(The camera fades back into The Osaka Dome to see the fans to where a video plays on the titantron with a recap of the events from the first day of Budokai Tenkaichi! The One True Pairing successfully defended their SSW Freebird Tag Team Championship against Shoot Nation’s Belle Kingsley and The Apparition, The Phantom Troupe continued their dominance in tag team action when the SSW Heritage Champion Khmaoch Sangkat pinned April Song to let Tarah Nova know that her path to the championship would not be easy, Gareth Cason brought an impressive championship defense for the OWA Television Championship against Nathan Quinn, The OWA Women’s Championship Match ended in a no-contest with Robbie V and Heart Break Gal returning to help Sweet Roxy against Aria Jaxon, The Phantom Troupe’s CM Nas and Saul Omen claimed victory after Stark betrayed Daniels with Jacob Senn making his grand return at Stark’s expense, and finally Finnegan Wakefield was able to retain the OWA World Championship in what was a grueling bout against the debuting Maelstrom in the main event of the first night of Budokai Tenkaichi! After that the crowd started to get excited when the we are brought to the OWA commentary table with Gia Cervantes and Ashley Walker… )
Gia Cervantes: WELCOME BACK EVERYONE TO THE CROSSOVER EVENT THAT YOU NEVER EXPECTED TO HAPPEN BETWEEN STRONG STYLE WRESTLING AND OMEGA WRESTLING ALLIANCE… BUDOKAI TENKAICHI! Last night was an epic night of wrestling as we watched matches like Finnegan Wakefield retaining his championship against Maelstrom in a match that almost lasted an hour! What an amazing match it was and some heartfelt words were shared by him at the end of the night!
Ashley Walker: Yes, but what about all the returns? Robbie V and The Heart Break Gal ARE BACK and have come to the aid of their daughter, Sweet Roxy, to make sure she keeps possession of the OWA Women’s Championship! Not only that, but Jacob Senn has returned too and made the challenge that has been confirmed by SSW management that it will be Stark vs. Jacob Senn at Domination IN THREE STAGES OF HELL! A lot of amazing things came from Night One of Budokai, but let’s see what happens tonight ON THE SECOND AND FINAL NIGHT OF BUDOKAI TENKAICHI!
(The titantron shows the upcoming match with the camera panning back towards the ring announcer standing the middle of the ring, the lovely Julianna DeMarco, as she looks out towards the sea of people in attendance in The Osaka Dome.)
Julianna DeMarco: This next contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!
(“Theme of the Outer Senshi” plays to a bit of a quiet reaction however the response is positive. Flashing lights and smoke cover the stage before Diantha appears through the smoke on the stage with a very determined look on her face. She removes the hood from her black and orange jacket before unclipping it and throwing it down onto the stage. She begins to make her descent down the aisle.)
Julianna DeMarco: Introducing first… she is THE FORGOTTEN SENSHI, DIIIIIIAAANNTTHHAAAA MOOOORRREEAAAAUUU!!!
Gia Cervantes: Tonight we are going to see what I am sure will be an absolute BATTLE between two warriors of women’s wrestling! On one side of the ring we are going to have one of the most anticipated debuts in OWA’s short history in Azumi Goto against a goddess who has still yet to find a victory under her belt while on the roster in Diantha Moreau.
Ashley Walker: Diantha Moreau has almost been gifted this huge opportunity to make a huge statement in front of tens of thousands of people here in one of the most respectful wrestling crowds in all of the world! That’s a lot of pressure for somebody still scratching that surface and looking for a victory, but Diantha is becoming more and more determined to get it and potentially pull off an upset victory here right now!
(“Innocent Treasures” by Demetori plays to a huge ovation as Azumi runs out from behind the curtains with a huge smile on her face. Azumi begins to air-guitar on the stage as pyrotechnics go off before making her descent down the aisle, waving out at the endless sea of fans as she goes.)
Julianna DeMarco: And her opponent… making her debut under the Omega Wrestling Alliance banner! From Yonabaru, Okinawa, Japan! She is THE GODDESS OF THE SUN… AAZZZZUUUUMMMIIIII GOOOOOOOOOTTTOOOOOO!!!
Gia Cervantes: LISTEN TO THIS THUNDEROUS OVATION FOR THE HOME COUNTRY GIRL! AZUMI GOTO IS FINALLY MAKING HER IN-RING DEBUT ASH AND I FOR ONE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT SHE’S GOING TO DISPLAY!
Ashley Walker: It’s not everyday you’re able to make your debut for a new wrestling promotion in front of tens of thousands of people, but Azumi Goto is a very lucky girl! I’m sure she’s ready to put on an excellent display of pure wrestling here tonight at Budokai Tenkaichi!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Gia Cervantes: That’s the bell and we are underway! Both women stare at each other from
their respective corners as the sold out crowd here in Osaka are applauding and are ready for this upcoming battle! Both women begin to circle one another trying to guess who is going to make the first move, but they both lock up in the center! It’s a power struggle, but Diantha Moreau wraps Azumi Goto in a headlock! Diantha keeps it applied but Azumi begins to use her strong legs to push Diantha into the ropes before forcing her forward! Diantha heads to the other side of the ring before rebounding back and delivering a SHOULDER TAKEDOWN! Azumi is floored!
Ashley Walker: Diantha heads for the ropes again and Azumi Goto flips over onto her stomach! Diantha leaps over Azumi and heads to the other side and Azumi rises to her feet. Diantha comes back but Azumi sends her to the ropes AGAIN! Diantha doesn’t come back however as she wraps her arms around the top rope before Azumi can deliver an attack! Azumi runs towards Diantha now and Diantha somersaults forward. Azumi stops at the ropes as Diantha runs towards her! Azumi pushes Diantha into the ropes as she rebounds and Azumi grabs her around the waist… SNAP DRAGON SUPLEX!!!
Gia Cervantes: HOLD UP! Diantha flipped backwards and onto one knee! She motions forward for a leg sweep but Azumi leaps over it! Azumi attempts a shoot kick to the chest of Diantha but Diantha falls back to dodge it! Diantha with the kip up and both ladies take one step toward each other… but then stop! They stare at one another huffing and puffing and these fans in Osaka give a WELL DESERVED round of applause for that amazing action!
Ashley Walker: Fantastic! What an incredible sequence to open up this contest! OH! Diantha runs towards Azumi but Azumi rolls around the waist of Diantha before rising back to her feet! Diantha turns… OHHHH MY GOODNESS GRACIOUS! WHAT A HEADBUTT!!! AZUMI GOTO DELIVERS A VICIOUS HEADBUTT RIGHT TO THE FOREHEAD OF DIANTHA AND SHE DROPS TO HER KNEES BEFORE ROLLING UNDER THE BOTTOM ROPE AND OUT OF THE RING!
Gia Cervantes: Diantha is struggling to find her bearings! Sheesh that headbutt really took it out of her! Look how she’s struggling to stay on her feet! She begins to turn around toward the ring, but AZUMI GOTO IS MAKING A RUN FOR IT! THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE FOR THE ELBOW SUICIDA!!! That sends Diantha directly into the security barricade but she remains on her feet and Azumi lands on hers! Azumi grabs Diantha by the back of the neck and rolls her back into the ring. Azumi slides back in too. Diantha is up on her knees and Azumi gets in position for a switchblade kick!! Diantha drops onto her stomach as Azumi rolls her over onto her back for a pin!
Elle Halen: ONEEEEEEEEEE!! TWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Ashley Walker: A kick out! Diantha begins to crawl over towards one of the corners as Azumi Goto rises up to her feet. She begins to start a slow clap and the crowd joins in! Azumi rushes forward for a running corner elbow smash to the side of the head!
Gia Cervantes: WAIT! Diantha ducks it before delivering a VICIOUS KNIFE EDGE CHOP TO THE CHEST OF AZUMI!! There’s another one! And another! And another one! Diantha I think has finally found herself after taking that headbutt earlier. Diantha spins Azumi around and forces her into the corner before wrapping her arms around Azumi’s waist! She lifts for a GERMAN SUPLEX! Azumi rolls through onto her knees as Diantha rises back up. Look at how her expression has changed her, Ash! Look at her eyes! Diantha steps forward for a SHOOT KICK TO THE CHEST!! Diantha drops to a cover!
Elle Halen: ONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
Ashley Walker: No good. Azumi gets her shoulders up at the count of one. Diantha has taken control however as she sits The Goddess of the Sun up before wrapping her in a headlock. Diantha keeps the hold applied there as Elle begins to check on Azumi. Azumi isn’t looking to give up though as she begins to slam her boot down into the canvas. The fans begin to clap to the motion as Azumi slowly begins to rise up and overpower Diantha! OOF! An elbow to the gut of Diantha. And another and Diantha releases the hold! Azumi goes to head for the ropes, but DIANTHA GRABS AZUMI BY HER HAIR AND SLAMS HER DOWN INTO THE MAT!
Gia Cervantes: I am loving the aggression out of Diantha right now! Azumi begins to sit up as Diantha runs for the ropes. She rebounds off of them for a PENALTY KICK!! RIGHT TO THE FACE, GOOD LORD!! Diantha drops for a cover.
Elle Halen: ONEEEEEEEE!! TWOOOOOOOOOO!!
Gia Cervantes: Another kick out however. That was a vicious kick, Ash! Could have shattered Azumi’s nose!
Ashley Walker: Indeed and she got lucky! Azumi begins to roll over to the near corner as Diantha watches on. I think she’s got a plan in mind. With a smirk on her face, she backs up to the opposite corner and awaits Azumi to rise up. Usually Gia, this is where Diantha calls for that cartwheel elbow smash that she likes to call Rueda De Catherine!
Gia Cervantes: I think you’re right Ash. Azumi has used the turnbuckles to get her back up to a vertical base as Diantha sprints forward! Here she goes! She handsprings forward… but AZUMI RUSHES FORWARD AS WELL TO MEET HER! BLAAAAAACCKK OOOOOOOOUTTT! A RUNNING BICYCLE KNEE RIGHT TO THE TEMPLE OF DIANTHA JUST AS SHE LEAPT FORWARD TO DELIVER THAT ELBOW! GOOD GOD! Diantha Moreau falls down in a heap in the ring as Azumi backs herself up into the corner again. She begins to hype herself up! Diantha is NOT moving! I think that knee knocked her lights out, Ash!
Ashley Walker: I think you’re right, Gia! Azumi steps forward and lifts Diantha up from behind. Is this the beginning of the end?! Azumi gets Diantha’s arms trapped! This is it! She’s calling for it… SHUTDOWN STYLE GERMAN SUPLEX!!! RIGHT ONTO DIANTHA’S HEAD!! AZUMI HAS BRIDGED FOR THE PIN!!
Elle Halen: ONEEEEEEEEE!! TWOOOOOOOOOOO!! THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Innocent Treasures” by Demetori plays to a big round of applause and cheers from the fans as Azumi Goto rises up to her knees and raises her fists in the air in victory.)
Julianna DeMarco: Here is your winner… AAAAZZZUUUMMMIIII GOOOOOOOOTTTTOOO!!!
Gia Cervantes: HUGE victory here tonight in her debut match for Omega Wrestling Alliance! Azumi Goto walked into this event with all the hype surrounding her and she sure as hell lived up to it with a massive first win under the OWA banner!
Ashley Walker: Azumi Goto will now look to build her momentum up bit by bit now with perhaps a championship match in the near future?
Gia Cervantes: One of the best female performers on the planet would certainly be one of the names to challenge… Sweet Roxy… for the belt.
Ashley Walker: Okay don’t need to be so sour, Gia. But what does this mean for Diantha Moreau now? All that determination and all that confidence coming into this match and she once again picks up another loss?!
Gia Cervantes: Guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
(Azumi Goto continues to celebrate her victory as she rolls outside of the ring and celebrates with the fans for the moment while she makes her exit from the arena backstage. Diantha Moreau pulls herself up to her feet in disappointment as he rolls out of the ring, holding her lower back from the suplex as he makes her way towards the exit to leave the arena. The ring has been cleared by everyone except for the ring announcer in Julianna DeMarco that takes to the center of the ring as the titantron reveals the next match to come.)
Julianna DeMarco: The following contest is scheduled for OOONNNNEEEEE FALLLLL! And it is for the OWA Spartan Championship!
(‘The New Black’ by Strapping Young Lad echoes throughout the dome as Monolith appears at the top of the ramp. He looks focused beyond belief and is wearing a long, black, sleeveless leather jacket with a Daruma doll on the back. The doll has a single eye filled in.)
DeMarco: From the Bronx, New York City, New York, he weighs in at 315 lbs, MONOLITH!
Lance Hart: Monolith might just be the single biggest threat to the reign of Scotty Adams yet. This man is a hybrid being, strong, dangerous, intelligent. Just look at his jacket, the single eye filled in on the Daruma doll signifying a goal yet to be obtained. Not only is he academically inclined, but he’s aware of the cultural customs of where he’s wrestling.
Morgan Shaw: This guy’s an animal! I honestly don’t know how the hell Scotty is gonna survive tonight!
(Monolith enters the ring and stands in the center, stoically, waiting for his opponent)
(‘Red Hour’ by Stria kicks in, as the silhouette of Scotty Adams take its place at the top of the ramp, bathed in high-ley maroon lighting. As the lights come up and Scotty is visible, he is wearing an Obsidian t-shirt, sporting a tiger design on the front. Underneath, in canary yellow font, the words ‘The Harbinger of Fate’. The Spartan’s Title shimmers in the light, looking as beautiful as ever.)
DeMarco: And his opponent, from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, weighing in at 185 lbs, he is the OWA Spartan Champion, “The Silver Bullet”….SCOTTTTTYYYYY ADAAAAMMMMSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Hart: For my money, Shaw, Scotty Adams is the best champion in the OWA today. He has defended that title against all comers, took unimaginable beatings, often in multi-man matches, and has always come out victorious.
Shaw: I agree with you, partner! The run Scotty’s on is unrivalled by maybe anyone in the wrestling world, he has truly embodied the warrior ethos that that title was modelled after, and there is nobody he will not face.
(Scotty enters the ring and gets right in Monolith’s face, raising the belt high and in an aggressive manner, Monolith is seething with rage.)
Hart: Scotty showing that he does not fear the man they call Monolith, is this wise, friend?
Shaw: I can see the logic here, get in the monster’s face, prove that you’re the real deal and that you’re gonna give him the fight of his life. But I don’t know, is he poking the sleeping bear here? Is Monolith really the type of guy that you wanna piss off before the biggest title defence of your career? The international reputation of the Spartan division is on the line here, Scotty knows that and antagonising a man of Monolith’s stature may not be the best move. Remember who he beat to earn this opportunity.
Hart: That’s right, Monolith had to go through “The Revenant” himself, Michael Bishop to be here, pound for pound, perhaps the toughest man in our industry. He more than deserves to be here and I don’t think he’s gonna let Scotty Adams throw his weight around like this!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Hart: And it’s time for this match to get underway here SCOTTY ADAMS RIGHT OUT OF THE GATE, GUNNING STRAIGHT FOR MONOLITH! A FLURRY OF QUICK STRIKES! UPPERCUT! LEG KICK! ELBOW! KNEE STRIKE! HE’S TURNING HIM INTO A PINATA!
Shaw: Wow! Monolith was not anticipating this! Scotty Adams knows he has to finish this one early before the big man can get a rhythm going! Oh! And a roundhouse kick to the head dazes the monster! Who drops to one knee! Scotty bounces off the rope and connects with a discus clothesline!
Hart: Monolith is dazed! He’s still not on the mat but he is out of it! Scotty is pulling him up and locking his arms around that giant waist, no way in hell can he pull this off…
Shaw: MELBOURNE LIGHTS! SCOTTY ADAMS WITH A HERCULEAN DEMONSTRATION OF STRENGTH JUST NAILED A MAN ALMOST TWICE HIS SIZE WITH A PICTURE PERFECT NORTHERN LIGHTS SUPLEX! MONOLITH IS STILL MAKING HIS WAY TO HIS FEET…
HART: Scotty hits the ropes and- SILVER BULLET! NO FREAKING WAY! HE HIT HIS FINISHNG MOVE MERE MINUTES INTO THIS CONTEST! THE MASTERMIND THAT IS SCOTTY ADAMS HAS WORKED OUT THE FORMULA TO FELL MONOLITH!!! HE’S HOOKING THAT LEG WITH CONFIDENCE NOW!!!
Ref: ONEEEEE TW-
Shaw: WHAT?! NO?! MONOLITH JUST PRESSED SCOTTY OUTTA THE DAMN RING BEFORE THE REF EVEN COUNTED ONE! UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE!
Hart: THAT SILVER BULLET HAS WON SCOTTY SO MANY MATCHES BEFORE! IT’S THE DEADLIEST MOVE IN HIS ARSENAL AND MONOLITH JUST GAVE THE MOST IMPRESSIVE KICK OUT I’VE EVER SEEN BEFORE EVEN A ONE COUNT!! I AM SHOOK!!!
Shaw: And Monolith just pops straight up and lets out an ungodly roar. Scotty is standing on the outside with a look of total disbelief on his face. He’s never been in a position like this before! His plan went off without a hitch, but there was no way he could have anticipated Monolith being borderline indestructible!
Hart: And Monolith is motioning for Scotty to re-enter the ring, which “The Silver Bullet” does with trepidation, how in God’s name is he supposed to react to what just happened to him?
Shaw: Well he’d better react fast, because Monolith has grabbed Scotty by the scruff of his neck and flung him into the corner! Oh and he’s nailing Adams with lethal forearms! Each one harder than the last! Scotty looks like he’s on dream street!
Hart: Monolith grabs Scotty’s waist and just hurls him three quarters of the way across the ring! Scotty is using the opposite corner for support but oh! Monolith charges into the corner and connects with a gargantuan running splash! Scotty’s body pinned between the unforgiving turnbuckles and the ungodly mass of Monolith! And Scotty collapses to the floor as the breath exits his lungs, clutching his stomach with one hand and his back with the other!
Shaw: Scotty does have a history of back problems and Monolith is smart enough to exploit that as he rains down stomps onto the spine of Scotty Adams! Does this man know remorse? I don’t think he does!
Ref: One! Two! Three! Four!
Hart: And Monolith ceases the assault before the ref administers the full five count. The intelligence of this titan on display here, fully taking advantage of the four seconds he has to inflict pain upon Scotty’s person in the corner. He’s yanking up the lifeless husk of Scotty Adams now. Monolith isn’t here to entertain folks, he’s here to annihilate the champ. Oh and he plants Scotty with a belly-to-belly, bringing his full weight down on top of him!
Shaw: Scotty is gasping for air right now, his ribcage might be crushed. We really need to think about getting some help out here, this is tough to watch. Monolith isn’t letting up either, he pulls Scotty up yet again and lifts him up for a bear hug!
