“Gamers Extraordinaire!”
“I’m a Super Bitch!”
“Come one, Come All!”
“Tiger’s crazy!”
“Let’s go Bonkers!”
“I came for blood!”
Miranda Augustino: Welcome everyone to Trauma Episode four!
Andrew Payne: Time for week two in Japan and we Invade Nagoya this week!
Miranda Augustino: There’s so much packed into tonight, so much action, and a huge announcement by Isabella on WarGames.
Andrew Payne: And we have a huge contract signing to kick off the show.
Miranda Augustino: And I get to see Kitten come out here twice!
Andrew Payne: And with that, let’s get right to it.
===================================================
Amy Connors: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome at this time, the General Manager of Trauma, ISABELLA SANTIAGO!
Isabella comes out to the Trauma theme, walking with confidence to the ring as the crowd gives her a positive reaction. She gets into the ring, asking for a microphone, looking around at the crowd and waving at them.
Isabella Santiago: Nagoya, how are you enjoying the show so far?
The crowd once again cheers a little bit as Isabella just smiles.
Isabella: Well, tonight we have a special contract signing between two women who have been at war for the last couple of months, first over the retired Women’s Television Championship and now the United States Championship. There was a little dibacle at WrestleWar, but the referee’s decision is final, but that only makes things all the more interesting and it gives us this match that we will be seeing at Invasion. But now, without further adieu, please welcome at this time, the challenger at Invasion, Angel Kusanagi!
As the opening riff to SiM's "DiAMOND" the lights around the stage take on a flashing strobe effect. Smoke fills the entryway as the word KUSANAGI appears up on the video wall in the form of purple broken glass. As the lyrics to the song begin, Angel Kusanagi emerges from behind the entrance curtain, dressed head to toe in her black tight pants, heeled boots, tanktop and hooded leather jacket. Without any posing or showboating, she moves down the ramp, all business and ascends the steps, getting right into the ring. With a slight bow of her head, she accepts the microphone from General Manager Santiago. The Nagoya crowd is screaming her name in a chant. One that she cracks a small smirk at before they start to quiet down to she can speak.
Angel Kusanagi: Sengetsu, Wrestle u~ō Sixteen de, tawagoto no denwa ga... Kono kaisha de watashinojikan o fumetsu ni suru shōsandeatta mono kara watashi o seikō shimashita. Saigo no josei no terebi chanpion... Saisho no Beikoku chanpion….
She begins to paces around and shrugs, anxiously scratching her neck before she continues.
Angel Kusanagi: Shinpan no Akiyama Yumi wa, kanojo no denwa ni taishite sekinin o owanai kamo shiremasen. Sorekara, tabun watashi wa dekiru. Tabun, watashi wa jūbun ni hakkiri to hanasenakatta to iu hito ga iru kamo shiremasen. Somosomo kanojo ga shiai no shikai o tsutometa no wa, kuso riyū ga atta to iu hito mo iru kamo shiremasen! Kanojo wa nihongo o hanasu yuiitsu no shinpandeari, watashi ga saisho ni iimasu, watashi no eigo wa mada hyōjun ni tasshite imasen.
Angel sighs and shakes her head, looking down at the mat.
Angel Kusanagi: Yōsuruni kore wa….
She lifts her head and turns towards the stage, sneering towards the back.
Angel Kusanagi: Serra...Rica….Rark!!!!
The Japan crowd roars with anticipation.
Angel Kusanagi: You...Did...Not...Beat...Me! If honest? Match should be…’I Quit’...BUT!! Not good enough! I...want...to break you...until you...cannot...stand...at all!
Angel lowers the microphone and steps back towards the opposite side of the ring, leaving Isabella room to introduce the champion.
Isabella watched on, seeing the passion from Angel and just smiling as she heard the words before stepping up once again and raising the microphone to her mouth.
Isabella Santiago: And Angel’s opponent at Invasion, the NFW United States Champion, Sela Rica-Lark!
The opening riffs of Halestorm's "I Like It Heavy" play on the speaker. Sela appears at the top of the stage with the United States title flung over her shoulder. She smiles toward the ring and looks at Angel specifically. Slowly, swaying whimsically with each step, she makes her way to the ring. By the time she reaches the ring, the chorus of her music has started. She walks around a bit with her trademark tease of the ringpost before she hops on the apron, holding her title high. Angel looks ready for a fight and Sela turns, giving her a knowing smirk. Still very capricious as her music fades out, Sela bites at the tip of her finger with a giggle before she plops herself in her chair.
Isabella: Now, last week, we saw Angel make her return after another successful defense in her open challenge series and she challenged Sela to a Ironwoman match. These two tore it up in New York City, and I know these two will tear it up again in Tokyo.
Isabella grabs the pen and slides the contract over to Angel and sets the pen down on top of it, looking at her.
Isabella: If I could get your signature.
Angel takes the pen sharply, staring right at Sela as she raises it up. With a wide eyed look, she clicks the tip out and scribbles her name down on the challenger line. Once she finishes, she retracts the pen and slams it down onto the book and slides it across the table at Sela, never taking her eyes off her. She says nothing else into the microphone and just stands there, watching and waiting.
Isabella then slides the contract and the pen over to Sela and stands there watching the two women, hoping things don’t get out of control.
Isabella: Sela, if you would please the contract and we can make this match official.
Sela in an almost daydream state, smoothly reaches for her pen and signs the contract without hesitation. To accentuate the point she also underlines the stipulation of Iron Woman match before closing the book with a grin. She looks at Angel slyly before picking up her mic.
Sela: Yukiko, I've never been more excited about anything in my life up to this moment. Going around the world, just to come back here, your home turf, to walk into your city as champion and leave you bleeding once more for all to see…
Sela cackles throwing her head back a moment.
Sela: Angel Kusanagi, you have no idea what you are in for. You could barely stand at the end of our WrestleWar encounter. Had you kept your mouth shut that barbed wire would have wrapped you up like a mummy! Oh yes Angel. It isn't often that I make a plan, but it would have been too good to pass up.
Sela's eyes snap to serious. Her grin disappears.
Sela: But what I can do when I am actually given time. What I can do when I don't have to rely on a single fall to win. You saw just the tip of the iceberg Angel. And like the Titanic, that's all it takes to sink you. And when you awake, drowned in the crimson shallow of your own blood, you'll see how far I can go. And that still won't be the furthest extent of my vicious attitude.
As Sela finishes speaking, Angel...smiles. She looks down at the table, lowering her head as she slowly picks up the microphone. She brings it up to her mouth and a low, soft giggle fills the arena as she lets it flow from her into the microphone. The giggle grows into a chuckle...which grows into laugh...which grows into a cackle as Angel looks up and tilts her head back, letting everything out as she paces in a circle again. Her other hand reaches up and pulls back the hood from her jacket, letting her platinum blonde hair come into full view. As her cackle returns to a chuckle, she looks at Sela with an amused smile and shakes her head.
Angel Kusanagi: Anata wa hontōni muchidesu...yo ne? You...stupid...bitch.
The crowd buzzes with tension as Angel starts moving to harsh words but Angel looks to the Nagoya crowd and, as she speaks, thumbs to Sela, rolling her eyes.
Angel Kusanagi: Kono bakageta meinu wa, raishū no Ōsakajō hōru de no chanpionshippu ni shutsujō suru koto o kangaete iru ni chigai arimasen. Tōkyō dōmude wa arimasen. Anata wa mina, watashi ga dokokarakitano ka shitte imasu yo ne?!
Angel throws out her other arm to the side, asking the crowd to get loud with her. The crowd responds in kind to their countrywoman. She turns back to Sela then and shakes her head.
Angel Kusanagi: You say...you have my number…. You say...you know all need to know...about me. You cannot even get home right!
Angel motions with her hand at Sela and slaps herself in the side of the head.
Angel Kusanagi: Serra-san...I cannot wait...to beat you...break you...bleed you...maim you...in Tokyo. Yes? But...my home?
Angel motions to herself and looks at Isabella, the crowd then to Sela again.
Angel Kusanagi: ...I from Osaka, bitch!!!!
With a sudden snap motion, Angel WHIPS the microphone, bouncing it off of Sela’s face as she shoots in passed the table and takes Sela down to the mat. The two women began to throw hands, engaging in a violent brawl again. The United States title flew away from Sela's shoulder as she is taken down. Sela fires back with a flurry of her own blows, but Angel has too early of an advantage. Angel wails into Sela who is forced into a retreat at the earliest reprieve. Angel doesn't let her get very far though. As Sela uses the ropes to recover, Angel grabs her by the head and yells more in her face before slamming her with a DDT. Sela is flattened staring up at the ceiling. Angel smiles at her handiwork a moment. When Sela does stir, Angel's smile disappears and Sela's reappears. Sela shakes her head again. Angel grabs Sela in a fury and wastes no time driving her down with a Boseki driver. This time Sela is out. Angel wanders over to the United States title and picks it up. After staring at it a moment, she drapes it across Sela's body with a sinister smile. The camera focuses on that smile as the scene fades out.

