[Deleted]

Gaora TV & Fuyuki-gun
Present
FREEDOM
Taped:December 1st, 1993
Air Date: December 2nd 1993

Just to give you an idea of what to expect here, your ring announcer is Japanese AVN Idol (porn star):

Kimiko Matsuzaka

In a pair of short shorts, black bikini top and a bow tie. Jumping up and down every so often as she announces the "Fuyuji-gun" players which the four (Hisakatsu Oya, Gedo, Jado & Hido respectively) locking arms and making a tent as Hiromichi Fuyuki is finally introduced.

Fuyuki at this point gets some microphone time. This is a new beginning for everyone here, in particular Fuyuki-gun. So since its a new beginning he's reinventing HIMSELF and will now answer to Kodo Fuyuki. Kodo meaning heart beat, as he will be the heart and soul of this new venture and all ventures Fuyuki-gun finds themselves in going forward. He admires are announcers large breast for a bit before presenting Gedo & Jado with yellow sports coats, as they will be handling the commentating for Gaora TV.

He says everyone both here and in the back have been given specific instructions, TO HAVE FUN out here in this very ring. We've got a bucket load of surprises, so let us not waste any more time, our INTER PROMOTIAL, Gender battle begins right now! Jado & Gedo head to the announce table and here we go.

The first mystery contestants is introduced and its on the female side, resident FMW bad ass..

Combat Toyoda!!

Her partner is not her typical partner but rather her long time rival and baby face beauty, also from FMW it's...

Megumi Kudo!!!

Neither woman seems to happy about this. Their oppostion? Billed from "the King Of Sports" and coming out to Riki Choshu's NJPW theme music in a terrible, terrible mask with a black wig stapled to it, it's apparently....

CHOSHU MASK!

Gedo & Jado share a laugh as the Riki Choshu parody plays with his towel, tries to toss it in the crowd but fails.

His partner? Also from "King Of Sports", with painted on sideburns and a wig that keeps falling off it's...

ANCHINO CHINOKI! (Played by resident FMW old man jobber Mr. Chin of course)!

ado does a spit take, crowd shares a laugh.. Gedo claims that Chinoki has never looked this good. And our first match is complete and total comedy as Fuyuki is taking a shot at his former employer.

Opening Match
Gender Vs. Gender

Combat Toyoda & Megumi Kudo (FMW)

Vs.

Choshu Mask & Anchino Chinoki (Not NJPW)

Its total comedy with the men being scared shit less of Toyda in the early going. Choshu mask actually hits a lariat on Kudo, but can't remember how to do the scorpion and gets rolled up for two. Chinoki's inspired offense is no sold by Combat, even the enziguri is completely ignored. The finish see's skinny old man Chinoki take a Kudo Driver (vertabreaker) giving Kudo and Toyoda then win.

Your Winners: " Combat Toyoda & Megumi Kudo at 7:13 via pinfall."

Post Match-

Hido is out to congratulate the winners and takes to the microphone where he asks both women to spend the night with him in his hotel room. Combat slaps the taste out of his mouth, Kudo dropkicks him out of the ring. Then takes an out of nowhere lariat from Toyoda as Gedo and Jado laugh about their buddies misfortune, Combat stands tall.

Hido recovers after she leaves and hits on ring announcer Kimiko, getting a little too grabby and gets slapped taking a bump over the top rope as Gedo and Jado yuck it up. Gedo & Jado help their buddy up and pitch him into the ring, he's in action NEXT!

His oppostion? Representing the UWA out of Mexico it's

DOS CARAS!

Fuyuki-gun Goes Lucha

Hido (FREEDOM)

Vs.

Dos Caras (UWA)

[/size]
Its a fun little bout, nothing special really but the legendary Caras does a fine job in carrying the rookie Hido thru the bout. Hido almost scores the upset after a chair shot and a pile driver but Dos kicks out at 2. Top rope dropkick from Caras sets up a stump puller variant giving the UWA star the victory at just about 10 minutes.

Your Winner: " Dos Caras in 10:02 via submission."

Our next contest is an interpromotional match first from W*ING (surprise, surprise) it's everyone favorite masked man...

