6. Last Man Standing Match: Shuji Ishikawa defeated Seiya Morohashi by KO with the Running Knee Lift Barrage (16:56).

In a Last Man Standing match between Union’s two beefiest men, Shuji Ishikawa came out on top. Seiya Morohashi survived the Splash Mountain but his Quarrel Bomber was countered with a Knee Lift. Ishikawa then spammed Running Knee Lifts until Morohashi could no longer answer the ten count. Ishikawa and Isami Kodaka met in the ring at the end of the show to talk about their Union MAX Title match on the final Union event in Korakuen Hall on 4th October.

The King Legion once more reigned victorious over Union, this time in an 8-Man Elimination Tag match. FUMA was the last man standing but Union’s last man Daichi Kazato did not go down without a fight. FUMA challenged Kazato to a match on 4th October and to spice things up he will put the fate of the King Legion on the line. If Kazato beats FUMA then King Legion will de dissolved.

Cherry regained the Union Fly To Everywhere World Title for the third time after beating Aoi Kizuki two falls to one. Miyako Matsumoto took part in the first fall because the goal was for either Cherry or Kizuki to pin her. The second fall was called a Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match but music from Swan Lake was used rather than anyting rock ‘n’ roll. In the deciding fall Cherry pinned Kizuki with a special version of the Spring Night Love she calls the Union Lock. After the match Cherry said she wanted to face Masako Takanashi on the final Union show in the decisive battle between Union’s two female(ish) wrestlers.

Mio Shirai was pinned in her final Union match. She put GENTARO in the Figure Four Neck Lock but he countered the move into a pin for the three count. Shirai described the people she wrestled with in the match as a group rich with variety. She said her final match in Union was a good experience. She also got to give a closing speech at the end of the show.

2. Kazuhiko Ogasawara defeated Ryu Gouma with the Upper Left Turn Kick (4:20).
3. Cherry defeated Aoi Ishibashi with the Spring Night Love (6:04).

7. Independent World Jr. Heavyweight Title: Isami Kodaka (c) defeated Ikuto Hidaka with the Isamuashi Zan (19:01).
*V2 for Isami Kodaka.

Isami Kodaka was full of praise for Ikuto Hidaka after the main event. Kodaka said Hidaka was just the kind of guy he was waiting for to have a title match with.

Even thought it was a 3-on-1 Handicap match in favour of Union, FUMA had the King Legion watching his back and interfering on his behalf. The match wound up becoming 4-on-3. The King Legion got rid of Seiya Morohashi & Hiroshi Fukuda, leaving FUMA to finish off Yusuke Kubo. But Kubo dodged the Diving Headbutt and suddenly pinned FUMA with the Mexican Roll (Leg Trapped Backslide Pin). Kubo challenged FUMA to a Union MAX Title match at Shin-kiba 1st RING on 17th June.

Ladybeard wanted to help Union defend itself against the King Legion. He called the King Legion a not cute family. Kazushi Miyamoto is the not cute dad, MEN’S Teioh is the not cute mom and SAGAT is the not cute baby! Ladybeard came close to victory after capitalising on some teamwork that backfired. But Teioh turned the tables and rolled him into a pin.

The finish to the Rock ‘N’ Roll Death Match had Mio Shirai and A.YAZAWA dancing to the Rocky theme. YAZAWA was giving Shirai a piggy back ride when the music stopped so Shirai rolled down and caught YAZAWA in the Figure 4 Neck Lock to tap him out. Shirai wants to challenge for the Fly To Everywhere Title one more time before she retires. She was told Hibiscus Mii will be back in Union on 17th June so the title match will take place there.

Ryu Gouma wanted to wrestle under a specific set of rules for his match with Kazuhiko Ogasawara. The rule changes meant nothing as Ogasawara obliterated him with karate kicks. Afterwards Ogasawara asked Gouma if Union is in a good state going into its 10th year of existence. Gouma said things are going well. Ogasawara kicked him again and said he will go back to training.

