- 60 min read
(Cold Open - we cut to inside the venue as the sold out crowd stares at the middle of the ring where Vernon Tressler is standing by.)
(A video package begins to air. First highlighted is the creation of SSW in January this year, showcasing action from Aria Jaxon, Jaydayne Pendragon, BANG, and Khmaoch Sangkat. The video then cuts to the creation of OWA, highlighting their first PPV Hardcore Havoc where World Champions CM Nas and Finnegan Wakefield stood tall. The video feed then cuts to SSW Supremacy, where Aria Jaxon and Khmaoch Sangkat claimed the Puroresu World Heavyweight Championship and SSW Heritage Championships for The Phantom Troupe. Finally the video cuts to the announcement of the SSW/OWA Partnership leading into… BUDOKAI TENKAICHI!!!!)
(The show starts up with a feed to show a view of The Osaka Dome with the sea of fans that has been surrounding the arena for the wrestling collision event of the year between Strong Style Wrestling and Omega Wrestling Alliance. The cameras fade back into the ring to where the logo of Budokai Tenkaichi has been placed into the center of the screen with the fans excited for the start of the event. Saya Takada, dressed in a crimson red dress, enters the ring with a microphone in hand to where the camera points over towards the titantron.)
Mark Stephens: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to night one of a historic two day event in the history of two companies on the rise in the professional wrestling business! This… is Budokai Tenkaichi! I am, as always, The Voice of Professional Wrestling Mark Stephens joined by Daniel Wilson at ringside in the Osaka Dome in Osaka, Japan! We are sold out in front of an estimated 50,000 fans of both Strong Style Wrestling and Omega Wrestling Alliance in attendance! We are going to see some fantastic matchups here tonight with some of the best professional wrestling talent from across the world!
(The camera pans to Saya Takada standing by at ringside with a hot crowd behind her.)
Saya Takada: The following contest is a TAG TEAM MATCH scheduled for ONE FALL...AND IT IS FOR THE SSW FREEBIRD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIPS!
(“Shoot All Over Them” -- contRoVersy hits to a giant pop, and the adulation spikes in volume momentarily as The Apparition and Belle Kingsley emerge on the stage. The Apparition hangs back for a second, standing at the top of the ramp and surveying the crowd while nodding to himself. Belle runs down the ramp at a brisk pace, high-fiving fans along the barricade. Eventually, The Apparition catches up with her and they enter the ring, their arms outstretched as fans throw streamers into the ring.)
Saya Takada: IIIIIIIIINTRODUCING FIRST! WEIGHING IN TONIGHT AT A COMBINED 325 POUNDS...THE TEAM OF THEEEEE APPARITION AND “THEEEEE BELLE OF THE BALL” BELLE KINGSLEY...THIS IS SHOOOOOOOOOOOOT NAAAAAAAAAAAATION!
Daniel Wilson: Let’s get things started with some TAG TEAM ACTION!! How many times are these Shoot Nation losers gonna get a free pass into championship matches? I mean, I enjoy watching them fail as much as the next person, but…
Mark Stephens: Oh, hush! The Apparition and Belle have every reason to be here. Belle especially, considering she was SO close to breaking up the pin in the match at Supremacy where The Corleones won the Freebird Tag titles in the first place. I can hope the One True Pair isn’t sleeping on their opponents tonight, because it could cost them!
(“The One True Theme” --contRoVersy hits, and the cheers of the crowd turn to boos on a dime. Cassius and Sakura Corleone, however, look unfazed by this as they walk out into view, pausing on the stage as the both open their signature robes to flash their Freebird Tag Team Championships. They then proceed to walk down the aisle hand-in-hand, a pep in their step as they don’t look to be paying any attention to the crowd.)
Saya Takada: AAAAAAAAAND THEIR OPPONENTS! WEIGHING IN AT A COMBINED 357 POUNDS...REPRESENTING TRES COMAS CLUB...THE TEAM OF CASSIUS CORLEONE AND SAKURA CORLEONE...THEEEEEEEE OOOOOOOOOOONE TRUUUUUUUUUUUE PAAAAAAAAAAAAIR!
Daniel Wilson: OTP! OTP! OTP! We couldn’t ask for better Tag Team Champions than these two, and as we’ve seen, nobody’s teamwork is quite on par with theirs! They’ve been on a hell of a roll since taking those titles over to TCC, and I’m predicting they extend their reign far past tonight!
Mark Stephens: Losing on your first defense is far from unheard of. There’s no real champions’ advantage here, and I hope Cash and Sakura are aware of that. They are in their element though, there’s no denying that. Tag team matches are their forte, and so in that regard, the advantage is with them. Can they parlay that into a successful defense? We’re about to find out!
(DING! DING! DING)
Mark Stephens: There’s our opening bell! Both teams are still taking these first couple seconds to talk strategy, and it looks like Belle is imploring The Apparition to step out onto the apron. She’s gonna start this thing off, and she’s motioning for Sakura to step into the ring! She’s calling Sakura out, and I can’t say I’m surprised by this at all! There’s a little bad blood between these two, and the Welsh export is DYING to get his hands on Cash’s better half! Sakura grins and shrugs her shoulders. Looks like she’s accepting! The two women rush right into each other’s grasp in the center of the ring, immediately becoming ensnared in a rough collar-and-elbow tie-up! They’re each throwing a ton of force into jockeying for power here, and it looks as if the slightly taller and heavier Sakura is getting the best of the Shoot Nation rep! Corleone keeps the tie-up on as she backs Kingsley into the nearest corner! The referee inserts himself into the fray and warns Corleone to back off, which she does...OH! A slap to the face of Belle for good measure as she backs away, and Belle is fuming! Cash is out on the apron doubled over laughing! LOOK OUT! Kingsley bursts forward from the corner and NAILS Sakura with a running front dropkick to the chest!
Daniel Wilson: DISGRACEFUL!
Mark Stephens: Hardly! Sakura lurches up to a seated position and Belle comes charging in with the running knee strike! NO! Sakura lays back flat on the canvas before sitting back up, slipping a hand around the thigh of Belle and going for the roll-up, but Kingsley rolls through! BAM! Clothesline to the seated Sakura! One-half of the champs is down, and Belle scrambles into the pin!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!
Daniel Wilson: Sakura pops that shoulder up, just like we all knew she would! And she also does the smart thing, getting the hell out of Dodge and scurrying toward her team’s corner to tag Cash in!
Referee: TAG!
Daniel Wilson: He doesn’t look the least bit pleased about what Kingsley did to his cherry blossom, and I’m sure he’s about to make her pay! Cash comes running in with a full head and is IMMEDIATELY grounded by a drop toehold from Belle! Corleone smacks face-first into the canvas! COME ON, MAN! He springs up to his feet just as Kingsley is leaping up for the hurricanrana pin attempt...NOPE! Cash uses Belle’s own momentum against her! SITOUT POWERBOMB COUNTER, SHEESH! A mat-shaking counter from Cash puts a halt to Belle’s offensive flurry, and Cash has got the rana pin locked in! Here comes the count!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE!
Mark Stephens: The guts of Belle Kingsley on full display there as she kicks out after a count of one! Cash shakes his head. He grabs a handful of blonde hair to yank Belle up to a vertical base, drawing the ire of The Apparition on the outside! He doubles the much-smaller Kingsley over with a harsh body blow before dragging her over toward her team’s corner!
Cassius Corleone (off-mic): IS THIS YOUR PARTNER, HUH? YOU TWO HAVE NO BUSINESS FACING US! I’LL ASK YOU AGAIN -- IS. THIS. YOUR. P--
Mark Stephens: OHHHHHH! BELLE HAD HEARD ENOUGH! SHE THROWS AN ELBOW BACK INTO THE GUT OF CASH, CAUSING HIM TO LET GO OF HER! SHE CUTS CASH’S LEGS OUT FROM UNDERNEATH HIM WITH A LEGSWEEP BEFORE BREAKING OUT THE STANDING MOONSAULT! HERE’S THE COVER!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEE! TWOOOOOOOOO!
Daniel Wilson: That little display from Kingsley wasn’t enough, because Corleone is still very much in the game! And it looks like she’s had enough for now, because she’s tagging in The Apparition!
Referee: TAG!
Mark Stephens: It’s tag team wrestling 101! Tagging in your fresh partner is ALWAYS a good idea! Cash is pulling himself up to his feet, but The Apparition isn’t giving him any room to breathe! He starts lighting Corleone up with a hellish succession of strikes! There’s a quick succession of one, two, THREE unanswered shoot kicks to the legs! Somehow, Corleone is still standing!
Daniel Wilson: What do you mean “somehow?” That man is a CHAMPION!
Mark Stephens: Let’s see how long you could keep going with an expert striker like The Apparition targeting your extremities! A palm strike right on the button causes Corleone’s head to snap back violently, and The Apparition finishes off the sequence with a spinning heel kick to the face! GOOD GRIEF! Corleone is down! The Apparition drops down and hooks the leg!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEEE! TWOOOOOOOOO!
Daniel Wilson: CASH STAYS ALIVE! Unfortunately for him, though, it looks like The Apparition still means business! Both men are getting up to their feet, and The Apparition is still quicker on the draw! He eyes Corleone, waiting for him to get steady on his feet, and he runs right in and drops him with a hellish lariat! Cash falls back onto the canvas on the nape of his neck and the back of his head, and that looked like a bad crash landing! The Apparition latches onto Cash’s arm and reels him into close quarters before firing off a couple of knee lifts right to the nose of Cash! He’s bleeding and Sakura is out on the apron pitching a fit, as she should be! Cash would fall down if he could, but The Apparition isn’t letting go! He turns Cash around and slaps on a rear waistlock...NO! HE’S TRAPPING THE ARMS OF CASH IN A STRAIGHTJACKET HOLD! NO! HE’S GOING FOR THE PHANTASM! IF HE NAILS THIS STRAIGHTJACKET GERMAN, IT’S OVER!
Mark Stephens: HOLD THE PHONE! PROBABLY OUT OF INSTINCT ALONE, CORLEONE THROWS HIS HEAD BACK, CRACKING SKULLS WITH THE APPARITION, WHO’S FORCED TO LET GO! THE APPARITION FALLS BACK INTO THE ROPES AND IS PROPELLED TOWARD CASH, WHO’S ALREADY PIVOTING ON HIS FOOT! JEEEEEEESUS! MONEYMAKER FROM CORLEONE! THE ROPES THREW THE APPARITION RIGHT INTO THAT DISCUS ELBOW TO THE THROAT FROM CASH! ALL THE WHILE, SAKURA HAS SLIPPED OFF THE APRON AND BELLE IS NONE THE WISER! SHE’S YELLING AT HER PARTNER TO GET UP WHILE SAKURA IS RUSHING AROUND TO HER SIDE OF THE RING! AS THE OFFICIAL IS DROPPING DOWN TO COUNT, SAKURA GRABS ONTO BELLE’S ANKLES AND YANKS HER OFF THE APRON BEFORE SHE CAN EVEN THINK OF AIDING HER PARTNER! THIS LOOKS BAD FOR SHOOT NATION! CASH IS ALL SMILES AS HE HOOKS THE LEG!
Referee: ONEEEEEEEEE! TWOOOOOOOOO! THREEEEEEEEE!
(DING! DING! DING)
(“The One True Theme” hits once more, to even louder boos this time. An elated Sakura slides into the ring and pulls Cash into a tight embrace before helping him up to his feet. The official retrieves their titles from a couple of the Young Lions before raising the hands of the victorious champions briefly before the Corleones snatch their hands away.)
Saya Takada: HEEEEEEEERE ARE YOUR WINNERS...AND STIIIIIIIIIIIILL THE SSW FREEBIRD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS...THEEEEEEE OOOOOOOOOONE TRUUUUUUUUUUE PAAAAAAAAAAAAIR!
Daniel Wilson: I never doubted these two for a second! There’s not a single team in this company who works together as seamlessly as they do, and they make it look so damn easy! There’s a wonderful first defense in the books for these two!
Mark Stephens: I must tip my hats to the Tres Comas Club representatives for a spirited effort here tonight, and Shoot Nation doesn’t have anything to be ashamed of either. Especially Belle Kingsley, who was holding the fort down for much of the contest! Now we’re left to wonder who will be The One True Pair’s ultimate undoing, but for now? The tag titles will remain with them.
