- In front of a large crowd of 7,000 fans, FURY returned to Fukuoka to hold its first “Big Match” offering of the 2010 year. As the show began, current President of Pro-Wrestling FURY Kazuma Fujita appeared to address the crowd. With now being a contracted wrestler for American organization Defiance Wrestling, Fujita officially announced his resignation as FURY President. He then announced his successor, calling out ring announcer Eizo Hayakawa. This came as a surprise to most. Hayakawa accepted Fujita's offer, and greeted the crowd. Hayakawa thanked Fujita for his services. Hayakawa said that FURY would continue Fujita's goal of atonement after the Nishida scandals of last year. He finished by thanking the fans for their support.
- The first match of the night saw Masato Osagawa, Mamoru Sekishima, and freelancer Ryuugo Nagashima score a victory over Masafuji Yoshida, Tetsujin, and NEW FORCE's Kazuki Sendo. The match had some good action early on between Osagawa and Yoshida, who traded power attacks. Nagashima and Tetsujin continued their rivalry as well, with both men taking cheap shots on the other. In the end, Osagawa would put Tetsujin down with a volatile Last Ride Powerbomb for the three count. Nagashima taunted Tetsujin after the match, causing a pull-apart between the two...
- The second match saw the return of the “SUPER” OKINAWA SPEED STARS, as Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's Hayato Saigo joined Kotaro Ota and Fumihiko Shirai in facing the first generation junior army trio of Yoshihiro Shimoda, ATSUKA, and Nobusan. The match saw quick action early on, with the veterans taking it to the SPEED STARS. The SPEED STARS came back however, before knocking all three to the outside, and connecting with three simultaneous tope suicidas! Later on, the SPEED STARS were able to show off their unique triple team attacks. Saigo would be the first to score a near fall after spiking Nobusan with a Brainbuster. However, Nobusan managed to tuck his knees in response to Saigo's Moonsault press. After tagging out, Nobusan and ATSUKA hit Saigo with a series of double team attacks, ending with ATSUKA connecting with the AC-Z. Saigo eventually came back after countering ATSUKA's BDSM with a shoulder throw. Towards the end, the match came down to Kotaro Ota and Nobusan, who traded elbows and kicks in the center of the ring. Nobusan nearly stole the match after catching one of Ota's thrust kicks, before punting him in the groin! Thankfully for Ota, he barely had the strength to kick out. Nobusan tried to end it with a Brainbuster. Ota however countered, before landing a fierce savate kick to the body. As he set up for the Violent Spark, Nobusan pushed Ota chest first into the corner... With Ota stumbling back, Nobusan jumped onto Ota's shoulders, before SPIKING HIM HEAD FIRST WITH A REVERSE FRANKENSTEINER! Rather than go for the cover, Nobusan climbed to the top, before CRUSHING Ota with a Firebird Splash, giving him the three count victory!
- Next was the first defense of Jet Jaguar's F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight title, as he faced UPRISER'Z member Kyoto Okazaki, the man who co-holds the record for most title defenses as F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight champion. To no surprise, Okazaki attacked Jaguar before the bell, before dragging him to the outside. Okazaki had no disregard for the rules, as he attacked Jaguar with just about every object he could find. Just as it appeared Referee Edd Sasaki was about to DQ him, Okazaki relented, and pulled Jaguar back into the ring. Jaguar fought back when he could, only to be cut off by Okazaki, who appeared to take great pleasure in punishing the champion. Jaguar finally managed to mount a serious comeback after ducking Okazaki's Kenka Kick, before answering with a jumping savate kick of his own. The final kick sent Okazaki through the middle rope to the outside, allowing Jet Jaguar to hit him with a vicious tope suicida! Back in the ring, Jaguar used his lucha skills to wear down Okazaki with various cradles and submissions. Okazaki managed to counter Jaguar's Victory roll attempt for a two count of his own. The two went back and forth with elbows and kicks, with Okazaki ultimately connecting with the Super Redhawk. Okazaki would go on to score his first serious near fall after crushing Jaguar with the Moonsault press. He aimed to finish the champion with the Otokogoroshi, only to be countered, as Jaguar hooked Okazaki with a backslide for a flash near fall! As both men charged to their feet, Okazaki cut Jaguar off, BLASTING him with the Perfect Black! He would eventually connect with the Otokogoroshi for a 2.9 count. As he went for a second however, Jaguar countered again, before blasting Okazaki with a rapid series of kicks. As Okazaki sat up, Jaguar BLASTED him between the shoulder blades, before racing off the ropes and planting his boot firmly into the challenger's chest! Jaguar would then connect with a Fisherman Buster, giving him a two count. Next, he tried to lift Okazaki up for the Spiral Bomb, only for the challenger to resist. Jaguar finally subdued Okazaki with a nasty savate kick to the body, allowing him to lift the challenger up, before planting him firmly into the canvas with the Spiral Bomb, only for Okazaki to kick out at 2.8! With Okazaki laid out, Jaguar climbed to the top rope, before dropping all of his body weight across Okazaki's body with the JAGUAR SPECIAL! Jaguar quickly made the cover, before scoring the three count to secure his first title defense!
After the match, Jaguar said that he would continue to break down the first generation wall, leading to him nominating NOBUSAN as his next opponent. Nobusan appeared to accept Jaguar's invitation. Nobusan offered his hand in respect. Jaguar however slapped it away, causing Nobusan to punt Jaguar between the legs, before YANKING OFF HIS MASK! The fans booed vociferously as Nobusan continued to assault the fallen champion. Kotaro Ota and Fumihiko Shirai finally made the save, chasing Nobusan off...
