Tokyo's skyline is shown in a few different shots, leading up to the Korakuen Hall which has a big sign with the LION'S ROAD PRO-WRESTLING logo adorned on it. Kenshin Takamura's face is plastered on one side while Robb Daniels' smug mug is on the other.
MANDEVILLE NELSON: Greetings from the Lion's Road! Welcome to Tokyo Roar! I am your esteemed host, Mandeville Nelson and we're excited to bring you two hours of the best action packed professional wrestling show you can witness! We are here live in Tokyo and we have three big title matches for you tonight - all singles bouts. Plus, we've got a grudge match between that slimy Eli Buchanan's Agents of Pain and Team SHIT - yes, that's right, SHIT - of Hammerstein and Anna Matthews! Plus Matt Pulver and Alexander Irvine will lead two trios opposite of each other into action! It's a loaded card, so let's jump right in!
Boom, ringside!
JAKE AARONS: This opening contest is set for one fall with a ten minute time limit! Introducing first from San Diego, California! He weighs in at two hundred and five pounds... EMPEROR IAN!
Ian paces back and forth in the ring as the lights in the arena dim and the audience turns their attention to the stage as the nostalgic melody of "Bad Guy" by Jordon Comoli begins to play.
JAKE AARONS: His opponent from Brooklyn, New York! He weighs in at two hundred and twenty pounds... MARK STORM!
Smoke begins pouring out of the lion and then emerging from the crowd is none other than Mark Storm! He stands tall within the lion's mouth and smiles as he looks out at the fans. He makes his way down the ramp to the ring before standing on the apron and letting out a roar! Some of his fans roar back with him before he slingshots himself over the top rope. He falls to his knees in the middle of the ring, looking up at the heavens as his theme music slowly begins to fade out.
JAKE AARONS: Your referee for this bout is Darnell Cane!
Referee Darnell Cane calls for the bell and Emperor Ian marches up to Mark Storm and shoves him, Storms looks back at him with a questioning eye and Ian does it again shouting "COME ON!" before shoving him a third time. Ian finally slaps Storm in the face and he may have awaken the dragon because Mark Storm nails him with a forearm, a slap, kick to the thigh, then a spinning back fist. Ian staggers backwards and Storm unleashes a devastating lariat on him to complete the Impending Storm! Ian gets up on all fours and Storm stands behind him until he's up on his knees, then rushes forward... leaps onto the second rope and springboards off into a cutter! STORM SEARCH! Ian looks to be out, but Mark Storm yanks him to his feet and throws him up on his shoulders... DYSTOPIA! The knee to the head connects and Ian is out cold.
CHAD GOMEZ: Stick a fork in 'em, he's done!
Storm backs off as Darnell Cane begins his ten count, but it's all academic from here. The bell sounds and Mark Storm gets his arm raised in victory. Declan Black slides into the ring and raises his partner's arm also, before stomping a couple of times on Ian before the duo leave.
BASTIAN KRULL: Mark Storm making an impressive statement! He said he was pissed off and he certainly showed it in there making quick work of Emperor Ian.

All six men are already inside the ring debating who will start out. AJ Knight is selected for his team to pair off with White Phoenix, the two circle about before locking up and Phoenix is immediately backed into the corner where Knight begins driving his shoulder into Phoenix's midsection! He pulls the masked wrestler out and whips him, but gets reversed and sent in himself. Knight gets his boot up, but Phoenix grabs it before he charges into it. Knight hops in place before nailing a leaping enzuigiri! Phoenix goes down and rolls out of the ring, Adam Adonis comes in and AJ Knight goes toe to toe with him. They grapple, Adonis pulls a side headlock and shoots him off the ropes... nailing him with a shoulderblock that sends Knight down to the mat. Knight gets back up as Adonis hits the ropes again and manages to kick him in the gut before he can attack. Knight drives an elbow into the back of Adonis' neck and snapmares him over, but Adonis rolls through and kicks Knight in the chest! Adonis pulls him to his feet and goes for a suplex, but Knight slips out... SWINGING NECKBREAKER! Adonis quickly rolls out of the ring and the fans come alive as Matt Pulver leaps into the ring and dropkicks AJ Knight!
BASTIAN KRULL: Listen to this crowd! They love Matt Wrestling!
CHAD GOMEZ: Everyone does and it's sickening!
Knight rolls back into his corner and reaches up for a tag, it's received by Alexander Irvine and the crowd excitedly oohs. Irvine gets in, calm as a bomb and smiles at Pulver. Brody Howitzer pats him on the back and tells Pulver that Irvine is going to swallow his soul! Irvine shakes his head and chuckles at that, but goes forward. Him and Pulver have a verbal exchange that ends with Pulver being kicked in the stomach. Irvine nails him with several elbows then a knee lift that backs him against the ropes, Irvine shoots him off the ropes and Pulver baseball slides underneath him on the return. He pops up and nails the Wolf with a barrage of forearms! He whips him into the ropes and nails him with a running single leg dropkick that puts him down on the mat! Irvine slaps the mat in frustration and leaps to his feet, they two lock-up and Pulver applies an arm wringer! He wrenches it on it and forces Irvine back into his corner where he tags in Adam Adonis!
BASTIAN KRULL: In a battle of unlikely trios, I think Adonis might be the most unlikely of the allies.
CHAD GOMEZ: Why? He'll work for anyone.
BASTIAN KRULL: Yes, but he's not 'working' for anyone but himself in this match!
Adonis comes in and accepts Irvine's arm, slapping on a Fujiwara armbar that takes him down to the mat! Brody Howitzer rushes in and breaks up the submission, drawing the attention of Matt Pulver and White Phoenix. Darnell Cane rushes to stop them from entering the match and losing full control of this thing, while Howitzer grabs Adonis and helps Irvine bring him back to their corner. All three men beat on Adonis in the corner, but the Last of the Kind is putting up a valiant effort despite this! He gets himself free and tags in Pulver! Pulver leaps into the ring, dropkicking AJ Knight! He gets up - single leg dropkick to Irvine! He turns to look for the third man, but Brody Howitzer pounds him into the mat with a bulldog! Howitzer cackles and tells him to hail to the king as he dives on top with a Lou Thesz press and rains down blows! He pulls him up and snap suplexes Pulver to the mat, gets up and tags in AJ Knight!
