Hitomi Asami: Let’s get straight into it, it is already time for the first match in the history of Puroresu Ultimate Ring Entertainment! Let us go up to our ring Hanza so he may introduce the participants.
Hanza : This contest is scheduled for one fall, and it will be the first match ever in PURE!
Hanza : Introducing first…
“You Get To Burning” by Yumi Matsuzawa plays, as “Jido-San” Masanobu Azaki makes his way to the ring.
Hanza : From Osaka, Japan..standing 6’4”, and weighing 270 lbs… “Jido San” AZAKI….MASANOBU!
The name is pronounced family name first, as is done in Japanese culture. Jido-san enters the squared circle, awaiting his rival as “Tear Away” by Drowning Pool hits.
Hanza : His opponent hails from the island of Okinawa! Standing 6’6”, and weighing 278 pounds….RINJIRO……SHIRATA!
The two men circle each other intently, as the bell rings, once.
DING!
Hitomi Asami: Here we go!
Azaki and Rinjiro stare into each other’s eyes slowly. A handshake is exchanged, as the men quickly lock up. Jido-San strikes first, with a forearm to the forehead. He fires off a second, and then spins around, catching Shirata with a knifedge chop to the throat.
Mori Morishigi: Quick offensive flurry from Masanobu!
Kobentai Kiyashi, the third commentator, seems rather bored with the proceedings.
Kobentai Kiyashi: I wish to see more emotion from both competitors. This is not America... they cannot go out there on this Puroresu television show and punch each other for twenty minutes and expect to be cheered for their pathetic effort.
Masanobu spins for another chop, but Shirata Rinjiro evades the blow, then throws a sharp palm strike to Azaki’s chest. He steps back, and uses his size to take Azaki to the canvas with a standing lariat.
Hitomi Asami: Rinjiro coming back to assert himself early in the bout.
Mori Morishigi: Absolutely! This early stage of the contest is vital to both men.
Azaki gets back to his feet, and lays in another series of forearm shots. He bends Rinjiro forward, following these blows with a DDT. Masanobu aims, and drops an elbow across Shirata’s broad chest.
Kobentai Kiyashi: Now we are getting somewhere.
Azaki grabs Rinjiro’s arm, attempting to apply a Fujiwara armbar. However, this is blocked, as Rinjiro nips up to his feet, a nice display of agility. Shirata grabs Azaki by the left leg, taking him over in a dragon screw legwhip.
Hitomi Asami: Quick takedown from Shirata Rinjiro!
Mori Morishigi: But can he capitalize upon this position of power?
Rinjiro maintains his grip upon the leg of Azaki, repositioning slightly to attempt to cinch in an anklelock, but Azaki uses his hands to drag himself quickly in a belly crawl to the bottom rope before grabbing it, as Rinjiro respectfully stops his hold attempt.
Hitomi Asami: Rinjiro-san almost gained a definite advantage upon Masanobu Azaki.
Mori Morishigi: But Azaki-san was able to avoid the calculated attempt to take advantage of the weakened leg.
Kobentai Kiyashi: Good because otherwise this match might have ended prematurely.
Azaki gets up slowly, gripping his leg from the hold, and leans against the ropes. Rinjiro runs towards Azaki and attempts a spear, but Azaki, using the ropes as leverage, springs up and takes down Rinjiro from behind with a dragon suplex. The referee goes down to count the pin
Mori Morishigi: We may have a winner of match right now!
Hitomi Ashami: The referee is counting, 1...2...We have a kickout at the last moment by Shirata Rinjiro.
Kobentai Kiyashi: I do not wish this match would just end. That is not Puroresu.
Rinjiro and Azaki both take their time recovering from the move and Azaki is the first one up from the move. He picks up the struggling Rinjiro and tries to hit a swinging neckbreaker but Rinjiro counters the move and forces Azaki to make a full rotation of the move and he uses the momentum to DDT Azaki.
Hitomi Ashami: That was a brilliant counter by “Jido-San!”
Kobentai Kiyashi: That is something to aspire to..
Azaki lays on the mat, in pain, as Rinjiro climbs the first and second rope. He then positions himself on top of the turnbuckle and flies off with a guillotine leg drop, but Azaki smartly moves out of the way, rolling out of danger. Azaki now gets up and just as Rinjiro is getting up, and hits a quick dropkick, knocking the man back over.
Mori Morishigi: Very nice use of the dropkick by Azaki.
Hitomi Ashami: He is gaining control of the match very quickly.
Kobentai Kiyashi: That is good. The talent level in this arena might be indeed rising at this precise moment.
Azaki now goes over to the man lying on the mat and lock him in sitting abdominal stretch. Rinjiro tries to reach the ropes, but with every second the pain on his face increases. He reaches, but misses. He reaches again and misses. Now he has stopped the reaching and the referee raises his arm. It falls. His arm is raised again, and again Rinjiro’s arm falls. For a third time his arm is raised, but this time it stays up and Shirata Rinjiro begins to throw elbows into the face of Masanobu Azaki.
Kobentai Kiyashi: A good break away there and the match continues.
Hitomi Ashami: This match does indeed continue, and Shirata Rinjiro has new life within his body!
Rinjiro continues to throw elbows until Azaki is forced to release the hold. Rinjiro whips Azaki into the turnbuckle. He runs at the man and connects with a powerful spear!
Mori Morishigi: Rinjiro-san calls that move Act of Fate!
Kobentai Kiyashi: And in Puroresu we do not Act.
Hitomi Ashami: Shirata Rinjiro is going to try to end this match right now!
Rinjiro goes and picks up a groggy Azaki and sets him up into a vertical suplex position. He goes to slam the man down into a jackhammer, but Azaki escapes and kicks Rinjiro in the gut, then hits a cradled inverted DDT!
Hitomi Ashami: That was the Azaki-Bomb onto Rinjiro-san!
Mori Morishighi- Both men are very close to nailing a move that can decide this match’s outcome!
Azaki tries to lock on Azaki Garame, a head and arm lock finishing hold, but Riniro slips away and quickly hits a Jackhammer. He then picks the man up and hits another Jackhammer! He follows with a third Jackhammer! He is now looking tired and picks up Akazi for one more. He holds him in the air for about ten seconds and then slams him down with amazing force!
Hitomi Ashami: That was an amazing display of power from Shirata Rinjiro!
Mori Morishigi: He just hit Downfall onto Masanobu Akazi!
Kobentai Kiyashi: This should end the match.
Rinjiro covers 1…2…3
Winner: Shirata Rinjiro
Mori Morishigi: That was an amazing start to PURE’s first show! We’ve got much more to come, but first we must see a commercial!
((Commercial: Morishigi’s House of Sushi... bring the family. **cuts to an image of Mori Morishigi eating a lot of Sushi extremely quickly**))
Kobentai Kiyashi: You have no shame.
Mori Morishigi: What? Because I take pleasure in eating... you should take pleasure in something.
Kobentai Kiyashi: I take pleasure in reminding people like you not to embarrass yourselves publically.
Mori Morishigi: Nice hobby.
Kobentai Kiyashi: I thought so too.
Hitomi Asami: Excuse me ladies, but we have some footage shot earlier today to show the public.
Mori and Kobentai: Ladies?
“Earlier Today” appears in blue letters in the bottom left hand corner of the screen. The camera cuts to show the empty arena, where the ring crew toiled around setting up the ring and stage, preparing for the first Ikusa show that night. The bleachers are empty of spectators, and the voices of the stage crew are faint, though understandable from the camera’s position all the way in the back of the arena in the high seats. Then, a voice is heard from nearby off camera.
Voice: This...is the beginning.
The camera turns to its left to find one of PURE’s new superstars, Inphino Blitz, sitting in the bleachers next to the camera. Dressed in his trademark all black shirt and pants, he leans back with his arms folded across his chest and his legs propped up on the back of the seats in front of him. From underneath the mass of blue and black hair, he wore a pair of black shades.
Inphino: Those diligent workers down there...they work with all they have, determined to do their jobs the best that they possibly can to make sure that this night is special. And they have every right...for this night is indeed special. This night marks the beginning of a new era in the never-ending dance of battle. Ikusa, the debut show of PURE, where those who wish to do battle compete in the form that it was created...with honor, fighter’s pride, and pure...skill.
He lets out a sigh as he leans forward, resting his forearms on his knees.
Inphino: The beginning is always special, for it leaves so many questions left to be answered later on. What shall happen...what shall not happen...all of these questions will be answered, while new questions will be forged. The end will always seem like it is never near...for we all are living in the middle right at this moment, and beginnings come about again and again in the midst of our own stories called life. This is yet another beginning for me...hopefully one that will prove to be better than the impromptu ending last time.
Blitz turns towards the camera, removing his sunglasses and staring with his dark eyes into the lens.
Inphino: This is PURE Ikusa...pure war...and like all wars, there shall be winners and losers. What we all must ask ourselves...is if we are not ready for victory...but if we are ready for defeat. If you are pure...then there is nothing for you to be concerned about. If you are not pure...then the Black Dragon Master will lead by example on what it is to be...pure.
The Black Dragon Master sighs again as he slips on his sunglasses and leans back against his chair again.
Inphino: So...the battle...begins...
***Cut Scene***
The scene opens up to show the PURE logo on a white backdrop behind a long table set up on a small stage about two feet high. At the center of the table was a small podium and a microphone atop of it. Below the stage, an audience of reporters and news hounds sat murmuring amongst themselves as they waited for the conference to begin. Then as if on cue, they all began clapping as PURE owner, Alexander Miyagawa, stepped on stage before the podium.
