J-ROK Jam Session Ep.7 "Like I'm Not Real"

[Kira Izumi]

Damn it... Damn it...
I don' t see a way out...
Damn it... Damn it...
My inexperience... This is result of that

We pan across Nices Arena as fans are getting to their seats and lights flash around. We settle on the commentary crew sitting ringside with plexiglass protectors between them.

Psycho KGB: "(Welcome everyone to Saturday Jam Session Episode seven "Like I'm Not Real"! We come off of a very spooky show from Halloween night. With lots of surprises and guests. Tonight we come off of a very successful and shocking Sakura Tag League from just last week. But before we get to the Sakura Tag League finals, we have many more matches in store for you folks!)"

MUSHI: "(That's right we have another matchup between Eric Havoc and Off The Wagon, i'm sure we'll be seeing their big blow off match sooner than later. We also have another chapter added in the long rivalry between PURE and Kado. With Kenjiro Kurokawa taking on Olympia!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Not to mention Killa Kai taking on New Wave Champion Brendan Harding for the title later on too. But folks that's not all we have on this show, we also have Yuki Sakaraba taking on Steve Awesome in a ladder match for the Best in Shoe contract! This rivalry has been going longer than anyone expected...)"

MUSHI: "(Even Yuki herself! That Awesome sure can hold a grudge.)"

Psycho KGB: "(I would too if i lost to a baby.)"

MUSHI: "(After that folks, we have the Sakura Tag League Finals! With the Powerbuff Girlz facing New Age Killers! Both teams went through some opponents. With the Powerbuff Girlz going through The Labor Union, Rage & Fury, The J-ROK Super Duos Champions SKY Force, and Sons of Loki to get here tonight.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Meanwhile, New Age Killers went through Interstella 5555, Sweet Melody, Masters of The Mat, & El Combatiente and Dylan Black to reach the finals. Neither team had an road to the finals, but the this last match will be the toughest yet! see who wins in our main event, tonight!)"

Match One: Standard J-ROK Rules; 30 Minute Time Limit
Kirs Quake W/Randy Angel Vs. Eric Havoc

Psycho KGB: "(These men have been inseparable since Eric's debut. Tonight's another chapter in this rivalry, with Kris Quake taking on Havoc tonight.)"

MUSHI: "(Havoc beat Quake's partner, Randy Angel, for the Straight Edge title some months ago. Ever since they've went back and forth with victories.)"

this was a battle of the pedigrees. both men would go for it early on, but get out of it somehow. they'd trade strikes with one another early on. Quake would use his speed to pick off the arms of Havoc and Havoc would use his brute strength and technical prowess to take out the legs of Kris. Havoc would start picking up momentum after catching him after a botched crossbody spot. he'd lift him up into a Tribulation crucifix powerbomb.

that wouldn't finish the match though, both would keep going back and forth against one another. Throughout going for their patent pedigrees, but each time the other would slip out and catch them with something else. Havoc would charge him but eat a Yakuza kick he calls the Drought. Quake would manage to hit Park Place for the win after many tries throughout the night.

Fumio Daemura: "(Your winner of this match... Kris "Triple" Quake!"

Off The Wagon celebrates for a moment before a man in a suit comes out to the stage.

Man: "(Allow me to introduce myself, i am Akira Nakamura and i am the head of Super Sake Co.. We're impressed with the likes of you men. So we got with the higher ups in J-ROK and they agreed to this too...)"

Nakamura: "(Next month at Raison D'etre Off The Wagon Vs. Eric Havoc and a partner fighting in a ladder match for a contract for their very own Super Sake Co. deal!)"

MUSHI: "(Whoa! what a big opportunity for these men!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Super Sake is some of the best in the business too, so this is a huge deal folks! it's made of the purist ingredients and the best quality around. Buy some today with the promo code: Psycho Sake for half off!)"

MUSHI: "(Did you really just do an ad for them now?)"

Psycho KGB: "(Maybe...)"

MUSHI: "(Well enough wasting time, onto the next match folks!)"

Match Two: Standard J-ROK Rules; 30 Minute Time Limit
Olympia Vs. Kenjiro Kurokawa

Psycho KGB: "(Another rivalry that's been going for a while now. PURE Vs. Kado. These two groups have been fighting for months and soon, something's got to give!)"

MUSHI: "(Tonight it's the olymiion taking on the gaijin hating Kenjiro.)"

This match would start off vicious and brutal. In both the strikes and the submissions. Both working one another and trying to weaken each other down for their respective finishers. Olympia would lock in an Olympic Lock single leg boston crab into an ankle lock at one moment nearly getting him to tap. He'd get to his back and kick her face in, getting free and hitting a tekken tachikaze discus punch!

