"Puroresu...wrestling, at its finest. Tonight, we return to the wars of PURE...we return, to Ikusa.."
-"Spy Break" by the PropellerheadsIkusa Hall lights up with a group of laser beams scanning the arena. Red, blue, and yellow pan the crowd, 3500 strong for the redebut of PURE. The usually polite and respectful Japanese fans have come alive, cheering madly. The camera pans the masses, slowly coming to rest on the announce position. Two new faces sit there, with PURE commentator Hitomi Asami in the center.Hitomi Asami: Welcome to the rebirth of PURE!Mat Waters: FORGET THE REBIRTH OF PURE! I WANT TO SEE BOOBS, DAMNIT!Byron Calver: Look at yourself! I can't believe our new owner hired you!Hitomi Asami: I'm Hitomi Asami, alongside Byron Calver and Mat Waters, our new PURE commentators....why oh why could Sean not resign Mori?Byron Calver: I apologize for my fellow commentator's actions. I'm Byron Calver...Mat Waters: And I'm Mat Waters, the only commentator here worth listening to!"Walk with me my little child........to the forest of denial....."Byron Calver: And here comes, presumably, our new owner!"Forest" by System of a Down plays. As the band's music blasts over the PA system of Ikusa Hall, a man strides out from behind the curtain. He is of medium height, medium build, and brown hair. The Japanese crowd greets him with a touch of optimism, as he takes the microphone..Sean Williams: Greetings to all. I am Sean Williams, the owner of Puroresu Ultimate Ring Entertainment. Emphasis on that first word, PURORESU. This promotion shall be puroresu. We will not have Ali Khadafi running around assaulting members of the NAACP. We will not have men disgracing the tradition established by great Japanese superstars such as Shohei Baba, Mitsuharu Misawa, Tiger Mask, Jushin Lyger...the list goes on and on.The crowd politely applauds at the mention of the names, legends of puroresu.Sean Williams: Tonight, The End will face Inphino Blitz in our main event...two outstanding juniors in the wrestling world today.....PURE will, once again, stand for WRESTLING! DIGNITY! HONOR!"Boring!"The owner's head snaps back towards the one word, emanating from the entryway.Byron Calver: HONOR IS NOT BORING!Mat Waters: Yes it is! Someone please come out here and cause violence!After a few moments, "Shake Your Bon Bon" by Ricky Martin begins to play, as PURE's owner stands in the middle of his ring, eyes glaring daggers into the entryway, as a young woman emerges. Her dark, Latin complexion provides a stark contrast to the large amount of pale faces in the arena, as do her multiple piercings, which further clash with her business outfit.. Williams looks as if he has seen a flying rhinocerous..Sean Williams: Ma'am.....what business do you have here? There is no rock concert here tonight, we're putting on a wrestling show.Woman: Oh, I know......allow me to explain. You know how TokyoPop owns twenty percent of your company? Their owner is here tonight. I'm his secretary, Melina..ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to, the representative of TokyoPop......MR.......JAMAR.......WILSON!"Saturdays" by Ludakris now hits the speakers, as a young, athletic black man emerges from the back, carrying a wheel on his shoulders. He places the wheel off to the side, and sends his secretary to the back with a quick pat on the backside.Jamar Wilson: Miss Melina Gotabody, everyone!Jamar smiles and shrugs cockily, not endearing himself to the crowd in the least..Jamar Wilson: Anyway, Sean..it's time to clear things up from the start. You may own 80 percent of this company....but you, my friend, are going to give me as much power as I want...Sean Williams: I know what TokyoPop does Jamar....if you honestly think I'm going to give you ANYTHING....Jamar Wilson: Remember, I control the TV deal.....no power for me....means no power to those TV cameras you have rolling...meaning no revenue....meaning bye bye PURE!Byron Calver: That bastard is holding us hostage!Mat Waters: Good! Now maybe that idiot Sean can give in so Jamar can entertain us!Byron Calver: I haven't been entertained at all yet...Mat Waters: MY ASS YOU HAVEN'T! I saw you staring at Jamar's secretary!Byron Calver: Yeah, she was quite charming......pretty too an-- WAIT A SECOND!Waters is too busy laughing at his colleague. Hitomi looks ready to cry as Jamar continues.Jamar Wilson: So, I've come up with some ideas to kick this show into high-gear! You see this wheel here? Well, I saw you've made this PURE Ultimate Junior Tournament, or something like that....anyway, who wants to watch little guys fight anyway? So, to make it more interesting, this tournament is now the PURE Ultimate Junior WHEEL OF SPINNING SORROW Tournament!Byron Calver and Hitomi Asami: WHAT?!Jamar Wilson: Before each match in this tournament, this wheel will be spun to determine what type of match it will be. We have lots of good ones up here!The fans boo....realizing Jamar's intent with the flashy wheel gimmick.Jamar Wilson: I'll be back out here soon to spin the wheel! Until then, have fun! Remember, the E in PURE is for ENTERTAINMENT!Hitomi Asami: Our owner has been held hostage by this Jamar character! We'll be back, with whatever ends up happening!(PURE:Ikusa has been brought to you by Microsoft Word....sweet sweet Word and making these cards easier to edit)Byron: Welcome back ladies and gentleman, I've just receieved word that Ming vs. the Dark Poet has been changed to a CAGE match....Hitomi: Jamar sure does like this "entertainment" stuff a little too muchByron:But before the match let's go to earlier comments from Ming regarding his Juniorweight tourney match....*The scene switches to footage with "earlier today" in the corner, where we find the lovely Hitomi Asami standing backstage with the Sexiest Chinese Man Alive, Ming. He stands tall, fixing his long braid of hair and rubbing his hands as he flashes his pearly white smile to the camera. Hitomi smiles before asking*Hitomi: Tonight Ming, you will be facing a free agent within the PURE Ultimate Junior Tourney, The Dark Poet. Your thoughts on your match?*Ming licks his lips, cockily looking to the camera as he addresses the fans, the usual Ming confidence exuding over the arena*Ming: Hitomi...look at me...I'm happy. I mean, how good is it for a guy like me to be back home....in the East....with all these BEAUTIFUL...BEAUTIFUL ORIENTAL WOMEN!!*The ladies filling Ikusa Hall let out a loud cheer for Ming, who pauses accordingly and nods his head.*Ming: I've got the hometown advantage and the skills sweety, you think I'm gonna be losing tonight? Let's be honest, when you talk ULTIMATE JUNIOR, you have got to be talking Ming and I don't care what kind of match Jamar has set up or created for me to wrestle in...singles match....ladder match....hardcore match....FLAMING HOMOSEXUAL MIDGET ON A POLE MATCH, MING IS READY. So with that, I have a little "poetry" for The Dark Poet myself...*Ming clears his throat, lookign to the camera as serious as possible, which seems quite hard for the FSW sensation as he says*Ming: Dark Poet....you've got a match with the man they call Ming....Screw Brock Lesner, I'm already the "Big Thing"...And after I beat you, and advance in this tourney...I'm gonna celebrate by making some girls say....OH ME SO HORNY!!*With that, Ming smiles and leaves the interview area, Hitomi holding back the urge to smile as the scene cuts, getting back to the ring. The packed Ikusa Hall desperately awaits the following cage match between “The Sexiest Chinese Man Alive” Ming, and “The Dark Poet” Rayve Leeuws. There are signs all over the arena for guys like Inphino Blitz, The End, and even the Gekito Cup winner Enmity. As the cage is being lowered, a tall, dark ring announcer enters the ring with a microphone in hand.*Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen. Are YOU ready for this first round match-up...between Ming and Rayve Leeuws?*The crowds goes nuts because they know both competitors would do whatever it takes to make it past the first round of the Ultimate Jr. Tournament.*Ring Announcer: Then without further adieu...let the battle commence!*As the cage lowers onto the ring apron, the announcer exits through the door as the lights dim and spotlight falls upon the entrance. Making his way out first is FSW’s star Ming. He waves to the crowd as he makes his way down to ringside and gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. Next up, Rayve makes his way down and gets a little bit more boos then Ming did. Both take their respective corners waiting for the bell. The camera pans from the ring to the announcer’s table where Byron Calver, Mat Waters, and Hitomi Asami sit.*Calver: This is going to be quite the match. *Looking to his side* As you can see, I am joined by Waters and Asami. The three of us have taken over Ikusa!Waters: Yay!Asami: Please you two. Try to keep your manners and honor this evening. We ARE on television remember.Waters: *Waves to the camera*Calver: Okay, okay. Time to get the match underway!*The bell rings and the two combatants lock-up in the center of ring right off the bat! The camera pans back to the ring to catch Ming putting Rayve in a headlock.*Calver: And there’s a headlock by Ming. Looks like he’s going to try and start this match off by wearing down his opponent.Waters: What the hell is that!? A HEADLOCK!? He should’ve brought a steel chair into the ring and cracked Rayve’s skull! Or rake his face against the steel cage...or anything!Calver: Just shakes his head**Rayve whips Ming into the ropes and attempts a clothesline but ‘The Mingster’ ducks it. Rayve flies off the opposing ropes and tries knock him down with a shoulder block but the two don’t budge one another.*Calver: Looks like these two will have to try better tactics next time...Waters: Bring in a freakin’ chair!Asami: I’m embarrassed for the both of us...*Rayve puts his hand up for a test of strength and it looks as if Ming is going to take part in it. But it will not be the case on this night. Ming kicks Rayve in the stomach and delivers a lightning quick DDT burying Rayve’s face into the canvas.*Calver: WOW! That DDT came out of nowhere. This should start getting good fast!Asami: Now you know...if those were traditional puro wrestlers in there; that would not have happened. That steel cage would not be around the ring either.Waters: Pipe down Hitomi! That steel cage makes for great entertainment...*Ming puts his boot and Rayve’s chest and walks right across him as if he were a speed bump. Rayve gasps for air as Ming mounts him and starts pummeling him with rights and lefts.*Calver: Now it’s starting to pick up! Ming is going to take Rayve to a whole new level in this match. I couldn’t think of a better I’d like to see this happen then right here in PURE!*Ming slaps the taste out of Rayve’s mouth and the crowd boos at the un-sportsmanlike conduct. Ming picks up Rayve and brings him over to the corner and starts chopping at his chest. With every pounding slice the crowd reacts with a “WHOOO” and it looks like Ming is soaking it all in. Chop after chop after chop. Ming steps away from the corner but then charges at Rayve with a shoulder block. Rayve jumps it and hooks his legs around Ming’s waist while rolling forward, bringing Ming over in a pinning combination.*Asami: Did you see that!?Calver: What a great move executed by Rayve Leeuws. I bet you don’t see action like that over in the West, huh Mat?Waters: *Grumbles*Asami: Too bad the only way to win this cage match is by climbing out or walking through the door...*Rayve gets up still holding onto Ming’s legs and locks in a side leg lock. Rayve wrenches it in and Ming starts trying to escape...finally feeling the effects of the hold. Ming rolls over and kicks Rayve square in the jaw as Rayve goes down in a heap clenching his mouth.*Calver: Ming is getting desperate here. He has to wear down Rayve if he ever wants to end this match with the Dragon Cutter.*Ming gets up and drops an elbow into Rayve’s spine who WAS on his hands and knees trying to regain composure. Ming climbs the turnbuckle hoping Rayve is down long enough. And indeed he was. Ming leaps from the top rope and lands perfectly on Rayve’s back with a body splash.*Waters: That one move could end the match right there. Perfect opportunity for Ming to bring in the...CHAIR!!Asami: Give it a rest, Mat!*Ming makes his way to one side of the ring and begins climbing the meshed steel. He makes it halfway up before Rayve gets to his feet and knowing where he his. Rayve runs to the corner nearest Ming and ascends to the top rope. Rayve jumps off and dropkicks Ming in the ribs sending him off of the cage and into the ropes. The crowd goes nuts as Ming’s neck snaps off the top rope and falls to the mat trying to catch a breath.*Calver: Another move from Rayve that came at the perfect time!Asami: I’m impressed...Waters: Luck!*Rayve drops a leg across Ming’s neck and the crowd pops again. Rayve picks Ming up and moves to Ming’s rear looking for a German suplex or something of the sort. He locks his arms around Ming’s waist but Ming catches Rayve with a low blow. Rayve falls to the canvas and Ming stands over him with a grin on his face.*Calver: I wonder what Ming is going to attempt now. He looks to have Rayve right where he wants him...*Ming picks up Rayve, grabs the back of his head, and sends him flying face-first into the cage. Needless to say it busted Rayve’s head open and put him in a world of hurt.*Waters: Yes! That is the kind of merciless thinking you need to make it anywhere in these tournaments.Asami: It was affective...*Ming grabs Rayve by the hair and wipes his face against the steel opening the gash even more. Ming puts Rayve’s body up against the cage behind the ropes and Rayve looks to be out of it. Ming runs to the other side of the ring, bounces off the ropes, and sends himself feet first into Rayve’s gut like a torpedo. Rayve curls over in pain as his body his hunched over the middle rope. Still on the attack, Ming drops his body against Rayve’s neck with a leg drop of his own almost knocking out the combatant.*Asami: I don’t think I can watch this kind of abuse! Ming should just finish this and allow Rayve to walk away.Waters: You sissy! This is great!Calver: I do have to agree with Mat on this one, Hitomi. This is the kind of action that sets the PURE stars apart from the jobbers.*Rayve lies on the apron coming in and out of consciousness. Ming signals to the crowd and they go nuts. Ming picks Rayve up and puts him in a crucifix powerbomb hold. Ming hoists him in the air and brings him crashing down with a neck breaker sending the crowd into an even bigger frenzy.*Calver: THE DRAGON CUTTER!! THE DRAGON CUTTER!!Asami: I have never seen that move but I love it now!Waters: FINISH HIM OFF!! COME ON!!*Ming looks down at the broken opponent and just laughs him off. He walks over to the door and steps out onto the floor to end the match. The crowd seemed to be into it the whole time and went ecstatic when Ming applied The Dragon Cutter.*Ring Announcer: The winner of this match...MIIIING!!Byron: Incredible win for the FSW superstarMat: I wanna meet some of these "me so horny" girls he was talking about after the show!*Looking down from above over the jampacked Ikusa Hall from the luxury Skybox high in the heavens of the arena, is none other than 20% owner Jamar Wilson, the man who endeared himself not to kindly to the fans before and seems to care less and less by the minute, if he even cared at all. Fixing his silk tie, he's on his baby blue Nokia cellular phone, still looking below at the fans with a cocky disdain as he continues on the phone while centering his glasses, his voice one of relaxed authority.* Jamar: Yea....uh huh, yes I'm quite pleased. This is about easily the best investment I've ever made. I mean come on...give me two months, I'll be runnin' this joint. You just get ready to invest in some stock. Sean....that terd....he won't be a problem for long...I have it handled, you know me right? * He takes a seat in his plush revolving chair, still cockily stroking his own inflated ego via the phone conversation.*Jamar: This is all too easy...I'll have PURE the top wrestling company in Japan AND have that dipsh** out of power in no time. These Pokemon watching numbnuts won't know what hit em'. My suprise....oh yeah, he'll be here....just need some paperwork....I gave it to Melina...I should be expecting her... Melina: Someone said my name? *Mr.Wilson's SkyBox door opens up, his eyes roaming over the lens of his glasses to the lovely Latina, Melina Gotabody, with a clipboard in hand standing in the entryway. That grin turns to a giddy smile as he takes in the site that is her, the silk buisness dress hugging her slender body quite nicely as she flashes a seductive grin towards her employer, obviously this relationship between them being more pleasure then businessJamar: I'll call you back. *Jamar presses a button on his phone, turning it off as he sits up in his chair and looks toward his lovely secratary as she asks him.* Melina: Has our surprise for President "Tradition" shown up yet? *Mr.Wilson lets out a slight laugh at Melina's insult to his unwanted partner in power with PURE, leaning back in his chair as he lacksidasically answers*Jamar: Not yet babe, but he won't be able to get in anyways if I don't have that contract for my little suprise. So....*He strikes her a smile with a weird cocktail of lust, business, and cockiness all his own towards Kathleen, reciprocated with her own little grin as he finishes.*Jamar: You got something for me? Melina: You mean something along the lines of a contract that would spoil Mr.William's plans for "tradition" and "pure wrestling"? I think so. Jamar: What would I do without you?*Sliding back in his chair, he pats his lap while throwing an endearing smile to his lovely counterpart, calling her over with a slight gesture of his finger. Never one to say no to her "boss" Melina comes around his wooden desk and takes a seat...on his lap as suggest as she shows Jamar the contract in question, Melina playing with his tie as he reads it over *Jamar: Sean thinks he's the only one with a few suprises for PURE....I'm gonna make sure he stays on his toes with me. It's only a matter of time before this whole company is MINE. But of course, one day at a time....so what do we do to pass the time?Melina: Are you thinking what I'm thinking...*Melina and Jamar smirk at each other, the two of them seemingly on the same note about something. Nearing their heads to each other the two say in unison in a low, evil tone*Jamar & Melina: FIRE SOMEBODYMelina: But who? I mean the choices are endless around here...Jamar: Well...how about we make that little match between Christopher Kanox and Siena a "Pink Slip" match....I've been told people figth harder when they have something to lose....*Melina feigns as gasp of concern, holding her hands to her mouth as if she were shocked and appaled as she says*Melina: But that would mean...we'd be toying with the lives of two young and hungry superstars and ending one of their careers before it has a chance to begin....God I love how you think...*With that, the fiendish couple seal their new addition to the Siena/Kanox match with a soft kiss, the scene fading*(PURE:Ikusa is brought to you by "Cheap Fortune Cookie Messages"....someone's gotta write em')Byron Calver: Well, our next match of the evening will feature six of PURE’s newest stars. The ruthless Fight Club will be taking on the team of Jason Arawn, Enmity and Deacon. Arawn, Enmity and Deacon are all call-ups from the Primetime Wrestling Academy while Fight Club seems to be from, well, they seem to have just come out of nowhere.Mat Waters: Well, hopefully they get it over with quick. Nobody wants to waste time watching these six losers.“Fight Music” hits the speakers as a mixed reaction flows through the Japanese crowd. The three members of Fight Club make there way out very focused and ignoring all other distractions. They roll into the ring and immediately go into the corner.Hitomi Asami: These three shootists look like they are very focused tonight. This contest will be interesting because of the contrasting styles between the shoot fighters and their opponents, who are mostly Junior Heavyweights.