Miyagawa: Thank you all for attending this press conference. As I am sure you know, I am Alexander Miyagawa, owner of the Japan-based PURE Wrestling. Allow me to introduce to you all now a man who name precedes his reputation. Ladies and gentlemen...Inphino Blitz!
Applause fills the room as Inphino Blitz steps into the room along with a light brown haired, black bandana wearing woman following after him. She was dressed in tight blue jeans, a black thong exposed above her waistline, black boots, and a black sleeveless halter top with the words “BLITZ” etched out in dark blue across the chest. Inphino bows to the audience first before bowing to Miyagawa. Then he shakes hands with the owner, giving a small hug, before the woman with him shakes hands with Miyagawa as well. He steps to the side as Inphino and the woman with him take the podium.
Inphino: Let me say that is a honor as well as a pleasure to be doing battle in a federation that holds so much potential and so much talent. I would like to personally as well as publicly thank Miyagawa for giving me this opportunity to compete in this place of battle...allowing me the opportunity to return into the ranks of Primetime Central. Also, let me thank you all as well for taking time out of your busy schedules to speak with someone the likes of me.
The reporters clap for Inphino’s appreciation towards themselves and Miyagawa.
Inphino: Now, with that aside, let us begin with this conference. Are there any questions?
A plethora of hands shoot into the air at once. Inphino looks around at the hands slowly before picking one out of the crowd.
Inphino: Yes...you.
The hands lower as a youthful woman in a black suit and a notepad reads off her question.
Reporter #1: Thank you, Inphino. I think the question that everyone is dying to ask is where have you been since your disappearance from Primetime Championship Wrestling?
Inphino lets out a deep sigh before answering the controversial question.
Inphino: Well...to clear things up, I was informed that my… sister… was declared dead sometime around New Dawning and my world title match. That knocked my focus and preparation for that match off target, therefore forcing me into a defeat at the hands of Trashcan Man. Afterwards, I raced back here to Japan, only to find that my sister was not dead, and it was all a ruse. I was the victim of foul play...all devised by the one who calls himself the Neo Void God...PCW’s Akiyama. With my PCW contract terminated and my life also thought to be terminated... I saw no other alternative other than to train and hone my skills in a small Indy federation, biding my time until I could make my return. And so...here I am this day before you all.
Hands shoot up across the room again. Inphino points out a middle-aged man in a brown suit.
Reporter#2: Inphino...what are your plans for PURE? Any plans on making a return into PCW?
Inphino: My lifelong quest has always been to train my own personal martial arts skill, perfecting my technique as I have been destined to do so. As of now, my plans are to merely exist in PURE as an example, or quite possibly an embodiment of everything PURE stands for. Courage, spirit, might, skill, honor...and I hope by leading by example, I will guide other fighters into what it truly means to do battle on all aspects of the mind, body, and soul. If my quest and my training leads me towards becoming champion of this place, then so be it. As far as PCW goes... I would take my quest there also if they were willing to accept me back after the disgrace I caused them on my curt exit. Next question?
A gray suited man with a black beard stands with a palm pilot in hand.
Reporter#3: Mr. Blitz, who is this lovely woman by your side?
Inphino glances back at her, as she smiles at the reporters.
Inphino: This...is Mina de Margo. She is a long-term acquaintance of mine. She is quite skilled in managerial duties, as well as wrestling. I thought she could be an asset not only to myself, but to PURE as well as being one of their first female competitors...that is, if Miyagawa will allow it.
Miyagawa stands up quickly and grabs the microphone with a smirk.
Miyagawa: We’ll have to look into that, Blitz.
The audience chuckles lightly as Inphino picks another reporter. A woman in a white blouse and black bow stands.
Reporter #4: What are your thoughts on your debut match tonight against “The Dark Lotus” Naekura Toryama, Hiro Saotome, and Takumi Umeshita?
Inphino clears his throat before starting.
Inphino: I look forward to this battle greatly. This will be the first time that I am meeting both of these men, and from the information I have been receiving, they sound to be just the competitors that I crave to pit my skills against. Takumi Umeshita, from what I have learned, is a GWF major superstar, Hiro Saotome is said to be a talented opponent, and Naekura Toryama is said to be a former PCW Extreme champion. Both of these men have earned my respect for their achievements, and I am hoping that I have earned their respect as well. This battle will prove to be most challenging, but I am confident in my skills. Without confidence in one’s self, there is no hope in defeating others, and in the end the only person that will be defeated will be yourself. I do declare now that both of these men will find out first hand just how much training and growth I have been through since my absence.
One more reporter shoots up to her feet, this one dressed in a black skirt, black blazer with the lapels of her brown silk blouse peeking from underneath. She pulls a pen out of her dark brown ponytail and preps to take notes from the Black Dragon Master.
Reporter #5: Hello, I’m Yuri Takazawa, freelance reporter working with Puroresu NOW magazine. What are your feelings on the man who has quite possibly ruined your career in PCW when you had built quite possibly the fastest rise to World title level ever in PCW, Akiyama?
Inphino: I do not agree with the methods that he displayed before to deceive me, or do I approve of his actions thus far. However, my presence in PCW was not forgotten so easily, and it has haunted him for most of his career there, only now to have finally grown out of my shadow. If I am ever to return to PCW...then naturally Akiyama will be a major issue to deal with.
Yuri: One more question. Has the thought come across your mind to reform the PCW stable, The Elements, considering that there are three out of the four original members present within PURE?
Inphino looks over to Miyagawa, who gives the Black Dragon Master a knowing look.
Inphino: We will let the black winds of destiny deal with those matters. That is all for now, I have a match to prepare for. With that said and done...the Black Dragon Master has spoken.
Inphino bows to the reporters before posing for a few pictures with Miyagawa and Mina de Margo. Then he shakes hands with Miyagawa and walks with him offstage.
We return to the three commentators once again.
Windsor versus Simon versus Kimbell
Mori: Looks like we are preparing to move into our next PURE match-up, another triple threat with this one including three powerhouses of PURE.
Hitomi: Those powerhouses being Carl Kimbell, "Golden Bear" Steve Windsor, and "The Future Legend" Brian Simon, all looking to be great heavyweight competitiors in this federation.
Kiyashi: Forgive me if I don't sound impressed at the moment, I want to see what the men have to offer before singing their praises.
Hitomi: I think PURE is all about singing and not bringing Kiyashi.
"Hellbound by D12 blares over the loud speakers as the fans break out into boos as Carl Kimball emerges from the entryway, walking down the aisle with not a word to say and his focus deadset on the ring. He slides in, removing his dark sunglasses and climbing a turnbuckle, raising his arms high within the air as the boos continue for Kimball, who shortly dismounts the turnbuckle and stretches out on the ropes.
Ring Hanza : FROM NEW YORK, U.S.A.....WEIGHING IN AT 320 POUNDS.....CAAAAARL KIMBAAAAALL!!
Hitomi: I guess booing Kimball was their first impression. Says a lot I suppose.
Kiyashi: It doesn’t matter what the fans think, they don't decide who is the best do they?
"God Save The Queen" plays next over the speakers, the fans cheering as "The Future Legend" Brian Simon makes his way out of the entryway, raising his arm in air and pointing out to the Japanese crowd as they cheer him back in return. He crosses sides down the aisle, tagging a few hands before leaping up on the apron and stepping in through the ropes, stretching out his arms as he again waves to the fans.
Ring Hanza : FROM BLACKPOOL, ENGLAND, WEIGHING IN AT 265 POUNDS....."THE FUTURE LEGEND"....BRIIIIIAN SIIIIIMON!!!
Mori: He's what many call a "shooter" a straight up, in your face style of wrestling, ti shoudl beinteresting to see how he meshes with these two powerhouses.
Finally, the roar of a bear echoes through the arena followed by "This Life" by Primer 55 blareing over the sound system. Out from the entryway comes "Golden Bear" Steve Windsor, outstretching his arms and roaring like his namesake as the fans cheer back with excitement. He walks down the aisle, ready to fight, a few hands slapping his shoulders and ripped arms before he slides in the ring. He takes a corner for himself, roaring one more time to the crowd as they respond in cheers.*
Hitomi: He sure knows how to get a crowd response.
Mori: Many say Steve Windsor is quite an exciting athelete to look out for.
Ring Hanza : AND THEIR OPPONENT...HAILING FROM EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA....WEIGHING IN AT 285 POUNDS....."THE GOLDEN BEAR" STEVE WINDSOR!!!
The fans cheer as the referee makes sure all the men are within their corners. He then signals for the bell and all three men begin to encircle each other carefully, each trying to feel out which one they want to go for. Finally, Simon makes the first move, dropping to his knees and attempting a double leg takedown on Windsor, who blocks it by standing upright and holding him about the waist. Simon digs into his power and drives him upward with his strength, only managing to move him back. Windsor then pounds on Simon with forearm blows to the back, finally getting Simon to release the hold before he throws a clothesline, Simon ducking and attempting one of his own, which he misses as Windsor ducks.
Hitomi: Nice catch as catch can display by Windsor and Simon
Kiyashi: Lets see how things degenerate between these three
Upon Simon missing his clothesline, he is caught in a belly to belly set up by Carl Kimball, who snuck in from nowhere. He then tries to power Simon up, Simon blocking Kimball's suplex with his foot and quickly turning it into a sideways body toss to the mat, Simon chaining that toss into a reverse headlock, cranking on Kimball as he tries not to give up. Simon then release the headlock and floats over to the leg of Kimball, taking one as Windsor comes in and takes the other. They both look to each other, both men turning Kimball over and taking a leg, each one sitting back and pulling on a leg as they execute a double Boston Crab on the hapless Kimball, the fans clapping for what they've seen so far.
