- The J1-MAX League continued in Hyogo tonight. The first match saw the eagerly anticipated debut of the "Greco Superman," 198cm Mamoru Sekishima, who faced the man he idolized through out his high school and college wrestling days, "Mr. 300%" Kazuma Fujita. Being a Hyogo native, Sekishima received a huge ovation. It was a strange side, as Sekishima had the size advantage over Fujita. Finally, Fujita decided to waste no more time as he BLASTED Sekishima with VICIOUS chops to the chest. Sekishima took the shots as if it was a ritual, before firing back with THICK chops of his own, sending the patriarch of the FURY dojo stumbling back! Fujita then decided to test Sekishima's strength, as the two engaged in a collar-and-elbow lockup. Sekishima immediately established his strength by sending Fujita backpedaling, before SHOVING him into the corner! Fujita tried once more with the collar-and-elbow. This time, Fujita redeemed himself as he managed to muscle Sekishima into the ropes. Fujita slowly let up as referee Akinori Fuwa called for the break. Sekishima however boldly caught Fujita with a JARRING slap across the face, gaining a HUGE reaction! This was too much for Fujita, who UNLOADED on the rookie with a flurry of VICIOUS elbows! Just as Sekishima appeared to be slipping into unconsciousness, Fujita whipped the 120kg Sekishima into the ropes, before BLASTING HIM WITH THE FUJITA LARIAT! Fujita covered Sekishima for the win, ONLY FOR THE ROOKIE TO KICK OUT AT ONE! Fujita followed with another lariat attempt... However, Sekishima cut him off with a BRUTAL kitchen sink! Sekishima continued to put up a tough fight, until Fujita caught him with a second Fujita Lariat. Rather than go for the pin, Fujita mustered up the strength to lift the 120kg Sekishima off the ground, before FOLDING him in half with a Powerbomb, pinning his shoulders to the mat for the three count!
The Hyogo fans gave an exhausted Sekishima a round of applause after the match. Sekishima said he gave his best tonight, and had no regrets in losing to his idol. Fujita praised him afterwards, admitting that he had underestimated him early on into the match.
- In the third match, Naoki Fukuda and REAL-ONE continued their feud with TAKU and UPRISER'Z. Fukuda shed the rest of his "Mastodon" persona tonight, as he used the "Real" (formally Mastodon) Buster to score the pinfall over Manabe Tsuji. Fukuda and TAKU repeated much of their verbal exchanges from last night. TAKU promised to change the FURY mat colors of gold and silver to "black and red" with Fukuda's guts...
- The J1-MAX League continued as UPRISER'Z allies collided, with F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight Champion Shin Kaiju facing RYUJI. There was some tension between the two as they came into the ring. Both men had an intense stare down before the gong sounded... Finally, the two friends locked up. Kaiju had the obvious advantage, as he muscled RYUJI across the ring. After the two got some separation, RYUJI finally came off the ropes, only to be knocked flat on his back with a shoulder tackle. Kaiju dropped down for the cover... And to the surprise of the fans... RYUJI didn't kick out. RYUJI calmly sat up as the gong sounded, revealing the entire match to be a ruse. The fans booed heavily as RYUJI celebrated with Kaiju, who mocked the fans for buying into it...
- Next we have ATSUKA and Hidaka Kamon in the A block. ATSUKA aimed to continue his winning ways tonight, while Kamon hoped to score his first win after falling to Jet Jaguar last night. The two had an enjoyable sprint, with Kamon surprisingly controlling a good portion of the match. However, ATSUKA eventually caught him with the Punk Dropkick, followed by the AC-Z. ATSUKA later connected with a Moonsault press that nearly gave him the victory. Kamon came back after countering ATSUKA's AT-Z, which allowed him to spike ATSUKA with a Fisherman Buster! Kamon then tried to finish ATSUKA with the Pescatore Nodo. ATSUKA however escaped the attempt, before catching Kamon with a savate kick, followed by an kneeling enzuigiri! Eventually, ATSUKA caught Kamon in the dreaded Nudo Lagunero. Kamon tried to escape, but when it was clear there was no where to go, Kamon was forced to submit!
