[Kira Izumi]

King of Hokkaido Tournament & J-ROK Presents: Ramble On
At ES CON Field Hokkaido In Kitahiroshima, Hokkaido, Japan
June 25th, 2022

Zoom! Bang! Kachow! Fireworks go off around the stage as the camera does some wild twists and turns, almost like the end of Evil Dead. It flies all around the arena crazy like before stopping by the commentary booth.

MUSHI: "(Welcome everyone! To Ramble On! We've had a super busy month with the King of Hokkaido tournament in full swing, and with the last round of the tournament just a few days ago the finals are set! Brendan Harding vs Miguel Diaz!)"

Psycho KGB: "(This card is so stacked MUSHI! Every title aside from the YTA and Death Metal Championships are on the line! Even the IJWF titles! It's a huge show and we have so much in store for everyone!)"

MUSHI: "(It's gonna be a long one. Now let's get straight to the action!)"

Match One: If Gwen Wins She's Allowed To Wrestle Again; 30 Minute Time Limit
Johnny Sniper Vs. Gwen Holiday

Fumio Daemura: "(The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!)”

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Fumio Daemura: "(Introducing first from Parris Island South Carolina. Standing at six feet, two inches and weighing in at two-hundred seventeen pounds, JOHNNY SNIPER.)”

MUSHI: “(I understand Sniper’s worry for his fiancé here, but I honestly think this lover’s quarrel coil have been resolved at home.)”

Psycho KGB: “(You know, for once I agree with you. I don’t see why this had to go this far.)”

Fumio Daemura: (And his opponent from Glasgow, Scotland. Standing at five feet, seven inches and weighing in at one-hundred forty-three pounds, GWEN HOLIDAY.)”

MUSHI: “(Our first true in-ring look at Holiday, since the Rumble earlier this year.)”

GWEN and SNIPER meet in the center of the ring, and immediately start arguing with each other. Until at point, it looks like GWEN has had enough of Sniper’s mouth, and put her hand and his causing SNIPER to shut up and walk back to a corner.

Psycho KGB: “(Talk to the hand, Sniper.)”

GWEN walks over to the corner where SNIPER is standing and the two lock up in a classic collar-and-elbow, SNIPER very easily pushes Gwen back into the opposite corner but then breaks the hold.

MUSHI: “(Sniper showing his fiancé that he’s bigger and stronger, and can really hurt if he wants to.)”

GWEN initiates another grapple, but once again SNIPER pushes her back into another corner and again breaks the hold. However, this time GWEN fires back with a vicious slap to the face that catches Sniper off guard.

Psycho KGB: “(I think they heard that slap on the moon. Sniper has got to start taking this match seriously).”

As SNIPER stands there, still shucked from the slap. GWEN bursts out of the corner, HOLIDAY RUSH! GWEN quickly goes for the pin, but SNIPER kicks out before the ref can even count to one.

MUSHI: “(A little early on the pin attempt, but one has to remember Holiday is fighting for two rings here.)”

Psycho KGB: “(Yeah, one to work in, and one on her finger.)”

GWEN argues with the ref about not being fast enough. While she’s distracted, SNIPER grabs her in a waist lock and hoists her up into a German Suplex.

MUSHI: “(Improvise, Adapt, Outcome. The move that gave Sniper his only title so far in his career. Could this be the move that makes Holiday a stay-at-home mom?)”

GWEN flips out of the move attempt and catches SNIPER with a BACKSTABBER for his troubles.

Psycho KGB: “(Not so fast there. Sniper’s gonna have to remember Gwen has watched all of his matches, meaning he’s going to have to think outside of the box.)”

SNIPER is clearly off his game and rolls to the ropes to help him up only to be met with a KILLSHOT attempt from GWEN. SNIPER manages to avoid it and catches GWEN with one of his own, knocking GWEN into the corner.

MUSHI: “(Student meet master.)”

Psycho KGB: “(Yeah, but look at Holiday’s position, being slumped in the corner doesn’t make pinning her easy.)”

With GWEN slumped in the corner, SNIPER takes a few steps back before running at her full speed. LOCK ‘N LOAD attempt by SNIPER is thwarted by GWEN ducking at the last possible moment, causing SNIPER to get caught in a Tree of Woe.

Psycho KGB: “(Sniper forgot a big rule, never aim at something you don’t intent to him, and is now stuck in an awkward position.)”

SNIPER tries to free himself from his current predicament, but GWEN wastes no time, catching him with a basement dropkick to his face, flipping SNIPER out of the corner.

MUSHI: “(Holiday with a vicious dropkick.)”

GWEN makes her way to the top rope and catches SNIPER as he gets up with a TOP-ROPE FAMOUSER, HOLIDAY HANG-OVER! GWEN TURNS SNIPER OVER, HOOKING HIS LEG

ONE…

TWO…

THREE!

Fumio Daemura: “(The winner of this match, GWEENN HOOOLIIIDAAAYYY!)”

MUSHI: "(Holiday has done it, She’s got what she wanted.)”

Psycho KGB: “(Now the only question now is where will she set up shop at, here in J-RoK, or somewhere else? All I know is where she lands the roster had better be ready, cause mama ain’t here to play.)”

Match Two: Hayley Grimes' Five Trials of Black Match Four; Castle of Glass Death Match; 30 Minute Time Limit
Hayley Grimes Vs. Big Bad Wolf

Fumio Daemura: "(The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL and is a Castle of Glass Death Match! The match will be contested like normal but if enough glass panes surrounding the ring and supporting the roof of the structure are destroyed, the entire thing will come crashing down!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Are we sure we're safe here? We could certainly get hit with glass from this close.)"

MUSHI: "(We're commentators, not wrestlers. The writer won't hurt us unless one of us is to be used as a plot device.)"

Fumio Daemura: "(Entering the ring first, from The Wrong Neck of the Woods. Standing at SIX FEET FOUR INCHES tall and weighing in at TWO HUNDRED AND SEVEN POUNDS, THE BIG! BAD! WOLF!)"

The lights dim and go all red as a hush goes over the crowd. The eerie sound effects of In This Moment's Big Bad Wolf come over the PA system.

"Even in these chains, you can't stop me.
Even in these chains, you can't stop me.
Even in these chains, you can't stop me.
Even in these chains, you can't stop me!

