DPW begins the Japan Tour... without Corey O'Brian?

DPW's first leg of the Japan Tour has been announced, in the legendary Yokohama Arena. DPW founder October Raven expects to fill all 17,000 seats.

One person who people have been wondering if he will be there is Corey O'Brian. The wrestler has undergone an emergency neck surgery. Corey says he will be wrestling again, however, not in Yokohama. Corey will still be there, however. Being fluent in Japanese, he will serve as a translator for the non-Japanese speaking members of DPW as they do press conferences and interviews until he is able to perform in the ring.

DPW also says they are working on bringing in new talent to perform in the Japan Tour, however no names have been confirmed and will not be in Yokohama.

The card for the Yokohama event is as follows:

DPW Japan Tour: Yokohama
Jin Haisha vs Kevin Williams
Genocide vs Socks O'Brian
REIKA vs Chris DaMico
Mike Blood vs Raiku Daisatsu
Shinokumo vs Frank Desmond
Team Handsome Tokyo (Jintaro Mazaki and Yoshiro Tenmaku) vs Hotaka Tokudo & Masashi Togashi
DPW World Heavyweight Championship- Thomas Clarke vs Monster Takeshi(c)

This is Thomas Clarke's first championship match outside of England. He is said to be thrilled with the oppurtunity. When asked how he planned to fight Takeshi, he was going to use the advantage of leverage and hit him with the London Bomber when he least expects it. Takeshi says that Clarke may be different from his other opponents, but he will end the same way as the rest: Pinned.

Will Clarke be the first to slay the Monster? Will Takeshi continue to run roughshod over the DPW roster? Find out when DPW's Japan Tour begins, very soon!

OTHER NEWS
Mike Blood did a sit-down interview with a famous pro wrestling magazine today. Here is an excerpt: "Since the recent tragedies in wrestling and concern over steroid abuse, the question I've been asked more than anything else is 'have you ever done steroids?'. People claim that my weight loss is because I've been off the juice, but this is absolutely untrue. I've never taken any steroids, or any illegal drugs, in my entire life. And anyone who wants to prove me wrong can try to. I carry a sampling cup with me everywhere I go. If you see me, I don't give two shits where, I'll show you the empty cup, go to the nearest bathroom, fill it up, and give you the sample so you can see that I don't take steroids. I would have never made it in the original DPW, or this new incarnation of DPW, because they test everyone and if you fail once you're done. I got this physique the hard way and I'll be damned if I'm going to let anyone say otherwise."

The rumors are true, DPW will be touring Japan in the near future, starting with Yokohama, going all over the country.

DPW management have ruled that, while there was no clear-cut winner to the world title match, Monster Takeshi will remain as champion. However, the upcoming three-way match that is booked must have a winner. Remember that in DPW, there are no easy ways out. Titles can change hand by DQs and countouts.

Legacy of Honor + Recap

*SPOILERS BELOW*

Genocide was dominant as ever, mopping the floor with Jin Haisha. Jin was able to escape the dreaded Kimura Armbar, but tapped out in 5:07 to a Fujiwar

Anarchy in the UK (Coming out to a team theme this time around) had an excellent encounter with Chris DaMico and "Mr. Las Vegas" Frank Desmond. This was an exciting back and forth match. Chris DaMico did some absolutely amazing pinning combinations, but in the end fell to Thomas Clarke's half crab in 33:19

Raiku Daisatsu and Yoshiro Tenmaku was another hard-fought battle. Tenmaku tried to put the match away early with two Kudome Valentines and an SHRSTF, but despite having the advantage for most of the match, it was all over as soon as Daisatsu busted him wide open with the ring post and a headbutt on the floor. The Satanic Offering lead to a knockout victory in 10:42.

REIKA did battle with Shinokumo, and the female phenom did impressively well over the man who went all the way to the DPW Championship Finals. REIKA used her REIKA Divebomb for the first time in a DPW ring, and it was all over in 17:53

Masashi Togashi and Hotaka Tokudo faced Corey O'Brian and his cousin Socks in a special tag attraction. Corey O'Brian did impressively well in the ring against Hotaka Tokudo for the first time, and Socks held his own as well, but the Japanese team managed to score a Togashi flash pin over Corey O'Brian in 27:45

Finally, "Mr. J" Jintaro Mazaki challenged Monster Takeshi for the DPW Championship. This match was absolutely electric, a back and forth encounter with both men being taken to their limits. The J-Germany and Tokyo Tower Bomb both came into play more than once, with nearfall after nearfall after nearfall. Takeshi had the Falcon Arrow Driver just as the time limit expired, leading to a one-hour draw! DPW Management are reviewing this encounter to decide what will be in store for the championship. Check back here for more details as they come.

The Razorback comes home?

"The Razorback" Mike Blood, who spent his rookie year in the previous incarnation of DPW, culminating a world title victory, is in talks with DPW management about returning to the company that launched his career. Mike has spent most of his time since the first DPW's fallout in Japan and plans to head back to the US as soon as he finishes his tour.

Mike Blood was the first graduate of the original DPW's development league, the RWA, and was a huge hit from the very beginning. He's lost 10 pounds and changed his hair color since then, but he's still the same hard-hitting Razorback that is sure to once again be a key player in DPW's scene.

More on this as it develops.

Legacy of Honor Card

Legacy of Honor, DPW's third event, was announced with a full card at a press conference in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida this evening. DPW President October Raven read through the scheduled card:

Yoshiro Tenmaku vs Raiku Daisatsu
REIKA vs Shinokumo
Masashi Togashi and Hotaka Tokudo vs Corey and Socks O'Brian
DPW World Heavyweight Championship- Jintaro Mazaki vs Monster Takeshi(c)

Also there was a few of DPW's top names, including Corey O' Brian, who said, "As a fan of Tokudo's work, I'm honored to be able to be in the same ring as one of the legends of Japanese wrestling."

Also there was Jintaro Mazaki, who was accompanied by his girlfriend. Jintaro said he has studied Takeshi and found a weakness, and that when he goes back to Tokyo he'll have the DPW belt with him.

O'Brian, Mazaki, and REIKA spent time after the show to sign autographs and take pictures for fans.
