UBL

OG-FPD Immortal

2011-12-10T01:51:00.010-05:00

*The crowd is calm as they dually anticipate and dread the start of the event. Tonight is the literal "beginning of the end", the "11th hour', the "last peanut soaked in the oil of its departed brothers", and other cliches as UBL and OG-Joshi present their final shows ever under the OG-FPD umbrella. The mood in the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena is appropriate for the proceedings. Some fans are sad while others are pleased to see the end of this era: happy that a megalomaniac like Orochi Geese has finally given up his power.

The show starts with a split screen showing us the UBL Battle Chamber and the OG-Joshi Amplitheater. John Randolph is sitting at his usual place in the commentary booth of the Battle Chamber: mercifully not joined by James Ward. "Mean" Jean Carter is sitting in the Amplitheater joined by Luke Kisiera (who is not wearing a headset). She has tears in her eyes but is trying to be strong as Luke smiles at her and nods his head. John looks on sympathetically as she's about to speak but immediately breaks down crying.*

[MJC:] "I'm sorry... this is just, I never imagined doing this... this show. The end."

[John:] "I know how you feel, Jean. The last few months have been hard on us all."

[MJC:] "And I just want to do a good job tonight. The last thing people want to remember about the final OG-FPD show is some wacky girl crying! Especially a coach! A coach isn't supposed to let her players and fans see her cry. She's supposed to be tough! Whistle blowing tough!"

[John:] "Once we get down to talking about the matches, you'll feel a bit better."

[MJC:] "Yeah, let's do...that. So, the NEXUS Title is on the line first, right?"

[John:] "UBL, then LAWL, then OG-Joshi, then a surprise, then the main event. It's probably the shortest anniversary show ever but, given the circumstances, that's how it has to be."

[MJC:] "Yeah, the circumstances. Let's just call it that and maybe I'll be able to deal tonight. So I guess we should start discussing the NEXUS-"

*#2121313 by Corrosion of Conformity hits the PA at the UBL Battledome, bringing to the arena the "King of Combat", Gene Starr. He carries the MDWF Championship around his waist, his music ending by the time he makes it to the ring stairs. As he enters the ring, he's handed a microphone from a ringside attendant.*

[John:] "Looks like Mean Jean was just interrupted by Starr Gene."

[MJC:] "I won't hold it against him! Let's hear what he has to say!"

[Gene:] They gave me a few minutes to talk, but didn't really give me any guidelines. So, here goes.

I'm here, my first match in UBL in over a year... heh, and it's the last damn UBL show. That's some messed up stuff, man. Especially considering my massive contributions to this company. You people out there may not've stopped to think about it, but, I want you to remember how much UBL has been changed by my presence. If you'll recall, when I debuted here, UBL was a promotion with too little talent, and too many shows. It was like someone thought, "how do we get a year of shows out of a 20-man roster?" and they came up with this dumb league format. But, things started to change. The open shows started, and I came in, and being the only Champion in the promotion, declared myself the UBL Champion.

And what an uproar that caused! It all lead to the creation of what I'm here for tonight; the NEXUS Championship. Named that because as UBL changed in my wake, it became a nexus, a hub, where the best of the best from around the world came to ply their trade; UBL became a nexus of professional wrestling, and the NEXUS Championship became one of the most sought-after Championships in the industry - as well as it should've been. And I helped forge it, I became the first NEXUS Champion, and the only two-time NEXUS Champion. I am the man that lead the charge to turn UBL from that promotion with too little talent and too much airtime into a promotion so overflowing with the best talent in the world that it had to keep coming up with new ways to showcase it. Open shows, Front Lines, Orochi-O's TV, Basic Training... All because of me making a bold claim and being able to back it up.

And now, here I am; here to take back a big part of my influence; the NEXUS Championship - my Championship. UBL became such a phenomenon as my presence began being felt here that, literally, people were preparing to go to war for the opportunity to purchase it, and I'm here to make sure that a man worthy of the NEXUS Championship holds it into UBL's future.

My name... is Gene Starr. And you won't forget it."

*Gene heads over to the ropes and hands the mic to an attendant, removing the M-DWF Championship from his waist and waiting for his opponent challengers and, of course, the reigning NEXUS Champion.*

[MJC:] "Wow, that was incredibly heart felt. I can't say I've seen eye to eye with Mr. Starr in the past but you can't help but root for him to some degree after seeing the passion he clearly has for UBL and that NEXUS Championship. That was really inspiring!"

[John:] "Gene has always been somewhat of an enigma. He rubs some wrestlers the wrong way but has been very honourable about how he goes about things in the ring. I can't remember any time where he jumped someone from behind or did anything illegal in the ring. He's dangerous with his multi-faceted arsenal of submissions, strikes, and slams, but he's gonna beat you face to face, not by sneak attack. The fans don't always love what he has to say but they respect how he's able to back it up time and time again. Even when he suffered the setback of losing the NEXUS Title the first time, he came back and beat Karl Wunderlin in the rematch. And with the energy Gene has tonight, he could easily take this thing."

[MJC:] "Well, John, I don't know about easily with the amount of talent that will be in this ring. But I certainly think he certainly holds up his end of the bargain here! And with that, it's time to really start discussing this match: the final one for UBL. I was told that Kyle's match with Geese in the main event would actually be held under the OG-FPD banner. And while there are some UBL wrestlers in the Battle Royale later tonight, that is an interpromotional match. This, right now, will be the last UBL match held under Orochi-O's ownership. So...let's do our part to make the discussion worthy!"

[John:] "Indeed. Markus Caesaro is the reigning UBL NEXUS Champion. He was given the Title by his brother, Julian, who won it last year from Gene Starr. Corey O'Brian has been the closest to winning the Title without actually doing it. Markus only has one title defense, from Battle Formation against Daddy Prime Time, but proved his worth."

[MJC:] "But Mr. Arthur Wingate wanted to clarify the Title scene before he took total ownership of the UBL . He didn't like the idea of having two wrestlers, Julian and Markus, who each had a legitimate claim to the Title. He also respects Gene Starr and thinks that Corey deserved a final shot here too. The thing is, no one is entirely certain which wrestlers are set to follow UBL to its new home in England. Arthur certainly hopes that whoever wins tonight will accept a plane ticket."

[John:] "And I'd like to announce that Mr. Wingate generously offered me a contract with the new UBL and I agreed to all terms. So I'll be shipping off to the United Kingdom in January."

[MJC:] "Congratulations! It wouldn't be the UBL without you, John!"

[John:] "That means a lot coming from you, Jean. Especially since you were the original voice of UBL during the singles league."

*Jean nods and places her hand on Luke's shoulder.*

[MJC:] "Right, that was before Luke Kisiera, over here, became my boyfriend."

[John:] "No, I meant singles league as a shorthand for the Universal Champions League."

[MJC:] "I know, just kinda wanted to make a joke."

*Jean smiles but it's clear she's still very emotional so John nods.*

[John:] "Touche. And despite some of the issues I've had here over the last few months, I've really enjoyed this job. So I'm glad to continue my broadcast journalist career in the new UBL. I know that Mr. Wingate will run a tight ship in prohibiting intimidation of commentators and excessive violence in general. I hope the majority of the roster follows suit as I want to see how their careers advance, especially those in the Basic Training division."

[MJC:] "Best of luck, John. I know you'll do a great job! Send me postcards from jolly ole England!"

[John:] "I definitely will. And I'm looking forward to seeing if the man who wins this upcoming match will agree to defend his Title in the UK's UBL."

*Luke whispers something to Jean and she starts giggling.*

[John:] "DId I say something funny?"

[MJC:] "What the heck is UCK BULL?"

[John:] "I'm sure I have no idea-"

[MJC:] "You may not but at least one group of fans are laughing and 'posting' pretty hard right now! On that note, sorry to Lynn Malloy about not getting you the Tag Title shot I promised. I'm still kinda shocked about OG-Joshi being sold though! Yessiree!"

[John:] "I'm sure the rational among your roster has understood the magnitude of the situation and how you had no part whatsoever in OG-Joshi being sold by Geese to Destiny."

[MJC:] "Asako Matsuki has called me every day to yell at me for not selling it to her. She doesn't get that I don't own OG-Joshi. But I guess Geese won't take her calls."

[John:] "You may want to follow his lead on that one. Miss Matsuki once called to scream at me because I wasn't speaking of RYOMA enough. She even called James Ward with the same complaint. I can only imagine that led to a very 'colorful' conversation."

[MJC:] "To be a fly on the wall, John. To be a fly on a wall."

[John:] "Anyway, let's get back to this match. We have two brothers involved who have no problem fighting each other tooth and nail when the situation calls for it. Despite Markus and Julian appearing close in UBL, the two have battled quite fiercely in other promotions around the world. I have no doubt that either one is capable of forcefully eliminating the other to claim the Title. And a few weeks ago Markus left Julian's side and made it clear he was going to do what he had to do in order to win. Meanwhile, Julian also has both Gene and Corey gunning for him. Julian beat Gene to win the title and had one of the most intense feuds of 2010 with Corey."

[MJC:] "I think that many people still see Julian as the rightful NEXUS Champion so he is going to be the main target here. But I also think that won't matter so much because Corey O'Brian will be walking out of here with the Title regardless of everyone's focus. There's no question in my mind that he wants it the most. He's been shooting for a UBL Title for years and this is his time. And the message he had for his opponents a few weeks ago were of a man determined to win."

[John:] "I'd be inclined to believe you but Markus Caesaro is one of the most dangerous men in professional wrestling. Even though it's true that Matt Rivers defeated him last year, that was in a one on one match. A four way match favors those who can be opportunistic and violent. And I think Markus is the one that embodies those qualities the most."

[MJC:] "We shouldn't forget Julian either. And not just cause I don't want to be rude. But he is one of the few wrestlers on this roster that holds a clean victory over Orochi Geese within the last year and a half. He also came close to winning the FPCPP World Title earlier this year. While he's been going through some somewhat of an identity crisis, it hasn't stood in the way of his UBL performances. He's been very focused and led Perfect Royalty to be one of our most dominant factions. I think Julian's main challenges in this match will be to keep his flashiness to a minimum and avoid being teamed up on by those who may have a bone to pick with him. His main strength will be his sense of opportunism and heart."

[John:] "And though Gene Starr already gave his history, I'd like teo go into into more detail. He is our first and only two time NEXUS Champion. He also was the sole reason that Title was created. He waltzed into UBL calling himself our Champion because we didn't have a traditional pro wrestling championship. While we had our Universal Champion of 2007, Jack Dod, he didn't have to defend his title since the league had ended. And there wasn't another singles league planned til after the Battalion. So much for that, huh? Anyway, Gene happened to be the only wrestler here that was holding traditional singles gold in the form of the legendary M-DWF World Title. But Drake rejected his claim to UBL supremacy and set up a tournament to debut an official non-league Championhip. Gene decisively won that tournament and became our new singels Champion. It was Gene's explanation for what the Title meant that led to it becoming known as the NEXUS Championship. And you know, I think that Title's lineage here really stood up to the high expectations it was given."

[MJC:] "Agreed. Because without Gene Starr, UBL would be a very different place. We would not have drawn in half the talent we have. That is because a lot of singles wrestlers would have been disenfranchised without anything specific to shoot for in between bi-yearly runs, at most, of the Universal Championship league."

[John:] "Exactly. So due to his influence and success in UBL, Gene was hand picked by Arthur Wingate for this match tonight. I think that Gene could beat any of these wrestlers individually. But his reliance on submission wrestling could work against him in a multi-man match like tonight. For him to win, he has to keep the NEXUS Title as his only objective and let the other three get distracted by their issues with each other. If Gene keeps a cool head and stays on his feet, he has a very good chance at winning this. But he will have to adapt his style to the needs and specific flow of the match. You don't want to be on your back, even voluntarily, when someone like Markus Caesaro is stalking around in a bad mood."

[MJC:] "John, you had a front row seat to watch the NEXUS Title division flourish. You were there when the Title was crowned as well as each time it was defended. What do you think, in your expert opinion, was it's defining moment?"

[John:] "Undoubtedly, it was one year ago at OG-FPD Ragnarok when Julian Caesaro very narrowly defeated Corey O'Brian. Corey brought everything he had to that match and nearly knocked out Julian. But shockingly, Julian's instincts and hunger for that Title allowed him to surprise Corey, who thought the match was in the bag, and claim a desperation roll up victory. It just showed what a man was willing to endure to hold onto that Championship. It had barely been in existence for three years at that point, but had clearly become the centerpiece of our promotion. It's fitting that Julian and Corey are both in this match tonight. I know that Arthur Wingate and Drake Yoshida have been very proud of the work of the Field Leader, Matt Rivers. But before Jinchuu came in and wrecked the Circuit shows, the NEXUS Title was the most important Title here. More important then the Field Leader Title and more important then the Battalion Tag Titles. In my view, the NEXUS Title is UBL."

[MJC:] "Great reflection, John. And now it is time to see who bridges the gap as NEXUS Champion between two different eras of UBL. Here we go!"

[MJC:] "What a match! We have a new Champion!"

[John:] "And in dominating fashion!"

[MJC:] "Corey O'Brian has finally done it! He is the new NEXUS Champion!!!"

[John:] "And this time he didn't leave anything to chance against Julian! He hit him with a brutal sequence of a "Kinnuku Buster" and a "Core Meltdown" for the first elimination! It looks like he finally got his revenge on Ceese. Then Corey took out Markus with the same move!! And to fully prove his mastery of different styles, he made the submission expert, Gene Starr, tap out!! Corey's frustration of not winning a UBL title has built up for years and turned into pure, concentrated power tonight."

[MJC:] "We've seen Corey dominate entire Battle Royales before but doing so against three former Champions was a rare feat to behold. Corey has never been shy about his skills over the years and, while I feel he's always backed it up, tonight he truly proved his abilities. Though I do think Gene Starr almost won this match on two occasions. In fact, he had Corey reeling at the end and was a hair away from pinning him!! But Corey, much like Julian did against him, perservered and pulled a victory out. Quite a combination at the end!"

[John:] "Julian, Markus, and Gene each had their moments of dominance but when it came to the pivotal points of the match, Corey was on top of his game. But not only do you have to hand it to Gene for his competitiveness at the end, bu also for coming back after an en entire year outside the ring! Furthermore, he managed to not onlys last til the end, but go toe to toe with Corey. But what Corey did tonight will go down in history in so many ways."

Corey O'Brian (O) ["Core Meltdown" - 15:54] (X) Julian Caesaro
Corey O'Brian (O) ["Core Meltdown" - 17:36] (X) Markus Caesaro
Corey O'Brian (O) ["The Best Sharpshooter In Wrestling" - 20:42] (X) Gene Starr

[MJC:] "And now we turn to a special match where the Los Angeles Women's Lucha, or "LAWL", Opulent Mejor Golden, or "OMG", Title will be on the line."

[John:] "Opulent, major, and golden. Must be worth a lot of bananas."

[MJC:] "If I was a gorilla, I'd love to be paid in bananas. But I don't know what kind of job I could get with that sort of deal, especially in this rough economy."

[John:] "Times are indeed tough...wait, what was all that?"

*Jean shrugs her shoulders as if she doesn't remember either. Luke giggles under his breath and John looks at them both warily. Jean clears her throat.*

[MJC:] "Anyway, I was politely asked by Ruby Moreno to let the fans know that LAWL has hired a new referee. Her name is Paula English and she will be taking over as the new official for Title matches and main events. While I don't know the extent of the situation, there has apparently been some rumblings in the locker room about LAWL owner Gloria Reyes not being as neutral as some wrestlers wanted. So Miss English has been assigned by Destiny, rather then by LAWL. That's a sticky situation but hey, it's not my business."

[John:] "Well from what I've heard, Gloria doesn't have a spotless record with personnel."

*Jean nods but then realizes she's on camera and looks a bit embarrassed*

[MJC:] "You said it, not me."

[John:] "But I think people should realize that when faced with a no win situation, you stood by your wrestlers one hundred and ten percent. Not all owners have done that."

[MJC:] "I appreciate the support, John. But let's talk about more positive things, like what is set to be an incredible match right now! We have the long time OMG Champion, Jenny McLanahan, defending her Title against one of my favorite wrestlers, and people, Kat Black!!

[John:] "Mr. Clyde's favorite, too."

[MJC:] "Figaro go to you, didn't he?"

*John looks down and appears ashamed.*

[John:] "Uh, guilty as charged."

*Jean laughs and looks over to see Luke involuntarily cup stacking.*

[John:] "So to get back on track, fans may be curious as to what a LAWL match is doing on this show. Orochi Geese doesn't own LAWL and it was actually a competitor to OG-Joshi."

[MJC:] "There are two reasons for this match, John. One is based on events outside of the ring. Orochi Geese invited LAWL to be a part of this show because he regrets how he and Holly treated them in the past. From insulting their wrestlers to keeping their shows from airing due to legal manipulation, Geese was not very kind to LAWL because of Holly's desire to wipe it out of existence. Both of them regret their behavior and wanted to offer a token of apology here."

[John:] "One really has to respect the graciousness of giving them an entire match on the farewell show of his promotions. Especially since we know what LAWL Title matches are capable of. Some have even claimed that LAWLiday main events eclipse OG-Joshi ones. To allow LAWL to steal the show here is a gutsy move for a man who wants his promotions to claim immortality. "

[MJC:] "Well, upstaged tonight or not, I believe OG-Joshi and UBL will live on forever. But I have heard the claims of LAWL's superiority and can't necessarily argue. Obviously to each their own but I've considered certain LAWL Title matches to be better then certain OG-Joshi ones. I've never tried to compete with LAWL but viewed it as a fellow promotion to make the overall business better. Plus, we have always shared talent I wish their roster well. But with all due respect, I haven't seen a match better then Visper Karr vs. Kat Black in a long, long time."

*Jean blushes*

[MJC:] "Then again, Luke and Marauder beating Mills and Bodyguard man was pretty cool too!"

*Jean kisses Luke on the cheek and he blushes*

[John:] "I think everyone is entitled to their own opinions when it comes to their favorite matches."

[MJC:] "I totally agree. Now, the other reason for this match is based on some of the things that have happened inside the ring in both OG-Joshi and LAWL. Jenny defeated Ruby Moreno for the OH EM GEE TItle two years ago at LAWLiday. While Kat has dabbled successfully in LAWL, she really has considered OG-Joshi to be her home promotion for the last few years. So to some, her presence in this Title match may be odd. But Ruby Moreno stole Kat Black's spot in the OG-Joshi World TItle earlier this year. I think that just about everyone involved in making this match felt that Kat deserved this opportunity."

[John:] "Ok, here's what I want to know. Whoever wins this match...will they eventually face the winner of the OG-Joshi World TItle match, scheduled for later tonight? Are they going to unify the Titles for OG-JAWLshi or whatever its going to be called?"

[MJC:] "I think that's a very good question. So good that I don't have the answer for it! The Destiny Corporation is going to fully own OG-Joshi. But the Reyes family still own LAWL despite it being partially funded by Destiny! So whether the two parties will decide to unify the promotions or keep them seperate is really anyone's guess. My guess is that they will be combined in some way: even if the temporarily unified roster is then split into a Voltage and Amplitude situation which sorts veterans and rookies. It's way too big of a waste for Destiny to have influence in both promotions but keep them totally separate. There are so many dream matches to be had!"

[John:] "You'll excuse me if I don't order the PPV where Sandy Morton takes on Los Platanos."

[MJC:] "Why would Sandy-"

[John:] "Never mind. So have Kat and Jenny ever wrestled before?"

[MJC:] "No, this will actually be their first time."

[John:] "That won't be said during Sandy's promo against Los Platanos..."

[MJC:] "Wait, do you know something I don't know? Is there backstage heat?"

[John:] "Well the bananas are microwaved."

[MJC:] "And I think you may be coming down with a fever!"

[John:] "LAWL fever. So who do you see winning this match between Kat and Jenny?"

[MJC:] "Jenny is the total package in the ring. She can beat you in every way possible: submissions, strikes, suplexes, and flashy pins. I still remember when she defeated Kaori NiGHT in OG-Joshi by reversing Kaori's running Samoan Drop flip thingy into a twirly pin."

[John:] "How could you not remember a situation so creatively described!?"

[MJC:] "I know! it was great to watch and even more fun to describe! So we know Jenny can straight out go in the ring. She is the only wrestler since 2005 to hold a singles win over Ruby Moreno. I mean, that's pretty substantial right there. She also came within a hair of beating Holly for the OG-Joshi World Championship a few years ago. Jenny McLanahan is not intimidated and does not give up. It's going to take more then the traditional effort to put her away."

[John:] "And Kat?"

[MJC:] "As close as Jenny got to defeating Holly for the OG-Joshi World Title. Kat came even closer to beating Visper for it at Ragnarok. She fell a little short but there wasn't a person in that arena who didn't see her raise her game to true main event level. And with all due respect to Jenny, I'm not entirely sure if she could defeat Visper right now, to be honest. But Kat came as close as one could to doing that and probably could if given a rematch."

[John:] "Of course, how the two match up against a third wrestler isn't exactly the measure of how they will do agaisnt each other, but it's something to take account when discussing this."

[MJC:] "Exactly. I mean this is all prediction right now anyway. But getting into Kat's weapons, she is a better striker then Jenny. Jenny has some good kicks and chops but Kat's kicks put down Narai Kaeo. Kat is also just a bit more agile and more adept at high flying then even the lucha influenced Jenny. I also think Kat's signature suplexes have more impact then Jenny's do. But the one area I would give Jenny the definite advantage is in her submissions. kat has two very effective submissions but Jenny can make you tap out within seconds of grabbing your arm."

[John:] "That is definitely true. Most wrestlers end matches with Jenny having their arms hanging limply from their sides. She assaults that arm in a way few other wrestlers do."

[MJC:] "In OG-Joshi, the only wrestler I would say is more effective at submissions then Jenny is Haley Cannon, and she's in a class all of her own. Jenny isn't quite there but I don't see any shame in being second best to Haley Cannon in terms of submissions."

[John:] "Not to go on a big tangant but how is Haley Cannon feeling?"

[MJC:] "She was actually set to return to OG-Joshi at Destiny Unknown, John. But now she is weighing her options. I don't want to say anything specific but she actually has a few radical ideas for where she goes next. Personally, I kinda hope she shows up in LAWL to teach Ruby a lesson."

[John:] "That would be quite a match."

[MJC:] "But back to Jenny and Kat, this is anyone's match. Kat has to watch her arms, Jenny has to keep Kat on the ground. Jenny has to watch her legs, Kat has to keep Jenny off balance. This can play out in so many different and interesting ways."

*Luke whispers to Jean and she nods.*

[MJC:] "Luke says we'd have to run like a random number generator or something to determine all the different ways this match can go! Very observant, Luke!"

[John:] "Uh, ixnay on andom-ray-"

[MJC:] "Anyway, I think we're ready to get down to business. Both women are in the ring after receiving incredibly ovations from the crowd. They shake hands and we're set!"

[John:] "And just to be clear, Mr. Kisiera was just using an analogy to talk aboot-"

[MJC:] "Simmer down, John. It's cool."

*The three laugh nervously and the match begins*

[John:] "What a finish!"

[MJC:] "Kat went all backwards flip and then forward flip and LAWL got a Title flip!"

[John:] "I don't think Jenny saw that coming at all. She was recovering from that powerful reverse frankensteiner and felt Kat going for a similar style move. Either Kat tricked Jenny from the start or readjusted mid move to throw her off. Jenny did not see the forward roll Mysteriorana coming at all though and Kat pulled off a brilliant manuever to keep Jenny down!"

Kat Black (O) [Mysteriorana - 17:22] (X) Jenny McLanahan

[MJC:] "It's rare to see Jenny get outwrestled but that's exactly what happened at the end here. Kat cleanly pinned her in the middle of the ring after two manuevers that started the same but ended totally different. I think that was a brilliant way to keep Jenny down since neither of the two wrestlers were able to use their signature moves to win."

[John:] "In a match like this, both wrestlers are ready for each other's signature moves so it often means that one wrestler has to improvise in a key situation to get the win."

[MJC:] "I've seen Visper do that a number of times to beat her opponents. People expect the running face kick and end up being rolled up in the middle of the ring with no way to escape!"

[John:] "Jenny likely expected another reverse frankensteiner and in over committing to reversing it, allowed Kat the opportunity to fully throw her off balance to get the pin. A brilliant maneuver from the new LAWL OMG Champion, Kat Black."

[MJC:] "I want to say that too! The new LAWL OMG Champion, Kat Black! Yea!"

[John:] "So how's this for a measure of retribution? Kat just cleanly defeated the woman who cleanly defeated Ruby Moreno, after Ruby cheated Kat out of her Title shot."

[MJC:] "Sometimes the universe has a way of making things right."

[John:] "And the fans definitely agree with that as they are giving both women a standing ovation. That was really quite a match, Jean."

[MJC:] "Well, it didn't hurt that both wrestlers are in OG-Joshi too!"

[John:] "That is definitely true. They were there first, as well."

[MJC:] "Kat Black almost won a LAWL Title in the past. She was set to defeat Grace Reyes for the 1337 Title but was cheated by Lucky Lupe. But tonight, Kat cleanly defeated one of the absolute best wrestlers in the world to win the coveted OMG Title and I couldn't be happier for her!"

[John:] "You definitely seem pleased."

*MJC looks to be getting emotional again...in her emotions.*

[MJC:] "You know, Kat had a difficult time when she first got to OG-Joshi. People didn't trust her because of the antics of other masked wrestlers. But she gradually won everyone over to see the kind of incredible person she is. So seeing her win a major Title after an incredible match is truly one of the best things we can hope for on what is to be the final OG-Joshi show. Especially after coming so close to beating Visper at Ragnarok. Much like Corey O'Brian did tonight, Kat just became a legend by winning the Title after beating a worthy Champion."

*Jean takes a second or too to calm down and wipes her eyes with a tissue. John waits for her to get her composure back and then continues.*

[John:] "So Jean, in case we didn't talk about OG-Joshi enough during the last match, now we'll make sure to. *Jean laughs* Because our next match-"

[MJC:] "Is for the OG-Joshi World Championship!"

[John:] "Someone's excited!"

[MJC:] "Any time that TItle is on the line, it's a major occasion. Especially tonight. Visper Karr gets her rematch against the woman who concealed her identity to win the title, Ruby Moreno. Not only that, but we also have two other competitors in this match!'

[John:] "Am I correct in that you alone chose the participants here?"

[MJC:] "Yessiree! Ruby didn't even put up a fight! I was shocked, especially since her sister Rose is one of the participants!!"

[John:] "Now...you don't have to answer this but-"

[MJC:] "To prove a point to Ruby, yes. She knows it and I know it and I'm not going to lie when it's obvious what's going on here. But I want to make something clear, I'm not doing this to be vindictive. I'm genuinely doing this to teach Ruby a lesson."

[John:] "It kinda sounds vindictive when you put it like that but that's not your style."

[MJC:] "I want to show Ruby that her sister is far more worthy then she has alleged. I want to show Rose that she belongs in a wrestling ring with her sister. And I want to show the entire world that a Championship is only as credible and prestigious as the legitimate opportunities to challenge for it that the various wrestlers on the roster get."

[John:] "Speaking of that, another wrestler is also getting quite a big opportunity here. Professor Molly Cule is in her first OG-Joshi Championship match tonight."

[MJC:] "When Visper was still World Champion, she faced Molly in a non-title match. And wowzers, Molly almost won!! She had just been in OG-Joshi for a few months and almost beat the Champ! So I don't think there's any doubt what Molly can do. And she's had great success in the ESTRELLA promotion as well, so she's no stranger to Championship gold. She also has a bone to pick with Ruby Moreno after a small war of words broke out earlier this year."

[John:] "I like Molly's inclusion here. But, to ask a potentially tough question here, Jean."

[MJC:] "Bring it on!"

[John:] "We all agree that Visper fully belongs in this match as the former Champion who never got her rematch. We can see how Molly is at the level of competition of Visper and Ruby, despite not being in OG-Joshi for long. Having almost beat Visper, she has a claim here."

[MJC:] "It's not just that. John, I didn't really discuss any of this publicly but had Ruby stole the Title, I was going to hold a Tournament to create a new one. And Molly was going to be the third seed, right behind Visper and Kat. Kat, of course, having deserved a Title shot that was stolen from her. Out of all the wrestlers who Ruby didn't somehow screw over by stealing Kat's spot, Molly was at the top of the list in my view. And I really expected great things out of her this year."

[John:] "That's very illuminating, Jean. And it's also really reassuring to see that you had a specific plan to deal with Ruby taking the Title. You were in control throughout."

[MJC:] "I'd like to think I was. Fact is, John, the second Ruby stole the Title after refusing to defend it, it would have become worthless. So we would have needed a new Title and what better way then to allow everyone on Voltage to compete for it? Ruby wasn't beating us, John."

[John:] "Wow, I gotta say, Jean. For the most polite person I've ever met, you can be tough as nails."

*Jean laughs and then winks at John.*

[MJC:] "So then, how about you ask that tough question you wanted to?"

[John:] "Well, with all you said about Rose, do you really feel she earned this shot too? I understand you wanting to prove something to Ruby. But this is the last OG-Joshi match ever under the OG-FPD banner. Do you really feel that someone who only wrestled around three matches here belongs in this kind of spotlight with these stakes?"

[MJC:] "John, if it wasn't for Rose, tonight would be completely different and way more sad. Destiny wouldn't have bought OG-Joshi for as much as it did and Holly wouldn't be better. Listen, I'm not an expert on in ring competition. I can't say exactly how good Rose is compared to the other three in this match, or the entire roster. What I can say, though, is that Rose saved OG-Joshi in her own way. And rewarding that means more to me then giving this shot to someone like Narai Kaeo who has more wins but clearly doesn't care about our spirit."

[John:] "Well said. You may get sued by Miss Matsuki, but well said."

[MJC:] "Also, Rose's accomplishments aren't shielding me from what could happen here. Maybe Rose will get eliminated first, maybe it will happen immediately. What matters more to me is that OG-Joshi as a whole wasn't eliminated by Ruby and Destiny. Not in the way they wanted. And not when they had planned. Yeah, I know that, Ruby. We all do now. Rose kept us on life support and allowed Holly to be taken off life support to be healthy again. And maybe not everyone on the roster appreciates that but, without Rose Moreno, things would be far worse then they seem right now. She earned her spot in this match. And personally, I think she's going to show that her skills are far better then anyone could have imagined."

[John:] "A very strong answer, Jean."

[MJC:] "It's just amazing to me how one Moreno represented OG-Joshi in the face of the Moreno who sought to destroy it. And even though integrity is its own reward, a spot in this match couldn't hurt too. Now, as for who I think will win-"

[John:] "I'm assuming you're bound to be impartial and can't answer-"

[MJC:] "Oh I can, and I will, John! I'm impartial in that I haven't put molasses on Ruby's boots and sent a herd of horses after her! But I'll tell you who I think will win!"

*John laughs as Jean realizes she's being a bit too pushy and blushes.*

[MJC:] "Sorry, sorry. The emotions are getting to me. But in my view, Visper Karr is the best wrestler in the world. No offense, hun."