The W*INGER!!

And his opponent , representing Network Of Wrestling (NOW), its the SNAKE KING...

POISON SAWADA!!!

W*ING Vs. NOW

The W*Inger (W*ING)

Vs.

Poison Sawada (NOW)

Hardcore wrestling Vs. a man with magic snake powers. Silly stuff. Some brawling thru the crowd. W*INGER does a dive from the top to the floor that would be impressive if it wasn't sloppy. Sawada hypnotizes W*INGER briefly and scores with a choke slam for a near fall. W*inger snaps out of it, hits a tiger driver for two. Sawada's woozy as W*inger approaches..POISON MIST! W*Inger isn't just blinded, the green mist forces him to convulse violently in the ring and then nothing, he's lifeless as Sawada covers for three with one foot.

Your Winner: "Poison Sawada in 12:40 via pinfall."

Post Match- Medics hit the ring, and get this, W*Inger is pronounced dead (yup) and a casket shows up to cart him away. Easily the most ridiculous angle I've ever seen play out. Sawada just killed a man, what in the world are we watching?

Before our next bout, Hido's back out to take over at the booth as Gedo & Jado are in action NEXT. Gedo takes to the microphone to jokingly dedicate the match to the W*Inger. Their oppostion, representing WAR (another HUGE surprise) fresh off an appearance in New Japan it's..

Masao Orihara & Yuji Yasuroka!!!

Street Fight

Gedo & Jado (FREEDOM)

Vs.

Masao Orihara & Yuji Yasuroka (WAR)

[/center]

Orihara & Yuji are in jeans and WAR t-shirts. Best match of the night so far, although it really isn't all that good. The stip leads to endless brawling around ring side. Gedo & Jado get some help from Hido at points so it's not a fair fight which bogged the match down some. Orihara hits his awesome moonsault off the top and to the floor out onto Gedo. Finish see's Jado break up a Yuji butter fly with a crutch shot to the back, Gedo follows with the Gedo clutch and that's that.

Your Winners: " Gedo & Jado via pinfall at 17:07. "

Post Match- A police officer (played by Toryu who also played Choshu mask) is at ringside now and he's asking for the microphone. He claims he's here to bring Sawada in on murder charges but can't find him. Gedo & Jado introduce him to Hido, and tell the officer that Hido is a perv and should be jailed this gets laughs. Kodo Fuyuki is out now to smooth things over with the officer. This stuff is just too out there man.

Intermission/ Extended Ad Break

We're back and its in memory of the W*Inger as we get a quick 10 bell salute. Kodo Fuyuki is out with Officer Toryu, and the ridiculous storyline continues. Poison Sawada is out and he pleads with Kodo not to turn him in, going as far as to say he can bring the W*inger back. The casket is wheeled out, Toryu has his cuffs ready... Sawada does some chanting and what not, casket pops open... And the W*Inger is now Zombie W*Inger! Complete with green body paint and white dust! He chases Officer Toryu to the back! Kodo is amused and pats Sawada on the back as if to say "job well done" Again, what the hell am I watching?

Gedo & Jado in their Vince McMahon inspired yellow sports coats are back to officially announce that the W*Inger is now UN-dead! And with that its time for our first of two mystery title matches.

First, representing himself, its the mad man from the Sudan..

ABDULLAH THE BUTCHER!!

and his partner, another free sprit... He's homicidal, suicidal, and genocidal...

SABU!!!!!

And their opponents, the W*ING tag team champions...

THE HEADHUNTERS!!!

Talk about a foursome right there!

W*ing Tag Team championships
Barbed Wire Baseball Bat Scramble

Champions: The Headhunters

Vs.

Sabu & Abdullah the Butcher

This is something, the idea is great the execution is okay. Sabu and the Hunters put their bodies on the line enough, Abby doesn't really do much of anything. Sabu puts a Hunter thru a table, a Hunter tries to put Abby thru one but he slowly gets up, walks over and slams the Hunter off and thru it in a lame looking spot. Everyone is bleeding. The bat gets used by everyone. And the finish? A NO CONTEST. YEP.... I guess no one wanted to do the job on the Sabu/ Abdullah team so we do a spot where all four men beat on the ref. Jado & Gedo ditch the headsets and get involved prompting the second official to toss it out all together. Terrible stuff.