Towards the end of the match everyone from both stables would come out to cheer on one anothers stablemates, Only for them on the outside to eventually get too heated. they'd all start throwing hands and would brawl on the outside. Olympia and Kenjiro would get in the middle of it and start fighting too! The referee would have to call off the match soon afterwards.

Fumio Daemura: "(This match has been called off and is a no-contest.)"

Kado would fight off PURE after some more brawling. Dexter would lead his stable to the top of the ramp where he'd demand a mic.

Dexter Point: "Kado! Hey, Kado! How about we settle this once and for all?!"

Psycho KGB: "(What's this about?)"

Dexter Point: "(STRiFE! You and your boys against mine. Two stables, Three Rings, Surrounded by Barbedwire, explosives and a cell! Pure and Kado... In a World War Death Match! I'll send the details to the twitter guy later.)"

STRiFE and the rest of Kado shake their heads in agreement as the fans cheer.

Psycho KGB: "(A World War Death Match?! I guess we'll find out more about it on twitter, find out then and there folks!)"

Match Three: J-ROK New Wave Championship Match; Standard J-ROK Rules; 60 Minute Time Limit
Killa Kai Vs. Brendan Harding(c.)

Psycho KGB: "(Next up, we have Killa Kai taking on Brendan Harding for the New Wave Championship.)"

MUSHI: "(Both men are looking to walk into Raison D'etre as champ, but only one can tonight!)"

Fumio Daemura: "(This match is set for one fall at a sixty minute time limit and is for the J-ROK New Wave Championship! Introducing first, representing PURE, he is the challenger, standing in at 5'11 and weighing in at 182 pounds, from Isla de Mona, Puerto Rico... he is Killa Kai!)"

The fans boo Kai as he steps up when his name is called.

Fumio Daemura: "(And his opponent, standing 6'2 and weighing in at 222 pounds... From Camden, London, England, he is the REIGNING DEFENDING J-ROK New Wave Champion... He is... "Dr.Zen" Brendan Harding!)"

Harding is cheered as he steps up and raises his title above his head. The bell rings and the match soon begins.

Neither man taking time to feel one another out to start this one off, they'd start by trading holds and strikes. There'd be multiple pin attempts and reversals as well. Each time the other getting them in another pin or bridging out to get locked into another pin. Kai would Harding over the top to the apron and rush him with a Krash Kick shotgun dropkick, sending Brendan into the first row.

Kai would climb to the top and dive for a crossbody, only for Harding to scramble out of the way at the last minute and cause Kai to eat some chairs and concrete. Both men would brawl outside before Killa would throw Harding back into the ring. Another big move from Kai another crash and burn, this was the story of the match throughout, with Harding catching him and hitting a Tech Armor Detonation for a two count. Kai would hit him with another Krash Kick, but would fail with the Murder Spree after getting caught up and lifted into a Zen Driver, a reverse suplex into a tombstone piledriver, for the win.

Fumio Daemura: "(The winner of this match and STILL the J-ROK New Wave Champion... Brendan Harding!)"

The J-ROK Owner appears on screen.

J-ROK Owner: "(Good evening everyone. I'm here tonight to thank you all for another successful Sakura Tag League Tournament, and to announce we're having yet another tournament!)"

The fans ooo and aah.

J-ROK Owner: "(Next Month we will hold a trios tournament to crown out first ever trios champions! That's right folks, we're getting a brand new title and it's debuting at Raison D'etre! Oh and speaking of Raison D'etre, i will have yet another huge announcement on that show on December 26th! So be sure to check it out!)"

the screen goes back to the regularly scheduled program.

Match Four: Ladder Match for Best In Shoe Sponsorship Contract; 60 Minute Time Limit
Yuki Sakaraba Vs. Steve Awesome

MUSHI: "(Ladies and gentlemen, this next match is happening all because of a shoe commercial that happened twenty years ago.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Only within the XHF Network amiright?)"

MUSHI: "(As you can see now, hanging above the ring is the Best in Shoe! Shoe Co. Golden Shoe. Steve Awesome or Yuki Sakaraba will have to climb a fifteen foot ladder to retrieve it and the winner will become the next Best in Shoe! Shoe Co. spokesperson.)"

Psycho KGB: "(But this is more than just who will be the spokesperson. This is a grudge match! This is about righting a wrong that happened to Steve Awesome twenty years ago when he was just ten years old.)"

MUSHI: "(oh come on. We all know Yuki was still in diapers when all this happened. She doesn’t even remember the experience.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Drunk drivers don’t remember there crimes either but we still prosecute. Why shouldn’t a baby be held responsible for her heinous crimes against a good man?)"

