MAX "ULTIMATE CHALLENGE", 3/28/06 (PPV)
Another big card for Pro-Wrestling MAX.
One of the biggest news items of the show was the tag team matches. All the tag matches were extremely competitive with each going over 25 mintues. Any team in MAX could be a threat to the Super Warriors tag team titles.
Another big news item was the rematch between Kazuma Hamada and N-GEN. Still furious over the press conference, Hamada had something to prove in his rematch with N-GEN. Hamada dominated from the opening bell to the end eventually finishing off N-GEN with his clutch overhead slam, Around the World.
Tiger Hero also looked very dominating as he defeated AJPW World Jr. Heavyweight champion, Shuji Kondo. Kondo, surprisingly didn't have any fellow Voodoo-Murder members at ringside.
Speaking of Voodoo-Murders, Chuck Palumbo had to be replaced on the card due to him returning to WWE. He was replaced by the returning Hannibal Kong, who was pinned after a grueling non-tile tag team match. Dan Eaton left the ring on his own after the match, perhaps meaning that things still aren't great between Kong and TOKYO DARK.
In the shocker of the night, Devil Mitsu was able to defeat the Great Muta in a wild and violent brawl. Mitsu pinned Muta after a chair attack and a powerbomb variation. Could things be looking up for Mitsu?
Genichiro Tenryu made another successful defense of the MAX World Heavyweight title by defeating ZERO1-MAX member, Masato Tanaka. Tenryu is by far the most dominating champion yet in Pro-Wrestling MAX. Tenryu said backstage that if he has to attack people in press conferences then so be it, as he feels his match was overshadowed.
The big announcement everyone was waiting for happened after the 5th match. The mystery participant in the Crash Carnival is KENSUKE SASAKI. Full lineups will be announced soon.