- The next match saw Kazuma Fujita's first match in FURY as a contracted wrestler of Defiance, as he and Keiji Takano made their V1 defenses of the F-MAX Tag Team titles against Hiroaki Nakata and Tetsuhisa NAKAI. It was a volatile match from the start, as NAKAI attacked Fujita as soon as the bout could begin. NAKAI dragged Fujita to the outside, and made use of the near by security railing. In the ring, Nakata and Takano officially started the match off with an exchange of kicks, leading to Takano taking control with a judo throw to the mat. From there, Takano tried to wear down the WWA National Heavyweight Champion with a modified wristlock. Nakata however was able to get his to his feet, where he escaped Takano's clutches, before throwing him to the mat with one of his own. On the outside, Fujita finally mounted a comeback against the extremely hostile NAKAI, as Fujita lit his chest up with blistering knife-edge chops. Fujita eventually returned to save Takano in the ring, allowing the champions to deal with double team damage on Nakata. The champions made frequent tags back and forth for the next couple of minutes. Fujita went for the first pin attempt of the match after catching Nakata with a nasty Backdrop, only for Nakata to kick out after two. However, as Fujita tried to follow with another, Nakata fought back with downward elbows. After breaking free of Fujita's clutches, Nakata landed a precise Abisegiri, allowing him to make the tag out to NAKAI, who unleashed a flurry of jabs and chops onto Fujita in the corner. Fujita tried to fight back with a wild right hand, only for NAKAI to duck, and catch Fujita with a HALF NELSON SUPLEX! NAKAI was quick to go for the cover, only for Takano to make the save. As the match progressed, the challengers continued to isolate Fujita on their side of the ring, with frequent tags being made. However, things quickly chained after a misfired lariat from NAKAI ended up catching Nakata instead of Fujita. The miscommunication allowed Fujita to tag out to Takano, who hit NAKAI immediately with a release German Suplex. As NAKAI retreated into the corner, Takano followed with a jumping knee, ONLY FOR NAKAI TO CATCH IT! NAKAI displayed his incredible strength by carrying Takano across the ring, before dumping him into the opposite corner. From there, NAKAI unleashed with a flurry of knife-edge chops, before a flurry of short lariats! NAKAI followed through with a Vertical Suplex, before delivering a HARD running kick between Takano's shoulder blades. NAKAI continued on offense for the next few minutes,. However, after throwing Takano into the ropes, NAKAI ducked for a shoulder throw, allowing Takano to latch onto his neck with the Takano Lock A! However, Takano couldn't follow through with the back roll, allowing NAKAI to lift Takano up, before shrugging him off into his corner once again. There, he tagged back out to Fujita. As he stepped into the ring, he and NAKAI stood face-to-face, Even though the words being exchanged were inaudible, it was clear they were heated. NAKAI finally struck, BLASTING Fujita across the face with a right handed slap! Fujita responded with a slap of his own, prompting NAKAI to retaliate with a CLOSED-FISTED PUNCH TO THE JAW! Fujita staggered into the corner as Referee Edd Sasaki jumped in to reprimand NAKAI for his foul. NAKAI however refused to listen, and CONTINUED PUNCHING FUJITA IN THE CORNER! Sasaki jumped in once again, ONLY FOR NAKAI TO THROW HIM ACROSS THE RING! Finally, NAKAI's own partner, Hiroaki Nakata jumped in to try and restrain NAKAI, only for NAKAI to shove him back as well! The momentary break allowed Fujita to come back, BLASTING NAKAI WITH A CLOSED-FISTED SHOT OF HIS OWN! Having enough, a very groggy Edd Sasaki finally called for the bell, ruling the match a NO CONTEST!
The fans booed the result vociferously afterwards, with most of the heat being directed towards NAKAI. The ring filled with wrestlers and staffers in an attempt to keep Fujita and NAKAI separated. NAKAI eventually left the ring, leaving the two tag champs, along with Hiroaki Nakata. Fujita spoke on the microphone, calling NAKAI a “stubborn brat.” He said that he sympathized with NAKAI's feelings, but said that for now, he had to walk his own path in the United States. He apologized to the crowd for the unsatisfactory, and said he felt that result had tarnished the credibility of the F-MAX Tag Team titles. Fujita then walked over to his partner, Keiji Takano. The two exchanged inaudible words for a moment before reaching some sort of agreement... Fujita then shocked the fans, declaring that he and Takano were VACATING THE TITLES. Fujita and Takano both presented their F-MAX Tag Team titles to new President Eizo Hayakawa. President Hayakawa while hesitant, accepted both belts. Fujita thanked the fans, and promised to proudly represent Japan while wrestling for Defiance in the United States...
- Up next was the semi final, “THE VERDICT” as it has become known, as the four predominant factions within FURY battled it out, with one faction being ultimately forced to disband. Before the match, Eizo Hayakawa explained the rules. A wrestler from each side will start in the match. When a wrestler scores a pinfall or submission, his team is eliminated from the match. The final team pinned/submitted will be forced to disband.
All four groups entered together, trying to show their solidarity. The match kicked off with Etsuya Kawachi of NEW FORCE, Shigeru Iwasaki of REAL-ONE, Seiji Sasaki of Ooinaru Waza, and RYUJI of UPRISER'Z. The action was fast and fluid early on, with the smaller wrestlers taking the stage. The heavy guns were brought in next after all four tagged out to their respective corners, bringing in Akira Takayoshi for NEW FORCE, Jun Kobayashi for REAL-ONE, Otsuo Kayusa for Ooinaru Waza, and Daisuke Iwata for UPRISER'Z. The three decided to focus their efforts on Daisuke Iwata early on, with Iwata making constant attempts to escape the ring. There was some miscommunication however after Akira hit Kayusa with a lariat aimed for Iwata. This caused a shoving match between both NEW FORCE and Ooinaru Waza to break out. This allowed UPRISER'Z to get the advantage over Jun Kobayashi. Behind the referee's back, Iwata attempted to use brass knuckles on Kobayashi, only to be thwarted by his former tag team partner, Shigeru Iwasaki. The match continued for the next few minutes, until an all-out riot erupted between all four factions, with all 16 wrestlers fighting all over ringside. In the ring however was REAL-ONE's Jun Kobayashi and UPRISER'Z's Manabe Tsuji. Tsuji shined early on during the exchange, showing off ferocious fire and intensity. This all came to a crashing halt after Kobayashi escaped Tsuji's Guts Coaster attempt, before countering with the Soba Driver! Jun made the cover, only for RYUJI to make the save at 2.9. After disposing of RYUJI, Kobayashi followed with a brutal Splash Mountain, pinning Tsuji's shoulders to the mat for the three count, eliminating REAL-ONE from the match!
