J-ROK Presents: Raison D'etre

[Kira Izumi]

J-ROK Presents: Raison D'être Pre-Show Extravaganza!
At Sapporo Dome In Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan
December 26, 2020

Match One: Standard J-ROK Rules; 30 Minute Time Limit
Alex Reyn Defeated Wellington Dunne
This match was a battle of precision against power. In the early stages of the bout, it was clear that Alex Reyn could not compete with Wellington Dunne's power and athleticism. Instead, he used his quickness to evade his attacks, striking at the big man's joints to weaken his offense and turn his size against him. Once an opening was made, the East Wind went after it like a dog with a bone. Assaulting Dunne's head and ribs with a relentless blitzkrieg of knees and other strikes. Here, the Scotland native earned the crowd's respect as he refused to stay down under Reyn's attack, Wellington fought back with everything he had, but Alex had been to effective at chopping him down. Despite a valiant effort, he could not stop his opponent from locking on a guillotine choke in the middle of the ring. And while his heart was willing to fight on, the knees to his ribs meant his body just didn't have the oxygen to stay concious.
Time: (16:30)

Match Two: Standard J-ROK Rules; 30 Minute Time Limit
Novita Defeated Himeko Kayashi
This was a back and forth match that saw Novita pick up a win with a roll up.
Time: (9:38)

Match Three: Standard J-ROK Rules; 30 Minute Time Limit
Jessie Roberts Defeated Adline La Roux
This was a very even matchup with both women getting some big moves on one another. We'd see Roberts pick up the win after getting a small package.
Time: (12:44)

Match Four: Standard J-ROK Tag Team Rules; 30 Minute Time Limit
The Hellhounds Defeated The Smiles Protection Agency
This one was a violent affair. The hounds would show SPA just how dangerous they were. SPA would get a few close calls, but in the end the Stillborn Cradle would get the Hellhounds the victory.
Time: (9:38)

Match Five: Standard J-ROK Tag Team Rules; 30 Minute Time Limit
Sons of Loki Defeated Rage & Fury
this was a brutal match with tons of stiff strikes. it turned into a bloody brawl by the end. but the Sons would be the ones to get the win.
Time: (14:20)

Match Six: Standard J-ROK Tag Team Rules; 30 Minute Time Limit
SKY Force (Nausicaa Suzuki & Charles) Drew with The Rock Hearts
a spectacle of a match, both teams had each other scouted. Looks like they both watched their opponents tapes for this one. We'd see tons of high flying moves and impressive athletics through out the match. Neither could finish off the other though, and we'd end in a time limit draw.
Time: (30:00)

Match Seven: J-ROK Straight Edge Championship Match; Straight Edge Rules; 60 Minute Time Limit
Zolothach Defeated Hanna Rockford
a technical match up with tons of strikes, Zolo would keep her belt.
Time: (24:01)

Main Event: Super Sake Contract Ladder Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Off The Wagon Defeated Eric Havoc & Noa Kahuna Jr.
a pretty chaotic match was this one. It's been brewing for months and would culminate at this very moment. With the Super Sake contract on the line this was high stakes! We'd see Off The Wagon with the win though, after knocking both opponents off through ladders on the outside!
Time: (58:37)

I want you, I love you
I hate you, but need you
君が嫌いだ
分かんない、分かんないもう
君が思うよりも夜は長い
I hate you、反重力？
なんてね、嘘だ
All you need is money
もう詮索しないで
私もまだ何も知らないの？
Do-do, do-do

We open up as Polkadot Stingray is on the stage playing their latest hit from their new album Nanimono. Once the song is over with we see a spectacular fireworks display and a hype package that showcases the last year of J-ROK. Everythings finally come to this one moment. We see the PURE and Kado war, the dominance of STRiFE. Highlights of the trios tournament and the journey of Sky Force to even hold the tag team titles they have now. This and more can be seen.

Psycho KGB: "(Welcome everyone to Raison D'etre! We are in a jam packed Sapporo Dome in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan tonight with some amazing matches to come!)"

MUSHI: "(We have an announcement of some kind from the J-ROK Owner as well tonight. You know, Psycho there's so many great matches we've seen on the preshow and that wasn't even the main card! To think that's what they have to compete with, i can't imagine what we're in store for tonight.)"

Psycho KGB: "(We have tons of huge matches, from an IJWF World championship match with the undeniable Kayla Winters taking on the future ace herself, Momoko Honda. There's also the next chapter to the DT and Armand feud too. Not mention a loser leaves J-ROK match between Yuki and Steve!)"

MUSHI: "(So much here tonight and so much more to come, we just have to thank you folks for joining us tonight. Now no more delays, Let the Wargames begin!)"

---

(The Sapporo crowds are enjoying the shows when suddenly a reverberating guitar line starts up which is followed a few seconds later by a heavy drum line as a set of four people come out onto the entrance way and the crowds react with a mixture of boos and cheers, but mostly boos once it’s seen clearly that this is the Dominion themselves as the song plays around the group's arrival)

<The undying embrace of chaos and war>
<As the oppressed lie writhing down on the floor>
<The Babylon of fear that you shall know>
<To rule and suppress, destroy and overthrow>

(All four men on the stage are dressed respectfully in very tasteful white and black suits with their leader grinning wildly as he acts like he's bowing down to the JROK crowds which only brings up more boos for the group as the music fades away as the group’s “manager” in Jason Tyrell brings the mic up)

Tyrell: Hello Sapporo, did you miss us?

(From the sounds of the boos that come up from the reaction, not very likely)

Tyrell: Well, we missed you but in another place we did say that we’d be back and sure enough...SURPRISE!!! Now while some group and people love to come into a new promotion and bang that drum about everything that they accomplished and what titles have hung from their shoulders, we won’t go that route here because we’re more interested in proving that everything that we say that we can do in that very ring is the truth.

But some of you, some of you know that this man right here!

(Tyrell walks up and points at Alex Pierce who is simply standing there with a little smile on his face)

Tyrell: You know that this man was another company’s standard bearer, that he held up an entire company upon those broad and powerful shoulders here and it is those shoulders upon which I place the weight of the Dominion’s future successes upon because this man, for those of you who don’t know...this is the “Fire Fist Ace” himself, this is the “Eliminator” Alex Pierce.

But the man next to him, he is not a Strong Style Wrestler...but a Strong Style Thug!

(Tyrell then motions at Raijin who throws both of his arms up into the air, his thick neck and shoulders are wrapped in a length of thick metal chain)

Tyrell: This man right here in Raijin Takayama, he is my Dominion’s enforcer. He is the silence behind the violence and he brings his love of fighting right back here to his native country...with a wicked twist.

But ah-ah-ah...every group needs a handsome young face, someone to be a company’s brand so to speak and after scouring the world for the right grinning oni...I came across this man and brought him here to you, the fans of JROK!!

(Tyrell motions at Ryo who has a wicked confident smile on his face)

Tyrell: Japan, might I have the exquisite honor of introducing one of your favorite sons...this is the “Invincible Dragon” himself, the “Shogun of Lucharesu” and a damn handsome man...this is Ryo Sakazaki!!

I could’ve brought this brotherhood of chaos anywhere, but we felt the need, nay the desire to come here to Japanese Renaissance of Kakuto to wrestle, learn, and expand from some of the true greats that professional wrestling has to offer because one comes to Japan, one comes to the XHF and JROK not for simple *glory*...but to prove one’s mettle and determination.

Look to greats like Kira and Maverick, they came from here...so what more is there to say that if my Dominion is to thrive, to become the strongest Bastards of Evil in all of professional wrestling then they must excel here!!

(Tyrell stops, pushing some of his wild mane of hair back away from his face as he struggles to regain his composure as some of the fans, a small percentage, give a smattering of approval as he takes his moment)

Tyrell: Now with that being said...I’d be lying if I didn’t think that the JROK Trios championships wouldn’t look good around the waists of my Dominion, so you can be rest assured that we will be watching the trios match later in the evening without a doubt.

Now...some of you might be wondering how I managed to get back into the good graces of the Japanese wrestling community let alone…

(Tyrell turns and walks over to stand before the towering form of Alex Pierce, his little smile now gone from his face as he looks down at his manager with a glare)

Tyrell: Stand in the same ring as the manager of a man that I called “brother” and yet tried to burn him alive once upon a short time ago...well the answer to that is simple.

(Does a partial turn like he’s telling a secret) I made a little deal...with some devils.

But perhaps I’ve said too much and my Dominion has said too little, but the important thing to remember is that we are now here in Japanese Renaissance of Kakuto and one will never know what kind of disasterpieces we shall unfold for you all!

(“Overlord” by the Black Label Society starts back up as the foursome head back into the shadows of the backstage area)

---

Fumio Daemura: "(The following contest is a barefoot thumb tacks and lego deathmatch that is scheduled for one fall! Featuring first the challenger…”the Main Attraction” Death Trap!)"

The haunting vocal intro for "The Hard Sell" by Coheed and Cambria hits the speakers and the lights dim and blue and gold spotlights strobe around the arena. The XtremeTron lights up with a familiar theme as it reads, "Main Attraction ... Showing Once Again" A foot shatters the screen and we cut to images from DT's matches in MCCW against the likes of Nelly Angel, Weaselpop, and Eichi Yamaguchi. The first verse sets in as the screen shows DT tapping out Jason Justice and being handed the MCCW World title for the second time.

"I'm paranoid, and sick of this world's misconception of things I did. My language poured across this wrist in a metaphoric disaster."

DT slowly walks into a red spotlight on the stage with his head down hidden under a hoodie. It's black and has his custom interlocking DT logo with an italian flag and mariners compass on it on the back. He stands in the spotlight and slowly looks up showing off his signature bowler hat and sunglasses under the hood. The tron shows images of his victories over Alexis Grace, Duke Kosloff, Ai Moe, and Jeremiah Vastrix all split screen one per corner all in his signature 'Death Trap' Dragon Clutch finisher. It then flashes to him holding the EOD 2019 briefcase over his head. It quickly transforms into him getting three pinfalls over Anthony Caffrey and being handed the X*Crown facemask before wiping into an image of DT posing with his custom X*Crown belt, the ECF title with a big bad X on it.

"My guess, I'm missing out the punchline, unless this hanging noose is fitted to be all mine. I stood by everything I loved, while you never understood me much..."

He flips the hood back and throws his hands up into a cross over his head before dropping them into his signature pose (the orton one, you know it.). The strobe blue and gold spotlights move faster around the arena as he soaks in the adoration of fans from two generations.

"Cuz there's only one ... of me. And too many of you, fighting over nothing. There's never enough cool for everyone and before you know it you're selling out to be in."

He unzips the hoodie and tosses it into the crowd and starts marching to the ring. He pats the MCCW World Title over his right shoulder. He rolls into the ring and climbs the far corner and poses as gold pyro showers down from the overhead area. He leaps down, hands over his titles to the ref, and begins stretching on the ropes.

PsychoKGB: "(Death Trap has been chomping at the bit to get Armand von Krauss in a one on one match ever since the main event at SWAT’s last show.)"

MUSHI: "(He wants to take down what he perceives as the King of the Bullies.)"

PsychoKGB: "(Armand just likes to be in control.)"

MUSHI: "(Yeah, of everyone around him.)"

Fumio Daemura: "(And his opponent, Armand von Krauss!)"

“Circus Apocalypse” by Vermillion Lies begins playing as Armand von Krauss walks out from the back to the boos from the crowd. He is not dressed up in ring gear, nor is he barefoot. He’s dressed up in a business suit with shoes. He’s also smoking an Egyptian cigarette. He walks down to ringside, ignoring the booing fans while trailing smoke all the way.

MUSHI: "(What is this? Armand isn’t ready to wrestle. Why is he not ready to wrestle?)"

PyschoKGB: "(Maybe he has a plan of some sort.)"

Death Trap leans on the ropes by Armand, looking not happy about what’s going on.

Death Trap: What are you doing? Take your shoes off and get into the ring?

Armand blows smoke into Death Trap’s face with a chuckle.

Armand von Krauss: You thought you were going to face me in the ring? You are such a saugnapf.

Death Trap turns as the thumb tacks and legos are being sprinkled across the ring. He catches the sneaking Gabriel Tuck with a hard right hand. Gabriel is in black jeans, a Harley Davidson shirt and leather riding jacket. He also has boots on…

PsychoKGB: "(Classic bait and switch play going on here!)"

MUSHI: "(That cheat! The least that Gabriel could do is take off his boots!)"

Gabriel recovers quickly enough and returns the punch. Death Trap hits an uppercut that drives Gabriel back a few steps. Death Trap advances, but then steps on a lego. He pauses in pain for a moment and it’s all the time that Gabriel needs to stomp on his foot!

Death Trap’s mouth hangs open in pain as his foot is crushed between Legos and a boot. He responds by grabbing Gabriel around the head and applying a side headlock.

Gabriel shoves Death Trap off of him and into the ropes. Death Trap comes back with a shoulder charge that sends Gabriel Tuck back first into the legos and thumbtacks. Gabriel lets out a shout of pain while Death Trap grabs him for a spinning toe hold. He puts the leg between his legs and begins to take off the boot. Gabriel gets up his other foot and kicks Death Trap off of him, but the boot comes off too.

Gabriel starts to get to his feet when Death Trap slams the boot upside his head to knock him back down to the mat onto his side. Death Trap goes for the other boot, but catches a bare foot right in the mouth for his efforts that sends him backpedaling to the ropes.

PsychoKGB: "(Death Trap going to even the odds by taking off Gabriel’s boots!)"

MUSHI: "(I don’t think that will really even the odds since Death Trap is a veteran wrestler and Gabriel Tuck isn’t much more than a fighter. I mean sure, Gabriel has held a World title, but when you consider the quality of the company that he held the World title of. It doesn’t really make for an equal level.)"

Death Trap comes at the rising Gabriel Tuck, hitting a shining wizard that sends Gabriel back down to the lego and thumbtack covered mat. Gabriel rolls around on the painful objects while howling. Death Trap grabs him by the other foot and begins to take the boot off.

Gabriel Tuck gets to his feet with a sneer, but looks on in shock as Death Trap slips the boots on! Death Trap charges Gabriel, hitting a big boot to the head that sends Gabriel back down to the mat. Death Trap stomps on Gabriel with his own boots, slamming the side of Gabriel’s face into the mat.

