June 24, Tokyo Dome (FPR); Former "Sexy Fight"
star Reiko defeated champion Mary after a back and forth match that saw numerous near-falls on both sides.
"Bruiser Brody" retained the Ningen title by K.O. After challenger Toshiaki Kawada was downed by the champ, many thought Ohtani would be the one to wrest the title from him. However he finally fell victim to an old-school piledriver, sending Ohtani to Queer Street on rubbery legs.
LAWL's Marie Reyes defeated IKU with a Buffalo Sleeper Hold. It was an interesting back and forth match, with the more
experienced Reyes taking the victory.
HOLT NOTE: After the match, Reyes and IKU shook hands while IKU bowed to her.
Nice show of sports(wo)man
ship to end that match.
PW-RIOT's Delray Biggs, Steve Kingston, and Trent Frost defeated MCPro's Dwayne Reade, Ryan Wright, and SHALLOW when Biggs pinned Wright with a Falcon Arrow.
Excellent showing by all. If the MCPro and PW-Riot guys were experiencing any jet lag, they all masked it well and put forth one hell of a match. The geNEON boys were excellent in cutting the ring in half and always keeping the fresh man in. The skillfulness of Biggs and the all out toughness of Kingston really won over the Tokyo Dome crowd. Even though this match marks the return of SHALLOW after a two-year long absence, there was no ring rust visible. Trent FROST, his former stablemate also returned from time away to recover from a leg injury.
HOLT notes: Trent FROST was limping heavily backstage after the match. This
was believed to have been caused by Reade's multiple dropkicks to the knee. Word is that he has been taken to the hospital to have some MRI's done, but nothing has
been confirmed as of yet.
PW-RIOT's Arson defeated Russ Morgan with the Firebomb. There were numerous attempts by Morgan to try and put Arson away early, including 2 Northen Lights Bombs, but they all failed. Arson showed everyone why he is PW-Riot's No
Frills Champion.
HOLT notes: Backstage, Morgan was heard muttering, "holy fuck."
Other results:
Match 1:
A-Hole Ronald Vs. Riki Choshu Choshu def. Ronald with a Sleeper Hold. Crowd was
all over Ronald in this encounter.
Match 2:
Liliana Vs. Amy Chen Chen def. Liliana with a Rolling Prawn Hold. A rather
disjointed match between two rookies new to OJ-FWA. It was the first time for both of them working in front of such a large audience. The surprise ending really
seemed to get the crowd into the match. These rookies can only get better!
HOLT notes: After the match, after hearing what co-president Reiko Hikawa had to say about the match, Liliana stormed out looking extremely frustrated. Despite all this, Liliana is still planned to be facing Chen again when OJ-FWA visits the US. Their match will take place on the promotion's Hammerstein Ballroom card which, of course, is located in Liliana's home state of New York.
Match 3: Team Challenge Series - RANDOM Vs. Team Fire Pro
