MATCH ONE

EXODUS DIVISION

SIX MAN ELIMINATION TAG TEAM MATCH

Takashi Shinobu, Asuka Yoshiro & KOJIMA  vs. Giovanni Moriello, Joey Edwards & Vincent Van Hendriks

James Peterson announced that New Japan Fighting Championship would be making a trio's tag team championship which would come into full tuition later on this calender year. This tag team division will be known as the "EXODUS" division and each match will be an elimination based tag team match. At Stardom we get to see the debut of three new NJFC superstars as well as the return of two. Making their debut's on one team are the team formally known as "The Rebellion" led by veteran wrestler who has just come out of retirement, Joey Edwards - former XWA Hardcore Champion and multiple time champion under the bebo wrestling network banner. His team of misfits include Giovanni Moriello who was last seen competing at Glory For Puroresu, and Vincent Van Hendriks who was last seen at Xtreme Wrestling Alliance. They'll be taking on the team of NJFC originals; Takashi Shinobu, who is a former JFC Heavyweight Champion (during the last cycle of NJFC back in 09) as well as being a triple crown champ. Accompanying him are the familiar pairing of Asuka Yoshiro and KOJIMA who were the last pair to hold tag team gold here in NJFC during the 2009 cycle. 

MATCH TWO

THE DEBUT OF TWO

SINGLES MATCH

Josh Garth vs. Talon Miles

Garth was a labeled as 'weird' as a child , hanging out with the wrestling geeks. He became so in love with wrestling he decided to start training at Saint Mary's Academy, later being kicked out for holding in an submission for too long, he found a way to convince his family into moving on a different continent. At Stardom I, Josh Garth will make his professional debut taking on the self proclaimed "Miracle", Talon Miles. Growing up a fan of professional wrestling, he trained with the best in the world under the tool-age of Montana with Montana Championship Wrestling. He is looking to make a name for himself right here in New Japan Fighting Championship. Both of these Junior Heavyweights will be looking to impress on their debuts, with their eyes on contention for the title in future shows, could the winner of this match soon find himself with a title shot?

MATCH THREE

STEPPING UP A GEAR

SINGLES MATCH

Dylan Knight vs. Jason Hunter

Both Jason Hunter and Dylan Knight impressed fans in London England at Global Takeover, with Dylan Knight being the man to eliminate the most superstars in the battle royal whilst Jason Hunter displayed glimpses of the superstar he is destined to be. Both young, hungry and wanting to elavate, this match here at Stardom is pivotal for these two Junior Heavyweights; who of course want to get into the title picture, but should also be thinking about challenging for the Global Championship, as both men showed that they're capable of being up their with the best of the Heavyweight division. 

MATCH FOUR

GPC FIGHTING JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

HARDCORE MATCH

Tara Davidson (c) vs. King Flip

The Queen of NJFC maybe the new GPC Fighting Junior Hvy Champ but the possession of the championship belt is still with the King, who alongside Nurse Kinsley at Global Takeover; took both the Junior Heavyweight title and the Global title. This didn't sit well with the new champion who charged into the head offices and demanded that King Flip would be suspended from duty as well his home raided so that the championship belt could be in her possession. The head offices found the proposal from Tara a little outrageous and instead, suggested that Nurse Kinsley would be banned from interfering in the match; if she does, the contract of both superstars being ripped to shreds. As well as this, if King Flip attempts to repeat this stunt; that will also see his contract terminated. With tensions high and a lot on the line, these two fierce rivals will collide at the biggest stage of them all; STARDOM I, for the GPC Fighting Junior Heavyweight Championship!

MATCH FIVE

JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT SHOWCASE

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH

Bronx Valescence vs. Luke Wolfe vs. Ryan Kidd

This match has the potential to be a main event match in the next coming months. Three of wrestlings juggernauts collide in the ring for the very first time with the controversial Bronx Valescence making his debut. Saying that Bronx is a well known name within the wrestling industry would be an understatement. The NGW Unified Heavyweight champion rose to stardom during his time at Galveston Island Wrestling and hasn't stopped rising as he's continued to spread his name across the globe, over at Four Corners Wrestling, Anazac Pro Wrestling, New Generation Wrestling but now, he's come to Japan! Luke Wolfe needs no introduction to the EWC Universe and NJFC native audience. Currently competing within the EWC; Luke Wolfe is one of the most talented wrestlers of his generation, as well as being a well equipped martial arts fighter, a former UFW Heavyweight Champion during his cage fighting years. And then there's Mister Ryan Kidd; the former Second City Wrestling (now known as REDEFINE wrestling) World Heavyweight Champion, former UWL Junior Heavyweight Champion as well as UWL International Champion. He dominated during his time in the United Wrestling League, being one of the most decorated wrestlers within the league. He made a name for himself in Frontier Grappling Arts; the place where it all began for the young Ryan Kidd, who continued to rise to prominence up to this day. After a long sabbatical, Ryan Kidd makes his return to the four sided ring and will sure need to rub off any ring rust if he has any, because his opponents are two of the best. 

MATCH SIX

HEAVYWEIGHT SHOWCASE

SINGLES MATCH

Hiroyoshi Suzuki vs. Rick O'Shea

Rick O'Shea was unlucky at Global Takeover when he stepped into the ring with the deity of devastation, Eric Darkthorne, in a back and forth contest where Darkthorne was the victory. O'Shea will be looking to get a win under his belt and he'll be facing a man who isn't enjoying his time in New Japan Fighting Championship at all, Hiroyoshi Suzuki. Suzuki made it clear that he believes "his" company is being sabotaged, claiming that James Peterson is trying to exclude native Japanese stars; and that NJFC will soon turn into an American corporation instead of the Japanese wrestling promotion that it should be.  Suzuki and O'Shea are two heavyweights who have something to prove and this match between the two, promises to be an intriguing one. 

MATCH SEVEN

HEAVYWEIGHT SHOWCASE

SINGLES MATCH

Eric Darkthorne vs. Ronin

Eric Darkthorne managed to contradict a lot of expectations and come out with the win against Rick O'Shea at Global Takeover, an impressive win, to say the least. Darkthorne has already been hyped up by James Peterson who was impressed by the showing of both O'Shea and Darkthorne but particularly Darkthorne, he even said that he see's Darkthorne challenging for the World title in the coming months. Darkthorne has a chance to solidify his status in NJFC as he take son newcomer Ronin. Ronin was raised in a very traditional family His father had been a wrestler and promoter for a short time before starting a family. He taught Ronin about tradition and showed him how wrestling use to be. Growing up there was nothing else he wanted to be and he started studying Judo and mixed martial arts at the age of 12. After graduating he attended Nippon Sport Science University and from there he started working the independent promotions across Japan and even traveling to Mexico, which is where he learned a lot of the high flying techniques he uses today. Ready for his shot at the Big Leagues he has accepted a position with NJFC and EWC. 

MATCH EIGHT

NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS FOR GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH

Kurt Newman vs. Shelley Silver vs. Olivia Saint

At Global Takeover, Kurt Newman made his shocking return to wrestling and ambushed Johnny Bonecrusher and Stefan Raab, viciously assaulting them before grabbing the Global title and raising it high above his head to the boo's of the fans. Kurt Newman has since said that the championship should be in his possession as his match at Rising Sun Revolution didn't have a definitive end and the title was vacated, but he claims the title should have been given to him afterwards. Shelley Silver and Olivia Saint managed to pick up a win at Global Takeover but as a duo but now, they're going to be facing one another for a chance at competing for the NJFC Global title at Retribution. Newman, Silver and Saint are all desperate to make an instant impact in NJFC and this is a chance of making that impact.

MATCH NINE

BATTLE OF BROTHERS III

SINGLES MATCH

Owen Daniels vs. Storm

It was supposed to happen at Global Takeover but it didn't. But at Stardom it has been confirmed that these two will be there and will square off for a third and possibly final time at the biggest stage of them all! STARDOM I! One of the most fierce rivalries between two siblings is all coming to an end at STARDOM, both superstars are quoted to have said this will be the match to end all; the decider, between the two brothers who have turmoil dating back to their childhood. The two have reconciled since then and there are even rumors that a alliance between the two may form somewhere down the line. 

MATCH 10

NJFC GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP

LADDERS MATCH

Johnny Bonecrusher (c)  vs. Stefan Raab

At Global Takeover Johnny Bonecrusher was the victorious one in the invitational battle royal main event, managing to eliminate Nurse Kinsley. Bonecrushers title however was stolen by Nurse Kinsley who's rumored to be present at Stardom to hand the title back to Bonecrusher. Stefan Raab's journey to the Global title started back at Rising Sun Revolution when he took on three other opponents and managed to defeat them all to earn his spot at a championship match at Stardom. He wasn't able to secure the win against Jace at Global Takeover but that won't stop the hunger or the motivation levels of the 49 year old German wrestler. These two are both veterans in terms of experience and when they collide as Global Takeover, it promises to be a match of skill and back and forth action. 

MAIN EVENT

GPC WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

SINGLES MATCH

Jason P Davidson vs. John Pariah

FINALLY! At Stardom we are going to crown our first ever GPC World Heavyweight champion and it's between the two who reached the finals of the Collision Course tournament last year, in one of the most epic matches in NJFC history; one of the most watched matches on EWC.TV. Jason P Davidson has been unstoppable. No one has literally been able to stop Jason P Davidson who has won every single match he has competed in during his time here in NJFC. The closest to stopping him was undoubtedly John Pariah who has since then been on a war path in the wrestling industry, taking his talent over to Boardwalk Wrestling and making an instant impact over there with consecutive wins. John Pariah was at Global Takeover when James Peterson announced that there wasn't another number one contender for the title. Pariah came out and asked for one more match against Jason P Davidson, a match that was so illusive and mesmerizing last time round. This one promises to be a five out of five match in rating, promises to be an epic encounter with Jason P Davidson as the favorite but you should never write off John Pariah. Especially with his recent form, he's looking to contradict the expectations!

[James Peterson]

The adventure started at Stairway to Stardom. The reopening of the once great New Japan Fighting Championship under a near leader, a new front man to guide the once great promotion back to the top of the wrestling business. His name; is James Peterson, and he made it very clear from the beginning, that he only has one goal, he only has one mission, to make New Japan Fighting Championship the best again. A company illustrious in history in search of a new wave of talent, a new frontier of wrestlers to emerge onto the scene in the wrestling capital of the world, the home of puroresu. Stairway to Stardom was successful. With matches that captured the eyes of many and a roster illustrious in name, but the stand out name of the Stairway to Stardom event would be that of REINA Reiko. From Yokohama, Kanagawa, Japan, standing 5'2 and weighing in a 117 pounds, REINA won the first ever Stairway to Stardom match; a junior heavyweight winning an opportunity to main event at Stardom for the prestigious GPC Heavyweight Championship.




Collision Course would be the next step; the next event also live from the Tokyo Dome, and undoubtedly, the most popular event NJFC have held thus far. Collision Course was the most watched event on EWC.TV and garnered a lot of attention due to the high profile matches, the twist and turns, the ups and downs, the blood; sweat and tears - it was a night that will forever be remember in NJFC's history. A tournament to crown a contender to take on the winner of the Stairway to Stardom match at STARDOM I, competing for the vacant GPC Heavyweight title. The biggest names in wrestling competing in said tournament to book their shot at Stardom; Hiroyoshi Suzuki, Al Envy, The Fear, Jack Tillman, Jon Kellar, John Pariah, Jason P Davidson, and Patrick Gordon Junior. But only one could prevail; and the two that made it to the finals didn't ease their way to the final, they had to work hard. They had to fight hard, they had to be the best and that's exactly what John Pariah and Jace Davidson did. These two met in the main event with Jason Parker Davidson being victorious on the night.



And the two meet again, tonight at Stardom. REINA Reiko decided not to renew her contract with NJFC, leaving the company with a position for the main event at Stardom I in place. There was only one competitor worthy enough to fill the boots, only one competitor honest enough to come out and tell James Peterson that he deserves it more than anybody else in the back, and that man is John Pariah. The finals of the Collision Course tournament on display again, but the stakes are higher; the most prestigious title in the promotion is on the line!

STARDOM I
Brought to you by Sony, Under Armour and Dr Pepper

Exclusive to EWC.TV

Under the new ownership and resurrection of NJFC, the history of Stardom has almost been eradicated as James Peterson attempts to renovate the federation completely, an unpopular choice. Thus being the reason why this Stardom has been marked as Stardom I, being the first Stardom event held whilst Peterson has been in management and ownership. It is the biggest event of the year and the most anticipated; to NJFC, Stardom compares to what the World Cup means to FIFA, or what the Super Bowl means to the NFL and so on and so forth. Stardom is the show that everyone wants to be apart of, and if you are, you're a lucky wrestler because wrestling inside the Tokyo Dome has become a rarity. This years STARDOM I consists some of the biggest matches on the biggest stage, with a new wave of superstars flooding into the promotion, as well as some old faces resurfacing. With every singles title on the line and an opportunity to climb the ladder in terms of power rankings, everyone will be eager to impress, everyone will be eager to perform, everyone will be eager to reach STARDOM.

We open up with a wide shot of the Tokyo Dome, the camera then begins to pan around the arena following a sea of NJFC fans applauding with their eyes fixated on the stage, as pyrotechnics go off and on the tron highlights of the last few events NJFC have held begin to play, reminding the audience of the pivotal points leading up to the biggest event of the year. The pyrotechnic display comes to an end as well as the highlight on the tron, and confetti begins to fall from the heavens, the colors of red and white covering the entrance ramp whilst the camera continues to pan across the Tokyo Dome, showing a section of hardcore NJFC who aren't natives, waving their banners from left to right. When the highlight finishes the scene then cuts to the ring..

Mai Kado: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WELCOME TO NJFC PRESENTS: STARDOM I LIVE FROM THE TOKYO DOME! Go resseki no minasama, NJFC e yōkoso purezentsu: Sutādamu watashi wa Tōkyō dōmuraivu furomu!

The beautiful Mai Kado is in the center of the ring, with a grin on her face dressed in a red dress with matching heels and the audience are applauding her; she brings the microphone to her side and as she does this the scene then cuts to the commentary table where the familiar Korato Shiozaki, Takao Sato and Nakano Gozen are seated all with smiles plastered on their faces. 

Korato Shiozaki: We're back! Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm Korato Shiozaki and joining me tonight are my usual companions in Takao Sato and Nakano Gozen and we welcome you to the biggest event of the year, STARDOM! The first STARDOM under the new era of New Japan Fighting Championship LIVE from the Tokyo Dome! 

Sato is dressed in a dark blue suit, his hair parted in the middle, he's obviously very happy as his mouth is stretched from ear to ear as he grins, turning towards the camera.

Takao Sato: The biggest stage of them all, the Tokyo Dome, STARDOM is finally here! We've been waiting for this ever since the reopening of NJFC last year, at Stairway to Stardom out first event back - James Peterson spoke about a goal, an aspiration, the idea of bringing NJFC to the top of the wrestling game and tonight, is the night where he solidifies this promotion. We've been going strong, we've been showing glimpses but tonight is the night, it's Stardom baby! 

Dressed in a beautiful dark blue dress, with her hair in a ponytail at the back and her eyes glistening as she turns towards the camera; Nakano nods her head, her grin extending before she engages with the viewers at home watching this live from EWCTV.

Nakano Gozen: Stairway to Stardom was the beginning of the new era and look how far we've come now, we've got a load of new talent debuting tonight, some of the biggest names in professional wrestling emerging into the scene here in Japan, looking to make an impact here like they've been doing over in the States and elsewhere and they've got a big chance, on the big stage that only comes once a year. 

Shiozaki: The debuts of Ryan Kidd, the former REDEFINE World Champion as well as a former NGW Unified Heavyweight Champion in Bronx Valescence, both of those former world champs in the same ring taking on Luke Wolfe later on tonight in watch promises to be the show stealer here in a match that is of main event credentials. 

Sato: Storm versus The Vigilante Owen Daniels, also tonight! Johnny Bonecrusher putting his title on the line against the number one contender in Stefan Raab, the Global title is still missing but I'm getting word that Nurse Kinsley is present here in Tokyo Japan! King Flip gets his title rematch against Tara Davidson, Kurt Newman makes his return to the wrestling ring with a chance for contendership but he's got to go through two of the toughest in Shelley Silver and Olivia Saint!

Gozen: The main event itself speaks volumes, the GPC Heavyweight Championship is on the line, tonight we crown our first champion as the undefeated Jason Parker Davidson takes on John Pariah, both finalist of the Collision Course tournament! Both two of the best in the wrestling industry, both looking to cement their names in this federations history! 

Shiozaki: We kick things off tonight with a six man tag team match! It was announced via twitter that two tag divisions are to emerge here in NJFC, a standard two on two division, and also a three on three division - with the three on three division now being referred as the EXODUS division!

Gozen: That's right! And the every EXODUS tag match will be competed under elimination styled rules, until ultimately one team is left standing. There is no disqualifications, no count outs and most importantly anything goes rules. It's pretty much a division made for carnage and tonight is it's debut. The team of Takashi Shinobu, Asuka Yoshiro and KOJIMA - NJFC originals will be taking on the team known as The Rebellion, their members being Joey Edwards, Vincent Van Hendriks and Giovanni Moriello! 

Sato: Let's get this show on the road!

[James Peterson]

MATCH ONE

EXODUS DIVISION

SIX MAN ELIMINATION TAG TEAM MATCH

Takashi Shinobu, Asuka Yoshiro & KOJIMA  vs. Giovanni Moriello, Joey Edwards & Vincent Van Hendriks

The arena is suddenly engulfed into darkness, misty smoke begins to rise as pyrotechnics goes off from the corners of the arena, emerging from the tunnel is a smug looking Joey Edwards who comes out to a mixed reaction, some cheers and boos echo throughout the arena. Behind him are the other members of "The Rebellion", all dressed in gas masks and black suits, holding the briefcase of Edwards who raises both of his arms up, embracing the love and hatred from the audience. Flowing by 311 booms from the sound system, reverberating in the air as the audience witness Joey Edwards stand tall on the top of the entrance ramp wearing his normal ring attire however with a small leather coat.

Sato: You've got to wonder, what in the hell does Joey Edwards keep in that briefcase?

Gozen: Edwards has been carrying that briefcase for four years and no one will ever know, maybe he'll reveal whats inside during his time in New Japan Fighting Championship.. who knows?

