March 1st 2022

Korakuen Hall, NJPW 50th Anniversary Show


Preshow:

dmpHqkvgXEOoh2LvBbyyhNfF5ytBGR9Ncw36k8eXRFmCGawbeH9WjbV4l8XAH7WSezk43EMTbmAOozNonSMPNu_6-B5jAITDIESOXmKew-XVUFvQdS4mwyuImKICuIcZBibd1iH8SGEjOmlkY7dK1Dbc3AXbtyBL04kZVoHf_PoBbcwHhtgmelgGQmZWVg


Lucha Bear vs STARS

The opening act of the preshow would heat up the crowd with a short but brutal tag match. The match would especially showcase Masha Slamovich who for a good portion of the match would dominate, brutalize and bully Riho. The match would come to an abrupt end after Meiko is taken out of action with a Taya Valkyrie dive to the outside but Riho reverses a Masha powerbomb attempt into a bridged victory roll.

Winners:
STARS

Post match Masha would attack Riho with strikes to the head until both the referee and Taya pulled her off. This is clearly not over for Masha.

The Pinnacle (Steve Maclin, QT Marshall, Ishimori and El Phantasmo) vs. Kota Ibushi, Konosuke Takeshita, Kushida and Alex Zayne

The pinnacle would look to make Daddy Maxwell proud in the second and final match of the pre-show taking on the team of Ibushi, the young phenom Takeshita, Kushida and Alex Zayn. The match would be close with the four heels working extremely well together to isolate Alex Zayn and Kushida from Kota and Konosuke. Unfortunately this would not last as Ibushi would get a hot tag and decimates the heel corner. Takeshita would eventually tag in and have a nice back and forth with Steve Maclin, who would be the standout for The Pinnacle. Qt Marshall would sneak a tag in after Maclin hit Konosuke with a big sidewalk slam…only for Takeshita to lariat his head off. Takeshita would tag Ibushi and they would hit a tandem of the Kamigoye to the face and a running knee to the back of the head. The cover is only for show, QT is knocked the hell out.

Winners:
Ibushi, Takeshita, Kushida and Alex Zayn.

After the match, while Takeshita and Ibushi celebrate, Ishimori and El P get in the face of Kushida and Alex Zayn, potentially foreshadowing some unfinished business.
.


Main Card

The show would open with Kobashi along with Gedo and other retired NJPW alumni in the ring for a historical video package of New Japan Pro Wrestling. Kobashi would then welcome Manami Toyota to the ring and declare that the next 50 years would be done shoulder to shoulder with Stardom and reinforcing the union between the two companies now under one banner.

Brody King (c) vs Ren Narita - NEVER OPENWEIGHT TITLE

The battle would be a strike heavy bout as the brash Narita would unleash a fury of rapid blows in hopes to cut down the massive King. Brody would struggle to keep pace and seems to be stunned early by not only the speed of Narita’s strikes but their deceptive power. Inexperience would prove a challenge however as King would play possum on one knee to hit a sneaky throat chop and immediately follows up with a sidewalk slam for a quick 2 count. King would take over and impose his will and size. Delayed vertical suplex and a cannonball in the corner lands another 2 count. Deep headlock by King but Ren fires up and hits some elbows to the solar plexus and breaks free. Cut off once again by King with a massive lariat. Death Valley Driver but Ren slides out of the ring in desperation. King stalks him on the outside and smacks him with a double ax handle to the back. Irish whip into the barricade. Canon Ball by King. Narita moves out of the way! Running drop kick by Narita. Brody barely makes it back in the ring on time. PENALTY KICK by Narita! 2.99 Brody kicks out! Narita is fired up and goes for the overhead belly to belly but his back can’t take the superheavyweight in the air. Lariat by King but Narita ducks under and jumps on King’s back and locks in the overhead chickenwing. King looks to be fading…or not! He overpowers Narita into a fireman's carry and drops him on his head with a Gonzo Bomb.

Winner:
Brody King

Brody King would pick up Narita and start to choke him. Alex Coughlin and Yuya Uemaru would attempt the save but immediately get cut off by the Red Hand and Buddy Matthews who have the numbers advantage. Brody King would choke and hang Ren over the ropes and remove his feet from the floor, essentially hanging him. Someone in the back however had seen enough.




Shibata! It’s Shibata! The LA Dojo head trainer is out and he’s in ring gear! He smacks the taste out of Red Hand and Buddy’s mouth easily and rushes the ring forcing Brody King to release Narita onto the floor. Shibata and King would come nose to nose but Brody King would wisely step back and take his leave. LA Dojo would lick their wounds as the crowd would cheer for the return of Shibata!

The Young Bucks vs Roppongi Vice

Both teams would make their return to Korakuen Hall to loud ovations from the crowd.This match would have some unofficial championship implication with both factions looking for a signature win in hopes of being propelled to number one contender status to next face DIY.

