185 Fans – Unmarked

1. Toru Owashi & Hoshitango defeated Ryota Nakatsu & SAGAT when Hoshitango pinned SAGAT with the Midnight Buenos Aires (11:14).
2. Sanshiro Takagi defeated Yumehito Imanari with the Sit Down Himawari Bomb (7:27).
3. Boxing Tag Match: Gota Ihashi & Dai Suzuki defeated Kengo Mashimo & Zeus by DQ when Mashimo attacked the referee (R4 1:56).
4. Ryuichi Sekine Vs Takayuki Ueki ended in a No Contest after they both simultaneously “felt good” (10:40).
5. YaroZ-gun Vs Handsome-gun: Shigehiro Irie, Antonio Honda, Kazusada Higuchi & Ken Ohka defeated Hiroshi Fukuda, Madoka, Tsutomu Oosugi & Mineo Fujita when Irie pinned Fukuda with the YaroZ Bomber (13:59).

Pro wrestling for bastards, by bastards was back in Shinkiba! Brother Mon & Brother Tommy returned to host the latest YaroZ show while the ikemen rival BOYZ were over in Shinjuku. The MCs were here to support Shigehiro Irie in his time of need. For you see, Irie is the ace of YaroZ but he lost his shot at main eventing Sumo Hall the day before. The MCs invited Irie to the ring and he arrived looking upset and low in energy. The MCs tried to cheer him up by inviting Idea Pocket director Mr. Nagata into the ring. Nagata had a surprise for Irie. He brought out AV actress Yuki Yoshizawa. She shook Irie’s hand and asked him to close his eyes so she can give him a little gift. Irie did what he was told. Yoshizawa then swapped places with Nagata and Nagata quickly kissed Irie before switching back with Yoshizawa. Irie’s energy skyrocketed and he was now ready to fight in the main event!

The main event continued the grudge between the YaroZ side and the group of Handsome wrestlers. Hiroshi Fukuda and his Handsome Army ambushed the YaroZ during Yoshizawa’s striptease after the boxing match. They didn’t want the sexy industry’s top model to strip in front of an awful audience of virgins and old men. The YaroZ wrestlers swore they will get revenge in the main event. They were overwhelmed even with an invigorated Irie on their side. Late into the match Fukuda grabbed a mic and yelled about Irie being an ugly loser. Irie was losing faith until Ken Ohka screamed at him to stand up for YaroZ. They rallied up the crowd and even brought many fans into the ring to Lariat Fukuda one after another in the corner. Irie hit a Flying Sausage for a nearfall. He then hit the Beast Bomber, renamed the YaroZ Bomber for this occassion and that was the finish. Irie thanked Yoshizawa for inspiring him. He and the rest of YaroZ all asked her for a date but she politely declined. She was actually more interested in dating one of the Handsome Army wrestlers and left the ring to look for them. Luckily for Irie, The Bed Inn Girls came out to cheer him up with their dancing and teasing. They even gave him a proper kiss.

Yoshizawa returned later in the show to be the ring girl for the boxing match. She appeared wearing normal clothes but took off a piece of clothing after every round. Unsurprisingly most of the roster were at ringside for a closer look. Gota Ihashi & Dai Suzuki were getting killed in the ring but the match wouldn’t end under protest by everyone else, not when there were more rounds left for Yoshizawa to strip to. At one point Ihashi was verbally giving up but the referee pretended to ignore him. During Round 4 both Ihashi & Suzuki were completely knocked out. The referee took his time counting but they wouldn’t budge. Kengo Mashimo became fed up with the nonsense and attacked the referee, getting himself & Zeus disqualified. A big brawl was about to happen when Yoshizawa decided to strip off her remaining normal clothes down to a swimsuit. Everybody rejoiced until they were ambushed by the Handsome Army.

An extra rule was added to the Ryuichi Sekine Vs Takayuki Ueki match. The Bed Inn Girls were allowed to interfere in the match and the first wrestler to “feel good” from their antics would be declared the loser. The Bed Inn Girls teased both wrestlers with dancing, finger licking, straddling and grinding until Ueki and Sekine “felt good” at the same time, ending the match in a draw.