The match continued with three units left. From here, the focus returned to the interaction between NEW FORCE and Ooinaru Waza, with UPRISER'Z simply trying to buy their time, waiting for the perfect opportunity. Kamon had some fluid exchanges with Seiji Sasaki, and even managed to take both Kamon and Kawachi down with a combination armdrag/headscissors, before sending both to the outside. There, Sasaki surprised everyone by pulling out a Bermuda Triangle onto both! The action returned to the ring eventually, with Naoyuki Watanabe of NEW FORCE, Chikao Kessin of Ooinaru Waza, and YAKUTA of UPRISER'Z facing off. YAKUTA attempted to strike a treaty with both sides, with no success, which also eventually caused both wrestlers to target YAKUTA. Moments later, Watanabe and Kessin both tagged out, bringing in Akira Takayoshi and Norihiro Akashi. They continued their team work over YAKUTA, until another errant miscommunication saw Akashi striking Akira with an elbow. This led to a furious exchange of blows back and forth. Akashi appeared to have the advantage after BLASTING Akira with a spinning kesagiri chop. However, as he went for a second, Akira ducked, before connecting with a German Suplex hold for two. Akira then tried for the Tiger Suplex, only for Akashi to escape, before connecting with another kesagiri chop, causing Akira to drop down to a knee. There, Akashi followed through, ROCKING him with the Cyclone Conbi! Akashi went for the cover, only for Akira to kick out. Akashi continued to pull out the big guns, after connecting with a beautiful Moonsault press, dropping all 112kg across Akira's body. Even then, Hidaka Kamon managed to make the save at 2.5. Akashi then tried to finish Akira with a lariat, only for Akira to absorb the shot, and fire back with a lariat of his own! The exchange continued for about a minute, until Akashi leveled Akira with one last lariat, knocking Akira flat on his back. Rather than go for the cover, Akashi pulled Akira to his feet, before lifting him high into the air, and SPIKING him with the Ignition Crash! Akashi managed to score the big fall over his senior, eliminating Ooinaru Waza from dismissal!
We finally came down to NEW FORCE and UPRISER'Z. Both sides minus Akira went at it for the final fall of the match. UPRISER'Z very much fought their own type of match, as they dragged Watanabe, Kawachi, and Kamon to the outside for a wild brawl. Akira eventually recovered, and helped to even the sides back up. Back in the ring, Akira and Naoyuki paired off against OSAKA WILD STYLE, RYUJI and Manabe Tsuji. WILD STYLE shined against the former F-MAX Tag Team Champions, showing their growth. “TakaNabe” came back however, hitting both RYUJI and Tsuji with stereo lariats. The match broke down with all eight wrestlers getting involved, one at a time. The closing moments saw Daisuke Iwata facing off against Naoyuki Watanabe in a fierce technical exchange. Iwata however soon resorted to his heel tactics after trapping Watanabe in the Cobra Clutch, while grabbing the top rope for added leverage. Referee Akinori Fuwa eventually saw the flagrant rule violation, before kicking Iwata's hand away, forcing him to break the hold! As Iwata argued with Fuwa, Watanabe made the tag out to Akira Takayoshi, who immediately hooked both of Iwata's arms for a Tiger Suplex hold, ONLY FOR IWATA TO KICK OUT AT 2.8! Akira wasted little time, aiming to finish Iwata, and by proxy, UPRISER'Z, with a lariat. Iwata however ducked, before locking Akira's arms for a Backslide attempt... Akira however resisted, forcing Iwata to BLAST Akira between the legs with a back groin kick, leading to the Backslide, ONLY FOR AKIRA TO KICK OUT AT 2.999! The hometown Fukuoka fans ROARED with cheers as Akira kicked out. Iwata then scaled the top rope, before coming off with a diving knee drop... Akira however managed to move away, sending Iwata crashing and burning! As Iwata climbed to his feet, Akira unleashed a vicious lariat, sending Iwata back to the mat. Akira went for the cover, only for YAKUTA to make the diving save at 2.8! After disposing of YAKUTA, Akira hooked Iwata's arms once again, before folding him in half with a second Tiger Suplex hold! The fans ROARED as Fuwa appeared to count the three, only to be sorely disappointed to find out that Iwata escaped at 2.999! Among deafening chants of “A-KI-RA,” Akira pulled Iwata to his feet once again, before ROCKING him with three consecutive Enzuigiris! Finally, Akira locked Iwata in a Cobra Clutch, before hooking Iwata's leg, as he connected with his limit breaking “POSEIDON!” The Fukuoka crowd ROARED as Akira held onto the cradle for the pin, allowing Akinori Fuwa to MAKE THE THREE COUNT, ENDING THE ALMOST THREE YEAR TRIANNY OF UPRISER'Z!!!
Akira celebrated with the rest of NEW FORCE after the match, while the members of the now disbanded UPRISER'Z recovered outside of the ring. Akira said that tonight was among one of the greatest nights of his career, as he was able to help put an end to UPRISER'Z in front of his hometown. However, to the surprise of everyone, the former UPRISER'Z didn't appear to be too broken up over their dismissal. Iwata eventually took the mic, and said that while UPRISER'Z may now be officially dead, their ideals died long ago...
- We finally came to the nights main event, as Naoki Fukuda made his very first defense of the F-MAX Heavyweight title against his former best friend and partner, TAKU. Even before the bout started, there was an odd feeling as TAKU was introduced as a member of Mushozoku (Independent) rather than UPRISER'Z. Despite this, TAKU was still seconded by all of the former UPRISER'Z members. As the gong sounded, the “big match” feeling set over the crowd. Champion and challenger met in the center of the ring, before exchanging heated words, leading to a shoving match between the two. TAKU finally struck first, throwing a heavy forearm to the jaw of the champion. This prompted Fukuda to fire back with a forearm of his own. The exchange continued back and forth for nearly three minutes, with neither man giving an inch. Growing frustrated, TAKU struck with a quick gouge of Fukuda's eyes, followed by a hard bodyslam onto the mat. After a flurry of stomps, TAKU pulled Fukuda up before hastily throwing him into the corner where he unleashed a flurry of open-handed slaps to the chest of the champion. Fukuda fought back by grabbing TAKU and pulling him into the turnbuckle, before throwing a flurry of right-left elbows! Finally, Fukuda whipped TAKU across the ring, before CRUSHING him with a jumping elbow in the corner! TAKU quickly escaped to the outside for a breather. However, the champion wasn't about to let him recover, as he came racing through he ropes, hitting TAKU with an ELBOW SUICIDA! Both wrestlers took a harsh landing as a result. Fukuda eventually got to his feet first, before pulling TAKU up to roll him into the ring. TAKU countered however, sending the champion crashing HEAD FIRST into the steel ring post! As Fukuda got back to his feet, the near by ringside fans were horrified as BLOOD appeared to be STREAMING down the champion's face! This pleased TAKU, who immediately began attacking the wound with short closed-fisted punches, before finally throwing the champion back into the ring. TAKU went for the first cover of the match, only for Fukuda to kick out after two! TAKU continued to go after Fukuda's wound with gouges and stomps. In the corner, TAKU continued with stomps and kicks, before