MUSHI: "(You are ridiculous, you know that?)"


{All the lights in the arena die out and the fans in attendance start chanting
his name.}

"AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME! AWE-SOME!"

{Dramatic Pause.}

"REGRETS I'VE HAD MINE!"

{The lights in the arena explode to life as they flash green and black to the beat as Steve Awesome comes running out with intensity to the hyped up chorus of "Full of Regrets" by Danko Jones.}

Lonely nights/ and a whole lot of wasted time!
If you see her wont you tell her for me/
It's better this way to avoid all the misery

{The chorus plays again as Steve walks down to the ring. The guitar starts soloing and Steve hops into the ring and he provocatively slips off his jacket and then spins and drops into a kneel and he flexes his arms. He gets a slow motion effect as pyro sprays behind him.}

MUSHI: "(The self proclaimed Face of the Franchise. Love him or hate him, and I certainly don’t like him, Steve Awesome is Hall of Fame level talent.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Steve is a multi-time world champion all over the world. He has even held the X*Crown Championship at one point in his career.)"

MUSHI: "(One can’t argue his accolades and his career. I just don’t like him. And I hope Yuki shows him the error of his ways here tonight and she becomes the Best in Shoe spokesperson.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Its Shoeperstar! And it’s going to Steve Awesome! He deserves it after he was robbed all those years ago.)"

Yuki comes out to the ring.

MUSHI: "(Yuki Sakaraba has been on a crazy journey lately. Almost dying at the hands of Brad Swan. She won the world championship but now she’s adopted a much darker personality lately. I’m not sure Michael Shumacker realizes that yet.)"

Psycho KGB: "(I don’t care about her new personality, she’s going to have to deal with the Face of the Franchise tonight!)"

MUSHI: "(Well, she hardly remembers the reason for this fight, but The Dark Pulsar is about to go to war!)"

The referee calls for the competitors to step to the middle. Yuki steps forward but Steve just stays leaning against the ropes. He’s glaring her down with a smirk on his face. It’s hard to gage how seriously, or unseriously, Steve is taking things. The ref shrugs and calls for the bell to start this match.

MUSHI: "(...and this match is underway. You know, these two haven’t wrestled each other since Yuki knocked Steve out of the Overheated tournament. Looks like Steve wants to lock up with Yuki to start this ladder match up.)"

Psycho KGB: "(He’s got his arms out, he’s signaling her in. Steve is going to show Yuki that he can out wrestle her first! What a competitor!)"

Steve has his arms out and steps forward looking for a collar and elbow tie up. Yuki starts to follow suit but Steve stops short just before and with a big smirk he does a crotch chop and tells Yuki to “SUCK IT!!” as the crowd boos. Yuki clenches her fists and comes running after Steve but he buried a hard back heel kick straight to Yuki’s diaphragm! Yuki doubles over gasping for air. Steve quickly locks in a side headlock and starts wrenching the hold. Yuki tries to power lift Steve up for a back suplex but Steve hooks her leg blocking it. Steve grinds the hold a bit more and then smiles and points up at Michael Shumacker, who is watching up in a sky box. Yuki takes this moment to try to run toward the rope and break free that way but Steve quickly drops his body weight to the mat and yanks Yuki down with him.

MUSHI: "(Steve Awesome takes early control with a side headlock.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Steve has ten years more experience in life then Yuki does and he is showcasing it now.)"

Steve grinds Yuki’s face into the mat and then adds insult to injury by sticking his body straight up into a handstand!

Psycho KGB: "(Oh! Wow! Everyone look at this awesome display of balance and core strength here! Just wow.)"

MUSHI: "(Yes everyone….look at Steve.)"

Steve drops back down to the mat, and then with his free arm, he starts doing one armed push ups. “Oh Yeah Baby!” He shouts as the crowd boos his arrogance. “I can do this allllllllll night!” Steve does a few more pushups before Yuki finally slips out of the side headlock. She is quickly back up to her feet and she is mad to say the least and the crowd is starting to fire up!

MUSHI: "(The crowd here is firmly behind Yuki. She hasn’t exactly been her normal self lately but they are with her against Steve.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Oh what do these people know? They have a bonafide celebrity in their ring and they want to boo him. I just don’t get it.)"