BASTIAN KRULL: Here comes a kid, who while very cocky has quickly got folks talking about him!
Knight comes in and tries to get a backslide pin on Pulver, but Matt Wrestling reverses it and backslides him!
1...
...
2...
KICK OUT!
Knight tries to grab Pulver, but he somersaults over and tags in White Phoenix who soars through the air with a springboard sunset flip. He gets it, but he is way too close to the corner of AJ Knight to be successful with it. Those two break it up and all hell breaks loose, Adonis gets in and dumps Knight to the floor and goes out after him. Irvine and Howitzer put the boots to Pulver and dump him out of the ring, Howitzer goes out after him as Phoenix is pulled to his feet by Irvine... he scoops him onto his shoulders... RUNNING POWERSLAM! Irvine gets up and pulls Phoenix up to his knees, then dashes across the ring... BATTLE CRY! The running forearm, or maybe fivearm smash connects and Phoenix is nearly launched out of his boots! Irvine covers!
1...
...
2-Pulver tries to get back in!
...
3-TOO LATE!
Irvine gets up in victory and stomps on Pulver, drawing his ire. Irvine tells Howitzer to let him go and Pulver slides in and gets right in Irvine's face! The two trade obviously kind words until ADAM ADONIS hits Pulver from behind! Irvine backs off into the corner, watching as Adonis pulls Pulver up and drops him with the cradle piledriver that is Too Low to Register! Adonis nods at Irvine and leaves while Irvine looks down at Pulver and smiles.
BASTIAN KRULL: What was all that about?
CHAD GOMEZ: Like I said, he'll work for anyone!
Phoenix gets up and checks on Pulver as the winning trio all hold their arms up in victory.

JAKE AARONS: This match is scheduled for one fall with a ten minute time limit! Introducing first being to the ring by LA CUCARACHA! At a combined weight of of three hundred and ninety two pounds... ANNA MATTHEWS! HAMMERSTEIN! TEAM SHIT!
"The Rockafeller Skank" by Fatboy Slim begins and almost strobelike, the graphic "STRAIGHT OUTTA WHYNOT" flashes across the POLLOVISION before slowly down. Smoke and fog begins pouring out of the nose of the lion as Hammerstein barrels out, crashing onto the stage. The fans laugh as Hammerstein gets up, dusts himself off and smiles. The lights go down and a crash is heard, they come back on and Anna Matthews emerges from a TARDIS and follows Hammerstein down to the ring. La Cucaracha comes charging out from the back, curiously wet - not particularly known for her showering. She throws her foam cockroaches and manages to hit several unsuspecting fans in the face with her wet merchandise.
JAKE AARONS: Their opponents being accompanied to the ring by ELI BUCHANAN! At a combined weight of four hundred, ninety pounds... THE AGENTS OF PAIN!
Megadeth's "Killing is My Business and Business is Good" hits as Agent D and B walk onto the stage with their manager, Eli Buchanan, walking out behind them. The pair turn and starts yelling at him but he yells right back at them and points towards the ring. D and B sprint down to the ringside and slide into the ring before mounting opposite corners and mocking the crowd, while their manager makes his way to ringside and steals a chair from one of the announcers to watch the match. The match begins with Anna Matthews starting out against the smaller of the two Agents, Agent B. This doesn't come without some arguing from Hammerstein, but Matthews glares at him and Hammerstein quickly changes his tune. Agent B backs Matthews into the ropes and slaps her! B turns to Agent D and laughs about it, but turns back around and eats a thrust to the throat! Agent B tries to fire back, but she shoves him back and heart kicks him! B spins around and eats a shot from Hammerstein before spinning down to the mat. Hammerstein climbs in the ring as Agent D gets in and clothesline Matthews to the mat, Hammerstein blocks a strike attempt from D and gives him the Dikembe Mutombo finger wag! Hammerstein clobbers him with a punch! Agent D turns back around and Matthews kips up and hurracanranas him down to the mat! D rolls out of the ring and Hammerstein kicks B out of the ring! Matthews gets to his feet as Hammerstein is all kinds of fired up! Eli Buchanan gathers his men and begins yelling at them before sending them back into the ring.
BASTIAN KRULL: Do you think he'll ever get these guys on the same page?
D, the larger of the two gets in the ring with Hammerstein and the two men lock-up. D goes a quick go behind and pulls a hammerlock, but Hammerstein reverses it into one of his own. D is quick to escape though by utilizing the most technical of escapes - a back elbow to the face! He grabs an arm wringer on the Hammer and kicks him in the gut before making a tag to Agent B who gets in and climbs onto the middle rope. D holds Hammer's arm out and B comes off with a double axe handle to the shoulder! Hammerstein falls to the mat as Anna slaps the turnbuckle to try and get some crowd support behind her boyfriend, but B hooks Hammer's arm behind his back and body slams him to the mat! He tags D back in and rolls out of the ring, reaching back in to grab Hammer's arm and stretches it out. Agent D comes in and begins stomping a mudhole on the arm!
CHAD GOMEZ: I'm loving this! Classic tag team work from the Agents of Pain, isolating the stronger member of the opposing team and taking his arm out of the equation!
Agent D pulls him up and applies an arm wringer. He backs Hammerstein into the ropes and shoots him out only to reel him back in and drop an elbow on the arm! Hammer goes down to the mat on all fours. D talks some more trash to Matthews, who swings at him - Agent D laughs in response as Eli Buchanan shouts from the outside, "THIS IS YOUR FAULT, ANNA! YOUR FAULT!" D leaps up and double stomps Hammerstein's arm after he collapses to the mat! Hammerstein cries out in pain and reaches out for Anna. D tags in B and goes between Anna and Hammerstein, taunting the goofy fan favourite... Hammerstein gets up to his feet and shoves Agent D backwards into the corner! Anna grabs the tag rope and begins choking D with it as B drags Hammerstein back into the middle of the ring! Hammerstein rolls onto his back and kicks Agent B off of him and quickly gets to his feet. He grabs B and calls out to Anna, who moves out of the way on the apron - Agent B is whipped across the ring into Agent D! B falls to the mat and D staggers forward... headbutting his partner in the groin!