Mori: Double Boston Crab by Windsor and Simon, the fans seem to be enjoying this display.
Kiyashi: The fans may be motivation, but they are not what gives the win Mori. Remember, it's not how many touchdowns during the game...it's what's on the score board that counts.
Mori: There hasn't been much on your "score" board in awhile eh Kiyashi?
Hitomi: One for Mori.
Both men crank up on the legs of Kimball, the referee not knowing how to call this unusual hold as Kimball is writhing in pain. Windsor looks over to Simon and throws a hard right hand, Simon falling from the blow and losing the hold as Windsor releases his leg as well, leaping up and dropping an elbow on the downed Simon. Grabbing him by the hair, he lifts up Simon and set him up for a backdrop, but suddenly, Carl Kimball sneaks up behind Windsor and sinches him in a backdrop set up as well. Carl lifts up at the same time Windsor was lifting up, Simon and Windsor high up before BOTH men come crashing to the ground with that unusual double backdrop, Kimball feeling the least of the impact. More claps fill the arena and the roar of the crowd follows as the crowd watches on at this heavyweight 3 way.
Mori: INCREDIBLE DOUBLE BACKDROP RIGHT THERE!!
Hitomi: They've all come here to win Mori.
Mori: It's a shame only ONE can win.
Kimball shakes his head, slightly groggy from the move as he picks up a limp Steven Windsor, pummeling him a few times with right hands until he is backed in the corner. Kimball then proceeds to deliver a series of back elbows, snapping Windsor's head back with every impact before Kimball kicks him in the stomach, bending Windsor over.
Hitomi: This can't be good...
Kiyashi: It can't be good for Windsor...but it's great for Kimball.
Hitomi: You sure know how to be a prick about everything eh Kiyashi?
Mori: I'm telling you, a good geisha would clear all that up for him.
Kiyashi: Keep it up Mori...
Mori: And maybe a couple of kilos of Sushi from Morishigi’s House of Sushi as well.
Kiyashi: Mori...
Kimball then sticks Windsor between his legs, setting him up in a powerbomb position before lifting him up, holding him high in air before tossing him back first into the turnbuckle as Windsor crumples within it, Kimball adding a few stomps for added pain.
Hitomi: Windsor has got to be CRUSHED by that turnbuckle powerbomb.
Before Kimball can get in any more offence, Brian Simon gets behind him grabs at his legs, taking Kimball down face first to the mat. Simon then floats over, locking his hands around the waist of Carl Kimball and using all his strength to lift him up and drop him with a German suplex, the ref jumping down to count, but Simon stands back up, picking up Kimball as well with the lock still in place as he German suplexes him YET again, this time bridging for a pin.
Hitomi: 1...2...NOO!! Broken up by Golden Bear!
Mori: Quite impressive series of Germans there.
Windsor begins to trade blows with Simon, both throwing punches repeatedly at each other as they both rise to their feet. Once both are standing on their shaky legs, Simon throws a palm strike to the face of Golden Bear, who ducks it and grabs around the waist of Brian Simon with his head still down, powering him up and tossing him over with a release Northern Lights suplex, Simon slamming against the mat and holding his back in pure pain. Windsor seems to be getting his second wind as he then pounds away on the face of Simon with punches before lifting him back up, slinging him into the ropes and upon him returning, pressing him high into the air, showing off his strength to the fans who "oooo" and "ahhh" at ringside as he holds up Simon effortlessly.
Mori: What a strength display by Steven Windsor.
Kiyashi: I almost feel sorry for the nasty spill Brian Simon is about to
take...keyword is ALMOST though.
Hitomi: Have you no shame Kiyashi?
Kiyashi: Have you no brain Hitomi?
As Windsor asks the fans where in the ring he should drop Simon, who screams in fear of the drop he knows he shall take, Carl Kimball sizes up Windsor and throws a picture perfect superkick he calls the Kimball Kick and connects right with Windsor's jaw, Windsor toppling over with Simon falling on his wide chest, making it an inadvertant splash due to Kimball's interference. The ref counts the pin for Simon, who hooks the legs for the pin he now has
Hitomi: 1...2..NO HE DOSEN'T HAVE IT!!
Kiyashi: Smart of Simon to take advantage of the pin, even though he didn't get it.
Kimball grabs Simon around the neck and raises him up off of Windsor, placing his hand on the British Brawler's back and lifting him up high for a chokeslam, Simon's feet dangling in the air, but before Kimball can even drive down, Simon swings himself over and reverses it into an elevated armdrag, Kimball hitting the mat with great force with Simon chaining that reversal into a Fujiwara armbar, Simon pulling back mercilessly on the arm he now has and not willing to let go until he hears the tapping of Kimball, the ref checking the hold.
Mori: Incredible reversal by Brian Simon, his shoot fighting background really helped in that situation.
Kiyashi: Question is, can he make Kimball tap?
Simon continues to hold the submission, Kimball slowly crawling for the ropes as he yells and screams in dire pain, his breaking point close to being met at anytime. Kimball throws his hand out, just making the ropes with his fingers as the ref orders Simon to break the hold. Reluctantly, Simon releases the hold as he dashes over to the turnbuckle, climbing it and awaiting Kimball to arise. Like clockwork, he soon does, Brian Simon leaping off for a sunset flip off the top and nailing it, but Kimball fights falling down from the move, wailing his arms about so he can keep his balance as Simon fights it. Suddenly, Steve Windsor NAILS Kimball with his patented big boot called the Nightlight, Kimball's head cocking back before the power of the boot sends him over and on his back as the strength from that boot topples Windsor over, unable to get up at the moment. Simon holds the sunset slip pin as the ref makes the count, along with the hot crowd, but suddenly Steven Windsor rolls and reverses the pin!!!
Mori: 1...2...3!!! AMAZING WIN FOR STEVEN WINDSOR HERE!!
Kiyashi: I don't like the guy, but he showed that taking advantage of the situation can win you the match.
(( PURE Ikusa is brought to you by Maxis Inc brand products. Who are we? You’ll soon find out...))
Mori looks confused at the last commercial.
Mori: I didn’t pay for that advertisement.
Kiyashi: Strange indeed.
Asami: We have an excellent match approaching right now. The next match is a triple threat match in a part of the PURE Jr. Heavyweight Tournament pitting three of our gaijin wrestlers against each other! You can definitely expect some of the Western style of wrestling in this match!
Mori: The End’s half Japanese, so what does that make him?
Kiyashi: A half-breed...technically speaking.
Asami: (sighing) Let’s hand it over to Hanza Kibagame for the announcements.
The PURE ring Hanza stands in the middle of the ring, dressed in black slacks and a white dress shirt and tie. He adjusts his glasses before clearing his throat and lifting the microphone to his face.
Hanza: Ladies and gentlemen...the next match is a triple threat match in the PURE Jr. Heavyweight Title Tournament!! I am your Hanza , Hanza Kibagame, and this match will be refereed by official Taki Kuonji!!
“All Along the Watchtower” by Jimi Hendrix plays as Billy Larkin walks down towards the ring. He waves to the audience cheering and clapping for him as he slides into the ring and bounces off the ropes.
Kiyashi: Larkin’s music is by Jimi Hendrix, a legendary rock artist over in the states, he’s very popular with the conservatives.
Mori: Not to mention the pot smokers.
Asami: Shh!
“Infected” by Bad Religion plays next, and the masked Ebola III comes walking out next. He receives a gradual acceptance as he climbs into the ring and stands in one of the open corners.
Asami: Ebola III is here in PURE to prove something to himself. His father and uncle have been shunned in Japan, and he’s here personally to overcome his tarnished past.
Ebola III’s music cuts as “Organism” by Tommy Guerrero plays over the speakers. Out walks The End, calm and focused. He pays little mind to the fans as he jumps on the apron, and flips into the center of the ring with a high angle springboard back flip. Then he backs into his corner and begins stretching.
Mori: The End’s one strange individual.
Kiyashi: He’s from PCW...they accept all kinds there.
The audience simmers down as Hanza begins to introduce the competitors.
Hanza: First...hailing from Des Moines, Iowa, USA...weighing in at 213 pounds...BIILLLLY LARKIIIINNN!!!!
He steps out of his corner and raises his hands to the cheering crowd.
Kiyashi: Pounds? That should be kilograms.
Mori: Kayfabe!
Asami: What?
Mori: (shrugs) I don’t know...they say it in PCW when someone steps out of line.
Hanza: Next competitor...from Tucson, Arizona, USA...weighing in at 210 pounds... EBOLAAA III!!!
Ebola steps out and holds his fist up to the people, a clap of appreciation for him.
Mori: Not much of a cheer for Ebola. There’s still some people who can’t forget about what his family’s done here in this sport.
Hanza: Last competitor...weighing in at 224 pounds...THE ENDDD!!!!!
End bows in his corner before adjusting his mask. Hanza climbs out of the ring and the bell rings. All three competitors stand there in their corners staring at each other, watching each of their movements.
Kiyashi: Looks like we may have a stand off here.
The audience begins clapping in unison, hyping up the already intense atmosphere. There are a few chants for the wrestlers as they pace around the ring looking at each other carefully. With a few final screaming from the fans, Ebola and Larkin look to be ready, raising their hands for the fight. The End stands there with his arms folded about his chest watching. Then to their surprise, he climbs out of the ring and stands nearby. He motions for them to begin, Larkin and Ebola looking at him confused.
Asami: What’s End trying to pull here?
Mori: He’s showing some respect to allow Larkin and Ebola III begin the match one on one. That’s admirable.
