RIKI Army
vs. HUSTLE Union 5 vs. 5 Elimination Match: King RIKI, Riki Choshu, Genichiro
Tenryu, Yoshihiro Takayama & Wataru Sakata vs Magnum TOKYO, Toshiaki
Kawada, Shiro Koshinaka, René Duprée & Akira Shoji Following its
10/10/09 show the Hustle promotion went into liquidation. The final show Hustle
called 'JIHAD' was distinguished by its final ever main event - during which
Rene Dupree went out to show what he was made of. The English language reviews
all agreed that Dupree was at the top of his game ....
"The
final Hustle main event involved wrestlers from two teams battling each other
with the winner of one bout going on to face the next man from the other team.
Joining the action Rene Dupree comes in to battle Genichiro Tenryu who has won
the previous match.
"Tenryu attacks Dupree as he tries to come in between
the ring ropes and gives him the Randy Orton hangman's DDT before introducing
him to the turnbuckle pads and some of those great punches. Genichiro Irish
whips his man off the ropes and looks for a bodyslam, but Dupree is able to
turn it into a small package. Then, in a sentence that I never thought I would
type, RENE DUPREE PINS GENICHIRO TENRYU. Amazing.
Team 2
sends Wataru Sakata to the ring at this point.... bear in mind that Sakata is a
vanilla face with limited rings skills. Dupree takes him to a new level
.....
"Sakata and Dupree chop each other and Rene hits a flying
shoulderblock and a discus punch before taking Wataru to the corner for some
right hands. The former La Resistance member climbs to the top rope after a
slam, but Sakata cuts him off with a leaping kick that knocks Rene down
face-first into the turnbuckle. Sataka, seeing a big opening, charges at Dupree
as he stands on the apron and blasts him with a Yakuza kick that knocks him
down to the arena floor and into the guardrail. The collision with the rail
opens up a vein in Dupree's forehead, and he writhes on the floor while losing
blood. He attempts to re-enter the ring, and Sakata is briefly successful in
keeping him on the apron with some punches, but Dupree eventually lands a right
of his own and re-enters the squared circle.
The French Canadian doesn't stay
on top for long, though, as Sakata catches him with a back body drop and stuffs
him into the mat with a piledriver. Sakata stays on his opponent by applying a
chinlock, though he eventually releases the hold voluntarily and switches to a
series of kicks. Sakata continues with relatively nondescript offense for a bit
before removing the turnbuckle pad from one of the bolts. Why he would do that
when he is in control of the match I do not know.
He tosses Dupree into the
exposed bolt right in front of the referee, not drawing a disqualification.
Sakata follows that up with an overhead belly-to-belly suplex and climbs the ropes,
though he gives up on that when he sees that Dupree has begun to regain a
vertical base. Sakata knocks his man back down and goes up to the top, only to
have Rene cut him off with a dropkick.
Rene gets
up to the second rope, where the two men trade punches until Sakata uses the
exposed turnbuckle to his advantage, slamming the second generation star's head
into it several times. This causes Dupree to do a wacky, corckscrew-esque bump
off of the ropes and down to the mat. Sakata follows him off with a double
stomp the Quebecer's gut, but, instead of selling it like death, Dupree
immediately school boys Wataru and gets a flash two count. The same result
comes when he goes for an inside cradle. Dupree gets in some high-impact
offense as well, connecting with a sit-out spinebuster and attempting a German
suplex. Sakata lands on his feet out of that move, then going to the abdominal
stretch and then to a rear naked choke. Dupree is quickly out cold, and Sakata
gets the fall.......
Match Thoughts: Hustle elimination matches are
a bit odd to review , as you can't really look at them as one big match... What
you almost have to do is .. just enjoy the isolated sequences of awesome
grappling goodness when they pop up. Those moments were plentiful here,
including ... Rene Dupree showing more promise in eight minutes than he showed
in five years on WWE television.........
Old School!!

ハッスル連合軍の小路晃との先鋒対決を制し、幸先良く一人勝ち抜きを決めた天龍源一郎。一方、出鼻をくじかれてしまったハッスル連合軍の次鋒は、レネ・デュプリだ！はたして、レネはこの悪い流れを変えることができるのか!?
試合結果詳細を見る
閉じるダメージの残っている天龍はレネが入って来るなり延髄斬りで先制攻撃。さらにコーナーに顔面を叩き付け、得意のグーパンチを連発させる。そして、ラリアットの体勢に。ところがレネはこれをすかすと、パワースラムの体勢にキャッチされながら体重を移動させてスモールパッケージで丸め込む。不意をつかれた天龍はこれを返せず。レネがまんまと3カウントを奪い、星勘定を1勝1敗のタイブレイクに戻した。
---------------
ＲＩＫＩ軍団からは坂田がリングイン。チョップ合戦からレネがフライングショルダーを浴びせ、さらに顔面へのナックルの後でコーナーに上がるが、坂田がキックで迎撃し、エプロンに立ったところを場外へ落とすと、レネは勢いあまって顔面をテーブルにぶつけ、額から大量に出血。それでもリングに戻るが、なおも坂田のキック、パイルドライバー、キャメルクラッチ、ストンピングを食らってしまう。
５分経過。坂田は丁寧にレネを横たわらせてからコーナーに上がるが、レネも起き上がって反撃。しかし、坂田は追いすがるレネをマットに叩き落してニードロップ。レネは「ニッポンダイスキー」と叫んで気合を入れると、坂田のコブラツイスト、スリーパーホールドを必死で耐えたが、坂田は強引に締め落とした。
