Kishiwadas' replacement is Gamma. Interesting choice given his recent alignment with the Doorado half. Still a pretty obvious one. He took second for CIMA in the main.
Tozawa again refused Arakens' invitation to join M2K. Araken had offered his original Yokosuka Jumper this time.
Naoki abandoned the 3 way around the 8 minute mark. He and DF had some arguments.

Araken allowed Tozawa to join FM2K after his first ever win. He tossed him a Yokosuka Jumper, but Tozawa refused it! He said to wait for the next Hall.

Susumu wrestled as Susumu Mochizuki, and they entered to G.W.D. Darkness Dragon and Chocoflake did indeed appear. The main was the typical original M2K style wild brawl, with intrusions from Dragon and Choco.

The rest began the set up for the big Ota-ku show.

That show will be K-ness' 10th anniversary in wrestling. However he can't wrestle yet due to his injury, so a replacement from his past will wrestle for him. They will face the winner of a Stalker Ichikawa vs. Frolida match from the next Korakuen. The loser of that match will undergo a character change!

Susumu stepped up as the next Dream Gate challenger. CIMA chose to block it, so the 2 will meet in Kawagoe on Sunday. The winner goes on to Ota to face Ryo.

Kishiwadas' replacement in Blood will also debut on Sunday.

14 Mar 2006 - () - Toryumon - Hisamaru Tajima

I think some of you might be a little unfamiliar with the name Hisamaru Tajima. He was the original ace of Toryumon X, not Ishimori. He attended the first Toryumon open tryouts in Japan, and won out among the other would-be trainees. He impressed so much that he was quickly dubbed "Ace of the Future" and made the signboard player of X. He debuted vs. Touru Owashi, and lasted almost 11 minutes, twice as long as the usual debut match times. He was a pure power fighter, quite a contrast to what X ended up being. He was around most of the summer of 2002, winning a good amount in Mexico, and adopting quite a unique look. Then he suddenly disappeared. Many rumors are out there about why he left, some of them maybe a little more truthful than others. In any event he was gone before he could make a real impact.

What has he been up to since then? Noodles. Lots of noodles.
