The first match of the pre show and the first match of the night itself would go off to a good start for a returning Allyson Hydecker and 蘭丸. They'd get some good moves in on Toyama and Brit-Knee, but it wouldn't be too long before the other team would get in some offense. Natsu would get a spear of destiny and a two count. 蘭丸 would come back and land some stiff blows as well as a nice combo too. In the later stages of the match we'd see Brit-Knee manage to hit her finisher, a shining wizard, she calls the Knee to Face for the win.
The match consisted of a nice contest between the RSW wrestler and the SSS wrestler. It ended after Marcus pined Nikko for the three.
In a dead end street in Tokyo
I finished my bottle all alone
Where I'll end up well I just don't know
Another dead end in Tokyo
I finished my bottle all alone
Where I'll end up well I just don't know
Another dead end in Tokyo
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Welcome to our biggest show of the year! We have many guests tonight and many matches as well!)"
Kayako Kai: "(We have many grudges to be settled and many titles to be defended tonight too! This is our second annual Winter Festival and it's starting right now!)"
Kayako Kai: "(We have many grudges to be settled and many titles to be defended tonight too! This is our second annual Winter Festival and it's starting right now!)"
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Here we are folks, with the first match of the main card to SSS’s Winter Festival 2018! It’s a rematch from last month when the Pretty Committee beat the Sisters of The Rose with some dirty tactics.)”
Kayako Kai: “(It was Alexis Grace who demanded a rematch afterwards for tonight too! We’ll see if luck is on their side tonight or if we’ll get a similar result tonight.)”
The match would start off hot and heavy with an aggressive and pissed off Alexis Grace unleashes chops and forearms on a surprised Bianca Davis, who just like her partner tonight decided to wear matching santa themed gear. The match mainly consisted of the Pretty Committee cowering behind the ref or running around while playing mind games and pissing off the Sisters even more.
The Pretty Committee would go one to get some actual offense at one point in the match and manage to actually get a two count by the surprise of them and the fans packed into Ryogoku tonight. It came after Bianca would distract Sabrina and Veronica would roll her up into a small package. The Sisters of The Rose would come back though with series of combos and strikes before going for their Death From A Rose, double superkick combo. Veronica would duck them and her and Bianca would manage to get the upper hand again landing some stereo dropkicks and rolling up Sabrina again with a gedo clutch, while also holding onto the ropes to get another dirty win.
Kayako Kai: “(Another cheap victory for the Pretty Committee!)”
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(You gotta wonder where this will end though. It’s just getting worse and worse each night!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(And your winners of this match, The Pretty Committee!)”
Kayako Kai: “(It was Alexis Grace who demanded a rematch afterwards for tonight too! We’ll see if luck is on their side tonight or if we’ll get a similar result tonight.)”

Yumiko Kanagawa: “(This next match is the debut of Dark Horse Wrestling in the mainstream! They’ve sent over their most impressive of teams, The Dark Brothers tonight!)”
Kayako Kai: “(You have to think how the ring rust from Kaylor and the previous match of Nakata will effect them tonight. I’m sure it’s going to be a tough match to win for them.)”
The match would start off with Gabby and Victor going at it with tie ups and reversals. Gabby would try to manage and get some advantage but only manage to get beaten down each time. Nikko would manage to tag in and get some stiff strikes to knock down the dark brothers but it wouldn’t last for too long.
Nikko would meet a Morning Meeting Kinshasa from Michael sometime into the match. But she would give him some too and hit him right back with a flash hip attack before both would go down. Both teams would get hot tags before Victor and Gabby would rush each other and meet in the middle of the ring with a barrage of strikes and chops onto one another. Victor would eventually manage to hit the Darkness Matters Canadian Destroyer on Kaylor for the win.

Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Our next match takes us outside. Our next match will see the largest pro wrestler on the XHF Network, The Demon Dreadvan, taking on the last alien from planet ultra, Ultra Kira fighting each other in a Kaiju Deathmatch!)”
Kayako Kai: “(This is the most bizarre matches on the card and two of the most odd wrestlers we’ve ever seen! This match i’m sure will make all the nerds happy, especially those Kaiju nerds!)”
The match doesn’t start with a tie up or even the two… men punch each other, but instead like a classic Kaiju movie or battle scene we get a few shots of the scenery and the mock up of Tokyo. Ultra Kira and Dreadvan stare each other down before they start grabbing buildings and throwing them at each other. The two charge each other and Dreadvan is met with a drop kick from Ultra Kira. Ultra then tries to pick him up and slam him, but he can’t lift the large athlete.
Instead Dreadvan hits him with mongolian chops and knocks him down. Dreadvan roars and causes buildings to shake and explosions to go around them. Ultra Kira kneels down, clutching his ears. He sees a car laying next to him, where he chucks it at Dreadvan, but Dreadvan just consumes the vehicle and lets out a seismic burp that causes windows to shatter and ears to bleed. Ultra Kira spins and manages to unleash a small blast of energy at his enemy.
Dreadvan gets hit and falls to one knee. He sees a heard of sheep, or is that people? And grabs them up like a hand full of nuts. He eats them and grows his power. He gets back up and is met with a punch from Ultra Kira, who gets bounced back. Dreadvan grabs a tree and clubs him with it, causing him to bleed a bit. He sees two buses though and manages to use them as roller skates. Kira skates towards Dreadvan and tries to spear him with the Tokyo Tower, but only gets bounced back again as Dreadvans body fat is too thick to do much damage. Dread has had enough and makes his way to Mount Fuji, after drinking up the lake in front of it. Dreadvan starts grabbing at the clouds as if he thinks their cotton candy. Ultra Kira has had enough and so has his time on earth, as his chest starts to beep, signaling for him to end this battle.
He charges up his ultimate and killer move, スペシウム光線, a laser strike and hits Dreadvan square in the chest with it. Dreadvan clutches his chest as if he’s having a heart attack, which knowing him could very well be a possibility, and he begins to fall off of mount fuji… right onto Ultra Kira. Ultra Kira is squished flat like a pancake and the last thing we hear is his muffled screams, which turn into silence after a thunderous fart from Dreadvan, right into his face, which causes him to be blown into the next universe.
Karin Wholfe: “Your winner of this match, The XHF European Champion, ‘The Demon’ Dreadvan!)”
Kayako Kai: “(I don’t know what the heck we saw, but our next match is up next!)”

Kayako Kai: “(I don’t know what the heck we saw, but our next match is up next!)”
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(We’re sorry for what you had to see in the ending moments of that last match, but now we move onto a grudge match that’s been building up for a few months between these two ladies.)”
Kayako Kai: “(That’s right, these have been talking alot of trash over recent months and now after a few alterations they come head to head for the first time in singles action!)”
The match starts off with Dixie Kixx trying to get under the skin of Lisa Frankenstein. She’d spend a good portion of the opening match taunting Lisa and running in and out of the ring. It wouldn't last for too though. Lisa would manage to catch her by a handful of her hair and get her back into the ring, where she’d lay into her with clubbing strikes to her chest.
Lisa would have her way with Dixie for a few more minutes into the match before Kixx would mount a comeback and use some more dirty tricks to try and pick up a win. A few roll up attempts would only go so far with Dixie, but wouldn’t mount to much in the end of the sequence. It would help her gain her breath and get a slight advantage though, as it just pissed off Lisa and would ruin what game plan she had. Wit a furious Frankenstein making mistakes and being a bit more sloppy then we’re used to Kixx would try to take advantage and would try to get her up into her deadly Burning Hammer finisher already.
Lisa would land on her feet though, and instead drop Dixie with a drop kick. Towards the end she’d mount a comeback and get the eventual win tonight with her patent Hovering Butterfly Alligator Clutch flash pin after an irish whip transition from the too.

