[Results] "BREAK BLOW Vol. 10," 4/16/2010 @ Shinjuku FACE

- Hiroaki Nakata held the tenth installment of his BREAK BLOW concept once again in Shinjuku FACE. Unfortunately, due to a massive thunder storm, many fans were deterred from the walk-up, causing the show to only draw a little over 200 fans... Regardless, Director Nakata addressed the fans before the show, thanking the fans that did show up for their support. He said that he would continue to expand BREAK BLOW into other areas, beginning next month for Vol. 11, which will be held from UMEDA HEAT BEAT in Osaka! However, the bigger announcement was the return of the “BREAK BLOW ~ Premium” concept in June, as Vol. 2 will be held from Korakuen Hall. As always, he thanked the fans for their support, and promised a great show...

- The first match of the night saw Tetsujin, out for revenge, against the man who choked him into unconsciousness last month, DYNAMITE's unpredictable villain, Niwatori Ogawa... Unfortunately for Tetsujin, the match went about the same as it did last month. Tetsujin put up a strong fight early on, using kesagiri chops to try and take Ogawa by surprise. Ogawa however quickly found his opponent, before SPIKING Tetsujin on the top of his head with a sickening judo throw, before locking in another choke sleeper! Tetsujin tried to fight the hold, only to slip into unconsciousness within seconds, forcing the referee to stop the match! After the match, Ogawa said that he and Iijima were not satisfied with their performance in the Sakura Tag Festival, and would continue to set their sights on FURY teams...

- FURY's Kotaro Ota scored a hard-earned victory over Ichimi Pro-Wrestling member Hiromi Hasegawa in the next match. Both men put on an enjoyable Junior sprint, creating a perfect combination of lucha and striking. Ota finally caught Hasegawa with a thrust kick, setting up the Violent Spark for the victory.

- The rivalry between Shigeru Iwasaki and CRIMSON's Akahito Yamada continued tonight in the form of a tag, as Iwasaki called upon his fellow REAL-ONE member Kenichiro Hujikawa, facing Yamada and KYOURUI 6 comrade Ryoma Inoue. The heels dominated early on, taking every short cut imaginable to gain the advantage. In the end however, it would be Iwasaki who would thwart Yamada's illegal advances, before cradling him with a small package hold for the victory! After the match, Iwasaki jokingly scolded Yamada for his cheating ways, saying that he was going to teach Yamada how to be a “good Kouhai.” Yamada vowed revenge, saying he and Ryoma Inoue would be bringing Mikio Tsuruya to aid them next month. In return, Hujikawa said that he would bring his partner, Jun Kobayashi, making the REAL-ONE vs. KYOURUI 6 six-man official for next months show!

- In the semi final, Director Nakata and protege Shuji Kido defeated NEW FORCE's Naoyuki Watanabe and Kazuki Sendo. The finish saw Kido and Sendo exchanging blows back and forth, until Kido rocked Sendo with a high kick, allowing him to get the three count with Nakata's very own Dragon Suplex hold! After the match, Nakata praised Kido for the win, saying it was an example of Kido's recent growth... He said that he wanted to further test Kido's abilities, and arranged for a very special opponent for him in June. Kido looked excited, and asked Nakata to tell him who it was. Nakata smiled, and said that Kido would have to wait until next month in Osaka, where Nakata will make the official announcement!

- The main event saw the long awaited return of the “Baka Machineguns,” Hisai Tomagotchi and Kinniku Kamen! Both men received a loud ovation from the 205 fans. Kinniku appeared to have gained some weight since his last appearance, as his outfit appeared to be too small for him... Their opponents, “WILD STYLE” had no intention of playing comedy with the duo, and attacked them before the bell, leading to a wild brawl around ringside. Hisai and Kinniku managed to mount a comeback a few minutes later, after taking both RYUJI and Tsuji out with simultaneous dropkicks. Hisai and Kinniku wrestled most of the match seriously, while occasionally throwing in some comedy to confuse RYUJI and Tsuji. Shortly after the ten minute mark however, the match came to a sudden halt after Manabe Tsuji tore off Kinniku's mask, obviously revealing TAKU. Regardless, attacking the mask of an opponent is illegal, which forced the referee to DQ Tsuji...

