Hey there readers, we have been passed a dossier on William Moseley, known as Kingmaker, Captain Chronic, Lucian Knight and other aliases. This information is all public record.

Dossier: An Investigative Analysis of the Moseley-Koch Corporate Network

I. Executive Summary

This report presents a comprehensive investigation into the corporate activities of William H. Moseley and Ryan D. Koch, focusing on a network of business entities primarily registered in the state of Oregon. The analysis deconstructs a complex ecosystem of companies operating under two main umbrellas: the consumer-facing "Kingmaker" brand family and the "Prometheus" management entities. The findings are based on a meticulous review of Oregon Secretary of State corporate filings.

A central and recurring pattern has been identified throughout the subjects' business history: the prolific formation of numerous limited liability companies (LLCs) and assumed business names (ABNs), the vast majority of which exhibit a conspicuously short operational lifespan. These entities frequently cease to exist not through voluntary dissolution but via administrative dissolution by the state for failure to adhere to basic corporate formalities, such as filing annual reports or paying requisite fees. This practice of corporate transience is a defining characteristic of the network.

Furthermore, the investigation reveals a recent and significant alteration to the corporate hierarchy. In late 2024, a newly formed entity, PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC, co-managed by both Moseley and Koch, was strategically inserted as the official manager of the flagship entity, KINGMAKER LLC. This maneuver adds a layer of corporate insulation, distancing the individual principals from the direct management and liabilities of their primary operational company.

While the user's query posits the existence of a "fraudulent empire," this investigation concludes that the available evidence does not, in isolation, constitute direct proof of criminal fraud. However, the corporate practices observed are highly irregular and raise substantial red flags concerning business stability, operational transparency, and potential strategies for asset shielding or liability evasion. The remainder of this dossier provides a detailed deconstruction of these patterns, offering an evidence-based analysis of the structure, history, and conduct of the Moseley-Koch corporate network.

II. Profiles of Principal Individuals and Key Associates

An understanding of the principal figures and their associates is essential to contextualizing the corporate network's activities. The professional backgrounds of William Moseley and Ryan Koch, in particular, present a study in contrasts that informs the analysis of their shared business ventures.

A. William H. Moseley

William H. Moseley, born July 29, 1986, is a principal figure in a complex network of Oregon-based business entities. His identity as a business operator is established through numerous corporate filings with the Oregon Secretary of State, which link him directly to the "Kingmaker" and "Prometheus" brand families.¹

Moseley is listed as the registered agent, manager, or member for a constellation of limited liability companies (LLCs) and assumed business names (ABNs). These include the flagship entity KINGMAKER LLC, which he registered in 2016, and the management company PROMETHEUS INVESTMENTS LLC (2017-2018).¹ He is also a co-manager, alongside Ryan D. Koch, of the more recent management entity, PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC, formed in 2024.¹

His business activities, as documented in these public records, are characterized by the formation of numerous entities that exhibit a pattern of corporate transience. The flagship company, KINGMAKER LLC, for example, was administratively dissolved by the state before being reinstated.¹ This pattern is a defining feature of his ventures with Ryan Koch and forms a central part of this dossier's analysis.

B. Ryan D. Koch

Ryan D. Koch's professional background originates in the agricultural sector, which stands in contrast to the media and technology ventures he has pursued with Moseley.

Koch's primary and most stable business is rooted in his family's farming operations in Canby, Oregon. He is the principal of RYAN KOCH FARMS LLC (Registry #894927-98), an active entity since 2012 with a consistent history of annual reports.¹ He is also associated with Koch Legacy Farms, which cultivates both conventional and certified organic crops.² His public profile includes activity in agricultural policy, having submitted testimony to the Oregon House Committee on Labor and Workplace Standards regarding farm labor regulations.³