Kiyashi: But when’s he going to become a part of this match?
Larkin and Ebola shrug as they begin circling each other. The two of them shake hands, drawing a small applause before they lock up. Ebola slides in with a side headlock wrenched in on Larkin, using his slight height advantage to wrench in on his head. Larkin slips around and locks in an arm lock on Ebola. Ebola reverses, and then twists underneath in an arm wrench. Larkin rolls out of the twist and positions Ebola on his shoulders, throwing him over with a fireman carry and standing back to his feet. Ebola however lands on his feet and jumps around to meet Larkin’s face, both men with their guards up. The audience claps as both men begin circling around the ring again. Outside, The End nods his head slowly.
Kiyashi: The fans know how to appreciate a show of skill between two men. Billy Larkin and Ebola III are indeed skilled men, so we’re in for a treat.
Ebola and Larkin lock up again, this time Larkin throwing Ebola over in a hip throw. He holds onto his head and locks in a sleeper, but Ebola reaches up with his legs and wraps them around his neck. He pulls Larkin down in a leg scissors sleeper hold, and leans over on his side to apply pressure, drawing a grunt of pain from him. Larkin tries to roll over, his body elevating in a handstand. Ebola grabs the sides of his waist and bounces his head into the mat, knocking him over onto the mat.
Asami: That mini-piledriver was enough to knock the fight out of Larkin for the moment!
Larkin stumbles to his feet and into the corner, where Ebola follows and elbows him on the side of his head. Then he grabs him and carries him out of the corner before hitting a sidewalk slam on him. He makes the cover as referee Taki Kuonji drops to make the cover.
Taki: ONE...TWO...
Larkin kicks out before Taki can count to three. Ebola stands back to his feet and grabs him by his head. Larkin takes the opportunity and hits a jawbreaker on him, knocking Ebola back into the ropes. Larkin then proceeds to deliver some chops to Ebola’s chest before dazing him with a hard European Uppercut. Ebola bounces off the ropes, and Larkin hits him with another Euro Uppercut.
Mori: Billy Larkin has some powerful uppercuts there!
Larkin swings forward with another uppercut, but Ebola ducks and hooks his arms around his, twisting and pinning Larkin down with a backslide pin.
Taki: ONE...TWO...
Before three, Larkin manages to kick out. He rolls onto his knees as Ebola comes over and stomps on his back. Then he picks him up and whips him towards the corner. Larkin reverses, and drives his knee into Ebola’s gut when he comes back. Then he reaches over and hits him with a professional looking vertical suplex. He goes down and hooks the leg.
Taki: ONE...TWO...
Ebola gets the shoulder up. Larkin backs off as Ebola rolls back to his feet, shaking the pain away. On the outside, End watches intently, no emotions showing through his mask.
Asami: The End should get involved in this match! If he stands out there too long, he may lose the match when Larkin or Ebola pin the other!
Ebola and Larkin lock up again, but Larkin whips Ebola towards the turnbuckle. Ebola reverses, and sends Larkin hitting the corner. He turns around and runs for Larkin, but Billy gets his feet up and kicks him in his face. Ebola III falls back to the mat as Billy Larkin climbs on the top turnbuckle. Before Larkin can jump off, Ebola runs at him and knocks him over the top rope to the outside with a flying dropkick!
Mori: Ebola’s knocked Larkin out of the ring! But End’s out there waiting for them!
End walks slowly towards Larkin as Ebola crawls to the center of the ring. A few boos draw up, the fans thinking he’s about to do something underhanded. As End picks up Larkin, Ebola stand up and bounces off the rope. Just as he flies out of the ring with a running plancha, End whips Larkin into the ring! He looks up just in time to catch Ebola, and both men go hitting the mat!
Kiyashi: The End just threw Larkin back into the ring, but his honor came with a price as Ebola III hit him with the splash on the outside!
Asami: Ebola thought End was holding Larkin up for the splash!
Larkin looks out to End and Ebola laying on the outside in pain as he stands to his feet slowly. End and Ebola begin to stand up, and the first thing Ebola does when he’s back up is question The End. End shakes his head like he’s innocent, but Ebola nods, saying something about getting in the way.
Asami: Looks like End and Ebola are about to start fighting on the outside!
The larger gaijin holds up his arms in protest, both of them paying no mind to Larkin bouncing off the ropes. Then just as Larkin dives through the ropes, End dives out of the way! Billy Larkin tackles Ebola to the ground as End slides into the ring!
Mori: Now Larkin’s taken out Ebola!
Kiyashi: You know what’s next!
End looks down at the two fallen opponents before backing away from the ropes. Then he runs for the turnbuckle and leaps off in a 360 moonsault onto both Billy Larkin and Ebola III!!!
Asami: Cyclotron on both Ebola and Larkin!! End’s officially involved in the fight!
Mori: About time!
Taki begins to count on all three men as they laid stretched out on the outside. The End is first to get back up, pulling Ebola up with him and throwing him into the ring. He lays in some boots to his back before picking him up and whipping him into the ropes. Then he powerslams him, sitting him back up to nail him with a spinning kick to his face and a standing Shooting Star Splash!
Mori: 40 Days!
Larkin comes running into the ring to break the count, but End jumps up quickly and grabs him, hitting him with a falling powerslam. Then he chains that into a fallaway slam, and then a standing moonsault.
Kiyashi:...and 40 Nights!
Taki only gets to mid two count as Ebola breaks the count with a kick to End’s back. He whips End into the ropes and decapitates the six-foot-eight cruiserweight with a 360 flying leg lariat!!
Asami: Latino Leap!!
As Ebola gets back up, Larkin grabs him quickly and flattens him with a huge Release Northern Lights Suplex! Then Billy runs up the nearest turnbuckle and flips off with a moonsault onto Ebola! Taki makes the count...
Taki: ONE...TWO...
Suddenly, End flies in from behind with a stomping moonsault into the back of Billy Larkin!! End staggers into the ropes from performing the Burning Wheel as Larkin falls besides Ebola. End then climbs the top rope with his back towards Larkin and Ebola. He leaps back and performs the Cyclotron again!! Just then, Ebola gets his knees up, and End’s chest makes contact. He rolls over, howling in pain as Ebola stands back up and sends him to the mat with the Vertebreaker he calls Contagion!
Kiyashi: Ebola’s taking control here! He’s going up to the top rope!
Ebola yells out, drawing a cheer from the audience before he soars off with a twisting somersault leg drop!! His leg makes contact with End’s throat, snapping his body off the mat. Ebola pumps his fist into the air as he climbs back up to the top rope.
Mori: That could be the signal for the Terminal Velocity! Can he pull it off right after performing a Next Generation?
Ebola stands tall on the top turnbuckle and prepares himself to fly off with the Shooting Star Senton. All of a sudden, Billy Larkin rushes across the ring and jumps in front of Ebola. He punches him in his gut a few times before standing on the top rope with him, hooking his leg, and crashing back into the mat with a tremendous Fisherman Superplex!! Larkin rolls over and locks in a Triangle Hold Armbar, ref Taki immediately going to check on Ebola to see if he submits or not.
Asami: Did you see that top rope Fisherman Suplex??? Amazing!!
End notices Larkin across the ring with the submission and dashes to make the save. He kicks him in the back of his head before putting him in a sharpshooter!! Ebola rolls back up and dropkicks End in his face. Then he grabs him and locks him into the Sleeping Sickness, a Sleeper/Mexican Surfboard combination! End shifts his body weight and falls into the ropes immediately. Ebola gets back up and stretches a bit before he waits for End to get back up. Once he’s back upright, Ebola grabs him and whips him into the ropes. End reverses and sends him bouncing off instead. He leapfrogs over Ebola as he comes running back, but behind End, Larkin stands ready in a charging stance. As Ebola comes running back, Larkin charges for the back of The End. Just then, End leaps up and nails Ebola with a leapfrog ear-clap kick! Larkin misses End and instead spears Ebola III to the mat!! End lands on top of him and rolls onto his chest, leaving all three men stretched out in the middle of the ring!!!
Mori: What a collision from these gaijins! I told you we were going to see some intense fighting from these three!!
Asami: No you didn’t...I said that!
Kiyashi: Someone said it...it doesn’t really matter who said it!
Referee Taki Kuonji begins to count, all three men stirring back to their feet. By the time Taki reaches seven, Larkin is back up next to End and both men are trading punches back and forth with each other. Larkin misses a punch, and End spins him around so that his back is facing him. Then he hops up on his shoulders and flips him over with a headscissors takedown! Larkin slides out of the ring as Ebola grabs The End from behind and hits him with the Sandusky Slam!! He goes for the pin, but Larkin pulls Ebola out of the ring. The two punch away at each other until Larkin grabs hold and whips him into the steel post on the corner of the ring!
He climbs back into the ring and dropkicks End back to the mat. Then he picks him up and plants him into the canvas with a sitout piledriver!!
Asami: LARKIN BOMB!! LARKIN BOMB!!!!
Taki begins the count, and just before the three count, Ebola dives into the ring and breaks the count! Larkin stands back up to clothesline him, but Ebola grabs him and hits him with the Death Roll in the center of the ring!! He hops up to the top rope and signals for his finisher…then leaps off and hits Larkin with the TERMINAL VELOCITY!!
Mori: Ebola nailed him with the Terminal Velocity!! This one is over!!
Taki: ONE….TWO….THRE~~
End suddenly drops a stiff elbow onto the back of Ebola’s head. Ebola rolls out of the ring as End picks up the remaining Larkin and hits him with the ONE LAST TIME!! He then hooks his arms around him and locks in NEVER AGAIN!!!! Taki checks on Larkin as he screams out in pain.
