Iron Road Teams Drawn

The four-person Iron Road teams were drawn at the Yamashi Building, Iron Japan Pro Wrestling's headquarters, in Tokyo earlier today. The first round matches will take place at Nippon Budokan on January 21, with the next round of matches taking place the following night.

Iron Road is a short tournament that starts with 4 vs. 4 elimination matches in the first round. However, eliminations carry over into the next round for advancing sides. At the end of the road, the remaining members on the last team will fight each other for a shot at the IJPW World Wrestling Championship in the Battle Bash main event at the Tokyo Dome.

The current IJPW World Wrestling Champion is John Scroggs. He will choose his own challenger if he wins Iron Road.

The first night at Budokan is as follows...

IJPW Iron Road: Yokohama

Date: December 23, 2016
Venue: Yokohama Arena
City: Yokohama, Japan
Japanese Commentators: Taka Shimura and “Samurai X” Misao Sakurai
English Commentators: Yo Kurasawa and Eric O'Flaherty

Iron Road Qualifying Match
Morio Kamisaka vs. Vera Vicious

Kamisaka dedicated this match to his tag partner, Michinori Osaragi, who got his neck broken in May during the World Crown Tournament. He faced a difficult challenge by taking on IJPW Television Champion and Naraku no Soko member Vera Vicious.


Iron Road Qualifying Match
Ashley Thorne vs. Muffin Vanderburg

Thorne represented Naraku no Soko as she took on gaijin fan favorite Muffin Vanderburg.


Tag Team Match
Naraku no Soko (KANNON and Akuma Usami) vs. Isamu Shinagami and Trista Capra

Naraku no Soko faced another battle in Yokohama as KANNON and Usami took on Isamu Shinagami and “The Original Deathmatch Queen” Trista Capra – two individuals who have declared war on the dark faction, but have yet to form anything beyond an informal alliance.


Six-Person Tag Team Match
Doyle Brothers (Ricky Doyle and Ronnie Doyle) and Suda Tsukasa vs. Dave Manton, Stan Ward, and Fabulous Adrian Bagglio

At Iron Road: Sapporo, the Doyle Brothers earned a shot at the IJPW World Tag Team Championship after beating Manton and Ward, while Tsukasa continued his Indian summer by defeating FAB for a shot at the IJPW Television Championship. While Manton, Ward, and FAB came up short in their number one contender matches in Sapporo, they had a chance to get a little bit of revenge in Yokohama.



Iron Road Qualifying Match
Nobuyoki Katsushika vs. J Murda

Katsushika defeated J Murda in the second round of the World Crown Tournament in May. Murda had a chance for revenge, but it was a tall task as he took on the beloved giant who's itching to get back on top in Iron Japan Pro Wrestling. Katsushika is one-half of the World Tag Team Champions and Team Crown holders, but everyone knows he feels incomplete without the IJPW World Wrestling Championship. Katsushika hasn't been shy about his intentions to be known as the first Ace of IJPW.



Iron Road Qualifying Match
Sakura Shizuka vs. Curt Fleischer

Fleischer defeated Shizuka at World Crown – Night Seven in a non-tournament match. Shizuka is the girlfriend and tag team partner of Nobuyoki Katsushika, and Fleischer has run into him a few times this past year in some memorable bouts. The rivalry between Fleischer and the Noble Power couple continued in Yokohama.


Six-Person Tag Team Match
Ultraviolence Union (Ricky Holt, Teiji Shintaro and Jun Hageshii) vs. Jona Ziesemer, El Loco, and Jackie Walters

Ricky Holt continued his year-long feud with former mentor and legendary luchadore El Loco, who has had a 2016 to forget. Jona Ziesemer has had a year to forget too. After one victory over Shintaro in the World Crown Tournament, Jona has endured a never-ending nightmare that has seen him get stabbed in the throat with a fork and lose to Shintaro. Hageshii looked to finally get payback after famously getting knocked out quickly by Jackie Walters in Iron Road qualifying in Fukuoka. Hageshii has been seen as the weak link in the Ultraviolence Union because he's tapped out numerous times to cost his team the match.