The corporate records document a significant expansion of Koch's activities beyond agriculture through his partnership with Moseley. He is listed as the registered agent, manager, or principal for a multitude of LLCs, many of which are co-managed with Moseley or operate from the same Tualatin address.¹ These ventures span various industries, including online media (KINGMAKER ONLINE LLC), cannabis (DUNGEON VAULT GENETICS LLC), and psilocybin (PSILOCYBIN FACTORY LLC).¹ The address

21888 SW Blackfoot Dr, Tualatin serves as a primary nexus for these non-farming enterprises.¹

A formal partnership between the two is legally structured through PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC, an entity co-managed by both men.¹

Koch's business history shows a clear trajectory of diversification from a traditional, stable agricultural business into more speculative and volatile ventures. The high failure rate of these newer entities is notable. While RYAN KOCH FARMS LLC remains active, nearly all of Koch's other registered ventures—such as PSILOCYBIN FACTORY LLC, KINGMAKER STORE LLC, EVERYTHING HEIRLOOM ORGANICS LLC, and DUNGEON VAULT GENETICS LLC—were administratively dissolved by the state after short periods of operation.¹ This pattern suggests either a series of unsuccessful business concepts or a deliberate business model that involves cycling through corporate shells for short-term objectives.

C. Key Associates

The corporate filings identify several other individuals associated with specific entities within the network, though their roles appear to be confined to those ventures.

• Robin Widmer: Listed as a member and general partner alongside Moseley in BURNING HILLS GARDEN LLC and BURNING HILLS GARDEN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, both of which were short-lived.¹ The Widmer name is associated with Oregon's craft brewing industry, suggesting a brief, potentially cannabis-related, partnership that did not proceed.

• Danica Sheean: The registered agent and member for KINGMAKER COLLECTIVE, LLC.¹ Public records indicate she is a film producer based in the Portland area.

• David Shepp: The registered agent for KINGMAKER COACHING, LLC.¹ His identity remains unconfirmed, with multiple individuals sharing the name in Oregon.

III. Deconstruction of the Corporate Structure

The network of entities associated with Moseley and Koch is characterized by a complex, layered, and fluid structure. Analysis of the corporate filings reveals a recent strategic shift in management control and a consistent pattern of creating and dissolving entities under the "Kingmaker" brand.

A. The Prometheus Management Layer

The "Prometheus" name has been used for two distinct management-style entities, with the most recent formation representing a significant evolution in the network's corporate architecture.

• PROMETHEUS INVESTMENTS LLC (2017-2018): This entity (Registry #1302993-99) was formed solely by William Moseley in March 2017.¹ Its purpose appeared to be as a holding or investment vehicle; during its brief existence, it served as the authorized representative and registrant for the assumed business name KINGMAKER GENETIX.¹ The LLC was administratively dissolved by the state in May 2018, just 14 months after its formation.¹

• PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC (2024-Present): Formed in October 2024, this entity (Registry #2317962-93) marks a formalization of the Moseley-Koch partnership, with both individuals listed as managers.¹ Unlike their other ventures, they utilized a professional third-party service, REGISTERED AGENTS INC, as the registered agent, a common practice to enhance privacy and create a formal separation between the principals and the legal address of the company.¹

The creation of PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC was immediately followed by a pivotal change in the management of the entire Kingmaker enterprise. The flagship entity, KINGMAKER LLC, had historically been managed directly by its principals. However, in an amended annual report filed on December 9, 2024, the newly created PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC was officially designated as the manager of record for KINGMAKER LLC.¹

This is a sophisticated corporate structuring maneuver. It transforms a direct management model into a hierarchical one, interposing one LLC as the manager of another. The legal and practical implication is the creation of an additional corporate veil. It formally removes Moseley and Koch from the direct management line of KINGMAKER LLC, making them managers of a management company instead. This structure could potentially complicate legal actions against the individuals, as operational decisions within KINGMAKER LLC are now, on paper, the responsibility of another corporate entity.

B. The Kingmaker Nexus: A Constellation of Brands

The "Kingmaker" brand is the public-facing identity for the majority of the network's ventures. It is comprised of a central LLC and numerous subsidiary LLCs and ABNs, most of which are now defunct.

