*We fade in to the commentator table. Mr. Clyde has a neck brace on and Mr. Figaro is doing his best to smile but it appears forced.*

[Mr. Clyde:] "Hello everyone and welcome to the OG-Joshi Renaissance PPV."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Yo."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Figaro, there's no telling how many more of these shows we're gonna have the opportunity or will to host - so, please try to ignore my recent UBL predicament. As incentive, for this night only, I'm giving you free reign to be your old self and uh *sighs* 'get Figgy with it."

*A small grin appears on the side of Figaro's mouth.*

[Mr. Figaro:] "What was that? Can you say that again?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Get Figgy with it."

*The grin finds itself moving across Figaro's mouth.*

[Mr. Figaro:] "Maybe...I'd get into the spirit more if you SANG it."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Don't push it."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Heh heh, but I get what you're saying lil buddy, the OG-Joshi audience deserves Big Papa Figgy for this night and I'm bringing the South Figaro flow to their door. Hit it!

"Drop top Chocobo taking us for a ride,
9 claws in my pocket for some Kefkacide,
Going to the Colosseum to make some mad cash,
Saving up my gold for a +3 power sash-"

How many dragons do I gotta blitz flat?
Got my brother backing me with a crossbow gat.
Clyde's jumping in the air like he just don't care,
And our party's being led by General Celes Ch-"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Ok, that's quite enough. While I appreciate your renewed spirit, I'd prefer it in more manageable snippets. As tonight will bring in a new era for OG-Joshi, if General Celes is to be believed. And that era should focus on in ring action and little talk or antics."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Ahhh, but Clyde, what about you? You loquacious lover of words...and Kat Black."

[Mr. Clyde:] "As such, let us get to the first match of the night brought to us by Amplitude."

[Mr. Figaro:] "LAWL too, Clyde?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "No, even though Cynthia is on the LAWL roster, LAWL had nothing to do with Cynthia's attack on Gutter and Gloria Reyes even condemned it. This is not an interpromotional match, Cynthia is only representing herself here and while she isn't officially on the OG-Joshi roster, Celes agreed to allow her to be on the card due to Gutter's desire to face her."

[Mr. Figaro:] "I'm sure it helped Gutter's efforts to have a friend in the front office too."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Jean didn't wanted this match to take place. Celes didn't either. But perhaps Celes figured that if it happened under OG-Joshi rules, that perhaps it would be under more control. That said, I will warn the audience that these two are both known for their "hardcore" style. And it is very possible things get especially violent here given the fact that both of them have already pulled knives on each other twice."

[Mr. Figaro:] "The third time they do it, they get a free toasted sandwich."

[Mr. Clyde:] "It seems as if Cynthia San Martino has challenged Gutter's "street cred" and Gutter has fought back, despite the more peace-loving tendencies of Jean Carter. But what happens here, when it's just 1 on 1 when no one but the ref will be there to hold them back?"

[Mr. Figaro:] "Oooh can I say it!?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Go right ahead."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Let's get to the match and find out! Yeah!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "To keep the focus on action tonight we'll be moving right along after each match."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Unless someone like sprouts an eggplant or something, that would be newsworthy."


Gutter (O) [Mad Splash - 13:15] (X) Cynthia San Martino


[Mr. Clyde:] "Now it's time for our second match of the evening, also brought to you by Amplitude."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Reminding you to 'Do the 'Tude.'"

[Mr. Clyde:] "That is NOT the Amplitude slogan."

[Mr. Figaro:] "What about 'To the Dude?'"

[Mr. Clyde:] "What about Shino vs. Tigress Mask."

[Mr. Figaro:] "What about "You are Rude?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "This is actually Shino of KENTA! Army's debut match, if you can believe that based on the high level of influence she appears to have over KENTA! Army. She will be facing Tigress Mask, a woman who has shown us flashes of brilliance in PPV's. She had a very memorable 'best 2 out of 3 falls' match with Dizzy at Unleashed in 2006 and was the KNIT winner in late 2005."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Now Tigress and Shino are fighting over the VERY SOUL of Keina."

[Mr. Clyde:] "That's only partially true."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Fine not the VERY SOUL, Clyde, jeez, let me have SOME fun..."

[Mr. Clyde:] "I was gonna say it's Naomi, not Keina, whose "soul" they are fighting over."

[Mr. Figaro:] "..."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And in a way, you are correct - maybe it's not the "soul" but it certainly is Naomi's fighting spirit that is being sought by both sides, Naomi has benefited very much from Tigress Mask helping her and, in general, being supportive. This has, not surprisingly, been more beneficial to her then Shino's constant disparaging comments and harassing, borderline abusive, actions. And so Shino has grown jealous of Tigress Mask's standing with Naomi and wants to show her superiority over Tigress to Naomi. Tigress just wants Naomi to be able to train with whoever she wants to and be treated respectfully."

[Mr. Figaro:] "I think Tigress wants that for all of KENTA! Army and I can see why..."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Shino is out now with what appears to be a KENTA! Army version of the "Gracie Train."

[Mr. Figaro:] "A KENTA! ARMY TRAIN! ALL ABOARD INDEED!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Shino has her head high but the other three are looking down. When the crowd cheers Naomi and Keina, Shino hits them both before getting into the ring. This really needs to stop. And Tigress Mask is out next and rushes right to the ring. Naomi claps her hands for her but then Shino sees it and directs Hiromi to slap her. If I had a heart, this would be heartbreaking."


Match #2: Tigress Mask vs. Shino

[Mr. Clyde:] "And they waste no time going at each other. Tigress shoots at Shino with a double leg tackle but Shino reverses into back mount. Tigress reverses from there into her own back mount and messes up Shino's hair a bit, before voluntarily getting off. Not sure why she did that..."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Clearly to humble Shino in front of the rest of the KENTA Army, Clyde!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "I think an immediate win within 10 seconds of the match would have served the same purpose and have been safer. But I suppose a dominant win would consist of Tigress giving Shino the opportunities and still defeating her. If she can take away Shino's legitimacy in the ring, then perhaps KENTA! Army can think more for themselves. In any case, Shino isn't very happy about this and immediately goes into a series of very harsh leg kicks. That will soften Tigress up for any leg based submissions as well as hinder Tigress' arguably greatest asset, her great speed."

[Mr. Figaro:] "But Tigress is doing a good job checking those kicks and manages to actually sweep Tigress using the very lightning fast speed you mentioned! Foreshadowing, Clyde!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Tigress mounts her again and goes right for the arm, but Shino gets to the ropes. More appropriately, Hiromi brought the rope to Shino. She's not allowed to do that."

[Mr. Figaro:] "The ref, Fry is admonishing Hiromi but she's shaking her head as if she didn't do anything wrong. Clyde, I don't think she actually BELIEVES she did anything wrong. Out of all the Army, Shino seems to have had the strongest influence on Hiromi, effectively brainwashing her."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Tigress tells Hiromi to back off but this just causes Shino to get a surprise attack and take Tigress down with a back mount into a potential Rear Naked Choke. She almost has it cinched in but Tigress uses her agility again to escape it by rocking back and forth which allowed her to use her momentum to actually hurl Shino out of the ring in between the mat and the first rope. Very nice maneuver there. Shino is arguing with Keina now, I have no idea why. Keina was just standing there minding her own business."

[Mr. Figaro:] "THAT is why. Shino wants Keina to help her get an unfair advantage."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And this gives Tigress time to run the ropes and hit a HUGE space flying tiger right onto Shino!! Unfortunately this causes Keina to take a spill too, I'm sure that was unintentional. But Hiromi uses this opportunity to run and attack Tigress. And Naomi gets in between them! Naomi has stopped any attack on Tigress outside and Hiromi is very angry! Tigress gets back inside while Hiromi helps Shino up and tells her what just happened. And Shino is running after Naomi!"

[Mr. Figaro:] "Naomi runs into the ring and Shino chases her, but she isn't paying enough attention to Tigress who jumps on Shino's back with her own rear naked choke! Shino collapses under the weight of Tigress and has no where to go! And she taps immediately."