As everyone expected, this would be an instant classic between 4 men who have met inside the squared circle more times than they can count. The Bucks would be in full vintage NJPW heel mode with all the theatrics and overselling only to lead to back scratches and eye pokes.

The Bucks would take over early regardless of their trolling and isolate Rocky in hopes to avoid the strength advantage of Trent Baretta. Eventually Rocky would get a hot tag and Trent would get a near fall on Matt after a Sexy Chuck Knee in the corner. Kevin Owens would make a surprise appearance to aid the Bucks but would be instantly thwarted by Rocky who dives onto him on the outside. In the ring The Bucks try to take advantage and hit a low blow on Trent while the referee is distracted. They set him up for the Meltzer driver…but Rocky manages to pull Nick off the apron at the last moment. Trent reverses Matt…into the Dudebuster!

1….2….3!!!!!!

Winners:
Roppongi Vice

In a shocking result, Roppongi Vice have defeated the Young Bucks. They run into Kevin Ownes arms and sadly make their way to the back. Trent demands a microphone. He declares that after defeating the Young Bucks in the most important building in Japan, it’s time they go for the big prize.

NEVER 6 man Title
La Faccion Ingobernables (c) (Naito, Andrade, Rush) vs ChAoS (Orange Cassidy, Tomohiro Ishii, Robie Eagles)


This match would be a tribute to both legendary factions with rich histories in modern NJPW lore. Orange Cassidy would get an incredible reaction coming out last for his team.

The match itself would be a sprint for the most part, slowing down only when the Stone Pitbull was in the ring and chopping the soul out of anyone in his way.

While the match was fairly even, LFI would change their fortune when Andrade would plead to the referee that Chaos had made an illegal tag. Rush would seize the moment and smash Robie Eagles in the face with a Kendo stick. Rush would tag as the other 2 members of LFI would pull OC and Ishii off the apron, opening the door for him to hit his patented running corner dropkick right to the skull of Eagles. The pinfall seals it. The champs retain.

Winners:
LFI

The Clinic (Baker, James) vs Cosmic Angels (Tam Nakano, Mina Shirakawa)

In another tag team match with championship aspirations, The Clinic would look to extend their winning streak in their quest to challenge Black Desire.

The match would be physical with both teams laying in their shots. Both Baker and Tam would dazzle the crowd with their charisma and antics.

The Clinic would ultimately be victorious via a brutal DDT to Mina Shirakawa on the outside by Mickey James and rolls her into the ring. Britt Baker gets the glove and puts her in the LockJaw for the submission victory

Winners:
The Clinic

Britt and Mickey would amp up the crowd and make belt motions.

Utami Hayashishita vs Io Shirai

Io Shirai would look to discipline the former leader Hayashishita in a risky move that could cause a further rift in Queen’s Quest’s court.

Io would begin the match bullying Utami, who appears to be holding back and taking the abuse from her now mentor. Io would grow frustrated at Utami’s lack of fight and slaps her multiple times across the face and scolds her loudly like a child.

Having heard and taken enough, Utami would snap and unload forearms to the Queen’s jaw. After a lariat lands them both on the apron, Utami would hit an air-raid crash and they both tumble to the outside. Io tries to use a chair but Utami hits a picture perfect drop kick sending it back into Io’s face.Io does manage to get some space after countering a running lariat attempt with a drop toe hold that sends Utami face first into the barricade. Both women take advantage of a very generous 20 count and finally make it back inside the squared circle.

Forearm strike exchange results in a draw. Both women start to show some fatigue. Big german suplex from Io Shirai.Tiger Feint Kick by Io. Close 2 count follows.

Io looks to end it and hits another nasty German Suplex and follows it up by hurling Utami into the corner. Flying knee to the chest by Io. Sets Utami on the top turnbuckle. They struggle but Io takes control and hits a top rope Spanish Fly.

2.99!

Io screams and climbs the top turnbuckle again. She poses for the Moonsault and looks to take flight.She pauses for a moment, noticing someone standing and yelling at her from the crowd. It’s Mayu Iwatami! Io shakes it off and soars in the air with her legendary moonsault. And Utami springs up and catches her into a gourd buster! With hellish intent she picks Io up and hits the Towerhacker Bomb. Stacks the legs and rolls onto them with all her weight.

1…2…3!


Winner:
Utami Hayashishita

The crowd, not to mention Utami herself, are absolutely stunned. She has pinned her leader in front of the whole world. What will happen next in the Queen’s court? What does this mean for Utami? How will Io deal with Mayu? We will have to wait until next week to catch up with them.

