I went through my Wrestling Observers and got results and other goings-ons in BJW. If people are interested in this, I might be able to get 1998 done sometime this month.
"The Big Japan Pro Wrestling promotion held a press conference also on 3/6 to announce its 4/1 Korakuen Hall show headlined by an Electric death match with Tarzan Goto & Mitsuhiro Matsunaga vs. Seiji Yamakawa & Shoji Nakamaki. The big angJe at the press conference is that Big Japan President Shinya Kojika was attacked by Takashi Ishikawa of the Ishikawa Ikka promotion (the two promotions are feuding, and at the Ishikawa group's debut show, Kojika jumped Ishikawa in the shower).

Takashi Ishikawa & Kengo Kimura b Nakamaki & Okano to become first champions
"Kengo Kimura & Takashi Ishikawa won the Big Japan promotion's tag team titles on 6/3 at Korakuen Hall beating Shoji Nakamaki & Takashi Okano in the finals of the tournament to crown the first champions. That will probably heat up the interpromotional feud because after the match Shinya Kojika said he was going to resign as Big Japan President because his company's team failed to win the tag team tournament, although he was still acting as President and gave a speech in the ring at the big show four days later. Kimura & Ishikawa made their first title defense on the 6/7 Big Japan show at Yokohama Bunka Gym beating the New Japan team of Shiro Koshinaka & Akitoshi Saito when Ishikawa clamped the Sumopian deathlock (a scorpion deathlock but Ishikawa cal1s it the sumopian deathloc.k because he was a sumo wrestler in the 70s) on Saito. During the match Ishikawa hit Kimura with a clothesline by accident. As their hands were being raised, Kimura walked out on Ishikawa said screamed "fuck you" really loud and walked out of the building without taking a shower. They're basically doing a Steve Austin & Shawn Michaels gimmick with Ishikawa & Kimura"

"Seiji Yamakawa and Yoshihiro Tajiri of Big Japan were in, but due to money problems, are already gone to Mexico. Both were promised $300 a week for coming in, but were never paid and left. Great Sensei (Hiroshi Hatanaka) was promised $500 per week but after five weeks they were already $800 behind on paying him and still owed him $1,700 from a previous tour and many other foreign wrestlers are owed large sums of money. Capitol Sports, which was once a thriving promotion that employed 20 front office employees alone, now has a front office that consists of Colon and Victor Jovica and they are literally hanging by a thread"

Bunkhouse death match: Great Pogo b Shoji Nakamaki
"Big Japan's tour continued this week with major shows on 7/31 in Tokyo and 8/3 in Osaka. In Tokyo, in what was billed as a Lumberjack match under Vale Tudo rules (think about the silliness of that one), Great Pogo beat Shiny a Kojika. Kojika had Pogo in a Fujiwara armbar when Pogo Shadow V (who had worked the tour up to that point as Gran Sheik, actually EI Paso, TX based Luchador Ari Romero) threw powder in Kojika's eyes and Pogo pinned him with a lariat. Exactly what you'd expect to see every day under Vale Tudo rules. Main event saw Yoshihiro Tajiri & Seiji Yamakawa retain their Big Japan tag titles going to a 60:00 draw with Gedo & Jado. In Osaka, Pogo beat Shoji Nakamaki in the main event"

"Apparently there was a horrible case of food poisoning among the boys in Big Japan. They went out to dinner after their 9/14 show with the local sponsor, and after dinner went on the tour bus. 14 of the wrestlers got sick, throwing up and getting diahrrea as did the ring announcer and owner Shinya Kojika. The 9/15 show in Gifu had to be canceled because there weren't enough wrestlers that would be able to work and they were scheduled back on 9/17 at Korakuen Hall."