TAKU and Go Taniguchi were ready to keep fighting afterwards, before calling for a match restart! With the crowd behind them, the referee was forced to acquiesce, restarting the match. Immediately, TAKU and Go took the fight to WILD STYLE. The match broke down into a wild brawl going into its final moments. However, the dynamic changed as Manabe Tsuji noticed DYNAMITE's Niwatori Ogawa watching from the entrance way. The two immediately began exchanging works, taking Tsuji completely out of the match. A shoving match, leading to a full-blown slug fest between the two chaotic fighters ensued, which finally got the attention of RYUJI in the ring, allowing TAKU to capitalize with a VICIOUS Backdrop, leading to the Chojin Bomber, giving TAKU and Go the win!

After the match, Ogawa and Tsuji continued their wild brawl until finally being separated. Even after Ogawa was removed, Tsuji continued after him to the back... In the ring, TAKU jokingly said that he had finally been revealed to be Kinniku Kamen... Go acted surprised, noted that he thought it was weird Kinniku and TAKU had the same speaking voice... Both men thanked the fans for their support, and said they wanted to defend their new F-MAX Tag Team titles as soon as possible...

[Results] "BREAK BLOW Vol. 9," 3/12/2010 @ Shinjuku FACE

- From Tokyo's Shinjuku FACE, Hiroaki Nakata held his ninth installment of “BREAK BLOW” in front of over 500 fans. The show opened with Pro-Wrestling DYNAMITE's resident heel duo of Goro Iijima and Niwatori Ogawa facing FURY's Masafuji Yoshida and Tetsujin. The DYNAMITE team were booed heavily early on as they ambushed Yoshida and Tetsujin before the bell. It only took them five minutes to achieve victory after the referee was forced to stop the match after Ogawa sunk in a deep Choke Sleeper on Tetsujin. The two took the microphone and asked if this was the sort of competition that would be in the Sakura Tag Festival. The two demanded a slot in the tournament, promising to embarrass every tag team in FURY...

- “WILD STYLE” met Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's Makoto Saito and Kazuya Endo in the next match, in something that resembled a hardcore match. Despite the referee warnings, WILD STYLE used chairs early on, forcing Saito to have to fight back with fierce kicks, before eventually high kicking a chair into RYUJI's face. Towards the end however, WILD STYLE managed to isolate the less experienced of the two, Kazuya Endo. RYUJI finally caught him with the diving headbutt to keep him down for the three count. After the match, RYUJI made it clear that they would be entering the Sakura Tag Festival.

- In the next match, Shigeru Iwasaki faced off against Kazuma Fujita dojo graduate Akahito Yamada. As the story goes, Iwasaki and Yamada were friendly, but competitive rivals in the Fujita dojo system. Since debuting, Yamada has fought as a clean wrestler. That was until a couple of weeks ago, when Yamada joined CRIMSON's newest heel faction, “Kyourui 6.” Iwasaki aimed to take Yamada to task tonight, only to be attacked before the bell! Yamada used mostly heel tactics early on, including, but not limited to eye gouging and choking. Iwasaki eventually came back to punish Yamada with fiery kicks to the body. Iwasaki took the fight to Yamada, forcing him to abandon his heel tactics and combat Iwasaki skill-with-skill. The end came sudden however, as Yamada managed to sneak in one final heel trick after PUNTING Iwasaki between the legs after he countered a shoulder throw. With Iwasaki prone, Yamada followed with a small package hold, pinning Iwasaki just long enough for the three count! Yamada bolted from the ring immediately, only to taunt Iwasaki as he made his way towards the back...

- We had the semi final next, pitting TAKU against Go Taniguchi in a very unique match. As the stipulations state as per Go's request, if TAKU loses, he and Go must revert to their old comedy characters (Kinniku Kamen and Hisai Tomagotchi) to reform “The Baka Machineguns.” The two shook hands before the match, establishing a very friendly atmosphere. The two exchanged holds early on, with Go using his size to try to hold TAKU down. TAKU however fought back, eventually knocking Go to the mat with a powerful diving shoulder tackle. The pace picked up as the match progressed, with TAKU controlling. He demonstrated his incredible strength after the first half as he hoisted all 193cm of Go up for a vertical suplex. TAKU eventually aimed to finish Go with the Chojin Bomber, only for Go to counter with a crucifix hold, NEARLY PINNING TAKU FOR THREE! Go finally mounted some offense afterwards, using a flurry of northern chops to wear TAKU down. Go would eventually connect with a Nodowa Otoshi for a two count, followed by a running guillotine drop. TAKU however countered the Tama Tama Drop with a small package hold for 2.5. Both men scrambled to their feet, only for TAKU to strike with a Backslide, this time getting 2.8! Once again, both men dashed to their feet. TAKU struck first with a wild lariat, only for Go to duck, before securing the go-behind. Before Go would act however, TAKU countered, cradling Go with the Samson Clutch, holding tight just long enough to get the three count!