*Jean kisses Luke on the cheek again and he's happy for the attention.*

[MJC:] "She's still the World Champion, in my eyes. And she's most likely going to formally reclaim that Title tonight. If you heard what she said last week you know why she is the epitome of an OG-Joshi World Champion and I believe she will regain it tonight.

[John:] "If she didn't, who would?"

[MJC:] "I think Molly has a real shot here. I know things are tough for her and her friends right now in ESTRELLA and Super NOVA. In fact, due to Geese's contracting of the Wrestler Tron, we all learned some of the hardships that those promotions are currently experiencing: Conquest by the Demon Army, social media domination, and a super vitamin drink that makes Dr. Schassberg's formulas look like garden variety sugar water."

[John:] "That's a bold statement."

[MJC:] "It's even stronger then Orochi-O's brand sugar water!"

[John:] "Even bolder."

[MJC:] "I hope Molly was able to come into this match with a clear head. If she has, then there's a real chance she can win this. Much like we predicted Gene Starr's success in the NEXUS match would come from his neutrality with the other wrestlers, the same can be said for Molly."

[John:] "And even though Gene didn't win, he did make it to the end. I do believe part of that success came from him being clever enough to keep out of the way of the Caesaro's war with eacb other and with Corey O'Brian. Gene played it smart and it did help him."

[MJC:] "Exactly. Now, there is a wrinkle here. Like I said before, Molly and Ruby did exchange some strong words in the past. But I think we're dealing with a case of that being overshadowed by the YEARS of sisterly rivalry between the Morenos and the anger Visper has toward Ruby. Yeah, Molly may dislike Ruby, but Rose has had her life turned upside down by her. Visper too. Molly did have that one match with Visper but there was nothing but respect exchanged from that encounter. Molly and Rose have no issues at all. So If Molly can use her scientific mind to stay neutral and detached from those rivalries, she could take this."

[John:] "Or at least write a dissertation about how she couldn't."

[MJC:] "Get some grant money, Molly!! As for Ruby, look, she's incredibly talented. I've never played that fact down at all. That's one of the reasons her actions have always bothered me so much. With all due respect to Holly, I used to say that Ruby acting the way she did was worse then Holly cause Ruby could actually back it up in the ring. And hey, I overstated that against Holly but I do think Ruby's in ring abilities eclipsed Holly's and just about everyone's except for Visper's, Jenny's, and Kat's. And even then, Ruby is just about even with them. So can she walk out of this match as the World Champion? Yes. She definitely can. She has the in ring abilities to do that. I've never doubted that. Can she win tonight? Yes."

[John:] "Honestly, Jean, that match she had with Narai Kaeo was crazy. Narai was battering her, almost criminally, for 15 minutes but Ruby rebounded and put her away with that Quartz Cutter. I think she could be the most talented wrestler in OG-Joshi and LAWL combined."

[MJC:] "I think a good argument can be made to support that. But she's gonna have problems here. Her mind is too focused on her sister and she has VIsper gunning for her. Ruby could beat any of these three wrestlers individually, much like Gene Starr could, but this is too much for her. And Visper has the clearest mind going into this match."

[John:] "I agree about Visper but not totally that Ruby is totally overwhelmed. The woman has a determination that is creepy. She kept taking Narai Kaeo's kicks to the head and didn't go down. She wanted, no, she needed to win. And she needs to win here so that she can triumphantly take the World Title to Destiny. This is all part of her plan, or her revised plan given what you said earlier, and I honestly think she's going to do it."

[MJC:] "As for Rose, I don't know how this plays out afterward. With Destiny owning OG-Joshi and influencing LAWL, Rose is at Ruby's mercy for employment. That is, unless, Rose wins tonight. She'd have to be a part of the roster if she was the new World Champion!"

[John:] "That would be a shock to Ruby. I don't know how she'd even handle that."

[MJC:] "Not well, John. Not well."

[John:] "Otherwise-"

[MJC:] "I've already begun speaking to my friends in other promotions to find Rose work. Some place where Ruby has absolutely no influence. Rose is a great wrestler. A young one that still needs more experience, but she has at least all the raw talent that her sister does. I hope Rose gets the chance to take her career as far as she can go. And if she can perform well tonight, I'm sure she'll get a spot offered to her somewhere else."

[John:] "Have Rose and Ruby ever wrestled before?"

[MJC:] "No. Other then maybe near a cookie jar or something."

[John:] "What was that about the Rookie Jar?"

[MJC:] "I hope Furis is ok."

[John:] "Me too. I suppose. Anyway, this could get pretty heated between Rose and Ruby.. Who knows how the two are going to respond to each other, after years of tension, now that they'll be doing battle for the same prize? And after Rose short-circuited Ruby's plan?"

[MJC:] "I guess we're going to have to find out. But it makes me feel comfortable knowing that Ruby and Molly are there. Even though they want to win, they are also good people. And if they see Rose is getting in any kind of serious trouble, they'll 'redirect' Ruby's attention."

[John:] "With a kick to the face, from Visper, most likely."

[MJC:] "If necessary."

[John:] "Ha. So, all the wrestlers are in the ring now. Gotta hand it to Ruby for not having a showy entrance but just walking down to the ring on time. Jean, you ready for this?"

[MJC:] "No, not at all. AS much as I like the odds for a new Champion, I don't really want to sit here and watch the final OG-Joshi match ever. This is torture for me, John. One of the saddest days of my life. I really wish this wasn't happening. But, I'm comforted knowing that there are good things that will follow for me, thanks to Luke over here. And I know every wrestler in this match and promotion will go onto bigger and better things too. So..."

*Jean stands up from the announce booth with a microphone. She looks at the crowd and then at the wrestlers in the ring.*

[MJC:] "Let's do this, OG-Joshi. Let's go out like true Champions."

*She blows her coach whistle and the timekeeper rings the bell.*

*Jean looks shocked for a few seconds but then a tear rolls down her cheek and she starts getting really excited.*

[MJC:] "OMG!! OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!"

*Jean kisses Luke full on the lips then jumps out of her chair. She runs into the ring to hug Molly and Visper, and then raises Visper's hand. She grabs a microphone.*

[MJC:] "THIS was OG-Joshi!! This was the best final match I could imagine!! Rose beat Ruby!! Visper and Molly just wrestled their hearts out! Come on fans, show them some love! Show them what they have meant to you! Show them you won't forget!"

*The crowd goes nuts for Jean's raw emotion and they follow suit. Jean hops up and down as Visper, still quite tired from the match, smiles at her. Rose comes back to the ring and hugs Jean, whispering something to her which gets another tear from Jean's eye to drop. Rose and Molly shake Visper's hand and then go to the back. Jean takes the OG-Joshi World Title from the referee and, with tears in her eyes and massive applause, hands it to Visper Karr.*

[MJC:] "Ladies and gentlemen, your final real OG-Joshi World Champion: 'The Queen of Kick,' Visper Karr!"

*Visper hugs Jean and mouths: "Thanks Mean Jean" and the two walk backstage. They are joined by Luke who has his arm around Jean on the way.

[John:] "I think Jean will be back, folks. She got swept up in the emotions and, as the still reigning OG-Joshi Coach, has a right to celebrate what may end up being the best match of the night. Molly and Visper put on an incredible show toward the end of this encounter. And you gotta hand it to Rose Moreno for pulling off the upset of the night, if not year, by pinning her sister who was the OG-Joshi World Champion at that time! After all that Ruby went through to keep Rose down, after all that she said to doubt her abilities, Rose just defeated her in the middle of the ring. eliminating her from this match and forcing a Title change. Destiny may be Rose's favorite word but irony certainly controlled tonight."

Rose Moreno (O) [Gannosuke Clutch - 15:54] (X) Ruby Moreno
Visper Karr (O) [Rolling Prawn Hold - 19:19] (X) Rose Moreno
Visper Karr (O) [Tiger Driver - 23:45] (X) Molly Cule

*We take a commercial break to advertise the new UBL and the new OG-Joshi, respectively. Each commercial is very slickly produced and thanks OG-FPD for its legacy. When we return, Jean and Luke are back in the booth with big smiles on their faces.*

[John:] "Back so soon?"

[MJC:] "It would be rude for me not to return!"

[John:] "You wouldn't want to miss out on our next match either."

[MJC:] "Haha, that's for sure. Even though Visper winning was the the clear highlight of my night, the next match should be the most fun and less stressful."

[John:] "Cause you're not in a match to face a Goose."

[MJC:] "Very true."

[John:] "And 'original recipe' Orochi Goose is just one of the combatants here in tonight's special 'Fun is Fun' Battle Royale. He's representing Orochi-O's Inc. UBL will be represented by Parachute Rousseau and Ralph "Pot Belly" Ferguson."

[MJC:] "I'm surprised he's awake even 3 weeks after Thanksgiving!'

[John:] "I'm sure he was promised an even bigger meal if he wins tonight."

[MJC:] "But that will be a tall order with the talent in the ring. OG-Joshi will be represented by DARKNESS Diva and Yaoi of Team Chuu Chuu!

*Jean makes 'choo choo' noises*

[John:] "Diva is an interesting choice here."

[MJC:] "It was hard to find wrestlers in OG-Joshi that had the same mentality as the ones chosen by UBL and LAWL but I know Diva has to have a sense of humor given what she's put up with over the years. Both Yuri and Yaoi of Team Chuu Chuu are fan favorites but I thought Yuri's style would compliment many of her quick opponents in this match."

[John:] "And LAWL's participants consist of a potato, a banana, and a piece of broccoli."

[MJC:] "Good nutrition, John."

[John:] "Indeed. Plus I am reminded that LAWL's initial exposure on a national level was its potato vs. banana rivalry so it's only fitting they'd be here. And I believe Lord Broccoli has become the single greatest threat to LAWL posed by a vegetable ever. Whether that means it's a choking hazard or triggers some kind of food allergy is really not quite clear to me."

[MJC:] "Chew your food thoroughly, kids!"

[John:] "So who's your prediction to win this?"

[MJC:] "The fans! Fun is fun!"

[John:] "That's probably the best prediction for a match full of such interesting...possiblities."

[MJC:] "I wanted to have LOLCat in this but once I heard a Goose was involved..."

[John:] "Wise choice."

[MJC:] "But let's sit back and enjoy some of the light hearted fun that UBL, OG-Joshi, and LAWL have featured over the last few years. I don't know if that vibe will continue in the new UBL or under Destiny's control in LAWL and OG-Joshi. Though it would be shocking if they deemed everyone's favorite potatoes to be too unhealthy for their cause and the fans morale."

[John:] "A fed cutting carbs? Sounds par for the course these days."

[MJC:] "Let's get to the match!"

Order of elimination:

DARKNESS! Diva (O) [Over the Top - 7:42] (X) Patata Frita
Orochi Goose (O) [Over the Top - 12:09] (X) Yuri
DARKNESS! Diva (O) [Over the Top - 14:13] (X) Platano Cascara
DARKNESS! Diva (O) [Over the Top - 15:28] (X) Lord Broccoli
DARKNESS! Diva (O) [Lightning Cradle - 17:00] (X) Parachute Rousseau
Orochi Goose (O) [Over the Top - 17:41] (X) DARKNESS! Diva
Orochi Goose (O) [Over the Top - 19:03] (X) Pot Belly

[John:] "Although Patata Frita got eliminated first, what happened to Parachute Rousseau thirteen minutes into the match clearly made him the biggest victim here."

[MJC:] "Eep, I won't even comment on that. But I will gladly point out that OG-Joshi's very own DARKNESS! Diva actually got more eliminations then anyone else!! What a display for Diva in her final appearance in an OG-FPD promotion! Good job!"

[John:] "That was very impressive. She even tied up Rousseau, though he may have just wanted to get out of the match at that point after the horrors he had experienced."

[MJC:] "Even though Goose won, Ralph Ferguson came very close. Gotta hand it to him."

[John:] "First time Orochi Goose refused to get eaten-"

[MJC:] "Moving right along, John."

[John:] "Sorry, sorry."

[MJC:] "No, it's ok. Considering we're up to the main event, a few jokes to brace us all may not be the worst thing."

[John:] "I feel slightly better now about my offbeat joke."

[MJC:] " Folks, it is now time for the encounter between Orochi Geese and Kyle Walker. The last match ever put on by UBL or OG-FPD. And perhaps the most violent."

[John:] "It seems strange to condense this match into our usual pre-match commentary. Just about everything Geese has done since he returned to the US pro wrestling scene in 2002 has led to this moment. But the most obvious cause of this match is Geese's relationship with Kyle's sister, Robin "Holly" Walker. Geese and Holly were on and off for years but are together for good now. However, Kyle absolutely hates the corrupting influence that he has alleged Geese had on his sister. He hates how Geese allegedly allowed Holly to get hurt at Ragnarok last year. And he will do anything he can to break Geese and Holly up and keep him out of her life."

[MJC:] "I never thought the words 'empathy' or 'patience' were high in Geese's vocabulary but he has shown both in remarkable qualities in his reaction to Kyle's motivations. This is even more shocking given Kyle's orchestrated attack on Geese early this year that left him in the hospital for months. Kyle's "Jinchuu" campaign was waged to get revenge on Geese but Geese has forgiven him provided Kyle is willing to drop this war. But he also realizes that Kyle may need one direct one on one confrontation so they can both put their issues behind them."

[John:] "For his part, Kyle did not express any desire to put those issues behind him. He just wanted to fight Geese one more time. To Kyle, if this is their last time fighting, it's cause he puts him out of action permanently. I have no idea how violent Kyle plans to get but my guess is 'as much as necessary.' Considering the brutality we have seen Kyle's Jinchuu inflict on Geese and other UBL wrestlers, it is hard to imagine what he is going to bring to this match."

[MJC:] "But Geese is not phased. As angry and violent as Kyle is, that is how confident Geese is. He refuses to leave Holly's life and end their relationship. And he has a new level of poise that we never saw before. We've seen arrogance and megalomania from Geese. But we've never seen him so eerily calm and confident in his perception toward this match. And I know exactly why. Because the man sitting next to me has shown the world that the power of love and the heart of a hero can make someone stronger and capable of winning any match, no matter the threat."

*Jean kisses Luke for the umpteenth time this show. He doesn't seem to mind.*

[John:] "So I take it that you believe Geese will win this?"

[MJC:] "Definitely. I know how hard a man can fight to protect who he loves. Also remember that Celes has given him extra guidance for this match. That seals the deal."

[John:] "What about the lingering threat of Jinchuu?"

[MJC:] "It's not lingering anymore. I've been told that Kyle is fighting alone."

[John:] "And Geese?"

[MJC:] "His friends won't interfere in the match but if Kyle tries to do anything ultra violent, I wouldn't expect people to stand down. That goes for Robin, too."

[John:] "So she will be watching this match?"

[MJC:] "No. She told me that she couldn't."

[John:] "Wait...you? She told you? And you listened?'

[MJC:] "We've talked. I'll leave it at that."

[John:] "Wow. So I guess she'll only get involved if her friends tell her what's going on?"

[MJC:] "Yeah, she's kind of the last resort strategy to prevent life threatening violence to either man."

[John:] "You think there's a chance Kyle could get hurt here too?"

[MJC:] "Geese has made a lot of progress the last few months but every man has his limits. If Kyle goes too far and reawakens Geese's violence, he may not be able to reseal it. If both these men fight at their most violent, Kyle doesn't stand a chance. If Kyle fights at his most violent and Geese fights in his current mindset, Kyle doesn't stand a chance."

[John:] "But if Kyle can get Geese to some mentality in between those extremes, Geese could have severe trouble. His biggest problem here could be any kind of confusion or loss of resolve."

[MJC:] "Kyle's resolve already weakened at the funeral. He knows Geese saved his sister even if he still thinks he endangered her. He knows Robin loves Geese. To use his own disturbing language, Kyle knows Robin smiled on Geese as well as Kyle. That's gonna be a problem for Kyle. It's gonna limit him from going as far as he might have gone in the past."

[John:] "But I just have no idea how Geese can put Kyle down. We've seen him kick out of every finisher he has come across, from Thunder Strike's to Marauder's. He's a man possessed."

[MJC:] "He was a man possessed when Robin was hurt. Her recovery had to have humanized him."

[John:] "Remember what he did to Jeremiah Jones before Robin was hurt?"

[MJC:] "I'd rather forget."

[John:] "Exactly. This is Kyle's first one on one encounter in a revenge plot hatched for years. We will not see Kyle at anything other then his worst and most violent. Geese had better watch out here, Jean. I don't like what could happen here. Kyle could either severely hurt him or hit a nerve in Geese to awaken the chaotic beast within, and then Kyle is toast."

[MJC:] "Let's not bring toast into this, it's done nothing wrong!"

[John:] "It probably would have lasted longer then that potato earlier."

[MJC:] "Ouch."

[John:] "So I'm getting word that both wrestlers are getting ready to make their entrances. "

*The fans are standing up on their seats roaring in reaction to this.*

[John:] "I may have given my prediction too early."

[MJC:] "Darn tootin! Kyle is no longer dealing with just Orochi Geese. Ladies and gentleman, welcome to Geese's alter ego from Japan, the legendary Bolt!"

[John:] "The multi-time Universal and Battalion Champion. The man who defined UBL in the 90's."

[MJC:] "During his funeral, Geese claimed that what Kyle faced was invincible. But I don't think anyone, including myself, understood that fully. Geese was stoppable...Bolt may not be. We are not just seeing his old attire in UBL, but shades of his old entire identity. That identity was nearly as invincible as any wrestler could be. The only man who ever defeated him was Thunder Strike. And that was before Geese fell in love with Robin. What we're seeing now is a potent combination of skills, mindset, and drive. I don't think Kyle stands a chance in defeating modern Bolt."

[John:] "Kyle doesn't seem to be intimidated by this though, Jean. If anything, he's excited to be able to finally have the chance to take Geese's legacy down a peg."

[MJC:] "This isn't just his legacy. This is a combination of the best qualities Geese has ever had. The abilities and concentration of Bolt mixed with the love that Geese has for Robin."

[John:] "The question I have left is that of Geese's health and abilities. He said that Celes helped heal him to allow him to wrestle one more match. But that begs the question: Just how much does he have left in the tank? And can he actually wrestle the same way he used to as Bolt? Geese bulked up a lot since his old junior heavyweight days when he was doing flips and kicks. I haven't even seen him do a high kick in years and the super kick was one of Bolt's signature moves."

[MJC:] "I think that Bolt was about mentality and not moves. He was as focused as any man could be and tonight that focus is not on beating Kyle, not hurting him, but proving to him that he'll fight to the fullest for his love of Holly. He'll fight with as much passion as he has for her. And he'll win."

[John:] "It would kinda suck if he didn't given that this is our last show and his final match."

[MJC:] "Yeah but the last year for Geese was spent in a hospital. Happy endings aren't guaranteed in this business, John. If they were, Dizzy would still be wrestling...she'd still be walking."

[John:] "That observation is sadly true. Geese's win isn't academic here. Not after the feats of resilience Kyle Walker has shown off the last year. All in the name of Jinchuu. All in the name of protecting his sister. Geese may be single minded as Bolt, but Kyle is single minded ALL the time. And he has been for the last five years. Geese is putting on a mask tonight but Kyle lived in a mask for five years to deceive Geese in setting the stage for Jinchuu. You talk about Bolt's level of control and focus? What about Kyle's discipline in faking a friendship with Geese, the man he hates more then anyone, to find the perfect time to attack him. Kyle is psychotically single minded. Geese has flirted with psychosis but it ultimately dumped him."

[MJC:] "And then he realized it was for the better. Because psychosis doesn't give good holiday gifts like mistletoe."

*Jean kisses Luke again and the two almost start to make-out (to huge audience cheers) but John clears his throat.*

[John:] "Jean? I think the match is about to start."

*Jean blushes and takes a deep breath.*

[MJC:] " Ok then. Folks, the final OG-FPD match ever is about to occur! Orochi "Bolt" Geese vs. Kyle "Jinchuu Kai" Walker! For the fate of Robin "Holly" Walker's heart! Let's do it!"

[John:] "So...you wanna try to explain what happened there to our confused fans, including me!'

[MJC:] "To start, somehow Bolt kicked out of the Kyle-Driver!!"

[John:] "That alone was astonishing!! But what about everything after!"

[MJC:] "I'm no expert on the finer techniques of swordplay but I think the referee evened the playing field to save Geese's body from permanent injury! Kyle had just grabbed that barbed wire stapler bat contraption from under the ring and was raring to swing for the fences! But the ref handed Bolt what looked to be a kendo stick that he somehow had fit in his outfit."

[John:] "Was that a kendo stick in his pants or was he just happy to see-"

[MJC:] "Ahem, Bolt managed to grab the stick in time to get into a peculiar looking sword stance. Wow, Luke is now telling me that he saw that same sword stance used before by Mr. Clyde and the ref in a sparring session last year. Clyde had called it "Bat Toe"...er "battou" style. Something to do with drawing a sword deceivingly quickly from a sword holder."

[John:] "So even though Geese didn't have a sword holder on his belt, the core principle of that battou stance allowed him to swing the kendo stick in an upward diagonal arc at a rate much faster then Kyle could anticipate or swing his bat."

[MJC:] "Sounds about right! Like I said, I'm no expert on this cutlery stuff and Luke is just going by memory here. But I'm sure Geese has trained before with a sword given his personality and history."

[John:] "Well, then it certainly looks like the Japanese roots of the UBL came back to help Geese just in time! But Jean, I could have sworn my vision got blurry during that sword exchange-"

[MJC:] "As for the swirly stuff, I plead the fifth. Weirder stuff has happened in this building...like ghost goats!"

[John:] "Uh, in any case, Bolt really knocked Kyle close to unconsciousness with that kendo stick strike."

[MJC:] "And for those who wondered how Geese would defeat Kyle without hurting him-"

[John:] "He busted out an entirely new variation of the Raging Bolt!!"

[MJC:] "A move with all it's original impact but without dangerously targeting the neck and head. A 'kindler, gentler' Raging Bolt...done by Bolt! So, is it called the 'Raging Himself'?"

[John:] "Probably not. But between the impact of the kendo stick swing and the new Raging Bolt, he was able to put Kyle away. In fact, for the first time in over a year and a half, Kyle has been decisively pinned and defeated. Orochi Geese, 'Bolt', has won."

[MJC:] "Yeah, but I'd feel much better if he took the mask off already just to prove he isn't Ruby Moreno..."

[John:] "Heh."

Bolt (O) ["Raging Bolt II" - 15:00] (X) Kyle Walker

*Both Bolt and Kyle take a few seconds to recover from the match. As they each start to stand, Robin runs down to the ring. She checks on Kyle to make sure he is ok and he nods in assent. She kisses him on the forehead and helps him up to balance against the corner turnbuckle. Then she runs over to Geese to help him up and kisses him on the lips. She then asks for a microphone, receives one, and addresses the crowd.*

[Robin:] "First off, if you are listening to this, Visper. Good job. Sorry for everything. Same to you, Kat. Two new worthy Champions were crowned tonight. Let's hear it for them!"

*Robin raises her arms up and the crowd follows her in applause.*

[MJC:] "Curiouser and curiouser."

*Robin turns her attention back to Geese and Kyle.*

[Robin:] "Ok, back to my boys over here. Geese, take the mask off already!"

*Geese does just that, confirming his identity and allowing Robin to give him a more intimate kiss. Kyle bristles at this but doesn't attempt anything in response. Robin practically sees his reaction through eyes in the back of her head (i.e. Geese's reaction) and goes over to Kyle, putting her hand on his shoulder.*

[Robin:] "I love you but this whole thing has to stop. Now. If you truly love me, then you have to trust my judgment and respect my decisions. Cause the fact is, if you weren't my brother, I would have kicked your ass pretty badly for what you did to Geese once I found out. I'm still really pissed. And you lied to me for years about how you felt about him and I. Lying is not ok to me. Hurting Geese is especially not okay. Tonight you saw what happens when someone challenges his love and dedication for me. And you're about to see what happens when you challenge my love for him."

*Kyle is shocked as Robin puts him in a loose headlock with 'noogies' like an older sibling would give to a younger one.*

[Robin:] "Now, you're gonna stay out of my love life just like I stayed out of yours. I didn't do anything to stand in your way, what right do you, or anyone, have to stand in mine? That goes for mom and dad too."

*Robin releases the headlock and pats him on the back.*

[Robin:] "You need to listen to this. Cause Geese made me one promise before this match. I didn't understand why he had to wear that silly mask to the ring but he told me that anything that would help focus his emotions and control his violence would be necessary. And that if he was successful in not hurting you...win or lose, that I would know exactly how strongly he feels. You better understand that too. Geese could have wasted you, Kyle. You have no idea how skilled that man is. Anyone that saw him in Japan or GWF remembers that he could do just about any move and often did them all in the same match: Repeatedly!"

*A few laughs emanate from the crowd.*

[Robin:] "But Geese held back to allow you to let your anger and emotions out. He willingly took the Kyle-Driver to allow you to feel the satisfaction in hitting it on him. Even if it broke his neck, he wanted to allow you some measure of closure so that he and I could continue without interference. I told him not to do that, but he did it for YOU. So you better start to respect that. Cause next time you attack him, he's gonna give you a headlock just like I did. Like an older brother would to a younger one."

*Kyle looks confused as Robin pulls a little box out of her pocket.*

[Robin:] "Two minutes before the match, Geese proposed to me."

*The crowd oohs as Robin opens the box and shows a ring (magnified by the Battle Tron) made of a slightly enlarged piece of ~~jagged~~ Orochi-O cereal dipped in gold.*

[Robin:] "The Mills family did Geese the favor of making this for him to give to me. Because he's penniless otherwise. He gave away all his money for my health, his entire life for me. And he told me that he'd change his name and take on ours.

He wants to become a Walker. Geese Walker."

*More ooh'ing is heard.*

[Robin:] "But I told him he can't become a Walker unless my brother walks out tonight healthy and on his own two feet. And he kept his end of the bargain. So Geese...you're my bitch now. Well, you've always been, but we're gonna finally put it in writing."

*Geese smiles and kisses Robin who then takes control and dips Geese.*

[Robin:] "Now Kyle, it's set. Geese and I are getting married. A "marriage made in chaos" or something. Only with less snakes. Don't even think about it, Naja."

[Kyle:] "But-"

[Robin:] "No but's. I love this man and you either accept that, or we're gonna have some problems. You don't want problems with the longest reigning OG-Joshi World Champion ever. You don't want troubles with the former Queen of Bitch-Jitsu. But most of all, you don't want problems with the girl you proclaim to love so much that you injure anyone that looks at me the wrong way. How about you take a page from my book and learn to love in a positive way. Why don't you look at me eye to eye and see that I'm not being reckless in letting Geese into my life even more. Why don't you trust me? And if you don't learn to, then why don't you hit the road? I've had enough naysayers in my life, I don't need one that I actually care about. Because by hurting Geese and standing in our way, you've already done more damage then any of the others, even my parents or Jo Ryder. I won't let you be a weakness anymore."

*Kyle turns pale and falls to his knees.*

[Robin:] "You've lost me twice in your life, Kyle. When I left Deadwood after the incident with Jo, and when I got beaten into a coma by a man you chose for your Jinchuu. Still sure your judgment is better then Geese's? Huh? Now you gotta ask yourself: Are you ready to lose me again? You're on that road.

And the fact is, Geese has done everything I could have asked of him over the last year even though we couldn't communicate. He could have called any of his powerful friends and had you taken out with the snap of a finger. But he didn't...for me.

Now you, you've got some work to do, kiddo. But first, I need to see you put in the effort. I don't expect you to accept Geese right away. But I swear, if you don't shake his f'n hand right now, I'll send you a one way ticket back to South Dakota and maybe a Goosemas card in 2 years if I'm feeling friendly. You got that?"

*Kyle looks wide-eyed and goes to rush to Geese with a punch but Robin cuts him off with a hard and loud slap to the face, sending him on his ass. Robin is initially disturbed by her own response but shakes it off and gets in Kyle's face.*

[Robin:] "No, this is not his fault. it's yours. Listen to what I'm saying. This is all your doing. Geese and I have made our mistakes and we're learning to apologize for them. Now it's your turn. You walk up to him like a man and admit you went too far. Then you shake his hand. Then you apologize to me and the entire audience for your reign of terror.

Then you dye your hair or something, it's a mess up there, old man. Are we clear?"

*Kyle doesn't know what to do. Robin sighs and offers her hand to pick him up off the ground and he takes it. But he still seems confused.*

[Robin:] "Change doesn't happen for anyone over night, Kyle. It didn't for me and I don't expect it to for you either. I left Deadwood for the right reasons. Mom and Dad didn't support me so I made a life for myself. I don't regret that choice even if some of the things I did later were wrong. But you don't get to control me any more then Dad thought he could.

So this is your moment of truth, Kyle. The moment of real justice. You either respect me as an individual and honor my love for Geese, or you get to go back home with your tail in between your legs. Want to spend the rest of your life drinking sh*tty swill beer with dad and muttering about us uppity woman types? Or you want to be a part of my life, share in my happiness, and be a real man. If you do, shake that man's hand. Otherwise, Immortal won't just be Geese's last match, it will be the last time you ever see me. Celes can make that happen. You can't find us where she would take us."

*Kyle starts hyperventilating. He leans himself against the ropes and takes a deep breath. After a few seconds, he slowly walks over to Geese. He can't will his hand to offer it up so Geese takes the initiative and offers his instead. Still, Kyle can't will his hand up so Geese uses his own hand to slowly clasp Kyle's. After a few seconds, Kyle shakes it lightly. Geese slowly puts his hand on Kyle's shoulder and nods to him. Kyle's grasp strengthens just a bit to allow him to shake Geese's hand a bit more confidently.*

*Geese looks in Kyle's eyes then nods at Robin. She walks over and places her hand on Kyle's shoulder, whispering something to him. The dam finally bursts with tears flowing down Kyle's cheeks while she hugs him. The crowd heavily applauds Kyle as his expression has turned human again.*

[MJC:] "Wow, that was intense."

*Geese, Robin, and Kyle all raise their arms in celebration.*

*Kyle slowly walks up to Geese and offers to shake his hand again which Geese does with a smile and a pat him on the back. Kyle goes to leave the ring and gestures Geese and Holly to enjoy the spotlight one last time.*

[John:] "So folks, it looks like Jinchuu is now officially over."

[MJC:] "Not just that, but Geese and Robin are getting married! Luke, looks like we have another huge ball to go to! Hopefully there will be more mistletoe!"

*Luke takes something out of his pocket, holds it over Jean's head, and they kiss.*

[John:] "And the start of a new chapter appears to be symbolizing the end of an old one."

*Geese holds his mask up then kneels down in the middle of the ring.*

*Geese and Robin look at the mask in the middle of the ring and then walk up the ramp, leaving the mask behind. We hear a tearful voice coming from Jean on commentary.

[MJC:] "We just witnessed the end of yet another era tonight. So, I guess that's it, folks. I gotta get out of here before my tears stain the new blouse Luke got me for Goosemas."