Sanshiro Takagi was in an emotional state after his “dream match” with Yumehito Imanari. He was moved by Imanari’s fighting spirit and thanked him for always making great videos for the shows.

Yokohama Radiant Hall
217 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Ladybeard defeated Ryu Gouma with the Women’s Liberation (2:34).
2. Seiya Morohashi & Gabaiji-chan defeated Cherry & Meari Naito when Gabaiji-chan pinned Cherry with the Gabai Bomb (10:09).
3. Kazushi Miyamoto defeated Tomoya Kawamura with a Lariat (4:08).
4. Goro Jr. defeated Mitomi Masayuki with a British Submission (16:01).

6. MEN’S Teioh & Madoka (w/ Hiroshi Fukuda) defeated Daichi Kazato & SAGAT when Madoka pinned SAGAT with the Ranhei (11:57).
7. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & FUMA (c) defeated Hikaru Sato & Shibata when FUMA pinned Sato with an Armbar Cutback (18:26).
*V2 for Isami Kodaka & FUMA.

The UWA World Tag Team Champions successfully defended their title with a surprising finish when FUMA pinned the Union MAX Champion, Hikaru Sato. Sato’s partner Shibata fought with his GoPro camera strapped to him as always but this time he used it as a weapon. It eventually backfired when he swung it at FUMA but wound up hitting Sato instead. Sato almost stole the win when he was given a German Suplex by FUMA but recovered quick enough to lock on an Armbar. But FUMA rolled on top of Sato and pinned him while still in the submission hold. Sato attacked FUMA after the bell but he was chased away by Daichi Kazato and SAGAT. FUMA told Sato that he was a champion and his title is not an amateur belt. He then threw out a challenge for the Union MAX Title. Naomi Susan confirmed the match will happen on 17th December. FUMA then said he hopes Union will begin its tenth year with him as the champion.

Hiroshi Fukuda gave a lot of praise to MEN’S Teioh & Madoka for their victory over Daichi Kazato & SAGAT. Fukuda said their combination of technique and speed made them the best tag team around and they should reform the Men’s Club. Madoka rejected the idea and wanted to talk to Naomi Susan. Madoka was upset at Union because they no longer do any Aipoke Presents matches! The only reason he is in Union is so he can wrestle for the Idea Pocket idols that used to appear on the show. According to him, the Aipoke matches were the pinnacle of Union. Susan said it is impossible to bring it back because their relationship with the company ended months ago. Madoka stormed off and said he will bring Idea Pocket back himself if he has to!

Kazushi Miyamoto recently announced he will retire at the end of the year. But he still had time to wrestle in Union before he left. He had plenty of advice to give Tomoya Kawamura after their match. He said Tomoya should eat plenty of rice and gain plenty of protein every day. He then bonded with Seiya Morohashi over their bodies and they decided to team up. They already have a team name. They are called Kazushi’s GYM Bodybuilding Circle.

A minute of silence was given at the beginning of the show for Koichiro Kimura.

Ladybeard’s new finisher called the Women’s Liberation is a Spin Kick.

287 Fans – Super No Vacancy

2. Mio Shirai & Tsukasa Fujimoto defeated Kaori Yoneyama & Sareee when Shirai pinned Sareee with the Tsuchigumo (7:39).
3. Idea Pocket Presents – Sayonara Tsubasa Amami Special: Madoka defeated Ryu Gouma with a Small Package (2:42).
4. MEN’s Teioh defeated Tomoya Kawamura with the Miracle Ecstasy (6:46).
5. Shuji Ishikawa, Daichi Kazato & SAGAT defeated Isami Kodaka, Seiya Morohashi & Goro Jr. when Ishikawa pinned Goro with the Splash Mountain (14:36).
6. Fly To Everywhere Title: Ladybeard defeated Cherry (c) with the Nutcracker (6:19).
*Cherry fails in V4. Ladybeard becomes the 3rd Fly To Everywhere Champion!
7. Union MAX Title: Hikaru Sato (c) defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a Shoulder Lock (23:45).
*V1 for Hikaru Sato.

