RSPW Carnage 33
📺 Live on the Sanctioned Violence Network
📍 Samurai Summit Arena & Casino, Tokyo Japan
📆 5th September 2025
Live, from the Samurai Summit Arena & Casino in Tokyo, Japan, it’s Rising Sun Pro Wrestling CARNAGE 33! The camera pans across the roaring crowd, a sea of passionate fans filling the tiered seating of the magnificent venue. Red and gold lights pulse rhythmically, illuminating the grandeur of the arena.
Hiro Tanaka: Welcome, everyone, to another monumental night of Rising Sun Pro Wrestling, live on the Sanctioned Violence Network! My name is Hiro Tanaka, and beside me, as always, is my broadcast partner, Alex Mercer. Tonight, from the incredible Samurai Summit Arena, we are set to witness a night of clashes that promises to blend tradition with innovation.
Alex Mercer: That’s right, Hiro. The atmosphere here in Tokyo is absolutely electric! The sun may have set over the city, but it’s about to rise in this ring as we get ready for a night of unforgettable action. We have a card that is absolutely stacked from top to bottom.
Hiro Tanaka: What a lineup, indeed, Alex. We’re kicking things off with a fantastic junior heavyweight bout. The charismatic and energetic Sho Imai Jr., the “Shogun of Speed,” is ready to go head-to-head with the disciplined and focused Daiki Yutaka, “The Rising Sun Warrior.” This is a clash of two very different styles, but both men are a testament to the future of this company.
Alex Mercer: And following that, we have a women’s match that is sure to be a technical masterpiece. The cold, cerebral Reina Kuroi, “The Black Dahlia,” takes on the strategic and serene Mei Nakamura, “The Tranquil Tempest.” This is a battle of wits as much as it is a battle of strength, and I predict we’ll see some high-level submission work from both competitors.
Hiro Tanaka: It truly is a clash of two of the brightest minds in women’s wrestling. Then, we move on to a huge tag team match. The beloved veteran Hiro Ryuu, “The Dragon of Osaka,” teams up with the ever-honorable King Neptune to face off against two of the most cunning and dangerous competitors in RSPW, Takeshi Kobayashi, “The Shadow Samurai,” and the menacing Hiroshi Takagi, “The Iron Fist.” The honor and integrity of the veterans against the cold, ruthless efficiency of their opponents.
Alex Mercer: This match is going to be a war, Hiro. And later in the night, we have a singles match that promises to be a spectacle. The fan favorite, Misaki, “The Crimson Flower,” steps into the ring with the determined and resilient “Osaka Ember,” Akari Tanaka. Both of these women are known for their high-flying, agile styles, and this one could very well steal the show.
Hiro Tanaka: And what a main event we have for you all tonight! It’s a true test of strength and will. The charismatic and resilient fan favorite, Yoshi Ono, “The Osaka Bull,” looks to stand up to the arrogance and raw power of the “Lone Star,” Colt Thompson. This is a classic clash between good and evil, with Thompson looking to dominate the heart of Osaka itself.
Alex Mercer: This is more than just a match; it’s a statement. Thompson has been merciless in his rise to prominence here in Japan, and Yoshi Ono represents everything the people here stand for. Who will come out on top? The ruthless Lone Star or the beloved Osaka Bull?
Hiro Tanaka: We are about to find out! The first match is about to begin!
Single Match
Sho Imai Jr vs. Daiki Yutaka
The arena lights shift to a bright, vibrant blue as the opening notes of “Honorable Pursuit” by Tokyo Thunder fill the Samurai Summit Arena. A mix of respect and polite applause greets Daiki Yutaka as he makes his way down the ramp, his demeanor stoic and determined. He is focused and disciplined, a “Rising Sun Warrior”. Daiki enters the ring, bows to all four corners, and stands ready, a picture of calm intensity.
Hiro Tanaka: The first competitor for our opening match, Daiki Yutaka, a man who has blended his strong-style roots from Tokyo with the influences of British wrestling. He is a stoic and focused warrior, indeed.
Alex Mercer: He’s all about a strong work ethic, Hiro. There’s no wasted motion with Daiki Yutaka. He represents his Japanese heritage with honor.
The crowd’s energy rises as a new track, “Kaze no Senshi” by SiM, blares through the arena. The “Shogun of Speed,” Sho Imai Jr., bursts onto the ramp, a flash of red and black ring gear with Japanese kanji motifs. He high-fives fans on his way to the ring, his youthful intensity and humble nature on full display. He slides into the ring, bouncing on his feet, full of energy.
Hiro Tanaka: And here is his opponent, the son of a legend, Sho Imai Jr.! A second-generation wrestler who has forged his own path, making a name for himself with his high-flying arsenal.