[John:] "A merry Goosemas to all, and to all, a good night."

[MJC:] "So For John Randolph, Luke Kisiera, and the entire rosters of UBL and OG-Joshi, this is Jean Carter wishing you all the happiest of lives and the sincerest of thanks for welcoming us into your homes over the years. I urge you all to check out the other great pro wrestling promotions in the world today and to remember all the lessons learned here. No matter how many mistakes you make in your life, you can always get yourself back on the right track if you really want to do so and have friends to help you.

Because there is absolutely no underestimating...the heart of a hero. Bye-e!"

*Geese and Robin continue slowly walking down the entrance ramp.

Right before they exit through the backstage curtains, they pose for the crowd one final time.*

*The focus remains on their pose and then freeze frames, and turns to sepia. The image then fades to white as these three promotions finally accept their place in professional wrestling among the immortality of professional wrestling history.*

My sincerest gratitude to everyone who has watched, discussed, and participated in these promotions over the last 8 years. UBL, OG-Joshi, and LAWL have now officially closed, but the overall OG-FPD "playground" is still open and will offer "fantasy" shows in the future. Everyone's contributions to this world will always be fondly remembered and deeply treasured by me.

Thank you,
- Orochi Geese

Orochi Geese's Funeral

2011-10-27T17:32:00.004-04:00

*We fade into a packed but silent crowd in the Universal Battle Chamber of the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena. There is eerie synthesized piano music playing in the background while the Battle-Tron has "Welcome to Orochi Geese's funeral" in calligraphic writing on the screen.

There is a black casket, lined with gold, on the floor of the entrance ramp that has consumed everyone's disgusted attention. On the top of the casket is an upside down Orochi symbol in white gold.

The backstage curtain opens up and five men walk to the ring: four of them with their own will: Jakob of Furis, James Ward, Kyle Walker, and Jason Hyde. Furis has a red shirt under his black suit but Jason and Kyle are wearing all black similar to what Kyle wore when he announced this event. James Ward is wearing a "tuxedo shirt" with a top hat. Sergeant Drake Yoshida is among these men but clearly not on his own volition. He is being pushed down the ramp by James and Furis.

Kyle and Jason get on one side of the casket while Furis and James get on the other. They lift it and walk it down to ringside, then slide it into the middle of the ring. Then they walk up the stairs and pass through the ropes single file. They each stand in the four corners of the ring with Drake leaning up against the ropes but too scared to try to escape.

Kyle gets a microphone and laughs bitterly at the crowd's disgusted reaction.*

[Kyle:] "No, we didn't murder Geese. For those self-professed 'smart' fans of UBL who still haven't caught on, tonight is just symbolic. But that doesn't mean the actual casket is empty."

*James opens the casket and we see pictures of Geese's career along with the GWF TV Title and FPCPP World Championship Title belts.*

[James:] "Hey Goro, if you're watching this, you may want to turn away."

*Furis smiles as James Ward takes out a lighter and hands it to Kyle. He ignites it and throws it into the casket. The four stand in silence, to an unsettled crowd, as everything inside the casket burns. Drake looks angry but is doing his best not to draw their attention to his own reaction. Then Kyle closes the casket and kick slides it onto the floor.*

[Kyle:] "Fire has been said to cleanse the spirit but Geese is far too corrupted for even a conflagration like this to save his soul. All we can hope to do is burn away all remnants of his place on this Earth."

*James leans over the ropes and spits on the casket.*

[Kyle:] "Now you're all probably wondering, just what exactly brought this ceremony on? Was I just being an arrogant son of a bitch and decided we kicked so much ass at Battle Formation that we could come out here and claim that Geese is dead? No. "

[James:] "We did kick ass though."

[Kyle:] "That's besides the point. We didn't bring tonight on, Geese did. Last month he had a cordial meeting in his hospital room, the room we sent him too, with none other then Arthur Wingate and, get this, Ruby Moreno."

*The crowd's volume amps up considerably.*

[Kyle:] "You're right to be surprised. Geese had no heat with Arthur but Moreno? How the hell could those two be in the same room without a fight? And yet, there was no violence. Barely any shouting from what Agent 0 told me. Why was that, you ask?

Cause that son of a bitch Geese just sold every one of you out to escape us."

*There are very confused and concerned murmurs throughout the crowd now.*

[Kyle:] "You're sitting in an arena that is now obsolete. Arthur Wingate is the new owner of UBL and is taking it to England. OG-Joshi? Moreno bought it for Destiny in California. Geese sold his original pride to the woman who wanted to destroy it, the woman who has attacked Robin on numerous occasions. And Orochi-O's? The way he made all his money? He sold that poison too.

And now that we've talked about why Geese is dead to each and every one of us, we're now up to my favorite part of the night, the eulogies. I hope you all got some tissues handy. Especially you, Drake. Try to hold it together you sycophantic son of a bitch."

*Kyle slaps Drake who takes it without any further reaction.*

[Kyle:] "But no funeral is complete without some mood setting music. And I'd like to thank the Rapbots for this fitting 'remix' of Geese's entrance theme. After Matt Rivers' elitism got them fired, they wanted some retribution against the UBL. Cue the music. "

*Kyle passes the microphone to James who wipes his eyes as if he was crying.*

*The crowd is on their feet, not believing what they have just seen! Orochi Geese is back and looks incredibly healthy given the physical and mental injuries he sustained this year. Kyle, James, and Jakob are furious!

James Ward leaves the ring and charges the ramp but doesn't realize Marauder has just come out from behind Geese! James is flattened by the "Inertian Hammer" lariat!! Then Goro Yamashita comes out, to much applause, and helps Marauder drag James to the back!*

*Geese raises his microphone as Kyle seethes in the ring.*

[Geese:] "Rumors of my demise...*Geese smirks* have been greatly exaggerated. I am Orochi Geese and no one, NO ONE, beats me into submission. No one makes me quit. While Kyle has managed to collect some measure of truthful information, he does not have the whole story. You'll all be given that shortly. But first, I think there's something you need to see, Kyle."

*The Battle-Tron turns on to show the infamous picture of the injured Holly at the end of OG-FPD Ragnarok from 2010.*

Old locker room pic!

*Kyle starts shaking the ropes in anger as he protests having to see this again.*

[Geese:] "I don't like reliving that either, but I show it to make a point. For months we were all under the impression that there was no footage in addition to that grisly image. But that is no longer the case. The mystery has been solved.

During our meeting, Miss Moreno informed me that in addition to her 'activities' at the end of Night 1 of Ragnarok, her security team placed hidden cameras inside of all the major locker rooms. Normally, I would have been enraged at that invasion of privacy but I thanked her for the resulting image she turned over to me. I have verified that it was not edited in any way by her, Gauntlet, or Destiny. We now know Robin's attacker, Kyle. So to begin rebuilding a bridge, I have turned him over to you for proper retribution. "

*Kyle's anger dies down a little and is replaced by curiosity. He looks around and laughs.*

[Kyle:] "Did we take your vision too, Geese? There ain't anyone guilty here!"

[Geese:] "Ahh, it is quite a shame that the Jinchuu screening process wasn't stricter."

*Geese points to the Battle-Tron and snaps his fingers, causing the picture to change.*

WHO DUN IT!?

*Humanity doesn't yet have warp drive but Kyle may have just moved at the speed of light to pounce on Jakob of Furis. He starts clawing and biting the downed vampire with reckless abandon and then begins kneeing him in the face. The crowd is unsure how to react to the nightmarish viciousness of this attack in light of the severity of Furis' specific actions and overall behavior.*

[Geese:] "You get 10 more seconds for true Jinchuu against the proper target."

*Kyle continues brutalizing the defenseless Furis who has not raised a hand to stop this. Rather, he has smiled from ear to ear since the footage was shown. After another 10 seconds, Geese raises his hand in an apparent signal. Matt Rivers and Luke Kisiera run down to ringside and, with the help of Drake Yoshida, drags Furis out of the ring. While they prevent Kyle from leaving the rign for a further attack, Furis shrugs off the attack, gets a microphone, and starts cackling.*

[Furis:] "Your sister always called me a joke. Valker! And that tape you showed me of Geese giving me a concussion was doctored! It vas Holly that initiated the whole thing! But it vas her attempt to paralyze Jean Carter at Ragnarok that made up my mind. Holly had to be dealt with. Your Jinchuu was just a convenient cover. But it is over, as is my use for you."

*Kyle tells him to bring it on and Jakob laughs, actually enjoying this.*

[Geese:] "You're 'velcome' to try, Furis, but you don't want to fight a pissed off Walker."

*Furis pushes Matt and Luke away and gets BACK into the ring, but his attempted offense is immediately snuffed by the power Kyle derives from his near psychotic rage. Furis bites Kyle but is immediately tackled to the ground and elbowed in the head. But Furis, despite not being able to get control of Kyle, doesn't appear to feel the pain of the attack. He even verbally taunts him saying: "Your Jinchuu was forged by the blood I harvested." Kyle grabs him by the throat and starts squeezing, cutting off Furis from speaking (or breathing) any more. Geese claps his hands which send Matt and Luke into the ring to knock Kyle off Furis. They once again drag Furis out of the ring but this time, MJC has run down with Dr. Schassberg. The doctor injects Furis with a needle and Furis immediately calms down and is dragged backstage by the four. He even smiles in an almost goofy way and screams out: "I AM A MIGHTY VAMPIRE! FEAR THE MIGHTY FURIS!" The crowd seems to lighten up a bit at that as even MJC smiles at his altered state of mind.*

*Kyle is about to leave the ring to pursue but Geese clears his throat. As a result, Kyle's attention is immediately directed back to him.*

[Geese:] "It is improper for the host of such a formal occasion to leave early. I'll thank you to stay put."

[Kyle:] "What is this, Geese? What the hell are you pulling?"

[Geese:] "Simply telling the truth and clearing up everything that has happened...and everything that will. You were correct earlier. As of January 2012, I will no longer be the owner of all I have built. Last week I sold everything substantial attached to my name."

*The crowd is silenced immediately. Geese even looks at them with legitimate concern as if all of them had just dropped dead.*

[Geese:] "Controlling the Universal Battle League over the past four years was a labor of love and pride. But in January, the Universal Battle League will be operated in England under the ownership and guidance of Sir Arthur Wingate. He has impressively accomplished his stated goal in record time: Bringing the UBL back under the Wingate banner. I am thankful that he has decided to keep Drake Yoshida on in his current Sergeant role. And I am confident that Arthur will do a far better job in emphasizing the core values of UBL, sport and competition, then I did due to my obsession with violence and megalomania. Speaking of megalomania...

OG-Joshi has been sold to the Destiny Organization, under the operation of Ruby Moreno. *The crowd starts booing vociferously* I am fairly certain that she and the Reyes family will merge OG-Joshi and LAWL into a unified whole. *The crowd actually cheers a bit at that* As for those who are concerned about the new power Ruby has, I am reminded of the words of a wise Elwood Allen.

He once said that you can't take over the world by owning a wrestling promotion.

At the time I took that as an affront to my legacy and abilities but he was right. I found out the hard way that by attempting to conquer the world, you make way too many enemies to ever rule anything for very long. And even worse, if you spread your arms too widely to control the world, you must necessarily loosen your grip on what matters most to you. Ruby may be the next direct beneficiary of that knowledge if she truly believes her guiding light of destiny is brighter then the sun."

*Kyle is staring a hole through Geese but is unable to form any words, almost transfixed by what Geese is saying and the implications.*

[Geese:] "Finally. I have sold my Orochi-O's Inc. cereal company to the wealthy Mills Family for top dollar. While I have no particular connection to them, absent Thomas' lackluster UBL career, they are simply a deep pocket for me to maximize my sale profit. And so right now I have more money then an ordinary man would know what to do with. Luckily, I am far from ordinary and have always been well equipped for making intelligent purchases when necessary."

[Kyle:] "Necessary to benefit yourself and only yourself."

[Geese:] "I did not sell everything to make myself more wealthy, Kyle. My business were a gold mine and produced wealth far greater in the long run then the lump sums that I received in each sale. My money has increased but my capital has decreased."

[Kyle:] "Spare me the economics lesson. I meant benefit yourself to avoid facing Jinchuu."

[Geese:] "No. I needed the money for a higher and common purpose. Kyle, have you ever heard of Super NOVA?"

*Kyle reacts through disgust and rolling his eyes.*

[Kyle:] "Don't start on Robin's space sh*t. She wasted her time as a kid looking into the useless science of the stars rather then the reality on Earth. Look at the results!? It corrupted her mind so people like you could manipulate her."

[Geese:] "Your fear and ignorance of rational enlightenment is charming as always. But I refer specifically to a wrestling promotion named Super NOVA. They have a device called the WrestlerTron 10,000."

*A picture of the WrestlerTron appears on the Battle-Tron,*

[Geese:] "While I am insufficiently learned in the physical sciences to fully understand its processes, its goal is to locate any individual who has ever wrestled in a ring. Ever. Even someone who only wrestled once in my promotion and left: promising never to...return."

*"Fields of Fantasy" come onto the speakers as the former OG-Joshi General, Celes, walks onto the ramp. The crowd is in an absolute frenzy of excitement now but Kyle is practically shooting ~~spinning tenzan~~ eye lasers.*

*After the handshake, they share a knowing expression of respect. Kyle is enraged at the sight of the woman who 'broke' his sister.*

[Kyle:] "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THIS!? Do you have Jo Ryder backstage too!? What about Jeremiah Jones?"

[Geese:] "No to the latter two questions. As to the former, I used one third of my new fortune to purchase the right to temporarily use and overclock the WrestlerTron to find Celes. It proved quite difficult but I suppose I have you to partially thank for my success. As luck would have it, my recent stay at the hospital afforded me enough time to reflect on how I knew Celes from my past. Just as I had to hit rock bottom in 2003 before she contacted me the first time, I had to hit rock bottom again for my memories of her to became clear. Once they did, I was enveloped in a sense of shock and an even deeper shame that I ever disrespected her in the manner I did last year. But even more forcefully, I realized she was the answer to many of my questions as she has been so many times in the past."

[Kyle:] "Then, as usual, you were asking the wrong questions."

[Geese:] "Not this time, Kyle. Because Celes is gifted as a healer. I do not know how she did it, I probably never will. But aided by my newfound money, she was able to cure Jeff Monroe. He can walk again. The money used to cure him plus that which I gave his struggling family amounted to the second "one third" portion of the OG-FPD sale money. Now, as for the final 1/3 of my money, it was needed to augment Celes' other project. One that would, in time, solve both of our problems."

[Kyle:] "Vomiting from the sight of her is rarely a long term cure to a problem."

[Geese:] "Fittingly, I do believe there will be an outpouring now, Kyle, but it won't be from the mouth. If it wasn't for Celes... *an actual tear rolls down Geese's cheek* then this might not ever have been able to happen."

*If the crowd was in a frenzy for Celes' return, they blew the roof off the place for the woman who now walks through the ramp and pumps her fists up in celebration. Ladies and gentlemen, Robin "Holly" Walker has entered the arena! She encourages the cat calls from the audience due to her rather immodest wardrobe (and natural color hair). She then hugs and passionately kisses Geese to a deafening reaction.*

*She shakes Celes hand and actually hugs her too (which surprises everyone). Kyle is in disbelief to see his sister and seemingly ignores her displays of affection for his enemies. He has tears in his eyes to see her healthy. Robin runs down the ramp and hugs Kyle who looks like he can't believe what is happening. Geese and Celes slowly walk closer to the ring as Geese raises his microphone again.*

[Geese:] "Now for the hard part. I know Robin's healthy return may not change anything between us, Kyle. But if you are willing to consider putting an end to our hostilities, then I will too. Do understand that I just sold all my possessions in service of the woman we both love."

*Robin begs Kyle to agree to this as Geese walks into the ring, flanked by Celes. Robin tries to join Geese and Kyle's hand together but Kyle pulls his away before contact. He looks conflicted and apologizes to Robin. But he firmly shakes his head no at Geese.*

[Kyle:] "No deal. All you did was just put back what you took away. It's still your fault she was injured and I'm not about to forgive and forget just cause you threw your corrupt money at a problem to make it go away. You're the real problem here. So we're not done, Geese. You can't ever be in her life again cause she'll just end up in another coma because of you. I can't let that stand."

*Geese considers this and shakes his head knowingly. He smiles at Robin and gestures, making it clear he has no intention to attack Kyle.*

[Geese:] "I suspected as much. Then it is only right to inform you of one more health augmentation. Despite your efforts, I am now back to full strength thanks to the abilities of Celes. However, her treatment came on the grounds that I only wrestle one... more... match."

*The crowd buzzes at this and Geese nods to them, confirming what he said.*

[Geese:] "I will grant you one final sporting chance to put your hatred of me behind you, Kyle. After that, I can not guarantee what will happen between us. Robin has not rejected me despite your Jinchuu rationale nor has she fully denounced your actions despite her love for me. By us fighting for an indefinite period of time, we will hurt her far worse then we will each other.

So just as I gave you an additional ten seconds to enact justice on Furis, I will grant you the chance for one final match against me. I make that offer in the hopes that we can both let the extent of our anger out and then leave it all in the ring. If you accept this opportunity, it will take place on the last show I will ever run: The final show that will be held under the Orochi-O's owned, OG-FPD umbrella.

December 13th, 2011...the eighth anniversary of OG-FPD on a show called "Immortal."

Even though my wrestling career and and ownership will be over after that show, the promotions and wrestlers will move on and evolve. My legacy is not dead, Kyle. It encompasses the values and skills our wrestlers have learned here and the entertainment that the fans have derived. it reflects the lessons of what happens when people lose sight of their priorities....but then regain them in the nick of time.

And that's what Immortal is about, Kyle. Regaining our priorities and respecting those we care about. On that note, Drake and Jean will choose the final UBL and OG-Joshi Championship matches. Ruby Moreno has even agreed to defend her OG-Joshi World Title before it becomes her own property through Destiny. She is actually willing to lose what she could have 100% control over by January. And as recognition of that gesture of respect toward us, I am allowing LAWL wrestlers to compete for their OMG Title at Immortal. This show is about recognizing what all three of these promotions have meant to its wrestlers and fans over the last decade."

*Kyle fidgets a bit and Geese smiles.*

[Geese:] "I did not forget you, Kyle, but you will have to be patient for another few moments before I dispense some further advice. And if there's one quality of yours that the strategist in me admires,it's patience. *Geese smirks* I have never seen someone hold in their hatred for so long and hatch a year long campaign like the one you did against me. So rest assured, your patience will pay off. We will be facing each other in the main event of Immortal in what I am formally announcing as my final match."

*The fans give a collective "oooooh". Some chants of "Please Don't Go" and "Good riddance, jerkface!" (we're close to NJ) are heard.*

[Geese:] "To my fans and fellow wrestlers in FPCPP, I have already contacted Commissioner Terry Butcher with my decision to retire. I also informed him about my plans to take the danger of Furis off his hands through means you saw earlier. My belated thanks to HTIMan for coming to my aid in January and my congratulations to him for defeating Furis on the Jar. I appreciate FPCPP's desire to fast track that match so that HTIMan could finish his rivalry with Furis before I got to him.

That my final real match in FPCPP was with Julian Caesaro is an honor for me. But my final match ever has to be with you, Kyle. Not to beat you, not to injure you, but to prove to you that the very passion and conviction I fight with is the same I bring to my relationship with Robin.

Kyle, what you are up against...I am sorry to say, is invincible. Through my own desires and the guidance of Celes...*Geese grins* and Thunder Strike, I no longer have any priorities besides making your sister happy. I care no longer for Title reigns or grudges, for legacies or philosophies. I care only for her. You need to ask yourself what matters more: her happiness or your strict expectations for her. We all look forward to your answer. Just remember that Jinchuu can't truly exist as long as this woman smiles on me as well as you."

*Kyle's face is red and his body is shaking as if his nerves are in over drive. He appears ready to pounce on Geese like he did to Furis, but looks at Robin's scared expression and thinks better of it. So he simply leaves the ring. Robin looks worried about him and Geese motions for her to go and help him. She smiles and kisses Geese again, which causes the audience to roar with applause, which further agitates Kyle. Robin then exits the ring and escorts Kyle up the ramp which cheers him up after the emotional roller coaster of the last few minutes. Geese then addresses the audience with Celes standing next to him with a look of pride.*

[Geese:] "In the coming weeks, the full lineup for Immortal will be announced. Tonight started with a funeral and appears to have actually become a bigger one, but do not misunderstand. This is a not an end, but a new beginning for all of us. A new start for wrestlers who wanted, and deserved, their fair chances to show their skills: like the noble woman next to me always begged me to give them. It is finally time for Illumination as she and Jean Carter envisioned it. This will be a new start for wrestlers distracted by violence. A new start for relationships mired by diversions. Immortal will allow the best of us to accomplish feats that will live forever, and the worst of us to change our ways as this woman knew all of us could do. Even Jakob of Furis. Even Robin and Kyle Walker. Even Orochi Geese..

Immortal will transform OG-FPD from action to spirit. We look forward to seeing you there.

*Geese gives Celes the microphone.*

[Celes:] "The true Orochi Geese has returned to us. Please give him your support."

*The crowd does just that as they give the two a standing ovation as they start to walk to the back. Halfway down the ramp, they are met by Mr. Clyde and Mr. Figaro who embrace Geese and carry him on their shoulders up the ramp to the back. The scene fades.*

Battle Formation 2011

2011-07-25T15:09:00.007-04:00

AND

BATTLE FORMATION 2011

"Get back in formation!"

*We fade into the Battle Chamber of the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena where streamers of blue, gold, red, and black are thrown from the fans into the ring as they erupt in excitement! The camera zooms close to the commentary booth at the edge of the entrance ramp where we see perennial announcer John Randolph and his new antagonist, James Ward sitting waiting for the fan clamor to calm down. John is wearing a white shirt with the "Get back in formation" tagline printed on it and James is wearing a black shirt with a red Jinchuu symbol.*

[John:] "Welcome fans-"

[James:] "What is this now, a fashion show? The cameras zoomed in on our clothes for a full ten seconds. You gonna tell the fans what 'designer' is behind this? Maybe ask John over here to put on some heels and slut himself down the catwalk?"

[John:] "I think that's strut."

*James smacks his own forehead.*

[James:] "Yeah I guess you know your line of work better then I do. Congrats, sweet cheeks."

[John:] "Uh...well fans, you have correctly tuned into Battle Formation-"

[James:] "Sucks for them. They just missed the adult channels by like two channels. That only takes 10 minutes for everyone to have a good time and finish but now they'll have to watch you suck UBL and Kirin off for like two hours and make a mess of your dignity."

[John:] "I'm not sure Kyle Walker would prefer you tell the fans to watch adult movies."

[James:] "If it put this piece of shit promotion out of business, he'd personally buy hand lotion for everyone who needed it."

[John:] "Great. Well fans, Drake has asked me to keep my comments brief tonight so we can focus on the matches."

[James:] "Glad to see he's already raised one white flag and let Jinchuu get away with what it wants."

[John:] "Quite the contrary, you'll have much more trouble convincing people to stop watching our promotion, and pro wrestling in general, when we can show off our best asset. And that is our fierce in ring competition. Let's get right to it. We start tonight-"

[James:] "We've started tonight with me punking you out and we'll continue and end on that note."

[John:] "We start tonight with the first Kirin Dojo match on the show which pits Joachim against Bai Hu."

[James:] "Bai who?"

[John:] "Nope, not biting on that."

*James smacks John in the back of the head and John sighs*

[John:] "Bai who?"

[James:] "That's more like it. Gotta have a sense of humor to wallow in this level of sh*t every month."

[John:] "Bai Hu is one of the toughest men in professional wrestling and has a sense of humor on his own. Ever heard of a 'foot farmer', James?"

*James looks at John with as disgusted an expression as possible.*

[James:] "Keep your fetishes to yourself, you disgusting son of a bitch."

[John:] "No, no, it's the setup to a joke. Cause Bai Hu would say that he'd plant his foot so far up-"

*James places his hands over his ears.*

[James:] "Stop right there. Damnit Drake, you let this deviant on the air?"

[John:] "You were the one urging the fans to watch pornography!. I was only saying-"

[James:] "I set a man on fire and everyone's all offended but you tell us what sick things you and Thai ladyBai Hu do in your spare time-"

[John:] "I guess you don't want to hear about his 'magical murder pants' either..."

[James:] "As long as he keeps them on, I don't care."

[John:] "Good. His opponent tonight is simply named Joachim."

[James:] "You gonna let us in on what turns him on too?"

[John:] "Well the only 'quirky' thing we know about Joachim is that he tends to wrestle while already bleeding."

[James:] "These Kirin sickos disgust me. I blame Japan."

[John:] "And what is that supposed to mean?."

[James:] "I lived in Japan for five years with UBL and you can't watch TV there without seeing a tentacle."

[John:] "They do have extensive marine biology funding there-"

[James:] "Bullsh*t."

[John:] "Before we start an international incident, it appears that Bai Hu is coming to the ring first. This man is one of Athrin's allies in FPCPP."

[James:] "Big surprise to see the owner's friend get a spot and big PPV paycheck tonight. Athrin's a lot like Geese: A selfish prick that buys into his own hype and thinks the world revolves around and fears him. They both help undeserved allies get spots that others earned. You saw me beat Geese in January and I could have done it years ago but Drake, Geese, and Thunder Shit always kept me down. I never got my fair chances over there til I made them here and then suddenly I'm the bad guy for taking my spot by force. Athrin plays favorites too. And it's only a matter of time before he and his loser friends get what's coming to them just like Geese did."

[John:] "Bai Hu is one of the most feared warriors in Kirin Dojo and FPCPP and a perennial #1 contender to the FPCPP World Title.

[James:] "Always the bridesmaid, never the bride."

[John:] "He brings with him an explosive moveset full of dangerous suplexes and knock out level strikes. James, this isn't some punk you're talking about. Bai Hu can do serious damage and I wouldn't suggest you raise his ire."

[James:] "I ain't trying to 'raise' anything of his after what you said before about his fetishes..."

[John:] "Right. Great. Well, next we have Joachim slowly walking to the ring.

[James:] "Whoopdee f*cking doo. Look at 'em walk, definitely worthy of camera attention."

[John:] "What's worthy is the sense of focus in his eyes. According to a reporter friend of mine in Kirin Dojo, Joachim is looking for his path in life. In fact, it's quite interesting that he has ended up on this show given past comments he has made regarding UBL and a certain ally of yours."

[James:] "Jinchuu, especially Jakob, are 'vell' aware of his comments. We saw Joachim blow out his birthday candles or whatever the f*ck he was trying to do. Were we supposed to get scared? Furis is a f'n vampire, he ain't afraid of the dark! You really gonna scare Furis?!"

[John:] "And the rest of you?"

[James:] "Kyle and I are grown-ups, and Jason won't even comment on this bullsh*t cause he's totally focused on winning money matches for us. So whatever the f*ck Joachim thought he was pulling, he should put it back in his magical murder pants."

[John:] "Actually, it's Bai Hu who has those-"

[James:] "ENOUGH. Now why the hell is this match happening?

[John:] "Athrin has alluded that whoever wins this will gain contention status for the King of Kirin Title. So each man better be at his best-"

[James:] "We get it. Cut the shit. Just get to the ring."

[John:] "I think we will do just that. Should be a great start to the action."

[James:] "Looks like Bai Hu's perv crop is sufferin' a drought."

[John:] "Joachim just wrestled the match of his career to defeat Bai Hu. I had no idea he was capable of wrestling at this level so early in his career and the fans seem just as shocked about his performance and victory. All indications pointed to Bai Hu taking this match with relative ease to start the show but Joachim elevated his abilities far beyond what was expected of him."

[James:] "So you being making a bad prediction is what just took you an hour to say?"

[John:] "Joachim wins this match with the dragon sleeper which he calls 'Dreams' but not after fighting off some near debilitating suplexes from Bai Hu and going toe to toe with one of the toughest men in this business. A win well earned."

Joachim (O) ["Dreams" - 22:44] (X) Bai Hu

*Joachim politely asks for a microphone as Bai Hu goes backstage.*

[Joachim:] "*Takes a deep breath* It is an honor for me to share a step on my life's path with the warrior, Bai Hu. He fought valiantly and will grow from this experience as I hope I will. Our only shame was having to do it in this arena."

*The fans cheers turn to boos but Joachim holds his hands up in protest.*

[Joachim:] "I mean no disrespect to all of my dear friends watching this, nor to my brothers on the UBL roster who puts on their best efforts to entertain you. Rather, I empathize with what you've had to endure over the last few months due to the disgrace known as Jinchuu."

[James:] "His 'Dreams' gonna turn to a nightmare if he keeps this shit up."

[Joachim:] "What they have done to my dear friend Jang Bae will not go without punishment. Nor will the sheer existence of their ally Jakob of Furis: an abomination of nature that can not be allowed to continue as is."

*At this point, Furis comes out from backstage and stalks his way to ringside with a smile on his face.*

[John:] "Why is Furis so happy here? He's getting insulted and threatened-"

[James:] "By a man who just wrestled for twenty minutes. And Furis knows I'm out here too. Joachim just wrote his own eulogy."

[Joachim:] "Approach, vampire. I do not fear you. My blood is already protected by-"

*Joachim loosens up his wrist band and allows some blood to drain into the ring. Furis looks genuinely confused as to what Joachim is getting at."

[Joachim:] "Those who share my path."

*A massive man in the crowd with a blood-stained shirt steps over the guardrail and approaches the ring. James runs to back Furis up but his attempted punch is cut off by the longer reach of the crowd jumper's punch. James gets rocked and the man gets into the ring, staring at Furis.*

*Furis charges at the man and attempts a diving lariat but is caught in mid air and heaved over the ropes outside the ring!*

[John:] "I'm not sure I've ever seen such power before."

[Joachim:] "You have much to ask forgiveness about, vampire. Jinchuu's 'judgment by man' shall fail, leaving you to be properly judged.

*Joachim clasps in hands in what appears to be a prayer.*

[Joachim:] "Our paths will cross again."

*Kyle Walker, Jason Hyde, and James (who finally manages to stagger to his feet) run to the ring to surround Joachim and his ally as Furis struggles to get up. But Joachim merely smiles, goes down to his knees in prayer, and the arena lights shut off for five seconds. When they come back on, Joachim and his ally are gone. Jinchuu pitch a fit and start throwing chairs as we quickly go to commercials.*

*Commercials air for the June Voltage and July Amplitude.*

*When we return, John is alone in the booth and looking relieved.*

[John:] "Well, I don't even know what to make of that. I haven't seen anyone get the better of Jinchuu and though they weren't out in full force, both Furis and my broadcast colleague were handled rather easily by one man. Who that man is and the specifics of his connection to Joachim remains a total mystery. But it's clear that with the ability and resilience of Joachim combined with the size and strength of his friend, this is going to be an interesting duo for Kirin Dojo to watch. And perhaps one day by UBL fans if Joachim cross paths with Jinchuu again.

Well, at least I now get the opportunity to show the fans the entire card for tonight. As those remember from the May Circuit Show, James Ward isn't so happy about 'indulging' in such behavior as informing everyone who will wrestle on a given night.