“Diluted” by Slipknot hits the speakers as the crowd gives a mild pop to the team of Arawn, Enmity and Deacon come out. The three lightweights roll into the ring and start psyching themselves up for the contest.Byron Calver: Enmity looked pretty impressive in Gekito on Wednesday, hopefully he’ll be able to continue his success.Hanza Kibigame: The following match is a Six-Man Tag Team match! Introducing first, to my left, weighing in at a combined 631lbs, the team of ENMITY, JASON ARAWN AND ANDREW DEACON CONNOR!!A few cheer in the crowd for the trio, who bow to the ring announcer as a sign of respect. Arawn whispers something to Deacon that you have to assume is some sort of strategy.Hanza Kibigame: …and their opponents, at a combined weight of 755lbs, Andrew MacLellan, Michael Hakiashu and Paul McMunson…THE FIGHT CLUB!!!!The Fight Club simultaneously bows to the ring announcer as the crowd gives a really mixed reaction. Deacon looks to start things off and the Fight Club give Paul McMunson the nod to stay in the ring. The bell rings and the fighters start to stalk each other.Byron Calver: McMunson is a former bareknuckle boxer, so it’ll be interesting how his style adapts in the ring.Deacon and Paul lock up quickly, but neither man can gain an advantage. They break the grapple, but McMunson is surprised by a quick kick to the face from Deacon. Paul staggers backward, but quickly regains his composure. Deacon throws another kick, but McMunson ducks it backs off.Byron Calver: Andrew Deacon Connor is looking impressive with those kicks. Did you know he’s a Federal Agent?Mat Waters: Why would we need an FBI Agent? Do they even have jurisdiction here??Byron Calver: I dunno, he apparently is on the look-out for the paranormal.Deacon quickly shuffles back and forth on his feet and throws a kick to the mid-section. The Belfast native catches the kick however and plows through Deacon with an aggressive Leg-Trap Clothesline.Mat Waters: Heh, how’s that for paranormal?Deacon is quick to get up, though, but McMunson is ready. Paul lunges at him for another clothesline, but Deacon ducks it. As McMunson puts on the breaks, Deacon goes down and dropkicks the back of his knee, toppling the Irishman. On the outside Andrew and Michael have their eyes set on Enmity in the other corner.Hitomi Asami: Ah, the Fight Club seems focused on Enmity. It was, after all, Enmity who spoiled them from having a successful debut on Gekito.Inside the ring Deacon takes down McMunson with a Swinging Necbreaker. Almost as quickly as he hit it, he’s back up and climbing the top-rope. McMunson gets to his just in time to see Deacon come off the top with a picture-perfect Senton Bomb. However, McMunson catches him on the way down, folding him up with a Sit-Down Powerbomb.Mat Waters: JEEZUS! You’ll only see that in PURE!McMunson holds him in the same position for a pin. 1…2…Deacon kicks out just in time! McMunson leaves him lying crumpled and tags in his partner, Andrew. MacLellan enters quickly and drags Deacon up. He lifts him in a Fireman’s Carry and carries him to the corner, draping him on the top turnbuckle. Andrew climbs up after him, but is met with an elbow to the abdomen. Deacon then latches onto Andrew’s waist and twists off the turnbuckle with a Spinning Flapjack! Deacon crawls over and tags in Jason Arawn.Byron Calver: I’ve heard good things about Arawn’s aerial prowess. Let’s see if he can capitalize.Almost as if he heard PURE’s Resident Christian, Arawn springs to the top-rope. He checks out Andrew’s position and comes off the top with a Twisting Body Attack, landing with his back crushing the ribs of the Fight Club leader. Arawn gets back up quickly and looks down and Andrew, who groans. Instead of going for the pin, Arawn does a standing Shooting Star Press, right into pinning position. 1…2…KICK OUT!Hitomi Asami: What agility!Andrew rolls onto his stomach instinctively as Arawn gets to his feet. Jason picks Andrew up to his feet and wrenches his arm. While the Armwrench is in, Jason goes for a hook kick, but with his free hand, Andrew grabs the foot and throws it back, spinning Jason and making him break the hold. Arawn then charges at Andrew, but the shootist catches him with an overhead Belly-to-Belly, sending him across the ring. Andrew doesn’t even look back and just points at Enmity ferociously.Byron Calver: Andrew seems focused on Enmity!Mat Waters: Wouldn’t you be if the man that stole your Gekito Cup was standing right infront of you?Byron Calver: He didn’t steal it! He won it fair and square!Andrew turns to Arawn and drags him to his feet. Arawn counters with a kick to the midsecton and jumps onto Andrew’s shoulders. He leans back to throw him, but the veteran had it scouted. Andrew blocks the Hurricanrana and lifts Jason back into powerbomb position. Andrew spins three times, dizzying Jason, before finally slamming him full force into the mat. Instead of covering, however, Andrew encourages the fallen Arawn to drag himself to Enmity and tag him in.Hitomi Asami: That is not the way to fight an opponent. Andrew is showing a weakness by letting a vendetta affect him in this match.Instead of tagging out, Arawn uses the side ropes to climb to his feet. Andrew swears under his breath and makes his way over to Arawn. Arawn tries to defend himself, but Andrew stomps him in the midsection. Jason is leaning up against the ropes while Andrew continues stomping a mudhole in him. Then Andrew drags him back up on his feet, locks his waist and tosses him across the ring area. He then quickly stomps on the back of his head in anger.Byron Calver: Wow, Andrew really is aggressive tonight. Actually, when isn’t he aggressive?Andrew crouches, poised at Arawn, who is crawling toward Enmity. Arawn finally reaches his corner and a smirk fills Andrew’s face. However, Enmity hops from the apron, refusing to make the tag.Mat Waters: What a pussy!Byron Calver: It’s mind games Mat, he doesn’t want Andrew to get what he wants!Enmity walks backwards, up the ramp and through the curtain as Andrew roars out in anger. Arawn is just as surprised as the crowd with Enmity’s retreat, but still tags Agent Deacon into the ring.Hitomi Asami: Mind games or not, Enmity is leaving his two green partners in the ring with three seasoned veterans. I think it’s safe to say this match is degenerating into a cat and mouse game for the Fight Club.Deacon rushes at Andrew and throws himself at him in a cross-body. Andrew, however, is still occupied yelling at the ramp, angered about Enmity’s retreat. Deacon’s cross-body floors him as the FBI Agent kip-ups to his feet, much to the delight of the fans. Deacon rolls himself into a leg-drop, right onto Andrew’s throat.Mat Waters: C’mon Andrew, just get up and kill the punk.Deacon nonchalantly bends over to pick up the downed Shooter. Andrew, however, quickly drives his shoulder into Deacon’s face, sending the federal agent stumbling back, holding his nose in pain. Andrew gets to his feet and looks at Deacon in disgust. He clutches Deacon by the throat and yells something inaudible right in his face. He then lifts him off the ground for a chokeslam.Byron Calver: Andrew has gone off the deep end!Instead of driving Deacon into the mat, however, Andrew uses his free hand to lifts the agent over his head in a press. Andrew walks over to his corner, easily balancing the lightweight over his head, and allows McMunson to tag himself in off of his back. Andrew and Paul turn to each other, both with sadistic grins on their faces…Byron Calver: Oh God, I can’t watch…Andrew drops Deacon out of the air, right into a well-timed Stunner by McMunson, sending Deacon into a quick jolt of convulsions and twitches. The crowd screams out in Japanese, but it’s obviously something along the lines of…Mat Waters: HOLY SHIT!Before exiting the ring, however, Andrew charges an elbow into Arawn, who is recovering on the apron, sending Jason crashing into the barricade. He cries out, holding his back, as Andrew nonchalantly exits the ring. McMunson mounts the crumpled mess that was Deacon and grins. The referee bends down to count, but Paul waves it off. Instead, he starts to drill Deacon with rights and lefts.Byron Calver: This is uncalled for. The referee should stop the fight.Deacon tries to defend his face, but the flurry is too much. The Bareknuckle Boxing Champion continues to drive fist after fist into Deacon’s face. The referee checks on Deacon, who is now unconscious, and rings the bell. McMunson immediately stops his attack and rises, leaving the cameras to focus on a crimson-masked Deacon.Hitomi Asami: Humanely, the referee has stopped the bout and awarded the Fight Club the win.“Fight Music” plays in the background as the three shooters have a quick huddle, congratulating each other. Hanza climbs into the ring with his microphone and points to the victors.Hanza Kibigame: Our winners by, well, uh …technical knockout… the FIGHT CLUB!A mixed reaction occurs for the team, mostly boos but a few scattered cheers, as the trio exits the ring lead by Andrew Maclellan.(PURE:Ikusa is brought to you by Japanese Hospitals...cuase them three foo's are gonna need one after that ass-whoopin')*Hitomi Asami and Byron Calver await the next match. Hitomi is astutely paying attention to the ring, where Hanza Kibagame stands prepared to call the ring announcing as soon as the wrestlers come into the ring. Byron is busily tacking away at his laptop.Hitomi: It is time for the next match between two newcomers to PURE, but foreign wrestlers, but skilled enough to wrestle in PURE.Byron: Yeah... DANGIT!Hitomi: What?Byron: Clyde just pinned me after a broomstick up the rectum!After such a confusing statement, Hitomi looks around, but sees no one.Hitomi: What are you talking about?Byron: Dice Fighting. It’s still not as bad as Sean, he’s still jobbed to Brandi and Aimz’s Double Bouncing Breasts Attack.A pause between the two...Hitomi: Don’t talk anymore.Byron: That’s alright, I’ll be busy here anyway.Christopher Kanox walks out with no music.Hitomi: Christopher Kanox is one of the international wrestlers that PURE hired during the restructuring. He is a very bare-bones style of wrestler who doesn’t even want any music played when he comes out. From the tapes I’ve seen of him, he puts emphasis on the effectiveness of the old techniques, rather than trying to develop an unnecessarily flashy wrestling style.Byron: "Byron charges Sky and sticks his arm out for a clothesline..." YES! 19!Hitomi: Keep it down!Kanox gets to the ring and very plainly climbs up to the apron and steps through the ropes. He moves over to the red corner and does a few last-minute stretches before his match.Hitomi: And here comes his opponent, Siena.The 6’4", 235 lb. Siena walks out from the back with "Epiphany" by Staind playing on the TokyoPop-provided sound system.Hitomi: Siena prides himself on being a very-skilled technical wrestler, but he says that he can fly when he has to. He’s also the larger man in this match, Kanox only looks to be about 5’9" and 195 lb. at my estimate.Byron: Suicidal Dream?! Oh, thank goodness it only rolled a 3. "Byron counters into a DDT." WOO! 15! "Byron then stands up and laughs at Brandi."Hitomi: Shh!Siena rolls into the ring under the bottom rope and moves to the center of the ring to raise his arms for a response from the fans. Being an unknown foreigner, they don’t give much of a response either way.Hitomi: At best, a lukewarm reaction to both men. That may change once the match starts. Now let us go to Hanza Kibagame for the ring announcement!Hanza Kibagame stands in the middle of the ring with microphone in hand.Hanza: Welcome, puroresu fans, to another wonderful PURE match! At the request of the wrestlers, I shall forego any emotionally charged introduction and simply introduce them so that they may begin the battle.Hitomi: I think that’s the first time anyone in PURE has turned down a formal ring announcement. These two Gaijin must really want to wrestle and prove themselves.Byron: "Clyde stabs Sky. Online Host says Clyde rolls 9." A scrape, ha! "Sky slaps away the plastic knife and jumpkicks Clyde in the face. Online Host says Sky rolls 16."Back in the ring...Hanza: So, in the red corner, Christopher Kanox! And in the blue corner, Siena!Announcer Kibagame steps out of the ring and the bell rings. Both wrestlers charge into a lockup.Hitomi: Eager collar-and-elbow tieup from the two Gaijin.Byron: NO! Eliminated with a groin kick!Hitomi: Two wrestlers are trying to make a name for themselves in PURE, and you’re being very disrespectful to them by carrying on an Internet chat.Byron: It’s The Dice Fighting Championships!Hitomi: I don’t care! Get off the computer or I’ll shove it down your throat!Byron: Fine, fine. Don’t be so touchy.Hitomi: I’m just serious about my work. Try it sometime.Kanox spins into an arm wringer on Siena. He wrenches it in twice, then pulls Siena into a side headlock.Hitomi: Christopher Kanox goes behind into a hammerlock, and is starting the match at a steady pace.Byron: If he’s going to be doing this all match, he’ll be lucky to make Siena bat an eyelash at his offense.Kanox moves back into a side headlock on Siena and takes him over with a headlock takedown. The referee counts the pin with Siena’s shoulders down on the mat.1-2-Kickout.Siena slips free of the headlock, rolling to his feet and charging Kanox. Kanox anticipated Siena’s move and falls back while locking his arm around Siena’s arm and shoulder.Hitomi: Japanese Arm Drag!The crowd warms up a bit to the move, but quickly quiets back down to the normal arena noise level. Kanox moves right into an armbar on Siena.Byron: "Hits Brandi with a chair." 13? Aw...Siena is able to snap his foot up to kick Kanox in the head. Kanox releases the armbar as he falls over.Hitomi: Siena escapes the armbar.Byron: "Byron locks in an armbar..."Kanox rises ahead of Siena and takes him over with a hip toss. Siena gets back up and suffers a dropkick to the chest from the smaller Kanox.Byron: *Yawns*Hitomi: A simple, yet effective early offense has Kanox in control of the pace of the match. Siena seems to want to wrestle faster than his opponent will allow.Kanox pulls Siena back to his feet and backs him to the ropes, whipping him away. Siena reverses the whip, and attempts to pull it back into a shortarm clothesline. Kanox ducks the arm and grabs Siena in a rear waistlock. Siena throws a back elbow, which Kanox blocks and answers with a forearm to the back of the head, which leaves Siena open for a what the Western wrestling lexicon would call a Victory Roll.Hitomi: Jumping HH Pin!1-2-Kickout.Kanox catches the rising Siena in a Small Package Pin.1-2-Kickout.Kanox keeps up the offense by picking up Siena for a scoop slam and dropping an elbow across his chest. Siena rolls over to the ropes. Kanox follows him in and whips him away. Siena comes back into a drop toehold from the smaller man, and as he gets back up to all fours, Kanox pounces onto him, rolling him into a recliner pin.Hitomi: Gedo Clutch! The fans recognize that move and give it a good response.Siena is again surprised by the pinning predicament, but he has suffered little attack and safely kicks out at the count of two.Hitomi: Siena rolls to the outside...Byron: In American wrestling, a wrestler goes to the outside to regain his composure and catch his breath. Rethink a strategy if the current one isn’t working.Hitomi: But he is acknowledging at the moment that Kanox is winning?Byron: Yeah, sure.Kanox waits patiently in the ring while Siena is on the outside. The referee starts the count to twenty.Byron: Twenty?Hitomi: In Japan, we don’t limit wrestlers to the ring with ten seconds on the outside. Though in this case, I would like for Siena to get back in the ring.Siena rolls back into the ring. Kanox moves in with a kick at the midsection. Siena catches the kick, and as Kanox attempts a followup Enziguri, Siena ducks. Kanox falls to the mat, and Siena moves into an Elevated half-crab with his knee wedged into Kanox’s back.Byron: There we go. A submission. Let this match be overwith so I can go back to my chat.Hitomi: No, no...Siena puts the move on too close to the ropes. Kanox grabs the bottom rope, and Siena must break his submission.Hitomi: Siena shows his lack of experience in the ring, a veteran would have pulled his opponent away from the ring ropes before applying a submission.As Kanox pulls himself up on the middle rope, Siena grabs both of his legs and pulls him up and away off the rope, slamming him down to the mat.Byron: A face-first powerbomb off of the ropes. Siena might’ve planned that from since the submission, explaining why he didn’t pull Kanox away.Hitomi: Perhaps. Good for him if he thought ahead to his next move.Siena moves up to Kanox’s head and locks him in a full nelson, pulling him up off the mat.Hitomi: Siena is strong enough to pull his opponent off the mat with that dead-lift.Byron: To be a wrestler, it’s safe to be able to dead-lift at least 90% of your body weight. Obviously, more is even better.Siena holds Kanox off of the mat in a full nelson. He jumps up and swings Kanox to the side while dropping his left arm; Kanox lands backfirst on the mat with Siena on his knees at his right side.Byron: Sitdown Full Nelson Slam.Hitomi: I think he would have gotten a better reaction form the crowd had he done a Dragon Suplex.Leaving Kanox in the center of the ring, Siena sprints to the ropes and steps out to the apron. He grabs the top rope and leans his weight back before pulling himself forward in a jump. He springs onto the top rope, turning 180 on the first jump, and backflips off the rope with the second jump. This move finally elicits a pop from the crowd.Hitomi: Double Jump Springboard Moonsault!Siena lands the move perfectly, and he covers Kanox for the pin.1... 2... KICKOUT!Siena again leaves Kanox in position and runs off the ropes. He returns into a front rolling tumble, and jumps out of it with a leg drop. It gets less of a reaction than the moonsault, but a good reaction nonetheless.Byron: Rolling Thunder Leg DropHitomi: That’s just a tumbling leg drop.Byron: But the American fans will want it called the Rolling Thunder Leg Drop.Hitomi: We cater to Puroresu fans, not just American fans.1... 2... KICKOUT!Siena pulls Kanox up to a seat and runs off the ropes behind him for a flipover neck whip.Byron: I could do that.Hitomi: Kidding aside, Siena is using more impact moves, whereas Kanox was mainly concerned with quick pins and outwrestling Siena on the mat.Once again, Siena attempts the pin on Kanox.1... 2... No!Frustrated, Siena moves to Kanox’s legs and turns him around. He ties up Kanox’s legs with his own left ankle facing away, and drops back.Hitomi: An Indian Deathlock on the smaller man.Siena falls back, stands up, and falls back again. For added damage, he drops an elbow onto the back of Kanox’s head each time.Byron: Which Indians? Ethnic Indians? Geographic Indians? Native Americans?Hitomi: I don’t know, that’s what the move is called.Byron: Sheep.Hitomi: What?Byron: Oh, nothing.Kanox taps the mat once or twice in succession, but does not give up. Siena changes things up by taking the Indian Deathlock into an inverted STF.Hitomi: An inverted STF looks damaging, but the wrestler must have perfect balance to bridge the opponent up into the submission. Otherwise, it’s just reclining on the opponent.Siena senses that he’s not doing as much damage as he could, and releases the submission in favor of a normal STF.Byron: You’re magic.Hitomi: Please don’t hit on me.Byron: Okay.Siena cinches the hold in deep. Kanox tries to move to the ropes, but he can’t.Byron: Siena’s been working those high-risk moves into his technical submission offense beautifully. And this STF looks inescapable.Kanox taps the mat once. Twice. His hands stay down and he pushes up, rolling over onto Siena for a pin within the submission!1...2...No!Siena had to release his submission to kick out. Kanox is very slow to get up, and gives Siena his opening to drop a knee onto the back of his opponent’s head.Hitomi: Siena is going up to the top rope.Siena stands on the top turnbuckle, with Kanox lying face down on the mat. He holds his arms out and leaps...Byron: Swandive Headbutt!Kanox, even with his face to the mat, has enough awareness and presence of mind to roll away. Siena drops face-first to the mat!Hitomi: That high-risk maneuver definitely did not pay off!Byron: "Byron attacks Clyde with a superkick from hell!"Hitomi: PUT THE COMPUTER AWAY!Byron: Yes, Mother. Geez...Christopher Kanox slowly crawls, dragging himself with only his arms, back over to Siena and rolls him over. Putting all his strength into that, Kanox lazily drapes an arm across Siena’s chest and covers him for the pin.1!2!3No!Hitomi: Siena kicks out!The crowd is finally into the match, even though there hasn’t been the usual back and forth action that they would prefer.Byron: I’m thirsty. Can I get a Coke here?Hitomi: Focus on the match!Byron: Sheesh!Siena gets to his feet first and pulls Kanox up to a knee, most likely preparing to hit his opponent in the face. Siena runs to the ropes in front of Kanox and bounces off for the return.Hitomi: Siena runs into a rising back elbow from Christopher Kanox!Kanox falls into an elbow drop on Siena, performing the move on the fly as his right leg gave out on him.Byron: Siena did the damage, Kanox is having trouble standing on his right leg.Kanox stands up and hops on his left leg while bringing Siena back up to his feet. Siena slaps away Kanox’s arms and scoops him up onto his shoulders, preparing for his set-up Emerald Fusion.Hitomi: Siena is ready to end the match once and for all.Kanox slips out behind Siena and grabs him around the waist, lifting him up but spinning him away for Blue Thunder Bomb. Siena spins with it and lands on his feet, kicking Kanox in the stomach. Siena picks up Kanox for a powerbomb; Kanox rolls back down to his feet and lifts Siena up and over with a back body drop.Byron: That leg nearly gave out on Kanox, he’s limping even worse now.Kanox pulls up Siena and takes him over with a vertical suplex, wearing down on his own right leg even more.Hitomi: Kanox gives himself little injuries every time he lifts Siena on his right leg. How much more could it take before it buckles?Kanox rolls through the vertical suplex and brings Siena back to his feet, this time lifting him straight up in the air, holding him for five seconds. Finally, Kanox’s leg just gives awy to the weight and he falls down, taking Siena into a sick spiking brainbuster that wasn’t exactly intentional.Byron: Ouch! I felt that neck crumple under the weight.Hitomi: Imagine how Siena feels. American wrestlers aren’t used to taking head-bumps like the Japanese.Kanox is holding his leg in pain, but he requests that the referee not stop the match.Hitomi: Admirable.Kanox has enough presence of mind to roll over and pin Siena.1!2!3NO!Siena BARELY gets the shoulder up.Hitomi: American wrestlers often do not show that kind of resilience. I am impressed.Kanox rolls away to the corner and uses the ropes to pull himself up, though it takes him a while.Byron: I wonder what the guys in the chat would say about this match.Hitomi: NO.Kanox limps over to Siena and pulls him up as best he can with only one leg to support himself on. Siena punches Kanox in the stomach, and dropkicks him in his right knee. Kanox collapses.Hitomi: Kanox could have lasting damage on his right leg if this match goes on much longer.Siena pulls Kanox over to the corner.Byron: Split-legged Moonsault!The crowd pops, and the pin is made.1! 