CHAD GOMEZ: Disqualify them, ref!
BASTIAN KRULL: It was his own partner!
CHAD GOMEZ: So you're telling me that I can throw a man in the corner and then lawn dart his partner into his groin and that's OK?
Eli Buchanan is livid! Hammerstein tags in Anna Matthews and the two dump Agent D out of the ring. Matthews pulls B to his feet and whips him into the corner before unleashing a big ball of violence on him! She finishes up and exits to the apron, she leaps onto the top rope and flips forward... SEATED SENTON! La Cucaracha chases Eli Buchanan away as he tries to retrieve his Agent. Matthews covers, but he kicks out at one. She gets up, pulling him up with her and tries to whip him into the ropes, but she gets reversed - Matthews is sent in and ducks the initial clothesline attempt. She hits the ropes again and does a somersault flip over Agent B as he ducks down for what probably was a back body drop. She hits the ropes a third time, gathering a ton of speed... BAKATARE SLIDING KICK! Agent B goes down and rolls out of the ring... Matthews grabs the top rope and dives out on top of him! Hammerstein jumps into the ring and grabs Agent D as he's trying to pull himself inside the ring. He yanks him to his feet and tries to Drop the Hammer, but D shoves him forward! Hammerstein bounces back, hits an eye poke and snap DDTs him! STOP! HAMMAH-TIME! He rolls D onto his back and hooks the leg!
1...
...
2...
...
3!
BASTIAN KRULL: Hammerstein did it!
Hammerstein gets to his feet and raises his arms triumphantly! He turns around and sees Eli Buchanan in the ring, who has a big smile on his face. Buchanan offers a handshake, but Hammerstein hugs him! Buchanan pulls himself out of the hug and pulls out what appears to be a contract from the briefcase he was carrying. The camera pans to reveal it's a contract for BUCK U PRODUCTIONS and Eli gives Hammerstein a pen, telling him that he wants his best friend to be apart of his venture. Hammerstein is about to sign it when he looks up, then points to La Cucaracha and Anna Matthews on the outside and asks about them. Eli Buchanan angrily shakes his head no and tells Hammerstein it's just him or nothing. Hammerstein looks dejected, then folds the paper back up and puts it in Eli's breast pocket. Buchanan looks like than impressed about it, watching Hammerstein as he begins to leave. The Agents of Pain both come around opposite sides of the ring and attack Matthews and Cucaracha. Hammerstein tries to exit the ring to help, but Buchanan thwacks him with the briefcase! Hammerstein falls onto the mat in a heap. The Agents toss Anna into the ring and Eli opens the briefcase up, pulls out a pair of handcuffs and restrains her to the ropes! He yells "DO IT!" to the Agents on the outside, who each nod and pull La Cucaracha up off the ground... then double flapjack her across the top of the guardrail! The Japanese fans gasp as Cucaracha crumples to the ground. Eli Buchanan beckons his men back into the ring and they slide in, pulling Hammerstein up and each restrain an arm.
ELI BUCHANAN: Jacob... I tried, I really tried... but this is your fau--no, no, no... ANNA MATTHEWS! THIS IS YOUR FAULT!
Eli leans over, pulling something else out of the briefcase... HE FIREBALLS HAMMERSTEIN as Anna Matthews tries desperately to break free and help her man!
BASTIAN KRULL: OH MY GOD!
ELI BUCHANAN: That's how it's done, you idiot!
Buchanan yells at Hammerstein, who has rolled out to the floor and is being attended to by Bastian Krull, Chad Gomez and stage hands with a wet towel to throw on his face. Buchanan sneers at Matthews on the ropes, dropping the keys at her feet. The Agents and Buchanan make their exit as Matthews scrambles to unlock her cuffs and check on both her partners on the outside.

Sitting in his silver '05 Mustang GT, Alexander Irvine rolls down his window as a crowd of fans swarms around him. A pair of twins walks up to the car holding pictures and a pen.
"Mr. Irvine, can we get you autograph?"
"Well Alright then, so what are ya'll twins?"
"No" The camera pans out and a third sister steps out of the crowd of fans. "We're triplets."
"Tr..tri...Triplets." Irvine's eyes grow wide as he blinks wildly, the screen becoming flooded with the images of the three girls faces moving separate for one another, up and down across the screen. Irvine is seen against with his tongue slightly out making the same trademark sound we all know to well from cinematic comedic images of a crazy person, be it person or toon. The screen comes back and down the girls are dressed in leotards holding sparklers.
"FEVER!"
The camera goes to Irvine as a small comes on to his face, followed by the sight of three lookalike cops standing together spitting out popcorn, three young boys throwing baseballs into their own gloves, and three middle-aged girls hugging a tree, one above the other.
"FEVER!"
Intensely looking over the crowd of fans Irvine raises his fingers to one another the slowly moves them apart for one another, spanning over the crowd.
"FEVER!"
Three men stand up from the other side of the mustang and all take a bite out of a slice of watermelon at the same time.
"FEVER."
Image of cells splitting crosses the screen, going away in the blink of an eye to show Irvine now standing onto of the mustang's hood, arms out stretched as he slowly starts to raise is head and right hand to the sky.
"FEEEEEEVVVVVVEEEEERRRRRR!"
Screen cuts to a quick black screen and then shows Irvine now sitting in the driver seat as he starts to close the door.
"FUNDOSHI~!"
The car door slams shut, the engine roars, and Irvine peels out of the crowd as the break open and then slowly merge together again as the watch him pull off into the horizon.

JAKE AARONS: This match is for the Heritage Championship! Scheduled for one fall with a fifteen minute time limit! Introducing first the challenger from West Monroe, Louisiana! He weighs in at one hundred and ninety pounds... JOHNNY WEYLAND!
