OG-Joshi

OG-FPD Immortal

2011-12-12T23:08:00.003-05:00

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[John:] "And in dominating fashion!"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

*John looks down and appears ashamed.*

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

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

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

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

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

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

*Jean blushes*

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

*Jean kisses Luke on the cheek and he blushes*

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

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

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

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

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

[MJC:] "Why would Sandy-"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[John:] "And Kat?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

*Luke whispers to Jean and she nods.*

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

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

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

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

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

*The three laugh nervously and the match begins*

[John:] "What a finish!"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[John:] "You definitely seem pleased."

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

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

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

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

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

[John:] "Someone's excited!"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[MJC:] "Bring it on!"

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

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

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

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

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

*Jean laughs and then winks at John.*

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[John:] "Even bolder."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[John:] "Otherwise-"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[MJC:] "If necessary."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[John:] "Back so soon?"

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

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

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

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

[MJC:] "Very true."

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

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

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

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

*Jean makes 'choo choo' noises*

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

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

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

[MJC:] "Good nutrition, John."

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

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

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

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

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

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

[John:] "Wise choice."

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

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

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

Order of elimination:

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[John:] "Sorry, sorry."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[John:] "And Geese?"

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[MJC:] "Ouch."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

*Jean blushes and takes a deep breath.*

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[John:] "Heh."

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

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

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

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

[MJC:] "Curiouser and curiouser."

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

*A few laughs emanate from the crowd.*

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

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

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

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

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

He wants to become a Walker. Geese Walker."

*More ooh'ing is heard.*

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

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

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

[Kyle:] "But-"

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

*Kyle turns pale and falls to his knees.*

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Thank you,
- Orochi Geese

Amplitude - 7/2011

2011-07-06T21:48:00.004-04:00

OG-Joshi Amplitude: July 2011 - "BBQitude"

Location: The Amplitheater, Peter Venkman Memorial Arena, NY.

Amplitude is the last stop on the road to an unknown destiny for OG-Joshi. But while that may seem cliche, the actual name of the upcoming summer PPV is "Destiny Unknown!" Luckily, at least for those that get anxiety about leaving too much to chance, we will soon determine at least one match for "Destiny Unknown" as tonight we hold the semifinals of the #1 Contender tournament to the Amplitude Title. The winners of both matches will face each other at the PPV for the right to face Amplitude Champion Eris Byrne in the future.

We start tonight with another sign in the direction of the vast future: new wrestlers making their debut!! But to continue the theme of partial uncertainty, we still have no idea who both wrestlers are! We know that Yasuko Mizuki was signed to wrestle in this match but her opponent has remained a mystery. Yasuko, for her part, damning secrecy, has worn her heart on her sleeve in informing OG-Joshi and its fans about her life and career. She already has a large fan contingent due to her heartwarming/wrenching story and is primed to be a force in OG-Joshi.

But questions revolve around who her opponent will be, where she came from, and why Coach Carter has wanted to keep her secret. Luckily for us, this mystery can't continue for much longer...unless the wrestler wears a mask. Oh no, that would really prolong this wouldn't it?!

And Yasuko comes out first to perhaps the biggest show of applause a debuting wrestler has every gotten in OG-Joshi. There are also a lot of green armbands and streamers in the crowd and wow, the fans just threw them into the ring for Yasuko!! Yasuko looks shocked that she is getting so much support here! Streamers for her debut match!! She bows to the fans and thanks them when the music stops and lights go out. When they come back on, Yasuko is looking out to her opponent standing on the ramp.

.

.

YASUKO'S CHALLENGER!

It's Wongirland from the FPCPP! She is the newest member of the OG-Joshi roster and is apparently Yasuko's opponent for tonight. Rumor has it that Wongirland is the student of Wonderland, the former FPCPP World Champion and man who ended Orochi Geese's reign with that Title. So it's quite interesting that she has been signed to an OG-Joshi contract. And Yasuko knows she has a tall order in this match due to Wongy's training. This is a huge match for both of them to start their OG-Joshi careers and the fans are quite aware of this too through their excitement!

And if the fans were energized before, they are absolutely rabid after seeing this match! For two rookies to put on such a showing is a very good indication for their and OG-Joshi's future. Even Coach Carter has come out and given them both an ovation!

As for the match itself, Yasuko won with her very impressive finisher but not without a ton of effort from Wongirland and a number of near falls on her part. It was astonishing that Yasuko was able to kick out of Wongy's suplexes and it seemed like a tossup who would win this match, but Yasuko dug deep down to earn this victory in their duel debuts.

Wongirland (X) [Emerald Flowsion Kai - 19:27] (O) Yasuko Mizuki

*After Yasuko and Wongy go backstage, we see the Arctic Angels making their way to the ring. As usual, Teresa is bouncy and energetic, slapping hands and just generally having fun while Xouxou calmly slaps hands and makes her way into the ring; the latter is carrying a white teddy bear. Both of the Angels are wearing very distinct red and white attire, with none of their traditional black to be seen. After making her rounds on the outside, Teresa jumps into the ring with a microphone and proceeds to start things off in her usual way….

[Teresa:]You know, I might not show it too often but I really LOVE what I do!

*light laughter from the audience*

And although Xouxou usually doesn’t say it, she really loves what she does!

I’m not going to bore you guys with all of the reasons why we love this but along with getting to entertain each and every one of you people, one of the things we love the most is that this job truly lets us be ourselves. Believe me, not everyone can say that about their work.

If you hadn’t noticed, a big part of our identity lies in the fact that we’re both Canadians from places you’ve never heard of. That’s no knock on anyone but I bet the lot of you still don’t know where Dawson even is. That’s okay, if I hadn’t grown up there I probably wouldn’t either.

*Scattered laughter*

The reason we’re out here today is to honor the best holiday of the year, Canada Day! I bet you were wondering about our outfits. It’s not just every day that we wear these, so that should tell you just how special our celebration is! As second generation Canadians, it’s a very big deal for Xouxou and I so we wanted to share it with all of you. Now unfortunately, we’re a little late in doing this, but we really couldn’t come out here when there was no show, now could we? Well, I guess we could have, but it would have been awkward.

*Xouxou looks at Teresa in silent dumbfoundment*

Right…anyhow, now that I’ve had my annual beer run and Xouxou’s had her fill of sockeye and poutine (where she puts it all I don’t know)…

*Xouxou shakes her head, blushing mildy*

….we’ve decided that we’re going to close this year’s Canada Day celebration with the help of you guys. Now, even if you’re not Canadian, we still want you guys to feel special so feel free to just pretend it’s Fourth July; we’re pretty close on the calendar anyway, right? Hahaha Xouxou, you’re up!

*Xouxou takes the microphone from Teresa and in a voice that is every bit as calm and patient as one would expect of her demeanor, she speaks:

[Xouxou:]The last time we were out here, we unofficially introduced you to our plushie buddy N’usi so I suppose this is her official unveiling.

*Xouxou holds up the white teddy bear that’s wearing a Canadian Flag hockey jersey*

I have to admit, I think she’s quite cute. The reason that we, two highly competitive professional wrestlers, chose N’usi as our mascot is because she reminds us of home. While we love you guys to death and love being able to travel, having N’usi with us reminds us who we are, where we’re from, and that we’re out here to have fun. So now that you know who N’usi is and why she’s out here, I guess there’s only one thing to do in this celebration; RELEASE THE BEARS!

*At Xouxou’s command, dozens of miniature white teddy bears with emblazoned red maple leafs fall from the rafters onto the crowd below along with hundreds of red and white balloons, delighting the children in the crowd and eliciting applause and approval from the majority attendance*

[Teresa:]I guess Xouxou forgot to mention that N’usi had friends, haha! We want you to take N’usi’s friends home with you and whenever you take a look at them, we want you to think about not just the Angels who gave them to you but what the Angels represent. We hope you and your families enjoy them! Happy belated holiday to all of you!

*The music hits and Teresa and Xouxou make their way backstage, with Teresa slapping hands along the way and Xouxou waving N’usi above her head in salute to those who have bears. A good time was had by all...

Which isn't always an indicator of the good times to come. As the individuals who come out next appear none too pleased at the teddy bears and balloons that have blanketed this arena.

The Dod Squod: Raining on Canada Day Parades since 2011...or perhaps earlier!

Jane Dod spots a little girl sitting near the entry way. The girl just happened to be one of the lucky recipients of a teddy bear. But Jane grabs the bear and rips its head off!! That causes the girl to cry and former cheerleader Polly to frown. Polly then put the headless teddy bear around her own neck (piggy-back style) as she skips to the ring, popping balloons along the way as if she was playing hopscotch!

The fans don't know whether to be more offended by Jane's outright vile attitude or Polly's more playfully disturbing behavior, but they're certainly jeering their hearts out! The Dods make their way to the ring after popping every last balloon that happened to spill over to the ramp and the crowd is livid at this despicable display on this, the celebration of Canada Day!

And perhaps we're leading to a fan frenzy as none other then Lina comes out next! L-Section is freaking out and even though they didn't have streamers, they are throwing their clothing onto the ramp! This is nuts! And then Jenna Stone comes out and ramps the fans up even more! Lina and Jenna are as pumped up as ever to face the Dods. Lina is especially angry at the Dods for jumping her as she tried to come to Gutter's aid after their match against the Gymnasts at the previous show. Jenna helped Lina before any real harm could come to her but the Dods intended to powerbomb her off the apron and it's unlikely Lina took kindly to that.

Furthermore, Lina needs to win this match to get her conditional shot at the OG-Joshi Tag Team Championship at Destiny Unknown. Whether she picks Jenna or not to team with her on that show, Lina and Jenna must win tonight. If the Dods win, it could force a rematch with the winner going to the PPV. And that could very well happen. Lina and her various tag partners over the last few months have managed to beat some teams with very high chemistry. But the Dods do not merely have a close relationship, they also have main event experience and have held prestigious Titles: Something that Team Chuu Chuu and the Gymnasts have not. We know how dangerous the Dods could be, holding victories over some of the best teams in OG-Joshi. Lina and Jenna still have to be at their very best, separately and together, to have a shot tonight.

A HUGE win for Lina and Jenna!! And not only has Jenna helped Lina get her Title match, but Jenna also made a powerful case for herself to be chosen as Lina's tag title contending partner! Very few women hold any type of victory over Polly Dod, whether in singles or tag competition. But Jenna just used her high impact finisher to defeat Polly via pinfall and seal the victory for her and Lina.

And the Dods are too tired to even attack after this match which has allowed Lina and Jenna to celebrate in the ring. The fans are going nuts for both and L-Section is practically euphoric at the idea that Lina will be getting her first shot at an OG-Joshi Championship at Destiny Unknown.

As Lina is walking up the ramp, a teddy bear is thrown from the upper deck into her hands. This teddy bear is no longer wearing a Canada Day shirt...but an L-Section shirt. Lina doesn't know how to react and just walks backstage emotionless. Jenna gives the teddy bear to the girl near the ramp who earlier had her's stolen and destroyed by Jane. The crowd "ooohs" at the tender moment.

Lina/Jenna Stone (O) ["Powerstone Driver" - 23:42] (X) Polly/Jane Dod

*We go to commercials for LAWLiday 2011 and when we come back to the arena, it's time for intermission as we have reached the midpoint of the show. As the fans return to their seats after buying and consuming snacks, Coach Jean Carter comes out with a microphone.*

[Jean:] "Hi everyone! I hope you are enjoying the final Amplitude before Destiny Unknown!
Congratulations to Lina and Jenna for winning their match. I'd like to wish
Lina, and whoever her partner may be, the best of luck at the PPV."

*The crowd responds in kind with cheers for Lina, especially the
L-Section who MJC looks warily at as they are still quite boisterous right now.*

[Jean:] "We're now ready for the second round of the #1 Contender Tournament.
These will be our CO-main events of the night as they are equally important.
However, since we couldn't very well have both occur at the same time,
I flipped a coin backstage to determine who went on first. But the luck
of the draw will only take them so far as whoever ends up as the #1 contender
at Destiny Unknown will have earned it and be worthy Championship material.

[Voice:] "Did someone say championship material?"

*Eris Byrne steps out onto the ramp, the Amplitude title draped over her
shoulder and microphone in hand. She looks out over the crowd, brushes
an errant strand of hair from her face, and addresses Jean Carter once more.*

[Eris:] "Worthy? Give me a break. The only one I even know is Hello Kitty
Mask, and I beat her so badly that she won't even show her face anymore..."

[Jean:] "I'll have you know that Tigress Mask II has come a long way
since then. You shouldn't be rude about the mask legacy or underestimate-"

[Eris:] "Yeah, yeah. Whatever. What's important is that you haven't given
me a match all year, ever since I beat your little friend Gutter at
Ragnarok. And I'm not even due for the big show? I'm starting to think
you're holding a grudge, mic girl..."

*MJC looks a bit flustered*

[Jean:] "I've always shown you and your Title respect, Miss Byrne.
If I didn't, I'd hardly be holding this whole tournament to give
you a worthy contender. Now I'm not sure why you're out here right now-"

[Eris:] "Cool down. I'm just here to watch the show since there's nothing
else going on in this place. As for the PPV, don't worry yourself. I'm
sure I'll find some way to ... entertain myself."

[Jean:] "I think the next two matches should be more then ample
entertainment. Just make sure you watch them with your eyes,
and not your hands. Or else our next conversation won't be
as pleasant. Now if you don't mind, we have a show to return to."

*Eris smirks and gives Jean a lazy mock salute before walking down
towards the ring, slowing down occasionally to trade insults with some
of the many fans booing her. She circles the ring and heads over to the
time keeper's desk, taking an empty chair. She puts her feet up on the
table, drapes the championship belt over her legs, and leans back to
enjoy the co-main events.*

And we turn next to the first of those co-main events pitting Inza G. against Heather Heaton. Heather had the harder obstacle to get through in the first round, having a 20 minute war with Minerva. Inza plowed through Sandy Morton rather easily, which is far from the first time anyone has said that before. However with Heather's last two opponents being the violent Firefly and Minerva, it is quite likely that Heather is more fatigued then Inza. .

You wouldn't know it by looking at her though as she strolls down to ringside, accompanied by Rachel Sky, to audience cheers and catcalls. Heather enjoys the reaction and saunters down the ramp, seemingly ignoring Eris, but then instructs Rachel to keep an eye out for her. Rachel nods attentively and appears excited to be Heather's ring second tonight in this big match. Next, Inza jogs down the ramp as LOLCat follows. The two also get a lot of audience support. LOLCat wags his finger at Eris and says: "Dont be meeen to Jeen plz". Eris rolls her eyes and Inza smartly guides him away from Eris before her patience wears thin. Inza is full of energy tonight and shakes the hand of Heather, who seems to be looking Inza up and down and enjoying what she sees. She smirks and Inza begins to wear the same expression she used to have when she worked out with Holly.

Both women have about equal experience in OG-Joshi. Inza has the speed and agility advantage while Heather is the superior technical and submission wrestler. But both have a spark that delights the audience. Let's see which one of these charismatic young women can do it!

Inza attacked with near reckless abandon here and Heather did all she could do to slow Inza down. But it was simply not enough on this occasion. Heather was able to apply some of her signature submissions but it did not keep Inza down or winded enough to prevent her from going to her high flying arsenal. And after Heather could no longer resist Inza's attractiveness and proceeded to kiss her, Inza had enough and put Heather away with the same hurracarana she defeated Sandy Morton with!!

After the match was over, Rachel appeared to apologize on Heather's behalf for the kiss, despite Heather not appearing too regretful. But to confirm there were no hard feelings between the duos, Rachel happily shook hands with Inza, wished her luck, and petted LOLCat. LOLCat appeared to like Rachel and hugged her snugly, which prompted an eyebrow raise from Heather. Rachel got embarrassed when she saw Heather enjoying her hug a little too much, thanked LOLCat and went backstage. Eris appeared to be snoring throughout the post match segment.

Inza G. (O) [Hurracarana- 18:11] (X) Heather Heaton

Next up we have ~~Hello Kitty~~ Tigress Mask II facing off with Firefly. It is unlikely those two will have a match full of as much mutual respect as the one we just saw.. In fact, given how Tigress Mask II is a good friend of Jean Carter's, it's likely that Firefly will up the ante of violence. Firefly has pledged and delivered a one woman crusade against Jean Carter and anyone she is friends with. After defeating Heather Heaton and H. over the last few shows, Firefly has her sights firmly set on getting to the PPV and winning herself a shot at the Amplitude Title.

Tigress Mask II, comes to the ring first to a lot of cheers. The fans are even more in tune with TMII's spirit after seeing her defeat Lori Cuozzo in what could be considered an upset during the first round. TM II has an incredible level of momentum coming into tonight and really hopes to get to the PPV. But when Firefly comes out, it's made abundantly clear that this will be a rough road for TM II. Firefly doesn't waste any time and immediately gets into the ring and slaps TMII. The fans are infuriated but TM II doesn't back down like she used to in these situations. Instead, she chops Firefly right across the chest, causing the fans to cheer, and we get right into this match!!

Tigress Mask gave all she could and the fans are showing their support for her as a result. But it just wasn't enough. Despite her submissions, punishing suplexes, and an awe inspiring jump to the outside when she should have been completely drained of energy, Firefly hung on. And she could probably have chosen to pin TM II after that rebound DDT but snapped and put the boots to her! Whether she was frustrated at her resiliency throughout the match or just wanted to hurt her, the 'Garvin stomp' was put to effective use, causing the ref to call for the bell before severe damage was done to the vulnerable TM II. And there's good evidence of Firefly's malicious intentions given Firefly's immediate uranage on TM II after the bell!

Tigress Mask II (X) [Garvin Stomp- 22:15] (O) Firefly

Firefly is not letting up but luckily for TM II, Inza G. and LOLCat come to her aid!! They run Firefly off, who doesn't seem to keen on facing a 1 on 3, while Eris looks on smirking at the situation. Inza and LOLCat help TM II up and she doesn't appear to be too injured. Firefly goes up the ramp and glares at Inza G, furious that she got in her way. Inza returns the glare, just as angry that Firefly would attack someone after the match. Meanwhile, LOLCat asks Tigress Mask 'are u a kitty too?" Tigress Mask nods and LOLCat hugs her as well. The show ends with the final shot of Inza and Firefly staring at each other and then directing their gaze at Eris who is standing in the crowd and holding her OG-Joshi Amplitude Title belt high.

We'll see you at the Destiny Unknown PPV at the end of the summer!

Voltage - June 2011

2011-06-20T02:29:00.001-04:00

June 2011 Voltage

*Voltage starts off with the traditional pan around the audience while red and gold confetti falls from the rafters. The fans cheer loudly when the Orochi-Tron shows the matches for tonight:*

1: Team Chuu Chuu vs. Lina/Molly Cule
2: Tigerfly Sword vs. Avalon
3: Chanel/Lorelai vs. The Hellions
4. OG-Joshi World Title: Narai Kaeo vs. Ruby Moreno (c)

And we head to the ring where Team Chuu Chuu has already made their entrance to the delight of the crowd. Chuu Chuu came extremely close to becoming the new OG-Joshi Tag Team Champions at the previous Voltage but were finally defeated by the Reed Sisters. However, Chuu Chuu may have another chance to prove themselves tonight. While MJC had provisionally offered Lina and a partner of her choice a shot at the Titles at the PPV, the scenario that happens if Lina loses her matches is starting to take shape. If the Dods win at the next Amplitude and Chuu Chuu win tonight, we could be looking at a match between those teams with the winner to challenge the Reeds. But if Lina and Molly win tonight, and Lina and Jenna win at the next Amplitude, then Lina wll be guaranteed her Tag Title shot at the PPV.

And Lina seems to be quite aware of the stakes as she is incredibly intense coming out to ringside. She has chosen Molly Cule, a former opponent of hers, as her partner tonight. Lina defeated Molly during the first Orochi-O's TV of the year but clearly gained a lot of respect for her in their epic 20+ minute encounter. These two should be an interesting compliment in styles with Molly's quick technical moves supporting Lina's power and brawling skills. It is clear that Chuu Chuu have the speed advantage but Molly may be able to control them and Lina may just keep knocking them down repeatedly! However, Team Chuu Chuu have a knack for getting back up up no matter who is knocking tnem down (...down). And considering the teamwork advantage Chuu Chuu will have, Lina and Molly have a tall order ahead of them.

Let's get to the ring for the first match of the night!

And it appears that the key isn't continuing to knock Chuu Chuu down, but knowing how to hold them down long enough to defeat them! Molly did just that with her semi rare "Bombs Away" finisher! If she was aiming to win the match AND impress Lina, you have to figure that move was a good choice! Lina is going to need someone who can fend off the technical expertise of the Reed Sisters and Molly showed she has more then just a few tricks up her scientific sleeve. Now it appears Lina's only barrier to getting her Title shot are the Dods. But if Lina does win at Amplitude, who will she choose as her PPV partner? Molly Cule or Jenna Stone? Or someone else entirely?

Yaoi/Yuri (X) [25:40 - "Bombs Away!"] (O) Molly/Lina

We turn next to the latest match in a feud spanning over a year in OG-Joshi. Tigerfly Sword and Avalon have been warring since both arrived here due to tensions that carried over from their interactions in other promotions as well as the rivalry between Sword's husband Tiger Sword and Avalon's boyfriend, Julian Caesaro. While Avalon has made life difficult for Tigerfly Sword in OG-Joshi, Sword got a measure of revenge at the previous Voltage by knocking Avalon out and allowing her to be submitted by Xouxou Chen, Sword's partner in the match. But Avalon still holds a win over Sword in singles competition in addition to all the damage she has done in post match attacks and from sending Gabriella Breeze after her last year. Sword hopes to finally get this 1 on 1 victory here tonight.

Sword is out first and looks focused. She knows she can defeat Avalon after what happened at the last show, she just needs to get it done. Avalon comes out next without her usual swagger. She is clearly angry at being put to sleep in the tag match and wants revenge. If one didn't know any better, it would seem as if Tigerfly dominated this feud based on how angry Avalon is right now. Will this help her in ring performance or cause her to make a mistake? Let's find out!

And these two just put on their best match, together and overall, in OG-Joshi so far! While Sword gave her all and came so close with her suplexes, Avalon took this match after a concentrated attack on Sword's leg, ending with the "Southern Twist" finisher. While Tigerfly Sword is no doubt frustrated by this loss, she has to be proud of the quality of her efforts.

Tigerfly Sword (X) ["Southern Twist" - 19:03] (O) Avalon

Avalon goes up to Tigerfly who is struggling to get to her feet. It looks as if Avalon is actually respectful of the passion of Sword here and helps her stand up. Avalon holds out her hand but when Sword goes to take it, Avalon slaps her right back down to the mat. The crowd boos as Avalon mouths to Sword: "You're never gonna beat me." She then walks back up the ramp while laughing at Sword and taunting the audience. Medics come into the ring to check on Sword but she is able to leave the ring on her own power and does so to fan approval.

*We take a brief intermission and when we return, Yoshi Hattori is bouncing her way down to ringside with a microphone! She gets into the ring and the crowd is very happy to see her. She responds by smiling and doing jumping jacks.*

[Yoshi:] "I'd like to thank Coach Jean for allowing me to come out and say this to you all now. I have a lot of thanks to give to her and to all of you for strong supporting me over the last year. I am filled with great sorry that I was not able to truly thank you all before but Miss Matsuki wouldn't allow me. But she can't hold me back now or stop me from being true to myself.

And that means I hope you will continue to cheer for me...so that I can cheer for you all too!"

*Yoshi starts cheering for all of the fans and even gets up on the turnbuckles to celebrate the fans in each section. The fans cheer in return and it is clear Yoshi is having a lot of fun and is genuinely touched by her interaction with them. But then voices are heard from the entrance and it appears one team scheduled for our next match is already here: The Hellions.*

[Sako:] "I think I'm gonna be sick."

[Hae-Won:]: "We got a Keina clone out here thanking the fans for thanking her for thanking them..."

[Sako:] "And it sounds even worse if you try to make sense of it."

*Yoshi tries to ignore this but quickly exits the ring as they approach.*

[Hae-Won:]: "Yup, just as jumpy as a Keina clone too."

[Sako:] "Don't worry YOOSSHHHHIIII! We weren't gonna hurt you. At least not now, when we want to save our energy for the Xena and Gabriella clones. We just wanted to 'thank you' for your little display there. It got us angry enough to tear their faces off.."

[Hae-Won:]: "We'll let you go back to being the most extreme aluminum ninja or whatever."

Yoshi screams out "Elimininja" but the Hellions are laughing too hard to notice. Yoshi goes backstage dejected but the fans still applaud her which cheers her up a bit. She also passes by Chanel and Lorelai on the way backstage. Chanel shakes her hand while Lorelai pretty much ignores her and just points to the Hellions and makes a throat cutting taunt. Sako responds to this by making a "V" taunt accompanied by her tongue and is getting closer to Sandy Morton's antics then this narrator is happy with. But unlike Sandy, the Hellions can back it up in the ring.

In fact they have done just that: earning a big victory last year over the very dangerous team of Chanel Melendez and Lorelai. However, they have also lost to them. And while tonight is technically a tiebreaker, it was only granted by Coach as a further opportunity for the two teams to prepare for their next match together at the PPV. The winner of that tornado tag match becomes the new #1 Contenders to the OG-Joshi Tag Titles. While winning tonight wll certainly give one of these teams more momentum going into the PPV, it can also help fill out their gameplans. But when dealing with wrestlers of this level of intensity and violence, excluding Chanel, it's always possible that an injury can take place. And with the #1 contendership on the line, each team may want to try to soften the other one up for that match by going full steam tonight. And with what Hae-Won and Sako continue to say about Chanel and Lorelai, the latter duo may just want to smack the Hellions in the mouth regardless of PPV strategy. Let's get to the ring and see what these teams have in store for each other.

Seeing violence between these two teams is no surprise but the way it ended sure was! Chanel and Lorelai struck literal first blood by busting Sako, the Hellion powerhouse, open. This allowed them to control the vast majority of the match up until the end when Sako started to rally against Chanel. The hot tag to Lorelai is somewhat ineffectual against the momentum gathering Sako but Hae-Won had clearly lost her temper at that point. Rather then allow Lorelai back into the ring, Hae-Won bombards her AND Chanel on the outside leading to a countout!

Chanel/Lorelai (X) [Count-Out - 23:10] (O) Sako/Hae-Won

Even Sako appears a bit surprised at how pissed off the more reserved Hae-Won was and how that match ended. And Lorelai doesn't seem to want this encounter to end at all! Both teams appear even angrier at each other after the viciousness of this match and way it ended. It takes Genji Security to come out and separate them before they start their PPV Tornado Tag match early! Coach may have just turned a campfire into a conflagration between these teams!!

And speaking of things Coach had a hand in, we now come to the main event of tonight! In the April "Coach's Corner" update, Jean Carter explained why Narai Kaeo was getting a shot at Ruby Moreno's World Championship and how that allowed Yoshi Hattori to break free of her contract with Matsuki Holdings. What the fans don't know is what was offered to Ruby to make this deal happen and everyone involved in the deal has remained tight lipped about that. Narai fell short in her first bid to earn a World Title shot when Kat Black defeated her to move onto Ragnarok so tonight is Narai's first actual Title match. This is also Ruby's first defense of her World Title in OG-Joshi but not her first match here since winning it as she defeated Kaori NiGHT at last week's Orochi-O's TV Episode 27 in an epic encounter.

Narai Kaeo comes out first to traditional muay thai music wearing ancient garb. She is led to the ring by a beaming Miss Asako Matsuki. She appears as proud of her negotiation talents as she is of Narai's chances here. Narai goes through a long ceremony preparing herself and the ring for battle while Matsuki looks on, practically tasting that World Title victory with her eyes.

"Dies Irae" plays as Ruby Moreno walks out to the ramp with the World Title affixed around her shapely stomach and hips. She does not appear overly concerned about this match and is smiling quite coyly, almost laughing at Miss Matsuki. She looks at her, expecting her to leave ringside so there's no chance of interference but Matsuki refuses, saying it's her right to stay out there. Ruby yawns and motions to the back, bringing out Canada Meg. Miss Matsuki protests saying it's not fair to have another wrestler out there and finally agrees to leave on her own if Meg also leaves. Ruby smiles at her oneupsmanship beating the noted ruthless businesswoman.

Meanwhile, Narai has ignored this 'match of the minds' and has concentrated on kicking the ring post to get into her mental zone. Narai has a real 'kicker's chance' to walk away with this World Title after we have seen her knock out many an opponent. Ruby is a technical wizard but she is not a physically imposing specimen. Although she has faced strikers before, none have bene as strong or as talented as Narai. However, Ruby did once humiliate Juli Krieger by wrestling circles around her so she is no stranger to larger, more powerful opponents. And we know Narai's biggest weakness is her inexperience in a pro wrestling ring, something the veteran Ruby is sure to exploit. Ruby also has a strong submission arsenal which is aimed at weakening the legs. If Narai gets off balance at all in this match, Ruby will make quick work of her. But if this stays on their feet, Ruby could be prone to a knockout. And with the brutal training a muay thai practicioner has gone through, it's likely that Narai's body is simply tougher then Ruby's. Ruby may have to work extra hard to weaken and put away Narai whereas a simple snap kick to the head could effectively end Ruby's night early. For all of Ruby's arrogance here, she is at more of a disadvantage then she may realize. And with that, we go to the ring where the World Title could change hands tonight!

