PUNQ Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 STYLE-E on COMM - November 15, 2008, Tokyo - (2 hrs)     November 15, 2008, Tokyo - Nishi-Choufu Sport-Combat Arena (109 fans)   1. Shinya Ishikawa -vs- Leono [3/4*] --- Rookie fighting where Big Japan's Ishikawa was in fairly good control over this indy guy who wasn't the worst I've seen. Straight serious wrestling of the basic as it gets kind, but it was done professionally before Ishikawa had Leono tap to the single leg crab hold. 8:50 of 9:25 - Ishikawa made Leono submit to a single leg crab    2. Chou-un Shiryu & Toshihiro Sueyoshi & Yukihiro Abe -vs- DT-YUTA & Shota & Masked Robot [* 1/4] --- Fine indy wrestling. Action based of course as they've little to fight for. Except after the match Shiryu's team wanted to humuliate the masked guy some more and Sanshiro Takagi came to his rescue! But as for the match it was a typical affair with some nice moves, some half-lame stuff, but overall a decent filler tag which Shiryu won with a footstomp from high up to beat Masked Robot. 13:13 of 13:16 - Shiryu pinned Robot after a top rope single-foot stomp    3. Tomohiko Hashimoto -vs- Shoichi Uchida [*] --- Hashimoto is far from being in good shape. He's big and he knows a few moves, but he's not looking very match-fit to make this one work as well as they lay-out promised. Uchida as the smaller got his cradles offence and even managed to lift the big guy a few times for suplexes. But Hashimoto knows submissions and nearly had Uchida beat with a crossface, but in the end the usual throwing around worked better for Hashimoto. 9:51 of 10:11 - Hashimoto pinned Uchida after a throat slam    4. Tomomitsu Matsunaga & Masahiro Takanashi -vs- Keita Yano & Masato Shibata [* 1/2] --- This was a good pairing. Takanashi and Yano cound fight on even terms and the more heavyweight guys Matsunaga and Shibata could battle in a more natural way for them. And the big guys did the finish with Matsunaga looking much sharper rolling Shibata up in cradles before having him trapped in a shoulder hold resulting in the match having to be stopped. Otherwise the usual decent indy action without going anywhere. 14:16 of 14:18 - Matsunaga defeated Shibata with a shoulder lock    5. Masashi Takeda -vs- Ken Ohka [* 1/2] --- I didn't expect much from a Ohka singles bout, but they created some drama with this like with Takeda's busted nose with Ohka ripping off the bandage making Takeda's nose bleed and then attacking and rubbing it. In return Takeda looked to have Ohka in a lot of trouble with sleepers and nearly beat him that way had not Shiryu and crew run in to help. But that didn't stop Takeda from winning as after Ohka had his final rush of energy headbutting Takeda, Ohka was German'ed for the three. 11:10 of 11:00 - Takeda pinned Ohka with a German Suplex    COMMENTS: While it does look very low-rent indy, I feel Pro Wrestling Style-Enternainment does get some decent results out of their product. They even got a ok singles bout out of Ken Ohka!   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNQ Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 STYLE-E on COMM - December 19, 2008, Tokyo - (2 hrs)     December 19, 2008, Tokyo - Nishi-Choufu Sport-Combat Arena   1. Shinya Ishikawa & Atsushi Ohashi -vs- DT-YUTA & Shota [1/2*] --- The wrestling wasn't bad in a very basic way, but then came the digital fuck-ups which made us miss the end..... 8:47 - Ishikawa made Shota submit to a single leg crab    2. Sanshiro Takagi & Masked Robot -vs- Ken Ohka & Yukihiro Abe [* 1/2] --- This match was set-up on the last Style-E show where Takagi came to that masked guys rescue with a big mouth Ohka wanting to challenge Takagi joining in this tag. Got to laugh at Takagi who almost beat Ohka too early with a sleeper having to hold up Ohka's arm on the third try to keep the match going. Otherwise the Robot guy was bullied a lot with the heels going for his mask. That got on Robots nerves who took off the mask revealing Style-E's own Kazuhiro Tamura who went into Tamura mode kicking everyone apart and making Abe tap in no time for a hot finish. 11:52 - Robot made Abe submit to a cross-armbreaker    3. Toshihiro Sueyoshi -vs- Shoichi Uchida [* 1/4] --- A long singles bout which kept varying between really weak to actually being good. So it was difficult to really know how to feel about it as the quality kept swinging all the time. Mostly Sueyoshi's fault as his offence was trully weak at times, especially since he's a shooter wannabe. Uchida did get some hot moments like the MDII and Fire Thunder piledriver but was unable to get any pin. Instead Sueyoshi came with elbows and won that war. 16:44 - Sueyoshi pinned Uchida after a leeping elbow smash    4. Masato Shibata -vs- Tomomitsu Matsunaga [*] --- Shibata getting his win back over Matsunaga after getting locked in the shoulder hold during a tag match on the last Style-E show. But it was tough for him as Matsunaga had friends to help him work over Shibata's leg making moving very difficult for the big guy. But he fought back using the power he has and locked Matsunaga in a sleeper for the match to get stopped. Didn't get too excited about this one. 10:43 - Shibata defeated Matsunaga with a sleeper    5. Masahiro Takanashi -vs- Masashi Takeda [** 1/2] --- Didn't expect this! Sure it started a little too slow for my taste so by half the match I wasn't really all that motivated for the bout think it'll end on a lack-luster note, but how wrong was I? From then on it just kept