[Mr. Clyde:] "This match is over, Tigress has won. And pretty decisively in my opinion."


Tigress Mask (O) [Rear Naked Choke - 9:30 ] (X) Shino

[Mr. Figaro:] " I'm surprised that Shino gave up so fast. She seems more stubborn then that-"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Here's your answer. The second Tigress turned her back to celebrate, Shino pounced on her. And now Hiromi is in the ring and the two have double teamed Tigress! This match is over but the attack isn't. And now Keina is in the ring and she doesn't know what to do. Shino is barking at her to avenge the attack from before but Keina is just standing around scared."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Naomi is now besides herself as Shino and Hiromi beat Tigress down with kicks."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Hiromi now has Tigress in a Dragon Sleeper and what's this..."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Shino has just grabbed the mask of Tigress Mask and yanked it from her! Shino has de-masked Tigress!! I can not believe this!!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "In Japan, a mask is a sign of honor and for this to happen is one of the biggest insults one could ever perform on Tigress. Naomi is crying and Keina isn't quite sure what to think but she appears to be stopping Naomi from doing anything to help Tigress while Shino and Hiromi continue to beat on her. Finally, General Celes comes out with security to run off KENTA! Army as Naomi sits there in the ring crying next to the downed and de-masked Tigress."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Wow, I...can not believe what we just saw. KENTA! Army, with the exception of Naomi, has just turned vicious and Tigress Mask is no longer Tigress Mask! She's kinda cute though-"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Folks, we are going to head to the stands while medics attend to this situation."


*We go up to a luxury box in the stands of the Peter Venkman Memorial Arena where we see pro wrestling megastar Julian Caesaro sitting with three lovely ladies.*

[Ceese:] Ok, ladies..Its time to introduce ya self to the world..Make daddy proud..

*The girls giggle and all three kiss Ceese on the cheek*

[Val:] Hello world! Like...My name is Valencia..Last name is not important, really..Like, Mr. Caesaro and Avie *Avalon coughs* Oh..I mean Avalon founded me on the streets of Spain--

[Gabi:] Bitch, why you lyin..You know they found your ass behind Burger King givin--

[Avalon:] Gabi..Be quiet..Go on Val..

[Val:] Thank you Avalon..Gabi is such a big...meanie. Anyway, Like..I have the most beautiful face in the world..Why..Like Ceese told me..and iy made me feel special..I am a sweet hearted person..Love to take long walks on beaches and I love puppy dogs..YAY Puppies! *Val voice goes down a couple of notches and her spanish accent comes in* And a warning to the bitches in OG Joshi..If anyone touches my face with their dirty nails..I will personally end their career.."

*Gabi and Avalon looks at Val with a surprised look, while Ceese smiles. Avalon looks at Ceese and elbows him in the ribs*

[Ceese:] Ow! Ok..Gabi..ur turn, mami..

*The camera pans to Gabriella Breeze, A tall and thick woman with a cute baby face but a angry personality*

[Gabi:] My name is Gabriella Breeze...and I beat small bitches up...*The crew looks at her waiting to say more* What?

[Avalon:] That's it?

[Gabi:] Pretty much..Its self explanatory..I see a bitch..I beat a bitch..Point blank.

[Ceese:] O....K...Baby..Its ur turn..

[Avalon:] The name is Avalon Porter...AKA The Queen of Royale...I am the HBIC...Head Bitch In Charge...I gets it done..Ain't that right baby?

[Ceese:] Hell Yeah..

[Avalon:] Now, I came with my gurls to stake our claim here..Especially knock off that slut, Holly Walker..She is nothing but a wannabe HBIC...There is nothing that's gonna stop me from taking her out..Woman...or Man...We are the Royale Deities...and OG-Joshi..U have been put on notice..And thats the queen tellin you that shit...

[Deities:] The Royale Scripture..

[Gabi:] Can we go..Im hungry..

[Val:]*mumbles* You always hungry, ya fat bitch..

[Gabi:] What ho?

[Val:] Nothin..


*We go back to ringside and the commentators.*

[Mr. Figaro:] "Ok, Gabi vs. Patty Sirloin in a "5 Napkins match. Cause tissues aren't strong enou-"

[Mr. Clyde:] "We'll discuss later why that was inappropriate. Now, we have some good news for you fans. Tigress was able to leave the ring on her own power so she appears to be in ok health, but did so with her head down. Naomi followed her and was in absolute fits of hysterics with tears streaming down her face. She even took off her KENTA! Army jacket and put it over Tigress' head to try to cover her up."

[Mr. Figaro:] "You gotta feel for Tigress, she hasn't had an easy road here in OG-Joshi. She had to deal with Yoyo Banzai early on, then Crimson Mask, and now this."

[Mr. Clyde:] "OG-Joshi isn't an easy place to work in, nor is UBL for that matter. But I'd like to think that the good outweighs the bad and at least two wrestlers in the next match certainly embody that. The Reed Sisters have been nothing but a bright spot for OG-Joshi since debuting. They are dedicated to their craft and never trash talk or start trouble. They are model OG-Joshi wrestlers, especially in a Renaissance era.

[Mr. Figaro:] "But they are going against pretty much their polar opposites in the mischievous DARKNESS Diva and the always wily and unruly Yoyo Banzai. They break rules."

[Mr. Clyde:] "This match is the finale of a tournament, started at the last Amplitude, to crown a #1 Contender to the OG-Joshi Tag Team Championships. Whoever wins this match will be the new contenders and will get a chance to challenge the Champions, whoever they may be, at the following PPV. The Reeds have never had a title shot and while Yoyo has had a few opportunities to gain one, she hasn't either."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Let's be honest - Diva is lucky she's still employed."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Not entirely off the mark. Though she's been manipulated on such a high level by Yoyo that it's amazing she is able to walk on her own power. However, that has given Diva a higher profile in tag matches with Yoyo then in singles matches, as the team has gelled. But the question is can they be more 'in tune' then two sisters like Melody and Harmony? We will find out now."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Yoyo really doesn't give a damn about DARKNESS Diva."

[Mr. Clyde:] "But she SHOULD give a damn about a shot at the Tag TItles."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Maybe she felt she had to be paid more to put in more effort?"

Melody/Harmony (O) [Standing Moonsault - 22:40] (X) DARKNESS Diva/Yoyo Banzai


[Mr. Clyde:] "We come next to perhaps the most awaited Amplitude match tonight - the rematch of Eris Byrne and Lina. In their first match they put on an incredible fight that went to a count out victory for Lina. But this time, that particular result can NOT happen as we are operating under "no count out" rules."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Lina elevated herself immediately as one of the most competitive and able fighters on the roster by defeating Eris, who already had amassed a very respectable record on Voltage before the Amplitude roster formed. So impressive was her record there that even to this day, she remains one of the top ranked wrestlers on Amplitude, even after losing to Lina."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Interesting to note is that Eris seems to legitimately respect Lina after that first match they had. Eris hasn't exactly made a lot of friends in OG-Joshi and the fact that she enjoyed fighting Lina certainly came as a surprise. But there has been some friction due to the events of the Eris vs. Naomi match during Amplitude and Eris and Lina's mutual respect certainly has amassed a bit of aggression."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Well Eris made that first challenge and Lina called her out on it, so you know these two are gonna have that tension from the start. But when Lina helped save Tigress and Naomi, I think that hit a nerve for Eris and tonight we'll see how she responds."

[Mr. Clyde:] "The fan support for Lina has been incredible. She has her own section of the crowd which is rapidly growing and every time she comes out, the arena is overtaken with a cacophany of cheers. She is one of those talents that come around so rarely who has a fighting spirit which electrifies the crowd. But Eris, she is not a dime a dozen either, she deeply understands what it takes to win in that ring and I think she may be the most capable wrestler on the Amplitude roster right now. This rematch will really show what these two can do when they have to dig deep down against top opposition and Celes is looking on closely."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Let's get to it then! Celes don't have all night!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "And a very wily move by Eris Byrne there."