Hart: He’s squeezing with all of his might and shaking Scotty around like a damn ragdoll! This is gonna be putting equal pressure on the chest and back of Scotty Adams, I don’t believe we’ll ever see Scotty quit but the ref needs to consider calling this one off.
Shaw: Scotty is reaching out for the ropes helplessly, they’re in the middle of the ring and even Scotty’s advantageous height can’t help him here. He’s been neutralised in a vertical position and is rapidly losing consciousness!
Hart: Scotty is starting to fade, and what a damn shame it would be for his incredible reign to end like this. He’s gone completely limp now, Monolith could be closing in on the title. The ref is lifting up Scotty’s arm, if he is unable to answer after his arm has been dropped three times, the match will be over.
Ref: ONE!
Shaw: Not like this, please!
Ref: TWO!
Hart: Oh my God, this is happening.
Ref: THRE-
Shaw: AND SCOTTY SPRINGS TO LIFE, CLENCHING HIS FISTS AND LETTING OUT A BATTLE CRY! I KNEW IT! I KNEW HE WOULD REFUSE TO GO DOWN LIKE THAT! HE’S NAILING MONOLITH WITH ELBOWS BUT THE MONSTER ISN’T BUDGING! WHAT THE HELL IS HE MADE OF?!
Hart: And Monolith goes for another belly-to-belly, this time an overhead release, uncharacteristic of him and SCOTTY ADAMS LANDS IN HIS FEET! WHAT AGILITY FROM THE MOST ATHLETIC SPECIMEN IN THE OWA!
Shaw: Scotty is holding onto the ropes for support, a lot has been taken out of him. Monolith charges at him and Scotty was playing possum! He pulls down the ropes as Monolith tumbles to the outside!
Hart: This time is crucial for Adams, he must use it wisely. Aside from his early onslaught that seemingly had no effect on Monolith, his opponent has controlled this match thus far and a lot of damage has been done at the expense of “The Epitome of Excellence”.
Shaw: Scotty slides under the ropes and takes his shot! He hits Monolith with a stiff roundhouse kick the side of the head and begins to work him over with chops and forearms!
Ref: ONE!
Hart: He’s striking with hard precision, each one connecting flush and reeling the big man from the Bronx!
Ref: TWO!
Shaw: Monolith swings with a right of his own! It connects and dazes Scotty, who stumbles towards the timekeeper’s area! Man, Scotty really can’t catch a break, huh?
Ref: THREE!
Hart: Scotty is on spaghetti legs right now, that one really sent him through the ringer! Monolith is staring Scotty down who is propped up against that barricade, you don’t suppose…?
Ref: FOUR!
Shaw: MONOLITH RUNS AT SCOTTY FULL SPEED AND EXPLODES THROUGH THE BARRICADE! HOLY SH- CRAP! SCOTTY ADAMS JUST GOT WIPED OUT! THERE IS NO WAY HE SURVIVES THAT!
Ref: FIVE!
Hart: Monolith has to get Adams back inside the ring though! A count-out victory won’t get him the title! I know he doesn’t care as much as most about winning the “right way”, but he surely understands the significance of taking the title off of a man with the reputation of Scotty Adams!
Ref: SIX!
Shaw: And Monolith is dragging Scotty by his right arm, there is no movement from Scotty whatsoever, this, this is hard to watch.
Ref: SEVEN!
Hart: He picks Scotty up and dumps him back into the ring…what’s this? He’s pulling him out again? Well, the count’s now been broken so he doesn’t need to worry about that for the time being-
Shaw: AND MONOLITH PICKS UP SCOTTY ADAMS AND DELIVERS THE STONESTHROW THROUGH OUR ANNOUNCE DESK! THAT PUMPHANDLE SIT OUT DRIVER SENDING OUR TABLE EVERY WHICH WAY BUT WHERE! THIS IS HORRIFIC!!
Hart: SCOTTY ADAMS NEEDS MEDICAL ATTENTION GODDAMNIT! YOU KNOW WHAT! SCREW IT! HEY! ANYBODY IN THE BACK THAT CAN HEAR ME? SEND EMTS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW FOR CHRIST SAKE!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU PLAYING AT?!
(A group of five EMTs make their way down the ramp with a stretcher as the referee warns Monolith to back off from Scotty)
EMT 1: Scotty? Scotty can you hear me? I need you to look into this light I’m about to shine in your eyes, can you do that for me? Scotty?
EMT 2: He’s not responding, we need to get him to the hospital.
EMTs 3 and 4: One, two, three!
(The EMTs load Scotty onto the stretcher as the crowd look on in stunned silence)
EMT 5: (To the ref) Scotty Adams cannot continue, he is in no condition to wrestle and risks permanent damage if this match goes on.
Ref: (To Julianna DeMarco) Tell the timekeeper to ring the bell, I have to call this match off as a stoppage, Monolith is the new Spartan Champion.
Hart: It appears the referee has saw it fit to rule this match a stoppage and I cannot blame him one bit, Scotty Adams was at serious risk. Ladies and gentlemen watching at home, this means that Monolith is seconds away from being crowned the new Spartan Champion.
Shaw: It’s a real shame to see it all end like this but it was only a matter of time before Scotty’s work ethic caught up with him. I don’t care how high a level you’re at physically, when you’re constantly defending your title in high profile matches against the best this business has to offer, your body will give out on you. This is the result of all the punishment Scotty has took these last two months or so. He’s been a fighting champion to the very end, but many would argue that this was a long time coming for somebody so resilient, so switched on 24/7.
Hart: And it seems Julianna DeMarco is about to make the announcement as Scotty Adams is being wheeled up the ramp.
DeMarco: Ladies and gentlemen, due to Scotty Adams being unable to continue, the referee has ruled this match a stoppage, and therefore you NEWWWW Spartan Champion…..MONOLI-
(The crowd erupt in a deafening roar as near the top of the ramp, Scotty Adams fights his way off of the stretcher, throwing the EMTs to one side, he is almost crawling down the ramp, coughing up copious amounts of blood and having to use the barricade to support himself without falling.)
Shaw: NO FUCKIN-
Hart: FREAKING! NO FREAKING WAY! EXCUSE MY BROADCAST PARTNER, FOLKS, HE GOT A LITTLE EXCITED THERE BUT CAN YOU BLAME HIM?!!?! SCOTTY ADAMS HAS RISEN FROM THE DEAD AND IS MAKING HIS WAY BACK TO THE RING!!!
Shaw: BUT ISN’T THE MATCH OVER?! MONOLITH WAS LITERALLY MOMENTS AWAY FROM BEING CROWNED CHAMPION!!
Hart: Bell never rang, friend! Scotty got up in the nick of time but I can’t condone this decision from him. He has his health to think about, his well being. Scotty, there’s a life beyond wrestling, man! Do you want to live that life in constant pain?!
Shaw: I don’t think he cares, Lance! Powered by nothing more than sheer will, Scotty Adams is crawling up the ring steps and clawing his way back into the ring! Monolith has a look of bewilderment in his face!
Hart: And rightly so! He just hit Scotty Adams with his best shot through our very own table, not long after driving him full force through the barricade! Scotty appears to be approaching the referee now…
Scotty: (To the ref) This ends on my say *cough, splutter* not yours!
Ref: Scotty I-
Scotty: You ring that bell and give him the title, and I’ll hold you responsible.
Shaw: Scotty Adams isn’t one to mince words, the message is clear: let him fight!
Hart: Monolith wasting no time, he swings and Scotty goes low! He grabs Monolith’s ankle and is clinging onto it like wreckage in a storm! He’s yanking at the thing with a hellacious ankle lock!
Shaw: This is smart on Scotty’s part, he’s running on fumes right now and is relying on moves that use Monolith’s own momentum and strength against him! It’s a great strategy to conserve energy. There really is no one smarter between those ropes than “The Silver Bullet of Wrestling!”
Hart: Monolith goes to grab Scotty’s arm and he transitions into a triangle! He really is a technical wizard! Monolith seems to have anticipated this and is lifting Scotty up for a powerbomb, he still has so much energy left, it’s gonna take more than this for Adams to wear him down enough to secure victory!
Shaw: Scotty knows that though! He released the triangle and drops back down to the mat to lock in a kneebar! This is brilliant ground game! Monolith is just getting frustrated now! He’s going to strike Scotty and he’s caught in an armbar! Jesus Christ!
Hart: Scotty Adams has Monolith simultaneously locked in both a knee AND an armbar! He shouldn’t even be able to walk, let alone wrestle at such a high level right now!
Shaw: It’s why he’s champion, Lance! He leads by example! Thinks on his feet! He’s worked out Monolith’s weakness and is exploiting it! Stop the big man from having any sort of momentum and he’s helpless! Scotty has took every shot Monolith can throw and now he’s lured him into his trap! It was a very risky strategy but it seems to be working!
Hart: I don’t see Monolith as the tapping out type, but he might be forced to here! Just one of those moves is painful on its own, but both? Monolith has an expression of pure agony on his face!
Ref: Monolith, you wanna give it up?
Monolith: (In complete agony, but still somehow calm) Never.
Shaw: Monolith seems to have a solution though as he simply falls forward to crush Scotty!
Hart: BUT SCOTTY WITH HIS GODLIKE REFLEXES RELEASES BOTH HOLDS AND DARTS THROUGH MONOLITH’S LEGS AS THE BIG MAN FACE PLANTS HIMSELF ON THE MAT! AND SCOTTY SEES THAT MONOLITH IS QUICKLY SCRAMBLING BUT THERE IT IS!!!
Shaw: SILVER BULLET! SCOTTY BOUNCING OFF THE ROPES LIKE A LIGHTNING BOLT AND PLANTING ONE RIGHT IN THE KISSER! BUT MONOLITH IS STILL GETTING UP! TWO SILVER BULLETS AND THIS BIG BASTARD WON’T STAY DOWN!
Hart: But Scotty isn’t shocked this time, he knows that Monolith is made of something else, that he’s almost not human, it seems that Silver Bullet was just to wound the animal! He’s following up with a series of kicks to the side of Monolith’s head! Each shot is rocking that massive cranium of his and- Oh Monolith’s grabbed the leg and is standing up but Scotty hits a picture perfect enziguri! Monolith is being outclassed in every way right now as Scotty puts on a counter wrestling clinic!
Shaw: Monolith is stumbling towards the corner and A THIRD SILVER BULLET CONNECT STRAIGHT TO THE DOME! I DON’T CARE HOW TOUGH YOU ARE, THAT’S SENDING YOU DOWN!
Hart: And Monolith collapses in a heap the floor! Scotty climbs up to the middle rope and is begging Monolith to get up one more time!
Shaw: Monolith obliges and Scotty hooks his head, looks like he’s going for a tornado DDT from the middle rope! What’s this though? Monolith climbs up with him and Scotty looks perplexed! He’s not used to being up on the top rope! He’s a ground game kinda guy!
Hart: Oh my God…n-no, please God no. Monolith has broke free of the headlock and is grabbing Scotty with tremendous force, he appears to setting up Stone’s Throw from the top!
Shaw: To take out a man as tough as Scotty, that’s what it’s gonna take! Scotty is firing back with elbows and fists though! He knows this could spell the end for him! OH SH-
Hart: MONOLITH WITH A STONE’S THROW FROM THE TOP ROPE AND BOTH MEN CRASH TO THE GROUND! CHRIST! SCOTTY ADAMS IS CONVULSING ON THE FLOOR! MONOLITH IS CRAWLING OVER FOR THE PIN! HE HOOKS THE LEG!
Ref: ONNNNNNNEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!
Shaw: Just end this before someone is hurt for the rest of their lives!
Ref: TWWWWWWOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hart: Scotty fought like a warrior but his constant battles have caught up to him.
Ref: TTTHHHHHHRRRRRREEEEEEE-
Shaw: WHAT THE HELL!! SOMEONE JUST DRAGGED THE REFEREE OUT OF THE RING! WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING…WAIT…ARE THEY…
Hart: THEY’RE CASPIAN’S MEN! I DON’T BELIEVE IT! CASPIAN HAS SENT HIS GOONS HALFWAY ROUND THE WORLD TO ENSURE THAT THE BELT STAYS WITH SCOTTY ADAMS!! BUT WHY?!
Shaw: Isn’t it obvious? Caspian doesn’t wanna have to deal with Monolith to get that title, not when he can prey on a weakened Scotty Adams! Brilliant tactics! Absolutely brilliant!
Hart: Well Monolith certainly isn’t happy, three men in suits have entered the ring and are sporting batons, don’t tell me this is gonna end on a disqualification!
Shaw: They have to get a hit in first! Monolith charges at one guy and hurls him into the other two! They’re all sent flying out of the ring as Monolith threatens them from the ropes. WAIT!!
Hart: SCOTTY ADAMS WITH A ROLL-UP!! SCHOOLBOY! SCHOOLBOY!!!
Ref: ONNNNE! TWWWWOOOO!!!! THHHHRRRRREEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Shaw: HE DID IT! OH MY GOD HE DID IT! SCOTTY ADAMS HAS PINNED MONOLITH TO RETAIN HIS TITLE! REGARDLESS OF THE INTERFERENCE FROM CASPIAN’S MEN, SCOTTY STILL RECOVERED FROM THAT WICKED STONE’S THROW OFF THE TOP AND HAD ENOUGH LEFT IN THE TANK TO SCORE A QUICK PINFALL VICTORY!
Hart: It could be argued that Monolith had the match won, but Scotty Adams did what he does best: he analysed the situation he was in and conjured up a solution seemingly out of thin air!
Julianna DeMarco: Here is your winner…and STILLLL THE OWA SPARTAN CHAMPION…..”THE SILVER BULLET” SCOTTY AAAADDDDDAAAAMMMMMSSSSSS!!!!!
(‘Red Hour’ by Stria fills the Osaka dome, but Scotty Adams lies motionless in the ring, the exhaustion of the war he’s been through taking full effect. The EMTs from earlier come back down to check up on him.)
EMT 1: Scotty? Scotty? Okay we need to get him to a hospital right away.
Hart: Scotty Adams is being loaded onto a stretcher while Monolith stands stone faced in the center of the ring. He was within touching distance of becoming champion on multiple occasions tonight and I’m sure that this isn’t the last we’ve seen of him in the title picture.
Shaw: Well as Scotty is wheeled to the back and sent to the hospital, you’ve gotta consider if he’s taking things too far now. He will take on all comers and it could cost him so much more than just his career at this point. He has a lot to live for and I don’t think he wants to spend the rest of his days in a wheelchair.
Hart: Scotty Adams is still your Spartan Champion, ladies and gentlemen, but he was unable to leave this beautiful building under his own power, we just hope that he is alright. Congratulations to “The Silver Bullet,” here’s hoping there’s nothing seriously wrong with him.
(The camera turns away from the action to where a commercial for Boiling Point plays on the screen until the show comes back to a view of the titantron for the next match.)
(A video package plays highlighting the GREED vs André Virgo match from Supremacy before cutting to Miltiades earning the Number One Contenders spot. The camera pans back to ringside.)
(“King’s Dead” by Kendrick Lamar hits to a chorus of boos from around the Osaka Dome as Miltiades steps out from behind the curtain, flanked by GREED and Jaywalker, before the three walk down to the ring.)
Stephens: Miltiades is one of the many individuals participating tonight that are a part of BOTH SSW and OWA! In just a few short weeks, Miltiades will be competing for the Omega Heavyweight Championship - and to me, the fact that he can compete for a World Title in OWA while fighting Virgo for the Junior Heavyweight Championship here in SSW just shows how prestigious each and every belt is in this company! Miltiades has taken the side of GREED and Jaywalker in this Tres Comas Club conflict, and tonight he aims to do what GREED couldn’t - and claim the SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship for his side of the TCC!
(“Screwed” by Janelle Monáe hits to a huge pop from the crowd as André Virgo makes his way down the ramp dancing and moving his shoulders to his music while he high-fives the fans on his way to the ring. Once in the ring he stands in the middle and bows to the crowd before raising the SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship up high to another ovation from the crowd.)
Wilson: André Virgo has already proven himself as an unworthy champion, and to get to the point - it really is time for Miltiades to take that title away from this pathetic cretin and put him away for good. Think about it. What COULD Virgo keep? Not his leadership, not his manager, and after tonight, DEFINITELY not his Junior Heavyweight Championship. I for one, am ready for our new TCC overlords.
(The lights in the arena dim. A spotlight shines down on Saya Takada.)
Saya Takada: The following contest is scheduled for one fall… AND IT IS FOR THE SSW JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!!!
(The crowd pops before the camera cuts to Miltiades, causing a rumble of boos to emanate from around the arena.)
Saya Takada: Introducing first, from Rome, weighing in at 235 pounds, the challenger… MILTIADES!!!!!!
(GREED raises Miltiades arm to even more boos, before the camera cuts to André Virgo.)
Saya Takada: And his opponent, from Motown, weighing in at 230 pounds… HE IS THE SSW JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!... ---
(Virgo takes the microphone from Saya Takada and pauses as the entire crowd rises to their feet.)
Virgo/Crowd: ANDRÉ… VIR… GO!!!!!!!
(The crowd pops huge before Virgo passes the championship to the referee. Both competitors meet in the center of the ring.)
(DING! DING! DING!)
Stephens: This contest more than a month in the making is now underway! Virgo and Miltiades go straight for the collar and elbow tie up, both men struggling to take an advantage against the other! Both men full of heart and passion, competing in the springtime of their youth for one of the most prestigious championships in the world! Miltiades tries to shove Virgo back into the corner but Virgo holds his ground, shoving back as hard as he can… MILTIADES BREAKS HIS HOLD AND STEPS BACK BEFORE FIRING OFF WITH AN ELBOW!!! VIRGO DUCKS IT AND GOES FOR THE DOUBLE LEGGED TAKEDOWN PUTTING MILTIADES ON HIS BACK ON THE MAT!!!! THE MATCH NOW TURNS INTO A SCUFFLE ON THE MAT!!!!!
Wilson: I’D CALL IT MORE THAN A SCUFFLE!!!! BOTH MEN ROLL EACH OTHER OVER AND OVER TRYING TO GET ON TOP TO TAKE THE ADVANTAGE BUT ULTIMATELY ALL THEY CAN DO IS THROW HANDS AT THE OTHER TRYING TO GET ANYTHING TO LAND!!!! Miltiades is finally able to roll over to where he can rush back up to his feet but Virgo is quick to join him, the brawl now taking place back on their feet! Virgo is able to quickly dodge every strong shot Miltiades throws his way -- WAIT!!!! MILTIADES JUST FEIGNED A LEFT JAB CAUSING VIRGO TO SWING RIGHT… WHERE MILTIADES’ RIGHT FIST AWAITS HIS FACE!!!! THAT WASN’T A WRESTLING MOVE, THAT WAS JUST A STRAIGHT UP PUNCH TO THE MOUTH AND VIRGO IS FEELING IT AS HE GETS KNOCKED RIGHT DOWN TO HIS ASS!!!!