Steve suddenly realizes he is at a disadvantage and tries to talk Yuki down as he stands up but she doesn’t listen and just lets out a huge chop that echoes across his chest. Steve tenses up and screeches in pain from the sting strike. Yuki follows up with a huge strike to the face! The crowd cheer. Yuki delivers another stiff forearm to the Steve’s jaw that staggers the former XCrown champion and the crowd cheer again! Yuki looks to take advantage but the crafty veteran reaches out and grabs a handful of Yuki’s hair and yanks her back down to the mat hard onto the back of her head and neck! The crowd boos. The referee yells at Steve to watch the hair. “There are no rules in a ladder match, ya maroon!” Steve yells as he shoves the ref aside and holds his jaw in pain.

MUSHI: "(Another cheap maneuver from your celebrity.)"

Psycho KGB: "(You don’t have to like it, but look who is back in control of this match.)"

Steve stomps toward Yuki who bounces up out of nowhere with a trouble in paradise spin kick that cracks Steve right in the side of the head and Steve goes down to the mat to the delight of the crowd!

MUSHI: "(Oh look. Yuki is back in control.)"

MUSHI: "(Steve is dazed but he starts getting to his feet. Yuki is already up though, and follows up with a couple lefts and rights. A stiff forearm and a back elbow. She starts hooking Steve up for maybe a piledriver oh!)"

Psycho KGB: "(but Steve pulls himself out and shoves her back! Steve tries to follow up with a clothesline but Yuki ducks it and goes to the back. She looks for a German suplex but Steve hits a few elbows and escapes Yuki’s grip like the true hall of famer he is.)"

MUSHI: "(Irish whip attempt from Steve now, but Yuki reverses it and sends Steve running toward the corner! Yuki comes running close behind but what...OHHH STEVE AWESOME WITH A SURPRISE MOONSAULT OFF THE TOP ROPE!!!)"

The replay box pops up and it shows Yuki reverse the Irish whip and her running after Steve. Steve steps up the three turnbuckles and flings himself backward with a big moonsault that crashes in Yuki and smashes her into the mat!

Psycho KGB: "(That was called the Awesome-Sault! And it’s just as picture perfect as it was fifteen years ago.)"

MUSHI: "(It was impressive, I’ll give him that. But when he follows it up with antics like that, it just makes my skin crawl!)"

As Yuki shakes the cobwebs out from the big crash Steve decides to lay up on the top rope completely proud of himself for the big move he just did.A big cloud of boos float down to ringside.

MUSHI: "(Oh yeah. Gloat about yourself on the top rope. That’s really great.)"

Psycho KGB: "(What’s wrong with a man gloating? The move he did was impressive, you just said that!)"

MUSHI: "(Yes, but it’s a ladder match! He should be getting a damn ladder!)"

Yuki gets up to her feet and she looks over to find Steve just laying on the top rope. She grits her teeth in anger and walks over toward him. Steve was too busy looking at the crowd and talking trash to notice. Yuki taps him on the shoulder, Steve turns to look and then Yuki dumps him over the ropes and down to the floor and he lands ramp side with a thud!!

Psycho KGB: "(How dare you treat the Face of the Franchise like that!)"

MUSHI: "(He isn’t the face of the franchise! But he did get “Dumped on his Dumbass!)”

Psycho KGB: "(Mushi, you can't say that!)"

Steve looks up at Yuki his jaw dropped in indignant shock. Yuki rolls out of the ring to come after Steve and she grabs him by the head and she tries to bash his face off the ring steps but Steve gets a foot in the way to block. He elbows her in the gut and grabs her head and smashes it off the steps himself. Steve then grabs Yuki’s neck and the back of her tights spins around and sends her shoulder first into the steel steps. Yuki slumps over in pain which gives Steve time to look under the ring and pull out a wooden table! He sets it up parallel to the ring right in front of the ramp. He goes back and grabs Yuki and sets her up for a powerbomb right above the table!

Yuki comes to life and she wiggles free and slips out behind Steve. Yuki quickly turns around and lands a big snap German to the outside floor! Steve’s head smacks with a thud and both wrestlers lay out.

MUSHI: "(Yuki, perhaps out of instinct, pulled that German suplex out and now both competitors are down on the floor!)"

Psycho KGB: "(She definitely bought herself some time with that move.)"

MUSHI: "(It’s anyone’s ballgame in this ladder match. Oh by the way….did you just say “yeet”?)"

Psycho KGB: "(What? I’m trying to stay hip.)"

Yuki notices Steve Awesome rising up to his knees so she greets him with a knee to the chest. Then she follows up with a couple striking combos and Steve goes back to the floor. Yuki looks under the apron and pulls out another table. She sets it up so that it’s side by side with the first table. She grabs Steve and drags him over to the two tables, nails him with a big roundhouse kick that lays him onto both tables. Yuki turns and looks up at the top turnbuckle and Steve Awesome laying on the tables.

