[The scene opens with an aerial shot
of a studio set. There are two men sitting behind a desk. One is Yo
Kurasawa - the legendary commentator, notorious pervert, and current
Vice President of Talent Relations and Head Booker for Iron Japan.
Next to him is Eric O'Flaherty – a pale man in an Irish flat cap. A
video screen is behind them.]
KURASAWA: Welcome to the English
language highlight show for Iron Japan Pro Wrestling! This was Night
Two of International Incident 2016! We're coming to you from the
Saitama Super Arena – the spiritual home of Rising Sun Wrestling.
This is a new age in puroresu and many of the old RSW stars came out
tonight to take part in the IJPW puroresu revolution. I'm Yo
Kurasawa. Sitting next to me is Pro Wrestling's Rogue Manager and
founder of the Ultraviolence Union – Eric O'Flaherty, who has seen
better days...
O'FLAHERTY: Shut
the fuck up. That's how you start the program?
KURASAWA: I
didn't think you would be so touchy.
O'FLAHERTY: I'm
not. I just don't like the way you threw it over to me. How about we
get to the highlights?
Tag Team Match
Mallory and Mercy
(Mallory Northway and Mercy Monroe) vs. Rotten Saints (Big Ugly and J
Murda)
KURASAWA: If
you insist, Eric... This was a match between two teams who suffered
losses on Sunday and are hoping to get back on the winning track
before next month's Team Crown Tournament. Mallory and Mercy lost to
Dave Manton and Stan Ward, while the Rotten Saints lost to Imperial
after Big Ugly tapped out. Word on the street is that both teams have
had some in-fighting over the last few days.
O'FLAHERTY: You
don't get to this level without being highly competitive.
KURASAWA: Also
consider that Mallory and Mercy are just as known for feuding with
each other as they are for being a team. Big Ugly and J Murda weren't
the best friends growing up in Detroit either. Tensions were high for
both teams. The referee for this match was Tashiaki Suzuki.
BACK IN THE STUDIO
KURASAWA: After
the match, things broke down backstage between Mallory and Mercy.
They actually came to blows.
O'FLAHERTY: Wow,
what a big shocker. You can set your watch to these two turning on
each other.
KURASAWA: They
haven't ruled out the possibility of a Team Crown run yet, but they
have agreed to face each other at the Tokyo Dome on Saturday.
O'FLAHERTY: To
work their differences out? They can't go to a counselor? They have
to take up a spot on the card at the fucking Tokyo Dome?
KURASAWA: I
know you're not their biggest fan, but Mallory Northway vs. Mercy
Monroe is a top draw anywhere! The Centerfold vs. The Queen!
O'FLAHERTY: Alright,
calm down you nerd. I'll admit that it's good for business... on
paper. They better knock the shit out of each other. Not just because
it's best for the Ultraviolence Union going into Team Crown, but
because a spot on a Tokyo Dome card shouldn't get taken up by
something that can be solved with some simple counseling. What
happens if Saturday comes along and they make up before the show?
KURASAWA: They
could do that, but history has shown that they only make up after the
war.
Singles Match
Stan Ward vs. Kuni
Hishida
KURASAWA: There's
some more tag team turmoil this week. “White Tiger” Kuni Hishida
and her life partner, AKIO, scored a victory on Sunday against the
Rotten Saints in a bloody war. Fabulous Adrian Bagglio has apparently
continued to stalk them, so it's hard for Imperial to be comfortable
at any moment of their life. It's no laughing matter considering
FAB's antics in his matches against Hishida. However, Dave Manton and
Stan Ward have taken the opportunity to make fun of Imperial. They
mocked Imperial for “letting some fruitcake” get to them. It's
very crass, but AKIO erupted with anger on social media and in the
press.
O'FLAHERTY: That
couple is clearly feeling the pressure right now. FAB is in their
heads.
KURASAWA: Since
Imperial doesn't know where FAB is right now, they want to take out
their frustrations on Manton and Ward. They'll get them in tag team
action at the Tokyo Dome, but they've been split into singles matches
tonight. The referee for Ward vs. Hishida was Cassidy Reischer.
Six Person Tag Team Match
Naraku no Soko
(KANNON, Akuma Usami, and Vera Vicious) vs. Los Asesinos (Raul El
Aguila and Roberto Lopez) and Jocelin Masterson
KURASAWA: KANNON
has created some incredibly bizarre and disturbing scenes in Iron
Japan. He's burned the face of a dojo student with a fire ball. He
put Konosuke Usami in a straight jacket and dragged him out of the
Tokyo Dome with a chain around his neck at World Crown – Night Ten.