Official Result: " No Contest at 13:38. "

Post Match- Jado & Gedo brawl with Hunters into the back. Sabu & Aby brawl with each other. Sabu sets his partner up on a table on the outside, sets up a chair on the inside.. Triple jump flip splash, NO!! Abby moves out of the way and Sabu puts HIMSELF thru the table to a huge reaction!

Hido is out now with WAR's Masao Orihara with him and they're apparently our new commentating team as we're told Gedo & Jado are still brawling with the HeadHunters..

Hisakatsu Oya

is out now as its time for our semifinal with Oya challenging for a mystery championship. And the mystery champion is former IWGP tag team champion and current FMW Brass Knuckles Heavyweight Champion...

AWESOME GLADIATOR!!

FMW Brass Knuckles Heavyweight

Champion: Awesome Gladiator (FMW)

Vs.

Hisakatsu Oya (FREEDOM)

[/size]

We FINALLY have ourselves a match here that is generally good, no question about it. No silly gimmick to bog it down, or outside interference. Just straight up action with some simple but effective story telling. Oya gets bullied around in there but just refuses to go down, willing himself up time and time again. Finish see's Awesome try an Awesome Bomb but Oya counters to a backdrop. Awesome pops right up, wild lariat is ducked and Oya drops him on his head with a dangerous backdrop suplex! Cover.

1..

2..

Awesome pops the shoulder just before 3!

Oya tries for another but the champ breaks free off a elbow to the jaw! Lariat followed by a sit out Awesome Bomb finishes Oya off for good! Awesome retains!

Your winner and STILL champion: "Awesome Gladiator at 14:42 via pinfall"

And now it's main event time... Noo, wait! Gedo, Jado & the HeadHunters are back! Brawling into the crowd and down into the ring! Its apparently a match now as the bell suddenly sounds..

Non- Title?

HeadHunters (W*ing)

Vs.

Gedo & Jado (FREEDOM)

It's garbage wrestling at its finest, with blood flowing, chair shots, ridiculous bumps and brawling all over the building. Pure chaos, that Hido uses to his advantage as he slings Kimiko over his shoulder and carries her kicking and screaming to the back! We have a kidnapping in the middle of the match fans! Ridiculous. A winded Oya takes Hido's spot on commentary. Meanwhile in the ring, Gedo accidentally takes out Jado with a chair, promoting a Head Hunter (who Orihara calls the fat one, just think about that) to finish Jado with an amazing top rope moonsault to I guess retain their championships at 13 minutes of chaos.

Your Winners and STILL Champions: " The HeadHunters at 13:00."

We get a second brief intermission to allow Gedo & Jado to get cleaned up and head back out to commentary for our main event.

Our first surprise for the main event is, representing FMW and coming out to "Wild Thing" with a tremendous ovation it's...

ATSUSHI ONITA & TARZAN GOTO!!!

But that's not the only surprise as Geinichiro Tenryu's Revolution stable music plays and KODO FUYUKI IS OUT WITH TENRYU IN HIS REVOLUTION WARM UP JACKET! FUYUKI HAS RENEWED HIS TEAM WITH HIS MENTOR FOR OUR MAIN EVENT! WAR VS FMW!

Main Event
FMW Vs WAR

Atsushi Onita & Tarzan Goto (FMW)

Vs.

Revolution: Kodo Fuyuki (FREEDOM) & Genichiro Tenryu

Everyone is over huge here, even Fuyuki. Hands down the match of the night, feels like a big one and is just that. Stiff, hard hitting and extremely heated. Loads of near falls at the end. Match would not feel out of place on either a WAR or heck AJPW show. Just an awesome way to send the fans home happy. Very different from everything else on the show. Some great interactions with Tenryu/Onita. Finish see's Fuyuki score with not one but two charging lariats to out Goto away at the 25 minute mark. Awesome stuff really. Everyone was surprised to see Tenryu on the show given his ties to NJPW.