*** MAIN EVENT ***
IJPW World Wrestling Championship
Riddick vs. (c) John Scroggs

Riddick is the current IJPW World Crown holder. He defeated John Scroggs in the tournament final at the Tokyo Dome in May, and he used that reasoning when challenging Scroggs to a title match at the Yokohama Arena. Riddick has kept up a hectic schedule while competing in both IJPW and Death Trip Wrestling, and fans saw it catch up to him when John Scroggs knocked him out with a chokeslam in Sapporo during an eight-person tag team match.


Monday, December 12, 2016

IJPW Iron Road: Sapporo

Date: December 10, 2016

City: Sapporo, Japan
Japanese Commentators: Taka Shimura and “Samurai X” Misao Sakurai
English Commentators: Yo Kurasawa and Eric O'Flaherty

Iron Road Qualifying Match
Nayoko Kon vs. AKIO

Kon, a student at the IJPW Dojo, came in needing a big upset against a popular fan favorite.



Iron Road Qualifying Match
Takamuku Arai vs. Hirano Denbe

Takamuku Arai has continued to make the transition from sumo wrestling to professional wrestling with impressive results, but the Sumo Hall Playboy drew the ire of Hirano Denbe – one of the ruthless straight-faced trainers at the IJPW Dojo.



Iron Road Qualifying Match
Astro Honami vs. HATOYAMA

These two junior heavyweights have been a tag team. While they have fought each other before, the stakes were never higher as these two knew that a World title shot was at the end of the Iron Road!


Iron Road Qualifying Match
Lainey Boyle vs. Isamu Shinagami

Two former IJPW Television Champions collided! Shinagami lost the belt more recently and has hit a bump in the road in his battle with Naraku no Soko. In Sapporo, he found himself against the feisty Boston Bitch!



#1 Contender for IJPW Television Championship
Suda Tsukasa vs. Fabulous Adrian Bagglio

Both of these men qualified for the Iron Road matches at Budokan Hall in January. In Sapporo, after putting in impressive performances since the start of the Iron Road, these two men fought for a shot at Vera Vicious' IJPW Television Championship!



#1 Contenders for IJPW World Tag Team Championship
Doyle Brothers (Ricky Doyle and Ronnie Doyle) vs. Dave Manton and Stan Ward

Two hard-hitting gaijin tag teams competed for a shot at the World Tag Team Championship, which is held by Team Crown holders Nobuyoki Katsushika and Sakura Shizuka – Noble Power.



Eight-Person Tag Team Match
Noble Power (Nobuyoki Katsushika and Sakura Shizuka), Muffin Vanderburg, and Morio Kamisaka vs. Curt Fleischer, Naraku no Soko (Ashley Thorne and Vera Vicious), and J Murda

A preview for the Iron Road qualifiers in Yokohama on December 23, where we will see: Death Crown holder Curt Fleischer vs. World Tag Team Champion and Team Crown holder Sakura Shizua, World Tag Team Champion and Team Crown holder Nobuyoki Katsushika vs. J Murda, Ashley Thorne vs. Muffin Vanderburg, and IJPW Television Champion Vera Vicious vs. Morio Kamisaka. Katsushika has had a few memorable battles with Fleischer this past year, with Fleischer winning the last one in defense of the World Wrestling Championship. Noble Power and Thorne/Vicious have fought in the Team Crown Final and in a Landmine Deathmatch for the World Tag Team titles, with Noble Power winning both times. Vicious and Shizuka have been locked in a feud, where Vicious recently successfully defended her TV title against her rival.



*** MAIN EVENT ***
Eight-Person Tag Team Match
Ultraviolence Union (Riddick, Ricky Holt, Teiji Shintaro, and Jun Hageshii) vs. John Scroggs, Nate Narwin, Jona Ziesemer, and El Loco

John Scroggs will defend the IJPW World Wrestling Championship against World Crown holder Riddick at Yokohama Arena on December 23. Riddick defeated Scroggs in the World Crown Final at the Tokyo Dome in May. Ricky Holt has been in a heated rivalry with legendary junior heavyweight El Loco, who once trained Holt. Loco lost their only singles encounter so far. Teiji Shintaro's stabbing on Jona Ziesemer in the throat still haunts the German man, who beat Teiji in the World Crown Tournament, but has lost to him in other encounters. Nate Narwin lost to Riddick in a brutal Death Crown Tournament match and, while him and Riddick have a lot of respect for one another, Narwin looked to get revenge. Narwin and Scroggs are known to hang out together backstage, but their friendship doesn't go further than that.