PsychoKGB: "(Oh geeze. Gabriel has lego impressions and trickles of blood all over his body from where he’s been struck by legos and thumbtacks. He has quite a few thumbtacks still in him too.)"

MUSHI: "(Armand should have sent in someone who knows how to wrestle against Death Trap instead.)"

Gabriel slips on his PIE brass knuckles from a pocket and takes a swing at Death Trap to try to catch him in the jaw, but Death Trap catches him by the wrist and turns it into a forward Russian legsweep. He cinches in the dragon clutch with Gabriel quickly tapping out.

PyschoKGB: "(Death Trap with the Death Trap! Gabriel is finished!)"

Death Trap stands up and takes off Gabriel Tuck’s boots, throwing them at him as he rolls out of the ring.

Armand flicks ashes onto the floor, looking unhappy that Gabriel Tuck was defeated, but he nods.

Armand holds the Egyptian cigarette between his lips while he takes off his jacket, shoes, and socks. He begins to walk up the ring steps and gets onto the ring apron when the crowd begin to roar a warning.

Death Trap turns around to be seized by the throat by Sticky the Clown. Death Trap is lifted into the air and choke slammed onto the legos and thumbtacks. Armand laughs and laughs as he walks down the ring steps and back to ringside.

Armand von Krauss: Oh Death Trap, you are so vertrauen.

PsychoKGB: "(Sticky also has his boots on.)"

MUSHI: "(Can’t any of Armand’s goons even come close to following the rules? Why isn’t the ref doing something about this?)"

Sticky palms Death Trap’s face, pulls him up just a little bit, and smashes him into the mat a few times. He throws Death Trap onto the legos and thumbtacks before dropping a knee onto the man’s chest. He gets off of Death Trap and leans down so that his face is over Death Trap’s. Needle sharp teeth pierce blackened gums as he grins over his prey, black ooze that might be blood dripping from Sticky’s mouth and onto Death Trap’s face.

Sticky the Clown: Are you afraid yet?

Death Trap doesn’t answer, keeping his mouth closed so that he doesn’t taste the black ooze dripping onto his closed mouth. Sticky laughs monstrously, opens his mouth up wide, and bites into Death Trap’s shoulder, sending blood spurting from the wound as his needle sharp teeth rip into flesh.

Death Trap lets out a scream of pain before retching as the black Ozzie gets into his mouth. Sticky the Clown stands up, wiping his twisted grin with the back of his hand. Death Trap clutches at his bleeding shoulder.

MUSHI: "(Shouldn’t the ref have stopped Sticky from biting?)"

PsychoKGB: "(I think it’s technically a no dq kind of match. So biting is okay. Even with a being like Sticky that has what appears to be a chainsaw for a mouth.)"

Sticky puts the boots to Death Trap before lifting him up into a press slam position from the mat. He drops Death Trap belly first onto the legos and thumbtacks! Sticky grabs the downed Death Trap by the arms and places a foot onto his back so that he can pull the arms back.

You can see the pain on Death Trap’s face as Sticky stretches him out. The ref checks to see if he will submit, but he shakes his head no. Sticky releases one wrist and pulls on the right wrist with both hands in a jerking motion until a sickening pop silences the crowd. Death Trap lets out a roar of pain as his shoulder is dislocated.

Sticky stomps on the back of Death Trap’s head, smashing his face into the legos and thumbtacks in such a way that breaks Death Trap’s nose with a burst of blood. Sticky pulls Death Trap up and hurls him through the air into the ropes. On the rebound, Sticky slams his knee into Death Trap’s gut, sending him for a flip.

PsychoKGB: "(Sticky is treating Death Trap like a plaything.)"

MUSHI: "(He’s being crushed!)"

Death Trap manages to get up to his knees when Sticky goes for a punch. Death Trap blocks with his left arm, but then Sticky punches with his other arm where Death Trap’s limp right arm cannot block. Death Trap goes down like a ton of bricks.

Sticky the Clown walks around the downed Death Trap, who is bleeding from the face and shoulder along with dozens of tiny wounds from thumbtacks. Sticky looks to Armand von Krauss with a wide sadistic grin, black ooze dripping off of his chin from where needle sharp teeth pierce blackened gums. Like an ancient Roman Emperor of Old, Armand von Krauss raises his right hand and gives the thumbs down.

PsychoKGB: "(What does the thumbs down mean?)"

MUSHI: "(I think it means that Sticky is to finish him.)"

PsychoKGB: "(Finish him how? Like kill him?)"

MUSHI: "(I think so.)"

Sticky the Clown pulls Death Trap up to his knees and raises both of his hands into the air, meaning to crush the life out of him. Death Trap seems to come to and headbutts Sticky in the crotch with all of his might. Sticky doesn’t cry out in pain, but his eyes nearly bulge out of his head as both hands go to his crotch and he begins to slowly back away from Death Trap.

Death Trap lays back on the mat, grimacing in the pain from the legos and thumbtacks. He raises his right shoulder up, and brings it down hard against the mat with a yelp of pain to relocate the shoulder back into its socket.

Death Trap gets to his feet as Sticky recovers. Sticky grins monstrously.

Sticky rushes at Death Trap, going for a massive shoulder charge. Death Trap counters with a drop toe hold that sends Sticky face first to the mat!

Sticky the Clown lets out a high pitched squeal of pain, rolling around on the mat with his hands at his left eye. He nearly bowls Death Trap down, but he leaps over the rolling giant.

PsychoKGB: "(What could be wrong with his eye?)"

MUSHI: "(I think he got a thumbtack in his eyeball!)"

Sticky sits up and yes, plucks a thumbtack from his left eye. The thumbtack removal gives Death Trap the distraction needed to get into position and nail a drop kick that sends Sticky back to the mat!

Sticky stands back up, his usual smile turned upside down as he angrily regards Death Trap.

Death Trap hits a spear, but it doesn’t take the behemoth clown down. It does however, get him to double over slightly. Death Trap steps back and hits a diamond cutter! He goes for the pinfall!

One


Two


Thr-Sticky kicks out!

Death Trap gets up grabbing the rising Sticky and hitting a cradle ddt! He goes for the pinfall again!

One

Two

Thr- Sticky kicks out!

Death Trap jumps up to his feet, crouching and watching as Sticky slowly gets up. He hits the massive clown with a forward Russian leg sweep before applying the Death Trap (dragon clutch). Sticky tries to hold on, but quickly taps out. Death Trap stands up, watching as Sticky rolls out of the ring in defeat. Death Trap looks to Armand von Krauss.

Death Trap: Are you going to get into the ring now or do you have another goon for me to defeat?

Armand von Krauss: You look like you would be better off going to the hospital and (Armand smirks) get a series of rabies shots for that bite. You never know what Sticky has.

PsychoKGB: "(I think that maybe Death Trap has gone through enough tonight and he should take on Armand’s offer to let him go to the hospital.)"

MUSHI: "(No! He came here tonight to fight Armand!)"

Death Trap stands in the middle of the ring, blood across his face, down his chest, and all down his arm from his shoulder.

Death Trap: That’s fine. I can go to the hospital now. I mean, if the great Armand is too cowardly to face an injured man in the ring that is.

Armand was turning and getting ready to leave for the back to join the defeated Gabriel Tuck and Sticky the Clown, but he turns back around at the mention of being a coward.

Armand von Krauss: How dare you call one such as me a coward!

Death Trap: You sent Gabriel Tuck and Sticky to fight me instead of stepping into the ring yourself. Then, when it came time for you to pick up what your goons couldn’t do, you decide to leave. That sounds like the very definition of a coward! What do you guys think?

The crowd cheer Death Trap on. Armand von Krauss looks around at the crowd and then to Death Trap, looking very angry. He climbs the ring steps and steps through the ropes, still barefoot and jacketless.

Armand von Krauss: Just remember, David, you brought this beschämende und vernichtende Niederlage upon yourself.

PsychoKGB: "(Finally, Armand himself is in the ring.)"

MUSHI: "(I don’t know that this will be a fair fight since Death Trap has been through so much already.)"

Armand walks up to Death Trap, stepping on legos and thumbtacks with a straight face. He and Death Trap lock up in a collar-elbow tie up, pushing against one another until Death Trap turns it into a side headlock. Armand goes to Irish whip Death Trap, but finds it reversed on him. Armand comes back on the rebound and is hip tossed to the mat. Armand rolls through it and back to his feet, spinning and catching Death Trap in the side of the head with an elbow strike in a blow that staggers Death Trap backwards a few painful steps.

Armand seizes Death Trap with a shoulder claw, really digging his thumb into the bite wound from Sticky the Clown. Death Trap opens his mouth to scream in pain, but no sounds come out as he drops down to his knees. The ref checks to see if he will submit, but Death Trap refuses.

Armand von Krauss: You come to my company. You interfere in MY business. You should have expected this...sticky end.

Armand seizes Death Trap’s other shoulder and then headbutts him so powerfully that it breaks both shoulder claws and sends Death Trap to the mat. Armand kicks Death Trap in the ribcage to roll him over to his chest. Armand stomps Death Trap on the back a few times before pressing down on the side of his face with a bare foot to smash Death Trap’s face into the legos and thumbtacks. Armand chuckles.

Armand von Krauss: You are supposed to be a former X*Crown champion. It reveals the downfall in all of you schwächelnde Kämpfer. You “professional wrestlers” are not prepared to die like I am. I will have an easy time of things come Supremacy if you are the measure of what I am to face.

PsychoKGB: "(Is this an execution we’re looking at? Does Armand plan on killing Death Trap in the ring?)"

MUSHI: "(Is he saying that he’s representing SWAT at Supremacy?)"

PsychoKGB: "(He won’t be going there if he kills Death Trap in the middle of the ring.)"

Armand begins to pull Death Trap up to go for a suplex, but gets pulled down into a jawbreaker instead! Armand springs right back up and is met with a hard right hand from Death Trap. Armand responds with one of his own and the two go back and forth, trading punches like they were defenseless boxers. Death Trap lets out a shout as Armand crumbles to the mat. Though blood practically coats Death Trap, he stands strong in the middle of the ring.

Death Trap: You thought you could harm my friends and have me NOT be involved?

Armand gets up to his knees, grinning as blood trickles from the corner of his mouth.

Armand von Krauss: Are you everywhere, David? Can you protect all of your friends?

Death Trap narrows his eyes, looking down at Armand.

Death Trap: What are you talking about?

Armand von Krauss: It won’t be long before Sticky makes his way to Fireside for one night only. Can you think of any friends who could be harmed on that night?

Death Trap blinks.

Death Trap: Mistress Discipline can take care of herself!

Armand von Krauss: Against any regular man, sure. Against Sticky?

Armand lunges, bringing Death Trap to the mat in a double leg takedown. Armand stands up, pulling Death Trap up, and whips him into the corner, following with a leaping elbow strike to the chest! Armand goes for the bitten shoulder again with another claw move, making Death Trap slide down to the mat into a seated position.

Armand von Krauss: You chose to interfere. Your friends are going to pay the price for your insolence. What do you have to say?

Death Trap doesn’t say anything, his face screwed up in pain. Armand grins and twists his hand while continuing to apply pressure to the shoulder.

Armand von Krauss: Grief stricken already, David? Say your goodbyes now. You won’t see them until they join you in the hospital.

Death Trap looks up at Armand and spews blood into Armand’s eyes. Armand releases him and backs up several steps as he starts trying to clear his vision.

PsychoKGB: "(Death Trap bit his tongue until it bled so that he would have something to spit into Armand’s eyes!)"

MUSHI: "(That’s one way to do things.)"

Death Trap grabs the blinded Armand and hits a forward Russian legsweep to take him down. He then applies the Death Trap (Dragon Clutch)! The ref checks to see if Armand will submit, but he refuses. He also can’t seem to escape the hold so Death Trap cinches the hold in as tight as he can, drawing out a gasp of pain from Armand.

PsychoKGB: "(Armand needs to submit before permanent harm is done.)"

Armand tries to break out of the hold, but when it seems apparent that he isn’t going to escape, he reluctantly taps out. Death Trap stands up and puts his arms in the air in victory, despite the pain from the shoulder that had been dislocated.

Fumio Daemura: "(Winner of this match...Death Trap!)"

Armand von Krauss lays on the mat in pain, looking in disbelief at being defeated.

Death Trap: My friends can take care of themselves and since you told me tonight, I will be there to ensure that Sticky does nothing!

Armand von Krauss rolls out of the ring where he’s met by Gabriel Tuck and Sticky the Clown to help Armand to the back.

---

The scene cuts backstage as we find XHF X*Crown Champion Dylan Black walking through the hallway. He has his title belt hanging over his shoulder and he looked like he had somewhere to be. As the champ walked he passed by Steve Awesome and Zelda Knite.

Steve Awesome: Oh hey champ. Nice belt. How much money did you pay for it again? Hah ha!

Steve turns toward Zelda and the two of them laugh together as the X*Crown Champion approaches.

Dylan Black: I'd say, more than your discount Rolex, your cheap sunglasses, and your two dollar hooker of a girlfriend combined.

Suddenly Steve Awesome and Zelda weren’t smirking as much. In fact, they seemed a little irritated by the comment. Zelda steps up ready to fight but Steve holds her back and steps up in the champs face himself.

Steve Awesome: You wouldn’t be saying that if it were me facing you for that belt. As a matter of fact, I hope Keith Williams sleazes all over your little title reign tonight. I want your idiotic world tour to end just so I can see the look on your big stupid little face!

Dylan Black: Unfortunately, the only thing Keith is “sleazing all over” tonight, is himself. This title stays with me just like it has for 118 days and counting. The real question is, whether or not you are still going to have a job after this show is over?

Steve Awesome: Woah! Hey! Stop right there! I plan on being in J-ROK for a very long time. You can rest assured that I am going to beat Yuki Sakaraba into a bloody pulp and kick her out of J-ROK forever! So how about, once I’m done with all that, why don’t you give ME a title shot? Then I can shut you up myself.

Dylan Black: As much as I’d love to see you try, the only way you are getting a shot at this belt is if you step in line and earn a shot or if you win a world title from a retired fed.

Steve stops to consider what Dylan just said. He glances back at Zelda and then back at the X*Crown Championship.

Steve Awesome: Interesting...

Dylan Black: ...uh huh...

