[freeview] Match One Dojo of Dragons Six Man Tag Match
Akira Marufuji, Masayuki Asami, Naoki Ojima
vs.
Daisuke Chono, Kimihiko Umino, Yujiro Mikami The Dojo of Dragons is back for another year and it's exciting to see some of the brightest and future talents of Japanese wrestling in motion. This match is flooded with talent that have been in the Dojo of Dragons for a number of years, soon to be graduates but not quite there yet as they're still learning to hone their skills and better themselves. The most experienced out of the bunch is undoubtedly Naoki Ojima, who gets a good ovation when he comes out for his entrance. They all have separate entrances to mark this special occasion. Akira Marufuji starts off in the ring with Chono, with both men showing great determination as they lock each other in holds and find quick and silky ways to get out of them too. It's a start that show's their progression in the technicality of professional wrestling, as they move from a variety of holds before Akira lands a dropkick on Chono to set the match in his teams favor. He makes the tag to Asami and Asami gets to work on Chono, brutal strikes and chops and he brings him to the ropes, with Asami taking him down with a flying forearm. He executes it excellently and makes the tag to Kimihiko. But they time he's made the tag, Asami is back up on his feet and the two engage in a battle of fists, illegal ones, that see's the referee getting between the two men to separate them. Umino throws his left arm up to distract Asami before popping him right a right hand to the jaw. Asami makes the tag to Ojima who gets a good reception and Mikama gets tagged in too. Both men work well with each other and compliment each other's styles, with Ojima flying high whilst Mikami is more of a powerhouse. Outside the ring the other teams have engaged in a war too, unaware that inside the ring, Ojima has Mikami in his signature deathlock, that forces Mikami to tap out. Winners: Akira Marufuji, Maysayuki Asami, Naoki Ojima Time: 07:21
[freeview] Match Two Dojo of Dragons Singles Match
Ryushi Takayama vs. Atsushi Nishimura
198lbs WEIGHT 204lbs 5'11 HEIGHT 6'0
19 AGE 21 Tokyo HOMETOWN Tokyo Both of these competitors have trained together in the dojo for over a year now and to be given such an opportunity to be in a singles match in the Tokyo Dome is one that they'll cherish and never forget. Both men come out to a reasonable reaction from the crowd's, who aren't too familiar with their in ring work individually but they've seen them compete in multi-man tag matches. The match starts off as you can expect, both men showing each other respect as they jockey in position and try to get the upperhand. Takayama is quick and smaller, the graduate of the Dojo quickly springing off the ropes and knocking down Nishimura to the canvas. Takayama is the type of wrestler you can tell that with a little character change, he could be a star. He has this look about it that screams a million dollars despite only being nineteen years of age. He's confident as he manages to move Nishimura around the ring and works him well. Nishimura on the other hand, he's someone that you're not quite sure about, in the sense of he's a little more reserved. Perhaps it's the fear of the occasion, but he gradually gets a grip of the occasion and works his way into the match, showing a good variety of moves as he manages to connect with a superkick, followed by a quick roundhouse combination, but only for the two count. The action doesn't leave the ring and both men do a good job of keeping the fans entertained, with a battle of strikes that culminate with Takayama following through with a lariat, but Nishmura manages to duck and as Takayama stumbles away, Nishimura heads to the ropes and on his return he greets Takayama with a spear that sends Takayama down to the canvas. Nishimura hooks the legs of Takayama but only manages to get the two count. The fans continue to stay impressed, particularly toward the end of the match when these two enter their final sequence, they compliment each other with a series of reversals and quick roll ups, before Takayama manages to spiral himself round and a land a spinning enziguri to the back of the head. He covers and gets the win, his first win the see's him become an official member of the New Japan Fighting Championship roster. Of course, Takayama will have to continue training in the Dojo, but there is a future with Takayama for certain as James Peterson greets him with a contract after the match. Winner: Ryushi Takayama Time: 09:35 |

Match Three [freeview]
Glory Cup
Gauntlet Match
Participating: Jack Tillman, Hiroyoshi Suzuki, Yuji Misawa
(more to be confirmed) Yuji Misawa beats Anoki Saitama in 06:32
A popular favorite, the 'Strong Heart' Yuji came out to a standing ovation in the Tokyo Dome after several months away from wrestling. Despite being away from the ring, he hadn't missed a step. Anoki was stunned to find out that Misawa was quicker than he'd ever been with the heavyweight showing great pace and tenacity in the early stages of the match. It was a match that he controlled and managed to win pretty quickly too with his coveted bicycle superkick doing the trick to wrap it all up. Yuji Misawa beats Shiro Ibushi in 12:39
Next up was Shiro Ibushi who we lat saw at Pride of Puroresu. Ibushi was definitely a harder task to overcome compared to Anoki, keeping Misawa grounded and using his mount and pound strength to his advantage. Both of these men graduated from the Dojo of Dragons around the same time so it was nice to see them back in the ring with one another. But Misawa was able to overcome Ibushi with another bicycle superkick, that knocked the sense out of Ibushi at around 12 and a half minutes. Yuji Misawa beats Hiroyoshi Suzuki in 20:02
The Master of Perfection made his way down to the ring afterwards with a warm reception from the crowd. This one a close one that had many of the fans believing that Misawa was going out by the end of it. Suzuki was fresh, faster and coming off the ropes with an aggressiveness about him. But Misawa stole the victory with a cheeky roll up that stunned Suzuki and saw him walking up the entrance way. Jack Tillman beats Yuji Misawa in 31:07
The Strong Heart said that he had a feeling this was going to be the one that decided it all. And it was. These two came flying out the blocks with hard hits and quick reversals but Tillman was of course fresher, showing a new style that he has honed over the last few years and surprising Misawa as well as the fans. Misawa did manage to fight his way back into the match but his body was pretty beat and that would be his downfall, as he had no response for the Ballroom Blitz that Tillman planted on him to get the win and win the cup, booking himself a World Heavyweight title match in March! |

Match Four
Return of the Raab
Singles Match
Konrad Raab vs. Takashi Shinobu Both men come out to a great ovation from the fans with the latter, Shinobu, receiving thunderous applause upon his return from excursion. Though agreeing to sign an extension with Red State Revolver, Shinobu still remains a regular talent with New Japan Fighting Championship. Both men shake each other's hands in a mark of respect before the bell rings. It's Takashi Shinobu who dominates the early portion of the match, using his speed and striking ability to stun Raab into defense mode, cornering him by the padded corner. Shinobu fakes a strike and gently pats him on the chest, showing off this new found confidence he's gained from his months abroad with Red State Revolver. Applause follows as he walks back to the center of the ring and the two men find themselves circling for a few seconds. Raab has cut down a lot of weight since we last saw him, a testament to his dedication of being considered a junior heavyweight with the CWC Breakout Tournament only a week away. He's able to pull off a couple of silky drop kicks on Shinobu, each move applied with a swiftness about it that we haven't seen before. If there's something you should know about Raab, it's that he's versatile and able to adapt to any given situation.
Raab does well to keep Shinobu on the ground with a variety of holds and mat ground techniques he's picked up over the last couple of months, the fans are impressed to and applaud him when he's able to constantly reverse any attempt Shinobu makes to break free by keeping him on the mat and agitated. Shinobu does manage to break free but it isn't the cleanest of techniques, but one that works in his favor. He pokes the big man in the eye and get's a couple of boo's for it, but it's necessary that he does it to escape his grasp. He's then able to deliver backhand chops to Raab and brings him to the padded corner, a series of shoot kicks that culminates with Shinobu springboarding off of the ropes and landing a single leg dropkick on Raab for the nearfall. Raab rolls to the outside and Shinobu flies over the top rope, landing on Raab and exciting the crowd.
You can't help but think there's a devastating difference from when we last saw Shinobu. He knows who he is now and he's not afraid to show it. He poses on the outside before going back to work on Raab. He throws him into the ring post before running at him at full pace, looking for a hurricanrana but Raab catches him, powerbomb onto the apron! Shinobu falls and lands on the mat outside, arching his back. Raab then picks him up and rolls him into the ring and climbs to the top rope. Once Shinobu is up, Raab finds himself flying off of the top rope and catching Shinobu off guard with a spinning uppercut but to no avail as Shinobu kicks out. The two men exchange strikes as they fight their way up to their feet with Shinobu connecting with a hard roundhouse kick that almost sends Raab down and out. Shinbou takes off to the ropes, springboard off of them but Raab catches him in a rear waist lock before propelling him backwards for the German into a bridge. But Shinobu kicks out once again!
Restless, Raab brings Shinobu back up to his feet and looks for the vertical but Shinobu uses his knee's to fight his way down. He connects with an open palm strike combination before nailing him with a spinning back kick, he then launches himself into the ropes with a handspring into them, coming back and delivering a cutter to Raab and hooking the legs. But no! Raab kicks out just when you think Shinobu has got him. Shinobu buries his head in his hands and sighs, using the energy of the crowd to find his way back up to his feet. He positions himself in the corner of the ring, calling for Raab to rise to his feet and he eventually does, Shinobu runs at him but Raab grabs him by the throat, picks him up and slams him down with in a powebomb - the Iceinator connecting! Raab then swivels the body of Shinobu around and locks him in his signature ankle lock with Shinobu having no choice but to tap out! Raab picks up the victory, but it seems like it's a victory for both of them as they rise to their feet, with Raab holding up the arm of Shinobu.Winner: Konrad Raab |