Mustafa Ali (c) w/ Dijak vs. Laredo Kid - IWGP Jr. Heavyweight Title

The action would not stop there as our next contest is a IWGP Jr Heavyweight bout. However, Dijak would blindside Laredo Kid during his entrance with a forearm to the back of the head. He launches him into the barricade and to add insult to injury, powerbombs him through a table.

Ali would slowly make his entrance to a shower of jeers and would calmly go in his corner to stretch. The referee would check on Laredo Kid who is barely conscious, but grabs him by the collar and demands the fight still happens. After some arguing, he obliges and the contest begins.

Unfortunately for Laredo, this plays right into Ali’s hand and destroys him with a big boot. After some forearm blows to the back of the head, Ali would lock in a variation of a Muta Lock and leaves it in long after Kid has tapped in horror.

Winner:
Mustafa Ali

MJF vs. John Cena (if John Cena win, he can challenge MJF for the IWGP IC Title)

The main event of the evening would be the first ever encounter between the current IWGP IC Champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman against future first ballot hall of famer, John Cena.

Both men would have long epic entrances with John Cena coming out first to a legendary pop, high fiving and posing for selfies with the adoring Japanese fans.

Maxwell would have a complete opposite reaction as expected, taunting and even spitting at fans.

The crowd would continue to buzz for a good 60 seconds after the bell rings and both men would simply stare each other down. Lock up, MJF tries a hammerlock throw but Cena reverses.

Shoulder Block!

MJF takes a right hook swing but Cena side steps.

Sit out Hip Toss!

MJF is on rubber legs but he desperately dodges a Cena right and hits the ropes…but Cena is too quick and powerful. He lifts him up easily.

Side Release Spinout Power Bomb!

Cena pauses and smiles at the crowd. YOU CAN’T SEE ME! He hits the ropes, dusts off his shoulder, oh no…

FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE!

The crowd is going absolutely bananas! He gets MJF on his shoulders, MJF tries to struggle but it doesn’t matter.

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!

1…2…NO!

MJF kicks out at 2.99! Cena makes that face we all love to gif. Cena puts MJF back on his shoulders and climbs the corner turnbuckles. MJF manages to break free by jamming his thumb into Cena’s eye. Elbows to the top of Cena’s head. MJF kicks Cena off onto his back down onto the mat below. Top rope elbow drop by MJF results in an emphatic 1 count.

Immediate armbar attempt by MJF by Cena shoves him off. Throat chop by MJF followed by a closed fist punch to the forehead earns him a warning from red shoes. More dastardly tactics as MJF uses Red Shoe’s scolding to hide from Cena and sneak in a drop toe hold which results in Cena falling throat first on the bottom rope, furthering the damage. Headlock By Mjf.

Cena uses the crowd claps to get back to his feet and hits MJF’s midsection with some well placed elbows. He throws MJF into the ropes but MJF cuts him off again with a kitchen sink. MJF now attempts a guillotine choke to further work on Cena’s horse sized neck to surprisingly good results. Cena has to spend more energy getting to the ropes for a break.

More hard strikes to the head by MJF. Kick to the gut and he tucks Cena’s head under his arm looking for the South Hamptons Plunge but Cena reverses and backdrops him over the top rope to the outside. Springboard plancha by Cena!

Cena rolls him back in for the pin but MJF kicks out at 2. Cena charges but MJF pulls in Red Shoes at the last moment and Cena lariats the poor lad into the nether realms. Low Blow by MJF! Crowd jeers as he taunts them. He pulls out the diamond ring out of his trunks and laughs. He taunts the crowd more as he lines up Cena for the KO punch. But he misses and Cena ducks under. Picks him up on his shoulders.

ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!

But he doesn’t pin him, he puts MJF back on his shoulders and roars. He climbs the top rope with him. OH MY GOD!

AVALANCHE ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT!

Cena slowly crawls over to pin Maxwell. An almost dead Red Shoes somehow wakes up in the nick of time. He brings his arm down to the mat.

1…2…3!

Winner:
John Cena



The crowd goes ballistic as Cena’s hand is raised! MJF’s hands hide his face as he painfully and slowly rolls out of the ring. He shoves away members of The Pinnacle who finally made their way out after their own embarrassing loss earlier in the evening.

The crowd chants CENA CENA CENA as he poses on the turnbuckle and points at a retreating MJF. John Cena has once again booked himself a date with destiny.

A really solid show - and I think if anniversary shows were at this standard IRL, they would be a lot more important to a larger audience.

March 7th, 2022

Kyoto Prefectural Gymnasium, Kyoto, Japan

12 days until New Japan Cup PPV







The show kicks off with the newly acquired theme from X Japan blaring throughout the arena as pyro goes off and the Japanese crowd roars.

The cheers would continue as the fabled Big Match John’s theme hits and he walks through the curtains to a gigantic ovation.





