April 25, 2020

不安定な駆け引きが
Rising around the world
戻れない今更イライラしても
ギリギリをいつだって
生きてるんだよ

Psycho KGB: "(Tonight is the second installment of Jam Sessions. Tonight we try to be the Rising Stars in this limited room only show. Only 100 fans are with us tonight, and as you can see, they're all pretty spread out!)"

the camera pans across the venue to show the fans.

MUSHI: "(That's right, tonight we have multiple debuts and some fun and interesting surprises. The mythical Harbringers, only heard through rumors and whispers months ago make their awaited debut! The Belonging take on Deco, Branden Harding and Hannah Rockford.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Fukushima Zombie takes on Carnivore in an interesting social distancing match. As well as Team SBW, Raiden Ishimori and Ai Moe of the now defunct, Suzuki Blitz Wrestling take on their former boss, Nausicaa Suzuki in a mystery match in SKY Force's best of five series to determine if they get a title shot at their vacated tag team titles!)"

MUSHI: "(A big eight man tag team match coming up too. Not to mention the main event tonight where we see young upstart, Lucas Swann take on rising star herself, Momoko Honda in a Hand Washing Mayhem match for the J-ROK New Wave Championship!)"

Match One: Tag Team Match; 30 Minute Time Limit
YOTN(Lorcan McGregor & Ken-G) Vs. Heirs of Madness (Joel Hawkfield & Kingsley Solomon)

The Youth of the Nation started the match strong against the Heirs of Madness as Lorca McGregor and Ken G split the ring in half with cunning double team tactics. Joel Hawkfield gets in a well placed tag and turns the tide with finishing Ken G off with the Fall into Madness (Powerbomb/Neckbreaker combo).

Fumio Daemura: "(Your winners of this match... Heirs of Madness!)"

Match Two: Six Man Tag Team Match; 30 Minute Time Limit
The Belonging (Hayley Dark, Ignis, & Chance Gamble) Vs. Deco, Branden Harding, & Hannah Rockford

The Belonging come in like a firestorm , smashing Deco, Branden Harding, and Hannah Rockford with high impact moves to split the three of them up. Ignis and Chance Gamble kept Branden Harding and Deco at bay while Hayley Dark kept Hannah Rockford in the ring. Hayley Dark finishes the match up with a top rope diving meteora called the Belonging Blaster.

Fumio Daemura: "(Your winners of this match... The Belonging!)"

“Cult of Personality” by Living Colour blares over the PA system as Carnivore walks down the entrance ramp. Carnivore enters the ring and gets a microphone from a ring assistant. Carnivore's theme song fades before he speaks.

Carnivore: HELLO, JAPAN!

The crowd gives a mix reaction but mostly cheers.

Carnivore: I believe Fukushima Zombie and I are going to have a great fight, that’s not just blind faith either. I have a few reasons to believe YOU PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SEE A GREAT FIGHT! Because doing my homework on my opponent, I found out that Fukushima Zombie is sort of my foil. There is a lot that Fukushima Zombie and I have in common, but there’s also differences that really contrast us.

Carnivore takes a breath.

Carnivore: Fukushima Zombie and I are neither alive or dead, we are undead. Fukushima Zombie and I are also wrestling for J-ROK, we are fighters.

The crowd chants “J-ROK!” for a few seconds causing Carnivore to stop talking.

Carnivore: But let’s get to the differences and how they really contrast as us. The first difference is how we BECAME the undead. Fukushima Zombie is undead because of a nuclear disaster, that’s when she became FUKUSHIMA ZOMBIE! I am undead because of the hands of my dad...that’s when I became The Resurrected One. The second and third difference is how we reacted to being the undead and why we fight. Fukushima Zombie must have reacted much better than I have, admittedly, because she fights for causes and for charities. Ever since I became the undead, I've been mostly emotionally numb, I felt almost no emotion at all. That was just how I reacted, it had become the way my brain worked. So why do I fight? What do I want? What DO I want?! I don't want recovery, I want ultimate fucking revenge, that’s why I trained to fight. I didn’t want to heal like Fukushima Zombie, I wanted to hurt. And you know what? Now I’m a fighter and that makes me feel alive. Fighting is what circulates my blood, brings out my emotions. I use my emotions to fuel me to fight. I admit, I’m borderline deranged. I made a mistake getting caught up in this revenge fantasy that I lost sight of who I wanted to hurt, which was originally my dad. But J-ROK just made the biggest mistake in the history of Japan because the worst thing J-ROK could have done is give me more reasons to fight and absolutely hurt people like Fukushima Zombie, a paycheck.

