Pre-Show

Ring Demons def. Naga-Mori – D+
The Incredible KOYAMA def. Nathanial Ca$ino – C
The Tic def. Antonio Maxi Marquez – B-

As the fans begin to get settled in their seats, Koji Kojima’s entrance hits, and he makes his way down to the ring with a microphone in hand.

“Let me just welcome all of you with a happy new year, and I am glad to see so many people out here to celebrate the greatness that is World Level Wrestling. You know tonights card, with the first Universal tournament match taking place as the young Eagle Kawasawa takes on the veteran Haru Kurofuji. Both men are former Universal champions, so that is definitely going to be a great match.”

Kojima continued to hype all of the first round matches in order, and each match got a loud pop due to the popularity of all the performers.

Match 1: Nariaki Hitomi w/Mr. Miwa vs. Bussho Makiguchi.

This match looked to be an easy one for Hitomi, who had both the size and power advantage, but the young Bussho managed to surprise the big man by darting around him with amazing agility, sending him down with some stiff kicks at the start. Hitomi managed to steal back control with a running forearm smash right to the jaw, and then proceeded to connect with various suplexes, using his power, but Bussho was able to counter one attempt with a few stiff elbow shots, and then connected with a beautiful springboard moonsault, taking Hitomi right to the mat and giving Bussho back the control. Bussho then weakened up the bigger man with a series of devastating forearm shots right to the temple of Hitomi, before running to the ropes and connecting with the Blazing Elbow, a running discus elbow, connecting with Hitomi’s temple again. Miwa was livid at ringside, hopping up and down telling Hitomi to get up while Bussho covered him, getting the three count and the victory.

Winner: Bussho Makiguchi by pinfall in 8:24 – C

As soon as the match is over Bussho grabs a microphone at ringside and asks the audience to be quiet:

“I have been with this promotion since my debut, and I consider it sickening that I have only held one damn title since then, and that was almost two years ago! So, I am going to remedy that right now. Cyber Fighter 3000, our very own crazy robot, I challenge you to a title match at Do The Dance of Shame. And once you accept, I will prove to everybody that I deserve to be the face of this promotion, by taking your title and everybody elses before the year is through.”

C

After a quick intermission, where everybody goes backstage to buy Silver Shark merchandise obviously, we see Haru Kurofuji up on the big screen, sitting in his locker room with a microphone.

“I’m going to make this nice and easy. Tonight, I am facing Eagle Kawasawa, a youngster who thinks he has what it takes to win this tournament. In my opinion, the only wrestler who should win this tournament is me, I’m one of the most accomplished superstars this promotion has ever had, and without me, this company wouldn’t even be here. So Eagle, watch out, because tonight you are going to learn that fact the hard way.”

B-

We then see a quick hype video of Marat Khoklov, highlighting the destruction he has wreaked since entering the promotion half a year ago, including the epic title match of Giant vs. Giant as he took on Bruce The Giant.

Match 2: Masked Cougar vs. Marat Khoklov.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MaskedCougar.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MaratKhoklov.jpg

This was never really a match, because as soon as the bell rang, Marat tossed the poor little Cougar around the ring like he was a piece of grass. Cougar tried once or twice to counter moves, such as turning a spinebuster into a DDT, but Marat always just stopped him mid-move and then destroyed him with an even more deadly move. The end came when he whipped a beaten Cougar into the ropes with amazing force, and then almost decapitating him with the Moscow Lariat, which drew cheers from the crowd due to it’s legendary status. Marat looked down at Cougar, shook his head and then simply placed his foot on the fallen body of his opponent, getting the very easy victory.

Winners: Marat Khoklov by pinfall in 2:42 - B

After the referee has finished scraping Cougar off of the mat we see a hype video of the team of Dragon & Furusawa, showing some highlights of their previous tag title reigns, including the creation of their finisher, a wheelbarrow facebuster/cutter combination called the Fire Driver, and how it lead to many victories.

B-

Match 3: Dragon & Furusawa vs. Takeshi Umehara & Tasuku Shinozuka.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TakesiUmehara.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TasukuShinozuka.jpg

A very solid tag team match from these four men, with the established team of Dragon & Furusawa showing some slick teamwork, constantly tagging in and out and isolating their opponents. The first legal men were Dragon and Umehara, and the two began with a stiff brawl, exchanging forearms and punches until Dragon was able to force Umehara to the ropes and whip him across the ring, connecting with a tilt-a-whirl head scissors when he came back, sending Umehara tumbling back to his corner. Dragon continued to dominate the veteran Umehara, tagging in and out with his partner while doing so, grounding him with several holds, concentrating on his knee’s, but Umehara was eventually able to get to his corner and tag in Shinozuka. However, Dragon still managed to dominate Tasuku, even though the ‘Thunder Lizard’ caught him off guard with a few quick elbows and a belly to belly suplex, before tagging in Mabuchi, who concentrated on the veteran’s arms, locking in a series of tight wrist locks and a crucifix armbar.

Shinozuka was practically at his mercy until Umehara made the save, connecting with an enziguri. Dragon took exception to this, and floored the flamboyant veteran with a slingshot cross body, sending Umehara rolling out of the ring. Mabuchi then called over to Dragon, then booted Shinozuka in the gut and lifted him into the air for a wheelbarrow facebuster. Dragon rushed over and leapt into the air after clasping Tasuku’s head, and connected with the Fire Driver. Tasuku’s head bounced off the mat as Mabuchi rolled him over for the cover, getting the convincing victory.

Winner: Dragon & Furusawa by pinfall in 12:24 – B

After a quick break we return to see Magnum KOBE at the snack table, looking over the various cakes and pies displayed. He sticks his finger in the middle of one of the cream pies and tastes it, before coughing and showing a look of disgust. He promptly grabbed the pie and lobbed it over his shoulder, accidentally hitting the strolling Marat Khoklov right square in the face.

The Russian then tapped KOBE on the shoulder, and when he turned around, booted him in the gut before drilling him through the table with a release powerbomb. Marat then licks off a bit of the pie, smiling as he appears to like it, and walks off.

B+

We then see a quick hype video of the main event, detailing the stakes that are present and the history of both men.

Match 4: Eagle Kawasawa vs. Haru Kurofuji.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EagleKawasawa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HaruKurofuji.jpg

This was almost definitely going to be a great match, as both men are incredibly talented, and luckily it performed as expected, with both men seeming to click in the ring. Haru also showed that despite him being well past his prime, he can still fly with the best of them, as the match went back and forth up until the final few minutes. When the match started, Kawasawa managed to wrestle control away from the veteran, tripping him up and locking him in a grounded front facelock. Haru seemed in trouble to start with, but he soon turned it around into a hammerlock. The two men continued to trade holds like this for quite a while, resulting in a standoff that drew some applause from the crowd. Eagle smiled and rushed towards Haru, only to fall victim to a jumping kick right to the forehead, flipping him over. Haru then began to pick apart Eagle, teasing going for a Sharpshooter, but instead pushing Eagle’s legs down onto his knee and then driving that knee into the mat, causing Eagle to scream in pain.

Haru continued to focus on the legs, as he then applied a single leg Boston Crab on the weaker of Eagle’s legs, which Eagle was only able to break by desperately clawing his way over to the ropes. The youngster then used the ropes to pull himself up, and when Haru ran towards him he threw the veteran over his shoulder. Haru managed to land on the apron however, and connected with an enzu kick which sent Eagle stumbling forwards. As Eagle stood up, Haru launched himself over the ropes and connected with a diving cross body block, but Eagle rolled through and then brought Haru down across his knee. The veteran clutched his back, but got up fairly soon after, albeit slowly due to the pain. This unfortunately left him open to attacks by Eagle, who began to kick him in the head and back before finishing off with a stiff kick right to the back of the head which sent the veteran back down again. Eagle then ran to the ropes and connected with an Arabian Press before going for the first cover of the match, only getting a two count.

Eagle tried to pull Haru up to his feet, but the veteran punched him several times in the gut and then wrenched his arm out. He continued to apply pressure until Eagle was forced down to the mat, at which point he promptly switched to a knee lock, occasionally standing up to drive his own knee into back of Eagle’s. Eagle began to claw his way over to the ropes once again, but Haru simply yanked him back into the middle and then locked him in a Bow and Arrow Lock, almost causing Eagle to tap out. Eagle held on though, eager to get the win, causing Haru to release the hold and throw him to the mat in frustration. As he thought over what he was going to do next, Eagle recovered his breath and caught the veteran off guard with a clothesline, followed by an elbow drop right to the sternum. He then waited for Haru to get up, and when the veteran was on one knee, ran to the ropes, aiming to nail the Vision Quest, but when he returned Haru leapt into the air and connected with a hurracanrana for a very close fall, as Eagle only just kicked out in time.

Haru drove his knee into face of Eagle, stunning him, before heading up to the top rope, aiming for the Suicide Headbutt, but Eagle rushed him, crotching him on the top. Eagle then showed amazing agility by leaping high enough to nail a super rana without needing to climb up, sending the veteran Haru flying to the other side of the ring. Eagle rushed to make the cover, but the veteran swept his legs out from under him, catching Eagle by surprise, and then tried to lock him in the Kurofuji Crab. Eagle resisted, but the veteran was able to lock the hold in after kicking Eagle a few times in the back and head. Haru really locked it in tight, and Eagle screamed out in pain, desperately trying to reach the ropes, but every time he came close to touching them, Haru dragged him back into the middle of the ring. Eagle seemed about ready to give up, but the crowd began to chant his name, and this soon filled him with more energy. He pushed himself up, catching Haru off guard, and scrambled over to the ropes, forcing Haru to release the hold. Haru waited for Eagle to get up to his feet before charging towards him, but this provided Eagle with some much needed recovery time, and he managed to counter whatever Haru was planning by booting him in the gut, sending him down to one knee. Eagle then ran to the ropes and nailed the Vision Quest, a Glittering Magician with an enziguri as opposed to a knee, with the connection resounding throughout the arena before making the cover.

One…
Two…
Three!

The crowd then loudly cheered Eagle as his hand was raised, while Haru smacked the mat when he came to and realised what happened.

Winner: Eagle Kawasawa by pinfall in 18:39 – B+

Pre-Show

Nariaki Hitomi def. Masked Cougar - D
Americana def. Kid Toma – C

To kick off the show we have a video showcasing highlights of the last show’s main event. It then shifted to the tournament brackets to show Eagle moving forward to face the winner of tonight’s Umaga vs. Monkey match.

B

Match 1: Silver Shark vs. White Samurai.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg

A great match to kick off the show, as these two really went back and forth, showcasing their various skills throughout. Shark initially had the advantage, using surprising Samurai with a drop toehold and then weakening up his head with a series of chin locks and kicks, but Samurai was able to grab his leg before he connected with another kick and whipped him down to the mat with a dragon screw leg whip. Shark clutched his knee as Samurai took control of the match, flying around the ring to keep Shark down on the mat. Shark seemed ready to mount a comeback at around the ten minute mark after whipping Samurai into the ropes, but the youngster rebounded with a handspring kick that floored the veteran. Samurai stayed in control for the final few minutes, until Shark was able to turn it around with an enziguri turned into a hurracanrana and then cinching in the Jaws of Life, a camel clutch where he really wrenches the head back, and Samurai was soon tapping out.

Winner: Silver Shark by submission in 12:08 – B

Following a quick break we see Angry Gilmore in the ring, holding a microphone:

“Finally, I have a chance to prove myself once again to the people of Japan. Sure I had success in the USA, but I was never able to show my true potential. However, I feel upset that the only place that would take me was this stupid company, which built itself on stupid comedy and stupid gimmicks…”

Before he can finish his sentence, familiar music booms across the speakers and The Great Hisato then runs out from the back, drawing a huge amount of cheers from the resident crowd. He is also holding a microphone, and after pausing to look across the crowd, he looks down at the ring shaking his head.

“You know, it’s funny. Your name is ANGRY Gilmore, but I think it should be more MOODY Gilmore, because all I am hearing right now is ‘whine whine whine, I don’t get what I want waaa waa waa.’ You want to prove yourself kid? Well tonight you are getting your chance, as you face one of the premier talents this country has to offer in myself, so don’t mess up by throwing another temper tantrum, or else I may just have to punt you into the crowd like the baby you are, because I can’t stand grown men acting like children.”

The crowd joins in as Hisato laughs while Angry seethes in the ring.

B for both hypes

Match 2: Tasuku Shinozuka vs. Dean Daniels.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TasukuShinozuka.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DeanDaniels.jpg

Another good match which featured two veterans going all out, keeping the match on the mat. Luckily the match wasn’t that long, so it didn’t drag, but it was also surprisingly even. Daniels was in control at the start, taking Tasuku over with a double underhook suplex and then focusing on his head, locking him in a variety of head locks, obviously weakening him for the Cradle Piledriver. Tasuku showed his skill however when he escaped a head lock and stiffly kicked Daniels in the back before locking him in a tight armbar. Tasuku switched between holds in order to prevent Daniels from escaping, but it was to no avail, as the veteran gaijin was able to break out of the armbar by rolling to the ropes. It was pretty much downhill from there, as Daniels dominated Tasuku before pulling him up to his feet and then drilling him with the Cradle Piledriver, with such an impact Tasuku bounced off of the canvas, and then made the cover, getting the victory.

Winners: Dean Daniels by pinfall in 8:26 - B

After the match, we are taken backstage where Seiho Kuroda is interviewing UK Dragon about his match:

“UK Dragon, tonight you are going up against one half of the tag champions, KOKI Ishibashi. How does it feel to be facing a veteran wrestler such as him?”

“Hahahah, that’s funny. He’s about as veteran as I am Latvian, which is about an eighth, but were not talking about me here.”

“Well…we kinda are..”

“Shut up! Basically, KOKI doesn’t stand a chance against me here tonight, he’s the wrong side of 40 and is getting very slow out there, so it is a total no contest. He will feel the wrath of the Dragon and I will emerge the victor.”

“You seem very conf..”

“I am!”

Dragon then walks off, joining his partner Mabuchi further down the hall, as he will be at ringside, while Seiho looks fairly stunned.

C+

Match 3: UK Dragon w/Mabuchi Furusawa vs. KOKI Ishibashi w/Incredible KOYAMA.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg

Dragon came out to the ring looking very confident with himself, and as expected, that worked to the advantage of fellow veteran KOKI Ishibashi, who threw him across the ring with a belly to belly suplex and then went to work on Dragon’s back, slowly picking him apart in order to slow him down, but Dragon was soon able to turn the tables and took control from the tag champ. Dragon was able to simply out manoeuvre KOKI by flying around the ring, but when he went for a springboard back elbow, KOKI nailed him with a dropkick to the back that put the British veteran down for a while.

KOKI then kept control in his hands by locking Dragon in a crowbar, keeping his opponent down for a while before Dragon was able to muster the energy to clasp the ropes after fighting his way over. KOKI still stayed in control though, but eventually Dragon was able to go hold for hold with him and managed to catch KOKI out with a leg lariat out of nowhere, and stole back control. He kept KOKI on the mat, but when the tag champ seemed to show signs of life, Dragon dragged him up to his feet and locked him in an inverted sleeper. KOKI slowly inched his way over to the ropes, and when Dragon noticed, he planted the veteran with the Dragon Drop, a diving DDT after running across the ropes. He then hooked the leg and got the convincing victory.

Winner: UK Dragon by pinfall in 13:02 – B-

We then see a quick hype video for the Umaga vs. Monkey match, showing some highlights of their previous matches and both men’s finishers.

B

After that we return to see Mr. Miwa holding a microphone as Rhino Umaga breathes heavily behind him.

“My marvellous client here is booked to face an apparently tenacious wrestler called Hell Monkey. Now is it just me, or is a guy who wrestles in a monkey mask and includes Monkey in his name a little kooky up inside the head? My client on the other hand, is all business all the time, and he will show that tonight when he completely destroys that foolish mockery of a wrestler.”

B-

Out of nowhere, Kimuraman emerges and strikes his best superhero pose before shaking his finger at Mr. Miwa.

“Now now citizen, that is no way to talk about your fellow man. Respect what they do and what they are, no matter how ‘weird’ they may be.”

Miwa scoffs and signals to Umaga, who simply lobs the poor Kimuraman into the nearest wall.

C+

Match 4: Rhino Umaga w/Mr. Miwa vs. Hell Monkey.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/RhinoUmaga.jpg w/ http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AkahitoMiwa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HellMonkey.jpg

The fans in attendance were expecting a brutal slugfest, and they truly got what they wanted, as both men really went all out, with Monkey apparently taking exception to Miwa’s comments just before the match. This anger in fact allowed Monkey to steal control of the match at the beginning, as he connected with a beautiful looking spin kick right to the side of the head of Umaga which stunned the Samoan slightly. Just when Umaga seemed to shake it off, Monkey connected with another, and then another before finishing things off with a leaping spin kick, almost a 540 kick even, and that sent the Samoan down. Monkey then grabbed hold of the arms of Umaga and looked to lock him in a straight jacket surfboard, but the power of Umaga allowed the Samoan to resist and then toss Monkey over his head after he got back up to his feet. Umaga then quickly went over to the fallen Monkey and stomped away at his chest before driving his knee right into his throat, which drew a warning from the referee.

Umaga just grunted and pulled a slightly limp Monkey to his feet, only to get clubbed in the jaw with an elbow and then pushed away. As he tried to close the gap once again, Monkey connected with a back kick right to the gut, then nailed a hesitation kick, grabbing his foot half way through the move, right to the back of the Samoan’s head, stunning the big man. Monkey ran to the other ropes, attempting to go for a running kick to the head, but Umaga grabbed the smaller man while he was running and then slammed him down with a vicious sit-out spinebuster. Umaga went for the cover, but Monkey was able to kick out just in time, which caused Miwa to leap onto the apron and berate the referee. This distracted the official who went over to warn Miwa, allowing Umaga to kick Monkey between the legs and then whip him with great force into the turnbuckles, in fact with such force that the American flew right over the top upon impact and tumbled to the floor below.

Umaga rolled out of the ring and pulled Monkey to his feet before ramming his back into the ring apron, nearly squashing Monkey in the process. He then rolled back in, intending to get a count out victory, but the gaijin Monkey showed great resilience when he got up before the referee had even reached five and rolled back in as well. Umaga didn’t let him get time to rest though, as he stomped angrily on the head and back of the American before pulling him to his feet and whipping him across the ring. Monkey summoned a last piece of energy though by leaping onto the top rope and coming flying back with a beautiful turning kick to the head which floored the big Samoan. Monkey then nailed a standing shooting star press and went for the cover, but Umaga threw him off just after the two count. Monkey tried to keep himself in control by grabbing Umaga’s head and kicking it several times, but this just seemed to anger the Samoan who slowly got up to his feet.

Monkey then ran to the ropes to try and get momentum, but he was turned inside out with a lariat from Umaga, who then locked him in the Samoan Crab, sitting down on the back of Monkey, causing the American to scream in pain and flail desperately for the ropes, but Umaga refused to let him move. Monkey was very very close to tapping during the hold, but he was able to summon enough energy to use one of his free legs to kick the Samoan in the jaw, stunning him long enough for Monkey to escape and roll to the other side of the ring. Umaga was quick to follow up, and chased the American into the corner, but Monkey was ready for him, running up the turnbuckles and connecting with a corkscrew moonsault press that took the Samoan down. Monkey then went up top and aimed to go for the Tumbling Monkey, a sky twister press, but Mr. Miwa hopped onto the apron and yanked his legs out from underneath him, crotching him on the top. Monkey soon recovered however, and kicked Miwa square across the head, sending the manager right to the floor, seemingly unconscious.

Umaga had recovered at this point and clubbed Monkey in the back before throwing him across the ring. Umaga hurried over to him and then punched him in the head before pulling him up to his feet and booting him in the gut. Just as Umaga ran away to the ropes, seemingly going for the Rhino Charge, Monkey turned and nailed an amazing Hell Fire Kick, connecting at just the right moment with the axe kick to the back of Umaga’s head. Monkey then made the cover as the fans counted along.

One…
Two…
No!

Umaga showed his amazing strength when he kicked out at only two. Monkey was beside himself with amazement, as nobody had ever kicked out of the move ever since he arrived in WLW, but this lapse in his judgment allowed Umaga to recover and attack Monkey from behind, nailing an impressive dropkick to the back of the head. Monkey rolled around clasping his head before Umaga pulled him up and then threw him over his head with a leg trap suplex, dropping Monkey right on his head again. Monkey slowly got up to his feet, but was soon met with a boot to the gut from Umaga who then whipped him across the ring to the ropes. Monkey brought forth his last piece of energy by running up the ropes and going for another twisting kick to Umaga, but the big Samoan countered with a sick leaping Rhino Charge, catching Monkey in mid-air and almost breaking him in half. Monkey flopped to the canvas lifelessly and Umaga made the cover, getting the victory as the fans booed.

Winner: Rhino Umaga by pinfall in 16:58 – A

As the referee checks on the downed Monkey, Umaga rolls out and picks up his manager, who is still dazed, and celebrates, stomping his feet and beating himself in the head as Miwa leads him to the back, sporting a massive, albeit still dazy, grin on his face.

B+

Match 5: Angry Gilmore vs. The Great Hisato.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AngryGilmore.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheGreatHisato.jpg

Both of these men are known for their awesome high flying and technical skills, but tonight they brought something different to the plate, as these two really made the match personal after what was said earlier in the night by engaging in a massive brawl to start the match. Neither man was really able to get the advantage for a while, and the brawl even went outside, but eventually Hisato was able to snatch control after puncing Gilmore to the floor and then leaping onto the apron to connect with a head scissors. Hisato dragged his opponent back into the ring with him, and tried to go for a cover, but Gilmore kicked out fairly easily and got up to his feet just as Hisato did. Hisato kicked Gilmore in the gut though, causing him to double over, and then went for a suplex. Gilmore then reversed this however, resisting being thrown over and instead lifting Hisato and dropping him gut first across the top rope.

Angry then took the match to the mat, dragging a groggy Hisato into the center of the ring and locking him in a tight armbar, before repeatedly driving his knee into the elbow of Hisato, causing the veteran to yell in pain and try and wrench his arm away. Gilmore was not going to let that happen and instead forced Hisato over before locking him in a grounded hammerlock, again using his knee’s and driving them into the back of Hisato. After this, Gilmore pulled Hisato to his feet and booted him in the gut before whipping him across the ring. Gilmore met him half way and nailed a spinning leg lariat, turning the veteran inside out, before going for the cover. Hisato kicked out at two however, causing Gilmore to punch away at him viciously for a minute or so before dragging him back up to his feet. He then booted Hisato in the gut and slammed him into the mat with a Scoop Slam before dragging his body over to the ropes, aiming to nail him with an Arabian press. However, when Gilmore attempted the move, Hisato put his knees up, causing Gilmore to crash and burn.

Hisato then got up to his feet and floored the gaijin with a back elbow before climbing onto the top rope. As Gilmore slowly staggered to his feet, Hisato set off across the rope, showing amazing balance by walking completely evenly across to the middle, before leaping off and connecting with the Jade Warrior Plunge, a diving cross body, but Gilmore rolled through and then slammed his opponent into the mat with a powerslam. Gilmore then grabbed one of Hisato’s legs, kicked him in the knee and then wrenched it back into a single leg Boston Crab. Hisato yelled in pain and clambered over to the ropes, managing to wrap his arms around the bottom rope, forcing Gilmore to release the hold. The gaijin wasn’t done though, and after releasing the hold, kicking Hisato in the face and pulled him up to his feet before whipping him across the ring. He tried to meet him half way with a clothesline, but Hisato leapt into the air and connecting with a spinning forearm smash, leaving both men down.

It didn’t stay that way for long however, as Hisato kipped up and posed for the crowd, who cheered him on. He turned to face Gilmore, but the gaijin had recovered in the time he took posing and floored the veteran native with a right hook, and then connected with a flip leg drop right onto the throat of Hisato, causing him to gasp for air and grab his larynx. Gilmore just laughed and pulled him up to his feet before whipping him into the turnbuckles. Gilmore leapt in place before charging in and nailing a vicious kick right across the jaw that caused Hisato to flop to the mat like a sack of potatoes. Gilmore relentlessly then pulled him back up before launching him shoulder first into the ring post, causing the referee to warn him. Gilmore puts his hands up innocently before pulling Hisato backwards and throwing him overhead with a release german suplex, dropping Hisato right on his lower neck and shoulders, causing the veteran to roll around clutching them in pain.

Gilmore capitalised on this, locking the veteran in various hold that targeted these areas, including surfboard variations, but Hisato refused to tap out, and eventually managed to fight his way back up to his feet when the crowd began to cheer him on. He booted Gilmore three times in the gut to force Gilmore to release him, and then ran to the ropes. Gilmore rushed after him, but Hisato sensed this and used the ropes to backflip over the gaijin and then dropkick him over the top. Gilmore tumbled to the floor, and as soon as he got up, Hisato connected with the always amazing Green Emerald Future, hurdling the top rope in one move and connecting with a beautiful hurracanrana. This took energy out of both men however, as neither got up for a while. Hisato was the first up, and he rolled into the ring as soon as he could, followed closely by Gilmore just before the referee reached 10.

Hisato managed to keep control and whipped Gilmore across the ring before connecting with a float over DDT when he returned, spiking him right on his head. Hisato then pulled the gaijin back up to his feet for the Mystic Dragon Wave, a roll-through Tiger Suplex with a bridge, but Gilmore shook the effects of the DDT off and flipped out of the move, landing on his feet. Gilmore then ran to the ropes as Hisato got up, and then springboarded back across the ring, catching Hisato with a reverse DDT, after a backflip, in one beautiful motion. Gilmore then pulled the veteran up to his feet, booted him in the gut, and then planted him with the Anger Management, a Forward Russian Legsweep with extra velocity when Gilmore trips up his opponent as he shoves them forward. Hisato’s head bounced off of the mat as the fans booed and Gilmore made the cover.

One…
Two…
Three!

Gilmore then leapt up and celebrated while the referee checked on Hisato.

Winner: Angry Gilmore by pinfall in 17:27 – A

News

WLW has been on the beginning of a hiring spree as of late, hiring youngster Toju Munkata and KC Glenn on touring contracts. Glenn has become famed for some great work with WLW affiliate GCG, and many suspect this is merely to test Glenn in the more aerial environment before signing him to a full contract. Chomei Takizawa has also signed on full time as a road agent, joining Yodo Nakane and Gesshin Nishihara.

Card

In regards to the tournament, we saw some interesting developments as the young Eagle Kawasawa upset veteran Haru Kurofuji to be the first to reach the quarterfinals, followed by Rhino Umaga defeating Hell Monkey in an amazing back and forth contest. Angry Gilmore then defeat WLW stalwart The Great Hisato in another amazing match in order to move forward. So far, none of the WLW trueborns have been victorious, with each losing out to outsiders per se. Will this change when Awesome Thunder takes on Jungle Jack this week?

Here are the updated tournament brackets:

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Tourny%20brackets/TournamentBrackets1.jpg

This week, we finish up the first round matches was on the first show the Russian behemoth, Marat Khoklov, takes on Greg Gauge, and Awesome Thunder takes on Jungle Jack. Can Gauge do the impossible and fell the giant or will he simply become another mark on his boot? Can Jungle Jack upset Thunder and continue the gaijin invasion, or will Thunder’s experience lend the veteran the advantage?

On the second show, we have White Samurai taking Magnum KOBE and The Incredible KOYAMA taking on Emerald Angel. All four men are hinted as being the future of WLW, with Angel eager to get back into the Universal title race, having not held the belt since late 2007. Which two of these four men will get one step closer to their dream of reaching the top?

In the rest of the Wednesday card, we have Cyber Fighter 3000 taking on Panda Mask II, and Tag champions The Avalanche Effect taking on The Lone Gunmen in a non-title contest. What message will Cyber Fighter have in response to Bussho’s challenge last week? And will The Avalanche Effect get back on track after KOKI lost to UK Dragon and emerge victorious? On both teams we have contenders in the Universal tournament, KOYAMA of the Effect and KOBE of the Gunmen. Will this match serve as a possible tune-up to a quarter final match, or will it tire both men too much for them to win their matches on Sunday?

In the opening match on Saturday, we have Nariaki Hitomi taking on The Tic in what is sure to be an entertaining opener. Will Hitomi avenge his loss last week or will he fall again to the smaller Tic?

After that, we have veteran Haru Kurofuji hoping to also avenge his loss when he takes on Burning EXILE. There has been some negative attention towards EXILE as of late, as he has apparently been involved in accidents backstage, will this effect the outcome of the match?

And then, between the two tournament matches, The Great Hisato takes on fellow veteran Dean Daniels. After an impressive showing against Tasuku Shinozuka last week, can Daniels continued his run by giving Hisato another loss? Or will Hisato just be too much for him?

Awesome show, seriously. The amount of effort put into the main event in particular was tremendous. Makes me wonder when you find time to read mine! :D Anyway, on with the predictions...

WLW Rave Tour Show #3

Singles
Cyber Fighter 3000 vs. Panda Mask II
Just a guess, but Cyber has the gold, so I go with him.

Tag Team
The Avalanche Effect vs. The Lone Gunmen
One of the best teams on the roster, this one could go either way if the Lone Gunmen are looked at as contenders, but I feel that Avalanche will still get the win here.

Singles
Greg Gauge vs. Marat Khoklov
Who to pick? On the one hand, Gauge is a potential ace. On the other hand, Khoklov is a monster and uber-over thanks to his INSPIRE days. Gauge is good, but I see one of the big guns being the one, if anyone can, topple the giant Russian.

Singles
Awesome Thunder vs. Jungle Jack
The ace of WLW takes the win, although Jack is no slouch. Still, I go with Narita here.

WLW Rave Tour Show #4

Singles
Nariaki Hitomi vs. The Tic
I went with the one that I hate less, and fits into the company better.

Singles
Haru Kurofuji vs. Burning EXILE
EXILE is a great talent, but a headcase, and his freelancer status may be his undoing. I go with Kurofuji here.

Singles
White Samurai vs. Magnum KOBE
One of the three potential match of the night winners, this one I give to KOBE, simply because he's the more talented at this stage in the game.

Singles
The Great Hisato vs. Dean Daniels
Hisato takes the win, as Daniels is a reliable midcarder, but that might be all he has to offer.

Singles
The Incredible KOYAMA vs. Emerald Angel
I smell upset here, and not just because I think Angel is a jerk. Okay... maybe just because I think Angel is a jerk.

Show #3

Held at Saitama Sports Field
Wednesday, Week 2, January 2011
Attendance = 1,794
Announcers = Isei Deushi & Koyo Raikatuji

Pre-Show

Antonio Maxi Marquez def. Eguichi The Amazing – B-

At the start of the show we have a quick video hyping the fact that Cyber Fighter 3000 is going to be facing Bussho Makiguchi in a few weeks at Do The Dance of Shame!

C

Match 1: Cyber Fighter 3000 vs. Panda Mask II.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/CyberFighter3000.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/PandaMask.jpg

A fairly average opener where both men showcased the skills they had, but it just lacked that spark that previous openers have had. Cyber initially had the momentum, knocking Panda to the floor and then focusing on his knees, but he then began to randomly break into dance, allowing Panda to get up to his feet and take the champ off his feet with a jumping neckbreaker. Panda then kept the champ down with several aerial moves, knocking Cyber back to the mat whenever he tried to get to his feet. Panda then tried to go for the Pandamonium, a moonsault side slam, but Cyber blocked him and booted him in the gut before coming off the top with a Cyber Hack, a vertical suplex side slam, nearly knocking Panda out cold. Cyber then placed his foot on Panda for the cover, getting the victory.

Winner: Cyber Fighter 3000 by pinfall in 5:46 – C-

Following his victory, his entrance music blares throughout the arena and Cyber Fighter breaks into dance, entertaining the fans with a robot routine involving some breakdancing before going to the back.

C

We then see a quick video hyping up The Avalanche Effect and their various tag title reigns.

B-

Match 2: The Avalanche Effect vs. The Lone Gunmen.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DeanDaniels.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MagnumKobe.jpg

A good solid match between these two teams, which was expected considering the amount of talent that was involved. Both also showed what them great teams in the past with fluid tags and double team manoeuvres that caused several near falls. The match started with Daniels and KOYAMA as the legal men, and they promptly started trading holds until both men realised that it was going nowhere and Daniels booted KOYAMA in the gut before whipping him across the ring. Dean tried to go for a clothesline, but KOYAMA ducked underneath it and then took him to the mat with a German Suplex. KOYAM then began to focus on the legs of Daniels with various different holds, but the gaijin was able to reach the ropes and then tag in his partner. KOBE leapt onto the top rope and floored KOYAMA with a beautiful missile dropkick before then stomping at his chest and gut. Koyama struggled to get back up to his feet, taking too much time which allowed KOBE to charge in and nail a head scissors that sent Koyama tumbling out of the ring.

Koyama rolled up the ramp and got up to his feet, only to be sent right back down with an amazing diving cross body block from Kobe. With both legal men down on the outside, the referee began to count, prompting the men’s respective partners to enter and brawl each other, with Koki emerging the winner over Daniels, flooring him with a spinning chop and then locking him in a body scissors. Koyama was the first up on the outside, and entered the ring, followed soon after by Kobe, and the two instantly began a brawl as well, with Koyama getting the advantage after a stiff kick to the gut of Kobe doubled the star over, allowing Koyama to nail a running neckbreaker for a near fall. Kobe began to mount a comeback soon after that though, despite Koyama trying everything to keep the rising star down, but was nevertheless floored by an enziguri before Kobe leapt up top. He tried to nail a corkscrew moonsault, but Koyama rolled out of the way, causing him to crash and burn. Koyama promptly grabbed his leg and then locked him in the Koyama Grip, a Death Lock STF. Kobe struggled initially, trying to reach the ropes, but when Koki flew in and took Daniels off the apron, he realised he had no help and couldn’t reach the ropes, so he tapped.

Winners: The Avalanche Effect by submission in 13:18 - B

The Avalanche Effect begin to celebrate after their win, but it is disrupted when Marat Khoklov lumbers down to the ring and proceeds to decimate them. Kobe and Daniels try to stop when he comes down the ramp, but both get clotheslined and then launched further up the ramp with effortless thrown powerslams, showing Marat’s awesome strength. Koki tries to escape through the crowd, but Marat grabs hold of him and then chucks him down onto the steel steps with a vicious chokeslam, possibly breaking his back from the force.

Koyama stands still out of fear, unsure of what to do, but when he starts to punch away at the behemoth, he just gets shoved to the mat and then drilled with a Moscow Lariat when he gets up. Marat raises both arms and lets out a mighty bellow, proud of the random destruction he has wrought.

B

After the medical team rush down to check on each wrestler, we see a quick hype video for the Marat vs. Gauge match.

B+

Then following a break, we go backstage to see Greg Gauge holding a microphone:

“Tonight, I face perhaps the biggest challenge of my career, quite literally, when I take on the Russian Behemoth, Marat Khoklov. Normally, I would be scared, especially when I saw what he just did to those four people without even trying. But you see, when you are a Gauge there is no such thing as afraid, there is no turning back, especially when something as precious as the Universal title hangs in the balance.”

He runs a free hand through his hair, taking the time to think what he was going to say next, but with a very determined expression.

“It would mean everything to take that title back home again, and prove once again, that I have reached the level my father was once at. He won his first world title at the age of 27, whereas I won mine at the mere age of 21 years of age. My brother has yet to amount to anything so far, floundering in the lower card of a certain power hungry tyrant’s promotion nearby in Japan.”

Greg smiles and shakes his head laughingly.

“And that is why, tonight, I will topple the immovable object, defeat the unbeatable, by pinning the Russian Behemoth right there in that ring. Then, not only will I have done what few people can claim to have done, I will also be one step closer to achieving my dream for the second time in my young career. I will do everything I can to do it, no backing down.”

Gauge then puts down the microphone, warms up and leaves for the ring, looking incredibly ready and focused.

A

Match 3: Greg Gauge vs. Marat Khoklov.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/GregGauge.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MaratKhoklov.jpg

Gauge followed up on the promise he had just made, taking the fight right to the massive behemoth, but just like all the previous times people have tried, it was to no avail, as the Russian just shrugged off any kind of attack and destroyed the young gaijin in response, efficiently crushing any kind of momentum he had happened to build. As soon as the bell rang, Greg played ‘keep away from the evil monster’ as he kept ducking whenever Marat tried to grab him. However, this didn’t last as long as he wanted, as Marat was able to grab him around the throat when he tried to duck and then launched him across the ring with minimal effort, sending him crashing to the mat. Greg grabbed his back in pain, but he was then pulled back up to his feet quite quickly and then punched across the face, which in itself had enough impact to send him spinning to the mat. Marat tried to go for the cover then and there, but Greg was able to get his foot on the ropes just in time. Marat didn’t care though, as he just kicked Greg, sending the youngster rolling out of the ring.

Marat then took this time to plan what he was going to do next, while Greg used it to just make sure nothing was broken, and upon being certain nothing was, got his breath back and started to climb into the ring. Marat went right for him, grabbing his head, but Greg used this chance to then drop to the outside again, bringing Marat’s head down with him and dropping his throat on the ropes. Greg then rolled back into the ring and connected with a running kick to the back of Marat’s knees, bringing him down to one knee. Greg thought for a second and ran to the ropes, nailing a running dropkick when he came back, but it just bounced off of Marat, having absolutely no effect. Greg tried it again, but Marat managed to compose himself in time and stood up, simply squashing Greg by shouldering the much smaller man in the face. Greg grabbed his jaw and flopped around on the mat before Marat grabbed his head and yanked him back up to standing. Greg tried to fight back again, throwing punches and elbows at the gut of the Russian, but they also bounced off, and Marat just kicked him in the gut before throwing him over with a gutwrench suplex with such power that Greg flew across half the ring.

Greg continued to put up an incredibly resilient fight, never backing down, as per his word earlier, only going down when he just couldn’t get back up again due to being too battered. The highlight of the match for him was when he was able to duck a clothesline and then unloaded several kicks to the knees of Marat, and then sweeping them out from under him as he staggered, and it looked like Marat was going to fall backwards, but the giant was able to re-gain his balance, and then whipped Greg with as much force as possible across the ring, and when he came back, he turned the poor youngster inside out with a Moscow Lariat, drawing painful groans from the audience. Marat shook his head like when he faced Masked Cougar, and placed his foot on the chest of the fallen Gauge, getting the victory and advancing forward in the tournament. After he left, the fans gave Greg a semi-standing ovation for his attempts, which made the gaijin smile as he headed to the back.

Winner: Marat Khoklov by pinfall in 7:43 – A

After that we return to see Mr. Miwa holding a microphone yet again, except Awesome Thunder is by his side this time.

“My client here, Mr. Awesome Thunder, is fairly upset with being put in this tournament. Not only because he is being put up against dead waste foreign imports like Jungle Jack and youngster who aren’t even worth the time, like either Samurai or KOBE, but also by the fact that he hasn’t already been announced the winner of the whole thing and not just handed the belt. Because to him, me and pretty much anybody I have spoken to, he is the ace of this company, he helped found it, and is the most decorated Universal champion ever, being a seven time champion. Nobody has even gotten close to that record, and Thunder intends to break that record once again, when he wins this whole tournament and picks up HIS belt once again.”

Miwa then laughs to himself softly, with Awesome Thunder just staring angrily towards the camera.

“If I were you Jack, I would just lie down on that mat and give my obviously superior client the win that he will get anyway, as it will save you the trouble of getting hurt and wasting your time wrestling here. In fact, I will pay you double what you are getting paid to appear tonight to just walk out of that ring and go home. I’ll be expecting a decision when I see you out there.”

B

Match 4: Awesome Thunder w/Mr. Miwa vs. Jungle Jack.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AwesomeThunder.jpg w/ http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AkahitoMiwa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/JungleJack.jpg

Mr. Miwa seems to have a knack for ticking people off whenever he opens his mouth, because for the second week in a row, he has p*ssed off his clients opponent, generally not a good thing to do. This was proved true when Jungle Jack, already a wild man by nature, became even more wild as the second the bell rang he charged at the veteran Thunder and floored him with a running high knee, almost flipping him over from the rage behind the move. Thunder tried to scramble back up to his feet, but he stumbled when he got up, as the knee had seemingly knocked his balance from him for a few seconds, allowing Jack to boot him in the gut and then send him high overhead with a vertical suplex. Thunder clasped his back in pain, as Jack really threw him to the mat, but was soon getting back up to his feet, only to be floored once again when Jack charged in and nailed a running back elbow right to the jaw of the veteran. Jack then went for the first cover of the match, but Thunder was able to kick out just after the two count.

Jack pulled him back up to his feet, looking to whip him into the corner, but the veteran was able to clock the gaijin in the jaw with an uppercut, and then send him tumbling out of the ring with a head scissors. Jack hit the apron badly on the way down, and clutched his rear while grimacing. As he slowly staggered to his feet to get back in the ring, Thunder ran across the ring and leapt over the ropes to connect with a no handed senton bomb-style plancha that sent Jack flying backwards into the barricade. Thunder took his time getting to his feet, rolling back into the ring as the referee was reaching six. He stood and taunted the crowd as if he had already won, but Jack managed to sneak up behind him just as the referee was about to count him out and club the veteran in the back of the head with a forearm smash. Thunder staggered forward, but was soon sent flying backwards when Jack nailed a German Suplex. Thunder took a while getting up while Jack took his turn to play to the crowd, drawing quite a positive reaction in doing so, and when Thunder was up to his feet, he ran forward and kicked Jack in the back, stunning him, then connected with a jumping ganmengiri, knocking Jack to the mat.

Thunder dragged the dazed gaijin back into the middle of the ring and drove his knee into his back repeatedly, weakening him up for whatever main hold he was planning. But when Thunder tried to lock him in an STS, Jack was able to break Thunder’s clutch around his head and then begin to claw his way over to the ropes. Thunder responded by relentlessly pummelling the gaijin in the back of the head until he stopped trying to get to the ropes. When Jack stopped, Thunder dragged him back into the middle of the ring again and then locked him in an STF, and then rolled over so he was holding Jack in the air. This hold was called the Ace Clutch, and it had Jack screaming in pain, desperately trying to get to the ropes, but he was too far away to reach them. Eventually he began to fade, and when he stopped fighting, the referee checked on the gaijin by lifting his arm three times. The first time, it flopped back down, and it did the same the second time, but just before it was going to hit the mat the third time, it sprung full of life, as Jack began to fight the hold. He managed to roll over so he was back on the mat, albeit still in the hold, and then fought his way back to the ropes, managing to wrap his arms around it. Thunder was forced to release the hold, but the damage had been done.

Jack struggled to get up to his feet, with him favouring the leg used in the Ace Clutch, which prevented him from being as mobile as usual. Thunder used this to his advantage, taking the gaijin to the mat several times and continuing to focus on that leg. He even started to lock the Ace Clutch in again, but Jack was able to fight out of it before it was properly cinched in. Jack then got back up to his feet, and when Thunder ran towards him, he kicked the veteran in the gut and then sent him overhead with a butterfly suplex. As soon as Thunder hit the mat, Jack climbed on top and began to batter away at his face with several clubbing blows that severely dazed the veteran. After almost twenty or so punches he rolled off and stood up, pulling the still stunned veteran up with him, and then whipped him into the corner with as much force as possible. Thunder crashed into the turnbuckles, and Jack quickly followed up with a clothesline, squashing the veteran.

Jack promptly pulled him out and then nailed a second clothesline, knocking Thunder back to the mat. Jack wasn’t done however, and pulled the veteran up to his feet one more time, but got kneed several times in the gut until he was forced to release the veteran. Thunder then ran to the ropes, but Jack booted him mid route and then nailed a Jungle Jack Hammer amazingly quickly and went for the cover.

One…
Two…
Thre..No!

Thunder kicked out at just the last second, causing Jack to grab his head out of disbelief. He pulled Thunder up with him and whipped him back into the corner, but this time when he charged after his prey, Thunder ran out of the way, albeit slightly slowly as he was still dazed from the Jungle Jack Hammer, and then dropped the gaijin with a hurracanrana. Jack staggered up to his feet, but was sent right back down with a wheelbarrow facebuster. Thunder then raced up the top and nailed the Thunder Shock, a corkscrew senton bomb, and hooked the leg, getting the incredibly hard fought victory.

Both men had used up a lot of energy in this match up, and a majority of the crowd were on their feet in appreciation when Jungle Jack finally got up to his feet, while all Awesome Thunder got was a whole arena of boos.

Winner: Awesome Thunder by pinfall in 16:53 – B+

Attendance = 2,000 (Sell Out!)
Announcers = Isei Deushi & Koyo Raikatuji

Pre-Show

Yuki Horigoshi def. KC Glenn – C+
Bulldozer Brandon Smith def. Toju Munkata – D+
Eagle Kawasawa def. Takeshi Umehara – B

To kick off this show we are shown a video highlighting the Marat/Gauge match where Marat practically decimated the poor young gaijin, as well as Marat’s previous attack on the Avalanche Effect and The Lone Gunmen.

B+

Match 1: Nariaki Hitomi vs. The Tic.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NariakiHitomi_alt.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheTic.jpg

A nice quick paced opener that was greatly helped by the fact that these two had great chemistry in the ring, hiding each others weaknesses very well. The match started out with Hitomi in control, seemingly towering over the small Tic and utilising his superior power to simply throw the gaijin across the ring. But Hitomi began to get a little to ****y after hitting a powerslam, allowing the Tic to surprise the big man with a beautiful dropsault, showing Tic’s amazing vertical leap, and then kept Hitomi down with a tight arm bar. Hitomi struggled initially, but was able to overpower the smaller man and fight his way out of the hold. He then whipped Tic across the ring to the ropes, but the small man simply leapt onto the top rope and then nailed a springboard hurracanrana. Hitomi was able to kick out just in time, but Tic then leapt up to the top rope and waited for the big man to get up to his feet. When he did, Tic leapt off, pulling his legs behind him during the leap, and connected with a diving double knee press to the big man, called the Tic Leap, and then hooked the leg, getting the victory.

Winner: The Tic by pinfall in 8:51 – B

We are then catapulted backstage to see Cyber Fighter 3000 being interviewed by Seiho Kuroda.

“Cyber Fighter, in two weeks you face Bussho Makiguchi with your title on the line, how do you feel?”

“Beep”

“Uhh..”

“Bee Boo Bop Beep”

“Oh…of…course.”

“He will lose just like Panda Mask, falling victim to the Cyber Hack.”

“But surely he is more of a challenge?”

“Beep.”

“Wait…you were just…oh I give up.”

Seiho walks off the other way, throwing his arms up in the air in frustration. Cyber Fighter just begins to turn and then walks away in robotic fashion.”

C

Kimuraman is walking the opposite way, and for no apparent reason, Cyber Fighter clocks him over the head with a punch and then throws him into the wall.

C

Match 2: Haru Kurofuji vs. Burning EXILE.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HaruKurofuji.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BurningExile.jpg

A good solid match between these two talented veterans, but it was just lacking in that extra flare that would be expected between men of this stature. Maybe Exile felt angry with being booked to lose, but who knows. The match started out with an even playing field, as they engaged in a brawl with neither man gaining any sort of advantage, resulting in a stalemate. Exile lost his patience though, and charged in to floor his former friend with a clothesline, but Haru was able to leap into the air and leapfrog Exile before pulling him down to the mat with a sleeper slam style move, going for the cover only to get a two count. Exile was up quickly, and caught his fellow veteran with a dropkick before running to the ropes. Haru rolled under his feet and then nailed a head scissors that sent Exile tumbling out of the ring to the floor outside. When Exile was up, Haru bounced off the ropes before leaping out of the ring with a cannonball plancha, crashing into Exile on the way down.

Haru was the first up, having taken the least amount of damage from the blow, and rolled Exile into the ring, following shortly after. The veteran then dragged Exile into the middle of the ring and stomped away viciously at his knees before dropping his leg across the back of the knee and bending the lower leg back, causing Exile to grasp his head in pain. He tried to get to the ropes, but Haru had effectively kept him in place with the leg across the knee. This didn’t stop Exile from trying however, which caused Haru to then stand up, drag him into the dead centre again, and then kick away at the lower back of Exile and then slap him in a single leg crab. Exile again put up a fight, nearly reaching the ropes this time. Haru was beginning to get frustrated by now, and pulled Exile up to his feet, only to get a stiff elbow shot to the jaw and then floored with a jumping heel kick when he came back.

Haru tried to get up quickly, but when he sat up, Exile kicked him back down before pulling him up to his feet. He booted the veteran in the gut and then whipped him into the corner, but when he tried to follow up with an avalanche, his weak leg buckled underneath him, causing him to trip up. Haru then climbed up the turnbuckles and came crashing down with a leg drop across the back of Exile’s head, stunning his fellow veteran. Haru took advantage of this and dragged him into the middle of the ring before cinching in the Kurofuji Crab. Exile screamed and howled in pain, desperately trying to the reach the ropes, but when Haru sat down, he saw no way out this time and tapped out.

Winners: Haru Kurofuji by submission in 14:52 - B

After the match, Haru quickly grabs a microphone:

“You see, if I can pick apart somebody that easily, it proves that Eagle’s win last week was a complete fluke. Now I know I can’t reverse the decision or anything like that, but as soon as this tournament is over, I want to be the very first person to challenge for the belt. I will then easily win, take the belt home, and prove to all of you that I am still one of the top dogs in this promotion. As far as Eagle is concerned, I hope he loses his next match, because he has nowhere near what it takes to be the face of this company, unlike myself. So enjoy the rest of this pointless show you easily excited idiots, because the real action is yet to come.”

He then throws the microphone up in the air before heading to the back, a big smirk on his face.

B+

Match 3: White Samurai vs. Magnum KOBE.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MagnumKobe.jpg

This was almost undoubtedly going to be a defining moment in these two youngsters respective careers, as they would begin to prove themselves as worthy for being a potential Universal champion, as well as being one of the main focuses of the promotion for the rest of the month. This resulted in a fantastic match, with both men really going all out. The match started out with a quick lock up, with the more powerful Samurai able to force Kobe into the ropes and whip him across the ring. When Kobe came back the first time, Samurai leap frogged him, and then nailed him with a back kick when he returned. This doubled Kobe over, leaving him open to a stiff kick right to the bridge of the nose, causing Kobe to clutch at his face and stagger backwards into the ropes. Samurai tried to follow up with a clothesline, but Kobe threw him over the top, sending him crashing to the floor below. When Samurai got back up to his feet, struggling to maintain his balance, Kobe climbed onto the apron and came flying off with an absolutely beautiful Asai Moonsault, colliding with Samurai on the way down and sending them both into the barricade. Neither man got up quickly, but the first one up was Kobe at five, with Samurai stirring at that point and then rolling back into the ring at eight.

Kobe attacked him as soon as he entered the ring, stomping viciously away at his back and head, stunning the masked man, before pulling him up to his feet and driving him back to the mat with a leaping facebuster. Samurai’s face bounced off of the mat, and Kobe took advantage of his dazed state to lock him in a grounded head lock. Samurai was too close to the ropes however, as he soon placed his foot on the bottom rope. Instead of fully releasing the hold, Kobe just yanked him into the middle of the ring and cinched it back in. Samurai tried to get out of the move or reach the ropes, but Kobe just tightened the hold whenever he tried. Eventually he was able to break out of it though, punching Kobe in the back until he loosened the hold, allowing him to spin it into a grounded hammerlock, stealing the control away from the rising star. Kobe was able to reach the ropes soon after though, forcing Samurai to release the hold. The two youngsters continued to trade holds like this for quite a while, with neither retaining control enough to possibly end the match, and it eventually fell into a brawl, with each man throwing the strongest punches possible to try and knock out their opponent. But once again, neither man was able to get the advantage, causing another stalemate until Samurai backed away to recompose himself.

This proved to be just the opening Kobe needed, as he charged towards Samurai and nailed him with a running high knee, colliding with Samurai’s jaw and turning him inside out. He then tried to pull Samurai back up to his feet, but Samurai was able to stun him with an uppercut followed by an enziguri that sent Kobe to the mat. Samurai staggered around slightly, still stunned from the earlier knee, but he nonetheless ran to the corner and tried to connect with the Art of War, a corkscrew 450 splash, but Kobe rolled out of the way just in time, getting up soon after Samurai crashed and burned. Kobe then pulled Samurai up to his feet and booted him in the gut before turning him round and picking him up so he was on his shoulders facing up at the ceiling. He then spun around before flipping Samurai into a sit-out facebuster, his new finisher called the Magnum Rocket Drive. He hooks Samurai’s leg and gets the victory to advance to the tournament quarter finals.

Winner: Magnum KOBE by pinfall in 11:53 – B+

Magnum KOBE then goes into the crowd to celebrate his victory with his fans.

Match 4: The Great Hisato vs. Dean Daniels.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheGreatHisato.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DeanDaniels.jpg

For most of the night, Hisato had been boasting backstage about how this was going to be one of the easiest matches he has ever competed in, as Daniels is a never was and never will be, and so will be a complete walk over. As has been the habit with pre-match taunts, it only helped anger up the opponent, as Dean assaulted Hisato the second the bell rang, yanking his legs out from underneath him and then locking him in a variation of the ankle lock. Hisato was able to roll out of it, flinging Dean forward, but the gaijin was able to quickly lock it back in while on the mat, causing Hisato to scream in pain again and fight his way over to the ropes. He was able to reach them eventually, wrapping both arms around them to force Dean to break the hold, but the gaijin wasn’t going to let the veteran gain any breath or momentum back, as he pulled Hisato up to his feet and booted him in the gut before sending him overhead with a suplex. He kept hold of the veteran, pulling him back up and nailing another suplex, but when he went to nail a third, Hisato was able to counter mid move and turn it into a reverse DDT, planting the gaijin right on his head.

Hisato was then in control of the match for a while, not letting Dean get any chance to counter attack, constantly pummelling him over the head and chest with punches and chops respectively, before whipping him into the corner. Dean hit the turnbuckles hard, and Hisato followed up with a charging leg lariat, connecting right with the jaw of the gaijin. The momentum Hisato put into the move caused him to land on the apron outside, and when Dean staggered out of the corner, Hisato climbed the nearby turnbuckles, waiting for Dean to get to the centre of the ring. When he did, Hisato ran across the top rope and then connected with a diving cross body, the ever awesome Jade Warrior Plunge, and almost got the pin, but Dean kicked out just in time. Hisato pulled the gaijin up to his feet, trying to nail him with a running neckbreaker, but Dean nailed a running elbow smash to the face of Hisato, knocking him straight to the mat. Dean then kicked Hisato several times in the upper torso and lower neck before locking him in a high angle arm bar, causing Hisato to almost tap out at several moments due to the pain the hold inflicted. But Hisato’s veteran instincts kicked in, and he refused to tap, eventually getting back up to his feet and turning the tables with a head scissors.

Dean took a little while to get up to his feet, and soon fell prey to a running basement dropkick that flipped him onto his back from the impact. Hisato then went up top to set up for the Sapphire Crisis, a corkscrew moonsault where he turns more times than normal during the move, but he took to long getting to the top, as Dean soon followed him up. Hisato tried to shove him off, but the gaijin battled back with several stiff punches and chops. Dean seemed to gain control during this battle, as Hisato stumbled, and he then went for a super rana but Hisato filled up with energy as he stopped Dean from flipping him over, and then brought him back up to the top. Dean tried to pummel Hisato into submission again, but the veteran was able to duck a punch and then leap off of the top with a super sit-out powerbomb that left both men down. When they started to move, they engaged in a rising brawl, exchanging punches and elbow shots, with Hisato gaining control with a stiff forearm smash right to the nose, stunning Dean. Hisato used this to his advantage by spinning Dean around and then connected with the Mystic Dragon Wave, dropping the gaijin right on his head. He bridged the move to go for the cover, and got the victory in a hard fought match.

Winner: The Great Hisato by pinfall in 16:31 – B+

We then see a quick video highlighting the next week of tournament matches, in particular the Rhino Umaga vs. Eagle Kawasawa match that will be featured on Wednesdays card.

Match 5: The Incredible KOYAMA vs. Emerald Angel.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EmeraldAngel.jpg

This was destined to be an amazing match, as these two are the most talented fliers in the company today, with Angel’s skills already being semi-legendary, due to the invention of the 720 splash. Since 2007, Koyama has been building his own block of achievements, winning his twentieth title, the tag belts, despite only being 29 years old at the moment. This match would decide which was going to become the premier flier in the company, whether Angel would remain on top, or Koyama would finally start his claim to the main event and the Universal title. When the bell rang, Angel charged right in, wanting to get this over and done with, but Koyama was ready for him and stopped him in his tracks with a discus clothesline. Koyama promptly began to pick the younger man apart, mainly focusing on his legs and lower back, aiming to stop him from taking to the air, but the young man showed great resilience when he was able to go hold for hold with Koyama, eventually seizing control with a rear naked choke. Koyama refused to fade to the hold, flailing his arms towards the ropes and eventually managed to reach them, forcing Angel to release him.

Angel ran to the ropes, aiming to dropkick Koyama out of the ring to allow him time to think, but Koyama leapt up the ropes and connected with a springboard missile dropkick that turned Angel inside out. Koyama then kept him down on the mat, locking him in various holds that targeted the same area as before, eventually settling in on a crossed knee lock, constantly applying pressure as time went on. But Angel’s resilience showed through again when he was able to somehow edge towards the ropes and wrap his arms around them. Koyama made a clean break, and allowed Angel to get up to his feet before charging forward and connecting with a running dropkick. Angel flew right over the top rope and crashed to the floor below, hitting the apron on the way down. Koyama followed him out, and when Angel got up to his feet, he took the fight right to the younger man, pummelling him with various punches and elbow smashes, aiming mainly at the face. Angel was visibly effect as his defences became sloppier and sloppier until Koyama whipped him strongly into the apron, with the lower part of Angel’s back hitting the edge, causing the young man to yell in pain and grab hold of his back before falling down.

Koyama rolled back into the ring before he was counted out, but upon realising that Angel wasn’t going to make it, rolled back out to restart the count. Koyama then booted Angel in the gut, and tried to take him overhead with a suplex, but Angel reversed it mid move into a hurracanrana, spiking Koyama’s head right on the exposed flooring. Both men were down for a while, only just making it back into the ring before the referee counted them out. Angel was the first in, as Koyama was clearly on dream street after that rana, allowing Angel to kick him in the gut and then climb up top, connected with a diving leg drop bulldog right to the back of the head. Angel went for the cover, but Koyama kicked out just in time, causing Angel to unload a vicious series of punches right to the head out of anger. Angel then pulled Koyama up to his feet and whipped him across the ring, but when he ran to meet him with a clothesline Koyama countered with a spinning leg lariat that left both men down on the mat.

Koyama was the first man up on his feet, and he pulled Angel up with him before whipping him into the corner. As soon as Angel hit the turnbuckles, Koyama charged in and connected with a running big boot, smashing Angel across the jaw. The younger man slumped to the bottom turnbuckle, but Koyama wasn’t about to let up, as he began to rub his boot across the face of Angel some more before running to the opposite ropes, and when he came back he connected with another running boot to the face that almost knocked Angel out cold. Koyama tried to pull him up to standing, but Angel had gone almost completely limp, causing Koyama to quickly kick him in the gut and then send him across the ring with a fishermans suplex. Angel hit the mat hard, and Koyama raced over to try and make the pin, but Angel kicked out just after the two count, and began to show more signs of life. Koyama, though frustrated, got up to his feet and tried to drag Angel into the middle of the ring by his legs, but Angel kipped up and nailed a head scissors, sending Koyama rolling out of the ring. He was back up to his feet soon, only to be sent right back down with a beautiful corkscrew swan dive senton from Angel.

Angel surprisingly took the brunt of the damage, landing badly on his head, which, couple with his back, began to show their effect on him, as he became gradually slower as the match went on. Koyama was the first to get back in the ring because of this, though he was also badly hurt, holding his stomach. Angel made it into the ring in enough time, but was kicked in the head and promptly pulled up to his feet. Koyama kicked him in the gut and then drove him into the mat with a snap spinning neckbreaker before springboard off the ropes with a shooting star press. He went for the cover, but Angel again kicked out, much to the frustration of Koyama. This lead the bigger man to go to desperate measures, as he signalled for the Koyama Death Spike, a destroyer (flip) piledriver. However, Angel managed to reverse the move before he attempted it, taking Koyama to the mat with a dragon screw leg whip. Angel then ran up to the top rope, but due to his nagging back and neck pain, he took far too much time, allowing Koyama to run up as well. Koyama easily controlled the action, due to Angel’s injuries, but when he attempted to go for a super plex, Angel elbowed him in the gut and then tripped him up in an STO style move, sending Koyama crashing to the mat below. The young man then regained his balance on the top before leaping off with the Angel Fury, his trademark 720 splash. He connected right with Koyama’s sternum, and then hooked the leg, getting the incredibly hard fought victory in an amazing match.

Winner: Emerald Angel by pinfall in 17:29 – A

Card

Here are the updated tournament brackets:

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Tourny%20brackets/TournamentBrackets2.jpg

This week we hold the quarterfinals of the tournament, with Eagle Kawasawa taking on Rhino Umaga on our fifth show, and the highly anticipated Angry Gilmore vs. Marat Khoklov bout on the sixth show along with Emerald Angel against Koji Kojima. Who will advance forward to the semi-finals, and does Gilmore stand a chance against the Russian Behemoth?

To kick off the first show of the week, we have a non-title match between Silver Shark and Nathanial Ca$ino. Both are known for their high flying skills, and Nathanial has been looking for a chance to prove himself, and defeating the Show Stealer champion would be just the way to do it. Can he pick up the victory, or will Shark continue his recent run?

We then have a tag team match as Dragon & Furusawa take on the newly made team of Half Machine Half Amazing, featuring Yuki Horigoshi and Eguichi the Amazing. Dragon & Furusawa are the next contenders for the tag titles following Dragon’s pinfall victory over KOKI Ishibashi, can they continue to look impressive, or will the new team make their mark on the division right away?

We then have another non-title match as Cyber Fighter 3000 takes on Takeshi Umehara. Will this serve as just another tune-up for Fighter to his title match against Bussho in a couple of weeks, or can Takeshi begin his own claim for the gold?

On the second show, we have Eguichi The Amazing taking on Jungle Jack to kick off the show in what will most likely be a one-sided bout, especially if Eguichi is up to his usual antics.

We then have White Samurai taking on Panda Mask II. After being very impressive, even in losing, in his tournament match last week, will he continue that streak?

And the final match before the tournament matches is The Incredible KOYAMA facing off against UK Dragon in singles action. Will KOYAMA even out the feud, or will Dragon continue their run?

WLW Rave Tour Show #5

Singles
Non-Title
Silver Shark vs. Nathanial Ca$ino
I don't see Ca$ino as a real challenger yet, so I see Shark winning to stay strong as champion.

Tag Team
Dragon & Furusawa vs. Half Machine Half Amazing (Yuki Horigoshi & Eguichi The Amazing)
Total guess as Horigoshi's involvement is a wildcard, but I went with the more talented team overall.

Singles
Non-Title
Cyber Fighter 3000 vs. Takeshi Umehara
Beep boop bop boop beep.

Singles
Eagle Kawasawa vs. Rhino Umaga
This bracket is really more of a heavyweight bracket, and I see Umaga vs. Gilmore/Khoklov as being better than Kawasawa fighting either of them.

WLW Rave Tour Show #6

Singles
Eguichi The Amazing vs. Jungle Jack
Barring some near-psychotic push on the horizon for Eguichi, Jack gets the win.

Singles
White Samurai vs. Panda Mask II
Samurai was strong in the tournament, even though he lost, while Panda wasn't even in there to lose. Samurai gets the win.

Singles
The Incredible KOYAMA vs. UK Dragon
If Angel vs. Kojima wasn't on this card, this would probably be match of the night, especially since KOYAMA has been on fire with his performances lately. I see him sustaining that momentum and beating Dragon here.

Singles
Angry Gilmore vs. Marat Khoklov
I see Umaga being the one to take down Khoklov, which is the only reason I'm going against Gilmore here. Gilmore could easily win though (or at least believably win), so I wouldn't be surprised to see it going the other way.

Singles
Emerald Angel vs. Koji Kojima
Kojima hasn't had a match in the tournament yet, so in theory is the fresh man. Plus, I'm really marking out for the possibility of a Thunder/Kojima semi final matchup. :D

Match 1: Silver Shark vs. Nathanial Ca$ino.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NathanielCaino.jpg

This was Nate’s first real opportunity on the main card so far in the tour, and he used it wisely, showcasing the abilities that have made him one of the hottest prospects on the indy scene. Shark initially had the control in this match, catching Nate with a snap suplex before slowly picking apart his head, but Nate was able to surprise the veteran with a stiff elbow to the face when he was being pulled up, and then connected with a leaping kick right to the side of the jaw, flipping Shark over. He then tried to keep the match on the mat, but Shark went hold for hold with the youngster until they were both back on their feet. Nate tried to charge in and connect with a rolling heel kick but Shark side stepped the move and then connected with his own right to the jaw of Nate when he got up to his feet. Shark kept control of the match for the remaining few minutes, finishing things off with the Deep Sea Snap, a Super Kick, to the youngster.

Winner: Silver Shark by pinfall in 8:16 – C

As Shark begins to celebrate, White Samurai emerges from the back and assaults the champ, beating him down to the mat before driving him viciously into the canvas with a gutwrench powerbomb. After looking over the damage he has caused, he grabs a microphone from ringside.

“Sensei says, that to be a champion, one must have honour, skill and wisdom. Yet, we are represented by a man who believes he is a creature of the sea, a clearly ridiculous belief. The only way of life to me, is Bushido, the way of the warrior. And it is for that reason, that I challenge this “person” to a title match at Do The Dance of Shame, in order to bring honour back to this company, and to remove those who are of badly clouded thoughts, turning them into those who are of actual worth.”

Samurai then bows to a chorus of boos from the audience.

C+ for attack
B- for challenge

After a quick break, we return to a video hyping up the main event tonight, highlighting the signature moves of the two men involved and their recent tournament victories.

Match 2: Dragon & Furusawa vs. Half Machine Half Amazing.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/YukiHorigoshi.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EguchiTheAmazing.jpg

Neither of these teams seemed to gel against each other tonight, with Eguichi looking totally out of place in terms of talent. And so it was only fitting that he would be the one who started off the match against UK Dragon. Eguichi began to mime in the ring, forming a box around himself and then crossing his arms and laughing at Dragon. The veteran looked confused, but that soon passed as he charged in towards Eguichi. But to his amazement, he rebounded of the invisible wall Eguichi had created, causing Dragon to scratch his head and look over to his partner who raised his arms in similar confusion. Dragon tried once again, but crashed into the wall once more, causing Eguichi to break into near hysterics, slapping the mat from laughter. Dragon thought for a second and then smiled before reaching towards the wall. He seemed to grab something and opened what would appear to be the door through this wall, causing Eguichi to leap up in fright and try to leave the ring, but Dragon grabbed him by the hair and tossed him across the ring with a release Dragon Suplex. Eguichi landed right on his head, but Dragon didn’t back off, kicking the youngster several times in the back and face before throwing him towards his own corner in order to get Yuki to tag in.

The man dubbed “100% Machine” obliged and tagged himself in before eagerly entering the ring and locking up with the veteran. Dragon appeared to have the initial advantage, forcing the youngster down to his knees, but Yuki soon began to fight back, pushing the veteran towards the ropes and then whipping him across the ring. When he came back, Yuki charged towards him and levelled him with stiff back elbow, and then began to pummel away at the head of the gaijin, throwing several punches and kicks in that direction before finally dragging him up to his feet. Yuki pulled the veteran over to the corner, and once he was positioned, began to batter away with a barrage of chops to the chest of the veteran, a chest which soon turned red. After the twentieth chop, Yuki backed away, expecting Dragon to fall forward, but he was caught off guard when Dragon charged forward and levelled the youngster with a clothesline out of nowhere. Dragon crawled over to his corner and tagged in Mabuchi who clambered into the ring to stop Yuki from reaching his own corner, but it was to no avail, as Yuki tagged Eguichi back in. Mabuchi backed away, thinking of a plan, while Eguichi hastily tried to re-build the earlier wall. He only got half way through it when Mabuchi charged through a hole and floored Eguichi with a big boot.

Eguichi tried to get back up to his feet, but he was too dazed and he began to stagger about, leaving him open for an attack by Mabuchi, who booted him in the gut and then whipped him into the corner. Eguichi’s head went through a pair of turnbuckles, and when Mabuchi tried to yank him out, he didn’t budge, having caught his head between the pair. Mabuchi began to get angry, and after pulling him out, threw Eguichi across the ring with a belly to belly suplex and then promptly locked him in the Furusawa Armbar, a tight high angle crowbar, which had Eguichi tapping almost instantly.

Winners: Dragon & Furusawa by submission in 10:38 - C

As earlier, when Dragon and Furusawa are celebrating, they are attacked in the ring by The Avalanche Effect. Both tag champs hit their finishers on their challengers, leaving them down and out.

Match 3: Cyber Fighter 3000 vs. Takeshi Umehara.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/CyberFighter3000.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TakesiUmehara.jpg

This was simply not a good match, and many fans were wondering why it was so high up on the card when it featured some lower level midcarders. The two locked up in the middle of the ring, and it seemed like Takeshi was going to get the first advantage of the match, as he was able to back Cyber into the ropes, but he got a bit too ****y and slapped the champ in the face. Cyber’s head jolted back into place, staring a hole through Takeshi, before the champ began to dance. Takeshi tried to catch him with a punch, but Cyber caught his fist and then turned it into the wave. Takeshi staggered backwards after wrenching his hand back and tried to charge back in, but Cyber ducked a clothesline attempt and then fired back with a stiff back elbow and then kick to the face that sent the veteran over the top rope and tumbling to the floor below. It took a while for Takeshi to get up to his feet, but when he did, Cyber slingshot-ted himself over the top rope into a cross body block, squashing the veteran underneath him.

Cyber was the first man back into the ring, and he used the time before Takeshi got in to recover his breath. When the veteran eventually rolled back into the ring, Cyber took the fight right to him, kicking him in the head and pulling him up to his feet before whipping him across the ring. Takeshi tried to counter with a running clothesline when he came back, but Cyber ducked it and then connected with a leaping leg lariat when Takeshi rebounded again. The veteran seemed to be seeing stars, as he didn’t move until Cyber pulled him up to his feet. He booted the veteran in the gut and then whipped him into the corner, causing Takeshi to crash into the turnbuckles back first. The veteran clasped at his back in pain, but Cyber quickly followed up with a clothesline and then hopped up to the top rope. Takeshi tried to swing a punch, but Cyber blocked it and then pulled the veteran up with him. When they reached the top, Cyber booted him in the gut and then nailed the Cyber Hack, leaping off the before connecting with the move, nearly knocking Takeshi out from the impact. Cyber went for the cover and got the fairly academic victory.

Winner: Cyber Fighter 3000 by pinfall in 6:37 – C-

In what appears to be a pattern for tonight’s show, Bussho runs in and attacks Cyber Fighter, catching him with the Blazing Elbow out of nowhere. Cyber flipped over from the impact, and Bussho stood with his legs either side of the fallen champion with his hands raised in supposed victory.

C

We then go backstage to where Seiho Kuroda is interviewing Mr. Miwa:

“Mr. Miwa, tonight your client, Rhino Umaga, faces one of the young stars of WLW, Eagle Kawasawa..”

“Exactly, he is young. What most people seem to think around this company and in this business in general, is that because you are young, it instantly means you stand more of a chance. Well, tonight, my client will prove every single believer of that concept dead wrong in that ring when he destroys Eagle in record time.”

“So you think Rhino will definitely win?”

“What kind of a question is that you cretin?

“Cretin?”

“Look it up, but to answer that supposed ‘question’ of yours, of course Rhino will win. He has more experience and more achievements in this business than Eagle will ever hope to have. He has held gold in all of the major Japanese companies, and he will be once step closer to getting another piece of gold around his waist when he goes all the way and brings both the Universal Title and it’s trophy home.”

“Why am I a cretin?”

Mr. Miwa shakes his head and gestures off screen. Rhino Umaga comes charging across our view and floors poor Seiho Kuroda with a massive clothesline, almost decapitating the much smaller man.

“That is why, because you are not able to withstand the might of Rhino Umaga, just like everybody else in this business.”

Miwa leaves laughing with his client Umaga close behind. The camera then closes in on an unconscious Seiho before we head to the ring.

B

Match 4: Eagle Kawasawa vs. Rhino Umaga.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EagleKawasawa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/RhinoUmaga.jpg

Eagle was noticeably nervous heading to the ring for this match, having witnessed the destruction that Rhino had just wrought on poor Seiho Kuroda backstage. Mr. Miwa however, was full of smiles, proudly escorting Rhino to the ring. As soon as the bell rang, Eagle tried to take the big man off his feet with a shoulder block, but Rhino just shook it off and roared in the face of the smaller Eagle. He tried again, but just got the same reaction. On a third try, Rhino tried to counter him with a clothesline, but Eagle slid between his legs and then caught the big man with a dropkick to the lower back. Rhino stumbled forward, and Eagle tried to capitalise with a running bulldog, but Rhino stopped him mid-move and then turned it into a wheelbarrow facebuster style move, planting Eagle into the canvas face first. Rhino controlled the match for a little bit after that, as Eagle kept feeling the effects of that facebuster for a few minutes, before eventually shaking them off and connecting with a running enziguri to the big man after being whipped into the ropes.

He didn’t manage to knock Umaga down however, instead stunning the big man. Eagle realised this and ran to the ropes with the intention to nail a springboard dropkick, but Umaga charged after him and caught him into a devastating spinebuster when he leapt off the ropes. Eagle’s head bounced off of the mat upon impact, and Rhino went for the cover, with Eagle only just kicking out in time. Umaga pulled the smaller man to his feet and then whipped him into the corner. As soon as he hit the turnbuckles, Rhino charged in after him attempting a clothesline, but Eagle back flipped over him and then ran to the ropes. Rhino tried to catch him with another clothesline when he returned, but Eagle countered with a head scissors DDT, planting the big man. Eagle tried to keep control again by flying around the ring and knocking the big man over, but he tried it once too many times, as Rhino was able to roll through a diving cross body block attempt and then drove Eagle into the mat with a running powerslam. He went for the cover, with Eagle only just kicking out in time yet again.

Eagle rolled out of the ring to try and recover, but Rhino followed him out, clubbing him over the back with a double axe handle off the apron. The youngster dropped to his knees in pain before trying to fight back against Rhino, punching the Samoan several times in the gut, but this only served to anger the big man, who just picked Eagle up and launched him into the barricade. Umaga smiled sadistically as he pulled the smaller man back up to his feet, and then drove Eagle’s head into the top of the barricade before throwing him into apron. Eagle flopped to the floor, seemingly lifeless, but Rhino was relentless, and rolled the younger man back into the ring, following him shortly after. He kicked Eagle several times in the back before pulling him up to his feet and whipping him across the ring. Eagle barely managed to stay upright, only to be floored with a running high knee smash from the Samoan. Rhino went for the cover, and came amazingly close to getting the victory, but Eagle showed his resilience when he kicked out a nanosecond before the three count.

Rhino simply pulled him up off the mat and booted him in the gut before lifting him high into the air and bringing him back down across his knee with a vicious backbreaker. Rhino stretched the poor Eagle across his knee, causing the young man to scream in pain, before lifting him up again and then planting him with a sidewalk slam. He went for the cover again, but Eagle once again kicked out. Rhino was getting upset at this point, and pulled Eagle up to his feet, smashed him across the face with a stiff elbow shot, and then whipped him across the ring. He ran the opposite way, and when he tried to nail a running shoulder block, Eagle surprised him by summoning reserves of energy to nail a leaping kick right to the jaw of the big man, sending him to the mat. Rhino was soon back up on his feet though, and clubbed Eagle in the back, trying to whip him across the ring again. Eagle tried to counter this with a suplex, but Rhino reversed it into a brainbuster, spiking the young man right on his head. Eagle rolled around clutching his neck while Rhino snarled and flexed his muscles for the audience. He then went over to Eagle and tried to pull him into the middle of the ring, but the young man was able to counter with a nip-up hurracanrana that sent the Samoan rolling out of the ring.

Rhino was once again quickly on his feet, but this time he was not ready for what came next, as Eagle leapt onto the top rope and then flipped off with a moonsault in one fluid motion. Eagle landed right on the head of Rhino, sending the Samoan right to the floor and rolling into the barricade. Eagle took some time to recover before rolling back into the ring. Rhino slowly got up to his feet, shaking off the effects of that moonsault, and then got into the ring before the referee reached eight. He tried to catch Eagle with a back elbow but the smaller man ducked it and connected with an enziguri that stunned the big man. Eagle then ran to the ropes and springboarded backwards into a leg lariat that sent the Samoan to the mat. Eagle then began to signal for the Vision Quest to the fans, but Mr. Miwa climbed onto the apron to argue with him. Eagle simply laughed him off and kicked him in the face, sending him tumbling to the floor. Rhino noticed, and his face seemed to fill with rage. Eagle slowly turned round and ran towards Rhino, aiming to finish him off, but the Samoan charged at the last second and almost broke Eagle in two with the Rhino Charge. Eagle was out cold from the impact, giving Rhino the victory.

A decent match, but these two just didn’t seem to click in the ring at all, which brought it down.

Pre-Show

Tasuku Shinozuka def. Kid Toma – B-
Magnum KOBE def. Hidekazu - B

To kick off the show we have a video hyping up the main event of Emerald Angel vs. Koji Kojima.

B+

Match 1: Eguichi The Amazing vs. Jungle Jack.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EguchiTheAmazing.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/JungleJack.jpg

After Eguichi’s fairly solid showing on the last show, he upped his game against the veteran Jack, but still didn’t fare that well. From the very beginning, the match was completely in control of Jack, as he was able to throw around the smaller man like he weighed absolutely nothing. Eguichi managed to build his now famous invisible wall, preventing Jack from reaching him with an attempted clothesline. Jack took a moment to think, and then backed away from Eguichi before charging in at full pace, seeming to break right through it. Eguichi fell on his behind, but Jack just pulled him right up and connected with several stiff elbows and a strong uppercut that sent the Mime back to the mat. He took his time to get back up to his feet, but when he tried to run away, Jack stopped him in his tracks with a leaping knee that connected right with his jaw, stunning him. Jack then dragged him back to the middle of the ring before nailing the Jungle Jack Hammer for the cover in a fairly one-sided match.

Winner: Jungle Jack by pinfall in 9:16 – C+

We then quickly see a hype video of White Samurai, showing clips of his challenge and assault of Silver Shark on the last show.

B-

After the video, we go backstage to see Silver Shark being interviewed by Seiho Kuroda.

“Silver Shark, what do you have to say to White Samurai’s challenge last week?”

“Forget the question, how about talking about what the fladoodle was up with him attacking me?”

“Fladoodle?”

“He preaches to us about honour and being of open minds, but it takes somebody without honour to attack somebody when they are not ready or have their backs turned. The true samurai attacked face on, not from under the ring or through the crowd. And only one of a truly distorted mind would think of attacking somebody for no real reason.”

“Your point being?”

“Very well, White Samurai. I accept your challenge, but I will give you this warning. You had better be watching your back at every turn, and trust nobody. Because there are some truly dark and destructive beasts in the depths of the ocean, and you have just upset their master.”

Silver Shark walks off while Seiho has his trademark confused look on his face.

C+

Match 2: White Samurai vs. Panda Mask II.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/PandaMask.jpg

These two really seemed to click out their in the ring, which made this a much better match than it was originally planned to be. Samurai came out to the ring looking very confident, convinced that this was going to be a very easy win for him. However, this attitude was his undoing in the first part of the match, as he dropped his guard, allowing Panda to floor him with a slingshot clothesline when he entered the ring. Samurai tried to get up to his feet and attack the smaller man, but Panda connected with a dropkick and then leg drop, causing Samurai to roll out of the ring to the floor below. When he got up to his feet, Panda tried to send him back down with a moonsault, but Samurai moved out of the way just in time, causing Panda to crash onto the barricade stomach first. He slowly flopped off of the barricade clutching his gut, rolling around in pain, but Samurai didn’t care, as he pulled the smaller man up to his feet and whipped him back into the ring. He soon followed suit, and drove Panda back into the mat with a DDT when he tried to mount a comeback. Samurai then leapt up to the top rope and came leaping off with the Art of War, coming crashing down right on the gut of his fallen foe. He hooked the leg and got the academic victory.

Winners: White Samurai by pinfall in 6:39 - B

We then go backstage to see Kimuraman strolling down the corridor, only to get nailed right in the face with a door when Khoklov strolls out of his locker room. When the door swings shut, Kimuraman is on the floor unconscious.

B

We then see a quick hype video for the KOYAMA vs. Dragon match.

B-

Match 3: The Incredible KOYAMA vs. UK Dragon.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg

These two can always be depended on to produce a great match, and that is just what they did tonight. Given the past history and the current feud between them as well, and it was even better. The match started with a respectful handshake between the two before KOYAMA seized control with a twisting wrist clutch, occasionally tightening the hold just to cause more damage. Dragon struggled to do anything for a little while before flipping and then kipping up out of the hold and slapping Koyama in a hammerlock. Koyama dropped to one knee and send Dragon over his shoulder, quickly cinching in a rear Chinlock, but Dragon was able to fight his way out of that move as well before getting up to his feet. Koyama quickly did the same, resulting in a standoff between the two men that drew some applause from the crowd. They shook hands again before heading to separate corners. They circled for a little while before charging into the lock up, with Dragon being able to gain control with a quick knee to the gut and then connecting with a dropkick to the side of the head that sent Koyama to the mat.

Dragon was keen on keeping the match on the mat, where he was strongest, and he tried to do just that when he locked Koyama in a tight side headlock. Koyama seemed ready to escape the hold after a while though, so Dragon quickly transitioned it into a modified camel clutch, driving his knee right into the back of Koyama to add even more pressure than usual. Koyama struggled over the ropes and was just about to reach them when Dragon pulled him up to his feet and whipped him across the ring. Koyama tried to counter with a clothesline but Dragon floored him with a running chop to the chest. Koyama got back up to his feet quickly and went over to the corner, but he took too long getting up the top due to the pain in his back, allowing Dragon to chase him up and hang him in the tree of woe. The veteran Dragon then ran to the opposite corner, signalled to the crowd, and then charged back, connecting with a hesitation dropkick right to the face of Koyama. The youngster flopped off of the turnbuckles onto his front, and Dragon dragged him back into the middle, trying for the cover, but Koyama kicked out at two.

Koyama eventually regained the advantage towards the end of the match, being able to dropkick Dragon in the back out of desperation when he attempted a springboard back elbow, and then using the time to recover. When they both got up to their feet, they ran to the opposite ropes and tried to go for shoulder blocks, but this resulted in a stalemate. Dragon ran back, but Koyama was able to counter with a super kick to the jaw when he came running back and then locked the veteran in the Koyama Grip. Dragon screamed in pain and tried to reach the ropes, frantically grasping, but he was too far away. This didn’t deter the veteran though, as he kept trying to reach them until he had no fight left in him and passed out to the hold.

Winner: The Incredible KOYAMA by submission in 15:43 – B+

Koyama gets up after the referee calls for the bell and begins to celebrate. He notices Dragon coming to and heads over to him. It seems like he is about to attack him, but he instead pulls the veteran up to his feet and raises his arm out of respect.

B

After a quick break, we return backstage to see Angry Gilmore getting ready for his match. As he warms up, stretching out his legs and arms, Greg Gauge walks into view.

“Tom, good luck out there tonight man.”

“And what makes you think I need any luck?”

Greg is slightly taken aback by the abrasiveness of the response, but he remains mellow and happy.

“The reason is, you are facing one of the biggest wrestlers this business has ever seen. He is the immovable object of the present day, and I know that by personal experience. Nothing I tried during our match did anything to that behemoth. So I was wishing you luck and hoping you got the win out their tonight, or this company might be in for a whole lot of pain if he wins the tournament.”

Angry, who had started tying his boots, just looks up at Greg with an expressionless face.

“Tell you what, you get lost, and I’ll finish the job that you couldn’t do. Okay?”

He then strides off towards the ring, leaving an insulted Greg in the locker room. Greg seems to be smiling, almost pitifully, but we then notice that one of his hands is clenched.