*The BattleTron turns on to show the card for the evening.*

1) Joachim vs. Bai Hu
2) Lone Spacewolf vs. Kirin Rider vs. ? ?
3) UBL NEXUS Championship: Daddy Prime Time vs. Markus Caesaro (c)
4) Universal Battalion Championship: Team ReLoad (Sonny X/REDD) vs. Jinchuu (Jason Hyde/Kyle Walker) (c)
5) Rookie Battle Royale: RYOMA, Great Budo, Mickey Revell, Dean Annay, Yoshimaru Hazuki, Zukamikudo, Venom, and Leiji Kikusan
6) King of Kirin World Championship: Tiger Sword vs Athrin (c)

[John:] "And now it's time to continue the show and get to the next match, also hosted by Kirin Dojo. This will be a triple threat match and we know two of the participants: Kirin Rider and Lone Spacewolf. Both of these men are huge favorites of the Kirin fans which is why they were chosen to represent their promotion here. And Kirin Rider comes to the ring first."

[John:] A LOT of applause for the man who bears the name of the promotion! And next out comes Lone Spacewolf. A lone wolf...in space. Can you hear the cry of a wolf in space? You probably couldn't hear a space cougar til it was too late."

[John:] "And now we're all anxious to see who the third wrestler will be. I've heard he is someone who is making their return not only to Kirin Dojo but also partially to UBL. However, this is more of a Kirin match cause he didn't spend much time in UBL according to Drake.

[John:] "It's Tyler Alexander! The man formerly known by UBL fans as Machete, part of the Warriors Max stable! Tyler has already returned to FPCPP and now he makes his redebut in Kirin and soon in UBL. Let's see what he can do on his return!"

[John:] "It took me a second to realize why Tyler was just standing there but I'm not sure he was informed that this was a one fall triple threat match as opposed to elimination. Had this have been under elimination rules, he did the right thing in letting Kirin get pinned. Somehow he got misinformed but I'll tell you fans, that was an incredible match. The high flying moves and creative suplexes these men pulled up were very impressive. If this is what the junior scene looks like in Kirin Dojo, it's no wonder they have such passionate fans! The UBL crowd is giving all three men a standing ovation as well. Tyler looks frustrated but appreciates the reaction and all three men shake hands.

Lone Spacewolf (O) ["Wolf Splash" - 21:50] (X) Kirin Rider (-) Tyler Alexander

[John:] "And folks, I think we're headed towards an intermission. Wait...no? I'm getting word that one may be scheduled but...frankly, I'm kind of confused. Please bear with me, I'm going to try to get word from backstage as to what is going on."

The show seems to almost stop in its tracks at this point. There is nothing but a looped UBL logo playing on the titantron above the stage as the camera pans throughout the crowd aimlessly in wait. Fans in the arena have enjoyed this brief reprieve from the exciting and intense matches that have lead up to this point, but are now becoming restless as they await the next scheduled match or segment.

They aren't forced to wait long, as K parts the curtains and steps out onto the stage.

He walks down the ramp toward the ring somewhat stiff and ploddingly, not to his entrance theme, "Dancing Mad," but to the reactions of surprised fans, most of whom recognize him from other promotions. Then there are the confused fans, who haven't a clue as to his identity. After entering the ring, he is handed a microphone by one of the UBL ringside staff, which he snatches away annoyedly, indicating that this is indeed a scheduled segment on the card. K settles in a corner leaning against the turnbuckles. He holds the microphone up to his mouth, taking in the crowd reaction before speaking.

[K:] "Me? K. Here? UBL. Why? Ceese."

K laughs quietly to himself as a smile develops along the edges of his mouth. He seems to be alone in this, with the joke being completely lost on the bewildered audience.

[K:] "That's what I had originally planned to say here before my allotted time was extended. It was nice and short, possibly with a hint of unnecessary bitterness, but it got the point across. However, I've got no problem entertaining you with the full version."

Many in the crowd are opposed or apathetic towards the idea yet they stay attentive to discover what this has to do with Julian Caesaro.

[K:] "After our match at the last FPCPP PPV, I told you there were no hard feelings. I meant it. There's no doubt that I lost the match, but I gained so much more than what a simple 'W' on my record could have granted; one of those things being the attention of various promoters such as Drake Yoshida. We've actually been in contact for months discussing my signing here. And isn't it funny that I'd wait all this time when I could have debuted months ago? Yes, because it's another reason for me saying what I did, Ceese. Despite my original loss, the door was already open for me to beat you in UBL, to gain total victory just for the hell of it.

You've called me out before so now I'll do the same. See, the 'Royale God of UBL' *Snicker* owes me a rematch...or maybe he doesn't. Either way I'm here to collect and I will collect. Which brings me to something else. I was beaten by Dragon Royale, the fan favorite that supposedly stuck up for Elwood Allen's honor, who would then go on to become the Royale Emperor; a no-nonsense, self serving man with no regard for the people around him. At the same time this man is in UBL, surrounding himself with a group of dumbass sheep as he attempts to play god by passing his championship belt around."

K palms one side of his face in an attempt to contain his laughter, but he soon begins cackling uncontrollably. He falls down to a seated position, leaning his head against the 2nd turnbuckle and quickly regains composure.

[K:] "Astounding hypocrisy aside, the gist of all this is that it won't really matter who you decide to be this time or who you surround yourself with. I can get to you, Julian. Something you know better than anyone which is why I'm telling you in advance. Know that I don't await your answer to my challenge, I expect it, and I am prepared for it. As for the rest of you..."

He makes two quick left to right glances of the arena.

[K:] "...and the entire UBL locker room, if you only take away one thing from what you've just seen, heard, or flat out ignored completely, please let it be this: I am here...to stay. "

K tosses the mic somewhere off screen. "Dancing Mad" plays as he makes the 'UBL Love' handsign and kisses it to the camera before sliding underneath the bottom rope, exiting the ring.*

[John:] "Wow, I'm floored. K has joined the UBL roster and has Julian Caesaro squarely in his sights. For those not familiar with K's work, the man has had one of the most dominant years ever since he scrapped his "Ultimate K" mask and persona. And one of this first victims was Julian: whose leg K brutalized. The two fought but K was not entirely satisfied with how things ended and has followed Julian here. It's clear that K doesn't care who Julian is aligned with or whether he accepts the fans or not, K wants to take him out.

A further wrinkle in this story is that K actually helped train Julian's brother, Markus. the two were very close in FPCPP's "League of Justice" group and they still seem to share a mutual respect. Considering Markus was recently appointed as Julian's NEXUS representative and K is now here, how will Markus fit into things? That much is unclear and it's probably best for Markus to not worry too much about it given the states of our next match.

Markus has to defend the NEXUS Title against Daddy Prime Time. Not only is this Markus' first Title defense, but he's doing it against a man who has collected championships all around the world. A man who has a lot of emnity with Markus' brother and would love to claim this title for his own. But also a man who recently suffered a loss as his tag team partner and friend, Sonic Death, recently passed away. DPT has a lot on his mind much as Markus does. And you can see some of that tension on DPT's face as he comes down to ringside. It would be a huge moment in his career to return to UBL and win the title but he's gotta be thinking about Sonic as well. Of note is that this is actually DPT's first shot ever at the NEXUS Title so you know he's excited for the opportunity despite the dark cloud over the match. He had to earn this in a very personal series against Dambman that spanned over a year and then an incredibly tough match against Corey O'Brian."

[John:] "The fans don't always like him but they seem to be throwing their support behind DPT tonight. Whether out of respect for his loss, his renewed spirit, or the fact that Markus Caesaro is loved by very few people, DPT is thef an's choice tonight. But that doesn't faze Markus as he walks down to ringside with the same ice old demeanor as always."

[John:] "A few fans have asked me why Markus still wears his mask despite finally being identified. The Corruptor was a moniker to keep under the radar but we know who he is so why the mask? The fact is that one of the reasons he has been so dominant and cold-blooded over the last year is due to being buried alive in FPCPP at the hands of a man named Four Skulls. Skulls is allied with Athrin and Bai Hu. So there's absolutely no kind feelings betwween the co-host of tonight's show and this man right here. Markus emerged a new man, practically a monster, and he wears the mask for that reason. Folks, the Universal Battle League NEXUS Championship is on the line. Two very qualified wrestlers will go to war as the technical and strike-heavy, DPT face the power brawler, Markus Caesaro. What will it take to win this match? We'll just have to find out."

[John:] "That was an interesting and somewhat surprising ending to this match. You don't expect to see Markus attempt a move like that to finish a match but the reality is that the man has so much muscle mass that it practically crushes you to get caught under him from that height. DPT gave it his best shot and I'll be damned if I didn't think he had this on a few occasions. But Markus simply wanted this more, whether to prove to his brother, the fans, or himself that he deserves the Championship after being handed it. DPT has had some of the most impressive victories in UBL since 2009 but he could not get the better of Markus tonight. And my guess is that it will be a while before anyone does."

Daddy Prime Time (X) [Diving Body Press - 16:24] (O) Markus Caesaro

*John Randolph comes back to ringside with a scowl and a big red mark on his face.*

[John:] "Uh, not trying to be start trouble but are you ok?"

*James looks at John with a blank expression and then shrugs his shoulders with a confused look. He gets in John's face, barking at him.*

[James:] "Why the F*CK would you care?"

*John backs up and puts his hands up in surrender.*

[John:] "Ok, I guess I don't. Never mind then. So I guess you're back out to watch your allies in their Title match."

[James:] "You realize that cause you got to show everyone the card?"

[John:] "You...you saw that?"

[James:] "No, I just assumed you couldn't resist."

[John:] "Well it's now time to talk about the Universal Battalion Championship match."

[James:] "No, it's not time to talk about it. It's time to have it."

[John:] "Once each team gets to the ring, I won't be able to stop them. But the fans want to know-"

[James:] "Too f*ckin bad. F*CK the Kirin fans, the UBL fans, the Japanese fans, the American fans. F*ck them all and F*CK you."

[John:] "You don't even want to hear me talk about Jinchuu?"

[James:] "No, keep your damn words to yourself. Just let these teams walk to the ring and fight. If I have to listen to one more weasely word from you, I swear I'm gonna snap you in half. Shut your mouth and watch what real men do: fight, not talk."

*John gulps and remains silent Meanwhile, Sonny X and REDD, collectively Team ReLoad, come down to ringside to great cheers.*

[James:] "And here's the Champs, Jason Hyde and Kyle Walker. Champions of Jinchuu, f*Ck the Battalion Titles. They only keep them cause it pisses people off that we have them. And it's gonna really piss Parorochiplegeesic off when Kyle and Jason crush Sonny X in their first try. Geese never beat Sonny and these two are gonna do it here tonight. There's your buildup, there's the glory of Jinchuu, and there's your Champions."

[James:] "And here comes the beat down."

[James:] "I TOLD YOU! I TOLD YOU SONS OF BITCHES!"

[John:] "Not only did Kyle beat his enemies rival, he made him pass out."

[James:] "Kyle f*cked him up! He bust him open and then took him out!"

[John:] "Kyle split Sonny's face open with a knuckle punch. It's hard to tell if he had an illegal object in his hand. As Sonny started bleeding, Kyle took advantage by literally squeezing the blood and life out of his head causing him to pass out. And you have to give Jason credit for not only breaking up that German suplex pin earlier, but stopping REDD before he could break up Kyle's sleeper hold."

Redd/Sonny X (X) [Buffalo Sleeper - 24:43] (O) Kyle Walker/Jason Hyde

[James:] "Damn straight you have to give Jason credit! He's our blue chipper, our trump card. Kyle was the man with the Jinchuu plan but Jason is our designated hitter in that ring. That's why he won the Titles for us in March, he can beat anyone on this roster and anyone in the world. He's beaten Geese, Thunder Strike, and the 2007 Universal Champion, Jack Dod. He's the master of that ring, and don't you forget it. He even has a new Jinchuu inspired wardrobe to let Geese know who now wears the black, gold, and a certain symbol in that ring."

[John:] "I certainly wasn't taking anything away from Jason, who I concede has all the talent in the world. But I'll mention once more that Kyle has managed to fight off his opponent's strongest move with minimal effect. Sonny hit him with that trademark russian neck drop, the karelin lift-"

[James:] "Carolyn lift? Who the f*ck is Carolyn?"

[John:] "Alexandr Karelin, former Olympic legend from Russia."

[James:] "So when you aren't sucking off the Japanese, you cheer for the Russians during the Olympics? That's treason. You make me sick."

[John:] "The point I was making, Senator McCarthy, is that Kyle Walker took the neck drop and got up before Sonny could pin him. I don't know how he's doing this but this is now the third time after shrugging off the finishers of Thunder Strike and Marauder."

[James:] "The only finisher in this fed is Jinchuu. We're putting an end to UBL and one of it's final chapters were just written."

*Kyle and Jason walk backstage but James intercepts their path and lifts each man up on his shoulders (not at once) to celebrate. James barks to the crowd: "Where's your heroes now!?" Kyle smirks as Jason goes backstage. He is expressionless throughout this and the fans are still split in reaction to them. Kyle, on the other hand, is getting clear boos which he appears to relish. James returns to the commentary booth.*

[James:] "Well, that's it."

[John:] "What is?"

[James:] "ReLoad was clearly the only top contenders to us and now they're beaten. We won't give them another shot."

[John:] "While the match was competitive throughout, I agree that it was a decisive victory."

[James:] "Exactly. So who's next? All the teams ReLoad beat? Why waste our time with them. We just killed the division, Randolph."

[John:] "But styles make fights. Even though Jinchuu beat ReLoad, that doesn't mean they'll match up with everyone else-"

[James:] "Bullsh*t. Styles don't make fights, men do. And we're the only men that can get sh*t done. There's no one that's gonna take us out and our next step is that NEXUS Title. Meanwhile, I guess we have to sit through more sh*tty matches. What do we got now? Some rookie match?"

[John:] "The Rookie Battle Royale was one of the fan's favorite matches at the last-"

[James:] "Enough! Yoshida already said what you did at the press conference. You keep repeating sh*t but if you really believed it, you'd just let the fans feel that way. Instead you have to dictate it to them over and over again. This whole business is lies and propaganda."

[John:] "Uh... so we'll have four men from Kirin Dojo-"

*James laughs in a dismissive fashion.*

[James:] "Nah, no men in Kirin Dojo. Just little boys who watch cartoons and want to be their favorite crazy super hero. Just deviants who watch tentacle sh*t. Just wrestlers who have to invent weird suplex variants cause they ain't got the strength to put you down with one punch.

Ever see a bar fight in Japan? No way, only in America, pal."

[John:] "Uh...great? U-S-A, U-S-A?"

[James:] "The toughest men are here. I was in Japan for years and I hated every second of it. And being forced to sit and watch this bullsh*t and tolerate the asinine decisions of their Geese Jr owner makes me physically nauseous. I have good mind to take it out on every tiny dude in the next match. Hell, maybe I should go backstage and beat the sh*t out of Athrin so we don't have to sit through some perverted Japanese death match."

*At this point, the curtains open but no music plays. Instead, this man calmly walks onto the stage and up to the announcing table.*

[John:] "We've been joined by Hanzori, the brother of Athrin and I'm not sure what-"

*Hanzori blows mist in James' face and then slaps the taste out of his mouth with a roundhouse shouda. James falls backward out of his seat and crashes on to the floor. Hanzori then walks up the ramp to the ring and beckons James to join him.*

[John:] "Taste the irony, A member of Jinchuu just insulted someone's family member and made them mad!"

*James gets on the ramp and is himself exploding with anger. He calls for Hanzori's execution and walks to the ring.*

[John:] "I think we have an impromptu match...or fight, more likely. But we do have a referee coming to the ring and it looks like war is about to break out! Let's see if it resembles a wrestling match!"

[John:] "And when I said earlier that a war was about to break out, I had no idea that two actual armies would emerge to support their representatives! Athrin's Fuzen Tara Seitan stable backed up his brother Hanzori when Jinchuu, specifically Kyle Walker, tried to interfere in the match. And then it just went from bad to worse to weird as, of all people, Jakob of Furis was the voice of reason.

Let me repeat that. Jakob of Furis was instrumental in stopping violence.

I don't get it. I've seen a lot of crazy things in my time here but nothing is as inexplicable as that. This is a guy who instigated a failed attack on Joachim earlier, on top of the scores of people he's brutalized. But he stopped this fight by coming to an understanding with noted and literal hot head Vulcan Vesuvius. I'd love to try to analyze this but I can't. The only thing I can say is that all of us are lucky this fight stopped cause I have no doubt the fans would end up as collateral damage. Athrin against Kyle? Pardon my language but that's a batsh*t insane situation to envision.

And seeing as Athrin still has a death match scheduled for tonight, it's probably best for him that Vulcan and Furis reached and understanding or some non-aggression pact. Who knows. Considering how this fight started, it's a miracle it ended this way.

Hanzori (-) [No Contest - 17:18] (-) James Ward

[John:] "Both groups are going backstage. Mercifully, James is as well as I'm sure he's tired from his match. I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize on behalf of UBL for all the ignorant and hateful things James said about Japan, Russia, and well, pretty much everything he's said. Considering our Sergeant is Japanese and our owner Orochi Geese considers Japan his second home, I assure you that the views expressed by James Ward is his and Jinchuu's alone. And well, he sure got what was coming to him in expressing those views."

Now, after that ugliness, let's get on with the show in the spirit of togetherness between Kirin Dojo and UBL...as they fight each other tooth and nail! Well, to be more accurate, all eight men in this match are actually fighting for their own interests. While there may be some promotional rivalry, I believe whoever wins will get a reward from their prospective promotion. And that should function as an incentive to win the match and eliminate anyone, regardless of what promotion they are in. I know that the UBL is offering a guaranteed shot at the Front Lines Field Leader Title to anyone on the UBL side that wins. I'm sure Kirin Dojo would reward one of their wrestlers with a similar prize.

As we have eight wrestlers here, we're just gonna get to the basic introductions and let their in ring performance speak for themselves. So let's first briefly recognize (in order of front to back) the UBL squad of RYOMA, Great Budo, Mickey Revell, and Dean Annay.

[John:] "And here are our very welcome visitors from Kirin Dojo: (also from front to back) Yoshimaru Hazuki, Zukamikudo, Venom, and Leiji Kikusan. Four very visually interesting competitors and I've heard they all have varied, expert skillsets, and rabid fanbases."

[John:] "Let's get to the ring and see who can win an honor and opportunity!"

Kirin Wrestler DUO won the Battle Royale at our first combined show by defeating UBL wrestler Jasper Woodruff. Tonight, RYOMA defeated Leiji Kikusan in a match that saw even eliminations between the two promotions. And at the end, it looked like Leiji was going to take this match but somehow RYOMA powered out of the predicaments he was put in! Then he put the match away with the incredibly powerful "White Dawn" to earn himself an upcoming shot at the Field Leader Title. And while this may sound corny, the true winner really was the audience who got to witness this respectful but intense match between wrestlers of the two host promotions. Go fans! But uh...none of you get Field Leader Title shots. Sorry.

RYOMA (O) ["White Dawn" - 28:06] (X) Leiji Kikusan

Order of Elimination: Yoshimaru Hazuki, Great Budo, Venom, Mickey Revell, Dean Annay, Zukamikudo, Leiji Kikusani. Winner: RYOMA.

[John:] "And now folks, provided we don't have any more impromptu appearances...."

*He waits a second and looks around but then goes on.*

[John:] "It is now time-"

*Marine's "Baron" suddenly plays on the speakers as Sir Arthur Wingate comes out with a smile and cordially bows to the crowd.*

[John:] "It is now time... to get interrupted again."

*Arthur grabs a microphone while the ring crew begin setting up the equipment necessary for the upcoming death match.*

[Arthur:] "Battle Formation: An occasion for both the Americans and Japanese to show the world their fighting spirit. But do recall that the British know a little something about warfare too: having been the clear dominant world power for centuries. And though our country, as a whole, has lost some of that military luster, there are those among us who have continued to evolve the art."

*Arthur smiles proudly*

[Arthur:] "You are all greatly privileged to be in the presence of such a man, an authentic British Knight.."

[John:] "I had those sneakers too, won them from a game show."

[Arthur:] "Although I have recently contracted with my half brother to abstain from interrupting 'his' shows, tonight is a special agreed upon exception. Drake has granted me these moments. while the proletariat set up the ring for some violent tomfoolery to conclude this evening, so that I could introduce a concept of real import to the Universal Battle League."

*At this point two men wearing medieval knight armor walk out to the stage. One is in front of the other and they are both supporting a heavy pole on their shoulders with a red cloth banner hanging between them. The banner has a black outline trim and in the middle contains gold writing that states: "The Arthur Wingate Invitational." They parade up and down the entrance ramp as Arthur claps at the banner with a proud expression.*

[Arthur:] "Such magnificence! Oh, to expound on such grandeur and watch you all gain inspiration and wonder from it!!"

*An actual tear runs down his cheek but he wipes it away and gathers himself.*

[Arthur:] "However, I remain quite vigilant against overloading the short attention span of Americans with too much information at once. So consider this lofty occasion a mere prelude to my next appearance this summer when I will reveal the exciting details. Until then, reflect on this occasion and keep it close to your heart. The world has indeed changed on this day and you were all here to witness it. In a way, I envy you."

*Arthur points forward and the two knights lead the way backstage as he walks behind them, waving to the audience who seem a bit annoyed.*

[John:] "Well if there's one art that particular Englishman is a master of, it's self-indulgence. But while he may have downplayed the importance and gravity of the next match, our main event, it is my job to set you all straight. And first, I shall do that with a stern warning. Parents, the next match will be exceedingly violent. The ropes are made of barbed wire and the entire ring is laced with C4 explosives for one very large planned conflagration. And that will be the exclamation point to what we know these two are capable of. So I urge you all to get young children, or those with weak stomachs away, from your television set or computer."

*A small warning screen is shown for a few seconds.*

[John:] "There, we now come to a match with four separate components. First is the utter violence of the match due to the barbed wire and C4. We have seen a lot of very brutal matches in UBL. Tiger Sword and Athrin Kazama, just 7 months ago at the OG-FPD Ragnarok show, had a landmine death match that put them both out of action for months afterward. But tonight's match promises to up the violence quotient to unacceptable levels. The type of levels that we saw during the Kyle Walker vs. Jeremiah Jones staple gun death match. A man can have his very face blown off in tonight's match. But to understand why this match is even happening, we have to turn to the second component: history.

Tiger Sword is Athrin's teacher and mentor. Or, at least, was that until Athrin shockingly turned against him in late 2009 and formed the Fuzen Tara Seitan stable to dominate UBL. Sword was injured for the better part of a year. But when he came back, with the true roar of a tiger, Athrin swore to take him out for good. The two have traded victories since, with Sword winning the first singles match and then Athrin winning the landmine match. Tonight is the third and final match according to Drake. He sees too much potential in both men to allow them to destroy themselves further. But will there be anything left after tonight to salvage? Hasn't this already gone too far?

Well if there is anything to salvage, Athrin will be bringing it to the ring with him. It is the third component of this match, the King of Kirin World Championship: the top Title in Kirin Dojo and a belt that Orochi Geese has been known to respect. Athrin has been a long time Champion and has put his Title on the line as the final piece of pride in this final battle. Sword isn't even in Kirin Dojo so this would be a huge coup for him to win this Title and fitting revenge for what Athrin did to him. But Athrin is the favorite in many fans' eyes due to his advantage in matches based around violence. We saw how comfortable he was in the Landmine death match and while Sword made a spectacular comeback, Athrin had the match under control for the majority of the time. However, Sword is also a tremendously intelligent wrestler and adapts well to his opponents and surroundings so I think he may have learned a lot from the last match with Athrin. And here he is, coming to the ring right now.

Athrin requested that this song be the official song of the main event so it is actually playing in lieu of the entrance themes of both men here. Athrin felt this theme represented the rivalry these two men have had and Sword appears fine coming down to it."

[John:] "Of further significance is what Sword doesn't have with him, his FPCPP World Championship. The fourth component of this match is that both men are currently holding the two coveted singles titles in the FPCPP promotion. Sword is the World Champion there and Athrin is the Anarchy Champion, So there is that further matter of Title vs. Title pride in front of FPCPP fans and wrestlers who are no doubt watching tonight. But neither man will bring those belts to the ring due to FPCPP refusing to allow them near potential explosions. A wise move given what can happen in UBL. if people can get set on fire, so can belts. Speaking of fire, I wonder if Vulcan Vesuvius has given his stablemate Athrin any tips on how to deal with burns. While we ponder that unpleasant question, here comes Athrin."

[John:] "The two waste no time in getting at it! Athrin ran down the ramp and Sword was in his face the second he got into the ring! Here we go!"

[John:] "The referee has called for the bell, declaring this match a draw. Medics are rushing to the ring as are members of Fuzen Tara Seitan to check on Athrin. Koji Keo'ke, Mark Spirals, and his Gen X allies are doing their part to protect and check on Sword.

Folks, no one expected a second explosion here. I'm not sure I've ever even heard of that happening in this kind of match. One blast is usually all it takes to finish the match and force a winner, especially as late as it occurred here. But both men somehow held on and kept fighting, only for a second blast to rock the ring and render them both unconscious.

Tiger Sword (-) [Draw - 20:00] (-) Athrin Kazama

[John:] "This was a true war, totally deserving of the main event on a show like this. But I am worried about both men's health. The second explosion hit Sword right in the face and had to have charred Athrin's groin after the attempted roll-up pin. And right as i say that, Minerva, Athrin's wife has come out to the ring, followed by Tigerfly Sword, Sword's wife!

It's taking time for both men to regain consciousness here. I don't even know what happens to the King of Kirin World Title but I assume that in a draw the Title stays with the current champion, Athrin. We'll have to get the final word from Kirin authorities about that.

And finally, both men begin to stir. A combination of smelling salts along with their wives and friends rousing them have seemed to work. After a few minutes, both men miraculously get to their feet, with the help of the ropes. F.T.S. appear to be pointing at Sword and his friends in a menacing way but Athrin waves them off. He asks Minerva to help him walk over to Sword, who is being helped to his feet by Tigerfly.

I don't know what we're gonna see here. Athrin limps over and gets right in Sword's face. We get a stare down and then...

He bows! Athrin bows! Sword doesn't know what to do but after a few seconds of taking the sight in, he holds out his hand and Athrin shakes it. The fans ERUPT for this. We knew Athrin, as vicious as he is, has his own sense of honor and he's showing it here. I think Sword just earned his respect after going through this ordeal and the two are finally putting their differences aside and moving on.

Athrin starts to leaves with F.T.S as the timekeeper hands him the King of Kirin World Title. Sword and his allies exit the ring a few seconds afterward as Drake Yoshida frantically runs out to talk with both groups. I can't quite make out what he's saying but he appears both angry and nervous and it almost looks like he's mouthing something about the second explosion. Drake does not look happy at all and appears to be nervously scanning the audience while trying to verbally usher everyone out of the ring. But the ref and nurse Gooses are still lingering there."

[John:] "What the hell! A THIRD explosion!? What is going on here! Everyone is shocked, least of which being Sword and Athrin who appear enraged at this! A third explosion could have killed them in the condition they were in!! Drake is almost as angry and all of them march backstage while other medics come out to quickly drag the gooses out and help Anji who appears hurt given what he just went through! Seriously, that man is a tank but three explosions is asking a lot even of him! Folks, I'm getting word backstage from Drake that we have to finish tonight before anyone else gets hurt and the fans are being instructed to leave in an orderly but quick fashion. We're all wondering who's behind this but I don't think the suspects are far from our minds. Good bye everyone and we'll see you at the next Circuit show in September."

*The show fades to black.*

Circuit - May 2011

Universal Circuit - May 2011

*We get an uncustomary 'cold opening' to the show. Rather then pan around the arena and its fans, we cut right to the commentators: John Randolph and James Ward.*

[John:] "Good evening fans and sorry for-"

[James:] "F*CK. We're not even five seconds into the show and already you're being a pussy."

[John:] "I'm merely apologizing to them for the lack of our usual opening festivities."

[James:] "They won't lose sleep over it. Who needs to see the sh*tbags in the audience anyway? You wanna make the sh*tbags at home feel better about themselves for not going all the way here and spending money to watch this live?"

[John:] "So I'm guessing you had something to do with this?"

[James:] "You cracked the case, defective."

[John:] "You mean detect-."

[James:] "I know what I said. And yeah, we put the fear of Jinchuu into the production team and had them trim this show of its self-indulgent tripe. Too bad we couldn't get the whole thing sh*tcanned but that will come in time."

[John:] "So I hear."

[James:] "You can doubt us all you want but if you f'n mouth off to me with that bitch ass sarcasm one more time, I swear I will-"

*James doesn't have time to finish his threat as Marauder runs out from the back and clobbers him with an "Inertian Hammer"*

[John:] "And to think there'd be repercussions for setting his friend on fire..."

*As Marauder ferociously lands punches onto the downed and nearly unconscious James Ward, Kyle Walker runs to the announce table, grabs James' chair and slams it over Marauder's back. There is no effect other then Marauder turning around and then chasing Kyle into the ring. On the way, Marauder grabs a UBL banner and wraps it around his shoulders. This seems to enrage Kyle to the level that Marauder was when he came out. The two stare holes through each other while they are seperated by the referee for as long as he can hold them back to recite the usual match rules*

[John:] "I knew Marauder wouldn't be able to wait long for this match but I had no idea we'd start the show like this! Folks, we're getting right into our first scheduled match, even if it seems to be happening earlier on the card then I expected! But the bell has rung and who am I to stop the action! Here we go!"

*The crowd is stunned into silence.*

[John:] "Ok, I guess I'll say it. Kyle Walker has just defeated the Marauder: An enraged Marauder, no less. But what's more worrying to me is that Kyle may not feel physical pain. He just took everything Marauder had and kept coming back for more. He didn't merely withstand it, he relished the onslaught. And during the Battalion Title match last month, Kyle took the Thunder Clap from Thunder Strike and shrugged it off like it was nothing. His resiliency is highly disturbing, as is his realization of it."

*Kyle is looking around the ring with a crazed smile. While he seems to be moving around slowly, there are no traces of pain seen on his face.*

[John:] "Even though Marauder used his superior power and bigger frame to control Kyle for much of the match, he wasn't able to keep him down. Eventually, Kyle hit a version of his "P'd off K" and then finished Marauder off with the same move that eviscerated Orochi Geese: the sheer head drop that Kyle now calls the "KyleDriver".

Marauder (X) ["KyleDriver" - 14:41] (O) Kyle Walker

[John:] "And if you're familiar with Jinchuu, you know this encounter isn't over by a long shot. Jakob of Furis came out to ringside the second the match ended. And James Ward is back on his feet as well. The two stalk their way to the ring as Kyle holds Marauder on the ground by rubbing his elbow into his face. But before the three can do any more then put the boots to Marauder, help has arrived! A chair-wielding Matt Rivers and Luke Kisiera run down to the ring...followed by...what!? Could that be!?"