PIG PIG WOULD YOU LET ME IN?"

Big Bad Wolf slowly makes her way out to the stage as her music plays, taking a glance around the crowd her stoic face never changes, she makes her way down to the ring slowly not showing the crowd any reaction to their cheers or jeers, paces around the ring once surveying it before leaping from the floor to the apron, she then pushes the top rope down and steps over it she then takes the center of the ring, her hands in the "Shaka" to represent a knife, she runs both her thumbs from each side of her neck across then throws them up in the air crossed above her head.

MUSHI: "(BBW was on a roll in the King of Hokkaido tournament, only losing to bracket-winner Miguel and former Super Duos Champion Jason Long!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Yeah, and you can bet your ass she's got a chip on her shoulder now. Came in 3rd place two years in a row? She must be fuming.)"

Fumio Daemura: "(And her opponent, from London, England. Standing at FIVE FEET FOUR INCHES tall and weighing in at ONE HUNDRED AND SIXTY POUNDS, HAYLEY GRIMES!)"

The arena gets brighter as "Wild Child" by Tom Morello & The Struts begin to play. Hayley walks out from the back, high-fiving fans and giving her shades and hat to a lucky kid at ringside. She slips her jacket off and climbs into the ring.

Psycho KGB: "(This is the fourth match in Hayley's Trials of Black series. If she wins this one and the next one, she'll get another shot at Dylan for the J-ROK Visual Kai Championship!)"

MUSHI: "(Here's hoping she prevails!)"

The glass house lowers down over them as a referee with lots of protective gear signals for the match to begin.

DING DING!

Bigby and Hayley would circle each other in the ring, quickly swiping at each other. They'd lock up and BBW would easily power Hayley into a corner between panes, kicking her in the gut and throwing Hayley's head under her legs. She lifts Hayley for a powerbomb and swings her into a glass wall, shaking the structure. She plants Hayley on the mat and stomps away on her corpse, roaring aloud as she runs the ropes. She charges at Hayley who kips up and clotheslines her out of her shoes! BBW tumbles head over heels as Hayley drops an elbow on her, before driving some punches into her skull!

MUSHI: "(Bigby's trying to muscle her way through the match, but Hayley ain't going down without a fight!)"

Psycho KGB: "(She's come so close to a rematch for the Visual Kai Championship, she doesn't wanna lose now!)"

Hayley picks BBW up and whips her into the corner, jumping for a high knee to her face before bulldogging the Wolf. BBW covers her face as Hayley rains some punches on her face. Hayley kicks BBW across the ribs and nails her with a double knee drop. Hayley stomps on the hurt ribs some more, causing Bigby to cry out for a moment of weakness. Hayley rears back for a big stomp but that's exactly what Bigby needed, as she grabs the wound-up leg and punches her in the side of the knee! Hayley crumbles to the floor as Bigby begins to turn her into a paste on the floor!

Bigby grounds and pounds Hayley on the floor before choking her out, bare-handed. Hayley struggles to escape the iron grip of the Big Bad Wolf but Bigby is controlling her right now. Hayley drives her thumb into Bigby's eye, getting her to let go and fall back! Hayley pushes herself to her feet, taking a moment to regroup. She then runs the ropes for a splash, some sort of cross body or something...

BUT BIGBY PICKS HAYLEY UP AND TOSSES HER THROUGH THE GLASS PANEL!

MUSHI: "(Jesus Christ! Hayley is out of the ring now, and covered in glass to boot!)"

Psycho KGB: "(What an impact... oh come on, what's he doing out here?)"

Dylan Black suddenly saunters out from the back, walking down to the ringside area and kneeling beside Hayley, grinning and laughing. He shouts something at her before picking her up and Irish whipping her into the apron! She smacks into it and he follows with a bionic high knee! Hayley folds against him and Dylan rolls her into the ring. He grabs a baseball bat, tossing it to Bigby before coming into the ring, stomping on Hayley as he gets in. Bigby grins as Dylan lifts Hayley up, holding her arms behind her back, laughing while he does it. Dylan shouts at Hayley, telling her she never should have come back to J-ROK. He instructs Bigby to smash her face in and finish the job. Bigby grins and swings.

AND HAYLEY DUCKS! BIGBY NAILS DYLAN WITH A BASEBALL BAT TO THE FACE!

Psycho KGB: "(HELL YEAH! You get what you deserve!)"

MUSHI: "(Serves you right to interfere in our match!)"

Bigby stares down at Dylan in shock, before turning to Hayley and GETTING BLASTED WITH CRASH BOOTYCOOT! HAYLEY FLATTENS BIG BAD WOLF AND ROLLS HER UP FOR THE PIN, ONE, TWO, THREE!

Fumio Daemura: "(The winner of this match, Hayley Grimes!)"

MUSHI: "(She's one step closer to her match with Dylan Black!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Just one trial left, and that will be the toughest one by far. But for now, Hayley can revel in the little victories.)"

We fade as Hayley steps onto the body of Dylan, through the glass and up the ramp.

Match Three: J-ROK Tag Team Rules; 30 Minute Time Limit
Wolf Fang Ayame & TEMERARIO Vs. Valora Thomas & Jacob Striker

Fumio Daemura: "(The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL! And is a J-ROK Rules Tag Team Match. Introducing first, at a combined weight of two hundred and seventy-three pounds, the team of TEMERARIO and WOLF FANG AYAME!)"

MUSHI: "(These guys have been on-again-off-again allies, ready to make a mark on the J-ROK Tag Team Division)"

Psycho KGB: "(They have a lot to work through if they want to get up the rankings. But they're a great match-up!)"

Fumio Daemura: "(And their opponents, at a combined weight of three hundred and seventy-five pounds, the team of JACOB STRIKER and VALORA THOMAS!)"

MUSHI: "(Jacob had a decent run in the King of Hokkaido tournament, coming up Xth in his block. Not too shabby in his debut.)"

Psycho KGB: "(And Valora is making her J-ROK debut. A proven UFC fighter making her mark in the wrestling world.)"

The match would begin with TEMERARIO and Wolf Fang fighting to decide who would start the match. TEMERARIO would get through to Wolf Fang and would start the match with Jacob, going back and forth in the beginning. They'd get a lot of big moves in, Jacob nailing some power moves and TEMERARIO flying with some speedy strikes. TEMERARIO would nail a moonsault for a 2 count and Jacob would nearly get TEM to tap with a cross-arm breaker! But neither would quite be able to put the other away, causing them to double tag their partners!

