30 Mar 2005 Differ Cup

A Toryumon entrant has officially been confirmed for the Differ Cup. Exactly who wasn't mentioned. Easy to assume The Tiger would be one of the 2.

28 Mar 2005 Italian Connection history

With the Italian Connection future in doubt, I have changed their data section to include a history write up, similar to the ones CMAX and Aagan have,

28 Mar 2005 3/28 THE BRAVE GATE TOUR

3/28/2005 Sagamihara, Sagamihara City Synthesis Gym

5. CIMA, Naruki Doi, Masato Yoshino{W} (16:45 Another Space) Masaaki Mochizuki, Susumu Yokosuka, K-ness{L}

Yoshino has undergone a complete character transformation. He has cut his hair, and now wears a two -shoulder singlet style outfit. I have to see this because I can't even imagine this.
Pos. HEARTS is a combinaiton of Possible and Hearts. Anthony said the group is sort of a brother group to Do FIXER. Magnum will continue to act as an observer to both sides, competing where he feels like.

26 Mar 2005 3/27 Differ

3/27/2005 Differ Ariake
1. Masaaki Mochizuki (Time Limit Draw) Susumu Yokosuka
2. Masaaki Mochizuki, Susumu Yokosuka{W} (3:31 From Shachihoko Moonsault) Stalker Ichikawa{L}, Shachihoko Machine
3. Keni'chiro Arai{W}, Michael Iwasa (14:40 Hanshin Tiger Suplex) CIMA{L}, Don Fujii
4. Magnum TOKYO, Anthony W. Mori, Super Shisa{W}, BxB Hulk (16:37 Yoshi Tonic) Ryo Saito, Dragon Kid, Genki Horiguchi, Naoki Tanizaki{L}
5. Naruki Doi{W}, Shingo Takagi (14:15 Bakatare Sliding Kick) K-ness{L}, YOSSINO

Daniel was back, taking second for Michael in match 3. BloodGen rushed the ring afterwards, leading to a brawl. It was decided that Florida would go for their revenge at Korakuen on 4/8, facing CIMA and Doi in a tag. Araken will also face Fujii at Korakuen, in Fujiis' hurdle match, as he appeals for a Dream Gate match.
Anthony, Hulk, and Shisa have formed their own unit called Pos. HEARTS. Anthony is the leader. Magnum formally nominated Ryo to full time leader of Do FIXER, while he himself acts as an observer and boss of sorts to both sides. Shisa challenged Doi to defened the Brave Gate against him first, before giving Daniel his shot. This will happen on 4/3 in Kobe.
YOSSINO betrayed K-ness in the main event. He appealed for BloodGen entrance. Doi was very open to it, but CIMA wasn't too sure of it. Doi invited CIMA to look at YOSSINOs' physique, which is of course the concept behind BloodGen (strength and nice body). CIMA then quickly warmed up to the idea. The final condition from YOSSINOs' side was that all matches not end in DQ. CIMA accepted this. It was decided he would return to his real name, Masato Yoshino, and would cut his hair tomorrow before the Sagimahara show....
In non show notes...

Milano posted ot the GAORA ItaCon blog after the show, saying he wasn't sure of his future movement. He said he would like to grow up as a wrestler, and may have to leave to foreign countries to do it.
Jet(!!!!) appeared at the DDT show today, showing up during their "INFORMATION CORNER" segent in a suit. He is aligned with Masa Takanashi, to whom he was a senior student in the Toryumon system. Everytime he tried to talk Takanashi would cut him off, as always with Jet. Best of luck to the 3rd member of Aagan Iisou to find a place.