The Brahman Brothers will defend the UWA World Tag Team Titles against Shuji Ishikawa & Masato Shibata at the 17/6 show.

fuma-ishikawa-headbutt

When DDT was done for the day, Union took over Korakuen Hall for their Golden Week show. The main event had FUMA and Shuji Ishikawa battling each other in a ring filled with roses for the Union MAX Title. Roses covered everything from the ropes to tables and chairs. Despite getting help from the King Legion at certain points, FUMA proved that he deserved to be champion by taking everything Ishikawa threw at him. He kicked out of the Running Knee Lift, the Splash Mountain threw a Rose Board. FUMA escaped from the Fire Thunder that would have driven him into a pile of chairs. He Headbutted Ishikawa and hit Buzzsaw Kicks and High Kicks. Ishikawa kept kicking out until FUMA hit the Jawbreaker Kick and then the Diving Headbutt. That was enough for FUMA to earn the win. FUMA declared himself the only original ace of Union. Yusuke Kubo suddenly approached FUMA to tell him Union was still willing to fight. He had Hiroshi Fukuda and Seiya Morohashi backing him up. This sets up a 6-Man Tag Team match between Union and the King Legion to take place soon.

fistbump

Isami Kodaka successfully defended the Independent World Jr. Title for the first time with a win over Yukio Sakaguchi. Isami’s kicks were too quick for the challenger. Sakaguchi was able to block the Isamuashi Zan but Kodaka immediately followed with a Buzzsaw Kick followed by another Isamuashi Zan for the three count. The two fistbumped after the match.

baggy-pants

The 2nd Generation Muscle Sakai Final was between Hiroshi Fukuda and Super Sasadango Machine. The winner gets to be the next Muscle Sakai. Let that sink in for a moment… Hanging above the ring was golden baggy pants, American flag baggy pants, gray baggy pants and t-shirts from both wrestlers. The golden pants are important as that is needed to represent Muscle Sakai II. It was up to the wrestlers to decide their fate. When Fukuda climbed the ladder his thoughts were broadcast over the sound system. Would he abandon his own identity to become Muscle Sakai? A voice from Heaven told him not to. Antonio Honda pulled down Fukuda and helped Sasadango up the ladder. Sasadango had the same crisis of confidence but he was more concerned by which baggy pants looked more fashionable. He decided to pull down the golden pants. But as he put them on Fukuda rolled him over and locked in an Armbar, forcing Sasadango to tap. Fukuda was given the right to be Muscle Sakai II and to wear the golden pants but he refused when he found out he would also take over Sakai’s 35 million yen mortgage, all of his taxes and also all of his obligations towards Sakai’s wife and family.

sagat-kazato

The King Legion continued their dominance over Union with a win over three of their regular wrestlers. The match started off as a brawl but then settled down when the Legion took control. The combined experience of the Legion was too much for the Union Sekigun and SAGAT scored the victory when he choked out Daichi Kazato with a Sleeper Hold.

shirai-ohka

Ken Ohka returned to Union for the first time since last year’s Union Ganbare War. He was here to reunite with Mio Shirai one last time before her retirement later this year. Kengo Mashimo joined in the occasion by using the name Kengo Ohka once more. Sadly the reunion ended in defeat when both Kengo & Seiya Morohashi applied Crippler Crossfaces to Shirai & Ohka. After the match Ohka led the crowd in cheers for Shirai and also Ganbare☆Wrestling.

fte-mii-cherry

Hibiscus Mii has come from out of nowhere to win the Fly To Everywhere Title! Her new title reign now gives her a reason to travel from Okinawa to Tokyo more often but she would rather defend the belt in her home promotion Ryukyu Dragon Pro Wrestling.

madoka-ladybeard

Madoka again tried to get Harumi Tachibana to marry him. He asked Ryu Gouma for legal advice over the issue. Gouma told him that according to Article 24 of the Constitution, marriage is established on the basis of only the agreement of both sexes. Article 741 of the Civil Code says the marriage is invalid if there was no agreement. Ladybeard would face Madoka to assess if he was worthy of marrying Tachibana. As the two wrestled Tachibana asked Gouma for his law book. The two fought over the book and it lead to Gouma accidentaly striking Ladybeard when he pulled the book away with all his strength. Madoka capitalised and rolled over Ladybeard for the pinfall. Madoka again proposed to Tachibana but she dumped him for Ladybeard instead.