*The fans ERUPT as Indy James runs down to ringside*

[John:] "It's Indy James! The man who Furis brutally injured in a cage match a few years ago during his 'transformation' phase. Indy takes out a whip and starts giving the business to Furis who doesn't back down one bit! The two are actually now brawling through the crowd! Luckily Indy put away his whip so the fans don't get a leather souvenir! Meanwhile, Matt and Luke hold Kyle and James at bay long enough for Marauder to get to his feet! Kyle seethes but orders James to leave the ring with him."

*Matt and Luke help Marauder backstage. The Battle-Tron turns on and we see Jason Hyde helping Jakob of Furis to run Indy James off.*

[John:] "Looks like Jason had a more strategic approach tonight then the other members. But you have to be shocked at what we saw from Indy James here. As well as Furis' reaction which appears to be licking the blood from his wounds inflicted by Indy's whip. Folks, we're cutting to commercial, too much here needs to be sorted out and taken back under control."

*A teaser trailer airs for Battle Formation II showing a slowly zooming in video of the King of Kirin World Title on a wall.*

[John:] "Well we are back and amazingly, I'm not joined by James Ward. I guess that means we have some time for 'indulgences' like oh, I dunno...showing the full card of matches for tonight? Absolutely hedonistic, I know."

*The Battle Tron turns on showing 5 matches*

Match #1: Marauder vs. Kyle Walker
Match #2: Flare Foundation vs. Warrior MAX
Match #3: Mark Spirals vs. Chuck "The Ripper" Madrox vs. Perfectshawn Stevens
Match #4: Koji Keo'ke vs. Corruptor
Match #5: Battalion Tag Titles #1 Contendership: Team RELOAD vs. Snake Mountain

[John:] "Well we sure as heck already had our first match. No need to have that one again. Unfortunately, reports from backstage are that Marauder was more then just a little shaken by the KyleDriver. He was able to stand up and walk to the back but it's possible we have another concussion on our hands. Obviously this isn't the worst thing in the world compared to our last few shows, but with Marauder's injury and Kyle's victory, you still have to chalk this one up in Jinchuu's win column: even with Indy James' return. But perhaps we can continue the night in relative stability.

Then again, when you think 'stability', the two men coming out now are far from it. Warriors MAX, the team of KAOS and X, are making their way to the ring in their official UBL debut. Anyone familiar with FPCPP knows KAOS, the 'artist' formerly known as Omega. This guy is a few cards short of a rolodex, if you get what I'm saying. And his partner appears to be obedient and fierce, a scary combination.

Their opponents are two fan favorites in the Flare Foundation: the team of Joe Flare and the SCW Champion, Jack Flare. We've seen a lot of promise from this young but highly experienced and talented team. They are hoping to impress Drake enough to earn a Battalion Title shot after Battle Formation. It's possible Drake wanted them to face an 'unstable' team to gauge how they'd do against Jinchuu, the current Battalion Champions. As for Warriors MAX, perhaps Drake thought having one more group of radicals in UBL could actually disrupt Jinchuu. It's risky thinking but one thing is for sure, this is going to be a tough match for both teams. Let's get to the ring for some UBL tag-teamery."

Match #2: Flare Foundation vs. Warrior MAX

[John:] "It looks like the Flares were a bit more intense then the Warriors were ready for. X got busted open and Jack Flare used the same finisher that has given him such a run of momentum in the last few years. You have to hand it to the Warriors for pushing the Flares this far though, especially in their debut match. But I think the Flares just wanted this more as they've been in UBL for the last year and are, in my opinion, ready to break into the Title scene. In some ways they remind me of the current OG-Joshi Tag Team Champions, the Reed Sisters. Both are sibling tandems who are experienced beyond their actual years with a lot of talent and recent success. Let's see if the Flares can reach the same heights in UBL."

Joe/Jack Flare (O) ["Jackked Up!" - 26:07] (X) X/Kaos

[John:] "And we turn next to a match with possible NEXUS Title implications. Perfect Shawn Stevens is the "Perfect Royalty" stablemate of current NEXUS Champion, Julian Caesaro. Shawn made this match to test out two wrestlers he believes have NEXUS Title contendership potential: Mark Spirals and Chuck Madrox. Now whether this means they will be hand-picked for a Title match if they win OR if they are simply being targetted for a beatdown is difficult to tell. But if there is a beatdown, I'm not sure how it will sit with one of our notable but late arriving audience members."

*Corey O'Brian is coming down to an empty seat in the front row and sits down with a drink in hand. The fans are excited to have him nearby but are keeping their respectful distance given the serious mood he is in.*

[John:] "There's the man that came within a hair of becoming NEXUS Champion at OG-FPD Ragnarok in December. A man who was in a match voted "best of the show" by many fans. Tonight he turns his attention to Chuck Madrox. Corey and Chuck have been establishing quite a feud over the last few months. What began in an elimination match last year for a Title shot has turned into a heated war of words. And these two men are set to finally face off one on one in an upcoming episode of Orochi-O's TV. If Shawn has something up his sleeve tonight, he would do well to realize that Corey has already staked his interest in knocking Chuck's jaw off. As for Mark Spirals, he also has some back up tonight to make sure he isn't wrongfully attacked outside the confines of the match."

*Tyler Jett, Jayden Blayze, Heather Heaton, and Rachel Sky are seen in the audience sitting together. Jayden has on one of those hats with straws coming out the side which go into the wearer's mouth. He also has a considerable mountain of mini hamburgers (or "sliders") balanced precariously on his lap.*

[John:] "Four of the members of Gen X are in the crowd getting ready to cheer their ally, Mark Spirals. We saw Tyler and Jayden come to his aid in January when F.T.S. tried to attack him so I think he is adequately protected here. They also are ensuring that Mark is adequately cheered as he comes out to ringside. One particular member of the crew appears to be cheering extra hard, that being Rachel Sky. Lot of charisma in that girl! Jayden, not wanting to be outdone, seems to be stepping up his cheering as well but that results in pieces of food shooting out of his mouth. Manners, thy name is not Blayze.

Speaking of questionable manners, Chuck "The Ripper" Madrox comes out swilling a bottle of beer. He spits some in the general direction of Corey, close enough to make O'Brian stand to attention in case Chuck wanted to give him any more sass. But Chuck just smiles and rolls into the ring while Corey sits back down keeping eye contact with Chuck. Shawn is out next and claps for both wrestlers in the ring, appearing to respect them. But actions speak louder then idle clapping, and we'll see what happens during and after this match. Let's get to the ring!"

[John:] "Regardless of intentions, Shawn certainly set up an entertaining match. But he also fell short of victory as Chuck made Mark Spirals tap out to "The Whiskey Bent" after manuevering Shawn out of the ring. A smart strategy by Chuck especially given how effective Shawn was during the match. Despite all the liquor, Chuck made the right move and took a big victory. Given how Corey and Chuck's feud has revolved around challenging for the NEXUS Title, you gotta figure Chuck made headway here. But the Title shot at Battle Formation still belongs to Daddy Prime Time who we witnessed defeat Corey at the March Open.

Meanwhile, Shawn nods his head at the proceedings and actually goes backstage without incident. Chuck and Corey have another staring contest which gets about half the attention from the fans. The other half is going to cheering Mark Spirals who also goes backstage. Even though Mark just made it onto the Front Lines roster this January, he's performing well beyond the expectations of a rookie. He just went toe to toe with a UBL veteran in Shawn and a man near the top of the NEXUS division in Chuck. I'd say Mark had a pretty damn good showing here, as a result. I know he pushes himself hard to be at his personal best and would have liked to win this, but I see nothing but future success for this man. His time will come."

Chuxk Madrox (O) ["The Whiskey Bent" - 25:49] (X) Mark Spirals (-) Perfectshawn Stevens

[John:] "And we're gonna take a small commercial break. Be back soon, folks."

*Another Battle Formation teaser airs, this time zeroing in on the NEXUS Championship Belt hanging on a wall.*

[John:] "We're back again and...well, once again joined by Jinchuu representative, James Ward."

[James:] "..."

[John:] "Ohhh-k. Nothing to say, Mr. Ward?"

[James:] "Yeah, don't piss me off. I'm just here to watch the next match."

[John:] "I guess the Corruptor got your attention at the last show. And he and Koji Keo'ke are now set to face each other. Koji has had a lot of success in UBL but hasn't quite gotten a NEXUS Title shot yet. But he can boast an impressive victory and overall heroic effort against Chuck Madrox in a tightly contested three match series that Chuck narrowly won out in. As for the Corruptor, he just earned himself a spot onto the Main Roster after defeating Matt River-"

*James spits*

[James:] "Don't say that name for the rest of the night."

[John:] "Ok, after Corruptor beat...the aforementioned Field Leader, he then went on to beat Vert Triangle in a swap match that we saw during the last show. That victory earned him a spot on the Main Roster. Tonight he has a real test in Koji Keo'ke. If Corruptor can beat Koji, that will send him flying up the NEXUS contendership ladder. If not, well, that's ok too, I guess. Right?"

[James:] "Huh? You want me to make you feel better? What the f*ck is wrong with you?"

[John:] "Just making conversation."

[James:] "Are you some needy bitch or something? I thought you wanted me out of here."

[John:] "As much as I hate talking to you, it's even worse when you're just sitting there staring at the ring...with that hateful look in your eyes."

*James puts a cigar in his mouth and shrugs his shoulders.*

[James:] "I'll never understand women."

[John:] "Well, we're gonna get to the ring now. Koji has come down with a lot of crowd support. Corruptor is out next to total silence. I don't know what it is but he seems to freak the crowd out."

[James:] "I got an idea."

[John:] "So then say it."

[James:] "Don't order me to do sh*t. Like I said, it's just an idea. And I'm out here to make sure no one pulls anything to mess up our plans."

[John:] "Uh...ok. Maybe I'm 'needy' but you seem a bit paranoid."

*James smacks John on the back of his head.*

[James:] "That's your warning."

[John:] "Ok, ok...ouch."

[James:] "Just get to the ring, I'm sick of waiting for this to go down."

[John:] "Well if your suspicion referred to watching one of the best matches of the year, you sure called that one. Koji Keo'ke just gave his all but he could not extinguish the fire that the Corruptor himself possesses. The irony of beating a guy from Hawaii with the Volcanic Eruption isn't lost on me."

Koji Keo'ke (X) [Volcanic Eruption - 24:48] (O) Corruptor

[James:] "Being a man sure is."

[John:] "Right, you did call me a woman before. I remember. Thanks."

[James:] "OG-Johnshi over here."

[John:] "You know, I'd actually laugh at how clever that was if you weren't such a despicable human being."

[James:] "Get used to it."

[John:] "I could sure get used to seeing matches like the one we just had. A tough loss for Koji but to wrestle that hard is certainly its own reward."

[James:] "What bullsh*t are you spewing now? The dude lost. That's it. There's no honor in losing and there's no honor in this goddamn ring. It's a joke. People like you and Geese are self-important f*cks who think this whole place, this whole industry, is some kind of 'cathedral of competition' or something. It's nothing but a f'n sewer."

[John:] "Well speaking of those who think they're holy..."

*The camera re-focuses to Corruptor on one knee in the middle of the ring. He is soaking in the boos and the hatred when "Diamonds are Forever" plays and out comes Julian Caesaro, Perfect Shawn, and the Royale Deities. Corruptor slowly stands up and turns around, preparing himself for anything. Julian has a determined look on his face and takes off his jacket and gets in the ring along with P.Shawn. Then Julian gets in Corruptor face. The crowd is chanting "Fight". Julian looks at the crowd and smiles and he grabs Corruptor's arm and raises his hand while The Deities comes in the ring and start clapping. Julian gets the mic*

[Julian:] You can't always get what you want...Now shut up and pay attention, you derelicts...What you see here before you...is history being made...After months and months of searching for a perfect candidate to defend my Royale Nexus Title..I found him...It should've been my first choice...Isn't that right....brother?"

*Corruptor nods his head. The crowd is confused*

[Julian:] Ya see, you ingrates..You know him as The Corruptor..but I know him as Markus...my brother..My horribly scarred brother...See, he was like everyone of you..until a "certain incident" turned him into a monster...a smart monster *Markus rubs his wrists..Malenko-Style* So he hides his face...Not to protect your eyes..but to protect himself from the likes of you..So with that being said...Markus will defend my title...Markus will be my successor...And if you thought I was ruthless now, UBL... *Julian laughs* You have another thing coming....That was your Royale Scripture! WOOOOOOOOOOO!"

*Julian drops the mic as Perfect Royalty pose in the middle of the ring.*

[John:] "A bombshell has been dropped! Not only has the Corruptor turned out to be Markus Caesaro, Julian's brother, but he will now be defending the NEXUS-"

*James, ignoring John, gets up from his chair and grabs a microphone.*

[James:] "Hey...Caesaros! Yeah I'm talking to you, unless you got a third and fourth brother in the crowd somewhere-"

[John:] "Well actually, I do believe they have a third brother named Jin-"

[James:] "Listen up, I dont give a shit which one of you defends that worthless title but Jinchuu has a message for you. By the end of this year, we're gonna be holding all the gold here just as a matter of principle. So you swap that title back and forth all you want. Have a member of the crowd hold it, for all we care. Just know that once Battle Formation is over, we're coming for you. And like we proved in March - when we want a Title, we get it."

*Perfect Royalty walk backstage laughing at James who stands up to get in their way. Julian does a Royal Shuffle to get around him, to the laughter of some fans while Markus stares James down before going backstage himself.*

[John:] "Well, a huge challenge...or threat..made by James on behalf of Jinchuu. But I don't think it really got to them."

[James:] "We will get to them. I don't care who you are or what group you are a part of. FTS, 'Perfect Royalty', Gen X, Snake Mountain. it doesn't matter to us. If you have gold, if you stand in our way, if you have any connection to Geese, or if you simply have the nerve to respect this putrid ring, we will crush you."

[John:] "Quite a broad mission statement. Meanwhile, speaking of respect, Koji Keo'ke's performance in this match just got retroactively more interesting. Cause now it turns out that he just took the new NEXUS Champion representative 25 minutes in the ring and almost defeated him! I don't know what would have happened if Koji would have won that match -"

[James:] "I would have laughed, that's what would have happened."

[John:] "Even not taking the past match into consideration, Markus is an interesting choice to be Julian's representative cause the two don't always get along so well. But I'm sure Julian had a good reason for making this happen. And the fact is, beating someone like Koji who has gravitated near that NEXUS Title picture is a huge deal for Markus. It's his first big win in UBL over a major opponent on the Reserve roster, and it couldn't have come on a better night for him."

[James:] "I'm sure everything will turn out all sunshine and puppies for Perfect Strangers..."

[John:] "Uh...you mean "Perfect Royalty."

[James:] "Whatever, can we finish this sh*t up already?"

[John:] "We can after one more commercia-"

[James:] "Oh come on! The fans really need to see another Belt on a wall? Just get to the damn main event! We all know Battle Formation is this June!""

[John:] "Fine, fine We have our main event up next-

[James:]: "I already said that!"

[John:] and it is to determine who goes to Battle Formation to challenge for Jinchuu's Battalion Championship."

[James:] "Jason Hyde and Kyle Walker, THE Battalion Champions. Sounds great doesn't it? Real UBL representatives, real loyalists. Super tight with Geese and Thunder Strike. I hear they want to get 'closer' to Yoshida too, get a real bond forming."

*James starts laughing as John cringes.*

[John:] "Well, tonight the teams of RELOAD and Snake Mountain will battle to see who gets the Battalion Title shot. Snake Mountain earned their spot in this match when Nightmare won a tag team Battle Royale on Orochi-O's TV a few short months ago. RELOAD got this spot when they defeated the Burn Ward last month in addition to their victory last year over the Golden Pair who recently beat Metapocalypse."

[James:] "What the f*ck did you just say? Can you walk me through that again, Professor? Who stabbed who with the candlestick in the S&M room?"

[John:] "In March, Drake recognized that both the Golden Pair and Team RELOAD were in top position for a title shot but awarded this match to RELOAD by virtue of them defeating the Golden Pair last year."

[James:] "That's Drake all right: coming up with bullsh*t ways to give out Title shots. And that's not even counting the times he's blatantly handing out meaningless rookie Titles like they were last place little league trophies."

[John:] "Hey, kids deserve to feel special-"

[James:] "Drake makes all the losers feel special here. Just like he did for that piece of sh*t Matt Rivers. And when he's not outright giving sh*tty awards, he's allowing Caesaro to share his Title like he does his girlfriends. I heard sh*t about Avalon that would make your skin crawl."

[John:] "I don't think you want to go there at all. Julian is very protective of his Deities and is not a man to make comments like that about. Especially now with Markus in his group. Plus, remember that Julian beat Geese before his fall, unlike you."

[James:] "Urge to pummel...rising-"

[John:] "If you say stuff about Avalon, Julian may go all Jinchuu on you."

*James hits John harder on the back of the head then he did before*

[James:] "Don't you dare compare the two situations. Avalon ain't Robin Walker."

[John:] "Ouch. Uh anyway, getting back to this match and who Drake chose to be in it. I thought you liked Team RELOAD."

[James:] "No, I liked that Sonny beat Geese's ass every time they wrestle. But I don't like communists trying to take over America through pro wrestling."

[John:] "Just cause they're from Russia doesn't mean...wait...rewind. Did you just say that there is a communist plot to take over America through pro wrestling?"

[James:] "I got my sources, pinko."

[John:] "Well you certainly have a good grasp of colors."

[James:] "I know red best of all. Want a sample?"

[John:] "Alright, I get it. RELOAD's opponents, Snake Mountain, clearly part of the evil global organization C.O.B.R.A., will be represented tonight by Naja Mask and Dokuja."

[James:] "They're gonna wrestle here even though Nightmare won this match for them? More bullsh*t. And by the way, C.O.B.R.A. snake oil drives up gas prices."

[John:] "Are you messing with me here? No? Ohhh ok then. The fact is, Snake Mountain all determined this was the best combination to face RELOAD. Whether that is correct will be decided soon. But Drake had no problem with them deciding who would wrestle. I think they're going to be overpowered by RELOAD but Naja knows a thing or two how to deal with larger and stronger opponents."

[James:] "If you say the other M-Word, I am going to throw you through the Tron."

[John:] "Ok, no "M-words" but Naja has a lot of experience against all sizes and shapes of opponents. And Dokuja won the match for Snake Mountain at Ragnarok against...well, let's just keep it at that."

[James:] "Damn straight."

[John:] "So while Snake Mountain is clearly underweighted, I wouldn't bet against them."

[James:] "Right, you're a betting man! You need balls for that."

[John:] "And of course, I'm just a pretty lady."

[James:] "I never said you were a pretty one."

[John:] "My mistake. So I imagine you'll be watching this match pretty intently given that the winners will face your allies."

[James:] "Really observant."

[John:] "Do you have a prediction?"

[James:] "Team RELOAD. Naja is overrated just like the entire era of UBL he wrestled in. I've faced him many times before and-"

[John:] "Say, who won the last match between you two?"

*James pushes John hard out of his chair and stands up ready to hit him but John wisely runs backstage.*

[James:] "F*ck off, coward. I predict it doesn't matter who wins this sh*t match cause Jinchuu are going to bury either team at Battle Formation."

*James goes silent at this point, clearly pissed off at something, as both teams make their entrances. Team RELOAD comes to the ring to cheers from the crowd while Snake Mountain gets boos and hisses (some of which provided by Naja in return). Naja sticks his tongue out at James as he passes by which almost causes him to get clocked but James thinks better of it due to Nightmare coming out along side the other two. The bell rings and the match starts.*

[James:] "Sh*t match from sh*tty teams. There's your analysis. Deal with it."

Sonny X/REDD (O) [Brain Claw - 27:21] (O) Dokuja/Naja Mask

[James:] "And now a real team has come out!"

*Jason Hyde and Kyle Walker walk through the curtains onto the ramp to massive booing. They hold their Battalion Titles high while staring at Team RELOAD. Kyle grabs a microphone and waits for silence from the crowd.*

[Kyle:] "Thanks for the entertainment. Nothing like watching Naja get skinned."

*Naja Mask hisses from outside the ring and starts to approach Jinchuu but Nightmare leads him and Dokuja through the crowd away from potential conflict given their fatigue after the match. Kyle smirks at them then turns his attention back to Team RELOADwith a calm expression.*

[Kyle:] "Sonny, REDD... I'm not a bad guy. *Crowd drowns him in boos but he ignores them*. So I'm gonna give you two a chance to save your careers. Why? Cause you both are freelancers and have nothing to do specifically with this putrid fed. But most of all, I enjoyed watching Sonny beat the sh*t out of Geese in FPCPP. It was one of the few moments of actual fun I had over the last five years cause I got to watch Geese's spirit get crushed as he failed to win yet another World Title. I think I smoked a cigarette after that."

*James lights and hands a cigar to Kyle who takes a puff. The fans are relentlessly booing them but he increases the volume on the microphone.*

[Kyle:] "The way I see it, there's no reason we have to hurt you two. And there are other things I'd much rather be doing during Battle Formation then wasting time defending these worthless belts. So if you scrap your Title shot right now and stay out of our way, you get to continue your careers."

*Sonny X takes a second to consider the offer which draws worried crowd murmerings. He then looks at REDD who slowly shakes his head no as the fans start to wildly cheer. Sonny X smirks and gives Kyle the finger to even more raucous applause. James looks so offended you'd think he was shot while Kyle just looks down and shakes his head in disappointment.*

[Kyle:] "That's too bad, Sonny. Having to retire from injuries suffered in a promotion not even your own? Taking that long, grueling trip back to Russia while in traction? Watching your bodyguard get crippled? All on your shoulders now. You're gonna feel almost as gulty as Geese-"

*Sonny mock yawns which seems to anger Kyle as his voice drops in bass and he appears to go into somewhat of a trance.*

[Kyle:] "You want to feel the force of our cause? The justice of Jinchuu is now aimed squarely at you. It is too late to avert our gaze and avoid your demise. I just hope the hospital has enough room for that dumb masked oaf standing next to you...and your brother D-Mask."

*Sonny's smile fades and he starts to leave the ring to approach Jinchuu. Kyle smirks and drops the mic. And without breaking his piercing look at Sonny, Kyle walks backwards through the curtain. Jason holds his Battalion Belt up one more time before going backstage himself. James follows Kyle and Jason while REDD tries to calm down Sonny The fans cheer for an agitated Sonny and REDD as the show comes to a close.*

March 2011 Open

2011-03-27T04:06:00.003-04:00

Universal Open - March 2011

(Note: My cap program was causing me audio problems for the last few weeks. That problem is now taken care of for future matches but a few videos have desynch problems. So just turn the sound down and gently hum to yourself. The match quality should compensate fine.)

*The Universal Battle Chamber in the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena erupts in cheers from the fans. Blue and gold pyro shoots off followed by dark red pyro as the "Jinchuu" kanji flashes on the BattleTron which is met by boos. John Randolph walks to the announcing desk after seeing the Jinchuu kanji and nervously puts a headset on.*

[John:] "Welcome to the March Open, an event which many have been anxious about ever since the ending of the January Circuit show. With our owner Orochi Geese incapacitated in the hospital due to the attack and rogue movement of his former friend Kyle Walker, things are more violent and unstable then ever here. And that isn't even hyperbole despite the past instances chaos of this promotion: we really are in a dangerous state of flux that can bring UBL down to its knees.

It is unclear who truly has the power right now which is why this show is so crucial. Our top Championships and key contenderships will be on the line tonight and if Kyle walks out as one half of the Battalion Champions, UBL could be in for a summer that makes even last one's seem pleasant in comparison. But before we get ahead of ourselves with the doom and gloom, let's check out tonight's entire card."

*The Battletron turns on to display the matches*

Match #1: Goro Yamashita vs. James Ward
Match #2: Team RELOAD vs. Burn Unit
Match #3: Swap Match: Vert Triangle vs. Corruptor
Match #4: NEXUS Championship #1 Contendership: Corey O'Brian vs. Daddy Prime Time
Match #5: Universal Championship Coronation: Jang Bae/Thunder Strike vs. Jason Hyde/Kyle Walker

[John:] "We've got quite a card ranging from grudge matches to Title matches. So let's get started with the former. Goro Yamashita was airing his grievances last month towards Jinchuu and was interrupted by one of their members, James Ward. I can't remember the last time two individuals automatically disliked each other from the second their eyes met like Goro and James did. While Goro showed restraint, James sucker punched him and that set up this match.

What worries me is what James said towards the end of their encounter: That Jinchuu is here to punish Geese and hurt those who stand in their way, rather then win matches. I believe Goro is skilled enough to get a pinfall and certainly tough enough to defend himself in a fight but the recent looks in the eyes of James Ward, Jakob of Furis, and Kyle Walker tells me that Goro better be ready for anything. Luckily. he's not alone in this arena. His best friend Marauder is backstage and I believe Luke Kisiera is too. Unfortunately their ally Matt Rivers is still recovering in a hospital from taking those two "Exhibit M's" that the Corruptor used to defeat him a few weeks ago during Orochi-O's TV. So their alliance is a man short here tonight but hopefully Genji Security steps up and actually does their job.

Goro is coming to the ring now and looks ready for a war. While James got the cheap shot in against him and then claimed the superiority of American boxing, I think we have to call Goro the favorite in the striking game tonight. The man is a former Chinese boxing champion and even though his legs were badly burned and injured, he hasn't lost enough of a step to make me think James can outbox or outkick him. James is coming to the ring now, to no music at all, and is doing some warmup punching. Maybe we should have just made this a boxing match at this rate! The second James gets into the ring he goes for Goro and the bell has rung!

[John:] "Goro is able to put James away with a blindingly quick swarm of punches which he calls the "Tempest". You do have to hand it to James for being able to keep up with Goro's stand up for most of the match. It's somewhat of a shocking feat cause, folks, let's face it, this is the former Centurion we just saw duke it out with a boxing Champion. Even when Naja Mask pushed Marauder in the ring last year in one on one matches, at least we were familiar with Naja's tag team competency. But up until January, the Centurion was a joke in every type of match for his entire career. So to see him competing at this level is truly extraordinary. I'd even venture to say that had James not riled Goro up to defend his style and UBL, it's possible James could have taken this. He almost put this match away a few times but the resiliency of Goro is incredibly impressive.

As an aside, it's not entirely clear which roster Goro is on. He started on the Front Lines but was put in big matches before the Field Leader title was established. Those are circumstances in which other wrestlers made it onto the Main roster. So it wouldn't shock me to see Goro retroactively and silently promoted. Considering his victories over current Field Leader Matt Rivers, promotion wouldn't be too out of line. And with Jinchuu waging their treacherous campaign, we may need Goro on this roster. Wait, hold that thought, this isn't over-

Goro Yamashita (O) ["Tempest" - 15:26] (X) James Ward

*Kyle Walker slides out from under the ring to the shock of the fans. They try to warn Goro but its too late. Kyle launches into the air with a flying knee and knocks Goro down from behind. James holds him down with a stranglehold camel clutch as Kyle pulls a cigarette lighter out of his boot. As Goro struggles to get away, Kyle ignites the lighter and sets Goro's legs on fire!!*

[John:] "The fans are screaming for help and out of shock. But somehow Goro is able to keep his pain silent! The man is a rock! He isn't giving Jinchuu the satisfaction of hearing him suffer!"

*Goro has a brave face on as sweat profusely rolls down his forehead. Kyle appears insulted by this showing of poise and kicks him in the face a few times, causing blood to mix with the sweat. James gets up off Goro as the fire spreads to his upper body. Goro then tries to roll on the ground but Kyle keeps re-igniting him while laughing.*

[John:] "This is too much. We're not just seeing revenge here, we're seeing the actions of a truly psychotic man."

*Marauder and Luke Kisiera finally make it to the ring. Kyle doesn't appear intimidated and chooses to leave on his own accord, convincing James to do the same. Medics are then allowed into the ring to attend to Marauder while Kyle grabs a microphone.*

[Kyle:] "This was just a warning of what happens if you get in our way. Disrespecting our mission is disrespecting my sister and we all know what happens when you do that. My mental scars in having to watch her suffer over the years will be dealt ten fold onto UBL and fifty fold onto anyone that specifically deserves it. In January we just begun to deliver that sentence onto Geese. Tonight, we burned the scars into Goro's legacy. Marauder, you can be next. So can you, Luke. And you don't even have to go through it alone. Ask yourself what happens when a 'cupcake' stays in the oven too long."

*Luke goes to approach Kyle but Marauder holds him back. Kyle smirks and goes back up the ramp with James while the medics, Marauder, and Luke attend to a writhing and blistering Goro.*

[John:] "We're going to commercial."

*Commercials air for the OG-Joshi March Amplitude.

*We return to the show as John looks disturbed that James Ward is leaning back in a chair next to him.*

[John:] "Yamashita Goro is being taken to the hospital and is being escorted by there by Marauder and Luke-"

[James:] "Boo-hoo. What's the ole saying? If ya can't stand the heat, then stay out of Kyle's kitchen!"

*John stands up and runs a short distance, calling for security. When they don't come, he sighs and walks back to the desk to see James smirking at him.*

[John:] "And apparently I'm being joined by a guest."

[James:] "Guest? I invited myself. You got a problem with it?"

[John:] "I think everyone has a problem with what Jinchuu just did="

[James:] "Tough shit."

[John:] "And that's why you came out here, to give that thoughtful response?"

[James:] "You cruisin for a bruisin too?"

[John:] "No! No...I'm just curious as to why you are out here."

[James:] "Easy. Jinchuu wants fair coverage and we know we're not getting that from a Yoshida pissant like you. So as of now, I've got a seat here. But we're a reasonable sort, so I'll tell you what i'm gonna do. If you don't like me, I can always let Furis take my place. You remember him doncha?"

*John turns visibly pale*

[James:] "Yeah, you do! You're makin a face just like him! Poor guy hasn't seen much sun. You want me to send him out here so you two can get reaquainted? I know you two go way back. I'm sure he'd like to pick your brain...or neck...about all the things you've said about him the last few years. So what'll it be?"

[John:] "You can stay."

[James:] "What's that? I couldn't hear over you shittin' your pants."

[John:] "No. You'll...you'll be just fine."

[James:] "There we go. Now, I'll come out here whenever I want. Talk when I want. Make you talk when I want. You just try not to piss me off and we won't have another BBQ."

[John:] "Uh ok, well, we're gonna get to the next match now."

[James:] "Fine with me..."

[John:] "And in a terrible sense of irony or timing or just unintentional cruelty, one of the next teams is Pyro Dean and Acid Rain...the Burn Unit."

*James just about falls off his chair laughing.*

[James:] "They...*laughter* probably could have helped ole Goro out, huh?"

*James continues laughing as John looks defeated.*

[John:] "Their opponents are Team Reload who are made up of Redd and former FPCPP World Champion, Sonny X."

[James:] "That's the fella who beat Geese right?"

[John:] "Yes, he defeated Geese in the inaugural FPCPP Championship match."

[James:] "This is tough. Dudes who remind me of what we just did to Goro vs. a dude who humiliated Geese. I'm gonna call this a push. Who you like?"