Kado: Introducing first.. from Detroit Michigan, weighing in a two hundred and twenty eight pounds.. he is, The Leader of The Rebellion.. JOEEYYY EDWARDDSSS!

Along the way to close my eyes

I lost where I was going

the more it will spin

the more that I try

Kado: And his partner, from Tampa Flordia.. weighing in a one hundred and eighty two pounds.. GIO MORIELLO!

to stop my mind flowing away, away

to all that I despise

along the way to close my eyes

Kado: And their partner.. from Amsterdam Netherlands.. weighing in a two hundred and seventy five pounds.. VINCENT VAN HENDRIKS! They are the Rebellion!

The camera then follows Van Hendriks.

Shiozaki: Look at the size of that man! He's the size of the three of us put together!

Gozen: According to his teammate Joey Edwards, he is one of the most deadliest wrestlers in the world, and after watching some footage of the guy, I can vouch that. He's big, powerful, technically gifted, he's able to fly like he's in the Junior Heavyweight division, he is the complete wrestler! He belongs here in NJFC and I can't wait to see him do what he does here tonight!

At this point Edwards is already half way down the entrance ramp, high-fiving a few of his adoring fans before storming over to the steel ring steps, entering the ring gracefully immediately launching himself up onto the nearest turnbuckle. He throws his coat towards the audience who scramble for it, he continues embracing the love from the audience as he raising both of his arms up high in the air, the smell of popcorn lingering in the air as he glares down at the NJFC fans, holding their NJFC Merchandise whilst munching on their corndogs and popcorn. He takes off his gas mask, and so do Gio and Van Hendriks - who hoist themselves up onto the closest turnbuckle and pose for the audience.

Shiozaki: This is it, the biggest stage of them all - Edwards may be familiar with the Tokyo Dome but Hendriks and Giovanni aren't. And their opponents, pretty much made their career competing in the Tokyo Dome, in the biggest matches for the top titles during the last tenure.

The lights in the arena dim down again and suddenly "Played-A-Live" by Safri Duov hits the sound system and applause ensues as emerging from the back are Takashi Shinobu, KOJIMA and Asuka Yoshiro who are pleased with their reactions as they stand on the top of the stage. Nodding his head Takashi takes lead and throws his fist in the air as pyrotechnic ensue, the three men then begin to make their way to the ring.

Sato: The originals are here! Takashi, KOJIMA and Asuka Yoshiro getting a huge pop from the fans. It's great to see these three back in NJFC and the crowd are showing their love.

Shiozaki: Three of the most accomplished wrestlers in NJFC. Takashi a former junior heavyweight champion who then won the Stairway to Stardom match back in 07 to book his ticket at STARDOM competing for the NJFC Heavyweight title, a match which he won! Asuka Yoshiro; a former Intercontinental champion as well as World Extreme Champion - he's held the NJFC tag team title with that man too, KOJIMA! A former three time NJFC Heavyweight Champion, a former Intercontinental Champion and also held the World Extreme Championship! The King of Hardcore! Nostalgic memories of the times these three have had in NJFC are running through my mind, bringing a tear to my eyes.

The three men are at the middle of the ramp, high-fiving the audience before they pause outside the ring, looking at their opponents inside the ring who are inviting them in and a stare down commences.

Kado: And their opponents.. of a combined weight of 469 pounds; ASUKA YOSHIRO and KING KOJIMA!

The two raise their fists up in the air but their eyes are still glued to their opponents who are inside the ring, continuing to invite the three men inside.

Kado: And their partner.. from Tagajo, Miyagi, Japan.. weighing in a one hundred and sixty five pounds.. TAKASHI SHINOBU!

Slowly the three men begin to surround the ring, all going their seperate ways with Giovanni eyes on Takashi, Edwards eyes on Kojima and Hendriks eyes on Yoshiro! The Rebellion take a step back into the center of the ring and allow their opponents to enter as the music begins to die out and silent begins to fill the Tokyo Dome.

Shiozaki: Tension is an understatement, these men look like they're ready to kill.

The teams go over to separate corners as the referee reminds the men of the EXODUS rules; no disqualifications, no count counts, anything goes, under elimination rules. The team nod their heads and the referee asks for each man from each team to shake hands, reluctantly both teams go to the center of the ring and do as they're told, to applause from the audience. The referee then signals for the bell to be rang!!

Sato: There it is! And STARDOM I is underway!

The bell sounds and total chaos ensues as the Rebellion quickly dive into the action with Joey Edwards making the first movement, targeting Kojima as he takes him to the corner with a barrel of punches in his direction. Hendriks is on Yoshiro, forcing him back against the ropes whilst Gio Moriello has Takashi under control, delivering stiff chops in the corner of the ring. Moriello and Edwards are both opposite one another with their opponents back against the corner, Edwards and Moriello look at each other before Irish whipping their opponents towards one another who meet in the center of the ring. Smartly Takashi manages to roll underneath Kojima who can't control the pace of which he's going at. Takashi then gets up and sprints to the corner where Edwards is, leaping up high in the air and connecting with a fierce clothesline to the corner. Kojima, who has no control of his actions, simply just runs into Moriello, colliding in the corner which stuns Moriello who falls. Kojima and Takashi look at one another and now they're in the position that Edwards and Moriello were in moments ago, with Edwards and Moriello now with their backs to the corner. They Irish whip the pair towards one another who collide in the middle of the ring. The two then stumble as they turn around and Takashi connects with a superkick to Giovanni whilst Kojima connects with a high knee to the face. They pose for the audience as they applaud them for their efforts.

Gozen: A great counter attack from Kojima and Takashi on Giovanni and Edwards who came out of the blocks very quick early on in this contest, with a lot of intensity, and a lot of speed.

Meanwhile Hendriks has been absolutely dominating Yoshiro and the two have taken their brawl outside the ring, after Hendriks threw the former World Extreme Champion out there earlier on. Hendriks has Yoshiro by his hair and is slamming his head against the steel barricade, before taking him towards the apron and slamming his head on that. He then lifts Yoshiro up, attempting a standard body slam but Yoshiro slips out of it and pokes Hendriks in the eye. Yoshiro then grabs Hendriks and throws the massive athlete into the barricades. Yoshiro then slides into the ring and helps out with Kojima who has Edwards by the ropes. The two then both Irish whip Edwards to the opposite ropes, who bounces back and ducks under a double clothesline attempt. Edwards bounces back and pauses as the two attempt to lift him up and over, he flicks the upper body of Kojima so he's standing up straight and performs an enziguri kick. Yoshiro realizes what's happened and stands up straight, ducking under a quick roundhouse kick attempt by Edwards, who then lands an enziguri kick on Yoshiro.

Sato: Joey Edwards is one of the most quickest wrestlers you'll see around! He hasn't been wrestling for around two years but he sure has picked up where he left off. With countless championships in his accolades; Edwards will be looking to add a trio title to his arsenal, something he stated at the press conference, as he's never won a trios title before.

Takeshi and Giovanni are exchanging blows, a quick alternating pattern of attacks ensuing between the two, a kick followed by a kick by the opponent, a slap followed by a slap, a punch followed by a punch. Takashi ducks under a standing clothesline attempting and attempts to sweep Giovanni off of his feet, who manages to jump up and over in time. Giovanni then grabs Takashi by his head and head-butts him, performing a hurricanrana afterwards which sending Takashi rolling under the bottom rope and out of the ring. Unfortunately for Takashi he lands at the feet of Hendriks who looks at him and smirks, lifting him up by his neck and holding him there to the surprise of the audience. He then slams him down to the mat outside the ring, a chokeslam executed exquisitely, and afterwards Hendriks lands a standing leg drop on Takashi.

Inside the ring, Edwards and Giovanni have Kojima and are yelling at Hendriks who turns around. Edwards and Gio lift Kojima up and throw him over the top rope for Hendriks to catch, which he does. Performing a devastating spine-buster afterwards. He then kicks Kojima aside who is struggling to get up alongside Takashi. Edwards and Gio then throw Yoshiro over the top rope and Hendriks catches him, performing an overhead suplex on Yoshiro! Hendriks moves out of the way and taunts the audience whilst Kojima, Takashi and Yoshiro struggle to get on their feet. They gradually do but their time up is short lived as coming from the ring are Joey Edwards and Giovanni Moriello, who fly over the top rope and land on all three men, all of them come crumbling down.

Shiozaki: And they are come crashing down! The Rebellion are the team who have been thriving early on in this match and that there is just excellent, Edwards and Giovanni feeding Hendriks who slams them down before Edwards and Gio finish off the job and gobble them up.

Gozen: The Rebellion have got to remember that this is under elimination rules as well, so they've got to be pinning their opponents, eliminating them as quick as possible.

Edwards and Giovanni have got tables out from underneath the ring, setting them up by the commentary table whilst Hendriks is working on the three men, alternating between them as he kicks them down whenever they even make a movement. Edwards tells Hendriks to get Takashi, and he does. Takashi then throws his arms up in the air and slaps Edwards in the face, Gio watches in shock as Edwards anger builds up. Takashi turns and Edwards is full on chasing him around the outside of the ring while Yoshiro and Kojima recover and attack Hendriks from behind. Takashi slides into the ring and so does Giovanni from the other side, he ducks under a clothesline attempt and runs to the ropes, leaping onto the middle rope which he uses to leap onto the top rope by the corner, performing a moonsault as he lands on both Joey Edwards and Giovanni Moriello. Kojima and Yoshiro are working on Hendriks on the outside, Kojima toe kicking Hendriks in the stomach and the two then attempt to double suplex Hendriks, who manages to stop them. The two attempt to lift him up again but once again, Hendriks doesn't allow them too. And for a third time the two attempt to lift and this time, prevail!

Shiozaki: AND THAT'S VINCENT VAN HENDRIKS THROUGH THE TABLE FROM A DOUBLE SUPLEX!

Sending Hendriks through the table by the commentary desk! Takashi is on the top rope and leaps off of it, performing a 450 splash on Hendriks and pins him!

Gozen: AND A FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY SPLASH FROM MORIELLO AND HE'S GONE FOR THE PIN!

ONE

TWO

THR -

Hendriks manages to power through and launches Takashi off of himself. Edwards and Gio come rushing to the scene and separately take on Yoshiro and Kojima, Edwards on Yoshiro and Gio on Kojima. Yoshiro lands a forearm shot to Edwards followed by another.. and another, Edwards stumbles into the barricade and Yoshiro then uses his elbow to smash into the forehead of Edwards. Yoshiro locks him in a headlock, bringing him down to his knees whilst Giovanni Moriello has Kojima grounded after performing an inverted DDT. Moriello then lifts Kojima up and rolls him into the ring, looking underneath the ring for some weapons, finding a steel chair and he slides in himself. Takashi is trying to escape the clutches of Hendriks who managed to get up and turn things around for himself, Hendriks rolls him under the ropes and into the ring, following after. Yoshiro is still dominating Edwards by the barricade, with stiff chops to the chest creating a clap which echoes through the dome. Yoshiro then rolls Edwards into the ring and all six men are now inside. Hendriks hoists Takashi onto the top rope, looking to perform a superplex from the top but Takashio manages to get Hendriks off of him - with punches to his side. Takashi then stands up straight and flies off of the top rope but Hendriks notices and lands a super kick on Takashi!

Sato: SUPERKICK BY HENDRIKS! HE ALMOST TOOK HIS HEAD OFF!

Yoshiro has Edwards cornered and is beating him down with punches, Hendriks turns him around and issues another superkick!

Gozen: ANOTHER SUPERKICK BY VAN HENDRIKS!

Kojima who turns around because of all the commotion is met by a superkick by Vincent Van Hendriks who has single handedly depleted the whole team with superkicks!

Shiozaki: None of them are giving up on this fight!

Giovanni picks up the steel chair that was thrown into the ring and uses it whilst his partners encourage him, he walks around to each of his opponents and slams them over the head with the chair, creating a thud each time as Hendriks and Edwards applaud each time. But once he connects with Kojima, a trigger goes off and all of a sudden the King of Hardcore is alive again; getting up onto his feet and wiping his forehead, blood beginning to spew he looks at Giovanni and bows towards him, who doesn't know what to do so hits him again with the chair. Kojima laughs and isn't affected, shaking his head sideways, he grabs the chair and throws it aside and Moriello backs off. Edwards runs towards Kojima who lifts him up and performs a side walk slam. He gets up and Gio now runs at him leaping up into the air and attempting a hurricanrana, but Kojima doesn't give in, instead he moves to the corner and powerbombs Gio into it. And now, Kojima and Hendriks are looking at each other; and Kojima invites Hendriks to try his luck. Hendriks goes over to him and collides his knee to the stomach of Kojima before whipping him to the ropes, Kojima bounces back and lands a drop kick on Hendriks who is down but not for long. Hendriks is up, turns around and Kojima wraps his arms around him before delivering a belly to belly suplex!

Shiozaki: Kojima has come alive! The King of Hardcore has arrived!

Gozen: Looks like the shot to the head by Moriello with that steel chair wasn't a smart idea as it's only motivated and brought out the KOJIMA that we all know and love!

Applause ensues as Kojima gets to his feet and his teammates pat him on the back for his efforts. Kojima then gets Joey Edwards up onto his feet and brings him to the corner, Irish whips him to the opposite corner where Edwards is met with a superkick by Takashi, but it isn't over there. Edwards staggers to the center of the ring and Takashi runs to the ropes, rebound off of them and takes Edwards down with a head scissors take down. Takashi gets up and now has Gio Moriello being thrown to his direction by Yoshiro and Takashi drives his knee into the stomach of Moriello before getting in behind him and hoisting him up, performing a German suplex. Moriello and Edwards have rolled to the outside of the ring. Kojima and Yoshiro have Van Hendriks, with Kojima holding his feet and Yoshiro his arms. Takashi hoists himself up onto the top rope and positions himself, shouting out to the audience before plummeting off of the top rope with a four hundred and fifty splash, while Yoshiro and Kojima also generate power behind the delivery as they slam Hendriks down. Takashi covers!

Kado: Vincent Van Hendriks has been eliminated!

Kado announces as Hendriks rolls out of the ring and is escorted to the back by security.

Shiozaki: Once you're eliminated that's it, you have to watch your teammates from the back.

Sato: Looks like he isn't heading to the back.

Hendriks fights security off of him, suggesting that he's perfectly fine watching from the top of the stage.

The three NJFC originals exit the ring and join Edwards and Gio on the outside who have just realized that its them against the rest, they look at each other as the three men approach them and both men back off, Moriello snatching a steel chair from the side whilst Edwards grabs a chair of his own. The two then approach the three who begin to back off. Edwards and Gio don't take their eyes off of their opponents as they fall back and enter the ring while the other three separate and surround the ring, Edwards and Gio have their backs against one another's. The three men jump onto the apron and Gio and Edwards rush towards the ropes and smash their chairs against them like maniacs whilst the three jump off the apron. KOJIMA, who just wants in on the action grabs a few chairs and lobs them towards the men, frustrated that he isn't getting his own way. He then jumps onto the apron and ducks under the chair shot attempt by Edwards, driving his shoulder into his gut. And Edwards stumbles back; Moriello is occupied trying to fight off Yoshiro which leaves Takashi free who jumps onto the apron and springboards his way into the ring with a bang, performing a springboard dropkick which sends Edwards crashing down! This signals KOJIMA and Yoshiro to enter the ring..

Moriello is surrounded by Yoshiro, Takashi and KOJIMA and looks around for help desperately, he tries to turn and run away but bumps into Yoshiro. He turns the other direction bumping into KOJIMA, he turns into Takashi who turns quickly and delivers a backflip kick also known as the pele kick which sends Moriello stumbling backwards a little, turning into Yoshiro who lifts him up and slams him down to the canvas with a spine buster while KOJIMA runs to the ropes, bounces back and performs a diving head butt! KOJIMA then goes for the pin!

Kado: Giovanni Moriello has been eliminated!

Moriello rolls out of the ring and falls onto the matted flooring, being escorted by a team of security up the entrance ramp but he doesn't go to the back, instead he decides to watch on with Vincent Han Hendriks.

Sato: And only one remains from The Rebellion! Joey Edwards is alone with nowhere to run and nowhere to hide!

Edwards gets up onto his feet and has a realization he is the last man on his team, a brief second to think about it, Edwards backs away from the three men who approach him. He then stops and instead decides to engage in combat, throwing a kick towards Takashi, connecting with the roundhouse kick. Ducking under the arm of Yoshiro he flies over to KOJIMA and takes him down with a flying forearm. Turning around he has Takashi running towards him, he ducks and lifts him up to perform a standard back, his knee driving into the back of Takashi. He then runs over to Yoshiro and hits him several times with crisp shots to the head, grabbing him by the head he throws him out of the ring and focuses on KOJIMA who is getting back up onto his feet. He runs at him and connects with the sweetest of drop kicks which forces KOJIMA backwards but not down, Edwards then runs up to him and connects with a enziguri. KOJIMA is down on one knee, Edwards quickly runs to the ropes and on his return connects with a shining wizard kick! KOJIMA is now down with his back on the canvas, Edwards thinks about getting the pin but now Takashi is running towards him with a steel chair. Edwards ducks under the chair shot and runs towards the ropes, springboarding onto them, turning around and connecting with a sweet enziguri kick that knocks Takashi down and sends him rolling out of the ring holding onto his head. Edwards gets up and looks at the fallen NJFC originals, Yoshiro and Takashi outside the ring while KOJIMA is right in front of him, applause ensues for his efforts.

Gozen: Wow! Joey Edwards maybe the last one standing but he has taken control of the situation!

Shiozaki: You've got to applaud him for his efforts there!

Edwards heads over to KOJIMA and lifts him up onto his feet, bringing him over to the corner before he swings him to the opposite corner. He then runs at him and connects with a big splash in the corner, KOJIMA stumbles out and Edwards runs to the ropes and rebounds, when returning to KOJIMA he has to leap frog over him, running to the opposite ropes whilst KOJIMA stalks. Edwards realizes this and uses the ropes to springboard his way over KOJIMA with a back flip, and when KOJIMA turns around...

Shiozaki: SUPERKICK BY EDWARDS!

And then he covers.

Kado: Kojima has been eliminated!

Edwards gets back up onto his feet whilst KOJIMA is escorted out of the ring and up the ramp where he watches from. Takashi and Yoshiro are slowly making it up to their feet and Edwards realizes this, running towards the ropes he launches himself over the top rope and lands on both of the men. Getting up he looks around the Tokyo Dome and embraces the applause that ensue.

