[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: Hiroshima! 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
Hiroshima Sun Plaza, where we will see the IJPW World Wrestling
Championship defended in the main event!
O'FLAHERTY:
Ronnie Doyle has pissed off a
lot of people by invoking his rematch clause and getting the match so
soon. Curt Fleischer beat him in the Death Crown Final and then beat
him for the World title weeks later. Ronnie lost two times to
Fleischer recently. What makes this compelling in a weird way is that
Doyle punches harder than anyone. Fleischer could throw him around
for most of the match, then get his head knocked off by the
Belfast brawler.
KURASAWA:
Then we'll probably see another
rematch!
O'FLAHERTY:
Well shit, that's how it's been
for the singles titles recently. Look at the Television Championship.
Tonight we finally get away from Shinagami/Dixon.
KURASAWA:
Shinagami went after the
Television Championship so he could lure the Naraku no Soko faction
into a war on his terms instead of chase them on theirs. He ran into
trouble when the former Arkansas cop wasn't going to let him off so
easily, and the two had a series that culminated on Monday when Dixon
said he was leaving Japan for a few months after Tuesday. But the
lights went off after the match. When they came back, three of Naraku
no Soko's members were beating down Shinagami, and Akuma Usami
stepped up to challenge Shinagami here tonight.
O'FLAHERTY:
This kind of match would have
been fitting for the FPW Arena Halloween Show. Both of them are
fitting for a horror film.
KURASAWA:
In other action tonight, we
have four Iron Road qualifies. John Scroggs is a heavy favorite
against Los Asesinos member Selena Martinez.
O'FLAHERTY:
The Baltimore bruiser is going
to smash her. We know Selena is capable of a surprise performance
when she took Danjuro Komatsuzaki close to 20 minutes during World
Crown, but Scroggs is a wrecking ball.
KURASAWA:
That's going to be our opener.
Roberto Lopez, another Los Asesinos member, will take on Lolly Lea in
qualifier action.
O'FLAHERTY:
A goober wearing Sawa's mask
vs. a jerk-off dream. I think Lopez wins. He has more to answer for
and will probably win.
KURASAWA:
The other two Iron Road matches
are Nicki Scherer vs. Killer Komukai and Ricky Doyle vs. Ginger
Mattingly. We have two eight-person tag team matches tonight. Nate
Narwin has announced an attempted road to recovery from drug and
alcohol addiction after a closely-fought war with Riddick led to a
Death Crown tournament exit. He teams with dojo student Masaru Maeda,
Albert Dixon, and a returning KANNON as they take on their Iron Road
qualifying opponents in Osaka on Tuesday – Raul La Escopeta, Miss
Lizzy, Fujimaro Odaka, and Kayoko Komon.
O'FLAHERTY:
We'll see the Ultraviolence
Union in the other eight-person match!
KURASAWA:
Your guys, Eric. Holt and
Shintaro failed to win their rematch for the IJPW World Tag Team
titles on Monday against Noble Power. World Tag Team Champions and
Team Crown holders Noble Power will be joined by their ally, Suda
Tsukasa – who beat Teiji Shintaro in Iron Road qualifying. Their
other partner is Jackie Walters. She knocked out Jun Hageshii in a
quick match to qualify for the Iron Road matches. Of course, Riddick
joins his Ultraviolence Union members after qualifying against Dave
Manton on Monday.
O'FLAHERTY:
Fuck knows how the man is still
walking, Yo. His body has been through hell in these last few weeks
and the World Crown holder is still fulfilling his dates. That goes
to show that he's the perfect man to be our first World Crown holder.
That rare toughness embodies Iron Japan Pro Wrestling.
KURASAWA:
With all of that said, let's
get tonight's action underway...

assault by putting the boots to Shinagami's ribs. They pull him to
his feet and Vera climbs the ropes. Usami lifts Shinagami vertically
in the air. Vera flies off the ropes with a missile dropkick to the
stomach, and Usami drops him with a brainbuster! Vera picks the TV
title back up and sends over Shinagami, raising the belt in the air!]