The lights in the arena fade away and as "If I had a Tail" by Queens of the Stone Age hits, the lights come back up in crimson red. Josh Homme's voice calls out the lyrics as the anticipation grows in the crowd. "Gitchy gitchy, Oooh la la, Da doo run run, Ya won't get far." The lion's mouth roars open as John Weyland steps through. He stands and looks out at the fans as smoke billows out of the lion's nostrils. He's wearing a hooded robe, hiding most of his face. He makes his way down the center of the elevated ramp towards the ring, when finally reaches the ring ropes he pushes his hood back off of his head. Josh Homme sings, "I'm machine, obsolete. The land of the free--Lobotomy." Weyland uses the top rope to sling himself up and over the rope and into the ring. He goes to the center of the ring where he takes off his robe as the lights return to normal. Josh Homme sings, "If I had a tail, i'd own, the night." Weyland goes to his corner as the music fades and warms up as he waits.
DARKNESS COATS US!
JAKE AARONS: His opponent being accompanied to the ring by Kassie Dark! From Duluth, Minnesota! He weighs in two hundred and ten pounds... he is the current, reigning and defending Heritage Champion... COREY CRUELTY!
The lights dim and lightning effects dart across the venue as the blast beats and jagged vocals of Avenged Sevenfold's "Darkness Surrounding" echo throughout the arena. After a moment or two, the heavy part kicks in and a sombre figure emerges in a longer duster jacket with his head bowed low. Corey Cruelty poses in the lion's mouth, arms forming an X over his crotch before he slowly makes his way down to the ring with Kassie Dark in tow.
JAKE AARONS: Your referee for this bout is Brian Shelzi!
Cruelty hands his jacket to Kassie Dark as referee Brian Shelzi holds the Heritage title up in the air before handing it off to a stage hand and calling for the bell. The bell sounds and the two lock-up, but Cruelty quickly grabs an arm wringer and begins twisting and wrenching it. Weyland rolls through, pops up, jabs Cruelty with his free hand to break up the hold and clamps on a side headlock before taking the champion down to the mat! The Heritage Champion fights his way back up to his feet and atomic drops Weyland! Weyland hops off his knee and hits the ropes, he comes back out and ducks a forearm shot, turns around and pops Cruelty with one jab, two jabs, three jabs! Cruelty is dazed! The champion charges forth and eats a spinebuster! Weyland floats over for the cover!
1...
...
2-KICK OUT!
The men get back up and Cruelty tries for a backslide pin, but Weyland counters out of it and brings Cruelty back down to the mat with a side headlock! Frustrated, Cruelty once again fights back to his feet and shoves Weyland off into the ropes. He tries for a clothesline, but Weyland ducks... he tries for a clothesline on the return, but again he ducks! Weyland springs off the ropes a third time and goes for a flying forearm but Cruelty flapjacks him onto the top rope! Weyland falls back into the middle of the ring choking.
CHAD GOMEZ: Nothin' fancy about that one.
BASTIAN KRULL: The Champion looking a bit frustrated here in the early moments. He's only had a week to prepare for Johnny Weyland who is stylistically very different from his original opponent, Jack Rose. Weyland uses a very MMA inspired repertoire.
CHAD GOMEZ: Coupled with the fact that even with only a year experience under his belt, Weyland has more experience than Corey Cruelty.
BASTIAN KRULL: Very true, but rookies can beat even the best of veterans.
Cruelty pulls Weyland up and slams him into the turnbuckle. With Weyland up against the ropes, Cruelty hammers him with some forearm shots before shooting him out into the opposite ropes. On the return, Weyland blocks the champion's strike - nails him with a combo and then lands a sitout jawbreaker! Cruelty bounds across the ring holding his jaw in pain and ends up leaning over the top rope. Weyland rushes to his feet and tries to go for the Spine Chiller, but the champion Corey Cruelty wisely hangs onto the top rope and Weyland crashes to the mat. Cruelty pulls him up to his knees and throws him in the corner where he begins pummelling him with stomps to the chest. He yanks Weyland up and plants him into the mat with a facebuster! Weyland pops up, holding his face and leans over the middle rope to try and buy himself some time but Cruelty walks over and presses his knee against his neck, choking him as he delivers some hammerfists to the side of Weyland's head. Shelzi calls for the break and Cruelty backs off.
BASTIAN KRULL: Corey Cruelty has been much talked about these last few months. He remains undefeated in singles competition, holds a victory over Ro--
CHAD GOMEZ: A DQ WIN!
BASTIAN KRULL: Yes, a DQ win over Robb Daniels. He retained his title just three weeks ago at Beach Blast over Jack Rose with the help of Robb Daniels, which has got some people talking. Is Corey Cruelty aligned with Robb Daniels? Is this some kind of young boy, tough love treatment to initiate him into the Essential alongside Daniels and Ben Chrenshaw? The both of which are also competing in title matches later tonight.
Cruelty returns, blasting Weyland with a couple of elbow strikes before pushing him out onto the apron. Cruelty leans over and pulls him up, but Weyland grabs a muay thai clinch! He begins peppering the champ with uppercuts! He staggers him back into the middle of the ring and grabs the top rope, launching himself over with a flying forearm in mind... but Cruelty forearms him in the face and drops him like a fly! He drops down for a cover!
1...
...
2...
KICK OUT!
Cruelty argues about the count, but grabs Weyland while doing so. The Japanese fans begin a light "WEYLAND" chant as Cruelty clamps on a bearhug, trying to soften up Weyland's back. Weyland attempts to pull Cruelty's head back to create some distance between the two and allow him to get a strike on the champion, but the Heritage champ squeezes tighter on the bear hug. Weyland tries again, this time using the palm of his hand to push Cruelty's chin up making things mighty uncomfortable for him. Cruelty is forced to let go, and Weyland quickly applies the clinch and catches him with a knee! It rocks him! With the champ staggered, he pops off a couple more strikes before bounding off the ropes and leaping into the air... FLYING FOREARM! Cruelty goes down, but pops back up just in time to eat a leg lariat! Weyland has got a ton of momentum as he backs into the corner and waits for Cruelty to get to his feet... he charges, CRUELTY LEAPS UP AND AROUND... CRUCIFIX DRIVER! Weyland's momentum carries him into the turnbuckles! Cruelty gets up, still dazed by the knee and looks for him. Kassie points him in the direction of the corner and Cruelty makes his way ov--WEYLAND CHARGES OUT! SPINEBUSTER! COVER!
1...
...
2...
...
3-NO!