MUSHI: "(Yuki Sakaraba adding another table to the mix and now shes got her mind on the top rope. I think she wants to go airborne.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Oh no! Now what is she looking for? Hasn’t she got enough weapons out here?)"

MUSHI: "(Yuki looking for more hardware under the ring now, and she finds a…...ladder and she slides into the ring with her. That’s smart, she’s brings the ladder in now, so after she does her damage to Steve she can go for the win!)"

Yuki slides into the ring and props the ladder in the corner. She walks over to the other turnbuckle and starts climbing up. The crowd light up as she gets to the top and gets herself balanced. Only for Steve to roll off the tables and out of harms way. Yuki sighs and meets him as he staggers his way back into the ring. Yuki grabs Steve by the ears but he responds with a big shot to the gut. Yuki feels the pain but it just pisses her off and she swings for a clothesline but Steve sucks under and he runs for the ropes.

Steve doesn’t see Yuki grab the ladder from the corner and she sticks her head through the rungs. She quickly spins around and just cracks Steve right in the jaw with a spinning ladder lariat! The strike flips Steve heels over head and he lands on the ground out cold.

MUSHI: "(MY GOD! Did you hear the impact of that strike? The sound it made echoed through the arena!)"

Psycho KGB: "(That can’t feel good! Steve Awesome might need medical attention.)"

MUSHI: "(Well we have doctors on standby if he does, but with Steve down Yuki needs to take advantage and climb the ladder!)"

Yuki takes the ladder and she sets it up right in the middle of the ring. She starts climbing, rung by ring, and just when she starts to get close to the top, she feels something grab her foot! She looks down at Steve Awesome with blood trickling from his nose. She tries to kick at him to break his grip but Steve just drops back down to the mat with all his weight and it yanks Yuki down and she falls fast and hard back and head first to the mat. The ladder toppled over from the impact.

MUSHI: "(oh no! The whiplash on that move looked sickening!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Great job Steve! Stop her at all costs!)"

Steve pulls himself up with the ropes and he finally realizes his nose is bleeding. He grits his teeth in anger and drops to a mount position and starts hammering fists into Yuki’s head!

Yuki’s head jams into the mat but Steve isn’t done. He drags her back up to her feet once more and then tosses her through the ropes to the floor like a sack of potatoes. Steve takes the ladder and sets it up and starts his climbing.

Psycho KGB: "(Yes Steve! Climb the ladder! Achieve your destiny! CLIMB! CLIMB! CLIMB!!!!!)"

MUSHI: "(Will you calm down? Steve Awesome climbs up the ladder. He has his eye on the shoe.)"

Suddenly he stops when he notices Yuki starting to pull herself back up to her feet. Steve glances up at the shoe then back down at Yuki. He feels the blood running from his nose from that brutal ladder shot. Steve curses out loud and then climbs back down from the ladder.

MUSHI: "(And Steve Awesome stops and descends the ladder?)"

Psycho KGB: "(I think Steve wants to inflict more punishment on Yuki before he ends the match. He’s still pissed off that she made him bleed.)"

MUSHI: "(He could have had this match won. You have to wonder if he will be regretting this decision later.)"

Steve Awesome rolls out of the ring and walks over to Yuki and just drills a stiff forearm straight to the bridge of her nose! Yuki takes two more before she crumples back down again.

The crowd starts to get behind Yuki as Steve rams her face first into the ring post. And then the barricade. And then the ring apron. Steve kicks Yuki to the ground and then he starts rummaging under the ring.

MUSHI: "(Steve Awesome digging under the ring for more ways to cause harm to Yuki Sakaraba now, looks like he’s got….another table?)"

The crowd gasp.

Psycho KGB: "(That’s no ordinary table!)"

Steve pulls out a table wrapped in barbed wire! He carefully hoists it up on TOP of the two tables that were already there, and Steve manages to stack the barbed wire table on top.

MUSHI: "(would you look at this terrible structure that has been erected here? What is that barbed wire table even doing under the ring, anyhow?)"

Psycho KGB: "(Steve Awesome said he was going to perform an extremely late term abortion here tonight. I think this is all part of his plan. I got one hope he pulls it off.)"

MUSHI: "(How do you sleep at night? Anyways. Steve Awesome throws Yuki back into the ring. He drags her over to the nearest turnbuckle and he lifts her up on top. Dangerously close to that barbed wire table stacked on top of two other tables. Steve has evil intentions.)"

Psycho KGB: "(He’s climbing up there with her. It’s looks like he’s going to scoop slam toss her right through that hellish structure!)"

Steve carefully locks his feet in place and he flips Yuki up, feet in the air, for a big scoop slam into the tables.