2! 3No!Byron: Kanox kicks out!Hitomi: This is the kind of show the PURE fans want to see out of Western wrestlers.Siena sits Kanox up on the top rope facing away from the ring. He follows up, and jumps onto Kanox’s shoulders, falling back.Byron: Super Reverse Frankensteiner!Hitomi: Kanox held onto the ropes!Siena lands headfirst on the mat. Kanox stands up on the top turnbuckle facing the ring, standing on his left leg.Hitomi: High-risk move!Kanox jumps off the turnbuckle and lands on Siena with a 360 Senton Backsplash!Byron: Incredible move by the one-legged bandit!Kanox stays on Siena, too tired to readjust himself for a proper pin.1! 2! 3!THE WINNER: CHRISTOPHER KANOX!Referee Taki Kuonji raises Kanox's hand and helps him up. Siena soon gets up, and leaves the ring.Hitomi: Siena was nodding his head...Byron: I recognize that. In America, that's usually the way that wrestlers show respect for the skills of the opponent.Christopher holds himself up in the corner with his right hand while standing on his left leg. He raises his other arm to the crowd, and they cheer, having warmed to him.Hitomi: I think this incarnation of PURE will be even better than the first when you have matches like that.Byron: Agreed. Can I go back to the chat now?Hitomi: *Heavy sigh* Whatever, just get off before the next match.Kanox leaves the corner. SUPERKICK! The crowd boos.Byron: What, what happened?Hitomi: Enmity just attacked Christopher Kanox! Why?Byron: I'd bet "Mr. SE" Jamar Wilson might know the answer to that...Enmity pulls Christopher Kanox to the ringpost and steps to the outside.Hitomi: A figure-four leglock around the ringpost?Byron: A guaranteed-injury move we like to use in America.Hitomi: I can't watch this!The fans boo so loud to drown out Christopher Kanox screams of pain from being locked in the submission. Referee Taki Kuoji and Hanza Kibagame are trying to get Enmity to release the hold.Hitomi: Enmity is spitting on the tradition of puroresu!Byron: He's been infected by the virus of Sports Entertainment. Only in that format would anything like this happen.Enmity drops the submission and shoves away the ref and announcer. Kanox pulls his leg back.Hitomi: Ugh...Byron: That's just sick!Kanox's knee is snapped, and his leg is bent in the opposite direction.Hitomi: Cut away! Do anything, go to those ridiculous commercials. GET THIS OFF CAMERA!*We cut outside Ikusa Hall, the night sky blanketing over the jam-packed arena as we find one of PURE's major superstars, The End, standing outside proudly signing autographs for a group of young children. He fixes his mask as he continues his signing's, the kid's faces glowing proudly as his signature graces their pieces of paper.*Kid 1: Thanks End...your so coolEnd: No problem kid...*The innocent moment though is shortly broken as a white stretch limo comes pulling up in front of the arena, running over a water puddle in the streets which splashes over the group of three kids and The End, not exactly pleasing any of them as they turn to the limo. Shortly, the door opens, and emerging from within it is none other than.....*End: Charlie Loc...*None other than PURE's current Jr.Heavyweight champion emerges from out of the limo, brandishing the belt proudly over his shoulder as his black and silver locks of hair flow in the wind. He seems dressed quite emaculately, decked out in a fine suit and holding his nose in air as if he were a movie star, looking out to the sky and saying*Charlie Loc: HAHA, GREETINGS ADORING PUBLIC...JUNG LOC HAS ARRIVED!! No flash photography please, fine women AND THEN children first for autographs.*The group of kids and the End look dazed by Charlie's outlandish behavior, End finally breaking the monotony and saying* End: What the hell is wrong with you Charlie?Charlie Loc: What....what is that I hear....it's the sound of...A LOSER!! Ah yes, IT'S THE END. The man I defeated for this shiny little trinket over my shoulder. And by the way, it's JUNG Loc now...my agent said using my traditional name would land me more movie rolesEnd: Since when did YOU become some major deal here in Japan...*Jung Loc fixes his tie, stepping away from the limo and joining End and the group of kids as he continues to uphold his snobbish attitude*Jung Loc: Since winning THIS...*points to the PURE Jr.Heavyweight title*...loser. Haven't you heard...I'M a STAAAAAAAAR, End...and it's only right that a star makes his big arrival here at the FIRST Ikusa. I mean, this show is gonna need a ratings boost anyways*One of the kids tugs at Jung Loc's suit and asks*Kid 2: Mr.Loc...can I have your autograph?Jung Loc: SURE YOU CAN LITTLE BOY....*Reaching into his pocket, Jung Loc pulls out a stamp and takes the piece of paper from the kid's hand. He then smacks it against the paper, the stamp reading ,"Jung Loc". He then hands it back to the young boy, looking as if he was cheated in the process as Loc primps himself*Jung Loc: Ahh my adoring fans. Anyways...I have people to mingle with End...you keep trying to win a match or something. I'm sure you and I will meet again...and you'll lose as always.End: I'm sure Loc...just remember...your ego may fit an IMAX screen...but your talent can't even fill a matinee.Jung Loc: Enough of you...I have better things to do...*Jung throws his chin in the air, walking away from the the "normal people" as he heads into the arena. End continues to stare him down, but before he can get a word out, the kids say*Kid 1: PrickKid 2: JerkKid 3: Bi**hEnd: Your mouths may be dirty...but at least your good judges of character…I’ll see him again*The kids stick close to the End, all of them heading within the arena as we go back to the ring*(PURE:Ikusa is brought to you by ChinPokeDigiYugioDragonMonMon....as long as it's little, cute, and annoying, little kids will buy it)*We return to Ikusa where we find Siena holding his head as he traverses the backstage hallway, looking distraught about the lose he just suffered. As he continues down the hall, he is soon met by the lovely Melina Gotabody, smiling as she stands in the middle of four burly men in "security" shirt. The sexy Latina plays with her lone strand of blue hair and smiles saying to Siena*Melina: I hope you were paying attention to the match stipulations little one...Siena: This is messed up...THIS ISN'T FAIR!! You know good and well this sh** ain't right!! I don't deserve this!*Melina just snickers, looking to him and fixing her dress before coldly replying to him as he stands infuriated at being fired unfairly due to outside interference and losing the match*Melina: Well...you may not deserve it, and it may not be fair...but who ever said life was sweetie? Now gentleman, get him the hell out of our building....we don't let "fans" just roam around here.*Siena stares at Melina, fire in his young eyes as he is snatched up by his arms, being led forcefully out of the building as the fans boo this display from the arena.*Siena: I'M NOT DONE...FAR FROM IT!!Melina: Heh...I love crushing lives in the evening..*With that, Melina turns and walks back down the hall....the destruction of a young career meaning nothing to her as we return to the ring*Mat: The evil ones are ALWAYS the animals in the sackHitomi: Well back ladies and gentleman and now we're about to get into an Ultimate Juniorweight Tourney match, this match pitting FSW's Tim Walden vs. DWO's Gina Muniz.Mat: Hitomi, how do you say "NIPPAGE~!" in Japanese?Byron: *sigh*Hitomi: Let's go to the ring...*The sound system is overcome by heavy rock guitar as "Feel Good" by Kittie and System of a Down play throughout the arena. The PURE fans give a warm reception to DWO's Gina Muniz as she make her way out the entryway, pointing out to the fans on each side as she looks incredibly excited to be apart of the tourney. Her stride is filled with energy as she slaps hands on the way down to the ring, sliding in and standing atop the second rope, yelling out to the fans as she is announced*Ring Announcer: INTRODUCING, FROM THE PTC'S DWO....WEIGHING IN AT 165 POUNDS....GINAAAAAAAAAA MUNIZ!!!!*The fans cheer just a little louder as Gina smiles out to the crowd, fixing her elbow pad as she stands in a corner.*Mat: BY...DON'T GO BLANK NOW...it's just a girlByron: SHUT UP MAT! I know how to act around a girl..Hitomi: Where's Mori and Kobentai when you need them...Mat: Hey, I get paid for mocking this guy...what else could be better?*Their bickering is cut short as "Right Now" by SR-71 blasts throughout the arena, the crowd also being warm with their reception to FSW's Tim Walden, slowly walking out the entryway with a mic in hand. He stands, looking out to the crowd as they roar with a generous pop for him, Walden making his walk down the aisle and slapping a few hands along the way*Ring Announcer: AND HER OPPONENT...FROM FIVE-STAR-WRESTLING....WEIGHTING IN AT POUNDS....TIM WALDEN!!!!*Tim slides in the ring, signaling to he sound man to stop his music as it is abruptly cut. He then looks to Gina, raising the mic to his lips as she stands receptively, awaiting what it is he has to say. The fans rile down as Tim says*Walden: Gina...I would just like to say that it is a pleasure to be facing a woman of your talents in this tourney and may the best man OR WOMAN win.Mat: Someone's trying to get laid after the showHitomi: If you hadn't noticed, he was being quite the gentlemanMat: Trust me...gentle to your face....rough between the sheetsByron: Show some class Mat*Gina smiles, shaking Tim's hand as they both head back to their opposite corners ready to battle. The ring announcer makes his exit and the bell rings, the referee awaiting the two to lock up. They begin to encricle each other strategically before finally locking up when suddenly...*Sound System: STAY OUT MY BUISNESS, MY BUISNESS, MY BIZ-NAAAAAAAAS!!*The crude voice of Ludakris booms over the sound system with "Roll Out", the fans booing accordingly as thye are soon graced by the prescence of the cocky 20% owner of PURE, Jamar Wilson. He fixes his tie, holding mic in hand and looking at the two confused combatants in the ring. Jamar simply snickers, fixing his glasses before addressing the two in the ring. Before he is able to say his piece however, the puro hungry fans boo the violator of their brand of wrestling with hearty boos. He just shakes his head in disdain of the fans, waiting for them to settle down before speaking his piece*Jamar: Hello hello again, might I say....I was watching from the good ol' Skybox up there and I must say, I was SEVERLY unimpressed by this match we have booked here. Walden vs. Muniz...a normal bland singles match? Pffft, does it look like these fans wanna see that?Fans: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!Jamar: Well....it's not like you guys know what you want anyways, that' why it's MY job to create quality programming for you all!*The fans boo Jamar's knock on their will to think for themselves. He clears his throat, finishing his address*Jamar: With that thought in mind...it's time to do what I do best....ENTERTAIN...and what better way to entertain the fans tonight then an ULTIMATE JUNIORHEAVYWEIGHT.....BRA & PANTIES TOURNEY MATCH!!*Gina Muniz stands upset within the ring, pointing at Mr.Wilson and yelling at him inaudibly, Tim Walden also looking upset at the crass nature of the proposed match. The puro tuned fans populaing the arena also boo this proposal, wishing for a more sophisticated style of match and not just eye candy.*Mat: JAMAR IS MY HERO!!!Hitomi: I can't believe this...Byron: How can he sleep at night?Mat: You see that woman he walks down with...I bet he NEVER sleeps. But enough about that...GO TIM GO, I WANNA SEE NIPPAGE~!!!!Hitomi: *sigh**Jamar stands, awaiting the two to carry out his match stipulation when suddenly, the face of Sean Williams can be seen overcoming PURE-Vision, his vocie startling the crooked part owner as he spins around and looks up at the towering image of the righteous owner before him as he says*Sean Williams: Jamar...I'm not going to let you wreck this brand of entertainment. All your trying to do is pollute what puro stands for with your brand of gratuitous violence and eye candy....well it's not only my job to give the fans what they want to see...but also to stop you from going off the handle. With that in mind, I was reviewing contracts and saw that your slu....I mean secretary dosen't have her work visa yet. Now unless you wanna see here thrown out of this building and FIRED from PURE for working overseas illegally...you better let those two in the ring wrestle a good CLEAN match...GOT IT?!*Jamar is seething with anger, the fans cheering insanely loud for Sean's counter play to foil Jamar's plans. Knowing he has been stopped, Jamar gives the order to the referee from afar to keep it a regualr match, prompting Jamar to leave with a look of utter anger upon his face as the bell is rung for the match to begin*Mat: DAMN THAT SEAN!! HOW CAN HE BE SO CRUEL!!?!?! THAT WAS MATCH OF THE YEAR MATERIAL MR.WILSON CREATED!!Hitomi: This isn't porno Mat, this is PURE, and puro is our buisness, get with it.Byron: Now lets look at this match! Walden and Muniz locking up!*Walden and Muniz lock up, Walden using his might to overpower the daintier and smaller Gina as he goes around and locks on a hammerlock, wrenching up on it as Gina holds her shoulder in pain. Thinking quick on her feet, Gina wraps her free arm around the neck of Walden and leaps up high, falling back down and rolling on her knees as she snapmares Walden off of her. Walden springs back up and rushes at her but is shortly met by a leaping dropkick from Muniz. Walden pops up again and is met with another dropkick from Gina as she starts to build momentum earlyon in the match. Trying again for another, Walden grabs her by the legs and slams her down on her back, hooking her legs and flipping over her for a bridging pin as the referee rushes over to count*Hitomi: 1...NO! Gina kicking out with authorityMat: I never thought I'd say this...Walden is on top of a girl! Maybe there's hope for By over here yet...Byron: HEEEEY!!*Gina wraps her arms around Walden's waist, using her might to power him back up to a vertical base as she holds on. Upon getting him there, she twists her body so her arms are hooked within his and she executes a backslide, the referee jumping down again to count*Byron: 1..ANOTHER KICKOUT!Hitomi: They seem to be trying to win early here.*Gina stands up, only to get met by a CRUSHING lariat from Walden that sends her crumpling to the floor. Walden follows with two short elbows to her chest as he takes her by the hair and stands her up, whipping her into the ropes. On the return, Gina leaps at Walden with her legs open, Walden catching her in a wheelbarrow position as he powers her up, only for Gina to throw her legs out and grab ahold of his head, DRIVING his face down in the mat with a bulldog. The fans cheer loudly for the technical catch as catch can display, Gina locking on a front headlock to wear down Walden*Hitomi: Gina Muniz showing a little girl power here, she could be a threat in this tourneyByron: Impressive is not even the word for her showing so far..Mat: She's got a nice rack too....Byron & Hitomi: .......Mat: What?*Gina tries to sinch in her headlock tighter, Walden once again using his strength advantage to get himself standing again. He then grabs Gina about her legs, hoists her up, and hits an inverted atomic drop and following directly after with a swinging neckbreaker, Gina rolling about in pain on the mat. Walden gives her no chance to rest, taking her to the corner and standing her up. He moves her arms from her chest and looks out to the fans, holding his hand open to signal for some chops, the fans responding with loud cheers*Mat: UNFAIR ADVANTAGE...HER BREASTESSESS CUSHION THE BLOWS!!*Tim takes it to her like a man, pelting her chest with chop after stinging chop as the fans shout in unison*Fans: WOOO!! WOOO!!! WOOO!!!*Finishing his assault, Walden pummels her in the corner with a few right hands before picking her up and sitting her on the turnbuckle. He mounts the first rope, climbing up to meet her when suddenly, Gina gives him a hard slap to the chest, sounding off through Ikusa Hall as he falls back down to the mat on his feet. She quickly locks his head in a front chancery and leaps off, spinning in air as she looks to land a tornado DDT....*Hitomi: TORNADO DDT?!*Suddenly, Walden locks his arms about her waist in mid move and sets her on her feet, before lifting her up again and PLANTING her with a Northern Lights suplex as he holds for the bridge*Byron: 1...2...NO!Mat: Damn...that's a good way to get a broad on her backByron: You ca nbe such a pig MatMat: Hey, this pig gets laid.*The fans gasp, amazed the match didn't end with that as Walden relentlessly keeps on Gina, dropping a few short knees on her back to wear her down. He then lifts her up, sinching her up in a suplex set up and grabbing a hold of the edges of her tights. After a short pause, he powers her up seemingly quite easy and holds her up for a few loose seconds before sending her tumbling down to the mat, Gina holding her back in pain as she rolls towards the ropes.*Mat: STAY ON HER WALDEN!Hitomi: Something tells me your enjoying this waaaay too much MatMat: Can ya tell?*Grabbing her ankle, Walden drags her back to the center of the ring before taking her legs and clamping onto it tight with a Japanese single leg crab, pulling back extremely hard on her leg as Gina screams in agony, the referee asking her for a plea of submission. Gina refuses to give in nonetheless, which only makes Walden put more pressure on her leg as she falls to the mat screaming in pain. Feeling the damage has been done, Walden releases the leg bar and follows with a series of knees to her leg.*Byron: Walden going for a strategic strike on her leg, quite smart.Hitomi: He's taking a more grounded approach to this match then most expected Mat: Oh I'd ground her too....mmm...look at that leg extension, and you know what that means...Byron & Hitomi: *double sigh**The fans start to rile up behind Gina, Walden clamping on a reverse anklelock as her face construes in the utmost pain, trying to fight the urge to submit. The PURE fans begin to show more support, clapping in unison and stomping their feet until the Ikusa Hall comes alive with energy for Gina Muniz, the young lady fighting to one foot as Walden has the hold still on her horizantally. She works up some strength and leaps up, catching the back of Walden's head with an enziguri as he falls to his knees, breaking the hold. Gina is sill feeding off the adrenaline, bouncing off the ropes and following with a dropkick to Walden's face for good measure.*Hitomi: Great series if moves to get Gina back in the match, but she still seems to be favoring that legMat: All the ladies favor their leg after a night with MatHitomi: Did you go to the Jerry Lawler school of commentating or something Mat?Mat: I got a 93 in "Puppy-ology"*Gina slowly makes her way over to the corner, mounting it carefully as she still favors her leg, her face in slight winces of pain until she if finally mounted and awaiting Walden to arise. Upon getting to his feet, Gina leaps off the top with her legs outstretched for a hurracanranna, her legs wrapping around the neck of Walden as she tries to use her remaining momentum to fall bck and complete the move...but Tim keep a strong lock on her as she tries to fall back, powering her back up until she is at his mercy for a powerbomb.*Byron: This could get ugly...Mat: It got ugly when I heard you were at the announce table..*Before Walden can drive her down for the powerbomb, Gina spins over on his shoulders and drops down his back, hooking hsi waist for a sunset flip as the referee drops down for a count, the fans impressed with her scintillating counter*Hitomi: ONE...TWO...NO!!Mat: Oh man I woulda stayed down...I bet she's a real freak...Hitomi: I wonder if FSW is hiring*Walden kicks out with authority, catching Gina as she stands up with a single-leg pancake to the mat. After splattering her to mat with his move, he flips her over and raises his arm to signal for this trademark "Walden-Sault", the FSW star beginning his climb up the top rope with his back turned to Gina*Byron: IT'S TIME FOR THE WORLD FAMOUS WALDEN-SAULT!!!Mat & Hitomi: .....Byron: Okay okay...so maybe I'm the only one who marks for it*With Walden mounted on top, he stands tall before leaping off with a picture perfect backflip, the hang-time amazing....but the landing nothing short of disastrous as Gina rolls out of harms way, leaving Walden to smash against the mat by his own hand*Mat: That right there is the reason why the Walden-sault is not world famousByron: Rub it in MatHitomi: It could be anyone's match right now!