5. Susumu Yokosuka, YOSSINO{W}, K-ness (17:15 Another Space) Ryo Saito, Dragon Kid, Naoki Tanizaki{L}

YOSSINO AND K-ness opened the show. They discussed the happenings in Nagoya and their joint struggle. YOSSINO said he would not join FM2K, and noted he was pinned in Fukui because of a mis-aimed Susumu lariat. Doi came out and extended an invitation to YOSSINO to join BloodGen, he refused.
Magnum and Shisa came out to a new theme called "I LOVE DO FIXER", which is interesting, given the current alignment issues...
Ichikawa challenged the Shachihoko to a match tomorrow.
Araken jokingly left FM2K to join Florida, changing his name to Kentcuky Arai. He said he, Danny, and Michael should start their own joint struggle (all in joking terms). Araken said he doubted Fujii as the next Dream Gate challenger, so they would meet in a singles, as Fujiis "hurdle" match in the near future. Iwasa continued his return to serious roots, pulling out the Goliath Bird Eater!
YOSSINO and Susumu continued to have problems in the main. Lot of ignoring for tags and mis-aimed attacks. K-ness had them shake hands after, but the tension remained.
Milano again gave an autograph session afterwards.

6. CIMA, Don Fujii, Naruki Doi{W} (18:53 Bakatare Sliding Kick) Magnum TOKYO, Super Shisa, Anthony W. Mori{L}

Eventful show, in small scale sense. Milano did attend. He did an autograph session with YOSSINO. Observers said he was walking normally, which is a good sign.
Before match 3, Shingo and Doi spoke about the Danny accident, taunting Iwasa. Both of them got some good heel heat for it, which is again a good sign. Michael was in serious mode for the match.
K-ness and YOSSINO formed a Brave Gate team of sorts, the first time since September 2003. Tanizaki again performed poorly, and it was later announced he was being excused from performing for awhile. (Continuing the angle started in Nagoya).
CIMA again talked about Danny after the main, using some harsh words. Shingo and Doi again told fans to come to the ring if they had a problem with them. Fujii stepped forward as a Dream Gate challenger, but it's being downplayed for now.

17 Mar 2005 5/14 Toryumon Mexico, Asai Speaks again

There was an interview with Sayama and Asai on iMode today. Asai said that Ultimo Dragon was not totally dead, as he would use the gimmick in Mexico. He would continue as The Tiger in Japan. He also did mention that there was currently no chance of him returning to WWE.
The card for the 5/14 Toryumon Mexico show was announced, with Sayama and Los Salseros Japoneses participation.

16 Mar 2005 Update on Milano

Milano wrote in on the Gaora site for the first time in awhile. He is recovering well from his injury, and can again walk comfortably. He hopes to be in Nagano tomorrow night to do an autograph session. That makes 2 bits a good news, after the relieving news that Danny doesn't have a serious head injury. Hopefully both can make a speedy return to the ring.

15 Mar 2005 Update on Danny

Some good news, after the scary accident in Nagoya. Although he needed 15 stitches, Danny will be OK from his injury. A CAT scan showed no problems. Hopefully he will be back in action soon.

12 Mar 2005 3/13 THE BRAVE GATE TOUR, The Brave Gate is Open

10. Open the Brave Gate Finals
Naruki Doi (21:01 Bakatare Sliding Kick) YOSSINO
**Doi becomes the 1st Open the Brave Gate Champion