B

Match 4: Angry Gilmore vs. Marat Khoklov.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AngryGilmore.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MaratKhoklov.jpg

This match was always going to be one sided, as all Marat’s matches have been. However, he wasn’t expecting quite the fight that he got in this match. Although what Angry said previous to the match could be taken as just pure arrogance on his part, he did back it up in the ring, as he had the behemoth on the back foot at a few parts in the match, which is incredibly impressive considering the major size difference between the two. When the bell rang, Marat charged in, trying to end it early with a lariat, but Angry ducked underneath and then dropkicked the Russian in the back. It had little effect, as Marat just spun around, aiming to connect with a left hook. Angry ducked this as well though, and he unleashed a series of kicks to the left knee of the giant, trying to immobilise him or at least slow him down a little bit. It initially had Marat struggling, as each impact caused him to drop closer to one knee, but when Angry stopped to survey the damage, Marat stood upright and then clasped the shoulders of Angry and tossed him out of the ring. Gimore flew right over the top rope and hit the uncovered concrete, causing him to yell out in pain and clutch his back.

Marat followed him out, if only to dish out more punishment, pulling Gilmore up to his feet and then launching him sideways into the ring apron, nearly knocking the gaijin unconscious upon impact. Marat seemed to pause for a second to think of what to do, before a smile spread across his face and he walked over to the ring steps. He dislodged them before going back to Gilmore and pulling his barely awake foe up to his feet. Marat tried to whip Gilmore into the exposed steel, but Angry surprised everybody when he was able to shoot full of energy and back flip over the steps just before he would have hit them. Marat tried to charge at him for a lariat, but Angry countered him mid-swing by using the steps as a platform to leap up and connect with a head scissors that brought the behemoth down to the floor, albeit clumsily. Gilmore jumped up to his feet and then rolled back into the ring, catching his breath and waiting for Marat to get back up to his feet. When he eventually did, Angry leapt onto the top rope and connected with a picture perfect moonsault that brought him crashing down on the Russian. Marat seemed to absorb most of the impact, but the sheer momentum forced him back down to the floor.

Gilmore again rolled back into the ring when he got up to his feet, recovering from his recent beating and thinking out a new game plan. Marat got up to his feet in time to not get counted out, but when he got up to the apron, Gilmore connected with a baseball slide to his bad knee, causing the giant to slip up and land badly on the apron. The behemoth tried to shake off the pain, but his knee just couldn’t support his bulk. Gilmore backed off, allowing the giant to enter the ring, but instantly ran to the ropes when he showed signs of getting up. Marat struggled to do so, given his weak knee, but when Gilmore tried to connect with a springboard moonsault Marat caught him in mid-air and then turned it into a makeshift Tombstone Piledriver. Gilmore was out cold from the impact alone, as he barely moved afterwards, but this didn’t affect Marat, as the big Russian climbed on top of Angry and connected with a sickening barrage of punches right to the face. The referee warned him to stop, but Marat didn’t listen, and upon the eighth consecutive punch with no resistance from Gilmore, the referee called for the disqualification as he needed to get Gilmore help.

Winner: Angry Gilmore by Disqualification in 10:46 – B+

Upon hearing the bell ringing, Marat let out a bellow of rage before picking up and hurling the referee to the outside in anger. Gilmore was still prone on the mat, and this unfortunately did not bode well for him still, as Marat decided to take out his anger on his helpless foe. He pulled Angry up to his feet, lifted him high into the air, and then drove him viciously into the mat with the Russian Legend Powerbomb, almost breaking the poor American’s back in the process. Having done what he wanted to do, Marat left the ring, all the while smiling while heading to the back.

B+

After a quick break for an advert highlighting the dangers of wrestling, ironic perhaps, we are taken backstage again where owner Koji Kojima is holding a microphone.

“Ten years ago today, we held the tournament to crown the very first champion of this amazing company. And being the competitor I was, wanting the best for the fans and for them to not be represented by some over-righteous fool like Awesome Thunder, I made it all the way to the finals before that sneak cheated. Mr. Miwa blew sand in my eyes, allowing Thunder to kick me in the face and then seal the deal.”

Koji begins to look angered, but he takes a moment to cool off before speaking again, running his hand over his head.

“Interesting how it’s ten years later, and yet I am in the exact same situation right now. I am set to face Emerald Angel, a man who was initially one of the biggest fan favourites the industry had, drawing massive crowds. But sadly, like all young men who achieve success, it all went to his head. He turned his back on those people who brought him that success and began to live the life of a self-loving prima donna who thinks that he can do whatever the damn hell he wants.”

A smirk just barely appears on the edge of his lips.

“Well, you know what? He can’t do whatever the damn hell he wants, because as long as people like me and people who actually have respect for the fans are around, people like him with be kept in check and unable to do a damn thing. I have been in this business for nigh on twenty or so years now, and have achieved a great deal of success, but you don’t see it going to my head do you?”

He shakes his head while smiling.

“No, you don’t, because I realise that happened because people believed in me and that I had a debt to pay to them by going out there and giving it the best I could in order to get closer to repaying that debt. And that’s why, tonight, I will put this punk in his place and make him realise that he is not the top dog, he is not the best there is, and he will NEVER succeed if he doesn’t realise who got him where he is today. So Angel, you better be damn ready, because you have made a lot of enemies. And those enemies…might just be willing to make your life a living hell.”

Koji leaves the camera shot with a serious look on his face as he walks to the ring.

A

Match 5: Emerald Angel vs. Koji Kojima.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EmeraldAngel.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KojiKojima.jpg

This was definitely going to be a war if what Koji had just said was anything to go by. Before the bell rang, the two men got right up in each others faces trash talking their opponent. When the referee called for them to separate, Angel cheap-shotted the veteran with a punch to the side of the head. Koji took this as a grave insult and tackled Angel to the mat before unloading with a series of punches right to the face of the youngster, stunning him. Koji then pulled Angel up to his feet and whipped him across the ring, connecting with kitchen sink running knee when he came back, flipping the youngster over. Koji tried to go for a leg lock, but Angel kipped up into a head scissors, using his hands to spin around for extra momentum. Koji rolled out of the ring upon landing in order to catch a breather, but Angel didn’t give him any time at all, connecting with a running shooting star press to the outside, clearing the top rope on the back flip. He landed right on Koji’s head, knocking the veteran right down and backwards into the barricade.

Koji came to, and tried to fight back with a couple of punches to the smaller man, but Angel was able to block a shot and then fire back with a few of his own, stunning the veteran enough for him to connect with an enziguri. The youngster then placed Koji on the barricade, facing the ceiling, before clambering back into the ring and climbing up onto the top turnbuckles. He turned his back to the veteran to gesture to the crowd before leaping off with a moonsault attempt, and even though he left the crowd in awe with the grace that he pulled the move off with, Koji rolled off of the barricade, causing the arrogant youngster to come crashing down gut first on the unforgiving steel. Angel yelled out in pain and then rolled into the crowd. Koji followed him out and brawled with him through the crowd, before quickly running back to the ring and dragging a dazed Angel back with him before the referee counted them both out. When Koji got up to his feet he booted Angel in the gut and then ran to the ropes, connecting with a beautiful running dropsault to the jaw of the youngster, flipping him over from the impact.

Koji then slowed the pace of the match down a little, locking Angel in a tight armbar, continually wrenching the arm back as far as he could at regular intervals in order to try and permanently damage it, or so it seemed, as he did not let up, even when Angel was getting close to the ropes. Eventually the young Angel was able to grab onto the bottom rope, but Koji did not release it until the referee warned him. Angel barely had any time to recover as Koji stomped at his back and head before pulling him up to his feet and placing him in the corner. The veteran then whipped Angel across into the opposite corner, but when he tried to follow up with a running back elbow, Angel ran somersaulted over him and then pulled him in a school boy, almost getting the pin. Koji got right up to his feet and then kicked Angel in the face before pulling him up to his feet. He whipped the youngster across the ring, and tried to clothesline him to the mat, but Angel countered in mid-run with the Angel Spike, a leaping DDT, planting Koji right into the canvas.

Angel went for the cover, but the veteran instincts of Koji kicked in as he kicked out just after the two count. Angel pulled the veteran up to his feet before striking him in the side of the head with a stiff elbow and then booting him in the gut and connecting with a double axe handle, sending Koji down to one knee. Angel the ran to the ropes, and when he came back, nailed a step up head scissors that sent Koji tumbling out of the ring. Angel was a lot more wary this time when he followed Koji out, taking the veteran down with a running suicide plancha that sent him flying into the barricade. Angel then pulled him up to his feet and went for a suplex, aiming to bring Koji down on the solid concrete, but the veteran was able to reverse it into snap suplex, sending Angel into the barricade instead. Koji rolled back into the ring, and when it seemed like Angel was about to roll back into the ring, the veteran ran to the ropes and connected with the Tiger Feint Kick, kicking the youngster across the side of the face. He then followed him to the outside, connecting with a leaping double axe handle to the top of his head before whipping him back into the ring.

Koji took the match back to the mat, focusing mainly on Angel’s arms. Despite some initial resistance, he was able to stretch the right arm of the youngster out fully and repeatedly drove his knee into it. Angel tried to wrench it away, but this just prompted Koji to stomp on his chest and then connect with a leg drop to the weakened joint. Angel struggled to get out of the hold, but Koji prevented him from moving due to practically pinning him to the mat with his leg. Eventually though, Angel figured out a way to escape and kicked the veteran several times in the back and head with his closest leg before rolling backwards into a makeshift hurracanrana. Koji got up to his feet, only to be sent back down with a running leg lariat that turned him inside out. Angel was really feeling the effects of the repeated arm holds, as he began to favour his right arm, but he kept on fighting. He pulled the veteran up to his feet and then whipped him into the corner before following up with a running back elbow right to the jaw. This stunned the veteran, who staggered out of the corner, but when Angel tried to charge in with a clothesline, Koji caught him by surprise by ducking the arm, grabbing it while he did so, and then using it to pull the youngster down to the mat and promptly lock him in the Koji Crossface, an arm trap crossface. Angel screamed in pain, due to it putting even more pressure on his already injured arm, but through sheer determination and resilience he was able to make it to the ropes, causing Koji to get frustrated and question the referee.

This was just the opening Angel needed though, as he low blowed the veteran, which the referee couldn’t see, and then pulled him down to the mat with a sleeperslam. Angel made sure he stayed down by connecting with the Angel Snap, an Arabian Press, and then climbed on to the top. He took longer than usual due to his bad arm, and he almost lost balance while climbing up, but after steadying himself he came flying off with the ever beautiful Angel Fury, connecting and getting the victory in a fairly controversial way.

Winner: Emerald Angel by pinfall in 17:59 – A

No news this week.

Card

Here are the updated tournament brackets:

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Tourny%20brackets/TournamentBrackets3.jpg

In this next week we hold the final quarterfinal match of the tournament, Awesome Thunder vs. Magnum KOBE in a battle of Present vs. Future, and then the two semi-final matches, with one on each card. One the first show, we have the hotly anticipated Rhino Umaga vs. Angry Gilmore match up. Both men have really been on a tear as of late, although Angry may have to forfeit the tournament following his savage beatdown at the hands of Marat Khoklov last week. Which man will get one step closer to achieving their dream?

And on the final show before Do The Dance Of Shame, we have the final semi-final match as the winner of the Thunder/KOBE match will take on Emerald Angel. Angel’s position in the tournament came into question after management watched replays of the final moments of his match against Kojima last week, and have told him he has to be completely clean or he will forfeit the match and the tournament all together.

For the Wednesday show, to kick off the show we have the veteran Takeshi Umehara taking on Americana in what will be a fairly exciting bout, with it being Americana’s first appearance on the main card for the whole tour so far. We then have Kimuraman taking on Nathanial Ca$ino. Ca$ino has been fairly impressive, even in defeat, so far, while Kimuraman has become the perennial whipping boy per se, as he has suffered attacks at the hands of various attackers over the last month. Will he really be in any fit shape to compete?

And then as a tune-up match for his title match, we have Bussho Makiguchi taking on the veteran Tasuku Shinozuka. Tasuku is another person who has been very impressive so far, and will his experience and achievement edge be too much for Bussho? Or will the youngster solidify his claim to be one of the top young talents in Japan today with a solid victory?

On the final show, we kick off with what will be a truly exciting and entertaining bout, as Cyber Fighter 3000 and Silver Shark team up for the first time to take on their respective challengers Bussho Makiguchi and White Samurai. Which team will get the bragging rights and momentum heading into their title matches just one day later? On that note, we also have a non-title bout as a preview of the tag title match at Do The Dance of Shame takes place with Dragon & Furusawa taking on The Avalanche Effect. Both teams are solidly accomplished in the tag division, which one will start their claim as being the best?

Whoever loses the Umaga/Gilmore match on the Wednesday card will face Burning EXILE in one on one action, and this will definitely be a tough bout, as whoever faces the freelance semi-legend will most likely he very upset and wanting to get revenge.

And then finally before the main event we have Koshiro Ino’s return to WLW as he faces fellow heavyweight Nariaki Hitomi in what is sure to be a stiff, yet entertaining, contest.

Angel Fury = Instant Buys !! :)

Some neat booking on your part, to keep Khoklov looking strong but out of the tournament, and nice to see Gilmore busting out the Picture Perfect Moonsault.

WLW Rave Tour Show #7

Singles
Takeshi Umehara vs. Americana

I've got to go with my man Americana

Singles
Kimuraman vs. Nathanial Ca$ino

Kimuraman will show some resillience by picking up the win over Ca$ino

Singles
Tasuku Shinozuka vs. Bussho Makiguchi

Experience will be the key as Shinozuka edges this one

Singles
Awesome Thunder vs. Magnum KOBE

Thunder is starting to get on in years and it's time for some of the newer generation to be put over, so I think KOBE progresses here

Singles
Rhino Umaga vs. Angry Gilmore

Even though the odds seem stacked against Gilmore, with him coming into the match carrying injuries from his 'beating' at the hands of Marat Khoklov, I can't help thinking he'll find some way to pull the win out of the bag again.

WLW Rave Tour Show #8

Silver Shark & Cyber Fighter 3000 vs. White Samurai & Bussho Makiguchi

Samurai's about to challenge for Sharks belt, and Bussho could do with a win. Cyber Fighter 3000 is in there to do the job.

Singles
Rhino Umaga/Angry Gilmore vs. Burning EXILE

Umaga will be very angry, after losing to Gilmore and I wouldn't want to be in Burning EXILE's shoes.

Singles
Koshiro Ino vs. Nariaki Hitomi

No way does Ino lose in his comeback match, especially to someone as mediocre as Nariaki Hitomi

Tag Team
Non-Title
Dragon & Furusawa vs. The Avalanche Effect- DRAW

Interesting to have these two face off first in a non title contest, I see this one ending in a draw with neither team gaining a major advantage ahead of their title showdown.

Singles
Awesome Thunder/Magnum KOBE vs. Emerald Angel

KOBE continues his ascendency towards the top, as he earns a shock win over Emerald Angel. I also forsee some shenanighans where Angel initially wins the match, but the decision is reversed after the referee spots that Angel 'cheated'.

Match 1: Takeshi Umehara vs. Americana.

Americana had been absent from the main shows for quite some time, and that helped lend this match some flare as Americana pulled out some of his best spots to show that he is back to make a mark. The match started out with the bigger Takeshi gaining control after dropping the gaijin with a clothesline, but when the veteran tried to go for a delayed suplex, milking it for as much time as possible, Americana was able to drop behind him and then turn it into a Reverse DDT, spiking Takeshi right on his head. The gaijin had the match in his hands for the rest of the time, keeping the veteran in check with several quick pace holds, constantly changing to prevent Takeshi from gaining any momentum, before taking to the air again. When he went for a springboard moonsault it looked like he was going to crash and burn as the veteran Takeshi moved out of the way, but Americana managed to land on his feet and then nailed a rolling wheel kick. The youngster then quickly hopped up top, causing some of the crowd to rise to their feet before he came flying off with the Inferno Splash Mk III, an Imploding 450 Splash. He connected right with the sternum and hooked the leg for the academic victory.

Winner: Americana by pinfall in 9:38 – C

Match 2: Kimuraman vs. Nathanial Ca$ino.

Not a great match by any standards, but a solid match for people so far down the card. Kimuraman came down to the ring noticeably limping and holding his head, obviously still feeling the effects of the recent attacks he has taken. Therefore, Nate naturally thought this match was going to be in the bag, and toyed with the smaller man for the best part of the beginning, but eventually he got too overconfident, giving Kimura time to boot him in the gut and then send him across the ring with a head scissors. Nate sprung up soon after and charged back across, only to be floored with a leaping kick right to the jaw. Kimuraman then brought to the floor the technical skills that won him five tap out titles when he locked Nate in several painful holds, including a bow and arrow lock that almost had the gaijin tapping. Nate was able to build some momentum towards the end of the match, using his superior strength to throw the small Kimura around the ring like a rag doll, but when he went for the Hard Eight, a running enziguri, Kimura was able to duck under it and then boot the gaijin in the gut before driving him into the mat with the Ocean Crush, a sit-out suplex crush. He managed to steal the victory, quickly rolling out of the ring before Nate tried to get revenge.

Winners: Kimuraman by pinfall in 11:07 - C

As he heads up the ramp, Kimura holds up his arm in celebration before making a superhero pose and heading to the back.

[B]Match 3: Tasuku Shinozuka vs. Bussho Makiguchi.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TasukuShinozuka.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg

This was practically a warm up match for Bussho on his way to the title match at Do The Dance of Shame, but while he expected a fairly easy match due to Tasuku’s advanced years, he instead got a pretty savage beatdown at the start of the match. As soon as Bussho rolled in, Tasuku was right on top of him, kicking away at his back and unloading a vicious series of punches that connected right with the jaw of the youngster. Eventually Bussho was able to roll out of the ring to avoid the onslaught, but Tasuku followed him out and whipped him into the barricade rolling him back into the ring. The veteran then tried to keep the match on the mat, but he soon found himself a match in the youngster, as Bussho went hold for hold with him until they both got up to their feet, staring each other down. Bussho tried to take the advantage with a running elbow smash, but the veteran Tasuku ducked it and then took the youngster to the mat with an armbar takedown before locking him in an inverted crucifix armbar. Bussho struggled to get out of the hold, eventually having to roll himself over until he was able to grab hold of the bottom rope, forcing Tasuku to release the hold.

Bussho tried to get up to his feet and recover, but he was the victim of another onslaught, as Tasuku seemed really intent on showing a more vicious side to him tonight, but he got a bit carried away, and when he tried to go for a clothesline Bussho managed to duck it and then brought the veteran to the mat with a neckbreaker before locking him in a grounded headlock. Tasuku fought the hold though, managing to get up to both feet, but Bussho stopped his attempted comeback with several quick punches to the gut followed by a roundhouse to the face, stunning the veteran. The youngster quickly ran to the ropes and followed up with a tilt-a-whirl armbar takedown, before getting up to his feet and connecting with a snap elbow drive right to the back of the head. This seemed to daze the veteran, as Bussho was able to pull him up to his feet and then whipped him across the ring before flooring him with a back elbow. He pulled him back up and drove his elbow repeatedly into the side of the head of the veteran, before running back to the ropes and connecting with the Blazing Elbow, flipping Tasuku onto his back and then quickly going for the cover, getting the victory in a surprisingly even match.

Winner: Bussho Makiguchi by pinfall in 12:37 – B-

After a quick break, we return to see Mr. Miwa backstage with Rhino Umaga and Awesome Thunder behind him.

“Tonight is going to be a clean sweep for my clients here. Of course, I’m sure you cretins that are out in the arena or watching think different, but let me tell you why it will be. First, Awesome Thunder, the most decorated Universal champion this company has ever seen, is going up against a kid who has had little in the way of achievements when compared to my incredible client. But then again, everybody is. Thunder has twice the experience that the brat Kobe has, and twice the talent, so it’s going to be an easy win right there.”

Awesome Thunder seems to laugh before returning to looking menacingly at the camera.

“Second, the most savage man to ever enter a World Level Wrestling ring, “The Wrecking Ball”, Rhino Umaga, is going to be facing a man who shouldn’t even be able to make it to the ring considering what happened to him last week. If he does come out to the ring, it will be one of the biggest mistakes he will ever make, as Rhino will show no remorse, and has orders to break that back truly in half if he dares to get in the way of our plans. I know that when Thunder again wins on Saturday that these two will have to face each other, but I have a plan for it. It’s going to be a fair and open contest between the two most talented wrestlers in the history of the business, too talented to be in a waste dump of a company like this.”

He laughs and pats his clients on the back.

“Good luck boys, but it’s not like you need it. Because nobody can stand the might of Rhino Umaga or the incredible skill of Awesome Thunder.”

Panda Mask II happens to wonder in at this point, which was probably the worse thing he could have done, as Thunder kicks him in the face before Rhino spears him into the wall, leaving a little dent where his body was.

B- for both hypes
C for attack

Match 4: Awesome Thunder vs. Magnum KOBE.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AwesomeThunder.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MagnumKobe.jpg

This was the classic past vs. present match up that everybody loves, but unlike most of these matches where the present is nothing compared to the young, these two tore up the ring with their equally amazing high flying abilities, although KOBE was noticeably more adept and agile than the veteran. When the match started, Kobe took him down with a tackle and then tried to lock him in a kneelock, but the veteran kicked him away and then kipped up before kicking him in the gut and driving him into the mat with a face first suplex, effectively giving him the early control. Kobe tried to scurry to the ropes to recover a little bit, but Thunder ran after him and dragged him into the middle of the ring before locking him in a tight armbar, where he would occasionally drive his knee or elbow into the joint to soften it up. Kobe struggled initially to escape the hold, almost being on the verge of tapping due to the damage that was already being done, but he was able to summon up the energy to fight his way over to the ropes to force the veteran to release him.

Thunder pulled him up and whipped him across the ring, aiming to take the youngster down with a powerslam when he returned, but Kobe was able to surprise the veteran with a leaping somersault clothesline out of nowhere, before rolling out of the ring favouring his arm. Kobe thought he was going to get time to recover, but he soon found out otherwise as the veteran Thunder soon shook off the effects of the clothesline to connect with his trademark no hands senton bomb plancha, colliding with Kobe on the way down. A smirk crossed the veteran’s face as he draped Kobe’s arm across the apron. The youngster began to come to as Thunder climbed onto the apron, but was unable to move out of the way in time before the veteran came down on his bad arm with a leg drop, causing him to wrench the arm away and yell in pain. Thunder quickly went up to him and rolled him back in before attempting a cover, only to have Kobe kick out. The smirk re-appeared as the veteran drove his knee into the back of the youngster several times before locking him in the Ace Clutch right in the middle of the ring.

Kobe screamed out in pain, and tried desperately to get to the ropes, but he soon found himself fading in the hold, due to the amount of pressure. Thunder increased that pressure by pressing his knee into the back of the youngster, causing him to eventually fade from the pain. When he began to show no signs of resisting the referee checked by lifting his arm. On the first try, there was no sign of life, and on the second exactly the same. The fans began to stomp their feet and chant “Ko-be, Ko-be” to get the youngster back into the fight, and it seemed to do the trick, as just before his arm hit the mat a third time he stiffened it and then began to fight back, rolling onto his front and scrambling over to the ropes. Thunder was beside himself with amazement, unable to comprehend how the youngster was able to survive the hold, and quickly followed Kobe, connecting with a stiff running forearm smash when Kobe got up that sent him tumbling out of the ring. Thunder tried to follow up with a running plancha, but Kobe rolled out of the way causing the veteran to crash and burn on the unforgiving floor below. Thunder clutched at his back, causing Mr. Miwa to run over and check on his client, but this left them both open to a Asai Moonsault from Kobe, leaving all three men down and out.

Kobe was the first up and into the ring, though he was noticeably favouring his back and arm still. Thunder managed to make it back before the referee counted him out, but he was no longer in control, because as soon as he stood up he was sent right back to the mat with a dropsault from Kobe who then nailed a standing spinning corkscrew senton, connecting with the back of the veteran, as Thunder had rolled over after the dropsault. Thunder yelled out in pain when the move hit, but Kobe showed as much compassion as the veteran would have, stomping away at the back of his opponent and then pulling the dazed veteran up to his feet before whipping him into the corner. He tried to follow up with a running back elbow, but Thunder somersaulted over him and then connected with a ganmengiri right to the back of the head of the youngster, sending him to the mat. However, when Thunder tried to climb up to the top for the Thunder Shock, Kobe followed him up and then sent the veteran flying across the ring with a Super Rana. Kobe quickly followed up by pulling Thunder up to his feet and then driving him into the mat with the Magnum Rocket Drive, getting the cover fairly quickly on the dazed veteran.

Winner: Magnum KOBE by pinfall in 16:43 – B+

When he heard the bell ringing, Kobe grabbed his head out of disbelief, incredibly happy that he was now heading to the semi-finals.

B+

However, this celebration was short-lived, as Thunder got up to his feet while the youngster had his arm raised and then attacked him from behind. Thunder stomped madly away at the back of Kobe before cinching in the Ace Clutch again, causing Kobe to instantly tap out, screaming in pain, but this meant nothing due to it not being a match and Thunder didn’t release the hold until he was well and truly sure the damage had been done.

Match 5: Rhino Umaga vs. Angry Gilmore.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/RhinoUmaga.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AngryGilmore.jpg

Many fans were great anticipating this match up, as Rhino Umaga has been one of the biggest stars of the company since he joined in 2009, while Angry Gimore was an International Superstar in many people’s eyes, having achieved great success on both sides of the world. When the American came down to the ring though, he was not in the best of shape, with tape rapped around his ribs, most likely damaged from the powerbomb he took from Khoklov last week, while Rhino was in the best shape of his career. When the match started, Gilmore tried to rush in with a few stiff punches and elbows to the Samoan’s head, but due to the trademark hardness of their skulls, the shots had little effect, only serving to anger Umaga to the point where he threw Gilmore into the corner with great force and then unloaded with several punches and forearms of his own, dazing the American gaijin. Rhino then dragged Gilmore out and tried to send him overhead with a suplex, but the smaller man was able to turn it into an inverted leg drop bulldog, called the Superstar Sensation. He quickly went for the cover, hooking the tree trunk that was Rhino’s leg, but the Samoan kicked out just after the two count, drawing a gasp of awe from the crowd.

Gilmore tried to keep the control by applying a grounded hammerlock, but the big Rhino was able to power up to his knees and then throw Gilmore over his shoulder. Angry tried to scurry up to his feet, only to be floored with a clothesline from the big man. Rhino dragged the dazed American into the middle of the ring, and then leapt up into the air before connecting with a knee drop, getting amazing height for someone of his size. He tried to go for the cover himself, but Gilmore kicked out, though he quickly grabbed his back due to the pain he felt in doing so. Rhino noticed this and whipped Gilmore viciously into the corner, and upon impact Angry flipped right over the top to the outside below, where Miwa began to yell abuse at him. This prompted Gilmore, though still dazed, to try and attack the manager, but Rhino stopped him in his track with a double axe handle to the back before launching him back first into the barricade. Gilmore yelled out in pain and grabbed his back, but this just incited Rhino to continue, as he picked up the injured man and launched him similarly into the apron and then into the ring post as well, effectively destroying the poor man’s back.

Rhino rolled into the ring and then back out again to break the count, but before he could continue his assault, Gilmore surprised him with a stiff uppercut to the jaw and then went up to the top rope in one quick motion. He seemed ready to hit the Gilmore Sky High Elbow, but Umaga got up and clasped him by his shoulders before sending him flying across the entire ring and crashing to the mat in an amazing feat of strength. Rhino quickly followed up and nailed an elbow drop before kicking away savagely at the back of Gilmore, focusing mainly on his ribs to further any damage that was already there. Gilmore tried to roll out of the ring to recover, but Rhino grabbed him before he was able to do so and then pulled him back up to his feet, only to send him flying overhead with a belly to belly suplex. Umaga then locked him in the Samoan Crab, sitting down while cinching it in, again focusing on the bad back of Gilmore, but the gaijin was able to eventually fight his way over to the ropes and clasp one of them to force Rhino to release the hold. Umaga wasn’t done though, as he quickly pulled Gilmore up to his feet and then whipped him across the ring.

He tried to catch Gilmore with a spinebuster, but the veteran American turned it into a hurracanrana that sent the big man tumbling out of the ring. When he got back up, Gilmore climbed onto the top rope and then came flying off with an amazing corkscrew senton splash, colliding right with the chest of the Samoan and sending him back to the floor. Gilmore grabbed his back again though before rolling back into the ring to recover as much as possible. When Rhino came back in after him, Gilmore was able to catch him with a leg lariat that floored him before running up the turnbuckles and pulling off the ever beautiful Picture Perfect Moonsault. He collided right with the sternum of the Samoan, but it was not enough to put him away as Rhino kicked out just a split second before the three count. Gilmore then tried to stay in control by keeping Umaga down with an arm bar, but the big man rolled out of it and then got back up to standing, driving Gilmore back into the mat with a sit-out spinebuster when he got up as well.

Rhino pulled him back up to his feet and whipped him across the ring, but Gilmore countered mid-run with spinning leg lariat, knocking the big man down. Rhino tried to get up before Gilmore built any sort of momentum, but the American kneed him in the face and then connected with a standing moonsault to the back of the big man. Gilmore then followed up with a leg drop and a fist drop to the head of the Samoan, intent on keeping him down, but when he tried to pull Rhino up to his feet for the Anger Management, Rhino pushed him away. In fact, he pushed him with such force that Gilmore went all the way to the opposite ropes. When he bounced back, Rhino tried to catch Gilmore with the Rhino Charge, but the American flipped over the big man just in time. Gilmore taunted the Samoan to try again, and he tried to do the same when Umaga went for it, but the big man caught him mid-flip and turned it into a powerbomb, making Gilmore’s head bounce from the impact. Rhino then pulled a limp Gilmore up to his feet and whipped him across the ring before meeting him half way with the Rhino Charge, flipping him over upon connecting. The crowd gasped in shock, then booed as Rhino made the cover.

One…
Two…
Three!

Gilmore had put up a hell of a fight, but his injuries from last week proved to be his undoing, as Rhino picked his torso apart and then knocked him out.

Winner: Rhino Umaga by pinfall in 18:23 – A

Match 1: Silver Shark & Cyber Fighter 3000 vs. White Samurai & Bussho Makiguchi.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/CyberFighter3000.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg

A nice fast paced opener that basically serves as a preview to these four’s separate matches in two days time. The match started with Bussho and Silver Shark being the legal men, and they tore it up for the first few minutes, going hold for hold with each other until Shark was able to catch the youngster with a dropkick to the chest. Bussho tried to steal back the control with a running back elbow, but Shark ducked underneath and then nailed an enziguri to the back of the head before tagging out to Cyber. That was a bad decision on his part, as the champion Cyber began to breakdance in the middle of the ring, giving Bussho time to recover. When Cyber had finished, he tried to keep Bussho down with a running senton, but Bussho rolled over and put his knees up, causing Cyber to crash and burn. Bussho was then in control, firing away with several kicks and elbows to the upper back and head of his opponent until he tagged out half way through the match. Samurai pretty much continued from where Bussho left off, battering away at Cyber, but unlike Bussho he kept shooting glances over at Shark, as if sending a message to the champion each time he hit a move.

This left him easy prey for Cyber though, as the small man was eventually able to counter a suplex attempt into a DDT and then tagged out to his partner. Shark eagerly leapt into the ring and battered away at his rival with several punches to the back of the head and then kneeing him several times as well, as if getting revenge for the attack earlier this month. Samurai tried to cover up under this attack, but the veteran was too much for him, and came close to locking him in the Jaws of Life, but the youngster was able to scramble over to the ropes before tagging back in to Bussho. Shark smiled before tagging out to Cyber, who gingerly stepped back in. Bussho was instantly on top of the champion, flooring him with a clothesline and then connecting with a snap elbow drive right to the back of the head. Bussho dragged him back into the middle of the ring and slapped him in the Pride Stretch, a grounded bridging cobra clutch. Cyber desperately tried to fight the hold and get to the ropes, but he was unable to move at all. When Shark tried to enter to break it up, Samurai ran in and then dropkicked the veteran over the top before following up with a slingshot splash to the outside. Upon realising he had no other choice, Cyber tapped out, giving the challengers the all important victory two days before their title matches.

Winner: Samurai & Bussho by submission in 11:32 – B-

Instead of celebrating or releasing the hold, Bussho kept it cinched in, intending to make the champ pass out. When the referee tried to pry him off, Samurai threw the official out of the ring and then proceeded to attack Silver Shark on the outside, throwing him into the ring steps.

C

However, the attack didn’t go as planned, as the behemoth Marat Khoklov lumbered down to the ring and destroyed all four men, for absolutely no reason. Maybe he just feels like it.

Match 2: Angry Gilmore vs. Burning EXILE.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AngryGilmore.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BurningExile.jpg

Not the great match that I was really expecting here, as Exile was upset about being on the losing side, even though he is only a midcarder while Gilmore is in the main event. The match started out with some brief technical wrestling, but when it seemed like Gilmore was going to get the edge after locking in a leg lock, Exile scrambled over to the ropes and then poked the gaijin in the eye when he got up to his feet. This left Gilmore open to a flurry of kicks which was completed by a jumping enziguri, sending the gaijin down to the mat. Exile then tried to get in control by keeping the match on the mat, but Gilmore showed his skills again when he went hold for hold with his fellow veteran and then fought his way up to both feet. Exile tried to take him out with a clothesline, but Gilmore ducked under and then ran to the ropes, sending the freelancer to the outside with a leaping head scissors. Exile rolled across the floor before getting up to his feet, but he wasn’t able to ready himself in time for the diving cross body that soon hit him.

Gilmore seemed to have recovered fairly well after his loss a few days ago, but was still favouring his ribs, especially after hitting that cross body. He took his time getting back in the ring, but this gave Exile time to recover and catch up with him, as he caught the gaijin with a dropkick followed by a flip senton as soon as both were in the ring. Gilmore tried to take back the control of the match, but Exile didn’t let up at all, sending him flying overhead with a snap suplex and then going for the cover, only to get a two count. He then tried to lock in a bow and arrow lock, but Gilmore was able to claw his way over to the ropes before he locked it in properly, giving him a little time to get his breath back. The gaijin pulled himself up using the ropes, and when Exile tried to charge at him, Gilmore threw him overhead, sending him crashing back down to the floor below. Angry then used this time to get his breath back and nurse his ribs, waiting for Exile to re-enter the ring, and when he did, he was able to catch the veteran with the Superstar Sensation, getting the cover and the victory to get himself back on track.

Winners: Angry Gilmore by pinfall in 15:09 - B-

As soon as Gilmore is done heading up the ramp, we see a hype video highlighting Koshiro Ino.

Match 3: Koshiro Ino vs. Nariaki Hitomi.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KoshiroIno.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NariakiHitomi_alt.jpg

This was a fairly simple match to be perfectly honest, as it was an all-out brawl with neither man being really adept at anything else. When the bell rang, they charged in towards each other and began to exchange blows. Neither really gained any sort of advantage until Ino was able to connect with five consecutive punches before whipping Hitomi across the ring. Hitomi tried to counter when he came back with a clothesline, but Ino simply absorbed the shot and dared Hitomi again. And when the youngster did attempt it again, the face painted warrior just took it again before shaking the ring ropes and letting out a war like cry. Hitomi tried one more time, but was turned inside out when Ino countered with a clothesline of his own before pulling Hitomi up to his feet and driving him into the mat with a spinebuster. Ino began to play to the crowd again after this, but this only gave the youngster Hitomi time to recover, and he was able to get up to his feet and then club Ino from behind with an overhead chop right to the neck. Ino staggered forwards, allowing Hitomi to whip him across the ring, but the big man was able to counter when eh came back with a shoulder block, knocking Hitomi to the mat. Ino then signalled to the audience as he waited for Hitomi to get up, and when he did, Ino charged in before hitting one of the stiffest lariats around, called the Kobra’s Bite. Hitomi flopped to the mat before Ino covered him, getting the fairly easy victory.

Winner: Koshiro Ino by pinfall in 8:41 – C

Ino quickly grabs the microphone from ringside:

“The Kobra has been away for far too long, and now, he demands to be able to quench his thirst for competition, for victory. Everybody has better be careful, because the Kobra is back, and he just might bite you.”

Match 4: Dragon & Furusawa vs. The Avalanche Effect.
Non-Title

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg

This was set to be an amazing match, if the skills of each of the competitors were anything to go by, and it did just that. When the bell rang, Mabuchi and Koki were the legal men, and they provided the fans with something different from their usual style, a nice technical showdown, as these two provided a submission clinic in the ring, going hold for hold and showing off some holds that had rarely been seen before. However, when Mabuchi was just about to catch Koki in the Furusawa armbar, Koyama slingshotted himself into the ring and connected with a missile dropkick right to the side of Mabuchi’s head. The youngster was back up quickly, but fell prey to a few double teams by the champions, including a leg sweep/leg lariat combo that almost ended the match if Dragon hadn’t of broken it up in time. The champions then turned their attentions to the gaijin Dragon, but when they tried to catch him with a double clothesline after whipping him into the ropes, the British flier was able to somersault over them and then rebound with a double dropkick, sending Koyama rolling out of the ring. Dragon then returned to his corner while Mabuchi slowly recovered and got up to his feet.

The youngster instantly took control of the match again, locking Koki in a tight armbar, but the veteran was able to fight his way over to the ropes and place his foot on the bottom, forcing Mabuchi to release him. The bigger youngster tried to follow up with a clothesline to send Koki to the outside, but the champ ducked under the attempt and then connected with a dropkick to the back of Mabuchi, sending him tumbling over to the floor below. Mabuchi clambered out of the ring after him, prompting Koyama and Dragon to try and help, but it only resulted in four way brawl that neither team came out on top of. Eventually, Mabuchi rolled Koki back into the ring and order was restored. Mabuchi slapped the veteran in a cross arm breaker, but yet again the wily Koki was able to get to the ropes and break it up. Mabuchi pulled him up to his feet and whipped him across the ring, but when he tried to floor him with a running knee, Koki sidestepped him and then used the leg as leverage to throw him to the mat with a reverse dragon screw leg whip. Mabuchi yelled out in pain and tagged out to Dragon, who leapt over the top rope and squared off with his fellow veteran.

They began to technical master class yet again, but Koki was able to steal way control by wrenching out Dragon’s wrist. And just when it seemed like Dragon could possible regain momentum with a short range clothesline, Koki ducked underneath and countered it into a Wrist Clutch Rack Suplex, called the Ishibashi Effect. When he tried to go for the cover, Mabuchi broke it up, bringing Koyama in as well. Eventually this broke into another four way brawl, ending up going all the way to the back forcing the referee to count both teams out. Neither team had managed to gain the advantage in this preview match, which throws up the result in two days up into the air even more than before.

Winner: Draw in 10:19 – B

After a break, we return to see Magnum KOBE in the locker room, being interviewed by Seiho Kuroda.

“Kobe, first, congratulations on defeating Awesome Thunder last week.”

“Thanks. It really meant a lot to be able to beat such a legend in Awesome Thunder cleanly in that ring, without the need for cheating. I know I used to always use those tactics, but I now realise that I can win without them, and that it feels so much better when I get the victory, as I feel that I actually accomplished something, not stolen it.”

“Quite true, what are your thoughts on the match tonight?”

“Honestly? I’m kinda nervous, Angel is an amazing talent, and I like to think I am able to defeat him, but again he is one of those people who have become famous for using underhanded tactics to steal victories. So I’m going to be on full alert throughout.”

“A wise choice. Do you truly think you can win?”

“Of course, if I didn’t think that I might as well just lie down in the ring and let him pin me. And when I do come out with the victory, I’m going to take all my friends, including you and any fans that want to come along, out for a massive party to celebrate.”

Two ladies enter the room and sit either side of Kobe, resting on his shoulders.

“Although, these two lovely girls will have most of my attention, you gotta have as much fun as possible, right Seiho?”

Seiho nods as Kobe turns on a nearby radio. Some dance music blares out of the speakers and everybody begins to dance, even Seiho…if it could be called dancing as such.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MagnumKobe.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EmeraldAngel.jpg

Both these men are renowned for their amazing aerial skills, and that brought to the plate a sense of tension, as with Angel’s attitude it was sure to be a battle of who was the better flier, not only about who was going to get to the finals of the tournament. When the match started, the two youngsters locked up and began to test each others strength in attempts to gain control, but those attempts were fruitless as neither was able to gain any sort of advantage over the other, being matched in strength and size. Kobe was the first to show any signs of control when he was able to shove Angel to the mat, but when he rebounded after running to the ropes Angel leapt up and caught him with a hurracanrana out of nowhere, almost getting the victory except Kobe was able to kick out a split second before the referee hit the mat for a third time. Angel had control now, and he kicked Kobe in the side of the head and pulled him up to his feet. When he tried to go for a suplex however, Kobe was able to counter with a suplex attempt of his own, turning it into a sit-out face first suplex, planting Angel into the mat. Kobe took some time to think over a plan, but soon found himself on the wrong end of a basement dropkick right to the jaw. Angel then wowed the crowd with a standing 450 splash to the gut of Kobe, almost getting the victory once again, but Kobe was able to place his feet on the bottom rope after the two count. Angel tried to go for the cover after dragging Kobe into the middle of the ring, but he kicked out again, causing Angel to get very angry.

Emerald climbed on top of Kobe and began to pummel away with a series of stiff punches, but Kobe was able to throw him off and then caught him with an enziguri when he stood up before sending him flying overhead with a big back body drop after whipping him into the ropes. Kobe realised he needed to try and take away the aerial advantage of Angel, and began to target his legs, stomping away at his knees for several moments before locking him in an elevated surfboard, causing Angel to scream in pain. However, the youngster showed great resilience when he refused to tap out, eventually causing Kobe to release him in order to slap him in something else, but when Kobe tried to drag Angel to his feet, the former universal champ clocked Kobe in the jaw with an elbow shot and then took him to the mat with a head scissors. Kobe got up to his feet fairly soon after, but as unable to charge in due to being dazed. Angel then tried to connect with a dropkick to the knee, but Kobe leapt over him mid-move and then took Angel to the mat with a belly to back suplex and then locked him in a rear Chinlock. Kobe cinched it in tight, trying to make Angel tap, but the youngster refused and fought his way back up to standing, drawing large amounts of boos from the crowd. Kobe tried to bring him back down, but Angel elbowed him several times in the gut before running to the ropes. Kobe again tried to counter with a spinning leaping clothesline, but Angel dove underneath him and then caught him with a leg lariat when he got back up to his feet. Angel then kept control of the match with a grounded hammerlock on Kobe, occasionally driving his knee into the back of his fellow youngster to up the damage.

Kobe held on though, refusing to tap out. Angel began to get frustrated again and pulled him up to his feet, whipping him into the corner. Kobe countered though, whipping Angel into the corner instead. But when he tried to follow up, Angel countered him with the Angel Grace II, a beautiful Moonsault Press. The youngster eagerly hooked the leg, but Kobe kicked out just after the two count. Angel ran to the ropes, but when he back Kobe stayed on the mat, causing him to leap over his opponent and then rebound off the other ropes. Kobe leapfrogged him this time though, and when he rebounded again, Kobe backflipped into a head scissors that sent Angel tumbling across the ring. Kobe waited for him to get back up to his feet, but when he tried to follow up with a clothesline, Angel threw him overhead, sending him to the outside instead. Angel took a little time to regain his breath before bouncing off the opposite ropes and taking to the air with a running shooting star press to the outside, again clearing the top rope on the back flip. Kobe to the full brunt of the attack, stunning him long enough for Kobe to pull something out of his jeans and then clock Kobe across the jaw with it. He seemed to be out like a light when Angel rolled him back in, and was helpless against the Angel Fury when Angel leapt off of the top rope. Angel hooked the leg, and the referee counted.

One…
Two…
Three!

Angel leapt onto his feet and celebrated like he has just won the Universal title already, but when he jumped around an object fell out of his trunks, glinting in the light. The referee went over and picked it up, revealing a pair of brass knuckles. The official got right in the face of Kobe, demanding to know why they were in there, but Angel refused to answer. The ref then went to the outside and spoke to the ring announcer.

“Ladies and gentlemen, by request of the referee, the previous result has been revoked and the match will restart!”

The fans burst into cheers when this was said, while Angel clasped his head and protested loudly, screaming that the referee was out to get him. Kobe had recovered by now though, and caught Angel with the Magnum Rocket Drive out of nowhere. Kobe wasn’t done though, as he dragged a stunned Angel into the middle of the ring and cinched in the Magnum Deathlock, an Indian Deathlock. Angel tried to fight it, but screamed in pain and eventually tapped out, causing the audience to once again erupt into applause as Kobe had his arm raised.

Winner: Magnum KOBE by submission in 21:01 – A

Kobe couldn’t believe it when the referee told him he had won, and tears began to appear as he was finally going to get another shot at the Universal Title. He headed into the crowd to celebrate with them after that before heading to the back with his arms held high.

Here are the updated tournament brackets:

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Tourny%20brackets/TournamentBrackets4.jpg

We have now reached the anticipated finals of the World Level Universal title Tournament, and it has been one hell of a ride, with some amazing matches taking place. The title match has been placed at in the main event, and has been confirmed as Rhino Umaga vs. Magnum KOBE.

WLW: Do The Dance Of Shame

Americana vs. Antonio Maxi Marquez

Both of these men have been in limbo so to speak in recent times, and a pay per view is the best place to get back on track. Which will it be, the high flying sensation Americana, or the all round superstar Antonio Maxi Marquez?

Half Machine Half Amazing vs. The Samoan Wildboyz

Similar to above, neither of these two really have anything going for them as of late, and will be looking to get back into the swing of things tonight.

Cyber Fighter 3000© vs. Bussho Makiguchi
For the World Level Tap Out title

Both men have been on a tear as of late, but Bussho sent a clear message to the champion when he forced him to tap out to his new submission hold, the Pride Stretch. Will the champion be able to down the challenger, or will Bussho show that the win yesterday was no fluke and begin his quest of winning all the gold, as he so boldly stated at the beginning of the tour?

Silver Shark© vs. White Samurai
For the World Level Show Stealer title

Silver Shark thought that Samurai was out of his hair after he defeated a few weeks ago, but the youngster came back with a vicious assault on the champion a week later. Shark took offence to it and criticised Samurai for his hypocritical preaching of honour and a true open mind, challenging him to a match to settle their differences.

The Avalanche Effect© vs. Dragon & Furusawa
For the World Level Tag Team titles

These two have quite a history, being two of the leading teams of the division at the moment, facing off several times in the past. With the draw yesterday in another match between these teams, one can only guess what the result is going to be. Can Avalanche Effect hold onto their titles, cementing their place on top? Or will Dragon & Furusawa become four-time tag champions?

Angry Gilmore vs. Emerald Angel
#1 Contendership for the World Level Universal title.

These two men were the latest men eliminated from the tournament, and have therefore earned themselves a second chance, as they face off here to be the next people to challenge for the title. Which man will come out on top and stake their claim for one of wrestling’s greatest prizes yet again?

Rhino Umaga vs. Magnum KOBE
For the World Level Universal title.

This has to be one of the most anticipated bouts in quite a while. Not only is it for the Universal title, but both men have impressed us incredibly in their way here. Umaga has stampeded through various men, including Angry Gilmore and former Universal champion Eagle Kawasawa on his way here, while KOBE has upset veterans and former universal champions Awesome Thunder and Emerald Angel. Which man’s luck will run out here tonight? And who will become the new Universal champion, taking their seat on the top of the industry?

Prediction Key:

Americana vs. Antonio Maxi Marquez
Half Machine Half Amazing vs. The Samoan Wildboyz
Cyber Fighter 3000© vs. Bussho Makiguchi – World Level Tap Out
Panda Mask II vs. Nariaki Hitomi
Silver Shark© vs. White Samurai – World Level Show Stealer
Hell Monkey vs. Hidekazu
The Avalanche Effect© vs. Dragon & Furusawa – World Level Tag Team
Angry Gilmore vs. Emerald Angel
Rhino Umaga vs. Magnum KOBE – World Level Universal

Predictions are welcome, as are comments. Whoever gets the most predictions rights gets two free tickets to the next pay per view, a pass to the after party, AND a poster signed by their favourite superstar.

Last few shows were absolutely top notch, and I am feeling a bit smug about calling the finish of the Angel- KOBE match :D

Americana vs. Antonio Maxi Marquez

Difficult one to call, it all depends on how (NOT) Champagne Lover is intending to stick around for. As I can't really decide, I'll go with personal preference.

Half Machine Half Amazing vs. The Samoan Wildboyz

Half Machine, Half Amazing are an entertaining comedy duo but don't give me that 'champions' impression. The Wildboyz on the other hand could be built as a legitimate threat in the tag ranks.

Cyber Fighter 3000© vs. Bussho Makiguchi – World Level Tap Out

Bussho's a rising talent, whilst Cyber Fighter to me will never amount to anything much more than a mid-carder at best. I say give Bussho his first title (which is the lowest on the WLW Totem Pole) and have him run with it for a bit.

Panda Mask II vs. Nariaki Hitomi

With no preview spiel, this really is the filler match of the night.....as far as I'm aware both are pretty low down the pecking order right now. In that case as both aren't really getting a push, I'll go with the one with the size advantage.

Silver Shark© vs. White Samurai – World Level Show Stealer

For some reason, I just can't see Samurai winning the title, and I just see him as a filler challenger, because all the top quality people who could challenge for the belt are/were involved in the Universal Title Tournament. Shark retains, and moves onto a new challenge, probably from someone like The Incredible Koyama.

Hell Monkey vs. Hidekazu

Simply for the fact that I'm much more familiar with Hell Monkey

The Avalanche Effect© vs. Dragon & Furusawa – World Level Tag Team

Could literally go either way, as I've tipped the Tap Out Title to change hands, I'll tip the Avalanche Effect to retain. That even's things up with 2 retainals and 2 new champions being crowned

Angry Gilmore vs. Emerald Angel

Rhino Umaga vs. Magnum KOBE – World Level Universal

I'll comment on these two together, I think Rhino Umaga wins the title match, whilst Gilmore wins the contenders match. Thay sets up Umaga as a bad-ass monster heel for two top quality faces to chase.

Americana vs. Antonio Maxi Marquez
Like TigerKinney said, this could go either way. I simply went the opposite of his choice to give me the edge in this contest. :p

Half Machine Half Amazing vs. The Samoan Wildboyz
I would love to see this begin a big push for Eguchi, but I don't see it happening.

Cyber Fighter 3000© vs. Bussho Makiguchi – World Level Tap Out
I'll pick him every time, I swear.

Panda Mask II vs. Nariaki Hitomi
Hmm... terrible vs. awful? I'll take the former, sir.

Silver Shark© vs. White Samurai – World Level Show Stealer
Samurai has been in good form lately, and I see him taking the title here.

Hell Monkey vs. Hidekazu
Hell Monkey is a god in Japan, while Hidekazu is very much not.

The Avalanche Effect© vs. Dragon & Furusawa – World Level Tag Team
I don't know, I just see Avalanche Effect retaining the titles. Dragon & Furusawa are great and all, but I don't see them winning a fifth reign here.

Angry Gilmore vs. Emerald Angel
I think Angel uses similar dodgy tactics to the last match, but gets away with it this time.

Rhino Umaga vs. Magnum KOBE – World Level Universal
This match has the "Rudy" underdog element to it, as KOBE's tournament has been much harder fought than Umaga's. Whether or not that helps or hinders him is questionable, but I just feel like KOBE's momentum is through the roof at the moment.

Match 1: Americana vs. Antonio Maxi Marquez.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AmericanElemental.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/ChampagneLover.jpg

This was a good fast paced opener for the event, as it featured some of the best in the undercard. It started off with some quick standing switches that soon found their way to the mat, although neither was able to get any sort of advantage there either. Eventually Antonio was able to get control after catching Americana with a stiff elbow after whipping him into the ropes. He kept the match on the mat with a tight body scissors, occasionally locking in different arm or neck holds to add further pressure, but Americana was able to fight his way over to the ropes and force the Mexican to break the hold. After he got up to his feet, Antonio tried to take him over the top with a clothesline, but Americana was able to turn the tables and fling him over the top rope to the floor below. Antonio slowly got up to his feet, trying to ready himself, but Americana still connected with a handspring plancha, knocking the Mexican down again. When the match returned to the ring, with both men getting in at pretty much the same time, Americana was able to seize control of the match with a quick enziguri before running to the ropes. When he tried to connect with a head scissors however, Antonio caught him mid run with a leaping leg lariat, catching Americana right on the forehead. Antonio then looked to finish him off with the Marquez Stunner, a TKO, but Americana was able to fight out of it with a few stiff elbows right to the neck, before running to the ropes. Antonio chased after him, so Americana tried to catch him with a springboard clothesline, but Antonio caught him on his shoulders in mid-air before nailing the Marquez Stunner out of nowhere. He hooked the leg and got the victory in a good match.

Winner: Antonio Maxi Marquez by pinfall in 10:45 – B-

Match 2: Half Machine Half Amazing vs. The Samoan Wildboyz.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/YukiHorigoshi.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EguchiTheAmazing.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AkimaBrave.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KidToma.jpg

Not a great match by any standards, but it gave all four men time in the ring and also showcased our undercard again. When the bell rang, it was Yuki in against Toma, and the native Yuki was able to grab control almost right away with a few quick punches due to his superior power and size. However, when he whipped the smaller man across the ring for a clothesline, Toma caught him mid way through with a leaping Headbutt, almost flipping Yuki over from the impact. The bigger man staggered up to his feet almost right away, but was sent back to the mat with a belly to back suplex. Toma then tagged out to Akima, who leapt onto the top rope before coming flying off with an absolutely spectacular 450 headbutt, a move rarely ever seen before, and went for the cover, but Eguichi soon scrambled in to break it up. The mime then quickly set about creating the now semi-famous invisible wall, but when he began laughing, the Samoans simply exchanged glances before simultaneously punching him in the head and sending him out of the ring.

Yuki was up to his feet by now and managed to catch the gaijins with a double clothesline, but when he went for the Yuki Rush Lariat too early, he was caught with a German Suplex/Superkick combination before falling victim to the Long Range Headbutt from Toma. Akima then promptly pulled Yuki up to his feet and although ‘100% Machine’ tried to fight out with a few quick punches and elbows, he was silenced with a quick Headbutt and then finished with the Samoan Suplex, a delayed brainbuster, giving the PPV-debut win to the Samoan Wildboyz.

Winners: Samoan Wildboyz by pinfall in 5:37 - C-

After a break we return to see the camera walking calmly along the hallway, when suddenly Panda Mask II comes flying into view and collides with the wall, having been thrown clean through the door, splintering it upon impact. He is almost out cold when we hear:

“Khoklov rage, KHOKLOV SMASH”

The camera quickly pans to see Marat Khoklov chucking all manners of furniture around the room he is in before storming out and around the corner. Koji Kojima then walks into view, looks around, and sums it up perfectly: “Holy *beep*”.

B-

We then transfer to another area backstage, where Tap Out champ Cyber Fighter 3000 is being interviewed by a noticeably frustrated Seiho Kuroda.

“Now, Cyber, tonight you fa..”

“Beep.”

“..ce Bussho Makiguchi with your title on the line.”

“Affirmative.”

“Do you have any thoughts on your upcoming match?”

“Boooooop bap beep bop.”

“Oh for goodness sake…”

“Boppity beep bop.”

“Why did I take this job?”

“Bussho is nothing compared to the future. I am the evolution of this sport, I am the future, and I am the best champion this company will ever see.”

“So it’s going to be an easy match in your view?”

“Beep.”

Seiho throws him arms up in resignation, chucking the microphone up into the air as he does so, while Cyber slowly begins to dance before we cut to the ring.

C

Match 3: Cyber Fighter 3000© vs. Bussho Makiguchi.
For the World Level Tap Out title.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/CyberFighter3000.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg

Bussho seemed to have the advantage heading into this one, as he had made the champ tap out just a day prior to this event, but instead of an upset Cyber who would be an easy victory, he got a stiff challenge. As soon as the bell rang, Cyber charged towards Bussho and was able to take him off his feet with a clothesline before driving his elbow right into the sternum of his opponent. When he went for a second, Bussho rolled out of the way and then went for an elbow himself, but Cyber also rolled out of the way and took Bussho off his feet with a running shoulder block. Cyber then ran to the ropes and tried to connect with a flip senton, but Bussho shot to his feet after Cyber ran and then floored the champ with a stiff back elbow right to the jaw. Bussho then took the match to the mat and locked Cyber in a rear Chinlock, occasionally wrenching back on his head to add even more pressure, but the champ was eventually able to fight his way up to his feet. He elbowed Bussho a few times in the gut before trying to run to the ropes, but Bussho brought him down to the mat with a sleeper slam.

Bussho promptly went back to focusing on his head, driving his elbows right into the back of the champion’s skull before locking him in a grounded headlock, putting all of his weight into it. Cyber tried to fight his way out of it, but Bussho had too much pressure applied, preventing the champ from moving without being in pain. Eventually though he summoned as much energy as possible before rolling it over and then pushing Bussho up in order to get up himself. Bussho ran to the ropes, aiming to nail the Blazing Elbow, but Cyber ducked and then booted him in the gut before nailing the Cyber Hack out of nowhere. The champ quickly locked his challenger in a sharpshooter, called the De-Evolution Clutch, but Bussho was too close to the ropes and was able to wrap his arms around to force Cyber to release the hold. Cyber slowly walked backwards, waiting for Bussho to get up, and then ran to the ropes when he was up. The champ was aiming to go for a clothesline, but Bussho caught him mid-ring with the Blazing Elbow, knocking him out cold, and then cinched in the Pride Stretch, causing Cyber to pass out after a minute or so.

Winner: Bussho Makiguchi by submission in 11:45 – B

When he is handed the title, Bussho proudly hoists it up aloft. But instead of cheers he is met with a huge amount of boos, including a man with amazing sideburns yelling abuse at him. Bussho just laughed and flicked the middle fingers to the audience before heading to the back.

C

Match 4: Panda Mask II vs. Nariaki Hitomi

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/PandaMask.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NariakiHitomi_alt.jpg

Panda Mask was in no shape to compete at all here tonight given the horrific assault we saw earlier, but he still came down to the ring for his match. When Hitomi clambered over the ropes into the ring he took one look at his opponent before laughing and pushing him down to the mat. Panda got back up to his feet and tried to take Hitomi off his feet with a clothesline, but Hitomi just shook it off before whipping the poor youngster into the ropes, and when he came back Hitomi threw him outside with an elevated scoop slam throw. Panda landed badly on his back, and didn’t move for a while, prompting Hitomi to head outside and then roll him back in. The smaller man slowly got up to his feet, using the ropes to help him, but Hitomi gave him little time to relax as he dragged Panda into the middle of the ring, booted him in the gut, and then drove him into the mat with the Hitomi Crush-Plex, a falcon arrow, and got the cover.

Winner: Nariaki Hitomi by pinfall in 4:40 – C-

We then see a quick hype video for the next match, Silver Shark vs. White Samurai for the show stealer title.

Match 5: Silver Shark© vs. White Samurai
For the World Level Show Stealer title..

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg

Silver Shark seemed noticeably angrier than usual, as the second the bell rang, he charged at Samurai and took him off his feet with a back elbow before locking him in a body scissors. Samurai was able to escape the hold pretty easily, but the second he got up to his feet Shark send him right back down with a leaping enziguri before heading up to the top rope. Shark signalled and then came flying off with a diving leg drop, connecting right with the throat of Samurai, before going for the cover. Samurai kicked out after the two, but Shark remained in control, pulling him up to his feet and then whipping him into the corner. However, when the champ tried to follow up with a corner clothesline, Samurai leapt over him and then sent him backwards into the mat with a release German Suplex, dumping the champ right on his head. Samurai then stole control away from Shark by locking him in a tight leg lock, preventing the champ from moving. This eventually lead to the two going hold for hold with each other before both were on their feet. A brief moment passed with the two men staring each other down before both ran to the ropes. Samurai tried to connect with a kitchen sink knee, but Shark somersaulted over him and then caught him with a quick snap suplex out of nowhere.

Shark then locked him in a single leg Boston crab, but when he tried to really cinch it in, Samurai quickly scrambled over to the ropes to force him to break the hold. When Shark tried to pull Samurai back up to his feet, the youngster was able to stun the veteran with a quick uppercut before driving him into the mat with a neckbreaker. Samurai was able to remain in control for a little while before heading up top for the Art of War. However, just as he was balancing himself, Shark followed him up and tried to bring him down with a superplex. The two battled it out before Samurai was able to keep his place on the rope and instead sent the champ back down to the mat by shoving him off. When Samurai leapt off to connect with the move, Shark put his feet up, causing the youngster to crash and burn. Samurai leapt to his feet clutching his gut and yelling in pain, but he was silenced when Shark was able to catch him with the Deep Sea Snap when he turned around. Shark fell on top for the cover, and got the victory in a fairly hard fought match.

Winner: Silver Shark by pinfall in 14:22 – B

After a quick break we see a hype video for the tag title match between Dragon & Furusawa and champions The Avalanche Effect.

Match 6: Hell Monkey vs. Hidekazu

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HellMonkey.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Hidekazu.jpg

This was really nothing more than a glorified squash really, but it was a really good one, as the veteran Hidekazu showed some great skills and proved why he was one of the hottest talents around during his prime. Sadly, Monkey is still in his prime and is simply amazing, and as soon as the bell rang he had the veteran on the back foot, taking him out with a quick roundhouse kick. Hidekazu was up to his feet quite quickly, showing little effect from the kick and the two exchanged blows until the veteran was able to daze Monkey with a punch and then ran to the ropes. When he came back though, Monkey caught him with a rolling wheel kick, catching him across the face. Hidekazu staggered to his feet, clearly dazed, but Monkey didn’t mind, as he booted the veteran in the gut before sending him into the corner. Monkey followed up with a strong back elbow, causing Hidekazu to slump down to the bottom turnbuckles. The gaijin then promptly followed up by smashing his foot across the face of the veteran several times before running to the ropes and connecting with a running kick across the jaw. He then pulled a dazed Hidekazu up to his feet, dragged him into the center of the ring and booted him in the gut. Monkey then nailed a hesitation kick right to the back of the head before nailing the Hell Fire Kick, knocking the veteran Hidekazu out cold for the cover and the victory.

Winner: Hell Monkey by pinfall in 7:02 – B

After a quick commercial break highlighting the merchandise available at our site, we got backstage to see Angry Gilmore in his locker room. He is slowly wrapping tape around his wrists, a look of complete seriousness on his face. It is a little while before he talks, but when he does it is in a fairly low and monotonous tone.

“Tonight is all about one thing for me, and that is getting another title shot for the belt that would mean the world to me if I were to wear it around my waist.”

He stands up and quickly jabs a couple of times into the air before resting against the wall with one hand and looking down at the floor.

“I was cheated out of my title shot here tonight, when the Russian ‘Monster’, Marat Khoklov, decided to take his frustrations out on me, nearly breaking my back in the process. And as such, I was not at my best for a very brutal match with Rhino Umaga. Because of that, it is now that Samoan who is getting the title shot tonight, not me.”

He wipes his free hand over his face before resting with his back on the wall, looking directly at the camera.

“Let me just say this, Rhino Umaga, your days are numbered in this company. You took advantage of an injured man in order to further your own ends. Normally, I should be respectful and say the better man won, and that I shouldn’t have gone out there due to my injury…but then I wouldn’t be where I am today. I go out there each and every night doing my best, making sure everybody in the arena is happy. So whoever wins that match tonight, consider me your next contender, regardless of whether or not I come out the victor in my match. And if it is you Rhino, you will wish you never met me, as I will make your life a living hell.”

He takes a few more jabs at the air, breathes out heavily and then walks out of the room. The camera pans back into the room and zooms in on a picture of Rhino Umaga with about four or five darts stuck in his face.

Match 7: The Avalanche Effect© vs. Dragon & Furusawa
For the World Level Tag Team titles.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg

These two teams again showed why they are our two premier teams when they produced another great match. After the draw during their previous face off, both had a lot to prove, as this match was not only for the tag titles but for the distinction of being the undisputed top team in WLW right now. Both were veteran/youngster combinations, but they worked as if the young were decade long veterans, as there were various slick double teams throughout the match. At the start of the match, the legal men were Koki and Mabuchi, and once again these two engaged in a truly great technical showdown, going hold for hold with each other until the bigger Mabuchi was able to throw the veteran across the ring with a belly to belly and then tag out to Dragon. Dragon leapt onto the top rope, and when Koki got up to his feet tried to catch him with diving cross body, but Koki rolled it through and then drove the gaijin into the mat with a powerslam. Koki then tried to take the advantage with knee lock, but Dragon was able to roll him over and then kicked Koki in the face. The gaijin used this time while Koki was dazed to get up to his feet and then try to floor him with a clothesline. However, Koki was able to duck under it in time and then take Dragon off his feet with a quick leg sweep.

Koki then pulled Dragon up to his feet before slapping him into an inverted sleeper. The veteran occasionally wrenched back further to add to the pressure, but he did that one too many times, as Dragon used this pull to flip himself over the head of Koki and then nail the Dragon Drop right in the middle of the ring. He made the cover, but Koyama flew in and clocked the veteran Englishman across the side of the head with a double axe handle. Mabuchi then clambered into the ring and began to exchange blows with Koyama until both were on the outside. Dragon tried to keep control on Koki, but Koki was able to outwit his fellow veteran and pulled him down to the mat with an armbar takedown before locking him in a wrist lock, intent on keeping the match on the mat. Dragon struggled initially, but was eventually able to flip out of the hold and he then clocked Koki across the face with a jumping enziguri, before climbing onto the top rope. Dragon tried to come flying off with a diving senton, but Koki rolled out of the way just in time. Koki then pulled the veteran gaijin up to his feet and tried to nail the Ishibashi Effect, but Mabuchi came out of nowhere and clubbed him in the back with a Mongolian chop. Koki staggered forward, leaving him open for a double team, the Gap Crusher, where Mabuchi hoisted him into the air in a military press slam, and then Dragon connected with a mule kick to the back of the head.

Koki seemed to be out of it from that, but he kicked out just in time, and then made the hot tag to Koyama after catching Dragon and Furusawa with a double dropkick. Koyama leapt onto the top rope and came flying off with a double clothesline, before running to the ropes and then connecting with a springboard moonsault to Dragon and going for the cover. Dragon kicked out just before the three count, and Koyama promptly pulled him back up to his feet before whipping him across the ring. Koyama ran the opposite way, and then met Dragon in the middle of the ring with a tilt-a-whirl head scissors, sending the veteran tumbling out of the ring. Koyama then followed up with a leaping corkscrew splash to Dragon when he tried to get up, taking both men down for a little while. Koki jumped off the apron and ran round to try and double team on Dragon, but what he didn’t realise was Mabuchi in the ring, hopping up and down in place. The fans started out at a low pitch and then raised it as Mabuchi ran across the ring, bounced off the ropes and then went flying over the top rope with a no handed plancha, causing the crowd to cheer in awe, as Mabuchi was a very heavy man. Eventually the action returned to the ring, with Koyama in control of Dragon, but when he tried to go for the Incredible Death Spike, a destroyer piledriver, Dragon threw him over head with a back body drop and then tagged out to Mabuchi. Furusawa ran towards Koyama, and pulled him up to his feet before putting him in position for a wheelbarrow facebuster. Koki tried to intervene, but Dragon caught him with a head scissors and then ran over to Mabuchi to complete the Fire Driver Mk. II, a variation of the original, with a double knee facebuster from Dragon instead of a cutter. Mabuchi rolled Koyama over for the cover while Dragon took care of Koki, knocking his fellow veteran to the outside. The fans counted along as the referee made the count.

One…
Two…
Three!

Dragon & Furusawa are 4-time Tag team champions!

Winner: Dragon & Furusawa by pinfall in 15:17 – B+

Dragon & Furusawa then held their belts proudly aloft to the loud cheers of the audience, with Mabuchi nearly crying out of happiness to have one yet another title.

B-

We then quickly see a hype video for the Gilmore vs. Angel match that is up next!

B+

Match 8: Angry Gilmore vs. Emerald Angel.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AngryGilmore.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EmeraldAngel.jpg

Both of these men are incredibly talented, and both nearly stole the show if it were not for the main event. The match started out with both men on fairly even footing, as neither was able to gain any sort of momentum in the early going, but this changed when Angel got a little too overconfident and tried to nail a handspring head scissors, but instead found himself on the wrong end of a wheelbarrow suplex, with Gilmore dumping him right on his head. Angel rolled around clasping his skull in pain, but Gilmore just pulled him right back up to his feet and then sent him overhead again with a normal suplex before going for the cover. Angel kicked out just in time and when Gilmore ran to the ropes to catch Angel with a shining wizard, Angel kipped up and then caught the gaijin with a hurracanrana that sent him to the outside. Gilmore managed to get back up to his feet, but Angel caught him with the running shooting star press to the outside, keeping both men down for a while before they rolled in at around six or seven.

Gilmore immediately tried to get back in control, but when he tried to go for a neckbreaker Angel countered it with a stiff kick to the gut and then caught Gilmore with a dropsault to the side of the head. Gilmore dropped to the mat, and was defenceless against the standing 450 from Angel, who went for the cover upon impact, only to have Gilmore kick out a split second after two. He pulled the gaijin up to his feet, but when he tried to whip Gilmore into the corner, he was whipped in there himself instead, and he hit the turnbuckles incredibly stiffly. Gilmore managed to follow up with a running leg lariat, taking him onto the apron, and when Angel staggered out of the corner Gilmore sling shotted himself back in for a missile dropkick, connecting right with the jaw of Angel. Gilmore then took the match to the mat, trying to take away the aerial advantage of Angel by focusing on his knees, including locking him in a rather loose Texas Cloverleaf. However, when it seemed like Angel was going to get to the ropes, instead of trying to cinch it in more, Gilmore transitioned it into a sharpshooter, but pushed Angel’s legs down to around his knee, before driving that same knee into the mat several times, causing Angel to scream in pain.

Gilmore dragged the youngster back into the middle of the ring and pulled him up to his feet before sending him crashing back down with a knee breaker, causing Angel to yell out in pain once again. The gaijin then slowed the match down a little bit with a grounded headlock, keeping Angel down on the mat, but the youngster proved more resilient than Gilmore though, as he used his good leg to claw his way over to the ropes and then placed his foot on the bottom rope, forcing Gilmore to release him. The gaijin got a little frustrated and pulled Angel to his feet, but got clubbed in the jaw with a stiff forearm smash before Angel ran to the ropes, albeit noticeably slower than usual due to his bad knee. However, when Angel tried to connect with a clothesline, Gilmore leapfrogged him and then caught him with a stiff thrust kick right to the chest when he returned, causing the youngster to flip over backwards and gasp for air due to the impact. Gilmore then tried to lock him in a camel clutch, but despite all the punishment he was taking, Angel still fought through and got over to the ropes before the gaijin could properly lock the hold in.

Angel used the ropes to slowly pull himself up, and when Gilmore came charging towards him, he summoned as much energy as he could and pulled off the Angel Grace II, a moonsault press, but this time using the ropes to springboard into the move. He hooked the leg almost immediately, but Gilmore kicked out just before the referee got to two. Angel took some time to recover, but this was just what Gilmore needed, as he took a few moments himself before catching the young sensation with a basement dropkick, and then forced him to sit up again. The gaijin then ran to the ropes and connected with a stiff running football kick right to the base of the spine, causing Angel to yell in pain and roll out of the ring. Gilmore then took some time to recover again while waiting for Angel to get back in the ring, but when he saw Angel trying to sneak up the ramp, he ran towards Angel and flew in between the ropes and connected with a diving plancha right to the sternum, sending Angel tumbling down the ramp again.

Gilmore then remained in solid control for the final minutes of the match, but when he tried to nail the Anger Management, Angel elbowed him several times in the side of the head and then caught him with the Angel Spike, leaving both men down. Angel was the first man up, still limping however, and when he tried to nail a corkscrew senton from the second rope Gilmore was ready for him, putting his knees up. Angel grabbed his gut and tried to follow up with a head scissors, but Gilmore clotheslined him and then leapt up onto the top rope before busting out the ever beautiful Picture Perfect Moonsault. Angel had moved however, causing Gilmore to crash and burn as well. The youngster then tried to drag the dazed veteran to his feet, but Gilmore fought him off with a few forearm shots before running to the ropes. When he tried to follow up with a back elbow, Angel caught him with a thumb to the eye. Gilmore yelled in pain for a few seconds before looking at Angel and wagging his finger at the stunned youngster. Angel ran to the ropes, locking for a step up head scissors, but Angry booted him in the gut and planted him with a particularly vicious Anger Management, before rolling him over and getting the victory to become the #1 Contender.

Winner: Angry Gilmore by pinfall in 19:26 – A

We then see the final hype video of the night, promoting the main event. It highlights the respective tournament paths of both Umaga and Kobe, and then shows what tonight’s match is for, the World Level Universal title.

A

Match 8: Rhino Umaga vs. Magnum KOBE.
For the World Level Universal title.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/RhinoUmaga.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MagnumKobe.jpg

This was easily one of the most anticipated matches in recent months for both our company and Japan as a whole. Rhino had steamrolled through his opponents with apparent ease, while Kobe has had a relatively harder time, but has beaten out veterans and star players like Awesome Thunder and Emerald Angel. When the match started, Umaga got the control almost right away, pummelling the smaller Kobe with a series of vicious punches, and then whipped him across the ring. Kobe tried to counter with a running shoulder block, but Rhino just shook it off and then floored Kobe with a short-arm clothesline, before connecting with a leaping knee drop. Rhino then dragged Kobe up to his feet before whipping him across the ring, but this time he got caught with a springboard missile dropkick that took him off his feet. Kobe tried to keep him down on the ground with a grounded headlock, but the big Samoan was able to power out of it and got up to his feet before driving Kobe into the mat with a gutwrench suplex. Umaga pulled Kobe back up to his feet before whipping him into the corner, but when he tried to follow up with a splash Kobe rolled out of the way and then dropkicked Umaga into the turnbuckles. The big man staggered backwards out of the corner, and Kobe tried to send him flying with a release German Suplex, but he was too big for Kobe to lift, and Rhino easily broke his hold and clubbed Kobe across the face with a stiff punch that sent him down to one knee.

Rhino then ran to the ropes, trying to take Kobe out with a clothesline, but Kobe leapfrogged him, and then again when he returned. When Rhino bounced off of the ropes again, Kobe ran the other way and then connected with a running dropkick right to the jaw of the big man, stunning him. He then followed up with a leaping head scissors, sending Rhino rolling out of the ring to the outside. Kobe took a moment to regain his breath before rebounding off the ropes and connecting with a moonsault to the outside after leaping onto the top rope. Rhino went down, sliding into the barricade and grabbed his head, having hit it on the top. When Kobe tried to pull the big man to his feet to take him back into the ring, Rhino turned the tables on him and brought him into the barricade as well. Umaga then slowly got up to his feet before pulling a dazed Kobe up as well. He then whipped the smaller man into the ring before following in after. Kobe slowly got up to his feet, but Rhino quickly closed the gap and sent Kobe overhead with a release belly to belly. Umaga went for the cover, but Kobe kicked out. Umaga got a little angry and climbed on top of the youngster and began to pummel away with a series of stiff punches, but the referee pulled him off before disqualifying him. Rhino tried to get back on top, but Kobe kipped up to his feet and then caught Rhino with a lightning quick enziguri out of nowhere, with the impact resounding throughout the arena. Rhino’s eyes looked as if he had just been hit by a freight train before he fell face first to the mat.

Kobe took a few moments to recover before focusing on the legs of the big man, driving his knee into the knees of the big man and locking him in a variety of painful knee and leg locks, but nothing seemed to be working, as Rhino refused to give up, no matter what hold he was placed in. Kobe then tried to lock him in an bridged face lock, but Rhino rolled over after an initial struggle, squashing Kobe underneath him. The gaijin took a few moments before pulling Kobe up to his feet and then nailing a few stiff chops that sent Kobe staggering backwards into the corner. Umaga then followed up with a few shoulder thrusts right into the gut of Kobe, sending the smaller man to the bottom turnbuckle. The big man then took a few steps back before charging in with a running knee right to the jaw. When Kobe slumped out of the corner, Rhino went up top for the first time in a while. Just as he was gaining his balance, Kobe got up to his feet and connect with a super rana out of nowhere, leaping the entire distance up in one vertical leap, without needing to climb the ropes. Rhino tumbled off of the top rope, hitting the mat hard. Kobe quickly followed up with a leg drop and then a flip senton to the big man, trying to keep him down as long as possible. He looked like he was going to go for the Magnum Deathlock, but suddenly changed his mind. Mr. Miwa was absolutely livid at ringside, yelling for his client to get up to his feet while Kobe went up to the top himself. He signalled to the crowd, who cheered amazingly loudly, before coming flying off with a Corkscrew Shooting Star Press, connecting right with the gut of Rhino. He hooked the leg, and the crowd counted along with the referee.

One…
Two…
No!

The crowd went silent in awe, and the look on Kobe’s face was one of utter disbelief. Rhino had kicked out after only two from one of the biggest moves in Kobe’s arsenal. Kobe pulled the big man up to his feet, and tried to hoist him up for the Magnum Rocket Drive, but even with Kobe putting all of his strength into it, Rhino was just too heavy, and the big man dropped down behind Kobe. The big man clubbed him in the back, causing him to stagger forward, but when Rhino tried to go for a backdrop suplex, Kobe backflipped out of the move and then connected with a dropsault. The smaller man rushed to the ropes, trying to gain some momentum, but Rhino met him mid-way with the Rhino Charge, almost snapping him in half. Kobe’s eyes glazed over as Rhino draped his arm across the youngster’s chest. The crowd was nearly silent in amazement from the last move, but a fair few were counting along with the referee.

One…
Two…
Three!

Winner: Rhino Umaga by pinfall in 21:51 – A

Mr. Miwa leapt up and down almost hysterically when the referee hit the mat a third time, and the crowd who weren’t counting before exploded into boos. The referee checked on the fallen Kobe before the timekeeper handed him the belt. Miwa snatched the title away and placed it on Rhino’s shoulder before proudly celebrating with his client.

Cheers for the predictions guys, and it looks like Tigerkinney is the winner in terms of predictions. Get out of my head sir! :p. Sorry the last post wasn't up sooner, I've was hit with four A2 projects this last week, and that has taken up my after school time.

WorldLevelWrestling.jp

News

Young Kenyan star, Lassana Makutsi, has signed a written deal with WLW, and will make his debut this week.

OOC: Lassana has become amazingly talented since 2008, averaging a B in pretty much every skill, except Stamina, athleticism and power, which are A’s and a B+ respectively.

WLW also congratulate prediction contest winner Tigerkinney on correctly predicting almost all of Do the Dance of Shame. For his prize, he wins tickets to the after party which will take part this Tuesday, tickets to Pork: It’s What’s for Dinner in February, and a poster signed by his favourite star. All he needs to do is tell us who his favourite star is!

Card

This week we experience the fall out of the successful Do the Dance of Shame. The kick off the first show this week, we have Nariaki Hitomi taking on Eguichi The Amazing while The Tic takes on the re-debuting Bulldozer Brandon Smith. Which of these men will get on track and begin to rise up the card? Can BBS upset the popular Tic on his first match of the tour?

We then have a semi-revenge match as the leader of Circle of Blood, the returning Dark EAGLE, takes on new tag champ UK Dragon in singles action. A win here could catapult CoB right back into contention, while Dragon will be looking for a victory to further solidify his teams claim as the best in the company.

We then have the first Streetfighting title match of the year, as Koyama puts the belt on the line against veteran Takeshi Umehara. Can the veteran get back on the winning track in the best way possible, beating one of the fastest rising stars in Japan today? Or will he simply be added as another man on the defeated list?

And to finish off that show we have The Great Hisato vs. Haru Kurofuji. Neither of these cornerstones of WLW faired very well in the tournament, and will be looking to get back in the race here. Who will come out the winner in what is sure to be an amazing match?

Then on the second card this week, we have Lassana Makutsi making his debut against Show Stealer champion in non-title action. Can he make a major impact in his first match, or will Shark force him to pay his dues first?

KOKI Ishibashi looks to do the same as his leader Dark EAGLE on this card when he takes on familiar rival Mabuchi Furusawa. Who will come out on top?

We then have Bulldozer Brandon Smith making another appearance, this time against Koyama in a non-title contest. Will he pick up an upset win here, or will Koyama end the gaijin’s dreams right away?

Angry Gilmore then takes on the debuting Dark Angel in what is set to be a fantastic match. Gilmore was noticeably more serious than usual before his match at DtDoS, will it be the same in this match, and if so, does Dark Angel know what is coming to him?

And in the main event, we have Koshiro Ino taking on Awesome Thunder. Ino made an impressive re-debut against Nariaki Hitomi last week, can he continue this momentum against one of the top stars this company has? Or will Thunder get back on track with a big win over the face painted warrior?

Nariaki Hitomi vs. Eguichi The Amazing

Just for the fact that Eguichi has been pretty entertaining in his role, whilst Hitomi will always be nothing more than a bland lower-carder, unless you come up with an equally cool gimmick for him

Singles
The Tic vs. Bulldozer Brandon Smith

Unless Tic has really made his way up the card by 2011, I think it'll be an opportunity to build a bit of momentum for BBS.

Singles
UK Dragon vs. Dark EAGLE

Circle of Blood are soooo 2007, and EAGLE must really be getting on a bit now, plus it keeps one of your newly crowned tag champs strong.

Match 1: Nariaki Hitomi vs. Eguichi The Amazing.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NariakiHitomi_alt.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EguchiTheAmazing.jpg

This was a fairly entertaining little opener, but was nothing special compared to other openers we have had recently. When the bell rang, Hitomi used his power advantage to club Eguichi across the face and then whip him across the ring for a spinebuster, driving Eguichi into the mat with devastating force. He stayed in control for a fair little while, only losing it when he went for the Hitomi Crush-Plex, as Eguichi was able to wriggle out of it and then catch the big man with a dropkick to the back. The mime then seemed to create a sword and thrust it at Hitomi, who caught it between his hands effortlessly, causing the smaller man to stagger backwards in awe. The big man promptly threw it away before flooring Eguichi with a clothesline, and then dragged him back up to his feet for the Hitomi Crush-Plex, the mat shaking from the impact, getting the fairly easy victory.

Winner: Nariaki Hitomi by pinfall in 4:58 – C-

After he stopped celebrating, Hitomi grabbed a microphone from ringside and climbed back into the ring.

“Now now now ladies, keep yourselves calm, you’re on television. All of that can wait until after the show, we’ll all get together and go for ride in my limo.”

The camera pans the audience to reveal that there are no actual madly hyper ladies at all.

“If you can stop staring at these perfect abs for a few seconds, I’d like you to listen. For a few months now, a man, who believes that he is some sort of leader of this underwater-ish place, has held the title that undoubtedly belongs around this gorgeous waist. This fool is Silver Shark, the ‘Show Stealer’ champion. Now….let’s be honest, which of us two gets more attention from the crowd? A gorgeous physical specimen like myself, or some 40-something year old man who has the mind of a 4 year old? You don’t have to answer, because of course it’s me. So, Sharky boy, I challenge you to for that title of yours at Pork: It’s What’s for Dinner in a few weeks time, then the fans will finally be represented by somebody who they actually want to see.”

C+

Match 2: The Tic vs. Bulldozer Brandon Smith.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheTic.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BulldozerBrandonSmith.jpg

An impressive debut for the young Brandon, as he showed the skills that have made him a rising star on both sides of the globe. When the bell rang, he tried to use his strength in much the same way as Hitomi earlier, but Tic was far too quick for him, being able to duck a clothesline and then dive between his legs when he went for a shoulder block. However, when the Tic tried to go for a cross body, Brandon caught him and then flung him overhead with a fallaway slam. The Tic hit the mat hard and grabbed his back, but he got barely anytime to breath as Brandon dragged him into the middle of the ring, and like a bear when it smells blood, he targeted Tic’s back, driving his knee into it several times before lifting him up into an elevated surfboard. The smaller man struggled to hold on, but eventually Brandon got bored and released him, waiting for the more experienced man to get back up to his feet.

