Hakodate Citizen Gymnasium Thursday February 16 1000 fans Match one - Rookie tryout series #3: Jet Black, Ice Dragon{x} & Steel Cougar [9'52" Sleeperhold] Ultraman Zeta, Northstar{o} & Racer X - Match three of this series showed marked improvement over what we've seen so far. The match still wasn't of any kind of top quality, but there was less missed spots and more of an overall flow to the match. Only Jet Black really stunk up the ring. Ultraman Zeta was as over as ever, but Northstar also had strong support. Ice Dragon and Steel Cougar (the former Kurogama) impressed the most wrestling-wise, Dragon earning the win via a sleeperhold on Northstar, but also pulling off the match's biggest spot - running and launching off the back of Cougar, who was on his hands and knees near the ropes, flying over the ropes and coming down on Racer X's shoulders, before taking him down with a huracanrana at ringside! Match two: Kyuki Shonjo{x} & Crazy Bastard Cop [11'39" Dragon suplex hold] Kotaro Shimita & Tornado JINTEI{o} - As far as I know this was the first time teaming for everyone's favourite underdog rookie and everyone's favourite insane lawman. Shonjo has become accustomed to wrestling against more experienced upper-card wrestlers, and usually spends most of his time in the ring getting beat down. This match offered him a change of pace, because clearly the best wrestler in the ring was his partner, and he was able to compete on an even-footing with Shimita and JINTEI. Shonjo took his opportunity and ran with it, showing a lot more offensive firepower than ever before in a Dream Fujin ring. He also combined with CBC for an awesome spot - CBC was sitting on the top turnbuckle and lifted Shonjo up powerbomb-style, before throwing him into the air like a release powerbomb, where Shonjo turned it into a moonsault onto Shimita! The pin was broken up by JINTEI, who then dropkicked CBC out of the ring and hit a spin kick on Shonjo. JINTEI went for a springboard splash, but Shonjo got his knees up, then hit a dragon suplex, bridging for the 3-count. Match three: Jeff Kujawa[Free] [6'43" EMC] Shiro Namiguchi - One third of the Trinity-X champions made easy work of the former Uchu Koujin Red. Namiguchi continued to show more talent than when he was under the alien mask, and had Kujawa in trouble on a couple of occasions, but in the end Kujawa was too strong. The "Pretty Hate Machine" hit a series of hard-hitting moves before finishing Namiguchi off with "Eat My Cum", his fireman's carry into a Michinoku Driver II. Match four: Shoji Tamura & Bombay Kaijin{x} [8'18" Heaven's Crucible] Hasselhoff SE{o} & British Steel - Next up was Kujawa's championship teammates, as they faced the young and popular wigged duo of Hasselhoff SE and British Steel. Unfortunately for the fans, the masked pair never really got the chance to get going in this match, as they were dominated from start to finish. Tamura was in particularly-brutal form, nailing both opponents with an array of hard kicks and martial arts-style throws. It was left to Kaijin to pick up the win though, as he hit Hasselhoff with his rolling lariat, covering for the 1-2-3. Match five: Griffin James, Tate Monroe[HVW]{x} & Norihiko Miura [15'55" Textbook Finish] Apollo Kid III{o}, Elvis Sunday[NEXT] & Ty Walker[NEXT] - Wow, talk about a tough assignment first up for the debuting NEXT wrestlers Sunday and Walker! Not only a hard-hitting monk and a world class technician, but also the Master of Dem 'Bows! This match had a special feel to it, mainly because the wrestlers were getting the chance to see four world class Americans wrestling in Japan. The fans didn't really know what to make of Elvis Sunday, but that's probably because they've never seen a guy in a Hawaiian shirt with a huge orange-coloured afro before. As for the match itself, it started out in traditional trios match style, with the six men pairing off in the opening minutes - James with Walker, Monroe with Sunday and Miura with Apollo Kid. The first two combinations ended in stalemates, but Miura quickly got the better of his opponent and Apollo Kid went into face-in-peril mode for a good six or seven minutes. When he finally got the tag to Sunday, it seemed that a showdown with Griffin James was in the cards. But Sunday quickly found out how we do things a bit differently here in Japan, as James and his teammates cleared the ring and then gave the Afroed Hawaiian a warm welcome with a series of corner charges - Monroe with a lariat, Miura with a high knee and then James with one of his bone-jarring charging elbowshots! From there the match broke down completely, and went into a three-on-three brawl that took in the ringside area, mixed in with a series of big moves and nearfalls in the ring. Sunday and Walker very nearly pulled off a big upset when Walker hit Miura with a gutwrench backbreaker and Sunday