In would come Walora and Wolf Fang. Wolf Fang was on edge and angry after her failures in the King of Hokkaido tournament. She'd switch it up from her regular speedy moveset to some power moves to offset her new opponent. But Valora has that MMA experience and is able to counter some wild strikes with tough submissions. Ayame would dip into some speed strikes but Valora would have her number for most things.

The end of the match would come as Valora would nail Wolf Fang with a Nat 20 spinning Tae Kwon Do kick to put the J-ROK alumni down for the count!

Fumio Daemura: "(The winners of this match, Valora Thomas and Jacob Striker!)"

MUSHI: "(Big win for the newcomers! Put in the work and you see results!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Tough for Wolf Fang and TEM. They've been working hard but lady luck is against them for some reason.)"

Match Four: J-ROK Trios Championship Match; Tornado Cage Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Heroes for Hire (Mark Storm, Takashi Shinobu, & Mitsuo Shimada) Vs. SKY Force(Tabby Scratch, Rin Kubo, & Shizuku Yamamoto)(C.)

Fumio Daemura: "(The following match is scheduled for ONE FALL and is for the J-ROK Trios Championships! Introducing the challengers, weighing six hundred and seventy pounds, the team of Mark Storm. Takashi Shinobu. And Mitsuo Shimada. HEROES FOR HIRE!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Heroes for Hire has been close to success for a while and I think tonight they will get to the top!)"

MUSHI: "(Oh please, SKY Force isn't falling anytime soon!)"

Fumio Daemura: "(And the champions, weighing in at four hundred and forty-nine pounds. The team of Tabby Scratch. Rin Kubo. And Shizuku Yamamoto. SKY FORCE!)"

MUSHI: "(Yeah guys, these guys aren't losing. They are gonna be the longest-reigning Trios champs EVER!)"

Psycho KGB: "(They already are. Like, as of 12 days ago Dude.)"

MUSHI: "(BEST EVER!)"

This would be a fast and furious, and chaotic match. SKY Force and HFH would take each other to their limits, getting lots of near falls and close calls. But in the end HFH would hit a triple powerbomb on each member of SKY Force before Mark Storm covered Rin Kubo for the win.

Fumio Daemura: "(The winners of this match and NEW J-ROK Trios Champions, Heroes for Hire!)"

MUSHI: "(I can't believe it. They did it. They beat the best?)"

Psycho KGB: "(SKY Force is deteriorating without their leader.)"

MUSHI: "(Yeah, Nausicaa needs to hurry up and come back.)"

Psycho KGB: "(No, I meant Florida Man.)"

Kira comes out hands Heroes for Hire three separate checks and takes pictures with them before leaving them to celebrate in the ring.

Match Five: IJWF Heritage Championship Match; Submission Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Anna Daniels Vs. Deco(C.)

Psycho KGB: “(This next match is for the IJWF Heritage Championship, Deco has held it for some time now, and is looking to make history here tonight.)”

MUSHI: “(She’s not the only one looking to make history here tonight, Anna Daniels is going to attempt to make history for herself in trying to become the first person to win two different IJWF Championships.)”

The match would start out slow and steady. With each opponent feeling the other out and targeting one part of the body. Seeing what would stick and what wouldn’t. The two would trade holds, with Daniels gaining the advantage in the catch as catch confrontation. Deco would match her in the striking game.

Daniels would work on the knee of Deco, meanwhile Deco would work on the arm of Anna. We’d see some arm bars and knee bars among boston crabs and the more common submission attempts in these kinds of matches. Daniels would really work the knee, smashing her knuckles into it. She’d almost have Deco, if it weren’t for her getting in an arm lock on her opponent. This would help her gain the win and force Anna to eventually tap out.

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of this match is Deco!)”

---

Match Six: J-ROK Super Duos Championship Match; Super Sake Bar Fight; 60 Minute Time Limit
The Hellhounds Vs. Off The Wagon(C.)

Fumio Daemura: "(The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL and is for the J-ROK Super Duos Championships! Introducing the challengers, they weigh five hundred and seventy-five pounds. They are the Hellhounds! And their opponents, the champions. They weigh three hundred and eighty pounds. The Super Duos Champions, Off The Wagon!)"

The camera cuts to an empty bar where Off The Wagon is pounding drinks down. They look to be several drinks deep when two large hands grab their heads and smash 'em together! The Hellhounds stand behind them, cracking their knuckles. The bar goes silent as Off The Wagon turns around, drinks in their hands. Randy yells and smashes a bottle over the head of Psycho! The brawl is on! Randy and Psycho brawl by the bar while Quake kicks Cerberus back and shoves him into a pool table! Cerberus would fight the drunkard off and pick him up, tossing him like Rey Misterio Jr into his partner! Randy would get nailed with Quake and they'd tumble behind the bar, a wall of booze falling on top of them.

The Hellhounds would rip the bar up from the floor, ready to grind the champions to a pulp but they'd be nowhere in sight! Off The Wagon would be hiding on top of the counter, dropping down onto their challengers. Reinvigorated by the booze, Randy takes Psycho and whips him across to the jukebox where Psycho is almost decapitated with a rapidly ejecting CD disc before he damn-near puts Randy through the jukebox! Meanwhile, Cerberus is getting ready to put Quake through a pool table! He tosses Quake across a table where a bunch of angry bikers are not happy their game was disturbed and they chase Cerberus out of the bar!

The end of this brawl would come as quickly as it started, with Psycho alone with the champions. They would break pool cues and stools over his back and he'd no sell it like nothing. Quake would eventually nail a cue ball to the side of his head and knock him onto the vacant table. Randy would then pick him up and nail him with a Drunk Dropper X through the table and pin him to retain the titles!

Fumio Daemura: "(The winner of this match and STILL J-ROK Super Duos Champions, Off The Wagon!)"

MUSHI: "(What a crazy match!)"

---

Match Seven: J-ROK New Wave Championship Match; Desert Storm Death Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Luthor Carbrey Vs. Darlene Price(C.)

Fumio Daemura: "(The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!)"

