*We fade in to "Coach" Jean Carter proudly standing in front of an OG-Joshi banner and enthusiastically gesturing toward it.*
[Jean:] "Hi everyone!! We're back...again!! Somehow OG-Joshi has come back a second time without even really going away. And it still hasn't fully sunk in that OG-Joshi is officially back to business this year but I realize that it can't be sustained by that warm and fuzzly feeling alone. As I heard Gutter say once, 'it's time to put up or shut up.' Only, I kind of prefer when people don't say 'shut up' but instead say 'please pass the talking stick so that I can get a turn.'"
*Jean reaches off camera and is handed a talking stick with ornate cat carvings.*
[Jean:] "Thanks, Luke! Now that the 'unpleasantness' of Continuum III has been gently folded, placed in a box, and sunk to the bottom of the ocean...it's time for me to do what I've been waiting to do ever since I was told that I could do it!"
*Jean seemingly trips over her own words and gets confused before a-ha'ing her way back to us.*
[Jean:] "Let's enjoy the announcement of our first official OG-Joshi tour!!"
*Gold and red balloons fall behind her that have the letters "ASFS".*
[Jean:] "Astute and even novice balloon-readers can see that the initials for our first tour are A-S-F-S. There are two reasons we are using those initials. One reasons is that the letters stand for words."
*Jean says the last part really seriously as if she's dropping arcane knowledge.*
[Luke:] "Uh...I think that's what initials usually do."
[Jean:] "Wow! Isn't language like magic!?"
[Luke:] "Magical words are magic."
[Jean:] "Abracadabra!"
*More red and gold balloons fall with pictures of rabbits coming out of hats.*
[Jean:] "The second reason I chose those letters was because Robin Walker helpfully reminded me what would happen if I only used the three that I initially intended on using. See, I originally wanted to call this tour the "After School Special" Tour. Luckily, Robin's history with colorful colloquialisms came in handy here. Apparently, people will crack wise about the way those letters are placed together in an unsavory way."
[Luke:] "That sounds like a real pain in the-"
[Jean:] "Dictionary!! So our "A-S-F-S" initials stands for "After School Fun Special" Tour. Don't leave out the fun - or else the FCC may cause us to have to change the name."
[Luke:] "The fun is real, Jean. Nothing is better than coming home from school."
[Jean:] "Nothing is better than coming home from school and learning even more! That is why our Tour is going to start in the summer. That is when students face the biggest challenge of unlearning. In fact, I'm even going to be giving some educational and motivational tidbits to the youth of today during those events."
[Luke:] "Jean, you know what they say about school in summer time."
[Jean:] "That it's amazing, and summer reading lists are fundamental?"
[Luke:] "...sure!"
[Jean:] "Darn tootin! Now, our ASFS tour is going to consist of four events. The final one will have two very special matches. One match will feature the long awaited tag match of Robin Walker and Geese Walker facing Kathy Queen and William King. That's right, everyone's favorite Coach put on her tough negotiation face with UBL's Arthur Wingate and claimed that tag match for the verdant fields of OG-Joshi! In Arthur's words, "Thank you. I don't need any more headaches with those four than I already had." In business talk, that means "You won this round with gallantry!"
[Luke:] "Sounds like something Arthur would say."
[Jean:] "And the other special match on the fourth ASFS event will be the finale of a special Showcase Tournament. The quarter and semifinals matches will be held during the previous three events. In the nearest of futures, I will announce a special prize to be awarded to the winner of the tournament!"
*Jean takes a few seconds to breathe. Then she smiles even wider than she already did as a banner drops and lands right below the OG-Joshi logo. The banner says "EMERGE"*
[Jean:] "And now it gives me great pleasure to officially announce the creation of our new OG-Joshi training program! We are calling it EMERGE and it takes place in the OG-JoDojo!! The sensei who is training our new wrestlers is the legendary former OG-Joshi World Champion, Haley Cannon! And her assistant Sensei is former OG-Joshi Tag Champion, Azumi Oonishi. We have eight recruits signed up for the first EMERGE class and you can find them on our website.
They will be the ones competing in the special ASFS tournament which is a showcase for EMERGE. I am so excited for everyone to see the inspiring progress that our trainees have made over the past year! That's right OG-Joshi, our first tour pays respect to legends in the Joshi world like Robin Walker and Kathy Queen but also shines a light on the next generation of OG-Joshi stars. We will also have defenses by the OG-Joshi Tag Champions, the Hellions, on the first three events.
See you in June, everyone!! I can't wait!! OG-Joshi is back!!"
*Jean does a jumping freeze frame smiling pose as the scene fades.*