growing into a exciting technical battle and with them teasing Ken Ohka would come in and interfere on behalf of Takanashi. However Ohka's involvment was kept to a minimum thanks to Tamura who kicked him out from the ring. That ment that Takeda and Takanashi could fight it hold for hold. And they traded a bunch of submission having a very technical bout with some more flashy moves mixed in from time to time to get the adrenaline pumping. It looked like it could go either way with Takeda having the ankle hold as his special move, but Takanashi didn't tap and fought himself into the lead and should have won on a driving front cradle, but the referee messed that up for Takanashi had to do one more move and that was a leg lariat to the face to get the win after a indy epic. 23:34 - Takanashi pinned Takeda after a jumping facekick    COMMENTS: Finally a main event from Style-E that took off! The undercard was decent, but the focus was on the main event and also on Tamura's return from under the mask.   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNQ Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 STYLE-E on COMM - March 21, 2009, Tokyo - (2 1/4 hrs)     March 21, 2009, Tokyo - Nishi-Choufu Sport-Combat Arena   1. Takashi Tengu -vs- Shota [1/2*] --- Over in no time when Tengu blocked Shota's top rope splash and made the cover. A couple of fancy moves, but otherwise little to offer as this lame face-painted Tengu guy beat the rather weak Style-E guy. 5:17 - Tengu pinned Shota after blocking a top rope bodypress    2. Shoichi Uchida -vs- Yukihiro Abe [*] --- Had a ok ending as Abe tried a few cradles on the more controling opponent, but it didn't work as Uchida came back with locomotion Samoan Drops and then the Fire Thunder piledriver to win it. Sadly Uchida's killer moves was WAY too protective as Abe's head was nowhere near the mat on either the Black Tiger Tombstone or the Fire Thudner piledrivers. 6:55 - Uchida pinned Abe after a Fire Thunder piledriver    3. Shuji Ishikawa & Kyosuke Sasaki & Akino -vs- Masahiro Takanashi & Toshihiro Sueyoshi & Chou-un Shiryu [* 1/2] --- Plenty of fun things in this 6-person action match from the big Union Pro Ishikawa to Oz Academy's Akino running around. It was a entertainment style bout and it did without creating any importance. Just lay back and watch.... 13:07 - Sasaki pinned Shiryu after a Gotch-style piledriver    4. Masato Shibata © -vs- Hiroshi Kosakai - (RCW Title) [**] --- Style'E's heavyweight Shibata defending the RCW Title against a guy I'm not very familiar with. Not a super wrestler, but they still managed to sacrifise themself enough to make this a exciting war. Kosakai's biggest moments came with running kicks to Shibata's head. Shibata however was more heavyweight in his approach landing devestating moves such as the Thunder Fire powerbomb and a sleeper suplex! Then when he followed up with a sleeper hold on Kosakai it was all over. 11:05 - Shibata defeated Kosakai with a sleeper to retain the RCW Title.    5. Masashi Takeda & Jaki Numazawa -vs- Tetsuhiro Kuroda & Keita Yano [* 3/4] --- Style-E bringing in Big Japan's Numazawa and Apache Pro's Kuroda to spice things up a little with Takeda and Yano. And it was a joyous bout with some hardcore elements as Yano got suplexed on a chair real hard and stuff like that. Pure and simple crowd please which Numazawa had the honors of ending with his small package driver on Yano. 16:09 - Numazawa pinned Yano with a driving small package    6. Kazuhiro Tamura © -vs- Ken Ohka - (Style-E Title; No-Ropes Match) [* 3/4] --- Yeah, they managed to create some drama in this. They removed all the ropes and also had the gangs interfere a little, but it ended up being mainly the two wrestlers it ended up being about. Funny twist of faith was the sleeper moment when they turned off the lights as the arm was about to fall for the 3rd time to escape an early stoppage. Ohka survived another sleeper straight after and got in control. Thats when the match staggered a little bit with Ohka doing very little to keeping the fanfare up, but at least the explossion from Tamura for the finish got them on the right track again with Tamura bombarding Ohka's head with kicks until there was no more responce from the blondy. 18:33 - Tamura pinned Ohka after a headkick to retain the Style-E Title.    COMMENTS: A very good small indy show from Style-E. Two title matches that ended up feeling important and enough guests otherwise to fill a solid show.   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNQ Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 STYLE-E on COMM - May 16, 2009, Tokyo - (1 3/4 hrs)     May 16, 2009, Tokyo - Nishi-Choufu Sport-Combat Arena   1. Masato Shibata -vs- Spark Aoki [1/2*] --- Spark getting squashed.... 8:02 - Shibata pinned Aoki after a German Suplex    2. Masahiro Takanashi & Toshihiro Sueyoshi -vs- Kyosuke Sasaki & Shota [* 1/4] --- Shota was so close to defeated the DDT'er Takanashi with a German Suplex! A VERY late kick out there, and instead Takanashi soon after had Shota beat with a inside cradle. Poor kid, but at least he got to look half-capable before losing to the DDT loser. 