Stephens: Miltiades swings around Virgo now -- WHO QUITE LITERALLY SPINS BACK UP TO HIS FEET!!!! MILTIADES GOES FOR THE BIG BOOT -- VIRGO BLOCKS IT!!!! ROLLING ELBOW!!!! MILTIADES GETS SENT INTO THE ROPES BUT COMES BACK FAST WITH A HIGH KNEE!!!! BOTH MEN ARE STUNNED JUST MOMENTARILY AND MILTIADES AGAIN THROWS THE FIRST SHOT WITH AN ELBOW BUT VIRGO BLOCKS IT WITH HIS ARMS -- AND STEPS UP WITH THE KNEE TO MILTIADES’ GUT!!!! VIRGO GOES FOR THE ROPES -- NO!!! MILTIADES GRABS THE BACK SEAM OF HIS PANTS AND PULLS HIM BACK -- VIRGO SPINS OUT OF IT AND ROCKS MILTIADES WITH A BIG OPEN HAND SLAP!!!!!
Wilson: VIRGO GOES FOR ANOTHER ONE AND IT LANDS FLAT ACROSS MILTIADES’ FACE!!!! Virgo grabs him by the arm now and whips him across the ring… Miltiades speeds up on the return… BUT VIRGO RUNS RIGHT PAST HIM THE OTHER WAY!!!! MILTIADES QUICKLY TURNS AND GOES FOR THE DROPKICK BUT VIRGO HAD HUNG ONTO THE ROPES, BAITING MILTIADES INTO THE DROPKICK!!!! MILTIADES CRASHES AND PUSHES HIMSELF BACK UP -- VIRGO RUNS UP WITH A DROPKICK OF HIS OWN SENDING MILTIADES BACK A FEW STEPS BUT MILTIADES WAS ABLE TO WISELY FALL INTO THE SECOND ROPE, COMING BACK FAST… SHINING -- NO!!!! VIRGO CATCHES HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS!!!!
Stephens: WAIT!!! MILTIADES IS THROWING ELBOWS UNTIL VIRGO HAS NO OTHER CHOICE TO LET HIM BACK DOWN, AND MILTIADES FOLLOWS UP WITH ANOTHER ELBOW SMASH TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD!!!! Virgo falls forward but again Miltiades uses the back of his tights to keep the Champion on his feet… AND MILTIADES -- AGAIN!!! VIRGO WITH THE COUNTER, SPINNING AROUND BEFORE THROWING A WILD LARIAT!!!! MILTIADES HOWEVER CATCHES THE ARM AND TWISTS VIRGO AROUND INTO A VICIOUS DISCUS PUNCH!!!! VIRGO GETS HIS LIGHTS KNOCKED THE FUCK OUT AND THE CHAMPION FALLS TO HIS KNEES, BUT MILTIADES SCOOPS HIM RIGHT BACK UP!!!! PUMP HANDLE DOUBLE KNEE GUTBUSTER!!!! THE CHAMPION GETS SENT A GOOD FIVE FEET INTO THE AIR AFTER HAVING HIS ABDOMEN DRIVEN INTO BY THE SHARP KNEES OF AUGUSTUS BEFORE CRASHING TO THE MAT, AND MILTIADES HOOKS BOTH LEGS FOR THE COVER!!!!
Referee: ONE!!!!!!!.... TWO!!!!!!!!.....
Wilson: VIRGO KICKS OUT!!!! As much as I’d love to see everything ripped from this imposter’s hands, I’d never said it would be easy, even for someone like Miltiades. Augustus turns to his comrades at ringside, GREED and Jaywalker shouting advice and strategy and Miltiades nods before turning back to Virgo who struggles to push himself up to his knees… MILTIADES RUNS FORWARD WITH THE SHINING WIZARD -- VIRGO MANAGES TO PUSH HIMSELF OUT OF THE WAY!!!! MILTIADES HOWEVER QUICKLY CATCHES HIS FOOTING RIGHT AS VIRGO POWERS HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET… AND HERE COMES MILTIADES OFF OF THE SPRINGBOARD!!!!... MILTIADES CATCHES VIRGO AROUND THE NECK AND BRINGS HIM BACK DOWN TO THE MAT, SPIKING HIS HEAD AGAINST THE CANVAS WITH THE SPRINGBOARD DDT!!!!! MILTIADES ROLLS BACK UP TO HIS FEET TAKING IN THE CROWD’S DISPLEASURE AS HE STANDS OVER THE LAID OUT BELOVED ANDRÉ VIRGO!!!!!
Stephens: Miltiades grabs Virgo by the hair now, yanking him up to his knees -- RIGHT BEFORE NAILING HIM HARD ACROSS THE FACE WITH AN OPEN HAND SLAP!!!! Miltiades now pulls Virgo up all the way to his feet, grabbing him by the wrist… AND MILTIADES UNRAVELS VIRGO INTO THE RIPCORD AND JUMPS UP WITH THE KNEE -- NO!!! VIRGO HOOKS MILTIADES BY THE KNEE AND… HOLY HELL LOOK AT THAT POWER!!!! VIRGO IS USING JUST ONE ARM TO LIFT MILTIADES INTO A POSITION WHERE HE CAN SCOOP HIM UP ALL THE WAY TO HIS SHOULDERS!!!! VIRGO WASTES NO TIME AT ALL PUTTING MILTIADES ON THE MAT WITH THE ROLLING DEATH VALLEY DRIVER, FINDING HIMSELF ON HIS FEET AND THROWING HIS HANDS UP TO A HUUUUGE OVATION FROM THIS CAPACITY CROWD!!!!!
Wilson: Miltiades starts to get up to his feet now -- BUT IS QUICKLY SENT STUMBLING BACK INTO A CORNER COURTESY OF A DROPKICK FROM VIRGO!!! MILTIADES FINDS HIMSELF BUT OH!!!! VIRGO CHARGES ACROSS THE RING… WITH A STIFF SHOULDER BLOCK INTO MILTIADES!!!! VIRGO BEGINS THE SHOULDER THRUSTS IN THE CORNER NOW, SOFTENING UP THE TORSO OF MILTIADES BEFORE STANDING UP ON THE SECOND ROPE OVER A DAZED MILTIADES, THROWING HIS ARMS UP FOR THE CROWD ONCE AGAIN --- HA!!!! THE SHOWBOATING WASN’T SO SMART THIS TIME WAS IT, DUMBASS? MILTIADES HAS VIRGO IN POWERBOMB POSITION NOW, RUNNING TOWARDS THE CENTER OF THE RING!!!!...
Stephens: YES!!!! VIRGO SLIDES OFF OF MILTIADES’ SHOULDERS AND FINDS HIMSELF ON HIS FEET!!!! MILTIADES TURNS AROUND -- KNIFE EDGE CHOP FROM VIRGO!!!! AND ANOTHER!!!! AND ONE MORE!!!! VIRGO LAYS INTO THE CHEST OF MILTIADES WITH CHOP AFTER CHOP AFTER CHOP UNTIL AUGUSTUS’ CHEST IS GASHED AND WELTED!!!! VIRGO TAKES A STEP BACK AND FIRES WITH AN EXTRA STIFF CHOP -- NO!!!! MILTIADES SAW IT COMING AND GRABS VIRGO BY THE ARM BEFORE KICKING HIM INTO THE ROPES -- WAIT!!! VIRGO USES THE MOMENTUM TO HIS ADVANTAGE AND PULLS UP ON AN UNSUSPECTING MILTIADES WITH THE JUMPING LARIAT!!!! THE DEAD END!!!! VIRGO TAKES MILTIADES DOWN AND ROLLS THROUGH FOR THE COVER!!!!
Referee: ONE!!!!!!!.... TWO!!!!!!!!.....
Wilson: VIRGO’S DREAMS OF RETAINING HIS CHAMPIONSHIP ARE DASHED FOR NOW AS MILTIADES THROWS HIS ARM UP TO BREAK THE PIN!!!! VIRGO KNOWS TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE HERE AS HE PICKS MILTIADES RIGHT UP, WHIPPING HIM HARD INTO THE CORNER!!!! VIRGO GOES AFTER MILTIADES WITH THE DEAD END ONCE AGAIN!!!!... IT CONNECTS -- WAIT!!! WAIT!!!! OH MY GOD!!!! MILTIADES SPRINGS OUT OF THE CORNER AND FINDS VIRGO IN MIDAIR, POPPING HIM UP EVEN HIGHER INTO THE AIR… AND VIRGO FALLS INTO AUGUSTUS’ GUILLOTINE!!!! THE VERY EUROPEAN UPPERCUT!!!! VIRGO FELL NEARLY EIGHT FEET INTO THE UPROOT AND MILTIADES FALLS DOWN TO HIS KNEES, TAKING A SECOND TO RECOVER AFTER NEARLY DECAPITATING THE JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION HERE!!!!
Stephens: Virgo hasn’t moved an inch since taking that Uproot, and Miltiades stands up, grinning at GREED and Jaywalker who continue to egg him on as he waits from the corner, preparing for his ace in the hole here… Virgo starts to slowly stir… AND MILTIADES COMES OUT OF THE CORNER!!!! CURBSTOMP!!! NERO’S LAST --- HOW?!!!! VIRGO WAS PLAYING POSSUM!!!!! VIRGO HOOKS MILTADIES’ LEG AS HE COMES DOWN WITH NERO’S LAST CALL AND DROPS HIM TO THE MAT BEFORE ROLLING OVER ON TOP OF HIM FOR THE PIN!!!!!!
Referee: ONE!!!!!!!.... TWO!!!!!!!!..... THREE!!!!!!!!!!.....
Wilson: MILTIADES WAS JUST BARELY ABLE TO KICK OUT IN THE NICK OF TIME!!!! MILTIADES GRABS THE SECOND ROPE TRYING TO PULL HIMSELF UP AS VIRGO SLOWLY PICKS HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET… MILTIADES TURNS --- SUPERKICK!!!! VIRGO NAILS HIM IN THE JAW WITH THE SUPERKICK!!!! VIRGO PULLS MILTIADES IN NOW, TRYING TO PICK HIMSELF UP TO HIS SHOULDERS AGAIN -- MILTIADES HOWEVER THROWS A QUICK ELBOW AT VIRGO TO CREATE SOME SEPARATION BEFORE FALLING INTO THE ROPES WHERE GREED PULLS HIM OUT OF THE RING!!!! GREED stands in front of Jaywalker as he tends to Miltiades, grabbing a bottle of the Holy Water known as Powerade from a fan at ringside, spraying that jamba juice all over the ankle of Miltiades ---
Stephens: HOOOOLY SHIT!!!! VIRGO JUST WENT FLYING OVER THE TOP ROPE WITH THE TOPE CON HILO!!!!! VIRGO CRASHES INTO GREED SENDING HIM INTO JAYWALKER, BOTH MEN FALLING TO THE FLOOR!!!! VIRGO USES THE STEEL STEPS TO PULL HIMSELF UP --- MILTIADES IS ON THE BARRICADE!!!! HE FLIES!!!! HIGH KNEE TO THE SIDE OF VIRGO’S HEAD SENDING IT BOUNCING OFF OF THE STEEL POST, AND MILTIADES GRABS VIRGO BEFORE ROLLING HIM INTO THE RING!!!! VIRGO SACRIFICED HIS OWN BODY TO TRY TO TAKE OUT MILTIADES BUT THE COLLATERAL DAMAGE WASN’T WORTH IT AT THE END!!!! MILTIADES HAS A NEAR UNCONSCIOUS ANDRE VIRGO IN HIS SIGHTS… MILTIADES IS GOING TO THE TOP ROPE!!!!!
Wilson: POWERADE BE CURING ANKLES AND SENDING MOTHAFUCKAS TO THE SKIES!!!! LOOK AT MILTIADES PERCHED ON THE TOP ROPE!!!!!... AND HE FLIES!!!! THE PHOENIX SPLASH!!!!!! NO!!! NO!!! NO!!!! VIRGO GETS HIS KNEES UP AND MILTIADES CRASHES HARD!!!!! VIRGO ROLLS OVER TOWARDS THE ROPES, CRAWLING SLOWLY UNTIL HE REACHES THE SECOND ROPE TO PULL HIMSELF UP!!!! MILTIADES IS A WRITHING MESS ON THE GROUND BUT SLOWLY GETS UP TO HIS KNEES --- SUPERKICK!!!!!!! VIRGO WITH THE SUPERKICK!!!!!!!

Stephens: STILL, VIRGO REFUSES TO GIVE UP!!!!! VIRGO JUMPS UP TO THE TOP ROPE --- AND GREED SCATTERS --- LEAVING A CLEAR LINE OPEN AT MILTIADES WHO IS FINALLY UP ON HIS FEET AGAINST THE BARRICADE!!!!! VIRGO FLIES FROM THE TOP ROPE!!!!! THE DEAD END!!!! JUMPING LARIAT FROM THE TOP ROPE TO THE BARRICADE, SENDING MILTIADES INTO THE CROWD!!!! GREED COMES BACK AFTER VIRGO WHO THROWS UP THE SUPERKICK, DROPPING THE LEADER OF THE TRES COMAS CLUB TO THE FLOOR!!!! VIRGO POINTS AT JAYWALKER AND ROLLS BACK INTO THE RING, I THINK AT THIS POINT AFTER ALL THE BULLSHIT THAT TCC HAS PULLED, VIRGO HAS NO PROBLEM TAKING THE COUNT-OUT WIN HERE!!!!!
Referee: ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SEVEN!
Wilson: MILTIADES FINALLY COMES BACK OVER THE BARRICADE AT THE COUNT OF SEVEN, JAYWALKER HELPING HIM UP AND ROLLING HIM BACK INTO THE RING --- VIRGO RUNS AT HIM BUT MILTIADES ROLLS BACK OUT TO THE APRON!!!! VIRGO CRASHES INTO THE ROPES AND MILTIADES STEPS UP FOR THE ROLLING ENZUIGURI!!!! VIRGO IS STUNNED IN THE CENTER OF THE RING AND MILTIADES FLIES OVER!!!! LIONSAULT TO THE STANDING VIRGO TAKING BOTH MEN DOWN!!!!! MILTIADES PICKS VIRGO BACK UP AND STARTS FIRING OFF WITH PUNCHES AND ELBOWS, LANDING WHATEVER HE CAN AS BOTH MEN STAND ON THEIR LAST LEGS!!!!

VIRGO ROLLS ON TOP OF MILTIADES AND HOOKS THE LEG!!!!!!
Referee: ONE!!!!!!!.... TWO!!!!!!!!..... THREE!!!!!!!!!!.....
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Screwed” hits to an ear-shattering pop from the crowd as the referee helps Virgo back up to his feet, handing him the Junior Heavyweight Championship. Virgo rolls out of the ring and walks up the ramp, past a knocked down GREED.)
Takada: HERE IS YOUR WINNER BY WAY OF PINFALL… AND STILL YOUR SSW JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION!!!!... ANDRÉ VIRGO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Stephens: HE DID IT!!!! HE DID IT!!!! TOMAZEYA BE DAMNED, ANDRÉ VIRGO JUST PROVED WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT --
Wilson: WITHOUT A SHADOW OF A DOUBT?!!! HE HAD TO USE GREED AS A FOREIGN OBJECT AT THE END THERE!!!! VIRGO IS STILL A DIRTY CHEATER!!!!
Stephens: WILL YOU STOP?! I’ll give Miltiades his due, the convolution from the TCC interference may have ended up hurting him, but he showed no inferiority against the champion here. If they go at it again, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Miltiades take the gold. But tonight, Virgo proved that HE IS A FIGHTING CHAMPION! Congratulations to ANDRÉ… VIR… GO!!!!!
(The camera pans back to GREED and Jaywalker helping Miltiades up to his feet as they stare down a celebrating Andre Virgo on the ramp. Virgo holds the championship up in the air one last time before he walks backstage with GREED and Jaywalker starting to help carry Miltiades backstage, who shoves them away as he walks away by himself towards the backstage without him, bitter about not being able to leave with the SSW Junior Heavyweight Championship. GREED and Jaywalker follow behind him to make sure he’s alright as the ring has been cleared with Julianne DeMarco replacing Saya Takada for the next match to come.)
Julianna DeMarco: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is for the OWA Bloodline Tag Team Championships!
(The Osaka Dome is engulfed in darkness as a video appears on the titantron. It is footage of the bombs being dropped on Nagasaki and Hiroshima. There is an audible gasp from the crowd, who are too shocked and upset to bring themselves to boo.)
(After an uncomfortably long period of silence, ‘Masters of War’ by Bob Dylan plays through the PA system, and Kenny and Nate appear at the top of the entrance ramp. Kenny is dressed in a US marine uniform that is accurate to that worn by US soldiers during the siege of Osaka. Nate is wearing a traditional WWII British army uniform with his moustache waxed to resemble Kitchener, he looks dead into the camera and points directly at it, while mouthing the words, “I want you!”)
Juliana DeMarco: Introducing first, representing the Wolvesden, they are the OWA Tag Team Champions….NAAAAAAATEEEEEEEEEEEEEE CAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE…...AND…..KEEEENNNNNNYYYYYYYYYYYY DRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!
(Over Nate’s left shoulder is his tag title, and in his right hand is a Japanese flag that he is waving on a pole. Kenny Drake then produces a burning torch and sets the flag alight. They both smile in a sick, twisted glee as they match to the ring, Nate waving the flaming flag as they go. The camera cuts to the crowd, where multiple audience members are seen openly weeping, some fans attempt to jump the barricade and attack the team, but are promptly stopped by security.)
(Nate and Kenny enter the ring, the flag burned to cinders at this point. They point to the entrance ramp, where pyro goes off with the resulting smoke resembling a mushroom cloud as the music fades out and they are showered with infuriated boos and insults.)
Lance Hart: A wildly disrespectful entrance by the Wolvesden! Are they trying to get themselves killed! Well I suppose I should not have expected anything tasteful coming from The Wolvesden given their love for all things shocking. They liking making people angry, they LIVE for the uncomfortable! It doesn’t help that they’re certainly in bad moods themselves with how this match is set up! No other Wolvesden members are allowed at ringside! It’s just the two highest in rank having to defend themselves here! Though they own a victory over their opponents and beat them to win the titles, that previous encounter was won mainly due to the Sugar Girls previously running the Gauntlet and fighting the two largest men in that match! We’ll see how they do against a FRESH version of the team!