• KINGMAKER LLC (2016-Present): This is the core entity of the network (Registry #1271891-99), registered by William Moseley in December 2016.¹ Its history is marked by instability; it was administratively dissolved in January 2019 for failure to file but was reinstated just one month later.¹ It currently serves as the legal registrant for the ABNs KINGMAKER CANNABIS and KINGMAKER MUSIC and is now managed by PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC.¹

• KINGMAKER CANNABIS (ABN): This brand has been registered twice. The first registration (2019-2021) was filed by Moseley personally from a Beaverton address.¹ After it expired, a new registration (2022-2024) was filed by the parent KINGMAKER LLC from the Tualatin address, with Moseley's personal address listed in Oklahoma City.¹ Both registrations were allowed to lapse due to failure to renew.¹

• KINGMAKER MUSIC LLC (2018-2022) and KINGMAKER MUSIC (ABN) (2022-2024): This pair of entities provides the clearest example of a "phoenix" business model. KINGMAKER MUSIC LLC (Registry #1442219-91), with members Moseley and Dustin Miller, was formed in May 2018. It was administratively dissolved in September 2022.¹ Less than one month later, in October 2022, the exact same name was registered as an ABN (Registry #2026938-91) by the parent company, KINGMAKER LLC.¹ This ABN was subsequently allowed to lapse in December 2024.¹ This sequence suggests a deliberate strategy to continue a business operation under the same brand while shedding the original corporate entity and any liabilities attached to it. Creditors of the dissolved LLC would be left with a defunct shell, while the business continues under a new legal structure.

• Other Dissolved "Kingmaker" Entities: A trail of short-lived, dissolved entities demonstrates the transient nature of the brand's ventures. These include:

  • KINGMAKER STORE LLC (2021-2022), with Ryan Koch as agent.¹

  • KINGMAKER COLLECTIVE, LLC (2020-2023), with Danica Sheean as agent.¹

  • KINGMAKER COACHING, LLC (2022-2023), with David Shepp as agent.¹

• KINGMAKER ONLINE LLC (2023-Present): This is one of the few currently active entities (Registry #2125098-97), with both Moseley and Koch listed as managers.¹

C. Ancillary and Legacy Ventures

Beyond the Kingmaker brand, the principals have been involved in numerous other ventures, nearly all of which followed the same pattern of short-term existence followed by administrative dissolution.

• Ventures Led by Ryan Koch:

  • YOUTH AGAIN FITNESS (ABN, 2016-2018) ¹

  • 3 MAPLES FARM LLC (2014-2017) ¹

  • DUNGEON VAULT GENETICS LLC (2017-2018) ¹

  • EVERYTHING HEIRLOOM ORGANICS LLC (2020-2021) ¹

  • PSILOCYBIN FACTORY LLC (2022-2023) ¹

• Ventures Led by William Moseley:

  • BURNING HILLS GARDEN LIMITED PARTNERSHIP (2016-2017, cancelled) ¹

  • BURNING HILLS GARDEN LLC (2017-2019) ¹

  • RAYNASBUTTERFLY (ABN, 2010-2012) ¹

D. Corporate Network Visualization

The corporate structure can be visualized as a hierarchical network. At the apex are the principals, William Moseley and Ryan Koch. They jointly control PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC. An arrow of management authority extends from PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC to the central operational hub, KINGMAKER LLC. Radiating outwards from KINGMAKER LLC and the individual principals are lines connecting to the numerous subsidiary and ancillary entities. When color-coded by status, this chart would be overwhelmingly dominated by entities marked "Administratively Dissolved," visually underscoring the network's high rate of corporate attrition.

IV. Analysis of Corporate Conduct and Identified Red Flags

The structure and history of the Moseley-Koch corporate network are not characteristic of typical small business growth and failure. Instead, they reveal consistent patterns of behavior that suggest a deliberate, if unorthodox, business methodology. This analysis focuses on two primary red flags: the practice of serial corporate dissolutions and the strategic use of a centralized address to manage a sprawling and opaque network.