whipping Fukuda into the opposite corner. However, as TAKU followed in, the champion managed to raise his foot, catching the challenger under the chin! As TAKU stumbled back, Fukuda rode his rush of adrenaline by coming off the ropes, and BLASTING TAKU WITH A BRUTAL LARIAT! TAKU scrambled to his feet, only to walk into a SECOND LARIAT! Fukuda followed with the cover, only for TAKU to power out shortly after two... After a few more elbow shots, Fukuda hoisted TAKU up, before flattening him down with a Backdrop, leading to another two-count pin attempt. The match progressed with Fukuda on offense for the next couple of minutes, until TAKU managed to evade Fukuda's attack, and counter with a Spear! TAKU followed, crushing Fukuda's body into the mat with the Jackhammer, only for Fukuda to kick out after two! For the next few moments, TAKU tried to wear the champion down with a modified facelock. The Fukuoka fans began to rally behind the champion, prompting him to find a way back to his feet, before forcing TAKU to transition to a simple headlock. There, Fukuda sent TAKU off into the ropes, only to be caught with a lightning fast Diving Lariat! TAKU continued on offense past the 10:00 mark of the match. However, the champion put up some resistance as TAKU went for a Superplex. Fukuda managed to knock TAKU off with a short flurry of elbows. As TAKU got to his feet, Fukuda jumped, CRACKING the challenger with a diving elbow shot to the jaw! Fukuda scrambled to make the cover, only for TAKU to kick out shortly after two. TAKU eventually retreated to the outside once again, prompting Fukuda to give chase. However, as Fukuda pursued TAKU around the corner, he was blindsided by Manabe Tsuji, who knocked Fukuda to the ground with a lariat! The crowd ERUPTED in vociferous boos as the remnants of the former UPRISER'Z put the boots to the champion. However, to the surprise of the fans, TAKU began PULLING THEM OFF OF FUKUDA! TAKU barked some inaudible words to his former UPRISER'Z brethren before rolling Fukuda back into the ring. As the 15:00 mark approached, TAKU appeared to be in solid control of the match. However, no matter what he did, he could not keep the champion down for longer than two. Finally, TAKU pulled out his big guns after SPIKING Fukuda tailbone first into the mat with an Atomic Whip. With the champion prone, TAKU came off the ropes, aiming to finish Fukuda with the Chojin Bomber... The resilient champion however countered, CRADLING TAKU WITH A CRUCIFIX HOLD FOR A 2.5 COUNT! Both men scrambled to their feet, with TAKU greeting Fukuda with a HARD elbow to the jaw. While groggy, Fukuda fought back with one of his own. Soon, the adrenaline kicked in for both men, as they traded furious elbows back and forth. The champion finally began to gain the advantage over the challenger, unleashing elbow after elbow, sending TAKU stumbling back into the corner. There, Fukuda landed another running elbow, before hooking TAKU's body and connecting with the MASTODON SLAM! Fukuda went for the cover, only for TAKU to defiantly kick out at ONE! Fukuda dragged the challenger up to his feet, before hoisting him overhead for the Mastodon Buster... However, Daisuke Iwata jumped onto the apron, distracting Referee Edd Sasaki! With the referee's back turned, this allowed Kyoto Okazaki to interfere, catching Fukuda from behind with a low blow! However, as Fukuda dropped TAKU, TAKU came RUSHING AT IWATA, KNOCKING HIM OFF THE APRON WITH A FOREARM! TAKU then turned his attention to Okazaki, who immediately began to beg off just long enough for Fukuda to recover, as he came off the ropes, BLASTING OKAZAKI WITH A LARIAT! As Okazaki stumbled to his feet, Fukuda and TAKU both locked eyes, before racing off opposite ends of the ring and CRUSHING Okazaki with a combination Enzuilariat/Spear, showcasing one of their famous “Chojin Powers” double team attacks! The fans ROARED with cheers as TAKU and Fukuda faced off in the center of the ring. Finally, to break the tension, Fukuda extended his hand outward to his former partner! TAKU appeared to consider the gesture, ONLY TO ROLL FUKUDA UP WITH A SMALL PACKAGE HOLD! Thankfully for the champion, he BARELY managed to escape at the count of 2.9, coming within nine-tenths of a fraction from becoming the F-MAX Unified Heavyweight Champion! Both men scrambled to their feet, this time with Fukuda ducking TAKU's lariat, and countering with the Mastodon Pump! With TAKU laying prone, the champion climbed to the top rope, before CRUSHING TAKU WITH THE MASTODON SPLASH! The fans sensed the end as Fukuda hooked the leg... ONLY FOR TAKU TO KICK OUT BEFORE ONE! TAKU stumbled to his feet as Fukuda climbed up once again, before connecting with a MASTODON CROSSBODY! Rather than go for the pin, Fukuda climbed once again, before following through with a SECOND MASTODON SPLASH! Fukuda hooked TAKU's leg tight as Referee Edd Sasaki COUNTED THE THREE!!!
The Fukuoka fans ROARED with cheers for the defending champion, as chants of “NA-O-KI” rang through out the Fukuoka International Center. All of REAL-ONE hit the ring immediately to tend to the bloody champion, while the members of the former UPRISER'Z slithered their way in. At first, it appeared that they too were tending to TAKU. However, it was imminently clear that was not their intention, as they began to stomp away at the fallen body of TAKU! TAKU tried fighting back in the corner, but was quickly overwhelmed by the numbers. However, the fans ROARED with cheers as Fukuda, along with the other members of REAL-ONE came to his former best friends aid! After a quick brawl, REAL-ONE managed to send the former UPRISER'Z packing up the entrance way... Once the situation calmed down, Fukuda was handed back his F-MAX Unified Heavyweight title. He spoke on the microphone afterwards, saying that the paradigm of FURY had changed once again tonight, with the dismissal of UPRISER'Z. He praised his former friend TAKU, saying that he was even stronger than their previous singles matches. He then attempted to appeal to TAKU's sentimental side, talking about how great it felt to partner up with TAKU tonight, even if for a brief moment. He told TAKU bluntly that UPRISER'Z were no more, and than TAKU needed to move on. Fukuda then finally said what everyone in the building expected, OFFERING TAKU A POSITION IN REAL-ONE! The fans responded with deafening chants of “TA-KU,” prompting the usually stoic TAKU to break down into tears, while pounding the mat in frustration. He appeared to take a moment to himself as he buried his head between knees, before finally jumping to his feet and SHAKING FUKUDA'S HAND among unanimous cheers and applause! There was some comedy next, as Go Taniguchi took the microphone, and proceeded to address TAKU as “Kinniku-chan.” Go said that now the pieces were in place for the reformation of the “Greatest Tag Team in the History of Pro-Wrestling,” the “Baka Machineguns,” Hisai Tomagotchi and Kinniku Kamen! TAKU immediately dismissed the idea, much to the sorrow of Go. Never the less, Go vowed not to give up on his dream... Fukuda finally addressed the crowd to end the show, thanking them for their support. He said that with UPRISER'Z finally eradicated, FURY can now turn a new page in its history, and said that as the F-MAX Unified Heavyweight Champion, he would aim to show that FURY was the #1 Pro-Wrestling organization in not just Japan, but the world, before finally closing with the traditional “3! 2! 1! FURY!” call.
