IJPW Iron Road: Hiroshima

[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...

[Shinagami is celebrating with his title belt when Vera Vicious sprints to the ring, leaps onto the apron and quickly scales the ropes. Shinagami turns around into a flying knee to the face!

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!]

POST-MATCH

[Fleischer is flexing his muscles and showing off with the World title and Death Crown belts after the match. The fans are not happy with the roided up gaijin heel, but they soon behind to cheer when Nobuyoki Katsushika comes 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!