then came off the top with a big elbow. Monroe made the save. Sunday also pulled off a nice move that drew a big "OOHHH" from the crowd, as he walked across the prone Monroe, standing on his legs, then his back, then his neck and hit a low dropkick to the fellow gaijin's face. He calls that move "Walking the Plank". At one point James and Monroe had a disagreement. They've never exactly been friends, and the tension between them was obvious, especially when Walker ducked a lariat and James hit Monroe instead. This led to an argument a few minutes later, and a little bit of pushing and shoving, before they were both laid out by Sunday and Walker. It looked like James would be the one picking up the win, after he hit Apollo Kid with his new finisher, the Fujingun Stinger (like a spear but impacting with an elbow to the chest), but Walker broke up the pin. He and James took their fight outside the ring. Sunday hit a leg lariat on Monroe, then a big plancha onto Miura at ringside. That left Monroe and Apollo Kid in the ring, both rising slowly. Apollo ducked a chop off the ropes and went for La Quebrada, but Monroe simply walked out of the way, leaving the white masked wrestler to hit the canvas. Monroe quickly followed up with his twisting fisherman buster, the Textbook Finish, getting the 3-count. Match six - Independent Super-Lightweight title: "Pink Spider" Usagi Yoshida© [21'27" US*AG~ISM] Darkness Kitty! [2nd Defence] - The crowd was red hot for the main event, swamping the ring with pink streamers when the champion was introduced, and also throwing black streamers for Kitty!, although a lot less than for Yoshida. Seconds for the match were Griffin James and Super Orange Panda. Before the opening bell, Yoshida removed his pink tracksuit jacket to reveal... a pink Hello Kitty! t-shirt! The fans cheered this, and it had the expected effect on Darkness Kitty!, who immediately went into a rage and attacked Yoshida, as the bell sounded! Kitty! laid into Yoshida with plenty of vigour, hitting a nice leg lariat and then pulling the t-shirt off of him. He threw it onto the mat and started to stomp on it, drawing some applause and some laughter from the crowd. Kitty! probably would have continued stomping on the lifeless object for eternity had Yoshida not come flying in with a springboard dropkick that caught the challenger right in the back of the head. As you can tell, there was no attempt to start this match slowly, and the traditional matwork and feeling-out process was discarded in favour of a fast pace from the very start. Whereas Yoshida's first defence, against Tate Monroe, was full of psychology, there was very little of it tonight, as both wrestlers put on a high-flying, hard-hitting spotfest. There were too many awesome moments to list, but a few of them included: Yoshida going up top, only to have Kitty! push him down onto the apron, so Yoshida instead hit a springboard huracanrana; Kitty! hitting a double footstomp to the gut from the top rope; Yoshida hitting a beautiful Asai moonsault; Kitty! countering a brainbuster by hitting a lungblower; and Yoshida hitting a tornado DDT off the apron to the floor! Of course, Yoshida kept the fans entertained with his usual antics, grinning and blowing gum bubbles, and at one point standing on the prone Kitty! and clapping loudly. Two nights ago these two wrestlers were tagteam partners, and in that match Yoshida debuted a new move - the crotch claw slam. He tried it again tonight, this time on Kitty!, but to the amazement of everyone... Kitty! no-sold it! Not only is he heartless, but apparently... well, you get the picture! There wasn't much comedy in this match, but one funny moment happened when Yoshida regained possession of the Hello Kitty! t-shirt, and slipped it onto one of the ring attendants (ie dojo rookies), then pushed the rookie into the ring. Of course, Kitty! went ballistic again, attacking the rookie while Yoshida pulled up a chair at ringside, enjoying the show! Kitty!'s focus became solely on the t-shirt, and he hit the rookie with a series of hard moves, finishing him off with the Cat Nap, and covering. The fans laughed as Uncle Dai refused to make the count, explaining to Kitty! what was going on. Even more enraged, Kitty! tore the shirt off the rookie and then ripped it to pieces, before being hit by Yoshida's awesome multiple-revolution corbata. The closing few minutes of the match started when Yoshida hit Kitty! with a sweet enzuigiri, then nailed him with a powerbomb for 2 1/2. Both wrestlers were slow to their feet. Yoshida climbed to the top, but Kitty! caught him and brought him down with a big superplex! Both wrestlers up, and Yoshida went for a tired kick, but Kitty! evaded it and then hit the Cat Nap (Final Cut), for 2 1/2! Kitty! launched into a series of kicks, finishing off with a triangle corner enzuigiri, getting 2 3/4, the