him with an Elemental Suplex !!! One..... Two.......... Kudo powers out of the pin attempt, he then takes Elemental II off his feet with a Dragon Screw leg-whip, Elemental II staggers to his feet and Kudo lets go a rapid flurry of knife edge chops that back Elemental II up into the corner. He then plants the Junior legend down with an STO, and winds up for the face-wash, but just as he is about to deliver it a large man in a pink hooded top emerges from under the ring and grabs the ankle of Kudo. Referee Koetsu Shinozaki briefly see's this but suddenly the hooded man is gone, however it proved enough of a distraction for Elemental II to get back to his feet and nail a disorientated Kudo with a step up Enziguri, The Junior legend then plants Kudo into the mat with a Tornado DDT, before heading up top. The Hooded man re-emerges, but he chooses to do nothing this time and Elemental II is able to land the INFERNO SPLASH !!! One............ Two.............. Three !!!! Elemental II is able to keep his World Title Shot, whilst Hooded Kudo's hopes of regaining the World Title are now in tatters for the rest of the tour, but who was the hooded man and what business does he have with Kudo ?

Hooded Kudo stands in the middle of the ring dejected, suddenly the large man in the Pink Hooded top, sneaks up behind him, lifts Kudo up with a military press, before sending Kudo out of the ring, and crashing through a table. The large man, then takes off his hood and reveals himself to be adorned with Pink face paint, on closer inspection, we then see that it is former GCG star [B][U]Toshiharu Hyobanshi.[/U][/B] [CENTER][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HyobanshiPINK-1.jpg[/IMG][URL="http://i137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/HyobanshiPINK.jpg?t=1206139434"][/URL][/CENTER] That's when P.I.N.K leader Marihito Masuko entererd the ring with a microphone.

[B][U][SIZE=3][COLOR=darkred]Purogods.com[/COLOR][/SIZE][/U][/B] BHOTWG Mists of the Unknown Tour kicked off with the shocking appearance of Toshiharu Hyobanshi, the ex GCG mainstay made his prescence felt by interfering in the unadvertised main event between Hooded Kudo and Elemental II. The former GCG Champion, was then revealed to be the newest recruit to the P.I.N.K faction led by Marihito Masuko. An angered Hooded Kudo , who will now be unable to challenge for the World Title for the rest of the tour due to his loss to Elemental II, demanded that he faces Hyobanshi in a match. BHOTWG have partially granted him in his wish, putting him in Tag Team match, where he will team with Miyamae to take on Hyobanshi and Masuko. Still headlining the second night of the Hokkaido Double Header will be the All-Star 4 Corner Survival match. The match will feature Junior Champion Sensational Dragon, rival Elemental Americana, former two time Openweight Champion Tom Gilmore and SUKI who once agaibn impressed in Night One's Gauntlet match, despite not coming away with the victory. Talking of the Gauntlet match, the surprise winner of that match Bulldozer Brandon Smith, goes into the biggest match of his young career, when he takes on Sean McFly who has yet to be pinned or submit during his tenure with BHOTWG. Can McFly keep his incredible run of form going or will BBS cause another shock and be the one to de-rail the International superstar. Also putting their Titles on the line will be Size of the Fight, as they put the World Tag Team Titles up against DANGER AHEAD, who go into the match with momentum on their side after sweeping the singles series on Monday's show against the Tag Champs. Rounding out the card Shimedzu will be hoping to keep his winning start to the new tour going, when he takes on former stable-mate Hell Monkey, Junior Division veteran The Awesome Kiyaru faces off with U.S Indy standout Mikey James and young lion Narihira Arita faces a tough initiaiton in the form of Yasunobu Masuno.

This was a good back and forth battle, with some seriously stiff kick exchanges. The finish stretch saw Hell Monkey take down Shimedzu with a Spinning Leg Sweep (after ducking a springboard roundhouse from Shimedzu), then head up top for the Tumbling Monkey. However the flame-haired SDF member proved to be overconfident and Shimedzu was able to get his knees-up. Shimedzu then took immediate advantage by driving Hell Monkey into the mat with the Skull-Drop to pick up the victory.

They lock up at the start with a collar and elbow tie up, and BBS overpowers McFly. McFly gets right back up but is immediately knocked down with a Running Hip Attack. BBS picks McFly up and whips the champion into the turnbuckle, before following in with a flurry of lefts and rights. McFly staggers out of the corner and is then dumped half-way across the ring with a Fall-Away Slam. One..... Two........ McFly kicks out. BBS is in total control and McFly looks to be in trouble. BBS sets up for the Backdrop Driver, but McFly fights out with elbows. BBS regains control with a fore-arm smash and once again tries for the Back Drop Driver, but McFly fights his way out again. The Bulldozer changes tactic and whips McFly into the ropes, he goes for a Lariat, but McFly ducks under and then catches BBS with an Enziguri. McFly then plants BBS into the canvas with an STO. He then grabs hold of Bulldozers' leg and starts to apply an inverted cloverleaf, but BBS is able to kick McFly off, and the strength of his kick sends McFly through the ring-ropes and out of the ring. BBS gets back to his feet but it's clear that he is hobbled. McFly gets back in, but BBS is waiting to strike with a 3 point tackle, but McFly saw it coming and moves out of the way. BBS hit's the turnbuckle, staggers out and it then taken down with a chop block. McFly homes in on the right knee (the same knee that forced BBS to give up his dreams of pro football) . After several minutes of working over the knee McFly goes to lock on the Stone-Hold. BBS is able to fight his way out of the hold again, kicking McFly off with his good leg. He then explodes into life taking McFly down with an explosive Lariat. One....... Two......... McFly kicks out. BBS is feeling it though, and he picks a dazed McFly up, he sets up for the Atomic Driller (Piledriver) but McFly slips out, and nails BBS with another Enziguri. BBS comes back with another Lariat attempt, but this time McFly ducks under, then springboards off the ropes taking BBS down with the WAY OF THE FUTURE ! (Springboard inverted DDT) One....... Two........ BBS kicks out and keeps his Openweight Championship hopes alive. BBS then powers to his feet, with McFly on his shoulders, but the Openweight Champion is a step ahead and he takes the Bulldozer down with a Crucifix Bomb. McFly then grabs the legs of a stunned BBS, and gets the STONE HOLD !! locked on. Bulldozer tries to dig down and get to the ropes, but the pain is too much to bear and he taps out. It wasn't on the same level as McFly's encounters with Tom Gilmore, and no one would have expected it to be, but for BBS's first title match up, the former college football star did a pretty good job and at least looked like he could cause the upset, even if almost everyone in the crowd felt that it was highly unlikely. That's now Defence No.4 for McFly, who needs 6 more to reach the magic 10.