Match Three: Social Distancing Death Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Fukushima Zombie Vs. Carnivore

The match starts as Fukushima Zombie and Carnivore are given quarterstaves and told that they cannot be closer than six feet for this match or be disqualified. What follows is a blurred bit of action as the pair fight with the quarterstaves and keeping themselves in the social distancing range. Carnivore scores several solid hits to the side of Zombie’s head after a solid ten minutes of back and forth stick action and cannot answer a ten count to leave Carnivore as the winner. Social Distancing!

Fumio Daemura: "(Your winner of this match... Carnivore!)"

*Hail to cheif starts to play, but after twenty seconds, it screeches to a halt. Then, "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus begins to play.



As the song is starting up, Secret Service Agents emerge from the entryway and stand guard. When they give the all clear signal, the First Lady of the United States, Esmerelda Kanyon. She’s wearing a sparkly elegant dress and high heels. She waves to the crowd and blows kisses to the fans. She heads down to the ring as she continues to wave.

“So I put my hands up, they're playing my song, and the butterflies fly away,
noddin' my head like, yeah, movin' my hips like, yeah
I got my hands up, they're playin' my song, you know I'm gonna be okay
Yeah, it's a party in the USA! Yeah it's a party in the USA!”

Esmerelda Kanyon enters the ring with some help from secret service and grabs a microphone.*

Esmerelda: Hello and happy to see you all! It’s so great to be here in Kanagawa! As you know, my husband is the President of the United States!

*Cheers for President Kanyon.*

Esmerelda: "Now, while he’s running for re-election, I’m just sitting around being the first lady. After my husband pretty much solidified world peace after beating Putin in that arm wrestling match and putting Kim Jong in his place, there’s really not been much for me to do. Sure, I have my Salsa Atomica, available in stores all across the world, but that business runs itself with how popular it is. And with wrestling in our family, it only makes sense that I get into the family business!"

*Shock from the crowd.*

Esmerelda: "I mean… how hard can it be? I can slap a few prima donnas around. I grew up on the mean streets of Puerto Rico, I can handle myself. And I want to do for J-Rok what my husband did for AXW and really put this place on the map! With my name value, this place will be the new place to be in the XHF Network! Just you wait and see! J-Rok is about to feel… the… BANG!"

*Esmerelda winks to the camera and “Party in the USA” starts up again as she makes her exit.*

Match Four: SKY Force Best of Five Series, Match One, Mystery Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Team SBW (Raiden Ishimori & Ai Moe) Vs. SKY Force (Nausicaa Suzuki & Rin Kubo)

Psycho KGB: “(This is a unique matchup if i’d ever seen one.)”

MUSHI: “(You can say that again, Both Raiden Ishimori and Ai Moe were apart of Suzuki’s short lived Suzuki Blitz Wrestling a few years ago. Now they’re here to face off against their former boss in her new groups best of 5 series!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is set to be a Bear Cage Match! In this match there will be bears surrounding the ring. To win you must climb over the bears and make out to the otherside. Don’t worry PETA the bears are being taken care of properly. We even fed ‘em scraps from catering! Anyways… get the bears around the ring.)”

The bell rings and the match begins. Nausicaa has a terrified look on her face as Ai and Raiden show a devilish grin. Their lips mouth payback as for the past wacky and crazy gimmicked matches they had fought in in SBW. They charge their former boss right as the bell rings and would start off hot with a brutal brawl in the middle of the ring. Everyone would do their best to stay in the middle of this messy match, but Rin is the first to get scratched.

Ai and Raiden would focus on Nausicaa and hit some double team moves on her. She’d fight back and throw Moe into the wall of furry fury. The bears attack and let out a big gash on her back. Suzuki and Raiden would trade moves throughout the match. Ishimori blocking Suzuki’s big boot and hitting her with Yakuza Killer Front Flip DDT. After some more moves being traded back and forth and more brawling, Suzuki would call for Shizuku to throw her “it”.

It turned out to be a gun of some kind. This terrified the 100 or so people in the venue, causing everyone to duck and get behind some cover. Nausicaa yells out it’s ok. It’s a dart gun! Indeed it is as soon after we see her shoot Raiden with the gun. He falls over and right in his buttocks is a large blow dart.