Sato: Joey Edwards showing the Tokyo Dome how great he is!

He lifts Yoshiro up onto his feet and slams his head against the barricade before rolling him into the ring, picking up a steel chair from the outside before entering himself. Yoshiro connects with a big boot to Edwards who tried to protect his face with the chair but ultimately, he should have just taken the boot. Yoshiro runs to the ropes and connects with a big splash to the downed Joey Edwards. He gets up almost immediately and does this another two times before lifting Edwards up and slamming him down with a powerslam, with the fans applauding him for his efforts, Takashi is up on the top rope and is signaling for Yoshiro to come over to him. Yoshiro goes over to him and Takashi whispers in his ear, Yoshiro then picks up Takashi, showing off his strength as he walks over to Edwards - throwing Takashi up into the air who comes back down attempting a frog splash on Edwards! Yoshiro think's it has been successful so turns around to play with the audience, but little does he know, Edwards got his knees up last second! Edwards is now up and behind Yoshiro, and rolls him up for the pin!

Gozen: I don't believe this!

ONE

THREE!

Kado: Asuka Yoshiro has been eliminated!

Yoshiro buries his head in his hands in disbelief as he is being told to exit the ring. The Rebellion on the entrance ramp on going insane and the audience in attendance can't believe what's happening, the first pop since the start of the show ensues. Edwards leans against the ropes and Takashi is opposite him doing the same, and the two share a glare whilst Yoshiro struts up the ramp.

Shiozaki: Joey Edwards has managed to make it this far! Eliminating both Yoshiro and KOJIMA! I can't believe what's happening.

Takashi and Edwards are both on their feet and are circling around the room before the two lunge into the center and lock up with Edwards gaining the upperhand, locking Takashi in a head lock. Wrenching the hold, Edwards runs towards the ropes and uses it to propel himself up with the hold still intact, connecting with an high impact bulldog on Takashi whilst still intact with the hold as the two are down. He then brings him back up and Takashi managed to escape from the hold, using the arm of Edwards to escape it; before twisting his arm and getting in behind him for a hammerlock. Edwards then runs backwards and forces Takashi to hit the ropes who releases the hold, Edwards then attempts a back flip kick but nobody's home. Edwards gets up and to his surprise is met by the boot of Takashi but he manages to grab it last second, only for the other of Takashi to connect with the back of his head.

The two are back up and Edwards is taken down with a drop kick, but immediately he gets back up and replies with a drop kick of his own. Their third meeting is quick and full of combintions; Edwards having to leap frog over Takashi, then having to jump over him as he attempts to trip him up, Takashi ducking under a clothesline attempt - runs to the ropes, handsprings before he hits the ropes and launches himself backwards to connect his elbow to the upper body of Edwards. He grabs a steel chair and hits Edwards while his down before hoisting himself up onto the turnbuckle. The steel chair still in his hands, he tucks it in as he launches himself off of the turnbuckle, connecting with a 450 splash! He covers!!

THREEE!

The bell sounds and this one is finally over. Takashi is joined by his teammates in the ring who praise him for his efforts and the referee holds his arm up in victory, smiles on all of their faces as the Tokyo Dome erupts in applause as their theme song plays through the speakers.

Kado: The winners of the match.. TAKASHI SHINOBU, ASUKA YOSHIRO AND KOJIMA!

MATCH TWO

THE DEBUT OF TWO

SINGLES MATCH

Josh Garth vs. Talon Miles

Kado: The following contest is scheduled for a one fall and is the second battle of the evening! Tsugi no kontesuto wa 1 aki ni yotei shi, yoru no daini no tatakaidesu!

'Cunt Crusher - Guitar Play Through Solo' by Infant Annihilator starts to play, as Josh starts to walk out from the back, stepping onto the stage he soaks in the atmosphere, knowing that moments like this only come once or twice in your career. He claps his hands together before posing on the stage, a smile plastering across his mouth as he walks down.

Kado: Introducing first from San Fransisco, California.. weighing in a two hundred and two pounds... JOSH GARTH! 202-Pondo de keiryō.. Sanfuranshisuko, Kariforunia-shū kara no saisho no go shōkai... JOSH gāsu!

He starts high giving fans, then when he makes it to the apron, he slaps his chest and raise's his left arm up, flipping and rolling inside of the ring then heading towards the corner and starts to look around the arena.

Shiozaki: What a moment this is for this young man Josh Garth, his professional wrestling debut will be one to remember as he's competing in the biggest event of the year in one of the most historic arenas in the world. Garth is your traditional junior heavyweight who excels at flying across the ring, quick maneuvers, loves to fly around in there and the stage is his tonight. What a moment!


Gozen: He'll cherish this moment for the rest of his career, it's very rare to debut in the Tokyo Dome but Josh Garth has got that opportunity here tonight!

Sato: It's quite the story with Josh Garth. He actually tried to join New Japan Fighting Championship on five occasions last year but failed to actually get a contract, however this year; when trialling again he prevailed and now he's been thrown into the deep end. STARDOM I in the Tokyo Dome, if this kid is as good as the NJFC trainers say then he'll be a hit here in NJFC.

'The Miracle' hits the arena as Talon Miles steps out onto the stage with his arms out wide. He bounces back and forth as white and gold pyro's emit from the stage behind him. Summer steps out onto the stage behind him and kneels in front of him. Miles helps Summer back up to their feet as they make their way down the ramp.

Kado: And his opponent.. from Charleston, South Carolina, weighing in a two hundred and twenty pounds.. He is "The Miracle" - TALON MILES! Taron no MILES - to ni hyaku ni jū-pondo de keiryō chārusuton kara aite.. , Sausukaroraina-shū dewa,.. Kare wa" kiseki"desu!

Once ringside Miles guides Summer to their corner before climbing the steps onto the ring apron. Miles wipes his feet before stepping through the ropes and standing in the middle of the ring.

Shiozaki: Another man making his professional wrestling debut on the grandest stage of them all. Talon Miles is the self proclaimed miracle to professional wrestling with natural raw talent that he honed while training in Montana, more specifically Montana Championship Wrestling - he thinks he's a gift to the world and apparently is quoted to have said that NJFC are lucky to have him.

Sato: Very confident, very egotistical - it'll be interesting to see these two making their professional debuts but I wonder who's going to be the man that'll have their arm raised at the end of the match. We literally know nothing about either of these two men, only the stuff we have been provided from their profiles but in terms of what they can do inside the four sided ring, that remains to be seen.

Miles removes his vest before handing it over to Summer on the outside. He goes over to his corner smirking arrogantly at Josh Garth who stands opposite him, hopping on the spot as Shinobu Ichii enters the ring as she is the official for this upcoming match. She asks both men to listen to her clearly as she reminds both of the two men of the rules, there are count outs with a twenty second limit, disqualification still does apply if weapons are used of it there's any outside interference. She then asks the two men to shake hands in the center of the ring as that's whats in the code of conduct and the two men does as she says, slowly walking to the center of the ring, the two slap hands and this one is under way as the bell sounds.

Gozen: The second match of the night is underway!

Sato: And already Talon Miles is showing off.

Immediately Miles begins to pose for the audience, stretching his arms out wide as he looks at the dozens in the Tokyo Dome with a smirk upon his lip whilst Garth watches him, in a position to attack. Miles then stops with his pose and looks at Garth who has a look of seriousness on his face, the two nod heads and begin to circle the ring - at the same time they lunge into the center of the ring and lock up, with Talon taking the advantage as he drives Garth up into the corner where Garth has his arms on the ropes which forces Shinobu to intervene and tell Miles that he has to release him and that's what he does, and before Garth can back away, a slap across his face connects from Miles. Garth looks away, holding onto his cheek before turning and connecting with a lethal punch to the jaw of Miles who flies down. Immediately getting up, Garth connects with another hit to the jaw and now has Miles cornered in the corner opposite to where they previously were. He grabs his arm and looks to Irish whip him but Miles reverses, twists his arm around before engaging with a headlock. Garth manages to lift him up a little but Miles puts his weight down and manages to get back down to his feet, running towards the ropes, he rebounds off of them and when he comes back to the center of the ring is met by a drop kick by Garth, who flips backwards after performing the move.

The two immediately get back up onto their feet and Garth grabs Miles by his arm and takes him down with an arm drag, the two repeating this transaction for a second time afterwards. As the two come back up for the third time, Garth grabs Miles and attempts a hip toss but Miles manages to put his weight down on it so that Garth can't lift him, he elbows him in the stomach which forces Garth to release hold of him. Miles then grabs him and slams him down to the mat with a DDT, before going for the quick victory.

ONE

Shiozaki: A quick DDT from Talon Miles isn't enough to put away Josh Garth, barely a one count.

But that's all he gets as Garth manages to kick out and Miles immediately gets back up and brings Garth back up with him, connecting with several crisp uppercuts as he leads him into the corner, where he connects with a few stiff shots to the head. Miles then attempts an Irish whip to the opposite corner but Garth reverses it so that Miles is sent to the corner with Garth now stalking him. Miles lures him in and grabs the ropes, using the ropes to propel himself upwards and kick his legs over Garth so that he is now in behind Garth. And from behind Miles wraps his arms around his waist and performs a German suplex. He gets up onto his feet and poses for the audience who applaud him for his efforts as he walks around the four sided ring. He then turns his attention back to Garth, moving him across the ring and slumping him into the corner, hitting a few stiff forearm shots to the head which sends Garth down. He heads to the other corner and showboats to the crowd before turning and running towards Garth who is slumped up in the corner, delivering a front drop kick which connects with the chest of Garth who stumbles out of the corner holding onto it.

Shiozaki: Photo Finish! Miles connects with his finishing move!

REPLAY BOARD

THREE

Kado: And the winner of the match... TALON MILES!

The bell sounds and immediately Miles makes it up to his feet and has his arm lifted high by the official, a smirk on his face as his escort Summer walks into the ring and plants a massive kiss on his cheek, before the two exit the ring and romantically kiss as they walk up the entrance ramp, with Miles lifting her up and carrying her back.

Gozen: Talon Miles with a rather dominant showing here on his debut, managing to win the match under ten minutes.

Sato: If he keeps showing up like that, then he's got a bright future ahead of him here in NJFC.

Winner: Talon Miles (6:22)

She smiles back at him as he steps back and gives her a final wink before rolling under the bottom ropes. Once in the ring Dylan pops up to his feet and climbs to the top of the nearest turnbuckle.

Knight however manages to roll through Hunter’s swinging neckbreaker and takes him down to the mat with a swinging neckbreaker of his own.Both men are down in the middle of the ring when the referee begins to start his count and by the count of three both men begin to stir with both men reaching their feet by the count of five.

Nakano Gozen: Jason Park Hunter would not give up and take a breather to rethink his strategy and Dylan Knight was able to take advantage.

Takao Sato: I hope this isn’t the last time these two face off, because this is one entertaining matchup here tonight.

Korato Shiozuki: These two are putting it all out on the line and both want to walk away here tonight victorious.

Both men meet in the middle of the ring throwing wild right hands. Knight manages to gain the upperhand and grabs Hunter by the arm sending him to the ropes with an irish whip. Hunter bounces back right into an armdrag from Knight taking him down to the mat. Hunter makes his way back up to his feet and manages to walk into another arm drag from Knight taking him down to the mat. Hunter waste little time making his way back up to his feet and walking right into a Fisherman Suplex attempt, but Hunter manages to pull himself free. Hunter steps back before driving his foot deep into the jaw of Knight for a SuperKick. Knight hits the mat landing on his back and Hunter falls to his rear and pushing his shoulders across the body of Knight for the cover. The ref ges down to make the count, but Knight just kicks out before the count of three. Hunter has had enough and stands tall in the middle of the ring. He signals the top turnbuckle and drags his thumb across his throat before grabbing Knight and pulling him back up to his feet. Hunter tosses Knight into the corner before following behind him catching him with a European Uppercut. Hunter grabs the head of Knight and quickly climbs to the top of the nearest turnbuckle. Hunter still having ahold of Knight by the head pulls him up to the top turnbuckle as well. Knight reacts as fast as a New York Second and jabs his thumb into the eye of Jason Park Hunter. Hunter grabs his eye as Knight steps down to the second turnbuckle and lifts Hunter into the air. Knight then jumps down to the ring dropping Hunter headfirst against the turnbuckle with a devastating BrainBuster. Knight then drags the lifeless body of Hunter to the middle of the ring and hooks his legs for the cover as the ref hits the mat for the three count.
Winner: Dylan Knight (28:45)

Mai Kado: Ladies and Gentlemen your winner of the matchup via pinfall, DYLAN KNIGHT!!!

Nakano Gozen: Dylan Knight and Jason Park Hunter both put on one hell of a matchup here tonight.

Takao Sato: They both Stepped Up A Gear and Dylan Knight walks away victorious following that devastating BrainBuster to the top turnbuckle.

Korato Shiozuki: Jason Park Hunter was looking for the Hunter Score 2.0, but Dylan Knight managed to turn the tide in his favor and it got him the three count.

Dylan Knight stands in the middle of the ring and taps his right wrist with his left hand looking over at the referee. The referee frowns before walking over and grabbing the right wrist of Knight and throwing it high into the air. Knight smiles big before pulling his wrist free and rolling out of the ring. He walks over to the Blonde from earlier before and again grabs the hand of the Blonde from before. He looks into her eyes giving her that killer smile before kissing her hand softly. Knight goes to walk away, but she pulls him in and locks lips with him kissing him hard.

Nakano Gozen: Dylan Knight is the one to get the kiss this time and she put it on him.

Takao Sato: What a shock, she can’t do that he’s a professional, wrestler, where’s security escort that woman from the building.

Korato Shiozuki: It’s just a kiss Takao, calm down. He has a way with the ladies and he doesn’t even know it.

The fan grabs Dylan’s hand and pulls out a sharpie from her back pocket. She writes her phone number across his wrist tape as Dylan winks at her and smiles big. Dylan makes his way up the rest of the ramp with a huge smile across his face.

MATCH FOUR

GPC FIGHTING JUNIOR HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

HARDCORE MATCH

Tara Davidson (c) vs. King Flip

Kado: Ladies and Gentlemen the following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a HARDCORE match for the GPC Fighting Junior Heavyweight Championship! Go resseki no minasama,-ji no kontesuto wa 1 aki ni yotei to juniahebī-kyū senshuken no tatakai GPC-yō HARDCORE matchidesu!

Some soft chanting begins to fill the arena. Slowly, four men in purple cloaks walk onto each side of the stage carrying one flaming barbed-wire 2x4 each. Mist begins to plume in on the stage from all directions reaching to be several feet thick.

Kado: Introducing first, the Challenger from the Land of Money and Fame… Weighing in at 220 pounds… KING FLIP!!! Saisho no shōkai, okane ya meisei no tochi kara charenjā... 220-Pondo de keiryō... Kingu no furippuappu! ! !

From below, King Flip emerges from below decked out in all-purple ring gear: elbow and knee pads, boots, shorts, a hooded vest, and over all of this a large purple velvet cape and a magnificent golden crown and scepter. An ominous and incredibly slowed a Capella version of 'Obnoxious' instrumental begins to fill in for the chanting. A very serious and somber King approaches the ring looking through his eyebrows with his head low. He reaches the ring apron and stops with a gaze around. From out of nowhere comes a jester dressed Chris Calvin, right arm in a sling, ready to hold the crown when Flip lowers himself to one knee. Flip unties the cape and hands it off with the scepter. The King slides into the ring and rises to the nearest second rope. He extends his arms out in a cross, head looking straight up, with his fingers showing 'Double F' taunts.

Kado: And his opponent… Soshite, kare no taisen aite

The lights begin to flicker “In This Moment” by Blood hits to an enormous reaction from the crowd! Tara Davidson walks out on stage with the Fighting Junior Heavyweight Championship around her waist! She points out into the crowd as she makes her way to the ring.

Kado: From Miami Florida, weighing in at 120 pounds… She is the GPC Fighting Junior Heavyweight Champion! TARA DAVIDSON!!! Furorida-shū Maiami kara wa, 120-pondo de keiryō... Kanojo wa GPC faitingujuniahebī-kyū chanpiondesu! TARA DAVIDSON! ! !

She continues to the ring, stepping through the ropes, and walking over to the corner turnbuckle, pointing out into the crowd! She removes the belt from around her waist and raises it high in the air. Stepping down she hands the belt to the ref who holds it up high signifying the Championship Match. He calls for the bell and we are under way.

Ding… Ding… Ding!!!

King Flip simply stands in his corner in no hurry to start this thing out. Tara bends over with her hands on her knees seemingly assessing the situation, she claps her hands and gets the crowd into it as the crowd starts to clap along with her. She circles the ring, waving King Flip to get the match started… but Flip just shakes his head, showing that he isn’t taking the match seriously.

Gozen: King Flip seems to think this match is going to be just too easy, but if I were him I wouldn’t be so sure.

Sato: The champion seems to be too smart to rush him, I’m sure that he’s baiting her.

Tara raises her hands in frustration laughing as Flip refuses to start the fight. She walks toward him, and Flip ducks into the ropes telling the ref to get her back. She rolls her eyes, and walks away. Flip exits the ring, and begins arguing with fans at ringside who are upset that he wont start the fight… She hits he ropes and leaps into the air landing on top of King Flip who crashes down under her! The crowd goes wild as she takes down Flip. She raises her hand… smiling, she reaches down under the ring apron, and pulls a chair out from under the ring, holding it high up in the air! She goes to swing it high, but before she can swing it down Flip hits her with a elbow to the stomach, she doubles over in pain dropping the chair. Flip grabs the chair and tosses it in the ring. He grabs Tara by her trunks and throws her in the ring under the bottom rope. While she stumbles to her feet inside the ring, Flip reaches under the ring and pulls out a table!

The crowd goes crazy!

He sets it up near the corner turnbuckle for later and slides back in the ring where Tara is waiting for him, she stomps him a few times, but it seems to affect him very little as he gets to his feet. They tie up in the middle of the ring, and she shoves him into the ropes, being too smart to try to shoulder tackle the larger man she leap frogs him, and when he bounces back she hooks him with an arm bar slamming him to the mat, holding it in tight. Flip looks more irritated than hurt, but he can’t get free from the hold. He overpowers her and gets to his feet, and he shoves her to the ground. She jumps back up but King Flip hits the ropes hits her with a spinning wheel kick to the face knocking her to the mat. He stands up, as Tara crawls over to the chair and King Flip walks over and steps on the chair before she can pick it up. Smiling down at her, shaking his head no.