Morgan Shaw: Well speaking of them broads, they should be coming out right now!
(“I Want Candy” by Aaron Carter blasts through the speakers as Savannah Sunshine and Jessica Rose emerge from the back. They look incredibly determined and happy as they walk down the ring, keeping their sights focused on their opponents. Savannah points straight at Kenny Drake, the man who planted her with the Killing Joke at Game Over while Jessica Rose does a motion around her waist to signify them winning the tag titles. Their focus breaks momentarily as they engage with the fans.)
Juliana DeMarco: And their opponents, they are the team of Savannah Sunshine and Jessica Rose……..THE SUGAR GIRLS -
Lance Hart: WHAT THE?! The Wolvesden run down and start to attack the Sugar Girls as they’re walking around the ring, high-fiving their fans! The Girls didn’t notice and...BAM! This disgusting assault from the Wolvesden begins with no hesitation; these guys are absolutely sick! Uh oh! Kenny is quick to send Jessica straight into the barricade with force, ouch! Just look at her cringe in pain! Meanwhile Nate is just as relentless, even going as far to one up his partner by suplexing Savannah back first on the barricade! This is the Wolvesden, picking up the advantage before the match starts!
Morgan Shaw: These guys are being smart and using strategy. You should NEVER have your back turned in this business, especially when you’re behind a cult….OH MY GOD! Kenny Drake finishes his assault on Jessica Rose by sending her FACE first into the steel ring post! Jessica hit that and goes spinning around in a daze before falling over! She’s gotta be out cold at this point. Now Nate Cage grabs Savannah, binding her arms back and allowing Kenny to start punching her repeatedly in the stomach! A slap to the face for good measure! These guys are sick geniuses, but it’s obvious that they want to ensure their victory tonight! Nate and Kenny throw Savannah into the ring as the ref checks up on Savannah and Jessica Rose. Are they going to be able to do this match? Chet is looking concerned asking if either of them can step and start this contest off.....And Savannah says yes! Favoring her stomach and all! Rose is still on the outside recovering, but Sunshine wants this match to begin!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Lance Hart: The Wolveden’s opponent slides into the ring, obviously hurt and our tag champs begin immediately with Nate Cage continuing this disgusting assault on Savannah Sunshine from the Sugar Girls! He runs right away towards her direction, picking her up in waistlock and then hitting her with another vicious German suplex! Nate released it too, allowing for her to back to go skidding across the canvas! Savannah is holding her spine and that just paints a large target right on her! Nate doesn’t hesitate to stomp on Savannah’s back again and again, causing her to yell in agony! This guy is enjoying this too much; he’s trying to capitalize on their assault with every ounce of his being!
Morgan Shaw: Nate grabs Savannah by the hair, shouting insults into her ear before he lariats her towards Kenny Drake’s direction and she hits the back of the top turnbuckle! Chet Kensington recognizes that this calls for a break and stops Nate as he’s approaching Sunshine, but that was a bad idea! Kenny is now taking advantage of this and punching Savannah right in the head several times! He’s got her in a camel clutch variat of sort, wrapping his hands around her jaw as he pulls back and pins her against the turnbuckle! Drake stops as the ref turns around, putting his hands up in the air as if he’s done nothing and now Cage is able to pick up where Kenny left off. Cage lifts Savannah to the top turnbuckle...what the hell?
Lance Hart: Cage is trying to make quick work of Sunshine! HE’S GONNA GO FOR THE DEATH SENTENCE ALREADY- AND IT’S OVER- NO! SAVANNAH STARTS FIGHTING BACK, SHE STARTS ELBOWING NATE’S FACE, CAUSING HIM TO JUMP OFF THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! SUNSHINE KICKS AN ANGRY KENNY DRAKE TO THE OUTSIDE AND SUNSHINE GOES FOR A BEAUTIFUL DIVING CROSSBODY TO NATE. What a hell of a comeback from Sunshine! She goes for a pin, trying to not take this opportunity for granted at all!
Referee: OOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!.......TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Morgan Shaw: Cage with the kick out! Savannah almost leaves with the upset, but the Wolvesden member doesn’t quit that quickly. Sunshine looks towards her side for a possible tag and sees that Jessica is still recovering in the outside area. I think she just realized that she has to handle this by herself for the mean time, which isn’t great when you have two opponents! Sunshine doesn’t waste any more time! Basement dropkick to the side of Cage’s head to keep him grounded! Cage rolls over! He tries to respond to that with a wild swing from below but Savannah dodges it and then hits a KNEE DROP onto Cage’s arm! She keeps her knee on Cage’s arm, holding him down as she then presses his head down and batters him with forearm smashes! She finally eases her knee off of Cage’s arm only to grab it right up with her hands! She puts a beaten up Nate Cage into a crossface!
Lance Hart: Sunshine making the smart choice here and tries to wear down Cage with one of her key submissions, but one that’ll work for someone bigger! Nate starts to feel the pain and tries to drag both of them towards the bottom rope! Savannah is determined to keep Cage in the hold, but Cage’s getting closer to the bottom rope second by second. He’s dragging as if his life depends on this very moment! Sunshine tightens her hold, sending Nate’s neck into a very bent shape! He’s yelling about the pain, it must be tingling all over his body! Is he gonna make it?....
Morgan Shaw: NO! Savannah lets go of the hold and DRAGS him back to the middle of the ring, LEAPING FOR SOME SERIOUS HANGTIME WITH AN ELBOW DROP TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD before she goes and reapplies the hold! HOW!? Savannah put so much energy into that surely but it paid off! The look on Nate’s face says it all! “COME ON!?” Nate is back at square one and I’m not sure how long he can tolerate the immense amount of pain. It looks like the ex-military member is about to submit to Savannah’s determined hold. He’s gonna do it, oh my God! Nate’s hand starts to shake and it’s over- NEVERMIND! Kenny Drake intervenes and breaks the hold by stomping on Savannah’s back! That injured back was opened up! Kenny then grabs her and Irish whips her with all of his power, sending her flipping over the top rope. The ref gets in Kenny’s face about breaking the hold, but Kenny doesn’t realize that Sunshine latched on one of the ropes!
Lance Hart: Savannah Sunshine is there chilling on the apron, gripping the ropes ready for take off! The referee sees what’s going on and gets out of the way! SAVANNAH WITH A SPRINGBOARD STUNNER TO KENNY DRAKE! KENNY IS DOWN! Savannah is pulling out all the stops tonight to make sure her team gets the win. She hops over the top rope for another high-risk maneuver, looking at Nate Cage as he recovers. Sunshine with another amaz- OOO MAN! POWERBOMB OUT OF NOWHERE! CAGE SENDS SUNSHINE BACK FIRST INTO THE RING. He tags in Kenny and he continues where Cage left off. He picks Savannah back up for the second time and begins to run towards the top turnbuckle...BUCKLE BOMB! Savannah is feeling to pain for sure, but she doesn’t have too much time to react -ANOTHER BUCKLE BOMB FROM DRAKE! THIS IS SICK, I’M TELLING YOU!
Morgan Shaw: Drake grabs Savannah another time and finishes this quartet of moves with a..PILEDRIVER! MY GOD THIS HAS TO BE OVER AT THIS POINT. Drake goes for the pin!
Referee: OOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!.......TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!.........THREEEEE-
Lance Hart: SAVANNAH KICKS OUT! HOW THE HELL DID SHE DO THAT?! SHE STILL HAS A BIT OF HEART IN HER, MORGAN. LOOK, JESSICA ROSE HAS FINALLY RECOVERED FROM THE ASSAULT, SHE’S CHEERING ON SAVANNAH! JESSICA’S FACE IS BLOODIED FROM THE COLLISION WITH THE POST BUT SHE’S STILL KEEPING UP A SUPPORTIVE ATTITUDE FOR HER PARTNER!
Morgan Shaw: Both of these girls have heart I can’t deny it, but heart doesn’t get you anywhere; Savannah’s gotta manage to get to her partner ASAP! Kenny drags her towards his side, keeping her away from Jessica! He begins to circle around Savannah as she starts to gain composure and hits Repent! The superkick to the knee, a hard slap and then a double- NO!
Lance Hart: Somehow, Savannah rolls out of the way, crawling towards Jessica’s general direction. Kenny makes sure she doesn’t get any further by grabbing her by the foot that he just superkicked! Savannah’s still trying to hop her way to her partner, helplessly trying to change the current of the match. As this happens Nate Cage goes ahead and makes his way to Jessica Rose, trying to make sure there’s no possible way for her to get involved! Jessica Rose anticipates it though! She avoids his sweep of the leg and then falls on top of him with a seated senton! Nate Cage is quick to get up after that and rushes for a clothesline but Jessica ducks it and hits a headscissors takeover! Nate Cage is starting to retreat but Jessica has something to prove! She JUMPS THROUGH THE SPACE BETWEEN THE TURNBUCKLES AND COMES OUT THE OTHER END FOR A TORNADO DDT! Nate Cage gets spiked on his head and gets sent back to his side of the ring crawling! Now satisfied Jessica hops back onto her apron begging to get a tag!
Morgan Shaw: She might have to wait a while! Kenny managed to pull Savannah back in to his side and ended going for a half boston crab on the hurt leg! Kenny Drake is applying all sorts of pressure! This not only works over the limb but it bends her back! Savannah is looking around the ring trying to figure out the distance! She might have to tap! Chet Kensington is urging her to! But look at Savannah! She shakes her head and continues to push forward, somehow, some way! She will not say die! Savannah’s yelling in pain as Kenny begins to tighten the hold and punches her knee! She starts to use sharp elbows on Kenny’s face, more specifically his eye to get him to let go of the hold! It seems to be working and Kenny lets go of the hold! They’re both in the middle of the ring. Kenny is somewhat dazed and Savannah gets on both her legs and limps towards Jessica. Can she make it? Kenny’s after her now!
Lance Hart: Savannah dives forward; she makes it over to her side! SHE FINALLY MANAGES TO TAGS JESSICA ROSE! JESSICA ROSE IS THE LEGAL WOMAN! SHE SIDE STEPS AN ATTACK FROM KENNY WHILE ON THE APRON AND HITS HIM WITH AN ENZUIGIRI TO THE SIDE OF THE HEAD! She follows it up with a shoulder thrust through the ropes that sends Kenny Drake staggering back! Jessica then walks along the apron, hyping up the crowd with her as she stands herself up on the top rope! SHE GOES IMMEDIATELY AFTER KENNY DRAKE FROM THE TOP ROPE WITH A RIDER KICK, A SPRINGBOARD MISSILE DROPKICK, TAKING HIM OUT FOR THE COUNT! JESSICA KIPS UP AFTERWARD AND NOW HEADS TOWARDS CAGE WHO HAD JUST RETURNED TO HIS CORNER, TAKING HIM OUT WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! SHE’S ON FIRE!
Morgan Shaw: Kenny Drake gets up only to meet a not so nice superkick! Ouch! Jessica walks then leans towards the rope, trying to get Kenny in the position for….THESE HIPS DON’T LIE! The running hip attack connects! Kenny Drake gets up wondering what the hell is going on, this can’t be happening! Jessica Rose spins him around with a hard spinning backfist and then hops on his shoulders! REVERSE HURRICANRANA THAT DROPS HIM ON THE CROWN OF HIS HEAD! Kenny Drake is folded up, rolling over onto his knees as Jessica hits the ropes looking for a follow up! She dashes at him - BUT PULLING FROM THE RESERVES KENNY DRAKE RISES UP AND THROWS HER IN THE AIR WITH THE BACK BODY DROP! WAIT, NO! JESSICA LANDS ON HER FEET BEHIND HIM! NECKBREAKER DELIVERED! Kenny didn’t see it coming and he appears out! But Jessica doesn’t seem to be done yet!
Lance Hart: Jessica has Kenny’s number at this point but she still has to tie this finish up in a nice little bow, a neckbreaker won’t just do it! She’s trying to finish Kenny off with the Wrecking Burst, but what the hell?! NATE CAGE STARTS ATTACKING A HELPLESS SAVANNAH SUNSHINE AT RINGSIDE! Savannah Sunshine had been resting on the outside after doing her part in the match but after getting knocked off the apron it seems like Cage has decided to let ot some of his frustrations on her, mauling her like an animal! He roughly picks her up and he then THROWS HER AGAINST THE STEEL STEPS!
Morgan Shaw: CAGE THREW HER SO HARD THAT THE STEPS LITERALLY FELL OVER! THIS SCENE LOOKS LIKE A CAR WRECK AND HE’S LAUGHING IN AMUSEMENT, WHATTA MAN! Jessica turns around and sees the carnage...She’s not too pleased with this and hops on the top turnbuckle, leaving Drake alone! Rose comes to the rescue with a quick crossbody to the outside, taking out Cage for hurting her best friend!
Lance Hart: Jessica with some extra shots to Cage’s face to boot! Then a kick! Jessica checks on Savannah to see if she’s fine but even while hurt Savannah is urging her to not worry and get the job done! Jessica accepts her wishes, rolls back into the ring and- KENNY DRAKE GRABS ROSE BEFORE SHE CAN EVEN REACT AND HITS THE KILLING JOKE! KENNY DRAKE HAVING HAD A BRIEF MOMENT TO GATHER HIS BEARINGS AS HE KNEW WHEN TO EXPECT HER! DRAKE CAPITALIZES ON NATE CAGE’S DISTRACTION WITH A QUICK AND DIRTY FINISH! HE GOES FOR THE PIN!
Referee: OOOOOOONEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!.......TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!.........THREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Juliana DeMarco: Here are your winners….Kenny Drake and Nate Cage, The WOLVVVVVESSSSSDEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!
(Kenny Drake and Nate Cage celebrate with their tag titles as they slowly walk backwards, laughing at The Sugar Girls’ defeat. Savannah is then seen checking on Jessica, who is still knocked out from Kenny’s Killing Joke.)
Morgan Shaw: WHAT A WIN FROM THE WOLVESDEN! These guys started with domination before the match and ended it the same way! This is why they’re our tag team champs, Lance! They defied all the odds and proved Vernon Tressler wrong! I don’t care how they won; all that matters is that they get the damn job done!
Lance Hart: They cheated before the match and played dirty towards the end of the match, taking advantage of the Sugar Girl’s comradery! The Sugar Girls had this in the bag, but they got cheated out of the opportunity of becoming tag team champs. I will admit, The Wolvesden still are as calculated and sick as ever!
(We see Kenny and Nate celebrating as the camera turns over towards the titantron to go towards the next match.)
(The titantron starts to play highlights of the build that has been created between Masanori Kawada and John Doe. All of this began at the debut of Strong Style Wrestling when John Doe intervened on behalf of Khmaoch Sangkat against Masanori Kawada in the inaugural SSW Heritage Championship Match with his attack. Over numerous assaults from John Doe onto Masanori Kawada, he finally found him unworthy of a match against him. After Kawada finally forced his hand, John Doe has accepted the challenge for this match tonight. Once the video faded from the titantron, the camera turned over towards Saya Takada that stands inside of the ring in preparation for the upcoming match.)
Saya Takada: The following contest scheduled for one fall!!!
(“Forces” by Susumu Hirasawa echoes throughout The Osaka Dome while the crowd lets out cheers as the lights die down with the arrival of Masanori Kawada. He emerges with a smile on his face as the crowd starts to chant his name, dressed in the colors of All Might, making his way to the bottom of the ramp as he looks out to the sea of people in attendance while making his way up the ramp. However, instead of climbing them right away he leans against the barricade and starts to clap to the melody of his music, getting a large chunk of the audience to follow before climbing the steps. As he enters the ring, Kawada flings the tail of his entrance coat viciously with his arm forward and then behind him upon climbing through the second and third rope. He spins around until he reaches the center of the ring, where he raises both his balled fists into the air, all before resting back into his corner.)
Saya Takada: Introducing first… he is from Setagaya, Tokyo, Japan… he weighs in at 247 pounds… representing Shoot Nation… “THE EVERLASTING HERO”... MAASSSAAANNNOOORRRRIIIII KAAWWWAAADDDDAAAAAA!!!
Mark Stephens: I can’t believe that this match is finally happening, Daniel! It has been months that we’ve watched Masanori Kawada have to deal with the anguish that he has been put through at the hands of The Phantom Troupe. After all of this, he finally stands in the ring with the leader of the villainous faction here at Budokai Tenkaichi!
Daniel Wilson: Yeah, he gets the match that he’s been pleading with management to give him, congratulations! Kawada has just signed his death warrant here tonight because if he actually believe that he’s walking out of her tonight with a victory, he should get his head checked before this match even starts. This is where the heroes die, evident from last night when Brian Daniels had his career ENDED at the hands of Stark and The Phantom Troupe. Tonight, Kawada meets a demise that he has handcrafted himself.
(“The Killing Joke” by Captain Murphy plays on the sound system with John Doe walking out in his signature trenchcoat with a smug smile on his face, looking over towards the ring to see his opponent for the night, with the crowd turning into disdain towards himself. He walks down the ramp with confident exuding out of him, climbing his way onto the steel steps to enter the ring, meeting his opponent in the center as tensions start to flare. Scoffing towards the challenge that has been presented to him, Doe leans against the turnbuckle with a nonchalant attitude about him.)
Saya Takada: Introducing his opponent, he is from Parts Unknown… weighing in at 228 pounds… the leader of The Phantom Troupe… “BABA YAGA”... JOOHHHNNNNN DOOOEEEEE!!!
Daniel Wilson: THE GREATEST WRESTLER OF OUR GENERATION HAS ARRIVED TO OSAKA! John Doe, the enigmatic leader of The Phantom Troupe, has been determined to expose the flaws of heroism that has plagued Strong Style Wrestling with the inclusion of the Shoot Nation faction and their morals inside of the faction! For months, The Phantom Troupe has been persistent and almost successful in the mission that they have made for themselves, but these pesky Shoot Nation fighters just won’t stay down!
Mark Stephens: It’s because of the hope that they embody into Strong Style Wrestling when they are able to overcome and persevere against all of the odds that are placed against them with factions like The Phantom Troupe bent on doing whatever they see fit! John Doe is a fiend to the wrestling business that has brought this place to near collapse at points, but tonight is where he has to show the world that his message is validated against the one that he has targeted since SSW’s inception.
(DING! DING! DING!)