Things then settled down with Masuko isolated in the corner of the Silver Dragon Feet pair, but just as he was about to put Masuko away with the Miyamae Spoiler, the P.I.N.K leader sneaked in a low blow. This drew a warning from Koetsu Shinozaki, but the brief distraction enabled Toshiharu Hyobanshi to come round , and pull Kudo off the apron, before dropping the former World Champion face first onto the ring-steps. With Kudo temporarily out of action, Miyamae found himself isolated in the P.I.N.K corner. Against all odds though Miyamae managed to hang in, as P.I.N.K perhaps became over-confident that they had the match in the bag, and when Miyamae got the knees up on a senton from Masuko, and was then able to halt Hyobanshi with an Enziguri/Drop Toe Hold combination, he was able to get the hot tag into Hooded Kudo. The former World Champion unloaded on both members of P.I.N.K , but just as he was about to take Masuko down with the Kudo Kutter, Hyobanshi was able to pull his tag partner out of the ring and they started to high tail it up the ramp. Kudo and Miyamae then gave chase, but they fell into P.I.N.K's trap, as the face painted pair, levelled the SDF duo with chair-shots. P.I.N.K then tried to get back in the ring, but Kudo and Miyamae got right back up , and denied them coming back with chair-shots of their own. Soon it broke down into total chaos, with all four men brawling wildly on the outside of the ring, and Koetsu Shinozaki was left with no choice but to call the match as double count-out.

Scorpion tags in Umaga, Konda takes the fight right to the big Samoan, but a clothesline puts the Size of the Fight Man down. Konda tags in Kokan, who launches himself at Umaga, only to be caught and dumped with a Samoan Drop. Early pin attempt by Umaga One........ Two....... Kokan kicks out, but he now finds himself isolated in the DANGER AHEAD corner. Umaga and Scorpion work quick tags to wear Kokan down. Umaga picks Kokan up for a vertical suplex, and an assist from Scorpion with a drop-kick, that earns a two count. Umaga then puts Kokan into a backbreaker rack position, and Scorpion goes up top. Scorpion goes for the double stomp, but he ends up sailing over Umaga, who has been crucifixed bombed by Kokan. Scorpion goes for the Scorpion Stinger on Kokan, but the Size of the Fight man manages to duck out of the way, and he rolls through to get the tag into Konda, who connects with a flying fore-arm on Scorpion. Konda plants Scorpion into the canvas with a Running Bull-Dog. Konda then follows up with the mushroom stomps, before tagging Kokan back in, who connects with a slingshot leg-drop. One....... Two......... Scorpion is able to kick out, but remains in trouble in the Size of the Fight corner. Konda's back in and they pull out a Double Flapjack, that gets a two count. They then take down Scorpion with the leg-sweep/Flying Cross Body combination, they go for the cover again........ One........ Two........ Umaga comes in to break it up, before being ordered back to his corner. Scorpion remains in trouble and is downed with the FINAL IMPACT (Flapjack/DDT combo)....... One......... Two....... Thr......... Umaga charges in again, to break it up, and then cleans house on both members of Size of the Fight. He tosses Kokan out of the ring, before dumping Konda with a scoop power-slam Umaga gets himself officially tagged back into the match, but that gives Konda time to get to his feet. Konda rocks Umaga with a roaring elbow, but the big Samoan shakes it off , and comes right back with a big lariat. Konda then staggers back up, but is cut in half with a RHINO CHARGE !! One........ Two.......... Kokan dives in to make the save. Umaga goes after Kokan, but the Size of the Fight man uses his speed to spring off the ropes and stun Umaga with a Leg Lariat, he then uses the momentum to dive off the top turnbuckle and spike Umaga on his head with a Tornado DDT !! One......... Two......... Golden Scorpion breaks up the pin, with a Frogsplash !!! He then lifts Kokan up and drills the tag champion into the mat with a Brainbuster. Scorpion then decides to go out onto the apron, and sets up for the Golden Shot (Slingshot leg-drop) but Konda is suddenly back up and he knocks Scorpion off the apron with a roaring elbow. However Umaga is up too and, the big Samoan dumps Konda with a German Suplex, but Konda gets right back up to his feet, much to the surprise of Umaga, who is then rocked with another one of Konda's trademark roaring elbows. Umaga doesn't go down , but Konda keeps the pressure on with a flurry of fore-arm strikes. Another roaring elbow has Umaga rocking and then left open to the BIG FIGHT STUNNER !! One..... Two...... Scorpion tries to make the save, but is cut off by Kokan. Three !!! Size of the Fight retain the World Tag Team Championships. Another good match up, between these two teams , though the finish was virtually identical to their match at Sword of Destiny, with Umaga falling victim to Konda's Big Fight Stunner.