Gozen: King Flip seemed to have a pretty good game plan going into this match.

Sato: His arrogance could cost him in the end.

He goes to pick her up, but Tara grabs his leg and turns it into a spinning knee bar!!!

Sato: Told ya…

Flip grabs the ropes, but the ref informs him that there are no rope breaks in a hardcore match and kicks his hands off the ropes! He sits up and uses his free leg to make repeated kicks to Tara’s sternum until she releases the hold. Flip gets back up to his feet, limping just a little, as Tara is back on her feet as well. Flip turns around just in time for Tara to hit him with a Diving Face buster right on the chair!!! She quickly goes for the cover…

ONE



TWO



KICKOUT

Tara really seems to be getting her adrenaline pumping as she heads for the top rope! As soon as Flip gets to his feet She leaps at him with a flying cross body, but he catches her mid air! But the momentum rolls him backwards and it ends up with Tara ontop!

ONE



TWO



KICK OUT

Flip quickly regroups by heading to the outside of the ring, Tara follows suit and grabs him by the back of the head and slams him face first into the guard rail! He stumbles a bit, and Tara grabs him in a headlock, but Flip shoves her off and her stomach hits the table that was set up earlier, knocking the wind out of her. Flip rolls her ontop of the table and he slides in the ring, and at full speed hits the far turnbuckle and then sprints to the other side of the ring and walks up the turnbuckle and leaps though the air hitting a summersault leg drop crashing the two of them through the table!!!

Gozen: The crash seems to have taken a lot out of both of them!

Sato: Flip just fell over on top of Tara!

The ref, who was inside the ring rushes to the outside to make the count! He makes it as fast as he can….

ONE


TWO


KICKOUT

The both of them crawl to their feet, Tara runs her hand under the ring apron, and grabs a baseball bat! Flip turns around just in time to take a ball bat to the stomach!!! He doubles over and she cracks the bat across the spine of Flip and he falls to the arena floor! She falls to her knees exhausted herself. She turns over Flip for the cover…

ONE


TWO


KICKOUT

Gozen: These hardcore matches don’t typically have a long match expediency, but these two have already been beaten to a pulp.

Tara goes for the knockout blow, she reaches WAAAY back with the baseball bat and swings it down to crash it on the face of Flip but he quickly moves out of the way, and she connects with the arena floor below!

Sato: This match has broken down to just a brutal street fight, it has lost all resemblance of a wrestling match.

Tara drops the bat, shaking her hands from the pain, and turns around into a massive clothsline from Flip! She hits the arena floor with a loud THUD! Flip uses this moment to reach under the ring once again… and he pulls out another table! He sets it up but as he is setting it up, Tara gets to her feet, grabbing a piece of broken wood from the other table, and just as he turns around she breaks it across his face!!! He collapses backwards onto the table! She steps up on the table, pulling him up, clearly dazed… she sets him up for a pulling piledriver and pile drives him through the table to the arena floor below!!! But she doesn’t go for the pin!!!

Gozen: What is she thinking here?

She drags him off of the table, and backs up waiting for him to get up, standing a good distance away, she waves for him to get up, he slowly makes it to his feet and she goes for The Goodnight Kiss!!! But Flip moves out of the way at the last second and her foot hits the ring apron, Flip grabs her from behind and rolls her up tight grabbing the tights for leverage!!!

THR— KICKOUT AT THE LAST MOMENT!

Gozen: Flip NEARLY got the victory there!

She quickly gets to her feet, breathing heavily almost in a panic that she almost lost her belt being so careless. The two meet face to face and begin trading lefts and rights with each other as fast as they can! Its pretty evenly matched until Tara kicks Flip square between his legs and drops him to the ground!!!

Gozen: OHHHH!!!!

Flip falls to his knees, and Tara hits the Face Lift on the arena floor!!! It looks like she is thinking about going for the pin, but she decides against it, as she grabs another chair from under the ring, she holds it high in the air, and slams it down on the ground, waiting for Flip to make it to his feet… She waits patiently and just as he makes it to his feet she runs at him and swings with all her might and crashes him square in the face with the steel chair!!!

Sato: Flip has been busted wide open!!!

She still isn’t done… Flip looks to be out cold, but she doesn’t go for the cover. She again slams the chair on the floor and waits for him to get up to his feet. He is wobbly, and turns around and she again CRASHES the already dented steel chair on his forehead sending him back down to the arena floor once again! But she again doesn’t go for the cover!

Gozen: She is looking for the hat trick!

She holds onto the chair, slapping Flip in the face to wake him up, stomping on him a few times, then even helps him get to his feet by leading him over to the ring apron, he starts to pull himself up, and almost falls down but before he does she smashes the chair across his head a THIRD time so hard that his head is sticking though the opening in the chair. Tara lets go of the chair, and Flip falls to his knees and then falls backwards on his back. The chair pops off his head and she falls to her knees exhausted herself but she knows it’s over. The battered and bloodied King Flip doesn’t move a muscle he is completely limp. The ref goes for the count…

ONE

THREEE!


Gozen: And this bloodbath is over!

Winner: Tara Davidson (14:23)

[James Peterson]

RINGSIDE 

The camera fades back from the commercial break and we are at the announce table, where the commentators are shuffling their papers with smiles plastered on their faces.

Shiozaki: What a match we just witnessed with Tara Davidson victorious in battle against King Flip to retain the GPC FIGHTING Junior Heavyweight Championship!

Sato: Flip's got to do better than that if he has any hope of overcoming Kruzer and Tony Savage, when he takes them on at Hardcore Revolution defending his International championship! A great title defense nevertheless from Tara Davidson, who just like her husband, remains undefeated here in New Japan Fighting Championship.

Gozen: And now we've got a junior heavyweight showcase match between three superstars, two of them making their debuts and one of them who after an impressive showing at Global Takeover, has his first match in the Tokyo Dome. It's time for Bronx Valescence versus Luke Wolfe versus Ryan Kidd! A match that  has been getting a lot of media attention due to their names, a match that has the potential to be a main event. God, I'm excited for this one.

Shiozaki: Let's quickly take a look at what these men had to say at the press conference the other night.

PRESS CONFERENCE REPLAY

Bronx lifted his head and tossed a few more gummy worms back as he waited for questions. A Japanese man in the back raised his hand and spoke something in Japanese. Bronx just stare blankly at him.

“I don’t know what in the hell you just said.”

The translator shook his head.

“He wanted to know why would the Japanese fans take you seriously, after all, you come with a lot of controversy on Twitter. Do you think that will hurt you here?”

Bronx nodded as he folded his hands on his chin, his foot still tapping quickly as he still had to pee really bad.

“I think…People who say that or think that. They need to look at my track record in every company I’ve been in. In GIW I stayed in the main event, 4CW I did the same thing, NGW I was and am a multiple time champion. Here will be no different. I’m a competitor deep down, and while people point and laugh at the Twitter stuff. I just bait them in. It doesn’t have anything to do with what I do in the ring. I work just as hard as everyone else, and when the bell rings. The jokes are left at the door. Kidd and Wolfe? I respect them as competitors over here in Japan, but over in the states I would probably be calling them a let down and Mr. Generic. You can figure out which two I’m talking about. Now…”

He winced and held at his bladder, a couple of other reporters raised their hands but Bronx held up a hand.

Pay attention… The truth of the matter is, the belt doesn’t make the champion, the champion makes the best, especially in this dump. James Peterson threw me in this “showcase” because he wants to “punish” me for the way I behaved last month. Well I have news for him, and everyone else, I do what I want, when I want. The worst thing that James Peterson could do is disrespect the man who won his “best of the best” match. Because if he thinks that Anarchy’16 won’t show up in his organization because we are just too busy in the EWC, that’s laughable. We are everywhere, we are at your desk at work, we are sitting at your dinner table, we are sleeping with your lover. We have people everywhere and we will take from you what means the most to you. If James Peterson thinks that I am making idle threats, all he has to do is spend one night watching the EWC.

Another reporter makes takes the risk of asking a question.

Don’t… Just don’t. So here is what is going to happen, I’m going to dominate this “Showcase” match the same way that I dominated Tanaka. Once again proving that I am the man in this place. Let’s see just how long it takes James Peterson to take notice before I burn his precious NJFC to the ground. Bringing me in could have been the worst mistake he ever made, because the only thing he has done since I came here is piss me off. Yeah, I know you are standing over there James…

Luke turns looking off stage making eye contact with Peterson who is standing with his arms crossed, shaking his head.

Hey James, aren’t you happy you brought me here? You sure seemed happy when you came to my front door begging me to show up in Japan once a month. You sure seemed happy to be signing the only person anyone will care about. So here is what’s going to happen James, when I win this showcase, you’re going to stop playing games with me, and you’re going to give me what I deserve, or I will give you what you deserve. And the NJFC’s fate will be the same as the EWC’s, and I will burn it down! I’m here now, are you afraid? You will be…

"What You Know About That" by TI hits over the house system as smoke fills the top of the entrance ramp. Bronx with his head down walks out to the top of the ramp to stand in the smoke for a moment before he pulls his hands up slowly pointing two finger guns at the ring. He pulls the trigger before he twirls the said "guns" and places them back into his "holsters" on either side before he starts his business like walk to the ring.

Kado: Introducing first from Eastport, Maine, weighing in a two hundred and five pounds.. BRONX VALESCENCE! 205-Pondo de keiryō, īsutopōto, mein-shū kara saisho ni shōkai.. BRONX VALESCENCE!

He slides with one knee up on the apron, wipes his feet and then flips over the top rope into the ring. Bronx then walks over to the middle rope and stands on it, surveying the crowd through his sunglasses before he hops off and walks over to his corner where he kicks up, using the top turnbuckle like a hammock as he waits for his opponents.

Shiozaki: One of the most controversial, talented, professional wrestlers on the planet! Bronx Valescence shot to stardoom during his spell in the independent promotion Galveston Island Wrestling, where he competed in a series of high profile matches, most notably against Chris Callum before taking his talents elsewhere. He went to Anzac Pro Wrestling and made an instant impact, managing to attain the APW World Heavyweight Championship as the promotion merged with New Generation Wrestling, before adding the NGW Heavyweight Championship to his accolades unifying the two belts to create the NGW Unified Heavyweight Championship! He's had quite the year in professional wrestling and is now here in New Japan Fighting Championship looking to continue his career in a nation that he believes takes wrestling a lot more series than they do in the states.

Sato: He's right. Here in Japan wrestling is more than just a sport, it isn't just about the entertainment. Bronxy V knows that and he welcomes the challenge! Great to see him here in New Japan Fighting Championship!

The lights dim down to a pitch black, when we hear words from Luke Wolfe…“Everything Burns”… followed by the opening chords of “Evil Ways” by Blue Saraceno it plays for about the first thirty five seconds and then fades out. “100% American Rage” by Anti-Morten blasts as fire bursts from the stage! The crowd echoes a chorus of boos as Luke Wolfe walks out on stage. Luke looks out into the crowd shaking his head as if to say that they just don’t understand.

Kado: And his opponent making his way to the ring.. from Blarney, GA - weighing in a two hundred and twenty five pounds.. LUKE WOLFEEE! 225-Pondo de keiryō.. Rūku WOLFEEE o - to kare no taisen aite wa burānī, GA kara ringu.. E no michi o tsukurimasu!

Wolfe makes his way down the ring, ignoring the screaming fans around him, his pale emotionless face doesn’t flinch as fans yell and scream profanities at him as he passes.

Gozen: Luke Wolfe made his highly anticipated debut at Global Takeover in a match against Minoru Tanaka that he dominated, completely dominated to everyone's surprise because Tanaka is a great athlete and no one expected him to get bullied the way Luke Wolfe bullied him at Global Takeover.

Sato: Luke Wolfe is up against Ryan Kidd and Bronx Valescence tonight who aren't slobs. They are two of the best and I'm sure that it won't go down the same way it did at Global Takeover. This one will be closely contested, back and forth and could be a showstealer here tonight, so early on in the night.

He makes his way up the steps and into the ring. He climbs the turnbuckle looking into the crowd as he slowly removes his hood gazing out into the crowd. He steps down removing his leather jacket, and he leans into the turnbuckle waiting for Ryan Kidd.

The lights in the arena die down as the crowd screams in anticipation. “Strength of the Mind“ by Killswitch Engage suddenly explodes through the PA system in sync to the pulsation of red lights. We then suddenly see the entrance way being engulf with smoke. Amidst the smoke, we see a figure as the song blasts throughout the airwaves. After several seconds while the smoke starts to clear, the figure materializes and is revealed to be Ryan Kidd. He looks around the arena and raises his arms to the delight of the crowd.

Kado: Making his way to the ring… Weighing in at TWO HUNDRED and SEVEN POUNDS… From Chicago Illinois by way of Los Angeles, California… Pro Wrestling’s Evil Knievel… RYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN… KIDD!! Ringu ni kare no hōhō o tsukuru... Irinoi-shū Shikago kara Rosanzerusu, Kariforunia... Puroresu no eberu naiberu... R Y A A A A A A A A A A A A A A A AAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNN... KIDD no hōhō ni yori ni hyaku sebun pondo de keiryō!

As the red lights pulsation continues, he then strolls down to the ramp and slaps some hands of the fans ringside. He stops at the bottom of the ramp and looks around the whole arena and raises his arm. He then continues walking making his way around the ring slapping some hands of the fans. He then stops in front of a steel steps and runs up to it stopping on the ring apron. He then climbs the nearest turnbuckle and raises his arms and roars to pump up the crowd.

Shiozaki: The fans are definitley familiar with Ryan Kidd, look at the ovation he's getting here tonight! The former 2CW World Champion is here in New Japan Fighting Championship!

He somersaults down from the turnbuckle and runs to the opposite corner and climbs the turnbuckle. He roars and raises his arms in the air to the delight of the fans. He then somersaults down from the turnbuckle and walks to the opposite side of the ring. He then leans on the ropes puts his foot on the bottom rope as he raises his arm ala Edge as the fans cheers him on. He then walks into his corner and does some warm ups while awaiting the sound of the bell.

The three men take a second to embrace the applause from the Tokyo Dome, looking at each other to almost say to one another that they've made it, they're competing inside the Tokyo Dome. Oliver Reid steps into the ring and reminds the men of the rules that they have to abide by, he then tells the men that they have to shake hands before this match can start and the three men do so. The bell sounds and no one makes a movement, instead the three men just look at one another, nodding their heads in respect as applause once again ensues. 

All of a sudden Bronx Valescence shoots his imaginary gun towards both of the men before turning around and posing to the audience, applause issue as he turns around and smiles at his opponents, telling them to suck it as he gestures towards his genital area. Luke Wolfe smirks arrogantly before launching himself over to the ropes and spreading his arms out, despite being a heel - he gets an applause from the audience because of his natural ring ability, because of the fact that he is a great athlete. It's Ryan Kidd's turn to show off who hops on the spot and simply just raises his arm up to the air, receiving applause from the audience before looking over at Bronx and raising his eyebrow.

The two then turn towards Luke Wolfe who knows that they're going to target him, he smirks, and invites the two men to give their best shot at it. Suddenly Wolfe and Bronxy V begin an assault on Kidd, throwing kicks and punches towards him and Kidd is defenseless and has to endure the assault, but he attempts to fight back, managing to elbow Bronxy V in the stomach which causes him to turn around and hold onto it, Wolfe then focuses his attention on Kidd. Still on one knee Kidd continues to hit Wolfe in the stomach whilst Wolfe connects with hard strikes to his back. Kidd manages to make it up onto his feet and pushes Wolfe backwards, turns around and chops Bronx in the chest, turning towards Wolfe to receive a stiff chop across the chest by him.

Turning around he receives a massive chop by Bronx who is trying to top the chop that Wolfe just issued, turning around, Kidd is hit with a forearm shot to the head by Wolfe. And Bronx delivers the same when Kidd turns to meet him. Wolfe spins Kidd around and hits him with a series of stiff forearm shots before flipping Kidd down onto the canvas, so that Kidd is now in a seated position. Wolfe then gets down low and drives his knee into the back of Kidd, who arches onto his back in pain. Bronx smirks telling Wolfe that he can do better than that, driving his knee into the back of Ryan Kidd, quickly getting up, spinning around and kicking the back of Kidd who is in obvious pain. 

Shiozaki: Bronx Valescence and Luke Wolfe just giving it to Ryan Kidd! 

Gozen: Anything you can do, I can do better style!

Wolfe quickly makes the most of the opportunity, turning his attention to Bronx Valesence as he runs over to him, toe kicking him in the stomach before sunset flipping over him and managing to lock in for a pin attempt. 

ONE

Bronx kicks out and the two men are back on their feet, with Bronx ducking under a clothesline attempt, he's in behind him and pushes him towards the ropes, as he bounces back he wraps his arms around his waist and manages to flip him onto his shoulders for a pin attempt. 

ONE

The two men shoot back up onto their feet once again with Wolfe getting in behind Bronxy V and getting a roll up. 

ONE

TWO

But to no prevail as Wolfe quickly manages to luck Bronx into a grounded headlock, unaware that Ryan Kidd is alive again and ready to attack, coming into the scene with a bang, throwing his boot towards Wolfe and almost taking his head off as he connects. Kidd then leads Wolfe over to the corner, and delivers some stiff forearm shots to his head, leaving him in the corner and turning his attention to Bronx Valescence. Lifting him up onto his feet he swings him over to the ropes, slowly stalking him, as Bronx turns around he has no answer to the drop kick that Kidd, attempts, and connects. Kidd then mounts on top of him and throws a barrel of punches to the forehead of Bronx and whilst doing so Wolfe makes it back up onto his feet, turns Kidd around and slaps him across the chest which creates a clap that echoes through the dome. Another knife edge chop connects and another before Wolfe connects with an enziguri kick that sends Kidd ludicrously falling between the top and middle rope and out of the ring. Wolfe then turns around and see's Bronx resting on one of the corners, taking a breather, he goes over to him and connects with some forearm shots.