The crowd got onto their feet within minutes of this match once Narai busted Ruby open! And from then on, Ruby took a real pounding and at times almost appeared to be knocked out on her feet. However, the real story here is the resiliency and spirit of Ruby as she didn't stay down after many of Narai's strongest moves: that included TWO "ApoKaeolypses", Narai's finishing combinations! If anyone doubts Ruby's ability to dig down deep and endure great amounts of pain, this is their wakeup call. As was Ruby's great patience in fighting back and making slow but steady gains against Narai who had control for most of the match. And it all came to a head when Ruby was able to catch an unsuspecting Narai with the "Ruby Cutter" for the win. Whether Narai was completely drained at that point or if the Cutter is that strong a move remains unclear. But that Ruby managed to retain her title in one of the toughest matches of her career can not be doubted.

Narai Kaeo (X) ["Ruby Cutter" - 15:16] (O) Ruby Moreno

*Gauntlet Security now come out from the back and surround Ruby, ensuring that Narai doesn't try to attack her as she slowly recovers from the match. Once Ruby is on her feet and has cleaned her bloody face with a towel, she is given a microphone.*

[Ruby:] "I give credit where it's due and Narai, you fought well. If you ever wish to compete in the big leagues, give Gloria Reyes a call and I will vouch for you."

*Narai is walking backstage and ignores her. Ruby shrugs her shoulders and smirks before saying sarcastically.*

[Ruby:] "I'm sure her manager will translate for her. As for the next part of my soon to be historic speech, I would like Miss Carter to join us."

*After a few minutes, Jean Carter comes out and walks down to the ring but stays on the outside. She grabs a microphone.*

[MJC:] "Yup?"

[Ruby:] "How delightfully quaint. Now, if you are really serious about what you said last week and still expect me to defend my World Title against Visper Karr, you will start showing the proper level of professionalism in promoting the show that historic match could be on. That means no more referring to it as just "the PPV." We're two months away from the biggest show of the year and yet you have no name for it? Is this job still so overwhelming for you that even the simple responsibilities elude your grasp?"

*MJC scowls a bit but shakes her head no.*

[Ruby:] "Excellence deserves a name, Miss Carter. And I see fit to provide that name since I will headline that show: provided, of course, that our destined roster will be one Moreno short of a pair by that point."

*MJC looks very frustrated now and cuts Ruby off before she says anything else.*

[MJC:] "So you steal Kat's Title rematch, beat Visper under an assumed false identity, demand your innocent sister get fired, defend the title in another promotion without my permission, and now you think you can choose the PPV name?"

*Ruby looks slightly embarrassed and smiles a little awkwardly.*

[Ruby:] "When you put it that way, I have had a rather uneventful year so far. I'll be sure to pick up the pace at what we will now be calling-"

*Gauntlet Security members unfurl a giant banner with a name on it which also appears on the Orochi-Tron, to Jean's surprise.*

"OG-Joshi: Destiny Unknown - "Ruby Ruby Ruby Mo-re-no"

[MJC:] "What the heck? You can't do th-"

An edited version of "Destination Unknown" (by Rancid) starts to play over the loud speakers as Jean Carter tries to argue with Ruby who smiles and and points to the banner in patronizing fashion. Jean can't get the music to stop and finally walks backstage in a huff with an annoyed expression. The show ends as Ruby holds her World Title over her head while smirking.*

Amplitude - 5/2011

OG-Joshi Amplitude: May 2011 - "Springitude"

Location: The Amplitheater, Peter Venkman Memorial Arena, NY.

Welcome to Amplitude as a major tournament begins to decide the #1 Contender to the Amplitude Championship! The tournament will consist of four matches tonight, part of next month's show, and will then conclude at the PPV this summer.

*The OG-Joshi Coach, 'Mean' Jean Carter comes out first with a microphone and a concerned look on her face.*

[MJC:] "I am sadly aware of the closing and arson of Orochi-O's Land this weekend. I know that many park guests over the years are also OG-Joshi and UBL fans. I am soooo sorry that you had to witness what occurred and I sincerely hope that none of you were hurt.

Furthermore, I also know that many people purchased a package deal which included opening weekend admission for Orochi-O's Land as well as tickets to tonight's show. If anyone has copies of those tickets, we will be reimbursing you for this show to compensate you for losing access to the theme park and the disgusting threats of what would happen if you tried to get reimbursed for park admission.

I haven't always approved of how Robin Walker often used the park to advance her own agenda and propaganda but I know many fans still enjoyed their time there and have treasured family memories. What happened was a tragedy and and a horrible way to start the summer. Let's hope OG-Joshi can fix that a little bit tonight and do our best to entertain you all."

*MJC smiles at the fans and gets applauded as she leaves.*

We continue things on a highly positive note as crowd favorite Inza G. comes out next and is joined by her new "manager", LOL Cat. LOL Cat has come down in an outfit very similar to Coach Jean Carter's, complete with matching whistle. It can be assumed that Jean supports this imitation and thinks its quite adorable that LOLCat is wearing 'people clothes.' Inza appears incredibly excited to be in this tournament and, although she's enjoying LOLCat's frolicking, is ready to get down to business.

Speaking of ~~going~~ getting down to business, Sandy Morton is walking to the ring escorted by her "B*TCH" ally, Linda Parker. The two of them whisper to each other with smirks on their faces. Inza goes over to shake Sandy's hand with a look of empathy. They appear to be talking about Holly Walker which is making Sandy visibly uncomfortable. She quickly says: "Time for the match! Good luck and all that junk," and goes to her corner. Inza seems surprised at this behavior but goes back to her corner and stretches. A few seconds later, the bell rings and the match starts as LOLCat and Linda look on from opposite sides of the floor.

A clear win for Inza against the scrappy but relatively unskilled Sandy Morton. Inza shows just how much she wants a shot at the Amplitude Title by actually daring to wrap her legs around Sandy's head. She hopefully has a de-tox appointment scheduled soon.

Inza G. (O) [Hurracarana - 15:29] (X) Sandy Morton

Inza goes to shake Sandy's hand and help her up off the mat. Sandy accepts her hand but then falls back down: her backward motion sending Inza crashing into the turnbuckle, stunning her. Linda gets into the ring and appears about ready to attack Inza but then LOLCat rolls in and gets in her way. Linda quickly changes her expression and goes with Sandy to help Inza up and apologize. Then they walk back up the ramp muttering to each other while Inza looks on very confused as to what just happened. It goes without saying that LOLCat is confused as well but he quickly changes tune, starts dancing, and gets the crowd cheering for Inza's victory!

*A small intro video plays showing new wrestler Yasuko Mizuki elbowing a heavy bag while her spoken voiceover recites: "I know what I'm fighting for, and because of that I shall never relent." Text on the screen then says: "Yasuko Mizuki: Coming to Amplitude in June." The crowd cheers heavily at this and looks very excited for her debut while buzzing about who she will actually wrestle.*

We cut backstage to where Yoyo Banzai is coming to the arena with DARKNESS! Diva. Hayley Storm approaches Yoyo and starts yelling at her for what happened during their match at the previous Orochi-O's TV where Hayley was busted open. Yoyo looks annoyed and she, along with Diva, start attacking Hayley. But Hayley's Gen X teammate Shay Creed comes to her aid and levels Yoyo with a chair straight to the face: the impact knocking her out cold. Diva runs away screaming for help while Hayley thanks Shay and compliments her form.

Our next tournament match has H. facing Firefly. These two have actually teamed together in the past, before Firefly showed her true violent revolutionary colors. H. isn't one to suffer that kind of behavior though and will sure do what she can to keep Firefly from further advancing her attitude throughout OG-Joshi. But after we saw Firefly beat and brutalize Heather Heaton in the "No Escape" match at the last Amplitude, can H. put up enough of a fight to stand in her way?

We get a break from the tournament action and turn our attention to another title: The Tag Team Championships. Lynn "Lina" Malloy has been offered a Tag Title shot at the PPV with a partner of her choosing providing she has nominal success in this division until then. While we are not sure who she will pick if she gets to the PPV, word is that she has been considering many candidates. She scouted a former opponent, Molly Cule, at last month's Voltage and will now be walking down to the ring with the former #1 Contender to the Amplitude Championship, Gutter. At Ragnarok, Gutter pushed Amplitude Champion, Eris Byrne, just as hard and far as Lina had in past matches.

Their opponents are the struggling team of the Gymnasts: Kellie Boone and Xiang Li. While the two have shown much promise in their physical abilities, they have dropped the last few months of matches to teams like Chanel and Lorelai as well as the Arctic Angels who recently beat them twice in a row on Orochi-O's TV. In this match it seems that the Gymnasts have the advantage in teamwork against the new pairing of Gutter and Lina. But will the experience advantage be enough to take on two of the top wrestlers on this roster?

Apparently not! As two of the best wrestlers on the Amplitude, nay, OG-Joshi roster just schooled two up and coming tag wrestlers. Gutter and Lina took control of a hard-fought match and made Xiang Li tap out. You have to feel for the Gymnasts here but Gutter is tough as nails and Lina is a whirlwind of energy, aggression, and fisticuffs.

Kellie/Xiang (X) [Prison Lock - 26:28] (O) Gutter/Lina

Speaking of fisticuffs, Judy Bones has just run out from the crowd and pulled Gutter outside the ring! How did Judy escape her prison detail? Gutter certainly doesn't have the answer to that question as her long time enemy and tormentor pounds on her with brass knuckles while alternately stroking her head and increasingly bloody hair. The fans are recoiling at this disgusting display!

Lina attempts to come to her aid but she is taken out from behind by the Dod Squod! They appear furious at her and are screaming: "You don't get our Tag Title shot!" while knocking her all around the ring. Polly Dod looks to be setting her up for a PollyWhirl~ from the apron to the outside but fellow energy whirlwhind, Jenna Stone comes to Lina's aid with a chair! Jenna is swinging it around like she's in a tornado and the Dods bail out before ending up in Oz.

Meanwhile, a mixture of Genji Security and the NYC police department have grabbed ahold of Judy Bones, tazered her, and removed her from the arena floor. But the damage to Gutter is clear. Along with being covered in her own blood, she has turned completely pale and rolled into fetal position under the ring apron. Jean Carter comes down, in tears, to help her backstage but it literally takes ten minutes for Gutter to come back out from under the ring. When she does, she runs backstage as fast as she can with Jean following her.

*Commercials air for the Universal Battle League Circuit Show for May 2011.*

*Our next match was scheduled to be Tigress Mask II facing Yoyo Banzai but a very frazzled Jean Carter comes out with a microphone.*

[MJC:] "I have to keep this as short as possible just so I can get back to Gutter. Due to Yoyo Banzai being knocked out, in a fight that she started, I am replacing her in this tournament with someone else. Tigress Mask II will be facing the very tough Lori Cuozzo, a woman who almost won the Number One Contender's Battle Royale back at the Renaissance PPV to get a shot at the World Title. Although Kat beat her, Lori showed a lot of promise and I think she deserves this chance at earning another Title shot. Enjoy the show, everyone!"

Jean goes backstage as the fans look pretty pumped at this announcement given the success Lori Cuozzo has had in the past. However, she is up against the new wearer of the Tigress Mask, Naomi. Naomi returned to the Amplitude brand specifically for this tournament at the suggestion of Coach Carter so you know she's intensely motivated. Lori comes out first and is very confident while she walks down to the ring. We know she is going to put up a real fight here and will not go down easy against the smaller Tigress Mask II.

But as Tigress Mask II comes down to the ring, she does not appear to be intimidated (not that we'd really know behind that mask). The fans have applauded her success over the last few years, especially her big victory over her mentor Tigress Mask at Ragnarok to be named the new wearer of the mask. Her submission arsenal is growing and she is also starting to show a quick impact influenced power game with her suplexes. She will need her speed against the larger and more physically imposing Lori. But most of all, she will need her spirit and resiliency to weather the punishing moves that Lori uses. If Lori can keep Tigress Mask II on the ground and in her control, this will be a very quick and painful match. Tigress has to ~~defeat Sheng~~ stay on her feet to stand a chance. Let's get to the ring.

What a battle Lori just gave here! It appeared she had the match won with that brutal snap powerbomb but somehow TM II perservered! And then she showed a sign of respect to her opponent by bowing before winning with the cyclone rana! It's incredible how both women were able to get their momentum back in this match after their opponents controlled it for so long but a strong showing for each one of them here. Tigress Mask II looks ecstatic to be advancing to the next round of the tournament.

Tigress Mask II (O) [Cyclone Rana- 19:19] (X) Lori Cuozzo

And we're ready for our main event now as Heather Heaton comes down to the ring. She is the leader of the female Gen X team and is one of the favorites to win this tournament. However, after her loss to Firefly at the last show, she appears to be taking tonight's match more seriously then usual. Not only because she wants to win the Tournament, but because of the type of wrestler her opponent is.

She is set to face Minerva, the wife of UBL's Athrin Kazama, himself the head of the Fuzen Tara Seitan stable. Minerva is just as vicious as Athrin as well as Firefly and Heather wants to avoid being the victim of yet another bloody battle and having her beautiful face scarred. So she is sure to concentrate on using her technical superiority to keep Minerva on the ground and away from any foreign objects. Heather better be prepared to go through hell here as she did against Firefly, but this time find a way out. Minerva better be ready to keep Heather down there and avoid any of her risque submissions while attempting to use one of her own brutal suplexes on Heather.

Minerva has come out to the ring and is brandishing a kusarigama much like her husband has. But Gen X members Rachel, Hayley, and Shay come down to ringside and stay in Heather's corner to make sure this is a fair and safe match.

Luckily there was no time limit here as Heather cinches on her Christo at exactly the 20 minute mark! Minerva put up plenty of fight, perhaps her greatest effort in OG-Joshi so far, but fell to the leader of Gen X in an excellent match.

Heather Heaton (O) [Christo - 20:00] (X) Minerva

Before Minerva even has a chance to even think "REVENGE!", Gen X gets into the ring to back up Heather. Minerva leaves the ring after staring down Heather and grinning. Rachel and Hayley put Heather on their shoulders and celebrate as the show comes to a close. Heather appears to enjoy her thighs resting on Rachel's shoulder and strokes her hair while smiling.

We'll see you next month for the second round of the Amplitude Title tournament!

Voltage - April 2011

2011-04-28T00:22:00.002-04:00

April 2011 Voltage

*Voltage starts off with the usual 'fan pan and scan'. Then the Orochi Tron shows the card for the night*

1: Rose Moreno vs. Canada Meg
2: Tigerfly Sword/Teresa Tanaka/Xouxou Chen vs. Royal Deities
3: Molly Cule vs. Kim Cross
4: OG-Joshi Tag Titles: Team Chuu Chuu vs. Reed Sisters (c)

But after a few seconds, the card is taken off the screen and replaced with a slideshow of pictures showing the lineage of OG-Joshi World Champions. The fans erupt when they see Dizzy's picture, cheer loudly for Haley, give a split reaction (strong on both cheers and boos) for Holly, more enthusiastic cheers for Visper...and then we see Ruby's face causing an uproar among the fans until a question mark appears on Ruby's face. This calms the fans down a bit and causes them to laugh. Seconds later, the OG-Joshi World Champion herself comes out and sees the picture on the tron, She rolls her eyes and grabs a microphone.*

[Ruby:] "Very cute, Jean, but we all know that I am currently the legitimate World Champion. Still, there is something about that video that strikes a chord of truth. What is the saying that children learn while watching disturbing creatures try to crudely educate them on public access TV?"

*Ruby smiles as the crowd yells: "Muppet-hater!" at her*

[Ruby:] "Oh right, 'one of these things is not like the other.'

There are many things that separate me from the former 'pack' of Champions. For one, I am not injured like three of them currently are. And two, this is not the first major championship that I have held. Do you understand the significance of that?"

*Ruby pauses and lets the now quiet crowd have a few seconds to think.*

[Ruby:] "Every former OG-Joshi World Champion never held a top singles title before they held this belt. They were not already the best. it was an uphill battle from the time they got a shot at this belt to the time they were considered to be in their prime. But I've been in my prime and on top of the women's wrestling world for 3 years now and yet somehow I keep getting better. I must confess that fact shocks me as well. One would think it mathematically impossible for me to have continued to improve but I suppose I'm the sexiest piece of assymptote to ever wear this belt."

*The crowd is dumbstruck and Ruby rolls her eyes.*

[Ruby:] "Sigh...public education again. Ask Molly Cule what I just said. But my point is, ever since I won the LAWL Opulent Mejor Championship, I have been recognized as the best. I elevated the status of the LAWL title by holding it and defending it against those formerly recognized as the icons of our world. It took Holly Walker 2 years to beat Jo Ryder and when she did, it was by a fluke reversal as she grabbed the ropes for leverage. But I defeated Jo in one try with my finisher in the middle of the ring. When I finally laid my hands on this Championship, and did that that too in just one try, I was already recognized as the best wrestler in the world."

*Ruby holds her Title up but then looks irritated.*

[Ruby:] "And yet, I am mocked by the acting head of this organization. Threatened by nearly everyone in the locker room. This all, despite the fact that I am the only Champion to elevate this Title higher then it was. That is what truly separates me from everyone else to hold this Title. That is why OG-Joshi's 'other' Champions can never measure up to me..."

*Ruby holds her hands in the air and closes her eyes*

[Ruby:] "I am the shining light of professional wrestling and you are all in my shadow." *Ruby opens her eyes and smiles* But it is pleasant and cool there, so you should not dismay. Rather then whine about the manner in which I faced Visper or moan about my 'heartless conditions' for staying in OG-Joshi, why not allow me to raise OG-Joshi higher then it's ever been? Higher then Celes or Carter or Geese could possibly take it? All I ask is that you ignore a certain someone who won the meritless genetic lottery of sharing my last name. You should have no trouble doing so after you see her be soundly defeated by my understudy, Megan."

The crowd is dismayed and quieted by Ruby's statements and give no reaction to Megan, aka "Canada Meg", as she comes out to ringside. Ruby walks Meg down the ramp, whispering to her along the way. Meg keeps nodding and Ruby takes a seat by the timekeeper's table. Next, Rose Moreno comes down to ringside accompanied by Coach Jean Carter! The fans get to their feet for Jean who smiles points to Rose, which has the effect of them chanting for her instead. Jean smiles and gives her own pep talk to Rose who gets into the ring. Then Jean walks over and sits down next to Ruby after politely shaking her hand. Ruby smirks and mouths 'aren't we confident tonight, Coach?' which Coach replies with 'she's a Moreno, right?'. Ruby narrows her eyes and gets the timekeeper to ring the bell, presumably wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.

A huge and perhaps career-saving victory by Rose Moreno against the more experienced Canada Meg! On many occasions it appeared that Meg had this match in the beh'g (sorry) but Rose used all her resiliency and spirit to avoid defeat. Then she got Meg off balance enough to shock her with that quick roll-up pin to seal the victory.

Rose Moreno (O) [Mr, Clutch - 15:51] (X) Canada Meg

Ruby Moreno quickly rolls into the ring and yells at the referee for making a fast count. But Jean calmly walks up the stairs, is helped into the ring by Rose, and then raises her hand in victory. Then she shakes the hand of the referee, clearly acknowledging the victory as official. Ruby takes Meg's hand and marches her out of the ring and down the ramp but not before Jean gets a microphone.*

[MJC:] "Perhaps each Moreno is the master of their own destiny."

*Ruby storms out of the arena while the fans laugh at her and cheer for Rose. Jean once again raises Rose's hand in victory. Rose appears very shy and even looks a little uncomfortable with all the attention but Jean keeps the crowd clapping for her as they go backstage.

*A bizarre commercial with a cat walking backwards airs in anticipation of the FPCPP "Hand Cat" PPV.

We now turn to a six woman tag match stemming from the previous Amplitude. Tigerfly Sword came to the assistance of the "Arctic Angels", Teresa Tanaka and Xouxou Chen, after they were attacked by the Deities. The Angels had just finished defeating the Deity team of Valencia and Gabriella in a close match before Avalon took revenge for her group. The Angels have recently won two straight matches against the Gymnasts on O's TV.

The Deities come down to the ring now with clear boos that don't seem to bother them at all. However, at one point, Gabriella Breeze screams "SHUT UP FOOLS" and pretty much the entire lower section of the arena goes deathly quiet. Avalon smirks at this and they all get into the ring. Tigerfly Sword and the Angels come out next. Although the Angels have been successful against the Deities, Tigerfly Sword has yet to score a victory in OG-Joshi over her multi-promotional rival, Avalon. The last two matches have gone to Avalon and while Tigerfly will get another chance at the June Voltage, she hopes to make some headway here tonight. Meanwhile, the Angels are staring down the Deities and Xouxou, in particular, has a very menacing look on her face. As all competitors are now ready, let's get to the ring.

The true spirit of tag teamery is realized as Xouxou and Tigerfly combine to get the victory. Tigerfly drove her rival Avalon into the canvas with a huge elevated german suplex but since she was not tagged in, she had to leave the ring. Xouxou immediately followed up by mounting Avalon and transitioning into a rear naked choke which may have not even been necessary given the impact of Sword's german suplex. So while Tigerfly didn't officially get the win, she came just about as close as one could get!

Tigerfly/Teresa/Xouxou (O) [Rear Naked Choke - 23:46] (X) Avalon/Gabriella/Valencia

The Deities appear to want a repeat performance of the end of the last Amplitude match but with Avalon sleeping in the middle of the ring, they think better of going for a 2 against 3 attack. Instead, Gabriella drags Avalon out of the ring, places her onto her shoulders, and carries her backstage with Valencia following. The Angels and Tigerfly celebrate as Tigerfly points at Avalon and makes a sleeping motion to the delight of the fans.

Our next match features the up and coming (and earlier referenced) Molly Cule facing the tough veteran Kim Cross. Kim seems to have lost some of her swagger after her alleged paramour, Mr. Figaro, left...the world (?). But the last time Kim wrestled, she gave Naomi a very tough match. Molly has had a lot of success on Voltage and many (including her associate, the UBL wrestler Dean Annay) feel this will be the "Year of the Cule." That proclamation is bolstered by Molly's incredible performance against former World Champion Visper Karr. However, Molly seems to have a lot to prove tonight after narrowly dropping a close match to Amplitude's Lina "Lina" Malloy during the first Orochi-O's TV of the year. Beating someone on the level of Kim would be a huge boon for Molly's career. But given the high profile opponents who have lost to Miss Cross, it will be a tall order for Molly to climb Mt. Kim.

...what? No commentator remarks about that last line? I guess i'll continue on then. Molly comes to the ring with a blackboard showing a graph of an asymptote and tries to explain it as best she can to the audience. After a few moments of awkward silence and head scratching, Molly sighs and starts to explain long division instead. With the fans a bit more amenable to this, she seems satisfied. Kim comes to the ring next, looks at the blackboard, and then draws a picture of herself (with ample bosom) and Mr. Figaro with a heart. The crowd looks sad and Molly puts her hand on Kim's shoulder to comfort her about her lost love. But Kim smirks, grabs Molly's arm, and immediately tries to roll her up for the pin!! Molly looks shocked while Kim and some of her fans just laugh. Looks like Kim still has got her wiles about her! But this ruse has just further motivated Molly. Let's get back to the ring!

A huge victory on both the microscopic and macroscopic scale! Not only has Molly Cule beaten her first major opponent on Voltage, but she did it in one of her best matches to date! While Kim put up quite a fight, she could not fend off the devestating impact of the Atom Splitter. The fans are buzzing with excitement (and maybe some bees got into the arena) at the performance of Molly. Many are starting to clearly see why Jean put Molly on Voltage last year despite her brief amount of time in OG-Joshi as a whole.

Molly Cule (O) ["Atom Splitter" - 19:43] (X) Kim Cross

Another person who was closely observing Molly was Lina who has just now been sighted in one of the luxury boxes in the upper deck of the arena. She is by herself, flanked by a lot of Genji Security, and appears to be impressed and nodding at the result of this match. Given Lina's current search for a partner to challenge the OG-Joshi Tag Team Champions at the next PPV, one has to wonder if her former opponent Molly is on the list of candidates.

At the very least, Lina is here to find out who exactly the Champions will be at the PPV which will be decided by tonight's main event. Last year, the Dod Squod won certain matches to get a Title shot at Ragnarok. But Team Chuu Chuu looked equally impressive and the Reed Sisters promised that if they retained the Championship at Ragnarok, they'd give them a Title shot soon after. That shot has come tonight and is actually the first time Chuu Chuu has had a Championship opportunity. Given the status of underdogs that the Reeds themselves had before defeating J*NiGHT to win the Tag Titles, you have to figure they aren't underestimating Chuu Chuu in the same way.

Both pairs have tremendous chemistry and almost a psychic level of teamwork. But the Reeds have faced and defeated top notch tag teams like J*NiGHT and the Dods. Team Chuu Chuu haven't had that same experience or success but tonight they get a chance to turn all of that around. Who will go to the next OG-Joshi PPV this summer and defend their Tag Titles against Lina and a partner of her choosing!? Let's find out.*

What an effort by Team Chuu Chuu! It's clear they brought their best for this huge moment in their career but it just wasn't enough to keep the Reeds down. And in their characteristic technical fashion, Melody gets the victory with her "Al Fine" roll-up finisher: a move that many wrestlers have been unable to get out of. You have to hand it to both teams for the match we just saw but it is the Reeds who, once again, go to a major PPV as the OG-Joshi Tag Team Champions.

Yaoi/Yuri (X) ["Al Fine" - 24:19] (O) Melody/Harmony

The Reeds shake the hands of Team Chuu Chuu who are gracious in defeat. As they congratulate each other for a match well fought, the Hellions ermerge from the crowd! They grab chairs and get ready to attack all the wrestlers in the ring but are cut off by Chanel Melendez and Lorelai! These two teams have had their share of wars over the last few months and appear ready for another one. But Coach Carter runs out with a microphone.

[MJC:] "Sako, Hae-Won. Don't even think about it. You two have been fighting Chanel and Melendez all year. You're gonna get one more chance to get acquainted with each other at the next Voltage and then we're gonna have one final match between your teams at the PPV in a Tornado Tag match. Whoever wins that match will be the new #1 Contenders to the Tag Titles. But you aren't getting anything unless you behave and stop trying to attack people. That's it, break it up! Go backstage and let Chuu Chuu and the Reeds enjoy their moment."

*The Hellions spit snot rockets in the direction of Chanel and Lorelai but leave through the crowd with no further incident. Chanel and Lorelai go backstage as Jean thanks them for helping out. She then turns to the ring and smiles.*

[MJC:] "All four of you just showed the world what the OG-Joshi tag team division is all about. Chuu Chuu, you'll get another chance if you keep wrestling like this. And Reeds, I truly can't imagine a better team to represent this era of OG-Joshi. Thank you."

*Jean claps for them which causes the rest of the audience to do so. The show fades with Chuu Chuu and the Reeds soaking in the cheers of the fans while Lina watches on from her luxury box taking notes.*

Amplitude - 3/2011

OG-Joshi Amplitude: March 2011 - "Amoritude"

Location: The Amplitheater, Peter Venkman Memorial Arena, NY.

Valentine's Day has passed but we're in for some PRO WRES LOVE tonight as Amplitude has its first official show of 2011! After Gutter and Amplitude Champion Eris Byrne represented this brand so well at Ragnarok, and then Lina defeated Voltage's Molly Cule at Orochi-O's TV, everyone backstage is buzzing about the potential opportunities for this brand to skyrocket this year. Coach Carter even previously mentioned a surprise for this brand after certain lingering rivalries are put to rest. So everyone is eager to win and impress tonight: Including wrestlers from rivalries that are still getting started like the one we will start with right now.

Gen X's Rachel Sky and Juli Tanaka first faced off in a tag match at the October Amplitude and then each wanted to face each other again. There's no anger here, just a rivalry of mutual respect between the surly veteran, Juli, and the charismatic rookie Rachel We've got something old and something new here. Also, both wrestlers have blue in their attire. And one can only assume Heather Heaton asked if Rachel wanted to borrow any of her undergarments. (and that Rachel promptly refused the offer while blushing). But no marriage made in heaven/hell here, or prolonged delayed Valentine's Day references, just an exciting matchup to start this show off!

What a finish! Rachel with two huge hurracaranas keeping Juli off balance and pinned down. Juli had a number of good shots in this match too but Rachel's enthusiasm led to this victory! The fans really love this as a new favorite of theirs in Rachel has just gotten her first official win on Amplitude! Juli shakes her hand and appears to be asking for a rematch which Rachel gladly agrees to.

Rachel Sky (O) [Springboard Rana- 15:45] (X) Juli Tanaka

Next we have the up and coming team of Teresa Tanaka and Xouxou Chen facing off with Valencia Cruz and Gabriella Breeze of the Royal Detiies. Both of these teams have one member who is blindingly quick and one member who is feared. Teresa and Valencia both are the agile members of their team while Xouxou is deadly with submissions and Gabriella is one of the largest and most powerful women on the roster. If Xouxou can get going early with her limb targeting, she can slow down Valencia and take some of the momentum away from Gabi's moves. But if Gabi has some early success, you can kiss this match goodbye for Teresa and Xouxou. After the series between Gabi and Tigerfly Sword, it's very clear just how dangerous Gabriella can be. But we can't discount the ability of Valencia who almost defeated Tigerfly Sword last year! Much to their credit, however, Teresa and Xouxou do not appear intimidated at facing these two, nor do the Deities seem to be nervous about their competition. Let's get to the ring and see which team prevails!

