I need that belt and I will take that belt!

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

Ray Cassler - Welcome to tonight's episode of Cassler's Corner. We had another exciting night of action on Athena Pro with two more matches in the Queen of Legends Series. In the first of the matches, Syuri....

Hiroyo Matsumoto, Yoshiko and Fang Tiaorong come on camera.

Hiroyo Matsumoto - Nobody wants to hear about that scared little runt again. Everything in the last week has been Syuri this, Syuri that, Syuri on tv, Syuri on the internet.

Ray Cassler - I had some other guests scheduled. Would you ladies mind moving along.

Hiroyo Matsumoto - You would if this was your show. This is now Hiroyo's Corner and you're not a guest.... get lost!

Yoshiko grabs the mic from Cassler and Fang Tiaorong threatens him with a sword.

Hiroyo Matsumoto - Now let's talk about what everyone wants to know about.... the Angels of Death!! After I had my debut match almost 6yrs ago, the smartest young girl in japan started the Hiroyo Matsumoto Fan Club. She told me so many times that she'd do anything for her hero.... ME! Last week, I contacted her and took her on her word and now she's here with me.

Yoshiko - I always said I would do anything for you Matsumoto sensei. I was so excited when you asked me to come here.

Hiroyo Matsumoto - As for Fang, she is hired protection. If you want to know how dangerous she can be, try attacking me, or just ask the Hong Kong Police, they know all about her.
Onw of those losers I tossed aside a couple weeks ago has been smart enough to stay away. The other, however, has tried to make me look bad by coming back week after week. Hikaru, this isn't a threat, this is a fact. If you show up next week, your fans won't see you again for a long time.

Yoshiko - The only fans they had were fans the stole from you sensei.

Hiroyo Matsumoto - With both of them gone, we won't have to be subjected to their insipid music anymore.

Kana rules, first of all. Second of all, this Queen of Legend Series seems to be really hotly contested, which is great. Good job, man. The only thing I can say contrary is that I believe the Shidax A is a pinning combination, not a submission, at least from what I've seen of it. Could be wrong about all cases.
