However, Fukuda quickly grew tired of the annoyance, and blasted Sendo with a vicious short lariat to send him to the canvas. Fukuda covered him immediately, only for the spirited Sendo to kick out quickly after two, garnering a big reaction from the fans! Finally, Fukuda scooped Sendo up, before DRIVING him into the mat with the Mastodon Buster to keep Sendo down for good... Fukuda didn't seem to know how to take the Gifu crowd, who shouted cries of cheers and support towards him.

- A year and a half ago, 11th term graduate Seiji Sasaki told the world that he would be undergoing a world-wide excursion in order to strengthen himself. In reality however, Sasaki dawned the mask of Kinniku Kamen, becoming the second incarnation of the popular character. After facing off against his dojo friend and rival Norihiro Akashi, Sasaki was convinced to remove his mask, and resume his career as Seiji Sasaki tonight in Gifu, as he and Akashi faced Tetsuhisa NAKAI and freelancer Ryuugo Nagashima. Sasaki received loud cheers for his official return. Fans were surprised to see the toned, muscular body that Sasaki had hidden away under the Kinniku Kamen costume for all these years. Sasaki faced off against Nagashima, who used his power to bully Sasaki around during the early going. However, Sasaki aimed to surprise the fans and his opponent, as he turned up his speed to confuse Nagashima before catching him with a RIDER KICK! Later, NAKAI faced off against Akashi, hoping to gauge his newfound strength for himself. Akashi held nothing back against him, and lit his chest ablaze with chops. Akashi further showed his power by NAKAI's large frame overhead with a brainbuster. However, NAKAI showed that Akashi still had a ways to go as NAKAI cut him off with his trademark lariat. In the end, Sasaki and Nagashima continued their exchange with Sasaki continually impressing the fans. Sasaki eventually caught Nagashima with the SS Smash, before climbing to the ropes. Before he could follow through however, Nagashima recovered just in time to toss Sasaki off! As Sasaki sat up, Nagashima BLASTED him with the R-Bracer, allowing Nagashima to get the pin! The fans applauded in appreciation afterwards, with chants of "SA-SA-KI!" flowing. Sasaki, understandably emotional, thanked the fans, and everyone in the ring, and promised he would continue to work harder to reach the level of his rival Norihiro Akashi...

In the end however, it would come down to the mammoth sumo Chikao Kessin and YAKUTA, who traded heavy blows. YAKUTA tried to soften Kessin up with blunt kenka kicks to the face.

- In the fifth match of the night, the mushozoku junior team of Jet Jaguar and the OKINAWA SPEED STARS battled the UPRISER'Z trio of F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion Shin Kaiju and the PWC Jr. Tag Team Champions RYUJI and Manabe Tsuji in a giant preliminary skirmish before the two upcoming title matches on 6/18 and 6/20. UPRISER'Z ambushed their opponents before the bell, leading to a chaotic brawl around ringside and even into the crowd! Order was somewhat restored after Tsuji dragged Ota back to the ring. The two traded shots, before Tsuji subdued Ota once more with power. Ota would later use his agility to combat Tsuji's strength, allowing him to tag out to Jaguar. Before Jaguar could mount any offense however, he would be cut off by both Kaiju and RYUJI. However, Jaguar fought valiantly and waited for the perfect time to strike as he ducked a double lariat, before rebounding off the ropes and hitting the two with a split-foot dropkick! Towards the end, Ota and RYUJI faced off as the two legal men while Jaguar, Kaiju, Shirai and Tsuji brawled outside.