Match Five
Special Attraction: First Time Ever
Singles Match
Cosmo Cooper vs. Dom Harter Brien Storm: A lot of people have been calling this one a dream match. I probably wouldn't go that far but yeah, I guess you could say that it's rare to see cause these two are on opposite spectrums. Cosmo Cooper, a representative of the Championship Wrestling Coalition and undoubtedly, the man - bar myself - who's put that place on the map. Then you've got Dom Harter. You know the name, you know the face and you know that this guy has cemented his name in the history books. Championship win after championship win, a list of opponents he has beaten that back up his credibility, a hall of famer over in Frontier Grappling Arts. Wes Futhais: You just pretty much summed up a dream match but you said it wasn't?
Brien Storm: It doesn't exactly make me wanna leap out of my seat with joy, Wes.Wes Futhais: Yeah but does anything?!
“Lifted” by CL hits as the crowd pops. As the song picks up, Cosmo Cooper walks out with a cocky smile on his face, wearing his flat bill hat and a t-shirt. He looks around to either side of the stage and then drops down to one knee with his arms out as he soaks in the cheers before nodding his head to the beat and standing up, walking down the ramp and slapping hands. Mai Kado: (Making his way to the ring, from Santa Rosa, California. Weighing in at 225 pounds… He is….COSMOOOOOOOOOOO COOOOOOPPPPPPERRRRR!)Cosmo pauses on the ring steps where he slips off his shoes and then tosses his t-shirt and flat bill into the front row before he hops into the ring over the top rope and then does a small sideways trot around the ring before he stops in his corner and leans in it to wait on the bell to sound. Brien Storm: What do you think of mister Cooper, Wes?Wes Futhais: He's a cool guy man. If there's one thing I can say about him it's that he's extremely cool. He's got this, I don't care attitude about him, and I resonate with that. Reminds me of myself. I think we're pretty much the same person when it comes to that. I mean look at us, we look like we could be twins too. Brien Storm: ... I was talking about he's in ring ability... what do you think of him?Wes Futhais: I'll be honest Brien... I have never watched a Cosmo Cooper match. I THINK YOU’VE GOT A LOW SELF OPINION MAN
I SEE YOU STANDING ALL BY YOURSELF The opening chords of “Low Self Opinion” begin to play throughout the arena as the crowd really, really begin to boo. After ten seconds or so, Dom Harter steps out from behind the curtain, and the boos louden! The Tenacious Little Bastard throws his arms out to either side; he pulls the bandana down from over his face to reveal the ever familiar crooked grin plastered on his face as he begins to stride down the aisle, soaking in the reaction that are coming from the fans. Harter climbs up the ring steps and climbs in through the middle rope; once inside the squared circle, Harter climbs up to the middle rope, posing for the fans as he waits for the match to start. Mai Kado: Ladies and gentlemen, hailing from Cambridge, Ontario, Canada, weighing in at 230 pounds ... He is 'The Tenacious Little Bastard' DOM HARTER!Dom and Cosmo glare at one another from opposite sides of the ring. Wes Futhais: Predictions, Bri?
Brien Storm: I actually don't know. I feel like this is too close to call. DING DING DING! Once the bell rings the two competitors stay glued to their positions. Cosmo has already garnered a following from his travels to Japan over the past few months, so there is no surprise that most of the fans are on his side on this occasion. Harter leans back against the ropes and looks left and right, watching the crowd begin a chant of 'COSMO' that begins to build louder and louder. It doesn't get to the veteran though, who chuckles and applauds Cosmo, who's hopping on the spot - nodding his head at Harter. The two men begin to circle the ring with Cosmo a lot faster than Harter who's careful with his steps, perhaps analyzing the well rounded trailblazer that is, Cosmo Cooper. Before even engaging in any strikes Harter proposes that the two men shake hands. Cosmo looks at him before looking at the crowd, searching for answers and they're encouraging him to do it. Harter has this look on his face, the kind of look that makes you question his motive, perhaps a facade to trick Cosmo. Cosmo hesitates before lunging forward and agreeing to shake his hand, with the fans applauding both men afterwards as they step back and begin to circle the ring. They come together in the center of the ring with a standard collar to elbow tie up with Dom managing to win the engagement, pushing Cosmo back into the ropes. The referee counts down but Harter immediately breaks clean, holding his arms up and looking as if he's about to turn away, before cheekily delivering a knife edge chop to the chest of Cosmo. It's a harsh and menacing strike but Cosmo does well to show no sign of pain, nodding his head in an appreciative way, that confuses Dom. Cosmo then invites Dom to deliver another chop. Dom looks around before turning back at Cosmo. He delivers another knife edge chop that is harder than the last and creates a bigger impact in terms of echoing through the arena. Cosmo's chest may have just turned red but he's smiling, for some sick reason - he's enjoying this! Cosmo pushes Dom back into the center of the ring and asks "is that all you've got". Dom looks offended, biting his lip as Cosmo invites him for a third knife edge chop to the chest. Dom even takes a run up this time, an enormous chop to the chest connecting with Cosmo flying back into the ropes. He comes off of them, to the surprise of Dom who has to duck under a lariat attempt, Cosmo then locks him in a rear waist lock. Dom steps on his foot and forces Cosmo to break the hold before running into the ropes, bouncing off of them and lookings for a yakuza kick! Cosmo dodges, turns Dom around and delivers one heck of a knife edge chop to the chest, that near enough discredits all of Dom's chops. The Tenacious Little Bastard clutches onto his chest as he stumbles backwards. Cosmo greets him with another knife edge chop, and another before Irish whipping him to the ropes. Dom bounces off of them and Cosmo runs at him delivering a forearm smash that knocks Dom to the canvas. Dom crawls his way to the corner and uses the ropes to help himself up onto his feet. He looks at Cosmo and the two share a glare, the audience applauding both men for their strong opening in this dream match. Brien Storm: Get a load of those knife edge chops to the chest. But of these guys throwing everything they have at each other early on. Wes Futhais: Yeah, I'm definitely a Cosmo Cooper wrestling fan now, that's for sure.Gradually, both men approach the center of the ring and return to a collar to elbow lock up. Cosmo gets the best of Dom, locking him in a side headlock and squeezing onto his head. Dom latches onto the arm of Cosmo and is able to use his strength to break the hold, wrenching the wrist of Cosmo round before pulling down on it. Cosmo rolls forwards, then back before kipping himself up, twirling around and reversing the move. Dom grabs the ropes, flips himself forward, breaks the hold and delivers a headbutt that sends Cosmo backwards holding onto his head. Dom grabs him to deliver a forearm smash and then grabs his finger. He looks at the crowd, a sickening grin on his face as he pulls on the finger and Cosmo winces, falling to a knee in agony at his finger snapping backwards. Dom laughs as he breaks away from Cosmo and walks around the ring, allowing Cosmo to recuperate, something rare from Dom. Normally, he's tenacious, relentless and always on the attack but not on this occasion. There's a respect between these two men from different worlds. Cosmo rises to his feet and the two men find themselves circling the ring again. They approach the center and this time Dom knees him in the gut, bringing him to the corner where he delivers several forearm smashes. He Irish whips him to the opposite corner before following Cosmo, once Cosmo hit the corner Dom greets him with a yakuza that could've easily knocked a kid's head off. He then runs to the ropes whilst Cosmo stumbles out of the corner, Dom hits the ropes and to his surprise, Cosmo lunges at him, wrapping his arms around him and delivering an overhead belly to belly suplex! Dom rolls to the outside of the ring immediately after, arching his back as he rolls around the outside. Brien Storm: Cosmo with a belly to belly suplex that sends Dom flying and he's rolled to the outside. I've got to say, these two are showing a lot of respect to one another but I'm just waiting for it to go tits up to be honest. Like, you can't respect each other that much, can you? Especially when you're facing each other. Wes Futhais: Did Trump respect Hillary?Brien Storm: What relevance does that have to the action, Wes?Wes Futhais: I'm sorry this is my first gig, I'm getting jitters man.
The Leader of The New Murder finds himself resting against the railing when Cosmo finds him, grabbing him by the back of his head as he looks to lead him back to the ring. Dom strikes him in the mid section, looking to break the hold that Cosmo has on him but Cosmo isn't budging. He rolls Dom into the ring before leaping onto the apron and entering himself. Dom is on his knees and Cosmo looks at the fans before looking back at Dom, running his fingers through his hair as he nods his head and smiles. Dom knows what's coming next but there isn't enough time to move now. Cosmo delivers strike, after strike, after strike to the chest of Dom using his legs. Dom's chest now transforming to the color of red. Cosmo then turns and takes off to the ropes, Dom gets to his feet and as Cosmo bounces off of the ropes, he lifts him into the air before slamming him down to the canvas with a spinebuster into a sitout position. ONE
TWOA shoulder up from Cosmo! Dom swears that he counted three, holding up three fingers to the referee who refuses. Baffled, Dom gets back to work by bringing Cosmo over to the corner. It's here where he begins a series of shoulder thrusts into the midsection of Cosmo Cooper. Cosmo falls into a seated position and Dom uses his foot and scrapes it against the face of Cosmo! The respect that they have for one another, now all gone from just one move delivered by Dom, who's getting heat from the crowd as he laughs on his way back to the center of the ring. He flexes to the crowd, which only gets him more heat but he loves it, basking in it before turning his attention back on Cosmo. He heads over to him, kicking him whilst he's down and asking " are you dead?". He says it over and over again, continuing to kick him but he's doing it with a purpose, he wants a reaction out of Cosmo. And a reaction is what he's about to get. You can see that Cosmo is getting more and more infuriated with every kick that Dom delivers, with every question that he poses, with every chuckle that he allows out of his mouth. Cosmo is now back up on his feet and head to head with Dom. The two men use their heads to push each other backwards. Cosmo delivers a stiff forearm strike. Dom returns. Cosmo replies, but Dom hits harder. Dom always, hits harder. Cosmo is shaken by the stiff forearms of Dom, who then taps his forearm and looks for a lariat but Cosmo ducks under it. Cosmo takes off to the ropes, bounces off of them and takes Dom down with a Bicycle Knee that may have just given Dom Harter a concussion! It's a reckless move that he executes superbly. Brien Storm: I wouldn't want to be at the end of one of those. Dom looks like he's about to pass out after that Bicycle Knee. Wes Futhais: And with good reason, that was a sickening blow by Cosmo Cooper!Getting to his feet, Cosmo doesn't take a moment to even appreciate the fans applause, he covers him. ... ONE
... SHOULDER UP!Dom crawls his way to the ropes, latching onto them as he helps himself back up onto his feet. Cosmo runs his fingers through his hair as he approaches Dom, grabbing him by his head and forcing it down, delivering knee's to the head of Dom. The referee counts Cosmo down but he eventually releases Dom and backs away holding his arms up. He wipes the sweat from his face before going back toward Dom who reacts with a kick to the gut and a snap DDT in quick succession. Dom sits up and smiles, knowing where the camera is and turning toward it, allowing a smirk to cement on his face. He has the type of face you want to knock out and it's no secret that everyone in the arena right now what's to knock this guy out. Dom grabs Cosmo by his arm and holds it, using his foot to drive into the head of the downed Cosmo Cooper, who's trying to find the best position from the ground. Cosmo is on his knee's, holding onto the back of his head after Dom connected with a kick directed there. Dom continues to kick Cosmo but now only the side of his head, reverting back to the question of: are you dead whilst doing so. There's an anger building inside of Cosmo Cooper that he can't conceal. Dom's kicks get harder and harder as Cosmo gets to his feet eventually. Dom stops with the kicks and grins at Cosmo. Cosmo slaps his free hand onto the arm of Dom to break the hold before turning him around, hooking a leg and managing to lift him up for a belly to back leg hook suplex, which he bridges into a pin!
... ONE
... .... TWOBrien Storm: Only the two count after that impressive belly to back leg suplex. Wes Futhais: I thought he had him Bri, but Dom refusing to lose this one early on. Dom is by the corner. Cosmo rushes towards him, Dom side steps before taking a few steps forwards, turning and running toward Cosmo. Cosmo with a drop toe hold that sends the head of Dom into the padded corner. Cosmo rushes to the opposite corner, knee's it, before sprinting back toward Dom and delivering a knee to the back of his head! Crumbling down goes Dom but he's head is still resting against the corner. Cosmo gets up, runs to the opposite corner once again and delivers another knee to the back of the head of Dom! He picks him up and leans him against the corner before rushing to the opposite ropes once again, unaware that Dom has had a resurgence of life and is following him! Cosmo hits the corner and Dom hits him with a yakuza kick to the head! Dom drags him out of the corner and over to the center of the ring where he looks to connect with his signature Fisherman's Buster but Cosmo slips down behind. Dom turns around and Cosmo then delivers a combination of open palm strikes that culminate with a spinning back kick to the gut! Dom doubles over and as he does Cosmo heads to the ropes, springboard off the second rope and delivers a knee to Dom! Brien Storm: And a springboard knee to send Harter down!Wes Futhais: Are you seriously going to ignore that combination by Cosmo Cooper? I mean sure that knee was impressive but can we get another look at that combo work from Cooper, because damn it was one move after the other, and then another. I felt like I was in the Matrix. Are we in the Matrix right now?Brien Storm: No. No we're not, Wes.REPLAY BOARD
 Cosmo hooks the legs! ... ONE
... ... TWO
... ... ... NOOOOOO!Gasps and applause ring through the arena as Dom Harter manages to kick out. Cosmo punches the canvas but remains smiling.
'COS-MO, COS-MO, COS-MO'
'COS-MO, COS-MO, COS-MO'
'COS-MO, COS-MO, COS-MO' Cooper rises to his feet and feeds off the energy of the crowd, looking like a mad man on steroids (evidently not though), he goes over to the padded corner and punches it before turning around, waiting for Dom to get back up to his feet. Dom gradually gets up and Cosmo sprints at him, looking for a rolling elbow but Dom ducks, grabs him by one leg and takes him down, before locking him in a single boston crab submission hold! Cosmo wails as he tries to make it to the ropes but Dom does everything in his power to keep the big man grounded, pulling back on the leg and shutting his eyes, emphasizing the amount of pressure he's applying as he wails too. Cooper scoots over as much as he can but doesn't seem to be getting any closer, Dom dragging him back to the center of the ring near enough every time. On his fourth attempt to reach the ropes, Cosmo gets to them and latches onto the bottom rope - managing to turn himself round and with his free leg he kicks Dom off of him. Dom stumbles back whilst Cosmo gets to his feet. Dom runs at Cosmo, Cosmo dodges the strike attempt - rear waist lock - release German suplex to Dom Harter! Harter lands hard on his back but Cosmo isn't done yet, he's back up on his feet and running toward the ropes, bouncing off of them and performing a senton on Harter! Getting to his feet, Cooper grits his teeth and soaks in the adulation from the crowd. He heads over to Dom and wraps his arms around his gut, he manages to deadlift him up into position before slamming him down with a Gutwrench Suplex! But he isn't done yet. He's arms are still around Dom! Dom shakes his head, not prepared for what's about to come next as Cooper gets up and deadlifts him again, dropping him down to the canvas with another Gutwrench Suplex! But no. He isn't done yet! Cooper uses all of his strengths to get back up with his grip still intact. Dom is motionless, picked up like a rag-doll before being slammed once again to the canvas with another Gutwrench Suplex! Cooper goes for the pin! ... ONE
... ... TWO
... ... ... NOOOOOOO!!!REPLAY BOARD Brien Storm: Wow. Just, wow. Wes Futhais: Cosmo Cooper just went SUPER SAIYAN ON DOM HARTER!The noise in the Tokyo Dome begins to pick up, the fans showing their admiration for the efforts shown by both competitors out here tonight. Cooper buries his head in his hands, a win just moments away but somehow, someway Dom managed to kick out! Both men are in a bad way after that particular sequence and they both struggle to make it back up to their feet. Cooper is the first man up, with Dom crawling towards the ropes, Cooper stops him by grabbing him around the waist and deaflifting him up, looking to release him with a German! He goes for it but Dom manages to land on his feet. Cosmo turns around and Dom charges at him, looking for his signature lariat but Cosmo ducks underneath - heads to the ropes and springboards off the second, turning his way round and toward Dom who catches him with a forearm to the jaw! Wes Futhais: No fucking way! Did you see that Brien! Holy cow!
Brien Storm: Yes Wes, I'm sitting right next to you. But you're right, what a forearm strike but Dom Harter, who's only proving the point that Harter Hits Harder here tonight, Cosmo has no idea what just hit him.
REPLAY BOARD The fans are in pure and utter disbelief over that strike from Dom who's picking up Cosmo and flinging him towards the ropes. Cosmo comes back and Dom pops him up into the air before slamming him down onto the canvas with his signature pop-up powerbomb, landing in a seated position and pinning him onto the canvas! ... ONE
... ... TWO
... ... ... NOOOO!Brien Storm: How on earth? How did Cosmo Cooper kick out of that one?! Wes Futhais: We're on our way to a classic Brien! I told you, this is a dream!The two men begin an exchange of strikes from a kneeling position gradually working back up onto their feet. The pattern of strikes suddenly goes out of the window and now all of a sudden, strikes are coming from everywhere and being aimed at every direction. The fans applaud as both men show no signs of letting up. Dom connects with a stiff forearm that sends Cosmo back into the ropes, Cosmo bounces off and looks for a Bicycle Knee but Dom side steps and heads to the ropes himself. Dom bounces off of them and watches Cosmo run past, Cosmo bounces off of the ropes and is able to hit Dom with the bicycle knee on this occasion. Dom staggers back, doing well to remain on his feet and uses the ropes to build some momentum, springing off of them and springing to life as he charges at Cosmo, who ducks underneath his arm. Cosmo has him, rear waist lock, and tries to lift him up and over for the German! It comes off, with Dom landing hard on the mat and arching onto his back. Cosmo rises to his feet rather quickly as Dom moves his way to the corner. Cosmo storms at him and connects with an uppercut, Dom staggers out and Cosmo comes off of the ropes, spinning wheel kick connecting! The noise in the arena is reaching it's optimum and Cosmo is feeding off the energy like he has been doing all night. He runs his fingers through his hair before dropping down to his knees, spreading his arms out wide and tossing his head back! The fans raise the volume and Dom slowly gets to his feet. Cosmo scoops him up and into a tombstone piledriver position (the crater maker)! Dom leans backwards in position, managing to power himself down and reverse the move! He has him in the crater maker position, Cosmo's finishing move! Cosmo manages to use his leg to kick the head of Dom, who let's go of him and stumbles back holding onto the side of his head. Cosmo runs over to him looking for a running forearm smash but Dom rolls out of the corner, forcing Cosmo to eat the padded corner. Cosmo turns around - LARRRRIATTTOOOOOOOOO!
 You can hear the Japanese announce team go absolutely crazy as Dom hits the lariat out of nowhere. Dom rises to his feet and pats his forearms. He brings Cosmo back up, holding onto his arm and dropping him with a short arm clothesline! Cosmo flips inside out! That short arm clothesline performed with precision! Dom hasn't let go of his arm and he brings him back up to his feet and now transitions into a wrist lock, dragging him in before spinning him out, looking for his Mors Proditoris (short arm lariat) finisher! As Cosmo spins out, Dom goes for the lariat, Cosmo falls to his knees and Dom misses completely, falling forward. Cosmo gets up and turns Dom around, scooping him into his crater maker finishing move! He jumps, and drops him on his head! Brien: CRATTTEEEERRRRR MAAAAAAKKKEERRRRRRR!REPLAY BOARD Cosmo crawls...
Closer and closer...
Drapes an arm over the chest of Dom!
... ONE!
.... .... TWO
... ... ... THRRRRRRREEEEEE!DING DING DING! Mai Kado: (The winner of the match... COSSSMOO COOPERRR!)The bell rings and the theme song of Cosmo Cooper begins to play through the arena. The fans applaud Cosmo as he slowly rises to his feet, triumphant over the veteran Dom Harter after a match that wasn't short on surprises. Dom also gets to his feet, using the ropes to help himself up the two share a glare. Dom approaches Cosmo and proposes a handshake. Cooper looks around the arena, unsure whether to trust Dom after the grueling match they just had. But he accepts it and Dom lifts his arm up in victory, pointing at Cooper and nodding his head in a rare acceptance. |