(Cassius Corleone and Sakura Corleone celebrate their victory here tonight to where they exit from the ring to the outside, with the SSW Freebird Tag Team Championships on their shoulders, as they make their exit with Belle Kingsley looks out with disappointment on the outside to where she stands on her feet. She looks back towards The Apparition lying in the center of the ring as she shakes her head from disappointment as she makes her leave from the ring area without Apparition. Apparition rolls over towards the ring apron with the Young Lions at ringside helping him down and carrying him backstage with the ring vacated from the match participants to leave Saya Takada in the ring alone. The camera turns back towards the titantron to showcase the upcoming fight.)
Saya Takada: The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall!!!
(“By The Sword” by contRoVersy blasts from the speakers as Tarah Nova and April Song step through the curtain to roaring applause and cheers from the crowd. Tarah is wearing a red and black Harley Quinn inspired attire with matching shorts and her signature black studded leather jacket. The camera pans around her to show “Arukushi” written on the back as per usual before shifting to April Song who’s wearing a black and yellow one-piece attire with “Professional” and “Killer Bee” written in cursive on either side.)
Saya Takada: Introducing first, representing Ronin… “THE PROFESSIONAL” APRIL SONG AND “THE SHOCKCOLLAR OF HARDCORE WRESTLING” TARAH NOOOOOOOVAAAAAAA!!!
Mark Stephens: This match was made at just our last show after April Song and Tarah Nova were scheduled to face Kerry Keller and one of the two men who’ll be out here later tonight in Gronk. Things went awry when both women were savagely attacked by their opponents and the match had to be called. They were naturally both furious and, while they were able to fend off their attackers, Khmaoch made a point to come out and he had a few things to say about the two of them.
Daniel Wilson: That’s right, Mark, and while I may not speak Cambodian he made it incredibly clear what his intentions were. He wanted April Song and Tarah Nova to face him and a partner here at Budokai Tenkaichi and it only took a few moments before it was revealed that his partner would in fact be the Broad Street Bully himself, giving him an opportunity to redeem himself after being fought off.
(“Riot” by Yoshihisa Hirano hits and the audience jeer in disapproval as an angry Gronk and a focused Khmaoch Sângkât both now make their way to the ring. Gronk roars at the crowd, raising his arms and taunting as he passes everyone by. Meanwhile Khmaoch keeps his eyes on the ring, making eye contact with both Tarah and April.)
Saya Takada: And their opponents, representing the Phantom Troupe and weighing in at a combined 605lbs… “THE MAD TITAN” GRONK AND THE SSW HERITAGE CHAMPION, “THE PHANTOM MENACE” KHMAOCH SAAAAAANGKAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!
Mark Stephens: Well these two are certainly going to be an incredible force to be reckoned with. Fighting off Gronk once is one thing but fighting him off a second time, a time where he’s more prepared, more angry and has a partner like the one he does tonight really slims your chances.
Daniel Wilson: That being said, while Gronk isn’t the most friendly giant he’s not exactly the smartest either. Tarah Nova is the leader of Ronin for a reason and April Song still has that “new car smell” so it’s going to be tough to strategize against Ronin here tonight. Khmaoch, however, is a completely different story.
Mark Stephens: That’s right. The Heritage Champion is sick and twisted and calculating and putting him in the same ring with Gronk is a recipe for disaster for anyone who opposes them. It’s going to be very interesting to see how this match plays out with such volatile and unpredictable individuals.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Mark Stephens: The bell for this match has rung and we’re kicking it off with Phantom Troupe’s Mad Titan taking on the leader of Ronin in Tarah Nova. Tarah sizes up Gronk in a fighting stance but the behemoth lets out a monstrous roar as he lunges right for her! TARAH EVADES IT WITH EASE AND GRONK STUMBLES TO THE FLOOR! Gronk gets nailed in the temple with a stiff roundhouse kick! Gronk remains unfazed but he’s struck with a second kick to the side of the head… and a third… and a fourth! Nova can sense that the big man isn’t going to sit there and take her offense for long AND SHE GOES FLYING OFF THE ROPES WITH A SPIKE RANA! She’s back up to her feet BUT GRONK FORCES HIMSELF BACK UP WITH A LARIAT OUT OF NOWHERE! HE FOLDS TARAH NOVA INSIDE OUT AS THE BACK OF HER HEAD MAKES FIRST CONTACT WITH THE RING MAT! The Beast of Burden seems to be a little bit out of it, however, and he’s visibly trying to shake himself back to his senses… BUT TARAH NOVA RUSHES TOWARDS HIM LIKE A WOMAN POSSESSED WITH THE RUNNING T-SPIKE!! SHE USES ALL OF HER LEG STRENGTH TO LEAP UP HIGH AND CRACK GRONK RIGHT IN THE HEAD WITH THAT ENZUIGIRI! Nova has had a head full of steam since this match began and she’s continued to outsmart and catch Gronk off-guard.
Daniel Wilson: Gronk needs to get up to his feet quick but this harlequin isn’t going to waste any time and let this monstrous threat return to his vertical base so easily. She delivers a series of vicious shoot kicks to the chest before pulling back for a roundhouse… GRONK DUCKS OUT OF PURE INSTINCT-- BUT TARAH FOLLOWS UP WITH A KILLJOY BUZZER!! SHE JUST SLAPPED GRONK RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE AND THE SOUND IS ECHOING THROUGHOUT THE ARENA! For a woman at 5 feet and 2 inches, 118 pounds she has slaps that would make Zeus’ thunder jealous! Gronk doesn’t know what to do-- AND NOW HE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW WHERE HE IS AS TARAH NOVA NAILS HIM WITH A KNEE TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD! Gronk has officially collapsed to the floor and Tarah takes this opportunity to tag in April Song who immediately climbs to the top rope FOR A BEE STINGER! THE DOUBLE FOOT STOMP CONNECTS FROM UP HIGH! SONG WITH THE LATERAL PRESS FOR THE WIN!
Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!...
Mark Stephens: Gronk shoves April out of the pin attempt but you can see the frustration silently building up in Khmaoch who’s still waiting for his opportunity to make an impact in this match. He knows Gronk has made two very clear enemies in Tarah Nova and April Song and despite his reserved demeanor right now you can see in his eyes that he’s dying to get in there so he can begin biting chunks out of the opposition. Gronk lifts himself back up to his vertical base and right into a European uppercut by April Song! Gronk is stunned and he goes stumbling back into his corner, allowing Khmaoch Sângkât to finally make his way into this match! April is unaware as she runs off the ropes AND STRAIGHT INTO A KITCHEN SINK FROM A NOW UNHINGED KHMAOCH! Song clutches her gut in pain and Khmaoch takes the opportunity to rebound off the ropes himself AND HE NAILS APRIL WITH A DEVASTATING PENALTY KICK! HIS SHIN CONNECTS RIGHT ACROSS HER CHEST AND HE MAY HAVE CAUGHT HER NOSE WITH AN UNPROTECTED KNEE!
Daniel Wilson: The tides have turned incredibly quickly with the sudden tag to Phantom Troupe’s Night Terror and he doesn’t seem to have any intention of slowing things down! April is up to her knees and Khmaoch is shouting and taunting for her to hit him! APRIL GETS BACK TO HER FEET AND SHE LANDS A STIFF FOREARM SHOT! “MORE!” KHMAOCH SAYS! ANOTHER STIFF FOREARM SHOT! A THIRD! A FOURTH! A FIFTH! A SIXTH! KHMAOCH STANDS HIS GROUND AND DEMANDS MORE! APRIL HITS A SEVENTH AND AN EIGHTH AND A NINTH… AND KHMAOCH FINALLY LOSES HIS FOOTING-- OR NOT! HE SWINGS HIS UPPER BODY FORWARDS AND HE CRACKS APRIL SONG WITH A HEADBUTT! The Killer Bee may have just met her match AS S NGK T BEGINS LAYING INTO HER WITH DEBILITATING OPEN-PALM CHOPS!! HE CALLS THIS THE THOUSAND-ARMED BODDHISATTVA! APRIL IS HORIZONTAL BUT NOT FOR LONG AS THE PHANTOM MENACE LIFTS HER UP BY HER HAIR… AND HE TOSSES HER DIRECTLY INTO AN UNAWARE TARAH NOVA WHO’S SENT OFF THE APRON AND INTO THE BARRICADE BY AN UNINTENTIONAL SPEAR! Things aren’t looking good for April Song here. This certainly isn’t how she wanted tonight to play out.
Mark Stephens: The same could be said for Tarah Nova and Gronk too but Khmaoch seems to be on a level above them all tonight. Song is unstable but she finds her way back into the match-- AND STRAIGHT BACK OUT OF IT AS KHMAOCH SLAPS THE TASTE OUT OF HER MOUTH!! PLANTING THE KAPOK TREE!!! THE GOTCH STYLE PILEDRIVER!! KHMAOCH WITH THE PIN!
Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!...
Mark Stephens: TARAH NOVA GETS UP TO HER FEET FROM THE FLOOR AND SHE SLIDES INTO THE RING!
Referee: THREE!!!!!!!!!!!
Mark Stephens: SHE’S TOO LATE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
('Oculus Ex Inferni' by Symphony X hits to boos of anger and disappointment. Khmaoch makes direct eye contact with Tarah Nova before standing up to have his arm raised by the referee with Gronk.)
Daniel Wilson: WHAT A FANTASTIC SHOWING FROM THE PHANTOM MENACE! Our audience can boo as much as they like but that victory was clearly well-deserved and a perfect example of why Khmaoch Sângkât is one of the most terrifying men to step inside of the squared circle.
Mark Stephens: I have to agree with you there, Daniel. What a scary performance from Khmaoch right there. If for some reason people needed reminding just why exactly the Heritage Champion is such a danger to his opponents, that right there should be all the evidence that you need.
(Khmaoch Sângkât is delivered his SSW Heritage Championship from the referee, teasing towards Tarah Nova by pushing it before her face, as he lifts it high with Gronk standing beside him as they make their exit from the ring. Tarah consoles April Song as she pulls April onto her feet to walk her out of the ring, waving to the crowd as they walk through the backstage area to leave the ring vacated for Saya Takada once again. However, Saya starts to exit the ring to walk over towards the timekeeper’s area to where Olympus Ring Announcer Jamison Pierce walks up the steps and enters the ring to a great ovation from the crowd.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Lydia” by Highly Suspect hits as Nathan Quinn appears from the back, followed by Lydia Truth. Nathan holds his hands out with a cocky grin on his face as Lydia gives him a kiss on the cheek. The pair then saunter their way down the ramp and enter the ring. Lydia demands for the fans’ attention and points towards Nathan Quinn who is smirking once again. They boo loudly as a response to this.)
Jamison Pierce: The Following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL! And it is for...The OWA TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP! FIRST...Being escorted to the ring by LYDIA TRUTH...representing The Unchained...from Albany, New York….weighing in at 225 pounds….NAAAAAATHAAAAAAAAN QUUUUUIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINN!!!!!!!!!
Brandon Maxwell: Alrighty, here we are with the big representation of Olympus, and here we have Nathan Quinn of The Unchained preparing to challenge for The OWA Television Championship.
Donny Diamond: Man This match is gonna be something else. We got two of the best all around workers in the world performing on a massive stage here.
(“DNA” By Kendrick Lamar sounds off. The fans make their presence known with a horrible jeer. The curtain flies open, and out stomps Gareth Cason. He stops for a moment and stares daggers into the audience, before smiling a sinister sneer and shoving a black mouthguard in his mouth. He cracks his neck and resumes stomping to the ring.Gareth slides in underneath the bottom rope and glares at the Stage, awaiting his opponent’s arrival.)
Jamison Pierce: Introducing FIRST... From West Coventry in the Midlands, weighing in at 212 pounds…he is ”LEGIT DANGEROUS” GAAAAREEEEETH. CAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASON!!
Brandon Maxwell: And now here is the seemingly unstoppable Gareth Cason. This young man has been on one of the greatest hot streaks I have ever witnessed in this business.
Donny Diamond: And are you surprised? He took to the ring like a duck takes to water! This kid is gonna be on top of this industry in no time, no doubt about that. What he’s doing with the Television Title now is just proving it to everybody.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Brandon Maxwell: And the bell sounds as both men measure each other up and down. They go in for a collar and elbow tie up as Gareth quickly seizes control and gets Nathan in a waist lock. Cason lifts up Nathan into the air and takes him down face first. The Champ turning to lay in front of Quinn and is wrapping his arms around the head of the Challenger.
Donny Diamond: Gareth with some clubbing forearms to the back of Quinn as he lifts the Unchained member off of his feet in a front headlock. Cason walks Nathan over to the ropes and wraps his arms around the top rope. And just look at Gareth Cason now, he is laying those vicious knees into the midsection of his Challenger here!
