*Voltage starts with an unfamiliar scene, that of outside the
Peter Venkman Memorial Arena. It is the dead of NY winter but we
see many people standing outside in the parking lot...apparently
protesters with picket signs. Sample signs include: "WE made OG-FPD"
and "OrochiGee$e can go to hell". In the crowd we can make out
a lot of the faces but then the camera quickly switches to inside the
arena where we are focused onto the commentators, Clyde and Figaro.*
Mr. Clyde: "Good evening fans..."
Mr. Figaro: "Especially female fans!"
Mr. Clyde: "As you can see, we have a bit of a 'situation'
outside. For the last month there was something of
a labor dispute between OrochiGeese and the
wrestlers that have constituted "OG-FPD" since
late 2003. OrochiGeese has wanted to do the
right thing for OG-FPD and the fans so he has
taken his time to sort out the controversy and
has a big announcement for you all right now."
*OrochiGeese comes to the ring, uncharacteristically with no
music accompanying him. He has a solemn look on his face.*
OG: "Fans of Voltage...of OG-FPD...of the product
we have put on since 2003, I have an unfortunate
announcement for you all that will change OG-FPD
for what I believe to be the permanent future."
OG: "Let me first say up front that OG-Joshi is not
associated or negatively affected by this news.
But for those men that have called themselves
OG-FPD wrestlers...ones that I have permitted
to work under our grand banner, there has been
some...disputes since the 3 year Anniversary Show."
OG: "Some of them were not happy that they did not
receive a bigger match, or a match at all. They
also DEMANDED that they receive increased pay for
2007 in addition to other ridiculous demands. But I
will NOT be bullied, nor will I allow YOU, the fans,
to be extorted by unreasonable demands from people
LUCKY to be entertaining you all! I have always
been good to them and tried my best to get them
to stay under the OG-FPD banner...but, alas,
there is only so much I could justify giving
them, only so much I would sacrifice before I saw
that the interests of the FANS would not be served."
OG: "And so those wrestlers will no longer be under
employment to OG-FPD or Voltage. I have chosen
to NOT renew their annual contracts. Those wrestlers
that you have all watched for the last three years
will no longer be part of OG-FPD thanks to THEIR
OWN greed. As for Voltage, it will now be fully
given to the hard working women wrestlers of OG-Jo...
*Just then, the OrochiTron turns on. OrochiGeese looks over and
appears confused as to why it has been activated. We suddenly see
some camera footage of the shaky "amateur spy" video variety.
The footage contains today's date and the time is just a few hours
before this broadcast. The setting appears to be backstage at
this very Arena and the camera focuses in on OrochiGeese who
is walking through a hallway close to where the (likely concealed)
camera is. Though OrochiGeese is walking further away, the sound on
the video is amplified to compensate. It becomes clear that OG
is talking through a half opened door to a person on the outside.*
OG: "Yes I know who you are, you are the lawyer
representing the FORMER OG-FPD wrestlers.
But I have done nothing wrong. I have not
BROKEN a contract, I have just chosen not to
renew it. I am under no obligation to do so
and have no interest in continuining to waste
time on Voltage with wrestlers the audience
simply has reduced interest in. Less interest
means less merchandise sales and PPV buys."
Lawyer: "But that is simply not true, there is STILL
fan interest and, furthermore, you waited
until the day of Voltage to make this decision!
all this! Can't you let the wrestlers work
tonight under the old contract until we can
come to a new agreement!? I am sure we ca-"
OG: "It is a simple question of finances. They
barely make me enough to cover the effort put
into them! OG-Joshi is FAR more profitable and
I would rather spend the time and money on THEM,
Voltage has made more money and achieved higher
ratings ever since OG-Joshi was created. It's
merchandise has sold better and its PPV's
have gotten higher buyrates then OG-FPD ones.
For many reasons, OG-Joshi is more successful
then OG-FPD and makes me FAR more money. So
I simply want to maximize that effect."
Lawyer: "So it's JUST about money!? What about the
fans? They still love many of the OG-FPD
wrestlers, what are you going to say to them!?"
