03/22/08 House show results
Royal Ring's show tonight was by all accounts a very good one. The venue was packed so full it was hard to even say it was standing room only. The show started a little later than normal due to the huge amount of people still waiting to get in.
The opening match was the Young Princes Cup Warm Up 6 Man Tag match. Akira Hiroyama really stood out in this match and picked up the win for his team with his Exploiter Suplex. Most fans were also impressed by the fortitude of Daijiro Sasaki and the off beat antics of Shunsuke Hiratsuka.
Akira Hiroyama, Shunsuke Hiratsuka and Satoshi Ishibashi defeated Daijiro Sasaki, Taku Yamata, and Daiki Satou when Hiroyama pinned Yamata with the Exploiter Suplex in 14:21.
Next up, Takafumi Satake made his Royal Ring debut as he faced El Patron. Satake said that this match had all the makings of a great jr. match and he was right. Both men battled from bell to bell and put on an amazing non-stop high-flying match. In the end Satake hit the Falling From Heaven (phoenix splash) and scored the win. El Patron refused a handshake after the match.
Takafumi Satake pinned El Patron with the Falling From Heaven in 16:32.
The next match was dubbed "Massive Scale Tag Attack" and massive it was. Sam Hamlin teamed up with Abrams to face Heavy Takada and Panzer Mask. Takada and Hamlin really stole the show, as they tore into one another. Abrams and Panzer Mask put on a similarly good performance, and some fans called it Panzer Mask's best showing to date. It wasn't enough to win the match for his team however, as Takada was pinned after Hamlin and Abrams hit him with a double team powerbomb.
Sam Hamlin and Abrams defeated Heavy Takada and Panzer Mask when Abrams pinned Takada after a double team powerbomb in 13:53.
Kensuke Masuno's Royal Ring debut was up next as he teamed with Taka Ichigawa and Yujiro Sekimoto to face Yoshi Hiromata, Kotaro Shinaga, and Alexi Vorstok. This match was epic to say the least. A ton of near falls and comebacks left fans on the edge of their seats. Masuno's performance was said to be excellent and it really brought the quality of the match up. It ended when Ichigawa nailed the Cannon Driver on Hiromata and made the pin.
Taka Ichigawa, Yujiro Sekimoto and Kensuke Masuno defeated Alexi Vorstok, Kotaro Shinaga and Yoshi Hiromata when Ichigawa pinned Hiromata after a Cannon Driver in 28:26.
After the match Shinaga and Hiromata were seen arguing, but it's not clear at this time what they were arguing about, or how serious the argument was. If we hear anything we'll be sure to let you know.
It was time for the main event, an RRC Tag Team Title match. The challengers Jun Miyakama and Masayuki Inoue put up a valiant effort but could not take the titles from Masa Fujinami and Hido Shibata. Fujinami and Shibata were just on fire tonight and worked perfectly as a team. Shibata said after the match that he feels that there isn't a team in Royal Ring who can take the belts from them.
Masa Fujinami and Hido Shibata made a successful defense of the RRC Tag Team Titles against Jun Miyakama and Masayuki Inoue when Fujinami pinned Miyakama with the Destiny Hammer in 18:43.
This event definitely seemed like a success for Royal Ring, and the two outside talents played no small part in making it so. I'm sure they both will return to Royal Ring in the future.

03/09/08 Results
Royal Ring held it's first card since the inception of this english readers blog last night, and it was said to be well received, with some fans going so far as to call Royal Ring the Japanese ROH, well not entirely accurate, managment took this is as a favorable compliment.
The first match on the card saw Satoshi Ishibashi make his debut and take Daijiro Sasaki to his limits. Ishibashi managed to score a big victory in his first Royal Ring match with a powerbomb in a little over 22 min. Ishibashi said it felt good proving his trainers wrong, and showing them that he is ready to step into the ring. Sasaki said that Ishibashi is a lot tougher than he looks and that his actions outside of the ring may be disrespectful and arrogant, but that he means business when he's wrestling. Our cameras were off line for this match, and unfortunately we do not have video footage of Ishibashi's debut.
[Satoshi Ishibashi] Powerbomb [Daijiro Sasaki] 22:31
The second match pitted the semi-regular team of Akira Hiroyama and Ryo Taguchi up against the Cordova Bros. Akira Hiroyama and Ryo Taguchi announced before the match that they were only interested in establishing their physical dominance in the tag team division, and that winning the match wasn't important. The two teams went back and forth and it was said to be an enjoyable match. It ended when all four men refused to answer the 20 count outside the ring at around the 20min mark.
[Akira Hiroyama and Ryo Taguchi] DRAW [Cordova Bros.] 20:27
Our next bout featured Marja Marz facing off against Yuka Nishiyama with the winner facing Ayame Yamoto for the JRC championship at our 03/29/08 show. This was an evenly matched fight, but Marja got the upper hand with her stiff kicks. The ending was a surprise to everyone when Marja locked on an elbow knee hold and Nishiyama tapped. Nishiyama was said to have suffered minor damage to her knee as a result of the move and will be out of action for around 2 weeks as per doctors orders.
[Marja Marz] elbow leg lock [Yuka Nishiyama] 14:47
Taru Kyomatsu faced "Sweet" Pete Good next. This match was a brawl, with both competitors landing some heavy strikes. Kyomatsu was busted open early, but it was no problem for the former death match star to deal with, and he soldiered on. Kyomatsu hit a Minoru special III on Good for the win at 24:25.
[Taru Kyomatsu] Minoru special III [Pete Good] 24:25
Next up was the two behemoths, Sam Hamlin, and Heavy Takada. Both men took it too one another and as a result ended up gassing out early. Despite the match being the shortest of the night, it was also one of the stiffest. The end came when Takada nailed a Takada Tidal Splash at 14:02.
[Heavy Takada] Takada Tidal Splash [Sam Hamlin] 14:02
Fans expected the next match to be epic, and unfortunately it didn't deliver as expected. While it was still a good match, it was not what everyone expected. It was the second shortest match of the night and only by seconds. Taka Ichigawa and Kotaro Shinaga just didn't get in the groove tonight and delivered a match that ended in only 14 minutes and 6 seconds. Shinaga picked up the victory with a modified figure four.
[Kotaro Shinaga] modified figure four [Taka Ichigawa] 14:06.
Our main event was next. Koji Tanaka and Yujiro Hashin vs. Yoshi Hiromata and Kazu Narita. Hiromata said this would be a test to see how well Narita held up in big matches. He certainly held up well, scoring the submission win over RRC Heavyweight Champion Koji Tanaka with a reverse viper hold in 31:46. Tanaka said that bad days happened and promised to make this up to his fans. Narita on the other hand was confident and according to Royal Ring rules, anyone who pins or submits the champion in a non-title situation is automatically granted a title shot. Narita said he wants that shot to happen at the 03/29/08 event.