Backing up a little before kicking Bronx in the chest who can't do anything about it but wince in pain which forces a smirk upon the lip of Wolfe. Wolfe then runs to the ropes but isn't able to make it back as the hand of Ryan Kidd prevents him, tripping him up from the outside. Bronx runs over to Kidd and attempts to clothesline him to the outside as Kidd stands on the apron, he manages to drive his shoulders into the mid section of Bronx before springboarding his way into the ring and landing a clothesline. The two are back up almost immediately and Kidd is taking control, jabbing Bronx repeatedly in the jaw, turning around and seeing Wolfe approach him he connects with some forearm shots to him, turning around he super kicks Bronx Valscence who falls to the canvas and then turns around to greet Wolfe with a lethal roundhouse kick. Applause follow from the audience.

Sato: The former Second City Wrestling World Champion showing the Tokyo Dome what he's got with a vicious super kick to the former NGW Unified Heavyweight Champion Bronx before nailing The Leader of Anarchy with a roundhouse kick.

Shiozaki: No one can deny the skills that Ryan Kidd possesses, one of the most technicians inside the four sided ring.

Kidd then covers Wolfe.

ONE

TWO

But Bronx Valescence with the save as he hits Kidd on the back and drags him off of Wolfe. Sending him over to the corner, Bronx slams his head against the corner, turning around he see's that Wolfe is over by the opposite corner and heads to that direction, hitting Wolfe with a stiff forearm shot to the head. He then Irish whips him to the corner where Kidd is but Kidd manages to move just in time but that doesn't stop Bronx, who then delivers a few more chops to the chest alternating between that and some forearm shots. He then spins him around and sends him into the same corner, with the back of Kidd connecting with the chest of Wolfe - Bronx then runs towards them but Kidd gets a foot up and pushes him back, Kidd runs at Bronx who manages to performing a spinning wheel kick which knocks Kidd down. Bronx is caught off guard as Wolfe runs towards him and manages to perform a hurricanrana. All three men take a short while to get back up but Wolfe is the first, going over to Kidd he connects with lethal kicks to his cornered opponent, a series of kicks before he turns around and charges at Bronx on the opposite corner, flying up into the air and connecting with a forearm shot. Wolfe then runs his fingers through his hair and runs towards Kidd, connecting with a high impact drop kick, getting up onto his feet quickly - he moves Kidd from the corner and gets him in a powerbomb position, lifting him up and powerbombing him into the corner. He then turns around and runs at Bronx, jumping up into the air and Bronx catches him and then performs an exploder suplex which sends an applause ringing through the Tokyo Dome.

Shiozaki: What an exploder suplex by Bronx Valescence!

Gozen: Let's take a look at the replay board!

Bronx gets back up onto his feet and plays for the audience, doing his signature twirling of the gun and putting them back into his imaginary pockets as a smile comes across his face. He then turns his attention on Kidd who's by the ropes, leaning on them - Bronx runs towards him and attempts to clothesline him over, Kidd grips onto the ropes and brings them down with him, sending Bronx over the top rope but he manages to land on the apron, but Kidd is unaware of this. Kidd meets Luke Wolfe with codebreaker which sends Wolfe flying backwards and rolling under the bottom rope to the outside. Kidd turns around and springboarding his way into the ring is Bronx Valescence who connects with a drop kick that sends Kidd flying backwards and rolling under the bottom rope to the outside. Bronx looks around the Tokyo Dome and grins from ear to ear; bracing himself...

Gozen: You're going to need to do more than that if you want to finish Ryan Kidd, great resilience from Kidd.

Sato: Bronx has been on a streak of high impact hits as of late in this match, he needs to keep on building the momentum and check his shoulders because Wolfe is getting back up right now, and he'll be looking to get back into this one.

Bronx positions Kidd in the corner but Wolfe has made his way back into the ring and attacks Bronx from behind with a hard club around the back, turning him round for a knife edge chop to the chest before throwing him into the opposite corner. He turns around and throws a punch at Kidd right in the forehead, blood begins to trickle down the forehead of Kidd who is exposed after that hit from Wolfe. Wolfe then attempts an Irish whip but Kidd reverses it, sending Wolfe to the corner where he has to answer to Bronx - Wolfe manages to monkey flip Bronx towards Kidd, who wraps his legs around the neck of Kidd and hits the hurricanrana! Applause ensues as Bronx makes it up onto his feet but is hit with a hard spinning side kick from Luke Wolfe. Who then runs to the ropes, rebounds off of them - jumps into the air, and plants his knee into the head of Bronx!

He doesn't go for the cover like everyone else thought he would instead he turns his attention on Ryan Kidd who is by the corner, delivering some quick jabs to the jaw and flips him into a seated position before kicking his back which creates a clap that echoes through the Dome, he then kicks his front and Kidd's back is now on the canvas. Wolfe runs to the ropes but as he makes it back Bronx comes in and connects with a European uppercut. He then brings him over to the corner and takes a few steps back, running towards him and connecting with another uppercut but this time in the corner. He attempts a forearm shot but Wolfe blocks and throws him backwards and Bronx goes down to one knee.. Wolfe runs towards him and:

Shiozaki: Blue Thunder Bomb by Bronxy V!

Gozen: And the cover!

REPLAY BOARD

He then goes over to Luke Wolfe and picks him up, leading him to the other corner where he delivers a few forearm shots to the head before attempting to swing him to the corner where Bronxy V is located, but Wolfe manages to reverse it so that Kidd runs into Bronx, turning away so his back hits the chest of Bronx. Wolfe then runs towards the pair but Kidd manages to get his foot up and pushes Luke Wolfe back who stumbles to the centre of the ring. Kidd then runs towards Wolfe who connects with a spinning side kick that sends Kidd down. Kidd gets back up almost immediately but Wolfe sends him back down to the mat with an arm drag take down. The pair are both back up on their feet and Kidd goes for the enziguri but Wolfe dodges, picking Kidd back up he tightens his arms around his waist and performs a German suplex. But he doesn't release Kidd, instead he takes him on another ride with another German suplex. Kidd thinks the assaults over but Wolfe doesn't release his waist, picking him back up to perform the third and final German suplex.

The exchange between the two is met with applause from the Japanese audience and before Bronx can get over to Wolfe to hook his leg, here comes Ryan Kidd who turns him around and hits him with the codebreaker.

Shiozaki: And Ryan Kidd doesn't allow Bronx to get the pin, and hits him with a vicious codebreaker.

Sato: And Indian Deathlock bridging into a chinlock! Expert by Luke Wolfe!

Kidd is finding it so hard not to tap out as he reaches for the ropes but he is in the centre of the ring, nowhere to go and nowhere to hide. The only person that can save him now is Bronxy V, who comes out of nowhere - running towards the ropes, coming back and performing a frog splash on the stomach of Wolfe, who releases the hold immediately. Bronxy V then twirls his imaginary gun around as he gets up onto his feet, feeding off the energy of the applause that rings around the Tokyo Dome. Ryan Kidd and Luke Wolfe are both back up on their feet and Bronxy V leaps over to them, taking them both down with a clothesline. Kidd is the first up, who turns around and ducks under a high kick attempt by Bronx.

Bronx is back up and now has to fight off Luke Wolfe who is attacking him with a barrel of punches, unloading lethal shot after shot as he brings him to the corner. He hoists him up onto the top rope and joins him on the second, looking for the superplex. Kidd runs over to the scene and gets underneath Luke Wolfe, managing to powerbomb Wolfe down whilst Wolfe suplex's Bronxy V off of the top rope! Applause ensues as Kidd gets back up onto his feet and holds his arms up in the air, impressed with his own athleticism. He then covers Wolfe..

Wolfe breaks it up and drags Kidd off of Bronxy V, straightening him up he slaps him across the face, and pushes him back.

Shiozaki: Looks like we're about to have an old fashioned face off!

Sato: Luke Wolfe is one of the most disrespectful wrestlers on the planet. He didn't even acknowledge his opponents in the press conference, he doesn;'t care about anyone but himself. But then again, that's why I like him so much!

Kidd returns a slap across the face to Wolfe who doesn't react well and connects with a combination of hits on Kidd, blood continuing to sliver down his forehead and fatal blow to the head causes blood to rush down immensely. Wolfe then grabs him and tries to hit him with a DDT but Kidd lifts him up and flips him over. Wolfe gets back up and is met with The Sudden Impact super kick by Ryan Kidd!

Gozen: KIDD CONNECTS WITH THE SUDDEN IMPACT!

A kick out from Ryan Kidd. Bronxy V picks Kidd who throws his arms out and hits Bronxy V with a jab to the jaw which stuns Bronx, especially the second one.. and the third that connects, as Kidd begins to build up momentum, running to the ropes, springboarding off of them and performing a drop kick on Bronx who goes tumbling to the outside of the ring. Kidd thinks about going air borne on Bronx but Wolfe slides back into the ring and makes sure that's impossible, grabbing Kidd by the neck and throwing him over the top rope. He then grabs onto the ropes and Bronxy V is making it back up onto his feet, Wolfe leans back and springboards his way over the top rope and to the outside but lands on his feet as Bronxy V moves out of the way. Bronx runs towards Wolfe and Wolfe moves out of the way and slaps his back thinking that Bronx would collide with the apron, but Bronx manages to leap up onto the apron and performs a back flip trying to catch Wolfe but Wolfe moves out of the way. And as the two meet with hard hitting shots being exchanged between the two, Kidd has made it back into the ring and runs to the opposite ropes so that he can rebound off of them and run towards Bronx and Wolfe, flying over the top rope whilst spiralling in a corkscrew fashion, managing to catch them!

Another huge from reverberates through the air as Kidd gets up onto his feet and picks up Bronx by his hair and rolls him into the ring. Jumping onto the apron, Bronx immediately runs over to Kidd and hits him but Kidd doesn't fall off the apron. Bronx then turns him around, puts both feet on the second rope and manages to perform a German suplex on Ryan Kidd who was on the apron!

Sato: FACEBREAKER! FACEBREAKER! WOLFE CONNECTS WITH HIS FINISHING MOVE!!

REPLAY BOARD

Everyone's attention turns to the entrance ramp, as walking down the aisle is a man in a suit.

Gozen: Wait.. who's that at the top of the entrance ramp..

Shiozaki: Isn't that our new vice president.. James Kash?!

With two bottles of beers in his hand he continues to walk down the entrance ramp, his casual facial expression turning into a grin as he reaches the edge of the ring. Luke Wolfe leans over the rope and asks him what he's doing out here. Kash then holds up a bottle and walks up the ring steps and stands on the apron, opening one of the bottles with his drink and taking a sip before offering a bottle to Wolfe. Wolfe looks at him with disgust and declines, reminding Kash that he has a match to win and that his distraction is idiotic. He even calls him an idiot which makes Kash laugh, he takes another gulp.. before spits it all out in the face of Luke Wolfe!!

Gozen: What the hell?! Kash just sit in the face of Luke Wolfe!

Sato: Surely that means disqualification!

The referee Oliver Reid runs over to the scene and tells Kash that he needs to go. Kash reminds Reid that he works for him and tells him to fuck off before jumping off of the apron, mouthing to Reid; this is my house, these are my rules.

Shiozaki: His house, his rules?! We're in Japan, Kash! They don't do that sort of stuff over here!

Wolfe is blinded and turns around to Bronxy V who grabs him before hitting him with the Valescence Victory..

He covers!!

Bronx exits the ring and escapes through the crowd, the audience applauding him as he walks passed them whilst Ryan Kidd makes his way to the back by walking up the entrance ramp with his head bowed. James Kash enters the ring and looks at Luke Wolfe laid out in the middle of the ring, a smile appearing on his face as he takes another sip of his beer. Wolfe makes it up onto his feet and Kash watches him, once Wolfe is up Kash throws his beer in the face of Wolfe who stumbles around the ring, unable to get the liquid out of his eyes. Kash then prepares to use the full bottle he offered to Wolfe as a weapon, but then coming down from the entrance ramp are three hooded men which causes Kash to escape from the ring and head to the back.

Emerging from the tunnel was Hiroyoshi Suzuki, who embraced the boos of the audience, spreading his arms out wide as he went down on one knee. With a smile plastered on his face; he began to make his way down the entrance ramp, ignoring high five attempts by some of the audience members.

He hoists himself up onto the turnbuckle, and spreads his arms out wide once again, his eyes closed however a smile on his face.

O’Shea quickly makes his way back up to his feet and walks right into an atomic drop from Suzuki. O’Shea stumbles back to the ropes and is instantly caught with a European Uppercut to the jaw knocking him back into the nearest corner. Suzuki sets up across the ring and instantly charges forward looking for a flying lariat into the corner, but Suzuki meets the boots of O’Shea to the face.

NUMBER ONE CONTENDERS FOR GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP

TRIPLE THREAT MATCH

Kurt Newman vs. Shelley Silver vs. Olivia Saint

Kado: The following match is scheduled for a one fall and is a number one contenders match for the NJFC GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP!! Tsugi no shiai wa 1 aki ni yotei shi, NJFC gurōbaru CHAMPIONSHIP tame no nanbāwan kōho no shiaidesu!

The lights go low as the opening chords of "A Pain That I'm Used To" begins to play. Sloane Cameron walks out onto the stage as she holds her arm out to announce the arrival of Shelley Silver. Smoke fills the stage and Shelley appears just as a strobe light effect hits. Shelley keeps her head down for thirty seconds before she starts to bob her head to the beat and looks up with a wicked smile.

Kado: Introducing first weighing in at 155 lbs, she is the leader of the Raindrops and a member of Project: CHAOS... Shelley Silver! Keiosu... Sherīshirubā: 155-Pondo no omo-sa, kanojo wa uteki no rīdā to purojekuto no menbādearimasu!

She slowly walks down the ramp with Sloane by her side, high fiving some of the fans. Once she gets to the ring, she sits on the apron for a few seconds as the camera zooms in on her face as she mouths along to the title of the song as it is sang during the chorus.

Gozen: Silver is a former EWC United States Champion who is looking to make a global rise in the game. She literally came in out of nowhere last year, took the US title and surprised many wrestling fans with her performances.

Shiozaki: Her second year as a pro and she'll be looking to add my gold to the accolades, more gold specifically in NJFC!

She swings her head around with a seductive glare in her eyes before sliding under the bottom rope as the lights go up once more.

The arena erupts with cheers as Voodoo Child by Stevie Ray Vaughn begins to play throughout the arena. Kurt makes his way out with a cocky smile on his face as billions of flashes from cameras from the fans cover him. With that cocky smile on his face Kurt motions with his hands for the fans to cheer even louder. Quickly following Kurt is Alyssa Devine who holds the Awesome Title. Taking Kurt by the arm Alyssa escorts Kurt Newman down to the ring.

Kado: Making his way to the ring, weighing in a 220lbs! Coming from Chicago Illinois…..he is The Big Bad Voodoo Daddy……..KURT NEWMAN! Ringu ni kare no hōhō o tsukuru 220 lbs de keiryō! Irinoi-shū Shikago kara kita... Biggubaddovūdo~ūdadi... ... .. KURT NEWMAN.. Hedesu

Standing on the ring apron, Kurt sits on the middle rope and watches as Alyssa bends over and makes her way through the rope but stops just as her butt is inches away from Kurt’s crotch. Kurt bites his hand and stares as Alyssa’s butt as it goes back and forth in front of him. Alyssa gives a sexy smile to the camera and blows a kiss before entering the ring.

Sato: Kurt Newman made quite the statement at Global Takeover when he came out after Bonecrusher won the title, and attacked him and Stefan Raab. Newman obviously believes he should have that Global title and tonight, is his chance to redeem a shot at it.

Shiozaki: It's going to be no easy task as he's going to be taking on Project CHAOS stable mates, who could work together on this one.

Kurt quickly flips into the ring and stands in the middle of the ring with his arms out raised in the sky as the crowd throws hundreds of colorful streamers of different colors into the ring. Kurt claps his hands in celebration as he quickly grabs the Awesome Title from Alyssa and jumps to a nearby ring post and lifts up the Awesome Title up in the air to show off the titles to the masses.

Jumping off the turnbuckle, Kurt kisses the title before handing them over to Alyssa. As the stage crew pulls all the streamers out of the ring, Alyssa makes her way out of the ring leaving Kurt standing in a corner ready for this match.

Shiozaki: And here comes The Future, Olivia Saint!

The opening of Freak Like by Halestorm plays on the PA and when the guitar kicks in Olivia Saint comes out kneeling on the entrance ramp before the lyrics begin and making her way to the ring

I’m on the train that’s pullin the sick and twisted,

Makin the most of the ride before we get arrested,

We’re all wasted,

And we’re not going home tonight.

Kado: Making her way to the ring.. from Los Angeles California weighing in a 107 pounds.. The Future, Olivia Saint! 107-Pondo.. Kongo, oribiasan ni keiryō Rosanzerusu Kariforunia kara ringu.. Ni kanojo no hōhō o tsukurimasu!

"Covered in black we lack the social graces,

Just like an animal we crawl out of our cages,

They can’t tame us,

So if you’re one of us, get on the bus"

Sato: Olivia Saint is the underdog going into this match!

Shiozaki: After her showing at Global Takeover, I wouldn't count her out!

Olivia is in the ring and pumping her fist as the audience applaud her as she sings the chorus, but her theme song dies down and the lights in the arena brighten and the fun energetic mood of Olivia has seemingly deteriorated as now, she’s focused on the task ahead. She looks at her opponents who look back at her, she nods her head over at Shelley Silver, who does the same to her. She then looks over at Kurt Newman who has a grin on his face, from ear to ear, he winks at her before looking at Shelley Silver and winking at her too.

Gozen: Kurt Newman already putting on the charms before this one has even begun!

The bell sounds and this one is under way with the three competitors circling the ring and approaching the circle, extending their arms out so that they can wrist lock but suddenly Kurt Newman deceives them and sends his foot towards Shelley Silver, driving it into her stomach before he gets her in a head lock. Olivia Saint tries to help out her Project CHAOS companion, trying to attack Newman who pushes her back with his other foot. Shelley manages to push Newman off but Newman goes flying into Saint with a hard shoulder barge. Newman turns around and Shelley hits him with punch to the face, pushing him against the ropes as she hits him with repetitive forearm shots. Saint turns her around and hits her with a few forearm shots of her own before taking a few steps back before engaging with a combination of jabs to the jaw. She brings her to the ropes and Irish whips her to the opposite one and on her way back hits her with a drop kick. Saint looks down at Silver but is then attacked by Newman from behind, who flips her into a seated position before slapping her across the back, the slap creating a clap which he smiles to the sound of. He then kicks her front and heads to the ropes, bouncing back and jumping up in the air and connecting with a frog splash. He turns around and Shelley catches him with head scissors takedown which she gets applause for performing. Newman is laying on his back and Shelley heads to the ropes, bounces back to perform the move that Newman delivered to Saint, a standing frog splash.

