No Takahashi return yet? :gucci:

He's surely going to show up at KOPW. If not I'm gonna get worried.

What happened?

The rumor is that there's an ambulance company that basically works every show at Hammerstein. Someone called them up Saturday morning and told them the show was canceled and they didn't have to come.

This led to the show starting 90 minutes late because New York state law requires an ambulance on standby. Now people are guessing what really happened. It would have to be someone who knows how Hammerstein Ballroom works and the ambulance company to sabotage which could be anyone.

It also had to be a person that's somewhat credible, right? I hope that ambulance company has some due diligence if a random motherfukker calls them saying a whole show is cancelled :heh:

Okami vs Kohei Sato & Shinjiro Ohtani - Zero1 9/14/19
Kohei Sato & Shinjiro Otani vs. Okami (Daichi Hashimoto & Hideyoshi Kamitani)

This match has it's moments, specially in the middle with Daichi and Ohtani (who trained him and took him under his wing when he first started) slapping each other and Daichi trying to prove that the old man ain't shyt no more. Overall it never really reaches a high level though, it's like a good tag match you'd see on TV with a couple of dope moments sprinkled in different parts.


Daisuke Sekimoto vs Yuji Hino - Zero1 World Title 9/14/19
Daisuke Sekimoto (c) vs. Yuji Hino

INCREDIBLE hoss battle, and a better kaju battle than Zeus vs Okabayashi (which is fukking saying something) :wow: it's a more condensed and more violent version of their draw from February, they also reversed roles, as Hino was the babyface having to fight from beneath. They beat the shyt out of each other - the lariat exchanges near the end were as sick as their first match, my Terry Funk -, they do it in a slow(er) pace than most would, but it works for them because you can feel the damage every strike has. They do an awesome job at struggling for moves and trying to get the upper hand. This is a back and forth match, but every transition is earned. Hino was amazing here, his selling was out of this world and the spot were he grabs Sekimoto's leg to prevent him from hitting a match-ending lariat, to then slowly fight his way to hit a german suples is one of my favorite spots in a match this year, might be my favorite.Daisuke has a couple of big no sells but I could live with them because it didn't actually lead to any excess, it was just to make him look like a monster that Hino had to slay.

@TheGodling breh you better watch this shyt ASAP because I'm sure you are gonna love it. @Scottie Drippin @SubZeroDegrees the year of the Daisuke continues :blessed: @Legal @Makai Club @3Rivers @stro you don't wanna miss this one. @TrueEpic08 pretty sure you'll like this one better than the draw

This generation of Young Lions is cursed. Oh, well. Okada will carry this company for ten more years.

Hirai Kawato, who had been in Mexico since the summer, hasn’t wrestled in months because he took ill and returned to Japan. The illness must be serious because we’re told it’s not certain if he’ll wrestle again.

As far as Tomoyuki Oka goes, he disappeared even farther back after he was sent to RevPro and nobody seems to know what happened to him.

What the fukk man :mjcry: I remember being so umped for Oka and Kitamura when they first signed. Both didn't even get 1 match post excursion. Can't say I knew much about Kawato.