While disappointed, Go accepted deal afterwards, and said he would finally let go of his dream of reuniting the Baka Machineguns... Just as TAKU was about to speak, RYUJI and Manabe Tsuji returned to the ring, ambushing both men from behind! WILD STYLE looked strong early on, until Tsuji mistakenly hit RYUJI with a lariat, allowing TAKU and Go to finally clean house... After running WILD STYLE off, TAKU applauded RYUJI and Tsuji for “growing a pair.” He challenged the two to a match next month at Vol. 10. However, he said their opponents wouldn't be TAKU and Go Taniguchi... Instead, they would have to face... KINNIKU KAMEN and HISAI TOMAGOTCHI, causing Go to faint from excitement.

- In the main event, BREAK BLOW boss Hiroaki Nakata paired with his pupil from Hyogo, Shuji Kido, as they took on the DYNAMITE duo of Riki Ichiro and DYNAMITE President Masafumi Satake. All four men put on a superb technical sprint, with everybody using a blend of strikes, submissions, and suplexes. Towards the end however, it would be Hiroaki Nakata that score the pin after folding Satake in half with his trademark Dragon Suplex hold.

After the match, Nakata held up the WWA National Heavyweight title for all the see, including the #1 contender to that title, Riki Ichiro. Nakata said that it has almost been a year since he won this title from Tatsumichi Akamatsu in Kyocera Dome Osaka, and said his goal was to use the title to motivate and inspire the youth generation of Pro-Wrestling. However, he said that the new generation still had more room to grow before a wrestler would be ready to take the WWA National Heavyweight title. However, Nakata said that he was getting impatient of waiting, and now wanted to look for new goals in his life. After turning directly towards Ichiro, he announced that he plans on vacating the WWA National Heavyweight title on 5/31/2010, one year to the day he won the title, and announced that Riki Ichiro would be his final challenger, as the two face off on 3/27 in Kanagawa. The crowd didn't respond well to Nakata's announcement. Ichiro said that Nakata's declaration meant nothing, as he had no plans of losing on 3/27. Nakata smirked, and said that the match would be at the very least, exciting.

As the show winded down, Nakata thanked the fans for their continued support. He made one final announcement before closing, revealing that both he and Shuji Kido would team together in the upcoming Sakura Tag Festival tournament.

[Results] "BREAK BLOW Vol. 8," 12/04/2009 @ Shinjuku FACE

- Tonight in Tokyo, Shuji Kido became the #1 contender to Producer Hiroaki Nakata's WWA National Heavyweight title in winning a one-night tournament, beating WFW's Daisuke Yamazaki, FURY's Shuji Kido, and finally Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's Naoki Daishi in a fiercely competitive tournament final. Kido would first face off against Daisuke Yamazaki, who proved to be a difficult task for Kido. In the end however, Kido was able to submit Yamazaki with a nasty cross armbreaker. Kido would next face FURY's Manabe Tsuji in something of a grudge match. The two have traded wins on prior BREAK BLOW cards, with tonight being Kido's night. His finals opponent Naoki Daishi had a much easier trek to the finals as he earned a bye to the semi finals due to random draw. In his semi finals match, he decimated Indy favorite Hiromi Hasegawa in only three-minutes after spiking him on his head with the Northern Lights Bomb. When it became clear Hasegawa was unconscious, Referee Ed Sasaki brought a stop to the match, awarding Daishi the win via TKO... As mentioned, the finals between the two was a fierce technical battle. After several close calls, Kido managed to edge Daishi out using Hiroaki Nakata's own Dragon Suplex hold to pin Daishi's shoulders to the mat! After the match, Kido called out Producer Nakata and officially challenged him for 12/21. Of course, Nakata accepted, saying he looked forward to facing Kido in a “big match” environment.

