Shinya Hashimoto Memorial Legacy Cup Tournament
The Shinya Hashimoto Memorial Tournament is an annual professional wrestling memorial event produced by Steve Corino's Pro Wrestling WORLD-1 (WORLD-1) promotion, typically between July and September. It is held in honor of Japanese wrestler Shinya Hashimoto, one of the most popular stars in Japan during the 1990s, who died of a brain aneurysm in Tokyo, Japan on July 11, 2005. It is the second Hashimoto memorial show following HUSTLE's Shinya Hashimoto Memorial Six Man Tag Team Tournament in 2006. Officially sanctioned by Pro Wrestling Zero1, is the first and only Hashimoto memorial event ever held outside Japan.
Traditionally a standard 8-man single-elimination tournament, the wrestlers in the tournament are most often junior heavyweight wrestlers from independent promotions in the United States and other parts of the world. The tournament has been hosted by the New Jersey-based Pro Wrestling WORLD-1 since 2008 and has held 3 Hashimoto Memorial tournaments. In 2010, the tournament was renamed the Shinya Hashimoto Memorial Legacy Cup and held as a Puroresu-style round-robin tournament. No wrestler has ever won the tournament twice, however, both Steve Corino and Ryan Sawyer are the only wrestlers to have participated in the event more than once.
==History and format==
The tournament was conceived in early-2008 by Japanese promoter Yoshiyuki Nakamura and American wrestler Steve Corino as a joint project between their respective promotions, ZERO-ONE Fighting Athletes and 3K Wrestling Fighting Athletes (which would later combine with B4W Pro Wrestling to form Pro Wrestling WORLD-1〔) respectively, as memorial event for Japanese wrestler Shinya Hashimoto. Both Hashimoto and Nakamura, though their ZERO1 promotion, assisted many young American wrestlers, including Corino, by bringing them to compete in Japan. Proposing a U.S.-based tournament for young independent wrestlers from throughout the world to compete in his memory, the two were granted permission to hold the event by Hashimoto's widow. She later expressed interest in their son, Daichi Hashimoto, to someday participate in the tournament.
In 2010, the tournament was renamed to the Shinya Hashimoto Memorial Legacy Cup to signify the addition of the "Legacy Cup" formerly used by the defunct Premier Wrestling Federation. The tournament was also divided into a two-block system commonly used in Japanese wrestling tournaments. In this format the top two scorers in each block advance to the semi-finals, which is decided by a standard wrestling match. In the scoring for the round-robin portion, a win is worth two points, a draw is worth one, and a loss zero; all matches have a 15-minute time limit.〔