14:56 - Takanashi pinned Shota with a small package    3. Chou-un Shiryu & Tomomitsu Matsunaga -vs- Takashi Tengu & Akitoshi Saicho [*] --- DDT boyz rule in Style-E! Typical lightweight action match which didn't captivate me too much, but nothing terrible really. Shiryu was the one to get the win over the heavyweight on the other side. 12:32 - Shiryu pinned Saicho after a top rope single-foot stomp    4. Yukihiro Abe -vs- Masashi Takeda [* 1/2] --- Boooooo! Takeda gets pushed to the moon in Big Japan as a hardcore wrestler, but in his main promotion he loses to a DDT'er that almost never wins anything?! Well, Abe did get help from fellow DDT wrestlers Shiryu, Matsunaga & Takanashi who kept their noses in Takeda's business and resulted in enough distractions for Abe to get the schoolboy win. Thankfully they re-started the match which I was thinking would be Takeda's revenge, but no, not at all. Abe beat him in one minute with another cradle. This sets up a hardcore match between the two on the next Style-E show! 9:12 - Abe pinned Takeda with a schoolboy 1:11 - Abe pinned Takeda with a lariat cut-back cradle    5. Kazuhiro Tamura © -vs- Shoichi Uchida - (Style-E Title) [** 1/4] --- Uchida might not have the personality that Tamura's former challenger Ken Ohka has, but he's better at making the actual wrestling stronger. And Uchida really gave the Style-E champion a challenge having him in a lot of trouble as they were fighting like equals and landing fairly big moves like Uchida's second rope Styles Clash and several other deadly moves. But the little shooter kept kicking out of the best Uchida had and gave as good as he got with submissions and kicks, and for the finish he went fishing with fishermans busters to wheel-in the victory. A very positive experience. 16:54 - Tamura pinned Uchida after a wrist-clutch fisherman's buster to retain the Style-E Title.    COMMENTS: Good main event and a interesting twist of faith in the Abe vs Takeda bout made this worth viewing.   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNQ Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 STYLE-E on COMM - June 26, 2009, Tokyo - (2 hrs)     June 26, 2009, Tokyo - Nishi-Choufu Sport-Combat Arena   1. Masato Shibata & Takashi Tengu -vs- Mototsugu Shimizu & Spark Aoki [*] --- The final minute gave this one the energy to end in a good way. Tengo's Flashing Elbow nearly broke Aoki jaw and crowd reaction and wrestler motivation was there for the finish as Tengu finished Aoki off by surprising him with a headscissor cradle. 10:53 - Tengu pinned Aoki with a headscissor cradle   2. Masahiro Takanashi -vs- Shota [* 1/2] --- Shota getting some rub from the DDT "star" and they did the same German Suplex spot as in the tag match on the last show where Takanashi was very late in kicking out and with the same facial expresion. But there was more to it then that which made this one so fun. Shota doesn't exactly scream credibility with his fighting, but I felt they got a enjoyable match out of this regardless with Takanashi doing a good job of carrying and making sure Shota looked good before beating him with a side roll-up. 8:50 - Takanashi pinned Shota with a side leg-hook cradle    3. Akitoshi Saicho -vs- Chou-un Shiryu [* 3/4] --- This one got a lot more exciting and competitive then I imagined it could be. Shiryu had a little help from Takanashi, but managed to get most of the match by his own efforts landing all the finishers he had for cheering near falls. While Saicho tried his best to break down Shiryu with a modified Tombstone and a lot more and then the scorpion ankle hold before Takanashi came in and it all ended in a DQ mess. 13:12 - Saicho defeated Shiryu by DQ    4. Masashi Takeda -vs- Yukihiro Abe - (Hardcore) [* 1/4] --- More a mock hardcore match then a real mans battle as Abe was wearing a little helmet and they used toys as weapons along with some real weapons like the barbed wire baseball bat and chairs. More for laughs then a grudge match as Takeda got his win back beating the last witz out of Abe's brain. After the bout Ken Ohka came and attacked Takeda for a possible future match-up. 10:59 - Takeda pinned Abe after a Olympic Slam on chairs    5. Shoichi Uchida & Toshihiro Sueyoshi -vs- Yuko Miyamoto & Kazuhiro Tamura [** 1/4] --- Uchida has just lost a title match against Tamura, so now it looks like it's Sueyoshi's turn to get in the champs face. But with him Tamura has got the BJPW Death Match Champion Miyamoto to team against the ones that are hungry for gold. Still with so much honor on the line I didn't expect that much effort as they put in here. Some of the dives where almost wreckless when Miyamoto's flying being a bit too much for him as he was sent over the ropes crashing hard on the floor on his double knee attack in the corner. Tamura did a few leeps aswell and Uchida did a second rope backbuster. There was a lot to like here and it was competitive, and Sueyoshi did get his reward of beating the Style-E Champion Tamura landing a big double-arm facebuster! 19:34 - Sueyoshi pinned Tamura after a double-arm facebuster    COMMENTS: Style-E does give the fans a good show even if it's held in a small gym and only partly a ring as it's on the same level as the fans and no apron sides.   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNQ Posted December 11, 2011 Author Share Posted December 11, 2011 KAGEKI PRO on COMM - May 2, 2008, Hakata - (1 3/4 hrs)     May 2, 2008, Hakata - Miyakonojo Athletic Park Gym (723 fans)   1. Satoshi Ogawa -vs- Isamu Taniguchi [1/2*] --- The match had a few seconds of hope here and there, but in the end it was a fairly failed bout which never got exciting as it became clear early that it was going to be a time limit draw and they were unable to pull out anything special apart from some decent kicking from Taniguchi with the highlight being a high kick to the head. 13:53 of 15:00 - Ogawa wrestled Taniguchi to a 15:00 Time Limit Draw    2. Dragon Yuki & Skull Reaper A-ji -vs- KING & Koji Niizumi [3/4*] --- This was boring and it kept on lasting and lasting without having anything specific to offer until Yuki won with a moonsault after KING had survived too much already. 