*The fans begin their mighty roar for the two downed combatants again, clapping and stomping intensely as the two begin to power themselves up as best as they can, never letting their opponent out of their sight. Gina falls back against her corner catching breath as Walden tries to take advantage, rushing at her for the attack. Gina slides to the side, Walden crashing into the turnbuckle as Gina puts him in a headlock. She then springs off the middle rope and drives Walden's face down with a springboard bulldog, Walden popping off the mat and holding his face in pain as Gina catches more of her breath, pulling herself up with the ropes, the will to win pushing her further.*Hitomi: To think this is only a first round match!*Gina limps over to Walden, tagging him repeatedly with right hands until she backs him into the ropes. She then Irish whips him across the ring, Gina getting in the middle and bending over for a back body drop....but those plans change as Walden sinches her by the waist, powers her up with a gutwrench, and stiffly powerbombs her down to the mat, Gina laid out with arms outstretched after that high impact move. Tim is catching his breath, throwing three fingers in the air believing the match is won*Byron: It has to be over after a crushing move like that...Hitomi: She gave a valiant effort nonethelessMat: She's always got me if she needs someone to make her feel betterByron: Or knock her up...Mat: HEY, I PAY ALL MY CHILD SUPPORT...all five of my baby's mother's don't ever complain!*Walden slowly strides over to a laid out Gina, laying his back over her and hooking a leg as he throws his hand in the air and counts along with the referee*Hitomi: 1...2...WAIT WAIT WAIT!!*Suddenly, Gina hooks the arms of Tim Walden, rolling him over on his shoulders and holding tight with all her might, her opponent kicking and screamign to break free as the ref and the fans count in unison*Hitomi: 1....2...3!!!!! GINA DID IT!! GINA MUNIZ HAS ADVANCED IN THE ULTIMATE JUNIOR TOURNEY!!Mat: HE LOST TO A GIRL!! GOD I WISH I WAS HIM!! Do you realize how much he'd pay for that anywhere else?!Byron: Only in Mat's world...*"Feel Good" by Kittie blares as Gina pulls herself up and stands against a corner, the fans showing their appreciation for her victory with roars of approval, Tim looking distraught about his loss. Yet even in defeat, a sweaty Walden comes up off the mat and holds his hand out to the lovely Gina Muniz. She smiles, taking his hand in hers and shaking it as the crowd comes alive for the sportsmanship and hard work put on display for them*Hitomi: Now that's quality puroMat: I still think he's trying to get laid...Byron: And when we return….IT’S TIME FOR THE MAIN EVENT, THE END VS. INPHINO BLITZ!! STAY TUNED!!(PURE:Ikusa is brought to you by Mat Waters…even if this show goes down the drain, it’ll be worth watching just to see who he disses or what nasty comment he makes)**We return from commercial where we find Sean Williams in the backstage hallway, watching Ikusa on a monitor and not exactly looking too pleased with what he sees as he stirs up some cream in his plastic cup off coffee. His day gets much worse when he is met shortly by…Jamar Wilson. He smiles, standing face to face with the rival owner as the stand-off looks like a mirror image….one man black, the other white…one man too cocky for his own good, the other looking extremely serious**Jamar: Enjoying the show Sean?**Sean looks to Jamar, obviously pissed he would even come in his face and act friendly. Sean simply clears his throat and says**Sean: Jamar…you may have screwed up my vision for PURE’s return show….but I’ll be damned if you screw up PURE as a whole. You and I, we’ll never see eye to eye, that’s a given….but you will not destroy my dream. I’m warning you, screw up my main event, and there will be hell to pay.**Jamar smirks, looking Sean deep in the eye, this moment extremely tense as Jamar asks**Jamar: You threatening me?Sean: No…I’M PROMSING hell to pay if you screw my main event upJamar: Hehe…I’ve always enjoyed a challenge. I will say this…I’ll dub you my greatest victory ever when I rip this federation from your hands. Trust me Sean…YOU….WILL…LOSE. Mark my words. Because when I beat you, I’m taking EVERYTHING. Now enjoy the rest of the show…partner.**Jamar pats Sean’s shoulder before walking away, Sean brushing off his shoulder after Jamar leaves and his face further construing into one of disdain and anger. He takes a sip of his coffee, looking back to the monitor as the show goes back to the arena**Hitomi Asami: Welcome back to PURE for our main event on Ikusa 2.0Mat Waters: Yep. The new run of PURE, giving Byron Calver a chance to have the piss taken out of him on an entirely new stage.Byron Calver: Yeah. That is...HEY!Mat Waters: One day a picture of you is going to feature next to the word gullible in the dictionary.Hitomi Asami: Let’s just get on with the match shall we?**Prayer by Sad hits the speakers as the Ikusa Hall fills up with smoke. The introduction to Prayer ends and the smoke clears as Inphino Blitz walks out to a cheer from the crowd. He continues to walk down the aisle, cracking his joints from head downwards, before hopping onto the apron and up to the top rope, raising his arms and roaring to hype the already buoyant crowd. Blitz then drops into the corner and folds his arms, leaning back on the ropes.**Ring Announcer: This is our Main Event. Introducing first. Weighing 230 lbs. He comes from Sado Island, INPHINO BLITZ!!!**Blitz steps forward and bows his head as his name is called, before the packed Ikusa Hall crowd erupt into a chant of “Blitz!”**Hitomi Asami: This is a battle for pride and honor between two of PURE’s greatest ever competitors.Mat Waters: Or a chance for Byron to be able to sit and watch more men in tights prance around. Whichever way you look at it.Byron Calver: I prefer looking at it another way.Mat Waters: You mean you prefer them out of the tights? You sick man.Byron Calver: No...I mean...Ah stuff you.Mat Waters: No thank you. I’m strictly heterosexual. In fact, Hitomi...what are you doing after the show?Hitomi Asami: Trying to tell myself that you don’t really exist, and that this is only a nightmare.Byron Calver: Ha!Mat Waters: At least it’s an actual female declining me. If, in a few years I do drop to your level, I’ll start worrying when sheep refuse.Byron Calver: DAMN YOU!**Bombshell by Powerman 5000 hits the speakers as the crowd cheer for The End. The End walks to the ring, with little in the way of acknowledgement of the fans, and jumps up onto the apron. After springing onto the top rope, the End executes a perfect spinning backflip, and lands in the center of the ring to show his agility, and walks into his corner to stretch for the match.**Ring Announcer: And his opponent. Weighing in at 225 lbs, THE END!!!**The ring announcer slides out of the ring as the bell rings. Inphino claps his hands together and strides into the center of the ring. The End’s acute sense of hearing does him well, and he steps forward to meet him, both men shaking hands in the center of the ring before starting to circle each other.**Byron Calver: Good show of sportsmanship between the two competitors.Mat Waters: Don’t lie Byron. Last time you saw two men meet in a ring and shake hands was on the TV in your hotel room. I did warn you you’d pay double for the adult channels.Hitomi Asami: Can we please get back to the match?**A mumbled apology from Mat can be heard as The End and Inphino Blitz lock up in the center of the ring. The End takes the early advantage with a hammerlock, before bringing it out into a standing armbar. End continues the offence by applying a headlock on Blitz, following through and flipping him over to the mat, before holding the pressure. The crowd applauds politely as Blitz makes sure his shoulders aren’t touching the mat.**Hitomi Asami: Good technical opening to the match.Mat Waters: By all accounts, Byron has a good technical opening.Byron Calver: You are vile.Mat Waters: Guilty as charged.**Inphino manages to roll back to his feet, The End holding the headlock on for good measure. Blitz backs him into the ropes and pushes him off, taking him down with a shoulder block on the return. Blitz then runs the adjacent ropes, skipping over End as he dives down. End leaps back to his feet for the second return, and times it well to hit a backflip dropkick on the returning Blitz. The crowd again applauds the two competitors.**Hitomi Asami: The End with a perfect dropkick on Blitz. It just goes to show that people can work through disabilities.Mat Waters: PURE is a testament to that. We have The End who is blind, and Byron Calver, who is still working despite a mental handicap that has left him as dumb as a post.Byron Calver: I’m sure you were only employed to joke about me.Mat Waters: Finally! He understands the concept!**The End rolls back to his feet, and steps forward, bending to pick up Blitz, but receives a kick to the face for his troubles. Blitz kips back to his feet, and Irish whips The End off the ropes. On the return, Blitz ducks under The End’s clothesline attempt, and runs the ropes, before leaping into the air with a flying sidekick, crashing into The End’s chest.**Hitomi Asami: Enter The Dragon.Mat Waters: Don’t say that too loud. Byron will want to know who The Dragon is.Byron Calver: Knock it on the head Mat.Mat Waters: No thanks. I’ll leave that to you. You’ve had much more experience than I have.Hitomi Asami: Will you two stop arguing? I will knock your heads together.Mat Waters: Don’t do that! I’ll catch whatever he’s got!Hitomi Asami: I’m warning you.Mat Waters & Byron Calver: Yes ma’am.**Blitz is first back to his feet, and picks The End up, whipping him off the ropes again and dropping him with a powerslam. Blitz holds for the cover, but The End kicks out at one. Blitz leaps back to his feet, and helps The End up, but The End snaps him over with another headlock takedown. The End quickly locks in a headscissors on Blitz, who tries his best to fight the hold.**Hitomi Asami: The End is putting on a good show against Blitz.Byron Calver: The crowd is loving this!**The crowd applaud again as Blitz manages to fight the hold, and rolls his head through. Still locked in the move though, he raises back to his feet, and uses is body weight to flip over and out of the hold, landing in a pinning combination on The End. End breaks free, and applies a waistlock from underneath Blitz, and bridges upwards. Blitz shakes his arms free, and both men go for a backslide. Blitz gets the upper hand slowly, but as The End fights back, uses his unorthodox “Forbidden 999” manoeuvres and flips over The End, delivering both feet into his face.**Hitomi Asami: What agility by Blitz, breaking the backslide attempt with a Rainbow Knocker.Mat Waters: I had a girlfriend who once had Rainbow Knockers. But then I found out that it was actually a tattoo and not edible body paint.Byron Calver: You are sick.Mat Waters: Stop complimenting me.**Blitz grabs hold of The End’s legs, and rolls through into a cover. The End again bridges out, but instead of going for a backslide, spins Blitz around and grabs him for a DDT. Blitz counters and stands vertical, lifting The End off of the mat, but End uses the momentum to release the hold and land behind Blitz. The End then runs the ropes, and comes back into a tilt-a-whirl from Blitz. End holds on and spins around him in a headscissors, before popping out at one side, and delivering a falling DDT, to which the crowd erupt in applause.**Hitomi Asami: Deja Vu from The End! This match is back and forth.Mat Waters: Like Byron’s strokes.Byron Calver: I really am going to...Mat Waters: Whoa! I meant golf strokes man!Byron Calver: Oh. Good.Mat Waters: See Hitomi, what did I say about gullible?**The End kips back to his feet, and grabs hold of Blitz, lifting him to his feet, and in turn into a powerbomb position. End quickly delivers a powerbomb to Blitz, before lifting him again into a Fireman’s Carry. Holding him by the throat, End throws Blitz’s torso out behind him into a modified Samoan Neckbreaker, before rolling back through, still holding the throat, and into a reverse Boston Crab. The crowd applause with a small chant of End’s name ringing out through Ikusa Hall.**Hitomi Asami: The End chaining together to make the White Noise.Mat Waters: Byron makes White Noise. But only when he’s taking a big, black...Byron Calver: SHUT UP NOW! I will kick your ass if you don’t be quiet.Hitomi Asami: And I will kick both of your asses if you’re not careful. Sit there, shut up, and call the match.**Blitz grimaces against the pain as he shakes his head against the queries of him submitting. The End realises he’s not going to submit, and quickly shifts position to be standing on the back of Blitz’s knees. The End delivers a few shots to the kidneys, reaching forward for Inphino’s arms, and rolling into a Mexican surfboard. The End holds him for a few seconds, before rolling him again into the air. The End again holds him for a few seconds, and rolls down a second time, this time sitting out behind his opponent, legs still locked, and reaching for Blitz’s throat. The End manages to lock on a modified Cobra Clutch from the Mexican Stretch position, and wrenches back to elevate Blitz into the air again.**Hitomi Asami: Oh my lord! Mat Waters: Yes, m’lady?Hitomi Asami: Shut up. I was about to compliment The End on chaining the White Noise into Blackout.Byron Calver: Outstanding technical ability from The End.**Blitz again refuses to give up, so The End releases the hold. but stretches back to keep Blitz on his knees. The End then runs the ropes, and delivers a dropkick to the back of The Black Dragon Master. The End hooks the legs for a cover.**Byron Calver: One, Two...Mat Waters: Buckle my shoe.Hitomi Asami: Kick out on two by Inphino Blitz. This man is taking quite a beating here tonight.Mat Waters: Byron...Hitomi Asami: Don’t even think of completing that sentence.Mat Waters: But...Hitomi Asami: No buts.Mat Waters: No buts? How will Byron survive?**A slap can be heard at ringside followed by a cry of agony from Mat. The End gets back to his feet, and lifts Blitz up, backing him into a corner. The End whips Blitz into an opposite corner, following in with a clothesline. The End again sends Blitz into another corner, and follows in with a handspring back elbow, but Blitz ducks the actual elbow shot, and lifts The End up in a Belly-to-Back suplex position, and steps forward, slamming The End spine first onto the top turnbuckle.**Hitomi Asami: Great counter by Blitz there.*Crowd: PURORESU! PURORESU! PURORESU!*Byron Calver: What a show being put on for the crowd hear! This is a wrestlefest!Mat Waters: Unlike your usual weekends that are just men-fest’s?Hitomi Asami: If he is that way inclined, at least he is getting some activity Mat.Byron Calver: Hey! I mean...yeah! No...what?Mat Waters: That is pure evil. Pure, unadulterated evil! A lady should never make those comments.Hitomi Asami: Why not? You’ve been making them all night.**Mat obviously doesn’t get the joke as silence falls on the announce team. Blitz slowly rolls over, and hooks The End’s leg for a cover, but gets one before PURE’s only blind wrestler reaches the bottom rope. Blitz, still groggy, gets back to his feet, and tries to shake a few cobwebs loose as The End gets up. The End charges at Blitz, and attempts a clothesline, but Blitz ducks and spins quickly, kicking The End in his right knee, then again in his right side, and then to his face. Blitz quickly repeats the process on The End’s left side.**Hitomi Asami: Shadow Blitz in the making!**Blitz then alternates the shots, right leg, left leg. Right side, left side. Right side of head, left side of head. As The End staggers, Blitz nails a shot to his stomach, doubling End over, before kicking him up in his face. The End stands bolt upright, and clutches at his face, but gets caught with another kick to the stomach. Again End doubles over, but this time stands upright clutching is face for protection already as Blitz fakes a kick. Blitz, seeing this, quickly spins around himself, and nails a superb axe kick to the back of The End’s head, collapsing him to the mat. The Ikusa Hall crowd erupt into the biggest round of applause so far tonight.**Hitomi Asami: (Shouting over the crowd noise) SHADOW BLITZ! 16 Stunning kicks that have nearly knocked The End out cold!Byron Calver: That has to be the most painful combo I have ever seen!Mat Waters: I don’t know...did you ever eat at McDonalds?**Blitz staggers backwards, still feeling the effects of the match so far, before raising his hands to the crowds cheering, acknowledging the PURE faithful, before picking The End up. Blitz delivers a few more kicks to End’s side, staggering him, before running the ropes, on the return, Blitz leaps up with a spinning heel kick, but also locks his free leg behind The Ends kneecaps, and uses it to not only take him over with the kick, but to sweep his legs out from underneath him as well.**Hitomi Asami: Orochi Nagi! Blitz is taking things to another level!Mat Waters: Byron has done that...but it was to a whole new LOWER level.Byron Calver: At least I don’t drop to my knees at the first sign of trousers being unzipped.Mat Waters: No. You’re already on your knees offering before they’re unzipped.Byron Calver: Damn you!**Blitz applauds the crowd again as they cheer, before reaching down for The End again, lifting him into a front face lock, and hooking his inside leg. Blitz raises The End in the air, before falling forwards, still holding End, and driving the back of his head to the mat with an inverted Fisherman’s buster. Blitz releases the hold, and signals to the crowd, pointing to the top rope.**Hitomi Asami: KOTO ZUKI YOU! And now he’s going for My Angelic Suicide!Byron Calver: If Blitz hits this, The End will be defeated in the first Main Event since the re-opening!**Inphino Blitz walks to the corner, and leaps onto the top rope in one motion, before turning to face The End. Blitz presses both of his palms together in prayer, and closes his eyes, readying himself for the 360 degrees Swanton**Byron: IT’S OVER…IT’S OVER…IT’S WHAT THE HELL?!?!**Suddenly, none other than ALI KHADAFFI comes running out of the crowd, the volatile African-American loose cannon shoving Blitz off the top rope as he goes tumbling down to the mat. The fans boos overwhelm the arena as the bell is rung, the main event spoiled due to the surprise return of Ali**Mat: MR.WILSON’S SURPRISE IS HERE!!Hitomi: I CAN’T BELIEVE HE SIGNED HIM BACK!!**Ali begins pounding away on Blitz, pummeling him with right hands on the ground, this brutal assault on the PURE superstar in desperate need of being broken up. The End regains his bearings and tries to pull Ali off of Inphino, but Ali’s anger transfer’s to The End as he pummels him with stiff right hands before lifting him up by the legs and DRIVING him down to the mat with a spinebuster.**Byron: Why would Mr.Wilson bring this monster back to PURE…**The carnage continues, Ali sliding outside the ring and grabbing a hold of a loose steel chair before sliding back in, awaiting Blitz to rise up to his feet. Just like clockwork, Blitz makes it up…and he is brought back down with amazing quickness following a thunderous chair shot to the skull of Blitz, the bell ringing for the mayhem to stop. Ali then tosses the chair to the mat and locks Inphino’s head in the DDT set-up…lining him up over I before driving his head down on the chair, Blitz out cold as the fans boo angrily at Ali’s disdainful actions.**Hitomi: WHY WON’T HE STOP?! THIS HAS GOT TO END!!**Ali stands over Blitz, spitting on him angrily and raising his arms in the air as the fans can’t stop their booing of the returning Ali. The camera pans upward, as we find Mr.Wilson in his Skybox watching down below, clapping and brandishing a wide smile at what was just seen**Byron: Thing’s just got a lot more “entertaining”….which is Mr.Wilson for “f**ked up”Hitomi: This is just wrong…Mat: Man….he got F**KED UP!Hitomi: For Byron Calver and Mat Waters….Good night everyone and stay tuned for the next Ikusa!!**With Ali back, the main event ruined, and the sides of tradition vs. entertainment furthering establishing themselves the scene begins to fade with the “PURE 2002” logo displayed in the bottom corner, Ali talking more smack to the fallen Inphino as the show begins to fade to black…but not before it cuts to the back where we find an enraged Sean Williams, throwing his coffee to the ground and staring at the monitor with pure rage....his vision for PURE's return not being a grand and regal event....but an anarchy as the show fades to black** Classic PURE Vol. 1, #2: Matsumoto Stadium, in Nagano, Japan on Sunday the 28th of April Classic PURE Vol. 1, #2: Matsumoto Stadium, in Nagano, Japan on Sunday the 28th of April Testing Expo '70 Stadium, in Osaka, Japan on Sunday the 14th of April PURE v2.0 Ikusa 3 from Ikusa Hall at Osaka, Japan Gekito 3 from Ya-yoi Gym in Kawasaki, Japan Gekito 2 from Mitsurgi Recreational Center in Ahkibara, Japan Gekito 1 from Okata Gym in Osaka, Japan PURE v2.0 Ikusa 2 from Ikusa Hall in Osaka, Japan PURE v2.0 Ikusa 1 from Ikusa Hall in Osaka, Japan Sapporo Dome in Sapporo, Japan on Sunday the 16th of June Yamagata Park Stadium in Tendo, Japan on Sunday the 4th of June Komazawa Olympic Stadium, in Tokyo, Japan on Sunday the 19th of May Matsumoto Stadium, in Nagano, Japan on Sunday the 28th of April
Ikusa Hall lights up with a group of laser beams scanning the arena. Red, blue, and yellow pan the crowd, 3500 strong for the redebut of PURE. The usually polite and respectful Japanese fans have come alive, cheering madly. The camera pans the masses, slowly coming to rest on the announce position. Two new faces sit there, with PURE commentator Hitomi Asami in the center.