[Results] "BREAK BLOW Vol. 7," 7/24/2009 @ Shinjuku FACE

- Hiroaki Nakata presented the seventh volume of BREAK BLOW tonight in Tokyo in front of another packed house in Shinjuku FACE. Director Nakata appeared at the start, and welcomed the fans. He reminded fans of next month's "BREAK BLOW ~ PREMIUM Vol. 1" event at Korakuen Hall, and said he was working on creating an exciting card for the special event, which would include two "all star" wrestlers that would be introduced later in the show.

- The first match pitted the 198cm "Greco Superman" Mamoru Sekishima against the Jason Ramsey trained 195cm monster, Takeshi "BASH" Yamada. While Sekishima had the height advantage, Yamada would have the weight advantage, tipping the scales at a mammoth 127kg Yamada. The two powerhouse fighters locked arms as the match began. Yamada muscled Sekishima around at the start, but the "Greco Superman" came back with his brute strength, and sent Yamada stumbling back into the ropes! Both engaged in some mat wrestling next. While Sekishima controlled the early going of the exchange, Yamada would surprise the All-Asian champion with his amateur prowess. Finally, both monsters engaged in heavy blows, which got a big reaction from the Shinjuku FACE fans. Yamada eventually got the upper hand due to his experience, and tried to submit Sekishima with the dreaded "rookie killer," the Boston Crab. Sekishima however refused to submit, and used his legs to break Yamada's grip to escape. Eventually, Sekishima came back after ducking a lariat from Yamada, before crushing "BASH" with a kitchen sink! As Yamada got to a knee, Sekishima came off the ropes before BLASTING Yamada in the chest with a heavy knee kick! However, Sekishima was unable to follow through as he attempted a gut wrench-type move, only to be countered with a shoulder throw. This time, Yamada caught him with the lariat. He tried to connect with a Backdrop, but Sekishima struggled, prompting Yamada to throw a flurry of knee lifts to Sekishima's body. Finally, Yamada was able to connect with the Backdrop. He followed through with the pin, only for the rookie to kick out at 2.5! As Sekishima got to his feet, Yamada BLASTED him with a jumping knee, causing Sekishima to double over. Finally, Yamada hit Sekishima with a second Jumping Knee, catching him in the side of the head in what would finally be enough to keep Sekishima down for the three count!

After the match, Yamada praised Sekishima for how much spirit he had this early into his career, but said that it was the training of Jason Ramsey that spelled the difference... Sekishima took offense to this, and said that Kazuma Fujita was the better trainer. Yamada laughed it off, saying "Tonight proves otherwise..." As Yamada walked away, a passionate Sekishima told Yamada that he would prove it, and challenged Yamada to a match on FURY's 8/11 Ryogoku Kokugikan show! Yamada paused, and said that the only way to prove who the better trainer is was to INCLUDE Fujita and Ramsey in the match! Sekishima and Yamada both agreed to talk to their respective trainers and set up the match for Ryogoku!

- In the next bout, Keiji Takano trained Channarong Boriwaan of Thailand entered the BREAK BLOW ring to face Pro-Wrestling DYNAMITE's Daisuke Yamazaki. Yamazaki had a hard time dealing with the striking and submission style of Boriwaan, who appeared to be one step ahead of Yamazaki at every turn. Yamazaki eventually got in some offense, after driving Boriwaan face-first into the mat with a Bulldog Headlock. However, after aiming for a backdrop, Boriwaan easily countered by tossing Yamazaki with a judo throw. The end however came suddenly as Yamazaki secretly removed the top turnbuckle pad, just in time to avoid a corner attack from Boriwaan, who smashed head first into the exposed turnbuckle, stunning him just long enough for Yamazaki to cradle him with a schoolboy for the flash three count!