A. The Pattern of Serial Dissolutions

The most prominent feature of the Moseley-Koch portfolio is the sheer volume of failed entities. A quantitative review of the entities listed in Appendix A shows that of the more than 20 businesses directly tied to the principals, the vast majority are inactive. Their demise is consistently attributed to administrative dissolution by the Oregon Secretary of State for failure to file annual reports or pay fees.¹ The average lifespan of these dissolved companies is remarkably short, typically between one and three years.

It is crucial to understand the nature of administrative dissolution. This is not a voluntary and orderly winding down of a business, which would involve settling debts and formally filing articles of dissolution. Rather, it is an involuntary action taken by the state when a company neglects its most basic legal obligations. For an entrepreneur like Koch, who operates a stable, long-term family farm, such repeated administrative lapses are unlikely to be accidental or the result of incompetence.²

This consistent pattern points toward a potential strategy of using LLCs as disposable vehicles for specific, high-risk, or short-term projects—a practice that can be described as "liability burn-off." The process would function as follows: an LLC is formed for a new venture, it operates for a period during which it may accrue trade debts, contractual obligations, or potential legal liabilities. Instead of formally resolving these obligations, the entity is simply abandoned. The state eventually dissolves it, leaving any creditors with a defunct, asset-less shell to pursue. The principals can then form a new, legally clean LLC or ABN to continue the same or a similar business activity, effectively shedding the liabilities of the previous entity. The "phoenixing" of Kingmaker Music from a dissolved LLC into an ABN under the parent company is a textbook example of this potential strategy in action.¹ While not inherently illegal, a demonstrable pattern of using this method to leave creditors empty-handed can be used as evidence of fraudulent conveyance or an overarching intent to defraud.

B. Centralization and Obfuscation via Shared Address

The vast majority of the Kingmaker and Prometheus entities, as well as many of Koch's ancillary ventures, are linked to a single physical address: 21888 SW Blackfoot Dr, Tualatin, OR 97062.¹ This address appears repeatedly as the principal place of business, the mailing address, and the registered agent's address for at least ten different companies.¹

This centralization demonstrates that these are not disparate, independent businesses but a centrally managed web of interconnected corporate shells. While operationally convenient for the principals, this commingling of addresses makes it difficult for outside parties—such as creditors, regulators, or litigants—to distinguish the operations, assets, and liabilities of one entity from another. This obfuscation, whether intentional or incidental, complicates due diligence and accountability. The recent move to use a professional registered agent service for the new top-tier management company, PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC, represents a further step in this direction, adding a layer of professional anonymity and distancing the principals' personal and business addresses from the public record of their primary management entity.¹

V. Synthesis and Concluding Assessment

The investigation into the corporate network of William Moseley and Ryan Koch reveals a sophisticated and deliberate business methodology characterized by a high velocity of entity creation and dissolution. This network is managed through a centralized structure that has recently been modified to increase corporate layering and obfuscate direct control by the principals.

The defining behavior of this network is the consistent use of limited liability companies as transient, disposable vehicles. The vast majority of the entities associated with Moseley and Koch have been administratively dissolved by the state after brief operational periods. This pattern strongly suggests a strategic purpose. The practice of "liability burn-off"—allowing an LLC with potential debts or legal exposure to be involuntarily dissolved while the underlying business continues in a new corporate shell—is a significant red flag. The "phoenixing" of the Kingmaker Music brand from a dissolved LLC to an ABN is a clear tactical example of this strategy.

These practices, when viewed in aggregate, align with and point to potential wrongdoing. The serial dissolution of companies and the rapid rebirth of their brands under new legal structures are common tactics in schemes designed to defraud creditors and evade accountability. The recent restructuring, which places PROMETHEUS GROUP LLC as a management layer above KINGMAKER LLC, further insulates the principals and complicates efforts to assign direct liability.