[Mr. Figaro:] "This match was very competitive and Lina was in very close reach of winning. But Eris Byrne, the self-proclaimed "Queen of Chaos", lived up to her name here: winning by any means necessary. Frankly, I wouldn't be surprised, or upset, if Eris grabbed a handful of tights in that pinfall! Pics please!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Not surprising but not proven either, let's give her the benefit of the doubt for now."

Lina (X) [School Girl - 15:08] (O) Eris Byrne


[Mr. Clyde:] "And I'm being told we're about to go backstage now where I believe there is some interaction between Azumi Oonishi and Nicole Dramesi."

[Mr. Figaro:] "In one of her latest diatribes, Holly alleged that the only reason Azumi is in the Battle Royale tonight is because she is using Nicole as a bargaining chip, intimidating Celes by violence. Now, Celes will NOT be intimidated but beyond that, Azumi doesn't seem like the type that would ever do that."

[Mr. Clyde:] "While it IS true that Azumi knew that Dizzy was returning the night she did with Nicole, Azumi knew nothing of Dramesi's involvement or future plans for OG-Joshi."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Well if that IS the case, what business do you think Azumi would have with Nicole? You'd imagine that, as mutual friends of Dizzy, there may be some alliance there?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Nicole said she was here to destroy OG-Joshi, could Azumi be in on it?"

*We go backstage to see Azumi Oonishi speaking to a rather stone faced Nicole Dramesi."

[Azumi:] "So...have you heard from Dizzy?"

*NIcole doesn't answer but starts to grin."

[Azumi:] "Uh...well good luck against Juli and if you hear from Diz-"

*Nicole's smile is completed as she picks Azumi up with one hand and throws her THROUGH the dry wall. Azumi is immediately knocked out and half her body is wedged between the wall. Medics immediately rush to the scene as Nicole saunters off casually, whistling a tune.*

[Mr. Clyde:] "We've seen a lot here in OG-Joshi and that may have been the most wonton act of unnecessary violence and destruction we ever witnessed."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Clyde - I seriously can't take much more of this shit."

[Mr. Clyde:] "I know, that was completely unexpected and unprovoked."

[Mr. Figaro:] "I don't care if you're a Dod, a Dramesi, a Krieger... or a Geese - you gotta learn that there are things in this world you can't do without it catching up to you...with interest."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Let's get to the ring, we're about to have our next match,."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Is Azumi going to be ok!?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Medics are checking on her right now. One thing is for sure - she won't be able to participate in the Battle Royale tonight. She's literally wedged into a wall."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Fuck this, Clyde."

*Mr. Figaro gets up and begins walking backstage. We see him walking the halls until he gets to where Azumi is. He then clears the medics away and uses his elbows to start breaking the rest of the wall. His elbows become a bloody mess but finally, she is freed enough for Figaro to place her gently on a gurney for the medics to work on. He walks back to the commentary table.*

[Mr. Clyde:] "Good work. But you'll probably be fined for the F-Bomb."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Heh. Let Geese take it out of my salary along with the wall I just took down. Azumi looks ok, she woke up a bit when I broke her out. She won't be wrestling anytime soon but she doesn't appear to have a neck injury, miraculously. Still, let's make no mistake of this:

*Mr. Figaro stands up and looks at the camera completely transfixed*

[Mr. Figaro:] "If someone else tries something like what Nicole did to Azumi tonight, ANYONE, I will personally drive my elbow through your skull. Are we crystal f'n clear? OG-Joshi? UBL? I don't care who you are or what group you belong to - I will wreck you. End of story, end of career."

*Mr. Figaro sits back down and smiles at Clyde.*

[Mr. Figaro:] "Now what was that about the next match?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Hold on, I'm getting word right now from Celes that Azumi suffered a concussion and a sprained back. She is officially out of her match tonight and on the way to the hospital. As a result, there is an open slot in the Battle Royale which will be given to the winner of the match between the two women on Amplitude with the best record - Jenna Stone and Kristin Blade, two women already set to face each other tonight. That match is up next, and it is now for a spot in the #1 Contenders Battle Royale."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Well I hate how it happened but one of these two women have a great opportunity right now. They are potentially two matches away from an OG-Joshi World Title shot."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And I'm sure this reality won't be lost on either women who have really made big names for themselves on Amplitude in the last year. There is no ill will between them, they are simply competing to be the best and now with this new stipulation, the pot has been sweetened."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Don't do drugs, kids."

[Mr. Clyde:] "So not what I meant."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Let's get to the match. Watching some legitimate and respectable competition might make me feel better. Not to mention Jenna's enthusiasm. And by that I also mean her butt."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And you have to hand it to both women who really raised their games here."

[Mr. Figaro:] "But it was Jenna Stone with a huge momentum burst at the end to win!"


Jenna Stone (O) [Northern Lights Suplex - 18:09] (X) Kristin Blade


*Fields of Fantasy" play on the loud speakers as General Celes comes down to ringside.

[Celes:] "It is now this show's midpoint before we get to our Voltage matches. But rather then use this time as a pointless intermission, we have a big announcement from both wrestling promotions under the Orochi-O's umbrella. As such, I would like to bring out the owner, Orochi Geese, and the Sergeant of UBL, Drake Yoshida. Fans, please hold back your true feelings just so that we can get on with this..."

*Celes smirks as the audience laughs a bit. Orochi Geese, flanked by Drake Yoshida come out and make their way into the ring with microphones, met with mild boos that abate soon after they get into the ring.*

[Geese:] "As many of you know, the rosters for both OG-Joshi and UBL have undergrown much growth in the last year, particularly these last few months. And there are even more promising wrestlers standing by waiting to join both rosters. As I do not especially like to waste talent or pay wrestlers to sit at home when there are not enough match opportunities on shows, I have come up with a solution."

*Orochi Geese raises his hand and a banner unfurls from the ceiling that says "Orochi-O's TV."

[Geese:] "Orochi-O's TV will be a new and very frequent wrestling show that will display matches from both of my successful promotions. These are four or five matches that will be taped during OG-Joshi Amplitude and UBL Circuit show that will not air on those shows. Instead they will be placed together on Orochi-O's TV and aired on weeks that there are no other shows. The first two editions of Orochi-O's TV has already been produced and you will see them shortly. Now, I would like to give the floor to Mr. Yoshida."

[Drake:] "Thank you Emperor, my will is to proudly serve you."

*Celes rolls her eyes and looks a tinge ill*

[Drake:] "The UBL was discontent with JUST having matches on Orochi-O's TV. Rather, we wanted to create an entirely new generation of fresh talent and have them gain experience by facing each other and more experienced wrestlers. So it gives me great pleasure to announce the UBL Front Lines - a new division of the Reserve Roster that will compete primarily on Orochi-O's TV and, when they have earned the opportunity, Circuit Shows. We will feature new up and coming wrestlers like Matt Rivers, Thomas Mills, and Jasper Woodruff. And through my connections around the world, we have secured contracts from other promotions like Kirin Dojo and a large group of talented wrestlers from ZIP Japan. The strength and abilities of the Front Lines roster members will grow in front of your very eyes and 'motivate' established talent who see rising stars gunning for their spots. The new generation of UBL greatness has come to us and they are ready to attempt to follow in the footsteps of visionaries like Orochi Geese."

[Celes:] "While OG-Joshi has at least a dozen new promising wrestlers, we differ in approach from UBL by not creating a new division. Unlike UBL, OG-Joshi did not have the poor taste to label a group of new wrestlers after those brave soldiers in war who are unfairly treated as expendable and sacrificed so men with political connections like Geese do not have to do the dirty work. Difference of approach, I guess."

[Drake:] "Blasphemy! You will apologize to the Emperor!

[Celes:] "I will apologize to no one but the fans for this announcement taking longer then needed. Now that we have announced Orochi-O's TV and its implications on our rosters, it is time to get back to this show."

[Drake:] "Mr. Geese, she-"

[Geese:] "She is right that we need to return to Renaissance. Enjoy the show, everyone."

