BJW's Craig Classic now NWA Pro Wrestling Fusion Junior Heavyweight Champion
On the Friday night October 30, 2009 in Tampa, Florida, Craig Classic became the fourth NWA Pro Wrestling Fusion Florida Junior Heavyweight Champion by defeating Chris Jones. Jones, who demanded this match take place after being attacked and left laying by Classic on October 17 in Ft. Pierce, Florida, battled to the end but eventually fell victim to the Blue Thunder Driver.

Chris Jones is going to have to wait for his rematch because Craig Classic was just offered and has accepted another tour of Big Japan Pro Wrestling. This tour will be Craig's 10th tour of Japan since 2006. Upon receiving word of Craig's returning to Japan, he has received offers from multiple wrestling organizations throughout Japan. Craig is planning on taking the Florida Junior Heavyweight Title with him to defend it against any and all junior heavyweights in Japan.
As Champion, Classic now joins Chris Jones and former WCW World Television and Cruiserweight Champion, Prince Iaukea, as the only men to have held the NWA Pro Wrestling Fusion Florida Junior Heavyweight Championship.

BJW Craig Classic vs Abdullah The Butcher

On June 14, 2009 BJW's CRAIG CLASSIC took on hardcore demi-god and pro wrestling legend Abdullah The Butcher at a Rampage Pro Wrestling event. Craig began his career as a dojo young boy with Big Japan Pro Wrestling. He continues to grow in popularity as a wrestler in Japan, where he made Baseball Magazine Sha's Puroresu Shukan list of the top pro wrestlers, and in the US where he often takes on wrestlers who did time in the WWF WWE TNA ROH and other major organizations. Abdullah The Butcher used every dirty trick in the book in his attack on Craig. Hopefully video of this match will make its way onto the Internet before too long. The match was televised.

The July 12, 2009 Yokohama Bunka Taiikukan BJW Event is shaping up to be quite interesting. The main event features BJW Champion YUKO MIYAMOTO facing off against challenger MASASHI TAKEDA in a championship bout. This is no ordinary bout. It is being billed as a Construction Site Death Match and features high scaffolds. This will certainly be a difficult and dangerous challenge for both wrestlers.

At the June 15th press conference Yuko Miyamoto expressed that he wasn't happy about giving up two losses to Takeda in the Saikyo Tag League recently. He went on to say that deathmatch matches are his turf and he is going to handle Takeda's challenge full on. Conversely, Takeda said that he has only been wrestling death matches for less than year. Takeda didn't think he'd get a big chance so soon and promised to put on a great match and be victorious.
This event will also feature a ladder death match between Takashi Sasaki and Isami Kodaka. Death match legend mentioned that although Kodaka has gotten stronger psychologically and despite his doing well in the Saikyo Tag League, a single match is a totally different situation. Sasaki guarantees he will triumph and put a big hurt onto the smaller Kodaka, showing him just how scary a death match really is.
There will also be a six man tag death match between the team of Ryuji Ito, Shadow WX, and Kankuro Hoshino versus the team of Jun Kasai, "Kokutenshi" Jaki Numazawa, and Abdullah Kobayashi.
Other matches will be held but the complete card has yet to be determined.
Tickets are available at the usual Japanese ticket outlets. People who have difficulty using such outlets are advised to contact Big Japan Shop http://www.bigjapanshop.com for assistance.