It was Pancrase Vs “USA!” in the main event of today’s Union show. Hikaru Sato put his Union Max Championship on the line against the patriotic American Hiroshi Fukuda. While on paper the match looked one-sided, Fukuda turned out to be no pushover for the champion. Sato brought out the strikes and submissions but ignored the ref’s call to stop attacking Fukuda in the corner. Seiya Morohashi yelled at Sato to back off and the two kept glancing at each other until Fukuda started fighting back. Fukuda’s American style offence was effective going into the late stages of the match and the champ was in trouble when he was put in the Sharpshooter. Sato turned the tables when he countered a Discus Punch into a Shoulder Lock. Sato locked in the move tightly to the point where the referee stepped in and stopped the match in his favour.

Sato looked out among the Union wrestlers to search for his next challenger. He told them that they cannot just eat meat to become great, they have to eat ther vegetables aswell. Shuji Ishikawa approached Sato and challenged him to a title match. He promised to beat Sato and bring the MAX Title back to Union.

Ladybeard is the new Fly To Everywhere Champion after he defeated Cherry in the semi-main event. Cherry was prepared to embarress the challenger by bringing in an elctric shaver. She low blowed Ladybeard and then tried to shave him by force! Ladybeard had to bite Cherry’s arm in order to escape. Cherry did what she could but could not avoid the Nutcracker finisher. Ladybeard screamed with joy when he won the title and went on to call himself a really cute champion. In a backstage interview Ladybeard said he wants Mio Shirai to be his first challenger.

Ryu Gouma spoke about gambling on the World Cup at the beginning of the show. He rambled on about the typical penalties for illegally gambling and also some loopholes to get away with it. His moral of the story is it’s ok to gamble a little bit if you bet with something like a meal. Later in the show he took part in the Idea Pocket sponsored match against Madoka. Gouma had with him ¥30,000 and tried over and over to bribe Madoka to take a dive. Madoka wanted to take it but the referee kept stopping them. The referee eventually Super Kicked Gouma for his attempted bribary and Madoka then pinned him with a Small Package. After the match Idea Pocket announced that Tsubasa Amami has graduated from Union and this was her final show.

Some challenges were thrown out throughout the show. Daichi Kazato challenged Goro Jr. to a match after the 6-Man Tag. FUMA asked Mitomi Masayuki for another match sometime after he beat him in the opener.

6. 1,000 Rose + α Death Match: Shuji Ishikawa defeated Ken Ohka with the Splash Mountain (18:13).
7. Union MAX Title: Hikaru Sato defeated Isami Kodaka (c) with a Heel Hold (20:14).
*Isami Kodaka fails in V1. Hikaru Sato becomes the 3rd Union MAX Champion!

Hikaru Sato came to Union for a rest and wound up becoming its champion. Sato defeated Isami Kodaka in the main event to become the new Union MAX Champion. Kodaka did not use weapons in the match, preferring to fight Sato at his own game. The plan didn’t work and Sato tapped him out with a Heel Hold. Sato mocked Kodaka after the match and faked an apology for beating him in a fun match. Sato then insulted Union for their quality of wrestling and for being a low hurdle for him to pass. Sato said he will stay to defend his title but on the condition that he gets strong challengers who will not run away from him. Sato was then interrupted by chants of “USA!” as Hiroshi Fukuda entered the ring. Fukuda said the chants were like heavy thunder and he will not forgive Sato for embarrassing the company he debuted and grew up in. Sato ignored the challenge but Naomi Susan stepped in. She told Fukuda that he left Union Sekigun to join World Men’s Club but Fukuda replied the U in USA stands for Union. Susan asked if that means Fukuda will fight for Union and he said yes.

Shuji Ishikawa defeated Ken Ohka in what was a major battle in the Union Vs Ganbare☆Wrestling feud. Many roses were destroyed as the two fought in the ring but Ishikawa was the only one left standing at the end. Ishikawa praised Ohka’s growth after the match and suggested Ohka’s hatred of Union should now be out of his system. He’s like to see Ohka return to Union but when he appeared on a Ganpuro show last month he saw how hard Ohka worked to run the show. Ishikawa hopes this won’t be the last time both companies will fight each other and that there will be more competition between the two in the future.