16:50 of 16:53 - Yuki pinned KING after a moonsault    3. KAZE -vs- Nozomi Kubo [3/4*] --- A combination of both matches so far. A few seconds here and there with half-decent wrestling and a lot of dragging time which never got interesting until KAZE won over the heel with a Dragon Suplex. 11:54 of 11:49 - KAZE pinned Kubo with a Dragon Suplex    4. Cosmo*Soldier -vs- Kurokage [*] --- Same deal here too. I guess thats the standard on this show. Just having matches and nothing more then just filling time. At least Soldier looks more fit then most of the other Kageki guys and won nicely with a tornado style moonsault. 12:36 of 12:43 - Soldier pinned Kurokage after a Skytwister press    5. Tatsumi Fujinami & Azteca -vs- Yuto Aijima & Diablo [* 1/4] --- Azteca getting the rub teaming with the only star of the show in legendary former New Japan wrestler Tatsumi Fujinami. And it was clear he was the one people were excited to see and everything else didn't matter. And people wanted to see the Dragonscrew and the Dragon Sleeper.....which they got as Fujinami got the tribute win! 12:23 of 14:40 - Fujinami made Diablo submit to a Dragon Sleeper    COMMENTS: A show which had nearly nothing to offer apart from Tatsumi Fujinami being the special guest in the main event.   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmo*Soldier & Garuda -vs- Isamu Taniguchi & Dynamite Guy Akira [3/4*] --- Easy piecy action to start the show. Not bad. Just not very exciting. It was established wrestlers against a couple of not so promising rookies and guess who won..... 12:41 of 12:41 - Garuda made Taniguchi submit to a Boston Crab    2. Souther -vs- Satoshi Ogawa - (Otsuka Pharmeceutical Cup - Final) [3/4*] --- Big foreigner against little Japanese guy formula. Ogawa getting thrown around a lot with the fans getting a bodyslam absolutely nobody wanted to see. Well, Souther did ask them if they wanted to see a bodyslam and NOBODY replied! He did one anyway and they were mildly impressed. Ogawa got to show some of his strenght, but nah.....Souther was always going to win. 10:06 of 10:10 - Souther pinned Ogawa after a Oklahoma Stampede    3. Koji Niizumi -vs- KING [*] --- Typical Kageki singles match only being able to bring anything interesting on a very part-time basis. But at least Niizumi stepped up in the end a murdered the KING with a few nice moves to end it nicely even if the finisher wasn't anything special. Just a modified vertical suplex. Light by todays standards. 13:39 of 13:47 - Niizumi pinned KING after the GT Driver    4. Azteca & KAZE & Rey Paloma -vs- Yuto Aijima & Kurokage & Nozomi Kubo - (Otsuka Pharmeceutical Cup) [* 1/4] --- Decent action match where the babyfaces shined with Kubo bumping like mad for them and Paloma babyface bumping to get the support and comeback. Nothing outstanding, but it made the fans pleased with Azteca winning too..... 15:49 of 15:56 - Azteca pinned Kubo after a fishermans buster    5. Shinichi Hayashida -vs- Diablo [1/2*] --- What the hell?! Diablo didn't care one bit for the rules and kept using weapons and throwing down the referee as he felt like it trashing this Hayashida for 8 minutes until the referee had enough and DQ'ed him. 8:00 of 7:58 - Hayashida defeated Diablo by DQ    COMMENTS: The usual indy stuff....   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azteca -vs- Koji Niizumi - (Hakata City Light-Heavyweight Title Tournament - Round 1) [1/2*] --- First round of the tournament to crown the new Hakata City Light-Heavyweight Champion after Diablo abandoned it. And the favourite to win it gets a easy first round win as Niizumi got a hurting leg and Azteca worked over it until the referee stopped the match. 6:20 of 6:29 - Azteca defeated Niizumi via Referee Stop with a modified single leg crab    2. Cosmo*Soldier -vs- KING - (Hakata City Light-Heavyweight Title Tournament - Round 1) [*] --- Competitive at least landing their big moves for near wins where KING should have won with his Muscle Buster had not Soldier rolled out of the ring. Instead Soldier got in a piggyback riding submission instead to move on to the next round! 8:46 of 8:46 - Soldier made KING submit to the OLAP    3. U.M.A. -vs- Isamu Taniguchi - (Hakata City Light-Heavyweight Title Tournament - Round 1) [1/2*] --- They tried to be quick and effective going straight to work and landing what they had, but it just wasn't enough to really entertain. At least it was over in 5 minutes with a nice moonsault from the masked guy. 5:05 of 4:47 - U.M.A. pinned Taniguchi after a moonsault    4. Kitai Kubo -vs- Dragon Yuki - (Hakata City Light-Heavyweight Title Tournament - Round 1) [3/4*] --- Kubo can be a cool mo-fo in his indyness ways. Hardly world-class, but in this company he's a little bit different to the others and knows his limits. And thankfully he gets a rare win beating the lame Yuki guy with splashes. 