[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
highlights show for Iron Japan Pro Wrestling's Violent Conduct 2016!
I'm Yo Kurasawa. This was the first of two critical nights at Budokan
Hall. The IJPW World Tag Team Championship was defended in the main
event against the Team Crown winners, who earned their shot by
winning that tournament last month. We had a few grudge matches on
the card and a rematch for the IJPW Television Championship. Joining
me on this highlights show is Pro Wrestling's Rogue Manager and
Ultraviolence Union founder, Eric O'Flaherty.
O'FLAHERTY:
Let's get to these fucking
matches, shall we?
KURASAWA:
O'Flaherty isn't working by the
hour tonight!
Eight Person Tag Team
Match
Japan vs. Mexico
Sun Demon, Killer Komukai, and Tokyo Queens (Tae Muraguchi and Kayoko
Komon) vs. Los Asesinos (Raul La Escopeta, Roberto Lopez, and Selena
Martinez) and El Loco
KURASAWA: El
Loco faces Ricky Holt tomorrow in a grudge match that has been in the
making since January. Tonight, he teamed up with his fellow Mexicans,
including the recently renamed and refocusing Raul La Escopeta, who
trained at the Loco Combat Club in Brooklyn.
O'FLAHERTY: He
also teamed with that goober Roberto Lopez, who looks ridiculous
while wearing Sawa's mask. Then there's Selena Martinez. I'll give
her credit for hanging in an IJPW ring, but that's as much credit as
I'll give her.
KURASAWA: Team
Mexico took on a more thrown-together side representing Japan. Sun
Demon and Killer Komuki have badly looked for anything that can turn
their luck around in IJPW. Both men are capable of doing much better.
They teamed with the Tokyo Queens – an unlikely pairing who could
grow to become more of a presence in the tag team division. Which
team made their country proud? Team Japan or Team Mexico? Toyoko
Toshikura was the referee for this match.
Tag Team Grudge Match
Charm Explosion (Muffin Vanderburg and Nicki Scherer) vs. Lolly Lea
and Lorie Koenig
KURASAWA:
Lolly, Lainey, and Lorie –
The Deadly Three from America's women's indie scene – focused in on
Muffin Vanderburg when Nicki Scherer was out with a broken arm, and
hoped to take her and prevent Charm Explosion from entering the Team
Crown Tournament. Muffin weathered the storm, Scherer recovered, and
Charm Explosion competed in the tournament. But they didn't forget
about what The Deadly Three tried to do! They were looking for
revenge against Lolly and Lorie in tag team action tonight. Kanzaburo
Outakara was the official for this match.
Singles Grudge Match
Big Ugly vs. J Murda
KURASAWA:
Big Ugly found himself without
a tag team partner when Freddy Deeds got his neck broken during the
World Crown Tournament. He quickly found a tag team partner in J
Murda, who grew up in the same area of Detroit as him and Freddy.
They were willing to put a complicated past behind them and work
together in the Team Crown Tournament last month. It all fell apart
when Big Ugly tapped out in the first round and J Murda flipped! The
two fought the next night at the Tokyo Dome, where Big Ugly got the
win. Tempers haven't settled though, and these two hardcore brawlers
fought once again! The referee for this match was Mabuchi Hida.
Six-Person Tag Team
Match
Japan vs. The World
Warrior Syndicate (Danjuro Komatsuzaki, Ryuichi Hojo and Hirano
Denbe) vs. Markie Bristow, Dave Manton, and Stan Ward
KURASAWA:
IJPW Dojo Master, Danjuo
Komatsuzaki, will take on Markie Bristow tomorrow in a match that
both men have agreed to call a feud ender. Tonight, the newly-formed
Warrior Syndicate, spear-headed by Danjuro's nationalistic fervor
that started this whole rivalry, took on a team of gaijins from all
around the world. Markie Bristow comes from Manchester, England. Dave
Manton is from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Stan Ward is from Bandera, Texas.
