GRAND SHIP 2022 in NAGOYA PRO-WRESTLING & KEIJI MUTOH RETIREMENT ROAD - LOVE FOREVER.2 ~OUT BREAK~ (Sunday September 25th, Dolphins Arena, Aichi Prefectural Gymnasium, Nagoya)

The new champions got jumped by the Kongoh Juniors, Tadasuke and Hi69. Tadasuke wielding a chair which he used to batter Kotoge with before beating him down, while Hi69 got Yoshioka's knee in a lock. The bell rang for order, which wasn't resolved until Tadasuke challenged for the belts and then attacked Kotoge with the belt before grinding the chair seat into his face and wiping Kotoge's blood into his (Tadasuke's) hair. 

STAR NAVIGATION 2022 (Friday October 7th, Korakuen Hall, Tokyo)

The Noah Junior Regulars (Atsushi Kotoge, Seiki Yoshioka, YO-HEY & Alejandro) vs Kongoh Juniors (Shuji Kondo, Tadasuke, Hajime Ohara & Hi69)

Match started in the usual way, a melee brawl. Tadasuke the focus of Kotoge and Alejandro's rage. Kotoge hurting one side of Tadasuke's face, which provoked wild Tadasuke who attacked with his own vengeance. 

As the smallest, unfortunately Alejandro got the brunt from Shuji Kondo as Kondo knew Alejandro was no match for him, and with a smile worthy of the sadistic STINGER members, he held his leg preventing him from crawling and tagging in

The match was chaos with Kondo dominant. He and Tadasuke made a formidable team

WINNER: Tadasuke with the Jidanda Lariat on Seiki Yoshioka (11 minutes, 45 seconds)

Backstage, Tadasuke said that the title match might officially be on the 30th October, but as far as they (Kongoh Juniors, himself and Hi69) were concerned, it started tonight. 

STAR NAVIGATION 2022 (Saturday October 8th, Korakuen Hall, Tokyo)

Atsushi Kotoge vs Tadasuke

Tadasuke was accompanied by Hi69, Atsushi Kotoge was on his own as there was no one - YO-HEY and Yoshioka were beaten up by STINGER, Junta Miyawaki is in Mexico and Daisuke Harada is injured. 

Tadasuke was particularly wild and strong Tadasuke in this match. When Kotoge fell with his head resting on the bottom rung of the iron barriers, Tadasuke lifted it up and dropped it making his head jar.

Tadasuke gave Kotoge a chance to recover following a sustained attack as he became engaged with wandering around the ring and making belt motions, this can be exploited and to Tadasuke it was all too easy as Kotoge exploited this same behavior following a big boot. This is not the same as when he grows wild and powers up that heavyweight strength, then there is no stopping him and this is what happened. The Jidanda Lariat was accompanied by a faint scream.

WINNER: Tadasuke with the Jidanda Lariat (11 minutes, 21 seconds)

Tadasuke took a tag belt and threw it over Kotoge before leaving. 

SUNNY VOYAGE 2022 (Kumamoto Castle Hall Civic Hall, Friday October 14th)

Kaito Kiyomiya, Daiki Inaba, Yoshiki Inamura & The Noah Junior Regulars (Seiki Yoshioka & Atsushi Kotoge) vs Kongoh (Kenoh, Katsuhiko Nakajima, Manabu Soya, Tadasuke & Hi69)

I am unsure of any details of the match at the time of writing as it was not streamed live, but the match was not won by either of the champions or their challengers. 

SUNNY VOYAGE 2022, Saturday 15th October (Sun Arena, Sendai)

Seiki Yoshioka vs Hi69

Winner: Seiki Yoshioka with Buzzsaw Kick (13 minutes, 20 seconds)

Yoshioka stood over Hi69 holding the tag belt afterwards, I think Hi69 may have been attacking his knees, so Yoshioka was limping. Backstage Yoshioka said his knees were in tatters, but he was never going to give up the belt.