SUKI and Elemental Americana start things out, and the former Junior Champion gets the better of a chain wrestling sequence. SUKI then tag in Tom Gilmore. More basic chain wrestling follows, this time leading to a stand-off. Elemental Americana points to Sensational Dragon and asks Gilmore to tag the Junior champ in. Gilmore obliges but Sensational Dragon climbs down off the apron. Elemental Americana and Tom Gilmore go back at it, Gilmore whips Elemental Americana against the ropes, but the former Junior Champion comes back with a Leg Lariat. Gilmore staggers back and is then blind-tagged by Sensational Dragon, who takes Elemental Americana down with a springboard drop-kick. Americana gets back up but Dragon aims a spinning heel kick into Americana's lower extremities, before snappiong off a suplex...... One..... Two........ Americana kicks out. Dragon then tags in SUKI and the pair decide to work together for a bit, to try and wear down the Elemental III in waiting. As is always the case with these 'alliances', when one of them decides to go for the cover it breaks down and that is exactly what happened when SUKI went for the cover after a Northern Lights Suplex. Dragon and SUKI, begin to have a shoving match with each other and all this does is allow Elemental Americana to get back to his feet. The former Junior champion then nails SUKI in the back of the head with an Enziguri, before driving Sensational Dragon into the mat with a swinging DDT. Elemental Americana then slumps down to the mat and scrambles over to get the tag into Gilmore. SUKI cuts Americana off, but the Elemental III in waiting, is able to roll through the legs and he gets the tag in to the former two time Openweight Champion. Gilmore stuns SUKI with a double knee facebuster, before planting the arrogant youngster down with a sidewalk slam. Sensational Dragon tries to take Gilmore by surprise with a flying spinning heel kick, but Gilmore is able to duck under and he rocks Dragon with a palm strike, before sending the Junior Champion out of the ring with a standing drop-kick. SUKI is back up but Gilmore cuts off any chance of a comeback with a clubbing blow to the back, before dumping SUKI with an Exploder Suplex....... One..... Two........ Elemental Americana dives in to make the save. Elemental Americana unloads with a flurry of kicks on Gilmore, but the former Openweight Champion, manages to shake off the attack and plants Americana into the mat with a Reverse STO. He then attempts to lock on the Stone-Hold but Americana manages to kick him off, before stunning Gilmore with an Enziguri and planting the former SWF star into the mat with a rolling cutter, Elemental Americana then heads up top, but is cut off by SUKI, who then sends the former Junior Champion crashing back into the ring with a release Dragon Suplex off the top-rope !!! SUKI then scrambles across to make the cover........ One...... Two......... Sensational Dragon breaks up the pin with a standing moonsault. He then grabs hold of SUKI and pulls out the DRAGON SLICE !! But just as Dragon is about to go for the cover, Tom Gilmore sneaks up behind and he dumps the Junior Champion with an Elemental Suplex....... One..... Two...... Dragon kicks out. But Gilmore remains in control, he whips Dragon against the ropes and sets up for Anger Management. But Elemental Americana is back up and he takes Gilmore by surprise with a standing drop-kick, that sends Gilmore out of the ring. Dragon is back up, but Elemental Americana is as step ahead, cutting off Dragon's comeback with the Tri-Fecta kick series. Americana then double under-hooks Dragon's arms and drives the Junior Champion into the mat with the ELEMENTAL DRIVER !!! But SUKI is back up and he stuns Americana with a running knee, just as the Elemental III in waiting is about to make the cover.........Americana then staggers back up to his feet, but his taken down with Tilt-A-Whirl Head-Scissors from SUKI who then locks on the SUKI Special....... Gilmore is back in to break up the submission. Sensational Dragon has climbed the top turnbuckle and he sends Gilmore out of the ring with a missile drop kick. SUKI is back up and sends Dragon out of the ring with a drop-kick of his own. Elemental Americana then joins in with the drop-kick fun sending SUKI out of the ring with a drop-kick. Americana then winds up and goes for the handpsring somersault plancha, but he puts the brakes on and fakes everyone out with the Elemental Daze Kick, just as it looked like he was just going to wait it out for one of the others to come back into the ring, he slinghsots himself over the rope into a flying cross-body. Americana and SUKI are back in the ring. SUKI manages to get the better of a few strike exchanges, and then whips Americana agains the ropes, but is taken down with a springboard back elbow. Sensational Dragon then tries to take Americana by suprise springing into the ring, but the Elemental III in waiting, catches the Junior champion in mid-air, and drives Dragon into the mat with a Falcon Arrow...... One..... Two...... Dragon kicks out and Elemental Americana heads up top. But he gets cut off by Tom Gilmore who brings him crashing back in with an Iconoclasm. Elemental Americana staggers back to his feet, but stumbles right into the ANGER MANAGEMENT (Sit Out Spinning Power Bomb) One..... Two.......... Dragon and SUKI dive across to try and make the save..... But there too late, as referee Omura Umeki counts to three. As was to be expected, these four put on an excellent match up, that got pretty wild by the end. On the grand scheme of things this was one of those fairly meanginless match-ups but it's still a good victory for Gilmore, that keeps the former Openweight Champion looking strong and perhaps enhances his World Title credentials.

Relampago probably took the most punishment during the match up, but it was Mikey James who took the pinfall after being nailed with the Vision Quest from Eagle Kawasawa, as the most experienced man in the match up picked up the win over the pair of rookies.

Sakai actually started out the stronger, the highlight of which included him disorientating the P.I.N.K man with an Airplane Spin Toss. But Maita found a way back into the match, even if they were far from legal (a thumb to the eye and a back rake) and when Maita managed to get the Ankle-Lock there was no choice for the young lion but to tap out.

In the end frustration at being able to pick up the victory got to the Keith's and they began to make rookie mistakes, allowing the Pacific Express back into the match up and in the end the more established duo were able to pick up the victory when they put Matt Keith away with the Pacification (Enziguri assisted Reverse STO).

The fact that Flash was able to hang in with Gilmore for so long, frustrated the former two time Openweight Champion, who was hoping to follow his victory in Thursday's 4 Corner survival with a fairly comfortable victory. The finishing sequence saw Steve Flash rock Gilmore with a Spinning Back Elbow, then set up for the Flash Bang, but Gilmore managed to shrug him off, whip Flash against the ropes and use the momentum to drive the de-mulleted veteran into the mat with the Anger Management.

I'm not aiming for what I got with the NYC Invasion shows, I specifically went for PPV quality cards with those shows, and the fact that those exceeded expectations, has given me the confidence that I still put on a reasonably good quality set of shows, without going 'all out'. At this moment in time even a pretty poor card (I'm taking something in the C range) is going to increase our popularity outside of Japan.

[B][U][SIZE=3][COLOR=darkred]Purogods.com[/COLOR][/SIZE][/U][/B] BHOTWG continue the Mists of the Unknown Tour, when they visit The Kunamoto Sports Field in Kyushu on Monday 8th September, then the Tochigi Sports Stadium in Kanto on Thursday 11th September Headlining Mondays show will be Hiroaki Nakasawa's first defence of the Burning World Championship, as he puts the belt on the line against Elemental II. Elemental II who earned his shot at the title as one of the winning trio of the Trios Tournament back in April, said that the feels in great form following his win over Hooded Kudo last week and that now would be as good as time as any to attempt to claim a prize that alluded the original Elemental. Elemental II further commented, by saying that he realises that it will be a tough task and that Nakasawa is also on great form, but he said that the Elemental legacy was built on facing and beating the best at their best. But that's not all for Title match action, as Sensational Dragon makes his first defence of his fourth reign with the Burning Junior Championship, when he takes on The Awesome Kiyaru. The other high profile match up for the Kyushu show will see Hooded Kudo team up with fellow Silver Dragon Feet member Hell Monkey, as they battle the P.I.N.K duo of Toshiharu Hyobanshi and Mokuami Maita. P.I.N.K appear to no longer be content with their place in the BHOTWG hiearchy, claiming that their message has not been getting across, and the most dominant faction in recent BHOTWG history Silver Dragon Feet appears to be their main target. The addition of former GCG champion Toshiharu Hyobanshi to their ranks, certainly makes them a force to be reckoned with. Meanwhile P.I.N.K leader Marihito Masuko will also be in action, taking on former Junior Champion Elemental Americana. There will be a 4 corner survival featuring a mix of experience and up and coming performers in the form of Kinnojo Horri, Bulldozer Brandon Smith, Steve Flash and Heiachiro Sakai . The rookie Keith Brothers of Matt and Greg, face a tough test when they take on recent Tag Title challengers DANGER AHEAD and Tom Gilmore will be hoping to keep his winning start to the tour, going when he takes on Kenko Takemitsu of the Pacific Express. Thursdays show from the Tochigi Sports Stadium in Kanto will be headlined by the deciding match in the Best of 5 Series between former Tag partners turned rivals Shimedzu and Miyamae. Shimedzu managed to keep the series alive by getting the victory in Match 4 and goes into the final match with momentum on his side, but given the way the series has swung back and forth Miyamae cannot be counted out. As well as personal pride being on the line, the winner will also be guaranteed a spot in the World Title match at Quest of Heart on Saturday 20th September. Fans of the all-action Junior Division will be in for a treat when the stars of the Junior Division take part in a 4 way Tag Team Scramble Match, the winning duo will be guaranteed involvement in a 3-way Junior Title match, that will headline the show the following Monday. The teams taking part will be Junior Champion Sensational Dragon and fellow Silver Dragon Feet member Hell Monkey, Team Elemental of Elemental Americana and Elemental II, the P.I.N.K duo of Marihito Masuko and Mokuami Maita and The Awesome Kiyaru & Golden Scorpion. BHOTWG officials have said that if should either of the Dragon/Monkey or Kiyaru/Scorpion duo's should win the match and either one is champion following Monday's show, then the winner of the Elemental Americana-Marihito Masuko match from Monday's show will be inserted into the Junior Title match the following Monday. Also on Thursdays show Hiroaki Nakasawa (who still hopes to be World Champion) faces DANGER AHEAD's Rhino Umaga in Non Title action. Sean McFly teams up with his most recent challenger to the Openweight Title Bulldozer Brandon Smith, when they take on SUKI and his hired gun Yasunobu Masuno. Rounding out the show Tom Gilmore faces off with the other half of the Pacific Express Shingen Miyazaki, following his match up with Kenko Takemitsu on Monday's show, young lion Narihira Arita faces the daunting task of going one on one with P.I.N.K's powerhouse Toshiharu Hyobanshi and Koshiro Ino takes on Hirokumi Saito.

