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!

POST-MATCH

[Vera Vicious celebrates with her newly-won Television Championship belt. KANNON, Akuma Usami, and Ashley Thorne walk out and get in the ring. All four of them are stomping down on Isamu Shinagami!]

KURASAWA: This is the war Shinagami wanted! He won the TV title to draw Naraku no Soko into battle! Now Vera took his title and they're beating him down! Thorne has him up now for THAT SIT-OUT POWERBOMB!

[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!

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...

POST-MATCH

[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! Vera picks up his title belt, mounts on him, then carries out a violent attack by bludgeoning him with the belt! Usami aids in the 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!]

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! Shinagami and Capra get their hands on Naraku no Soko! It's perfect for Halloween! This is what our newly-added show in Fukuyama will look like on Monday...

IJPW Iron Road: Matsuyama

[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...

[Shinagami stands in his corner – his dramatic entrance having captivated the crowd for this bout. Albert 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: Isamu better 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: We have a few announcements to make before we close our show. There's been an additional Iron Road show added on October 31st at the Fukuyama Big Rose. The main event will be a part of FPW Arena's Halloween Show! We will have six matches total, with two matches on the IJPW Network before the main event.

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!

IJPW Iron Road: Fukuoka

[The scene opens with an aerial shot of a temporary studio set. There are two men sitting behind a desk. 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.



Iron Road Qualifying Match
Jackie Walters vs. Jun Hageshii

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...