Manton and Ward wouldn't normally side with Bristow, but they don't
appreciate Danjuro trashing gaijins.
O'FLAHERTY:
Danjuro is an absolute cunt. I
can't believe this man is the IJPW Dojo Master. He might be a good
trainer and know a lot about wrestling, but what a shit head.
KURASAWA:
The referee for this match was
Nanako Fujioka.
Singles Grudge Match
Date Night Fallout
AKIO vs. Fabulous Adrian Bagglio
KURASAWA:
Fabulous Adrian Bagglio has
found himself to be one of the most controversial figures in
wrestling in these last few months. He aspired to take out AKIO's
longtime girlfriend and tag partner, Kuni Hishida, at World Crown in
hopes of getting AKIO all to himself... in the bedroom. He infamously
forced himself on Hishida in his first match with her during World
Crown, and refused to go away, even after she beat him on Night Ten
at the Tokyo Dome. FAB stalked the couple from the shadows for a
month before striking at International Incident – Night Three,
where FAB broke Hishida's ankle by sticking it in a chair and jumping
on it from the top rope. Last month at Team Crown, AKIO and FAB
fought in a match that Bagglio only agreed to because of the added
stipulation. AKIO had to go out on a date with FAB if he lost, and he
did. The date night didn't go over so well a week later, as you saw
live-streamed on the IJPW Network. AKIO snapped after FAB's
disturbing advances and beat him up at the restaurant. Tonight was
the date night fallout!
O'FLAHERTY:
And to be honest, we never said
this would be a classy puroresu show... I'm just glad this isn't
1996. People would use FAB to represent an entire group of oppressed
people. But nope. It's 2016 and everyone knows this guy is just
fucked in the head. He preys on everyone. We don't even know his
actual sexuality, if he even has one, or if he just gets off on
making people uncomfortable.
KURASAWA:
Cassidy Reischer was the
referee for this bout.
Eight-Person Tag Team
Match
Naraku
no Soko (KANNON, Akuma Usami, Vera Vicious, and Ashley Thorne) vs.
Trista Capra, Astro Honami, HATOYAMA, and Miyazaki Bokkai
KURASAWA:
Naraku no Soko represented very
well during the Team Crown Tournament. Both teams made the
semi-finals, and even though both fell to Noble Power, they proved to
be a threat here in Iron Japan Pro Wrestling. With Isamu Shinagami
away in the United States, it looked as if they only had Trista Capra
gunning for them as she seeks revenge against former partner Ashley
Thorne. But the Original Deathmatch Queen found three other people
who don't like Naraku no Soko, and teamed with them tonight before
taking on Ashley Thorne tomorrow night. The referee for this match
was Masanori Katayanagi.
IJPW Television
Championship
Lainey Boyle vs. (c) Albert Dixon
KURASAWA:
Albert Dixon has become one of
the most hated men in Japan after his racist and disparaging comments
towards our people. He's insulted us in the ring and on the internet.
He was a well-known bigot even before he came to Iron Japan Pro
Wrestling. The former Arkansas cop and college football offensive
lineman defeated Lainey Boyle for the IJPW Television Championship
last month at Team Crown, but “The Boston Bitch” has proven to be
one of the fiercest competitors in Iron Japan. She might be small,
but she literally packs a dangerous punch. She invoked her rematch
clause for night, and there were many people behind her tonight.
Dixon was determined not to lose to what he called a “damn woman
who should be pregnant and barefoot in the kitchen.” Nanako Fujioka
was the referee for this match.
POST-MATCH
HIGHLIGHTS
[Albert
Dixon celebrates his victory by holding the IJPW Television
Championship over his head. He walks over to one side of the ring and
berates the ringside fans, points to his title belt, and reminds them
that he's the champ with a few spit-spewing insults. The mood changes
when Suda Tsukasa's music hits! Dixon is furious! The aging King of
Korakuen Hall walks down the aisle at Budokan Hall with a passionate
fire in his eyes. He grabs a microphone and gets in the ring.]
