[glow=red,2,300]Cassler's
Corner[/glow]

Ray Cassler - Good evening everyone and welcome to tonight's episode of Cassler's Corner. We've just come off of another great episode of Athena Pro. We kicked off the night by crowning a new New Territories Tiara champion, Hiren. In a number one contenders match for the JPP Singles title, Kana pinned Martini Ip to earn a shot against my first guest tonight. Please welcome the NWA JPP Singles champion, Hiroyo Matsumoto.

Hiroyo Matsumoto - Thank you Cassler san. I was watching that number one contenders match carefully. I'n looking forward to defending my title against Kana next wek. She never lost the title when she held this belt. In my opinion, she never had to defeat anyone to earn a title match. Kana and I have faced eachother a few times in the past and our matches are always very physical intense battles. I wouldn't want next week's match to be any different.

Kana - Be careful what you ask for Hiroyo because you will get it. You have something that belongs to me. I respect you as a champion and as a wrestler, but that respect doesn't mean I won't hurt or injure you if that's what it takes to get MY belt back. Whether I win or you lose, I expect both of us to be incredibly sore after the match.

Hiroyo Matsumoto - If you're so confident, why not put up something yourself. I've seen that imported beer you have back at the aprtment. Why not put a case of that on the line.

Kana - You're on!
