[Mr. Clyde:] "Hello and welcome to the OG-FPD Four Year Anniversary PPV. We have quite the card for you tonight as the best of both OG-Joshi and Universal Battle League are set to compete in matches tonight."
[Mr. Figaro:] "You got that right little buddy, tonight is going to feature matches the likes of which we have not seen before from both great companies. 3 titles up for grabs, honor on the line, and more hotwings then any mere mortal should ever attempt to stick in his mouth! But I'm up to the task, Clyde! Gotta do it for my fans!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "On that note...*Clyde clears this throat*, and by that I mean the less crazy one. Let us look at the card for tonight.

[Mr. Figaro:] 'No WAY!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Impressive card, right?"
[Mr. Figaro:] "Dude, we got an INTERMISSION!! AWESOME!! Can I sing the "let's all go to the lobby song?"
[Mr. Clyde:] "If you behave yourself to that point, I'll allow you that indulgence."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Does that mean yes?"
[Mr. Clyde:] "uh--"
*Just then a voice is heard from behind them. It's a female voice and it's emanating from the Orochi-Tron. Everyone looks to find "Mean" Jean Carter who is being broadcast from the stage of the "Battle Chamber" portion of the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena."
[Mr. Clyde:] "Hello Miss Carter."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Hey chica!"
[MJC:] "Hey guys! I'm gonna be joining you guys tonight as official Universal Hostess!"
[Mr. Figaro:] "Wow, you must REALLY get around with THAT job title!"
*MJC's face turns red*
[MJC:] "I've had to put up with remarks like that all leag-"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Uh, thank you for joining us tonight. As you have been present at all of the Universal Champion League shows, I'm sure you have a lot to tell us about what you think will happen tonight."
[MJC:] "I'll tell you what will happen! If your "colleague" over there makes one more remark-"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Yes, yes, I get it. Let me handle this. Figaro, remember when I said that you could sing your little lobby song if you behaved?"
[Mr. Figaro:] "Yeah!!" *makes seal "barking" noises*
[Mr. Clyde:] "Well that includes NOT teasing Miss Carter."
*Mr. Figaro frowns*
[MJC:] "Thanks Clyde!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Now, I believe it is time to get to the first match of the evening which is the first in a "two out of three falls" format scheduled for tonight between the two men tied for wins in the 2007 Universal Champion League: Twinky McLanahan and Jack Dod."
[Mr. Figaro:] "I don't like either of these two men, Clyde. Geese should have won!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "And a very reputable argument goes that Geese *would* have won had his opponent for tonight, Thunder Strike, did not get involved in matches. However, despite that unfortunate situation, we are left with tonight's series between Twinky and Jack. Two men that are no strangers to each other. They have traded the PW-W Unified World Heavyweight Title back and forth and they have been part of some of the best matches of the last few years in pro wrestling. And they meet again tonight at least twice, and possibly for a third time if they are tied. They will have a chance to rest rather then having sequential falls, but the question on everyone's minds is whether two buffer matches in between their falls will be enough for them to recover?"
[Mr. Figaro:] "Probably not."
[MJC:] "Doubtful!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Then they will have to battle each other, potential injuries, and fatigue. But it is all worth it to be crowned the Universal Champion, a title fought for all year last year by 11 of some of the best wrestlers in the business...and Centurion."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Way to kick a man when he's down and injured!"
[MJC:] "Eh...i've seen him, he kinda sucks."
[Mr. Clyde:] "Thank you. He really does. But the other eleven wrestlers were some of the cream of the crop. But it was Twinky who earned his way here tonight and Jack who connived his way here to face him. Both men actually traded the lead in wins throughout the league but tonight there can only be one final winner."
[MJC:] "And this next match will help us find out who will be that winner!"
[Mr. Figaro:] "Hey! I was gonna say that!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Doubtful. It's much more likely you were going to comment on my "cream of the crop" remark."
[MJC:] "Ha-ha! Busted!"
[Mr. Figaro:] "boo."
[Mr. Clyde:] "Let's get right to the match as Twinky and Jack Dod face off in the first fall."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And Twinky has struck first blood here, forcing a tap out with his feared jujigatame. Twinky attacked Jack's arm a lot throughout this fall, and I think that was a smart strategy to not just get the win here, but to soften Jack up for the next fall as well."