- The first match of the night saw Masato Osagawa, Mamoru Sekishima, and freelancer Ryuugo Nagashima score a victory over Masafuji Yoshida, Tetsujin, and NEW FORCE's Kazuki Sendo. The match had some good action early on between Osagawa and Yoshida, who traded power attacks. Nagashima and Tetsujin continued their rivalry as well, with both men taking cheap shots on the other.

The SPEED STARS came back however, before knocking all three to the outside, and connecting with three simultaneous tope suicidas! Later on, the SPEED STARS were able to show off their unique triple team attacks. Saigo would be the first to score a near fall after spiking Nobusan with a Brainbuster. However, Nobusan managed to tuck his knees in response to Saigo's Moonsault press.

Nobusan nearly stole the match after catching one of Ota's thrust kicks, before punting him in the groin! Thankfully for Ota, he barely had the strength to kick out. Nobusan tried to end it with a Brainbuster. Ota however countered, before landing a fierce savate kick to the body. As he set up for the Violent Spark, Nobusan pushed Ota chest first into the corner... With Ota stumbling back, Nobusan jumped onto Ota's shoulders, before SPIKING HIM HEAD FIRST WITH A REVERSE FRANKENSTEINER! Rather than go for the cover, Nobusan climbed to the top, before CRUSHING Ota with a Firebird Splash, giving him the three count victory!
- Next was the first defense of Jet Jaguar's F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight title, as he faced UPRISER'Z member Kyoto Okazaki, the man who co-holds the record for most title defenses as F-MAX Jr. Heavyweight champion. To no surprise, Okazaki attacked Jaguar before the bell, before dragging him to the outside. Okazaki had no disregard for the rules, as he attacked Jaguar with just about every object he could find. Just as it appeared Referee Edd Sasaki was about to DQ him, Okazaki relented, and pulled Jaguar back into the ring. Jaguar fought back when he could, only to be cut off by Okazaki, who appeared to take great pleasure in punishing the champion. Jaguar finally managed to mount a serious comeback after ducking Okazaki's Kenka Kick, before answering with a jumping savate kick of his own. The final kick sent Okazaki through the middle rope to the outside, allowing Jet Jaguar to hit him with a vicious tope suicida! Back in the ring, Jaguar used his lucha skills to wear down Okazaki with various cradles and submissions. Okazaki managed to counter Jaguar's Victory roll attempt for a two count of his own. The two went back and forth with elbows and kicks, with Okazaki ultimately connecting with the Super Redhawk. Okazaki would go on to score his first serious near fall after crushing Jaguar with the Moonsault press. He aimed to finish the champion with the Otokogoroshi, only to be countered, as Jaguar hooked Okazaki with a backslide for a flash near fall! As both men charged to their feet, Okazaki cut Jaguar off, BLASTING him with the Perfect Black! He would eventually connect with the Otokogoroshi for a 2.9 count. As he went for a second however, Jaguar countered again, before blasting Okazaki with a rapid series of kicks. As Okazaki sat up, Jaguar BLASTED him between the shoulder blades, before racing off the ropes and planting his boot firmly into the challenger's chest! Jaguar would then connect with a Fisherman Buster, giving him a two count. Next, he tried to lift Okazaki up for the Spiral Bomb, only for the challenger to resist. Jaguar finally subdued Okazaki with a nasty savate kick to the body, allowing him to lift the challenger up, before planting him firmly into the canvas with the Spiral Bomb, only for Okazaki to kick out at 2.8! With Okazaki laid out, Jaguar climbed to the top rope, before dropping all of his body weight across Okazaki's body with the JAGUAR SPECIAL! Jaguar quickly made the cover, before scoring the three count to secure his first title defense!
After the match, Jaguar said that he would continue to break down the first generation wall, leading to him nominating NOBUSAN as his next opponent. Nobusan appeared to accept Jaguar's invitation. Nobusan offered his hand in respect. Jaguar however slapped it away, causing Nobusan to punt Jaguar between the legs, before YANKING OFF HIS MASK! The fans booed vociferously as Nobusan continued to assault the fallen champion. Kotaro Ota and Fumihiko Shirai finally made the save, chasing Nobusan off...
