6/30/2002- Full results from Mie. Kanda refereed the Susumu match. SUWA ran in afterwards and attacked Susumu. Kanda will probably referee the match between them at World......Also, Marvin vs luchadore Super Nova (not the US one who invented wrestling) for the vacant NWA Welterweight title was added. The above lineup is now finalized.

6/29/2002- Results from Osaka. The Italian Connection assaulted Araken during the opening MC, prompting Araken to interfere in the opening match and cost the ItaConne the match. As payback they interfered in the semi, attacking Araken again. As a result fo all this, a new match was added to 7/7 World. ItaConne vs. Araken/A returning Super Shisa/Raimu Mishima. Something occured after the 4th match. From what I can tell, M2K ran in and attacked SUWA, Ogawauchi came to SUWAs' aid, then ran off M2K along with C-MAX.  Seems like CIMA attempted to recruit Ogawauchi for Toryumon Japan, although TARU was hesitant.

6/27/2002- Correction to the 8/3 show, listing the proper semi-main. Taiji Ishimori is Moris' partner, not Dragoncito.

6/26/2002- Big Toryumon Mexico involving T2P and Toryumon X was announced. Ultimo Dragoncito is listed twice, I assume this is an error, and as soon as I find a correction I'll post it.

6/24/2002- There were 2 matches at something called Guerilla Live today. I think this was a festival. I'm not sure. No match times available.

Regular Army Match: Keni'chiro Arai(Crab Hold)Raimu Mishima
M2K Match, Referee Yasushi Kanda: Susumu Yokosuka/Genki Horiguchi(Double Rollup)Magnum Tokyo{L}/ Darkness Dragon

6/23/2002- Results from Kawagoe up, ugly ugly show. During the NWA Welterweight title match, SUWA intruded, and assaulted Genki with a blue box, then gave Dragon Kid a FFF. The title has been vacated, and it's unknown who Marvins opponent will be at 7/7. Both Dragon and Genki are named to be in the 3 way, so perhaps the match just won't happen.

6/22/2002- Shizuoka results up.

6/21/2002- New match announced for World, Great Sasuke/Atlantis vs. Sasuke the Great/Negro Casas. Don't ask me why. This is sure to make ALL of Toryumon look good, as all 4 of these guys are not what they used to be.

6/20/2002- Slow slow slooow  news week. Toryumon Japan runs tomorrow night. I received the June VamoAmi today, with the Magu heel turn and the 5/19 tag tourney. Couple thoughts....the new Magu led M2K say BAKA! a lot. Stalker vs. Kanemura is the best Stalker match in a long time. Magu is really a great arrogant heel, at least he will be once he is accustomed to it (and gets a new entrance). CIMA and Mochi make a great distrusting team. SUWAs diving lariat rules, and the John Woo is the most over move in Toryumon Japan. SUWA/TARU vs. Genki/Magu was better than it had any right to be. Overall a better block than the recent ones (considering my expectations going in, this is saying a lot).

6/17/2002- The 6/7 Korakuen Hall show (Genki vs SUWA Hair vs. Hair) will air on July 5th.

6/16/2002- Full results up from Yokkaichi.. As will probably be the norm for a while, the Italian Connection ran in again and demanded a match, getting one vs. T2P technicos. On 6/23 in Kawagoe, there will be a 3 Way to determine SUWAs' opponent at World between Mochi, Araken, and Susumu. Kanda will once again be referee. Also on 6/23 Dragon Kid will challenge Genki for the NWA Welterweight title.

6/15/2002- Full results from Aichi, The Italian Connection (Yagi, Shuji, & BelBel) appeared in the opening MC, demanded a match, and wrestled a few T2P members.  Yagi challenged Araken for a match soon.

6/14/2002- Partial World lineup announced, not too strong as of now, hopefully the rumoured matches involving the Italian Connection guys happen. The home army team will probably be Masaaki, Dragon Kid, Araken. The M2K team pretty much has to be Susumu, Darkness Dragon, Magnum (unless Kanda is ready to go for this match). In an undecided match, EMLL workers Atlantis, Negro Casas, and Super Nova will be appearing. (who needs T2P when you can have Negro Casas......) These guys will also work the 7/14 Differ Ariake show, much to the delight of dozens I am sure.