Cena: Kyoto Japan, the next champ is here! Last week, in one of the most famed buildings in all of professional wrestling, I put it all on the line. Loss after loss, I grinded and more importantly, I never gave up. Let that be a lesson to anybody out here or in the back, when you fall down…When you think you’ve got nothing left to give…There’s always an extra gear, so long as you believe in yourself and put in the work.

Last week I pinned the Intercontinental IWGP champion Maxwell Jacob Friedman. I pinned him in the middle of this very ring in front of the whole world. And now, Maxy boy…Well now you’re going to give me that title match! On March 19th at New Japan Cup Max I am taking your title and there is not a damn thing you can do about it!





MJF comes out from behind the curtain microphone but stays safely away on the ramp.

MJF: Cut my music, cut my music! John no one wants to hear your dated motivational speech from 2005, we’ve moved on bud. See you’re acting mighty confident right now, and I will give you that yes, you did beat me last week. But let’s be honest John, we both know that I was not close to 100% and I did you a favor by giving you that match. I also know for a fact that you used your dirty politics, just like you have your entire career, to bury my friends on the pre-show so they couldn’t support their best mensch in the main event. We both know that if neither of those things were the case, I’d have beaten you quicker than you change the color on your shirts when you start to become irrelevant again.

MJF: And really that’s what you are John, irrelevant and dated. Maxwell Jacob Friedman is the present. Maxwell Jacob Friedman is the future. You’re just going to be another footnote in my story!


Cena: Max you talk a lot of crap for a guy who just laid on his back for me. You can talk about being the present or the future all you want. The fact of the matter is, your cheap tanned ass is about to get whooped again and this time I’m taking your gold home with me, son!

MJF: John, you decrepit fool, you have no idea what you have started. You will be lucky to make it to the New Japan Cup.

From behind him Maclin slides into the ring with a bat and cracks Cena in the back of the head with it. MJF runs up to the ring and joins Maclin in the beat down. Massive spear by Maclin folds Cena in half. MJF demands he gets him up on his feet, takes out the diamond ring from his suit pocket and punches John Cena in the middle of the forehead, busting him open. Mjf stands over the bloody and barely conscious Cena.

MJF: Looks like I can still see you, huh bud?

Both MJF and Maclin walk away as NJPW officials and the medical team makes its way down to check on Cena.

– commercial break –

Samoa Joe vs Hiromu Takahashi

The opening contest is the first of four remaining matches in the second round of the New Japan Cup.

Samoa Joe would play the Goliath to Hiromu’s David in a classic babyface in peril matchup. Hiromu would use his agility and speed to some positive effects early on, chopping Joe down with knee level drop kicks and flying forearms while dodging the power game. Joe would eventually use his own sneaky agility to position himself in a counter position and hit a gnarly Uranage on a sling blade attempt. Joe chops him down in the corner. Early Musclebuster attempt but it’s countered into a hurricanrana. Joe slides to the outside but Hiromu meets him head on with a senton atomico off the top rope.Back in the ring Hiromu heats up some more and actually pulls a feat of strength by lifting Joe on his shoulders and nailing him with his signature death valley driver onto the top rope. 2 count.

Chop exchange by both men and Hiromu hangs in there with the big man. Knee to the face by Hiromu. D Driver attempts but Joe powers out. Nasty punching combination by Joe into the corner. Signature pele style kick by Joe. He sets Hiromu on the top turnbuckle looking for the Muscle Buster. Takahashi continues to battle. Joe changes course and climbs up as well, looking now for a superplex. Hiromu slithers between his legs and under Joe and reverses…into a powerbomb!

So close! Hiromu lets out a battle cry. He kicks a downed Joe mercilessly and starts to pick him up looking for the Time Bomb 2. Hiromu can’t hold on and Joe uses his weight to roll backwards and take Hiromu’s back and after some struggle, wraps his forearm around the throat of Takahashi. The Coquina Clutch is cinched in. Hiromu refuses to quit and reaches for the ropes. It’s too late. The blood eventually stops going to his head and he loses consciousness. Red Shoes has to call it.

Winner: Samoa Joe - 18:01 – Choke-out via Coquina Clutch

– commercial break –

Returning from commercial break the announcers let us know that Syuri will be making an open challenge defense tonight for the White Belt. They also confirm that the main event of the evening will be the round 2 New Japan Cup match of Naito for Hiroshi Tanahashi.

We then go backstage where Jushin Liger is standing by with IWGP World Heavyweight Champion Kazuchika Okada.

(in Japanese)
Liger: Okada-Chan, last week you punched your ticket to the quarter finals of the New Japan Cup. In doing so, you destroyed your stablemate, Toru Yano, in pretty embarrassing fashion. Did you not feel a bit bad with how quickly you beat him and with such aggression?

Okada: Okada…CHAN? Are you treating me like a child? Are you treating me with disrespect? I am the world champion of New Japan and you should know better than to use such disrespectful honorifics.