Mori: The End has Larkin where he wants him! He’s got the win!
Kiyashi: Hold your horses!! Look!
Ebola climbs up to the top rope as End sits with Larkin locked in the Never Again. Then he takes a flying leap and hits TERMINAL VELOCITY on Larkin!!! End for a quick cover on Billy Larkin....
Taki: ONE….TWOO….THREEEE!!!!!
The bell rings as Hanza announces the winner. The fans all stand and applaud the winner as End’s hand is raised by referee Kuonji.
Hanza: The winner, and advancing in the PURE Jr. Heavyweight Title tournament…THE END!!!!!
Kiyashi: End slides in with an excellent debut win over Ebola III and Billy Larkin. Let’s see if he can continue his success in the next round of the event.
Asami: But the next match should be just as great after that impressive debut from all three, we can surely expect even greater things.
Mori: We’ll have to wait! We have to cut to the commercials!
((Commercial: PURE Presents Ikusa II coming April 29th to your television sets.))
The scene opens up to the infamous press conference room. There aren't as many people standing there as normal because of the matches in the ring but people fille it up slowly. Up at the podium is a man who looks ready to talk. With about ten and some people, most of which are journalists or news crew gathering in the room, the man talks.
Man: Let's give a welcome to the first known tag team that is contracted to PURE, please welcome Take and Sakato Nazaki which form Team Okiki, or "Blazing Fire"!
There is a rustle from the curtains behind the man until two men in about there young twenties come out from the curtains.
One of the men, the younger one is Sakato Nazaki. Sakato is twenty or twenty-one, something in there. Sakato has spiked hair that is about four or five inches in the air. It doesn't look like a freak but a normal hair due for him. Sakato's hair is a light blonde, like a white colour but more of a blonde. He has one of two little strands that are a darker colour that can only be seen from up close on Sakato. Sakato doesn't have freckles on his face but his look says that Sakato is a rough neck and no book-reader. Sakato has blue eyes with normal eye brows. Sakato's lips are normal and he is nicely shaven. Sakato is wearing a brownish blackish goldish mesh shirt that has fish nets that you can see his body and through his shirt is a tattoo in gold lettering that stands out that reads "Bitch". Without a belt or anything, Sakato wears some beige baggy pants that have two almost like skinny ropes hanging down as Sakato moves from side to side. Sakato is wearing some sandals, regular Japanese wear. Sakato wears a happy but confident face as he walks to the table to sit down.
Beside Sakato is his brother, Taka Nazaki. Nazaki is about twenty-three or twenty-four, a couple of years older than Sakato. Taka has combed back blonde hair like Sakato. It looks as if Taka had the same spiked hair as Sakato but it was combed back and then parted into two parts, like a wedge. Taka's hair is the exact same blonde as Sakato and he has a couple more brown streaks in his hair that is ferally noticeable. Taka has a couple of freckles on his face, probably from being the few years older than Sakato but it isn't too much. Taka has green eyes that are kind of calming, yet mystical. Taka has a bit of a hair growing around his face, probably from not shaving for a day or two but nothing major. Taka is wearing the same mesh t-shirt with the fishnet holes in it but for some reason it doesn't look like the shoirt suits Taka as much as Sakato, like Taka was made to wear it or something. With that, Taka wears some thin, blue pants. They look like thin jeans but are really thin pants with the same two string's hanging out like Sakato's, the latest fashion for them or something. Taka has a more focussed and mature look than Sakato, like that of a book worm.
Sakato and Taka sit down on the two chairs behind the table as the very few news reporters shuffle there papers and get ready to write for a newspaper or anything they are taking notes for. After a brief moment, the man that talked before talks again.
Man: Well, for those of you who are here, please welcome......uh....Team Ikiki!
From at the table Sakato looks a little pissed off and stands up.
Sakato: Yo man, sup! It's Team Okiki, get it straight bradda or I'm gonna make ya remember it!
The man blushes a bit and then nods while going off the little platform stage as a reporter who is Chinese puts his hand up.
Taka: Uh....yes?
Reporter: Hello, I am Kobe Kentaiya from the Chinese International puroresu magazine and I was wondering if you could tell us your names and age and stuff.
Sakato and Taka look at each other and being a little polite, Sakato nods at Taka, telling him to go first.
Taka: Well, I am Taka Chintaru Nazaki and I am twenty-four, the oldest between us. I work part time and whenever I can at the Japanese fish council.
The reporter writes some thing on his paper and when he is done, he looks back up at the stage as Sakato speaks.
Sakato: Ya dude, I'm Sakato Mingatu Nazaki and I am the younger one of us two and of course the cooler one! I don't work part time at anything besides wrestling and I song write, chink!
Taka looks at Sakato in disbelief and whispers into his ear.
Taka: Sakato! You don't call a public Chinese reporter a chink!
Sakato: Well I was gonna call him chubby cheeks but I figured he wouldn't like that.
Taka: And you think he likes being called a chink!
Sakato: Why not? That is a COOL name!
Taka: Try not to embarrass us as always!
Taka then takes his mouth away from Sakato's ear and looks back up as another reporter puts up his hand.
Reporter #2: What are your plans for this fed?
Taka and Sakato look at each other as if to be silently arguing over who's going to answer when Sakato talks first, making Taka hope that Sakato won't screw anything up.
Sakato: Well, basically we want to hang out and beat up any team there is and maybe win the Tag Team Titles down the line and party along the way!
Taka breathes a sigh of belief when quickly another hand goes up and without warning, the man speaks.
Reporter #3: What do you plan to do right now because of the fact that there are no tag teams available that are known that have signed a PURE contract!
Taka: Well, we plan to...
Taka stops when Sakato suddenly stands up on his chair and steps onto the table!
Sakato: Just hold it my brother! There is no people in this room!
Sakato pans the room again to see a mere fifteen people in there.
Sakato: There has to be more people or why do we even come here? Come on peeps, get in here!
Sakato looks at the door where people pass it miscellaneously and Sakato goes.
Sakato: Fine, let me show you my latest song I wrote and maybe this room will come alive!
Sakato takes a big breath.
Sakato: Chingwaii Sako, tamo, laiye!
Ashget timbon, sheekokey!
Muta, fata, tajiray!
Chinta lafmo tako mai!
Some people pass by and stop at the doorway but don't walk in so Sakato sings the second verse to the song.
Sakato: Fetu asmo letfo chama
Kifmo tamfa hilto fama
Chat a'monte coma lata
Yantil Kanle getwa gwaita!
More people stand at the doorway so Sakato get's off the table and sits down in his chair and smiles, much to Taka's disbelief. As soon as Sakato sits down, the people standing at the door leave the room again and leave to wherever they were going.
Sakato: What! Come back damn Japs!
In almost like a joking rage and having some fun, Skato runs through the small aisle and out of the room. Taka in disbelief, waves to the people and walks off the stage to go find his brother as PURE Ikusa goes back to the arena!
Hitomi: Well let’s get right to our next matchup, which is the next match in the Junior Heavyweight tournament featuring Cege Heyabusa taking on former Primetime Championship Wrestling shining star, The HIT.
'Parabola' by TOOL begins to play over the system as the HIT walks out onto the entrance ramp wearing his brand new PURE getup, including his mask and cape. He makes his way down to the ring as we cut over to Hanza in the ring to make the announcement.
Hanza: Coming up is a first round match in the PURE Junior Heavyweight Tournament... heading to the ring now from Salt Lake City, Utah and weighing in at two hundred and twenty two pounds... THE HIT!!!!
‘It’s Going Down’ by the X-ecutioners begins to play as XWA member Cege Heyabusa makes his way down to the ring.
Hanza: His opponent, hailing from Chicago, Illinois and weighing in at exactly two hundred pounds... CEGE HAYABUSA!!!!
Cege and The HIT square off. The bell rings and the competition begins. The HIT scores the first blow with a bounce off the robes and then a 360 degree rotation followed by a vicious elbow strike to Cege’s head. Cege feels the impact and falls back.
Mori: This match starts off quickly, and the quicker it’s over, the quicker that I can go get something to eat.
Kobentai: Do you only think with your stomach?
Mori: Am I meant to be thinking with some other part of my body?
Cege gets up quickly, and runs at the HIT with ferocity. He nails a nice spear which places the HIT on his back hard. Then Cege turns him over, gets a leg locked, and bends forward in a brutal STF.
Hitomi: Quick thinking there by Cege.
The HIT doesn’t seem to be able to escape, but he pulls with all his might and gets a rope break. Cege releases the hold, being honorable, and allows HIT to get to his feet. HIT stands and pretends to be trying to regain his coherence, and Cege leans into see if he is all right, only to be hit with a right jab, a left cross, a left jab, and then HIT spins, catching Cege with a rotating backfist, the Order of Operations has been hit with harsh malice. Cege reels back and is dazed, but still standing.
Hitomi: HIT taking it right back to Cege right now.
Kobentai: I have been informed by our wonderful owner Mr Miyagawa that Cege is one of the Phantom Booker’s favourites.
HIT fires a well placed kick to the back of Cege’s knee, which crumples Cege down. Then he destroys Cege with a roundhouse to his temple, or at least an attempt which misses and hits Cege in the face. The Chicago Match is nonetheless effective as Cege doesn’t seem to be responding to reality well now.
Mori: Kicking all over the place.
Kobentai: You really aren’t that great at your job are you?
Mori: True. But come visit Mori Morishigi’s House of Sushi in your local area.
Kobentai: Gah.