Dylan flips his title to the other shoulder and as he does so the sleeves to his sweatshirt run down revealing his metal forearms. If Steve were drinking something at that moment he would have spit it all over the place in shock.

Steve Awesome: Woah dude! Sweet metal arms!

Dylan Black: Thanks?

Steve looks up at the champ, serious as can be.

Steve Awesome: I want one.

The champ was slightly taken aback by the statement. There was just this strange decisiveness in Steve’s voice.

Dylan Black: Uhhhh...

Steve Awesome continues to glare at the X*Crown Champion while occasionally glancing down at his metal arm. The champ glares back, not backing down, but still a tad bit confused.

Fade out on this awkward stare down.

---

MUSHI: "(Here we go folks. The following match is the only match not billed as a death match. But the loser will be forced to leave J-Rok forever! So I suppose in a way, we will still see the death of something.)"

Psycho KGB: "(I for one am so excited to never have to see Yuki Sakaraba’s dumb face in J-Rok again.)"

The camera displays the ring crew wheeling out the vat of tar and the sack of feathers. They start getting everything set in place on the stage.

MUSHI: "(There you see the tar and feathers brought into the equation by Steve Awesome. The loser of this match not only loses their job here but they also get tarred and feathered on the way out.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Steve is a genius. He really knows the things that I want to see happen.)"

MUSHI: "(Yeah well, the match hasn’t even begun yet so we will see who becomes the loser.)"

The competitors are in the ring and the ring announcer takes the middle of the ring.

Fumio Daemura: "(The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL and it has a thirty minute time limit. The loser of this match MUST LEAVE J-ROK.)"

The camera shows Yuki Sakaraba standing in her corner, ready to unleash fury.

Fumio Daemura: "(In this corner, from Hirosaki-Shi, Aomori Prefecture,Japan! She is the DARK PULSAR! YUUUUUUUUKI SAKARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAAAAAAA!)"

MUSHI: "(Yuki looks primed and ready to go tonight. She’s tried to ignore Steve’s shenanigans, but ever since he has returned he has done nothing but hit her with cheap shots and insults. He cheated to win matches, attacked her family. I think the Dark Pulsar is finally sick of Steve’s garbage.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Yuki ruined Steve’s coronation! Don’t forget that!)"

MUSHI: "(That’s the least Steve Awesome deserves.)"

The camera cuts over to Steve Awesome, leaning non chalantly in his corner, Muttering things to Zelda Knite who stood by his side.

Fumio Daemura: "(And the opponent, weighing in at 232 pounds. Hailing from “anywhere other then RIGHT HERE IN SAPPORO, HOKKAIDO, JAPAN! He is the BEST IN SHOE! SHOE CO SHOEPERSTAR! He is the FACE OF THE FRANCHISE! STEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVEEE AWWWWWWWWWSOME!!!!!!!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Man just seeing Steve Awesome in the ring just gives me goosebumps. It’s a big match feel here tonight!)"

MUSHI: "(There he is. Former XCrown Champion. Flanked by his girlfriend Zelda Knite, after her involvement last month at “Like I’m Not Real” in the ladder match, you just know she is going to be a factor in this match!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Hey! Come on MUSHI, innocent until proven guilty. Zelda Knite hasn’t done anything wrong….tonight.)"

MUSHI: "(Well hopefully Yuki keeps an eye on her as the bell rings and this match gets underway.)"

You hear the bell sound and the ref calls for the start. Steve smirks and tells the seething Yuki to bring it! Yuki grits her teeth and she stomps in after Steve but Steve quickly drops down and powders out of the ring and to the floor.

MUSHI: "(Now what the hell is this? He tells her to bring it and then he rolls out of the ring?)"

Psycho KGB: "(He is getting advice from his manager!)"

Steve and Zelda share a few words. The ref yells at Steve to get back in the ring but Steve yells right back and tells the ref “shut up and count! I got till twenty!” The ref sighs and begins his count. Steve looks up at Yuki and taunts her from the outside. “We finish this out here! Let’s Go!”

MUSHI: "(Now he’s calling her outside of the ring?)"

Psycho KGB: "(Some battles just can’t be contained in a ring.)"

Yuki slides out of the ring after Steve but Steve quickly spins turns around the nearest turnbuckle and slides back into the ring. Steve pops up to his feet and laughs to himself and shouts out “Stupid Girl!”. Yuki is trying to stay calm and not pop a blood vessel but she is starting to get extremely irritated by Steve and his games.

Psycho KGB: "(I wonder if Steve Awesome is paying rent for that space he’s living in inside Yuki’s head. A master of mind games.)"

MUSHI: "(Mind games? To some people he’s running away like he’s scared.)"

Psycho KGB: "(If you think that you are an idiot!)"

Yuki is glaring a hole through Steve and she almost doesn’t see Zelda Knite sneaking up beside her! Just before Zelda gets close Yuki turns her head in Zelda’s direction and Zelda stops and puts her hands up acting like she wasnt doing anything. Yuki yells at Zelda meanwhile Steve is talking trash and the ref has counted to eleven.

MUSHI: "(There we see the Zelda factor coming into play.)"

Psycho KGB: "(She’s just checking on Yuki that’s all.)"

Yuki slides into the ring breaking the count. Steve sees her and he laughs out loud. “Okay Chump! It’s time to take you out!” Steve says as he cracks his knuckles and loosens up his neck. “I’m not gonna go easy on—OOF!!!” Yuki explodes into Steve with a stiff forearm right to the jaw. It staggers Awesome!”

MUSHI: "(Yuki blasting Steve down to one knee. She follows up with a right and a left palm strike and then a knee to the midsection. Yuki runs to the ropes looking for the lariat!!!)"

Psycho KGB: "(But Steve ducks it in time! And like the crafty veteran he is, he follows up with a back elbow to the face!)"

Steve looks to keep his offense going with a snap mare but Yuki rolls forward with the move and looks for a big rising uppercut! Steve just barely gets out of the way!

MUSHI: "(Woo, Steve certainly felt the wind from that strike that’s for sure.)"

Psycho KGB: "(He’s just displaying his lightning reflexes.)"

Steve shoots up and gets behind Yuki and starts trying to lock in his trusty cross face chicken wing but Yuki resists and manages to arm drag Steve forward. Steve turns around just in time to dive out of the way of a running knee strike! Steve looks pretty shocked at how close that came and he quickly scrambles to his feet. He goes after Yuki but she blocks his punch and nails him with one of her own. She adds three more in a quick combo. Yuki swings a fourth strike but Steve counters this one but Yuki ducks under the punch. Steve spins around into a standing drop kick. He stumbles back into the turnbuckle. Yuki comes running in and Steve tries to surprise her with a clothesline but she manages to duck underneath. Steve spins around again to see her hop on the first rope. He tries to hit her but misses when Yuki hops over to the second rope on the other side of the turnbuckle. Steve tries to shove her off but he just misses again. Next thing he knows Yuki is on the top rope on…

Steve Awesome instinctively rolls out of the ring and he falls to the floor at Zelda Knites feet. Yuki takes this opportunity to dive to the outside with a golden triangle moonsault! Steve is caught off guard as he gets hit with it!

MUSHI: "(And Yuki with a huge moonsault to the outside!)"

Psycho KGB: "(So much for the managerial advice from Zelda Knite.)"

Zelda backs away from the fight as Yuki grabs Steve by the hair and smashes his face into the guardrail. Steve staggers back and then Yuki nails him with a big roundhouse kick that staggers the Face of the Franchise and he stumbles further up the ramp. The referee is still counting but Yuki doesn’t seem to care! She grabs Steve by the head and smashes his head off the rim of the tar pool! Steve looks dazed and Yuki tries to shove his face in the tar but Steve immediately staggers back and away like a scalded dog.

MUSHI: "(Looks like the face of the franchise is afraid of that tar.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Wouldn’t you be? That tar is super hot to remain in that liquid form. It could cause serious burns!)"

MUSHI: "(Maybe Steve shouldn’t have suggested the stipulation if he was so afraid of it?)"

Steve is on his ass on the ramp shaking his head no about the tar. Yuki just shrugs and explodes into him with a running knee strike! Steve’s head bounces off the steel ramp and he goes right back to being out cold. Yuki picks him up and drags him back toward the ring. She tosses him in and slides in herself to break the ref count.

MUSHI: "(And now the refs count is broken. Steve Awesome climbing to his feet but on a wobbly foundation. That knee to the face really rocked the former XCrown champion. Yuki now, side kick to the knee followed by a palm thrust to the jaw. Yuki runs to the ropes big head scissor take down that sets Steve up in the ropes! Yuki runs in, OH big tiger feint kick finds its mark right in her rivals face!)"

Psycho KGB: "(She can’t hit him there! That’s the money maker for the Face of the Franchise.)"

MUSHI: "(Steve Awesome starts to pulling himself to his feet, unaware that Yuki is setting something up on the apron….and…..SPRINGBOARD DDT!!!!!!)"

Yuki launches off the top rope and flies in and drives Steve’s head into the mat. Steve lands head first, feet straight up in the air!

Yuki hooks the leg and the ref goes for the count. 1….2…..Steve shoots a shoulder up. But he’s got a far away look in his eye!

Steve looks dazed and confused but he drags himself to his feet and Yuki snaps him back to reality with a soul piercing chop to the chest. Steve’s face contorted like he just sucked on a warhead. Yuki follows up with a few more chops each one stinging more then the last and then a spinning back fist that sees Steve Awesome crumble to the mat like a dry bones in Mario. Yuki grabs at the leg and she starts setting up some type of leg submission hold but Steve instinctively kicks at Yuki and she lets go of the hold and backs away. Steve has just enough in him to dive out of the way of the incoming shining wizard attempt!

MUSHI: "(The look of fear in his eye of those running knees from Yuki is clear! You can tell he doesn't want another one of those!)"

Psycho KGB: "(That’s not a look of fear MUSHI! That’s a look of a crafty veteran in this business making a mental note!)"

MUSHI: "(Steve shakes his fear off and looks to capitalize on Yuki’s mistimed strike with the Awesome-Lock!)"

Psycho KGB: "(The classic cross face chicken wing. Same hold he used to choke out her cousin MUSHI! He’s going to do the same to her like he said he would! Well Yuki is struggling a bit but Steve will cinch it in.)"

MUSHI: "(Steve is fighting to lock the hold in but Yuki seems to have the hold scouted . She fires back with a couple elbow strikes and manages a standing switch! SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!)"

Steve Awesome again gets dumped right on his head and his neck! Steve is climbing to his knees holding his head and groaning in pain. “Oh god!! OH GOD!!!” Steve shouts as he looks over at Zelda, a pleading look of help in his eyes.

Psycho KGB: "(Zelda! You have to do something!)"

MUSHI: "(Zelda can’t save Steve from this move! The crowd roars in anticipation for DARK MATTER LARIAT!!! Dear God Steve Awesome got flipped over faster than my laundry on that one!)"

Psycho KGB: "(NOOOO!)"

MUSHI: "(Steve is out cold! Yuki comes in for the cover! One! Two!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Steve has the foot on the rope!)"

The ref stops the count because of Steve’s foot on the rope! He doesn’t seem to notice how suspiciously close Zelda Knite is to the situation.

MUSHI: "(Did she? I think she did. I think that sneaky woman put Steve’s foot on that rope.)"

Psycho KGB: "(I didn’t see anything and neither did the ref.)"

Yuki argues with the ref and with Zelda who swears she had nothing to do with it.

Yuki gets tired of arguing with Zelda and the ref and she goes after Steve but he nails her with a desperation head butt to the midsection. Yuki doubles over from the cheap shot. Steve fires back with a big raising uppercut sends the Dark Pulsar to the mat. Steve takes a moment to stabilize himself and shake off the cobwebs. Then he looks down at Yuki and smiles a devious grin.

Psycho KGB: "(Oh yeah. Now Steve Awesome is going to take control.)"

MUSHI: "(Steve grabs Yuki and-)"

CRACK!!!

MUSHI: "(OH MY!!! Yuki with an ABSOLUTELY BRUTAL ROARING UPPERCUT OF HER OWN!!!)"

The strike sends spit and blood flying out out of Steve’s mouth. Steve spins on his heel and starts to fall to his back but he winds up landing perfect onto Yuki’s shoulders! She sets him up and hoists him up into position for the burning hammer!! The whole crowd light up!

MUSHI: "(Yuki has him set up for the Black Hole Driver! If she hits this it’s all over!!!)"

Psycho KGB: "(No! Steve look out!!)"

Yuki roars with adrenaline and she goes to hit her finisher but Zelda Knite blatantly grabs Steve’s leg and pulls him off Yuki’s back and to safety. This time the ref sees everything and he goes and starts yelling at Zelda.

MUSHI: "(Oh for the love a-, Psycho did you see that clear display of interference from Zelda Knite?)"

Psycho KGB: "(I err uhhh- I’m pretty sure that was an accident.)"

MUSHI: "(Oh why do I even bother? That “accident” should get Steve Awesome disqualified but the ref knows Yuki doesn’t want to win it that way!)"

Yuki is yelling at Zelda again in this match. Yuki takes a swing at Zelda but Zelda dodges by hopping down off the apron.

Awesome shoots up to his feet but he runs right into a small package!! 1…..2…..he just barely breaks free of the pin. Yuki is back up to her feet and she runs to the ropes as Steve gets up to his feet. Steve swings for a clothesline but Yuki sucks under and around and latches on with a crucifix! She pulls Steve down into a pin! 1…..2….. Steve uses up more energy to kick out.

MUSHI: "(Yuki going for all these quick pins in the middle of the ring, where Zelda can’t reach.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Steve is trying to stop her but she is using her dirty and cheap speed advantage!
MUSHI: Steve swings a punch at Yuki but shes able to duck underneath. Yuki goes behind and she surprises Steve with a big rana that takes him down and she hooks the leg! ONE! TWO! Ugh again Steve kicks out.)"
Psycho KGB: "(Yuki running to the ropes, again and she dives up and over with a big sunset flip! The ref jumps over and goes for another count! ONE! Kickout! TWO! Steve? THRE-NO STEVE AWESOME JUST BARELY GETS THE SHOULDER UP AND SAVES HIS FREAKIN JOB!!! THANK THE LORD!!)"

Yuki goes to grab him again but Steve kicks and shoves her away and scrambled to the corner and glares at her.

Steve Awesome: STOP IT!!

Steve stomps and shouts.