Ladybeard was so happy when he & Saki Akai beat Danshoku Dino & Cherry. So happy that he believes it’s now time for him to become the Women’s Champion of Union. He challenged Cherry to a Fly To Everywhere Title match for next month. Cherry answered in English and accepted Ladybeard’s challenge. In a backstage interview Akai said she and Ladybeard form a cute tag team but she wasn’t happy having her faced shoved into Dino’s backside during the match.

The rules of the Aipoke World Title match was to make your opponent to say the words “Say Yes!” in order to win. Ryu Gouma and Super Sasadango Machine had a comedy match that involved the Idea Pocket reps dressed as Super Mario and Princess Peach. Gouma was about to win the match when another Idea Pocket Diva Tsubasa Amami appeared playing a guitar. Gouma and Sasadango sang along to the melody and Gouma was tricked into singing “Say Yes!” Sasadango won the title and also won a date for his troubles.


Quite A Lot Of Marching Going On In Kawasaki

UNION “MARCH OF THE UNION 2014”, 23/03/2014
Kawasaki Plaza Sol

1. Mitomi Masayuki Vs Yumehito Imanari
2. Seiya Morohashi & Daichi Kazato Vs Ken Ohka & Tomohiro Otani
3. Hikaru Sato Vs SAGAT
4. Idea Pocket Presents: Ryu Gouma Vs Menso~re Oyaji Vs Tomoya Kawamura
5. Shuji Ishikawa, FUMA & Ladybeard Vs Hiroshi Fukuda, HIROKI & Freddy Martello
6. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry (c) Vs Mio Shirai
7. Union MAX Title: Ivan Markov (c) Vs Isami Kodaka

Ivan Markov sent a message to Union for his upcoming Union MAX Title against Isami Kodaka. Markov calls his challenger one of the most dangerous wrestlers in Japan and he understands why he has to face him. Markov accuses the Japanese of hating the fact that a gaijin has their championship and no matter how cool Isami acts, the fact is Markov has beaten him once and he will do it again soon.

Mio Shirai was absent from Union’s last press conference because she was busy wrestling for Oz Academy. She was represented at the conference by a drawing of a fox and was mocked by Cherry. Shirai found out about the drawing and had it with her at today’s conference. She asked if a 39 year old woman drew the picture, pretended to be her and made fun of her wearing dark make up. Mio admits to wearing the make up but says it’s okay for someone as young as her to wear it, unlike Cherry. In regards to the Fly To Everywhere Title, Shirai has never heard any wrestler in any of the four promotions she works for say “I want that belt.” But when she becomes the champion everyone will then want to win it.

Ladybeard is in action for the first time in Union after revealing his true self. He sides with Union in their latest battle with the World Men’s Club. With MEN’s Teioh currently out of action, the Club has brought in HIROKI to take his place.

Another mysterious message made up of paper and magazine clippings was delivered to Union HQ. The message has something to do with the Hikaru Sato Vs SAGAT match.

Shinichiro Tominaga has been forced to pull out of the show after dislocating his left shoulder. Tomohiro Otani takes his place on the Ganbare☆Wrestling team.

The latest Idea Pocket Diva joining the show is Nami Minami.

TOKYO JOSHI PRO “KAWASAKI FIRST MARCH”, 05/04/2014
Kawasaki Plaza Sol

1. Erin Debut Match: Erin Vs KANNA
2. 3 Way Match: Chikage Kiba Vs Shoko Nakajima Vs Ririko Kendo
3. Yuka Sakazaki Vs Saki Akai
4. Miyu Yamashita Vs Nonoko

Miyu Yamashita is determined to defeat Nonoko so the plump woman will not become the face of Tokyo Joshi Pro. Nonoko says she takes pro wrestling seriously and told a tearful story about doing rock climbing and swimsuit modelling to make a living. She found pro wrestling and wanted to find acceptance as a 22 year old woman. Yamashita didn’t care for her long story and called out Nonoko for lying about her age.

Yuka Sakazaki is unsure what to make of her opponent Saki Akai. She thinks Akai is 2m 80cm tall so she’s been watching Attack On Titan to learn how to beat giants. If Akai is a Titan then that means her weakness is the back of her neck. Sakazaki then asked Tetsuya Koda if she could bring a knife into the match to chop the back of Saki’s neck with but he told her no.