Liger : Okada-sama I meant no disrespect. I’ve known you for a long time and thought we were friends and could joke around.

Okada: Does it look like I have been joking around? Do I look like I am laughing? This tournament isn’t a joke. This title I proudly carry around is not a joke. Toru was not focused. He learned a lesson last week.

As he is about to continue Toru himself walks into the shot.

Toru: Okada-sama, what the hell man? I was trying to shake your hand and make the crowd happy. You refused and hit me from behind. We are supposed to be on the same team and you made a fool of me!

Okada: You made a fool of yourself. Just like you always do.

Toru: What the hell did you say?

Toru tries to posture up to Okada, but Okada immediately slaps him across the face. Toru grabs his face in shock.

Okada: Now get your ass back to the gym and train. You’re an embarrassment to this company.

Toru would look down at the floor and walk away.

Okada: I’m focused on one thing only, Liger, and that’s defending my title. If anyone else has a problem with how I behave in and out of the ring, they know where to find me.

Okada walks away from the show now. However, out of focus in a nearby hallway, we see a man all in black. Once the camera focuses, we see it is of course Malakai himself, savoring the nearby instability of the world champion.

Black Desire vs Cosmic Angels (Unagi and Blue) - non title

After both teams make their entrance and before the bell, a familiar music abruptly begins to play.



The doctor will see you now! Britt Baker emerges from the back and joins Nigel,Mauro and Kevin Kelly at the commentary desk. Britt declares she is here to scout the champs before she and Mickie James take their titles.

The match would be fairly quick with the champions going into high gear immediately almost to show off in front of Baker.After discarding Unagi on the outside, they would team up rapidly on Sky and SLK would put her on the top turnbuckle and execute Eternal Foe (Spanish Fly) for the easy victory.

Winners: Black Desire

After the fight Starlight Kid and Momo would charge up the ramp and Starlight Kid would get in Baker’s face. Some pushing and shoving would occur and SLK would pie face The Doctor. Referees and Mickie James would run out and hold Baker back as Kid would taunt and laugh at her.

Kota Ibushi vs Konosuke Takeshita

This match saw both men go absolutely all out in a breathtaking instant classic. Another huge test for the ex DDT phenom Takeshita as a former Ace of DDT Ibushi himself would stand in his way.

Big staredown to start, greco roman knuckle lock. Takeshita overpowers and throws Ibushi to the ropes. Dodges lariat by Ibushi, leg lariat by Ibushi. Takeshita gets up right away. Chop battle. Combinations by Ibushi and a midsection back kick. Flying forearm off the ropes puts Konosuke down for a brief 1 count.

Submission attempt by Ibushi but Konosuke powers out and lifts him up for a backdrop driver. Powerbomb attempt by Takeshita. Ibushi throws down punches and escapes. Standing V-trigger knee strike to the face by Ibushi.Reckless exploder suplex by Ibushi followed by a standing moonsault. 2 count this time with the pinfall.

Ibushi grabs both Takeshita’s wrists from behind and brings him to his feet in a straight jacket lock. Konosuke overpowers him and hucks him over his shoulder to the mat in front of them. Quick kip up by Ibushi who rushes Konosuke who side steps and throws him to the ropes. Konosuke charges the ropes himself right at Ibushi after he bounces back dodging a lariat in the process. Both men hit opposite ropes but it’s Konosuke who takes flight for a picture perfect jumping lariat that sends Ibushi turning inside out. Cover for a near 2 count.

Takeshita takes control and lights up Ibushis face with a series of brutal forearms after bringing him to a vertical base.Big vertical suplex immediately followed by a release german suplex. Ibushi is seeing stars on the apron. Another close 2 count when Takeshita goes in for a pin.

Takeshita taunts as if he wants to end it. He places Ibushi in a powerbomb position and attempts but Ibushi grabs the top rope and sends Konosuke to the outside with headscissors. Moonsault to the outside knocks down Takeshita again. Ibushi drags Takeshita to his feet and back into the ring. He climbs to the top and goes for a Phoenix Splash…but Takeshita gets the knees up! Both men are exhausted on the canvas.

Both men get to one knee and forearm each other in the face for a while and it rules. Rolling elbow by Konuske. Jumping knee strike by Ibushi. Forearm flurry by Kosuke. Kicking Combination by Ibushi ends in a low spin kick that kneels Takeshita. Standing knee strikes to the face but Konosuke manages to catch the knee of his running opponent and use his momentum to lift and spin for a Blue Thunder Bomb. Cover and Ibushi barely kicks out at 2.9!