Yamazaki celebrated passionately after the match, while Boriwaan protested to referee Akinori Fuwa about the exposed turnbuckle. Yamazaki taunted Boriwaan, saying he had beaten a disciple of Keiji Takano, and thus felt he could even beat Takano himself! ...On cue, the unmistakable theme of "Karmacoma" by Massive Attack hit, sending Shinjuku FACE into a roar of cheers, as KEIJI TAKANO made a surprise appearance! Yamazaki's face turned paper white as he dropped to his knees. Takano himself seemed humored by Yamazaki's words as he stepped into the ring, and even feinted a kick, causing Yamazaki to roll out of the ring in terror... On the microphone, Takano said that he had been following the progress of BREAK BLOW since its inception, and feels its ring would suite him, and announced that he would participate on 8/29's "BREAK BLOW ~ PREMIUM Vol. 1" event from Korakuen Hall! And much to Yamazaki's horror, he announced that it would be in a match involving Daisuke Yamazaki! However, Yamazaki was relieved somewhat to know that it would be a tag match, as Takano will team with his disciple, Channarong Boriwaan. However, Takano also revealed that he knew who Yamazaki's partner would be, and said he would call him out RIGHT NOW! This led to "Engines of AKI" to hit, ushering out TATSUMICHI AKAMATSU! The fans ERUPTED as Akamatsu entered the ring, standing face-to-face with Keiji Takano! Akamatsu said that he had dreamed of facing Takano in the ring for all of his career, and said that on 8/29, he would realize this dream. Both superstars shook hands in the center of the ring, and said they would give Korakuen Hall an intense fight.

- The generation rivalry between Naoyuki Watanabe and BURNING PARADISE's Tetsuo Tange was reignited tonight here in Shinjuku FACE as the two faced off in the ring for the first time since 2/25/2005. Tonight however, they would lead their respective teams to war in the ring, as Watanabe brought his fellow NEW FORCE members Etsuya Kawachi and Kazuki Sendo, while Tange led the BURNING PARADISE team of Akitoshi Yoneda and Tanuki Gao. Both teams put on a great performance for the crowd. The fans got more into the bout once Tange and Watanabe squared off. Both pummeled the other with sharp blows, until Tange promptly cut off their exchange with a vicious spear to drive Watanabe to the mat! Later on however, Watanabe came back, catching Tange with a Shining Wizard. In the end however, it would be the amazing acrobat Tanuki Gao who would flatten Kazuki Sendo with an awe-inspiring Shooting Star press to give the BURNING PARADISE team the victory!

After the match, Watanabe congratulated Tange and his team in winning, but said he couldn't help but want another encounter against his rival, which lead to him CHALLENGING Tetsuo Tange to a singles match at "BREAK BLOW ~ PREMIUM Vol. 1" on 8/29! Tange smiled, and accepted the match without hesitation, and promised to avenge the loss he suffered in their last singles match over four years ago!

- In the semi final, Norihiro Akashi and Nansei Nihon's Shuji Kido battled the PWC Jr. Tag Champions, "OSAKA WILD STYLE" RYUJI and Manabe Tsuji. Both teams held nothing back, and were throwing bombs right out of the gate. "WILD STYLE" had the edge in teamwork, and isolated Kido for much of the match. However, Kido and Akashi eventually came back after a miscommunication between "WILD STYLE." Towards the end, Kido aimed to finish Tsuji with the "Explosion" High Kick. Tsuji however ducked the shot, before giving Kido a blatant shot to the groin behind the referees back! This allowed Tsuji to scoop Kido up, before SPIKING him with the Guts Coaster, giving OSAKA WILD STYLE the victory!

"WILD STYLE" celebrated their win after the match. However, it was cut short by an irate Shuji Kido, who called Tsuji out on his illegal attack. Tsuji mocking shrugged in response. Kido demanded to face Tsuji in a singles match. Tsuji seemed to accept with a gesture of "bring it on." However, no date was made...

- In the main event, the "HOKKAIDO KINGS," Yoshihiro Shimoda and Jin Hiroto clashed with the WWA National Heavyweight Champion Hiroaki Nakata, along with Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's Akahito Yamada in a spectacular match for the 409 fans in attendance. All four men put on a main event worthy of a much larger building. Being the only heavyweight in the match, Nakata surprisingly kept up with the pace the other three wrestlers set. Some of the early exchanges saw Nakata and Hiroto going at it with a tirade of kicks back and forth. Later on, Shimoda and Yamada would go at it with an exchange of mat wrestling. However, the fans were most into the encounters between Shimoda and Nakata, who have been on again/off again tag partners over the years. Despite the size difference, Shimoda kept up with Nakata, and at times looked very strong! He would score several near falls over the WWA National Heavyweight Champion. In the end however, Yamada would be the unfortunate victim of the Hokkaido Kings' combination Torokeru Knee/Jumping High Kick called the "Amatsukami Guillotine," which would give them the victory!

