お待たせしました！久しぶりだね！
今日からプロレス観戦記が復帰します！よろしくお願いいたします。
とにかく、2月29日は新宿FACEにて「大鷲透デビュー20.21.22.23周年記念興行・ルチャンコ・スペシャル」を観に行って来ました！期待通り、凄く楽しい時間を過ごしました！とても楽しかったので、未だにこの大会のことを思い出す。プロレスファンの皆さんにとって、この大会は本当に見る価値があるから、大鷲グッズセンターでDVDを購入してくださいね！本当に必見です！
A few months back, I went to see Luchanko Special at Shinjuku FACE, and I had such a great time! I still think about this show sometimes, because it had such a big impact on me. Also, it's currently availalble on DVD on Toru Owashi's online store, and I feel like this is a show that's worth having a copy of. Toru Owashi's self-produced shows are always a showcase of incredible booking skills and great times to be had! Even with the various card changes that had to be made this time around, or possibly as a result of those card changes, Owashi brought us yet another amazing show! I absolutely recommend checking out some of his previous Luchanko-branded shows if you can, but if you can't, you shouldn't miss out on this one!

A fun and enjoyable tag match to start off the show! Named "Bonds of Affliction", this match brought together four wrestlers from different promotions who had overcome various injuries in the past year or so. Everyone worked together so well!

とても良い写真を撮れたから、嬉しかった！（斉藤ジュン選手が大好きだから、沢山写真を撮ったけど、ちょっと怖い写真もあったね。。。！）
This is one of those matches that you kinda have to mentally prepare yourself for, but the audience absolutely LOVED it, and I had a great time seeing this live!
Jun Saito and Rei Saito were originally going to have a tag match against the Brahman Brothers on this show, which was very highly anticipated because having two sets of twins fighting each other is a brilliant idea! Sadly, Rei Saito was unable to take part due to his shoulder injury, so the Brahman Brothers were set to take on Yuma and Atsuki Aoyagi (which I'll talk more about later), and Jun Saito ended up in this match.
You know when you see a match announcement, and you immediately have a good idea of what's going to happen?
Well, that's pretty much what happened here, and frankly, it was GLORIOUS. Jun Saito, being far and away the most handsome man on his team, was always going to be the target of the opposing team's... affection? "Affection" seems like the wrong word here, but Jun was VERY popular with those guys, and with Mascara Gaylera Jr. in particular, who planted a huge kiss on Jun during the match, which got an amazing reaction from everyone in the audience, ranging from screams of terror to screams of happiness (I think I let out a yell of pure jealousy tbh). Okamakoto, everyone's favourite sleep paralysis demon, also gave a very memorable performance. For the most part, Osugi, Senga, Honda and Hirata seemed to take a back seat, while Jun Saito took various other things during this match, but the anticipation of whatever crazy stuff was going to happen next made this a really fun match to watch!
スペシャル3WAYマッチ～悪冠一色vs闘龍門2期生vsCDK（30分1本勝負）

Special 3 Way Match, Aagan Iisou vs. Toryumon 2nd Class vs. CDK, 30mins 1 fall
Chris Brookes and Masahiro Takanashi vs. Takuya Sugawara and Shogo "Jet" Takagi vs. Genki Horiguchi and Kenichiro Arai
Brookes defeated Takagi with everclear at 10mins 21s.
この試合を観るのが楽しかったね！
Even without a detailed knowledge of the history of Toryumon or DRAGONGATE, this was a really enjoyable match where all the pieces fell into place really well! (To be honest, this could be said about any match on this show. Everything just seemed to Work, y'know? Gotta love it when that happens!)
CDK won a year's supply of some kind of scalp treatment that's supposed to promote hair growth. However, as Brookes and Takanashi have no problems growing their own hair, they very generously gave the prize to Genki Horiguchi, who was so happy about it that he did a certain dance that everyone likes!
スペシャルタッグマッチ（30分1本勝負）

Rematch
Yuma Aoyagi and Aja Kong vs. Brahman Shu and Brahman Kei
Aja defeated Kei with the Uraken at 7mins 42s.
カードが変更されたけど、本当に凄い試合になったね！
This match was originally going to be Jun Saito and Rei Saito vs. Brahman Shu and Brahman Kei, but Rei Saito got injured. Then, it was going to be Yuma Aoyagi and Atsuki Aoyagi vs. Brahman Shu and Brahman Kei, but Atsuki Aoyagi got injured. Toru Owashi was in a pinch. He'd wanted a Brothers vs. Brothers tag match on his show, but he'd run out of brothers he could book. The next best thing he could do was book someone with a name starting with "A" to be Yuma Aoyagi's partner. So, he checked his contacts list, and he found just the right person for the job!
In the run up to the show, Aoyagi's partner was only announced as X. Little did we know that Yuma Aoyagi's partner was going to be AJA KONG!!
This match had all the craziness you'd expect from a Brahman Brothers match, including their infamous bowling spot, and again, everything worked so well! I absolutely loved how well Yuma Aoyagi and Aja Kong worked so well as a team. Owashi really is a genius booker. Sometimes, wonderful things happen as a result of a seemingly desperate situation, and Owashi responded to the changes he had to make to his show in the best possible way! He really showed a lot of creativity in the face of a crisis, and he made an already great show even more special.
Afterwards, Jun and Rei Saito made an appearance, and promised that the Saito Brothers vs. the Brahman Brothers would definitely happen some day...!
ドラゴン・キッド＆○望月ススム＆神田ヤスシ＆土井成樹（16分7秒、ジャンボの勝ち！固め）大鷲透●＆“brother”YASSHI＆しゃちほこマシーン弐号＆ペスカトーレ八木＆大家健
全試合終了後、大鷲選手は色々な発表しました。
先ず、大鷲選手がプロレス専業期間を“あと１年”と発表しました。そして、ＤＲＡＧＯＮＧＡＴＥレギュラー参戦を熱望して、斎藤了ＧＭが了承しました。
At the end of the show, Owashi had a few important announcements to make...
First of all, although he definitely isn't considering fully retiring for the time being, he plans to wrestle regularly for just one more year.
Then, he made a special request to DRAGONGATE GM, Ryo Saito, that he wanted to participate regularly in DRAGONGATE, alongside his usual appearances in DDT. Saito approved of Owashi's request!
("brother" YASSHI looks really nice in this photo, don't you think?)
最後の発表は。。。
2025年、大鷲透尿管結石15周年記念興行「ルチャンコ・パーティー」が開催決定！！凄く楽しみにしてます！
。。。あれ？尿管結石？
One final announcement came at the end of the show... in 2025, a show called Luchanko Party will be held to celebrate the 15th anniversary of Toru Owashi's kidney stones! (Seriously, that's what it says, I double checked and everything)