Konosuke does a primal scream and lowers his knee pad. He runs at Ibushi who dodges the Flying Knee at the last moment and nails a desperate Poisonrana! He shakes off the pain and also roars out his battle spirit. He grabs Konosukes left wrist and struggles to bring him to his knees. He then grabs the right wrist. He arches back then launches himself and his right knee forward for the Kamigoye but Konuske catches him and stands up and absorbs the blow into his chest! He holds Ibushi in the air and slams him down into a modified power bomb like slam. He wastes no time and uses the reverse double wristlock he maintains and turns it into a straight jacket lock. He lifts Ibushi up off his feet and drives his head and neck backwards into the mat. He maintains form and gracefully balances his head on the canvas for a pinning combination. What a beautiful bridging straight-jacket german suplex.

1…2…3!

Winner: 24:01 Konosuke Takeshita via pinfall with a Bridging Straight-Jacket German Suplex

The crowd is stunned but jubilant as the young Konosuke Takeshita wins another dramatic upset! Ibushi can’t believe it, but ultimately hugs and raises Takeshita’s hand for the crowd to cheer.

– commercial break –

Cena is in the arena infirmary being attended to by medical staff as a camera crew with Funaki enters and asks him about his status going into the New Japan Cup PPV.

“I may be a bit shook up and bloodied right now, but if you have followed me and my career, you know laying down and giving up are not in my vocabulary. If Lil’ Mac wants to step up to the franchise and gank him from behind, let’s see if he has the courage to do it face to face, man to man. Next week on World, logic be damned you me and you, in the ring, if you have the guts. Now I gotta get stitched up, peace!”



Back in the ring, Syuri is already in the ring stretching. Commentary informs us that she has demanded NJPW throw any challenger at her so she can keep sharp. Who it may be seems to be unknown to all.



It’s Hyper Misao! What is she even doing here, did she get lost? Who cares! She comes down and salutes the crowd and does very cool poses that make her look really tough!

She marches to the crowd’s delight and slides into a ring. Syurir is staring daggers at her but showing no emotion whatsoever.

Syuri vs. Hyper Misao

Misao waves to the crowd and goes to shake Syuri’s hand, who refuses. Massive punch from Syuri who unloads a flurry of follow up forearms to the side of the head. Kick to the side of the body. Arm drag takeover sits Misao down and Syuri goes for an armbar, forcing Misao to the ropes.

Misao rolls under the ropes to outside and runs away as Syuri chases her back into the ring. Misao hits the ropes and hits a flying forearm! Punch and kick combination from the hero! Roundhouse kick attempt by Syuri bu Misao ducks under and hits a backdrop driver. Syuri is stunned. Misao climbs the ropes and screams that she is a hero and Syuri gets back to her feet. She dives in with a crossbody! Syuiri catches her however, and dunks her on her neck with a modified air raid crash sitout driver.Syuriy quickly brings Misa to her knees and dumps her back on her face with a nasty arms locked Pedigree. Syuri climbs on top off the body and shoves her arm on top of her face to add insult to injury.

As we come back from break we see a dejected Hyper Misao hold her neck in pain. Candice LaRae approaches her but they walk away before the camera can pick up their conversation.

Ishii vs Rush

Both men would make their entrance, with Andrade accompanying Rush to the ring wearing his NEVER 6 man title belt. The match would be hard hitting on both sides and Ishii would begin to take control as Rush would unwisely try to outstrike him. Rush would attempt to rip out a turnbuckle pad, drawing the attention of the referee. Andrade would hop on the apron and get Ishii’s attention, allowing Rush to grab the sneakily slid in title belt and smash Ishii in the back of the head with it. Ishii would lay in the corner as Rush would discard the evidence and smash him in the face with his flying drop kick for the tainted victory.

Winner: Rush

Rush would celebrate with Andrade as Ishii lays in the ring wondering what happened. He won’t be happy looking back at this one.



A vignette plays of Kris Statlander cutting a promo right after her epic street fight tag win against Bea Priestley and Suzu Suzuki. She says her and Willow proved they belonged in Stardom and that they won’t be bullied by anyone. She then challenges Bea to a one on one match at New Japan Cup to settle the score once and for all between them.

– commercial break –

Back from the commercial break, outside the arena, we see a sad Toru Yano, clearly upset with Okada’s treatment of him earlier setting up his DVD booth. After finally setting the last DVD case on a perfect angle with the others, Miro would come out of nowhere and flip his entire cart into the air. As it crashes down upside down he hits Yano with a thunderous lariat down into the concrete. It appears like Miro isn’t too happy about Yano upsetting and embarrassing him in the tournament in the 1st round.

The House of Black ( Matthews, Kenoh, Soya) w/ NEVER openweight Champion Brody King vs. L.A Dojo (Coughlin, Narita, Uemaru) w/ Katsuyori Shibata

House of Black make their entrance accompanied by the undisputed NEVER Openweight Champion Brody King to a lot of boos. In contrast, the Japanese crowd explodes as Shibat’s music hits and he leads his Dojo down the ramp.

