[Results] 5/24/2009 @ Kobe Sambo Hall

- All roads lead to Kyocera, as Pro-Wrestling FURY made its final stop before the 5/31 spectacular! As always, a packed house filled the Kobe Sambo Hall in Hyogo. In the first match, The former CHAOTICS trio of ATSUKA, YAKUTA, and Kotaro Ota scored a victory over the team of Jet Jaguar, Kinniku Kamen Nisei, and Jun Kobayashi.

After the match, F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion Shin Kaiju and Kyoto Okazaki made a surprise appearance, confronting ATSUKA regarding the proposed 5/31 "All Star Junior" tag match. As promised, Hyogo's own GALLEON appeared, throwing his name into the ring, as did Jet Jaguar. Yoshihiro Shimoda as well appeared, announcing his participation. Suddenly, another outsider made a surprise appearance, as Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's HAYATO SAIGO appeared, announcing his intentions of participating! The surprises would continue, as one of the most iconic teams in Pro-Wrestling FURY history, KANJI Sakaigama and Jin Hiroto, the VISUAL SPIRITS appeared! KANJI was as boisterous as ever, declaring that there could not be an "All Star" match without him, and announced that 5/31 would be his first match in Japan in over two years! With nine men confirmed, one more was needed... And of course, the demand would be filled as former FURY star YOSHI YUJITA made a shocking appearance, announcing his intention of participating, promising to show the Pro-Wrestling FURY fans his growth in his hometown of Osaka! ATSUKA laughed, noting that there was so much bad blood between people that forming two cohesive teams may be impossible...

- Coming off of the UPRISER'Z 2nd Anniversary show, Shigeru Iwasaki and Daisuke Iwata faced off in a tag confrontation for the first time since their brutal chain deathmatch. Both men still had marks on their head from the reckless fight. In the end, Iwata continued to ride his tide of momentum by gripping Shirai's throat with the paralyzing Cobra Claw for the three count. Afterwards, Iwasaki expressed his desire to continue fighting Iwata, and issued a challenge to him for 5/31. Iwata accepted, but only in a six-man tag match, citing he had no desire to face Iwasaki in a singles match after defeating him on 5/20. Begrudgingly, Iwasaki accepted. Fumihiko Shirai offered his assistance, hoping to redeem himself after tonight. Naturally, Shirai's fellow OKINAWA SPEED STARS partner Kotaro Ota also offered his help, confirming Iwasaki's team. Iwata announced the new PWC Jr. Heavyweight Tag Team Champions, RYUJI and Manabe Tsuji as his partners!

- Next, Tetsuhisa NAKAI led the inexperienced duo of Tetsujin and Ryuugo Nagashima against the STRONG RIDERS trio of Otsuo Kayusa, Kyoshima Yosuken, and Kenichiro Hujikawa. All six men put on an entertaining bout, as NAKAI doing his best to instruct Tetsujin and Nagashima. Unfortunately, the experience gap was too much for them, as Kenichiro Hujikawa caught Nagashima with the Axe Bomber K, giving STRONG RIDERS the victory... After the match, there was some strife between Tetsujin and Nagashima. While Nagashima received sporting handshakes and praise from NAKAI and STRONG RIDERS, Tetsujin met him with a disrespectful shove! Tempers flared as Nagashima and Tetsujin lunged at one another, only to be held back!

- The first of three "ROAD TO KYOCERA Special" matches took place next, as NAKATA'S ARMY face Tatsumichi Akamatsu's STRONGHOLD faction in a direct eight-man tag confrontation. However, just like they did on 5/22, STRONGHOLD once again remained supreme, after Akamatsu took Go Taniguchi out with the deadly Jumping High Kick. After the match, Nakata praised the cohesiveness of STRONGHOLD, but said that the true winner would be determined on 5/31 between he and Nakata. Akamatsu agreed, and said that their fight would be no doubt "RADICAL." Nakata promised to give his all on 5/31, with Akamatsu agreeing to do the same...