However, it must be stated unequivocally that the corporate filings and public records reviewed for this report, while deeply suspicious, do not in themselves constitute proof of fraud. They establish a clear pattern of questionable business practices that prioritize opacity over transparency and transience over stability. They demonstrate a methodology that is high-risk for any potential partners, investors, or creditors.

For any party considering legal action, the findings of this report suggest a clear path for further investigation. A primary legal strategy would likely involve an attempt to "pierce the corporate veil." This would require demonstrating to a court that the numerous LLCs were not treated as distinct, separate entities but were, in fact, part of a single enterprise controlled entirely by Moseley and Koch for their personal benefit. The evidence of a shared central address, interlocking management, and the fluid transfer of brand names between entities would be central to such an argument. A successful effort would allow a claimant to bypass the dissolved corporate shells and pursue the assets of the parent companies and the principals themselves.

Ultimately, definitive proof of fraudulent activity would require forensic financial analysis. Subpoenas for bank records would be necessary to trace the flow of funds between these entities to determine if assets were improperly shifted from dissolved companies to new ones, leaving creditors with no recourse. The corporate structure detailed in this dossier provides a comprehensive roadmap for such a financial investigation.

There you have it. Sound off in the comments if you have anything to add about this and always remember: DOXING IS NOT PERMITTED ON THIS SITE.

 

PUBLIC WARNING: William Moseley & "Kingmaker Music"

To Our Fans, Friends, and Fellow Artists,

The purpose of this post is to issue a formal public warning regarding the fraudulent activities of William Moseley, operating under entities such as "Kingmaker Music" and "Kingmaker TV."

For years, our community has been the target of a widespread campaign of theft, and it's crucial that everyone is aware of the facts to protect themselves and the artists they support. William Moseley was formerly employed in a tech capacity for Dustin Miller (D-Loc). In 2018-2019, he abused his trusted access to systematically hijack numerous digital assets.

This was not a business dispute; it was a premeditated digital heist.

THE STOLEN PLATFORMS

The following channels and accounts were stolen from their rightful owners and rebranded by Moseley for his own profit:

• YouTube Channel: "Made for Kings"

  • This was the original "Kottonmouth Kings TV." It was stolen.

• YouTube Channel: "Kingmaker TV"

  • This was Dustin Miller's personal "D-Loc TV." It was stolen.

• Instagram Account: @KingmakerCEO

  • This was the official Kottonmouth Kings brand account. It was stolen.

• Instagram Account: @iamcaptaicchronic

  • This was Dustin Miller's personal "D-Loc" account. It was stolen.

THE STOLEN MUSIC

Moseley has illegally published a massive catalog of music across these channels to which HE OWNS ZERO RIGHTS. He is profiting from the hard work of dozens of artists who never signed any deal with him, never gave him permission, and have never been compensated by him. He has stolen music from:

Johnny Richter, Chucky Chuck, Iakopo, Spice 1, Mendo Dope, Judge D, UPso, Brawdcast, C4mula, Lighter Shade of Brown, Trizz, Yung Zeke, Twista, Oowee, Kurupt, Black Silver, Good Ol' Boyz, SMO, Ballyhoo!, Audic Empire, The Rezinatorz, and most despicably, our fallen brother Saint Dog.

To be clear, William Moseley is profiting by stealing from a dead man's family.

ESCALATION TO REAL-WORLD CRIME

Recently, Moseley's actions have escalated beyond digital fraud. He has now allegedly engaged in acts that constitute mail fraud and forgery.

A fraudulent certified letter was mailed in someone else's name to the CTO of Kottonmouth Kings Records.

This demonstrates a disturbing escalation and a willingness to commit tangible, real-world crimes to continue his scheme.

OUR MESSAGE TO THE COMMUNITY

We are making this public to warn everyone in our scene.

• DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH WILLIAM MOSELEY.