Yuki kicks her feet and shimmies and manages to land behind Steve on the turnbuckle! She pounds Steve in the back and he starts to teeter forward.

Yuki clubs him again and Steve starts leaning even further. He is literally flapping his arms like wings trying to help himself get back toward the ring post.

Psycho KGB: "(No! If Steve falls off that turnbuckle he will fall right through all those tables and the barbed wire Mushi!)"

MUSHI: "(I think we are all aware of this!)"

Yuki leaps up and lands a drop kick right to the back of Steve’s head just as he was catching his balance! But at the last minute he does all he can to dive out of the way of the tables and he takes the long hard fall to the floor flat on his face! Yuki takes a second to recover from the shorter fall and when she does, she spots the ladder all set up and alone in the middle of the ring. Yuki starts to climb and as she does she notices the bloody, sweaty mess that is Steve Awesome stagger up to his feet and stumble to the ring apron.

MUSHI: "(Yuki is right there! She just needs to grab the shoe and pull it down and it’s all hers!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Steve hurry up! This is your childhood dream on the line here.)"

Steve Awesome rolls into the ring. Yuki’s hand slaps the shoe and it starts rocking back and forth, out of her reach. Steve climbs up the other side and manages to get a shot to the midsection. Yuki fires a right hand of her own. Then she reaches through the rungs and grabs Steve by the hair and yanks him face first into the ladder. Steve is stunned. Yuki drops down and runs up the other side that Steve is on and starts trying to German suplex him off the ladder!

Steve quickly jams some elbows into the side of Yuki’s head. She loses her grip and drops down to the floor. Steve takes a sigh of relief only for Yuki to springboard off the ropes and back into the German position! She lets it fly and Steve falls down onto his head and neck! Steve kicks the mat in pain as he holds his neck. Yuki goes down.

MUSHI: "(oh my god! What a move! That had to of been a an eight foot German suplex!!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Oh no! Somebody check on Steve.)"

After awhile both are back up to their feet. They both run towards each other and lariat one another. They back up, feeling the pain from the last moments throughout the match. Steve slaps the taste out of Yuki’s mouth and Yuki responds with a slap of her own. They start trading slaps and chops before Sakaraba is knocked down with a kick below the belt. She gets to her knees and punches Awesome in his family jewels! Steve lets out a high pitched scream and drops to his knees.

Both on their knees now, they start laying in forearms into one another. Yuki and Steve get back up, hitting each other stiffer and faster with each blow. This ends in a rush of kicks and chops with a big pele kick from Yuki to end the brawl. She slides out to grab a ladder, but is met with a baseball slide from Steve! She eats a face full of steel as she gets knocked back into the barricade.

Steve grabs the ladder and slowly climbs up the ladder. He gets a finger on the contract before we see Sakawaba springboard her way onto the top of the ladder! They start to lay in some strikes again, but this time Yuki spits her black mist into Steve’s eyes! He drops down screaming. Yuki reaches for the contract now. She has a hand on it, but no! She’s wobbling. The ladders shaking, it’s Steve’s manager, ZELDA KNITE!!! She pushes the ladder over and Yuki goes crashing to the outside and through the tables that were set up early on!

MUSHI: "(OH MY GOD! Yuki Sakaraba just came crashing through those tables and she’s wrapped in barbed wire.)"

Psycho KGB: "(YES! And now Zelda is helping Steve set up the ladder!)"

She puts the ladder back up and helps Steve to the top. Steve grabs the contract! He wins! He wins the best in Shoe Co. Contract!

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of this match Steve Awesome!)”

MUSHI: "(Damn it! Had it not been for Zelda Knite, Yuki would have had this!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Quit complaining MUSHI! A wrong has been righted here tonight. Steve Awesome is the new Best in Shoe! Shoe Co Shoeperstar!)"

Michael Shumacker comes out to raise Steve’s hand but he can’t help but feel concerned for Yuki.

Main Event: Sakura Tag League 2020 Finals; Standard J-ROK Tag Team Rules; No Time Limit
Sons of Loki Vs. New Age Killers

MUSHI: “Folks, it’s time for the main event and the finals of the 2020 Sakura Tag League!)”

Psycho KGB: “(Both teams have went through tough competition, but now they face their fiercest competition yet. Both teams have been undefeated this year as well, so tonight one team WILL lose. One team will be pinned or submitted for the very first time!)”

MUSHI: “(Speaking of the teams, On one side we have Jormungander and Fenrir, The Sons of Loki, who are apart of the mysterious Harbringers group. These men went through Bad Luck Inc, Samantha Tolson & Marry Ellen Harison, KTPG and the Powerbuff Girlz to make it here tonight. They’re here to cause even more chaos in the world!)”