After a grueling match, Teresa is able to win with the exciting "Flying Squirrel!" You've gotta hand it to all four wrestlers for their teamwork and resiliency but I think Teresa and Xouxou just wanted this victory more so that they could further stand out from the pack of dedicated tag teams. Tonight's victory has to get them onto MJC's radar and within reach of Title contention.

Meanwhile, Avalon has come down to the ring and is royally pissed at the situation. The Deities attack Xouxou and Teresa but they are saved by Tigerfly Sword who has run out to ringside! Tigerfly is on Voltage but she must have been backstage waiting for Avalon and the Deities to pull something like this! We have a staredown here which is finally broken up by Genji Security.

Xouxou/Teresa (O) ["Flying Squirrel" - 19:58] (X) Valencia/Gabriella

*As Genji clears the scene, we go to commercials for the upcoming LAWLiday "Cinco de LAWLo" show*

Amplitude comes back from commercial, and we find ourselves in the
arena once more. In the center of the ring, head held high and
microphone in hand, stands the Amplitude Champion Eris Byrne. She looks
out over the crowd, pauses for a moment, and raises the microphone.

[Eris:] "The world ended with Ragnarok, and the Goddess still stands tall!"

[Eris:] "Seems a lot of shit got stirred up over on the other show
when they let a California fruit wrestler in, dressed as a ninja, to
steal their title. And what has happened for us this year? We beat them
in the first inter-show match of the year, with ease. So much for the 'A
show'... if the people 'in charge' can't stop just about anyone from coming in
and raising havoc, we'll just have to cause our own and defend our turf."

She looks out over the crowd, as if challenging their reactions.

[Eris:] "I don't give a shit if you like me, and most of you don't.
But you all know I rock this place, and you can't help but respect me -
there's no denying that..."

Eris smirks, letting the worst of the reactions die down before
raising her hand to call for silence and continuing.

[Eris:] "I've got a message for all of you," *She motions to the crowd*
"...all of you," *She points directly at the camera*[i] "...and especially all of you."

[i]She turns, pointing to the entrance ramp, and towards the locker
rooms behind the curtains.

[Eris:] "I am your champion. I rule this show. I AM this show. That
means I fight and bleed for this place, but also that each and every
potential opponent reflects on me. A champion's throne is hoisted up by
her challengers... so the Goddess of Chaos is issuing a divine decree to
all of you backstage. Turn up the heat, turn up the noise, and show the
world what Amplitude is all about. So says the TRUE World Champion of OG-Joshi!"

Eris raises the Amplitude Title high, slowly turning to take in the
crowd before rolling under the bottom rope and striding up the ramp.

Next up we have the third and final match in the rivalry between Inza G and Lisa Robinson. Given the reason this feud even existed, this match should be especially heated. That is because Lisa wanted to rough up Inza just to get inside the head of Inza's mentor, Holly. Since Holly is now in a coma, it's very likely that Inza would come out with a lot of energy to seal this match in her honor.

What was particularly less likely was the excitement that accompanied Inza...of a feline variety. The crowd goes wild as international feline icon LOLCat comes out to the ring first and paves the way for his friend and milk bartender, Inza G! The fans give her a huge ovation as she appears to be wearing a green wristband on one of her wrists, presumably to show support for Holly. LOLCat has on one too but he probably isnt as clear on the reasons. Lisa comes out next and mocks the reception both LOLCat and Inza got. She finds some trash on the floor (an old straw wrapper) and puts it around her wrist to mock the wristband. This causes Inza to get angry and starts the match with a tope to the floor before the bell even rings! Inza then rolls her back in and we're ready for what will be a very physical match!

Inza basically steamrolled Lisa, finishing her off with a stiff kick to the face. Lisa's nose is bleeding and Inza has just shown us what happens when you truly piss her off. LOLCat is covering his mouth in surprise and concern and even Inza appears a bit remorseful about the damage to Lisa's face once her adrenaline wears off. Finally, LOLCat starts dancing for the crowd's amusement and Inza lets out a smile. LOLCat screams: "Dis is for tha Hollies" and he and Inza do a little dance in the ring.

Sandy Morton and Linda Parker come out and watch this with disgust. Inza appears confused why the two are not joining them for the Holly tribute, especially since Sandy appears to want to go down to the ring. But Linda walks Sandy backstage.

Inza G. (O) [Nyman Kick - 13:11] (X) Lisa Robinson

We are now ready for our main event! Heather Heaton and Firefly have had a rivalry since last summer. However, despite Firefly's menacing words to OG-Joshi, she has not appeared to bring that same sheer rebellious anger against Heather. But with the "No Escape" rules in play, Firefly may step the intensity of her offense up.

The reason for those rules in this match is due to the submissions both wrestlers use and have copied from each other in past matches. MJC wants to see if we can get a decisive pinfall between these two and that means submissions are legal but can not end the match. One of these two will have to either pin or knock the other one out. With Firefly's dangerous arsenal, that could happen but we can not discount the technical acumen of Heather Heaton in addition to her own high impact face plant moves.

Heather comes to the ring first to a large ovation: a high portion of those fans being male! We also see her Gen X teammates in attendance, partially to cheer her on and no doubt to back her up in case Firefly gets violent. Rachel is even out here wearing a towel on top of her head and neck, clearly just coming from the shower after her match tonight. Heather smiles extra hard at her.

Firefly is out next and gets practically STRUCK with boos from the crowd. The sound is almost uniform and blunt like a baseball bat and we see many wearing "I support Coach" shirts and holding signs of that nature. Firefly looks slightly annoyed at this but walks to the ring with total confidence. There's no escape from the crowd reaction but its up to Firefly how to respond to it. Let's get to the match!

The fans are furiously booing as Firefly used every dirty trick in the book to win this match! From busting Heather open early with what may have been a hidden illegal weapon to that poke in the eyes late that allowed Firefly to hit the Uranage! Heather was a victim throughout this match to moves of questionable legality! You have to give her credit for competing on the high level that she did and getting a few chances at victory but it was clear Firefly was going to do whatever she had to in order to get this victory and move up the ranks. Firefly ignores the booing but goes over to a fan holding a "We <3 MJC" sign. She rips up the sign and spits on it before throwing it to the ground and then going backstage.

Gen X members come to the ring to help up the bloodied Heather. She refuses a stretcher and walks backstage on her own power to the huge applause of the fans. Rachel looks concerned but Mark Spirals appears to be giving her confidence in Heather's condition. Heather then strokes Rachel's hair which appears to make Rachel smile AND blush, which causes Heather to smile, which causes Jayden Blayze to mutter "WTF" at the smiling and sexual confusion that went right over his head.

Heather Heaton (X) [Uranage- 16:07] (O) Firefly

The show looks as its about to end when suddenly the Ampli-Tron turns on and we see a very serious Coach Carter looking at us.

[MJC:] "I'll be reviewing the match we just saw and taking certain actions into account. There's no way you can wrestle like Firefly and expect to be treated as a true winner. But I'm not here for that right now. Rather, I'd like to announce an exciting opportunity for many wrestlers on Amplitude. Starting at the next show, we will be holding a #1 Contenders Tournament for the Amplitude Title."

*The fans erupt in applause and MJC smiles.*

[MJC:] "I will be announcing the participants and bracket soon. The first and second round of the tournament will occur on the next two Amplitudes with the finals to take place at the Spring OG-Joshi PPV. Since the winner will have had to beat so many wrestlers to win the contender position, they will be given a three match series with our Champion Eris Byrne. Eris is right that everyone backstage has to turn up the heat and show the world what Amplitude is all about. And this tournament will give them that chance. Congratulations to everyone who won with honor tonight. Voltage and Amplitude will return next month! Drive home safely everyone!"

*MJC nods at the fans and the Tron shuts off and lights power down to indicate the show is over. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here. Well, you probably can if you don't navigate to another page or ever turn your computer off..."

Voltage - February 2011

January 2011 Voltage

*We start off with a stand-alone recap video of Ragnarok set to the old entrance music ("Fields of Fantasy") of General Celes. Footage from Naomi/Ayame, Gutter/Eris, Dods/Reeds, and Kat/Visper are shown with the match finishes being seen in slow motion. The video ends with the words: "Ragnarok? Whatever doesn't kill us makes us stronger." Then we fade into the Voltage auditorium in the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena where snow-like confetti falls from the ceiling as the Orochi-Tron shows four matches.*

1: Yoshi Hattori vs. Tigress Mask II
2: Natalia Nogaard vs. Narai Kaeo
3: Chanel Melendez/Lorelai vs. the Hellions (Sako Dasumi/Hae-Won)
4: OG-Joshi World Title: Kat Black vs. Visper Karr (c)

*Coach Carter comes through the curtains onto the ramp and has a microphone.*

[MJC:] "Greetings and welcome to 2011. not that you haven't already been living in it for a month!"

*Jean blushes but regains her composure*

[MJC:] "But this is a new year for OG-Joshi and I wanted to start it off the right way. You'll see that our main event and Championship referee, Mary, is already in the ring. And no, we're not starting with the World Title match which is the main event but with the energy of OG-Joshi youth. excitement, and promise for the future! This is a new year and young wrestlers like these are going to show the world what they can do. Miss Hattori and Miss uh... Mask II... bring us into 2011!"

*Yoshi and Tigress Mask II (t.w.f.k.a. Naomi) both come out and shake hands with Jean and skip down to the ring in a spirited manner. Once in the ring, they shake hands and bow to each other as the fans give them both huge rounds of applause. Miss Matsuki tries to get to ringside to be with her charge, Yoshi, but Coach Carter directs her backstage to her chagrin. Whether due to relief or confidence in her own abilities, Yoshi doesn't seem to mind her manager's absence that much.*

Coach Carter sure picked a 'doozy' (her words, not mine. I swear) of an encounter to start the year with! These two went at it with total respect, class, and speed. But also a whole lot of intensity and attempts to one-up the other. And while Tigress Mask II almost won her debut match with the mask on, Yoshi Hattori made a huge comeback to secure the victory. You can't discount TM II's desire and spirit but Yoshi just had a little more in the tank at the end. Perhaps Naomi was too quick to transform her move arsenal and was not yet comfortable with her new match finishers or Yoshi was extra 'motivated' by her manager to win...or else.

Yoshi Hattori (O) [Misteriorana - 18:28] (X) Tigress Mask II

*Speaking of her manager, Miss Asako Matsuki has come back out to ringside and is being accompanied by her other charge, Narai Kaeo. Tigress Mask II leaves the ring after shaking hands with Yoshi. Once TM II is gone, Miss Matsuki starts scolding Yoshi very harshly. Since she is doing it in Japanese, it is hard to know what she is saying but she is certainly not using a complimentary tone. Narai joins in on the scolding and also backs Yoshi up into the corner to make sure she has her full attention. Yoshi looks nervous and tired from the previous match and is just trying to end this confrontation but Matsuki isn't telling Narai to step away. Finally, someone does it for Matsuki, and against her wishes. Narai's opponent for the night, Natalia Nogaard had run down to ringside and just pushed Narai out of the way so that Yoshi could have some breathing room. Narai and Matsuki are enraged as Yoshi thanks Natalia and leaves ringside to the applause of the crowd. Miss. Matsuki stays for this match and Narai is ready, more then ready, to face Natalia*

Or maybe not so ready after all? The second straight loss for Narai Kaeo comes somewhat ironically as she has just been beaten by a kick! Narai, the muay thai master, just got knocked down from Natalia's "Switchblade" long enough for Natalia to grab the win! What a huge victory for Natalia who clearly had a wider arsenal then Narai but chose to put the exclamation point on this match in a way certain to anger Narai and Miss Matsuki.

Natalia Nogaard (O) ["Switchblade" - 14:53] (X) Narai Kaeo

*Miss Matsuki grabs Natalia as she is exiting the ring and screams for Narai to come over and finish the job but suddenly the Orochi-Tron turns on and we see "Coach" Carter looking sternly at Matsuki.*

[MJC:] "Either stop this instant or get yourself and Narai thrown off the roster.."

*Matsuki scowls and lets go of Natalia who stares into her eyes hard enough for Matsuki to back up on her own. Then Natalia walks back to the locker room.*

[MJC:] "Like I said in my last Corner, you've got some work to do with Narai, Miss Matsuki. I don't see how you can criticize Yoshi Hattori for winning the first match of the year when Narai just lost a match from a kick."

*The screen fades as an absolutely livid Matsuki leads Narai back by the arm. Narai doesn't fight it but looks somewhat ashamed. On their way back up the ramp, they pass the Hellions who swagger out to ringside and grab microphones.*

[Sako:] "Well ain't this just a bitch - we've got Xena duty again tonight."

[Hae-Won:] "Coach not convinced we earned a shot at the Reed's titles?"

[Sako:] "Coach don't seem convinced about a lot of things, if you ask me.."

[Hae-Won:] "I ain't askin you."

*Sako smiles and spits near Hae-Won who shoulder butts her and laughs.*

[Sako:] "Too bad that's the most exercise we gonna get tonight. Unless Xena wraps those legs around us like she does to Gabrielle-"

*At this point, Chanel and Lorelai come out looking rather angry and storm to the ring. The crowd only has a moments notice to remember how the Hellions defeated Chanel/Lorelai at an O's TV before Ragnarok. And even less time to remember the war of words exchanged since then. Let's get to the match!*

Yoshi and Tigress Mask started the year off great for singles matches but what a tag match we had here to begin 2011! The crowd is on their feet for both teams as they just witnessed a battle of true warrior (fighters) (That's worth it for the 2 people who get the reference!)!

Sako was a monster at the end of this match and it's incredible how Lorelai was able to kick out of her moves and then take the momentum for herself. These two teams may have nothing but contempt for each other but the fans seem to be respecting, and fearing both pairs of women. And even though Chanel and Lorelai won this encounter, the performance of Sako and Hae-Won underscored the huge transformation they have undergone since SHINO! Army.

Chanel/Lorelai (O) ["Hades Powerbomb" - 21:15] (X) Sako/Hae-Won

*Amazingly both teams stop fighting at the bell and go backstage to no further incident. Well, maybe that's not so amazing due to the Genji Security that came out at the end of the match to make sure there wouldn't be further incident. And some members of security stayed as its now time for the OG-Joshi World Championship match.

Kat Black comes out first to thunderous applause. She walks to the ring with just a brief wave and bow to the crowd. Clearly her mind is fully on the match and she's as focused as we've ever seen her. She needs to be just that to beat Visper after falling just short at Ragnarok. Visper Karr, the World Champion, comes to the ring next with a similar focus. She stops to soak in the fans' applause to fully energize herself. She has been World Champion since the summer of 2009 after beating Holly at OG-Joshi Renaissance. And even though she beat Kat at Ragnarok, she is not taking her lightly. The fans have actually started to chant: "Thank you Coach" in reference to Coach giving them this rematch so soon after many voted it as "Match of the Night" at Ragnarok and even match of the year for OG-Joshi in 2010. Kat and Visper are now both in the ring and ready to go. There's a brief handshake and the match begins.

OG-Joshi World Title, folks! If you're not pumped for this, check your pulse!*

The crowd is shocked into silence.

*And Coach Carter is trembling in the ring with the microphone in her hand.*

[MJC:] "You...you can't do this."

*A smiling Ruby Moreno has grabbed a microphone as well.*

[Ruby:] "What's that, dear? I can't hear you over the always energetic OG-Joshi crowd."

*A few chants of "F*ck you" are heard in response which MJC shakes her head in disappointment at before looking back at Ruby.*

[Ruby:] "Now just what is it that I can't do? Pin your long time World Champion? Beat the cornerstone of OG-Joshi? Do a convincing job of acting like Kat Black unlike the slipshod work Sandy Morton and Holly tried to pull off last year? I think you are mistaken, Miss Carter. See, I can do anything."

*Ruby smiles in an almost angelic manner and spreads her arms.*

[MJC:] "It wasn't Kat that beat Visper, the match isn't...isn't legitimate-"

[Ruby:] "Then your Champion and entire promotion wouldn't be legitimate either. Luckily, that's not the case...yet. Instead we have the stereotypical angry and biased coach yelling at the referees for making a call that is clearly fair and impartial. From the moment that bell rung, that match was legitimate. And in front of the entire world I cleanly and decisively pinned the OG-Joshi World Champion.

In doing so, now I am that Champion."

Ruby Moreno (O) ["Ruby Cutter" - 20:34] (X) Visper Karr

*Ruby gently caresses the Title belt around her waist but then frowns.*

[Ruby:] As for the 'real' Kat Black, she missed her opportunity. But that is the risk that masked wrestlers take in allowing anyone to co-opt their entire identity with merely a spare attire and mask. LAWL keeps such spares in the case of lost luggage and I 'borrowed' one of hers."

[MJC:] "That still doesn't make you Kat!"

[Ruby:] "Oh doesn't it? The fact is, 'Coach', Kat Black did win tonight...my version of Kat Black. Much as Tigress Mask II is Naomi's version of Tigress Mask: It's completely legal in OG-Joshi under the right circumstances, I had Destiny's lawyers look into it, of course. One failing of your former General was her lack of proper legal oversight. She had authority to stop Sandy's plot last year because she deliberately 'lost' as Kat Black. But Celes had nothing in the rulebook about what happens when someone assumes the identity of a masked wrestler and wins. And so my version of Kat Black is now the World Champion. Of course that means I am the World Champion, as i have little interest in continuing the Kat charade. As for the 'real' Kat Black, one of Celes' favorites, she now has to suffer for the General's omissions."

*Now we see some actual anger, a rare sight, in Jean's eyes.*

[MJC:] "Suffer? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO KAT!?"

[Ruby:] "Oh anger does not look good on you, Miss Carter. But you have no reason to be concerned about Miss Black's safety or health. She is completely unharmed and was never placed at risk by me. In fact, I had nothing to do with her lack of presence here at all. I just feel so bad that her flight from Japan to NY had to be rerouted while in the air and the phone service temporarily interrupted on a career-making night like this. However, she is safe and sound in what I believe to be New Jersey and probably trying frantically to contact you right about-"

*Coach reaches into her pocket and pulls out her cell phone which had just vibrated. She flips it open with tears in her eyes.*

[MJC:] "Kat? Kat is that you? Oh...you're...you're ok? Are you sure? I'm so sorry that- No i should have been more careful but...you sure you're ok? Ok. Do you know what happened? Oh...Kat, I'm so sorry but I'll stop this. We'll talk soo-"

*Ruby closes Jean's phone for her with a look of concern.*

[Ruby:] "Now now. With the Orochi-O's Owner 'incapacitated' and its stock plummeting, I wouldn't want you all going into debt with expensive cell phone charges. More importantly, you and I aren't finished talking yet. It would be rude and shortsighted for you to engage in such a pedestrian conversation with Kat on the historic first night of this new era."

[MJC:] "New...era?"

[Ruby:] "Naturally. OG-Joshi has finally taken its place under my guiding light. OG-Joshi has finally taken its first solid step towards its true destiny. And OG-Joshi's greatest prize has finally been taken away from Holly and Geese. Regretfully, neither of them are currently conscious to see this moment. But I do not believe their condition to be permanent. And yet when they awaken, this part of their world will be dependent on a decision that you shall make for everyone. Because the only question left for OG-Joshi, Miss Carter, is one of a Coach's ability to make tough roster decisions when the 'game is on the line.'"

[MJC:] "What...what do you mean?"

[Ruby:] "I thought putting it into sports parlance would please our 'Coach' but I guess I have to take the direct approach."

[MJC:] "You are enjoying drawing this out. You need the attention, don't you?"

*Ruby's face shows a rare trace of anger which she tries to cover up but instead lets fully extend into a scowl, and then twists that into a smile. She then speaks very deliberatively, pausing for a half second after every word.*

[Ruby:] "Fire Rose Moreno or you will never see this Championship in OG-Joshi again."

*Jean's eyes widen in fear as Ruby exits the ring. Before Genji Security can do anything, Gauntlet Security members come from the crowd and clear a path for Ruby who saunters out of the arena with the OG-Joshi World Championship belt raised high over her head. MJC turns pale and falls down to her knees in the middle of the ring as Luke Kisiera runs out from backstage to be with her. Meanwhile, Visper Karr, who had been recovering on the outside slides into the ring and looks to be apologizing to Jean. But Jean hugs Visper and then Luke and walks backstage with them past a silent and still shocked crowd. The show comes to a close.*

OG-FPD Ragnarok - Night 2

2010-12-31T18:54:00.003-05:00

Night 2 - December 14th, 2010

Special Note: There's a lot of commentary for both nights so it's not so easy to quickly navigate. I'll be providing "codes" so you can get to any section of the show you want quickly and with minimal hassle. I would not advise checking out the main event of each Night without having some story context and I do truly believe the enjoyment of every match is greatly enhanced through commentary narration of why each has been made.

At the very least, the codes will give some easy jumping/browsing capacity for those who may want to watch the show in a different order then it is presented in or to return quickly to where you left off (cause it would be insane to watch this all in one sitting. And believe me, having written all of this, I know insanity pretty well!) Enjoy!

*The Ragnarok Night 2 hype video starts off the show. After it's over we are joined once again by John Randolph in the UBL Battle Chamber and Coach Jean Carter in the OG-Joshi auditorium. However, unlike Night 1, Jean Carter is herself joined by Luke Kisiera.

[John:] "Welcome everyone to Ragnarok Night 2!"

[MJC:] "And I'd like to introduce my special friend and bodyguard, Luke Kisiera!"

[Luke:] "Uh, hi everyone!"

[MJC:] "After what happened at Night 1, I kinda wanted to have some back-up."

[Luke:] "I would have come out even sooner then-"

[MJC:] "Shh, we already talked about it. You had been through a hard fight earlier on and 'she' attacked me before anyone could do anything to stop it."

[John:] "Well three looks like it may be a crowd here-"

[MJC:] "Oh sorry, John.

[Luke:] "I'm really just here to protect Jean. I don't need to say anything."

[John:] "Considering you're taking an awfully long time to respond..."

[MJC:] "Luke, silly, you can talk! But for now, let's just check out the matches!"

*The Orochi-Tron's in both arenas show the match listing

Quote:

Night 2:

1) Land Mine Death match: Tiger Sword vs. Athrin
2) Naomi vs. Ayame Yamato
3) OG-Joshi Tag Titles: Dod Squod vs. Reed Sisters (c)
4) Last Man Standing: Jason Hyde vs. Thunder Strike
5) OG-Joshi World Title: Kat Black vs. Visper Karr (c)
6) Kyle Walker/Orochi Geese vs. Clyde/Figaro

[Luke:] "Did uh...anyone see that part about the 'codes' from before?"

[MJC:] "C-codes?"

[John:] "...combat codes?"

[Luke:] "Cause that part already listed the matches so it's like we did it twice."

[John:] "A full night of matches tonight, that is for sure, Mr. Kisiera."

[MJC:] "So uh, anyone notice something 'new' about the card?"

[John:] "Over the last week, Athrin came to Drake Yoshida and asked if he could make their match into a Land mine death match. Drake didn't know quite what to say but then Geese actually green lighted the match provided Tiger Sword was ok with it. And lo and behold, Sword obliged. So folks, the potential violence of that match just went up like 100 decibels. And unfortunately Jean, you have a near front row seat."

[MJC:] "So let's get beyond this as soon as possible. I was really hoping to begin the show with Naomi vs Ayame but due to the difficulty and amount of time required for the ring crew to set up the barbed wire land mine Tennessee snorkling mesquite BBQ potato chip match-"

[Luke:] "Or to say that-"

[MJC:] "Drake wanted to have that match start first. That way it would all be set up before the show started and minimum time would be wasted."

[Luke:] "But...isn't this match going be in the UBL ring and not the OG-Joshi one anyway? They could have the match set up by the time Naomi and Ayame finished up."

[MJC:] "Hey you're right! I've been bamboozled!"

[John:] "Say, Jean...not that I'm unhappy about this but I'm kind of surprised how remarkably chipper you are after the events of last night."

[MJC:] "Well no sense in dwelling on unhappy possibilities that didn't happen. Plus, I got a great support system to help me move forward."

[John:] "So you're ok with everything?"

[MJC:] "No, not at all. But like I said last night, I'm trying my best not to use my commentary role as a soapbox to give my personal thoughts. Obviously in some cases that's harder then others but I have to keep trying. I'll have a chance to talk to the roster and the fans after Ragnarok and then I'll be candid. But this show isn't about me, even if certain people tried to make it that way. I will just thank Mr. Clyde for his actions."

[Luke:] "As will I."

[MJC:] "And we'll move onto the next match, whether I like the stipulations here or not."

[John:] "So we're starting with the death match."

[MJC:] "I guess the upside is that Ayame and Naomi can wipe everyone's memories clean with QUALITY after the unnecessary ultraviolence here."

(Code: RN2-1C )

[John:] "It may be unnecessary to some, but to Athrin and Sword, it's the next logical step of their rivalry. From Athrin and Fuzen Tara Seitan injuring Sword last November, to Sword coming back and defeating Athrin in two straight matches, these two have been at each other's throats."

[MJC:] "Aside from everything going on with Geese, I think the Athrin and Sword rivalry has been the most violent feud in UBL or at least tied with Marauder and Naja Mask."

[John:] "Which is saying something cause UBL hasn't been so user-friendly recently."

[Luke:] "You're telling me! Matt had to go to the hospital after Night 1 to get stitches!"

[MJC:] "The scary thing is that weapons ARE legal in this upcoming match. In fact, the entire ring is a weapon!"

[John:] "Barbed wire everywhere and not to one-up you Jean, but the scary thing to me is that there's no real escape. If you go outside the ring, you'll step...or fall...onto the exploding landmines."

[Luke:] "They're explodey."

[John:] "Hmm?"

[Luke:] "Yeah, not the best choice of dialogue there either, sorry."

[MJC:] "Athrin and Sword are about to do horrific things to each other but first, we have the debut of the new Fuzen Tara Seitan entrance video which apparently Geese funded."

[John:] "Geese and Athrin have a sense of mutual respect. They co-produced the Battle Formation show in 2009 and have tag teamed together in FPCPP. I'm not quite sure how deep that alliance goes but Geese put a promotional video together for FTS and wants it shown tonight so..."

[MJC:] "No arguing with thim there."

[John:] "Exactly."

Fuzen Tara Seitan video

[MJC:] "And that doubles as a ring entrance for Athrin who has come down here. During the video, we actually had Tiger Sword come to the ring. He was leaning against the turnbuckle watching the video and smirking."

[John:] "He seemed amused by the video and actually mocked the swirling part by spinning in a circle."

[MJC:] "He was not impressed. Luke...are you ok?"

[Luke:] "The spinny part of the video made me feel...spinny."

[MJC:] "Yeah it will do that. Have some ginger ale, Luke."

[John:] "Now, Athrin and Sword are both in the ring in a staredown. Sword is mock clapping at Athrin's video and yelling "Encore" but Athrin doesn't seem fazed by Sword's attitude and is just pointing to the barbed wire and then the landmines as if to say: "You're future resting place."

[MJC:] "Not just 'as if to say', Athrin actually just said that out loud after you said it!"

[John:] "I'd feel much more comfortable if I hadn't just read Athrin's mind."

[MJC:] "As would we all, John. As would we all. I'd also feel more comfortable if we didn't have to watch this match now. But Geese wanted violence and...here we go."

[John:] "That was to the point."

[MJC:] "I'd rather that match didn't have such a clear statement."

[John:] "Sword made an impressive comeback here but Athrin is too at home in this environment."

[MJC:] "I don't see how ANYONE could be comfortable in a match where your body is on fire and ripped apart with barbed wire, John."

[John:] "I don't get it either but Athrin seemed to enjoy getting punished as much as he did dishing it out. Maybe that's what allowed him to fight past Sword's huge rally to finish him with the Demon Driver."

[MJC:] "But Sword made a nice comeback and almost had the match won on a few occasions, especially the Tiger Suplex right before the Demon Driver."

[John:] "You do have to give Athrin credit for his resiliency there."

[MJC:] "I have to give him credit for ending it before it got even MORE violent."

[John:] "Can't argue with that."

[Luke:] "I'm glad none of my candy dropped out of my pocket and rolled onto the mines."

[MJC:] "Candy are mainly for eating, not exploding."

[Luke:] "We feel the same way about candy."

Tiger Sword (X) ["Demon Driver" - 14:59] (O) Athrin Kazama

(Code: RN2-2C )

[MJC:] "And now it's time to get to one of my most awaited matches for this show and specific night. Naomi faces her part-time teacher Ayame Yamoto, formerly known as Tigress Mask."

[John:] "Now if I'm correct, this match is actually somewhat of an inter-brand match?"

[MJC:] "That's right, John. Since Naomi is on Voltage and Ayame is on Amplitude, this is one of the first true Voltage vs. Amplitude matches. However, given that the two are close friends and Naomi was only recently placed on Voltage, there aren't too many wrestlers backstage who are fanning the flames between the rosters."

[Luke:] "Stop, drop and roll."

[John:] "...maybe just stop."

[MJC:] "Now now, John. Since kids are allowed to watch this next match, unlike the last one, they should hear what to do in a fire. Good lesson, Luke!"