Twinky McLanahan (O) [Jujigatame - 18:19] (X) Jack Dod
[Mr. Figaro:] "In a multi-part match like this, it's certainly a good idea to keep going after one body part. I don't know how injured Jack's arm is right now but he will have a little bit of time to rest it before the next fall. Still, you can't discount that Jack was effective as well in this match, sending Twinky painfully outside the ring and also beginning to focus on the leg a bit. We all know Jack has that painful "Four Figure" leglock which won him just about as many league matches as his DodSmack has."
[MJC:] "Plus, there's always cheating! Jack Dod is a cheater! A damn dirty cheater! And he was just waiting to catch Twinky in a situation where he could pull the wool over everyone's eyes. Go for a ruse, I tells ya!"
[Mr. Figaro:] "I think I'm starting to like this chick, Clyde!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "And that tells me we better take it to the next match."

[Mr. Figaro:] 'Sure THAT is a good idea?"
*Clyde looks at the card and gulps*
[Mr. Figaro:] 'That's what SHE said!!"
[MJC:] "Who? ME!"
[Mr. Figaro:] "No, Kat."
*Clyde hits Figaro up-side the head*
[Mr. Clyde:] "We arrive now at a match between two of the fastest rising wrestlers in OG-Joshi: Kat Black and Kim Cross. These two have had an amazing year in terms of wins and losses. Kat Black defeated the likes of Crimson Mask, Tigress Mask-"
[Mr. Figaro:] "Clyde's sexual repression MASK!"
[MJC:] "That doesn't sound like a real wrestler, Figaro."
[Mr. Clyde:] "Not to obviously change the topic Miss Carter, but is it uncomfortable doing commentary standing this whole time?"
[MJC:] "What a gentleman! Too bad Drake Yoshida isn't one. He told me that I have to do this while standing on the UBL stage so that everyone can see, supposedly, that there are more fans in the UBL Battle Chamber area behind me now *points to all the fans* then the Voltage area. I mean, I doubt anyone has counted but geez."
[Mr. Clyde:] "Understood."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Celes is actually speaking into my earpiece now and saying that Drake is a tool."
[Mr. Clyde:] "Ok, back to Kat Black and Kim Cross. I already went over Kat's victories but Kim has also had a phenomenal year as well. She defeated Jo Ryder at the Limit Break PPV, certainly a career-making match. She also beat Marie Reyes at last year's LAWLiday."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Kim Cross is what this whole company is ABOUT. Dignity, beauty, and excellence!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Unfortunately, someone in the front office decided it was best to force Kat and Kim to team together."
[MJC:] "Who? Celes? Geese?"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Louder."
[MJC:] "Ahhh, Figgy over there!" *Waves to Figaro*
[Mr. Figaro:] "Hi!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "After months of forcing these two to team and act like close allies, the tension finally erupted after a bad....dinner experience where we all ran afoul of former OG-Joshi wrestler Lori Cuozzo. And that was only followed by another bad experience where 'Figgy' over here inadvertently caused Kat Black to get pinned in a tag match when his interference backfired."
[Mr. Figaro:] "I maintain that was a camera trick by the Reed Sisters and I was actually sitting next to you that whole time!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Well physics disagrees, and so do I. That was the final straw in the tenuous alliance of Kat and Kim. We haven't really heard from Kat since but she appeared extremely angry when she left that match. How has Kim felt?"
[Mr. Figaro:] "Oh man!! Kim feels AMAZING! Her skin is like soft butter and-"
[MJC:] "EEW! More then we wanted to hear!"
[Mr. Figaro:] "But not nearly as much as I wanted to touch!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "See what I have to work with, Miss Carter?"
[MJC:] "At least you don't have some nameless narrator every week saying sexually harassing things to you!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "I'd offer to switch but then you'd be in an even worse position here."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Name any position you'd like Jean, and I'll make sure-"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Maybe we should just get to the match already. You're dangerously close to breaking your promise to behave, and that means no lobby snacks or song."
[Mr. Figaro:] *sad face*
[MJC:] "Who is your pick to win this, Clyde?"