The match would be especially hard hitting when Coughlin and the Red Hand members would be in, and more technical or speedy with the other competitors. All would look like absolute would beaters with LA Dojo especially wowing the crowd with their raw talent and explosiveness.

Brody King would successfully cause a distraction but is accosted by Shibata on the attempt of a second one. Some pushing and shoving occurs which leads to Red Hand mistiming a dirty tag and being forced back in for La Dojo to take advantage. Back on the outside Shibata and King are in an outright brawl. King smashes him into the barricade but misses a cannonball attempt.

In the ring, Matthews is distracted by King’s crash and burn into the barricade and misses a desperate tag from Soya. Alex Coughlin would take advantage and hit a series of devastating deadlift suplexes and a big powerbomb for the pinfall victory.

Winners: LA Dojo

Brody King would walk away with his team, clutching his lower back and cursing at Shibata in the process.



Backstage, Funaki would catch up with NJPW Tag Champions Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa.

Johnny: My man Funaki, we have been looking for you. Yes, we saw Best Friends become number one contenders last Wednesday on the 50th Anniversary show. We think that’s awesome and want to get this match done right away!

Campa: Woah woah woah there little buddy. You’re just coming off a cup loss, tonight's not the night. We can’t be taking risks like this when we are finally on top of the world. We need to prepare and heal.

Johnny: Well I believe we can take on anyone at any time!

Ciampa: And how did that work out for you in singles action huh?

Johnny: Better than you!

Ciampa: …Really? That’s the direction you wanna go man?

Johnny: Sorry…I got caught up in the moment.

Ciampa: …Sure. Either way, not tonight. New Japan Cup, Best Friends, bring your A game because you're gonna need it.

Ciampa walks away before Gargano can chip in further.

Gargano: Did I do something wrong?

– commercial break –

Back from break the lights would turn off and then on again with Malakai Black appearing in the middle of the ring, microphone in hand. He addresses Okada once more, describing how he has now fully corrupted his mind and we are seeing the real Okada now. He says that deep down Okada doesn’t crave the attention of the fans or the respect of his peers. All Okada cares about is the prestige and glory that comes with being the NJPW World Heavyweight Champion. He says that we are seeing now that at his core, at his truest self, Okada will do anything to hold on to that power because without it he has no one and nothing. He asks how his friends feel now that he is treating them as an obstacle in his way. He mentions the disrespect he has shown to his own stablemates. He then asks if his wife at home is proud of what he has become and how he now behaves. He asks if Okada is the type of man that is still worthy of being a good husband. Maybe the man he has become now isn’t suited to be future father or family man, after all, being champion means it requires all his focus. He says that maybe since he is busy, he should pay Okada’s wife a visit in the middle of the night, since she must be awfully scared and lonely now.



Okada would come bursting out, only for Malakai to laugh and turn off the lights again. Once the lights come back on, Okada is in the ring by himself. He rushes to the back, destroying a few security guards trying to slow him down.

He comes through the curtain and throws a table to the side, screaming at anyone to tell him where Malakai is. Tanashi is present, getting ready for his main event match entrance. He tries to approach Okada who berates him immediately. When Tanahashi tries to put his hand on Okada’s shoulder, Okada violently throws his hand off him. Tanahashi shrugs and backs off.

Kenta Kobashi would appear and demand Okada calm himself and behave like a champion. Okada has completely lost it and shoves Kobashi in the chest and down to the ground. At this point all security personnel would finally contain Okada. Kobashi would stand up and dust himself off and tell Okada and the staff that he would be escorted out of the building for the evening. He would calmly tell Okada that he had made a grave error and that he had given him no choice to take further punitive actions. He says the consequences of his actions will have to be decided, but tonight's expulsion would not be the end of it.

Hiroshi Tanahashi vs Tetsuya Naito

The main event would deliver a classic NJPW matchup with all the bells and whistles you would expect from two of the very best to over lace ‘em in Japan.

The match would start on the inside with Naito working the lower back of Tanahashi. An early Gloria is countered. Strike exchange won by Naito. Dropkick to the back of Tana sends him to the outside.

Naito launches himself off the top rope for a crossbody to the outside. Beats up Tanahashi more on the floor but Tanahashi reverses a hammer throw and Naito ends up going face first into the corner post.

Tanashia takes over on the inside with a series of strikes and snap suplexes. Top rope elbow drop misses. Gloria by Naito for a 2 count. Naito works the lower back some more with some kicks. Locks in the Pluma Blanca, but Hiroshi eventually powers out of it with some elbows to the solar plexus.

Naito cuts off the comeback and goes for Destino but Tana pushes him off into the ropes and hits a couple of back to back sling blades. Top rope elbow drop hits and he puts Naito in the cloverleaf. Naito drags himself to the ropes eventually for the break.

