(DOVE) Notes from "BUMP BUMP Revolution 8" ~ 16th December 2012

Note: all links in this article will take you to pictures taken at the event.

Event took place at the Hiroshima Prefectural Industrial Hall West Building 4th Exhibition Hall (the ceiling was low, so fans thought that aerial skills were likely to be limited). Fans commented that Dove's practice of playing music throughout the entire event drowned out some cheering and the sound of impact of the moves, but this is something that only Dove can do, it wouldn't work anywhere else. 

It looks like Tadasuke and referee Yoshino travelled together from Osaka.

On the card was Shoichi Uchida vs 504, which Gunso (504) called the "Hiroshima\Osaka Zombie King Battle", which Uchida won after a vertical drop brainbuster on a chair.

The Kubota brothers faced Tadasuke and HAYATA and Keiki and Souther for the tag titles in a three way in the main event. One of the brothers suggested that as HAYATA is a local, they should kidnap one of his parents as out of filial piety, HAYATA would have to quit the match, they should just have threatened to steal his cigarettes. They didn't resort to that (although they did try to isolate HAYATA away from Tadasuke), they eventually won, and were challenged by 504 (Gunso) and Kabuki Kid.

At the end of the event, the roster got in the ring and joined hands in celebration for the past year, and thanked everyone for coming.

After the event Dove held an end of year party. All you can drink, chankonabe and other food. Kabuki Kid catered with homemade Philadelphia cheesecake, Chicken Wings and other food. Fans sat around the tables and drank and ate with the wrestlers (here is Tadasuke, who was serving salad)

A couple of pictures were taken by fans of Tadasuke (I'm not sure that HAYATA even went)