OG: "Oh please...I'll tell them whatever the
hell I want and they'll eat it up. I'm the
one in control and they are LUCKY to be
paying for the entertainment I provide them."
Lawyer: "You...you don't even care ab-"
OG: "I only care about MY interests. It just so happens
that, in THIS case, the fans' interest has been
proven to corellate with mine: as the former
OG-FPD wrestlers are no longer included in that
category of our interests. So getting rid of those
wrestlers allows me to practice the usefull business
strategy of "addition by substraction." I can add
NET entertainment value for the fans by getting rid
of those wrestlers and focusing only on OG-Joshi.
And now, since there will be even MORE opportunities
for the OG-Joshi wrestlers to show what they can
do on Voltage, profits will rise higher then EVER!!
So not only am I cutting the deadweight of OG-FPD,
but I am helping the fans enjoy our more proven
wrestling commodity: OG-Joshi. And that, of course,
will mean even MORE money for me! So, while I will
be charitable and not charge you for this lecture
on business, I WILL make this demand. I suggest that
you leave my property and strongly encourage those
who you represent to stop picketing and LEAVE."
Lawyer: "You want them to stop, then YOU go ask them,
yourself! I'm sure they'll love to hear from you."
OG: "I suggest you rethink your position. My patience
will last for only so long. And I do not want
the fans reminded of them anymore. They are
already confused peons, no need to excascerbate
that effect. If your clients do not realize
their place in this new OG-FPD world, then they
will be dealt with. A much more painful and
violent reality check will be headed their way
if they do not comply. You have all been warned."
*The OrochiTron footage ends as some of the fans start booing OG
and hurling food items at him. Some begin to leave but food vendors
quickly come out and start giving free samples of Orochi-O's and free
OG-Joshi "KENTA! Army" t-shirts. Surprisingly, this is enough
to make the majority of the crowd stay! Well, admittedly, that's
not the only thing...as various Gooses have been assigned to the
exit areas and are doing their part for "asses in seats" patrol*
Mr. Clyde: "well..."
Mr. Figaro: "WHO THE HELL PLAYED THAT VIDEO!? THAT um...
totally doctored and NOT AT ALL true video!"
Mr. Clyde: "I think OrochiGeese is about to go and find out."
*A fuming OrochiGeese storms out of the ring and runs backstage
immediately. The OrochiTron again turns on as we see LIVE footage
of OG running backstage now and yelling at random tech people.*
OG: "I DEMAND TO KNOW WHO PLAYED THAT VIDEO!"
Tech guy: "Some guy jumped us bad and took over the
production booth! I think he's still there..."
*A crash is heard as a chair goes careening out of a glass window
of the production booth. OG and the tech guys shield themselves
from the glass as a man dressed in camouflage jumps out from
the booth and dashes quickly down the hallway to the exit.*
OG: "SEIZE HIM!! AFTER THAT MAN!"
*OG begins running but is outpaced by the man in camouflage.
Security guards quickly form a wall around the arena exit
as "Camo-man" approaches. In about two to three swift motions,
the guards are thoroughly dispatched by what appears to be
an array of martial art strikes from Camo-Man. Camo-Man then
opens the door, looks back at OG and nods, and then escapes.*
OG: "CURSES!!"
(Holy sh*t, did OG just yell "CURSES!"? If Celes turns
into Evil Lyn by the end of this show, I'm outta here...)
OG: "Guards!! Rise and bring that man back to me!"
*The guards who have remained conscious look
less then enthusiastic about those prospects.*
Guard 1: "But sir...those OG-FPD...*receives a
dirty look from OG* those FORMER OG-FPD
wrestlers are outside protesting. We don't
want to deal with any of them..."
OG: "I don't care what YOU want!! Do as you
are told or you will be the next to be
"wished well in your future endeavors."