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Fumio Daemura: "(And is for the J-ROK New Wave Championship! Introducing the challenger, standing at five-feet-eleven-inches tall and weighing in at one-hundred-and-ninety pounds, LUTHOR CARBREY!)"

"Knives" by Bullet for my Valentine plays as Luthor makes his way out to the ring, all business.

MUSHI: "(Luthor was a close third in his block of the King of Hokkaido tournament, being pinned by block-winner Harding and drawing with runner-up Fukushima.)"

Psycho KGB: "(He was a vile, violent man knocking out a lot of guys who stood against him.)"

Fumio Daemura: "(And the Champion! Standing at five-feet-eight-inches tall and weighing in at one-hundred-and-forty-eight pounds, "THE AMBASSADOR OF VIOLENCE" DAAAAAAAAAARLEEEEEEEEEENE PRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!)"

"Love The Way You Hate Me" by Rising Storm starts to play over the speakers, Darlene comes out eyeing the crowd for a second before she makes her way down to the ring, high-fiving a few random fans here and there, she circles the ring slowly as her song plays, she then steps back, runs and slides onto the ring apron on her knee, she rests her back on the top rope her arms draped over it, she sticks her tongue out to the crowd, she then throws her arms out into the crucifix pose with metal horns, slowly she raises her arms up above her head crossed, then throws them down, she then turns and leaps into the ring, tossing her jean vest off either out of the ring or towards her opponent if they are already in the ring. She goes to her corner and starts to stretch her legs waiting for the match to start.

Psycho KGB: "(91 days Darlene has been the ambassador of the New Wave Championship. She's had a few tough fights thus far but looks like this might be her hardest yet.)"

MUSHI: "(This match will leave out the use of military and desert-themed equipment for both wrestlers to use to their full advantage. Dar's specialty.)"

The match began with some back and forth brawling in the ring. The action is quick to spill to the outside where the ground is littered with sand with a few scorpions crawling around. Luthor sends Dar into a large cactus on the outside, sticking her to it! He dropkicks her and the cactus to the ground and follows with a big splash! Dar screams out as blood trickles down her back. In agony. Dar pries herself from the cactus and spears Luthor into a large mysterious tank, where fire ants spill out and begin to bite the both of them. The crowd is forcibly moved away from that side of the area as exterminators come to rid the area and wrestlers of ants but the damage is done as they both suffered from severe bites from the ants.

Dar is the first to her feet as she sends Luthor into the ring post. He catches himself though and grabs a shovel, smacking her with it. Dar is out like a light and Carbrey rolls her up, only getting a 2-count. Frustrated, he slams his fist down on a scorpion and narrowly avoids a sting from it! He picks it up and whips it at the ring post where it splats all gross-like. This distraction is what Dar needs to begin choking him out with a gnarly rope she found on the ground! She chokes and drags him back over to where they first got out of the ring, picking up a handful of sand and tossing it into his eyes!

Dar would then lift Luthor up and nail him with the RU486 on the same large cactus from earlier, sending spikes in both of their bodies! They'd roll around in pain, pushing those spikes in further. Dar would slowly get up and stumble over, stacking Carbrey up on the outside. This would be enough to put him down for the win.

Fumio Daemura: "(The winner of this match AND STILL the J-ROK New Wave Champion, Darlene Price!)"

MUSHI: "(Hell of a match! Luthor put up a valiant effort but Dar stands tall in the end.)"

Psycho KGB: "(The Ambassador of Violence clings to her gold for a little longer.)"

MUSHI: "(Just like all this sand is going to stick to us until the next show.)"

Match Eight: IWJF Championship Match; Hell in a Cell Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Hannah Rockford Vs. Fukushima Zombie(C.)

Psycho KGB: “(You know Hannah and Fukushima both have quite the history between one another. Way back in the SSS days, these two fought outside of the network for the Goddess of Sakura championship.)”

MUSHI: “(Tonight Zombie is looking for history to repeat, meanwhile Rockford is looking to finally get the big one. We’ll see what happens here in just a few minutes!)’

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is set for one fall! And is for the IJWF Championship! Now this match is a Hell In A Cell Death Match. In this match both women will be locked into a twenty foot cell. The object of this match is to pin or submit your opponent while in the ring or on top of the cell.)”

Psycho KGB: “(This is the first of it’s kind here in J-ROK. A match made popular by that big company in connecticut, Kira’s sure to of added his own demented twist to this classic match for these two women tonight.)”

Fumio Daemura: “(Introducing first, in the red corner, standing in at 5’7 and weighing in at 131 pounds, hailing from Wexford Town, Wexford County, Ireland, she is Hannah Rockford!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(And her opponent, in the blue corner, standing in at 5’5 and weighing in at 135 pounds, hailing from Fukushima, Japan, she is the REIGNING DEFENDING IJWF Champion… She is Fukushima Zombie!)”

The bell rings and the match begins with a hot start. Both women trade forearm strikes, back and forth. Hannah grabs Zombie and hits her with a knee, Zombie gives her some back. She tries throwing her into the ropes, but the younger wrestlers reverses it and throws our resident zombie into them instead. She hits her with a kitchen sink and slams the back of her head into the canvas before taunting to the crowd.

Zombie gets up and hits her in the back before suplexing her back down. Hannah rolls out to ringside. Fuku chases her and hits her with a suicide dive right into the cell. The crowd cheers at the spectacular. The two start brawling ringside, slamming one another into the cell as well as using it to their full advantage. Zombie throws her into the stairs, causing her to flip over them. She runs and jumps off the steps and they both crash into the cage again.

Fukushima goes for a palm strike, but it gets reversed. Rockford goes hits an Irish Revolution superkick before backing up and hitting a millennial kick. Causing Zombie to go through the cell door. The two brawl outside of the cell now, before Zombie superkicks her into it once more. She looks up to the top with a pop from the crowd. She starts climbing, with her going up and her opponent following shortly after.

Both make it to the top, starting from the ramp and stage side and brawl across to the middle. Hannah slams her into the cell and it starts to buckle.she picks her up again and hits the afterlife on her. She goes for the pin.

ONE!

TWO!

T-

No a kick out. Zombie grabs her into a la magistral, and gets a two count as well. Both get back up to their feet and trade some strike combinations before Zombie hits a german suplex. The cell starts to sink in a little after a couple more slams and suplexes from both women.

