Next Bloom #11 The Future of the Future Blossom division.
It has come out that Shogun has fully taken over as the majority owner of Sakura Pro! Dean Sweenson has apparently sold almost everything and has left the territory in protest of what happened on last week's Sakura Pro (good). His first order of business is to test out his beloved Future Blossom division and see where they stand amongst the rest of Sakura Pro. It will not not dissimilar to the Future Blossom showcase shows from before Next Bloom was revealed as a show. Of course the championships will still be defended in the main events, but a number of notable Future Blossom names will face off against mystery opponents from Sakura Pro's main roster as well as a few outsiders! It should be an exciting night of action and it will set the pace for the future of Next Bloom as we know it!

Next Bloom #12
First off, due to suffering a vicious knockout last Friday, Jessie Andrews will be out of action for the remainder of February as a precautionary measure. Now, we can move on the recap of last week's excellent Next Bloom show!
-----------------------------------------
Future Blossom Championship - Togo Yamashita (C) vs Monochrome X (W)
Monochrome X's reign has begun after dominating the majority of this match. Yamashita landed many stiff strikes, but Monochrome X's ability to distract and agitate gave him all the openings he needed to land an amazing cutter out of the corner to pick up a win AND the Future Blossom title.
Future Blossom Tag Championship - Chi Town Express (C) vs The Coven (W)
In what was another great match, the Coven won a war of attrition against the now former champions.
Antov Borisyuk (W) vs Dr Q
Antov dominated this match, it's not certain whether or not Q sandbagged a bit, but by the end he was certainly trying to put his pupil away and failed. However it still took multiple spears, and three Red Cyclones to keep the Mad Soviet down for a three count.
SHINGO (W) vs Jessie Andrews (Crit KO)
Andrews controlled the match, but SHINGO's kicks brought him into control, and suddenly his Sunset go to sleep variation landed, and knocked the Wild Star out cold.
House of Nakajima (W) vs The Amphibian Association
The House was surprisingly able to control the vast majority of this match. Despite both El Froggy Mask and Ribbit's experience and speed advantage, and multiple comeback attempts. The Nakajima sisters worked perfectly in sync with each other for the most part and eventually took the W.
Jill Anderson vs Kosuke Arai (W)
Absolute war of chops, Anderson tried to submit Arai, but he was too tough and seasoned, eventually outlasting her despite the rookie surviving two Hell Banishing chops. Performances like that are exactly why Choppu is still every bit as dangerous today as he was in his prime! I'd honestly love to have a match with him one of these days, but that's besides the point, Anderson looked great, but Arai got another impressive win to add to his resume.
Choco Sakura vs Desire (W)
This was a match of two women who are clearly not in their right minds. Choco Sakura may have lost, but I've known Desire for a long time and I can tell you that the Blood Hawk may have earned the Blackrose owner's respect. Regardless, Desire refused to stay down for the Hunting Hawk and eventually landed enough Thorns on the Blackrose to put the newest member of Dystopia away.
Kyosuke Nakajima (W) vs Io Yamazaki
Yamazaki's strength was formidable, but Nakajima's two Divinity kicks were able to put her away. The House of Nakajima continues to be one of the strongest units in Sakura Pro, or anywhere for that matter with wins like this one.
Yukiko Harada (W) vs Harada
Harada controlled most of the contest, but his younger sister made a fiery comeback and managed to submit her brother with her Spider Twist after her variation of the Harada family special Slingblade!
Infinity (W) vs G.P Christopher
S.P Christopher definitely more than held his own as he always does, but Infinity's speed was far too much for him to keep up with in the end. He couldn't hold her down, and fell victim to two tiger feint rewind kicks. Honestly if you ask me, the only weakness Christopher has is against this next generation of wrestlers coming down the pipe. He's not so different to me in a sense!

Golden Blossom Championship - Ayumi Mirai (C) vs Suerte Mariachi (W) It was inevitable, Ayumi Mirai put up a fantastic fight, but Suerte Mariachi won the Golden Blossom championship. It felt like destiny after the Four Amigos were screwed out of winning last year's Unit Battle Festival, but after a dominant victory this year it finally happened. The only question now is whether or not Suerte can handle the schedule that a Golden Blossom champion had to endure.
International Championship - Crusade (C) vs Hip Hoppin Fresh Fuji
Crusade had been a bit of a gatekeeper from up and comers over the last few months now. He put a stop to the momentum of the Sakura Dragons and took the International title from Ryo Harada in an excellent display of how far he's come. However, in this defense against Fresh Fuji he met a man with a style he'd never truly faced before and momentum that simply could not be denied. After a number of missed diving headbutts, Crusade fell the Hip Hoppin Fresh Fuji, finally cementing the Funky Fresh man with the big win he'd been hunting since his debut on Next Bloom.