- The next match saw Kazuma Fujita's first match in FURY as a contracted wrestler of Defiance, as he and Keiji Takano made their V1 defenses of the F-MAX Tag Team titles against Hiroaki Nakata and Tetsuhisa NAKAI. It was a volatile match from the start, as NAKAI attacked Fujita as soon as the bout could begin. NAKAI dragged Fujita to the outside, and made use of the near by security railing. In the ring, Nakata and Takano officially started the match off with an exchange of kicks, leading to Takano taking control with a judo throw to the mat. From there, Takano tried to wear down the WWA National Heavyweight Champion with a modified wristlock. Nakata however was able to get his to his feet, where he escaped Takano's clutches, before throwing him to the mat with one of his own. On the outside, Fujita finally mounted a comeback against the extremely hostile NAKAI, as Fujita lit his chest up with blistering knife-edge chops. Fujita eventually returned to save Takano in the ring, allowing the champions to deal with double team damage on Nakata. The champions made frequent tags back and forth for the next couple of minutes. Fujita went for the first pin attempt of the match after catching Nakata with a nasty Backdrop, only for Nakata to kick out after two. However, as Fujita tried to follow with another, Nakata fought back with downward elbows. After breaking free of Fujita's clutches, Nakata landed a precise Abisegiri, allowing him to make the tag out to NAKAI, who unleashed a flurry of jabs and chops onto Fujita in the corner. Fujita tried to fight back with a wild right hand, only for NAKAI to duck, and catch Fujita with a HALF NELSON SUPLEX! NAKAI was quick to go for the cover, only for Takano to make the save. As the match progressed, the challengers continued to isolate Fujita on their side of the ring, with frequent tags being made. However, things quickly chained after a misfired lariat from NAKAI ended up catching Nakata instead of Fujita. The miscommunication allowed Fujita to tag out to Takano, who hit NAKAI immediately with a release German Suplex. As NAKAI retreated into the corner, Takano followed with a jumping knee, ONLY FOR NAKAI TO CATCH IT! NAKAI displayed his incredible strength by carrying Takano across the ring, before dumping him into the opposite corner. From there, NAKAI unleashed with a flurry of knife-edge chops, before a flurry of short lariats! NAKAI followed through with a Vertical Suplex, before delivering a HARD running kick between Takano's shoulder blades. NAKAI continued on offense for the next few minutes,. However, after throwing Takano into the ropes, NAKAI ducked for a shoulder throw, allowing Takano to latch onto his neck with the Takano Lock A! However, Takano couldn't follow through with the back roll, allowing NAKAI to lift Takano up, before shrugging him off into his corner once again. There, he tagged back out to Fujita. As he stepped into the ring, he and NAKAI stood face-to-face, Even though the words being exchanged were inaudible, it was clear they were heated. NAKAI finally struck, BLASTING Fujita across the face with a right handed slap! Fujita responded with a slap of his own, prompting NAKAI to retaliate with a CLOSED-FISTED PUNCH TO THE JAW! Fujita staggered into the corner as Referee Edd Sasaki jumped in to reprimand NAKAI for his foul. NAKAI however refused to listen, and CONTINUED PUNCHING FUJITA IN THE CORNER! Sasaki jumped in once again, ONLY FOR NAKAI TO THROW HIM ACROSS THE RING! Finally, NAKAI's own partner, Hiroaki Nakata jumped in to try and restrain NAKAI, only for NAKAI to shove him back as well! The momentary break allowed Fujita to come back, BLASTING NAKAI WITH A CLOSED-FISTED SHOT OF HIS OWN! Having enough, a very groggy Edd Sasaki finally called for the bell, ruling the match a NO CONTEST!
The fans booed the result vociferously afterwards, with most of the heat being directed towards NAKAI. The ring filled with wrestlers and staffers in an attempt to keep Fujita and NAKAI separated. NAKAI eventually left the ring, leaving the two tag champs, along with Hiroaki Nakata. Fujita spoke on the microphone, calling NAKAI a “stubborn brat.” He said that he sympathized with NAKAI's feelings, but said that for now, he had to walk his own path in the United States. He apologized to the crowd for the unsatisfactory, and said he felt that result had tarnished the credibility of the F-MAX Tag Team titles. Fujita then walked over to his partner, Keiji Takano. The two exchanged inaudible words for a moment before reaching some sort of agreement... Fujita then shocked the fans, declaring that he and Takano were VACATING THE TITLES. Fujita and Takano both presented their F-MAX Tag Team titles to new President Eizo Hayakawa. President Hayakawa while hesitant, accepted both belts. Fujita thanked the fans, and promised to proudly represent Japan while wrestling for Defiance in the United States...
- Up next was the semi final, “THE VERDICT” as it has become known, as the four predominant factions within FURY battled it out, with one faction being ultimately forced to disband. Before the match, Eizo Hayakawa explained the rules. A wrestler from each side will start in the match. When a wrestler scores a pinfall or submission, his team is eliminated from the match. The final team pinned/submitted will be forced to disband.
All four groups entered together, trying to show their solidarity. The match kicked off with Etsuya Kawachi of NEW FORCE, Shigeru Iwasaki of REAL-ONE, Seiji Sasaki of Ooinaru Waza, and RYUJI of UPRISER'Z. The action was fast and fluid early on, with the smaller wrestlers taking the stage. The heavy guns were brought in next after all four tagged out to their respective corners, bringing in Akira Takayoshi for NEW FORCE, Jun Kobayashi for REAL-ONE, Otsuo Kayusa for Ooinaru Waza, and Daisuke Iwata for UPRISER'Z. The three decided to focus their efforts on Daisuke Iwata early on, with Iwata making constant attempts to escape the ring. There was some miscommunication however after Akira hit Kayusa with a lariat aimed for Iwata. This caused a shoving match between both NEW FORCE and Ooinaru Waza to break out. This allowed UPRISER'Z to get the advantage over Jun Kobayashi. Behind the referee's back, Iwata attempted to use brass knuckles on Kobayashi, only to be thwarted by his former tag team partner, Shigeru Iwasaki. The match continued for the next few minutes, until an all-out riot erupted between all four factions, with all 16 wrestlers fighting all over ringside. In the ring however was REAL-ONE's Jun Kobayashi and UPRISER'Z's Manabe Tsuji. Tsuji shined early on during the exchange, showing off ferocious fire and intensity. This all came to a crashing halt after Kobayashi escaped Tsuji's Guts Coaster attempt, before countering with the Soba Driver! Jun made the cover, only for RYUJI to make the save at 2.9. After disposing of RYUJI, Kobayashi followed with a brutal Splash Mountain, pinning Tsuji's shoulders to the mat for the three count, eliminating REAL-ONE from the match!
The match continued with three units left. From here, the focus returned to the interaction between NEW FORCE and Ooinaru Waza, with UPRISER'Z simply trying to buy their time, waiting for the perfect opportunity. Kamon had some fluid exchanges with Seiji Sasaki, and even managed to take both Kamon and Kawachi down with a combination armdrag/headscissors, before sending both to the outside. There, Sasaki surprised everyone by pulling out a Bermuda Triangle onto both! The action returned to the ring eventually, with Naoyuki Watanabe of NEW FORCE, Chikao Kessin of Ooinaru Waza, and YAKUTA of UPRISER'Z facing off. YAKUTA attempted to strike a treaty with both sides, with no success, which also eventually caused both wrestlers to target YAKUTA. Moments later, Watanabe and Kessin both tagged out, bringing in Akira Takayoshi and Norihiro Akashi. They continued their team work over YAKUTA, until another errant miscommunication saw Akashi striking Akira with an elbow. This led to a furious exchange of blows back and forth. Akashi appeared to have the advantage after BLASTING Akira with a spinning kesagiri chop. However, as he went for a second, Akira ducked, before connecting with a German Suplex hold for two. Akira then tried for the Tiger Suplex, only for Akashi to escape, before connecting with another kesagiri chop, causing Akira to drop down to a knee. There, Akashi followed through, ROCKING him with the Cyclone Conbi! Akashi went for the cover, only for Akira to kick out. Akashi continued to pull out the big guns, after connecting with a beautiful Moonsault press, dropping all 112kg across Akira's body. Even then, Hidaka Kamon managed to make the save at 2.5. Akashi then tried to finish Akira with a lariat, only for Akira to absorb the shot, and fire back with a lariat of his own! The exchange continued for about a minute, until Akashi leveled Akira with one last lariat, knocking Akira flat on his back. Rather than go for the cover, Akashi pulled Akira to his feet, before lifting him high into the air, and SPIKING him with the Ignition Crash! Akashi managed to score the big fall over his senior, eliminating Ooinaru Waza from dismissal!