The show opened with all the Brave Gate participants coming uot. Danny is back to his shaved head look. PSYCHO attacked Naoki, then left. K-ness greeted the fans, to a very heavy reception. All first round matches have a 20 minute time limit.
YOSSINO doesn't have on his traditional tarzan costume, wearing only plain white tights. (They are still dangerously small).
PSYCHO handled Tanizaki easily, countering a sneak attack. Naoki bowed to the crowd before leaving, perhaps symbolizing the start of some sort of angle with him (his rock bottom moment).
Shisa has Anthony and Hulk as his seconds. They and Blood Gen intruded, causing a no contest. Kanda restarted the match. Shisa had Doi pinned with the Yoshi Tonic, but one of the BloodGen pulled the referee out. Doi won with the Doi 555->Bakatare.
Genki attacked before the bell. The match was 100% straight, no comedy. Genki managed to hit the Beach Break, but was too hurt to cover quickly. Danny rolled through a Backslide with the Danny*Yell to win clean!
Apparently it was a good night for the Shachihoko Machine, as he was very popular with the Nagoya crowd. Shachihoko statues guard the castle in Nagoya, which is why the Machine usually appears on Nagoya shows.
The much anticipated battle of the Sol Naciente and Suenyo took place near the end of YOSSINO/PSYCHO. (The Suenyo is a submission similar to the Sol Naciente). PSYCHO went for his Tomahawk Wave->High Fly Bomb gold combo, but YOSSINO evaded it, and came back with the Torbellino->Another Space to move to the finals.
Danny continued his newfound serious mode rush. He attacked Doi swiftly, hitting the Lou Thesz early. He went for a tope, but Doi caught him in mid dive with a hard chair attack, which opened a big cut on his head. This lead to the ref stop.
Yes, that is Akitoshi Saito of NOAH fame. He now holds the Worst X Ever title. I think Animal Warrior as X on a WCW ppv was better. He was seconded by Takashi Sugiura, also of NOAH.
An update on Danny came through during the match, he was taken from the arena in an ambulance.
Saito stuck a sticker for his Dark Agents unit on Stalker, while Sugiura addressed the crowd. He gave a greeting to the DG fans, asking them to aid Dark Agents in the future over in NOAH.
Magnum danced, then introduced Hulk. He hoped the fans would see the same potential he does. BloodGen entered, Fujii attacking Tozawa as has become the norm.
CIMA kept attacking Hulk after the match, beating him with a chair. Michael(!!!) of all people came out to his aid!
Doi finally succeeds in winning his first singles gold. He brought his newfound rough fight right to YOSSINO. The pace went back and forth, with each hitting their trademarks. It came down to a battle of finishers. A Doi 555 was countered with a DDT, followed by the Ude Yoshino and Sol Naciente gold combo. Doi got to the ropes, and came back with a Cross Arm German and Bakatare, neither good enough. YOSSINO regained with the Another Space, but was too hurt to cover. A rope battle ended with an Avalanche Doi 555, then another Bakatare. YOSSINO wouldn't stay down, until finally Doi hit several Bakatare in a row, to defeat his nemesis. He eventually gave a short speech afterwards, saying he was wearing the belt created by K-ness and YOSSINO. He taunted them both, brininging out K-ness.
K-ness shook hands with YOSSINO, rekindling their partnership.
Doi said some harsh words about Danny, and said he would defend the Brave Gate against him. Kanda said they would have to determine how bad his injury is first.

12 Mar 2005 Kondo and YASSHI victorious

Shuji Kondo and brother YASSHI made their AJPW in ring debut last night, teaming with TARU to defeat the RO&D team of TAKA Michinoku, Taiyo Kea, and BLUE-K. Kondo beat BLUE-K with the King Kong Lariat. Shuji has a new costume, changing his keynote colour to black.

11 Mar 2005 2nd Differ Cup to run in May

Pro Wrestling NOAH, along with ZERO ONE MAX will sponser another 2 day junior tag tournament, on 5/7 and 5/8. Ultimo Dragon and YOSSINO won the first one, representing Toryumon at the time. Asai and his new The Tiger persona will probably be involved, which would make some interesting possibilities, if DG decided to send a team.

10 Mar 2005 Name error (?)

Judging by recent listings and posts on the official site, looks like the real name for the new wrestler is BXB Hulk, not BB Hulk. The font some sites wrote it with, used a smaller X (just the way Xs' used when typed in JP IMEs), so I assumed it was a period or separator. I'm going to go with BXB for now, but if I'm wrong (making me right initially..), I'll revert it.

09 Mar 2005 3/13 Card

5. K-ness{W}, YOSSINO, Naoki Tanizaki (15:33 Blue Light) Super Shisa, Genki Horiguchi, Daniel Mishima{L}

Araken introduced Tozawa-kun, who is scheduled to debut on 4/3. He gave a short speech about his excitement. He was destroyed by Fujii before and after match 1, which lead to Nakajima coming out with Mochi and FM2K to make the save.
Nakajima will participate on the next series, but it might just be the next Korakuen, where he will team with KnesSuka and go after the Triangle Gate!