6/13/2002- All is quiet on the major news front. CIMA and Araken will be appearing at a Hanshin Tigers game on 6/28. CIMA will throw out the opening pitch, and Araken will do commentary. It will be shown on GAORA from 15:45-End of the game (game start is 16:00). Ironically the T2P Special will be airing earlier in the day on GAORA. Presumably the first Japan shows Condotti, Yagi, Boxer, and TARUcito will work will be tomorrow night, I will more than likely being news flash.

6/10/2002- Just to clear up what some other "reporters" who claim to know everything are saying, there were no posters at the 6/7 Korakuen for the 9/8 show, and there wouldn't have been because it was a secret announcement for the 6/8 party.  Of course correcting him is nothing new.

6/10/2002- Some profile updates, Sugawara, YOSHINO, Yagi, Kondo, Doi. Mainly photos. Raimu Mishima is officially now a member of the Toryumon Japan regular army.

6/8/2002- The big show announcement was that Toryumon will be running in Ariake Coliseum on September 8th. And it will be 100% T2P vs. Japan. Ariake Coliseum is different from Differ Ariake, much larger (10,000 people...). Some more match possibilities have been tossed around for 7/7 World, namely: Berlinetta Boxer vs M2K Member and  Shuji/Yagi vs. Raimu Mishima/Ryo.
7:38 PM: Some clarification; Pescatore Yagi, Berlinetta Boxer, and Condotti Shuji ARE staying in Japan the entire summer to lead the war. 9/8 is easily the biggest show in Toryumon history, and a lot is riding on this feud.

6/7/2002- Results up from Korakuen. In the main Kanda was the special ref, and was bumped/taken out, then SUWA pinned Genki, but because Tamoaka Kinta counted the fall, it didn't count and SUWA was DQd. The Italian Connection showed up before semi-main, and were booed loudly. Ryo returned Mikere to Milano, much to the anguish of Fujii, who in turn dissolved the Bicycle Brothers team. TARUcito was formally brought into Crazy MAX. Big announcement tonight at the party, I'll pass it along as soon as i hear it!

6/6/2002- Full results up from Korakuen. A big match is scheduled for July, it will be announced at the party on Saturday. The Italian Connection will work the show tommorrow night in Korakuen, their first involvement on a Toryumon Japan show.  Fujii tried to bring out a REAL dog to give to Milano, but Milano saw through it (no pun intended). After the main event, there was a huge brawl between the ItaConne and C-MAX, SUWA busted Brother open with a chair. Although Milano won Mikeru back from Fujii, Fujii kidnapped her again. Condotti Shuji may have suffered an injury last night to his eye, not sure if it is serious. Stalker vs X also added to tonight, it will be yet another famous outsider.

6/5/2002- Big Korakuen show tonight with Fujii vs Milano. I'll be bringing news flash here (the scourge of Final Fantasy XI landed on my lap this morning, so I have another activity to keep me awake during the wee hours tonight^^)

6/4/2002- Results from Zepp Sendai up, sorry no news flash, sleep overwhelmed.

6/3/2002- Well, we all have some brain lapses from time to time.  reviewed the 3/3 T2P show some time ago, and forgot to upload it! Click HERE to read what I thought of the show. More photos of the recent tour are up at Chain Reaction. Check them out for pics of Takuya Sugawara, Yagis' new outfit, among others. Check out the BBS for a drawing of YOSHINOs' new outfit, good stuff.

6/2/2002- Updated the links section, be sure to check out the new Che Belezza Italian Connection page for some photos of their new outfits.

6/2/2002- Full results up from Osaka.  Raimu Mishima had to cancel his appearance tonight due to a head injury. No word on how long he will miss. Lineup tonight had to be changed due to his absence. Crazy MAX declared yesterday they would be at the 6/6 T2P show. Not sure if they will have a match or just show up. The 6/7 SUWA vs. Genki hair vs hair match will have a M2K decided special referee....After the main event tonight there was a huge brawl involving the Italian Connection and Fujii, Ryo, TARU, TARUcito, and Oyanagei. The Italian Connection used the 6 on 5 numbers to overwhelm them.

6/1/2002- Results from Ichikawa up, Genki successfully defending his title against Araken. Lots of T2P on the show, including 3 T2P undercarders losing a handicap match vs CIMA and TARU. Fans of Raimu Mishima will note he took the fall in the match despite Takuya Sugawara, the lowest ranking T2P member being in the match. T2P show tonight, possible news flash depending on my sleeping pattern.