Your Winners: " Kodo Fuyuki & Genichiro Tenryu at 25:07 via pinfall"

[/size]

Post Match- Tenryu & Fuyuki pose for the cameras for a bit, before Fuyuki takes to the microphone to thank all the other promotions for sending talent. He announces that the next special will be January 5th from this very building and he CLAIMS AJPW will be sending talent.

Gedo & Jado send us home but that's NOT the last thing we see.

Instead its backstage where Poison Sawada and his Zombie W*inger have caught up to Police Officer Toryu, the last thing we hear is Toryu let out a scream before we *CLIP* to Hido tossing Kimiko into the trunk of his car and driving off, and THAT's the last thing we see!

[Deleted]

The fall out:

Although Onita is still interested in bringing Fuyuki's crew to FMW he won't be sending top level talent in the near future as he found the angles on the show to be far to over the top with way too much comedy for his personal taste.

Genichiro Tenryu & the WAR guys didn't mind it but were told to pull out going forward if they want to continue to work with NJPW. This has to do with the POSSIBLE AJPW ties, although no one seems to believe anyone from AJPW will be coming in next month.

Bottom line, its different but at the end of the day you can totally see why NJPW let Fuyuki go from his Assistant Booker postition. Without a filter the man is, well simply put freaking crazy! I mean we saw a murder, a kidnapping, zombies, men wrestling women, and Hido KIDNAPPED A PORN STAR AFTER WE SAW A MURDER INSIDE THE RING.

[Grape Ape]

Loved it! Absolutely loved it.

Fun, fun show all around from start to finish. Porn stars, crazy angles makes for not only a fun show but a huge contrast to your NJPW stuff. Thanks for giving us various looks at the wrestling world in Japan as well as the political climate.

Chosu Mask and Chinoki were an interesting add to the show and most likely a burning of bridges for Fuyuki. At least he'll still be able to get work elsewhere if this does not pan out for him.


Pretty girl.

[Deleted]

That was uh, different for sure lol. Was certainly a contrast as Grape said, and while I would not want to see this every week or anything, in this presentation it was a good laugh to do once, or here and there when you have the time. The opener and the death to zombie gimmick specifically.

The second half on the other hand actually had the makings of some good stuff potentially. While nothing like your NJPW presentation, I did like seeing some of these names get some use, Headhunters vs Sabu and Abdullah being a nice treat of sorts. Awesome getting some use as well post New Japan.

I like the addition of the comment of it being Fuyuki without a filter. Provides a good outlet for those ideas you might get where the thought just pops into your head but you can never use it in the NJPW setting really.

[somethingsavage]

I'm on the same page as JP about this one. Purely fun for a comedy "treat" that's a total one-time deal. I wouldn't mind seeing sneaks & peeks of it here and there, but not very often. In short? If this was ALL ya did, then I'd absolutely hate it. Dreadful, rancid stuff. But as a complimentary companion piece to the ultra-competitive, real sports feel of New Japan? I can dig it.

It is what it is, and ultimately it comes across as silly entertainment. I *did* enjoy some of the shocks & surprises we got along the way. Sabu teaming with Abby could be BIG business anywhere else, and - given a chance for advertised billing - I think the pair could be potential money as a combo somewhere. For here though? Having to throw the match out - because, hey, let's be realistic - NOBODY wants to take the fall. Haha. Talk about true to life stuff. Nice touch there, man.

Tenryu popping up for the main was a big freaking deal. Not sure if it'll actually lead to a drawback for him over in New Japan at some point, as ya never really know how the chips will fall.

Overall? I like that you're experimenting and just generally having some fun with all these side projects. As Ape noted, it's cool to see that there's this whole big WORLD outside of just your lone New Japan promotion. It's great that ya can take the time out of booking IT so effectively & efficiently and still give us extras like this as an added bonus. Well done on that account.

[promoterx]

This may be the craziest shit I have seen on a fantasy wrestling show. Lots of fun to read, I do kinda hope we'll see a couple more of these pop up as the year goes on.