TSUKASA:
[In Japanese.] I
cannot sit back and watch you continue to insult my people! You are a
disgrace to the IJPW Television Championship! That belt deserves a
champion with grace and dignity! Not a scumbag who lives with hatred
and ignorance! Albert Dixon! I challenge you to a match! I want to
fight you for the Television Championship back here tomorrow night!
[Dixon
doesn't understand any of that. He walks over to the side of the ring
where Yo Kurasawa and “Samurai X” Misao Sakurai are sitting at
the announce table. He gets a microphone from a dojo student.]
DIXON:
Hey! You two! You guys speak
English, right?!
KURASAWA:
Yeah, we both do!
DIXON:
Then what the hell did this
little bastard say to me?!
KURASAWA:
[Takes off his headset and
picks up a microphone.] He
challenged you to a title match tomorrow night!
DIXON:
The hell?! It ain't happenin'!
I got a damn plane to catch. I came out here and defended my belt.
Now I gotta go back to 'Murica and get the fuck out of this country.
I hate this damn place!
KURASAWA:
You can't get on that plane!
DIXON:
Why the hell not?! This place
stinks! The food sucks! The women are ugly! I gotta get outta here as
soon as possible!
KURASAWA:
Because you're the Television
Champion! That belt is supposed to be defended regularly! It's
supposed to be defended on nearly every show!
DIXON:
Yeah, and I defended it
tonight! I ain't gonna accept this little bastard's challenge!
KURASAWA:
You don't have a choice! As the
head booker, I'm putting you in that match tomorrow night! You will
defend the IJPW Television Championship against Suda Tsukasa!
[Dixon
flips! What he doesn't know is that Tsukasa is measuring him up from
behind. Dixon turns around and is knocked down by a jumping high kick
to the head! He drops the belt and rolls out of the ring. Dixon
reaches back in and grabs the belt, but not without taking a few
stomps! Dixon furiously storms out as Tsukasa plays to the chanting
crowd! He climbs up onto the middle turnbuckle, stares a hole through
Dixon, then looks around. He passionately beats his right fist over
his heart and pumps it in the air.][/i]
CROWD:
TSU-KA-SA! TSU-KA-SA!
TSU-KA-SA! TSU-KA-SA!
Eight-Person Tag Team
Match
Doyle Brothers (Ricky Doyle and Ronnie Doyle) and Mallory and Mercy
(Mallory Northway and Mercy Monroe) vs. John Scroggs, Curt Fleischer,
Nate Narwin, and Paul Cannon
KURASAWA:
John Scroggs and Ronnie Doyle
will challenge for Nobuyoki Katsushika's IJPW World Wrestling
Championship tomorrow night in a triple threat match. Both men had a
chance to get the first shot tonight in this eight-person tag team
match. The Hollywood star power of Mallory and Mercy teamed with the
Doyle Brothers and their brand of Belfast grit. Scroggs' crew
consisted of guys who he normally hangs out with in the locker room –
the angry mountain of muscle that is Curt Fleischer, the drugged and
drunk Nate Narwin, and “The Hardcore Lumberjack” Paul Cannon.
Jimmy Erikson was the referee, making for an all-gaijin affair in
this match.
Singles Match
Ultraviolence Union
Test Match
Riddick vs. Jun Hageshii
KURASAWA: These
two men... Well, Eric, since you're the Ultraviolence Union
manager...
O'FLAHERTY: I
recruited Jun Hageshii into the stable because he was known as a
rising star and potential future World Champion with a lust for
blood. He's different from the other members of the group in that he
prefers torturing his opponents with submission holds. The others can
do that too, but it's Jun's specialty. So Ricky and Teiji were
already a team. We brought in Jun to partner up with Riddick and help
Riddick go for a Double Crown, since, ya know... Riddick won World
Crown. Thing is that Jun tapped out to Ricky in the first round of
the Team Crown last month and Riddick was pissed. So Riddick
challenged him to this match. This was a Test Match for Jun. He
needed to prove himself to the greatest gaijin in puroresu history.