As for his opponent tonight, he said that he respects Elemental II and considers the Junior Divsion legend an ally but he would be not taking him any more lightly than he does a true enemy like Hooded Kudo and that he had no intention of losing the title, after working so hard to get it back round his waist.[/I] [B]Rating: B[/B] [CENTER][B]______________________________________________________[/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][B]Match #1: Elemental Americana vs Marihito Masuko[/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][B][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_AmericanElemental.jpg[/IMG] vs [IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_MarihitoMasuko.jpg[/IMG][/B][/CENTER] Disappointing match, considering the talent of both of these workers, both of whom are former Junior Champions, though some may of forgotten that Masuko held the belt at the back end of 2006 and at the start of 2007. The match never really got into a good flow, due to them not quite being on the same page as each other. Chemistry is a funny thing and unfortunately these two didn't have it, there was a glimpses of brilliance from either man, that prevented the contest from being a total disaster, but it could have been so much better. The finish saw Elemental Americana block an Into The White attempt from Masuko, with a standing drop-kick, before heaidng up top to set up for the Inferno Splash. However Toshiharu Hyobanshi hopped up on the apron to distract referee Koetsu Shinozaki, this then enabled Mokuami Maita to hop over the guard-rail and shove Elemental Americana off the turnbuckle. Then as Americana stumbled back to his feet Masuko took advantage by driving the Elemental III in waiting into the mat with the Masuko Cradle Shock, to pick up the slight upset victory. [COLOR=red][B]Result: Marihito Masuko defeated Elemental Americana in 11:43 by pinfall .[/B][/COLOR] [COLOR=red][B]Rating: B[/B][/COLOR] [I]Masuko then orders that Elemental Americana should be made an 'example' of and the P.I.N.K trio go to work on delivering a beatdown to the former Junior Champion. [/I] [I]Elemental Americana is saved however from a really serious beating, when he gets help from an unlikely source in Silver Dragon Feet duo Hooded Kudo and Hell Monkey. Mitsuhide Muro on the commentary team makes the comment, that Sensational Dragon can't be too happy that his 'allies' are helping save his most hated rival. [/I] [I]Elemental Americana gets a second wind and makes Masuko high tail to the back, whilst Kudo & Monkey and Maita & Hyobanshi begin to brawl in the ring, eventually leading to Shinozaki to call for the bell and to start their scheduled tag team contest.[/I] [B]Rating: C+[/B] [CENTER][B]Match #2: Hooded Kudo & Hell Monkey vs[/B] [B]P.I.N.K (Toshiharu Hyobanshi & Mokuami Maita)[/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HoodedKudo.jpg[/IMG] [B]&[/B] [IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HellMonkeyB.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [CENTER][B][SIZE=3]vs[/SIZE][/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HyobanshiPINK-1.jpg[/IMG] [B]&[/B] [IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_MokuamiMaita_alt1.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] Not much 'wrestling' in this one , in what was a wild brawl from start to finish. Due to emotions running high during the match up, Shinozaki seemed to be pretty lenient with the rules, turning a blind eye to some shenanighans going on outside of the ring, such as the use of chairs. In-fact it was the chairs that would prove decisive, as Hyobanshi sent Hooded Kudo over the guard-rail and with a huge back body drop, that sent the former World Champion crashing onto a pile of chairs. Meanwhile, whilst that was happening Hell Monkey had just managed to avoid the ankle-lock from Maita, before dumping the smaller P.I.N.K member with a Rolling Release German Suplex. He then headed up top to set up for the Tumbling Monkey but was shoved off by Hyobanshi. Hyobanshi then got himself officially tagged in, nailed Hell Monkey with a Yazuza Kick, then lifted him up onto this shoulders before driving the Flame Haired Junior Divisions star into the canvas with the Nova Bomb Redux (Inverted Death Valley Driver) Hooded Kudo was back up, and back in the ring, fighting past Maita, but it proved too little , too late as the P.I.N.K duo scored the victory and send a further message that Silver Dragonn Feet's time as the top faction in BHOTWG may be coming to an end.

Takemitsu got in enough 'token' offence to keep things interesting and at one point looked he might be able to pul out the Canada-2-Japan (Cobra Clutch Suplex) which would have brought him the upset victory, but in the end the former two time Openweight Champion had too much experience and Gilmore was able to pick up the victory with the Anger Management (Sit-Out Spinning Power Bomb) [B][COLOR=red]Result: Tom Gilmore defeated Kenko Takemitsu in 7:04 by pinfall.[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=red]Rating: A[/COLOR][/B] [CENTER][B]___________________________________________________[/B][/CENTER] [I]Tetsuzan [B]'I've only a got a job because I'm best pals with the boss'[/B] Kaneko now catches up with the Challenger for the World Title, Elemental II.[/I] [I]Elemental II said that it is everyone's dream to become World Champion, and though he had found success in the Junior Division and is proud of his Six Burning Junior Championship, he said that he would trade them all in to claim the ultimate prize and to become the Burning World Champion.[/I] [B]Rating: C+[/B] [CENTER][B]_____________________________________________________[/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][B]Match #4: Four Corner Survival:[/B] [B]Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs Heiachiro Sakai vs [/B] [B]Kinnojo Horri vs Steve Flash[/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_BulldozerBrandonSmith.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HeihachiroSakai_alt2.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [CENTER][B][SIZE=3]vs[/SIZE][/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_KinnojoHorri.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_SteveFlash_alt.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] A fairly short 4 Corner Survival but that might of been all the better for it , as they got right into the action, instead of 'going throught the motions' for the first half of the match up, as these matches so often do. The finishing sequence saw Steve Flash take Kinnojo Horri by surprise with the Flash Bang, only to be taken down immediately with the Sakai Suplex (it's another variation on the Cobra Clutch Suplex as a finisher, I think Takemitsu may have to have a word with Sakai, that he's basically using the same finisher) from Heiachiro Sakai. Sakai thought he was about to score the first 'big' victory of his career, but he took too long to go for the cover and paid the price by being dumped with the Backdrop Driver from Bulldozer Brandon Smith, as young Gaijin continued his impressive form a the start of the current tour.