8:44 of 8:44 - Kubo pinned Yuki after a top rope bodypress    5. Azteca -vs- Shinya Hayashida - (Hakata City Light-Heavyweight Title Tournament - Round 2) [1/2*] --- Felt a lot longer then what it was. A technical friendly in which the bossman won..... 7:25 of 7:28 - Azteca pinned Hayashida with a grounded Cobra Twist    6. Satoshi Ogawa -vs- Cosmo*Soldier - (Hakata City Light-Heavyweight Title Tournament - Round 2) [1/2*] --- Both trying to be sneeky with Ogawa showing the most smarts managing to get a lucky count out win which was the best he could have hoped for.... 6:50 of 6:54 - Ogawa defeated Soldier by Count Out    7. KAZE -vs- U.M.A - (Hakata City Light-Heavyweight Title Tournament - Round 2) [*] --- Average lucharesu stuff, but they had some time to build it so it felt a little more rewarding in the end mixed in with a handfull nice moves as KAZE beat U.M.A. effectively. 9:38 of 9:43 - KAZE pinned U.M.A. with a Tiger Suplex    8. Azteca -vs- Satoshi Ogawa - (Hakata City Light-Heavyweight Title Tournament - Semi-Final) [*] --- Ogawa surprised again and was the man of the match catching Azteca flying and throwing him in a blockbuster suplex and even tried to win by count out again without the desired result. But Azteca is the king of Kageki Pro and would win spectacularly with a wreckless suplex off the turnbuckle following up with a splash to get to the final. 6:56 of 6:57 - Azteca pinned Ogawa after a top rope bodypress    9. Kitai Kubo -vs- KAZE - (Hakata City Light-Heavyweight Title Tournament - Semi-Final) [* 1/2] --- Kubo~~~ He did it! He's in the finals after beating KAZE in this almost exciting bout after a bunch of induvidual near fall moments and a few rough, but killer moves at the end. The two nastiest was the second rope Ligerbomb and top rope senton which got Kubo his win. KAZE had his share of the match, but Kubo emerges victorious. 10:58 of 11:00 - Kubo pinned KAZE after a top rope senton    10. Azteca -vs- Kitai Kubo - (Hakata City Light-Heavyweight Title Tournament - Final) [* 1/2] --- Kubo was exhausted from having just wrestled the semi finals, but he put up an good fight, but it was clear Azteca was the fresher of the two, but Kubo won a few fans over on this show managing to stay in there and give Azteca a good match almost winning by count out and also with the senton, but Azteca is the ace of the company and Kubo wasn't going to stop him from winning this Hakata title for the 4th time. And brainbusters landed before the Saint Splash landed! 9:53 of 10:00 - Azteca pinned Kubo after a top rope bodypress to become the 11th Hakata City Light-Heavyweight Champion.    COMMENTS: A lot of low-quality indy matches early on which didn't reach any impressive hights, but the end of the tournament at least established something and Kubo did well in the process.   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNQ Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 DERA NAGOYA PRO on COMM - December 7, 2008, Nagoya - (1 1/2 hrs)     December 7, 2008, Nagoya - Nakamura Sports Center (485 fans)   1. Atsushi Ohashi -vs- Wataru Sakakigara [1/4*] --- Ohashi was decent and did what he could to carry this one, but Sakakigara was just terrible and rightfully lost to the little guy. 9:15 - Ohashi made Sakakigara submit to a single leg crab    2. Shinya Ishikawa -vs- Takeshi Miyamoto [1/2*] --- Almost identical to the previous bout. Miyamoto might have been a tiny bit more credible looking then Sakakigara, but not much really. Basic rookie style wrestling with a decent finish of Ishikawa landing a couple of stiff elbows and then a backdrop suplex. 8:47 - Ishikawa pinned Miyamoto after a backdrop suplex    3. Jun Kasai & Jaki Numazawa -vs- Sanshiro Takagi & Shun Kasagi - (Hardcore) [* 1/4] --- DDT boss Takagi only had a slight bi-part in this as it was all about the Big Japan hardcore pair murdering Kasagi! Don't know why they needed to keep the match alive that long, but at least Kasagi got a royal beating! 16:40 - Kasai pinned Kasagi after a top rope bodypress    4. Abdullah Kobayashi -vs- Mammoth Handa [1/2*] --- Ok, funny match on paper, but not that fun to watch. Handa is a parody comedy guy who tried to be as bad as he can be. Now with a little experience he's so-called getting better. But he's also losing his loser charm and Abby was way too nice with him here..... 8:56 - Kobayashi pinned Handa after a top rope elbow drop    5. Shigehiro Irie & Kengo Takai -vs- Daisuke Sekimoto & Yuji Okabayashi [* 1/2] --- The match that was going to save this otherwise miserable Nagoya vs Yokohama show and it was the best one. Straight, but sadly a little too basic fighting. The Big Japan side for the most part was in control like they'd been all show, but then Irie surprised everyone and speared Okayabashi down for the pin to at least get the home side one win on this otherwise sad show. 15:23 - Irie pinned Okabayashi after a spear    COMMENTS: Big Japan against Nagoya guys and it's probable the worst Dero Nagoya Pro show available.   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNQ Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 TEAM DERA: DERA v. BATTLARTS 2 on COMM - February 20, 2011 - (1 3/4 hrs)     February 20, 2011   1. Yujiro Yamamoto -vs- Takashi Miyamoto [3/4*] --- Battlearts wins the 1st bout in this Nagoya vs Battlarts show from 2009. Miyamoto tried some shoot styling, but was heavily out-matched by the green one who in the end had little trouble locking Miyamoto out of the game. 6:29 - Yamamoto made Miyamoto submit to a shoulder lock    2. Shun Kosugi -vs- Baisen Tagai [1/2*] --- They tried shoot style. They tried regular pro-wrestling. And this was still plain boring and uninteresting.....The Nagoya representative wins it making it 1-1 so far. 12:15 - Kosugi pinned Tagai with a leg-hook Michinoku Driver II    3. Keita Yano -vs- Konaka Pale One [3/4*] --- Yeah....here is something different...... 