Full Bloom Tag Team Championships - Yuri Anny May (C) vs Devastation Inc (W)
Yuri Anny May tried their very best, but Devastation Inc had too much power and too much experience to be denied on this night. They're now the team to win the full Bloom tag titles the most with four reigns. It absolutely won't be the last time we see Yuri Anny May, though and they made a fight out of this match up despite the odds.
Doctor Q (W) vs Moustapha Ndour
Doctor Q promised to return the action in a way that would make him feared again, and that promise was delivered upon. Moustapha Ndour wrestled as close to a perfect match as anyone could, hitting Q with multiple Obliteration Machine's before the ten minute mark took place, however Q rallied and during a battle on the outside hit the Cold War Blues. Nobody can put up much of a fight after that, and Ndour fell not long after that. It was a tremendous effort from the young man, but the mad Soviet is a true force of nature.
Selisha vs Justin Starr (W) A battle against two of the most clutch wrestlers in Sakura Pro, but Justin Starr was just a few steps ahead on that night. Selisha was absolutely no pushover, but Starr would not be denied and will more than likely challenge for the Golden Blossom again in the near future.
Kosuke "Choppu" Arai (W) vs Demarcus Browning
Kosuke Arai's incredible run continues! The legendary competitor had us all fooled early on as he struggled to deal with Browning's raw strength and power. However, in what is becoming a classic move from Choppu, he weathered the storm and absolutely brutalized Browning's face with the Hell Banishing chop to take a well earned victory. I'll announce it here, Fresh Fuji's first defense has to be against Kosuke Arai after a win like this.
The New Mutants vs The Oni (W)
It probably shouldn't be a surprise, but The Oni taking the win over The New Mutants was shocking to yours truly. It had been a while since they were in the ring at all, so many people expected the Mutants to cruise to a big debut victory. However, the veteran team came ready to fight and the two teams put on a classic against each other! It could have gone either way, but when it came down to the wire, Jedah was able to lock in her deadly stretch plum and force a stoppage from the ref.
Silver Blossom Title #1 Contender - Drakaina (W) vs Emelia "Air" Hart
This was a match that lived up to everyone's expectations. Two hungry wrestlers fighting for a shot at a championship. It looked like Emelia was well on her way to earning that shot for herself, but in typical Drakaina fashion, she was able to pull off a comeback and get the win. She may well take that Silver Blossom title from El Loco and get one step closer to becoming the only Rose Garden grand slam champion in history.
Rose Garden Trios Championships - The Golden Family (C) vs House of Nakajima (W) It was a battle between six fairly unlikable people, and to many people's surprise, The House of Nakajima were able to go out on top! The rise of the House is beginning to look like it simply won't come to a halt. When the siblings are together they seem be be just about unstoppable, even against a trio as dominant as the Golden Family.

Future Blossom Championship - Monochrome X (C) (W) vs Infinity Monochrome X has truly cemented his place as a dominant Future Blossom champion with this defense. Infinity only ever lost to Antov Borisyuk in singles action before this, yet Monochrome X dominated the majority of the match and even forced a submission out of the leader of Time Patrol! Now he only needs three more defenses before he brings his array of chaotic tactics to the International division.
Future Blossom Tag Championship - The Coven (C) vs House of Nakijima (W) The Coven finally got their title victory against Chi Town Express last time, but the House always seems to find a way to win. After their Rose Garden Trios title victory last week, Nakajima-sama and Kyoko Nakajima managed to outwit the champions in yet another show of their remarkable teamwork. It's going to be difficult to take the belts from the duo for certain and this could lead to the House officially making their way to the main roster if they continue to wrestle like this.
Don Irons vs Johnny Warning (W) The shock of the night came when The Eliminator Don Irons was pinned for the fourth time in his dominant career by the Team Technical standout Johnny Warning. Irons didn't look bad either, landing many if the hits before succumbing to one too many sheer drop brainbusters from the old school wrestling master in what may earn Warning the next shot at the Future Blossom title.
Kyosuke Nakajima vs Tyson Jackson (W) The House of Nakajima made their presence felt on this show, however the former Future Blossom tag champion Tyson Jackson, showed why he and AJ Steele held onto the belts for so long, enduring two Divinity kicks before catching Kyosuke with a running crucifix hold for the victory.
Super Darkness Machines vs Time Patrol (W) Time Patrol continued top show why they're one of the top units on Next Bloom with a commanding victory over the fast rising Super Darkness Machines here.
Jun The Magnificent Falcon vs Hikari Arata (W)The Magnificent Falcon finally makes her debut on Next Bloom! She is one of the more exciting prospects on this show, rivaled only by Yukiko Harada in her Dojo class, However much like her Dojo rival, Jun came up short when placed in the ring with another very exciting prospect in Hikari Arata. The detective started the match very slowly, getting used to the Falcon's rhythm before suddenly upping the pace herself and overwhelming Jun for the victory.
Choco Sakura (W) vs Jill Anderson The Blood Hawk made a strong rebound after her previous loss to Desire, but gutting out a hard fought battle against the arm breaking beaut Jill Anderson. Anderson controlled a good portion of the match, but Sakura was able to rally with her deadly kicks and eventually landed the Hunting Hawk to score a pin.