Yumiko Kanagawa: “(This next match came from a man who we’ll be seeing shortly, after he jumped our guard rails and attacked our Pride of Sakura Champion. He humiliated Momoko Honda in front of our Osaka crowd last month, but tonight the former owner of New Blood Pro Wrestling will face off against Momoko Honda!)”
The arena fades to darkness as the opening chorus of "Der König Der Dunkelheit" blasts. Logos of the Masuda Corporation go across the BloodTron 4000. As the guitar builds, fog floods the entrance ramp where a number of black shirts, all baring The Master's name, bow before his entrance to the stage. Guitars pick up when a dozen of the Ikeda Clan form a column wearing secret service all-black suits and glasses along with visible earpieces. Videos of his submissions go across the screen with waving war banners bearing his family name.
Kayako Kai: “(What a despicable man! What a powerful man! And man oh man do i love it!)”
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 tot the nearest corner and awaits for the official to start the match.
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(And here she comes, the Pride of Sakura Champion! This will be the first match to go under Pride rules in SSS and the first time the title has been defended since changing to a more shoot styled title. We’ll see if SSS’s ultimate underdog can pull off the upset of the century or if Jubei Masuda will take the Pride of Sakura championship back home with him!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(This match is set under Pride rules and can be won by K.O., T.K.O., verbal forfeit, or submission. Introducing first, in the red corner, Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan; he is “The Master” Jubei Masuda!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(And his opponent, from Kyoto, Japan she is the second and current Pride of Sakura champion, She is is Momoko Honda!)”
The match started off as many would of likely expected, Jubei being aggressive and being the vicious monster he’s known as. Early on he land thunderous strikes to Momoko, who tries to block some and dodge others. Many of which, to her credit she does, but those that connect she will feel into the next year surely.
The match would continue on with Momoko being beaten to an uncomfortable amount. This match was certainly not for those with weak stomachs, as everytime Momoko would get rallied up by the fans Masuda would chop her right back down. The middle of the match would see Momoko getting a slight hint at offence as she starts landing some strikes to ‘The Master’s’ neck area. He gets blown back a bit and staggers. Momoko would use some of her speed to knock him down and lock in a submission, which he’d manage to break out of.
Masuda and Honda would manage to throw reversals and submissions back and forth before Honda would be caught in an ankle lock. She’d get some massive damage to her ankle before she got out of the submission.
Towards the closing sequences of the match Masuda would catch Honda in his ultimate finisher, the Gouf Custom, a Gotch Style Piledriver, which for him is a very rare move to see. He’d try to knock her out with it, but she managed to get back to her feet before the 10 count. Momoko would manage to catch him in her Earth Quaker, a take on a cross armed neckbreaker, before locking in an alligator roll like submission move, trying to make him tap. He’d use up a rope break to get out, but not for long as Honda would land some more viscous blows leading up to her getting the win after a 10th Happy landing onto the neck of Jubei, causing the referee to call the match in Honda’s favor.
Karin Wholfe: “(Your winner and STILL! The Pride of Sakura Champion, Momoko Honda!)”

