Neo Japan Pro Wrestling - Denkoo Puroresu - 2/7/99 PART 1

[The Osaka Prefectural Gym is electric as the customarily reserved fans are showing their 
appreciation. After some brief adjustments for the TV crew, Seiji Oyuki starts the evening
off...]

/_/|_/\___/_/   |__/|__/_________________________________________/

Seiji Oyuki: This match is scheduled for one fall and has a 30 minute time limit.. Weighing in at
109 kilograms, hailing from Saitama, Japan... Yoshi Toyoda!

[a moderate pop for Yoshi Toyoda who is no stranger to rings in Japan. He sports long black 
tights with yellow padded stripes down each leg. He rubs his portly stomach to the delight of the
fans. The crowd is in a most unusual mood. Finally after making his entrance Toyoda takes his 
position in the opposite corner]

Seiji Oyuki: And his opponent... fighting out of Anchorage, Alaska USA, weighing in at 106 
kilograms... Apex!

[In the instant it takes Apex to make his entrance and for his music to kick in, all the crowd's 
excitement turns to a kind of hesitant fear. Even Toyoda takes a step back as Apex walks slowly, 
with his face covered by his unkempt part black, part blonde hair; His frame isn't covered by the
normal wrestling attire but instead chooses to wear mauled, baggy blue jeans. His shirt is black 
and soiled with dirt but is bears the quotation "Smile! Your Dead" in bold white letters. The 
announcer quickly leaves the ring as Akira Tenaka signals for the bell]

{ding ding ding}

Genichiro Matsumura: Yoshi Toyoda runs full on across the ring and nails Apex in the face with a 
running dropkick!

Takao Fugawra: Facial, FACIAL!

Genichiro Matsumura: The arena with chants of "Toyoda, Toyoda". Toyoda stops and rubs his tummy 
before grabbing Apex's arm and irish-whiping him across the ring.  Apex rebounds off the ropes as
Yoshi charges foward looking to execute his "Stomach Strike" but Apex gets a knee up..

Takao Fugawra: You're right.. that guy IS portly! You see Frankenstein's knee get sucked up in 
all the pudge? HA HA HA!

Genichiro Matsumura: Apex with a GUTWRENCH SUPLEX.. whips him off the ropes.. POWERSLAM! Now he's
climbing the top rope, steadies himself, and leaps off with an incredible DIVING HEADBUTT!

Takao Fugawra: Now there's proof of a thick skull!

Genichiro Matsumura: He's exhibiting some decent skills here in the early going, but I'm sure 
that in-ring attire does not sit well with the other more traditional athletes in the locker 
room..

Takao Fugawra: You going to stop payment on his first check?

Genichiro Matsumura: No.. but this get-up looks more suited to cards held in some bingo hall, not
here.. still got to do my job -or one of them- back to the action....Apex pulls Toyoda's legs 
apart and drops a knee to his groin.  Yoshi rolls over, clutching his stomach..his only signs of 
life at this point.  Apex doesn't mind this reaction much as he uses the ropes for momentum and 
drops a *huge* running LEGDROP across the back of Yoshi's head. 

Takao Fugawra: I think they call that.. crackin' Humpty Dumpty's eggshell!

Genichiro Matsumura: You are in need of some medication.. Apex climbs to the top turnbuckle once 
again, attempting what looks like a flying kneedrop but Toyoda rolls out of the way.  Toyoda 
presses the momentary advantage with a low running dropkick to the face.  Toyoda favors his neck 
some which he shakes to try to work the pain out, but with the crowd's enthusiastic support he 
irish-whips Apex into the corner turnbuckle.. Yoshi backs up to gain speed, then moves quickly
ramming the forearm into Apex's jaw and follows that up with many stiff, quick forearms to the 
face.  

Takao Fugawra: Somebody ringside must have promised Chubby a large pizza pie if he won..

Genichiro Matsumura: To the surprise and delight of the crowd Yoshi continues his attack with 
quick chops to Apex's chest landing the final one to his face. The crowd stamps their feet in 
approval! Yoshi rubs his stomach, yet again, which costs him as Apex throws his foot up between 
Yoshi's legs delivering another low blow.  Akira Tenaka, the referee, admonishes Apex who really 
doesn't seem to care.  Apex  displays more savage quickness as he smashed Toyoda in the turnbuckles 
and fires away with stomps, elbows, chops and most especially knees to Yoshi's stomach. Apex 
moves Toyoda's hefty frame from out of  the corner and hooks him for a vertical suplex.  

Takao Fugawra: He's going to hurt his back lifting Chubbsy Ubbsy like that..

Genichiro Matsumura: Would you leave him alone? Apex aims Falcon Arrow, a vertical suplex into a
modified sitting powerbomb...

Takao Fugawra: Crucial! Oh man.. hey, we know what the move is..

Genichiro Matsumura: Right.. Peels the hapless Toyoda off the mat..DDT!! Apex dropped Toyoda 
headfirst nearly into the canvas with his DDT.  Apex looks menacingly at Akira Tenaka who seeing
Apex applying the cover, hastily counts the pinfall.