[John:] "Well-"

*John pauses waiting to be cut off*

[James:] "What the hell, boy. I asked who you like in this match?"

[John:] "I didn't expect you to really care."

[James:] "I'm out here for scouting as well as "public relations". So you better give it to me straight. When Kyle and that Hyde boy win tonight, I want to know who their future opponents are."

[John:] "Well I think Burn Unit is the better team but REDD is a monster and Sonny X is one of the best singles wrestlers in the entire world. I can't pick a winner because it all depends on what kind of match this becomes and where it plays out. If Burn Unit keep this in their corner, I think they can take it. But if they try to fight 1 on 1 with Reload, they are gonna get beaten. Sonny is too dangerous and REDD is too strong for either member of Burn Unit to try to do this without help."

[James:] "Good enough for me. Maybe I won't dismember you, after all."

[John:] "...Thanks?"

*James laughs and puts his arm around John. He pulls out two cigars.*

[James:] "Smoke?"

[John:] "Under the circumstances, no."

*James has another laughing fit*

[John:] "And both teams have now come to the ring and it looks like we're ready for this match. There have been rumblings backstage that the winner of this match may get an opportunity soon to become #1 contender to the Battalion Champions but Drake has kept things purposefully unofficial to allow him maximum flexibility-"

[James:] "You mean to fuck people over and lie to them. Yeah I know all about Drake. He's the reason the Centurion 'became a joke'. Before his family bought UBL the fans respected me. You can ask anyone from that time! It was the golden era of UBL before it was polluted by Geese and Thunder Strike, Marauder and Naja, Nightmare and the like. Don't expect Drake to shoot straight with you about history like ole James here."

[John:] "I'll remember that. In any case, both teams are ready so let's get to the ring."

[James:] "I thought we were already there? Where you at? The outhouse? You sure smell it."

*James snorts and laughs again as John places his head in his hands.*

[John:] "And Team RELOAD takes this match but not without feats of incredible resiliency from Burn Unit. You gotta give a lot of credit to Acid here for his efforts and the near victory from the moonsault."

[James:] "Ahh the moon, brings back memories."

[John:] "That's true you were injured there by...wait...Kyle Walker injured you on the moon."

*James smiles wryly*

[James:] "Wow, did he?"

[John:] "That was faked too?"

[James:] "You saying the moon landing was faked? I'll have you know America did that legit."

[John:] "No, I didn't mean that. Are you saying that Kyle knocking you out was part of the Jinchuu plan?"

[James:] "I'm saying a lot of things, it's up to you to figure it out."

[John:] "While we try to ponder all that, let's just absorb the knowledge that Team Reload has added an impressive victory over the Burn Unit to their arsenal here."

[James:] "Absorb? What are you, Mr. Clean? You look more like Madge."

[John:] "..."

Sonny X/REDD (O) [Torture Cobra Twist - 37:45] (X) Acid/Pyro

[John:] "Next up we have a grudge match between Vert Triangle and the Corruptor."

[James:] "Geese? Geese is back!?"

[John:] "Geese is not the corruptor."

[James:] "Could have fooled Robin Walker."

[John:] "Right, gotta maintain the party line."

[James:] "Fuck you."

[John:] "As I was saying, the Corruptor made his UBL debut a few months ago by crashing Vert Triangles 'return from injury' party on Orochi-O's TV. Vert took exception and wrestled him, only to get knocked out by Corruptor's "Exhibit M."

[James:] "Wait...let me get this straight. Some dude with a fucked up name comes back from being injured...only to get injured a few minutes later? Who says comedy is dead?!"

[John:] "Yeah, I can definitely see how you'd laugh at injury given your reason at revenge for Geese."

[James:] "You cut that shit out or I promise you'll be well done compared to Goro's sear."

[John:] "Uh...security?"

[James:] "Already tried that, already failed."

[John:] "Sigh. Well Vert is back and wanted revenge on Corruptor. You'd think the Corruptor would oblige but it wasn't so simple. The condition was that Vert could only get a rematch if he put his Main Reserve status on the line. Corruptor just beat Matt Rivers a month ago in a Field Leader match so he was looking for a Main Reserve member to 'swap' spots for. If he beats Vert, then Corruptor is on the Main Reserves and Vert gets placed on the Front Lines."

[James:] "And I care because?"

[John:] "Because Corruptor has shown signs of being a highly dangerous individual. And there have been internet rumblings about who his identity is. And not of the "WTF is UBBLE" type."

[James:] "WTF is...what?! What the shit kind of nonsense are you blabbering about? Spit it out already."

[John:] "Drake told me not to."

[James:] "You're gonna get the beating of your life, man."

[John:] "I'll take my chances."

[James:] "Oooh, a hero. Well then, let me savor your eventual destruction."

[John:] "All I'm saying is that if Corruptor is who he's rumored to be, Jinchuu aren't the only pitbulls on the block. So you better watch this match attentively."

[James:] "Quit yappin iike a poodle and maybe I will."

[John:] "What an incredible match!"

[James:] "Ok, I'll admit it, Corruptor didn't look half bad."

[John:] "Not only that, but did you see Vert put his final ounce of energy into his "Vertical Triangle" choke?"

[James:] "I saw him fall on his face after, that's for sure."

[John:] "Earlier in the match, Corruptor signalled for the Volcanic Eruption and hit it for the close two count. But he made a key mistake and signaled for it ahead of time AGAIN, giving Vert the chance to see it coming. He countered it with his own submission finisher but Corruptor had enough left in the tank to fight him off. Vert didn't. He put all he had left into that attempt and collapsed unconscious after."

[James:] "Like we say back home, he put all his eggs in one basket."

[John:] "He only had one egg left. Corruptor just had more. These two depleted each others energy levels for over twenty minutes. This was a war of attrition and Corruptor won."

[James:] "A war of nutrition? This ain't that LAWL embarrassment."

[John:] "No...not it is not. And the Corruptor has just made it onto the UBL Main Reserves Roster."

[James:] "Well, he won't enjoy his stay. UBL won't be around for much longer."

Vert Triangle (X) [Making the best out of a weird finish - 18:05] (O) The Corruptor

[John:] "Well it looks like it's time for intermission. You can, uh, get up and get something to eat, if you want."

[James:] "Thanks for the invitation. How about you get up and get bent?"

[John:] "Right. Let's go to commercials."

*Commercials for the TRIPLE MEX 'Ultimo Gringo' Finale show air.* When we get back, we see James casually playing with a lighter while John looks disgusted.*

*Marine's 'Baron' hits the speakers as Arthur Wingate walks with more determination then usual out to the ring, microphone in hand.*

[James:] "We got a redcoat here?"

[John:] "If we've suddenly traveled back in time to the 18th century."

[James:] "I'll punch you back there."

[John:] "Let's just listen to the red...uh, Arthur Wingate."

[Arthur:] "Sometimes life gets to the point where a gentleman must be a bit more forthcoming about his agenda. There has been much upheaval around here as of late and I believe I can offer the UBL a sense of clarity, security, and class that it has been lacking."

[James:] "Boy better watch himself."

[Arthur:] "I simply have no interest in the private matters of Orochi Geese and those who wish to "jinchuu" him, or whatever their unfortunately named mission is."

[James:] "Really barking up the wrong tree. He got one more chance to mind his own business or pay proper respect to ours."

[Arthur:] "The fact is that with Geese gone, I deserve to be in charge of the UBL. Ownership of this promotion is in my blood and it is clear that Drake is cowering under his desk hoping this Jinchuu storm cloud passes by on its own. I am not one to stay indoors. I do not take, as you Americans say, a 'rain check." I am a man of action and I do not appreciate being put in a position of inaction. Or being put against men paralyzed by poundage. It was an insult to face Mr. Ferguson last show and I am ready for a real challenge to show my supremacy and right to rule."

[James:] "If he wants to be declared King of a rotting corpse of a promotion, go right ahead. Though he's talking more like a queen with all them fancy words."

*Drake Yoshida comces out looking impatient and nervous as he eyes James.*

[Drake:] "Arthur, please understand the gravity of the situation we are in. If you would just cooperate-"

[Arthur:] "Never! As a knighted man, I refuse to partake in attempts to marginalize myself and my lineage!"

[Drake:] "Fine, you want a challenge? Arthur wasn't 'big' enough for you? Well, sometimes in UBL one has to face more then one opponent at a time. Right now, you are about to have a double challenge with a wrestler who has 'soared above others' and one who has 'tamed beasts'."

*Drake smirks as Parachute Rousseau and Grant Thumb come out to the stage, bickering intensely with each other over which is better, "Air or Land". Arthur looks mortififed at Rousseau's attire and Grant's size, or lack thereof.*

[Drake:] "Arthur, you've got 15 minutes to win or I'm suspending you for six months. Cut these public temper tantrums out and we can have a reasonable discussion about your place in this promotion."

[James:] "Well this oughta be as entertaining as a jackknifed truck ..."

[John:] "And Arthur beats the clock again!"

[James:] "What's the big deal? He beat two jokes"

[John:] "I'd think you, of all people, wouldn't use the word 'joke' to refer to wrestlers."

[James:] "What are you implying?"

[John:] "That after what we saw you do to Geese, every wrestler has the potential to be dangerous."

[James:] "Oh, ok. I see your point. But, come on, even at my most jovial, I was bigger then Grant and Rousseau combined. Even back in the day I was a powerhouse."

[John:] "Fighting two men can sometimes be harder then fighting one. But Arthur did it in under fifteen minutes and aside from having a few troubles with their manic styles, he was once again dominant. I don't always enjoy his speeches but you can't take anything away from his abilities. I think Drake is doing a disservice to the fans in not further showcasing and testing Mr. Wingate's abilities."

[James:] "The fans need to find some other form of entertainment. This show is garbage."

[John:] "Well folks, never let it be said that UBL is about constant positive self-promotion!"

Parachute Rousseau (-) Grant Thumb (X) ["Englishplex" - 14:44] (O) Arthur Wingate

[John:] "Well next we have the first of two main events with Championship implications. At the previous show, Corey O'Brian and Daddy Prime Time defeated Koji Keo'ke and Chuck "The Ripper" Madrox for the right to wrestle each other tonight. The winner becomes the new #1 Contender to Julian Caesaro's impressively defended NEXUS Championship."

[James:] "I don't like DPT. He makes me sick, that white haired weirdo."

[John:] "Is he a copycat of Kyle with that hair?"

[James:] "*Spits*"

[John:] "I see. What do you think of Corey O'Brian?"

[James:] "Well you know, I don't like him either but at least he could put up a good fight."

[John:] "I can't help but think that you have heard Corey's past anti-Geese remarks."

[James:] "Why can't you ever say things normally, man? What the hell is that 'I can't help but think' garbage supposed to mean? Just say it like a regular dude."

[John:] " I'm guessing you've also heard some of the praise Geese has heaped onto DPT."

[James:] "Heaped? What? Is he piling leaves?"

[John:] "Ok, I get it. So you think Corey is going to win this match?"

[James:] "Corey will out-fight him, no doubt about that. But DPT, like Geese, is a dirty cheat. That's why Geese likes him so much. Corey better watch out for DPT doing something illegal."

[John:] "Your perception of legality is intriguing given your pyromania earlier."

[James:] "I am going to shove my fist so far down your throat-"

[John:] "Let's get to the ring."

[John:] "I think this match was decided by that early Core Meltdown. It seemed to me that Corey got demoralized when DPT kicked out of it and that changed the momentum of the match. DPT then went to work utilizing his superior speed on the surprised Corey. But we did get a nice battle of scorpion deathlocks."

[James:] "There are no 'nice' battles, Randolph."

[John:] "It was entertaining to watch two men give their all, the fans seem to agree."

[James:] "The fans are tards."

[John:] "That was totally uncalled for."

[James:] "You gonna do something about it?"

[John:] "Yes, I just did. I said it was uncalled for. And then go back to talking about how hard these two fought. Corey has come so close to victory the last few times he has been in one on one matches but I think his opponents are learning to absorb some of his deadly moves. He is known for his incredibly knowledge of moves and I think he may want to start introducing some of his other match enders into play. Meanwhile, DPT was highly impressive with his resiliency and ability to put Corey away with his super kick finisher."

[James:] "Probably had his boot loaded."

[John:] "With confidence."

[James:] "I bet he gets all the ladies with it. Well you both make me sick."

Corey O'Brian (X) ["The Showstoppa" - 15:44] (O) Daddy Prime Time

*Commercials air for FUSION DOJO's return to the wrestling world!*

[John:] "And now it's time for a match that has been in the making, arguably since 2008. Although the Universal Battalion league concluded last summer with J.U.S.T.I.C.E winning the Championships..."

[James:] "Being led by Kyle Walker..."

[John:] "He was part of it. Now, even though the league concluded, Drake did not want to see the results of everyone's hard work come to a formal close like past leagues. So he transformed the Universal Battalion league award into a more traditional Tag Championship and awarded it to the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. group. However, due to the large number of people in that group, and some differing opinions, Drake decided to make this match to determine the new Champions."

[James:] "Differing opinions? Kyle wants to kick the shit out of Thunder Strike and Jang Bae for being associated with Alicia Gordon and trying to hurt Robin."

[John:] "And Jason Hyde, though not hostile to Jang, seems to no longer be allied with Thunder, while also establishing a friendship with Kyle."

[James:] "Well I dunno about a friendship. Jason hasn't disrespected Kyle, we'll leave it at that."

[John:] "Let's talk about Jang Bae for a second as I feel like he is the understated X-factor to this volatile situation. We haven't seen him in UBL since the Battalion Finale in June where he and Thunder defeated the impressive ARMADA team but were then brutally assaulted by the Dod Squod and LRI."

[James:] "The Dods aren't friends of Jinchuu but anytime Thunder Strike is taken out, we like it."

[John:] "Ever since that attack, Jang spent most of his time in the Kirin Dojo promotion in Japan. The same promotion we'll be allying with to bring Battle Formation to the fans this summer."

[James:] "How convenient. You stay up all night memorizing that cheap plug?"

[John:] "Jang has had a lot of success in Kirin Dojo defending his NPA World Jr. Heavyweight Championship which he won earlier last year. And if he wins tonight, he will be the first wrestler in history to simultaneously hold Championships in both UBL and Kirin Dojo. To go to Battle Formation with that honor would be incredible."

[James:] "Get used to disappointment, Jang."

[John:] "Jang is probably the most uneasy with this match as he has remained friends with Jason despite the fallout between Thunder Strike and Jason Hyde. However Jang has no respect for Kyle Walker and the feeling is likely mutual...

[James:] "Yep."

[John:] "Because Jang Bae is the sabonim of Alicia Gordon, one of Holly Walker's greatest enemies and one of those suspected in injuring her. Thunder is also a former ally of Alicia and someone Kyle Walker absolutely hates. Its possible that Kyle hates Thunder more then anyone on this roster besides Geese."

[James:] "Double yep."

[John:] "Thunder has actually wrestled Holly in a mixed tag match a few years back with Alicia and Thunder facing Holly and Geese. And no doubt Kyle will want to make Thunder pay for all the punishment he dealt out to Holly just as we have seen Kyle do to others who have put their hands on her. Plus with Thunder as one of the top wrestlers in UBL and one likely to defend it against an invading force. he is a natural enemy to Jinchuu."

[James:] "With Geese out, Thunder is numero uno Jinchuu enemy."

[John:] "Wow, not even keeping it secret?"

[James:] "It's more satisfying that he knows he's a marked man."

[John:] "I think the feeling is mutual. Thunder Strike isn't one to pass up taking out an enemy, especially someone as dangerous as Kyle. Thunder Strike is also a former Universal Champion and Battalion Champion. If Kyle thinks that Thunder will just lie down for a beating, he has another thing coming."

[James:] "He's got a Championship coming, ya goof.."

[John:] "And it looks like both teams are now coming down to ringside."

Universal Battalion Wrestler Entrances: HD Version (click here), Standard def (click here).

[John:] "Interesting to note, Jason and Kyle come out seperately. And Kyle has new entrance music which is kinda disturbingly appropriate for him. Also, that is a track by the Offspring, the band that his sister has used for her fitting entrance music over the years."

[James:] "Thanks for music appreciation 101, professor."

[John:] "Both teams are warming up and Thunder Strike approaches mid ring. He appears to be trying to get Jason's attention while Jason stretches in his corner. Jason is ignoring Thunder's attempts to communicate until Thunder starts barking at him like a drill sergeant"

[James:] "More like the dog that he is."

[John:] "Thunder is screaming at Jason to back out of this match and not ally with 'psychotic Kyle.'

[James:] "He's gonna get whupped for that."

[John:] "He's saying that Jason is a coward and a traitor for getting a Title shot by turning his back on the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. cause. To his credit, Jason isn't responding to this. Instead, his eyes appear more focused as a result. Meanwhile, Kyle is smirking to himself."

[James:] "Kyle knows that a more motivated Jason helps his own cause. Thunder will get what's coming to him and will regret running his mouth. He kiss Alicia with that mouth? No wonder it's filthy. I can smell the whore all the way over here. Unless that's you, Randolph."

[John:] "Jang is trying to get Thunder back to their corner as the referee gives the signal to ring the bell. Here we go, folks, the Universal Battalion Championship will now be crowned!"

[James:] "YES!"

[John:] "This match was really just kicking into high gear when Jason pulled back a little harder then usual on his "Nowhere to Hyde" finisher and appeared to break Thunder Strike's leg."

[James:] "That's what I call 'kicking it into high gear!"

[John:] "I've gotta give credit to Kyle too. His impressive tag team abilities allowed him to keep Thunder in the corner-"

[James:] "Yeah that was cool but come on - it was his HATRED that allowed him to drive his elbow into Thunder's face! Don't give me that 'technical tag team' bullshit. Kyle roughed the bitch up!"

[John:] "Jason saw Thunder's vulnerability following Kyle's attack and just put the match away."

[James:] "He put Thunder away. For good."

[John:] "The crowd is shocked at how dominant Jason and Kyle were here..."

[James:] "You want domination, boy? It's just getting started..."

[John:] "James has just left the booth and is rushing to the ring. Something tells me the crowd's shock isn't over for the night."

[John:] "I can't imagine James and Furis are there strictly for a celebration."

*Jason has a concerned look on his face and is warning Kyle to stop laughing at Thunder's injury. Kyle seems dismissive as to his concerns. Jang gets down onto the mat to try to talk to and help out Thunder while the referee awards Kyle and Jason with the Battalion Championships. Kyle is really laughing up a storm now as he holds his title. Jason is getting increasingly agitated as he raises the belt in Kyle's face to get him to back off. Kyle does just that but Jason still goes to swing the belt....

*And drives it into the back of Jang's head

*Jason rolls Jang out of the ring while Kyle walks outside, looks under the ring, and pulls out a piece of barbed wire. Kyle gets back into the ring and forcefully places the barbed wire around Thunder's leg. Thunder is still clutching his leg after the impact of the "Nowhere to Hyde" and is in agony at the placing of the barbed wire around it. Jason then applies the "Nowhere to Hyde" AGAIN, with the barbed wire around Thunder's leg. While the hold is on, Kyle gets on the top turnbuckle."

[John:] "These are the actions of truly depraved individuals. I am shocked that Jason is a part of this."

*Kyle jumps off the post with a Mad Splash onto the lower back of Thunder, and Jason finally lets go of the hold. An audible snap is heard after the impact and Thunder loses consciousness from the pain as his face loses all color. Kyle and Jason pick up the unconscious Thunder and then place him on James' shoulders. Jason and Kyle get on two separate ring posts and jump off with a stereo dropkick onto Thunder, knocking him off James' shoulders and on to his head.*

[John:] "I think he got worse treatment then Geese. But finally. FINALLY, security has come out here!"

*Genji Security, led by Agent 0 come into the ring. They are confronted by Furis and James but Agent 0 manages to slip through them. Before Kyle can attack Thunder further, Agent 0 rips Thunder from his grasp o a look of shock and then delivers a neck snap maneuver to him. Kyle shrugs his shoulders and laughs as Agent 0 and his men leave the ring."

[John:] "Did Genji Security just pick a side in this war? Or was that attack personal?"

*Kyle instructs James to grab something else from under the ring. James emerges with a can of spraypaint which he gives to Kyle and Jason.. Kyle spray paints the Jinchuu Kanji onto the his tag belt and then gives Jason the can. Jason spray paints Thunder's back with the same kanji before doing the same to his Title Belt and shaking the hands of Kyle, James, and Furis.*

[John:] "The ultimate insult. I can't watch this anymore, I'm going backstage."

*John gets up and leaves while Jinchuu spit on Thunder and then walk up to the entrance ramp. The show ends with the sight of Jinchuu raising the defaced Battalion Title Belts into the air. (For Higher resolution version.)

Circuit - January 2011

2011-01-26T23:20:00.002-05:00

Universal Circuit - January 2011

*The Universal Battle Chamber in the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena stirs to life as blue, gold, and white confetti drop from the ceiling. John Randolph walks to the announcing desk and puts a headset on.*

[John:] "Happy New Year and welcome to the first UBL show of 2011! Obviously we are still sorting through the immense fallout from Ragnarok. And we'll get to all of that in due time. But first let's take a peek at our planned matches tonight."

Match #1: Mark Spirals vs. Jean DuBreil
Match #2: Metapocalypse vs. Golden Pair
Match #3: Koji Keo'ke/Chuck the Ripper vs. Corey O'Brian/DPT
Match #4: The Centurion vs. Orochi Geese

[John:] "Drake requested that we get right into the action and not dwell on certain unpleasant things longer then need be. Later on we'll discuss Orochi Geese's recent troubles and main event match but for now let's go to the ring where Mark Spirals and Jean DuBreil are already waiting for us: Probably the first time Jean has been particularly helpful. After all that's happened the last few weeks, we just wanted to give our fans some immediate action to bring 2011 in the right way."

[John:] "This is Mark Spirals first official match as a member of the Main Reserves. At the October Open he defeated Crimson Tide to take his spot on the Reserves. Mark is an excellent example of the hungry up and comers on this roster and we know he and his Gen X teammates are going to do great things here. Speaking of his teammates, Jayden Blaze and Tyler Jett are in the audience tonight."

*The camera turns to them and Jayden, with popcorn in one hand and a big cup of cola in another, gets up out of his seat to jump and cheer while Tyler smiles at Jayden's energy. Jayden realizes he spilled some cola on himself and quickly sits down frustrated.*

[John:] "This is as good a time as any to mention that free dry cleaning is available for UBL wrestlers. And that may come in handy given Mark's blood-obsessed opponent, Jean DuBreil. He and the rest of the Futen Tara Seitan stable have celebrated since Ragnarok thanks to Athrin Kazama's victory over his former mentor Tiger Sword in a land mine deathmatch. But Jean better not rest on his leader's recent accomplishments and better expect a fight out of Mark. Let's see how these two bring in the new year!"

Match #1: Mark Spirals vs. Jean DuBreil

[John:] "A huge victory for Mark Spirals! And the fans absolutely loved the performance of both men here. It's hard to say whether this is an upset or not because of how motivated and impressive Mark has been lately but Jean is certainly no slouch and almost took this match on a few occasions. You have to respect Jean's skills but this was Mark's night."

Mark Spirals (O) ["Spirals Crush" - 15:50] (O) Jean DuBreil

[John:] "But for how long? It looks like Jean's "Bastille of Blood" tag team partner Marquis de Douleur is coming out and we may have a 2 on 1 but wait...Tyler Jett and Jayden Blayze jumped the rail and came to their Gen X leader's aid! Marquis and Jean are backing up but in a menacing fashion. Jayden is hurling insults at both of them while Tyler is trying to get him to calm down. But Jayden was clearly not happy to see his friend and mentor Mark Spirals almost get attacked and HURLS what remains of his soda at Jean and Marquis! That' right, Jayden actually took the soda with him while coming to Mark's aid: thirsty kid. Glad to see these two back up Mark and prevent any violence. But Jean and Marquis appear angrier then ever after the soda incident. Dry cleaning, fellas."

[John:] "Let's get back to business as we're gonna have a very competitive tag match right now. Since the Universal Battalion League trophy is being converted into a traditionally defended Tag Championship, Drake wants to see which teams will stand out to earn a number one contender match. While the actual deciding Title match between members of J.U.S.T.I.C.E. won't happen til the next Circuit show in March, Drake has scheduled a number of tag matches for the next few months to figure out who deserves the first shot at the soon to be crowned Champions."

[John:] "And these two upcoming teams have impressed in the past. We have Metapocalypse, one of the most fearless and physically dominating teams in UBL, against Golden Pair, a rare combination of calculation and well...Jasper Woodruff. A man who may want Championship gold more then anyone else in UBL plus an ingenious gambler who has seen Championship success in the Dragon Pro organization. As intimidating as Jasper is, Metapocalypse won't even care. They've faced off with F.T.S. without batting an eye. These guys are bulletproof mentally but they are gonna have to watch out for Charles' tricks and Jasper's raw power. Let's get to the ring and see which team can move closer to a Battalion Title shot."

[John:] "I think sometimes Charles Langford's power is underestimated due to his partnership with the more physically imposing Jasper. And even though Charles is clearly the brains of that team, he is a rather large individual himself with a lot of bulk that he knows how to use. MARDUK was flattened by that "Ace of Clubs" spear and Golden Pair really earned that victory. You have to hand it to Metapocalypse for their fighting spirit and near falls but I think that, tonight, Golden Pair just wanted it a bit more."

Maximum Metal/MARDUK (X) ["Ace of Clubs" - 23:17] (O) Charles Langford/Jasper

*Marine's 'Baron' hits the speakers as Arthur Wingate saunters out to the ring, microphone in hand.*

[Arthur:] "It is bothersome to me when I see people repeatedly making the same mistakes without learning from them. The competitors chosen to start this new year will lead UBL down the same tired path of failure. Drake can make all the excuses he wants that Orochi Geese is having "personal difficulties" but to allow those distractions to hold UBL back is unconscionable. It causes one to ask whether or not the owner is truly invested in this operation or is merely using it for his own personal gain."

[John:] "He's on shaky ground here..."

[Arthur:] "What's even more detestable is that after being forced to jump through circuitous hoops to make it onto the main roster, I am still not offered a slot on the main show. So I pose a solution: Furnish me with an opponent or send security out to attempt to remove me. Either way, I will not break a sweat and the audience will learn a thing or two about true wrestling."

*Sergeant Drake Yoshida comes out onto the ramp with a microphone and an uncharacteristic smirk*

[Drake:] "It is clear that you have no idea how low a priority you truly are here. For the first time in your life, you are being overlooked and it must sting you badly. But the fact is UBL has far more important things to deal with then your feelings."

*The audience "ooohs" and Arthur simply shakes his head in disgust.*

[Drake:] "However, we all thank you for letting us know about your light degree of perspiration. Unlike you, there are others on this roster who don't fare as well. And it just so happens that a certain wrestler backstage was given a little bit of preparation in case you came out and ran your mouth again out of turn. So if you want some 'big' competition tonight, here it comes. Let's see if you can defeat someone in 10 minutes that you can barely lift. Or want to lift. Fresh from holiday season's eatins...Ralph Ferguson."

[John:] "Oh no...Beef pollonaise."

*The sound of a dinner bell rings through the arena as a heavy breathing and burping Ralph "Pot Belly" Ferguson comes out to ringside. He goes to shake Drake's hand but Drake just gives him a thumbs up. Ralph nods and goes to the ring. Throughout this, Arthur Wingate's expression is that of a man watching the universe vomit its own afterbirth. Ralph tries to shake Arthur's hand but Arthur slides out of the ring and tries to quiet his gag reflex. Once he comes back in, the ring bell sounds.*

[John:] "I don't know whether to feel sorry for Arthur or Pot Belly there. But once again we saw the efficiency and abilities of Arthur Wingate. I'm guessing he didn't really want to suplex Pot Belly anymore then he had to and it certainly didn't hurt his case to show the world his striking ability. Pot Belly just got knocked the fudge out."

[John:] "And we're gonna take a small commercial break. Be back soon, folks."

*Commercials air for "FPCPP: Emperor's Lament."

*We're immediately taken backstage to what appears to be the Orochi Army locker room. Orochi Geese is sitting on a bench staring at the lockers. It appears a harsh cleaning agent was used on some of them and they are now discolored. The door opens and Kyle Walker, aided by crutches, walks in. Geese doesn't turn around.*

[Kyle:] "Not even gonna check to see who walked in?"

[Geese:] "Only two of us have keys."

[Kyle:] "And at Ragnarok, only three of us had them."

*Geese turns around and his blood shot eyes glare at Kyle*

[Geese:] "Is there something you'd like to say to me?"

[Kyle:] "Don't take anything for granted. I'm just trying to keep us safe, Geese. For us and her."

[Geese:] "I know your scent. There was no danger."

[Kyle:] "Can you even still detect danger or are you just numb at this point? Furis got the easy jump on you two weeks ago and you're lucky to still be walking."

[Geese:] "I can detect danger tonight. Centurion is out to get me and-"

[Kyle:] "And you've lost the will to fight. I see it in your eyes. But you can't afford to wallow tonight, Geese. We need to send a message to our enemies that we will NOT be taken advantage of. What happened to Robin has to make us stronger and more ruthless then ever. You need to go into this match and show the world the Emperor has not fallen!"

[Geese:] "I'd rather be a pauper now if it meant Holly was ok."

[Kyle:] "I get that, Geese. But we can't hang back and wait for Robin to get better without providing some protection for her in the form of intimidation to everyone else. Centurion made some remarks about her and you need to make him pay for them. If you don't, I will. We can't have anyone thinking they can even talk about her without suffering worse then she is. It's time for a no tolerance policy and Centurion is the first victim."

*Kyle limps over to his locker and pulls out a barbed wire bat with a stapler on it but Geese puts a hand on his arm.*

[Geese:] "I'll handle it - This is my fight with Centurion. And it's on me to make this right. I understand that now."

*Kyle places the bat back. Then he pulls out an envelope and hands it to Geese.*

[Kyle:] "Also, a letter came for you before."

[Geese:] "You opened it?"

[Kyle:] "Nah, Agent 0 intercepted and opened it to make sure it wasn't a bomb. It's clean. But it's written in Japanese and neither of us could read it."

*Geese opens the envelope and pulls out a piece of paper with kanji on it*

[Geese:] "I picked up some hiragana in Japan but very limited kanji. Get this to Drake and he'll translate it. Also, when was the last time you washed your hair? You have sawdust all over your head, you look like you're fifty."

*Kyle lets out a rare laugh.*

[Kyle:] "I've been combing every tunnel and hole in this arena making sure that Gauntlet didn't set up another explosive."

[Geese:] "Smart move. I hope you had Genji accompany you though. Like you said, now is no time to expose yourself to extra danger. On that note, I'll see you after the match."

[Kyle:] "No match, Geese. Slaughter. You show the world what happens-"

[Geese:] "I know, I get it."

[Kyle:] "Make sure everyone gets it."

[Geese:] "You check with Drake about the letter, I'm fine here."