IJPW Iron Road: Sendai

[The show starts with an overhead shot of the arena. We see fans are still filing in and getting to their seats. The scene cuts to legendary commentator Yo Kurasawa and Eric O'Flaherty at ringside.]

KURASAWA: Welcome to live English language commentary for IJPW Iron Road: Sendai! We're at the Sendai Sun Plaza! I'm Yo Kurasawa. Joining me at ringside is Pro Wrestling's Rogue Manager and founder of the Ultraviolence Union, Eric O'Flaherty. Tonight's main event will see the IJPW World Wrestling Championship on the line when Curt Fleischer defends against John Scroggs! Fleischer defeated Scroggs in the Death Crown Tournament and leaped over him for World title contention. This has upset Scroggs, who is a World Crown runner-up. He defeated the World Champion at the time in that tournament, then lost in a Triple Threat Match for the World title because Ronnie Doyle knocked out Nobuyoki Katsushika! Scroggs attacked Fleischer after he defended the title against Katsushika in Osaka, and now he finally gets his one-on-one match for the World title!

O'FLAHERTY: I'm gonna go with Fleischer. Both of them are big and mean, but Fleischer is bigger and meaner. Both of them cut their teeth in barrooms, but Fleischer isn't just a barroom brawler. He can make people submit! He has more to his game. I'm calling it. Fleischer will successfully defend the strap!

KURASAWA: He has to if he wants to go to Budokan with the belt. He's booked in a multi-person tag team match and an Iron Road qualifier in the next two shows. If he loses tonight, he won't be able to get a rematch for the belt until March at the earliest! Also, the IJPW Television Championship will be defended in a big grudge match! Vera Vicious accepted the challenge from Sakura Shizuka, who's one-half of the IJPW World Tag Team Champions and Team Crown holders. Shizuka has been on the winning side in the Team Crown Final. Then, as World Tag Team Champions, Noble Power actually picked Vera Vicious and Ashley Thorne to defend against at Death Crown. There's been bad blood before Vera was brainwashed by Naraku no Soko. She was part of the many who accused Shizuka of sleeping with Katsushika just to get to the top and have herself a formidable partner!

The other members of Naraku no Soko will take on two of your Union guys, who are teaming with Trista Capra!

O'FLAHERTY: Riddick and Teiji “The Terror” Shintaro will team with “The Original Deathmatch Queen” Trista Capra. I'm more than okay with this.

KURASAWA: Capra's in a battle with Naraku no Soko after they turned Ashley Thorne against her. We'll see how well she does when she teams with two members of the Ultraviolence Union tonight. Ricky Holt will represent the Ultraviolence Union when he takes on Sun Demon in Iron Road qualifying action. Also in the qualifiers, we will see Nori Imoo vs. Lorie Koenig, and Markie Bristow vs. Stan Ward. But the highest profile qualifier is El Loco vs. “The Queen” Mercy Monroe. El Loco is a 17-time SWA Cruiserweight Champion, but his 2016 has been a year to forget. He can turn it all around and give himself new life by beating Monroe. With all that said, let's get tonight's action underway!

POST-MATCH HIGHLIGHTS

[Scroggs is celebrating in the ring with the IJPW World Wrestling Championship in the air. We then hear a mixed reaction when Riddick comes out with a microphone in hand and the IJPW World Crown belt over his shoulder. He climbs into the ring and steps right up to Scroggs, who is handed a microphone.]

RIDDICK: Congratulations on winning the World title. I know you're a worthy champion because you beat the hell out of me in the World Crown Final, but as you probably remember...
[Riddick raises the World Crown belt in the air.]
I won, and I got to carry this fucking thing around for at least a year. I lost to Cat Shit a month later in my World title opportunity, but ya know what? I fucking pinned him not too long ago. I would've left Nagoya as a World Tag Team Champion if my partner didn't shit out on me again... That mother fucker! But ya know what? I've been on it in IJPW recently, and I'm glad you won the World title, John... because I fucking beat you once. I can beat you again. As far as I'm concerned, I deserve a shot at the World title! December 23rd, John... You and me at the Yokohama Arena! I know how much it pisses you off that you couldn't beat me in the World Crown Final!