[Mr. Clyde:] "I think Kat has rightful anger here but not the vicious type we have seen her have to use before, like against Crimson Mask or in LAWL. Meanwhile, Kim seems to be at her best WHEN she is eliciting anger from others. I think it is too close to call who is the better wrestler. Kim is a superb submissions wrestler and a capable striker. Kat's speed and striking are superior and she also has submission prowess. I really could not choose which one of these will walk out with the victory."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Ahh, you're just being nice, Clyde! You know Kim's my main squeeze and Kat is yours so you don't want to upset me by saying Kat will win. Look at this guy, Jean, he's a pal!"
[MJC:] "Well, the UBL fans here seem to be getting angry and aggressive having to sit through commentary for an OG-Joshi match, so let's get to the ring already!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "And Figaro, Celes told me that if you attempt to leave your chair to interfere, there WILL be repurcussions. And not just taking away your lobby song privileges."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Fine, fine!"

[MJC:] "Wow! Those two really went at each other!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "It was a fitting match for their talents, no doubt about that. You ok, Figaro?"
[Mr. Figaro:] "If it was anyone but Kat who beat Kim, I'd be crushed. But we gotta keep the family together!"
[MJC:] "I honestly thought Kim had this victory wrapped up but Kat rallied late and became unstoppable!
[Mr. Figaro:] "Oh, Clyde can tell you about her endurance and drive when things get close to a clima-"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Kim brought an incredible array of offence to this match but Kat brought hers exactly when Kim didn't expect it, and THAT was the key, in my mind. Those two Shadow Plunges came well after Kim expected Kat to have any fight left. But never ever count Kat Black out."
Kat Black (O) [Shadow Plunge - 15:26] (X) Kim Cross
[Mr. Figaro:] "Well I certainly hope these two put aside their diff-
[Mr. Clyde:] 'Wait, who is that?"
*We see someone jumping over the guard rail and getting in the ring. It's Lori Cuozzo!! And she just blindsided Kat Black!!*
[Mr. Figaro:] "GAHD DAMN!!! WHAT IS SHE DOING THERE!? THE COOZE IS ON THE LOOZE!"
*Lori hip checks Kat down and then mounts her. She begins throwing punches while shouting obscenities and Kat is too tired to defend! But before Lori can deliver any more punishment, Kim Cross fires off a low dropkick into her face! Kim pulls Lori off Kat and begins slapping the shit out of Lori!!*
[Mr. Figaro:] "YES!! THIS IS POETRY TO MY EYES!! SLAP THE COOZE!! SMACK HER UP GOOD, KIM!"
*But Kim doesn't see the ring apron being slowly raised from below as someone sneaks out*
[Mr. Clyde:] "Is that...yes, it's Crimson Mask! We haven't seen her for an entire year ever since Kat defeated her at the 3 Year Anniversary PPV!"
*Crimson Mask gets into the ring and immediately punches Kim in the face!! Lori falls through the ropes to the outside during the scuffle. Crimson looks at her but turns her attention back to Kim. Crimson takes out her sickle and lets out a sick laugh while she shouts out: "TIME TO RIP THAT FACE, MY PRETTY!!"
*Mr. Figaro almost has an aneurysism*
[Mr. Clyde:] "Wait, Figaro...look."
*Before Crimson can cut Kim's face, Kat Black delivers her OWN low dropkick to Crimson! Then Kat nails her with a diving front dropkick to the upper chest, bouncing her off the ropes. When she rebounds, Kim is able to shoulder block her right in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her. Crimson rolls out of the ring and goes to where Lori Cuozzi is standing. The two begin talking to each other, in a way that suggest discussing a strategy. They both approach the ring, getting on the apron, as Kat and Kim look at each other, nod, and then ready themselves for the aggressors outside*
[Mr. Figaro:] "Oh hell no, I ain't allowing this any longer!"
*Mr. Figaro runs to the ring BARKING threats!! Crimson and Lori see this and immediately bail out in separate directions back through the crowd. Figaro gets into the ring and marches around it challenging Crimson and Lori to get back inside. But once it's clear they don't, he settles down and begins talking to Kat and Kim.*
[Mr. Clyde:] "I hate to admit it, given Figaro's past actions, but I think he did the right thing here. Kat and Kim were both heroic in helping each other and battling those two off. But they have just been in a grueling match and I'm not sure they'd be able to handle a fresh, angry Lori and a very dangerous fresh Crimson Mask. They are the ones who were the uninvited guests, Figaro just evened the odds."