Hitomi Asami: Welcome to the rebirth of PURE!
Mat Waters: FORGET THE REBIRTH OF PURE! I WANT TO SEE BOOBS, DAMNIT!
Byron Calver: Look at yourself! I can't believe our new owner hired you!
Hitomi Asami: I'm Hitomi Asami, alongside Byron Calver and Mat Waters, our new PURE commentators....why oh why could Sean not resign Mori?
Byron Calver: I apologize for my fellow commentator's actions. I'm Byron Calver...
Mat Waters: And I'm Mat Waters, the only commentator here worth listening to!
"Walk with me my little child........to the forest of denial....."
Byron Calver: And here comes, presumably, our new owner!
"Forest" by System of a Down plays. As the band's music blasts over the PA system of Ikusa Hall, a man strides out from behind the curtain. He is of medium height, medium build, and brown hair. The Japanese crowd greets him with a touch of optimism, as he takes the microphone..
Sean Williams: Greetings to all. I am Sean Williams, the owner of Puroresu Ultimate Ring Entertainment. Emphasis on that first word, PURORESU. This promotion shall be puroresu. We will not have Ali Khadafi running around assaulting members of the NAACP. We will not have men disgracing the tradition established by great Japanese superstars such as Shohei Baba, Mitsuharu Misawa, Tiger Mask, Jushin Lyger...the list goes on and on.
The crowd politely applauds at the mention of the names, legends of puroresu.
Sean Williams: Tonight, The End will face Inphino Blitz in our main event...two outstanding juniors in the wrestling world today.....PURE will, once again, stand for WRESTLING! DIGNITY! HONOR!
"Boring!"
The owner's head snaps back towards the one word, emanating from the entryway.
Byron Calver: HONOR IS NOT BORING!
Mat Waters: Yes it is! Someone please come out here and cause violence!
After a few moments, "Shake Your Bon Bon" by Ricky Martin begins to play, as PURE's owner stands in the middle of his ring, eyes glaring daggers into the entryway, as a young woman emerges. Her dark, Latin complexion provides a stark contrast to the large amount of pale faces in the arena, as do her multiple piercings, which further clash with her business outfit.. Williams looks as if he has seen a flying rhinocerous..
Sean Williams: Ma'am.....what business do you have here? There is no rock concert here tonight, we're putting on a wrestling show.
Woman: Oh, I know......allow me to explain. You know how TokyoPop owns twenty percent of your company? Their owner is here tonight. I'm his secretary, Melina..ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to, the representative of TokyoPop......MR.......JAMAR.......WILSON!
"Saturdays" by Ludakris now hits the speakers, as a young, athletic black man emerges from the back, carrying a wheel on his shoulders. He places the wheel off to the side, and sends his secretary to the back with a quick pat on the backside.
Jamar Wilson: Miss Melina Gotabody, everyone!
Jamar smiles and shrugs cockily, not endearing himself to the crowd in the least..
Jamar Wilson: Anyway, Sean..it's time to clear things up from the start. You may own 80 percent of this company....but you, my friend, are going to give me as much power as I want...
Sean Williams: I know what TokyoPop does Jamar....if you honestly think I'm going to give you ANYTHING....
Jamar Wilson: Remember, I control the TV deal.....no power for me....means no power to those TV cameras you have rolling...meaning no revenue....meaning bye bye PURE!
Byron Calver: That bastard is holding us hostage!
Mat Waters: Good! Now maybe that idiot Sean can give in so Jamar can entertain us!
Byron Calver: I haven't been entertained at all yet...
Mat Waters: MY ASS YOU HAVEN'T! I saw you staring at Jamar's secretary!
Byron Calver: Yeah, she was quite charming......pretty too an-- WAIT A SECOND!
Waters is too busy laughing at his colleague. Hitomi looks ready to cry as Jamar continues.
Jamar Wilson: So, I've come up with some ideas to kick this show into high-gear! You see this wheel here? Well, I saw you've made this PURE Ultimate Junior Tournament, or something like that....anyway, who wants to watch little guys fight anyway? So, to make it more interesting, this tournament is now the PURE Ultimate Junior WHEEL OF SPINNING SORROW Tournament!
Byron Calver and Hitomi Asami: WHAT?!
Jamar Wilson: Before each match in this tournament, this wheel will be spun to determine what type of match it will be. We have lots of good ones up here!
The fans boo....realizing Jamar's intent with the flashy wheel gimmick.
Jamar Wilson: I'll be back out here soon to spin the wheel! Until then, have fun! Remember, the E in PURE is for ENTERTAINMENT!
Hitomi Asami: Our owner has been held hostage by this Jamar character! We'll be back, with whatever ends up happening!
(PURE:Ikusa has been brought to you by Microsoft Word....sweet sweet Word and making these cards easier to edit)
Byron: Welcome back ladies and gentleman, I've just receieved word that Ming vs. the Dark Poet has been changed to a CAGE match....
Hitomi: Jamar sure does like this "entertainment" stuff a little too much
Byron:But before the match let's go to earlier comments from Ming regarding his Juniorweight tourney match....
*The scene switches to footage with "earlier today" in the corner, where we find the lovely Hitomi Asami standing backstage with the Sexiest Chinese Man Alive, Ming. He stands tall, fixing his long braid of hair and rubbing his hands as he flashes his pearly white smile to the camera. Hitomi smiles before asking*
Hitomi: Tonight Ming, you will be facing a free agent within the PURE Ultimate Junior Tourney, The Dark Poet. Your thoughts on your match?
*Ming licks his lips, cockily looking to the camera as he addresses the fans, the usual Ming confidence exuding over the arena*
Ming: Hitomi...look at me...I'm happy. I mean, how good is it for a guy like me to be back home....in the East....with all these BEAUTIFUL...BEAUTIFUL ORIENTAL WOMEN!!
*The ladies filling Ikusa Hall let out a loud cheer for Ming, who pauses accordingly and nods his head.*
Ming: I've got the hometown advantage and the skills sweety, you think I'm gonna be losing tonight? Let's be honest, when you talk ULTIMATE JUNIOR, you have got to be talking Ming and I don't care what kind of match Jamar has set up or created for me to wrestle in...singles match....ladder match....hardcore match....FLAMING HOMOSEXUAL MIDGET ON A POLE MATCH, MING IS READY. So with that, I have a little "poetry" for The Dark Poet myself...
*Ming clears his throat, lookign to the camera as serious as possible, which seems quite hard for the FSW sensation as he says*
Ming: Dark Poet....you've got a match with the man they call Ming....Screw Brock Lesner, I'm already the "Big Thing"...And after I beat you, and advance in this tourney...I'm gonna celebrate by making some girls say....OH ME SO HORNY!!
*With that, Ming smiles and leaves the interview area, Hitomi holding back the urge to smile as the scene cuts, getting back to the ring. The packed Ikusa Hall desperately awaits the following cage match between “The Sexiest Chinese Man Alive” Ming, and “The Dark Poet” Rayve Leeuws. There are signs all over the arena for guys like Inphino Blitz, The End, and even the Gekito Cup winner Enmity. As the cage is being lowered, a tall, dark ring announcer enters the ring with a microphone in hand.*
Ring Announcer: Ladies and gentlemen. Are YOU ready for this first round match-up...between Ming and Rayve Leeuws?
*The crowds goes nuts because they know both competitors would do whatever it takes to make it past the first round of the Ultimate Jr. Tournament.*
Ring Announcer: Then without further adieu...let the battle commence!
*As the cage lowers onto the ring apron, the announcer exits through the door as the lights dim and spotlight falls upon the entrance. Making his way out first is FSW’s star Ming. He waves to the crowd as he makes his way down to ringside and gets a mixed reaction from the crowd. Next up, Rayve makes his way down and gets a little bit more boos then Ming did. Both take their respective corners waiting for the bell. The camera pans from the ring to the announcer’s table where Byron Calver, Mat Waters, and Hitomi Asami sit.*
Calver: This is going to be quite the match. *Looking to his side* As you can see, I am joined by Waters and Asami. The three of us have taken over Ikusa!
Waters: Yay!
Asami: Please you two. Try to keep your manners and honor this evening. We ARE on television remember.
Waters: *Waves to the camera*
Calver: Okay, okay. Time to get the match underway!
*The bell rings and the two combatants lock-up in the center of ring right off the bat! The camera pans back to the ring to catch Ming putting Rayve in a headlock.*
Calver: And there’s a headlock by Ming. Looks like he’s going to try and start this match off by wearing down his opponent.
Waters: What the hell is that!? A HEADLOCK!? He should’ve brought a steel chair into the ring and cracked Rayve’s skull! Or rake his face against the steel cage...or anything!
Calver: Just shakes his head*
*Rayve whips Ming into the ropes and attempts a clothesline but ‘The Mingster’ ducks it. Rayve flies off the opposing ropes and tries knock him down with a shoulder block but the two don’t budge one another.*
Calver: Looks like these two will have to try better tactics next time...
Waters: Bring in a freakin’ chair!
Asami: I’m embarrassed for the both of us...
*Rayve puts his hand up for a test of strength and it looks as if Ming is going to take part in it. But it will not be the case on this night. Ming kicks Rayve in the stomach and delivers a lightning quick DDT burying Rayve’s face into the canvas.*
Calver: WOW! That DDT came out of nowhere. This should start getting good fast!
Asami: Now you know...if those were traditional puro wrestlers in there; that would not have happened. That steel cage would not be around the ring either.
Waters: Pipe down Hitomi! That steel cage makes for great entertainment...
*Ming puts his boot and Rayve’s chest and walks right across him as if he were a speed bump. Rayve gasps for air as Ming mounts him and starts pummeling him with rights and lefts.*
Calver: Now it’s starting to pick up! Ming is going to take Rayve to a whole new level in this match. I couldn’t think of a better I’d like to see this happen then right here in PURE!
*Ming slaps the taste out of Rayve’s mouth and the crowd boos at the un-sportsmanlike conduct. Ming picks up Rayve and brings him over to the corner and starts chopping at his chest. With every pounding slice the crowd reacts with a “WHOOO” and it looks like Ming is soaking it all in. Chop after chop after chop. Ming steps away from the corner but then charges at Rayve with a shoulder block. Rayve jumps it and hooks his legs around Ming’s waist while rolling forward, bringing Ming over in a pinning combination.*
Asami: Did you see that!?
Calver: What a great move executed by Rayve Leeuws. I bet you don’t see action like that over in the West, huh Mat?
Waters: *Grumbles*
Asami: Too bad the only way to win this cage match is by climbing out or walking through the door...
*Rayve gets up still holding onto Ming’s legs and locks in a side leg lock. Rayve wrenches it in and Ming starts trying to escape...finally feeling the effects of the hold. Ming rolls over and kicks Rayve square in the jaw as Rayve goes down in a heap clenching his mouth.*
Calver: Ming is getting desperate here. He has to wear down Rayve if he ever wants to end this match with the Dragon Cutter.
*Ming gets up and drops an elbow into Rayve’s spine who WAS on his hands and knees trying to regain composure. Ming climbs the turnbuckle hoping Rayve is down long enough. And indeed he was. Ming leaps from the top rope and lands perfectly on Rayve’s back with a body splash.*
Waters: That one move could end the match right there. Perfect opportunity for Ming to bring in the...CHAIR!!
Asami: Give it a rest, Mat!
*Ming makes his way to one side of the ring and begins climbing the meshed steel. He makes it halfway up before Rayve gets to his feet and knowing where he his. Rayve runs to the corner nearest Ming and ascends to the top rope. Rayve jumps off and dropkicks Ming in the ribs sending him off of the cage and into the ropes. The crowd goes nuts as Ming’s neck snaps off the top rope and falls to the mat trying to catch a breath.*
Calver: Another move from Rayve that came at the perfect time!
Asami: I’m impressed...
Waters: Luck!
*Rayve drops a leg across Ming’s neck and the crowd pops again. Rayve picks Ming up and moves to Ming’s rear looking for a German suplex or something of the sort. He locks his arms around Ming’s waist but Ming catches Rayve with a low blow. Rayve falls to the canvas and Ming stands over him with a grin on his face.*
Calver: I wonder what Ming is going to attempt now. He looks to have Rayve right where he wants him...
*Ming picks up Rayve, grabs the back of his head, and sends him flying face-first into the cage. Needless to say it busted Rayve’s head open and put him in a world of hurt.*
Waters: Yes! That is the kind of merciless thinking you need to make it anywhere in these tournaments.
Asami: It was affective...
*Ming grabs Rayve by the hair and wipes his face against the steel opening the gash even more. Ming puts Rayve’s body up against the cage behind the ropes and Rayve looks to be out of it. Ming runs to the other side of the ring, bounces off the ropes, and sends himself feet first into Rayve’s gut like a torpedo. Rayve curls over in pain as his body his hunched over the middle rope. Still on the attack, Ming drops his body against Rayve’s neck with a leg drop of his own almost knocking out the combatant.*
Asami: I don’t think I can watch this kind of abuse! Ming should just finish this and allow Rayve to walk away.
Waters: You sissy! This is great!
Calver: I do have to agree with Mat on this one, Hitomi. This is the kind of action that sets the PURE stars apart from the jobbers.
*Rayve lies on the apron coming in and out of consciousness. Ming signals to the crowd and they go nuts. Ming picks Rayve up and puts him in a crucifix powerbomb hold. Ming hoists him in the air and brings him crashing down with a neck breaker sending the crowd into an even bigger frenzy.*
Calver: THE DRAGON CUTTER!! THE DRAGON CUTTER!!
Asami: I have never seen that move but I love it now!
Waters: FINISH HIM OFF!! COME ON!!
*Ming looks down at the broken opponent and just laughs him off. He walks over to the door and steps out onto the floor to end the match. The crowd seemed to be into it the whole time and went ecstatic when Ming applied The Dragon Cutter.*
Ring Announcer: The winner of this match...MIIIING!!
Byron: Incredible win for the FSW superstar
Mat: I wanna meet some of these "me so horny" girls he was talking about after the show!
*Looking down from above over the jampacked Ikusa Hall from the luxury Skybox high in the heavens of the arena, is none other than 20% owner Jamar Wilson, the man who endeared himself not to kindly to the fans before and seems to care less and less by the minute, if he even cared at all. Fixing his silk tie, he's on his baby blue Nokia cellular phone, still looking below at the fans with a cocky disdain as he continues on the phone while centering his glasses, his voice one of relaxed authority.*
Jamar: Yea....uh huh, yes I'm quite pleased. This is about easily the best investment I've ever made. I mean come on...give me two months, I'll be runnin' this joint. You just get ready to invest in some stock. Sean....that terd....he won't be a problem for long...I have it handled, you know me right?
* He takes a seat in his plush revolving chair, still cockily stroking his own inflated ego via the phone conversation.*
Jamar: This is all too easy...I'll have PURE the top wrestling company in Japan AND have that dipsh** out of power in no time. These Pokemon watching numbnuts won't know what hit em'. My suprise....oh yeah, he'll be here....just need some paperwork....I gave it to Melina...I should be expecting her... Melina: Someone said my name?
*Mr.Wilson's SkyBox door opens up, his eyes roaming over the lens of his glasses to the lovely Latina, Melina Gotabody, with a clipboard in hand standing in the entryway. That grin turns to a giddy smile as he takes in the site that is her, the silk buisness dress hugging her slender body quite nicely as she flashes a seductive grin towards her employer, obviously this relationship between them being more pleasure then business
Jamar: I'll call you back.
*Jamar presses a button on his phone, turning it off as he sits up in his chair and looks toward his lovely secratary as she asks him.* Melina: Has our surprise for President "Tradition" shown up yet?
*Mr.Wilson lets out a slight laugh at Melina's insult to his unwanted partner in power with PURE, leaning back in his chair as he lacksidasically answers*
Jamar: Not yet babe, but he won't be able to get in anyways if I don't have that contract for my little suprise. So....
*He strikes her a smile with a weird cocktail of lust, business, and cockiness all his own towards Kathleen, reciprocated with her own little grin as he finishes.*
Jamar: You got something for me?
Melina: You mean something along the lines of a contract that would spoil Mr.William's plans for "tradition" and "pure wrestling"? I think so.
Jamar: What would I do without you?
*Sliding back in his chair, he pats his lap while throwing an endearing smile to his lovely counterpart, calling her over with a slight gesture of his finger. Never one to say no to her "boss" Melina comes around his wooden desk and takes a seat...on his lap as suggest as she shows Jamar the contract in question, Melina playing with his tie as he reads it over *
Jamar: Sean thinks he's the only one with a few suprises for PURE....I'm gonna make sure he stays on his toes with me. It's only a matter of time before this whole company is MINE. But of course, one day at a time....so what do we do to pass the time?
Melina: Are you thinking what I'm thinking...
*Melina and Jamar smirk at each other, the two of them seemingly on the same note about something. Nearing their heads to each other the two say in unison in a low, evil tone*
Jamar & Melina: FIRE SOMEBODY
Melina: But who? I mean the choices are endless around here...
Jamar: Well...how about we make that little match between Christopher Kanox and Siena a "Pink Slip" match....I've been told people figth harder when they have something to lose....
*Melina feigns as gasp of concern, holding her hands to her mouth as if she were shocked and appaled as she says*
Melina: But that would mean...we'd be toying with the lives of two young and hungry superstars and ending one of their careers before it has a chance to begin....God I love how you think...
*With that, the fiendish couple seal their new addition to the Siena/Kanox match with a soft kiss, the scene fading*
(PURE:Ikusa is brought to you by "Cheap Fortune Cookie Messages"....someone's gotta write em')
Byron Calver: Well, our next match of the evening will feature six of PURE’s newest stars. The ruthless Fight Club will be taking on the team of Jason Arawn, Enmity and Deacon. Arawn, Enmity and Deacon are all call-ups from the Primetime Wrestling Academy while Fight Club seems to be from, well, they seem to have just come out of nowhere.
Mat Waters: Well, hopefully they get it over with quick. Nobody wants to waste time watching these six losers.
“Fight Music” hits the speakers as a mixed reaction flows through the Japanese crowd. The three members of Fight Club make there way out very focused and ignoring all other distractions. They roll into the ring and immediately go into the corner.
Hitomi Asami: These three shootists look like they are very focused tonight. This contest will be interesting because of the contrasting styles between the shoot fighters and their opponents, who are mostly Junior Heavyweights.
“Diluted” by Slipknot hits the speakers as the crowd gives a mild pop to the team of Arawn, Enmity and Deacon come out. The three lightweights roll into the ring and start psyching themselves up for the contest.
Byron Calver: Enmity looked pretty impressive in Gekito on Wednesday, hopefully he’ll be able to continue his success.
Hanza Kibigame: The following match is a Six-Man Tag Team match! Introducing first, to my left, weighing in at a combined 631lbs, the team of ENMITY, JASON ARAWN AND ANDREW DEACON CONNOR!!
A few cheer in the crowd for the trio, who bow to the ring announcer as a sign of respect. Arawn whispers something to Deacon that you have to assume is some sort of strategy.
Hanza Kibigame: …and their opponents, at a combined weight of 755lbs, Andrew MacLellan, Michael Hakiashu and Paul McMunson…THE FIGHT CLUB!!!!
The Fight Club simultaneously bows to the ring announcer as the crowd gives a really mixed reaction. Deacon looks to start things off and the Fight Club give Paul McMunson the nod to stay in the ring. The bell rings and the fighters start to stalk each other.
Byron Calver: McMunson is a former bareknuckle boxer, so it’ll be interesting how his style adapts in the ring.
Deacon and Paul lock up quickly, but neither man can gain an advantage. They break the grapple, but McMunson is surprised by a quick kick to the face from Deacon. Paul staggers backward, but quickly regains his composure. Deacon throws another kick, but McMunson ducks it backs off.
Byron Calver: Andrew Deacon Connor is looking impressive with those kicks. Did you know he’s a Federal Agent?
Mat Waters: Why would we need an FBI Agent? Do they even have jurisdiction here??