Mark Stephens: The bell has been rung for this final battle in this bitter rivalry has been called to start WITH MASANORI KAWADA MAKING A QUICK SPRINT RIGHT TOWARDS JOHN DOE FOR THE GRAPPLE! WAIT! DOE IS HOLDING HIS GROUND TO WHERE HE USES HIS STRENGTH TO KEEP HIMSELF FROM BEING FORCED BY THE HEROIC KAWADA! Both men are at a standstill in the middle of the ring where both men are locked in battle for the lead in this match ONLY FOR DOE TO SHOVE KAWADA BACK WITH AN IMPRESSIVE DISPLAY OF STRENGTH! John Doe looks towards his opponent with a smile as he calls for Kawada to come at him with Masanori not letting the leader of The Phantom Troupe get into his head. Masanori sits up while he jumps up and down with a smile on his face to where he walks around the ring ATTEMPTING TO CATCH DOE BY SURPRISE WITH A RUNNING LARIAT TO RUN RIGHT THROUGH HIM! JUMPING HURRICANRANA! JOHN DOE LEAPS INTO THE AIR AND FLIPS BACK TO DROP THE HERO ONTO THE CANVAS AS HE ROLLS OUT OF THE RING IN RESPONSE TO THIS! John Doe looks down towards his opponent as he stands in the middle of the ring DARTING TOWARDS THE ROPES TO WHERE HE LOOKS TO GO FOR THE SOMERSAULT SENTON ONTO KAWADA!
Daniel Wilson: MASANORI KAWADA SPRINTS IN FOR THE SHOULDER TACKLE RIGHT INTO JOHN DOE TO PUT HIM DOWN ONTO THE CANVAS! I can’t believe that Kawada is actually trying to fight with Doe knowing that he’s destined to fail in this match where he starts to be confident as he starts to brush his shoulder from this! Kawada turns towards the ropes BOUNCING OFF THEM TO RETURN TO DOE AS HE ROLLS RIGHT UNDER THE HERO TO AVOID WHATEVER HE HAD PLANNED FOR HIM! Kawada keeps the pace going to the opposite rope as he rebounds back WITH DOE LEAPING UP IN THE AIR WITH THE LEAPFROG OVER KAWADA! WHAT? KAWADA CATCHES DOE IN MID-AIR FOR WHAT LOOKS TO BE A POWERBOMB TO PUT HIM AWAY! NOPE! DOE FLIPS BEHIND KAWADA TO SPRINT INTO THE ROPES HIMSELF! Kawada starts to turn around BEFORE DOE BLASTS HIM IN THE FACE WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF THE HERO! GET HIM, DOE! LET THEM KNOW THE MIGHT AND STRENGTH OF THE PHANTOM TROUPE HERE TONIGHT! Kawada stumbles around from the impact as he holds his jaw WITH DOE FIRING WITH A SECOND KNEE STRIKE ON HIM BEFORE PULLING HIM IN! He has Kawada by the neck as he squats down USING HIS LEGS TO TRY AND PULL THE ENORMOUS HERO UP IN THE AIR FOR A BRAINBUSTER RIGHT HERE BEFORE OUR EYES! PUT HIM OUT OF HIS MISERY RIGHT HERE, DOE!
Mark Stephens: THERE IS HOPE! MASANORI KAWADA GIVES A BRIGHT LIGHT OF HOPE AS HE STRIKES WITH A MASSIVE PUNCH TO THE WAIST OF JOHN DOE! Doe almost looks like the blow sapped all of his breath before Kawada brings himself up THROWING A MASSIVE EUROPEAN UPPERCUT THAT SENDS THE LEADER OF PHANTOM TROUPE REELING! Masanori keeps the pressure onto Doe as he strikes with a multitude of uppercuts into his jaw RIGHT BEFORE LAUNCHING DOE ACROSS THE RING FOR THE MOMENTUM! Doe rebounds off the ropes as he returns back to Kawada WHO LIFTS HIM UP IN THE AIR FOR A RYDEEN BOMB TO FLATTEN HIM WITH! FALLING DROPKICK! DOE RESPONDS WITH A DROPKICK TO THE CHEST OF KAWADA THAT SENDS HIM DOWN ONTO HIS KNEES! Doe does his best to get back to his feet at a quick pace before Kawada can reach his as he notices that the hero is still on his knees RUSHING IN FOR A RUNNING YAKUZA KICK RIGHT INTO HIS FACE! DOE BLASTS KAWADA IN THE FACE WITH A KICK THAT SENDS HIM LYING ON HIS BACK WITH DOE LOOKING AT HIM WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE! He stands onto his feet to where he strikes with a kick to the ribs to send Kawada towards the outside as he walks towards the center of the ring once more RAISING HIS HAND IN THE AIR BEFORE HE SPRINTS TO THE ROPES TO REBOUND OFF TO RUSH TOWARDS HIS OPPONENT FOR THE SOMERSAULT SENTON TO THE OUTSIDE! HE LANDS IT! DOE MAKES A MASSIVE LEAP OVER THE TOP ROPE AND OUTSIDE ONTO KAWADA AS HE CATCHES HIMSELF ON THE BARRICADE! Doe turns around and lifts Kawada by the head SLAMMING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD INTO THE BARRICADE TO WHERE HE LOOKS RIGHT INTO HIS EYES WHILE THE REFEREE CALLS FOR THEM TO RETURN INSIDE OF THE RING!
John Doe: Do you honestly feel that you’re worthy, Kawada? Worthy to be the one to end me in this company? You’re nothing but a bug… A BUG FOR ME TO SQUASH!
Daniel Wilson: John Doe chuckles at the expense of Masanori Kawada STRIKING HIM IN THE FACE WITH A SLAP BEFORE PULLING HIM UP TO HIS FEET! Doe drives his head right back into the barricade before dragging the Shoot Nation member up to his feet BUT KAWADA BLASTS HIM IN THE CHIN WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT OUT OF NOWHERE THAT SENDS DOE REELING! Kawada grabs Doe by the arm LAUNCHING HIM OVER TOWARDS THE BARRICADE AS HE SHAKES THE FEELING OF HIS HEAD BEING SLAMMED INTO THE BARRICADE! Kawada looks up WITH DOE LEAPING ONTO THE BARRICADE AND FLIPPING BACK WITH A SPRINGBOARD MOONSAULT ONTO KAWADA THAT SENDS HIM DOWN TO THE FLOOR! Doe falls back towards the ring apron as he leans upon it before the referee continues to call for him to get back into the ring, waving him off as he pulls Kawada to his feet, throwing him back into the ring as he follows suit. This glorious leader in John Doe is showing the world what their hope has against him AND IT’S NOTHING! Kawada can do nothing to Doe as you can see the hero try to push himself back to his feet ONLY FOR DOE TO GRAB HIM FROM BEHIND WITH THE WRISTLOCK TO SPIN HIM AROUND FOR THE OPEN-PALM STRIKE IN THE FACE! DOE SLAPS THE TASTE OUT OF HIS MOUTH TO WHERE KAWADA DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES FROM THE IMPACT OF THAT DISRESPECTFUL STRIKE! Doe steps back into the ropes to gain some speed RUSHING IN AS HE STRIKES WITH A PUNT KICK RIGHT INTO THE CHEST OF KAWADA WHILE HE KEEPS UP THE PACE TO THE ROPES BEFORE HE RETURNS TO STRIKE WITH A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! DOE BLASTS HIM IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH THE KNEE STRIKE BEFORE ROLLING HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS FOR THE PIN ATTEMPT! CAN JOHN DOE FINALLY PUT AWAY MASANORI KAWADA AND END THIS RIVALRY BETWEEN THE TWO MEN?
Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!
Mark Stephens: SHOULDER! THE MATCH IS STILL ALIVE WITH THE PASSION OF MASANORI KAWADA ON DISPLAY FOR ALL TO SEE! John Doe slams his hand on the canvas to show how frustrated he was that he couldn’t be able to smother out the heroic spirit of Kawada to where he stands on his feet with a scowl upon his face. He slices his throne and points down towards Kawada to signal the end for him as he drags Kawada up to his feet LIFTING HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS FOR THE FIREMAN’S CARRY! AS MUCH AS I MIGHT DESPISE DOE, I HAVE TO GIVE HIM CREDIT FOR HIS STRENGTH WHERE IT’S DUE BECAUSE HE’S LIFTING KAWADA ON HIS SHOULDERS WITH NOT TOO MUCH TROUBLE! John Doe starts to bring Kawada to the center of the ring LOOKING TO END THIS MATCH RIGHT HERE WITH GOODNIGHT SWEET PRINCE! HE THROWS KAWADA UP IN THE AIR AN-- HE BLOCKED IT! MASANORI CATCHES THE KNEE WITH HIS HAND BEFORE HE SHOVES IT DOWN TO THE GROUND AND SPINS FOR A DISCUS LARIAT TO DROP DOE WHERE HE STANDS! Doe starts to roll around on the floor BUT NOT BEFORE KAWADA GRABS HIM BY THE WAIST TO LIFT HIM UP AND THROW HIM BACK WITH A DEADLIFT GUTWRENCH SUPLEX! THERE YOU GO, KAWADA! SHOW HIM WHAT YOU’RE MADE OF! Kawada rolls through with his arms still wrapped around Doe’s waist as he stands up to his feet HOOKING HIM BY THE NECK AND LEG AS HE SPINS FOR THE ULTRAMAN SUPLEX! SPINNING FISHERMAN’S SUPLEX HAS MADE THE CONNECTION TO THE CANVAS WITH KAWADA HAVING A BIG SWING OF MOMENTUM COMING TOWARDS HIM! Doe is on the ground dazed as he has to be wondering what has happened to all the offense that he has been able to get into this match to wear down the hero with Kawada marching his way over towards the ropes LOOKING TO RUN RIGHT THROUGH DOE WITH THE SPEAR OF JUSTICE RIGHT HERE! Doe starts to push on the canvas as he reaches his feet before he slowly turns around RIGHT WHEN KAWADA RUSHES IN FOR THE SPEAR! YOU CAN DO IT!
Daniel Wilson: BAM! BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! JOHN DOE SUCKERED MASANORI KAWADA INTO THIS STATE WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE! Doe is such a mastermind, a genius in the ring, to be able to manipulate Kawada into falling for his tricks like the heroic idiot he is! Kawada has turned his back and holds his chin from the knee strike BUT THIS GIVES DOE THE PERFECT OPPORTUNITY TO RATTLE HIS SKULL ONCE AGAIN WITH A SPIN KICK TO THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! THAT’S IT! DOE CRACKS HIM WITH THE KICK TO SEND KAWADA DOWN TO HIS HANDS AND KNEES, LIKE THE PATHETIC DOG HE IS, WITH DOE KNOWING WHAT HE MUST DO NOW! John Doe walks towards the ropes and starts to point towards Kawada SCREAMING ABOUT THIS BEING THE END OF THIS MISERABLE JOKE OF A CAREER BEFORE HE SPRINTS IN FOR THE KILLING JOKE! THE BICYCLE PU-- SPEAR! NO WAY! SPEAR OF JUSTICE! THIS CAN’T BE! KAWADA JUST LEAPS OUT OF NOWHERE WITH THE SPEAR TO BE ABLE TO SAVE HIMSELF FROM THE MATCH BEING COMPLETELY OVER RIGHT HERE! DON’T YOU DO IT! HE’S CRAWLING HIS WAY OVER TO PIN THE LEADER OF THE PHANTOM TROUPE! KICK OUT, DOE! KICK OUT!
Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!
Mark Stephens: COME ON! JOHN DOE, SOMEHOW AND SOME WAY, WAS ABLE TO THROW HIS SHOULDER OFF OF THE CANVAS WITH MASANORI KAWADA UNABLE TO KEEP THE MAN WITH NO NAME DOWN! Both men are still down from the match before any life can even be shown from them with both members starting to bring themselves back up to their feet AS THEY BOTH STAND UP AT THE SAME TIME! Doe and Kawada look towards one another WITH DOE SPINNING IN FOR A DISCUS FOREARM STRIKE RIGHT INTO THE FACE OF KAWADA! Kawada reels back from the blow BEFORE HE FIRES A FOREARM SHOT OF HIS OWN! Doe stumbles from the elbow strike as he holds his jaw BUT HE FLIES IN WITH A KNEE STRIKE RIGHT IN THE JAW OF KAWADA! Kawada is fading a bit from the knee he has suffered from BUT NOT BEFORE HE BLASTS DOE ON THE CHIN WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT! Both of these men are battling it out for who will be the one left standing with both men meet each other as they press against each other’s forehead in anger RIGHT WHEN DOE FIRES WITH ANOTHER KNEE TO THE FACE! Kawada stumbles back once more to where he closes his fist and looks towards Doe with all of his anger for him LUNGING TOWARDS HIM WITH A TEXAS SMASH! A MASSIVE RIGHT HOOK IS DRIVEN INTO THE JAW OF JOHN DOE THAT SENDS HIM REELING FROM THE IMPACT OF THE BLOW! THERE YOU GO, KAWADA! FIGHT WITH ALL OF YOUR MIGHT IN THIS MATCH! Doe is stunned from the sheer impact of the blow when Kawada grabs him by the roots of his hair PULLING HIM BETWEEN HIS LEGS AS HE LOOKS OUT TO THE CROWD TO SIGNAL FOR THE TITAN BOMB! Kawada grabs him by the waist to pull him up BUT DOE ISN’T OUT OF IT JUST YET! THE EVERLASTING HERO ISN’T OUT OF THE WOODS YET TO WHERE DOE LIFTS KAWADA OFF OF HIS FEET FOR THE FIREMAN’S CARRY THAT HE HOPES TO LAND GOODNIGHT SWEET PRINCE WITH! THIS CAN’T BE IT! IT CAN’T BE OVER, PLEASE! GOODNIGH-- ELBOW STRIKE TO THE NECK! A SECOND! A THIRD! KAWADA’S SPIRIT WILL NOT DIE AS HE STILL FIGHTS ON IN THIS MATCH! Kawada lands a few more elbows to the neck before he finally drops down to his feet PULLING DOE IN BY THE NECK! HE COULD DO IT! THIS COULD BE IT! K-DYNAMITE! KAWADA LIFTS DOE UP WITH THE FISHERMAN SUPLEX AND DROPS HIM WITH THE EMERALD FLOWSION INTO THE CANVAS! HE HAS DONE IT! KAWADA HAS JUST DROPPED DOE WITH THE K-DYNAMITE AND THIS HAS TO BE IT! KAWADA ROLLS DOE ON HIS SHOULDERS AND HOOKS HIS LEG IN FOR THE PIN!
Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!... THHHRRREEE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
("Forces” by Susumu Hirasawa plays in the background with Masanori Kawada lifting his hands up in celebration to the face that he was able to defeat his longtime rival in Strong Style Wrestling as he collapses to the canvas.)
Saya Takada: Here is your winner… MAASSSAAANNNOOORRRRIIIII KAAWWWAAADDDDAAAAAA!!!
Mark Stephens: HE DID IT, DANIEL! THE MAN ACTUALLY DID IT! MASANORI KAWADA HAS DEFEATED THE GREAT VILLAIN OF PHANTOM TROUPE THAT HAS HAUNTED HIM FOR SO LONG! I’m stunned and left in awe that Masanori Kawada has finally defeated John Doe once and for all! He can finally shed the weight, the burden, and the pain of having that ghost haunt him for so long and move forward in his career here in Strong Style Wrestling!
Daniel Wilson: There’s no way… there’s no possible way… HE CAN’T HAVE BEATEN JOHN DOE! NO ONE BEATS JOHN DOE! This is a travesty that I shall never live down, Mark! NEVER! This man was an angel to this company and now… I don’t know how Strong Style Wrestling shall survive without the perfection that John Doe was amassing here! This is worse than when I heard Toys R’ Us was getting shut down…
(Masanori Kawada stands up and celebrates the fact that he has just put this match behind him between himself and John Doe with Doe pushing himself back up to his feet, stumbling around once he gets to standing, to catch himself onto the top rope. Kawada keeps himself prepared for a fight with Doe walking up towards him, putting his hand on Kawada’s shoulder, right before whispering something in his ear. He pats him on the shoulder and exits the ring, to where he leaves towards the backstage area, leaving The Osaka Dome. Masanori is left stunned from whatever Doe said before he shakes his head and rolls out of the ring, celebrating the fact that he was able to be victorious tonight, as he exits the arena with the ring cleared out from the fighters.)
(Saya Takada returns back into the ring with the microphone in her hand as the camera turns over towards the titantron for the next match to start.)
Saya Takada: The following contest is scheduled for ONE FALL!!!
(The kanji “落雷” (Thunderbolt) appear in luminous yellow up on the tron. “Just Another Hero” by Yuki Hayashi begins to play as a masked Jaydayne Pendragon enters the stage. He removes his mask and races down to the ring.)
Saya Takada: Introducing first, from Westminster, England and weighing in at 220 pounds. He is the inaugural winner of the 2018 Heaven’s Arena Cup… “Red Strife” JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON!!!
Mark Stephens: We are still awaiting word on which title this man is chasing having vanquished the Mad Titan, Gronk, to win the very first Heaven’s Arena Cup. But right now we are not interested in that. We are interested in the fallout of Scott Oasis’ subsequent assault on Pendragon as they go head-to-head tonight. Jaydayne has likened to act to sticking one’s tongue into a plug socket. The meaning is clear: Scott Oasis is in for a painful shock, but not one that he should be very surprised about.
(“Fudge those Orientals” by Yung Chat Ninja (Kidz Bop remix) hits the speakers to Japanese indicators of polite disgust from the crowd. Scott Oasis enters wearing his BOB De Japón hoodie. He jogs nonchalantly down the ramp as some fans are drawn into the straight fire flow and attempt to sing along not knowing what the lyrics mean.)
Saya Takada: And his opponent, from Baltimore, Maryland and weighing in at 270 pounds… He is “The Measuring Stick” and founder of BOB De Japón… SCOTT OASIS!!!
Daniel Wilson: Listen, I know it is not my place to say this right before the match but you have provoked me, Mark Stephens. The only shock we are about to see is Jaydayne’s body going into shock after Scott Oasis drops him on his head and you can quote me on that. Scott is a freak of nature much like Gronk. However, unlike Gronk he is also an intelligent, well accomplished veteran of the game and I cannot see Jaydayne having any answer to that experience advan-
Stephens: OASIS CHEAP SHOTS PENDRAGON BEFORE THE BELL! HE JUST PUSHED THE OFFICIAL ASIDE TO HIT A HUGE KITCHEN SINK BEFORE TOSSING JAYDAYNE INTO THE CORNER AND GETTING TO WORK WITH THOSE HEAVY SHOULDER THRUSTS!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Wilson: Do you see what I mean? The bell rings to Scott Oasis already in the middle of knocking the wind right out of Jaydayne Pendragon’s lungs. This is how you deal with a faster man. Slow him down a bit by shooting straight for that gas tank. Pendragon is left gasping for air as Blue Shoes manages to separate Oasis from him. BUT SCOTT CHARGES BACK IN FOR A CORNER SPLASH! Jaydayne throws himself out of the way as Scott Oasis’ chest bounces off the turnbuckle. And here is Pendragon from behind. KNEES UP FOR THE LUNGBLOWER… BUT OASIS DOESN’T GO DOWN! HE THROWS HIS WEIGHT FORWARD, REPOSITIONING JAYDAYNE UP ON HIS SHOULDERS FOR A TORTURE RACK!!! Do you see that, fans? Aren’t you amazed by how tactfully Scott Oasis manages to apply his great strength? I’m awestru-ugh… Wait a minute… Why is Oasis the one looking pained?