fans cheering and stomping their feet because that was too close! Kitty! went for the gold, hitting the DK Suplex (half tiger, half leg-clutch suplex), but Yoshida kicked out at 2 7/8! The crowd was in disbelief, and Kitty! began arguing with the referee. Yoshida was almost out on his feet, but reversed a whip into the ropes and hit a big superkick, before lifting Kitty! and dropping him with a tombstone piledriver, for 2 1/2, the fans again cheering and stomping their feet at this show of fighting spirit! Yoshida lariated Kitty! down, then went up top and hit the US*AG~ISM (corkscrew moonsault), covering for the 3-count! Post-match, Griffin James climbed into the ring to congratulate his friend, who had a big grin on his face, the gold belt firmly reattached around his waist. Panda tended to Kitty!, helping him to his feet. The fans fell silent as Kitty! and Yoshida came face-to-face. Yoshida nodded and began offering friendly words to Kitty!, who simply stood silent. Yoshida held out a hand of friendship, but before we could find out if Kitty! would accept, the crowd began to roar. Five figures came strolling down the aisle, one of them waving a large black flag bearing the Pro Wrestling MEGA flag and all wearing black MEGA t-shirts. MEGA owner Wataru Yasuda led the charge as they stormed the ring and began to attack the Dream Fujin wrestlers! A huge brawl erupted - Yoshida, James, Panda and Kitty! on one side and Yasuda, HERO Ishikawa, Takahiro Uei, Hideki Shimoda and Wasai Thrillblade on the other. The Dream Fujin wrestlers held their own for a few seconds, but then the numbers overwhelmed them. Panda was sent from the ring, before Yasuda and Uei nailed James with a low blow-DDT combo, Thrillblade and Shimoda nailed Kitty! with a 3D-type move, and HERO hit a big piledriver on Yoshida! The fans were booing and screaming in protest, especially when HERO removed the Independent Super-Lightweight belt from Yoshida's waist and hoisted it skyward! At that point a mass of ring attendant rookies stormed the ring, along with a handful of Dream Fujin wrestlers - Miura, Apollo Kid III, Shonjo and CBC among them - who came running from the back. The MEGA wrestlers took a powder and fled the ring, jumping the railing and standing in the ring as James, Kitty! and Yoshida were assisted in the ring. Billy Thomas finally made his way out, climbing into the ring and calling for a microphone. Thomas was furious, calling Yasuda a "goddamned piece of shit" in English, then reverting to Japanese to throw out a challenge to the MEGA wrestlers. He said if Yasuda and his boys were man enough, three of them would turn up back here in Hakodate tomorrow night. But instead of sneaking into the building and attacking like a pack of hyenas, they would walk into the building like real men and step into the ring, Thomas said, before declaring that if they accepted the challenge, three MEGA wrestlers would face the team of Usagi Yoshida, Griffin James and Darkness Kitty!. The fans, realising that this was a sixman dream team, just about lifted the roof off the building when they heard that. Yasuda was grinning, and said he wouldn't give Thomas an answer - he would have to wait until tomorrow night to see what happens. Overall comments: The tour seemed to be in a holding pattern after last night's show, but boy did it pick up pace tonight. All of the undercard matches were above average, which you can't always say about Dream Fujin shows. Things really gained momentum with the trios match, which had plenty of interest due to the debuts of Ty Walker and Elvis Sunday, plus the added intrigue of seeing James, Monroe and Miura as a makeshift team. But what really made this show a winner was the main event and its ensuing Pro Wrestling MEGA "invasion". Yoshida and Kitty! showed why they _have_ to be considered among the top 5 junior-heavyweights in the world, putting on a match that was entertaining and drama-filled at the same time. Kitty! didn't come away with the gold, but this isn't the last time we'll be seeing him challenge for the Independent Super-Lightweight title. Wataru Yasuda made it clear at the end of the last tour that he and his Pro Wrestling MEGA army would be invading Dream Fujin sometime soon, and he followed through with the threat tonight. Now the battle lines have been drawn. A bunch of questions remain. Will Yasuda and company show up tomorrow night and accept the challenge for a trios match? Can the team of Yoshida, James and Kitty! combine to see off the MEGA threat? And most importantly, is Darkness Kitty! truly dedicated to the cause of Fujingun? He has never shown an allegiance to the regular army before, and if his commitment to Fujingun can't be relied on, things could get very messy for Dream Fujin very quickly. So many questions - hopefully they'll all be answered tomorrow night! © Dream Fujin, 2006.