This was a mistake however, as the second the Tic was up, he charged towards Brandon and caught him with a spinning head scissors, sending him across the ring. The Tic remained in control for a little while, but towards the end of the match Brandon had stolen it back. However, the gaijin got a little bit c0cky, as he tried to go for the Backdrop Driver a bit too hastily, allowing the Tic to easily backflip out of it. The smaller man quickly ran to the ropes, and noticed that Brandon was chasing after him. The former footballer was aiming to catch the Tic and drive him into the mat with a powerslam, but the Tic surprised him with a springboard Tic Leap, a double knee press to the shoulders. This stunned the big man long enough for the more popular Tic to pick up the win, but Brandon had impressed, as this match was very solid.

Winners: The Tic by pinfall in 10:52 - B

We then see a quick video hyping up UK Dragon, including his big wins over the last couple of years. Clips included were his Junior title win back in June 2010, pinning Sensational Dragon, a title he still holds at the moment, and his recent tag title win alongside Mabuchi Furusawa.

C+

Match 3: UK Dragon vs. Dark EAGLE.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DarkEagle.jpg

Both of these two are true veterans of the game, and it showed as they went pretty much hold for hold and move for move for a majority of the match, with the control only falling into somebody’s hands near the end. Dragon seemed ready to put Eagle away with the Dragon Drop in the final minutes, having stunned his fellow veteran with a dropkick to the back, but Eagle was able to break out of the face lock and then take the gaijin to the mat with a spinning neckbreaker, driving Dragon’s head right into the mat. Eagle then focused on that region of Dragon’s body, locking him in several necklocks and head locks, but it didn’t seem to affect the gaijin, as he managed to fight his way over to the ropes during a grounded head lock, and used the ropes to pull himself back up to his feet. Eagle tried to take him to the outside with a clothesline, but Dragon ducked under his feet and threw the veteran over head to the floor below.

Eagle got up to his feet slowly, favouring his back, as he hit the apron on the way down, but when he tried to get back in the ring, Dragon kicked him right in the face with a baseball slide before engaging in a brawl with the veteran native. Neither man really gained any advantage until Eagle was able to duck a punch and then drop Dragon across the top of the barricade with an inverted suplex following a kick to the back. Dragon yelled out in pain, and struggled back into the ring, while Eagle got in a lot easier, but he was still favouring his back. Eagle pulled the veteran gaijin up to his feet and whipped him into the corner, and tried to follow up with a back elbow, but Dragon backflipped over him, and then caught him with a poison rana, spiking him right on his head. This stunned the local veteran enough for Dragon to pull him up to his feet and quickly hit the Dragon Drop for the pinfall victory.

Winner: UK Dragon by pinfall in 13:07 – B

UK Dragon then quickly celebrates the victory before high tailing it out of the ring when the other Circle of Blood members run to the ring to attack him.

We then see a quick hype video for the Streetfighting title match next.

Match 4: The Incredible KOYAMA© vs. Takeshi Umehara
Hardcore match for the World Level Streetfighting Title.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TakesiUmehara.jpg

This was set to be a brutal contest, and it delivered just that to the expecting audience. Each man wheeled down a trolley filled with weapons down to the ring, with Koyama brandishing his trademark wooden staff on his shoulders, along with a smattering of other weapons. When the bell rang, the youngster managed to trip up the veteran Takeshi with a drop toehold, then stomped away madly at the back of his head. The veteran tried to block the following barrage of punches, but several shots got through, rendering him defenceless. Koyama then rolled out to the outside and whipped out the first weapon, a guitar, before rolling back in. Takeshi staggered around once he was back on his feet, but when Koyama went to swing the guitar, the veteran was able to duck it and then catch the youngster with a dropkick. Koyama dropped the weapon, and as he went to pick it back up, Takeshi connected with a running knee to the face, stunning Koyama and making him fall onto the guitar. The veteran then ran to the corner, climbed up top, and came flying off with a diving leg drop to the back of the youngster’s head, breaking the guitar when he did so.

The veteran was solidly in control, and he pulled Koyama up to his feet before attempting a suplex, but when he lifted the youngster up over his head, Koyama landed on his feet and then brought the veteran crashing down with a neckbreaker. This left both men down for a while, as Koyama was still recovering from having his face sprayed with guitar splinters. When they eventually got up to their feet, Takeshi tried to go for a punch, but Koyama ducked underneath it and then planted the veteran with a back suplex. He then rolled back out of the ring, chucking in a chair, his wooden staff, and shoving a table in as well. He then rolled in, grabbed the wooden staff and then waited for the veteran Takeshi to get up to his feet. When he did, Koyama laid him out with the Ong Bak Beatdown, first striking him across the head with the staff, spinning it behind his back, struck him again from the other direction, threw the staff in the air, cracked it over the top of his head, spun it a few more times, and then struck him across the knees, causing the veteran to flip forward onto his back. Koyama held the staff high, and the crowd cheered loudly, causing Koyama to position the chair behind the still down Takeshi. The champ then dragged the veteran up to his feet, booted him in the gut, and then nailed the Koyama Death Spike, a flip piledriver, right onto the chair, causing the whole crowd to groan, as it looked deadly. Takeshi was busted open and out cold, allowing Koyama to make the academic cover and get the victory.

Winner: The Incredible KOYAMA by pinfall in 15:20 – B

After a brief commercial, and a quick photo album showing pictures from the after party the day before, including the fan acknowledged as Tigerkinney dancing with four hot girls around him, we go backstage to see Haru Kurofuji holding a microphone.

“Maybe somebody would like to explain to me why the hell I wasn’t scheduled for last Sunday? I am the biggest damn star this company has ever seen, and it wouldn’t be here if it weren’t for my efforts. As far as tonight is concerned, I couldn’t give a damn, but I demand that I get a title shot at the next pay per view, bringing some goddamn star quality to this company.”

Match 5: The Great Hisato vs. Haru Kurofuji.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheGreatHisato.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HaruKurofuji.jpg

From the second the bell rang, this was a fast paced contest, with both men having missions from the match. Both had not had the best of successes of late, so they were both equally keen to come away with the win. When the match started, Hisato tried to take Haru down with a quick dropkick, but Haru swatted his legs away, causing him to fall to the mat, and then locked his fellow veteran in a tight leg lock, really wrenching back on the knee. Hisato screamed out in pain, and tried to get the ropes, but Haru kept dragging him back into the middle of the ring whenever he shifted. He even came close to tapping, but his famous resilience came to the forefront as he kicked away at Haru with his free leg, then kipped up to his feet, catching Haru with an enziguri out of nowhere when he stood up. Hisato stayed down after this, using the time to nurse his knee, but he took a little too much time to relax, as Haru was able to catch him with a running knee right to the face, and then went right back to working on his knee.

This time, he locked Hisato in a leg hold Boston Crab, sitting on the lower back of Hisato, causing him to yell out in pain louder than before. Haru just smiled at his pain, and wrenched the legs back further from time to time to add to the pressure. Hisato was eventually able to fight against Haru and clawed his way over to the ropes, forcing his fellow veteran to release him. Hisato used them to pull himself up, but when he tried to chase after Haru, his knee buckled underneath him, leaving him prey for a running dropkick to the face. Haru pulled him back up to his feet before planting him with a facebuster, stunning his fellow veteran. He then quickly ran up the turnbuckles before leaping off with a corkscrew senton right to the back of the knee of Hisato, which he seemed intent on destroying right now. He rolled to the outside, dragging Hisato to the corner post, and seemed ready to smash it against the ring post when Hisato wrenched his leg back, ironically pulling Haru with it, causing the veteran to go face first into the ring post instead. Hisato took some time to recover before heading to the outside.

He battered away at Haru with several punches before sending him overhead with a suplex to the uncovered concrete, but he upset his knee again it seemed, as he clutched it after nailing the move. He quickly rolled back into the ring, awaiting Haru, but when he tried to go for the Green Emerald Future, Haru was able to catch him after Hisato hurdled the top rope, and turned the head scissors into a powerbomb, planting Hisato right on his head. Haru dragged Hisato in with him, but neither man really moved for a while, considering the beatings both had taken. The first man up to his feet was Hisato, who seemed to have recovered on his knee, as he barely limped over to pull Haru up to his feet, but the wily veteran Haru kicked Hisato’s knee when he was pulled up, causing Hisato to drop down to one knee. Haru then ran to the ropes with amazing speed, but when he came back, Hisato caught him with a one footed dropkick right to the jaw that flipped Haru right over. Hisato was now in control, and he connected with a series of stomps and kicks to the kidneys of Haru before pulling him up to his feet and whipping him across the ring into the corner.

When Hisato ran in, Haru tried to counter with a clothesline, but Hisato leapfrogged him, managing to leap onto the top rope in doing so. He then ran across the ropes and caught Haru with a diving cross body when he turned around, completing the Jade Warrior Plunge. Hisato made the cover, but his fellow veteran kicked out after barely two, causing Hisato to question the ref. Haru was back up on his feet soon, and connected with a chop block right to the back of Hisato’s knees, causing the veteran to yell in pain again and drop down to the mat. Haru climbed up to the top rope, attempting to end the match with the Suicide Headbutt, but when he flew off, Hisato rolled away just in time, causing Haru to stun himself upon hitting the mat. ‘The Great One’ then got up to his feet, waiting for Haru to do the same, aiming to go for the Mystic Dragon Wave, but when he flung Haru overhead for the first German Suplex, Haru landed on his feet and then caught the veteran with a lungblower. Hisato was knocked breathless and struggled to get up to his feet, leaving him prey to Haru, who connected with a quick enziguri to the back of his head before dragging him into the middle of the ring for the Kurofuji Crab.

Hisato put up a massive amount of resistance, refusing to tap out despite the incredible amount of damage it was doing and the sheer pain he was in, but when Haru added insult to injury by lazily leaning back onto the back of Hisato, that he finally tapped out, as it was just too much to bear.

Winner: Haru Kurofuji by submission in 21:16 – A

As Haru begins to celebrate, there is a sudden eruption of cheers as Koshiro Ino stormed out to the ring, pegging it down the ramp. He then got right in the face of Haru, most likely over what the veteran had said earlier. Before the argument got too dangerous some officials ran down to the ring and separated the two, but they never lost eye contact with each other, with each man staring a hole through the other.

Cheers Tigerkinney, means a bunch coming from you :). To be quite honest, most of the write-ups weren’t originally meant to be that long, as I was only going to do that much for the tournament matches, but I’ve recently had a lot of fun doing them, so it's nice to know you like them :D

Match 1: Silver Shark vs. Lassana Makutsi.
Non-title..

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/LassanaMakutsi.jpg

The young Lassana had been making waves on the American independent scene since he was released from his contract in late 2010, and now finds his way to Japan. When the match started, Shark tried to take the youngster down with a leg sweep, but Lassana caught the veteran champion across the face with a stiff punch right to the jaw. He stumbled backwards, only to be sent to the mat with another punch. Lassana promptly pulled Shark back up to his feet, and realising that he was dazed, looked to finish him off, first battering away at his skull with a series of seven or eight punches, then connected with five alternate knee strikes to the face before connecting with a leaping double knee strike. He then backed away, measuring up the champion, but when he charged in with the finishing punch to the temple, called the Assassin’s Strike, the veteran ducked underneath and threw the youngster across the ring with a release German Suplex, causing him to land right on the top of his head.

Shark then took the match to the mat, locking him in a variety of tight and painful holds centered around the shoulders and head, but just when it seemed like he was going to lock in the Jaws of Life, Nariaki Hitomi emerged from the crowd and pulled the referee out of the ring, knocking him out for a little bit as the ref’s face hit the apron. Hitomi then rolled into the ring, pulled the veteran of Lassana, and then drove him into the mat with the Hitomi Crush-Plex. He then scooted out of the ring and up the ramp as the referee came to and re-entered the ring, seeing Lassana coming to and getting up to his feet. Shark staggered up to his feet, dazed from the attack, and fell prey to the Assassin’s Strike, knocking him out and allowing Lassana to get the debut victory in quite an upset.

Winner: Lassana Makutsi by pinfall in 8:37 – C+

When he comes to, Silver Shark notices that Hitomi is still on the ramp, and chases him backstage.

We then see a video which quickly hypes up the next match, also including clips of Dragon’s victory over Dark EAGLE on the last show.

Match 2: KOKI Ishibashi vs. Mabuchi Furusawa.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg

Both men were very eager heading into this match, as each man wanted to prove himself as better than his opponent due to their extensive history. As soon as the bell rang, they charged at each other, colliding in the middle with a lock up. Both tried to grab control by forcing their opponent down to one knee, but neither was able to do so, as each man put up an amazing amount of resistance. However, Koki got a little frustrated and used his leg to trip up Mabuchi, shoving him to the mat and then driving his elbow right into the sternum of the youngster. Mabuchi slowly got up to his feet, but was soon sent staggering backwards when the veteran Koki clocked him with a rolling wheel kick right to the underside of his jaw. Koki then tripped the bigger man up again and locked him in a variety of leg locks, trying to keep the youngster down on the mat and take away his advantage, but Mabuchi surprised the veteran by going hold for hold with him, resulting in a standoff between the two that resulted in some cheers from the audience.

They locked up again with Mabuchi using his power advantage to steal the control away, throwing Koki into the air with a belly to belly suplex. He then went over to the veteran and locked him in a tight armbar, before quickly transitioning into a cross arm breaker when he felt that the veteran was close to escaping. However, despite his attempts to keep Koki down, the veteran was able to eventually fight his way over to the ropes to force the youngster to release him. Mabuchi did so, backing away, but as soon as Koki was up to his feet, the youngster charged in and tried to floor him with a clothesline. The veteran was able to side step it though, and then connected with a leaping kick, knocking the youngster down to one knee. Koki then tried to connect with the Ishibashi Effect, but Mabuchi was little too heavy, allowing the youngster to drop down behind the veteran and then bring him down with a Russian legsweep. Mabuchi stomped away at the arms of the veteran, aiming to weaken him up, but when he went for a grounded hammerlock Koki was able to fight out of it with some stiff elbow shots to the face, and then got up to his feet.

They continued to go back and forth until Koki was able to duck a back elbow attempt, kicked the youngster in the back, then nailed the Ishibashi Effect out of nowhere, dumping Mabuchi right on his head. He then hooked the leg and got the victory to gain some slight revenge for the title loss last week.

Winners: KOKI Ishibashi by pinfall in 13:52 - B

Koki began to celebrate, and was soon joined by his fellow Circle of Blood members, Dean Daniels, Dark EAGLE and The Incredible KOYAMA. However, when they saw Mabuchi coming to, they decided to send a message to UK Dragon, as they jumped the youngster and began to beat him up. Koyama was the only one who didn’t do anything, as he looked positively disgusted with what was going on.

Match 3: Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs. The Incredible KOYAMA.
Non-Title

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BulldozerBrandonSmith.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg

Another impressive match from the young gaijin here, as he took it up a level against the rising star KOYAMA. When the bell rang, Brandon tried to take the smaller man off his feet with a back elbow, but just like with The Tic a few days ago, Koyama was able to dodge him using his superior agility to outmanoeuvre the big man. However, Brandon was eventually able to catch Koyama with a stiff elbow smash and then whipped the smaller man across the ring. The gaijin gave chase, aiming to catch Koyama with a powerslam, but Koyama surprised the big man with a springboard leg lariat that knocked him over. Brandon tried to get up to his feet, but Koyama kept him down with a basement dropkick and then a jumping fist drop, connecting with the forehead of the gaijin. Koyama then tried to pull the bigger man up to his feet, but Brandon caught him with a headbutt and a quick series of punches before running to the ropes, knocking Koyama down to the mat. The gaijin then tried to take away the aerial advantage of Koyama with a strong grounded headlock, using his superior bulk to keep the smaller man down, but eventually Koyama was able to spin out of it and then got to the ropes, forcing Brandon to let go.

Smith backed away, but when he tried to send Koyama over the top with a clothesline the smaller man was able to meet him mid way with a head scissors that sent the big man tumbling out of the ring to the outside. When Brandon got up, he was met with a cannonball senton from Koyama, who leapt right over the top rope and collided with the gaijin’s chest. This knocked the air right out of Brandon, allowing Koyama to kick him a few times before rolling him back into the ring. This time, Koyama waited for Brandon to get up, but when he tried to go for a quick suplex, the bigger man was able to reverse it into a suplex of his own, delaying the execution for a little bit to show off his strength. Koyama clasped at his back when he hit the mat, and Brandon took this as a signal of his kind, as he began to target that area, stomping away at it and driving his knee in multiple times before locking him in a scissored chickenwing, called the Power Lock, and it seemed like Koyama was ready to give up after a few moments of extreme struggling, as the move was just too painful, but the smaller man held on, and was able to get back up to his feet after he reached the ropes. Brandon tried to take the fight to him again, but Koyama caught him with a reverse roundhouse to the side of the head, stunning him long enough for Koyama to nail a springboard reverse DDT, called the Star Flame, and then hook the leg, getting the hard fought victory.

Winner: Incredible KOYAMA by pinfall in 10:24 – B

KOYAMA then celebrates, but when he see Brandon moving he heads over to the young gaijin and extends hand, helping him up and then shaking his hand, congratulating him on a good match.

B for celebration.
B- for respect.

Match 4: Angry Gilmore vs. Dark Angel.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AngryGilmore.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DarkAngel.jpg

Gilmore no longer appeared geared up and ready to compete as he usually is, instead looking fairly melancholy on his way down to the ring. Angel received a decent pop, due to being a regular over in GCG, so people still know who he is. When the bell rang, Angel charged into the middle, trying to lock up with his fellow gaijin, but Gilmore leapfrogged him and then caught him with a back kick right to the gut, before taking him overhead with a double underhook suplex. Angel stayed down for a little bit, clutching his back in pain, but he was soon back up on his feet. Gilmore ran towards him, aiming to take him off his feet with a clothesline, but the wily veteran was able to catch his arm mid-move and pull him down to the mat with an armbar takedown. Angel then cinched the hold in tight, but he was just too close to the ropes, as Gilmore managed to stretch out his arm and grasp the bottom rope to break the hold. Angel did so and backed away, but the second Gilmore was up he connected with a few stiff chops to the chest before whipping him across the ring. He then tried to put Gilmore down with a dropkick, but Gilmore sidestepped him, and when Angel was back up, Angry slapped him in a headlock and then drove him into the mat with a bulldog.

Gilmore tried to keep Angel down, but he soon found himself on the wrong end of a few stiff forearms and an elbow to the jaw when he tried to pull Angel up to his feet, and then got floored with a leaping leg lariat from the veteran. Gilmore got up fairly quickly and then tried to take Angel over head with a snap suplex, but Angel pushed him away and then caught him with a running back elbow, then nailed a standing moonsault, impressive for a man of his age, and went for the first fall of the match, but Gilmore kicked out just before two. Angel looked noticeably upset, and pulled Gilmore up to his feet, only to be caught with a leaping knee to the chin and then whipped into the corner. Angel impacted hard on the turnbuckles, and was unable to move out of the way of a clothesline, as Gilmore connected right with the throat of his fellow veteran, and then sent Angel into the middle of the ring with a belly to back suplex.

Gilmore kept on the assault, locking in a variety of holds, mainly focusing on the head of the veteran Angel, trying to weaken him up a little bit, but it was all in vain, as Angel struggled and managed to reach the ropes, and used them to pull himself up. Gilmore tried to charge at the veteran, but Angel surprised him with an enziguri out of nowhere, sending Angry tumbling over the top rope to the floor below. Gilmore took a little time to get up to his feet, but when he was, Angel came flying through the ropes with a twisting plancha right to the chest, knocking Gimore flying backwards into the barricade. Angry yelled out in pain, and grabbed his back before slowly getting up to his feet. Angel was the first one up of the two though, and he whipped Gilmore into the ring again, targeting the legs of Gilmore to take away some of his bigger moves. It seemed to be working, as Gilmore put up less and less resistance each time, but when Angel tried to pull Gilmore up to his feet to finish him off with the Descent Into Hell, a lifting turning double underhook facebuster, Gilmore was able to throw Angel over his head with a back body drop, and when his fellow veteran got up to his feet, he nailed him with a Super Kick before planting him face first into the mat with a vicious Anger Management. He then hooked the leg, and got the victory in a fairly hard fought match.

Winner: Angry Gilmore by pinfall in 14:32 – B+

After a quick break, we return backstage to see a tired Angry Gilmore wiping his face with a towel. He then begins to unwind the tape around his wrists before speaking.

“Yet again, a man who thinks he is good enough to be on top falls to me. I respect Dark Angel for all he has done in this industry, which is a heck of a lot, but this ring is my yard, not his.”

He throws the towel into a nearby basket before pulling the tape off and chucking it in the bin.

“And now, I have another chance at the World Title. For years, I have been chasing various titles around the globe with the belief that one day I would take that belt home, and finally make myself a world wide superstar. But in recent years, I have realised that the belief that just sitting around and expecting things to just fall into my lap was not working, and was completely wrong.”

He then sits back, breathes out heavily and then leans forward, looking at the floor.

“And now the only belief I have is in myself, and that I only am responsible for what happens to me. All those who waited around for stuff will soon find that life passes you by, until you are too old to get what you wanted. You have to work to get what you want, and if that means living a hard life for decades, then so be it. So now, I put out a warning, as I can no longer bear the existence of such worthless human beings, as they are a waste to society, taking up places that could be filled by people willing to work for a living.”

He leans back again, placing his hands under the ceiling of his locker.

“Finally, let this be a warning to Rhino Umaga as well. I am coming for you, and I am coming for that title. Never before has anybody faced the true wrath of the deep depths of this mind, and that is exactly what you are going to have to deal with in three weeks. Fear the Rage, for it will take your soul.”

Gilmore then leans back fully into his locker and lets out an evil laugh as the camera leaves the room.

A

Match 5: Koshiro Ino vs. Awesome Thunder.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KoshiroIno.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AwesomeThunder.jpg

There was an almost definite advantage for Koshiro Ino present in this match, as not only was he bigger, but he was also younger and a little more agile than the veteran Thunder, facts that made many fans count the veteran out almost right away. When the bell rang, he proved all of them wrong as he took the fight right to the face painted warrior, connecting with several quick forearm smashes to the side of the head before running to the ropes. When he came back, he went for a hurrcanrana, but Ino was able to resist him and seemed to counter it with a powerbomb before flipping the veteran out into a face buster, planting him face first into the canvas. Thunder was dazed for a little while after this, as the move knocked some of the sense out of him, and the big man took advantage of this, pulling the veteran up to his feet, pummelling him with several stiff punches before booting him in the gut and throwing him across the ring with a hip toss. Thunder grabbed his back in pain, but nevertheless got up to his feet, if only to be taken down again with a stiff clothesline from the face painted warrior.

Ino seemed to be in total control, but when he got a little too confident and lazily whipped the veteran Thunder into the ropes, he was caught with a handspring back elbow right to the jaw which sent him staggering backwards before Thunder capitalised with a head scissors that sent the big man out of the ring. Ino managed to land on his feet, but he was knocked clean over when Thunder nailed his signature senton bomb style plancha, landing right on top of the big man. Both men were down for a little while, as it knocked the breath out of both of them, but they got up before the referee counted them out. Thunder rolled into the ring to break the count before rolling back out, and tried to whip Ino into the barricade to the right, only to have Ino counter and whip the veteran into the ring post. Thunder’s head bounced off the steel upon impact, and he slumped to the floor, giving Ino some time to recover. Miwa raced over to his client and tried to revive him, only to have Ino come over and push him out the way. Miwa didn’t seem to take kindly to that though, as he produced a bag from his trouser pocket. He pulled out something and called to Ino, who turned around. He then seemed to blow some sort of dust towards the big man, but Ino moved out of the way, with the dust instead getting Thunder right in the eyes, causing him to yell in pain.

Ino dragged the veteran into the ring and pulled him up to his feet before whipping across the ring. When he came back, he tried to throw him into the air for a flapjack, but Thunder countered on the way down with a DDT, spiking Ino on the canvas. Both men stayed down for a little while again, with Thunder rolling around on the mat trying to remove the dust from his eyes. It didn’t work though, as Ino was back up before he could fully get rid of it, and the veteran soon found himself on the bad end of the Back Snapper, a high elevation spinebuster, from the face painted warrior upon being whipped to the ropes. Ino then showed the fans something they had rarely before when he locked the veteran in a series of holds, with the main one being a bow and arrow lock, lifting the veteran high into the air and almost bending him in half over his knee. Thunder yelled in pain, and almost tapped out, but his veteran instincts kicked in and he refused to give up, causing Ino to eventually release him and think of what else to do. He waited for the veteran to get up, and tried to floor him with a big boot when he did, but the wily Thunder caught his foot and brought him down to the mat with a dragon screw leg whip. Ino flopped to the mat and clutched his leg in pain, a look of agony on his face, but this left him open to the assault, as Thunder began to kick and stomp away at him before dragging the big man into the middle of the ring.

Ino tried to fight him off, but Thunder just stomped away at him until he stopped resisting, and then locked him in the Ace Clutch. He struggled to roll the face painted warrior over initially, but after a few quick punches across the face he was able to lift the big man up and over. Ino yelled out in pain from the move, flailing for the ropes, and came very close to tapping himself when he noticed he was nowhere near the ropes. However, a lightbulb went off in Ino’s face painted brain and he soon rolled back over and powered out of the hold, forcing the veteran Thunder off of him. Thunder tried to resume the attack, but Ino stopped him with a punch to the jaw, then another one, before taking him off his feet with another spinebuster. He seemed ready to for the Kobra’s Bit when he noticed the veteran was getting back up, but Mr. Miwa leapt up onto the apron and distracted the referee. Ino was distracted as well, as he began to move to confront the manager, but Thunder grabbed his tights and hit a low blow, causing the big man’s eyes to go wide and for him to flop to the mat. Thunder hit a quick leg drop before sprinting up to the top rope and connecting with the Thunder Shock. Miwa then jumped off the apron and the referee turned his attention back to the match to see Thunder with his arm draped over the big man, and he counted to three.

Winner: Awesome Thunder by pinfall in 16:42 – A

Thunder left the ring fairly quickly, helped out by Mr. Miwa, but Umaga stayed, and slowly entered the ring. Ino slowly got up to his feet, clearly not fully conscious as he staggered around, and when he turned around Umaga took him off his feet with a Rhino Charge. He stayed on all fours and looked up at the entrance ramp before pointing down at Ino and towards the ramp, where Angry Gilmore was revealed to be standing.

News

Tigerkinney has received his signed poster of Angry Gilmore, and judging from the clips on the Wednesday show, he got a little extra at the after party as well.

Card

These next two shows seem to be full of matches with rookies or lower card workers having a chance to prove themselves against the bigger guns. On the first card we have KC Glenn making his first on screen debut against Americana in the opening match, while Antonio Maxi Marquez faces off against Eagle Kawasawa. Eagle hasn’t been seen much lately, apparently due to injuries suffered from Rhino Umaga, will he be able to win this match, or will AMM pick up the massive upset? We then have former tag champs Dean Daniels and The Tic taking on the champs Dragon & Furusawa in a non-title affair. Will the former champs get the victory to put themselves back in the race, or will the champs prove why they are the champs?

Nathanial Ca$ino is then in action as he faces Greg Gauge, who has rarely been seen since he loss to Marat Khoklov over a month ago. Will he make his comeback here, or will the wounds still be there, allowing Ca$ino to rise up the rankings?

In the main event of the show, new Universal champion Rhino Umaga makes his first in ring appearance since winning the belt against The Great Hisato, in a non-title match up. Will Hisato be able to derail the champ almost right away and add himself to the title match at our pay per view in three weeks? Or will Umaga destroy him like everybody else he has faced?

On the Saturday card, we have Kimuraman being given a challenge in the form of a Tap Out title shot against new champ Bussho Makiguchi on the second match, while Nariaki Hitomi takes on Americana to kick off the show. Half Machine Half Amazing then take on tag title contenders Circle of Blood, in what is sure to be a fairly entertaining contest. Can HMHA pick themselves up out of their recent losing streak with an upset win against the veteran CoB?

We then have Koshiro Ino taking on the youngster White Samurai. Samurai came up short for the Show Stealer title at DtDoS last week, being unable to unseat champion Silver Shark. Will he be able to upset ‘The Face Painted Warrior’ Koshiro Ino, or will he fall victim to the big man’s anger as he tries to avenge his controversial loss to Awesome Thunder a few days ago?

In the main event we have Angry Gilmore taking on Haru Kurofuji. Both men won their respective matches last week, and Angry is gearing himself up for his title shot in a few weeks. Will Haru be able to pick up the win and potentially add himself into the race, or will Gilmore easily take care of business on the road to the title?

Hisato will get in enough token offence, to prevent this from being a squash but Umaga will confirm his dominance.

WLW Rave Tour Show #12

Singles
Non-Title
Americana vs. Nariaki Hitomi

Wasn't aware either of these two had a title, but Hitomi is gearing up for a show stealer title shot against Silver Shark, so logic says he gets the momentum building win here, which pains me to say as Americana is ten times the worker he'll ever be

Singles
For the World Level Tap Out title.
Bussho Makiguchi vs. Kimuraman

I think Makiguchi needs to have a nice run with this belt, before he makes the step up to the next level, right now it's too early in his run for him to drop it.

Tag Team
Half Machine Half Amazing vs. Circle of Blood (EAGLE & KOKI)

Half Machine Half Amazing are great comic relief (well Eguichi is) but they'll never be serious contenders and the Circle of Blood need to re-establish themselves, even if they're hey-day was five years ago.

Singles
Koshiro Ino vs. White Samurai

Extended squash that re-establishes the Power and Paint man, as Ino needs a win back, after being screwed out of one by that devious Mr Miwa.

Singles
Haru Kurofuji vs. Angry Gilmore

Gilmore wont easily take care of business, but he will get the win, as giving Kurofuji the victory here doesn't really serve much purpose, other than to stroke the best friend of the owners ego.

I'm so glad this diary is here. Mainly because I love WLW, but also because I just spent half an hour looking for Cyber Fighter 3000, and this was the only diary that proved I didn't completely make him up! Luckily I eventually found him. His new hair is badass.

Anyway...

KC Glenn vs. Americana
- I can't remember who KC Glenn is :(

Antonio Maxi Marquez vs. Eagle Kawasawa
- Massive upsets are fun. Eagle Kawasawa is not, Optimus or no Optimus.

Dragon & Furusawa vs. Dean Daniels & The Tic
- Dean Daniels seems to be turning into a bit of a Robert Oxford/Billy Gunn type, but I guess he is getting on a bit now :p

Nathanial Ca$ino vs. Greg Gauge
- I'm going for Gauge, purely because I can't see Ca$ino getting over in WLW for some reason. Not sure why.

Rhino Umaga vs. The Great Hisato
- The Rhino's diet consists mainly of wins and beatings. We don't want him going hungry...

WLW Rave Tour Show #12

Americana vs. Nariaki Hitomi
- Just 'cause it's Americana

Bussho Makiguchi vs. Kimuraman
- Bussho has cooler hair, and Kimuraman hasn't really done anything ¬_¬

Half Machine Half Amazing vs. Circle of Blood (EAGLE & KOKI)
- Eguichi's gimmicks is... well, amazing. I can't possibly back him to lose while he has it.

Koshiro Ino vs. White Samurai

Haru Kurofuji vs. Angry Gilmore
- Gilmore losing now would be bad. After the tournament shenanigans, he needs to beat Haru here.

I've missed so much! Apparently this diary doesn't like to show up on my startup page, despite the fact that I've subscribed to it. Oh well, on with my picks...

Singles
KC Glenn vs. Americana
Americana is a great talent, and has the potential to be huge in WLW. He gets the win here.

Singles
Antonio Maxi Marquez vs. Eagle Kawasawa
Despite how amazing he is, I don't think that AMM is quite established enough in Japan to get the win here. Although, it is only Eagle, so it could go the other way to help establish AMM in Japan.

Tag Team
Non-Title.
Dragon & Furusawa vs. Dean Daniels & The Tic
Daniels and The Tic are like the other Half Machine Half Amazing, except not as funny.

Singles
Nathanial Ca$ino vs. Greg Gauge

Gauge owns everyone.

Singles
Non-title.
Rhino Umaga vs. The Great Hisato
Never bet against the champ. Should be a great match though, as this diary has become known for.

WLW Rave Tour Show #12

Singles
Americana vs. Nariaki Hitomi
Hitomi never really impressed me, despite his potential. Americana gets the win here.

Singles
For the World Level Tap Out title.
Bussho Makiguchi vs. Kimuraman
I went with Makiguchi here, simply because he is the champion and the more talented, although Kimuraman has the potential to be huge in this diary.

Tag Team
Half Machine Half Amazing vs. Circle of Blood (EAGLE & KOKI)
I love the team, I just can't pick them over two main eventers.

Singles
Koshiro Ino vs. White Samurai
I have to pick Ino if I think that he's basically being used for push fodder, which I do. That means he needs wins, and Samurai is an unfortunate victim of good booking.

Singles
Haru Kurofuji vs. Angry Gilmore
Gilmore needs the momentum heading into the title match, so he gets the win in what should be an incredible match.

To start the show tonight we have a quick video hyping up the main event, in particular the recent destruction Umaga has wreaked on this company.

B+

Match 1: KC Glenn vs. Americana.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KCGlenn.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AmericanElemental.jpg

This was a very fast paced opener that featured some of the best young talents on the market today. When the match started, Glenn tried to catch his more experienced opponent off guard with a cartwheel elbow, but Americana ducked under it and then swept his legs out from underneath him before connecting with a standing moonsault, getting a two count. Americana sprang up to his feet, as did Glenn, but when the veteran Americana ran towards the young KC to try and connect with a clothesline, Glenn sidestepped it and then put Americana in a victory roll armbar, causing the veteran to yell out in pain and try to reach the ropes. Glenn really cinched it in, applying more pressure as often as possible, but it wasn’t enough to put the Elemental influenced man away, as Americana rolled out of it and then kipped up to his feet before throwing Glenn across the ring with a head scissors. Glenn got up to his feet fairly quickly, only to be caught with a rolling wheel kick right to the jaw, sending him back down. Americana promptly then ran to the ropes before coming back off with a springboard moonsault, only to come down across the raised knees of Glenn.

Americana grabbed his gut as he fell to the mat in pain, allowing Glenn to pull him back up to his feet and then send him overhead with a suplex. The young Southerner then ran to the ropes and came back with a flip senton to the gut of Americana, causing him even more pain, but when Glenn tried to pull the veteran up to his feet, he got a kick to the gut, followed by an enziguri. Glenn staggered forward from the impact, and was sent back down to the mat with a roundhouse kick right to the side of the head. Glenn’s eyes seemed to glaze over as he rolled onto his back, and Americana seemed to fill with more energy as he went up to the top rope. He signalled to the crowd, drawing some cheers, before coming flying off with the Inferno Splash Mk. III, the ever impressive imploding 450 splash. He hooked the leg and got the victory in a fairly easy, but back and forth, match up.

Winner: Americana by pinfall in 7:34 – C+

We then quickly go backstage, where we see Nariaki Hitomi strutting along with a massive smirk on his face. He notices a girl leaning against the wall, and goes up to her, leaning with his hand next to her head.

“Hey baby, how would you like to come and hang with the epitome of coolness, and the sexiest man alive, me?”

The girl doesn’t even answer, she just stands up, slaps Hitomi and then walks off down the corridor. Hitomi laughs while he strokes his cheek.

“Yow….sexy.”

He then races off screen in the direction of the woman, and a few moments later we hear another slap before going back to the ring.

Match 2: Antonio Maxi Marquez vs. Eagle Kawasawa.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/ChampagneLover.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EagleKawasawa.jpg

This was set to be quite an entertaining match, and it seemed to benefit having a warm crowd due to the opening match. When the bell rang, the gaijin tried to catch Eagle with a jumping back kick, but the native Eagle ducked it and then fired back with a kick of his own right to the chest of the Mexican, and then connect with a few more, eventually forcing Marquez into the ropes before whipping him across the ring. Maxi tried to surprise the veteran Eagle with a leg lariat when he returned, but Eagle ducked it and then rolled backwards into a hurracanrana that sent the Mexican phenom rolling across the ring and then out of it, hitting the floor quite hard. Marquez struggled up to his feet fairly quickly though, albeit slightly dazed from hitting the floor, leaving him open to the aerial assault of Eagle, who ran through the ropes and connected with a suicida, sending Marquez flying backwards into the barricade, causing him to yell out in pain and then flop to the floor. Eagle pulled the phenom back up to his feet before trying to whip him into the ring, only to have himself thrown into the apron back first, causing him to grab his back before being rolled into the ring by Marquez.

Marquez started to work over the arms of Eagle, setting him up for the Champagne Breakfast, but the young gaijin began to get a little too c0cky, allowing Eagle to easily escape from an armbar and then get up to his feet. It was downhill from there for Marquez, because when he tried to get back on track with a back elbow smash, Eagle ducked and then caught him with a dropkick, and then a basement dropkick when he sat back up. Marquez struggled to get back up to his feet, and the second he got up to one knee Eagle ran to the ropes, and when he rebounded he caught the young gaijin with the Vision Quest, knocking him to the mat and stunning for long enough to get the cover.

Winners: Eagle Kawasawa by pinfall in 9:45 - B

After a break, we return to see Haru Kurofuji backstage with a microphone:

“This is really starting to annoy me, even though I won my match against ‘the Great Hisato’, I still don’t get any recognition. Hell, even ridiculous talentless hacks like the Tic are getting more attention than I am. So I’m going to make a challenge, a challenge to Rhino Umaga for his World Level Universal title. I know Gilmore is already the contender and everything, but I am the most talented star in this company, and deserve to be in that match, no matter what it requires.”

Haru get’s ready to leave, but when he turns he walks right into the chest of Koshiro Ino, who has a grin on his face.

“Are you serious? A man like you worthy of challenging for the world title of the greatest company around today? That’s even crazier than rabbit wearing a tutu and doing a little breakdancing, and that is very crazy. Let me set you straight old timer, you don’t even deserve to be in the top level of this company any more, and I’m going to prove it to you. How about, instead of you getting in waaaay above your head, you face me in that ring at Pork: It’s What’s For Dinner?”

Haru seems to have taken offence to the ‘old timer’ comment and takes a swing at Ino, connecting right with the jaw of the big man. Ino staggers back a little bit, before raising his hand and wagging his finger at the veteran. Haru looks confused before Ino pounces on him, taking him to the floor and pummelling away at his head. Officials hear the commotion and race in, breaking the two apart, but just like last week, they never break eye contact, staring each other down.

B for both.

Match 3: Dragon & Furusawa vs. Daniels & The Tic
Non-Title

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DeanDaniels.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheTic.jpg

This was a good match for these two teams, with the tag champs tagging in and out and using fluid double teams, really showing how much they gel as a team. When the bell rang, it was Dragon against Daniels, and the two engaged in a nice technical showdown, taking the match to the mat and going hold for hold with each other. Daniels tried to go for a grounded headlock and keep the gaijin down, but the champ was able to roll out of it and then kneed Dean in the head before getting up to his feet. Dean slowly staggered to his feet, clutching his head, only to have Dragon kick him in the gut and then send him overhead with a suplex. After the impact the champ went right back to working on Dean, mainly focusing on his legs and lower back, locking him in a tight knee lock, but it wasn’t enough to put Dean away, as after a brief struggle he kicked Dragon away before getting up to his feet and tagging in the Tic. Tic leapt onto the top rope and flew into the ring with a spinning heel kick right to the jaw, sending the champion Dragon down, but when he tried to take the much bigger Furusawa down with a dropkick, the champ just absorbed the shot and then floored the Tic with a clothesline.

Dragon came to fairly quickly, and took the fight right to the Tic, connecting with a series of stiff forearm and elbows shots, but when he tried to run to the ropes, the Tic just sprung off his feet and nailed a poison rana out of nowhere, spiking the gaijin champion right on the top of his head. The Tic went for the cover, but Mabuchi stormed into the ring and broke it up before the two count. The smaller man then ran to the corner, and climbed up top, but his leg slipped when he was getting ready, allowing Dragon to recover and then race up to meet him. The Tic tried to push him off, but the champ used his superior strength and size to overpower the smaller man and then threw him across the ring with a superplex, with the Tic bouncing off the mat so much he flipped onto his front upon impact.

When he recovered, Dragon went over to the corner and tagged Mabuchi in, who immediately went to work on the arms of the small Tic, locking him in a variety of armbars, trying to weaken him up for the Furusawa Armbar. The Tic held on though, refusing to tap out, even when Mabuchi yanked his arm back at almost a ninety degree angle, and eventually managed to flip out of it and connect with a leg drop to the back of Mabuchi’s head. Furusawa slowly got up to his feet, slightly dazed, but when the Tic try to bring him down with a head scissors Mabuchi threw him off and then stomped away wildly at him, before dropping his elbow into the back of the head of the smaller man. Mabuchi then called in his partner and they both whipped the Tic across the ring and when he came back Mabuchi threw him into the air and Dragon caught him with a dropkick, a double team move dubbed The Ferocity Express, flipping the Tic right over when the dropkick connected. Dragon then took care of Daniels on the apron, kicking him off and then going outside to keep him away from the ring, while Mabuchi slapped the Tic in the Furusawa Armbar, making the smaller man tap almost immediately.

Winner: Dragon & Furusawa by submission in 13:50 – B

The Circle of Blood then run to the ring and lay out the tag champions once again.

C+

After a quick break we return to see Silver Shark backstage.

“Last week, a much deluded man by the name of Nariaki Hitomi challenged me for my title, saying he was the true show stealer of this company. It was something like that, to be perfectly honest I fell asleep the second he started speaking, he was just so boring. I apologise on his behalf to the audience in attendance that night, we are supposed to make you happy, not sleepy. However, I feel like a little challenge, so consider it accepted Nariaki, let’s just hope you ego doesn’t get stuck in the door when I kick you out after I beat you.”

Match 4: Nathanial Ca$ino vs. Greg Gauge.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NathanielCaino.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/GregGauge.jpg

Nate looked considerably confident heading into this match, as this was a big opportunity for the young man, going up against one of the main players in the company in the form of Greg Gauge. When the bell rang, they two gaijins locked up in the middle of the ring, with Nate getting the surprising first piece of control with a wrist wrench, really pulling the arm back. Gauge was able to find a way out and then pulled the younger man into a short arm clothesline, sending him to the mat. Gauge then pulled Nate up to his feet, booted him in the gut and then sent him back to the mat with a scoop slam. He then began to work over the younger man’s legs, stomping away at the knees and then locking him in a single leg boston crab, pulling the leg back as far as he possibly could, but he had locked it in too close to the ropes, allowing Nate to fight his way over and drape his arm over the bottom rope. Gauge released the hold, but dragged the youngster back into the middle of the ring and nailed a leg drop right to the throat, making sure he was still in control.

When Gauge pulled him back up to his feet, Nate tried to fight back with a series of punches and elbows, but Gauge simply took the punishment and then fired back with his own series, including a roaring elbow that sent Nate tumbling backwards into the ropes. Gauge followed him and whipped him across the ring, sending Nate flying overhead with a back body drop when he returned and then went back to focusing on the legs. He came close to locking in the Proton Lock, but Nate was able to resist being turned over and then pulled one of his legs free before kicking the young ace in the back several times to force him off. Nate got back up to his feet and ran to the ropes, connecting with a flying forearm to the jaw that sent Gauge to the mat, but when he pulled Gauge up, he did it a bit too slowly, taking his time to show off to the audience, allowing Gauge to recover and then elbow him sharply in the gut and then hit a double axe handle before throwing the youngster high into the air with a release gutwrench suplex. Nate bounced off of the mat and tried to scramble to the outside, but Gauge grabbed his legs and pulled him back into the middle of the ring before swiftly locking in the Proton Lock, with Nate lasting barely three seconds before he tapped out.

Winner: Greg Gauge by submission in 11:48 – B

After the fans have stopped applauding him, Gauge grabs a microphone from ringside before rolling back into the ring.

“I hear that there is somebody in the back who thinks that he is the sole reason why we are here today. For the past few weeks, Mr Miwa has been ranting on and on and on about the accomplishments of his friend Awesome Thunder. While I do respect what Thunder has done for this industry and this company as well, I firmly believe that it is time for the current generation to step aside for the new, to allow them to take the flame from today’s aging stars. And that is why I am challenging Awesome Thunder to a match at the event later this month. If I win I will have done my family proud, finally done them proud, by taking my place at the top of one of the greatest companies this world has to offer, and as the top of the next generation. If I lose, it doesn’t matter, I will have learnt something from one of the best stars this industry has seen, and I’ll just keep trying until I am truly ready to take that place.”

He takes a moment to soak in some cheers from the crowd before lifting the microphone again.

“So, Awesome Thunder, I expect an answer soon, because I am sure these fans would love to see us fight it out in the middle of this ring, putting on a match for them to remember.”

He raises his arms after dropping the microphone, drawing in some more cheers, before heading to the back.

B

Match 5: Rhino Umaga vs. Awesome Thunder.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/RhinoUmaga.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheGreatHisato.jpg

Rhino had both the power and size advantage heading into this one, but as has usually been proved in recent times, that does not automatically mean you will win, as Hisato is one of the most agile men this industry has seen. When the bell rang, Umaga charged towards the smaller man, and they locked up. The big Samoan began to force Hisato down to the mat, but the smaller man countered by somersaulting onto Rhino’s shoulders and then sent the big man down to the mat with a hurracanrana. The champ was up almost right away, though slightly dazed, and left open to a dropkick from Hisato that caught him right in the chest. The big man staggered backwards, but when it seemed like he would be knocked off his feet with a leg lariat from Hisato, Umaga caught the smaller man and then brought him down viciously across his knee with a backbreaker. Hisato yelled out in pain and rolled around while clutching his back, but this left him open to a leaping knee drop to the back from the champ who then locked him in the Samoan Crab.

Hisato struggled to get out of the hold, as Umaga really cinched it in tight, occasionally sitting down on the lower back of Hisato to add to the pain, but yet again his legendary resilience showed through when he refused to give up and used up all of his energy to claw his way over to the ropes, forcing the champ to release him. Umaga didn’t give him any time to recover though, as he dragged him back into the ring and pummelled away at his defenceless opponent. Umaga then slowly brought Hisato up to his feet, but was caught in the jaw with an uppercut, dazing him enough for Hisato to connect with a dropsault and then springboard off the ropes with a head scissors that sent Rhino rolling out of the ring. Umaga landed on his feet but staggered backwards into the barricade, and when he started to move towards the ring Hisato came flying over the top with a beautiful diving cross body block. Umaga managed to catch him though, using his superior power to then lifted Hisato up into the air and brought him down across his knee with another backbreaker. Hisato flopped lifelessly to the floor, and barely moved, crawling across the floor, due to the pain.

Rhino promptly pulled him back up to his feet and rolled him back into the ring, and easily pulled him back up to his feet with ease before whipping him across the ring into the corner. The champ tried to follow up with an avalanche, but Hisato rolled out of the way, causing Rhino to come crashing down on the top turnbuckle and stagger backwards. Hisato tried to capitalize with a German Suplex, but the big man was just too heavy for him, as Rhino was able to resist him and then nail several stiff elbow shots right to the side of Hisato’s head before bringing the smaller man over his shoulder with a snapmare. Rhino connected with another leaping knee drop and then locked him in a chinlock, shoving his knee right into the back of smaller man’s neck. Hisato seemed to fade away fairly rapidly while in the hold due to the amount of pressure being applied, but he was able to summon the energy to fight his way back up to his feet, drawing it from the cheering crowd, but when he tried to escape from Umaga with a few elbows to the gut and then run to the ropes, Umaga just absorbed the blows and then brought the smaller man down to the mat strongly with a sleeper slam.

Rhino then went back to working on the head and neck of Hisato, even locking him in a camel clutch style hold. Hisato still refused to give up though, fighting his way back to the ropes, but Rhino pulled him back towards the middle of the ring, pulled him up and then threw him overhead with a release German Suplex, dumping Hisato right on the top of his head. This dazed the already near unconscious Hisato even more, allowing Rhino to pull him up to his feet and then whip him across the ring. Rhino tried to follow up with a clothesline, but the smaller Hisato countered with a springboard missile dropkick, connecting squarely with the chest of the big man. It didn’t take him off his feet however, instead making him stagger backwards a little bit. Hisato stayed on the mat for a while, trying to gain a bit of breath, but when he noticed Rhino heading towards him again he nailed a kip up hurracanrana that sent him across the ring. Hisato then slowly made his way over to the corner, climbed onto the top rope, and waited for the champ to get up. When he did, Hisato nailed the Jade Warrior Plunge, and knocked Rhino to the mat, but he only got a one count before Rhino threw Hisato off of him.

Hisato tried to go back on the offensive, but Rhino stopped him in his tracks a clothesline, then drove his elbow right into the sternum of the smaller man. Hisato gasped for air as he was pulled up to his feet, only to be kicked in the gut and then planted into the mat with a spinebuster, with his head bouncing off the mat upon impact. Rhino backed off for a little while, setting up for the Rhino Charge, but when Hisato eventually got up to his feet, he was able to leapfrog Umaga and then ran to the opposite ropes. He tried to rebound with a springboard cross body, but Rhino caught him on his shoulders then drove him into the mat with a sidewalk slam. Hisato slowly got up to his feet, using the ropes to help him up, but the second he walked towards the middle of the ring, Rhino flipped him over with a Rhino Charge right to the gut. Hisato was out cold, and Rhino just placed his foot on the fallen body of his opponent for the cover.

Winner: Rhino Umaga by pinfall in 21:49 – A

Summary:
Americana def. KC Glenn – C+
Eagle Kawasawa def. Antonio Maxi Marquez - B
Dragon & Furusawa def. Daniels & Tic - B
Greg Gauge def. Nathanial Ca$ino - B
Rhino Umaga def. The Great Hisato - A

Overall = B+
Notes: A pretty impressive undercard supported another great main event. I was honestly surprised with the Gauge/Ca$ino and Eagle/AMM ratings, as the two youngsters really outdid themselves.

We then see a video of Nariaki Hitomi backstage, still chasing after the woman we saw several days ago.

“Please, just go out with me for one night!”

Hitomi seems to be pleading now, and his face is practically red with slap marks. The woman is still unphased and faces the other way.

“Okay, fine…how about for just one hour?”

The woman just sighs, places her head in her hands and walks off. Hitomi scurries after her, but then he notices another woman and heads over to her.

“Hey baby, how’s about you and me hang out later? Because you are way too pretty to not want to hang out with a gorgeous specimen like myself.”

The second lady laughs.

“You’re right, too pretty to even be considered in your league. Get lost loser.”

She then slaps him with such force that he staggers backwards holding his cheek. Hitomi seems to throw a little temper tantrum, stomping his feet on the floor and swinging his arms, before heading down to the ring.

Match 1: Americana vs. Nariaki Hitomi.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AmericanElemental.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NariakiHitomi_alt.jpg

The advantage in this match clearly went in the direction of Hitomi, due to being much bigger and stronger than Americana, but when he tried to do his usual dominating power moves the smaller man scooted around him, eventually taking him down with a head scissors. Hitomi got up to his feet quite quickly, and tried to just absorb a dropkick, but the force behind it sent him into the ropes. Americana tried to nail the big man with an enziguri on his return, but this actually worked to help Hitomi as the big man floored the gaijin with a leaping shoulder block in the middle of the ring. Hitomi dragged Americana up to his feet and booted him in the gut before sending him overhead with a suplex, delaying it slightly in the middle to add more impact. The gaijin clutched his back in pain before slowly getting up to his victory, but he didn’t get any time to breath before he was sent into the corner. Hitomi followed after him, but Americana surprised the big man by backflipping over him and then dropkicking him into the turnbuckles. Hitomi staggered out backwards, and Americana tried to go for a Russian Legsweep, but the big man resisted and then connected with several stiff elbows to the face of the gaijin before throwing him away with a hip toss.

Americana stayed down for a while, stunned from the elbow shots, allowing Hitomi time to recover before the big man went over to the smaller man and connected with an elbow drop. Hitomi then locked Americana in a side sleeper, trying to choke the smaller man out, but the gaijin showed amazing resilience by holding out, refusing to tap at all, and then fought his way to the ropes, causing Hitomi to release him. Nariaki backed off a little to allow Americana to get up to his feet, but this was a mistake because the second he tried to floor the smaller man with a clothesline, Americana responded with a springboard moonsault press that sent the big man down. Americana then ran to the corner, trying to finish things with the Inferno Splash Mk. III, but before he could fully gain his balance, Hitomi ran up behind him and clubbed him in the back several times. Hitomi then grabbed Americana and shoved him to the mat with a single arm powerbomb, causing the smaller man to flip over upon impact. Hitomi smiled as he pulled the limp body of his opponent up to his feet before planting him with the Hitomi Crush-Plex, getting the victory in a fairly fast paced opener.

Winner: Nariaki Hitomi by pinfall in 8:39 – C+

After a quick merchandise ad we go backstage to see The Tic out on the floor with officials checking on him. Once the camera gets closer we see Dean Daniels being restrained by security and other staff members while shouting at his fallen partner.

“It’s all your fault! And now it’s time for you to get your damn punishment. You will never be safe, because the Circle is on the hunt, and it never stops until it gets blood, and it’s your blood we want. You hear me?! Yours!”

Dean is finally taken away by security, and when we refocus on the downed Tic, more officials have appeared to help him up.

Match 2: Bussho Makiguchi© vs. Kimuraman.
For the World Level Tap Out title.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BeetleKimura.jpg

Bussho laughed as he came down to the ring, seemingly very confident about this match, but the second he climbed into the ring Kimuraman caught him with an enziguri right to the head, stunning him, and then sent him across the ring with a running tilt-a-whirl Headscissors. The small man tried to follow up with another when Bussho got up to his feet, but the champ stopped him mid-run with a back elbow right to the top of the head, stunning him, and then threw him up and over with a belly to belly suplex. Kimura hit the mat hard, but before he could have any time to recover, Bussho stomped away at his body and locked him in a tight armbar, occasionally applying a wrist clutch of sorts as well in order to do as much damage as possible, but Kimura was a bit too close to the ropes, as after a little bit of struggling he was able to wrap his arms around the bottom rope and force Bussho off of him. The champ backed away slightly, but just when Kimura was getting up to his feet, Bussho ran in and clotheslined him to the floor again before dragging him to the middle of the ring and locking him in a surfboard.

Kimura really struggled to not give up, as the hold was doing massive amounts of damage, but just when it seemed like he was going to have to tap to prevent permanent damage, Bussho loosened it out of c0ckiness. Kimura quickly wrenched his arms free and fell forward onto the mat. He tried to then scramble over to the ropes to escape Bussho, but the champ was already up on his feet and then drove his elbow into the back of the small man’s head. Bussho then dragged Kimura back up to his feet and whipped him across the ring, catching him with a powerslam in the middle of the ring, but he rotated a little less than usual, dropping Kimura on his head. This knocked what little fight was still in the youngster right out, allowing Bussho to easily pull him up to his knees. He then laid into the smaller man with the Elite Elbows, his trademark quick fire elbows to the temple, before running to the ropes and connecting with the Blazing Elbow. Kimura was out cold from the impact, and the second Bussho locked him in the Pride Stretch the referee called for the bell, as Kimura was not fighting it at all.

Winners: Bussho Makiguchi by submission in 10:32. Bussho makes defence number 1 of his Tap Out title. - B

Once we return from a break we see Circle of Blood conversing backstage, and they seem to be commending Daniels on his attack earlier. Eagle was the first person to talk, and his voice is quite raspy and sinister.

“This is just the first step, soon everybody will be under our control, and the master will finally be pleased.”

Daniels and Koki nod in agreement before Eagle talks again.

“And tonight, we take another step towards the creation of his army. The unsuspecting victims are a couple of mere children in his eyes, and they will soon become just another pair of minions. Koki, you will do the majority of the work tonight, as I will be conversing with him throughout. Make sure you do a good job, because nobody who incurs his wrath through failure ever returns, stuck for eternity in the Portal of Souls.”

Koki nods his head with a smile on his face, while Dean just looks up with a look of fright in his eyes. Eagle notices and turns to face the gaijin.

“No need to worry my son, for he is pleased that you disposed of that waste of a former partner. He knows you are loyal to his cause, and you shall be richly rewarded upon your arrival.”

Dean looks down with a look of confusion on his face this time.

“Your arrival will not be for a while, do not worry. Until our task is done, we will remain in this land, and it will take a long time to finish this task.”

Eagle and Koki then bow their heads before heading to the ring. Dean seems to be having second thoughts about what he did earlier in the night though, as he sits down on a bench and places his head in his hands.

C+ for both.

Match 3: Half Machine Half Amazing vs. Circle of Blood

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/YukiHorigoshi.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EguchiTheAmazing.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DarkEagle.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg

This was quite a poor affair given who was involved, but they still put on a decent contest. When the bell rang, it was Eguichi in with Koki, and the two men engaged in a quick technical exchange, going hold for hold for a little while before Koki was able to keep Eguichi down with a grounded hammerlock and proceeded to lay into the arm with several knees. The veteran then pulled the Mime up to his feet and tried to whip him across the ring but Eguichi cartwheeled to stop the momentum and then caught Koki with a dropkick to the chest, sending him to the mat. Koki got right back up though, but seemed to stagger about a bit, allowing Eguichi to whip him off the ropes across the ring. But when the youngster tried to take Koki down with a clothesline the veteran ducked underneath the arm and then came back with a leaping forearm right to the skull, flooring the youngster. Koki then took control of the match with a few quick holds before locking Eguichi in a single leg Boston Crab that had him screaming in pain. The mime tried desperately to reach the ropes, but the veteran prevented him from moving at all. Just when it seemed like Eguichi was going to tap out Yuki ran in and floored the veteran with a spinning back elbow.

Eguichi used this time to recover, and as soon as he got up to his feet he began to create his invisible wall. He formed it around Koki, and when the veteran got up, he found he couldn’t move much at all, with this box trapping him in the middle of the ring. He began to batter at the walls to try and escape, before finding something. It seemed to be a hole, and he leaned down to look out of it, only to get poked in the eye by Eguichi, who fell over in hysterics. Koki grabbed his eye in pain, but then a look of anger crossed his face as he burst through the wall and stared down at Eguichi. The veteran stomped away wildly at the youngster before tagging in to Eagle. The veteran Eagle remained in control for the rest of the match, despite several tags between HMHA, and he was able to put the match away when Yuki got a little too overconfident. He tried to go for the Yuki Rush Lariat on both Koki and Eagle, but he soon found himself on the wrong end of the Blood Ritual, a double foot stomp to the face from Eagle while Koki held him up in a torture rack. Yuki flopped to the mat lifelessly as Eagle hooked the leg, getting the victory for his team.

Winner: Circle of Blood by pinfall in 11:46 – C

After a quick break we return to see Koshiro Ino backstage, leaning forward while sitting on a bench. Seiho Kuroda approaches him for an interview, but Ino just stands up and pushes him into the wall before snatching the microphone away.

“Let me just get one thing straight. Haru Kurofuji, I know you might be wise and all due to your ever increasing age, but you just went and made the biggest mistake of your life a few days ago. I almost lost complete control, and believe me, you don’t want to be in my way when I lose it. So in two weeks you better be damn ready for our match, or else you may find yourself on the wrong end of the most evil parts of my soul.”

He tosses the microphone back at Seiho, who was just getting back up to his feet, and it hit him right in the head, sending him back to the floor.

B+

Match 4: Koshiro Ino vs. White Samurai.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KoshiroIno.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg

From the second this match started, the advantage was Ino’s, as he seemed a lot more animalistic than usual, brutally battering away at Samurai constantly, with the smaller man being unable to block most of his attacks. However, when Ino tried to go for the Kobra Bite a little too early, Samurai was able to leap into the air and connect with a hurracanrana on the big man. Ino took a little time to get up to his feet, but as soon as he was up on one knee Samurai charged in and nailed a basement dropkick right to the side of the head, sending the face painted warrior back to the mat. Samurai then tried to keep the big man down with a grounded headlock, but despite putting all of his weight and strength behind it, Ino was able to power out of it after some initial struggling and get to the ropes. Samurai tried to drag Ino back into the middle of the ring, but the face painted warrior kept a tight grip on the ropes, and when the youngster tried to pull the big man back up to his feet, Ino connected with a brutal uppercut right to the jaw that sent the smaller man right to the mat.

Ino dropped the elbow to the sternum of Samurai, knocking the air out of him, before pulling him back up to his feet and lifting him high above his head. He tried to go for a military press slam to the outside, but Samurai fought out of it and then clubbed away at the back of the big man, sending him staggering forward. Ino then tried to swing backwards with a punch, but Samurai ducked the shot and then kicked the big man’s knees several times, forcing him down to his knees. Samurai then ran to the ropes and connected with a running knee right to the back of the head that sent Ino straight to the mat. The smaller man tried to keep control of the match with a little mat wrestling, but the power of Ino became obvious when he effortlessly fought out of the holds that he was put in and then got up to his feet after reaching the ropes. Samurai ran towards him and tried to take him over the top rope with a leaping leg lariat, but Ino caught him mid move and then planted him into the mat with a powerslam, stunning the smaller man. He went for the cover, but he was too close to the ropes, as Samurai was able to get his foot on the lower rope, breaking up the pinfall.

Ino then took control of the mat himself, locking the smaller man in a knee lock, constantly getting up to drive his own knee into the joint. Samurai desperately tried to get to the ropes, but Ino kept dragging him back into the middle and then connecting with the knee drive again. Eventually Ino got tired of Samurai squirming and hoisted him into the air before dropping him down again, causing the youngster to land on the weakened knee. Ino then took some time to get his breath back, leaning in the corner, but when he tried to floor the young Samurai when he was getting up, Samurai surprised the big man with a dropsault and then a dropkick to the right knee, causing Ino to stagger slightly, but he stayed upright. Samurai then tried again, connecting with the same knee, but it still didn’t send Ino down. The youngster quickly leapt onto the top rope and then came flying off with a missile dropkick, and this time the big man did go down. Samurai then connected with a standing corkscrew senton, and tried to go for the cover but Ino threw him off almost right away. The youngster noticed that Ino began to get up, and ran to the ropes, but when he came back the face painted warrior shot up to his feet and then planted the smaller man with the Back Snapper. Samurai’s head bounced off of the canvas from the impact, and when he did eventually stagger to his feet, he was turned inside out with the Kobra Bite, giving Ino the victory.

Winner: Koshiro Ino by pinfall in 14:59 – B+

When Ino begins to celebrate, Haru Kurofuji storms down to the ring and surprise the big man from behind, clubbing him over the head with some brass knuckles. Ino falls to the mat, stunned, leaving him defenceless against the following assault from Haru, who relentlessly begins to pummel away at Ino with the brass knuckles, leaving him a bloody mess in the ring.

B

We are then transported to another backstage area, where Angry Gilmore is throwing a few punches at an invisible target. He then stops, lets out a sigh and places his hand on the wall before speaking.

“Tonight, I face a veteran of the game, a man who has practically been there done that in this company, and will be looked on as a man who helped make this company what it is today.”

His slight grin turns to a look of complete disgust.

“However, what he does sometimes during his match is completely unforgivable. This is a man who will always cheat when it is possible, who will always look to strain the rules to their very limit, a man who has absolutely no respect for anybody else but him. He is another one of those men who believes that life will just hand you things, and as I told you before, I hate those types.”

He shakes his head before placing his head in his hands and sitting down.

“Tonight Haru is going to be taught a lesson, a lesson of respect. A man of his experience should know by now, that if you don’t have respect then you only have enemies, and will live a life of hell. Right now, Haru has no friends, and it is my mission to make him see sense, and purge him of all the bad within his soul.”

He leans back into his locker just like last week.

“He will learn to fear the rage, for it will take his soul!”

He lets out the same laughter as well, but a bit more energetically this time.

B+

Match 5: Haru Kurofuji vs. Angry Gilmore.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HaruKurofuji.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AngryGilmore.jpg

Gilmore was very focused heading into this match, while Haru seemed quite confident, most likely still smug from his attack on Ino earlier on in the show. However, when he turned to the crowd to soak in the boos, Gilmore clubbed him from behind with a double axe handle and then softened him up with a series of open handed slaps to the chest, with the fourth one resounding throughout the arena. The veteran Haru clasped his pecs in pain, as they had begun to turn red, and rolled around on the mat for a few moments before slowly getting back up to his feet. Gilmore tried to continue the assault with a few more chops, but Haru was able to block one shot and then wrenched the gajin’s arm behind him in a wrist lock, really stretching the limb as far as he possibly could. Gilmore tried to turn it around several times, but Haru kept applying more pressure each time until eventually Gilmore began to fall to his knees. Haru then tried to nail a leg drop across the limb, but Gilmore kicked him in the back of the legs and then used this distraction to wrench his arm free before nailing him with a quick enziguri out of nowhere, leaving both men down on the mat. The first one to move was Gilmore, but he took what time he had to recover his wrist, but this left him open to a basement dropkick from Haru who then followed up with a knee lock, intent on weakening up the legs for the Kurofuji Crab as well as taking away the gaijin’s aerial advantages.

After a bit of struggling, Gilmore began to edge his way to the ropes, extending his arm out fully to try and get to them, but Haru noticed just in time and kicked the gaijin in the face, stunning him, and then dragged him back into the middle of the ring before locking him in a single leg boston crab, occasionally leaning back to add to the pressure. Gilmore began to summon his strength again, beginning to power out of the move with a push up, but Haru sat down on him, forcing him back to the mat. When he tried the second time however, Haru was getting a little frustrated and released the gaijin for a second, which is just what Gilmore was waiting for, as he sprung into the air with a dropkick right to the jaw of the veteran, sending him to the mat. Gilmore took a little time to heal his leg, but got up first and then pulled the veteran up to his feet before sending him high overhead with a delayed suplex. Haru grabbed his back in pain upon impact, but stayed on the ground, prompting Gilmore to come over to him. Haru replied with a kip up hurracanrana that sent the gaijin rolling out of the ring. Gilmore got up to his feet fairly quickly, but staggered a little bit due to his leg hurting, and almost fell prey to a handspring moonsault plancha from Haru, only just managing to dive out of the way. Haru connected badly with the floor, just missing smashing his face, and was down for a little while.

Gilmore hobbled over to him and pulled him up to his feet before booting him in the gut. He tried to plant Haru with a piledriver, but the veteran fought back and pushed Gilmore away. However, when Haru tried to charge in and take Gilmore down, he was met with a back fist and then a roundhouse kick that sent him down to one knee. Gilmore then climbed onto the apron and waited for Haru to stagger forwards, and when he did, he busted out his signature Picture Perfect Moonsault, coming down right on top of the veteran. Both men were down for a while, but managed to make it back into the ring before the referee counted them out. Angry was the first person to his feet, and he pulled Haru up with him, but the veteran began to throw a couple of punches and elbows, connecting with the face of Gilmore, prompting an exchange of blows. Haru got the initial advantage, and began to force the gaijin into the ropes, but Gilmore quickly turned it around with a few stiff elbows that he soon followed by whipping the veteran across the ring. When he came back, Gilmore tried to plant floor him with a sleeper slam, but Haru ducked under his arm and then caught the gaijin with a leaping kick, catching Gilmore full in the face and knocking him to the floor.

Haru then followed up with a beautiful springboard corkscrew senton, connecting right with the gut of the gaijin, and then hit a standing moonsault before going for the cover, only to have Gilmore kick out just after the two count. Haru was frustrated and dragged Gilmore back into the middle of the ring, but when he tried to cinch in another knee lock, Gilmore kicked him in the stomach. Haru seemed unphased though, as he stomped away at the knee of the gaijin, but this just prompted Gilmore to kick him more, eventually forcing Haru to back away to recover. This was just the opening he needed as Gilmore got up to his feet as quickly as possible and floored the veteran with a running back elbow to the chin, sending him to the mat. Gilmore then began to take the match to the mat himself, but he was quickly outclassed as Haru went hold for hold with him until they were both standing and stared each other down. Gilmore was the first to make his move, and he tried to take the veteran down with a clothesline, but Haru dropped to the mat and slapped Gilmore in the Kurofuji Crab after rolling through. Gilmore yelled in pain as his already damaged knee was exploited more, but this just prompted Haru to cinch it in tighter. Gilmore struggled and struggled for ages before eventually fighting his way to the ropes and grabbing hold of the bottom rope, an action that drew massive cheers from the crowd.

Gilmore used the ropes to get back up to his feet, but as soon as he did, Haru was already attacking him, blasting the gaijin with several chops of his own and then a few elbows before whipping him across the ring. Haru tried to take him down with a handspring back elbow, but Gilmore countered mid-move with a dropkick to the back of the veteran, and then hit a quick leg drop as well. Gilmore then ran to the ropes and came back with a snap driving elbow right to the sternum before pulling Haru up to his feet. He tried to go for the Anger Management, but Haru blocked it with a few stiff elbows and then took the gaijin overhead with a hip toss. Gilmore got up to his feet quickly and rushed towards Haru again, barely dodging a clothesline, and when he returned he leapt into the air and caught Haru with the Superstar Sensation out of nowhere! Haru was too dazed from the move to have any idea what was going on, and Gilmore eagerly hooked the leg to get the hard fought victory.

After he hobbled his way up the ramp, he raised his hand, drawing massive cheers from the crowd. He noticed Haru was getting up to his feet, and he gave the veteran a nod when they made eye contact, a nod that was returned.

Winner: Angry Gilmore by pinfall in 18:40 – A

News

Fairly experienced star Mitsunari Fugunaga has been signed to a PPA deal, and will make his debut this week.

Card

This week we have quite an action packed few cards for you as we get closer to Pork: It’s What’s For Dinner! To kick off the first show we have a non-title match as Bussho Makiguchi faces off against veteran Tasuku Shinozuka. Can Tasuku get the upset or will Bussho continue his recent run?

We then have a clash between two big gaijin brawlers as Brandon Smith takes on veteran Jungle Jack. Which man will claim the win here, and could Brandon pick up quite an upset with a win over the Wild Man?

Then we have a battle between two youngsters as Yuki Horigoshi looks to make up for his recent lack of success in the tag ranks as he faces White Samurai. Samurai has had a little bit of success as of late, but suffered quite a beating at the hands of Koshiro Ino last week. Will he even be in fit condition for the match?

Silver Shark the goes up against Dean Daniels in a non-title affair. Dean seems to have got a little upset last week as he assaulted and hospitalised his former partner The Tic, having to be dragged from the scene. With the backing of the Circle of Blood, will Daniels be able to upset the champion Silver Shark? Or will the champ’s more finely tuned veteran instincts pick up the win for him?

Then we have another old vs. young match as Awesome Thunder takes the stage in the main event against Eagle Kawasawa. Eagle has not been seen much as of late, will he be able to make the right impact with a win over the veteran? Or will Thunder take the win himself and continue his recent rejuvenated run?

On the second show, we kick off with Mitsunari Fugunaga making his debut against young Toju Munkata, in what will be Toju’s first on screen appearance since he joined the company a few years ago. Will Mitsunari get the debut victory, or will Toju get his on screen debut victory instead?

Veteran Dark Angel then takes on Eguichi The Amazing in what will most likely be quite an entertaining match. Will Angel get the victory after his unfortunate debut loss to Angry Gilmore, or will Eguichi add major insult to injury with a victory over the veteran gaijin?

White Samurai and Eagle Kawasawa then make another appearance, with Samurai taking on the veteran Tasuku Shinozuka, and Eagle taking on Nathanial Ca$ino. Ca$ino was very impressive in his match against Greg Gauge, can he continue that run here with a possible major upset against Eagle Kawasawa?

Then in the main event we have a true battle of veterans, as Haru Kurofuji takes on Silver Shark in a non-title affair. In what is most likely a test for Silver Shark, he takes on a truly seasoned veteran in what will definitely be an exciting contest. Will Haru get back on track, or will Shark prove his worth with a win over the bonafide main eventer?

Excellent show as always, and I can forgive Hitomi getting the win over Americana as long as he's got that ladies' man gimmick. :D

Bussho Makiguchi vs. Tasuku Shinozuka
I'll be honest, I have no idea who Shinozuka is, so I'm going with Makiguchi.

Singles
Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs. Jungle Jack
If only BBS was ready for a moonshot push, but I don't think so quite yet. Jungle Jack gets the win. On a side note, he's somebody that I would really like if only there was a good picture of him to use. Sadly, I feel like the leopard print bandana is the best one.

Singles
Yuki Horigoshi vs. White Samurai
If Horigoshi isn't getting the rub from his ultra talented partner, he's not getting it here either. Samurai has been consistent, if not overly successful, on this tour, and I see him taking the win to keep up the status quo.

Singles
Non-Title
Silver Shark vs. Dean Daniels
Again, my honesty strikes: I hate both these guys. It's one of those random things, I just can't stand either of them. I pick Shark to win, because I don't see there being a way for them to both lose.

I kind of like the fact that you've established the Show Stealer title as a proper mid-card belt.

Match 1: Bussho Makiguchi vs. Tasuku Shinozuka.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TasukuShinozuka.jpg

Tasuku seemed to have the early part of the match in his hands, as he was able to take Bussho down almost right away with a clothesline, but when he tried to take control of the mat, he found himself quite outmatched as Bussho went hold for hold with him before locking him in a grounded hammerlock. Tasuku tried to scramble over to the ropes, but the second he began moving, Bussho stood up and drove his knees repeatedly into the back of the veteran, causing him to yell in pain and drop all resistance. Bussho backed away to get some breath back himself, while Tasuku rolled around clutching his back. The champ charged right in again after a few moments, and was able to connect with a stiff football kick right to the spine of the veteran, causing him to cringe again and stay down a little longer. Bussho then connected with a snap driving elbow right to the sternum before locking the veteran in a knee lock, but he got a little too overconfident, taking a bit too long to lock it in, allowing Tasuku to kick him in the face with his free leg and then roll out of the ring to get a breather.

When he tried to climb back into the ring though, Bussho met him with a baseball slide right to the face. Tasuku went staggering backwards into the barricade, and was left open to a clothesline from the youngster who then whipped him into the apron. But when the champion tried to charge at the veteran and spear him against the unforgiving wooden barrier that was the apron, Tasuku surprised him mid-route with a belly to belly suplex that sent Bussho flying back first into the apron. Bussho flopped to the floor and did not move for a while, but eventually he was able to get back in the ring, albeit very slowly as he seemed to be in a lot of pain. Tasuku got in before him however, and when Bussho used the ropes to pull him up, the veteran ran in and caught the youngster with a double axe handle and then a quick snap suplex, making sure the main impact was on the lower back, where the champ had connected with the apron earlier. Tasuku was running rings around the champ, as he was targeting his weak spot with several stiff stomps and kicks, but when he pulled Bussho up to his feet, he got a stiff elbow to the jaw. This left the veteran stunned enough for Bussho to take his time getting to his feet, and once he was up he nailed Tasuku with the Elite Elbows, with each elbow hitting the mark exactly. Tasuku dropped down to one knee, prompting Bussho to run to the ropes and then come running back with the Blazing Elbow, flipping Tasuku over from the impact. Bussho hooked the leg eagerly and got the victory.

Winner: Bussho Makiguchi by pinfall in 11:48 – B-

Suddenly we see Cyber Fighter 3000 at the top of the ramp, staring down at the champion, but before he can do anything, Bussho grabs a microphone:

“What’s your problem a**hole? You want a fight, or are you just gonna wait there all day like the coward you are? I’m right here, if you want the title, come and get it!”

Bussho drops the microphone and his belt before gesturing for Cyber to enter the ring. The Evolution just stood at the top of the ramp motionless before he began jerking about in a robotic motion. Bussho had a look of utter disbelief on his face and snatched up the microphone again.

“Are you serious? That thing is a wrestler? He looks more like a damn demo toy at some cr** toy store.”

He begins to laugh, but all of a sudden the lights begin to dim and Cyber Fighter’s music blares through the speakers. The ring starts to shake as Bussho loses his footing and falls on his butt, causing the crowd to laugh. Bussho flicks the finger at them, but his smirk his gone when he looks around the ring, there are tens of Cyber Fighter clones surrounding him.

The real Cyber Fighter is still breakdancing at the top of the ramp, but his clones then start to enter the ring, causing Bussho to scream in fright and hightail it out of the ring through the one open space. The clones all gather in the middle of the ring and point simultaneously at the champ, who looks like he has just seen a ghost, before all motioning across their waists. Bussho looks down at his title and then at the clones, then pegs it up the ramp and out the back.

Match 2: Bulldozer Brandon Smith vs. Jungle Jack.

This was a match between two very heavy hitting brawlers, and the whole bout was practically both men seeing how much damage they could dish out. When the bell rang, Jack raced towards the youngster and was able to send him staggering backwards with a shoulder block, but Brandon fired back with a stiff elbow right to the jaw of the veteran. Jack stepped backwards but then kicked the youngster in the gut before trying to throw him up overhead with an underhook suplex, but Brandon fought against the veteran, and was eventually able to turn it into a hammerlock. Jack cringed slightly for a few seconds before he was able to turn it around as well and then clubbed the youngster in the back of the head with a punch and then sent him flying into the air with a german suplex. Brandon staggered up to his feet almost right away, which was a mistake as he was too dazed to know what was going on, allowing Jack to send him back down with a clothesline and then nail a leaping knee drop. He then locked the youngster in a tight Chinlock, but he was far too close to the ropes, as Brandon was just able to place his foot on the bottom rope, forcing the veteran to release the hold.

Brandon was still dazed though, and he tripped slightly as he got up to his feet, leaving him open to a kick to the gut from the veteran who then promptly sent him across the ring with an irish whip. Brandon tried to counter with a clothesline when he returned, but Jack ducked it and then connected with a bicycle kick right to the face of the youngster, sending him to the mat. Jack stomped away at the youngster, mainly targeting the chest and stomach, before pulling Brandon back up to his feet. He nailed an elbow, but got caught with an uppercut and then a punch to the chin from the youngster. Brandon ran to the ropes, trying to take advantage of this new found momentum, but Jack stopped him mid run with a leaping lariat and then waited for Brandon to get back up to his feet. When the youngster eventually got up, Jack clubbed him with a double axe handle and then tried to nail the Jungle Jack Hammer, but Brandon pushed him away into the ropes. When he came back, Brandon tried to take the veteran down with a back body drop, but Jack kicked him in the gut and then planted the youngster with a DDT. Jack quickly pulled him back up and then nailed the Jungle Jack Hammer, but with more effort than usual due to the weight of Brandon, and then hooked the leg to get the hard fought victory.

Winners: Jungle Jack by pinfall in 10:59 - B-

After the bell rings, Jack pulls Brandon up to his feet and then shakes his hand. Brandon turns to leave, but Jack whispers something to him and they end up heading up the ramp together.

Match 3: Yuki Horigoshi vs. White Samurai

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/YukiHorigoshi.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg

Without any chemistry notes from the road agents, this was a phenomenal match for these two, as they really tore up the ring. When the bell rang, Samurai instantly tried to seize control with a clothesline, but Yuki was able to duck it and then cracked Samurai over the head with a Mongolian chop. Yuki then took the fight to his opponent, battering away at him with several punches and elbows, but when he tried to go for a dropkick after whipping Samurai across the ring, he found himself crashing down to the mat as the Honour Warrior stayed at the ropes. Samurai instantly took the match to the mat, mainly focusing on the arms of Yuki, but he soon found himself a match in his fellow youngster, as the two of them went hold for hold for a short while before getting up to their feet and staring each other down. Samurai was the first to make his move as he charged towards Yuki, but he was met with a high elevation dropkick to the forehead, flipping him over from the impact. Yuki pulled him back up to his feet and then whipped him into the corner, but when he tried to follow up with a back elbow, Samurai leapt over him and then connected with a head scissors that sent him rolling out of the ring.

Yuki staggered backwards into the barricade, and clutched his back when he hit it. Samurai tried to follow up with a running plancha, but Yuki side stepped him and clocked him across the face with a stiff punch right to the jaw. This stunned Samurai, because he stayed down for a little while before staggering up to his feet. Yuki was right there when he did, and he whipped the Honour Warrior into the apron, then dropkicked him back first into it. Samurai dropped down to one knee, clutching his back, but before he could recover at all, Yuki caught him in the side of the face with a running knee. Yuki then climbed onto Samurai and began to batter away at him with several punches before he quickly rolled into the ring and then out again to break the count. Yuki then pulled Samurai up to his feet, but when he tried to whip him into the steel steps, Samurai countered and then brought him down to the unforgiving floor with a float over DDT. The Honour Warrior waited a little while for Yuki to get back to his feet, and then climbed onto the apron when he saw his opponent slowing getting up onto his feet.

Yuki was able to steady himself quite quickly, but when he got up to his feet, he was met with a corkscrew splash from the Honour Warrior, and this left both men down for a while. They got up at the same time, and engaged in an exchange of blows, an exchange that neither man got control of before they had to roll into the ring to avoid being counted out. Yuki caught Samurai with a stiff elbow though and then ran across the ring, aiming for the Yuki Rush Lariat, but just when he was going to hit it, Samurai leapfrogged him and then nailed an enziguri that sent him down to the mat almost right away. Samurai then waited for Yuki to get up to his feet, and when he did, he whipped his opponent into the corner and followed up with a handspring back elbow, connecting right with the chin of Yuki, then nailed a hurracanrana that sent Yuki rolling right across the ring. Horigoshi tried to get back in control though, as he got up almost right away, but Samurai quickly sent him down with a leg lariat, and then leapt up to the top rope and nailed the Art of War, coming down on the sternum of his fellow youngster. He hooked the leg and got the victory in a fairly back and forth match.

Winner: White Samurai by pinfall in 11:50 – B+

Mr. Miwa is seen strutting down the hallway, when suddenly a hand reaches from off screen and shoves him into the wall. Angry Gilmore emerges and looks angrily at the much smaller man.

“I need you to send a message to your client. So far, he hasn’t said anything about my challenge, but I want to make it perfectly clear. When that bell rings at Pork: It’s What’s For Dinner, there will be no saving him from losing that title. Because when that bell rings, the full rage of my soul emerges and nobody has ever escaped it before.”

Miwa cowers while Gilmore steps backwards, but he then points at the manager.

“Tell him it is coming for him, and it will take his soul, just like it claimed mine.”

Gilmore disappears into the darkness, leaving a frightened Miwa straightening his suit. The manager stands up before running down the corridor to fetch Rhino.

Match 4: Silver Shark vs. Dean Daniels.
Non-Title

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DeanDaniels.jpg

This was an amazing match, with these producing the quality of a match that deserved to be in the main event slot. When the bell rang, Daniels tried to take the champ down to the mat by tripping him up after managing to get behind him, but Shark leapt over his arms and then connected with a dropkick that sent Dean to the mat. Shark took the match to the mat after that, mainly focusing on the upper back and head of the veteran, with the main hold being an underhook armbar, but Dean was able to summon the strength to fight his way to the ropes, forcing the champ to release him and back away. Dean took his time getting up, and when Shark ran towards him, trying to hit a clothesline, Dean threw him up overhead, sending him crashing to the outside quite dangerously. Shark landed on his lower back, and the second he hit he let out a loud yell of agony, and began to clutch his back while rolling around. Dean waited for him to get back up to his feet, and the second the champ was up Dean slingshotted himself over the top rope with a diving cross body that left both men down for a while.

Dean was the first man up, and after taking some time to recover he pulled the champ up with him, but before he could do anything Shark caught him with a few punches and elbows to the gut before sending Dean up and over with a suplex, bringing him down back first on the hard concrete. Dean winced in pain and clutched his back before rolling into the ring. Shark took his time getting back in, due to his own back hurting, but when he did get into the ring he was solidly in control, as he was able to slowly pick apart Dean with several slick holds and kicks, mainly targeting the upper back of his fellow gaijin, weakening him up for the Jaws of Life. Dean eventually managed to fight his way to the ropes, but when he was getting up, the champ brought the fight back to him almost right away, as Dean found himself back on the mat from a back elbow and then lifted into the air with an elevated surfboard. Dean screamed in agony but refused to give up, as he was worried about disappointing his fellow Circle members, and just when it seemed like Dean was going to pass out due to the pressure being applied, he managed to escape the move and then catch the champ with a head scissors when he got up to his feet, and then took some time to catch his breath.