Weyland pulls Cruelty up and twists him around... looking for his inverted scoop brainbuster that he calls the Lights Out. Cruelty is hoisted into the air, but slips out the back and spins Weyland around... he kicks him in the gut and goes for his crucifix powerbomb! He gets him up... HEADSCISSORS BY WEYLAND! WHAT A COUNTER! Weyland scrambles to his feet... KICK TO THE GUT FROM CRUELTY! Cruelty pulls him in... PILEDRIVER! The Oblivion hits!
1...
...
2...
...
3!
CHAD GOMEZ: So, not only has Corey Cruelty become the longest reigning Heritage Champion - he is now the winning-est champion as he completes his second defense and surpasses the single defense record set by first champion Jon Davenport.
BASTIAN KRULL: Johnny Weyland though? Great kid, I see a lot of potential in him and these two put on a hell of a match and it's something I'd like to see once again down the line. Weyland should not be discouraged by that performance because he did wonderful. I think his momentum got the better of him in the final moment and that was Cruelty's chance to capitalize.
Kassie Dark meets Corey Cruelty on the runway with his title belt while Weyland slowly sits up, holding his neck as stage hands put ice packs on it. Cruelty's music dies out and the Japanese fans show their appreciation for Weyland by shouting his name. Weyland gets to his feet and does a bow before exiting the ring.

JAKE AARONS: This match is for the Iron Championship and is a Knockout or Submission match with a twenty minute time limit! Introducing first the challenger from British Columbia, Canada! He weighs in at two hundred and nineteen pounds.... THE BLAZIN' KING JULIAN CUTLASS!
The stone-grooved rhythm of “Columbia” by Oasis gets the heads off the crowd bobbing as the speakers buzz to the pulse of the bass. Julian Cutlass emerges from the backstage clad in a blue, hooded robe and the crowd warps into a frenzy as he steadily makes his way down the aisle with a relaxed, assured confidence. He throws the robe to one of the handlers outside of the ring before climbing the steps and ducking underneath the top rope to enter the ring. He stretches his legs and throws a few punches before standing in his corner in wait.
JAKE AARONS: His opponent from London, England! He weighs in at two hundred and thirteen pounds... he is the current, reigning and defending Iron Champion! THE CRIPPLER! BEN CHRENSHAW!
"Panic" by the Smiths hits and Ben Chrenshaw steps out of the lion's mouth with his hands on his hips. He surveys the crowd as they barrage him with boos, but the sly smirk that adorns the former Heritage Champion's face tells you all you need to know about what he thinks of them. He casually strolls down the runway, reaching the ring before he nonchalantly enters and gets checked over by the referee in charge.
JAKE AARONS: Your referee for this bout is Xavier Price!
Referee Xavier Price calls for the bell and the two men have a good feeling out process, circling about the ring with Cutlass throwing feint kicks and Chrenshaw faking take down attempts. Eventually, the Crippler calls for a knuckle lock and the Blazin' King is happy to oblige his request. The two lock hands, but Cutlass quickly grabs his leg and trips his other leg to bring Chrenshaw down to the mat and tries for a heel hook. Chrenshaw plays it smart and stands right up while in the hold, but Cutlass uses his foot to push the Iron Champion right back down to the mat. This forces Ben Chrenshaw to slip his free leg in between Cutlass' arms and kick his other leg free. The Japanese crowd applauds as both men get back to their feet.
BASTIAN KRULL: With the KO or Submission stipulation attached to this, this one is bound to be a bit slower paced in the early goings. When you're fresh out of the locker room, you're trying to stick to your game plan and not get caught with your chin up or easily give up a limb. As the match progresses and these men wear each other out, you'll see things get a lot more sloppy and dare I say desperate?
Chrenshaw tries to swoop in for a take down, but Cutlass blocks it and pulls some double underhooks on the champion. The challenger tries for a butterfly suplex but Chrenshaw drops his weight to the mat so Cutlass rolls with that and tries for a butterfly lock, but Chrenshaw throws his leg over the bottom rope to get a break. Referee Price stands the two men up and restarts the action. More circling leads to a kick to the thigh from Ben Chrenshaw which he uses to lead in for his take down attempt, Chrenshaw grabs one leg and Cutlass clamps on to his head with a side headlock to remain standing. Chrenshaw lets go and Cutlass swings the champion over with his hips - a beautiful side headlock takeover - and clamps on an armbar! Chrenshaw scrambles and gets his foot on the ropes to break the hold once more. The Japanese crowd again applaud as both men return to their feet. Cutlass fakes a take down attempt and Ben Chrenshaw goes for a kick, but it gets caught and one Dragon screw leg whip later, the champion is down on the mat in a toe hold. Chrenshaw takes Cutlass' back and tries to pull his arm off his foot, but Cutlass is determined not to let go. Chrenshaw finally gets close enough to the ropes to force a break. Chrenshaw and Cutlass lock-up once more and Cutlass does a quick go behind, grabbing a rear waist lock on the former Heritage Champion. Chrenshaw reaches down, pulls up Cutlass' leg and begins wrenching back on the top half of it as they both fall to the mat.
CHAD GOMEZ: This is an interesting bout, you're not seeing a ton of pro-wrestling moves but a lot of amateur wrestling and jujitsu. Very much a chess match.
BASTIAN KRULL: And a smart strategy - if you're on your feet, you run the risk of being knocked out. Of course, you can be knocked out on the ground also, but you have a bit more control over the situation at hand.
Cutlass wraps his legs around Chrenshaw's arm after holding it back with his own arm, and clamps on an armbar! Chrenshaw is reasonably sweating by this point and stands up and slips out, clamping on a kneebar as he falls to the mat. Cutlass cries out in pain before trying to upkick his way out of it, but the Crippler is expertly dodging them leaving Cutlass' only option besides tapping out to be rolling to the ropes for the break. The two men lock-up again and Cutlass pulls a front facelock and then drills Chrenshaw in the chest with a knee that knocks him to the ground. The Japanese crowd gasps as Xavier Price swoops in for a better look, but the Iron Champion gets up and staggers back into the corner where Julian Cutlass smells blood. The challenger runs in and begins delivering vicious knees to the stomach! With Chrenshaw doubled over, Cutlass delivers a huge exploder suplex and floats over into an armbar! Chrenshaw scrambles for the ropes, but he's in the centre of the ring! He rolls into the hold, stacking Cutlass and begins pulling all of Cutlass' body weight toward the ropes and finally gets there. Cutlass releases the hold and Chrenshaw is exhausted!