Brandon Maxwell: Nathan Quinn with a quick headbutt that surprises Gareth! The Champ staggers back as Quinn charges at him and lands a Running European Uppercut, taking the champ off his feet! Gareth stands back up as Nathan irish whips him into the corner and runs at him for a big Stinger Splash!
Donny Diamond: BUT Gareth Cason side steps him and runs off the ropes! TOOTH FAIRY! THE RUNNING HIGH KNEE RIGHT TO THE JAW OF NATHAN! AND HERE IS OUR FIRST COVER!
Referee: OOOONNNNEEEE-
Brandon Maxwell: And a kickout right after One! Gareth lifts up Quinn and flings him out of the ring...but Nathan hangs on to the apron! I don’t believe Gareth has noticed him! Nathan Quinn runs over and climbs up to the top turnbuckle! OH MAN DIVING DDT ONTO THE UNSUSPECTING GARETH CASON! Nathan Quinn bounces off of the ropes and goes for a Running Knee Drop with some great elevation on it!
Donny Diamond: G-GARETH JUST SPRUNG UP AND CAUGHT NATHAN MID AIR! SPINNING DOUBLE LEG TAKEDOWN! AND NOW THE MOUNTED LEFTS AND RIGHTS! LOOK AT THE TELEVISION CHAMP GO! The Referee now trying to seperate Gareth from Nathan Quinn!
Brandon Maxwell: LOOK AT LYDIA TRUTH! SHE’S TAKING APART THE TURNBUCKLE PADDING WHILE THE REFEREE’S BACK IS TURNED! Well in any case, Gareth is forced off of Nathan, but gives him a hard chest stomp for good measure. And now the Television Champion picks up Quinn and shoots him off of the ropes! Gareth ducks down as Nathan bounces off the ropes and comes back again!
Donny Diamond: Now Gareth leapfrogs over him as Nathan bounces off of the ropes and tries to catch Gareth with a Springboard Crossbody...BUT Gareth rolls through with him in his grasp! Gareth drives his Right Knee up to the midsection of Nathan! And now the Left Knee! Cason lifts Quinn up onto his shoulders...DEATH VALLEY DRIVER! WHAT A BIG TIME SLAM!
Brandon Maxwell: But I don’t believe the OWA Television Champ is done quite yet as he sits in the corner waiting for Nathan to get back up. His Challenger gets up to a knee as Cason charges at him! RUNNING SINGLE LEG DROPKI-
Donny Diamond: Nathan Quinn sidesteps him and grabs The Champ from behind! WHEELBARROW FACEBUSTER! COVER! COULD WE SEE A NEW TV CHAMPION?!
Referee: OOOONNNEEEEE!...
TWWWWWWWWWWWOOOO-
Brandon Maxwell: Not QUITE a two count for The Unchained member as Lydia is seen outside trying to tell Nathan to abuse the exposed Turnbuckle! And now he sees exactly what she was pointing out to him! Nathan Quinn lifts up Gareth by his hair and runs him over to the exposed turnbuckle bashing his skull right into it! And now he’s doing it repeatedly!
Donny Diamond: HOLD UP! GARETH USES HIS ARMS TO BLOCK HIM! The Champ clubs Nathan in the stomach! Another one! And a third which forces Nathan to release his grip! SNAP HEADBUTT! LIGHT’S OUT! THE RIGHT HANDED HAYMAKER! NATHAN ROLLS TO THE OUTSIDE AS GARETH LOOKS OUT AT HIM!
Brandon Maxwell: Gareth looks like he has some evil intentions in mind...The audience is beginning to roar as he bounces off the ropes and sprint back for A BIG TIME SUICIDE DIVE ONTO NATHAN QUINN!
Gareth Cason (No Mic): You ain’t gettin away!
Donny Diamond: Gareth rolls Nathan back into the ring and looks out at the fans, running his hands through his hair as he does so. Cason turns around and gets up on the apron- b-but he CAN’T get into the ring!
Brandon Maxwell: LYDIA ONCE AGAIN WITH THE ASSIST FOR NATHAN! LYDIA IS HOLDING GARETH’S LEGS! AND NATHAN HITS A HUGE FOREARM SMASH ON THE CHAMP! THEN SUPLEXES HIM BACK INTO THE RING!
Donny Diamond: The Unchained Representative drags Gareth up to his feet...DOUBLE JEOPARDY! THE STO BACKBREAKER AND REVERSE STO COMBINATION LAND FLUSH! PINFALL ONCE AGAIN FROM NATHAN QUINN!
Referee: OOOOOONNNNNNNNEEEEEEEEE!!!!.....
TWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!.....
Brandon Maxwell: And STILL only a two count for the Challenger as Nathan looks to be getting a little frustrated. Quinn is staring up at the top turnbuckle now. This cannot be good. I-Is he thinking of using The Execution here?! That’ll give him the win for SURE! Nathan scaling up to the top turnbuck- GARETH ATTACKS HIM FROM BEHIND WITH A DROPKICK!
Donny Diamond: Brandon, Nathan Quinn is in a terrible position! GARETH SPRINGS OFF THE ROPES TO NATHAN WHO’S UP ON THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND STRIKES HIM WITH THE SPRINGBOARD ROUNDHOUSE KICK! THERE WILL BE BLOOD! DEFINITELY SO, LOOK AT NATHAN QUINN, HIS LIP IS BUSTED!
Brandon Maxwell! That’s right Donny, and now it’s looking like Gareth may be looking to ‘Pull The Plug’ on this matchup if you know what I mean?
Donny Diamond: Leave the jokes to me please…
Brandon Maxwell: Either way Gareth is stalking the dazed Nathan Quinn...PULL TH- NO!
Donny Diamond: NATHAN QUINN GOES FOR THE OUT OF NOWHERE WELL...FROM OUT OF NOWHERE!
Brandon Maxwell: BUT THE JUMPING CUTTER ATTEMPT IS JUST THAT! AN ATTEMPT! GARETH CASON EXPERTLY COUNTERED BY CATCHING NATHAN QUINN IN THE PRIME POSITION FOR THE DREAM KILLER! THE COBRA CLUTCH IS LOCKED IN...AND THERE GO THE LEG SCISSORS! THIS IS IT FOR SURE!
Donny Diamond: NATHAN QUINN TAPS! THAT’S IT!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Jamison Piercer: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! THE WINNER OF THIS MATCH VIA SUBMISSION...AND STIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLL THE OWA TELEVISION CHAMPION….GAAAARRRRREEEEETTTTTHHHHH CAAAAAAAAASSSSSSOOOOOOOOON!!!!!
(“DNA” by Kendrick Lamara plays once more as Gareth slides out of the ring and grabs his title, noticing David X Fierce, Rashad Wilson, and Jamal sprinting down to the ring followed by Natasha Night. Gareth grabs the OWA Television Championship and evades The Unchained members laughing at them hysterically from the ramp. Lydia, Jamal, Natasha, and Rashad all go over to aid Nathan as David stands facing the ramp in frustration, staring down Gareth Cason.)
Julianna DeMarco: The following contest is scheduled for one fall… and it is for the OWA WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
(“Freedom” by Beyonce & Kendrick Lamar plays from the speakers as purple and hot pink strobe lights blast on the stage. Aria Jaxon saunters out onto the stage with a huge smirk on her face, wearing purple and black short-shorts and bra top for her ring attire. She is also sporting a special Phantom Troupe jacket and on the back of it as an artsy stitched out picture of Aria Jaxon holding both the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship in one hand and the OWA Women’s Championship in the other. She removes her signature shades before unzipping the jacket to reveal the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Title around her waist. She unstraps it before throwing it over her shoulder and then makes her way down the aisle.)
Gia Cervantes: Hey Ash, guess what?
Ashley Walker: What?
Gia Cervantes: THE NEXT OWA WOMEN’S CHAMPION HAS JUST ARRIVED!! THE FIRST WOMAN TO WALK TO FACE OF PLANET EARTH TO HOLD ONE COMPANY’S WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP AND ANOTHER COMPANY’S FEMALE CHAMPIONSHIP! THE GODDAMN PINNACLE OF PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING AND MY SIS, ARIA JAAAAXXOOONN!!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!
Ashley Walker: Ugh.
Gia Cervantes: Ash, Aria Jaxon has a huge task ahead not only now but tomorrow night as she defends her championship against Drake Jaeger. Aria has pulled double duty and even triple duty before so she’s no stranger to going to extreme lengths in order to walk out as a victor. Tonight, right here in Osaka, Japan, this incredible woman is about to make some history and I AM HERE FOR IT!!
Ashley Walker: Aria Jaxon has the potential to walk out of Osaka as a double champion… but she also has the potential to walk out of Osaka with nothing at all. The pressure is on for The Phantom Goddess as she looks to dethrone the current champion of the Goddess division, Sweet Roxy! This is going to be an incredible match I feel!
Gia Cervantes: Spoiler alert: it won’t be. Aria Jaxon said it last week that she doesn’t believe Roxy is going to last ten minutes against her here tonight. Roxy is just too new and too inexperienced to try and hold her own in this upcoming championship match!
Ashley Walker: We shall see.
(“Bubblegum Bitch” by Marina and The Diamonds plays. Pyrotechnics shoot off from the stage as red smoke begins to full it until that is all we see. Sweet Roxy emerges from the smoke wearing a special red superhero cape with her championship strapped around her waist. She wears her usual coloured wrestling tights but has the kanji translation for “So sweet” written on them like so とても甘い. On the back of her cape it reads, “V for Vendetta”. Roxy smiles as she looks around at the sea of fans before eyeing Aria Jaxon in the ring and her expression instantly changes to anger. She makes her descent down the aisle.)
Ashley Walker: The woman who has taken OWA’s Goddess division by absolute storm, Sweet Roxy! A lot is riding on this individual here tonight as she looks to defend her family’s honour against a woman who has simply provoked it. Roxy has stated that Aria has begun a war that she will be unable to finish, and tonight, this war might see a conclusion. Aria’s misbehaviour was going to bite her in the butt eventually although I am sure my partner will disagree.
Gia Cervantes: Ashley I love you but let me explain to you why you’re an idiot. You still got a lot to learn sweetheart because Aria Jaxon has literally achieved things that most female wrestlers only DREAM of achieving. She’s achieved accolades against far tougher and much more fierce opponents such as the likes of Cameron Ella Ava, Tarah Nova, Cailin Dillon, the late great Brody Sparks. We can even now look into the men and name people like Jaydayne Pendragon and CM Nas! You look at those names… and then you look at Sweet Roxy? Ash, Roxy is fantastic, but she’s no Aria Jaxon!
(Both women stand in their respective corners as Roxy unstraps her championship, kisses it before handing it to Elle Halen.)
Julianna DeMarco: Introducing first… the challenger. From Los Angeles, California! SHE IS THE PHAAAANTOM GODDESS AND YOOOOOUR SSW PURORESU HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION… AAAAAARRIIIAAAAA JAAAAAAAAAXXXOOONNN!!!
(Aria Jaxon walks into the center of the ring and raises her SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Title in the air before spinning in a circle to gloat.)
Julianna DeMarco: And her opponent… from Las Vegas, Nevada! SHE IS THE MAAAAFIOSA AND YOOOOOUR OWA WOMEN’S CHAMPION… SWEEEEEEEEEEEETTTT ROOOOOOOOOXXXXYYYY!!!
(Sweet Roxy takes the belt back off of Elle and then raises it in the air as she goes face to face with Aria, who raises her title in the air. They begin to talk trash to one another as Elle Halen gets between them and they get back to their corners. She takes the title off of Roxy once more before raising it in the air. She hands it to the timekeeper.)
(We’re taken to the hard camera as it is zoomed out as back as it possibly can go. Elle calls for the bell…)
(DING! DING! DING!)
(The hard camera quick zooms in onto the ring as the crowd noise picks up.)
Gia Cervantes: Ladies and gentlemen we are underway with this OWA Women’s Championship match LIVE here from the Osaka Dome in Osaka, Japan! Jaxon vs. Roxy! Both women walk toward the center of the ring and go face to face again. They’re talking more trash to one another and I am loving every second of it! OH! ARIA JAXON WITH A SLAP RIGHT ACROSS THE FACE TO THE CHAMPION!!! YAAAAS QUEEEEEEEEENN!!