[MJC:] "Gotta agree with that, Clyde."
*Mr. Figaro continues to talk to both. Finally, Kim extends her hand to Kat. After a second of hesitation (and Figaro frantically nodding yes), Kim takes it and nods to Kim. Figaro attempts to hug them both, but Kat stomps his foot as Kat elbows his stomach. Kim laughs and Kat appears a bit jovial as well, for someone who's just been in a match and had to ward off two attackers! Figaro leads them both backstage, as they appear to be talking and patching up their differences.*
[Mr. Figaro:] "Hey Clyde, I just want to escort them to their lockerrooms and get some security there, ok?"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Yeah, go right ahead. Jean and I will get everyone ready for the next UBL match."
*Mr. Figaro leaves with Kat and Kim*
[MJC:] "That was sure something, Clyde. Do you think Lori and Crimson Mask planned this? And if so, are they alligned now? Neither of them strike be as the type to be able to have or hold too many friends!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "If they did plan this, my guess is that it was just a one night plan. I can't imagine either of them could deal with each other much longer. Celes is not gonna be happy about this, especially since Lori's suspension is still not up. And Crimson Mask's status in OG-Joshi is provisional, at best."
[MJC:] "Well, if one good thing came out of it, it's that Kat and Kim seemed fine with each other."
[Mr. Clyde:] "Kim may act...odd, at times, even a little egotistical. But she's in OG-Joshi for the right reasons. As is Kat, certainly. But I can't say that about Lori and certainly not Crimson Mask. I think Kat and Kim have a whole lot in common when constrasted with those two."
[MJC:] "Ok, ok!" *MJC is talking into her earpiece* "Sorry Clyde, Drake....*talks into her earpiece again* "Mr. Yoshida is telling me we have to talk about the next match!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Understood."

*Mr. Figaro comes back out from the curtain and sits down, excitedly."
[Mr. Figaro:] 'Woo! What did I miss!?"
[Mr. Clyde:] "You're just in time to discuss the tag match. How are Kat and Kim?"
[Mr. Figaro:] "They seem ok and I got some extra security outside their locker room. They are definitely pissed about Crimson and Lori but ttold me they'd deal with that later. Right now they are actually talking over the EPIC match they just had and seem to be in good spirits with each other. I knew we could make this family work, Clyde!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Uh, yeah. Miss Carter, if you would like to begin discussing our next match?"
[MJC:] "Sure, thanks! We are now ready for an encounter that is both the result of the 2007 Universal Champion Singles League and perhaps a bit of a preview of the 2008 Universal Battalion Tag League."
[Mr. Clyde:] "I know that "Snake Mountain" has been officially entered as one of the Battalion teams. That team consists of Nightmare and the 2006 Battalion Champions, Marauder and Naja Mask. Marauder got very close to winning the Universal Champion League and made quite an impact this year on the new United States based UBL fans."
[MJC:] "On the other side is another two men who almost won the Championship, Jason Hyde and Bak Fu. Bak Fu was a front runner to begin with and got a number of impressive and painful looking victories. But it was Jason Hyde who really shocked the world as to just how talented he was. He beat Orochi Geese, Jack Dod, and many others during the league."
[Mr. Clyde:] "I have to agree with you about Jason Hyde's performance. Jack or Twinky will officially win the league tonight, but if you ask me, Jason Hyde actually benefitted the most from the League experience in forging a name for himself through his victories and performances. Marauder is a close second, in that respect."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Then there's Jang Bae, who Mr. Clyde has full knowledge of in the ring."
[Mr. Clyde:] "Jang Bae and I had a number of matches on Open shows this past year. He defnitely impressed me with his in ring skills, martial arts prowess, and intensity. I do not know if he will be in the Battalion Tag League, but I will be. And I hope to face him again."
[Mr. Figaro:] Meanwhile, Bak Fu has a score to settle with Snake Mountain. Marauder began to build his momentum in this league by getting a shocking win over Bak Fu. It's not as shocking anymore now that we know what he is capable of after seeing Marauder's performance throughout the entire league. But wow, when he first defeated Bak Fu in one of the first weeks of the league, everyone was up in arms about the upset! While I am sure Bak Fu respects Marauder's in ring skills, he wants another shot at him."