The trainee previously known as Korei now has a new ring name for her official debut. She will now be called Erin and her debut match will be against KANNA. The inspiration for the name comes from the song “Help Me, Erin!!” which she found on Nico Nico Douga. Obviously the song is going to be her entrance music.

Ladybeard will be one of the musical performers on the show.

Ayumi Takada has resigned from Tokyo Women’s Wrestling. She said she could not continue training to her limits while trying to live as a member of society.

3a. Ryu Gouma defeated Seiya Morohashi when he answered a quiz question correctly (6:36).
3b. Ryu Gouma defeated Seiya Morohashi when he answered a quiz question correctly (9:59).

4. Hikaru Sato defeated Tomoya Kawamura with a Crab Hold (7:21).
5. Shuji Ishikawa defeated Richard Burn with a Swinging Sleeper (5:29).
6. Hardcore Match: Isami Kodaka, FUMA & SAGAT defeated Ivan Markov, Freddy Martello & Hiroshi Fukuda (w/ MEN’S Teioh) when Kodaka pinned Martello with the Zan Isamu Leg (15:44).

Union won the latest battle against World MEN’s Club, a 6-Man Tag that was fought under Hardcore rules by request of the Club. The Union team were ambushed as they made their entrance and the two sides utilised plenty of chairs to hurt each other. Isami Kodaka withstood Freddy Martello’s attacks and put him away with a Vertical Drop Brainbuster onto a fold out chair followed by the Zan Isamu Leg. After the match Kodaka told Ivan Markov that the match was hotter than the Winter Olympics going on in Sochi right now and that he wants a Union MAX Title shot next month!

Richard Burn returned to show off his fighting ability yet again, this time against the big man of Union, Shuji Ishikawa. Burn was accompanied by a man wearing glasses who acted as his cornerman, yelling instructions and motivating him with martial art stances. Ishikawa proved too strong to handle and applied a deep Sleeper Hold, going as far as to lift Burn off his feet and swing him in a circle until he submitted. Burn thanked Ishikawa for a good fight and asked for another match sometime. Ishikawa accepted.

That wasn’t the last appearance of Burn and his companion. They both reappeared at the end of the show wearing bikini tops and mini skirts with their hair in pigtails. Burn took the mic and said his real name was Ladybeard and he loves to wear women’s clothing! He appealed to join Union. Ishikawa said he could and everybody welcomed him. They are not creeped out by Burn’s sudden change because according to Kodaka, “Nothing is scary to us anymore.”

Hikaru Sato has jumped ship to Union, at least for the time being. Sato was the mysterious opponent for the rookie Tomoya Kawamura and the result was no surprise. In the post-match interview Sato explained that Union is a nice resting place for him to have a break after a good journey. He denied coming over to Union for the Aipoke World Title.

The Aipoke World Title was on the line in a Best 2 out of 3 Quiz match. Every time a wrestler pinned his opponent for one second or forced him to use a rope break, one of the Idea Pocket Divas would ask him a quiz question. First wrestler to answer two questions correctly wins the match. Seiya Morohashi easily pinned Ryu Gouma several times but was so excited he kept on giving wrong answers immediately instead of taking the time to think. Eventually Gouma was able to pin Morohashi twice and answer both questions correctly to became the new Aipoke Champion! Super Sasadango Machine appeared after the match to challenge Gouma to a title match at Korakuen Hall in May. They shook hands but Sasadango then gave Gouma the Verdict.

Union’s other war right now is with the invading Ganbare☆Wrestling led by Ken Ohka. Daichi Kazato & Mitomi Masayuki were ready to fight the Ganpuro team of Ohka & Yumehito Imanari but did not expect former Union wrestler Shinichiro Tominaga to show up with them. The match quickly turned into a brawl and had to be called off as the four wrestlers were fighting all over the arena. When things settled down, Ohka introduced the Union team to Tominaga and asked for the match to restart with Tominaga taking Imanari’s place. Everyone agreed and the bell rang. Tominaga bloodied Kazato’s mouth with punches and wiped out Masayuki with a Moonsault, leaving Ohka to put away Kazato with the Spear. Tominaga screamed out how happy he was quitting Union and how Ganpuro revived him. The trio later picked a fight with Seiya Morohashi until Naomi Susan stepped in and demanded them to leave.