Match Six
NJFC World Tag Team Championships
Tag Team Match
dPEEG (Jason Cashe & Tommy Knox) (c)
vs.
Shootcamp (Ace Watson & Owen Gonsalves) Mai Kado: (The following contest is for the New Japan Fighting Championship World Tag Team Championships and it is scheduled for a one fall!) The marching beat in the intro plays throughout the arena as immediately the crowd in attendance clap along to the beat, the front row smack the guardrail along to the beat as well. As soon as the song kicks in at about 15 seconds, Ace Watson and "Indestructible" Owen Gonsalves burst out from behind the curtain. Both men immediately go to opposite ends of the stage and engage with the crowd, hyped for their upcoming match. "I'M NOT FUCKING AROUND" Mai Kado: (Introducing first, the challengers... representing Frontier Grapplin' Arts & the current KAMIKAZE Pro Wrestling World Tag Team Champions... SHOOTCAMP!)The hype behind the chanting of the first lyric in the song connects with Shootcamp as they shake hands like true gentlemen before making their way down to the ring, singing along with the song. They both climb onto the apron before bursting up onto the turnbuckles to another ovation from the crowd before the hop into the ring. They meet in the middle as Owen falls into a cross legged seated position and does a gun gesture with his hand as Ace stands behind him and does a shotgun gesture. The song fades out as they move to a corner to discuss their match tactics. Brien Storm: These gentlemen are global sensations. Look at what they've done over the last couple of months. They've managed to become one of the best tag teams working in the industry today and if any team deserves this opportunity tonight, it's these two. To be honest, if there's any team that can stop Jason Cashe and Knox, it's these two. Wes Futhais: Haven't dPEEg had like a two year reign or something? I think I read that online. Brien Storm: You think? Jesus Wes, have you done any research on tonight's matches?Wes Futhais: I'll be honest Bri, no.The lights quickly begin to dim until the entire arena is consumed with complete darkness. War drums begin to sound and “Poseidon” begins pounding throughout the building, played by none other than Bonten Wadaiko. The drums continue to echo for minutes until dark red lights illuminate the entrance way. Standing on both sides of the entrance, Samurais dressed in full armor line the aisle leading all the way down to the ring. They have swords in their hands as their arms are extended and held up, pointing the end of the sword to the one in front of them across the aisle. Wes Futhais: Isn't this a bit over the top? Brien Storm: We're in the Tokyo Dom, Wes. Nothings too extravagant. At three minutes and four seconds in, the drums cease and silence fills the arena. The intro to “I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You” by Leon Haywood then hits the speakers as the drums begin to play once more before a horn screams over the arena. The sound of the horn carries on for seconds before a record scratching effect plays over the speakers. “Nuthin’ But A G Thang” by Dr. Dre is mixed into the original track as Snoop Dogg’s voice is heard. ”One.
Two.
Three.
And to the four.
D - P - G and New Japan is at the door.” A spotlight then shines down onto the entrance way where Jason Cashe and Tommy Knox walk out side by side, both with their NJFC Tag Team Championship over their shoulders. Mai Kado: (Coming to the ring at this time at a combined weight of four hundred and sixty-six pounds! One half representing America, ‘The Troubled One’ Jason Cashe! And his partner, our very own native son, ‘The Japanese Highlife’ Tommy Knox!)Looking over the arena and the mixture of reactions received by those in attendance, they hold their championships with pride, waiting for their final introduction. Mai Kado: “They are the reigning New Japan Fighting Championship Tag Team Champions of the World… DEE-PEE-GEE!!!”Turning to one another with only a nod, they then proceed down the entrance aisle, walking underneath the Samurai swords held over their heads. Their wrestling attire is color coordinated with black as the base color and highlights of green and white trim. Cashe’s baggy shorts and Knox’s tights have matching “dPEEg’ lettering down the sides. The only thing that doesn’t match with their attires is the Japanese flag printed up one of the legs of Knox’s pants as if ripping through the first layer of black. Brien Storm: I'm getting goosebumps, man. DPEEG versus Shootcamp for the tag team titles at the Tokyo Dome.They reach the ring as Cashe jumps up to the apron, throwing the belt up into the air as he raises his arm over his head. He walks along the paron to the corner before climbing up it from the outside and raising the belt once more. On the outside, Knox tosses his championship into the ring before he turns to face the two rows of Samurais before placing his hands together and bowing to them. He then spins around and slides underneath the bottom rope into the ring. Cashe hops down from the corner as Knox rises to his feet, picking up his championship as he does. On opposite ends of the ring from one another, they walk the perimeter along the ropes before meeting in their corner. After handing the championships to the official, Cashe leans against the corner as Knox steps away from it. He extends his arms out to his sides, slowly turning in a circle to show off the fact that there isn’t any armor, they aren’t any bulletproof vests as a play to his recent video promotional. Cashe looks on, even laughing at the sight from the corner. Stopping in place, Knox then shrugs his shoulders before walking to the corner and slapping hands with Cashe as the two discuss a game plan before the opening bell. The two team size each other up in the middle of the ring. After all this talk on social media and at the press conference, they're finally standing in the same ring as each other and it's so surreal. There's an energy among the crowd that compliments all four men in the ring, who stop for a moment and look around the Tokyo Dome, appreciating this moment and taking it in as a whole. Owen and Ace unbuckle their KAMIKAZE Pro Wrestling tag titles from their waist and they hold it high above their heads, getting a warm reception from the crowd as they walk around the ring before coming back to the center. Knox and Cashe laugh with each other, before holding their titles above their heads and surprisingly also getting a couple of cheers, but there's a mixture of boo's. Whilst you may not like them, you have to appreciate their commitment to the promotion that has been up and down over the last two years, but they've stuck around, continued to hold onto those championship belts but now, this is their biggest challenge. Brien Storm: Shootcamp aren't a team thrown into the lions pit just so they can eat them up, no, they're a proven and accomplished tag team who I have no doubt can walk out of this arena tonight as the new tag team champions. Wes Futhais: It would be quite the sight, making them double champions in Japan, that would be something special. But Jason Cashe and Tommy Knox, they're something special too. They may not be as active as Shootcamp, but you just got to remind yourself of the Tag-Team-Tropolis event when they won those titles after going through a series of opponents. Brien Storm: Oh, so you have done some research? Wes Futhais: I'm not going to lie to you Bri, I found that all on the TL. DING DING DING! The bell rings and there's a buzz around the arena that really sums up how the night has been so far. Every match seems to be getting a bigger buzz and response from the crowd, but this one is special. This one means so much because both teams have not only promoted the hell out of the contest, but they've made it feel important. They've made it seem like a main event match and there's no doubt in the minds of the crowd that that's going what they should expect. Starting off in the ring is Ace Watson and Tommy Knox and both men are chatting to their tag team partners, probably talking strategy and how they can bash their opponents head in. Knox then makes his way to the middle of the ring and offers a handshake to Ace, who's still standing by Owen. Ace looks at Owen who shrugs his shoulders, cautiously looking at Tommy Knox who has a grin on his face. Knox says: "Come on man, it's tradition to do this before startin' the match, I know this!", of course Knox is referring to the NJFC code of conduct that isn't always obliged. Ace then heads over to him and stretches his hand out, with Knox throwing his hand up in the air in the last minute and bringing Ace toward him, a knee to the midsection that see's Watson double over. The fans jeer Knox as he clubs Watson around the back and brings him over to the padded corner, where he begins an onslaught of kicks to Watson, who's beginning to fall. Knox runs his fingers through his hair and takes a couple of steps backwards. Turning back around, he heads to Watson who latches onto the ropes, kips himself up and over the impending Tommy Knox. Watson rolls forwards and heads to the ropes, Knox turns and then follows him. Once Watson hits the ropes, Knox is already there and greets him with a European Uppercut. Knox then heads for the opposite ropes and Watson follows, with Knox hitting the ropes and Watson greeting him with an uppercut of his own. Watson heads to the ropes and Knox follows, once Watson comes off of them it's forearm smash from Knox. Knox then goes off, and Watson does the same, a forearm to Knox. Each run they make to the ropes is at a fast tempo and you start to question whether they're going to keep on doing this, and if so, how long before they tire out. Watson heads to the ropes, Knox doesn't follow, and when Watson comes off of the ropes, Knox slides under his strike attempt. He then drops him to the canvas with an Inverted DDT before running to the ropes again, coming off of them and looking for a senton, but he connects with just the canvas as Watson rolls out the way. Knox arches his back in a seated position, Watson comes off of the ropes and delivers a flying uppercut into Tommy Knox. Applause rings through the arena as Watson get's to his feet and brings Knox over to Owen Gonsalves, making the tag. Elbow by Ace, Shoot Kick to the chest by Owen, European Uppercut by Ace, Legsweep by Owen, Low Dropkick to the face by Ace, finished off with a Knee Drop to the face from Owen! Brien Storm: Impressive combination of moves there by Shootcamp, tag team wrestling at it's finest.Owen covers. ... ONEImmediately, a shoulder bursts up. Once again there's a round of applause from the crowd, who appreciate the quick and effective moves delivered by the shootcamp. Owen keeps Knox on the ground with a side headlock, doing well to tighten the hold and keep Knox from getting to his feet. Eventually, Knox manages to fight his way up and he brings Owen over to the ropes, managing to lift him off to the opposite set. When Owen returns Knox barges him down with his shoulder before taking off to the ropes, coming back and Owen springs to his feet, grabbing the arm of Knox and taking him down with an arm-drag. He locks him in an arm-bar immediately afterwards, though not long, as he gets to his feet and keeps Knox on the ground, bending his elbow awkwardly before stomping on it. He wipes his hands clean as he turns to face Cashe, nodding his head rather politely, which only infuriates Cashe. Owen smirks and turns to face the recovering Knox, he grabs his hand - and begins to bend his fingers backwards. Knox winces a little as Owen gets him down to a knee after a shoot kick connects to the back of the leg. Knox does find his way back up to his feet and pokes Owen in the eye with his other hand, using his thumb and Owen stumbles backwards, holding onto his eye. Knox runs at Owen, who somehow has managed to recover and drop toe holds him, before swiveling his body round and returning to a headlock. Owen shakes his head as he squints his eyes and says:
"Not happening, mate!" Knox finds his way back up to his feet with the headlock still intact. Knox manages to deadlift Owen up into the air before slamming him down to the canvas with a German, but Owen still has the hold intact, despite that German Suplex being executed well. Knox fights his way back up and drops Owen with a backdrop suplex that breaks the hold he has over him. Owen arches his back and tries to get to his feet but Knox doesn't let him, mounting on top of him and delivering several crisp strikes to Gonsalves. He drags him by the leg over to his corner where he makes the tag to Cashe. He slingshots his way into the ring and Knox has Owen by the ropes. An Irish whip see's Owen running from one side of the ring to the other and when he returns to the center of the ring he's taken down by a double flapjack by the champions. Both men pose in the center of the ring with their tongues out, embracing the boo's that follow from the crowd. Knox exits the ring and now it's Cashe's turn to make an impact. Straight off the bat he goes for the joints and ligaments, stomping the knee of Owen and then the ankle, and then diving down and connecting with a headbutt. He grabs the fingers of Owen and lays them flat against the canvas, jumping up in the air and stomping on them with his right foot. Owen holds onto his fingers, biting through the pain and trying to show that he's okay, despite the fact that Cashe may have just broke all of his fingers. Brien Storm: That did not look healthy. Cashe just stomping on the fingers of Gonsalves who's trying to hide the pain but I know that's gonna hurt in the morning.
Wes Futhais: I've been in a few situations with these fingers and believe you me, he could've had it much worse.
Brien Storm: I don't even wanna think about the anecdote you have with that, Wes. Even after kicks to the head, Owen finds his way to his feet, those kicks from Cashe acting as inspiration for Owen to get to his feet. Cashe takes off to the ropes, coming back and slamming Owen down to the canvas with a clothesline. Owen gets back up and eats up another clothesline by Cashe. But again, Owen is back up on his feet only for Cashe to strike him back down with a clothesline. Owen is up, and then down. Up, and then down. This goes on three more times until we reach a point where Cashe is bent over and blowing out of his ass. Owen is up on his feet with his hands on his hips. Barely even breaking a sweat, to the fans approval who applaud him. Cashe looks up and see's Owen, who winks at him - and shakes his head, straightening himself up with the two men then colliding heads and leaning into each other. They then lean back and at the same time connect with headbutts to one another, a clapping sensation echoing through the arena with both men stumbling backwards. They've both been hurt by the move, and they're coming off of the ropes at the same exact time, a lariat attempt by Cashe's see's Owen duck under it and go for a backslide pin.
... ONE
... ... TWO The "tRoUbLeD1" kicks out. They both race to their feet with Cashe looking for another strike attempt but Owen ducks underneath it, rolling him up from behind for another quick pin attempt.
... ONE
... ... TWOIt isn't enough to put him away. They're both racing to their feet with Cashe running at Owen, Owen helps him along by side stepping and pushing him as he runs over to the other set. Cashe fakes a comeback and Owen hangs in the air - expecting a comeback from Cashe that never comes. Cashe then runs at Owen like a mad man, sliding his knee across the canvas to get in behind him and lock him in a rear waist lock. Owen stomps on his foot, elbows him in the side of the head before grabbing his arm, arm wrench and dragging it down, trying to pop the shoulder of Cashe. Cashe knee's him in the midsection and reverses but Owen is already two steps ahead, he rolls forwards, then back - kipping himself up, snapmare to Cashe before delivering a brutal kick to the spine. He delivers another one immediately after before going for a kick to the chest of the seated Cashe, but Cashe presses his back against the canvas before rolling Owen up, allowing him to roll through, and hits him with a superkick that see's spit fly out the mouth of Gonsalves. Brien Storm: A superkick by Jason Cashe and damn that looked like a heavy blow on Gonsalves. Wes Futhais: We just saw Owen Gonsalves get the sense knocked out of him!He delivers a Samoan drop before making the tag to Cashe, who climbs to the top rope and performs an elbow drop to Owen. He hooks the legs. ... ONE
... ... TWO'Indestructible' Gonsalves kicks out. He reaches his hand out toward his partner but he's a long way from him, Cashe grabbing him by neck and bringing him back over to his corner. He makes the tag to Knox and once again the two put the boots on Gonsalves, who's struggling to stay on his feet. The referee counts down both men as only Knox is legal and Cashe holds his hands up before exiting to the apron. Cashe looks over at Ace and starts to mock him, calling him a "british prick" but Watson replies with "spell British", and it shuts Cashe straight up. Knox is attacking the knees and ankle of Owen who's trying to crawl his way over to Ace but every time he moves, Knox stomps on either one or both. Knox then drops down to the canvas and locks Owen in an STF submission hold. Owen winces and when the referee asks whether he wants to quit, he shakes his head sideways and says "fuck no!", despite being in considerable pain. He manages to move his legs closer to the ropes and just when he's about to reach them, Knox get's up and drags Owen back to the center of the ring, and returns to the STF. 'GON-SAL-VES - GON-SAL-VES - GON - SAL - VES'
'GON-SAL-VES - GON-SAL-VES - GON - SAL - VES'
'GON-SAL-VES - GON-SAL-VES - GON - SAL - VES' The chanting of Gonsalves by the Japanese fans brings a maniacal laugh out of Knox, tightening the hold and trying to squeeze the life out of Gonsalves. But everyone knows you can't squeeze the life out of someone who's Indestructible, especially Owen Gonsalves. Gonsalves uses a second wind of energy to stretch his legs and scoot over to the ropes, his leg draping onto the bottom rope and the fans applaud him for his efforts. "BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" What echoes through the arena now is boo's as Knox goes back to stomping on the already grounded Owen, on his knee caps specifically. He brings him back up to his feet and leans him against the ropes, Irish whip, Owen reverses - Knox bounces off of the ropes, European Uppercut by Gonsalves! Gonsalves then heads to the ropes, springboard onto the second ropes - corkscrews his way round as he delivers an uppercut to Knox! Brien Storm: And Gonsalves comes back to life with a springboard European Uppercut!Wes Futhais: Damn that was impressive by Gonsalves but now can he make that tag to Ace Watson?REPLAY BOARD
'SHOOT-CAMP, SHOOT-CAMP- SHOOTCAMP'
'SHOOT-CAMP, SHOOT-CAMP- SHOOTCAMP'
'SHOOT-CAMP, SHOOT-CAMP- SHOOTCAMP' The arena is rocking with Shootcamp chants! Owen reaches for his partner Ace Watson, crawling his way over and before he can make the tag Jason Cashe comes running into the ring and stomps Owen on the back! Owen slingshots his way over the top rope and into the ring, ducks under a strike attempt by Cashe and bouncing off of the ropes, performing a bulldog on the veteran! Knox is also back on his feet and looks to hit Watson who blocks it and then lands a dropkick on him. Watson gets to his feet and soaks in the cheers and applause from the crowd. He then helps up his fallen partner and points at dPEEg, who are outside the ring opposite each other recovering. Watson goes for Cashe with a suicide dive to the outside whilst Owen goes for Knox with a tope con hilo! Brien Storm: And Shootcamp are back in this one! Man, this arena is rocking right now and these fans love these guys. Wes Futhais: Who wouldn't! They're representing KAMIKAZE Pro extremely well tonight!Owen rolls Knox back into the ring before making the tag out to Ace, who enters the fray. Ace immediately takes off to the ropes, bouncing off of them and hitting Knox with a slingblade. Owen somersaults his way into the ring and lands a legdrop on Knox! Ace then hooks the legs! ... ONE
... ... TWO
... ... ... NOOOO!A kickout by Knox but Shootcamp aren't done yet. Ace makes the tag to Owen who enters the ring whilst Ace makes his way to the top rope. Owen wraps his arms round Knox, performing a bridging tiger suplex whilst Ace flies off of the top rope and delivers an elbow drop to Knox! Owen then covers! ... ONE
... ... TWO
... ... ... NOOOO!Once again another tag is made and it's now Ace as the legal man. Ace hits Knox with a European Uppercut, Knox turns around and then takes one from Owen, turning around and having to take another hit from Ace, turns - Owen again with the uppercut. They do this for another round before Ace connects with an enziguri and falls onto all fours, Owen stepping onto his back and delivering another enziguri on Knox, who fall's after a moment of groggy staggering. Ace covers! ... ONE
... ... TWO
... ... ... SAVE FROM JASON CASHE!
Cashe then throws Ace to the outside. Owen enters the ring and runs at Cashe, who drops him with a left handed clothesline. Cashe picks Owen up by his hair and throws him out of the ring too. Cashe then takes off to the ropes, bouncing off of them and looking like he's going to do an aerial move to the outside, but he slams on the brakes and puts both of his middle fingers up at Shootcamp, the fans laugh and applaud him for it. Knox is back up on his feet and he blindsides both men on the outside who both have their attention on Cashe with a double front dropkick! Owen goes flying back into the railing whilst Ace leans back and hits a table, falling forward and arching onto his back afterwards. Cashe rolls to the outside too and he focuses on Owen whilst Knox focuses on Ace. Knox has Ace up against a table and he's striking him across the head with ferocious forearms, one after the other connecting in quick succession. He then rolls Ace onto the table. Meanwhile, Cashe has thrown Gonsalves into a section of chairs by the fans, that are clear of course. Gonsalves crashes into them, arching his back as he takes a seat. Cashe runs over to him and nails him with a big boot that sends Gonsalves flying backwards. All of this happens whilst Knox makes his way back to the ring, breaking the count by the referee and making his way up to the top rope. He positions himself, and a frenzy of ooo's echo through the arena as he looks down at Ace, who's still quite away from him. Wes Futhais: Oh, he can't be trying this! Bri, he's not gonna make it!Brien Storm: I've seen Tommy Knox do crazier things.He flies off of the top rope...
AMERICAN HIGHLIFE THROUGH THE DAMNED TABLE!"CRAAAASSSSHHHHHHH" Brien Storm: Yep, I take that back. That is the craziest thing I've seen that motherfucker do.

