Yoshiya Yamashita vs. Gilgilgan, Jr.
Gilgilgan Jr is a masked guy in a plain black drunks outfit. This was pretty basic like a rookie match. What, it's an SPWC show and you're not gonna be outrageous? I guess having a ring made them up their standards. Yamashita worked nice and snug and the masked guy hit some okay-ish dropkicks. Yamashita with a really nice chokeslam for the win.
Chotaro Kamoi vs. The Karate Devil
Karate Devil wears a gi and a Destroyer mask. NATURALLY. Kamoi has been dreadful whenever I've seen him, but he was actually laying in his punches here. He beat the devil pretty fast. Nothing much else to say on this.
Toshiyuki Moriya vs. Edward Sexton
Moriya would later assume the Fake Onita personality. Sexton is a pudgy and unassuming gaijin who wears scuzzy judo pants and boxing gloves. Yes, this is really like the scuzziest low level FMW parody. Sexston does some leglocks too but nothing about him is very impressive. He defeats Moriya pretty fast, at least. If Edward Sexton is still around I'd love to hear his story on how he got to work for Survival Tobita.
Naoshi Sano vs. The Karate Devil
The previous two matches were part of some kind of tournament, and this is the match for the lowest rank in that tournament... because why not?! Where's the 3rd place match? Sano tries working a wrestler vs. karateka match in this, but man he doesn't have the skills to pull it off at all. Karate Devil beats him good. Another so-so-mhm-I-guess-there-were-some-cool-punches-and-kicks-in-this short match.
Chotaro Kamoi vs. Edward Sexton
This is the finals. The guys with the boxing gloves going to the finals is some next level scuzzy indy shit. Couldn't they get another martial artist with a different style? Like Seikendo Vader, or one of the CAPTURE opening match grapplers? I guess boxer vs. undefined martial artist is interesting enough for the Japanese fans because they actually got excited for this. And both guys laid in some combos. They went long too, almost going broadway~! I dunno, it was fun I guess.
Survival Tobita vs. Ape Man Virgon
Survival Tobita vs. Ape Man Virgon
This is what drew the house. No offense to Edward Sexton and The Karate Devil, but everyones here for Tobita fighting a monster. Naoshi Sano is actually at ringside for this, indicating he is not portraying Ape Man Virgon. This goes almost the same as the Tobita/Virgon match from Michinoku Pro. Virgon doesn't really have interest in fighting and just terrorizes the arena. The back bump into the ropes Tobita takes on the first throw is a thing of beuty. Sano gets whipped around too and gets his shirt torn! I love dedicated whipping boy Sano. They go to a Double Countout~! and restart the match and Tobita ends the monkey. It rules that the Ape Man has super strong shoves. If he actually knew what fighting is he would've ended Tobitas life, but our camo pants sporting hero prevailed. It's amazing how perfectly they put this bullshit together.