- The A block continued in the semi final, as Jet Jaguar did battle with UPRISER'Z's Kyoto Okazaki. Okazaki took every shortcut in the book early on after ambushing Jaguar before the bell. Okazaki dragged him around ringside and hurled him into a row of empty chairs as fans scattered away. In the ring, Jaguar made a comeback using precise kicks, before finally catching Okazaki with an axe kick to the chest as he came into the corner. From there, Jaguar did what he could to put away the veteran. Okazaki however countered out of Jaguar's Spiral Bomb attempt with a groin attack, which allowed him to BLAST Jaguar in the chest with the Colt Python. However, Jaguar managed to crotch him on the top rope as he went for the Moonsault. With Okazaki prone, Jaguar connected with a BRUTAL avalanche Backdrop, driving Okazaki on the back of his head! While Okazaki managed to kick out at 2.5, he had nothing left to fight Jaguar, who finished "The Outlaw" with the Spiral Bomb, giving Jaguar his second straight win!
- In the main event, Yoshihiro Shimoda and Shigeru Iwasaki clashed as two of FURY's streamline junior heavyweight stars searched for their first win in the tournament. Both men came into the ring knowing what to aspect from the other, and took the bout one step at a time as the match began. The two engaged in some mat work early on, with neither man seemingly getting the upper hand. Tempers eventually flared, as Shimoda WHACKED Iwasaki between the shoulder blades with a fierce kick. The shot awoken some vigor within Iwasaki, who answered with a flurry of elbows! The exchange continued, until Iwasaki finally caught Shimoda with a SNAPPING shining enzuigiri to get control of the match! Iwasaki maintained that control for the next few minutes, until Shimoda caught him with a back elbow as Iwasaki came rushing into the corner. From there, Shimoda threw a flurry of kicks, ending with a HARD savate kick to the stomach, lifting Iwasaki off his feet! After a vertical suplex, Shimoda once more planted another kick between Iwasaki's shoulder blades, before grounding him with a chin lock. Iwasaki eventually fought his way back to his feet, only for Shimoda to let up on the hold and land a flurry of knee kicks to Iwasaki's upper body! However, as Shimoda came off the ropes, Iwasaki fought back with a SHARP kick to the body, sending Shimoda stumbling back into the corner. There, Iwasaki stepped off the corner, before BLASTING Shimoda with another enzuigiri! Finally, as Shimoda staggered out of the corner, Iwasaki struck, blasting Shimoda in the back of the skull with the Tsumujikaze! The fans sensed the end as they counted along with the fall. Shimoda however disagreed, as he kicked out after 2.5! As the 15-minute mark passed, Iwasaki aimed to finish it once and for all, as he hooked Shimoda's arm in the hammerlock DDT position to set up the Cross Knell! Shimoda however escaped, before ROCKING Iwasaki with a high kick! With Iwasaki stunned, Shimoda followed with a picture perfect German Suplex hold! However, Iwasaki would muster the strength to kick out at 2.5! This time, Shimoda aimed to finish it as he pulled Iwasaki up, before unloading with the Torokeru Combination! After another THUDDING high kick, Shimoda came roaring off the ropes for the Torokeru Knee. However, Iwasaki managed to side-step it at the last second, before leaping for another shining enzuigiri! Shimoda however deflected the shot as well, before coming off the ropes and BLASTING IWASAKI WITH THE TOROKERU KNEE! As the clock reached the 19:00 mark, Shimoda went for the cover, ONLY FOR IWASAKI TO KICK OUT AT 2.5! After dragging Iwasaki towards the center of the ring, Shimoda went for broke as he applied a CHICKENWING ARMLOCK! With fifteen seconds left in the match, Shimoda CRANKED back on Iwasaki's shoulder as hard as he could. Iwasaki SCREAMED in pain, but refused to submit! He slowly inched himself towards the ropes... But thankfully for him, that was not needed as the twenty-minute time limit expired!
The fans applauded the efforts of both men, despite being somewhat deflated at the non-result... Both men appeared very frustrated, but quickly came to terms on the result. Both men bowed respectfully to the Hyogo fans, who met them off with a huge round of applause...