[Luke:] "Thanks!"

[MJC:] "
But they should also hear why this match is going to happen. Naomi used to be part of the KENTA! Army along with Keina, 'Shino', and 'Hiromi', the latter two now known as Hae-Won and Sako Dasumi, the Heckions."

[John:] "Don't you mean Hellions?"

[MJC:] "I don't like that word."

[John:] "In any case, I think we ALL remember KENTA! Army, if for no other reason then their voices and uh, enthusiasm."

[MJC:] "Unfortunately some of that enthusiasm turned negative as Shino took over the group and started harassing Naomi and Keina. Tigress Mask saw it happening and helped Naomi out by giving her confidence and some knowledge of submissions. Shino reacted negatively to that, challenged Tigress, and lost. However, she also stole the mask of Tigress, revealing her identity: Ayame Yamato. Naomi was so upset with Shino's actions that she challenged her to a match and beat her. Keina helped get the mask back for Ayame and SHINO Army disbanded."

[John:] "Well Jean, that sounds pleasant but why are these two facing each other now?"

[MJC:] "There's obviously no bad blood between Naomi and Ayame. Instead, Ayame wants to test how far along Naomi has come in the ring. This is simply a competition between two wrestlers who respect each other and want to put on an exciting encounter for the fans. I know, right? SHOCKING that such a match could ever take place!! But that's what we do in OG-Joshi. We shock the world with non-apocalyptic based competition."

[John:] "That should be on a T-shirt. So...gasp...these two won't carve each other up?"

[MJC:] "Nope!"

[John:] "Well then, let's get to the match!"

[MJC:] "Naomi has come out and she looks somewhat passive."

[Luke:] "A little 'deer in headlighty', an expression I know all too well."

[MJC:] "Rudolph Kisiera."

[Luke:] "Drake finally let me play in the reindeer games."

[John:] "Ok, ok, we get it."

[MJC:] "Luckily the crowd is giving Naomi a lot of support. I see many of them holding Naomi signs and cheering loudly for her which I'm glad to see. She's becoming a real success story with her added confidence and victories in the ring while still being just as humble and nice to everyone backstage. That's inspiration material as far as I'm concerned."

[John:] "And Ayame is out next to an equally large reaction. Ayame has been around in OG-Joshi for a while, isn't that correct?"

[MJC:] "Not only that, but she's had a LOT of success. She won the Kaori NiGHT Invitational Tournament in 2006 mere months after joining OG-Joshi. That was actually the first OG-Joshi tournament we ever had. And her best 2 out of 3 falls match with Dizzy at OG-Joshi Unleashed was very highly regarded. Tigress came extremely close to winning that but Dizzy willed it out at the end. You really can't underestimate Ayame's abiities. In fact, the reason Dizzy faced her was because Dizzy wanted to improve herself against submission wrestlers. She specifically chose Ayame for that match."

[John:] "So we're looking at a wrestler highly respected by the roster and fans and from what I remember, she defeated Shino pretty handily when they fought."

[MJC:] "As angry as Shino was at Tigress for trying to meddle in their affairs, Shino had no answer to Tigress' superior submission and aerial abilities."

[John:] "But will Naomi?"

[MJC:] "That's a tough one, John. I don't really know where Naomi stands right now in terms of her skills. She defeated Kim Cross during voltage this Fall and that was possibly the upset of the year. Kim Cross defeated Jo Ryder, after all, in addition to Lana and many others. For Naomi to have beaten her was really the win of her young career."

[John:] "So even though styles tend to make fights, confidence does too. If Naomi could beat Kim and use that confidence to take on Tigress, she has a shot."

[MJC:] "She has a shot. I don't see this as a huge underdog match, not after Naomi beat Kim. But I wouldn't exactly put them on the same level either just due to Ayame's experience and the fact she's clearly coming into this more confident and less shaky."

[John:] "This is also the biggest stage Naomi has ever been on. Whereas Ayame has wrestled on Anniversary shows before, like in the Invitational Tournament, and even high card PPV matches like against Dizzy. She's way more comfortable in the spotlight."

[MJC:] "Right, yet another reason Naomi has that wide-eyed look. And now that Ayame is coming down to the ring, you can see her confidence."

[John:] "Just a completely relaxed but focused demeanor. No anxiety. Even though the crowd is cheering for her, she has her sights set on this match. A great example of how to approach a big encounter and I hope all the rookies, in both feds, are paying attention to this."

[MJC:] "Luke, I think that means you too."

[Luke:] "Oh right!"

[MJC:] "Ayame's in the ring and goes over to shake Naomi's hand. Naomi looks a bit freaked out but Ayame whispers something to her and Naomi seems to calm down. They shake hands and the ref rings the bell. Let's get to it!"

(Code: RN2-2M )

Match 8: Naomi vs. Ayame Yamato

Naomi starts off with a dropkick that must have been at least 3 feet wide to the right.

[Luke:] "Maybe she adjusted for wind resistance."

[John:] "We're indoors."

[MJC:] "Exactly."

Ayame looks confused at the tactic/whiff and Naomi blushes. Ayame sighs and immediately rushes Naomi and forces a double leg takedown.

[John:] "This may seem overly aggressive but I bet Ayame thinks the only way to get Naomi past the early match jitters is to get her right into the thick of action."

Ayame pauses in the top mount and doesn't do anything to allow Naomi a chance, which pays off for Naomi as she reverses it into a backwards pin attempt. Ayame easily kicks out but Naomi looks a bit more calm now. Enough so that she picks Naomi up and irish whips her against the turnbuckles and this time actually connects with a dropkick!

[Luke:] "Wind to the South east now."

[MJC:] "I thought Matt was the weather expert of your team."

[Luke:] "Heh heh."

Ayame rolls backwards after the dropkick and uses the momentum to quickly get onto her feet. She then runs at Naomi, who had her guard down, and hits her own dropkick. Naomi flies into the turnbuckle. Ayame runs at her but rather then attacking, she jumps over her onto the post at the exact time Naomi rolled forward to avoid a suspected attack. Naomi doesn't realize Ayame is up top and gets hit with a flying hurracarana when she turns around!

[MJC:] "Ayame is incredibly clever and has a great sense of ringswomanship."

Naomi rolls out to the floor and takes a few deep breaths. The fans cheer her on and Ayame even claps for her to come back in. She does so and surprisingly charges Ayame! Ayame jumps straight up to avoid a possible double leg takedown but Naomi expects it and actually takes Ayame down from behind with a takedown in the air. She gets into backmount and transitions into a front face lock. Then she puts on a guillotine choke!

[MJC:] "Wow, looks like Naomi is getting a bit more comfortable in there."

Ayame is able to loosen Naomi's grip by grabbing her arm and then turns it into a kimura. Naomi immediately grabs the ropes with her legs and Ayame lets go. Naomi shakes her arm out and looks a bit scared.

[MJC:] "Ayame Yamato and Haley Cannon are feared for their submissions for good reason. Naomi only had her arm in that hold for a split second and turned pale as a result."

[John:] "Naomi is getting better in the ring but i think it's foolish to try to go hold for hold with Ayame. If Naomi wants to use submissions, fine, just do them after another move rather then try to force them on someone with better experience."

Naomi shakes her hand out and starts running around the ring in literal circles around Ayame."

[Luke:] "Then there's always the insanity strategy. Cause sometimes you just have to lose your mind!"

[MJC:] "Not now, dear."

[Luke:] "I know, it just felt good to say that out loud."

Ayame appears confused as to what's going on but Naomi has built up such a head of steam that when she jumps at Ayame with a flying cross body block, Ayame can't counter her. A near surprise fall gets the 2 count but Ayame kicks out. Then Naomi then uses her momentum to hook Ayame into a double arm suplex and executes it perfectly.

[MJC:] "Naomi used to use the Tiger Driver as her finisher so that double arm suplex was a good setup. I'm sure Ayame wasn't expecting such an explosive move."

Ayame gets up but runs right into a snap suplex. The crowd is going nuts here at Naomi's rally but she is staying on task and not getting distracted. As Ayame is getting up, Naomi runs the ropes for a rebound jumping splash! She gets another 2 count!

[John:] "I think we underestimated Naomi tonight."

Ayame brushes herself off and smiles, even claps. Naomi lowers her guard and that second of tentativeness allows Ayame to jump through the air with a knee!!

[MJC:] "That's a good lesson for Naomi. Don't let your opponent distract you!"

Naomi gets pushed back against the ropes and rebounds into a flying jujigatame by Ayame! Naomi again struggles as her arm is in danger. She is able to use her free arm to clutch her affected arm and neutralizes the hold to the point both women are in a tug of war. Then Naomi kips-up which sends the crowd into a huge ovation and also lifts Ayame up and drops her on her head!

[MJC:] "What a move!! Not only did she free herself, but that also acted like a small DDT!"

Naomi rubs her arm trying to get feeling back into it while Ayame rubs her head. The two square off in the ring again and Ayame goes for a double leg tackle. Naomi jumps up but Ayame catches her on her shoulder and goes into a waterwheel drop. Then Ayame flips backward and grabs Naomi by the legs for a float over pin! The manuever pops the fans but only gets a 2. As both women begin to get up, Ayame is quicker and shoots on Naomi again but only manages to get top guard. Naomi tries for a triangle choke but slips which gives Ayame enough time to grab top mount. Ayame starts hitting Naomi with mounted shoteis causing Naomi to roll over to protect her face. Then Ayame grabs a rear naked choke.

[MJC:] "Oh that's not good for Naomi. Ayame has won plenty of matches like this!"

Naomi looks like she's about to tap out but Ayame yells for her to hang on and find a way out. Hard since Ayame has her legs around her waist in addition to the choke. But Naomi starts rolling and gets enough momentum to get over to the ropes. The crowd cheers and Ayame lets go of the hold. Naomi is up first, half gasping for air and runs into Ayame who kicks her in the stomach and then attempts her float over shiranui!"

[MJC:] "That's the old finisher of Tigress Mask!"

But as Ayame is landing from jumping backwards, Naomi drops and hits a Pele kick!! Ayame is sent careening backwards into the ropes and then forward into a stomach kick by Naomi!"

[MJC:] "She's going for another double arm suplex!"

Naomi hits it but then hangs onto the suplex, floats over, and applies a butterfly lock! Ayame looks to be in some trouble here as she was not expecting this at all."

[MJC:] "Wow! That was pretty impressive!"

Naomi hangs on and Ayame struggles to reach the ropes but she can't get her body to move due to how she is being contorted by the hold. Finally after a minute of struggling, her foot taps the mat and the ref calls for the bell!

[MJC:] "Naomi did it!"

Naomi (O) [Butterfly Lock - 14:00] (X) Ayame Yamato

[Luke:] "What a match! Congratulations to Naomi!"

[John:] "You definitely have to hand it to both competitors for this match. To the audience too for their understanding and appreciation of what was going on. This wasn't just a match but a challenge from Ayame to rise to the occasion and Naomi met it head on."

[MJC:] "And I think we may have a little ceremony as a result."

[John:] "There's...more?"

[MJC:] "One of the reasons for the challenge, actually."

*Jean stands up and takes a black bag out from under the table. She gets into the ring and gives it to Ayame after shaking hands with both women. Then she goes back to commentary.*

[John:] "Is there a bowling ball in there?"

[MJC:] "Haha, no."

[color=beige]*Ayame opens the bag and takes something out. It's the Tigress Mask! She goes over and whispers to Naomi. Naomi shakes her head no quickly and looks frightened. Ayame smiles and taps her on the shoulder before looking seriously at her. Naomi tentatively reaches for the mask which Ayame begins to hand over. The crowd is going nuts here and finally Naomi holds the mask. Ayame lets go of it but raises Naomi's hand up in the air to further applause. Then Naomi looks at the mask with her same wide eyed look and back at Ayame who nods again. Naomi begins to put the mask on and the crowd is on their feet with a standing ovation. Ayame helps Naomi with the mask and finally, it's on. Jean grabs a house microphone.*

[MJC:] "The winner of this match and the one chosen to be Tigress Mask II, Naomi!"

[color=beige]*Naomi and Ayame hug in the ring and pose on all four turnbuckles waving to the fans. Finally they go backstage to massive standing applause.*

[John:] "Wow, Jean. That was really something!"

[MJC:] "Ayame told me about this when she was making her initial challenge. She said after all they had been through, Naomi had the spirit of the Tigress Mask. And if she could beat her, she would be next in line."

[John:] "That's really quite a moment in the careers of both women. Naomi is one of the few wrestlers to publicly put on a mask and assume that identity."

[MJC:] "Sometimes a mask isn't about concealing one's identity, but emphasizing it."

[John:] "Well said. And representing the lineage of that Tigress Mask is a big deal."

[MJC:] "Naomi now has a new set of challengs ahead of her, living up to and exceeding the history of that mask. And Ayame believes she can do it."

[John:] "This was the exact opposite outcome from the previous match between mentor and student."

[MJC:] "No barbed wire and fiery explosions, just pro wrestling and the passing of the torch."

[Luke:] "Just the right parts of pro wrestling."

[MJC:] "Exactly, Luke. Now we're gonna let the fans soak in the moment a bit longer. We'll be back after these commercials."

*We head to commercials giving us highlights of the Battle Formation show held in 2009. The commercial ends with the words:"'Man is destined for war. Our ring is destined to be their battlefield.' Universal Battle League. Kirin Dojo. Battle Formation 2011: Coming this Spring to a theater of war near you."*

[John:] "Wow, that's some big news. Battle Formation 2 coming in 2011."

[MJC:] "Hopefully UBL wrestlers are healthy enough to compete at that show!"

[John:] "That is a legit concern. Luckily we have a big roster though. And if I remember, the last Battle Formation was actually the first public showcase of the Front Lines. So perhaps Battle Formation 2 will also offer opportunities to our younger and newer wrestlers."

[Luke:] "If I get in formation, do I get to sing one of those fun military songs?

[John:] "Uh..."

[Luke:] "I don't know what I've been told..."

[John:] "You can take that up with Drake."

[Luke:] "The gum under this desk is actually mold."

[MJC:] "It used to be gum but Figaro kept adding more gum to it and then well..."

[Luke:] "Time makes fools of us all, as a wise man once said."

[MJC:] "Yep."

[John:] "I uh...ok what's next?"

(Code: RN2-3C )

[MJC:] "Well hate to do this to ya UBL, but we got another OG-Joshi match coming up. And another chance to show the world what pro wrestling is really about. Only problem is, not everyone in this match may share that philosophy or goal."

[John:] "Considering what happened during the Battalion Finale with the male Dods, maybe you shouldn't be hyping this match just yet as representative of OG-Joshi."

[MJC:] "I think this will turn out all right, but we have the standard Dod disclaimer..."

[Luke:] "Or Dodsclaimer."

[MJC:] "That applies here. Jane and Polly have the chance to become the OG-Joshi Tag Team Champions and a Dod near gold is the most dangerous Dod of them all."

[John:] "Let's just hope there isn't any stray space capsules here or LRI members to help out."

[MJC:] "Well as I told Jane and Polly, if there are any shenanigans tonight, I will tear up their contracts. And at the very least, if they win with a tactic i don't approve of, I may just have them put their title on the line immediately after."

[John:] "The match tonight!?"

[MJC:] "Any time, John. If the Dods think they can push OG-Joshi around like they did to UBL, they've got another thing coming. But right now, their fight is with the Reed Sisters, the OG-Joshi Tag CHAMPIONS, and not little ole me."

[Luke:] "Us. Jean. Not with us. Any fight against you is a fight against me."

[MJC:] "Awwwe..."

[John:] "Ahem, very touching."

[MJC:] "Yeah, heart of a hero, that Luke. Anyway, The Reed Sisters have incredible momentum right now. From their break out moment against Crimson Mask and Lori Cuozzo back in February, to Harmony's incredible victory over Jane Dod and Kaori NiGHT, to beating J*NiGHT for the titles at Illumination, to beating Chanel and Lorelai at the November Voltage. They have gone undefeated, became Champions, and more importantly, acted like them. They are taking all comers, trying to help out any tension in OG-Joshi, and are becoming friends of mine. But above all, they are showing the world what OG-Joshi is about. I want you to look at that team and think they represent us to the fullest, much like Visper Karr does."

[John:] "And the Dods?"

[MJC:] "Jane and Polly have behaved better in OG-Joshi then the male Dods in UBL. I'll give them that. They also didn't cheat to get this Title shot. Jane Dod won a tag Battle Royale at Amplitude and faced J*NiGHT after Kaori won a tag Battle Royale at Voltage. The Dods beat J*NiGHT cleanly and earned this match. They also tried to cause some other trouble but I put a stop to that. Point being, when the Dods behave and focus on winning, they tend to do so. But they can become frustrated against tough teams and take shortcuts."

[John:] "That's kind of the Dod tendency in general. Jack Dod won plenty of matches in PW-W, EFW, and UBL cleanly. Very often he's more of a danger outside of a match but when he puts his head down and just focuses on wrestling or even brawling, he can win with a minimal disruption of the rules. And we all know Caleb Dod can just win by staring down his opponent due to his enormous size."

[MJC:] "Same here with Polly. She's a female hoss. The Dods outweigh the Reeds and have more experience then them. Jane Dod is a former EFW Women's Champion and Polly is a former PW-W Women's Champion. They work together extremely well, each have a defined and dominant style, and they know how to distract the referee. But there's one thing they didn't do. They didn't beat J*NiGHT when they were champions. J*NiGHT beat them at Renaissance to retain their titles, and then lost the titles to the Reeds. So the Reeds had some edge there, whether it was a style difference or more desire. Why did the relatively inexperienced Reeds beat J*NiGHT and the Dods couldn't? Maybe we'll find out tonight."

[John:] "Well this is the first Championship the Reeds tastes. But you said it yourself, the Dods are already quite accomplished and skilled. It may come down to hunger."

[Luke:] "Ask Matt Rivers. Have you seen who he's been beating durinng Orochi-O's TV? Did you see how close he came to winning us the match last night had Snake Mountain not cheated? Sometimes it's all about the hunger new wrestlers have. I know it, he knows it. The Reeds know it. It may not make us punch better but we'll punch harder because of it."

[MJC:] "Very well said, Luke."

[John:] "But perhaps the Dods are even more hungry after having been stopped in their initial Tag Title match. Sometimes it takes some resistance to make someone want it more. To make them feel like it means even more then they first thought. If the Dods now understand that, the Reeds may be in for some major problems."

[MJC:] "The Dods had a winning year overall, but they didn't enjoy quite as much success as the Reeds. And Jane even lost to Harmony in that triple threat Title match with Kaori. Had Jane won that match, it would have been the Dods facing J*NiGHT at Illumination and not the Reeds. So perhaps there's some jealousy or resentment there, something that will fuel the Dods to fight harder. But perhaps something that will give the Reeds more confidence."

[John:] "I think we're gonna find out now as the Dods are coming out and DO look incredibly focused."

[MJC:] "Jane isn't even jawing with the fans here, she's just marching to the ring. And Polly is doing the same, not stopping to do any cheerleader poses."

[John:] "And here come the Reeds and I gotta say, they're getting as much love from the crowd as anyone we've seen the last two nights. This is right up there with Naomi and Ayame's support from before, and the ovation both women in the Amplitude Title match got after it was over."

[MJC:] "They are interacting with the fans but this is normal for them. The fan energy gives them extra motivation rather then distracts them. They know that as representatives of OG- Joshi, the fans look up to them as role models. They accept that role, they relish it, and they give that attention and love right back to the crowd."

[John:] "And they do look quite ready. They don't appear to be intimidated by the Dods but they certainly don't look overconfident. Rather they are carefully getting into the ring so as not to be attacked before they are ready."

[MJC:] "Smart move."

[John:] "Both teams are in and here we go."

[MJC:] "OG-Joshi Tag Team Championship - who walks out of 2010 with them!?"

[MJC:] "Wow! I can't believe that!"

[John:] "That the Reeds won?"

[MJC:] "No! That Harmony ended it that way!"

[John:] "It was pretty sudden..."

[MJC:] "No, not just that. It was like the same way that Harmony beat Kaori in that triple threat with Jane! She interrupted a move, in this case, Jane taunting Melody, with that somersault kick and then used the moonsault!"

[John:] "Very fitting that Harmony defended their titles with the same combination that gave them their first chance to challenge for them."

[MJC:] "Indeed! You also gotta love the HUGE bulldog that Melody used on Jane to allow her to tag in Harmony at the end!"

[John:] "That was the definition of a 'hot tag' considering Harmony's energy level and win right after."

[MJC:] "I thought the Dods had them in major trouble, John. I really did. But the Reeds showed such heart here, such ability to come back from adversity. They really are our true Tag Team Champions. You look at them, you look at Naomi, you look at Molly Cule, and the future of OG-Joshi is bright. So many young wrestlers have stepped up in a big way this year."

Polly/Jane Dod (X) [Moonsault - 27:27] (O) Harmony/Melody Reed

[John:] "Meanwhile, the Dods are kinda of speechless. They don't seem to know what to do next."

[MJC:] "Let me help them out."

*Jean takes the house mic again*

[MJC:] "Ladies? Yes, I'm speaking to you two, Jane and Polly. Very nice effort but let's not ruin a great match by doing anything that your contracts will regret. You'll get another shot if you keep wrestling at this level but any post match attacks tonight will lead to firing."

[John:] "I think they got the message as they're going backstage."

[MJC:] "Luke, come with for a sec?"

*Jean and Luke go into the ring where Jean hands the Reed Sisters their titles and raises their hands to huge applause from the fans. Luke is just making sure the Dods don't try anything as Jean celebrates with Melody and Harmony. The Tag Champs go backstage and Jean and Luke return to the table.*

[John:] "Well that was certainly nice to see."

[MJC:] "It was great being there. Illumination seems to have taken hold in some ways in OG- Joshi."

[Luke:] "Thanks to you, Coach."

[MJC:] "That's sweet but it's not just me. It's women like the Reeds, Visper, Kat, as well as those like the Dods who seem to finally be cooperating."

[Luke:] "Thanks to your strategies."

[MJC:] "You sure know how to make compliments hard to turn down!"

(Code: RN2-4C )

[John:] "And now let's get to a match which the wrestlers could not turn down."

[MJC:] "Segue worked!"

[John:] "Thank you. So we prepare now for a Last Man Standing match between two former, and perhaps current, allies. It's kind of hard to tell but Jason Hyde and Thunder Strike have not been so chummy with each other recently."

[MJC:] "I respect Thunder Strike's abilities in the ring but I have to say that he's been rude to me in the past for no reason. All I did was try to interview the guy once during the Singles league and he refused to talk to me. I'm not a mean person!"

[Luke:] "You can say that again."

[MJC:] "I'm not a mean person!"

[John:] "Kudos on going with that. Now Thunder and Jason have had some tension related to how J.U.S.T.I.C.E. should be done, so to speak."

[MJC:] "Kudos on that!"

[John:] "They joined together initially because of the way Orochi Geese had attacked them both around the time of the UBL reformation in early 2007. Even though they had mutual friends, they really never connected so much as two people who had something positive in common, just negative. They each wanted to stop Geese from hurting more people and doing things that they believed were destructive to the sport."

[MJC:] "The problem came when a certain ingredient was added: Kyle Walker."

[John:] "Kyle and Jason became friends in Japan during the OJ-FWA tournament of the last few years. They wrestled each other, a match which Jason won, and saw they had a lot in common: Similar junior styles, strong support and protective instincts for their sisters, and the fact they were both often underestimated due to their size and experience."

[MJC:] "But the complication here is that Kyle Walker is Holly's brother and Geese has been somewhat of a mentor for him."

[John:] "And since Thunder Strike hates Geese, and also hates Kyle, he was none too pleased when Kyle was added to their J.U.S.T.I.C.E. team during the Battalion Finale after Thunder and Jang were injured by the Dods."

[MJC:] "Thunder was furious, actually. And made plenty of accusations questioning the motives of Geese and Kyle. Understandable. But not so understandable was his rage with Jason. It's true Jason had a difficult choice to make when he accepted Kyle into their team, but given their friendship and Jason's desire to beat the Dods, and stop them from winning the Battalion Titles, I can't really fault Jason's choice."

[John:] "Neither can I. It's at least understandable and debatable but certainly not 100% certain that he was wrong."

[MJC:] "And Thunder should have used his indoor voice when discussing it."

[John:] "It resulted in Thunder pretty much 'pulling rank' with Jason, saying that Thunder is the leader of J.U.S.T.I.C.E. and he expects Jason to do things HIS way. Jason wasn't so happy to hear that as he believes allies could differ with their approaches. He also believed that Thunder had gotten so blinded over his hatred for Geese that he wasn't seeing things properly. That Geese actually didn't try to taint or corrupt Jason by allowing Kyle to join his team. Heck, Jason could have chosen anyone, Geese set no limits. Geese wanted to see the Dods lose more then he wanted to see Thunder angry, in my view. And I'd even go as far to say that Geese wanted the Dods to lose more then he wanted Kyle to get gold: At least during those specific circumstances with how the Dods destabilized the league."

[MJC:] "I think that's right. We were both there. Granted we weren't backstage but the scene was pretty clear to me. Geese was furious that the Dods messed with the main event and the legitimacy of the Title belts themselves by attacking their upcoming opponents. Geese was actually angry that the Dods beat up Thunder Strike. I know that seems shocking and maybe it was even to Geese at times. But the thing about Geese, one of the things that I've always respected about him personally, is that when he isn't directly involved in a Title match, he prefers to play by the rules. It's easier for him to control a stable situation and he knows that a Title defended properly and legitamately brings more money to the UBL. It wasn't in his interest, despite his hatred of Thunder, for the Dods to do what they did. So he let Jason choose anyone to replace Thunder and Jang and even though Geese made Kyle available, he didn't pressure him into picking him. I'm sure he'd have been fine with anyone else that helped Jason win, just as he was fine with Johnny Bingo being chosen."

[John:] "But Thunder couldn't see that. And he's been taking it out on Jason ever since. First he demanded they wrestle and even after Thunder narrowly defeated Jason at the August Circuit show, he still wasn't satisfied. And that's cause the loss didn't change Jason's mind or have it fall in line with what Thunder believed to be the point of J.U.S.T.I.C.E. Jason didn't even want this match tonight. Drake is the one who made it."

[MJC:] "Jason keeps telling Thunder that beating him in a match doesn't make his philosophy right. Might doesn't make right. The irony being that Thunder believing that is similar to Geese in other respects. Winning a match doesn't mean your worldview is correct, or even that your understanding of the facts is. Jason isn't joining forces with Geese, and his friendship with Kyle doesn't seem to be a problem in my view. Heck, Jason is a good guy, I think Kyle would actually benefit from spending time with him."

[John:] "Any, uh, subtext there?"

[MJC:] "Oh none whatsoever! I just mean that Jason and Kyle's alliance isn't a problem! It seems like it was formed for the right reasons."

[John:] "That's the way Drake sees it too. And it's why Drake has made a match for the second UBL Reserves show of 2011 between Jason and Kyle against Thunder and Jang Bae. The winner will-"

[MJC:] "Totally legitimize the 2 year Battalion by holding an actual Championship! John, you have no idea how happy I was to hear that Drake was doing this! 2 long years of hosting that Battalion and I would have been sad if it just faded away into the past. J.U.S.T.i.C.E. or some combination of them should defend that Title and keep the Championship journey going. Give UBL a chance to have as good Tag Title matches as OG-Joshi just did. Or at least strive for them! Let them rise to our example!"

[Luke:] "High-five!"

*Jean and Luke high-five and their hands linger together for a few seconds.*

[John:] "Maybe we better just get to the match here. Jason has come down to the ring to applause. Thunder is out next ignoring the fans who have, in turn, ignored him. Jason goes to offer his hand but Thunder doesn't even acknowledge it and tells the ref to ring the bell."

[MJC:] "Harsh."

[John:] "Pins and submissions can't win this match. Victory can only be earned by knocking your opponent out or by having them stay down for the 10 count. It's Thunder's arsenal of brutal strikes with suplexes against Jason's junior heavyweight style mixed with submissions and aerial moves."

[MJC:] "I wish they'd give us more time to discuss the actual in ring encounter but once again, Thunder isn't making things easy for me. Well, here we go!"

[MJC:] "Wow! What endurance!"

[John:] "I really thought these rules would favor Thunder Strike. He has a harder hitting offense and has knocked out more wrestlers then Jason. But wow, Jason won this decisively."

[MJC:] "You mentioned Thunder's suplexes but Jason has a few high impact drops of his own! That Cascade of his just kept Thunder down! Thunder is a man who's kicked out of the "Raging Bolt" before, John. He's withstood some of the biggest moves in UBL like Marauder's "Proton Accelerator". But the "Cascade" kept him down for the long 10 count. What a huge victory for Jason Hyde!"

[John:] "Thunder had his chances and I didn't think Jason was going to get up a few of those times but he showed what that "Heart of Hyde" could do!"

[MJC:] "Heart of a Hyde-o!"

[Luke:] "Hey!"

[MJC:] "Just kidding Luke! But Jason did show incredible spirit here."

[John:] "And what's most interesting right now is how Jason doesn't look all that satisfied. I mean, he won an incredible match but I don't think he convinced Thunder and he knows it. Nor would he WANT the mere fact that he won to convince Thunder of his views."