HIT grapevines Cege’s legs and crosses his Cege’s arms across his face, and pulls back to complete his Indian Deathlock variation known as the Word Problem. Cege is numb with pain and can hardly even scream from the amount of pain he is in. He does not tap out. The ref gets very near Cege, asking if he wants to submit, but Cege does not. His face has become a deep shade of red from the loss of circulation and the pain of the move and he is nearly out altogether when the HIT simply releases the move.
Hitomi: This is being as close as we expect it to be.
Now HIT pulls Cege up by the rear of his head and places Cege in a half nelson chicken wing. He tries to lift Cege up for the Trigonometric Trapplex, but can’t do it because Cege musters the strength to pull himself down.
Hitomi: The HIT there going for one of his many, many...
Mori: Many... many...
Kobentai: Many... many...
Hitomi: Many signature moves.
HIT tries again to do the move, but Cege pulls himself down. HIT tries a third time, but this time, Cege elbows him in the side of the gut and hits a low spinning roundhouse to the shin of HIT. He then grabs the arm of hit and bombs him to the mat with an armbreaker DDT. The impact is tremendous. Cege takes the advantage and places a triangle scissors hold on HIT.
Hitomi: Cege is going technical.
Kobentai: This is Puroresu, it should be technical.
HIT is immense pain and struggles violently to get out of the move at first, but after a while, his attempts to escape level off, and he is almost out. However, with a final burst of energy, he jerks his leg to where it is under the rope and Cege has to release the hold.
Kobentai: But finally Cege manages to get his way out of it.
HIT stands up, with LOTS of effort, and the two lock together. HIT kicks Cege in the gut, and then moves around back to place him in a pumphandle position, then he pulls him up into slam position, and tosses him down with a michinoku Driver. This is known as the Parallel Bases.
Hitomi: The HIT there going for another one of his many, many...
Mori: Many... many...
Kobentai: Many... many...
Hitomi: Many signature moves.
Following this, the HIT ascends to the top turnbuckle, because Cege is basically out now. He extends his arms out, leaps into a Swanton, holding this position briefly. He continues rotating until he has turned 450 degrees, then jackknifes his body into a frog splash, landing on the victim. The crowd applauds and the ref begins the count as the HIT holds the press after completing the Four Thirds Pi Times Radius Cubed.
1….
2….
3….
The ref has the timekeeper ring the bell and HIT is awarded the match.
Winner: The HIT
Hitomi: The HIT there wins in an extremely hard hitting match.
Kobentai: It goes to show that knowing a lot of moves means that you have something for every occasion that you can possibly come up against.
Hitomi: Let’s cut to a commercial.
((Commercial: Blowfish half price now at Mori Morishigi’s House of Sushi Nationwide!))
Kobentai: You have no shame Mori.
Mori: I know, but it works for me.
Hitomi: Well next we have Dark Lotus versus Inphino Blitz versus Hiro Saotome.
'The End is the Beginning is the End' by the Smashing Pumpkins plays over the speakers. While the intro plays, the smoke fills the area. Then with the intro finished Inphino Blitz steps out through the smoke. He stops to look out at the people, cracking his joints before walking down to the ring. Before entering the ring, he climbs up on the nearest turnbuckle and roars out to hype the fans, his hands in a clawed form before his face.
Hanza: The following match is a four corners match set for one fall... heading to the ring at this time hailing from Sado Island, Japan and weighing in at two hundred and thirty nine pounds... INPHINO BLITZ!!!
“The Cynic Project” by Structure begins to play as the little known “Dark Lotus” Naekura Toryama makes his way out the back and down to the ring.
Hanza: His opponent, weighing in at two hundred and twenty nine pounds... DARK LOTUS NAEKURA TORYAMA!!!!
Hitomi: And remember that Umeshita although was scheduled to be in this match, is out with an injury he may or may not be ready for Ikusa II in two weeks time.
'Before Dishonor' by Hatebreed begins to play as Hiro Saotome makes his way out and down to the ring.
Hanza: Their opponent, heading to the ring hailing from Tokyo and weighing in at two hundred and thirty five pounds... HIRO SAOTOME!!!
Saotome and Lotus immediatly whip Blitz into the ropes, before hitting him with a double shoulder block. Saotome goes to cover, but Lotus pulls him off, smacking him in the back of the head repeatedly with his elbow as he does so. Saotome twists and hip tosses Lotus over Blitz. Lotus licks his lips and springboards off Blitz into a flying forearm, cracking Saotome right across the forehead. He lifts the much lighter Saotome up and powerslams him, right on top of the repeatedly laid-out Blitz. The ref counts, but counts for Saotome covering Blitz, 1… 2… but Lotus pulls Saotome off before the count is finished. Lotus grabs the ref and pushes him back shouting at him for making the count.
Mori: Lotus doesn’t seem to be too happy there.
Kobentai: Sorry, did someone say something.
Mori: Yes, I did.
Kobentai: You don’t count.
Mori: Why don’t I count.
Hitomi: Why don’t you women stop arguing and start commentating?
Mori & Kobentai: Women?
Saotome uses the distraction to dropkick Lotus in the back of the knee, sending him down to the mat as he loses his balance. Saotome quickly locks on a figure four leg-lock right in the centre of the mat, Lotus looks to Blitz to break the hold, but Stevens seems quite content to let Lotus stay in the move while he finally gets up off the canvas. Lotus starts to shout at Inphino for help, and he does eventually walk over to him, but grabs Blitz and slaps him in a sleeper, while he’s still in the figure four.
Kobentai: Respectable double teaming there, although I’m not sure who would get the decision if Lotus tapped out here.
Mori: Mori Morishigi’s House of Sushi, don’t forget!
Lotus elbows his way out of the sleeper, and throws Blitz at Saotome, who lets the move go. Lotus stands, obviously limping, and leans on the ropes for leverage. Blitz and Saotome back off to the other side, when suddenly Blitz DDT’s Saotome straight down to the mat, before trying to cover quickly, but Lotus breaks it up before the ref even gets the chance to count one. Blitz gets up and suddenly boots Lotus in the shin, and then uses a drop toe hold to send him down, face first into the mat. Saotome and Inphino each grab a leg, lift it up, and drive it knee first into the mat… and again… and again.
Kobentai: Ruthless... excellent.
The ref makes them back off before checking on Lotus, but he seems to be ok. He slowly gets to his feet as the ref keeps the other two wrestlers back, and leans on the ropes. The ref shouts for the match to continue, and Blitz charges right at Lotus, but he hooks him in the ropes and flips him over into a Texas hangman, choking the life out of him. Saotome runs at Lotus now, but he grabs him and gorilla presses him out of the ring, over Blitz, who the ref is helping flip back over. Lotus grabs Blitz by the body and flips him back out of the ropes, and into the ring. Blitz turns around and hits Lotus immediately with the BLACK DRAGON SMASHER!!!!
One...
Two....
Three!!!!
Winner: Inphino Blitz
As the referee stands holding Inphino Blitz’s hands aloft suddenly an Afro American man charges down the ramp behind them both and slides into the ring, and spears Inphino down to the ground before beating him ruthlessly with pounding fists to the skull. He stands back up and spits on Inphino and holds his arms up ruthlessly as he walks from the ring.
Kobentai: Who was that? That was not Puroresu.
Hitomi: I have no idea who that was. Maybe we’ll get some sort of word from Miyagawa later in the show.
((Commercial: Match Writers: Hopefully for Ikusa II they’ll be on time.))
Asama: What action we have had so far!
Morishigi: Ya, no kidding. I looked at it and I put it in my mouth slowly and munched on it, mm!
Kiyashi: This isn't a Japanese porn movie!
Asama: Whatever, perverts.
Ring Hanza : The follow match will be a one on one singles match and it is for the Junior Heavy weight title!
('Morbid Visions of the future' By Cradle of Filth plays as Jonathon Drachen enters the rampway slowly. He makes his way down to the ring as the crowd has a mixed reaction about him. He slides in the ring, very calm, the fans not knowing how much of a daredevil he can be.)
Ring Hanza : Making his way to the ring from Unknown, weighing in at 185 pounds, Jonathon Drachen!
'Around My Town' by Vietnamese Click plays as Charlie Loc runs down the ramp to a mixed reaction like Drachen. He slides into the ring, doing a small pose when he gets in. He stretches as the ring Hanza talks.
Hanza : And the other challenger, from Saigon, Vietnam, weighing in at 201 pounds, Charlie Loc!
Asama: There are the two competitors. Who will win?
Kiyashi: I would beat them both!
Morishigi: Which one likes food better?
Asama: Well, Loc has that cool mask and Drachen wears pure white for.....um... butter!
Morishigi: Mmmm, butter! Fattening!!
Drachen, suddenly breaks out of his calm motion and charges at Charlie Loc taking him down with a clothesline and then running up the ropes and landing on his feet, staring back at Loc!
Asama: I wanna learn how to run up the ropes!
Kiyashi: I already can do that!
Asama: Your lying!
Kiyashi: Nope, I'm the best!
Drachen, looking pumped, throws Charlie Loc at the ropes and on the return, Loc spins around and nails Drachen with a spinning heel kick!
Asama: Turning the tide! Loc just hit turning the tide!
Loc goes to work on Drachen, doing a couple of kicks to the head, dizzying him. Loc then spins around Drachen and nails a dragon sleeper on Drachen, what he calls "Eternal Rest".
Asama: Loc is going to win the Jr. Heavyweight title!
Morishigi: Mmm, Eternal Rest! Good chicken!
Kiyashi: No, that's the move Loc has on Drachen, idiot!
Asama: Ya!
Loc, flips Drachen up into a reverse brainbuster and nails Drachen back down on the ground! Loc, confident, goes up top onto the ropes.
