January 27, 2003 – Tokyo, Japan

Due to a stipulation in the main event of the previous T2P show’s main event T2P must dissolve after this show. Everyone was absorbed into Toryumon Japan, so it’s not like anyone was left on the street, but it’s still a somber moment for the six-sided ring natives. Before any of the matches the T2P wrestlers are called to the ring one by one. Ultimo Dragon joins them and makes a speech.

We get a few clips from the recent Wrestle-1 show. Anthony W. Mori, Henry III Sugawara & Toryumon X’s Taiji Ishimori defeated the Italian Connection when Ishimori pinned Condotti Shuji. Shuji owes Ishimori one at this point. Later in the show Ultimo Dragon and Kaz Hayashi beat Rey Buccanero and Ultimo Guerrero.

And now we get back to the show…

Pescatoré Yagi {IC} & Berlinetta Boxer {IC} vs. BATAyan & Takamichi Iwasa
BATAyan was Kawabata, but now he’s wearing a kimono and singing his way to the ring instead of rocking the MMA gear. He and Boxer start. He blocks all of Boxer’s punches and kicks him around. He puts on a nerve hold. Iwasa and Yagi trade strikes until Yagi takes over with headbutts. He and Boxer hit a series of elbowdrops. Iwasa rams them into each other. Yagi hits a spear in the corner. BATAyan whacks him with a metal sheet. He puts Boxer in a cross armbreaker. Iwasa and Yagi get involved, turning the whole mess into Some Circus Shit. BATAyan hits a leg lariat.

They hit a double vertical suplex for 2. BATAyan goes nuts with the metal pan and pins Boxer with his feet on the ropes for the win at 7:55 shown of 10:01. None of these guys was worth a damn at this point, and that showed in the match. After the match BATAyan turns on Iwasa.

Touru Owashi vs. Jun Ogawauchi
Ogawauchi has much shorter hair than he did on the last T2P special, making him look that much more tough. He attacks Owashi before the bell with a chair. He hits a back kick and puts on a leglock. He goes for shoulder tackles but Owashi is too big. Owashi hits a back kick. He hits a low blow to block a back suplex, but Ogawauchi must not have man parts because he powers through and hits the move. He hits a knee kick, sending Owashi to the floor. Owashi whips him into the crowd. He hits a couple of chair shots. In the ring Owashi hits the running chokeslam for 2. He goes for another but Ogawauchi blocks it and hits a roundhouse kick. He hits a running elbow for 2. He hits the cutthroat DVD for 2. Owashi blocks a second attempt and hits a chokeslam. He hits a powerbomb for the win at 7:20 shown of 10:00. For a big fat slob vs. a young guy with a lot of potential this was solid enough.

TARU {CM} vs. Kinya Oyanagei
Before the match TARU tries on Oyanagei’s glasses, blinding them both. The referee and ring announcer try them on as well for kicks. Oyanagei studies his book during the opening test of strength, though it does him little good. TARU slams him but gets caught in a wristlock. Oyanagei sweeps the leg. He walks the ropes for so long that he starts to fall asleep. He wakes up and puts on an armbar. This is the last part of the show that was autosaved before my computer overheated. Instead of watching this match over again I’ll just let you know that I was not impressed, though it did improve somewhat after the book got knocked out of Oyanagei’s hands during a giant swing. TARU wins with a suplex into a powerbomb that he called the Malw at 11:02. After the match TARU shows Oyanagei respect in a promo.

YOSSINO and Dragon would go on to participate in and win the inaugural Differ Cup Tournament.
