"DAUNTLESS" Lineup Announced!

- Seiichi Yamura held a press conference from Shin-Kiba 1st Ring to announce the entire 04/24 "DAUNTLESS" card, which has been sold out for several weeks.

The big news sees Yamura himself once again in the main event, battling Chojin Devils kingpin Masao Ishii, in direct retaliation to Ishii's attacks on Yamura back on 4/10.  However, the card is loaded from top to bottom...

Ichimi Gun (Seiichi Yamura)
"DAUNTLESS ~ TSUKYO BENEFIT RALLY"
04/24/10 - Tokyo Shin-Kiba 1st Ring

1. Yasuo Okizawa (debut) & Jorge Uchida (debut) vs. Keisuke Rongai & Wataru Yamada
- The freelance "HOT LIMIT" team of Rongai and Yamada had been chosen to face debuting Okizawa and Uchida.  Said Yamura, "HOT LIMIT are looking to revitalize their careers, while Okizawa and Uchida are beginning theirs.  This match seemed like the most logical for all four men."

2. SKYSCRAPER COLLIDE: Koki Akita vs. Mikio Tsuruya
- Pro-Wrestling CRIMSON continues to support TSUKYO, once again lending Tsuruya.  His opponent this time will be cult favorite "Suntanned Superman" Koki Akita, who hasn't had a match in some time, having pursued a (failed) career in bodybuilding.

3. UEDA TEST: Jin Hiroto vs. Mineo Ueda
- Mineo Ueda gets his wish, as "Death Agent" Jin Hiroto steps into the Ichimi ring to face the young prospect!  Yamura stated, "Hiroto is feared across Japan for his toughness.  Ueda will receive some priceless experience here...I have to admit I'm jealous, because I'd like to face Hiroto myself!"

4. ARE YOU DEVIL?: Katsuo Ishida vs. Shino Nakao
- Yamura: "Despite Ishii's cowardly antics, I have granted Ishida and Nakao their match.  Not because I care who winds up a member of their schoolyard gang, but because I believe the two will put on an interesting match for the crowd in attendance."

5. WHO KNOWS BURNING: Kenji Yujiro vs. Ichiro Tsuji
- Burning Dojo graduate Tsuji's opponent will be the son of his trainer, Kenji Yujiro!  Both men are graduates of the elder Yujiro's Osaka dojo, and will display that style in the Ichimi ring.

6. DANGER MAN TRIBUTE - STAIRWAY TO HELL, GLASS TABLE SCRAMBLE: Tetsuhiro Kaneda & Daichi Matsumoto vs. Shun'en Ogiwara & Hiromi Hasegawa
- In a tribute to TSUKYO, four Ichimi loyalists will go to war in a violent death match!  In this, a barbed-wire wrapped baseball bat will dangle from the air, while tables made of glass will be set up throughout the ringside area.  A ladder will be provided, and the bat must come into play before the contest can be settled!  Yamura said, "All four of these men have displayed a deep love of the Ichimi style.  On the 24th, that love will be put to the test!"  This is also notable as it is former Deadly Tokyo dojo graduate Kaneda's first deathmatch; he outright refused to participate in them during his stay there a decade ago.

7. Seiichi Yamura vs. Masao Ishii
- Finally, Yamura will look for some measure of revenge at Ishii here, representing the Ichimi Army against a vocal detractor.  Yamura commented on the attack by Masao Ishii directly after the 4/10 "NEVER DIE" rally, saying, "Ishii has proven himself again and again to be a coward.  He's always either jumping someone from behind, or running around in junior-heavyweight promotions (referring to Visual Spirit Promotions) trying to bully someone.  He says he wants the main event...well, he has it!"