Ashley Walker: BUT THE CHAMPION RESPONDS WITH A HARD HITTING FOREARM RIGHT TO THE SIDE OF ARIA’S FACE! Aria stumbles back, holding that cheek before TACKLING ROXY TO THE GROUND AND THE FIGHT IS ON! Aria begins to deliver fists to the midsection of Sweet Roxy but the champion doesn’t want any of it! Roxy does her best to flip The Phantom Goddess over onto her back and begins to lay elbows to the head of Aria but Aria throws her arms up to protect her face! This has gotten physical early on, Gia!
Gia Cervantes: I could not be more happy either, Ash! Aria manages to throw Roxy off of her and both ladies get to their feet!! Aria runs forward for a clothesline but Roxy ducks under it and heads for the ropes! Aria turns and Roxy comes back for a SHOULDER TAKEDOWN!! HEY!! DON’T TAUNT ARIA JAXON YOU BITCH!
Ashley Walker: Roxy looks down at Aria with a grin on her face but Aria looks up in absolute DISGUST! Roxy runs for the ropes again. She rebounds off of them and Aria flips over onto her stomach - Roxy leaps over her and heads toward the other side! Aria springs to her feet as Roxy comes back looking for a clothesline of her own! Aria ducks! Aria is the one to head towards the ropes now as Roxy stops in the center of the ring! Roxy… DROPKICK!!!
Gia Cervantes: NO! Aria stays at the ropes and Roxy hits nothing but air before landing stomach first on the mat! Roxy gets to her knees quickly as Aria hangs by the ropes and shakes her head, laughing! She knows that despite getting hit a couple of times that she has the smarts to out wrestle the less experienced Sweet Roxy here tonight! Aria waltzes over to Roxy now who is still on her knees… before SHOVING HER FACE TO THE MAT! TERRIFIC!
Ashley Walker: But that just angered Roxy, Gia! Roxy jumps to her feet before beginning to deliver ENDLESS FOREARM STRIKES TO THE SIDE OF ARIA’S HEAD! Aria stumbles back into the ropes and Roxy isn’t letting up! Elle Halen is forced to get in between the two as Aria escapes the ring to the outside to prevent further punishment! Aria leans against the security barricade at ringside to regather her thoughts. Roxy is very upset at Elle for getting in between of the action! She didn’t even count for the rope break she just got involved!
Gia Cervantes: That’s because Elle knows that nobody should ever disrespect Aria Jaxon like that! Roxy shakes her head at Elle before reaching in between the top and second rope. What’s she gonna do here?! She waits for Aria to turn back to the ring before slingshotting through and… NOOO!! NO!! NO!! SWEET ROXY WITH A TORNADO DDT RIGHT ONTO THE FLOOR!!
Ashley Walker: ARIA JAXON LANDED RIGHT ON HER HEAD!! GOODNESS GRACIOUS! Roxy however landed right on her back and that definitely had to have taken the wind out of her! She takes a couple of moments before getting back to her feet. Roxy lifts Aria up before rolling her into the ring. The champion slides in before hooking the far leg for the first cover of this match!
Elle Halen: ONEEEEEEEEEE!! TWOOOOOOOOO!!
Ashley Walker: A kick out from The Phantom Goddess. Gia, Aria isn’t looking so good early on here!
Gia Cervantes: Shut up! The greatest wrestlers never bring their best out early on! You’ll soon learn that!
Ashley Walker: Mhmm. Aria begins to crawl over to the corner but Roxy doesn’t want to give her any breathing room here! Roxy stalks her opponent like the lion stalks the gazelle before lifting her up to her feet in the corner! Roxy begins to deliver shoulder tackles towards the sternum of Aria, before bringing her forward. She grabs Aria by the hair and throws her RIGHT BACK INTO THE CORNER! Aria drops onto the mat, sitting up against the corner as Roxy begins to back up. She’s got something in mind here! Roxy lets out a scream before running forward… RUNNING CROSSBODY!! THAT WAS A VERY HARD IMPACT! Roxy rolls back up to her feet before pulling Aria toward the center of the ring and dropping to her knees for another cover!
Elle Halen: ONEEEEEEEEE!! TWOOOOOOOOOOO!!
Gia Cervantes: No good as Aria kicks out again. Roxy takes a few moments before reaching down and lifting Aria up to her feet by her hair. Roxy turns around and sets up Aria in the russian leg sweep position! OH! ARIA WITH A BACK ELBOW! YES! ANOTHER ONE!!! YAAAAS! ANOTHER OOONNEEE!! Roxy lets go as Aria moves forward toward the center of the ring. Roxy runs towards the challenger… WRIST LOCK TAKEDOWN BY THE PHANTOM GODDESS!! ARIA DOESN’T RELEASE THE HOLD AND NOW HAS THE CHAMPION GROUNDED IN A WRIST LOCK! OHHH YES! THERE THEY ARE! THE KICKS TO THE FACE OF SWEET ROXY!
Ashley Walker: Roxy is doing her best to escape but Aria’s got her floored! Aria finally releases as Roxy begins to crawl over to the ropes. Look at the absolute anger in Aria’s eyes right now! Roxy uses the ropes to lift herself back up to a vertical base before turning back around. Aria runs forward with a HIGH KNEE TO THE FOREHEAD OF THE CHAMPION!
Gia Cervantes: AND ASH, DID YOU SEE HOW LITTLE TIME IT TOOK FOR THE QUEEN OF OMEGA WRESTLING ALLIANCE TO TAKE BACK CONTROL OF THIS MATCH?! IT WAS INSTANTANEOUS, SIS!
Ashley Walker: Yeah, yeah, okay Gia. That forehead strike to Roxy sent her to the outside and she’s reeling at the security barricade right now. She’s checking for blood but there isn’t anything there - just a noticeable red mark from the knee! Roxy turns back towards the ring now… but LOOK OUT! ARIA JAXON IS RUNNING TOWARDS THE ROPES! SUICIDE DIVE RIGHT THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE THAT SENDS ROXY CRASHING KIDNEY FIRST INTO THE BARRICADE! Roxy is still on her feet though as Aria looks up from the ground! She’s not finished! Aria rolls back into the ring and takes a quick glance back to see if her opponent is still in position! Aria is thinking the same thing again as she towards the ropes. She rebounds off of them aaaaand… ANOTHER ONE! THROUGH THE BOTTOM ROPE THIS TIME THAT SENDS ROXY BACK INTO THE BARRICADE ONCE MORE! Roxy drops to a knee but she is in serious agony right now!
Gia Cervantes: BUT THE PHANTOM GODDESS STILL IS NOT FINISHED WITH HER OPPONENT! Aria Jaxon slides back into the ring one more time and without hesitation runs the ropes once more! Here she comes Ash… OVER THE TOP ROPE THIS TIME!! SUICIDE SOMERSAULT SENTON RIGHT ON TOP OF THE OWA WOMEN’S CHAMPION! ARIA JAXON LANDS RIGHT ON HER FEET THIS TIME AND WHILE STANDING OVER THE CARCASS OF THE SOON TO BE FORMER CHAMPION, ARIA TAKES IT ALL IN! LOOK AT HER GLOAT, ASH!
Ashley Walker: The crowd are showing their disapproval towards Aria Jaxon but whether you love it or hate it, she has taken complete control over this match. Aria has rolled Roxy back into the ring and she climbs back in soon after. She flips Roxy over onto her back for a cover, hooking the leg…
Elle Halen: ONEEEEEEEEEE!! TWOOOOOOOOOO!! THRR--
Ashley Walker: No good. Roxy with a shoulder up, however it doesn’t seem to be phasing Aria too much. In fact, she’s laughing! I think she’s beginning to enjoy herself here.
Gia Cervantes: And why wouldn’t she?! It was only a matter of time before she took over this match and now it is only a matter of time before she scores that victory and becomes a double champion!
Ashley Walker: Roxy is having some trouble now as she’s on the canvas trying to find her bearings. Aria begins to softly kick at the head of the champion to torment her! Aria grabs Roxy by her hair and begins to DRAG HER ACROSS THE RING! ELLE COME ON! GET IN THERE!
Gia Cervantes: Aria Jaxon is blowing her off! Aria continues to drag Roxy and has reached the ropes. She pulls Roxy’s hair up before placing her foot onto her head! Ohhhh I know what she’s about to do… HOW CREATIVE! ARIA BEGINS TO CURB STOMP ROXY’S HEAD INTO THE BOTTOM ROPE. EVERY TIME ROXY’S HEAD REBOUNDS OFF OF THAT ROPE, ARIA’S FOOT SENDS IT BACK DOWN!
Elle Halen (off-mic): Come on Aria, that’s enough! 1 … 2 … 3 … 4 …
Ashley Walker: Aria releases before backing up as Elle takes the time to check on the champion! Sheesh that was a brutal sight to see! Roxy is becoming almost motionless. She’s been receiving some tough offensive onslaughts from her challenger. Could this be where that inexperience comes into play as both you and Aria described?
Gia Cervantes: Like I said, it’s only a matter of time! Aria lifts Roxy up to her feet before tackling her into the corner! Aria sits her up on the top rope before slowly climbing up to join her... OH! Roxy with a couple of forearms to the side of Aria’s head, but Aria responds with a VICIOUS elbow to the temple of the champion! This is completely one-sided now, Ash! What does The Phantom Goddess have in mind now? Aria uses Roxy’s shoulders as assistance as she ascends up to the top rope. She’s gotta be thinking a hurricanrana here! After taking a couple of moments to ready herself, she leaps up and sits on Roxy’s shoulders before bringing her down… OHHHH!! OH MY GOD!!! THE ULTRAVIOLET!!! THE ULTRAVIOLET!!! HURRICANRANA DRIVER OFF THE TOP ROPE THAT SPIKES ROXY!! ROXY IS DOWN AND OUT AS ARIA JAXON ROLLS ROXY ONTO HER BACK FOR A COVER!
Elle Halen: ONEEEEEEEEEEE!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOO!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEE--
Ashley Walker: ROXY GETS A SHOULDER UP JUST IN THE KNICK OF TIME! Boy, Gia! That was awfully close! I don’t know how Roxy found the wherewithal within herself to even come to after being spiked off the top rope like that!
Gia Cervantes: Well she basically just wrote her own death note because Aria Jaxon is now looking to end it all! Aria’s got herself set up in the corner as she stalks Roxy slowly getting back to her feet. She’s in a daze! Roxy reaches her feet before slowly turning around as Aria steps forward aaaaand… PUUUUURRRPPLLLEEE REEEEEIIGGGNN!! THE BICYCLE SUPERKICK FLOORS SWEET ROXY AS ARIA, WITH A HUGE SMIRK ON HER FACE AND DISAPPROVAL FROM THE FANS, DROPS TO HER KNEES AND COVERS…
Elle Halen: ONEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE--
Ashley Walker: Wait, WHAT?! Aria lifted Roxy’s shoulders off of the mat! Why would she do that?!
Gia Cervantes: Because she isn’t done embarrassing this joke of a champion! Aria lifts Roxy up before just SHOVING HER RIGHT BACK DOWN ONTO HER ASS! Aria stands dead center in the ring shaking her head towards Roxy who is beginning to slowly crawl backward towards the ropes. Look at this, Ash! This is just sad! She is begging and pleading and praying that Aria Jaxon doesn’t humiliate her any further! Roxy continues to crawl back and with every inch she backs away from Aria, Aria takes one step closer. Roxy reaches the ropes and she has her hands out trying to stop Aria! Aria shakes her head with that beautiful smirk on her face! It is time to face the reality you’ve put yourself in Roxy! Aria reaches forward and--
(The lights in the arena shut off.)
Gia Cervantes: What on earth?!
Ashley Walker: What… what just happened?! Who shut the lights off?!
Gia Cervantes: Come on! Do these Japs not know how to run a show properly?!
Ashley Walker: Are you able to see, Gia?
Gia Cervantes: It’s pretty much pitch black, Ash. I… hold up! I’m seeing I think three or four shadows in the ring moving around! OH!! SOMEBODY JUST WENT DOWN!!
Ashley Walker: Who was it?!
(We begin to hear a distorted, low-pitched sinister laugh. It slowly begins to build up as does the pitch. It speeds into a high pitched laugh before slowly falling to normal until we finally recognize that it’s a female who is laughing.)
???: No need to worry anymore, my dear… for mother & father have arrived.
(The lights in the arena come back on as we see, standing on both sides of the seated Sweet Roxy, are none other than Heart Break Gal and Robbie V staring daggers into the eyes of Aria Jaxon. The crowd are going absolutely WILD!)
Ashley Walker: OH MY GOSH!!!! NO WAY!!! YOU’VE GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!! IT’S… IT’S HEART BREAK GAL!!! IT’S ROBBIE V!!! THE PARENTS OF THE OWA WOMEN’S CHAMPION SWEET ROXY!!!!