"Big Japan is going to do an interpromotional angle with Onita's Zen group which will probably be shot on the 12/19 FMW show where Shoji Nakamaki wiH challenge Onita. Nakamaki was years ago a protege of Onita in the FMW before leaving and becoming something of a sicko star with other brutal indies. This was pretty much hinted at as Big Japan held its third anniversary party on 12/15 showing their new singles, tag team and junior heavyweight titles that wiH be fought for in 1998. Kojika and Nakamaki talked about an Onita-Nakamaki feud. Seiji Sakaguchi was at the party"

Nakamaki & Okano b Yoshihiro Tajiri & Yuichi Taniguchi
Takashi Ishikawa & Kengo Kimura b Nakamaki & Okano to become first champions
"Kengo Kimura & Takashi Ishikawa won the Big Japan promotion's tag team titles on 6/3 at Korakuen Hall beating Shoji Nakamaki & Takashi Okano in the finals of the tournament to crown the first champions. That will probably heat up the interpromotional feud because after the match Shinya Kojika said he was going to resign as Big Japan President because his company's team failed to win the tag team tournament, although he was still acting as President and gave a speech in the ring at the big show four days later. Kimura & Ishikawa made their first title defense on the 6/7 Big Japan show at Yokohama Bunka Gym beating the New Japan team of Shiro Koshinaka & Akitoshi Saito when Ishikawa clamped the Sumopian deathlock (a scorpion deathlock but Ishikawa cal1s it the sumopian deathloc.k because he was a sumo wrestler in the 70s) on Saito. During the match Ishikawa hit Kimura with a clothesline by accident. As their hands were being raised, Kimura walked out on Ishikawa said screamed "fuck you" really loud and walked out of the building without taking a shower. They're basically doing a Steve Austin & Shawn Michaels gimmick with Ishikawa & Kimura"

"Seiji Yamakawa and Yoshihiro Tajiri of Big Japan were in, but due to money problems, are already gone to Mexico. Both were promised $300 a week for coming in, but were never paid and left. Great Sensei (Hiroshi Hatanaka) was promised $500 per week but after five weeks they were already $800 behind on paying him and still owed him $1,700 from a previous tour and many other foreign wrestlers are owed large sums of money. Capitol Sports, which was once a thriving promotion that employed 20 front office employees alone, now has a front office that consists of Colon and Victor Jovica and they are literally hanging by a thread"

Bunkhouse death match: Great Pogo b Shoji Nakamaki
"Big Japan's tour continued this week with major shows on 7/31 in Tokyo and 8/3 in Osaka. In Tokyo, in what was billed as a Lumberjack match under Vale Tudo rules (think about the silliness of that one), Great Pogo beat Shiny a Kojika. Kojika had Pogo in a Fujiwara armbar when Pogo Shadow V (who had worked the tour up to that point as Gran Sheik, actually EI Paso, TX based Luchador Ari Romero) threw powder in Kojika's eyes and Pogo pinned him with a lariat. Exactly what you'd expect to see every day under Vale Tudo rules. Main event saw Yoshihiro Tajiri & Seiji Yamakawa retain their Big Japan tag titles going to a 60:00 draw with Gedo & Jado. In Osaka, Pogo beat Shoji Nakamaki in the main event"

"Apparently there was a horrible case of food poisoning among the boys in Big Japan. They went out to dinner after their 9/14 show with the local sponsor, and after dinner went on the tour bus. 14 of the wrestlers got sick, throwing up and getting diahrrea as did the ring announcer and owner Shinya Kojika. The 9/15 show in Gifu had to be canceled because there weren't enough wrestlers that would be able to work and they were scheduled back on 9/17 at Korakuen Hall."

"Big Japan is going to do an interpromotional angle with Onita's Zen group which will probably be shot on the 12/19 FMW show where Shoji Nakamaki wiH challenge Onita. Nakamaki was years ago a protege of Onita in the FMW before leaving and becoming something of a sicko star with other brutal indies. This was pretty much hinted at as Big Japan held its third anniversary party on 12/15 showing their new singles, tag team and junior heavyweight titles that wiH be fought for in 1998. Kojika and Nakamaki talked about an Onita-Nakamaki feud. Seiji Sakaguchi was at the party"