*Some of the guards head outside where they are quickly
dismantled by the punches of a no longer contracted OG-FPD
World Champion, hard chops from a former 12/13 teammate of OG,
and a crossface type manuever from an intense, scruffy-looking
individual. OG seeths as he sees his guards destroyed and
the failure of their mission to apprehend the camo-man. The
OrochiTron video fades as we see OG staring off into the night.*
Mr. Figaro: "What the heck is going on here?"
Mr. Clyde: "Quite a start to a new year of Voltages.
As we have learned tonight, OrochiGeese
has decided not to renew the contracts
of the wrestlers who wrestled for OG-FPD."
Mr. Figaro "Does this mean that...Rega-"
Mr. Clyde: "We shouldn'tm even say his name anymore.
They're gone, all of them. Well, actually
not ALL of the male wrestlers we have
seen in OG-FPD in the past. While I will
have to check on the specifics, I do believe
that some male wrestlers from OG-FPD still
DO work here. That is because the contracts
that OG did not renew only accounted for MOST
of the male wrestlers, but not all. Obviously
WE are still here, along with OG. And I believe
OG still has Twinky McLanahan's contract for
another few months until the summer. Then
there are the Canada Brothers, who signed a
three year contract with OG-FPD last year
instead of the single year contracts the
other talent had. But you heard what OG
said himself: He now wants Voltage dedicated
to OG-Joshi talent. And while they certainly
deserve their own show, it will be odd to
no longer see the old faces of OG-FPD."
Mr. Figaro: "Well, Geese had his reasons, and far be it
for ME to complain about the fact that we will
now have HAWT WOMEN IN EVERY FREAKING MATCH!"
Mr. Clyde: "You got over that quick enough..."
Mr. Figaro: "I'm a trooper, Clyde!"
Mr. Clyde: "Speaking of troopers, I don't know who
that camouflaged man was...but it is not
too far from reasonable suspicion to assume
that he was behind that secret video of OG
talking to the lawyer. Nor can I shake the
feling that he is associated with some of the
other technical "snafus" that we have experienced
here on Voltage in the past few months."
Mr. Figaro: "You mean those odd colored videos that interrupted
the Voltage feed? Yeah, it certainly seems
like this guy has some prowess in hacking into
electronics. But he was within a hair of
being caught tonight. And you know...when
you have OrochiGeese chasing after you in
a fit of chaotic rage...its unlikely that
you try something like THAT again. So I
doubt he'll be sleeping well tonight knowing
how close he was to being spiked neck-first
into the ground! OG would have murderalized him!"
Mr. Clyde: "As shocking as it may seem, I don't think
that guy seemed too scared. Which means he's
probably not too familiar with OG's body
of work when it comes to violence."
Mr. Figaro: "Its in his best interests to not become
TOO familiarized with it, first-hand."
Mr. Clyde: "Well this is certainly the strangest start
to a Voltage we have ever had. But I am
being informed via headset by General
Celes that our first match is about to
take place. Unsurprisingly enough, it's
an OG-Joshi match. And it will be between
Kaori NiGHT and one half of the new OG-Joshi
Tag Team Champions, Azumi Oonishi."
Mr. Figaro: "Wow! That should be quite a match, Clyde!"
Mr. Clyde: "While this is not technically a rematch,
it certainly is in response to the OG-Joshi
Tag Team Title Tournament match, at the Three
Year Anniversary PPV on December 13th, 2006,
between Kaori NiGHT and Jenny McLanahan vs.
Azumi Oonishi and Diane "Dizzy" Cavuto."
Mr. Figaro: "In a truly excellent match, Dizzy and Azumi
battled to victory and became the new and
first ever OG-Joshi Tag Team Champions!
HAWT*Wing won the belts and looked hot doing it!"
Mr. Clyde: "But Kaori is not done competing for those
titles and she wanted a match with one of
the Champions tonight to start her team
on the road to a rematch with the Champs."
Mr. Figaro: "Azumi showed more fire and talent then
ever before in that Tag Tournament but
the fact still remains that Kaori NiGHT
is one of the top Joshi wrestlers in the
world today. She has more experience then
Azumi and is certainly looking to avenge
that loss at the 12/13 show to Azumi and
Dizzy. But Kaori is not the only one with
a lot to gain here, as a win against Kaori
for Azumi would propel her singles career."