[MJC:] "These two are at an impasse. And I don't think any match is gonna change their minds. But Drake wanted to see this. He wanted to see how this would pan out. Maybe because he wanted to stir the pot to make the Battalion Tag Title match even more tense and combative. Or maybe cause he just wanted these two to air their problems out before the match so they could just focus on the Titles?"

[John:] "Either theory is possible. But we'll have to see how they interact after this."

[MJC:] "One thing is for sure: Jason just got a HUGE victory on a HUGE stage over a top UBL wrestler. It's something he did during the Singles league when he beat both Geese and Jack Dod, among others, but it's good to see he hasn't lost his step in singles competition given the long tag league he was involved in. Jason won the Battalion League trophy and while he'll have a chance to win those tag titles, don't count him out of singles rankings."

[John:] "If he wasn't already scheduled to be in that tag title match, you'd have to figure him a top contender for the NEXUS Title. His style against Julian Caesaro's would be incredibly impressive. While I wish Jason luck in his tag match, part of me wants to see him face Julian. But hey, maybe he can do both!"

[MJC:] "Don't discount Jason Hyde. He's shown what he can do when the odds are against him. Beating Geese, Jack Dod, Thunder Strike, and so many more since he came to UBL. The future is as bright for him as anyone on this roster."

Jason Hyde (O) ["Cascade" - 20:57] (X) Thunder Strike

(Code: RN2-5C )

[John:] "And now it's time for the OG-Joshi main event of the night. Jean, excited?"

[MJC:] "Excited? Ecstatic! This is the long awaited match between Kat Black and Visper Karr for the OG-Joshi World Championship! A match we anticipated for close to a year for the biggest prize in OG-Joshi!"

[John:] "Eris Byrne may take exception to that."

[MJC:] "She might but the fact is her Championship is still just a few months old. And even if her own undefeated streak does boost the status of her Title, the OG-Joshi World Title has over five years of tremendous history. You look at the great lineage this title holds. Dizzy, Haley Cannon, arguably Jo Ryder."

[John:] "Arguably?"

[MJC:] "Well there are many fans who count Jo defeating Haley in the triple threat title match at Unleashed as a Title change. However, it was in the same match that Holly then defeated Jo shortly after. By OG-Joshi rules, a triple threat match just awards the final winner, not anyone who may win the falls in the middle."

[John:] "Right, that's a standard triple threat match just about anywhere."

[MJC:] "But Jo did defeat the then reigning OG-Joshi World Champion, Haley Cannon, in that match. It's just that the title didn't technically change hands til Holly beat Jo afterward and was the final survivor. So while the official lineage doens't include Jo, she did beat the World Champion by pinning her cleanly while Holly watched."

[John:] "Sounds to me like you just don't want Holly getting the credit of officially beating the previous Champion. Or that you know how much it would irritate Holly to hear you giving Jo Ryder any Championship claim here."

[MJC:] "Well I'm just calling it like it is. Holly didn't pin, submit, or knock out the reigning champion in that match, Jo did. Then Holly beat Jo. It's nothing out of the ordinary in a Triple Threat title match but it did happen that way. It's also true that Holly went on to defeat Haley 1 on 1 later that year but for those who want to unofficially recognize Jo Ryder as the champion for a few minutes, I could understand how they feel. Especially seeing the contributions she made to this promotion: her time and very credibility, her mentorship of Dizzy, her presence. Just ask the current Champion!"

[John:] "That is true. Jo Ryder did help train Visper Karr. I believe Twinky McLanahan was Visper's other trainer. Quite a lucky student to be trained by those two."

[MJC:] "Visper has a very impressive background and knowledge of pro wrestling. She also has defeated just about everyone in OG-Joshi who has either had the World title or been a top contender. She defeated Jo Ryder and Haley Cannon to get the title shot with Holly, then beat her cleanly. And in the recent Illumination triple threat Title match with Holly and Kat, Visper defended her Title by beating Kat after Kat beat Holly."

[John:] "And that's quite impressive on Kat's behalf. Pinning the former long time World Champion."

[MJC:] "Kat has also defeated her in a 1 on 1 match."

[John:] "The match where Celes was then fired after attacking Holly.."

[MJC:] "To defend Kat from getting hit by a chair swung by Holly."

[John:] "All true."

[MJC:] "And now Kat and Visper finally get to face each other free of any Holly interference. And I think we're primed for one of the best Title matches in OG-Joshi history! And certainly a match that will be a highlight of this show due to its focus on wrestling and competition over hatred."

[John:] "Who is your pick here?"

[MJC:] "I honestly can't choose. I've known Visper for a while. Heck, she helped get me my initial job here as an interviewer! If it wasn't for visper, I probably wouldn't he here right now."

[Luke:] "And if you weren't here, I may not have been either."

[MJC:] "Awwwe."

[John:] "Visper also gave you your 'Mean' moniker."

[MJC:] "I still don't get that."

[Luke:] "You're not mean, Jean."

[MJC:] "Thanks Luke!"

[John:] "Anyway, it seems like both women have a lot of momentum. Now, as you said, Visper did defeat Kat at the end of the Triple threat."

[MJC:] "But Kat just decisively defeated Narai Kaeo at Voltage. Visper recently had a tough match with Molly Cule but won that as well. So Kat got some experience against a strong kicker, like Visper, while Kat got some experiene against well...Molly and Kat don't have that much in common I guess."

[John:] "Male admirers?"

[MJC:] "It's not been proven that Mr. Figaro's allegations are true, if that's what you mean."

[Luke:] "Well we know Molly and Dean Annay have some admiring going on."

[MJC:] "Let's not gossip, Luke!"

[John:] "Narai's parallels with Visper are somewhat incomplete though, right?"

[MJC:] "Even though Visper has knocked out opponents with kicks, she isn't limited to themlike Narai is. Rather, Visper is the total package. She can do everything in the ring. She made Holly pass out with a crossface to win the Title. She pinned Haley Cannon with her Tiger suplex. She rolled up Jo Ryder out of nowhere. If she's anywhere near you, she's a threat."

[John:] "And Kat?"

[MJC:] "Kat is very dangerous in the air. While Visper has a respectable aerial arsenal, Kat has the advantage here. She's also a solid striker, though I'd give the edge to Visper and her running face kick finisher. However, when it comes to suplexes, they're about even. Kat's "Black Out" suplex finisher and brainbusters are extremely effective. I may even give the edge here to Kat, as I would for submissions."

[John:] "Who is quicker?"

[MJC:] "That's gotta be a draw. Kat is quicker getting to the air and flying through it, but Visper can shoot her kicks out with blinding speed as well as suddenly pin you."

[John:] "Who wants it more?"

[MJC:] "Also a draw. Kat craves her first World Title but Visper IS that World Title. She embodies everything it stands for and she had such a long road to get there that she isn't going to lose her motivation anytime soon. In fact, she's here TO compete. And now that Holly is out of the World Title scene, Visper finally gets to defend that title free of corruption. She craves facing women like Kat. While Kat wants to be in the same position to defend that title against those like Visper. They both WANT to be there to face others. It's not an urge to just keep the title and shy away from competition, it's an urge to represent the title by being the best and beating everyone else."

[John:] "We're essentially looking at two similar motivations."

[MJC:] "Their color patterns aren't the only thing they share. They're both here for the right reasons, they're both heavily respected in the locker room, and I'd be happy to have either one of them represent the best of OG-Josni. But they both realize that only one of them can win and even though they respect each other, they aren't going to hold back. We're in for an intense match here, but one that won't leave the fans sick to their stomach."

[Luke:] "Good thing too cause I'm still dizzy from that F.T.S video."

[MJC:] "Someone get Luke some more ginger ale!"

[John:] "Let's get to the match."

[MJC:] "OG-Joshi World Champion, fate chooses who!?"

[John:] "Jean, I have to hand it to you. You made some bold comments leading up to Ragnarok about OG-Joshi not just stealing the show but being the show. And seeing your wrestlers, especially your Champions and contenders, wresle like this, I think you were proven correct. UBL has some catching up to do."

[MJC:]: "...Thanks, John."

[Luke:] "You ok, Jean?"

[MJC:] "Yeah I'm just...I'm just really proud of Kat and Visper, and just about everyone in OG-Joshi the last two nights. What a match this was. You see that World Title and you wonder why so many want it? It's cause of that desire, what these two brought in the ring, that makes the Title worth what it is."

[John:] "Kat Black came so close."

[MJC:] "And she knows that. And that's worth something. It really is. The value of that title largely exists because of how much the top contenders want it and how hard fought these Title matches are. The same goes for the Amplitude and Tag Team Championships. And tonight, both these women added tremendous value to this Title. For Kat to go 30 minutes with the champ is just astounding. Not because I'm surprised at her talent but because its so amazing to watch. I can't help be anything but blown away by experiencing that."

[John:] "We do have a winner though and I'm curious as to what you think the difference here was?"

[MJC:] "I honestly don't know. And I'm not sure I ever will just because I'm not a wrestler. What it takes for one wrestler to win a close match like this and not the other. I don't think its desire because both came so far. Is it perhaps due to the experience that Visper has had in Title matches that Kat hasn't? Again, I don't think that fully explains it."

[John:] "Sometimes a match just flows a certain way."

[MJC:] "Right. No one knows exactly what will happen even two seconds after you do something in the ring, and those little decisions can just lead to one person winning cause they're put in the superior position to do so. Visper felt she could hit her Tiger Driver and she did. If she was a second late in trying, maybe Kat would have hit her brainbuster."

[John:] "So would you say this was a decisive victory?"

[MJC:] "It was a clean victory. But a match that goes 30 minutes where each wrestler has a chance of winning, up to the very end, isn't entirely decisive. There's no doubt Visper won that match and retained her title. But there's doubt that Kat couldn't have done just that had the timing or positioning been even slightly different."

[John:] "And as Coach, what does that situation say to you?"

[MJC:] "Easy. Rematch."

[John:] "In the past, Celes didn't grant rematches to challengers who lost cleanly."

[MJC:] "Well we both have blonde hair but I'm not Celes. And I think OG-Joshi could use more of what we just saw. I think the world of wrestling could use that. Kat will get her rematch, it's just a question of when. But visper, tonight you earned that victory. And if Visper does it again, the matter is settled and we get a new challenger. But this is an example for OG-Joshi. This is what I want to see. This is how I will reward you if I see it. You wrestle like this, win or lose, and you get opportunities. Thank you to Kat and Visper. I could not think of a better match to end 2010 for OG-Joshi then this one."

[John:] "very strong and passionate words from the OG-Joshi Coach."

[Luke:] "Jean, whatever it takes, I'm gonna try to bring the spirit of what we just saw to UBL. No matter how much I have to train or who I have to wrestle. No matter who I have to lose to in order to get better. Or who I have to protect to keep the right tone."

[MJC:] "That's the best thing I've heard all night."

Kat Black (X) [Tiger Driver - 29:03] (O) Visper Karr

(Code: RN2-6C )

[John:] "Well not to ruin the moment but we're about to go from pro wrestling heaven to hell. The main event and the real name sake of this PPV is next."

[MJC:] "It looks like some of the crowd is leaving."

[John:] "Those with younger children were encouraged to come a bit late to miss the land mines match and leave early before this one."

[MJC:] "I know, I sent out the memo!"

[John:] "Haha, that's very true. So, are you gonna stick around for this?"

[MJC:] "I feel the same way about this as the main event for Night 1, though hopefully I'm not involved this time."

[Luke:] "You won't be."

[MJC:] "I feel like I have to see what happens here. I've known Clyde and Figaro for a while, and Geese is my boss. He's the boss. Whateever happens with him here will affect the world of OG-Joshi and UBL. Even though I don't want to witness the violence, I can't turn a blind eye to a situation that could affect me and my roster."

[John:] "A very mature response. And at least you aren't actually up close as I am. This is all going down in the UBL ring."

[MJC:] "Right, that helps too. But situations like this can sometimes spread."

[John:] "That is true. Well, I guess we should start talking about this. But to be honest, I'm not sure what else there is to say that we didn't cover during the Holly and Celes match."

[MJC:] "Kyle Walker. Talk about Kyle Walker."

[John:] "I suppose that's true. He's the most recent addition to the Orochi Army situation. Like we said last night, Clyde and Figaro came to Geese's aid after Holly left him. They became his bodyguards, tag partners, and friends: the latter being the shortest duration. But they never really bonded with Kyle Walker because by the time he entered the situation, they were having a falling out with Geese."

[MJC:] "And also Holly. And that's why Kyle hates them. Cause they started criticizing her on OG-Joshi shows and to her face. And that's it for Kyle. You criticize her and he will hate you. And it went even further then that."

[John:] "After Geese tried to poison Figaro with mind control drugs during last year's Holiday Banquet, they hatched a plan. They were going to get back at him for taking them for granted and hurting a friend. And Figaro did so by acting as if he was under the influence of the drugs, only to reveal the truth when Geese needed a Battalion partner. This led Orochi Army to be short handed and lose their final match and any chance at winning their Block."

[MJC:] "And beforehand, at the prior Voltage, Clyde and Celes came to Kat Black's aid during an attempted Holly plan to win the #1 Contendership. Holly had Sandy Morton dress up as Kat and lose to Holly. But Celes stopped that, let Kat wrestle Holly, and then was the referee for that match. Kat won, Holly flipped out and tried to hit Kat with a chair, and Celes brutally punched Holly in the stomach."

[John:] "And when Geese and Kyle came to attack her, of course Clyde came to her aid. So Kyle hated Celes for the punch, Clyde for the assist, and Figaro for lying to them. Geese felt betrayed by their plan, just as they felt betrayed by Geese's actions towards them. But it has been Kyle who has verbally threatened and physically attempted the most violence."

[MJC:] "Geese has been too angry to speak much about it. But I really wonder what is going on mentally with him. Is Kyle right that Geese doesn't have the heart to take out his former friends? Or is he just so overcome with rage all he can do is act it out in the ring?"

[John:] "Also of note is that our match tonight is no-disqualification, no count out. And it's a tornado tag match. So you pretty much have a formula for complete chaos."

[MJC:] "Speaing of "formula", Geese pledged to have his red vial that turned him rabid at the Battalion Finale and caused him to seriously injure Jeff Monroe. An attack that was mainly intended to just get the attention of his opponents tonight. But that red vial is dangerous. Once Geese drinks it, he seems to be stronger, faster, and more vicious."

[John:] "It is a temporary effect though. At least last time it was. So Geese may be saving it for a time he needs it. As for Kyle, he threatened Clyde and Figaro with a barbed wire baseball bat with a red stapler at the ened. Which is like..."

[MJC:] "Yeah."

[John:] "Exactly. I'm not even capable of knowing what that can do even though I basically saw it done to Jeremiah Jones."

[MJC:] "Minus the barbed wire though. And not assisted by Geese."

[John:] "Folks, we once again caution you that this match isn't for the easily disturbed."

[MJC:] "Kyle promised to end the lives of his opponents. I'm not exactly sure why law enforcement isn't around here. I don't care if you agree to a match, even a violent one, you don't agree to being killed in one. It's still a crime. Just like launching someone into space is. Getting hit by a chair is one thing but murder is never legal anywhere and being in a wrestling ring doesn't suddenly make it ok. The authorities should be here."

[John:] "Well, I think Clyde and Figaro have shown us they aren't push overs. In fact, it was Figaro who threw Kyle 10 feet in the air at Voltage. It was Figaro who once pinned Jack Dod. It was Figaro who took out teams who threatened Clyde."

[MJC:] "It was Clyde who took a bat in the stomach to save Celes from getting hit in the face."

[Luke:] "Clyde and Figaro both have the heart of heroes. I know that first hand."

[MJC:] "And from you, that means something."

[John:] "But can two heroes fight off men with such vicious intent?"

[MJC:] "I think we're about to find out."

[John:] "As it looks like we're about to be graced by the presence of both sides."

[MJC:] "I have to get out of here."

*Jean gets up and quickly walks away with Luke following her.*

[John:] "Jean's dislike for Holly is well stated but there's no one who wants to see violence like that happen less then Jean does. Well, in this case, that goes for Kyle and Geese too. I really don't know what to make of this. Robin "Holly" walker has been attacked backstage and it looks like a very scary and perhaps even life threatening scene. I don't know how much of that blood is hers. Jean was right when she said tonight could change our world. That's what Ragnarok is after all, I just don't think Geese meant it this way."

[John:] "Meanwhile, Clyde and Figaro are gone after a pretty huge victory over Geese. Even Geese with his potion couldn't take them on at once, even if he came close to pinning each of them."

Figaro/Clyde (O) ["Palidor Plunge" - 7 years and change] (O) Orochi Geese/Kyle Walker

[John:] "But I don't even think I can talk about that now. Folks, Sergeant Yoshida is telling me I got to cut this short. This broadcast has to end because there's just too much going on. Holly is hurt badly and I can actually hear the ambulances over the absolutely shocked and quiet crowd. Security is persuing Clyde and Figaro as well as anyone who may have done that to Holly. Where's Celes? Where's Alicia Gordon? Was Dramesi really taken out? These are all questions that...ok, ok. We have to go. Thanks for joining us for Ragnarok, everyone. OG-Joshi will have word on Holly's health as soon as they can. Have a Happy New -"

OG-FPD Ragnarok - Night 1

2010-12-13T05:05:00.003-05:00

Night 1 - December 13th, 2010

Note 1: Even though Night 2 will be posted tentatively around December 27th, it will be treated in story lines as happening one night after this show.

Note 2 There's a lot of commentary on both nights so it's not so easy to quickly navigate. I'll be providing "codes" so you can get to any section of the show you want quickly and with minimal hassle. I would not advise checking out the main event of each Night without having some story context and I do truly believe the enjoyment of every match is greatly enhanced through commentary narration of why each has been made.

At the very least, the codes will give some easy jumping/browsing capacity for those who may want to watch the show in a different order then it is presented in or to return quickly to where you left off (cause it would be insane to watch this all in one sitting. And believe me, having written all of this, I know insanity pretty well!) Enjoy!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -

*The Ragnarok Night 1 hype video starts off the show. Once it is finished, we get a split screen view of both the OG-Joshi and UBL auditoriums in the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena. The camera zooms into the commentary tables for both arenas where we see "Coach" Jean Carter sitting in the OG- Joshi section and John Randolph sitting in the UBL one. The camera further zooms to make it seem like the two are sitting next to each other.*

[MJC:] "Hi John! Can you hear me?"

[John:] "And see you too. Hello Jean!"

[MJC:] "Hello...again! And we hope all of you back home can see and hear us too! Welcome to Ragnarok, the OG-FPD Seventh Anniversary PPV!!"

[John:] "What a show we have for you all! Twelve matches spread across two nights of action!"

[MJC:] "And two commentators!! It's a pleasure to be back in the broadcast booth with you, six months after the Battalion Finale show, even if this booth is a bit bigger and less connecty then usual. "

[John:] "It is weird talking to someone that isn't right next to me but given the things that happen in these two promotions, I'd say it's pretty tame in comparison."

[MJC:] "You got that right. And tonight is sure to be no exception with the number of big matches and big egos here."

[John:] "Let's show the fans what they're in for:

*The Orochi-Tron's in both arenas show the match listing

Night 1:

1) Alicia Gordon vs. Haley Cannon
2) Luke Kisiera/Matt Rivers vs. Nightmare/Dokuja
3) Cage: Marauder vs. Naja Mask
4) OG-Joshi Amplitude Title: Gutter vs. Eris Byrne (c)
5) UBL Nexus Title: Corey O'Brian vs. Julian Caesaro (c)
6) I Quit: Robin "Holly" Walker vs. Celes

[John:] "So this is actually the first time you've commentated a PPV as acting OG-Joshi Coach. Is is strange for you to have a different perspective and responsibility?"

[MJC:] "It definitely is. I told Geese that I wanted to do this tonight but I have to be careful to balance my roles and not bore the fans with administrative stuff."

[John:] "I've never known you to bore anyone, ever."

[MJC:] "No time to start now! Let's get to discussing the first match and not silly ole me!"

(Code: RN1-1C )

[John:] "While I certainly follow OG-Joshi, I think I'll let you take lead on explaining everything given your unique vantage point."

[MJC:] "Likewise to you for UBL. Alicia Gordon and Haley Cannon were 'placed' together by the former General, Celes, in order to calm Alicia's anger. From the time Juli Krieger injured her years ago up until, well, arguably today, Alicia has had anger management troubles. Celes was hoping that Haley's maturity and level headedness would be an asset in Alicia's self-professed desire to recovery. However, that isn't what happened. A number of incidents occurred between the two based on miscommunication and different philosophies and Alicia wanted a clean break from the alliance. So she asked me for this match."

[John:] "Did you have any misgivings in making it?"

[MJC:] "Yes, I did. And while Alicia's recent statement addressed some of my questions, it also added to my concerns."

[John:] "I believe she had some words questioning your leadership."

[MJC:] "Probably the fifth person in the last month, actually. But I was more concerned with the pent up aggression she had as well as her inability to put this behind her. I don't have a problem with two rivals settling their issue in the ring. In fact, I'd much rather they do it there then backstage or in the parking lot. *Jean pauses for a second*. But I didn't think Alicia and Haley even needed to fight each other based on their short term alliance. They had a disagreement, and that was it. No need to team with each other any more but why fight? Neither really hurt the other one in the past."

[John:] "So if you don't mind me asking, why are you still allowing this match?"

[MJC:] "Cause Alicia said one thing that did resonate with me. The fact is that Haley Cannon is a former OG-Joshi World Champion. And let me just clarify something: even though Holly is the longest reigning Champion, it was Haley who established our title as a World Title. So to say she played a big role in the formative period of OG-Joshi is an understatement. Just as it would be to say she's still competitive. I'd personally rank her in the top five of Voltage wrestlers just based on her track record and ability to win a match at any second."

[John:] "Alicia indirectly touched on that topic by mentioning that Haley has one of the highest rates of causing injury to her opponents due to her powerful submission holds."

[MJC:] "I can't argue statistics but I can argue intent. And there hasn't been one wrestler that Haley has wanted to hurt. Even when she broke Holly's leg, she felt bad about it. This is a rough sport and sometimes injuries do happen. But in my mind, Haley has never once tried to hurt someone beyond the pursuit of victory within the confines of one match."

[John:] "I can accept that."

[MJC:] "As for why I did make this match. the fact is that Alicia is another top contender to the World Title on Voltage. I don't think anyone can doubt her abilities or her track record. In fact, she's lined up for a LAWL OMG Title shot against Jenny McLanahan at LAWLiday. We'll certainly have our eyes on that match with two current OG-Joshi wrestlers."

[John:] "I wouldn't stare into that particular sun for too long."

[MJC:] "LAWL isn't for the feint of heart, John. *laughs*. But if you can look beyond some of their idiosyncracies, you'll find they have top notch wrestling there too. But my point is that Alicia vs. Haley is an important match for top contendership here. And even if these two didn't have a past, I'd still consider this a match I'd want to make to figure out rankings. Visper Karr had to defeat both Jo Ryder and Haley Cannon to get a World Title shot and putting Alicia against Haley here makes sense. So I'm hoping that both wrestlers can keep themselves focused on that reasoning and not let any personal animosity cause them to get distracted from World Title contendership."

[John:] "Unfortunately, that's exactly what happened during that Voltage triple threat match between them and Narai Kaeo."

[MJC:] "Very good, John! You're doing your OG-Joshi homework!"

[John:] "So if you aren't too bound by objectivity here, do you have a prediction?"

[MJC:] "I kinda am, at least from a Coach standpoint. I can't make a prediction on something like this other then to say it will be a good match. I don't want either of these two to think I'm favoring the other, especially with the things Alicia has said about me. And that's not just dodging the issue, But on top of that, i really can't make a decision.it's the truth. Like I said, if I already thought one was better then the other, I wouldn't need to have this match at all. I think they're both capable of winning and it will be up to them to decide who can grab a higher contendership position, rather then my guess."

[John:] "Good answer! And it looks like we're getting closer to this match starting."

[MJC:] "Haley already started to walk down to ringside during our analysis. She seems calm and collected as always. You can't rattle this woman. On the other hand, Alicia has a look in her eyes that I really am not happy to see. It's not so much anger or rage as uncertainty. And sometimes that can be even more dangerous then outright anger."

[John:] "Someone who doesn't have a handle on things may be more desperate. And you know what they say about the wounded animal in the corner."

[MJC:] "You should take it to a vet?"

[John:] "Uh...the other thing. That it can lash out at you."

[MJC:] "Not if you give it food and love. And tickle its tummy every now and then."

[John:] "I think we'll agree to disagree on this one."

[MJC:] "Very diplomatic of you! Let's see if Alicia and Haley can do the same!"

*John is silent as Jean looks towards the ring with a tear rolling down her eye. Medics are trying to attend to Alicia as she spits on Haley. Jean gets the microphone*

[MJC:] "Miss Gordon, you are suspended. You have five seconds to leave the ring or you will be fired."

*Alicia looks conflicted here as she appears to want to continue the attack but she complies with Jean's order and walks backstage to boos as medics help Haley.*

[John:] "We're going to take a short break, folks. We apologize for what you just had to see."

Alicia Gordon (X) [Pull Guard Armbar - 8:54] (O) Haley Cannon

*An ad airs starting with just the number: 2005. Then we see the number turn tofour potato wedges. Then someone eats the number. Now just a 5 appears. It morphs into a banana. Someone eats it. Then the words: "Cinco de LAWLo: The 5 Year Anniversary of LAWLiday - coming this year" appears. Each word turns into a different fruit or vegetable to be eaten. Then the commercial ends and we're back to Ragnarok with a focus on Jean Carter at the commentary table.*

[MJC:] "Hope you got your wish, Geese. Everyone is going to be more bloodthirsty tonight to follow your example, huh? OG-Joshi wrestlers, if I see that again tonight or tomorrow night, you're fired. I don't care who you are. You are FIRED if you attack someone after the match. This nonsense has to stop, especially on the biggest show of the year."

[John:] "Jean, I'm not going to attempt to defend the severity of the attack here but I do have to note one thing."

[MJC:] "You can note whatever you want, I'm not angry at you[i]. [i]You didn't do that."

[John:] "No direspect to Haley but I can understand if perhaps Alicia was a bit...confused by what happened at the end of that match."

[MJC:] "Confused?"

[John:] "Haley kept attacking Alicia after she broke her leg."

[MJC:] "Yeah, of course she did. Alicia didn't give up!! In fact, I'm not sure if Haley even realized she broke Alicia's leg with that kick to the knee. She didn't realize it because Alicia didn't tap out after the Cannon Stretch. Alicia didn't stop attacking Haley as well! So for all Haley knew, Alicia was fine. She kept fighting, didn't she?"

[John:] "Well, yeah, she did."

[MJC:] "Its not like a big bright message flashes in front of a wrestler saying that their opponent is hurt!"

[John:] "I agree. Life isn't a video game. Not that I know any game in which that happens."

[MJC:] "It was Alicia's responsibility to end the match. If she had just given up during the Cannon stretch, that would have been it. Heck, even if she had given up immediately after, Haley wouldn't have followed up! End of story. But as long as Alicia was still in the match and attacking, what else could Haley have done? Throw down her own guard?"

[John:] "Well, I guess fight back. Haley can't get the ref to end the match on Alicia's account! There'd never be another wrestling match if that could happen!"

[MJC:] "Right. If you ask me, Haley was being pretty charitable by refocusing her offense on Alicia's arms. She didn't want to hurt her leg even further. Haley did the absolute most noble thing that she could have in that situation and she clearly looked concerned."

[John:] "Meanwhile, I think Alicia finally did tap out because she wanted to stop Haley from fighting. And keep her off guard for the impending attack."

[MJC:] "It's hard to tell if she gave up intentionally or because she was in some kind of shock. If your leg gets really hurt, the overall shock could affect your body and cause you to give up even if your arm is mostly ok."

[John:] "Do you think what she did was premeditated? I don't mean just in the last few minutes of the match, but before the match even began. I can't help but wonder if Alicia had intended the same ending even if, clearly, she'd have wished for a better lead-in. As hurt as Haley is, Alicia's leg is now broken too. That part she didn't plan."

[MJC:] "And I would have been pretty upset about her leg had she not followed up the way she did."

[John:] "Well in any case, that was not the start of the show we had hoped for."

[MJC:] "I really hope Haley is ok. As for Alicia, her suspension is indefinite."

[John:] "So maybe it's time to get to the next match."

(Code: RN1-2C )

[MJC:] "I have mixed feelings about this one too. I'm very proud to see my two friends Luke and Matt get onto their first big UBL show but considering the threats Nightmare and Dokuja have made, I'm worried about more injuries."

[John:] "So you're just...'friends' with Luke?"

[MJC:] "Haha, well I don't like discussing personal relationships on air but let's just say Luke and I have a special friendship and leave it at that."

[John:] "Understood."

[MJC:] "The reason for this match is because of what occurred during the October Open show. John, would you like to take us through all this?"

[John:] "Naja Mask and Marauder have been fighting each other since the Battalion league, as you are well aware having seen it unfold in front of you."

[MJC:] "Too aware, unfortunately. Watching their alliance and friendship end the way it did was not a happy occasion. Nor was it a happy occasion to see Naja join up with Nightmare to attack and further scar Marauder at the Battalion Finale show."