The Tokyo fans gave a loud round of applause for all four men, with several fans erupting in chants of "YA-MA-DA" for his spirited performance. After the dust had cleared, Nakata thanked all three for giving their all tonight, and said that both Shimoda and Hiroto were simply better tonight. Yamada however interjected, and grabbed the mic out of Nakata's hands. He spoke passionately, saying he couldn't let tonight stand, and DEMANDED a rematch against Shimoda and Hiroto. However, instead of Nakata, Yamada said he would bring in his fellow OVERTHROW partner, Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON's NAOKI DAISHI! However, Yamada wasn't finished, as he challenged Shimoda and Hiroto to put up their Sapporo City Tag Team titles! Hiroto and Shimoda whispered amongst themselves for a moment, before accepting Yamada's challenge! Nakata signed off on the match, and announced it would take place on the 8/29 "BREAK BLOW ~ PREMIUM Vol. 1" event in Korakuen Hall!

Nakata attempted to end the show, only to be interrupted once more by Yoshihiro Shimoda... Shimoda said that he accepted this match tonight with a hidden agenda, as he wished to challenge Nakata for his WWA National Heavyweight title! This caught the interest of the Tokyo fans, who erupted in a chorus of cheers and calls. Nakata asked Shimoda where this match should take place.... Shimoda was silent for a moment, before finally saying, "...Ryogoku Kokugikan!" The fans ERUPTED as Nakata cracked a smile, before shaking Shimoda's hand, confirming the match for 8/11 at Ryogoku! However, as Nakata turned around, Shimoda tapped Nakata on the shoulder before BLASTING HIM WITH A HIGH KICK! The fans responded with a mixed reaction as Shimoda grabbed Nakata's WWA National Heavyweight title before posing over his prone body! With his foot across Nakata's chest, Shimoda did the usual show-ending "3! 2! 1! BREAK! BLOW!" call, before draping the belt across Nakata's body, before making his leave...

[Results] "BREAK BLOW Vol. 4," 4/24/2009 @ Shinjuku FACE

- Just as one tag league wrapped up, the fans packed into Shinjuku FACE witnessed another, as BREAK BLOW held a one-night lottery tag tournament. Just before kick off, the six teams were read off to the fans, along with the two teams that would be given a bye to the semi finals of the tournament...

- Hiroaki Nakata & Daisuke Yamazaki [DYNAMITE]
- Tatsumichi Akamatsu [DYNAMITE] & Shuji Kido [Nansei]
- Yoshihiro Shimoda & Hiromi Hasegawa [Ichimi]
- Manabe Tsuji & Jin Hiroto [Hokkaido]
- Kyuwa Suzuki & Akahito Yamada (BYE to semi finals)
- Chikao Kessin & Takayuki Ariwa (BYE to semi finals)

- The tournament kicked off with a huge match-up, as Hiroaki Nakata and DYNAMITE's Daisuke Yamazaki faced Yamazaki's fellow STRONGHOLD member, TATSUMICHI AKAMATSU and Nansei's Shuji Kido! The fans were most interested in the match due to the opening face off between Nakata and Akamatsu, who both seemed to be eager to test their mettle against one another. However, fans would only be given a tease, as before Nakata and Akamatsu could get anything going, they were both forcibly tagged out to their eager partners, bringing in Kido and Yamazaki. Both put on a thrilling encounter between both men seeking to prove their worth. In the end however, it would be Kido would would trap Yamazaki in a cross armbreaker, forcing him to submit... Yamazaki seemed distraught at the loss, but the Tokyo crowd showered him with praise and cheers...

- The the second first-round bout, partners faced off once again, as Yoshihiro Shimoda and Ichimi's Hiromi Hasegawa faced Manabe Tsuji and Hokkaido Pro-Wrestling's Jin Hiroto. Friends and partners Shimoda and Hiroto chose to face off against one another, as they put on a thrilling mat wrestling clinic, before switching things up to fierce kicks back and forth. In the end, both men reached a stalemate, forcing them to tag out to their respective partners. Tsuji dominated Hiromi with strength early on, forcing Hiromi to rely more on his cunning trickery to flash cradle Tsuji several times... But in the end, Tsuji finally caught Hiromi, before TOSSING him into the air, before CLUBBING him in the back of the head on the way down. From there, Hiromi was eventually finished off with Jin Hiroto's Dragon Suplex hold, allowing them to advance to the semi finals...

