PSW:Administrators

Different users have access to different functions of the site. While anyone can do most things on the site, including reading and editing, **administrators** (also called *sysops*) can access to a few additional functions:

* Deleting and undeleting pages, page histories, and uploaded files. They can also view a user's contributions to pages that have since been deleted.
* Locking (protecting) a page so it cannot be edited or renamed by users without admin rights.
* Blocking IP addresses or user names from editing; and very quick "rollback" of undesirable edits.
* Editing the interface by changing system messages and skins.

## Bureaucrats, Janitors, Wikia Staff

A **bureaucrat** can make other users into bureaucrats or administrators on this wiki.

Some Wikia staff members have full access to all Wikia. They will be shown in Special:Listusers/staff on any wiki. Wikia janitors have limited administrator access to all Wikia for cleanup purposes. These users will be shown on Special:Listusers/janitor on any Wikia. Please see the Central Wikia contact page for details on how to contact Wikia staff.

## So who are this wiki's administrators?

For an automated list of users with administrator access, see Special:Listusers/sysop.

 PuroLove1000 | July 2016 - Present

## How do I use administrator powers?

See the administrators' how-to guide for a guide on using admin functions.

## Becoming an administrator

For you to become an administrator, someone with bureaucrat access must make you one. If there are no active bureaucrats and you wish to become an administrator, please contact the community staff on the Central Wikia.

On larger Wikia, there will usually be a community page for requests, with a page name such as "Requests for adminship". On this Wikia you may contact Team69Roll personally, or request access on the PSW:Administrators' noticeboard. However, since there is already a high number of active administrators on this Wikia you may be denied even if you are qualified.

## What can administrators not do?

Administrators should not use their administrator powers to settle editing disputes; for example, to lock a page on a version he or she prefers in an editing dispute that isn't vandalism. Administrator powers should be use to help keep the wiki clear of vandalism, spam, and users who make malicious edits, but not for simple disagreements between users acting in good faith. Ideally an admin shouldn't be considered "in charge". The ideal admin is just someone who is trusted to have a few extra buttons and to use them for the benefit of the Wikia community.

## Request administrators' help

To request meditiation, protection, deletions or need assistance, report to the Administrators' noticeboard.

T2P Strongest Merit Assessment League

**The T2P Strongest Merit Assessment League**, also known as the T2P Lucha Libre Classica League, was a singles league tournament held in Toryumon Mexico and Toryumon 2000 Project to determine the strongest wrestler within the 2nd Class of Ultimo Dragon Gym graduates. The tournament was held over the course of four days from February 17, 2002 through March 3, 2002. The winner of the tournament would not only be regarded as the strongest of the T2P class, but also be awarded the NWA International Light Heavyweight Championship.

## Overview

Following the main event of the Descembarcamiento 2 show on January 23, 2002, Milano Collection AT challenged all of the members of the T2P roster to compete in a league tournament so that the strongest within the group would be recognized, similar to what Toryumon Japan was doing with the El Numero Uno league tournament. Toryumon President Ultimo Dragon took the challenge a step further by adding that the winner would be crowned the first NWA International Light Heavyweight Champion.

The tournament began on February 17, 2002 in Toryumon Mexico before resuming in Japan through T2P ten days later. At the end of the preliminary rounds, Block A and D each had a decisive winner in Milano and Masato Yoshino respectively. However, Block B and C had ties going into the final day on March 3. Block B had a tie between Shuji Kondo and Toru Owashi while all three wrestlers in Block C were tied. Thus, decision matches were held prior to the semi-finals, resulting in three rounds of the tournament being showcased in one night.

During the entrances for the finals, Milano was attacked by Don Fujii, who proceeded to kidnap his invisible dog Mikeru. At the end of the tournament, Fujii returned briefly to challenge Milano and all of T2P to "Come to Japan!" To combat the inevitable threat of Crazy MAX, Milano would form the Italian Connection with Yoshino, Stevie "brother" Tsujimoto, Takayuki Yagi, and Kondo, the latter four changing their names to fit their new-found Italian heritage. This would be the catalyst for the Toryumon Japan vs. T2P rivalry that would run through the remainder of the year.

## Results

 **Second Doi** | X
 **Raimu Mishima** | X

 **Toru Owashi** | ±
 **Noriaki Kawabata** | X

 **Stevie "brother" Tsujimoto** | X
 **Takayuki Yagi** | O

**Block B Decision Match:** Shuji Kondo defeated Toru Owashi (March 3 - 7:57)
Stalker Ichikawa Bosou 10 Match Series

**The Stalker Ichikawa Bosou 10 Match Series** is a ten-match trial series Stalker Ichikawa undertook in Toryumon Japan from August 2000 through September 2002.

## Overview

The point of the series was to essentially pit Ichikawa, widely regarded as the weakest wrestler in the world, against some of the most famous opponents from the business. Nothing was at stake, except for the fans to watch in delight as Ichikawa was literally used as a rag-doll by some of their favorite wrestlers. From time to time in the series, Ichikawa would perform in cosplay fashion, attempting to take on the persona of various famous wrestlers. Nevertheless, the end result was generally the same.

Tadao Yasuda

**Tadao Yasuda** (born 9 October 1963) is a retired sumo and professional wrestler from Ōta, Tokyo, Japan. He competed in sumo from 1979 to 1992, under the *shikona* of **Takanofuji**, achieving the rank of *komusubi*, and afterwards turned to professional wrestling, in which he competed from 1994 to 2011.

## Professional Wrestling Carrer

Reverting to his real name, he joined the New Japan Pro Wrestling promotion, making his debut in February 1994. He also gained some fame in the mixed martial arts world. After defeating Masaaki Satake in a PRIDE event in March 2001, he choked out K-1 kickboxer Jerome Le Banner at an Inoki Bom-Ba-Ye event in December 2001, which was the biggest win of his MMA career. In August 2002 he and Kantaro Hoshino formed a breakaway faction from New Japan called the Makai Club. In late 2004 he started working with the ZERO-ONE and Hustle promotions.

Yasuda has earned the nickname of "Borrowing Money King" due to claims that he borrows money from various sources (including the yakuza) to try to pay off his gambling debts.

In October 2007 he reportedly attempted to commit suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning. A friend however, interrupted the alleged attempt. He was hospitalized, with fears of possible brain damage. This proved not to be the case and he has made a return to wrestling.
On January 11, 2011, Yasuda announced his retirement from professional wrestling. He wrestled his final match on February 4, 2011, in which he was defeated by Genichiro Tenryu.
