Aichi - Toyohashi City Gymnasium #2 (1,500)

* Kingdom of Japan Pro-Wrestling continued its Road to KANFES 2015 with an eventful night of results in Aichi. The atmosphere was somewhat lessened due to the half-house, which arguably resulted from a lack of a full card announced. Never the less, the 750+ in attendance watched with a great interest leading into the night's opening bout with FIGHTING LOVE!'s Yusuke Kishimoto and Maleko Momoa facing KyouHonGan's Kazuki Sendo and S☆S Star.

* One night removed from Korakuen Hall, KJPW continued the Road to KANFES 2015 just west of Tokyo in Yamanashi. The night opened with a spirited tag match between Harumi Sakai and Yusaku Kitajima of ARMADA against Hajime Kon and Maleko Momoa of Genji Yamato's ~ FIGHTING LOVE! ~ faction.

[Results] "Road to KANFES 2015," 2015/05/09 @ Korakuen Hall

* Prior to the broadcast opening, two junior heavyweights made their debut before the sell-out Korakuen Hall crowd. Ryo Nozawa, dressed in turquoise trunks and black boots, took on fellow KJPW dojo rookie Kappei Nakao, himself in plain green trunks & kneepads, with black amateur wrestling shoes. Nozawa, from a gymnastics background, was more flash than not, whereas Nakao has credentials in judo, karate and amateur wrestling, so his style was kept on the ground with hard strikes more often than not. It was back and forth for the allotted ten minutes, but neither could put the other away. A time-limit draw was declared, both men showing respect after the match.

[Results] "KING × KING," 2015/04/17 @ BODYMAKER Colosseum

* Prior to the start of the PPV broadcast, the assembled masses at BODYMAKER Colosseum were witness to a double debut, as junior heavyweights Yusuke Kishimoto and Maleko Momoa, both training under the auspices of Genji Yamato, showed off what they were made of. The match itself was pretty even, as Kishimoto and the Hawaiian native Momoa were both showing off high-flying prowess. In the end, however, it was on the ground that the match was determined, as Momoa managed to roll up Kishimoto with a small package for his debut win. After the match, Momoa and Kishimoto both shook hands, bowed to the crowd, and left the ring together, in good spirits as the TV broadcast began...

* The live PPV opened with Ring Announcer Kinta Nakayama welcoming all 7,500 fans to KING × KING in Osaka's BODYMAKER Colosseum to a thunderous reaction. The confident ring announcer then proceeded to read off the night's card lineup, with the fans anticipation building with every bout.

[Results] 2013/12/13 @ Tokyo Dome City Hall [iPPV]

-> ROAD TO DYNAMITE DELUXE 2013 <-

* The Road to "DYNAMITE DELUXE" in Ryogoku Kokugikan was on as KJPW advanced upon the Tokyo Dome City Hall, nearly filling the modern venue to capacity. In the main event, the "BIG BOSS" Chikao Kessin retained the HEC Heavyweight Title against the "Gladiator King" Kenji Tanamura in a fiercely brutal match for both competitors. It almost seemed as if Tanamura would take the title from the "BIG BOSS's" grasp after targeting Kessin's knees with sharp kicks and submissions. However, Kessin turned the time with his concussive strength to break Tanamura's defenses, before securing the victory with the "Disaster Point" wrist-clutch Backdrop. After the match, Kessin dared anybody to step up and challenge him. Before he could even finish the sentence, NAOKI FUKUDA appeared at ringside to accept the "BIG BOSS's" open challenge.

[Results] 2013/11/30 @ Kobe Sambo Hall [Samurai! TV]

* Coming out of the semi final, Hyogo's own Kenji Tanamura came out on top, earning the right in his eyes to challenge the "BIG BOSS" Chikao Kessin for the HEC Heavyweight Title. Choosing to face Tanamura's challenge head on, the "BIG BOSS" accepted the challenge without hesitation, and said it would be Tanamura's "funeral." While his last title match was a joyous affair, his next one will have a dark, gloomy atmosphere. Tanamura brought up beating Kessin in the semi finals of the initial "EMPEROR'S CUP" tournament earlier in the year. the "BIG BOSS" laughed that off, saying the man Tanamura fought then was dead. The man that stood before him now was "indomitable."

-> ROAD TO DYNAMITE DELUXE 2013 <-

* Despite being one of the oldest wrestlers on the roster, long-term veteran ATSUKA pulled off an amazing performance, coming within a hair of capturing the HEC Jr. Heavyweight Title. However, Hayato Saigo proved to be just one step ahead of him in the end, and capitalized on one moment of hesitation on the top turnbuckle to land an amazing somersault kick -- setting him up for the Avalanche Brainbuster! Both wrestlers pulled out all of the stops, prompting the rabid Osaka crowd to shower both combatants with praise and encouragement.

[Results] 2013/11/22 @ Korakuen Hall [Samurai! TV]

* In Korakuen Hall, the "BIG BOSS" made huge moves as moves as promised, with a strong new threat taking shape. While not known at the time, threads through out the night's card would play out in the scheduled main event between the KJPW side of Naoki Fukuda, Riki Ichiro, and Masafuji Yoshida vs. the TRIAD group of "BIG BOSS" Chikao Kessin and Double Goodwin... However, to understand what happened next, you must go back to the proceeding match...

[Results] "CHIKAO KESSIN TRIUMPHANT HOMECOMING ~ BIG BOSS RETURNS," 2013/11/16 @ Nagoya Congress Center

* "I am BIG BOSS! And from now on, I'M running this show." These were the words of the NEW HEC Heavyweight Champion -- Chikao Kessin. Despite having help from practically every member of TRIAD, his new gang established earlier in the night, Kessin would capture the belt from beloved babyface -- "DAUNTLESS" Naoki Fukuda after using his devastating wrist-clutch Backdrop Suplex called fittingly enough, the "Disaster Point." Kessin's victory was met with favorable cheers oddly enough. However, that was due largely in part due to Kessin's hometown following in Aichi.

[Results] 2013/11/10 @ BODYMAKER Colosseum #2

* Returning to possibly its hottest region, KJPW delivered an amazing main event to help solidify the fact that the Juniors are back! Amidst the drama plaguing the heavyweights, two primed competitors put aside their well-documented friendship to fight for what they believe to be the highest honor among those under the 100kg limit.