In this review, we will look at Masada vs. Ryuji Ito, in a, "30 Minute Time Limit Anything Goes Fire Board & Barbed Wire & Concrete Block Deathmatch" from January 6, 2008 at Korakuen Hall. This match was a great way to start 2008 in BJW. Just as Ito has made a name for himself in Japan as one of the best hardcore-style wrestlers in the country and was BJW Deathmatch Champion at the time that this match occurred, Masada has done the same in the United States as the 2007 winner of Battle Box, the most hardcore annual show in America. In this match, both men showed how they have earned those distinctions.
The barbed wire that surrounded the ring instead of ropes quickly played a role in the match. Masada and Ito started off with a lock up and began trying to out muscle each other, until Ito managed to push Masada down to the mat, and back first into the waiting barbed wire. After leaving the ring to regain his bearings, Masada reentered. They both attempted to push each other to the barbed wire, and when that didn't work, Masada brought Ito down to the mat, and tried to keep him down with a front facelock. Ito managed to get back to his feet and escape the hold. Masada soon went after Ito with chops to the chest and forearm shots to the side of Ito's jaw, but Ito responded with chops of his own and roundhouse kicks before snapmaring Masada to the mat, following-up with a kick to his spine. Masada then returned the favor, delivering a chop, snapmare, and kick to the spine of his own. Ito rose to his feet, ready to continue. When he attempted to snapmare Masada again, Masada turned the move into a back slide, getting a two-count. Wanting to continue his momentum, Masada tried to irish whip Ito into the barbed wire, but Ito reversed it. Masada did a baseball slide to avoid colliding with the dangerous wire. Upon standing, however, he ran right into a leg lariat, courtesy of Ito.
Ito and Masada once again attempted to push each other into the barbed wire, until Masada changed his strategy by shoving Ito back first onto the row of concrete blocks that were in the ring, putting Masada firmly in control of the match. After delivering punches to Ito's forehead and smashing the back of his head against one the concrete blocks that were on the mat, he pushed the barbed wire against Ito's forehead, slicing it open and drawing blood. After following-up with a stomp to back of Ito's neck, Masada stood him up and began pushing his back against the wire. Feeling confident, Masada signaled to the crowd that he was going to irish whip Ito into the barbed wire on the opposite side of the ring. However, Ito reversed it, and when Masada put on the breaks to avoid the barbed wire, Ito delivered a roundhouse kick to the back of Masada's head, sending him into the wire. Ito stayed on Masada, kicking him into the wire, and digging it into his forehead, opening up Masada in the process. Ito then irish whipped Masada into barbed wire, which Masada became tangled in, the pain apparent on his face as Ito continued his assault with roundhouse kicks. Utilizing the concrete blocks, Ito went on to slam Masada on top of them- twice. Masada slowly slid to the outside of the ring, seeking a brief refuge. However, Ito followed, smashing Masada in the back continuously with a concrete block throughout the hall, including into the crowd. As Masada leaned against a ringpost in pain, Ito ran towards him with the concrete block, attempting to finishing him off with a blow to the head. Masada moved out of the way at the last second, causing the concrete to collide with the ringpost, breaking the concrete block into pieces.
With a piece of the concrete block still in his hand, Ito grabbed Masada's left arm (which was already injured as a result of Masada being tangled in the barbed wire earlier), and began nailing it with the concrete. Ito further worked on the arm by wrapping it around the barbed wire and pounding on it. He then pulled a chair from under the ring and began ramming it into Masada's arm, following-up with a stomp. Ito's strategy displayed what sets Big Japan Pro-Wrestling apart from all other promotions that specialize in the hardcore style. He displayed ring psychology by targeting a specific body part upon noticing that Masada's left arm was injured. After rolling Masada back into the ring, Ito continued his attack his stomps before choking Masada against the barbed wire. Masada then managed to make a comeback by getting ahold of a cement block and giving Ito blows to the back with it, sending Ito to the mat. After stomping on his head a couple of times, Masada grabbed Ito and irish whipped him into the barbed wire. Feeling the wire digging into his back, Ito staggered away from it and walked into a roundhouse kick to the head. Masada then hoisted Ito up and dropped him onto the barbed wire neck-first. However, the wire gave way, causing Ito to crash onto the floor outside of the ring.
When Ito got back to his feet, Masada pulled him into the ring and pushed him down to the mat so that the collapsed barbed wire was pressing into Ito's stomach. After following-up with a