[Mr. Clyde:] "And then there's Nightmare. Unlike Marauder, Nightmare attempted to attack Bak Fu from behind. This happened on the show before their match and did nothing to endear Bak to Nightmare. He even attacked Bak right before their match began. And while it is true that Nightmare had the best performance of the league against Bak, and won, it is also true that Bak was none too happy how Nightmare went about it. Bak wants revenge. Bak wants revenge against Nightmare and Naja Mask for jumping him after the match to make a point that their new Snake Mountain alliance was a dominant force. Bak Fu wants REVENGE, and that is NEVER a good place for anyone else to be. Even his teammates may want to stay out of his way as much as possible."
[Mr. Figaro:] "And Snake Mountain wants to prove that they are going to win the Battalion League this year by taking out a very strong opposing team. I do not know if the Jason, Jang, and Bak Fu team are set to be a Battalion team. My guess is no as I'd imagine Jang would team with his close ally, Thunder Strike. Plus, Bak doesn't seem like the biggest team player. He's a loner, a deadly one. DEADLY, but not as deadly as our analysis skills!"
[MJC:] "Really, the only reason Bak IS on this team tonight is that Sergeant Yoshida forced him to be here. This match was intended as both a morale boost for Snake Mountain, provided they win, but also as punishment for Jang, Jason, and Bak for "being insubordinate" in Mr. Yoshida's eyes. So we will have to see just how well these three do work together."
[Mr. Clyde:] "We have witnessed Jason and Jang working well in the past as there is some connection between them with Jang's Tae Kwon Do students Alicia Gordon and Marie Reyes being friends with Jason and his sister Angelica Hyde. Due to that, Jason has been pretty strong allies with Jang and Thunder Strike throughout the first year of the new UBL. We also know that Jason and Bak Fu have a lot of respect for each other as we saw throughout the league and in their match. As for Bak and Jang, I'd imagine they have the respect for each other that two practicioners of the martial arts usually have. But as I cautioned before, Jang and Jason better stand back when Bak is getting the revenge he craves against Nightmare and Naja as well."
[MJC:] "I think we've said it all guys! Let's get to the match!"

We all know Jack has that painful "Four Figure" leglock which won him just about as many league matches as his DodSmack has."
[MJC:] "Plus, there's always cheating! Jack Dod is a cheater! A damn dirty cheater! And he was just waiting to catch Twinky in a situation where he could pull the wool over everyone's eyes. Go for a ruse, I tells ya!"
[Mr. Figaro:] "I think I'm starting to like this chick, Clyde!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "And that tells me we better take it to the next match."

[Mr. Figaro:] 'Sure THAT is a good idea?"
*Clyde looks at the card and gulps*
[Mr. Figaro:] 'That's what SHE said!!"
[MJC:] "Who? ME!"
[Mr. Figaro:] "No, Kat."
*Clyde hits Figaro up-side the head*
[Mr. Clyde:] "We arrive now at a match between two of the fastest rising wrestlers in OG-Joshi: Kat Black and Kim Cross. These two have had an amazing year in terms of wins and losses. Kat Black defeated the likes of Crimson Mask, Tigress Mask-"
[Mr. Figaro:] "Clyde's sexual repression MASK!"
[MJC:] "That doesn't sound like a real wrestler, Figaro."
[Mr. Clyde:] "Not to obviously change the topic Miss Carter, but is it uncomfortable doing commentary standing this whole time?"
[MJC:] "What a gentleman! Too bad Drake Yoshida isn't one. He told me that I have to do this while standing on the UBL stage so that everyone can see, supposedly, that there are more fans in the UBL Battle Chamber area behind me now *points to all the fans* then the Voltage area. I mean, I doubt anyone has counted but geez."
[Mr. Clyde:] "Understood."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Celes is actually speaking into my earpiece now and saying that Drake is a tool."
