    • At the beginning of the card, a promotional video was shown describing the recent injury of G-Pro President Clint Fletcher, the firing of Trent Gunryo, the debut of "Blood Angel" Simon Ezra and the attack on Wildcat's Brotherhood by two unidentified masked men.

    • G-Pro Commissioner Koto Oyadama then came down to the ring to announce that President Fletcher was still hospitalized but was improving.  He then went on to announce that G-Pro was working with the EMWC to cooperate on hosting a tournament for the EMWC Pacific Championship (see graphic below).

  4. In a Weapons From Heaven Death Match, Toshiaki "Pyro" Takada defeated The Regulator who was unable to answer a ten count following an Exploder superplex.

    • In a shocking surprise, a disoriented President Clint Fletcher appeared after escaping from the hospital.  In an angry tirade, Fletcher verbally abused G-Pro Commissioner Koto Oyadama for allowing things to get out of control.  He then re-established his booking control by forcing Hiryuu Batsu to defend their Trios titles in a tag match against Zokugun Sangai.

  5. "Black Dog" Yoshito Katsumura defeated Kamen Mekura by submission with a crucifix armbar.  At thirteen seconds, this was officially the shortest match to ever take place in Gunyro Pro history.

    • Immediately following Katsumura's match, touring UEW superstar "Black Knight" Alex Martinez came out and challenged "Black Dog" to a Japanese Death Rules Match.  Katsumura accepted the challenge.

  6. "Black Dog" Yoshito Katsumura defeated "Black Knight" Alex Martinez in a Japanese Death Rules Match by being the first man to stand after a brutal match which ended after a Black Dog Driver from the balcony to the arena floor.  Both men required medical attention after the match.

    • The members of Zokugun Sangai came down to the ring pretending to be gravely injured by a sneak attack from Hiryuu Batsu.  They announced the formation of the Z-Pro Dog Legs Division for incompetent wrestlers and then held a mock wrestling match in which the Dog Legs champions were crowned.

  7. Wuzho defeated "The Universal Heartthrob" Agito Nakajima by pinfall with his Quell The Fire jack-knife power bomb.

  8. Jinsei Shakanuzi's International Brotherhood defeated Wildcat's International Brotherhood by pinfall when Shakanuzi injured "ThunderStryke" Simon McQuaid's ankle after flinging him out of the ring with a back body drop.

    • After the trios match was over, Ms. Anna's new bodyguard, "The Winged Rider" Toru Okamoto, ran down to the ring and rescued McQuaid from a post-match beating.  Due to the severity of his injury, McQuaid had to be removed from ringside by stretcher.

    • In a post-match interview, Shakanuzi revealed that his masked partners were Mark Langseth and Vampyro, former enemies of his from NeCW.  Vampyro then removed his mask to reveal that he was none other than "Hardcore" Bobby Storm.

    • Continuing the debuts in G-Pro, Mark Langseth then introduced his friend, Mr. Honeydew who would be competing in Gunryo Pro.

  9. In a G-Pro International Trios Championship match, Zokugun Sangai defeated Hiryuu Batsu by pinfall when TORA Wanizame pinned The Banshee following interference by G-Pro President Clint Fletcher.  Zokugun Sangai were assisted in becoming the new champions when Fletcher came out in a disguise as "The Great Fletcha" and blew mist into The Banshee's eyes.

    • After the match, Zokugun Sangai humiliated Shoji Suzuki and The Banshee and proclaimed them the Z-Pro Dog Legs Champions.  Incensed, Jinsei Yakamotu left the commentator's booth and attacked Zokugun Sangai but was outnumbered and beaten up.