Not any easy task for the young lad.
KURASAWA: Riddick's
a hard man to please! I've known him since 2002, so I know from
experience. Kuni Ariwara was the referee for this match.
POST-MATCH HIGHLIGHTS
[Jun is
breathing hard as Riddick shows him the middle finger once again
before kicking a leg out from under him. Riddick drags Jun back over
the barbed wire bat...]
KURASAWA: [In
Japanese.] Riddick's put
the figure four back on Jun, and both men are once again sitting on
the barbed wire baseball bat!
SAKURAI: [In
Japanese.] What's the
point of doing this?! What's going through Riddick's mind? Why sit on
the barbed wire bat like that?
KURASAWA:
[In Japanese.] It
can't be pleasant for their ass and crotch right now. I think this
some weird way for Riddick to show Jun how to endure pain. I don't
know. It's weird.
[Riddick lets
go of the figure four, goes over to the ropes, and grabs a
microphone. Jun is pulling the barbed wire out of the crotch area of
his tights. Riddick stands over him and leans in.]
RIDDICK: Other
than the figure four leg lock, I was feeling the same shit you
felt... and you tapped. Again. I'd beat that stupid fucking mohawk
off your head right now if we weren't teaming up tomorrow. If
O'Flaherty didn't insist on you being in the Union, I'd take that
barbed wire down there and wrap it around your neck for wasting my
fucking time! You're the one who cost me a Double Crown! You got
hardcore tonight, and we both bled... but
you quit. Again. I'll
tell you what's gonna happen... I'm gonna make something out of you.
One way another, I'm gonna make you into something... Because you're
a talented wrestler and you can get violent. But compared to the true
hardcore icons? Compared to a man like me? Compared to someone like
Teiji Shintaro? You're nowhere fucking close. You'll probably never
be at our level of toughness, but I'm going to try and get you there.
You have no other option but to fucking take it and get pushed to
your limits, because if you don't, Jun... oh, I'll still turn you
into something, but not what you want. You'll be remembered more as
just another victim in my career. If you don't have it in you to take
what I'm gonna throw at you, Jun... you're
gonna fucking die.
[Riddick throws
the microphone down on Jun and walks away, leaving the young star
broken and disappointed, but determined to rebuild.]
*** MAIN EVENT ***
IJPW World Tag Team
Championship
Noble Power (Nobuyoki Katsushika and Sakura Shizuka) vs. (c)
Ultraviolence Union (Ricky Holt and Teiji Shintaro)
KURASAWA:
It's been an eventful month for
“The General” Ricky Holt and Teiji “The Terror” Shintaro,
hasn't it?
O'FLAHERTY:
And not in a good way. The
Ultraviolence Union signed with a promotion out in Las Vegas. In the
last month, Ricky's been pinned by two guys who aren't as good –
one in a singles match and another when he teamed with Riddick. Then
Teiji got released from the promotion for, and I shit you not, for
being “too hardcore.” I have the letter they sent me for the
official release. They described him as “on another level.” But
we have him right here in Iron Japan Pro Wrestling – a real
promotion. He's the most dangerous man in professional wrestling, and
you don't see IJPW wrestlers accepting excuses from these soft
wrestlers who can't stand that there's a violent force in this world
that far surpasses them.
KURASAWA:
Ricky and Teiji have grudge
matches tomorrow night. Holt vs. El Loco and Shintaro vs. Jona
Ziesemer. But tonight, they had to defend the IJPW World Tag Team
Championship against Noble Power – who earned this opportunity
after winning the Team Crown Tournament. Nobuyoki Katsushika came
into this weekend with two belts – the World title belt and a Team
Crown belt. Everyone knew there was a good chance he could leave with
three belts by the end of Night One. The crowd was heavily behind him
and his girlfriend, Sakura Shizuka. Nene Hishikawa was the referee
for this match.