GAME START!
"KICKIN' IT OUT!!"
As the opening lyrics rip throughout the arena, a shot of DragonBall Z's Goku throws a Kamehameha at the viwers and the entryway lights up with multicolored lights and the video wall switches to a highlight reel that goes back and forth between clips of various video gameplay and anime footage. Everything from Mortal Kombat, Call of Duty, Battlefield, Skyrim, Mario, Golden Axe, Grand Theft Auto, Battletoads gameplay to action clips of DBZ, Elfen Lied, Ninja Scroll, Hellsing etc -- and then footage of Kat Cage and Sammi Belmont in previous matches hitting their big spots from their arsenals.
As this goes on, The Skillz Vendorz come running and jumping out from the curtain. More specifically, Katrina Cage runs out first, followed by Sammi Belmont. Katrina does a silly, playful bow to the audience and as she does, Sammi Belmont runs and leapfrogs over her. She lands and spins, full of energy, yelling to the crowd. Her and Kat come to stand side by side. They nod to each other with big smiles and mimic the DragonBall Fusion Dance pose. Multicolored pyro goes off on the stage and the two start down the ramp.
Your dream vacation
Small hostage refuge
A work in progress
You bleed just like you puke while running a mile
I beg to differ
Make me an offer
Warm summer rain
You bleed just like you puke while running a mile
Kat Cage and Sammi Belmont come down the aisle, each taking a side where they happily high five and slap hands of fans in the front row. At the end of the ramp, they come together where Kat climbs up to the apron and gets into the ring. She climbs the turnbuckle as Sammi gets a running start along the side of the ring and athletically jumps up onto the apron to the parallel turnbuckle. Sammi grabs the ropes and hops over, skillfully landing on the middle turnbuckle where her and Kat repeat the Fusion Dance pose. As they do, spotlights shine down on them both.
Hey, are you okay?
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward
Do you feel okay?
You look pretty low
Very handsome awkward
Umi Toriyama: Saisho ni shōkai suru no wa, Katrina Cage, Sammi Belmot, The Skillz Vendorz!
Both girls then climb down from the turnbuckles and meet in their corner, high fiving, fist bumping, dapping one another before removing their entrance gear and waiting for the match to start.
“Player 1 Ready…”
comes up on the screen. In the break between the opening chords and the main tune the screen flashes
“Game Start!”
Umi Toriyama: Soshite karera no pātonā, Cali-Kate!
The main tune hits and the lights come back up showing Kate on the stage in a hooded jacket with a huge smile on her face, dancing to her music. Kate flips the hood down and skips down the ramp trading high fives and hugs with various members of the crowd. She even stops a few times to pose for some selfies with the crowd members. Kate reaches ringside and continues skipping one full round around the ring only trading high fives with audience members. When she gets to the corner, the audience goes wild as Kate blows out a kiss to everyone. Kate slides into the ring and jumps to one of the corners and poses once for pictures. As her music fades, she hops off the ropes and goes to her corner, removing her jacket and warming up for her match.
Next comes Masami Nishikiyama, through the curtain before going into the spin she does on the balls of her feet with her arms out.
While she's still in the process of twirling, Yuka Hirata emerges coolly, rolling her neck before coming to the center of stage, kneeling and performing a quick Wai Kru before slamming her fists on the stage and popping up and giving a yell.
Together, the three turn and stick their hands in a circle and perform their team chant. At 0:49 into the song, the three girls turn, Yuka leading the way and Masami following behind while Kayako brings up the rear, 'skipping' along with her hands behind her back.
Umi Toriyama: Ringu ni mukatte kudasai! Nihon kara! Sūpābitchi-tai! KAZAMAAAAAAA, KAYAKOOOOOO…...HIRATAAAAAAAAAA, YUUUUUUKAAAAAAA…..NISHIKIYAMAAAAAAA, MASAMIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!
While each girl enters in her usual fashion, they do a little differently this time around; entering the ring in a more puroresu style. Each girl waits for their name to be called before they slip in through the ropes and throw their pose, hyping the Japanese crowd up.
Once all three of them are in the ring, they meet in the middle for a pose. Masami stands tall, flexing up her arms. After performing another brief Wai Kru, Yuka scowls ahead of her with her fists raised under her chin. Kayako, meanwhile, leans back against Masami like a human wall and brings up one hand in a 'peace sign' with an adorable yet devious little smile.
~DING DING DING~
Masami and Kate start the match off for their respective teams as they begin to circle the ring. The two meet in the middle and lock up before Masami almost immediately goes behind Kate with a waistlock and picks her up, slamming her face first into the mat before once again locking her hands around Kate’s waist and picking her back up off the mat and delivering a deadlift German Suplex. Masami then grabs Kate on the mat, trying to hook her arms around her legs and lock in a camel clutch, but Kate is able to scramble out between Masami’s legs and trip her causing Masami to hit the mat face first. Kate then picks Masami up and goes to send her into the ropes, but Masami reverses it. Kate comes off the ropes and as she does, Masami delivers a hard discus clothesline that drops Kate down to the mat.
Andrew Payne: Masami starting things strong for the SBS.
Miranda Augustino: They’re in their home country, they want to represent Japan proudly, I’m sure.
Masami picks Kate back up, sending her into the SBS corner as tags in Yuka. Yuka comes into the match and she begins to stomp away at Kate, wearing her down in the corner as the ref starts a five count to get Kate out of the corner. At the count of four, Yuka tags in Kayako who continues the stomping on Kate and then tags in Masami who continues the assault. Masami tags Yuka back in who backs up and taunts the Skillz Vendorz a little bit before charging in and delivering a hip attack to Kate who has her head snap back violently. Yuka then drags Kate out of the corner and tags in Kayako who climbs to the top rope and launches herself, delivering a frog splash and hooking the leg for a cover.

Two
Kickout!
Kayako pouts for a moment before she picks Kate back up and once again sends her into the ropes. Kate comes off the ropes and as she does, Kayako goes for a rolling forearm, but Kate is able to block it and grabs the woman, turning her around and delivering a standing dropkick that sends Kayako down to the mat. Kayako quickly scrambles over to her corner where she reaches up and Yuka tags herself back into the match. Yuka comes in, charging right at Kate who sidesteps Yuka and delivers a drop toe hold before hitting the ropes and delivering a basement dropkick to Yuka.
Andrew Payne: After the early onslaught, it looks like Kate is fighting back.
Miranda Augustino: Kate never gives up. You have to pretty much knock her out to beat her.
Kate picks Yuka up into a seated position and once again hits the ropes. She looks for a shining wizard, but Yuka is able to avoid it and grabs Kate by the tights and rolls her up.
One
Two
Kickout!
Both women get up to their feet as the crowd shows its appreciation as Kate looks at Yuka and then backs up to her corner where she tags in Katrina. Katrina comes into the match for the first time and stares down Yuka as they circle the ring. The two women lock up and Yuka gets behind Katrina with a waist lock. Yuka picks Katrina up and drops her to the mat before transitioning into a headlock which then is transitioned into headscissors. Katrina is able to kip up though out of the hold and Yuka gets to her feet only to be met with a kick to the gut before Katrina drops Yuka with a snap DDT. Katrina then walks over to her corner and tags Sammi into the match.
Sammi comes in off the tag picks Yuka up as the two of them deliver a series of kicks and deliver Zerg Rush before Sammi drops down, hooking the leg for a cover.
One
Two
Kickout!
Sammi gets to her feet, seeing Yuka on the mat. She then backs up, motioning to the crowd with some theatrics before doing the worm, and then getting up and delivering a standing shooting star press! Sammi once again hooks the leg for a cover.
One
Two
Masami comes in and delivers a stiff kick to the back of Sammi to break up the pin.
She yells something at Sammi as Katrina comes into the ring and she confronts the woman. As this happens, Kayako comes in and gets up in Katrina’s face, saying something to her. As they’re exchanging words, Kate is up on the top rope and as Katrina looks back, she just barely manages to get out of the way as Kate takes Kayako and Masami down with a flying crossbody. As this happens, Sammi is picking Yuka back up and Katrina gets out of the ring only to be tagged right back in. The two of them look at each other and they deliver C.T.D. and Katrina hooks the leg for the cover.

~DING DING DING~
Umi Toriyama: Shōsha wa kochira! The Skillz Vendorz and Cali-Kate!
Winner: Cali-Kate & The Skillz Vendorz
Result: Pinfall
=======================================================
The scene comes up on Kat and Sammi as they walk backstage after their tag match. They look at each other and are quietly discussing the match when there is a call to them from off camera.
Cali-Kate: Hey, hold up. Kat. Sammi. Hey.
Kat and Sammi stop and turn as Kate gets into camera view.
Cali-Kate: Hey, you two were fucking epic out there and you really impressed me. Trust me that's not as easy as it sounds.
Kat and Sammi look at each other then back at Kate.
Cali-Kate: Yea, look so, point is, I was impressed and so was Isabella. I just came from her office and I want to extend to you two an invitation to join Team Isabella for WarGames at Invasion. What do you say we show Team Kash that for all their power, we are actually the OP team here on Trauma?
Kat and Sammi pause, looking more taken aback than anything as they exchange a look as if they just got an offer to join a major video game tournament league or something. Of course, compared to them, Cali-Kate is much more of a recognized star than they are, while they’ve only been pro for a little over a year if that.
Sammi Belmont: Did she just…?
Kat Cage: I think she…
Sammi Belmont: Oh my god, she totally did!
Kat Cage: She did!
They both look at Cali-Kate at the same time with saucers for eyes.
Sammi Belmont: Are you bloody serious?!
Kat Cage: You’re totally serious right now, aren’t you?!
Cali-Kate nods with a smile.
Cali-Kate: As serious as Batman. I know you two will be great. I feel it in the Force.
Kat and Sammi exchange another look to each other before looking back to Kate.
Kat Cage: Hey…
She raises a fist, preparing for a bump. As does Sammi.
Kat Cage: We’re game!
Sammi Belmont: Too right, mate! May the Force be with all of us.
The three gamer girls hit a triple fist bump when an idea suddenly comes to Sammi. Her eyes go wide as she looks at Kate.
Sammi Belmont: Ooh! Do you wanna come join us on an overnight sesh? Street Fighter? MK? Fuck, we can even play bloody Fortnite!
Kat Cage: We should stream!
The Skill Vendorz both stop and their eyes go wide.
Kat & Sammi: LIVE STREAM WITH THE GEEKETTE EXTRAORDINAIRE!!!!!
They look at Kate, both bouncing a little and looking ever so hopeful. Cali-Kate gives them a smile.
Cali-Kate: Hell fucking yea! What are still standing here for?!
With giggles and squeals from all three, they wander off camera and the scene fades out.

