(DOVE) Notes from 1st May 2011, "WAR FOR TERRITORY" Industrial Hall, Hiroshima

"Dove does not give Hiroshima away to anyone!" 
Kabuki Kid

Kabuki Kid opened what he termed as a "mobile dining hall" the day prior to the event starting, he bought candy and handmade food (he doesn't say whether it was from local people, the dojo or the roster). The event was allowed to continue for half an hour after it was meant to end.

BillyKenKid had wrestled twice in one day, wrestling in the day in Osaka and then travelling on to Hiroshima to wrestle that evening.

Apparently Osaka humor is not well understood in Hiroshima, and some things were lost on the audience.

Dark match: Tigre Oriental vs Masataka Kawamoto

Fans estimated that there were about 400 people in attendance, they had even done their own promotion, one fan mentioned that they had put up a poster in a big local flea market. However, not all the fans were so courteous, there was trouble in the crowd when a "fan in a bandana" provoked one of the wrestlers.
Lighting was also an issue, and there were less than usual due to funds, but for the hardcore match there were barbed wire bats and 5 inch nail brushes.   

As it was Golden Week there was a party after the event with Takashi Sasaki (representing FREEDOMS) as the special guest which BillyKenKid turned up to. The party was also known in his honor as "The Lord's Party".
