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...

IJPW Television Championship
Isamu Shinagami vs. (c) Albert Dixon

[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.

Eight-Person Tag Team Match

*** MAIN EVENT ***
IJPW World Tag Team Championship
Ultraviolence Union (Ricky Holt and Teiji Shintaro) vs. (c) Noble Power (Nobuyoki Katsushika and Sakura Shizuka)





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. So here's what our next week looks like in IJPW...

IJPW Iron Road: Hiroshima
October 27, 2016
Hiroshima Sun Plaza
Hiroshima, Japan

IJPW Iron Road: FPW Arena Halloween Show
October 31, 2016
Fukuyama Big Rose
Fukuyama, Japan

IJPW Iron Road: Osaka
November 1, 2016
Edion Arena Osaka
Osaka, Japan

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 show fades out and is followed by a rerun of the 10/17 of Death Trip Wrestling's Death Tube– The New Wave Tour...]