Alex Mercer: The fans love him. They connect with his never-say-die attitude and his passion for the sport. This is a guy who combines the best of puroresu with a global influence. This is innovation right here.
The referee signals for the bell, and the match begins. Daiki Yutaka immediately tries to slow the pace, locking up with Sho Imai Jr. in a powerful collar-and-elbow tie-up. Sho uses his speed, twisting out of the lock and attempting a quick arm drag. Daiki, however, uses his strength, blocking the move and driving a hard shoulder tackle into Sho’s chest.
Hiro Tanaka: A show of strength from Daiki Yutaka, right out of the gate! He’s trying to ground the Shogun of Speed.
Alex Mercer: Smart move. You can’t out-fly Sho Imai Jr. You have to use your power to keep him on the mat.
Daiki follows up with a series of stiff chops, each one echoing through the arena. Sho fires back with a flurry of quick, agile strikes, using a combination of his puroresu and strong-style agility. He tries to get airborne with a springboard, but Daiki is a step ahead, catching him mid-air and executing a powerful Northern Lights suplex. Daiki holds the bridge, but Sho kicks out at two.
Hiro Tanaka: A beautiful suplex by Daiki, showing off that blend of agility and traditional Japanese wrestling techniques. But Sho Imai Jr. kicks out, just like that.
Alex Mercer: You can’t keep him down easily, Hiro. Sho has a never-quit attitude.
Daiki Yutaka takes control, wearing down Sho with methodical strikes and holds. He attempts a Bushido Strike, a precise kick to Sho’s head, but Sho ducks under it and delivers a swift running shotgun dropkick that sends Daiki reeling into the corner. Sho climbs the ropes, but Daiki recovers, shoves the referee, and pushes Sho off the top turnbuckle! The referee, enraged, calls for the bell.
Hiro Tanaka: What is this?! The referee has called for the disqualification! Daiki Yutaka has been disqualified!
Alex Mercer: What a cheap shot! I can’t believe it! The match is over!
The referee raises Sho Imai Jr.’s hand, awarding him the victory via disqualification. Daiki Yutaka stands in the center of the ring, a cold, unfeeling expression on his face. He refuses to acknowledge the referee or the crowd, his stoic demeanor completely intact. He simply turns and walks away, having made his statement. Sho Imai Jr., victorious but frustrated, gestures to the fans, who are now loudly chanting his name. He shows respect to the crowd, even in this controversial outcome. The cameras zoom in on Daiki Yutaka, walking up the ramp without a backward glance, leaving the fans and the commentators in stunned silence.
Hiro Tanaka: Sho Imai Jr. wins, but this is not the way he wanted it to end. A win for the Shogun of Speed, but a message sent by the Rising Sun Warrior.
Alex Mercer: This isn’t over. Not by a long shot.
Ringside
The arena is still buzzing, a mix of cheers for Sho Imai Jr. and jeers for the way the match ended. Sho stands in the center of the ring, his hand raised in victory, acknowledging the fans with a grateful bow. He looks around, a slight look of frustration on his face, but he quickly shakes it off and soaks in the applause.
Hiro Tanaka: Sho Imai Jr. may have won the match, but he knows a disqualification isn’t how you want to start your night. Still, a win is a win, and the crowd is showing their respect for the “Shogun of Speed.”
Alex Mercer: He has every right to celebrate, but he also has to be on his guard. Daiki Yutaka’s actions show that things can turn sour in an instant here in RSPW.
Suddenly, the arena lights go dark, and the low, intense chords of a J-rock/metal track with distorted guitars blare through the speakers. Crimson lights flash, and a cold, intimidating figure walks onto the ramp, slowly removing a mask-like scarf from his face to reveal a steely glare. It’s the Junior Heavyweight Champion, Katsuhiro Kaneda”
Hiro Tanaka: Oh my God, it’s the Junior Heavyweight Champion! Katsuhiro Kaneda! What is he doing out here?!
Alex Mercer: What is he ever doing, Hiro? He’s out here to humiliate a fan favorite and assert his dominance. This guy is a cerebral predator, a man who believes his technical skill makes him untouchable. He despises wrestlers with “flair over substance”. Sho Imai Jr. better watch his back.
Kaneda, with a cold, intimidating demeanor, slowly walks to the ring, his eyes locked on the celebrating Sho Imai Jr. Sho finally turns, his expression changing from gratitude to one of fierce readiness. Kaneda slips into the ring, and without hesitation, rushes toward Sho Imai Jr. Sho is on the defense, firing off quick kicks, but Kaneda, with ruthless efficiency, ducks under a kick and delivers a brutal Crimson Cutter, a running knee strike, to the side of Sho’s head.
