1. Yuuya Kubo defeated Ryota Nakatsu with a Mexican Roll (9:32).
2. “Mr. Perfect” Hiroshi Fukuda World Cup – Round 2: Hiroshi Fukuda & Ladybeard defeated Taiyouto Kamen & DAICHI when Ladybeard pinned Kamen with the Nutcracker (11:44).

*Mio Shirai fails in V3. Cherry becomes the 5th Union Fly To Everywhere World Champion!
6. Union MAX Title: FUMA defeated Isami Kodaka with the Diving Headbutt (19:08).
*V1 for FUMA.

Isami Kodaka was not 100% going into the main event against his former friend FUMA. Kodaka had medical tape going from his neck down to his back. FUMA wasted no time targeting it and also had the help of Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT in his corner. Kodaka wiped those two out with a dive but missed the Diving Double Knee Drop. FUMA capitalised and hit a Deadlift German Suplex, Tombstone Piledriver and then the Diving Headbutt to win his first defence of the Union MAX Title. FUMA told Kodaka “cheers for the hard work” after the match and crowned himself the ace of Union. FUMA then nominated Shuji Ishikawa as his next challenger for the 29/4 Korakuen Hall show.

Mio Shirai and Cherry threw a bunch of insults at each other as they wrestled. Cherry eventually got the better of Shirai and became a two time Fly To Everywhere Champion.

Kazushi Miyamoto & SAGAT wrapped a chain around Daichi Kazato’s neck after their tag match and hung him over the ropes. Isami Kodaka came to the rescue.

They played the FIFA anthem before Match #2.

UNION “SHIWASU NO UNION 2014”, 17/12/2014
Shinjuku FACE
292 Fans – No Vacancy

1. Cherry & Ladybeard defeated Riho & Sayaka Obihiro when Cherry pinned Obihiro with the Spring Night Love (7:20).
2. Mio Shirai defeated Ryu Gouma with the Figure Four Headscissors (3:59).
3. Madoka (w/ Harumi Tachibana) defeated SAGAT with the Ranhyei (4:01).
4. MEN’S Teioh & Tigers Mask (w/ Hiroshi Fukuda) defeated Daichi & Goro Jr. when Teioh pinned Goro with a Diving Body Attack (10:19).
5. Kazushi ‘s GYM Bodybuilding Circle First Leg Final Match: Kazushi Miyamoto & Seiya Morohashi defeated Shuji Ishikawa & Tomoya Kawamura when Miyamoto pinned Kawamura with a Lariat (10:46).
6. Isami Kodaka & Daichi Kazato defeated Atsushi Aoki & Shibata when Kodaka submitted Shibata with a Modified Manjigatame (13:39).
7. Union MAX Title: FUMA defeated Hikaru Sato (c) with the Sole Butt To The Face (20:18).
*Hikaru Sato fails in V3. FUMA becomes the 4th Union MAX Champion!

We have a new Union MAX Champion and his name is FUMA! For six months Hikaru Sato has held the title and he had done nothing but look down on the Union roster. FUMA came out in new gear and with new music while a lackadaisical Sato threw the belt into the ring during his entrance. It was a tense match but FUMA overcame the odds to win the championship. FUMA told Sato after the match that even though he hated his behaviour he still respects him for his strong performances. FUMA bowed but Sato left without a response.

Isami Kodaka challenged FUMA to an 8-Man Tag Team match for 10th January. It will be Kodaka, Shuji Ishikawa, Seiya Morohashi & Cherry Vs FUMA, Daichi Kazato, SAGAT & Mio Shirai.

Match #5 was filled with big appeal as Kazushi Miyamoto & Seiya Morohashi muscle posed their way to victory over Shuji Ishikawa & Tomoya Kawamura.

Match #4 had people seeing double as Tigers Mask/Atsushi Maruyama appeared as a Hiroshi Fukuda clone! The real Fukuda introduced his clone as the 3rd Generation Mr. Perfect (Fukuda is 1st Gen, MEN’S Teioh is 2nd Gen). Clone Fukuda had trouble keeping his crown and wig in place while he wrestled but he was on the winning team. The real Fukuda said in 2015 he will create more Mr. Perfect clones!

Nobody was happier to see the return of an Idea Pocket Diva to Union than Madoka. He was able to convince Harumi Tachibana to be in his corner as he wrestled SAGAT. Tachibana was there in a race queen costume to provide support and motivation. It ended up working as Madoka defeated SAGAT and eagerly thanked his diva for supporting him. He later said he will continue the diva revolution in pro wrestling.

Ryu Gouma had a challenge for Mio Shirai that was very different from her match with Shuji Ishikawa from last month. Gouma wore a suit in the ring and wanted to face Shirai in a battle of intelligence instead of physical strength. The challenge involved Gouma asking Shirai questions to test her knowledge. For every answer she got wrong Gouma would get to do a wrestling move. He put Shirai into a Waistlock to begin the challenge. The first question was what does the K in UK stand for? She panicked and said Christmas. She was wrong so Gouma put her in a Camel Clutch. The next question was what do the stars on the American flag represent? Shirai said it represents the number of countries America has defeated. She was wrong again and then claimed she hates getting questions about stuff overseas. The third question was who was the author Rashomon? Shirai answered Soseki Natsume and then Akechi Mitsuhide. She was wrong for both and Gouma got the audience to say the right answer, Ryūnosuke Akutagawa. Gouma applied a Manjigatame but Shirai got fed up with the game and fought out of it. She then put Gouma in the dreaded Figure Four Headscissors and made him submit. After the match Gouma claimed he won 3-1 because Shirai got her three questions wrong. He and Shirai then continued to argue over who won the match.