Chop battle into a forearm strike exchange. Lariat dodges by Tanahashi who hits another sling blade. Bridging suplex attempt by Tanahashi, reversal by Naito, Destino attempt by Naito but Hiroshi lands on his feet to counter behind him. Snap dragon by Tana but Naito backflips onto his feet but lands gingerly. Naito grabs the neck. DESTINO!

Hiroshi foot on the rope. Naito can’t believe it. He brings Tanahashi back to his feet slowly. Goes to Destino again…but Tanahashi reverses. Destino of his own!

Naito kicks out. This time Tanahashi can’t believe it. Reversal battle for position. Destino countered into a mid air sling blade! Elbows to the back of Naito in the corner. Tanahashi sets him up on the top pad…and launches him backwards with an avalanche release dragon! Slowly climbs back up again….

HIGH FLY FLOW!

Winner: Hiroshi Tanahashi at 24:21 via pinfall (High Fly Flow)

The show would go off the air with Tanahashi celebrating on the top turnbuckle, making belt signs around his waist and playing air guitar. Naito would ice his neck and walk to the back, dejected and disgusted with himself.​

New Japan Cup Final Preview

New Japan Cup Finals - Battle Cry (preshow)

ZsKIlIyRuc6W7DRGZBYV-QKG7j5mbMVpL-Khya3pRYw-wELRF9ruMoysQuq8eDEFlQ7nmjjvi9BX5FmSVGlyaK9CoiyjbM8InBJlqVqFliZhDae0aFTSZTZi-Wg_u-wrxWF_4RzLmqH3m-prPPuUSbo


Non title 6 man tag - Kota Ibushi, Tomohiro Ishii and Bandido vs. LFI (Andrade, Rush, Naito)

Feud Recap: NEVER 6 man tag champions LFI have been not only running roughshod on the 6 man division but also interfering in each other's New Japan Cup matches. Unfortunately for LFI not only did none of them end up making the finals, they have made multiple enemies and have decided to team up to teach them a lesson. Will LFI continue their dominance or will the face trio show them up and maybe earn a shot at the titles themselve?

Aussie Open vs Mustafa Ali and Dijak

Feud Recap: Will Ospreay defeated Dijak in the quarter finals of the New Japan Cup but would suffer a post match beatdown at the hands of the former and his mentor Mustafa Ali. Aussie Open look to get revenge for their United Empire leader as they attempt to take the dastardly duo down under.

KPOW - Miro vs Yano - Dog Cage Match

Feud Recap:
After Miro obtained the King of Pro Wrestling trophy he immediately lost some steam by getting tricked and defeated by Tory Yano in the opening round of the New Japan Cup. Miro would get his revenge later by assaulting Toru Yano in the parking lot and destroying his DVD stand. Miro would then challenge Toru to a dog kennel match to make Yano “his bitch”.

Kris Statlander vs. Bea Priestley

Feud Recap: This personal feud has been boiling over for weeks as Bea Priestley dodged Kris Stratlander and threw new Oedo Tai recruits at the young powerhouse. Finally, Kris gets her hands on Bea one on one. Will she be able to prove her worth in the division by taking out a former champion and current stable leader? Or will the crafty Bea find yet another way to get the upper hand?

IWGP JR #1 1 contender 6 man scramble - Wheeler Yuta vs Laredo Kid vs Ishimori vs Speedball Mike Bailey vs Taurus vs Darby Allen

Feud Recap:
Just a good old #1 contender scramble.

Wonder of Stardom Title Match - Syuri vs Meiko Satomura

Feud Recap
: Syuri has been dominating since arriving on the Wonder of Stardom title scene. She immediately dismantled incumbent Candice Larae and dominated any opposition since. This week she resorted to chicanery to beat Candice in seconds in a rematch using the title as a weapon before the bell. Joshi legend and stablemate Meiko Satomura has seen enough and stepped up to Syuri and challenged her on the spot. This should be a hard hitting barnburner and rightfully the main event of the Battle Cry pre-show event.​

Wonder of Stardom Title Match - Syuri vs Meiko Satomura

Feud Recap
: Syuri has been dominating since arriving on the Wonder of Stardom title scene. She immediately dismantled incumbent Candice Larae and dominated any opposition since. This week she resorted to chicanery to beat Candice in seconds in a rematch using the title as a weapon before the bell. Joshi legend and stablemate Meiko Satomura has seen enough and stepped up to Syuri and challenged her on the spot. This should be a hard hitting barnburner and rightfully the main event of the Battle Cry pre-show event.​
*** due to world events - Aussie Open vs Mustafa and Dijak has been moved to next week's Money Night show.
*** Syuri v Meiko has been moved to the main PPV card