Sho collapses to the mat, holding his head. Kaneda stands over him, looking down with a mix of disdain and superiority. He hooks Sho’s leg and pulls him to the center of the ring, applying the Osaka Clutch, a tight arm-trap submission that targets the shoulder and neck simultaneously. Sho screams in pain, his body contorting as he tries to break the hold.
Hiro Tanaka: This is vicious! Kaneda isn’t letting up! He’s trying to dismantle Sho Imai Jr. after a grueling match!
Alex Mercer: He thrives on psychological manipulation and on humiliating his opponents. He’s not here for a match; he’s here to make a statement. Kaneda is a cold, calculating, and arrogant heel. Look at him, he’s not even smiling.
Kaneda leans in close to Sho’s ear, whispering something to him, his expression one of utter cruelty. The referee tries to get him to release the hold, but Kaneda ignores him, tightening the submission. Finally, two referees rush the ring, forcing Kaneda to release the hold. The champion smirks, slowly getting to his feet and walking to the turnbuckle. He picks up his Junior Heavyweight Championship belt, raising it high above his head with a cold glare.
Hiro Tanaka: Katsuhiro Kaneda, the Junior Heavyweight Champion, has made his intentions known. He is the most feared junior heavyweight in this company.
Alex Mercer: If you want a shot at the champion, you have to be ready to get your soul crushed, and that’s exactly what just happened to Sho Imai Jr. Kaneda is just getting started.
Backstage
(The scene opens backstage, in a dimly lit hallway. The camera follows Mei Nakamura as she walks with a calm, determined stride. She approaches a door with “KAZUKI” written in bold kanji. She knocks twice and enters.)
Mei Nakamura: Kazuki, do you have a moment?
(The camera cuts to Kazuki “Steel Samurai” Nakamura, who is in his vibrant ring gear, a sleek, modern blend of martial arts and theatricality. He’s stretching, a towel around his neck, a look of focused intensity on his face. He turns and offers a warm smile to his sister.)
Kazuki Nakamura: Mei! Of course, for you, I always have time.
Mei Nakamura: (Smiling faintly) Thank you. I wanted to talk about something. Rising Sun Pro Wrestling is starting a new tag team division. I was thinking… with your high-flying offense and my technical prowess, we could be a great team. The Osaka Cyclone and the Steel Samurai together. We could be unstoppable. We could honor our hometown of Osaka and become the first RSPW Tag Team Champions.
(Kazuki looks at her, his smile softening into a more serious expression. He walks over to her, putting a hand on her shoulder.)
Kazuki Nakamura: Mei, my dearest sister, you know I will always have your back. There is nothing I would not do for you. But right now, my focus is on the singles division. I want to become a champion in my own right, to prove that I am a force to be reckoned with on my own. I have to see this through.
Mei Nakamura: I understand. I just… I thought we could do something great together.
Kazuki Nakamura: We will. One day. I promise you that. But for now, let’s both focus on our individual paths. My path is about entertaining the crowd and winning a singles title. And your path… is to become a tranquil tempest that commands respect.
(He gives her a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder. Mei nods slowly, a look of understanding on her face, and then embraces her brother.)
Mei Nakamura: Thank you, brother. I’ll see you out there.
Kazuki Nakamura: You’ll do great. Now go show them the power of the Osaka Cyclone.
(Mei leaves the room, a new sense of purpose in her stride. The camera lingers on Kazuki for a moment as he returns to his stretching, his face a mix of determination and sibling love. He knows what he wants, but he also knows he’s left a door open for the future.)
Single Match
Reina Kuroi vs. Mei Nakamura
The atmosphere in the arena shifts from vibrant excitement to an eerie stillness as the first notes of “Thorns and Petals” by VAMPS echo through the Samurai Summit Arena. The lights dim to a moody red and black. Reina Kuroi, “The Black Dahlia,” makes her entrance. She walks with a cold, measured elegance, her jet-black hair and gothic-inspired gear standing out in the sinister lighting. She doesn’t pander to the crowd, earning boos mixed with reluctant respect.
Hiro Tanaka: The cunning and ruthless “Black Dahlia,” Reina Kuroi, makes her way to the ring. She is a member of the dangerous stable, The Crimson Lotus.
Alex Mercer: You can see her loyalty right there, Hiro. The crimson lotus emblem across her chest. She’s a cerebral, technical submission specialist with a sadistic streak. She dissects her opponents methodically.
The crowd’s reaction is the complete opposite for Reina’s opponent. A calm, tranquil symphony fills the arena, and Mei Nakamura, “The Tranquil Tempest,” makes her way to the ring, exuding a serene confidence. The fans watch in hushed anticipation, respecting her mastery and calculated demeanor.
Hiro Tanaka: And here is Mei Nakamura, a truly masterful technician. She is a woman who thrives on strategy and precision.
Alex Mercer: This is going to be a chess match. You have two of the most technically gifted wrestlers on the roster in there, and they’re both going to be looking for that one single opening to get the win.