- We then had the first semi finals bout, pitting Tatsumichi Akamatsu and Shuji Kido against the fresh team of freelancer Kyuwa Suzuki and CRIMSON's Akahito Yamada... However, even after competing in one match, it was clear Akamatsu and Kido were a force to be reckoned with, as they they eventually took the bout after Akamatsu finished Suzuki with the Tatsubuster...

- But who would face Akamatsu and Kido? We were about to find out, as Manabe Tsuji and Jin Hiroto faced Chikao Kessin and CRIMSON's Takayuki Ariwa, who received a bye from the prior round... It was here that Tsuji and Hiroto's team began to fall apart, as their constant bickering allowed Kessin and Ariwa to gain the advantage... Eventually, Hiroto had enough, as he BLASTED Tsuji with an enzuigiri, allowing Ariwa to nearly decapitate Tsuji with the Angelos! From there, Tsuji was finished with the Splash Mountain, sending Kessin and Ariwa to face Akamatsu and Kido in the finals...

- After a brief intermission, we had the finals of the one-night tournament. It was the old adage or "Technique vs. Strength" as Akamatsu and Kido faced Kessin and Ariwa. Neither team held anything back, including their strikes, as Akamatsu and Kessin tore into one another with HARD elbows. Later, Kessin would actually bust Akamatsu's lip after a BRUTAL flurry of palm strikes into the corner. Ariwa also stood out to the Tokyo crowd, as he took it to the man who once domineered over Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON, Tatsumichi Akamatsu... Despite coming close several times to pinning the former "Supreme Commander," Ariwa would eventually fall after taking not one, not two, but THREE Jumping High Kicks to the side of the skull, giving Akamatsu and Kido the tournament win!

After the match, Akamatsu and Kido celebrated their win amidst the cheers of the crowd. BREAK BLOW producer Hiroaki Nakata returned to congratulate the winners... Nakata praised Akamatsu and Kido for their win, but said that he wanted to continue testing Akamatsu's mettle in the BREAK BLOW ring, before issuing yet another challenge! Nakata proposed for next month's BREAK BLOW, a four-match series take place between Akamatsu's "STRONGHOLD" faction, and an army of wrestlers hand picked by Hiroaki Nakata. Akamatsu appeared to be intrigued by the idea, and accepted! However, Akamatsu issued a challenge of his own, wishing to take their rivalry to the FURY ring, as he demanded a tag confrontation against Nakata on FURY's 5/08 show in DYNAMITE's backyard of Kanagawa! Without hesitation, Nakata accepted the bout.

[Results] "BREAK BLOW Vol. 2," 2/20/2009 @ Shinjuku FACE

- Hiroaki Nakata presented the second volume of his BREAK BLOW concept in front of a sold out Shinjuku FACE in Tokyo. The show opened with CRIMSON's Akahito Yamada facing NEW FORCE member Kazuki Sendo in a spirited test for Sendo, who showed good instincts early on, but eventually fell to the technical superiority of Yamada, who cradled Sendo with the Musubime for the pinfall win... Sendo received good marks from the fans, and promised to continue pushing forward...

- The returning Shigeru Iwasaki stepped into the BREAK BLOW ring, facing Masakatsu Irie of Tokyo-based independent group FULL SPEED. The lesser experienced member of FULL SPEED's Metro Life unit took his challenge head on, using a flurry of kicks. Despite a good start, Irie was eventually overcome with the newfound spirit and confidence of Iwasaki, who finished Irie with a vicious blow to the side of the head for the pin. Despite losing, Irie did his best, which Iwasaki noted. Before Iwasaki left, he was approached by CRIMSON's Akahito Yamada, referring to him as "Iwasaki-senpai..." Yamada noted that among the 1st term students he studied under in the Kazuma Fujita dojo, Iwasaki helped him the most, and said he would always be thankful. This led to Yamada throwing out a challenge to Iwasaki for next month's BREAK BLOW. Iwasaki of course accepted.

- The third match saw the returning Shuji Kido of Nansei face the toughest challenge in his young career, facing Yoshihiro Shimoda. Kido's size advantage proved to be great asset, as he had the added strength to counter everything Shimoda threw at him early on. However, strength alone would not be enough to defeat one of the strongest Jr. Heavyweights in the world, as Shimoda immobilized Kido with a release German Suplex, before grounding him. Kido did his best to escape the various positions, but eventually fell straight into Shimoda's trap, who caught him in a nasty cross armbreaker, forcing Kido to submit! Shimoda praised Kido afterwards, encouraging him to continue coming to the BREAK BLOW ring.