• DO NOT SUPPORT HIS CHANNELS. The revenue goes to him, not the artists whose work was stolen.

• ARTISTS: BE VIGILANT. Be extremely careful about who has administrative access to your digital platforms.

Our goal is to reclaim our stolen property and protect the legacies of all the artists affected. We are pursuing all available legal channels to rectify this. In the meantime, please support your favorite artists through their legitimate, official channels.

Thank you for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Joshua Shear & Kottonmouth Kings Records

The Kottonmouth Kings are back! We have finally been graced with new a new KMK banger 'Your Future.' The new iteration of the group features founder D-Loc along with Judge D, who wrote and sang on much of the KMK catalog you know and love. When you hear a voice in the background of an older KMK song and you're not sure who that is, it was Daniel 'Judge D' Rogers. His great uncle is the legendary Kenny Rogers, singing runs in the family. Also coming along on the ride is Chucky Chuck of DGAF fame, and OG KMK hypeman Tax Man the Antihero. The one and only Mike Kumagai has returned to produce this album. Lastly, it look like the Kottonmouth Kings have started a new label or renamed PTB Records to Kottonmouth Kings Records. D-Loc directed the video and the single art was made by our own Joshua Shear & StruK Media.

FMW-E Burnout.

 

Stranglemania  Alumni himself Atsushi Onita as well as the ever growing roster of FMW-E made it’s way to Osaka this weekend. Held outside at the Hanahaku Memorial Hall it was reminiscent of old style Japanese wrestling shows. Shaved Ice vendors, cold drinks, scorching sun, and some wrestling that hasn’t been seen in Osaka in quite some time.

The energy was electric outside, everyone waiting anxiously to get inside the gate and see the grudge match that has been promoted for the past month. Mr. Pogo (Shadow WX) vs Atsushi Onita the Deathmatch in Hell in Osaka!  I was on location as the only foreign media correspondent and it was a hell of a time.

 

Once inside I was greeted by my press contact, after a quick thank you and introduction I made my way to the ringside area to take some photos.

 

Winners in (Parentheses)

First match:

(Yosuke Takii) VS Tetsuya Goto

This match was the opener, it was full of hard hitting action, it had some great high flying moves but good solid technical wrestling. Yosuke hit one of the most fluid dropkicks in the middle of the ring that i’ve ever seen, and I have seen a metric ton of dropkicks delivered in my day. Yosuke got hold of Tetsuya for a high back body drop, and transitioned into a boston crab (walls of jericho) Tetsuya managed to get one leg free but it wasn’t enough and he tapped out to the half crab. Solid match I look forward to seeing these two again.

 

Second match:

(SAKI)　VS　Yuko Sakurai

The second match featured some very cute but also very tough Joshi wrestling.

Yuko Sakurai made her way to the ring, full of cheer and fun, followed by the more colorful but just as cheerful Saki.

Once in the ring both women shared a “Yorishiku Onigaishimasu” and shook hands. The match started off evenly matched as Saki and Yuko both gained offense on each other, but it soon changed when the height difference got the best of Yuko. Saki managed to get Yuko into a surfboard stretch of sorts, before picking her up and swinging her back and forth, then giving her a huge superman swing. As Yuko got up Saki grabbed her and gave her a big suplex and pinned her for the 1. 2. 3. Fun solid match with plenty of eye candy as well as physical strength.

 

 

Third match:

(Tomohiko Hashimoto, Mac Donalto) VS Naoshi Sano, Raito Shimizu

This match was a treat for those that enjoy comedy wrestling. It’s not for everyone but Mac Donalto is a special kind of gimmick… it’s Ronald McDonald… but he’s gay? Maybe Bi sexual? However he is a talented wrestler and one hell of a good time to watch… I can’t even begin to describe the match… just look at the photos

 

 

This is where the show slowed down a bit…

 

Atsushi Onita came out holding a photo of Hideki Hosaka who just a few days prior to this show passed away on August 2nd. He along side Hosaka’s widow came down to the ring and delivered a 10 bell salute and moment of silence before reminding the crowd that we will always remember him and he will always be with us in FMWE before slamming the microphone down.