One..




Two..




Three!!!


{ding ding ding}


[Before his hand can even be raised and before the ring announcer makes his the win known, Apex 
muscles Toyoda up to his feet again and delivers another DDT, Toyoda's head sickeningly bouncing 
off the canvas. Apex doesn't even wait for the announcer or the referee and trods away to the 
locker room with only the chorus of boos as his music]

GM: "Our next match is sure to impress all international skeptics! We have the team of El Maestro
and Maestro de Condenacion facing The Crush Guys!"

TF: "I think this time we'll see a change. The only reason those flyweight freaks scored a victory
over 'Team Disrespect' on SJPW Zenmen Sensou, was that gaijin goon "Hard Head" Byron Brady!"

GM: "Notwithstanding Mr. Brady's presence, this should be an electrifying match. Let's go to the 
ring..."

Ring Announcer: "Ladies and Gentlemen, our next match, is scheduled for one fall, and has a 20 
Minute Time Limit. About to enter the Arena, from Kyoto, Japan...at a total combined weight of
239 kilograms...Jo Nagai, Toshiro Watanabe...CRUSH GUYS!"

["War Pigs" by Black Sabbath blasts through out the Osaka Prefectual Gym, as Crush Guys make 
their entrance. They walk methodically to the ring, sporting snarling looks on their faces. 
Toshiro Wantabe "shadowboxes" in the aisle. They have on long black vinyl pants, which go just 
under their knees, that, in white on the left side says 'Crush' and on the right side says 
'Guys'. They get in the ring, and gesture to the crowd. In return the receive a chorus of 
catcalls. They then take their place in the corner.]

Ring Announcer: "And, their opponents...

["Push" by Matchbox 20 plays over the arena]

...First, from Hiroshima, Japan weighing 98 kilograms...MAESTRO DE CONDENACION!"

[Maestro de Condenacion approaches the ring wearing his usual ring attire, plus a black jacket.
The fans applaud Maestro politely, as he slowly approaches the ring, acknowledging fans on both
sides of the aisle. When he reaches the ring, he climbs  to the top rope, to acknowledge the 
crowd...then jumps down in the ring.   He removes his jacket, and stretches, to prepare for the 
match.]

Ring Announcer: "And his partner...from Guadalajara, Mexico...weighing 92 kilgorams...EL MAESTRO
JR.!"

[The music continues, as El Maestro Jr. enthusiastically makes his way to ringside to a grand
applause from the crowd. He gets in the ring, flipping over the ropes in an athletic display,
and meets Maestro de Condenacion in the corner.]

[ding, ding, ding]

GM: "Well, we're underway here, and, it's looks like it's going to be El Maestro Jr. and Toshiro
Wantanabe starting it off."
 
TF: "Everybody in Mexico have bet all their pesos on Maestro Jr.'s team winning. It's a shame
he's gonna lose."

GM: "The outcome of this match has yet to be determined! They now circle each other...feeling 
each other out here...Who will strike first? It will be Wantanabe! He's now viciously kicking 
away at El Maestro Jr.!"

TF: "What's with the name 'Maestro'? I don't see them conducting music! That makes them peabrains
for choosing a moniker, and not even having the smarts to look up the word in a dictionary!"

GM: [shakes his head] "Working with you will kill me sooner or later."

TF: "Awww, darn! I was hoping Sooner *than* later!"

GM: "El Maestro Jr. is taking quite the beating in the ring already, as Toshiro Wantanabe has him
hooked into a painful looking Manji Gatame! Toshiro looks like a spider on the back of Maestro 
Jr.!"

TF: "Oooo! Great analogy!"

GM: "Akira Tenaka checking in to see if Maestro wants to give up...and NO! Maestro will fight to 
the death before he quits!"

TF: "In that case, Akira should ask him what he wants on his tombstone!"

GM: "Toshiro now releases the hold, and tags in his lethal counterpart Jo Nagai! Nagai now 
hammers away on El Maestro Jr.'s torso with chops! You can hear the smack on the skin too!
Maestro stumbles out of the corner, and OVERHEAD BELLY TO BELLY SUPLEX BY NAGAI!"

TF: "Dearly beloved, we're gathered here today..."

GM: "Will you quit it?! Nagai now stands menacingly over Maestro Jr. who's withering in pain...
Nagai has a hold of his legs, and GIANT SWING! AROUND AND AROUND WE GO! Nagai lets go of him, and
goes for the pin! One...Two...Kickout by El Maestro Jr.! Now, Nagai grabs him, and, whips him into
the ropes...REVERSAL! Nagai on the rebound...YAKUZA KICK by El Maestro Jr.! Let's see if he can
make the tag!"

TF: "NO! THAT WAS CHEATING! Pure CHEATING!"

GM: "That required no cheating tactics whatsoever! Maestro now reaches....reach...AND MAESTRO DE
CONDENACION IS IN! A house of fire! Lefts and rights to Jo Nagai! THRUST KICK TAKES NAGAI DOWN!"