Stephens: MANJI GATAME! Scott isn’t the only one with some tricks up his sleeve as Jaydayne Pendragon applies a variant of the octopus stretch from atop of the Iceman’s shoulders. Scott Oasis shudders as his strength begins to fail him. Pain is shooting through his nerves like discharged static from a lightning bolt. He has not even stepped an inch towards the ropes but somehow Scott Oasis is fighting the compulsion to tap… AND HE’S DONE IT! SCOTT OASIS BREAKS THE HOLD AND DRIVES JAYDAYNE DOWN INTO A SINGLE KNEE NECKBREAKER BEFORE MAKING THE COVER!
Referee: ONE!... TWO!...
Wilson: Shoulder up by Pendragon. BUT THAT JUST GOT SCOTT OASIS MAD! MY GOD!!! THE IRON CLAW! SCOTT OASIS HOWLS AT HIS PREY AS HE SADISTICALLY COMPRESSES JAYDAYNE’S SKULL IN PREPARATION FOR THE BATTLE CRY! JAYDAYNE SHOULD HAVE LEARNED. THIS IS HOW SCOTT OASIS LAID HIM OUT IN THE FIRST PLACE SO MR. THUNDERBOLT SHOULDN’T BE AT ALL SHOCKED THAT THIS IS HOW IT ENDS!
Stephens: HOLD IT! Pendragons shoots a kick to Oasis’ temple, forcing him to release the hold. He follows up with a deft legsweep that drops Scott on his backside. Both men race to their feet… AND JAYDAYNE CRACKS THE ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE SIDE OF SCOTT OASIS’ HEAD!!! Somehow... Oasis does not go down. He hangs his head and looks utterly stunned but remains up on one knee. This is Pendragon’s chance… He races off the ropes and flies back WITH A SHINING WIZARD! SCOTT OASIS IS LAID FLAT OUT AND THE CROWD IS ELECTRIC FOR PENDRAGON! JAYDAYNE LOOKS LIKE HE IS GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THIS ENERGY AS HE CLIMBS RIGHT UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE! JOYEUSE!!!
Wilson: Scott Oasis rolls clear. Pendragon adjusts the double knee moonsault to land on his feet. AND HE BURSTS TOWARDS OASIS IN THE CORNER - BIG BOOT!!! I THINK THAT SOME OF SCOTT’S PHLEGM HAS BEEN CATAPULTED AT OUR ANNOUNCER’S TABLE AS ANOTHER VICIOUS KICK FINDS ITS MARK ON THE HEAD OF THE ICEMAN! Oasis stumbles out of the corner, still dazed as Pendragon hits the ropes… THE MASTER SWORD! Roaring Elbow is WAY WIDE of target as Oasis darts off at angle. Scott blitzes back FOR THE POUNCE AND JAYDAYNE CAN’T AVOID IT! OASIS BARRELS STRAIGHT THROUGH HIM LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN AND THEN MOUNTS FOR A SERIES OF CLUBBING BLOWS TO THE HEAD!
Stephens: This is absolutely brutal. Scott Oasis does not have a compassionate bone in his body and, unfortunately for Jaydayne Pendragon, that is proving to be an asset as he continues to pummel the lights out of the Heaven’s Arena Cup winner. Oasis rises…
Oasis (off mic): FUCK THEM CHINKS!!!
Wilson: Sorry? I didn’t quite catch what Scott Oasis just said. I hope he can repeat himself for the benefit of us and the fans. Haha. I love this guy.
Stephens: ...We can’t repeat what it sounded like Scott Oasis just said to this Osaka, Japan crowd but let us just say he would have even less friends if more of these fans understood him.
Wilson: I dunno. I find him endearing.
Stephens: I am sure you do, Daniel. Anyway, Oasis has begun dragging Pendragon back up to a vertical base. Jaydayne looks ready to collapse under his own weight here.
Wilson: That’s right, his own weight. It is his own fault that he is here in this position. He could have deferred to the greater power and you cannot blame Scott Oasis for this man’s poor life choices. The demolition of Jaydayne Pendragon is an inside job just like-
(THWACK!!!)
Stephens: JAYDAYNE JUST HIT SCOTT AROUND THE CHIN WITH A THUNDEROUS UPPERCUT! But Oasis has not moved. He’s actually laughing in Pendragon’s face. He points to his own chin - HE WANTS ANOTHER ONE! PENDRAGON OBLIGES BUT SCOTT OASIS STILL HAS NOT MOVED! HE REPLIES WITH AN UPPERCUT OF HIS OWN AND JAYDAYNE BUCKLES DOWN TO A KNEE FROM THE FORCE OF THAT BLOW! But Jaydayne fights back up… AND THROWS ANOTHER UPPERCUT! OASIS RESPONDS IN KIND! PENDRAGON AGAIN! OASIS! PENDRAGON! OASIS! PENDRAGON! OASIS! PENDRAGON! PENDRAGON! PENDRAGON!!! JAYDAYNE LINKS TOGETHER A A SUCCESSION OF STRIKES AND OASIS STAGGERS A STEP BACK…
(CRACK!!!)
Wilson: THE HEADBUTT!!! OH MY LORD! I THINK THE VERY SOUND OF IT GAVE ME A CONCUSSION! SCOTT OASIS JUST CRACKED SKULLS WITH JAYDAYNE SO HARD THAT HE SPLIT HIS OWN HEAD OPEN! A TRICKLE OF BLOOD SPILLS DOWN THE ICEMAN’S BROW BUT IT IS JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON WHO DROPS DOWN TO HIS KNEES!!! Oasis turns him around, applying the pump handle and hoisting Pendragon up onto his shoulders. SURELY THE RELAPSE!!!
Stephens: NO CIGAR! JAYDAYNE WITH JUST ENOUGH WHEREWITHAL TO SLIDE FREE BEHIND OASIS AND APPLY THE SLEEPER HOLD!!! With all of Oasis’ massive strength struggling against it, Pendragon looks to go a step further and pull him down with an inverted headlock takeover but Scott is too strong. He counters with the hip toss though Jaydayne rolls straight to his feet. AND HE TAKES SCOTT’S KNEE OUT FROM UNDER HIM WITH A LOW DROPKICK! Oasis tries to find his footing but Pendragon has picked his target. He hits a roundhouse to knee to unsettle Scott’s balance. And a second. A THIRD CAUSES OASIS TO BUCKLE! Pendragon keels him over with the shuffle side kick before racing off the ropes… ISE-NO-KAMI! BUT IT’S COUNTERED!!!
Wilson: HAH! YOU FOOL!!! THAT SCISSOR KICK GAVE SCOTT JUST THE OPENING HE NEEDED TO GET UNDERNEATH JAYDAYNE AND POP HIM UP ONTO HIS SHOULDERS! DOWNFALL!!! SCOTT OASIS LAUNCHES JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON THE BREADTH OF THE RING WITH THE RUNNING POWERBOMB TOSS! The only things stopping Jaydayne’s momentum are the ropes and we see him now slowly and pathetically use them as supports to drag himself back up. Don’t get me wrong though. Well done to the guy for still actually moving, I thought he was paralysed with the way he landed on the back of his neck. But this is not looking good for him.
Stephens: It is not over yet, but I have to agree with you there.
Wilson: Mhmmm.
Stephens: Oasis charges to have at him but Pendragon gets the boot up. Scott catches it. He tries to yank Jaydayne to him but Pendragon holds on, lifting the other boot to kick Oasis back as he flips up over the ropes and lands on the apron. ENZUIGIRI! It lands flush and sends Scott Oasis stumbling backwards, clutching his face as Pendragon climbs up into the corner. HE DIVES INTO A CHOP TO THE HEAD! BUT OASIS! SCOTT OASIS HAS CAUGHT HIM! HE PULLS JAYDAYNE IN CLOSE AND HOOKS THE LEG… EXPLODER SUPLEX!!! AND THAT IS NOT ALL! OASIS KEEPS HIM HOOKED AND ROLLS THROUGH AGAIN, LIFTING JAYDAYNE UP VERTICALLY AND SLAMMING HIM BACK DOWN FOR A FALCON ARROW! HE HOOKS THE LEG!
Referee: ONE!... TWO!...
Wilson: Kick out from Jaydayne Pendragon and Scott Oasis just sits beside him awhile looking mightily unamused. I hear he needs to leave the show early tonight to go give motivational speeches to educate the lazy and homeless, the saint that this man is. However, this Pendragon boy is holding him up by being so infuriatingly stubborn. You would think that the dominating performance that we have seen thus far would be at least enough for a stoppage or something but here we are.
Stephens: Come on, Daniel, it is not over yet.
Wilson: JUST THINK OF THE HOMELESS, MARK STEPHENS! This is not my SSW. At least we can be sure that Scott Oasis is motivated to wrap this up ASAP. He starts stomping the leg, targeting the knee of Jaydayne Pendragon. Jaydayne rolls across the canvas clutching the painful joint. Scott catches him by the ankle and pulls him over… AND SCOTT OASIS SITS IN DEEP FOR THE SINGLE LEG *BOSTON* CRAB! I understand it isn’t the kind of wushu people like here. Just understand this hold is simple yet effective as you can see from the unbelievable amount of torque that Scott Oasis is putting on Jaydayne Pendragon’s leg and lower back.
Stephens: Jaydayne is not an idle victim here, however. He is not too far from the ropes as he reaches to make the break… OASIS RELEASES THE HOLD AND PULLS HIM BACK TO THE CENTRE OF THE RING! HE DIGS THE HEEL DOWN MALICIOUSLY, RIGHT INTO THE BACK OF JAYDAYNE’S KNEE BEFORE PULLING THE LEG UP OVER HIS SHOULDER - STANDING STRETCH MUFFLER!!! SCOTT OASIS IS BENDING PENDRAGON’S BODY INTO ANGLES I’M NOT SURE IT HAS BEEN IN BEFORE!
Wilson: WOW! I think that is what they call B.O.B. Yoga. Everybody is raving about it. I am just amazed, like is there anything this guy Scott Oasis cannot do?
Stephens: Enough. Scott Oasis finding ever more ways to become more spiteful as he stomps RIGHT ON THE BACK OF JAYDAYNE’S HEAD all while keeping this hold locked in. Jaydayne tries to get under him and pull Scott Oasis off his feet. Oasis steadies himself as Pendragon takes an opening to reposition. HEADSCISSORS! But Oasis blocks the takedown and… Oh no. THE SHEER STRENGTH OF SCOTT OASIS AS HE DEADLIFTS JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON UP OFF THE CANVAS AND ONTO HIS SHOULDERS… POWERBOMB!!! AND HE ISN’T FINISHED! HE LIFTS JAYDAYNE AGAIN FOR A SECOND POWERBOMB, THEN JUST TO BE SURE SLAMS HIM INTO THE MAT WITH A THIRD JUST FOR GOOD MEASURE. JACKKNIFE COVER!
Referee: ONE!... TWO!... THR-
Wilson: *IT’S OVER!!!*
Stephens: NO! NO! BLUE SHOES ISN’T CALLING FOR IT! TWO AND HALF! TWO AND THREE QUARTERS EVEN BUT JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON HAS KICKED OUT JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME!
Wilson: WHAT!?
Stephens: Indeed.
Wilson: NO!
Stephens: Yes.
Wilson: YOU SAID NO A MOMENT AGO!
Stephens: Like “No” the match is not over.
Wilson: Is that a double negative?
Stephens: No.
Wilson: Grrr… You are SO wrong, Stevens. The bell may not have gone but just look at these two men. Jaydayne Pendragon STILL has not moved off the canvas. He is shot. This is gratuitous. Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy is a big thing these days. And it is an indictment of wrestling as a whole that we are not more in line with other sports when it comes to brain injuries. You may not be concerned that Scott Oasis appears to be positioning this talented young man ready to drop him directly on his head with the Seek and Destroy but don’t act surprised when he has to be wheeled out in a gurney.
Crowd: RA-KU-RAI! RA-KU-RAI! RA-KU-RAI! RA-KU-RAI!
Wilson: The crowd are electric in urging on Jaydayne Pendragon right now but they do not have a clue what he is going through right. They demand too much and Jaydayne may have been too obliging. Here it comes… SEEK AND DESTROY!!!
Crowd: OOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!! (in Japanese)
Stephens: I CAN’T BELIEVE IT! JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON JUST TILT-A-WHIRLED OUT OF THE SEEK AND DESTROY TO APPLY ANOTHER MANJI GATAME! OASIS BREAKS OUT AND TOSSES PENDRAGON AHEAD OF HIMSELF. OASIS RUSHES IN FOR A LEAPING KNEE BUT JAYDAYNE EVADES IT AND SCOTT GETS HIS LEG CAUGHT THROUGH THE ROPES! NOW JAYDAYNE SPRINTS OFF THE OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE RING AND REBOUNDS BACK… BASEBALL SLIDE GERMAN!!! HE SKIDS OUT OF THE RING, SNAPPING OASIS ON HIS BACK IN THE PROCESS! WHAT A GAME CHANGER!!!
Wilson: It wasn’t really all that…
Stephens: ARE YOU KIDDING!? THAT FELT LIKE SABIN FIGARO SUPLEXING A LITERAL PASSENGER TRAIN IN FINAL FANTASY 6!!!
Wilson: You are the very worst kind of weeb...
Stephens: Jaydayne slides back into the ring as Scott Oasis gets back to his feet. Oasis swings for a lariat but Pendragon ducks it and replies with a low roundhouse to disrupt his balance. Scott pivots and swings a big one-two but Jaydayne dips under both and hits a combo of open palm strikes, followed by a heavy roundhouse to the liver that sends Scott staggering into the ropes. Jaydayne seems to be just one step ahead of Oasis with every swing as cracks of frustration start to form on the face of Iceman.
Wilson: OASIS EXPLODES TOWARDS PENDRAGON FOR A SPEAR! BUT HE FINDS NOTHING AS HE SKIDS DOWN ONTO HIS HANDS AND KNEES! JAYDAYNE LEAPFROGGED IT! OASIS SCRAMBLES TO HIS FEET AND - HITCHEN’S RAZOR!!! SCOTT TURNED HIS HEAD RIGHT INTO THAT SPINNING WHEEL KICK BUT HAS THE RING AWARENESS TO ROLL TO THE OUTSIDE! At least… I think it’s ring awareness. What really got me was that Pendragon didn’t even look where he was hitting. How did he anticipate Scott so well?
Stephens: That’s I am sure is the special place within Jaydayne Pendragon that has come to be called “Ultra Instinct”. And it could be the difference maker right now as Jaydayne rapidly turns the tables in this match.
Referee: ONE!... TWO!...
Stephens: The count has begun as Scott Oasis struggles to recover at ringside. BUT JAYDAYNE IS GOING TO MAKE USE OF THE INITIATIVE HERE! HE CLIMBS UP TO THE TOP TURNBUCKLE AND OVERLOOKS THE STILL-DAZED SCOTT OASIS ON HIS HANDS AND KNEES BELOW! HERE IT COMES… JOYEUSE!!! JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON HITS THE MOONSAULT DOUBLE KNEE DROP LIKE A THUNDERBOLT FROM HEAVEN TO SMITE SCOTT OASIS DOWN AT RINGSIDE! THE CROWD ARE ON THEIR FEET! JAYDAYNE RISES LOOKING LIKE HE HAS A THOUSAND VOLTS RUNNING THROUGH HIM AS NO PART OF HIS BODY LOOKS ABLE TO STAY STILL. HE HURRIEDLY ROLLS OASIS BACK INTO THE RING!
Wilson: A dramatic turnover of fortunes here but Scott Oasis is still conscious and Jaydayne still needs to find a way to put him a way. He starts to cradle Scott Oasis’ head with his foot and raises his leg slowly to guide Scott up where he wants him. Does anyone else find this whole action incredibly disrespectful?
Stephens: No.
Wilson: DAMN IT, STEPHENS! NOBODY ASKED Y-
Stephens: REN RAZOR!!! SCOTT OASIS COVERS UP BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE CRANE CAUGHT HIM JUST UNDER THE GUARD AND HE GOES DOWN ONTO HIS KNEES! OASIS DOESN’T KNOW WHERE HE IS RIGHT NOW AS PENDRAGON LINES UP… ISE-NO-KAMI!!! BUT IT IS SIDESTEPPED AS OASIS PULLS BEHIND PENDRAGON. SNAP GERMAN SUPLEX! JAYDAYNE IS WHIPPED ONTO THE BACK OF HIS NECK WITH JUST ABOUT ALL THE FORCE THAT SCOTT OASIS CAN MUSTER!
Wilson: It’s over. This is it. You’ve had a good run, Jaydayne, but let’s home somebody is calling you an ambulance and setting up a CAT scan as we speak because Scott Oasis is ready to put this game to rest… SEEK AND DESTROY!
Stephens: HE BLOCKS IT! JAYDAYNE KNOWS WHAT PERIL HE IS IN AND CUTS IT OFF WITH A SHARP BACK ELBOW TO THE SIDE OF OASIS’ HEAD! PENDRAGON PULLS FORWARD, REACHING FOR THE CORNER! SCOTT OASIS KEEPS THE REAR WAISTLOCK HELD TIGHT BUT HE CAN’T STOP PENDRAGON FROM CATCHING A HOLD ONTO THE ROPES. JAYDAYNE YANKS HIMSELF INTO THE CORNER AND BOOTS SCOTT AWAY WITH THE MULE KICK! OASIS RIGHTS HIMSELF AS PENDRAGON PREPARES TO LEAP… HITCHEN’S RAZOR! HITCHEN’S RAZOR!!! THE SPINNING WHEEL KICK LANDS FOR A SECOND TIME BUT NOW JAYDAYNE MANAGES TO KEEP SCOTT HELD IN THE CENTRE OF THE RING! HE HOOKS THE LEG!!!
Referee: ONE!... TWO!... THREE!!!
(DING! DING! DING!)
(“Just Another Hero” by Yuki Hayashi hits the speakers but is drowned out by the thunderous roar of the jubilant crowd. Jaydayne Pendragon kneels catching his breath for a few moments before standing tall and allowing his hand to be raised.)
Saya Takada: Ladies and gentlemen, your winner by way of pinfall… JAYDAYNE PENDRAGON!!!