 

Fourth match:

Morimatsu Drake, Sae VS (Kyuseisyu Ninja Ranmaru, Momoka Hanazono)

This match was fun because it had both comedy on one team, and brute force on the other. The first team to come out cute and goofy Kyuseisyu Ninja Ranmaru and Momoka Hanazono, followed by the more brute team of Morimatsu Drake and Sae. Morimatsu almost took my head off with a swing of her bat into the ring post.

 

The match was fun, the strangest spot was a “Time freeze moment” by Ninja Ranmaru… she froze the opponents in place before unfreezing time to have them attack each other. It was fun.

 

 

Fifth match:

(Daisuke Masaoka, Kamui) VS The Brahman Brothers　

Match 5 and it was sure to be fun.

You might remember The Brahman Brothers from my last FMW-E write up, but if you don’t remember they are these two brothers who come out and spray hand sanitizer on the crowd which… they loved it. Once the two got in the ring, I became somewhat the butt of a joke when they said to the audience (all in Japanese of course) Look at the foreigner cameraman… He smells bad… here take some sanitizer stinky.

 

Defeated… I took the sanitizer and kept taking photos like the smelly foreigner I am. (This was all in fun)

 

They were taking on the team of Daisuke Masaoka and Kamui…this was a comedy match of sorts, but still had some great moments… it started off by the brothers throwing their towels at their opponents and it was on! After some fighting on the outside they took what I can only describe as a wooden stake big enough for 25 Dracula’s and stuck it in one of the opponents…. ahem… stuck it…. right up his… anus. Not only that they once inside said mans backside… they took a stop sign and slammed it into it… driving it further into his backside.

 

Tons of fun, the match ended when a miscommunication happened between the brothers and one threw a white powder into the others face. Always fun to see them and I can’t wait to see them again!

 

Sixth match:

(Kuga, Andy WU) VS 　Magnitude Kishiwada, Yoshihiro Horaguchi

Simi Main event time. This match took place between the teams of Kuga and Andy WU vs Magnitude Kishiwada and Yoshihiro Horaguchi.

I wasn’t familiar with them, but I found out very quickly that Andy WU had a ton of fans in the crowd… lots of Andy WU flags, t shirts, towels, banners… everywhere..

 

The match started fast and got ugly and moved immediately to the outside. People were being thrown into the crowd, it was crazy trying to keep tabs on what was happening because they were all over the place. I managed to snap some great photos but as far as the match went I just tried to follow what I could on the outside.

 

Take a look at the snaps and get ready for the main event!!!

 

 

Seventh match main event:

Barbed wire rope explosion +Barbed wire baseball bat explosion+the Table
explosion +Barbed wire barricade landmines explosion with triple bomb “Death match of Hell in Osaka” No time limit 1 fall

Atsushi Onita, Tsuyoshi Okada, HASEGAWA
VS
(Mr.Pogo, Ｘ , Isami Kodaka　with Devil Magician)

This was the main event. The big grudge match. It was everything we expected and more. Making his way to the ring first was the man the myth and the legend. Atsushi Onita. His team accompanied him as well as fans carrying banners with his name and the FMW-E logo on them.

Then on an opposite side, the challengers Mr. Pogo followed by his team.

 

By this time nightfall had set in, and with no large lights outside visibility was getting low and my camera without a flash was unfortunately at a disadvantage. However I was able to still get good photos via timing my shots to other photographers flash bulbs.

 

Once inside the ring the teams were announced then as per request of the “captains” so to say… Everyone got out of the ring except Mr. Pogo and Onita. This was gonna start off as a 1 on 1 match. After some brawling when the bell rang a very close to the barbwire explosion ropes Mr. Pogo sprayed Onita in the face with the red mist. A blinded Onita lay on the ground in a prone position trying to regain his eyesight while Mr. Pogo had something more hot on his mind.