Then Konosuke was no longer Konosuke. He's Akuma Usami – the first
minion for KANNON's Naraku no Soko. Then on Sunday, Naraku no Soko
continued to attack The Alternative after beating them. Usami put
Christy Hayden out of action for a long time after doing the Burning
Hammer onto the ring apron, and they carried Vera Yordanka out of
Kobe World Memorial Hall in a straight jacket. Now the Bulgarian punk
rocker who promoted the free spirit, and who Japanese fans have taken
to as their own, is now Vera Vicious. Naraku no Soko took on a three
person team made up of Los Asesinos and Jocelin Masterson here at the
Saitama Super Arena. Mabuchi Hida was the official for this match.
POST-MATCH
HIGHLIGHTS
[KANNON stands
in the middle of the ring with a microphone His Dark World
Championship is draped over a shoulder. Usami and Vera stand behind
him.]
KANNON: [In
Japanese. Points to Usami.]
Akuma Usami...
[Points to
Vera.]
Vera Vicious...
[Spreads one
arm out and takes in the moment.]
I am KANNON... King of the Dark World... We are NARAKU... NO...
SOKOOOOOOOO!
[The crowd
stirs. KANNON looks toward the stage.]
KURASAWA: [In
Japanese.] Isamu
Shinagami! He has a microphone!
SAKURAI: [In
Japanese.] Puroresu's
old king of darkness against the new king!
SHINAGAMI: [In
Japanese.] KANNON...
I have watched you come
up... I have always kept an eye on you. Part of me wanted to see you
succeed. The other part of me wanted to crush you. Now I am old. Now
I regret letting you get this far. I have made many enemies in my
life, but I know I can't fight you alone at this point. I don't know
where I will find the help... If I don't, then so be it... I'm
calling you three out to a match at the Tokyo Dome! I might come with
help. I might come alone.
BUT YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY INFERNAL THRONE!
[Shinagami
elicits gasps by spewing green mist into the air. KANNON responds by
spitting a fire ball into the air. It is very clear that the
challenge has been accepted as the two sides stare each other down.]
KURASAWA:
[In Japanese.] Can
Isamu Shinagami find two others to help him take on Naraku no Soko?!
SAKURAI: [In
Japanese.] Even if he
can become friends with two people by Saturday night, I don't think
they will want to get in the ring with Naraku no Soko after seeing
what's happened to everyone else who's stepped in KANNON's way
recently!
Singles Match
Dave Manton vs.
AKIO
KURASAWA: This
is a continuation of the Imperial vs. Manton and Ward split-off into
singles action. Ward beat Hishida earlier in the night. AKIO hoped to
avoid his team getting swept. Kuni Ariwara was the official for this
match.
Singles Grudge Match
Teiji Shintaro vs.
Ricky Doyle
KURASAWA: The
Doyle Brothers will take on Ricky Holt and Teiji Shintaro at the
Tokyo Dome in a bid to get the IJPW World Tag Team Championship back.
Tonight, the two teams were split into singles action. Ricky Doyle
has seen a lot growing up on the streets of Belfast, but he's never
seen anyone like Teiji “The Terror” Shintaro.
O'FLAHERTY: Teiji
is the living embodiment of the deathmatch. He's in the Ultraviolence
Union for a reason. I may be the founder, but Teiji was the
inspiration. The man is uncontrollable, but don't let all the shit
eating and shit flinging fool you. He's one of the smartest people I
have ever met. He's book smart and street smart. He still lives on
the streets and terrorizes Tokyo. He has a lot of time to read books
when he's not beating people up for clothing and food. The man
doesn't believe in money, credit cards, or property ownership. All he
cares about is living his life like a violent spectacle.
KURASAWA: Ricky
Doyle – the accomplished MMA fighter vs. Teiji Shintaro – the
most dangerous man on the planet, one-half of the IJPW World Tag Team
Champions, and a man who stabbed Jona Ziesemer in the throat with a
fork during World Crown. Masanori Katayanagi was the referee for this
match.
POST-MATCH
HIGHLIGHTS
[Teiji is on
top of Ricky Doyle in a corner. He draws the fork out of his
underwear and ruthlessly stabs him in the head, over and over!
Terrified dojo students get in the ring, but Teiji soon chases them
off. This allows a few of them at ringside to pull Ricky Doyle out of
there and carry the bloodied man to the back.]
KURASAWA:
[In Japanese.] Teiji
doesn't look like he wants to leave the ring! He wants to keep
fighting!
SAKURAI: [In
Japanese.] Who's going
to get him out of there? This guy is scary!
KURASAWA:
[In Japanese.] The
tighty whities are coming off!
SAKURAI:
[In Japanese.] Don't
thr– awwww! He threw it into the crowd! He threw his bloody and
shitty underwear into the crowd!
KURASAWA:
[In Japanese.] He's
about to christen the ring too!
[Teiji squats
in the middle of the ring and releases a torrent of wet feces.]
SAKURAI:
[In Japanese.] We
will need to clean the ring before the next match! He's eating it!
