MAX officals have had enough! Tiger Demon and his Demon Army were blocked from the arena today and Tiger Demon was told that if he or his group interfered in any more cards, he would be stripped of the MAX World Jr. Heavyweight title. It was also announced that RAVE and Kazuma Hamada will wrestle at the next big show with the winner getting a Jr. title shot. If Tiger refuses to defend the title, he will be suspended and the winner of the contender's match will automatically be awarded the title. Tiger Demon is said to be furious to say the least.

Taiki Fujiwara beat Devil Mitsu today to finally gain a point in the tournament. This was Mitsu's lost tournament match and he will go down as the only man to lose all matches.

The referee stopped the match after Hiromichi Takada could not get to his feet after a devestating Termination (elevated powerbomb). Takada is said to be okay and is still set to wrestle in the next show.

A major upset in the third match as Tyler Chase was able to defeat Kensuke Sasaki. Sasaki is disappointed with his performance in the tournament but he plans on returning to MAX after the tournament is over.

MAX World Heavyweight Champion, Genichiro Tenryu has one match left in the tournament. Part one of his prediction looks like it will come true and if things keep going the way they are, Tenryu could very well win the entire tournament. Tenryu has been dominant ever since winning the title and most no longer question who will beat him, but who Tenryu will defeat next.

Matches on today's card featured partner vs partner. The first was a TOKYO DARK match as T-800 fought the winless Devil Mitsu. The three members of the Demon Army attacked both men after the match. Tiger Demon said they were not only out to destroy MAX, but also to become the number one faction in the promotion. Demon claimed that his group is now affiliated with Voodoo-Murders who were previously aligned with TOKYO DARK.

XJPW went at it in the second match as the leader defeated the rookie. Taiki Fujiwara came close to winning many times, but was put down in the end by Takada's TDKO (Tombstone Driver Knock Out), his version of Hiroyoshi Tenzan's TTD.

Dan Eaton talked to the press after his match with Steven Simpson. He said that with N-GEN and Kong "thrown out of TOKYO DARK", this faction was now on the same page and would have no problem putting an end to Tiger Demon.

Super Warrior Beast continues to lose while his partner (Snake) and his opponent (Tenryu) have still yet to be defeated. Tenryu has proved why he is the MAX World Heavyweight Champion and has garanteed that he will go unfeated and win the tournament.
