- UPRISER'Z celebrated their 2nd anniversary in style in front of a sold out Korakuen Hall. The ring was decorated in the familiar colors of the unit, giving the show a unique feeling. The show opened with a brief talk show segment among the UPRISER'Z members. Everyone reflected on the last year, as they established their dominance as the top faction in professional wrestling. To conclude, a birthday cake was brought out as the fans sang "Happy Birthday." After blowing out the candles, a lucky fan was picked out of the audience and brought into the ring, only to have his face shoved into the cake... After a good laugh, TAKU apologized, and gave the fan an UPRISER'Z t-shirt... When the slightly rotund fan complained about the shirt being too small, Okazaki slapped the fan in the back of the head, before shoving his face into the cake once more... In the end, UPRISER'Z promised to continue on in their third year, with their reckless run expanding beyond the Pro-Wrestling FURY ring!
- After a brief intermission, we had the first match of the night pitted, which former friends, turned bitter enemies against one another, as Shigeru Iwasaki battled Daisuke Iwata in a violent chain deathmatch. Iwata immediately attacked Iwasaki as the referee was placing the chain strap around Iwasaki's wrist. There was nothing pretty about the match, which mostly consisted of the two using the chain as a weapon. Iwasaki occasionally mixed it up with kicks, but mostly showed a rarely seen violent side as he bloodied Iwata up with chain shots. In the end however, Iwata would manage to wrap the chain around Iwasaki's neck, before throwing him over the ropes, essentially HANGING HIM. Iwata showed no mercy for his former friend, as he continued to pull on the chain to apply more pressure around Iwasaki's neck... Iwasaki's body finally gave out, forcing referee Akinori Fuwa to render Iwata the victor by knockout! Iwata rubbed the win in as he posed over Iwasaki's limp body...
- Up next, Jet Jaguar and Nansei Nihon Pro-Wrestling's GALLEON made their V4 defense of the PWC Jr. Tag Team titles, defending against the heavy underdogs, RYUJI and Manabe Tsuji. The "OSAKA WILD STYLE" team impressed the crowd with their newfound confidence, coming off of their recent performance in Nansei. Jaguar and GALLEON took the two as a serious threat, and worked hard to put them away. The pace quickened after the ten minute mark, with Jaguar and GALLEON pulling off some amazing dives to the outside onto the challenges. On the flip side, Manabe Tsuji gave a leveled up performance in using his strength to throw Jaguar and GALLEON around like dolls at times. In the end, the bout came down to Tsuji and GALLEON, with the veteran GALLEON trying to put Tsuji away. However, Tsuji answered GALLEON's Genesic Clutch attempt with a VICIOUS lariat, which set GALLEON up for the Guts Coaster! Even then, that would not be enough to keep GALLEON down, as he kicked out at 2.9... Tsuji was forced to pull out another Guts Coaster, this time with added impact! Jaguar tried his hardest to make the save, but all he could do was watch as Tsuji scored the massive upset! Korakuen Hall was stunned as OSAKA WILD STYLE dethroned the seemingly unbeatable DREAM HEROES team!
Tsuji and RYUJI both celebrated emphatically their first ever title win. In near tears, RYUJI called his two parents into the ring, and thanked them for supporting him for all of these years. Tsuji said that he and RYUJI would become what TAKU and Mastodon Fukuda are to the heavyweight tag teams, and promised to elevate the status of the PWC Jr. Tag Team titles even higher!
- We then came to the "FULL CONFRONTATION" between UPRISER'Z and NEW FORCE, as NEW FORCE's Hidaka Kamon faced Kyoto Okazaki in the first of four bouts. The two put up a fast-paced match as the two traded control. Towards the end, Okazaki connected with the Perfect Dark, but failed to follow up with the Moonsault press, as Kamon rolled out of the way, en route to catching Okazaki with the Pescatore Nodo to cradle Okazaki for the three count, giving NEW FORCE the first win in the series!
The next bout saw Etsuya Kawachi battle F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion Shin Kaiju. Kawachi did his best to use his speed and quickness against Kaiju's brute power. The strategy appeared to be working, as he gained several close near falls with cradles. But eventually, Kaiju's brute force caused Kawachi to change tactics. The two slugged it out for the remainder of the bout. Kawachi attempted to use the go 2 school to finish Kaiju, but Kaiju was able to overpower Kawachi, before delivering a BRUTAL enzui lariat, which set up an even more brutal release German Suplex! Kaiju then connected with the Kaiju Lariat, giving him a 2.5 count. Kaiju finished Kawachi with the diving body press, tying up the series one-one!
The final two matches would serve as a preview of 5/31, as "TAKANABE" and the "Chojin Powers" squared off in individual one-on-one bouts. First was TAKU and Naoyuki Watanabe, who thrilled Korakuen Hall with the best bout of the evening. The two went at it in an incredible back-and-forth match. But after several near falls between the two, TAKU finally caught Watanabe with his third Chojin Bomber to give UPRISER'Z the edge going into the main event.
Takayoshi and Watanabe continued the streak of exciting action as they squared off once more. As always, Fukuda impressed with his mammoth-like strength, hurling Takayoshi around as if he was a junior heavyweight. The two engaged in a very high-spurt style, leaving no room for preliminary mat work or the like. While Fukuda impressed early on, he would end up making a series of poor mistakes towards the end, leaving him open to Akira and his Tiger Suplex hold, giving NEW FORCE the win to tie things up once more!
The post match left fans unsatisfied, as the series ended in an unfortunate tie... However, TAKU realized this, and said that he would NOT allow for such an unsatisfactory ending on an UPRISER'Z show, and proposed a special tie-breaker bout pitting the four winners from each side in a tag match. Without hesitation, Akira and Kamon accepted, as they faced TAKU and Shin Kaiju in a special "extra" bout. The match was all action, giving the fans a thrilling bout to go home on. In the end, Shin Kaiju would score his second victory of the night, after delivering an especially volatile Kaiju Lariat to Hidaka Kamon, giving UPRISER'Z the deciding victory!
Exhausted, Akira Takayoshi admitted defeat, and congratulated UPRISER'Z. TAKU scoffed, and said their acceptance of defeat was the reason why they were weak, as he noted that if they were defeated tonight, they would continue fighting even after the fact. Akira then asked TAKU what they would do when they lost their F-MAX Tag Team titles on 5/31. Annoyed, TAKU shot down the comment, saying that no team in the world could defeat he and Fukuda, and declared they would begin challenging champions from other organizations to prove they were the best... Both sides proposed one more face-off before 5/31, with 5/24 Hyogo show being decided as the date. An elimination tag match was decided, with all five NEW FORCE members facing TAKU, Fukuda, Okazaki, Kaiju, and RYUJI.