Steve Awesome: STOP TRYING TO PIN ME SO DAMN MUCH!

Yuki just shrugs and comes in with a running forearm! Awesome takes it on the chin and he staggers over to the next turnbuckle to try and shake it off. Yuki shrugs again, gets the crowd fired up and she comes running in but Steve moves out of the way at the last second and Yuki collides face first with the….exposed metal turnbuckle!? Yuki hits the mat hard as she clutches her head in pure agony.

MUSHI: "(What the hell!? How the hell did that damn turnbuckle pad come off?)"

Psycho KGB: "(I have no idea. But did you see the way Yuki rammed right into it head first? That was awesome!)"

MUSHI: "(Well I have a hunch. And her name is Zelda Knite!)"

Psycho KGB: "(But Zelda is all the way on the other side of the ring. How could she possibly have anything to do with this mystery? Did you even see Zelda do it?)"

MUSHI: "(No. But I know damn well that sneaky little witch had something to do with it. She must have done it while we were paying attention to the damn match. And now Yuki Sakaraba, trying her best to climb to her feet, a big open cut right above her right eye. Her face already a crimson mask. And OH MY!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Steve Awesome connects with a picture perfect jaw breaker superkick that sends Yuki straight back down to the mat.)"

Steve Awesome stumbles around a bit and wipes his hair and sweat out of his face. He looks down at the bloodied Yuki on the mat and he smiles a devilish grin as he takes control of the match. Yuki tries to push up into all fours but Steve runs up and boots her right in the gut! She collapses to ground coughing and holding her stomach blood staining the mat where she lay.

Psycho KGB: "(Oh yeah. The end is near for Yuki Sakaraba.)"

Steve Awesome indeed struts over to Yuki and he quickly loads her up between his legs. He does a quick crotch chop before he lifts her up sends her back down with a whiplash effect with a snap powerbomb. Steve bridges her legs far back and he acts as provocatively as you’d imagine he would in said position. The ref slides in to count. 1…..2….Yuki manages to explode her way out of the pin! Steve is a bit surprised but he nods his head, giving a little bit off credit to his opponent. “Okay…okay….but now it’s time to end this!” Steve grabs Yuki up and he loads her up onto his shoulders. Yuki fires off an elbow that staggers Steve. Then another that loosens Steve’s grip.

MUSHI: "(Yuki escapes out the back door!)"

Psycho KGB: "(That slippery little harlot!)"

Yuki takes a second to wipe the blood from her eyes and she grabs at Steve for some type of suplex but the Shoeperstar blocks with an elbow of his own. He tries to spin around and throw a punch but Yuki ducks underneath and runs to the ropes. She comes running back and clocks the face of the franchise with a running forearm. The strike staggers Steve. Yuki goes running back to the ropes and she nails Steve with another strike. The crowd gets fired up as Yuki runs again but this time Zelda Knite grabs an ankle and Yuki falls flat on her face! After a couple seconds Yuki shoots back up to her feet just glaring a hole into Zelda. Zelda just plays up the “I’m innocent” role.

MUSHI: "(Damn that Zelda. Yuki is out here practically taking on two people!)"

Psycho KGB: "(And she probably shouldn’t have taken her eyes off Steve Awesome!)"

Steve runs up, pops her up onto his shoulder and he spins her out into the stunner!

Yuki flops to the ground like a rag doll.

Psycho KGB: "(Goodbye Yuki Sakaraba. You are about to get tarred and feathered and then we will never see you again.)"

Steve crawls over for the pin. The ref gets in position.

1…..

Steve reaches back and hooks the leg.

2……..

He pulls the leg in as far as he can.

3-no KICKOUT!

Yuki just barely manages to kick out of the pin and Steve Awesome has a look of utter disbelief.

Steve Awesome is slapping and punching the mat and shouting at Zelda. “THE HELL IS GOING ON!? I SHOULD BE WINNING DAMN IT!!!” Zelda just shrugs her shoulders and just tries to keep him calm.

Fumio Daemura: "(Twenty minutes of this match have passed. Ten minutes remain.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Say, what happens if this match goes to a time limit draw? Do they both stay? Do they both leave?)"

MUSHI: "(Well? I don’t know. I sure hope it doesn’t come down to that as this match falls into its final innings.)"

Steve, showing signs of frustration, he curses under her breath as he grabs Yuki but Yuki still shows signs of life as she buries some punches into the abdomen of Steve. She gets enough strength to dart off toward the ropes! Steve runs the opposite way. Yuki goes for a leap frog but Steve was expecting it and he stops just short. Yuki lands in front of Steve and he just hauls off and bitch slaps her right across the face! The strike spins her around and Steve starts looking for the Awesome-Lock.

Yuki tries to fight it but eventually Steve manages to lock it in. Just like the hold he had on Yuki’s cousin who got choked out.

Yuki struggles and reaches for the ropes to break the hold. The ref asking her if she wants to give up. Steve drags her back a bit but Yuki doesn’t stop fighting. Yuki digs down deep and reaches for the ropes one last time! Just when Yuki is about to grab the middle rope and escape, Zelda Knite is there to pull the rope back so it’s just out of reach! Yuki yells out and the ref turns but Zelda lets go just in time and Steve Awesome is able to drag Yuki back to the middle of the ring.

Yuki tries to find a way out but Awesome lifts her up off the ground for a few minutes with the hold. Yuki thinks about tapping and in a last ditch effort she rears back and stomps on his foot and back kicks him in the shin. This gives her just enough movement to run toward the corner. Yuki kicks off the turnbuckle and she’s her momentum to fall back onto Steve into a pinning predicament!

Steve gets let’s go of the hold and kicks out just in time! He pokes his head up and looks at the ref, double checking if he kicked out or not. The ref confirms and Steve takes a sigh of relief. Steve crawls over to Zelda Knite who is still standing on the apron and he starts to try to regroup.

MUSHI: "(Steve Awesome, on his hands and knees, crawling over to Zelda Knite.)"

Psycho KGB: "(That’s what two people in love do, MUSHI! They depend on one another.)"

MUSHI: "(Well I think Steve is depending on Zelda in this match a little too much!)"

Yuki coughs and sputters and she stumbles toward Steve and Zelda. She heaves a couple times and then she HURLS BLACK MIST! but Steve ducked! And it gets all over Zelda Knite!!

Zelda falls down to the floor and she starts writing around in pain gripping at her eyes!

Zelda Knite: AHHH MY EYES!!! NO FAIR! IM NOT EVEN IN THE MATCH!!!! WAHHHHHH!!!!

Yuki looks on in surprise and then pure satisfaction as medics rush to the aid of Zelda Knite and help escort her out of the arena. She turns around just in time for Steve Awesome to suddenly hoist her up and drop her with another vicious SteveKO!

MUSHI: "(Just when Yuki thought she had time to celebrate, Steve Awesome takes advantage of one last distraction from Zelda Knite with a voracious SteveKO.)"

Psycho KGB: "(I’ve been saying all along, she can’t take her eyes off the Face of the Franchise. My words are going to haunt her mind when she can never wrestle in this ring again.)"

MUSHI: "(And Steve hooks both legs. One….)"

Steve Awesome grabs a handful of tights.

MUSHI: "(NO NOT THIS WAY! THRENOOOOOOOOO!!!! YUKI GETS THE SHOULDER UP AND STEVE AWESOME IS HAVING A MID LIFE CRISIS!!)"

Yuki lays motionless in the ring and Steve lays next to her. He is wide eyed and bewildered as he stares up at the lights. He’s muttering things to himself and it looks like he’s doing some type of math with his hands. He doesn’t know what to do and he’s run out of ideas. Suddenly the ring announcer steps up again.

Fumio Deamura: "(Twenty Five Minutes of this match has passed. FIVE MINUTES REMAIN.)"

Steve Awesome glances up at the timer and then at Yuki and suddenly it was like a light bulb went off in his head. He grows a devious smile and starts pulling himself up to his feet. He starts pulling Yuki up to her feet and she suddenly comes to life and breaks loose! Yuki just unleashes a flurry of strikes! Right, left, forearm, elbow, kick to the leg, kick to the ribs, chop, chop, chop to the face, followed up by a huge raising knee to the face!!

Steve staggers back against the ropes and shakes off the strike. He wipes the blood off his lip and glares at Yuki. “Okay, now it’s my turn you stupid bitch!” Steve stomps forward to throw some hands but he just takes two steps and flops to the mat like a knapsack.

Yuki roars to the crowd and she comes after Steve but he reaches up, grabs her by the tights and sends her flying forward and she gets caught throat first into top rope! Yuki gasps for air and Steve takes this moment to grab her up into a powerbomb position and he hits a RUNNING BUCKLE BOMB TO THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! Yuki’s head and neck reluctantly collide with the exposed steel buckle and she collapses to the mat in a heap.

Steve Awesome stumbles over to Yuki’s prone body and like a sleazy mobster on a bridge, Steve dumps Yukis lifeless body over the top rope and to the floor below. Steve Awesome looks up at the match timer and then at the ref and he just yells at the ref to count her out and then he falls to the mat. The ref shrugs his shoulders and starts doing his job. The ref starts his counts. ONE!!!

Steve Awesome uses the ropes to pull himself up to his feet and he motions to the ref to count faster. The ref yells out FIVE!!! Yuki tries to move but her back and neck send spasms through her body and she collapses in pain. Steve sees this and smirks as he leans against the exposed turnbuckle and rests up a bit.

MUSHI: "(Oh yeah, I bet he feels proud of himself. He thinks he’s got a real great idea winning by count out.)"

Psycho KGB: "(The rules are there for a reason MUSHI. You are usually a stickler for the rules. If Yuki can’t answer the twenty count then she deserves to lose.)"

As the ref yells out TEN, Yuki starts to try to move again. Yuki is still feeling the effects of hitting that steel turnbuckle but she bites her lip and summons the strength to push herself up. The ref yells out THIRTEEN as Yuki pulls herself up and leans on the mat. Steve looks at her and just rolls his eyes and lets out an indignant huff.

The ref yells out EIGHTEEN as Yuki finally grits her teeth and gets her leg up on the apron and she rolls into the ring and she breaks the count. Steve Awesome sighs.

Fumio Daemura: "(TWO MINUTES REMAIN IN THIS MATCH.)"

Steve Awesome hears this and he gets into fighting stance as Yuki pulls herself up to keep fighting.

Psycho KGB: "(Did we ever get word on what happens if they go to a time limit draw?)"

MUSHI: "(I have not received an official word yet. But they are cutting it close.)"

Yuki climbs up to her feet and she starts to go after Steve Awesome but he just shrugs and rolls out of the ring. He looks up at Yuki and smirks. He glances over at the match timer then at the ref and yells out that he’s got till twenty!

MUSHI: "(Two minutes remaining and he wants to play these shenanigans just like he did early in this match. This time no Zelda Knite anymore to get “Advice” from. We aren’t even sure what happens in a draw but Steve Awesome is game to soak up the rest of the time and find out rather then try to win.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Yuki is so resilient. She’s been dead in the water for half this match but she won’t die. Then fine! Steve will just drag her down with him anyway.)"

Yuki takes a second to catch her breath, understandably a bit hesitant to go back to the outside after how tough it was to get back in. But Steve is still taunting her and daring her to go. Yuki takes a deep breath, grabs at her back and starts to roll to the outside. Steve plays his same trick from earlier and he quickly rolls back into the ring. He laughs at how clever he is and he shouts out “STUPID!” But Yuki didn’t actually go all the way out of the ring. Steve turns around in shock that she’s there but she suddenly eats a Jawbreaker Superkick!!! Yuki falls straight down to the mat.

MUSHI: "(With one minute remaining Steve Awesome nails the superkick.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Now he’s calling for the end.)"

Steve takes his time and climbs up to the top tunbuckle. He takes a second to wipe the sweat and hair out of his face. He leaps off with a MOONSAULT DOUBLE FOOT STOMP!!!

MUSHI: "(The double foot stomp just caved Yuki’s chest in!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Steve calls that the Wrath of the Dragon and it just turned Yuki from an A to an A minus if you know what I mean!)"

Steve Awesome hooks the leg and the ref goes to count. 1…..2…..No Yuki gets a foot on the ropes. Steve is absolutely beside himself!

Psycho KGB: "(How did she do that?)"

MUSHI: "(At around half a minute remaining, Yuki still finds a way to survive! Steve Awesome is practically pulling out his hair! )"

Steve Awesome: FINE THEN!!!

Steve says as he yanks Yuki up to her feet, looks at the match timer down to seconds and the outside of the ring.

Steve Awesome: We can both lose then!!!

Steve goes to dump Yuki to the outside but she throws a knee that hits him pretty low! Steve’s jaw drops and his eyes cross as he squeaks in pain!

Psycho KGB: "(HEY SHE CANT KICK HIM THERE!)"

MUSHI: "(Looked legal to me. Yuki now, she grabs Steve by the head and she BASHES HIS HEAD OFF THE EXPOSED TURNBUCKLE! Yes!!!!!)"

Psycho KGB: "(NO! Ref that’s a damn disqualification!!)"

MUSHI: "(Yuki now, as the final seconds of this match drip away, she climbs up to the top rope.)"

Psycho KGB: "(She’s gonna fall!)"

MUSHI: "(no! She stabilizes herself. It’s the final ten seconds!!!! And OH MY GOD!!! That’s that’s a Chimamire no tsuki in a Mass Extinction!)"

Yuki leaps off the top rope and nails a DOUBLE ROTATION MOONSAULT INTO A DOUBLE FOOTSTOMP OF HER OWN!!!!

MUSHI: "(COVER! COVER!!!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Please no!)"

The ref slides in for the cover as the timer ticks down.

One!!!!!!


Two!!!!!!!!!!!


ThrBUZZZZeee!!!!!!

MUSHI: "(She got it! Yuki did it!)"

Psycho KGB: "(I don’t think she got it. The match buzzer just rang)"

The ring announcer looks at the time keeper. The time keeper looks at the referee. The referee looks down at the Yuki still hooking the leg. The ref raises his arm nods and points to Yuki!

MUSHI: "(Yuki Sakaraba did it! She is the winner of the match!!)"

Fumio Daemura: "(Here is your winner….YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKI SAKARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABAAAAAAAAAA!!!)"

The ref raises Yuki’s arm up and she starts to come too and she starts crying tears of joy.