Karin Wolfe: "(The following contest is a Mixed Tag Team Match!)"
The arena goes black as the intro to “The Day Is My Enemy” starts as the lights flash to the beat of the song, once the song picks up the lights come back on to show Hanna Rockford walking out with the look of violence in her eyes. She marches her way down to the ring and enters the ring, heading to her corner and awaiting her partner.
Karin Wolfe: "(Introducing first, from Wexford Town, Co, Wexford, Ireland. Weighing in tonight at 165 pounds, she is The Black Heart... Hanna Rockford!)"
The arena fills to black, as the beat kicks in the lights flicker to the beat, slowly bringing light to the arena. Then, the beat drops and all the lights shine a bright red as out from the curtain is Maverick with his arms stretched out and a smirk on his face as he looks out into the crowd. He makes his way down to ringside and ignores all the hands reaching out to him, as he makes his way to ringside, he walks around the ring before climbing up to the apron and looking out to the crowd. He climbs into the ring and stands directly in the middle with the spotlight shining down, looking out to the crowd.
Karin Wolfe: "(And her partner, residing in Hollywood, California. Weighing in tonight at 192 pounds, he is The Iconic Prince... Maverick!)"
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(What do you think of this 'Power Couple', Kayako?)"
Kayako Kai: "(They look so cute together, just look at them! So cute!)"
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(The Black Heart and The Godslayer, what a duo these two could be)"
Rukia comes out as the music blares through the speakers. She shows love to her fans. She arrogantly walks down the ramp way and makes her way into the ring before going into her corner.
Karin Wolfe: "(And their opponents, firstly, from Matsuyama, Ehime, Japan. Weighing in tonight at 118 pounds, she is The Supa Seiyu... Rukia Matsuoka!)"
The song begins to play as the lights start pulsating blues and whites. Jordan comes out from the back with a giant American and Rebel flag behind him.
I bid farewell to old Kentucky,
The place where I was born and raised
(The place where he was born and raised)
He starts to pull out bamboo spewers out of his pocket and points towards his opponents or ref, which ever is out there at the time. He walks down the ramp way looking at the fans and walking around the ring.
You can bury me in some deep valley,
For many years where I may lay
Then you may learn to love another,
While I am sleeping in my grave
(While he is sleeping in his grave)
He starts to "stab" at his heart with the spewers and slowly gets closer and closer to the ground as he gets up the steps. He climbs up to the top rope and flips off the booing crowd. Jordan gets down and walks over to the other three corners and repeats the process. He gets into the middle of the ring before doing a cut throat motion and spiking the bamboo spewers into the mat.
Karin Wolfe: "(Next, her partner, from Lexington, Kentucky. Weighing in tonight at 210 pounds, he is The Hardcore Redneck... Jordan Rayburn!)"
Kayako Kai: "(I guess you can say these two are also battling for XHF Power Couple.)"
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Does Jordan really count since he hasn't wrestled in months?)"
Kayako Kai: "(¯\_(ツ)_/¯)"
The match begins as both Maverick and Rayburn start off, both in a Collar and Elbow Tie Up. Rayburn delivers a kick to the shin of Maverick, who falls to one knee, but Maverick counters from it to get behind Rayburn and hit a Release German Suplex onto Rayburn. He lands on the back of his neck as Maverick gets cocky and asks for blood from Rayburn. Rayburn tries to hit a Lariat on Maverick but he leaps over Rayburn and then lays on the mat in a Tranquilo position, then flipping Rayburn off.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Looks like Maverick is staying Tranquilo about things, or so we thought.)"
Rayburn doesn't take too kindly to this and hits a kick to Maverick's face, he rolls out of the ring but Rukia seizes her opportunity and connects a Meteora on Maverick from the ring apron. Rukia is all smiles as Rayburn watches in joy but running past him is Hanna as she connects a Suicide Dive through the second rope, knocking down Rukia.
Kayako Kai: "(Finally, Hanna gets some action in this match!)"
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(I'm sure there's better wording to be used for that...)"
Rayburn rebounds himself off the ropes but is caught in the gut by Maverick who goes shoulder first into Rayburn, Maverick gets one leg over the second rope and launches himself through the second rope and somehow hits a CANADIAN DESTROYER!
Crowd: "(Holy Shit! Holy Shit! Holy Shit!)"
Kayako Kai: "(AMAZING! JUST AMAZING!)"
The fans are shocked to what Maverick just done, they've never seen a move like that before! Maverick makes the pin!
[...ONE!...]
[...TWO!...]
[...KICKOUT!...]
Rayburn raises his shouler high. Hanna tosses a small, black, plastic bag into the ring as it lands by Maverick's feet. Maverick leaves it in the corner as he prepares for one of his trademark moves, the Running Single Leg Dropkick. He stomps to get the crowd on his side as Rayburn gets to his feet, Maverick runs at full speed and lifts the leg up but Rukia pushes Rayburn out of the way and took the bullet for him. She took the "Decapitator", falling face first onto the mat hard. Rayburn knocks some sense into himself and drops Maverick with his Stump Piledriver, most known as "Sadistic Desire". But, Hanna comes from behind Rayburn and hits her Rainmaker Lariat finisher, "Killswitch". She's not legal in the match and neither is Rukia, Hanna throws her out of the ring and gets back into her own corner. Both Maverick and Rayburn are struggling to get to their feet, Maverick gets to his feet first and hits the "Decapitator" on Rayburn, a pinfall is made by Maverick!
[...ONE!...]
[...TWO!...]
[...THRE- RUKIA BREAKS THE PIN!...]
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Rukia with the save! This match goes on! All four are out for blood and to win at all costs!)"
Crowd: "(This is AWESOME! clap clap clapclapclap This is AWESOME! clap clap clapclapclap)"
Rukia hits a forearm smash on Hanna, knocking her off the apron. Rukia grabs the bag left in the corner and opens it up to reveal skewers, Rukia grabs a handful as Maverick looks at her confusingly. The referee tries to take the weapon out of Rukia's hand but is caught with a dropkick from Rayburn when Maverick stepped out of the way. Rukia goes low with a kick, dropping Maverick to his knees. Rayburn grabs a hold of Maverick and pulls him up to his feet, Rukia has a handful of skewers in her hand and there's no referee to stop this, Rukia takes a step back and pushes the skewers into... Rayburn's head! Maverick ducked the attack and Rayburn took the skewers and they are jammed into his head.
Kayako Kai: "(OH MY GOD!)"
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(I think I'm going to be sick...)"
Hanna enters the ring and hits her with "Killswitch", flooring Rukia. Maverick takes one step back and hits a devastating Superkick he calls an "Iconkick", lodging the skewers further into Rayburn's head but he doesn't fall. Maverick rebounds off the ropes and connects the "Decapitator" on Rayburn. Maverick makes the pin as another referee comes down to make the pinfall.
[...ONE!...]
[...TWO!...]
[...THREE!...]
Karin Wolfe: "(And the winners of the Mixed Tag Match are Hanna Rockford and Maverick!)"
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(My god, what a nightmare. Thank god this match is over, I couldn't bare to see anymore.)"
Kayako Kai: "(But, there they are, Maverick and Hanna Rockford are winners in this match!)"
Yumiko Kanagawa: “( Our next match is for the Angles of Sakura Championship and will see a renewed rivalry between our first and second ever champs.)”
Kayako Kai: “(That’s right and if their last encounters are anything to go by, then this should be a contender for match of the night!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(This match is scheduled for one fall! And is for the Angles of Sakura Championship. Introducing first, In the blue corner, hailing from Japan, hey are the duo of Mei Nakahara and Sakuya Goto. They are Skyland Paradise!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(And their opponents, in the red corner! They come from America and are the second and current Angles of Sakura Champions, They are the team of Kaya Rayleigh and Ashlyn Moon! They! Are! Velocity 54*!)”
This match started off with a hand shake between all four competitors before it was Mei and Kaya who would start things off. We would see both try to work on the legs or arms of the other in hopes of slowing the other down later or weakening their signature and finisher moves.The two would land strikes and suplexes.
The opening stages after that would continue to gradually get faster and faster before Sakuya would get a blind tag and land a huge Flash step, super, kick onto Kaya. She’d only gain a one count for her troubles but it’d help her gain some slight control in the match.
That is, until Ashlyn came into the match. The two opponents in the ring would continue trying for big moves, but knowing each other so well they block or counter them into other moves. The match would end though, after a second set of their TM32 combo.
Karin Wholfe: “(Your winners of this match and STILL Angles of Sakura, Velocity 54*!)’
Kayako Kai: “(That’s right and if their last encounters are anything to go by, then this should be a contender for match of the night!)”

The opening stages after that would continue to gradually get faster and faster before Sakuya would get a blind tag and land a huge Flash step, super, kick onto Kaya. She’d only gain a one count for her troubles but it’d help her gain some slight control in the match.
That is, until Ashlyn came into the match. The two opponents in the ring would continue trying for big moves, but knowing each other so well they block or counter them into other moves. The match would end though, after a second set of their TM32 combo.
Karin Wholfe: “(Your winners of this match and STILL Angles of Sakura, Velocity 54*!)’
Fade in.
The forever angry woman known as STRiFE is seen sitting against the wall in a dark hallway. She wanted to be alone before her match. She wanted to focus. Her eyes give off acute looks; she doesn’t look at the camera, even though she’s aware of its presence. The Idols of Sakura Championship is on the ground next to her.
STRiFE: Winter Festival…
Hmm. Her voice is calm, for once.
STRiFE: It’s crazy how things come full circle. This time last year, I was invited to compete at Winter Festival. It was my first introduction into the company. My opponent? Sang-Hyun Lee. The match? A sixty minute submission match.
A head shake.
STRiFE: Not every wrestler is built for that type of match. Most people would collapse midway through and have to get carted off. However, I was built for that match. I won’t say it was light work; but, I’ll say that the voluminous amounts of training that I have endured over the years helped me out quite a bit. And to Sang-Hyun’s credit, he was built for the match. He survived—until he made a mistake.
A chuckle.
STRiFE: And if you want to win, you can’t make mistakes around me. I don’t let them pass me by. I capitalize.
She’s silent and still for five seconds.
STRiFE: Sang-Hyun’s mistake? He took too much time trying to put me away. He tried to be cute and fancy, but it backfired. Alexis Grace? Her mistake was hubris. I won’t be a bitch. Alexis had a godly championship reign. Everyone who tried to step up to her got smacked down. So I understand why she was so confident. I understand why she thought no one could touch her. Hell, no one had even pinned her in singles competition at that point.
She snaps her fingers.
STRiFE: Unfortunately for her, she didn’t account for a pissed off and humiliated monster at Sakura Genesis Eight.
A nod of the head.
STRiFE: I’m not going to be like my previous opponents. I’m not going to make a fatal mistake tonight.
The Idols of Sakura belt found its way onto her lap.
STRiFE: Miracle Masami. You know, I saw you the other day. My wife, Blaise, wanted to watch Joshi Extreme Takeover. Kyoto Spotlight, I think it was? You and your partner took on KAGUYA-Gun’s c-squad team. You and your partner took a beating, that’s for sure. But you endured. And you Miracle? You secured the win for your team. Sweet!
A headshake.
STRiFE: I bet you think that momentum is going to carry over, don’t you? You think you’ve got the skill to just waltz into this match and take what’s mine. And maybe you do…
There’s a bout of silence.
STRiFE: Or maybe what happened to Alexis is going to happen to you? Maybe you’re going to get a pissed off and humiliated STRiFE. Maybe you’re going to get the STRiFE that’s ready to prove that she’s better than every single wrestler on the damn event.
Another head nod.
STRiFE: Yeah. That’s the one you’ll probably be facing. And that spells certain doom for you.
Another bout of silence.
STRiFE: Bring your worst, Miracle. But just know this. I refuse to let go of this championship belt tonight. I refuse to suffer defeat this early on. I’m going to continue to redefine this belt. And I’m going to continue to show how much of a behemoth I really am.

