- The fourth night of the F-MAX Summit tournament emanated from Kyoto tonight in front of over 4,000 fans. In the first tournament match, Norihiro Akashi continued his tremendous reform by defeating Jun Kobayashi after using his brutal Ignition Crash. The win keeps Akashi's tournament hopes alive after suffering back-to-back losses on the first two nights... Masato Osagawa also scored a victory in defeating Nansei Nihon's Shuji Kido. Kido proved to be a difficult challenge early on before Osagawa's power finally won out... Kazuma Fujita got back on the winning track after last nights defeat to Keiji Takano, as he put down Chikao Kessin with his trademark lariat... In a big upset, CRIMSON's powerhouse Masakazu Fujimoto managed to score the win over Naoyuki Watanabe, giving him his second win of the tournament. Fujimoto surprised Watanabe with his aggression, and managed to beat him using his deadly “Mt. Fujimoto Bomb” Death Valley bomb... Coming off of a loss to Akira Takayoshi, TAKU faced Superstar Pro-Wrestling Ace Masahiro Sakamoto, who unfortunately had to deal with TAKU's frustration coming off of a loss. Sakamoto looked good through out the match, using his technical skills to try and put down the raging beast. TAKU's cutthroat tactics and aggressive style would prove to be too much however, as the Chojin Bomber spelled the end for Sakamoto... Hiroaki Nakata followed up his win over Otsuo Kayusa last night by pinning Naoki Fukuda with his Dragon Suplex in what was a tough match for both competitors. It came down to the wire, as either man could have taken it. Nakata however managed to tuck his knees as Fukuda went for his Mastodon Splash, allowing him to finish Fukuda with the Dragon Suplex hold... Despite being the semi final, the match most fans saw as the show's main event pitted Akira Takayoshi against Keiji Takano for the first time in a singles match. Both wrestlers took each other to their limit as the match would eventually reach its 30:00 time limit. Akira came close to beating Takano towards the end, who seemed fatigued after wrestling for nearly an hour over a near-24 hour period. After the match, Takano bestowed praise upon Akira, recalling the days where Akira was a “young boy” in Burning Spirit Pro-Wrestling. The two shook hands in a sign of mutual respect... In the main event, the F-MAX Unified Heavyweight Champion Otsuo Kayusa managed to score his second win of the tournament over last years winner, Tetsuhisa NAKAI in what was a fierce battle. Kayusa had to weather NAKAI's brutal style of chops and vicious suplexes early on, but managed to isolate NAKAI's ankle through out the match, before finally forcing him to submit...

- In the only non-tournament match, the Nansei Nihon Pro-Wrestling team of GALLEON, FALCON Hori, Wataru Yamada, and Keisuke Rongai invaded to face the united NEW FORCE/Mushozoku team of Etsuya Kawachi, Hidaka Kamon, Fumihiko Shirai, and Nansei's All Pacific Jr. Heavyweight Champion, Kotaro Ota in a fun junior sprint. In the end, it would be Ota's 11/24 challenger Wataru Yamada who would score the victory after using his SS Arrow on Kamon. Ota and Yamada faced off after the match, exchanging heated words before finally being pulled apart...