Miranda Augustino: It would not surprise me, but look at the definition on Rivers arms.
~DING DING DING~
The bell rings with Iscariot stepping forward towering over River by 10 inches and outweighing her by almost a hundred pounds. He smirks and shakes his head looking over her head, River just rolls her eyes and takes a step back looking frustrated, she circles around and as they go to lock up Iscariot turns and buries his knee into the stomach of River Chance who doubles over. Iscariot then slams his forearm across the back of her neck sending River down to one knee, Iscariot pulls her up and straight into a sidewalk slam, River bounces off the mat and Iscariot smirks and dusts his hands off. He moves to his feet and circles her as the crowd boos heavily. Iscariot seems to feed off their dislike and he just puts his arms out in a jesus christ like pose.
Andrew Payne: Iscariot is really laying it on thick here.
Miranda Augustino: He took River chance off her game early playing mind games and the second she lost focus he struck like a snake in the grass…
Iscariot moves around River sizing her up as she gets to her feet, the second generation star turns around but gets hooked by Iscariot who then pops his hips and throws her up and over with an exploder suplex, River lands hard and Iscariot scrambles over into a mounted position reigning down hard right hands over and over again, River moves her leg and is able to drape her foot over the bottom rope.

River yells and spins hitting a third discus lariat, this one sending sweat flying and Iscariot finally goes down igniting the crowd.
Miranda Augustino: WOW, did you hear that?...what a strike
Andrew Payne: River took all that Iscariot had and she was able to strike back as hard as she could...she has the heart of a warrior
Iscariot starts to get up, River slides down behind him and locks in a sleeper laying back on the ground, she moves iscariot to the side and hooks her legs around him so he can’t move trying to keep the big man down and off his vertical base.