Psycho KGB: “(AHHH! Suzuki’s got a gun! A dart gun, but still a gun!)”

MUSHI: “(Weird how they had a dart gun ready for this show despite not knowing the match tonight. That says allot about SKY Force right there.)”

Psycho KGB: “(In these trying times, you can never be too prepared MUSHI. Now shoot the other one Suzuki! Shoot the bears! Run like hell and never look back!)”

Suzuki tries to shoot Ai now, but Ai grabs Rin and shoves her in the way. Rin got shot! She plops down, but is not dead as a dart is in her shoulder. Ai grabs the gun and the two struggle for it. They struggle a bit more before it goes off. They both stop to see where the dart went. Soon after we hear MUSHI screaming, Psycho KGB right next to her got shot with the dart right in the cheek!

Ai kicks Nausicaa, and gets the gun. She goes to shoot her but misses. She hits a bear instead. It goes down and they both look at one another. It seems they have the same idea! They both run and try to get over the bear that got shot. Shizuku Throws Charles at Ai for an assisted and legal blinding headbut! Ai goes down as Nausicaa gets over the bear and onto the other side!

Fumio Daemura: “(The winners of this match, SKY Force! They now have 1 win out of 5.)”

Match Five: Multi Man Tag Team Clusterfuck Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Amber Diamond, Ninja Ned, & PURE(Killa Kai & Nate Pierce) Vs. Alexia Borne, Jax Biggs, & The Pack(Zolothach & Miguel Diaz)

Psycho KGB: “(We have many debuts here tonight folks, many returns as well in this hefty eight man tag team match!)”

The match begins with Amber Diamond and Alexia Borne. Both would start it off relatively slow, but they’d get in some impressive moves soon enough. After some trading of suplexes and basic holds, we’d see Alexia catch Diamond with a Falling Star Kinshasa. It’d get a one and soon enough we’d see Amber hit Diva Cutter diamond cutter of her own.

Shortly after both would tag out to Zolothach and Ninja Ned. Ned would use his tremendous Ninja skills against the Psycho Killer of J-ROK herself. He’d use the multi shadow clone jutsu, yes that one from naruto where a billion clones appear and tries to gang Zolothach. It doesn’t work as she punches her way through and hits him with a shoulder rana she calls the Attack of The Mind.

Soon they’d tag out too to Miguel Diaz and Nate Pierce. Two formidable wrestlers in their own right, they go right at it and show why their two tough S.O.Bs. Pounding one another with heavy strikes and impactful moves right after the other. Soon enough we’d see a puncture wound spear from the Whaler himself, pinning Diaz for a 2. Diaz would make quick work and lock in his signature You Done Fo lebell lock submission. Killa Kai would cut in and break it up after a short while.

Speaking of Kai, he’d tag in shortly after alongside the big man himself, Jax Biggs! Jax would lay into Kai with huge boots and monsterous power. Killa wouldn’t let up and even after getting hit with the Biggs Claw iron claw move, he’d get back up and continue to fight. That’s just how Kai rolls though. Towards the end we’d see him mount a comeback like no other, hitting a Krash Kick shotgun dropkick and get it right into a Murder Spree DDT on the comeback for the win.

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winners of this match, Amber Diamond, Ninja Ned, Nate Pierce and Killa Kai!)”

Fade in.

You can view a dark room. Cue J-Rok’s resident ball of rage, STRiFE. The Visual Kei Championship picks up what little light there is in the room.

STRiFE: Sol Fa was a bittersweet affair. Mayumi and Rio? They put their bodies and careers on the line when they stepped into that 24時 Death Match to challenge for the Power Ballad Championships. Despite their efforts, they came up short.

A pause.

STRiFE: The Happy Few are competitors through and through. They don’t wrestle for fame and fortune. They wrestle because they truly love this sport. Yeah, they lost that evening. I’m sure that didn’t sit well with them. However, they took Dodo-A-Gogo to the limit, in a match that was completely outside of their element. They showed how much heart they had. And they also showed that they have the ability to be champions in this promotion. Nobody can deny that.

A head nod.

STRiFE: That loss didn’t shake our group. If anything, it’s going to come back to haunt a lot of people in this promotion. And more importantly, Kadō reigned supreme at the end of the evening.

A smirk appears as she glances at the championship.

STRiFE: Naoki Ojima? The man is one hell of a wrestler. No one can take that away from him. He showed me why he was the SKS Heavyweight Champion―

A snap of the fingers.