Cherry and Mio Shirai weren’t able to work well as a team for Shirai’s first match as a full time Union wrestler. They were still able to win but Shirai thought she had to do it by herself. She challenged Cherry to a Fly To Everywhere Title match and declared she will change the world of women’s wrestling. Naomi Susan booked the match for Yokohama on 23rd March. Mio told Cherry to protect the belt tightly.

UNION “WORK IS BEAUTIFUL”, 23/11/2013
Yokohama Radiant Hall
280 Fans – Super No Vacancy

1. Daichi Kazato defeated Tomoya Kawamura with the Anna Cutter (7:46).
2. Idea Pocket Presents: Mio Shirai (w/ Tsubasa Amami) defeated Mitomi Masayuki & Ryu Gouma (w/ Rola Mizusaki) when Shirai pinned Gouma with a Small Package (6:31).
3. Seiya Morohashi & Cherry defeated SAGAT & Kyoko Kimura when Cherry pinned SAGAT with the Spring Night Love (11:53).
4. MEN’S Teioh defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with the Spinning Toe Hold (16:37).
5. Isami Kodaka defeated Menso~re Oyaji with the Zan Isamu Leg (13:44).
6. 1,000 Roses Death Match: Shuji Ishikawa defeated FUMA with the Splash Mountain onto the Rose Board (16:55).

It is recommended you listen to “Kiss From A Rose” by Seal as you read the results.

FUMA’s first ever death match was not as rosy as the name suggested. Shuji Ishikawa defeated the young wrestler in a 1,000 Roses Death Match where everything was covered in roses. Ishikawa thought it was fun while FUMA described the match as “doom and gloom” but he felt he came out as a stronger wrestler.

Naomi Susan announced the official creation of the Union MAX Championship. Susan wanted a name that was simple but represents how Union can go full force at any time. Shuji Ishikawa will face Russia’s Ivan Markov in Shinjuku FACE on 11th December to crown the first champion. Susan watched Isami Kodaka’s recent matches in Russia and was impressed with how much Markov has improved since his last visit to Japan, which is why he was selected to face Ishikawa.

Hiroshi Fukuda and MEN’S Teioh slowly bonded during their match together. Fukuda kept calling Teioh “Terry” and eventually “Terry Boy” as they wrestled. Teioh submitted Fukuda with the Spinning Toe Hold. The two reappeared after the Isami Kodaka Vs Menso~re Oyaji match. Fukuda sarcastically congratulated Kodaka for winning the match and then challenged him to a future KO-D Tag Team Titles match. Kodaka and Yuko Miyamoto already have title defences to prepare for so Naomi Susan called up Amon Tsurumi to sort it out. Fukuda named his new team Texas Tornado Broncos Tokyo.

SAGAT had his mouth stuffed with a banana while he teamed with Kyoko Kimura. Unfortunately, Kimura booted SAGAT in the face by accident, costing them the match against Cherry & Seiya Morohashi.

Ryu Gouma is the latest person to insert himself into the Idea Pocket shenanigans (minds out of the gutter please). He was added to the match as Mitomi Masayuki’s partner to make it a 2-on-1 match against Mio Shirai. Despite that, Shirai continues to grow her harem of Idea Pocket Divas by winning the services of Rola Mizusaki. Afterwards it was announced that the Aipoke World Title was declared vacant and a new champion will be crowned on 11/12.

An Australian martial artist named Richard Burn will make his Union debut on the 11/12 show. Burn has travelled the world in order to master many marial arts including taekwondo, capoeira, kick boxing and Jeet Kune Do. Burn greeted the fans and said he heard Japan has many strong fighters. His debut match will be against Daichi Kazato.