Shiozaki: Very fast and very vicious star from these three! A great opening sequence.

Saint is back up on her feet and Shelley is being hit with knife edge chops to the chest before grabbing her by the head, she now has Shelley in a bulldog position. She turns around so that she is facing Newman, she runs towards him but Shelley is able to slip away, having to duck under the arm of Newman, Saint hits the ropes. Newman dives to the mat to try and trip her up but Saint leaps over him but is then caught with a drop kick by Shelley Silver. Newman turns around and is also met with a drop kick from Silver, who gets up and raises her arm up. Shelley grabs Saint and picks her up, throwing her over to the ropes and when she comes back, she ducks under a clothesline from Saint to get in behind her, her belly against the back of Saint she then lifts her up and hits her with a suplex. Saint rolls out of the ring and Silver turns her attention to Kurt Newman, hitting him with a quick forearm shot as she brings him to the centre of the ring. She holds onto his neck before twisting it round and hitting him with a swinging neck breaker. She picks him up and attempts to hit him with it again but Newman isn’t having it and manages to reverse the situation, lifting her up in the air and performing a snap suplex. He gets up and plays to the crowd who applaud him for his efforts.

Shiozaki: The showsman Kurt Newman at it again after that quick snap suplex on Shelley Silver!

He then walks over to a downed Shelley by the corner and drives his knee into her face. Bringing her up, he Irish whips her to the opposite corner before following, before he connects Olivia Saint leaps onto the apron next to Shelley and manages to club Newman round the head with her bare fist, springboarding herself onto the top rope and flying across to hit Newman with a drop kick! Shelley heads over to Saint and hits her with a forearm shot before throwing her out of the ring. Shelley looks like she’s about to go air borne as she quickly checks the position of Olivia Saint before turning around to run to the ropes but Newman stops her with a punishing roundhouse kick. Newman then goes over to the ropes, grabbing onto them, looking to fly out towards Saint who quickly gets up and walks away. Newman gets onto the apron and Saint has her back against him, she turns around and is met with a boot to the chest by Newman who is still on the apron, turning around and looking like he wants to hit a moonsault. Shelley Silver runs towards Newman and hits him with a super kick that sends him crashing to the outside and next to Saint. Silver then runs to the ropes, bounces back and manages to perform a suicide dive to land on both Saint and Newman as the audience applaud her for her efforts as she gets back up onto her feet.

Shiozaki: SUICIDE DIVE BY SHELLEY SILVER!

Gozen: And the Tokyo Dome is rocking!

She grabs Saint and throws her into the barricade; Newman has made it into the ring and Silver notices this and slides into the ring. Newman is by the corner, in a seated position and Shelley charges at him, hitting him with the bronco buster which sends applause ringing through the dome. As she gets off of him, a grin is seen on the face of Newman, who obviously enjoyed the experience. Shelley then grabs Saint by his leg and drags him to the centre of the ring, locking him into the STF submission hold!

Gozen: She's got an STF Submission hold intact!

Sato: She's got it locked so tightly too, Newman better hope Saint can do something about it!

Newman struggles as he reaches out for the ropes with Shinobu Ichii coming down to her knees and asking Newman if he wants to quit but he shakes his head and grunts. Olivia Saint slides into the ring and breaks it up, heading over to the apron once again, near Shelley is situated. She slingshots her way in and lands an elbow on Shelley Silver before paying attention to Newman who’s in the corner, she runs at him and attempts a splash in the corner but Newman moves out of the way and Saint connects with no one but the padded corner. She turns around and a knife edge chop is delivered by Kurt Newman, followed by another, which is followed by another. He swings her over to the opposite corner where he meets her with a big splash and she slumbers down, with Newman then scraping his boot on her face repeatedly with the referee counting as Saint has hold of the rope. Newman turns out before turning back towards her and drives his boot into the face of Saint. Newman goes over to Shelley Silver who is by the corner and Irish whips her to the other corner but she reveres, she then runs at Newman attempting a splash but Newman grabs her and sends her down to the mat with a massive slam by the corner.

He walks away from the scene with a smile as he stretches his arms out, unaware of Saint who is on the apron, but once he is aware he quickly runs at her but she drives he shoulders into his mid section, once.. and then twice.. and then a third time. She gets up onto the first rope and attempts to suplex Newman to the outside but Newman is too big for her. Newman manages to slip out of it and forearm hit her down so she lands on the outside. He turns around and see’s that Shelley Silver is running towards him, rolls out of the way and Shelley manages to improvise and launch herself over the top rope and out of the ring, flipping over the top rope and landing on Saint. Saint and Shelley slowly make it up onto their feet but they can’t get away from what’s coming to them as Kurt Newman flies between the ropes and lands on both of them, performing a suicide dive.

Sato: AND KURT NEWMAN WITH A SUICIDE DIVE!

Daniels stands tall as Storm quickly connects with right and left hand strikes, followed up with left and right kick strikes to the shins of Daniels. Storm than catches Daniels across the face out of nowhere with a spinning backfist and than instantly takes him down to the mat with a roaring clothesline taking him down to the mat. 

Nakano Gozen: That was one very impessive combination from Mark Storm.

Takao Sato: He’s taken everything he has learned from working around the world and finely tuned his wrestling skills.

Korato Shiozuki: Skills might I add that have developed into that amazing combination we just witnessed.

PRESS CONFERENCE REPLAY

Stefan Raab: "But little do people know, I'm willing to do everything I can to win and the only time I'll use a ladder is to set it up to climb up to the top to capture the Global title. I'm hungry and determinded to win the Global title and here's another thing to take note of, I've won all, but one title match in my career which I'm quite proud of and it's all down to the massive amount of training I do before each match, but I push myself so much harder to win titles because every title win I've had in my career means a lot and I know this Global title will mean a lot more because of how much presige the title value has over others I've held before and more so my opponent who's so respected that I have to be on my complete A game and he'll see for real what I can actually do and most of all, overcome my weaknesses of fears of looking at a weapon, let alone using one which is why I have something to put on my face here."

Stefan gets something out of his pocket as it was the blue and white mask he wears while he wrestles as he places it over his face as he drinks all the water in the bottle to speak once more.

Stefan Raab: "I feel I have to push my limits a lot with this match and I will upset all the odds, knowing now I'm a complete underdog which is a very nice feeling to have because I've never felt like this in a very long time and I will show the whole world that the least experienced wrestler with ladder matches to accomplish this goal of climbing the ladder to become the new NJFC Global Champion. Can Johnny Bonecrusher break the German Ice Block? Who knows because his time as champion is nearly over as I will raise the crystal ice belt above my head, achieving everything I need to do in the ladder match."

It's all Stefan had to say as he stands up and leaves the conference room to sign autographs and pictures for the fans before heading back to the hotel to do a lot of gym work for twenty four hours.

GLOBAL CHAMPION: JOHNNY BONECRUSHER

Johny Bonecrusher: Fuck.

Some of the people in the audience have a chuckle at what surely was an intentionally lighthearted moment.

Johny Bonecrusher: It's, uh, at this time that The Johnny asks if anyone has any questions.

Many hands go up. Johnny points out a Japanese woman in a black and blue business suit.

Johny Bonecrusher: Black and blue over there.

Japanese Reporter (translated into English via an interpreter): <Asami Sasaki, Chunichi Shimbun. You're not a fan of Ladder Matches. How will you combat your distaste of such high-risk matches when so much is on the line?>

Johnny nods as if agreeing with what the reporter was saying.

Johny Bonecrusher: It's true that Yours Truly isn't keen on climbing ladders to win matches, but I'm just betting my opponent isn't either. I've just gotta be a bit faster than him, a bit nimbler on my feet, and whammo, my first title defense is in the bag. I'm not looking forward to the eventual falling off that God-damn ladder though.

More polite chuckling from the audience.

Johnny Bonecrusher: Anyone else?

More hands fly up. Johnny points out a foreigner this time, dressed in a black and white suit with a piano tie.

Johnny Bonecrusher: Piano tie, go.

German Reporter (also translated into English via an interpreter): <Heinrich Schmidt, Die Zeit. You're taking on one of Germany's biggest wrestling stars at the biggest event of the year in the NJFC. With the pressure on like that, honestly, how do you think you will fare?>

Johnny looks confused at the question.

Johnny Bonecrusher: Are you expecting me to bet against myself? I know the heat's on me, man! But little do you know that that's when I'm pedal to the metal, full-throttle, in your face, and a bunch of other things that translate poorly into other languages! Being a part of Stardom, being part of a title match, being part of a match against the legendary Stefan Raab, none of that's lost on me. I'm done.

And with that, The Johnny leaves the podium, but sticks around to hear everyone else's speeches.

MATCH 10

NJFC GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP

LADDERS MATCH

Johnny Bonecrusher (c)  vs. Stefan Raab

Kado: The following match is a ladder match for the NJFC GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP! Tsugi no shiai wa NJFC gurōbaru CHAMPIONSHIP tame no radāmatchidesu!

The NJFC Championship hangs above the ring as the cameras cut back to ring side, the NJFC Global Championship has been returned ever since being taken away by Nurse Kinsley at Global Takeover.

Shiozaki: The NJFC Global Championship hangs in the balance. Its finally returned after being stolen away from us. But we've got to remember, Johnny Bonecrusher is only signed to NJFC under Global Champion obligations, other than that he is merely a guest. Whilst Raab on the other hands has signed a non exclusive deal as a regular member of the roster. The Pre-Millennium Wrestler takes on The Iceman Stefan Raab in a ladders match for that title right there.

Cold as Ice by M.O.P plays over the sound system as Stefan comes out through the curtain just wearing his blue and white mask with white hair along with his wrestling trousers with his nickname The Iceman on the front of them with Pit Bull Energy logos on the side of his trousers with black gloves on both of his hands.

Kado: Introducing the challenger.. from Cologne, Germany - weighing in a 230 pounds! The Iceman.. STEFAN RAAB! 230-Pondo de keiryō - Kerun, Doitsu kara no chōsen.. O go shōkai! Aisuman.. STEFAN RAAB!

He high fives the fans as he goes up the stairs before going in-between the ropes and does a holdup on each turnbuckle and everyone cheers him as he does a few boxing punches to the cameras before he looks at his opponent waiting for the match to start.

Gozen: Raab talked about during the press conference how he's worked so hard for everything he has accomplished in this profession. He spends countless amounts of hours in the ring, working on his craft.

Sato: That sort of work ethic is what makes you a champion.

The Black Halos' "Some Things Never Fall" begins to play, and no sooner does it begin than Canada's Greatest Athlete himself bursts through the curtains with authority. He stands at the base of the ramp, takes a knee and flexes, then stands back up raising his fist high and proudly in the air accompanied by a "YEAH!!!", further exciting the fans!

Kado: And his opponent.. from New Westminster, British Columbia, Canada - weighing in a 230 pounds.. He is The Pre-Millennium Wrestler, The Johnimant Species, King Shit on Fuck Mountain... and the NJFC GLOBAL CHAMPION - JOHNNY BONECRUSHER! Jonī BONECRUSHER - 230-pondo de keiryō ga.. Kare wa puremireniamuresurā, Johnimant-shu,-ō kuso fakku yama no... Soshite NJFC gurōbaru CHAMPIONdesu!

He then proceeds to make his way down the aisle. As he passes by the ringside fans, he doles out as many bird flips as he does autographs, like a cross between Stone Cold and Hulk Hogan!

Shiozaki: The NJFC Global Champion Johnny Bonecrusher with his first defense as champion tonight.

Sato: Crusher showed a lot of respect towards Raab at the press conference and referred to him as a legend. Gotta love the respect that these two have shown towards each other. But inside that four sided ring, when the bell rings and the game is on - respect goes out the window and the only thing that is on your mind, is winning the match.

The fans return the bird-flips, a standard mutual show of respect these days and not at all a pale rip-off of the aforementioned Stone Cold. He quickly makes his way down the remainder of the ramp, slides under the bottom ropes and into the ring and clasps his hands in anticipation for the massacre that's about to occur to either his opponent... or himself!

The two look at one another from across the ring as the official steps into the ring and reminds the two men of the rules of the match, and the audience applaud as the two men acknowledge the crowd, looking around the Tokyo Dome as they glare at it's beauty. The two then shake hands after the referee insists they do.

Shiozaki: This is it! The Global Championship on the line!

Sato: Let's get it going!

The bell rings and the two slowly walk around the ring with their eyes fixated on one another before meeting in the middle of the ring but not engaging as they continue to look at one another, nodding their heads as a sign of respect before suddenly Bonecrusher engages with a forearm shot, but Raab immediately returns with one to Bonecrusher and the two engage in a forearm shot warfare, exchanging blows to the mid section and the head and everywhere possible. Bonecrusher then manages to take control as he gets consecutive hits on Raab getting him by the corner where he attempts to swing him to the opposite corner but Raab twists the arm of Bonecrusher, and hits him with a forearm shot as he takes Bonecrusher to the corner now. He then grabs him by the arm and brings him to the middle of the ring, taking him down with an arm drag that creates a thud when Bonecrusher hits the canvas.

Bonecrusher rolls over to the corner and helps himself up whilst Raab runs over to him and hits him with a yakuza kick. Bonecrusher stumbles out of the corner and Raab runs to the ropes, rebounding off of them and hits him with a clothesline. Bonecrusher rolls to the outside in an attempt to have some resting time, leaning against the barricade with his back facing the ring. Raab gets onto the apron and waits for Bonecrusher to turn around, and when he does, Raab flies off of the apron and hits him with a clothesline!

Sato: Raab with a clothesline from the apron to the outside on Johnny Bonecrusher!

Raab gets up and embraces the applause from the audience, a grin on his face as he looks at the ladder set up by the steel barricade. He grabs the ladder and throws it over the top rope and into the ring, but before he can get himself into the ring he has to fight off Crusher who has a hold of his leg, managing to yank Raab down to the mat outside and lock him in an ankle lock out of nowhere! Raab screams in pain as Crusher tightens the hold as he gets up onto his feet, wrenching the ankle of Raab who slowly manages to turn around so his back is on the ground, and use his other leg to kick Crusher off of him. JBC brings him back up onto his feet and hits him with some fierce right hands before launching him into the steel barricade, walking around the ring carelessly as he looks for a weapon. He see's a steel chair and picks it up, walking back over to Raab who is resting on the apron. JBC lifts the chair up and strikes for Raab, who moves out of the way and JBC connects the steel chair with the apron.

Shiozaki: Raab almost got clobbered with that chair!

Gozen: Good job he got out of the way just in time.

JBC turns around and Raab meets him with some boxing punches, jabs to the jaw, JBC drops the chair and tries to break it up with a swing of his arm, but Raab ducks under it and delivers a right hook that sends JBC backwards into the barricade. Raab then runs towards JBC who moves out of the way and Raab connects with the barricade. JBC then grabs the steel chair he tried to use earlier and turns back around to Raab who is making a move, using the barricade to get back up. JBC tries another strike but Raab toe kicks him in the gut, grabs the chair and throws it away before delivering a DDT on JBC on the outside!

Sato: JBC must have a headache or a concussion after that DDT!

JBC holds onto his head and Raab is gradually getting back up onto his feet. Raab grabs JBC and slams his head onto the apron before rolling him into the ring. He rolls himself into the ring and looks at the ladder that is already in the ring from when he threw it in there earlier. He grabs it, positions it in the middle of the ring and begins the climb. JBC is up in a shot and runs towards the ladder, grabbing the leg of Raab to yank him down and back onto the canvas.

He connects with a series of chops to the chest, a variety of chops as he corners Raab with the repeated chops. He then swings Raab to the opposite corner, before running at him and splashes him in the corner. Raab stumbles out of the corner and JBC gets behind him, performing a back rake which has Raab arching his back. He then turns him around and lifts him into the air to perform a spinebuster. He embraces the cheers from the audience, exiting the ring to collect a series of weapons, throwing another ladder into the equation as well as a steel chair and a table.

He then enters the ring and by the time he does Raab is up and is walking towards JBC who is quick to attack with shots to the mid section. He then swings him to the corner while he sets up a ladder in the opposite corner. JBC turns his attention back to Raab, running towards him and connecting with a splash in the corner. He then grabs him by the arm and attempts to Irish whip him into the opposite corner where the ladder is and Raab connects hard with the ladder. JBC then goes over to Raab, getting him into a powerbomb position, and powerbombing him into the ladder by the corner!

Shiozaki: AND A POWERBOMB INTO THE LADDER IN THE CORNER BY JOHNNY BONECRUSHER!

Gozen: They just snapped the ladder in half!

Applause ensues around the Tokyo Dome as JBC pounds his fist on his chest. JBC exits the ring and gets another ladder, leaning one side of the ladder on the ring apron and another side on the steel barricade. He then enters the ring and sets up a table by the ropes before using the other ladder in the ring to begin his climb. JBC makes it to the top and reaches for the title but coming from the other side is Raab who connects with a jab to the jaw which stuns JBC who is unbalanced. Raab hits him again before grabbing him and performing a suplex off the ladder, to the outside and both men go crashing into the ladder JBC had set up!

Shiozaki: NO WAY! NO WAY! NO WAY DID THAT JUST HAPPEN!

Gozen: THAT WAS INSANE!

The Tokyo Dome explodes with applause as the two men roll onto their sides as the official comes to check on them. The two are out for around two minutes before Raab makes the first movement, slouching his body over the apron as he uses it to get back up. He looks inside the ring and see's one ladder situated in the center, another ladder destroyed in the corner before looking behind him to look at the carnage that has been created. He then turns to JBC who is beginning to make some movements, holding onto the barricade. Raab heads over to him and connects with some European uppercuts before landing a spinebuster to the outside.

He rolls himself into the ring and crawls over to the ladder but despite being spinebustered literally seconds ago, JBC is up and rolls himself into the ring. He gets onto the crawling Raab and locks him in a Boston crab. With Raab struggling as the referee see's if he's okay. JBC releases the hold and pushes the ladder away from the center of the ring, bringing the table he had set up earlier to the centre of the ring. He then grabs Raab and swings him to the ropes, he rebounds and is lifted up into the air, spun around and slammed through the table by an epic spinebuster performed by JBC!