When the champ got up, Dean took him down with a clothesline and then began to pick apart Shark himself, targeting the legs and lower back, but he soon found himself going hold for hold with the champ as Shark was able to counter every single hold he fired at him, and then was able to clock Dean with a kick to the face before getting up. Dean tried to take him back down with a judo style takeover, but Shark held firm and then pulled Dean backwards with the Russian Legsweep, with Dean rolling over from the impact and lying flat on his face. The advantage continually switched between the two for the remaining few minutes, but Shark was able to steal it away at the vital moment, reversing a Cradle Piledriver attempt into a back body drop, and when Dean was back on his feet, he caught his fellow gaijin right on the chin with the Deep Sea Snap, and went for the cover, getting the very hard fought victory.

Winner: Silver Shark by pinfall in 12:16 – A

We go backstage to see Gilmore walking down the hallway, and just as he turns the corner Mr. Miwa emerges and slaps him across the face. Gilmore reels backwards holding his face, but just as he goes to swing for a punch, Rhino Umaga charges in out of nowhere and spears his challenger into the wall. Gilmore slumps to the floor, and Rhino leaps out an animalistic roar of anger before Miwa approaches the barely conscious Gilmore. He leans in close to his face and after a slight slap begins to speak.

“You never threaten me or my client. You talk about how your soul was claimed by your rage, and that we should fear you, but Rhino was born without a soul, without a heart, and he would have no second thoughts if I told him to kill you right now. But I’m going to let you make your way to the title match in a couple of weeks, if you heal in time that is. And when you show up, you will learn what rage truly is.”

With one more slap to Gilmore’s face, he stands up and walks down the corridor with Rhino, who walks in a more menacing manner than usual.

Match 5: Awesome Thunder vs. Eagle Kawasawa.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AwesomeThunder.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EagleKawasawa.jpg

Eagle fell prey to the common misconception that he was much faster than the veteran Thunder, and he tried to run rings around the current ace, but when he tried to slide along the mat for a drop toehold he was met with a stiff kick to the face from the veteran, and he soon scrambled up to his feet again. Eagle then tried to take the veteran down with a clothesline, but Thunder ducked it and then fired back with a dropkick before whipping the youngster across the ring. Eagle tried to counter mid-move with a tilt a whirl Headscissors, but Thunder was able to resist and then he just threw the youngster across the ring, using Eagle’s momentum against him. Eagle was slower getting up to his feet this time, and was slightly dazed, because when he tried to attack Thunder again, the veteran easily took him down to the mat and then leapt over him to lock him in a tight grounded headlock. Eagle flailed slightly to try and break out of the hold, but just when it seemed like he was going to reach the ropes, Thunder stood up and then stomped repeatedly on his head before dragging him back into the middle of the ring and then locking him in a tight armbar.

Eagle struggled again and fought his way over to the ropes, managing to just make it and wrap his arms around the bottom. Thunder began to get frustrated and pulled Eagle up to his feet before whipping him across the ring, but when he tried to clothesline the youngster down to the mat for some more mat wrestling, Eagle nailed him with step up head scissors, sending him tumbling out of the ring. Thunder landed face first, and staggered up to his feet. The second he turned around, Eagle leapt over the top rope with a slingshot splash to the veteran, sending him down. The youngster got up almost immediately and rolled back into the ring, with Thunder taking longer than usual. When he eventually got back, Eagle stomped away at him and then ran to ropes. Thunder tried to catch him with a leaping knee to the jaw, but Eagle saw it coming and connected with a baseball slide style dropkick to the knee that flipped the veteran over. Thunder clutched at his knee in pain while Eagle thought up a game plan. When the veteran began to get up to his feet, Eagle went right back on the attack, focusing on Thunder’s now weakened knee, hitting several consecutive dropkicks to the damaged joint and then locked the veteran in a knee lock.

Thunder was a bit too close to the ropes though, and was able to fight his way fairly easily over to them and force the youngster to break the hold, but when he tried to get up to his feet, Eagle ran at him, aiming to connect with a leg lariat. Thunder managed to catch him mid-move though and he then dumped the youngster to the unforgiving floor below. Eagle stayed down for a while, and when he eventually got up to his feet he was still slightly dazed, stopping him from getting out of the way of the swan dive senton bomb from Thunder. The veteran came crashing down on top of the youngster, and both were down for a while before they got up pretty much at the same time and then rolled into the ring. Thunder limped up to his feet and tried pull Eagle up with him, but the youngster elbowed him in the gut and then connected with a jumping enziguri that flipped the veteran over. Eagle went to concentrate on the knee again, but Thunder was still too aware of what was going on, as he easily scramble over to the ropes and grabbed hold of them.

Eagle tried to pull the veteran away from the ropes, but got a faceful of Thunder’s boot in response, sending him staggering backwards. Thunder got up to his feet and managed to boot Eagle before the youngster recovered, and then whipped him off the ropes. When he came back, Thunder ran forward and nailed the gamengiri right to the jaw, and Eagle looked like he had been knocked out by the impact alone. He flopped to the mat, and Thunder crawled along the mat towards him, unable to stand up due to the pain in his knee. The veteran went for the cover, but Eagle kicked out just in time, with the referee being just half an inch from giving Thunder the win. The veteran slapped the mat in frustration and pulled Eagle up to his feet, but got a stiff elbow from the youngster, dropping him down to one knee. Eagle then ran to the ropes and tried to nail the Vision Quest when he returned, but the veteran was two steps ahead of him it seemed, as Thunder was able to catch him with a second gamengiri when he rebounded. This time, Eagle really was out cold, and the second Thunder slapped him in the Ace Clutch, the referee called for the bell, as Eagle was not responding.

Winner: Awesome Thunder by submission in 19:55 – B+

Notes: Darn, the main event disappointed. Was surprised with the Samurai/Yuki and Shark/Daniels matches, but this will mean good things in the future for all four men if they can continue at this level. Just because you hate Shark hrdcore doesn’t mean I have to as well :p haha.

True, my hatred of Shark doesn't need to translate into the diary, and I was shocked to see him and "Captain Average" Deano Machino pull out an A rated match. I'm much more excited to see a possible teaming of BBS and Jungle Jack. Shame that my boy Awesome Thunder couldn't deliver in the main event, but still a good show overall!

Match 1: Mitsunari Fugunaga vs. Toju Munkata.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MitsunariFugunaga.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TojuMunkata.jpg

This was just a horrible match through and through, as neither of these guys could really carry the match on their own, and that really showed. When the match began, Toju instantly managed to take Fugu off of his feet with a back elbow, but when he tried to hit a flip senton the veteran put his knees up so that Toju came crashing down across them back first. The veteran then stayed in control for quite some time, being able to ground the youngster with quite a few slick submissions, including a scissored armbar, but he began to get a bit too overconfident, allowing Toju to clamber over to the ropes and then pull himself up. Mitsunari tried to charge in and steal back control with a clothesline, but Toju caught him with a springboard missile dropkick and then went up top. He tried to come off of the top with a frog splash, but the veteran Fugunaga rolled out of the way just in time, and then began to circle the downed youngster, waiting for him to get up to his feet. The second Toju got up to one knee, the veteran charged in and nailed a leaping knee right to the jaw and then hooked the leg, getting the debut victory in quite a ramshackle of a match.

Winner: Mitsunari Fugunaga by pinfall in 9:58 – D+

We then go backstage to see the tag champions Dragon & Furusawa holding microphones. Dragon seems fairly relaxed, while Furusawa seems very angry, and is also the first one to speak.

“Circle of Blood, for a few weeks now, you guys have been getting involved in our matches and then attacking us afterwards. You seem to leave us for dead, but we keep on coming back, even better than ever before.”

Dragon smiles, and Furusawa holds up his share of the tag belts up in the air so it can fully be seen.

“You seem to forget Koki, we hold these belts for a reason. We are at the top of our game, the top of this division, something that you aren’t. You were never as good as us two, and certainly not now, your at least a decade and a half past your prime. Whereas I am just getting there, and Dragon here has more talent to beat you four times over.”

Dragon speaks now, while Mabuchi backs off and leans against the wall, his title proudly draped diagonally across his body.

“But since you guys seem to think that your numbers makes you better, we have a little challenge for you. Next week, we challenge you to a three on three tag match. It will be you three against us two and a partner of our choice. If you truly think you guys are better than us, you will meet us in the ring and give us your all.”

The champs smile and pose beside each other before we cut to the announcers, who talk over who could be their mystery partner.

C

The announcers suddenly say that there is a message from the back, and we then see Lassana Makutsi backstage leaning against a wall.

“Last week, I made an example out of your beloved Silver Shark. But I want some real competition, so next week, I’m laying out an open challenge. When I came to this company, I expected to have fun and to have proper matches, but instead all I see are people running around in costumes who think they’re cool. So this challenge will be my chance to prove that I am the best damn wrestler this company has ever seen, and that I am not only the future of WLW, but also THE EVOLUTION of this sport. Those who fall behind just aren’t fit, and so fall to the Assassin’s blade. One by one, they will all fall, until only the strongest stands.”

He then moves forward and throws a few punches at the camera before punching through a nearby wall and then strolling off down the corridor.

Match 2: Dark Angel vs. Eguichi The Amazing.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DarkAngel.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EguchiTheAmazing.jpg

Oh dear lord, another horrible match. Even with Angel’s immense skill, this was a horrible encounter. When the bell rang, Angel ran straight for the mime, but was met with what seemed to be a force push, as Eguichi pushed his hand forward, and Angel was stopped in place before flying backwards. The veteran looked up in amazement before getting up to his feet, but each time he tried to attack the youngster he was sent flying backwards again. Eventually he was able to find a weakspot by distracting Eguichi by saying “Ooo a gerbil”, causing the youngster to spin around to look for it, and upon turning back around Angel slapped him strongly across the face with the stiffest slap ever. Eguichi tried to build his legendary wall, but Angel kept kicking away at each level as it was built. Upon seeing it’s destruction, Eguichi fell to the mat crying hysterically, which made the veteran back away with a worried look on his face, but Angel soon rushed back in and kicked him across the face before then nailing a leg drop right across the back of the neck. Angel then kept control of the match with several submission holds, almost getting the youngster to tap out when he slapped him in a camel clutch, but Eguichi’s instincts kicked in as he was able to fight his way to the ropes and force Angel to break the hold and back away.

Eguichi slowly got up to his feet, only to be met with a dropkick from the veteran that sent him tumbling off the apron. Angel then ran across the ring and when Eguichi was up to his feet, the veteran leapt clean over the top rope and connected with a diving splash, sending both men into the barricade. It was a while before either man was up, but the first to move was Angel, who got back into the ring soon after coming to his senses. He shoved the youngster back into the ring, but upon getting up to his feet, he found himself trapped in a lasso that Eguichi had thrown in his direction, preventing him from moving at all. The youngster then yanked at Angel, causing the veteran to trip up, and then proceeded to tie a knot before stepping back to admire his work. Angel had a look of complete boredom on his face as he easily tore through the imaginary rope and then got up to his feet. Eguichi ran towards him to take him off his feet, but Angel caught him with a boot to the gut and then planted him with the Descent into Hell, getting the victory.

Winners: Dark Angel by pinfall in 10:43 - D+

We then see a quick hype video of Dark Angel following a brief commercial break.

Match 3: White Samurai vs. Tasuku Shinozuka

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TasukuShinozuka.jpg

Yet again these two impress, with Samurai being able to pull out another great match for somebody of his level. When the bell rang, he was a bit overzealous, as he charged towards Tasuku, only to be caught in the jaw with a punch from the veteran who then swiftly took the match to the mat. Samurai tried to go hold for hold with Tasuku, but he soon found himself on the losing side, being locked in a grounded hammerlock and then kneed in the face. Tasuku tried to pull Samurai up to his feet after that, but the youngster was able to catch him with a strong elbow to the gut and then a backflip kick to the chin that sent the veteran staggering backwards. Samurai then rushed in and hit a spinning heel kick that hit the jaw as well, sending the veteran flopped to the mat. Samurai took control with a few quick holds before locking Tasuku in a tight leg lock. Time and again he stood up before dropping his knee right into the joints of the veteran’s leg, eager to weaken him up, but Tasuku refused to give up, no matter how much pain he was in, and he was able to fight his way to the ropes and make the youngster release the hold.

As soon as Tasuku was up to his feet though, Samurai was able to catch him with a handspring dropkick that sent him onto the apron. Samurai tried to connect with a leaping head scissors, but the veteran was able to resist him and then leap off the edge of the apron, bring him head first into the unforgiving floor outside with a powerbomb. Neither man moved for a long time, with Samurai seeming to be barely conscious, but he eventually stirred. Tasuku was able to keep in control with a few strong elbows and he then rolled the youngster into the ring, but he found himself on the wrong end of a basement dropkick when he tried to enter it himself. Samurai then took this time to get his breath back while the veteran slowly got up to both feet. The second he did, Samurai rushed in, but Tasuku was able to catch him with a big boot followed by an elbow drop that gave Tasuku control of the match again. The veteran swiftly kept the match on the mat with a prolonged sleeper hold, but when Samurai showed signs of getting to the ropes, Tasuku dragged him back into the middle of the ring and then slapped him in a single leg Boston Crab. Samurai yelled in pain, but he was able to bear it enough to fight his way over to the ropes, forcing Tasuku to back away.

Samurai used the ropes to pull himself up, and he was able to throw the veteran over him when Tasuku tried to catch him with a back elbow. However, Tasuku was able to land on the apron outside and clubbed the youngster in the back with an overhead chop. Samurai staggered forward before leaping and spinning around to connect with a vicious enziguri. Tasuku went limp and he flopped off the apron, giving Samurai time to recover his breath. Tasuku started to move and climbed onto the apron again, only to be flung back into it by Samurai, who then connected with a series of stomps before pulling the veteran up to his feet once again. Tasuku tried to fight back with a few elbows and punches, but Samurai silenced him with a leaping knee before running to the ropes. Tasuku managed to summon the final bits of energy in his system to stand up and run after Samurai, but this proved to be a mistake, as the Honour Warrior was able to then catch the veteran with the Bushido Knee, a running dropkick style knee strike, flipping Tasuku right over upon impact. Samurai quickly scurried over and hooked the leg, getting the victory in a good match up.

Winner: White Samurai by pinfall in 15:08 – B

After a quick break we got backstage to see Koshiro Ino running around frantically, ramming himself into the walls, creating gaping holes, and throwing various pieces of furniture around. The camera catches up to him and he quickly turns to face it, revealing his usual face paint to have changed to pure red. He breathes heavily while speaking, and constantly looks as if he wants to rip the camera in two.

“Haru Kurofuji, I took you for a man who had control, a man who was capable of respecting those who were genuinely at the top, whether or not they were better than you. But then last week, you attacked me, you left me in a pool of my own blood, and that brought forth something I have never felt before.”

His tenses all his muscles and looks like he is about to explode. When speaking, he reaches up and grasps his hair with both hands, a look of pure anger on his face.

“YOU BROUGHT FOR THE RAGE, YOU BROUGHT FORTH THE POWER, AND YOU GAVE ME THE FUEL FOR MY AMBITION!”

His head shakes violently before he speaks again.

“You can fell it too can’t you Haru? You have raised the anger and retribution of the billions of people that inhabit this planet, and the power of those billions of people floats through these veins, giving me the strength to strike you down and leave you quivering in your own pool of blood. Then you will see how it feels to be defenceless, how to be weak, how to be genuinely scared for your life.”

He seems to have calmed down a little bit, but he then reaches for something off screen and then throws it across the room.

“I will see you in a week Haru, and I hope to god you are ready for it, or else there may be nothing left of you but dust.”

He breathes heavily before lumbering down the hall way, and when a crew member crosses past him, he punches the poor man right in the face and continues walking.

Match 4: Nathanial Ca$ino vs. Eagle Kawasawa

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NathanielCaino.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EagleKawasawa.jpg

This was quite an entertaining match, though not as good as Nate’s last match. As soon as the bell rang, the gaijin ran in and tried to take Eagle down with a clothesline, but Eagle ducked it and then fired back with a few stiff elbows before whipping Nate across the ring. When the youngster came back Eagle threw him into the air and then brought him down with a vicious flapjack, bringing Nate down right onto his face. Eagle was in control pretty much from that point on, keeping the young gaijin down on the mat to take away his aerial advantage. However, just when Eagle seemed ready to nail the Vision Quest and end the match quite quickly, Nate leapt to his feet and caught the experienced star right in the gut with the Kitchen Sink Knee, almost flipping Eagle right over from the impact. Eagle cringed in pain and gasped for air, but Nate gave him very little time to breath, connecting with a stiff kick right to the spine and then pulled him up to his feet before sending Eagle across the ring. When he came back, Nate leapt into the air and nailed a hurracanrana, but when he hooked the leg Eagle kicked out just after the two count, causing Nate to slap the mat in anger. After a brief argument with the referee over his counting, Nate yelled abuse at the downed Eagle before pulling him up to his feet slowly.

The young gaijin left his guard down when doing so, allowing Eagle to drill him right in the jaw with an uppercut, and when Nate was staggering backwards holding his chin, Eagle ran towards him and nailed a running enziguri, flipping Nate right over. Eagle took a little time to get his breath back, and when Nate was up again, he ran straight at the youngster and caught him with a running bulldog, planting the gaijin face first into the mat again. The veteran Eagle then stomped away stiffly at the back of Nate before pulling him up to his feet. When he tried to throw the gaijin overhead with a suplex, Nate was able to counter it by dropping behind Eagle and then drilling him with a neckbreaker. Nate seemed to be priming to connect with the Hard Eight, a running sliding dropkick to the face, and pick up the major upset, but just when he was about to nail it, Eagle rolled out of the way and then brought him down quite stiffly with a sleeperslam. Nate bounced on the mat from the impact of the move, and he stayed down for a quite a while. When he slowly began to get up to his feet, Eagle signalled to the crowd, and when Nate was up to one knee, the home star ran in and nailed the Vision Quest. Nate flopped forward, his eyes glazing over, and Eagle almost bent him in half when he hooked the leg, getting the victory.

Winner: Eagle Kawasawa by pinfall in 10:17 – B-

After another quick break, we return to see Mr Miwa backstage with Rhino Umaga and Awesome Thunder standing behind him.

“My clients and I are not amused. After seeing how easily Umaga disposed of Gilmore a few days ago, I don’t feel that the American is fit enough to face somebody as skilled as my client here, so I demand a reconsideration on the part of Contendership. Yes, I am aware he did win a match to get the shot, but he is barely in a fit enough state to attend this show, let alone wrestle in a week.”

Umaga smiles, proud of the damage he dealt on the last show.

“And on behalf of Awesome Thunder, I have to just ask one question. Greg Gauge? Is there nobody better for my client to face? Thunder is just what his name says he is, Awesome, and Greg is your typical kid, always trying to be better than the big boys. In my view, he should be taught a lesson, a true lesson in respect when my client destroys him like he can’t imagine.”

Thunder nods his head and then throws it back while cackling.

“If management decide not to change Gilmore having a title shot, then I have a little challenge for him. Next week, on the final show before he gets the worst beating of his life, I challenge him to a tag match against Rhino Umaga. Both my client and Gilmore can pick their partners. However, it will be of no use for Gilmore, because the partner we have picked out is capable of ripping you to shreds as soon as that bell rings.”

All three men burst into laughter before we cut to a hype video for the main event.

B for all three segments.

Match 5: Haru Kurofuji vs. Silver Shark.
Non-Title

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HaruKurofuji.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg

When the bell rang, it was Haru who ran and tried to take the gaijin champ down with a dropkick, but Shark showed his veteran experience when he easily dodged the attempt and then caught Haru with one of his own when he got up to his feet. Shark tried to keep control of the match by keeping Haru on the mat, but this slowly began to work against him, as Haru was easily countering any hold that the gaijin tried to cinch in, and eventually Haru was able to claw his way to the ropes to force Shark to back off. When he got up to his feet, the gaijin tried to run forward and connect with a clothesline, but Haru ducked underneath it and used the outstretched limb to yank Shark to the mat and locked him in a scissored armbar, yanking the arm out further from time to time. After a long struggle, Shark was able to roll over and kicked his fellow veteran in the face until he released the hold. Haru tried to bring Shark down to the mat with an STO, but Shark was able to back flip and counter with a float over DDT, spiking Haru right on the top of his head. Shark slowly got up to his feet to take a breather, but he took a little too long, as his opponent was able to catch him off guard with an enziguri out of nowhere that left both men down for a little while.

When they did finally begin to move, it was Haru who got up first, but he staggered slightly before grabbing his head, obviously feeling the effects of the DDT. This gave Shark time to begin to get up, but upon getting to his feet Haru kicked him full in the face and then nailed a flip senton before going for a cover. Shark only just managed to kick out, as the strike to the face had dazed him quite heavily. Haru used this to his advantage to pull the gaijin into the middle of the ring and lock him in a tight knee lock, trying to take away his aerial advantage. Occasionally Haru would stand up and then drive his own knee into Shark’s knee, but he also stomped away at the other leg sometimes to make sure Shark was in near agony. Haru got a little too overconfident though, and he spent a little too long showboating before connecting with the knee drop, giving Shark time to kick Haru dangerously close to the groin and then roll away. Haru’s expression was one of true pain and shock as he slumped to the mat. Both men were down for a while, with the first one up being Shark, although he was noticeably limping. He hobbled over to Haru and slowly pulled him up to his feet, but his fellow veteran caught the gaijin with a dropsault out of nowhere right to the chin, and then slapped him straight back in the knee lock.

Shark yelled in pain and flailed his arms wildly, desperately trying to reach the ropes, but Haru kept dragging him back into the middle every time he moved even slightly. The gaijin was just about ready to tap out when he heard the chants from the crowd, with a surprising amount cheering “Sil-ver Shark! Sil-ver Shark!”. He seemed to fill up with energy as he clawed his way over to the ropes. He almost got to them, with his fingers mere millimetres away from touching them, when Haru released the hold and then stomped on the back of his head, leaving Shark face down on the mat. Haru paced a little bit before pulling Shark back up to his feet and whipping him across the ring. He tried to catch the gaijin with a back elbow, but Shark was able to duck it and then come flying back with a springboard moonsault press, but he landed badly on his knee, causing him to roll around cringing and clutching his knee in agony. Haru slowly got up to his feet, feeling the effect of the moonsault, but when he saw Shark rolling around on the mat he quickly scurried over and pulled the wounded gaijin up to his feet before lifting him high into the air. Shark tried to stop Haru with a few quick punches to the head, but it was to no avail, as Haru brought his bad knee down across his own with a shin breaker. Shark flopped to the mat and yelled in pain, causing a slight smile to creep across the face of Kurofuji.

Shark slowly made his way to the ropes, inch by inch, with Haru slowly strolling alongside him, taunting him. When the gaijin tried to use the ropes to pull himself up to his feet, Haru kicked his bad leg out from under him, causing Shark to collapse back to the mat again. Haru laughed before pulling the gaijin back up to his feet and slapping him in the face. Shark suddenly burst full of life as he fired back with a stiff elbow, and then three more, which sent Haru staggering backwards. Shark then ran to the ropes, still favouring his bad knee, and was able to take the veteran Haru off of his feet with a leg lariat. Shark tried to get up to his feet quickly, but his bad knee buckled from underneath him, causing him to drop to his stomach again. However, he was able to use the ropes to get up to his feet and he then began to signal to the crowd, who were up on their feet. The champ began to stomp his good foot on the mat repeatedly, and the fans began to copy him. When Haru got up to his feet, Shark ran towards him, and just when he was going to nail the Deep Sea Snap, Haru ducked at the very last second and then brought the gaijin to the mat and slapped him in the Kurofuji Crab. Shark was bang in the middle of the ring, and he had nowhere to go, but this didn’t stop him from struggling. However, when Haru leant onto the champs back, putting more pressure on his bad knee, Shark tapped for fear of permanent damage.

Winner: Haru Kurofuji by submission in 18:48 – A

Summary:
Mitsunari Fugunaga def. Toju Munkata – D+
Dark Angel def. Eguichi The Amazing – D+
White Samurai def. Tasuku Shinoazuka – B
Eagle Kawasawa def. Nathanial Ca$ino – B-
Haru Kurofuji def. Silver Shark - A

Overall = B+
Notes: Wow, the first two matches are the worst I have had. For some reason, Angel’s loss caused him to come in with F- momentum, when usually people come in with some kind of momentum despite the loss, causing that horrific match with Eguichi. Again Silver Shark impressed me, pulling out an A rated match for the second show in a row.

No news this week.

Card

This is the final week before Pork: It’s What’s For Dinner, and we have two blockbuster main events set up for you for both shows.

To kick off the first show, we have two youngsters hoping to prove themselves when Masked Cougar takes on Antonio Maxi Marquez. Who will win this battle of the gaijins and move up the ranks?

We then have the in ring return of Marat Khoklov, his first in ring action since the title tournament, as he takes on the Ring Demons in a handicap match. A few shows ago, Marat threw Panda Mask II clean through his locker room door, and Kimuraman took offence to this blatant disregard for safety of his fellow citizens, and challenged the Russian Behemoth to a handicap match. Will they be able to do what nobody has managed to do so far? Or will they merely be scraped off the mat once the match is done?

Lassana Maktusi’s open challenge debuts this week as well, who will be his first contestant?

We then have a clash of the cornerstones when Awesome Thunder takes on The Great Hisato. Will Thunder be able to get the victory and the momentum heading into his match at the pay per view, or will Hisato deal him a big loss and derail him early on?

Then in the main event of the show we have Dragon & Furusawa teaming with a mystery partner as they take on the full Circle of Blood. Who will be their partner for this match, and will it be enough to fell the skill level that is in the Circle of Blood?

On the second show, we kick off with The Tic taking on the veteran Hidekazu, and then Antonio Maxi Marquez taking on former tap out champion Cyber Fighter 3000. Cyber has been slotted for his rematch at the pay per view, but since his ‘attack’ on Bussho Makiguchi last week, the champ hasn’t been seen at all. Will he even show up to defend his title?

We then have Dean Daniels taking on Yuki Horigoshi, as both men look to improve their singles rankings.

After that we have Dragon & Furusawa in action again as they face Above & Below in a non-title match up. Will A&B fell the champs before their big match and add themselves to the title race? Or will the champs keep on rolling into their title defence?

Then in the main event we have Rhino Umaga and a mystery partner taking on Angry Gilmore and a mystery partner. Who will the partners be, and will it tip the match in any sort of way?

Match 1: Masked Cougar vs. Antonio Maxi Marquez.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MaskedCougar.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/ChampagneLover.jpg

This was a good opener, with both men showcasing their skills enough to get the crowd warmed up for the rest of the night. When the bell rang, these two locked up before engaging in a quick round of standing switches. Cougar appeared to get the advantage, but he took a moment too long to pull off a move, as Maxi caught him with an elbow to the jaw and then ran to the ropes. Cougar leapt into the air for a jumping clothesline, but Maxi easily ducked underneath him and then caught the American on the way back with a quick leg lariat. The Mexican gaijin then quickly took the match on the mat, where he was at his most comfortable, and he began to slowly pick apart Cougar, mainly focusing on the legs and head. However, when he tried to pull Cougar up to plant him with a DDT, the young American was able to counter with a few stiff elbows to the gut and then connect with a head scissors when he bounced off the ropes. Cougar tried to keep this going, whipping Maxi into the ropes when he got up and aiming for a drop toehold, but the more experienced gaijin was able to leap over Cougar and then nail a back elbow right to the chin, knocking him to the mat.

Maxi kept control of the match with a tight armbar, intent on weakening Cougar up so he could lock in the Champagne Breakfast, but Cougar was able to fight his way over to the ropes and force Maxi to back off. The Mexican gaijin did so, but the second Cougar was up on his feet, he kicked the smaller man several times in the chest before whipping him across the ring. When he came back, Maxi was able to take him off his feet with a running Headscissors transitioned into another armbar. Cougar yelled in pain, but Maxi just took this as an incentive to deliver more damage, as he wrenched the arm back further. However, Cougar was able to claw his way over to the ropes, much to the disappointment of Maxi, who promptly dragged the smaller man up to his feet. Cougar tried to fight him off with a few elbows shots, but Maxi just fired back with his own, stunning Cougar long enough for him to lift up the American gaijin and then connect with the Marquez Stunner and get the victory.

Winner: Antonio Maxi Marquez by pinfall in 8:26 – C

We then see a quick hype video of Marat Khoklov, showing clips of his recent destruction, including his tossing of Panda Mask through a door a few weeks ago.

A

Match 2: Marat Khoklov vs. The Ring Demons.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MaratKhoklov.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BeetleKimura.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/PandaMask.jpg

This was quite an entertaining match up, even if it was a total squash for the massive Russian. When the bell rang, both members of the Ring Demons ran towards Marat to try and take the big man off of his feet, but the Russian just stood his ground and absorbed every single attack that was thrown his way. Panda and Kimuraman then ran to the ropes to try and double team clothesline, but Marat just stampeded over both of them with a double lariat, causing both men to flip right over. Panda rolled out of the ring, leaving Kimuraman all alone. Marat promptly pulled the tiny man up to his feet and kicked him in the gut before whipping him across the ring. The big man tried to catch him with a clothesline, but Kimura ducked his arm and then countered with a springboard missile dropkick right to the face of Marat. The big man staggered backwards slightly, but when Kimura tried to follow up with a head scissors, Marat resisted being flipped over and instead launched Kimura right over the top rope and to the floor below. The small man landed on his neck and rolled around in pain, and just when it seemed like Marat was going to follow him out, Panda Mask appeared out of nowhere and caught the big man with a moonsault press. However, instead of taking Marat down to the mat as he wanted, the big man just caught Panda and then drove him into the mat with a running powerslam.

Panda yelled out in pain, before seemingly dropping into unconsciousness, but this didn’t stop Marat from pulling him back up to his feet and tossing him into the corner. The second Panda hit the turnbuckles; Marat charged in and squashed him with an avalanche, almost crushing the tiny man. Panda staggered out of the corner, completely out of it, but Marat again kicked him in the gut and then threw him across the ring with a belly to belly suplex. Panda hit the mat hard, and slowly began to get up to his feet, showing signs of recovering, but he was turned inside out with a running big boot from Marat. Kimura had begun to re-enter the ring at this point, and while Marat was distracted with the smaller Panda, Kimura leapt onto the top rope and came flying off with a diving clothesline. However, Marat just spun around and caught Kimura in the face with a punch, levelling the smaller man. Marat then pulled both men up to their feet, lifted them high into the air and then drove them into the mat with a sick double chokeslam. He didn’t end the match there though, as he pulled Kimura up to his feet and then ran to the ropes, catching the smaller man with the Moscow Lariat upon his return, knocking him out cold. Marat then placed his foot on the body of Panda, getting the pinfall victory, before letting out a monstrous bellow.

Winners: Marat Khoklov by pinfall in 7:45 - C+

Marat still wasn’t done however, as he continued to assault the Ring Demons, kicking and punching away at them before pulling them both up and throwing them out of the ring. He then proudly looked over the carnage he had wrought before yelling at the top of his lungs and raising his arms.

C+

Match 3: Lassana Makutsi vs. Bulldozer Brandon Smith
Lassana’s Open Challenge.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/LassanaMakutsi.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BulldozerBrandonSmith.jpg

These two men are renowned heavy hitters, and they delivered on that reputation, as although this match featured some great technical spots, it was mainly an all out brawl, with each man trying their best to batter the hell out of the other man. When the bell rang, Brandon charged right in and tried to take Lassana off his feet with a back elbow, but the Assassin ducked the shot and then caught Brandon with a quick elbow to the gut before unloading with a series of stiff forearm shots right to the face. Lassana forced Brandon into the ropes and whipped him across the ring, but when he leaned over to throw Brandon over with a back body drop, the American gaijin kicked him stiffly in the chest before taking him down with a clothesline. The match slowed down a little bit, with Brandon slapping Lassana in a tight leglock, trying to take away his agility, but when he loosened the hold a little too much, he found himself going hold for hold with the Kenyan before engaging in a staredown. Lassana was the first to charge in, and he delivered a quick knee to the gut before snapping Brandon over with a snap suplex, connecting with the move amazingly quickly.

He then kept the match on the mat with a scissored armbar, and then transitioning into a standard knee lock, occasionally standing up to drive his knee down into the limb, causing it even more damage. When Brandon seemed to be fading, he pulled the big man up to his feet and unloaded with a series of punches, but when he stepped back in order to get the run in for the Assassin’s Strike, Brandon ran forward and nailed an elbow smash, then several more forearm strikes before booting Lassana in the gut and sending him into the corner. However, when he tried to follow up with an avalanche, Lassana showed agility betraying a man of his size as he was able to leap onto the top rope and back flip over Brandon with minimal effort. When Brandon turned around, he was met with several strong chops before being dragged out of the corner. Lassana nailed a few slaps and then a couple of kicks before bringing down Brandon’s head for the Wild Knee Combo, about seven alternating knees followed by a jumping double knee strike. However, Brandon didn’t go down, instead just staggering in place.

The moment Lassana ran in, Brandon lifted him up and then slammed him down with a spinning spinebuster, planting the African Assassin right into the mat. Lassana rolled away before slowly getting up to his feet, but Brandon was a bit overzealous, as he ran in a bit too soon, allowing Lassana to duck a clothesline attempt and then nail an enziguri to the back of his head. Lassana took advantage with a few clubbing blows to the back before sending Brandon high overhead with a German Suplex. Brandon landed right on the top of his head, and he took his time getting to his feet, clearly still dazed. However, this was a mistake, as Lassana was able to catch him with a few quick punches and then nailed the Assassin’s Strike right to the temple. Brandon flopped to the mat, allowing Lassana to hook the leg and continue his win streak, being 2-0.

Winner: Lassana Makutsi by pinfall in 15:47– B

We quickly see a hype video for the next match.

B+

After that, we see another hype video, this time hyping up the future Thunder vs. Gauge match taking part at Pork: It’s What’s For Dinner.

Match 4: The Great Hisato vs. Awesome Thunder

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheGreatHisato.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AwesomeThunder.jpg

This was a good match, but not as good as match that people with the talent of these two should be putting out. When the bell rang, Hisato tried to steal the control in the opening few minutes by trying to out run the veteran before racing in and hitting a few quick shots. But this strategy turned very bad very fast as it caused Hisato to quickly run out of breath, leaving him open to a quick knee to the gut and a snap suplex from the veteran, giving Thunder control. The veteran then set about weakening up Hisato, mainly targeting the legs and knees to prevent Hisato from using his superior speed, but when he tried to go for an ankle lock, Hisato raced over to the ropes and clasped his hands around them. Thunder then approached his fellow veteran, but when he tried to follow up with a clothesline, Hisato caught him mid-route with a springboard twisting cross body splash, and tried to go for the cover, if only to get a quick two count. Hisato then held up one finger as if to say that Thunder was that close to losing, but this overconfidence didn’t help Hisato in the long run, as Thunder was able to catch him with a leaping kick to the face before whipping him across the ring and bringing him down to the mat with a drop toehold.

Thunder then went back to working on the legs, but he fell prey to the temptation of overconfidence himself, as he lazily applied a Boston Crab. Hisato used this opportunity to fight his way to the ropes, but when he tried to get up to his feet he was unable to charge in, as his legs were really hurting. Thunder took advantage of this and connected with a dropkick before nailing a flip senton and then taking the match back to the mat. He locked in a tight hammerlock, and then an armbar, but when he tried to transition into the Ace Clutch, Hisato elbowed him in the face and then scurried over to the ropes to pull himself up. When the veteran charged in this time, Hisato was able to catch him with an enziguri followed by a poison rana, spiking Thunder right on the top of his head. Hisato then went up to the top rope, but he took his time due to his bad legs, and this may have been his worst mistake yet. This is because when he tried to nail the Jade Warrior Plunge, he stumbled a little bit on the top rope, giving Thunder a chance to leap to his feet and nail a running dropkick that sent Hisato flying into the barricade. Hisato was down for a while, but when he tried to get up to his feet Thunder came flying over the top with his trademark Lightning Plancha, the no hands swan dive senton bomb plancha. Both men stayed down after this, only just managing to roll back into the ring in time to not be counted out.

When they began to get up to their feet they engaged in an exchange of blows, but when Hisato tried to go for a roaring elbow Thunder was able to duck him and then send him overhead with a release German Suplex. He waited for Hisato to get up, and when the Elation Sensation did so, Thunder booted him in the gut and clubbed him over the back of the head before whipping him across the ring. The veteran Thunder chased after him and nailed the Gamengiri right to the face, flipping Hisato over backwards with the impact of the move. Thunder then went up top to try and go for the Thunder Shock, but he took a little too long taunting the crowd, allowing Hisato to leap onto the top rope in a nearby corner and nailed a running frankensteiner that sent Thunder right across the ring. The veteran yelled in pain and grabbed his back, and Hisato was quick to capitalise, as he nailed a running shooting star press before going for the cover.

One…
Two…
Thr..No!

Thunder kicked out just in time, causing Hisato to argue with the referee. This was yet another mistake by Hisato, as Thunder was able to roll him up and then locked him in the Ace Clutch, really driving his knee in the back of the younger veteran. Hisato screamed in pain and tried to reach the ropes, but Thunder had cinched it in right in the middle of the ring, so Hisato had nowhere to go. He continued to fight however, but eventually he passed out while in the move, and the referee called for the bell, with Thunder being announced the winner.

Winner: Awesome Thunder by pinfall in 18:15 – B+

We then see a quick hype video for the main event, even though we still have no idea who the mystery partner is.

B-

However, once Circle of Blood are in the ring, Dragon and Furusawa appear on the entrance ramp, but they don’t head down to the ring just yet. Furusawa seems to be smiling and is holding a microphone.

“Now I bet, knowing you three, you thought that I wouldn’t be able to find a partner for tonight. One who was willing to take on such a ‘gathering of talent’ such as yourselves. And, I’ll admit, to start with you were right. Most people that I thought off were too busy doing other things or just unavailable. And no other big names jumped out at me…until last night that is.”

His smile gets even bigger after saying this, but before he can speak again Dark EAGLE cuts him off.

“It doesn’t matter who you’ve got tonight, whenever he is demanding of a sacrifice those marked will always be slain.”

Furusawa shakes his head and then speaks.

“Could you hold back on your BS for a little bit please old man? Thankyou.”

The crowd laugh while Eagle fumes in the ring.

“As I was saying, this name sprang to mind. So this morning I called him, and after I told him of the situation, with you three running about beating people up for no reason, he was more than happy to come down here and beat the living hell out of you.”

He and Dragon then split, leaving a pathway on the entrance ramp.

“So let me introduce to you my partner for the night. He is a former GCG World Heavyweight and former GCG World Tag Team champion…and a close personal friend of mine. Ladies and gentlemen…SEIJI JIMBO!”

The crowd explode when Jimbo emerges from the back, while the Circle of Blood exchange slightly worried glances, except for Dark EAGLE, who has a smirk slowly etching its way across his face. Seiji embraces Dragon and Furusawa before the trio storm their way down to the ring.

Match 5: Jimbo, Dragon & Furusawa vs. Circle of Blood (Koki, Eagle & Daniels).

There was no need for a bell to kick off this match, with all six men engaging in a vicious brawl right off the bat. Dragon paired off with fellow veteran Ishibashi, while Furusawa battled Daniels and Jimbo fought Eagle, with there being no clear advantage for either side. Eventually the referee was able to gain some sort of control as he forced the teams to separate, leaving Dragon in the ring with Ishibashi. When the bell did ring, they locked up and instantly began their now trademark technical showdown, exchanging slick holds with each other until Dragon was able to steal control with a quick knee to the gut and a leg lock. From time to time he would wrench it back slightly just to make sure he did enough damage, but just when it seemed like he could have made Ishibashi tap out, Eagle flew into the ring and connected with a missile dropkick right to the side of the head. Furusawa bundled into the ring to save his partner and he cleaned house, throwing Eagle back out and flooring Daniels when the gaijin made an ill-fated attempt to help. The tag champs quickly hoisted up Ishibashi and whipped him across the ring, but when they tried to catch him with the Fire Driver V2, he countered with a double arm drag that sent the champs rolling across the ring and allowed the veteran time to scurry over to his corner and tag in Eagle.

Eagle came in with a quick dropkick to the face of Dragon and then pulled him back up to his feet before booting him in the gut and whipping him across the ring. He then leapfrogged the champ when he came back, only to flip him high into the air when he rebounded again. Dragon hit the mat hard, but still got up to his feet, albeit rather slowly, and then the two locked up. Eagle tried to steal advantage with a wrist wrench, occasionally twisting it more to add to the pressure, but Dragon refused to give up and he was able to reverse the hold and then batter away at his fellow veteran with several stiff punches before Eagle backed away to recover. Eagle then tried to take the champ off his feet before he could recover, but instead got caught with a dropsault right to the chin and then he got locked in a tight armbar. Eagle tried to scramble over to the ropes, but Dragon kept dragging him back every time he got close. The veteran still refused to give up though, so Dragon kicked him across the face before dragging him over to his corner and making the tag to Mabuchi. Furusawa then picked up where Dragon left off, but instead applied an inverted crucifix armbar, one of his trademark moves. Eagle was in a lot of pain at this point, but he had nowhere to go due to Furusawa literally sitting on his entire back and upper legs. Just when it seemed like he was going to tap, much like Ishibashi was earlier, Daniels came in and made the save, connecting with a big boot style move right to the jaw of Furusawa.

Furusawa fell backwards onto the mat and staggered up to his feet, dazed from the kick, enabling him to fall victim to an enziguri from Eagle who then went up to the top rope. He seemed ready to go for the Eagle Shock, but Dragon ran along the apron and then dropkicked him off, sending him flying into the crowd, which in turn sent the crowd into a frenzy. Furusawa got up to his feet, but when he had his back turned to climb to the outside, Daniels and Ishibashi clubbed him with a few stiff punches and then whipped him across the ring. Daniels tried to connect with a springboard clothesline, but Furusawa used his superior strength to nail a clothesline of his own on the gaijin, almost turning him inside out. Ishibashi was able to catch Furusawa with a drop toehold, and locked him in a leg lock, occasionally standing up to stomp away at his knee. Dragon had rolled Eagle back into the ring at this point, so Ishibashi soon returned to the apron. Both Furusawa and Eagle took a long time to get up to their feet, and when they did, they quickly started an exchange of blows. This may have been a mistake on the part of Eagle though, as he was the smaller and more battered of the two, and he soon fell prey to about five stiff forearms from the big man who then ran to the ropes. However, when Furusawa tried to hit a running back elbow, Eagle leapt into the air and caught him with a hurracanrana. The champ only just kicked out in time, but both men had now exhausted a lot of energy, leaving them down on the mat.

They slowly edged towards their respective corners, and a majority of the fans were on their feet as Furusawa got closer and closer, and they almost exploded when Jimbo got tagged in. Eagle then tagged in Ishibashi, and the veteran took the fight right to Seiji, with the two men going back and forth with several punches until Jimbo was able to get the upper hand and whip the veteran across the ring. When he came back, Jimbo tried for a clothesline, but Ishibashi ducked it, only to be caught with a double axe handle right to the chest that sent him straight down to the mat. Jimbo then pulled Ishibashi up to his feet and battered away at him with several vicious chops to the chest before booting him in the gut and throwing him overhead with a delayed suplex, but when he tried to go for a second one, Ishibashi countered with a few quick knees to the gut and then a swift uppercut to the jaw. Jimbo staggered backwards clutching his chin, allowing Ishibashi to run in and nail a dropkick to the knee, knocking Jimbo down. Ishibashi then tagged in Daniels, who was at the moment the freshest man in the mat, and the gaijin promptly leapt over the top rope and locked Jimbo in a tight grounded hammerlock. Jimbo struggled for a little while, but eventually his superior strength allowed him to fight his way to the ropes, and then clamber up to his feet. He had little time for a breather though, as Daniels quickly dropkicked him and then followed up with a running leg lariat that sent Jimbo over the top and to the outside.

All hell then broke loose as the remaining members of both teams filled the ring and began to brawl, but Eagle was left on his own as the tag champs paired off with Daniels and Ishibashi. The veteran saw this as his chance, as he quickly ran to the ropes, and when he saw Jimbo slowly getting up to his feet on the outside, he leapt over the top rope and connected with a no hands diving cross body splash, sending Jimbo flying backwards into the barricade. Neither man moved for a while, until Dragon came and helped Jimbo back in the ring, with Daniels quickly coming over and pulling Seiji up to his feet in the ring. Daniels fired off a few quick kicks to Jimbo before running to the ropes, but when he came back the second generation star caught him with a leaping kick to the jaw and then nailed an elbow drop before going for the cover. Ishibashi flew in with a double axe handle to the back of Jimbo, but the youngster managed to fight him off, only to get caught with a chop block from Daniels and then a leg lariat from Ishibashi that sent him down to the mat. Jimbo tried to get to his corner, but Daniels grabbed hold of his legs and locked him in a cross knee lock. This put Jimbo in a lot of pain, but this advantage seemed to go to Daniels head, as the gaijin loosened the hold slightly, but just enough to allow Jimbo to escape, kick Daniels in the face, and then scurry over to his corner to make the tag.

Furusawa ran in, and floored Daniels with a back elbow smash before then pulling him up to his feet. Eagle sensed what was coming next so he ran in and caught the youngster in the back of the head with an enziguri, allowing Daniels to then follow up with a head scissors. Furusawa quickly got up to his feet, and managed to fight off a double team, but Ishibashi then got involved, and he soon found himself on the wrong end of a triple team, with Eagle nailing a senton bomb, Daniels nailing a springboard leg drop, and Ishibashi nailing a snap elbow drive. Daniels then made the cover, but Jimbo ran in and booted him across the face, stunning him enough to allow Furusawa to get up to his feet. When he had recovered, Dean tried to remain in control, but Furusawa met each of his elbows with one of his own before stealing control away with a few kicks to the chest followed by a clothesline. He then called in Dragon before whipping Dean into the ropes, and when Dean rebounded the veteran gaijin tried to counter with a wheelbarrow bulldog, but he was soon put on the receiving end of the Fire Driver V2, which seemed to knock him out as his body went limp. Eagle and Ishibashi ran in, but Jimbo and Dragon fought them off and held them in the corners while Furusawa made the cover.

One…
Two…
Three!

Winner: Jimbo, Dragon and Furusawa by pinfall in 18:25 – B+

The moment the bell rang, Eagle let out a massive yell of anger before poking Dragon in the eye and kicking him in the groin. He went over and kicked Furusawa across the face and then nailed Jimbo with a twisting enziguri when the GCG superstar tried to attack him. When he noticed Dragon slowly getting up to his feet, he waited until he was on one knee, and then sprayed red mist in the gaijin champ’s eyes, causing him to scream in pain and roll out of the ring. Jimbo saw what happened and rolled out of the ring as well, but Furusawa met the same fate at the hands of Ishibashi as well. The champs retreated up the ramp, victorious but not completely scar free, while the Circle of Blood remained in the ring, staring down the trio.

Bulldozer Brandon Smith def. Burning EXILE – B-

Just as the show kicks off we are brought backstage to see Hitomi and Silver Shark in a vicious brawl. Shark seems to gain the upper hand until Hitomi is able to kick him in the gut and then bring a chair down across his back, flooring the veteran.

The youngster smiles before noticing a hot woman walks by, and chases after her, only to be sent reeling back into frame with a big slap mark on his face.

Match 1: Hidekazu vs. The Tic.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Hidekazu.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheTic.jpg

Hidekazu was looking to finally make an impact in this match, feeling he had in the bag due to the diminutive size of the Tic, but when he lazily approached the youngster, the Tic caught him off guard with a snap enziguri and then took him down with a head scissors. Hidekazu hopped up to his feet, slightly dazed, and ran towards the smaller man but stumbled and fell prey to a dropkick. The Tic then kept control of the match and took it to the mat, locking the veteran in a nice variety of holds and locks, but after a while he found himself going hold for hold with Hidekazu, whose own technical skills began to show through, and he was even able to turn the table on the Tic with a vicious looking leg hook. However, when he started to get a little too confident, the Tic was able to kick him in the head and then claw his way over to the ropes, forcing the veteran to release him. He hobbled slightly when he got up to his feet, but when Hidekazu ran in towards him, the Tic rebounded off the ropes and caught the veteran with a reverse DDT, spiking him right on his head.

The Tic then went up to the top rope, but Hidekazu was up and pulled him off, causing the smaller man to fly across the ring and crash onto his back. The youngster yelled in pain, but staggered to his feet. Hidekazu ran in again, and was able to catch the Tic with a back elbow before taking the match back to the mat. He locked in a tight armbar, but the Tic was able to kick him several times in the back of the head with his good leg, and eventually he was able to force the veteran away from him. Hidekazu slowly got up to his feet, waiting for the Tic to get up, but when the youngster did rise to his feet, instead of sending him back down to the mat with a clothesline, the Tic ducked the show and nailed a hurracanrana, with the veteran only just kicking out in time. The Tic got up quite quickly and ran to the ropes, diving through the veterans leg on the way back, and then connected with a handspring back elbow, catching Hidekazu right on the chin. The Tic then hopped up the top and when he saw Hidekazu getting up, he leapt off of the top and connected with the Tic Leap, getting the victory.

Winner: The Tic by pinfall in 7:48 – B

After a little celebration, the Tic grabs a microphone from ringside and then climbs back into the ring.

“A week ago, my former partner attacked me backstage saying that somebody was after my blood. All I have to say is that I am still here, and ready to get some damn revenge. Dean, you feel like you want to go around beating up anybody who does you any wrong, merely to please some non-existent being, and that just does not sit right with me. So this Sunday, at Pork: It’s What’s For Dinner, I challenge you to a match, and I may not have the size and the power to truly exact my revenge, but I have the tenacity of a pitbull, and the will to match. See you later Dean, and good luck tonight, you’re going to need it.”

He throws the mic down, with the crowd cheering him on, before heading to the back. When then cut to a quick commercial break.

While on the way down the ramp, Cyber Fighter 3000 breaks into dance, with most of the crowd seeming to join in.

Match 2: Antonio Maxi Marquez vs. Cyber Fighter 3000.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/ChampagneLover.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/CyberFighter3000.jpg

When the bell rang, Cyber Fighter tried to take Maxi down with a clothesline, but the larger gaijin was able to catch his arm and then wrench it behind the former tap out champ, and created such pressure that he forced Cyber down to one knee. However, Maxi began to showboat a little too much, and Cyber was able to find his way over the ropes, where he somersaulted out of the hold and then connected with a dropkick right to the shoulder of the gaijin, sending Maxi staggering to the side. Cyber then tried to follow up with a running head scissors but the gaijin countered it by throwing Cyber off and then nailing a slingshot suplex before going for the cover. Cyber kicked out just in time, but he soon found himself stuck on the mat, as Maxi began to work on his arms, both to just weaken him up but also to set him up for the Champagne Breakfast. However, just when it seemed like the gaijin was going to lock in his patented finisher, Cyber fought his way out and then got up to his feet where he nailed Maxi with a dropkick before hitting a rolling neckbreaker, getting amazing snap to it. Maxi rolled around on the mat clutching his head before slowly getting up to his feet, but the second that he did so he was sent right back down with a running back elbow right to the jaw.

Cyber then took the match into his own hands with a leg lock, trying to take away the Mexican gaijin’s superior agility, but this was a bit of a mistake as he soon found himself going hold for hold with Maxi, and then on the wrong end of a tight underhook armbar. Maxi applied as much pressure as possible, even placing the point of his knee right into the back of the former champion. He almost had Cyber tapping out, but then the fans began to get behind him, and the ‘Star of the Future’ took their energy and summoned the rest of his own energy, fighting his way to his feet and then connecting with a head scissors. Maxi slowly got up to his feet, slightly dazed, and he fell prey to a springboard missile dropkick. Cyber then connected with a few sharp elbows to the sternum and then tried to pull the Mexican gaijin back up to his feet for the Cyber Hack, but Maxi was able to catch him off guard with an uppercut followed by a series of stiff forearms to the face. Cyber went stumbling backwards into the corner, but was able to kick the gaijin in the face when Maxi chased after him. He then tried to pull Maxi up to the top rope with him, but again he found a lot of resistance from the gaijin, who fought all the way up, firing off elbows and punches left, right and centre. When he tried to go for a hurracanrana though, Cyber was able to batter away at his chest with several punches, stunning him enough to then lift the gaijin into the air and nailed the Cyber Hack, the devastating Top Rope Vertical Suplex Side Slam. Maxi flipped over upon impact, and Cyber hooked the leg, getting the morale boosting victory heading into his title match this Sunday.

While Cyber Fighter was celebrating, Bussho Makiguchi emerged from the back and tried to surprise his challenger, but when he got close to the ring, the various clones that had been haunting and scared the living heck out of him last week appeared from under the ring. They formed a protective circle around the ring, where Cyber Fighter dared the champ to enter the ring, but Bussho was scared stiff, with his face being almost pale white. Before we go to a commercial break, the final image we have is of Bussho Makiguchi hightailing it up the ramp while the clones advance on him, while Cyber dances in the middle of the ring.

Match 3: Dean Daniels vs. Yuki Horigoshi.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DeanDaniels.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/YukiHorigoshi.jpg

This was a great match by these guys standards, as Dean really seems to be taking his game up to a new level as of late. When the bell rang, the two men locked up, and engaged in a few quick standing switches before Dean clubbed the youngster in the back of the head with a sharp elbow and then brought him down to the mat with a scissored armbar. Yuki struggled desperately to try and get out of it, but he was too far from the ropes, as Dean would drag him back into the middle whenever the youngster tried to move. However, Yuki was able to fight his way back up to his feet eventually when he rolled backwards so he could kick the veteran several times in the face. When he got up to his feet, Dean tried to take him back down with a clothesline, but Yuki ducked underneath and ran to the ropes, rebounding with a leaping shoulder block to the veteran before cinching in a tight grounded hammerlock. Yuki then went about locking in several quick holds, targeting the whole body, but this was a mistake, as Dean was able to quickly roll away during a transition, and then kipped up into a hurracanrana on the youngster, who rolled out of the ring in pain, falling to the floor below.

The veteran Dean took a little time to get some breath back, but when he noticed Yuki was already getting up to his feet, he ran to the ropes and connected with a cannonball plancha that sent the youngster tumbling into the barricade. Both men were down for a little while, with Dean being the first person up and into the ring, followed closely by Yuki. When Dean tried to pull the youngster up to his feet, Yuki caught him with an uppercut and then nailed a series of stiff forearms before running to the ropes. However, when he tried to connect with a spinning elbow smash, Dean dove underneath him and then nailed a flip senton. The veteran then took out his frustrations with several strong kicks to the gut and sternum before nailing an elbow drop. Yuki struggled to breathe as he staggered to his feet, only to get caught with an enziguri that sent him stumbling forwards. Dean then kicked him in the gut before pulling him in close and nailing the Cradle Piledriver, really driving him into the mat viciously. Yuki bounced off of the mat upon impact, and Dean easily covered him to get the victory.

Winner: Dean Daniels by pinfall in 14:44 – B+

After the match, we go backstage to see Seiji Jimbo talking with some staff and other wrestlers, when Magnum KOBE walks up to him and taps him on the shoulder. Seiji turns around and looks down at KOBE, who promptly outstretches his hand.

“Let me just say it is an honour Seiji, to meet both a former World Champion and the son of such as legend as Sadaharu Jimbo.”

Seiji shakes his hand with a smile.

“I’m glad to meet you too KOBE, I’ve been hearing a lot of hype about you in recent years, and after watching a couple of your past matches, I must say I’m impressed.”

Kobe laughs for a little bit before placing his hands on his waist.

“Thankyou, and likewise with you. I have a little challenge for you if you’re willing to accept it.”

“Go on.”

“I know you were really only supposed to wrestle for us on Wednesday, but how about you and me have a match this Sunday, to really show both the fans and the veteran what a show we can put on.”

Seiji thinks it over for a second, smiles and shakes Kobe’s hand.

“You’re on, I look forward to it.”

The fans can be heard cheering before Seiji walks down the hall, while KOBE is sporting a massive grin.

Match 4: Dragon & Furusawa vs. Above & Below

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EmeraldAngel.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HellMonkey.jpg

This was the tag champions against the dream team, and naturally it lived up to its expectations, as these four men pulled out an amazing match. The second the bell was rung, Dragon and Hell Monkey locked up, and quickly took the match to the mat, exchanging hold after hold with neither man gaining any sort of advantage at all. Eventually it was the more experienced Dragon who was able to steal the first control of the match, locking in a tight leg lock, but when he tried to transition it into a standing ankle lock, Hell showed why he is one of the most highly rated workers in the world when he leapt off his feet and nailed a spinning enziguri right to the jaw, flipping Dragon over upon impact. Hell was then the first person up to his feet, and he laid into the British champion with several brutal stomps and knees before finally pulling up to his feet. He then whipped Dragon into the ropes, but instead of nailing a leaping kick, he found himself on the wrong end of a springboard moonsault, taking him to the mat. Dragon then took the match right back to the mat, locking Hell in several tight and vicious looking holds, but when he tried to go for the Wrath of the Skies, a straight jacket surfboard, Hell Monkey resisted and pushed his arms away while fighting his way to his feet. When he did, he laid into Dragon with a stunning array of lightning fast kicks to the chest and head before kicking him in the gut. He signalled to the crowd before nailing his trademark hesitation kick, sending Dragon to the mat. He then went over to his corner and tagged in Angel, who eagerly leaped over the top rope.

He tried to take up where his partner left off, hitting Dragon with several quick paced aerial manoeuvres, but he went for one too many, because when he went for a springboard corkscrew senton, he crashed and burn on the top of Dragon’s knees, as the veteran had lifted them up just before he landed. The youngster rolled around in pain, clutching his back, allowing Dragon some time to recover. Eventually the veteran gaijin got up to his feet and nailed a few quick leg drops before locking Angel in a single leg Boston Crab. Angel screamed in pain and tried to reach the ropes, but every time he got just close enough to be able to grab them, the gaijin dragged him back into the middle. When Dragon started to lean back and sit on the back of the former Universal Champion, Hell Monkey ran in with a stiff kick to the back of the head, knocking Dragon to the mat and stunning him. Hell then helped his partner up to the mat and together they whipped him across the ring, but got met with a double arm drag from the veteran, sending Hell tumbling out of the ring again. Dragon then tried to pull Angel to the mat, but got met with a strong uppercut followed by a backflip kick to the jaw, sending the gaijin to the mat. Angel then went up to the top rope, but when he tried to come off with a beautiful Moonsault Dragon rolled out of the way just in time then connected with a baseball slide dropkick to the face, stunning the youngster. He then pulled the youngster back up and whipped him across the ring, but when he tried to floor Angel with a quick back elbow, the youngster leapt into the air and connected with a beautiful head scissors, spinning around nearly four times before snapping it off.

Dragon rolled to the outside, and was really starting to feel the effects of being in the ring for so long, struggling to get up to his feet. However, when he did, Angel connected with the Emerald Plancha, his trademark running shooting star press to the outside, where he clears the top rope upon the backflip. Dragon took the full brunt of the move, and was easily rolled back into the ring for the cover, with Mabuchi having to run in and break it up. Hell ran in to prevent any double teaming, and was able to send the young Mabuchi staggering backwards with a few kicks and elbows, but when he went to whip Mabuchi across the ring the youngster reversed it and whipped Hell across the ring instead. The experienced gaijin adapted quickly however, and caught Mabuchi with the visually amazing springboard twisting kick to the face, flipping Mabuchi over with the force of the move, which was quite a feat considering the young Furusawa was the biggest man in the match by quite a way. Monkey then double teamed Dragon, by again it proved fruitless, with the veteran champ pulling off a very rare move from him, a double Dragon Drop after springboarding off the ropes. He then slowly crawled to his corner before making the hot tag to Mabuchi, who came in like a house of fire, taking both Angel and Hell down with a variety of elbows, punches, and kicks. The numbers game quickly caught up with him however, as he found himself on the wrong end of a double suplex from the dream team. Order was restored when Hell went back to the apron, only to be tagged in again by Angel. The young Angel then went to the apron while Hell came in and began to batter away at Mabuchi, but when he tried to go for a buzzsaw kick, Mabuchi ducked underneath it and then threw the gaijin to the mat with an inverted dragon screw leg whip.

He then began to work over the legs and arms of the experienced Hell Monkey, and came close to locking in the Furusawa Armbar, but the gaijin sensed it was coming and scurried over to the ropes to prevent the youngster from cinching it in. Mabuchi tried to drag him back into the middle, but he was on the wrong end of an enziguri followed by a springboard head scissors from the gaijin, and soon found himself fighting a losing battle, as Monkey showed near superhuman recovery while battering away with vicious strikes. However, when Monkey tried to go for the Hell Fire Kick after whipping Mabuchi into the ropes, the youngster was able to avoid the kick and then lifted the gaijin into the air for a wheelbarrow facebuster. Dragon hastily ran into the ring as well and helped nail the Fire Driver V2, but just as they went for the cover Angel flew in with a moonsault to break it up. The young Angel then set about lighting the ring on fire, as he raced around it hitting stunning move after stunning move, only to be caught with a lariat from Mabuchi when he tried to take Dragon down with a dropkick. After a little while of domination from the tag champs, with Mabuchi cinching in a tight crucifix armbar, before changing to a seated armbar, Hell was able to summon his remaining energy to get over to his corner and tag in Angel, who then flew over the ropes with a twisting splash, landing right on top of the young Mabuchi. Furusawa struggled to get up to his feet, only to be sent down again with a tilt-a-whirl head scissors. Angel got a bit overzealous however, as he ran to the ropes one too many times, allowing Dragon to slingshot himself in with a diving clothesline that flipped Angel over onto his stomach. The tag champs then nailed the Fire Driver V2 again, and Mabuchi went for the cover while Dragon dealt with Hell Monkey, connecting with a handspring moonsault plancha, an impressive move for a man his age, to his fellow gaijin on the outside. The fans exploded when the referee made the three count, giving the tag champions an amazing morale boosting victory heading into their match this Sunday.

Winner: Dragon & Furusawa by pinfall in 17:53 – A

After a while of celebrating, Hell Monkey enters the ring and gets up close to the champions, seemingly seething with anger at his loss. However, just when he it seems like he is about to hit one of them, he extends his hand instead to both Dragon and Furusawa, shaking their hands with a look of pride on his face before raising both their hands.

Angel on the other hand stormed up the ramp looking like a little child who didn’t get what he wanted.

B

Then we see some figures race past Angel as the Circle of Blood run down to the ring and attack all three men, with Hell Monkey being the only to fight them off, managing to escape to the outside. Mabuchi and Dragon were not so lucky, with Dragon being incredibly exhausted after being in the match for so long, and he easily fell prey to the assault. The Circle then raise their arms to the heavens before leaving the ring, with the tag champions lying in pools of their own blood.

B+

After a break, we come back to see Angry Gilmore in the ring with a microphone.

“A lot of you are probably wondering who my partner will be tonight, and I am finally ready to reveal him. For the past few weeks, this man has been on the same mission as me, trying to rid us of the rule breakers and the people who taint this world every day with their presence, such as Awesome Thunder and Rhino Umaga. Last week, I was brutally attacked by Umaga for no reason whatsoever, and now I am ready to get my revenge. This man is one of the best youngsters this business has ever produced, and he has done his father proud on several occasions already.”

He smiles quite eagerly as he motions to the back.

“Ladies and gentlemen, GREG GAUGE!!”

The crowd go wild when Greg comes out, though not as loud as usual, as they were probably expecting an outside wrestler to be Gilmore’s partner.

However, when Greg and Gilmore embrace in the middle of the ring, we hear an evil laugh as Mr Miwa emerges from the back, with Umaga in tow.

“Are you serious? Your partner for the night is a boy who is still too young to know what reproduction is? Now you see, that is why both me and my client are far better than you two put together, because we put a lot of thought into our plans. The partner we picked for tonight is somebody who we know would be able to rip you limb from limb, somebody who has no problems destroying everything in his path. Greg Gauge, it would serve you best to leave that ring now, as I’m sure the fans would hate to see such a young lad struck down in his prime, because my new client couldn’t care less who you were.”

Gauge and Gilmore are gesturing for Miwa to just introduce him already, and Miwa laughs again.

“Good to know you are both so eager to get to your own destruction, because this man put the Destruction in Samoan Destruction Inc. That’s right, my new client, who up until recently worked for Burning Hammer, is Samoan Machine!”

The fans explode into boos as the former three time GCG World Tag, one time Burning World Tag team champion, Samoan Machine emerges from the back and embraces his former partner Rhino Umaga.

Match 5: Samoan Destruction Inc. w/Mr Miwa vs. Angry Gilmore & Greg Gauge.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/RhinoUmaga.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SamoanMachine.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AngryGilmore.jpghttp://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/GregGauge.jpg

This was going to be one hell of a brutal match, as Rhino and Machine are famed for. It delivered on that hype, as the second the bell rang, just like on the last show, all four men charged in at the same time and a massive brawl ensued. Gilmore was able to hold his own against Rhino, while Gauge found himself completely out of his depth against Samoan Machine, who was able to throw around the much younger man with ease. When the referee was finally able to get the match under control, it was Rhino Umaga in against what was left of Greg Gauge, as the young gaijin was nowhere near in a fighting state after Machine had battered him during the brawl. Rhino had a field day, as he began to toy with Gauge, lifting him up to his feet only to slap him back down to the mat, repeatedly doing this while a smile slowly crept across his face. However, he got a little too overconfident for his own good, as he lazily whipping Gauge across the ring into the corner, and when he tried to follow up with an avalanche, Gauge was able to flip over him with amazing agility, though still dazed, and then tried to go for a Tiger Suplex. This was a mistake though, as Rhino was just too heavy to lift, and the Samoan easily reversed it with a few stiff elbows right to the jaw before throwing Gauge up and over with a hip toss. Rhino then stomped away at the youngster before pulling up to his feet again, and this time Greg nailed several quick elbows to try and stall the monsters momentum, but it was to no avail, as Rhino just lifted him up and then brought him down with a spinebuster.

Gauge yelled out in pain upon hitting the match, and slowly tried to reach the ropes, but just as he was about to tag in Gilmore, he found himself being dragged back into the middle, where Rhino promptly kicked him across the side of the head and locked him in a leg lock, weakening him up for the Samoan Crab. He almost bent the poor youngster in half with the move, but just when it seemed like Gauge was going to tap out, the first time since he debuted in 2009 that he ever tapped out, but Gilmore ran in and connected with a dropkick to the face of Rhino. The fans then went crazy as the gaijin leapt on top of Rhino and began to batter away with shot after shot to the big man, but just when he tried to run to the ropes to connect with a springboard moonsault, Samoan Machine ran along the apron and kicked him in the back, leaving him open for Umaga to charge in and clothesline Gilmore over the top rope to the floor below. Rhino then went right back to work on Gauge, before tagging in Machine, who promptly went about stomping away at the youngsters back and stomach before pulling him up to his feet. He then whipped Greg across the ring, and when he returned the threw the youngster into the air before catching him and bringing him down again with a flapjack, with Greg flipping over upon impact due to the sheer force behind the move. Machine pulled him back up and fired away with several elbows before kicking Gauge in the gut, doubling him over. Machine then tried to go for a back suplex, but Gauge was able to flip out of the move and then bring the big man down with a leaping sleeper slam. Gauge struggled to reach his corner, and Machine was able to grab his foot before he did so, only for Gauge to connect with a leaping back spin kick that nailed Machine right in the jaw. Gauge then leapt the final bit of distance and tagged in Gilmore, causing the crowd to erupt with cheers.

Gilmore ran in and took both Machine and Rhino down with several back elbows, but when he tried to whip Rhino across the ring he was met with a lot of resistance followed by the champ pulling him into a Headbutt. Gilmore went straight to the mat and looked totally dazed, allowing Umaga and Machine to pull him up and whip him across the ring. Machine ran across the ring horizontally while Rhino charged straight at Gilmore, taking him off his feet with a spear, while Machine ran back and nailed a vicious running big boot to the side of head. Gilmore seemed to be out of it, and Rhino eagerly hooked the leg.

One…
Two…
Thre..NO!

Gilmore kicked out just in time, causing the crowd to erupt again, and Mr Miwa to leap up and down on the outside furiously. Rhino pulled Gilmore back up to his feet and whipped him across the ring, only to get caught with the Picture Perfect Moonsault. Gilmore eagerly hooked the leg this time, but Machine was right there to break it up almost immediately, kicking Gilmore in the face. Greg Gauge, who had been near immobile on the ring apron ran in at this point and began to batter away at the bigger man, but got sent down to the mat with a quick short arm lariat. Machine tried to then whip Gauge out of the ring himself, but the smaller man was able to counter at the last moment with a head scissors that sent Machine tumbling out of the ring. Rhino noticed this and decimated the young Gauge with a vicious lariat to the back of the head, knocking him clean out and causing him to roll out of the ring. Gilmore slowly got up to his feet as well, but just when he began to sneak up on Umaga, Miwa called out to his client and the champ quickly spun around and caught Gilmore with a spinning back hand blow that sent Gilmore reeling.

However, when he tried to follow up, Gilmore nailed an enziguri and then dropkick the champ out of the ring. Gauge had rolled back in, and Gilmore helped him up before whispering something to him. Both men then looked at their two opponents, nodded and then ran to the ropes, both nailing wicked diving planchas after leaping over the top rope. Gilmore was the first man back in, but Umaga was able to grab his foot and then dragged him back out again. Gilmore tried to fight the champ off, but Rhino just shrugged off his blows and whipping his challenger into the barricade and then into the ring apron. Gilmore dropped down to one knee, but Rhino wasn’t done just yet, as he heaved his opponent into a bearhug before running to the ring post and ramming Gilmore back first into the steel pole. Gilmore let out a massive yell of agony as he fell to the floor and rolled around, but he had no time to recover as Rhino, after looking over the carnage with a sick smile on his face, pulled Gilmore up to his feet and then rolled him back into the middle of the ring. Rhino eagerly rolled back into the ring after him and began to stalk him, circling around his challenger. However, just as he was about to charge in, Greg Gauge slingshotted himself over his partner and caught Rhino with a back elbow, sending him down to the mat. Greg then took the chance to recover and then woke up his partner, who pulled Rhino Umaga up to his feet. Just as he was about to nail the Anger Management though, Samoan Machine rushed in and floored him with a big boot. Gauge tried to take the big man down with a reverse DDT, but soon found himself driven into the mat with an inverted piledriver, knocking him out cold. Machine then went to set up Gilmore for the Samoan Driver, a vicious back cradle piledriver, but Gilmore was able to resist and then somehow turned it around into a hurracanrana that sent him out of the ring. Gilmore then saw Rhino getting up to his feet, ran towards him, but was caught with the Rhino Charge that almost broke him in two. Rhino went to the hook the leg, but the bell sounded, signifying that the time limit had expired for this match.

Winner: Draw by time limit expiry at 20:00 – A

Rhino, Machine and Mr Miwa were absolutely livid at this result, having not been told about a time limit, and all three set about destroying Gilmore and Gauge, leaving them both a bloody mess in the ring, just a day before their respective matches.

No news this week.

Card

WLW: Pork: It’s What’s For Dinner

Dean Daniels vs. The Tic

To kick off the show we have a match to settle the dispute between two former partners and tag champions. Following a tag team loss a few weeks ago, Dean attacked the Tic backstage, leaving him out cold, and then seemed to join the Circle of Blood. However, he has become the whipping boy as such, being the person who is pinned or just not used during the match. Could this lack of success while the Tic seemed to be skyrocketing lead to a victory for the smaller man? Or will Dean prove the critics wrong with a victory and prove he was right in dumping his partner?

Silver Shark© vs. Nariaki Hitomi
For the World Level Show Stealer Title.

Silver Shark hopes to hold on to his title as he takes on the big youngster Nariaki Hitomi. Will Hitomi be able to make it count and pick up both the win and the belt? Or will Shark show why he is the champ and such a respected star by getting the win himself? Will the champ be in any condition to wrestle either after being taken out with a vicious chair shot from Hitomi just last night?

Bussho Makiguchi© vs. Cyber Fighter 3000
For the World Level Tap Out title.

A turn around of what we had last month, with Cyber Fighter using his rematch clause to try and take back his title. Bussho has not been his usual c0cky self as of late, instead seemingly scared out of his skin on a regular basis, mainly brought on by seeing the Cyber clones. Will he even show up for the match?

Magnum KOBE vs. Seiji Jimbo

This was a rather quickly made match up, with KOBE challenging Jimbo this match yesterday, but it is set to be quite a blockbuster, as these two are already very successful youngsters with talent to spare. Who will pick up the win, the outsider Seiji Jimbo, or the resident shooting star Magnum KOBE?

Dragon & Furusawa© vs. Circle of Blood (KOKI & EAGLE)
For the World Level Tag Team Titles.

Circle of Blood have not been successful match-wise against the champions as of late, as they try and take back their titles, but have continually attacked the champions after their matches, including blinding them with red mist. Can Circle of Blood, who left the champs a bloody mess yesterday as well, snatch back their titles? Or will Dragon and Furusawa defy the odds and retain?

Koshiro Ino vs. Haru Kurofuji

Koshiro Ino took offence to what Kurofuji had to say a few weeks ago, and went he tried to talk to Haru about, the veteran Haru attacked him, and one week later left him a bloody mess in the ring. The following week, Ino came back with a new attitude and red face pain, appearing a lot angrier that usual. Will this new attitude lead to the victory? Or will his rage blind him such that Kurofuji is able to pick up the win?

Awesome Thunder w/Mr Miwa vs. Greg Gauge

Another feud that has been brewing for the past couple of weeks, with Greg Gauge challenging Thunder in order to have the chance to prove his worth with a victory over one of the most established stars in WLW history. However, Mr Miwa had other plans, and has tried to stop this match from happening, but it was to no avail, with management booking this match for tonight. Can Gauge achieve his dream and beat Thunder? Or will the ace of WLW prove why he holds that position?

Rhino Umaga© w/Mr Miwa vs. Angry Gilmore
For the World Level Universal title.

Yet again, we have a hotly anticipated match up in the main event, this time with Rhino Umaga making his first defence of the gold against fellow gaijin Angry Gilmore. For weeks these two have been going back and forth, but Gilmore seemed to be on the losing end. That got turned around during the recent tag match, where Gilmore was able to have Rhino in trouble a couple of times, but yet again by the end of it seemed like Rhino Umaga had his challengers number, as he was able to floor him with the Rhino Charge two seconds before the time limit expiry, resulting in a draw. Can Gilmore overcome the champ to pick up his first world title? Or will the Samoan Wrecking Ball continue his path of destruction?

Dean Daniels vs. The Tic

I'll go the other way and say that Tic gets the upset, to further Daniels position as the Circles resident whipping boy

Silver Shark© vs. Nariaki Hitomi – World Level Show Stealer

Hitomi's 'ravishing' gimmick is fun, but he's not good enough of a wrestler to be carry a title. Then again I can talk, I've just put a title on Hells Bouncer in my diary

Bussho Makiguchi© vs. Cyber Fighter 3000 – World Level Tap Out

The whole clones things with Cyber Fighter, suddenly makes this feud a whole lot more interesting. I'll go for Cyber Fighter to win but via some way (probably countout) that means that Bussho wins the title

Magnum KOBE vs. Seiji Jimbo (DRAW)

Difficult one to call, Magnum did well in the Universal Title tournament, but hasn't done much of note since, whilst Jimbo obviously hasn't entered WLW to make up the numbers. I'm going to go for a time limit draw....yeah cop out answer I know, but I really can't decide on this one

Dragon & Furusawa© vs. Circle of Blood – World Level Tag Team

Dragon & Furusawa seem to have the edge in this feud, when it comes to actually winning the matches and whilst it wouldn't suprise me if the Circle won, I'm not backing against the Tag champs

Koshiro Ino vs. Haru Kurofuji

Ino's rage will boil over and Kurofuji will use that to pick up a cheap DQ win. I can see this feud going on for a few months yet.

Awesome Thunder vs. Greg Gauge

Thunder's experience will pay dividends

Rhino Umaga© vs. Angry Gilmore– World Level Universal

This has the classic against the odds build, but I just see this feud continuing for at-least another month and I see Rhino getting the win via some form of interference.

Dean Daniels vs. The Tic
Never bet against Tigerkinney - it's bad luck.

Silver Shark© vs. Nariaki Hitomi – World Level Show Stealer
Alright, sometimes you can. I go for gimmick over talent in this one :D.

Bussho Makiguchi© vs. Cyber Fighter 3000 – World Level Tap Out
I'm 0 for about 100 so far with picking Cyber to win these pesky singles bouts, but I stick with my guns.

Magnum KOBE vs. Seiji Jimbo
If one Circle member loses, then one has to win, right?

Dragon & Furusawa© vs. Circle of Blood – World Level Tag Team
Circle of Blood have been strong lately (minus Machino), and so I can see them taking the belts in this one no problem.

Koshiro Ino vs. Haru Kurofuji

A strong feud so far, and I'd hate to see it ended so early. I'm going with Kurofuji to keep things going.

Awesome Thunder vs. Greg Gauge
This one was an either or for me; Gauge has been fantastic lately, but his deal seems to be as the underdog, so I could give Thunder the win. However, Thunder is getting up there in years by this point, so with Gauge in the position to be passed the torch I can easily see Thunder being the man to do it. Still, I went with Thunder here, and going one step further and giving this MotN prediction.

Rhino Umaga© vs. Angry Gilmore– World Level Universal
Once again, this feud has been great, and I still see some life left in it, so I'm picking Umaga to retain to keep things going.

Pre-Show

Hell Monkey def. Burning EXILE - C
Emerald Angel def. Burning EXILE – B – Exile refused to re-sign with us, so I jobbed him out in the pre-show hehe.

We see a quick hype video for our first match tonight, the Tic vs. Dean Daniels, showing some highlights of their matches together and Daniels vicious assault on the Tic a while ago.

C+

Match 1: Dean Daniels vs. The Tic.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DeanDaniels.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheTic.jpg

This was a brilliant opener for what looks set to be a brilliant night, with each man really going all out against each other, bringing realism to the story of hatred between the two. When the bell rang, Daniels charged right in and managed to take the Tic off his feet with a back elbow before connecting with a vicious series of stomps right to the chest. The smaller Tic tried to get back up to his feet, but the veteran gaijin Dean kept him on the mat with hold after hold, mainly targeting the legs of the youngster in order to take away his speed advantage. It seemed to take it’s effect almost instantly when the Tic began to ease his resistance, but just as Dean began to loosen a hold out of ****iness, Tic took the chance and scurried over to the ropes, forcing his rival to back off. The youngster used the ropes to pull himself up to his feet, but he found himself on the outside of the ring when Daniels took advantage of the Tic’s weakened state and dropkicked him over the top rope. He took his time getting back up to his feet, but Daniels had already flown over the top while he was doing so, and came crashing down upon the youngster with a twisting splash.

Both men were down for a while, but managed to get back into the ring before they were counted out. The Tic tried to steal away the control with a few stiff kicks with his better leg right to the chest of Dean, but the veteran showed his genuine toughness when he just took shot after shot and then slowly got up to his feet. The Tic ran to the ropes to try and connect with a flying Headscissors, but Dean caught him mid-route with a clothesline that turned him inside out. From that point on it seemed to be all Dean, with him easily dominating the smaller man with a smug look on his face. However, he took far too long to set up the Cradle Piledriver, allowing Tic counter it into a hurracanrana followed by a running dropkick to the face. Dean staggered up to his feet and chased after the Tic when he ran to the ropes, but was caught with a corkscrew moonsault press style manoeuvre, allowing the Tic to then get up to the top rope. He showed the effect once again that the earlier assault had done to his knees, as he took quite a while to climb the turnbuckles, but when Dean was up to his feet, he worked through the pain and leapt off the top, connecting with a visually devastating Tic Leap, and then hooked the leg. The referee began the count, and the Tic had managed to get the better of his rival for now. When he was heading back up the ramp, favouring his left knee, Dean had a look of utter despair on his face before throwing a tantrum in the ring.

Winner: The Tic by pinfall in 11:31 – B+

However, before the Tic could make it to the back, the Circle of Blood storm out of the back and beat him down, with Dean eagerly rushing down to join in. Due to his bad knee, he is unable to put up much of a fight, and is dragged backstage by the Circle a bloody mess.

C+

After a quick break, we return to see Tap Out champion Bussho Makiguchi walking down the halls, a smug look on his face. However, just as he rounds a corner, he bumps into one of the Cyber Fighter clones. He recoils in horror before bumping into another and then falling to the floor. He tries desperately to find an exit, but each time he opens a door or turns a corner, another clone appears.

Realising there is no escape, he slumps into a corner and starts rocking back and forth before being yanked into a room by somebody. The camera focuses on this person, revealing it to be interviewer Seiho Kuroda. He has a similar look of fright on his face.

“You see them too?”

Bussho takes a little while to catch his breath before speaking.

“I had everything under control there, why did you grab me?”

“I was trying to help you before you left a mess on the floor.”

The crowd laughs loudly while a look of anger crosses Bussho’s face.

“I don’t need your help, I’m outta here.”

He opens the door, but immediately shuts it when he sees five clones in the doorway staring at him. He turns around to Seiho, and speaks in a high pitched voice, as he seems about ready to faint.

“I think I’ll stay here for a while.”

Seiho chuckles to himself while Bussho goes and sits in the corner.

C

Match 2: Silver Shark© vs. Nariaki Hitomi.
For the World Level Show Stealer title.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NariakiHitomi_alt.jpg

This was perhaps one of the best matches of young Hitomi’s career, as the veteran Shark really helped to bring out the best in him. From the moment the bell rang, it seemed like Hitomi was going to easily dominate this match from start to finish, as he was much larger than Shark and a lot stronger, and Hitomi realised this. However, it all went to his head, as he began to take too long to pull off a majority of his moves, allowing the champion to easily escape them and steal control. Hitomi tried to take the champ off his feet with a running big boot, but Shark was able to duck it and then trip him up with a leg sweep, and then took the match to the mat. The veteran tried to keep the big man down, focusing mainly on his arms and head, but Hitomi proved to be just too powerful for the gaijin, as he managed to power out of a grounded headlock, and then threw the veteran up and over with a modified back body drop. Hitomi then took the match to the mat himself, something that the fans weren’t expecting, and he showed some decent skill, having the champ in trouble a couple of times, including almost making him tap out to a strong single leg boston crab, but Shark was able to fight his way over to the ropes.

The veteran then used the ropes to pull himself up to his feet, but he barely had any time to recuperate before Hitomi charged in and began to batter away at him with stiff punches and chops that eventually sent Shark down to the mat again. The youngster quickly pulled Shark back up though and whipped him across the ring, but the veteran surprised him by attempting a springboard moonsault press, knocking Hitomi down. Shark began to work on the youngster’s arms again, and he seemed to be having some success, as he almost had the big man tapping out to a mounted arm bar, but Hitomi’s strength showed through once again, as he was able to force his way over to the ropes with fairly little effort. Shark kicked him in the gut when he was slowly rising to his feet before running to the ropes, but when he came back, Hitomi surprised him with a snap powerslam out of nowhere, dumping the veteran gaijin right on his neck, and then went for the cover. Shark seemed to be out of it, but he was able to kick out, maybe purely on instinct, just after the two count.

Hitomi pulled Shark back up to his feet, booted him in the gut, and then tried to take him up and over with a spinning suplex, but Shark flipped out of the move and connected with a hurracanrana, sending the big man tumbling across the ring. When the youngster began to get to his feet, Shark tried to charge in and send him over the top with a clothesline, but the big man caught him with a clothesline of his own, and then chucked the champion over the top himself. Both men took some time to get their breath back, but when Shark got to his feet, Hitomi pulled off a move that many people didn’t think he could do, as he ran to the ropes and then connected with a no hands plancha dive right over the top rope, flooring the champion. The crowd applauded this move, as it was no easy feat for a man of Hitomi’s size. However, when Hitomi rolled the champ back into the ring, he got a little overconfident again, as he continually slapped the veteran across the face each time after hitting a move. One final slap seemed to be one too many for Shark, as the gaijin suddenly leapt into the air and connected with an enziguri to the big man, sending him to the mat. He waited for Hitomi to get back to his feet, and the second he turned around Shark ran in and nailed the Deep Sea Snap, sending him back down. The champ promptly made the cover, and managed to get the victory.