[Mr. Clyde:] "Ok, back to Kat Black and Kim Cross. I already went over Kat's victories but Kim has also had a phenomenal year as well. She defeated Jo Ryder at the Limit Break PPV, certainly a career-making match. She also beat Marie Reyes at last year's LAWLiday."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Kim Cross is what this whole company is ABOUT. Dignity, beauty, and excellence!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Unfortunately, someone in the front office decided it was best to force Kat and Kim to team together."
[MJC:] "Who? Celes? Geese?"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Louder."
[MJC:] "Ahhh, Figgy over there!" *Waves to Figaro*
[Mr. Figaro:] "Hi!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "After months of forcing these two to team and act like close allies, the tension finally erupted after a bad....dinner experience where we all ran afoul of former OG-Joshi wrestler Lori Cuozzo. And that was only followed by another bad experience where 'Figgy' over here inadvertently caused Kat Black to get pinned in a tag match when his interference backfired."
[Mr. Figaro:] "I maintain that was a camera trick by the Reed Sisters and I was actually sitting next to you that whole time!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Well physics disagrees, and so do I. That was the final straw in the tenuous alliance of Kat and Kim. We haven't really heard from Kat since but she appeared extremely angry when she left that match. How has Kim felt?"
[Mr. Figaro:] "Oh man!! Kim feels AMAZING! Her skin is like soft butter and-"
[MJC:] "EEW! More then we wanted to hear!"
[Mr. Figaro:] "But not nearly as much as I wanted to touch!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "See what I have to work with, Miss Carter?"
[MJC:] "At least you don't have some nameless narrator every week saying sexually harassing things to you!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "I'd offer to switch but then you'd be in an even worse position here."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Name any position you'd like Jean, and I'll make sure-"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Maybe we should just get to the match already. You're dangerously close to breaking your promise to behave, and that means no lobby snacks or song."
[Mr. Figaro:] *sad face*
[MJC:] "Who is your pick to win this, Clyde?"
[Mr. Clyde:] "I think Kat has rightful anger here but not the vicious type we have seen her have to use before, like against Crimson Mask or in LAWL. Meanwhile, Kim seems to be at her best WHEN she is eliciting anger from others. I think it is too close to call who is the better wrestler. Kim is a superb submissions wrestler and a capable striker. Kat's speed and striking are superior and she also has submission prowess. I really could not choose which one of these will walk out with the victory."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Ahh, you're just being nice, Clyde! You know Kim's my main squeeze and Kat is yours so you don't want to upset me by saying Kat will win. Look at this guy, Jean, he's a pal!"
[MJC:] "Well, the UBL fans here seem to be getting angry and aggressive having to sit through commentary for an OG-Joshi match, so let's get to the ring already!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "And Figaro, Celes told me that if you attempt to leave your chair to interfere, there WILL be repurcussions. And not just taking away your lobby song privileges."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Fine, fine!"

[MJC:] "Wow! Those two really went at each other!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "It was a fitting match for their talents, no doubt about that. You ok, Figaro?"
[Mr. Figaro:] "If it was anyone but Kat who beat Kim, I'd be crushed. But we gotta keep the family together!"
[MJC:] "I honestly thought Kim had this victory wrapped up but Kat rallied late and became unstoppable!
[Mr. Figaro:] "Oh, Clyde can tell you about her endurance and drive when things get close to a clima-"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Kim brought an incredible array of offence to this match but Kat brought hers exactly when Kim didn't expect it, and THAT was the key, in my mind. Those two Shadow Plunges came well after Kim expected Kat to have any fight left. But never ever count Kat Black out."
Kat Black (O) [Shadow Plunge - 15:26] (X) Kim Cross
[Mr. Figaro:] "Well I certainly hope these two put aside their diff-
[Mr. Clyde:] 'Wait, who is that?"
*We see someone jumping over the guard rail and getting in the ring. It's Lori Cuozzo!! And she just blindsided Kat Black!!*
[Mr. Figaro:] "GAHD DAMN!!! WHAT IS SHE DOING THERE!? THE COOZE IS ON THE LOOZE!"
*Lori hip checks Kat down and then mounts her. She begins throwing punches while shouting obscenities and Kat is too tired to defend! But before Lori can deliver any more punishment, Kim Cross fires off a low dropkick into her face! Kim pulls Lori off Kat and begins slapping the shit out of Lori!!*
[Mr. Figaro:] "YES!! THIS IS POETRY TO MY EYES!! SLAP THE COOZE!! SMACK HER UP GOOD, KIM!"