after the match. The fans are not happy with the roided up gaijin

out! Katsushika gets in the ring!]
O'FLAHERTY:
Riddick just pinned him before
this match! What the fuck is he doing out here, confronting the
champion?!
KURASAWA:
Katsushika has defeated
Fleischer both times they've met – once for the World title at the
Grand Opening and again in the World Crown Tournament! He's pinned
him in a multi-person tag match! He knows this eats away at
Fleischer! Katsushika hasn't invoked his rematch clause yet after
losing the World title at Violent Conduct!
O'FLAHERTY:
It looks like Fleischer wants
to fight him now! Here we go!
KURASAWA:
Fleischer and Katsushika are
trading blows! The dojo students are trying to break them up, but
they're getting swatted away like flies! These huge men are going to
tear the building down! Referees and security are rushing out now!
O'FLAHERTY:
So Katsushika gets pinned
earlier and now he's fighting for the World title?
KURASAWA:
It's the rematch clause, Eric!
Besides, Fleischer wants to fight him and looks like he would accept
a challenge anyway! He wants to prove he can beat Katsushika! Not
only do I think we have a main event set up for our Iron Road show in
Osaka, Eric, but as the head booker, I know what our FPW Arena
Halloween Show match will be!
O'FLAHERTY:
Uh oh...
KURASAWA:
For that show, we will see
Nobuyoki Katsushika, Isamu Shinagami, and Trista Capra vs. Curt
Fleischer, KANNON, and Vera Vicious! Katsushika and Fleischer!

our web site. That does it for us here tonight in Hiroshima. For Eric
O'Flaherty, I'm Yo Kurasawa. Good night and we will see you in
Fukuyama!
[We see a live shot of the crowd
still filing in. The scene cuts to legendary announcer Yo Kurasawa
and Eric O'Flaherty at the English language announce table.]
KURASAWA: Hello
and welcome to Iron Japan Pro Wrestling's first ever live English
language broadcast! We're on the Iron Road and this is our second
stop. We're in the Matsuyama City Community Center. I'm Yo Kurasawa.
Joining me is Pro Wrestling's Rogue Manager and founder of the
Ultraviolence Union, Eric O'Flaherty!
O'FLAHERTY:
First we did highlights
together for IJPW. Then they put us together at the announce table
for Death Trip Wrestling. Now here we are at ringside again, but this
time on the IJPW Network. It's always an honor to call the action
with you as long as you keep your hands above the time and promise to
use a tissue if you fail to control yourself.
KURASAWA: It's
been awhile since I've lost control, Eric. I won't lose control of
this opening bit either. The IJPW World Tag Team and Television
titles are on the line tonight. In Iron Road qualifying action,
Riddick takes on Dave Manton in a rematch of their World Crown
semi-final encounter. What are your thoughts going into any of those
matches?
O'FLAHERTY:
Riddick is still hurt from his
brutal Electric Barbed Wire Match against Kalinda Kriegsdottir last
week on DTW DeathTube. It's a miracle he's still standing after
taking a fucking dragon all the way to a draw. If Manton wants to
avenge his World Crown loss, then tonight is his best opportunity. As
for the main event for the Tag straps, the Ultraviolence Union vs.
Noble Power, I'm going to say that my lads successfully get the belts
back after invoking their rematch clause.
KURASAWA: Noble
Power has looked very good recently. They're carrying both the World
Tag Team belts and the Team Crown belts. Holt and Shintaro are a good
side, but they're up against the gentle giant and his girlfriend –
the most popular couple in all of Japan. Now Eric, who do you think
wins the TV title match between Isamu Shinagami and defending
champion Albert Dixon?
O'FLAHERTY:
Dixon will put an end to this
series with a win tonight and Shinagami will have to figure out new
way to bait Naraku no Soko.
KURASAWA: We
haven't seen any Naraku no Soko members since Death Crown last month.
None of their members have been spotted here tonight.
O'FLAHERTY: That
doesn't mean they won't show up, even if they're not booked.