Sato: AND RAAB IS THROUGH THE TABLE AFTER THAT SPINEBUSTER BY JOHNNY BONECRUSHER!

JBC gets up and soaks in the applause, kicking the remains of the table to the outside as he grabs the ladder he moved away and brings it back to the middle of the ring. JBC begins the climb and once he is at the top begins to reach for the title but Raab is up once again and grabs JBC by the leg to bring him back down to the canvas, it is the, when Raab begins a combination of strikes to JBC, a jab to the jaw, another jab followed by a kick to the leg and to the opposite leg followed by a clothesline when sends JBC flipping inside out! He runs to the ropes and on his way back connects with a senton before getting back up immediately and climbing up the corner, performing a frog splash on JBC.

Raab has suddenly had a surge of life as he gets back up onto his feet and brings JBC up with him, bringing him to the corner where he connects with punishing chop, after chop, hit after hit, kick after kick before powerbombing him into the corner. He looks at the ladder and begins the climb, reaching for the championship belt, so close to unhooking it but JBC pushes the ladder but Raab manages to land on his feet. JBC runs towards Raab but Raab ducks under the arm as JBC runs to the opposite ropes, on his way back is hit with a drop kick by Stefan Raab.

He comes back up onto his feet only to be taken down with an arm drag by Raab who then picks him up and hits him with a body slam performing a leg lariat shortly afterwards. JBC rolls towards the ropes but Raab catches him with a kick to the back, bringing him back up onto his feet where he connects with a barrel of shots to the head, clotheslining him to the outside. Exiting the ring, Raab grabs him by the head and slams it against the apron. Attempting this again, JBC manages to block it and slam the head of Raab on the apron instead which stuns Raab who stumbles backwards. JBC then connects with a massive right hand which sends Raab to the floor. He then grabs Raab and throws him into the steel guard rail and takes some big steps backwards, looking at the audience before looking back at Raab and running at him with full pace - driving his knee into the face of Raab.

JBC then walks around the outside of the ring and high-fives the fans, getting a huge pop as he makes his way back round to Raab, looking at him and driving his knee into his face again. He then points at the championship belt and gets a massive pop as he looks at it, rolling into the ring and re-positioning the ladder. Raab manages to stumble his way to the apron and roll himself into the ring. Grabbing the ankle of JBC, yanking him off of the ladder and locking him into his finishing move known as the Ice Lock, an ankle lock!

Shiozaki: THE ICE-LOCK! STEFAN RAAB HAS HIM IN THE ICE LOCK!

Bonecrusher is struggling, slamming the canvas hard but this isn't a submission match or a standard match where tapping out matters, this is a ladders match and Bonecrusher can't escape this! Raab tightens the hold, falling onto his back as he wrenches the ankle and winces, his eyes squinting as he applies as much pressure as he possibly can!

Sato: He's gonna break his ankle!

Raab then releases the hold and Bonecrusher looks pretty much done and out of this one, but Raab isn't making any movements too, exhausted by the amount of pressure, exhausted by the fight shown by Bonecrusher. Exhausted by the situation as a whole. Raab then crawls over to the ropes and uses it to help himself up onto his feet. He goes over to the ladder and begins the climb..

He climbs..

And climbs.

And climbs.

Reaching the top he has his hands on the title!

Gozen: We're about to have a new Global Champion!

But JBC is up!

Shiozaki: JOHNNY BONECRUSHER IS BACK UP ON HIS FEET!

He hops his way over to the ladder and leans against it, trying to push it over but it doesn't work. He then decides to begin his climb up the ladder, joining Raab on the top of the ladder as the two battle it out on the top. Raab still has his hand on the title and is using his other hand to throw punches at JBC, who ducks under the arm, grabbing Raab by his head and headbutting him! Raab falls back but has one arm gripping onto the ladder. JBC then climbs up and throws a right hook towards Raab - and connects! Raab is down! Raab is down!

Shiozaki: JBC MAY HAVE JUST KNOCKED STEFAN RAAB OUT!

Sato: AND JUST WHEN WE THOUGHT WE WERE GONNA CROWN A NEW CHAMPION!

Johnny Bonecrusher reaches for the title, unhooking it, he retains and the bell rings!!

Shiozaki: JOHNNY BONECRUSHER HAS DONE IT! HE'S RETAINED THE NJFC GLOBAL CHAMPIONSHIP!

Bonecrusher holds onto the title, bringing it to his chest as his theme song begins to play and applause echoes through the Tokyo Dome as streamers come from each corner of the ring and confetti falls from the heavens. Johnny Bonecrusher holds his championship belt up high with a massive smile on his face.

Kado: AND THE WINNER OF THE MATCH.. AND STILL THE NJFC GLOBAL CHAMPION OF THE WORLD, JOHNNNNYYYY BONEEEECRUSSSSHEER! Soshite, mada shiai no shōsha.. To sekai no NJFC gurōbaru CHAMPION, JOHNNNNYYYY BONEEEECRUSSSSHEER!

Winner: JOHNNY BONECRUSHER (14:11)

[James Peterson]

PRESS CONFERENCE REPLAY

Jason P. Davidson: Of course he'll come up here and tell you different. He'll come out here with some twisted ass reason on why this time will be any different than the last time. He'll try to make you believe that he actually stands a chance or that he has this match in the bag. He'll tell you that I have a choice... whether it be tap out or...

Jason narrows his eyes and looks towards Pariah.

Jason P. Davidson: What was it? Tap out or Tickle me? That's right, Hashtag it, make it real John. The point is John that you're outclassed, outmatched, and when it's all said and done? You're going to wish you had retired each of the previous 37 times you announced it before. 

Jason turns back towards the media.

Jason P. Davidson: You've all seen the news, heard about the partnerships and affiliates that this place is gain by the day. This isn't just some small little promotion that people won't remember in three months. This is a brand, a powerhouse, a force of nature in the Mecca of professional wrestling here in Japan and me? I'm the fucking leader of the pack, I'm the main fucking attraction and I'm King of the fucking court. Whether it be wrestlers from Japan, from NGW, IPW, UWL or anywhere else in the world. They are going to be coming here. They would going to be staking their claim and trying to be the man that becomes the GPC World Heavyweight Champion. But not because of John Pariah, Johnny Bonethumper or anyone else on this stage.

Jason shakes his head.

Jason P. Davidson: It's because they all will want to be the first to slay the undefeated monster that is Jason P. Davidson and claim the GPC World Heavyweight Championship as their own. So be it next month, after the match or even during it I dare each and everyone single one of you to try and stop. Try and defy my date with destiny. Try and stop me from winning what is rightfully mine because I am the stick in which the rest of you will be measured and once Stardom is over.. you will all bow down to the King as he rules over his kingdom with an iron fist.

REPLAY FROM JOHN PARIAH PROMO

Pariah: This Revival Jace, isn’t about buying bat mobiles or anything like that. It’s about growing, it’s about changing. It’s about proving to the world over that I can still go with the absolute best in class-because I am still the best in class. My work in Boardwalk has proven it! That’s why I’m coming back to NJFC…because I still have one more thing to prove.

[He lets out a small chuckle, looking for the words.]

Pariah: Not to you Jason, not even to the fans-but to myself. I have to prove that I’m better than you. That I can come back from defeat-and beat you. You want to end me? You want to force me into retirement. This industry is like a cancer Jason-it never fully goes away, just into remission. It never really leaves your system Jason. It’s not something that can just be eradicated. You want to try and force me down that rabbit hole? Be my guest Jason. You’ll have to get in line though, because I know you’re not the only one who wants to do that! You’re not the only one who wants to see me fail, who wants to see me walk away. That’s something I won’t do Jason. I don’t care if I have to die in that ring! And Jace, as far as this being your territory, your Kingdom….

[He smirks.]

Pariah: What’s a King to a God? I’ve always fancied myself something of a savior. So Jason, I’ll ask you again; What is a King to a God? Because to me-you’re nothing. You’ll never be anything in my eyes but Lee Best’s side bitch. When he gets bored with his son up his ass, he turns to you for a little Netflix and Chill. Probably when he actually feels like being the dominant one in the relationship. These sings you say Jace, they don’t have the effect you think they will-because I have zero doubt in my mind IF I can beat you…its just a question of how. Right now though, it doesn’t matter. If I knock you out-or you tap out. Either way-I’m leaving the Tokyo Dome with the GPC World Championship. Just like in just a few hours-I’m leaving Atlantic City with a victory over Noah Hanson-and advancing in the Boardwalk Cup.

[He stands up and glares into the camera, putting his hand out like a gun.]

Pariah: Saa, omae no tsumi o kazoero! Jace, count up your sins-and prepare for a walk through hell.

[He smirks as we go black] 

---

Shiozaki: It's time for the biggest match of the year on the biggest stage of the year, the one that we've all been patiently waiting for. We're going to crown our first GPC Heavyweight Champion here tonight! And what an opportunity these two men have here tonight, what a journey they've both been on, on their way to STARDOM I.

Sato: These two have had a rivalry that has gone on for quite some time now, since Collision Course when these two met in the tournament final with Jace Davidson being the victory in the match. But Pariah has had his time away and has been building up to this moment, possibly the biggest match of the veterans career. Jace Parker Davidson versus John Pariah at STARDOM I!

GPC WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP

SINGLES MATCH

Jason P Davidson vs. John Pariah

The arena lights go out, and a voice is heard as strobe lights flash around the arena.

WHERE THERE IS LIGHT

SHADOWS LURK, AND FEAR REIGNS

BUT BY THE BLADE OF KNIGHTS

MANKIND…IS GIVEN HOPE…

Time’s up! Haritsumerareta

Strained at seijaku no naka de

Warning jaaku na kage ga ugomeku

Cant’s stop! Koko made kitara

Fight out! Tomaranai

Tsuki no hadou kaze no sign shinobiyoru majuu!

The words “ICONIC” and “JAPANS MOST WANTED” flash on the screen-amongst imagery of a golden armored warrior.

Chi ni ueta yatsu no toiki

Saa tachimukae onore ga sono inochi wo moyashitsukuse Garo

The word “PARIAH” shows up on the screen-and a wall of golden pyro shoots up from the entrance, as JAM Project’s “Trigger of Crisis” hits the PA system and the crowd in the Tokyo Dome explode.

Yami wo saku raikou! Massugu ni sono ikari wo

Ai wo mamoru chikai! Nani mo osorezu

Mada shiranai michi no chikara wo kakuseishita power wo

Tokihanate mirai he habatake

Fukinukeru kaze ni nare Garo

The crowd roar as a man in a black long hooded jacket walks out onto the stage. He puts his hands forward in a gun pose, and acts as if he’s firing them off as pyro shoots up behind him and down the ramp. He throws his hood back-and the crowd explodes. John Pariah head down the ramp-as the lights reflect the gold trim to his jacket. He poses on the ring apron-doing the gun taunt again, as he unhooks his jacket. His long tights mirror the jackets black and gold patterns, with kanji for “SINNER. SAINT. SAVIOR” down one leg, and the art work of a golden wolf on the other. He climbs into the ring and poses on the ropes as the music fades out, and he awaits his introduction.

Shiozaki: John Pariah is undoubtedly one of the best wrestlers in the world. He has accomplished everything you can accomplish, has reached the heights that no other wrestler has reached before, and has cemented his name into wrestling history. John Pariah tonight has a massive opportunity to become the GPC Heavyweight Champion, the first champion but it won't be an easy task at all because John Pariah isn't taking on any one, he's taking on someone who matches him. He's taking on the monster that is Jace Davidson. 

Sato: Jace talked about how Pariah doesn't deserve to be in the main event at STARDOM I, but I completely disagree with him. John Pariah is a worthy contender and opponent for Jace, despite what he may think. With REINA Reiko gone, John Pariah I believe was the only opponent capable of challenging for the GPC Heavyweight title.

The lights in the arena go pitch black as the fans slowly rise up to their feet. The opening cords of "Onto The Next One" by Jay-Z featuring Swizz Beatz fills the arena as the big screen lights up. A loud mixture of boo's and cheers rains down from the jam packed arena as Jason P. Davidson slowly strides his way out on stage.

I got a million ways to get it
Choose one (choose one)
Hey, bring it back (bring it back)
Now double your money and make a stack

Jason has on a long black leather trench coat and has both of wrists taped up while shaking them out loosely at his sides. He hops in place a little bit looking out at the crowd who continues to scream both hatred and affection towards him before raising his arms high into air as pyro shoots off on either side of him on the stage.

I’m on to the next one
On to the next one
On to the next one
On to the next one
On to the next one
On to the next one
On to the next one

Hold up, freeze
Somebody bring me back some money please,

He slowly his arms and slowly begins to stride his way down towards the ring as fans reach over the barricades trying to touch him or his trench coat as he walks by. Once close to the ring Jason sprints the rest of the way before sliding under the bottom rope to enter the ring. He pops up to his feet and charges over to the nearest turnbuckle climbing it in a single bound.

He raises his arms into the air once again and roars to the crowd as flashbulbs go off all over the building and streamers are thrown towards the ring. Jason hops down off the turnbuckle before taking off his trench coat and tosses it over the top rope while kicking away all the streamers that now litter the canvas of the ring.

The two look at each other from across the ring, applause ensuing as the two men can't take their eyes off one another as Mai Kado enters the ring.

Kado: Ladies and Gentlemen.. this is your MAIN EVENT of STARDOM and it is for the GPC HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP! Go resseki no minasama.. Kore wa, sutādamu no anata no mein ibentodeari, soreha, GPC hebī-kyū chanpiondesu!

Echoes of applause in the Tokyo Dome ensue as Kado finishes her sentence, Pariah and Davidson continuing to both looking at each other from across the ring.

Kado: Introducing first, to my left.. Watashi no hidari ni, saisho ni shōkai..

She points to her left and hopping on the spot is John Pariah.

Kado: He is from Chicago Illinois and weighs in a two hundred and twenty six pounds.. a former REDEFINE PRO WRESTLING WORLD CHAMPION.. a former PWX HYBRID CHAMPION.. THE KING OF WRESTLING - THE ICONIC; JOHNNNNNN PARIAAAAHHHHHH! Kare wa, Irinoi-shū Shikago shusshin de, 226-pondo de omo-sa.. Kyū REDEFINE puroresu WORLD CHAMPION.. Zensha PWX haiburiddo CHAMPION.. Resuringu kingu - aikonikku. JOHNNNNNN PARIAAAAHHHHHH!

Pariah gets a massive pop from the audience as he raises his arms up, heading over to the corner where he hoists himself up onto the second rope and raises his arms up again, a look of seriousness on his face as he jumps down and turns towards his opponent Jason P Davidson, who looks back at him almost with disgust.

Kado: And his opponent to my right.. Watashi no migi e to kare no taisen aite..

The camera shows Jason P Davidson jumping on the spot with a smirk upon his lip, his smirk disappearing as he gets serious and turns towards the audience, nodding his head as Kado continues.

Kado: He is from New York City, New York and weighs in a two hundred and forty seven pounds.. a former HIGH OCTANE WRESTLING WORLD CHAMPION.. the two thousand and fifteen winner of the COLLISION COURSE TOURNAMENT; THE CONQUEROR - THE KING OF EVERYTHING, JASSSSOOOONNNNNN DAAAVIDDSSSSOONNN! Kare wa, nyūyōku, nyūyōku-shū kara no monodeari, 247-pondo de omo-sa.. Kyū HIGH OCTANE puroresu WORLD CHAMPION.. Shōtotsu kōsutōnamento no 2015 shōsha. CONQUEROR - EVERYTHING OF kingu, JASSSSOOOONNNNNN DAAAVIDDSSSSOONNN

Davidson also gets a massive pop from the audience as he turns around and spreads his arms out wide, holding his head up high as he walks over to the ropes and nods his head to the audience, pointing to himself afterwards and mouthing that he's going to be champion at the end of the night, he then turns to his opponent and the stage is set, the moment has come.

Shiozaki: THE UNBEATEN, JASON PARKER DAVIDSON TAKING ON THE ICONIC JOHN PARIAH IN THIS YEARS MAIN EVENT OF STARDOM!

Gozen: There first match is already down in history as one of the greatest, this - this will top that as the Heavyweight championship hangs in the balance, who will prevail? Will Davidson continue his streak as the king of the mountain? Or will John Pariah knock him off his throne and become the new king, the new and first champion!

Sato: LET'S GO! LET'S GO! LET'S GO!

The referee checks both men as they continue to intensely stare at each other from across the ring, and when the bell finally sounds a massive pop from the audience ensue and the two men don’t move but simply just look at one another.

Gozen: AND THE TOKYO DOME IS ELECTRIC!

JOHN PARIAH

JOHN PARIAH

JOHN PARIAH

Is the name that is echoing through the Tokyo Dome but it doesn’t seem to affect the two who are still glaring at one another, almost daring one another to make the first move. Suddenly the two then circle the ring and before meeting in the centre of the ring with a collar to elbow lock up, the two jockey in position as they both try to gain the upper hand. Davidson manages to push Pariah into one corner but already Pariah is able to fight back and push Davidson back to the opposite corner, with the hold still intact. Davidson continues to push for the upper hand, turning around so that he has Pariah on the ropes but Pariah turns around and now has Davidson on the ropes, and the two continue this transaction another two times before Pariah has Davidson cornered. Davidson has his arm on the ropes and Hanzo moves over to the two and tells Pariah that it’s time to break it up or he’ll start counting, reluctantly Pariah releases Davidson but takes his time to do so, and once he does he goes for the strike but stops himself, slapping Davidson on the chest before backing away from the corner with a grin on his face. Davidson runs his fingers through his hair and looks at Pariah, who invites him to attack but Davidson takes his time to move out of the corner, walking around the ring as he holds onto the ropes eying up Pariah who is in a fighting position.

JOHN PARIAH

JOHN PARIAH

JOHN PARIAH

The name, echoing once again through the Tokyo Dome – a name that has only been in NJFC for a matter of months but Pariah has made himself a global superstar after his showing at Collision Course. The fans in Japan deeply love him like he is their own and Pariah shows great respect for that, holding his arm up in the air in appreciation to the reaction he is receiving. The two skip around the ring before meeting once again in the centre with a lock up and Davidson manages to get out on top as he grabs the arm of Pariah and uses his arm to apply pressure, before twisting his arm and wrenching his wrist. Pariah does a forward roll and manages to reverse the situation, twisting the arm of Pariah and wrenching his wrist, taking him down with an arm drag but lifting him back up immediately with the hold still intact.

