Background

---

The members of Hybrid Club ARMADA, with the help of visiting (R)EVOLUTION wrestler Simon Raines, look to get their fighting confidence back following their leader Kenji Tanamura's loss to T.A.P.'s Ryo Inoue. On the other side, KyouHonGan continue to be KyouHonGan, this time teaming up with the mercenary RYUJI...

Match Progression

---

The members of ARMADA fought with determination throughout the match, while KHG did what they did best - fight dirty. The match started out with Sakai and Star, in which a collar-and-elbow tie-up ended with a thumb in the eye from Star on Sakai. Sakai, remembering his training, kept his cool but planted a closed-fist punch right in the face of Star! Star tagged in RYUJI, who didn't seem to have much better luck against the ARMADA stalwart. Sakai caught RYUJI in a jujigatame, but RYUJI was able to use a rope-break to regain composure and tag in Kyoto Okazaki.

Okazaki immediately caught Sakai with a surprise Colt Python, before a head crushing DDT for a two-count! Okazaki then pointed directly at Yuichi Miwa, challenging him. Okazaki let Sakai go, and Sakai tagged in Miwa. Miwa went right for Okazaki, catching "The Worst One" with a series of strikes that caught the heel by surprise, before a GREAT German Suplex hold for another near fall! Okazaki decided to tag in Kazuki Sendo, as Miwa tagged in Raines! Raines was eager to show everyone what he was made of, but Sendo blindsided him with a buzzsaw kick to the head! Raines looked a little woozy, but managed to tag out to Kitajima in order to recover. Kitajima and Sendo had at it, and Sendo nearly caught Kitajima with a submission via his 322 Clutch, but Miwa made a save, bringing out Okazaki again! Okazaki attempted a kick to the groin of Miwa to set up an Otokogoroshi, but Miwa managed to block the kick with a feeding kick, turned into a kneebar!!

In the chaos, Kitajima tagged in Raines, who hit a flash Phuket running bicycle knee to the face of Kazuki Sendo, sending the KHG member crashing down! The referee recognized Raines as the legal man, as he covered... ONE, TWO, THREEEEE!!! Post-match, the KHG members wanted to make big noise against ARMADA, but with Okazaki barely able to walk at that point, they retreated to the exits as ARMADA celebrated with their (R)EVOLUTION ally...

Backstage Comment

Yuichi Miwa: "It was a tricky match up, but technique overcomes everything."

---Is there any update regarding your leader, Kenji Tanamura?

Yuichi Miwa: "Tanamura-sensei is still recovering from his injuries... The fight with Inoue pushed him beyond his limits... But sensei has never quit! He'll make a full recovery and rejoin us in this war. In the meantime, it's up to us to push back against Inoue and T.A.P.!"

Okazaki: "I have no opinions about this match. Sendo-kun lost -- Not me! My mind is focused on my match tomorrow against the kid from San Diego... The other one."

Biography: Yuichi Miwa was a student of kakutougi from a young age, specializing in amateur wrestling and kickboxing. Miwa competed in amateur kickboxing bouts during his youth, but would ultimately pursue a childhood dream of becoming a pro-wrestler. Miwa applied, and was accepted to Kazuma Fujita's dojo in Osaka, being a natural physical candidate. He would be apart of a special class of Fujita's students to be partially trained in the United States. Upon debuting in his native Japan, he was already a polished wrestler when he joined most of his classmates in Pro-Wrestling FURY.

Miwa aligned himself with Kenji Tanamura during these days, becoming one of Tanamura's first disciples. Tanamura instilled further discipline and instruction on the already hardened Miwa, who would become incredibly loyal to Tanamura. So much so, that he would follow him to his return to the MMA ring in 2007 when the two signed with the OLYMPUS Fighting Summit. Miwa thrived in the environment, best known for his series of thrilling fights with Hiroyuki "NEO-PUNK" Asano, which would lead to him capturing the OLYMPUS-FS Middleweight Crown from American Shane Jackson. Despite OFS later ceasing activities, Miwa would continue sporadic MMA activity over the year, before confirming his retirement from the sport in early 2012.

Like his mentor, Miwa made the return to pro-wrestling upon KJPW's inception, and now hopes to use all of the tools he's garnered over his career to bring him, and Kenji Tanamura's ARMADA to brand new heights.