BASTIAN KRULL: The heart of a champion right there! I thought he was done for!
Even Cutlass applauds that along with the Japanese fans, Chrenshaw is very slow to get up and tries to recompose himself but Cutlass presses his attack. The champion tries to ward Julian Cutlass off with kicks, but Cutlass catches one and slaps on a kneebar! Chrenshaw gets both his hands underneath his knee to alleviate the pressure before focusing on separating Cutlass' legs. He pulls the hold apart and begins dragging Cutlass into the centre of the ring... then rolls Cutlass over.... WRINKLE IN TIME! The single leg crab is locked in! Cutlass counters it, knocking Chrenshaw to the mat and folds the champion's leg up so that his own heel is touching his butt creating all kinds of pain and pressure! Julian Cutlass tries to change this up into a cloverleaf, going so far as to get him turned over and sit on his back but the champion uses every fibre of his being to drag himself to the ropes and break the hold!
CHAD GOMEZ: Did you see how Cutlass was bending Chrenshaw's leg!?
The two men get up and Ben Chrenshaw returns the knee from earlier to Julian Cutlass, catching him right in the stomach! He goes behind with a hammerlock and slowly begins transitioning it... CROSSFACE CHICKENWING! Cutlass is easily able to escape it though, and Chrenshaw tries to German suplex himself instead, but he blocks it! He goes for it again... blocked again! Chrenshaw puts him back down on his own two feet... HEEL HOOK! Cutlass reached through his legs and pulled a leg through to apply the hold! Chrenshaw tries to roll over and grab the ropes, but Cutlass releases the hold, leaps to his feet and clamps on a front facelock to bring him back in the middle of the ring. He doublle underhooks the arm and begins unleashing his knee bomber attack, but Chrenshaw catches a leg and picks Cutlass up... he charges Cutlass knee first into the turnbuckle! The momentum of the hit brings Cutlass down to the mat, sort of sunset flipping Chrenshaw in the process. Chrenshaw pops up, stomps the knee and immediately clamps on the single leg crab!
BASTIAN KRULL: Wrinkle in Time!
Cutlass manages to roll onto his back, but Chrenshaw still has control of his leg. Cutlass rears his leg back... UPKICK! UPKICK! Chrenshaw looks staggered and releases for a moment, only to deliver a vicious kick to the back of the knee/hamstring! He grabs the leg again and throws Cutlass back onto his stomach and leans all the way back! Cutlass reaches for the ropes directly ahead of him... too far. He reaches for the ropes beside him! Within reach... he lunges, but Chrenshaw pulls him back at that exact moment! Cutlass taps! The bell sounds, but Chrenshaw keeps the hold applied! Referee Xavier Price has to forcibly break the hold, and Cutlass is up in a hurry, limping away and palm striking the hell out of Chrenshaw! Chrenshaw back pedals and falls through the ropes to the apron, grabs his belt and raises it much to the chagrin of the Blazin' King.

JAKE AARONS: This is your main event of the evening! Scheduled for one fall with a thirty minute time limit! It is for the King of the Lions Championship!
AS I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH!
"Gangster's Paradise" by Coolio begins to play throughout the arena. The lights abruptly turn off all at once as the music continues to play. Seemingly hundreds of camera flashes begin lighting up the darkened arena then suddenly the curtain is thrown back and Robb Daniels and his wife Lauren emerge from the lion's mouth... Robb wears a very serious look upon his face, walking down the centre of the runway with his wife in tow. He points to the King of the Lions Championship before stopping on the apron, holding the ropes open for his wife then wiping his boots before stepping through himself. He circles the ring, removing his robe and sunglasses and handing them off to a stage hand. He removes the title belt from around his waist, kisses it and hoists it into the air before climbing up the turnbuckles. He looks around at the crowd, enjoying the negative reaction as he talks trash right back to them. He tells the camera that he's the champ before dropping down, handing the belt off and fixing his wrist tape as the music ends. There is a brief pause between music which allows the Japanese fans to come alive with "KENSHIN" calls. The place explodes when "Phenomenon" by Dir en Grey kicks up over the speaker system as the fans get to their feet. The lion's head entrance tunnel roars, allowing the Japanese sensation, Kenshin Takamure, to emerge. The crowd erupts as he poses in front of the lion's head. This is when the smoke begins pouring from the lon's nostrils before The Tokyo Tiger sprints toward the ring, leaps over the top rope, and rolls into the center of the ring. In one fluid motion, he returns to his feet then leaps up upon the far turnbuckle and panders to the crowd before dropping down and stretching prior to the beginning of the match.
JAKE AARONS: Introducing first from Knoxville, Tennessee. He weighs in at two hundred and thirty five pounds... the current, reigning and defending KING OF THE LIONS CHAMPION... ROBB DANIELS!
Daniels steps forward, holding his title high as a decent amount of streamers fly in.
JAKE AARONS: Introducing the challenger...
Aarons begins to be drowned out.
JAKE AARONS: FROM TOKYO, JAPAN! WEIGHING IN AT TWO HUNDRED AND TWENTY NINE POUNDS... TAKAMURA KENSHIN!
An insane amount of streamers fill the ring as he bows.
JAKE AARONS: Your referee for this contest is Cordell Garner!