One cool spot saw The Keith's put Golden Scorpion in a double submission, with Greg applying the Proton Lock and Matt appyling a Figure Leg-Lock, only for Rhino Umaga to make the save at the last split second. In the end DANGER AHEAD's experience came through, as the Keith's never quite recovered from being able to put Scorpion away with the double submission and it was Matt who fell victim to the Rhino Charge/Scorpion Stinger sequence dubbed as 'Double the Danger'.

They start with some fast paced chain wrestling, Kiyaru starts to come out on top of the exchanges, which frustrates Dragon and the Champion goes out for a a Powder. Kiyaru gives him not time to rest though and 3 time BOSJ Cup winner launches himself over the ropes with a somersault plancha. However Sensational Dragon manages to side step out of the way at the last split second and Kiyaru crashes and burns. Dragon then rolls Kiyaru back into the ring and goes for a rather nonchalant cover. Kiyaru easily kicks out of the cover. Dragon remains in control though, taunting Kiyaru with a flurry of weak kicks that keep the challenger down, but are not putting the veteran away. All Dragon's arrogance eventually does is fire Kiyaru back up who, suddenly takes the Silver Dragon Feet member by surprise with a spinning leg-sweep, before springing off the ropes into a Quebrada. One......... Two.......... Dragon kicks out, he then tries to roll out for another powder, but Kiyaru catches hold of Dragon before he can escape, rolling up the Champion into a small package..... One....... Two......... Dragon kicks out, but Kiyaru has a hold of the champions right leg, and he turns Dragon over into a single leg Boston Crab. Dragon begins to rise up from the submission, so Kiyaru changes tactic, taking Dragon off his feet with a Dragon Screw Leg-Whip. Kiyaru then heads up top, as he looks to finish Dragon off with the Magic Cloud. However Kiyaru waa looking for his finisher a bit too early, and Dragon was back up to his feet, but Kiyaru managed to stay a step ahead, and the veteran performer dived off the turnbuckle to take Dragon down with a Tornado DDT. Dragon managed to get back to his feet but Kiyaru cut off any attempt at a fightback with the Awesome Mirage (a series of kicks that includes 2 spinning heel kicks, ending with a roundhouse) before planting Dragon into the canvas with a Falcon Arrow. One.... Two..... Thr........ Dragon managed to kick out, but remained planted to the canvas. Kiyaru then decided to go out onto the apron, before springboarding himself back in with a Shootin Star Press. But that high risk move proved to be a mistake, as Dragon got the knees up. The Junior Champion then pulled the tights of Kiyaru, and tried to still the victory with a small package.......... One........ Two......... Kiyaru managed to kick out, and managed to fight his way back up to his feet, but Dragon took back control with a flurry of knee strikes into Kiyaru's mid section, whipping Kiyaru into the ropes. Dragon went for a drop-kick, but Kiyaru managed to duck under came back off the ropes and took Dragon down with a spinning head-scissors, Dragon however managed to spring back up to his feet and he he had the last word with a springboard back elbow. Kiyaru bounced back off the ropes, and was dumped with a Dragon Suplex...... One....... Two........ Kiyaru kicked out. Dragon then went for a standing moonsault, but Kiyaru moved out of the way. Dragon managed to land on his feet, but was sent tumbling out of the ring with a drop-kick from Kiyaru. Kiyaru then sprang off the ropes , taking down Dragon with an Arabian Press. Kiyaru then rolled Dragon back into the ring and went for a quick cover. Dragon managed to kick out, and managed to fight his way back up to his feet but Dragon's comeback was cut off with a spinning heel kick to the mid-section, and the was then panted into the canvas with a Uranage, before Kiyaru decide to once again go airborne and head up to the top turnbuckle. Kiyaru soared off the top turnbuckle, but was cut off in mid-move with a drop-kick from Dragon that sent Kiyaru flipping backwards in mid-air. Kiyaru landed hard and Dragon was there to take full advantage , grabbing hold of Kiyaru's neck before taking the former 3 time BOSJ Cup Winner down with the Dragon Slice........... One.............. Two.............. Three !!! Another excellent Burning Junior Championship, match in an endless series of them. This was fast paced action all the way and the likes of Kiyaru, are really starting to step it up, to the point where they can be considered as viable challengers for the title and the standard set by the likes of Sensational Dragon and the Elemental's wont be compromised.