[John:] "Marauder then made his return to the ring alongside Goro Yamashita against Naja and Nightmare. Dokuja, formerly of Black Venom, interfered in the match on behalf of Naja and Nightmare to brutally attack their enemies. But Luke and Matt -"

[MJC:] "Gallantly came to the ring to prevent further attack and injury!"

[John:] "Right."

[MJC:] "Sorry for the interruption. Thinking about those heroic actions made me feel a bit better after the last match. I'm not sure if Luke will ever be as proficient in the ring as Alicia but there's no way in the world I'd ever give a spot to her instead of him."

[John:] "Now the question is what can Matt and Luke do in the actual ring, given their status as relative rookies."

[MJC:] "Well it's hard to call Matt a rookie just because he's been in the UBL for over a year. And he was just awarded the position of "Field Leader" by Drake."

[John:] "He wasn't only recently awarded it, he also defended it TWICE in the last month. In fact, his last defense was a particularly brutal one against newcomer Corruptor: a man who took out Reserve member Vert Triangle. For Matt to beat him was a huge accomplishment even though it may have taken something out of him for this match."

[MJC:] "But I wouldn't underestimate him in that ring. Now Luke...*Jean giggles a bit*, he's coming along. He's wrestled less then 5 matches at this point."

[John:] "But he is now officially on the Front Lines roster?"

[MJC:] "And he earned that position based on his heroism in helping Marauder and Goro. He's been training with Matt and Goro and is very excited for this match. He realizes what an honor it is to be on an Anniversary show card and he also appreciates the magnitude of the threat made by Snake Mountain to do to him and Matt what they wanted to do Marauder and Goro. This is a bittersweet occasion for both men. Glorious but dangerous."

[John:] "Dokuja has been extremely motivated since joining Snake Mountain and Nightmare has been re-energized as well. We saw Nightmare actually defeat Bak Fu of all people during the Universal Champions league. So whoever underestimates Nightmare's ability in this promotion has clearly not been watching. This man is one of the top wrestlers in the promotion, if you ask me, and is capable of extreme violence as well."

[MJC:] "Dokuja was also the most dangerous member of Black Venom. So we're looking at a team here that, along with Naja, could make a serious run at the newly established Universal Battalion Tag Titles once their holders are decided next year."

[John:] "Which means Snake Mountain will want to make a statement here in an attempt to get early contendership and scare away potential rivals."

[MJC:] "And I sure hope that statement is how good they are in the ring rather how badly they can hurt people."

[John:] "And if it's not?"

[MJC:] "Marauder and Goro are both going to be nearby for this match. In fact, Drake even managed to schedule a meeting with Geese now just so that Furis won't attack him and Goro can be freed up to help out here."

[John:] "You said the "F" word first, Jean. Do you have a swear jar?"

[MJC:] "Haha, no, I don't. But I'll send you a gift basket for the holidays!"

[John:] "Even better."

[MJC:] "And here comes Luke and Matt. Matt looks ready and primed while Luke looks...well, sometimes it takes him a bit of time to get into the right mindset here."

[John:] "Hopefully this goes a bit better then his last in ring effort."

[MJC:] "Arthur Wingate is a top competitor that beat Matt as well. Even though it wasn't fun losing in 10 minutes, he realizes he was up against someone of more experience and current skill. Luke went out there and gave it his best shot and learned from it. And what Luke has to do here tonight is not get intimidated and use that same out of ring heroism to bring his team to success. Remember, he has won a match against Grant Thumb."

[John:] "Did you see Grant Thumb and Parachute Rousseau's match at InterGOREtastic, Jean?"

[MJC:] "Yes. Yes I did."

[John:] "LIFE won a match against Grant Thumb."

[MJC:] "I'd say be nice but Grant was rude to LOLCat."

[John:] "And now we have Dokuja and Nightmare coming to the ring. No theatrics here, just two men who plan to fight and do so violently."

[MJC:] "I'm sure hoping for the best here. You can do it, Matt and Luke!"

[John:] "Let's get to the-"

[MJC:] "Heart of a hero!"

[MJC:] "How can that stand!? They used weapons on Matt Rivers! This wasn't an anything goes match!"

[John:] "I don't think the referee saw it, Jean. Once he did think something fishy, err, serpenty was going on, Dokuja concealed his blade."

[MJC:] "Not only was that dangerous but unfair too! Matt was doing so great! He had both of his opponents in major trouble with his signature sleeper, the Stop Valve."

[John:] "Well, Luke looks like he could still use some tag team experience in terms of coming to his partner's aid. I'm not saying Dokuja didn't win that match decisively, but Luke seemed a little too lacksadaiscal or just confused at the end."

[MJC:] "He did the best he could one on one, but the ref seemed more concerned with sending Luke back to his corner then stopping Snake Mountain from using a SHARP BLADE to Matt's forehead!"

[John:] "I can't argue with that."

[MJC:] "Dokuja finally beat Matt with his finisher but only after bleeding him dry. Considering how much Matt wrestled the last few weeks, you gotta give him credit for fighting as hard as he did here. He had his stamina literally drained out of him."

Luke Kisiera/Matt Rivers (X) ["Serpent God's Clutch" - 20:18] (O) Dokuja/Nightmare

[John:] "Unfortunately Snake Mountain doesn't seem as respectful of his efforts as you do."

[MJC:] "Cut that out!"

[John:] "Not the best choice of words as they have their blades out again and it looks like this isn't over."

[MJC:] "Luke runs into the ring, be careful!"

[John:] "Nightmare is about to swing that blade of his at Luke, but Luke ducks under the attempted blade lariat."

[MJC:] "Come on Luke!!"

[John:] "Uh...what the hell is Luke doing now?"

[MJC:] "He just threw something on the ground!"

[John:] "Jean, that looks like candy. Round, hard candy! And Dokuja and Nightmare are actually tripping on it!"

[MJC:] "OMG, that's the candy Luke usually takes from Drake's office! And he's using it for a non-candy related purpose! Genius!"

[John:] "Well say what you will about this unorthodox attack, it has succeeded in holding Dokuja and Nightmare at bay. And it gave Marauder and Goro enough time to get down to the ring to toss out the violent offenders!"

[MJC:] "The situation looks stable but that was really too close. I don't know how Luke did it, but his quick thinking may have saved both his and Matt's career."

[John:] "Luke used his head before Dokuja and Nightmare used it as a pincushion."

[MJC:] "Hey, that was mean."

[John:] "Sorry, I just can't believe Luke's strategy worked there."

[MJC:] "Well if there's one thing I've learned about Luke Kisiera it's that he'll always surprise you with something in his pocket."

[John:] "uh...what?"

*Jean blushes considerably*

[MJC:] "Oh gosh, that came out wrong!! I mean...he'll rise to the occasion! Wait..."

[John:] "That's ok, we should probably take another break now anyway. It's going to take some time for the cage to come down for our next match, one that our first competitor is already here for. And Marauder is now being thanked by Luke and Matt before they are escorted backstage by Goro. Folks we'll see you in a few minutes."

*Commercials air for the upcoming FPCPP January Show.*

[MJC:] "I hear that's going to be a big show for Orochi Geese as he returns to the FPCPP."

[John:] "No one knows what he has planned-"

[MJC:] "But I doubt it's non-violent."

[John:] "Maybe he'll give an inspirational speech."

[MJC:] "I suppose anything's possible."

[John:] "Never thought Snake Mountain would be countered with CANDY."

(Code: RN1-3C )

[MJC:] "And speaking of possibilities, Marauder now has the chance to put to rest his feud with Naja Mask. Drake said that no matter who wins tonight, both men have to refocus their attention after this match."

[John:] "I don't blame him. This feud gone too far and is also getting redundant. Marauder continues to outclass Naja in one on one matches and Naja keeps using the numbers game to hurt Marauder after the match. This cycle has to stop."

[MJC:] "The number game? Is that like Uno?"

[John:] "I mean-"

[MJC:] "I know what you mean, I just needed to lighten the mood."

[John:] "It has been a heavy show so far but unfortunately I don't see a cage match being the one to change things around for the better."

[MJC:] "Good point, luckily OG-Joshi has a Championship match coming up after this!"

[John:] "Well first we have to see if Naja Mask has any new tricks up his sleeve. Marauder isn't the only one here who has a score to settle. Even though Naja and Nightmare did a lot of damage to him, further scarring his face and causing him to miss a few months of action, I get the feeling Naja actually is the one with more to prove."

[MJC:] "I could see that point of view. Naja is trying to prove that everything Orochi Geese has said about him is false. Geese said he was washed up and his career has been on the downturn since leaving the Japanese version of UBL. He's said that Naja was the albatross...err albasnake...around the neck of Marauder that dragged him down."

[John:] "You can't argue with the actual win/loss statistics that Geese used in his assessment. Naja got dominated in the Universal Championship and all his Battalion team wins came mainly thanks to Marauder or Nightmare. Everyone has always seen Marauder as the true strength of Snake Mountain but that perception has been more widespread now then before."

[MJC:] "Naja wants to show that he is as strong a force and can actually defeat Marauder. Considering how easily he was defeated in their match at the Battalion Finale, I'm not sure what Naja will do now. Has he trained more? I guess he has more experience against Marauder now and can put that to good use but I dunno, this is an uphill climb for him. I don't like him, I don't like what he's done. And I don't like what I think he might do. But if he wrestles this match legit, part of me at least empathizes with the fact he's the underdog...err undersnake in this situation and no one has given him a chance to win."

[John:] "You're enjoying the snake wordplay, aren't you."

[MJC:] "A little too much, I should stop."

[John:] "Well good time to as Naja is coming to the ring and doesn't look intimidated, so that's a start. Now unlike the last match, weapons actually ARE legal here. So Jean..."

[MJC:] "I knew what to expect when I signed up for this. I don't like it, but I know what's gonna happen."

[John:] "Then let's get to it."

[MJC:] "What a finish!"

[John:] "Marauder has studied momentum and physics for years and what we just saw is a result of his education. He smashed Naja in the corner and then used Naja's forward momentum to scoop him up for the "Centrifugal Silencer!"

[MJC:] "What you learn in school is useful in life, kids!"

[John:] "Provided you wrestle snake men."

[MJC:] "But you have to hand it to Naja here. I mean, not only did he prove he can hang with Marauder, he actually proceeded to dominate him for much of the match. Marauder rarely uses his "Particle Accelerator" so early in a match but due to the beating he was taking, he threw it out as a desperation manuever."

[MJC:] "Yeah I have to admit that Naja looked more legitimate here then in the past few years. Marauder got his final victory over Naja and a measure of revenge but Naja showed that he has his spirit back. To dominate and get so close to defeating one of the absolute best in UBL is really an accomplishment. Marauder has beaten Bak Fu, he's beaten Twinky McLanahan. He's been a former Battalion Champion. Hanging with Marauder means you're a threat."

[John:] "Both men did a very impressive job of fighting out of their opponent's signature moves. But in the end, the power of momentum truly belonged to Marauder.

[MJC:] "And shockingly, for the first time all night, a match ends without further incident! Guess there was enough violence IN the match to satisfy both men."

Marauder (O) ["Centrifugal Silencer" - 20:14] (X) Naja Mask

(Code: RN1-4C )

[John:] "And we turn back to the OG-Joshi promotion with a very important match."

[MJC:] "At the recent OG-Joshi Illumination PPV, Eris Byrne became our first Amplitude Champion. She went through a tourament where she defeated both of her rivals, Lina and Jenna Stone. However, during that tournament, Gutter's match with Jenna Stone was interrupted by Gutter's old enemy, Judy Bones. Jenna got the win and went onto to be defeated by Eris but Gutter got cheated out of her chance. She defeated Jenna Stone at an Amplitude after Illumination, earning herself a Title shot against Eris."

[John:] "Well that was a mouthful!"

[MJC:] "Well it all took place over 8 months so it should be!"

[John:] "So the first issue on everyone's minds is the health status of Gutter following the heinous attack perpetrated on her by Judy Bones. This attack actually followed Gutter's victory over Jenna Stone and took place outside the arena."

[MJC:] "Gutter had a concussion as a result and spent about two months in the hospital. The doctors cleared her to compete as did I, and she is ready. I do not believe that we'll see any physical signs of the attack."

[John:] "The implication being-"

[MJC:] "Oh, I didn't really mean to imply anything there. Just that she's back to perfect health, or whatever perfect health is for a pro wrestler!"

[John:] "I guess what I thought you were implying is that Gutter's mental status and focus on this match may have been compromised by Judy's attack and presence."

[MJC:] "It wasn't what I was getting at but you could have a point there. I did my best to keep Gutter's mind on this match but there's some real history between her and Judy. Gutter won't even tell me the extent and it's clear she's disturbed by it. But John, I really think that tonight she is fully concentrated on Eris and the Title. Did her preparation suffer a hit from Judy's attack? Probably. But tonight, right now, Gutter only has one focus in that ring. And that's to beat Eris."

[John:] "And you think she's capable of doing that?"

[MJC:] "She's capable of anything if she puts her mind to it. She's a very strong willed woman. But so is Eris. Can Gutter beat Eris? Absolutely. Will she do it tonight? That's up to each of them. Eris is not just the recent champion, she is also the holder of the longest undefeated streak for a singles wrestler in OG-Joshi. Longer then anyone, even the World Champion, Visper Karr. That isn't a feat to overlook. Beating Eris may be possible, and women like Lina and Jenna have gotten extremely close, but they haven't done it."

[John:] "Sounds like Eris is really the woman to beat right now in OG-Joshi."

[MJC:] "I think she could ease up on the sass-talk but when it comes to her actions in the ring, its hard to argue with her results or means. She is definitely putting that Amplitude Title on the map as a result of her accomplishments. But Gutter has a fight in her that can't be measured. You look in her eyes and you see it. And we're gonna be in for a heck of a match here tonight. Everyone knows that Gutter and I are close friends but I just want to see the best wrestler tonight emerge here provided they do it cleanly."

[John:] "And Gutter has come down to the ring and is getting ready. It must feel a little strange for her being back in that right after the attack at Amplitude."

[MJC:] "Judy's attacks on her weren't the first time she was jumped during or after a match. She had to fight off Cynthia San Martino in the past. Gutter can get back into the ring after an attack and refocus herself. I know she's there mentally tonight. She just needs to make the right decisions in the ring against a crafty Champion."

[John:] "And here comes Eris looking as arrogant as ever. But when you have the win streak and recent success she has, it's hard to be too angry at her attitude. Even if it does involve laughing for a full 30 seconds on the entrance ramp while showing off her Amplitude Title. Goddess of Chaos fits the bill here, Jean."

[MJC:] "Holly and Geese aren't too happy with her calling herself that but they haven't done anything to stop her. And given the recent losing streak of Holly, I don't think she'd want any of Eris right now."

[John:] "Well they've had enough problems the last few years."

[MJC:] "Got that right."

[John:] "Now, let's get to the ring and see who emerges from tonight as the Amplitude Champion!"

[MJC:] "Remember, this is actually the OG-Joshi main event of the evening. We're not being represented by Holly vs. Celes. This is our final match for the evening just like the World Championship is our final match of Night 2."

[John:] "You wasted no time in distancing yourself from tonight's main event."

[MJC:] "OG-Joshi is reprensented by the two women about to wrestle in the ring, not the two women who are going to upset all our stomachs later. So let's get to the ring and see the right way to compete in a wrestling ring."

[MJC:] "Wow."

[John:] "Now that was a Championship match."

[MJC:] "Indeed it was. My congratulations to Eris Byrne for this incredible victory. She has been having "Match of the Year" candidates all year long with Lina and Jenna and this one may have topped both."

[John:] "Gutter came so close to victory and showed so much resiliency but Eris' will to continue was just too much. And that Ravenstone - even though Gutter kicked out of it earlier on, it was just too much at the end."

[MJC:] "I will have to talk to Gutter about her uh...chair usage."

[John:] "It's my understanding that if you use a weapon outside of the ring in OG-Joshi, you don't get disqualified."

[MJC:] "That was a holdover rule from Celes' reign. And it's one I haven't expressly changed so I really can't hold Gutter responsible. But it's something I have to consider changing. And since it wasn't a post match attack, I won't punish Gutter for it. I just really need to do something about weapon usage in OG-Joshi. This was a wrestling match, not ninja fight. No offense to Kat Black, of course."

[John:] "You know, I'm not sure she's actually a ninja."

[MJC:] "You mean Mr. Figaro was lying?"

[John:] "It's refreshing doing commentary with you."

[MJC:] "Thanks!"

[John:] "And it was also refreshing watching that incredible match and seeing what OG-Joshi could do, at its best. It was a great change of pace from some of the earlier things we saw tonight."

[MJC:] "When the wrestlers of OG-Joshi compete for the right reasons, matches like this result. Thank you to both Eris and Lina for bringing a little "ROCK" to Ragnarok. And thanks to the great catering staff for making Ragnarok's "nog" this holiday season!"

Gutter (X) ["Ravenstone" - 26:45] (O) Eris Byrne

(Code: RN1-5C )

[John:] "And now it's time for the UBL to compete with OG-Joshi to show off its own Champions."

[MJC:] "It has a hard act to follow!"

[John:] "This match also has some more friction between the two wrestlers. Gutter and Eris really had no personal tension but Corey and Julian have been a bit more "firm" with each other in their language and actions. In fact, unlike Gutter and Eris, Corey and Julian have crossed paths in the ring a number of times."

[MJC:] "That is true. Their match at the September Circuit show ended in a draw. And then their triple threat match with Gene Starr at the October Open ended with JUlian Caesaro as the new NEXUS Champion."

[John:] "Corey came right back after that loss to win a Fatal four way with three other top contenders: Chuck Madrox, Kohi Keo'ke, and former Champion Gene Starr. But it wasn't just his behavior in the match but his intensity outside of it. He has made it completely clear that he won't quit til he is wearing that NEXUS Title around his waist."

[MJC:] "It's that attitude that made him a top contender and a favorite when the Universal Championship league returns. But tonight he has to defeat the reigning NEXUS Champion, Julian Caesaro. A man who actually defeated Orochi Geese in FPCPP a few months back. Geese had been trying to groom him to be his new student but Julian rejected his lesson plan and substituted one of his own."

[John:] "So Julian knows a thing or two about winning matches against wrestlers who focus on the head and neck like Corey O'Brian does"

[MJC:] "Julian has recently proclaimed his reign as a religion in UBL. That can't be sitting too well with all the 'heretics' who want to take him down. But I can't disgree with how impressive he is in the ring."

[John:] "The secret to Julian's success in the past has been his speed, the deceiving power of his kicks, and his ability to turn a match around at any time. But recently, he has shown a killer instinct AND an incredible resiliency. One we didn't know he had til his two matches with Corey. Julian has raised his game to become the best wrestler on the Reserve Roster."

[MJC:] "That's certainly what that NEXUS Championship belt represents."

[John:] "Julian's resiliency will go head on with Corey's patience. He doesn't mind driving his opponents into the mat repeatedly with high impact moves til it gets the job done."

[MJC:] "Corey also has one of the widest and most dangerous movesets in the UBL and that makes this match difficult for Julian. Because one of the keys to resiliency is knowledge. You have to know and prepare for what your opponent will throw at you. If Corey busts something out that Julian isn't familiar with, his resiliency won't be as strong. If you know the best way to land from a drop then you can stay in the match longer."

[John:] "Conversely, if Julian wants to change his strategy around, he is so fast that Corey may not have time to properly counter it. In fact, I still fondly remember the end of the second match between Julian and Juan Leche. That was where Julian, out of nowhere, blasted out a flying rebound pele kick and went right into the Dragon Pro Special submission. That was the match where we saw what Julian is capable of."

[MJC:] "I think that moment really put Julian on the map in UBL. Corey is agile for someone of his power but I don't know if he can prepare for the kind of dynamic offense that Julian has. But I also don't know if Julian's smaller body can truly absorb all the punishing suplexes and submissions Corey has."

[John:] "And that's why this match is so interesting on its own merits. But add in the most prestigious defended UBL singles title, the biggest show of the year, and you have the recipe for what is sure to be the hardest fought match from the Reserve roster in 2010."

[MJC:] "The crowd is getting pumped up for this too."

[John:] "Folks it looks like Corey is ready to come out to the ring."

[MJC:] "Well, someone is at least. Or...someones."

[John:] "I believe the men walking to the ring right now are Corey O'Brian's students from his Demolition Pro Wrestling dojo. They are coming out two by two on each side of the entrance."

Luke: "It's like Noah's Ark but without the animals and flood and pirates and seasickness."

[MJC:] "Pirates?"

Luke: "Dead Sea Scrolls are clearly pirate treasure, John. Davey Jones' locker. He was one of the Monkees, you know."

[John:] "...and getting back to the present day, Xander Starr has come out last."

[MJC:] "Not to be confused with Gene Starr or Xander Raines. Or Davey Jones."

[John:] "Xander starts stomping and clapping and the other students join in."

[MJC:] "The fans are really getting into this too. Wow! This sounds...oddly familiar."

[John:] "And the music is starting, it's "We will Rock you" by Queen."

[MJC:] "Ahh, there we go! The fans are going nuts here! And Corey has finally come out to ringside. Wow look how intense he is!! He's walking stoically down to the ring as his students hail him and Corey is READY."

[John:] "That man knows how to make an entrance. I'm surprised Drake allowed all of these guys to come down."

[MJC:] "Well it looks like they are going to the back now so Drake wouldn't have a problem with it."

[John:] "And it looks like Julian Caesaro does not want to be outdone by what we just saw."

[MJC:] "It sounds like church in here all of a sudden."

[John:] "There's a mild angelic hymm playing as the house lights bathe the arena in white gold. Perfectshawn Stevens comes down wearing a priest robe with a golden cup. The NEXUS Championship belt is in the cup."

[MJC:] "That's a big cup!"

[John:] "Shawn sets it down on the timekeepers table and then raises his arms high. The hymm picks up in volume and tempo until it stops and the lights go off. Five seconds pass and the lights come back on. Shawn is gone and Julian is standing in the ring with a white and gold robe with his back to Corey."

[MJC:] "Scary!"

[John:] "He flips the robe off and the music starts up again at the same second."

[MJC:] "He's really taking this Royal Saviour stuff seriously."

[John:] "Julian Caesaro has a very calm look on his face, almost angelic."

[MJC:] "But he may be hiding some devilish intentions."

[John:] "And Corey knows it. He hasn't let Julian's entrance throw him off."

[MJC:] "If anything, he looks even more intense then when he came out here. His stoic look is dialed up higher to the "DANGER" setting. And his body language shows he's just itching to get his hands on Julian, and especially his title. Sometimes a wrestler can just radiate energy and that is what Corey is doing right now."

[John:] "The theme of Julian vs. Geese was "Flash vs. Fury" and I think we're getting a little of that now too. However, the flash of Julian Caesaro tonight comes in the form of the flash of light in his entrance and the gleaming from his eyes."

[MJC:] "Well you can actually see his face now. Against Geese he was Dragon Royale and wore a mask. Here he just wears an expression of utter confidence and calm."

[John:] "There's no mask now, just the kind of expression that says: 'You will not take what is mine.' We're not seeing playful Julian, not even punk out Julian. No words here. Julian is just shaking his head while looking at Corey as if to say: "Bad move, O'Brian." Bad move to challenge this man who is forming his own cult of personality, his own religion, and his own legacy."

[MJC:] "This stand off is fiercer then some wrestling matches I've seen."

[John:] "But likely not the one we're about to see. Let's get to it! NEXUS Title!"

[MJC:] "I don't know how he fought back from that."

[John:] "Julian Caesaro somehow kicked out of both the "Core Meltdown" and the "Core Meltdown II". These are two moves that could seriously injure an opponent. That could end a career. These are two moves that are banned in some other promotions. And Julian kicked out of them both. I have no clue how he just did that."

[MJC:] "I'm not entirely sure if he knows either. And if you ask me, that school boy attempt may have been his own realization that he was in over his head. Julian did what he's done in the past and pulled a move out of nowhere at the right time, but he didn't take this victory in a dominant way. Rather, he got the heck out of Dodge!"

[John:] "He did what he had to do to win but there's a big difference between surprising Corey with a roll-up and using the Royale Intervention against Gene Starr in the middle of the ring. But we can't discount the fact that Julian may not have been thinking straight any longer. I mean, he just got dropped on his head multiple times during the match by those Core Meltdowns! He may have gone for that roll up out of instinct!"

[MJC:] "Yeah I agree. We can't take anything away from the miraculous strength of will and physical endurance it took to kick out of those moves and continue to fight at all. Corey had to be as shocked as anyone that Julian got up from that last Core Meltdown, and he may have let his guard down as a result. Whether Julian's roll-up was an escape plan or base physical instinct, Julian did what he had to do to win the match. And unless he was pulling the tights, which I didn't see from my vantage point, Julian won in a legitimate fashion."

[John:] "That's certainly true. He could have used a low blow or a thumb to the eye, but he ended that match cleanly even if it wasn't in a decisive fashion. Julian Caesaro is STILL the NEXUS Champion and he earned this victory through his resiliency and wrestler instinct."

Corey O'Brian (X) [School Boy - 14:52] (O) Julian Caesaro

[MJC:] "What a match. Corey has got to be a little thrown off by the fact he came up short here."

[John:] "And Julian Caesaro is gonna be thrown off tomorrow when he wakes up and his neck feels like Reed Richards'"

[MJC:] "Who?"

[John:] "Mr. Fantastic."

[MJC:] "Is...is he on the Front Lines?"

[John:] "Not a comic book reader, I take it."

[MJC:] "Just Heathcliff, John. That cat knows how to roll."

[John:] "An accidentally hip comment from Jean Carter."

[MJC:] "That was hip? I apologize to the parents for corrupting your kids vocabularies!"

(Code: RN1-6C )

[John:] "Speaking of upsetting your parents, we're now ready for the main event."

[MJC:] "And so the parents don't get upset over their children's nightmares, please put them to bed now before this next match. We have no guarantees of what will happen here. What we do know is that ANYTHING is legal aside from interference from other wrestlers. All holds are legal. All weapons are legal. All weapon-assisted strikes are legal."

[John:] "But the only way to win the match is to say "I quit".

[MJC:] "Right, even if a wrestler is knocked out, they can't lose the match. They have to be revived and have enough wits about them, even Holly, to say I quit."

[John:] "That means a wrestler can knock the other one out and then break their limbs before they wake up, leaving them with no sensible choice but to quit in the hopes of immediate medical attention."

[MJC:] "Yeesh, John. Quite an imagination on you!"

[John:] "Jean, I'd be lying if I hoped what I just said was the LIMIT of how far these two are gonna go. We both know what Holly is capable of and honestly it's far worse then what I just said."

[MJC:] "It's sick that you're right but you are. She's ended careers and crippled people. But she's facing someone who we really have no idea of her limitations. The former General Celes."

[John:] "And YOUR former mentor."

[MJC:] "That is true, John. I was her understudy, officially, in her office. Just as I was Drake's in UBL. I've seen Celes make a lot of hard decisions, do a lot of things that she has regretted. I wonder if tonight will be added to that list."

[John:] "So I take it you aren't exactly cheering her on in this match?"

[MJC:] "I don't want to see her get hurt. Let's just leave it at that."

[John:] "Well I hope the fans know that pride isn't the only thing on the line tonight."

[MJC:] "Even if the loser of this match emerges relatively healthy, she still has one more hurdle. Nicole Dramesi has promised to leave OG-Joshi alone if the loser of this encounter sacrifices herself to Nicole immediately following the match, as payment for what Holly did to Dizzy. What OG-Joshi 'let' happen, in her view. Which is why Celes is involved."

[John:] "And given what did happen to Dizzy, and how angry and destructive Nicole has been the last few years, it's as close to a guarantee as we can make that Nicole will be attempting to end that wrestler's career. So first you lose a grueling match with someone who's hated you for 5 years, and then you get destroyed by Nicole? What's next? Fall out of the ambulance on mountain road and end up crashing through a broken glass factory?"

[MJC:] "Hmph! I'd like to once again mention how OG-Joshi is not sponsoring this match. In fact, I even had our ring crew take the OG-Joshi logo off the mat. It's Geese arena so he can have this match take place wherever he wants but it's not under the OG-Joshi banner. As for me, I'm only here cause I need to see this for myself and Geese asked me to give my perspective."

[John:] "Surprising given your disdain for Holly. Now, what is your prediction?"

[MJC:] "Celes will win. She may have never stepped foot in the ring before as a wrestler but I've seen her fight people and she's practically untouchable. She's also strong as an ox. I mean, that time she punched Holly, it wasn't just strong - it was so focused and well placed. I've even seen her restrain Geese before. And since this isn't a standard match, i don't see her having problems with pro wrestling rules like Narai Kaeo sometimes does. No countouts here. Just beating an opponent til they quit. Simple enough. When you consider Holly has done her worst damage outside a match, she's not ready for this."

[John:] "While I don't have a preference, my prediction is that Holly wins. Even though she lost to Visper and Kat, her mind was on Celes the whole time. We've never seen Holly LOSE when she's as pumped up and angry as she is right now. And even if she doesn't know what Celes will bring, the determination of Holly will override it. She's too focused."

[MJC:] "It is true that she has beaten everyone she hates, when she has hated them the most. Holly didn't hate Visper or Kat. Or Jenny McLanahan in LAWL."

[John:] "And there's the fact that even when she has lost, she's never given up. She's never quit."

[MJC:] "But neither has Celes."

[John:] "She's never had the opportunity."