STRiFE: And yet, he only caught a glimpse of the woman who shattered Alexis Grace’s incredible Idols of Sakura Championship reign. He only saw a light bit of the woman who ended Fukushima’s three hundred and ninety-three day stint as the Goddess of Sakura Champion.

Another pause.

STRiFE: But now? He and the rest of J-Rok will get more than a glimpse. Whoever decides to oppose me? Whoever decides to oppose Kadō? They’re going to bear the full brunt of stepping into the ring with me.

A head nod. It doesn’t take long before everything fades to black.

Main Event: J-ROK New Wave Championship Match; Hand Washing Mayhem Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Lucas Swann Vs. Momoko Honda(C.)

Psycho KGB: “(Now it’s the time you folks have been waiting for, the Main Event!)”

MUSHI: “(Another unusual match for sure, tonight Momoko tries to keep the title she’s held for almost 5 months now. But Lucas Swann is going to try his best to end her streak and get the gold for himself!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is a Hand Washing Mayhem Match. In this match you must thoroughly wash your hands for 20 seconds before your allowed to pin or attempt a submission on your opponent. After each failed pin attempt you must wash your hands again before trying again. If you fail to wash your hands for the 20 seconds before going for a pin you will be disqualified!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(Now introducing first, in the red corner, he is the challenger, standing in at 6’0 and weighing in at 223 pounds from Nagasaki, Japan… He is “Superstar” Lucas Swann!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(And his opponent in the blue corner, standing in at 5’1 and weighing in at 114 pounds, from Kyoto, Japan… She is the REIGNING DEFENDING J-ROK New Wave Champion… Momoko Honda!)”

Like the match implies, they start off washing their hands for the full 20 seconds. Nothing to worry about now as the match just started, but we’ll see what happens later on. After washing their hands both competitors lock up. The bigger Swann lifts up Honda and throws her across the ring. She gets up into the corner and sees a large man running towards her. A bicycle kick in the corner is dodged by Momoko, who runs to the opposite side. She charges him shortly after and hits Swann with a shoutei. He falls back into the corner.

He comes out with a lariat laying out his opponent. He grabs his jaw, getting some feeling back into it after that stiff strike from earlier. He grabs her and hits her with a powerslam before running the ropes and going for an elbow drop. Momoko rolls out of the way and hits him with a dropkick. He falls back into the ropes, coming off them like a freight train. Another missed move, he goes on and runs to the other side. This time he clocks Honda with a deadly lariat, making her do a full flip and landing on her shoulders/neck area.

Psycho KGB: “(What A hellacious lariat!)”

Swann goes for a pin attempt and gets a one count. With the rules of the match, he goes straight to the portable sinks ringside and washes his hands. By the time he’s finished, Honda is back up by the time Swann is done washing his hands. She leaps off the ropes and onto the outside, hitting him with a hurricanrana. She slides back into the ring and rushes him again going for a suicide dive. Lucas catches her and lifts her up. He drops her stomache first into the railing, causing her to lose her breath in the process.

Getting her back in the ring he gives her an extra powerslam before hitting a shooting star press. He goes for the pin and gets a two this time. He washes his hands again, this time facing the ring, to see any surprise attacks. Lucas is hit as soon as he gets in the ring with a dropkick knocking him to a knee. Honda hits him with a Tsunami Strike shining wizard before going for apin of her own. It gets a one count before she washes her hands.

She’s met with a moonsault from Lucas from the top rope to the outside. They both crash and burn, soon brawling after a short while getting up. They eventually get back to the ring. Swann goes for another pin attempt after yet another brutal shooting star press. It’s kicked out of again, and the frustration can be seen on his face. He hurries up to wash his hands, but it backfires on him. He washed his hands for 19 seconds and not the full 20, thus being DQed from the match and losing. Livid he shoves the refs and flips the sinks over before exiting.

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of this match and STILL J-ROK New Wave Champion… Momoko Honda!)”

MUSHI: "(That's all the time we have for now folks. Next time you'll see J-ROK will be a new weekly set of shows starting this coming tuesday! Fret not, we'll still have our usual monthly shows, we'll be kicking off with more house show events starting next month!)"

Psycho KGB: "(We'll also have info for you on our upcoming pay per view as well as the rumored tournament planned for June. We'll have aftermath of tomorrows XHF Rumble and so much more! till then, i'm Psycho KGB, over here next to me is MUSHI and this was J-ROK! bye bye!)"