Gia Cervantes: WHAT?! WHAT ARE THEY DOING HERE?! GET THEM THE HELL OUT!! OUT OUT OUT!!!
Ashley Walker: WAIT, LOOK GIA! ELLE HALEN IS DOWN! THE OFFICIAL WAS THE ONE THAT WAS TAKEN OUT!! THE EXPRESSIONS OUT OF ARIA AND ROXY HAVE COMPLETELY SHIFTED! ARIA IS NOW THE ONE WHO IS FEARFUL WHILE ROXY IS SITTING UP AGAINST THE BOTTOM ROPE WITH A GRIN ON HER FACE!! Aria slowly takes a step forward--- ...TRAAAAAAAAAMMPPPP STAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMPP!!!! THE JUMPING SUPERKICK FROM THE HEART BREAK GAL!!! OH MY GOODNESS!!!
Gia Cervantes: I CANNOT FUCKING BELIEVE THIS RIGHT NOW!! GET THEM OUT OF THE DAMN RING!!
Ashley Walker: Roxy begins to slowly crawl almost seductively towards Aria who is struggling right now. That Tramp Stamp has got Aria seeing stars! Roxy grabs Aria by the hair before SPITTING RIGHT IN HER FACE!! ROXY GETS TO HER FEET BEFORE SHE RUNS THE ROPES… FEEELLINNNAAA!!! THE CURB STOMP RIGHT INTO THE CANVAS!! ROXY DOESN’T REMOVE HER FOOT FROM THE BACK OF ARIA’S HEAD! SHE STANDS THERE FOR A MOMENT TO TAKE IT ALL IN WITH A HUGE GRIN ON HER FACE! Roxy finally takes a couple of steps back to join her mother and father as they stand over the downed Aria Jaxon!
Gia Cervantes: IS THIS MATCH EVEN STILL GOING?! Elle Halen hasn’t moved a muscle! GET THE HELL UP!
Ashley Walker: I… I really don’t know, Gia! This was completely unexpected though! I guess Roxy did say that Aria made this into a personal war and that she wasn’t going to come out the other side as the winner.
Gia Cervantes: Well by the looks of it, I don’t think EITHER goddess is coming out the other side as the winner. Is this thing a no contest?! Did Aria win via disqualification?!
Ashley Walker: Well you could argue right now that the family standing in the middle of the ring right now are the winners, regardless of the result! They… OH MY GOSH!!! WAIT!!!
Gia Cervantes: ROBBIE!!! OH PLEASE, ROBBIE, DON’T!!!
Ashley Walker: ROBBIE GRABS ARIA AND LIFTS HER UP TO HER FEET! ARIA IS BASICALLY MOTIONLESS AT THIS POINT! ROBBIE GRABS ARIA BY HER HEAD AND LOOKS HER DEAD IN THE EYES.
Robbie V (off-mic): VEN-DET-TA!!!
Ashley Walker: ROBBIE SPINS ARIA AROUND INTO A WRIST-LOCK!! OH MY GOSH, NOT THIS!! ROBBIE V NOOOO!!! … KIIIIIIIIINNGGGG’S LAAAAAAAAAAANNDDDIINNNGGG!!!! THE YAKUZA KICK SENDS ARIA JAXON RIGHT BACK DOWN!!
Gia Cervantes: I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT ASSHOLE JUST DID THAT! WHAT IN THE SHIT?! ROXY HAS LEFT THE RING NOW TO COLLECT HER CHAMPIONSHIP. ARE YOU REALLY JUST GOING TO WALK OUT OF HERE YOU STUPID CUN--
Ashley Walker: EASY!! NONE OF THAT LANGUAGE! Roxy rolls back into the ring and sits down cross legged over the laid out Aria Jaxon. HBG and Robbie V stand on either side of their daughter. Ladies and gentlemen whether you like it or not... The Vendetta Family has arrived!!
(The hard camera zooms out slowly on the three and after a few seconds, the lights in the arena shut back off and we fade to a commercial. The feed cuts back to the ring, where Saya Takada has returned to the ring with Julianna DeMarco returning back towards the timekeeper’s area. As she takes to the ring, the camera points over towards the titantron to showcase the next match.)
Saya Takada: The following tag team contest is set for one fall!!!
(“Carnage” by contRoVersy hits to thundering boos as CM Nas and Saul Omen walk out to the ring, basking in the hate of the crowd.)
Saya Takada: Introducing first, at a combined weight of 414 pounds… CM NAS AND SAUL OMEN!!!!... THE PHANTOM TROUPE!!!!
Stephens: Since day one - since day freaking one, The Phantom Troupe has made it their never ending mission to wreak havoc in SSW, attacking everyone from the bottom of the card to the very top, attacking the Chairmen, there just really is no other way to put it - these men want to watch this company burn. Brian Daniels, CM Nas’ first victim, made his triumphant return at SSW Supremacy, seeking revenge on Nas, but was overpowered by Saul Omen until Stark made the save. We already know what a formidable duo Nas and Saul are, but can Stark and Brian perform at the same level?
(“Blue Bird” by Ikimono Gakari hits to a mixed reaction of hesitant cheers and loud boos from the crowd as Stark walks out to the stage, sporting a white Shoot Nation jacket. Stark stops at the ramp and looks around as “Paint It, Black” by Ramin Djawadi hits to a standing ovation from the crowd as Brian Daniels walks out to the ramp to join Stark. The two bump fists before walking down to the ring as the crowd goes wild.)
Saya Takada: And their opponents, at a combined weight of 420 pounds… Representing Shoot Nation… BRIAN DANIELS AND STARK!!!!!
Wilson: Although this is their first time teaming up under the OWA/SSW banner, legend has it that Brian Daniels and Stark are actually war-buddies from ages past! Together, these two monsters were feared in whispers as titans that destroyed any wrestling company they walked into! Brian Daniels, the Master of Tricks, commonly known as the Puppet Master, and his weapon of mass destruction, the Juggernaut known as Stark, have destroyed countless of wrestling promotions over the past thousands of years - and if you ask me, I hope OWA IS NEXT!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephens: This highly anticipated tag team contest has started off, Stark stepping in for his team against CM Nas… WAIT! BRIAN DANIELS HAS THE CROWD ON THEIR FEET AS HE REACHES HIS HAND OVER… HE WANTS THE TAG! HE WANTS CM NAS! STARK TAGS HIM IN! DANIELS IS IN, MAKING HIS IN RING RETURN NEARLY A YEAR REMOVED FROM HIS RETIREMENT MATCH AGAINST ROBBIE V! DANIELS CHARGES RIGHT FOR CM NAS WHO MOVES TO MEET HIM HALFWAY IN THE RING -- DANIELS IS ALREADY IN THE AIR!!! VALAR MORGHULIS!!!! THE SINGLE LEGGED HIGH KNEE TO CM NAS’ MOUTH!!!!
Wilson: THE OMEGA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION HITS THE FLOOR BUT GETS RIGHT BACK UP -- DANIELS WITH THE KIP UP!!! HE’S ALREADY ON HIS FEET!!! ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO NAS’ CHEST!!!! AND ANOTHER ONE!!!! AND ANOTHER!!!!! BRIAN KEEPS GOING, HITTING FOUR, FIVE, SIX, NOW SEVEN… AND AN EIGHTH AIMED HIGHER AT THE FACE NOW SWINGS --- THIS TIME NAS CATCHES IT -- ONLY FOR BRIAN TO JUMP UP WITH THE OTHER LEG!!!! MULE KICK AND CM NAS IS SENT INTO THE ROPES AS BRIAN DROPS TO THE GROUND ON HIS KNEES -- OH!!!! NAS CAME BACK JUST A LITTLE BIT QUICKER AND MANAGED TO CONNECT A DROPKICK TO THE BACK OF BRIAN’S NECK!!!!
Stephens: BRIAN TRIES TO FORCE HIMSELF UP -- NO!!! NAS WITH THE SPINNING BACKFIST TO THE BACK OF BRIAN’S HEAD, PUTTING HIM BACK DOWN ON THE MAT!!!! Nas tends to his hand now, clearly having hurt it with that shot to Brian’s skull, but he reaches down for the former Chairman’s arm, pulling him up to his feet… BRIAN SNAPS TO AND NAILS NAS ACROSS THE FACE WITH AN OPEN HAND SLAP BUT NAS TAKES IT AND FIRES BACK WITH A DEVASTATING HEADBUTT!!!! BRIAN IS STUNNED AFTER THAT SHOT, STRUGGLING TO STAY ON HIS FEET BUT NAS SCOOPS HIM UP BY THE ARMS!!!!... TIGER BOMB!!!! NAS PLANTS BRIAN FLAT ON HIS SPINE!!!!
Wilson: Nas knows better than to even attempt a pin on Brian Daniels after just that one move, but when you think about it, it isn’t much of a stretch to say that CM Nas has surpassed Brian Daniels! It’s been a whole year since Daniels’ retirement, while Nas has been grinding day in and day out for that same amount of time, putting in nothing less than a hundred percent while picking up two World Championships along the way! Nas stands up, taking his sweet time talking trash as Brian struggles to push himself back up to his feet… NAS GRABS DANIELS AROUND THE NECK AND ARM, FLOATING OVER HIM AS HE YANKS HIM UP TO HIS FEET!!!! SITOUT JAWBREAKER --- NO!!!! DANIELS SLIPS OUT OF NAS’S GRASP AND CHARGES TO THE ROPES!!!!
Stephens: CM NAS TURNS AROUND AS DANIELS IS ALREADY JUST INCHES AWAY --- NAS GETS THE KNEE UP!!!! IT DOESN’T MATTER!!!! DANIELS IS ALREADY IN THE AIR AS HE GRABS NAS AROUND THE NECK BEFORE BRINGING HIM ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE MAT WITH THE SHIRANUI!!!! BRIAN DANIELS CONNECTS THE SKYWALKER AS HE ROLLS ALL THE WAY BACK UP TO HIS FEET, AWAITING CM NAS WHO STARTS TO DO THE SAME… DANIELS CHARGES!!!! AXE KICK --- NO!!!! NAS ROLLS OVER TO THE ROPES AND PULLS HIMSELF UP!!!! NAS SEES BRIAN OFF BALANCE AFTER MISSING THE AXE KICK AND TAKES ADVANTAGE CHARGING AFTER HIM… SUPER GOD FIST!!!! THE SUPERMAN PUNCH SENDS BRIAN DANIELS STUMBLING INTO THE ROPES, THE DRAGONBORN JUST BARELY PUSHING HIMSELF BACK TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING -- RIGHT WHERE NAS CAN CONNECT THE TWELVE GAUGE BLAST!!!! SHOTGUN STUNNER DROPS DANIELS TO THE MAT AND NAS FINALLY MAKES THE COVER!!!!
Referee: ONE!!!!!.... TWO!!!!!!!.....
Wilson: KICKOUT!!!! Nas may have had an answer for everything Brian Daniels has thrown his way this far, but the one thing Nas can never counter is Brian’s resiliency and will to stay alive! Nas gets up and stomps down on Daniels’ neck, holding him in place while continuing to taunt him, before picking him up… NAS PUSHES DANIELS OUT BY THE WRIST AND SWINGS WITH THE BACKFIST -- NO!!!! DANIELS DUCKS IT AND LEAPS BACK BUT NAS HOLDS ONTO THE WRIST AND PULLS BRIAN BACK INTO THE ROUNDHOUSE --- NO!!!!! DANIELS DUCKS IT AGAIN AND GOES FOR THE LEGS THIS TIME, PULLING NAS’ ARM DOWN IN BETWEEN HIS LEGS BEFORE PICKING HIM HIGH UP FOR THE GERMAN SUPLEX!!!!!
Stephens: DANIELS BRIDGES IT BUT USES THAT POSITION TO PICK CM NAS BACK UP TO HIS FEET… SPINNING ELBOW!!!! THE OHC IS DONE BUT COMES BACK WITH AN ELBOW OF HIS OWN -- NO!!!! BRIAN COMES IN FASTER WITH THE SPINNING FOREARM AND KNOCKS NAS FOR A LOOP AGAIN!!!! DANIELS NAILS A BACKFIST BEFORE RESORTING TO HIS BEST WEAPON, HIS FEET, FOR A BARRAGE OF KICKS TO CM NAS’ HEAD AND TORSO, FINALLY KNOCKING THE CHAMPION DOWN TO HIS BACK ON THE MAT BEFORE DROPPING FOR THE COVER!!!!!
