- Hiroaki Nakata presented the biggest event in the short history of his BREAK BLOW concept from Korakuen Hall tonight. Producer Nakata greeted the fans at the start, welcoming them to the event. He said that he was proud of what he had accomplished thus far with BREAK BLOW, but aspires for more with tonight's event. Nakata also announced that he would continue to expand his portfolio as a promoter by holding a mixed martial arts event under the BREAK BLOW banner later this year. In addition, Producer Nakata announced that he would be expanding his concept into new areas, announcing that "BREAK BLOW Vol. 8" on 9/25 will be held from Osaka's UMEDA HEAT BEAT, which was a popular venue FURY frequently ran many years ago. As always, he thanked the fans for their support, and promised a thrilling event.
- The first match pitted The headstrong Manabe Tsuji, who battled against Nansei Nihon's "Young Shooter," Shuji Kido. Both men have become something of rivals within the BREAK BLOW ring, having fought to a time limit draw back at BREAK BLOW Vol. 3 in March. The two met once more last month in a tag match, where Manabe Tsuji got the better of Shuji after pinning him. Tonight however, it was Kido's opportunity to redeem himself. Neither man held anything back, and even surprised the fans with the ferociousness of their attacks. Within moments, both men were showing guts by outright asking for the other to take their best shot. Tsuji, using his short-burst strength appeared to have the upper hand early on after staggering Kido with a flurry of jarring slaps across the face, only for Kido to strike, BLASTING Tsuji with a BRUTAL elbow to the side of Tsuji's jaw, dropping him to a knee! As the match progressed, both men exchanged control, while showing off a mixture of technique, strength, and speed. Later, Tsuji was able to get the upper hand after telegraphing Kido's uraken attempt with a vicious Spear for a near fall. Kido however put up some resistance when Tsuji tried to finish him with the Guts Coaster, forcing Tsuji to call an audible by dropping Kido chest first across his knee, before spiking Kido's head into the mat with a DDT! Towards the end, Tsuji tried to finish Kido with a Powerbomb, only for the technically proficient Kido to counter with a triangle hold! Many thought it would be the end of Tsuji, whose legs gave out after desperately trying to lift Kido up to slam his way free. Thankfully for him, he was able to reach the ropes with his foot for the break, putting both men on even footing for the conclusion, which saw both men once more trade brutal shots. Tsuji however appeared to grow stronger with every blow Kido landed. Kido finally threw a right-legged high kick, BLASTING Kido in the side of the head with his signature blow! Tsuji however responded with eyes wide open, while sticking out his tongue in defiance! Kido struck again, throwing another high kick, only for Tsuji to duck! In doing so however, he was BLASTED with a sneaking follow-up kick! The shot stunned Tsuji, leaving him wide open for a final Explosion High Kick, sending Tsuji's body crumbling into a heap on the mat, allowing Kido to score the three count!
After the match, Kido half heartedly praised Tsuji, but said he would expect a better effort in their future matches... He also praised the BREAK BLOW concept, saying that he has grown immensely since its creation, as he has had many great opportunities in wrestling many different opponents. However, he said that he would now set his sights on BREAK BLOW boss Hiroaki Nakata!
- A match years in the making finally took place tonight in Korakuen Hall, as Burning Spirit Dojo rivals Naoyuki Watanabe and BURNING PARADISE's Tetsuo Tange met one another in their first singles match in over four years. Then, they were merely rookies embarking on what they hoped would be illustrious careers. Now, they were bonafide stars in their respective promotions. Before the match, a pleasant surprise was revealed in the form of Burning Dojo leader Yoshihiro Yujiro was introduced as the special referee, along with presenting both Watanabe and Tange with flowers. Both men showed no ill-will towards the other, as they both shook hands before the bout. The match was the exact opposite of the prior, being that they took a very slow and methodical approach to the start, as they tried to feel the other out. The two engaged in an exchange of holds on the mat, with neither getting ahead. Things picked up finally after Watanabe isolated Tange's right leg and began to kick away at the inside of his knee. Tange immediately jumped to his feet, and fired back with a fiery shove! This led to an exchange of forearms, with the bigger Tange winning out, allowing him to come off the ropes. However, Watanabe promptly countered, throwing a pin-point dropkick to Tange's right knee, sending him rolling onto the mat. The leg work continued from Watanabe, who spent the next couple of minutes trying to inflict damage on Tange's right leg. Tange finally was able to fight back after reaching his feet, before catching Watanabe coming off the ropes with a jumping knee to the face! Tange shook off the damage to his limb, and upped the pace a bit after whipping Watanabe into the corner, and connecting with a lariat, before following up with a quick vertical suplex. Tange would continue on offense until trying for one of his early signature attacks, the spear! Watanabe however managed to leap-frog the attack, before catching Tange with a crushing jumping elbow smash as he was recovering! Watanabe's offense wouldn't last however, as he aimed for a German Suplex hold, allowing Tange to counter with a go-behind and connect with a Backdrop! After hitting Watanabe with another lariat in the corner, Tange tried to deal a decisive blow with a Superplex, only to be met with some resistance. However, after quelling his comeback with elbows, Tange was able to get off his Superplex, sending both he and Watanabe crashing to the mat! The match had a rather unique exchange minutes later, as Watanabe pulled off the Superdriver, taught to him by his mentor, "The Superstar" Jason Ramsey. Minutes later however, Tange fired back with a Shining Wizard, taught to him by his mentor, Genji Yamato! The closing moments saw Tange aiming to finish Watanabe with his "Revolver" finisher. Watanabe however countered with a drop-down, before catching Tange with a Dragon Suplex hold for a 2.5! He tried to follow with a second, only for Tange to break free. As he came off the ropes, Watanabe acted once more, hitting another dropkick to Tange's knee, dropping him down to a kneeling position, leaving him wide-open for the Shining Kenka Kick! Watanabe followed with the cover, only for Tange to kick out at 2.9! Watanabe followed by pulling Tange up, before grabbing both of Tange's wrists, and slowly placing them behind his head, before finally getting off the Kodou-style Dragon Suplex hold! The fans roared as Yoshihiro Yujiro made the three count!