KURASAWA: In
Iron Road qualifying action, we have: IJPW Dojo Master Danjuro
Komatsuzaki vs. one of his students – Haruhi Saramura, Detroit
street fighter Big Ugly vs. Italian beauty Florenza Peretz, and “The
Eternal Flame” Miyazaki Bokkai vs. Jocelin Masterson. In a preview
for next week's qualifiers, we have John Scroggs, Nicki Scherer,
Lolly Lea, and Ginger Mattingly vs. Los Asesinos members Roberto
Lopez and Selena Martinez, Killer Komukai, and Ricky Doyle.
O'FLAHERTY:
That's an interesting
eight-person. Scroggs knocked out Killer Komukai with a chokeslam in
a Japan vs. The World eight-person match at International Incident,
then beat him at Team Crown. We're also seeing Nicki Scherer and
Lolly Lea team up after Lolly and her group of dangerous divas tried
to put Scherer's partner, Muffin Vanderburg, on the shelf in a bid to
completely put Charm Explosion out of Team Crown action before
Scherer could recover from a broken arm.
KURASAWA: But
our first match of the night features winners from our first Iron
Road show, both from tournament and non-tournament action...

Dixon has just entered the ring, but now he's requesting a
microphone. One of the dojo students fetches it for him and he calls
for his music to stop.]
DIXON:
There's two
things I'm sick off! I'm sick of fighting that guy over there! What
kinda man paints their damn face for a fight? You think you're scary,
but ya just look like a dork! I'mma beat yer ass to tonight and end
this series. Now even if I do lose somehow, I ain't gonna ask for a
rematch! Even if I win, I ain't coming back to Japan after November
1st! At least not until Iron Road at Budokan! I don't care if they
tell me I gotta defend my TV title! I don't like having to be in this
damn country for more than a week, so after my Iron Road qualifier
next Tuesday, I'mma take my damn belt back to Arkansas and drink a
Coors and celebrate not being in this stupid country! The men are
weak and the women look like ironing boards! I like a bit of meat!
Now before I kick this guy's ass, I'mma shout out to the brave boys
in blue at the Pig Knuckles Police Department in my hometown! I'mma
bring my IJPW Television Championship belt back to the station 'n'
show it to everyone when I get back home next week!
[Shinagami is celebrating his victory.
He holds the title belt in the air for the fans to see and spews
green mist. Then the lights go out. When they come back on, we see
three members of Naraku no Soko beating him down in the middle of the
ring.]
KURASAWA:
Akuma Usami,
Vera Vicious, and Ashley Thorne are attacking the new Television
Champion!
O'FLAHERTY:
KANNON is still
missing and that's the man Shinagami wants to fight!
KURASAWA:
He can't worry
about KANNON now! Usami has him over his shoulders... BURNING HAMMER!
[The three Naraku no Soko members stand
over Shinagami. Usami picks up the TV title belt, puts a foot on
Shinagami's chest, points down at him, then points at himself, and
raises the belt in the air!]
KURASAWA:
Akuma Usami has
challenged Isamu Shinagami for the Television Championship! It's not
the man he wants, but he's finally baited Naraku no Soko with that
title belt!
O'FLAHERTY:
Isamubetter be careful what
he wishes for. This is a dangerous group of individuals who are
looking for the first belt to add to their collection. There's four
of them and one of him. I think this will be another short TV title
reign.

KURASAWA:
On Thursday in
Hiroshima, Ronnie Doyle gets a rematch against Curt Fleischer for the
IJPW World Wrestling Championship!
O'FLAHERTY:
It's bullshit,
Yo. I know he's a proud man, but Fleischer beat him in the Death
Crown Final and then beat him weeks later for the World title in
Fukuoka. Doyle's lost to him twice. The World title bout was a rather
convincing win for Fleischer too. I get that there's a rematch
clause, but Ronnie doesn't deserve this match. I know Fleischer beat
John Scroggs at Death Crown, but I'd like to see Scroggs finally get
a one-on-one match for the World title. He wasn't the one who got
knocked out in the triple threat at Violent Conduct.