Winners: Silver Shark by pinfall in 11:51 - B

We then see a quick hype video for the Bussho Makiguchi vs. Cyber Fighter match.

C-

We then go backstage to see Cyber Fighter 3000 being interviewed by an unfamiliar man, as Seiho seems to still be locked in the room we saw him in earlier.

“Cyber Fighter, tonight you have a chance to win back your championship from Bussho Makiguchi.”

“Affirmative.”

“Do you have any thoughts on the match?”

As Cyber speaks…well…beeps, he gestures with his hands as if he was speaking actual words.

“Beep beep…beepity boop bop beep.”

“Right…very well then.”

“Beep.”

“One question that has been on everybody’s minds is what is with these clones?”

“Beep?”

“The other versions of you.”

“Beep…I am version 3000 of the Cyber Fighter technology, which means there are 2,999 previous versions.”

“Oh, alright. Good luck tonight.”

“Beep.”

Match 3: Bussho Makiguchi© vs. Cyber Fighter 3000.
For the World Level Tap Out title.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/CyberFighter3000.jpg

When Bussho came out to the ring, his face was the palest anybody had ever seen it, and he continually shot glances behind and to the side of him, afraid that one of the clones might show up. When he got in the ring, this paranoia affected the match from the very beginning, as Cyber was easily able to take control of the match with a snapmare followed by a tight Chinlock. Bussho tried to fight his way back up to his feet, but just when he got up to his knees, Cyber kneed him in the face before pulling him up to his feet and flipped him over with another snapmare. This time the champ was a bit too close to the ropes, and he was able to place his leg on the bottom rope, forcing Cyber to back away, but the challenger made his message clear with a stiff kick to the spine of the champ. Bussho took his time getting back up to his feet, and Cyber tried to send him back down with a running back elbow, but Bussho was able to duck it and then nailed a release tiger suplex, causing Cyber to fly through the air and land face first. This stunned the challenger quite heavily, allowing Bussho to recover a little bit before taking control of the match into his own hands. He kept the match on the mat, trying to get the victory nice and easy, locking Cyber in hold after hold, even getting close to locking in the Pride Stretch, but Cyber seemed to know that it was coming and forced his way over to the ropes.

Bussho backed off a little bit, but when Cyber slowly got up to his feet, he charged in and kicked him stiffly in the back of the knee and then threw him across the ring with a double underhook suplex. Cyber stayed down for a little while, before sitting up and slowly getting up to his feet. Bussho charged in yet again and tried to nail a clothesline, but Cyber was able to matrix dodge it, and when the champ tried to nail a series of punches, Cyber was able to dodge every single one before nailing an enziguri and then locking the champ in a wrist wrench. Bussho dropped down to one knee, and looked to be in serious pain, but he was not going to give up yet, as he connected with a few stiff elbows to the gut and then flipped out of the hold before locking Cyber in one himself. Cyber tried to do the same as the champ, but when he flipped forward, Cyber kicked him across the face and then locked him in a tight seated arm bar. The remaining few minutes of the match were very much like this, with both men having moments of control, but a majority of it was on the mat. However, Bussho got a little overconfident during a leg lock, allowing Cyber to scurry over to the ropes, get up to his feet, and then floor the champ with a running heel kick. The challenger then tried to lock in the Cloning Experiment, a texas cloverleaf, but Bussho was able to fight his way to the ropes before Cyber could properly cinch it in. Cyber tried to pull the champ up to his feet, but got caught with a forearm uppercut from his fellow youngster. Bussho then laid into Cyber with a vicious array of elbows before running to the ropes and nailing the Blazing Elbow, knocking Cyber out cold. Bussho then quickly locked in the Pride Stretch while Cyber was still out, and got the submission victory due to the challenger not resisting.

Winner: Bussho Makiguchi by submission in 9:43 – B-

Seiji Jimbo is seen stretching backstage when the tag champions, Dragon & Furusawa, walk in with happy looks on their faces. Mabuchi is the first to speak.

“We just wanna wish you luck tonight man, and thanks a bunch for helping out this week, in the tag match.”

Seiji nods and shakes both men’s hands.

“Thanks, and no problem, if they have any brains they won’t show up for your match tonight, fearing the beating they’re gonna be getting.”

The champs leave as Jimbo grabs his trademark robe and heads down to the ring.

Match 4: Magnum KOBE vs. Seiji Jimbo

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MagnumKobe.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SeijiJimbo.jpg

When each man came down to the ring, they received massive ovations, due to their popularity. They shook hands before the bell rang, and the second it did, they locked up in the middle of the ring, with neither man showing any sort of give. Eventually however, Seiji’s superior size and power allowed him to take control of the match, forcing Kobe down to his knees before kicking him across the jaw and locking him in an arm bar. The smaller man tried to roll out of it, but each time he did Seiji would either push or kick him back down, and his kicks were some of the stiffest seen in recent times. After a long time struggling, Kobe was finally able to get over to the ropes, and he used them to pull himself up to his feet, with Seiji respectfully backing away and not attacking him. This may have been a slight mistake though, as he gave Kobe time to relax, and when Seiji charged in to try and floor the smaller man with a clothesline, Kobe leapt up and caught him with a hurracanrana that sent the big man rolling out of the ring and into the barricade.

When Seiji finally began to move towards the ring again, as he took a little time to heal the damage the crash landing did to his back, but before he reached the apron Kobe came flying over the top rope with a handspring sky twister press, connecting right with Seiji’s head. Both men were down after this, but were able to make it in before they were counted out. Kobe tried take control into his hands, attempting to go for a step over arm bar, but Seiji sprung up to his feet and turned it into a pumphandle slam, knocking the air right out of the smaller home grown star. Seiji took the match back to the mat, locking Kobe in a tight knee lock in an attempt to take away his fellow youngsters aerial advantage, but he soon found himself hold for hold with the smaller man until eventually they were both on their feet. Kobe had a slight hobble on his leg due to the initial knee lock, but it seemed to have little effect, as when Seiji charged in to try and take him off his feet with a discus clothesline he was able to catch the bigger man with a jumping Headscissors.

Jimbo staggered back up to his feet, but seemed slightly dazed and stumbled towards Kobe, allowing the smaller man to duck a punch attempt and then connect with a dropkick that sent him staggering backwards. Kobe then ran to the ropes, with Seiji slowly walking towards him, before rebounding with a springboard cross body. Seiji caught him in mid-air though before driving him down into the mat with a bodyslam. Both men stayed down for a little while, with Seiji being the first man up to his feet. He dragged Kobe into the middle of the ring and drove his knee into the smaller man’s face a few times before locking him in a grounded hammerlock. Kobe tried to get out of it with a few kicks to the back of the head, but Seiji was too far away, and Kobe was forced to fight his way over to the ropes incredibly slowly, due to Seiji putting as much effort as possible to keep him still. When Kobe got back up to his feet, he summoned up a mound of energy and ran towards the big man before nailing a running one foot backflip dropkick, landing on his feet after connecting right with the jaw of Seiji.

Jimbo fell to the mat, and Kobe eagerly ran up to the top rope, but he did a bit too quickly and got a little light headed, allowing Seiji to get up to his feet and meet him up there. The smaller Kobe tried to fight him off with a few stiff elbows and forearms, but Seiji continued fighting, and threw the smaller man across the ring with an incredible avalanche exploder release suplex. Kobe landed right on the top of his head, but the move took so much energy out of Seiji himself that he was unable to capitalise. Kobe slowly began to move, followed soon after by Seiji, and the two began to exchange blows before Seiji was able to knock the smaller man down with a running forearm. The second generation star saw the opening and promptly locked Kobe in the Seiji Ocean Lock, a modified figure four leglock. Kobe screamed in pain due to the pressure the hold created, and desperately tried to fight his way to the ropes, but Seiji’s superior size meant that he was unable to move at all. When it seemed like Kobe was going to have to either tap out or pass out, he brought forth what little energy he had left and reversed the move into the Kobe Deathlock, an Indian Deathlock, which caused Seiji to yell out in agony himself. Kobe put as much force into the move as possible, a look of pure effort and rage on his face, and that seemed to do the trick, as Seiji tapped out after an incredibly long resistance.

Winner: Magnum KOBE by submission in 17:56 – A

After the match is done, both men take some time to get up to their feet. They got up at the same time as well, each favouring their more damaged legs as they hobbled into the centre of the ring. A brief staredown ensued before Kobe extended his hand, and after a brief moment of tension Seiji happily grabbed it before embracing Kobe and raising his arm. A majority of the crowd were on their feet in appreciation of the match and this show of sportsmanship, and both men soaked it up as much as possible before heading to the back together.

We then see a quick hype video for the next match, highlighting the recent history between the two teams.

Match 5: Dragon & Furusawa© vs. Circle of Blood
For the World Level Tap Out titles..

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DarkEagle.jpg

This was another good match up, with both teams going all out against each other to try and walk away with the gold. When the bell rang, it was Mabuchi in against Ishibashi, and while the youngster had the size and power advantage over Koki, the veteran was able to take the big man down to the mat and locked in hold after hold to try and take away those very same advantages, focusing mainly on his arms and legs. Just as he seemed ready to lock him in a sharpshooter however, Furusawa was able to power out of it and get to the ropes. He slowly got up to his feet, and when the veteran ran towards him, he caught Koki right across the face with a few stiff punches before then flooring him with a running back elbow. Koki tried to get up to his feet quickly, but as he turned to go to his corner he was met with a chop to the chest followed by a big back suplex that dumped him right on his head. This left him down for a while, giving Furusawa time to recover before tagging in to Dragon. The gaijin waited for Koki to get up to his feet, and the two engaged in their now regular technical masterclass, with the two men going hold for hold with each other until Dragon was able to take control over the now tiring veteran with a few quick knees and a snap suplex.

Dragon kept the match in his favour with a tight Chinlock after that, trying to keep his fellow veteran down on the mat, but Eagle distracted him on the outside with some insults, allowing Koki to slip slightly free before leaping up and bringing the gaijin down with a jawbreaker. He quickly scurried over to his corner and tagged in Eagle, but just when the leader of the Circle tried to pull Dragon up to his feet, Furusawa came running in with a clothesline right to the jaw, flipping Eagle over. The champs then tried to double team Eagle with a double suplex, but the wily veteran was able to counter it at the last moment with a double neckbreaker, before taking back the control with a few stiff elbows and a knee lock. Dragon winced in pain due to his knee being in bad shape as of late, but this didn’t stop him from flailing backwards with his free leg and just managing to catch Eagle in the chin, forcing him to release the hold. The gaijin then tried to get up to his feet, but Eagle sent him right back down with a spinning head scissors before connecting with a flip senton and going for the cover, only to have Furusawa run in and kick him across the face. Eagle took some time to recover from that blow, allowing Dragon to get up to his feet. When Eagle tried to get up to his feet as well, the gaijin leapt into the air and connected with a dropkick before going to his corner and tagging in Furusawa.

The youngster eagerly stepped into the ring and began to pick apart Eagle with his now trademark variations of the armbar, including a step over seated arm bar, a victory roll armbreaker and a cross arm breaker hold, but none of them were enough to make the veteran tap. Just when it seemed like Furusawa was going to slap him in the Furusawa Armbar, Ishibashi flew in from the apron with a missile dropkick to the big man, sending him staggering backwards into the ropes. Ishibashi got up quickly and whipped him across the ring, and when he came back Eagle sprung up and nailed an enziguri while Koki brought the youngster down with a drop toehold. Dragon tried to run in and help, but found himself on the receiving end of a double DDT that drove him right into the canvas before rolling out of the ring. The challengers then pulled Furusawa up to his feet and tried to set him up for the Blood Ritual, but he proved to be too heavy for them to lift, and he quickly fired back with a series of elbows before running to the ropes. When he came back, Eagle tried to floor him with another dropkick, but after staggering backwards slightly, the big man just charged forward again and turned the wily veteran inside out with a lariat. Ishibashi quickly fled back to the apron, but got a running big boot for his troubles from Furusawa, who then returned his attention to Eagle in the ring.

The veteran slowly got up to his feet, but Furusawa fired away with a blitz of chops and punches before whipping him into the corner and following up with a corner clothesline that nearly knocked him out. He staggered slowly out of the corner, and Furusawa tried to send him overhead with a back body drop but Ishibashi had come back in now and swept out of the big man’s legs from under him, causing him to drop Eagle. The challengers then tried to set up a spike piledriver on Furusawa, but Dragon stormed into the ring and took out Ishibashi with a beautiful dropkick before throwing him out of the ring and then flooring Eagle with a hurracanrana. He signalled to Furuasawa, who slowly got up to his feet and lifted Eagle into the air. Dragon ran to the ropes, and when he came back he and Furusawa nailed the Fire Driver V2.0, knocking Eagle out quite heavily. Furusawa quickly made the cover, and Dragon noticed Ishibashi moving on the outside so he promptly ran to the ropes and connected with a diving cross body while the referee counted, giving the champs the victory in a very hard fought match up.

Winner: Dragon & Furusawa by pinfall in 13:48 – B

After a brief time to recover, the champs proudly celebrate a successful defence with the crowd cheering them on.

B

Koshiro Ino is backstage, and is holding a microphone. His face paint is a combination of both the regular paint and the new red version that he showed earlier this week.

“Tonight, I finally get my hands on that damn a**hole Haru Kurofuji. For weeks he has been attacking me after my matches like the true coward he is. Unfortunately for him that released a force that had been building and growing inside of me, that of Devil Ino, my evil side. His attacks brought that forth and tonight he will feel the full effect of what Devil Ino can do, because once he is out, there is nothing that can stop him.”

Just as Ino is about to leave the room, Haru Kurofuji enters laughing.

“Are you serious, are you actually sane at all? Am I really supposed to believe that you have some sort of demon inside of you? I know that works for the fans, which isn’t really a surprise considering most of them have as much IQ as a beetle, but those of us with any kind of brain will realise that that is total b******t. I came here tonight expecting a serious match that would finally convince the idiotic people who run this company to give me what I deserve, but instead I’m given a match against you, a steroid fuelled man with the brain of a foetus. I’m out of here.”

Just as he turns around laughing, Ino spins him back around and floors him with a haymaker. He seems about ready to lift Haru into the air and throw him into the wall, but he drops the veteran and takes a deep breath in…then kicks Haru in the gut for good measure before heading to the ring.

B+ for Ino hype.
B for Haru’s hype.

Match 6: Koshiro Ino vs. Haru Kurofuji

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KoshiroIno.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HaruKurofuji.jpg

This was a total mismatch in sizes here, with the enraged Ino being much bigger and stronger than the veteran Haru, but as has been proved many times before, size doesn’t matter in a promotion like this, unless your name is Marat Khoklov. When the bell rang, Ino tried to take out his rage with a quick clothesline, but he was a bit too hasty, allowing the veteran to duck underneath it and then kick the back of his knee to try and take him to the floor. Ino stayed up, albeit with a momentary limp, but this brief blip in his attack pattern allowed Haru to kick him again and again before rolling him backwards into a leg lock. Ino struggled in the hold for a few seconds, but then used his power to throw the veteran across the ring using his leg. Haru quickly got up to his feet and ran towards the face painted warrior, but received a few stiff shots to the face and then a quick scoop slam from the big man, who then took the match into his own hands with a leaping elbow drop. This knocked the air right out of Haru, and might have even broken a few ribs, but Ino didn’t go for the cover, instead pulling the smaller man up to his feet and whipped him across the ring. This may have been a bit of a mistake however, as it allowed the veteran to build up steam, as he ducked under several clothesline attempts before leaping into the air and connecting with a massive knee strike right to the jaw of the big man. Ino staggered backwards, seemingly dazed, but when Haru tried to charge in and take the big man off his feet with a head scissors transitioned into an armbar Ino reversed it into a wheelbarrow facebuster.

Both men stayed down for quite some time, with Ino thinking over what to do next, while Haru was trying to recover. Ino was the first up unsurprisingly, and he then took the match to the mat, eager to insult Haru for what the veteran had said to him earlier by beating him at his own game. However, this was yet another mistake by the big man, as he soon found himself outmatched beyond his imagination as Haru went hold for hold with him until both men were on their feet and staring each other down. Ino charges in and manages to catch the veteran in the side of the head with a forearm before whipping him into the corner with authority. Haru hits the turnbuckles with such force that he then staggers out before dropping to one knee looking completely out of it. Ino takes advantage by charging in and hitting a quite vicious knee right to the jaw before going for the cover, but Haru is able to get his foot on the ropes just after the two count. The big man tries to pull the veteran back up to his feet, but Haru catches Ino with a few uppercuts that send the face painted warrior staggering backwards before whipping him across the ring. Ino seems to compose himself mid run and looks ready to run right over Haru but the wily veteran notices just in time and brings the big man down to the mat with drop toehold. Ino tries to scramble over to the ropes, but Haru stomps on his weaker knee several times, causing the big man to cringe in pain and grab at the knee. Haru’s face turns to one of sick happiness as he continues to drive his foot and own knee into the knee of Ino, but the confidence goes straight to his head, and when he tries to transition it into a leg lock, Ino is able to kick him away with his good foot.

Ino tries to get up to his feet, but his bad knee buckles and he drops to the mat, allowing Haru to charge back in and drag the big man into the middle of the ring. He hastily locks in a knee lock, grapevining it for extra pressure and to prevent Ino from moving, but it is not enough to put the big man away. Haru tries to bend the ankle in ways it shouldn’t be bending, but Ino continues to fight through it and kicks him in the face with his free leg. He catches the veteran right in the jaw which causes him to release the hold before getting to his feet to shake off the cobwebs. Ino takes his time getting to his own feet, using the ropes to pull himself up, but Haru is able to catch him with a chop block to the back of his bad knee, causing the big man to drop down to one knee. Haru sees blood in the water and runs to the ropes, hoping to go for a shining wizard, but just as he rebounds Ino burst full of life and nearly decapitates him with the Kobra’s Bite out of nowhere before collapsing to the mat when his knee gives way. Haru doesn’t move for a while, but Ino is in agony so he is unable to capitalise. The first man to eventually get up to his feet is Kurofuji, albeit very dazed, and he goes to pull the big man up to his feet. However, when he tries to go for a suplex on Ino, the face painted warrior punches him in the gut and then whips him across the ring. When the veteran comes back, Ino tries to nail the Back Snapper, a high elevation spinebuster, but his knee gives way again, allowing Haru to counter with a hurracanrana. Haru sprints up to the top and laughs before leaping off and connecting with the Suicide Headbutt. Ino continues to clutch his knee as Haru makes the cover, giving him the victory and the first point in this rivalry that most likely hasn’t seen its end tonight.

Winner: Haru Kurofuji by pinfall in 16:30 – A

Even though the bell has rung, these two continue to lay into each other, eventually fighting all the way to the back before we cut to a break.

However, as soon as the video is done, we cut backstage to see Rhino attacking Gilmore. The champ throws the veteran into the wall before kicking him several times in the gut. As Gilmore begins to get up to his feet, Rhino runs back across camera and boots the American right across the jaw, knocking him out. As some medics rush in to attend to Gilmore, Umaga smiles as he retreats down the hall.

Match 7: Awesome Thunder vs. Greg Gauge.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AwesomeThunder.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/GregGauge.jpg

When the match started, these two went face to face, but as Greg took a step back to lock up, Thunder slapped him hard across the face. The young Greg had a look of confusion, then anger, on his face, and turned back and got right back in the face of the veteran. Thunder seemed to smile and went to slap him again, but Greg blocked it and slapped the veteran as payback, sending Thunder sprawling backwards due to the force of the slap. The fans cheered on Greg who gestured for Thunder to bring it, and the veteran happily accepted, charging in and locking up with the youngster. Greg seemed to get the advantage, surprising Thunder, as he managed to force the veteran down to one knee, but he loosened his grip a little bit allowing Thunder to fight back to standing and then knee the youngster in the gut before cracking him in the back of the head with a double axe handle. Greg dropped down to one knee in pain, but when Thunder pulled him back up to his feet he nailed the veteran in the jaw with an uppercut before locking him in a side headlock. Thunder pushed him over to the ropes and whipped him across the ring, but Greg came flying back and turned him inside out with flying spinning back elbow smash, called the Gauge Breaker. The youngster then took the match to the mat, and began to put on a technical masterclass, incredibly impressive for somebody of his age, as he locked the veteran in all manner of holds, but he got a little too overconfident, locking in a leg lock too loosely, thereby allowing Thunder to scramble over to the ropes to force Gauge to break the hold.

Thunder used the ropes to pull himself up, and managed to catch Gauge with a boot to the face when the youngster tried to charge in for a clothesline. He tried to follow up with a running neckbreaker, but Gauge was able to reverse in incredibly quick and smooth fashion into a reverse DDT, planting the veteran into the mat. Greg tried to go for the cover right away, but Thunder was able to kick out just in time. The youngster then pulled the veteran up to his feet and tried to boot him in the gut, but Thunder caught his foot and then threw him across the ring with a dragon screw leg whip, causing the youngster to grab at his knee in pain. Thunder wasn’t done however, as he ran over to the fallen youngster and began to target his back with various submissions, including an exceedingly painful looking Camel Clutch where Thunder drove his knee into the youngsters back and bent him back as far as possible. The gaijin refused to give up though, and managed to fight his way over to the ropes, and when Thunder released him he rolled out of the ring to recover, but Thunder followed him out with his trademark no hands swan dive senton bomb plancha dive, the Light From Above, colliding right with the chest and face of the youngster. Both men were down for a while, and both rolled in at the same time, though Thunder seemed to have more life in him. The veteran realised this and instantly went back to picking apart the back of the young gaijin, but when he tried to lock in a bow and arrow lock Greg flipped out of it and then went hold for hold with the veteran until they were on their feet. They didn’t stop there though, as they began to do a series of standing switches until Thunder caught the gaijin with a quick elbow to the back of the head that sent him staggering forwards. The crowd applauded that technical display quite loudly, and Greg seemed to notice it, but this left him open to a kick to the chest from the veteran, sending him reeling backwards into the corner.

Thunder followed him in and unleashed a vicious series of kicks to the chest of the youngster, only stopping after the fifteenth shot. However, instead of dropping to the lower turnbuckle, Greg yelled out and pushed Thunder into the corner as well where he unloaded with loads of chops before placing the veteran’s leg on the top rope. Thunder was too dazed from the chops to do anything, and Greg ran in with a brutal kick right to the back of the knee of the suspended leg. Thunder yelled out in pain and fell to the mat clutching his leg, but he showed his resilience by soon getting up to his feet, albeit with a very heavy limp. Greg locked up with him and connected with several elbows right to the side of the head, but Thunder fought through it and fired back with his own before whipping the youngster across the ring. When he came back, Thunder leapt into the air and nailed a gamengiri with his good knee, flipping Greg over, and then went for the cover. He only got a two count, with Greg showing some amazing resilience by then quickly getting up to his feet and kicking the veteran in the chest. Thunder got up to his feet showing little effect from the kick and began to fire back with his own, with his good leg, but Greg was eventually able to catch his leg and then elbow the good knee, causing Thunder to retreat into the corner to recover. Greg didn’t let up, as he ran in with a clothesline followed with a bulldog, planting the veteran right in the middle of the ring.

Greg pulled Thunder back up to his feet and tried to set him up for the Neutron Plex, but the veteran fought back and whipped the youngster across the ring, nailing another gamengiri right to the temple this time. Greg flopped to the mat and Thunder scurried over to try and go for the cover, but Gauge kicked out yet again, but only just in time. The veteran realised that Greg was tiring at this point, and quickly pulled him up to his feet before nailing a brainbuster and heading up to the top. He seemed ready to go for the Thunder Shock when his knee gave way and he crotched himself, allowing Greg to recover and run up there himself. The veteran tried to fight him off with some elbows, but Greg answered back with chops before bring Thunder crashing down to the mat with a Super Neutron Plex. This left both men down for quite a while, and the crowd were on their feet cheering the two combatants on, but just as it seemed like Gauge was going to get up to his feet and lock in the Proton Lock, Rhino Umaga emerged from nowhere and nailed the Rhino Charge to the young gaijin, causing a DQ. The fans are noticeably disappointed with this result to such an amazing match, and once Rhino Umaga has gone to the back having done his duty, they give both men a loud ovation, with Greg looking genuinely surprised, and nearly on the point of crying with happiness.

Winner: Greg Gauge by DQ in 15:31 – A

After a break we go backstage to see Angry Gilmore pacing the halls with a disgusted look on his face. He is wearing bandages on his stomach from his attack earlier in the night, but he seemed to be walking like nothing happened. Before he speaks, he shakes his head.

“I will admit it Rav, you and your manager, Miwa, did quite a number on me earlier on tonight, you almost pushed me towards the point where I was going to have to take the night off. But then I realised, if I was to do that, then you would just continue to run rampant throughout this company that built it’s foundations on some of the stars that you are seeking to destroy.”

He leans against a wall before punching it and walking down the hall again.

“After that little epiphany, I had another one, I realised how I was going to be able to get into your mind and make you feel just how my mind was just a few minutes ago while I sat in the medical room.”

At this point, a smirk begins to creep across his face before he stops in front of a closed door that seems to have been bashed in slightly.

“As I said, you did quite a number on me earlier, but allow me to go a little bit further, payback is payback after all.”

He shoves open the door to reveal a closed room, with a spotlight in the middle of it highlighting a masked figure slumped in a chair.

“You see Rav, that’s the thing about life. You never quite know what is going to happen, it is all down to chance. Me? I believe that chance is what defines us, it is chance that made sure I was able to get to this match tonight, as I had that mini-epiphany by chance, at just the right time.”

As he says this he slowly walks towards the masked figure, who begins moving upon hearing his voice. Gilmore reaches over and grabs a hold of the cloth over his head.

“Do you believe in chance Rav? I know that your primitive little brain is almost definitely too small to understand most of what I have said tonight, but I know that you understand the basic concept of chance. Because you see, you can leave your friend, Mr Miwa in here, alone, sad, and locked away for goodness knows how long. Or, you could down here and attempt to help him, at the risk of being on the receiving end of an equally savage beatdown from me to you. If you believe, you will come down and have to take that chance, or risk losing one of the few people that truly understand you.”

When he mentions Mr Miwa’s name, he whips off the cloth to reveal a semi-conscious Miwa, but kicking the chair over, leaving the man sprawled on the floor.

“I’ll see you later Rhino, whether it be here or in that ring, but no matter where our showdown takes place, I am still going to come out on top. Fear the rage, for it can claim your soul, just like to took mine!”

He lets out a maniacal laugh as the camera runs out of the room and into the lit corridor, closing the door behind him.

A

Rhino Umaga storms out of the ring and runs backstage, and begins to tear the whole arena up looking for Mr Miwa. He eventually kicks down a door where he can hear Miwa shouting for help, but the second he bursts through the door Gilmore appears out of nowhere and boots him across the face, drawing a massive ovation from the crowd. Rhino staggers backwards before crumpling to the floor after a chair shot. Gilmore holds the chair up, with the middle being nearly bent in half from the impact, before dropping it on the champs body.

“Now we’re even pal.”

Match 8: Rhino Umaga© vs. Angry Gilmore.
For the World Level Universal title.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/RhinoUmaga.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AngryGilmore.jpg

This match began after a short break, and when Rhino Umaga headed out to the ring, he was noticeably groggy, a bandage across his head, and carrying Mr Miwa in his arms. Gilmore laughed while standing the ring, with the crowd pouring boos into Rhino like never before. He places his manager against the ring steps before rolling into the ring. The bell rings, and for the first time since he debuted, it looked like Rhino was really ready to rip somebody in half, as he looked on the verge of screaming in rage when he laid eyes on Gilmore. Neither man moves for what seems like an eternity before Rhino lets out a roar and charges towards his fellow gaijin, connecting with a massive right hook right to the jaw of Gilmore, who staggers backwards and drops to one knee. But after a brief moment of checking his face he laughs before replying in kind with a hook of his own. It seems to have little effect on Rhino however, and with each successive shot the champ just seems to be getting angrier and angrier until finally he headbutts Gilmore right in the nose, sending his challenger right to the mat. Gilmore shakes his head and checks for blood while Rhino pulls him up to his feet. Umaga whispers something angrily at Gilmore before punching him across the jaw again, drawing some boos from the crowd. Gilmore charges forward and nails another of his own, and they begin to do a classic face/heel exchange, with the crowd cheering Gilmore and booing the champ. Eventually it is the superior size and strength of the champ that gives him the advantage as he nails about six or seven consecutive elbows right to the head of his challenger before whipping him across the ring and nailing a running forearm.

Rhino goes for the cover, but Gilmore kicks out almost immediately, prompting Rhino to climb on top and begin to batter away with punch after punch right to the face of Gilmore, but his fellow gaijin just seems to laugh each one off. The champ gets up and stands back, allowing Gilmore to get up to his feet, but when Rhino charges in Gilmore dodged the clothesline and then nailed a dropkick that sent the big man staggering forwards into the corner. Umaga tried to back away from the turnbuckles, but Gilmore runs in and dropkicks him back into them before trying to nail a German suplex. Rhino resists however and then nails several stiff elbows right to the jaw before butt bumping the challenger away from him. He turned around and tried to charge towards Gilmore, who leaps into the air and connects with a hurracanrana that sends Rhino tumbling out of the ring. The veteran gaijin then tries to run to the ropes, but finally begins to feel the effect of the earlier beatdown, as he loses his footing and slowly drops to the mat, barely moving. When he gets up, he tries to run through the ropes and nail a running plancha on Rhino, but the champ is ready for him and connects with a double axe handle to the back of the head when he dives through, causing Gilmore to fall straight to the outside clutching his skull. The champ takes a little while to get his breath back before rolling Gilmore back into the ring and taking the match to the mat with a few slicks holds, which we rarely ever see from him. Due to beating earlier, Gilmore shows little initial resistance while in a sleeper hold, but the crowd gets behind him, with nearly three quarters of the crowd cheering him on, and he fights his way back to his feet, and nails a few quick elbows before trying to run to the ropes, but Rhino is able to keep his grip and force his challenger to the mat with a sleeperslam.

Rhino locks the sleeper back on, but this time instead of fighting his way out Gilmore slinks his way over to the ropes, placing his foot on the bottom rope. Rhino initially gets up and steps back, but when Gilmore begins to get up to his feet, he charges in and boots him across the face quite violently. Gilmore flips over from the impact and clutches his face as he pulled back up to his feet, but when Rhino tries to whip him across the ring, he reverses it into an irish whip of his own, only to have Rhino reverse that too, but Gilmore, as ever, goes one better and reverses that into a spinning head scissors, sending the champ rolling back out of the ring again. Some of the crowd get up on their feet and applaud that brilliant exchange, but that applause turns to awe when Gilmore nails a twisting diving arm drag on the outside, flinging Rhino up the ramp. The champ hit the metal with his shoulder and winces in pain, while Gilmore just looks like he is nearly collapsing, as he is slowly fading. Mr Miwa begins to show life as well, and produces something from his pocket. Umaga gets up and slowly walks over to him, causing Miwa to slyly hand him something that the champ puts in his trunks before going back over to Gilmore. The American has regained his fight however, and lays into the champ with several quick forearms and chops, sending the big man reeling backwards. He then quickly darts into the ring, and is soon followed by Rhino, but when the big man gets up to his feet he nails an enziguri before quickly hitting a neckbreaker, effectively giving him control of the match.

He swiftly keeps it on the mat, using his superior skills in that area to keep the big man down, but eventually the power factor comes into play again and Rhino is able to fight his way to his feet, but when he runs to the ropes, Gilmore catches him with a dropsault right to the chin that sends him back to the ropes. When he rebounds this time Gilmore uses his momentum against him and nails a snap suplex before locking the champ in a Chinlock. Rhino gasps for air before elbowing his challenger several times in the face and then inching his way over to the ropes. However, just when he is about to reach them Gilmore elbows him right in the bridge of the nose, causing Rhino to flop to the mat grabbing his face. Gilmore pulls him back up to his feet and tries to whip him into the corner, but the big man works through the pain and reverse the whip, sending the American veteran into the turnbuckles. He tries to follow up with an avalanche splash, but Gilmore is able to flip over him and then nails a Russian legsweep when the champ comes staggering backwards out of the corner. He tries for the cover, but Rhino kicks out after only two, causing the crowd to boo him, but there are audible claps for his resilience. Gilmore then runs to the ropes and tries to catch the champ with a springboard corkscrew senton, but Rhino puts his knee up, causing Gilmore to crash and burn. Both men are down for a while after this, but the champ is the first one up, and he pulls Gilmore up with him. The veteran tries to fire back with several elbows, but Rhino works through them before booting him in the gut and hitting a massive backbreaker, lifting Gilmore high above himself during it. Gilmore screams in pain and rolls around slightly, while Rhino has a look on his face as if he is saying “that is only the beginning”.

Gilmore slowly gets up to his feet, but Rhino runs forward and nails a quick clothesline before pulling him back up. The champ seems to attempt a side slam, but Gilmore counters with elbows to the temple. This seems to stun the big man enough for Gilmore to run to the ropes, but when he comes back Rhino grabs his throat and lifts him up before bringing him crashing down across his knee with a vicious chokeslam backbreaker. Again Gilmore screams in agony, rolling out of the ring this time to recover. He barely makes it to his feet, only to have Rhino Umaga comes stampeding through the ropes with a visually amazing plancha, connecting with the gut of the challenger, sending Gilmore flying backwards into the barricade. Both men takes their time getting to their feet, with Rhino rolling Gilmore back inside after getting up, and he tries to go for the cover. However, just when it seems like he was going to get the victory, Gilmore puts his foot on the ropes with a nanosecond to go, causing the crowd to explode into cheers. Rhino slaps the mat in anger and pulls him back up to his feet, but Gilmore fires back with several quick stiff knees right to the gut, doubling the champ over, and then runs to the ropes. When he comes back, Rhino tries to catch him with a lariat, but Gilmore leaps into the air and catches him with the Superstar Sensation, causing the crowd to once again cheer loudly due to the overness of the move. Gilmore leaps in to make the cover, and the crowd counts along.

One…
Two…
Thre..No!

Rhino kicks out just in time, with a fair amount of the crowd cheering, but the majority booing him loudly. Gilmore then drags the champ into the middle of the ring and ascends the turnbuckles to nail the Picture Perfect Moonsault, but when he leaps off of the top, Rhino moves out of the way just in time. Gilmore crash lands and rolls onto his back, seemingly out of it, and Rhino slowly makes his way up the top. He then tries to nail the Diving Headbutt, but it’s Gilmores’ time to surprise, as he somehow manages to roll out of the way just in time, and when Rhino hits the mat the entire ring shakes from the impact. This leaves both men out of it for quite a while, and when they are getting up to their feet they begin a slow exchange of blows, with Rhino eventually gaining control with a stiff punch. He then runs to the ropes and goes for the Rhino Charge, but when he bends over Gilmore nails him with an enziguri out of nowhere, stunning him, and then goes for the cover. But the referee is not in the ring, he is instead speaking with Mr Miwa, who seems to be in horrible condition, but it is all a ploy, as Rhino produces a bag from his trunks and throws powder in Gilmore’s eyes, sending him reeling and causing him to yell out in pain. Rhino makes his way to his feet and runs to the ropes before charging towards Gilmore. The veteran notices and runs towards him as well, trying to catch him with a super kick, but Rhino hits first, turning Gilmore inside out with the Rhino Charge. The champ then hooks the leg and the referee turns his attention back to the ring nad makes the count, not noticing the power lying in the middle of the ring.

One…
Two…
Three!

Winner: Rhino Umaga by pinfall in 22:47 – A

Rhino Umaga quickly grabs his belt and celebrates with it as if he just won it for the first time, and he doesn’t seem to mind the boos that the crowd are literally drowning him in.

I always had faith you would return. :)

Another quality show as per usual, but I can totally understand about the 'burn out' thing, that's where I kind of envy short-form diary writers who just summarise their matches but I just can't write in that style and I'm guessing this is the same for you; the better the match rating- the more inspired I am to give it a good write up.

YES!!! I literally check every day to see if there's a new post on here, and I'm always disappointed to find no updates, but I totally understand you being a little burnt out. I've been thinking about doing another diary, but in the back of my mind I always worry about how long I can keep it going, so I very much understand your need of a break. Glad to have you back though!

If I have any feedback, it's that the buildup to the Cyber Fighter/Makiguchi match was outstanding, and I was not so secretly praying for a CF3000 win, but alas. Interesting twist to have Gauge win over Thunder - I'm interested to see if this starts a big push.

Thankyou for the kind praise both of you, much appreciated :). Good to know that the Cyber Fighter story has been working so far, there were times when I thought it was going badly hehe. Now, on with the overview of the next tour.

WorldLevelWrestling.jp

There is only one word that can describe the recent Rave Tour, a success. We came close to selling out every venue we used and almost always gave the fans amazing matches to remember when they went home, but now the problem comes with continuing that success.

In an attempt to secure some stars of tomorrow for the growing company that is World Level Wrestling, we aquired the newly created Tokyo Level Wrestling as a developmental territory, and soon had wrestlers heading down to begin their training. Such youngsters include relative of the Samoan Wildboyz and Rhino Umaga, Arthur Dexter Bradley, the young luchador Capitao Brasil Jr, Japanese Phoenix and Omezo Shikitei. Yodo Nakane of the backstage staff volunteered and was sent down to help train them, happy to pass on his knowledge.

As with the end of any tour, we saw the departure of a number of stars. Veteran Dark Angel left after an unspectacular few matches, and was not called back, while everybody else received a contract. These included the team of NagaMori, and the young duo of Kenshin Ienari and KC Glenn.

In order to spice things up for the tour ahead, World Level Wrestling went on a search for some of the hottest stars around, and was able to secure touring contracts with the following stars:

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/FoxMask_alt.jpg

Name: Snow Fox (Fox Mask)
Signature Moves: Fox Flip Off DDT (Standing Sit-Out Shiranui after flipping the bird at opponent), Fox Hunter (Running Yakuza Kick)
Bio: Fox Mask is a veteran of the wrestling scene, and has always had the wish of competing in the legendary Junior division, but now he has found his way to Japan in a different way, and has donned the Snow Fox mask instead. Known for being quite athletic and being willing to put his body on the line, he will almost defintiely take off with the fans.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Relampago.jpg

Name: Hijo Del Relámpago
Signature Moves: Relámpago Blanco (Shooting Star Legdrop)
Bio: Relámpago is one of the fastest rising stars in Lucha Libre today, being the most popular star on the MPWF roster and dazzling fans on a daily basis with his amazing athleticism and daredevil moves. His finisher in particular is a move that always looks great in highlight reels, and will surely impress the fans here in WLW.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Hypnotiq.jpg

Name: Hypnotiq Jr.
Signature Moves: Hypnosis Clock (Series of Arm Drags followed by a running Enziguri), Springboard Senton.
Bio: Hypnotiq Jr is another second generation luchador who has made his way over to Japan for the first time. The one major stand out feature for this youngster is his uncanny ability to connect with the crowd, sometimes without having to even say a word. This has led to him becoming very popular in a short span of time with MPWF in Mexico, and may just have the same effect here in WLW.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Magnifico.jpg

Name: Magnifico
Signature Moves: Magnifico Cradle (La Magistral Cradle).
Bio: Magnifico is a veteran of lucha libre, and current MPWF champion. Though he is no longer in his prime, he can still fly and wrestle with the best youngsters, having had several classic encounters with Hypnotiq and Relampago during the last year. Can he impress the WLW fans with this skill, or will he have to go that extra mile instead?

These men have all joined us for the Squirrels Jubilee tour, with others being in negotiations at current. The first show of the new tour will occur on Friday April 5th, at the Osaka Athletic Stadium, don't miss it!

No news this week.

Card

We look set to kick off this new tour with a bang as he bring a talent packed first card to you live at the Osaka Athletic Stadium.

To start off the show we have the debut of the Mexican Invasion, the Mexican trio of Magnifico, Hijo Del Relampago and Hypnotiq Jr, as they take on the establish trio of The Tic, Panda Mask II and Kimuraman, collectively dubbed The Little People. Will the debutants pick up a shocking upset win? Or will the stars more adapted to the WLW style pull through and show the gaijin’s what this company is about?

We have another debut as the American veteran Snow Fox teams with fellow gaijin Americana to take on the team of Nathanial Ca$ino and Mitsunari Fugunaga. Americana and Ca$ino have apparently had altercations backstage, and that could make this match all the better. Will it be the mystery factor around Snow Fox that helps the veteran pick up the win, or will the younger team of Nate and Mitsunari send him packing?

The Show Stealer champ looks to continue his momentum after his successful defence against Nariaki Hitomi back in February when he takes on youngster KC Glenn. Glenn was impressive during the last tour, will that be enough to put away the veteran, or will the champ prove why he holds that strap with an easy victory?

We then have a clash of styles as the brutal mauler Hell Monkey takes on the veteran technician KOKI Ishibashi. Ishibashi was unable to win the tag titles at the last PPV while Monkey seemed to have faded into obscurity. Can the gaijin pick up the semi-return victory, or will the veteran Koki make a step towards singles glory once again?

And in the main event we have a feud continued as Greg Gauge and Awesome Thunder face off again, but this time in a tag match, with Thunder teaming up with rising youngster Emerald Angel, while Gauge teams with the legendary Great Hisato. Will Gauge be able to get revenge on the veteran Thunder, or will the Ace prove why he is considered the cornerstone of the company as pushes the young gaijin’s dreams of a clean victory over him further away?

Loving the completely absurd and random name for the tour :D

WLW Squirrels Jubilee Tour Show #1

Six Man Tag
Mexican Invasion (Magnifico, Relampago & Hypnotiq) vs. The Little People (The Tic, Panda Mask II and Kimuraman)

I see the Mexican's getting a debut win here to establish themselves as an instant threat, at least in the ranks of the lower card

Tag Team
Americana & Snow Fox vs. Nathanial Ca$ino & Mitsunari Fugunaga

Again like the last match Ca$ino and Fuganaga aren't so high up the card that it's unfeasible for the unkown debutant to win, plus Fox is teaming with the relatively established Americana

Singles
Non-Title
Silver Shark vs. KC Glenn

This may be non title but Glenn's not been a regular enough prescence on the roster to earn a win over the current show-stealer champ

Singles
Hell Monkey vs. KOKI Ishibashi

Hell Monkey to re-establish himself in WLW with a solid win over the tag-teamer

Tag Team
Awesome Thunder & Emerald Angel vs. The Great Hisato & Greg Gauge

This honestly could go either way, but I'm going to go with the Thunder and Angel team, as I think you do with re-establishing Emerald Angel this tour as he appears to have become a bit of a forgotten man.

WLW Squirrels Jubilee Tour Show #1

Six Man Tag
Mexican Invasion (Magnifico, Relampago & Hypnotiq) vs. The Little People (The Tic, Panda Mask II and Kimuraman)
Going out on a limb here, as The Tic's involvement is a wild card, considering his performance on the last tour. However, I feel like the Mexican invaders will get the win to establish themselves, and maybe set up a big match against the Circle of Blood later on in the tour?

Tag Team
Americana & Snow Fox vs. Nathanial Ca$ino & Mitsunari Fugunaga
Ca$ino is good, but Americana and Snow Fox are too good to not get the win, especially with the potential that Fox Mask has to be a breakout star in WLW.

Singles
Non-Title
Silver Shark vs. KC Glenn
I don't see Glenn being a threat to the title at all at this point, so I don't even see him getting the win in a non-title affair.

Singles
Hell Monkey vs. KOKI Ishibashi
Ishibashi is the more established of the two, despite not securing the tag belts last tour. I see him getting the win over Monkey with some involvement from the Circle of Blood.

Tag Team
Awesome Thunder & Emerald Angel vs. The Great Hisato & Greg Gauge
I love Gauge, but Thunder and Angel are a dream team. No way they take the loss here, but this one should be a classic.

An incredibly fast paced match up that was an awesome debut for the Mexicans. All of them shook hands except for Magnifico, who just stared down at his opponents with a smirk on his face. When the bell rang, it was Magnifico in against Panda Mask, and the veteran gaijin proved himself to be very skilled in the ring, as he easily dominated the youngster with several quick moves and holds that had the American in a lot of trouble. The veteran came close to whipping Panda into his corner to make the tag, but the youngster countered the irish whip into a head scissors and scrambled over to his corner instead, tagging in the more experienced Tic. Magnifico locked up with him, but his earlier arrogance disappeared quickly when the Tic easily took him to the mat and kept him down with an armbar. The veteran had to pull out a big spot to get out of the hold, kipped up and then flipping over before throwing the Tic to the mat with an arm drag. He tried to follow up with a clothesline to the experienced American, but the Tic was able to duck it and then nail a thrust kick before hitting a devastating poison rana, spiking the Mexican right on the top of his head. Relampago and Hypnotiq entered the fray at this point and took the Tic down before pulling him back up and whipping him across the ring. When he came back, he tried to duck under a double clothesline attempt, but the Mexican duo easily adapted and nailed a drop toehold/leg drop combo instead, stunning the American long enough for Magnifico to recover.

The arrogance returned as he got to his feet and pulled the Tic over to his corner before tagging in Relampago. Magnifico took the Tic down to the mat with him and placed him across his knees, while Relampago leapt over the top rope and hitting a twisting elbow drop right to the face of the Tic, causing the smaller man to flip over backwards from the impact and clutch at his nose. Relampago ran to the ropes and connected with a running baseball slide that sent the Tic right to the outside, but just as the young luchadore was setting up for a plancha dive, Kimuraman springboarded into the ring and hit a missile dropkick right to Relampago’s face, turning him inside out. Kimuraman then made his signature pose, drawing some cheers from the crowd, before valiantly fighting off Magnifico and Hypnotiq with a series of punches, but when he turned his back on them to head back to his corner, Hypnotiq caught him with a quick kick and a back suplex. The Tic and Relampago had both recovered by now, and the Tic rolled back into the ring before tagging out to Panda Mask again. Panda came springing into the ring, but soon found himself on the wrong end of a three on one assault, and when his partners tried to enter the ring to help him, the referee turned his back and held the Tic and Kimuraman at bay. This allowed all three Mexican Invasion members to triple team poor Panda Mask, nailing a Double Suplex/Cross Body combo move before Hypnotiq was tagged in. Panda Mask struggled up to his feet, barely conscious, and was easily thrown around the ring with several arm drags from Hypnotiq, and after the fifth one the young luchador ran forward and nailed a running enziguri on Panda Mask before going for the cover. The Tic and Kimuraman ran in to break up the count, but Magnifico and Relampago stormed in and took them out as the referee counted, giving the gaijin’s the debut win.

Winner: Mexican Invasion by pinfall in 8:56 – C

The crowd applaud the victors, but there are several audible boos as well, with members of the crowd obviously not pleased to see their favourites the Tic and Kimuraman beaten.

Match 2: Americana & Snow Fox vs. Nathanial Ca$ino & Mitsunari Fugunaga.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AmericanElemental.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/FoxMask_alt.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NathanielCaino.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MitsunariFugunaga.jpg

When they came out to the ring, Americana and Fox seemed to be working very well together, probably due to previous experience back in the USA with CZCW, while Ca$ino and Mitsunari looked very unhappy to be teaming with each other, due to both men having their own supersized ego that couldn’t fit in the ring. They even got into a little shoving contest over who was going to be in first, but Americana solved the problem by running over and dropkicking Mitsunari over the top rope to the floor, and then began to batter away at his fellow gaijin Ca$ino with a vicious series of forearm smashes before whipping him across the ring. He leapfrogged him twice before connecting with a dropsault that turned his fellow youngster inside out. Mitsunari clambered back into the ring at this point, and tried to take out Americana, but the youngster ducked a clothesline attempt, while Snow Fox sprung into the ring and took out Mitsunari with a cross body, sending him rolling back out of the ring. Americana pulled Ca$ino back up to his feet and booted him in the gut, but when he went for a suplex the gambler reversed it into a brainbuster style suplex of his own, bringing him down right on the back of his neck.

Americana clutched at his neck and rolled around in pain for a little while, giving Ca$ino time to recover, but when he tried to pull the high flier back up to his feet he was met with stiff uppercut that sent him reeling backwards into the ropes. He tried to rebound with a back elbow, but Americana matrixed underneath it and then sprung backwards into a hurracanrana that drew major applause from the crowd. Ca$ino tumbled around before rushing up to his feet, but when he tried to get back to his corner he was caught with a head scissors from out of nowhere before Americana tagged in Snow Fox. The veteran Fox eagerly rushed into the ring and nailed a bicycle kick right to the jaw of Ca$ino, sending him rolling out of the ring. Mitsunari stepped into the ring to stop Fox, but got a kick to the gut followed by an enziguri that sent him to the mat. Fox then stomped rapidly on the mat with both feet to get the crowd warmed up before running to the ropes and flying over the top rope with a cannonball plancha, landing right on top of Ca$ino. Both men were down for a while, and the crowd were applauding the daring Fox, who was also first up and into the ring, but when Ca$ino came back in, Fox slowed the pace down a little bit with some sleek technical wrestling, including locking the young gaijin in a tight leg stretch muffler lock, but Mitsunari took this chance to catch the veteran by surprise with a massive boot to the side of the head that made him fall forward and release Ca$ino. He then dragged his partner of the corner so that he could tag himself in, but he took too long getting to Fox, who booted him in the gut and spun him around with a snap neckbreaker followed by a running slide dropkick to the side of the head.

Mitsunari fought through the pain however, and got up to his feet, but Fox was right on top of him again, pushing him into the ropes and chopping away at his chest. He fought through this as well though, and managed to resist it before spinning Fox into the ropes and unloading with several stiff kicks right to the chest and gut of the veteran gaijin, before finishing up with a leaping thrust kick to the jaw, sending Fox tumbling over the top rope. Mitsunari took a little moment to survey the damage, but this left him open to a surprise attack from Americana, who flew into the ring and then dropkicked the bad ass over the top. Fox noticed what was happening, and pulled Mitsunari up to his feet before chopping him a little bit, just long enough for him to not see Americana come flying over the top with his signature handspring moonsault plancha. Fox then rolled Mitsunari back into the ring, with Americana took care of Ca$ino, who was still not fully recovered for some reason. Fox pulled his opponent to his feet, slapped him across the face, gave him the finger and then nailed the Fox Flip Off DDT, getting amazing height during the backflip. He drove Mitsunari right into the mat and made the cover, getting both the victory for his team and his debut victory.

Winners: Americana & Snow Fox by pinfall in 9:34 - C+

Match 3: Silver Shark vs. KC Glenn.
Non-Title

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KCGlenn.jpg

This match probably went on a little too long for Glenn, as his lack of overness really hurt what could have been a good match, turning it into a decent one. When the bell rang, Shark instantly charged in and locked up with the youngster, forcing him into the corner before breaking away cleanly. Glenn took the chance though and slapped the veteran strongly across the face, sending him staggering backwards. The youngster began to laugh with a smirk on his face before being caught with thrust kick to the gut followed by a running from the champ, who went straight to business. He kept the match on the mat, using his heavily trained technical skills to keep the youngster down and away from the ropes, and each time Glenn tried to fight his way over to them the champ would always drag him back into the middle. Eventually however Glenn was able to fight his way out during a transition and then took his turn putting the champ in a few holds. This was a mistake however, as he soon found himself going hold for hold with Shark before raking his eyes upon standing up. The referee warned him that this was illegal, but he merely shrugged before slugging Shark with a few punches.

He managed to force the champ into the corner, but when he tried to go for a running avalanche splash, displaying an amazing vertical leap, the champ was able to roll out of the way before nailing Glenn with a double axe handle to the back of the head. The youngster staggered around dazed before being thrown into the air with a gutwrench suplex from Shark, who then went for the cover, but only got a two count. Glenn took his time to recover, therefore giving Shark time to do the same, but when Shark began to walk over to the youngster to pull him up, Glenn kipped up and then hit an enziguri out of nowhere before hitting a jumping head scissors that sent the champ rolling out of the ring. Shark found his footing fairly quickly and tried to clamber back into the ring, but Glenn ran to the ropes and nailed a tiger feint kick, connecting right with the side of the face of the champ, who spun around upon impact and fell to the mat. Glenn took this time to pose for the crowd, who just booed him down, but he just flipped the bird at them and told them to shut up before turning his attention back to Shark. Unbeknownst to him however, the veteran had already re-entered the ring and took him to the mat with a spear. Shark waited for him to get up to his feet before whipping him across the ring, but instead of hitting a spinebuster like he was planning to, Glenn reversed it mid way into a spinning head scissors. The young KC then headed to the opposite corner and began to stomp his foot, causing some of the crowd to stomp along, and when Shark got up to his feet he tried to nail the Tune Up the Sunshine Band, a running superkick, but the veteran was able to duck it and then caught Glenn with the Deep Sea Snap, a superkick as well, out of nowhere right to the chin. KC flopped lifelessly to the mat, and Shark made the cover to get the victory in a fairly hard fought match.

Winner: Silver Shark by pinfall in 11:04 – C

Silver Shark then goes up to the youngster and pulls him to his feet for a handshake, but Glenn slaps the veteran across the face before storming up the ramp.

C-

Mr. Miwa is backstage, with Awesome Thunder standing behind him.

“It seems, that despite the result of the last pay per view, that young Gregory Gauge has not learnt his lesson, for he has dared to step into the ring with my client Awesome Thunder one more time. We tried to deliver the message loud and clear that he would not achieve anything when we destroyed him in the middle of the ring, but I guess his young American brain is too small to understand such a deep and meaningful message that I would give. So tonight, my client is going to make sure that he really understands it when my client leaves him a bloody mess inside of that ring. If that still doesn’t work, maybe my other client, Rhino Umaga, can put him on the sidelines to give him some time to think, but I pray for his sake that we don’t have to go that far.”

Match 4: Hell Monkey vs. KOKI Ishibashi w/Dark EAGLE
http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HellMonkey.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg

Koki seemed quite confident heading into this match, while Hell Monkey had his best blank expression face on. When the bell rang, the veteran Koki tried to run in and lock up, but Hell caught him with a stiff kick to the chest before following up with a boot to the gut and a neckbreaker, bring the veteran down to the mat. The gaijin then promptly locked him in a tight arm bar, trying to prevent him from using the Ishibashi Effect later on in the match, but he soon found himself going hold with the more technically skilled Koki. However, when both men got up to their feet, instead of locking up Koki tried to send Hell to the mat with a kick of his own, but the gaijin just shook it off before firing back with a series of alternating kicks to the chest and gut that sent the veteran reeling backwards into the corner. However this was a very bad mistake by Koki, as Hell ran in and leapt into the air, connecting with a running jumping leg lariat right to the jaw that sent Koki over the top and to the outside. Hell himself went over the top rope but landed on the apron, but as Koki was getting up to his feet the gaijin leapt off the top with beautiful sky twister press, landing square on top of the veteran.

Both men were down for a while, with Hell Monkey being the first one up to his feet, but when he tried to climb back into the ring, Koki grabbed his foot and dragged him back out before clubbing him across the face with a big forearm smash. The gaijin staggered backwards towards the apron, leaving him open to a spear from Koki, driving his back right into the unforgiving structure. Hell crumpled to the floor in pain, while Koki rolled back into the ring, a smile on his face. The veteran waited a little while to get his breath back before rolling out of the ring and pulling Hell back up to his feet. Monkey tried to fight him off with a few stiff forearms, but Koki fought through them, kicked him in the gut and then whipped him into the ring post back first. The gaijin again crumpled down to the floor, but this time Koki pulled him right back up and rolled him into the ring. Hell crawled across the ring to try and get back to the ropes and up to his feet, but the veteran Koki showed some good strategy with a few precise elbows to the weaker parts of the gaijin’s back, causing him to drop onto his stomach and wince in pain. He then locked the gaijin in a tight Chinlock, with his knee deeply planted into Hell’s lower back, but even with all that pressure he couldn’t get the resilient American to tap out, and when he tried to transition into another hold, Hell scrambled over to the ropes and pulled himself up.

Koki ran towards him to try and clothesline him over the top, but the gaijin ducked and caught him with a stiff kick to the back that sent him into the ropes instead. The veteran turned around, only to get several more kicks to the chest and a leaping one to the jaw, causing him to stagger forwards before flopping forward. Hell began to measure him, and when Koki got up to one knee, nailed his trademark hesitation kick right to the back of the head, knocking Koki back down, and seemingly out cold. However, when Hell ran to the ropes to try and nail a handspring moonsault splash, Koki got up to his feet and caught the gaijin with a devastating backbreaker in mid air. Hell screamed out in pain and rolled around on the mat, and Koki just slowly stalked him before going back to working on his back, locking him in a bow and arrow lock. Yet again however, the resilient gaijin refused to give up or tap, causing Koki to release him out of frustration and think of what to do next. He then pulled Hell up to his feet and attempted the Ishibashi Effect, a wrist clutch rack suplex, but Hell flipped out of it and connected with a thrust kick to the gut, causing the veteran to double over. Hell took a little time to get his breath back before nailing the ever beautiful Hell Fire Kick right to the back of the head, and then just flopped on top of veteran’s body, as he had no more energy left, getting the win in a very hard fought match.

Winner: Hell Monkey by pinfall in 17:30 – B+

Ishibashi does not look happy at all and just as Hell Monkey leaves the ring the Circle of Blood storm down to the ring and begin to beat him down. However, just before Daniels attempts a Cradle Piledriver on the concrete, Jungle Jack, White Samurai and Bulldozer Brandon Smith charge down and save him.

The Circle retreat up the ramp looking down at them, and Hell Monkey grabs a microphone.

“For too long, you fellas have been running around this place attacking whoever was slightly crossing your path. Well now, it’s time for somebody to rise up and stop you, because today the world sees the formation of the DEMON Army, with me at the helm and these men behind me as members. Trust men, the days of the Circle are numbered, so you had better watch your back.

B- for all three segments.

Match 5: Awesome Thunder & Emerald Angel vs. The Great Hisato & Greg Gauge.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AwesomeThunder.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EmeraldAngel.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheGreatHisato.jpghttp://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/GregGauge.jpg

This was a clash of the titans in terms of popularity, with the apparent ‘dream team’ of Thunder and Angel getting the loudest collective boos we have heard recently, beating Umaga and Machine back in February, while the crowd nearly exploded when Hisato and Gauge came out. This gave the faces a confidence boost, which they desperately needed due to the superior talent their opponents had. When the bell started, it was Angel in against Hisato, and the two produced one of the craziest aerial fests in quite a while. Hisato whipped Angel into the ropes to start off with, but when he tried to dropkick him, Angel somersaulted over the top of them, and then tried to take out the veteran with a sweep kick to the knee, but Hisato backflipped over his leg and then tried to go for a Full Nelson due to landing behind Angel, but the youngster was able to drop out of it and then nail a ground rana. Hisato was right back up almost immediately though, and went to snap off a running shooting star press, but Angel rolled out of the way and then nailed a running corkscrew shooting star, going one better than Hisato, and went for the cover, but only got a two count. When the two men got up to their feet the crowd loudly applauded that great showcase of skills before the two went face to face. Angel then tried to nail a big left hook, but Hisato ducked underneath and tried to go for a back suplex, due to the youngster spinning around after missing the punch, but Angel landed on his feet and tried to go for a poison rana out of nowhere, but Hisato threw him off and then snapped off a head scissors of his own that sent the youngster rolling right out of the ring.

Hisato took a moment to get a breather, but when he noticed Angel getting up to his feet he ran to the ropes and went flying over the top with a beautiful no hands twisting arm drag that sent the youngster flying into the barricade. Angel winced in pain and clutched at his back before slowly getting back into the ring, while Hisato rolled in almost right away. The veteran kicked Angel in the chest a few times before tagging out to Greg, who instantly leapt into the ring and followed on from where Hisato left off, battering away at his fellow youngster. Greg then tried to keep the match on the mat with a few tight submission holds, but when he was trying to lock Angel in a knee lock, the youngster sprung up to his feet and nailed an enziguri that knocked Gauge right down. Both men were down for a while before Angel began to claw his way over to his corner. Greg noticed and crawled over to him, grabbing him just in time and dragging him back into the middle of the ring before locking in a single leg Boston Crab. Angel yelled out in pain and struggled his way to the ropes, taking a long time to do so, but to his credit he refused to give up. When he reached them, Greg was noticeably frustrated and he flung Angel’s legs down and stomped away at his fellow youngster before pulling him up to his feet and whipped him across the ring. Angel had a fairly noticeable limp, but this didn’t stop him from countering a flapjack attempt into a hurracanrana that allowed him to scurry over and tag in Thunder, getting a massive amount of boos in the process. Thunder came right into the ring and kicked Gauge stiffly in the chest as he was getting up to his feet, but the young gaijin continued to rise. Thunder tried a few more times, but Gauge just yelled in his face and chopped away at his chest in a battle reminiscent of their previous encounter back in February.

Thunder fought through the chops and pushed Greg away before following up with a clothesline, confirming his control of the match, but when he ran to the ropes, Greg dove underneath him and then caught him with a dropkick on the return run. Thunder took his time getting to his feet, but Greg was waiting for him, and the youngster tried to go for a German Suplex, but the veteran Thunder reversed it, and the match quickly deteriorated into a battle of standing switches, until Thunder was able to send the gaijin up and over with a half nelson suplex, known as the Strike Suplex, but when he went for the cover, Gauge kicked out just after the two count. Thunder quickly pulled him to his feet and battered away at him with a series of kicks elbows and punches, and forced the youngster into the corner. He kicked away at his chest some more before pulling him up to the top rope with him. Thunder tried to go for a super spinebuster, but Gauge fought his way out of it, countering it into a Super Neutron Plex from the very top, with the ring shaking when they hit it. Both men were down and out for ages, but when they finally started moving, they headed to their respective corners and tagged in their partners. Hisato and Angel leapt into the ring at the same time and began a fast paced aerial war like the beginning of the match, but when Angel tried to go for a springboard head scissors, Hisato resisted it and turned it into a wheelbarrow facebuster. The veteran then leapt up to the top and waited for the youngster to move, and when he did, ran along the ropes and jumped off to complete the Jade Warrior Plunge, but Angel managed to roll it through, the first time all year anybody has managed to do so, and then drilled the veteran with a running powerslam before leaping up to the top rope. He flipped the bird at the crowd before leaping off for the Angel Fury, and connected before going for the cover and getting the very hard fought victory.

Winner: Thunder & Angel by pinfall in 20:40 – A

Hell Monkey then emerges from the back and storms down to the ring before kicking the living heck out of Angel, while Rhino Umaga emerges as well and begins to beatdown Greg Gauge and Hisato, with Thunder joining in. This brawl gets outta hand very fast, but before we see the conclusion we run out of time.

Overall = B
Notes: Last two matches really saved us, because I am sure that without we would have been a C range show. All the debuts went well I feel, as I expected the matches to not be amazing due to all four men not having any popularity at all in Japan. I had initially wanted Gauge & Hisato win the main event, but Angel’s creative control stopped me from doing so, I’m beginning to not like Angel at the moment, as he gets into a problem pretty much every show!

News

No news this week.

Card

The Mexican Invasion had a successful debut, and look to find more success when members Magnifico and Relampago take on the Ring Demons, Panda Mask II and Kimuraman. Will the Mexican’s continue their roll, or will the more established team of the Ring Demons send them running with their tails between their legs?

Hoping to make up for his previous loss earlier this week to his fellow gaijin Americana, Nathanial Ca$ino has challenged the high flier to a singles encounter tonight. Can he get the win and prove the last victory was a fluke? Or will Americana continue his recent rise to the top?

We then have a rare Champion vs. Champion encounter when Silver Shark takes on Bussho Makiguchi. Bussho was successful against Cyber Fighter at the last pay per view back in February, but will he enjoy the same success against the veteran gaijin Silver Shark?

In the main event of this show, we have a tough test for the youngster Mabuchi Furusawa, who has been talking about how he deserves to be at the top, citing his recent success as a reason, and he got his wish as he is put in the ring with one of the most seasoned veterans in WLW today, Haru Kurofuji. Can the tag team champ upset the veteran, or will Haru prove a point that Mabuchi isn’t ready yet?

The very first part of the show has Haru Kurofuji backstage with a microphone.

“So, let me get this straight, even though I beat that no good lump of lard called Koshiro Ino back in February, incredibly easily I might add, I still get no recognition or any compliments at all. Instead, I get put in a match with a kid who thinks that because of his lineage he is destined to be a star. Let me tell you something kid, I worked hard to get where I am today, and what makes me sick is kids like you who rise up to the top before they even know how to crawl. So tonight, I am going to make sure you realise that you need to spend a few more years down below learning your role in this company before you decide to clash with the big dogs. Until you have proved to us that you are worthy enough, you will get no mercy and you will rue the day you ever set foot in that ring tonight. I’ll send your daddy your hospital bills later after our match, see you in the ring.”

Match 1: Ring Demons vs. Mexican Invasion.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/PandaMask.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BeetleKimura.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Magnifico.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Relampago.jpg

The Ring Demons were eager to avenge their previous loss to the Mexican gaijin’s, but this lust for revenge threw them off their game a little bit, as they did not concentrate fully on the match, allowing the luchadores to control the early portion of the match. When the bell rang, it was Kimuraman in against Relampago, and the two men set the ring alight with a beautiful display of athleticism and aerial skill, but it was that quest for revenge that cost Kimuraman as he tried to go for a move one time too many, attempting a second moonsault, but Relampago rolled out of the way just in time and then nailed a running dropkick across the face. Hijo then set about dominating the smaller person, throwing him around the ring with a series of arm drags before slowing the pace of the match down with an armbar that quickly became a cross armbreaker. Kimuraman showed some good resilience however, as he fought through the hold and managed to get over to the ropes, but as soon as he was up to his feet he was sent over the top to the floor below with a running dropkick to the jaw. He tumbled to the floor, and was sent right back down to it when Magnifico jumped him from out of nowhere with a diving cross body from the apron.

Kimura took his time to get back in the ring, as Magnifico left him alone after the cross body, but when Kimura tried to take control of the match again, Hijo caught him with a flying head scissors before tagging out to Magnifico. Kimuraman kipped up to his feet and then tagged in Panda Mask, but this proved to be a mistake, as the veteran gaijin Magnifico ran rings around the young Panda, with the luchadore hitting several fast high impact moves. Panda tried to recover after rolling out of the ring following an enziguri, but just as he stepped away from the ring Magnifico came flying over the top with a diving body splash, colliding right with the young Panda before rolling him back into the ring. The veteran then signalled to Hijo, who bounded into the ring again and took Kimuraman off the apron, while Magnifico pulled Panda up to his feet, booted him in the gut and then rolled him up with the Magnifico Cradle. Panda was too dazed from earlier to kick out, and the Mexican Invasion picked up the win to continue their recent momentum.

Winner: Mexican Invasion by pinfall in 6:12 – D+

After a quick merchandising break, we come back to see Nathanial Ca$ino backstage, playfully throwing dice into the air with his hat tilted forward so we cannot see his eyes, only a very large grin.

“A few days ago, because of a stroke of luck, a man that I have encountered many times before now thinks he is better than me. That person, of course, is the man everybody loves, Americana. But you see, I am here tonight not only to go out there and show my amazing skills to everybody out there in the arena tonight, but also to prove that the only person luck lies with, is none other than ‘The Draw’ Nathanial Ca$ino.”

He rolls the dice skilfully across a table top.

“So Americana, you have no chance in hell, because the dice have started rolling, and they will mean nothing but Snake Eyes for you my friend.”

He snatches up the dice again and begins to chuck them into the air playfully like before as he makes his way down to the ring, chuckling.

Match 2: Americana vs. Nathanial Ca$ino.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AmericanElemental.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NathanielCaino.jpg

Ca$ino seemed very confident heading into this match, swaggering down the aisle with a smirk on his face before warming up. Americana looked as focused as usual, but with a slight grin on his face as well, probably laughing at Nate’s confidence. When the bell rang, Nate ran in and tried to take the more established flier off his feet with a clothesline, but Americana matrixed under the arm and then nailed a backflip hurracanrana that sent the bigger man rolling out of the ring. Americana then ran to the ropes and went for an Elemental Feint, but Nate ducked underneath his legs and then clocked him around the back of the head with a stiff punch, causing Americana to flop out of the ring to the floor below. Both men took some time to recover, with Nate being the first one to move, pulling Americana up to his feet and whipping him back into the ring. He then rolled in as well and tried to pull Americana up to his feet to whip him into the corner, but he found himself on the wrong end of a stiff uppercut that sent him staggering backwards into the ropes. Americana then connected with a few kicks to the chest before whipping Nate across the ring, and when he came back the older Americana caught him with a spinning heel kick right to the jaw that sent Nate straight to the mat. Americana then went for the cover, trying to get the victory quickly to add insult to injury, but Nate kicked out almost right away.

The gambler kipped up and fired away at the surprised Americana with a blitz of elbows and forearms, but when he tried to whip him across the ring, Americana reversed it into an arm drag, and then caught Nate with a dropkick to the back of the head as he got up to one knee. Nate rolled out of the ring, and Americana then nailed the signature Elemental Press, the handspring moonsault plancha, landing right on top of Nate’s head. Both men were down, and they got up at the same time before rolling into the ring. Neither man did anything for a while, instead rolling to different corners to recover, but the first man to try anything was Nate, who ran across the ring and caught Americana by surprise with a corner dropkick right to the jaw of the Elemental hopeful. Nate then pulled him up to his feet and booted him in the gut before trying to go for the Hard Eight, a belly to back piledriver, but Americana countered it with a poison rana that dumped his fellow gaijin right on the top of his head. Nate staggered up to his feet, but was unable to hit anything due to being too dazed, allowing Americana to boot him in the gut and throw him overhead with a snap suplex before heading to the top. He took his time to position himself before flying off the top with the Inferno Splash Mk. III, the Imploding 450 Press that everybody loves, and connected with Nate before going for the cover. He had put up a lot of resistance, but in the end it was the experience of Americana that came out victorious.

Winners: Americana by pinfall in 8:57 - C+

After a break we go backstage where Bussho Makiguchi stands, his title displayed proudly across his shoulder.

“Now that I have dealt with that stupid problem with the clones, I can move on to some serious business. Tonight, I face a ‘respected’ veteran of this business in Silver Shark, but in my opinion any man who believes he is a fish at the age of 40+ is just mad. He doesn’t even deserve a title in my opinion, and I will prove that tonight when I defeat him utterly with ease. It’ll be the final call, because once you get a taste of these elbows, you’re down for the count and won’t be moving for at least a few days. See you out there Sharky boy.”

Bussho begins to cackle to himself, but when he sees a shadow entering through the door he pegs it the other way, as the shadow takes the form of Cyber Fighter 3000.

C+

Match 3: Silver Shark vs. Bussho Makiguchi.
Non-Title

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg

These two did not look happy with each other, with Shark looking noticeably pissed off with Bussho’s comments earlier on. When the match started, Bussho charged in and instantly tried to take the veteran gaijin off his feet, but despite his stiffest forearm shots, Shark remained on his feet and fired back with forearms of his own. This confused Bussho, leaving him open to a particularly stiff elbow that sent him staggering backwards into the ropes. Shark quickly followed up by whipping the youngster across the ring and then nailing a leaping leg lariat right to the chin. Bussho rolled out of the ring to try and recover, but when he tried to get on to the apron, Shark ran towards him and nailed an enziguri. Bussho began to lose his footing, but Shark quickly came on to the apron himself and then planted the youngster with a vicious DDT to the unforgiving floor. Both men were down for a while, and they barely made it back in before they were counted out. The first man to really get up to his feet was Shark, as Bussho was still feeling the effects of the DDT, but when the veteran whipped him across the ring Bussho fired back with a strong clothesline that sent the gaijin to the mat before beginning to work on his back. He even managed to lock in a Bow and Arrow lock, but he got a bit too overconfident, as he loosened the hold enough for Shark to roll out of it and then scramble over the ropes. The youngster tried to follow up with a clothesline that sent the veteran over the top, but Shark caught him with a sharp back elbow the face out of nowhere, leaving both men down.

When they began to move again, it was Shark’s turn to take the match to the mat, as he kept the youngster down with a few armbars, but the technical skills of Bussho once again showed through as he was eventually able to get out of it and go hold for hold with the veteran before fighting to a staredown. They collided in the middle of the ring again, and Bussho was able to nail a series of devastating pin point elbows to the neck that caused the veteran gaijin to drop to one knee. Bussho ran to the ropes and tried to go for the Blazing Elbow, but just when he spun around to hit it, Shark ducked underneath it and then nailed the Deep Sea Snap out of nowhere, sending the youngster flying over the top to the floor below. Shark took his time, and when Bussho rolled back into the ring, he tried to go for the Jaws of Life, but Bussho was able to grab a hold of the ropes to force him away. The veteran obliged and backed away to the other side of the ring, but this proved to be a mistake on his part, because when he charged in again to attack Bussho, the youngster caught him with the Blazing Elbow out of nowhere, right to the temple, sending the veteran straight to the mat. Bussho smirked for a while and looked down at the fallen Shark before shaking his head and laughing. He pulled Shark up to his feet and whipped him into the corner, but the gaijin reversed just in time, sending the youngster into the corner otherwise. Shark tried to follow up with a high knee, but Bussho blocked it and then drove the champ into the mat with a strong spinebuster before going up top and nailing a vicious flying elbow drop right to the face, called the Pin Point Dive. He hooked the leg c0ckily and got the upset victory.

Winner: Bussho Makiguchi by pinfall in 13:44 – A

Haru Kurofuji is strolling towards the ring when Mabuchi Furusawa jumps him from out of nowhere, drawing a big pop from the crowd. The veteran tries to fight him off, but Mabuchi had caught the smaller star off guard and was able to take him to the floor. The youngster quickly set about punishing the veteran with a series of stiff punches right to the face before pulling him up to his feet and whipping him into the concrete wall. Haru flopped to the floor as Mabuchi leant over him.

“So you think that you are better than me, do you really think that Haru? I’ve had to live my whole life dealing with a**holes like you all because of who my father is. And over the years I have figured out just the solution to those people, kick the living hell out of them. You see, Haru I am bigger than you, much bigger, and a lot stronger than you as well. While you may have skill and experience, I have learnt that bigger is always better, and tonight will show you why, when I shut your stupid trap for good and make you realise that this generation is just as good as you.”

He kicks the veteran across the face one more time before heading towards the ring himself.

Match 4: Mabuchi Furusawa vs. Haru Kurofuji

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HaruKurofuji.jpg

Mabuchi looked very focused on this match, almost enraged by what Haru had said at the start of the show, going so far as to insult him quite personally. When the bell rang, they both circled each other for quite some time, seemingly measuring themselves up against their opponents before colliding quite stiffly in the middle of the ring. Haru tried to go for a headbutt, but the young Mabuchi was able to dodge it and then come back with a headbutt of his own that sent the veteran staggering backwards. Mabuchi smirked before running in towards Haru, but the wily star was able to duck underneath the clothesline attempt and nail him with a sharp knee to the gut that doubled over the youngster. Mabuchi gasped for air due to having the wind knocked out of him, leaving him open to a few more knees from the veteran followed by a big gutwrench suplex that sent the youngster right into the air before coming crashing down on the canvas. Mabuchi clasped at his back and slowly began to get up to his feet, but the veteran Haru charged in and caught him with a high knee to the jaw before slowing the match right down and taking it to the mat. Mabuchi gave him some tough resistance to start with, due to his knowledge in that area, but the veteran silenced the youngster with a few headbutts and forearms to the back of the head before working on picking apart Mabuchi’s legs. He focused mainly on the lower part and the knees, locking in variations of different knee and leg locks, but Mabuchi’s own leg strength showed through when he was able to fight his way out after using his free leg to add pressure to Haru himself, forcing the veteran to release him.

Mabuchi then tried to get back up to his feet, but the veteran clocked him in the back with a running double axe handle that sent him down to the mat. He then tried to clamber his way over to the ropes to prevent the veteran from doing anything, but Haru dragged him back into the middle and stomped on his weaker knee, causing him to scream in pain and clasp at the limb while Haru walked around him smirking. He kicked playfully at the writhing youngster, but he did it one too many times, as Mabuchi grabbed his leg and then threw him to the mat with a strong dragon screw leg whip. The veteran got right back up to his feet and tried to run towards the youngster, but the leg whip caused him to limp due to the damage it did to his knee, and he therefore lost his footing halfway towards Mabuchi. The youngster realised and charged forward himself, flooring the veteran with a strong lariat right to the throat. Haru grabbed at his neck before slowly getting up to his feet, but as soon as he was up to his knees, Mabuchi clambered on top of him and locked in a mounted arm bar, really wrenching back on the arm while sitting on his back to apply as much pressure as possible. Haru flailed with his free arm, desperately trying to reach the ropes, but Mabuchi’s position prevented him from doing so. He came very close to tapping out when he suddenly rolled forward, causing Mabuchi to do so as well and lose his grip on the arm. Haru got right back up to his feet, but held his arm with his other one, showing signs of serious pain and damage, but this concern for his arm left him open to a shoulder block from the much bigger Mabuchi who then ran to the ropes and hit a driving snap elbow right to the gut.

Haru rolled away and tried to get out of the ring, but Mabuchi dragged him back in and locked him in an inverted cross arm-breaker, really cinching it in to get as much pressure as possible. Haru screamed in pain due to the sheer damage it was doing, and again came very close to tapping, but was able to summon up his final reserves of energy and roll over to the ropes, dragging Mabuchi with him. He used the ropes to pull himself up, and when the big man came running towards him, he nailed a springboard missile dropkick right to the chest that sent him to the mat. Haru used this chance and leapt on top of the youngster’s knees, stomping away at the madly before locking in a single leg Boston Crab. The youngster screamed loudly in pain, and tried to claw his way over to the ropes, but every time he did so Haru would just drag him back into the middle of the ring. Eventually it was the support of the crowd, who were cheering him on, that prompted Mabuchi to summon up the energy required to counter the hold, as he was able to spin round and then kicked the veteran in the butt with his free foot. Haru staggered forward, and as soon as he turned around he was met with a viciously stiff lariat from the youngster that left both men down and out. The crowd stomped their feet, trying to get both men back into the match, and the wrestlers obliged, getting up at almost the same time. Mabuchi was limping due to the prolonged concentration on his legs, but he was able to stay up long enough to batter away at Haru with a few punches and elbows, but when he tried to go for a brainbuster, his knee gave way and Haru was able to nail an enziguri that dropped the big man. The veteran promptly ran up to the top rope, and came flying off with the Suicide Headbutt, connecting with the gut of Mabuchi, before hooking the leg. This time he had come out on top, but Mabuchi had impressed a lot tonight, having the main eventer in trouble at several moments in the match.

Winner: Haru Kurofuji by submission in 16:34 – B+

Summary:
Mexican Invasion def. Ring Demons – D+
Americana def. Nathanial Ca$ino – C+
Bussho Makiguchi def. Silver Shark - A
Haru Kurofuji def. Mabuchi Furusawa – B+

Overall = B+
Notes: Needless to say I was very surprised at the result for the Bussho/Shark match, with them pulling out the match of the night. This is definitely going to lead to a program between the two, as I can’t help but squeeze every bit of profit from that A hehe.

No news this week.

Card

We have an action packed week for you fans this week, with both shows being headlined by what look to be awesome matches. To kick off the first show, we have Kimuraman hoping to avenge his recent losses to the Mexican Invasion when he goes up against the big bruiser Bulldozer Brandon Smith. Will Kimuraman being able to summon his titanesque strength by transforming into Ultra Kimura? Or will Brandon, who recently joined the DEMON Army, run over the smaller man like a bulldozer as his name suggests?

Speaking of the Mexican Invasion, member Hypnotiq Jr continues the recent feud with the Little People as he takes on that stables leader The Tic. Will the Mexican luchadore manage to pick up the win? Or will it be the experience of the Tic that helps him to victory and stop the Mexican’s momentum in it’s tracks?

We then have UK Dragon taking on White Samurai in what looks set to be a strong match up. Will Samurai be able to pick up the win and possibly earn a shot at the belts, or will the veteran gaijin Dragon continue his recent streak?

Then to main event that show, we have Awesome Thunder taking on The Great Hisato. Hisato has not had much luck at all as of late, when he used to be one of the premier talents the company had. Will this show with a lack of confidence as he takes on one of the most in form wrestlers at the moment in fellow veteran Awesome Thunder?

One the next show, Hell Monkey hopes to make the first step to silencing the Circle of Blood when he takes on that stables resident whipping boy Dean Daniels in one on one action.

The tag champions are then both in action, albeit in singles contests, with Furusawa taking on the gaijin Nathanial Ca$ino and Dragon takes on Jungle Jack. Will the champs head forward, or will they have even more challengers against them once the week is done?

To headline this show, we have Koji Kojima taking on Haru Kurofuji in a rare dream battle between the members of Power Trip WLW. Who will come out on top of this epic contest?

Thunder's in better form, so a Hisato win would be a real shocker at the moment

Hell Monkey vs. Dean Daniels

COB's whipping boy, gets another whipping...monkey style !

Singles
Mabuchi Furusawa vs. Nathanial Ca$ino

Fursawa's one half of your tag champs, Ca$ino is a lower card gaijin, this one's a no brainer

Singles
UK Dragon vs. Jungle Jack

Jungle Jack is popular enough in Japan, to get the slight upset over the other half of your tag champs. I just think Dragon will go 1-1 in these set of matches, so he could quite easily go over Jack here and lose to Samurai the previous night.

Singles
Koji Kojima vs. Haru Kurofuji

I forgot Kojima was still around, he's been off the shows for so long. Perhaps the one criticism I will have of the diary/your booking is that your roster is perhaps a little too big and you get situations where members of the roster 'disappear' for long stretches, simply because you have nothing for them, and for me as a reader/fan I kind of stop caring about certain workers.

Anyway Kurofuj's been getting the more focused push, so I see him going over his best pal.

Even though Kimuraman is more established, he hasn't really achieved much of note as of late. I picked Smith here just to try and cement his place in DEMON Army.

I know these are getting really thin by now, but sorry for not posting lately. I was in holdiday in Florida, and I was told I would have internet connection at the villa, but there was none at all, so I had no way to the post the show. I just got home today, and will post the next show in a few minutes after I finish up the last match.

Match 1: Kimuraman vs. Bulldozer Brandon Smith.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BeetleKimura.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BulldozerBrandonSmith.jpg

This was a very big mismatch in terms of size and power, as Smith held the massive advantage on both accounts, almost dwarfing the smaller Kimuraman with his titanesque frame. When the bell rang, Kimura tried to ram down the big gaijin with a shoulder block, but got knocked down himself with Smith using very little energy to do so. Kimura was right back up almost immediately though and struck a super hero pose before running to the ropes and trying to go for a clothesline. However when he came back Smith ducked the arm and then lifted the smaller man high into the air and drove him into the mat with a massive side slam style spinebuster. Kimura’s head bounced off of the mat and he seemed out of it almost right away, offering little resistance when Smith pulled him back up and whipped him into the corner. The big gaijin followed up with an avalanche, getting great hang time for a man of his build before crashing down on top of the poor youngster. Kimuraman staggered out of the corner but had very little time to breath as Smith threw him high into the air with a release belly to belly suplex. The smaller man was dumped right on the top of his head, and he rolled out of the ring, trying to recover as much as possible. Smith gave him no time though, following him out right away and battering him in the back with a double axe handle.

Kimura then shot full of life and began to fight back with amazing intensity, nailing several stiff elbows and forearms to the big man, sending him slowly staggering back, but when he tried to follow up with a running leg lariat, Smith caught him in mid air and brought him down to the unforgiving concrete floor with a devastating running powerslam. Kimura screamed out in pain and clutched at his back before trying to crawl away. Smith just laughed as he walked by the smaller man’s side, and just when it seemed like Kimura was going to get up to his feet, Smith kicked him in the gut and stomped away viciously at his back before rolling him back into the ring. Kimura began to move again, but a quick kick to the face followed by a few leaping knee drops right to the back of the head stopped it in it’s tracks. Smith then strolled around the ring with a smirk on his face before waiting for Kimura to move again. When he did, he crouched low to the mat before coming charging across the ring and nailing a devastating move, a lifting spear/spinebuster into a one arm chokeslam, called the Sky High Impact. Kimura’s whole body bounced off of the mat, and when the camera focused on him his eyes seemed to be glazed over. Smith stood up and placed his foot on the smaller man’s chest for the easy cover.