Referee: ONE!!!!!.... TWO!!!!!!!.....
Wilson: CM NAS THROWS THE SHOULDER UP!!!! DANIELS WASTES NO TIME GETTING BACK TO HIS FEET PICKING CM NAS UP BY THE ARM -- NAS JUMPS UP OFF OF HIS KNEES AND GRABS BRIAN AROUND THE NECK -- SITOUT JAWBREAKER!!!! DANIELS IS STUNNED AND NAS SHOWS OFF SOME GODLIKE RESILIENCY WITH A KIP UP BEFORE GOING FOR THE ROUNDHOUSE --- BRIAN TAKES IT TO THE ARM!!!! BRIAN FALLS BACK INTO THE ROPES AND CM NAS COMES AFTER HIM WITH THE SUPER GOD FIST AGAIN --- BRIAN PULLS DOWN THE ROPES BEFORE LETTING THEM SNAP BACK AT CM NAS WHO BOUNCES OFF OF THEM BEFORE FALLING TO THE MAT!!!!
Stephens: DANIELS SEES HIS OPPORTUNITY AND SWINGS HIS LEG LIKE HE’S GOING FOR THE GAME WINNING GOAL IN THE FINALS OF THE WORLD CUP WITH A DEVASTATING SOCCER KICK AIMED AT CM NAS --- NO!!!! NAS ROLLS BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND FALLS INTO HIS CORNER WHERE HE FINDS SAUL OMEN FOR THE TAG!!!! SAUL OMEN JUMPS UP TO THE TOP ROPE WHILE DANIELS STAGGERS INTO THE CENTER OF THE RING -- SAUL FLIES!!!! SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT TAKING DANIELS DOWN!!!!! DANIELS STILL PUSHES HIMSELF UP DESPITE SAUL ALREADY BEING HALFWAY ACROSS THE RING… JUMPING KNEE LIFT!!!! DANIELS TAKES A KNEE TO THE CHIN BEFORE FALLING TO HIS KNEES!!!!
Wilson: SAUL SWINGS HIMSELF NOW --- PENALTY KICK!!!! RIGHT TO DANIELS’ CHEST!!!!! DANIELS ALMOST FALLS BACK BUT COMES BACK TO HIS KNEES ONLY FOR SAUL TO CONNECT A QUICK THRUST KICK TO THE FACE KNOCKING DANIELS BACK DOWN TO THE MAT!!!! SAUL FINDS HIS WAY TO THE CORNER NOW AND CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP ROPE… AND HE FLIES!!!! CORKSCREW SHOOTING STAR PRESS!!!! THE SANGUINE STAR!!!!! BUT DANIELS GETS THE KNEES UP!!!!! DANIELS GETS THE KNEES UP!!!!! SAUL OMEN TAKES A DEVASTATING IMPACT AGAINST THE KNEES AND DANIELS KIPS UP TO HIS FEET, ROARING AS THE ENTIRE ARENA RISES TO THEIR FEET FOR A STANDING OVATION!!!!

Stephens: SAUL OMEN FALLS BACK INTO THE ROPES HIMSELF NOW, WAITING FOR BRIAN TO GET UP JUST A LITTLE BIT… HE HAS THE OPENING HE NEEDS!!!! SAUL GOES FOR THE REVERSE ROUNDHOUSE KICK!!!! MEMENTO MORI -- NO!!!! DANIELS LUNGES OUT OF THE WAY WITH HIS LAST BIT OF STRENGTH TOWARDS HIS CORNER!!!! SAUL STRUGGLES TO CATCH HIS BALANCE OFF OF THAT MEMENTO MORI AND DANIELS IS ABLE TO CRAWL FURTHER INCH BY INCH… HE’S FOUND STARK!!!! THE TAG IS MADE!!!!! THE PSYCHEDELIC SAMURAI HOPS OVER THE TOP ROPE, LOCKING DOWN SAUL OMEN WHO JUST FOUND HIS WAY TO STABLE FEET… STARK WITH THE KNEE LIFT!!!! OMEN GETS KNOCKED SILLY BUT STARK JUMPS OFF OF THE SECOND ROPE, CATCHING SAUL AROUND THE NECK!!!!... TORNADO DDT!!!! VINTAGE STARK CONNECTING THAT STARKNADO!!!!
Wilson: Stark gets up now, taking in the cheers from the crowd, finding his redemption here tonight as he awaits Saul Omen to get back up to his feet… TEEP KICK!!!! STARK SENDS SAUL INTO THE ROPES WITH FORCE AND GOES FOR THE SLINGBLADE --- NO!!!! SAUL CATCHES STARK AROUND THE WAIST --- STARK FIRES BACK WITH ELBOWS UNTIL SAUL BREAKS HIS GRASP, THEN FIRES ONE MORE ELBOW BEFORE BACKFLIPPING WITH THE PELE KICK!!!! SAUL IS STUNNED BUT MANAGES TO STAY ON HIS FEET AS STARK TAKES OFF FOR THE ROPES… RASENGAN!!!!!! STARK DRIVES HIS FIST INTO OMEN’S NOSE WITH THAT SUPERMAN PUNCH AND FINALLY KNOCKS THE HORSEMAN OF DEATH TO THE MAT!!!!

Wilson: Stark makes the first move to get up to his feet --- BUT LIKE A BLACK WIDOW, SAUL OMEN SCURRIES TO HIS FEET AND GRABS STARK’S RIGHT ARM, TWISTING IT BEFORE ROLLING OVER HIS BACK TO APPLY THE FUJIWARA ARMBAR!!!!! STARK WISELY QUICKLY KICKS SAUL OMEN AWAY TO BREAK THE HOLD AND PUSH HIMSELF BACK UP TO HIS FEET --- SAUL OMEN CHARGES AT STARK NONETHELESS -- ONLY FOR STARK TO JUMP UP AND TAKE HIM DOWN WITH THE SLINGBLADE!!!! THE PHANTOM TROUPE IS TRULY NO JOKE TO BE TAKING THE LIKES OF STARK AND BRIAN DANIELS TO THEIR LIMITS HERE!!!! Stark sits up now, looking over to his corner as he attempts to crawl over… BUT DANIELS STARTS FRANTICALLY YELLING!!!! STARK LOOKS OVER AND FINDS SAUL OMEN AT THE TOP TURNBUCKLES!!!!!

Wilson: OHHHHHH THIS IS TOO GOOD!!!!!!!! WHAT THE HELL DID YOU EXPECT FROM BRIAN DANIELS TRUSTING HIM?! THEY CALL HIM THE JUGGERNAUT FOR GOOD REASON!!!!

(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Carnage” hits to nuclear heat from the crowd as Nas stands tall over Brian Daniels, picking Saul Omen up to his feet and raising his hand.)
Takada: HERE ARE YOUR WINNERS BY WAY OF PINFALL… CM NAS!!!! SAUL OMEN!!!! THE PHANTOM TROUPE!!!!!
Stephens: WHY? WHY? WHY? THAT’S ALL I CAN SAY! THEY HAD IT WON! THEY HAD IT FUCKING WON! THAT CAUSTIC ECHO WAS MORE THAN ENOUGH, ESPECIALLY AFTER THAT RASEN SHURIKEN! STARK COULD HAVE SECURED A MAJOR VICTORY FOR SHOOT NATION AND SSW AS A WHOLE AGAINST THE PHANTOM TROUPE - THAT’S THE FRUSTRATING PART HERE, HE HAD IT WON, YET HE THREW IT AWAY FOR WHAT? FOR A MOMENT? TO MAKE A POINT? BRIAN WAS HIS FRIEND, HIS TRAINER, A MAN WHO SHOWED HIM THE DOOR INTO EAW, I SIMPLY CANNOT UNDERSTAND AFTER ALL THESE YEARS, WHY STARK WOULD DO THIS?!
Wilson: HE’S PLAYING 4D CHESS MARK STEPHENS, THAT’S WHY! HE DOESN’T EVEN KNOW WHAT HE’S GOING TO DO ON ANY GIVEN NIGHT, SO HOW WOULD WE? FIRST SENN, NOW BRIAN, DAMN, STARK MIGHT BE BETTER AT KILLING CHAIRMEN THAN THE PHANTOM TROUPE IS! Still, you have to hand it to Saul Omen and CM Nas, they also took a little too long with their taunting and showboating, but they got the job done either way, reclaiming the match from the jaws of defeat. Congratulations to The Phantom Troupe!
(The camera pans to CM Nas and Saul Omen walking up the ramp, staring confusedly at Stark who sits on the barricade at ringside while the nearby crowd throws trash at him. Medical staff enter the ring to check on Brian Daniels.)
Stephens: Well, as the former Chairman gets medical attention, it might be a good time to recap the night so far before our main event --- OH GOD NO!!!! STARK JUST SLID BACK INTO THE RING!!!! RASEN SHURIKEN TO ONE OF THE MEDICAL STAFF!!!! THE OTHER TWO SLIDE OUT OF THE RING, LEAVING STARK ALL ALONE WITH BRIAN DANIELS!!!! THAT SICK SMILE ON HIS FACE IS ABSOLUTELY APPALLING!!!! DANIELS IS STRUGGLING TO PICK HIMSELF UP TO HIS KNEES -- STARK TAKES TO THE ROPES!!!! RASEN SHURIKEN!!!!! STARK DRIVES THROUGH BRIAN WITH THAT KNEE AND TURNS HIM INSIDE OUT!!!! STARK PICKS BRIAN BACK UP TO HIS KNEES AND HEADS TO THE ROPES BEHIND HIM, HITTING ONE MORE RASEN SHURIKEN TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD NOW!!!!
Wilson: I CAN’T EVEN HEAR WHAT YOU’RE SAYING WITH HOW LOUD THIS CROWD IS BOOING STARK RIGHT NOW… BUT IT SEEMS LIKE DANIELS IS COMPLETELY AT STARK’S MERCY HERE, WHICH HE SEEMS TO HAVE NONE OF!
Stephens: DANIELS IS UNCONSCIOUS!!! PLAIN AND SIMPLE!!!! STARK IS MUTILATING A HALF DEAD MAN!!! AND HE ISN’T DONE, PICKING BRIAN UP ONE MORE TIME!!!!....
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYCGTgQZkZU. “S.O.A.R.” by Devour The Day hits to a standing ovation from the crowd as Jacob Senn walks out from behind the curtain and takes the stage in a black hoodie, looking down. Senn flips the hood up before ripping the hoodie off, revealing a ‘Punisher’ shirt before running down to the ring.)
Stephens: YES! YES! YES! IT’S THE CHAIRMAN!!!! JACOB SENN!!!!! STARK DOESN’T WASTE A SINGLE SECOND ROLLING OUT OF THAT RING AND JUMPING OVER THE BARRICADE INTO THE CROWD!!!! Senn enters the ring, checking on Brian Daniels as he calls for extra medical attention! Stark is already halfway out of the arena now, standing by the exit as he looks down the arena at Jacob Senn, who just picked a microphone up from ringside…
Jacob Senn: I don’t know what the HELL you think you’ve been doing here, but I knew for a fact sitting at home after what you did to me that you would be the furthest thing from a reliable partner tonight. I even called Brian Daniels to tell him how I felt, but he was kind and gave you the benefit of the doubt for what - just to do this? NOW YOU LISTEN HERE BOY, THIS IS GOING TO COME TO AN END VERY SOON! THE MAN YOU GOADED INTO A MATCH AT SUPREMACY, THE MAN WHOSE SHOW YOU THREATENED TO GET UNDER HIS SKIN, THE MAN THAT YOU WERE JUST BARELY ABLE TO BEAT - THAT WAS THE CHAIRMAN YOU WERE DEALING WITH!
(Jacob Senn looks down to his shirt, then back to Stark who shows a look of concern on his face for the first time all night.)
Jacob Senn: Come SSW Domination, Stark… It’s going to be me against you one more time… IN THREE STAGES OF HELL!!!!! AND DON’T YOU DARE GO OFF THINKING YOU’RE GOING TO BE FACING THE CHAIRMAN AGAIN… BECAUSE AT DOMINATION… YOU’RE GETTING THE PUNISHER!!!!!
(Senn drops the microphone to a huge pop from the crowd as he goes back down to check on Brian Daniels, as Stark exits the arena.)
Stephens: WHAT A HUGE ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE RETURNING CHAIRMAN OF SSW, JACOB SENN!!!! BUT MOVING ON, BUDOKAI TENKAICHI DAY ONE IS HEADING INTO IT’S FINAL MATCH OF THE NIGHT - OWA WORLD CHAMPION FINNEGAN WAKEFIELD TAKES ON THE PHANTOM TROUPE’S MAELSTROM WITH THE BIG BELT ON THE LINE - NEXT!