Union celebrated its 8th Anniversary plus its recent change to an independent promotion by holding a one night tournament featuring its home wrestlers. Shuji Ishikawa won the Get The Glory Tournament, defeating Isami Kodaka in the final. Naomi Susan said the final was worthy of being a title match and she now wants Union to create its own championship in time for their Shunjuku FACE show on 11th December. Ishikawa thanked the fans for supporting Union and promises they will be around for the 9th Anniversary, 10th Anniversary, 15th Anniversary, 20th Anniversary, 25th Anniversary, 30th Anniversary, 40th Anniversary and the 100th Anniversary.

At the beginning of the show, Isami Kodaka mentioned he will be travelling to Russia tomorrow. He and Masa Takanashi will be wrestling in the IWF this weekend. It is the same promotion that Union visitors Ivan Markov and Ronnie Crimson came from. Kodaka will be facing Markov for the IWF Championship and he hopes he will become a Triple Crown Champion by holding the IWF, KO-D Tag Team and BJW Tag Team Titles all at the same time.

Mio Shirai’s harem of Idea Pocket idols is growing. Shirai, Menso~re Oyaji and Mitomi Masayuki each had an idol in their corner and battled each other to win all three. Mio won the match and the idols expressed relief that they were now with her instead of any of the men. Mio was delighted and said she wants to attract more and more flirty Divas over to Union.

Tomoya Kawamura said he wanted to do the Sling Blade like Hiroshi Tanahashi during his debut match but realised he couldn’t do it because he is still immature as a wrestler. He also revealed he originally had a tryout with DDT and during that tryout he showed off his Yoda impersonation from Star Wars Episode II. His impersonation is from a scene where Yoda warns Obi-Wan about Anakin turning to the Dark Side, if you must know.

Union has won the war against the Nazo Fukumen! After many months they were able to defeat the mystery masked men once and for all in a Hardcore 6-Man Tag Team Elimination match. The Fukumen were led by Nazo Fukumen KJ, who wore goggles and a bandana over his mask like a certain “Crazy Monkey” would. The Fukumen drew first blood by eliminating Seiya Morohashi. KJ did the damage with the Pearl Harbor Splash and Nazo Fukumen P easily pinned Morohashi with a Gedo Clutch. Union turned things around when Isami Kodaka & Madoka eliminated KJ & Nazo Fukumen K one after the other. All alone in the ring, Fukumen P unmasked to reveal himself as Hiroshi Fukuda! He had some luck in evening the odds when Kodaka accidentaly eliminated Madoka from the match. Fukuda gave Kodaka the Perfect Plex but that was not enough. Kodaka recovered and struck Fukuda with move after move until he finally pinned him with the Zan Isamu Leg.

After the match Fukuda explained he joined the Nazo Fukumen in order to wrestle in main events against his friends. He apologised to the fans and to Nazo Fukumen Queen. The Queen suggested that he could join Union again. Naomi Susan agreed and made the offer to Fukuda, which he accepted. Susan also said that Mio Shirai was allowed back in Union. Nazo Fukumen B happliy unmasked, revealing herself to be Mio and she hugged Susan.

A tournament will be held on Union’s 8th Anniversary show in Shinjuku FACE on 23rd October. The 1st Round draw was held inside the ring after the main event. The matches will be SAGAT Vs Shuji Ishikawa, Daichi Kazato Vs FUMA, Isami Kodaka Vs Cherry and Hiroshi Fukuda Vs Seiya Morohashi.

Cherry Vs Keizo Matsuda begun with some flirting between the two but it turned out to be a sneak attack by Cherry. She continued to play around with her opponent but Matsuda eventually caught up to her and proved to be too strong. Cherry offered a handshake after the match but that too turned out to be a trap. She kicked him between the legs instead.

Before the Idea Pocket match began, Mitomi Masayuki noted that as an elite college graduate, he was not able to spend much of his educational years with women due to having no money. He and Menso~re Oyaji agreed to share Rika Seibi and Tsubasa Amami rather than fight over them. Mio Shirai claims the two Divas still work for her and she rejected their plan. She even interfered in the match causing it to end in a double pin draw. Naomi Susan stepped in and booked a 3 Way Match for the next Union show to solve the problem. Afterwards Masayuki approached each of the Divas only to be slapped by both of them. He was also slapped by the Idea Pocket producer who accompanied the Divas.