- In the semi final, the "Supreme Commander" Tatsumichi Akamatsu made his arrival to the BREAK BLOW ring, facing the unruly Manabe Tsuji. Tsuji came dashing out of the gate as the gong sounded, throwing a flurry of elbows at Akamatsu. Akamatsu tried to fight back, but Tsuji amazingly showed great finesse by countering, before throwing a HARD forearm, catching Akamatsu in the side of the head, CAUSING HIM TO DROP TO A KNEE! The crowd ERUPTED as referee Akinori Fuwa pulled Tsuji back to begin counting Akamatsu down! However, before he could reach one, Akamatsu was already up, and IRATE, as he BLASTED the unprepared Tsuji with a HARD boot to the face, before unleashing a flurry of elbows and chops, leading to VICIOUS KNEE KICKS TO THE CHEST! With Tsuji stunned, Akamatsu finally leaped, SMASHING INTO THE SIDE OF TSUJI'S HEAD WITH A JUMPING HIGH KICK, prompting Tsuji to crumble onto the mat! Fuwa began counting Tsuji out, but after it was clear he was NOT getting up, Fuwa called the match off, awarding the bout to Tatsumichi Akamatsu! Akamatsu got on the microphone afterwards, saying, "NAKATA! Is this the best you have to offer! This is a joke!" This brought back out YOSHIHIRO SHIMODA, who seemed to take Akamatsu's words personally... Shimoda issued a challenge to Akamatsu for next month's show, provoking Akamatsu to accept!

- In the main event, Hiroaki Nakata once again clashed with a member of the CRIMSON roster, this time in rising up-and-comer Takayuki Ariwa, who challenged Nakata at the conclusion of last month's show. The physically impressive Ariwa asserted himself early on, proudly showing off his strength by manhandling Nakata during the early going. The ever-resourceful Nakata however tried to cut Ariwa off at the knees--literally, as he used an arsenal of leg kicks to try and slow Ariwa down. However, all it did was anger him, as Ariwa soon began to fight with even more aggression, forcing Nakata to step up his game as the bout progressed. Ariwa began to make some serious headway, damaging Nakata with blunt force attacks, including sledgehammer blows and elbows. However, Nakata managed to pull a trick out of his tights, as he countered the emerging Ariwa's spear with a well timed knee to the face, stunning Ariwa long enough for a downed count from Edd Sasaki! But despite being temporarily out of it, he would manage to shake it off. Nakata took control for the next portion of the match, holding nothing back against the muscle of CRIMSON's Yankizoku unit. Eventually, Nakata aimed to finish Ariwa with a Dragon Suplex, but the powerhouse proved too strong for Nakata, as he muscled out, before catching Nakata with the Angelos discus lariat, leading to a near fall! Ariwa continued to look impressive, further punishing Nakata with more attacks, including a release German Suplex! The match eventually reached its raging climax, as Ariwa attempted to finish Nakata with another Angelos, only for Nakata to counter with an arm breaker across his shoulder! Ariwa tried to fight through the pain, and throw another lariat... But once more, Nakata caught and telegraphed it with three consecutive arm breakers across the shoulder! Ariwa grabbed his own in pain, before ROARING out to the crowd! Ariwa wounded up once more, before throwing yet another Angelos... But again, Nakata caught the arm, before taking Ariwa down, and applying a WAKIGATAME! Ariwa ADAMATELY refused to submit, and desperately reached for the ropes... But just before he was about to, Nakata dragged Ariwa away, before pulling back on Ariwa's arm even further! With each passing moment, Ariwa's arm bent more and more, before finally being forced to submit!

The fans erupted in support of both men, who put on an incredible effort. Ariwa earned a huge ovation from fans as he was helped to his feet, with many "ARIWA!" calls being thrown his way. Ariwa tried to leave the ring, but he was pulled back in by Nakata... After an intense stare down, Nakata eased the moment by extending his hand for a handshake... Ariwa considered it for a moment, before SLAPPING Nakata's hand away, earning boos from the fans who were just shouting his name... Nakata was joined by most of tonight's competitors, as Nakata thanked the fans for making the second volume of BREAK BLOW a success. He led the wrestlers, along with the fans in the first show-ending "BREAK! BLOW! FIGHT!" cheer, bringing the show to a close.