legdrop, Masada went for the cover, but was only able to get a two-count. Frustrated, Masada delivered a kick to Ito's spine, as he tried to think of a new strategy. He then attempted to crucifix powerbomb Ito onto barbed wire that was still standing, but Ito escaped and began delivering roundhouse kicks to Masada's chest and then bodyslammed him onto the wire, collapsing it in the process. Masada laid on the mat in the pain, the wire piercing his skin. As Masada attempted to free himself, Ito stomped on him, and then brought Masada back to his feet in order to deliver kneelifts to his chest. This turned out to be a mistake however, as Masada caught one of Ito's legs, picked him up, and crotched him on the barbed wire. Masada then shoved Ito to the mat, picked up a concrete block and pummeled Ito with it. He then disconnected a large portion of barbed wire from the ring and began whipping Ito with it, leaving bloody welts on his back. Masada then decided to utilize both objects at the same time. With Ito on his stomach, Masada laid the barbed wire onto Ito's back, and then used the concrete to grind the wire deeper into his back. He then picked up another concrete block and smashed it into the block that was already on Ito's back. Masada once again went for the cover, and yet again, was only able to get a two-count.
Masada then brought Ito over to a side of the ring where the barbed wire had collapsed. A barbed wire board was on the floor below, and Masada attempted to powerbomb Ito onto it. However, the quick-thinking Ito reversed it into a hurricanrana, sending Masada crashing through the board instead. Ito then joined Masada outside of the ring, sandwiched him between the two broken pieces of the barbed wire board, and then stomped on the board that was laying on top of Masada. After rolling Masada back into the ring, Ito went for the cover, and to his surprise, was only able to get a two-count. At this point, Ito was ready to show one of the reasons he has earned the nickname of, "Deathmatch Dragon". Ito walked over to one of the corner boards and set it aflame. He then grabbed Masada's right arm (having already worked on the left arm earlier in the match), and placed it into the fire, burning Masada's wrist. After delivering a stomp to Masada's back and forearm shots to his jaw, Ito attempted to irish whip Masada into the fire, but Masada put on the breaks. He then dodged a big boot attempt by Ito and delivered a fireman's carry takeover into the fire. Masada went for the cover, and Ito barely escaped before a three-count could be made.
Ito rolled out of the ring, and Masada followed with a concrete block in hand, which he repeatedly smashed into Ito's back. He then hit Ito with a folding chair as well. Using the same idea that Ito had earlier, Masada then set a corner board on fire and chased Ito around the ring with it. Once both men were back in the ring, Masada set a stack of concrete blocks on fire and attempted to hip toss Ito onto them. However, Masada's plan backfired, as Ito reversed the move, sending Masada onto the flaming blocks instead. With Masada rolling on the mat in pain, Ito tried to capitalize by going for the cover, but Masada managed to kick out. When Masada got back to his feet, Ito hit him with kicks to the chest and stomach. However, when Ito threw a roundhouse kick towards Masada's face, Masada caught his leg and delivered a high angle belly to back suplex. Exhausted, Masada dragged himself over to Ito and covered him. The referee went for the three-count, but Ito kicked out a second before her hand could slap the mat for a third time. Masada then hit Ito with a Death Valley Bomb onto cement blocks. Masada went for the cover, but Ito was somehow able to lift a shoulder up.
Since Ito refused to stay down, Masada tied his arms up with barbed wire, and bashed his head with a table four times. Not only did this put a dent in the table, but it also left a dent in Ito's forehead as well. With Ito now knocked out, Masada set up a different table, and placed Ito on top of it. He then climbed a scaffolding that was next to the ring, putting him about 10 feet above Ito. Masada leaped off the scaffolding, attempting to drop an elbow onto Ito, but Ito rolled out of the way. Masada crashed through the table, and Ito got back up to his feet. Ito then quickly german suplexed Masada onto the concrete blocks and went for cover, only getting a two-count. Ito once again utilized the blocks, this time giving Masada a sitout scoop slam piledriver onto them before going for the cover. Amazingly, Masada was able to get a shoulder out before a three-count could be made.
Ito then dragged Masada into the middle of the ring, stomped on him, and then grabbed a bundle of barbed wire which he used to covered Masada's prone body with. Having Masada right where he wanted him, Ito climbed the same structure that Masada did minutes earlier and leaped off of it, landing on Masada with his, "Dragon Splash" finisher for the win. As Masada laid on the mat, Ito, proudly holding the BJW Deathmatch Championship belt over his shoulder, took the mic and told acknowledged that Masada displayed his abilities in front of everyone in attendance, and welcomed a future challenge for the Championship. Masada made it to his feet, then he and Ito shook hands in a show of respect for each other.