Fade to black.
“Babylonian Gorgon” by The Bags hits and the crowd pops. Hanako Takeuchi steps out with a confident, broad-shouldered stride. It doesn't take her long to get to the ring.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Folks before we start to dive into the statistics of this matchup, we just want to thank all of you for sticking with us throughout this year’s Winter Festival as we start off the second half of the show with a classic tag match!)"
Kayako Kai: "(Yeah and I heard Hanako has a certain someone fighting alongside her tonight. Someone she’s known for quite a while now.)"
“Midnight Violence Rock N’ Roll” by Guitar Wolf starts to play on the speakers and stepping out onto the stage is The Backslide Genius himself, Masatake Kawamata. A cigarette hangs from his lips while a steel chair rests over his shoulder as he gives the crowd a wide grin to the warm reception. In due time, he makes his way down to the ring, joining Hanako in the squared circle.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(And the certain someone is none other than her boyfriend, Masatake Kawamata. A very well known deathmatch wrestler which is rather contrasted to what SSS prides itself on.)"
Kayako Kai: "(Well at the same time Yumi-chan, Masatake is also the type to know when he has to fight clean in a match. If this was no holds barred or some kind of wacko demented deathmatch, then we’d be seeing something completely different from SSS standards.)"
The rapid start of "REVIVER" starts to blast on the speakers, bringing the crowd onto their feet as Raiden strides out onto the stage, pausing at the top of the ramp to look around at the crowd. Nodding to himself, he proceeds down the ramp, slapping hands with some of the fans before rolling into the ring. Bringing himself back onto his feet, he walks over to the far corner, jumping up onto the middle turnbuckle and raising an arm into the air to loud cheers from the fans in the first few rows. Jumping down from the perch, he turns and leans back into the corner, waiting for the match to begin.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(And speaking of well-known people, here’s someone who’s been making a name for themselves in the XHF Network and that is Raiden Ishimori who, despite not being a champion, is certainly a worthy adversary in any kind of match.)"
Kayako Kai: "(That he is and he isn’t exactly the one to back down from a fight either especially with the fact that he’s been placed in so many multi-man matches that it’s almost amazing that he hasn’t burned himself out.)"
“Second Limit” by MY FIRST STORY starts to play with the rhythmic tapping of the drums and the slow strums of the guitar before turning into a full-on jam blast as it picks up in tempo. A figure walks out from the back, sporting a sleeveless sweatshirt with the hood up, covering most of their face. Rather nonchalantly they carry themselves to the ring, rolling in under the bottom rope only to pop up back up to their feet in a quick manner as they go to join Raiden in their respective corner.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Well on the card it said Raiden had a partner in the form of a man by the name of Takuma Okazaki, or Big Tiger as he’s collectively known by some folks.)"
Kayako Kai: "(Big Tiger? Isn’t that name from Tiger Ma-)"
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(HUSH! I’M JUST READING WHAT’S ON THE STAT SHEET. DON’T GET US SUED!)"
Kayako Kai: "(AS IF WE ALMOST DIDN’T GET SUED LAST TIME OUT!)"
The bell sounds off, drawing everyone’s attention over to Karin Wholfe as she steps into the center of the ring.
Karin Wholfe: "(The following contest is a Tag Team match with a 60 minute time limit set for one fall! In the blue corner, standing at 5’11” and 6’0” respectively, weighing in at a combined total of 364 lbs, from Kawagasaki, Osaka, Japan, “The Black Rose” Hanako Takeuchi, “The Backslide Genius” Masatake Kawamata, The Osaka Rebels!)"
The crowd erupts into loud cheers for the wrestling couple as they pump their fists into the air, playing to the crowd before the noise dies down as Kharin prepares for the second set of introductions.
Karin Wholfe: "(And their opponents, standing in the red corner, standing at 6’½” and 6’2” respectively, weighing in at a combined total of 455 lbs, hailing from Osaka, Japan, “Bone Cold” Raiden Ishimori, “Big Tiger” Takuma Okazaki, The Ronin!)"
Raiden simply raises an arm into the air while Takuma peels his hood off his head, revealing his face before stripping himself of the sweatshirt to show off his gear underneath it. The crowd gives off cheers for Raiden but there’s a mixed reception for Takuma with the people in attendance not really knowing much about the man.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Rebels vs Ronin. Almost goes hand in hand.)"
Kayako Kai: "(Considering what both terms have in common, I can see your point..)"
Masatake and Takuma step out onto the apron in their respective corners, leaving Hanako and Raiden in the ring as the bell rings to signal the start of the match. The two start to circle the ring, trying to size one another up before going in for the collar-and-elbow tie up, trying to slip past one another’s guard. After some struggle, Raiden manages to succeed in maneuvering behind Hanako, only to pick her up and slam her down into the mat, keeping the rear waistlock secured as The Black Rose struggles in his grasp. Shifting her legs around, she starts to push up off the mat with Raiden still latched onto her before knocking him off with a few elbows to the side of the head. Just as she goes to rear back for a punch, Raiden expertly spisn a full 180, clocking Hanako square in the face with a cracking back elbow.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(That one certainly echoed.)"
Kayako Kai: "(And hurt.)"
Hanako is left visibly stunned as she stumbles back, clutching at her nose to ensure it isn’t broken or bleeding from the stiff shot. Seeing no sign of the crimson fluid, she shakes her head in order to regain her bearings before charging at Ishimori with a head full of steam. Without so much time as to ready a defensive stance, Raiden gets floored by a high penalty kick to the chest, leaving him gasping on the mat for air. Looking to further capitalize on the opening, Hanako stomps away at the downed Osakan, forcing him to cover up before the referee has to interject, warning Hanako to ease off. Taking the window of opportunity, Raiden rolls away to his corner, tagging in Takuma, who casually enters the ring, staring The Black Rose down with cold eyes.
Yumiko Kanagawa: ("There may not be much of a difference height wise but those muscles...")
Kayako Kai: ("I’m interested to see how this plays out.")
Attempting to blitz the muscular foe, Hanako rushes in with a rebel yell, leaping into the air but is easily caught by the burly Takuma, throwing her forward where she expertly lands on her feet before charging in once more. Just as she prepares to jump, she’s immediately floored by a massive big boot from Takuma that sends her crashing into the mat. Without missing a beat, Takuma yanks her off the mat, weaving his arm across her chest, throwing her arm over his shoulder only to lift her into the air and spike her down into the mat with a vicious slam.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Um...ow.)"
Kayako Kai: "(That may be painful to you but knowing who Hanako has trained with, we all know that isn’t the worst hit she’s taken in her career.)"
Rolling over onto her stomach, Hanako tries to crawl over to her partner only to be dragged back by Takuma who slaps on a painful looking camel clutch, forcefully yanking up on the woman’s neck that leaves her struggling under the man’s weight. The referee asks if she submits but The Black Rose shakes her head in response, signaling she won’t give in so easily. Unsatisfied with the work so far, Takuma pulls up on Hanako’s neck even more, eliciting another pained groan as the struggle ensues. Soon enough, Masatake steps into the ring, yelling at Takuma who in turn drops the hold as he tries to goad The Backslide Genius into fighting. The two start to draw closer to one another but the referee quickly interjects, ushering Masatake back to his corner while Takuma brushes it off as he looks to continue his work on Hanako. Pulling her up by the hair, he rears back for a punch only for Hanako to knock him off balance by breaking free of his grip and stunning him with a spinning back fist.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Oh boy, here comes the striking fury of The Black Rose!)"
Kayako Kai: "(Takuma can’t cover up all that well after that back fist.)"
Constantly, Hanako tries to grab at Takuma’s head while sending knee strike after knee strike into the man’s midsection, backing him up until he’s pressed up against the ropes. Snaking her arms through, she locks her hands behind Takuma’s neck and starts to load her Muay Thai knee strikes even quicker as she holds Big Tiger in place, pummeling his insides with each strike. Keeping her hold firmly around the neck, she drags Takuma over to the corner, tagging in Masatake and handing Big Tiger over to him.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(And The Backsliding Genius has now entered the fray!)"
Kayako Kai: "(You wanna make a bet as to how long it will be before chaos ensues, Yumi-chan?)"
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(That’d be silly, Kai-chan. Masa-kun knows when to keep it clean so have faith in him.)"
Kayako Kai: "(Kind of hard to when the guy is known for spilling blood and hitting people over the head with steel chairs.)"
Whirling Takuma around, Masatake sends him overhead with a snap suplex, firmly planting Big Tiger into the mat. He rolls through, keeping a hold on Takuma and shifts his grip around to where he tries to irish whip the man into the corner but Takuma stands his ground, refusing to budge. Seizing the chance, Takuma sends a powerful knee straight into Masatake’s gut, just about draining his lungs of any air before turning to whip The Backslide Genius into the corner but instead he runs up the turnbuckles and comes flying back at Takuma, taking him down with a cross body block and hooking the leg.
ONE!
TW- KICKOUT!
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(That was graceful to watch but it’s going to take a lot to put any of these competitors down.)"
Kayako Kai: "(Whether they’re a rebel or animal, no one’s backing down from this.)"
Rolling up to a knee, Masatake stares down Takuma who’s just bringing himself up to both knees, locking eyes with his in-ring foe. Gesturing, The Backslide Genius suggests they meet in the middle. Standing toe to toe, Masatake slaps his chest, motioning for Takuma to chop him right in the middle. With a casual shrug, Takuma unloads a heavy chop that resonates around the arena. Responding with a shrug himself, Masatake prepares a chop and unloads it onto Takuma, giving off the same effect. The two continue to trade chops, yelling in one another’s face, with neither seemingly backing down but their chests tell different stories as they become beet red. As Takuma prepares for another chop, instead ducks down low and lifts Masatake up onto his shoulders but the latter quickly squirms out of Takuma’s clutches and shoves Big Tiger into the nearby corner. As Takuma turns, he’s quickly met by several chops at high speed before being whipped across to the other corner where Masatake quickly follows and drives a jumping knee straight into Takuma’s face, leaving the man to slump in the corner as he gets up in his face yelling, “Kono yarou!”, before proceeding to stomp a mudhole into Takuma.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Masatake is relentless right now!)"
Kayako Kai: "(And Raiden probably has something to say about it!)"
Sure enough, Raiden has made his way into the ring and ambushes Masatake with an overhand punch to the skull, knocking the man into the corner. He yanks the man back, looking to unload another punch but is ambushed himself by a forearm shot to the back from Hanako. Soon enough, chaos starts to ensue as the referee struggles to maintain order while Raiden finds himself in a two on one situation against the Rebels.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Raiden’s found himself cornered here. With Takuma out of the equation for now, it’s gonna be hard to handle.)"
Kayako Kai: "(Don’t underestimate Raiden, Yumi-chan. This man has been in several situations like this during his time in the XHF so I doubt he’ll have a problem.)"
Alternating between the Rebels, Raiden tries to keep them at bay with strikes to the head while Takuma is still recovering in the corner. Launching a kick into Masatake’s ribs, he turns to attack Hanako next but is met with a jumping knee to the face, dropping him onto one knee. Trying to regain his bearings, he’s quickly dropped to the mat by a shining wizard from The Black Rose, rolling to the apron as the duo turns their attention over to Takuma, who’s just now pulling himself back up onto his feet. Hanako reaches for him first but instead gets yanked into the corner chest first by Takuma. Masatake tries to grab the man from behind but Takuma easily sidesteps the attempted grab and instead pushes The Backslide Genius into his partner and crushes them with a shoulder thrust, sandwiching them in the corner. Hanako leans into the corner in agony while Takuma reels Masatake back and hoists him up, driving him into the mat with a bridging backdrop!
ONE!
TWO!
...KICKOUT!
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(That was some quick thinking by Takuma in order to get some offense in but still not enough to exhaust the tanks that Masatake and Hanako carry.)"
Kayako Kai: "(Still plenty of time left in this match to see what goes down.)"
Sitting up, Takuma ruffles his hair with a grunt, trying to figure out what it’s gonna take. Before he even has a chance to move, Hanako knocks him down with a vicious looking penalty kick. Grabbing Takuma by the arms, she pulls him up before starting to unload with stomp after stomp into his face whilst keeping his arms pulled back to keep him ensnared. Once again, the ref tries to maintain order by trying to get in between the two but instead, Raiden comes springboarding in with a forearm smash straight to the back of the head of The Black Rose, dropping her down and leaving all four wrestlers down in the ring as they catch their breath. Surprisingly, Masatake crawls his way over to Takuma, slinging an arm over the downed Big Tiger.
ONE!
TWO!
TH- KICKOUT!
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Oof, close call for The Ronin.)"
Kayako Kai: "(The striking power that Hanako posses is no joke. There’s tales of her knocking people out before she could even execute a full finishing blow. Throw her bofyriend Masatake into the mix though, and that’s just asking for a world of hurt.)"