They start brawling across the cell more and get to the edge with the announcers table. Zombie dodges an Irish Revolution and hits her with a t-bone suplex off the top of the cell and right through the announcers table.

MUSHI: “(OH MYGODSHE JUST GOT THROWN 20 FEET IN THE AIR!)”

Psycho KGB: “(Her career could be over in an instant! Someone get medical attention out here fast!)”

Hannah crashes hard into the announce table and concrete. Not moving. A stretcher is rolled out and taken to get her. Medical personnel put a neck brace on her and lift her up onto the stretcher.

MUSHI: “(This is the risk these wrestlers take, but it doesn’t change the fact this young women could of just had her career ended tonight!)”

Hannah gets rolled out up the ramp way, starting to move her foot now. The fans chant her name, louder and louder now. By the time she gets up to the stage, she starts moving more. She gets to the back now and the chants for her are even louder.

Psycho KGB: “(The fans don’t want this match to end and neither does her opponent. But i don’t see how Rockford can continue after that.)”

A few minutes pass by, with everyone waiting anxiously to see what’s to happen, when ring announcer, Fumio Daemura gets up.

Fumio Daemura: “(This match has been declared a no co-)”

???: “I’m not dead yet! Lets keep this shit going!”

MUSHI: “(No way thats…)”

It’s Hannah Rockford! She comes stepping out from the back, ripping off the neckbrace. She limps to the cell, where she climbs back to the top of it. Zombie and her continue to brawl back and forth again, to a momentous amount of cheers from the fans. Zombie slams her into the middle of the cell once again, causing her to go through the top of the cell now!

Psycho KGB: “(There’s no way she can survive two falls!)”

Hannah goes crashing down through the cell and hard into the canvas below. Zombie stares above at the carnage she’s caused. Looking as Rockford, after a minute sits up and smiles, revealing she lost a tooth. She wipes her bloody nose and out it comes!

MUSHI: “(This woman can’t be killed!)”

Zombie climbs down and kicks her down. She goes for a pin.

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!




















NO!

Rockford kicks out! Somehow some way she kicks out!

Zombie goes to hit her with another german suplex, but it’s reversed into one from Hannah. Her fighting spirit is strong and she won’t give up that easily. Zombie lays into herr some more. Hitting her with a kicking combo and a springboard inverted 450 splash for the win.

Psycho KGB: “(Finally this hellacious match is over! No one can say Rockford didn’t try, she overcame so much, only to fall to the Zombie once again.)”

MUSHI: “(She may of lost the match, but she’s a winner in the fans eyes, do you hear those cheers?)”

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of this match and still IJWF Champion… Fukushima Zombie!)”

Match Nine: XHF Women's Championship Match; Syringes and Test Tubes Death Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Ai Moe Vs. Momoko Honda(C.)

Psycho KGB: “(These two women have plenty of history together, Going back since 2019 when Momoko Honda defeated her for the JET Academy Championship. They faced last year in the JET Rise GP Finals as well. With the results being the same.)”

MUSHI: “(And what were they?)”

Psycho KGB: “(With the star warrior beating the top kawaii machine. Tonight Moe looks for redemption, that’s been her whole story in JET. Never being able to get the big one, but this is J-ROK and this is a different environment.)”

MUSHI: “(One where Honda has found much success in. This match may of seemed random at first, but it’s anything but!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is set for one fall and is a Syringes and Test Tubes Death Match for the XHF Women’s Championship! Introducing first, in the red corner, representing NLW. Standing in at 5’0 and weighing in at 100 pounds from Mito, Ibaraki, Japan she is “The Top Kawaii Machine” Ai Moe!)”

She makes her way down to the ring as she gets a mixed reaction from the JROK crowd.

Fumio Daemura: “(And in the blue corner, standing in at 5’1 and weighing in at 114 pounds, coming from Kyoto, Japan, she is the REIGNING DEFENDING XHF Women’s Champion… she is The Star Warrior… She is Momoko Honda!)”

The fans cheer the first and only two time XHF Women’s Champion right before the bell rings. The match starts off with little fanfare. These two women know each other quiet well and it shows. Blocking strikes. Bobbing and weaving through a violent array of flurries. A spinning backfist from Moe is the first to connect, knocking the champ back for a split second. In that little moment Moe goes for a jumping knee, but it’s blocked and shoved away. Honda behind her now, she hits her with a german suplex right into a pile of test tubes.

Ai screams in pain but is pushed down for a pin attempt. Momoko gets a one count. We see the two continuing to be cautious of their environment, a bit hesitant to really use the weapons. That was at first though. But with the amount of test tubes and syringes in the ring, it’d be hard not to use them. Ai would slam Honda into a pile of tubes herself. Giving her some medicine of her own.

Later in the match we see Moe get Honda locked into an abominable stretch, a move she calls Love So Pure. Ai grabs some syringes and jabs Momoko in the behind with them. Causing more pain. Honda gets out though, and flips Ai into a pile of broken glass. She pulls out the syringes and throws them ringside. The two trade more strikes before hitting a tsunami strike on her.

The match would get violent as the frustration would grow between the too. The desperation of Ai to beat one of her rivals would cause her to take desperate measures. Locking Momoko into a camel clutch and stabbing her again with syringes. They’d poke and hang out of her head now, dangling. Moe would then hit her with a brain buster. Causing a lot of pain. She’d go for a cover and get a two count this time.

The end would see Moe going for a Love is A Battlefield. Moe would get her knee caught though, With Momoko catching it with her neck, holding on and pulling Moe towards her, she’d slam her into a container of syringes, having them cover Moe’s whole body! Honda would hit the earthquaker for good measure and get the victory.

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

Match Ten: Trios Lucha Death Match; 60 Minute Time Limit
Zoran Sainovic, Florida Man, & Miguel Diaz Vs. UZUMAKI (Kira Izumi, Yuki Sakaraba, & James Raymond)

MUSHI: “(The tour isn’t over for X*Crown Champion Zoran Sanovic just yet. Tonight he’s teaming up with YTA Champion Floridaman and a man who’s going to be in the main event tonight, Miguel Diaz.)”

Psycho KGB: “(His opponents are no slouches either. James Raymond, Kira Izumi and a woman who he called out just last month, Yuki Sakaraba are all talented and world class level opponents.)”