Byron Calver: I dunno, he apparently is on the look-out for the paranormal.
Deacon quickly shuffles back and forth on his feet and throws a kick to the mid-section. The Belfast native catches the kick however and plows through Deacon with an aggressive Leg-Trap Clothesline.
Mat Waters: Heh, how’s that for paranormal?
Deacon is quick to get up, though, but McMunson is ready. Paul lunges at him for another clothesline, but Deacon ducks it. As McMunson puts on the breaks, Deacon goes down and dropkicks the back of his knee, toppling the Irishman. On the outside Andrew and Michael have their eyes set on Enmity in the other corner.
Hitomi Asami: Ah, the Fight Club seems focused on Enmity. It was, after all, Enmity who spoiled them from having a successful debut on Gekito.
Inside the ring Deacon takes down McMunson with a Swinging Necbreaker. Almost as quickly as he hit it, he’s back up and climbing the top-rope. McMunson gets to his just in time to see Deacon come off the top with a picture-perfect Senton Bomb. However, McMunson catches him on the way down, folding him up with a Sit-Down Powerbomb.
Mat Waters: JEEZUS! You’ll only see that in PURE!
McMunson holds him in the same position for a pin. 1…2…Deacon kicks out just in time! McMunson leaves him lying crumpled and tags in his partner, Andrew. MacLellan enters quickly and drags Deacon up. He lifts him in a Fireman’s Carry and carries him to the corner, draping him on the top turnbuckle. Andrew climbs up after him, but is met with an elbow to the abdomen. Deacon then latches onto Andrew’s waist and twists off the turnbuckle with a Spinning Flapjack! Deacon crawls over and tags in Jason Arawn.
Byron Calver: I’ve heard good things about Arawn’s aerial prowess. Let’s see if he can capitalize.
Almost as if he heard PURE’s Resident Christian, Arawn springs to the top-rope. He checks out Andrew’s position and comes off the top with a Twisting Body Attack, landing with his back crushing the ribs of the Fight Club leader. Arawn gets back up quickly and looks down and Andrew, who groans. Instead of going for the pin, Arawn does a standing Shooting Star Press, right into pinning position. 1…2…KICK OUT!
Hitomi Asami: What agility!
Andrew rolls onto his stomach instinctively as Arawn gets to his feet. Jason picks Andrew up to his feet and wrenches his arm. While the Armwrench is in, Jason goes for a hook kick, but with his free hand, Andrew grabs the foot and throws it back, spinning Jason and making him break the hold. Arawn then charges at Andrew, but the shootist catches him with an overhead Belly-to-Belly, sending him across the ring. Andrew doesn’t even look back and just points at Enmity ferociously.
Byron Calver: Andrew seems focused on Enmity!
Mat Waters: Wouldn’t you be if the man that stole your Gekito Cup was standing right infront of you?
Byron Calver: He didn’t steal it! He won it fair and square!
Andrew turns to Arawn and drags him to his feet. Arawn counters with a kick to the midsecton and jumps onto Andrew’s shoulders. He leans back to throw him, but the veteran had it scouted. Andrew blocks the Hurricanrana and lifts Jason back into powerbomb position. Andrew spins three times, dizzying Jason, before finally slamming him full force into the mat. Instead of covering, however, Andrew encourages the fallen Arawn to drag himself to Enmity and tag him in.
Hitomi Asami: That is not the way to fight an opponent. Andrew is showing a weakness by letting a vendetta affect him in this match.
Instead of tagging out, Arawn uses the side ropes to climb to his feet. Andrew swears under his breath and makes his way over to Arawn. Arawn tries to defend himself, but Andrew stomps him in the midsection. Jason is leaning up against the ropes while Andrew continues stomping a mudhole in him. Then Andrew drags him back up on his feet, locks his waist and tosses him across the ring area. He then quickly stomps on the back of his head in anger.
Byron Calver: Wow, Andrew really is aggressive tonight. Actually, when isn’t he aggressive?
Andrew crouches, poised at Arawn, who is crawling toward Enmity. Arawn finally reaches his corner and a smirk fills Andrew’s face. However, Enmity hops from the apron, refusing to make the tag.
Mat Waters: What a pussy!
Byron Calver: It’s mind games Mat, he doesn’t want Andrew to get what he wants!
Enmity walks backwards, up the ramp and through the curtain as Andrew roars out in anger. Arawn is just as surprised as the crowd with Enmity’s retreat, but still tags Agent Deacon into the ring.
Hitomi Asami: Mind games or not, Enmity is leaving his two green partners in the ring with three seasoned veterans. I think it’s safe to say this match is degenerating into a cat and mouse game for the Fight Club.
Deacon rushes at Andrew and throws himself at him in a cross-body. Andrew, however, is still occupied yelling at the ramp, angered about Enmity’s retreat. Deacon’s cross-body floors him as the FBI Agent kip-ups to his feet, much to the delight of the fans. Deacon rolls himself into a leg-drop, right onto Andrew’s throat.
Mat Waters: C’mon Andrew, just get up and kill the punk.
Deacon nonchalantly bends over to pick up the downed Shooter. Andrew, however, quickly drives his shoulder into Deacon’s face, sending the federal agent stumbling back, holding his nose in pain. Andrew gets to his feet and looks at Deacon in disgust. He clutches Deacon by the throat and yells something inaudible right in his face. He then lifts him off the ground for a chokeslam.
Byron Calver: Andrew has gone off the deep end!
Instead of driving Deacon into the mat, however, Andrew uses his free hand to lifts the agent over his head in a press. Andrew walks over to his corner, easily balancing the lightweight over his head, and allows McMunson to tag himself in off of his back. Andrew and Paul turn to each other, both with sadistic grins on their faces…
Byron Calver: Oh God, I can’t watch…
Andrew drops Deacon out of the air, right into a well-timed Stunner by McMunson, sending Deacon into a quick jolt of convulsions and twitches. The crowd screams out in Japanese, but it’s obviously something along the lines of…
Mat Waters: HOLY SHIT!
Before exiting the ring, however, Andrew charges an elbow into Arawn, who is recovering on the apron, sending Jason crashing into the barricade. He cries out, holding his back, as Andrew nonchalantly exits the ring. McMunson mounts the crumpled mess that was Deacon and grins. The referee bends down to count, but Paul waves it off. Instead, he starts to drill Deacon with rights and lefts.
Byron Calver: This is uncalled for. The referee should stop the fight.
Deacon tries to defend his face, but the flurry is too much. The Bareknuckle Boxing Champion continues to drive fist after fist into Deacon’s face. The referee checks on Deacon, who is now unconscious, and rings the bell. McMunson immediately stops his attack and rises, leaving the cameras to focus on a crimson-masked Deacon.
Hitomi Asami: Humanely, the referee has stopped the bout and awarded the Fight Club the win.
“Fight Music” plays in the background as the three shooters have a quick huddle, congratulating each other. Hanza climbs into the ring with his microphone and points to the victors.
Hanza Kibigame: Our winners by, well, uh …technical knockout… the FIGHT CLUB!
A mixed reaction occurs for the team, mostly boos but a few scattered cheers, as the trio exits the ring lead by Andrew Maclellan.
(PURE:Ikusa is brought to you by Japanese Hospitals...cuase them three foo's are gonna need one after that ass-whoopin')
*Hitomi Asami and Byron Calver await the next match. Hitomi is astutely paying attention to the ring, where Hanza Kibagame stands prepared to call the ring announcing as soon as the wrestlers come into the ring. Byron is busily tacking away at his laptop.
Hitomi: It is time for the next match between two newcomers to PURE, but foreign wrestlers, but skilled enough to wrestle in PURE.
Byron: Yeah... DANGIT!
Hitomi: What?
Byron: Clyde just pinned me after a broomstick up the rectum!
After such a confusing statement, Hitomi looks around, but sees no one.
Hitomi: What are you talking about?
Byron: Dice Fighting. It’s still not as bad as Sean, he’s still jobbed to Brandi and Aimz’s Double Bouncing Breasts Attack.
A pause between the two...
Hitomi: Don’t talk anymore.
Byron: That’s alright, I’ll be busy here anyway.
Christopher Kanox walks out with no music.
Hitomi: Christopher Kanox is one of the international wrestlers that PURE hired during the restructuring. He is a very bare-bones style of wrestler who doesn’t even want any music played when he comes out. From the tapes I’ve seen of him, he puts emphasis on the effectiveness of the old techniques, rather than trying to develop an unnecessarily flashy wrestling style.
Byron: "Byron charges Sky and sticks his arm out for a clothesline..." YES! 19!
Hitomi: Keep it down!
Kanox gets to the ring and very plainly climbs up to the apron and steps through the ropes. He moves over to the red corner and does a few last-minute stretches before his match.
Hitomi: And here comes his opponent, Siena.
The 6’4", 235 lb. Siena walks out from the back with "Epiphany" by Staind playing on the TokyoPop-provided sound system.
Hitomi: Siena prides himself on being a very-skilled technical wrestler, but he says that he can fly when he has to. He’s also the larger man in this match, Kanox only looks to be about 5’9" and 195 lb. at my estimate.
Byron: Suicidal Dream?! Oh, thank goodness it only rolled a 3. "Byron counters into a DDT." WOO! 15! "Byron then stands up and laughs at Brandi."
Hitomi: Shh!
Siena rolls into the ring under the bottom rope and moves to the center of the ring to raise his arms for a response from the fans. Being an unknown foreigner, they don’t give much of a response either way.
Hitomi: At best, a lukewarm reaction to both men. That may change once the match starts. Now let us go to Hanza Kibagame for the ring announcement!
Hanza Kibagame stands in the middle of the ring with microphone in hand.
Hanza: Welcome, puroresu fans, to another wonderful PURE match! At the request of the wrestlers, I shall forego any emotionally charged introduction and simply introduce them so that they may begin the battle.
Hitomi: I think that’s the first time anyone in PURE has turned down a formal ring announcement. These two Gaijin must really want to wrestle and prove themselves.
Byron: "Clyde stabs Sky. Online Host says Clyde rolls 9." A scrape, ha! "Sky slaps away the plastic knife and jumpkicks Clyde in the face. Online Host says Sky rolls 16."
Back in the ring...
Hanza: So, in the red corner, Christopher Kanox! And in the blue corner, Siena!
Announcer Kibagame steps out of the ring and the bell rings. Both wrestlers charge into a lockup.
Hitomi: Eager collar-and-elbow tieup from the two Gaijin.
Byron: NO! Eliminated with a groin kick!
Hitomi: Two wrestlers are trying to make a name for themselves in PURE, and you’re being very disrespectful to them by carrying on an Internet chat.
Byron: It’s The Dice Fighting Championships!
Hitomi: I don’t care! Get off the computer or I’ll shove it down your throat!
Byron: Fine, fine. Don’t be so touchy.
Hitomi: I’m just serious about my work. Try it sometime.
Kanox spins into an arm wringer on Siena. He wrenches it in twice, then pulls Siena into a side headlock.
Hitomi: Christopher Kanox goes behind into a hammerlock, and is starting the match at a steady pace.
Byron: If he’s going to be doing this all match, he’ll be lucky to make Siena bat an eyelash at his offense.
Kanox moves back into a side headlock on Siena and takes him over with a headlock takedown. The referee counts the pin with Siena’s shoulders down on the mat.
1-2-Kickout.
Siena slips free of the headlock, rolling to his feet and charging Kanox. Kanox anticipated Siena’s move and falls back while locking his arm around Siena’s arm and shoulder.
Hitomi: Japanese Arm Drag!
The crowd warms up a bit to the move, but quickly quiets back down to the normal arena noise level. Kanox moves right into an armbar on Siena.
Byron: "Hits Brandi with a chair." 13? Aw...
Siena is able to snap his foot up to kick Kanox in the head. Kanox releases the armbar as he falls over.
Hitomi: Siena escapes the armbar.
Byron: "Byron locks in an armbar..."
Kanox rises ahead of Siena and takes him over with a hip toss. Siena gets back up and suffers a dropkick to the chest from the smaller Kanox.
Byron: *Yawns*
Hitomi: A simple, yet effective early offense has Kanox in control of the pace of the match. Siena seems to want to wrestle faster than his opponent will allow.
Kanox pulls Siena back to his feet and backs him to the ropes, whipping him away. Siena reverses the whip, and attempts to pull it back into a shortarm clothesline. Kanox ducks the arm and grabs Siena in a rear waistlock. Siena throws a back elbow, which Kanox blocks and answers with a forearm to the back of the head, which leaves Siena open for a what the Western wrestling lexicon would call a Victory Roll.
Hitomi: Jumping HH Pin!
Kanox catches the rising Siena in a Small Package Pin.
Kanox keeps up the offense by picking up Siena for a scoop slam and dropping an elbow across his chest. Siena rolls over to the ropes. Kanox follows him in and whips him away. Siena comes back into a drop toehold from the smaller man, and as he gets back up to all fours, Kanox pounces onto him, rolling him into a recliner pin.
Hitomi: Gedo Clutch! The fans recognize that move and give it a good response.
Siena is again surprised by the pinning predicament, but he has suffered little attack and safely kicks out at the count of two.
Hitomi: Siena rolls to the outside...
Byron: In American wrestling, a wrestler goes to the outside to regain his composure and catch his breath. Rethink a strategy if the current one isn’t working.
Hitomi: But he is acknowledging at the moment that Kanox is winning?
Byron: Yeah, sure.
Kanox waits patiently in the ring while Siena is on the outside. The referee starts the count to twenty.
Byron: Twenty?
Hitomi: In Japan, we don’t limit wrestlers to the ring with ten seconds on the outside. Though in this case, I would like for Siena to get back in the ring.
Siena rolls back into the ring. Kanox moves in with a kick at the midsection. Siena catches the kick, and as Kanox attempts a followup Enziguri, Siena ducks. Kanox falls to the mat, and Siena moves into an Elevated half-crab with his knee wedged into Kanox’s back.
Byron: There we go. A submission. Let this match be overwith so I can go back to my chat.
Hitomi: No, no...
Siena puts the move on too close to the ropes. Kanox grabs the bottom rope, and Siena must break his submission.
Hitomi: Siena shows his lack of experience in the ring, a veteran would have pulled his opponent away from the ring ropes before applying a submission.
As Kanox pulls himself up on the middle rope, Siena grabs both of his legs and pulls him up and away off the rope, slamming him down to the mat.
Byron: A face-first powerbomb off of the ropes. Siena might’ve planned that from since the submission, explaining why he didn’t pull Kanox away.
Hitomi: Perhaps. Good for him if he thought ahead to his next move.
Siena moves up to Kanox’s head and locks him in a full nelson, pulling him up off the mat.
Hitomi: Siena is strong enough to pull his opponent off the mat with that dead-lift.
Byron: To be a wrestler, it’s safe to be able to dead-lift at least 90% of your body weight. Obviously, more is even better.
Siena holds Kanox off of the mat in a full nelson. He jumps up and swings Kanox to the side while dropping his left arm; Kanox lands backfirst on the mat with Siena on his knees at his right side.
Byron: Sitdown Full Nelson Slam.
Hitomi: I think he would have gotten a better reaction form the crowd had he done a Dragon Suplex.
Leaving Kanox in the center of the ring, Siena sprints to the ropes and steps out to the apron. He grabs the top rope and leans his weight back before pulling himself forward in a jump. He springs onto the top rope, turning 180 on the first jump, and backflips off the rope with the second jump. This move finally elicits a pop from the crowd.
Hitomi: Double Jump Springboard Moonsault!
Siena lands the move perfectly, and he covers Kanox for the pin.
1... 2... KICKOUT!
Siena again leaves Kanox in position and runs off the ropes. He returns into a front rolling tumble, and jumps out of it with a leg drop. It gets less of a reaction than the moonsault, but a good reaction nonetheless.
Byron: Rolling Thunder Leg Drop
Hitomi: That’s just a tumbling leg drop.
Byron: But the American fans will want it called the Rolling Thunder Leg Drop.
Hitomi: We cater to Puroresu fans, not just American fans.
Siena pulls Kanox up to a seat and runs off the ropes behind him for a flipover neck whip.
Byron: I could do that.
Hitomi: Kidding aside, Siena is using more impact moves, whereas Kanox was mainly concerned with quick pins and outwrestling Siena on the mat.
Once again, Siena attempts the pin on Kanox.
1... 2... No!
Frustrated, Siena moves to Kanox’s legs and turns him around. He ties up Kanox’s legs with his own left ankle facing away, and drops back.
Hitomi: An Indian Deathlock on the smaller man.
Siena falls back, stands up, and falls back again. For added damage, he drops an elbow onto the back of Kanox’s head each time.
Byron: Which Indians? Ethnic Indians? Geographic Indians? Native Americans?
Hitomi: I don’t know, that’s what the move is called.
Byron: Sheep.
Byron: Oh, nothing.
Kanox taps the mat once or twice in succession, but does not give up. Siena changes things up by taking the Indian Deathlock into an inverted STF.
Hitomi: An inverted STF looks damaging, but the wrestler must have perfect balance to bridge the opponent up into the submission. Otherwise, it’s just reclining on the opponent.
Siena senses that he’s not doing as much damage as he could, and releases the submission in favor of a normal STF.
Byron: You’re magic.
Hitomi: Please don’t hit on me.
Byron: Okay.
Siena cinches the hold in deep. Kanox tries to move to the ropes, but he can’t.
Byron: Siena’s been working those high-risk moves into his technical submission offense beautifully. And this STF looks inescapable.
Kanox taps the mat once. Twice. His hands stay down and he pushes up, rolling over onto Siena for a pin within the submission!
1...
2...
No!
Siena had to release his submission to kick out. Kanox is very slow to get up, and gives Siena his opening to drop a knee onto the back of his opponent’s head.
Hitomi: Siena is going up to the top rope.
Siena stands on the top turnbuckle, with Kanox lying face down on the mat. He holds his arms out and leaps...
Byron: Swandive Headbutt!
Kanox, even with his face to the mat, has enough awareness and presence of mind to roll away. Siena drops face-first to the mat!
Hitomi: That high-risk maneuver definitely did not pay off!
Byron: "Byron attacks Clyde with a superkick from hell!"
Hitomi: PUT THE COMPUTER AWAY!
Byron: Yes, Mother. Geez...
Christopher Kanox slowly crawls, dragging himself with only his arms, back over to Siena and rolls him over. Putting all his strength into that, Kanox lazily drapes an arm across Siena’s chest and covers him for the pin.
1!
2!
3No!
Hitomi: Siena kicks out!
The crowd is finally into the match, even though there hasn’t been the usual back and forth action that they would prefer.
Byron: I’m thirsty. Can I get a Coke here?
Hitomi: Focus on the match!
Byron: Sheesh!
Siena gets to his feet first and pulls Kanox up to a knee, most likely preparing to hit his opponent in the face. Siena runs to the ropes in front of Kanox and bounces off for the return.
Hitomi: Siena runs into a rising back elbow from Christopher Kanox!
Kanox falls into an elbow drop on Siena, performing the move on the fly as his right leg gave out on him.
Byron: Siena did the damage, Kanox is having trouble standing on his right leg.
Kanox stands up and hops on his left leg while bringing Siena back up to his feet. Siena slaps away Kanox’s arms and scoops him up onto his shoulders, preparing for his set-up Emerald Fusion.
Hitomi: Siena is ready to end the match once and for all.
Kanox slips out behind Siena and grabs him around the waist, lifting him up but spinning him away for Blue Thunder Bomb. Siena spins with it and lands on his feet, kicking Kanox in the stomach. Siena picks up Kanox for a powerbomb; Kanox rolls back down to his feet and lifts Siena up and over with a back body drop.
Byron: That leg nearly gave out on Kanox, he’s limping even worse now.
Kanox pulls up Siena and takes him over with a vertical suplex, wearing down on his own right leg even more.
Hitomi: Kanox gives himself little injuries every time he lifts Siena on his right leg. How much more could it take before it buckles?
Kanox rolls through the vertical suplex and brings Siena back to his feet, this time lifting him straight up in the air, holding him for five seconds. Finally, Kanox’s leg just gives awy to the weight and he falls down, taking Siena into a sick spiking brainbuster that wasn’t exactly intentional.