*But Kim doesn't see the ring apron being slowly raised from below as someone sneaks out*
[Mr. Clyde:] "Is that...yes, it's Crimson Mask! We haven't seen her for an entire year ever since Kat defeated her at the 3 Year Anniversary PPV!"
*Crimson Mask gets into the ring and immediately punches Kim in the face!! Lori falls through the ropes to the outside during the scuffle. Crimson looks at her but turns her attention back to Kim. Crimson takes out her sickle and lets out a sick laugh while she shouts out: "TIME TO RIP THAT FACE, MY PRETTY!!"
*Mr. Figaro almost has an aneurysism*
[Mr. Clyde:] "Wait, Figaro...look."
*Before Crimson can cut Kim's face, Kat Black delivers her OWN low dropkick to Crimson! Then Kat nails her with a diving front dropkick to the upper chest, bouncing her off the ropes. When she rebounds, Kim is able to shoulder block her right in the stomach, knocking the wind out of her. Crimson rolls out of the ring and goes to where Lori Cuozzi is standing. The two begin talking to each other, in a way that suggest discussing a strategy. They both approach the ring, getting on the apron, as Kat and Kim look at each other, nod, and then ready themselves for the aggressors outside*
[Mr. Figaro:] "Oh hell no, I ain't allowing this any longer!"
*Mr. Figaro runs to the ring BARKING threats!! Crimson and Lori see this and immediately bail out in separate directions back through the crowd. Figaro gets into the ring and marches around it challenging Crimson and Lori to get back inside. But once it's clear they don't, he settles down and begins talking to Kat and Kim.*
[Mr. Clyde:] "I hate to admit it, given Figaro's past actions, but I think he did the right thing here. Kat and Kim were both heroic in helping each other and battling those two off. But they have just been in a grueling match and I'm not sure they'd be able to handle a fresh, angry Lori and a very dangerous fresh Crimson Mask. They are the ones who were the uninvited guests, Figaro just evened the odds."
[MJC:] "Gotta agree with that, Clyde."
*Mr. Figaro continues to talk to both. Finally, Kim extends her hand to Kat. After a second of hesitation (and Figaro frantically nodding yes), Kim takes it and nods to Kim. Figaro attempts to hug them both, but Kat stomps his foot as Kat elbows his stomach. Kim laughs and Kat appears a bit jovial as well, for someone who's just been in a match and had to ward off two attackers! Figaro leads them both backstage, as they appear to be talking and patching up their differences.*
[Mr. Figaro:] "Hey Clyde, I just want to escort them to their lockerrooms and get some security there, ok?"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Yeah, go right ahead. Jean and I will get everyone ready for the next UBL match."
*Mr. Figaro leaves with Kat and Kim*
[MJC:] "That was sure something, Clyde. Do you think Lori and Crimson Mask planned this? And if so, are they alligned now? Neither of them strike be as the type to be able to have or hold too many friends!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "If they did plan this, my guess is that it was just a one night plan. I can't imagine either of them could deal with each other much longer. Celes is not gonna be happy about this, especially since Lori's suspension is still not up. And Crimson Mask's status in OG-Joshi is provisional, at best."
[MJC:] "Well, if one good thing came out of it, it's that Kat and Kim seemed fine with each other."
[Mr. Clyde:] "Kim may act...odd, at times, even a little egotistical. But she's in OG-Joshi for the right reasons. As is Kat, certainly. But I can't say that about Lori and certainly not Crimson Mask. I think Kat and Kim have a whole lot in common when constrasted with those two."
[MJC:] "Ok, ok!" *MJC is talking into her earpiece* "Sorry Clyde, Drake....*talks into her earpiece again* "Mr. Yoshida is telling me we have to talk about the next match!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Understood."

*Mr. Figaro comes back out from the curtain and sits down, excitedly."
[Mr. Figaro:] 'Woo! What did I miss!?"
[Mr. Clyde:] "You're just in time to discuss the tag match. How are Kat and Kim?"
[Mr. Figaro:] "They seem ok and I got some extra security outside their locker room. They are definitely pissed about Crimson and Lori but ttold me they'd deal with that later. Right now they are actually talking over the EPIC match they just had and seem to be in good spirits with each other. I knew we could make this family work, Clyde!"