12:32 - Yano pinned Konaka after a running knee to the head    4. Kengo Takai & Takashi -vs- Alexander Otsuka & Kenji Takeshima [*] --- Kind of limited what you can do with Takeshima in there except try and keep him out of it as much as possible. The Otsuka part was naturally better and Takai usually works hard. Never a super fight in any way, but better then the other undercard matches so far. And the finish was nice as Takai planted the dreadful Takeshima straight down neck first! Oh, and that makes it 2-2 with one match to go. 14:19 - Takai pinned Takeshima after a modified Emerald Frosion    5. Munenori Sawa -vs- Shigehiro Irie [** 3/4] --- Sweeeet Jeeeeesusssss! Stiff motherfucker! Mostly Sawa on attack with the lump of meet Irie taking the beating like a true man! It's rare you feel the pain in the same way on a indy show these days. Sawa layed in the punishment absolutely lovely! Not that Irie was helpless. He sure knew how to throw that weight around like the hipdrops and high-angle Samoan Drop! Just enjoy this.....pow!!! Oh, and if anyone care. This means Battlarts won 3-2. 19:45 - Sawa defeated Irie via Referee Stop after a knuckle punch    COMMENTS: One match show, and that match was stiffy!    EDIT: This turned out to be a show from 2011 and not from 2009. Team Dera, a re-start of the Dera Nagoya Pro promotion.   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNQ Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 DOVE PRO on COMM - September 28, 2008, Hiroshima - (2 hrs)     September 28, 2008, Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Hall (406 fans)   1. Koji Izumi -vs- Akira Maitogai - (Akira's Debut) [*] --- Akira making his pro debut and gets squashed in a normal dull way and this didn't get interesting before Maitogai started making his comeback with the fans strong behind him. Not that he accomplished much before Izumi took him down a notch and killed him off. 9:00 of 9:00 - Izumi pinned Akira after a modified fishermans buster    2. Yohei Hayata -vs- Kaneto Hogo [1/2*] --- Nah, wasn't getting into this much. Glad it was Hayata that won... 7:52 of 7:53 - Hayata pinned Hogo with a huracanrana    3. Takashi Sasaki & Rey Paloma & Chou-un Shiryu -vs- Souther & Kabuki Kid & 504 [* 3/4] --- The Dove Pro style arena brawl. A 20-min everything goes battle while jungle music hits the speakers non-stop making it a grooving bout to watch. First they started off with a jungle beat built around the classic 'Real Rock' reggae riddim which has been the basis for thousands of reggae songs the last 4 decades before it faded over in a drum'n'bass remix of Mr.Vegas's 'Heads High' and other more generic dancable tunes. All while they were diving and doing fancy stuff off scaffolds, piledrivers on chairs and tons of other violence all over the place making it a very intemate experience with the fans until the main star of the bout in Sasaki could finish off this Kabuki Kid launching all his finishers until Kabuki couldn't find anymore enegry to kick out. 20:06 of 20:05 - Sasaki pinned Kabuki after a D-Geist on chairs    4. Azteca & Kaze -vs- Susumu & Hanzo [3/4*] --- Tired old Kageki wrestling with nothing special happening except Azteca beating Suzumu in a flat manner. 12:43 of 12:44 - Azteca pinned Suzumu after a brainbuster    5. Yuko Miyamoto © -vs- Sakigake - (Dove Pro Title) [* 3/4] --- Miyamoto is the champion of Dove Pro and Sakigake have been preparing a long time for this match with the more known opponent. And it's all about Sakigake looking good and competitive with the 666/Big Japan star. Wasn't really feeling the threat too much, but thats what this match was focusing on and Sakigake kicked out of the moonsault and survived all that Miyamoto had time to get in before getting caught abruptly with a low-angle lariat for the surprise win for Sakigake! The action was ok, but no indy classic. 13:44 of 13:46 - Sakigake pinned Miyamoto with a low-angle lariat to become the 2nd Dove Pro Champion.    COMMENTS: Dove Pro is kind of fun to watch with their strange music brawls and serious title matches.   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNQ Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 DOVE PRO on COMM - March 22, 2009, Hiroshima - (2 hrs)     March 22, 2009, Hiroshima (523 fans)   1. Takashi Sasaki & Yuko Miyamoto -vs- Souther & Akira Maitogai - (Tag Survival - Round 1) [1/2*] --- Not even the sligthest bit exciting. Did anyone think the Dove Pro locals stood a chance against the Big Japan hardcore kings?! Well, they didn't..... 10:00 of 10:00 - Miyamoto made Akira submit to a Boston Crab    2. Kabuki Kid & 504 -vs- Susumu & Yohei Hayata - (Tag Survival - Round 1) [3/4*] --- Light indy action which never impressed. Not exactly top guys and nobody managed to lift the level either so it was just a long match going nowhere trading moves until Kabuki Kid landed a amateur looking senton to win. And then they stole the girls.... 