Match observations:

Another sold out crowd this week. This time at Nagasaki Kokaido in Nagasaki.

Match of the card:
Sabu vs Petey Williams
Rating: **** 1/4

KAZARIAN has been released by SJPW for no-showing for his match with AKIRA TAUE.

Due to SABU winning the SJPW Cruiserweight Title and TOSHIAKI KAWADA winning the SJPW World Heavyweight Title, The SJPW World Tag Team Titles are now vacant and will be decided next week (7/2/05) in a (10-Team) Tag Team Battle Royal.

What a shocker: Who the hell would've believed that "The Phenomenal" AJ STYLES would turn heel? I would've never believed it. Styles turned on "The Future" CHRIS SABIN after a tag match earlier on in the card. One Question, what possessed AJ in doing such an act? Hopefully we'll get some answers soon!!

Wrestlers who didn't renew their contracts and are leaving SJPW are:

I think you need to turn down your no-shows...or stop firing people because of it. I can't say that I am all that familar with Kazarian, so it's not a big deal this time...but you are going to work to build someone up, only to have them no-show and ruin the whole thing.

Glad to see Williams and Hart out of the title scene...way overrated in my opinion.

Lyger and Tenzan leaving?!?!?! That has to suck!

Yes, it does suck that they wouldn't renew their contracts, Carlzilla. Hopefully one day they'll come back and re-sign.