*Kyle hobbles out of the locker room as Geese gets up and starts to stretch.*

[John:] "Geese is in a rare mental state right now but we'll see more of that in the main event. For now, let's get back to the ring for a very important match. One that isn't a stand alone affair either. The two wrestlers that win here will go onto face each other at the next Circuit Show to determine the new #1 Contender to the NEXUS Championship, currently held by Julian Caesaro who was victorious at Ragnarok. But despite Julian holding the Title, he may not be the one defending it. He will be looking for a proxy to defend the NEXUS Title for him until he is satisfied with the level of competition here. Considering he barely hung onto that title against Corey at Ragnarok, I'm kinda surprised Julian has adopted this attitude. We all know he's arrogant and has started to see himself as a god but he did not decisively defeat Corey and I would say the level of competition for the NEXUS Title is the best it ever has been. In either case, whether Julian defends it himself or not, the Title WILL be defended at Battle Formation in Spring and this match will go a long way towards deciding who the challenger will be."

[John:] "And we've got an interesting encounter here regardless of the reward. Daddy Prime Time is making his return to the UBL after a brief hiatus. However, due to the incredible 3 match series he had with Damb, and his resulting victory, he has been put into this match as a top contender. He teams with Corey O'Brian, the man who came within a hair of defeating Julian Caesaro. I don't know if I've ever seen a man get SO close to victory and still come up short. Two Core Meltdowns and Julian barely kicked out. Furthermore, Corey won a match with Gene Starr, Koji Keo'ke, and Chuck Madrox to even get that match with Julian. So we're looking at someone who may be the favorite here teamed with a very hungry Daddy Prime Time."

[John:] "And their opponents are two men who have spent the last few months battling each other: Chuck Madrox and Koji Keo'ke. They split one win a piece in two impressive matches. And then they fought further in the Battle Royale. I'm not sure if their rivalry is resolved but I do know they both very much want to get a NEXUS Title shot. Enough to put their tension behind them? That is unclear. Corey and Daddy Prime Time don't have any problems and Corey even reached out to DPT to train with him. But Koji and Chuck are clearly not the best of friends. Added to that is some tension brewing between Corey and Chuck after the Battle Royale. So we have a powder keg here, especially considering the reward for winning. Let's see which team can work together and grab the victory."

[John:] "I don't quite know what we saw there but somehow Corey and DPT were on the same page at the end. Heck, they were on the same sentence! That was teamwork worthy of Battalion contendership! I know how much Corey and DPT both want a NEXUS shot but I'm just floored at how well they worked together to get themselves to the next step. As for Koji and Chuck, it was also really impressive that two rivals were able to work together at all. And they came very close to winning this but how can you defend against what we just saw at the end? Wow. Corey and DPT will now go onto face each other at the next Circuit Show."

Chuck Madrox/Koji Keo'ke (X) [Fish Stretch Sleeper - 29:38] (O) Corey O'Brian/Daddy Prime Time

[John:] "And now we come to a very strange main event. The Centurion, a man who's been on the UBL roster longer then any other man, even Orochi Geese, returns to the ring. First he was injured by Orochi Geese during the final Champions League show in 2007 and then by Kyle Walker on the Moon about a year later. Yeah, new UBL fans, you read that part correctly. The Moon."

[John:] "It is also interesting to note is that Centurion actually defeated Geese during that match in the singles league but he didn't do it alone. Along with about half the league participants who ran out to ringside to either help or hurt Geese, a man in a black mask came from the crowd and used Centurion's helmet to crack Geese in the head. That gave the Centurion the chance to win and also was partially responsible for Geese's scarred face. The "dorito breath" of Biff Mahjong in FPCPP was the other piece of his scarred puzzle. We never found out who the masked man was but we do know that Geese's loss in that match precluded him from earning a shot at winning the Universal Championship which Jack Dod later went on to capture."

[John:] "However, I doubt Geese is angry about that loss now. And after the events of the last month, it's hard to know where Geese's mind truly is beyond his concern for his long time girlfriend. At Night 1 of Ragnarok he watched Celes mentally break Robin Walker down and build her back up with a new vision. Robin lost an "I quit" match and vowed to change her ways. Then at Night 2, Figaro and Clyde defeated Geese rather handily. Seconds later, we saw perhaps the most grisly scenes we've ever witnessed in an OG-FPD promotion when Robin was seen knocked out and bleeding profusely on the ground of the Orochi Army locker room. She went into a coma shortly after. Two weeks later, Geese was brutally attacked on the FPCPP show, "Emperor's Lament," that he organized. Jakob of Furis was the culprit and came close to breaking his neck. We don't know what kind of physical shape Geese is in but he can't be too healthy given the last month. As for his mind, we all saw him backstage. This is a Geese who's emotional and mental state is a total mystery to us and maybe even to himself. Is he more dangerous then ever or too broken to even put up a fight here?"

[John:] "We do know Centurion's mental state and it is that of revenge. Geese didn't just injure him, he almost cripped him with the 'Chaos infinity Hammer' Centurion wants to end the reign of terror from the 'triumvirate' of Geese, Kyle, and Drake. And if there was ever a night that Centurion would go in the favorite against Geese, this may be it. Conversely, he may be ritualistically disemboweled by a psychotic Geese. It's kinda hard to tell. Either way, this match isn't for the kiddies, folks. Put them to bed early."

[John:] "Centurion is out first and looks very pumped up. He's clapping and stamping his feet and yelling in Latin. There's a language you don't hear yelled too much these days. In wrestling arenas no less. And wow, Geese comes out without music and without his usual gear. He's just walking to the ring with what appears to be street clothes and looks conflicted. Almost like he doesn't want to be there and yet feels he should be. This is strange to see, it's almost haunting. He has absolutely no confidence, no swagger, no fury, no intimidation in his body language. This isn't Orochi Geese, this is...this may just be a broken man. Can he mount an offence here or is Centurion going to use his ample power to put this away painfully? Let's find out."

Match #5: Centurion vs. Orochi Geese

[John:] "Ok. The absolute most shocking thing ever in UBL has just happened and the crowd, myself, I imagine just about everyone in the locker room has to feel numb. Kyle Walker and the Centurion have just obliterated Orochi Geese. I repeat, Kyle Walker has just engineered a vicious, career ending level attack on his own mentor and the boyfriend to his comatose sister. I don't know how truly hurt Geese is but it looks bad. Real bad. Kinda makes the fact that Centurion won barely register on the shock meter."

Centurion (O) ["Roman Rack Duo" - 13:10] (X) Orochi Geese

[John:] "I'm also getting word backstage mention that apparently some activity was happening there during all of this. Goro Yamashita tried to run out to help Geese but was cut off by Genji Security. I believe Kyle and Centurion were giving Goro the '1 finger salute' during the end of that 'match'."

[John:] "Of course, we now know that Kyle's leg injury at Ragnarok was completely faked. He was moving just fine here despite being on crutches backstage. And why was Kyle's hair still grey? What is going on here!? Unfortunately we have no time to answer this as more security is coming to end this entire night and I think oh, ok, I'm going i'm going! . We'll have word for you soon, folks! I don't know what this means for UBL and even OG-Joshi but it can't be good!!

OG-FPD Ragnarok - Night 2

2010-12-30T13:20:00.006-05:00

Night 2 - December 14th, 2010

Special Note: There's a lot of commentary for both nights so it's not so easy to quickly navigate. I'll be providing "codes" so you can get to any section of the show you want quickly and with minimal hassle. I would not advise checking out the main event of each Night without having some story context and I do truly believe the enjoyment of every match is greatly enhanced through commentary narration of why each has been made.

At the very least, the codes will give some easy jumping/browsing capacity for those who may want to watch the show in a different order then it is presented in or to return quickly to where you left off (cause it would be insane to watch this all in one sitting. And believe me, having written all of this, I know insanity pretty well!) Enjoy!

*The Ragnarok Night 2 hype video starts off the show. After it's over we are joined once again by John Randolph in the UBL Battle Chamber and Coach Jean Carter in the OG-Joshi auditorium. However, unlike Night 1, Jean Carter is herself joined by Luke Kisiera.

[John:] "Welcome everyone to Ragnarok Night 2!"

[MJC:] "And I'd like to introduce my special friend and bodyguard, Luke Kisiera!"

[Luke:] "Uh, hi everyone!"

[MJC:] "After what happened at Night 1, I kinda wanted to have some back-up."

[Luke:] "I would have come out even sooner then-"

[MJC:] "Shh, we already talked about it. You had been through a hard fight earlier on and 'she' attacked me before anyone could do anything to stop it."

[John:] "Well three looks like it may be a crowd here-"

[MJC:] "Oh sorry, John.

[Luke:] "I'm really just here to protect Jean. I don't need to say anything."

[John:] "Considering you're taking an awfully long time to respond..."

[MJC:] "Luke, silly, you can talk! But for now, let's just check out the matches!"

*The Orochi-Tron's in both arenas show the match listing

Quote:

Night 2:

1) Land Mine Death match: Tiger Sword vs. Athrin
2) Naomi vs. Ayame Yamato
3) OG-Joshi Tag Titles: Dod Squod vs. Reed Sisters (c)
4) Last Man Standing: Jason Hyde vs. Thunder Strike
5) OG-Joshi World Title: Kat Black vs. Visper Karr (c)
6) Kyle Walker/Orochi Geese vs. Clyde/Figaro

[Luke:] "Did uh...anyone see that part about the 'codes' from before?"

[MJC:] "C-codes?"

[John:] "...combat codes?"

[Luke:] "Cause that part already listed the matches so it's like we did it twice."

[John:] "A full night of matches tonight, that is for sure, Mr. Kisiera."

[MJC:] "So uh, anyone notice something 'new' about the card?"

[John:] "Over the last week, Athrin came to Drake Yoshida and asked if he could make their match into a Land mine death match. Drake didn't know quite what to say but then Geese actually green lighted the match provided Tiger Sword was ok with it. And lo and behold, Sword obliged. So folks, the potential violence of that match just went up like 100 decibels. And unfortunately Jean, you have a near front row seat."

[MJC:] "So let's get beyond this as soon as possible. I was really hoping to begin the show with Naomi vs Ayame but due to the difficulty and amount of time required for the ring crew to set up the barbed wire land mine Tennessee snorkling mesquite BBQ potato chip match-"

[Luke:] "Or to say that-"

[MJC:] "Drake wanted to have that match start first. That way it would all be set up before the show started and minimum time would be wasted."

[Luke:] "But...isn't this match going be in the UBL ring and not the OG-Joshi one anyway? They could have the match set up by the time Naomi and Ayame finished up."

[MJC:] "Hey you're right! I've been bamboozled!"

[John:] "Say, Jean...not that I'm unhappy about this but I'm kind of surprised how remarkably chipper you are after the events of last night."

[MJC:] "Well no sense in dwelling on unhappy possibilities that didn't happen. Plus, I got a great support system to help me move forward."

[John:] "So you're ok with everything?"

[MJC:] "No, not at all. But like I said last night, I'm trying my best not to use my commentary role as a soapbox to give my personal thoughts. Obviously in some cases that's harder then others but I have to keep trying. I'll have a chance to talk to the roster and the fans after Ragnarok and then I'll be candid. But this show isn't about me, even if certain people tried to make it that way. I will just thank Mr. Clyde for his actions."

[Luke:] "As will I."

[MJC:] "And we'll move onto the next match, whether I like the stipulations here or not."

[John:] "So we're starting with the death match."

[MJC:] "I guess the upside is that Ayame and Naomi can wipe everyone's memories clean with QUALITY after the unnecessary ultraviolence here."

(Code: RN2-1C )

[John:] "It may be unnecessary to some, but to Athrin and Sword, it's the next logical step of their rivalry. From Athrin and Fuzen Tara Seitan injuring Sword last November, to Sword coming back and defeating Athrin in two straight matches, these two have been at each other's throats."

[MJC:] "Aside from everything going on with Geese, I think the Athrin and Sword rivalry has been the most violent feud in UBL or at least tied with Marauder and Naja Mask."

[John:] "Which is saying something cause UBL hasn't been so user-friendly recently."

[Luke:] "You're telling me! Matt had to go to the hospital after Night 1 to get stitches!"

[MJC:] "The scary thing is that weapons ARE legal in this upcoming match. In fact, the entire ring is a weapon!"

[John:] "Barbed wire everywhere and not to one-up you Jean, but the scary thing to me is that there's no real escape. If you go outside the ring, you'll step...or fall...onto the exploding landmines."

[Luke:] "They're explodey."

[John:] "Hmm?"

[Luke:] "Yeah, not the best choice of dialogue there either, sorry."

[MJC:] "Athrin and Sword are about to do horrific things to each other but first, we have the debut of the new Fuzen Tara Seitan entrance video which apparently Geese funded."

[John:] "Geese and Athrin have a sense of mutual respect. They co-produced the Battle Formation show in 2009 and have tag teamed together in FPCPP. I'm not quite sure how deep that alliance goes but Geese put a promotional video together for FTS and wants it shown tonight so..."

[MJC:] "No arguing with thim there."

[John:] "Exactly."

Fuzen Tara Seitan video

[MJC:] "And that doubles as a ring entrance for Athrin who has come down here. During the video, we actually had Tiger Sword come to the ring. He was leaning against the turnbuckle watching the video and smirking."

[John:] "He seemed amused by the video and actually mocked the swirling part by spinning in a circle."

[MJC:] "He was not impressed. Luke...are you ok?"

[Luke:] "The spinny part of the video made me feel...spinny."

[MJC:] "Yeah it will do that. Have some ginger ale, Luke."

[John:] "Now, Athrin and Sword are both in the ring in a staredown. Sword is mock clapping at Athrin's video and yelling "Encore" but Athrin doesn't seem fazed by Sword's attitude and is just pointing to the barbed wire and then the landmines as if to say: "You're future resting place."

[MJC:] "Not just 'as if to say', Athrin actually just said that out loud after you said it!"

[John:] "I'd feel much more comfortable if I hadn't just read Athrin's mind."

[MJC:] "As would we all, John. As would we all. I'd also feel more comfortable if we didn't have to watch this match now. But Geese wanted violence and...here we go."

[John:] "That was to the point."

[MJC:] "I'd rather that match didn't have such a clear statement."

[John:] "Sword made an impressive comeback here but Athrin is too at home in this environment."

[MJC:] "I don't see how ANYONE could be comfortable in a match where your body is on fire and ripped apart with barbed wire, John."

[John:] "I don't get it either but Athrin seemed to enjoy getting punished as much as he did dishing it out. Maybe that's what allowed him to fight past Sword's huge rally to finish him with the Demon Driver."

[MJC:] "But Sword made a nice comeback and almost had the match won on a few occasions, especially the Tiger Suplex right before the Demon Driver."

[John:] "You do have to give Athrin credit for his resiliency there."

[MJC:] "I have to give him credit for ending it before it got even MORE violent."

[John:] "Can't argue with that."

[Luke:] "I'm glad none of my candy dropped out of my pocket and rolled onto the mines."

[MJC:] "Candy are mainly for eating, not exploding."

[Luke:] "We feel the same way about candy."

Tiger Sword (X) ["Demon Driver" - 14:59] (O) Athrin Kazama

(Code: RN2-2C )

[MJC:] "And now it's time to get to one of my most awaited matches for this show and specific night. Naomi faces her part-time teacher Ayame Yamoto, formerly known as Tigress Mask."

[John:] "Now if I'm correct, this match is actually somewhat of an inter-brand match?"

[MJC:] "That's right, John. Since Naomi is on Voltage and Ayame is on Amplitude, this is one of the first true Voltage vs. Amplitude matches. However, given that the two are close friends and Naomi was only recently placed on Voltage, there aren't too many wrestlers backstage who are fanning the flames between the rosters."

[Luke:] "Stop, drop and roll."

[John:] "...maybe just stop."

[MJC:] "Now now, John. Since kids are allowed to watch this next match, unlike the last one, they should hear what to do in a fire. Good lesson, Luke!"

[Luke:] "Thanks!"

[MJC:] "
But they should also hear why this match is going to happen. Naomi used to be part of the KENTA! Army along with Keina, 'Shino', and 'Hiromi', the latter two now known as Hae-Won and Sako Dasumi, the Heckions."

[John:] "Don't you mean Hellions?"

[MJC:] "I don't like that word."

[John:] "In any case, I think we ALL remember KENTA! Army, if for no other reason then their voices and uh, enthusiasm."

[MJC:] "Unfortunately some of that enthusiasm turned negative as Shino took over the group and started harassing Naomi and Keina. Tigress Mask saw it happening and helped Naomi out by giving her confidence and some knowledge of submissions. Shino reacted negatively to that, challenged Tigress, and lost. However, she also stole the mask of Tigress, revealing her identity: Ayame Yamato. Naomi was so upset with Shino's actions that she challenged her to a match and beat her. Keina helped get the mask back for Ayame and SHINO Army disbanded."

[John:] "Well Jean, that sounds pleasant but why are these two facing each other now?"

[MJC:] "There's obviously no bad blood between Naomi and Ayame. Instead, Ayame wants to test how far along Naomi has come in the ring. This is simply a competition between two wrestlers who respect each other and want to put on an exciting encounter for the fans. I know, right? SHOCKING that such a match could ever take place!! But that's what we do in OG-Joshi. We shock the world with non-apocalyptic based competition."

[John:] "That should be on a T-shirt. So...gasp...these two won't carve each other up?"

[MJC:] "Nope!"

[John:] "Well then, let's get to the match!"

[MJC:] "Naomi has come out and she looks somewhat passive."

[Luke:] "A little 'deer in headlighty', an expression I know all too well."

[MJC:] "Rudolph Kisiera."

[Luke:] "Drake finally let me play in the reindeer games."

[John:] "Ok, ok, we get it."

[MJC:] "Luckily the crowd is giving Naomi a lot of support. I see many of them holding Naomi signs and cheering loudly for her which I'm glad to see. She's becoming a real success story with her added confidence and victories in the ring while still being just as humble and nice to everyone backstage. That's inspiration material as far as I'm concerned."

[John:] "And Ayame is out next to an equally large reaction. Ayame has been around in OG-Joshi for a while, isn't that correct?"

[MJC:] "Not only that, but she's had a LOT of success. She won the Kaori NiGHT Invitational Tournament in 2006 mere months after joining OG-Joshi. That was actually the first OG-Joshi tournament we ever had. And her best 2 out of 3 falls match with Dizzy at OG-Joshi Unleashed was very highly regarded. Tigress came extremely close to winning that but Dizzy willed it out at the end. You really can't underestimate Ayame's abiities. In fact, the reason Dizzy faced her was because Dizzy wanted to improve herself against submission wrestlers. She specifically chose Ayame for that match."

[John:] "So we're looking at a wrestler highly respected by the roster and fans and from what I remember, she defeated Shino pretty handily when they fought."

[MJC:] "As angry as Shino was at Tigress for trying to meddle in their affairs, Shino had no answer to Tigress' superior submission and aerial abilities."

[John:] "But will Naomi?"

[MJC:] "That's a tough one, John. I don't really know where Naomi stands right now in terms of her skills. She defeated Kim Cross during voltage this Fall and that was possibly the upset of the year. Kim Cross defeated Jo Ryder, after all, in addition to Lana and many others. For Naomi to have beaten her was really the win of her young career."

[John:] "So even though styles tend to make fights, confidence does too. If Naomi could beat Kim and use that confidence to take on Tigress, she has a shot."

[MJC:] "She has a shot. I don't see this as a huge underdog match, not after Naomi beat Kim. But I wouldn't exactly put them on the same level either just due to Ayame's experience and the fact she's clearly coming into this more confident and less shaky."

[John:] "This is also the biggest stage Naomi has ever been on. Whereas Ayame has wrestled on Anniversary shows before, like in the Invitational Tournament, and even high card PPV matches like against Dizzy. She's way more comfortable in the spotlight."

[MJC:] "Right, yet another reason Naomi has that wide-eyed look. And now that Ayame is coming down to the ring, you can see her confidence."

[John:] "Just a completely relaxed but focused demeanor. No anxiety. Even though the crowd is cheering for her, she has her sights set on this match. A great example of how to approach a big encounter and I hope all the rookies, in both feds, are paying attention to this."

[MJC:] "Luke, I think that means you too."

[Luke:] "Oh right!"

[MJC:] "Ayame's in the ring and goes over to shake Naomi's hand. Naomi looks a bit freaked out but Ayame whispers something to her and Naomi seems to calm down. They shake hands and the ref rings the bell. Let's get to it!"

(Code: RN2-2M )

Match 8: Naomi vs. Ayame Yamato

Naomi starts off with a dropkick that must have been at least 3 feet wide to the right.

[Luke:] "Maybe she adjusted for wind resistance."

[John:] "We're indoors."

[MJC:] "Exactly."

Ayame looks confused at the tactic/whiff and Naomi blushes. Ayame sighs and immediately rushes Naomi and forces a double leg takedown.

[John:] "This may seem overly aggressive but I bet Ayame thinks the only way to get Naomi past the early match jitters is to get her right into the thick of action."

Ayame pauses in the top mount and doesn't do anything to allow Naomi a chance, which pays off for Naomi as she reverses it into a backwards pin attempt. Ayame easily kicks out but Naomi looks a bit more calm now. Enough so that she picks Naomi up and irish whips her against the turnbuckles and this time actually connects with a dropkick!

[Luke:] "Wind to the South east now."

[MJC:] "I thought Matt was the weather expert of your team."

[Luke:] "Heh heh."

Ayame rolls backwards after the dropkick and uses the momentum to quickly get onto her feet. She then runs at Naomi, who had her guard down, and hits her own dropkick. Naomi flies into the turnbuckle. Ayame runs at her but rather then attacking, she jumps over her onto the post at the exact time Naomi rolled forward to avoid a suspected attack. Naomi doesn't realize Ayame is up top and gets hit with a flying hurracarana when she turns around!

[MJC:] "Ayame is incredibly clever and has a great sense of ringswomanship."

Naomi rolls out to the floor and takes a few deep breaths. The fans cheer her on and Ayame even claps for her to come back in. She does so and surprisingly charges Ayame! Ayame jumps straight up to avoid a possible double leg takedown but Naomi expects it and actually takes Ayame down from behind with a takedown in the air. She gets into backmount and transitions into a front face lock. Then she puts on a guillotine choke!

[MJC:] "Wow, looks like Naomi is getting a bit more comfortable in there."

Ayame is able to loosen Naomi's grip by grabbing her arm and then turns it into a kimura. Naomi immediately grabs the ropes with her legs and Ayame lets go. Naomi shakes her arm out and looks a bit scared.

[MJC:] "Ayame Yamato and Haley Cannon are feared for their submissions for good reason. Naomi only had her arm in that hold for a split second and turned pale as a result."

[John:] "Naomi is getting better in the ring but i think it's foolish to try to go hold for hold with Ayame. If Naomi wants to use submissions, fine, just do them after another move rather then try to force them on someone with better experience."

Naomi shakes her hand out and starts running around the ring in literal circles around Ayame."

[Luke:] "Then there's always the insanity strategy. Cause sometimes you just have to lose your mind!"

[MJC:] "Not now, dear."

[Luke:] "I know, it just felt good to say that out loud."

Ayame appears confused as to what's going on but Naomi has built up such a head of steam that when she jumps at Ayame with a flying cross body block, Ayame can't counter her. A near surprise fall gets the 2 count but Ayame kicks out. Then Naomi then uses her momentum to hook Ayame into a double arm suplex and executes it perfectly.

[MJC:] "Naomi used to use the Tiger Driver as her finisher so that double arm suplex was a good setup. I'm sure Ayame wasn't expecting such an explosive move."

Ayame gets up but runs right into a snap suplex. The crowd is going nuts here at Naomi's rally but she is staying on task and not getting distracted. As Ayame is getting up, Naomi runs the ropes for a rebound jumping splash! She gets another 2 count!

[John:] "I think we underestimated Naomi tonight."

Ayame brushes herself off and smiles, even claps. Naomi lowers her guard and that second of tentativeness allows Ayame to jump through the air with a knee!!

[MJC:] "That's a good lesson for Naomi. Don't let your opponent distract you!"

Naomi gets pushed back against the ropes and rebounds into a flying jujigatame by Ayame! Naomi again struggles as her arm is in danger. She is able to use her free arm to clutch her affected arm and neutralizes the hold to the point both women are in a tug of war. Then Naomi kips-up which sends the crowd into a huge ovation and also lifts Ayame up and drops her on her head!

[MJC:] "What a move!! Not only did she free herself, but that also acted like a small DDT!"

Naomi rubs her arm trying to get feeling back into it while Ayame rubs her head. The two square off in the ring again and Ayame goes for a double leg tackle. Naomi jumps up but Ayame catches her on her shoulder and goes into a waterwheel drop. Then Ayame flips backward and grabs Naomi by the legs for a float over pin! The manuever pops the fans but only gets a 2. As both women begin to get up, Ayame is quicker and shoots on Naomi again but only manages to get top guard. Naomi tries for a triangle choke but slips which gives Ayame enough time to grab top mount. Ayame starts hitting Naomi with mounted shoteis causing Naomi to roll over to protect her face. Then Ayame grabs a rear naked choke.

[MJC:] "Oh that's not good for Naomi. Ayame has won plenty of matches like this!"

Naomi looks like she's about to tap out but Ayame yells for her to hang on and find a way out. Hard since Ayame has her legs around her waist in addition to the choke. But Naomi starts rolling and gets enough momentum to get over to the ropes. The crowd cheers and Ayame lets go of the hold. Naomi is up first, half gasping for air and runs into Ayame who kicks her in the stomach and then attempts her float over shiranui!"

[MJC:] "That's the old finisher of Tigress Mask!"

But as Ayame is landing from jumping backwards, Naomi drops and hits a Pele kick!! Ayame is sent careening backwards into the ropes and then forward into a stomach kick by Naomi!"

[MJC:] "She's going for another double arm suplex!"

Naomi hits it but then hangs onto the suplex, floats over, and applies a butterfly lock! Ayame looks to be in some trouble here as she was not expecting this at all."

[MJC:] "Wow! That was pretty impressive!"

Naomi hangs on and Ayame struggles to reach the ropes but she can't get her body to move due to how she is being contorted by the hold. Finally after a minute of struggling, her foot taps the mat and the ref calls for the bell!

[MJC:] "Naomi did it!"

Naomi (O) [Butterfly Lock - 14:00] (X) Ayame Yamato

[Luke:] "What a match! Congratulations to Naomi!"

[John:] "You definitely have to hand it to both competitors for this match. To the audience too for their understanding and appreciation of what was going on. This wasn't just a match but a challenge from Ayame to rise to the occasion and Naomi met it head on."

[MJC:] "And I think we may have a little ceremony as a result."

[John:] "There's...more?"

[MJC:] "One of the reasons for the challenge, actually."

*Jean stands up and takes a black bag out from under the table. She gets into the ring and gives it to Ayame after shaking hands with both women. Then she goes back to commentary.*

[John:] "Is there a bowling ball in there?"

[MJC:] "Haha, no."

[color=beige]*Ayame opens the bag and takes something out. It's the Tigress Mask! She goes over and whispers to Naomi. Naomi shakes her head no quickly and looks frightened. Ayame smiles and taps her on the shoulder before looking seriously at her. Naomi tentatively reaches for the mask which Ayame begins to hand over. The crowd is going nuts here and finally Naomi holds the mask. Ayame lets go of it but raises Naomi's hand up in the air to further applause. Then Naomi looks at the mask with her same wide eyed look and back at Ayame who nods again. Naomi begins to put the mask on and the crowd is on their feet with a standing ovation. Ayame helps Naomi with the mask and finally, it's on. Jean grabs a house microphone.*

[MJC:] "The winner of this match and the one chosen to be Tigress Mask II, Naomi!"

[color=beige]*Naomi and Ayame hug in the ring and pose on all four turnbuckles waving to the fans. Finally they go backstage to massive standing applause.*

[John:] "Wow, Jean. That was really something!"

[MJC:] "Ayame told me about this when she was making her initial challenge. She said after all they had been through, Naomi had the spirit of the Tigress Mask. And if she could beat her, she would be next in line."

[John:] "That's really quite a moment in the careers of both women. Naomi is one of the few wrestlers to publicly put on a mask and assume that identity."

[MJC:] "Sometimes a mask isn't about concealing one's identity, but emphasizing it."

[John:] "Well said. And representing the lineage of that Tigress Mask is a big deal."

[MJC:] "Naomi now has a new set of challengs ahead of her, living up to and exceeding the history of that mask. And Ayame believes she can do it."

[John:] "This was the exact opposite outcome from the previous match between mentor and student."

[MJC:] "No barbed wire and fiery explosions, just pro wrestling and the passing of the torch."

[Luke:] "Just the right parts of pro wrestling."

[MJC:] "Exactly, Luke. Now we're gonna let the fans soak in the moment a bit longer. We'll be back after these commercials."

*We head to commercials giving us highlights of the Battle Formation show held in 2009. The commercial ends with the words:"'Man is destined for war. Our ring is destined to be their battlefield.' Universal Battle League. Kirin Dojo. Battle Formation 2011: Coming this Spring to a theater of war near you."*

[John:] "Wow, that's some big news. Battle Formation 2 coming in 2011."

[MJC:] "Hopefully UBL wrestlers are healthy enough to compete at that show!"

[John:] "That is a legit concern. Luckily we have a big roster though. And if I remember, the last Battle Formation was actually the first public showcase of the Front Lines. So perhaps Battle Formation 2 will also offer opportunities to our younger and newer wrestlers."

[Luke:] "If I get in formation, do I get to sing one of those fun military songs?

[John:] "Uh..."

[Luke:] "I don't know what I've been told..."

[John:] "You can take that up with Drake."

[Luke:] "The gum under this desk is actually mold."

[MJC:] "It used to be gum but Figaro kept adding more gum to it and then well..."

[Luke:] "Time makes fools of us all, as a wise man once said."

[MJC:] "Yep."

[John:] "I uh...ok what's next?"

(Code: RN2-3C )

[MJC:] "Well hate to do this to ya UBL, but we got another OG-Joshi match coming up. And another chance to show the world what pro wrestling is really about. Only problem is, not everyone in this match may share that philosophy or goal."

[John:] "Considering what happened during the Battalion Finale with the male Dods, maybe you shouldn't be hyping this match just yet as representative of OG-Joshi."

[MJC:] "I think this will turn out all right, but we have the standard Dod disclaimer..."

[Luke:] "Or Dodsclaimer."

[MJC:] "That applies here. Jane and Polly have the chance to become the OG-Joshi Tag Team Champions and a Dod near gold is the most dangerous Dod of them all."

[John:] "Let's just hope there isn't any stray space capsules here or LRI members to help out."

[MJC:] "Well as I told Jane and Polly, if there are any shenanigans tonight, I will tear up their contracts. And at the very least, if they win with a tactic i don't approve of, I may just have them put their title on the line immediately after."

[John:] "The match tonight!?"

[MJC:] "Any time, John. If the Dods think they can push OG-Joshi around like they did to UBL, they've got another thing coming. But right now, their fight is with the Reed Sisters, the OG-Joshi Tag CHAMPIONS, and not little ole me."