KURASAWA:
We'll see
Scroggs in Iron Road qualification action in Hiroshima as he takes on
Selena Martinez. Also, we will see Isamu Shinagami defend his IJPW
Television Championship against Akuma Usami! That does it for us here
tonight in Matsuyama. It's a busy week of Iron Road action ahead of
us! For Eric O'Flaherty, I'm Yo Kurasawa. Good night, and we will see
you in Hiroshima on Thursday!
[The scene opens with an aerial shot

One is Yo Kurasawa - the legendary commentator, notorious pervert,
and current Vice President of Talent Relations and Head Booker for
Iron Japan. Next to him is Eric O'Flaherty – a pale man in an Irish
flat cap. A video screen is behind them.]
KURASAWA:
Welcome to the English language
highlights show for Iron Japan Pro Wrestling! I'm Yo Kurasawa. We're
coming to you from the Fukuoka Kokusai Center – our first stop on
the Iron Road! Which four competitors qualified for the 4 vs. 4 Iron
Road matches at Budokan Hall in January? You'll see, but that wasn't
all we had tonight. Death Crown holder Curt Fleischer took on Ronnie
Doyle for the IJPW World Wrestling Championship, and Isamu Shinagami
put his Television title on the line in a rematch from Death Crown as
he took on Albert Dixon. Joining me for these highlights is Eric
O'Flaherty – Pro Wrestling's Rogue Manager and founder of the
Ultraviolence Union.
O'FLAHERTY: This
is the third week in a row where I've worked with you on shows, Yo.
That's between Iron Japan and Death Trip Wrestling. And we'll work
together next week at the Nishinari Kumin Center for DeathTube in
Osaka. I'm not complaining though. As long as you keep those hands
above the table where I can see them.
KURASAWA: Let's
get these highlights underway...
Tag Team Match
Masuko
Matashichi and Masaru Maeda vs. Astro Honami and HATOYAMA
KURASAWA: Masuko
Matashichi and Masaru Maeda are the top students at the IJPW Dojo.
Masuko is the golden boy, while Masaru is the problem child. They're
both scheduled to compete in Iron Road qualifying matches. Tonight,
the students got their televised match! They took on the junior
heavyweight duo of Astro Honami and HATOYAMA – a regular team here
in IJPW, but they've been drawn against each other on the Iron Road!
That won't be until the Sapporo show on December 10th. The referee
for this match was Nene Hishikawa.
Eight Person Tag
Team Match
Riddick,
Big Ugly, Danjuro Komatsuzaki, and Jocelin Masterson vs. Dave Manton,
Miyazaki Bokkai, Florenza Peretz, and Haruhi Sarumara
KURASAWA:
These
eight competitors will be competing against each other in Iron Road
qualifying matches! This was an opportunity to draw first blood and
get some momentum before the October 24th show in Matsuyama. The
qualifying matches for that show are: Haruhi
Sarumara vs. Danjuro Komatsuzaki, Big Ugly vs. Florenza Peretz,
Miyazaki
Bokkai vs. Jocelin Masterson, and Riddick vs. Dave Manton. Sarumara
takes on on Dojo Master and Manton has a chance to get revenge after
being knocked out of the World Crown Tournament by the eventual
winner – Riddick. Toyoko Toshikura was the referee for this match.
Iron Road Qualifying
Match
Jona
Ziesemer vs. Tae Muraguchi
KURASAWA:
Jona
Ziesemer came into IJPW as one of the most gifted and innovative
wrestlers in the world, but the Berlin native crossed paths with your
client, Eric – Teiji “The Terror” Shintaro.
O'FLAHERTY:
Crossing
paths with Teiji can send anyone's life into a downward spiral. Jona
beat him in the World Crown Tournament, but Teiji got the last laugh
when he stabbed him in the throat with a fork. Then Teiji beat him at
Violent Conduct – Night Two. Ziesemer's been graying this whole
time.
KURASAWA:
Ziesemer
hoped to turn it around on the Iron Road, where he took on
lucharesu-style wrestler and one-half of the Tokyo Queens – Tae
Muraguchi. Tashiaki Suzuki was the referee for this match.