Byron: Ouch! I felt that neck crumple under the weight.
Hitomi: Imagine how Siena feels. American wrestlers aren’t used to taking head-bumps like the Japanese.
Kanox is holding his leg in pain, but he requests that the referee not stop the match.
Hitomi: Admirable.
Kanox has enough presence of mind to roll over and pin Siena.
3NO!
Siena BARELY gets the shoulder up.
Hitomi: American wrestlers often do not show that kind of resilience. I am impressed.
Kanox rolls away to the corner and uses the ropes to pull himself up, though it takes him a while.
Byron: I wonder what the guys in the chat would say about this match.
Hitomi: NO.
Kanox limps over to Siena and pulls him up as best he can with only one leg to support himself on. Siena punches Kanox in the stomach, and dropkicks him in his right knee. Kanox collapses.
Hitomi: Kanox could have lasting damage on his right leg if this match goes on much longer.
Siena pulls Kanox over to the corner.
Byron: Split-legged Moonsault!
The crowd pops, and the pin is made.
1! 2! 3No!
Byron: Kanox kicks out!
Hitomi: This is the kind of show the PURE fans want to see out of Western wrestlers.
Siena sits Kanox up on the top rope facing away from the ring. He follows up, and jumps onto Kanox’s shoulders, falling back.
Byron: Super Reverse Frankensteiner!
Hitomi: Kanox held onto the ropes!
Siena lands headfirst on the mat. Kanox stands up on the top turnbuckle facing the ring, standing on his left leg.
Hitomi: High-risk move!
Kanox jumps off the turnbuckle and lands on Siena with a 360 Senton Backsplash!
Byron: Incredible move by the one-legged bandit!
Kanox stays on Siena, too tired to readjust himself for a proper pin.
1! 2! 3!
THE WINNER: CHRISTOPHER KANOX!
Referee Taki Kuonji raises Kanox's hand and helps him up. Siena soon gets up, and leaves the ring.
Hitomi: Siena was nodding his head...
Byron: I recognize that. In America, that's usually the way that wrestlers show respect for the skills of the opponent.
Christopher holds himself up in the corner with his right hand while standing on his left leg. He raises his other arm to the crowd, and they cheer, having warmed to him.
Hitomi: I think this incarnation of PURE will be even better than the first when you have matches like that.
Byron: Agreed. Can I go back to the chat now?
Hitomi: *Heavy sigh* Whatever, just get off before the next match.
Kanox leaves the corner. SUPERKICK! The crowd boos.
Byron: What, what happened?
Hitomi: Enmity just attacked Christopher Kanox! Why?
Byron: I'd bet "Mr. SE" Jamar Wilson might know the answer to that...
Enmity pulls Christopher Kanox to the ringpost and steps to the outside.
Hitomi: A figure-four leglock around the ringpost?
Byron: A guaranteed-injury move we like to use in America.
Hitomi: I can't watch this!
The fans boo so loud to drown out Christopher Kanox screams of pain from being locked in the submission. Referee Taki Kuoji and Hanza Kibagame are trying to get Enmity to release the hold.
Hitomi: Enmity is spitting on the tradition of puroresu!
Byron: He's been infected by the virus of Sports Entertainment. Only in that format would anything like this happen.
Enmity drops the submission and shoves away the ref and announcer. Kanox pulls his leg back.
Hitomi: Ugh...
Byron: That's just sick!
Kanox's knee is snapped, and his leg is bent in the opposite direction.
Hitomi: Cut away! Do anything, go to those ridiculous commercials. GET THIS OFF CAMERA!
*We cut outside Ikusa Hall, the night sky blanketing over the jam-packed arena as we find one of PURE's major superstars, The End, standing outside proudly signing autographs for a group of young children. He fixes his mask as he continues his signing's, the kid's faces glowing proudly as his signature graces their pieces of paper.*
Kid 1: Thanks End...your so cool
End: No problem kid...
*The innocent moment though is shortly broken as a white stretch limo comes pulling up in front of the arena, running over a water puddle in the streets which splashes over the group of three kids and The End, not exactly pleasing any of them as they turn to the limo. Shortly, the door opens, and emerging from within it is none other than.....*
End: Charlie Loc...
*None other than PURE's current Jr.Heavyweight champion emerges from out of the limo, brandishing the belt proudly over his shoulder as his black and silver locks of hair flow in the wind. He seems dressed quite emaculately, decked out in a fine suit and holding his nose in air as if he were a movie star, looking out to the sky and saying*
Charlie Loc: HAHA, GREETINGS ADORING PUBLIC...JUNG LOC HAS ARRIVED!! No flash photography please, fine women AND THEN children first for autographs.
*The group of kids and the End look dazed by Charlie's outlandish behavior, End finally breaking the monotony and saying* End: What the hell is wrong with you Charlie?
Charlie Loc: What....what is that I hear....it's the sound of...A LOSER!! Ah yes, IT'S THE END. The man I defeated for this shiny little trinket over my shoulder. And by the way, it's JUNG Loc now...my agent said using my traditional name would land me more movie roles
End: Since when did YOU become some major deal here in Japan...
*Jung Loc fixes his tie, stepping away from the limo and joining End and the group of kids as he continues to uphold his snobbish attitude*
Jung Loc: Since winning THIS...*points to the PURE Jr.Heavyweight title*...loser. Haven't you heard...I'M a STAAAAAAAAR, End...and it's only right that a star makes his big arrival here at the FIRST Ikusa. I mean, this show is gonna need a ratings boost anyways
*One of the kids tugs at Jung Loc's suit and asks*
Kid 2: Mr.Loc...can I have your autograph?
Jung Loc: SURE YOU CAN LITTLE BOY....
*Reaching into his pocket, Jung Loc pulls out a stamp and takes the piece of paper from the kid's hand. He then smacks it against the paper, the stamp reading ,"Jung Loc". He then hands it back to the young boy, looking as if he was cheated in the process as Loc primps himself*
Jung Loc: Ahh my adoring fans. Anyways...I have people to mingle with End...you keep trying to win a match or something. I'm sure you and I will meet again...and you'll lose as always.
End: I'm sure Loc...just remember...your ego may fit an IMAX screen...but your talent can't even fill a matinee.
Jung Loc: Enough of you...I have better things to do...
*Jung throws his chin in the air, walking away from the the "normal people" as he heads into the arena. End continues to stare him down, but before he can get a word out, the kids say*
Kid 1: Prick
Kid 2: Jerk
Kid 3: Bi**h
End: Your mouths may be dirty...but at least your good judges of character…I’ll see him again
*The kids stick close to the End, all of them heading within the arena as we go back to the ring*
(PURE:Ikusa is brought to you by ChinPokeDigiYugioDragonMonMon....as long as it's little, cute, and annoying, little kids will buy it)
*We return to Ikusa where we find Siena holding his head as he traverses the backstage hallway, looking distraught about the lose he just suffered. As he continues down the hall, he is soon met by the lovely Melina Gotabody, smiling as she stands in the middle of four burly men in "security" shirt. The sexy Latina plays with her lone strand of blue hair and smiles saying to Siena*
Melina: I hope you were paying attention to the match stipulations little one...
Siena: This is messed up...THIS ISN'T FAIR!! You know good and well this sh** ain't right!! I don't deserve this!
*Melina just snickers, looking to him and fixing her dress before coldly replying to him as he stands infuriated at being fired unfairly due to outside interference and losing the match*
Melina: Well...you may not deserve it, and it may not be fair...but who ever said life was sweetie? Now gentleman, get him the hell out of our building....we don't let "fans" just roam around here.
*Siena stares at Melina, fire in his young eyes as he is snatched up by his arms, being led forcefully out of the building as the fans boo this display from the arena.*
Siena: I'M NOT DONE...FAR FROM IT!!
Melina: Heh...I love crushing lives in the evening..
*With that, Melina turns and walks back down the hall....the destruction of a young career meaning nothing to her as we return to the ring*
Mat: The evil ones are ALWAYS the animals in the sack
Hitomi: Well back ladies and gentleman and now we're about to get into an Ultimate Juniorweight Tourney match, this match pitting FSW's Tim Walden vs. DWO's Gina Muniz.
Mat: Hitomi, how do you say "NIPPAGE~!" in Japanese?
Byron: *sigh*
Hitomi: Let's go to the ring...
*The sound system is overcome by heavy rock guitar as "Feel Good" by Kittie and System of a Down play throughout the arena. The PURE fans give a warm reception to DWO's Gina Muniz as she make her way out the entryway, pointing out to the fans on each side as she looks incredibly excited to be apart of the tourney. Her stride is filled with energy as she slaps hands on the way down to the ring, sliding in and standing atop the second rope, yelling out to the fans as she is announced*
Ring Announcer: INTRODUCING, FROM THE PTC'S DWO....WEIGHING IN AT 165 POUNDS....GINAAAAAAAAAA MUNIZ!!!!
*The fans cheer just a little louder as Gina smiles out to the crowd, fixing her elbow pad as she stands in a corner.*
Mat: BY...DON'T GO BLANK NOW...it's just a girl
Byron: SHUT UP MAT! I know how to act around a girl..
Hitomi: Where's Mori and Kobentai when you need them...
Mat: Hey, I get paid for mocking this guy...what else could be better?
*Their bickering is cut short as "Right Now" by SR-71 blasts throughout the arena, the crowd also being warm with their reception to FSW's Tim Walden, slowly walking out the entryway with a mic in hand. He stands, looking out to the crowd as they roar with a generous pop for him, Walden making his walk down the aisle and slapping a few hands along the way*
Ring Announcer: AND HER OPPONENT...FROM FIVE-STAR-WRESTLING....WEIGHTING IN AT POUNDS....TIM WALDEN!!!!
*Tim slides in the ring, signaling to he sound man to stop his music as it is abruptly cut. He then looks to Gina, raising the mic to his lips as she stands receptively, awaiting what it is he has to say. The fans rile down as Tim says*
Walden: Gina...I would just like to say that it is a pleasure to be facing a woman of your talents in this tourney and may the best man OR WOMAN win.
Mat: Someone's trying to get laid after the show
Hitomi: If you hadn't noticed, he was being quite the gentleman
Mat: Trust me...gentle to your face....rough between the sheets
Byron: Show some class Mat
*Gina smiles, shaking Tim's hand as they both head back to their opposite corners ready to battle. The ring announcer makes his exit and the bell rings, the referee awaiting the two to lock up. They begin to encricle each other strategically before finally locking up when suddenly...*
Sound System: STAY OUT MY BUISNESS, MY BUISNESS, MY BIZ-NAAAAAAAAS!!
*The crude voice of Ludakris booms over the sound system with "Roll Out", the fans booing accordingly as thye are soon graced by the prescence of the cocky 20% owner of PURE, Jamar Wilson. He fixes his tie, holding mic in hand and looking at the two confused combatants in the ring. Jamar simply snickers, fixing his glasses before addressing the two in the ring. Before he is able to say his piece however, the puro hungry fans boo the violator of their brand of wrestling with hearty boos. He just shakes his head in disdain of the fans, waiting for them to settle down before speaking his piece*
Jamar: Hello hello again, might I say....I was watching from the good ol' Skybox up there and I must say, I was SEVERLY unimpressed by this match we have booked here. Walden vs. Muniz...a normal bland singles match? Pffft, does it look like these fans wanna see that?
Fans: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!!!!
Jamar: Well....it's not like you guys know what you want anyways, that' why it's MY job to create quality programming for you all!
*The fans boo Jamar's knock on their will to think for themselves. He clears his throat, finishing his address*
Jamar: With that thought in mind...it's time to do what I do best....ENTERTAIN...and what better way to entertain the fans tonight then an ULTIMATE JUNIORHEAVYWEIGHT.....BRA & PANTIES TOURNEY MATCH!!
*Gina Muniz stands upset within the ring, pointing at Mr.Wilson and yelling at him inaudibly, Tim Walden also looking upset at the crass nature of the proposed match. The puro tuned fans populaing the arena also boo this proposal, wishing for a more sophisticated style of match and not just eye candy.*
Mat: JAMAR IS MY HERO!!!
Hitomi: I can't believe this...
Byron: How can he sleep at night?
Mat: You see that woman he walks down with...I bet he NEVER sleeps. But enough about that...GO TIM GO, I WANNA SEE NIPPAGE~!!!!
Hitomi: *sigh*
*Jamar stands, awaiting the two to carry out his match stipulation when suddenly, the face of Sean Williams can be seen overcoming PURE-Vision, his vocie startling the crooked part owner as he spins around and looks up at the towering image of the righteous owner before him as he says*
Sean Williams: Jamar...I'm not going to let you wreck this brand of entertainment. All your trying to do is pollute what puro stands for with your brand of gratuitous violence and eye candy....well it's not only my job to give the fans what they want to see...but also to stop you from going off the handle. With that in mind, I was reviewing contracts and saw that your slu....I mean secretary dosen't have her work visa yet. Now unless you wanna see here thrown out of this building and FIRED from PURE for working overseas illegally...you better let those two in the ring wrestle a good CLEAN match...GOT IT?!
*Jamar is seething with anger, the fans cheering insanely loud for Sean's counter play to foil Jamar's plans. Knowing he has been stopped, Jamar gives the order to the referee from afar to keep it a regualr match, prompting Jamar to leave with a look of utter anger upon his face as the bell is rung for the match to begin*
Mat: DAMN THAT SEAN!! HOW CAN HE BE SO CRUEL!!?!?! THAT WAS MATCH OF THE YEAR MATERIAL MR.WILSON CREATED!!
Hitomi: This isn't porno Mat, this is PURE, and puro is our buisness, get with it.
Byron: Now lets look at this match! Walden and Muniz locking up!
*Walden and Muniz lock up, Walden using his might to overpower the daintier and smaller Gina as he goes around and locks on a hammerlock, wrenching up on it as Gina holds her shoulder in pain. Thinking quick on her feet, Gina wraps her free arm around the neck of Walden and leaps up high, falling back down and rolling on her knees as she snapmares Walden off of her. Walden springs back up and rushes at her but is shortly met by a leaping dropkick from Muniz. Walden pops up again and is met with another dropkick from Gina as she starts to build momentum earlyon in the match. Trying again for another, Walden grabs her by the legs and slams her down on her back, hooking her legs and flipping over her for a bridging pin as the referee rushes over to count*
Hitomi: 1...NO! Gina kicking out with authority
Mat: I never thought I'd say this...Walden is on top of a girl! Maybe there's hope for By over here yet...
Byron: HEEEEY!!
*Gina wraps her arms around Walden's waist, using her might to power him back up to a vertical base as she holds on. Upon getting him there, she twists her body so her arms are hooked within his and she executes a backslide, the referee jumping down again to count*
Byron: 1..ANOTHER KICKOUT!
Hitomi: They seem to be trying to win early here.
*Gina stands up, only to get met by a CRUSHING lariat from Walden that sends her crumpling to the floor. Walden follows with two short elbows to her chest as he takes her by the hair and stands her up, whipping her into the ropes. On the return, Gina leaps at Walden with her legs open, Walden catching her in a wheelbarrow position as he powers her up, only for Gina to throw her legs out and grab ahold of his head, DRIVING his face down in the mat with a bulldog. The fans cheer loudly for the technical catch as catch can display, Gina locking on a front headlock to wear down Walden*
Hitomi: Gina Muniz showing a little girl power here, she could be a threat in this tourney
Byron: Impressive is not even the word for her showing so far..
Mat: She's got a nice rack too....
Byron & Hitomi: .......
Mat: What?
*Gina tries to sinch in her headlock tighter, Walden once again using his strength advantage to get himself standing again. He then grabs Gina about her legs, hoists her up, and hits an inverted atomic drop and following directly after with a swinging neckbreaker, Gina rolling about in pain on the mat. Walden gives her no chance to rest, taking her to the corner and standing her up. He moves her arms from her chest and looks out to the fans, holding his hand open to signal for some chops, the fans responding with loud cheers*
Mat: UNFAIR ADVANTAGE...HER BREASTESSESS CUSHION THE BLOWS!!
*Tim takes it to her like a man, pelting her chest with chop after stinging chop as the fans shout in unison*
Fans: WOOO!! WOOO!!! WOOO!!!
*Finishing his assault, Walden pummels her in the corner with a few right hands before picking her up and sitting her on the turnbuckle. He mounts the first rope, climbing up to meet her when suddenly, Gina gives him a hard slap to the chest, sounding off through Ikusa Hall as he falls back down to the mat on his feet. She quickly locks his head in a front chancery and leaps off, spinning in air as she looks to land a tornado DDT....*
Hitomi: TORNADO DDT?!
*Suddenly, Walden locks his arms about her waist in mid move and sets her on her feet, before lifting her up again and PLANTING her with a Northern Lights suplex as he holds for the bridge*
Byron: 1...2...NO!
Mat: Damn...that's a good way to get a broad on her back
Byron: You ca nbe such a pig Mat
Mat: Hey, this pig gets laid.
*The fans gasp, amazed the match didn't end with that as Walden relentlessly keeps on Gina, dropping a few short knees on her back to wear her down. He then lifts her up, sinching her up in a suplex set up and grabbing a hold of the edges of her tights. After a short pause, he powers her up seemingly quite easy and holds her up for a few loose seconds before sending her tumbling down to the mat, Gina holding her back in pain as she rolls towards the ropes.*
Mat: STAY ON HER WALDEN!
Hitomi: Something tells me your enjoying this waaaay too much Mat
Mat: Can ya tell?
*Grabbing her ankle, Walden drags her back to the center of the ring before taking her legs and clamping onto it tight with a Japanese single leg crab, pulling back extremely hard on her leg as Gina screams in agony, the referee asking her for a plea of submission. Gina refuses to give in nonetheless, which only makes Walden put more pressure on her leg as she falls to the mat screaming in pain. Feeling the damage has been done, Walden releases the leg bar and follows with a series of knees to her leg.*
Byron: Walden going for a strategic strike on her leg, quite smart.
Hitomi: He's taking a more grounded approach to this match then most expected
Mat: Oh I'd ground her too....mmm...look at that leg extension, and you know what that means...
Byron & Hitomi: *double sigh*
*The fans start to rile up behind Gina, Walden clamping on a reverse anklelock as her face construes in the utmost pain, trying to fight the urge to submit. The PURE fans begin to show more support, clapping in unison and stomping their feet until the Ikusa Hall comes alive with energy for Gina Muniz, the young lady fighting to one foot as Walden has the hold still on her horizantally. She works up some strength and leaps up, catching the back of Walden's head with an enziguri as he falls to his knees, breaking the hold. Gina is sill feeding off the adrenaline, bouncing off the ropes and following with a dropkick to Walden's face for good measure.*
Hitomi: Great series if moves to get Gina back in the match, but she still seems to be favoring that leg
Mat: All the ladies favor their leg after a night with Mat
Hitomi: Did you go to the Jerry Lawler school of commentating or something Mat?
Mat: I got a 93 in "Puppy-ology"
*Gina slowly makes her way over to the corner, mounting it carefully as she still favors her leg, her face in slight winces of pain until she if finally mounted and awaiting Walden to arise. Upon getting to his feet, Gina leaps off the top with her legs outstretched for a hurracanranna, her legs wrapping around the neck of Walden as she tries to use her remaining momentum to fall bck and complete the move...but Tim keep a strong lock on her as she tries to fall back, powering her back up until she is at his mercy for a powerbomb.*
Byron: This could get ugly...
Mat: It got ugly when I heard you were at the announce table..
*Before Walden can drive her down for the powerbomb, Gina spins over on his shoulders and drops down his back, hooking hsi waist for a sunset flip as the referee drops down for a count, the fans impressed with her scintillating counter*
Hitomi: ONE...TWO...NO!!
Mat: Oh man I woulda stayed down...I bet she's a real freak...
Hitomi: I wonder if FSW is hiring
*Walden kicks out with authority, catching Gina as she stands up with a single-leg pancake to the mat. After splattering her to mat with his move, he flips her over and raises his arm to signal for this trademark "Walden-Sault", the FSW star beginning his climb up the top rope with his back turned to Gina*
Byron: IT'S TIME FOR THE WORLD FAMOUS WALDEN-SAULT!!!