[Luke:] "Us. Jean. Not with us. Any fight against you is a fight against me."

[MJC:] "Awwwe..."

[John:] "Ahem, very touching."

[MJC:] "Yeah, heart of a hero, that Luke. Anyway, The Reed Sisters have incredible momentum right now. From their break out moment against Crimson Mask and Lori Cuozzo back in February, to Harmony's incredible victory over Jane Dod and Kaori NiGHT, to beating J*NiGHT for the titles at Illumination, to beating Chanel and Lorelai at the November Voltage. They have gone undefeated, became Champions, and more importantly, acted like them. They are taking all comers, trying to help out any tension in OG-Joshi, and are becoming friends of mine. But above all, they are showing the world what OG-Joshi is about. I want you to look at that team and think they represent us to the fullest, much like Visper Karr does."

[John:] "And the Dods?"

[MJC:] "Jane and Polly have behaved better in OG-Joshi then the male Dods in UBL. I'll give them that. They also didn't cheat to get this Title shot. Jane Dod won a tag Battle Royale at Amplitude and faced J*NiGHT after Kaori won a tag Battle Royale at Voltage. The Dods beat J*NiGHT cleanly and earned this match. They also tried to cause some other trouble but I put a stop to that. Point being, when the Dods behave and focus on winning, they tend to do so. But they can become frustrated against tough teams and take shortcuts."

[John:] "That's kind of the Dod tendency in general. Jack Dod won plenty of matches in PW-W, EFW, and UBL cleanly. Very often he's more of a danger outside of a match but when he puts his head down and just focuses on wrestling or even brawling, he can win with a minimal disruption of the rules. And we all know Caleb Dod can just win by staring down his opponent due to his enormous size."

[MJC:] "Same here with Polly. She's a female hoss. The Dods outweigh the Reeds and have more experience then them. Jane Dod is a former EFW Women's Champion and Polly is a former PW-W Women's Champion. They work together extremely well, each have a defined and dominant style, and they know how to distract the referee. But there's one thing they didn't do. They didn't beat J*NiGHT when they were champions. J*NiGHT beat them at Renaissance to retain their titles, and then lost the titles to the Reeds. So the Reeds had some edge there, whether it was a style difference or more desire. Why did the relatively inexperienced Reeds beat J*NiGHT and the Dods couldn't? Maybe we'll find out tonight."

[John:] "Well this is the first Championship the Reeds tastes. But you said it yourself, the Dods are already quite accomplished and skilled. It may come down to hunger."

[Luke:] "Ask Matt Rivers. Have you seen who he's been beating durinng Orochi-O's TV? Did you see how close he came to winning us the match last night had Snake Mountain not cheated? Sometimes it's all about the hunger new wrestlers have. I know it, he knows it. The Reeds know it. It may not make us punch better but we'll punch harder because of it."

[MJC:] "Very well said, Luke."

[John:] "But perhaps the Dods are even more hungry after having been stopped in their initial Tag Title match. Sometimes it takes some resistance to make someone want it more. To make them feel like it means even more then they first thought. If the Dods now understand that, the Reeds may be in for some major problems."

[MJC:] "The Dods had a winning year overall, but they didn't enjoy quite as much success as the Reeds. And Jane even lost to Harmony in that triple threat Title match with Kaori. Had Jane won that match, it would have been the Dods facing J*NiGHT at Illumination and not the Reeds. So perhaps there's some jealousy or resentment there, something that will fuel the Dods to fight harder. But perhaps something that will give the Reeds more confidence."

[John:] "I think we're gonna find out now as the Dods are coming out and DO look incredibly focused."

[MJC:] "Jane isn't even jawing with the fans here, she's just marching to the ring. And Polly is doing the same, not stopping to do any cheerleader poses."

[John:] "And here come the Reeds and I gotta say, they're getting as much love from the crowd as anyone we've seen the last two nights. This is right up there with Naomi and Ayame's support from before, and the ovation both women in the Amplitude Title match got after it was over."

[MJC:] "They are interacting with the fans but this is normal for them. The fan energy gives them extra motivation rather then distracts them. They know that as representatives of OG- Joshi, the fans look up to them as role models. They accept that role, they relish it, and they give that attention and love right back to the crowd."

[John:] "And they do look quite ready. They don't appear to be intimidated by the Dods but they certainly don't look overconfident. Rather they are carefully getting into the ring so as not to be attacked before they are ready."

[MJC:] "Smart move."

[John:] "Both teams are in and here we go."

[MJC:] "OG-Joshi Tag Team Championship - who walks out of 2010 with them!?"

[MJC:] "Wow! I can't believe that!"

[John:] "That the Reeds won?"

[MJC:] "No! That Harmony ended it that way!"

[John:] "It was pretty sudden..."

[MJC:] "No, not just that. It was like the same way that Harmony beat Kaori in that triple threat with Jane! She interrupted a move, in this case, Jane taunting Melody, with that somersault kick and then used the moonsault!"

[John:] "Very fitting that Harmony defended their titles with the same combination that gave them their first chance to challenge for them."

[MJC:] "Indeed! You also gotta love the HUGE bulldog that Melody used on Jane to allow her to tag in Harmony at the end!"

[John:] "That was the definition of a 'hot tag' considering Harmony's energy level and win right after."

[MJC:] "I thought the Dods had them in major trouble, John. I really did. But the Reeds showed such heart here, such ability to come back from adversity. They really are our true Tag Team Champions. You look at them, you look at Naomi, you look at Molly Cule, and the future of OG-Joshi is bright. So many young wrestlers have stepped up in a big way this year."

Polly/Jane Dod (X) [Moonsault - 27:27] (O) Harmony/Melody Reed

[John:] "Meanwhile, the Dods are kinda of speechless. They don't seem to know what to do next."

[MJC:] "Let me help them out."

*Jean takes the house mic again*

[MJC:] "Ladies? Yes, I'm speaking to you two, Jane and Polly. Very nice effort but let's not ruin a great match by doing anything that your contracts will regret. You'll get another shot if you keep wrestling at this level but any post match attacks tonight will lead to firing."

[John:] "I think they got the message as they're going backstage."

[MJC:] "Luke, come with for a sec?"

*Jean and Luke go into the ring where Jean hands the Reed Sisters their titles and raises their hands to huge applause from the fans. Luke is just making sure the Dods don't try anything as Jean celebrates with Melody and Harmony. The Tag Champs go backstage and Jean and Luke return to the table.*

[John:] "Well that was certainly nice to see."

[MJC:] "It was great being there. Illumination seems to have taken hold in some ways in OG- Joshi."

[Luke:] "Thanks to you, Coach."

[MJC:] "That's sweet but it's not just me. It's women like the Reeds, Visper, Kat, as well as those like the Dods who seem to finally be cooperating."

[Luke:] "Thanks to your strategies."

[MJC:] "You sure know how to make compliments hard to turn down!"

(Code: RN2-4C )

[John:] "And now let's get to a match which the wrestlers could not turn down."

[MJC:] "Segue worked!"

[John:] "Thank you. So we prepare now for a Last Man Standing match between two former, and perhaps current, allies. It's kind of hard to tell but Jason Hyde and Thunder Strike have not been so chummy with each other recently."

[MJC:] "I respect Thunder Strike's abilities in the ring but I have to say that he's been rude to me in the past for no reason. All I did was try to interview the guy once during the Singles league and he refused to talk to me. I'm not a mean person!"

[Luke:] "You can say that again."

[MJC:] "I'm not a mean person!"

[John:] "Kudos on going with that. Now Thunder and Jason have had some tension related to how J.U.S.T.I.C.E. should be done, so to speak."

[MJC:] "Kudos on that!"

[John:] "They joined together initially because of the way Orochi Geese had attacked them both around the time of the UBL reformation in early 2007. Even though they had mutual friends, they really never connected so much as two people who had something positive in common, just negative. They each wanted to stop Geese from hurting more people and doing things that they believed were destructive to the sport."

[MJC:] "The problem came when a certain ingredient was added: Kyle Walker."

[John:] "Kyle and Jason became friends in Japan during the OJ-FWA tournament of the last few years. They wrestled each other, a match which Jason won, and saw they had a lot in common: Similar junior styles, strong support and protective instincts for their sisters, and the fact they were both often underestimated due to their size and experience."

[MJC:] "But the complication here is that Kyle Walker is Holly's brother and Geese has been somewhat of a mentor for him."

[John:] "And since Thunder Strike hates Geese, and also hates Kyle, he was none too pleased when Kyle was added to their J.U.S.T.I.C.E. team during the Battalion Finale after Thunder and Jang were injured by the Dods."

[MJC:] "Thunder was furious, actually. And made plenty of accusations questioning the motives of Geese and Kyle. Understandable. But not so understandable was his rage with Jason. It's true Jason had a difficult choice to make when he accepted Kyle into their team, but given their friendship and Jason's desire to beat the Dods, and stop them from winning the Battalion Titles, I can't really fault Jason's choice."

[John:] "Neither can I. It's at least understandable and debatable but certainly not 100% certain that he was wrong."

[MJC:] "And Thunder should have used his indoor voice when discussing it."

[John:] "It resulted in Thunder pretty much 'pulling rank' with Jason, saying that Thunder is the leader of J.U.S.T.I.C.E. and he expects Jason to do things HIS way. Jason wasn't so happy to hear that as he believes allies could differ with their approaches. He also believed that Thunder had gotten so blinded over his hatred for Geese that he wasn't seeing things properly. That Geese actually didn't try to taint or corrupt Jason by allowing Kyle to join his team. Heck, Jason could have chosen anyone, Geese set no limits. Geese wanted to see the Dods lose more then he wanted to see Thunder angry, in my view. And I'd even go as far to say that Geese wanted the Dods to lose more then he wanted Kyle to get gold: At least during those specific circumstances with how the Dods destabilized the league."

[MJC:] "I think that's right. We were both there. Granted we weren't backstage but the scene was pretty clear to me. Geese was furious that the Dods messed with the main event and the legitimacy of the Title belts themselves by attacking their upcoming opponents. Geese was actually angry that the Dods beat up Thunder Strike. I know that seems shocking and maybe it was even to Geese at times. But the thing about Geese, one of the things that I've always respected about him personally, is that when he isn't directly involved in a Title match, he prefers to play by the rules. It's easier for him to control a stable situation and he knows that a Title defended properly and legitamately brings more money to the UBL. It wasn't in his interest, despite his hatred of Thunder, for the Dods to do what they did. So he let Jason choose anyone to replace Thunder and Jang and even though Geese made Kyle available, he didn't pressure him into picking him. I'm sure he'd have been fine with anyone else that helped Jason win, just as he was fine with Johnny Bingo being chosen."

[John:] "But Thunder couldn't see that. And he's been taking it out on Jason ever since. First he demanded they wrestle and even after Thunder narrowly defeated Jason at the August Circuit show, he still wasn't satisfied. And that's cause the loss didn't change Jason's mind or have it fall in line with what Thunder believed to be the point of J.U.S.T.I.C.E. Jason didn't even want this match tonight. Drake is the one who made it."

[MJC:] "Jason keeps telling Thunder that beating him in a match doesn't make his philosophy right. Might doesn't make right. The irony being that Thunder believing that is similar to Geese in other respects. Winning a match doesn't mean your worldview is correct, or even that your understanding of the facts is. Jason isn't joining forces with Geese, and his friendship with Kyle doesn't seem to be a problem in my view. Heck, Jason is a good guy, I think Kyle would actually benefit from spending time with him."

[John:] "Any, uh, subtext there?"

[MJC:] "Oh none whatsoever! I just mean that Jason and Kyle's alliance isn't a problem! It seems like it was formed for the right reasons."

[John:] "That's the way Drake sees it too. And it's why Drake has made a match for the second UBL Reserves show of 2011 between Jason and Kyle against Thunder and Jang Bae. The winner will-"

[MJC:] "Totally legitimize the 2 year Battalion by holding an actual Championship! John, you have no idea how happy I was to hear that Drake was doing this! 2 long years of hosting that Battalion and I would have been sad if it just faded away into the past. J.U.S.T.i.C.E. or some combination of them should defend that Title and keep the Championship journey going. Give UBL a chance to have as good Tag Title matches as OG-Joshi just did. Or at least strive for them! Let them rise to our example!"

[Luke:] "High-five!"

*Jean and Luke high-five and their hands linger together for a few seconds.*

[John:] "Maybe we better just get to the match here. Jason has come down to the ring to applause. Thunder is out next ignoring the fans who have, in turn, ignored him. Jason goes to offer his hand but Thunder doesn't even acknowledge it and tells the ref to ring the bell."

[MJC:] "Harsh."

[John:] "Pins and submissions can't win this match. Victory can only be earned by knocking your opponent out or by having them stay down for the 10 count. It's Thunder's arsenal of brutal strikes with suplexes against Jason's junior heavyweight style mixed with submissions and aerial moves."

[MJC:] "I wish they'd give us more time to discuss the actual in ring encounter but once again, Thunder isn't making things easy for me. Well, here we go!"

[MJC:] "Wow! What endurance!"

[John:] "I really thought these rules would favor Thunder Strike. He has a harder hitting offense and has knocked out more wrestlers then Jason. But wow, Jason won this decisively."

[MJC:] "You mentioned Thunder's suplexes but Jason has a few high impact drops of his own! That Cascade of his just kept Thunder down! Thunder is a man who's kicked out of the "Raging Bolt" before, John. He's withstood some of the biggest moves in UBL like Marauder's "Proton Accelerator". But the "Cascade" kept him down for the long 10 count. What a huge victory for Jason Hyde!"

[John:] "Thunder had his chances and I didn't think Jason was going to get up a few of those times but he showed what that "Heart of Hyde" could do!"

[MJC:] "Heart of a Hyde-o!"

[Luke:] "Hey!"

[MJC:] "Just kidding Luke! But Jason did show incredible spirit here."

[John:] "And what's most interesting right now is how Jason doesn't look all that satisfied. I mean, he won an incredible match but I don't think he convinced Thunder and he knows it. Nor would he WANT the mere fact that he won to convince Thunder of his views."

[MJC:] "These two are at an impasse. And I don't think any match is gonna change their minds. But Drake wanted to see this. He wanted to see how this would pan out. Maybe because he wanted to stir the pot to make the Battalion Tag Title match even more tense and combative. Or maybe cause he just wanted these two to air their problems out before the match so they could just focus on the Titles?"

[John:] "Either theory is possible. But we'll have to see how they interact after this."

[MJC:] "One thing is for sure: Jason just got a HUGE victory on a HUGE stage over a top UBL wrestler. It's something he did during the Singles league when he beat both Geese and Jack Dod, among others, but it's good to see he hasn't lost his step in singles competition given the long tag league he was involved in. Jason won the Battalion League trophy and while he'll have a chance to win those tag titles, don't count him out of singles rankings."

[John:] "If he wasn't already scheduled to be in that tag title match, you'd have to figure him a top contender for the NEXUS Title. His style against Julian Caesaro's would be incredibly impressive. While I wish Jason luck in his tag match, part of me wants to see him face Julian. But hey, maybe he can do both!"

[MJC:] "Don't discount Jason Hyde. He's shown what he can do when the odds are against him. Beating Geese, Jack Dod, Thunder Strike, and so many more since he came to UBL. The future is as bright for him as anyone on this roster."

Jason Hyde (O) ["Cascade" - 20:57] (X) Thunder Strike

(Code: RN2-5C )

[John:] "And now it's time for the OG-Joshi main event of the night. Jean, excited?"

[MJC:] "Excited? Ecstatic! This is the long awaited match between Kat Black and Visper Karr for the OG-Joshi World Championship! A match we anticipated for close to a year for the biggest prize in OG-Joshi!"

[John:] "Eris Byrne may take exception to that."

[MJC:] "She might but the fact is her Championship is still just a few months old. And even if her own undefeated streak does boost the status of her Title, the OG-Joshi World Title has over five years of tremendous history. You look at the great lineage this title holds. Dizzy, Haley Cannon, arguably Jo Ryder."

[John:] "Arguably?"

[MJC:] "Well there are many fans who count Jo defeating Haley in the triple threat title match at Unleashed as a Title change. However, it was in the same match that Holly then defeated Jo shortly after. By OG-Joshi rules, a triple threat match just awards the final winner, not anyone who may win the falls in the middle."

[John:] "Right, that's a standard triple threat match just about anywhere."

[MJC:] "But Jo did defeat the then reigning OG-Joshi World Champion, Haley Cannon, in that match. It's just that the title didn't technically change hands til Holly beat Jo afterward and was the final survivor. So while the official lineage doens't include Jo, she did beat the World Champion by pinning her cleanly while Holly watched."

[John:] "Sounds to me like you just don't want Holly getting the credit of officially beating the previous Champion. Or that you know how much it would irritate Holly to hear you giving Jo Ryder any Championship claim here."

[MJC:] "Well I'm just calling it like it is. Holly didn't pin, submit, or knock out the reigning champion in that match, Jo did. Then Holly beat Jo. It's nothing out of the ordinary in a Triple Threat title match but it did happen that way. It's also true that Holly went on to defeat Haley 1 on 1 later that year but for those who want to unofficially recognize Jo Ryder as the champion for a few minutes, I could understand how they feel. Especially seeing the contributions she made to this promotion: her time and very credibility, her mentorship of Dizzy, her presence. Just ask the current Champion!"

[John:] "That is true. Jo Ryder did help train Visper Karr. I believe Twinky McLanahan was Visper's other trainer. Quite a lucky student to be trained by those two."

[MJC:] "Visper has a very impressive background and knowledge of pro wrestling. She also has defeated just about everyone in OG-Joshi who has either had the World title or been a top contender. She defeated Jo Ryder and Haley Cannon to get the title shot with Holly, then beat her cleanly. And in the recent Illumination triple threat Title match with Holly and Kat, Visper defended her Title by beating Kat after Kat beat Holly."

[John:] "And that's quite impressive on Kat's behalf. Pinning the former long time World Champion."

[MJC:] "Kat has also defeated her in a 1 on 1 match."

[John:] "The match where Celes was then fired after attacking Holly.."

[MJC:] "To defend Kat from getting hit by a chair swung by Holly."

[John:] "All true."

[MJC:] "And now Kat and Visper finally get to face each other free of any Holly interference. And I think we're primed for one of the best Title matches in OG-Joshi history! And certainly a match that will be a highlight of this show due to its focus on wrestling and competition over hatred."

[John:] "Who is your pick here?"

[MJC:] "I honestly can't choose. I've known Visper for a while. Heck, she helped get me my initial job here as an interviewer! If it wasn't for visper, I probably wouldn't he here right now."

[Luke:] "And if you weren't here, I may not have been either."

[MJC:] "Awwwe."

[John:] "Visper also gave you your 'Mean' moniker."

[MJC:] "I still don't get that."

[Luke:] "You're not mean, Jean."

[MJC:] "Thanks Luke!"

[John:] "Anyway, it seems like both women have a lot of momentum. Now, as you said, Visper did defeat Kat at the end of the Triple threat."

[MJC:] "But Kat just decisively defeated Narai Kaeo at Voltage. Visper recently had a tough match with Molly Cule but won that as well. So Kat got some experience against a strong kicker, like Visper, while Kat got some experiene against well...Molly and Kat don't have that much in common I guess."

[John:] "Male admirers?"

[MJC:] "It's not been proven that Mr. Figaro's allegations are true, if that's what you mean."

[Luke:] "Well we know Molly and Dean Annay have some admiring going on."

[MJC:] "Let's not gossip, Luke!"

[John:] "Narai's parallels with Visper are somewhat incomplete though, right?"

[MJC:] "Even though Visper has knocked out opponents with kicks, she isn't limited to themlike Narai is. Rather, Visper is the total package. She can do everything in the ring. She made Holly pass out with a crossface to win the Title. She pinned Haley Cannon with her Tiger suplex. She rolled up Jo Ryder out of nowhere. If she's anywhere near you, she's a threat."

[John:] "And Kat?"

[MJC:] "Kat is very dangerous in the air. While Visper has a respectable aerial arsenal, Kat has the advantage here. She's also a solid striker, though I'd give the edge to Visper and her running face kick finisher. However, when it comes to suplexes, they're about even. Kat's "Black Out" suplex finisher and brainbusters are extremely effective. I may even give the edge here to Kat, as I would for submissions."

[John:] "Who is quicker?"

[MJC:] "That's gotta be a draw. Kat is quicker getting to the air and flying through it, but Visper can shoot her kicks out with blinding speed as well as suddenly pin you."

[John:] "Who wants it more?"

[MJC:] "Also a draw. Kat craves her first World Title but Visper IS that World Title. She embodies everything it stands for and she had such a long road to get there that she isn't going to lose her motivation anytime soon. In fact, she's here TO compete. And now that Holly is out of the World Title scene, Visper finally gets to defend that title free of corruption. She craves facing women like Kat. While Kat wants to be in the same position to defend that title against those like Visper. They both WANT to be there to face others. It's not an urge to just keep the title and shy away from competition, it's an urge to represent the title by being the best and beating everyone else."

[John:] "We're essentially looking at two similar motivations."

[MJC:] "Their color patterns aren't the only thing they share. They're both here for the right reasons, they're both heavily respected in the locker room, and I'd be happy to have either one of them represent the best of OG-Josni. But they both realize that only one of them can win and even though they respect each other, they aren't going to hold back. We're in for an intense match here, but one that won't leave the fans sick to their stomach."

[Luke:] "Good thing too cause I'm still dizzy from that F.T.S video."

[MJC:] "Someone get Luke some more ginger ale!"

[John:] "Let's get to the match."

[MJC:] "OG-Joshi World Champion, fate chooses who!?"

[John:] "Jean, I have to hand it to you. You made some bold comments leading up to Ragnarok about OG-Joshi not just stealing the show but being the show. And seeing your wrestlers, especially your Champions and contenders, wresle like this, I think you were proven correct. UBL has some catching up to do."

[MJC:]: "...Thanks, John."

[Luke:] "You ok, Jean?"

[MJC:] "Yeah I'm just...I'm just really proud of Kat and Visper, and just about everyone in OG-Joshi the last two nights. What a match this was. You see that World Title and you wonder why so many want it? It's cause of that desire, what these two brought in the ring, that makes the Title worth what it is."

[John:] "Kat Black came so close."

[MJC:] "And she knows that. And that's worth something. It really is. The value of that title largely exists because of how much the top contenders want it and how hard fought these Title matches are. The same goes for the Amplitude and Tag Team Championships. And tonight, both these women added tremendous value to this Title. For Kat to go 30 minutes with the champ is just astounding. Not because I'm surprised at her talent but because its so amazing to watch. I can't help be anything but blown away by experiencing that."

[John:] "We do have a winner though and I'm curious as to what you think the difference here was?"

[MJC:] "I honestly don't know. And I'm not sure I ever will just because I'm not a wrestler. What it takes for one wrestler to win a close match like this and not the other. I don't think its desire because both came so far. Is it perhaps due to the experience that Visper has had in Title matches that Kat hasn't? Again, I don't think that fully explains it."

[John:] "Sometimes a match just flows a certain way."

[MJC:] "Right. No one knows exactly what will happen even two seconds after you do something in the ring, and those little decisions can just lead to one person winning cause they're put in the superior position to do so. Visper felt she could hit her Tiger Driver and she did. If she was a second late in trying, maybe Kat would have hit her brainbuster."

[John:] "So would you say this was a decisive victory?"

[MJC:] "It was a clean victory. But a match that goes 30 minutes where each wrestler has a chance of winning, up to the very end, isn't entirely decisive. There's no doubt Visper won that match and retained her title. But there's doubt that Kat couldn't have done just that had the timing or positioning been even slightly different."

[John:] "And as Coach, what does that situation say to you?"

[MJC:] "Easy. Rematch."

[John:] "In the past, Celes didn't grant rematches to challengers who lost cleanly."

[MJC:] "Well we both have blonde hair but I'm not Celes. And I think OG-Joshi could use more of what we just saw. I think the world of wrestling could use that. Kat will get her rematch, it's just a question of when. But visper, tonight you earned that victory. And if Visper does it again, the matter is settled and we get a new challenger. But this is an example for OG-Joshi. This is what I want to see. This is how I will reward you if I see it. You wrestle like this, win or lose, and you get opportunities. Thank you to Kat and Visper. I could not think of a better match to end 2010 for OG-Joshi then this one."

[John:] "very strong and passionate words from the OG-Joshi Coach."

[Luke:] "Jean, whatever it takes, I'm gonna try to bring the spirit of what we just saw to UBL. No matter how much I have to train or who I have to wrestle. No matter who I have to lose to in order to get better. Or who I have to protect to keep the right tone."

[MJC:] "That's the best thing I've heard all night."

Kat Black (X) [Tiger Driver - 29:03] (O) Visper Karr

(Code: RN2-6C )

[John:] "Well not to ruin the moment but we're about to go from pro wrestling heaven to hell. The main event and the real name sake of this PPV is next."

[MJC:] "It looks like some of the crowd is leaving."

[John:] "Those with younger children were encouraged to come a bit late to miss the land mines match and leave early before this one."

[MJC:] "I know, I sent out the memo!"

[John:] "Haha, that's very true. So, are you gonna stick around for this?"

[MJC:] "I feel the same way about this as the main event for Night 1, though hopefully I'm not involved this time."

[Luke:] "You won't be."

[MJC:] "I feel like I have to see what happens here. I've known Clyde and Figaro for a while, and Geese is my boss. He's the boss. Whateever happens with him here will affect the world of OG-Joshi and UBL. Even though I don't want to witness the violence, I can't turn a blind eye to a situation that could affect me and my roster."

[John:] "A very mature response. And at least you aren't actually up close as I am. This is all going down in the UBL ring."

[MJC:] "Right, that helps too. But situations like this can sometimes spread."

[John:] "That is true. Well, I guess we should start talking about this. But to be honest, I'm not sure what else there is to say that we didn't cover during the Holly and Celes match."

[MJC:] "Kyle Walker. Talk about Kyle Walker."

[John:] "I suppose that's true. He's the most recent addition to the Orochi Army situation. Like we said last night, Clyde and Figaro came to Geese's aid after Holly left him. They became his bodyguards, tag partners, and friends: the latter being the shortest duration. But they never really bonded with Kyle Walker because by the time he entered the situation, they were having a falling out with Geese."

[MJC:] "And also Holly. And that's why Kyle hates them. Cause they started criticizing her on OG-Joshi shows and to her face. And that's it for Kyle. You criticize her and he will hate you. And it went even further then that."

[John:] "After Geese tried to poison Figaro with mind control drugs during last year's Holiday Banquet, they hatched a plan. They were going to get back at him for taking them for granted and hurting a friend. And Figaro did so by acting as if he was under the influence of the drugs, only to reveal the truth when Geese needed a Battalion partner. This led Orochi Army to be short handed and lose their final match and any chance at winning their Block."

[MJC:] "And beforehand, at the prior Voltage, Clyde and Celes came to Kat Black's aid during an attempted Holly plan to win the #1 Contendership. Holly had Sandy Morton dress up as Kat and lose to Holly. But Celes stopped that, let Kat wrestle Holly, and then was the referee for that match. Kat won, Holly flipped out and tried to hit Kat with a chair, and Celes brutally punched Holly in the stomach."

[John:] "And when Geese and Kyle came to attack her, of course Clyde came to her aid. So Kyle hated Celes for the punch, Clyde for the assist, and Figaro for lying to them. Geese felt betrayed by their plan, just as they felt betrayed by Geese's actions towards them. But it has been Kyle who has verbally threatened and physically attempted the most violence."

[MJC:] "Geese has been too angry to speak much about it. But I really wonder what is going on mentally with him. Is Kyle right that Geese doesn't have the heart to take out his former friends? Or is he just so overcome with rage all he can do is act it out in the ring?"

[John:] "Also of note is that our match tonight is no-disqualification, no count out. And it's a tornado tag match. So you pretty much have a formula for complete chaos."

[MJC:] "Speaing of "formula", Geese pledged to have his red vial that turned him rabid at the Battalion Finale and caused him to seriously injure Jeff Monroe. An attack that was mainly intended to just get the attention of his opponents tonight. But that red vial is dangerous. Once Geese drinks it, he seems to be stronger, faster, and more vicious."

[John:] "It is a temporary effect though. At least last time it was. So Geese may be saving it for a time he needs it. As for Kyle, he threatened Clyde and Figaro with a barbed wire baseball bat with a red stapler at the ened. Which is like..."

[MJC:] "Yeah."

[John:] "Exactly. I'm not even capable of knowing what that can do even though I basically saw it done to Jeremiah Jones."

[MJC:] "Minus the barbed wire though. And not assisted by Geese."

[John:] "Folks, we once again caution you that this match isn't for the easily disturbed."

[MJC:] "Kyle promised to end the lives of his opponents. I'm not exactly sure why law enforcement isn't around here. I don't care if you agree to a match, even a violent one, you don't agree to being killed in one. It's still a crime. Just like launching someone into space is. Getting hit by a chair is one thing but murder is never legal anywhere and being in a wrestling ring doesn't suddenly make it ok. The authorities should be here."

[John:] "Well, I think Clyde and Figaro have shown us they aren't push overs. In fact, it was Figaro who threw Kyle 10 feet in the air at Voltage. It was Figaro who once pinned Jack Dod. It was Figaro who took out teams who threatened Clyde."

[MJC:] "It was Clyde who took a bat in the stomach to save Celes from getting hit in the face."

[Luke:] "Clyde and Figaro both have the heart of heroes. I know that first hand."

[MJC:] "And from you, that means something."

[John:] "But can two heroes fight off men with such vicious intent?"

[MJC:] "I think we're about to find out."

[John:] "As it looks like we're about to be graced by the presence of both sides."

[Luke:] "Jean, are you ok?"

[MJC:] "I have to get out of here."

*Jean gets up and quickly walks away with Luke following her.*

[John:] "Jean's dislike for Holly is well stated but there's no one who wants to see violence like that happen less then Jean does. Well, in this case, that goes for Kyle and Geese too. I really don't know what to make of this. Robin "Holly" walker has been attacked backstage and it looks like a very scary and perhaps even life threatening scene. I don't know how much of that blood is hers. Jean was right when she said tonight could change our world. That's what Ragnarok is after all, I just don't think Geese meant it this way."

[John:] "Meanwhile, Clyde and Figaro are gone after a pretty huge victory over Geese. Even Geese with his potion couldn't take them on at once, even if he came close to pinning each of them."

Figaro/Clyde (O) ["Palidor Plunge" - 7 years and change] (O) Orochi Geese/Kyle Walker

[John:] "But I don't even think I can talk about that now. Folks, Sergeant Yoshida is telling me I got to cut this short. This broadcast has to end because there's just too much going on. Holly is hurt badly and I can actually hear the ambulances over the absolutely shocked and quiet crowd. Security is persuing Clyde and Figaro as well as anyone who may have done that to Holly. Where's Celes? Where's Alicia Gordon? Was Dramesi really taken out? These are all questions that...ok, ok. We have to go. Thanks for joining us for Ragnarok, everyone. OG-Joshi will have word on Holly's health as soon as they can. Have a Happy New -"
