[Results] 10/02/2008 @ Niigata Phase

- FURY kicked off the 2008 "GO NORTH!" tour by bringing FURY to the fans of Niigata for the first time. The show was a success, as over 1,000 fans filled Niigata Phase. The show opened with an enjoyable 3WAY match, pitting Etsuya Kawachi against Kazuki Sendo and Kinniku Kamen Nisei. Nisei and Sendo tried to band together, which helped them in the early going. But tempers eventually flared when it came to who would get to win, allowing Kawachi to recover, and ultimately cradle Nisei with the GTK for the fall.

- The second match saw some post-match movement after CHAOTICS scored a hard win over UPRISER'Z. Shin Kaiju emerged, and announced that he would finally redeem the F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight title match he earned on 5/31 after winning the 6WAY cage match to challenge Ota for his title on 10/25... Ota accepted the challenge without hesitation, and promised to "slay the Monster" in Osaka!

- The Niigata fans were treated to a fierce match next, as NEW FORCE clashed with UPRISER'Z. UPRISER'Z dominated the early going, using their reckless style of power and brawling. But NEW FORCE was able to rally, with Kamon finally scoring the fall on RYUJI after the Shoushinjisatsu in the climax of a close match. Both sides battled over the microphone afterwards...

- Members of mushozoku faced STRONG RIDERS next in a hard-hitting heavyweight clash. The Niigata fans roared at the chance of seeing Kazuma Fujita for the first time in years. Fujita however had his hands full with Otsuo Kayusa, who held nothing back against his mentor. The two traded hard blows through out the match. But in the end, Chikao Kessin and his strongest Backdrop made all the difference after folding Hujikawa in half, giving his team the win!

- The main event featured the first preliminary skirmish between F-MAX Unified Heavyweight Champion Tetsuhisa NAKAI and Yoshihiro Shimoda. Shimoda made an immediate impact by scoring the direct fall himself after pinning heavyweight Tetsujin with the Torokeru Knee. Early exchanges between the 10/15 opponents were fierce, with neither giving an inch. The two exchanged words after the match, with Shimoda promising to stop NAKAI's dream short in his first defense. NAKAI said that Shimoda has the spirit of a heavyweight, but promised that he would show Shimoda that he doesn't belong with the heavyweights.