[MJC:] "Maybe not in the ring but we all have chances to quit in life. And Celes isn't a quitter. Holly has constantly taken the easy way out. Hurting Dizzy was taking the easy way out instead of beating Alicia Gordon. Threatening everyone with violence was Holly taking the easy way out instead of defending her Title against all comers. She may have never submit in that ring, but she has a weakness in her, John. A weakness that women like the Reed Sisters don't have. Or Visper Karr. Or Kat Black. Or Eris Byrne. Holly is weak inside and vulnerable. And celes isn't. Holly takes short-cuts. Celes doesn't. And in life, eventually you have to face up to the shortcuts you've taken. That happens tonight."

[John:] "Those are very bold words, Jean."

[MJC:] "I'm aware of that."

[John:] "Now would you care to provide a brief summary of why these two hate each other?"

[MJC:] "Frankly, I wouldn't as I dislike reflecting on it. But I'm here as a commentator and will do my job. Celes, Clyde, and Figaro came to Geese at his time of need. A time when he was lowest in his life. After Holly betrayed him and joined his enemy, Johnny Domino-"

[John:] "Not to be confused with Johnny Bingo."

[MJC:] "Holly's betrayal occurred in 2003 in Pro Wrestling Wild and it took months for Geese to cope with. Maybe even years. However, Celes and company came to him to help get his life and career back on track. And they did. After a while, Celes left but Clyde and Figaro remained as his bodyguards and friends. But then Holly came crawling back."

[John:] "And Geese accepted that?"

[MJC:] "Not at first but over time it was clear to him that Holly's return helped his career out. He became more aggressive in and out of the ring and saw more success. In fact, this was around the time that Geese began talking about "chaos" and as violent as he got, he also climbed the ladder in PW-W."

[John:] "ANd this was because of Holly?"

[MJC:] "Arguably. But Geese attributed a lot of his newfound success to her newfound business acument and aggressiveness. He also began supporting her in her feud with Jo Ryder. And the two became closer. Around this time, Geese also created OG-Joshi and Holly had a privileged position but still could not win the the Title from Dizzy."

[John:] "This was well before Holly hurt Dizzy, right?"

[MJC:] "Yeah, like two to three years before that incident. However, Holly was getting better and Geese knew it was only a matter of time before Holly would capture the title. He also knew that if she won it, it would hurt her legitimacy to have won it when she was in the front office of OG-Joshi. Luckily for Geese, Celes just happened to come back around this time. Unluckily for Geese. Celes HATED Holly."

[John:] "And that is because?"

[MJC:] "Celes hated Holly for her initial betrayal of Geese as well as her corrupting him and leading him to violence. These are really the two root causes between their years long rivalry. Geese was initially tolerant of Celes' advice but over time shut her out as he fell back in love with Holly. Things got even worse the last year when Geese took Clyde and Figaro's friendship for granted, and Celes called him on it."

[John:] "And then there was the professional aspect of Celes and Holly's hatred."

[MJC:] "Right. As soon as Celes made her return, and well before she and Geese had their falling out, Geese made her the "General" of OG-Joshi so that Holly would have to earn her Title by operating under someone who wasn't so friendly with her. That way Holly's eventual win would be seen as legitimate. In that time, Holly tried to outmanuerver, one-up, and corrupt Celes."

[John:] "And while she only succeeded a bit in those pursuits, she did win the OG-Joshi World Title and held onto it for a few years."

[MJC:] "And they clashed constantly for over 3 years. Finally it came to blows when Holly tried to attack Kat Black with a chair and Celes came to her aid by punching Holly in the stomach so hard that she threw up in the middle of the ring. Geese fired Celes on the spot. You gotta understand John - The one rule for being head of OG-Joshi, at least under Geese's ownership, is that you don't hurt Holly or put her in a position where she could be hurt."

[John:] "And Celes certainly broke that rule by punching her. Now, shortly after that fight, Celes and Holly set this match up. And folks, we're about ready for it."

[MJC:] "Celes is out first. No music, no fanfare. She's just walking to the ring in her traditional white and gold ensemble. The audience seems to be supporting her which Celes acknowledges but doesn't linger over. She looks pretty serious but not without her own swagger of confidence."

[John:] "Celes believes she's coming into this match from a position of strength."

[MJC:] "Well so does Holly. However, surprisingly, she also arriving without a formal entrance. That...wow."

[John:] "All business?"

[MJC:] "I guess. Usually she loves to make a big introduction but I don't see anything but determination on her face."

[John:] "She's wearng her Usual attire but her face tells a different story. She hasn't even stopped to jaw at fans. That's pretty shocking. Especially how they are getting in her face. Some even have signs that say: "I was there when Holly quit."

[MJC:] "Wonder how expensive those shirts are..."

[John:] "I just wonder why these two haven't tried to overwhelm the other with a strong entrance."

[MJC:] "Maybe both these two didn't think they could outdo the NEXUS Title intros!"

[John:] "Well I don't think they could have! But still, its pretty shocking to see such a spartan beginning for tonight's main event."

[MJC:] "And they're not wasting any time. They immediately have a stand off."

[John:] "Here we go!"

(Code: RN1-6M )

Match 6: "I Quit" Match: Robin "Holly" Walker vs. Celes

Holly and Celes are right up in each other's faces: Neither one blinks. Holly is mouthing to Celes, it looks like she's saying: "You're time here is done. And Celes has responded, "thankfully." Holly breaks the stare by spitting in Celes' face. Then she pushes her back and attempts a roundhouse kick but Celes ducks it then pushes Holly's leg further so she loses her balance and falls on the floor. Celes briefly puts Holly in a grounded armbar and and wipes the spit off her own face using Holly's shirt.

[MJC:] "Only fair."

Celes lets Holly up and pushes her back a few feet screaming: "Let's see why you're no longer Champion." Holly runs forward with a yakuza kick which Celes easily parries to the side. Holly uses that momentum to attempt a reverse lariat with her free leg but Celes ducks it. Holly hits her face on the mat and turns red with anger.

[MJC:] "Things aren't going so well for her and heck, even I get a little annoyed when I bang my nose."

[John:] "I doubt you challenge the door to an "I quit" match."

[MJC:] "I just put it in a keylock."

Holly lunges at Celes with a Thesz Press but Celes gets her knees up, falls backwards, and then kicks (think Ryu) Holly off of her. Holly ends up being flung into the post in "Tree of Woe" style. Celes admires her own handiwork and then ties Holly's legs up under the turnbuckle. Then she goes outside and grabs a microphone.

[Celes:] "This is your first chance. Maybe the blood rushing to your head will make you think rationally for once. Do you quit?"

She holds the mic up to Holly's upside down face.

[Celes:] "Ask Geese how much I enjoy being upside down, bitch! You gonna 69 me too!?"

Holly frees her legs and bicycle kicks the mic out of Celes' hands. Holly then returns to standing position after a handstand and tries to back elbow Celes in the face, but Celes ducks then pushes Holly face first into the turnbuckle, where her head rests on the top pad.

[John:] "Holly looks to have hit the turnbuckle pretty hard there."

[MJC:] "No, she's doing something. Oh gawd, she's taking the padding off the buckle!"

Celes waits patiently for Holly to be done and then lifts her arms as if to say: "so what?" Holly turns and quickly lunges for Celes' legs, actually tripping her up. She then falls backwards sending Celes flying through the air into the post-"

[MJC:] "Oh no!"

But Celes catches the two ropes surrounding the exposed metal buckle and does a handstand."

[John:] "Wow. I've never seen anyone do that before. What kind of strength does this woman have?"

[MJC:] "Mental strength - a whole lot. Apparently she has as much physical."

Holly runs for another Yakuza kick to Celes' upside face, but Celes uses her own momentum and arms to send herself over the kick and behind Holly. Then she grabs Holly by the hair and swings her across the ring. Holly gets sent rolling under the ropes and lands on her feet on the arena floor. Celes once again picking up the microphone.

[Celes:] "You will not land one real attack. This is futile. You have only two legitimate options: Quit now or start to listen to what I have to say."

Holly grabs a chair on the outside and throws it at Celes who catches it midair, unfolds it, and sits on it.

[Celes:] "Thank you. I suspect this will take a while and I appreciate the consideration."

Holly is breathing heavy due to her increased anger and starts pounding on the ring apron.

[Celes:] "It's not going to quit either, Miss Walker. But at least you have proven your superiority over one thing tonight. Pity that will be your only victory."

Holly grabs the metal ring bell off the time keeper's table and also a stray wire from under the ring. She wraps the wire around the ring bell so as if to form a 'morning star' style whip. Then she gets into the ring while Celes is still sitting there. Celes has her hands on the seat and as soon as Holly goes to swing the whip, Celes vaults off the chair and over the ring bell which Holly swung. She lands behind the chair and then picks it up as a shield against the whip. Holly shortens the slack of the whip and just starts screaming and banging the bell against the chair over and over again until she gets tired. She drops the whip apparatus and Celes drops the chair, obviously unharmed by this futile assault.

Holly then quickly throws the ring bell at Celes who is forced to raise her hands to block it. Holly uses the opportunity to go in for a double leg tackle which she manages to execute. The bell lands near the floor and Holly picks it up. She goes to slam it on Celes' head, Mongorian Chop style, but Celes punches it out of Holly's arms and into her own face. Holly rolls over and is bleeding from the mouth. Celes favors her hands a bit from the punch but shakes it out and seems fine.

[John:] "I'm having serious doubts as to the vulnerability of Celes."

[MJC:] "I've seen Figaro do stuff like this before but wow."

[John:] "It takes great concentration to focus one's body like that so it doesn't hurt."

Holly once again rolls to the outside to get a towel which she places on her mouth to stop the bleeding. Celes grabs the microphone.

[Celes:] "Enough is enough. Just listen to what I have to say and we can end this. You can't continue your strategy in this match or in life. It may seem to give you short term success but it always ends in your own destruction. There are always bigger dogs in the fight. People who will do things you won't and that you don't expect. The Nicole Dramesis of this world will always catch up to you because violence begets violence. And just like you have run into a brick wall against me, you have no other choices in your life. There is nothing you can do to win the wars you have started, Robin. You have to bow out gracefully and ask for forgiveness. Raising the stakes only puts you against impossible odds and puts your loved ones at risk."

Holly grabs a microphone and even though blood is still dripping from her mouth, a smile has formed too.

[Holly:] "Impossible odds for the unimaginative. And the difference between my loved ones and yours, Celes..."

Holly runs over to the commentary booth with Jean in her field of vision.

[MJC:] "Uh..."

[Holly:] "Is that mine aren't f'n stupid enough to come out here unarmed!"

Holly slides onto the commentary table and grabs Jean by the head. She hoists both of them up on top of the table. Then she kicks Jean in the stomach and grabs her in a front headlock as if she was going to DDT her on the table. Celes runs to to stop her but Holly still has her microphone.

[John:] "Oh no. Not Jean!"

[Holly:] "Don't move, Celes! I swear I'll crush this fucking cupcake's creamy skull on this table. It's gonna be Dizzy all over again. You move, the chump gets it. Still think I'm up against impossible odds? Not if you change the rules of the game. You keep that microphone pressed against your lips. Cause in just a few seconds, you're gonna say those two magical words. Or else OG-Joshi needs a new General...again."

Jean is clawing at Holly's back and Holly laughs.

[Holly:] "Oh you must be a demon in the sack, Jean. Keep fighting, baby!"

[Celes:] "You will release her."

[Holly:] "Not cause of failed Jedi mind tricks. But I won't DDT her. I'm gonna give this loser the lunch she deserves unless you give up RIGHT NOW."

Holly lets go of the facelock and manuervers her hands on either side of Jean's head.

[John:] "I...I think she's going for the Loser's Lunch, a jumping face buster, on the table."

Suddenly two pieces of metal shoot from under the ring onto Holly's feet. They appear to be clamps. Holly looks shocked and tries to jump but can't. She can't even fall down.

[Celes:] "You're strategy is unsurprising. You think I'd even let Jean come out here if I thought she'd be in any real danger from you?"

Clyde jumps onto the table and frees Jean from Holly's grasp. Jean runs into the ring with a slight hobble due to the kick to her stomach."

[Holly:] "Hey! No interference!"

[Celes:] "You have not been attacked. Merely restrained. Your aggression against Coach is against the rules and she has a right to defend herself, by proxy through us. In this respect she is no differen then any other audience member."

Holly tries to undo her clamps and finally manages to slip out of them. As she does, Celes frowns.

[Holly:] "Ha! They couldn't hold me!"

Celes still frowns but her eye contact is with something behind Holly.

[Celes:] "Like I said, there are always bigger dogs in the fight."

Holly looks confused and suddenly a arm shoots out in front of her and wraps around her neck.

[John:] "I can't believe this! It's Ruby Moreno! She just popped out of the crowd and has a rear chokehold around Holly's throat!"

[Celes:] "Violence only begets violence."

[Holly:] "What...what the fuck you want, Moreno?"

Geese and Kyle run out to rungside but Ruby sees them and draws a knife that she places near Holly's throat.

[Celes:] "Geese, keep back. You have no experience in these situations. If you do something rash, Holly will get hurt."

[Ruby:] "First off - Carter, you owe me one. I was gonna help you but the ninja got to you first."

[Celes:] "Enough Moreno. Now listen to me. You do not want to do anything rash."

[Ruby:] "You're in no position to give me orders. But I'm a reasonable, fair woman and I respect your initial claim to Holly's humiliation. I simply want to help."

[Celes:] "You can start by taking the knife away and releasing the hold. This isn't your fight."

[Ruby:] "Ha - I do suppose she can't be understood to verbally quit if I slit her throat."

[Celes:] "Ruby...I was the first one down to try to help Jeff Monroe. I understand your anger and your pain. Don't add to it here."

[Ruby:] "My plans are grander then just this moment. Fortunately you are dealing with someone of great vision. I'm not a thug like she, her brother, and Geese are. My revenge will not come simply from violence. And so, I will hand you back your opponent after I've finished choking my name into her... destiny."

[Celes:] "The only rule for this match is that a wrestler can't lose by interference from someone else. Your participation here has been minimal. But if you do anything else to Robin then this match is over. No humiliation of her. No victory of mine. And Nicole Dramesi does not get her payment. I am left with no gain in the situation. If you want this done, you have to let me do it. Otherwise...you and I have a problem."

[Ruby:] "If you're making a threat, you're bluffing. You have no cards."

[Celes:] "But I can show the world yours. Tell us about Destiny, Ruby. Your secret way of life. Your overseas contacts. Old friends of your family."

Ruby's face begins turning red and she starts to stammer.

[Ruby:] "Ok, STOP. Enough. I'll go...for now. Just see to it you leave her with nothing. Not a shred of dignity or self-respect."

[Celes:] "Please leave the arena through the proper gates."

Ruby smirks.

[Ruby:] "My pleasure. This place reeks of failure. Oh and 'Coach', say hello for me to your roster. I so do enjoy Orochi-O's TV."

Ruby winks at Jean who turns completely pale. Then Ruby relinquishes the hold on Holly. At that very instant, Genji Security swarm from the entrance to surround Ruby. However, the people in the crowd around Ruby gather around her and we see that their black jackets say: "GAUNTLET Security". As soon as Agent 0 sees this, he quickly orders his men back. Gauntlet and Ruby leaves untouched. Agent 0 then sends his men under the ring. A few minutes later they emerge empty handed and quickly go backstage with Agent 0 who, for once, actually appears nervous. Geese looks back at Holly who nods for him and Kyle to go with Agent 0 who is urging Geese to walk with him.

Meanwhile, Luke Kisiera has run out to be near Jean in the ring. She looks shaken but admirably is keeping herself together. He immediately hugs her and walks her backstage with Marauder who has come out as well. Holly is on the floor, still holding her throat and trying to catch her breath. She looks at Celes in shocked desperation, almost ignoring the anger she had towards her before Ruby came out.

[Holly:] "She...she almost...she could have killed me!"

[Celes:] "Robin, I think it's time you and I had a talk. I just saved your life, after all. And unless you plan to attack any other innocent people, only to be attacked by someone else you angered, you really have no other option. What just happened to you was a result of Geese and your actions towards Jeff Monroe. But I can count on more then one hand how many others want revenge on you. You have no idea how many in this arena do at this very moment. As ridiculous as you may think it, the safest place to be is in this ring with ME. Nicole is waiting backstage, patiently, for her chance. It is time to show you exactly WHY, in the hopes that you can stop this cycle of violence."

Holly gets into the ring. Her body is still shaking but she looks at Celes as if she has no idea what to say.

[Celes:] "You've said enough for the next ten years. Now sit down and for once, LISTEN."

Celes unfolds the chair from before and Holly takes a seat. She's favoring her throat.

[Celes:] "I didn't come here to hurt you. I've already made that clear through my words and, more importantly, my actions. I've had ample opportunities to finish you off tonight. You fight recklessly and I simply have seen more battles then you. You've beaten more opponents by their shock at your spirit and resiliency then through your skills. Visper, Haley, Kat. They could have gotten some shots in on me. But you could never do so. That is the truth. Because my spirit AND skills are so much greater then yours. However, I do admire your will. If you would use that for the right reasons, you could truly be a force in this world. But all you have been for the last five years...is a filthy parasite."

Celes points to the Orochi-Tron which turns on and shows video of an old match. The ring has a PW-W logo and we see a much younger (and brown haired) Orochi Geese facing off with someone in red and white stripes. Then we see Holly running into the ring and kicking Geese in the nards. The other man pins Geese and Holly spits in Geese's face before walking away with the other man. Holly starts to get pale as she sees this footage and mouths "I'm sorry Geese."

[Celes:] "Ah yes, sorry. How many times have you told Geese that? How many times did it take for him to believe you? All because of Johnny Domino and your betrayal. That scene we just witnessed was the entire reason I came here to begin with. This was in 2003, Robin. How have you grown since then? What influence have you had on the world?"

Celes points to the Orochi-Tron again and we see the attack on Dizzy by Juli Krieger, Sandy Morton, and Linda Parker. We see audience, and Jean Carter, in utter shock and with tears in their eyes. We then see a picture of Dizzy in the hospital unconscious and pale.

[Celes:] "You came sickeningly close to taking a life. Even if it wasn't by your hands, it was by your design. Dizzy survived but her career and spirit did not. You killed her good nature, the sporit of one of the bravest and positive wrestlers I ever knew. And you almost just did the same thing to Jean Carter, a total innocent, moments ago. In doing so, I can guarantee you made even more enemies. Enemies that could come back to haunt you or those you love. You put so many in danger by your actions, Robin. Those you love most. You hold their careers, their happiness, and their lives hostage by your immaturity."

Celes points to the screen again and we see Jeremiah Jones attacking Kyle. Holly gets further pale as Celes shows 'lowlights' from the first two matches that Kyle and Jones had, especially the hardcore match where Jones send Kyle to the hospital. Tears start rolling down Holly's face as she sees the promo Kyle cuts while in the hospital against Jones.

[Holly:] "Stop, enough."

[Celes:] "Not even close to enough."

The screen then shows Kyle's massacre of Jones with the staple-attached bat in their third match. The video focuses on Kyle's crazed satisfied expression. And then it shows Jeremiah Jones in the hospital, his cheek bones utterly crushed. His girlfriend, Dizzy, in a wheelchair with a blank expression looking at him.*

[Celes:] "Quite a team your brother and you are. But the worst is always yet to come, Robin. And in this next scene, you at least show some promise in wanting to stop it."

The screen shows Kyle's recent hospital promo threatening to kill Clyde, Figaro and Celes. It also shows Holly coming in to try to calm Kyle down but to no avail. At this, Holly starts crying rather forcefully.

[Celes:] "Can you blame him for his behavior? You are his role model and all you've shown him is that violence is justified. How can you get him to calm down after he saw all you have done. This is the example you have set and he has followed it to a tee. He wanted to be just like his big sister and her boyfriend. Violent, irrational, and dangerous. A chip off the old Walker and Orochi Army block."

[Holly:] "It's not his fault, ok? It's mine. I know that. I already knew that before tonight. Why do you think Drake announced that Tag Title match before Ragnarok? So we could get Kyle refocused after tomorrow night is over over. More wrestling, less violence."

[Celes:] "It's too late. He cares far more about the latter then the former. And it IS partially his fault. No matter what he has learned from you, he must take responsibility for his actions. Unfortunately, he loves the destruction he has wrought. In some ways he's far worse then you. He has a hair trigger and someone he feels he has to protect. Someone who keeps getting herself into situations where she needs protection because of who she has hurt. Kyle's work will never be done as long as you actions continue. YOU are the reason he has turned out this way and your continued violence means his work will never be done. You'll always have new enemies for him to stalk. How can it ever end well?"

[Holly:] "I never told him to do this."

[Celes:] "You put him in danger and all that come after you. Eventually, the entire world of OG-Joshi and UBL will fall because violence begets violence. Kyle will get hurt, you will get hurt, Geese will get hurt. And lives will be ruined. All because of your selfishness and your need to show you are no longer weak."

[Holly:] "I'm NOT weak. The fact I'm still here after what Jo Ryder did to me shows it."

Celes goes right up to Holly's face.

[Celes:] "Your will to continue isn't weak. But the way you did it, the way you compensate is. We all have moments of weakness, Robin. I've had them too. But to become a scourge to the world to pay it back for your past troubles is the greatest weakness of all. Because YOU can't handle your past, the unfairness of the world, some may not have a future. And that means its you YOU making the world unfair for them. It's you who became Jo Ryder to so many other wrestlers and people in your life. The cycle of abuse and violence continued."

Celes points to the Tron and we see Alicia Gordon from earlier tonight hurting Haley.

[Celes:] "You failed to break Alicia's body but you destroyed her mind. She hates you as much as you hate Jo Ryder. She will now treat the world the same way you do, with contempt."

Then she shows a picture of Holly and Kyle when they were young. They are smiling and eating ice cream. Then we see a split picture of Holly's laughter after Dizzy's injury and a blood-soaked, maniacal Kyle after beating Jeremiah Jones. We go back to the picture of them when they were young as Holly starts crying."

[Celes:] "Why must you sentence these children's futures to pain and suffering? Along with so many others. Why can't you turn your life around? Truly forgive Jo Ryder. Forgive your parents. Forgive all those who have doubted or slighted you. And forgive yourself for not being strong enough to move past it. Robin, I know there is good in you but it is surrounded and controlled by your weakness. If you can admit it and start moving forward, if you can show true remorse, you can turn your world around. You can even do some good. The Robin Walker who first met Jo Ryder wanted to do great things. You wanted to be a scientist, a business woman who didn't cut throats. You wanted to make the world better."

[Holly:] "It's...it's too late."

The Orochi Tron shows Kyle and Geese's frightened faces from just a few minutes ago when Ruby held Holly prone. Holly finally breaks down uncontrollably sobbing.

[Celes:] "It wasn't too late THEN, it's not too late now. It's close, but you still have a chance. If it was too late, Ruby would have finished you off minutes ago right in front of Geese and your brother. And that would have been too late for all three of you. That's the definition of too late, when it's outside your control. But this you have a say in."

Holly can barely breathe cause of how hard she is crying.

[Celes:] "It's not too late. I know there is good in you, and in Geese too, and that is why I am so disappointed with the path you have chosen. But I know deep down you are unhappy and have been that way for a long time. Even winning the World Title wasn't enough because it simply reminded you of what you used to be and all who took advantage of you. So you wanted to get even with the world. And you wanted to make sure you were never seen as weak again, no matter who you hurt in the process. But in doing so, you lost the part of you that cared to begin with. Bring that back. For you, for your family, and for all the innocents that have been caught up in the wars you have started. Robin Walker may never have been a Champion, but she was a good person. A good person who had bad things happen to her that wasn't her fault. Holly is a cold, remorseless bitch who has ruined lives. Who do you want to tell your children that their mother is? If you even get to that point."

[Holly:] "What do you want me to do?"

[Celes:] "Quit this lifestyle. Apologize to those of who wronged. If you can truly show remorse, I will face Nicole Dramesi with you. I will even fight for your health because I do not believe the right answer to Nicole's mission is your destruction. Justice for Dizzy isn't taking another career and ruining another body. That would only lead your brother to take revenge on her and the cycle to continue."

[Holly:] "Why are you even doing this?"

[Celes:] "To help you get on with your life as I tried to help Geese. Because I realize, as much as I didn't like you or the things you have done, Geese and you are meant to be together and you two need to turn your lives around. This is my final gift to him even if he won't believe it. But I know right now, part of you does."

[Holly:] "What about Moreno...she almost killed me. She's not gonna stop."

[Celes:] "I can't promise you'll be safe from her but I know getting even won't make things better. You'll have to convince Kyle and Geese of that. You are right to be concerned about Moreno but if you defend yourselves for the right reasons, you will have friends who can protect you. But you, Kyle, and Geese have to be on the same page."

[Holly:] "Geese...can he change?"

[Celes:] "He will change. But it might be a lot more painful then your journey now."

[Holly:] "You mean...Clyde and Figaro?"

[Celes:] "That's not what I mean at all."

[Holly:] "You promise to tell him what you mean...and I'll quit now. I'll change. But if he and I can't be together peacefully, then it's not worth it."

[Celes:] "Deal. I'll speak with him tomorrow. Clyde, Figaro, and I will put him on the right path. You have my word. Now let's have yours."

Celes holds the microphone up to Holly's mouth. And with no hesitation...

[Holly:] "I quit."

*The bell rings (a new bell that was given to the timekeeper!) and Celes is announced as the winner of the match. But neither Celes or Holly acknowledge it.*

[Celes:] "I will stand with you now to protect your chance of redemption from Nicole."

[Holly:] "Just please help Geese...like you helped me."

[Celes:] "I will do my best. Clyde and Figaro will not badly hurt him or your brother tomorrow. But please realize they will defend themselves if Kyle tries to make good on his promise to mortally wound them. And at some point, you will have to get your brother on the right track again. Before worse can be done. That means being honest with yourself when you look him in the eyes and see true instability. True potential for violent crime. I'm not just talking about a chair attack outside a wrestling ring. Your brother is beyond that."

[Holly:] "I...he's gonna be ok, Celes."

[Celes:] "You better make that certain. Now, Nicole should be here soon. I suggest you get ready. I will try to speak with her rationally but you may still need to...be alert. She is a different beast then you are and I will not have the same time to make her see my point of view. If you get in trouble, run. I didn't spend the last half hour preaching to someone who ends up in the hospital. I will take responsibility to her for your departure. I lied to her about handing you over if you lose and I will face that fact with her."

[Holly:] "I'm not running. You stand up for me, and I'll stand up for you. I won't let you get hurt just for giving me a second chance."

Celes nods

[Celes:] "I guess I wasn't wrong to give you one then."

*The Orochi Tron turns on once again and we see backstage where Nicole Dramesi is stalking through the hallway with a grin on her face. As she turns a corner to enter the hallway with the curtain leading to the arena, she sees Orochi Geese.*

[Geese:] "Celes' psycho-babble and manipulation will not make you stand down. And it won't prevent me from doing what I need to stop you. Dramesi, I have heard of your feats but you have not faced me. And tonight with the stakes as they are, you stand no chance. Your mission is now over and Holly will be unharmed. Stand down. You don't merely face the Emperor or the Kaiser of Chaos, but the raging ferocity of instinct itself."

*Nicole shakes her head in the negative and begins to approach. Geese smiles and reaches into his pocket, pulling out a vial of red liquid. But Nicole is surprisingly quicker and lunges forward, crushing the vial with a kick. However, from the darkness behind the cameras, Kyle Walker leaps onto Nicole's back and STABS her neck with a hypodermic needle. Nicole grunts and throws Kyle off but finally, she appears woozy and drops to one knee. Kyle runs and hits her with a P'd off K and a combination of that and the needle's contents causes her to lose consciousness. Genji Security quickly converge on the scene.*

[Geese:] "Schassberg creation number 3 worked as advertised."

*Geese nods to Kyle who runs through the curtain and gets into the ring. He attempts to attack Celes but Holly stops him by hugging him. Before Kyle can do anything else, Clyde and Figaro emerge from the crowd to back up Celes. Finally Kyle helps Holly backstage but she's upset about what has just happened with Nicole. As we see them walking through the hallway where Geese has remained, Genji Security is removing Nicole, who is now in handcuffs. Holly looks at Geese who kisses her gently on the forehead then tells Kyle to bring her back to the locker room. Geese looks down at the downed Nicole Dramesi and then at the camera to the audience, specifically at Celes who is standing in the ring.*

[Geese:] "Your victory tonight is meaningless. The true end lies...beyond chaos."

*Night 1 ends as Geese laughs while Celes, Clyde, and Figaro stand in the ring looking defiant.*

Voltage 11/10

2010-11-15T23:45:00.002-05:00

Voltage - November 2010

*Autumn color confetti falls from the ceiling as the Orochi-Tron shows five matches.*

1: Yoshi Hattori vs. Natalia Nogaard
2: Tigerfly Sword vs. Avalon Porter
3: Tag Team Title #1 Contendership - J*NiGHT vs. Dod Squod
4: World Title #1 Contendership: Kat Black vs. Narai Kaeo
5: Tag Team Championship: Chanel Melendez/Lorelai vs. Reed Sisters (c)

We begin tonight with a rematch of an encounter from last year. Yoshi Hattori and Natalia Nogaard wrestled a very exciting and highly acclaimed match in the main event of the very first episode of Orochi-O's TV. However, due to the Time Limit Draw, the two wanted to go at it again. They were all set to do just that at the following Amplitude when Nicole Dramesi brutally attacked Natalia Nogaard backstage before the scheduled match. Natalia finally made her return at the last Voltage and is still working through some ring rust but she says she is ready for the rematch. Yoshi has had a lot of recent success, even capturing the Tag Team Titles with her partner in the Estrella promotion.

