The Matsuyama City Community Center held the third of FIPW's introductory shows, and the company's third outing had much of the intrigue of the first two, even on a show expected to be high on action but low on drama.
That expectation was swiftly annihilated after the opener, a spirited battle between FIPW's own ninja, Yasushi Iguchi, and the Eternal Star, Akira Tamura. Showing his continued disdain for the younger generation, Tamura was able to ground the high flyer, and eventually force him to submit to the time-honored slayer of rookies, the crab hold. After the bout, though, a screen was brought to ringside, and a video played, depicting the leader of EXODUS' REVOLUTION unit, Shozo Arino!
Shozo ran down the veteran Tamura, and cited him as yet another example of the old guard that needed to be annihilated for wrestling to progress going forward. Arino stated that he would be in Fukuoka in just a few short days, with backup, and challenged Tamura to find a partner to meet him and the REVOLUTION head on. An enraged Tamura vowed that he would do just that, and left ringside in an angry huff.
FIPW's young lions met once again, this time in tag action, with the Suplex Ace partnering Yousuke Abe and Kenichiro Honda teaming with Tomohiro Ikeda. Both young lions made a good accounting of themselves, while Honda and Nakazawa had several back and forth exchanges. The heat eventually got too much for Ichiro, who tagged in a still-wounded Abe, leading to the rookie falling play to Honda's cannonball seated senton for the three count.
Samoan Storm faced DESTROY ALL HUMANS! in the evening's third bout. The mixed stylings of the Samoan duo served to off balance the power and carnage based attack of DAH. Many headbutts were thrown by all parties in a violent fight, but ultimately Ofisa wowed those in attendance with a big high angle German suplex to keep Watanabe down as Alofa held Kamigawa back from making the save.
For those wondering if Naoki Arishima was real, he served notice to the entire roster of FIPW that he certainly was - after being tested to the limit by a very game Masao Horiguchi. Horiguchi's penchant for eclectic offense served him well as he pulled out an Australian-style German suplex and a Stump Puller in his bid to spoil the much larger Arishima's debut. Arishima, though, fought back with a rock-solid arsenal of his own. After nearly twenty minutes of action, Naoki revealed his trump card - the devastating Lightning Blade, which was finally enough to put away Horiguchi and earn Arishima his first victory in FIPW.
An interesting tag match followed, with MAXIMUM teaming with armlock master Shun Akiyama against the odd duo of emotionless Kiriko Miura and the Viper, Olivier Roy, led by the vocal as always Bryan Cade(-desu). MAXIMUM and Akiyama made the better duo for much of the mask, but Roy and Miura were ultimately able to make their own sort of teamwork by cutting off the ring, preventing MAXIMUM and Akiyama from double-teaming while working their own double-team offense. Ultimately, a Kiriko blindtag of the legal Roy on an Irish whip proved decisive, as she snuck in and nailed Akiyama with the Poison Flower, scoring a big victory in her career and sending Bryan Cade into gleeful promotion of Olivier as she did her level best to get away from Cade as soon as humanly possible.
The eight person tag team main event did not disappoint, with Nakamura looking to serve notice to Kintaro Higashikata ahead of 12/31 that he was going to defeat the Golden Hero. He came close on several occassions, but Kintaro nearly defeated Toru on several more. Ultimately, as the contest broke down into battles around ringside, it was Chiaki Sakai and Kenjiro Ito who were legal. Sakai scored her signature moonsault press - only for Ito to kick out at the count of two. Keiichi Ito, in the odd position of having to face his father, entered the ring in an effort to help Sakai double team Kenjiro, only to eat a Yakuza kick from his father. Sakai rolled the elder Ito up, but only got two again, and Kenjiro quickly kneed her in the stomach and executed the Ice Age to pick up his first direct win in FIPW.