Stephens: VENGEANCE IS SERVED! Another huge victory for Jaydayne Pendragon as he proves that he is not a safe man to pick a fight with. Of course we now look forward to him picking his own fight as we await word on which Champion he will be challenging as winner of the inaugural Heaven’s Arena Cup. Just where is lightning going to strike?
Wilson: I don’t know what to say. For the greater part of this match, Scott Oasis dominated Jaydayne Pendragon physically, and dare I say it, emotionally. But every top wrestler knows to fight to the final bell and that is exactly what Jaydayne did tonight. Mark my words, however… Scott Oasis will not be out of the picture for long.
(Scott Oasis rolls out of the ring as he holds his head from what has happened in this match as he goes to the backstage area to make his exit. Jaydayne Pendragon continuing to celebrate his victory with the fans before he exits the ring and makes his departure when the camera shows the final match of the night on the titantron.)
(The titantron starts to play highlights of the tension that has risen between Aria Jaxon and Drake Jaeger, calling back to even before Strong Style Wrestling, with the issues that had arrived with them from their past promotion to lead Drake to debut on SSW after Aria’s championship defense at Supremacy. Drake made it clear that he didn’t believe that Aria was worthy to be the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion, Aria stated that Drake was nothing more than a peasant attempting to snatch away her crown, but both were intent on being known as the prime monarch as the world champion of the sport. The video fades out with the scene coming up of Saya Takado standing in the middle of ring with a smile upon her face.)
Saya Takada: The following contest scheduled for one fall… IS YOUR NIGHT TWO MAIN EVENT AND IS FOR THE SSW PURORESU HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
(“Die Jaeger Die” by contRoVersy hits the speakers with the entire Osaka Dome clapping along with the introduction to the song, with Drake Jaeger walking out when the music starts to pick up, stopping at the stage as he looks out towards the crowd with a smile on his face. He walks down the ramp as he starts mouthing to the camera about putting an end to the reign of Aria Jaxon, as he suddenly starts to the climb the steel steps and the turnbuckle, standing on the top of it to taunt out to the crowd. He raises his hands to his side to take in the applause of the crowd before jumping into the ring as Saya Takada starts to make her introduction.)
Saya Takada: Introducing first, the challenger… he is from Japantown, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada… he weighs in at 183 pounds… representing Ronin… “THE BIG BAD”... DRRAAAKKKKEEEEE JAAEEEGGGEEEERRRRRR!!!
Mark Stephens: Drake Jaeger has arrived in the Osaka Dome to make his Strong Style Wrestling debut with an opportunity at the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship in an attempt to unseat one of his rivals that he was shocked to learn has become a world champion. Not only has he come to make sure that someone worthy of the championship is able to hold it, but more important than that, he has come to humiliate and disgrace The Queen of Strong Style Wrestling as much as possible in this match that he has!
Daniel Wilson: Humiliate the reigning and defending SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion? DOUBTFUL! This man was on unemployment until he recently decided that because he read something on Twitter about Aria Jaxon being our queen, he had to do something about that! Just like these internet dweebs that hide behind their keyboards want to type rants all night about The Phantom Troupe being villains, he’s just someone that needs to get a grip on reality. However, he has more testicular fortitude than most, as he’s stepping in the ring with her tonight!
("Freedom” by Beyonce & Kendrick Lamar echoes throughout The Osaka Dome with the fans responding with emphatic boos right when the song hits. A smirking Aria Jaxon saunters out onto the stage, lowering her signature shades on the bridge of her nose to shoot condescending looks at members of the crowd. Wearing a purple jacket that she walks out with, she opens it up to reveal the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship strapped around her waist, turning around to showcase The Phantom Troupe logo on her back too. She turns around while she makes her way to the ring and holds up her belt in the air, working the crowd as she waves them off with her hand along smiling in the most artificially sweet way possible, before she walks up towards the ring to stare at her opponent inside of it. She hops up onto the ring apron, dropping her jacket and glasses at ringside before entering the ring and making a beeline for the center, holding her title up high with a big grin on her face towards Drake Jaeger while she talks smack towards him.)
Saya Takada: Introducing his opponent, she is from Los Angeles, California… weighing in at 114 pounds… she is the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion… representing The Phantom Troupe… “THE QUEEN OF STRONG STYLE WRESTLING”... ARRIIIAAAAA JAAXXXOOOONNNNN!!!
Daniel Wilson: ALL HAIL THE QUEEN! STAND UP, MARK! CLAP FOR THIS WOMAN THAT HAS BEEN AT THE HELM OF STRONG STYLE WRESTLING FOR 92 GLORIOUS DAYS AS OUR PURORESU HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! Aria Jaxon has all the confidence in the world in this match where it seems that she’s more than confident that she will be able to overcome the challenge of Drake Jaeger once and for all! This peasant that everyone has been clamoring about since he interrupted Aria’s celebration has been nothing more than a flickering star that’s about to be snuffed out by the glorious Aria Jaxon! She might have been screwed out of being the OWA Women’s Champion yesterday by those damn Vendettas, but she’s bound to walk out of her tonight with that championship!
Mark Stephens: You really are obsessed with her, aren’t you? Aria Jaxon has been nothing short of a cheat and a braggadocious champion that hasn’t represented ANYTHING that Strong Style Wrestling stands for! After what has happened with the OWA Women’s Championship match, she now has something to prove in this match here tonight with Drake Jaeger, even with the world in bated breath with hopes of her failure. The world has been watching her in disgust at what she has done to the most treasured championship in Japan and right now, everyone is hoping that Drake is able to come through with what he has made claims of and puts an end to the reign of Aria Jaxon here and now!
(DING! DING! DING!)
Mark Stephens: The main event for the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship has been called to start with Aria Jaxon and Drake Jaeger looking back towards one another in their respective corners before they walk out of them to start circling around the ring! This is going to be a battle and a war to find out who will be representing Strong Style Wrestling as our champion after this AND DRAKE STARTS TO GO IN ON THE CHAMPION FOR THE GRAPPLE! Both fighters are now in the clench to where they are struggling to see who will have the serious advantage at the start of the match WITH DRAKE DUCKING UNDER AND SPINNING BEHIND ARIA FOR THE WAISTLOCK! He could be looking for a German suplex BUT ARIA FIRES BACK WITH A BACK ELBOW PUT THE BRAKES ON HIM! NO! DRAKE CATCHES HER BY THE WRIST AND SPINS THE ARM AROUND FOR THE WRISTLOCK! He starts to twist her arm around PULLING HER BY THE FINGERS AS HE DOES IT TO ADD MORE PAIN INTO IT! THERE YOU GO, DRAKE! MAKE SURE SHE REMEMBERS WHO SHE’S IN THE RING WITH! Aria stands there wincing from the wristlock BUT SHE FLIPS OUT OF IT AND HOLDS DRAKE IN THE WRISTLOCK WHEN SHE ESCAPES! She starts to float around for the hammerlock with the arm and wraps her arm around the neck of Drake to catch him in a side-headlock! She squeezes her arm around her throat and wrenches down on his neck BUT DRAKE USES HIS FRAME AND STRENGTH TO START TO PUSH ARIA BACK INTO THE ROPES TO WHERE THE REFEREE STARTS TO CALL FOR THE BREAK BETWEEN THE TWO OF THEM! Aria starts to give a scowl towards the referee before she finally releases Drake from her clutches WITH DRAKE PATTING HER ON THE SHOULDER BEFORE WALKING AWAY! DRAKE IS DOING EVERYTHING THAT HE CAN TO GET INSIDE THE HEAD OF ARIA HERE TONIGHT! If he can succeed in this plan to be able to throw the champion off of her game with this, we might have a new champion tonight!
Daniel Wilson: You’re seriously going to count out Aria Jaxon like that, Mark? After the way that she not only became the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion, but with how she has defended it in the past? Drake Jaeger doesn’t stand a chance and Aria is about to show you and this audience why your hope has been misplaced! Drake and Aria start to walk around the ring once again WITH BOTH FIGHTERS LOCKING HORNS ONCE MORE IN THE CLENCH TO WHERE THEY START TO FIGHT IT OUT FOR POSITION AGAIN! This time, Aria is able to grab Drake by the wrist and wrench it into a wristlock BUT IT DOESN’T LAST FOR LONG WHEN DRAKE DROPS DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND SPINS HIS WAY OUT OF THE WRISTLOCK WHEN HE JUMPS UP TO HIS FEET TO LOCK HER BACK IN ONE HIMSELF! He starts to twist on her arm and go back to her fingers again BUT ARIA PULLS DRAKE’S ARMS UP AND FLIPS HIM DOWN TO THE CANVAS FOR AN ARM DRAG! WHOA! DRAKE ROLLS RIGHT BACK UP TO HIS FEET AND STARTS TO MARCH HIS WAY RIGHT BACK INTO THE FACE OF THE CHAMPION WITH A BOW! THIS DUDE IS MOCKING HER! The audacity of this man to mock such a-- OOOOHHHH! ARIA JUST SLAPS THE TASTE OUT OF DRAKE’S MOUTH AS SHE STARTS LAYING INTO HIM FOR DISRESPECTING HIM LIKE THAT! THAT’S RIGHT, QUEEN! SHOW THIS FOOL WHY HE SHOULDN’T DISRESPECT SOMEONE LIKE YOU! Aria is just berating her challenger at this point BUT DRAKE JUST FIRES OFF WITH AN ELBOW STRIKE RIGHT INTO HER MOUTH THAT SENDS HER REELING FROM THE IMPACT! YOU CAN’T HIT A WOMAN LIKE THAT! IT’S NOT FAIR! THE REFEREE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS! I guess this sexist referee will just allow him to land strikes like that BUT ARIA IS FIRED UP TO WHERE SHE LANDS AN ELBOW STRIKE OF HER OWN! I SEE WHERE THIS IS GOING! BOTH PARTICIPANTS ARE NOW DUKING IT OUT WITH ELBOWS BETWEEN ONE ANOTHER TO SEE WHO’S GOING TO COME OUT ON TOP! COME ON, ARIA! FIGHT! FIGHT FOR YOUR SUBJECTS! NO! DRAKE STRIKES WITH A KNEE TO THE STOMACH THAT DROPS ARIA RIGHT DOWN TO HER KNEES! A disgusting move from the challenger right there that I can’t respect with Drake lifting her up to her feet LAUNCHING THE CHAMPION INTO THE ROPES! PSYCH! ARIA SPINS OUT OF IT AND THROWS DRAKE INTO THE ROPES TO WHERE HE REBOUNDS BACK INTO A HIP TOSS FROM THE QUEEN HERSELF! Drake drops down to the canvas in a seated position when Aria does a cartwheel RIGHT INTO A DROPKICK TO A SEATED DRAKE THAT BLASTS HIM RIGHT IN THE FACE! THERE YOU GO! THAT’S WHAT I WANT TO SEE, ARIA!
Mark Stephens: I hate to admit it, but it was definitely an impressive move from the champion right there! Aria Jaxon rolls her way back up to her feet when she hunches over to grab Drake Jaeger by his ankle LOOKING TO GET HIM INTO THE ABSOLUTE MONARCHY! DON’T DO IT! DON-- YES! DRAKE WITH A MASSIVE BOOT TO THE JAW OF THE CHAMPION THAT SAVES HIM FROM BEING CAUGHT IN THAT FIGURE-FOUR LOCK! Aria still has him by the ankle a bit BUT DRAKE RESPONDS WITH ANOTHER BOOT THAT SENDS HER STUMBLING BACK FROM THE SHOT! Drake pushes his way up to his feet with Aria shaking off the boot to see her opponent on his feet SPRINTING IN FOR A RUNNING KNEE STRIKE! YES! YES! YES! BIG BANG IMPACT! DRAKE THROWS ARIA IN THE AIR BEFORE SHE CAN LAND WITH THE KNEE TO DROP HER WITH THE POP-UP POWERBOMB! Aria was dropped on the canvas with a massive intensity much to the pleasure of the audience as she starts to roll around in anguish with Drake holding a smile on his face as he walks around the ring! Drake starts to pick the champion apart as he stomps on her left leg first, following it up with a stomp on her right leg after that! He continues on with a stomp of her left arm and proceeds with one on her right arm RIGHT BEFORE HE LOOKS TO DROP A FINAL STOMP ON THE BACK OF HER HEAD TO FINISH EXODIA! OH! A VICIOUS STOMP TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD FROM DRAKE AS HE TAKES A MOMENT TO SPEND IN PLEASURE OF THIS MOMENT TO ENJOY THE ADULATION OF THE CROWD! All while he’s doing this, Aria rolls her way to the outside of the ring as he collapses down onto the floor! Drake turns away to notice this as he stands in the middle of the ring with a smile on his face while he watches the champion attempt to fight to get to her feet! Aria grabs the ring apron as she starts to pull herself up CALLING FOR DRAKE TO SPRINT BACK INTO THE ROPES TO GAIN SPEED AS HE LOOKS TO RETURN FOR GODSPEED! SUICIDE DIVE! DRAKE FLIES THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE AND LANDS RIGHT INTO THE QUEEN OF STRONG STYLE WRESTLING AS SHE IS FLUNG BACK INTO THE BARRICADE! Drake takes another moment with the fans to celebrate and these people are eating it up! Drake has been able to give quite a fight to the champion in this ring and he could actually be on the path to being crowned our new champion right here tonight!
Daniel Wilson: NO WAY! I will not sit here and watch someone like Drake Jaeger come of the streets to debut in this match and steal the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship that Aria Jaxon has worked so hard to keep! NOT AT ALL! COME ON, ARIA! GIVE HIM A FIGHT! The referee is calling for these men to get into the ring when Drake ignores the referee to grab Aria out of the barricade STRIKING WITH A EUROPEAN UPPERCUT BEFORE HE GLANCES BACK AT THE BARRICADE! Aria stumbles back from the strike to her chin when Drake grabs her by the wrist LAUNCHING HER ACROSS THE ARENA FLOOR INTO THE BARRICADE! YES! THANK ALL THE STARS! ARIA JUST SAVED HERSELF BY SPINNING OUT OF IT AND THROWING DRAKE RIGHT INTO THE BARRICADE! SHE STUMBLES BACK INTO THE RING APRON TO WHERE SHE SEES WHAT SHE HAS DONE THAT MERITS HER TO ROLL HER WAY BACK INTO THE RING FOR THE REFEREE TO BEGIN THE COUNT ON DRAKE! THAT’S RIGHT! YOU DON’T EVEN NEED THE PIN, ARIA! COUNT HIM OUT AND JUST TAKE THAT CHAMPIONSHIP BACK HOME IN PHANTOM TROUPE WHERE IT BELONGS!
Referee: ONE!... TWO!... THREE!... FOUR!... FIVE!...
Mark Stephens: Drake Jaeger is holding the back of his head from the way that it bounced off against the barricade like a basketball as he starts to crawl his way over towards the ring! COME ON, DRAKE! YOU CAN MAKE IT! BEAT THE COUNT!
Referee: SIX!... SEVEN!... EIGHT!...
Daniel Wilson: DANG IT! DRAKE JAEGER IS ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO THE RING AT THE COUNT OF EIGHT, ROLLING BACK INTO THE RING AS HE KEEPS CRADLING THE BACK OF HIS HEAD! No worries, Aria Jaxon is going to be able to handle this as she walks over to grab Drake by the hair PULLING HIS HEAD UP FOR THE HAIR-PULL CURB STOMP! YES! ARIA JUST PUTTING DRAKE IN HIS PLACE AS SHE DRIVES THAT BOOT TO TARGET THE SKULL OF HER OPPONENT! Aria looks out in laughter at the crowd before she looks down to kick Drake in the ribs while she berates him! LET HIM HAVE IT, ARIA! He shouldn’t even be in this match anyway, Mark! Drake starts to roll himself over towards the ropes with Aria not that far behind him to grab him from behind to place his neck on the middle rope PRESSING HER BOOT ON THE BACK OF HIS HEAD TO CHOKE HIM OUT OF THE MIDDLE ROPE! THE REFEREE STARTS TO COME IN AND TELL HER TO LET HIM GO TO MAKE A COUNT OF FIVE! SHE DOES RELEASE HIM BEFORE THE REFEREE EVENTUALLY MAKES THE COUNT WITH A VILE GRIMACE ON HER FACE ABOUT IT! She grabs Drake by the head and pulls him in under her arm while she backs up towards the center of the ring HOOKING HIS ARMS IN FOR THE BUTTERFLY SUPLEX! WAIT! DRAKE SHOVES ARIA INTO THE ROPES BEFORE HE SITS UP AND FIRES WITH A SUPERKICK RIGHT TO HER FACE THAT MAKES HER TIP OVER THE TOP ROPE AND FALL DOWN TO THE FLOOR! Drake looks down onto the champion as he tries to shake off the beating he has already endured from her as he looks back SPRINTING TOWARDS THE ROPES BEFORE HE LOOKS FOR A SECOND GODSPEED SUICIDE DIVE ONTO ARIA! PLEASE, DON’T DO IT! PLEASE! YES! ARIA SLIDES THROUGH THE BOTTOM ROPE AS DRAKE GOES THROUGH THE MIDDLE ROPE, BUT SADLY CATCHES HIMSELF TO WHERE HE HANGS OFF THE RING APRON! Aria runs over towards the turnbuckle with Drake getting himself to stand on the ring apron WITH ARIA FLYING IN FOR A TRIANGLE DROPKICK TO THE OUTSIDE! DRAKE FLIES OFF THE APRON RIGHT DOWN ONTO THE FLOOR WITH ARIA PUSHING HERSELF BACK UP TO HER FEET AS SHE LOOKS DOWN TOWARDS HER CHALLENGER! What genius plans does Aria have in store for Drake right here? You can see those cogs turning her mind for her devious ideas to start to take form as she lights up with an idea it seems! She walks over towards the turnbuckle to where she starts to make the climb, looking over towards Drake on the outside trying to pick himself back up to his feet, with Aria smiling AS SHE STARTS TO STAND ON THE TURNBUCKLE! WHAT IS SHE DOING? Drake starts to turn himself around WHEN ARIA FLIES OFF THE TOP OF THE TURNBUCKLE FOR SPARKS FLY! THE DIVING SOMERSAULT NECKBREAKER TO THE OUTSIDE HAS LANDED WITH BOTH FIGHTERS LANDING HARD ONTO THE ARENA FLOOR! WHAT AN AMAZING MOVE RIGHT THERE FROM THE CHAMPION TO MAKE SURE THAT SHE WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE CHALLENGER FROM BEING ABLE TO FIGHT BACK! The referee has to start his count at this point as he call for both of them to get back into the ring!
Referee: ONE!... TWO!... THREE!... FOUR!... FIVE!...