*Geese looks at Celes with a grim glance and then leaves, with Drake following behind him, giving Celes the evil eye. She stays in the ring for a few seconds to look at the new banner and then goes backstage.*


(We'll return in ONE WEEK for Part 2 of this 75kb, "ow my wrist/eyes hurt" PPV)

[OrochiGeese]

Renaissance Part 2



[Mr. Clyde:] "That was a very big announcement from Geese, Drake, and Celes that should really benefit all of the wrestlers. Celes has told me that she intends the OG-Joshi half of Orochi-O's TV to go to wrestlers that don't make it on the other shows for whatever reason, whether they are veterans or rookies. I think this definitely will help many of the new prospects show their potential as well."

[Mr. Figaro:] "She really laid in to Drake, I love watching her do that."

[Mr. Clyde:] "He's a tool in the most literal sense of the word."

[Mr. Figaro:] "But as much as we'd love to continue to dress him down, we have more matches to get to and first up is the long awaited OG-Joshi Tag Championship encounter between the challenging Dod Squod and the champions, J*NiGHT: Jenny McLanahan and Kaori NiGHT."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Think these Dods will attack me too?"

[Mr. Figaro:] "I think Polly Dod is probably the third strongest on this roster after Nicole and Juli but she and Jane aren't foolish enough to do anything to us."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Especially after what you did to Jack and Caleb."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Damn straight!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "That being said, Jane and Polly are an extremely dangerous tag team. Polly is a former PW-W Women's Champion and Jane is a former EFW Women's Champion. Kaori and Jenny are equally decorated, however. Jenny is a former C-CWA Women's Champion and the current LAWL OMG Champion. And Kaori is a former C-CWA Champion, having wrested the title from Jenny as a matter of a fact, as well as a former M-DWF and OJW Champion. So there is a LOT of championship gold among the careers of these four women. We're looking at four of the most influential women in the business and ones that show no signs of slowing down. Both Jenny and Jane's championship wins were recent, Polly is as dangerous as ever, and Kaori is a perennial contender for the NDP Light Heavyweight Championship. This is a real test of the best."

[Mr. Figaro:] "But only one team can leave this ring as OG-Joshi Tag Champions!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Interestingly enough, the Dods have 'behaved' for the most part since joining OG-Joshi. Yes they attacked Lana and Juli Tanaka but against Jenny and Kaori, they have not been too aggressive in their out of ring attacks. Are they biding their time or have they changed their ways?"

[Mr. Figaro:] "You can't trust a Dod to play within the rules, that's crystal clear. But you can trust them to be smart and find ways to work around the rules, or at the very least, gauge their opponent's abilities. Polly Dod faced Jenny very briefly in PW-W and not in a 1 on 1 match so really, these two teams do not have much experience with each other. My guess is that the Dods are trying to figure out exactly what to do against J*NiGHT without yet needing to break any rules. They are smart and would rather not create an enemy in General Celes and the officials if they don't have to."

[Mr. Clyde:] "My guess is that they are also trying to keep their opponent's emotions down by not riling them up. Both Kaori and Jenny rely very much on emotion and if the Dods bring that out in them, they could have trouble taking them down. I think they are going to wrestle this straight up but against a team with the abilities of J*NiGHT, that could be a mistake too."

[Mr. Figaro:] "The Dods are like snakes, they strike when you least expect it and go right for the jugular. They may have behaved for now, but it can't be too much longer before they bare their true fangs. So let's get to the match and see what happens."

[Mr. Clyde:] "That was right up there with the old J*NiGHT vs. HAWT*Wing series of incredible tag matches, THIS is why the Tag division was created."

[Mr. Figaro:] "I gotta say - the Dods played this pretty legit but I'm telling you, Clyde, there's more to this then meets the eye. The Dods are gonna want another shot at this."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Well they're gonna have to take it up with the new #1 Contenders, the Reed Sisters."

Jenny McLanahan/Kaori NiGHT (O) [Shining Wizard - 27:39] (X) Polly Dod/Jane Dod


[Mr. Clyde:] "And I'm receiving word that we're going backstage yet again."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Can we stop by the concessions stand, I'm kinda hungry-"

[Mr. Clyde:] "...no."

*We go backstage, the camera moving down a corridor, pausing and turning
to a door, a sign marking it as Tigress Mask's dressing room. Suddenly
the door opens, and out steps Kat Black, shutting the door behind her
before the camera can get a look inside.*

*Kat just glares at the camera for a moment, before composing herself*

[Kat:] "Tonight a few of us have a chance to earn a title match... no
matter who the champion will be. I could talk about how I'll be up
against a former champion in Haley Cannon. I could talk about the recent
past with Kim Cross, Lori Cuozzo and Crimson Mask. I could have talked
about past involvement with Alicia Gordon or ... Azumi Oonishi. I could
even talk about new opponents like Lana or Jenna Stone."

[Kat:] "But in the end only one thing matters, and all of them know it.
Friend or foe, only one can stand tall in the end. Only one can win and
become the number one contender."

[Kat:] "It will be me."

*We go back to the announcers to find Mr. Clyde nodding his head and Mr. Figaro grinning.*

[Mr. Clyde:] "This is the most motivated I've ever seen her."

[Mr. Figaro:] "You mean 'OUT' of the bedroom."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Please, try to be on good behavior."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Oh come on, Clyde! It's Kat...and you!! It just SCREAMS misbehave!!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "And I don't expect good behaviour out of the wrestlers in our next match either. As we now have two of the most destructive women on our roster: Nicole Dramesi and Juli Krieger."

[Mr. Figaro:] "I'm gonna let you handle this or else I'll get too angry."

[Mr. Clyde:] "You were joking just a minute ago."

[Mr. Figaro:] "It's that time of the year, Clyde...I get mood swings."

[Mr. Clyde:] "...'that' time of the year? Don't you mean 'month'? and more importantly, aren't you a male?"

[Mr. Figaro:] "Yeah, but it's BACK TO SCHOOL time and that gets me edgy. So you should have let me make jokes about Kat and you so that I won't be as angry looking at Nicole and Juli. It all adds up, Clyde."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Well, out of respect for Diane Cavuto and what happened to her, we are not going to go into a comprehensive history of why this match is happening other then to say Nicole wants to destroy OG-Joshi but she wants to do it cause of what Juli and Holly did to Dizzy. So while everyone here is fair game to Nicole, as we saw with Azumi, I would imagine Juli is on a short list of especially attractive targets."

[Mr. Figaro:] "You have to set me up with that comment when you know I was gonna be silent!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Celes told me to feed you set-ups to jokes to keep you calm tonight and after what we saw earlier, that's probably a smart idea. It won't due for you to run into the ring and attack both of them."

[Mr. Figaro:] "I wouldn't attack them unless someone was in direct danger."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Well one of them may put the other in direct danger in this match. Juli has been responsible for many injures in OG-Joshi over the last few years and Nicole has already just about matched that number over a few months. But whereas Juli has only fought OG-Joshi and LAWL roster members...and Jakob Furis...Nicole Dramesi has faced men like Twinky McLanahan, beaten men like Twinky McLanahan. if Juli Krieger could get in over her head, this would be the exact situation she would find herself in. Nicole is a legend because she was the first female wrestler in many promotions to not only beat men, but knock them out and dominate them. Juli has a tall order ahead of her but I am sure that Holly instructed her to do whatever it takes to get Nicole out of OG-Joshi via some kind of injury. And I am sure that is exactly what Nicole plans to do to Juli, and Holly, and countless other OG-Joshi wrestlers."

[Mr. Figaro:] "I notice some Genji Security surrounding the ring area so that when this match ends, the action ends. Genji has been proven rather ineffective over the last year when it counts, but the more bodies in between Juli and Nicole, the less chance one of them cripple the other."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Let's get to what won't be a match as much as a clash of the titans."

[Mr. Clyde:] "For all those wondering if Nicole was really that dominant, yes, yes she was."

[Mr. Figaro:] "But she's also that twisted - as she doesn't appear to be attacking Juli any more now that the match is over but just smiling and leaving the ring without Genji escortment."