(The camera pans to an advertisement for Budokai Tenkaichi Day 2.)
(The camera returns back inside of The Osaka Dome pointed towards the titantron for the final match of the night to be put on display.)
(The Osaka crowd comes to a hush as the lights go low and a church bell breaks the silence. After the bell strikes twelve times, “Awake” by Dethklok hits as a dark fog fills the floors of the Kyocera Dome Osaka as a robed Maelstrom emerges, slowly walking down the ramp towards the ring.)
Lance Hart: You can feel it in the air, can’t you Morgan? The cold, chilling atmosphere that follows the man known as Maelstrom. Made a big impression when he accepted Wakefield's challenge by laying him out, now going to try and make an even bigger impression by defeating him for the OWA World Championship.
Morgan Shaw: I have to admit, this guy cuts quite an intimidating and imposing figure. He might not care too much about the championship belt itself, but imagine the impression you leave if you beat a world champion in your very first match in SSW? It can only raise the stock for the Phantom Troupe, and tighten their stranglehold on the wrestling world.
(Maelstrom enters the ring with absolutely no fanfare, he stands in his corner awaiting the champion as “Awake” dies down. "Evolution: Entering The New World (SSW Mix)" by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas hits the P.A. system as strobe lights fill the venue. Finnegan emerges from behind the curtain, wearing red and white, along with a matching wrestling coat that falls just behind his knees. The OWA Championship proudly worn around his waist as he walks with confidence down to the ring.)
Lance Hart: Well Finnegan stated that for the night he is an honorary Shoot Nation member, and it looks like he has embraced a new look to go with it with not only the Shoot Nation Red and White, but even ditching the bomber jacket for the more Japanese inspired wrestling coat.
Morgan Shaw: More importantly than that, Lance. Finnegan is not looking all that deterred from his challenger despite the fact he quite easily laid him out last week when accepting this challenge. That just tells you the pride he has in being the OWA World Champion -- his confidence to ensure that he will bring it back to American soil still the champion.
(Finnegan climbs to the second turnbuckle, eyeing down the still cloaked Maelstrom as he removes the title from his waist and raises it into the air. He dismounts to the canvas, standing in the opposing corner as Saya Takada stands in the center of the ring with the house lights dimmed and a spotlight down on the ring. Saya speaks into the microphone.)
Saya Takada: <At this time, we welcome OWA President Bob Taylor for the championship ceremony.>
(Bob Taylor steps into the ring, removing his cowboy hat before standing beside Saya Takada as he pulls a binder out from beneath his arm, opening it and reading the document inside as Saya holds the microphone up for his voice to be picked up.)
Bob Taylor: I, OWA President Bob Taylor, on behalf of the OWA Championship comity, officially decree that this match is recognised as a sanctioned OWA World Championship match between challenger Maelstrom and champion Finnegan Wakefield.
(The Osaka crowd applauds as Bob Taylor walks up to Finnegan, who hands him the OWA World Championship. Bob then approaches Maelstrom, who doesn’t even acknowledge Taylor or the title before Taylor stands in the middle of the ring, raising the championship into the air and turns for all to see. He takes the championship out of the ring as Saya makes the official introductions.)
Saya Takada: <The following contest is scheduled for one fall… and is for the Omega Wrestling Alliance World Championship!>
(The Osaka crowd applaud.)
Saya Takada: <Introducing first, the challenger standing in the blue corner! He is a member of the Phantom Troupe, weighing in tonight at two hundred and forty pounds…..MAELSTROOOOOOM!!!>
(Maelstrom removes the cloak that covered his face, revealing a half skull mask that covers his mouth and nose. He removes it, not breaking eye contact from his opponent as he tosses his cloak and mask aside for the SSW Young Lions to deal with.)
Saya Takada: <And his opponent, standing in the red corner! He weighs in tonight at one hundred and eighty-one pounds! He is the Omega Wrestling Alliance World Champion! FIIINEGAAAAN WAAAAKEFIEEELD!!!>
(Finnegan raises his finger to the sky as he steps out from the corner before removing his coat and handing to the Young Lions. The official asks both men if they are ready and, at their confirmation, he calls for the bell.)
(DING!)
(As soon as the bell rings the Osaka crowd breaks into chants of “ :clap: FINN-E-GAN! :clap: FINN-E-GAN! :clap: FINN-E-GAN! :clap: )
Morgan Shaw: The crowd don’t seem to be playing favorites to their nationality in this one.
Lance Hart: Well, the Phantom Troupe are not exactly a popular bunch. That may play into it, but Finnegan also doesn’t feel this match is about East vs. West, this is a match to truly establish the OWA Championship as a World recognized title. Perhaps that pride and determination is winning over the fans. Though the favoritism doesn’t seem to bother Maelstrom any.
Morgan Shaw: Both men circling the ring, scouting each other out, not breaking eye contact. Getting in closer to the center as they brace themselves, looking for a lock-up… Finnegan fires off a kick to the side of Maelstroms leg. Doesn’t do any real damage but causes Maelstrom to back up as they continue to scout each other. Going for the lock up again, but Finnegan with another swift kick to the leg, followed by another into the inner thigh. The champion looking very tentative to lock up with the challenger.
Lance Hart: He’s giving up sixty pounds to the challenger, making use of the speed advantage, making use of those long legs to keep Maelstrom at a distance. Doesn’t keep him at bay for long, however, as Maelstrom forces Finnegan into the tie-up and there is the power advantage, pushing Finnegan into the corner with seemingly no trouble whatsoever.
Morgan Shaw: Finnegan turns it around on Maelstrom, forces his back into the corner and yet again lays into his leg with a series of kicks to the leg of Maelstrom, backing to the center of the ring before Maelstrom could hit him with that wide swing of his arm.
Lance Hart: Playing this match like a game of chess; Finnegan is either trying to provoke the challenger with swift and decisive kicks or is biding his time before he leaves an opening, if not making one himself. He’s being very cautious of the challenger, and rightfully so, he laid him out with ease a week ago and is trying at all costs to avoid another Ascend to Madness.
Morgan Shaw: Maelstrom forcing the lock up again, once again pushing Finnegan into the ropes with ease. This time isn’t letting Finnegan take shots at his legs as he fires forearms shots towards the head of Finnegan, having the champion guard his head before slipping behind and making some distance between himself and the growing agitated Maelstrom.
Lance Hart: Back into the center now, Maelstrom trying to corner the champion, every attempt being thwarted by kicks to the thigh, one to the inner thigh that causes it to buckle for the moment, but Maelstrom keeps his composure. Maelstrom being forced to fight at Finnegan's pace at the moment, attempting to catch the champion with something, anything to put him at his mercy. Maelstrom forces himself into Finnegan’s guard, driving his knee into the stomach of the champion before clubbing his forearm into his lower back.
Morgan Shaw: But Finnegan is doing his best to keep sticking and moving, firing away more viciously into the right knee of Maelstrom with a series of kicks, pushing the challenger into the corner. Maelstrom raising his knee out to catch one of these kicks but Finnegan switches it up with a forearm strike to the jaw! Finn backs up to the center of the ring, goating Maelstrom to ‘bring it on’, looking fired up as he has the early upper hand over the challenger.
Lance Hart: Finnegan has been playing the early minutes of this match smart, and it only seems to be annoying Maelstrom. Back to the center of the ring now, Maelstrom looking furious with the champions early game plan, walking into another kick to the leg… but Maelstrom immediately fires back with a HUGE forearm strike to the champion's jaw, sending him reeling into the ropes.
Morgan Shaw: Maelstrom with evil intentions now that he has stunned the champion, tying Finnegan's arms between the top and middle ropes, leaving him completely vulnerable as he repeatedly drives his fist into his forehead with a series of punches. The referee having to step in.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI--!
Morgan Shaw: Maelstrom distances himself from the tied-up champion before the count of five, pacing the center as the referee attempts to untie him. Having difficulty freeing Finnegan, Maelstrom steps in. Referee telling him to back away but Maelstrom pushes the referee aside, forcefully freeing Finnegan himself and shoving him into the corner, laying into him with a series of punches and knee strikes to the midsection as the referee, once again, has to give Maelstrom a five count.
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FI--!
Lance Hart: The champion is dazed and is slumped into the corner, Maelstrom choking him with the sole of his boot forcing his weight onto his throat!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIV-!
Lance Hart: Referee having to admonish Maelstrom a third time, he is running the risk of getting disqualified, but has for the time being clipped the wings of the champion. He pulls Wakefield up to his feet, Irish whips him into the opposite corner AND FOLLOWS THROUGH WITH A RUNNING BIG BOOT TO THE SIDE OF HIS FACE!
Morgan Shaw: That looked like it caught the eye of the champion as you can see him wincing in pain as he slumps into the corner, might have done damage to the orbital bone of Finnegan as Maelstrom admires his devastating handiwork. He pulls Finnegan to his feet, snapmareing him down into the seated position, off the ropes! And another huge running boot to the face of Wakefield!
Lance Hart: Champion not looking good right now as he tries to kick at Maelstroms leg while trying to make distance again, but Maelstrom has the upper hand and is laying sharp kicks into the back and ribs of Finnegan as he finds his way to the bottom rope. Very little he could do to defend himself from that onslaught, currently at the mercy of his destructive challenger as he forces Finnegan to the outside with a shove of his boot!
Morgan Shaw: Referee is going to have to get control of this, as Maelstrom follows him outside. He grabs Finnegan by the back of his head and sends him ribs first into the steel barricade! Time keeper had to leap out of his seat to avoid being caught in the crossfire, Maelstrom seating Finnegan into the steel chair as he drives his forearm into his jaw!
Lance Hart: What is he looking to do here? Walking away from Finnega -- no! He's looking for a running start as he charges towards Finnegan AND BIG BOOTS HIS HEAD!!! A serious impact from, not just from the boot of Maelstrom, but from the side of Finnegan's head crashing into the steel barricade as well!
Morgan Shaw: Finnegan clutching at his eye, referee having to leave the ring to check on his condition as Maelstrom stalks his prey like a vulture. Head of steam, charging again towards his victim! ANOTHER BIG BOOT COMING!!!
Lance Hart: Finnegan pushes the Referee out of harm's way and evades the oncoming boot! Maelstroms leg caught over the steel barricade as Finnegan comes to and dropkicks the right leg out from under Maelstrom!
Morgan Shaw: This is the opening that Finnegan needs to capitalize on, the first real piece of damage that he has been able to inflict onto the challenger! Maelstrom is clutching at his knee, it absolutely buckled from the impact! Come on kid, keep on him!
Lance Hart: Finnegan rolls back into the ring, trying to get his bearings as the referee asks if he is alright. Finn seems to be okay for the time being, but is allowing Maelstrom time to recover as he hobbles up to his feet... but it looks like Finn is about to leave his! He bounces off the ropes AND HITS WITH AN IMPACTFUL SUICIDE DIVE! BOTH MEN CRASHING INTO THE BARRICADE AS THE CROWD ARE IN AWE!
Morgan Shaw: Finnegan has seemingly found his second win though, quickly up to his feet and yells as he raises his fist in the air. He grabs Maelstrom, sending him back into the ring and quickly ascends to the top rope as Maelstrom begins to find his way back to his feet. Finnegan stands tall on the top rope as he awaits his opponent to turn around... AND DELIVERS A DIVING SHOTGUN DROPKICK RIGHT INTO THE HEART OF MAELSTROM!
Lance Hart: HOW IN THE HELL DID MAELSTROM STAY ON HIS FEET!? HE STUMBLED BACK BUT HE DIDN'T FALL! Finnegan to his feet, but Maelstrom is waiting! SHORT RANGED LARIAT!!!
Morgan Shaw: Finn avoided it, Maelstrom turns back around and EATS A PELE KICK RIGHT BETWEEN THE EYES! He's groggy, only barely able to remain on his feet as Finn scurries back onto his own and dropkicks Maelstrom right into a knee, forcing him down to one knee. Finnegan has to be thinking about what he has to do to keep down the challenger, and it looks like a barrage of kicks to the chest is his answer!
(Finnegan starts to fire into Maelstroms chest with a barrage of Soccerball kicks, to each one the Osaka crowd reacts with a chant of "OI!".)
Crowd: OI! OI! OI! OI! OI! OI! OI! OI! OI! OI!