Pushing himself up to his feet, Masatake grabs Takuma by the hair and pulls him up to his feet, hitting him with a right hand that staggers the Big Tiger before following it up with another right. Grabbing Takuma’s wrist, Masatake fires him over to the ropes and on the rebound catches the man with a kitchen sink straight to the gut, flipping the man over to the mat. In the corner, Hanako kicks Raiden out of the ring, sending him to the floor before turning her attention back to Takuma, making it a two on one once more. Masatake pulls Takuma up to his feet, locking in a sleeper hold while Hanako starts to unload with more knee strikes to the midsection, effectively sandwiching Takuma between the two Rebels. Each strike garners a grimaced look from Takuma as he struggles in the two’s clutches but gets the wind knocked out of him as Hanako superkicks him in the stomach. Whirling Takuma around, Masatake stuff’s the man’s head under his armpit and hooks both arms, lifting him up and dropping him on his face with a DDT. Immediately after, Masatake rolls him over and hooks the far leg.
ONE!
TWO!
THR- KICKOUT!
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(The Rebels are stunned! How is Takuma still in it?)"
Kayako Kai: "(No idea. You’d think after taking that many shots to the body you’d be done for but Takuma looks like he’s cut from a different cloth.)"
Shaking his head in disappointment, Masatake motions for Hanako to return to the corner as he drags Takuma over. The tag is made and Hanako immediately steps back in and resumes the beat down on Takuma, even slapping him in the face a few times while Masatake kicks away at Big Tiger’s ribs. They position him along the ropes and fire him across the ring, catching him on the rebound with a double hip toss with simultaneous knee drops to the head and gut respectively. They drag Takuma over to the corner, positioning him in front of the corner and Hanako scales the turnbuckles up onto the top rope, readying herself for some aerial maneuver. From almost out of nowhere Raiden suddenly bursts up onto apron and shoves The Black Rose off the top, sending her crashing onto the barricade below. Masatake rushes Bone Cold but the Osaka ducks shoulder checks The Backslide Genius straight in the gut, causing him to keel over. Drawing back a bit, Raiden quickly slingshots himself into the ring, hooking Masatake’s head and spiking the man into the mat with a DDT of his own. Scrambling over, he does his best to shake Takuma back into things as Big Tiger struggles to get himself back up onto his feet, his ribs starting to feel the effect of the strikes he took. Raiden gives him a sign, suggesting a submission hold as they walk back over to Masatake, dragging The Backslide Genius back up to his feet. Grabbing him from behind, Takuma slaps on a tight looking dragon sleeper while Raiden proceeds to lay in Masatake’s ribs with alternating punches and kicks as the man squirms in Takuma’s grasp. Running around his partner, Raiden springs up onto the second rope and gracefully jumps backwards into a moonsault, splashing down on top of Masatake while Takuma combines it with a falling inverted DDT.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(One heck of a combination there by The Ronin.)"
Kayako Kai: "(Quite a sight but I think they’re kind of forgetting that Hanako is the legal person in the match. All they’re doing is just beating down Masatake.)"
At the mention of Hanako, The Black Rose manages to drag herself back into the ring, standing off against The Ronin who back off into their corner out of caution, giving them time to switch places as Takuma tags Raiden back in. They charge Hanako, with Raiden going low as he slides across the mat, catching the woman with a drop toe hold while Takuma follows her down to the mat with a crunching elbow drop to the spine. Both men immediately seize hold of The Black Rose, throwing her into the corner and lifting her up onto the top turnbuckle. Takuma turns his back to her and places her in an electric chair hold, steadying himself as Raiden rushes up the turnbuckles, runs the top rope a bit and springs off, catching Hanako in a cutter while Takuma drops down onto his bottom, completing the double team maneuver. Scrambling, Raiden turns Hanako over, hooking both legs.
ONE!
TWO!
THRE- BROKEN UP BY MASATAKE!
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(UNBELIEVABLE!)"
Kayako Kai: "(Never say die!)"
Takuma grabs Masatake by the neck whips him into the far corner while Raiden continues to work over Hanako, slapping a butterfly lock on her but perhaps through the adrenaline, she manages to roll herself backward, bringing Raiden with her and manages to slip out of the hold while the ref is still trying to separate everyone, putting Masatake back out on the apron. Struggling to keep Hanako in place, Raiden pushes her back as Masatake reaches in, tagging himself in unbeknownst to Bone Cold as Hanako charges him with a knee lift to the midsection but he immediately scurries back over to his corner and tags out to Takuma and not wanting to witness another double team, Masatake enters the fray again and the chaos resumes between all of them. Raiden clubs Hanako out of the way, knocking her down with another back elbow to the side of the head that drops her down to the mat while Masatake charges Takuma only to be thrown up in the air and met with a kick to the ribs from Raiden upon landing.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Stiff shot after stiff shot.)"
Kayako Kai: "(Will it eve-- OH CRAP LOOK OUT!)"
Bouncing off the ropes with a head of steam, Takuma charges Masatake, flooring The Backslide Genius with a massive lariat that just about turns him inside out and nearly unmoving on the canvas.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Big Tiger Bomber!)"
Kayako Kai: "(I would ask if someone like Masatake is dead but he looks alive to me.)"
The Ronin quickly switch their attention over to Hanako, still believing that she’s the legal person. Approaching her, they pick her up in tandem but she manages to fight off the two and clocks Raiden upside the head with a spinning back fist that sends him crashing to the mat before she turns her attention to Takuma, striking his injured ribs with another knee strike that drops him to a knee. Seizing the opening, The Black Rose locks her hands behind Big Tiger’s head and unloads knee after knee into his face, visibly leaving him stunned as he falls onto both knees while Hanako mercilessly assaults the man’s face, even busting the man’s lip open. Relinquishing the grip, she runs to the ropes and explodes off them with blistering speed but is instead brought down by another Big Tiger Bomber that sends her spinning. Wiping at his chin, Takuma looks down in disgust at the blood as he instead turns his attention over to Masatake and pulls him up by his hair. Gesturing, Takuma holds a thumb up only to turn it upside down which incities the crowd as he tucks Masatake’s head into his armpit.
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(This spells bad news.)"
Kayako Kai: "(Whatever it is, if Takuma hits it, you may as well call it done.)"
Hooking both arms, Takuma lifts Masatake up onto his shoulder but The Backslide Genius is quick to start squirming about in the hold, trying to knock Takuma off balance and instead he manages to slip behind Big Tiger, catching both arms from behind and drops down, putting Takuma in a pinning predicament with a backslide!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!
The bell rings as Masatake releases the pin and rolls over to Hanako while Takuma sits up on his knees in bewilderment as to what just occurred as “Midnight Violence Rock N’ Roll” by Guitar Wolf starts to play again.
Karin Wholfe: "(Here are your winners of the match, Hanako Takeuchi and Masatake Kawamata, The Osaka Rebels!)"
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Unbelievable! Masatake with the unexpected pin and The Rebels have managed to claim victory over The Ronin!)"
Kayako Kai: "(A basic pinning hold but Masatake looked as if he had it held down tight on Takuma. Simple yet effective.)"
Raiden’s just coming to off the mat as he sits up holding his head. He looks over at Takuma who just gives him a shake of the head as he wipes away some of the blood dribbling out of his mouth. He offers his hand to his partner, helping him back up onto his feet as the two both share a look of discontent with the defeat. Turning, they’re met by the stares of Masatake and Hanako, the latter of which having her arm draped around the former’s shoulders. Out of respect, The Ronin bow before the Rebels with the latter returning the gesture, much to the delight of the crowd before the two teams go their separate ways while Masatake’s theme music continues to play in the background.
Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Our next match pits two former adult film stars turned wrestlers and a… unique ‘woman’ in a match in which they all must fight outside the arena in a ring made of snow. This fans, is a Winter Wonderland match and the first of its kind.)”
Kayako Kai: “(Many may dismiss this match as nothing but a normal match, just outside, but this match is much more! Any snow or ice object is a legal weapon as well as them having to worry about frostbite if the match lasts too long!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(This match is a Winter Wonderland match! And the only way to win this match is to cover you opponent in snow. Now introducing first, hailing from Los Angeles, California he stands at 6’1 and weighs in tonight at 235 pounds…. He is the one, ‘The Metrosexual’ Ricky jackson!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(And his opponent from DHW and JET, she comes from Mito, Ibaraki, Japan! Standing in tonight at 5’0 tall and weighing in at 100 pounds, she is ‘The Love Queen’ Ai Moe!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(And their opponent from San Francisco, California and stands in at 6’0 even. She’s Ember Ferrari! I think… she does look a bit fatter than usual.)”
The match started off with all three running out of the snow ring and duck behind corners. The three started to make snowballs and chuck them at each other. Ricky gets hit in the face hard, but so do the others.
It doesn’t take long before we see some actual wrestling from Ember and Ricky, who start throwing blows and trying to land some suplexes and stuff on him. Ricky and Ember start getting a bit touchy with each other and it looks as if it could get us XXX rated before Ai saves us from that sight and drop kicks both of them off the ring made of snow.
She gets them both again, this time with a flying cross body. She gets caught by them and thrown into a pile of snow. Towards the middle of the match we’d go to see many things.Ice scicles being used as weapons as well as buckets of snow being thrown at one another. The match would end after a rearview drive from Ember and a well placed bow from an ice sickle.
Karin Wholfe: “(Your winner of this match, Ember Ferrari!)”
Kayako Kai: “(Many may dismiss this match as nothing but a normal match, just outside, but this match is much more! Any snow or ice object is a legal weapon as well as them having to worry about frostbite if the match lasts too long!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(This match is a Winter Wonderland match! And the only way to win this match is to cover you opponent in snow. Now introducing first, hailing from Los Angeles, California he stands at 6’1 and weighs in tonight at 235 pounds…. He is the one, ‘The Metrosexual’ Ricky jackson!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(And his opponent from DHW and JET, she comes from Mito, Ibaraki, Japan! Standing in tonight at 5’0 tall and weighing in at 100 pounds, she is ‘The Love Queen’ Ai Moe!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(And their opponent from San Francisco, California and stands in at 6’0 even. She’s Ember Ferrari! I think… she does look a bit fatter than usual.)”
The match started off with all three running out of the snow ring and duck behind corners. The three started to make snowballs and chuck them at each other. Ricky gets hit in the face hard, but so do the others.
It doesn’t take long before we see some actual wrestling from Ember and Ricky, who start throwing blows and trying to land some suplexes and stuff on him. Ricky and Ember start getting a bit touchy with each other and it looks as if it could get us XXX rated before Ai saves us from that sight and drop kicks both of them off the ring made of snow.
She gets them both again, this time with a flying cross body. She gets caught by them and thrown into a pile of snow. Towards the middle of the match we’d go to see many things.Ice scicles being used as weapons as well as buckets of snow being thrown at one another. The match would end after a rearview drive from Ember and a well placed bow from an ice sickle.
Karin Wholfe: “(Your winner of this match, Ember Ferrari!)”
After "I Touch Myself" From The Divinyls play, Ember goes up to the ring announcer and asks for the microphone. She rolls back inside of the ring and scratches her ass with her free hand. That's when she finally speaks:
Ember: "SHUT THE MUSIC DOWN!"
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Hold on. That doesn't sound like Ember.)"
Kayako Kai: "(No... Maybe she's just sick)"?
Ember: "I have to let you all know something. You didn't just witness Ember Ferrari win a match. ...BECAUSE I'M NOT EMBER! I am..."
That's when the person claiming to be Ember pulls off what we all thought was hair. No. It's a WIG! The person then starts wiping at the makeup.
Viper: "JEFFREY VIPER!"
color=red]Kayako Kai: "(Ohhhhh. No wonder he's so fat.)"
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(He's breaking the rules! He doesn't work here!)"
Viper: "I know the truth. If I came out here, you wouldn't let me wrestle. So I had to go in disguise. I had to pretend to be a woman. All I needed was some photoshop and a good pokerface. All I needed to do was say that I had some nudes of Jack Diamond, and she let me pretend to be her and wrestle in her place."
Kayako Kai: "(Is he done talking yet?)"
Yumiko Kanagawa: "(Does he LOOK like he's done yet?)"
Viper: "I've been to AWF, and I've left undefeated. I've been to AXW and I've left undefeated. And I've been to SSS, and I've left undefeated. Champoon Wrestling has sought me out and I've been paid MILLIONS for my cameos. Jack Diamond, Bobby Barratt, you have to know the truth. I PISS EXCELLENCE! I am the End of Days Tag Team Champion! I've eliminated the longest lasting wrestler in XHF Rumble history! Where I walk, I leave behind a trail of gold! XHF NETWORK, I AM JEFFREY VIPER!"
Jeffrey Viper's theme song hits as Jeffrey Viper rolls out of the ring and makes his way to the back.
Ember: "SHUT THE MUSIC DOWN!"

Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Our next match has been brewing on twitter for the past month or so, Many haven’t seen much from Masami on SSS tv, but believe me she’s been impressing on house shows and everywhere else!)”
Kayako Kai: “(Too bad her opponent is STRiFE though, perhaps one of the toughest women on our roster. She beat an undefeated Alexis Grace who we’ve seen in action earlier to win the title she has now.)”
Karin Wholfe: “(This match is set for one fall and is for the Idols of Sakura Championship! Introducing first in the blue corner, she come from Tokyo, Japan. Standing in tonight at 164 cm. She is ‘The’ Miracle Masami!)”
Karin Wholfe:”(And her opponent in the red corner, She is the fourth and current Idols of Sakura Champion. Standing in tonight at 5’4 and weighing in at 119 pounds, she is STRiFE!)”
The match started off with a very old school way, a classic test of power turned into a tie up and series of reversals and rest holds. The technical skills of STRiFE would manage to help her out in the beginnings of the match. She’d started to wear down Masami.
The early stages would be very slow and consist of lots of technical moves with some strikes and wear down submissions on each other. It wouldn’t be long though for Masami to go and she’d get going into second gear.
Masami would start bouncing all over the place and landing fast paced strikes and ariel moves. She manage to hit her merry go round signature cartwheel drop kick. After some more strikes from both the tides would turn again.
STRiFE would manage to get a stiff kick onto Masami in her midsection before she would get her up and hit her with her red reign maneuver, a wrist lock bitch slap to the face. Before she’d land her anaconda choke, she calls the wicked sister for the win.
Karin Wholfe: “(Your winner and still Idols of Sakura Champion, STRiFE!)”