14:06 of 14:08 - Kabuki pinned Hayata after a top rope senton    3. Rey Paloma & Chou-un Shiryu -vs- Diablo & Silhouette - (Tag Survival - Round 1) [3/4*] --- More random indy action with the Kageki side seemingly in control over little Paloma, but then they had a sloppy double-team cradle which got the underdogs their win. 11:29 of 12:00 - Paloma & Shiryu pinned Silhouette with a jack knife cradle    4. Sakigake © -vs- Shoichi Uchida - (Dove Pro Title) [* 1/2] --- Sakigake wrestled with his leg in a cast and you can only guess that Uchida went after that leg locking it in holds hoping for a submission from the Dove champion. Maybe going a little light to works, but if the injury was legit they kind of had to wark safe. Still the match lived on the submissions with Sakigake having some locks himself with his Crippler Crossface being something that nearly won him the match, even handicapped. Then came the situation that decided the bout. The referee was accidentally knocked down by Uchida and Sakigake used his crutch to knock Uchida down and then rolled him up for the pin with a substitute referee coming in right away to make the fast count for the champ to retain. 14:13 of 14:10 - Sakigake pinned Uchida with a small package to retain the Dove Pro Title.    5. Kabuki Kid & 504 -vs- Takashi Sasaki & Yuko Miyamoto -vs- Susumu & Yohei Hayata - (Tag Survival Final; 3-Way; TLC Death Match) [* 3/4] --- Hit the music! It's main event time and a massive arena brawl with the drum'n'bass filling the room with a heavy beat and beatings. The Dove Tag belts where hanging over the ring and they used their partners, tables and the ropes to try and reach them. But the natural ingredience for a ladder match would be the ladder which was what was used when Kabuki Kid & 504 won the bout and the belts. The best part of the match was Sasaki & Miyamoto putting people through tables! 14:08 of 17:55 - Kabuki & 504 take down the Dove Pro Tag Titles    COMMENTS: The final two matches were ok, but the Round 1 matches were all kinds of boring.   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNQ Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 DOVE PRO on COMM - May 3, 2009, Hiroshima - (2 hrs)     May 3, 2009, Hiroshima   1. Sakigake -vs- Yuji Maeda [3/4*] --- This show had no ring. Just mats on the floor in a club with dance music on the speakers as Maeda tried hopelessly to fight the Dove Pro Champion Sakigake. Nah, Sakigake was never really troubled. Only some mild offence from Maeda before Sakigake was playing with the guy beating him simple with a facelock. 7:34 of 7:34 - Sakigake made Maeda submit to a facelock    2. 504 -vs- Amazing Kid [*] --- A.K. from NKW? Haven't got a clue who or what that is. But he and 504 did a club brawl powerbombing through tables and leeping and fighting all over the little hall. With music of course. The entire show was like that. A.K. was the kind of wrestler that did extra flips on most of what he did, but it didn't get him any win. No, that honor went to Dove Pro's own 504 with a brainbuster on a chairseat. 9:04 of 11:32 - 504 pinned A.K. after a brainbuster    3. Diablo -vs- Souther [* 1/4] --- Another cool club brawl! This one was more heavyweight based and with foreigner Souther who seems to speak Japanese fluently. They were not satisfied with just fighting in the dancehall, they also went into the loo and out in the street where the referee had to direct trafic. And they used chairs, a barrel and also a chain as weapons as they pounded each other down. But the leathal move was Diablo who came with a lariat with a chain wrapped around the arm! 12:51 of 12:42 - Diablo pinned Souther after a chained lariat    4. Rey Paloma -vs- Kabuki Kid [* 3/4] --- How can one not enjoy the indy sleeze of a match featuring attacks leeping off the bar counter, piledriver on beer cans, using a ladder with little/no room for jumping off the top because of the low roof, moonsault off a barrel, and loads more for a good party hangover. This was a lot of fun for the pure bar fight. And they mixed in the finishers and near falls too giving the match some excitement besides the surreal. Kabuki Kid tried MDII's and also a chaired legdrop off the ladder, but it was the masked Paloma who nailed the victory showing who run the club with a lariat! Sakigake came out and attacked Rey Paloma after the bout trying to rip off his mask so I sense a match coming soon. 18:05 of 18:42 - Paloma pinned Kabuki after a running lariat    5. Akira Maitogai -vs- Dohon Light(?) [1/4*] --- The club night opener ends the DVD as a bonus with Dynamite Guy Akira beating some other guy..... 4:56 - Akira made Light submit to a Boston Crab    6. 504 -vs- Akira Maitogai [1/2*] --- And Akira gets another bout. More a show taster as also Kabuki Kid and Rey Paloma got into the party drinking and fighting and having a blast and eventually they had Akira beat with a slow style German. 5:48 - 504 pinned Akira with a German Suplex    COMMENTS: Apart from dance craze club wrestling we also got live Japanese reggae dancehall, so a real awesome exprience because it's different to anything else on the scene. Not that the wrestling was super. Just different.   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNQ Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 DOVE PRO on COMM - July 19, 2009, Hiroshima - (2 hrs)     July 19, 2009, Hiroshima   1. Mighty Guy Akira -vs- Hikaru Michimoto [1/2*] --- Basics ending in a very basic way.... 4:18 of 7:34 - Akira made Michimoto submit to a Boston Crab    2. ? -vs- Isamu Taniguchi [*] --- The powerplug just stiffed the skinny guy to death ending with a wonderful elbow smash to make the kill complete...... 5:52 of 10:42 - ? pinned Taniguchi after a running elbow smash    3. Shoichi Uchida -vs- Kabuki Kid -vs- Amazing Kid - (3-Way) [*] --- Had a few nice moves, but it was still a 3-way which can get a bit messy and unstructured to get into. Uchida gets to be the best of the three winning after headbutting Kabuki off Amazing Kid and then beating A.K. with the Styles Clash. 