======================================================
Andew Payne: Before we carry on with more action tonight on Trauma, we like to take you to some exclusive footage! Earlier this week, Amy Connors went to the home of the Undisputed Champion Griffin Hawkins for a special interview!We go to the clip of Griffin in his living room on the couch and Amy is in a chair across from him.
Amy Connors: Griffin Hawkins, we appreciate you inviting us and the NFW Universe into your home for this special interview.
Griffin Hawkins: It's no problem at all.
Amy Connors: Let's start with what you've done here in the last few months. You made your debut in the Vlad Blackheart Memorial Tournament as a surprise entry and ended up winning it and the Title in the process. Now that you've taken it all in, how does it feel?
Griffin Hawkins: I feel like I have done what I wanted to accomplish. For 15 years people told me to my face...you can't do it. They told me that I don't have what it takes to ever be a World Champion. They told me i'm just some gimmick. I heard all the doubters say everything because they were insecure of themselves and their own abilities. When I got here, I had one goal and that's to become Champion and silence the critics. I went through the best that NFW had to offer..and I managed to win the title. I've seen in the various companies I've been in how others took shortcuts to their title victories. Some sucked up to the owner to get their titles handed to them, others slept with the boss to get their opportunities. Its those types who are too lazy to earn their accolades on their own and would rather get them cheaply without effort. Me, I've earned everything I had by working for it, and now I'm gonna show the world why I am the rightful champion. I said to I know for a fact that I am facing an uphill battle..and the challengers are gonna keep coming. I'm gonna do whatever I can to remain the Undisputed Champion.
Amy Connors: And the challengers have been coming, people like Max Lebrun, Angel Kash, Anton Crowley, all have been coming at you, looking to knock you off your perch. I guess there's no rest for the weary.
Griffin Hawkins: No, there isn't. I knew from day one that when I won this title, I would be painting a huge target on my head. When you got a belt like the Undisputed Title, you're gonna have everybody gunning for you. But I live for competition..I know that everyone is out for me, but I welcome it.
Amy Connors: One who answered your challenge is The Ringmaster. Last week he left you laying as he and The Ringmistress set you up for an attack. As he held your title above his head...is that a bad omen?
Griffin Hawkins: No..it's not. All he did was expose how much of a ballsless coward he really is. I get that he wanted my attention...but where I'm from, if you got a problem with somebody, you deal with them face to face..not from behind like a little bitch. His act of cowardice only exposes him for what he is...scared. He knows that face to face, he can't lay me out. He knows that deep down inside, he can be beaten..so he's using every tactic he can to gain the advantage. But the one mistake he made was that he didn't finish me off. Because I am STILL standing. I've been through tougher challengers than this Circus reject. He thinks he impresses anyone just because he takes me out when the light come back on? Nu Uh..he's gonna have to try harder than that. He wants my attention? At Invasion he's gonna get all of it when I send him back to the freak show where he belongs.
We go back to ringside.
======================================================
Singles match
Marcello Vitale vs Tyson Law w/The Ringmistress
Umi Toriyama: Tsugi no kontesuto wa 1tsu no aki ni yotei sa rete imasu
Navi’s cheerful “Hello!” and the beat of the music drops instantaneously! Pyros go off from the stage, multi-colored lights shine on Marcello, and theatrical fog trails down the ramp while he makes his way towards the ring. He tags a few hands along the way before he leaps onto the apron and ascends the nearest corner, staring out towards the fans as he receives a mostly-positive response of cheers.
With a confident smirk, he embraces the remix of his music for a moment before he runs across the top rope and perches onto the other corner. This gets a wild response while he encourages flash photography with a stylish pose. Finally, he jumps down onto the mat and readies himself for the match.
Umi Toriyama: Introducing first, from Florence, Italy. He weighs in at 217 pounds. He is The Man Of Many Faces! MARCELLOOOOOOOOO...VITALEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
The crowd boos a The Ringmistress steps out onto the stage, dressed in her circus announcer gear. Top hat, tailed coat and legless singlet with fishnet leggings on with her high heels. White her hands dressed in white gloves, she raises a microphone.
Ringmistress: Ladies and gentlemen! Boys and girls! Children of all ages! Get get ready! It’s time time for a display of beautiful chaos and violence! Now now, introducing to you, from Raleigh, North Carolina! The Chaos Circus’ personal assassin! The greatest striker known to mankind! Put your hands hands together for...The Shaolin Rebel!! TYSON...LAW!!!!!
Come on now...
Here we go...
Come on now...
Let's show 'em some love...
Gimme the mic...
Gimme the mic...
Come on now...
The Aftermath...
UNDEAD!!
On the word "UNDEAD", the lights on the stage suddenly illuminate it completely, flashing violently. The Ringmistress stands there, clapping her hands, urging the crowd to join her with a bright smile.
You better get up out the way,
Tomorrow we'll rise so we fight today,
And no, I don't give a
Fuck what you think and say,
Cause we are gonna rock
This whole place anyway.
You better get up out the way,
Tomorrow we'll rise so we fight today,
And no, I don't give a
Fuck what you think and say,
Cause we are gonna rock
This whole place anyway.
As the Ringmistress motions to the curtain in a manner of presenting something to the audience, the curtain is thrown open again and out comes Tyson Law; black and gold hannya mask obscuring his face, hood of his vest up over his head. He bounces on the balls of his feet inside his boots and looks around at the booing crowd. The chorus booms throughout the arena as he moves to the center of the stage to stand beside the Ringmistress who gleefully urges the audience to applaud the Shaolin Rebel. Tyson stands, watching the woman under his mask as she goads the crowd on. Finally, the eerie woman turns her eyes on the ring and Tyson turns sharply, beginning his approach.
Yo, get ya ID, passport, state skippin'
All around the world, busy with the bass hittin'
We ain't come for bustin' heads, yeah we hate trippin'
When we through rockin' the shows, man we chase kittens
J's on my feet, car full of beats
Trunk full of heat, Caribou in the seat
Frown, you can make us all clown in the street
Gimme the beat and you leakin'
No mercy for the haters that weep
The Ringmistress trails right behind Tyson Law as he walks to the ring; his attention focused intently on the ring under his mask. He makes idle motions with his hands, sort of light shadow boxing, loosening up. As he and his manager reach ringside, he pauses, shaking his hands at his side and bouncing on his feet again before moving methodically around the ring.
On to the next, Minnesota to the Netherlands
Veterans, caravans, gettin' cheddar, man
Round the world in a day, off in LA
Oklahoma, Dallas, Kansas City to the Bay
Everybody hyphy, the South really like me
Ill Bill got it where the East Coast invites me
Sets in the air when the mood really strikes me
Hey, we 'bout to bubble, so embedded in your psyche
As Tyson circles the ring, the Ringmistress ascends the ring steps with a hint of sensuality to her motion. She dips down elegantly under the middle rope. Tyson runs in front of the announce table and up onto the apron, showcasing his agility. He turns as he stands to face the crowd, slowly lifting his head. He calmly soaks in the boos of the audience before taking the rope in one hand. He steps over the middle rope with one leg, pausing to look around again before entering the ring and 'boxer jogs' to his corner where the Ringmistress waits. He psyches himself up in the corner as she removes his hooded vest for him. Here, Tyson turns and props himself up on the top turnbuckle, taking a seat as he finally reaches up and removes his mask, revealing a cold, focused scowl. He hands the mask off to the Ringmistress as he sits there on the turnbuckle, waiting for things to get started.
~DING DING DING~
As the bell rings, Tyson Law sits on the turnbuckle, watching Marcello with a raised eyebrow. To the joy of the Japanese crowd, Marcello Vitale is dressed as My Hero Academia’s ALL MIGHT and once again, he’s got the attitude to go with it. He strikes a heroic pose on the turnbuckle before hopping down to the mat and dramatically points to Tyson.
Marcello Vitale: I’M GONNA TAKE YOU DOWN, VILLAIN!
Tyson Law can’t help but actually smirk a little and nod at Marcello. ‘Pretty good.’ They start to circle up with Tyson gauging Marcello’s reflexes by feigning lunges at him or faking a low kick. Marcello shows he’s ready to react in an instant, even if it has him a little on edge, facing a member of the Chaos Circus that’s been hounding him for weeks. Finally, the two step in and lock up, collar & elbow. Marcello starts powering Tyson back towards the ropes but Tyson reverses it and pushes him against them instead. The referee calls for a break. Marcello and Tyson immediately let each other go but as Tyson starts to back away he SLAPS Marcello across the face! The Japanese crowd boo at the display of poor sportsmanship and Tyson Law throws two middle fingers at the cosplay wrestler.
Tyson Law: How’s that for clowning, motherfucker?!
A little irritated, Marcello rubs his jaw and steps out, lunging to lock up with Tyson again. This time Tyson ducks under and comes up behind him, laying kicks to the legs and his sides, mixing in chops and elbows. Tyson’s martial arts based arsenal being put to work as he just starts laying into Vitale, mercilessly. To top off the combo, Tyson ran to the ropes, came back and ducked under an attempt at a back elbow by Vitale, to which Law went under, hit a handspring and came back with a Pele Kick, knocking Vitale to the mat! Tyson kipped up to his feet, spreading his arms arrogantly. The crowd boos. Tyson throws up the fingers again. Nagoya throws it right back at him. As Vitale sits up, Law hits him in the spine with a stiff kick. He then cartwheels over in front of the cosplayer and hits a basement dropkick, flooring him for a cover.
ONE!
TWO!
KICKOUT!
Tyson picks Marcello up to his feet and hits him with a stiff backhand chop. Marcello tries to come back with a shot of his own but Tyson swats his arm down and feeds him a European Uppercut. Marcello spun and Tyson hit a rear hurricanrana but Marcello managed to roll right through it with a burst of adrenaline and as Tyson came up onto his knees, Marcello drilled him with a basement dropkick of his own. Tyson fell forward onto the mat and rolled out of the ring immediately.
Andrew Payne: Tyson having to rethink his strategy as Marcello starts coming back from that opening onslaught.
Miranda Augustino: Check on him, Kitten!
As Miranda says this, the Ringmistress is already coming over to make sure Tyson’s keeping his head clear. As she coaches him in her own dernaged, adorable way, she doesn’t see what Tyson sees and that’s Marcello Vitale coming across the ring with a Suicide Dive. Just as Marcello comes through the ropes, Tyson SHOVES the Ringmistress out of the way as Vitale SLAMS into him, sending the Shaolin Rebel hard into the metal barricade. Ringmistress scrambles across the padded floor to put a distance between herself and the two wrestlers as Marcello starts getting up. In spite of allegiance, he shoots Ringmistress a quick apology for almost putting her in danger before he picks Tyson up to his feet and the two start a little brawl on the outside with Marcello making a comeback. The brawl ends up inside the crowd when Marcello whips Tyson into the barricade again and raises a fist up!
Marcello Vitale: UNITED STATES....OF...SMASH!!!!