BACK
IN THE STUDIO...
KURASAWA:
What are your thoughts on the
outcome of tonight's main event?
O'FLAHERTY:
This has been a really shit
month for the Ultraviolence Union. August has been incredibly
frustrating. Now we don't have the World Tag Team titles. Seriously,
what a fucking lousy month. And we lose it to fucking Noble Power of
all people. Don't get me wrong, that's a damn good team. But fucking
Katsushika is walking around with three belts!
KURASAWA:
This is the card for tomorrow
night, from first match to last on the screen. Take a look, Eric, and
give me your initial thoughts...

IJPW World Wrestling

Triple Threat Match
John Scroggs vs. Ronnie
Doyle vs. (c) Nobuyoki Katsushika
O'FLAHERTY:
Naraku no Soko feature in the
first three matches. They're going to sweep. I'm a Trista Capra fan,
but I think Thorne beats her again.
KURASAWA:
Do you think Trista will be
brushed aside? We don't know when Shinagami will come back from the
United States and continue his fight against Naraku no Soko. It looks
like Trista might have to fight the war with what she has.
O'FLAHERTY:
And she finds these people who
hate Naraku no Soko too, but they don't seem very dedicated. And how
fucking dedicated can Shinagami be to fighting them? He had the match
against them at International Incident – Night Three and just
fucked off to America afterward.
KURASAWA:
Well, he did have those
commitments set before he even started the fight against them.
O'FLAHERTY:
I don't know... We know he's
supposed to come back soon. Anyway... Dixon will beat Tsukasa. Don't
let all the shit after the match fool you. Dixon's a big bad man and
he'll successfully defend his belt. Bristow will defeat Danjuro
to end the feud. Riddick, Jun, and Big Ugly will win that six-man tag
match. Ricky's beating El Loco. I don't care how amped Loco gets for
it. Ricky's shit month will inspire him to get the victory. Narwin's
side wins the six-person tag team match, and then Teiji Shintaro...
KURASAWA:
Your guy...
O'FLAHERTY:
Oh yeah. Ziesemer comes back
after Teiji stabbed him in the throat with a fork back in May during
World Crown. Ziesemer wants to “face the monster,” and he'll get
the fucking monster. He may have beaten the monster during the World
Crown Tournament, but tomorrow night will be a different result.
Teiji The Terror will come out on top, and Jona will wish he never
returned to the ring.
KURASAWA:
What's your prediction for the
main event?
O'FLAHERTY:
Before tonight, I kept saying
that Katsushika is an idiot for setting up this triple threat match.
He didn't have to do it. He could lose his title without being
pinned, submitted, or knocked out... But this guy is on a different
level right now. He's only suffered two bumps in the road up to this
point – being knocked out by Ronnie Doyle in the World Tag Team
Championship tournament and losing to John Scoggs in the World Crown
Tournament. Maybe Doyle knocks him or Scroggs out tomorrow? Doyle is
a dominating presence in that ring, but Katsushika looks like he
could kick it into gear and leave this building tomorrow with three
belts – the IJPW World Wrestling Championship, the IJPW World Tag
Team Championship, and the IJPW Team Crown belt.
KURASAWA:
You don't think Scroggs could
win it tomorrow?
O'FLAHERTY:
The only way Katsushika doesn't
leave with the strap tomorrow is if Ronnie Doyle hits someone with a
knockout blow.
KURASAWA:
All of this is going down
tomorrow night. It's Night Two of Violent Conduct 2016! Back here at
Budokan Hall! That does it for us tonight. For Eric O'Flaherty, I'm
Yo Kurasawa. Good night from Tokyo!
[FADE
TO BLACK.]