1. Mitomi Masayuki Comeback: Seiya Morohashi & Tomoya Kawamura defeated Mitomi Masayuki & Daisuke Kanehira when Morohashi submitted Masayuki with a Facelock (10:03).
2. Mio Shirai & Aoi Ishibashi defeated Ryu Gouma & Ladybeard when Ishibashi pinned Gouma with the Star Biscuit (8:19).
3. Madoka (w/ Harumi Tachibana) defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a Small Package (7:06).
4. Isami Kodaka defeated Ryota Nakatsu with the Diving Double Knee Drop (12:24).
5. Yuki Sato defeated Yuuya Kubo with the Miracle Rod (10:39).
6. Union Fly To Everywhere World Title: Cherry defeated Shu Shibutani with the Spring Night Love (8:03).
*V1 for Cherry.
7. FUMA, Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT (w/ MEN’S Teioh) defeated Shuji Ishikawa, Masato Shibata & Daichi Kazato when FUMA pinned Kazato with the Diving Headbutt (22:43).

FUMA’s new unit has been given a name. He now leads the King Legion because each wrestler is the “king” of something specific. FUMA is the King of Omnipotence, Kazushi Miyamoto is the King of Power, MEN’S Teioh is the King of Intelligence and SAGAT is the King of Love.

King Legion were successful over Union Sekigun in the main event. Daichi Kazato was left in a bloody mess after being targeted for much of the match. An angry Shuji Ishikawa tried to get his hands on FUMA after the match. FUMA decided his Union MAX Title match against Ishikawa in Korakuen Hall next month will be a 1,000 Rose Deathmatch! He will prove his overwhelming strength once and for all.

Despite coming up short, Shu Shibutani tearfully thanked Cherry for giving her a shot at the Fly To Everywhere Title before she retires in May. Aoi Ishibashi challenged Cherry for a shot but the champion wanted to defend the title against someone from overseas. Naomi Susan decided the Fly To Everywhere Title will be defended in a 3 Way Match on 24/9. Cherry and Ishibashi are involved and Union will look for a foreign wrestler to fill up the last spot.

Yuki Sato used some dirty tactics to beat Yuuya Kubo. When the referee was knocked out, a bamboo stick came into play and was fought over by the two wrestlers. When Kubo got it, Sato grabbed the ref and used him as a shield. Kubo stopped himself from hitting the ref but Sato grabbed the stick and used it to beat Kubo senseless before pinning him.

Isami Kodaka called Yukio Sakaguchi into the ring after his victory over Ryota Nakatsu. Kodaka and Sakaguchi will have a match together on 29th April. Sakaguchi said he was told the match was going to be fun but he thinks he will do something terrible to Kodaka, like kill him. Kodaka said he is prepared and that it will be a fun match for himself at least.

Madoka continued his advances towards Harumi Tachibana. This time he had a marriage contract ready for when she accepts his proposal. However Hiroshi Fukuda would suddenly proposed to Tachibana too! The two men fought each other over Tachibana and would take breaks in an attempt to woo her. Fukuda called Tachibana his Jasmine and sang the chorus to Beauty & The Beast. Madoka convinced Tachibana to help him and she put Fukuda in a Cobra Twist. She then slapped Fukuda and Madoka rolled him up with a Small Package for the win. Madoka eargly told Tachibana to go register their marriage but she refused. Fukuda asked if that means he can marry her. She said no. But she still wants to stay with Madoka. Madoka asked if that meant they could still get married someday in the future? She said yes. That’s good enough for Madoka!

Before the second match began, Ryu Gouma called Mio Shirai “amazingly stupid”, calling back to their December match when Mio was given a quiz and she got every answer wrong. Gouma complimented his tag partner Ladybeard for being a master of Japanese proverbs which he proved there and then. Gouma challenged Shirai & Aoi Ishibashi to a quiz while they wrestled. He seemed to get more powerful for every question the women got wrong. However he soon resorted to cheating when he grabbed his statute book. Shirai grabbed it off him and Ishibashi took advantage of the distraction to pin the lawyer.