SCROGGS: Ya know... I could say no and ask ya what the fuck you think you did to get a World title shot. I couldn't give a fuck about what you did in a tag team match. But you're right. It pisses me off that I couldn't beat you in the World Crown Final. It pisses me off that I couldn't beat you in a Tokyo Dome main event. You wanna know what else pisses me off? They call you the most revered gaijin. That's all I hear about. They put your name above mine without question.

RIDDICK: And for good reason. I walked through hell to get that recognition.

SCROGGS: So have I! So ya know what? December 23rd at the Yokohama Arena? You're on! I'll beat my fucking win back and I'll start my reign of terror in IJPW, because this fucking belt isn't going anywhere!

IJPW Iron Road: Nagoya

[The show starts with an overhead shot of the arena. We see fans are still filing in and getting to their seats. The scene cuts to legendary commentator Yo Kurasawa and Eric O'Flaherty at ringside.]

KURASAWA: Welcome to live English language commentary for IJPW Iron Road: Nagoya! I'm Yo Kurasawa. Joining me is Pro Wrestling's Rogue Manager and founder of the Ultravioelence Union, Eric O'Flaherty. We're live from the Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium, where we will see the IJPW World Tag Team Championship defended in the main event. Riddick pinned Nobuyoki Katsushika in a multi-person tag team match a few weeks ago in Hiroshima. Him and Jun Hageshii attacked Katsushika after he failed to beat Curt Fleischer for the World title in Osaka. Noble Power, the Team Crown holders, will defend the World Tag Team titles against the Ultraviolence Union members in tonight's main event!

O'FLAHERTY: The belts are coming back to the Union!

KURASAWA: Also, the IJPW Television Championship is on the line when Vera Vicious defends against Isamu Shinagami in a rematch. Shinagami win the TV title so he could draw Naraku no Soko into a war, but now they have the belt. Can Shinagami win the belt back, or will Vera cast him aside and push Naraku no Soko onward?

Of course, we have Iron Road qualifying action. Two IJPW Dojo students will get big opportunities tonight. Atsumori Nakadai takes on joshi star Satomi Asano, while Masuko Matashichi takes on “The Centerfold” Mallory Northway. We'll see two hardcore icons fight when “The Original Deathmatch Queen” Trista Capra takes on “The Hardcore Lumberjack” Paul Cannon, and Akuma Usami will fly the Naraku no Soko flag against a former World Champion and World Tag Team Champion – the Belfast brawler, Ronnie Doyle.

In eight-person action, we will see: Nate Narwin, Teiji Shintaro, KANNON, and Fabulous Adrian Bagglio vs. Raul La Escopeta, Suda Tsukasa, Ricky Doyle, and Miyazaki Bokkai. Narwin defeated Escopeta to qualify for the Iron Road matches. Teiji Shintaro and Suda Tsukasa have run into each other after Tsukasa advanced over Teiji The Terror. Bokkai isn't any friend to KANNON or the rest of Naraku no Soko, and Ricky Doyle is looking for a fight tonight.

The other eight-person match will preview the Iron Road matches on the 28th in Sendai. Mercy Monroe, Ricky Holt, Stan Ward, and Lorie Koenig vs. El Loco, Markie Bristow, Sun Demon, and Nori Imoo. Holt and Loco continue their feud after Holt got a win over him at Violent Conduct!

O'FLAHERTY: That pesky fucker El Loco just won't go away.

KURASAWA: Now let's get this show underway...

POST-MATCH

 [The power couple of Katsushika and Shizuka are celebrating in the ring with their World Tag Team title belts and Team Crown belts. At ringside, Jun is leaning up against the apron when Riddick bounces his head off it! Riddick throws him into the guardrail and lays into him with some boots to the head before choking him! The dojo students swarm Riddick and pull him away.]

KURASAWA: Riddick attacking Jun once again after a match!

O'FLAHERTY: Jun's gotta quit fucking letting us down! I'm getting sick of defending him to Riddick!
[Back in the ring, Sakura Shizuka has a microphone.]

