By Mike Johnson on 2011-12-02 19:23:11
We are live at the ECW Arena for CHIKARA's Joshimania Night One.

Team JWP, Kaori Yoneyama & Hanako Nakamori & Tsubasa Kuragaki, vs. Archibald Peck and Los Ice Creams.

Kaori and Ice Cream Jr. started.  He mocked her, getting on his knees for a test of strength.  She nailed him with a flying bodypress but was caught and slammed.  Kaori sent him to the outside and teased a dive, then stopped at the ropes and slapped across the back of the neck.  Jr. ran into the arms of El Hijo del Ice Cream, whimpering. 

Hijo and Nakamori tagged in.  She scored a two count from a bodypress off the ropes.  Hijo came back with a suplex and grandstanded, screaming, "Viva Los Ice Creams!"  Nakamori came back with a Lucha takedown that sent both to the floor.  She nailed a flying bodypress off the top to the floor.  Nice mix of comedy and action so far.

Kuragaki and Peck tagged in.  She then tagged him hard with a chop.  He pouted, then chopped her.  They traded shoulderblocked attempts.   Peck tried to fake her out but was stomped and slammed down hard.   She nailed a slingshot senton splash and a springboard dropkick.  Peck tagged out.  Los Ice Creams hit the ring but were scared off by Kuragaki's screaming.

Kaori tagged in and nailed one of the Ice Creams with a bodypress.  They soon overwhelmed her, working her over with a arm pump in the corner while distracting the referees.  Peck tagged back in and controlled Kaori with a wristlock, screaming and mocking her.  She tried to mount a comeback but he kept working over Kaori's arm.   Ice Cream Jr. tagged in and continued the assault, locking on an abdominal stretch, using the ropes to strengthen the force of the hold.  Los Ice Creams went back to the armpump in the corner.

Peck and Ice Creams continued working over Kaori's arm.   The crowd began chanting for her, trying to rally a comeback.   The villains continued focusing on her arm until she finally tricked Los Ice Creams to do the arm pump to each other.  Peck tagged in and shoved Kaori down.  This fired her up and she caught him with a twisting DDT and a Northern Lights suplex for a two count.

Kaori went to the top for a big back senton splash but Los Ice Creams attacked and broke up the pin.  Nakamori hit the ring and battled both.  They went for a double suplex but she turned it into a double DDT for a two count.  Kuragaki nailed big suplexes on both.  She went to the top but was cut off by Peck.  This led to a big Tower of Doom spot tease which turned into Kuragaki doing a double Human Torture Rack on Peck and Hijo Del Ice Cream.  THAT'S DAMN IMPRESSIVE!!  They submitted!

Your winners in a little over 14 minutes, Team JWP!

An extremely entertaining opener with some good comedy and vibrant characters early, followed by some good six man tag action.  A really nice way to open the evening.

JWP Junior champion Sawako Shimono vs. GAMI (non-title)

GAMI is representing the WAVE promotion in Japan.   They shook hands at the bell, then locked up.  GAMI muscled Shimono to the ropes, then drilled her with a big boot for a two count.  Shimono fired up and nailed several shoulderblocks but couldn't budge GAMI.  She caught GAMI with a Samoan drop. 

GAMI was beaten in the corner but grabbed an object she brought to the ring and began beating Shimono with it.  No DQ?   GAMI began focusing on Shimono's shoulder working on it. GAMI walked the ropes like Jinsei Shinzaki, then began doing it backwards.  Shimono forced her to slip and crotch herself, then snapmared her over and locked in a sleeper.

She whipped GAMI into the corner but was caught with a thrust kick as she charged for a two count.  GAMI grabbed her into a rear chinlock, drilling an elbow into Shimono's forehead.  She battled back to her feet and they exchanged forearms.  GAMI peppered Shimono with them but Shimono ducked one and took her down and nailed the Earthquake sitdown splash for a two count.

Shimono went for a powerbomb but GAMI backdropped her over.  Shimono still surprised her with a cross armbreaker, but GAMI made it to the ropes and broke it.  The champion nailed a Samoan Drop for a two count, then ascended to the top.  GAMI cut her off and nailed a top rope hurancanrana for a two count.

Shimono battled back and nailed a Falcon's Arrow for a two count.  GAMI cut her off but was drilled with a series of forearms.  Shimono rebounded off the ropes but was cut off with a clubbing clothesline for a two count.  GAMI drilled her with a lariat and went for another but was caught in an inside cradle for a two count.  The crowd began chanting for the champ.

GAMI nailed a suplex for a two count.  She nailed a top rope elbow and scored the pin.

Your winner in 10:03, GAMI!

Solid back and forth match with the story being that the smaller, less experienced Shimono fought as hard as she could against the larger, more experienced GAMI.  Good stuff.

Tim Donst vs. Green Ant.

Donst controlled Ant early with some nice mat wrestling.  Ant caught with an abdominal stretch.   Donst made it the ropes and nailed a Gut Wretch suplex.  Ant and Donst went back and forth. Donst ended up on the floor, where Ant nailed a leaping knee off the apron.

Ant set up Donst in the ropes and went for a senton on the apron but Donst moved.  He pulled up Ant and belly to belly suplexed him back into the ring, then worked him over with crossfaces.  Ant fired back with a stiff chop but Donst overpowered him and teased a chop, then gave him a purple nurple instead.  Ant chopped him in the corner several times.   Donst came back, pulling Ant half off the apron and dropping him across his knee.

Back on the ring, Donst tied up Ant in a submission, trying to wear him down.  Ant fought back with a flurry of offense, including a leaping headbutt into a charging Donst.   Ant hit a double springboard into a hurancanrana and scored several two counts.   Ant began climbing the ropes but Donst, laying on the mat, shoved the ref into the ropes and Ant slipped.

Donst began whipping out the offense with several takedowns and suplexes, scoring a two count.   Ant fought back after he was placed on the ropes and nailed a tornado DDT.  He scored several takedowns on Donst and locked in a Boston Crab but Donst made it to the ropes.

Ant went for a rana but was caught and powerbombed down for a two count.  Donst grabbed him in a Fireman's Carry, climbed the buckles and nailed a Death Valley Driver off the ropes for a two count.    Donst went for a move but it was turned into an Angleslam by Ant.  Donst snapped his arm and locked in a sick looking arm and neck submission.  Ant finally tapped.

Your winner in 10:47, Tim Donst!
