From 7/11-7/14 at Shimonoseki’s Fugu Hall, MJPW will present the PYRAMID GRAPPLING LEAGUE, an exhibition series of bouts that feature our “sport form” rules, a unique match style that showcases the technical skill and athleticism of the company’s competitors. Three fighters will participate in this exhibition series: former MAX-J Heavyweight Champion and catch wrestling veteran Mike Musket, former MAX-J Jr. Heavyweight Champion and dual BJJ and amateur wrestling specialist Matt Pulver, and the superheavyweight newcomer “Mountain” Shinjiro Nakama.
From 7/11-7/13, each wrestler will fight against the other two opponents in respective bouts. Each night, one fighter will receive a refrain from having to wrestle back-to-back bouts. On 7/14, there will be a final bout between the two fighters that accumulate the most points. In the event of a 3-way tie, the fighters will compete until both men eliminate a fighter and then the final match will be held.
As a reminder, the exact nature in which matches conclude play an important role in determining the number of points a fighter accumulates. Victory via submission earns 3 points, unanimous judges’ decision earns 2 points, a split decision earns 1 point, draws earn no points for either fighter, and a loss subtracts 1 point from a fighter’s total.