Winner: Bulldozer Brandon Smith by pinfall 5:33 – C-

Match 2: Hypnotiq Jr vs. The Tic.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Hypnotiq.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheTic.jpg

Just like the last time these two were in the ring together, they set the ring alight with lightning pace moves and some heavy hitting aerial manoeuvres. When the bell rang, it was Hypnotiq who managed to surprise the veteran Tic with a quick arm drag out of nowhere that took him straight to the mat into a tight arm bar. The Tic’s experience began to show through when almost immediately he began to claw his way over to the ropes, but just as he was about to get there, Hypnotiq showed amazing speed when he transitioned from the arm bar into a bridging chinlock with ease, doing it in almost one fluid movement. The Tic was caught off guard with this, and he tried to reach the ropes again, but the crafty Hypnotiq had placed his body in the way of the good arm. The Tic seemed to be coming close to tapping out, due to the amount of pressure the hold was putting on him, but he showed his ever amazing resilience when he summoned as much energy as possible, feeding off of the cheers from the crowd, and clawed his way over to the ropes bit by bit with his free arm until he was able to latch on to the bottom rope and force the luchadore to release him. Hypnotiq didn’t take too kindly to this, and nailed a picture perfect hesitation dropkick right to the jaw of his fellow gaijin Tic when the smaller man was getting up to his feet.

Hypnotiq began to scout his opponent, waiting for him to get up, but instead of actually following up he went and crouched in the corner, almost lazily as if he was just watching a show. The Tic reached his feet and he did nothing, but when the veteran American charged towards the luchadore to try and nail a running knee, Hypnotiq leaped out of the corner and nailed a beautiful spinning head scissors that then sent the Tic rolling out of the ring. The smaller man thought this would give him a little time to recover, but he was wrong, as Hypnotiq soon came flying over the top with a great cannonball plancha, landing right on the top of poor Tic’s head. Both men were down for a while, and just before they were going to be counted out they both rolled back into the ring at the same time. The Tic was the first up to his feet surprisingly, and he booted Hypnotiq in the gut before taking him over with a snap suplex. He seemed to have completely recovered before he had trouble getting up to his feet, as he grabbed his head and dropped back down to one knee, then rubbed the back of his neck. Hypnotiq got up to his feet and noticed, and began the Hypnosis Clock, snapping off five well executed arm drags to his fellow gaijin, but when he tried to go for the running enziguri, the Tic counted with one of his own out of nowhere, stunning the Mexican. The smaller man then capitalised and ran to the ropes before coming springboarding off with the Tic Leap, driving Hypnotiq straight into the mat. He then made the cover, squashing Hypnotiq down like a pretzel doing so, and managed to get the morale boosting victory, having had his stable lose to the Invasion two straight times, bringing the score up to 1-2.

Winners: The Tic by pinfall in 6:49 - C+

After a quick break where we promote the latest of Cyber Fighter 3000 merchandise, including a breakdancing figure and a poster of all 3000 clones, we go backstage to see UK Dragon being interviewed.

“So it seems that the Circle of Blood weren’t good enough to get these belts back after all. All of their whining and their sneak attacks on us when our backs were turned meant nothing when it all came down to it, because we beat them fair and square in that ring. The main question now is who will we defend against next? Me and Mabuchi are at the top of the division right now, and it seems that we have faced everybody there is to face as a team bar a few. Some of those people are the newly named DEMON Army.”

Mabuchi walks into shot with a slight bruise over his eye and with a small limp.

“That is the price of being a champion, of wanting to rise to the top, my partner has challenged the top dogs, and even though he lost he proved that he has the determination and skill when given the chance. And that is what I am going to offer the DEMON Army, an open challenge to face us for the tag titles at WLW: It’s Time For a Shower Dear. Any of you four against us two, and I look forward to hearing the reply. As for now, I am going to show one of you four what it means to get in that ring with me so you get a little taster when I take on White Samurai.”

Match 3: UK Dragon vs. White Samurai

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg

Dragon still looked very focused just like in his interview earlier, while you couldn’t quite tell what Samurai was feeling, due to that pesky lower face mask he wears, but his eyes seemed to show a similar type of concentration. They didn’t lock up immediately however, instead taking their time by circling each other, waiting to see who would make the first move. It was Samurai, with the talented youngster charging towards the veteran gaijin, trying to hit a running high knee to take control, but Dragon blocked the knee with his arms and then fired back with a series of elbows right to the face of Samurai before running to the ropes. He tried to go for a clothesline, but the youngster was able to leapfrog the veteran when he came back and then nailed a back elbow when he made the return run. This left the gaijin dazed, allowing Samurai to kick him in the gut and then take him up and over with a delayed vertical suplex, with Samurai taking his time to showboat to the crowd, who showered him with boos due to facing their favourite Dragon. Samurai laughed it off though and drilled the tag champ into the mat before beginning to work on the legs of the veteran, aiming to take away Dragon’s famous agility. The youngster seemed to be doing well, keeping the gaijin down on the mat with a tight single leg boston crab, but he began to get a bit too overconfident for his own good, as he began to showboat to the crowd again and loosened the hold to show how he was in control of the tag champ, but when Samurai tried to transition it into an arm bar Dragon caught him off guard by somersaulting out of the arm bar and then taking him right off his feet with a stiff lariat that flipped Samurai right over.

Dragon took some time out to recover before pulling the youngster back up to his feet, and then delivered a few stiff knees to the gut of Samurai before whipping him across the ring. Dragon tried to go for a clothesline, but Samurai ducked it only to be caught with a back elbow right to the back of the head, with that shot coming out of nowhere. This left the youngster dazed which gave Dragon time to kick him in the gut again before nailing a neckbreaker. Samurai sat up and grabbed his neck, but Dragon shoved him back down to the mat to make the cover, with the youngster kicking out just after two. The gaijin champ got up to his feet slowly, dragging Samurai up with him, but when he tried to pull the youngster up fully he got caught with a strong uppercut right to the jaw that sent him staggering backwards. Samurai quickly ran to the ropes and back flipped off of them to nail a visually amazing springboard somersault clothesline, called the Water Scroll, where he turned in mid air to somersault. He connected right with the throat of Dragon, who fell straight to the mat, but the veteran’s instincts kicked in as he was able to kick out just in time, causing Samurai to slap the mat in frustration. He then began to work on the legs of the Brit yet again, going for a stretch muffler. Dragon screamed out in pain and flailed desperately to get to the ropes, but he was too far away. He refused to give up however, as he began to kick away at Samurai with his free leg, managing to connect right with the bridge of the nose, forcing the youngster to release him. Samurai staggered backwards, and Dragon quickly sprung to his feet, nailing a few precise kicks to the chest and back before running to the ropes and hitting a springboard missile dropkick. He wasn’t done yet, as he pulled Samurai back up to his feet before driving him into the mat with the Dragon Drop and making the cover.

Winner: UK Dragon by pinfall in 14:52 – B+

Dragon then celebrates for a little while before helped young Samurai up to his feet out of respect and shaking his hand. But when he turns around Samurai clocks him across the back of the head with a stiff clothesline that sends him down to the mat. The rest of the DEMON Army charges out from the back as well, and join in on the beating, leaving Dragon out cold in the ring as they stroll to the back with massive grins on their faces.

B- for the celebration
C+ for the attack.

After a quick break we then see The Great Hisato backstage holding a microphone.

“Tonight I finally have a chance to get back on track yet again, when I face one of my fellow veterans of this company in Awesome Thunder. One thing that has been really getting on my nerves is seeing how many new talents are coming in and getting our spotlight, with the people who really matter, like myself and Koji Kojima, getting completely ignored. That is why tonight I am going to beat the living hell out of my colleague Thunder so that I prove I still have what it takes and that I am better than everybody else.”

Hisato then strolls down the corridor happily on the way to the ring.

Match 4: Awesome Thunder vs. The Great Hisato.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AwesomeThunder.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheGreatHisato.jpg

Thunder was accompanied down to the ring as ever by Mr Miwa, but also Rhino Umaga, who was proudly carrying his title belt across his shoulders. When Hisato came down to the ring, his smile almost instantly disappeared as he realised that the odds were against him and that he would have to work harder than ever before. When the bell rang, Thunder tried to lock up with Hisato but he kept skirting around the older Thunder to try and escape him. However, Thunder was eventually able to stop him in his tracks with a stiff kick to the jaw that sent Hisato down to one knee. Thunder then quickly ran to the ropes and sent the smaller man down to the mat with a running dropkick to the same point on his jaw. Hisato rolled around in pain before scrambling out of the ring, attempting to get some time to breathe, but the veteran Thunder refused to give him anything at all, as he soon came flying over the top with his trademark no hands swan dive senton, colliding with Hisato and sending him right back down to the floor. Both men stayed down for quite some time due to the impact of the dive, but when Hisato tried to get up first, Thunder beat him to it and kick him in the face before rolling back into the ring.

Rhino walked around the ring to Hisato and while Thunder dropped to one knee and distracted the referee claiming a bad ankle, the champ assaulted Hisato, stomping on his head and throwing him like a doll into the ring apron. The big Samoan then rolled Hisato back into the ring with Thunder suddenly being absolutely fine. The veteran Awesome pulled the smaller man up to his feet and whipped him into the corner, but when he tried to follow up with a leaping dropkick Hisato ran out himself and nailed a stiff leg lariat that sent Thunder to the mat. The smaller man then quickly clambered onto the top rope, and when he saw the veteran getting up to his feet, ran across the ropes and nailed the diving cross body, completing the always visually amazing Jade Warrior Plunge. He tried to then hook the leg for the cover, but Thunder kicked out almost right away and then got back up to his feet. Hisato followed him up and locked up with him, but when he tried to force the veteran down to the mat and lock him in a wrist clutch, Thunder rolled and cartwheeled out of it before nailing a leaping knee to the chin of Hisato that sent him straight down to the mat. Thunder took a little time to get his breath back before beginning to pick apart the more agile Hisato by locking him in chin lock variations, trying to weaken his back and neck to stop him from flying around so much.

Hisato’s resilience showed itself once again as he absolutely refused to give up at all, no matter how much pressure and pain Thunder was causing due to hold, but this didn’t deter the veteran, who elbowed Hisato right on the bridge of the nose, causing him to roll away in pain, clutching at his face. Thunder gave him some time but soon pulled him back up to his feet and kicked him in the gut, before trying to take him up and over with a suplex. Hisato wrapped his leg around Thunder’s though, preventing him from lifting him up, and when Thunder leaned back to nail a punch, Hisato ducked it and then threw the veteran up and over with a back suplex. Both men were down for a while, as Hisato stopped for a breather and Thunder was hurting from being dumped on top of his head. Hisato was the first to get up to his feet and he instantly got back in control with a slingshot corkscrew elbow right to the throat that sent Thunder rolling away in pain. The smaller man was right on top of him right away however, as Hisato stomped away angrily at the veteran Thunder before pulling him up to his feet, and whipping him across the ring. He went for a leaping leg lariat, but Thunder was able to dive underneath it and nail another leaping knee to the chin before running to the ropes himself. He tried to hit a running forearm, but Hisato leapfrogged him and then backflipped over Thunder when Thunder tried to hit a baseball slide style dropkick to Hisato’s knees. Thunder got back up to his feet, seemingly confused about what was going on, and easily fell prey to a spinning head scissors that sent him tumbling out of the ring.

Miwa and Rhino helped the veteran up to his feet, but Hisato soon came flying over the top rope with the dazzling Green Emerald Future, sending Thunder down with the head scissors while sending Rhino into the barricade with an arm drag. Miwa scarpered away from all the others and hid underneath the ring while Hisato kicked away at Thunder and rolled him back into the ring. Hisato slowly began to show a more technical side to him, focusing on Thunder’s legs with a few choice leg locks in order to limit the veteran’s legendary skill for a man his age, yet he began to get a little c0cky as always, allowing Thunder to quickly flip a boston crab attempt into a rear naked choke. Hisato was able to roll away into the ropes, dragging Thunder with him, forcing the veteran to release him, but when they got to their feet Thunder laid into the smaller man with stiff elbows and forearms that left him dazed and leaning on the ropes. Thunder took a little time to recover before whipping him across the ring, and when he came back the veteran connected with the now famous gamengiri right to the jaw. Hisato spun around in place before flopping backwards to the mat, totally out of it. Thunder then saw his chance to make it even with Greg Gauge when he quickly locked the unconscious Hisato in the Ace Clutch, and due to his current state, Hisato offered no resistance whatsoever, and when his arm hit the mat for a third time the referee had no choice but to declare Thunder the winner, much to Miwa’s happiness, who emerged from under the ring and celebrated. Rhino didn’t seem to care much, except when he began to beat the life out of Hisato with several tough moves, seemingly sending a message of his own, before finishing Hisato off with a devastating Rhino Charge.

Winner: Awesome Thunder by submission in 17:51 – A

Summary:
Bulldozer Brandon Smith def. Kimuraman – C-
The Tic def. Hypnotiq Jr – C+
UK Dragon def. White Samurai – B+
Awesome Thunder def. The Great Hisato - A

Overall = B+
Notes: Yay, Samurai is really impressing me recently, as is Dragon. Thunder and Hisato pretty much delivered on what I expected, while the Tic and Hypnotiq Jr gave me another surprise, considering how unknown Hypnotiq still is.

Brandon Smith & White Samurai def. Fugunaga & Umehara – C+

As usual, we start off with a quick hype of tonight’s main event, Kojima against Kurofuji.

B

Match 1: Hell Monkey vs. Dean Daniels.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HellMonkey.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DeanDaniels.jpg

Hell Monkey came out to the ring looking as serious and focused as usual, and so did Daniels surprisingly, as most people were doubting whether he would actually show up considering the skill of the King of Demons. Dark EAGLE probably gave him a strong warm up speech or something, and as soon as the bell rang the two locked up right in the middle of the ring with neither giving way in the first few moments of it. Eventually however Hell was able to push his fellow American towards the ropes and then whipped him to the other side of the ring, and when he came back he hit a spinning kick straight to the chest of his fellow veteran. Dean took the shot and screamed at Monkey to hit him again, obviously trying to prove his strength, but this was a mistake as the King of Demons let loose with a lightning fast series of kicks to the face, chest, groin and pretty much every other part of poor Dean’s body, sending the smaller man to the mat a crumpled mess. Monkey shook his head, almost as if in disappointment, and pulled Dean back up to his feet before booting him in the gut. He nailed a strong elbow to the back of the head that sent his fellow gaijin down to one knee, and just when Dean seemed to be trying to get up to his feet he connected with the always amazing Hesitation Kick right to the back of the neck. Dean yelled out in pain and then collapsed striaght back down to the mat.

Monkey again shook his head before stomping away viciously at the back of his head with a sadistic smile on his face. Dean was able to roll away from it and grabbed hold of the ropes to pull himself up to his feet. Monkey tried to take him to the outside with the running leg lariat that has become synonymous with him, but the wily Daniels was able to duck it entirely, causing Monkey to over jump, crash landing on the floor outside. Dean dropped to the mat once more to regain his breath before rolling out of the ring and drive his knees into the side of the Army leaders face. Monkey showed little effect of this however, and when Dean tried to pull him up to his feet, Monkey leapt into the air, displaying his amazing vertical leap, and nail a 360 spin kick right to the space that hit Dean with such impact that he spun around in place as well before collapsing to the floor. Monkey dragged Dean behind him as he climbed back into the ring, and pulled him up with him as he got up to his feet. Daniels was barely responding at all, only coming to when Monkey slapped him across the face and whipped him across the ring. Monkey tried to hit a dropkick, but Daniels was able to slide underneath it and then take the veteran out with a hurrcaranana, going for the cover, but unfortunately only getting a two count. Monkey sprung off of the mat in one beautiful movement, and caught Daniels by surprise with a roundhouse across the face before sending him high in the air backwards with a tiger suplex, going for the cover himself. Daniels managed to kick out somehow, but Monkey didn’t slow down at all, instead running to the ropes. Dean tried to get up to his feet, but Monkey silenced him when he cartwheeled towards him and then nailed the Hell Fire Kick right to the back of the head, knocking Dean out cold. The King of Demons promptly made the cover, and got the victory.

Winner: Hell Monkey by pinfall in 10:27 – B+

After a quick merchandising break we return to see Nate Ca$ino leaning against the wall, in his signature c0cky pose wit his hat down over his face so we can only see his lips and impressive moustache.

“I understand that luck was not on my side last week, but that is what a man in my profession does, we take a gamble on what could and what could not happen. Now this time I know for sure that the dice are in my favour, as I rolled earlier and came up with two sixes, while rolling for my opponent, I got the same as always.”

He smirks before tossing the dice across the table, revealing two ones.

“Snake Eyes!”

Match 2: Mabuchi Furusawa vs. Nathanial Ca$ino

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NathanielCaino.jpg

This was a much more solid match than I was expecting, which has made me re-consider where I am going with these two. When the bell rang, Ca$ino took advantage of Mabuchi still feeling the effects of his recent beating by out running the much bigger man with ease, but he got far too overconfident, sneaking in and slapping the second generation star across the face several times, which didn’t help his case at all as all it did was make Mabuchi more angry with each hit. Eventually the gaijin tried to sneak in again for a clothesline, but Mabuchi clocked him across the face with a stiff elbow before kneeing him several times strongly right to the gut causing Nate to lose his breath and collapse to the mat in pain. Furusawa walked around him, and added a little insult of his own by facewashing the gaijin whenver he tried to get up. He eventually let him up though, only to kick him in the gut and send him high overhead with a release belly to belly suplex. Nate hit the mat hard and rolled out of the ring to recover, only to have the big man follow him out and crack him across the back with a big double axe handle before throwing him across the floor. Nate continually tried to scramble away, but just when Mabuchi grabbed a hold of his hair the gaijin poked the big man straight in the eyes and then nail a backflip kick straight to the chin that sent him staggering backwards.

Nate then took this time to retreat back into the ring and get his breath back. When he saw Mabuchi making his way into the ring he tried to take him out with a baseball slide but the big man caught his legs mid move and then swung the gaijin into the ring post. Nate screamed in pain and collapsed to the floor in a heap, barely moving at all for quite some time. The referee quickly went to his side to check on him, but Furusawa wasn’t done yet, as he rolled him back into the ring and quickly connected with several stiff punches across the face and chin before stomping at the helpless gaijin’s arm. Nate tried to fight Mabuchi off with a few light kicks, but the big man just fought through it and then cinched in a horribly tight cross armbreaker. Nate’s arm was almost being ripped out of it’s socket as he screamed in pain, and to his credit he was refusing to give up. Mabuchi was getting quite angry at this point, and got back up to his feet. Nate tried to scramble away from the big man, but Mabuchi kicked him across the face and then pulled him back up to his feet, only to slap him in a tight arm wrencher/ wrist lock combo. Nate’s face cringed in pain, and he came close to somersaulting out of the hold, but the second he landed on his feet Mabuchi yanked him into a stiff lariat that nearly took his head off before slapping him in the Furusawa Arm bar, which caused the young gaijin to tap out almost right away.

Winners: Mabuchi Furusawa by submission in 7:40 - B

Hell Monkey is seen strolling backstage with a smirk on his face when Emerald Angel blindsides him with a chair shot to the skull, sending him down into a load of debris. Angel readies for another shot, but like ghosts, the rest of the DEMON Army emerges from the shadows to protect their leader, causing Angel to slowly walk backwards before running away down the hall.

The camera focuses on the fallen Monkey, who begins to move and then sits up amidst the wreckage, a bigger smile than before.

Match 3: UK Dragon vs. Jungle Jack.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/JungleJack.jpg

Dragon had the look of confidence on his face, well his body said so at least, while Jack looked his usual, angry and wanting to hurt somebody. When the bell rang, the British veteran tried to out run the big man in order to avoid any damage, but just when it seemed to be working he got caught with a big boot to the side of the head that dazed him long enough for Jack to then kick him in the gut and send him high into the air with a release flapjack. Dragon came crashing down to the mat, and tried to roll out of the ring in order to recover, but Jack was right back on his case as he pulled the veteran into the middle of the ring and kicked away at his knees before locking him in a single leg boston crab. Dragon screamed in pain due to the power the big man was putting into it, but his veteran instincts helped him summon the energy to claw his way over to the ropes, forcing the big man to release him. Dragon then used the ropes to help himself to his feet, but just as he seemed to be ready to go again, Jack charged towards him and clotheslined him over the top rope to the floor below. The brit hit the floor hard on his back, and began to clutch at it. Jack seemed to notice this as he began to work away at that part of the masked man’s body. Dragon tried to fight him off with a few stiff elbows, but they appeared to have little effect as Jack just shook them off and whipped the veteran into the ring apron.

Dragon dropped down to his knees in pain, but this proved to be a further mistake as Jack kicked him strongly in the gut before rolling him back into the ring. He went for the cover, but Dragon showed a great lot of heart by continuing to fight on. The big man then began to pull the veteran up to his feet, but he looked away into the crowd for one second too long, as Dragon caught him with six strong European uppercuts right to the jaw before running to the ropes. Jack tried to clothesline him when he came back, but the wily veteran ducked underneath the arm and then caught the big man with a springboard missile dropkick right to the face that nearly turned him inside out. Dragon tried to make the most of the opportunity by going for the cover, but the big man kicked out just in time, throwing the smaller Dragon clean off of him. The veteran tried to keep him on the mat with a tight cross armbreaker, but the pure strength of Jack allowed him to fight out of it and then get up to his feet, pulling Dragon up with him. The two gaijins then began a vicious exchange of blows, and in the end it was again the power of Jack that won out, as he knocked the veteran out of his boots with a running forearm smash before pulling him back up to his feet. He then tried to whip Dragon into the corner, but the smaller man countered by whipping the big man into the turnbuckles instead, and then followed up with a leaping dropkick to the jaw followed by an enziguri when he staggered out of the corner. Jack still stayed up however, albeit leaning against the ropes, and Dragon saw his chance, charging towards him for a leaping leg lariat. However, Jack sprung full of energy at the last second and caught the veteran in mid air and then tossed him to the outside with a makeshift big back body drop. Jack then followed him outside and the two men began to brawl, and they seemed to forgot about the ring as they fought all the way up the ramp resulting in a double countout.

Winner: Draw due to double countout at 13:21 – B-

After another break, we return to see Koji Kojima in the middle of the ring with a microphone, the crowd were recently on their feet in appreciation but were now taking their seats.

“Thankyou ladies and gentlemen, I am truly happy to be here. However, I am not going to just play to you guys to get you pumped up by saying how great this place is, even though it is that awesome, but instead I am going to talk to you about my opponent tonight, a man by the name of Haru Kurofuji.”

The crowd showers the arena with boos to the sound of that name. Kojima puts up a hand to silence the crowd.

“No please, he is a good man deep down, he is just confused at the moment. I think that first punch our own Face Painted Warrior, Koshiro Ino, laid on the head of my misguided friend knocked the sense out of him. This is why he has been such a d**k to you lot lately.”

The crowd applauds at the point that Kojima seems to understand them.

“So tonight I am going to try and teach a lesson to my friend Haru, to try and bring him back, and if I am unable to triumph over him my friends, then I have failed you, and am not worthy of being in this promotion much longer.”

Kojima gives the microphone back as Haru emerges from the back, taunting his friend for making a big mistake as he walks down the entrance ramp. Kojima just shrugs his shoulders and readies himself for the match.

B for both

Match 4: Koji Kojima vs. Haru Kurofuji.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KojiKojima.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HaruKurofuji.jpg

In a rare show of respect from Kurofuji, he reached out and shook his former partners hand before the match got started, a gesture that drew some applause from the crowd. When the bell rang, they circled around each other, waiting to see who would make the first move before both charging in and locking up in the middle of the ring. Neither man gained any sort of advantage, resulting in a stalemate where they backed away before locking up again. This time, Kurofuji gained the advantage with a quick elbow to the temple of his good friend that stunned him long enough for Haru to then throw him up and over with a gutwrench suplex dropped into a backbreaker, called the Flying Death-trap. Kojima screamed in pain and grabbed at his back before rolling around in agony, but Haru wasn’t going to let him recover, instead racing over to him and trying to go for the cover, but Kojima showed resilience by kicking out almost right away, despite the pain it caused him. Haru noticed this though and began to really home in on his friends back, kicking away at it and locking him in various holds that put as much pressure as possible on that area. Kojima fought through it though, refusing to give up already, and was eventually able to claw his way to the ropes during a single leg Boston crab attempt. Haru honoured his friends wish and backed away, but when he was pulling himself up he ran in and kneed him in the face, sending him straight down again.

Koji clutched at his nose in pain before being dragged back into the middle of the ring and locked in a leg lock/rear chinlock combination hold. Kojima was being bent nearly in half while in this hold, but he still refused to give up, instead falling unconscious while in it. The referee rushed over and checked for a response, the first time he lifted the arm it flopped lifelessly back down to the mat again, and it did the same the second time, but when he lifted it a third time, his arm stiffened and Kojima shot full of life. He was able to wrench his legs free and kick Haru in the gut several times before getting up to his feet. Haru was up soon after, though fairly winded, and tried to take his partner of his feet with a clothesline, but Kojima caught him with a spinning back fist to the nose and then threw him over his shoulder with a judo style arm drag before locking him in an arm bar. Kurofuji was caught completely off guard and struggled to get out of the hold, only just being able to fight his way over to the ropes and placing his foot on them to force his friend to release him. Kojima did so and backed away. Kurofuji slowly got up to his feet, apparently still dazed from the throw earlier, but when Kojima approached him he leapt off of the ropes with a springboard 720 DDT, spiking his partner straight into the canvas. Normally he would have gone for the cover, but he was too tired from the damage he took to capitalise, and when he did eventually try to get the victory with a pinfall attempt, Kojima kicked out at two.

Haru pulled his friend up with him, but got hit with a vicious uppercut to the jaw that sent him reeling backwards into the ropes. Kojima then charged in and hit a massive dropkick right to the face that sent Haru flying over the top and to the floor below. He took a little while to gather some breath back, but when he saw his partner gathering himself on the floor below he leapt up to the top and came flying off with a corkscrew diving arm drag that sent Haru flying into the barricade, causing him to grab his back in pain. Both men were down for a while, with Koji being the first one to move and the first back into the ring, followed soon after by Haru. The two fought their way up to their feet, exchanging elbows and punches before Koji whipped his friend into the corner. Haru was able to stop himself in time, and when Kojima came running towards him he was able to drop into the splits to avoid the avalanche style attack, but Koji was able to stop himself in time as well, landing on the second rope and then climbing onto the top. Haru noticed this though, and after a big run up nailed a high elevation single leg thrust kick to the chest that sent Kojima flying off the corner to the floor below. Haru quickly followed him out a hit a quick standing moonsault before kicking away at him. Kojima put up quite a fight still; refusing to go quietly, and only when Haru drove his head into the apron did he go limp enough for Haru to roll him back into the ring.

Koji almost immediately began to get up to his feet, something that his partner Haru noticed. Kurofuji leapt on top of him instantly and battered away with several punches and knees before going back to working on the legs with varieties of leg locks, ankle locks and knee locks, but nothing could make Kojima tap. Haru pulled him up to his feet to stun him a little bit more before going for the Kurofuji Crab, but when he tried to go for a brainbuster, Kojima was able to flip out of it and hit a big head scissors that sent Kurofuji rolling across the ring. Kojima instantly ran in and went for a clothesline, but Kurofuji leapt into the air and hit another thrust kick to the jaw that sent his fellow veteran straight to the mat. Kurofuji then dragged him towards the opposite corner before walking back across the ring and going up top. Kojima was still down at the moment, but was over half way across the ring from Kurofuji, who signalled for the Suicide Headbutt. The crowd were on their feet to see if he would hit it, and he leapt off the top, getting unbelievable hang time, to the point where it seemed like time had slowed down for him, before coming crashing down right on top of Kojima, connecting with his chest. Kurofuji grabbed his head for a few second before hooking the leg, and getting the victory in quite a hard fought match.

Winner: Haru Kurofuji by pinfall in 15:40 – A

News

New Mexican luchadores Ultra Spark Jr and Mascara Roja Jr, along with British youngster Wade Orson, have signed on for three more matches, to further evaluate their skills for a potential full time spot on the roster.

Card

The first show of the week features a massive main event as the Face Painted Warrior Koshiro Ino takes on ‘Heaven Sent’ Emerald Angel in a rare one on one encounter that is very close to being a David vs. Goliath story. Will Ino’s superior strength lead him to victory, or will it be the silky agility of Angel that leads him to triump of the behemoth?

To open up the night we have a young vs. Old match up as Kid Toma takes on the veteran Tasuku Shinozuka. Toma and his partner Akima Brave have not been heard of much since defeating Half Machine Half Amazing, and will most likely be trying to make an impression in their next few matches. Brave faces off against Snow Fox on the next, will the Samoan team be able to regain some momentum with wins, or will they fall prey to their experienced opponents?

Then in the middle of the first show we have a tag match Dean Daniels teams with fellow Circle of Blood member KOKI Ishibashi to take on The Tic and Snow Fox. Both these two teams have been feuding with other stables as of late, will this lead to one team being not fully focused, along the other to pick up the win? Or will this drive both teams harder to getting the victory, making it a very rough fight?

We then have The Incredible KOYAMA defending his title against Mitsunari Fugunaga in a Hardcore match up, will KOYAMA emerge victorious once again, or can Fugunaga turn his recent lack of fortune around and pick up the upset win?

On the second show, after the opener of Akima Brave against Snow Fox, we have Bussho Makiguchi taking on Hidekazu in a non-title match up. Both have very similar styles, but Hidekazu has a much bigger experience advantage, could this lead to victory for the veteran and a possible shot at the Tap Out title, or will Bussho continue his recent run?

Hell Monkey then takes on his current rival in Dark EAGLE, head of the Circle of Blood. It has been questioned whether or not EAGLE was behind Angel’s attack on his former partner, but some guess it was just pay back for an attack a few weeks ago. Will Monkey triumph and cause the first cracks in the fragile shell of Circle of Blood with a victory over their leader? Or will EAGLE prove that Monkey is all bark and no bite with a victory of his own here, ending Monkey’s recent run as well.

In the main event, we have Magnum KOBE taking on Haru Kurofuji. Both men are being considered for a future shot at the world title, and a victory here could propel them into the title hunt. Will it be the young prodigy or the established star who picks up the big win here tonight?

I'm going with Ino, seeing as Angel tried to lay a hurtin' on Hell Monkey recently, and I see the leader of DEMON Army getting some revenge.

Hidekazu is good, but not great, and Makiguchi is much younger, so the potential will win this one for him.

I'm with Mr Sideburns on this one, Tasuku Who ?

Tag Team
Dean Daniels & KOKI Ishibashi vs. The Tic & Snow Fox

Both of these teams have generally been on the losing end of their feuds, but the Circle's feud is a feud between established mid-carders, whilst the Tic & Snow Fox have been involved in your main lower-card feud.

The Incredible KOYAMA(c) vs. Mitsunari Fugunaga

Routine defence for KOYAMA, you even practically sold Fuganaga as being a jobber by referring to him as being down on his luck.

Koshiro Ino vs. Emerald Angel

Can't really go against Mr Sideburns on this one either, Ino getting some revenge for his friend by laying a beating on the pesky Angel, makes alot of sense.

It's not unquestionable that Snow Fox will win this, as Brave has not been that prominent on the shows, but I'm going with the Samoan.

Might be non title but I don't see much mileage in a feud between Makiguchi and the agening Hidekazu for the Tap Out title.

Circle of Blood need a pick me up and Hell Monkey has an excuse for the loss, that he wasn't a 100 % following Emerald Angel's sneak attack.

KOBE's a future star, actually he's already there but Kurofuji has been on a real roll of late. The veteran to take this via some sort of cheap method, such as a pin with the foot on the ropes.

Match 1: Kid Toma vs. Tasuku Shinozuka.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KidToma.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TasukuShinozuka.jpg

Toma came speeding towards the ring full of energy, and as soon as the bell rang, threw himself at the veteran Shinozuka, firing away with several quick elbows and forearm shots to the head, but when he tried to whip him across the ring Tasuku was able to reverse it and throw the smaller man across the ring instead, and when he came back he sent the youngster up and over with a big back body drop. Toma rolled towards the rope, and used them to pull himself back up to his feet, and when he saw the veteran running towards him to keep his control, Toma leapt into the air and wrapped his legs around the head of Tasuku before throwing him over the top with a make shift head scissors. The veteran tumbled out of the ring with a look of surprise on his face before hitting the hard unforgiving ground. He found his footing fairly quickly fortunately, only to be turned inside out when Toma charged across the ring and leapt over the top rope in one leap to hit a corkscrew diving clothesline, catching the veteran right in the throat. The small man kept up the assault, attacking the veteran with a barrage of punches to the face that forced Tasuku to try and guard against them, but it was to no avail as every single one found it’s target, stunning the veteran long enough for Toma to stand up and roll him into the ring.

The youngster then took the match to the mat, though it was still fairly quick paced for what it was, as Tasuku’s technical skills allowed him to go through a series of sitting switches before Toma somersaulted out of an arm bar attempt and nailed a quick enziguri right to the skull that sent the veteran to the mat again. Toma took control yet again, with a few quick stomps before waiting, almost measuring the veteran, and as soon as Tasuku began to get up to one foot, Toma ran to the ropes and leapt off of them to connect with an amazing springboard head scissors transitioned into an arm bar. Tasuku was caught completely off guard by this, and found it quite hard to escape the hold, with Toma really wrenching back on the arm to apply as much pressure as possible. Eventually though, the veteran was able to summon up the energy to do so and rolled his way over to the ropes, forcing the Samoan to release him and back away. Tasuku slowly pulled himself up to his feet using the ropes as a leaning post almost, but Toma gave him barely any time to rest, instantly running in and kneeing the bigger Tasuku in the gut and then whipped him across the ring. When he came back, Toma ran forward and nailed a vicious leaping headbutt to the skull that knocked Tasuku right out and to the mat. The youngster then eagerly climbed up to the top rope and came flying off with the ever fun to see Long Range Headbutt, and hooked the leg to get the victory in what can arguably be called an upset.

Winner: Kid Toma by pinfall in 7:44 – C+

After Toma has celebrated for a while, Tasuku gets up to his feet and extends his hand to the youngster, when suddenly Samoan Machine emerges from out of nowhere and obliterates the veteran, finishing him off with the Sleeper Plex. Machine raises his relatives hand before they both head to the back.

Match 2: Dean Daniels & KOKI Ishibashi vs. The Tic & Snow Fox.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DeanDaniels.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheTic.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/FoxMask_alt.jpg

When the bell rang, it was Fox against Daniels, and the two instantly collided in the middle of the ring, exchanging blows. Eventually, after there being a few back and forth shots, Dean was able to gain control after a few well placed shots right to the head that sent his fellow American staggering backwards. However, when he tried to follow up with a shoulder block, Fox leapt into the air and connected with a beautiful spinning headscissors that sent Dean tumbling across the ring. The bigger man tried to get up to his feet quickly, but Fox sent him out of the ring with a running dropkick that connected right with the face of the veteran. Dean tried to get some breath back, but this proved to be a mistake as Fox soon came flying over the top with a twisting plancha that crushed Dean underneath. Neither man moved for a while, prompting Koki and The Tic to enter the ring and brawl themselves, and yet again it would be the Circle man who got the advantage, with Koki blocking a few of the Tic’s shots before whipping him across the ring. When he came back Koki booted him in the gut and then launched him high overhead with a back body drop, but the Tic showed his amazing balance when he landed on his feet, then leapt onto the top rope to come flying backwards with a springboard lariat that caught the veteran Koki right in the throat.

Koki staggered backwards, and collapsed to the mat, just as Dean and Fox were re-entering the ring. Dean was trying to get up to his feet when Fox caught him in the chest with a stiff kick before nailing an enziguri that caused the veteran Dean to flop forwards onto the mat. Fox then tagged in the Tic and they began to double team Dean, pulling him up to his feet and whipping him across the ring. When he came back, Fox charged forward and nailed the Fox Hunter, a running yakuza kick, but Dean didn’t go down, but not for much longer as the Tic soon came flying into view with the Tic Leap. The small man quickly scurried to make the cover, but Koki charged into the ring and kicked him stiffly across the face, stunning him. The bigger man then swiftly pulled the gaijin up to his feet, kneed him a few times in the gut and then sent him up and over with a delayed suplex. The Tic grabbed his neck in pain before slowly getting up to his feet. When he looked up, he was face to face with Dean, who kicked him in the gut and nailed the Deaninator, a firemans carry lift into an over the knee neckbreaker. The Tic’s eyes glazed over as he slumped backwards onto the mat, and Dean eagerly made the cover, a massive grin on his face, while KOKI managed to catch Fox with a clothesline before he broke up the pin.

Winners: Daniels & Ishibashi by pinfall in 8:39 - B-

After a quick break we return to see a gathering of the Circle of Blood backstage, with Dark Eagle being flanked by Ishibashi and Koyama. Daniels is slumped against the wall, looking absolutely knackered from his match, for some reason.

“Dean, well done, finally you have proven your worth to this sacred group by smiting his enemies. You shall be richly rewarded, but only if you continue to succeed. You hang on but a thread, one slip and your life will be over with, a little blip of an existence gone.”

Dean initially smiles widely while Eagle is speaking, but as he goes on it becomes a look of fear and worry. He slowly turns away, acting as if he is sleeping, to try and lose their focus. Koyama then turns to Eagle and speaks.

“Eag-“

“High Overlord Eagle to you.”

Koyama has a look of mild bemusement on his face at this statement before carrying on.

“Sure, whatever floats your boat my ‘liege’, but what are we going to do about Hell Monkey. He’s sure to want revenge.”

Eagle shrugs off that statement with a flick of his hand.

“After what we did to him, he’ll never want to even set his foot within two hundred miles of this arena, but due to him being such an idiot as he has proven to us before, he will probably try and exact that revenge. And if he should do so, then he will have brought forth all the pain and suffering that the master can give, and his life will truly become that of a Hell Monkey.”

Koyama can’t believe how arrogant his leader is being and walks off shaking his head. Eagle then turns to Ishibashi.

“Keep an eye out for Monkey, and make sure that Koyama doesn’t do anything he will regret.”

Ishibashi bows and heads off in the same direction as Koyama. Eagle looks around before setting his eyes on Dean, who is cuddled up like a baby and sucking his thumb.

“..I hope the master has a decent retirement plan, because after what I’ve been through with this....thing, I damn well deserve one.”

He walks off slowly as the camera zooms in on Dean, who begins to flail about with his free hand as if he is under attack.

Match 3: The Incredible KOYAMA(c) vs. Mitsunari Fugunaga
For the World Level Streetfighting Title

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MitsunariFugunaga.jpg

The champ came down to the ring to a fair bit of applause and was pushing his now signature trolley filled with weapons, including his favourite weapon, the wooden staff that gave him his last title defence victory. Mitsunari on the other hand came down to next to nothing while looking as bland as possible. When the bell rang, the two men locked up, with Koyama quickly coming out on top with a strong kick to the gut followed up with a hip toss that sent his opponent high into the air. Koyama nailed a nice jumping knee drop before rolling out of the ring and grabbing something from his trolley. The fans cheered when they saw it was a stop sign, and Koyama tossed it into the ring as he rolled in. Mitsunari was barely on his feet when Koyama nailed a leaping forearm to the jaw that sent him right back down to the mat, only for the champ to pull him back up and whip him across the ring. When he came back, Koyama brought the stop sign down right on top of his head, and it connected with a sickening thud. Mitsunari flipped over from the impact and looked out of it already, but Koyama wasn’t yet done, as he cracked the sign over the helpless Fugunaga’s back before rolling back out of the ring. He played to the crowd a little bit, slapping a few hands etc., before grabbing another weapon from the trolley.

In fact he grabbed three weapons, a chair, his wooden staff and a kendo stick. He threw all of them into the ring before rolling back in, and as soon as he was on his feet he began to scout his opponent, who was still barely managing to stay awake let alone get up to his feet. Koyama waited until he was up to one knee, then connected with a thrust kick to the side of the head before running to the ropes. Mitsunari luckily, well unluckily for him, fell forward onto the steel chair, and the champ noticed this, leaping off the ropes and nailing a springboard leg drop right over the back of Mitsunari’s head, nearly knocking him out. Koyama pulled him up to his feet before cracking the kendo stick stiffly over his head, with the stick splintering into a hundred pieces. The challenger staggered around before flopping forward to the mat. He was bleeding fairly heavily from the forehead now, and to his credit he kept fighting, as he was soon making his way up to his feet. The champ saw this and grabbed the wooden staff before holding it high in the air, which caused the fans to cheer loudly due to them knowing what was coming next. Mitsunari slowly got up to his feet, staggered backwards and was beaten to a near pulp with the Ong Bak Beatdown, with Koyama smacking him across the face multiple times, jabbing him in the gut, smacking him in the chin, back, knees and then in the front of the legs, causing the challenger to flip forward. Koyama brought the staff down on his gut before then pulling a lifeless Fugunaga up to his feet and nailing the Amazing Plex, a twisting brainbuster, and going for the cover. It was academic from there on, with Koyama retaining and Mitsunari being carted off by the medics due to the beating he just suffered.

Winner: The Incredible KOYAMA by pinfall in 10:37 – B-

Koshiro Ino is then seen walking backstage, when suddenly Haru Kurofuji leaps out from a doorway and assaults the big man, laying into him with several punches, knees and kicks before trying to put him through a food table. Ino stops him dead in his tracks here, first by being too heavy for the smaller man to lift, and secondly by laying into him with even stronger punches and kicks, before whipping him into the nearby wall. Haru hits it with a sickening crunch, but Ino swiftly picks him back up to his feet and then plants him through the table with a release powerbomb, splitting it in two.

The Face Painted Warrior takes some time to get his breath back before making his way down to the ring, a slightly limp in his right leg, and when he leaves the shot the camera zooms in on the motionless Kurofuji.

Match 4: Koshiro Ino vs. Emerald Angel.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KoshiroIno.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EmeraldAngel.jpg

Koshiro looks slightly out of breath and bruised from the little battle backstage, but he strides down to the ring with a look of a determination and pride on his face as usual. Angel looked fairly angry when he was walking down to the ring, probably because he felt like he was being punished, one week he attacks Hell Monkey, and his first match after that being against Koshiro Ino. When the bell rang, Angel was able to use his superior agility to run circles around the big man, keeping out of range while occasionally running in to nail a few quick shots before leaping out of range again. This worked for a while, due to Ino being a little tired, but Angel began to get a bit too overconfident, taking too long to get out of range for example, and ended up on the wrong end of a massive clothesline from Ino that nearly turned him inside out. The Face Painted Warrior let out a loud roar of adrenaline before jumping up and down on the spot, and as soon as Angel was up to his feet he charged at him and sent him flying across the ring with a massive shoulder block. Angel rolled out of the ring in agony, trying to catch a breather, but Ino followed him out and laid into him with several stiff punches, and after a strong elbow that sent Angel staggering backwards towards the announce table, Ino tried to nail a running spear, but Angel caught him in mid air with a hurracanrana that sent the big man into the table instead. Angel let out a massive sigh of relief before rolling back into the ring to recover, and it was quite a while before Ino was back up and ready to fight, having hit the table with the top of his head.

The big man was up eventually however, and he rolled slowly into the ring, but he was instantly met with an amazingly quick assault from Angel, who nailed a running enziguri, and then followed up with a running handspring into a corkscrew moonsault. The smaller man then tried to follow up with a cover, but Ino just threw him off, and got up to his feet. Angel tried to get back in control again with a running dropkick, but he just bounced off of his chest before landing on the mat. Ino laughed at him before running to the ropes. Angel had no idea what was going on, and turned around into a running forearm smash right to the top of the head, causing him to flip in the air from the impact. As soon as he landed he grabbed his forehead in pain, but this was a mistake as it left him open to Ino, who yanked him up to his feet by his mask before whipping him into the corner. As soon as he hit the turnbuckles Ino tried to follow up with a running splash, but Angel leapt up onto the top rope and then jumped over his head before running to the ropes. Ino staggered out of the corner, having headbutted one of the turnbuckles, and Angel was able to nail a sliding kick to the knee, bringing the big man down. Angel went up to the top rope, seemingly going for the Angel Fury, but just after he leapt off the top Ino rolled out of the way. Fortunately he was able to roll it through with crash landing, but when he ran towards Ino he was caught with the Back Snapper, with his head bouncing off the canvas from the impact.

Ino took a moment to get his breath back before going on the offensive, and he managed to catch both the fans and Angel himself off guard when he took the match to the mat, locking the much smaller man in a tight arm bar, and considering how strong Ino is, it looked incredibly painful. Angel tried to fight his way out, and when that didn’t work he tried to claw his way over to the ropes, only to have Ino get up and casually drag him back into the middle of the ring. He really cinched it in after that, with Angel howling in pain, before finally being able to claw his way over to the ropes somehow. Ino was confused at how this happened and quickly got up to his feet, kicking away at the damaged Angel, who desperately tried to cover up but to no avail. The big man then turned around and played to the crowd, but this gave Angel the chance to bounce off the ropes onto Ino’s shoulders, twist around and snap off a beautiful hurracanrana before going for the cover.

Ino was able to kick out just in time, if he hadn’t Angel would have stolen the victory right there. Ino’s anger suddenly emerged again, because as soon as he was up to his feet he pulled Angel up, lifted him high into the air, and then planted him with a deadly chokebomb, then repeatedly drove his elbow into the back of his head. Angel was left helpless, as just enough elbows got through to knock him out. He didn’t stop there however, as he got up to his feet and pulled the limp Angel up with him and whipped him into the corner. As soon as he hit the turnbuckles Ino followed up with a big running splash before then throwing the smaller man all the way across the ring with a choke toss. Angel hit the mat hard, and was barely able to catch a single breath before Ino pulled him up to his feet and whipped him across the ring into the ropes. When he came back, he was nearly decapitated with the Kobra’s Bite, and Ino made the cover, getting the slightly hard fought victory due to the resistance Angel put up.

Winner: Koshiro Ino by pinfall in 16:49 – A

Haru Kurofuji suddenly emerges from the back, with his ribs taped from earlier, and then charges down to the ring. Ino notices and runs to meet him in the middle of the ramp. The two collide and instantly begin to brawl again from where they left off earlier, and just before we finish our feed, we see them heading backstage.

Notes: Fox performed better than I expected, as did Toma, although Tasuku is a very solid opponent, so it could just as much have been him.

Good to see you back, was fearing this one was dead in the water. Hopefully you can update a bit more regularly again in the future, as this is really good, more people than myself and hrdcoresideburns need to know about the greatness of this diary (I'm sure that's what it looks like to you at times !).

Anway that Koshiro Ino- Emerald Angel match, was superb. I don't know about you, but a good big man vs little man match are my favourite matches to write for, I certainly enjoyed reading your take on the formula with Ino vs Angel.

You, sir, are like an abusive relationship. No matter how badly you treat me, or how many times you blow me off, I still keep coming back. Curses to you!

Seriously, though... it's about time. :D

Cheers for the support guys, and I agree Tigerkinney, they are some of the more fun matches to write. Glad to be of service hrdcoresidebrns :D. Sorry about not posting for ages, my school load, due to being in A2, has been absolutely ridiculous. So I’ve not had any time for this. From now on I’ll look to post both shows by Friday night at the earliest, and by Sunday at the latest

And just to let you know, the next batch of shows will have significantly smaller write-ups, with the big write-ups being saved for the PPVs, due to me, despite having such a long hiatus, feeling burnt out and feeling that some of the matches (except the Ino/Angel match) are getting repetitive and drawn out. If you feel otherwise, feel free to say, as I would like to know what you guys think.

Match 1: Akima Brave vs. Snow Fox.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AkimaBrave.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/FoxMask_alt.jpg

Both men walked down to the ring with a focused expression on their faces, but when they tried to intimidate each other, it was clear that Akima had the advantage in both build and size, as he towered over the veteran Fox. When the bell rang, they locked up, and it was Akima who used his advantage to gain control, forcing Fox into the ropes. A few moments passed where Fox tried to wrestle his way out of that situation, but Akima stopped him in his tracks with two quick stiff knees right to the gut before whipping him across the ring. He ran to the ropes as soon as he saw Fox coming back, and when he bounced off them he leapt into the air and connected with a vicious leaping headbutt right to the face of the veteran Fox, who grabbed his head upon hitting the mat. Akima was instantly upon the veteran without a second to lose, and he began to unload with a series of punches, kicks and stomps that forced Fox to roll out of the ring in order to get his breath back, but yet again Akima was right there, and he clocked the veteran in the back of the head with a sharp elbow strike.

Fox staggered forward and leant on the ring post, which made Akima smile a sadistic smile. He stomped his feet before running towards Fox, aiming for a running head butt, but the veteran seemed to sense him coming, as he moved away a split second before the Samoan would have hit him, causing Akima to headbutt the ring post, which sent the youngster flying forward, twisting in mid-air, and clutching his head in agony once he hit the floor. Fox was then in control for the rest of the match, due to Akima being in a lot of pain. The veteran sensed the end after hitting a backbreaker, and raised his hands up for the crowd before pointing an invisible gun at Akimba and pulling the trigger before charging towards the youngster. Akima repayed the favour from when he ducked the shot just in time, grabbed the extended leg and nailed a reverse dragon screw leg whip, causing Fox to scream in pain and roll around on the mat. Akima took his time getting up to his feet, and when he saw that Fox was still in the floor he ran to the ropes, leapt onto the top one, and then sprung off with a visually amazing 450 Headbutt, colliding right with the chest of Fox, knocking every bit of breath out of him. The youngster followed up with the cover, and managed to snatch the victory.

Winner: Akima Brave by pinfall in 8:12 – C+

We go backstage to see Bussho Makiguchi strutting down the hallway, with some girls crowding around him to try and get a date. Nariaki Hitomi pokes his head round the corner, and begins to drool.

“Now now ladies, as awesome as it is having you all around me, i have a few things to say to an old friend of mine, so i’ll see you later okay?”

There are several groans of disappointment but the girls soon leave the shot, and Hitomi is seen rushing past the camera in their direction, and soon after the usual slapping sound is heard, only this time there are about seven.

Bussho positions the title on his shoulder and looks at the camera, a smirk on his face.

“Silver Shark, you and I have faced many times before, and I now have a little challenge for you. Two weeks ago, I defeated you in that very ring in a match, no help, just me, myself and my awesome skills. But I don’t feel that I have truly shown myself to be better than you until I take what is strapped, wrongly I might add, around your waist.”

The smile becomes bigger, and Bussho takes a moment to polish his title before looking back at the camera.

“I am talking about that Show Stealer title, and i challenge you for it at ‘WLW: One Time For Chicken’. Then, I will become one of the select few who have held two titles at once, and it won’t stop there, consider yourself a speedbump on my ride to the top. I expect an answer soon Shark, or else I will force it out of you.”

B-

Match 2: Hidekazu vs. Bussho Makiguchi.
Non-Title.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Hidekazu.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg

Bussho was still looking confident as he headed to the ring, and the smirk, as big as it was, just got bigger when he saw his opponent heading to the ring, as it was the aging veteran Hidekazu. When the bell rang, the Tap Out champ scurried in and locked up with the veteran before trying to take him off his feet with a drop toehold, but Hidekazu was able to stay up on his feet and kick the youngster in the jaw before running to the ropes. Bussho stayed on the mat, rolling under the veterans legs, and when he came back, launched himself into the air nailed a vicious uppercut right to the chin of Hidekazu, sending the experienced star straight down onto the mat. He rolled around rubbing his jaw, and before he could get up he found himself on the wrong end of a deadly assault from the champ, who laid into Hidekazu with a series of elbows right to the back and neck. The match then took itself to the mat, with the champ locking the veteran in a tight arm bar, wrenching the limb back from time to time to add to the pressure. Hidekazu almost gave up there and then, but his instincts kicked in and he was able to fight his way over to the ropes, forcing Bussho to release him.

The champ obliged the older man and took a few steps back, but as soon as Hidekazu was up to one knee the youngster charged in and battered away at him with a vicious series of elbows and forearms to the face, sending Hidekazu reeling backwards into the ropes, and just when Bussho was winding up for a running forearm smash, Hidekazu was able to see what was coming, and when the champ ran towards him, he dropped to the mat, pulling the top rope down with him, causing Bussho to go tumbling over and down to the floor below. Hidekazu took a few moments to regain his breath before running to the ropes, and when he came back he flew over the top with a plancha, catching the champ right in the chest. Bussho collapsed to the floor, grabbing at his lungs before slowly getting up and rolling into the ring, trying to get away from Hidekazu, who was right on his tail. The veteran pulled him up to his feet, only to get another uppercut to the jaw and then sent up and over with a gutwrench suplex. Bussho took a moment to get some breath before continuing the assault, pulling the veteran up, kicking him in the gut and then nailing a nasty release German suplex, folding Hidekazu up like an accordion. The champ took a few steps back, signalled to the crowd, and when the veteran was on one knee, he charged forward and nailed a sliding version of the Blazing Elbow right to the temple, and then locked in the Pride Stretch on a limp Hidekazu, with the referee awarding the match to the youngster.

Winners: Bussho Makiguchi by submission in 9:17 - B-

After a quick break, we return to a dark room somewhere backstage. The only item of light is coming from the corner of the room, and the camera slowly approaches it. Suddenly, a massive form blocks out that light, and the door the cameraman entered through is slammed shut. A red light comes up, illuminating a majority of the room, though some dark areas are completely dark. The massive form turns out to be Bulldozer Brandon Smith, now covered in biker tattoos and a look of disgust on his face, and just at that moment we hear something behind us, the camera spins around to reveal Jungle Jack with his arms folded across his barrel chest, looking menacingly down at the poor cameraman.

The camera begins to shake wildly as the man looks for a way out, but he only finds more scary things when we see White Samurai perched on top of a massive block, looking inquisitively at the camera as if he had never seen it before. He remains up there, with only his head and arms in sight, while the camera turns around once again, this time revealing a figure crouching and leaning against the corner, only his legs and lower body being visible. The camera shakily approaches the figure when White Samurai jumps down in front of the man, nearly making him drop the equipment. Just when it seems like Samurai is going to attack the poor crew member, the figure raises a hand, and he stops still. A deep voice then emanates from the figure, a voice that sounds familiar but still deeper than we are used to.

“I see you have managed to acquaint yourselves with my friends, or as he would say, my ‘minions’. You see, for years a group known as the Circle of Blood have been basically running the show, attacking anything and everything they want to. Many people have tried to stop them, and all have failed....until now. Because now, the full power of one of the most feared forces in the universe has made its way to WLW, in a quest to extinguish their presence.”

He motions with the same hand as usual, and White Samurai produces a samurai sword, held in a very elaborate jewel-encrusted sheath, and presents it to the figure, who grasps it tightly in his hands.

“This is what gives us our power, the Vanquisher of Souls, the sword of him himself. This was given to us in order to be able to properly carry out our quest, and with it not only will we eradicate the Circle, but remove every single part of their presence.”

He hands the sword back to White, who attaches it to his belt, before hiding it under his cloak. The figure joins his hands on top his knees, before placing one of them on his face, almost as if in shame.

“It has been in the back of my mind, that someday, when I returned from my venture down below, that I would have to gather myself a loyal following of people that can help me to vanquish our foes, and possibly later take up my mantle when I am called back as his right hand.”

He gestures towards Jungle Jack and Bulldozer with his left and right hands respectively.

“These two, you may remember them as some of your most popular bruisers in recent times, but they have been re-made. They came back with me, and we’re re-forged in the very deepest furnaces with the darkest fires, creating the true specimens before you. With the death of their previous bodies, they took up the names of Jackhammer and Dozer, and are now the most destructive forces every to step foot in a WLW ring, with no remorse, and absolutely no mercy shown towards their enemies.”

Dozer and Jackhammer stand either side of the figure with arms crossed, the tattoos looking more devilish than before. The figure points upwards, revealing White Samurai now hanging upside down from the ceiling, before dropping down in front of the camera.

“That man, is not only the keeper of the scrolls of the darkest secrets, but the wielder of the deadliest weapons every seen, the sword that gives us our power. His name is Guardian, and he never speaks, his actions being enough to speak a thousand words.”

The figure stands up, but his face is still hidden from the light, helped by the large shadows of Jackhammer and Dozer.

“My name is Death, but you used to know me as Hell Monkey, and Circle of Blood, this is your final warning. You attacked me, when I had warned you that your time was up, and that caused him to call me back and bestow upon me this mission. I offer you the chance to leave here and never return, or to surrender, as the last thing I want is to have to remove you permanently from this earth, but if you choose not to heed this warning, then you will be subjected to suffering on a level that you cannot even dream of.”

Loud knocks are heard on the door that the cameraman entered through, and when the camera spins around to see what the commotion is, KOKI Ishibashi and Dean Daniels burst through the door. When the camera turns back to where the figure was sitting, there is nothing there, leaving not only the cameraman, but also Koki and Daniels looking very confused. A note is seen in the spot where the figure was though, and Koki goes to pick it up, before dropping it and running out of the room, and down the hall towards the ring. The camera zooms in and the note reads:

“It Has Begun.”

B+

Match 3: Hell Monkey vs. Dark EAGLE

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HellMonkey_alt.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DarkEagle.jpg

When the bell rings, Monkey instantly ran towards Eagle and went for a clothesline, and even though the veteran managed to duck the attack, the leader of the DEMON Army was able to quickly adjust and nail the smaller man with a back elbow right to the head, stunning him. Before he could recover at all, Monkey was upon him almost instantly with a running forearm to the back of the head, sending him face first into the mat. A short brawl then ensued, with the two trading blows until Monkey was able to nail a stiff looking elbow right to the jaw that stunned Eagle enough for the demon to get a few more shots in, and from then on it was pretty much all Monkey. He was able to get several more shots in before transitioning to a tight knee lock, twisting the leg from time to time to make sure that he dealt as much damage as possible, but just when it seemed like he was going to snap the leg, Eagle was able to kick him in the face with his leg and then scurry over to the ropes and roll out of the ring. This was a big mistake however, because as soon as he got his breath back and turned around to get back in the ring, Monkey nailed a running baseball slide right to the chest that sent the Circle leader flying backwards into the barricade, hitting it with sickening thud.

Monkey continued the attack, connecting with a few knees to the face before rolling Eagle back into the ring. The veteran Japanese star desperately tried to get a timeout, and when he saw it didn’t work resorted to cheating with a thumb to the eye, but instead of stopping Monkey, it only served to anger him, as he nailed a devastatingly stiff kick to the chest of the veteran, which sent Eagle straight back onto the mat and out of the ring again. Monkey stayed in the ring this time, using the time to get some breath back, and when Eagle tried to slyly re-enter the ring, he dragged his rival into the middle of the ring, yanked his head up, and let loose with a series of stiff kicks to the face, which nearly knocked Eagle out. To his credit however, he slowly began to make his way up to his feet, only to get kicked in the gut. However, when Monkey went for the Hesitation Kick to the head, Eagle was able to sidestep it and then nail a leaping enziguri before running to the ropes. Monkey dropped down to one knee, and then turned into a big head scissors that sent him tumbling across the canvas. Monkey got up fairly quickly, but this left him lightheaded, and allowed Eagle to run forward and connect with a dropkick to the knee before hitting a thrust kick to the side of the head, causing Monkey to flop to the mat. Eagle couldn’t believe his luck and went up to the top rope, but when he went for the Thunder Shock, Monkey got his knees up, causing the veteran to crash and burn on them.

Eagle screamed in pain and clutched at his back before getting up to his feet, and the pain distracted him to the point where he didn’t see Monkey springboarding off the ropes, allowing the Army leader to connect with a springboard twisting kick right to the face, flipping Eagle over. The veteran slowly got up to his feet, rubbing his chin, and didn’t see the next move coming, as Monkey backflipped into the air and nailed the Hell Fire Kick out of nowhere before making the cover, getting the victory.

Winner: Death/Hell Monkey by pinfall in 13:57 – B-

We have a quick break, and when we come back we remind the crowd about the recent run that Kurofuji has, and that the winner of this match could go on to face Rhino Umaga at One Time For Chicken.

B+

Match 4: Haru Kurofuji vs. Magnum KOBE.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HaruKurofuji.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MagnumKobe.jpg

Before the match started, Kobe looked very focused on this match, with the chance of facing Umaga once again and get the belt, while Kurofuji walked down to the ring with a grin that just oozed confidence. They stood on opposite sides of the ring, but never once did they break eye contact with each other, and as soon as the bell rang they charged into the middle of the ring and locked up, with neither man really being able to gain control initially, but after a quick kick to the knee, Kurofuji was able to seize it and boot the youngster in the gut before throwing him across the ring with a hip toss. Kobe grabbed his back and got up to his feet fairly quickly, only just being able to dodge a clothesline attempt, and when Haru turned around, kicked him in the gut before running to the ropes. Haru tried to follow after him, but this was a mistake on his part, as Kobe moonsaulted off of the top rope and nailed a springboard reverse DDT, driving the veteran’s head right into the canvas. The rising star then tried to go for the early cover, but Haru was able to kick out before the referee had even reached one, and then rolled out of the ring. He took a few moments to get some breath back, but as soon as he tried to get back in the ring Kobe kicked him in the face through the ropes, then hit a slingshot splash, squashing the veteran underneath him. Both stayed down for quite some time before moving, with Kobe being the first to do so. Haru was right behind him when he rolled back into the ring, and as soon as he was on his feet he began to brawl with the youngster.

Neither man gained the advantage, with the exchange going for several shots before Kobe was able to duck a shot and nail three quick jabs to the face, stunning Haru, before snapping off a beautiful leaping hurracanrana, dumping the veteran on his head. Haru rolled around grabbing it in pain, and barely had time to get up to his feet before Kobe came running towards him and nailed a basement dropkick to the chest. Haru collapsed to mat, leaving him open to a quick leg drop from the youngster, who then locked the veteran in a leg lock. He occasionally twisted the foot to add to the pressure, but Haru’s experience shone through when he began to make his way towards the ropes. Kobe refused to let him get out of it that easily though, as he loosened the hold so he could kick the veteran in the back before dragging him back into the middle of the ring, before dropping to the mat and grapevining the leg lock. Haru yelled out in pain, due to the amount of pressure the hold had, and came very close to tapping out. However, he realised that there was a way out, and began to try and roll towards the ropes. Due to the way Kobe was positioned, he rolled along with Haru, but this didn’t stop the veteran, who eventually managed to get to the ropes. Kobe slapped the mat in frustration before getting up to his feet, and he instantly pulled Haru up to his feet. The veteran caught him with a quick elbow to the gut before rolling him up with a small package. Kobe just managed to kick out, but Haru was instantly on top of him again, blasting away with a few punches before locking him in a single leg Boston crab.

He came very close to forcing Kobe to tap out, but the youngster’s drive and determination rose to the surface as he painfully clawed his way over to the ropes and grabbed hold of them. Haru released him before stepping back, and as soon as Kobe was up to his feet he tried to rush forward and nail a dropkick, but the damage done to his leg earlier on in the match made him stumble and trip up. Kobe took a few moments to get some breath before heading up to the top rope, and just when he reached it, Rhino Umaga appeared out of nowhere, followed close behind by Mr Miwa, and when Kobe tried to leap off and connect with the corkscrew Shooting Star Press, called the Destiny Dust, Umaga caught him in mid-air with a vicious Rhino Charge, almost breaking him in half. Kurofuji saw what was happening, and got up to his feet to join in the beating, but Rhino floored him as well with a spinebuster. The referee, having lost all control of the match, called it a draw due to stoppage.

Winner: Draw due to referee stoppage in 15:42 – A

Mr Miwa raised his client’s hand with a look of pure pride on his face, before they both headed up the ramp. Kobe had begun to come to, and when he saw Umaga, he instantly locked eyes and shouted angrily towards the champion, who looked similarly as angry. The crowd booed the roof off the building, showering the boos onto Umaga, but Miwa just shrugged them off and shouted insults at a still fuming Kobe.

A

Akima Brave def. Snow Fox – C+
Bussho Makiguchi def. Hidekazu – B-
Death Monkey def. Dark EAGLE – B-
Haru Kurofuji vs. Magnum KOBE – no contest - A

Overall = B+

What did you guys think of that DEMON Army promo? I spent a while on it so I would appreciate feedback.

WorldLevelWrestling.jp

News

No news this week

Card

This week we have two big main events that you don’t want to miss. On the first show, we actually have two main events, with Rhino Umaga facing Mabuchi Furusawa in a non-title match up before we see Greg Gauge taking on Samoan Machine. Can Mabuchi get the victory over Umaga and possibly enter himself in the World title match this Sunday? Or will the champ be as dominant as before and leave a battered mess on the mat where Mabuchi once stood?

To kick off that first show we have exciting tag team action as Ultra Spark Jr., making his main show debut, teams with fellow Mexican Invasion stable member Hypnotiq Jr to take on Little People leader The Tic and Panda Mask II. Can Panda Mask finally get a victory, and begin to even up the odds for his stable, and can Ultra Spark prove successful in his main debut?

We then have an interesting match up with Nathanial Ca$ino taking on Silver Shark and Americana with an unknown partner. It has been officially announced that Nate and Americana will meet one more time at One Time For Chicken, but who will come out on top here, and who will the mystery partner be? Nate has assured us it is a current member of the roster, and a real tough nut.

Then in the final show before One Time For Chicken, we start off with the climax of the Little People/Mexican Invasion feud that has rocked the undercard, as all the Little People team up with Snow Fox to take on Invasion members Magnifico, Hijo Del Relampago, Hypnotiq Jr and Ultra Spark Jr. Who will get the last laugh when all the cards are down?

We then have Akima Brave of the Samoan Wildboyz taking on current tag team champion UK Dragon. Having issued a challenge to the DEMON Army a few weeks ago, Dragon has yet to have an answer, something we hope to see this week. Can Brave take advantage of the veteran’s focus being elsewhere and get the upset? Or will Dragon still come out on top and keep momentum heading into the tag title match this Sunday?

Nathanial Ca$ino is apparently on the look for some real competition as he takes on The Great Hisato on this show, with some people wondering if he is out of his depth. Can he get the massive upset, or will Hisato finally pick up a win after months of being down on his luck?

Before the main event, we have Emerald Angel taking on the heavy hitter of the DEMON Army, Jackhammer, in preparation for his match against Hell Monkey at the Pay-Per-View. Can he come out on top, or will it be the DEMON Army that has the last laugh by destroying the young star before he even gets to the event?

Then in the main event, we have Magnum KOBE taking on the long time partner of his rival Rhino Umaga. If he were to get a victory here, then he would almost definitely get a title shot, something he has been dying to get. Will Machine stop this dream in its tracks? Or will KOBE pull off the massive victory and have a second chance at the belt?

I think the promo got over the craziness of WLW, I mean Death/Hell Monkey's probably trying to sound threatening, but the fantastical language just makes him look bonkers, which suits WLW to a tee :D

WLW Squirrels Jubilee Tour Show #7

Tag Team
Ultra Spark Jr. & Hypnotiq Jr vs. The Tic & Panda Mask II

I think Spark should get a win on his debut

WLW Squirrels Jubilee Tour Show #8

Eight-Man Tag Team
The Little People & Snow Fox vs.Mexican Invasion (Hypnotiq, Magnifico, Relampago and Ultra Spark)

It's been pretty one sided so far this rivalry, but I see the Little People getting a win back in this 8 Man.

Singles
Akima Brave vs. UK Dragon

Dragon's experience will be the difference

Singles
Nathanial Ca$ino vs. The Great Hisato

Hisato's a class above Ca$ino

Singles
Emerald Angel vs. Jackhammer- DRAW

On one hand Jackhammer's part of a hot new stable and Emerald Angel seems a bit directionless, but Angel could still be one of your top guys. I'm going to cop out on this one and call it as a draw.

Singles
Samoan Machine vs. Magnum KOBE

Can't see past a KOBE win, this match is just to delay his eventual showdown with Umaga/soften him up a bit.

Match 1: Ultra Spark Jr & Hypnotiq Jr vs. The Tic & Panda Mask II.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UltraSpark.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Hypnotiq.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheTic.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/PandaMask.jpg

The Tic and Panda Mask shared a few quick words, seemingly wishing each other luck, before the match got under way, with Panda facing off against the newcomer Ultra Spark. When the bell rang, both men collided in the middle, but Panda was a bit too overzealous, allowing him to fall prey to a stiff kick to the side from Ultra Spark, who then promptly whipped his fellow youngster into the ropes. Panda was able to leap frog the luchador, but when he came back again he found himself on the wrong end of a leaping dropkick right to the jaw, sending him to the mat. Spark ran to the ropes and tried to connect with a flip senton, but Panda kipped up out of the way and then swept his opponent’s leg when he got up to his feet, only to be caught with a kip up hurracanrana out of nowhere that sent him tumbling across the ring. He got up to his feet, and Spark tried to follow up with a clothesline, but Panda was able to duck it and then take down the luchador with a backslide, only to get a two count. Spark tried to get back on the offensive, but got a back elbow the jaw from Panda who then nailed a swift neckbreaker, bringing the ambitious luchador to the mat.

Panda tagged out to The Tic, who came bounding into the ring eagerly, easily gaining control of the younger Spark due to his experience, but when he tried to keep him on the mat with an arm bar, the youngster was able to constantly either roll out or somersault out of the hold, much to the frustration of the Tic, who kicked him in the face when he kipped up out of a wrist wrench. The fans cheered this, but it brought in Hypnotiq, who brawl viciously with the Tic, eventually getting the upper hand with an enziguri out of nowhere followed by a spinning head scissors. Spark saw what was happening and pulled the downed Tic up to his feet, trying to double team him with Hypnotiq, but Panda Mask came flying into view, nailing Hypnotiq with a running dropkick to the side of the head that sent him tumbling over the top rope, but when he tried to take out Ultra Spark, the Luchador threw The Tic in the way, causing Panda to nail a dropsault right to the face of his mentor. Spark threw the shocked Panda out of the ring before hitting the Honor De La Familia, a double springboard moonsault, and got the upset debut victory.

Winner: Ultra Spark & Hypnotiq by pinfall in 7:39 – C

We go backstage to where Nathanial Ca$ino is seen to be counting through some money, licking his finger from time to time to make sure he isn’t giving any extra away.

“Now if I give this to you, you promise me that you will get me the victory here tonight? Because I cannot risk losing to that fool again. It’s his time to get Snake Eyes, not mine.”

The camera zooms out and pans to the right, revealing Dozer from the DEMON Army standing with his arms across his chest. He does not answer the question, except for a slight nod and a grunt. Guardian drops down from the ceiling and hands Nate a piece of paper, and Ca$ino reads it out loud.

“He gives you his highest promise, for his master does not accept failure, and he shall be punished in the fires of the darkest forges if he were to do such a thing as lose tonight.”

Nate has an incredulous look on his face, and looks from Guardian to Dozer, then back at the note, before closing it and handing the money to Dozer.

“O...kay, whatever, just do what you do best and give me the win, or I will make sure your master does punish you.”

Dozer doesn’t look happy with this threat, and leans towards Nate, who lets out a yelp and scurries away from the scene.

Match 2: Nathanial Ca$ino & Dozer vs. Silver Shark & Americana.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NathanielCaino.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BulldozerBrandon_alt6.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AmericanElemental.jpg

There was a slight advantage for Nate’s team, due to the sheer power and size of Dozer, but the young star decided against using his hired gun at the beginning, instead choosing to face off against his rival. When the bell rang, they charged towards each other, but Americana caught the gambler with a kick to the chest that stopped him in his tracks before hitting a leaping kick to the back of the head, sending Nate straight to the mat. Dozer looked less than pleased, but when he saw his buyer in trouble, with Americana setting him up for a grounded double underhook, he charged into the ring and kicked his fellow gaijin straight in the jaw, sending him rolling backwards. Nate looked thankful and patted Dozer in the chest before going after his rival, but when he tried to pull Americana up to his feet again, he was met with a strong uppercut and a snap suplex, causing him to grab his back in pain. The young Americana then took this chance to tag in Shark, who took up where his partner had failed, as he took the match to the mat.

Nate struggled initially, causing the veteran to take longer than usual to lock in a hold, but he locked it in nonetheless, and cinched in a tight grounded abdominal stretch, really bending Nate into positions he shouldn’t be able to reach. Dozer again came to his partner’s aid, storming the ring, forcing Shark to release Nate and get up to his feet, only to nearly be decapitated by a clothesline from the big man, with Americana suffering the same fate. However, when Nate thanked Dozer this time and told him to go back to the apron, the DEMON Army member clocked his partner across the jaw with one of the strongest punches we have seen in ages, sending Nate straight to the mat, then climbed out of the ring and walked to the back. Americana and Shark couldn’t believe it, and Shark began to wander around the barely conscious Nate, and when he was up on his feet he charged forward and nailed the Deep Sea Snap straight to the chin before tagging out to Americana. He looked down at his rival then went up to the top rope before hitting the Inferno Splash Mk III, getting the victory over his rival yet again.

Winners: Silver Shark & Americana by pinfall in 9:57 - B-

After a break we go backstage to see UK Dragon psyching up his partner Mabuchi for his match in just a few minutes.

“Come on man, you’ve faced better and more experience people than Umaga and won, granted he is very strong, but if you keep out of his way and take away his legs, he won’t be able to do anything.”

Mabuchi nods while hopping up and down on the spot. Just as he is about to leave for the ring, Mr Miwa enters the room, with Rhino Umaga, Samoan Machine and the Samoan Wildboyz behind him.

“Do you really think that he has any chance against my client? We are talking about the most dominant force seen in this company since its very formation, and the Universal Champion. Whereas this...boy, is nothing more than a spoilt little brat who got where he is because of his father, and has no skill to speak of, let alone any sort of strength to combat Rhino with a single slip of success.”

Mabuchi makes a move to attack Miwa, but Rhino nails him with strong left hook across the jaw. He drops down to one knee, while Miwa just laughs like usual.

“You see, that is what I mean. If you can barely survive a lone punch from the Wrecking Ball, how can you even hope to survive an entire match? I always feel bad about cutting down youth in their prime, as I have said before, but if you choose to stay in this match, then nobody can stop my client from completely destroying you with no remorse.”

Miwa laughs as he backs away out the door, followed by Rhino, Machine and the Wildboyz, all with big grins on their faces.

Dragon tries to comfort Furusawa, but the youngster storms away leaving a worried looking Dragon on his own.

B- for the psyche up.
B for the hype

Match 3: Rhino Umaga vs. Mabuchi Furusawa
Non-Title

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/RhinoUmaga.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg

Rhino still had that grin from earlier as he made his way down to the ring, while Mabuchi had a look of rage and complete disgust on his face, either with his mentor or the fact that Miwa had insulted him rather personally. Before the match even got underway, the youngster got right into the face of the champ, shouting insults at him, but they had little to no effect, as Rhino continued to smile before the referee parted the two. When the bell rang, Mabuchi was right on top of the champ, battering away at him with a vicious barrage of punches and elbows right to the face and back, but when he tried to do a running knee to the face, Rhino just dodged it and then floored the youngster with a short arm clothesline out of nowhere. Mabuchi was stunned by the shot, and had no chance of defending against what came next, as Rhino leapt into the air and hit a devastating jumping knee to the gut, causing the youngster to grab his stomach and groan in pain before rolling out of the ring. Miwa rushed over and shouted for Rhino to come out of the ring, but Mabuchi saw him and floored him with a punch, finally hitting him, and a smile crossed his face. But like before, this proved to be a mistake as Rhino leapt through the second rope with a diving double axe handle to the back of the head, knocking Mabuchi to the floor.

Rhino checked on Miwa for a few moments before continuing his attack, unleashing another volley of punches and elbows on the fallen Mabuchi, who was barely able to cover up. Eventually he was able to block a few shots and get up to his feet, only to be kicked in the gut and whipped towards the steel steps. However, just at the last second he was able to reverse the whip and threw the champ into the steps instead, with Rhino flying over them after connecting, before grabbing his legs in pain. Machine came to his aid, but the referee told him to back away, and with Machine distracted, Mabuchi was able to pull the champ up to his feet and whip him into the ring, following him in. He tried to keep the match on the mat, as Dragon had advised him to do earlier, but the champ was too strong for the youngster, as he was able to fight his way out of the hold and up to his feet. Mabuchi tried to bring him back down with a jumping arm wrench, but Rhino took the pain and then caught the youngster with an elbow smash right to the face, sending him staggering backwards. He then tried to follow up with a running clothesline, but Mabuchi is able to duck it and trip up the champ, locking him in a tight arm bar. Initially it looked like Rhino was going to escape the hold fairly easily, but Mabuchi shifted himself so he was sitting on the champs back, preventing him from moving much.

His determination came through however, with Rhino absolutely refusing to give in, fighting his way over to the ropes. Mr Miwa called over to the referee to try and get Mabuchi in trouble for attacking him earlier, but the referee was having none of it, banning the manager from ringside for attempted sabotage of the match. He threw a fit and tried to climb into the ring, but Mabuchi clobbered him again, knocking him flat on his behind outside the ring. However, when Mabuchi turned around to attack Rhino, the champ was waiting for him, throwing him into the air, showing his immense strength, and then bringing him down with a gutwrench suplex, before nailing a few knee drives to the head. Mabuchi was still in the fight though, as he slowly but surely got up to his feet. Rhino smiled a sadistic smile as he booted Mabuchi in the gut and whipped him into the ropes, and when he came back nailed a spinning spinebuster, making Mabuchi’s head bounce off of the mat. The champ then stalked Mabuchi, before running in and nailing a sick Rhino Charge once he was up on his feet. Mabuchi was out cold from the impact, and Rhino made the confident cover, placing one foot on the fallen youngster, getting the victory.

Winner: Rhino Umaga by pinfall in 12:49 – A

Rhino isn’t done yet, as he throws the referee out of the ring and begins to dare Mabuchi to get up. UK Dragon sprints down from backstage towards the ring, and as soon as he enters it he batters away at the champ with a furious barrage of punches, all of them connecting. The fans explode with cheers, but it is short lived as all of Rhino’s family, The Wildboyz and Samoan Machine, being led by Mr Miwa, storm the ring themselves and beat the tag team champions into the mat, leaving a bloody mess behind.

B+

Match 4: Greg Gauge vs. Samoan Machine.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/GregGauge.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SamoanMachine.jpg

Greg comes down to the ring, following a merchandising break where we continue to promote the breakdancing CF3000 figures, with a showing from the man...err, thing itself, who shows us how he learned to breakdance. However, back on subject, Greg looks understandably worried about having to face Machine, after seeing what happened to the tag team champions earlier. Machine has kept on his smile as well, but when the bell rings he is all business, with his expression changing to one of determination. The two men lock up right away, with neither being able to gain any sort of advantage early on, before Machine’s superior strength finally appears with him pushing the younger Greg down to the mat. He tries to continue to force Greg down, possibly with the intent to break his hands, but the youngster is able to kick Machine in the gut and then force him away. Once he is back on his feet they lock up again, with Greg gaining control this time with a strong elbow to the side of the big Samoan’s face. Machine staggered backwards, dazed, allowing Greg to run in and hit a leaping spinning forearm smash to the face before taking the match to the mat. However, he soon finds himself going hold for hold with the big man, who is equally as talented in submissions as him, and they end up with a stalemate as they stare each other down. Greg offers a handshake, but Machine takes advantage of the distraction to rush in and nail a forearm smash of his own before whipping Greg across the ring.

When he comes back, the Samoan sends him high overhead with a big back body drop, but before he can follow up on anything Greg rolls out of the ring. The big man follows him out, but gets caught with an uppercut as soon as his feet touch the floor, before being whipping into the barricade. There is a sickening sound of bone as steel as Machine hits it with amazing speed, cringing in pain before dropping to his knees. Greg then took some time to regain his breath, but this is a mistake as Machine, in an act of desperation, runs forward and spears the youngster back first into the ring apron, causing him to yell out in pain himself and drop to the floor. Both men are down for quite some time before both getting up at the same time. They rolled into the ring together, and while trying to get up to their feet they begin to exchange blows, with Machine gaining control with a few consecutive stiff forearms to the face before following up with a jumping knee to the jaw. Greg flopped backwards onto the mat, clasping his face before slowly getting up to his feet. Machine noticed this, and eager to continue his dominance kicked the youngster in the face before spinning him round and throwing him across the ring with a massive release German Suplex, with Machine’s strength allowing him to throw Greg nearly right across the ring.

The younger man lands right on top of his head, and he rolls around in pain for quite some time before trying to get up to his feet. Machine is right on top of him though, kicking him in the gut and whipping him across the ring. He hits the turnbuckles painfully, but when the Samoan tried to follow up, Greg moved out of the way, causing Machine to headbutt the turnbuckles, making him stagger out backwards due to being dazed. Greg sees this and spins the bigger man around and lets loose with several sharp knife edge chops to the chest, with Machine cringing and taking a step back with every one. Eventually he is able to force him back into the corner, and then unleashed a massive barrage of chops, but Machine just takes every single one, then turns the tables with several strong jabs to the face that send the younger man reeling. When he walks out of the corner, Greg tries to run in with a clothesline, but Machine is able to duck the shot and then lock in the Unbreakable Sleeper. Greg puts up a strong fight, constantly trying to get to the ropes, but the upper body strength of Machine keeps him where he is, and eventually makes him pass out, and to his credit Greg didn’t tap out. When the referee announces Machine’s victory, the Samoan lifts Greg into the air by his head then nails a lifting sleeper slam before letting a massive celebration yell.

Winner: Samoan Machine by submission in 14:47 – A

Mr Miwa then enters the ring, along with Rhino Umaga, and holds up his clients hands in pride, but only gets a shower of boos. He doesn’t care, and proceeds to raise them at every side of the ring. After a round, he looks down at Greg and laughs at him before getting close to him and yelling insults at him, once which the camera is able to pick up:

“You will never be a success pup, because there will always be people much greater than you, who can beat you any time of the day, so heed my advice and get out of here, before we destroy you like we have some many before.”

To add even further insult, he slaps the youngster hard across the face before leaving the ring, with Samoan Destruction Inc. in tow.

This was a surprisingly good match up, with all eight members getting some time to show their skills to the audience. When the bell rang, it was Kimuraman in against Ultra Spark, and the two set the ring alight by running around and hitting lightning fast moves. They followed the traditional cruiserweight back and forth, lots of flips and dives before Spark was able to hit a spinning headscissors that threw Kimura back towards his own corner. The superhero struck a pose before tagging out to Panda Mask, who sling-shotted himself over the top rope and nailed a missile dropkick that turned Spark inside out. They fought very back and forth, with Panda coming very close to getting his first pin in goodness knows how long after hitting a brainbuster out of nowhere, but Hypnotiq came in and kicked him in stomach, breaking it up. Panda continued to strive for success, but Spark was able to fight him off with a jab to the gut and an enziguri before rolling to his corner and tagging in Magnifico. The veteran smiled as he began to toy with the young Panda Mask, locking him in a variety of holds, only to release him and lock him in another. However, he got a little too overconfident, and when he tried to go for a suplex, Panda nailed a stiff knee to the gut and then lifted the veteran into a gutbuster before tagging in Snow Fox.

The veteran leapt over the top rope and began to exchange blows with his fellow gaijin before Magnifico was able to seize control with a side thrust kick before running to the ropes. He tried to go for a spinning head scissors, but he got a bit too overconfident, and due to Fox having learnt their moves he was able to counter it by throwing the veteran luchadore across the ring with a modified release spinning facebuster. Magnifico hit the mat hard, and struggled to get up to his feet, only to get kicked in the head and then whipped into the corner. Fox tagged in the Tic, and then proceeded to double team the Invasion leader with double punches then corner stomps, before pulling him up to his feet and going for a double suplex. Magnifico countered it mid-move however, dropping the two men with a double neckbreaker out of nowhere before running to his corner and tagging in Hypnotiq. The second generation star was very eager getting into the ring, and as soon as Fox tried to take him down, he began to throw the veteran around the ring with several arm drags before finally settling down with a tight arm bar, but it was not to be as the veteran was able to get his foot on the bottom rope, forcing Hypnotiq to release him. The youngster did so, but not before kicking the veteran in the back and then waiting for him to get up.