Infinity (W) vs Yukiko Harada vs SHINGO vs Antov BorisyukOur opening contest was about as exciting as it possibly could have been, with every member of the match showing out to the best of their ability in an attempt to get their shot at Monochrome X in the main event. As I said, everyone put their best foot forward, but in the end it was Infinity who used her strategy of perpetual in ring motion to take the win and stake her claim for the main event.
Pre Show Araki Kenshin vs Justin Arquette (W) The fans were initially very happy to see Araki Kenshin return to action, but unfortunately that mood was soon brought down with another return to action. Justin Arquette, after being booted out of the main roster by yours truly, soundly defeated the striking expert, albeit not without a fight in the process.
Sebastian Churchill (W) vs Rage Monkey Team technical members really showed out on this show, and Sebastian Churchill's win over a former Future Blossom champion will absolutely thrust him into the limelight on Next Bloom.

In the days leading up to a bouquet of violence night two and three a number of competitors have sent in tapes giving us some insight into their respective thought processes going into the huge event. Nakajima-sama
"I know all of my many, many fans have missed me over the last few weeks! You don't need to despair for much longer as I am now cleared to wrestle once again! In fact, not only will we, the glorious house of Nakajima be defending the Rose Garden Trios titles successfully against those brutish Thorn women. We will also be participating in what was pitched to yours truly as a dream match!
However...well I just don't see why? My house, the exalted and divine house of Nakajima will be facing Les Beautes Blondes on night three of a bouquet of violence, but I'm not sure what exactly we have to gain from defeating a group of has been phonies! My employees did some research on you lot. It doesn't seem like any of you are worthy of all the praise I've been hearing about you! We're already better at this wrestling thing, we're clearly more successful in business. Hmm..I would even go so far as to say that we look much better blonde than any of you do. Regardless, I've spent far too much of my precious time and oxygen talking about what will be two more easy victories for the house. As always fans of mine, make sure to watch our upcoming bouts, or else!"
HARADA
"I have not spoken a word in this company since I began wearing my father's face paint. The reason for that was due to the shame I brought to myself and his name by failing again and again! I had to make up for my failures and with Shogun's help and guidance I have begun to do just that. I am living up to the potential placed on me by my father and I have become one of the best wrestlers in Sakura Pro. Unfortunately I was not strong enough to earn a shot at the Golden Blossom on night two. However, I'm not the only one who's failed at that lately am I? Kaito Arai! You are everything I was supposed to be! You were the true Ace of the Future Blossom division, you skipped the line, defeated my mentor and your trainer! You won the Golden Blossom and...well now you've been on a downward spiral haven't you?
You couldn't get the job done once you won that title, you made it to the mountaintop and immediately fell right off, you couldn't even earn a shot at my leftovers in the International division! I'm going to stop wasting time now and get right to the point. I have envied you for too long Arai, watching your rise hurt me and that may not be fair to you but I'm not concerned with fairness anymore. I requested a match with you on night three of a bouquet of violence and Shogun was kind enough to allow such a selfish request. I am going to make you feel the same pain and anguish I felt watching you! You're going to know how I felt when I couldn't get the job done and who knows, maybe when I beat you I'll do for you what Shogun did for me and take you under my wing."
Shogun
"Listen, I am a very busy man these days but I have just enough time to get something off my chest. Crusher Honda you are one of the most feared wrestlers on the planet and for good reason! The pile of broken bodies that follows your every step is innumerable. Hell, you almost left my body in your wake not too long ago didn't you? I am ashamed of my performance in that match, even if I disagree with the referee's decision the fact remains that myself and HARADA were being pummeled in that match. Even though we still lost in the rematch I wanted yourself and Wrecker Yamamoto to know that we have changed our attitudes. I've spent a lot more of my time thinking since taking over this company. I realized that you and I aren't too far apart from one another! We purposefully isolated ourselves for years and years of misery.
In that self imposed misery we garnered much notoriety as well as a fair share of infamy alongside it. At the end of the day however, you and your partner softened quite a bit didn't you? You've made a few friends and even have your own protege! Yet despite you opening the borders to your hearts you are still one of the deadliest and most successful tag teams in the world! If anything you've only become more dangerous! My point is that I am the same. Ever since I began training young hopefuls in the Sakura Pro dojo I have indeed softened up a bit. I've won more titles than I care to remember and yet I feel more pride in seeing kids that I trained win their own titles than any accomplishment of my own could garner. Now as one favor to myself I am facing you in a one of one contest Honda. I already know that I am only stronger now that I've taken the weight of my student's hopes and dreams onto my back. Now I want to show you that strength!
I am going to do everything in my power to defeat you and prove to myself that I might still have something left in the tank, Honda! Let us show the world what Sakura Pro and Lightning Pro can do together when we fight, let us show the world what happens when the most miserable wrestlers on Earth finally open their hearts even if it's just a crack! |