We finally came down to NEW FORCE and UPRISER'Z. Both sides minus Akira went at it for the final fall of the match. UPRISER'Z very much fought their own type of match, as they dragged Watanabe, Kawachi, and Kamon to the outside for a wild brawl. Akira eventually recovered, and helped to even the sides back up. Back in the ring, Akira and Naoyuki paired off against OSAKA WILD STYLE, RYUJI and Manabe Tsuji. WILD STYLE shined against the former F-MAX Tag Team Champions, showing their growth. “TakaNabe” came back however, hitting both RYUJI and Tsuji with stereo lariats. The match broke down with all eight wrestlers getting involved, one at a time. The closing moments saw Daisuke Iwata facing off against Naoyuki Watanabe in a fierce technical exchange. Iwata however soon resorted to his heel tactics after trapping Watanabe in the Cobra Clutch, while grabbing the top rope for added leverage. Referee Akinori Fuwa eventually saw the flagrant rule violation, before kicking Iwata's hand away, forcing him to break the hold! As Iwata argued with Fuwa, Watanabe made the tag out to Akira Takayoshi, who immediately hooked both of Iwata's arms for a Tiger Suplex hold, ONLY FOR IWATA TO KICK OUT AT 2.8! Akira wasted little time, aiming to finish Iwata, and by proxy, UPRISER'Z, with a lariat. Iwata however ducked, before locking Akira's arms for a Backslide attempt... Akira however resisted, forcing Iwata to BLAST Akira between the legs with a back groin kick, leading to the Backslide, ONLY FOR AKIRA TO KICK OUT AT 2.999! The hometown Fukuoka fans ROARED with cheers as Akira kicked out. Iwata then scaled the top rope, before coming off with a diving knee drop... Akira however managed to move away, sending Iwata crashing and burning! As Iwata climbed to his feet, Akira unleashed a vicious lariat, sending Iwata back to the mat. Akira went for the cover, only for YAKUTA to make the diving save at 2.8! After disposing of YAKUTA, Akira hooked Iwata's arms once again, before folding him in half with a second Tiger Suplex hold! The fans ROARED as Fuwa appeared to count the three, only to be sorely disappointed to find out that Iwata escaped at 2.999! Among deafening chants of “A-KI-RA,” Akira pulled Iwata to his feet once again, before ROCKING him with three consecutive Enzuigiris! Finally, Akira locked Iwata in a Cobra Clutch, before hooking Iwata's leg, as he connected with his limit breaking “POSEIDON!” The Fukuoka crowd ROARED as Akira held onto the cradle for the pin, allowing Akinori Fuwa to MAKE THE THREE COUNT, ENDING THE ALMOST THREE YEAR TRIANNY OF UPRISER'Z!!!
Akira celebrated with the rest of NEW FORCE after the match, while the members of the now disbanded UPRISER'Z recovered outside of the ring. Akira said that tonight was among one of the greatest nights of his career, as he was able to help put an end to UPRISER'Z in front of his hometown. However, to the surprise of everyone, the former UPRISER'Z didn't appear to be too broken up over their dismissal. Iwata eventually took the mic, and said that while UPRISER'Z may now be officially dead, their ideals died long ago...
- We finally came to the nights main event, as Naoki Fukuda made his very first defense of the F-MAX Heavyweight title against his former best friend and partner, TAKU. Even before the bout started, there was an odd feeling as TAKU was introduced as a member of Mushozoku (Independent) rather than UPRISER'Z. Despite this, TAKU was still seconded by all of the former UPRISER'Z members. As the gong sounded, the “big match” feeling set over the crowd. Champion and challenger met in the center of the ring, before exchanging heated words, leading to a shoving match between the two. TAKU finally struck first, throwing a heavy forearm to the jaw of the champion. This prompted Fukuda to fire back with a forearm of his own. The exchange continued back and forth for nearly three minutes, with neither man giving an inch. Growing frustrated, TAKU struck with a quick gouge of Fukuda's eyes, followed by a hard bodyslam onto the mat. After a flurry of stomps, TAKU pulled Fukuda up before hastily throwing him into the corner where he unleashed a flurry of open-handed slaps to the chest of the champion. Fukuda fought back by grabbing TAKU and pulling him into the turnbuckle, before throwing a flurry of right-left elbows! Finally, Fukuda whipped TAKU across the ring, before CRUSHING him with a jumping elbow in the corner! TAKU quickly escaped to the outside for a breather. However, the champion wasn't about to let him recover, as he came racing through he ropes, hitting TAKU with an ELBOW SUICIDA! Both wrestlers took a harsh landing as a result. Fukuda eventually got to his feet first, before pulling TAKU up to roll him into the ring. TAKU countered however, sending the champion crashing HEAD FIRST into the steel ring post! As Fukuda got back to his feet, the near by ringside fans were horrified as BLOOD appeared to be STREAMING down the champion's face! This pleased TAKU, who immediately began attacking the wound with short closed-fisted punches, before finally throwing the champion back into the ring. TAKU went for the first cover of the match, only for Fukuda to kick out after two! TAKU continued to go after Fukuda's wound with gouges and stomps. In the corner, TAKU continued with stomps and kicks, before whipping Fukuda into the opposite corner. However, as TAKU followed in, the champion managed to raise his foot, catching the challenger under the chin! As TAKU stumbled back, Fukuda rode his rush of adrenaline by coming off the ropes, and BLASTING TAKU WITH A BRUTAL LARIAT! TAKU scrambled to his feet, only to walk into a SECOND LARIAT! Fukuda followed with the cover, only for TAKU to power out shortly after two... After a few more elbow shots, Fukuda hoisted TAKU up, before flattening him down with a Backdrop, leading to another two-count pin attempt. The match progressed with Fukuda on offense for the next couple of minutes, until TAKU managed to evade Fukuda's attack, and counter with a Spear! TAKU followed, crushing Fukuda's body into the mat with the Jackhammer, only for Fukuda to kick out after two! For the next few moments, TAKU tried to wear the champion down with a modified facelock. The Fukuoka fans began to rally behind the champion, prompting him to find a way back to his feet, before forcing TAKU to transition to a simple headlock. There, Fukuda sent TAKU