Whatever her name is in Mexican, it probably means Ugly Troll. If you want a real sexy star, look at us, I’m a star and Yoshiko’s sexy. Who else could look as good as her in gold.
Oh yeah! Just because we’ve been teaming up, doesn’t mean I haven’t forgotten my belt. The JPP Singles belt will be back where it belongs soon enough… around my waist.

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

Ray Cassler - Good evening everyone. We're not at our usual location tonight. We are at St. Paul's Hospital tonight. Immediately after our first match, Hikaru Shida was brought here with a shoulder injury. Joining me now is Hikaru's friend and partner Miyako Matsumoto. Miyako, do you have any news about Hikaru's condition.

Miyako Matsumoto - Because I'm not family, nobody here will tell me how she is. Yumi chan said she'd tell me how Hikaru is when she knows.

Ray Cassler - Did Hikaru tell you anything when you were coming over here?

Miyako Matsumoto - When we were helping her out of the ring and into the car, through the tears she was saying something about a pop.

Ray Cassler - That could just be a dislocated shoulder.

Hikaru Shida - I don't think so. I remember when she had a shoulder dislocation a few years ago, she wasn't in anywhere as much pain as she was tonight.... oh, I'm getting a text from Yumi chan.

Ray Cassler - I hope the news is good.

Hikaru Shida - She says it's not a separation. The swelling and lack of movement indicates a torn rotater cuff. Hikaru is getting an x-ray right now and is scheduled for a MRI in the morning.

Ray Cassler - Owww That sounds serious. As soon as we find out any more news, we'll let eveyong know on nwa-jpp.com

[Deleted]

Hopefully Hikaru gets well soon. Good show, man.