Chikara Pro Wrestling Japan Tour in Tokyo
Chikara Pro Wrestling Japan Tour in Tokyo
Big Japan Pro Wrestling has announced that BJW will face off against Chikara Pro Wrestling on June 12, 2009 and June 13, 2009 in Japan. Chikara Pro Wrestling has stated that they do not want to lose and to overcome the home court advantage; they will be holding one match at midnight to even their odds and make things fair. This time was chosen to help them with their jet lag.

Eiji Tosaka, BJW Executive Manager, stated “Although Chikara Pro Wrestling is an actual American wrestling organization, they are a little bit wacky. They claim that Isami Kodaka is the strongest wrestler in BJW. We will teach them DAINICHI-ism!"

Death match referee Nikkan Lee, the cultural go between for the two organizations, is predicting the two events will be successful and a little bit different than the usual BJW events.
June 12: Isami Wrestle Budokan Warabi City Saitama
June 13: Shin Kiba First Ring Tokyo
Tickets for both events may be purchased in Japanese Yen or US Dollars (Rate 100 JPY = $1 USD) at BJW events or on the day.

For over a decade, Big Japan Pro-Wrestling has consistently been the standard bearer of death match style matches. The BJW brand is not only well recognized in Japan, but in the USA as well, having had been featured on US PPV and across the country on DVD. BJW events boast attendance records of over 800 fans, and thanks to the Big Japan Shop (http://www.BigJapanShop.com/), fans all across the USA have the opportunity to see the exciting action of BJW. As the match reviewer for the BJW website, I will take a look at some of the many matches that are available.
In this review, we will look at Ryuji Ito vs. Jaki Numazawa, in a, "Golgotha Light Tube Cross & Light Tube Tower Deathmatch" from May 28, 2007 at Korakuen Hall, which was one of the best matches of the year. Both Ito and Numazawa are top talents in BJW.