They turn and see that Shootcamp are lying right next to them. They're in disbelief, looking at the referee who explains that Ace made it to the ring in time. Wes Futhais: They can't believe it! But nor can I!The referee instructs that the legal men, Ace and Knox, be in the ring by none of them are listening. They're all on their knees, with Ace and Knox exchanging blows whilst Owen and Cashe do the same. The strikes get harder and delivered faster, as both teams fight their way up to their feet and all of a sudden, it's a gorilla warfare with all four men wildly throwing punches like it's a damn boxing match! Ace and Gonsalves then take a step back. Ace hits Knox with a superkick and Owen does the same to Cashe! Brien Storm: Superkick by Shootcamp! Knox and Cashe stumble back into the ropes... they come back, with Knox superkicking Ace and Cashe to Owen! Brien Storm: Superkick by DPEEG!Both teams stumble backwards... before all stretching their legs and simultaneously connecting with hard impactful superkicks!

Knox and Ace gradually make it to their feet but only by leaning against each other. Their strikes are slow and you can tell that both men are tired. But then suddenly, there's a change of tempo by Ace Watson, who connects with a chain of punches that catches Knox off guard. Knox falls to a knee, Ace hits the ropes and comes back with a devastating bicycle kick to the head! Brien Storm: ACE WATSON WITH THE ZG KICK!Wes Futhais: You're losing your cool for the first time tonight, Brien! I love it!Ace jumps on Knox for the cover! ... ONE

Knox stretches for Cashe who's eager to get in and Watson grabs Knox by his leg, Knox turns himself around, kicks Watson in the face who stumbles backwards into his corner, with Gonsalves tapping his back but remaining on the apron. Knox makes the tag and Cashe runs at Watson, looking for the Mark of Jason but Watson dodges and runs to the ropes. Owen enters the ring and runs at Cashe who's in the middle of the ring with both Gonsalves and Watson running at him from opposite directions, they crush his head with a Running Bicycle Knee (Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike) and a Shining Wizard! Brien Storm: Coup De Main by Shootcamp!Owen falls on top of Cashe and hooks the legs! ... ONE
... ... TWO
... ... ... NOOOOOOO!Wes Futhais: HOW THE FUCK!There's a disbelief that lingers in the air but Shootcamp don't even take a second to reflect on it. Owen picks Cashe up and leads him over to the padded corner, looking to make the tag but Cashe drops to his knees. Owen reaches down for him but Cashe bites his hand like a dog! He doesn't let go either, even when Owen strikes him repeatedly with kicks, Cashe continues to bite down on his hand. Ace tries to enter the ring but the referee stops him and has a word with him, Knox enters the fray and a clothesline sends Owen down. He rolls out before the referee can turn, with Ace Watson going absolutely livid on the apron. Cashe laughs as Owen covers one hand over the other. Cashe looks to grab Owen by the legs but he kicks him backwards. Ace tags himself in, slingshot into the ring and runs at Cashe, with Knox slapping the back of Cashe. Ace delivers a front drop kick that sends Cashe back into the padded corner. Cashe stumbles back out with Ace then turning him around, Inverted facelock spun out into a DDT! Brien Storm: Anglian Driver!Wes Futhais: He's going for the pin but Knox had already made the tag!
Ace covers.
But there's no count.
He looks at the referee who explains that Cashe isn't the legal man. Ace gets up and turns around and Knox connects with two right kicks to the thigh and then a left kick to his stomach. As Ace lunges over from the last kick, he wraps his head with his right arm and then plants it into the mat with a powerful, swift DDT. Knox then finds himself climbing up to the top rope and positioning for the American Highlife. Owen Gonsalves enters the ring with a chair in his hands. Wes Futhais: When the fuck did this become an extreme rules match?!Brien Storm: I have no idea but the referee isn't gonna do anything about, so I ain't complaining!"CATCH" shouts Gonsalves, he throws the chair at Knox who catches, and then delivers a superkick with Knox landing hard on the outside! Gonsalves turns around and Cashe is back up on his feet, back-to-back cutter from Cashe! Brien Storm: UNDER THE INFLUENCE BY JASON CASHE!Gonsalves rolls to the outside. Cashe is the only one left standing and he's bashing his own head with his fist, laughing as he does whilst getting an appreciation applaud from the fans. Cashe then rolls to the outside and picks Knox up, telling him they need to finish this! Knox nods his head and rolls himself back in. Ace is recovering and now both Knox and Cashe are in the ring. Cashe with the back to back cutter! Brien Storm: AND AGAIN, UNDER THE INFLUENCE!He rolls to the outside and makes sure that Gonsalves is still down whilst Knox is up on the top rope...
He leaps off.
Performing his American Highlife frogsplash!Brien Storm: AND AMERICAN HIGHLIFE FROM TOMMY KNOX!Wes Futhais: IT'S ALL OVER!Knox covers Ace. ... ONE