He's rolling around and ea– OH LOOK OUT!
[Teiji throws a
handful into the crowd. It gets on pretty much everyone in the
direction he threw it. Content with himself, Teiji rolls out of the
ring.]
KURASAWA:
[In Japanese.]
HE'S COMING HERE! RUN!
[Everyone
scatters as Teiji grabs his World Tag Team title belt from the
abandoned ringside table before going back to the locker room.]
IJPW Television Championship
Trista Capra vs. (c) Lainey Boyle
KURASAWA: After
we cleaned Teiji's mess, it was time for Trista Capra's rematch for
the IJPW Television Championship. The Original Deathmatch Queen lost
the belt in her first title defense on Sunday against Lainey Boyle.
“The Boston Bitch” said she wasn't just going to knock her back
to Pittsburgh this time. Lainey said she would knock her back to the
'90s! Nanako Fujioka was the official for this IJPW Television
Championship bout.
POST-MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
[Lainey Boyle,
with blood running down her face, manages to leave with the IJPW
Television Championship around her waist. She passes the muscular
Ashley Thorne, Trista's tag team partner, on her way out. The
exchange glares but move on.]
KURASAWA:
[In Japanese.]
Trista Capra is still reeling from that elbow bunt. She's
disappointed with herself, but she was the first ever IJPW Television
Champion. She won it at the Tokyo Dome at 54-years-old. She beat Nate
Narwin, Isamu Shinagami, and Paul Cannon to win that belt. Just like
how she's The Original Deathmatch Queen, that is something nobody can
take away from her. She's being checked on and consoled by her tag
team partner, Ashley Thorne.
SAKURAI: [In
Japanese.] Ashley is
helping her up and she recognizes her friend, mentor, and tag team
partner by raising her arm in the air. This is a moment that Trista
Capra deserves.
[Ashley pulls
Trista into a clothesline that takes her off her feet!]
KURASAWA:
[In Japanese.] What
the hell?!
SAKURAI:
[In Japanese.] Now
she's beating the snot out of her with those mount punches!
[Throne pulls
Trista up by the air... SITOUT POWERBOMB! She gets up and calls for a
microphone from one of the dojo students at ringside.]
THORNE: I
have found a new way! I have opened my eyes, Trista! True darkness
will engulf the world of professional wrestling, and I will embrace
it! I will embrace... NARAKU NO SOKO!
KURASAWA:
[In Japanese.] What?!
SAKURAI:
[In Japanese.] She
turned on her mentor to join KANNON! Naraku no Soko continues to get
stronger!
Singles Grudge Match
Ricky Holt vs. Ronnie Doyle
KURASAWA: “The
General” Ricky Holt has enjoyed an impressive rookie year. Riddick
has hailed him as the most violent newcomer since his own rookie
year. Now as one-half of the IJPW World Tag Team Champions, Holt goes
into the Tokyo Dome on Saturday with Teiji The Terror as his partner.
They take on the Doyle Brothers. As we saw, Teiji defeated Ricky
Doyle earlier in the show. Holt and Ronnie Doyle actually have a
history. Ricky trained at the IJPW Dojo last year during the Japanese
tour of the American promotion he's contracted to. It was there where
he had a match behind closed doors with Ronnie and beat him despite
being busted open from the Belfast brawler's brutal strikes. This was
the first time these two men fight in a singles match in front of a
live audience. Kanzaburo Outakara was the official for this match.
BACK IN THE STUDIO
KURASAWA: You've
known Ricky your whole life. Where
does he go from here?
O'FLAHERTY: He's
no stranger to fighting. He knows there are times where you just get
knocked the fuck out. It happens to everyone in this business. Ricky
hung in there considering he blocked most of Ronnie's bombs with his
face.
KURASAWA: How
will this affect him going into the Tokyo Dome on Saturday?
O'FLAHERTY: It's
pissed him off. It's motivated him. He's a champion for a reason.
This will just spur him on. He also has Teiji Shintaro in his corner.
I'm taking my guys in the Ultraviolence Union to retain the World Tag
Team Championship. Ronnie can whoop it up all night because he
knocked Ricky out, but we're taking about a man who, back in New
York, put one former World Champion in a coma and broken the leg of
another in his rookie year. He's craving violence and retribution.
The belts are staying with us. Trust me.
*** MAIN EVENT ***
Six Person Tag Team Grudge Match
Ultraviolence Union (Riddick and Jun Hageshii) and Curt Fleischer vs.