Nicole Dramesi (O) [Tombstone Piledriver - 17:20] (X) Juli Krieger

[Mr. Clyde:] "Agent 0 seems to be having some words with her."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Yeah didn't you tell me that Nicole captured one of his men or something?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Nicole doesn't seem to want to continue the conversation and walks away. That is probably the most fortunate 'snub' Agent 0 has ever been the victim of."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Well folks we are spared yet another confrontation here but you have to figure that they are following her now to make sure she leaves the arena before Holly comes out."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Celes gave Nicole that match as part of a promise for Nicole not to attack Holly before the main event tonight but can we really trust her word? I'm sure Genji Security are going to be monitoring her closely until, during, and after the main event, thanks to Geese. Meanwhile, we're going backstage AGAIN just in time to catch a certain member of the roster, who was in the audience tonight, leaving."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Is that- Alicia Gordon?"

*Alicia is walking through the hall with a rollaway suitcase when General Celes catches up.*

[Celes:] "It took months for me to reach you and now that you're finally here, you're leaving?"

[Alicia:] "I'm going to check on Azumi, just like I should have gone to Dizzy."

[Celes:] "Don't conflate the two situations, Azumi is safe now. You won't be doing any good to be by her bedside when she's under medicine to allow her to sleep. If you want to honor anyone, do it by competing honorably in the Battle Royale. Your spot is still there."

[Alicia:] "You're just saying that cause you don't want to have to fill another spot."

*Celes looks incredulous and actually laughs.*

[Celes:] "You honestly think it would be so hard for me to find a willing competitor to wrestle on a PPV in a #1 Contender Battle Royale for a World Title shot? I realize you are well in your own world now but do you seriously think the majority of this roster isn't competing for that Gold belt around Holly's waist but rather the chance to kick the blonde head off her shoulders? Is this not a professional wrestling promotion?"

[Alicia:] "It is. And as I said...I'm leaving."

*Alicia turns around and begins walking again.*

[Celes:] "You came to OG-Joshi to be the best, now is your chance to prove it. Being the best means triumphing over adversity. I mean no disrespect to LAWL but you were treated with kid gloves in your early career. You only got better when you faced challenges in OG-Joshi. Whether they be from Kaori NiGHT or Holly and Juli Krieger. Now is a different kind of challenge - one of personal identity, how you want to live your life. Do you run away from a problem? Or do you seek to do whatever it takes to correct it."

*Alicia stops to listen, still not turning.*

[Celes:] "You can leave OG-Joshi if that's what you want. I won't stop you.You can turn your back on a promotion desperately trying to turn in the right direction, or you can stay and be a prime mover in that very destination. You are one of the best on this roster when you want to be, and with your help, and the help of women like Visper Karr, Kat Black, Jenna Stone, and so many others, we can truly have a golden age in OG-Joshi. But if you all leave one by one, and you leave this place for the wolves - then you have no one to blame but yourselves. Unfortunately I don't have the same choice as you due to Geese being mere steps away from firing me. But you do have the choice, Miss Gordon. And as someone who appears to be unable to live with guilt, I would hardly pass up this opportunity to attempt to make things right here. I hope to see you in the ring tonight and in the future. If not, have a quiet, easy, and unremarkable life."

*Celes walks back away as Alicia remains standing in place. We go back to the commentators.*

[Mr. Clyde:] "That's the kind of speech that rallies troops to win a war."

[Mr. Figaro:] "The Generals words only get better as the years progress."

[Mr. Clyde:] "I hope that everyone on the roster, not just Alicia, heard those words. Everyone in the Battle Royale has a chance to shift us in the right direction. Whether or not they have to face Holly to do it, every contribution matters. If Visper does become champion tonight, a proper step has been made but we'll still need positive actions on every level to get us to the golden age Celes sees for OG-Joshi. Many of those in the match already have done that - Lana, Haley. Kat, and Kim."

[Mr. Figaro:] "But what of Lori and Crimson Mask? Two women who have gone out of their way to cause pain and suffering. Will a shot at the OG-Joshi World Title be enough to get them to focus on competition or will it just be a chance for them to play spoiler to someone else's dreams and laugh while doing so?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "We're about to find out. As you all will remember, this match came about when multiple groups started to form rivalries. And we are seeing a reflection of that in the way the wrestlers are coming out. Despite this being a match where every woman is for themselves, it is apparent that there are many friendships and relationships of mutual respect apparent."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Look it's Kat and Kim! Hi gals!"

*Kat and Kim wave at them, Kim doesn't even look embarrassed.*

[Mr. Clyde:] "I think your actions earlier with Azumi impressed her a bit."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Well it was for Azumi but Kim's smile is a reward as well!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "While Kat gave us a favorable welcome, the fact remains that she is more intensely focused then I have ever seen her. Celes and I agreed that she has the chance to raise her game tonight with such a big reward on the line and based on Kat's words earlier, I think this will be her night to shine."

[Mr. Figaro:] "...pushing the ninja beds together, huh"?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "And here come Lana and former OG-Joshi World Champion Haley Cannon. Multi-woman matches have not been Haley's forte based on her primarily ground-based submission style, but I could see Lana faring very well due to her street fighting background."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Street fighting like Crimson Visper Karr?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "And here is Crimson Mask and Lori Cuozzo. The two of them seem a bit out of their element now as I would imagine just about everyone in the match is not exactly an ally of them. They are used to getting the jump on people but when it's 2 against 6, suddenly they appear a bit more reserved."

[Mr. Figaro:] "It may just be 2 on 5, Clyde. And here's the 7th competitor, Jenna Stone."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Jenna looks both star struck and exhausted. You could see the enthusiasm in her eyes at this opportunity, the same one she had to wrestle a grueling and competitive 18 minutes for earlier this very night. This is a bittersweet occasion for Jenna for so many reasons. Taking the spot cause of Azumi's injury and being in this great position only to have had a war of her own just a little while ago."

[Mr. Figaro:] "And I think we're about settled in-"

[Mr. Clyde:] "No, wait! It's her, it's Alicia Gordon! She's coming to the ring! The fans are going absolutely nuts here! No one expected to see her. She appears a bit out of sorts, not fully have committed to wrestle this match and who knows what kind of preparation she has done over the last months, but you have to give her so much credit for even being here and walking to that ring."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Truthfully, I'll give her credit when she wrestles a sound match. I'm not entirely sure her head is in the right place. But if she wrestles the right way, I'll bend over backwards to support her."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Kat appears to be encouraging her to get her head in that right place, showing once again why Kat is becoming a leader around here. But I can assure you, once the match starts, worrying about Alicia's situation will be the last thing on everyone's mind. Worrying about her kicks, however, is a priority. Let's get to the match and find out who will be the #1 Contender to the OG-Joshi World Championship!"


Match #7- #1 Contender Battle Royale

Kat Black, Kim Cross, Lana, Haley Cannon, Lori Cuozzo, Crimson Mask, Jenna Stone, Alicia Gordon

[Mr. Figaro:] "Wow, Clyde, you gotta be ecstatic! Of all people!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "You're right, I am ecstatic. And that isn't because of any imaginary relationship but because out of everyone in the ring, Kat embodies most what Celes has been speaking about. Kat came to OG-Joshi and kept her head down but her actions clean. She came here to wrestle and has made a lot of friends along the way due to her good, if not quiet, nature. And here she survived 6 other women before putting the final touch on a big rival, Lori Cuozzo. She has earned that #1 Contendership."

Kat Black (O) [Blackout - 27:25] (X) Lori Cuozzo


[Mr. Figaro:] "The Cooze is sure a 'big' rival, but you are right, Clyde. Kat wanted this and worked harder to get to this point from where she started then perhaps anyone else. She was accused of being Crimson's ally and had to escape that. And after having to deal with Lori and Crimson, here she is winning the biggest match in her OG-Joshi career. And Clyde, I'd love to see what she could do against Visper Karr."

[Mr. Clyde:] "So would General Celes and I. I'm sure Visper would welcome the challenge."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Oh wait, I guess Holly should probably be talked about here too."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Let's get to the next match."

"Celes comes out to ringside and holds Kat's arm up high while pointing at her and mouthing 'this is the future.' She shakes her hand and even gives her a brief hug.