... .... ... THREEE!
NOOOOOOOOO! The foot of Ace is on the ropes! The referee points at it and Knox can't believe it! Brien Storm: How on earth, is Ace Watson still alive?! He got slammed through a damned table, and now this... Wes Futhais: I guess you can say that Gonsalves isn't the only one who's Indestructible! Cashe celebrates on the outside, thinking they've won but Knox leans over the top rope and shouts at him "it's not over!". Cashe looks confused, like he doesn't understand what Knox is saying, like he's speaking a different language entirely. Owen Gonsalves is behind him! "Paroxysm" connects! A snap dragon suplex on the outside! Brien Storm: Owen Gonsalves might have just broke the neck of Jason Cashe!Wes Futhais: Cashe about to look like Mike Tyson with a fat neck in the morning!Cashe bumps hard on the outside, holding onto his neck and rolling with Tommy holding onto his head and shaking it. He turns around and Ace is back up on his feet. Knox turns and now Gonsalves is on the apron. 'SHOOT-CAMP, SHOOT-CAMP-SHOOT-CAMP'
'SHOOT-CAMP, SHOOT-CAMP-SHOOT-CAMP'
'SHOOT-CAMP, SHOOT-CAMP-SHOOT-CAMP' Their name echoes through the Tokyo Dome again! Knox chuckles and tries to reason with both men. Gonsalves enters the ring and Knox tries to run out by Ace grabs him by the foot, reeling him back in. Gonsalves sets up for his Wrist Lock Short Arm Lariat (Darkest Lariat), and as he unravels the wrist lock, Ace nails Knox with a Superkick and before the opponent can collapse, Owen pulls them in to finish the Short Arm Lariat. Brien Storm: BY GOD! I THINK WE'VE SEEN IT ALL! THIS ONE HAS TO BE OVER!Ace falls on top of Knox for the cover! ... ONE
... ... TWO
... ... ... NOOOOOOO!Jason Cashe grabs the leg of Tommy Knox and manages to pull him to the outside, to the disapproval of the fans who begin to jeer. Shootcamp look at the referee asking whether he's going to allow that, which is rather stupid seeing as the referee pretty much allowed this match to turn into a no disqualification. Watson makes the tag to Owen and the two men exit the ring and follows DPEEG around, who roll back into the ring. Both men then roll themselves in and Cashe throws the referee into Ace Watson, Watson catches the ref and moves him out of the way, with Cashe running at Ace and connecting with the Mark of Jason (Superman Elbow). Ace drops and rolls to the outside. Knox runs at Owen Gonsalves, who dodges a combination of strike attempts before delivering the stiffest forearm we've seen so far tonight. Knox falls to a knee and Gonsalves delivers a knee to the face of Knox! Knox hits the canvas hard and Cashe runs at Owen, drop toe hold into the padded corner. Cashe gets up and turns himself around, Gonsalves runs at him and hits him with an Uppercut in the corner. Cashe stumbles out and Gonsalves then delivers his "Soul-Stealing 7-Star Strike"! The fans cheer but Gonsalves isn't done yet! He picks Cashe up and positions him for the Final Gambit Doublehook Piledriver! And he hits it! Brien Storm: THE FINAL GAMBIT!Wes Futhais: BUT CASHE ISN'T THE LEGAL MAN!Cashe rolls to the outside...
Gonsalves looks for Tommy Knox.
Knox stalks him from behind. He puts him in a half nelson with one arm and wraps Owen's neck with the other locking his hands together! Brien Storm: DRUNKEN HANGOVER!He tightens the hold!
He squeezes..
Owen is fighting!
The fans are on his side!
But he's fading!Brien Storm: GONSALVES IS ABOUT TO PASS OUT!He fades.
The referee holds his arm up. It drops.
The referee holds his arm up. It drops.
The referee holds his arm up. It drops. DING DING DING! “I Wanna Do Something Freaky To You” by Leon Haywood plays through the arena. The arena is stunned into silence, after seeing what is undoubtedly a contender for match of the year, and it's only the first show of the year. Knox releases Gonsalves from his grasp and Gonsalves lifelessly falls to the canvas. Knox falls too though from pure exhaustion. Cashe lies on the outside of the ring and when he hears his theme song playing he knows Knox got the job done and holds his arm up in victory. But he can't move either. None of these men are. Mai Kado: (Ladies and Gentlemen, the winners of the match and STILL - THE NJFC WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS... DPEEEEGGGGGGGG!)There's a standing ovation that commences. Not over the victory but because of the match as a whole. The referee helps Knox up to his feet but it isn't much use, because he's sent back down to the canvas moments, crashing down like a domino. Cashe rolls himself into the ring and crawls towards his partner. They hold each other up and they're passed over their tag team titles. Championship belts they've had for almost two years now. Confetti falls and streamers come from the corners of the ring. Ace rolls him back into the ring too and checks up on his partner, who's becoming conscious again. Owen apologizes to Ace, saying how "I let you down." but Ace shakes his head, "No, you didn't." The two embrace in a hug which only makes the volume in the arena reach it's optimum. Cashe and Knox get to their feet and look at SHOOTCAMP who are on their knees. There's a mutual respect now, one that was earned during the match. Knox and Cashe know that if anyone has a chance of dethroning them, it's these two men. They nod their heads at them before exiting the ring and leaving Shootcamp alone in the ring. 'SHOOT-CAMP, SHOOT-CAMP-SHOOT-CAMP'
'SHOOT-CAMP, SHOOT-CAMP-SHOOT-CAMP'

Showcase Match NJFC Global Championship Singles Match
Anastasia Hayden vs. Mitsuo Shimada (c)
Brien Storm: It's Global Championship time here ladies and gentlemen and yeah, you could say that this could be a showstealer? Though it wasn't getting as much hype on the polls in comparison to some of the other matches, don't let that fool you, we've got two premier competitors battling it out for the Global title. Mitsuo Shimada, a member of the Dogs of War and one of the founding fathers taking on the number one contender to the Four Corners Wrestling title, Anastasia Hayden, who's been here before, she's had a chance at the Global title in the past but came up short against Bryan Williams. But she gets another opportunity tonight.Wes Futhais: Another opportunity and she's got to take it, man. She's gotta grab it with both hands and beat this motherfucker because goddamn I hate this guy. As talented as he is, he's friends with an arch-nemesis of mine. Your Hero and not Mine.Brien Storm: You're not gonna let that Shining Rumble thing go, are you Wes?Wes Futhais: Hell no! The lighting in the building darkens a bit before the opening of “Shook Ones (Part II)” by Mobb Deep starts playing and the crowd begins to boo. As soon as the intro of the song finishes, Anastasia Hayden steps out from the curtains with her mouth guard hanging out. The negative reception doesn’t bother her as she stands at the top of the entrance, surveying the ring and the crowd before she pops the mouth guard back in and starts making her way down to the ring. ”I got you stuck off the realness, we be the infamous
You heard of us, official Queensbridge murderers
The Mobb comes equipped for warfare, beware
Of my crime family who got ‘nough shots to share” Mai Kado: (Making her way to the ring, hailing from Steele, North Dakota…weighing in at one hundred twenty-eight pounds…she is the ‘GRAND DUCHESS’… ANASTASIA HHAAYYDDEENN!!!)”Rock you in your face, stab your brain with your nose bone
You all alone in these streets, cousin
Every man for they self in this land we be gunnin’
And keep them shook crews runnin’, like they supposed to
They come around, but they never come close to”
The announcement of her name only draws out more boos toward Ana. She brushes them off as she leaps up to the apron and climbs through the ropes into the ring. Ana finds a free corner in the ring and walks toward it, perching herself on the top turnbuckle, and popping her mouth guard out again as she waits for the match to begin. Brien Storm: She is the challenger, well known across the globe and she's already made her mark here in New Japan before. The question is, can she continue to do it and get the win tonight over Shimada? Does she have what it takes...Wes Futhais: Of course she does. We're talking about one of the best in the world right here, Brien. She shouldn't have a problem with Shimada. She's ruthless, aggressive, in your face - everything you want in a champion. As the opening of Stardust by Kazsin plays through the speakers, the arena falls to silence as the lights also dim down. Strobe lights of red and gold suddenly shine towards the stage and emerging from the back is "The Savior, The Myth, And The Legend" Mitsuo Shimada, who has a stern look on his face as he stands on the top of the entrance ramp. He's all suited up, with his hands tied behind his back, he looks down and closes his eyes.
Mai Kado: (Making his way to the ring, weighing in a two hundred and twenty five pounds.. Your Savior, The Myth and The Legend -- THE DEFENDING NJFC GLOBAL CHAMPION... MITSUO SHIMADA!)Opening his eyes, he looks back up as Kado finishes her sentence and within his eyes you can see the evil beneath. He smirks as he makes his way down the entrance ramp, jeers coming from all over the arena but he doesn't care. He's blocked out the noise of the crowd and his sole concentration is now on the ring. Reaching the edge of the ramp, he pauses once more and looks inside the ring, nodding his head before walking around the edge of the ring and mocking the fans around him. He then jumps onto the apron and latches onto the ropes, inhaling, exhaling, before entering the ring. He takes off his pants from the bottom, extinguishing them before taking his blazer and shirt off, throwing that out of the ring too, with staff on the go to collect those items. Wes Futhais: BOOOOOO!Brien Storm: Jesus Wes, would you shut up? He can't hear you and you look like an idiot.The audience stirs as Courage by The Minutemen blares around the arena. Aokigahara Zombie emerges from the entrance with the KAMIKAZE Pro Evolution Championship belt on his shoulder. He walks to the ring clapping with the audience. He locks eyes with Mitsuo Shimada the whole time he is in the ring and when he asks for a microphone. Aokigahara Zombie: I have been watching New Japan Fighting Championships with great interest ever since Tokyo Zombie came over. There have been a lot of great fighters coming here and I knew I couldn’t stay away. The caliber of the competition here is just too great to resist.
He gets closer to Mitsuo Shimada who braces against the ropes but stands up for Aoki’s challenge.
Aokigahara Zombie: I know what it feels like to go up against the best of the best. I want to get that feeling again. I want that ache that borders on fear knowing that you are about to face a true beast in the ring. I am here to make that happen for myself and step into the path of a true monster. I am here to challenge Anastasia Hayden.He swiftly turns away from Mitsuo Shimada and grins at Anastasia Hayden who looks at him with a confused expression. Aokigahara Zombie: I have been watching you with great interest and now after this match I am convinced. I need a match with you, Hayden. I’ve been in talks here and I think I have this set up. Please accept my challenge.He goes on one knee and extends a hand out to Anastasia very formally. She stares at him and then at a fuming Mitsuo Shimada. She shakes Aokigahara’s hand and they stare each other down. Brien Storm: Well would you look at that? KAMIKAZE's own here in New Japan?Wes Futhais: I love it Bri, you see the look on the face of Shimada? Priceless!
DING DING DING! The bell rings and both competitors begin their routine circling of the ring, sizing each other up as they gradually get closer to one another. Anastasia is the first to instigate a collar to elbow tie up and Shimada looks as if he's going to lunge in to, but Shimada being Shimada chickens out at the last second, a smile on his face as he tells Ana to calm down. She doesn't look too impressed. They circle the ring again and Ana once again proposes a lock up in the center, Shimada nods his head and the two gradually get closer to one another, Ana stretching a hand out to propose a lock and Shimada slowly stretching his. But he once again dodges out of it, walking away with a smile on his face as he now telling the audience to calm down. Ana has her arms on her hips and looks a little frustrated, as you would be, at Shimada. Shimada is the one who proposes a lock up on this occasion and Ana looks at him carefully, wondering whether she should trust him or not. And of course, you should trust someone like Mistuo Shimada. They both lunge forward and Shimada once again side steps, holding his arm up in the air as he does so. This is the last straw for Ana who flings towards him clubbing him round the back as she leads him into the corner. This is where she begins to display a variation of strikes from kicks to open palm to forearms, Shimada is stunned as he stumbles out of the corner. Ana heads to the ropes, bouncing off of them only for Shimada to run past her. He bounces off of the ropes and looks for a low drop kick on Ana, who side steps, she grabs the legs and looks for an early submission, he manages to kick her away. She staggers back, holding onto the side of her head before running back at Shimada, drop toe hold by the champion who then swivels his body round quickly and gets her in a headlock. He keeps her grounded, a smile continuing to remain on his face. Ana fights her way to her feet and pushes Shimada back into the ropes, Shimada is off in the direction of the opposite set and when he comes back he nudges her down to the ground with ease. He then takes off to the ropes yet again with Ana moving across the canvas, Shimada has to leap over her and is on his way to the opposite ropes. He bounces off of them and as he comes back, Ana looks to leap over him - but Shimada catches her on his shoulders! He performs a rolling fireman's carry before springing onto the second ropes and moonsaulting his way backwards! Brien Storm: Jesus, what a move by Mitsuo Shimada. I didn't expect him to catch her from that leapfrog but the champion is on the top of his game here tonight, looking to add some credibility to his Global title that he believes hasn't had the best representation from it's predecessors.Wes Futhais: Yada-yada-yada, I'm getting sick and tired of hearing about Mitsuo Shimada!Brien Storm: We're literally commentating on his match, Wes. Wes Futhais: Yeah, and I'm sick of it! Ana rolls to the outside before Shimada has a chance to make the pin. She clutches onto her stomach, walking around the ring and watching Shimada who invites her in with a motion using his finger. Ana tuts before leaping onto the apron and slowly entering the ring. Shimada runs at her immediately but is caught by an enziguri to the back of the head. He staggers backwards and forwards, that blow to the head showing it's affects as he struggles to remain on his feet. Ana then takes him down with a double leg takedown, runs to the ropes - leaps up, and drops the knee across his face. Shimada holds onto his nose as he sits up. Ana then goes to work on the back of Shimada, a series of kicks to the back forces the champion to wince a little. Ana then takes off to the ropes, bouncing off of them and delivers a drop kick to the seated Mitsuo Shimada. And she covers... ... ONE!A shoulder bursts up immediately. The Grand Duchess rises to her feet and allows Shimada up to his feet on his own time, to the surprise of the champion. 'SHI-MA-DA, SHI-MA-DA, SHI-MA-DA' 'SHI-MA-DA, SHI-MA-DA, SHI-MA-DA' 'SHI-MA-DA, SHI-MA-DA, SHI-MA-DA' To the surprise of Shimada, the fans are chanting his name and he looks around the arena, nodding his head in acknowledgement and puts his fist up in the air. Ana on the otherhand, she doesn't care for the crowd's reaction as that's not what it's about for her. She keeps her eyes on Shimada, refusing to look at the fans who are chanting his name and it seems to be almost everyone in the arena.
Brien Storm: You hear that, Wes? Sounds like Japan have made their decision on what they want to win here tonight. Wes Futhais: How can I not, Bri? It's quite literally electric in here, man, and I don't even know if they have electricity in this country! But I'm curious as to why they love Shimada so much. I mean, the guy is quite literally one of the biggest assholes in the industry right now, him and his Dogs of War that is. You know, I'm startin' to think that maybe Japan isn't as great as I thought it was. They're cheerin' a villain, Brien! What they gonna do next, man, start booing Goku? It's backwards man, I don't like it. Brien Storm: Assholes, may be. But they sell merch, sell events and keep things interesting. The two then circle the ring with another round of Shimada dodging out of a lockup, to the dismay of the fans. He tells them to calm down, using hand signals as he walks around the ring, looking at Ana who looks as if she's about to kick is fucking teeth in. And she has reason to now that he's grinning from ear to ear, teeth on full display. Another luck up attempt, Shimada dodges and Ana doesn't allow it to happen for a third time, she goes back to the clubs around the back, each strike being harder than the last. Pushing him into the ropes, she then Irish whips him to the opposite set - Shimada fakes the comeback by latching onto the top ropes, Ana swings a foot expecting for him to come back. And when he doesn't, Shimada then makes a move, looking for a lariat but Ana ducks and heads to the ropes, coming back and performing a til-a-whirl head scissors on Shimada. She hooks the leg. ... ONE
... ... TWO He kicks out. Bringing him back up onto his feet, she leads him over to the corner with forearm strikes before making an Irish whip attempt, Shimada reverses it, she hits the padded corner with Shimada now running at her, she lifts her foot up and kicks him, he stagger backwards holding onto his face. He quickly recovers, turning and running toward Ana who throws both of her feet in his direction, but he catches them, throws them down before hoisting her up on the top rope - clapping, and drop kicking her off of the top rope and she lands on the outside.
Brien Storm: You can think what you want to think about the champion, but inside that ring he's one of the best I've seen in a long time. Sure, he's cocky and a little arrogant but that's what I like. I like when someone has that about themselves, a little bit of personality. Wes Futhais: You call it personality, I call it being an asshole. You call it tomato, I call it tomatoe! But one of them is wrong and on this occasion, it's you my friend. You, are wrong. Brien Storm: You done, Wes? I wanna get back to watching the match.Shimada exits the ring and walks around for a couple of seconds, he see's a fan member wearing his merchandise and pushes through the railing, glaring at the man who's wearing a Dogs of War cap but for some reason also has a shirt that says #SHOOTCAMP. He shakes his head and grabs the man's hat, throwing it to the floor before making his way back over to Ana, boo's beginning to echo through the arena. He reaches her and grabs her by the hair, forcing her back into the edge of the apron. He then lifts her onto it before joining, picking her up and measuring her. He then drops her head onto the apron with a Snap DDT, gasps filling the arena as he walks around the outside of the ring with a wicked smile on his face, wiping the sweat away from his eyes. You can't help but feel for Ana now, who wouldn't want you to feel that way for her by any means, but right now she's being picked off by the champion. She rolls off of the apron and falls hard onto the ground, holding onto her forehead as she checks to see if there is any blood. Luckily for her, there isn't any. Not yet anyway. The referee quickly checks to confirm that there is no blood and it isn't a serious head injury before sliding back into the ring where he begins a count. ONE