Asama: Please tell me Charlie Loc isn't going for Rising Sun! He'll kill Jonathon Drachen!
Kiyashi: That will be exciting!
Loc jumps for the Rising Sun. Flipping over as Drachen moves and Loc slams the ground, flipping over and landing on his head!
Asama: Or maybe Loc will kill himself!
Kiyashi: That will teach him!
Morishigi: Good, he won't need to eat and I get more foooood.
Asama: I don't believe that is the point.
Drachen and Loc get up at the same time as they both punch each other and then lock up until Drachen jumps and nails a side kick!
Asama: Drachen can take control now!
Drachen throws Loc against the ropes but on the return, Loc dives and does a somersault on the ropes and bouncing back, he spins again and sprays some huge green mist at Drachen but instead, Drachen ducks and the mist nails the referee straight in the eye, taking him down!
Asama: The ref is down!
Morishigi: is that mist eatable?
Kiyashi: No, stupid!
Loc goes for a spinning kick again but Drachen grabs his foot. As Loc goes for the Enziguri, Drachen flips Loc upside down! Drachen runs at the ropes and flips off them, landing on Loc's shoulder as he get's up. Drachen brings down Charlie into a reverse hurricanrana into a pin with no ref there!
Asama: No, Drachen has this!
Kiyashi: But there is no ref, stupid!
Asama: That isn't the point!
There is dead pin covering for 1...2......3....4.....5.... until FINALLY the referee gets up, dazed to make the pin!
1.....
2.....
3.....!NO!!!!
Loc barely breaks the pin hold!
Asama: This match should be over but it isn't, thanks to Charlie Loc!
Morishigi: Stop whining! I'm trying to eat here!
As Loc stands up, Drachen kicks Loc in the gut, and then, without turning pulls Charlie down onto shoulder in a front stunner. Loc lands in a sit out position, and from there, Drachen hooks both legs and rolls over into a double leg cradle pin but Loc suddenly flips over into a pin of his own!
1.....
2.....
3.....!!!
Winner: Charlie Loc
Hanza : The winner of the match and moving on to the next round, CHARLIE LOC!!!
Asama: Wow, can this show get any better? Let's find out after the break!
Just before they cut to the break Drachen charges at Loc and clotheslines him over the ropes, both men hitting the side of the ring before finally landing on the hard concrete.. and they don’t get up.
Asama: What just happened? We’ll give you an update after the break!
(PURE Ikusa is brought to you by Japanese food: Soon, it will be gone.)
Hitomi: The most exciting match up tonight is going to be fought in a matter of seconds! Two of PURE’s biggest superstars both in and out of the federation will square off in PURE’s first ever, Main Event!
Kobentai: Rules are made to be broken, one of them will pull something, I garuntee it!
Hitomi: Hopefully this is a clean fought match as Kensuke and Miyagawa are going head-to-head to determine a winner for the Round One of the Jr. Heavyweight Championship Title.
Mori: I’ll be right back…food is calling!
The lights dim and a pale blue spotlight disperses over the crowd as "In The End" by Linkin Park begins to play over the P.A System. The spotlights continue to fan over the endless see of people before coming to a stop right in the center of the entrance way and the verse of the song fades out. BOOM~! Suddenly a pyro blows and the crowd roars as the chorus cuts in and Miyagawa appears with the spotlights shining on him with images of his victories play over the JumboTron.
With a look of concentration crossing over his face he walks silently to the ring ignoring the screaming fans as he climbs through the ropes with the spotlight still shining on him. He stands in the center of the ring and adjusts his wrestling gear before raising his hands and receiving a standing ovation before beginning to stretch.
Hanza : Standing in the center of the ring at a mere 5’10" and weighing in at 230lbs. The owner of PURE and the man who is planning on taking Asian Entertainment to another level, Alexander aka Isawa Miyagawa!!!!
There is another huge pop from the fans as Miyagawa continues to pay no attention to them, warming up and focusing in on his up coming match as the lights cut back in and he is left standing with a cheering crowd.
Hitomi: Alexander is looking in peak condition for this match, and it looks like he is determined to defeat his rival.
Mori: *Mmmrph* Yeah he’s looking good, but not as good as me *Mmmmrph*
Kobentai: He wishes he could weigh 300lbs….
Once again the lights dim and "Stuck In America" by Sugarcult hits the P.A system rocking the crowd in their seats as they all divert their attention to the superstar who is soon to arrive for his debut in the PURE arena.
Images begin to flash on the JumboTron as the words "Miya-Jobber" flash in front of them all and then a picture of Kensuke standing with his hands on his hips laughing can be seen behind it. There is a loud boo from the crowd as the music cuts and the images fade out as the arena once again plunges into darkness and silence.
Hitomi: Kensuke is either planning on making a big entrance, or he’s proving that he really is no match for Alexander but either way, he’s getting the fans in a frenzy!
Kobentai: All master-minds have a strategy, this is just the first phase of Kensuke’s!
Hitomi: Either way, he’s losing the battle Phsycologically!
BOOM~! A Pyro hits the arena and the theme music of Kensuke Suzahara hits the PURE arena for the second time in Ikusa. The boo becomes deafening from the crowd as the man himself appears on the entrance way, oiled down and ready to fight as he points to the ring at Miyagawa and laughs before shaking his head and running full tilt down the aisle, preparing to slide in underneath the bottom rope and face up to his opponent.
Hanza : Coming down the aisle, the "Falling Star" and the most hated man in PURE to date….weighing in at 222Lbs, Kensuke Suzahara!
Kensuke slides in underneath the bottom rope as Miyagawa doesn’t seem at all phased as the lights return to normal and the two begin to stare each other down, Miyagawa with a look of intensity and Kensuke with a sinister grin.
Ding~! Ding~! Ding~!
The ring bell tolls three slow times as the crowd roars and the familiar mist is pumped into the air to create the Main Event atmosphere as the two men in the ring continue to stare each other down, both as a sign of respect and as a sign of hatred.
Hitomi: Who will strike the first blow?
Mori: Has anyone seen a pair of chopsticks around here?
The crowd continues to work up as there seems to be no movement between the two superstars. After a while Kensuke looks towards the crowd as Miyagawa does not take his eyes off of him, before Kensuke smiles and the familiar grin widens on his face. He extends his hand to Miyagawa to be shook as Miyagawa continues to look at him. Kensuke nods his head towards his hand as Miyagawa finally negotiates with himself to accept the sign of respect and reaches out only to receive a harsh kick to the mid-section and a huge pop from the crowd.
Hitomi: Alexander being the respectful man he is, just accepted Kensuke’s offer and paid a price which could’ve just cost him the match!
Kobentai: Kensuke moving into attack mode, shifting into phase two of his plan! Ha Ha Ha
Kensuke begins to laugh but wastes no time as Miyagawa double’s over clutching his sternum before Kensuke does the splits and sinks an upper cut straight into his face before rising back up and watching Miyagawa dropping to the mat, the crowd begins to go absolutely insane.
Hitomi: Kensuke is just proving to the World and to everyone else in PURE that he can’t be trusted!
Mori: Ahh found them!
Miyagawa drops to the mat as Kensuke throws his hands in the air and begins to laugh before getting a loud boo from the fans as he shrugs and runs off into the ropes before coming back to the fallen Miyagawa at full tilt, to which Miyagawa slides underneath him, letting Kensuke continue his run back into the other set of ropes.
The crowd roars their approval as Miyagawa springs up onto his feet just in time to catch Kensuke who is now running back at him uncontrollably, before leaping and hitting a high Drop Kick connecting right into the chin of Suzahara. BAM~!
Hitomi: Smoothly and quickly executed Flipping Drop Kick by Alexander!
Kobentai: This is all apart of the plan…you will see!
The crowd continues to roar as Miyagwa waste’s no time and leaps onto the fallen Suzahara and locks on the "Divine Madness", to which Suzahara’s face twists into an expression of sheer pain, Miyagawa still keeping straight and focused. The Referee slides down next to Kensuke and begins to hit the mat, motioning for Suazahara to tap if he cannot bear the pain.
Hitomi: The Bow and Arrow submission has been locked onto Suzahara and it looks like he can’t take too much more pain from the look on his face.
Mori: Can this match just hurry up already? I need to get more Take-Away!
The crowd roars with a deafening silence as Miyagawa tries to maintain his composure as Suzahara tenses the muscles in his neck and begins to try and roll towards the ropes, a vain attempt to break the hold that Miyagawa has put on him. He rocks once, twice, three times before his forehead lands on the second rope and the Referee orders Miyagawa to release the hold.
Miyagawa responds and quickly rolls backwards and onto his feet as Kensuke latches onto the rope shaking his head and trying to get rid of the feeling of pain that he just experienced. The Referee moves over to Miyagawa who still does not take his eyes off of Suzahara who begins to pick himself up on the ropes before looking at him with a pissed of look on his face. Suddenly he charges and leap frogs over the Referee catching Miyagawa’s neck with a huge clothesline.
Hitomi: Yet another under handed move pulled by Kensuke Suzahara!
Kobentai: And yet another part to one of the phases of his master plan!
The two men collide with the mat as the Referee stumbles around in the background and Suzahara quickly gets back onto his feet. There is a loud boo from the fans as he runs to the nearby turnbuckle and jumps onto the second rung before leaping and flipping over into an Asai Moonsault in the direction of the fallen Miyagawa.
Kobentai: Now that is what I call a perfectly executed move my friend…
Hitomi: I don’t like to say this, but that is a text book Moonsault from Mr. Suzahara.
Mori: What was that? I missed it!
