Korakuen Hall drawing 2,200 fans
1. Kaz Hayashi & Spanky beat Joel & Jose Maximo in 10:48 when Spanky used the Sliced Bread #2 on Jose as he was being powerbombed by Hayashi.
2. Monsieur DO Barbarossa (Jason the Legend) defeated Katsuhisa Fujii in 5:57 with the Pile Buster (modified Complete Dust.)
3. Hirotaka Yokoi beat Psycho the Death (Psycho Simpson) in 6:00 with the Victor Throw.
4. Flying Vampires #16 & #23 (no clue but are Lucha style workers) defeated Taichi Ishikari & Ryouji Sai in 9:22 when #16 used the Vampire Clutch on Ishikari.
5. Hash loses, he grows an afro – Katakari loses, he shaves his: Shinya Hashimoto beat Katakari in 8:21 with a jujigatame.
6. Dan Bobish & Piranian Monster beat Toshiaki Kawada & Wataru Sakata in 12:24 when Bobish used the Buffalo Buster (TKO) on Sakata. Newly appointed Takada Monster Army Commander Yoji Anjo got involved in this match as well. The Takada Monster Army was in the balcony of Korakuen the entire night and after this match Takada & Naoya Ogawa got into a promo war, when Takada introduced his newest member of the Army and it was Yoshihiro Takayama (who was wearing a ten-gallon cowboy hat & sunglasses.) Ogawa challenged Takayama to a match on 7/25 at Yokohama Arena, but Takayama never accepted. Ogawa & Hashimoto invited the HUSTLE Army out after this to do their salute until Kawada got in the ring and took control of the mic. Kawada then did the 3-2-1 HUSTLE salute and he actually did the HUSTLE with OH Gun to the crowd’s delight.>>

I would have loved to have seen Kawada do the hustle, that would have made my night. This was a good card overall. Hashimoto with an afro? Glad it didn't happen.

I have the same question...

Hustle 3 was a lot better than this card.

Yep Strong Style Spirit. I agree a little with Luds, the card sucked majorly

[El Pollo Guerrera]

Is this the Hustle-4 show? I saw the results on puroresupower.com and they only refer to it as "Hustle House show"...

I just saw Hustle-3... I find it hard to believe that the main event could be worse than Hall and Nash... I find it hard to believe that ANYTHING could be worse than that match...

and they toped themselves with the poster

Nice Disco ball on Hashimoto!

[Hisaharu Tanabe]

The poster is based on an old Chinese tale (sorry, I don't know the exact title in English). Hashimoto is Buddha, Ogawa is the Super Monkey, etc.

Unfortunately, the title of the card says "Fighting Opera: Hustle 4".

I'm not even going to comment on this poster.

I could not help but laugh my total and complete butt off.

Nice Disco ball on Hashimoto!.

Hey It's Gary Spivey!!!!

But is it me or am I the only one that sees "Superstar" Billy Graham in that poster?

[El Pollo Guerrera]

Superstar Billy Graham? I think that's supposed to be Bobish...

*looks at picture of Joe Son and shudders*

eeeewwww.....

I'm surprised by the lack of HUSTLE-LUV around these parts. While its not the greatest wrestling ever, it is extremely entertaining. If you were into stuff like FMW, Fuyuki-Gun, DDT, etc this is like a dream come true. As basically, it is high profile wrestlers, in indy sleaze situations.

And he gets the news from the message board on SSS, which you need to be registered to view... Its easiest to get the news from the HWL forum, KrisZ posts the news daily in the wrestling folder, http://www.swankyjason.com/happy/viewforum.php?f=1