The Noah Junior Regulars (Atsushi Kotoge, Seiki Yoshioka, YO-HEY & Alejandro) vs Kongoh (Shuji Kondo, Tadasuke, Hajime Ohara & Hi69)

Usual chaos, and despite the top rope elimination rule that meant no one could throw themselves over the top ropes, it didn't stop them from rushing the ring and Tadasuke almost eliminated Atsushi Kotoge very early on. This would come back for Tadasuke later, and not in such a helpful manner. 

Alejandro eliminated Hajime Ohara (Pinfall, 7 minutes & 5 seconds)

Hi69 eliminated Alejandro (Stuka Splash, 8 minutes & 52 seconds)

Tadasuke eliminated Seiki Yoshioka AND Shuji Kondo (Over the top rope, 16 minutes & 27 seconds)

Tadasuke eliminated YO-HEY (Over the top rope, 17 minutes & 42 seconds)

Atsushi Kotoge eliminated Tadasuke (KillSwitch, 18 minutes & 10 seconds)

Atsushi Kotoge eliminated Hi69 (Pinfall, 20 minutes, 26 seconds)

Winner: Atsushi Kotoge

Title Match

[Muto Retirement Road] ABEMA presents Ariake Gaisen-THE RETURN-PRO-WRESTLING LOVE FOREVER . 3 ~TRIUMPH~

The GHC Junior Heavyweight Tag started off with an attack so vicious by Kongoh (Tadasuke and HI69) that Seiki Yoshioka had to drag a semi conscious Atsushi Kotoge to the corner in order to tag him in. While Kotoge recovered his wits, Tadasuke attacked Yoshioka's knee, even headbanging while twisting it around. Kotoge, however, recovered and came back in usual style to heroically win the match, with a little help from a well timed kick from Yoshioka. 

WINNER: Atsushi Kotoge with the Water Wheel Drop (also known as "Bat Hanging) (13 minutes, 8 seconds)

VS Kongo Juniors (Shuji Kondo and Hajime Ohara)

The battered champions had no time to rest, and Kotoge practically fainted after the match. Tadasuke and HI69 might have failed, but Kongoh had two more juniors, Hajime Ohara and Shuji Kondo, Kondo said briefly, "Hey! We are the next challengers", and they attacked the champions.

SUNNY VOYAGE 2022, Kiramesse Numazu (Thursday, November 3rd)

In the day after interview, Shuji Kondo had given a test to Hajime Ohara and the champions, by telling them that if they wanted to win, they should attack Ohara's legs as they were injured. The Noah Junior Regulars didn't do this in the tag match (and the one and only pre match) at Kiramesse Numazu, although Shuji Kondo warned them afterwards that they would have won had they done so. As it happened, Kondo defeated Yoshioka with the King Kong Lariat. Fans at the venue said they were wondering how the champions were going to win. 

TITLE MATCH

GLOBAL2days WRESTLE UNIVERSE presents Global Honored Crown, Thursday November 10th 2022, Korakuen Hall, Tokyo

The battle damaged champions came out looking fresh, while Daisuke Harada was on commentary and YO-HEY was at ringside with Alejandro. There was no sign of AMAKUSA though, so I guess he has decided to be a lone wolf. 

The champions got a mauling from their challengers, and were slammed all over the arena. Shuji Kondo, who had a waltz in his step, was enjoying this you could tell. Atsushi Kotoge was even thrown by his hair on to Seiki Yoshioka at one point. They were no match for the power of Kondo, and the exhausted champions were worn down, although they did discover (as HAYATA had done) that kicks are very effective against Kondo. The end of the match came after Yoshioka had been taken out by Kondo, and rather than go for the pin, Ohara (as his way) went for the submission and Yoshioka gave out and tapped.

WINNER: Hajime Ohara with The Mui Bien (20 minutes, 37 seconds)

Atsushi Kotoge disputed the win with the champions and told them they would be back, Ohara shoved the belt in his face and told him to get lost. While Yoshioka left leaning on the seconds, Kotoge left in what looked like tears. Later he begged the new champions for a rematch, which they granted. The titles will be defended on the 23rd November at the National Yoyogi Stadium 2nd Gymnasium. There will be no pre match. 

Next champions: Kongoh Juniors (Hajime Ohara & Shuji Kondo)