SHIZUKA: [In Japanese.] Thank for coming out tonight and cheering for us! Nobu and I greatly appreciate it! We love defending the World Tag Team titles. We plan on keeping these belts for a long time and holding them along with the Team Crown belts. But I have my sights set on singles gold... I saw my enemy, Vera Vicious, defending the Television title in a rematch tonight. Some might be afraid to take on a member of Naraku no Soko, but not me! I have fought you before, Vera! I have been on the winning side, and now I want to fight you again! You and me for the Television title in Sendai! Let's do it!

ENDING

KURASAWA: That does it for us here in Nagoya. Join us on November 28th at the Sendai Gymnasium, where Curt Fleischer will defend the IJPW World Wrestling Championship against John Scroggs! In Iron Road qualifiers; we will see Mercy Monroe vs. El Loco, Ricky Holt vs. Sun Demon, Markie Bristow vs. Stan Ward, and Nori Imoo vs. Lorie Koenig. Also, we'll see a huge rivalry match! Sakura Shizuka has challenged Vera Vicious to a match for the IJPW Television Championship, and we just got word that Vera has accepted! That's going to be a big show in Sendai. For Eric O'Flaherty, I'm Yo Kurasawa. Good night from Nagoya!

IJPW Iron Road: Osaka

[The show starts with an overhead shot of the arena. We see fans are still filing in and getting to their seats. The scene cuts to legendary commentator Yo Kurasawa and Eric O'Flaherty at ringside.]

KURASAWA: Welcome to live English language commentary for IJPW Iron Road: Osaka! I'm Yo Kurasawa. Joining me is Pro Wrestling's Rogue Manager and founder of the Ultraviolence Union, Eric O'Flaherty. We're coming to you from the Edion Arena, we we will see both the IJPW World Wrestling Championship and Television Championship defended in what promises to be two heated encounters!

O'FLAHERTY: We were in Fukuyama last night for the Fire Pro “Trick or Beat” Halloween collaboration. Those champions were on opposite sides of the ring in the six-person main event, where Curt Fleischer got a win for his side by making Trista Capra tap out. He wants to finally score a win against the native hero, Nobuyoki Katsushika, who already carries the World Tag Team title and Team Crown belts. I think Fleischer does it tonight. The raging St. Paul man is going to slay the gentle giant of Japan!

KURASAWA: That match also saw the war between TV Champion Isamu Shinagami and Naraku no Soko continue. Shinagami defends his title tonight against Vera Vicious, who hopes to be the first member of Naraku no Soko to bring in some championship gold! Also on the card; the Ultraviolence Union takes on John Scroggs, Suda Tsukasa, Sakura Shizuka, and Jackie Walters! Scroggs qualified for the Iron Road matches back in Hiroshima, and now he gets a chance to get his hands on Riddick tonight. Riddick beat him in the World Crown Final. Teiji “The Terror” Shintaro wants to get his hands on Suda Tsukasa, who beat him in Iron Road qualifying. Shizuka, one-half of the World Tag Team Champions, has beef with Holt and Shintaro – who failed to win back the straps against Noble Power in Matsuyama. Meanwhile, Jun Hageshii wants to get payback on Jackie Walters – who humiliatingly knocked him out in a quick match to qualify for the Iron Road matches!

O'FLAHERTY: Jun is so much better than that. Riddick is putting a lot of pressure on the young man, and I think Jun can succeed. Imagine if he gets someone like Scroggs to tap out? Everyone would change their tune very quickly.

KURASAWA: In a preview for the Iron Road qualifiers in Nagoya on November 12th, we will see an eight-person tag team match: Mallory “The Centerfold” Northway, Belfast brawler Ronnie Doyle, “The Original Deathmatch Queen” Trista Capra, and IJPW Dojo student Atsumori Nakadai vs. Naraku no Soko member Akuma Usami, “The Hardcore Lumberjack” Paul Cannon, Satomi Asano, and IJPW Dojo student Masuko Matashichi.

O'FLAHERTY: Ronnie Doyle is coming off a disappointing run with the World title. I can see him knocking someone out to make a statement. He knocked out Paul Cannon in the Death Crown Tournament.

