THE EVENT
~ As they weren't teaming together, both Shoichi Uchida and Ray Paloma kept their pants on. However, while this was true of Uchida, Ray stood up from his chair, which was near Referee Yoshino and let's just say, parts of the back of the pants were down. Yoshino muttered why "this person had to stop here and start doing something", and that it was probably a mistake for him to be wearing pants. Ray said a picture was 500 yen. 
~Shoichi Uchida came out with his baby doll (he's a divorced father of four and is honked constantly for child support), and handed it to referee Yoshino, who wore an undisguised look of disgust. Then a fight broke out, and Referee Yoshino put it very gently in the corner. Fans found it creepy looking. 
~Fans called the first match a "generational struggle". 
~ Kyohei Kinoshita and Ultimate Spider Jnr, danced on entry. Naoki Tanizaki said he was doing a shuffle dance with them. Jun Masaoka didn't dance, but Ultimate Spider Jnr hinted that this was because he hadn't practiced with them.
~ Gunso came out with his trademark knives, but as this was not a hardcore match, he didn't use them (not that it has to be a hardcore match)
~ The second match was called "Dove's Smart Criminal" (Kabuki Kid) vs "Dove's City Pop Star" (Ray Paloma, who is from Hiroshima...he claims the Atomic Dome). 
~ Kabuki Kid was told off for raking Ray's eyes, poking them, low blow back kick, and punching with a closed fist. Outside the ring, he sprayed disinfectant at him. 
~ Ray was scolded for dancing through the customers by the long suffering referee. "The Long Suffering Referee" later found his hotel room had been upgraded to two single beds, and a strange looking sofa. The bed was so comfy and he was so tired, he fell asleep immediately. 
~ YASSHI, shall we say, did a kind of reverse cupcake to his opponents.
~ TiiDa apparently fainted after the match, and had no idea that his team had won. He said he was immensely grateful to YASSHI for coming to check on him.

TRIVIA
~ According to YASSHI, the Dove tag belts are made from beer cans.

(DOVE) VAPER wrestler Naoki Tanizaki's Handle with Care Battle News! ~Dove wrestling and the course of the belts~

Pro Wrestling & Kakutougi News Site\Yahoo.co.jp
16th December 2020

"I have a lot to talk about, but I would like to talk a little about Dove's upcoming Hiroshima event in four days time. As the number of people infected with Corona increases in Hiroshima, although we feared that the event would be threatened, we continued to review the situation and we will hold it with perfect measures!

"BUMP BUMP REVOLUTION 16"

The event is titled this, but it is literally a passive revolution. This means that we are going to revolutionize by being passive, which is a skill unique to professional wrestlers. Receive, receive, endure, endure, find a way out, turn it into a revolution. It seems like a microcosm of life, being passive in the attacks of a spreading virus. Endurance is not the end, turn around and make a revolution!

The title match of the 11th champion Kenshin Chikano vs Ryota Nakatsu, for the Dove World Heavyweight, is the featured highlight of this time.
The former champion, Naoki Tanizaki, held the belt for about a year and a half, and won a belt vs belt match with Isami Kodaka, who I think of as my nemesis. Kenshin was the one who took the belt, which has an increased value by repeated defense battles overseas, and became the current champion and bought his history to it. Kenshin, who used to be dominant in a tag team with YO-HEY as the GinGin Boys, has emerged as a singles wrestler as his partner has left. Nowadays it seems that his ego and his determination to stand out as a single wrestler and to carry the promotion has come out. His opponent, Ryota Nakatsu, is the young leader who leads a unit called Sparky in Pro Wrestling BASARA. In BASARA we are teammates, and he is a powerful person who has regained UNION MAX for himself. There is also a sense of balance that makes me cannot believe he has only a six year career. Yes, both are wrestler who defeated me (laughs). Since they are equal in strength, I really don't know the result of this match.
The hot souls suit the words "Good Rival" who wrap the venue in enthusiasm each time. In the process I want you to burn. 

Kenshin took the belt at the end of last year, but due to the influence of the Coronavirus, this will be his first defense. 

There is also the Dove Tag Championship that has currently flowed out. 
The moment when the belt was lost, members of Dove Wrestling (Naoki Tanizaki, Kenshin Chikano, Jun Masaoka and Kyohei Kinoshita (REAL HIPSTAR), put their names forward, but it was BROTHER Yasshi who declared "Your rival will take the image of this asshole". As they had declared, the team of BROTHER & TiiDa (note, formerly known as Tida Heat), won the 3 WAY match at the Shinjuku FACE event in September, and now they will stand before the team of GAINA & HUB again. In the 12th tag team, they are perfect in that there is no gap in the individual ability of the career and their teamwork, there is the closeness of BROTHER and TiiDa (Ghetto Playerz), BROTHER'S passion. I want you to take the belts with the momentum of TiiDa who left Ryukyu Dragon Pro wrestling to become a freelancer! 
This will also be the first defense of the champions. 

Of course, there are other good cards at Dove Wrestling, which will challenge your feelings with a big match each time. Everyone who is planning to watch the event, please come and take all possible measures to prevent infection."

(DOVE) Handle with care! Battle News of vaper wrestler, Naoki Tanizaki ~ Pleased to meet you, Dove Wrestling~


"Nice to meet everyone who reads Battle News. I am Naoki Tanizaki, a wrestler who enjoys using VAPE, who belongs to Dove Wrestling. For those who are old or new readers, and those who are not familiar with me, I will be responsible for writing a column here every other week, I thank you for your continued support.

I think it would be quicker if you referred to Wikipedia for background etc. However, although there are some subtle differences in the Wiki (laughs). By nature, I don't hate writing, so with some trial and error I want to send this off while having fun. By the way, in the past, I wrote a column each week at a promotion that I belonged to for many years, and at the DDT sponsored Bastard Z produce, there was the Erotic Novel Deathmatch, where I participated in the match by reading it out loud. I have also been informed that the short story I wrote is one of the most highly rated works that has passed the second screening in the Gentosha contest, and I have been contacted to take charge of it. 
I will talk about that matter and VAPE again. 

Although this introduction is long, I would like to write an intro about the about the encounter with a promotion called Dove Wrestling, to which I currently belong. 
I first encountered Dove in 2015, about five years ago. Until then, I had only participated in DragonGate and a few other promotions, but when I first saw the video, it was love at first sight. It was the same impact as seeing pro wrestling for the first time in the second year of Junior High School!
It's not large, but it has an underground atmosphere of a live music club which is crowded with closely packed spectators. During the match, I was fascinated by how the DJ was enthusiastic about the sound, and the quality of the matches were not that of an indie group. I fell in love at first sight. It was an atmosphere that was filled with my favorite elements. Even though I still belonged to DragonGate at the time, I wanted to fight in this ring! Through a drinking buddy I got in touch with "Uchi" (Shoichi Uchida), who belongs to Dove, and my wish came true with the first offer*. 

At Club AgeHa (formerly the Dotonbori Arena, and now a hostel), I had a singles match with YO-HEY (who currently belongs to Noah) on August 23rd 2015. From that first participation, the urge of the libido still remained, and so I asked a friend who is a GOGO dancer to enter with me. 
I can't say that there were many customers, but the tightly packed crowd who were very drunk and in an atmosphere where amazing things like the sound from the DJ, the lighting, and the extraordinary pro wrestling was accelerating further, I left satisfied, refreshed with alcohol and excited. It felt good.