[Mr. Figaro:] "Wow you don't see Celes getting emotional all that often."

[Mr. Clyde:] "This is exactly the kind of vision Celes had for Renaissance. After all that has happened in the last few months, a victory like this is HUGE. It's not just cause Celes respects Kat but because of what this victory signifies - the woman who came here to wrestle and not hurt people won this match."

*Celes gets a microphone*

[Celes:] "Please show your appreciation and praise for the new #1 Contender for the OG-Joshi World Championship, Kat Black.. Miss Black, I will make sure you get your Title shot at the next PPV. And I want to send my appreciation to everyone in that Battle Royale - especially Jenna Stone for having the energy to compete and Alicia Gordon for having the will to do so. Even Cuozzo and Crimson appeared to work hard for the right reasons. So there were no losers in that match because you all aimed to be the best."

*Celes shakes hands again with Kat and they both go backstage.


[Mr. Clyde:] "And now we come to the main event, a match anticipated ever since the previous PPV last year when Visper Karr beat Haley Cannon in the final encounger of an exciting best of 7 match series to become the #1 Contender to the OG-Joshi World Champion."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Visper has been waiting...and waiting...for this match ever since then. But she has been patient and hasn't really, well, talked that much about her huge opportunity here. Perhaps nerves?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Focus. While there has indeed been much conversation over the lack of conversation Visper has had with Holly, I believe Visper is just avoiding any of Holly's usual distractions."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Especially with the stakes in this match being as high as they are."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And with her experience being what it is. After all, Visper Karr is one of the few women on the roster who not only have a past victory over Holly, but a TITLE victory. It was Visper Karr who first won McPro's Globally Honored Pants from Holly, before Holly won them back."

[Mr. Figaro:] "And Visper has improved so much from that time as well. Since being the GHP Champion, she has beaten many on the OG-Joshi roster, including talents like Haley Cannon, Jo Ryder, and Azumi Oonishi."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Whether Holly wants to claim Visper's silence on fear, intimidation, or anything else, I believe we are going to see Visper more focused then ever before. The only question for me is whether or not she can STAY focused, as that has been the pitfall of every opponent of Holly's since she won that belt."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Haley Cannon and Jenny McLanahan both lost focus when their arsenal of submission moves could not put away Holly in their respective matches. Alicia Gordon lost focus at the OG-FPD 4 Year Anniversary when...well, I don't think I can blame her but, we all remember what happened to Dizzy. And it happened in front of Alicia's eyes. Alicia left the ring and the match was ended."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Beating up Holly is nothing new. BEATING Holly has been a feat outside of anyone's grasp for two years now. Say what you want of her intentions, her morals, her personality, or even her wrestling ability, but she does not come up short when it comes to her tenacity. That is the story of her life, she never gives up. She always claws for that victory. She always has that reserve in her to get her to the finish line. That is how a woman who was just a few years into breaking into the business defeated the legendary Jo Ryder on multiple occasions. Holly would not let any other outcome happen due to the sheer overwhelming force of her will. In some ways, she is even mentally stronger then Orochi Geese."

[Mr. Figaro:] "But you mention her wrestling ability and Clyde, as much progress as she has shown, she still isn't on Visper's level. Visper trained with Twinky McLanahan and Jo Ryder. Visper has defeated Haley Cannon, becoming only the second wrestler on the roster to do so in a straight up singles match. Visper has defeated Jo Ryder as well. And the woman is on a huge surge of momentum in her career, one that has been sustained for a few years now. She has devestating match ending kicks, a huge arsenal of pinning combinations, a fierce array of suplexes, and surprises in every match."

[Mr. Clyde:] "She also has a hatred for Holly, one in which may prove to be either her greatest weapon here if she channels it, or a huge pitfall if she lets it consume her. Granted Holly never did anything to Visper like she did to an Alicia or a Dizzy or a Jo Ryder, but Holly has chastized and mocked Visper for years now: in McPro, NDP, and OG-Joshi. She loves pointing out that Visper hasn't won a World TItle or hasn't achieved her level of success. If Holly gets to Visper here, then Visper will have to figure out how to respond. Visper's need for adaptability is a necessity because the fact is, Holly gets to EVERYONE. "

[Mr. Figaro:] "Got that right."

[Mr. Clyde:] "General Celes believes Visper Karr will win this match. That is why she has kept Nicole Dramesi from destroying Holly. Cause she wants Visper to win this match cleanly and be our new Champion to bring in a new era. One of integrity in and outside the ring. But Holly has no plans to cede her throne and will do everything in her power to win this match, and probably will even try to humiliate Visper and annoy the audience in the process. Folks, it is time to see what Visper Karr is made of."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Dibs on the panties!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "...let's get to the entrances."

[Mr. Figaro:] "That wasn't a no."

[Mr. Clyde:] "No more fun for you."

[Mr. Figaro:] "You got me IN the spirit before by saying "Getting Figgy with it". Now you have to say something to get me OUT of the spirit. It's only fair, Clyde! Maybe even sing-"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Jack Dod."

*Mr. Figaro punches through the desk*

[Mr. Figaro:] "Let's get to the f'n match."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And we have Visper Karr coming to the ring now. Wow, no entrance music or anything. She's just walking in her regular ring attire. No expression, no reaction to the fans. She's looking and walking straight ahead and looks to be in almost a trance like state."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Readiness."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And of course...you can hear the music starting up now and it's "Kick 'em when he's down". A ton of pyro goes off and I think I see some dancing bears with green tuxedos coming down the rampway. They are actually dancing to the music and here comes Holly in her own green tuxedo with a short skirt. Never saw that combination. But she also has a top hat and smiling from ear to ear. She's twirling a baton, which she then uses to "guide" one of the bears away from an audience member."

[Mr. Figaro:] "No one wants a lawsuit."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And Visper isn't even watching this, she's just stretching by the corner as the ref, Anji, speaks with her. We wanted as impartial a ref as we could find for this match. Celes obviously wouldn't be accepted here and Anji appears to not be capable of intimidation from anyone. So he's our man from the match and he immediately has Holly toss away her baton as she gets into the ring. She removes her tuxedo, to a huge reaction from the audience, to reveal her regular wrestling attire. And she then spits out a piece of gum right in the direction of Visper's face but..."

[Mr. Figaro:] "WOW! Visper just kicked it back in Holly's face!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "I didn't think Visper had reflexes like that. And apparently neither did a gum-faced Holly."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Holly, perhaps trying not to get psyched out by this, laughs it off and rubs it on her face in a...suggestive fashion, before throwing it out into the audience. And we are ready for this match."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Ladies and gentleman, the OG-Joshi World Championship is on the line."


Match #9: Visper Karr vs. Holly




[Mr. Clyde:] "Holly offers Visper a handshake with a huge grin on her face. Visper goes over and...actually shakes it. This manages to confuse Holly but she shrugs and this match starts."

[Mr. Figaro:] "The mind games in this match are going to consume both women."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Holly begins stretching...in an odd turn of the 20th century way."

[Mr. Figaro:] "She's doing Iriquois twists."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Visper immediately moves in for a collar and elbow tie up, but Holly weasles out of it and goes outside where she does some more stretching. Stretching of the R rated kind, especially with the ring post. She HAS had experience Pole Dancing at Jo Ryder's club."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Hope Visper didn't bring a broomstick..."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Visper runs outside to chase her but Holly gets back into the ring. Visper stops short of entering, expecting the old "cat and mouse" game that is often played in these situations where Visper would get immediately stomped. Instead, Visper gets up on the apron and kicks herself some breathing room to enter. Holly allows it and we're back to square one."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Visper is a student of the game, she won't fall for obvious traps."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Holly starts clapping for Visper and offers another handshake. Visper takes it, Holly goes to kick low but Visper manages to use her THIGHS to block the kick. Now that's leg strength."