Both wrestlers were emotional afterwards, with all 1,953 fans shouting cries of support for both men. As both men recovered, Yoshihiro Yujiro took the microphone, and in his scratchy voice, praised the efforts of both men, saying not only was he proud to officiate this match, but he was proud to be their teacher, leading to Yujiro having an emotional embrace with Watanabe and Tange. The two finally addressed one another directly. Tange said he had no excuses for his loss, calling Watanabe the better man "tonight." He however refused to admit that Watanabe was the strongest of the two, and said they would have to continue to do their best in their respective organizations. Watanabe agreed, and said he was extremely happy to have this match tonight. He somewhat echoed Tange's sentiments, saying that while he got the win tonight, it could have easily gone the other way... He encouraged Tange to continue to do his best in BURNING PARADISE, while he does the same in FURY, and said that someday, he wants to have a rematch with Tange, when both are the champions of their respective organizations.
- The next bout featured something of a dream match pitting Tatsumichi Akamatsu against Keiji Takano, albeit in a tag team bout. Korakuen fans erupted as the famed Keiji Takano entered, alongside former trainee Channarong Boriwaan. Akamatsu however was greeted favorably as well, as he was accompanied by his partner and disciple Daisuke Yamazaki. Although they teased the opposite, Takano and Akamatsu delighted the crowd by facing off one-on-one to start the bout. The two superpowers tested the mettle of the other by using blunt-force blows to try and weaken the other. However, neither man wavered! Both eventually tagged out to their partners, allowing them to show off their skills. Boriwaan controlled Yamazaki using takedowns and submission work, forcing Yamazaki to fight back and catching Boriwaan with a diving shoulder tackle, before blasting Keiji Takano with a cheap shot! The attack drew the ire of both Takano and the fans, who booed Yamazaki's disrespectful actions. Yamazaki later tagged out to Akamatsu, who continued to assault Boriwaan with brutal kicks and European forearms. Boriwaan occasionally fought back with kicks of his own, only to be shot down by Akamatsu. Akamatsu and Yamazaki continued to make quick tags as they wore Boriwaan out. It wasn't until Boriwaan countered Yamazaki's bulldog headlock attempt, allowing him to catch him with an enzuigiri to the back of the skull! Boriwaan was finally able to tag out to his mentor, Keiji Takano! With the fans going wild, Takano unleashed a flurry of blows, before SPIKING Yamazaki with a vertical brainbuster! Akamatsu soon tried to make the save, only to be cut off by Boriwaan. Yamazaki tried to fight back with elbows, only to be thrown to the mat with a powerful judo throw! Yamazaki climbed to his feet, and immediately collided into Takano with a lariat attempt... As he went for another, Takano ducked the attack, before BLASTING Yamazaki with the Axe Bomber! As Yamazaki stumbled to his feet, Takano once more threw Yamazaki to the mat with a judo toss, before locking in the TAKANO LOCK X! Once the hold was applied, Yamazaki tapped out immediately, giving Keiji Takano the victory!
The Tokyo fans roared with cheers for the triumphant Keiji Takano. Takano and Akamatsu had an intense stare down after the match, only for Akamatsu to leave with the beaten Yamazaki... Takano thanked the fans for their support, and said that while he enjoyed tonights match, he was searching for a higher challenge, and said he would watch tonight's main event to see if such a higher challenge existed...