MUSHI: "(After a thirty minute war, after all the torment and ridicule that Steve put her and her family through Yuki Sakaraba pulled through and earned the victory. And you know what that means right Psycho?)"

Psycho KGB: "(No, I don’t want to hear it.)"

MUSHI: "(It’s means Steve Awesome lost. And you know what that means right?)"

Psycho KGB: "(No! Don’t say it!)"

MUSHI: "(It means Steve Awesome gets tarred and feathered on his way out of J-Rok forever!)"

Psycho KGB: "(You wouldn’t dare!)"

Yuki is right on it as she starts dragging out cold Steve up the ramp and toward the big tub of tar.

Psycho KGB: "(You can’t do this! You can’t treat the Shoeperstar this way! Someone stop this!)"

Yuki struggles a bit but she drags Steve to the vat, she hoists him up and Steve comes to just as his face is inches from the black goo. Steve flies back as if he just saw a ghost and tries to run away but the big feather bag rips open and Steve falls on his ass as feathers engulf him. Steve runs out of the arena with feathers sticking in his hair and to his sweaty body! The ref runs up and raises Yuki’s arm again but she pulls it away and takes off running after Steve.

Psycho KGB: "(No! I can’t believe this is the last time I get to call a Steve Awesome match! Thanks a lot, Yuki!)"

MUSHI: "(Yuki Sakaraba has done it! She has won and now we never have to see him in a J-Rok ring again!)"

---

MUSHI: “(Our next match you wouldn’t believe even if we told you. Lucky for you we don’t have to tell you about it and you can see it with your own eyes. Starting back in 2018, these two men, no these monsters have battled it out in increasingly more insane and larger matches.)”

Psycho KGB: “(Starting off with a Kaiju Death Match they battled in the streets of Tokyo, there the demon took the first fall. The next year it was a milk way deathmatch where by the end the demon’s hunger had grown and he began trying to eat the audience members! The alien took him down for long enough though. Now though?)”

MUSHI: “(Now these beasts face off for what could be the final time these two face. Now these two beings transcend into the vastness of space to have a clash of the titans in a Super Galactic Big Bang Death Match! I’m not sure what we’ll see folks, so if you have children watching… why do you have children watching such a violent show?)”

Psycho KGB: “(Anyways, if you have a heart that can’t take excessive violence or the possibility of seeing a living being die… then turn your screens to something else for a few minutes. Because this isn’t a wrestling match anymore… This is a battle to the death!)”

We don’t get any special intros to this one. There’s an alien who’s committed mass genocide in search for those who had slain his people and then there’s a fat ass demon who’ll literally eat the universe if given the chance. The two are in an unknown part of the universe, the planets look like basketballs or pebbles in comparison to these behemoths. Ultra Kira is in his pissed off emo mood like always while Dreadvan is probably confused as to how he got here and is really hungry after the long journey.

He does look awful hungry as he grabs a planet nearby and shoves it in his gullet. Needed more salt probably, because he went for a different one. This one was small so he threw it at Kira. He ducked out the way and charged the demon. He’d hit him head first with a vicious headbutt he calls the Ultra Zudzuki!

Dreadvan backs up a few steps before grabbing the alien by the arm and slinging him into a far off planet. Kira crashes into it, before getting up and whirling his arms around. He starts collecting nebulas and other space stuff before he whips his arms towards the demon.

It goes flying towards him as he opens his mouth wide and sorta just eats it. He burbs before pounding his chest and grabbing a handful of stars he eats them too before running towards Ultra! Ultra gets clobbered with the flying flubber forearm of the ferocious demon! Ultra flips a few times before flying off into a meteor belt.

He grabs some before trying to throw them at Dreadvan, but they hit him and just bounce off and right back at Ultra! He makes an “X” shape with his arms before blue energy appears around his hands. He slices the rocks in half before naruto running towards Dreadvan. He lets out a scream before dredavan grabs him and hits him with the demon’s pit impaler ddt! Not sure where or how he hit something other than space but just roll with it! Dreadvan grabs him by his head before Ultra tries to punch him. He grabs his arm and twists it before flinging him far away.

Kira’s had enough of this bullshit and readies up his ultimate attack, the Supashiumu Kousen! He gets his arms into a cross shape before screaming out a “Shuwa” and shooting a powerful laser at the demon. Dread opens his mouth and consumes it before shaking a bit and standing still. He begins to tremble before being frozen.

Just as Ultra thought he had the match won Dread’s fingers would begin to wiggle. His hand would move as would his arm. The demon can’t be defeated by such a move. Not when he seemingly has a blackhole for a stomach! He eats more while chucking a moon at Ultra.

Ultra is numb. He’s furious and confused. How could his ultimate technique not work?! How could it fail?! He screams again this time charging with a Shining~Ultra! Shining wizardo! Dread catches it with his mouth and bites off his leg! Green blood splatters everywhere as Kira screams in pain and agony. He unleashes a red aurora surrounding his hand making a blade. He tries to hack at the demon but to no use. For the demon can not be harmed by such pitiful attacks.

Dreadvan does begin to bleed a black substance though. He finally shows the first signs of an emotion other than boredom or hunger in this match as he stomps on Ultra’s hand and rips his arm off and eats it too. He grabs Ultra himself now, opening his mouth as wide as a car, he shoves him into it as he slowly begins to devour the alien.

After this we see darkness… nothing but a black abyss. Then after a few minutes we see two yellow eyes turn blood red. We see a faint light now as the outline of Ultra Kira is seen. His missing arm and leg are still gone. His body begins to contourt and convulse as spikes begin to pierce out of his back and arms. The point on his head starts to grow as spikes grow out of his head as well. His teeth begin to look like that of a shark. Soon after a white light emits from him.

It becomes blinding as we cut to seeing Dreadvan. His belly starts to bubble up as he convulses. His eyes start to glow white as does his mouth. Soon we see fingers out of his mouth and quickly after an arm. Ultra tires to claw his way out of dread! Dread bites back down biting his other arm off.

Ultra screams more as the light glows even brighter. We start to see things being sucked in and blown out as the universe itself beings to stretch and shrink. Everything soon expands to nothingness and quickly shrinks back in on itself. We then see a single bright light floating…

It’s Ultra Kira surrounded by what looks like food and planets. His arms and legs floating around him as well. He begins to sob to himself as a wail soon follows.

Psycho KGB: “(I don’t see Dreadvan anywhere…)”

MUSHI: “(I think that means Ultra Kira won…)”

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of this match… Ultra Kira!)”

Psycho KGB: “(He’s won… but at what cost?)”

We cut back to see Dreadvan stumbling, the white light has subsided as he stumbles, he lets out a wail that sounds an awful like…

MUSHI: “(Was that Ultra’s voice coming from Dreadvan?)”

Psycho KGB: “(Yes… i think so…)”

---

As we return from a commercial break following the last match, the arena lights dim down. 

Psycho KGB: “(What is this, we are not expecting the next match to begin so soon.)”

MUSHI: “(I do not think this is the next match, this feels like something different.”

The lights stay dimmed, causing excitement and reactions from the crowd. Slowly but surely the screen comes on, to show nothing but static. As the fizzing screen continues, some shapes begin to appear in the haze, a face. A woman's face. 

“Long have I fought and battled for this place. Through the Stampede, through the Warzone, and now through the Renaissance.” 

Her voice is unmistakable, and as she speaks we see her more clearly. The XHF Women’s Champion, Bodhi. 

“I was your first champion, your Goddess. I brought the IJWF tag team belts to J-ROK, and now I reign supreme as your XHF Women’s Champion.” 

Her words are distorted, almost robotic in how they sound. 

“I have defeated lesser evils, and conquered bigger mountains. I have stood the test of time against the gauntlet.” 

The screen becomes more erratic, with the static turning into full distortion. The speakers fizzle in tandem with the distortion on screen. 

“I have stood tall against the winds of change, against the storm of transition. From day one to the grand finale… I will be your champion. I will be your goddess. I will be your warrior.” 

Once more the screen distorts heavily, and quickly goes black. 

“I am YOUR Champion.” 

The screen fully goes off, and the arena lights return to normal level again, leaving the crowd in mixed reactions. 

MUSHI: “(Some big words from our XHF Women’s Champion! It sounds like she means business tonight, and is setting the bar for Yurei to match.)”

Psycho KGB: “(Bodhi has been with us since day one, and she has shown herself to be a formidable opponent for anyone in the ring with her. From solo to tagging up she’s been a dominant figure, but those actions have put a target on her head. A target which the roster are looking to reclaim now.)”

MUSHI: “(Very true. Only one thing is for certain, Bodhi is going to have to work hard to keep her throne. Everybody wants to be the top of the food chain, and she needs to be on her best to hold her spot. I’m a big time Bodhi fan, so I hope she can hold out for longer!)”

Psycho KGB: “(Well J-ROK is lucky to have her as their champion, and the XHF too. Tonight, Bodhi and Yurei face off for the big belt and I can say it with confidence… it is going to be a war!)”

---

MUSHI: “(We’ve had quiet the show so far folks, but as they’re removing the mat from the ring, we’ll go over this match for you.)”

Psycho KGB: “(This match will take place with no mats or padding on the ring, nor no aprons around it. Just the hard boards and four glass panes in each corner. All weapons are legal as it’s a death match, and the only way to win is by pinfall, submission or knock out.)”

MUSHI: “(This is going to be a tough match for both women going into this thing though. YUREI making her debut onto the biggest stage in J-ROK, and Bodhi being undefeated in her previous appearances, Even winning the very first main event in 2017 against bitter rival Sakura Hase.)”

Psycho KGB: “(The history is there, but we’ll see if it repeats itself tonight.)”

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is a no mat glass panes death match! And is set for one fall at a sixty minute time limit! Introducing first, in the blue corner she is the challenger! Standing in at 5’1 and a half inches tall… weighing in at 119 pounds, coming from Yokohama, Japan… she is… The Ghost of Japan YUREI!)”

The fans boo YUREI as she steps up when her name is called.

Fumio Daemura: “(And her opponent… in the red corner, standing in at 5’9 and weighing in at 127 pounds… from Ohio, USA… she is the REIGNING DEFENDING XHF Women’s Champion of the world! She is… Ghost Queen… Bodhi!)”

The fans give a mixed reaction to Bodhi as she steps up when her name is called.

The bell rings as the match begins! Both women take a slow approach as to not get hit into the glass panes or onto the hard wooden boards. Bodhi would end that soon after, and go for a superman punch. YUREI would dodge it and go for a superkick. That would be caught and transitioned into a german suplex onto the unforgiving wooden boards.

Psycho KGB: “(In this match, it doesn’t matter where you are or where you land it’s going to hurt like hell!)”

Bodhi lifts up YUREI and slaps her in the face. She lifts her up to her feet before driving in a forearm and chop combo. YUREI ducks one and lays into her with some chops of her own, lighting up Bodhi’s chest! She goes for a sidekick that’s blocked. Bodhi goes for a leg sweep that’s jumped over, but she keeps hold of the leg and gets behind her with a saito suplex. YUREI stops it though and spins through for a crossbody.

She lifts up her opponent and throws her into the corner. Bodhi’s back against the glass pane now, YUREI rushes towards her with that devastating helluva kick she calls the suppressor. Bodhi crashes through the glass and into the corner as the crowd gasps at the sight of the glass breaking and blood emerges. She rolls her over away from the ropes and goes for the quick pin.

ONE!

TW-

Bodhi kicks out as we see her white hair turn crimson. YUREI doesn’t let up as she starts stomping on her opponent, she misses one and Bodhi trips her up. She uses this as an opportunity to get back up and kicks her in the face for her trouble. Catching herself for a moment she keeps up the offence. She hits a scissors kick before rolling out of the ring to look under it. She grabs a handful of chairs before throwing them in, keeping one in hand.

Bodhi rolls in and bashes YUREI in the head before slamming her onto the pile of chairs. She picks her up again, but eats some punches to the gut. Bodhi backs up towards another corner before YUREI charges towards her, looking for another Suppressor. Bodhi catches her in a t-bone suplex and slams her hard into the glass pane.

Psycho KGB: “(This is the ultra violence i love! Give us more! MORE!)”

MUSHI: “(Control yourself Psycho-San! Besides there’s a pin! One! T- not even a two on that one!)”

Psycho KGB: “(Both ladies up again but you have to wonder how much more they’re willing to take?)”

MUSHI: “(For the most prestigious women’s championship in the network? I’m sure they’ll do a whole lot!)”

When we cut back to the action YUREI has grabbed a glass shard and is overtop Bodhi, she shoves it into her head and carves her forehead with the glass! She tries to go for her eye, but Bodhi stops her and punches her in the face!

Both get up to their feet, bleeding all over by now. YUREI goes for another jab with the glass before Bodhi dodges it and goes for a superkick. YUREI catches it and drives her knee into the boards. She sets up some chairs before putting a glass pane over them. She hits Bodhi some more before putting her on top of the glass pane.

YUREI climbs to the top and dives off with a moonsault double footstomp…

Psycho KGB: “(HOLY SHIT SHE HIT BODHI WITH THE FALLEN ANGEL THROUGH THE GLASS!)”

She goes for the pin…

ONE!

TWO!

THREE

No somehow Bodhi kicks out! Somehow she still hasn’t had enough!

YUREI like everyone else can’t believe it! She curses at the referee and demands it was a three. The ref says no it was only a two. She lifts up some boards from the ring and pushes them aside. She grabs the final glass pane and puts it over the hole that she now created.

She picks up one of the boards and swings towards Bodhi, she dodges it and YUREI swings again, she jumps over it and hits her with a queens call buzzsaw kick!

ONE!

TWO!

THRE-

No it’s another kick out! YUREI rolls her up for a pin herself and gets a two, both get back up to their before they head towards the glass pane that's over the hole in the ring. YUREI goes for her howling moon tiger driver ‘98, but Bodhi stops it. She get s YUREI up with a powerbomb, but YUREI rolls over for a canadian destroyer onto the wooden ring! She goes up to the top after a few minutes, but Bodhi stops her and climbs up also.

They fight back and forth. YUREI goes for a howling moon again, but can’t get much. Bodhi goes for a suplex but is stopped herself. They keep trying to get something, but nothing gives till Bodhi gets her with a top rope brainbuster!