This continued for quite some time, with there being a spectacular moment where Kimuraman and Snow Fox tried to go for a double suplex on Magnifico, but Relampago and Hypnotiq ran in and helped out their leader, joining the suplex, but before they could lift Fox and Kimura into the air Panda Mask joined the fray, bringing it to a stale mate. The Tic began to climb up the top rope, but Ultra Spark entered the ring as well, and began to head towards the veteran. Suddenly however, Fox and the Ring Demons were able to get control of the suplex, and threw Magnifico, Hypnotiq and Relampago into the air with a massive suplex that drew very big cheers from the crowd, but suddenly The Tic leapt from the top rope, joining the suplex by pulling on the legs of centre man Magnifico, but then before he hit the ground he nailed an absolutely amazing spinning headscissors on Ultra Spark, sending him flying across the ring. A large part of the crowd got up on their feet and applauded that last sequence, before seeing Snow Fox, the legal, begin to stomp the ground. Magnifico, the other legal man, was barely aware of his surroundings, and when he got up he was blasted in the face with the Fox Hunter. Snow Fox collapsed on top of his fellow veteran, with everybody else being on the mat or outside due to pain or exhaustion, and go the great victory in a very fun match.

Winner: Little People & Snow Fox by pinfall in 12:09 – B-

After a while to recover, the Little People and Snow Fox proudly celebrate their victory, with the crowd cheering them quite loudly, louder than they used to.

C-

However just when they are at their weakest, the Circle of Blood, for reasons unknown, storm the ring and devastate the Little People, with Dean Daniels yelling at the Tic and then challenging him to a match in two days at the Pay Per View.

“I will prove to you that I am definitely better than you, always have been, always will be.”

Match 2: Akima Brave vs. UK Dragon.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AkimaBrave.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg

UK Dragon still looked to be feeling the effects of the attack two days earlier, but he still looked determined to have this match, most likely as it was a chance to get revenge on the group that hurt him. Brave looked very confident with himself, mainly because he knew his opponent was injured. However, the veteran proved that injuries had little effect on him, because as soon as the bell rang he charged forward and laid into the young Akima with punches, elbows and forearms, sending the samoan reeling backwards in pain. Dragon did not give any ground, and after forcing the youngster into the ropes he whipped him across the ring. When he came back, he tried to nail a dropkick, but Akima was able to stop just short of being hit, and then jumped on top of the tag champ when he hit the ground, intent on keeping him on the ground. Dragon refused to fall that easily though, continuing to fight on and he managed to get to the ropes just in time. When he tried to pull himself up to his feet however, Akima ran in and kicked him in the gut, where he was most injured, causing the veteran to drop back down to one knee in agony, clasping his stomach. Akima smiled at the damage he was causing, a trait he shared with the rest of his family, and continued to kick away at the veteran’s stomach with a look of pure sadistic pleasure.

The referee forced him to stop though, but Akima just took a few steps back before nailing a baseball slide, shoving Dragon out of the ring. He followed the champ out, but got clocked across the face with several strong left and right hooks before Dragon unleashed a vicious series of European uppercuts to the face, forcing Akima backwards towards the ring steps. Intent on dealing some heavy damage, the veteran charged forward and hit a big dropkick that sent Akima flying backwards into the steel steps, causing him to scream in pain and grab his back. Dragon just continued the attack with several stomps before rolling him back into the ring. Akima tried to roll away some more, but the veteran would have none of it, taking the match to the mat with a tight leg lock, and when Akima began to claw his way over to the ropes, he dragged him back into the middle of the ring and then locked in a bow and arrow lock. Akima was yelling out in pain, and was only able to escape the hold when Dragon became tired of it and let go. Akima was up to his feet almost right away, showing the famous Samoan resilience, and ran to the ropes. He tried to nail a running jumping headbutt, but Dragon stopped him straight in his tracks with a thrust kick to the jaw. Akima hit the mat like a lead weight, and was barely able to get up to his feet. Dragon saw him and ran to the ropes, before rebounding with a springboard moonsault DDT, planting the Samoan into the mat head first. Dragon took this chance to make the cover, and managed to get the victory, getting some sort of revenge against the Samoans.

Winners: UK Dragon by pinfall in 14:48 - B+

After a commercial we come back to see UK Dragon recovering backstage, with Mabuchi at his side. After wincing as some bandages are put on, he looks towards the camera.

“I hope you were watching Rhino and Miwa, because what I just did to your little cousin is what I will do to each and every one of you when I get my hands on you. SO watch your back, because a Dragon’s wrath is one of the worst you can ever hope to endure.”

He winces once more, with the doctor apologising.

“However, I have another beef at the moment. It is with the DEMON Army, even after several weeks of me offering them to face me and my friend here, Mabuchi, with the tag titles on the line, I have yet to receive a response. Are you guys really that cowardly that you won’t even face us in a ta-“

Before he can finish that sentence however, Dozer and Jackhammer run in from nowhere, throwing Dragon to the floor, and then laying the boots to him, while Guardian runs in and dropkicks Mabuchi into the wall. When the tag champions are left helpless, with Dragon clutching his ribs in pain due to both his match and the attack, and Mabuchi unconscious due to hitting his head against the wall, Death walks into the room, a massive cloak hiding his face from view. Guardian nods to him before he speaks:

“We accept your challenge you mortal cretins. We were doing you a favour by refusing to response to your plea of a challenge, but since you seem to want to receive a beating that even he himself would fear, and be subjected to the full wrath of his army, we accept your challenge. But I will not say who you will face, merely that it will be two of these three, so I wish you luck in preparing for such a quagmire of a match.”

He observes Dragon having to be held down by Dozer and Jackhammer, as despite his injuries he wants to attack Death.

“It would be best for you to stay down, lest you be forced to miss the event and therefore lose the belts by default. At least be prepared, or else his wrath will cause you to suffer so much you will wish you were dead.”

As he turns away, Dragon taunts him.

“You think I’m scared of a few fancy words? I’ve faced bigger men than you, I have defeated the Russian Giant, I have fought against legends and come out on top. Your little group of freaks and mutants will do nothing to stop me.”

A smile can just be seen etching it’s way across Death’s face.

“Is that so?”

He gestures to his ‘minions’ as he closes the door.

“Teach him what we do to those who refuse to listen to his ways and advice.”

He shuts the door as we hear Dozer and Jackhammer kicking away at Dragon, who yells out in pain. Security tries to break into the room due to having watched what was just happening, but Death floors them with his signature kicks, and the beatdown continues as we go to a break.

B for the challenge and response.

Match 3: Nathanial Ca$ino vs. The Great Hisato

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NathanielCaino.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheGreatHisato.jpg

Ca$ino is looking much less confident than usual, most likely because not only did he lose to his rival again but also get attacked and abandoned by his own partner. Hisato seemed to be the confident man this time, and when the bell rang, he toyed around with the hurt gaijin, sneaking in for a few quick shots before retreating away again. Nate tried to block a running elbow smash with drop toehold but Hisato showed his legendary agility when he somersaulted over his feet just before he would have been tripped over, and then nailed a backflip kick right on top of the of Nate, who staggered about a little bit before flopping onto the mat. Hisato began to get the crowd into the match by clapping, and when Nate was on his feet he charged forward with the intent on nailing a head scissors, but when he jumped forward Nate was able to catch him with a dropkick out of nowhere right to the gut that stopped him in his tracks. Nate then connected with two elbow drops right to the gut of the veteran before climbing up the turnbuckles.

However, he took too long getting up there, allowing Hisato time to get to his feet and then nail a beautiful leaping super hurracanrana from a standing position, sending Nate flying across the ring. He hit the mat hard and quickly got up to his feet, trying to keep fighting, but Hisato nail a spinning headscissors followed by a leaping leg drop. Nate struggled to get breath after that, due to it coming down right on top of his chest, and so he was defenceless when Hisato pulled him up to his feet and sent him overhead with a suplex. Hisato seemed ready to end the match as he ascended the turnbuckles, but Nate saw this coming and quickly got up to his feet, only to be sent back down when Hisato leapt off of the top rope after running across it, completing the Green Emerald Plunge, catching the gaijin right across the chest with the diving cross body. The veteran got back up to his feet fairly quickly, and began to circle the gaijin, signalling for the end. However, when Nate got up to his feet, and he tried to go for the Mystic Dragon Wave, Nate countered with a few stiff elbows to the face followed by a kick to the inside of the knee that brought the veteran down to his knees.

Nate then ran to the ropes and hit a running dropkick to the face before hitting a standing moonsault and going for the cover. Some of the fans actually thought he might get the massive upset at this point, but it was not going to be tonight, as Hisato kicked out just after the two count, and instantly regained control with several quick kicks to the chest of Nate that sent the young gaijin reeling before kicking him in the gut and hitting a swinging neckbreaker. This time, Nate took longer getting up to his feet, due to holding his neck, but as soon as he was up Hisato went for the Mystic Dragon Wave again, and due to being dazed he was unable to react in time. Hisato made the cover soon after hitting it, and got the victory.

Winner: The Great Hisato by pinfall in 9:49 – B

We come backstage to see Emerald Angel with a microphone, a frustrated look on his face.

“For the past few days I have been constantly asking myself about whether I should risk it, but after seeing what you just did to an already injured man and his partner, and to me a week back, I have no choice but to try and put a stop to you right now. It has made me realise that if I don’t face you and defeat you in that ring then you will keep hunting me to the end of this earth”

His head drops and he lets out a sigh.

“Even if that means that I suffer a beatdown of a lifetime when I win, I don’t care because I need to show you guys that you have failed your mission. You first formed to stop the Circle of Blood, but you have become even worse than them, and so somebody must put a stop to you. That mission, begins tonight when I face Jackhammer, and I will use him to send a personal message back to you, showing you I mean business, and I am not going to be scared out of our match.”

Angel was just as determined as before, a look that could kill etched on his face, but the same can be said of Jackhammer, who looks like he actually does want to kill Angel. When the bell rings, the big gaijin charged towards Angel aiming to take him out with a clothesline, but the smaller man is able to duck the shot and kick him in the knee. The gaijin doesn’t give up however, charging in again with the same intention, and Angel does the same response. However, Jack begins to catch on and when he goes for another clothesline and Angel tries to kick him in the knee, he responds amazingly fast to catch his leg and use it as leverage to pick the smaller man up and hurl him across the ring. The homegrown star hit the mat hard on his back, and he cringes for a while before beginning to get up to his feet. Jack notices and charges towards him, but is unable to counter a kip up hurracanrana from Angel that sends him tumbling over the top rope to the unforgiving floor below. The big man gets up to his feet slowly, having landed badly on his knee, but when he turns around to get back in the ring, Angel comes flying over the top with his trademark running shooting star press to the outside, landing right on the head of the gaijin, sending him to the ground.

Neither man moves for quite some time, but when they do, it is Angel who gets up first, but before he is able to get into the ring Jack reaches up and grabs him before heaving him into the barricade head first. Angel drops heavily to the floor clutching his head in pain as Jack gets up and begins to lay into him with kicks to the gut. Before he can do any heavy damage though, he realises that the referee has nearly counted them out, and so the big man quickly pulls Angel to his feet and rolls him into the ring before rolling in as well. Angel takes his time to get up to his feet, obviously not knowing where he really is, allowing Jack time to recover as well, but as soon as Angel is up to one knee Jack rushes in and tries to take him up and over with a delayed suplex. However, Jack gets too overconfident and begins to flex for the crowd, drawing a massive amount of boos, and allowing Angel time to recover, before flipping out of the move and nailing a visually amazing hurracanrana while in mid-air. This sends Jack tumbling across the ring, though he gets up to his feet fairly quickly. Angel quickly follows up despite this, aiming to go for a dropsault, but Jack shows his agility for a man his size when he is able to catch Angel’s legs as he goes for the dropkick and then flips him over into a vicious side slam. Angel bounced off the mat from the impact and rolls out of the ring in pain.

Jack takes a minute to fully recover before heading out to follow him. Angel has dropped down to one knee out of exhaustion and pain, but this was perhaps the worst thing he could do, as Jack is able to catch him with a strong double axe handle to the back of the head before hitting another that sent the smaller man straight to the floor. He didn’t stop there however, laying into him with a few more kicks before pulling him up to his feet. The big gaijin then leans the smaller Angel up against the ring post before backing up the ramp. After a quick moment to take a breath, he charges towards Angel aiming for a big boot, but just as he lifts his leg Angel moves out of the way, and Jack ends up booting the ring post, causing him to grab his leg and scream in agony. Angel gets back in the ring, but when he sees Jack still on the floor, he rolls out to get him. Jack, in desperation, grabbed something from under the ring, but has kept it hidden, and when Angel reaches for him, he breaks it over the youngster’s head, revealing it to be a kendo stick. The referee sees it and calls for the DQ, but Jack doesn’t seem to care, as he grabs another stick from under the ring and approaches Angel.

Winner: Emerald Angel by Disqualification in 12:32 – B+

Before Jackhammer can take the beating further though, Mabuchi Furusawa emerges from the back with reinforcements, namely The Great Hisato and Koji Kojima. These three men storm the ring and force the DEMON Army to retreat. As the Army heads up the ramp, The three check on Angel, who is able to stand but is not fully aware of what is going on.

B+

Match 5: Samoan Machine vs. Magnum KOBE.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SamoanMachine.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MagnumKobe.jpg

Kobe looks very happy to be here tonight, but it is more of a confident smile than a generic smile. Machine looks just like he did a few days ago, a grin of confidence as well, but this a smile of laughter, as if he doesn’t feel that Kobe is a true challenge. When the bell rings, the smaller man proves this wrong as he charges the bigger gaijin, laying into his lower body with several stiff kicks and punches to the gut. This sends Machine reeling initially, but eventually he is able to block some of the shots and then fire in some of his own. It does end up as a stalemate with both men landing shots but few taking any effect, and the first person to gain any sort of control after that is Machine after a few forearms to the jaw stun Kobe long enough for Machine to then nail a Russian Legsweep to gain some time. Kobe’s head bounced off the canvas, causing him to grab it in pain, but Machine doesn’t care, as he continues to attack the smaller man, locking him in a tight arm bar, wrenching it back from time to time in order to do as much damage as possible. Kobe knows the mat game as well however, and is able to fight his way to the ropes before the big gaijin breaks his arm. When the big man backs away as the referee makes him do, Kobe quickly leaps up to his feet and nails an enziguri out of nowhere before going for a victory roll arm breaker. Machine is able to stop it though, with Kobe being unable to shift the big man to the mat. The smaller man desperately tries to bring him down, but the Samoan refuses to go down, and in a show of strength, lifts Kobe into the air by his one arm and then drops him to the mat.

The impact forces Kobe to release Machine, who backs away favouring the arm, showing that some damage had in fact been done to it. Kobe notices this, and gets up to his feet before rushing towards the big man to try and take him down with a head scissors arm bar, but Machine floors him with a clothesline instead. However he used his bad arm, and he paces around the ring shaking it out in pain instead of following up, giving Kobe time to recover. When Machine does eventually try to follow up with a few stomps, Kobe is able to catch his leg and bring him down with a dragon screw leg whip, causing Machine to yelp in pain and grab his knee due to the angle it was twisted to. Kobe follows up on this by keeping hold of the leg and kicking away at the bad knee of the big gaijin, trying to make sure that the gaijin cannot use the limb at all. However, just as he is going to lock the big man in a leg lock, Machine grabs hold of the bottom rope and then kicks away at the smaller man with his free leg. One kick catches Kobe right in the gut, causing him to drop the big man’s leg and fall to the mat. Machine takes his time getting up to his feet, and when he sees Kobe sitting on the mat he runs towards him, but when he goes for a kick to the face, Kobe dodges under it, a fairly impressive feat, and then rolls backwards to catch the big man with a hurracanrana, but Machine’s power comes through again, as he stops Kobe’s momentum before picking him up and driving him down with vicious backbreaker that causes him to scream in pain.

Machine laughs at the damage he is causing, and he takes time to soak in the agony that Kobe is in, but when he reaches down to pick him up to his feet, the smaller man remembers his weak point and kicks at his weak knee, causing the big man to let out a little moan of pain and to drop down to his knees. He tries to grab Kobe as he is getting up but gets another kick to the knee for his troubles. The smaller man then runs to the ropes, and when he comes back Machine tries to get up to his feet but is unable to do anything before getting caught with a leaping leg lariat right across the face. This doesn’t quite send him down to the mat, but back down to his knees. Kobe realises that he needs to do something more, and charges forward before connecting with a deadly reverse shining wizard, called the Volcanic Meltdown, a feint shining wizard spun into a reverse heel kick to the back of his opponents head. This sends Machine straight down to the mat, and Kobe rolls his trunk of a body over to make the cover, getting the big morale boosting victory.

Winner: Magnum KOBE by pinfall in 17:38 – A

KOBE celebrates massively, going into the crowd to slap a few hands before then ascending the turnbuckles. However, his happiness stops when he notices Rhino Umaga at the top of the ramp, with Mr Miwa at his side.

The crowd falls silent as the two stare each other down just like before, but this time Kobe gives Rhino the finger before gesturing around his waist and continuing to celebrate, at which the crowd get louder than before. Rhino has to be calmed down by Miwa, who tells him to save it for their match in two days time. The final image before the pay per view is Magnum KOBE celebrating while Rhino skulks away insulted.

Card

WLW: One Time For Chicken

Samoan Wildboyz vs. Snow Fox & Panda Mask II

To kick off the show we have a good fast paced opener, as the Samoan Wildboyz take on the Little People reunion of Snow Fox and Panda Mask II. With the Wildboyz now seemingly under the tutelage of Mr Miwa, can anything stop them? Will Panda Mask get his first pinfall in this match?

Nathanial Ca$ino vs. Americana
Grudge Match.

The final match between these two young high fliers. They have had many meetings before, and this one will be the be all end all, with the winner getting bragging rights that they are better than the other. Will Ca$ino get the victory and suggest that the previous wins were all flukes? Or will Americana continue his recent run to success, before heading on to better things?

Dean Daniels vs. The Tic

The third meeting for these three, with it being set following Dean Daniels random assault of the Tic two days ago, and the Tic wanting revenge. Who will win this rubber match, will it be Dean, who hasn’t had much luck lately? Or will it be The Tic, who recently lead his stable to victory over the Mexican Invasion?

The Incredible KOYAMA(c) vs. Hidekazu
For the World Level Streetfighting Title

Koyama continues to defend his belt, but this time against the veteran Hidekazu, who recently failed to up end the Tap Out champion, Bussho Makiguchi. Will he be able to upset the rising star Koyama, or will it be another routine defence for the champion?

Silver Shark(c) vs. Bussho Makiguchi
For the World Level Show Stealer title.

We see the culmination of the recent feud between these two stars, with Bussho not showing any respect towards Shark and saying he doesn’t deserve this title. Will he prove himself right with a victory, or will Shark successfully defend again and force Bussho down off his self righteous pedestal?

Dragon & Furusawa(c) vs. DEMON Army (Guardian, Jackhammer or Dozer)
For the World Level Tag Team titles.

The tag team champions were trying to get an answer from the DEMON Army as to the open challenge, and after weeks of no answers, Dragon began to taunt them, only to get brutally attacked two shows in a row by the stable. Now in his injured state, will Dragon actually get to the event in one piece, let alone be 100% for the match? Will they have to forfeit the titles?

Awesome Thunder w/Mr Miwa vs. Greg Gauge

Gauge failed back in February, and has made it known that he wants another choice, with Awesome Thunder going into recluse, one can’t help but wonder why. Will Greg, especially after his match with Samoan Machine, be in good condition? And will he finally be able to unseat his idol Thunder?

Emerald Angel vs. Death/Hell Monkey

Following the turning of Emerald Angel back in February on Monkey, he disappeared for a while, and when he came back he got attacked by his former partner, disappearing again. This time, he returned with the re-created DEMON Army, and has left a trail of destruction in the company ever since. Will he accomplish the first part of his ‘mission’ with a victory over his former friend? Or will Angel do what he said he set out for and stop the crusade before it begins?

Haru Kurofuji vs. Koshiro Ino

These two set the ring alight back in February with their feud, with both men going all out. Since then, Kurofuji has been on a real roll while Ino took a back seat to events, until he had had enough of his rival and attacked him during a main event match. This seemingly re-ignited this feud, and these two titans are ready to clash once again, will a victory here for either man truly end this rivalry? Or have these two developed a true hatred of each other that will never go away?

Rhino Umaga© w/Mr Miwa vs. Magnum KOBE
For the World Level Universal title.

A repeat of the acclaimed match back in January, except this time Rhino is the Universal Champion, and has yet to lose a singles match since that day. Kobe on the other hand has been away from the public eye until recently, facing Seiji Jimbo in an exhibition match back in February, and now challenges his rival for a second chance at taking the Universal title home. Will he achieve his dream now that he knows his opponent fairly well? Or will it be another sad day for the young hopeful?

Samoan Wildboyz vs. Snow Fox & Panda Mask II

The Wildboyz seem to be getting a pretty strong push, now they under Miwa's tutelage. Despite getting a win agains their Mexican rivals on the last show, the Little People are still basically glorified jobbers.

Nathanial Ca$ino vs. Americana

I'm going for Americana to win match 3 and start moving up the card, he's just better than Ca$ino and deserves to at least start being in the mix for the show stealer belt.

Dean Daniels vs. The Tic

Daniels gets the victory, to stave off being kicked out of the CoB for a bit longer.

The Incredible KOYAMA(c) vs. Hidekazu – World Level Streetfighting

I just can't see any reason, or any benefit for Hidekazu to win this title.

Silver Shark© vs. Bussho Makiguchi – World Level Show Stealer

I think Bussho is ready to step up, and it could make for an interesting angle to have him holding two of the singles belts in WLW.

Dragon & Furusawa(c) vs. DEMON Army – World Level Tag Team

Dragon & Furusawa to retain via DQ.....however Dragon will be in such a bad way after the match, the champs may be forced to vacate the titles.

Awesome Thunder vs. Greg Gauge

Gauge will put in another 'plucky' showing but Thunder will find some sort of cheap way to win.

Emerald Angel vs. Death/Hell Monkey

When someone is a leader of a faction it means they are getting a push, and Angel seems sort of directionless to me, despite the fact that he's clearly feuding with the DEMON ARMY.

Haru Kurofuji vs. Koshiro Ino

Count-out win for Ino, it gets Ino a win back but he only gets the win because Kurofuji is being a chicken-**** heel.

Rhino Umaga(c) vs. Magnum KOBE – World Level Universal

Not time for KOBE just yet, as the Umaga's Samoan Pals get involved to help Rhino keep his dominant run as Universal champion ticking over.

Samoan Wildboyz vs. Snow Fox & Panda Mask II
Snow Fox in particular has been on a hot streak lately, with the Samoan Wildboyz playing largely second fiddle to the other Samoan tag team (and yes, it felt awesome to type that), so I see Fox & Panda taking the win here. As a side note, the Wild Kingdom seems a perfect name for this team.

Nathanial Ca$ino vs. Americana
This is just a guess, but I feel as though Ca$ino seems to be the more permanent member of the roster.

Dean Daniels vs. The Tic
Daniels seems to have more to lose going into this match, seeing as he is on thin ice with the CoB, so I see him taking the win here.

The Incredible KOYAMA(c) vs. Hidekazu – World Level Streetfighting
KOYAMA to retain.

Silver Shark© vs. Bussho Makiguchi – World Level Show Stealer
Ditto for Silver Shark, although this one has more of a chance for a title change than the other match.

Dragon & Furusawa(c) vs. DEMON Army – World Level Tag Team
I'm going with the challengers on this one, as I feel like Dragon may be moving towards more of a singles push soon.

Awesome Thunder vs. Greg Gauge
I'm going upset here, since Gauge needs to get a big win under his belt to really cement himself as a real threat to the main event. Plus, I love Thunder, but he's got to be getting up there at this point.

Emerald Angel vs. Death/Hell Monkey
Monkey wins here, and DEMON Army takes over WLW.

Haru Kurofuji vs. Koshiro Ino
Just because Tigerkinney went the other way. :D

Rhino Umaga(c) vs. Magnum KOBE – World Level Universal
Umaga to retain, but I smell a big feud starting following the match. I don't know who with, and I can't explain why, but I see somebody stepping up as a big challenge for Umaga.

I'll go with the same predictions as Tigerkinney :D Looking forward to the PPV!

How on earth that Little People & Snow Fox vs. Mexican Invasion match scored B- .. Nice!

Woo another fan :D, good to know you're liking it FINisher. I had to say I was surprised as well, and cheers again for the awesome Koshiro alt. Sorry for anybody that think's this post is a bit big, but I wanted to make it seem like the big show of the year, which I kinda didn't point out :o, and so made every match as good as possible. I would really appreciate any feedback on the write-up, so if you have any please write ot :).

Pre-Show
Eagle Kawasawa, Antonio Marquez & Cougar def. Naga-Mori & Ienari – C+
Bairei Yasujiro def. Mitsunari Fugunaga - B

To kick the show off to a nice start, Snow Fox emerges from the back, with Panda Mask II.

“Tonight you will witness, for the first time, the wildest tag team to ever set foot in this company. And no, it isn’t the Samoan Wildboyz, it is myself and Panda Mask, as we have answered the call of the wild, and the Wild Kingdom is ready to take this place over.”

The newly made team charges down to the ring to high paced music, before the Wildboyz do the same and attack the new team, causing the match to start.

C

Match 1: The Samoan Wildboyz vs. The Wild Kingdom.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AkimaBrave.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KidToma.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/FoxMask_alt.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/PandaMask.jpg

The Wildboyz continued to attack after the bell sounded, and only after Toma had taken Panda Mask to the outside with a running clothesline did it finally settle down, with Akima facing off with the veteran Snow Fox. The youngster had the veteran under his control from the very beginning, battering away at him with various punches and elbows, with one catching the veteran right in the temple, causing him to stagger backwards in a daze. The youngster tried to follow up with a running clothesline, but it was not to be as the veteran was able to dodge the shot and then nail the bigger man with a kick to the back of the head. Akima cringed in pain, and staggered forward slightly due to being dazed himself this time, but when Fox tried to take him over with a German Suplex, he held his ground before firing away at the veteran with a barrage of elbows to the face, before eventually forcing him to release him with a spinning back hand. This sent Fox straight to the mat, and he grabbed his face in pain before making his way up to his feet.

The young Samoan then tagged out to Toma, who leapt over the top rope and took the match right to the veteran, nailing a few punches before trapping his arms. Fox tried to get away by wrenching his arms out, but the youngster had them caught tight, and when Fox was distracted in trying to get away, Toma connected with four or five headbutts right to the face, and when he released the arms Fox fell, dazed, to the mat, grabbing his head in agony. Fox began to roll out of the ring, but Toma grabbed his legs before he could get out, and dragged him back into the middle of the ring. He then tried to pull him back to his own corner by his leg, but the veteran was able to stay where he was, and then nailed a spinning enziguri to the youngster before leaping across the ring and tagging out to Panda Mask. The young American tried to clean house, with a clothesline to both of the Wildboyz, but Akima showed little damage from it before flooring the youngster with an uppercut. He then drove his elbow right into the gut of Panda before signalling to Toma. They then both pulled the smaller man to his feet, and when he was up Akima ran to the ropes. When he came back, Akima nailed a running STO while Toma threw Panda to the mat with a Russian Legsweep. Toma then made the cover while Akima took care of Snow Fox, getting the victory.

Winner: The Samoan Wildboyz by pinfall in 7:45 – B-

We then see hype video replaying various parts of the recent Nate and Americana feud, including Nate’s betrayal by Dozer earlier this week.

C

We then change to a feed from backstage, where we see Nate laughing to himself.

“So that’s how it’s been has it?”

He tips his hat up so we can see his face, a smirk across his face.

“From what I remember, Americana cheated for every single one of those matches, I can’t remember completely, but I am sure that I kicked out just before the three count every single time, and the only time I didn’t was because my ass of a partner turned his back on me and left me for dead. But I have been doing some research, and I know why I haven’t been seen as the better man.”

His smirk turns to one of hatred.

“It’s because Americana goes around and brags that he is good enough to have been considered the third Elemental, yet news flash my friend, somebody was already named Elemental III, and he is far more successful than you. It’s all down to chance, and the luck of the draw, and luck has all but left you my friend. And tonight, it all comes down to the roll of a dice, and for you, it will be snake eyes.”

He holds up a pair of dice between his fingers, displaying snake eyes to the camera. Nate’s smirk returns before he strides off towards the ring with pride.

C

Match 2: Nathanial Ca$ino vs. Americana

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NathanielCaino.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AmericanElemental.jpg

Before they even get in the ring together, Nate and Americana are staring daggers at each other, with Nate looking more focused than ever, due to wanting to pull out the win at the Pay Per View in hopes of moving on. When the bell rings, the two men begin to circle each other, waiting to see who would make the first move, and both end up running in at the same time, colliding in the middle with a lock up, which Nate manages to seize control of fairly quickly, before trying to take his fellow gaijin up and over with a suplex. Americana is able to counter it fairly quickly however, attempting to turn it into a head scissors, but as soon as he releases, Nate easily rolls through it, having studied his rival intently over the past few weeks. They begin to circle each other again before Nate charges in and goes for a big boot, only to have Americana easily duck it and then kick him in the back of the knee. Nate groans in pain and grabs his knee before working through it and gesturing to lock up again. Americana nods and locks up again, but this time Nate suddenly locks him in a behind the back wrist wrench, with Nate being back to back with his rival. Americana’s face cringes tightly from the pain, but Nate is only getting started, as he then uses his rival’s arm to throw him over his shoulder with a judo style throw and then locks in a tight kneeling arm bar.

The young Americana struggles for quite some time trying to escape from the hold, but Nate has it locked in very well. Eventually though, Americana is able to crawl his way over to the ropes using his foot, and forces his fellow gaijin to release him and back away. However, when Americana is up to his feet against the ropes, Nate runs forward and nails a beautiful leaping leg lariat that catches the elemental hopeful right in the chin, sending him up and over to the floor below. Nate went over the top as well, but luckily managed to land feet down on the apron, and when he saw Americana trying to get up to his feet, he leapt off and connected with a Mongolian style chop right to the top of the head, with Americana crumpling underneath the force of the blow. Nate took some time to recover a little bit before pulling Americana back up to his feet and rolling him back into the ring, but when he tried to continue his attack, he was met with a few stiff kicks to the chest that sent him back and dazed him enough for Americana to nail a quick enziguri out of nowhere before running to the ropes. Nate rolled over and tried to get up to his feet, but only just managed to dodge being hit by a running kick to the face, but Americana quickly adapted and nailed a standing shooting star press out of nowhere.

He went for the cover, but Nate was able to kick out just in time, and began to get up to his feet. Americana realised that he still needed to pull out something big and ran to the ropes, but when he came back he was met with a massive boot the gut before being lifted up into position for the Hard Eight, a belly to back piledriver, but he managed to kick Nate in the back of the head, causing his fellow gaijin to drop him. Nate quickly turned around, intent on going for the same move, but was met with a large roundhouse kick to the face that knocked him out and sent him straight to the mat. Americana didn’t waste any time and went up to the top rope before nailing the Inferno Splash Mk III, getting the hard fought victory.

Winners: Americana by pinfall in 12:11 - B

After a break we come back to see The Tic backstage, as per the usual promo routine in this company.

“Up next I face a man who doesn’t seem to quite know where or what he is. I used to know him as my friend, Dean Daniels, who helped me prove that I am more than a tiny man who could never amount to anything. Yet, he made the decision that he was too good for me, despite him always losing, and turned his back on me, viciously attacking me for no reason at all when I wasn’t expecting it.”

He shakes his head before talking again.

“And still he believes he is better than me, and challenged me to this match. He still refuses to take into account that he has lost all but one of his matches since the break up, and will do so tonight. Because I intend to truly make him feel the wrath that I should have brought to him when we last met in that ring, and hopefully bring him to his senses.”

He lets out a long sigh before heading to the ring.

C+

As he turns a corner, Nariaki Hitomi runs round it and heads in the direction of the camera. He seems to make apologetic gestures back where the Tic came from, and the audience realises why when a woman appears and shouts.

“That’s the man honey, he tried to kiss me!”

Out of nowhere, a hulking bruiser of a man sprints round the corner and chases after Hitomi, who had kept running down the hall.

Match 3: Dean Daniels vs. The Tic.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/DeanDaniels.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheTic.jpg

Both men came into this match looking very intense, with The Tic looking more focused than usual due to wanting to follow through on the words he had for Dean just before the match. Dean however, had a slight smile on his face as well, obviously feeling confident that he will win. When the bell rang though, it was a different story altogether, as Dean soon found himself on the wrong end of a vicious assault from the smaller man, who launched himself at Dean and laid into him with several stiff kicks and punches, sending the bigger man reeling backwards. Dean tried to cover up when he got to the ropes, but the Tic caught him with a knee to the gut before whipping him across the ring. Dean was able to reverse it though, and sent the smaller man into the ropes instead, and when he came back he launched the Tic high into the air with a back body drop. Tic came crashing down like a sack of potatoes when he hit the mat, and he grabbed his back in pain before slowly trying to get up to his feet. However, Dean was right on top of him as soon as he did, nailing a sickening knee strike straight to the jaw.

The match then slowed right down as Dean decided to try and keep the match where he had the advantage, on the mat. Initially, he did have control, locking in a tight arm bar, but the Tic was able to fight through it and not give up, and when Dean was looking to change holds, the Tic kipped up to his feet then nailed a headscissors out of nowhere that sent Dean tumbling across the ring. Dean stayed down for a few seconds before trying to charge at the Tic, but as soon as he started running the Tic caught him with an enziguri before dropkicking him into the ropes. Dean slumped down, and the Tic nailed a second dropkick to the face, sending Dean through the middle rope to the floor below. He hit the concrete with a thud, landing right on his butt, causing him to cringe in pain. He took his time getting up to his feet, but it didn’t matter, because as soon as he was up the Tic came flying through the second rope with a plancha, sending Dean flying backwards, butt first as well, into the barricade.

The Tic was up almost right away and he began to fire away with a few boots to the gut before rolling Dean back into the ring. The two gaijin rivals duked it out while they were getting up to their feet, exchanging blows for what seemed like eternity before Dean was able to hit a barrage of elbows and get fully up to his feet. The Tic was dazed and he began to stagger around the ring, prompting Dean to run to the ropes, aiming to hit a running kick to the head, but the Tic was able to duck the shot at the last second and trip Dean up all in one fluid motion, sending Daniels face first into the mat. He grabbed his nose in pain before getting up to his feet, and the Tic was there yet again, letting loose with a few punches before running up to the top rope. Dean followed him up there however, and they began to jockey for position. Neither man was willing to budge until the Tic poked Dean in the eyes, then pushed him backwards with a foot to the groin, sending Dean flopping back to the canvas. The smaller man then signalled to the crowd, and they cheered as they knew what was coming next. Tic waited for Dean to get up to his feet, and when he was he went for the Tic Leap, but for the first time in what seems like forever, it was countered, as Dean was able to resist the impact, and in a split second flipped the Tic over and drove him into the mat with a sickeningly devastating piledriver. The Tic bounced off of the mat upon impact, going a few feet into the air, and Dean made the cover. Tic fans tried to cheer their favourite to kick out, but it was in vain, as their favourite was out cold from the impact.

Winner: Dean Daniels by pinfall 12:37 – A

After going to the announce table for a few moments, where the announcers talk about what we have in store for tonight, we cut back to the ring where the Incredible KOYAMA struts down to ringside with his title proudly wrapped around his waist.

When Hidekazu comes out, looking quite focused, Koyama tries to hold back but ends up laughing fairly loudly, obviously not feeling threatened by the competition.

Match 4: The Incredible KOYAMA(c) vs. Hidekazu.
For the World Level Streetfighting Title.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Hidekazu.jpg

The two men initially circle each other, but when the bell rings the champ charges straight at the veteran, only to get clocked in the face with a strong forearm smash that sends him staggering backwards. Hidekazu follows up almost right away, showing his veteran instincts, nailing a few more smashes that send Koyama reeling into the ring ropes. The veteran then tries to send the youngster across the ring, but Koyama holds his ground and reverse the irish whip, pulling Hidekazu into a vicious knee strike to the gut, before throwing him with ease over the top rope. Hidekazu hits the ground hard back first, but still gets up fairly quickly, knowing what the champ would try if he took his time. He tries to climb back into the ring, but the champ catches him with a running baseball slide to the face, stunning him. The youngster keeps on going and lands on the outside, and instantly begins to batter away at the veteran with a few stiff elbows and punches before whipping him into the nearby ring post, with Hidekazu colliding with the unforgiving steel head first and collapsing to the ground.

Koyama’s smile returns as he swaggers over to pull Hidekazu up to his feet, but he takes far too long in doing so, allowing the veteran to kick him in the gut, catching him off guard, and then ram his head into the ring post, returning the favour. The champ yells out in pain and grabs his face as he flops to the floor, but the veteran isn’t about to let him get away, and he begins to root underneath the ring for a weapon. He takes a little too long however, and the champ is able to roll back into the ring, albeit slowly and carefully due to his face. Eventually the veteran is able to pull a steel chair out from underneath the ring and rolls back in himself, and then waits for the champ to get up to his feet. When he is up, Koyama takes away his hands, revealing a heavily bloody nose, but this doesn’t stop Hidekazu, who runs towards the champ intent on hitting him with the chair, but Koyama is able to duck it at the last second and then catch the veteran with a thrust kick to the side of the head, knocking him to the mat and making him drop the chair.

The champ shakes the cobwebs away, wipes some of the blood away from his nose then rolls to the outside. He begins to root under the ring for weapons while the veteran begins to stir in the ring. Koyama finally finds his favourite weapon, the wooden staff, but also pulls out a kendo stick and rolls back into the ring. Hidekazu has no idea what is going on at this point, having had the sense kicked out of him with that thrust kick to the head, and easily falls prey to several stiff shots from the kendo stick, with it eventually splitting into hundreds of pieces. He remains on one knee though, which Koyama doesn’t look happy with at all, and the champ picks up the wooden staff before unleashing the Ong Bak Beatdown. The veteran crumples under this assault, and is easy pickings for Koyama, who pulls his limp body back up to his feet before nailing a sick Incredible Death Spike. He then rolls the veteran over and makes the cover, getting the fairly obvious victory.

Winner: The Incredible KOYAMA by pinfall in 11:06 – B

Koyama slowly rises to his feet, and begins to celebrate, though he still seems dazed from the amount of blood he has lost from his nose. This caused him not to notice a man enter the ring behind him, and when he turned around his was floored with a strong punch to the face.

The man turned out to be Lassana, the African Assassin, and the newer star measured up the champ for a few seconds, and Koyama did slowly get up to his feet, before running forward and nailing the Assassin’s Strike right to the temple, causing Koyama to flop back down to the mat, nearly lifeless. Lassana smiled as he looked down then looked to the crowd before raising his arms in celebration as he headed to the back.

Medics quickly rushed out to check on the champ, who was still bleeding, and not moving, and we went to a break as more men emerged from the back.

When we come back, we see Bussho Makiguchi walking backstage shaking his head, a smile on his face. When he notices the camera he lifts the title onto his shoulder before staring right at it.

“Tonight, I really begin my rise. Tonight, I will be one of few wrestlers this company has ever had to hold two titles at once. The only regret I have about this fact is that it will all be over so quickly, if I could have a wish is would be that the person who I defeated to get that honour was somebody who could actually give me a challenge, not somebody who has delusions of being some animal, especially not a grown man with such a delusion.”

He laughs to himself again before composing himself.

“But I thought, hey, maybe that’s a good thing. Because when I take that Show Stealer title, I will then be more ready to take the rest of the belts, as I will be fresher than everybody else. So I say to all you fans, who obviously came here tonight to see the fastest rising star in Japan today, don’t blink after I come to the ring, because chances are you will miss this match.”

Match 5: Silver Shark(c) vs. Bussho Makiguchi.
For the World Level Show Stealer Title.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/SilverShark.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg

Despite what the challenger said, this was anything but a blink and you miss it type of match. The recent feud between these two caused it to be their best match to date, with both men really unloading their hatred for once another. At the start, they circled each other, with Bussho taunting the champ before flipping the bird at him and charging forward, only to get caught with a chop to the chest that sent him reeling backwards again. The champ caught up with him, nailing a stiff kick to the gut that doubled over the challenger before trying to go for a DDT. Bussho resisted the move however, keeping his ground and then countering with a back body drop, sending the champ high over the top rope to the floor below. The crowd cringed when the veteran hit the hard cold floor, as did the champ himself. He stayed down for quite some time before trying to get up, but he didn’t move much before he grabbed his back, obviously in some pain. The young Bussho noticed and made his way out of the ring before locking up with the veteran and throwing him back first into the barricade, keen on picking apart his now hurt area.

The champ cringed again, and was helpless as Bussho picked him up and rolled him into the ring, before waiting for the wounded champion to get up to his feet. When he did so, Bussho charged in again, battering away with several elbow shots right to the face before whipping the veteran across the ring. When he returned, he tried to flip Shark into a backbreaker, but the champ was able to flip over in mid air and catch the youngster with a quick hurracanrana out of nowhere. Bussho tumbled across the ring, nearly going out, allowing Shark time to recover, but when he got up to his feet he was back on the defence as Bussho attacked again with a few kicks this time before going for a suplex. However, Shark was able to reverse this as well, as Bussho took far too long to pull off the move, instead taking his time to taunt the crowd and show how great he was. Shark waited a few seconds before slipping down behind the youngster and catching him with a leaping neckbreaker. Bussho landed badly and grasped his neck in pain, while Shark did the same with his back, having landed on it after pulling off the move.

Neither man was really moving for a while, but when somebody did, it was Bussho who was up first, but he held his neck as he did so, followed soon after by Shark. They locked up again, with Shark taking advantage of Bussho’s injury with a chop to the neck before throwing him to the mat with an arm drag. The match then slowed down as Shark began to pick apart the wounded area with a few tight necklocks, but when he tried to go for the Jaws of Life Bussho was able to wriggle free and then catch the veteran with a strong elbow to the face. This sent the champ staggering backwards, and Bussho tried to go for a clothesline, but Shark was able to duck under it and then tried to take Bussho down with an STO, but Bussho was able to flip out of it, then the youngster tried to nail a DDT, but Shark was able to stop himself with his hands and then flip out of the move himself before running to the ropes. When he came back Bussho tried to catch him with a discus clothesline, but Shark was able to duck it and then go for a tilt a whirl headscissors. Bussho was able to resist it however and then went for a powerbomb, only to have Shark backflip out of it and land on his feet. The two men stopped for a few moments and stared each other down, with the crowd loudly clapping and cheering for that recent exchange, as it really showed both men’s athleticism. However, Shark couldn’t stay standing for long, as he dropped down to one knee in pain, clutching his back again, as that exchange had done a fair amount of damage.

Bussho smiled and ran forward, but when he tried to go for the Pride Series, two elbows to alternate sides of the head, followed by five repeated shots, Shark was able to block the last few and kick him in the knee before running to the ropes. When he came back, Shark went for the Deep Sea Snap, but Bussho was able to duck it and ran to the ropes himself, aiming for the Blazing Elbow, as Shark had dropped down to one knee out of pain once again. However, this time when Bussho came back Shark was able to nail the Deep Sea Snap out of nowhere, catching the youngster right on the chin, then fell on top of him for the cover, getting the victory in a fantastic match that will almost surely not end their feud.

Winner: Silver Shark by pinfall in 14:07 – A

After a break we see Bussho Makiguchi backstage, kicking chairs, tables and anything he can find over in a fit of rage, obviously upset at losing that last match.

However, when he turns to a doorway to storm out, a silhouette of a familiar figure begins to appear, followed by a robotic laugh. The silhouette splits into four, with all of the shadows heading towards Bussho, who falls to the floor before scrambling away in terror.

We then see Death/Hell Monkey backstage talking to Dozer and Guardian.

“Tonight is the night that the DEMON Army takes the foothold on this desolate land called Earth. We will take the first step, taking the tag titles, which is your job tonight. Jackhammer is busy recruiting other members for this almighty coalition back where he was ushered into the world, and so that is why the job falls onto your shoulders.”

Dozer nods and grunts, while Guardian doesn’t do anything, almost as if he isn’t really there.

“The Vanquisher is looking upon us to fulfil his quest, and if we are to fail tonight, his vengeance will be total and I fear unstoppable, and not only will our enemies perish, but us along with them. So make sure you get the job done, as the lives of everything depend on it.”

Dozer smiles and rubs his hands in delight, seemingly ready to do some limb ripping, while Guardian nods incredibly slightly, almost unnoticeably.

“The task has been made as easy as possible for you, I even doubt that our foes will show their faces after the beating they received a few days ago. Dragon is lucky not to have joined our master in the darkest depths, and Mabuchi is nowhere near able to defend against his greatest onslaught.”

He points at Dozer when he says the final line, which causes the big man to again smile, but this time it’s more of a smirk of arrogance than a true smile.

Match 6: Dragon & Furusawa(c) vs. DEMON Army
For the World Level Tag Team Titles.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/UKDragon.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BulldozerBrandon_alt6.jpghttp://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg

When the tag champs came out to the ring, Dragon was wearing bandages across his ribs and was clearly emptier of energy than usual, while Furusawa looked very pumped up and eager to get this match done with, though he was sporting bruises across his face from the beatdown a few days ago. When the match began, it was Dozer in against Mabuchi, and the two young powerhouses went right for each other’s throat, exchanging a series of powerful blows, but neither man gave any ground at all. Dozer got very angry and stiffly kneed the native Mabuchi right in the gut before whipping him across the ring. When he came back he knocked him over with a shoulder block before running to the ropes. Mabuchi slowly got back up to his feet, and only just got out of the way of a clothesline, but Dozer didn’t stop, and while Mabuchi was recovering thinking he was safe, the big gaijin charged back at the youngster, nailing a double axe handle to the back of the head, sending the young champion straight down to the mat. The big man stomped away at the helpless body of the champion before pulling him back up to his feet and whipping him into his corner. He followed him in and caught him with a shoulder thrust to the stomach before tagging out to Guardian.

Guardian leapt over the top rope and laid into Mabuchi with several strong punches before running to the ropes, when he came back he tried to go for an avalanche, but the champ was able to catch him with a big boot right to the jaw in mid-air, turning the smaller man inside out. Dozer grunted in despair as Mabuchi kicked the smaller man in the gut as he tried to get up, before locking him in a tight arm bar. Guardian yelled out in pain, but Mabuchi seemed to fill with anger, as he released the move, but then locked in a twisting arm bar, occasionally turning the arm round further and further each time. The caused Guardian to completely scream in agony, and when Mabuchi finally released he wrenched his arm away and rolled to his corner, with Dozer tagging him over the head. Mabuchi was eager to engage with the gaijin again, but Dozer pointed to Dragon, who nodded back and to Mabuchi, who reluctantly tagged out.

Dragon slowly crept into the ring and locked up with Dozer, and almost instantly was on the defensive as the bigger gaijin caught him with a few knees to the gut before nailing sickening gut buster after throwing him high into the air. Dragon yelled out in pain and tried to get out of the ring, but Dozer dragged him back into the middle of the ring by his mask and locked him in a chinlock. Dragon flailed with all his limbs, trying to get to the ropes, but the pure strength of Dozer kept him down on the mat and in the same spot. Eventually he was able to edge his way over to the ropes, but when he got up he was met with another knee to the gut before Dozer threw him into the air with a release tiger suplex, causing the veteran gaijin to land on his gut when he hit the mat. The champ flipped over in pain, clutching his ribs, but Dozer had no intent on stopping, and picked him back up before whipping him into the corner. He followed up with several thrust to the gut, with Dragon screaming in pain each time and then flopping to the mat. Dozer was about to charge in and kick him in the gut when Mabuchi exploded out of nowhere with a leaping knee to the face, catching Dozer and sending the big gaijin down. Mabuchi got amazing elevation with that shot, and it drew Guardian in, who leapt onto the top rope and tried to go for a diving cross body, but the enraged Mabuchi caught him in mid air and nailed a spinning side slam.

Dozer was back up and caught Mabuchi with a double axe handle before locking him in a wrist wrench. The native youngster was able to reverse the hold however, but when he tried to lock in the same move on Dozer, his strength allowed him to completely resist it. Eventually the two began to exchange blows just like earlier in the match, but this time, Mabuchi came out on top and he tried to go for a gutwrench suplex turned into a piledriver, but Dozer was able to resist it and land a few punches to the gut of the tag champ, forcing him to back away. Dragon was back up at this point and ran in, nailing a spinning headscissors to the big man that sent Dozer across the ring. The big man was back up soon enough though, but when he tried to attack Dragon, he found himself being double teamed as the tag champs were able to boot him in the gut and then went for the Fire Driver Mk II, but Dozer was too heavy to lift, and the big gaijin was able to catch Dragon with a clothesline before nailing Mabuchi with a low blow. The referee caught this and disqualified him, with the crowd looking quite disappointed with not seeing a true end to this feud.

Winner: Dragon & Furusawa by disqualification in 14:33 – B+

The tag champs have little time to recover before Hell Monkey charges out from the back, and along with Dozer and Guardian, begin to beat the life out of the team.

Mabuchi is the only one to put up a fight, due to Dragon being so hurt, but he is quickly beaten by Dozer and Monkey’s combined attack, and is thrown out of the ring. Dragon then tries to fight back, and lands punches on all three attackers, but soon falls prey to the numbers game as DEMON Army lay into him with kicks, punches and stomps, a majority aimed at his ribs.

This goes on for quite some time, with Mabuchi being motionless outside the ring, and when he does come to, the Army has left, and Dragon is not moving at all himself in the middle of the ring. The youngster quickly enters the ring, and tries to wake up his mentor, but there is no response. The Army haven’t fully left the arena however, and are standing on the ramp looking pleased with themselves, and when Mabuchi notices them he yells at them to come and try again, to get back in the ring, because he will rip them apart. The Army just smile before heading to the back, and medics emerge soon after (they seem to be having a busy night tonight), to check on Dragon.

We then see a hype video for the next match, Greg Gauge vs. Awesome Thunder

Match 7: Awesome Thunder w/Mr Miwa vs. Greg Gauge

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AwesomeThunder.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/GregGauge.jpg

These two men stared each other down from the very beginning, never breaking eye contact as soon as they got into the ring. When the bell started, neither man moved for a while, as they waited for the other man to attack, but that silence was broken when Thunder charged forward with a clothesline attempt, but Greg easily ducked underneath it and then nailed a back elbow to the head of the veteran, sending him staggering forwards. The young gaijin tried to follow up with a quick German Suplex, but Thunder was able to break the initial hold and go behind Greg before locking in a hammerlock. The youngster was able to easily reverse this though, and turned it into a hammerlock hold of his own, only to have the wily veteran counter it as well, locking in a wrist wrench instead. Greg really began to show off his skills, as yet again he was able to escape the hold by somersaulting forward, then kicking the outstretched arm of Thunder before taking him over with an arm drag. The veteran shook his arm, but a smile etched it’s way across his face before they locked up again. Both men then unloaded on each other with alternating knees to the gut, with neither man giving any ground at all until Thunder headbutted the youngster, causing him to release the veteran and back away.

Thunder took a moment to heal his bad arm before charging in again, but when he tried to go for a clothesline Greg caught him with a shoulder blow to the gut before launching him over the top rope to the floor below. Thunder landed safely however, and was up on his feet shortly after. Greg did come out of the ring to try and take advantage of the dazed state of Thunder, but the veteran was able to duck a chop attempt and catch the youngster across the face with a leaping roundhouse kick that sent him straight to the floor. Neither man really moved for a little bit, with Thunder taking this time to recover, but this allowed Greg to be the first one up, and he noticed the veteran still favouring that arm, and kicked him in the back, sending him down to one knee and stunning him. Miwa rushed over to try and stop what was coming next, but Greg floored him with a punch then grabbed the arm of the veteran, placed it across the ring post, before pulling it back and slamming it into the unforgiving steel. Thunder screamed in pain and fell to the floor, cradling his arm, while the crowd cheered Greg on. The youngster raised his arm in pride before dragging the veteran back up to his feet and rolling him into the ring.

Thunder kept on rolling, trying to get away from Greg, but the youngster quickly grabbed him and kicked him in the back before locking him in an arm bar. The veteran yelled in pain yet again, but was able to slowly but surely edge his way over to the ropes, eventually being able to grab hold of them. He wanted some time to recover, but Greg would give him no such pleasure, as he dragged the veteran up to his feet and whipped him across the ring. When he came back, Greg tried to go for a spinebuster, but the veteran was able to counter it half way into a spike DDT, planting the young gaijin right on his head. Both men were down for a while, with Thunder being the first one up, but when he tried to pull Greg up to his feet, the youngster threw him down with an arm drag and then locked another arm bar in. Thunder was writing in pain, and it was only Miwa’s screaming at ringside that kept him in the match, eventually being able to get to the ropes once again. Greg released him and then spent some time to think up a new plan, as Thunder wasn’t giving up yet, despite all the damage done to his arm. However, he didn’t notice Thunder getting up to his feet, and fell victim to a stiff kick to the back that sent pain up the entire spine of Greg, who groaned in pain before being pulled to his feet.

Thunder nailed a few stiff knees to the gut to keep Greg dazed, then took him up and over with a gutwrench suplex before going to the top rope. The youngster saw this and got up to his feet, but Thunder easily changed his idea and leapt off the top with a diving missile dropkick, catching the gaijin right on the chin. Thunder landed on his bad arm however, and was unable to follow up immediately. When he got back up to his feet, Greg charged towards him and nailed a spear that sent the veteran flying backwards into the turnbuckles. The gaijin tried to follow up with an avalanche, but just as he was coming down, Thunder caught him with an uppercut before just getting out of the way. Greg was dazed and came down face first onto the top turnbuckle. He staggered out of the corner, right into the Ace Clutch from Thunder, and the youngster screamed in pain and flailed wildly. The crowd were on the edge of their seat, and a large amount were cheering Greg on, and he began to fill with energy upon hearing them, finally being able to fight his way over to the ropes. However, he had spent a long time in the hold, and only just managed to get up to his feet, as he was very dazed and in pain.

He leant against the corner to recover, and when he saw Thunder charging towards him he ran forward, but instead off hitting a clothesline like he was planning to, he was caught with a Gamengiri out of nowhere right to the side of the head, and he collapsed to the mat, seemingly out cold from the shot. Neither man moved for a while, but when they did they began a vicious exchange of blows, with Greg being able to gain the upper hand with a barrage of chops. But when he tried to whip Thunder into the corner it was reversed and Thunder quickly leapt onto the top rope after Greg hit the turnbuckles. The veteran pulled the gaijin up with him, and just when he seemed about to go for a Super Sunset Flip Bomb, the Thunder Cradle, Greg was able to battle his way out of it before hitting the Super Gauge Meter, a vertical suplex into a powerbomb. The ring shook with the impact, and Greg merely flopped forward to make the cover, having no energy left in him. The crowd, which had been cheering loudly for that move, counted along. When the referee’s hand hit a third time they exploded with cheers, nearly blowing the roof of.

Winner: Greg Gauge by pinfall in 16:47 – A

When he realised he had won, Greg burst into tears and celebrated wildly. The crowd chanted his name, and Greg was barely able to contain himself, feeling so happy as to have beaten such a legend, and he was soon outside the ring, slapping the hands of every nearby fan that he could before heading to the back.

After a break we see a quick hype video for the next match, highlighting the recent feud between Angel and Monkey.

Match 8: Emerald Angel vs. Death/Hell Monkey

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EmeraldAngel.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HellMonkey_alt.jpg

These two stared each other with a bitter hatred that could have burned a hole through anybody else. When the bell rang, they collided in the middle of the ring in a flurry of blows that resulted in an utter stalemate. They backed away again, and Angel was the first to move back in this time, but when he got close to his rival he was caught with a vicious kick right across the face that sent him down to his knees. He got up to his feet fairly quickly, but was unable to keep his balance, with the kick having dazed him, and he stumbled into another kick to the chest that sent him reeling backwards. Hell then quickly ran towards him and nailed a leaping kick to the chest, sending Angel flying into the ropes. The two rivals then looked at each other, before Hell unloaded with kick after kick to chest, turning it red raw, finishing it off with a jumping spin kick to the fact that sent the high flier tumbling over the top to the floor below. He landed right on his head, and it was quite some time before he got up to his feet, but just as he was beginning to find his balance again, Hell came flying over the top with a corkscrew cross body, catching his rival in the face and knocking him straight to the floor again.

Hell got up almost right away and rolled back into the ring, and Angel soon followed him, but only just, as he was still trying to find his feet. The two men circled each other again, and when Angel stumbled once more, Hell ran in and kicked him in the gut before nailing a snap DDT, really planting him into the mat. The leader of the DEMON Army then posed for the audience, who showered him with boos, but he just soaked them all in. However, this left him open to a sudden kick to the back that sent him forwards. Angel had gotten up by now and ran to the ropes, and when he came back he nailed a dropsault right to the chin that sent Death up and over the top rope himself. When he got back up to his feet Angel ran towards him and nailed that ever amazing Running Shooting Star Press to the outside, landing right on top of Hell and leaving both himself and his rival down for quite some time. When they did eventually get up to their feet, they exchanged blows once again, with it this time being Angel who got control after a few punches to the head stunned Hell enough for Angel to nail a snap suplex on the outside before rolling back into the ring. Hell was down for a little while, but when he was up he showed no ill effects of the suplex, and instantly set upon the surprised Angel once again. The smaller star tried to put up a fight but Hell fought through with several kicks that caught the smaller man in the chest before whipping him across the ring. When he came back, Hell spun around and nailed a beautiful 540 Kick right to the face, turning Angel inside out.

Angel had no idea from now on where he was, allowing Hell some time to recover before pulling him back up to his feet. Hell laughed in his rival’s face and slapped him across the face, but this seemed to bring back energy for Angel, who almost right away slapped back, and this caught Hell completely off guard and sent him staggering backwards. Angel then bounced off the ropes and nailed a multi-spin headscissors, with the crowd really getting behind the move after the fourth spin, that sent Hell tumbling right out of the ring. Hell landed on his feet and tried to get back into the ring, but Angel caught him with an Elemental Feint Kick straight across the jaw, sending him to the floor. Hell was down for quite some time, and Angel used this time to get both energy and to nurse his injuries. When his rival did eventually clamber back into the ring, Angel tried to keep on top of him with a trio of snap suplex, and while he did pull them off, Hell seemed totally unaffected. Then, when Angel tried to go for a corkscrew leaping neckbreaker, Hell was able to counter it with a kick to the face, knocking Angel to the mat. The Army leader then began to stalk his opponent, and when Angel was up to his feet, he caught him with a stiff kick to the gut followed by the Hesitation Kick to the back of the head. Angel dropped down to his knees, and Hell turned around before nailing the Hell Fire Kick, knocking Angel senseless. The gaijin looked around at the crowd, who were booing, then made the arrogant cover, placing his foot on Angel’s chest. However, just before the three count, Angel grabbed the leg and threw him down to the mat with a dragon screw leg whip.

The crowd cheered loudly and it looked like Angel might mount a comeback, but when he tried to for a Moonsault Press, Hell was able to reverse it into a Cutter out of nowhere, and then after waiting for his rival to get up to his feet he caught him with another kick across the head before nailing the Tumbling Monkey after ascending the top rope, and got the victory.

Winner: Death/Hell Monkey by pinfall in 18:34 – A

The bell has rung, but Death continues to attack, kicking away at the downed Hell Monkey, and the rest of the DEMON Army soon comes out of the back, joining in for the second time tonight on a beat down. Angel is defenceless, and is soon left in a pool of his own blood while the Army retreat up the ramp.

We then go backstage where Koshiro Ino is in his locker room, his hands covering his face, and he is shaking violently.

“Haru.....Kurofuji. This man has.....tried....and failed....to end my career...several times. Yet tonight....he faces....my true.....nature. He will wish.....he never brought this......being....forward. The last time...I revealed this side....was never...I was angry before.....but now....my rage has fully taken control.”

He lifts up his head to reveal red and white face paint, with his mouth barely being visible, then laughs maniacally.

“You...have no chance......prepare....for your fate......as I did....mine....long ago. The memories....of your.....actions....created me....and now....the created....shall destroy....the creator”

He laughs more, and the cameraman quickly exits the room.

Match 9: Haru Kurofuji vs. Koshiro Ino

Haru walks down to the ring with a concerned look on his face, the same face that pretty much everybody else has after seeing that promo. He still looks fairly confident however, obviously knowing he has defeated the monster before, and he can again. Ino came down to the ring grabbing at his hair and laughing like before. When the bell rings, Haru doesn’t look like he wants to wrestle this now maniacal man, but does so nonetheless, but Ino effortlessly shoves him away and dumps him on his head. Haru cringes and grabs his head as he slowly gets up to his feet. But before he is even able to do anything Ino has charged forward and knocks him onto his back again with a shoulder block. The Face Painted Warrior doesn’t stop there either, laying into the smaller man with several stiff kicks and punches before pulling him back to his feet, but when he tries to throw him across the ring with a choke toss, Haru is able to break the hold in mid air and catch the big man with a head scissors that sends him rolling across the ring. Ino pounds the mat out of rage before getting up to his feet and charging towards the smaller person. Haru is able to trip him up though with a leg sweep out of nowhere as he ducks a clothesline attempt, causing Ino to go face first into the mat.

Haru looks very happy at this point, as he feels that he has found the big man’s weakness, but when he tries to take the mat to where he is strongest, but Ino’s strength allows him to pretty much break out of every hold that he tries to apply. The veteran Haru gets very desperate and tries to lock him in the Kurofuji Crab early, but Ino is able to turn around while in the hold due to being in near perfect condition and kicks Haru away, sending him into the ropes. The veteran tries to stop himself, but he rebounds off the ropes into a massive Back Snapper, and his head bounces off of the mat upon impact, dazing him heavily. Ino takes a few moments to laugh, and while a massive smile etches it’s way across his face he pulls Haru up to his feet and whips him into the corner. His rival hits the turnbuckles hard, and he cringes upon doing so, but when Ino tries to follow up with a splash, the smaller man is able to roll out of the way just in time and then rolls the big man up with a school boy. It was in vain however, as the Face Painted Warrior is easily able to kick out, before the referee even reached one. Haru couldn’t believe it and high tailed it out of the ring before Ino caught him, but when he stops to catch his breath Ino reaches through the bottom rope and drags him back into the ring.

The big man laughs, and begins to flatten Haru’s hair, playfully pressing it down, but when Haru tries to wrench himself free from his grip Ino tightens it instead around his throat and lifts him high up before throwing him forward with a release chokebomb. Haru hits the mat hard, and tries to get up to his feet before anything else can happen, only just dodging a jumping elbow drop attempt. Ino doesn’t seem too hurt though, and he instead just laughs it off while hugging the arm he landed on. Haru looks quizzically at his rival before charging in with a dropkick, catching him right in the chest. Ino staggers slightly, but stays up on his feet, and it takes a second dropkick to get him down to one knee. Haru then runs to the ropes and tries to nail a leaping hurracanrana, only to be thrown down with a makeshift powerbomb when Ino counters. He lands head first and rolls around in pain, only to be quickly plucked back up onto his feet. Ino tries to press his hair down again, and this time Haru is able to catch him with a vicious uppercut straight to the jaw before running to the ropes. Ino shakes off the initial pain, but he doesn’t notice Haru coming back and falls prey to a massive enziguri that knocks him down to his knee. The veteran sees his chance and runs to the ropes again before rebounding with a running shooting star press, the first time he has done such a move, and connecting with the back of Ino, forcing him into the mat.

The veteran then sets about picking apart the big man’s legs while he is still dazed. While he has the chance, he drives his knees repeatedly into the back of the big man’s knees, intent on destroying the joint, and when he sees Ino wriggling in pain, he stands up and continually mashes the knee into the mat, picking it up and throwing it down. Ino rolls around in pain, a tear in one of his eyes, while Haru continues. He rolls the big man back over and locks him in a knee lock, further damaging the joint, and when Ino begins to fight out of it, he wrenches the knee back further before locking him in the Kurofuji Crab out of nowhere. Ino writhes and yells out in pain, and using his strength he is able to fight his way to the ropes, only just preventing his knee from being snapped. Haru can’t believe it, and tries to drag Ino back into the middle of the ring, but the big man resists and then gets up to his feet. The veteran Haru desperately tries to bring the face painted warrior back down, but Ino holds his ground before flooring the smaller man with a clothesline. He then begins to scout his opponent, and when he is up on his feet he kicks him in the gut before whipping him across the ring before running to the ropes himself. Both men then collide in the middle with Ino nailing a massive Kobra Bite to the throat of Haru, turning him inside out. Ino’s knee then gives way, and he cringes as he makes the cover, managing to get the victory and even up the feud.

Winner: Koshiro Ino by pinfall in 16:37 – A

We go backstage to see Magnum KOBE being interviewed, well having a microphone held to his mouth. He looks very focused and stares deeply into the camera as he begins to speak.

“Tonight is my chance to achieve my ultimate destiny. I have been chasing that Universal title ever since I came into this company. And now I am more ready than ever to take it. I have faced Rhino before, and I will admit that I lost that time, but I have done my homework, like my friend Greg Gauge, and I know my opponent inside and out.”

A smile crosses his face before he continues.

“Ever since that night in January, where I fell from the highest point of my career, I have been sitting in the dark, wondering what I am going to do to get that chance once again, to fight for the Universal title. I was wondering whether I should just give in there and then, as I didn’t want to suffer the humiliation once again. Then my conscience got to me, and told me that I didn’t spent my entire career to get to that point just to quit. That is why I challenged Seiji Jimbo back in February, to get back in the spotlight, and that is why I am here tonight.”

The crowd can be heard cheering, and he closes his eyes, taking it in, before continuing.

“And ever since that night, it seems that Rhino, and his little puppet master, Mr Miwa, have it in their minds that they run the show, attacking whoever they want, such as the tag champions and Angry Gilmore, but I will show them that no matter what they do, they can never get rid of me. They may have me banned from ever getting a world title shot again, but I will still be a thorn in their side, I will still be there and making their life a living hell, just like they did to this company since that night.”

His face is now completely focused.

“Rhino, you can hold me to this, you have yet to face anything like you me in that ring tonight. You have fought me before, but not in the state I am in now. I want to show you just how deadly a man can be, because I am a wolf in sheep’s clothing my friend, I become very dangerous when I am angry, and tonight you will witness that first hand.”

He laughs happily before striding off towards the ring.

Just before the match starts, we see some highlights of both Kobe/Umaga feuds since January.

Match 10: Rhino Umaga(c) vs. Magnum KOBE
For the World Level Universal Title

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/RhinoUmaga.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MagnumKobe.jpg

From the very beginning of this match you could feel the tension in the air, and the entire crowd were quiet while these two stars stared each down at the start. When the bell rang, they locked up in the middle of the ring, and after a short battle for supremacy, the champ was able to seize control and whip the smaller man across the ring to the ropes. When he came back he tried to go for a release flapjack, but Kobe was able to stop him mid move and snap off a beautiful head scissors. Rhino rolled around on the mat before getting up on his feet, and when Kobe tried to follow up with another headscissors, the champ suddenly burst forward with clothesline that nearly decapitated the youngster, giving Rhino control again. Kobe gasped for breath as he got up to his feet, but Rhino was right there and nailed a knee strike straight to the face that sent Kobe onto his butt, grasping his face in pain. The champ then ran to the ropes, and when he came back he tried to go for a running boot to the head, but Kobe was able to lie down just before it hit and then kipped up. Rhino tried to spin around with a back fist, but Kobe as able to matrix underneath that shot and catch the big man with another hurracanrana that sent him tumbling towards the ropes. Kobe tried to follow up with a hesitation dropkick, but Rhino was able to roll out of the way just in time and then kick Kobe in the gut when he tried to get up to his feet again.

Rhino continued to batter away at the smaller man with a barrage of double axe handles, punches and kicks to the gut whenever he moved. Yet, when he took a moment to pay attention to Miwa, Kobe was able to roll over and then nailed a kip up hurracanrana that sent the big man over the top rope. Miwa scurried over to help him up, but as per usual with Miwa, he only made matters worse, as Kobe came soaring over the top rope with a 360 senton, landing right on their heads. Miwa crumpled easily and was out for a long time, but Rhino was up almost right away, as was Kobe, and the two began to exchange blows once again. Kobe managed to somehow gain the upper hand, and dragged Rhino over to the ring post, but when he rammed the champs head into it, the big man just grinned and laughed before elbowing the smaller man in the gut, forcing him to release the champ. Kobe struggled to breathe as he backed away, allowing Rhino to catch him with a stiff punch to the face before rolling back into the ring. He taunted his challenger from the ring, and as soon as Kobe was back in, he laid into him once again, but this time he then pulled the smaller man up to his feet and whipped him across the ring. When he came back, he went for a spinebuster, but Kobe was able to back flip off his chest and then nail an enziguri. Rhino staggered forwards due to the power behind the shot, but he didn’t go down, managing to stay on his feet. Kobe quickly ran to the ropes and then tried to hit a leaping leg lariat but instead met a massive backbreaker as Rhino caught him in mid air and then brought him down across his massive trunk of a knee.

Kobe let out a yell of pain when he landed, but this just furthered Rhino’s ambition, as the champ pulled the smaller man back up to his feet and kicked him in the gut before nailing a gutwrench backbreaker. Kobe again screamed in pain, and clutched madly at his back due to the damage being done. Rhino backed away for a little bit, but when Kobe was getting up to his feet he charged forward and nailed a stiff kick to his back, causing Kobe to flop forward back onto the mat. Rhino then tried to keep the match on the mat, and even though he did seem to have control at the start, Kobe was able to must enough energy to fight out of a leg lock with several kicks to the face, eventually forcing Rhino to release him. However, when Kobe leant on the ropes while getting up, Rhino charged towards him and hit a chop block, bringing the smaller man down to one knee, before locking in a surfboard. To really add pressure he drove his knee into the back of the smaller Kobe, who cringed and groaned in pain. He was barely able to fight his way out of the hold due to the pressure being applied, but he eventually did fight his way back to his feet and then kicked the champ several times in the gut before doing the impossible, suplexing the big man. The ring shook with the impact when he hit the mat, but the most damaged of the three was Kobe himself, as he instantly grabbed his back in pain and writhed on the mat. Rhino was down for a while, due to having the wind knocked out of him, but was up and ready to go when he was up.

He saw Kobe writhing in pain and began to stalk him, but when he charged towards the smaller man, Kobe was able to nail an enziguri out of nowhere after dodging a Rhino Charge attempt, and Rhino kept going through the ropes, colliding with his manager. The big man had a look of confusion on his face when he saw what he did, and when he turned back to face the ring Kobe launched himself over the top with a big corkscrew moonsault. He landed right on top of the champ and took him down, with the crowd loudly cheering the move. Neither man got back in the ring for quite some time, and when they did move both of them were in at the same time, and they began to exchange blows once more. Both men were getting tired by this point, and so it took some time for anybody to gain advantage, and the first person to do so was the champ, when Rhino managed to take control after a big left hook sent Kobe reeling to the corner. Rhino sized up his rival before charging in and nailing a splash that nearly squashed poor Kobe, and when he staggered out of the corner Rhino whipped him across the ring again. Kobe summoned up his last big of energy however when he leapt onto the top rope and threw himself back across the ring, getting amazing height and hang time, only to be caught with the Rhino Charge out of nowhere, as only Rhino can do, and was knocked out on the spot, flipping in mid air before landing face down on the mat. Rhino limply placed his arm across his fallen foe, and got the very hard fought victory in a great match.

Winner: Rhino Umaga by pinfall in 21:46 – A

Mr Miwa eagerly bounds into the ring with the belt in hand and places it around the waist of his client before raising his hand.

However, before he can properly celebrate, the lights begin to crackle and a sign appears on the entrance screen.

“The Fear Of Anger Shall Return, And Nobody Will Be Safe.”

When the lights return to normal, Mr Miwa is confused as well as worried, and he quickly ushers his client out of the ring and up the entrance ramp.

Awesome show, and I marked out a bit seeing Gauge finally getting the big win over Thunder, and also for seeing my name suggestion being used for Panda and Fox. Can't wait for Gilmore vs. Umaga, as I imagine the strange announcement over the P.A. was about.

No news this week

Card

What an amazing event we just had with One Time For Chicken. We didn’t see any new champions being crowned, but we saw some of the best matches in recent memory, and we hope to continue that during the next few weeks.

To kick off this week’s first show we have Mabuchi Furusawa taking on young KC Glenn, who is looking to prove himself to the main roster. Mabuchi can be said to have gotten off lightly compared to his partner, UK Dragon, who was left motionless in the ring. What is Dragon’s condition, and will Mabuchi be on the lookout for revenge?

We then have both members of Half Machine, Half Amazing making their much anticipated return as Yuki takes on newcomer Jacob Jett in what looks set to be a very high speed match, and Eguchi takes on Emerald Angel. Angel came off a loss a few days ago to Death/Hell Monkey, and will most likely be looking to redeem himself with a victory.

In the main event of the first show we have Awesome Thunder taking on Eagle Kawasawa. Thunder fought a great match a few days ago at the pay per view, but he still came up on the losing end, and he has to be feeling bitter about that. Will Eagle be able to take advantage of this? Or will the veteran realise he can channel his anger, and take it out on Eagle?

On the second show, we have Nathaniel Ca$ino taking on Hijo Del Relampago. Both of these men have come out on the losing end of their respective rivalries, though Hijo had a lot of initial success compared to Nate. Which man will begin the path to rebuilding their place on the ladder?

After that, we have Guardian of the DEMON Army taking on the veteran Tasuku Shinozuka. Guardian came up short at the pay per view for the World Tag titles, and now must be looking to prove himself worthy of another title shot. Will there be any help from the DEMON Army, who have begun attacking when least expected?

In the semi-main event spot we have The Incredible KOYAMA taking on Takeshi Umehara. Koyama was attacked by Lassana and was heard to have had some choice words for the c0cky gaijin, Will Lassana pay heed to them, or will Koyama being so focused on Lassana cause him to muck up and give Umehara the upset of a lifetime?

To cap off that show we have old friends colliding as Koji Kojima takes on Circle of Blood member KOKI Ishibashi. This looks set to be a classic battle, but which man will prove themselves better for the moment, and will there be any involvement of the other CoB members?

WLW Squirrels Jubilee Tour Show #9

Singles
Mabuchi Furusawa vs. KC Glenn

Squash

Singles
Jacob Jett vs. Yuki Horigoshi

Half Machine/Half Amazing are entertaining but are basically jobbers and Jett's experienced enough not be just over here to be a Gaijin jobber unlike Glenn.

Singles
Eguchi The Amazing vs. Emerald Angel

EA could do with a win, as he's coming out on the losing end of his feud with the Demon Army

Singles
Awesome Thunder vs. Eagle Kawasawa

Kawasawa's not been booked strong enough to warrant a win over Thunder, despite Thunder's loss at One Time for Chicken. I hope the next PPV event also has a food related title :D

WLW Squirrels Jubilee Tour Show #10

Singles
Nathaniel Ca$ino vs. Hijo Del Relampago

Ca$ino may have come out of the losing end of his feud with Americana, but he's been more visible and it's helped established him on the WLW roster, so I can see him picking up the win.

Singles
Tasuku Shinozuka vs. Guardian

DEMON Army are being pushed strong, they seem to be taking over from COB as the top heel faction these days.

Singles
The Incredible KOYAMA vs. Takeshi Umehara

The only way Umehara might win, is if Lassana gets involved and even then I think you'd rather give KOYAMA a DQ win.

Singles
KOKI Ishibashi vs. Koji Kojima

Kojima's always been booked more strongly as a singles competitor, but I can see C.O.B getting involved and helping Ishibashi to the win.

WLW Squirrels Jubilee Tour Show #9

Singles
Mabuchi Furusawa vs. KC Glenn
Glenn is good, but I don't see him rising much further than midcard status. Furusawa gets the easy win.

Singles
Jacob Jett vs. Yuki Horigoshi
This is purely just a guess, but Horigoshi hasn't impressed much as of late, and Jett has the potential to be a really strong gaijin competitor.

Singles
Eguchi The Amazing vs. Emerald Angel
Man, I wish I could pick Eguchi with a straight face.

Singles
Awesome Thunder vs. Eagle Kawasawa
Losing to Gauge I can see. Losing to Kawasawa? That's a long shot.

WLW Squirrels Jubilee Tour Show #10

Singles
Nathaniel Ca$ino vs. Hijo Del Relampago
This one should be good, and I'm picking Ca$ino purely for experience reasons.

Singles
Tasuku Shinozuka vs. Guardian
To quote Tigerkinney - "Squash"

Singles
The Incredible KOYAMA vs. Takeshi Umehara
KOYAMA is just the all around better worker, and the more established of the two to boot.

Singles
KOKI Ishibashi vs. Koji Kojima
Purely chosen because otherwise Tigerkinney and I would have had the exact same predictions.

Tour Show #9

Held at the Kanagawa Sports Field
Thursday, Week 1, May 2011
Attendance = 4,794
Announcers = Isei Deushi & Koyo Raikatuji

To kick off the show, we go backstage to find Mabuchi Furusawa pacing back and forth outside of his locker room. He slows down and doesn’t look too happy when the cameraman approaches him.

“What? You expect me to be able to talk at a time like this? My best friend is currently in danger of never being able to wrestle again, and it’ll be a long time before he is out of hospital either, and you expect me to be able to do an interview? I’ll say one thing, Hell Monkey, you took it one step too far on Sunday night, you struck a personal nerve, and that is why I will stop at nothing to make you feel the same way UK Dragon does right now!”

His lip quivers with rage as he stares into the camera, and after a few seconds he begins striding down the corridor towards the ring.

B-

Just a few doors down he is blocked by KC Glenn, who although much smaller seems fairly confident standing up to Furusawa. He looks the big man up and down before speaking in his heavy Texas accent.

“Where I come from, if somebody gets that kinda beating, they deserved it, and so I wouldn’t care that much about your friend there ‘buchi. He had it comin’ to him, and you should move on, not go seekin’ revenge where it will get y’all killed. I fe-“

Before he is able to complete that final sentence he is floored with a massive punch across the jaw from Mabuchi, who continues on towards the ring while Glenn is barely awake.

C+

Match 1: Mabuchi Furusawa vs. KC Glenn.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MabuchiFurusawa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KCGlenn.jpg

Mabuchi stills looks as angry as before, with KC looking just as angry due to feeling that he was unjustly attacked, a complete contradiction to what he had just said. When the bell rings to start the match, Mabuchi runs straight at the smaller gaijin, knocking him flat on his butt with a shoulder block before pulling him back up his feet. He then stiffly kicks him in the gut before whipping him across the ring. When he comes back, he tries to throw the smaller man up and over with a back body drop, but KC is able to land on his feet, spring onto the top rope and then rebound with a beautiful springboard flip senton, colliding right with the chest of Mabuchi, knocking him down to the mat. For a little while afterwards the smaller man is in control, as he is able to run circles around Mabuchi, nipping in for a few kicks and sentons, but when he tries to go for another springboard cross body when the bigger man is up on his feet Mabuchi is able to catch him and quickly turn it into a powerbomb, driving the gaijin into the mat with authority.

Glenn grabs his neck and head in pain before slowly rolling around on the mat, allowing Mabuchi time to get some breath back before pulling the smaller man back up to his feet. Glenn desperately tries to regain control, as he leaps into the air and kicks the bigger man in the face, but it barely has any effect at all as Mabuchi soon recovers and continues to beat on KC. A smile crosses the big man’s face before he stretches Glenn’s arm out, then yanks it nearly out of the socket a few times before whipping him across the ring. When he comes back Mabuchi unleashes a massive punch right to the elbow of KC, causing the younger man to howl in pain and drop to his knees, clutching at his arm. Mabuchi shakes his head before running towards KC and nailing him with a kick to the back of the head before pulling him back up to his feet. Glenn tries to plead with Mabuchi, who just smiles before throwing the smaller man down to the mat with a victory roll armbreaker, but after a few seconds Mabuchi quickly transitions it into a Furusawa Arm Bar, causing KC to scream in agony before tapping out, his hand slapping the mat at amazing pace.

Winner: Mabuchi Furusawa by submission in 6:57 – B-

We then go backstage to see Jacob Jett sitting on a bench, and leaning back with his arms draped over the top of the bench.

“I am here in WLW to do one thing, and one thing only, to become the most successful man to ever enter this company, gaijin or not. I have watched what normally goes on in that ring, and I promise you fans, as useless as you are, that I will give you a show that you will never forget, way better than any of that c*** you have been stuck with for years. They don’t call me “Amazing” for nothing, and you will learn that tonight.”

A big smile etches across his face as we switch to commercial.

C+

After a quick break for merchandise, we return to see Mr Miwa in the ring with Rhino Umaga and Awesome Thunder.

“I am here tonight in front of you illiterate and unintelligent cretins to speak of a certain person that has threatened my client.”

He points towards Rhino Umaga, and the crowd, who were already booing, boo even louder.

“Why don’t you just shut up and realise the pure strength and skill of the men in front of you? Anyway, my client had just won his match against the arrogant fool Magnum KOBE in quite convincing fashion, when all of a sudden a phrase appeared on the screen, saying something about rage returning and that it would come after us..or something similar to that. To be honest it bored me the first time I set my eyes on it, so I forget what it says.”

He laughs, a motion shared with Thunder, while Umaga just stares around at the crowd, who are still booing.

“Why don’t you just come out here and challenge us in person Gilmore? Don’t think that I couldn’t figure out it was you, the signs were obvious, and you are really the only person who could possibly be stupid enough to face my client yet again, with him having destroyed so many times in the past. But, and I can understand if you are, if you are too scared to do so, then it’s alright. I’ll let it slide, but if somehow you really do want to face my client for his title at the next pay per view, Breakdancing Potatoes, then you have to come here in person and challenge us to our faces. I give you two weeks, or else you will never get that shot.”

B

Match 2: Jacob Jett vs. Yuki Horigoshi.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/JacobJett.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/YukiHorigoshi.jpg

Jett looked very confident heading into this match, while Yuki looked fairly focused, intent on getting back on track, having not had the best track record of late. When the bell rings, both of them charge straight into each other, with Yuki being able to get the early control with a knee to the gut followed by a clubbing blow to the back of the head that sent the gaijin Jett down to his knees. However, when Yuki ran to the ropes and came back, aiming to hit a clothesline, Jett leapt into the air and nailed a picture perfect dropsault right to the jaw of Yuki, sending him to the mat. Jacob continued the assault by leaping up onto the top rope and waiting for his opponent to get up, and when he did, he leapt off with a corkscrew clothesline, nearly flipping Yuki right over from the impact. However, he began to get a bit too overconfident for his own good, taking a little too long pulling Yuki up to his feet, and when he went for a punch the native Yuki was able to block it and then floor the gaijin with a right hook of his own.

Yuki then spent a large amount of time in control, throwing Jake around with strong suplexes out of nowhere, at one time snapping off a beautiful belly to belly suplex in a split second, with Jake then hitting the mat like a sack of potatoes and grabbing his back in pain. Yuki began to strut around, feeling like he was totally in control, and when he pulled the gaijin up to his feet he slapped him across the face, a gesture that caused some of the crowd to cheer, but after smiling at the audience, he turned back to meet a faceful of foot when Jake leapt up and nailed another dropsault. Yuki staggered backwards, and Jake was quick to follow up by running in and nailing a lovely spinning headscissors, yet Yuki was right up to his feet almost instantly and he rushed in to try and hit a chop block, but Jacob was able to sense it coming and back flipped over it before turning around and back flipping again, this time catching Yuki in the back of the head with a kick when Yuki was getting back up to his feet, a move called the Jett Take Off, a Backflip Kick. The native Yuki crumpled from the impact and fell to the mat, and Jacob went for the cover, getting the victory.

Winners: Jacob Jett by pinfall in 9:45 - B

As Jett celebrates we slowly go backstage to see Emerald Angel with a big smile across his face.

“Ah the talent of the youngsters today! Speaking of talent, I seem to have been put in a match with somebody who doesn’t have any, and considering how talented I am that is quite an insult. I want at least some sort of challenge, as though I can and will beat anybody, when it is fair, I do want to have a bit of fun. Facing Eguchi is not my idea of fun, and I just hope that management realises before they let all this lovely talent go to waste.”