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is a trios match under lucha libre rules! Wrestlers will not be required to tag in to be legal. This match will also be two out of three falls. Now introducing first the team of Florida Man, Miguel Diaz, and Zoran Sainovic!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(and their opponents the team of Kira Izumi, Yuki Sakaraba and James Raymond… They are UZUMAKI!)”

The match would start out with James Raymond taking on Miguel Diaz. both would showcase of striking and technical prowess. The two would trade holds and submissions. With Raymond gaining the advantage in the end of the exchange. James would hit him with a Necessary Evil gallows styled lariat that would knock him out of the ring. Causing Zoran to run in. He’d hit him with a Calamity Kick II.

Zoran would fall and roll out of the ring. Florida Man would come into the ring now, hitting Raymond with a fried chicken assisted lariat. The referee doesn’t deem the chicken as a weapon, since it’s food and FM might’ve forgotten he hadn’t finished eating it. James rolls out and in comes Izumi. The owner of J-ROK.

Izumi would play FM’s game and hit him with an itami no izumi, before locking in McDonalds Sprite. A move so toxic, it’s just as deadly as a McDonalds Sprite. Zoran would break it up and keep the first fall free. Izumi would roll out of the ring and we’d see Yuki come in. Hitting the gator from the everglades to meet the fate of his grand daddy, making him experience a mass extinction! James tags in and hits him with the Kishin Hunter out of nowhere. James pins him and gains the first fall for his team.

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of the first fall, UZUMAKI. It’s now 0-1.)”

As the second fall begins, James calls out Zoran. He obliges and comes into the ring, kicking off the second fall of the match. The two would brawl with one another for a bit, before Sainovic would throw a fireball at James! Yuki would come into the ring now, taking on the X* Crown champ. Yuki would be cautious, jabbing the champ here and there. She’d dodge a Harvester and hit him with a mass extinction. Miguel comes in and hits her with a lariat.

Izumi comes in and they trade strikes, before Kira goes high and hits some moonsaults. The second fall would end with Izumi taking a pin fall after getting hit with the revolver from Zoran.

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of the second fall, Zoran, Florida and Miguel! It’s now tied 1-1!)”

We’d see the last fall full of desperation on both sides, seeing they’re equally matched with a fall a piece. Zoran would kick it off against Sakaraba again. Taking some damage and eating some galactic colliders. Yuki would be out of the match for a bit, Seeing James gain advantage for his team. Kira and Florida would go for a wild brawl as well. The end would see Miguel submit Yuki with the Cuban Lock.

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of the third fall and the match, Zoran Sanovic, Miguel Diaz, and Florida Man!)”

Match Eleven: J-ROK Visual Kai Championship Match; J-ROK Singles Rules; 60 Minute Time Limit
Scott Fargo Vs. Dylan Black(C.)

Fumio Daemura: "(The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!)"

Crowd: ONE FALL!

Fumio Daemura: "(And is for the J-ROK Visual Kai Championship!)"

The lights in the arena drop and darken to the gasps of the large crowd in attendance. A video plays on screen.

The opening notes of the Zaibatsu Death Squad's iconic theme song begins blasting through the speakers and into the arena, sending the people into a frenzy. A single spotlight shines down on the stage as silhouetted figures makes their way into the spotlight.

Fumio Daemura: "(Introducing the challenger, from Los Angeles, California! Standing at SIX-FEET-TWO-INCHES and weighing in at TWO-HUNDRED-AND-FORTY-POUNDS, representing the ZAIBATSU DEATH SQUAD! THE SHOOTER. SCOTT. FAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRGOOOOOOOOOOOOO!)"

The shot changes to reveal Scott Fargo stepping into the spotlight with a towel draped over his head. The classic ZDS entrance video distorts and the music slows. Static. And then feedback echoes through the speakers. A fuzz heavy guitar riff. Fargo begins bobbing to the music.

THIS IS OUT OF OUR REACH

THIS IS OUT OF OUR REACH

THIS IS OUT OF OUR REACH

THIS IS OUT OF OUR REACH
AND IT'S GROWN

Fargo whips the towel off and holds it above his head as he begins marching toward the ring. He pays the many fans reaching out to him no mind as he walks. Fargo ascends the steps and skirts along the ring apron. He steps through the ropes and tosses the towel away, he unzips his jacket as he turns and faces the entrance way. Complete focus etched on Scott Fargo's face as he waits for his opponent.

Antonio Katō is already in the ring, shooing Fumio out as Fargo raises an eyebrow watching this go down.

Antonio Katō: And now introducing the champion. FIGHTING OUT OF THE RED CORNER. HAILING FROM BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS BUT RESIDING ON THE GREAT ISLAND OF HOKKAIDO! He stands at SIX-FEET-TWO-INCHES and weighed in at TWO-HUNDRED-AND-SEVEN-POUNDS. He is the Anomaly. The Daemon of Mayhem. THE REIGNING, DEFENDING, UNDISPUTED J-ROK VISUAL KAI CHAMPION! DYYYYYYYYLAAAAAAAAAAAAN! BLACK!

The lights dim before an old, very familiar voice rings out across the PA.

"IF YOU DON'T KNOW THIS SONG, TURN THE FUCK AROUND AND WALK ON HOME! SYNYSTER, HIT THIS SHIT!"

We get the four cymbal crashes at the start of "Walk" by Pantera! After a few moments, Dylan emerges from the back, dressed in his old Anomoly-ZDS attire sans the mask. He slowly basks in the cheers from the fanservice before walking down the ramp, shrugging off his vest halfway down. Dylan slides into the ring and stands about mid-ring, staring at Fargo before slowly raising his fist in the air, a smirk on his face as he hands off his championship belt to the referee on hand.

MUSHI: "(This is Dylan's fourth defense with the championship. He's defeated Hayley Grimes, Brendan Harding, and Shizuku Yamamoto. All formidable foes but no one quite like Scott Fargo.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Fargo is a ruthless machine, and he has a win over the Visual Kai Champion. He holds a psychological advantage over the champion!)"

DING-DING! DING-DING!