MUSHI: “(HOLY SHIT! BODHI WITH THE BRAINBUSTER THROUGH THE GLASS AND ONTO THE CONCRETE UNDER THE RING! BOTH WOMEN HAVE TO BE DEAD! THEY JUST…)”

Psycho KGB: “(I DON’T KNOW WHAT’S HAPPENING BUT THESE WOMEN PUT IT ALL ON THE LINE! NO WAY THIS CAN CONTINUE!)”

The ref begins to count as both women are down!

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

FOUR!

FIVE!

SIX!

SEVEN!

EIGHT!

MUSHI: “(What’s that?!)”

Psycho KGB: “(That’s a hand!)”

NINE!

MUSHI: “(Bodhi! That’s Bodhi! She’s managed to get up, just barely… she’s getting up to her feet…)”

TEN!

Psycho KGB: “(She’s up in time! She did it!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of this match and STILL XHF Women’s Champion… Bodhi!)”

Psycho KGB: “(The finals for the J-ROK Trios Titles is up next. Both teams went up against stiff competition last week, but tonight they face the stiffest competition yet. With Death Startling being one of the favorites going into this match, The Brother’s Swann and Deco have their work cut out for them.)”

MUSHI: “(Don’t cut them short Psycho, they’ve proven to be a real dark horse in this tournament. Both teams have a real good chance to win the titles tonight and become the first ever Trios champions in J-ROK history!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is set for one fall! And is the finals of the J-ROK Trios Title Tournament for the J-ROK Trios Titles… Introducing first in the blue corner… The team of Lisa Seldon, Anna Daniels, and Fukushima Zombie… Death Startling!)”

They step up when their names are called and the fans cheer.

Fumio Daemura: “(And their opponents from the red corner… they are the team of Zak and Lucas Swann and Deco!)”

Zak and Anna start things off for their respective teams as this match begins. Zak has his guard up as Daniels charges towards him. They both think of the same thing as we see two big boots from both competitors. They go straight for some chops and kick combos, hitting some and blocking others. Zak would hit her with a v-trigger and she’d respond with a handspring elbow before both would roll out of the ring and two fresh wrestlers would get in.

Lisa and Lucas to be exact, they’d both come in like a house of fire with lots of running back and forth and going for moves while the other would dodge. Lucas would grab Lisa and irish whip her into the ropes. She’d jump over them and knock down Deco while springboarding off the top for a Killa-ca-rana spike hurricarana, but Swann catches it and lifts her back up for a powerbomb, Lisa spins around into a headscissors until she gets in position for an arm drag, she lands that as Swann rolls out of the ring and she follows with a no hand asai moonsault to the outside she calls the Black Horse Riding Star.

Fukushima and Deco come in now with the action not letting up for a minute in this one. Deco goes for a lariat, but it’s big booted by Zombie. Deco goes for another strike and hits it this time. Zombie goes down for a moment, but pops up yet again to hit a kip up frankensteiner. Deco rolls out to apron before Zombie rushes towards her with another frankensteiner. Deco holds onto the ropes and stops it before dropping off the arpon with a brutal powerbomb to Zombie on the apron.

Psycho KGB: “(What a counter by Deco! Zombie is gonna be hurting for weeks after that one!)”

MUSHI: “(Oh and here comes Seldon back into the ring!)”

Deco and Lisa in the ring now, they go for some high flying moves. Lisa goes for a rana, but Deco cartwheels out of it. Deco goes for a european uppercut, but it’s caught into a backslide driver and a pin attempt. The first pin fall attempt of the match would get a one though. Lucas would run in to help his partner as Deco would roll onto her feet and hit a kicking combo onto Seldon.

Daniels would get back into the match and take out Swann and Deco with a double hurricarana. Zakk would come into the ring soon after and hit her with a flying headscissors. He’d get her back up and go for a suplex. She’d drop down to a knee to stop it before Lisa would come in to help her go for a suplex of their own. Then Lucas would come in, soon after Deco and Fukushima would join in for a big six person suplex!

Psycho KGB: “(OH! A HUGE TRIPLE SUPLEX FROM DEATH STARTLING!)”

MUSHI: “(The Swann’s and Deco to the outside now. What’s this?! SPACEMAN QUEDORA FROM DANIELS! TOPE CON HILO FROM ZOMBIE AND ANOTHER ASAII MOONSAULT FROM SELDON!)”

Zombie and Zakk can be seen fighting on the outside as well as Daniels and Deco. Lucas and Lisa get back into the ring and continue trading moves with one another. Lisa would go for another Black horse riding star, but Swann would move out of the way, having her eat canvass. She’d bounce off the mat before getting kicked in the gut and meeting a shooting star press from Swann shortly afterwards. Another pin attempt, it’d be broken up by Daniels.

Daniels and Seldon hit him with the Badger Dance combo. A yakuza kick/leg sweep combo. Lisa goes for the pin before it’s broken up by Zakk. They fight each other to the outside before Zombie and Deco get into the ring again. We’d see Fukushima get the advantage after a well placed super kick to Deco. Deco goes to the outside. Dodo-A-Gogo team up on her for a short bit before the Brother’s get a come back.

Deco and Zakk take out Lisa and Anna before turning their attention to Zombie. They get her into an electric chair position. Deco hits a crossbody on Anna to the outside. Lucas hits Lisa, who’s on the apron now and preparing to stop Zakk, with a hurricarana, who is flipped into hitting a hurricarana onto Fukushima as well! Zakk throws Seldon back into the ring as Lucas gets ready to hit her with the pure stardom ripcord v trigger. The cover and count…

ONE!

TWO!

THREE!

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winners of this match and NEEEEEEEEEEW J-ROK Trios Champions… The Brother’s Swann & Deco!)”

Psycho KGB: “(They did it! After all the odds stacked against them, they won the trios titles!)”

MUSHI: “(We have an assistant of the owner coming out to give them the titles and to take part in the champions ceremony tonight. I wonder where the owner’s been?)”

Psycho KGB: “(There’s still time for him to show.)”

The champs celebrate in the ring.

MUSHI: “(These two fought once before in singles competition facing off at the Third Anniversary show October 28th. Harding won that match two falls to one. Wolfgang did prove she could pin the champion that night, but can she get him again tonight?)”

Psycho KGB: “(Honestly, i don’t if she can. Sure she’s been on a hot streak lately, but Harding has as well. He even went on to beat the longest reigning New Wave champion in history, Momoko Honda!)”

MUSHI: “(That he has, and tonight? He has his biggest challenge yet in a stable of J-ROK, the falls count anywhere match! Sure they’re everywhere, but nowhere else does them quite like us!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is set for one fall and is a falls count anywhere match for the J-ROK New Wave Championship! Introducing first, in the red corner, she is the challenger… standing in at 5’0 and 105 pounds… coming from the Northern Mountains she is Wolf Fang Ayame!)”

She does a cool pose and roars as her name is called.

Fumio Daemura: “(And introducing next… in the blue corner… Standing in at 6’2 and weighing in at 222 pounds coming from Camden, London, England… he is the REIGNING DEFENDING J-ROK New Wave Champion… He is “Dr.Zen” Brendan Harding!)”

He lifts up his title into the air as the fans cheer.

The bell rings and both competitors start things off with intensity! Ayame dropkicks Harding into the second ring that’s going to be used for the main event later in the night. Wolf Fang springboards from one set of ropes to another before leaping towards her opponent with a meteora. They both roll onto their feet as Ayame charges him again, Harding catches her and suplexes her onto the mat. He throws her out of the ring before running the ropes and hitting her with a Thanx Cannon torpedo moscow through the ropes and onto the outside!

Harding gets back up and whips Ayame into the barricade. She flips over them gut first as we hear a groan. We see Harding charging her again but this time Wolf Fang scouts it and moves out of the way! Brendan crashes into a pile of chairs soon after. Wolf hits him with a senton. Soon Harding gets up and they continue to brawl into the crowd and out into the entrance of the building.

Harding whips Ayame into a desk. She jumps up and lands on top of it before jumping back off with a moonsault. Harding catches her and tries to flip her into a suplex position, she uses the momentum to keep it going and hits a tornado ddt instead right onto the hard floor! Wolf grabs a christmas tree that’s still up and wacks Brendan with it. She picks him up again and throws him into the glass door.

Soon we see her run towards him and hit a crossbody on him through the door! They roll out and she goes for a pin. A one for her troubles as he gets up to his feet. He slams down Wolf with a power slam before dragging her over to a bench. He suplexes her onto the bench before he starts to wander off down the road.

Wolf follows him shortly after, trudging along through the snow. We see Harding a little bit ahead of her leaning on a table outside. He grabs one of the cheap plastic chairs nearby and smashes it across the head of Wolf Fang as she gets closer. She stumbles back as shards of colorful plastic sprinkle around her. She grabs one of the shards and stabs it in the leg of Harding before backing away. He lets out a groan before pulling the plastic out. Crimson trickles down his leg as he continues to fight on in the cold winter night.

Wolf continues on now with Brendan hobbling along. We see them reach a local 7/11 before they brawl into the convenience store. Harding throws her head first into a shelf of snacks before he grabs a beer bottle and chugs some down. He dumps the rest onto his opponents before smashing the bottle across her head. She’d soon fight back after dodging a Magic Bullet and hitting him with a saito suplex onto a crate. Ayame would eat a Tech Armor Detonation liger bomb through the window of the 7/11. Soon following her outside to go for a pin attempt.

ONE!

TWO!

Ayame would kick out somehow and the match would continue on. Both would continue fighting down the busy streets of Sapporo hitting each other with whatever weapons they could find. Using umbrellas, canes, pots and even a brick! They’d continue to brawl and trade moves with one another before reaching some steep stairs that’d lead to a local temple.

They fight up the steps before fighting across the temple. Wolf tries to push Brendan into the water, but they both end up getting wet after he uses a ladle to throw water at her. They start fighting towards a large bell before Ayame grabs the rope to the bell and whips Harding! He dodges it and ends up under the bell. She rings the bell with him inside!

Psycho KGB: “(Looks like Harding had his bell rung tonight!)”

She goes for another pin attempt before he kicks out. They start to fight back down towards the steps as they fall down them into a continuous prawn hold. Harding is the one to come up on top as he finishes that clusterfuck with a double footstomp and a pin attempt of his own. It gets two again as they soon manage to fight into a nearby bus.

They sit across from each other and start chopping one another to oblivion! Both getting their chests lit up. Harding kicks her with a Magic Bullet soon after and goes for yet another pin! It doesn’t do too much as she grabs an old ladies purse and beats him with it. They manage to fight to the top of the bus where they trade strikes back and forth. Wolf grabs Brendan after a kick to his hurt leg and hits him with an avalanche lightning spiral off the top of the bus!

MUSHI: “(BLOOD MOON SACRIFICE!)”

Psycho KGB: “(THAT’S ALL SHE WROTE! ONE! TWO! THREE!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of this match and NEW J-ROK New Wave Champion… Wolf Fang Ayame!)”

She stands up with her arms raised. We see her bark at the moon as the snow falls.

---

We cut backstage to see Steve Awesome. He is still in his ring gear and unshowered but he has all his bags with him. He quickly rushes across the intersection of two hall ways and puts his back up against a wall. Once he thought he was safe he walks over to the medic room where Zelda Knite was sitting. Steve grabs her by the arm.

Steve Awesome: Come on babe. We gotta get the hell out of here.

Zelda looks up in the direction of his voice and you can see that she has gauze pads on both her eyes to help with the black mist burns.

Zelda Knite: Steve? Is that you? Did you win? I can’t see a thing with these bandages on my eyes.

Steve Awesome: We will talk about it later. Right now we gotta jet!

Suddenly an angry mob of J-Rok officials and crew headed by Yuki and her cousin Keni Sakaraba show up.

Yuki Sakaraba: There he is! Get him!

Steve Awesome: Damn.

Steve grabs the blinded Zelda by the arm and they take off running down the hall.

Zelda Knite: Steve why are we running? What’s going on?

Steve ignores her and he takes a few turns but Yuki and the angry mob are still hot on his tail. The mob gets closer and closer before Steve crashes through the arena doors with Zelda in tow. Steve runs about twenty feet out the door before the mob stops and lets him run away into the cold.

Yuki Sakaraba: Dont you ever show your face in J-Rok again!

Yuki turns and goes inside. Moments later she pops her back outside

Yuki Sakaraba: And take your stupid golden shoe with you!

Yuki yeets the shoe out the door and goes back inside. The shoe flies through the air and the pegs Steve in the back of the head. He falls down unconscious into the snow. A blinded Zelda is left standing, unsure of what is happening.

Zelda Knite: Steve? What's going on? Why is it cold?

She stands there waiting for an answer but Steve just lays out, unconscious on the ground.

Zelda Knite: Did you win? Are we waiting for the car?

Zelda sticks her arms out trying to see if she could touch anyone nearby.

Zelda Knite: Can we get McDonald’s on the way back?

She starts to shiver a bit as the wind blows.

Zelda Knite: Steve?

Fumio Daemura: "(The following contest is an Iron Maiden Death match and is for the X*Crown championship! Featuring first, “the Paragon of Sleaze” Keith Williams!)"

The arena is plunged into darkness as "When the Levee Breaks" by Led Zeppelin echoes out of the speakers, triggering the attention of those in attendance to the stage where dark blue lights have started to flash in rhythm to the music.

If it keeps on rainin', levee's goin' to break
When the levee breaks I'll have no place to stay

As the tempo of the song picks up, it can barely be seen that someone has made their way out in the pitch black, planting themselves in the middle of the stage. The lights return and we're shown the back of Keith Williams as he's pointing at what's on his clothing. He's noticeably wearing a black denim vest with patches of bands on the front, the words "Paragon of Sleaze" printed on the back in a death metal/black metal stylized font, and directly below this is a giant mustache graphic.

Williams spins around, stroking his mustache and gleefully taking a look out at the crowd. He slowly saunters his way down the rampway to ringside, taking his time to taunt fans on either side of him. As he reaches the ring, Keith goes to enter by rolling under the bottom rope, but hesitates for a moment to thrust against it to the beat of the song, eventually getting to his feet and treating everyone with another round of mustache strokes for good measure. He mounts the turnbuckle nearest to him, hopping up to the middle rope and posing with his arms spread wide. As the music dies down, KW abandons his post and tosses his vest to a company stooge on the outside, taking to practicing his elbows in the corner before the match begins.