He smirks and then swaggers down to the ring, with the crowd booing him.

B+

Match 3: Emerald Angel vs. Eguchi The Amazing

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EmeraldAngel.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EguchiTheAmazing.jpg

The fans started cheering when they saw Eguchi, having missed him since he’s been away. Angel on the other hand looked less than pleased to be facing him, and when the match started he ran straight at Eguchi, catching him in the face with a dropkick before pulling him back up to his feet. The bigger man then tried to fight his way out with a few forearms, but Angel was able to duck them and then catch him with a sharp knee right to the gut. Eguchi doubled over in pain before being whipped across the ring, and when he came back Angel threw him up and over with a big back body drop. Eguchi hit the mat and grabbed his back in pain before slowly making his way back up to his feet. When he noticed Angel running towards him he quickly began to build the infamous “invisible wall”, causing Angel to crash right into it and go flying backwards. Eguchi laughed to himself before walking around it and pulling Angel back up to his feet, only to get caught with another knee to the gut followed by two quick arm drags.

A smirk crossed Angel’s face before he approached his fallen prey, only to have Eguchi kip up to his feet and catch the smaller man in the jaw with a left hook before running to the ropes. When he came back Angel was able to duck the clothesline and then nail a lightning fast poison rana, spiking Angel right on the top of his head, and it was some time before he even moved, let alone got up to his feet. When he did, Angel booted him in the gut before whipping him in to the corner, and Eguchi tripped before hitting the turnbuckles, causing his head to get stuck between the lower and middle ones. Angel looked confused when he saw Eguchi desperately trying to get his head out of the corner, and he gingerly approached his opponent to pull him out, yet when he did Eguchi caught him with an elbow to the face before trying to hit an arm drag, only to have Angel turn it into a tilt a whirl arm drag of his own before catching him with a dropkick to the face and leaping up to the top. Eguchi was still down as Angel signalled to the crowd before nailing the Angel Fury, getting the victory in a fairly one side match up.

Winner: Emerald Angel by pinfall in 8:09 – B-

After quickly slipping backstage, we see the Circle of Blood surrounding lower member Dean Daniels, who seems to be cowering in the corner. We can tell from his voice that the first person to speak is Dark EAGLE, and he doesn’t seem that happy at all.

“You thought that beating such a foolish mortal as The Tic meant you were back in our good graces?”

Dean frantically nods, a whimper detectable in his voice.

“You are much more inferior than we ever thought, that man was not a target, you are still on thin ice, you have rarely ever won and have brought shame to the name of the Circle of Blood. You will have to prove yourself to us in order to stay within the confines of the master’s good side.”

Dean nods slower this time, and composes himself, he quickly sprints from the scene with Eagle turning to look at KOKI, who nods and follows after him.

We then see a quick hype video for the main event, with clips from Thunder’s recent match with Greg Gauge being shown.

Match 4: Awesome Thunder vs. Eagle Kawasawa.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/AwesomeThunder.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EagleKawasawa.jpg

Thunder looked over at his opponent at the beginning of his match with a large smirk across his face, clearly confident that this match was basically in the bag. However, this overconfidence was a mistake, because as soon as the bell rang Eagle ran straight at him and caught him off guard with a spinning heel kick right to the chest that sent the wily veteran down to the mat. Thunder was up soon after, but was still on the defensive as Eagle fired away with several forearms, punches and kicks, with each shot sending the veteran reeling into the ropes. When he got there he whipped Thunder across the ring, and leap frogged him on the way back, yet when he came back again Thunder was able to land on his feet after a monkey flip attempt, and when Eagle was up to his feet as well he clocked the youngster with a kick to the chest that sent him to the mat. From there the veteran took it straight to where he was most comfortable, keeping the match on the mat with a seated arm bar. Eagle was yelling in pain but was able to fight his way over to the ropes, causing Thunder to slap the mat and Mr Miwa to yell at the referee.

However, with the referee distracted, Eagle was able to catch Thunder with a vicious low blow that caused the veteran’s face to turn red as he collapsed to the mat in agony. Miwa went absolutely livid and tried to storm into the ring, but Eagle saw this and floored the manager with a quick dropkick to the face that then sent him tumbling out of the ring. The youngster then pulled Thunder back up to his feet and whipped him into the corner, but when he tried to follow up with clothesline, Thunder caught him with a thrust kick to the jaw before dropping down to one knee holding his groin, obviously still feeling the effects. Eagle slowly got back up to his feet, rubbing his chin, and tried again, this time nailing a basement dropkick that sent the veteran flying backwards into the corner and hitting his head on the turnbuckle. Eagle then went to the other side of the ring and began to measure up the veteran before signalling to the crowd, but when he tried to go for a hestiation dropkick, Thunder leapt up to his feet and ran forward before nailing a gamengiri right to the face, flipping Eagle right over and leaving both men down.

Neither man would move for quite a while, and it would be the veteran who was up first, and he pulled Eagle up with him before elbowing him in the gut. He then ran to the ropes, and when he came back he attempted a headcissors, but Eagle was able to catch him with an arm drag, only to have the veteran land on his feet and then nail an enziguri out of nowhere that sent Eagle down to one knee. Thunder took a few steps back before charging in and booting his opponent across the face, causing him to turn around and flop backwards onto the mat. The veteran was quick to follow up, as he kept the match on the mat, and he locked in a tight knee lock, cinching it in really tight. The youngster screamed in pain and clawed towards the ropes once again, but Thunder dragged him back into the middle of the ring every time he moved. Eventually Eagle fought his way back up to his feet, yet when he went for an enziguri attempt Thunder was able to duck under the shot before nailing a Tiger Suplex out of nowhere.

One...
Two...
No!

Eagle was able to kick out just in time, but didn’t get up right away, instead taking this time to recover. Thunder scouted him while he slowly got up to his knees, and as soon as he did he went for a running kick to the face, but Eagle ducked under it at the last second then rolled backwards into a make shift head scissors that sent Thunder rolling across the ring. The youngster then kipped up to his feet and charged across the ring to nail a big forearm smash to the veteran that sent Thunder reeling into the corner. Eagle then tried to follow up with a big dropkick in the corner, but his knee gave way half way there, due to the earlier knee lock, and Thunder quickly ran out to kick him in the gut before sending him up and over with a snap suplex before transitioning into a tight reverse sleeper. Eagle reached out with his arms to try and get to the ropes, but he began to fade fast, and the referee was soon checking on him by lifting his arm up.

First time...it drops down.

Second time...it drops again.

Third time, it stops just short of hitting the mat and Eagle begins to fight his way back up to a vertical base before Thunder quickly knees him in the back and kicks him in the bad knee, bringing him back down, and the veteran promptly locks in the Ace Clutch. Eagle is bent nearly in half and is applied to more pressure than he can bear. He fights on and on, trying to figure some sort of way to get out of it, but he soon taps out to the hold, fearing he might suffer worse damage if he doesn’t.

Winner: Awesome Thunder by submission in 15:38 – A

Main Show

The first image we see after the crowd is Nathanial Ca$ino in the middle of the ring holding a microphone.

“Tonight, all of you fans will get to see the Luckiest Man Alive be once again victorious, as I take on a very overzealous rookie from Mexico. As always, the match is down to the roll of the dice, and for me, it’s always a double six, but for Relampago, it is nothing but snake eyes!”

He laughs villainously before dropping the microphone and awaiting his opponent.

C+

Match 1: Nathanial Ca$ino vs. Hijo Del Relampago.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NathanielCaino.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Relampago.jpg

The young luchadore doesn’t seem to have taken kindly to those choice words that Nate had for him, and as soon as the bell rang he charged at his fellow gaijin, knocking him right over with a spinning forearm smash before going up to the top rope in one massive leap. As Nate tried to compose himself the young Mexican came flying off with a big leg lariat right to the jaw. Firmly in control, Relampago pulled Nate back up to his feet and whipped him across the ring, and when he came back the luchadore tried to nail a dropkick, but Nate stopped just short of him, and then kicked him firmly in the teeth when he was getting up. This sent the smaller man staggering backwards into the corner, and Nate followed up with big running corner dropkick, crushing Relampago against the turnbuckles. The younger man collapses to the bottom turnbuckle, looking very dazed, and Nate measures him before running in and hitting him with a stiff kick to chest, causing Relampago to lie down and roll out of the ring before dropping to the floor below.

Nate took a few minutes to taunt the crowd before running to the ropes and go flying over them with a twisting plancha, catching a recovering Relampago right across the chest, as the luchadore had gotten up. Nate soon gets up and begins to taunt the crowd again, focusing on a child who is wearing a Relampago mask. He goes to take it off when Relampago suddenly spins him around into an enziguri, and then whips him back into the ring. The two began a quick exchange of punches and kicks before Relampago nails a ‘rana out of nowhere then goes up top. He signals to the crowd, and then goes for the Relampago Blanco, the shooting star legdrop, but Nate rolled out of the way just in time. The young luchadore yells out in pain as he slowly gets up to his feet, only to be met with a boot the gut and a quick double axe handle to follow that up. Nate runs to the ropes and then tries to snap off a head scissors of his own, but Relampago throws him off and catches him with a dropkick to the chest that sends him staggering backwards. When he tries to follow it up however, Nate is able to counter with a running neckbreaker, with Relampago rolling over on impact and staggering to his feet, looking very dazed and clutching his head. Nate circles him before kicking him in the gut and then nailing the Hard Eight, an over the shoulder belly to back piledriver. He immediately hooks the leg and gets the victory in a decent back and forth match.

Winner: Nathanial Ca$ino by pinfall in 6:47 – C

Before we go to break, we go backstage to see the Circle of Blood in a meeting, with Dean looking very reclusive and curled up in a ball on the bench. Eagle is the first on to speak once again, but it is calmer and more caring than before.

“Dean, tonight your quest for redemption begins. If you happen to see most honourable KOKI in danger during his match tonight, it is your job to protect him and to win that match. I know Koki is well and truly capable of it himself, but the master is suspicious of Kojima’s actions, and does not want to take any actions.”

His tone becomes angry and threatening again.

“If you fail, you will be ever closer to regretting you were ever born.”

Dean flees the scene once again as we cut to commercial.

C+

When we come back we see Death/Hell Monkey backstage with the rest of the army, Dozer and Jackhammer are looking straight at the camera, either side of Hell Monkey, while Guardian cannot be seen.

“Tonight, the keeper of the scrolls will begin his quest towards claiming part of our most righteous quest. The man whom we seek is not worthy of any title, for he believes, and this is something he himself truly despises, that he is a sea creature. When we win, Guardian will become the first member to fulfil his part of the quest, and the drive to earn such a prestigious position will make sure he completes it.”

Guardian suddenly appears in camera view, emerging from the bottom half of the screen and staring into the camera while looking from side to side.

“Our poor victim is Tasuku Shinozuka, a man most people have forgotten about. He will almost definitely try to get the win, and in doing so has called forth his utmost vengeance for defying him and getting in his way. Tonight, we make the first mark on our list, the first of many.”

Hell begins to laugh quietly behind his hood while Jackhammer and Dozer both smirk at the camera. Guardian rubs the camera before climbing up a nearby locker and lying on top of it.

C

Match 2: Tasuku Shinozuka vs. Guardian.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TasukuShinozuka.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg

Tasuku did indeed come out looking focused, with his face seeming to be littered with rage, as he appears to have taken what Hell Monkey said quite personally. When the bell rings, Guardian rushes straight in and kicks the veteran in the gut before trying to take him over with an arm drag, but the bigger man is able to resist it and then pull Guardian into a clothesline. The veteran doesn’t release him arm though and goes to lock him in an arm bar, only to have Guardian flip out of the hold with apparent ease and then kick him in the gut before nailing him with a point blank dropkick that sends him straight to the mat. Guardian uses this time to get a bit of breath back, and when he see Tasuku up to his feet he quickly charges forward and catches him with leg lariat that sends him over the top and out of the ring, with Guardian landing on the apron with again apparent ease. Tasuku takes his time getting to his feet, shaking his head as if to get rid of the cobwebs, and when he looks up to get into the ring, Guardian nails him with a kick to the chest out of nowhere that sends him reeling before leaping off with a cross body.

The veteran is able to catch him however, and tries to turn it into a reverse DDT, but Guardian is able to reverse it himself into a hurracanrana out of nowhere, sending Tasuku tumbling across the floor into the apron. Guardian signalled to the crowd, and he began to run towards the veteran, intent on connecting with a running knee, but Tasuku is able to leap up to his feet with a sudden burst of energy and clothesline Guardian off his feet. Both men are down for quite some time, and both roll in at the same time, with neither man looking very full of energy any more. Guardian was the first full up, and he began to exchange blows with Tasuku, eventually forcing him back with seven consecutive forearms before whipping him across the ring. When he came back he nailed an enziguri, stunning the bigger man, before running to the ropes, and nailed the Bushido Knee, a leaping knee strike to the side of the face, flipping the veteran over before rushing over to make the pin. He got the victory in a surprisingly equal contest.

Winners: Guardian by pinfall in 13:12 - B

After seeing Guardian celebrate a little, we go backstage to see The Incredible KOYAMA.

“Nearly a week ago I was left for dead by a man who should have had no reason to do what he did. Lassana, you made this deeper than it needs to be when you attacked me when I was at my weakest. It seems you are in want of something, and I guess it’s my title, so I’ll give you that shot just to make you regret what you did to me at One Time For Chicken. You and me, one on one, for my title, at Breakdancing Potatoes. Not only will I walk in and out the champion, but I will make sure you never want to cross my path again.”

He stares intensely into the camera before walking off towards the ring.

B-

We quickly switch to a feed from a locker room, as we see Takeshi Umehara strutting around his room.

“Did I just hear him right, that he was going to make him regret ever crossing his path? He doesn’t even know the definition of pain that child, but I will extend a hand in kindness to show him what a true beating is, with the hope that maybe he comes even close to being as great as I.”

He pauses before posing for the camera.

“Take a look at this Koyama, and everybody else, this is a look of greatness, and if you realise that, then I will help you, but to those who refuse to realise it out of jealousy, you will be left in the dumps.”

He smirks as he struts c0ckily out of the room and down the hall.

C+

Match 3: The Incredible KOYAMA vs. Takeshi Umehara
Non-Title

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TakesiUmehara.jpg

The fans were fairly split down the middle when Koyama came down to the ring, not being sure whether to boo or cheer him, while Umehara came down to boo’s due to his previous promo. When the bell rings, Takeshi c0ckily struts around Koyama, a massive grin across his face, but when he tries to run in and lock up with the younger man, Koyama is able to catch him with a kick in the gut before driving a knee into his head, sending the veteran reeling backwards not quite sure of where he was. Koyama ran past him, leapt onto the top rope and then jumped off with a beautiful springboard DDT, including a lovely moonsault that he landed then nailed the DDT, due to Takeshi facing away from him. The veteran was spiked right into the mat, and he grabbed his head in pain before slowly getting up to his feet. When he was up, he tried to go for a few quick strikes to the youngster, but Koyama easily blocked them then kicked him in the gut before whipping him across the ring. When he came back, Koyama leapt into the air and connected with a high elevation leg lariat, bringing the veteran back down to the mat.

Koyama remained in control for quite some time, slowly picking the veteran apart, but he got a bit too overconfident himself while pulling Takeshi up to his feet, taking a few moments to soak in the love from the crowd, allowing the veteran to nail a swift uppercut, followed by a few punches. Takeshi then whipped the youngster across the ring, and Koyama tried to go for a handspring back elbow, but Takeshi was able to nail a stiff yakuza style kick to his back that caused Koyama to yell out in pain and drop down to his knees. Takeshi looked around and then ran to the ropes, and when he came back he tried to nail the Fabulous Limit, a spinning leg lariat to a sitting opponent, but Koyama was able to duck under it at the last second and get up to his feet. Takeshi tried to keep his control by going for a quick suplex, but Koyama resisted it and then turned it into a strong neckbreaker before waiting for him to get back up. When he did, Koyama kicked him in the gut and then nailed the Rising Driver, a double chickenwing piledriver. Takeshi was knocked out from the impact of the move, and Koyama was able to seize the victory in a fairly one sided affair.

Winner: The Incredible KOYAMA by pinfall in 8:12 – B

Following a quick break we return to see Koji Kojima standing backstage with Seiho Kuroda, who is holding the microphone.

“Ever since this match was announced a week ago, all I have heard is whether I would be able to beat Koki and whether I still “had it” due to not being that active anymore.”

He shakes his head with a smile on his face.

“The thing is, when you have the passion for the business that I have, to want to do your best each and every night for the fans, you never lose ‘it’, ‘it’ is always there. That is what makes the greats great, because they are able to keep that with them all of their careers.”

He looks up with a serious look, albeit with a slight smile.

“So, yes I will be able to Koki because I still have that factor that made me one of the most popular junior wrestlers of my time and still even today. It may have been a few years or longer since I fought Koki Ishibashi, I admit to that, but when you face somebody a certain amount of times you learn their tricks, you learn how to beat them. And I always faced Koki during the early years of this now glorious promotion, and as such I know everything he does.”

The smile gets bigger.

“He may try to cheat or lie to get better results, but I will continue to show him why that never works as long as he believes this. Tonight is another attempt at this, and I am warning you Koki. I know everything you could possibly do to me, i’ve watched you, I’ve fought you before, I know you blow for blow, so you’re not going to get an easy match like everyone expects, you’re going to get the fight of a lifetime.”

He nods and begins to head to the ring, before turning back.

“That’s the key to this business, to fight.”

Koji then continued walking down to the ring.

B+

Match 4: KOKI Ishibashi vs. Koji Kojima.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KojiKojima.jpg

Ishibashi came out to the ring with a look of pure focus on his face, while Koji came bounding down to the ring slapping the fans hands while looking very pleased to be out here. As soon as he was in the ring he locked eyes with his nemesis of old, before placing his hand for a handshake. Koki looked around as if to see what the fans thought, and after a few seconds he seemed to go to shake it, but out of nowhere he suddenly caught the owner with a back hand blow then followed up with a hammer lock. Koji was caught completely off guard and was unable to get out of the hold, until he fought his way to the ropes and flipped out of it before pushing his nemesis away. He shook his arm in pain and rested against the ropes, but Koki wasn’t going to just give him room, and he soon followed up with a clothesline that sent Koji up and over the top rope and tumbling to the floor below. Koki followed him out and began to really target his arm, and seemed poised to go for a leg drop after placing it on the apron, but Koji was able to yank it away at the last second, and Koki landed very badly on his butt, hitting the unforgiving apron and then tumbling down to the floor in agony.

Koji rolled back into the ring to recover before rolling back out to break the referee’s count. Koki was just getting up to his feet and he tried to catch his nemesis with a clothesline, but Koji was able to block the shot and then kick Koki in the backside, sending him back down to his knees with a yelp. Koji laughed and pulled Koki back up to his feet before rolling him back in. However, when he tried to pull his nemesis back up to his feet, he was met with a stiff resistance, with Koki nailing an uppercut out of nowhere followed by a spinning elbow shot to the face. This sent Koji reeling back into the ropes, and Koki went to whip his nemesis across the ring, but Koji was able to reverse it and sent his nemesis across the ring instead. Koji tried to go for a hurracanrana when he came back, but Koki was able to catch him in mid air and drive him down with a sit-out powerbomb, causing Koji to bounce off of the mat from the impact.

One...
Two...

Koji is able to kick out just after the two count, but Koki keeps the match on the mat by quickly locking in a tight arm bar. When Koji began to move again the veteran technician quickly shifted it to a grounded abdominal stretch, really wrenching back the upper body, causing Koji to scream in pain and desperately try to get out of it. When he couldn’t fight his way out of the hold he uses his free legs to force himself over to the ropes and then places his free foot on the bottom one, forcing Koki to let go. Instead of backing away however, he just drags him back into the middle of the ring, and locks him in a stretch muffler, from time to time lifting the smaller man up into the air before bending back down again, really putting a massive amount of pressure on the weakening knee of his nemesis. Koji yelled in pain and when Koki eventually released him and backed away he clutched at his knee and rolled around. He tried to get back up to his feet, and seeing that he could do so, he tried to run at Koki with a leg lariat, but when he tried to jump his knee gave way and he fell flat on his face.

Koki laughed at him before pulling him up to his feet and lifting him up for the shin breaker. Koji yelled and grabbed his knee again, before being locked into a single leg Boston crab. He yelled out in pain again and desperately tried to get to the ropes, and after hearing the crowd chanting for him, he filled with energy, lifted himself off of the mat and crawled his way over to the ropes, grabbing hold of them again. He pulled himself back up using them, and when he saw his nemesis charging towards him, he caught him with an enziguri out of nowhere with his good leg before springboarding off of the top rope with ease to nail a moonsault, although grimacing slightly, and connected.

One...
Two...

Koki threw him off and got up to his feet, but when he tried to pull Koji into the middle of the ring the smaller man threw him across the ring with a few arm drags followed by a dragon screw leg whip. Koki grabbed his own knee as he got up to his feet, and Koji tried to take him down with a chop block, but Koki was able to leap over it and then club the smaller man in the back of the head with a double axe handle. Koji stumbled back down to his knees and came to a stop, allowing Koki to grab one of his bad arms and try to go for a wrist wrench, but Koji quickly spun out of it and nailed him with a kick to the gut before nailing a dropsault. This sent the bigger man staggering backwards, but when Koji tried to go for a leg lariat, Koki was able to catch him in mid air, throw him onto his shoulders and then hit a massive sit out backbreaker rack. Koji yelped in pain and rolled around in agony.

One...
Two...
Thre..No!

Koji kicked out just in time, and Koki was beside himself, confronting the referee. He just threw the official to the mat, leaving him down for a while, and suddenly Dean Daniels emerged from the crowd with a chair. He climbed up onto the apron, and Koji used the ropes to pull himself up, and noticing Dean, ducked at the last second. Dean had tried to chuck the chair into the face of Koji, but it instead went flying into the face of Koki, who stood stock still for a few seconds before collapsing to the mat with a glazed look in his eyes. Koji nailed Dean in the face with a strong punch before waking up the referee, removing the chair and then nailed No Sound, a springboard corkscrew 450 splash, a move he rarely ever does due to it’s difficulty. He managed to get the victory, and when Dean saw what happened, he grabbed his hair in despair and quickly fled backstage, a look of pure horror on his face.

Winner: Koji Kojima by pinfall in 15:48 – B+

Kojima proudly celebrates his victory, while Koki begins to come back to his sense, and as soon as he realises what happened, he storms up the ramp, while Koji runs around ringside slapping the fans hands.

B+

Summary:
Nathaniel Ca$ino def. Hijo Del Relampago – C

Notes: One of our lowest overall results since I started, but I have no idea why, because most of the matches and angles were good, I guess they must have been borderline.

News

No news this week.

Card

Another action packed week is set for you fans as we get ever closer to Breakdancing Potatoes later on this month. On the first show, we see an opening bout of Kimuraman taking on the silent but violent Guardian. The so called “Keeper of the Scrolls”, is intent on challenging for the Show Stealer title, and will definitely be intent to win here, but will that alone be enough to get the match up?

We then have Bussho Makiguchi putting his title on the line against Eguchi The Amazing, with the Mime looking to finally get his hands on some gold. Bussho has no intention of losing his title though, but will Eguchi be able to get the win and upset the young rising star? Or will Bussho continue his run?

We then have Eagle Kawasawa looking to bounce back after losing to Awesome Thunder when he takes on Hidekazu. Will it be the veteran, taking advantage of Eagle’s desperate state, that get’s the win? Or will it be the drive of the youngster that prevails?

Then in the main event, two long time rivals collide once again as The Great Hisato takes on Haru Kurofuji. Haru has been on a major run as of late, and seems to have come out on top of his recent feud with Koshiro Ino, despite losing the final match, will we see a mere speed bump on that run or will Hisato silence the arrogant veteran and stake his own claim?

On the next card, we open to see ‘Chick Magnet’ Nariaki Hitomi taking on The Great Hisato, in what looks to be a fairly lop-sided encounter. Will Hitomi be able to use his power to get the upset on the veteran superstar? Or will Hisato prove a big resistance and stop the self proclaimed ladies man in his tracks?

Guardian continues his quest to get a title match as he faces another member of the Little People, Panda Mask II. Will he get another victory? Or will the plucky youngster in Panda Mask go against all the odds?

In the semi-main event we have The Incredible KOYAMA putting his belt on the line against Tasuku Shinozuka. As of late, the champ seems to have been troubled by recently found rival Lassana. Will this affect his game plan heading into this match? And will Lassana make an appearance?

Then to cap off the show, as well as the week, we have Eagle Kawasawa aiming to get even higher once again as he takes on KOKI Ishibashi. Koki lost his last match due to botched interference, and was visibly livid when he found out what happened. Will Dean again get involved? Or will the veteran be able to handle it on his own and throw Eagle back down the ladder?

No doubt about this one Guardian will be getting his shot at the Showstealer Title.

Eguchi's entertaining, but he's a comedy wrestler who shouldn't be anywhere near holding a title.

Hidekazu's not much more than glorified enhancement talent and Kawasawa needs the momentum boosting victory heading into his match with KOKI on the next show.

Hisato to get a win back in this match, he's too good to lose both matches, especially to someone the calibre of Hitomi.

I have to ask you: How long does it take you to write a show? For a non-english speaker like me it seems to take ages to write shows :p

Thanks, i enjoyed writing it so good to know it was liked :D.

And as for how long, generally takes about an hour of completely focused writing, but due to me being so easily distracted, it can take two and a half if my mind wanders :p. You write very good shows yourself for somebody who doesn't speak english :).

Thursday, Week 2, May 2011
Attendance = 2,000 (Sell-Out!)
Announcers = Isei Deushi & Koyo Raikatuji

Main Show

After seeing the crowd in the arena we go backstage to see Nariaki Hitomi strolling down the corridor. He looks focused but the second a pretty woman walks past his view his eyes, and then the rest of his body, follow her.

He follows her for quite some time before she notices him.

“Um...what are you doing?”

A smile crosses Nariaki’s face before he speaks.

“I wanted to say yes to your question.”

“Uh...what question?”

“You asking me out, and I’m flattered”

“I did-“

“Shhh, tonight, 7pm?”

“No, I don’t want to go out with you.”

Nariaki looks absolutely stunned at this, and when he tries to go in for a kiss the girl slaps him hard across the face, sending him stumbling into the wall. He then throws a strop before walking back down the corridor with his tail between his legs.

Match 1: Kimuraman vs. Guardian.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BeetleKimura.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg

The match started out fairly basically, with Guardian looking very focused and confident. When the bell sounded, these two men circled each other before Guardian charged forward and collided with the smaller man, locking up in the middle of the ring. Neither gave way until Guardian was able to land a quick knee to the gut and then lock the smaller person in a tight arm bar. Kimura cringed in pain before flipped out of it, but when he tried to go for a clothesline Guardian was able to duck under it and then lock in another standing arm bar. Kimura tries to get out of the hold in the same way, but when he flips forward he gets caught with a stiff kick right to the chest that sends him to the mat. Guardian then follows up with a knee to the elbow before locking in another arm bar, causing Kimura to yelp in pain before trying to reach for the ropes. Guardian tries his best to keep him in the middle of the ring, but Kimura is able to drag himself over to the ropes using his feet, and forces Guardian to release him.

The Silent Killer slowly backs away, but when he sees Kimura getting back up he runs forward and nails a stiff kick right to the spine before pulling him fully up and whipping him across the ring. When he comes back he leaps into the air and catches Kimura with a big dropkick that sends him back to the mat. Guardian quickly takes the match back to the mat with another arm bar, but Kimura is able to fight through the pain, roll backwards and then nail Guardian with a few knees to the face, sending him reeling backwards. Kimura gets back up to his feet and then runs forward, but when he tries to nail a head scissors, Guardian throws him off and then catches him with an enziguri to the side of the head, flipping him over. For the rest of the match Guardian controls the match with various different holds, focusing mainly on the arm, but Kimura is finally able to rest it away towards the end. Guardian tries to finish it up with a brainbuster, but Kimura is able to land on his feet and unload with a series of kicks to the chest before running to the ropes. He then leaps onto the top rope before springboarding off with a spinning cross body style dive, colliding with the head of Guardian and flipping him over.

He then sees his opening and tries to go for the Ocean Crush, a 540 DDT, but when he runs to the ropes and rebounds off of them Guardian suddenly springs full of life and nails a massive Bushido Knee right to the face, flipping Kimura over in mid air. He quickly follows up with a cover, getting the slightly hard fought victory.

Winner: Guardian by pinfall in 8:25 – C+

Guardian does not wildly celebrate, instead merely rising to his feet and letting the referee raise his hand before turning to the ramp. Hell Monkey emerges from the back with a microphone, and begins to speak.

“Well done, you have made he himself very pleased, and have done the Vanquisher of Souls proud.”

Guardian nods while the referee wanders what the heck that last statement actually meant.

“We see to not have had a single reply from the champion, which disappoint the all powerful. Those who deny us our right will suffer his worst wrath. It would be in your best interest to accept that challenge Shark, or else you may find yourself engulfed in the supernatural flames of the DEMON Army, this is your final warning.”

C+ for both celebration and re-challenge.

Match 2: Bussho Makiguchi(c) vs. Eguchi The Amazing.
For the World Level Tap Out title.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BusshoMakiguchi.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EguchiTheAmazing.jpg

This match just wasn’t good and was not what we expected at all, as these two didn’t seem to mesh in the ring. When the bell rang, Eguchi moved in and tried to shake the hand of the young champion, and Bussho seemed to be going for it initially but then suddenly slapped Eguchi across the face, spinning him around, then kicked him in the back of the knee before locking him in a reverse sleeper. Eguchi slowly began to fade, but when he got down to both knees Bussho released him then nailed an enzu elbow right to the back of the head, causing him to fall forward onto the mat. He took a little time to recover before pulling the bigger man back up to his feet, only to be met with a stiff uppercut. This sent the champ reeling backwards, but when Eguchi tried to follow up with a running forearm smash, Bussho was able to leap higher than him and catch him with a sharp elbow to the face that sent Eguchi straight down to the mat. He took a few seconds to rest before locking Eguchi in a tight hammerlock, and when the bigger man seemed to be escaping the hold, the champ kneed him in the back then transitioned it into a tight arm bar.

Eguchi continued to fight, but Bussho was able to keep him in the middle of the ring for quite some time. Eventually he was able to fight his way over to the rope and grab a hold of it, causing Bussho to back away and give him time to get up, but as soon as he was Bussho ran forward and delivered a knee strike to the gut before whipping him across the ring. When he came up the champ ran forward and caught him with a big clothesline, sending him to the mat, and then locked him in a grounded abdominal stretch. Eguchi fought through this as well, and was able to get to the ropes, much to the frustration of Bussho, who got up to his feet and stomped away at the fallen Eguchi. He let the bigger man get up, but when he tried to go for a running elbow to the face, Eguchi quickly built the invisible wall that he was legendary for, and Bussho hit it and fell flat on his face. Eguchi laughed to himself, but Bussho was up almost immediately and kicked his way through the wall before unloading with a series of stiff elbows to the face that sent Eguchi reeling. Bussho kept control of the match from then on, and towards the end he booted him in the gut before hitting a snap swinging neckbreaker, then pulled Eguchi back up to his feet before whipping him across the ring. When he came back, he charged forward and nailed the Blazing Elbow out of nowhere, catching Eguchi right in the temple and flipping him over, then promptly locked him in the Pride Stretch, causing Eguchi to tap out right away, although he was barely conscious after that Blazing Elbow.

Winners: Bussho Makiguchi by submission in 9:31 - C-

After celebrating, Bussho heads backstage, and the camera follows him as he walks down the corridor.

A big smile is on his face, then suddenly he notices something on the wall, screams in horror then runs the opposite way. The camera pans around the corridor to reveal the thing he saw to be the silhouette of Cyber Fighter 3000 on the wall, and we hear some robotic laughing before cutting to another section of the backstage area.

C

We see Nariaki Hitomi still in a strop from earlier when he see The Tic walking by. An idea seems to appear as a smirk etches its way across his face as he approaches the smaller man.

“Hey, how are you?”

The Tic is confused, and has one eyebrow raised at the question before answering.

“Im...alright, why do you want to know?”

“Because I heard there is a hot girl down the corridor who has been feeling lonely. And I heard she liked you, maybe you should ask her out?”

The Tic smiles and nods his head.

“Cheers mate, I might just do that.”

He walks off in the direction of the woman, being given directions by Hitomi, who still has the smirk on his face. The Tic sees her and walks up to her, engaging her in conversation. The only voice we can understand though is Hitomi’s, who is smiling widely and motioning for the cameraman to be quiet, then says:

“He has no idea what he’s gonna get.”

However, his smirk disappears and is replaced by a look of total astonishment and surprise before the camera pans to reveal the woman taking The Tic’s arm and walking away with him. Hitomi can’t believe it and begins whining as the camera backs away.

Match 3: Eagle Kawasawa vs. Hidekazu

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EagleKawasawa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/Hidekazu.jpg

Eagle doesn’t look the pleased to be facing Hidekazu at all, and when the bell rings he lazily circles the veteran before running in. However, he is too nonchalant when doing it and finds himself in a tight wrist wrench. The veteran Hidekazu pulls the wrist back further from time to time, and Eagle is eventually able to escape and throw the veteran to the mat with a quick arm drag. When he gets up to his feet the youngster nails another arm drag before pulling him up to his feet and whipping him across the ring. When he comes back Eagle leaps over the veteran, then when he returns he nails him with a stiff kick to the chest. This doesn’t send the bigger man down however, causing Eagle to nail a few more before trying to go for a suplex. However, Hidekazu is able to resist it and then nails a few stiff punches to the gut, forcing the youngster to release him, then follows up with a side headlock. Eagle is able to force him over to the ropes and whips him across the ring again, but when he comes back Hidekazu is able to catch him with a leaping forearm out of nowhere.

This sends Eagle down to the mat, and Hidekazu promptly leaps on top of him, locking him in a tight seated arm bar, adding in a chin lock to increase the pressure even more. Eagle seems to be in a lot of pain, but he is able to fight his way over to the ropes, forcing the veteran to release him and back away. Eagle slowly begins to pull himself up to his feet using the ropes, but Hidekazu is on him again before he can do anything, laying into him with elbows and forearm shows before whipping him across the ring. However, when he attempts to catch Eagle with a clothesline as he comes back, the youngster is able to leap into the air and nail a head scissors that sends Hidekazu tumbling across the ring. The veteran rushes up to his feet, only to be caught with a dropkick from Eagle that sends him flying into the turnbuckles. He hits them hard and then collapses to the mat, leaning against the bottom one, and Eagle promptly follows up with a hesitation dropkick before pulling him back up to his feet. Hidekazu is barely able to stand, being dazed from the recent assault, allowing Eagle to kick him in the gut and nail a quick running bulldog before measuring his opponent. He signals to the crowd, and as he sees the veteran getting up to his feet he runs to the ropes before coming back with a devastating Vision Quest, before going for the cover. The veteran was completely out of it, and just like that Eagle had turned the match right around and got the victory.

Winner: Eagle Kawasawa by pinfall in 8:08 – C+

Eagle doesn’t celebrate, but instead goes outside and grabs a microphone before rolling back into the ring. He speaks quickly and with a tone of anger in his voice.

“I want to say one thing, and one thing only. I am sick to the core of being ignored by management here. I know you fans want to see my skills and to actually get the entertainment you deserve, and not to see people who should have retired years ago stealing the spotlight of the youngsters. So let me make a point, I am going to challenge one of these men to a match, to prove just why he should have gone from this business years ago. Awesome Thunder, I want you in this ring at Breakdancing Potatoes.”

He drops the microphone and slaps a few fans hands before running backstage.

B

However, before he gets backstage, he is laid out by a random shot that sends him flying backwards. After a few seconds Mr Miwa emerges with Rhino Umaga in tow, and the manager has a grin on his face.

“You really want to put yourself in that position, challenging my client, Thunder, who is over ten times better than you can ever hope to be?”

He slaps the unconcious Eagle a few times before laughing again.

“So be it then Eagle, I accept your challenge on behalf of my client, and I hope for your sake that you train hard, because you are going to need it.”

After gesturing towards Rhino Umaga, he struts down to the ring with the champ still behind him, and he climbs into the ring with a very smug look on his face. Eagle is dragged backwards by a few referees as Miwa waits for the crowd to stop booing him.

“I know all of you are just jealous of us, but if you could be quiet for a few minutes and listen to those who are much better off than you then I would appreciate it.”

The crowd boos him louder than before, and Miwa doesn’t look pleased.

“I should’ve known that people as stupid as you wouldn’t be able to keep your stupid traps shut. It doesn’t matter; I’ll just speak over the incompetent drivel that are your voices.”

The crowd boo but then shut up after Umaga looks like he might just run into the crowd.

“Thankyou, I think you fans know why I am out here tonight, a week ago I gave a certain superstar until now the chance to come out here. I warned him that if he didn’t then my client here in this ring would come and search for him, and the results wouldn’t be pretty. And yet I have heard nothing from this man, who seems incapable of being a man. Tom, if you’re not even willing to walk down that ramp to merely show your face, I don’t know why you should even get a shot at my client.”

Suddenly Gilmore’s music plays, and Miwa looks slightly worried, while the champion gets himself geared for a fight, but nobody comes out. After a while, Miwa laughs out loud, and Rhino appears to as well, before Miwa speaks again.

“This is exactly what I’m talking about, you’ve challenged me and my client time and again, but you’ve never proved yourself to be even worth the time. The Wrecking Ball, The Universal Champion, The Immovable Leviathan, my client, cannot be stopped, especially not by you. You have fallen twice before to my client, and no matter whether you show up, you will still lo-“

Gilmore’s music plays again, and the man himself does actually emerge this time. He has a smile on his face as he looks over the crowd, before looking at Miwa with a disbelief like expression.

“Did you never learn how to shut up Miwa?”

The crowd laughs and cheers while Miwa fumes in the ring.

“The reason why I didn’t come out a few seconds ago was because I was having way too much fun laughing at your little whining and complaining episode there.”

He continues to make his way down to the ring, with a smile on his face, and the crowd laughs along with him. Miwa still looks angry, before only just managing to hold back the champ, as Rhino looks ready to attack Gilmore.

“As you’ve already probably guessed, that’s right, I was the one behind that message, it isn’t that hard to see, and I did it to remind you that there is still someone who wants to have a shot at that man’s belt, and who has the ability to take it. Need I bring up me leaving you a bloody mess a few months ago? And yet you feel like you can slander me as if you’re better than me.”

Rhino moves forward as if to get out of the ring and attack Gilmore, but the returning man just puts up his hand.

“I’m not here to fight tonight though, I merely came to accept the chance of a title match, and as they say, third time’s the charm, and I will prove that at Breakdancing Potatoes.”

Miwa looks concerned again before breaking into laughter once more.

“Were the first two times not enough for you? Yes you attacked me, but you have still lost twice to my client, and he has absolutely destroyed you both times.”

Gilmore smiles as he shakes his head.

“You didn’t let me finish, I’m not the only person back there who wants a shot at the title. You have made dangerous enemies back there Miwa, due to your actions, and they can easily make your life a living hell. But my main message is that there is another talented man who you’ve met before who wants a shot at the pay per view. Be careful where you tread...”

Gilmore looks to the crowd who cheer for him to finish his catch phrase.

“..because anger lies everywhere.”

Gilmore then drops the microphone, with the crowd loudly cheering him on. Miwa looks worried at the prospect of having his client in a three way match, and begins to talk to Rhino as Gilmore heads backstage, slapping the hands of fans that he meets as he goes up the ramp.

B+ for Miwa response and for challenging Gilmore to come out.
A for Gilmore’s return.

Match 4: The Great Hisato vs. Haru Kurofuji.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheGreatHisato.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/HaruKurofuji.jpg

The two men circled each other as the match started, before stopping and staring each other down. Neither man moved for quite some time, and the tension reached fever pitch before they both charged forward and collided in the ring. Haru tried to take control with a wrist wrench, but Hisato was able to cartwheel out of it, only to wind up in a hammerlock, as Haru was able to adapt almost right away. The more experienced Hisato struggled for a little bit, not being able to get out of the hold before throwing Haru over his head with a take down. He didn’t follow that up however, and soon found himself in a standing arm bar as Haru tried to wear him down nice and early on in the match. Hisato again took some time before trying to escape, but instead of breaking the hold he fought his way over to the ropes, forcing Haru to release him and back away. As Hisato used the ropes to get his balance back, Haru tried to run forward and knock him out of the ring, but Hisato was able to catch him with a rana out of nowhere that sends him tumbling out of the ring.

Haru landed on his feet, and tried to get back into the ring only to be caught with a baseball slide right to the face that sent him reeling up the ramp. Hisato charged after him and tried to nail a head scissors, but Haru is able to catch him in mid air with a vicious dropkick right to the stomach. Hisato gasped for air and dropped out of the air like a lead weight before hitting the ramp. Both men realised that they were close to being counted out and made their way back into the ring, with the first man back in being Hisato, who had managed to recover quite quickly from that blow. As they got up to their feet, they began to exchange blows, with Kurofuji being able to come out on top with a series of stiff forearm shots that sent Hisato stumbling backwards. Haru promptly booted him in the gut and whipped him across the ring, and when he came back he sent him up and over with a big back body drop. Hisato hit the mat hard and cringed while he grabbed his back, but Haru refused to give him any time to recover, and pulled him back up before drilling him with a leaping DDT, with Hisato spending a few moments being completely vertical before flopping onto the mat. Haru had a big smile on his face as he made the cover.

One...
Two...

But Hisato is able to get the shoulder up just before the three, causing Haru to slap the mat and pull him right back up to his feet. He did this too quickly however, and Hisato is able to catch him with a stiff uppercut right to the jaw before running forward and nailing a spinning leg lariat right to the top of the head that flips Haru over from the impact. Both men are down for a little while, but the first person to be up to his feet is once again Hisato, who pulls Kurofuji up to his feet and whips him across the ring. When he comes back Hisato tries to nail a leaping dropkick, but Haru is able to catch his feet in mid air and then drop to the mat with a modified cross knee lock, causing Hisato to scream in pain and desperately try to reach the ropes. Haru has him dead in the middle of the ring however, and Hisato comes close to tapping before he is finally able to make his way over to the ropes and force his younger rival to release him. Haru does so, but as soon as he gets up he drags Hisato back into the middle of the ring and stomps away at the weakened knee before backing away into a corner.

Hisato is clutching at his knee before he begins to get up to his feet, and when he is up, he gets sent right back down when Haru runs forward and nails a chop block right to the bad leg, causing Hisato to yelp in pain. Haru seems to be smiling, and he goes to lock Hisato in another leg lock, but the older Hisato is able to snap off a hurracanrana out of nowhere, but it may have done him more damage than good, because he grabs his bad knee again immediately after pulling off the move. Haru sense this, and when he gets back up to his feet he rushes over to Hisato and stomps away at the bad knee again before pulling him up to his feet and booting him in the gut. Hisato tries to put up a fight, but when he swings a few punches Haru is able to duck them and then kick him in the bad knee again. Kurofuji then lifts him up to try and go for a suplex, but Hisato manages to escape it just in time, and snaps off a hurracanrana out of nowhere, hooking the leg.

One...
Two..
Thr...

No! Haru is able to kick out just at the last second.

Hisato can’t believe and slowly makes his way up to the top rope, but he takes too long due to his bad knee, and Haru is able to quickly follow him up and catch him in the back with a clubbing blow. Hisato begins to lose his balance, and Haru quickly follows up with a Super Release Tiger Suplex, causing Hisato to land right on his head when he hits the mat. Neither man moves for quite some time due to the damage of the move, but when they do it is Haru who is moving over to Hisato, before limply placing his arm across Hisato.

One...
Two...
Thre..NO!

Somehow Hisato is able to kick out once again, and Haru has a look of utter disbelief on his face as he gets up to his feet. Hisato slowly begins to move as well, but by the time he is up to his feet Haru is right back on the offensive, kicking him in the gut and then whipping him across the ring. Haru puts his head down, planning to hit another big back body drop, but Hisato is able to put the brakes on and leapt onto a nearby turnbuckle. Haru has no idea what is going on, and when Hisato runs across the ropes and nails the Jade Warrior Plunge, he has no defence. Hisato eagerly then makes the cover on a stunned Haru.

One...
Two...
Th...No!

Haru is able to kick out just in time, and when Hisato tries to follow up quickly, his knee gives way and he drops down to all fours in pain. Haru sees his chance and kips up to his feet, signals to the crowd then nails a running dropkick across the face, spinning Hisato round before he drops to the mat. Hisato tries to then get back up to his feet, but Haru is one step ahead of him, and after kicking him in the knee again he catches him with a german suplex that dumps him right on his head before rushing up top. Hisato is still down, so Haru leaps off the turnbuckles before coming crashing down with the Suicide Headbutt, catching Hisato right on the head, then makes the cover.

One...
Two...
Three!

And that’s that, Kurofuji is victorious in a very good match that was very close to going either way.

Winner: Haru Kurofuji by pinfall in 15:58 – A

Summary:
Guardian def. Kimuraman – C+
Bussho Makiguchi def. Eguchi The Amazing – C-
Eagle Kawasawa def. Hidekazu – C+
Haru Kurofuji def. The Great Hisato - A

Overall = B
Notes: Bussho/Eguchi was a real disappointment, no idea why it was so low, considering the talent levels, plus there were no chemistry notes.

Tour Show #12

Held at the Kyoto Arena
Saturday, Week 2, May 2011
Attendance = 2,000 (Sell-Out!)
Announcers = Isei Deushi & Koyo Raikatuji

Main Show

Nariaki Hitomi is seen walking around backstage, his hands clasping his head in a sense of anger and confusion. The only words we can pick up are:

“How could he...”
“Why would she turn down this...for that?”

He continues to have this hissy fit before he flips a chair that only just misses hitting Magnum KOBE in the face. The former title challenger looks angry for a moment before a smirk comes across his face.

“Awwww, is little Hitomi upset? Not get your woman?”

Hitomi goes to smack him but Kobe easily dodges it then sharply knees the big man in the gut. He leans into speak to the winded Hitomi:

“From what I heard, those two are going out next week, maybe you could try and win her back to your side.”

He turns and walks down the hallway, the camera picking up a quick “as if!” from Kobe, while Hitomi is just getting back up, a look of pain on his face as he leans against the wall.

C- for the hissy fit
B- for Kobe taunting Hitomi

Match 1: Nariaki Hitomi vs. The Great Hisato

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/NariakiHitomi_alt.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheGreatHisato.jpg

Hitomi still looks winded as he makes his way down to the ring, and at the beginning of the match the veteran Hisato takes full advantage of this as he runs rings around the bigger man, scooting in for a few hits before quickly getting back out of range. Hitomi begins to fade quickly in this situation, but Hisato gets a little too overconfident, and tries to go for a German Suplex, but Hitomi is able to resist before nailing a sharp elbow that sends Hisato staggering backwards into the ropes. The big man takes a few seconds to get his breath back before running at the veteran, only to have Hisato nail an enziguri out of nowhere, sending the big man back down to his knees. Hisato takes his times as well, before running across the ring and trying to go for a big basement dropkick right across the face, but Hitomi is able to summon up the energy to leap forward and nearly decapitate the veteran with a big clothesline out of nowhere. Both men are down for a while, and the first to move is Hitomi, who pulls Hisato up to his feet before booting him in the gut.

The big man then lays into the veteran with several stiff elbows before sending him flying with a belly to belly suplex. Hisato grabs his back in pain before slowly getting up to his feet, and when Hitomi comes charging at him again he leaps into the air and nails a big hurracanrana that also sends the big man up and over the top rope. He manages to land on his feet, and after gaining his balance he turns to face the ring, only to have Hisato hurdle the top rope and nail a beautiful hurracanrana on him, driving Hitomi head first into the unforgiving floor. Hisato is able to dominate the rest of the match from then on, due to Hitomi being too dazed to really fight back. The end of the match happens when Hisato tries to go for a neckbreaker on the big man, only to Hitomi throw him off and try to nail a big clothesline. Hisato is able to duck it at the last moment, and then catches Hitomi with alternating kicks to the chest and back before then nailing the Mystic Dragon Wave, the mat shaking when Hitomi hits the mat with the impact of the move. This sends him right out, and Hisato is able to gain the victory in a good opener.

Winner: The Great Hisato by pinfall in 11:39 – C+

After a break we return to see the Incredible KOYAMA in the ring, proudly wearing his title belt. He has a microphone in hand and waits for the crowd to quieten down before speaking.

“I still haven’t received any sort of response from a certain coward that I challenged to a match. So I’m out here tonight to demand an answer, and I’m not going to leave until that man comes down to this ring and accepts it face to face.”

Koyama drops the mic, and after a few moments Lassana’s face appears on the big screen.

“Why should I come out there and face you? I’ve already beaten your a** once, and I’m don’t wanna have to do it again before our match. And you know it, I know it, and the whole crowd knows it, that you don’t stand a damn chance against me. As soon as I’m in that ring, the next thing you’ll see is stars after I knock you out with that one punch. That’s all it takes, one punch, and you’ll have not only lost the match, but also your title and your own exaggerated pride. For your sake, I’ll put off coming to that ring tonight, but I accept that match at Breakdancing Potatoes, and I damn well hope you bring your best, because despite you saying you’ll walk in and out the champion, the only way you’ll be leaving is in a stretcher.”

Lassana laughs before his face disappears, leaving an angry KOYAMA in the ring.

C+ for both the re-challenge, and the response/taunt

Match 2: Panda Mask II vs. Guardian.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/PandaMask.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/WhiteSamurai.jpg

Panda Mask looks fairly confident heading into this match, while Guardian looks as expressionless as always. When the bell rings, neither man moves at all, with Panda looking fairly worried about what his opponent could do, but he eventually summons the courage to charge forward and try to go for a shoulder block. Guardian just takes the impact however, not showing any pain, and when Panda tries again he just floors him with a leaping kick to the face before landing back on his feet. Panda grabs at his nose before slowly making his way up to his feet, but before he can do anything Guardian knees him in the gut several times before whipping him across the ring. When he comes back the DEMON Army man tries to go for the Bushido Knee nice and early, but Panda is able to slide underneath it, and then when Guardian turns around nail a beautiful head scissors that sends him tumbling out of the ring. Guardian hits the floor hard before making his way up to his feet, but Panda is right back on top of him after running across the ring and leaping onto the top rope before nailing a perfect moonsault all in one fluid motion.

Both men were down for quite some time, with Panda being the first one to move, and he got right back into the ring as soon as he was up. When he saw Guardian getting up he tried to go for a baseball slide, but Guardian grabbed his legs, pulled him out of the ring then nailed a clothesline out of nowhere, causing Panda to hit his head on the apron before flopping to the floor. Guardian looked down at him before rolling him back into the ring. He pulled him back up to his feet, with Panda offering no resistance at all, then booted him in the gut before leaping onto his shoulder and throwing him to the mat with a victory roll arm bar, which Panda again didn’t react to. Guardian noticed this and let go, before pulling the smaller man back up to his feet. He nailed a few quick elbows before running to the ropes, going for the Bushido Knee again, but Panda was able to counter out of nowhere with a big dropkick. Guardian tried to get up to his feet, but Panda stomped on his back before climbing onto it. Guardian tried again to get up, but the smaller man nailed a beautiful standing moonsault right to his back, sending him back down to the mat. The youngster sensed momentum going his way and he waited in the corner, and when Guardian got up, he tried to go for the Pandamonium Part 2., a tilt-a-whirl reverse DDT, but the more experienced Guardian countered with a face buster, and when Panda got back up he charged forward and nailed the Bushido Knee out of nowhere, with Panda flipping over due to the impact and landing on the top of his head. Guardian looked out at the crowd before making the cover, getting the fairly easy, thought surprisingly contested, victory.

Winners: Guardian by pinfall in 6:58 - B- (Panda Mask was apparently off his game, but this is still his best singles match so far)

Guardian takes a few moments to soak in the victory before looking down at Panda Mask. He looked out at the crowd for a few seconds before heading towards the youngster, only to see the Show Stealer Champion, Silver Shark suddenly appear and pull Panda Mask out of the ring. The camera follows Shark backstage where he suddenly runs into Hell Monkey.

“He is not happy with what you have done. In preventing us from carrying out our quest you will meet a much more disastrous end than you were meant to. You should have realised that crossing our paths was not a smart idea, and yet you still did it anyway. In two weeks, you will meet your end, and nobody can save you.”

Shark looks a bit worried but carries on down the hall, Panda Mask having recovered now and following slowly behind the champion.

C+ for both the save and the warning.

Match 3: The Incredible KOYAMA(c) vs. Tasuku Shinozuka
For the World Level Streetfighting Title

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TheIncredibleKoyama.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TasukuShinozuka.jpg

Koyama came down to the ring with his usual trolley of weapons, with a big stop sign poking out of the top, but he looked a lot angrier than usual, and didn’t slap the fans hands on the way down to the ring, instead setting his sights on the veteran in the ring. When the bell rang, Tasuku tried to trip up the youngster with a quick drop toehold, but Koyama was able to land in a press up and then yanked his legs away before getting back up to his feet. The veteran rushed in again, and was able to hit a quick boot to the gut before going for a wrist wrench. Koyama winced in pain before breaking out of the hold and applying a wrist wrench of his own. The veteran Tasuku dropped down to one knee from the pain, yet when he tried to break out of it, Koyama quickly switched it into a hammerlock before applying a sleeper hold. Tasuku flailed with his arms to try and reach the ropes, but he was right in the middle of the ring, and whenever he tried to edge his way over to the ropes the champ dragged him right back into the middle.

He began to fade quickly, but just when it seemed like he was out for the night, with the referee raising his arm, he suddenly got back his energy and began to fight back, getting up to standing and elbowing the champ several times in the gut before running to the ropes. However, when he came back he was met with a springboard missile dropkick that turned him inside out from the champ. Koyama pointed to the audience then to the trolley, and he headed out of the ring. The champ circled the trolley before yanking out the stop sign, pulling it off the pole, and then throwing it into the ring. A steel chair and two garbage can lids soon followed, with Tasuku not really knowing what was going on. The champ rolled back into the ring with a smile on his face, and when the veteran began to get back up to his feet, Koyama grabbed the stop sign before charging at Tasuku and nailing him in the face with it, sending Tasuku back down to the mat. Koyama wasn’t going to let him out that quickly however, as he dragged Tasuku back up to his feet and kicked him in the gut before then throwing him up and over with a gutwrench suplex, bringing the veteran down on top of the steel chair, causing Tasuku to yell in pain and grasp maniacally at his back.

The crowd were cheering Koyama on at this point, and he gladly continued the beat down, taking a few moments to soak in the praise before pulling Tasuku back up to his feet. The veteran was able to get in a few elbow shots, but it soon turned into a strike exchange, with neither man really giving way until Koyama was able to nail a brutal pointed elbow strike to the jaw that sent Tasuku down to his knees. When he got back up, Koyama grabbed the garbage can lids and brought them both down, one after the other, over the head of the veteran, who was burst open from the second shot. Koyama still wasn’t done though, and he pulled Tasuku back up to his feet before placing him on the ropes. He then pulled the steel chair nearby to him, before booting the veteran in the gut and then hitting a rope run spike DDT, called the Bounce Factor, onto the chair, causing Tasuku to go vertical for a few seconds from the impact. The veteran was now bleeding fairly badly, but Koyama was ready to finish it, and he quickly pulled Tasuku back up to his feet before nailing the Incredible Death Spike, and went for the cover, getting the academic victory. As he celebrated, he pointed to the back as if he had just sent a message to Lassana.

Winner: The Incredible KOYAMA by pinfall in 7:48 – B-

After a break we come back to see an empty ring. Suddenly familiar music plays and Greg Gauge makes his way out from the back, with the crowd nearly blowing the roof off in cheers for their favourite. The youngster looks around with a massive smile on his face, which stays on as he walks down to the ring, occasionally slapping hands with the fans who reach out towards him as he strides down. When he eventually gets into the ring, he asks for a microphone.

“Thankyou everybody, truly thankyou. It is because of all of you people out there supporting me day in and day out that I was finally able to achieve a massive victory for me, defeating the undoubted ace of this company, Awesome Thunder.”

The fans cheer again due to them remembering the match.

“But I am not out here to brag, which is not in my nature at all, but I am instead here to answer a question, well actually a couple of questions, that I am sure you have been asking yourselves. Where do I go from here, and who is that man who Angry Gilmore referred to a couple of days ago?”

His smile returns as he looks out at the crowd.

“Where I go from here is simple, I carry on doing my best and trying to achieve the fame that my father gained while in this sport, and in order to do that I need to push myself the furthest I can. And to do that I’m challenging the Universal Champion to add me to that title match taking place at Breakdancing Potatoes, as I want to prove to you fans that your support has been worthwhile and that I am able to give you a great match.”

The fans cheer him, and the smile returns once again.

“I already know that my good friend Angry Gilmore is a part of that match, but I had a feeling that Mr Miwa couldn’t help but agree if it meant his client got a chance to be ‘even better than he already is’. So let me repeat myself a little bit here, I want to be a part of that title match in two weeks, and I don’t care what I have to go through, I will be a part of that, because I know you can’t turn down a challenge Miwa.”

Greg smiles again and hands back the microphone to a staff member, when Rhino Umaga’s music blurts out over the speaker system, and the champ soon emerges from the back, followed closely by Mr Miwa, who is already holding a microphone.

“So let me get this straight, you want, even after all the times that we have beaten you, and that last win was an obvious and complete fluke, to go up against the very best this company has to offer? Did you not listen a couple of days ago when I spoke to your little friend Tom Gilmore? If he can’t beat my client after two tries, then there is no way in hell that you even stand a chance against the champion, let alone against both Tom and the champ.”

Rhino lets out a rumbling laugh as Greg seems quite ticked off inside the ring.

“But if you insist on putting your life and your career in danger, then I have no problem with my client facing both you and Gilmore in two weeks, all the more proof that my client is the very best when he emerges victorious, with the belt still around his waist. But you actually have to prove yourself to myself and my client before we even consider letting you challenge for the belt. I am going to make your life a living hell for the next two weeks, and if you somehow survive, then you will be in that title match, just to be broken in half by the Wrecking Ball like so many before you.”

Miwa smirks at Greg before walking backstage with the champion.

B+ for challenge/reveal and response from Miwa

Match 4: Eagle Kawasawa vs. KOKI Ishibashi.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/EagleKawasawa.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/KokiIshibashi.jpg

Eagle looked fairly confident going into this match, while Ishibashi looked quite worried, but still focused. When the bell rang, Eagle tried to rush the veteran with a few quick forearms, but he soon found himself in an arm bar, with Koki suddenly grabbing his arm during a strike attempt and then wrenching it suddenly out of joint before locking in the hold. The youngster yelped in pain, and struggled in agony, and when he tried to get back up to his feet the veteran elbowed the joint to cause even more pain. Eventually however, the youngster was able to get to the ropes, hooking his foot over the rope. Koki backed away and spoke to the referee before suddenly running forward and kicking Eagle in the face, sending him tumbling through the ropes to the outside. The referee told the veteran to get Eagle back in, but Koki just laughed it off before climbing out of the ring. When he dropped off the apron he tried to go for a wrist wrench, but Eagle was able to get his hand free before then locking the veteran in a hammerlock, then rammed him arm first into the apron, causing Koki to cringe and grasp at his arm.

Eagle then followed up with a few kicks to the gut before trying to go for a snap suplex, but the veteran was able to club him a few times in the bad arm, causing the youngster to yelp and back away. Koki took advantage of this with a quick knee to the gut before nailing a swinging neckbreaker on the hard concrete. Neither man really moved for a little while, but when he realised the referee was close to counting them out, Koki quickly rolled back in and out of the ring to break the count. The veteran smirked and pulled Eagle back up, but got an uppercut to his bad arm, causing him to cringe just long enough for Eagle to catch him with a leaping knee to the face before whipping him into the ring. The youngster followed him in and then pulled him up to his feet, but they soon broke down into a duel of blows, with neither man giving any ground whatsoever after several shots. They began to trade blows at lightning pace before Koki was able to duck a shot and then catch the youngster with a leaping knee of his own to the bad arm, causing Eagle to stagger backwards holding his arm.

Koki quickly rushed forward and went to whip Eagle across the ring, but the youngster was able to counter it and whip the veteran across the ring himself, but he cringed while doing so, leaving him open for a big clothesline from Koki when he came back. Both men were down for a little while before Koki got up and stomped away at the bad arm of the youngster, before then lifting it up and driving it back down with his knee. Eagle yelled loudly in agony and tried to wrench his arm away, but the veteran sat across his bad arm and locked it in a modified arm bar. Eagle tried desperately to get out of it, before really stretching with his legs and just managing to place his foot on the ropes. Koki was very frustrated at this, and got up to his feet, bringing the youngster up with him, and locked him in a chickenwing hold, causing him to drop down to one knee. Eagle was able to get out of this however with a roll and then kicked Koki out of nowhere right in the shoulder, causing him to cringe and walk away. When he turned back around he was caught full in the face with a big dropkick that sent him into the corner.

He hit the turnbuckles hard, but when he tried to get back out Eagle pushed him in again and then nailed another dropkick. The youngster then went across the ring before running back and nailing a front flip dropkick right to the face, causing Koki to stagger out before flopping to the mat. Eagle smiled at the audience before going for the cover. But he only got a two count, and Koki almost immediately grabbed his arm and locked him back in another arm bar, this time scissoring the arm. The youngster screamed in pain, and only managed to get out of the hold due to being close to the ropes again. The veteran slapped the mat in anger before pulling the youngster up and booting him in the gut. Koki laughed and then slapped Eagle across the face, but was met with a stronger slap from the youngster that spun him around. Eagle took some time to get his breath back, but Koki spun back around and caught him with a vicious elbow to the jaw that sent Eagle staggering backwards. However, when the veteran tried to follow up with a clothesline, Eagle was able to duck under it and then quickly hit a big German Suplex out of nowhere, though he met initial resistance, dumping Koki on his head, then went for the cover.

One...
Two...
No!

Koki kicked out just after two, and rolled backwards to try and get back up to his feet. Eagle saw this as his chance and ran to the ropes, but when he tried to return with the Vision Quest Koki suddenly leapt up and caught him with a leg lariat, spinning the youngster around. The veteran slowly got up to his feet again, taking time to get his breath back, and then pulled Eagle back up to his feet before locking him in a hammerlock again. Eagle tried to fight back with his free elbow, but Koki was able to grab that free arm and lock it in an underhook style position. Eagle struggled to get free, and the referee came over to check on him, but Koki suddenly threw Eagle backwards with a modified Elemental Suplex, called the KOKI Driver, sending him flying into the referee, who was out like a light. The veteran stood up, realised what happened, then stomped four times on the canvas, and all of a sudden Dean Daniels hopped up from underneath the ring and chucked his colleague a steel chair. The veteran picked it up and waited for Eagle to get back up to his feet, and when he did it was actually the youngster who ran forward. Dean shouted from the apron for Koki to watch out, and this distracted the veteran enough to prevent him from defending himself when Eagle dropkicked the chair back into his face. Ishibashi dropped the chair and went down to one knee, completely on dream street, and Eagle followed up with a Vision Quest out of nowhere. Dean rushed in to try and salvage his screw up, but Eagle kicked him in the groin and then threw him out of the ring before going for the cover, getting the incredibly hard fought victory.

Winner: Eagle Kawasawa by pinfall in 15:20 – B+

Summary:
The Great Hisato def. Nariaki Hitomi – C+
Guardian def. Panda Mask II – B-
The Incredible KOYAMA def. Tasuku Shinozuka – B-

News

No news this week.

Card

Again a week full of action where we see the beginning of Greg Gauge’s trial as it were, as he faces three of Mr Miwa’s clients in various matches this week.

To kick off the first show, we have the young hopeful Panda Mask II taking on Marat Khoklov. The youngster has been eager to prove himself ever since the Little People/Mexican Invasion feud, and has done a fairly good job of that recently, showing improvement in every match, but could this be a step too far? Will he be able to somehow defeat the “Russian Behemoth”?

We then have the DEMON Army being represented as Dozer & Jackhammer take on the fairly experienced team of Tasuku Shinozuka and Takesi Umehara. Will the Army soldiers be able to continue their recent run? Or will the veteran somehow throw them off their stride?

Jacob Jett is back as he takes on fellow youngster Kimuraman in what looks to be a fast paced match up. Will he continue his streak with another victory? Or will the young Kimuraman look to shut him up and stake his own claim?

Then in the main event we have the first of Greg’s challenges, when he faces a familiar opponent in Samoan Machine. Will it be the muscle of the Miwa faction that takes the victory? Or will Greg’s determination and pure drive pull through and get him one step closer to that title match?

Then to kick off the second show of the week, we have Silver Shark perhaps paying for the saving of Panda Mask II last week as he teams with the youngster to take on the DEMON Army combination of his challenger Guardian and the hulking Dozer. Will the champ be able to upset his opponents? And will the previous matches have taken their toll on poor Panda Mask?

We then have the second challenge for Greg Gauge, as he takes on The Samoan Wildboyz in a handicap match. Will the youthful team be able to prove themselves with a victory over the rising Greg? Or will the second generation superstar be able to beat the team all on his own, and again take another step towards getting his dream title shot?

The Circle of Blood were said to be furious with Dean Daniels last week, and they forced him into a match with an equally furious Mabuchi Furusawa. Will the CoB man be able to get back in good spirits by quelling the angry tag champion? Or will Mabuchi use Dean as a punching bag for all his pent up rage towards the DEMON Army?

Angry Gilmore then makes his in ring return as he takes on the “Russian Behemoth”, Marat Khoklov, in what is a repeat of their epic match back in January. Will Gilmore be able to get the same result as before and come out on top? Or will Marat do the same damage as their last encounter, forcing Gilmore to leave with medical help?

Tour Show #13

Held at the Saitama Sports Field
Tuesday, Week 3, May 2011
Attendance = 2,000 (Sell-Out!)
Announcers = Isei Deushi & Koyo Raikatuji

Main Show

To start off the show, we got backstage to see Mr Miwa, a proud smirk on his face, with the Universal Champion, Rhino Umaga and Samoan Machine flanking him. He takes some time to soak in the boos from the crowd before he speaks.

“Tonight, I have decided to give you useless idiots the chance to see something truly memorable. The time a dream dies, when we finally crush that overconfident, untalented brat Greg Gauge and take him out forever. He signed his own death warrant when he challenged for the World Title, and tonight you will see what will happen to anybody who ever makes the same mistake.”

A massive smile, almost a sadistic one, crosses the face of Machine, before he lets out a quick laugh.

“Greg Gauge, I have warned you several times about what happens when you get in our way, you’ve seen it firsthand. My client, Awesome Thunder, beat you to a pulp in your first encounter, and you’ve seen your friends get attacked by the champion and others. Yet you still continue to try and succeed, but I ask you. How can you succeed when you can’t move?”

Miwa pauses to let the question sink in.

“Because we all know when you step into the ring with a man the calibre of my clients, Samoan Machine, and then the champion Rhino Umaga, you are walking down death row, you are preparing yourself for destruction by the Wrecking Ball and the Machine. And if you should prove yourself worthy of that title match at Breakdancing Potatoes, it will be no different when you face my client, the champion for his title.”

Umaga and Machine smile at each other following this statement, almost as if they have a plan.

“I give you one last warning Greg, get out of our way before we truly hurt you. I’ve said it before with Awesome Thunder, but he was injured during your match, something we believe you planned to do, and so he was not fit enough to perform like usual, if he was, he would have decimated you once again, and I say it now with Machine and Umaga. If you chose to get in our way one more time, there will be no mercy.”

B+ for the hype

Match 1: Marat Khoklov vs. Panda Mask II

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/MaratKhoklov.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/PandaMask.jpg

Panda Mask looks very intimidated as he makes his way down to the ring, and we see the reason why when he steps into the ring, as Khoklov absolutely towers over the youngster, Panda’s head just barely meeting his chest. The big Russian lets out a hearty, yet chilling, laugh as soon as the bell rings, and then pushes the smaller Panda Mask away from him with just a push of his palm, sending the youngster flying across the ring and through the ropes. He lets out another laugh before stomping madly on the mat, as if demanding that Panda get back in the ring. It takes some time, but the youngster eventually does get back in the ring, and almost as soon as he gets in the ring Marat charges towards him with a Lariat attempt, but Panda is somehow able to duck underneath just in time and then runs across the ring. When he comes back, he tries to nail a running dropkick, but it has no effect at all, the smaller man seemingly just bouncing off the chest of the Russian.

Marat laughs again at the failed attempt before pulling the smaller man back up to his feet. As he does, he is met with several stiff uppercuts from Panda Mask, who is desperately fighting back, and they seem to have an effect, even if Panda has to jump into the air to get the full power behind them, but after a fifth shot Marat chops Panda in the head, and the smaller man crumples immediately to the mat, holding his head while yelling in agony. Marat looks out to the crowd, who have gone silent at this brutal match, and this causes the Russian to laugh again before occasionally stomping at the body of Panda Mask, who writhes in pain each time. However, when he goes for a fifth stomp, Panda is able to get amazing elevation as he bounces off the mat into the air and goes for a hurracanrana, and this sends Marat stumbling forwards into the ropes. They barely manage to hold him as Panda tries to follow up with a leaping leg lariat, but Marat catches him in mid air and then drops him outside the ring, the youngster hitting the floor with a heavy thud. He nearly gets counted out before he slowly gets up to his feet then rolls back into the ring. Marat seems fairly surprised at this, and pulls the youngster back up and then whips him across the ring. Panda manages to fight back and comes flying back with a big forearm, managing to catch the big man in the jaw due to an amazing vertical leap, before running to the ropes again and trying to nail a leaping headscissors, but Marat suddenly catches him again before driving him sickeningly into the mat with a Russian Legend Powerbomb, Panda folding up like an accordion. Marat merely places a finger on the broken body of the smaller man as the referee makes the count.

Winner: Marat Khoklov by pinfall in 5:33 – C+

When Marat finally lumbers backstage, Guardian suddenly emerges from the back and tries to carry out an assault on the defenceless Panda Mask, but his plans are foiled once again because as soon as he lifts up a kendo stick he had just grabbed to strike the youngster, the Jaws theme plays before a fast paced rock theme starts up, with the Show Stealer Champion Silver Shark and Snow Fox charging out of the back, causing the crowd to cheer fairly loudly, and Guardian quickly steps out of the ring before they can get him.

Shark points at Guardian saying that he is ready now for their title match, but the Demon Army man just smirks before making a throat slitting motion and heading to the back. Shark raises his arms to the crowd before tending to a still down Panda Mask, with Snow Fox looking very concerned for his tag partner.

C- for attack attempt
C for rescue.

Match 2: The DEMON Army (Dozer & Jackhammer) vs. Shinozuka & Umehara.

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BulldozerBrandonSmith_alt3.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/JungleJackGrunge.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/TasukuShinozuka.jpg http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLWTakesiUmehara.jpg

Dozer and Jackhammer are accompanied by Guardian down to the ring, and when the bell rings, it is Dozer against Shinozuka to start it off, with the muscle of the DEMON Army having a lot of height over the veteran. There is no movement for quite some time, and you can sense the tension, the first person to do something was Shinozuka, who tried to take down Dozer with a big running forearm to the jaw, but all it did was momentarily dazed the big man, who then promptly fired back with an elbow right to the side of the face, sending Shinozuka reeling backwards. The big man takes a few moments to look out at the crowd before running in and flooring the veteran with a big running forearm of his own. Tasuku grabbed at his face in pain before slowly getting up to his feet, only to get kicked stiffly in the gut and yanked into the air. Dozer places him on his feet, then chops him across the chest, again sending the veteran staggering backwards, before following up with a running shoulder block. When he tries to follow up with an elbow drop though, the veteran is able to summon the energy to roll out of the way, and then tried to lock the gaijin in a crab hold, but Dozer is just too strong and throws the veteran into the ropes using his legs. When he rebounds, Dozer springs to his feet and catches the veteran with a spinning double knee backbreaker, causing Tasuku to yell in absolute agony as he rolls around on the mat.

Dozer smirks before getting up to his feet and walking casually over to his corner to tag in Jackhammer, who eagerly jumps into the ring before stomping away at the downed Tasuku. The veteran manages to edge his way over to the ropes to pull himself up, but the big gaijin continues to unload with several stiff stomps to the gut, and when Tasuku is up on his feet, Jackhammer knees him in the gut before sending him up and over with a snap suplex, and going for the cover.

One...
Two...
No!

Tasuku somehow manages to get the shoulder up despite all the punishment, and Jackhammer looks very frustrated, and instantly begins to stomp away at the veteran’s chest once again before running to the ropes. When he comes back he leaps into the air and comes crashing back down with a leaping knee drop, causing Tasuku to sit up and yell in pain before trying to reach for Takesi, who is desperately wanting to get into this match by this point, and Jackhammer teases him by stretching out Tasuku’s hand before pulling him up to his feet and nailing a stiff elbow to the face. However, just as he hits it the veteran suddenly springs into the air with an enziguri that sends the big gaijin to the mat, and the crowd begin to chant the veteran on. Tasuku slowly edges his way over to his corner, and makes the hot tag to Takesi, who bounds into the ring and charges towards Jackhammer, unleashing with several punches and kicks, but when he tries to whip the big man across the ring, Jackhammer counters with a short arm lariat, turning Takesi almost inside out. The gaijin then signals to the Dozer, and then pulls Takesi back up to his feet. The two men boot Takesi in the gut together before whipping him across the ring, and when he comes back they catch him with a double clothesline, but Takesi shows some resolve when he begins to get back up to his feet. Dozer notices this and quickly heaves the veteran onto his shoulders, then throws him off and catches him in the face with a lifting knee strike. Takesi stays standing but is incredibly dazed, leaving him defenceless when Jackhammer comes stampeding over him with a devastating big boot to the face that flips him over, this combination of moves (Go 2 Sleep/Running Big Boot) is called the DEMON Surge. Jackhammer then calmly rolls the veteran over and makes the cover, getting the victory.

Winners: Dozer & Jackhammer by pinfall in 10:24 - B-

After a quick break we return to see Jacob Jett calmly reclining on a locker room bench backstage. He then sits up slowly with a smile on his face, and begins to speak:

“Once again, I have decided to grace this company with my presence, so feel honored that you are getting to see one of the fastest rising prospects in the world in that ring.”

He looks down at the floor, and lets out a small laugh before looking back at the camera with a bigger smile.

“The sad thing is, I haven’t been given the break my obvious talent requires, as instead of challenging that fat hulking mass Rhino Umaga for his title, and coming away with the belt easily, I am being put in a match with a kid who thinks he is a superhero.”

His face is one of questioning, as if he can’t understand that concept.

“But it’s only slowing my rise to the top, give it a month, and I will be gracing the top of the cards and representing the company with the belt, and lord knows you guys need it, you need a perfect specimen like myself with that title being the face of your company.”

We can hear the fans booing loudly, but there are also a few audible cheers as well.

“I’m just better than you, deal with it.”

He smirks again before we cut to the ring.

B-

Match 3: Jacob Jett vs. Kimuraman

http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/JacobJett.jpg vs. http://i307.photobucket.com/albums/nn302/TrekkieMonsta/WLW/BeetleKimura.jpg

Jett looks very confident on his way down to the ring, a big smirk on his face, and this smirk only gets bigger when his opponent, Kimuraman, comes out from the back, bounding down the ramp and slapping the hands of the fans. When the bell rings, Jett mocks the native Kimuraman, who doesn’t seem to respond at all, until Jett tries to go for a clothesline, when Kimura is easily able to duck under it and then kick Jett in the rear, sending him staggering forward. The gaijin is angered by this and tries to go for another clothesline, only to have Kimura duck it again and then send him flying across the ring with a jumping arm drag. Jett slowly makes his way up to his feet again, favouring his arm, leaving him open to a running dropkick from Kimura that sends him into the corner, hitting the turnbuckles hard. As he staggers out, Kimura tries to go for a release power slam, by Jett is able to catch him in mid swing with a head scissors that sends Kimura tumbling out through the ropes to the outside.

The native Kimura is able to land near enough on his feet, and begins to climb back into the ring when Jett comes flying through the second rope with a dropkick, catching Kimura right in the face. This sends him reeling into the barricade, and Jett quickly follows up with a barrage of elbow shots to the face before rolling him back into the ring. He doesn’t let up at all though, continuing to unleash elbow after elbow to the face of Kimura until the masked star is nearly unconscious. Jett then smirks again before signalling to the crowd, however, when he goes for his signature back flip kick, the Jett Take Off, Kimura is able to dodge out of the way just in time, however when he tries to move in for a kick Jett is able to suddenly catch him out of nowhere with a rear thrust kick right to the face, sending Kimura down to the mat. This dazes him long enough for Jett to go up to the top rope and come diving off with a corkscrew moonsault, landing right on the gut of the native Kimura. He doesn’t go for the cover however, instead deciding to pull up Kimuraman and kick him in the gut before nailing the Jett Take Off, catching the smaller man on the back of the head and knocking him back down to the mat. The gaijin quickly rolls him over and makes the cover, getting his second victory and remaining undefeated.

Winner: Jacob Jett by pinfall in 11:45 – B

After a quick merchandising break, showing the Cyber Fighter 3000 How To Dance video and game, we go backstage again to see Greg Gauge warming up for his match, when he notices the camera his signature smile quickly etches itself across his face.

“Tonight, I am once again pursuing my dream, that chance to become a Universal Champion once again, to be a two time champion.”

The smile goes for a split second before retuning again.

“Some people have been asking me if I really want the title match that bad that I am willing to go through what they see as punishments. I’ve always answered yes, because to me any chance to prove myself to the great fans that this company has is all I could ask for. And to do it with the chance of getting in a title match is even better.”

He rubs his hands together while breathing out almost in a sigh.

“But I know that tonight I could well be in for the fight of my life, as Samoan Machine is no easy opponent. However, with the dream I have, and the support that the fans give me, I am sure that I will come out on top.”

He begins to jump up and down on the spot when suddenly Angry Gilmore walks into shot, the fans nearly exploding with cheers. Greg looks up and high fives his friend before Gilmore speaks:

“Good luck tonight mate, you and I have both faced Machine in the ring before, and you know that he is not an easy customer.”

Greg nods and agrees; a look of worry on his face.

“But you have all the talent in the world to show that ass Miwa that he isn’t the only one that has talent in this company, so win for me as well”

Gilmore laughs along with Greg, before patting the youngster on the shoulder.

“Do your best Greg, see you around.”

Angry then leaves the room and Greg has a bigger smile than before on his face as he warms up.

B+ for hype and psyching up.

As he walked down to the ring, you could see that Greg was fairly concerned about this match, most likely being nervous about whether or not the rest of the Samoan Death Squad would get involved. When the bell rang, Machine had that same sadistic smile on his face, and when they met in the middle of the ring, a brief stare down ensued, with neither man giving ground, until Machine decked the smaller Greg in the face with a sharp forearm smash. This sent him staggering backwards across the ring, but when Machine tried to follow up with a big running clothesline the smaller man was able to trip him up with a drop toe hold and then quickly leapt over into a side headlock. The big man struggled initially, but was able to fight his way up to his feet, but Greg was refusing to go. Machine struggled some more, trying to get out of it before finally lifting Greg high into the air and dropping him into the mat with a big back suplex. The youngster grabbed his head in pain before slowly getting up to his feet, but he soon found himself back on the defensive when the big Samoan unloaded on him with several sharp chops right to the chest, forcing him into the corner.

However, when Machine began to get a bit overconfident, Greg was able to block a shot and then turned the tables on his opponent, throwing Machine into the corner and then unleashing several sharp lightning fast chops, turning the Samoan’s chest bright red. When he was finished he stepped away, allowing Machine to stagger out of the corner holding his chest, but this was a mistake by the youngster, as Machine caught him with a clothesline out of nowhere that took him straight to the mat. Neither man moved for quite some time, and the first person up was Machine, who took a few moments to recover before pulling Greg up to his feet and booting him in the gut. He then whipped the youngster across the ring, and when he came back threw him over with a judo style arm drag before locking him in a grounded abdominal stretch. Greg tried to get out of it right away, but he couldn’t move at all, as Machine had the hold in tight, but he refused to stop fighting, and desperately began to drag himself over to the ropes. Machine saw this and kneed him stiffly in the back, causing Greg to yell in pain, but he summoned up a load of energy to unload with several strong elbows right to the face of the big Samoan.

This caused Machine to release him due to the damage, but as soon as Greg was up, the big man got right back up and began to batter away at the youngster with vicious elbows and chops, alternating between them, forcing Greg towards the ropes. He then tried to whip him across the ring, but the youngster quickly reversed it and sent Machine running across the ring instead, and when he came back he caught him with a big dropsault style dropkick right to the face, sending Machine reeling backwards. Greg noticed this and got back up and followed it up with a running elbow, but Machine still refused to go down, instead carrying on staggering backwards into the ropes. The youngster looked out at crowd and sensing his chance, he ran to the opposite ropes before coming back with a big clothesline attempt, aiming to send Machine to the outside, but the bigger man surprised him by darting forward, ducking the shot, and then sending him flying through the air with a big German Suplex. Greg landed right on the top of his head, and was motionless for quite some time before Machine stomped away at his head and then locked him in a grounded headlock. Greg managed to work his way backwards into the ropes, placing his foot on the bottom rope, but Machine didn’t release the hold, instead pulling Greg up with him and kneeing him several times in the face before sending him up and over with a butterfly suplex, then made the cover.

One...
Two....
Thre..No!

At the last split moment, Greg kicked out, leaving Machine gob smacked. The fans cheered and clapped him, and when he was pulled to his feet he fed off this energy to lay into the gut of Machine with several punches and elbows, before running to the ropes. When he came back the bigger man tried to catch him with another German Suplex, but Greg was able to reverse this into a jawbreaker, causing Machine to cringe in pain and back away on his knees. Greg got up to his feet and took a few moments to recover before charging forward and catching Machine with a kick to the gut followed by a quick roll up.

One...
Two...
No!

Machine kicked out just after two, and Greg tried to keep control of the match by pulling him right up to his feet, but he was caught him with a massive uppercut from Machine who then took him over with a snap suplex before locking him in an arm bar, driving his knee into the joint several times. Greg managed to edge his way over to the ropes once again, but Machine was still in control, as he pulled the youngster up to his feet and threw him into the corner before driving his shoulder into his gut several times, and then placed him on the top rope. Greg was dazed at this moment, but his instinct kicked in as he began to fight back, battering away at Machine with loads of elbows to the face that rocked the bigger man. Greg then took his chance, taking Machine up to the top rope, and signalled to the crowd for the Super Gauge Meter, but Machine began to fight back himself, catching the youngster with several stiff elbows to the side before then throwing him across the ring with a modified release belly to belly suplex, leaving both men down.

The referee began to count, but both men got up at the same time and began to exchange blows with each other. Neither man was able to gain any sort of advantage, until Machine suddenly unloaded with a driving elbow to the side of the head. This left Greg stunned, and allowed Machine to follow up with a few more stiff elbows before pulling him up to his feet and kicking him in the gut. Greg doubled over, but when Machine tried to take him over for a vertical suplex, Greg dropped down behind him and caught him with a jumping neckbreaker, with Machine crashing into the mat head first. Greg got back up to his feet and began to work over the arms of the big man, but Machine began to fight back with some kicks to the face, sending Greg staggering backwards. The Samoan then got back up to his feet and ran towards the youngster, only to get caught with a spinning leg lariat out of nowhere right to the jaw, taking him to the mat. As he was getting up, the Universal Champion suddenly came out of the crowd and ran into the ring before flattening Greg Gauge with the Rhino Charge, catching him off guard. The referee called for the DQ, but the champ didn’t care, kicking the referee out of the ring through the ropes.

Winner: Greg Gauge by DQ at 14:47 – A

Summary:
Marat Khoklov def. Panda Mask II – C+
Dozer & Jackhammer def. Shinozuka & Umehara – B-
Jacob Jett def. Kimuraman – B
Greg Gauge def. Samoan Machine by DQ - A

Overall = B+
Notes: A better card here, with Panda Mask II really improving, showing he can handle a match on his own. Jett is impressing me as well, as he seems to be a really solid midcarder, having gotten fairly good grades in both of his matches, even though they weren’t with that talented or popular wrestlers.