Yokosuka Liner Kinkyuu Teisa is a variation on his rana, where instead of continuing through, he stops it quickly. The name means Emergency Stop.

Ichikawa intruded after match 2...but was ignored again.

Magnum again brought up the topic of DF secession. He ssaid he was staying 1 step away, and was making Ryo the DF leader for now. He said his stance was not aligned, but not fighting with. Ryo said he would aim for M2K next.

Hulk impressed yet again. His style is developing towards the high flyer end. He is using Diamond Cutter variations, and some nice rana variations.

PSYCHO intruded after the main event, giving Naoki his High Fly Bomb (swandive Swanton).

06 Mar 2005 3/6 Sapporo

3/6/2005 Sapporo Taisen Hall

-Doi (2:32 Bakatare) Dragon Kid
-Kid (13:30 Ultra Hurricanrana) Doi
-Ryo (6:10 Dragon Suplex) CIMA
**DF become the 2nd champions

The Danny*Yell is a new variation on his backdrop hold. Reports have it similar to the Leglock Suplex used by American Dragon in NJPW.
Hulks' costume is mostly white, with a hat and a jacket similar to that worn by the Sailor Boys. He wears long tights in the ring. Mochi said after the match he felt unlimited potential in him,
The other events out of the show were pretty confusing. Anthony appealed to join DF, but Magu refused it. He did say he would consider a joint struggle with him though, to maybe find himself again. He didn't leave DF as initially reported, but things look to be getting confusing again.
PSYCHO from K-DOJO said he would invade into Korakuen on Tuesday to steal the Brave Gate plates.....

05 Mar 2005 Some notes on BXB Hulk

As I mentioned earlier, the new wrestler, BXB Hulk is the dojo boy known as Ishihara-kun. He is the one who consistently fought back on Fujii with dropkicks. Magnum produced his gimmick and name, and has taken him in as a protege, much like CIMA did with Shingo. He isn't masked, as the name might indicate he would be. His debut match was said to be decent, he did a few kicks, missed a moonsault, and exchanged lariats with Susumu.

05 Mar 2005 2 More matches for tonight

In addition to the Triangle Gate match, you can add these 2 matches to tonight's matinee in Sapporo.

Daniel Mishima vs. Naoki Tanizaki
Masaaki Mochizuki, Susumu Yokosuka vs. Magnum TOKYO, BXB Hulk

05 Mar 2005 3/5 Sapporo

5. Ryo Saito{W}, Genki Horiguchi, Dragon Kid (20:21 Dragon Suplex Hold) K-ness, Masaaki Mochizuki, Keni'chiro Arai{L}

Finally a new debut! BXB Hulks' real last name is Ishihara, he changed it right before his match. He's a local from Sapporo, making his debut in front of his hometown. Like Shingo was CIMAs' pupil, Hulk is Magnums', as Magu produced his look and name, and took second for him today.
Tonight is the back half of the doubleheader, with the Triangle Gate on the line!

02 Mar 2005 3/2 LIVE GATE

3/2/2005 Kobe Chicken George
1. K-ness{W}, Susumu Yokosuka (13:35 Quick) YOSSINO, Anthony W. Mori{L}

5. Ryo Saito{W}, Genki Horiguchi, Dragon Kid (20:01 Dragon Suplex Hold) CIMA, Naruki Doi, Shingo Takagi{L}

The biggest news out of todays show (besides the return of K-ness), is that on April 3rd, at the first DG show at Kobe Sambo Hall, the next graduate of the DG dojo will debut. Very little is known so far, except his name is Tozaka, and he is from Nishinomiya prefecture, in Hyogo. He will face Fujii in a singles match.
First in a big run of shows today, as next up is the Taisen Hall doubleheader is this weekend, followed by Korakuen, then the Brave Gate!