Mark Stephens: Aria Jaxon is the first to show signs of life between these two fighters with her crawling her way over towards the ring apron to try and pull herself up onto her feet while Drake Jaeger is still rolling around the floor and holding the back of his neck from that Sparks Fly to the outside! DRAKE NEEDS TO GET HIMSELF UP TO HIS FEET IF HE HOPES TO DETHRONE TO VILE QUEEN FROM THE PHANTOM TROUPE IN THIS MATCH TONIGHT!
Referee: SIX!... SEVEN!... EIGHT!... NINE!... TEN!...
Daniel Wilson: The gorgeous Aria Jaxon makes it to her feet as she walks over towards Drake Jaeger to lift him up to his feet DRAGGING HIM TOWARDS THE RING APRON TO BOUNCE HIS HEAD OFF OF IT BEFORE ROLLING HIM BACK INTO THE RING! Aria crawls back into the ring herself as she rolls him onto his back HOOKING HIS LEG IN FOR THE FIRST PIN ATTEMPT OF THE NIGHT RIGHT HERE! THE REFEREE SLIDES IN FOR THE PINFALL!
Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!
Mark Stephens: YES! DRAKE JAEGER IS ABLE TO KEEP THE MATCH GOING WITH A SHOULDER UP OFF THE CANVAS AFTER THE SPARKS FLY TO THE OUTSIDE! Aria Jaxon is left wondering what she needs to do to be able to put away the challenger here tonight as she starts to pick herself up in disbelief! She sits above Drake Jaeger to where she starts laying into him with elbow strikes while screaming about this being her kingdom before she stands up to go over towards his legs GRABBING DRAKE BY THE ANKLE AS SHE COULD BE GOING FOR IT AGAIN! SHE SPINS AROUND AND DROPS DOWN TO THE CANVAS TO LOCK DRAKE INTO THE ABSOLUTE MONARCHY! SHE HAS HIM IN THE FIGURE-FOUR LEGLOCK, BUT HAS YET TO BRIDGE IT TO WHERE SHE WANTS TO SEE THE PAIN AND SUFFERING ON DISPLAY IN DRAKE’S FACE! What an evil woman she is to do something like this as she just watches Drake try to reach out and crawl his way out of this ONLY FOR ARIA TO STRIKE HIM WITH A SLAP TO THE FACE WITH A SLUR THAT I SHALL NOT REPEAT BEFORE SHE BENDS BACK FOR THE COMPLETE BRIDGE! THE BRIDGING FIGURE-FOUR LOCK HAS BEEN COMPLETELY APPLIED! DRAKE HAS NOWHERE LEFT TO GO WITH EVERY OUT THAT HE HAS SO FAR AWAY FOR HIM! Drake has to think in the back of his mind and use whatever will he has to keep himself from tapping out to the submission while he starts to push and crawl his way back to where he’s looking to reach over towards one of the turnbuckles! He’s crawling and doing whatever he can to get himself over there BUT ARIA IS CRAWLING WITH HIM AS SHE SPIDER CRAWLS WITH THE BRIDGE! EVEN THOUGH I MIGHT NOT LIKE HER, I HAVE TO RESPECT THAT ATHLETICISM THAT SHE HAS TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT! SHE’S KEEPING THE BRIDGE BY CRAWLING WITH DRAKE AND I’M GETTING WORRIED AT THIS POINT! DRAKE COULD BE ON THE VERGE OF TAPPING OUT IF SHE’S ABLE TO KEEP THE BRIDGE IN FOR THIS LONG! Drake is inching his way over to wh-- YES! DRAKE IS AT THE CORNER TO WHERE HE REACHES THE ROPES AS THE REFEREE RUSHES IN AND BREAKS THE SUBMISSION! Aria drops down to the canvas while she rolls her way up to her feet, shaking her arms from the crawling she did to keep the submission applied, watching as Drake uses the ropes of the turnbuckle to make his way to his own feet! I’m so surprised that Aria and Drake have been putting on such a clinic in this main event right here!
Daniel Wilson: I can understand being surprised about Drake Jaeger because let’s be real, he’s a disgraced wrestler that has just made his return to the ring after how long? However, Aria Jaxon has been a fighting champion since she has won that championship and after a match she was bound to win last night, she still has enough in her to fight with this much passion and heart! Aria sees Drake start to stand on his feet as she sprints in BUT THAT HEATHEN KNOWN AS DRAKE IS ABLE TO LAND A RUNNING EUROPEAN UPPERCUT TO FLOOR THE CHAMPION! Drake walks around the ring and grabs Aria by her brilliant locks to pull her up PERFORMING AN INSULTING HAIR-PULL CURB STOMP ON HER THAT HE CALLS THE JAXON SPECIAL! HOW RUDE DOES AN INDIVIDUAL NEED TO BE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT? Drake is just laughing and enjoying this before we see him back away towards the turnbuckle and start to call for Aria to stand up to her feet! Aria is pushing herself up to her feet with a bitterness in her eyes as he stands to look for Drake WHO SPRINTS IN FOR THE GAE BOLG! SUPERKICK! A FURIOUS SUPERKICK FROM ARIA MAKES IT WHERE HE SLUMPS DOWN TO THE CANVAS FROM THE IMPACT WITH ARIA SEETHING IN ANGER FROM THE HUMILIATION THAT SHE HAS JUST ENDURED FROM THAT HAIR-PULL CURB STOMP! She stumbles a bit after landing that as she is still feeling the effects from the stomp, but she looks over towards the turnbuckle to where she starts to make her climb up to the top of it once again! Could she be looking for Sparks Fly once more? Could she be looking for that rounding moonsault that she once called Code Blue? There’s no telling with a genius like Aria Jaxon in the ring! Aria makes her way to the top of the turnbuckle BUT THE PEASANT KNOWN AS DRAKE JAEGER SOMEHOW IS ABLE TO MAKE HIS WAY TO HIS FEET AND STRIKES ARIA WITH A STEP-UP ENZIGURI THAT CAUSES HER TO COLLAPSE ONTO THE TOP ROPE! Drake holds onto the top rope to keep himself from falling to the canvas before he grabs Aria and spins her around to where she faces the crowd from the top of the turnbuckle! Drake starts to climb his way to the top as he hooks under her arms with a smile on his face RIGHT BEFORE HE THROWS HER BACK FROM THE TOP ROPE FOR THE DRAGON BALL SUPERPLEX! A DRAGON SUPLEX FROM THE TOP ROPE LANDS ON THE CANVAS WITH DRAKE DROPPING ARIA ONTO HER SHOULDERS AND NECK FROM THAT AMAZING SUPLEX! Drake rolls his way back to his feet and stumbles back into the turnbuckle corner behind him as he nods his head, crouching down to where he calls for Aria to get back to her feet, to where I don’t even know if she will be able to make it to her feet! I’m battling with myself whether I want her to stand up or not, but I don’t want to see her lose the championship tonight already! She pushes herself on the canvas as she starts to make her way up to her feet, Aria finally able to stand as she looks drained already, with Drake smiling AS HE SPRINTS IN FOR THE GAE BOLG ONCE MORE! THE SPEAR! DRAKE IS ABLE TO MOW RIGHT THROUGH THE CHAMPION WITH THE SPEAR WITH DRAKE INSTANTLY GOING RIGHT FOR THE COVER! DON’T LET IT END THIS WAY, ARIA! KICK OUT WITH EVERYTHING THAT YOU’VE GOT!
Referee: ONNNEEE!!!... TWWWOOO!!!...
Mark Stephens: WHAT? NO WAY! THERE’S NO WAY SHE DID THAT! ARIA JAXON HAS JUST KICKED OUT OF THE GAE BOLG AND WE NOW SEE DRAKE JAEGER NODDING HIS HEAD AS HE KNOWS WHAT HE MUST DO! THAT’S RIGHT, DRAKE! YOU HAVE TO DO IT! THERE’S NO OTHER CHOICE AT THIS POINT! Drake points down towards Aria as he rushes towards the ropes LOOKING FOR THE DEVIL TR- HOW? ARIA ROLLS THROUGH TO AVOID GETTING HIT WITH A BICYCLE KNEE STRIKE WITH DRAKE TURNING AROUND T-- ROUNDHOUSE KICK! ARIA BLASTS DRAKE IN THE SIDE OF THE HEAD WITH A ROUNDHOUSE KICK THAT HAS HIM STUMBLING AROUND THE RING DAZED FROM IT! Aria spins Drake around and leaps up in the air FLIPPING BACK FOR THE ULTRAVIOLET! ARIA SPIKES DRAKE ON HIS HEAD WITH THE HURRICANRANA DRIVER RIGHT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE RING, BUT ARIA IS FAR FROM OVER! FIGHT DRAKE! YOU GOT TO FIGHT IF YOU WANT TO END HER REIGN OF TYRANNY! Aria stands up to her feet to where she walks over towards the ropes herself CALLING FOR DRAKE TO STAND ON HIS FEET AS SHE STOMPS INTO THE CANVAS!

Daniel Wilson: THERE IS A GOD! THERE IS A GOD! ARIA JAXON WAS ABLE TO LIFT HER SHOULDER UP OFF THE CANVAS JUST IN THE NICK OF TIME WITH DRAKE JAEGER LEFT IN DISBELIEF OF WHAT HE JUST WITNESSED! HIS DEVIL TRIGGER! HIS OMAE WA MOU SHINDEIRU! NEITHER WAS ABLE TO PUT THE QUEEN OF STRONG STYLE WRESTLING DOWN FOR GOOD! The crowd is left in disbelief, the entire Osaka Dome is stunned, we’re stunned, the fans at home have to be in awe at what they just witnessed sharing in the same reaction as Drake is right now!

HE’S STAYING RIGHT HERE IN STRONG STYLE WRESTLING AND HE’S ABOUT TO BECOME THE NEW PURORESU HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION! Aria Jaxon can’t believe that she’s not able to put this man away and she’s having such a struggle to be able to retain her championship in this match to where she stands up to her feet!

( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z82NgnYg98k interrupts with Drake Jaeger looking towards the stage with shock and anger as the fans start to rain down their disdain knowing what is coming.)
Daniel Wilson: ARE THEY HERE? ARE THEY HERE TO SAVE OUR QUEEN FROM THE HORRIBLE FATE THAT WAS ABOUT TO BE MADE FOR HER? Drake Jaeger stands on his feet to meet The Phantom Troupe headfirst as he watches the stage… but no one has come down from the stage! WAIT! HERE THEY ARE! THE OMEGA HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION CM NAS AND THE REAPER KNOWN AS SAUL OMEN HAS ENTERED THE RING AT OPPOSITE TURNBUCKLES! Both men are staring across the ring towards Drake Jaeger who looks at both of them with a sense of worry RIGHT BEFORE HE LUNGES TOWARDS OMEN WITH A SUPERKICK TO TAKE HIM OUT! OH MY GOODNESS! YOU IDIOT! SAUL ROLLS OUT OF THE WAY AND BEHIND HIM WAS THE REFEREE THAT SUFFERS FROM THE SUPERKICK THAT DRAKE HAD INTENDED FOR SAUL! Drake looks down at the referee with shock before he knows the fight that he’s going to have to win as he turns around MET ALMOST INSTANTLY WITH A MEMENTO MORI FROM SAUL! A REVERSE ROUNDHOUSE KICK RIGHT INTO THE JAW OF DRAKE THAT LEAVES HIM STUNNED! Saul shoves Drake right towards CM Nas WHO THROWS HIM ON HIS SHOULDERS WITH A DEVILISH GRIN ON HIS FACE! ETHER! THE FIREMAN’S CARRY INTO A KNEE STRIKE TO THE FACE DROPS DRAKE DOWN TO THE FLOOR! CM Nas goes over to try and awaken the referee while Saul Omen attempts to bring Aria back to her feet and help her get back into the match! With the referee and Aria Jaxon both standing back to their feet and back in the match, The Phantom Troupe members exit underneath the ropes and watch from ringside! Isn’t it great to have brothers-in-arms like CM Nas and Saul Omen to come to your rescue in times like this? Aria is still feeling the effects from The Zero Dawn that she suffered as she notices that Drake Jaeger has been taken out and sees her brothers in The Phantom Troupe at ringside which brings a devious smile to her face! She walks over towards the fallen challenger as she drags him up to his feet LEAPING IN THE AIR FOR THE MIDNIGHT ZERO THAT SHE INTENDED TO HIT EARLIER INTO THE MATCH! A JUMPING CUTTER LANDS ON THE CANVAS BEFORE SHE ROLLS BACK TO LOCK HIM INTO A DRAGON SLEEPER! THE DRAGON SLEEPER HAS BEEN APPLIED AND DRAKE HAS ALREADY TAKEN SO MUCH DAMAGE FROM THE PHANTOM TROUPE IN THIS MATCH! HE REACHES OUT TO TRY AND GRAB ONTO THE ROPE OR A TURNBUCKLE! TAP OUT, YOU IDIOT! THERE’S NO CHOICE! YOUR DREAMS ARE OVER AND YOU CAN FINALLY LEAVE THIS PLACE! DRAKE… HE… HE… HE TAPS OUT! YES! DRAKE HAS NO CHOICE BUT TO TAP OUT TO THE SUBMISSION! RING THE DAMN BELL, REFEREE! OUR QUEEN STILL STANDS VICTORIOUS!
(DING! DING! DING!)
("Freedom” by Beyonce & Kendrick Lamar plays in the background with Aria Jaxon sitting up with a smile on her face as the entire Osaka Dome has turned against her with bitterness due to the manner in which she has retained the championship. Saul Omen and CM Nas both walk towards the middle of the ring and delivers the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship to Aria Jaxon. They both help her up and order the referee to raise her hand, as he does with hesitation, before they all raise each others’ hand in the middle of the ring.)
Saya Takada: Here is your winner AND STTTTTIIIILLLLLLLLLLL SSW PUUUURRROOORRREEESSSUUUUUU HEEEAAAAVVVVYYYYWWWEEEEIIIGGHHHHTTTT CHHHAAAMMMMPPPPIIIOOOONNNN… ARRRRIIIIIIAAAAAA JAAXXXXOOONNNNNN!!!
Daniel Wilson: SHE DID IT, MARK! SHE DID WHAT EVERYONE THOUGHT THAT SHE COULDN’T DO! SHE BEAT DRAKE JAEGER IN THE MIDDLE OF THE RING TO LEAVE NO DOUBT IN THE WORLD’S MIND THAT SHE’S THE GREATEST TALENT THAT HAS EVER STEPPED FOOT IN A SSW RING! This was an amazing match that I think EVERYONE should be proud of being able to witness! Not only has it shown the brilliance of the champion, but the unity that The Phantom Troupe has that every other faction in Strong Style Wrestling wishes it could have!
Mark Stephens: Are you joking? Do you honestly believe what you’re saying right now? There’s no way that you actually think that Aria Jaxon deserves to be the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion after what you just saw! Drake Jaeger was a second, ONE SECOND, away from being your new champion and you say that? I don’t think I have any respect left for you as a broadcast partner, Daniel. This is a travesty and just goes to show why we need someone to be able to dethrone Aria from her throne.
Daniel Wilson: Don’t worry, Mark. I’ve never had respect for you BECAUSE YOU DON’T HONOR THE GREAT QUEEN OF STRONG STYLE WRESTLING! EVERYONE GIVE HER A ROUND OF APPLAUSE! SHE HAS EARNED IT!
(CM Nas and Saul Omen both lift Aria Jaxon from underneath to where she is lifted high by her comrades as purple confetti once again rains down from the rafters of The Osaka Dome in celebration of her defense. This crowd is none too pleased with the way that she has retained the championship with Aria lifting the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship high before she has the two Phantom Troupe brothers drop her down to the canvas before she takes the microphone to her hand.)
Aria Jaxon: Ladies and gentlemen… STILL your reigning and defending SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Champion OF THE WORLD… ME! YOUR QUEEN! This peasant thought that he could be able to dethrone me from my kingdom, but he needs to learn like the rest of the people in that locker room need to learn exactly what happens when you face The Queen! When you try to take my kingdom, you’re not just facing me… you’re facing an entire ARMY that stands by my side! CM Nas… Saul Omen… they have defended my honor from the disrespectful peasant that tried to steal what belonged to The Phantom Troupe! With that being said, I’m glad that everyone has been able to see the greatness that stands before you! The fans of Strong Style Wrestling, the fans of Omega Wrestling Alliance, EVERYONE can see that Aria Jaxon is THE BEST WRESTLER ON THIS PLANET! I stood in this ring and I walked out with the richest prize in this sport today and I thank every single one of you for being able to witness it! For those who couldn’t make the journey over to this event, don’t worry. There will be more where that came from because I AM NEEEVVVEEEEERRRR LOSING THI--
(“Just Another Hero” by Yuki Hayashi interrupts the celebration of Aria Jaxon with all three Phantom Troupe members looking with shock on their faces as the crowd erupts in cheers. Jaydayne Pendragon walks out to the stage with The Heaven’s Arena Cup in his hands with Masanori Kawada and Belle Kingsley standing by his side. All three members walk towards the ring before they slide into it to meet The Phantom Troupe with Jaydayne snatching the microphone away from Aria.)
Jaydayne Pendragon: You disgust me. You’re an insult to what should be known as a champion in this company. Everyone has worked to showcase why Strong Style Wrestling is the top promotion alongside Omega Wrestling Alliance, prove why we should be considered the best and while Finnegan Wakefield fought with honor for his championship, what did you do? You gave a slap to the face of everyone by bringing these two out here as your insurance policy to keep the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship in your possession. The fact is that you should have never been champion in the first place for this very reason and I should have been the one to represent this company to the best of my abilities. So, here’s where the line has been drawn. This Heaven’s Arena Cup has given me the opportunity to challenge for ANY championship and any champion from Strong Style Wrestling at Domination. I’ve thought this over and with everything that has happened, I can’t make a better decision IN FACING YOU AND ENDING YOUR REIGN AT DOMINATION!
(Jaydayne Pendragon looks with determination into Aria Jaxon’s eyes with a scowl arising on hers to know that he’s bound to challenge her for the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship.)
Jaydayne Pendragon: Take pleasure in this false victory while you can, Aria. Keep these brothers of your close beside you because when our day comes when we fight for the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship, Shoot Nation will make sure that they are far from that ring and I’ll make sure that your reign of tyranny… it’s over.
(Jaydayne Pendragon pushes the microphone right into Aria Jaxon before they leave the ring and start to make their walk backstage with a look of determination on their faces as they make their exit. Aria Jaxon doesn’t look impressed or worried about the challenge to where she raises the SSW Puroresu Heavyweight Championship high in the air with CM Nas and Saul Omen joining the celebration as the camera fades to black… )
