From Victor Szanyi:
SPWC held their first show since April in Tokyo on 8/11 in Itabashi
Sanbun Hall, which looked more like a hotel conference room, and was
nicer than
their old underground gym. They also no longer use the tatami mats,
but rather one large yellow mat. Secret beat Slash in 4:41. Fearful
Gorilla beat Nagasa Kancho in 5:41. Black Baron beat Naoshi Sano (who
looked bigger than he usually does) in 5:25. As for the main event,
Survival Tobita beat Monstrous Beast-Human GYAOPPI (Gyaoppi is one of
those "virtual pets" that was all the rage a few years ago)
in 4:18 with
his piledriver onto a stack of chairs. Looking at the match times, it
would appear the 3-minute time limit is no longer in effect. That,
along with the new mat and building, seems to show that SPWC is successful.
SAMURAI TV was apparently there taping. The show drew
around 200 people.