Yumiko Kanagawa: “(This is the final match of Zolothach’s trial series. This is a Horror Icons match as well.)”
Kayako Kai: “(It may not be october or halloween anymore, but this is a spooky match themed with Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft stories throughout the ring.)”
Karin Wholfe: “(This match is a Horror Icons Match and the only way to win this match is by pinfall or submission! Introducing first, in the blue corner. From Shinjuku, Tokyo, Japan and stands in at 5’7 and weighs in at 130 pounds. She is Hellraven!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(And her opponent in the red corner, she stands in at 5’8 and weighs at 165 pounds. She is ‘Zolothach’ Tabitha Osborne!)”
This match would start off very chaotic and very brutal. Tabitha and Hellraven would get into a brawl with each other and hit each other with stiff strikes and objects in the ring. The match would spill out into the crowd and outside the ring many times as well before the 5 minute mark.
The two would get many suplexes and other high impact moves on them too. The match would see an end when Osborne would hit Hellraven with a Cuthulu statue across the head and pin her for the the three count.
Karin Wholfe: “(Your winner of this match, Tabitha Osborne!)”

Yumiko Kanagawa: “(This next match is perhaps one of the more special matches we’ll have on the card tonight. This match features not only the XHF Tag Team Champions, but former XHF X*Crown champion and current Champ as well. They’ll be facing the team of The Dosanko tonight.)”
Kayako Kai: “(It’s a travesty that Emi Sakata and Yuuko Koizumi would think these two would even be a decent team to face the best on the network! I mean we have a rookie and then some old hag who’s probably close to retiring anyway!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(This match is for the XHF Tag Team Championships and is set for one fall! Introducing first, in the blue corner. They are the duo of Fujiko Matsumoto and Sakura Kid, The Dosanko!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(And their opponents they are the current XHF Tag Team Champions, in the red corner they are The duo of the X*Crown Champion, Bobby Barratt and Jack Diamond… The Icons!)”
The match started off with Bobby and Fujiko taking the lead for their teams. Both would start off with a lockup before Fujiko would start getting in some strikes to the legs of Bobby. Bobby would take them and deal some more to Fujiko as well.
Eventually the other two would get into the match and Sakura Kid would take on her biggest foe yet, Jack Diamond. Kid would take it the route she would any opponent and bounce around trying to find an opening against The Ace of Spades. It didn’t take long for her to land a few hits, but also get rocked herself from some stiff forearms and strikes too.
Towards the middle of the match there’d be allot of pinfall attempts from both teams with many breaks and cut ins to stop them. The match really went to the next level after Matsumoto was hit with a shuffled deck 450 splash from jack diamond.
Fujiko would kick out and tag in her partner who would both then manage to land a Sakura Snow Drop powerbomb springboard dropkick combo on Diamond as well as a two count for their efforts. Bobby would eventually get tagged in and hit Kid with Prodigal Press before pinning her. He’d only get a two before she’d bridge out of the pin attempt. But it wouldn’t be too long before a tag and Jack would lock in his Aces Wild figure 4 leg lock. Sakura Kid tried to hold on as long as she could, but the pain and pressure became too much as she would tap out.