The bell sounds at referee Cordell Garner's request and champion and challenger begin this match with a traditional collar and elbow tie-up, which champion Robb Daniels pulls into a standing side headlock. He proceeds to walk circles, wrenching it in as he goes before deciding he's going to take Takamura down to the mat. The Tokyo Tiger has other ideas as he counters the attempt and slowly begins powering out of the side headlock, turning it into a top wrist lock and then into an arm wringer. Daniels rolls forward, springs up and hip tosses Takamura to the mat! Takamura roars to his feet to the delight of his hometown crowd, but finds himself right back down on the mat as Daniels takes him there with a side headlock takeover! It doesn't take long for Takamura to begin fighting to his feet, so Daniels turns it into a rear chinlock instead to better control the Tokyo Tiger as he's pulling himself up to his feet. Kenshin Takamura gets up and backs into the ropes causing referee Cordell Garner to call for a break. Daniels begins pulling back, raising his hands as he eyes Garner... THEN POPS TAKAMURA IN THE MOUTH WITH A FOREARM! The challenger falls back against the ropes as the Japanese crowd gives a small bit of boos for the cheap shot, but quickly come alive again as Takamura drills Daniels with not one, not two, but three forearm smashes as a receipt! Daniels falls into him and Takamura grabs a side headlock and tries to step out into the middle of the ring, but the champion wisely backs him into the ropes and shoots him off! On the return, Takamura is dropped to the mat with a toe hold. He rolls onto his back as Daniels charges forward... DIVING KNE---NOBODY HOME!
CHAD GOMEZ: You watch closely, Bas, because that'll be the key to this match - Robb Daniels excels, absolutely excels at doing little, irritating things to get under his opponent's skin. He does not have the flashiest in ring style but the King of the Lions Crown that sits only a few feet away from us, that ten pounds of gold, is a testament to the fact that his style works.
BASTIAN KRULL: There's no denying the champion's abilities. Daniels has his style down to an art and if there's one fighter in Lion's Road that I would bank on walking into a tense situation and atmosphere like here tonight in Tokyo, and not letting it affect him - it's him. All of Korakuen Hall is on Kenshin Takamura's side, you can hear the chants... but I don't think Daniels does because the champion is business as usual so far in this match.
Daniels turns, almost expecting Takamura to jump on the chance to attack him but the Tokyo Tiger gets to his feet, backs into the corner and waits for the champion to get up and dust himself off. After he does just that, the two engage in a tie-up and Daniels delivers a knee lift to double his challenger over. Daniels grabs Takamura by the chin, standing him up straight and fires off a blistering knife edge chop! Takamura backs up a bit, selling the pain before coming back... CHOP! CHOP! CHOP! Takamura backs Daniels up into the corner and goes for a tie-uo, but Takamura is swung around and pressed into the corner himself! Daniels slams two overhand chops down on the Tokyo Tiger's chest before Kenshin returns fire! The two then begin exchanging single blows until Takamura seems to stagger Daniels, knocking him back into the adjacent corner. Takamura grabs him and Irish whips him into the opposite corner... Daniels flips up in the corner and crashes back down! Takamura pulls him up... half nelson, half choke... TIGER SUPLEX '85! He covers!

FOOT ON THE ROPE!
Garner gets up and checks to make sure Lauren Parker didn't put the foot there, but she's on the opposite side of the ring. Takamura wastes no time, grabbing that foot and yanking him into he middle of the ring where he clamps on a cloverleaf hold! Daniels writhes in pain, but the champion is insistent that he will not give up and inches closer and closer to the ropes... Lauren Parker pushes the bottom ropes closer but Garner gets up and kicks her hand away as Takamura wrenches back a little bit more. The champion bellows in pain and lunges for the bottom rope to successfully cause a break in the submission. The challenger pulls Daniels up to his feet and whips him into the ropes, or tries to as Daniels reverses it and sends him in. Takamura ducks Daniels' attack and the fans pop as Takamura comes out of this exchange with the champion in an abdominal stretch in the dead centre of the ring! Roughly thirty seconds go by before Daniels is able to snatch Takamura's leg up and judo throw him to the mat to get out of it. Daniels backs into the corner to regain his composure then charges out... but his knee drop misses again! Daniels rolls out of the ring before Takamura can capitalize on that. His wife, Lauren Parker comes over to towel his face and pat him on the back. Daniels smirks at Takamura, who's growing more than a little impatient with his antics. Daniels climbs onto the apron, but drops back down as Takamura charges after him. Daniels tells Garner to keep him back or he's not getting in.
BASTIAN KRULL: Robb Daniels doing what he does best - the mind games. Kenshin Takamura built a bit of momentum in that last sequence and the champion recognizes this, he exits the ring and he takes his sweet time getting back in.
CHAD GOMEZ: It's brilliant, isn't it? Daniels allows the adrenaline levels to go back to normal. With the amount of support Takamura has from this Tokyo crowd, you don't want him to be a steam train full of momentum because that crowd will keep on feeding him. You may not be able to recover once he gets going.
BASTIAN KRULL: After killing a good minute and a half on the outside, it looks like we're finally ready to go again as Daniels climbs onto the apron and gets back in the ring.
Daniels and Takamura go for a knuckle lock, but as soon as Takamura is committed to it - the champion drives his knee into Takamura's gut, breaking their hands free before he begins raining down elbows on the back of his head. He grabs his challenger and shoots him into the ropes... on the return, he drops him to the mat with a sidewalk slam! He hooks the leg on the lateral press!

2-KICK OUT!
Daniels yanks Takamura to his feet and clamps on an abdominal stretch and begins viciously wrenching back. It may have proven to be a mistake because he seems to wear himself out, and this allows Takamura to hip toss him to the mat as he breaks free! Daniels tries to return to his feet but a well placed kick to the chest sends the champion back down. Takamura rushes to the corner and excitedly bounces in place as he watches Daniels stagger up to his feet... SLING BLADE! He jumps on top!
1...
...
2-KICK OUT!
Takamura gets up and lines Daniels up... he charges forth, but Daniels grabs his leg and more or less tackles him to the mat. The King of the Lions Champion gets up, spins around the leg and has the Tokyo Tiger in the dead centre of the ring with a spinning toe hold applied! Daniels tries to transition it into a figure four leglock, but the challenger small packages him!

3-NO!
The Japanese crowd gasps and Takamura questions the count, but is assured it was only a two. The challenger gets to his feet and clamps on a side headlock, but Daniels grabs his leg and hoists him up... slamming the leg down across his knee! Takamura writhes in pain on the mat as Daniels slowly gets to his feet, he then drags the foot over to the bottom rope and drapes it across. He leaps up and brings all his weight down on it before stomping it a few times for good measure. Daniels then pulls him back into the centre of the ring, twists around the leg and hesitates... almost daring Takamura to small package him again, but when the challenger rises up to attempt it - DANIELS SLAPS HIM and fully applies the figure four! Takamura flails about in pain, looking for a rope to grab but everything is out of reach! He grabs his head in pain and falls to the mat!