Naturally Nakasawa begins to win the test of strength but Elemental II breaks up the hold with a series of low kicks. Elemental II continues with the kicking strategy, which begins to rock Naksawa, and it's clear 'the test of strength' was an early psychogical tactic to get Naksasawa into a false sense of security. Nakasawa stays on his feet however and Elemental II begins to get a little desperate, the Junior legend springs off the ropes, but is turned inside out with a Lariat from the World Champion....... One..... Two......... Elemental II kicks out. Nakasawa then picks Elemental II up and he dumps the former six time Junior Champion with a German Suplex. But Elemental II lands on his feet, and the Junior Legend stuns Nakasawa with a drop-kick. Nakasawa again manages to stay on his feet, but Elemental II keeps up the pressure, going low with a baseball slide that has Nakasawa rocking.....before going out onto the apron, then taking launching himself onto Nakasawa with a flying cross body. But Nakasawa managed to catch him in mid move, before turning the 2007 BOSJ Cup winner over into the vertical suplex position, then sending the Junior legend crashing back down onto the canvas, after about 30 seconds, where Nakasawa left Elemental II hanging upside down, with the blood rushing to the head. One...... Two....... Despite being disorientated Elemental II managed to kick out. But Nakasawa could smell victory, he lifted Elemental II back up and he whipped the Junior Division legend into the ropes , to set up for the H-Bomb, but Elemental II managed to duck under the attempt, before springing back in the opposite direction to take Nakasawa by surprise with a spinning head-Scissors. Nakasawa stumbled back up to his feet, but Elemental II then nailed the World Champion with a step up Enziguri, before planting Nakasawa into the mat with a somersault DDT. Then instead of going for the cover, Elemental II locked on the Elemental Clutch. Elemental II had the submission locked on right in the middle of the ring, and it was started to wear Nakasawa down. Referee Omura Umeki took a look....... No response from Nakasawa........ Umeki took another look......... Still no response from the World Champion........... Umeki raised Nakasawa's arm for one final time....... This time Nakasawa started to power his way back up to a vertical base, Elemental II then tried to fight his way off Nakasawa's shoulders with elbows, just as it looked like Nakasawa was about to dump the Junior legend with a Death Valley Driver type of move. Just as it looked like Nakasawa was about to do just that, Elemental II's persistant elbow shots, sent Nakasawa stumbling towards one of the turnbuckles. Elemental II then used the turnbuckle as a launching pad to take Nakasawa down with a Tornado DDT ! One........... Two............ Nakasawa kicked out, but stayed rooted to the mat, and Elemental II headed up top.......INFERNO SPLASH !!! Elemental II lands it perfectly....... One...... Two......... Thr !!! No ....two and about eight tenths, Elemental II was literally inches away from causing one of the biggest World Title upsets in history. He can't believe his luck, and his unsure of what he has to do, to put Nakasawa away. He finally decides to head up top once more, but his indecision cost's him, as this time Nakasawa gets back to his feet, and the World Champion cuts of Elemental II with a fore-arm smash, after climbing up to the second rope. Elemental II then tries to take Nakasawa down with another Tornado DDT, but this time the World Champion blocks the attempt and he sends Elemental II crashing back into the ring with a NAKASAWA NECKBREAKER off the top turnbuckle !! One..... Two....... Three !!! Hiroaki Nakasawa manages to retain the World Title. An absolutely incredible match, no one gave Elemental II a chance going into this match, but by the end he had the entire crowd believing that he could pull off what would have probably been considered one of , if not the biggest upset in a BHOTWG World Title match. In the end Nakasawa managed to absorb everything Elemental II could throw at him, and showed his World Champion credentials by sucking it up and pulling out the victory from the jaws of defeat.

It was a borderline decision whether or not to keep him, but for his current spot on the card, he was asking for a little too much money. The door has not been completely left closed on him for him to come back, but the Bulls were headed in a downward spiral anyway and it is though that both Sanda and Hamacho could do with a fresh direction. With Sanda now gone from the promotion, this leaves Hamacho open to a repackage, though at the Age of 40, and with very little in the way of credentials as a singles peformer it seems increasingly unlikely that Hamacho would be in line for a sudden mega-push as a singles competitor.

Of course it was more expected out of Miyazaki, who has a stronger image as a singles competitor, but that still doesn't take away from the fact that this was a crisply wrestled technical contest with another zip in it to keep the crowd invested from the opening bell. Both Gilmore and Miyazaki looked to nail on their respective favoured submissions the Stone Hold and the Ankle-Lock after gaining the advantage but both were able to escape out of the holds, and in the end it came down to Gilmore driving Miyazaki into the mat with the Anger Management, in what Mitsuhide Muro on the commentary team said was 'Out of nowhere' after what looked to be a fairly inocuous irish whip exchangement [B][COLOR=red]Result: Tom Gilmore defeated Shingen Miyazaki in 9:27 by pinfall.[/COLOR][/B] [B][COLOR=red]Rating: A[/COLOR][/B] [CENTER]_____________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [CENTER][B]Match #2: Narihira Arita vs Toshiharu Hyobanshi[/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_NarihiraArita.jpg[/IMG] [B]vs[/B] [IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_HyobanshiPINK-1.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] No suprise's who won here, as Hyobanshi won with ease by putting the 19 Year Old young lion away with the devastating Nova Bomb Redux (Burning Hammer).

Though the chaos is organised enough, that the wrestlers in question still look like they know what they are doing. 'HorrIno' started out the hotter, dominating the first 4 minutes but they made the mistake of letting their emotions get to them as the P.I.N.K pair lured them to the outside, by going for a Powder. A double team backbody drop on Horri into the ringsteps, proved to be the turning point and Koshiro Ino, who is clearly not at a 100 % was left isolated in the ring. Ino plucked up enough inner strength to survive a spinebuster from his former Tag partner Toshusai and almost got the hot tag into Horri. But Horri was knocked off the apron with a stiff fore-arm shot from Hyobanshi. Ino tried to take Hyobanshi by surprise with the Kobra's Bite, when P.I.N.K's newest recruit got himself officialy tagged into the match, but the former GCG champion was able to avoid contact, and when Ino came back off the ropes he got turned inside out with a Running Clothesline, he calls the 'PINK Message', which turned out to be enough to see the P.I.N.K pair to victory.

As you can probably guess by the angle it's not been picked up this time round. He was becoming damaged goods, with this chronic neck injury, and obviously also working for PGHW doesn't really help. The 'angle' puts Ino out of action, but leaves the door open for a possible 'heroic' return, if and/or when he comes back to BHOTWG. [/FONT] [FONT=Courier New]Of course this means that HorrIno never will get that Tag Title match with Size of the Fight, but with Ino's injury, it probably wouldn't have been up to the recent standards that have been set with SOTF's recent defences against the likes of The Rebellion, SUKI & Masuno and most recently DANGER AHEAD.[/FONT] [CENTER]_____________________________________________________________[/CENTER] [I]Just before he heads out to take part in the Scramble Tag Match, Junior Champion Sensational Dragon (who is wearing his 'Elemental' version of the mask) is seen talking to Silver Dragon Feet leader Hooded Kudo.

Bodies were flying everywhere and the near-falls came thick and fast. At times the action was so hectic that the crowd didn't no where to look, but the they were REALLY into the match from start to finish and it was clear that most of them were getting behind Team Elemental, with a smaller section cheering on the 'underdog' team of The Awesome Kiyaru and Golden Scorpion. The finishing stretch, started with The Awesome Kiyaru taking everyone out with a springboard shooting star press to the outside. He then rolled Marihito Masuko back into the ring, before heading up top to attempt to finish things off with the Magic Cloud. Masuko however rolled out of the way at the last split second and took advantage by driving Kiyaru into the mat with the Masuko Cradle Shock, only for Elemental Americana to dive in and make the save. The Elemental III in waiting took down Masuko with a rolling cutter and headed up top himself, he was able to land the Inferno Splash on Masuko, but his pin attempt was broken up at the last split second by Sensational Dragon, who nailed Americana with an Enziguri before going for the Dragon Slice, but Americana managed to put the brakes on mid move before flipping over the Junior Champion, then as Dragon came back down Elemental Americana stopped Dragon in his tracks with a spinning heel kick to the mid-section, then double under hooking the arms to deliver the Elemental Driver. Elemental II then entered, the ring before launching himself back to the outside with a handspring plancha. The Junior legends willingness to put his body on the line, ensured that Elemental Americana was able to make the cover uninterrupted leading a significant victory for the Elemental pair and one that certainly sent a message to the current Junior Champion who had just been pinned by his bitter rival.