The crowd shows their anticipation and amusement as Vitale goes running across the floor, up onto the apron to the ring. He sprints across the apron edge, leaping off impressively and NAILS Tyson with a brutal Superman Punch that sends him tumbling over the barricade into the audience. Marcello follows him into the crowd, brawling while the referee starts to count which prompts Vitale to start guiding Law back towards the ring. Like hell does he wanna win this by countout and he throws Tyson back inside the ring, wasting no time in following him but the Ringmistress runs over and grabs Marcello by the foot, pulling and tugging to slow him down. He slides back out and starts arguing with her as the referee tries to coax him back inside. As Marcello tries to get back in, Ringmistress grabs him by the arm to which the referee starts chiding her for it. Seeing an opening, Tyson gets back to his feet and hits the ropes. He comes across and baseball slides for a dropkick but Marcello throws himself out of the way. Unfortunately, as Ringmistress is holding onto his arm, this pulls her right in the way for Tyson to dropkick the hell out of her and she hits the barricade.
Miranda Augustino: KITTEN!!!!!!
Miranda doesn’t just yell this. She practically shrieks it as she watches her girlfriend go down hard. Tyson freezes with a look of horror on his face, realizing what he did. The smug, cockiness is gone, replaced by sorrow and regret. Miranda Augustino runs over and immediately goes to Ringmistress’ side; face wrought with worry as she checks on her. She looks at Marcello and starts cursing him. Vitale, looking just as remorseful as Tyson does, shrugs up his hands. Finally regaining his bearing, Tyson balls up his fists and goes right for Vitale, resuming their brawl. He throws Vitale into the ring and comes up onto the apron, cursing him to get to his feet. As Vitale does, Tyson springboards in for a forearm shot but Marcello drills him with a European Uppercut as he comes down and knocks the senses right out of him. Nagoya, Japan shouts at the pop of the impact as Tyson eats the forearm and hits the mat. Marcello goes for a cover as Tyson lays out, practically motionless.
ONE!
TWO!
T--KICKOUT!!
Andrew Payne: Law’s not out yet! Sorry, guys, I’m calling it alone here. Miranda’s still checking on Ringmistress. I honestly can’t say I blame her. That was a nasty hit. Pure accident, though, I’m sure.
The referee even slides out of the ring to check on Ringmistress with Miranda as Marcello pulls Tyson to his feet again. The referee coaxes Miranda to go back to the commentary table while Marcello and Tyson trade a few more blows. Vitale maintains the advantage and grabs Tyson around the head, lifting him up to deliver NERD RAGE!!!! As he goes for the cover, however, the referee is still outside, making sure the Ringmistress is okay. Marcello gets to his feet and goes to the ropes to get the ref back in. The crowd suddenly begins to boo angrily as LADY DEATH comes out of the front row and slithers in behind him. With Marcello still distracted, she runs up and drops down behind him. LOW BLOW!!!!! Marcello stumbles back from the ropes as Lady Death gets Tyson up! Seeing the opportunity, he grabs Marcello and sets him up with his head in between his legs. He follows through! SHAOLIN DESTROYER!!! However just as Lady Death is about to go for the ref, the crowd pops loudly as DENNIS STOWAND came sprinting down the ramp and slid into the ring! Lady Death turns on Stowand and goes for a lariat. He ducks under as Tyson Law gets to his feet but Stowand turns to keep his eyes on Lady Death. From behind, Tyson Law spins him around and goes for the Green Mist but Stowand moves out of the way as Lady Death comes in for a back attack. TYSON MISTS LADY DEATH!! She falls and rolls out of the ring as Tyson turns, enraged towards Stowand. The British wrestler NAILS him with a superkick!
Andrew Payne: I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS! DENNIS STOWAND JUST CAME OUTTA THE BACK TO EVEN THE ODDS FOR MARCELLO VITALE!!!!
Miranda Augustino: VITALE NEEDS TO PAY FOR HURTING KITTEN!!
Andrew Payne: Now that was an accident, Miranda!
Miranda Augustino: Bullshit!!!!
Dennis Stowand shakes Marcello Vitale to get him awake. Outside the ring, the Ringmistress starts getting up. Stowand slides out of the ring as the ref starts turning around. Marcello Vitale groggily moves to the corner where Tyson Law fell near. He jumps up and hits a Split-Legged Corkscrew Moonsault! G.A.M.E O.V.E.R!!!!!!! Cover!!!!
ONE!
TWO!
THREE!!!
~DING DING DING~
Umi Toriyama: Kore ga anata no shōshadesu! MARCELLOOOOOOOO...VITALEEEEEEEEE!!!
Andrew Payne: Marcello Vitale picks up a well earned victory in NFW. His first!
Miranda Augustino: Yeah with help from Dennis Stowand!! Goddamn it!!!
Andrew Payne: Dennis was evening out the playing field.
Miranda Augustino: He’s an accessory to Marcello’s violence against Kitten!! You don’t hit a fucking manager, Andy!!!!
As “Song of Storms” plays, Dennis Stowand gets back into the ring and stands in front of Marcello Vitale and offers out a hand. Marcello accepts the handshake as Tyson Law rolls out of the ring and helps Ringmistress around the ring, then helps Lady Death to her feet as the three Chaos Circus backed up the ramp. All three glaring and cursing Marcello and Dennis as the shot cut away.
Winner: Marcello Vitale
Result: Pinfall
=====================================================
Johanna Krieger: Freedom...is the ability to challenge yourself far beyond the constraints of traditional rule and order...
Her eyes light up. A smile flashes across he black lipstick covered lips.
Johanna Krieger: I never knew true freedom till I stopped caring what was expected of me and embraced what I expected and wanted for myself. Growing up for me was never about following my dreams. Following MY desires. No. It was about the family line. The family tradition. I grew up in Bavaria, in a police household. My Grandfather, Mother, Father and older brothers and sister. All members of the police department.
Johanna snarls and lets out a small laugh under her breath before sitting up and pushing off the chair to get to her feet.
Johanna Krieger: I saw it all, the darkness I was expected to stand against. And for the longest time I thought I was going the right thing. Helping. But slowly I saw the darkness win. What kind of justice was that?. So, I thought...fuck it. I was going to live for me. And I set off to become a professional wrestler. It led me all around the world. And eventually it led me to NFW. To team with Mai under Janet's banner. And tonight, I step in the ring with one half of the Trash Pandas...Arley Kirk....
Johanna paces back and forth letting out a deep sigh.
Johanna Krieger: Oh Arley, you suggested this. You stepped up to the plate. You are showing you have guts and are willing to face anyone. I applaud that. It's brave. Not very smart, but brave. See Marshal Law is going to take over. Mai is going to take your tag team partner and bust light tube after light tube over her body until she is laying in a pool of blood, sweat, tears, glass and phosphorus. And you and I will beat the living hell out of one another until I knock you out, or you tap out. This isn't and has never been personal. I don't know you well enough to hate you Arley. But you are in my way. And tonight in Nagoya Japan....a Trash Panda...just becomes trash
=====================================================
Singles Match
Arley Kirk vs. Johanna Krieger w/Janet Jacobs
Umi Toriyama: Minasama! Tsugi no kontesuto wa 1tsu no aki ni yotei sa rete imasu!
"Milkshake" hits the system and there is a loud POP as Arley Kirk appears atop the Tron, black fuzzy LED angel wings on her back. Arley rips open a juice box and skolls it before slamming the empty carton on her forehead several times and getting another POP as she slides down to the ramp and makes her way down it, stopping for quick hugs and high fives and photos.
Umi Toriyama: Mishigan-shū fenton mizūmi kara. Taijū wa 150-pondo de, kawaiitorasshupanda GO no hanbundesu... Koreha `jisatsu burondo', ārīkākudesu!'
Arley opens a juice box at ringside and gets a good laugh as a small child opens his mouth and she pours Apple juice into it and also gets a warm reaction from giving her angel wings to a girl around the same age. Arley finally jumps up onto the apron and launches over the top rope before she gets one final POP by running and leaping to the top rope, showing off her superb balance as she stands dead center and motions for the fans to get louder. Arley Kirk backflips down to the ring and strikes a determined fighting pose as her music fades..
"Cut Throat" by Kittie blasts over the PA system as Johanna Krieger steps out onto the stage, she holds a fist in the air as a spotlight shnes from above and the house lights slowly come up as she drops her fist.
Umi Toriyama: Soshite, kanojo no taisen aite wa, 135-pondo no omo-sa de, Johanna Kreuger!
She makes her way down to the ring almost at a marching pace ignoring the fans as she gets to the bottom and stomps up the steps before leaning back on the top rope, she hooks her leg around the middle rop resting it on the bottom one before pushing up and into the ring
Both Johanna and Arley seemed to be exchanging verbal barbs as the referee called for the bell, Kirk seemingly able to infuriate the only way she knows how as Krieger grimaced and launched a hard right hand, only for Kirk to duck and swing under, taking Krieger over with a single arm snapmare. Kirk was going for a flipping jawbreaker, yet Krieger cleverly caught her with a mat-based modified arm drag and hooked in a leg scissors. Arley was able to wriggle free, yet Krieger held onto the arm and dragged her to her feet. There was a big boost in crowd volume when Krieger tried to get Kirk into a Muay Thai clutch situation, yet Arley was able to seize the leg and drop Johanna on her back before leaping over into a bridging pin!
ONE
TWO
Johanna Krieger angrily powered out, though Arley was the first to her feet and she got a cheer from the fans as she hit the ropes, and Janet converted it into a BOO by catching a handful of Arley's hair, causing her to simply hit the mat hard as she tried to get away, leaving her at the mercy of a repeated stomp barrage from Krieger. Johanna got down and hooked one of Arley's arms behind her head before she commenced kneeing her in the shoulder, neck and back before finally dropping her with a knee to the side of the head and covering.
ONE
TWO
T..
The Nagoya crowd came alive once again when AK got a shoulder up just in time! Krieger and Janet seemed to be furious, with Janet ordering Johanna to get that "scrawny rat" to her feet and Krieger being only too happy to oblige, delivering a sharp knee to the side in the process. Irish whip by Johanna Krieger, Kirk hitting the ropes and coming back - Krieger with a brutal spinning backf.. no, Kirk with the matrix evasion and Krieger missed! Kirk kipping up behind Krieger, Orton style backbreaker! Cover!
ONE
T..
The fans ROARED their disapproval as Janet grabbed onto Arley's legs and dragged her out of the ring! Arley was left helpless as she bumped her head on both the apron and the floor while Janet put the boots to her over and over. From inside the ring, the referee had started his count and Janet looked over and nodded, dragging AK to her feet as Johanna gave her the signal, taking a run up and launching! SUICIDE DIVE! NO! Arley leapt out of the way and let Janet eat the full impact! The fans popped as Arley leapt to the apron, sprung to the top and came off onto both of them with a twisting split legged moonsault! The referee restarted his count as the body pile started to stir.
ONE
TWO
THREE
FOUR
Janet was looking to be out of it, yet both Krieger and Kirk were edging their respective ways back to the ring apron. At the six count, both women rolled inside gingerly, Johanna letting out a war cry as she delivered a HARD forearm. Arley angrily and loudly responded in kind! With both women on a knee, the Japanese crowd grew louder and louder as the two of them exchanged forearm smashes to the face! Krieger finally got the better of the exchange, ducking underneath and kicking Arley in the head as she reared back for an uppercut. Krieger easily dragged a groggy Kirk to her feet and whipped her hard into the corner, following it up with what was looking like a corner lariat! The fans went crazy when Kirk sprung up into an impromptu handstand on the top, allowed Krieger to collide with the corner, swung around and collected her with a sunset flip powerbomb into a pin!
ONE

