Tigers Mask intruded after the first match, causing Kazuaki Mihara to try to restrain him. This allowed Takumi Tsukamoto to attack Mihara. Tigers declared that Tsukamoto was joining the rudo army. Tigers shouted at the fans asking them if they wanted to see “Great Tsuka”?

Miracle’s next produced show reportedly will be on 8/1 in Himeji.

Osaka Pro Champion Billyken Kid will miss the 3/21 Holiday Paradise show as he’ll be participating on a Kyushu Pro-Wrestling event, teaming up with Ryota Chikuzen in the main event.  BKK posted a recent blog entry, detailing his reasoning for this.  BKK and Chikuzen are very good friends as they first met in Mexico during their early wrestling days.  Interestingly enough, BKK said he probably would’ve moved to Kyushu and eventually join Kyushu Pro-Wrestling if he wasn’t in Osaka Pro.  In any event, BKK seems to have a sense of pride for Hakata and Chikuzen so that’s why he’ll be on the show.

In other news, Kyusei Ninja Ranmaru announced that she’ll be on Osaka Pro’s upcoming shows on 3/21 (Shinjuku FACE) and 3/28 (Hakata Star Lanes).  This again seems to add merit to the fact that she’s a big show participant.

More Osaka Pro participation in Big Japan Pro-Wrestling to report.  BKK, Asian Cooger & Kuishinbo Kamen will be on BJW’s 3/29 Oita and 3/30 Hiroshima shows.

Some pictures from last night’s drinking party featuring Tigers Mask, Black Buffalo & Tadasuke.  Color me jealous.  I will refrain from posting the more drunken pictures of my friend Gordi.

Sidenote….here are some pictures of Gordi’s “brother from a different mother” Yuji and Tokyo Buffalo Fan.  I don’t believe I met Yuji last year, but hopefully he’ll be around during the upcoming vacation.  TBF, I remember very well and hope I see her again.  She was a really nice person.  And she gave us some pretty awesome cookies too.

Masanori Ishikura held his (apparently) final Ishikura Dojo show today after Holiday Paradise.  Ishikura faced BKK in yet another singles match and as with the others, fell in the end to the Firebird Splash.  Some other interesting bouts saw Daisuke Harada beat BattlArts’ Keita Yano via Katayama German Suplex Hold and Kaientai Dojo’s Yuji Hino defeat Kazuaki Mihara.  There was a bonus track as usual after the main event, with Yuki Tanaka pinning mentor Ishikura after a German Suplex and help from his teammates.

Ishikura addressed the crowd afterwards and said he wasn’t retiring.  Rather, he would be going to Okinawa Pro-Wrestling starting in April.  Ishikura promised to return to the Osaka Pro ring whenever requested however.

Wednesday evening sees another Miracleman Petit Hurricane produced show, with joshi wrestling participation in several matches.  The main event sees Miracle, Kanjyuro & Ayumi Kurihara face Tigers, Black Buffalo & Kana.  Tigers, Buffalo & Kana have been teammates in the past, often doing the Passion Red gimmick to humorous results.  Interesting tag match on the undercard as BKK & Takoyakida face Osaka Pro Tag Champions Kotoge & Harada.

Saturday is an eventful show, with BKK & Yutaka facing Sengoku to determine who’ll face Momo no Seishun Tag for the Osaka Pro Tag Titles (more on that later).  The semi-final sees Asian Cooger face the Bodyguard in an Anything Goes Hardcore Match.  There will be no countouts here so hopefully there’ll be some resolution to their feud.  Kotoge leads Miracle, Takoyakida & Mihara into battle against LOV’s Tigers, Buffalo, Orochi & Tadasuke.  3WAY comedy will have Kuishinbo against Ebessan against Kanjyuro and Harada’s in the opener against BJW’s Tsukamoto.

Osaka Pro heads to Fukuoka on 3/28 as a part of a afternoon/evening doubleheader with BJW.  It was announced that Momo no Seishun Tag will make their first Osaka Pro Tag Title defense against the winners of Saturday’s main event.

Sunday is a sky-A television taping for those keeping score at home.  Tsubasa makes his Osaka Pro return after a few months, teaming up with Miracle & Ebessan in the main event against Kotoge, Kanjyuro & Kuishinbo.  BKK & Cooger face Buffalo & Orochi and Harada & Mihara take on Tigers & Tadasuke in two undercard tag matches.  Sengoku finds themselves in singles competition as Masamune faces BJW’s Tsukamoto and Hideyoshi squares off against Takoyakida in the opening contest.

In a nice little fan touch, fans will be allowed to take a picture with their favorite Osaka Pro wrestler after the Sunday show.  The participating wrestlers include only Seikigun and Unique Gundan however.

In other news, the full card for the 3/26 Osaka/BJW show Move On Arena show was announced with some interesting matches lined up.  A huge main event sees BKK & Daisuke Sekimoto face Yuji Okabayashi & Harada.  Harada will be looking to perhaps even the score against Sekimoto after losing to him in singles action back in October.  Mihara has another singles test, this time against Yoshihito Sasaki.  A six-man tag sees Kotoge led BJW youngsters Atsushi Ohashi & Tsukamoto against the heel trio of Buffalo, “Kokutenshi” Jaki Numazawa & Tadasuke.  Shadow WX is in a comedy 3WAY against Kanjyuro and Takoyakida while Cooger takes on Ryuichi Kawakami in the opener.

Billyken Kid & Yutaka got their partnership off to a good start today, defeating LOV’s Tigers Mask & Black Buffalo in the main event.  Tigers & Buffalo viciously assaulted Yutaka’s right knee, but Yutaka managed to cradle Buffalo in the end for the pinfall.  BKK officially made the challenge to Momo no Seishun Tag for a tag title shot, with Atsushi Kotoge & Daisuke Harada appearing.  Kotoge was just about to accept when Hideyoshi interrupted.  Hideyoshi proposed that BKK & Yutaka face himself & Masamune next week to determine the next tag team challengers.  BKK & Yutaka accepted the match so it’ll be them taking on former tag champions Sengoku next week, with the winners moving forward to facing Kotoge & Harada.

Meanwhile, no conclusion was reached in the feud between Asian Cooger and the Bodyguard.  Both men ended up being counted out after some intense fighting.  Cooger suggested a complete conclusion for next week under hardcore rules with no countouts.

Finally, Tadasuke acted as Orochi’s speaker after the first match and blasted Miracleman.  Miracle of course didn’t take too kindly to the insults and declared war on Orochi.

LOV’s Tigers Mask, Black Buffalo & Tadasuke ventured into DRAGON GATE and came out victorious in the main event, defeating the championship trio of CIMA, Gamma & Super Shisa.  Tigers got some revenge on Shisa again, avoiding the Yoshitonic and striking the Brave Game Champion with the Mangetsu no Yoru for the pinfall.  CIMA had some choice words for Tadasuke afterwards, mocking the newly dyed red hair of the LOV powerhouse.  Shisa also vowed to get his own revenge, perhaps invading the Osaka Pro mat to do so.