Noble Power (Nobuyoki Katsushika and Sakura Shizuka) and Suda Tsukasa
KURASAWA: It
was the Ultraviolence Union who won the Eight Person Tag Team Match
on Sunday when Riddick made El Loco tap out to the figure four
leglock. The World Crown holder hoped to get one last win after his
impressive run-up to the Tokyo Dome showdown with Nobuyoki Katsushika
for the IJPW World Wrestling Championship. His Union partner, Jun
Hageshii, looked to hurt Katsushika's girlfriend, Sakura Shizuka,
before his match with her on Night Three. Then there's the
musclebound bundle of rage that is Curt Fleischer, who has targeted a
national hero in Suda Tsukasa. Tsukasa happens to be a friend of
Katsushika's, and Fleischer is fuming after being pinned twice by
Katsushika. So he wants to take it out on Tsukasa and put an end to a
long and storied career. The referee for this match was Nene
Hishikawa.
WRAP-UP
KURASAWA: It's
Katsushika who goes into the Tokyo Dome with a win! It's the third
time he's pinned Fleischer since the Grand Opening in March. It looks
simple, but that kick to the stomach he does when the opponent comes
off the ropes crushes their insides and knocks the air right out of
them. What was Riddick thinking we he saw that?
O'FLAHERTY: It's
going to take more than a fucking kick to put down Riddick.
KURASAWA: That
wasn't just any other kick though. Katsushika has won a lot in his
career with that boot to the guts. It doesn't look like much, but
people have thrown up in the locker room after taking it. Now Riddick
has fought many people in his career. Has he ever been in the ring
with someone as big and strong as Katsushika?
O'FLAHERTY:
You've called over 90% of the
matches in his career. Shouldn't you know?
KURASAWA: I
don't think he's ever been in there with a giant like the current
IJPW World Wrestling Champion. It hasn't been the best night for the
Ultraviolence Union. You guys went 1-2 tonight.
O'FLAHERTY:
You're gonna count that last
one as a loss? Fleischer got pinned and he's not with us. Now he's
going to be even more furious and kill Tsukasa at the Tokyo Dome.
KURASAWA:
International Incident –
Night Three will see us return to the Tokyo Dome after being there as
recently as May 30 – World Crown - Night Ten. Maybe Riddick will
have an advantage in returning to the scene where he won the World
Crown and officially got his career back on track as a main event
star? Here's what the card looks like for Saturday:
Eight Person Tag Team Match
Japan vs. The World
DanHojo (Danjuro Komatsuzaki and
Ryuichi Hojo), Sun Demon, and Killer Komukai vs. Nate Narwin
(Canada), Markie Bristow (England), John Scroggs (United States), and
Raul El Aguila (Mexico)
Singles Grudge Match
Trista Capra vs. Ashley Thorne
Tag Team Grudge Match
Dave Manton and Stan Ward vs. Imperial
(AKIO and Kuni Hishida)
IJPW Television Championship
Fujimaro Odaka vs. (c) Lainey Boyle
Singles Grudge Match
Jun Hageshii vs. Sakura Shizuka
Singles Grudge Match
Mallory Northway vs. Mercy Monroe
Six Person Tag Team Match
Naraku no Soko (KANNON, Akuma Usami,
and Vera Vicious) vs. Isamu Shinagami and whoever he can get to be
his partner, if anyone
Singles Grudge Match
Curt Fleischer vs. Suda Tsukasa
IJPW World Tag Team Championship
Doyle Brothers (Ricky Doyle and Ronnie
Doyle) vs. (c) Ultraviolence Union (Ricky Holt and Teiji Shintaro)
*** MAIN EVENT ***
IJPW World Wrestling Championship
Riddick vs. (c) Nobuyoki Katsushika
O'FLAHERTY:
That's a hell of a card.
KURASAWA: Do
you have any last thoughts?
O'FLAHERTY:
Shizuka's leaving in a body bag
thanks to Hageshii. The tag straps are staying with us. Riddick's
leaving with the World title on one shoulder and the World Crown on
the other. With his girlfriend put in the ground and without a title
belt to hold, Kat-shit-hika will be banging his blow-up doll into the
morning hours.
KURASAWA: I
don't know how you can be so confident that your guys will pull
through.
O'FLAHERTY:
Balls of the table, Yo. That's
where we're at right now.
KURASAWA: Any
thoughts on the matches that don't involve the Union?
O'FLAHERTY:
Other than Fleischer tearing
apart Tsukasa? I don't have strong opinions on most of them. I think
Trista will get her revenge on Thorne. Shinagami won't find a partner
and he'll get sacrificed to the devil or some shit by Naraku no Soko.
Odaka will take the TV title off Boyle. I don't have strong opinions
about any of the other matches. That doesn't mean they aren't
important. It's going to be a great show. I respect you, booker man.
KURASAWA:
Thanks. That does it for us at
the Saitama Super Arena. Join us for International Incident – Night
Three at the Tokyo Dome on Saturday! For Eric O'Flaherty, I'm Yo
Kurasawa. Good night from Saitama!
[FADE TO
BLACK.]