T..
The referee didn't see it, yet when Krieger powered out and managed to convert into her own bridge, Janet grabbed onto Arley's ankles and held them down. The fans hated her for it, but regardless!

Arley was furious as Janet finally let go and Krieger let her out of the pin, the referee calling for the bell.
Umi Toriyama: Soshite shōsha, Johanna Kreuger!

Miranda Augustino: A win is a win, Andy.
Winner: Johanna Kreuger
Result: Pinfall
=====================================================
The camera shifts backstage. We see a woman sitting on a bench from the chest down. Taped hands flexing in and out in an effort to keep some kind of rage under control. The gear and entrance robe are recognizable. Even with the hood up over the woman’s head as the camera pans up, we know it’s Angel Kusanagi. As she sits there, off in her own world, there’s a knock on the door to her locker room.Angel Kusanagi: ...Nandayo…? WHAT?!
Voice: What’s up Bonkers?
Angel lifts her head at the voice. We see her face partially under the hood. Torn with emotion. Confusion and sadness on her face. She looks, practically, near tears.
Angel Kusanagi: ...Okay….
The door opens, closes and a few seconds pass as before the Nagoya audience gives a rising cheer to the sight of Adrianna Salvatore stepping into the frame. The self proclaimed Queen of Anarchy, King of the World, sits down on the bench beside her former stable member. Adrianna’s still in her street gear as she’s not booked tonight but she has her gear bag with her.
Adrianna Salvatore: Hey you. Came by to see if you wanted to ride to Tokyo with me for my Violence Dream match. Aside from Aella, you’re the only person I know there.
Angel lifts her head, turning to Adrianna and frowning in a more humored expression.
Angel Kusanagi: You...scared?
Adrianna makes a face and lets out a ‘pfft!’
Adrianna Salvatore: Fuck no, just...you know how I get around new people. Social fucking anxiety? Remember?
Angel Kusanagi: ...Hai...I go with. You come tomorrow?
Adrianna Salvatore: Of course!
Adrianna slaps Angel on the back before losing her smile and looking at the girl.
Adrianna Salvatore: Hey, so...what’s with you lately?
Angel Kusanagi: Eh?
Adrianna Salvatore: It’s pre-match time and you’re sulking around rather than hitting lockers and talking about “kill kill kill the demon.” What’s going on?
Pause. Adrianna sighs and her face goes sympathetic.
Adrianna Salvatore: ...Is it what’s going on with Melissa?
Silence. Angel looks down and nods. She brings up a hand under her hood to wipe her eye, maybe her nose. Adrianna goes to reach out with an arm but Angel sticks her arm up, blocking the attempt and shakes her head.
Angel Kusanagi: Don’t! No pity…. I...I figure out. Have match with demon fuck boy. Must focus.
Adrianna Salvatore: Right; and you gotta focus on Anna Daniels tomorrow but tonight? Xaphan. You know anything about him?
Angel scoffs and laughs a little, looking to Adrianna.
Angel Kusanagi: Kare wa Eavan-chan no moto bōifurendo no gurūpu to issho ni korogatte iru koto o shitte imasu. Sore igai wa shirimasen. Watashi wa ki ni shimasen. Watashi wa kare ga nanigadekiruka o mitekimashita. Watashi wa kare o utsu koto ga dekiru koto o shitte imasu. Kare wa ashita no watashi no shiai no chottoshita u~ōmuappu ni narudaroushi, Sela-san wa watashi ga shinryaku de kanojo no Amerika senshuken o ofu ni shita toki ni kanojo ni nani o shiyou to shite iru no ka no sanpuru o eru tame ni memo o toru koto ga dekimasu.
Adrianna remains silent as Angel stands to her feel and looks directly into the camera.
Angel Kusanagi: OI!!!! Sela-san! You watch! Pay attention! Demon boy! I BREAK YOU FUCKING FACE!!!!
Seething with rage, Angel storms passed the camera and out of the locker room. Adrianna watches her go, running a hand through her short blonde hair and just shakes her head.
Adrianna Salvatore: I need to fucking learn Japanese….
She sighs, walking out of the frame as we fade to a commercial.
=====================================================
Singles Match
Angel Kusanagi vs Xaphan
Umi Toriyama: Tsugi no gēmu wa 1tsu no aki ni yotei sa rete imasu
I see diamonds in the sky
Diamonds in the sky
The things in my eyes just slowly fade away
This pain never does me wrong so I will not stray
Should I stay here and pray to a stature in a shade?
I worry about today, not the next decade
From the curtain, Angel Kusanagi bursts out, throwing it aside as she jogs out onto the stage in her hooded haori over her gear. Angel slows to a steady stroll as she paces on the stage, looking around at the crowd from under her hood and gas mask. Only the wildness in her eyes is visible as she takes in the sight of the audience before focusing her attention down at the ring.
Let me up off my knees
I still believe there’s something I need see
Fly through the trees, over the seas
Searching everywhere to be free again
After a moment, Angel's eyes narrow over her mask and under hood in a clear hint of a demented yet gleeful smile. Without any excessive theatrics, Angel steps forward, making her way down the ramp with her wicked gaze locked on the ring ahead of her.
Tell me, what do you see (when you see me)?
Tell me, what do you see (when you see me)?
Don’t call me a monster
I’ve just got my wings
Yeah, I got the wings
Yeah, I got the wings on my back now
Yeah, I got the wings, got the wings on my back
Angel reaches the ring, running and sliding in under the bottom rope where she pops up onto one knee in the center. In this position, she lifts her head and watches the audience (or her opponent if she enters second) with cold calculation and focus. One hand comes up and removes her mask from her face, revealing a cold smile before she rises and backs into her corner, removing the rest of her entrance gear.
Umi Toriyama: Ima, ringu ni, 5 fīto 5 ni tatte, Ōsaka Nihon no Dōtonbori kara 125-pondo no omo-sa, tenshi kusa san
Code: "Remember Me (FESTER Remix)" by Code: Pandorum hits as Xaphan makes his way to the ring.
Umi Toriyama: Ima ringu de, 5 fīto 11 o tate, paradaisu, Xaphan kara no jūryō 207-pondo
Andrew Payne: This should be an amazing match, we have the fast hard hitting home country girl Angel Kusanagi against the high flying Luchadore Xaphan
Miranda Augustino: This should be like a video game, or a dragon ball Z fight...my body is ready…
~DING DING DING~
The bell rings and straight away the crowd is very pro Angel, not just because of the fact she’s Japanese, but also because people can’t stand Crowley’s demon. They seem to measure each other up, Angel though covers distance quickly with a low leg kick slamming her shin into Xaphans thigh, he moves sideways and as Angel goes to do it again Xaphan lifts his leg and moves back, Angel stays on the attack throwing another forward kick and then as she goes for a backfist Xaphan ducks it and jumps across the ring, landing on his neck and upper back before popping up to his feet, he steps forward and Angel snaps in a fast armdrag take down, they both get to their feet and Xaphan hits a forward arm drag flipping Angel over, Xaphan and Angel both kip up and turn to face one another in a stalemate.
Andrew Payne: The speed that they just moved at was amazing. And you have to remember Xaphan is two hundred and seven pounds
Miranda Augustino: He moves fast for a guy that big, but then again Angel hits very hard for a woman who is five foot five and a buck twenty five…
They move around each other again, Angel faints for a leg kick Xaphan lifts his leg and Angel blacks him instead with a few vicious forearms. Xaphan though goes for a lariat, Angel ducks it and hits a spinning heel kick to Xaphan, he ends up near the ropes and Angel hits a high angle dropkick sending Xaphan out to the floor, Angel gets a head of steam and hits the ropes before flying through with a suicide dive, this pushes Xaphan back against the barricade. Angel slides back in the ring and runs in an arc going for a fosbury flop, this time Xaphan is ready for her, he moves out of the way, Angel lands on her feet outside the ring and Xaphan hits a step up Enzugiri sending Angel down with a sickening thud.
Andrew Payne: That was great timing by Xaphan, he was able to avoid the fosbury and hit a hard kick
Miranda Augustino: It’ll take more than that to keep Kusanagi down though…
Xaphan rolls Angel into the ring, he climbs to the top rope and leaps off with a top rope elbow drop, he slams into Angels sternum and rolls off before looking to the top rope again, he climbs back up and comes off with a shooting star press this time, he crashes down onto her and hooks the leg.
ONE
TWO
Angel Kusanagi kicks out. Xaphan stays on the attack he pops up and throws his body into the air landing on Angel with a senton, he then pops up, pulls Angel to her feet before hitting a northern lights suplex slamming her down with a bridging pin.
ONE
TWO
Angel kicks out again, Xaphan adjusts his mask and then tries to intimidate the referee. This gives Angel some time to recover, Xaphan turns his attention back to Kusanagi, she hits a dropkick to Xaphans knee, he drops down to one knee holding it, Angel then hits the ropes, she leaps up and hits a hurricanrana slamming Xaphan head first into the mat.
Miranda Augustino: A hurricanrana ddt!
Andrew Payne: That had to hurt!...and so creative
Miranda Augustino: Xaphan’s egg just got scrambled!
Angel gets to her feet and looks over at Xaphan who has crawled over to the corner sitting against the bottom and middle rope, she steps back and then runs in at full force with her sliding elbow smash, Xaphan gets hit hard and looks out of it, Angel pulls Xaphan out of the corner, Xaphan tries to sit up and Angel hits the ropes before blasting him with a soccer kick right to the chest, Xaphan goes back and rolls over his shoulder to his knees, Angel Kusanagi steps forward, hooks her arms around Xaphans midsection and picks him up for the Boseki Driver dropping him on his head, she hooks the leg!

Umi Toriyama: Soshite shōsha, Angel Kusanagi!
Winner: Angel Kusanagi

=========================================================
Isabella is in her office, sitting behind a desk as she watches the show from a monitor. She looks up, standing up and straightening out her dress as she flashes a quick smile.Isabella Santiago: Tonight has been amazing so far and there’s still some action left. First, let me be the first to say, welcome to team Isabella Skillz Vendorz. I know the two of you have a ton of potential and I want to see that potential come to fruition as you help Team Isabella walk out of Wargames with the victory.
Isabella once again smiles as she stands there behind her desk.
Isabella Santiago: But before I get to that announcement, I have a couple more I’d like to make first. First, next week, in our main event, we will be seeing a six person tag match as we see the team of Griffin Hawkins, Marcello Vitale, and Dennis Stowand taking on the team of Tyson Law, Lady Death, and The Ringmaster of The Chaos Circus. Speaking of The Chaos Circus though, I refuse to allow this group run roughshod over my show. This group has been attacking talent and tonight, after seeing Dennis come out to help Marcello avoid another beatdown, I decided that at Invasion, we will have a tag team No Disqualification match with the team of Dennis Stowand and Marcello Vitale taking on Tyson Law and Lady Death.
Isabella sits back down at her desk as she continues to look into the camera.
Isabella Santiago: But as for Wargames, I wanted to give everyone involved the opportunity to fight for something. So, inside of WarGames, whichever team walks out victorious, they will receive title opportunities at the very first Trauma exlusive Pay-per View, March Misery! But, with that being said, there’s only three title matches for four people, leaving one person out. The team captains, Angel Kash and Cali-Kate, whichever team wins, one of those two will earn a contract for a match against the Undisputed Champion anytime they wish. Now please, enjoy the rest of the show.
Andrew Payne: That’s three huge announcements by Isabella!
Miranda Augustino: Now everyone in WarGames knows exactly what they’re fighting for besides just simple bragging rights.

Singles Match
Dennis Stowand vs The Ringmaster w/The Ringmistress
"Hungry Like The Wolf" starts up as Dennis strolls out in his usual track jacket. He makes his way down with a snarky smile, ready to kill.
Umi Toriyama: Soshite, kanojo no taisen aite wa, 135-pondo no omo-sa de, Dennis Stowand!
He gets to the ring and hops in. Taking off his jacket.
The eerie, creeper words that start “The Netherworld Circus” are heard echoing through the dark arena. As they finish, spotlights come up on the ramp and some dark, evil looking clowns are seen dancing around and then two of them hold up a dark curtain at the entrance and stand there, waiting as the rest continue dancing around on the ramp.
Ringmistress: Ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, prepare yourself for a night of dark and violence. The Chaos Circus proudly brings to you, the greatest show of violence on earth, the dark one himself, your favorite performer and mine, the one, the only, The Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiingmasterrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
As she finshes up the introduction, Ringmaster bursts through the curtain, tipping his tophat towards the ring to his girl before giving kicking the cane off the ground and twirling it around and placing it back down and making his way to the ring followed by his clowns who are skipping and dancing behind him. He makes it to the ring and tosses his tophat to Ringmistress followed by his cane and steps into the ring. He removes his jacket and hands it off to her as she steps out of the ring and the lights go off once more. When the lights come on, the music ends and the clowns have disappeared from around ringside, leaving only the Ringmaster and Ringmistress there.
The two men look at each other as they begin to circle the ring. Ringmaster has a very unorthodox stance as he looks ready to brawl with Dennis. They finally meet in the middle and lock up as Dennis goes behind Ringmaster with a waistlock and tries to pick the man up, but Ringmaster delivers a couple of back elbows to break free from Dennis.who staggers back a couple of steps and that leaves an opening for Ringmaster to turn around and pull Dennis in and deliver a headbutt before following it up with a discus lariat. Ringmaster takes a bow as the hurting Ringmistress claps for him and the crowd boos him.
Andrew Payne: Ringmaster better be taking this match seriously, Dennis beat two members of the circus already.
Miranda Augustino: But this is the leader, he’s going to show Dennis what happens when you mess with his family.
Ringmaster then picks Dennis up, sending him into the corner. He charges in and delivers a corner forearm smash before grabbing Dennis by the head and looks to deliver a running bulldog, but Dennis is able to throw Ringmaster off of him and avoid it. As Ringmaster turns around, he eats a a couple of knife edge chops to the chest that echo through the arena. Dennis then takes Ringmaster and sends him into the ropes. Ringmaster comes off the ropes and when he does, Dennis takes him and delivers a tilt-a-whirl gutbuster before following it up by grabbing the legs of Ringmaster and putting him into a Boston Crab.
Ringmistress yells up at Dennis, but he seems to ignore her at this point and you can see that frustrates her. Ringmaster though is able to shift himself and roll back onto his back and throw Dennis off of him with his leg strength. That doesn’t matter though as Dennis just comes back as Ringmaster sits up and delivers a series of kicks to the chest before taking a step back and winding up, delivering what looks like could be a knockout blow with a kick to the side of Ringmaster’s head.
Andrew Payne: Ringmaster might be out after that.
Miranda Augustino: Nah, he’s tougher than that. Kitten’s told me so herself.
Dennis drops down and hooks the leg for a cover.