Lance Hart: Ten stiff kicks to the chest by Finnegan, taking a step back BEFORE DELIVERING A BUZZSAW KICK TO THE SIDE OF MAELSTROMS HEAD! HE HASN'T GONE DOWN BUT HE LOOKS OUT OF IT, HIS EYES GLASSY FROM THAT LAST ONE! Finnegan is gritting his teeth, looking for a potential killing blow to his persistent challenger as he turns his back and runs off the ropes! GOODBYE EUPHORIA!? NO! FINNEGAN RUNS PAST MAELSTROM AND BOUNCES OFF THE ADJACENT ROPES! GOODBYE EUPHORIA TO THE BACK OF MAELSTROMS HEAD!?
Morgan Shaw: JESUS CHRIST! WHAT A LARIAT! MAELSTROM TURNED AT THE LAST SECOND AND CAUGHT FINNEGAN WITH ONE OF THE STIFFEST LARIATS I HAVE EVER SEEN! FINNEGAN GOT FOLDED UP LIKE AN ACCORDION! MAELSTROM GOES FOR THE COVER, SURPRISINGLY THE FIRST AND POSSIBLY THE LAST OF THIS CONTEST!
Referee: ONEEEE!!! TWOOOO!!! THREEEE--
Morgan Shaw: FINNEGAN SOMEHOW KICKED OUT! HE STILL HAS PLENTY OF FIGHT LEFT IN HIM!
Lance Hart: Maelstrom isn't unscathed from that assault of kicks however, it's taking him a little bit of time to collect himself as he also pulls Finnegan up to his feet. Champion hardly able to hold himself on his own feet, but Maelstrom doesn't intend to keep him on his feet long as he pushes him against the ropes and catches him with a sickening spinning spinebuster on the rebound!
Morgan Shaw: I think Maelstrom aware that the champion is currently at his mercy, and I think is looking to end this! Pulling Finnegan up to his feet one more time and hooking his arm over his shoulder! He's looking for the STO! HE CALLS THIS THE PHYCHO CRUUUUUSHAAAAAH!!!!
Lance Hart: WAKEFIELD SLIPS OUT! HE GOES BEHIND AND APPLIES THE FULL NELSON!!! ANDROMEDA!?!?!
Morgan Shaw: MAELSTROM BREAKS THE FULL NELSON, TURNS AROUND AND HITS A ROARING ELBOW INTO WAKEFIELDS JAW! HE LIFTS HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDER AND CHARGES HIM SPINE FIRST INTO THE CORNER! HE TURNS AROUND AND DRILLS FINNEGAN INTO THE CANVAS WITH A HARD RUNNING POWERSLAM!!! COVER!!!
Referee: ONEEEE!!! TWOOOOO!!! THREEEEEE!!!!
Lance Hart: Finnegan kicks out just in the nick of time! We almost just saw a new OWA World Champion, Morgan, but that might be the only thing that is keeping Finnegan alive in this contest!
Morgan Shaw: Maelstrom is growing frustrated with the resilience of the OWA Champion, pulling Finnegan up aggressively and pulling his head between his legs, underhooking both his arms! He pulls him up for the powerbomb! DARKNESS AWAITS!!!
Lance Hart: NO! FINNEGAN HURRICANRANAS MAELSTROM DOWN TO THE CANVAS, ROLLING THROUGH AND GRABBINGS AT MAELSTROMS LEG, ROLLING HIM OVER FOR AN ANKLE LOCK! This isn't Finnegan's usual style of attack, but he has made an opening in the leg of Maelstrom and is looking to take advantage!
Morgan Shaw: JEEESUS! LOOK AT THESE KICKS TO THE KNEE AS HE APPLIES THE ANKLE LOCK! HE WANTS THE SUBMISSION VICTORY HERE, PERHAPS OUT OF DESPERATION! HE GRAPEVINES THE LEGS -- THE KNEEBAR IS APPLIED! FINNEGAN USING ALL HIS WEIGHT TO ANCHOR THE CHALLENGER IN THE CENTER OF THE RING! HE HAS NOWHERE TO GO!
Lance Hart: Pain on the face of Maelstrom, that nasty kneebar Finnegan has applied is taking its toll on the challenger! Maelstrom is resisting any urge to submit, but for how much longer can he hold out?! He has to do something or he might have no choice but to submit!
Morgan Shaw: Not so fast, Lance! Maelstrom is kicking his foot back towards Finnegan, clipping him on the side of the head! It takes quite a few, but eventually, he kicks Finnegan off! Both men stumbling their way to their feet, Maelstrom hobbling to his feet while Finnegan clutches his eye as the two come face to face! Here we go, a trademark in Japanese wrestling, the forearm strike exchange! Back and forth, driving their forearm into the chin of their opponent!
Lance Hart: Finnegan delivering stiff palm strikes into the face of Maelstrom! Unable to fire back with anything as Finnegan lays into him with these vicious strikes to the head! I SPOKE TOO SOON; MAELSTROM DRIVES HIS HEAD INTO THE CHEST OF WAKEFIELD!!! The champion stumbles backwards into the ropes, Maelstrom hobbling over to capitalize!
Morgan Shaw: AHHH!!! FINNEGAN DESPERATELY CLASHES SKULLS WITH MAELSTROM WITH A SICKENING HEADBUTT OF HIS OWN! MAELSTROM STUMBLES BACKWARDS AS FINNEGAN NEEDS TO USE THE ROPE TO HOLD HIMSELF ONTO HIS FEET! FUCKING HELL!
Lance Hart: Finnegan grits his teeth, he needs to take advantage and quickly! He finds the strength to hold himself up as he swings with a roundhouse kick! BUT MAELSTROM CATCHES HIS LEG AND PULLS HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! JACKNIFE POWERBOMB!!! FINNEGAN PLANTED ONTO THE CANVAS!!!
Morgan Shaw: What a back and forth match! Maelstrom going for the cover again!
Referee: ONEEEE!!! TWOOOO!!! THREEEEEE!!!!!
Morgan Shaw: It's ove-- NO! FINNEGAN GETS THE SHOULDER UP! THE HEART OF THE OWA WORLD CHAMPION BEATS ON!!!
Lance Hart: But Maelstrom is signaling that the end is near! He turns away from Finnegan as he slowly ascends to the top turnbuckle! His leg giving him trouble, but he's at the top! Are we going to see a Moonsault from this two hundred and forty pound man!?
Morgan Shaw: Finnegan is up and he swings high with a roundhouse, crotching the challenger on the top rope! Maelstrom falls backwards! His leg is caught on the turnbuckle, he's trapped in the tree of woe! Finnegan slouched against the ropes, that kick may have been all he could muster up at that time!
Lance Hart: Maybe so, but he see's an opportunity to put away the challenger as he climbs to the apron and slowly ascends the turnbuckle! Maelstrom trying to free himself as Finnegan stands over him on the turnbuckle! HE DIVES!!!
Morgan Shaw: AIR RAAAAAAID!!! THE DOUBLE FOOTSTOMP CONNECTS AND DRIVES MAELSTROMS BACK DOWN TO THE MAT WITH ALL THE VELOCITY OF FINNEGANS WEIGHT COMPRESSING DOWN ON HIS CHEST!!! FINNEGAN CRAWLS INTO THE COVER! THIS COULD BE IT!!!
Referee: ONEEEEEEE!!! TWOOOOOOO!!! THREEEEEEEEE!!!
Lance Hart: NO!!! MAELSTROM KICKS OUT!!! That was as close as it gets!
Morgan Shaw: What is it going to take to keep this guy down?!
Lance Hart: Finnegan is running out of options, and it looks like he's going for the opus magnum; the Wakefield Special III! He underhooks both of Maelstrom's arms, looking for the bridge to his signature hold!!! -- No! Maelstrom, somehow, someway, finds the strength and wherewithal to break Finnegan's grip before he can get the hold applied! He fires back with an elbow strike that catches Finnegan on the bridge of his nose!
Morgan Shaw: He had that move scouted, pulling himself up and tucking Finnegans head underneath his arm and tosses his arm over his shoulder! This is it -- this is the move that he used to lay Wakefield out last week! HE LIFTS HIM UP!!! JACKHAMMER!!! ASCEND TO MADNESSSS!!!
Lance Hart: FINNEGAN SLIPS BEHIND! FINNEGAN SLIPS BEHIND MAELSTROM AND GRIPS HIM AROUND THE WAIST! MAELSTROM IS FIRING ELBOWS BACK INTO THE SIDE OF FINNEGANS HEAD BUT HE'S NOT LETTING GO! FINNEGAN CHARGES MAELSTROMS CHEST INTO THE TURNBUCKLE! ROLLS BACK INTO THE O'CONNOR ROLL, REFEREE IN POSITION FOR THE COVER!!!
Referee: O-- !!!
Morgan Shaw: NO WAY!!! FINNEGAN FOLLOWS THROUGH WITH A CHAOS THEORY DRAGON SUPLEX!!! FINNEGAN HITS THE ANDROMEDA FROM ABSOLUTELY NOWHERE!!! SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!!
Referee and Crowd: ONEEEEEE!!! TWOOOO!!!! THREEEEEE!!!!! OOOOOO!!!
Lance Hart: FINN ROLLS THROUGH AGAIN! PUTTING MAELSTROM INTO THE SEATED POSITION AS HE CRUCIFIXES THE ARMS AND STARTS VICIOUSLY STRIKING MAELSTROM IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH THESE SHARP BASEMENT ELBOW STRIKES!!! MAELSTROM MIGHT BE KNOCKED OUT!!!
Morgan Shaw: BUT FINNEGAN HAS ONLY ONE WAY TO BE SURE AS HE LOCKS THE ARMS AGAIN INTO THE FULL NELSON, FINDING SOME INHUMAN STRENGTH TO DEADLIFT MAELSTROM BACK UP!!! EVEREST STYLE DRAGON SUPLEXXXX!!! THE SECOND ANDROMEDA HITS AND THE SHOULDERS ARE DOWN!!!
Referee and Crowd: ONEEEEEE!!! TWOOOOOO!!!! THREEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING! DING! DING!)
(Finnegan breaks his hold on Maelstrom, looking into the lights as he runs his fingers
through his hair almost in disbelief.)
Saya Takada: <Your winner of this match, and still OWA World Champion! ... FINNEGAAAAN!!! WAAAKEFIEEEEELD!!!>
("Evolution: Entering The New World (SSW Mix)" by Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas fills the arena as Finnegan is slowly helped to his feet by Shoot Nation members Vanessa Santiago and Steven Cassidy as Maelstrom is pulled out of the ring by Phantom Troupe member Kerry Keller. The OWA World Championship handed to Finnegan Wakefield as his hand is raised by the referee, while Maelstrom looks back into the ring with disdain on his face before being helped to the back. Cassidy helps put the championship around Finnegan's waist, before both shaking hands with his one-night Shoot Nation faction members before the evacuate the ring, allowing Finnegan to celebrate alone in the ring. He beckons for a microphone as Saya Takada slides one to him as his theme dies down and the Osaka crowd chant " :clap: FINN-E-GAN! :clap: FINN-E-GAN! :clap: FINN-E-GAN! :clap: ". Through heavy breathing, he speaks.)
Finnegan Wakefield: This-- this has been a life-changing experience, to say the least. Almost two years ago, I came to this country and wrestled in the Tokyo Dome as a young lion, only just cutting his teeth in the world of wrestling. Today, I wrestled in front of one of the most passionate crowds in the entire world as a world champion.
(The Osaka crowd applauds.)
Finnegan Wakefield: It is an honor and a privilege to wrestle in this country because I have admired how Japan treats professional wrestling, how deeply rooted this country's origins are when it comes to the sport. This has been a special event, a rare occasion where I could come here, challenge a Japanese competitor like Maelstrom, and establish this title *truly* as a World Championship.
(Another applause from the thousands in attendance.)
Finnegan Wakefield: That being said, I have enjoyed this experience. It has taught me what I already know; that I want to come back to Japan. When that will be, I don't know. But I can promise that, when it is time to come back, I will be defending this title again. Now, I'm no profound speaker in Japanese but, from the bottom of my heart, to everyone that made this opportunity happen, to the Shoot Nation members who allowed me to stay here for the week and, of course, to all the Japanese fans here today and tomorrow... ARIGATO GOZAIMASHITA!!!
("Evolution: Entering The New World (SSW Mix)" plays once more as Finnegan bows to each side of the ring, streamers being thrown inside by the ground floor crowd before Finnegan leaves the ring, heading up the ramp before turning back just before he exits through the curtain, patting the championship around his waist with his hand before once again pointing to the sky.)
(Both SSW and OWA logos buzz on screen, signaling the end of the first night event.)