Mat & Hitomi: .....
Byron: Okay okay...so maybe I'm the only one who marks for it
*With Walden mounted on top, he stands tall before leaping off with a picture perfect backflip, the hang-time amazing....but the landing nothing short of disastrous as Gina rolls out of harms way, leaving Walden to smash against the mat by his own hand*
Mat: That right there is the reason why the Walden-sault is not world famous
Byron: Rub it in Mat
Hitomi: It could be anyone's match right now!
*The fans begin their mighty roar for the two downed combatants again, clapping and stomping intensely as the two begin to power themselves up as best as they can, never letting their opponent out of their sight. Gina falls back against her corner catching breath as Walden tries to take advantage, rushing at her for the attack. Gina slides to the side, Walden crashing into the turnbuckle as Gina puts him in a headlock. She then springs off the middle rope and drives Walden's face down with a springboard bulldog, Walden popping off the mat and holding his face in pain as Gina catches more of her breath, pulling herself up with the ropes, the will to win pushing her further.*
Hitomi: To think this is only a first round match!
*Gina limps over to Walden, tagging him repeatedly with right hands until she backs him into the ropes. She then Irish whips him across the ring, Gina getting in the middle and bending over for a back body drop....but those plans change as Walden sinches her by the waist, powers her up with a gutwrench, and stiffly powerbombs her down to the mat, Gina laid out with arms outstretched after that high impact move. Tim is catching his breath, throwing three fingers in the air believing the match is won*
Byron: It has to be over after a crushing move like that...
Hitomi: She gave a valiant effort nonetheless
Mat: She's always got me if she needs someone to make her feel better
Byron: Or knock her up...
Mat: HEY, I PAY ALL MY CHILD SUPPORT...all five of my baby's mother's don't ever complain!
*Walden slowly strides over to a laid out Gina, laying his back over her and hooking a leg as he throws his hand in the air and counts along with the referee*
Hitomi: 1...2...WAIT WAIT WAIT!!
*Suddenly, Gina hooks the arms of Tim Walden, rolling him over on his shoulders and holding tight with all her might, her opponent kicking and screamign to break free as the ref and the fans count in unison*
Hitomi: 1....2...3!!!!! GINA DID IT!! GINA MUNIZ HAS ADVANCED IN THE ULTIMATE JUNIOR TOURNEY!!
Mat: HE LOST TO A GIRL!! GOD I WISH I WAS HIM!! Do you realize how much he'd pay for that anywhere else?!
Byron: Only in Mat's world...
*"Feel Good" by Kittie blares as Gina pulls herself up and stands against a corner, the fans showing their appreciation for her victory with roars of approval, Tim looking distraught about his loss. Yet even in defeat, a sweaty Walden comes up off the mat and holds his hand out to the lovely Gina Muniz. She smiles, taking his hand in hers and shaking it as the crowd comes alive for the sportsmanship and hard work put on display for them*
Hitomi: Now that's quality puro
Mat: I still think he's trying to get laid...
Byron: And when we return….IT’S TIME FOR THE MAIN EVENT, THE END VS. INPHINO BLITZ!! STAY TUNED!!
(PURE:Ikusa is brought to you by Mat Waters…even if this show goes down the drain, it’ll be worth watching just to see who he disses or what nasty comment he makes)
**We return from commercial where we find Sean Williams in the backstage hallway, watching Ikusa on a monitor and not exactly looking too pleased with what he sees as he stirs up some cream in his plastic cup off coffee. His day gets much worse when he is met shortly by…Jamar Wilson. He smiles, standing face to face with the rival owner as the stand-off looks like a mirror image….one man black, the other white…one man too cocky for his own good, the other looking extremely serious**
Jamar: Enjoying the show Sean?
**Sean looks to Jamar, obviously pissed he would even come in his face and act friendly. Sean simply clears his throat and says**
Sean: Jamar…you may have screwed up my vision for PURE’s return show….but I’ll be damned if you screw up PURE as a whole. You and I, we’ll never see eye to eye, that’s a given….but you will not destroy my dream. I’m warning you, screw up my main event, and there will be hell to pay.
**Jamar smirks, looking Sean deep in the eye, this moment extremely tense as Jamar asks**
Jamar: You threatening me?
Sean: No…I’M PROMSING hell to pay if you screw my main event up
Jamar: Hehe…I’ve always enjoyed a challenge. I will say this…I’ll dub you my greatest victory ever when I rip this federation from your hands. Trust me Sean…YOU….WILL…LOSE. Mark my words. Because when I beat you, I’m taking EVERYTHING. Now enjoy the rest of the show…partner.
**Jamar pats Sean’s shoulder before walking away, Sean brushing off his shoulder after Jamar leaves and his face further construing into one of disdain and anger. He takes a sip of his coffee, looking back to the monitor as the show goes back to the arena**
Hitomi Asami: Welcome back to PURE for our main event on Ikusa 2.0
Mat Waters: Yep. The new run of PURE, giving Byron Calver a chance to have the piss taken out of him on an entirely new stage.
Byron Calver: Yeah. That is...HEY!
Mat Waters: One day a picture of you is going to feature next to the word gullible in the dictionary.
Hitomi Asami: Let’s just get on with the match shall we?
**Prayer by Sad hits the speakers as the Ikusa Hall fills up with smoke. The introduction to Prayer ends and the smoke clears as Inphino Blitz walks out to a cheer from the crowd. He continues to walk down the aisle, cracking his joints from head downwards, before hopping onto the apron and up to the top rope, raising his arms and roaring to hype the already buoyant crowd. Blitz then drops into the corner and folds his arms, leaning back on the ropes.**
Ring Announcer: This is our Main Event. Introducing first. Weighing 230 lbs. He comes from Sado Island, INPHINO BLITZ!!!
**Blitz steps forward and bows his head as his name is called, before the packed Ikusa Hall crowd erupt into a chant of “Blitz!”**
Hitomi Asami: This is a battle for pride and honor between two of PURE’s greatest ever competitors.
Mat Waters: Or a chance for Byron to be able to sit and watch more men in tights prance around. Whichever way you look at it.
Byron Calver: I prefer looking at it another way.
Mat Waters: You mean you prefer them out of the tights? You sick man.
Byron Calver: No...I mean...Ah stuff you.
Mat Waters: No thank you. I’m strictly heterosexual. In fact, Hitomi...what are you doing after the show?
Hitomi Asami: Trying to tell myself that you don’t really exist, and that this is only a nightmare.
Byron Calver: Ha!
Mat Waters: At least it’s an actual female declining me. If, in a few years I do drop to your level, I’ll start worrying when sheep refuse.
Byron Calver: DAMN YOU!
**Bombshell by Powerman 5000 hits the speakers as the crowd cheer for The End. The End walks to the ring, with little in the way of acknowledgement of the fans, and jumps up onto the apron. After springing onto the top rope, the End executes a perfect spinning backflip, and lands in the center of the ring to show his agility, and walks into his corner to stretch for the match.**
Ring Announcer: And his opponent. Weighing in at 225 lbs, THE END!!!
**The ring announcer slides out of the ring as the bell rings. Inphino claps his hands together and strides into the center of the ring. The End’s acute sense of hearing does him well, and he steps forward to meet him, both men shaking hands in the center of the ring before starting to circle each other.**
Byron Calver: Good show of sportsmanship between the two competitors.
Mat Waters: Don’t lie Byron. Last time you saw two men meet in a ring and shake hands was on the TV in your hotel room. I did warn you you’d pay double for the adult channels.
Hitomi Asami: Can we please get back to the match?
**A mumbled apology from Mat can be heard as The End and Inphino Blitz lock up in the center of the ring. The End takes the early advantage with a hammerlock, before bringing it out into a standing armbar. End continues the offence by applying a headlock on Blitz, following through and flipping him over to the mat, before holding the pressure. The crowd applauds politely as Blitz makes sure his shoulders aren’t touching the mat.**
Hitomi Asami: Good technical opening to the match.
Mat Waters: By all accounts, Byron has a good technical opening.
Byron Calver: You are vile.
Mat Waters: Guilty as charged.
**Inphino manages to roll back to his feet, The End holding the headlock on for good measure. Blitz backs him into the ropes and pushes him off, taking him down with a shoulder block on the return. Blitz then runs the adjacent ropes, skipping over End as he dives down. End leaps back to his feet for the second return, and times it well to hit a backflip dropkick on the returning Blitz. The crowd again applauds the two competitors.**
Hitomi Asami: The End with a perfect dropkick on Blitz. It just goes to show that people can work through disabilities.
Mat Waters: PURE is a testament to that. We have The End who is blind, and Byron Calver, who is still working despite a mental handicap that has left him as dumb as a post.
Byron Calver: I’m sure you were only employed to joke about me.
Mat Waters: Finally! He understands the concept!
**The End rolls back to his feet, and steps forward, bending to pick up Blitz, but receives a kick to the face for his troubles. Blitz kips back to his feet, and Irish whips The End off the ropes. On the return, Blitz ducks under The End’s clothesline attempt, and runs the ropes, before leaping into the air with a flying sidekick, crashing into The End’s chest.**
Hitomi Asami: Enter The Dragon.
Mat Waters: Don’t say that too loud. Byron will want to know who The Dragon is.
Byron Calver: Knock it on the head Mat.
Mat Waters: No thanks. I’ll leave that to you. You’ve had much more experience than I have.
Hitomi Asami: Will you two stop arguing? I will knock your heads together.
Mat Waters: Don’t do that! I’ll catch whatever he’s got!
Hitomi Asami: I’m warning you.
Mat Waters & Byron Calver: Yes ma’am.
**Blitz is first back to his feet, and picks The End up, whipping him off the ropes again and dropping him with a powerslam. Blitz holds for the cover, but The End kicks out at one. Blitz leaps back to his feet, and helps The End up, but The End snaps him over with another headlock takedown. The End quickly locks in a headscissors on Blitz, who tries his best to fight the hold.**
Hitomi Asami: The End is putting on a good show against Blitz.
Byron Calver: The crowd is loving this!
**The crowd applaud again as Blitz manages to fight the hold, and rolls his head through. Still locked in the move though, he raises back to his feet, and uses is body weight to flip over and out of the hold, landing in a pinning combination on The End. End breaks free, and applies a waistlock from underneath Blitz, and bridges upwards. Blitz shakes his arms free, and both men go for a backslide. Blitz gets the upper hand slowly, but as The End fights back, uses his unorthodox “Forbidden 999” manoeuvres and flips over The End, delivering both feet into his face.**
Hitomi Asami: What agility by Blitz, breaking the backslide attempt with a Rainbow Knocker.
Mat Waters: I had a girlfriend who once had Rainbow Knockers. But then I found out that it was actually a tattoo and not edible body paint.
Byron Calver: You are sick.
Mat Waters: Stop complimenting me.
**Blitz grabs hold of The End’s legs, and rolls through into a cover. The End again bridges out, but instead of going for a backslide, spins Blitz around and grabs him for a DDT. Blitz counters and stands vertical, lifting The End off of the mat, but End uses the momentum to release the hold and land behind Blitz. The End then runs the ropes, and comes back into a tilt-a-whirl from Blitz. End holds on and spins around him in a headscissors, before popping out at one side, and delivering a falling DDT, to which the crowd erupt in applause.**
Hitomi Asami: Deja Vu from The End! This match is back and forth.
Mat Waters: Like Byron’s strokes.
Byron Calver: I really am going to...
Mat Waters: Whoa! I meant golf strokes man!
Byron Calver: Oh. Good.
Mat Waters: See Hitomi, what did I say about gullible?
**The End kips back to his feet, and grabs hold of Blitz, lifting him to his feet, and in turn into a powerbomb position. End quickly delivers a powerbomb to Blitz, before lifting him again into a Fireman’s Carry. Holding him by the throat, End throws Blitz’s torso out behind him into a modified Samoan Neckbreaker, before rolling back through, still holding the throat, and into a reverse Boston Crab. The crowd applause with a small chant of End’s name ringing out through Ikusa Hall.**
Hitomi Asami: The End chaining together to make the White Noise.
Mat Waters: Byron makes White Noise. But only when he’s taking a big, black...
Byron Calver: SHUT UP NOW! I will kick your ass if you don’t be quiet.
Hitomi Asami: And I will kick both of your asses if you’re not careful. Sit there, shut up, and call the match.
**Blitz grimaces against the pain as he shakes his head against the queries of him submitting. The End realises he’s not going to submit, and quickly shifts position to be standing on the back of Blitz’s knees. The End delivers a few shots to the kidneys, reaching forward for Inphino’s arms, and rolling into a Mexican surfboard. The End holds him for a few seconds, before rolling him again into the air. The End again holds him for a few seconds, and rolls down a second time, this time sitting out behind his opponent, legs still locked, and reaching for Blitz’s throat. The End manages to lock on a modified Cobra Clutch from the Mexican Stretch position, and wrenches back to elevate Blitz into the air again.**
Hitomi Asami: Oh my lord!
Mat Waters: Yes, m’lady?
Hitomi Asami: Shut up. I was about to compliment The End on chaining the White Noise into Blackout.
Byron Calver: Outstanding technical ability from The End.
**Blitz again refuses to give up, so The End releases the hold. but stretches back to keep Blitz on his knees. The End then runs the ropes, and delivers a dropkick to the back of The Black Dragon Master. The End hooks the legs for a cover.**
Byron Calver: One, Two...
Mat Waters: Buckle my shoe.
Hitomi Asami: Kick out on two by Inphino Blitz. This man is taking quite a beating here tonight.
Mat Waters: Byron...
Hitomi Asami: Don’t even think of completing that sentence.
Mat Waters: But...
Hitomi Asami: No buts.
Mat Waters: No buts? How will Byron survive?
**A slap can be heard at ringside followed by a cry of agony from Mat. The End gets back to his feet, and lifts Blitz up, backing him into a corner. The End whips Blitz into an opposite corner, following in with a clothesline. The End again sends Blitz into another corner, and follows in with a handspring back elbow, but Blitz ducks the actual elbow shot, and lifts The End up in a Belly-to-Back suplex position, and steps forward, slamming The End spine first onto the top turnbuckle.**
Hitomi Asami: Great counter by Blitz there.
*Crowd: PURORESU! PURORESU! PURORESU!*
Byron Calver: What a show being put on for the crowd hear! This is a wrestlefest!
Mat Waters: Unlike your usual weekends that are just men-fest’s?
Hitomi Asami: If he is that way inclined, at least he is getting some activity Mat.
Byron Calver: Hey! I mean...yeah! No...what?
Mat Waters: That is pure evil. Pure, unadulterated evil! A lady should never make those comments.
Hitomi Asami: Why not? You’ve been making them all night.
**Mat obviously doesn’t get the joke as silence falls on the announce team. Blitz slowly rolls over, and hooks The End’s leg for a cover, but gets one before PURE’s only blind wrestler reaches the bottom rope. Blitz, still groggy, gets back to his feet, and tries to shake a few cobwebs loose as The End gets up. The End charges at Blitz, and attempts a clothesline, but Blitz ducks and spins quickly, kicking The End in his right knee, then again in his right side, and then to his face. Blitz quickly repeats the process on The End’s left side.**
Hitomi Asami: Shadow Blitz in the making!
**Blitz then alternates the shots, right leg, left leg. Right side, left side. Right side of head, left side of head. As The End staggers, Blitz nails a shot to his stomach, doubling End over, before kicking him up in his face. The End stands bolt upright, and clutches at his face, but gets caught with another kick to the stomach. Again End doubles over, but this time stands upright clutching is face for protection already as Blitz fakes a kick. Blitz, seeing this, quickly spins around himself, and nails a superb axe kick to the back of The End’s head, collapsing him to the mat. The Ikusa Hall crowd erupt into the biggest round of applause so far tonight.**
Hitomi Asami: (Shouting over the crowd noise) SHADOW BLITZ! 16 Stunning kicks that have nearly knocked The End out cold!
Byron Calver: That has to be the most painful combo I have ever seen!
Mat Waters: I don’t know...did you ever eat at McDonalds?
**Blitz staggers backwards, still feeling the effects of the match so far, before raising his hands to the crowds cheering, acknowledging the PURE faithful, before picking The End up. Blitz delivers a few more kicks to End’s side, staggering him, before running the ropes, on the return, Blitz leaps up with a spinning heel kick, but also locks his free leg behind The Ends kneecaps, and uses it to not only take him over with the kick, but to sweep his legs out from underneath him as well.**
Hitomi Asami: Orochi Nagi! Blitz is taking things to another level!
Mat Waters: Byron has done that...but it was to a whole new LOWER level.
Byron Calver: At least I don’t drop to my knees at the first sign of trousers being unzipped.
Mat Waters: No. You’re already on your knees offering before they’re unzipped.
Byron Calver: Damn you!
**Blitz applauds the crowd again as they cheer, before reaching down for The End again, lifting him into a front face lock, and hooking his inside leg. Blitz raises The End in the air, before falling forwards, still holding End, and driving the back of his head to the mat with an inverted Fisherman’s buster. Blitz releases the hold, and signals to the crowd, pointing to the top rope.**
Hitomi Asami: KOTO ZUKI YOU! And now he’s going for My Angelic Suicide!
Byron Calver: If Blitz hits this, The End will be defeated in the first Main Event since the re-opening!
**Inphino Blitz walks to the corner, and leaps onto the top rope in one motion, before turning to face The End. Blitz presses both of his palms together in prayer, and closes his eyes, readying himself for the 360 degrees Swanton**
Byron: IT’S OVER…IT’S OVER…IT’S WHAT THE HELL?!?!
**Suddenly, none other than ALI KHADAFFI comes running out of the crowd, the volatile African-American loose cannon shoving Blitz off the top rope as he goes tumbling down to the mat. The fans boos overwhelm the arena as the bell is rung, the main event spoiled due to the surprise return of Ali**
Mat: MR.WILSON’S SURPRISE IS HERE!!
Hitomi: I CAN’T BELIEVE HE SIGNED HIM BACK!!
**Ali begins pounding away on Blitz, pummeling him with right hands on the ground, this brutal assault on the PURE superstar in desperate need of being broken up. The End regains his bearings and tries to pull Ali off of Inphino, but Ali’s anger transfer’s to The End as he pummels him with stiff right hands before lifting him up by the legs and DRIVING him down to the mat with a spinebuster.**
Byron: Why would Mr.Wilson bring this monster back to PURE…
**The carnage continues, Ali sliding outside the ring and grabbing a hold of a loose steel chair before sliding back in, awaiting Blitz to rise up to his feet. Just like clockwork, Blitz makes it up…and he is brought back down with amazing quickness following a thunderous chair shot to the skull of Blitz, the bell ringing for the mayhem to stop. Ali then tosses the chair to the mat and locks Inphino’s head in the DDT set-up…lining him up over I before driving his head down on the chair, Blitz out cold as the fans boo angrily at Ali’s disdainful actions.**
Hitomi: WHY WON’T HE STOP?! THIS HAS GOT TO END!!
**Ali stands over Blitz, spitting on him angrily and raising his arms in the air as the fans can’t stop their booing of the returning Ali. The camera pans upward, as we find Mr.Wilson in his Skybox watching down below, clapping and brandishing a wide smile at what was just seen**
Byron: Thing’s just got a lot more “entertaining”….which is Mr.Wilson for “f**ked up”
Hitomi: This is just wrong…
Mat: Man….he got F**KED UP!
Hitomi: For Byron Calver and Mat Waters….Good night everyone and stay tuned for the next Ikusa!!
**With Ali back, the main event ruined, and the sides of tradition vs. entertainment furthering establishing themselves the scene begins to fade with the “PURE 2002” logo displayed in the bottom corner, Ali talking more smack to the fallen Inphino as the show begins to fade to black…but not before it cuts to the back where we find an enraged Sean Williams, throwing his coffee to the ground and staring at the monitor with pure rage....his vision for PURE's return not being a grand and regal event....but an anarchy as the show fades to black**