Kickout!
Dennis picks Ringmaster back up to his feet and sends him into the ropes. Ringmaster comes off the ropes and he gets dropped with a clothesline. Dennis goes to hit the ropes, but as he does, Ringmistress reaches up and trips him up a little bit. Dennis turns around to put his attention on the woman on the floor as Ringmistress steps back a few steps, a look of fear on her face. This distraction was enough though because when Dennis turns around, Ringmaster delivers a hard back elbow before grabbing Dennis and following it up with a Tiger Driver and he holds Dennis down for a pin.

Two
Kickout!
Ringmaster picks Dennis up into a seated position as he hits the ropes. Ringmaster comes off the ropes and delivers a sliding forearm before picking Dennis up and going for a brainbuster, but Dennis delivers a few knees to the top of Ringmaster’s head that allows him to break free. Dennis drops down behind Ringmaster and delivers a chopblock that drops Ringmaster to a knee. Dennis hits the ropes and this time he delivers a knee to the side of Ringmaster’s head. Dennis then grabs Ringmaster by the leg and as he looks to lock in the Magic Wand, Ringmistress hops up to the ring apron.
Andrew Payne: What’s she doing now?
Miranda Augustino: Kitten obviously doesn’t like how Dennis is treating Ringmaster and is letting him know.
She continues shouting at Dennis who lets go of Ringmaster and comes over, getting in the face of the woman. Ringmistress doesn’t back down this time though as she continues to yell. At this point, the ref walks over, telling Ringmistress to get down, but she doesn’t follow the order. As the ref is distracted, Ringmaster walks over to the corner, seeing his walking cane resting there. He picks it up and looks at Dennis from behind. Dennis turns around and as Ringmistress is keeping the referee distracted, Ringmaster cracks Dennis over the head with the cane, breaking it in two. He tosses both pieces out of the ring as Ringmistress finally drops from the apron.
Andrew Payne: Oh, come on! They had a plan all along!
Miranda Augustino: Never doubt Kitten and Ringmaster, Andy.
Ringmaster picks Dennis back up to his feet and delivers a rolling elbow that drops Dennis before he finishes the Final Act with the lunging elbow strike to the jaw of the downed Dennis and hooks the legs.

Umi Toriyama: Soshite shōsha, The Ringmaster!
Andrew Payne: Ringmaster stole this match from Dennis.
Miranda Augustino: No, him and Kitten just outsmarted Dennis which isn’t tough to do.
Winner: Ringmaster
Result: Pinfall
==========================================================
The scene opens up backstage where the cameras spot Angel Kash, the leader of Team Kash in the War Games match up. The fans greet her presence with loud boos shes dressed to the nines in a gold dress, gold high heels, and a gold tiara on her head. The Trillion Dollar Princess has a smug smirk plastered on her face as she crosses her leg over the other as she begins to speak in her normal tone.Angel Kash: Last week I announced my entire team a team that will beat Team Isabella. And tonight they will not let me down as they give you peasants a first hand lesson. A sneak peak at what will happen at War Games. And I do feel bad for their opponents I mean just a little bit though.
Angel lets out a small chuckle highly amused as the boos once again flow from the fans.
Angel Kash: Let us start with Johana Kreiger who will get a chance to get her hands on one half of the tag team champions, and sister of one of the most detestable human beings on the planet Lash Donahue. But enough about him before I throw up in my mouth.
Ange sticks her finger in her mouth making a gag face. Before returning her gaze back to the cameras in front of her. As she soon begins to speak in the same arrogant tone.
Angel Kash: Now we all know Martial Law will be the next NFW tag team champions. And tonight Johana will show why I mean they already made an example once of the Trash Pandas, and will make one Arley you have no idea what you’re getting into the ring with. You might have gold around our waist but it will be picked off of you and Johana tonight will be breaking you an example to Team Santaigo. But that is just the appetizer to the main course the main event. I am sorry you’re in the wrong place at the wrong time, not really though.
Angel lets out another chuckle amused before snapping her fingers, and having a drink brought to her which she sips, before shooing away the staff.
Angel Kash: Then Super Tiger who has already been beaten down time and time again. In fact your opponent tonight is a woman who has made examples out of everyone put in front of her. And tonight in this barbaric and disgusting match which yes it's disgusting but you know what I have the utmost confidence that Mai will still be ready to help crush Team Santaigo in the war games match. Right after, she destroys everyone's favorite masked reject. So Cali Kate, Adrianna and Emmie I do hope you will be watching I know I will be.
Angel lets out an evil sounding chuckle, as she takes another sip of her drink.
Angel Kash: Now Isabella I hope you’re ready to pay up because one my team will be getting their rightful title shots that have been a long time coming to them. After Team Kash beats Team Santaigo at War Games, and life on Truma is gonna change for everyone. And the final reward is the sweetest of them the contract to a title shot anytime I want it presented to me. I mean with this Griffin do watch your back.
Angel smirks before continuing on.
Angel Kash: I know Cali Kate thinks for a second that her rag tag team will win this. But lets face reality and reality is you will finally be put in your place where you belong. Under the boots of Team Kash just like whatever chumps you pick for your last two will just be more lambs to the slaughter. But it will be cute to see you try and fend off the inevitable but really it will be a futile effort.
Angel sips her drink chuckling in an evil fashion. As she returns her gaze to the camera.
Angel Kash: But with the contract which is truly money in the bank I will be cashing in literally whenever and wherever I want. For my rightful title shot the one that Isabella has refused time and time again to grant well no longer will she be able to hold me back. No longer will she be able to hold back the true talent on this show. And when you least expect it you will all have no choice but to call Angel Kash champion. See you soon Team Santiago.
Angel blows a smug kiss as the scene fades to black.

