ummm... thanks for the info. but who the **** are these people. i've never heard of any of these names. do have any other info to add to this? just something on atleast one of the better guys out of these lists of unknowns?

Umm when was the last time you did something in here???

that's what I thought.


King of Pancrase Heavyweight Title: Yoshiki Takahashi def. Tsuyoshi Ozawa via Doctor Stoppage - R1

Most of the guys in the tourney are youngsters, thus the "Neo Blood" (New blood) moniker.

Some general info:
- Takahashi has been Pancrase's HW champion for quite a while now;
- Shibuya & Yamamiya are more or less gate keepers (although either one of them has it in them to pull of an upset, as shown by Kei)
- Marquadt has been heavily pimped as the Pancrase's new MW (actaully WW by our standards) Kingpin, recently defeating long time champion Kiuma Kunioku & top ranked contender Izuru Takeuchi. However, the loss to Yamamiya is a bit of a shock (as is his underwhelming performance at ADCC).

thank you