Shimada gets back to work by putting the boots onto Ana, all over the mid section before grabbing her by the hair, pulling her up and driving his elbow into her neck. He brings her up and throws her into the padded corner, what follows is a flurry of elbows by Shimada dedicated to the head of Ana, one after the other as he tries to make her bleed because that's all he wants at this stage, that is what will plead him. He goes at her like a mad man, his face stern and composed as he eases up. He grabs her and snapmares her into the middle of the ring before keeping her down with a headlock, trying to grind his arms into her forehead, for some reason he has this obsession with trying to make her bleed. "Come on, Ana" he says in his native tongue, "BLEED" and he laughs. Ana refuses to tap and manages to fight her way to her feet, with the tides changing and all of a sudden the fans are now on her side! Shimada shakes his head as she tries to strike him in the mid section, trying to make him ease up his grip, but he then drops her to the canvas with another DDT! And he hooks the legs!
... ONE
... .... TWOShe kicks out! Brien Storm: Shimada being tactical and working on the head of Anastasia Hayden here tonight. Wes Futhais: Phrasing, boom. With a smirk on his face, Shimada begins to bring Ana back up onto her feet, but she's also fighting back, forearms to the mid section connecting. Shimada then rubs his fist into the head of Ana who pushes him off. He stumbles back, turning around before turning back and spitting at her. Ana feels it. She really feels it and she isn't happy. All of a sudden there's a switch. Shimada shouldn't have done that. She spits back at him! He spits at her! She spits back! They both engage in this war of spit being directed at one another until Shimada has had enough and grabs her by the arm, Irish whip attempt, she reverses it and Shimada hits the ropes, comes back and throws an arm out at Ana who ducks underneath, wrapping her arms around his neck in a full nelson position, before lifting him up, this man who's nearly one hundred pounds heavier than she is and dropping him with a Dragon Suplex! It's impressive and has the fans applauding her, she isn't able to bridge into the pin but she still managed to do it, which is enough for the fans who are in awe of such athleticism. She gets to her feet and shows some appreciation, nodding her head as she clenches her fist. She picks Shimada up and Irish whip again, he bounces back and she drops him with a high-angled drop kick, right to the face! He falls to the canvas and rolls to the corner, holding onto his face and using the ropes nearby to help himself up. She runs at him, corner Yakuza kick, he drops down to a seated position and she uses her foot to push back against the head of Shimada, who struggles as he latches onto the ropes with the referee counting down on Ana, who let's go. Ana then runs to the opposite corner, using the padded as a booster before running back at Shimada, dropkick to the seated Shimada in the corner who then rolls to the outside. Applause follows from the fans. Ana gets back up and watches Shimada who's getting to his feet, she then takes off to the ropes, bouncing off of them and heads in his direction, suicide dive through the ropes and crashes into him on the outside! REPLAY BOARD
Grabbing Shimada, she then rolls him into the ring before climbing onto the apron and onto the top rope. She positions herself, waiting as Shimada rises to his feet. Once he does, she jumps off but he rolls forwards, she manages to land on her feet and rolls through. She turns and runs at Shimada who lifts her up and drops her on his knee. She stumbles back into the corner and Shimada runs towards her, but she also comes flying out of the corner and delivers a spinning wheel kick that sends the champion down.
Wes Futhais: Ana is really starting to come into her own now after that suicide dive to the outside. Brien Storm: She really is but let's not forget who's she's up against. This is a man who's willing to let others do his dirty work for him. She's up against a winner, you can call it cowardice but it gets the job done. With Shimada by the ropes, he grabs onto the referee and sends him into Ana, the two bumping into each other. Shimada then runs at Ana and delivers a stiff forearm to he head, and again -- and third before pushing her back into the ropes. An Irish whip into the opposite set follows but when Ana comes back, Shimada has now reply for the "She Was Only Seventeen" single leg kick to the face! Brien Storm: She just hit him with her finishing move! We're about to get a new champion!
Wes Futhais: YES!But Shimada is smart and finds himself lying on the apron. Ana looks around before realizing where Shimada is. She tries to grab him but Shimada then drops to the outside, using his ring awareness to get out of a position which definitely would have seen him lose the man. He crawls his way around the outside and Hayden follows, grabbing a steel chair from a section of the crowd and approaching Shimada. Brien Storm: Is this legal?Wes Futhais: Well... I guess so?!The referee tells Ana to bring the action back into the ring but she doesn't listen. It's just white noise to her as she holds the chair in position. Shimada uses the railing to get up and Ana hits the chair viciously against his back, he arches and falls to the ground, rolling around a little. The referee once again asks Ana to bring the action back into the ring but she yells: "GIVE ME A FUCKING MINUTE!", which forces some laughs out of some of the fans nearby. Shimada is leaning against the apron when Ana hits him on the head with the chair. He stumbles away from the apron and into the railing. She drops the chair as the referee warns her to bring the action back into the ring. She nods her head and rolls herself back in, before rolling back out. There's a table set up next to the commentary tables that isn't occupied and Ana stares at it. The table isn't your conventional table you'd see across a variety of promotions, where it's easily breakable. No, this is a hard table. A table where if you break it, you're sure to do some damage to your back. And that's exactly what she's planning to do, making her way over to the announce tables and telling the commentary teams to move out of the way. She grabs onto this unused table and throws it over the railing, setting it up just outside the ring. She heads back over to Shimada who's now rolled himself into the ring. She follows, only to learn that Shimada has rolled himself back out of the ring on the otherside. She places her hands on her hips in disbelief and follows, only to learn that Shimada has rolled himself back into the ring. She turns, Shimada runs from one side of the ring toward her, she side steps, expecting him to leap out to the outside but he doesn't - instead he bounces off of the ropes and does a forward roll, posing as the cameras fixate on him. Wes Futhais: Oh come on really?! That's just taking the piss - Brien Storm: You kiddin' me? That was some rockstar shit, let's take another look.REPLAY BOARD Ana has a face of frustration and she slides back into the ring, looking to put the boots on Shimada but he's rolled back to the outside. They're playing this game of chase now with Ana rolling to the outside and chasing Shimada back into the ring. Shimada hits the ropes as Ana slides back in and looks for a running forearm but she rolls under his arm, looking for a German but she can't lift him up. He's putting all of his pressure down and she remains glued to the canvas. He uses his elbows to drive into the head of Ana who loses grip and stumbles back! Shimada then delivers his rolling kick signature move. REPLAY BOARD Brien Storm: And Ana is now bleeding after that rolling kick from Mitsuo Shimada, he's finally got his wish. Wes Futhais: Got some weird fetish Brien, I'll tell ya. But I do love a bit of blood in a wrasslin' match as much as anybody. He hooks the legs... ... ONE
... ... TWO
... .... ... NOOO!Immediately after he picks her up and positions her in a fireman's carry position. He performs a rolling fireman's slam before springing to his feet and springing himself onto the second ropes, flipping backwards as he tries to land the moonsault to complete the move but Ana lifts her knee's and they connect with his midsection. He grabs onto his ribs, wincing in pain as Ana get's to her feet. Ana racks up a combination of moves in quick succession, an enziguri is the first and Shimada stumbles back into the ropes, he comes back spinning hook kick that sends Shimada down! She covers! ... ONE
... ... TWO
... ... ... TH - NOOO!She rises to her feet and everyone seems to be on the side of Anastasia Hayden, once again, another change in the tides. She waits for Shimada to get to his feet and once she does, she runs towards him, looking for the "She Was Only Seventeen" again but he moves out of the way. She heads off to the opposite ropes, bouncing back and Shimada has popped her up into the air - LOOKING FOR THE DESTINY CALLS POWERBOMB! BUT SHE HOOKS HER LEGS AROUND HIS NECK AND MANAGES TO PERFORM A HURRICANRANA, HOOKING HIS LEGS AFTERWARDS FOR THE PIN! ... ONE
... .... TWO
... ... ... THREE!Wes Futhais: WE'VE GOT A NEW CHAMPION! WE'VE GOT A NEW GLOBAL CHAMPION AND HER NAME IS ANASTASIA HAYDEN! DING DING DING!
Mai Kado: (The winner of the match... and the NEW, NEW JAPAN FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP GLOBAL CHAMPION... ANASTASIA HAYDEN!)Her theme song plays but Ana has rolled herself to the outside of the ring after stealing the victory! Shimada holds his head in disbelief as the referee exits the ring and holds the title out to Ana, who grabs it and laughs manically. But she isn't sticking around for the celebration. The fans applaud and cheer her as she makes her way up the entrance ramp, a smirk on her lips as she holds the championship high above her head.
Brien Storm: Well... I did not see that coming, Wes.
Wes Futhais: I'll be honest, I thought that Shimada had her beat but Anastasia Hayden with that rana reversal - that's a moment I'm sure she'll never forget. Thank God she won Brien, I'm not sure if I can take anymore of this guy's cocky antics on the TL, man. |