Main Event
Light Tube Cabin Death Match
Super Tiger vs Mai Blackman
In the center of the ring, Umi Toriyama speaks with a solemnly, stressing the danger of this match just in her tone.
Umi Toriyama: Tsugi no kontesuto wa 1tsu no aki ni yotei sa rete ori, raitochūbukyabindesumatchidesu! Katsu tame ni, 1-ri no kyōgi-sha wa, koko ni hyōji sa rete iru 3ttsu no kyabin no uchi, garasu-kan de kōsei sa reta 2tsu no kyabin ni taisen aite o haichi suru hitsuyō ga arimasu. Hajime ni…
As Hatsune Miku’s “The World Is Mine” plays, Super Tiger comes out to rainbow colored pyro, holding her arms out and spinning in place as the pyro shoots across the stage, before running down the ramp. She will stop and put a souvenir mask on a child in the front row, a la Rey Mysterio, before climbing into the ring, and spinning in circles again as pyro shoots from the ring posts.
Umi Toriyama: Nihon no Kyōto kara, 105-pondo no omo-sa! SUPAAAAAAAAA TYYYYYGAAAAAAAA!!!!!! Shōkai, kanojo no taisen aite....
Miranda Augustino: Andy, I’m not sure I even wanna think of what this is gonna look like. Tiger’s just too adorable for something like this!
Andrew Payne: Maybe so, but she’s grown up in this environment. She’s got the experience that Blackman doesn’t have.
Miranda Augustino: Blackman’s a goddamn street fighter, Andy! She doesn’t need experience with swinging light tubes around to fuck someone up! I don’t like this, really.
As the opening siren note sounds throughout the arena, all focus goes to the entryway as a pre-recorded man’s voice comes through the speaker. As he speaks and the guitar starts to slowly kick in, the silhouette of an imposing woman comes stepping towards the camera.
Let's face it.
The threat of warfare is the greatest danger our nation has ever known.
A creation right out of science fiction.
Scientific experiments on people.
When pieced together, these will give some of the answers,
And some of the information we will need to survive in a nuclear incident.
As the speech draws to a close, the silhouette steps into the light to reveal Mai Blackman in her street clothes with a pair of sunglasses over her eyes. She reaches up with one hand, pulling her shades off and the guitar riff picks up with the song truly beginning to get underway. The video wall comes to life with quick clips of Mai Blackman in her old youtube series focusing on her former career as a bounty hunter. Through home video and go-pro cams, we see her aggressively dealing with individuals; mostly focusing on her encounters with bounties who decided to get aggressive. Mai is seen subduing them with a particularly brutal martial art. This highlight reel is intercut with the name BLACKMAN being plastered across the video wall to resemble cold steel. Meanwhile, the entryway fills with smoke as the lights begin to flicker and the Janet Jacobs steps out in one of her finest evening gowns to a vicious assault of boos and jeers. Janet just shakes her head and smiles at the hate before turning to the curtain and extends her arms in front of her, presenting something or someone. As the lyrics to the song begin, Mai Blackman finally makes her physical appearance, dressed in her tights, sports top and boots with kick pads. A towel is hung over her neck and her black hair is tied back into a tight short ponytail. The look on her face is enough to kill.
Miranda Augustino: You see the look in those eyes? That’s that thousand yard stare you hear about in combat veterans, Andy!
Andrew Payne: Miranda...do *not*...make any World War II jokes while we’re here, alright? I know Blackman used to be a Marine but don’t.
Miranda Augustino: I wasn’t gonna! ….Though now that ya mentioned it---
Andrew Payne: Do! Not!
Like a moth to the flames, so bright
Severing in till my eyes go blind
So systematic, you take control
Am I the antic becoming your fall?
Another wave of boos erupts from the crowd as Mai looks up to take in her surroundings. A smug smirk, dripping with arrogance slips through her scowl as she starts to loosen up; bouncing on her toes, shaking her arms down at her side and throwing a few loose air punches at the ground.
I'm sending the signal
Releasing the symbol into your mind
Into your mind!
This is the answer
Cure for the cancer I've kept inside
I've kept inside!
Mai makes her way to the center of the stage where Janet stands, hands on her hips, standing confidently with that wicked yet alluring smirk on her lips. As Mai reaches her side, she turns to her client and says something, most likely a final review of strategy to which Mai nods confidently. She then brings attention to the ring where Mai’s opponent awaits and nods in that direction, continuing to talk. She points to Mai, clearly telling her she’s got this and to go do what she does best. Mai looks down the ramp with a predatory grin on her face like a hunter prepared to go for the kill. She nods back to Janet and sticks her fist out to which the manager bumps it back with her own, top, bottom, then knuckles. Mai finally steps onto the ramp and approaches the ring, motioning with her hands that she’s right there and ready. She yells “Let’s do this shit!” as she begins descending the ramp.
I'm coming back to LIFE!
And breaking through this TIME!
I'm taking back what's MINE!
Awakening in you
Janet accompanies Mai down the aisle, practically right on her heels. Mai Blackman moves with a sense of purpose down the ramp towards the ring; head tilted down, eyes on the ring with that murderous scowl on her face again. As she reaches ringside, she pauses to bounce side to side on her toes again before rounding the corner to the ring. She runs up onto the apron, turning to defiantly face the booing crowd as she opens out her arms with that arrogant smirk again. She loves the hate they’re throwing at her. It fuels her. It feeds her aggression and her sense of focus. Janet Jacobs moves up the steps and enters the ring under the middle rope while Mai turns and steps in over it on her side. Mai immediately goes into a rope run across the mat as Janet nods in approval at seeing her client fired up, focused, ready for battle.. Mai finally rolls forward on the mat and comes up onto one knee with her fists up in a fighter’s pose before hopping up to her feet and moving to her corner. Janet joins her and reveals a little case where she produces a black mouthguard that she administers to Mai. Janet and Mai exchange a high five before Janet takes Mai’s towel from her and sets it down in her corner. She puts her hands on the amped up woman’s shoulders from behind and leans up to her ear, whispering more as both of them watch Mai’s opponent. Mai nods and bares her guarded teeth in a vicious sneer as she throws a few low air punches and bounces on her feet, waiting for the bell.
Umi Toriyama: Beikoku Irinoi-shū Shikago kara. Kanojo no taijū wa 135-pondo de, Janet Jacobs ga ringu ni dōkō shimasu. MAAAIIIIII BLACKMAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!
~DING DING DING~
The bell rings, and the animosity between both women comes to a head almost immediately as Super Tiger rushes in, throwing a stiff series of slaps, elbows, and kicks into her larger opponent. Blackman keeps her guard up, waiting for an opening, before catching Tiger with an arm drag, but Super Tiger rolls through to her feet, and hits Mai square in the chest with a dropkick! Mai falls to her back, but quickly rolls back up to her feet, and the two begin to circle one another.
Andrew Payne: This one started off hot and it’s only gonna get hotter. These ladies do not like each other.
Miranda Augustino: Andy, I don’t think Blackman likes anybody. She’s got Fuck The World written all over her face.
Super Tiger runs at Mai, who swings for a punch, but the luchadora leapfrogs her opponent, hitting the ropes on the other side, coming back even faster than before, and leaps at Mai for a hurricanrana, but Mai catches her, and plants the little Asian with a wicked powerbomb! She drags Tiger to her feet, fistful of mask as Tiger swings wildly to back her opponent off, but Mai shakes her head, and tosses Tiger through the ropes onto the apron before hitting her with a stiff right, stunning the masked wrestler. Mai slips through the ropes to join her opponent on the apron but Tiger hits a desperation superkick which knocks Blackman to the floor! Super Tiger glances down at her opponent before climbing back into the ring and sprinting across, coming back off the rebound! SUICIDE DIVE! NO! Blackman gets her hands up, catching Tiger and using her momentum against her… FACE FIRST THROUGH THE FIRST LIGHT TUBE CABIN! Super Tiger is down! The crowd gasps. Super Tiger hasn’t moved but Mai isn’t stopping. She lifts the smaller opponent onto her shoulder and carries her around the ring toward the second cabin. Tiger comes to and realizes her predicament, her mask cut up, and her shoulders and arms already starting to bleed from where she tried to throw them up to protect her face. She squirms out of Blackman’s grip, stunning her opponent with a stiff forearm to the jaw.
Andrew Payne: You look at how cut up Super Tiger is just from one cabin and she’s still pushing through! You want a fighter?! There’s one for ya!
Miranda Augustino: C’mon, Tiger! Don’t let that bitch shit on your tradition!
Tiger slides back into the ring, Blackman in hot pursuit. Back and forth strikes now, Blackman trying to wear down the guard of Super Tiger while the smaller woman looks to drain her opponent’s stamina with her lightning fast offense. Tiger throw’s a kick aimed at Mai’s head, but Mai ducks, shooting in and taking Tiger to the mat. She immediately goes for the luchadora’s mask, trying to get her fingers up underneath it at as Super Tiger throws punches from below to try and fight off the stronger woman. There’s a tearing sound as Mai rips one of the ears off the mask, which she tosses aside, but a guttural scream comes from Super Tiger! She slaps Mai HARD across the face, stunning her opponent long enough to allow her to get loose! Mai gets up onto a knee but enzuigiri from Super Tiger! Mai is down again as Tiger goes to the top rope! FLIGHT OF THE TIGER! Tiger gets all of it! She pulls Blackman to her feet, and throws her into the corner, running in to capitalize on her momentum but Mai gets a boot up, catching Tiger flush on the jaw. Blackman to the top rope?! Super Tiger, full speed into the corner! Triangle jump up the turnbuckle! HURRICANRANA TO THE OUTSIDE! TIGER LANDS HARD BUT BLACKMAN’S THROUGH THE SECOND CABIN! Mai screams in agony as she goes through the light tube structure back first, the popping of the glass drawing a reaction from the crowd as Tiger rolls onto her hands and knees, breathing hard. Mai is already beginning to stir, the former Marine’s resiliency apparent as the camera zooms in to show the cuts and blood starting to trickle down her back. Tiger rolls back into the ring, looking to put some distance between herself and her opponent to catch her breath. Mai takes a moment, but she’s back in now too, and it almost looks like she’s stalking Super Tiger.
Miranda Augustino: Andy, I’ve never seen a deathmatch up close. This is sick!
Andrew Payne: Blood oozing from the back of Janet Jacobs’ client. Can’t tell if she’s got high pain tolerance or if it’s just the adrenaline pumping through her system but for a first timer, she’s on her feet pretty quick!
Miranda Augustino: Janet looks pretty proud despite the fact her client just ate shit.
Blackman gets up to Tiger, both women reaching exhaustion now. Tiger throws a series of forearms into Mai’s chest before running back and rebounding off the rope, but Mai meets her on the way back with a vicious lariat, turning the little luchadora inside out as she falls face first to the ring mat. Tiger struggling to get to her feet, but Blackman is already there! She pulls Super Tiger up to her feet. Side headlock now! She’s going for the mask again! There’s a loud tearing sound and a scream from Super Tiger as Mai holds the tattered, full faced mask up for the crowd and drops Super Tiger to the mat, who’s got her arms over her face as she rolls away. Blackman gloats to the crowd, yelling at them as she slowly turns a circle amidst the loud boos from the Japanese audience in attendance! She comes full circle only to look Super Tiger directly in the face! She’s got the bottom half of her face covered! She was wearing a mask under the full faced mask, knowing Blackman would go for it! The crowd cheers as the stunned Blackman eats a vicious string of attacks, the impact loud in the arena as the crowd goes NUTS for Super Tiger and her renewed energy!
Blackman pushes Tiger away, but Tiger’s right back in off a rope rebound! She nails Mai with a dropkick, sending Blackman out onto the apron but Mai has the wherewithal to grab the ropes. Tiger onto the apron now. LEAPING KNEE TO THE CHIN! TIGER IS STUNNED! Mai looks around, and notices Tiger is directly in the path of the last light tube cabin! Blackman roars, and charges in with a spear! Super Tiger takes a single step backward, off the apron! She’s turning in mid-air! HEADSCISSORS WHIP! Tiger’s head hits the outside with a thud, but she’s diverted the spear and Blackman SLAMS THROUGH THE THIRD LIGHT TUBE CABIN FACE FIRST AS THE BELL RINGS!!!!
~DING DING DING~
Umi Toriyama: Kore ga anata no shōshadesu!!! SUPAAAAAAAA TYGAAAAAAA!!!!!!
Andrew Payne: Wow. I’ve seen some deathmatches in my time but...fucking...WOW!!
Miranda Augustino: Aw, Andy. They’re not moving… Here come the doctors….
The referee and ringside doctors are outside immediately, checking on both women. They’re calling for medical help from the back. Neither Super Tiger nor Mai Blackman has moved since the bell rang. Arley Kirk comes hauling ass down the ramp to run to Tiger’s side while Janet Jacobs hovers over the other ring doctor tending her client. Super Tiger is motionless, face down on the ringside floor. Mai Blackman is sprawled on her back, unconscious; blood covering her face and neck, oozing across her shoulders as she just lays there. Both women are put up on gurneys and stretchered away from ringside. Nagoya’s audience is a mixture of concerned faces and sincere cheers from the audience, appreciating the physical sacrifice both women just put themselves through.
Andrew Payne: Ladies and gentlemen, we’re gonna keep you posted on the conditions of both competitors as the night goes on. That’s all the time we have for tonight. For Miranda Augustino, I’m Andrew Payne. Thank you for watching. We hope you were able to enjoy tonight to some extent. We’ll see you in Osaka-jo Hall, next week.
