* Just how much Taichi Ishikari was beaten and humiliated through his entire career in the promotion. Especially his mock birthday party by the Monster Army in HUSTLE House Vol.6, where he was crushed by Wrestling/GiantSilva and being splashed with hot candle wax by Shimada.

* The late revelation of Shinya Hashimoto's death, especially his best friend Ogawa's speech. At its end, with everybody in the arena doing the HUSTLE Pose, people was crying on the rows.
-->"Excuse me. It has been sudden, too sudden for me, and I’m afraid I have no suitable words, but someone has to say it.
-->Just as I was the father of the brainchild that is HUSTLE, Hashimoto was its mother. I remember that we both wanted to spread the HUSTLE Pose across the world. Hashimoto wanted to rebuild professional wrestling more than anyone in this project, and he was training with the desire to return before he passed away.
-->However, we have no right to cry now. As someone as hearty as him would have liked, I want us to send him our salute in a HUSTLE way. There's another HUSTLE Pose he created back when he lived, the HUSTLE Tornado, and I would like to do it to express our condolences. He always said, 'even if everybody is, don’t you be shy!'. Everybody, please, don’t be shy.
-->''[All the fans get up.]''
-->HUSTLE King, Shinya Hashimoto, keep hustling in heaven!"
-->''[Everybody does the HUSTLE Tornado Pose while Hashimoto’s theme goes on.]''

-->"Four days have passed since Hashimoto died. To be honest, I still cannot believe it. When I debuted as a professional wrestler nine years ago, we were rivals, but we later became companions. After that, Hashimoto quit New Japan and launched ZERO-ONE, and then we launched HUSTLE together.
-->Hashimoto broke his shoulder and was forced to withdraw for a long time, but nobody was training harder than him to be able to return to the ring. And he was about to return, just before he died."