Nakasawa looked a little weary from his (some would say) suprisingly difficult World Title defence against Elemental II was not at the races from the start and Umaga took advantage by jumping right on the World Champion. A Running Lariat into the corner followed by an overhead Belly to Belly Suplex brought a close two count for the big Samoan, who then started to show a suprisingly patient side by working over Nakasawa's back, before going to lock in the Samoan Crab. But Nakasawa dug down deep, found his way to the ropes and then turned it up a few gears. Umaga had no answer for the World Champion, once Nakasawa was in the mood. A combination flurry of fore-arm smashes, followed by the Hammerlock Divorce Court, then the STF-Crossface submission sequence that Nakasawa occasionally brings out as a finisher, was enough to put Umaga away and ensure that the upset wasn't going to happen.

I'm not motivated by a loyalty to Hooded Kudo, but am simply motivated by a desire to show that I AM the better man between us.[/I] [I]People foolishly forget that it was I who held the Burning Junior Championship, before we both decided to team up and form, what was the BEST Tag Team in the history of wrestling and those were great times, we were dominant but the past year people seemed to be perceiving me as the weak link, and you know what that did get to me.[/I] [I]I wasn't jealous of your success Shimedzu, I was just fed up with how I was being perceived. Perception is a vital thing in this sport and everyones perception will change when I finally do the thing I should have done last week, and end this issue between us'[/I] [B]Rating: C+[/B] [I]We then get a repeat of the video package that played at the start of the show, to further ramp up the anticipation for the deciding match between former World Champion Tag Partners turned rivals Miyamae and Shimedzu.[/I] [B]Rating: B-[/B] [CENTER][B]Match #8: Deciding Match in Best of 5 Series for [/B] [B]Contendership to the Burning World Championship: [/B] [B]Miyamae vs Shimedzu[/B][/CENTER] [CENTER][IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_Miyamae.jpg[/IMG] [B]vs[/B] [IMG]http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q236/Tigerkinney/th_KenShimedzu.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] They circle each other at the start, then both go for kicks......they clash shins then back off. They circle around a bit more, then both go for chops but once again are able to block one another's attempts. Another stand off, and they go in again....this time both connect with strikes and now the fight really is on. The former tag partners go at each other, connecting with stiff strike after stiff strike but neither man backs down. Shimedzu manages to take down Miyamae with a double leg take-down and tries to reign down a flurry of fists, but Miyamae blocks the attempt, before monkey-flipping Shimedzu to the outside. Shimedzu however pulls Miyamae out of the ring, and the brawling continues on the outside. Shimedzu then picks up a chair and plants it into the gut of Miyamae who then double's over, before Shimedzu delivers a shot to the back , before discarding the chair. Referee Omura Umeki is prepared to be lenient, because he knows the emotions are running high in this match and that BHOTWG officials want a decisive winner. Shimedzu then goes to whip Miyamae into the guard-rails, but Miyamae manages to block the attempt, before sending Shimedzu crashing onto the floor with an Exploder Suplex. Both of them are barely moving as Miyamae also took a heavy bump. Miyamae eventually gets up and breaks the count by rolling into the ring. He assesses the situation and Shimedzu is still down, so he rolls back in again and waits for Umeki to count Shimedzu out. Shimedzu gets up at five and Miyamae charges at Shimedzu, but the 2007 Super 10 Cup Winner, manages to stop Miyamae in his tracks with a shoulder block to the mid-section before flipping over the ropes and taking Miyamae by suprise with a sunset flip. One....... Two........ Miyamae works his way out of the pin attempt, before delivering a basement drop kick to the the face of Shimedzu. Miyamae then decides to go high risk by heading up top, he goes for a Diving Headbutt but Shimedzu manages to move out of the way, and as Miyamae staggers back up to his feet Shimedzu drives his former tag partner into the canvas with an STO. Shimedzu then decided to head up top himself, and he set up for a Moonsault, but Miyamae was back to his feet. Shimedzu however was a step ahead, flipping himself over the on-comign Miyamae before nailing Miyamae with an Enziguri. He then flipped over a dazed Miyamae into a Tilt-A Whirl Backbreaker, before flipping Miyamae over the other into a Gutbuster, then finishing off the flurry of offence with a Dragon Suplex. Shimedzu then applied a bridging pin. One........... Two........... Miyamae kicked out, but Shimedzu could sense victory. He set up for the Skull-Drop but Miyamae had the move well scouted, dropping to a knee, then as Shimedzu tried to lift him back up, the Silver Dragon Feet member fired in a suspiciously low blow, that had the former Dragon-Feeter doubling over. Miyamae then took advantage by lifting Shimedzu up and delivering of all things Shimedzu's own finisher the SKULL DROP !! One........ Two......... Thr......... Shimedzu kicked out. Miyamae couldn't believe it, but he still felt in control, whipping a dazed Shimedzu into the corner. He then mouthed to the crowd 'that he was about to send a message' before going for the face-wash. He connected twice, but on the final rush, Shimedzu managed to roll out of the way, before taking Miyamae off his feet with a Leg-Whip. Miyamae then staggered back up to his feet but a suddenly fired up Shimedzu kept Miyamae down with a rapid succession of kicks, he calls the Rebel Streak. Miyamae was left dazed from the barrage and Shimedzu took advantage by putting Miyamae in the Tree of Woe. Shimedzu then went for his trademark hesitation drop kick, but Miyamae knew the move was coming and he pulled himself up onto the top turnbuckle. Shimedzu then ended up crotching himself on the second rope and Miyamae took advantage by delivering a vicious looking double stomp. Shimedzu then tried to get back up to his feet, but Miyamae delivered a vicious kick to the head....... One......... Two........ Thr......... Shimedzu managed to survive again, this time reaching out a leg, barely inches underneath the ropes, but enough to keep him alive in the match and the series. Miyamae could sense victory but he was looking frustrated, he then lifted a weary Shimedzu up , and looked to finish off with the Miyamae Spoiler, but Shimedzu managed to fight his way out with elbows. Miyamae then tried to re-apply the Spoiler, but all of a sudden Shimedzu reversed the move and delivered a MIYAMAE SPOILER of his own, giving Miyamae a taste of his own medicine from earlier in the match by attempting to dish out the ultimate insult by winning with their opponents own finisher...... One.......... Two.......... Thr.......... Like Shimedzu had done earlier, Miyamae managed to kick out of his own finisher. Shimedzu then lifted Miyamae back up to a vertical base and tried to finish things off with the Skull-Drop but Miymae fought out of it with elbow shots ot the mid-section, before getting another wind and laying into Shimedzu with a flurry of strikes. Suddenly Miyamae was feeling the momentum shift back his way, and he whipped Shimedzu into the ropes, before nailing his former Tag Partner with a Standing Drop Kick. But somehow Shimedzu managed to keep a vertical base, and used the momentum of the ropes to spring back with a flying roundhouse kick but Miyamae managed to avoid contract, and planted Shimedzu across his knee with a Uranage Backbreaker, before taking Shimedzu over with a Wheelbarrow Suplex........ Miyamae decided against making the cover and instead tried again for the Miyamae Spoiler, but all off a sudden something distracted him, as he saw the entire P.I.N.K stable standing in the entrance way, that momentary distraction proved enough for Shimedzu to grab the tights and roll Miyamae up....then as Miyamae tried to counter into a roll up of his own Shimedzu applied Miyamae's own Submission the SNAKE POISON (a version of the Anaconda Vice) Miyamae tried to struggle free , but Shimedzu had it locked on right in the middle of the ring.....and Miyamae was starting to fade. Omura Umeki started to be concerned that Miyamae may not have been able to carry on much longer, and took a look. Umeki raises Miyamaes arm................... No response............... He raises the arm again.................... Still no reponse............. Umeki takes a final look, Miyamae needs to show he has signs of life left in him.............. Umeki calls for the bell, Miyamae has passed out !!! A fantastic final bout to what was an thrilling series of match between the former partners of one of the mos storied Tag Teams in the history of Burning Hammer. But Miyamae would have felt he had the match won, had it not been for the momentary distraction of P.I.N.K, Shimedzu took advantage of the lapse, then added insult to injury by forcing Miyamae to pass out to his own submission. It was probably pride of not wanting to give up to his own move, that Miyame chose to pass out, rather than tap out, but that wont matter in the record books as it is Shimedzu who will go on to face Hiroaki Nakasawa at Quest of Heart for the prestigious Burning World Championship.