Mr. Pogo grabbed his bottle of fuel, and lit the mini torch on fire as to get ready for what was going to happen… Onita fresh off having a bottle of water squirted in his eyes picked up a chair and right as Mr. Pogo went to blow fire, Onita blocked it with the chair saving him the same fate that happened in Yokohama on July 4th. The teams now have entered the ring and it was full blown pandemonium. I was outside the ring trying to cover all the mayhem but I couldn’t keep up with 6 different men, doing 3 different fights so I focused my attention to Onita and Pogo. Onita and Pogo fell into one of the exploding ropes and like a flash of hell fire the heat and explosion went off. Showered in sparks I shook off what I could and kept taking photos. They were both sweltering and their clothes were on fire.

The next thing I see they are on the side of the ring apron, and as they battled one of the men inside the ring shouted out ONITA!! as he delivered a kick to both men, that sent them tumbling into the exploding landmine board. The boom from all those explosions rocked me and anyone near that board to their very core.

 

Laying twisted and mangled inside the barbwire and still smoking from being on fire they both laid. Crew came and doused both men with water to put out the flames. During this time the other men in the ring were duking it out, and both teams fell into the wire and got a taste of the explosions.

 

Once Onita and Pogo had regained a little of their composure they went back into the ring, and picked apart each team. Onita delivered an exploding bat shot, and a piledriver through the exploding table to members of Pogo’s team, but after the exploding table, Mr. Pogo got the best of Onita by putting the sickle into his back…

It looked excruciatingly painful, until Onita’s team jumped on Pogo. It gave Onita the time to find one more weapon the exploding chair… and what a bang it delivered when Onita hit Pogo in the head with it…

 

I thought that was the end of the match… it had to be…. 1…….2…….. Pogo kicked out.

 

After this all of Pogos team jumped on Onita and finally gave it everything they had… delivering a exploding bat shot to Onita finally did him in. Mr. Pogo made the cover… 1….2…..3.

 

Onita was defeated by Mr. Pogo. It was the shocker of the night for me. I expected Onita to pull off the win but as he laid on the ring, being doused by water Mr. Pogo walked backstage in victory. Once composure was regained Onita got in the middle of the ring and pumped up the crowd, telling everyone thank you for coming. Thank you for the support and thank you to everyone who puts it all on the line every FMWE show.

 

He gave the crowd some classic Onita “FIIIIIIRRRREEEEEE” at the end of his speech and threw the microphone down before going out into the crowd for the end of the show.

 

 

After all was said and done I was happy to be there, happy to see the fans happy and happy to once again be able to show the world the greatness that is FMW-E.

 

I wanna say thank you to Atsushi Onita, Shadow WX and all the wrestlers at the show. You guys are real life super heros, and the things you do to entertain us is amazing.

 

Thank you to Mayuko San. For giving me a chance to shine and letting me photograph FMW-E.

Comprised of the brilliant emcees $crim and Ruby da Cherry, the $uicideboy$ have become one of the most dopest groups within independent hip-hop in the last decade. They operate largely amongst the underground via their own label “G 59 RECORDS”. But they have amassed a well-deserved large cult following. Independently they have gained over 7 million monthly listeners on Spotify. While a few of their tracks have gained over 200 million streams. Their alternative blend of experimental hip-hop drenched in darkness will never die!  We here at Faygoluvers.net are proud to report that the awaited $uicideboy$ LP  “Long Term Effects Of SUFFERING” is now available to bump on full blast! Fans can support ‘Long Term Effects of SUFFERING’ at this authentic link here: https://orcd.co/longtermeffectsofsuffering

“Unfortunately, all August shows have been cancelled due to a Covid break-out in the camp. This means we are also NOT playing at The Gathering. Stay safe everyone and we’ll be seeing you all soon touring on a new, full-length album!”