Early in the match, Jaki Numazawa tried to keep Ryuji Ito down on the mat. Seeing that this tactic was not working, he then attempted to use one of the fluorescent light tubes that surrounded the ring to his advantage. Numazawa went for an irish whip, but Ito reversed the move, sending Numazawa crashing into the light tube instead. Ito then went on to backdrop Numazawa to the mat, causing Numazawa to seek refuge outside of the ring. Ito followed and delivered a stomp to Numazawa - who was laying prone on the floor- before reaching under the ring and pulling out a table. After using it to smash Numazawa in the head, Ito set up the table and placed Numazawa on top of it. Ito went on to climb to top of the light tube tower and delivered a splash onto Numazawa. The table bended, but did not break, which caused even more pain for Numazawa.
Ito then took the battle back into the ring, where after delivering a stomp to Numazawa's back, he put him a sitting position, placed a light tube against Numazawa's back, and then kicked it, exploding the light tube into Numazawa's spine. Ito went for a cover, but was only able to get a two-count. He then delivered an elbow drop, but still wasn't able to keep Numazawa down. Wanting to further weaken him, Ito brought Numazawa back to his feet, and began nailing him with hard shoot kicks. However, when he rebounded off the ropes to continue his attack, Numazawa had recovered and responded with a rana. He then followed up with a enzuigiri when Ito attempted to get back to his feet. Then, much to the delight of the crowd, Numazawa opened the door of the dreaded light tube tower, which clearly contained well over a dozen light tubes. He attempted to irish whip Ito into the light tubes, but Ito put on the breaks. Numazawa then slammed the door onto Ito's left arm and dropkicked him, sending Ito crashing into the multitude of light tubes.
Numazawa went on to further integrate the light tubes into his game plan, smashing Ito over the head with one, backdropping him onto another, then grabbed a set of light tubes and climbed to the top of the tower. Ito climbed to the top as well, where he gained control of the light tubes and smashed them over Numazawa's head. Numazawa returned the favor, and then shook the now broken light tubes, sending their contents spilling onto the mat- thumbtacks. Numazawa then delivered a hurricanrana, sending Ito down to mat, right on top of the thumbtacks. The pain was evident on Ito's face, and Numazawa attempted to finish him off with fireman's carry powerbomb, but amazingly, was only able to get a two-count.
Placing Ito into a corner, Numazawa grabbed a light tube and charged towards Ito, but Ito made a comeback by kicking the light tube, exploding it into Numazawa's chest, and when Numazawa dropped to one knee, hitting him with a enzuigiri. Ito then went for a cover, only getting a two-count, as Numazawa was able to slightly raise a shoulder off the mat. Not wanting to give Numazawa time to recover, Ito placed a light tube over his back, and then smashed it with his foot. He once again went for a cover, still only able to get a two-count. Ito then hit Numazawa with a moonsault, but still could not gain the pinfall.
After stomping Numazawa out of frustration, Ito placed a set of light tubes on Numazawa's chest and climbed to the top turnbuckle. Numazawa suddenly stood up, hooked the light tubes under Ito's arm, and swung them, sending Ito to the mat. As Ito stood up, Numazawa charged towards Ito with the light tubes and rammed into him, exploding the light tubes in the process. Numazawa then untied the light tube cross from the corner, and placed it on the mat. This gave Ito time to recover, who nailed Numazawa with a roundhouse kick to the back of the neck, and then put him down with a german suplex for a two-count.
Ito then bodyslammed Numazawa and placed the light tube cross on top of him. As Ito began a slow climb to the top pf the tower, Numazawa stood up, grabbed Ito, and hit him with a thunderous sitout powerbomb onto the light tube cross. Despite laying battered amongst the broken light tubes, Ito managed to raise a shoulder seconds before a three-count could be rendered. Obviously frustrated that a hardcore approach was not working in an attempt to put Ito away, Numazawa soon tried to gain a win with a small package, once again not being able to keep Ito down. Ito soon made a comeback, nailing Numazawa with roundhouse kicks to the back of the head, a german suplex, and then delivering a sitout scoop slam piledriver onto a set of light tubes that Numazawa had placed in the center of the ring only moments earlier. Numazawa barely managed to escape a three-count, and Ito smelled victory. He once again climbed to the top of the tower, and launched himself off to deliver his, "Dragon Splash" finisher for the win.

In this review, we will look at Ryuji Ito vs. Jaki Numazawa, in a, "Golgotha Light Tube Cross & Light Tube Tower Deathmatch" from May 28, 2007 at Korakuen Hall, which was one of the best matches of the year. Both Ito and Numazawa are top talents in BJW.

Early in the match, Jaki Numazawa tried to keep Ryuji Ito down on the mat. Seeing that this tactic was not working, he then attempted to use one of the fluorescent light tubes that surrounded the ring to his advantage. Numazawa went for an irish whip, but Ito reversed the move, sending Numazawa crashing into the light tube instead. Ito then went on to backdrop Numazawa to the mat, causing Numazawa to seek refuge outside of the ring. Ito followed and delivered a stomp to Numazawa - who was laying prone on the floor- before reaching under the ring and pulling out a table. After using it to smash Numazawa in the head, Ito set up the table and placed Numazawa on top of it. Ito went on to climb to top of the light tube tower and delivered a splash onto Numazawa. The table bended, but did not break, which caused even more pain for Numazawa.
Ito then took the battle back into the ring, where after delivering a stomp to Numazawa's back, he put him a sitting position, placed a light tube against Numazawa's back, and then kicked it, exploding the light tube into Numazawa's spine. Ito went for a cover, but was only able to get a two-count. He then delivered an elbow drop, but still wasn't able to keep Numazawa down.