The two former-easy-going ring generals begin the match by circling each other in the ring like sharks in bloodied water. Fargo goes for a test of strength that Dylan takes before Fargo unleashes a sharp thrust kick to the gut of the champion! Dylan tumbles back as Fargo lays right in on the assault, stomping and kicking away at the champion. Fargo drops a knee on Dylan before dragging his real leg to the outside of the ring, dragging him to the ring post. He wraps it around the post and big boot's Dylan's leg, taking out the base of the Visual Kai Champion. Fargo winds Dylan's leg back and slams it into the post before the ref counts him out. Fargo rolls into the ring and drops a fist onto Dylan's head before a punch from Dylan's robot hand rocks Fargo!

Fargo tumbles back as Dylan crawls over to him, mounting him with a robotic fist trapped on his throat. He chokes out Fargo while yelling at him.

Dylan: TAKE IT EASY MAN! THIS IS JUST A JOKE, CALM DOWN!

Dylan lets go of Fargo's air pipe and grab the back of his head, lifting it up so it's easier to headbutt the life out of him! Dylan smashes cranium to cranium, doing almost as much damage to himself as he does to Fargo. The Shooter pushes him off and Dylan tries to stand up but that leg from earlier, it ain't gonna hold any weight on it. Dylan nearly collapses as Fargo goes to dropkick the leg! But Dylan jumps over it, crashing onto Fargo with an elbow drop from the heavens! Flattening him into a smudge on the mat. Dylan pushes himself to kneel and drives his forearm into Fargo's skull again, and again, and again. Fargo just laughs in his face and grabs Dylan by the sides of the head, crushing his skull. Dylan falls back and tries to push himself to his feet but can't find the strength in his leg to stay up.

MUSHI: "(Fargo really did a number on Dylan's leg. He can barely put weight on it!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Don't you know? Fargo's Heel Hook is one of the most devastating submissions in the game! You don't tap, you get snapped. And he's gonna snap Dylan's let en route to getting the J-ROK Visual Kai Championship.)"

Fargo is quick on the attack with a chop block to the champion, knocking him to the ground before applying a knee bar! Dylan screams and tries to escape the hold but Fargo's got an iron grip on his leg! Dylan manages to flip onto his stomach and begin to drag himself to the ropes. But Fargo switches to a sharpshooter, transitioning the focus to Dylan's lower back while waddling to drag them back to the middle. Dylan sinks his metal fingers into the mat and grabs with all the grip strength he can muster, before Fargo yanks him! Dylan uses the momentum to clip him in the back of his leg and Fargo goes down!

Both wrestlers are on their backs in the rings, holding their legs and rolling in pain. They manage to push to their feet, Dylan hobbling as he gets some feeling back in his leg. Fargo rubs the back of his calf to ease the pain. They make their way to the center of the ring, where they begin to exchange stiff slaps in the middle of the ring. Fargo nailing super fast and impactful slaps while Dylan rears back and slaps the taste out of his mouth again and again!

MUSHI: "(Look at this. Rapid fire from Fargo!)"

Psycho KGB: "(All over the body, all over the head, upstairs-downstairs! Dylan tries to finish him off!)"

Dylan steps back and slaps once, two times, three, four FIVE TIMES! The stiffest of slaps as Fargo falls to his knees! Dylan lifts him up and Irish whips him to the corner, following him with a clothesline into the corner! Fargo falls forward but Dylan pushes him back up and delivers some chops in the corner! Fargo eats it all and grins, before muscling out of the corner and delivering his own chops to the champ! Fargo backs Dylan up before delivering a stiff forearm against the ropes. Fargo sweeps Dylan's legs and pulls him to his knees, trapping his arm, and BAM! BLINDSIDE KNEE! Dylan crumples on the floor and Fargo rolls him over! One, two, kick out! Champ's got fight left!

Fargo: I'm gonna make you regret that!

Fargo grabs the leg of Dylan and locks him in an ankle lock! Dylan sits there motionless, not screaming not in pain. Fargo gets mad as he tries to make Dylan scream in pain, in anger, something! Dylan rolls over and kicks him in the knee, shaking his head.

Dylan: Robot leg, pal. Can't feel pain.

Fargo pushes up and eats an enzuigiri for his troubles! The clang from Dylan's metal leg echoes through the arena. Fargo topples over and Dylan lifts him up, running the ropes for a DISASTERPIECE! Fargo topples and Dylan rubs his knee, before climbing the ropes and drawing a thumb across his throat! He turns around for a MOONSAULT but Fargo gets his knees up, Dylan bounces off his knees and rolls away. Fargo scrambles over and deadlifts Dylan for a snap German suplex! Sending Dylan flying into the corner! Fargo follows with a cannonball but Dylan catches him, he lifts Fargo up in a powerbomb position and PLANTS HIM SQUARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MAT! He stacks Fargo up with a one, two, kick out! The challenger ain't giving up that easy! Dylan slams his fist into the mat, before winding back and knocking Fargo in the jaw!

Psycho KGB: "(POW! Right in the kisser!)"

Fargo rolls over, hands on his jaw as he tries to move it and get some feeling back. Dylan crawls over and Fargo grabs his arm, he pulls him in for a gogoplata! He's choking Dylan out now! Fargo laughs maniacally as Dylan squirms and squeals to get out of the move! But he slowly begins to fade, his efforts decrease as Fargo holds the move tighter than before! Until a few sparks zap out from Dylan's hand and he grabs Fargo in the face, shocking him!

MUSHI: "(Come on ref! That's cheating!)"

Fargo holds his face and recoils in horror as Dylan coughs and regains his breath.

Fargo: I thought this was a fair bout!

Dylan: You walked into a match against me and expected me to treat you fair? I'll treat you as I treat everyone else!

Dylan dropkicks Fargo into the ropes, who rebounds with a stiff European uppercut! Standing Shotgun Blast! Dylan recoils as Fargo stomps on his foot, then backfists him across the face! Dylan crumples on the mat and Fargo lifts him up, going alllll the way up in a standing suplex position! A Jackhammer position! He's got Dylan set up for the Dead End Brainbuster! But Dylan knees him in the skull, they both tumble to the mat together. Dylan pushes himself to his feet and grabs Fargo. No. DYLAN LIFTS FARGO ON HIS SHOULDERS, YOU ALL KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS! RAGNARÖK! RAGNARÖK! But Fargo slips off his shoulders, he grabs Dylan's real leg and TWISTS AROUND, HE'S GOT THAT HEEL HOOK LOCKED IN! THE MOST DEVASTATING FINISHER IN PRO WRESTLING! DYLAN IS SCREAMING!