Yumiko Kanagawa: “(This next match will see a rivalry that’s spanned numerous promotions across many years. It started in the now defunct Full Intensity Wrestling, both of who beat each other many of times.)”
Kayako Kai: “(Now Erik Holland and Kira Izumi will go one on one one more time! In SSS and in a fans bring the weapons match no less! We saw what Izumi could do last year with his stable, MURAMASA-kokka, but this will be the first time seeing what he can do against Erik Holland!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(This match is a Fans Bring The Weapons Match and scheduled for one fall! All weapons brought by the fans are legal! Now introducing first, in the blue corner he hails from Silent Hill. Standing in tonight at 6’6 and weighing in at 281 pounds, He is The Maniac Erik Holland!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(And his opponent in the red corner. He comes to us from Shinhidaka, Hokkaido, Japan. This man stands in at 6’0 even and weighs in tonight at 200 pounds. He is the current PPW Rouge Champion, Mr.Deathmatch Kira Izumi!)”
The match started off hot with the crowd as old rivals would meet in the middle of the ring. Both men have had their differences in the past and both men have gotten numerous wins on the other before as well. They don’t even go for tie ups or strikes. They go for blood.
Both pour out into the ringside and start grabbing weapons from the Tokyo crowd. Kira gets a lightsaber wrapped in barbed wire as Erik grabs a power pole from dragon ball with tacks in it. The two charge each other and clash with the weapons. Hitting each other and making one another bleed and bruise. More violence would ensue as the match goes on.
At one moment we’d see both men throwing records at each other like frisbees and shooting off fireworks at each other. Erik and Kira would brawl through out the arena from upstairs to down and all around. Inside and out as they’d continue to give each other hell. They’d eventually get back into the ring. Erik would go for his Plan 9 From Outer Space super man punch, but Kira would block it with a computer monitor.
Sometime later on in the match we’d see Kira Izumi hit Erik Holland with a Kira Driver ‘91, a tiger driver ‘91, off the top ropes through a pile of glass and tables on the outside of the ring. Unfortunately this wasn’t a falls count anywhere match and Kira couldn’t get Holland in the ring in time to make a good pin attempt. In the ending scenes of the match, Erik would hit not one, but two Human Harvest stump pulled piledrivers onto Izumi. One off the top rope and onto a pile of TVs and the other on some tacks before pinning him for the pin.
Karin Wholfe: “(Your winner of this match, The Maniac Erik Holland!)”
After the match both would show a sign of respect and fist bump each other before leaving the ring, bloodied and bruised.

Yumiko Kanagawa: “(Next we have a joshi legend in Haruna Sakazaki taking on a young lady who many see as the future of womens wrestling in Emi Hirota fighting for what could be the last match of Sakazaki.)”
Kayako Kai: “(This match started with Sakazaki coming out of retirement for one more match and to teach the young generation what real joshi is about. Haruna has been in JET and even made appearances in SBW to help the likes of Ai Moe. Emi has been a mainstay in places like Kamikaze Pro and Rose City for the past few years.

Karin Wholfe: “(This match is set for one fall! Introducing first from Nagano, Japan she is Emi Hirota!)”
Karin Wholfe: “(And her opponent from Japan, she is Haruna Sakazaki!)”
The match started out with both women shaking hands. It wouldn’t be long before the action started off and we’d see the two touch. It’d start with a lot of tie ups and holds. The two would reverse and counter holds for others and over all the beginnings of this match was highly technical and showed off good aspects of both women.
The match was very consistent and very fast paced toward the middle of the match, which is where Emi shown. She used her faster pace to get big moves on Sakazaki before she’d come back and land a few stiff strikes knocking her down.
The match would see more spectacular moves and sequences with in the match like a super huricarana and a powerbomb on the apron. Both women gave it their absolute all, but before either one could get their finisher off and pin one another the match was over and both had reached the 60 minute time limit.
Karin Wholfe: “(This contest has ended in a time limit draw!)”

Karin Wholfe: “(And Their opponents in the blue corner they are the team of Kikue Minami and Sakura Hase, Sakura-Gun!)”
The match started off with the brawling prowess of Minami going at it with Kagura, who before became a mainstay after being the Idols of Sakura champion earlier in the year. Minami and Kagura duke it out in the early goings and beat the tar out of each other.
The match would see many great moves and hard hitting action leading for some dirty tricks and actually a distraction from another Kaguya-Gun member Au Nobu. She’d jump up and down and make a ruckus distracting the other team and helping Kaguya-Gun get a small package for the win.

The match started off with high flying and hard hitting action. The two would trade strikes and get counters in the early goings of the match. The two would continue on with some counters Mei would manage to hit an Enzugiri on Zombie and knock her down long enough to get a pin attempt on her. It wouldn’t work for long as it’d only lead to a two count.
The two would continue trading strikes and blows, but also both would start going much more high risk with topes and moves off the ropes. Fukushima would land a springboard cutter at one point and Hayashi would manage to connect with a devastating missile drop kick.
At one point we saw a breathtaking spot where Mei went for a moonsault and Zombie hit her with a patent superkick midway through. She covered her for a 2.99 and almost won the match from that.
Towards the end we saw both fighters big moves being played out with Mei hitting her Knife Vacation tiger feint kick and going for her Holy Driver, but she’d lose her grip and balance and Fukushima would manage to get out of the Victoria Driver variation from Mei. Zombie would manage to hit another superkick and eventually won the match with her spider twist finisher she calls the Jigoku.
