The scene opens with a grainy video of Tiger Mask Red battle an unidentified Japanese wrestler. Tiger Mask Red is bleeding badly from his leg and appears barely able to stand, let alone battle with his competitor. Suddenly he manages to hit a Reverse STO and applies the Koji Clutch in the centre of the ring. Both men scream out in pain but Tiger refuses to release the move. Finally after what feels like an eternity the Japanese competitor taps his free hand several times on the mat. Tiger immediately releases the maneuver and lies almost motionlessly in the middle of the ring as the ring announcer proclaims him the winner. Members of the medical staff and a few of the young boys enter and tend to both competitors and after a few minutes, Tiger Mask Red is able to get to his feet with help. Despite his obvious pain he accepts the BATTLE Japan 2014 Young Lions Cup, before being helped out of the ring and carried to the back on a stretcher.
The scene cuts to Tiger Mask Red sitting behind a computer at his home in Dallas, Texas. He holds up the trophy in front of him, before setting it back down to his side.
Tiger Mask Red: I still got this bad boy, a souvenir of one of the greatest moments of my wrestling career. That win also marks the last time that I ever competed in the country of Japan, as my injuries forced me on the shelf for nearly nine months and I had to return home to Canada while I recuperated. Since then I’ve made a name for myself in several organizations in North America, such as Pollomania, Strike Towers Wrestling and Guerreros of Lucha, but lately I’ve been feeling like there’s something missing, like I needed to come back to Japan once more and prove once more just how good I am.
Tiger Mask Red: That brings me to the tournament here in Japan. When my partner in crime, D.C. Wiland told me that you folks were looking to crown the first ever NJFC Tag Team Champions, I told him “Sign us up, Deezy, because it’s time to give the people of Japan a ‘Rudo Awakening’.”
He shakes his head and starts laughing.
Tiger Mask Red: You see, ‘The Usual Rudos’ are the best damn tag team that you’ve never had a chance to see. This crap hole of a company in Nigeria heard that Deezy and I were coming and shut because they knew we were going to take over and burn that motherfucker to the ground. The same thing is about to happen in NJFC when we show up and waltz our way through the tag team tournament and take the titles for ourselves.
Tiger Mask Red: This brings me to our opponents in the opening round of the tournament, Timetus Mortuem, let me talk at ya for a couple of minutes! Cute name, by the way, “Fear Death”. How long did it take you two to look up that name in Latin? You probably just googled it. See boys, you are boys, aren’t ya? You know what, it doesn’t matter because I ain’t got a clue who you two are and honestly I really don’t give a damn. You two can be twenty year veterans with dozens of tag team championships to your name and you’ll still be no match for ‘The Usual Rudos’. You might say that being cocky, but it ain’t being arrogant when you can back it. You two wannabe emo, bad asses are about to be schooled by the two former world champions. Wiland and I are going to school you on what greatness really looks like and after we’re done with you, Timetus Mortuem, you can sit back and watch as we go on to beat every other team put in front of us. Hey, you’ll even be able to elbow the cupcakes sitting next to you when we’re given the GPC Tag Team Titles and tell them, “You see those two? We had the privilege of being in the ring with them!”
Tiger Mask Red: So, Timetus Mortuem, bring your bad attitudes, bring a Latin to English Dictionary, bring everything that you’ve got! At the end of the day, it’s not going to matter. You’ll be lying there looking up at the lights and The Usual Rudos will be moving on to the next round of the GPC Tag Team Tournament. That’s not an insult, that’s a damn fact of life!
Tiger Mask Red: Timetus Mortuem, NJFC, welcome to the jungle!