MUSHI: "(NOWHERE FOR DYLAN TO GO NOW, FARGO HAS THE HOOK SINCHED IN!)"

Psycho KGB: "(YOU KNOW THE RULES MUSHI. NO TAP. JUST SNAP! WE GOT A NEW CHAMPION!)"

Fargo torques and twists that foot as Dylan screams. Are we about to see a repeat of Battle of the Best? Dylan's fist is balled up, he doesn't think he can take the pain-

DING-DING! DING-DING!

MUSHI: "(What's going on? Dylan didn't tap yet!)"

Fumio stands up.

Fumio Daemura: "(Ladies and gentlemen, the time limit for this match has expired! Therefore, this match is a draw, and STILL the J-ROK Visual Kai Champion! Dylan Black!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Oh what the hell!)"

Antonio stands up with the Visual Kai Championship and climbs into the ring, helping his associate up and handing Dylan the gold. Dylan laughs, having deprived the fans of a truly well-fought bout. Fargo exits the ring, not entirely dejected by the draw but disappointed he wasn't able to put the champion away.

MUSHI: "(And the champ's reign lives for another day.)"

Psycho KGB: "(Oh great, and now he's got something to say.)"

Antonio collects a microphone and holds it out to his King. Dylan pants into the mic, before pointing up the ramp at Fargo.

Dylan: Hey. I'm not finished with you yet.

He holds his stomach and grimaces, kneeling in the ring.

Dylan: Fargo... you put up a hell of a fight, but it turns out that you are not going to be the guy to take my spot. Not now, not ever. You got what you asked for and now you aren't owed SHIT.

Take a second to recompose.

Dylan: But, now that you've been given what you wanted, I think it's time I call my shot. I don't care where and I don't care when. You know that you can beat me, we saw that happen three years ago at Battle of the Best. However, I need to know if I can beat you. You got your chance. So I want you. One more time. Title, no title, I don't give a shit what old man Izumi says. But let's run it one more time. Fargo-Black 3.

Beat.

Dylan: LIGHTS. OUT. DEATH MATCH!

Fargo struggles to his knee, he clutches his neck again.

Fargo: YOU WANT DEATH, DYLAN BLACK?! HUH?! YOU WANT DEATH?!

Fargo relaxes and falls back into his previous slump, a calmness washes over him. He sighs. Fargo then looks to the camera coldly.

Fargo: Then death is what you’ll receive.

Fargo pauses, a sick smile creeps across his face.

Fargo: I will leave your body for your mother to bathe in her tears of grief and I will take your championship and your throne for myself. I don’t care where it happens. I’ll let you pick the hill you die on!

The crowd pops as Fargo turns around and walks back through gorilla.

MUSHI: "(Dylan and Fargo's battle is over tonight but the war is far from over!)"

Psycho KGB: "(Fargo may have bitten off more than he could chew. Dylan could outlast the assault tonight. What happens if Dylan gets Fargo in an unrestricted match?!)"

Main Event: King of Hokkaido 2022 Finals; No DQ Death Match; No Time Limit
Brendan Harding Vs. Miguel Diaz

Psycho KGB: “(Now tonights the moment we’ve been building and waiting for all month! When Miguel Diaz wins the KOH Tournament.)”

MUSHI: “(It’s anyones game tonight and this match has the future of the company in it’s hands with both of these men.)”

Fumio Daemura: “(This match is the King of Hokkaido 2022 Finals! And has no time limit. Introducing first, in the red corner, Standing in at 6’2 and weighs in at 222 pounds, from Camden, London, England, he is Dr.Zen… Brendan Harding!)”

Fumio Daemura: “(And his opponent in the blue corner, standing in at 6’1 and weighing in at 208 pounds, from Chicago, Illinois, USA, he is Miguel Diaz!)”

Diaz would get a chorus of boos as Harding would get a choir of cheers. Both men want this win, need this win to make their careers. To push them well into that next level. Both men would start with a lock up. Harding and Diaz trying to out power one another. With the gang leader getting advantage wringing in the doctors arm with an arm lock. Diaz would focus on that arm the entire match up. Trying to weaken it up for his kimura lock.

Harding would try weakening the arms and shoulders of Diaz as well. The match would be very technical and catch based compared to some other matches. At one time They’d get into an exchange of holds. With Brendan grabbing hold of Miguels wrist, and spinning underneath his arm, causing some pressure to it. He’d drop down, but Diaz would pull him and cause Harding to flip onto his back. He’d wrap Harding’s arm around his throat, trying to choke him out.

Harding would get out of it, getting up and hitting him with a ripcord lariat. Harding keeps hold of the wrist, He lays into him with some european uppercuts, before hitting him with a short armed version of his thannix cannon. Harding would go for a pin attempt and get a two count.

Miguel would catch Harding off guard, hitting him with a big boot and a military press. Dropping him hard. He’d hit him with a few grounded strikes as well. Before throwing him into the corner and lifting him up for a superplex. A pin attempt and a two count for him as well!

Psycho KGB: “(Neither of these men are going to give in! They both want this win so bad!)”

The two would start trading blows again, getting into a chopfest. The chops louder and harder after each hit. Miguel chopping Harding into the corner, hitting him with come machine gun chops. Harding would dodge one and hit Miguel with some of his own. The two would then chop each other into the middle of the ring. With Diaz hitting Brendan with a rolling kesagiri chop to end the chopfest.

They’d then start hitting each other with forearms, eventually both dropping down to their knees. With cheers and boos for each man. The fans would energize them both and we’d see them forearm each others faces to pulp.

Another pin attempt, but no cigar. Neither man can keep the other down. But we’d be close to the end after seeing Miguel lock on his Cuban lock. Harding would struggle before spinning out and getting his Camden lock locked in instead. The two would switch back and forth, before Harding would get up to his feet and spin Diaz into a Zen Driver.

ONE!

TWO!!

THREE!!!

Fumio Daemura: “(Your winner of this match, And 2022 King of Hokkaido! Brendan Harding!)”/color]

Psycho KGB: "(Harding did it! He won the tournament!)"

Kira comes down and hands him the KoH Trophy and the million Yen check. Harding celebrates his win in the ring.

MUSHI: "(What a show! What a finals! Thanks everyone for watching the show and we'll catch you next month!)"