Natalia comes down to the ring to a great showing of applause. The audience is happy to have her back and healthy. Next, Yoshi Hattori comes down to ringside with her manager, Miss Asako Matsuki, leading the way and hollering at her. What Yoshi could have possibly done wrong to garner this chiding is unclear. However Asako seems extra stressed tonight considering she has two of her wrestlers on this show: with Narai wrestling Kat later for #1 contendership to the World Title. A lot of that stress is being taken out on Yoshi who just timidly nods at Asako's "instruction" and gets into the ring. She seems almost relieved to be away from Asako and in the ring facing Natalia. The two shake hands and start the match.

Match #1: Yoshi Hattori vs. Natalia Nogaard

And what an incredible match we had here! The two haven't lost a step in wrestling each other, that's for sure. Yoshi has really evolved since Natalia last faced her and that caused some problems for her. Natalia almost won with a roll-up but Yoshi digs down and manages to win with her seemingly impossible finisher!

Yoshi Hattori (O) [”You Are Eliminated” - 15:23] (X) Natalia Nogaard

Of further note is that Asako has not lost the scowl she's had on her face the entire time. Even with her charge winning, Asako is unhappy and screaming at her to get out of the ring. However, Yoshi isn't done yet and she goes over to Natalia to make sure she is ok. The two of them shake hands and Yoshi gives Natalia a brief hug while mouthing "please welcome back to OG-Joshi." The fans erupt for this display of sportsmanship and so does Asako, but negatively. She gets into the ring and drags Yoshi out of it, yelling at her all the way back to the ramp. Natalia is still a bit woozy from the YOU ARE ELIMINATED but gets her share of applause as she goes backstage.

And next we have the first 1 on 1 match from a feud that is quickly getting out of control. Tigerfly Sword and Avalon Porter both came to OG-Joshi with a chip on their shoulders aimed at each other due to their boyfriend/husband rivalry (Tiger Sword/Julian Caesaro) and their own issues in other feds such as FPCPP and GLITTER. Tigerfly was waiting to wrestle Avalon in OG-Joshi to show the world who is better but Avalon refused to give her that chance, thinking Sword beneath her. And so she required Sword to defeat both Valencia and Gabriella before facing her. Tigerfly did just that, beating Valencia twice and Gabriella once. At the previous Voltage, Tigerfly and H. defeated Avalon and Valencia only to receive a post-match beatdown from all of the Royal Deities as Gabriella arrived to make it a 3 on 2 situation. Now Tigerfly has the chance to pay Avalon back for that attack and show the world what she can do.

Tigerfly comes to the ring briskly and with her usual brand of quiet intensity. Avalon comes out next and is laughing at Tigerfly's personality, calling her as wooden as a board. Well, I wouldn't want to be HIT with a wooden board, that's for sure! And certainly not one in a square shape! Let's see if this wooden board gives Avalon splinters or if FPR can help me bend the analogy in another silly way! To the match!

And this was a very interesting match to behold. Tigerfly Sword seemed to have this all well in hand but then suddenly Avalon made a huge comeback at the end! Perhaps the attack on Tigerfly from the last show had done more damage then she let on. Either way, Avalon punctuated a very effective comeback with a Pedigree and won this match rather decisively despite Tigerfly's early domination. It looks like Sword will have to earn herself another rematch.

And we go next to our trio of matches that lead right to OG-FPD Ragnarok. The winner of this next match decides the challenger side of the OG-Joshi Tag Team Championship match. They will face whoever wins the main event tonight, which is the team that will go to Ragnarok as the Tag Team Champions. The two teams in our match now each had one member win a Battle Royale consisting of other top tag team stars. Jane Dod won the Amplitude Battle Royale and Kaori NiGHT won the Voltage one. Not only have these two teams faced off before, but they did it last year at the Renaissance PPV when J*NiGHT defended their Tag Titles successfully against the Dods, via Kaori NiGHT shining wizard. The Dods have considered beating J*NiGHT as a secondary target to winning the Tag Titles since they got here due to heat between the McLanahans and Dods stemming from Twinky and Jack's rivalry in PW-W and UBL. Tonight yet another battle between the two families occur and with a Tag Title shot on the line, it should be just as heated as ever.

Match #3: Tag Team Title #1 Contendership Match

What an incredible finish!!

Kaori attempted the same shining wizard that won J*NiGHT the match last time but Polly kicked out. And the last minute of this match was insane! The Dods got Kaori so angry with their double teaming of Jenny that she uncharacteristically grabbed a weapon! But Jane Dod was so amped up that she actually absorbed the shot and managed to hit her finisher right after! That was one of the craziest finishes to a match we've ever had, and the result are the Dod Squod going to OG-FPD Ragnarok for their second shot at the Tag Titles!! Jenny and Kaori don't even know how to respond to this as their chance of soon regaining the Titles has now been stopped by their worst enemies!

Jenny/Kaori (X) [DOD-DT - 18:48] (O) Jane/Polly

*We have a brief intermission due to the fact many of the fans threw garbage at the Dods after they won the match. Still, infinitely better then how a certain "fan section" named after a certain "letter" acted during Amplitude. But we'd really prefer not to turn into a "garbage fed." Luckily the Voltage crew gets the ring and ramp cleaned up quickly.*

*"Fields of Fantasy" play on the speakers as the crowd is shocked that the former OG-Joshi General has come out here. Celes arrives with a microphone and doesn't go to the ring but stays on the ramp.*

[Celes:] "I do not wish to hijack this show seemingly forever as Holly did last month. I just have a few words for her and everyone watching to put your minds at ease regarding my expectations for Ragnarok. Holly alleged that my intentions are of excessive violence aimed at her and I want to assure you all that is not the case. I do not plan on causing grievous bodily harm to her or anyone. It's not why I came here, it's not how I will leave here. It's not my way. So what you are all wondering is how I can possibly win our match without me ripping her voice box out and making it say that it quits?"

*Celes paces around for a few seconds, surveying the fans.*

[Celes:] "Holly, you say that making you quit would be doing the impossible. And yet you continually take pride in telling us how you have always risen against those very odds. That your whole life and all your success has been a result of you doing what others thought you, what anyone in your position, were incapable of. So I ask you, just what IS possible?"

*An image appears on the screen of Holly when she was in high school. She has brown hair and looks generally pleasant.*

[Celes:] "How could that girl - someone that by all accounts started as a decent human being - devolve into the vile scoundrel she is today? It doesn't seem possible."

*Another much more recent image appears of blond haired Holly with a bloodthirsty and twisted expression of joy looking at Dizzy getting crippled by Holly's allies.*

[Celes:] "Quite an unfortunate and unlikely fall from grace. So can I do what others have failed to do? Can I stop her? How can I make her quit? Obviously I must use different means then what others have tried if I am to expect my method to work. Furthermore, she does speak some elements of truth. Her body and will are as resilient and ironclad as she claims. But her mind, her soul, her sense of right and wrong are more broken then I could possibly describe in my self-imposed limits here today.

*Celes checks her watch and frowns*

[Celes:] "Holly, I will break you down in front of the entire world and then I will build you back up again. At that point, your fate will then be up to you. All you need to know is that I could have left at any time. But I have a mission. I did not stay here and face you just to quit. And neither did Figaro and Clyde. The stakes are too high for everyone backstage and in the audience watching. Ragnarok will indeed be the end of an era, and one we will rejoice in putting behind us.

However, as I will be leaving after that, I wanted to say one final goodbye to the Voltage fans. I have been here for a number of years and it was my pleasure to do what I could to keep OG-Joshi entertaining and inspiring you. And I will not quit at Ragnarok and miss out on my final chance at doing so."

*As Celes is walking backstage, Kat Black comes out for her match. Celes smiles and shakes Kat's hand, whispering something to her. Kat nods and walks to the ring as Celes claps for Kat, starting a "Kat" chant.

And Kat is out to face Narai Kaeo with the winner going to Ragnarok to challenge the OG-Joshi World Champion, Visper Karr. Kat is no stranger to Visper, wrestling her at OG-Joshi Illumination in a Triple Threat match where Visper defeated Kat after Kat defeated Holly. Narai, however, is a total newcomer to the World Title contender scene, having just debuted in OG-Joshi a year ago. Her rise was punctuated by a knockout victory over Lana at Illumination and then an opportunistic victory over a feuding Alicia Gordon and Haley Cannon in a triple threat match to get this match tonight. Narai is an extremely dangerous striker but she is going in against a very motivated and fearless Kat..

Narai is out now being led by Asako Matsuki, hoping for two wins tonight. Asako is demonstrably more supportive of and positive with Narai then she was with Yoshi earlier. Kat is getting loose in the ring (Ghost commentary of Mr. Figaro: "Oh yeah!) and we're about to start this very important match. If Narai were to win here and then defeat Visper, OG-Joshi would have an entirely different tone to it. Kat and Visper, while two competitive women, are also two honorable and peaceful ones. And it is the wish of many of the fans and those backstage that Narai and other violent women like her are kept out of the Title scene after the damage Holly had done for years when she was Champion. A lot is on Kat's shoulders right here but she looks even more ready then one can ask her to be. But the look in the eyes of Narai, and the look of her muscular elbows, legs, and knees suggest that Kat will need to be ready at the hardest times to prepare for. Let's see if she can be.

Gotta be the ninja shoes! Narai is not used to facing wrestlers with such an aerial arsenal and she could not possibly have imagined that Kat would LAUNCH herself halfway across the ring to finish like that! Kat was extremely focused and agile here, taking Narai's best and giving it back to her with interest. While Narai certainly pushed Kat and showed why she earned a contendership match, Kat was simply too much for her. Narai got to the big leagues here and saw why the cream of the crop in OG-Joshi is considered to be exactly that. Kat Black with a very impressive victory to go to Ragnarok and finally get her 1 on 1 shot at Visper Karr and the OG-Joshi World Championship!

Kat Black (O) [Rounding Body Press - 14:30] (X) Narai Kaeo

It is upsetting to notice that Asako Matsuki is nowhere near as angry at Narai for her loss as she was at Yoshi for her win. Perhaps Yoshi could use some new management? Narai and Asako storm backstage and don't even try to attack Kat given the beating Narai just sustained. Kat celebrates in the ring as we go to a brief commercial break for Thanksgiving. Yep, advertising Thanksgiving. JUST IN CASE YOU FORGET TO HAVE IT.

We come back, likely full and with our belts unbuckled (Ghost commentary of Mr. Figaro: "Whoo! Clyde's belt sure was after that last match!"), for the main event. Chanel and Lorelai earned this spot by defeating Team Chuu Chuu at Amplitude, but also by the Reed Sisters offering this Tag defense after what happened after the Voltage Battle Royale when multiple teams were unhappy that only one would be getting a title shot soon. So the Reeds stepped up and chose Team Chuu Chuu and Chanel/Lorelai as two contending teams given their recent accomplishments. The Reeds are relatively new Tag Champions, having defeated J*NiGHT at Illumination and actually are the first Tag Team Champions in OG-Joshi to offer to defend their titles before a PPV or generally without being asked to. Whether they want to be known as fighting champions or just wanted to help alleviate the tension forming in the tag scene, Coach Carter and the fans certainly appreciate this match. But if it comes at the cost of them going to Ragnarok, due to potentially losing to Chanel and Lorelai in this match, it will certainly be a bittersweet gesture. Which team can win tonight and head to the biggest show of the year as the Tag Champions? Let's find out now!

And another incredible tag team match and finish tonight!! Lorelai almost won with a powerbomb right in the middle of the ring but Harmony broke it up! Seconds later, Lorelai almost made Melody tap! Then, after Chanel and Lorelai isolated Melody, she suddenly busted out her "Al Fine" finisher and rolled Lorelai up! Lorelai is not fully used to facing technical wizards and Melody just showed what she could do when faced with a high pressure situation! She relied on the ref doing her job and sending Chanel back as Lorelai had no escape to such a well executed pin. You have to give Chanel and Lorelai a ton of credit here though for coming as close as they did in their very first Title match in OG-Joshi. It is clear this will not be their last chance at winning those titles.

Chanel/Lorelai (X) ["Al Fine" - 23:28] (O) Melody/Harmony

Chanel and Lorelai go back up the ramp unhappy but the fans give them their support for their efforts anyway. Meanwhile the Reeds celebrate in the middle of the ring as the show goes to a close. But before it can, we see the Dods sneaking out from backstage! The Reeds don't see them and-"

"Don't you two DARE!"

It's Jean Carter with a microphone and she's holding a piece of paper!

The Reeds turn around shocked to see the Dods close to the ring with chairs in their hand!

[Jean:] "Jane, Polly. This is it. You go into that ring right now and your contract for Ragnarok will be torn up. In fact, you do what you were about to do, and I'll shred your contracts too. You want those titles, you fight for them the RIGHT way or you're out the BACK way. Do we understand each other?"

The Dods seem to be as convinced by this argument to not attack the Reeds as they are by the fact that Chanel, Lorelai, Jenny, Kaori, and Team Chuu Chuu have come out to surround the ring. The Dods smirk and head backstage while holding their arms high as if they just won the Titles. The fans cheer for Jean who shakes her head disappointingly at the Dods but then claps for the Reeds and everyone else who came out to help them.

[Jean:] "We'll see you all at Ragnarok!"

The show fades to black as the Reeds continue celebrating in the ring.

Amplitude - 10/2010

2010-10-28T00:49:00.004-04:00

OG-Joshi Amplitude: October 2010 - "Autumntude"

Location: The Amplitheater, Peter Venkman Memorial Arena, NY.

Capacity crowd here in the Amplitheater given the repercussions of the matches tonight. We have two #1 Contender encounters, one for the Tag Team Championship and the other, in the main event, for the Amplitude Championship.

Let's start off with newcomer Jeska Rose against a woman who is scheduled to be at OG-FPD Ragnarok, Ayame Yamato. She will be facing her student Naomi in what is probably the match on that show with the least tension in it. However, tonight's match will feature plenty of tension in the form of holds locked onto joints since both Ayame and Jeska are submission experts. Ayame comes down to the ring to applause, especially from Naomi who happens to be in the crowd. That girl may want to think about getting a BIT more competitive before their match! Next out comes Jeska who is looking incredibly focused. A good showing here against a succesful vet like Ayame would certainly get her noticed. Let's get to the match!

Match #1: Ayame Yamato vs. Jeska Rose

For the first few minutes, they appear to be mirror images of each other as they both elected to start the match using their considerable speed. Not only are these two girls experts in submissions, but Jeska has a lucha background and Ayama can work a fast paced junior style. The two light the place up with arm drags, dropkicks and other quick moving...moves that get the fans on their feet to start the show. However, as Ayame goes for an armdrag, Jeska quickly drops down into a lightning fast kimura hold! It looks like Jeska wanted to kick this match into a higher gear and keep Ayame on the ground. Or, at the very least, surprise her.

Jeska begins to work on Ayame's arms with a lot of joint snapping moves and further stretching. We can hear Naomi in the crowd cheering Ayame on (She may do the same thing in her match with Ayame!) and that helps to rally her. Ayame is able to reverse an attempted jujigatame and turn it into a painful looking ankle lock. Jeska grabs the ropes and retakes control. Ayame is not accustomed to facing someone else who is as skilled as her and as quick. 'Shino' was the former but not the latter. Jeska is really making an impression here, but Ayame's expression doesn't show any signs of panic. Instead, she capitalizes on a missed dropkick by Jeska and goes back to the assault on her lower leg.

We've seen Ayame win her last few matches with radically different focuses on her opponents' body. It shows how versatile her submission game is. Jeska may not have expected this range from her and tried to just take her arms away after seeing how much Ayame used them against Shino. Ayame has now put on a number of different moves, including moves done by her legs, designed to weaken Jeska's legs and, as a result, reduced her speed as well. Jeska's legs being worn down isn't just keeping her grounded but also taking away the leverage she needs to defend submissions and properly apply her own. This is seen when Jeska reverses Ayame's jacknife pin, after a dropkick, and tries to apply a triangle choke but her legs are no longer strong enough to hold Ayame in place. Instead Ayame grabs Jeska's right leg and drops down into a heel hook! Jeska isn't close enough to the ropes and has no choice but to tap! Ayame has won this with her ingenuity, determination, and focus.

Ayame Yamato (O) [Heel Hook - 12:10] (X) Jeska Rose

The fans appreciate the efforts of both women here, and Ayame pats Jeska on the back and shakes her hand.

Next we have a tag match pitting two rivals against each other. Heather Heaton of Gen X and Firefly have traded wins over the last few months. Heather won the first match via Firefly's own back rolling neck lock and Firefly won the second by amazingly reversing Heather's Complete Shot into a surprising Gannosuke Clutch. They are hoping to have a tiebreaker match but, for now, Coach Carter has placed them into a tag match. Heather has chosen her Gen X teammate, Rachel Sky, to tag with her. H was supposed to back up Firefly but due to the Deities attack on H at Voltage, Juli Tanaka has been chosen to fill her place here so that H can heal properly.

Firefly and Juli Tanaka come out first, the two discussing strategy. It's possible the two haven't had as much time to prepare due to the late replacement. Heather and Rachel come out next and Rachel is ecstatic to be teaming with her friend here. Heather is thoroughly enjoying the cute look on Rachel's face and trying to discuss teamwork in a more 'physical' way then Firefly and Juli. Rachel blushes as the match begins and Heather lightly pats her on the ass for support.

What a finish! Heather and Firefly traded finishers there but it was Firefly who was able to keep Heather down. Cutting off the ring and keeping Heather in Firefly's corner certainly helped; As did that incredibly strong Mayan Suplex. You also have to hand it to Rachel Sky and Juli for backing up the two rivals in this match. This being Rachel's second only OG-Joshi match, she continues to impress. But she was tested by Juli Tanaka who wanted to see what this fresh-faced rookie could do. Judging by their expressions afterward, Juli was impressed.

Juli Tanaka/Firefly (O) [Mayan Suplex - 28:27] (X) Heather/Rachel Sky

Apparently Firefly thought that Heather had kicked out and that is why she hit the Mayan Suplex again after the bell. She apologized to all parties involved. Heather and Rachel go backstage, looking a bit dejected that they lost but trying their best to look upbeat.

Speaking of upbeat, Lina is out next and the L-Section just about loses their voices all screaming her name!! It's like a million smark voices have screamed out at once, and Lina felt the force of its desperation. She sighs, puts her ear plugs again, and walks to the ring while shaking hands with some more mild mannered fans and some children. This attention on the other fans seem to drive the L-Section fans even crazier and one large fan takes off his shirt to reveal a tattoo of Lina's entire (thankfully clothed) body on his stomach, Unfortunately for Lina, as much as she may want to now, it's not safe to wear a blindfold in the ring to match her ear plugs.

Minerva comes out next and looks to be all business. She hasn't gotten the attention she demands yet and looks to take it out on one of Amplitude's most popular wrestlers. Minnie is also looking extremely stylish in new attire!

Let's get to the match! (and ignore that it's been going on for 24 seconds already!)

Match #3: Lina vs. Minerva

Lina and Minerva go the opposite way of the Ayame and Jeska. Rather then dazzling the audience with high flying, they begin laying into each other with punches and kicks. Although there was no ill will between these two, its clear that both know what the other is capable of. And like Jeska did before, Minerva hopes to get a big Goose feather in her cap by beating or at least being competitive with one of the stars of Amplitude, Lina.

After Lina gets the better of the brawling, Minerva immediately thumbs her in the eye. The L-Section fans go nuts as if their own eye was thumbed! (and some of them look like that would be the most action they'd have gotten in years. Some hot eye-thumbin'). Lina is temporarily blinded. And due to her ear plugs, caused by the extremely loud noise from the fans, Lina can't hear Minerva running the ropes and is unable to defend against a huge lariat! Of course, this makes the fans even louder with rage and Lina, still partially blind, is practically helpless here. Even if she wasn't wearing ear plugs, its doubtful she could hear anything besides the fans roaring with displeasure at Minerva's...rather legal followup moves. Lina's head was knocked against the mat pretty hard by that lariat and she's clearly dizzy and still unable to see. Minerva laughs at this situation and starts taunting the fans with a little hip dance. I'm sure her husband Athrin Kazama, of UBL, is enjoying this.

Lina gets a 'lucky' break as Minerva chooses to grapple with her next, rather then continue striking. As a result, Lina gets a hold of Minerva and desperately throws her between the ropes to the floor. This allows Lina some time to get her vision back. Minerva isn't getting back in right away, though. Rather she appears to be jawing with a fan in a Lina t-shirt. It appears to be one of the fans dressed similarly to the rest of the L-Section fans. It appears they came all the way down to the floor to yell at Minerva! Once Lina regains her vision, she sees the new scene in front of her. She is getting very irritated and goes outside to try to stop this exchange. But Minerva sees it coming and floors Lina with a turning roundhouse kick to the face.

As Minerva is focused towards Lina, the fan jumps the railing! He jumps onto Minerva's back trying to take her down, but she backs up hard against the ring post crushing him. The ref immediately calls for the bell and another fan, dressed similarly to the first one joins in to try to take Minerva down. He yells: "This is for blinding Lina" but before any damage can be done to Minerva, a furious Athrin runs down the ramp and absolutely decimates the second fan with a lariat of Rage!! In a grisly scene, the fan actually vomited in mid air due the force and torque of the lariat. The first fan sees this, gets the fear of the demon in his eyes, and the fear of the demon STAIN in his pants, and tries to run but Athrin grabs his hair and throws him face first into the metal ring post!! Athrin helps Minerva up and the two march out. Lina has no idea what to do and just walks back up the stage as the L-Section fans boo Athrin but cheer Lina. This...just got out of control.

Lina (X) [Disqualification - 9:12] (O) Minerva

*We take a brief intermission here to sort things out. Security, and not the medics, take the two unconscious fans and presumably give them "the help they need". A stern warning is issued to all of the fans, especially in L-Section as to what happens if they interfere in the action. In fact Genji Security says outright that Athrin and Minerva will not be punished as they were just responding to the aggression from those two fans. Once things are a bit calmer, we get back to the show.*

And we do so in style as the winners of the next match will challenge the Reed Sisters for their OG-Joshi Tag Team Championships at Voltage. The losers of this match will get a chance to challenge for the Titles too, but not til after Ragnarok. So the winners here get the chance to win the Title and take it to the biggest show of the year. And who they defend it against at Ragnarok will be determined at Voltage as well. But that is thinking too far ahead as first they have to win tonight and then beat the Reed Sisters who have a great run of momentum right now.

Both Team Chuu Chuu and the team of Chanel/Lorelai are relatively new faces on the Tag Team Title scene but they have each earned their presence in different ways. Chanel and Lorelai defeated former long time Tag Champs J*NiGHT on Amplitude a few months ago. That was the biggest win of their OG-Joshi career so far. And Lorelai also gained a number of eliminations at last month's Voltage Battle Royale. As for Team Chuu Chuu, both members managed to be the last one eliminated for each Battle Royale, and gained some eliminations as well. Let's see which team can eliminate the other one here.

What a way to end this match! After both sides tried unsuccessfully for flash pins, Chanel put the match away with her finisher!! Lorelai did her damage as well with her Cerberus Driver. She may have even taken the victory had she gone to the third level of it. Meanwhile Chuu Chuu put up what was perhaps their best match ever in OG-Joshi, even if it resulted in a loss. They showed resilency and some great teamwork. And they will get the first shot at the Tag Team Champions after Ragnarok. It may even be a rematch of tonight if Chanel and Lorelai are able to win two matches in a row: Once against the Reeds, and then against the winners of the #1 Contender match at Voltage. The Tag Team scene has really picked up!

Team Chuu Chuu (X) ["Jade Fusion" - 26:36] (O) Chanel/Lorelai

As Chuu Chuu walk backstage, they are "greeted" by Sako and Hae-Won who mock them for losing. However they didn't count on Lorelai and Chanel to back up Chuu Chuu! Not wanting to face a two on four, Sako and Hae Won slowly back up while taking note of Chanel and Lorelai's participation here. Lorelai locks eyes with Hae Won and its lucky we have the main event coming up and security coming to clear thee women out or else we may get a brawl right here.

And now it's time to decide who gets to go to Ragnarok to face Eris Byrne, the OG-Joshi Amplitude Champion: A Title she earned by beating Jenna Stone in a tournament where Jenna advanced past Gutter thanks to the interference of Judy Bones. After what we saw earlier with Lina's fans, security is at an all time high inside the arena. This unnamed narrator doesn't expect anyone to be able to interfere, and our kind is never wrong. We see all.

Gutter comes out first and walks down to the ring. She is soon followed by the always-energetic Jenna Stone who half-runs down the ramp and up the ring steps, making a standing jump from the apron, over the ropes and into the ring. Our referee, Mary, goes through the traditional pre-match check, directs each woman to her corner, and goes to call for the bell..

"Hold it!"

*Gutter and Jenna turn to the ramp and the AmpliTron, where Eris Byrne has just appeared on the screen, a satisfied smirk on her face.*

[Eris:] "You know, when I first heard of this match I wasn't impressed. Jenna? You got a free ride to your last title shot, and I beat you at Illumination. Gutter? Shouldn't you be worried about old friends looking for you lately? Come to think of it, perhaps both of you should."

*Eris shrugs*

[Eris:] "I could think of worthier opponents. Women who have proven that they can take me to the limit. Women who aren't good friends with the powers that be..."

*Eris pauses, as if considering her options.*

[Eris:] "Very well... let your inevitable defeat at my hands be the prize you fight for, like good little gladiators. Fight for the entertainment of your goddess, and try not to disappoint me. Start the match!"

*The AmpliTron flickers out with a dismissive wave from Eris as the bell rings, Gutter and Jenna turning to face each other as the match begins*

And Gutter has earned herself her first shot at the Amplitude Championship! What a match we had here with Jenna making a comeback and getting to hit her two Powerstone variations, Driver and Bomb. And for Gutter to kick out of those, miraculously, showed the passion she has to keep on fighting. Jenna looked shocked that Gutter did exactly that and finally took the match with her Mad Splash, the move we saw her beat Cynthia San Martino with last year. You gotta hand it to both girls here for their efforts in this match. And now, Gutter is headed to Ragnarok against Eris Byrne.

Jenna Stone (X) [Mad Splash - 15:43] (O) Gutter

And folks, that's it for Amplitude shows for 2010! We'll see you at Voltage next month and maybe an O's TV or two. Ragnarok is right around the corner! Go to their house in a few days since I hear they have good candy!

...
...

*It's a half hour after the formal end of Amplitude. We see a few camera men chatting in the parking lot as one of the cameras are still on.*

[CM1:] "Yeah, great show man."

[CM2:] "So uh, why do you want to video tape this?"

[CM1:] "I found a way to get better resolution from the cameras, I just need to try it on a person to make sure it works right. So just like, hop around or something."

*We see CM 2 start to hop around but then the camera starts focusing on something in the distance. It zooms in closer and before we know it, we see Gutter walking outside the arena with her duffel bag.*

[CM1:] "Oh hey, it's Gutter. Maybe we can ask her to put a hold on you to see how it looks in HD."

*Before CM 1 can do so, suddenly Gutter is jumped from behind.*

[CM1:] "Shit - it's Judy Bones! Quick, run inside and get security! She might be armed!!"

*CM 2 runs inside while CM1 keeps his focus on the attack, making sure to videotape it.*

Judy got the jump on Gutter by sneaking up behind her and choking her with a pair of handcuffs. She still has them wrapped around her neck. Gutter is about to pass out but she fires some kicks to Judy's knee. Judy then reaches into her pocket, as Gutter is gasping for air, and pulls out some brass knuckles. She hammers Gutter's face with them to the point of a heavy flow of blood being drawn. Gutter still manages to throw a punch that grazes Judy's chin. Judy responds with a knee to the stomach and then shoves Gutter's head through the glass of a car window. Then she slams her face repeatedly against the hood of the same car!

While Gutter is still leaning over, Judy grabs her in a headlock and does a battering ram right into the concrete wall of the Arena! This completely knocks Gutter out. Judy puts the handcuffs on her and drags her on the ground to another car, presumably Judy's as she just opened the trunk using a key. She hoists Gutter up and places her in the trunk! But before she has a chance to close the hood, she is pushed aside...by none other then Luke Kisiera!!

Judy tries to hit Luke with one of the brass knuckles but Luke ducks, kicks Judy in the stomach, snapmares her (always useful for a parking lot brawl), and kicks her in the back. Apparently her ass landing on the cold, hard parking lot ground and then being kicked in the lower spine stunned Judy enough that Luke has enough time to remove Gutter from the trunk. Genji Security followed by Jean Carter now run out to the parking lot and Judy curses aloud, immediately gets into the car, turns it on, and hightails it out of the parking lot. Security stabilizes the area and medics come as Jean looks on sobbing at the unconscious and bleeding Gutter. The camera gets closer to the scene as we hear Camera Man 1's voice telling Security that he got the entire attack on tape.