Mr. Clyde: "These are two of the quickest and most
agile wrestlers in OG-Joshi. Both are
well versed in striking and aerial
manuevers. Kaori has the edge in submission
skills as well as possessing more high
impact manuevers. But Azumi has an energy
about her lately that makes it very hard to
underestimate her determination in that ring,
no matter WHAT her opponent is capable of.
After all, she and Dizzy were able to stand
up and beat the team of Haley and Valeriyah,
a team that had run roughshod over their
prior competition. But Azumi was able to
adapt to their skills as she was able to
adapt to her other opponents. And that
just may be one of her strongest traits."
Mr. Figaro: "But adapting to Kaori NiGHT can be very
difficult as she is able to switch her
gameplan and style around so quickly.
While someone like Haley may be quite
dangerous with those submissions and
throws, Kaori is dangerous due to the
sheer variety of things she can do, and
do well. Do VERY well. So Azumi will be
kept guessing if she just sits back and
tries to react and adapt. She has to have
a gameplan to bring the fight as best she can."
Mr. Clyde: "SUrprisingly cogent analysis..."
Mr. Figaro: "This whole OG-FPD thing has me thrown
for a bit of a loop here, Clyde. I'll
get my "Fig Papa" groove back later on..."
Mr. Clyde: "Hey...no rush...maybe we'll get some
of our advertisers back if you stay
in "muddle" mode right n-""
Mr. Figaro: "Well, know what will help!? Seeing two
delicious specimens twisting and sweating
in the ring like Azumi and Kaori!"
Mr. Clyde: "I think we're about to see just that,
or put better, we are about to see
the WRESTLING MATCH between them."
Match #1: Azumi Oonishi vs. Kaori NiGHT
Figaro's Corner:
Mr. Figaro: "Just twisting and sweating would work too..."
Mr. Clyde: "Why just have that when you could have more?"
Mr. Figaro: "Good point!! Them twisting and sweating
while on top of me...in a bubble bath!"
Mr. Clyde: "A "hallo KENTA!" one?"
*Mr. Figaro bcomes silent*
Mr. Clyde: "Uhh?"
Mr. Figaro: "Who is gonna be the brave soul to break
it to KENTA! Army that a certain someone
is no longer here on Voltage..."
*Mr. Clyde gulps*
Mr. Clyde: "Someone much braver then either of us,
that is for sure. I say we just don't
tell them and act like nothing happened."
Mr. Figaro: "Either that or we dress me up as the
manly object of their affection!"
Mr. Clyde: "That wouldn't even work for Halloween..."
Mr. Figaro: "Low blow, Clyde, ninja low blow. Did
Kat teach you that? *Figaro smirks*
Mr. Clyde: "MATCH.NOW!"

Mr. Figaro: "Wow, what a match to kick off the first Voltage
of 2007. Those two really brought it! and by
"it", i mean plenty of hotness for me to remember
when I get back home on a cold night! Get it,
"night" like KAORI NiGHT!? A genius is me!!"
Mr. Clyde: "Kaori NiGHT was able to fend off Azumi's intensity
but it certainly looks like she was surprised at
just how far Azumi has come in the ring over the
last year or so. Azumi came close on a number of
occasions but Kaori was able to use her wide array
of skills to put her away. Still, you gotta be
impressed with Azumi Oonishi whose tag Title
win definitely inspired her and gave her more
confidence as of late. But Kaori's victory here
may serve as motivation for her and Jenny to give
it another shot at the Tag Titles in the future."
Mr. Figaro: "If this match is any indication, we are going to
see a very competitive 2007 out of these girls.
And with the added burden of carrying Voltage
all by themselves, I think they will step things
up even further then they have in the past.
OG-Joshi has earned Voltage and they aren't
going to rest on their past laurels."
Mr. Clyde: "OrochiGeese and General Celes have very high
confidence in OG-Joshi. These two women and
their competitive spirts are good examples of why."
