Athena Pro - Nov. 1
Queen Elizabeth Stadium, Hong Kong
Queen Elizabeth Stadium, Hong Kong
All three teams are already in the ring as the show starts. ‘Man I Feel Like a Woman’ plays and Commissioner Asami Konno comes out to the ring with a mic.
Commissioner Konno - Good evening everyone, thank you all for coming here tonight. All three of these teams were in our impromptu battle royal last week and all three didn’t work together too well, so I am going to change this match around a bit. I am going to mix up the teams. Yuhi, you are now teaming with Chii. Riho, your new partner is Rabbit. That leaves Tiger Dream and Evie as the third team. Have fun and good luck ladies.
The new teams meet in their corners and discuss tactics. Chii, Riho and Evie will start the match. The ref calls for the bell. Riho goes right after Chii. Evie watches for a bit before helping Riho double team Chii. When they send Chii to the floor, Riho and Evie go after each other. Chii sneaks back in and tags in Yuhi.
Yuhi hits Riho and Evie with a double dropkick. Rabbit makes a hot tag on Riho. Yuhi and Evie are exchanging their best kicks. Yuhi gets the advantage and flattens Evie with her jumping back kick. Rabbit comes off the top turnbuckle and lands a tornado DDT on Yuhi. Rabbit makes the cover and gets the three count.
Rabbit Miu pinned Yuhi with a tornado DDT
Riho & Rabbit Miu win the match
Dark Angel comes down the ramp on crutches and a brace on her knee. Alyson Hau holds the ropes open for her.
Alyson Hau - Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Dark Angel. (The crowd cheers) Dark Angel, last week you had your second chance to win the JPP Openweight Title and came away empty handed. You also came away with what looks like a pretty bad injury. The first question I’m sure all our great fans want to know is, how is your knee?
Dark Angel - Thank you all for your great support. So many of you have sent me emails, tweets and flowers this week. You are the greatest fans anyone could hope for. As for my injury, when the match was stopped last week, my knee felt like it was on fire. I’d never felt pain like that before. By the time I got to the hospital, my knee was swollen like a softball. They immobilised my leg and gave me some pain killers. The swelling had gone done enough by the next morning to allow them to give me a MRI scan.
The scan showed that nothing was broken and that my only injury was a severely strained MCL. They gave me some pain killers, some anti-inflammatory and this stylish brace. I should be good to return to training in a couple weeks. After that it’s up to Doctor Misawa to clear me to return to ring action.
Alyson Hau - Many fans have posted comments online about how and why Ramu injured you last week. Do you think what she did was deliberate and do you blame her for your injury?
Dark Angel - Every wrestler who wants to be great in this sport goes into a match with a plan. So everything a great wrestler does in a match is a deliberate action towards the goal of winning that match. Ramu has proven herself to be a great wrestler by holding onto the Openweight Title for a year. So, yes, what she did in our match last week was deliberate.
Do I blame her for my injury? No! Everyone in this sports knows that injuries are a part of being a wrestler. If you blame someone else for your injuries, you will be stuck in a cycle of revenge for your entire career. When I’m cleared to get back into the ring, I will once again move my way up the rankings and be better prepared for my next shot at the title.
Ramu comes out, wearing new ring gear under a new full length robe and carrying a bouquet of flowers. There are noticeable jeers mixed in with the cheers from the fans.
Ramu - Everyone, let’s give a great round of applause for Dark Angel. This great competitor gave me a great match last week but I proved again that I am greater. Maybe some day she will be able to reach the level of greatness that I have already achieved.
She was right when she said that what I did last week was deliberate. Everything I do in this ring is deliberate. If a challenger is injured in a match, well that’s just bad luck for them and good luck for me. What kind of wrestler would I be if I didn’t take advantage of an opponent’s obvious injury. I would be a challenger. I am not a challenger, I am a champion.
As your champion, I would like to present this beautiful bouquet of flowers to Dark Angel on behalf of all of my great fans.
Ramu hands the flowers to Dark Angel then leaves the ring to an even more mixed reaction from the crowd. Dark Angel looks a bit confused about what Ramu said.
Hiroyo comes out looking strong and confident. She waits in the ring and does a few warmups. LuFisto comes out wearing a t-shirt that says “Proud Owner of a Mercedes.” Pegaboo comes out, riding on top of a remote control Mercedes. Her car races around the ring and between the ref and Hiroyo’s legs before stopping in a corner. The ref calls for the bell.
After their collision last week in the battle royal, they both asked for this match. They lockup and push and shove each other with neither gaining any advantage. They exchange ever stiffer forearms with Hiroyo eventually sending LuFisto into a corner. Hiroyo hits LuFisto with a chop then another and another and another. LuFisto is just smiling.
LuFisto continues smiling as Hiroyo hits her with more chops. LuFisto turns Hiroyo into the corner and lights her up with chops of her own. When her rights hand is sore, LuFisto switches to her left hand and continues lighting up Hiroyo’s chest. Hiroyo collapses to the mat and her chest is bleeding. LuFisto charges across the ring and hits Hiroyo with a somersault cannonball. LuFisto pulls Hiroyo into the middle of the ring and locks on a rear naked choke. Hiroyo tries to break free but LuFisto locks on a body scissors. Hiroyo taps out.
LuFisto submitted Hiroyo Matsumoto with LuFisto’s Law
Las Guapas (Sexi Star, Amapola & Tiffany) walk down the ramp. Tiffany is looking at herself in a handheld mirror, Amapola is primping her hair, and Sexi Star is taking selfie pics with her iPhone. They climb into the ring and pose for pictures that aren’t being taken. Triple Tails come down the ramp. Io & Mio look very focused and Kana looks very p***ed off. They charge into the ring and jump Las Guapas. They beat them down and send them to the floor. Mio smashes Tiffany’s mirror and Io busts Sexi Star’s iPhone against a ringpost.
Amapola gets back into the ring, facing off against Triple Tails. She’s waving for Sexi Star and Tiffany to join her, but they are on the floor trying to reassemble the mirror and iPhone. Triple Tails go to their corner while Amapola is trying to get her partners’ attention. The ref calls for the bell.
Io charges across the ring and drives Amapola into the turnbuckle with a double knee strike to the back. Io climbs to the top turnbuckle and comes off with a splash on Amapola. Io makes the cover and gets the three count.
Io Shirai pinned Amapola with a Thunder Splash
Triple Tails win the match
JPP Unified tag Team Titles
After winning the battle royal and breaking away from Britani Knight last week, Hannah and Holly look happy for the first time in months. They toss cupcakes out to the crowd and climb into the ring. Tomoka and Kaori come to the ring looking p***ed off at having lost the title and what happened to Dark Angel. Tsukasa and Hikaru come out, proudly wearing the belts and Hikaru is carrying a kendo stick.
Before the ref can even get things started, Britani Knight comes down the ramp to ringside. She goes right over to Hannah and Holly’s corner and begins berating them. They slip out to the floor and chase after Britani. As soon as they go around one corner, they are both laid out by a massively muscled woman wearing a security uniform. Britani smiles at the woman and gives her two thumbs up. The woman lifts Hannah and Holly onto her shoulders and drops them both neck first over the railing. Britani kneels over Hannah and Holly as the muscular woman poses with a menacing look on her face.
Medical staff run out and check on Hannah and Holly. The muscular woman lifts Britani onto her shoulders and carries her up the ramp.
The ref calls the match a no contest
