Ehime - Nomura Town
Gymnasium (500)
*
The small yet full-capacity show opened with this tour's debutants, Ryo Nozawa
& Kappei Nakao, showing the Nomura Town Gymnasium what they were made of.
This time, instead of a draw as it was in their debut on 5/9, Nakao's
background in judo and karate served to counter Nozawa's more
gymnastics-oriented approach, and young Nozawa was made to submit to a crab
hold from his fellow Junior Seikigun rookie to warm applause from the Ehime
crowd.

Next, Yusaku Kitajima & Yukio Kisanuki of Hybrid Corps ARMADA were faced
with sometime-ally Yutaka Awano, this time teamed with Yusuke Kishimoto, from
Genji Yamato's FIGHTING LOVE! group. Another pretty evenly matched contest,
however the discipline and precision from the ARMADA members seemed to take
Kishimoto off his game, yet the Yamato-student showed a bit of surprise and
innovation that gave Kisanuki some trouble. Finally, Awano caught Kisanuki in a
Leg Roll Clutch for the win.

The two highly-touted heavyweights of FIGHTING LOVE! found themselves face to
face with two of the principals of ARMADA, as Kohei Obata & Hajime Kon
squared off against Kenji Tanamura & Harumi Sakai. The two rookies were
defeated by the more experienced ARMADA men, but both Kon and Obata have
Tanamura and Sakai some trouble, Kon with his endurance and strength, but Obata
more for his adaptability and improvisation. Tanamura found it difficult to use
the same move twice on Obata with much effect. In the end, however, Tanamura slapped
on a wakigatame on a prone Kon, and was forced into submission. A standing
ovation followed the match, ARMADA impressed with Yamato's disciples, showing
respect.

After three matches of pure wrestling, without incident, out came the heels, as
three members of KyouHonGan, led by AALL Intercontinental Welterweight Champion
Kyoto Okazaki, marched to the ring. Opposing their ways tonight were ATSUKA and
Yoshihiro Shimoda of the Junior Seikigun, joined by FIGHTING LOVE! Junior
Maleko Momoa. Between the three, Okazaki, Kazuki Sendo and S☆S Star did everything
possible to make life miserable for the other side, up to and including
interfering with the referee. Yet, as always, they did just enough to get out
of trouble, long enough to get right back into it. Momoa showed great fight,
nearly getting pin falls on both Sendo and Star on several occasions. ATSUKA
nearly had Okazaki at his mercy with an El Nudo Lagunero submission, but that
was broken up by Sendo! But, the bad guys would be victorious this time, during
a fantastic sequence that ended quickly when poor Momoa was caught in a
devastating Otokogoroshi by Okazaki, the KHG leader getting the pin on the
Hawaiian rookie.

A titanic clash of heavyweights was soon in following, as WWA National
Heavyweight Champion Riki Ichiro lead out three brawlers in Hiroaki Nakata,
Tetsuhisa NAKAI and Ryuugo Nagashima. On the other side came Ichiro's WWA belt
opponent at KANFES, "Nightmare Child" Norihiro Akashi, leading out
the Shin Dark Triad of "BIG" Jon Goodwin, James Goodwin, Jr., and
"Mr. Hard Body" Tsutomu Nishioka. To say this match was wild would be
putting it mildly. While not the out of control spectacle we saw
Nakata/NAKAI/Nagashima help perpetrate in Osaka on 5/15, these three ganged up
on Nishioka like brothers wronged. Thankfully for "Mr. Hard Body,"
the Goodwins provided more than enough support to keep the heels in it. Ichiro,
for his part, mainly concentrated on his challenger on 5/31, with Akashi more
than proving his credentials against the long-time WWA title-holder. One
particularly wild sequence came courtesy of NAKAI, who while not the legal man,
put Akashi through a table to the shock and thrills of the Ehime crowd. The
Goodwins also did a double-team number on Nakata on the outside during one sequence
towards the end, getting choke bombed to the floor by "BIG" Jon.
Finally, Ichiro proved why he was the leader of this motley crew, laying out
Nishioka with a thundering lariat to get the three count win over the heels.
Post-match, there was a lot of back and forth talk between NAKAI, Nagashima and
the Goodwins...

The night's main event featured a host of title hopefuls that will compete on
5/31. HEC Heavyweight Title contender Naoki Fukuda led a Seikigun trio with the
DREAM HEROES Jet Jaguar & GALLEON, against "Greco Superman"
Mamoru Sekishima, partnered, uncharacteristically, still, with the AALL Tag
Team champions, KyouHonGon's HOT LIMIT (Wataru Yamada & Keisuke Rongai).
Indeed, all through the match, HOT LIMIT seemed irritated with Sekishima, on a
quest to win the hearts and minds of the KJPW faithful, and would not
participate in Yamada & Rongai's heel tactics. Sekishima was instead
focused on Fukuda tonight, and once more impressed the fans with his ability to
catch Fukuda in a nodowa-otoshi that sent the ring shaking from its force! The
DREAM HEROES and HOT LIMIT had their moments too, including a comedic bit with
GALLEON pretending to "unmask" Yamada, in revenge for HOT LIMITS
de-masking shenanigans on 4/17 and 5/9! The heavyweights seemed out of sorts
against the juniors, and Sekishima particularly looked contrite when wrestling
against Jet Jaguar, as if to apologize for HOT LIMIT's underhanded tactics. The
exciting finish came when Fukuda performed a massive Mastodon Crash on Rongai,
crushing the AALL tag champ, before tagging in Jet Jaguar, who pinned Rongai
following a Jaguar Special delivered with authority and intent! Following the
match, the Seikigun celebrated, but Fukuda got on the house mic and BERATED
Sekishima, saying that the "Greco Superman" should be ashamed of
himself, and that as long as he associated with "pond scum" like HOT
LIMIT, he will NEVER be worthy of holding the HEC Heavyweight Title. Sekishima,
who stuck around post-match, looked remorseful, but also got back on the mic himself,
saying he did not choose this match tonight, but he WILL choose to beat Fukuda
and be the champion he knows he can be! This lead to a stare down that had to
be broken up by the DREAM HEROES, but Sekishima left the ring first, to close
out the night in Ehime...