Both Cherry and Ladybeard wrestled in Santa dresses.

1. Madoka & Kurumi defeated Cherry & Seiya Morohashi when Madoka pinned Cherry with the Ranhei (9:05).
2. 3 Way Match: Miyako Matsumoto defeated Ryu Gouma and Goro Jr. when Matsumoto pinned Gouma with the Kyoto Clutch (6:50).

4. MEN’S Teioh defeated Hiroshi Fukuda with a Running Neckbreaker Drop (8:39).
5. UWA World Tag Team Titles: Isami Kodaka & FUMA (c) defeated Shuji Ishikawa & SAGAT when Kodaka pinned SAGAT with the Zan Isamu Leg (10:21).
*V1 for Isami Kodaka & FUMA.
6. Union MAX Title: Hikaru Sato (c) defeated Daichi Kazato by Referee Stoppage with the Shoulder Lock (26:13).
*V3 for Hikaru Sato.

Union’s latest hopes of getting back the Union MAX Title rested on the shoulders of Daichi Kazato. The low card wrestler stepped up to the plate and challenged Hikaru Sato to a title match in Koyama. Kazato had the crowd on his side as he was showered in streamers during the ring introductions. Despite lasting over 25 minutes with the champion, his arm and shoulder was worn down to the point where Sato could use his submissions to great effect. The match had to be stopped when Sato caught Kazato on a dive and trapped him in the Shoulder Lock for the victory. Sato shook Kazato’s hand after the match but then threw him out of the ring with force. He asked Kazato if that was all the hard work he could do and that he stunk as a wrestler. Sato and Shibata then challenged Isami Kodaka & FUMA to a UWA World Tag Team Titles match.

Shuji Ishikawa was disappointed he couldn’t win the UWA Tag Team Titles with SAGAT. He wanted it to happen because they are the only two heavyweights in Union. SAGAT apologised to Ishikawa and promised they will win next time.

MEN’S Teioh gave Hiroshi Fukuda a taste of the Royal Road by using the Neckbreaker Drop to beat him. Fukuda thanked Teioh for everything he taught him during their time together as a team. Fukuda will have one more match in Union before he leaves for All Japan.

There are two stories revolving around the main event of this show. First is the rivalry brewing between HARASHIMA and Keisuke Ishii. This show takes place a day after the KO-D Openweight Title match between the two wrestlers. The second is Shigehiro Irie and Yasu Urano feuding over the KO-D 6-Man Tag Team Titles. Urano has twice attempted to steal Irie’s title belt after matches involving the two. Now he has a chance to get that belt through proper means.

7. Union MAX Title: Hikaru Sato (c) Vs Shuji Ishikawa ended in a Time Limit Draw (30:00).
*V2 for Hikaru Sato.

Thirty minutes was not enough for Hikaru Sato and Shuji Ishikawa to settle their differences. The main event for the Union MAX Title ended in a time limit draw although Ishikawa hit the Splash Mountain seconds before the time expired. Ishikawa asked for a time extension so a winner could be decided. Naomi Susan explained that as champion it was up to Sato to decide if the match should restart. A draw counts a successful defence but she recommended to Sato that the match should continue. Sato hated the idea and rejected the plea. Ishikawa asked Sato how could he call himself the stronger man but Sato replied that he will have to try another day.

Daichi Kazato interrupted Sato with a Missile Dropkick from out of nowhere. He challenged Sato to a title match. If Ishikawa can’t get another chance then he will get one instead. Ishikawa respected Kazato’s plan but he wasn’t sure if he had what he takes. Ishikawa Headbutted Kazato to test him. Kazato took the hit and passed the test. Ishikawa told Kazato to work hard and he gave him his blessing to get the next title match. Members of the Union Sekigun then lined up and one by one struck Kazato with chops and kicks to transfer their power into him.

Hiroshi Fukuda will be going into All Japan with one less belt in his collection after today. He and MEN’S Teioh lost the UWA World Tag Team Titles to Isami Kodaka & FUMA. The Union team worked very well as a team, FUMA even wore wrestling gear similar to Kodaka’s. FUMA scored the pin with the Sole Butt on Fukuda to win his first ever championship.

Another championship changed hands when Mio Shirai beat Ladybeard to win the Fly To Everywhere Title. Ladybeard fought dirty, pulling Mio’s hair while yelling “This is women’s wrestling!” But Shirai avoided the Nutcracker and pinned the champion with the Tsuchigumo. Shirai said it was the first title she won since she signed her four company contract and then thanked Ladybeard for being a great opponent.

Union’s new masked wrestler is called Daichi. A former DDT wrestler in a previous life, he has come to Union after a long absence in the ring to restart his wrestling career. He had a successful Union debut as part of the winning side of a 6-Man Tag Team Match.

*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.

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.

2. Cherry & X Vs Ladybeard & X
3. Union MAX Title: Isami Kodaka (c) Vs Hikaru Sato

Even though he came to Union for a vacation, Hikaru Sato could wind up with some gold around his waist. Isami Kodaka doesn’t take kindly to the fact that Sato is not taking Union seriously so when Sato requested a title shot Kodaka accepted so he can show him what Union is about.

Ladybeard swears that his mystery tag team partner is definitely a woman.