[Mr. Figaro:] "I'm losing my seriousness, Clyde! And the integrity of my pants!"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Visper dives down sideways, dragging Holly in the equivalent of a leg assisted dragon screw, and lands into a top mount. The expression on Holly's face shows that she has no idea how she got in this position and the expression on Visper's shows she doesn't care. She immediately starts punching from mount and Holly is clueless as to what to do but she manages to get an eye rake in after a few punches. Holly breaks loose and checks her nose for bleeding but she's ok besides a few new bruises. Visper shakes off the eye poke and they meet in the middle of the ring again."

[Mr. Figaro:] "This is like a chess match between two women in a non-chess wrestling ring."

[Mr. Clyde:] "This time Visper is the initiator of contact, challenging Holly to a test of strength. Holly will have nothing of it, motioning that Visper's arms are so strong and then motioning that Visper may have male genitalia. Visper takes the opportunity of Holly's hands being low, as she was pantomiming herself as Visper 'massaging her genitalia', and kicks Holly right in the face. And THAT, fans, is where this match can officially start and get beyond the first phase of immaturity.

[Mr. Figaro:] "That kick was pretty damn loud too."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And it knocked Holly on her behind. Visper immediately hits a seated dropkick on the downed Holly and then goes into a side headlock. Holly grabs INSIDE Visper's tights, and the ref smacks her hand away. Holly then licks her fingers, causing Visper to break the hold our of sheer revulsion."

[Mr. Figaro:] "You said it earlier, Clyde. Holly will do ANYTHING to win a match and anything to psyche her opponent out to give up an advantage."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Holly laughs and goes to check her face for blood again, finding none. She sucks on her fingers some more, causing the crowd to groan. Visper readjusts her tights and then shoots in for a double legged take down. She gets it easily, given her superior amateur wrestling. But rather then punch Holly like she did before, she transitions her into a cross arm breaker. Holly appears shocked, not quite expecting this assault on her arm. But she is able to use her legs to get to the ropes. She wrings her arm out and gets up. Visper then goes right for her new target and transitions into a series of arm drags, whips, and kicks to the arm. Holly has no answer and it starting to get frustrated. Visper's emotions are back in check."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Visper came in with a game plan, Holly apparently didn't."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Or if she did, it was just a mental one. But she's having trouble stopping Visper's assault, though she did grab the ropes at an irish whip attempt, causing Visper to land on the floor from a dropkick. Holly goes in but Visper immediately kips up! She transitions into another double leg when Holly jumps?"

[Mr. Figaro:] "A brilliant move there, Clyde! Holly has just hit a makeshift Loser's Lunch by jumping and getting her thighs over and around Visper's head during her dodged double leg takedown attempt!! She didn't get the same power as she would usually with that finisher but it was certainly a surprise and has given her control over a groggy Visper."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Holly does not have amateur wrestling or extended submission experience but what she does have is an eye for opportunistic, if not unorthodox, situations. She is now the aggressor again, rubbing her elbow in Visper's face while laughing. She also begins making pelvic thrusts while mounted on top of Visper. Visper is more concerned with the elbow to worry about anything else, but Holly is getting loud."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Visper has to stay in control and deal with the physical component of the attack here."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And she does just that, getting enough leverage on Holly's arm to not only get it off her face but TWIST it into a kimura! Visper has a bottom guard Kimura right now and Holly is once again stunned.

[Mr. Figaro:] "Apparently Holly did not take the important initiative, like Dizzy did, after her series of matches with Haley Cannon to learn more about how to deal with submission wrestling. Had she done so, perhaps she would not be leaving herself so open to Visper's ground arsenal."

[Mr. Clyde:] "This time, rather then continue to tweak the kimura, Visper actually gets Holly to her feet and then transitions it into a suplex!! I've never seen that before but that has GOT to be pretty devestating for both Holly's arm and back."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Hey!! Kim Cross gets an automatic trademark on anything called a "Kimura Suplex".

[Mr. Clyde:] "She may get the trademark, but at this rate, Visper may get the World Title. She has started throwing Holly all around with her very impressive array of suplexes: gutwrenches, vertical ones, and she's about to go for a german suplex, a move she has won a few matches with. But Holly elbows backwards and kicks low at the SAME time, hoping to avoid any of Visper's counters like before. It works and Holly then immediately transitions the dazed Visper into a chin crusher. And Holly begins stomping on Visper's head on the mat before a look of recognition appears on her face and she starts stomping Visper's leg."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Take away Visper's leg and you take away her speed and the potential of her knockout-inducing kicks. Plus Holly can prepare for the H-Lock 69."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Holly hits a few knee breakers on the mat before picking her up and then hitting a knee breaker atomic drop. She shakes her wrist a bit from pain after that and goes back to outright stomping Visper's leg. And she has taken full control here with the leg offence, also managing to hit a few face breaker slams from behind. Holly picks Visper up, laughs at her, and then begins choking Visper right to the mat. Anji administers a 5 count here and Holly breaks at 4 1/2. She then whips Visper into the corner, taunts by crossing her arms by her crotch, and goes to hit a cartwheel elbow...but Visper sidesteps, whipslashing her own body into a frighteningly quick and powerful roundhouse kick!!

[Mr. Figaro:] "You could hear the crack through the arena, Holly's jaw may even be broken."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Visper hits another high kick to Holly's face. It looks like Holly's nose is bleeding now. As Holly staggers out, Visper runs off the turnbuckle, jumps, and hits an overhead soccer kick to the back of Holly's head. Visper goes for the pin, only gets a 2 count, but its clear Holly is staggered by this latest round of offense. Visper goes for a german suplex, gets a 2 count again, but holds it in place and rolls backwards into a cradle for a 2.5 count. Then Visper hits a trio of rolling germans for a 2.9 but Holly again kicks out."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Visper is certainly getting closer here but she HAS to stay focused. She can't let Holly's resistance do anything but MOTIVATE her to try harder."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And try she does, as she now hits a rolling trio of double arm suplexes, something we don't see too often. The final one is bridged for a pin but Holly manages to get her foot on the ropes before 3. When Visper goes for a double arm suplex again, Holly buckles under the weight but Visper drags her up and hits a big Tiger Bomb. Very close 2.9 there. Visper wants to give it another shot, drags Holly up and once again gets the double underhook. But Holly buckles and immediately hits a low blow. As Visper is bending down from the impact, Holly goes for what may be a desperation Loser's Lunch, but Visper jumps up with it getting into a vertical position! This was a great counter but she didn't see Holly stick her knee in between Visper's legs for a HUGE jumping manhattan drop! Another very unorthodox counter."

[Mr. Figaro:] "And a bit north of Manhattan, maybe a Westchester Drop?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Well we ARE there now, after all."

[Mr. Figaro:] "True."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Holly takes the initiative again after that counter to a counter and runs the ropes, hitting a huge kick of her own to Visper's face. Visper gets sent right down and Holly continues her running momentum to bounce off the ropes and then hip drops right onto Visper's face. This only gets a 2 count but Holly then rubs her crotch in Visper's face a bit til Visper grabs the ropes. Holly grabs Visper's legs and yanks them off the ropes, causing Visper to land hard on her head. Holly climbs up the ropes and waits...as Visper finally gets up dazed, Holly jumps off for a "HOLLY loves WOOD" diving frankensteiner! It only gets a 2.5 but Holly is just getting started. She begins kicking Visper in the head with front kicks, runs the ropes, and then hits a Lou Thesz press for another 2.5. She sits Visper up and runs the ropes AGAIN...."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Perhaps going for the "Pissed off K." as her brother Kyle calls it."

[Mr. Clyde:] "The PK gets a 2.9 and a shout of approval from the crowd. But Visper just isn't accepting defeat. Holly decides to go back to the leg offense and sits Visper up on the top rope for an avalanche dragon screw. But Visper hooks her hands in the ropes and Holly won't budge. Visper then swivels her body and hits something resembling a Tornado Loser's Lunch on Holly! But only a 2.9! Very quick thinking by Visper and if Holly wasn't dazed from that, she'd be very upset that her move was stolen..."