Psycho KGB: “(And the next team, consisting of James Raymond and Maverick, New Age Killers made it to the finals by beating Interstella 5555, Sweet Melody, Masters of The Mat and Dylan Black and El Comatiente. Maverick himself even became Destiny Wrestling Shooting Star Champion last sunday. But there is something i think we should mention…)”

MUSHI: “(And what’s that?)”

Psycho KGB: “(James Raymond made it to the finals of the King of Hokkaido Tournament earlier this year, but failed. Do you think he may have a bit of a curse going for him when he gets in the spotlight? After all he has a history of choking when the going gets tough.)”

MUSHI: “(I guess we’ll find out tonight, now folks, onto the introductions.)”

We cut to the ring where both teams are there. We see the big STL Trophy and the check for a million yen. Fumio Daemura begins the introductions now.

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is set for one fall and may end in Pinfall, submission, or knock out only! This match has no time limit, there must be a winner! And this match is the Sakura Tag League 2020 Finals! Now introducing first, in the blue corner… the team of Jormungandr and Fenrir…. They are Sons of Loki!)”

The fans boo as the chaotic duo’s name is called.

Fumio Daemura: “(And their opponents, in the red corner… they are the Destiny Wrestling Shooting Star Champion Maverick and James Raymond, New Age Killers!)”

The fans give a mixed reaction to NaK as they step up. Jormungandr starts things off for his team as James Raymond starts things off for his team.

Jormungandr and James start the match with a lock up. Jormungandr wrenches his arm and twists it, getting behind Raymond. Raymond rolls over, unwtisting his arm and steps over, still grabbing hold of his opponents wrist. He’s pulled by the wrist and falls onto his back. He spins around and tries to trip the Harbringer, but he jumps over and twists his opponents arm even tighter now.

Now behind him, he goes for a modified Cobra’s Bite cobra clutch. James flips over and gets into a pinning position, forcing the hold to be broken as he gets a two count. Both men get up to their feet and circle around one another as the fans begin to clap at the impressive feats and technical prowess they just saw. Both men lock up again, this time Raymond getting in the headlock.

Jormungandr pushes him into the ropes and goes for a back body drop, but Raymond keeps hold of the headlock, now both are on the ground. The headlock is in deep, with the Harbringer getting an arm above Jame’s head and under his chin. They get back to their feet as he tries to go for a Coiling Viper twisting brainbuster, but Raymond flips over behind him and lands a Raymond Special saito suplex.

Jormungandr gets back to his feet and shows his fighting spirit by hitting the coiling viper this time. He manages to get in the tag to his partner now, who rushes to the otherside to land a quick hit towards Maverick. Fenrir turns his attention to Raymond, who’s now getting up.

He hits him with a hurricarana, only for Raymond to cartwheel out of it and rush him with a Headshot! Big boot! Fenrir backflips to matrix dodge it and rolls him up into a schoolboy, he gets to his feet and goes for a spinning heel kick. It’s caught as Raymond goes for a belly to back suplex, it’s stopped with some well placed elbows and Fenrir gets behind him now.

Spinning him around and kicking him in the gut before dropping him down with a double underhook ddt he calls the Howling Echo. a pin attempt and…

ONE!

TW-

No Maverick breaks it up for his team. Jormungandr cuts in and throws Maverick outside the ring, both now brawling for a bit on the outside. Back in the ring the evenly matched and worn down Raymond and Fenrir are trading more moves with one another. We see a flurry of strikes and combos before Fenrir is irish whipped into the ropes, he rolls over the top and comes back onto the apron like a mini masked ric flair. He springboards off the top and comes crashing down with a Gnashing Fangs meteora! Raymond catches him and drops him down knees first into the mat. He pops back up and eats a Venom Bite question mark kick from James!

James goes to tag in Maverick, but at the last second Maverick is pulled down and eats a face full of apron! Jormungandr then shoves him into the barricade and into the crowd. He slides in the ring and clobbers Raymond with a stiff lariat. He helps his partner up before they both go for a double team move. They stand on opposite sides of the ring before rushing with a high/low kick combo they call the Reckoning. A quick pin from Fenrir…

ONE!

TWO!

TH-

Psycho KGB: “(Kick Out by Raymond!)”

Fenrir gets him up and goes for a powerslam before climbing the ropes. He goes for a senton but is met with two boots into his spine. He’s sent flying into the air and into the ropes. He crashes onto the apron near his partner where James goes for a spear. Jormungandr pushes Fenrir out of the way and eats the spear to save his partner!