[Mr. Clyde:] "Uh, yeah. Miss Carter, if you would like to begin discussing our next match?"
[MJC:] "Sure, thanks! We are now ready for an encounter that is both the result of the 2007 Universal Champion Singles League and perhaps a bit of a preview of the 2008 Universal Battalion Tag League."
[Mr. Clyde:] "I know that "Snake Mountain" has been officially entered as one of the Battalion teams. That team consists of Nightmare and the 2006 Battalion Champions, Marauder and Naja Mask. Marauder got very close to winning the Universal Champion League and made quite an impact this year on the new United States based UBL fans."
[MJC:] "On the other side is another two men who almost won the Championship, Jason Hyde and Bak Fu. Bak Fu was a front runner to begin with and got a number of impressive and painful looking victories. But it was Jason Hyde who really shocked the world as to just how talented he was. He beat Orochi Geese, Jack Dod, and many others during the league."
[Mr. Clyde:] "I have to agree with you about Jason Hyde's performance. Jack or Twinky will officially win the league tonight, but if you ask me, Jason Hyde actually benefitted the most from the League experience in forging a name for himself through his victories and performances. Marauder is a close second, in that respect."
[Mr. Figaro:] "Then there's Jang Bae, who Mr. Clyde has full knowledge of in the ring."
[Mr. Clyde:] "Jang Bae and I had a number of matches on Open shows this past year. He defnitely impressed me with his in ring skills, martial arts prowess, and intensity. I do not know if he will be in the Battalion Tag League, but I will be. And I hope to face him again."
[Mr. Figaro:] Meanwhile, Bak Fu has a score to settle with Snake Mountain. Marauder began to build his momentum in this league by getting a shocking win over Bak Fu. It's not as shocking anymore now that we know what he is capable of after seeing Marauder's performance throughout the entire league. But wow, when he first defeated Bak Fu in one of the first weeks of the league, everyone was up in arms about the upset! While I am sure Bak Fu respects Marauder's in ring skills, he wants another shot at him."
[Mr. Clyde:] "And then there's Nightmare. Unlike Marauder, Nightmare attempted to attack Bak Fu from behind. This happened on the show before their match and did nothing to endear Bak to Nightmare. He even attacked Bak right before their match began. And while it is true that Nightmare had the best performance of the league against Bak, and won, it is also true that Bak was none too happy how Nightmare went about it. Bak wants revenge. Bak wants revenge against Nightmare and Naja Mask for jumping him after the match to make a point that their new Snake Mountain alliance was a dominant force. Bak Fu wants REVENGE, and that is NEVER a good place for anyone else to be. Even his teammates may want to stay out of his way as much as possible."
[Mr. Figaro:] "And Snake Mountain wants to prove that they are going to win the Battalion League this year by taking out a very strong opposing team. I do not know if the Jason, Jang, and Bak Fu team are set to be a Battalion team. My guess is no as I'd imagine Jang would team with his close ally, Thunder Strike. Plus, Bak doesn't seem like the biggest team player. He's a loner, a deadly one. DEADLY, but not as deadly as our analysis skills!"
[MJC:] "Really, the only reason Bak IS on this team tonight is that Sergeant Yoshida forced him to be here. This match was intended as both a morale boost for Snake Mountain, provided they win, but also as punishment for Jang, Jason, and Bak for "being insubordinate" in Mr. Yoshida's eyes. So we will have to see just how well these three do work together."
[Mr. Clyde:] "We have witnessed Jason and Jang working well in the past as there is some connection between them with Jang's Tae Kwon Do students Alicia Gordon and Marie Reyes being friends with Jason and his sister Angelica Hyde. Due to that, Jason has been pretty strong allies with Jang and Thunder Strike throughout the first year of the new UBL. We also know that Jason and Bak Fu have a lot of respect for each other as we saw throughout the league and in their match. As for Bak and Jang, I'd imagine they have the respect for each other that two practicioners of the martial arts usually have. But as I cautioned before, Jang and Jason better stand back when Bak is getting the revenge he craves against Nightmare and Naja as well."
[MJC:] "I think we've said it all guys! Let's get to the match!"