PsychoKGB: "(So, we have a Iron Maiden at ringside, and I don’t mean the band, and the winner is the one who puts the other into the Iron Maiden and closes it shut.)"

Fumio Daemura: "(And his opponent, he is the XHF X*Crown champion. He is the Messiah of Mayhem...Dylan Black!)"

"Blood, Tears, Dust" by Lacuna Coil hits the sound system, and there is an eruption of boos. He stands atop the stage, slowly raising his hands to taunt the crowd. A flash of light illuminates the stage as the rest of the arena is cast in darkness. Almost as if the very gods themselves are announcing his arrival. He makes his way down the ring, sliding in and leaning against the ropes. He hands the X*Crown championship belt to the ref for display before being handed off to the timekeeper for safekeeping.

PsychoKGB: "(Dylan Black looks ready to put an end to Keith Williams.)"

MUSHI: "(You know these two have been going back and forth with the FWA Anarchy title.)"

PsychoKGB: "(No one...no one cares about that title.)"

MUSHI: "(Plenty of people care about that title!)"

As the bell sounds to start the match, Dylan Black and Keith Williams meet in the center of the ring and begin exchanging punches. Quickly, Dylan takes advantage, pelting a backpedalling Keith with lefts and rights before grabbing him by the arm and hitting a short arm clothesline to send Keith to the mat.

Dylan aims a kick at Keith’s ribcage, but Keith rolls out of the way and to his feet. Keith springs off of the ropes and nails a bicycle kick on the rebound. Dylan rolls away to his feet before Keith can aim any kicks at him.

Keith grabs at Dylan and whips him into the ropes, hitting a rotating spinebuster when Dylan comes back. Keith reaches for Dylan, but Dylan moves first. He places the fingertips of his right hand to Keith’s forehead and-

ZAP!

The smell of ozone fills the air as Keith Williams is thrown back through the air as lightning flows through his body. He lands on the mat and twitches a little while Dylan Black stands up.

Dylan walks across the ring, sheer power arcing between his fingers. Keith sits up, four red marks on his forehead where Dylan burned him.

MUSHI: "(You see that grin on Dylan’s face? You would think that he was the evil Emperor from Star Wars or something.)"

PsychoKGB: "(He’s more machine than man now. Twisted and evil.)"

MUSHI: "(This isn’t Star Wars!)"

Keith moves as Dylan unleashes a stream of lightning. Keith throws a black stiletto at Dylan. It attracts the stream of lightning as the blade pierces Dylan’s left shoulder and turns the stream of power back against him. Dylan lets out a scream of pain as he drops to his knees, his own power attacking him.

Keith stands up and walks over to Dylan as his power fizzles out. He rips the stiletto out of Dylan’s shoulder, blood streaming out of the wound. He tosses the weapon out of the ring and hefts Dylan up and hits a couple of knife edge chops before throwing him down with an airplane spin.

PsychoKGB: "(I don’t know what that device was, but it certainly worked.)"

MUSHI: "(Another cheating device that was made just for countering Dylan’s powers.)"

Keith gets Dylan up and into a vertical suplex position. He runs towards the rope with Dylan in the air and goes over the ropes in a flopping dive that hits something of a piledriver onto the floor around the ring from inside the ring!

PsychoKGB: "(Oh my gawd! Will Dylan need a cybernetic head after this match?)"

MUSHI: "(It certainly seems like it!)"

Keith Williams is a little slow in getting up. He grabs the rising Dylan and hits several European uppercuts before spinning Dylan around, and hitting a tiger suplex, Keith jumps to his feet and rolls into an elbow strike on the downed Dylan to finish the move sequence,

Keith pulls Dylan up, walking him around the ring to where the Iron Maiden in. He throws Dylan into the torture device and slams the line shut to win the match!

NO! Dylan’s right arm is sticking out of the Iron Maiden so that it will not close! Keith opens the device up and slams the door on Dylan’s arm a few times, ripping at the thin pretend flesh over the cybernetic arm to reveal the metal within.

Keith Williams opens the Iron Maiden up wide.

Keith Williams: Goodbye, Dylan Black. We will not miss you…

Keith slams the door Dow with all of his might, but this time, Dylan manages to get his right hand up to block the door being shut. A combination of blood and lubricants spray at Dylan as his hand if impaled by one of the spikes.

Keith lifts the lid to the Iron Maiden again, looking down in shock.

Keith Williams: What the fuck are you doing? Time to lose!

Dylan putas his arm out where gashes to his arm have left bloody steel exposed and a hole in his had left wires. Dylan etches out with the arm and places the palm of his hand over Keith’s heart while unloading everything that he can through his damaged hand.

Eventually, the flow of power stops. Keith Williams falls, smoking, to the concrete floor. Dylan slowly gets out of the Iron Maiden and grabs Keith Williams and loads him up in it. Dylan slams the door on Keith Williams and walks over to the timekeeper’s table to collect his belt. He doesn’t even look back at the casket as blood drips out of the ancient horror device.

Fumio Daemura: "(Winner of the match and STILL XHF X*Crown champion….Dylan Black!)"

MUSHI: "(You think that Keith is still alive?)"

PsychoKGB: "(I would hope so or else there might be a very large settlement coming somebody’s way for the wrongful death.)"

Dylan’s music is cut short as Panther like a Panther plays! The crowd explodes! Can it be? Dylan shakes his head, he doesn’t think anything of it until a masked and hooded figure clocks him in the face and sends him to the floor! They climb over the barricade and start to lay into Dylan with everything they can. It doesn’t take much, afterall the X*Crown Champ is beaten and bloodied already! However that doesn’t stop him from trying to defend himself! He reaches out, shoving thumbs into the eyes of the mask as they shriek in pain! He tears at the hoodie and pulls it away, before going after the mask. He pulls the mask off… to reveal another mask!

Bandages and the like! With some piercing purple eyes staring up at him, he slowly begins to try to piece everything together before A SECOND FIGURE TAKES HIM DOWN! NANI THE FUCK? The two masked deviants, clearly associates, beat the tar out of Dylan! The larger figure with the wolf mask powerbombs him onto the concrete, before she unmasks. It’s Big Bad Wolf! She slaps on a sleeper and holds Dylan up as the smaller figure unwraps the bandages. The purple eyes are accompanied by a face, wait we all know who this is!

DARLENE PRICE! SHE IS BACK! THE CROWD EXPLODES AGAIN, WE HAVEN’T SEEN HER FOR OVER A YEAR! SHE KICKS DYLAN LOW AND HITS HIM WITH THE RU486 (Gun Stun style cutter) FACE FIRST ONTO THE X*CROWN, Dar takes this opportunity to step back and gives a wicked smile as the crowd boos, "Love The Way You Hate Me" plays over the PA as Darlene stands tall over the fallen Dylan Black.

Fumio Daemura: "(The following contest is a “Fans Bring the Weapons” match and is scheduled for one fall and is for the IJWF championship! Featuring first the challenger...Momoko Honda!)"

As Rising Hope gears up, Momoko makes her way to the stage. She rises a single finger up in the air, feeling the crowds cheer rain down on her. She finally makes her way to the ring, greeting the fans as she makes her way down the ramp. Momoko climbs on the apron, she makes her way to the top rope and looks down at the fans. Before she finally raises another finger in the air. After some seconds Momoko, jumps down and makes her way to the middle of the ring, displaying a striking pose. Momo-chan goes to the nearest corner and awaits for the official to start the match.

Fumio Daemura: "(And her opponent, the IJWF champion...Kayla Winters!)"

“Money” by Pink Floyd begins playing as Kayla’s manager, Grace Hollister, comes out from the back first. She has a look around and motions to someone backstage. Kayla Winters walks out onto the entrance stage with a big smile, despite the boos from the fans. The pair head down to the ring and begin walking around the ring while looking in at Momoko Honda.

Kayla Winters steps into the ring and hands her title belt to the ref for display to the crowd before handing it off to the timekeeper.

PsychoKGB: "(I have heard that Grace likes to interfere where needed in a match. This being a no disqualification, I bet she might be in there a lot.)"

MUSHI: "(I would hope not. That wouldn’t make for a fair match!)"

As the bell rings to start the match, Grace Hollister walks over to the fans at ringside. She gets a weapon, an aluminum sheet pan, and tosses it into the ring to Kayla. She snatches it out of the air and smashes it across Momoko’s head, nearly bending the pan in half. Momoko staggers backwards a few steps. When she recovers from being smacked by the pan, Kayla smacks her again, this time really bending the pan in half.

Momoko takes a step away from Kayla, dropping to her knees. Blood trickles from her hairline down her face. Kayla grabs Momoko as if for a fireman’s carry, but Momoko reverses it into a ddt!

Kayla stands up and Momoko begins a series of kicks. She hits a few kicks to the thighs, but when she aims a kick at the midsection, Kayla sidesteps. She grabs the leg under her arm and twists her body, hyperextending the knee to the side in a move that takes Momoko to the mat!

PsychoKGB: "(That was a brutal move, twisting Momoko’s knee like that!)"

MUSHI: "(It was a bit early to go for so many kicks.)"

Kayla goes for a single leg boston crab, targeting the leg that she just twisted. She cinches in the hold and the ref checks to see if Momoko will submit, but she refuses. Momoko manages to get her other foot up and kick Kayla off of her.

Momoko rolls to her feet, favoring the knee that had been twisted. Kayla backs up to the ropes where her manager, Grace Hollister, hands her a frying pan. Kayla rushes at Momoko, swinging the frying pan at her head. Momoko side steps the swing and roundhouse kicks the pan right back into Kayla’s face!

PsychoKGB: "(What a kick!)"

MUSHI: "(I bet that Kayla is glad that she wasn’t carrying a cast iron frying pan now!)"

Momoko gets Kayla up into a headlock and begins to run with her, but Kayla puts on the brakes. She pulls Momoko up into the air and hits an atomic drop!

Kayla goes to the ropes and is on the rebound as Momoko turns around so that Kayla can hit a spear! She goes for the pinfall!

One
Two
Three!

Fumio Daemura: "(Winner of the match and STILL IJWF champion….Kayla Winters!)"

(Olympia is in the locker room warming up with Rage and Fury as Terminatrix watches and is urging her on. She starts throwing stiff lightning quick kicks while Terminatrix looks on.)


Terminatrix: "Left......Left.....Left......!......Right.....Right.....Right.....! Body!......Head!......Legs!.....Arms!"

Olympia: "Yes Terminatrix!"

Terminatrix: "Remember whichever Kurokawa brother is in there with you don't show mercy!"

Olympia: "Merciless Aggression!"

Terminatrix: "That's right Olympia! No mercy is the key to victory! I never show any mercy and neither should you Olympia!"

Rage: "Let your aggression takeover when you enter the match! Let whoever is in that match with you feel the wrath of Olympia whether it's Strife or Kurokawa!
Unleash your wrath on them!"

Olympia: "No Mercy!"

Fury: "Help your PURE stablemates end this feud with KADO once and for all!"

Terminatrix: "Remember your PURE stablemates are much superior than anyone in KADO including the Kurokawa's! Show them what real shame is that theyshall never bother PURE again!"

(Olympia finishes her warmups.)

Olympia: "PURE shall defend it's honor and shall be left bloodied but standing."

Terminatrix: "That's what you must do Olympia since this is war and in war there is always bloodshed and casualties."

Olympia: "Tell me if your appearance at SWAT's Battleground was enjoyable."

Terminatrix: "It was quite intriguing and the talent is interesting."

Olympia: "Did you see Industrial Woman and her claim to be from the future."

Terminatrix: "She is not from the future and her act is phony as is AWF's Guilotina and MIA's claims."

Rage: "Trust us Olympia it's true."

Fury: "I know you like to handle your own battles but if you need us to watch your back. We shall wait until necessary to assist you."

Olympia: "You know what I'm going to say about you doing that."

Rage: "You'll kick our heads off before kicking both our asses."

Olympia: "You know I'll do that."

Fury: "W already felt your kicks and we scored two field goals."

Terminatrix: "You know what to do out there."

Olympia: "I know exactly what to do."

Terminatrix: "Then gout there and do what you want accomplished to be done."

(Olympia thumps her brother Rage's chest roaring and she does the same to Fury and roars and then thumps to Terminatrix and roars before leaving as the scene slowly fades to black.)

Psycho KGB: “(Our next match has quite the history MUSHI.)”

MUSHI: “(That they do Psycho-San.)”

Psycho KGB: “(Both teams have been fighting for years now, spanning multiple promotions and matches. It all started when both teams fought for the Rose City Tag Team Titles.)”

MUSHI: “(Now both teams face off in a Sapporo Stampede Match for the J-ROK Super Duos Championships! In this match though both teams will fight under tornado rules. You will have to outlast your opponents while there are icicle pits around the ring and Sapporo’s mascot, Haunted Tokei Guys in the ring that can be used as weapons.)”

Psycho KGB: “(If you get your opponent out of the ring and into the icicle pits you will win the match!)

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is a Sapporo Stampede Death Match and is for the J-ROK Super Duos Championships! Introducing first in the red corner they are the challengers… they are the team of Shizuko Hitokage and Emi Yamamoto… they are Power Buff Girlz!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(And their opponents in the blue corner… they are the team of Hayley Grimes and Rin Kubo… They are the REIGNING DEFENDING J-ROK Super Duos Champions… They are… SKY Force!)”

Both teams are ready for this huge match for the most sought after tag team titles in the world as all four ladies start the match off by charging towards one another and getting into a huge slugfest! Hitokage and Grimes brawl to one corner while Emi and Rin keep trading stiff chops and forearm strikes in the middle of the ring.

Emi whips Rin into the corner before yelling at Shizuko. They beat their opponents down a little bit before running across the ring and hitting stereo cannonballs onto them. They pick up their opponents and try to throw them over, but Kubo and Grimes get out and hit stereo german suplexes of their own.

Rin deadlift powerbombs Emi before going to pick her up again, Emi lays into her with some palm strikes, breaking free. She clubs Kubo some more before going to help her tag team partner. Hayley can be seen fighting with Hitokage, really laying in some stomps and chops.

Emi grabs Hayley and yanks her away from her partner before charging her with a shoulder tackle. She picks her up again before both Girlz would squish Grimes. Emi would pick her up again to powerbomb her. Shizuko goes to do some damage onto Rin. Rin fights back and hits her with some forearms, making her stumble back.