9:55 of 13:42 - Uchida pinned Amazing Kid after a Styles Clash    4. Souther & Yuji Maeda -vs- Diablo & Kurokage [* 1/4] --- Violence. That was all this was. Ugly violence. And not very captivating either, but it had something buzzing without this exploding into anything super. And a terrible ending to ruin it. A lame no-contest when the referee had no more control over the situation. 13:03 of 16:36 - Souther & Maeda wrestled Diablo & Kurokage to a No-Contest    5. Takashi Sasaki -vs- 504 - (TLC Hardcore, Barbed Wire Board Death Match) [* 1/4] --- While this wasn't terrible, it's still very sad and wrong to see Sasaki let a backyarder like 504 look so competitive as he did. I know Sasaki isn't the most selfish guy in the world, but really, it's just not right to have a 20-min hardcore 'epic' with a shit like that. Not good for business and wrestlers should have more pride then that. Yes, Sasaki did end up winning, which is only right, but letting 504 be so hardcore and destructive towards a established name.....not good. 20:26 of 20:26 - Sasaki pinned 504 after a barbed wire board headkick    6. Sakigake © -vs- Rey Paloma - (Dove Pro Junior Title vs Mask) [* 1/2] --- The Dove fans wanted Ray Paloma to win because there was a nagative reaction when it became clear Sakigake won it with the fishermans buster. But I guess thats connected to Paloma losing his mask in the same process having to unmask infront for the Dove fans. That Sekigake retained the belt wasn't as important. The match was ok at times. A little weak on execution, espeically with Sakigake on attack with those spears looking a little embarrassing. Paloma's embarrassing moment was the springboard Frankensteiner managing to land on the top rope when about to swing Sakigake down making that process kind of difficult. Never seen that kind of miss before. But they did execute all their fancy stuff and finishers for near falls to create some hotness before Sakigake disappointed the fans and won. 16:09 of 18:18 - Sakigake pinned Paloma after a fishermans buster to retain the Dove Pro Junior Title.    COMMENTS: Kind of mid-way. This never reached any tops. Plenty of negative, which kind of out-weighted the positive on a whole.   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PUNQ Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 DAIWA ENTERTAINMENT PRO on COMM - May 2, 2009, Nagoya - (2 hrs)     May 2, 2009, Nagoya   1. Black Kaiser -vs- Super*PanDO [1/4*] --- Very easy going comedy bout where the stupid Panda dude was beat twice. Hardly funny and not at all good wrestling. 0:05 - Kaiser pinned PanDO after a lariat 10:16 - Kaiser pinned PanDO after a brainbuster    2. El Samurai & Nobuhiko Kado & Shoichi Uchida -vs- Diablo & Silhouette & Kaoru Nemoto [* 1/4] --- Old Samurai slumming down in DEP against some old Kageki enimies who pulled off his mask to get the DQ result. The quality of the bout varied a lot with the main quality coming from the heels and their badness cheating their way only so they could hurt the faces. 17:34 - Samurai & Kado & Uchida defeated Diablo & Silhouette & Nemoto by DQ    3. Takaya Shibama -vs- Shigehiro Irie [*] --- Might have been better then what the rating suggest, but I didn't manage to belive in Shibama's chances and when he won it was just a tame reaction from me. I did however like how Irie stiffed the guy a few times during the bout, especially the headbutt to the face! 14:14 - Shibama pinned Irie after a top rope elbow drop    4. Dick Togo -vs- Shadow Phoenix [* 1/2] --- Phoenix is the guy formerly known as Flashmoon in Osaka Pro. And I really liked him there and he still looks good. A very good flyer. Strange that he doesn't go for work in some of the more known companies instead of DEP. Well his flying was looking real good, but most of the match was Togo beating him up and sadly a little too Togo like as he didn't do anything out of the ordinary with this match. Just the Crippler and the Pedigrees before the senton landed which is how Tago end ALL his matches. 12:09 - Togo pinned Phoenix after a top rope senton    5. GENTARO & Yuji Kito & Taro Toyotomi -vs- Tatsutoshi Goto & Tomokazu Fukaya & Ryu Kamiya [*] --- Didn't seem they wanted to do all that much which is a shame because they were 6 men dividing the work, yet it was only a slow and uneventful tag with only some short glimpts of light as young Kamiya tried to stay in there with the stronger and better, before losing to Taro's Splash Mountain. 16:37 - Toyotomi pinned Kamiya with a Splash Mountain    6. Daisuke Masaoka & Kenta Kosugi © -vs- Magnitude Kishiwada & Tadanobu Fujisawa - (DEP Tag Title) [* 3/4] --- DEP's own tag champs against the Osaka based heel side of Kishiwada & Fujisawa and it was a struggle for the champs. Both because of the shear power of the challengers and because of all the guys they had there to help. Not too much interference, but enough to shift the focus on the heel side to take and keep control. And when Kishiwada started going for his more devestating moves it wasn't much Masaoka could do as Kishiwada Last Ride'ed him down for the arrogant count. Kishiwada & Fujisawa win the DEP belts! 19:24 - Kishiwada pinned Masaoka after a Last Ride powerbomb. Kishiwada & Fujisawa become the 2nd DEO Tag Champions.    COMMENTS: Interesting local wrestling mixing with quite a few outside stars without creating a too memorable show.   --PUNQ-- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