KURASAWA: Of course, there's the Iron Road qualifying matches. Nate Narwin pinned Fujimaro Odaka in an eight-person tag match in Hiroshima. Tonight, Narwin continues his road to recovery from drugs and alcohol as he takes on Raul La Escopeta – a man who was trained by Narwin's former tag team partner, El Loco. We all know how Narwin led Loco down a path of drugs and alcohol and derailed the career of the 17-time SWA Cruiserweight Champion. Loco pulled himself out of that. Now Narwin faces one of Loco's former students during his own recovery. Also, KANNON takes on Australia's Miss Lizzy in his first singles match since losing to a man he brainwashed into Naraku no Soko in the Death Crown Tournament. He still hasn't commented on that other than saying the plan is to bring the World title to Naraku no Soko.

O'FLAHERTY: Fleischer beat Akuma Usami in Death Crown, unlike KANNON. Fleischer then won the whole thing, and he's the World Champion right now. I can see Fleischer holding the strap for a long time. I think KANNON beats Miss Lizzy tonight, but the guy can't even be fucked to put Isamu Shinagami away himself. He wants go for the World title? Ha! Naraku no Soko is a good group, but Fleischer doesn't need to dress in black and wear a mask to scare people.

KURASAWA: Fujimaro Odaka takes on former TV Champion Albert Dixon. Dixon, the notoriously racist ex-cop and former college football offensive lineman from Arkansas, says he's leaving Japan after tonight's match – regardless of the result. He'll only come back for the Iron Road shows at Budokan Hall if he qualifies tonight. The man hates Japan and he's said some vile shit. But we start tonight with Kayoko Komon vs. Masaru Maeda in qualifying action. Komon pinned the IJPW Dojo student last night in a six-person tag team match during the dark match portion of our Halloween show last night. Maeda is quickly gaining a reputation as a bad apple and a nasty man. Will he take that out on Komon tonight? We'll find out!

[The dojo students jump into the ring but Naraku no Soko just punches and kicks them right back out. KANNON scoops Shinagami off the canvas, throws him over his shoulder, then slams him with the Emerald Flowsion!]

KURASAWA: Naraku no Soko have made a statement! They haven't just taken the title from Shinagami! They've beaten him down! But look! Finally we get some help! Trista Capra and Miyazaki Bokkai are in there! Look! It's Sakura Shizuka too!

O'FLAHERTY: Shizuka still has a match against the Ultraviolence Union tonight! This might not be the best idea!

POST-MATCH

[Fleischer is still in the ring, flexing and showing off both the World title and Death Crown belts. Katsushika is going back to the dressing room when Riddick and Jun Hageshii emerge from the other entryway with bats wrapped in barbed wire! They run around the ring and Katsushika can hear the fans and their mixed reaction, but it's too late when he turns around!]

KURASAWA: Riddick and Jun are assaulting Katsushika! Did you guys plan this, Eric?

O'FLAHERTY: I suggested it...

KURASAWA: Damn it, Eric!

O'FLAHERTY: Riddick pinned Katsushika in that multi-person tag match in Hiroshima! Then Katsushika came out later and demanded a shot at the fucking World title! What the fuck is that? What about Riddick?! This is our way of saying that him and Shizuka should put their World Tag Team Championship on the line against Riddick and Hageshii!

KURASAWA: Here comes Shizuka right now! She has Tsukasa with her and they both have chairs! Here comes Holt and TEIJI SHINTARO! OH FUCK! IT'S ALWAYS A SERIOUS SITUATION WHEN SHINTARO IS OUT! NOW LOOK AT THIS! IT'S THE DOYLE BROTHERS! THEY'RE HELPING NOBLE POWER AND TSUKASA! WE HAVE AN OSAKA STREET FIGHT ALL OVER RINGSIDE! FLEISCHER IS GETTING IN ON THE ACTION! HE'S HITTING EVERYONE IN SIGHT!

O'FLAHERTY: Look at who else is joining the mayhem! John Scroggs!

KURASAWA: Scroggs is going after Fleischer at ringside! Teiji is fighting through the crowd with Tsukasa! Riddick and Hageshii are brawling with the World Tag Team Champions in the entryway! Ricky and Ronnie Doyle are stomping down on Holt at ringside! This is chaos! We have referees, security, and dojo students desperately trying to break all of this up!

O'FLAHERTY: This is all going to fester before the Nagoya show on the 12th, Yo!

KURASAWA: That does it for us here tonight. Some people will have to work overtime in cleaning all this up, but we're done. For Eric O'Flaherty, I'm Yo Kurasawa. Good night from Osaka!