[Mr. Figaro:] "That's what match replays are for, Clyde. For Holly to get pissed off later on."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Visper gets her wind back and sits Holly up, she runs the ropes and...RUNNING FACE KICK! Visper's finisher!! She covers Holly but no, Holly manages to somehow dig down and kick out of that at the last millisecond! Visper looks stunned here but she does so while picking Holly up and attempting her next move. And that would be the "Go 2 Sleep" that beat Haley Cannon, but Holly has it scouted and grabs her OWN Loser's Lunch from that very position! Brilliant counter and both women are down."

[Mr. Figaro:] "The counters in this match have been off the charts."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Holly goes for the pin but Visper has had enough time to recover. But after that running face kick, she realizes it is absolutely urgent to finish off the work on Visper's leg. She doesn't even attempt any more stomps but rather goes right into the H-Lock 69 after dragging Visper to the middle of the ring. Visper is fighting it as best she can but it's clear the damage is being done here. It's rare for any wrestler to make it this long in a match with Holly and be able to fight this move off."

[Mr. Figaro:] "We're like almost 18 minutes into this match, Clyde. And Visper's entire fatigue and pain is being sent shooting into her legs and lower back right now."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Visper is pounding her fists on the mat, being careful to not use open hands, so as not to signify tapping out. She tries to reverse the hold, but Holly is too stable in seated position. As the ref checks Visper, Holly backs up a bit and grabs the ropes for both counter defense and leverage. Of course this sends an extra jolt of pain to Visper, and the ref checks where it's coming from. He gets Holly to release the ropes and Visper uses the distraction to kick upwards into Holly's face, breaking the hold. The damage has been done though and Visper can't even get to a vertical base. Holly comes up from behind and clips Visper's knee, sending a shriek of pain out as a result. Holly goes right back to the H-Lock 69, and Visper looks like she may have to tap out to avoid permanent injury."

[Mr. Figaro:] "She still has fight left in her, Clyde."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And she channels it into her arms which she uses like a wheelbarrow to get to the ropes. Holly resists but seeing Visper face down and elevated from the mat, she grabs Visper and launches her backwards with the "Star Crossed Lovers" German Suplex!"

[Mr. Figaro:] "Again, Holly is showing how incredibly saavy she is."

[Mr. Clyde:] "But it only gets a 2.9. She irish whips Visper to the corner. Then props her up on the top and appears to be going for an avalanche "Holly LOVES Wood" but Visper again holds onto the ropes and stops Holly's attempt! Visper kicks Holly in the back of the head and grabs her arms...AVALANCHE Tiger Bomb!!!!

1...2....2.9!

[Mr. Figaro:] "If that was done to anyone else, I'd be speechless that it was kicked out of."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Visper collapsed on the mat after the pin was broken up. The ref administers a standing 10 count, both women get to the corner at the 9 count. Visper is the first to attempt to initiate contact but Holly throws her leg up to Visper's midsection, a move that appeared to take considerable effort after that avalanche Tiger Bomb, and then goes right into the Loser's Lunch!! Holly falls onto Visper for the cover, who is face down. The ref doesn't count til Holly rolls her over and then...only a 2.9. Holly yells at the ref who just responds: "Not my problem." Holly growls and uses that anger to pull Visper up again. Another kick to the midsection, and she positions Visper into the Loser's Lunch again...but pauses for a second, setting her legs better hoping to get a bigger lift and jump on it this time to end the match. But it is Visper who gets just that FIRST and begins lifting Holly into a back body drop. Rather then finish the move, she grabs onto Holly's legs, and falls backwards into the turnbuckles. Holly is in the Tree of Woe! Visper backs up slowly and then runs forward, slide dropkicking into Holly's face, snapping her neck back against the post!"

[Mr. Figaro:] "That is a potential career-ending move, at this stage of the match."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Visper elects not to pin and instead drags Holly to the middle of the ring, then puts Holly into what appears to be a Crossface! Holly is still dazed and in pain from the sliding kick to the head but has enough wherewithall to roll to her side to attempt a sudden pinfall."

[Mr. Figaro:] "It could be a spasm from that kick before."

[Mr. Clyde:] "In either case, Visper rolls out before a 3 count. Holly gets to her feet, while still in the crossface, and lifts Visper, crotching her on the ropes...but Visper does NOT give up the hold. She shakes the pain off her face and uses the ropes for some spring to jump up high and hit a catapulting crossface-attached bulldog on Holly!! The hold is STILL not broken as they land on the floor, and Visper now turns it onto a more advanced and painful version of the crossface...in fact...this kind of looks like-"

[Mr. Figaro:] "The Ryder Crossface?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "Yes! Just like Visper's former mentor, Jo Ryder's version. Perhaps with some more torque, and certainly assisted by that crossface-bulldog. Holly is fighting like crazy to get out of it, but her body is still racked by pain and shock from the bulldog. Kicking her feet is just tiring her out and when she tries to roll, Visper just rolls with her again and pulls back adding more torque to the move. Holly's body goes limp.

The ref picks her arm up once.

...

Twice.

...

...

And that's it.

[Mr. Clyde:] "The ref has called for the bell!"

[Mr. Figaro:] "This match is over. Holly has passed out from the Karr Crossface. Or...Karrossface!"

Visper Karr (O) [Karrossface - 24:59] (X) Holly


[Mr. Clyde:] "And our new OG-Joshi World Champion, Visper Karr!"

[Mr. Figaro:] "Clyde, she did it! She beat Holly! Someone beat Holly clean in the middle of the ring! And it was the woman who was mocked for years by her! And what an effort she just put on. Counter after counter, shaking off the pain, not giving up. And not giving IN to Holly's mind games and taunting."

[Mr. Clyde:] "I'm proud to call Visper Karr out new Champion."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Perhaps those guys entering the ring aren't."

[Mr. Clyde:] "Right as the referee awarded Visper the belt, and before she even had a chance to hold it high, Genji Security swarmed the ring. But it appears this is just protection for the fallen Holly, rather then any attack on Visper. Still, it's poor taste not to allow Visper a second of celebration...although she appears to be doing it now anyway even with hostile guards around her."

[Mr. Figaro:] "And General Celes is coming to the ring. She splits the Genji Security line."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And by split, we mean knockout two of their men. She then escorts Visper safely out of the ring while holding her hand high. She gives Visper a hug and purple and black streamers have begun to fall from the arena ceiling. A somber and concerned Orochi Geese and Kyle Walker get into the ring to check on the still unconscious Holly. But Geese makes it a point to stare at Celes and Visper on their way out, before turning his attention back to his girlfriend and our FORMER Champion."

[Mr. Figaro:] "The crowd was going absolutely nuts at Visper's victory but with Geese now in the ring, surrounded by Genji Security, they appear to be making a quick exit. I think...is that?"

[Mr. Clyde:] "It looks like Alicia Gordon just came in by the ring entrance. She's taking a long look at the still knocked out Holly, in the ring. I see a hint of a smile, one we haven't seen from her in a long time. Not sure if under these circumstances I can fully blame her but still."

[Mr. Figaro:] "Maybe she should use Holly's theme song for now on."

[Mr. Clyde:] "In any case, she's leaving now after getting a quick look at her vanquished foe, who just lost the World Championship, her most prized possession and honor. Not that she doesn't still have her legacy of dominance. But she can't call herself the Goddess of Joshi Wrestling as she was going to after this match. Visper is the new OG-Joshi Champion and, with it, the spoils of being recognized as the top name here."

[Mr. Figaro:] "And with that, General Celes' Renaissance has come to pass."

[Mr. Clyde:] "And with that, I think our show has come to a close. Fans, thank you for joining us tonight and for the years leading up to this event. OG-Joshi action will come to you next via Orochi-O's TV in the coming weeks. And then Amplitude and Voltage will follow shortly. See you then."

[Mr. Figaro:] "One final rhyme of the night!

Our show tonight is now about to end,
The morale of OG-Joshi will finally mend.
Tag champions stay, the World champ go,
Now Holly can compete at the next LAWL show.

Our new #1 goes by the name of Visper Karr.
You can see she's a hottie near or from a far.
OG-Joshi has just worked its way out of the fog,
and now it's time for the Renaissance Epilogue."