FOOTAGE FROM PRIDE OF PURORESU Main Event NJFC World Heavyweight Championship Singles Match
Chris Madison vs. Chandler Scott (c)
Brien Storm: Well it's main event time and what a night it has been. We've seen some real stellar matches and now it's the one we've all been waiting for. It's the match the dates all the way back to last summer, when we saw Chandler Scott beat Chris Madison to become the NJFC World Heavyweight Champion. In his first title defense, it's a rematch from that Pride of Puroresu final match and boy, it's going to be a heated one.Wes Futhais: Damn right it's going to be a heated one. A lot of talk about how Madison attacked Chandler after he was crowned the champion. It'll be interesting to see whether we get dPEEg out here tonight supporting their bro. But I guess we'll just have to wait and see. Mai Kado: (The following contest is your main event of the evening, it is scheduled for a one fall and it is for the Global Puroresu Crown WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!)The arena's lights dim to black as the opening guitar riffs to "War Machine" by KISS begin to screech over the P.A. system. The video screen lights up with visual static noise. Suddenly in the center of the screen a black handprint begins pulsating to the beat of the drum that has began to play. Mai Kado: (Introducing first… the challenger.)A spotlight shines on the entrance ramp and we see Chris Madison standing with his head bowed under a black towel, wearing an official FGA licensed t-shirt that says, "Always Ready For War," across the chest, and the FGA Pride Championship secured around his waist. He nods his head and taps the main plate of the championship belt to the beat of the drums. As the chorus breaks he rips the towel from his head and tosses it into the live audience, starting his way down the ramp toward, the ring. Better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine Better watch out 'cause I'm a war machine Mai Kado: (From Long Island, New York, weighing in at two hundred twenty pounds and standing six feet tall, the FGA PRIDE CHAMPION, "Mayhem" CHRIS MAAADDIISSOONN!!!)Madison makes it to the base of the steps and places one foot down before scoping out the fans directly behind him by peering over his shoulder. He smirks as the live audience sings along to the entrance music and then marches up the steps and climbs through the ropes. He immediately leaps up onto the middle rope and faces out towards the crowd. Brien Storm: When it comes down to it, Chris Madison is one of the most successful guys in all of professional wrestling. He's career has spanned almost two decades now with a list of accomplishments that verify him as one of the all time greats. But there's also been a lot of talk about Madison not being at the same level he once was. He suffered a back to back loss over in Four Corners, do you think that could play an integral role in the outcome of this match?Wes Futhais: ...Brien Storm: Wes, get the hell off of your phone, it's main event time.
Wes Futhais: I just had to see what people were saying on the TL! But to answer your question, I don't think it will man. Like you said, Madison is one of the all time greats and it comes with your fair share of losses to, it's not like the guys who have beaten him weren't good, they're brilliant! Madison is going to bring his A game like he does to every match, so you know Chandler has to be above par tonight.He brings his fists up to his face and punches his jaw with each hand before shooting his arms out horizontally with his hands wide open, welcoming whatever challenge is coming his way. Madison hops backwards, bouncing off of his feet and turns towards the center of the ring, snarling and ready to go. He reaches behind his back and unsnaps the FGA Pride Championship, slowly raising it above his head, inducing a roar from the crowd behind him. Mai Kado: (And his opponent…)The lights dim as the sound of a guitar plays throughout the arena. Gold lasers soon begin to shoot out from the stage. Once their attention has been captured, the crowd turns to the entryway to prepare for the man that's about to walk out. At the 25 second mark, “Animal Ghosts” bursts through the speakers. Chandler Scott pushes through the curtain to a loud ovation from the crowd. Mai Kado: (From Westwood, Massachusetts - weighing in a two hundred and twenty six pounds and standing six feet and one inch tall… he is the defending GPC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION OF THE WORLD -- CHANDLER SCOTT!)Chandler swings his championship across his shoulder before making his way down the aisle. After slapping hands with one or two lucky fans, he leaps onto the apron and enters through the ropes. Chandler times his ascension onto the middle ropes with the beginning of the chorus. The crowd sings along with the chorus while puts his hand above his eyes to scan the crowd. He smirks as he slowly slaps his chest three times before pointing to a lucky fan in the crowd. When the chorus ends, Chandler hops off the middle ropes, turns and lands on his feet. He begins slipping off his jumpsuit and tosses it to the outside. After holding the championship in his hands, Chandler kisses it before handing it off to the referee. His theme music dies down while he waits for the opening bell. JASON P DAVIDSON 1st NJFC World Heavyweight Champion 
JON KELLAR 2nd NJFC World Heavyweight Champion  CHANDLER SCOTT 3rd NJFC World Heavyweight Champion
 Brien Storm: A tribute to all of the champions of the past. How fitting.Wes Futhais: They're all white... Brien Storm: Yes Wes, I see that. Wes Futhais: I thought you said we're in Japan?!Appearing on the screen are images of Jason Davidson and Jon Kellar, one after the other - a sign of respect for those who have held the title before. It ends with a photo of our current champion, Chandler Scott, who gets an overwhelming ovation from everyone in the arena. The images fade away and the attention turns back to the center of the ring where the referee is explaining the rules to both of the men before the contest starts. DING DING DING! The bell rings and the electricity in the arena is through the roof. There’s not one person in the arena who isn’t clapping their hands at the stare down between Chris Madison and Chandler Scott. Both men have their eyes locked on one another, refusing to look away as they stand opposite from one another. You can cut the tension in the air with a butter knife. Outside the ring stands Tommy Knox and Jason Cashe, accomplices of Madison who’d retained their titles earlier on in the night. Madison looks at them and nods his head and they do the same to him. Scott rolls his wrists before doing the same with his neck and the champion is the first to make any movement. He begins to walk around the ring and Madison does the same, these two men still with unfinished business from their meeting last year, which saw Chandler Scott overcome the odds and be heralded the GPC World Heavyweight Champion. The two men gradually approach the center of the ring with their arms extending toward one another, a knuckle lock being implied. They lock in and the two men battle it out in a duel of strength, jockeying in position as they try to remain on their feet. It’s Madison who emerges the victor of the duel, pushing Scott back into the ropes where he pulls him down and begins an onslaught of knee’s being directed to the midsection of Scott. The referee counts Madison down and eventually, Mayhem Madison eases up before taking a couple of steps back. Scott looks startled by the explosive start from Madison and continues to latch onto the ropes, watching Madison who invites him back into a hold in the center of the ring. Reluctantly, Scott moves away from the ropes and the two men make a gradual approach to one another. They lock up in a collar to elbow tie up and once again they’re jockeying in position. This time, it’s Scott who’s able to get the upper hand and he pushes Madison back into the padded corner and rests his head against his chest as Madison latches onto the rope. The referee begins to count Scott down and he breaks away from Madison as slowly as he possibly can, going for a strike but then slowing down and simply patting him on the chest. A ring of applause then follows as Scott backs away from Madison, who can’t help but smile at the tomfoolery by Scott. Madison nods his head and the two men are circling the ring again, another collar to elbow tie up but this time it’s Madison who gets the upper hand. He tightens the hold, squeezing onto the head of Scott and trying to bring him down to a knee. Scott remains strong and manages to push him back into the ropes in an attempt to swing him off. But Madison doesn’t budge, only tightening the hold and bringing him back to the center of the ring. Scott winces in pain and Madison feeds off of it, a smile coming over his face. Scott once again attempts to get Madison to the ropes and succeeds, only to be brought back to the center of the ring with another tightened grip of the hold. Scott fights his way from his kneeling positioning and back over to the ropes they go and this time he manages to swing Madison off of him. Madison heads over to the ropes, bouncing off of them and is surprised to see that Scott has planted himself onto the canvas in a position to trip him up, but Madison reacts quickly and hops over him. Bouncing off of the opposite ropes, Madison finds himself now running into the direction of a standing Chandler Scott, who leapfrogs over Madison. Once again, ‘Mayhem’ Madison bounces off of the ropes only to be dropped to the canvas with a pinpoint dropkick executed exquisitely by Chandler Scott. Madison rolls to the outside after he’s hit with the move whilst Chandler basks in the glory, nodding his head in appreciation to the thunderous applause that follows from the fans in the arena. Brien Storm: There's nothing more beautiful than a dropkick delivered to perfection. Chandler Scott with a pinpoint dropkick that gives all the wrestling smarks around the world a hard one, I'm sure of it. Wes Futhais: One of the best dropkicks in the game, I could watch that all day!REPLAY BOARD 
Brien Storm: I think Madison is a little rocked after that dropkick to the face.
Wes Futhais: Wouldn't you be?
Brien Storm: Nah, doubt it!
The FGA Pride Champion walks around the outside of the ring with his hands on his hips. Frankie Morrison whispers something in his ear before patting him on the back. Madison continues to walk around the outside despite the referee’s warning of counting him out of the contest. Madison leaps onto the apron and enters the ring with Chandler allowing him to do so, at first. Chandler rushes over to Madison and all of a sudden, he’s consumed by a frenzy of rage - a burst of strikes unload onto Madison who’s backed into the corner. He throws his arms up, doing well to block the strikes but Chandler isn’t letting up, not even with the referee’s count. The referee has to literally push Chandler away and warn him that he’ll get disqualified if he continues. Chandler takes a few deep breaths, nodding his head before seeking to get back to work on Madison. Madison manages to get Chandler in a Muay Thai clinch and presses him onto the ropes, once again using his knees to drive into the midsection on Chandler.
Every knee is delivered harder than the last and at a quicker rate. Madison then Irish whips Chandler to the opposite set of ropes. Chandler bounces back with Madison running toward him and a drop kick to the knee’s of Chandler, who falls flat on his face. Madison then heads to the ropes once again but this time delivers a bicycle knee that sends a shockwave coasting through the arena, the head of Chandler recoiling after that thunderous knee to the head. Chandler lays on the canvas with one hand on the ropes. Madison see’s this and begins to work on the arm, stomping away relentlessly as he knows, one roaring hammer can end this match in an instant. It’s the elbow he directs most of his attention to, continuing to stomp away at it as Chandler crawls to the corner. Chandler makes a gradual return to his feet at the corner with Madison watching him from the center of the ring. Chandler turns around and rests against the padded corner whilst Madison runs at him, looking for a Yakuza kick but Chandler rolls underneath his foot just in time. Chandler changes direction and heads to the ropes, bouncing off of them and greeting Madison with a swing of the arm. Madison ducks underneath and locks him in a rear waist lock, attempting to lift him up and slam him face first to the canvas. But Chandler refuses to be lifted up, using his weight advantage to power himself back down. He then grabs onto the hand of Madison and manages to loosen it from his waist, he delivers an arm wrench before yanking down on the arm. Madison uses his free hand to break the hold before kicking Chandler in the gut and delivering an arm wrench of his own, to the same arm he was working on earlier. He brings the arm behind Chandler, a hammerlock intact, before lifting Chandler up and planting him down to the canvas with a hammerlock suplex.
Brien Storm: Strategic, that's what I like about Chris Madison, target acquired and he's going for that arm!
Wes Futhais: This could be a very uncomfortable night for the champion, we know what Madison is like, once he finds a target he'll keep picking at it.
Chandler tends to his arm, clutching onto it and wincing in pain as Madison crawls over to him, planting Chandler’s back down on the canvas and covering him.
ONE!
Only the one, and barely.
Madison mounts on top of Chandler and delivers several crisp strikes with his forearm to the face of Chandler, the strikes stiff and powerful, almost cringeworthy to watch. Madison then brings the champion up to his feet, lifts him up - and charges him into the corner, where he continues with this brutal onslaught of strikes being delivered to the body of the champion who's struggling to say the least. Cashe and Knox are on the outside of the ring, applauding Madison and they're getting stick for it from the crowd nearby. Madison then grabs Chandler by his arm and Irish whips him to the opposite corner, with Chandler bumping hard into the corner and falling onto the canvas. Chandler then rolls himself onto the apron and Madison joins him, getting through the ropes and standing a couple of feet away from Chandler who's gradually making his way up. Chandler then gets in behind him and locks him in a rear waist lock but Chandler manages to use his elbow, his injured one, to bash into the head of Madison who loosens up the hold before completely letting go and stumbling back, holding onto the side of his head. Chandler then runs towards Madison and flies into him with a European uppercut, with Madison falling off of the apron and landing on the outside of the ring!
The champion sits on the apron and recuperates for a couple of seconds. He watches Madison make his way over to the barrier whilst dPEEg check on him to see if he's okay. Chandler then gets down off the apron and charges towards Madison, bringing him up and leaning him against the railing. He delivers a series of forearms to Madison that see's the challenger slip down to a seated position. Chandler then takes a few paces backwards. He turns around and Madison is still in a seated position by the railing. Chandler sprints towards him, leaping in the air at the last second, and performs a hesitation dropkick on Madison, who's back connects firmly with the railing. The crowd nearby applaud as Chandler gets back up on his feet and rolls himself into the ring to break the sixteen count from the referee. Chandler then rolls himself back out of the ring and is met by Cashe and Knox standing in his way, guarding Madison from Chandler. Chandler tries to walk through the middle of them but the two men laugh and push him backwards, shaking their heads in disapproval. Chandler tries to do it again but once again the boys aren't letting him through. Chandler then steps back and nods his head, a growing frustration shown on his face. Madison then bursts through his two companions and towards Chandler, who see's the attack coming and manages to lift him up and drop him on the floor outside with a flapjack!
Brien Storm: Flapjack on the outside by Chandler Scott who may have just found a gateway back into the match with that.
The DNA of FGA gets to his feet and brings Madison up to his feet, grabbing him by his head and leading him over to the announce table. The announcers all rise from their seats as Chandler waves his hand at them, indicating that they should move. Madison kicks back into lift with a literal kick to the midsection of Chandler, who doubles over. Madison clubs him hard around the back before grabbing him by his injured arm, he wrenches it round, before taking down the champion with a lariat. He picks him up and rolls him into the ring before sliding in himself. Chandler uses the ropes to help himself up and Madison lets him, standing across the ring from Chandler. The boys outside are causing a ruckus and Madison turns to face them and says something, you can't hear what he's said but it's something of importance. Cashe and Knox look at one another and shrug their shoulders before looking back at Madison, who nods his head. dPEEg then make their way to the back.
Brien Storm: Madison doesn't need his boys out here tonight, apparently.
Wes Futhais: Well good on him, he said that he wants a clean fight and that's what we'll get.
Chandler watches dPEEg make their way up the entrance ramp before turning to Madison, his eyes questioning why Madison had just sent his companions up the entrance ramp. Madison points at Chandler and then points at himself, saying "you and me". He walks towards him and so does Chandler, the two men greeting each other in the middle of the ring and exchanging words. "I'm taking that title from you, on my own." says Madison. Chandler laughs, turning away for a split second before turning back and delivering a forearm strike. Madison then returns a strike of his own. Chandler delivers an elbow. Madison delivers an elbow. Chandler with a forearm, Madison with a forearm. Chandler with an elbow, Madison with an elbow.
The two alternate and continue this series of strikes for a good fifteen seconds before tiring up. Chandler tends to his arm once again, holding onto it and wincing in pain. Madison see's this as an opportunity to counter, delivering some ferocious strikes as he backs Chandler into the padded corner. He continues with the forearms, with each shot there's a venomous sting behind it. Madison then brings him forward a little before hitting him with an uppercut, Chandler falling back into the padded corner. Madison then tries to send him to the opposite corner but Chandler reverses, Madison hits the corner and immediately springs off of it like they were a set of ropes. He comes at Chandler with a low dropkick attempt but Chandler's reads it and moves out of the way. Madison's back hits the canvas and Chandler lays the boots on him. He shakes his head and walks around the ring, waving his finger in the air as if to say you're not going to get me this time, he's learned from his mistakes. Chandler then walks back over to Madison and brings him up, but Madison grabs him by the leg on his way up and holds it with Chandler struggling to remain on his feet. Chandler does however manages to get a forearm strike on Madison that breaks the two apart, but once again, it's the injured arm that he delivers the move with. Chandler then swings an arm looking for a lariat but Madison ducks underneath and manages to lock him in the fujiwara armbar submission hold! He pulls back on the injured arm and you can hear the pain behind the wails of Chandler Scott. The referee drops down to the canvas and asks whether the champion wants to quit, but Chandler refuses with a shake of his head, despite being in obvious discomfort. Chandler stretches his legs and manages to move bit by bit and makes it to the ropes, his leg clinging onto it. Madison pulls on it one last time despite Chandler already reaching the ropes before releasing.
Brien Storm: Chris Madison is applying a great amount of pressure to that arm of Chandler. You've got to wonder, how long will Chandler last if someone as skilled as Madison keeps working on his arm.
Wes Futhais: The only way you beat someone like Chandler Scott is forcing them to pass out, I'm convinced there's no other way.
The veteran gets to his feet and begins to stomp once again on the arm of Chandler, latching onto the top ropes and driving his foot into the arm relentlessly. He backs away and walks around the ring as Chandler clutches onto his arm, wincing in pain once again, but he shakes it off and gets to his knees. Madison brings him back up fully, snapmare so that Chandler lays on his back, grabbing his arm and throwing it down forcefully against the canvas. Chandler holds onto his elbow and this time does well to hide the pain, gritting his teeth as he sits up. The veteran does it again, throwing the arm of Chandler back down against the canvas with Chandler's reaction a lot worse than before as he kicks the canvas, trying to conceal his pain but he can't help it. Madison lays the arm against the canvas before stomping on it - grabbing it afterwards and driving his knee against the elbow of Chandler, who's reaching out to the ropes but is nowhere near them.
Wes Futhais: Damn, Madison isn't letting up anytime soon...
Brien Storm: He came in here with a game plan and he's sticking to it. He knows that this match can end with that Roaring Hammer and he's doing everything in his power to make sure that it doesn't. If Chandler can't use his arm, then its a win for Madison.
Transitioning the move into a short arm scissor after bringing him back to the center of the ring. Despite the pain that he's in, Chandler manages to roll through and pin Madison down, who still has the hold intact.
ONE
Madison manages to revert back to the submission after rolling through himself. Chandler wiggles his way around and uses his legs to reach the ropes. Applause rings through the arena directed at Chandler for his perseverance and strength to reach the ropes. Madison still has the hold intact and the referee is counting. Applause turns into boo's as Madison refuses to let up, shaking his head as he tightens the hold vigorously. He finally gets off him and gets to his feet whilst Chandler rolls to the apron. Mayhem Madison wipes the sweat that drips down his forehead and makes his way onto the apron, picking up a beaten Chandler and delivering another one of his gruesome strikes to the head. Chandler returns a strike of his own but feels the impact more than Madison does. Madison laughs and delivers another forearm, with Chandler returning with an elbow, but once again he's the one who's affected by it. Nevertheless, he delivers another one before grabbing Madison and dropping him onto the apron with a snap suplex!
Wes Futhais: Never count out Chandler, snap suplex to the hardest part of the ring!
Brien Storm: Jesus, that connection to the apron was painful to hear.
The challenger falls to the outside and holds onto the back of his head whilst Chandler tends to his arm, leaning against the edge of the apron as the fans applaud him for his efforts. The Pride of Puroresu Crown winner nods his head in appreciation but he knows that the battle is far from over. He's bought himself some time, looking at Madison who continues to hold onto the back of his head, the bump on the apron perhaps a little worse than he expected. Chandler rolls him into the ring, a strategic tactic that could see him being retain his title by count out perhaps?