Fenrir jumps off and hits Raymond with some Gnashing Fangs! He throws him into the ring and stomps on him some before picking him up for a fishermans suplex. He motions for the end and for his partner as they both get into the ring. They hit the flapjack/double knee facebreaker combo.

MUSHI: “(Ragnarok!)”

ONE!

No! Maverick breaks the pin out of nowhere! The New Age Killers ain’t out of this match yet as Maverick fights off the Sons of Loki! He takes Jormungandr and gives him a taste of his own medicine, driving him through a ringside table! Maverick hops onto his corner and reaches his hand out for the tag.

Raymond goes for it, but no! Again he can’t get the tag! Fenrir grabs his foot and drops him down into an ankle lock, stopping him from getting any closer to the tag. He tries to get him far away, but it’s of no use. Raymond kicks his teeth in and he gets the tag! For the first time in the match he’s gotten to tag out of this match!

Maverick comes in like a house of fire, he comes in with an Assassin's Blade, a jumping thrust kick, and bounces off the ropes, going for another one and another one and… before he can get another, Fenrir drops to his back and dodges it, he kips up and runs the ropes going for a hurricanrana. Maverick catches him and flips him into an electric chair driver…

Psycho KGB: “(Deus Ex Machina!)”

MUSHI: “(One! Two! Three… NO! Somehow Fenrir got out by the skin of his teeth with that rope break!)”

Psycho KGB: “(How much more can these men take?! How much more will they have to do to win?!)”

Maverick goes into the corner and waits for him to get up. Fenrir gets to his knees before Maverick foes for that vanity killer punt! Fenrir manages to dodge it with a second to spare. He rolls Maverick up for a two count before he knees him and gets him with a Swinging Reverse STO he calls the Blood Moon!

ONE!

TWO!

No! A kick out by Maverick!! Both men are rocked now. They scream at one another before trading chops in the middle of the ring. Both men not letting up, they hit each other with some stiff elbows and drop like dead fish onto the mat. The referee rushes over towards both to make sure they’re alright. After some time they manage to get back up. Fenrir is hit with a Blood Dragon double foot stomp from Maverick before he picks him up for a pumphandle tombstone piledriver he calls the Kingslayer…

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!





No Jormungandr breaks it up out of nowhere! All four men get into the ring now, they all begin to fight one another trading off moves and double team combos on one another. It ends with the legal men left in the ring. Fenrir goes for some more strikes, but a spinning kick is ducked and Maverick claps back with some of his own.

Maverick drops Fenrir with a Fallen Kingdom emerald flowsion before running the ropes. One time, two times, three times four. He keeps going back and forth, with all his speed and power, by the time he stops it had to of been fifteen times, he rushes towards Fenrir and punts his head in a horrendous way, Fenrir’s head contorts in an unnatural way as he is punted a few feet into the air. Maverick drops on top of him for the pin…

ONE!

...We see a figure rush into the ring…

TWO!

...There’s another now, James Raymond spears Jormungandr…

THREE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bell rings and then silence… not even the New Age Killers can believe what actually just happened in the ring. The crowd snaps out of it after a minute when I Disagree by Poppy plays over the loudspeakers. The fans slowly begin to clap after they realize what happened.

Psycho KGB: “(We’re just as speechless as you are folks… did…)”

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winners of this match and the 2020 Sakura Tag League Winners…. New Age Killers!)”

Psycho KGB: “(They did it! The New Age Killers defeated the unbeatable! The unpinnable! The unsubmitable! They defeated the Sons of Loki and are your 2020 Sakura Tag League winners!)”

MUSHI: “(Well folks your eyes aren’t playing a trick on you, neither are your ears. In fact here comes the J-ROK Owner down to the ring now. He’s got the trophy and the check for the winners…)”

Indeed they do come down to the ring. The J-ROK Owner gets into the ring and gives the trophies to both men as well as the check. They all take pictures and shake hands before confetti drops down from the sky and the winners celebrate.

Psycho KGB: “(Well folks this is all the time that we have this month, i’m still in shock from that last match…)”

MUSHI: “(I am too Psycho, but we have to keep moving forward. Next month is our biggest show of the year, Raison D’etre! We have 17 matches on both the preshow and main show with tons of guests and other huge matches! Folks this is going to be the one show of the year you don’t wanna miss!)”

Psycho KGB: “(Not to mention the crowning of trios champions, this will be a huge show! Check it out December 26th only on the XHF Network! And don’t forget the owner will even be there for a big announcement! I wonder what that’ll be…)”

MUSHI: “(You can find out this and so much more December 26th… so tune in and watch the best show of the year! Till then, i’m MUSHI he’s Psycho KGB and we’re signing off, bye bye!)”