Masuko says 'Join Us' but Shimedzu simply responds with a 'Maybe' before walking straight past Masuko and heading back up the entrance ramp. The rest of P.I.N.K block his path, but Masuko then orders the rest of the P.I.N.K troops to let Shimedzu through.

Koshiro Ino has been taken out by P.I.N.K, who show that anyone is a target not just Silver Dragon Feet. Sensational Dragon is showing his displeasure at the rest of Silver Dragon Feet's actions from Monday's show, when they save his rival Elemental Americana from a beatdown. Finally Shimedzu won the 5 match series against Miyamae, but did he get an assist from P.I.N.K ? and is he about to join Masuko's Kabuki face painted crew ? ______________________________________________________________ [B]T.V News:[/B] Ironclad drew a 17.23 rating on TV5Monde (-0.02) Disappointing as it is to see the rating go slightly down again, I'm not too bothered by it, because the show took place in Kanto, which always draws the biggest live crowds.

Scorpion's reputation is pretty unknown over in the U.S and the West Coast isn't one of Mikey's stomping grounds either. That being said they put on a solid little match, despite the lack of crowd heat. Mikey's 'Hell Monkey Lite' stiff kicking style had Scorpion on the back-foot, but once the more established BHOTWG roster member took control with a Sunset Flip Power-Bomb, after Mikey made a poor error of Judgement by going up top. The result was never in doubt and a couple of minutes later Scorpion finished Mikey off with the Scorpion Stinger.

[B]Greg:[/B] We certainly can't emulate our father the legendary Sam Keith, if we don't start picking up wins and that starts tonight, when me and my brother Matt get our first wins under our belts against the duo who beat us last week [B]Matt:[/B] Pacific Express you better be ready, because this week we plan on making our father, the legendary Sam Keith proud. Ever since we grew up watching our father, then entered the ring ourselves friends and family around us , have told everyone those are 'Sam's Boys' they're gonna go on and be Champion's just like that father [B]Greg:[/B] [B][I][COLOR=navy]'Sam's Boys'[/COLOR][/I][/B] I like the sound of that, we should call ourselves that in tribute to our father.

Eventually he did manage to get Miyazaki into the hold, but the Pacific Express man was too near the ropes, managing to save himself from tapping or passing out. Matt Keith once again got frustrated, that he was unable to put Miyazaki away. Keith's suddent indecision then allowed Miyazaki to pop up and nail him with a spin-kick. Miyazaki then lifted a dazed Matt Keith onto his shoulders, and Keith soon found himself have knee popped into his face, after receiving the Good Night (Fire-man's carry drop into a Knee Strike).

The finish saw Kenko Takemitsu attempt to put Greg Keith away with the Canada 2 Japan but Greg was able to fight his way out with elbows, then after a standing switch he dumped Takemitsu with a Bridging Leg Hook Belly to Back Suplex, Keith then applied the Proton Lock and this time he had it locked on right in the middle of the ring and this time Takemitsu had no choice but to tap out.

SUKI is still a little bit unknown, for the crowd to take a full dislike to his arrogant ways and his met with indifference, rather than contempt. This was a solid back and forth contest, with the veteran Flash actually out-wrestling the c0cky youngster for a good portion of the match. SUKI was visibly frustrated by this and went away from his usual ground-based game plan on several occasions, making several mistakes, at one point it looked like Flash would win the match, when he nailed SUKI with a super-kick, after SUKI came off he top rope, but SUKI was able to reach the ropes on the occasion. Ironically though it was a mistake from Flash that would prove decisive, a simple whip across the ring, allowed SUKI to spring back off the ropes, then take Flash down with a Tilt-A-Whirl Head-Scissors, before locking on the SUKI Special (a sequence SUKI calls SUKI Special II). Once SUKI gets his devastating version of a Cross-Arm Breaker locked on to an opponent, it usually means one thing and once thing only.

As was said at the start this was formula stuff....Size of the Fight start out hot, P.I.N.K 'cheat', Kokan plays face in peril, survives whatever P.I.N.K throws at him and gets the hot-tag into Konda. Thing is as predictable as that all is, the crowd love the formula, because Size of the Fight are so good at it. The finishing sequence began with Size of the Fight take P.I.N.K down with stereo suicide dives, after the P.I.N.K pair tried to high-tail it back up the ramp, after suddenly realising this wasn't going to be their night. Toshusai actually caught Kokan, but was driven into the ring-apron with a Tornado DDT !. Maita then found himself rolled into the ring by Kansuke Konda, who then whipped across the ring and rocked him with a roaring elbow. Kokan then joined Konda in the ring , to put Maita away with the Final Impact, as Toshusai struggled to get back to his feet on the floor.

Shimedzu in P.I.N.K would be awesome and then P.I.N.K could finally become the biggest and best stable in all of BHOTWG.

Mtm2k6 · March 29, 2008

Shimedzu will not go to P.I.N.K. Why go there when he's barely got out of Silver Dragon Feet? Great couple of shows btw. I've went back and read much of the diary (no easy feat - but the diary's awesome so it's been enjoyable :)) and it's great to see all the wrestlers improve and evolve characteristically so much!