TF: "A house of fire, huh? I hope he burns to the ground.."

GM: "Maestro now has Nagai on his feet, and, TIGER DRIVER! Maestro now hits the ropes, and...
SENTON! Tremendous series of moves by Maestro de Condenacion!"

TF: "Maestro de Condewhatcion?"

GM: [sighs] "Takao...Takao. Maestro de Condenacion now has Nagai up, and ROLLING JUJI GATAME! 
Amazing maneuver, and Akira Tenaki checks if Jo Nagai wants to give up..."

TF: "Of course not! Jo Nagai is the strongest man to ever come out of Kyoto! I heard when he was
a young boy...his dentist was also a butcher a.."

GM: "What ever possessed me to hire you?! Maestro now picks him up, and Irish Whip into the turn
buckle! OW! Jo Nagai went sternum-first into that turnbuckle! He stmbles back, and GERMAN RELEASE
SUPLEX BY MAESTRO DE CONDENACION! JO NAGAI LANDED RIGHT ON HIS NECK!"

TF: "That DID NOT look good..."

GM: "Indeed it did not! Maestro de Condenacion covers, and One...Two...Three! No! Jo Nagai kicked
out! Uncanny endurance displayed by Jo Nagai! Maestro scoop him up...and FALCON ARROW! Maestro
de Condenacion is really working over Jo Nagai's neck!"

TF: "Maestro is EVIL! He's trying to put Jo Nagai in a wheelchair!"

GM: "Maestro de Condenacion runs...and springboards off the ropes...SPRINGBOARD DDT! NO! NO! JO
NAGAI CAUGHT HIM WITH A NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX!"

TF: "Yes! Wasn't that the greatest move you've EVER seen?"

GM: "Nagai now crawling to make a tag to Toshiro Wantanabe...and...he makes it! Toshiro now enters
and goes to work on Maestro! He now grab the legs, and a Standing Boston Crab! But, Toshiro has one leg
pushing down on the back of Maestro de Condenacion's head! THAT LOOKS PAINFUL!"

TF: "YES! CRUSH GUYS ARE INVINCIBLE!"

GM: "Toshiro now releases the hold, picks him up, and...POWERBOMB! NO! Reversed into a RANA!
Great move by Maestro de Condenacion!"

TF: "C'mon! Put the last nail in this guy's casket, Toshiro!"

GM: "Maestro now has him up...LIGER BOMB! ONE....TWO...THREE! NO! Wanatabe kicked out! Maestro's 
attack is now relentless! He has him on his back, and DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! Maestro now tags out
to his partner El Maestro Jr.! Jr. SPRINGBOARDS over the ropes, and LEGDROP ACROSS THE THROAT
OF TOSHIRO WANTANABE!"

TF: "I'm baffled as to why Maestro didn't cover Toshiro, instead of tagging. But, I don't really
care anyway."

GM: "El Maestro Jr. is mounting up to top rope...SHOOTING STAR PRESS! INCREDIBLE MOVE BY EL 
MAESTRO JR.! He cover...One...Two...THR...No! He didn't get him! So close! Maestro now picks him
up and drags him to the center of the ring...DDT! Maestro now with a FUJIWARA WAKIGATAME ARMBAR!"

TF: "What? Did you say a Takao Fugawra Armbar?"

GM: "NO! Maestro now realeases the hold, and turns Toshiro over...STANDING MOONSAULT! One...Two..
Kickout! Legdrop, and another cover! One...Two..Three! NO! What can put Toshiro Wantanabe away?"

TF: "Nothing! Matsumura-san, do you not understand? IN-VINC-I-BLE. Got it?"

GM: "Well, it certainly seems that way, as the repertoires of El Maestro Jr. and Maestro de 
Condenacion have been looked to many times in attempts to put Crush Guys away..but, they have
not sucseeded yet. Maestro now gesture IPPONZEOI! Toshiro's up again...IPPONZEOI AGAIN! Toshiro
up...Maestro pushes him front-face into the turnbuckle! Toshiro wobbles out...Maestro catches him
with a JAPANESE OCEAN SUPLEX! And...Maestro doesn't follow up! He tags out to Maestro de 
Condenacion!"

TF: "What a fool!"

GM: "Maestro de Condenacion steps into the ring..pulls Toshiro Wantanabe up...NORTHERN LIGHTS 
BOMB! MAJOR MOVE! Maestro now has these fans rialed up!"

TF: "What was so major about that? I could've did that with my eyes closed, and my arms tied 
behind my back!"

GM: "Maestro now with Toshiro...ATOMIC DROP! He sneaks up behind...RUSSIAN LEGSWEEP! And, he's 
got him hooked into a Manji Gatame on the mat! He calls that the OCTAGON SPECIAL! And...Toshiro
Wantanabe is quick to tap out...let's go to the ring for the official word..."

[ding, ding, ding]

Ring Announcer: "In a time of 7:12, your winners.. Maestro de Condenacion and El Maestro Jr.!