Chandler shakes his arm before heading over to Madison and bringing him back up onto his feet. He lifts him up and high in a vertical suplex position and holds him there for a few seconds, before dropping him down to the canvas to perform the move. But he isn't done yet. He rolls through and manages to lift him up and high in another vertical suplex position, the fans applauding as he shows his incredible strength to keep Madison up in the air -- before dropping him back down to the canvas to perform the move. But he isn't done, not yet. Madison rolls through once again but instead of the vertical, he goes for a quick snap suplex into the padded corner and you can feel the impact as Madison goes crashing into the corner. Chandler then hooks the legs.

Brien Storm: The first two count of the match.
Wes Futhais: Forreal? Shit, these two just been beatin' the hell out of each other so bad they forgot about pins to win?
The champion brings him up and leads him to the corner, connecting with a series of boots to the midsection of Madison. Madison falls into a seated position and Chandler holds his boot against the face of Madison, the referee begins to count, and it takes Chandler to the count of four to finally let go. He walks away from Madison, running his fingers through his hair as he circles the ring once. He returns to him with Madison striking him right in the gut on his way up. He follows this with another strike to the gut, and another. But Chandler then drives his elbow in the back of the head of Madison, his elbow affected, but Madison more so as he stumbles back into the corner. Chandler then sends him to the opposite corner before following, Madison hits the padded corner and as Chandler approaches he manages to connect with a back elbow. Chandler stumbles backwards holding onto the side of his head and Madison approaches, Chandler then reacts with a kick to the gut and a snapmare into a seated position, he takes off to the ropes and bounces off of them rolling over Madison and pulling down on the back of his head for the rolling neck snap to connect. He covers.

Not enough!
By the corner, Madison helps himself up via the ropes and Chandler heads over to him, attempting to grab him but quickly Madison kicks his injured arm. He grabs onto it and kicks it again. He goes for another kick but Chandler grabs it and delivers a Dragon Screw Legwhip! Chandler brings him back up, snapmare into a seated position, takes off to the ropes -- bounces off of them, and delivers a sliding forearm smash to Madison! Madison rolls to the outside whilst the fans applaud Chandler for his efforts. Chandler lays on his back and closes his eyes, gritting his teeth as he stretches out his arm and reels it back in, once again using it despite the agony it's in. The referee heads outside to check on Madison whilst Chandler just lays there, stretching out his arm.
After a few seconds, Chandler rolls himself to the outside and tells the referee that he'll bring Madison back in, with the referee nodding his head and rolling himself back into the ring. Chandler grabs Madison and smashes him into the railing to the referee's disapproval and rolls back outside and warns Chandler, who holds his arms up. Chandler then grabs Madison by his head and brings him back up, managing to lift him up and onto his shoulders in a fireman's carry position. Madison slips down his back and turns him around, driving the back of Chandler into the guard railing! Madison then straightens Chandler out and delivers a flurry of strikes, one to the gut, another to the jaw, one to the side of the head - a combination in quick succession before bringing his arm over to the ring post and ramming it into it! And he does it again! And again! The referee begins his count and Madison jumps onto the apron. Chandler uses the railing to help himself up. Madison runs from one side of the apron to the other, flying off of it and toward Chandler, managing to connect with a double foot stomp!
Brien Storm: Double Footstomp into the guard railing!
Wes Futhais: Let's take another look!
REPLAY BOARD!
 Both men are back in the ring now after Madison picked Chandler up and rolled him back in as well as himself. Chandler leans against one corner whilst Madison leans against the other. Madison runs at Chandler and connects with a yakuza kick! He then takes off to the ropes as Chandler stumbles out of the corner, bouncing off of the ropes and taking him down with a Lou Thesz Press! He follows this with a total of twelve elbow strikes to the head of Chandler before getting up and roaring to the crowd, who give him a mixed reaction as he walks around the ring. Madison then returns to work on the arm, grabbing it and driving it back down to the canvas, before driving his knee into it! Picking Chandler up, suddenly Chandler delivers an elbow, which wasn't smart at all - he falls to a knee! Madison turns him around and delivers a Dragon Suplex. Without even taking a second to rest, Madison gets to his feet and brings Chandler back up with him and delivers another Dragon Suplex. And again, he's back up on his feet and brings Chandler up with him, grabbing him by his wrist whilst using his free hand to deliver blows to the arm of Chandler. He's absolutely tearing it apart with a number of strikes connecting and when he finally stops, he lets out another roar which is met with a negative reaction from the crowd. Madison waves for him to get up and gradually Chandler does. Madison takes off to the ropes and on his return he's met with a Sling Blade by Chandler Scott! The fans applaud. Chandler clutches to his arm. Brien Storm: It seems like every move Chandler tries is affecting him more than Madison. Wes Futhais: But he's doing well to keep up, I still think he's got a good chance of winning this!'CHAN - DE - LER!'
'CHAN - DE - LER!'
'CHAN - DE - LER!' Both men are in opposite corners. Chandler runs at Madison and delivers a flying elbow smash into him, again with his injured arm. Regardless, he ushers him out of the corner and lifts him up onto his shoulder, a fireman's carry position, before dropping the back of his neck down on his knee - the fireman's carry neckbreaker performed! Chandler feeds off of the energy of the fans and signals for the end, bringing his elbow pad back up as it began to slip down. He latches onto the ropes and lowers himself, waiting for Madison to get to his feet. Once he does, he makes his way over to him, spiraling his way round and looking for the Roaring Hammer but he doesn't connect. He follows through and staggers, holding onto his elbow and squinting in pain. He turns around and Madison runs at him, connecting with a bicycle knee to the head! Chandler falls to his knee but he isn't down yet, though his face looks out of it after that knee to the head! Madison then holds onto his arms, dragging him into and forcing his head to collide with his knee! It's impactful, the noise of the move sends an echo through the arena and Chandler crashes down to the canvas. Madison picks him up and grabs him from behind, rear waist lock and rolls backwards, they're back up -- and Madison delivers a German Suplex! The move is executed to perfection and Chandler holds onto the back of his head. Madison then brings him back up to his feet and takes off to the ropes, presumably looking to connect with another Yakuza kick. Madison bounces off and has no answer to the pinpoint dropkick performed by Chandler Scott! The fans cheer and applause and Chandler gets to his feet immediately and readjusts his elbow pad again! Madison gradually makes to his feet and Chandler spirals himself round, throws the arm out and Chandler grabs it! He grabs it in a flying motion! HE CATCHES THE ARM WITH A FLYING ARMBAR! Brien Storm: By God, Madison catches Chandler, who was going for the rolling elbow, with a flying armbar!Wes Futhais: That takes more than just skill Bri, that's anticipation!To say that it looks painful would somehow be an understatement! Madison has it fully locked in! Chandler is kicking his legs and shaking his head sideways, refusing to give up despite this gruesome hold breaking his arm! He's turning red and so is Madison, the seasoned veteran a master of the submission, and after working so hard to injure the arm of Chandler, he's now in a position where he can snap it off! He tightens the hold and screams, his mouth guard nearly falling out as he tries to apply as much pressure as possibly can. Brien Storm: Chris looks hellbent on snapping the arm of Chandler Scott!Wes Futhais: And it looks like he's going to do it!He stretches.
He wiggles!
He makes it!There's an explosion of applause that echoes through the Tokyo Dome. Madison wipes the sweat from his face.

Chandler manages to slip out of it, Chris Madison turns around and is hit with the Roaring Hammer by Chandler! He finally connects! He finally manages to connect with his finishing move but at what cost?! Chandler immediately drops to his knees and holds his arm, shaking in head as he grits his teeth, falling from his kneeling position and now on his back. Madison lays in the middle of the ring, seemingly unresponsive but Chandler can't even bring himself to make the crawl over, he's in too much pain. He fights through it, turning himself onto his back and uses his free elbow to move his way over to Madison. He lies on top of him for the cover! ... ONE
... ... TWO
... ... ... THRRRRRRRNOOOOOOOOO!He kicks out! Brien Storm: Chandler managed to get the roaring hammer but it's taken a toll on his arm! Wes Futhais: I can't believe what is happening right now, Bri!The arena is electric! It's rocking! It's unreal! Nursing his arm, Chandler gets to his feet. He brings Madison up too and looks for the DNA Driver (brainbuster; bloody sunday) but Madison manages to use his knees to fight his way down from the vertical position. He performs a Millennium Suplex (cross face chicken wing suplex) before picking him back up straight after. Madison grabs Chandler with a modified Muay Thai Clinch, trapping one of his arms. He leaps up into the air, swinging one of his legs well over Chandler's head while isolating the arm. Madison pulls Chandler down to the canvass into a tight arm bar submission hold. Brien Storm: This is it! This is how it all ends!Wes Futhais: It can't be!The referee is asking whether Chandler wants to quit but he refuses, gritting his teeth as he tries to conceal his pain yet again. He shakes his head, looking to get to the ropes but he's nowhere near them. He can't help but let out a cry, screaming as bangs his head against the canvas. The referee can call this match if he feels necessary but Chandler insists that the only way he's losing this match, is if he dies! But Chandler is fading. He's fading and there's nothing he can do about it! And as he fades... DING DING DING! The bell rings. Attention is drawn to the timer. It's been sixty minutes. This match, is over. Madison gets to his feet, holding his arms up in the air but he's confused. Where's the confetti? Where's his theme song? Why isn't anyone cheering him at all? He looks at the referee who explains what's happened. Madison can't believe it. He looks over at Chandler who's leaning against the corner in a seated position, holding onto his arm. He gets to his feet and the referee explains what's happened to Chandler. Mai Kado: (Ladies and Gentlemen, as a result of this match reaching it's time limit... this match has ended as a draw!)Boo's echo through the arena as both men argue with the official, asking for an extra five or ten minutes. Brien Storm: Well what happens now?Wes Futhais: I guess Chandler retains!Mai Kado: (And still, the NEW JAPAN FIGHTING CHAMPIONSHIP WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION... CHANDLER SCOTT)Chandler doesn't even flaunt the fact that he's still champion. He too is arguing with the official over the ending of this match. Madison and Chandler then look at one another, with 'Mayhem' Chris Madison then saying to Chandler, "this isn't over." He leaves the ring, dropping down to the outside and makes his way to the back as Chandler Scott stands in the middle of the ring, his title draped over his shoulder but he's paying closer attention to his battered arm, with a medical team now tending to him. |