She gets behind her and locks in a sleeper hold. Emi sees this and tries to stop her with a lariat. Rin ducks it and locks her into a sleeper hold too before she starts to turn. The turning blurs into a spin and soon enough we it…

MUSHI: “(There it is! A double sleeper hold giant swing! This is the move Rin calls The Worst Flight!)”

After a few seconds Kubo lets go. Soon after Hayley rushes her opponents and hits a double hip attack! They try to dump over their opponents, but Emi and Shizuko land on the apron. They try to push them off, but PPG fight back again. They get back into the ring and knock them down with some spears.

Emi stacks them up before Shizuko runs towards her. Yamamoto lifts her up for a pop-up splash. She comes down for a Look Out Below! SKY Force lets out some groans of pain before managing to get up to their feet. PPG rush towards them before they roll out of the way. Hayley grabs one of the Haunted Tokei Man. She smashes it across the head of Shizuko while Emi grabs another one and hits Rin with it.

She catches Grimes after she’d go for a hip attack and drop her on her head with a back body drop. After some more brawling, Her and Hitokage would pick up Kubo and Grimes for their double power powerbomb finisher. Rin would rake the eyes and face of Emi while Hayley would use her thighs to squeeze Shizuko’s neck and head, cutting off her oxygen with the Thigh Thunder move. Shizuko would try to fight back, but it’d be too much to handle as she’d start to black out.

Hayley would roll her out of the ring onto the apron meanwhile Rin would hit Emi with a Burning Sword lariat up and over the ropes. Both of the PPG would fall to the outside and into the icicle pits.

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of this match and still J-ROK Super Duos Champions… SKY Force!)”

Psycho KGB: “(This match has been festering for months now. PURE and Kado facing one another in multiple matches time after time. It all started with Olympia and STRiFE for the Visual Kei Championship. But tonight these two stables face off against one another in a World War Deathmatch.)”

MUSHI: “(This match was proposed by PURE’s manager, Dexter Point, and J-ROK staff along with Kado agreed to it. As for the match itself, it’ll be held in two rings surrounded by an exploding barbed wire cage. All ten soldiers will wage war at the same time, gradually being eliminated from the battlefield.)”

Psycho KGB: “(The only way to eliminate an opponent is by knockout or submission. Within this war, like all wars, all is fair. Nothing is illegal in this battle of survival. The match will only end when an entire team has been eliminated. Now that the match and history has been explained, lets get onto the introductions!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is a World War Deathmatch and has no time limit! Introducing first, to my left, they are accompanied to the ring by Dexter Point. They are the team of Kira Izumi, Carnivore, James Raymond, Killa Kai, & Olympia. They are… PURE!)”

The fans cheer for the babyface team as their names are called. We can see them with many weapons of mass destruction with them on their side.

Fumio Daemura: “(And to my right… their opponents… the team of Kenjiro, Mayumi, Michiru, Rio Kurokawa, & STRiFE… they are KADO!)”

They get booed as we see them with many weapons in hand as well.

Fumio Daemura: “(With the introductions out of the way and the rules set… let the world war begin!)”

The match begins as the sirens go off. All ten warriors taunt one another to go to the other ring. They hold off for a few moments before the Kado members flank their opponents. Kai starts to shoot Mayumi with a gun. A liquid that looks like water comes out of it as she gets wet. He tries to shoot the others with it, but eats a cookie sheet to the face. Kira has a scythe attached to a heavy chain swinging it around as Michiru comes towards him with an antler.

We see tons of chaos ensue as violence and mayhem can be seen in every corner of the screen. All ten are trying to maim one another. Kenjiro would get run over with a buggy by Raymond. Olympia has a spartan shield that she’s using to block an attack from Rio and STRiFE and Raymond are fighting one another too.

Psycho KGB: “(This match has just begun, but it’s already a crazy mess!)”

MUSHI: “(That it is, but look at that! CARNIVORE IS SHOOTING BOTTLE ROCKETS AT THE OPPOSITION!)”

The fireworks go off and hit everyone within range. Some even hitting the cage and making parts of it go off in chaotic fashion. Izumi and Kenjiro would be hit with the explosion and go down as Mayumi would manage to hit Carnivore with a running yakuza kick. She hits him again with the eye of the storm combo, knocking him into the cage and causing another explosion. She’d go for a submission but it’d get broken up.

We’d see Olympia get behind her and rush her with the giant shield! Mayumi would crash into the cage shortly after and be right in the explosion.

Psycho KGB: “(Mayumi… she’s…)”

MUSHI: “(HOLY SHIT! MAYUMI IS ON FIRE!)”

Psycho KGB: “(THAT LIQUID SHE WAS SPRAYED WITH EARLIER MUST’VE BEEN GAS NOT WATER!)”

Attendants spray her with a fire extinguisher before stretchering her out of the ring and into the back.

Fumio Daemura: “(Mayumi Kurokawa has been eliminated. There are now 5 remaining for PURE and 4 remaining for Kado.)”

We can see STRiFE and Kira trading strikes now. As well as Olympia and Rio. James and Carnivore are double teaming Michiru and Kenjiro and Kai are beating the hell out of each other. Even without the ultra violence the strikes from these two men would make even the most numb of individuals wince in pain. Killa would hit Kurokawa with his patent Krash Kick shotgun dropkick right into the ropes. Kenjiro would come back with a kappa kick leaving both down for a moment.

We’d see Raymond and Carnivore hit a double suplex on Michiru right into a trashcan! They’d team up on STRiFE soon after with Kira, but would get beat down with the help of Rio. STRiFE would kick Kai hard with a roundhouse kick and we’d see Rio lift him up to Kenjiro after setting something up and beating down PURE. Kenjiro would get Kai and jump off!

Psycho KGB: “(TIGER DRIVER OFF THE TOP ROPE!)”

MUSHI: “HAKKA NO TOGAME!!!! (RIGHT THROUGH THE SPARTAN SHIELD!!!)”

Kai crashes right through the shield as it breaks into pieces.

Fumio Daemura: “(Killa Kai has been eliminated from the battlefield. There are now 4 soldiers remaining for both sides.)”

We’d soon see Izumi gather some light tubes and put them on his leg, he’d wrap duct tape around it to keep it there before he’d run towards a downed Kenjiro. Itami no Izumi shining wizard from Izumi! The light tubes turn to dust as they engrain themselves into the face of Kenjiro. Kira goes for his Kira Driver ‘91, but Rio hits him with the Asubureka diving shotgun dropkick before he could do anything else. Meanwhile Carnivore would hit STRiFE with a literal burning lariat!

His arm was wrapped in a piece of cloth that was on fire, knocking the Visual Kei Champ into the opposite ring. Michiru would soon come to the rescue before he could do anymore damage though, she’d hit him with a piece of barbed wire like a whip before wrapping it around his arm and locking in a brutal hoverboard lock she calls the Fade Away. and fade away he did as he’d soon tap out to the pain of the hold.

Fumio Daemura: “(Carnivore has been eliminated. There are now 3 remaining for PURE and 4 remaining for Kado.)”

We see all of them go for a massive suplex soon. Kado gets them down. We see Kenjiro and Michiru double teaming Olympia now in one ring while Rio and Kira are fighting in the other and James and STRiFE are trading blows. Raymond hits STRiFE with a devastating powerbomb while Kenjiro and Michiru have their’s reversed into a double armbar.

Rio and Kira trade strikes and combos with one another before Izumi hits her with the scythe. He carves her face before doing some lighter fluid and holding a match. He tries to spray her with a fiery breath, but she rolls out of the way. She whips him into the corner as he jumps up to the top rope, he does a backflip over her and hits her with a bridging german suplex right into a kenzan board. He wraps a chain around her throat before climbing to the top rope and choking her.

Fumio Daemura: “(Rio Kurokawa has been eliminated. There are 3 remaining for both teams.)”

Kenjiro would get free from Olympia before throwing a chair at Kira and jumping up to the top rope. He picks him up and drops him on his neck with a devastating Hakuteiken burning hammer right onto the turnbuckle!

Fumio Daemura: “(Kira Izumi has been eliminated from the battle field. 2 remain for PURE, 3 remain for Kado.)”

Olympia and James fight back with all their might as the odds are stacked against them yet again. Trying to keep at least one member down at all times. Both try to chop down the opposition with all they can, but to no avail.

We’d soon see Kenjiru and STRiFE do a double powerbomb onto Olympia at one point. At another Raymond would hit Michiru with a question mark kick he calls the Venom Bite, only he had some shards of light tubes from earlier taped to his boot. We’d see some brutal moments from Kenjiro and Olympia trading moves and holds as well. Soon Michiru would hit olympia with a bloody tears jumping knee. Raymond would hit her soon afterwards with a Cult of Raymond underhook piledriver through the kenzan board!

Fumio Daemura: “(Michiru Kurokawa has been eliminated from the battlefield. 2 remain from both teams.)”

Psycho KGB: “(This has been one of the most violent and dangerous matches we’ve seen possibly ever! Just how much more can either of these teams take?)”

Kenjiro and James fight back and forth now, both turning into a bloody mess. Olympia and STRiFE are trading submission holds and strikes in a clench position. Soon james knocks down Kenjiro into STRiFE before setting up the buggy from earlier in the match. He lifts up Kurokawa to the top rope before he fights back and gets James into a tiger driver position. James fights back and gets free, only to get caught again after being held in a choke hold. Kenjrio hits him with the Hakka no Togame from the top into the buggy! James’ corpse crashes hard into the steel mesh.

Fumio Daemura: “(James Raymond has been eliminated from the battlefield. 1 remains from PURE and 2 remain from Kado.)”

Kado use the numbers odds to their favor as both Kurokawa and STRiFE beat up on Olympia. She’d manage to even them only a little after kicking STRiFE into the cage wall and causing her to feel the power of the explosive barbed wire wall. The smell of explosives and blood overwhelms the venue as all three now are a crimson mess.

Olympia and Kenjiro trade submissions now. Going from armbars to headlocks. They weave to and fro from one hold to another in a terrific display of technique and skill. Kenjrio would lock in an arm bar though in a triangle position. Olympia would manage to get him up into a powerbomb position and slam him down. He’d only keep the hold locked in tighter as she’d pick him up again, this time slinging him into the side of the cage and stomping his skull deep into the mat till he was rendered unable to compete.

Fumio Daemura: “(Kenjiro Kurokawa has been eliminated from the battlefield. There are only two warriors remaining.)”

MUSHI: “(Very poetic it’s these two in the end of the match for tonight. Olympia was STRiFE’s first opponent since she won the Visual Kei Championship and now Olympia is looking to get her revenge!)”

Neither would go through the formalities of a normal one on one encounter. They were too tired for that. Had fought far too long for that. Right now both were desperate to get out of this hellish structure. To be free of this life changing battle. To end this war once and for all.

They’d trade big moves, hitting suplexes and powerbombs on one another. Going from one submission to another. One strike into another. Eventually Olympia would get STRiFE into a guillotine choke. She has it locked in tight as blood pours down her face. STRiFE tries to fight off at first and then soon stops; her arms hanging by her side.

The referee lifts her arm.

ONE!

It goes down, as her lifeless body is only being held up by Olympia.

TWO!

It goes down again.

Psycho KGB: “(Things aren’t looking good for STRiFE now.)”

THREE

No wait!

STRiFE’s hand doesn’t go down all the way… she raises a fist into the air before she starts to claw at the face of Olympia. Olympia tries to keep the hold in longer, but STRiFE picks her up and slams both of them into the side of the cage. They both take the full brunt of the explosion.

Both women are down now, doing whatever they can to get back up to their feet and recover. They start to trade more strikes and combos crescendoing into a magnificent display of violence. Both women would trade stiff headbutts towards the end climaxing with a devastating brainbuster from Olympia.

She’d go for another big move before STRiFE would stop it with one of her own. A german suplex would give her enough time to tie some kenzan spikes to her boot with barbed wire. She’d lift up Olympia now, kicking her with the barbed wire wrapped kenzan spike embedded leg. Hitting her with a running roundhouse into the cage to finish it off. STRiFE would grab the barbed wire again wrapping it around the throat of Olympia and causing her to eventually tap out to win the battle, no to win this war.

Fumio Daemura: “(Olympia has been eliminated from the battlefield. Your winner of the war is Kado!)”

Kado celebrates the victory before going to the back. The cage is being raised up above the ring now as Dexter gets in the ring to check on Olympia. Not too long after this we see Carnivore, James Raymond and Killa Kai head out to check on their stablemate.

Psycho KGB: “(PURE checking up on their stablemate now. That just shows you how much of a unit they really are.)”

They help Olympia up to her feet. Soon she’s dropped back down though as Killa Kai hits the murder spree ddt on her. The others start stomping a mudhole into her. Dexter yells at them confused as to what’s happening. They shout “You did this!” as the beatdown continues.

MUSHI: “(What the hells going on?! I thought they were partners… friends!)”

Psycho KGB: “(I’m not sure what’s going on right now, but look! There’s some help coming along the way in the shape of the new Trios Champions!)”

Deco and the Swann brothers rush down to the ring as they fight with the now former members of PURE. They get some good licks in, but the former PURE members gain the upper hand soon enough.

Psycho KGB: “(Oh thank god the owner is coming out here to gain some order!)”

The J-ROK Owner comes out and makes their way down to the ring, yelling and cursing in japanese. WIth the help for Olympia beaten down the rest stop and listen. The owner walks over towards the GWA Legend, Dexter Point before they spit a red mist into his face and hit him with a tiger driver ‘91. They take off their mask to reveal…

MUSHI: “(Wait that’s…)”

Psycho KGB: “(KIRA IZUMI?!!?)”

He shouts for a mic as the fans in attendance abrupt into chaos.

Kira Izumi: “(I said i’d be here tanight, an’ here i am! Dexter! Ye did this! Ya forced my hand old man! An’ now? Now yer world will crumble…)”

He stomps on him some more.

Kira Izumi: “(I’ll see y’all next year…)”

The final shot of the night is Kira alongside James, Killa and Carnivore standing tall as the fans boo.

MUSHI: “(Just what the fuck is going on?! I really don’t like any of this. Not one bit!)”

Psycho KGB: “(I’m not really sure, but i guess we’ll find out next year… Thank you all for watching the show and we’ll catch you next year folks!)”