- Next, NEW FORCE collided with UPRISER'Z for the final time before 5/31 in a ten-man tag elimination match, pitting all five members of NEW FORCE against the F-MAX Tag Team Champions TAKU & Mastodon Fukuda, along with F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion Shin Kaiju, Kyoto Okazaki, and one-half of the PWC Jr. Tag Team Champions, RYUJI. The two captains of each team, Akira Takayoshi and TAKU started the match off with brawling, showing no hesitation in tearing into one another before their fated tag team title match. However, their overzealousness caused both men to send themselves tumbling over the top rope, eliminating BOTH men in just over two-minutes in! Watanabe and Fukuda took over as their respective team captains. Things would be rough for NEW FORCE however, as Kazuki Sendo was eliminated five minutes later, after being spiked onto his skull by RYUJI's Tombstone Driver. The bad luck would continue as Shin Kaiju eliminated Hidaka Kamon after two consecutive Kaiju Lariats. However, Watanabe would show his craftiness in eliminating the F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion just thirty-four seconds later via ring out! Four minutes later, Kawachi would avenge Sendo after countering RYUJI's Tombstone with the go 2 school, knocking him out for the elimination! However, Kawachi would not be long for the match, as Kyoto Okazaki eliminated him after face-planting him with the Otokogoroshi, giving UPRISER'Z the two-on-one advantage against Naoyuki Watanabe... Naturally, the two heels took advantage by double teaming Watanabe... However, their teamwork would backfire after Fukuda caught Okazaki with a mis-aimed Lariat, sending Okazaki FLYING over the top rope! Fukuda attempted to rectify his mistake by putting even more pressure on Watanabe. The two traded holds during the closing moment of the match. Watanabe did his best to counter-wrestle, which led to him ducking Fukuda's lariat and countering with a release Dragon Suplex, only for Fukuda to completely disregard the attack! After a brutal flurry of elbows, Fukuda tried to finish it with the Mastodon Hades... However, Watanabe struck once again, rolling forward and cradling Fukuda' holding his legs JUST BARELY long enough for the three count, giving NEW FORCE the win!

The Hyogo fans roared in cheers afterwards, as NEW FORCE dealt UPRISER'Z one final decisive victory before 5/31! The loss took UPRISER'Z completely off guard, who immediately protested the three count to referee Akinori Fuwa. Never the less, TAKU told Akira and Watanabe that there would be no "fluke cradles" on 5/31, and vowed to KILL "TakaNabe" to retain their titles!

- We finally came to the main event, as "Mr. 300%" Kazuma Fujita faced off against Ryo Inoue one final time before their fated showdown on 5/31. As always, the fans were taken in by the aura of Ryo Inoue, who carried himself with pride and confidence, while dragging the F-MAX Unified Heavyweight title behind him in his usual disrespectful fashion... Fujita's partner, Masafuji Yoshida was eager to test himself against Inoue, but he would be forced to do battle with former FURY Dojo graduate, Yuichi Miwa first. Miwa showed his incredible growth, using sharp kicks to try and cut down Yoshida, only for Yoshida to fight back with hearty chops to the chest. Eventually, both Fujita and Inoue were tagged in, giving the Hyogo fans yet another brief glimpse in what is in store for 5/31. The two traded simple holds, before stalemating as usual, showing neither man had an obvious advantage. In the end, Inoue would once again establish his dominance by forcing Yoshida to submit with a tight sleeper hold. However, Inoue decided to send a message to Fujita, by maintaining the sleeper even after the match, forcing Fujita to forcibly pull Inoue off! When Inoue continued to hold on, Fujita struck, SMASHING into the top of Inoue's head with VICIOUS kesagiri chops, prompting Inoue to release the hold! The Hyogo fans ROARED in unanimous cheers for Fujita, who chased the F-MAX Unified Heavyweight Champion off. For the first time since their match was announced, Fujita showed fire in his microphone work, declaring he was sick of Inoue's disrespect of mistreatment of Pro-Wrestling FURY wrestlers, and said that he would end Inoue's reign of TERROR on 5/31, in front of his home fans in Osaka. Inoue was delighted to hear this, and shot Inoue a pleased smile as he headed to the back...