- Yoshihiro Shimoda and Jin Hiroto, the "HOKKAIDO KINGS" faced "OVERTHROW," Naoki Daishi and Akahito Yamada in one of the most anticipated matches of the night, pitting two of the most exciting Junior tag teams against each other! The early going saw Daishi and Yamada take an initiative against Shimoda and Hiroto, with them hitting stereo tope suicidas after Shimoda and Hiroto retreated to the outside. Back in the ring however, the Hokkaido Kings took over after working over Akahito Yamada. The two used simple submissions to ground Yamada for the next few minutes. However, the two met some friendly fire after Hiroto accidentally caught Shimoda with an elbow, allowing Yamada to tag out to Daishi. Together, OVERTHROW once again used teamwork to establish control. Yamada and Shimoda had an incredible exchange of counter-attacks later on, with both men fluidly transitioning between Yamada's Crossface of YAMADA and Shimoda's jujigatame until Yamada finally trapped Shimoda in the crossface, forcing Hiroto to make the save. Later on, the Hokkaido Kings disposed of Yamada to the outside, allowing them the two-on-one over Naoki Daishi. Hiroto tried to break Daishi down with his brutal kicks, before connecting with the Dragon Suplex hold for a two count. After connecting with the Torokeru Conbi, Shimoda caught Daishi with the Torokeru Knee Kick. Had it not been for the last second save from Yamada, Daishi may not have been able to kickout. Daishi was finally able to fight back after countering Shimoda's German Suplex with one of his own, allowing him to tag out to Yamada. Together, the two wore down Shimoda enough for Yamada to fold Shimoda in half with the Cross-armed German Suplex hold, giving him a 2.5 count! Moments later, Yamada caught Shimoda with his trademark Missile Kick, sending Shimoda into the waiting arms of Naoki Daishi, who SPIKED Shimoda with a Northern Light Bomb! The fans sensed the end as Yamada went for the cover, only for Jin Hiroto to make the diving save at 2.9! Daishi tried to oust Hiroto from the ring once again, only for Hiroto to counter, tossing Daishi to the floor! Hiroto aided his partner in coming back, as the two used their kicks to break Yamada down. Towards the end, the bout reached a fevered pitch between Jin Hiroto and Akahito Yamada, who traded big moves in the closing moments of the match. Yamada nearly had the win with the Crossface of YAMADA, only for Hiroto to reach the ropes. Hiroto however thwarted Yamada's Cross-Armed German attempt, before countering with a backflip kick, catching Yamada across the top of the head! It would finally take a Dragon Suplex hold, and TWO Jumping High Kicks to keep Yamada down, giving Jin Hiroto the pinfall!
- We finally came to the night's main event, as BREAK BLOW Producer Hiroaki Nakata made his third defense of the WWA National Heavyweight title against the wily veteran, Masafumi Satake. The Tokyo fans were almost entirely behind the champion, who received a huge ovation as he made his entrance into Korakuen Hall. Satake however had his share of supporters, carrying the flag of the former DYNAMITE organization. After the pre-match ballyhoo, the match kicked off. Both technicians showed respect for the other by taking a slow, methodical approach to the match. The two engaged in locking fingers to start, with the challenger quickly taking Nakata to the mat before applying an armlock. The champion however fought his way back to his feet, where he in turn took Satake down, before locking in a hizajujigatame, forcing Satake to grab the ropes for the break! A few moments later, Satake caught Nakata with a flurry of forearms, prompting the champion to respond with three HARD kicks to the body. Satake once more unloaded with forearms, before finally whipping Nakata into the ropes, before CRUSHING him with a jumping elbow smash! Nakata stumbled forward towards the ring, only to telegraph Satake coming off the ropes, snapping him across the mat with a front suplex, followed by a sharp soccer kick between Satake's shoulder blades! The pace picked up for both men, who attacked one another with incredible vigor. Satake proved to be a formidable foe early on, using an array of suplexes to wear down the champion. Nakata however managed to counter Satake's Matsuzaka Cutter by grabbing his arm and forcing him to the mat, where he locked in a wakigatame! Nakata pulled back on Satake's arm with all of his might, applying incredible pressure to Satake's shoulder. The challenger however did his best to fight the pain en route to grabbing the ropes for an escape. From that point, Satake's left arm became the primary target of the champion, who used arm breakers and brutal kicks to further break his resistance. Satake however still had fight left later, as he countered Nakata's shoulder-armbreaker with a Cobra Clutch suplex for a near fall! With Nakata hurt, Satake went for the death knell after connecting with the Matsuzaka Cutter. But even that wouldn't be enough to sink the champion, as Nakata kicked out of the pin attempt that followed at 2.5! Nakata finally mounted a comeback after ducking Satake's rapidly approaching Rolling Elbow, before landing a counter-blow High Kick, stunning the challenger long enough for Nakata to fold him in half with his Dragon Suplex hold for a 2.5 pin attempt! However, as Satake kicked out, Nakata rolled straight into reapplying the Wakigatame in the center of the ring! Satake tried desperately to reach the ropes, only for Nakata to keep him away! Nakata finally pulled back one final time, applying enough pressure to force Satake to submit!
The fans roared in cheers and applause for both competitors. After the match, Nakata praised the technique of Satake, but said that it wasn't yet the time for him to lose the title... He thanked the fans for making tonight's event a success, and said that he would continue to push the "BREAK BLOW" brand into new ventures. He called many of the night's wrestlers back to the ring, including Yoshihiro Shimoda, Jin Hiroto, Naoyuki Watanabe, Tetsuo Tange and Shuji Kido. Nakata finally ended the show, performing the traditional "BREAK! BLOW! FIGHT!" call.