1...
...
2 - Takamura pops back up. He begins shaking his arms as the crowd rallies behind him with LOUD "KENSHIN!" chants, he raises his right arm in the air and tries to turn the hold over but Daniels is trying his damndest to ensure he cannot do this! The crowd comes alive when he gets it turned over and Daniels yells, dragging himself to the ropes and forcing the hold to be broken! Referee Garner barely gets them untangled when Daniels jumps right into full mount on Takamura and begins hammering on him! Garner gets into position and tells Takamura that he has to intelligently defend himself and the Tokyo Tiger manages to grab Daniels' wrists and get control. Daniels stands up, drops a knee into Takamura's bread basket and then crawls away as Takamura coughs on the mat. Daniels pulls himself up with the ropes and turns to see Takamura up to one knee, so he marches over to him and throws him out of the ring between the top and middle ropes! Takamura crashes hard to the floor and Daniels remains in the ring.
BASTIAN KRULL: I don't agree with that strategy!
CHAD GOMEZ: Why not? Daniels doesn't need to pin or submit Kenshin Takamura, the challenger needs to do that to Daniels! Daniels can win by count out and retain, he can get Takamura so frustrated that he gets himself disqualified and retains. Heck, Daniels can get himself disqualified and retain the title.
BASTIAN KRULL: He could, but an intentional disqualification in a title match carries a good sized fine.
CHAD GOMEZ: Sometimes that title belt is worth more than gold to its holder, Bas. Any means necessary.
Takamura drags himself up onto the apron at the count of 16 after choking and coughing, trying to stabilize his breathing on the outside. Daniels grabs him in a front facelock and throws his arm over... he hooks the tights and brainbusters him back into the ring and floats over for the cover!

KICK OUT!
Daniels gets up, backs into the corner and comes charging out again... KNEE DROP! HE HITS THIS TIME! With Takamura shaking his head and trying to get to a vertical base, Daniels leans through the ropes and gets a kiss from his wife. He turns around... BOOT TO THE GUT! Takamura hoists him into the air... RUNS FORWARD... POWERBOMB~! He holds it for the pin!

3-NO! DANIELS GRABS THE ROPE!
The Tokyo Tiger climbs to his feet and watches Daniels while he's leaning on the ropes catching his breath. When Daniels gets halfway up, the challenger begins stomping his chest! Daniels turns and gives up his back, but Takamura just yanks him to his feet and shoots him off the ropes... the return sees the TSUNAMI CRASH! The rolling elbow connects and Daniels' eyes widen before he topples backwards and falls through the middle ropes. A frustrated Kenshin Takamura goes out after him, but Lauren Parker gets in his way to buy her husband some time. Takamura tries to grab her and move her aside, but she slaps him! Before Takamura can react, the place explodes as referee Cordell Garner calls for security and stage hands and they come and forcibly remove her! Daniels is clearly loopy from the elbow as he's not having a ton of luck standing on his own two feet, he climbs on the runway and rolls across as Takamura nearly grabs him. This forces Takamura to climb up and over to go after him, Daniels moves around the ring post and falls to the ground. The Tokyo Tiger comes around and grabs Daniels up, looking to throw him back into the ring but the champion throws Takamura face first into the ring post!
BASTIAN KRULL: Oh god! Did you hear that smack!?
CHAD GOMEZ: Smack? I think his blood flew over here! Look at my notes!
Indeed, Takamura is wearing a crimson mask! Daniels dives into the ring as the Tokyo Tiger crumbles to the floor. Referee Cordell Garner begins his 20 count fresh and Daniels is still on wobbly legs as he bounds across the ring and uses those ropes to hoist himself to his feet. Garner's count reaches seventeen and Daniels looks on in horror as Takamura emerges from the floor like Super Shredder at the end of the second Ninja Turtles movie. Face bloodied, Takamura grabs the second rope and pulls himself onto the apron and under the bottom rope. Daniels runs over and kicks Takamura in the face, but he begins shaking... the Japanese crowd gasp as Takamura roars to his feet and begins blistering Daniels with knife edge chops! Daniels is backed up into the ropes and then shot out... YAKUZA KICK! Daniels staggers in place until Takamura scoops him up... TAKAMURA DR--NO! Daniels slips out the back door and pushes Takamura into the ropes. He hits sternum first and comes back... CHOP BLOCK! Takamura goes down, but quickly gets back up on his knees. Daniels brings him to his feet... PICTURE PER-NO! Takamura shoves him sternum first into the turnbuckle... he rebounds out, GERMAN SUPLEX! He tries to bridge, but collapses...

3!
The place goes nuts!
CHAD GOMEZ: DID YOU SAY SOMETHING?
BASTIAN KRULL: What!?
Kenshin Takamura rises to his feet and immediately falls back down to his knees, his bloody face falling into his hands. Loud "KENSHIN" chants fill the Korakuen Hall as Jake Aarons gets in the ring for the official announcement. Referee Cordell Garner greets him, the two briefly chat and Aarons' face goes white as a ghost and a big gulp precedes his announcement...
JAKE AARONS: Ladies and gentlemen... referee Cordell Garner has just informed me that he did in fact make a three count fall, but BOTH MEN'S shoulders were on the mat resulting in a double pin! Therefore this match is a draw!
Kenshin Takamura looks as though he's going to cry, having this great moment literally ripped from his hands as Garner tries to take the belt back. He tugs on it, not wanting to give it back. Garner dips out of the ring as Ben Chrenshaw comes running down, Takamura drops the belt and begins fending him off. Robb Daniels jumps up and starts fighting too after Chrenshaw is dropped. Daniels goes down, Takamura is spun around and he decks... MATT PULVER!? Takamura holds his hands to his head as Matt Pulver gets up, not very happy about being struck. Takamura pleads his case to Pulver but being punched in the face doesn't really make you very receptive to listening. Pulver shakes his head and leaves, Takamura chasing behind him. Daniels grabs his title and gathers Chrenshaw, the two flanked by security as they hightail it out of there.