Iron Road Qualifying
Match
Ryuichi
Hojo vs. Fabulous Adrian Bagglio
KURASAWA:
Fabulous
Adrian Bagglio is coming off a lost feud with AKIO, and hoped to use
the Iron Road to move on. Ryuichi Hojo is another man who's badly
wanted to move on after losing a short feud to Muffin Vanderburg.
He's received great scorn for starting that feud in the first place
when he stuffed Muffin's head down his tights for a piledriver. He's
been the weak link in DanHojo and Danjuro Komatsuzaki has been public
with his disappoint. He says the students at the IJPW Dojo don't have
much respect for Hojo. While a lot of people wanted to see Hojo lose
tonight, the creepy FAB isn't a hero by any means. Cassidy Reischer
was the referee for this match.
KURASAWA: Jun
Hageshii has been considered the weak link of the Ultraviolence
Union. He tapped out to cost Riddick a shot at a Triple Crown at Team
Crown and tapped out to Riddick at Violent Conduct – Night One. It
took an explosion to put him down against Riddick in the first round
of the Death Crown Tournament. Two weeks later and Jun was up against
Jackie Walters – a gaijin woman who feels her deadly strikes can
put anyone down. The official for this match was Kuni Ariwara.
IJPW
Television Championship
Albert Dixon vs. (c) Isamu Shinagami
KURASAWA: Isamu
Shinagami returned from a brief North American tour at Violent
Conduct – Night Two and challenged the hated racist that this
Albert Dixon. Shinagami took a break from his war against Naraku no
Soko even on the domestic front and went for the IJPW Television
Championship, which he won at Death Crown – Night Two in a Landmine
Deathmatch. Shinagami then told Naraku no Soko to come at him!
However, nobody has seen or heard from Naraku no Soko since Death
Crown, but we've heard a lot from the former Arkansas cop on Twitter.
For someone who hates Japan so much, he couldn't trigger his rematch
clause and come back soon enough. Kanzaburo Outakara was the referee
for this match.
Iron Road Qualifying
Match
Teiji Shintaro vs. Suda Tsukasa
KURASAWA: Suda
Tsukasa is the oldest man on the IJPW roster and is hailed by many as
a puroresu icon. He's respected wherever he goes and is considered a
national treasure. Tonight, “The King of Korakuen Hall” took on a
national nightmare – a violent anarchist coprophile known as Teiji
“The Terror” Shintaro. The Fukuoka Kokusai Center was mostly
behind Tsukasa, but Teiji has his own fans who admire his
one-of-a-kind chaos and bloodshed. Masanori Katayanagi was the
referee for this match.
IJPW
World Wrestling Championship
Curt Fleischer vs. (c) Ronnie Doyle
KURASAWA: These
two men met in the Death Crown Final, where Fleischer came out on
top. Fleischer beat some top opposition, including John Scroggs – a
man many thought deserved a World title shot before the tournament.
Fleischer threw him out of the way and earned a shot against the
Belfast brawler. These are two of the most punishing and imposing men
in all of professional wrestling. Could Fleischer walk out with both
the Death Crown and World title belts over his shoulders? Or would
Ronnie avenge his loss in the Death Crown Final in his first World
title defense? Mabuchi Hida was the referee for this match.
BACK IN THE STUDIO...
KURASAWA: Eric,
what are your thoughts after tonight?
O'FLAHERTY: Well,
it's fucking disappointing to see Jun get knocked out like that. Then
the night got worse when Teiji failed to qualify for the Iron Road
matches at Budokan. Other than those two matches, the results went
exactly how I predicted. I knew Fleischer would become World
Champion. It makes me proud to see a fellow Twin Cities native take
the big gold belt. He's a bar-fighting legend back home. Ronnie has
the most dangerous punch in the world, but you need a shotgun to
knock out Fleischer.
KURASAWA: Our
next stop is the Matsuyama City Community Center on October 24th.
Here are the matches scheduled for that show...

Peretz, Masterson beats Bokkai, Dixon beats Shinagami to win this TV