Davidson then manages to slip out of it, ducking under a clothesline attempt, and getting Pariah in a headlock in the centre of the ring. Tightening the hold as he falls on one knee whilst Pariah remains on both feet struggling to get out of the head lock, Pariah manages to get Davidson up and push him against the ropes, hitting him with a shoulder barge after swinging Davidson to the opposite ropes. He then immediately gets down and hits him with an elbow drop before locking in with a grounded headlock. Pariah tries to tighten the hold but Davidson manages to make it back up onto his feet, the hold still intact, he pushes his elbow against the face of Pariah, before bringing him to the ropes. He swings him to the opposite ropes and leap frogs over him on his way back, before hitting the canvas which causes Pariah to jump over him on his way back. Davidson then jumps up in preparation for a drop kick but Pariah grips his arms over the ropes so that he doesn’t bounce back. Davidson lands on his feet and Pariah runs towards him, taking him down with a high knee to the chest. Davidson gets back up immediately and now it’s his turn to show off, he runs at Pariah and connects with a flying forearm. The two are back up and Davidson attempts a clothesline, Pariah ducks and schoolboy rolls him from behind.

ONE

A kick out immediately and the two are back up on their feet again, with Davidson being taken down with an arm drag and the two are back up again afterwards, with Davidson now taking Pariah down with an arm drag. Davidson then swings Pariah to the ropes who reverses it and Davidson is being sent to the ropes now, fakes the rebound as he grips on the ropes and Pariah jumps up in preparation for a drop kick, landing on his feet with Davidson running towards Pariah and takes him down with a single legged drop kick. The two are back up and Davidson goes for a clothesline but Pariah ducks under, turns him around and connects with an STO.

Shiozaki:And Pariah connects with an STO!

Sato: Davidson doesn't know what's just hit him, looks like he's surprised with what John Pariah has in his locker here tonight!

Davidson hits the canvas and immediately rolls out of the ring holding onto his head and looking inside the ring at John Pariah with his eyes bulged open, applause ringing through the Tokyo Dome. Pariah invites him to come inside the ring but Davidson merely looks at him and walks around the outside of the ring, with both men not taking their eyes off one another. Davidson gets up on the apron and looks at Pariah who backs away and holds his hands up, implying that he’s not going to touch him. Davidson then enters the ring and the two walk around the four sided ring, the two meeting in the middle and going for a wrist lock with their right hands but then Davidson drives his knee into Pariah before clubbing him round the back. Straightening him up so that he can slap him across the chest, bringing him to the ropes to Irish whip him, Pariah rebounds the opposite ropes and kicks Davidson up from his bended position connecting with a knife edge chop before slamming him to the canvas with a vertical suplex!

Applause ensues and Davidson arches his back as he moves towards the corner, with Pariah heading over to him he straightens him up and hits him with a forearm to the head. He then connects with a series of uppercuts to the corner, a total of five connect with the audience counting along. Davidson stumbles out of the corner and Pariah flips him into a seated position, running towards the ropes and on his return hits him with a single leg drop to the face, with echoes of claps ensuing afterwards. Pariah then locks in a grounded cross face submission, trying to win this by the way of submission with Hanzo rushing over to the scene to see whether or not Davidson wants to tap out. Davidson holds his hand out but is eager to remain in the match so doesn’t let it drop, he isn’t too far from the ropes but the cross face submission doesn’t allow you to move as much as any other submission. Pariah realizes that Davidson isn’t going to tap out so releases the hold. He grabs Davidson and lifts him up to take him down with a standard body slam. Before hoisting up onto the top rope and flies off of it, connecting with a swanton bomb. He then covers..

ONE


But Davidson kicks out again. He walks around the ring and runs his fingers through his hair whilst Davidson helps himself up by the corner. He sprints towards him and goes for a big splash in the corner but Davidson rolls out of the way, turning around and connecting with forearm shots to the head of Pariah as he now has him cornered. He grabs him by the head and flips him so he is in a seated position, kicking him in the back which creates a clap that echoes through the Tokyo Dome, he then goes for a kick to the face but Pariah lies on his back to avoid it before backwards rolling himself up and running towards Davidson, who leap frogs over him. Pariah comes back and manages to catch the foot of Davidson, but Davidson uses his other foot to connect with an enziguri. Davidson picks him up and slams his head against the padded corner, heading over to the opposite corner before sprinting at Pariah leaping up and connects with a clothesline. Pariah stumbles out of the corner and Davidson then connects with a vicious spinebuster.

Shiozaki: Davidson has taken control of this match after a period of time where John Pariah was in control. Davidson showing what he's been doing the last few shows, pure dominance in execution.

Sato: He is renowned for his speed and power and that's what he's showing right now, a combination of both, resilient and is always thinking a step ahead his opponent.

Getting back up onto his feet he plays with his hair and walks around the ring. Turning around he runs over to Pariah and suddenly performs a senton on Pariah, who clutches onto his stomach and winces in pain.

Gozen: Looks like John Pariah may be winded after that senton by The King of Everything.

He walks around the ring and claims that he is the king, with the audience slightly booing him as he does so, before he goes over to Pariah and picks him up. Pariah manages to connect with a forearm shot followed by another, slamming his elbow into the neck of Davidson afterwards, followed by a forearm shot to the face. Pariah heads to the ropes and on his way back he is lifted up into the air, spun around and slammed onto the knee of Davidson – performing a tilt a whirl backbreaker.

Gozen: What a move by Davidson!

Sato: Let's take another look at that!

REPLAY BOARD

Applause ensues for the efforts shown by Davidson who is back up on his feet and walking around the ring, running his fingers through his hair. Pariah is by the ropes and leaning against them, Davidson runs over to him and clotheslines Pariah and himself over the top rope and to the outside. And from there, he picks up Pariah and throws him into the barricade. Picking him up by his hair, he slams his head against the barricade before throwing him into the apron, picking him up by his hair so that he can slam his head against the apron before rolling him into the ring. Davidson jumps onto the apron and as Pariah recovers in the ring, getting up, Davidson springboards his way in and connects with a forearm smash! Pariah falls to the canvas and rolls to the outside and Davidson follows, running his fingers through his hair as he gets to Pariah. He rolls him into the ring and joins him, and covers –

ONE

And Pariah kicks out immediately. Davidson then lifts Pariah up onto his feet but Pariah spins out and gets him in a waist lock, Davidson then manages to reverse the situation and now has Pariah in a waist lock. Pariah then begins to fight back with an elbow to the mid section followed by another, and another before he backs him up into the ropes. Running to the opposite ropes he rebounds but is met by a drop kick by Jason Davidson! Davidson picks Pariah up immediately afterwards and gets him in a powebomb position, lifting him up, and running towards the corner that he powerbombs him into. He then crawls over to him and lays his arm over his chest..

ONE

TWO

But that’s all he gets, a two count. He picks Pariah up and leads him to the corner but all of a sudden Pariah has a surge of life within him, connecting with a barrel of forearm shots to Davidson who staggers but regains control with a knee driven into the gut of John Pariah. He then gets him in a bulldog position before taking off and performing the move, getting up immediately to spread his arms out wide before turning his attention back to his opponent. Pariah is by the corner and has no time to react from a big splash to the corner from Davidson who came running in from the centre of the ring, Pariah stumbles out of the corner and Davidson runs to the ropes rebounds but Pariah connects with a big boot the face, a punishing big boot which sends applause and cheers through the dome. Davidson flips uncontrollably from the impact of the kick and Pariah is back in it, pounding his chest with his fists.

Shizoaki: He almost took his head off with that big boot!

Gozen: John Pariah is back in this!

Chicago’s finest then begins an assault of attacks, picking Davidson up and Irish whipping him to the padded corner where he meets him with stiff forearm shots before hoisting his opponent to the top rope. He looks around the Tokyo Dome and points at The King of Everything, getting a huge pop before he joins Davidson, getting himself up onto the second rope. He then jumps down from the turnbuckle to the confusion of everyone in the arena. He runs to the ropes, rebounds off of them and runs to the ropes near Davidson, springboarding off of them and connecting with an enziguri kick! The Tokyo Dome is rocking with applause and cheers as Pariah gets up onto his feet and nods his head approving the action whilst Davidson is on the outside, still feeling the effects of the enziguri kick off of the top rope.

Shiozaki: Nostalgia, Pariah performing the same unorthodox move he performed in the collision course final - a springboard enziguri kick while Jace is on the top rope.

Sato: Is that.. - is that, Tara Davidson?

Gozen: It is!

John Pariah exits the ring and heads towards his opponent but before he can pick him up here comes Tara Davidson who comes out from the back with her title draped on her shoulder, she commands Pariah to get back in the ring whilst she see’s if her hubby is alright. Tara and Pariah then have a brief argument, with Pariah asking her why she’s out here and to stay out of it but he does as he is told and enters the ring. But Tara and Jace are taking too long on the outside and Pariah isn’t having any of it, so he exits the ring again and heads over to them, pushing Tara out of the way, a move that he gets a massive pop from! Tara can’t believe what’s just happened as she stumbles to the ground, her mouth open and her eyes flaring it in disgust towards Pariah who has rolled Jace into the ring. Pariah proceeds in entering himself into the ring but Tara turns him around and slaps him across the face! Pariah can’t believe what just happened and nor can the Tokyo Dome!

Shiozaki: TARA DAVIDSON JUST SLAPPED JOHN PARIAH!

Gozen: Oh come on, why she got to get involved?

Pariah raises his hand but doesn’t hit her back, instead he turns around and enters the ring but Jace is back up and is pounding blows to the body of Pariah, lifting him up onto his feet where he connects with barrel of forearm shots. He then hits him with a kick to the leg, swings his arm over for a clothesline, Pariah ducks but Davidson connects with an enziguri. Pariah remains on his feet but just stumbles backwards a little and performs a shining wizard on Davidson who is on one knee! Applause echo through the dome as the two lay in the middle of the ring, with Tara Davidson slamming her hands on the apron to try rally both men up.

The two men are up and it is Jason P Davidson who connects with an elbow to the face, Pariah gets up but Davidson drives his boot into his face. Irish whipping attempt but Pariah reverses, Davidson however pulls him back and drives his knee into his gut before hitting the ropes and performing a hurricanrana. He kips up afterwards and holds his arms out wide to embrace the applause for his efforts, blowing a kiss to Tara Davidson who is on the outside. Pariah is by the corner and Davidson runs over to him driving his elbow into his face. Davidson then hoists him up onto the top rope and attempts to join him but Pariah throws his boot into his face as a reply, leaping off the top to connect with a hurricanrana! The two men are back up and Pariah grabs Davidson by his arm, bringing him to the ropes and Irish whipping him to the opposite ropes, and on his return he hoists him up into the air and slams him down behind him, performing a flapjack.

Shiozaki: And the flapjack connects by John Pariah! The King of Wrestling, THE ICONIC living legend!

Gozen: Is there's anyone that can stop Jason P Davidson, then it's this man!

REPLAY BOARD

He then kips himself up and backs up to the ropes, rubbing his elbow as an indication that he’s going for the Mirakuru! Davidson slowly gets up onto his feet but before he can turn around, Pariah’s leg is being held by Tara Davidson from the outside of the ring. Pariah tries to fight her off of him but she isn’t letting go. Jace turns around and see’s this is a perfect opportunity. He runs towards Pariah who holds onto the ropes and brings himself down with the ropes, sending Jace over the top rope and out of the ring. Davidson lands on Tara on the outside and he checks if she’s okay whilst Pariah claps his hands and gets the audience to clap along with him. He then runs to the ropes, rebounds off of them and heads in the direction of the Davidson, flying over the top rope and landing on both of them! He gets up onto his feet and slams the barricade with his hands, raising his arms up high as a massive pop from the audience ensue, Pariah waits for Davidson to get back up on his feet before he spears him into the barricade! He picks him up and rolls him into the ring before joining him on the inside. He hooks his leg..

Shiozaki: Not enough to put Davidson away! 

Sato: Davidson is unbeaten thus far, is there anything that can put him away?

He gets back up onto his feet and brings Davidson up with him, taking him down with a belly to belly suplex before heading to the top rope. He positions himself but by the time he looks back at Davidson he is already up and charging at him, Pariah jumps off of the top rope, over Davidson and forward rolls. The two men meet in the middle with Pariah pulling him by his arm, ducking under a clothesline attempt and performs a move we have never seen before!

Sato: What the hell was that?!

Shiozaki: WHAT A MOVE BY JOHN PARIAH! LET'S TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT THAT!

REPLAY BOARD

Gozen: I believe he calls that the fatemaker!

The Tokyo Dome is electric at the moment due to the move performed by John Pariah, who is in a seated position, nodding his head approvingly at the crowd’s reaction. He gets back up onto his feet and runs his fingers through his hair as he waits for Davidson to recover. He brings him up and swings him to the corner, running at him afterwards he attempts a splash but Davidson manages to lift him up, over the top rope so that Pariah is now on the apron. Pariah connects with a forearm shot to the face, springboards his way into the ring only to be met with a high drop kick by Jason Davidson and a pop once again ignites from the audience as Pariah rolls under the bottom rope and Davidson lies in the ring with his back on the ground, looking up at the heavens.

Davidson rolls under the bottom rope and joins Pariah on the outside, picking him up and connecting with elbows to the face. Pariah manages to block a third elbow and head but Davidson who stumbles into the barricade. Tara Davidson storms over to Pariah but Pariah reminds her that if she hits him again, or touches him then this match will finish and her hubby won’t get any chance of being champion. Tara quietens down and Pariah grins, telling her to watch before running towards Jason P Davidson and clotheslining him over the barricade! Pariah stumbles into some seats as he tries to stand up whilst Davidson uses the barricade to his advantage, using the barricade as a springboard as he flies over the barricade and connects with a forearm shot on Pariah! The two now among a section of the fans who are excited that they get to see the action very close up. Davidson walks over to Pariah and picks him up by his hair, slamming his head against the guard rail before he opens a gate and rolls him under the bottom rope. He runs his fingers through his hair and enters the ring. He then picks him up and performs a cradle piledriver.

Gozen: AND A SHOULDER UP FROM PARIAH!

Davidson sits up and looks at the ceiling, before looking back down at John Pariah who is holding onto his head rolling around, he’s breathing heavily and sweat is slivering down his forehead as the camera fixates on him. He picks himself up and John Pariah is now by the padded corner. Davidson takes a few steps backwards before launching himself at Pariah who manages to move out of the way very quickly. Davidson is now the man in the corner and Pariah walks around the ring, getting to the opposite corner – and then charging at Davidson, who manages to get his legs between the top and middle rope and move out of the way whilst Pariah collides with the padded corner. Davidson is now on the apron and Pariah stumbles to the centre of the ring, but all of a sudden Pariah has a burst of life, turning around and running towards the ropes, springboarding off of them and dropkicking Davidson who falls to the outside!

REPLAY BOARD

Tara picks up her hubby and slaps him across the face, reminding him this is a championship match and he needs to get his head in the game. Davidson nods and embraces a hug from his partner before circling the outside of the ring before rolling himself inside. Pariah is on him like a rash with boots to the back of the body, picking him up by the back of his hair but Davidson reacts with elbows to the side of the face of Pariah, one last elbow sends Pariah to the corner and Davidson stumbles to the opposite corner. He then runs to the corner but Pariah gets his foot up, taking a few steps closer to Davidson and picking him up, suplexing him into the padded corner! The audience applause Pariah for his efforts who rolls onto his front and crawls over to the ropes, using the ropes to help himself back up onto his feet.

Pariah rubs his elbow which gets the audience cheering as they know what’s coming next from him, the mirakuru rolling elbow! Pariah waits for Davidson to get back up onto his feet, and once he does the charges towards him but Davidson ducks under a rolling elbow attempt. And connects with a back flip kick!

Shiozaki: Backflip kick by Davidson, starting to build some momentum!

Gozen: This match has been so  backwards and forwards in terms of who's been on top, I love it!

Davidson gets up onto his feet.

Sato: OH MY GOODNESS, WHAT A MOVE FROM DAVIDSON!

Gozen: Pin!

Shiozaki: KICKOUT BY PARIAH!

Davidson can't believe it! He buries his head in his hands and looks at the official, swearing that he counted three but the referee disagrees and tells him that this match is going to continue. Davidson picks Pariah up, who throws his arms up in the air and connects with the mirakuru!

Shiozaki: THE MIRAKURU! THE MIRAKURU ROLLING ELBOW BY JOHN PARIAH!

Sato: NEW CHAMPION! NEW CHAMPION! NEW CHAMPION!

All of a sudden a hooded man comes running down the aisle.

Gozen: WHO THE HELL IS THIS?

The man jumps onto the apron and enters the ring and Pariah gets up and looks at the man, wondering who the man is under the hood, and wondering why he is out here. The referee tells the man that he has to leave, pushing the man towards the ropes but he isn't budging. Pariah then shouts at the man, telling him to leave but the man doesn't move. Pariah then runs over to him but the man puts the referee in front of him and Pariah connects with a rolling elbow to the referee. Pariah is alone in the ring with the hooded man and a recovering Jason Parker Davidson! Tara Davidson enters the ring and looks at the hooded man, a grin on her face. The hooded man pulls down his hood.

Shiozaki: IT'S JULIAN SAVELL! FROM INFERNO WRESTLING!

Savell grins from ear to ear before he attacks Pariah with a boot to the gut followed by a club to the back, followed by a powerbomb and Tara and Savell begin to stomp on him afterwards, with boo's echoing through the Tokyo Dome!

Shiozaki: They're sabotaging this match!

Out from the crowd is a man who slides into the ring with a chair.

Sato: It's JORDAN CISERANO! THE FORMER REDEFINE WORLD CHAMPION!

Ciserano scares them out of the ring with the chair, exiting the ring himself and chasing them up the entrance ramp. The referee is beginning to become stable and doesn't know what's just happened, Pariah is down after that powerbomb and Davidson is back up on his feet! He climbs to the top rope and positions himself!

Shiozaki: NOT LIKE THIS! NOT LIKE THIS!

Gozen: CROWING ACHIEVEMENT SWAN DIVE BY DAVIDSON!

Sato: AND THE PIN!