off into the ropes, only to be caught with a lightning fast Diving Lariat! TAKU continued on offense past the 10:00 mark of the match. However, the champion put up some resistance as TAKU went for a Superplex. Fukuda managed to knock TAKU off with a short flurry of elbows. As TAKU got to his feet, Fukuda jumped, CRACKING the challenger with a diving elbow shot to the jaw! Fukuda scrambled to make the cover, only for TAKU to kick out shortly after two. TAKU eventually retreated to the outside once again, prompting Fukuda to give chase. However, as Fukuda pursued TAKU around the corner, he was blindsided by Manabe Tsuji, who knocked Fukuda to the ground with a lariat! The crowd ERUPTED in vociferous boos as the remnants of the former UPRISER'Z put the boots to the champion. However, to the surprise of the fans, TAKU began PULLING THEM OFF OF FUKUDA! TAKU barked some inaudible words to his former UPRISER'Z brethren before rolling Fukuda back into the ring. As the 15:00 mark approached, TAKU appeared to be in solid control of the match. However, no matter what he did, he could not keep the champion down for longer than two. Finally, TAKU pulled out his big guns after SPIKING Fukuda tailbone first into the mat with an Atomic Whip. With the champion prone, TAKU came off the ropes, aiming to finish Fukuda with the Chojin Bomber... The resilient champion however countered, CRADLING TAKU WITH A CRUCIFIX HOLD FOR A 2.5 COUNT! Both men scrambled to their feet, with TAKU greeting Fukuda with a HARD elbow to the jaw. While groggy, Fukuda fought back with one of his own. Soon, the adrenaline kicked in for both men, as they traded furious elbows back and forth. The champion finally began to gain the advantage over the challenger, unleashing elbow after elbow, sending TAKU stumbling back into the corner. There, Fukuda landed another running elbow, before hooking TAKU's body and connecting with the MASTODON SLAM! Fukuda went for the cover, only for TAKU to defiantly kick out at ONE! Fukuda dragged the challenger up to his feet, before hoisting him overhead for the Mastodon Buster... However, Daisuke Iwata jumped onto the apron, distracting Referee Edd Sasaki! With the referee's back turned, this allowed Kyoto Okazaki to interfere, catching Fukuda from behind with a low blow! However, as Fukuda dropped TAKU, TAKU came RUSHING AT IWATA, KNOCKING HIM OFF THE APRON WITH A FOREARM! TAKU then turned his attention to Okazaki, who immediately began to beg off just long enough for Fukuda to recover, as he came off the ropes, BLASTING OKAZAKI WITH A LARIAT! As Okazaki stumbled to his feet, Fukuda and TAKU both locked eyes, before racing off opposite ends of the ring and CRUSHING Okazaki with a combination Enzuilariat/Spear, showcasing one of their famous “Chojin Powers” double team attacks! The fans ROARED with cheers as TAKU and Fukuda faced off in the center of the ring. Finally, to break the tension, Fukuda extended his hand outward to his former partner! TAKU appeared to consider the gesture, ONLY TO ROLL FUKUDA UP WITH A SMALL PACKAGE HOLD! Thankfully for the champion, he BARELY managed to escape at the count of 2.9, coming within nine-tenths of a fraction from becoming the F-MAX Unified Heavyweight Champion! Both men scrambled to their feet, this time with Fukuda ducking TAKU's lariat, and countering with the Mastodon Pump! With TAKU laying prone, the champion climbed to the top rope, before CRUSHING TAKU WITH THE MASTODON SPLASH! The fans sensed the end as Fukuda hooked the leg... ONLY FOR TAKU TO KICK OUT BEFORE ONE! TAKU stumbled to his feet as Fukuda climbed up once again, before connecting with a MASTODON CROSSBODY! Rather than go for the pin, Fukuda climbed once again, before following through with a SECOND MASTODON SPLASH! Fukuda hooked TAKU's leg tight as Referee Edd Sasaki COUNTED THE THREE!!!
The Fukuoka fans ROARED with cheers for the defending champion, as chants of “NA-O-KI” rang through out the Fukuoka International Center. All of REAL-ONE hit the ring immediately to tend to the bloody champion, while the members of the former UPRISER'Z slithered their way in. At first, it appeared that they too were tending to TAKU. However, it was imminently clear that was not their intention, as they began to stomp away at the fallen body of TAKU! TAKU tried fighting back in the corner, but was quickly overwhelmed by the numbers. However, the fans ROARED with cheers as Fukuda, along with the other members of REAL-ONE came to his former best friends aid! After a quick brawl, REAL-ONE managed to send the former UPRISER'Z packing up the entrance way... Once the situation calmed down, Fukuda was handed back his F-MAX Unified Heavyweight title. He spoke on the microphone afterwards, saying that the paradigm of FURY had changed once again tonight, with the dismissal of UPRISER'Z. He praised his former friend TAKU, saying that he was even stronger than their previous singles matches. He then attempted to appeal to TAKU's sentimental side, talking about how great it felt to partner up with TAKU tonight, even if for a brief moment. He told TAKU bluntly that UPRISER'Z were no more, and than TAKU needed to move on. Fukuda then finally said what everyone in the building expected, OFFERING TAKU A POSITION IN REAL-ONE! The fans responded with deafening chants of “TA-KU,” prompting the usually stoic TAKU to break down into tears, while pounding the mat in frustration. He appeared to take a moment to himself as he buried his head between knees, before finally jumping to his feet and SHAKING FUKUDA'S HAND among unanimous cheers and applause! There was some comedy next, as Go Taniguchi took the microphone, and proceeded to address TAKU as “Kinniku-chan.” Go said that now the pieces were in place for the reformation of the “Greatest Tag Team in the History of Pro-Wrestling,” the “Baka Machineguns,” Hisai Tomagotchi and Kinniku Kamen! TAKU immediately dismissed the idea, much to the sorrow of Go. Never the less, Go vowed not to give up on his dream... Fukuda finally addressed the crowd to end the show, thanking them for their support. He said that with UPRISER'Z finally eradicated, FURY can now turn a new page in its history, and said that as the F-MAX Unified Heavyweight Champion, he would aim to show that FURY was the #1 Pro-Wrestling organization in not just Japan, but the world, before finally closing with the traditional “3! 2! 1! FURY!” call.