There is another loud thumping sound as Kensuke lands directly on top of Miyagawa’s chest laying atop him for the quick cover as the Referee runs over and slides down next to the two men and slaps his hand on the canvas counting the pin.
1…..
2…..
Miyagawa bucks and sends Kensuke flying off of his chest and over the other side of the ring, nearly hitting the Referee as the crowd goes into yet another frenzy! Miyagawa springs to his feet as does Kensuke and the two begin to eye each other down for the second time in the match.
Mori: Looks like Kensuke wants a piece of pie…err, Miyagawa!
Kobentai: Go back to stuffing you’re face!
Hitomi: This rivalry between Kensuke and Alexander is becoming very intense! This is going to be a match not to forget, nor to be matched!
In the ring Suzahara rears back as does Miyagawa and the two throw their arms atop each other’s shoulders and begin to lock up in the typical wrestling fashion. The Referee moves to a position where he can see that everything is legal as the two men begin to lock horn’s in the ring, the momentum moving back and fourth between the two.
Hitomi: Alexander with the upper hand!
Kobentai: No, Kensuke has it now!
Hitomi: I can clearly see that Alexander is gaining the edge of this grapple, I know what I’m seeing!
Kobentai: Well here’s a news flash for you!
Miyagawa drops back a little as Kensuke falls forward. Miyagawa then drops straight back onto his back and tucks his knee’s tight into his chest, letting his opponent fall atop them before pushing them out and sending Suzahara flipping in the opposite direction, letting him fall straight into the ropes as he catches them with his hands before gravity takes it’s toll and Kensuke flips over and falls to the outside.
The crowd stands in their seats and cheers as Kensuke lands hard onto the arena floor with a harsh cracking sound, slapping his stomach straight onto the concrete floor, clutching it in agony as Miyagawa looks at him upside-down with his position on the mat.
Hitomi: Alexander once again executes a breath taking maneuver,
Mori: I didn’t miss that one! Nice Irish whip by Miyagawa!
Kobentai: It’s Miya-Jobber and it was a Monkey Flip you idiot!
Miyagawa pushes himself to his feet in the ring as Kensuke finishes clutching his stomach and begins to groggily get onto his feet swaying from side to side, trying to regain both his balance and his composure as he scratches his head. The Referee runs over to the ropes and looks down to see if he’s ok as Miyagawa puts his head down and takes a deep breath.
Mori: I know that look…..he’s hungry! And so am I!
Kobentai: No, he’s planing something….i get it all the time!
Miyagawa looks up before putting his head back down and sprinting towards the ropes at which Suzahara is trying in vain to stand up behind. Miyagawa continues to run and just as he reaches the ropes he leaps and flies in between them, a suicidal attempt to nail Kensuke.
He connects and there is another loud slapping sound as the camera’s begin to flash high up in the rafters as he lands one of his signature moves, the "Catatonia".
Hitomi: Alexander has just evened the scores, it looks like Suzahara could be in a bit of trouble right now if he doesn’t pull himself together!
Kobentai: Master minds always have a back-up plan! Just you watch! It’s not over until the so called "Fat Lady" sings….or if it counts, the man sitting next to me!
Mori: You want me to sing?
Kobentai: How could they hire someone as stupid as you?!
The Referee slides out of the ropes as the crowd begins to really work itself hard as Miyagawa and Kensuke Suzahara land in a crumpled heap outside the ring. The Referee looks at both the men who are now sweating vigorously before shrugging and climbing back into the ring and beginning to make the count out.
1…..
2……
3……
4…..
5…..
6…..
The crowd begins to count along with the Referee.
Hitomi: Somebody please get up and keep this match alive! This is the Main Event, it can’t die this early!
Kobentai: Well it looks like it’s about to!
7…..
8……
The crowd becomes quiet as there is movement sighted between the two on the floor as both men wriggle around and Miyagawa rocks onto his feet before shaking his head and looking at the fallen Kensuke Suzahara next to him.
9…..
10…..
11……
12….
Miyagawa gets onto his feet and sways a little before climbing up the apron a little and then looking back down at Kensuke. He then hops back down to the floor and moves over to his crumpled body.
Kobentai: Get back in the ring Miya-Jobber! This is going to be the only way you’re going to beat Kensuke! So why not take it?!
Hitomi: What a show of sportsman ship!
Mori: *Mmmm* And what a piece of Fried Squid that just was!
Outside the arena floor the count-out continues as Miyagawa picks up Suzahara by the shoulders and then slings his body over his own and stumbles over to the apron.
13…..
14….
15…..
16…
Hitomi: Alexander is truly the best in the business! It’s a shame that other’s don’t follow his lead and take to being a great Professional Athlete!
Kobentai: You’ve cheated before! Don’t say you haven’t! All the great’s do it….including me!
With a huge heave Miyagawa flings Kensuke underneath the bottom rope sending him rolling into the ring before climbing the apron himself as the Referee stops the count at 17. Suzahara rolls over and begins to cough as Miyagawa climbs in through the ropes and begins to shake his head, trying to get his bearings straight.
Kobentai: Suzahara is playing possum….he has to be!
Hitomi: We’ll see if he is in a few moments!
Miyagawa stumbles around a little before moving over to Kensuke and reaching down and grabbing his hand before dragging him over, closer towards the turnbuckle. He looks up to the top of it and then judges the position that Suzahara is in before closing his eyes and telling himself what he has to do.
Hitomi: He’s going for the "Five Elements Frog Splash"
Kobentai: He’s going to get defeated, that’s what he’s going to get!
Mori: Did you mean Freddo Frog? Because I could sure go for one of those right now!
The crowd continues to hype up as Miyagawa takes a huge step over Kensuke who appears to be sleeping like a baby and slowly begins to climb the turnbuckle, pausing somewhere on his second to last buckle to look at the sea of fans in front of him.
Camera’s begin to flash and the teenagers and young children in the crowd begin a chant "MIYA, MIYA, MIYA" as the whole arena begins to support the Japanese-American Superstar. He shakes his head and continues his rise to the top and slowly turns himself around before clutching onto the top two ropes with both of his hands and just hover above Suzahara before taking a deep breath, releasing his grip of the ropes and standing tall.
Hitomi: This is the greatest moment in PURE’s history! Alexander could secure a spot in the second round of the tournament with this one move! This could also end a bitter rivalry between the two that has been around since they split from their team….
Kobentai: Kensuke has something planned….I can see it in his eyes!
Mori: His eyes are closed!
Kobentai: Go back to your food!
Everything seems to go in slow motion as the camera’s begin to flash their bright blue lights as Miyagawa leaps to be about 8ft off of the canvas and touches his legs before releasing them and spreading himself out like an eagle attempting to land his patented finishing move.
Hitomi: Here comes the final blow….
The fall seems to take forever as Miyagawa comes down atop of Kensuke, casting his shadow over the two as the Referee automatically senses the victory coming along and drops to the floor to prepare for the count when……
CRACK~!
The crowd begins to go insane as the chant fades out and Kensuke Suzahara somehow raises his knees into his chest, blocking the patented move by Miyagawa and clearly cracking his mid-section, maybe even fracturing the bone. The crowd doesn’t even seem to notice what’s happening as Miyagawa rolls off of his knees a look of sheer pain and terror crossing over his face as he flops down on the mat and Kensuke flips up with an evil smile crossing over his face.
Kobentai: It is now time for the finishing blow!
Hitomi: Alexander’s career could be over! He just landed onto a pair of knee’s with the full force of his body weight, I heard the cracking sound, he could be injured! I’m calling for the paramedics!
Mori: Yeah, and I just got a brain wave to call for take-away! Right after you make that call to the doctors!
Suzahara reaches down and grabs Miyagawa by the hair and drags him onto his feet as he is still bent over in pain clutching his sternum. He slices his throat and sends a hard boot into Miyagawa’s mid-section for good measure before picking him up and then nailing "The Stranger", square into the middle of the ring.
Hitomi: Paramedics are on their way! Alexander is defenseless in their, the match should be thrown out!
Kobentai: He hasn’t even cheated yet….this can’t be over!
As Miyagawa hits the mat hard Kensuke Suzahara gets up onto his feet as a look of sheer shock crosses over the Referee’s face and kicks Miyagawa onto his back, before placing his boot slap bang on the middle of his chest and then standing there looking at the crowd smiling to a chorus of loud boo’s.
1…..
2…….
3!!!!!
Ding~! Ding~! Ding~! Ding~!
Kobentai: Evil has once again prevailed!
Mori: Ahh! Here come’s my take away!
Hitomi: This isn’t something to be proud of! Alexander is hurt, he needs medical attention!
Inside the ring the Referee raises Kensuke Suzahara’s hand as Miyagawa clutches onto his chest in agony as a hot dog vender appears on the entranceway. He begins to stroll down the aisle as three paramedics also appear from backstage pushing a stretcher, they all rush down to the ring.
Hanza : Winner of this match and the man who moves on to the second round of the PURE Jr. Heavyweight Title Tournament….KENSUKE SUZAHARA!
The paramedics rush into the ring as Suzahara stands over Miyagawa yelling out abuse in Japanese and laughing as the crowd begins to boo. The PURE Credits flash up in the bottom right hand corner of the screen as the scene stick onto Miyagawa being loaded onto a stretcher.
Hitomi: More on Alexander will be reported when available! Until then, get ready for another issue of Ikusa in the week to follow as no doubt something big will happen! It already has…..
Kobentai: Evil shall always prevail, this is PURE Signing out until Ikusa II when we will have Tag Team action all over the place!
Mori: Finally! Some fast food! And don’t forget Mori Morishigi’s House of Sushi!