The bell rings, and the two women circle each other. Mei Nakamura makes the first move, attempting a quick leg sweep, but Reina Kuroi anticipates it, grabbing her leg and attempting to transition into a hold. Mei twists out of it, and they engage in a rapid exchange of reversals and counters. Reina focuses on Mei’s arm, trying to isolate it for an armbar. Mei’s strategic mind, however, keeps her one step ahead, and she slips out of every attempt, using her technical prowess. Mei lands a series of quick, targeted strikes, a testament to her striking precision. Reina looks frustrated for the first time, a flicker of emotion on her face.
Hiro Tanaka: I think Mei Nakamura has gotten into Reina Kuroi’s head. Reina is used to having psychological and physical control in the ring.
Alex Mercer: Mei is so composed. She doesn’t give a thing away. She is using her strategic mind to counter everything Reina throws at her.
The match continues with both women trading holds and counters. Mei catches Reina with a swift, sweeping kick to her legs, disrupting her balance. As Reina stumbles, Mei quickly follows up, attempting to apply a submission, but from out of nowhere, a flash of red hair appears on the apron! It’s Jupiter James, “The Scarlet Viper”!
Hiro Tanaka: Look out! That’s Jupiter James! She’s a stablemate of Reina Kuroi. This is exactly what I was worried about!
Alex Mercer: The American Menace is here to cause trouble! She’s here to make sure her Crimson Lotus ally gets the win. She’s a cunning and unapologetically arrogant heel!
Jupiter James distracts the referee, allowing Reina Kuroi to take advantage of the situation. Reina rakes Mei’s eyes and then delivers a vicious basement dropkick to the back of her head. Mei drops to her knees, dazed. Reina immediately follows up, locking in her finisher, the Black Dahlia Clutch, a bridging leg-trap crossface. Mei has nowhere to go, no way to escape, and is forced to tap out.
The bell rings as Jupiter James hops off the apron, smirking as she watches her stablemate celebrate her tainted victory. The crowd erupts in a chorus of boos. Reina Kuroi stands over a defeated Mei Nakamura, a cold and eerie confidence on her face. She refuses to release the submission even after the bell, forcing the referee to pry her off. Jupiter James slides into the ring and raises Reina’s hand in victory, both women reveling in the crowd’s hatred.
Hiro Tanaka: What a disgusting display of sportsmanship. Reina Kuroi and Jupiter James working together to take down Mei Nakamura.
Alex Mercer: You reap what you sow, Hiro. This is what you get when you bring in international talent. The fans may not like it, but The Crimson Lotus got the win, and that’s all that matters to them.
Backstage
(The camera opens on a backstage interview area, where the interviewer, Rei Yoshida, stands with King Neptune. King Neptune is well-respected in the wrestling community. He always puts on a show. He is confident but also very humble. He is dressed in his ring gear and seems to be in good spirits, smiling and waving to the camera.)
Rei Yoshida: Thank you for joining me, King Neptune. You’re heading into a massive tag team match tonight, teaming with the esteemed Hiro Ryuu to face Takeshi Kobayashi and Hiroshi Takagi. How are you feeling about the challenge?
King Neptune: Rei, it is an honor to stand beside a veteran like Hiro Ryuu. He is a true “Dragon of Osaka”, and to face two of the most dangerous men in RSPW, it is a test of our spirit and our heart. Hiro Ryuu and I share a bond of honor, and tonight, we will show that integrity and respect will always overcome cold, calculating evil.
(Before King Neptune can continue, a voice cuts him off from just off-screen. The camera pans to reveal the grizzled veteran Isamu Kurogami, “The Iron Samurai”, slowly walking toward the interview area. He exudes an air of mystery and danger, preferring to let his actions speak louder than words. He stops a few feet away, his arms crossed, a look of contempt on his face.)
Isamu Kurogami: (Speaking slowly, his voice a low rumble) What is this? A fish out of water? You talk of “honor” and “spirit,” but all I see is a coward who needs to hide behind a friend. You are nothing but a joke, Neptune. You cannot win on your own, so you must use a respected veteran like Hiro Ryuu to pad your record.
(King Neptune’s smile vanishes. He takes a step toward Kurogami, his expression serious. Rei Yoshida backs away slightly, giving the two men space.)
King Neptune: My record is my own, Kurogami. My wins and losses are a testament to the battles I have fought. I am not hiding. I am fighting alongside a man I respect. Perhaps you are the one who is a coward for having nothing but mockery for others.
Isamu Kurogami: (He lets out a harsh, humorless laugh) Respect? Respect is earned in the ring, not given in some pathetic speech. You call yourself King Neptune, but you are just a minnow in a big sea. You will never be a champion on your own. You are a footnote, a small fish swimming in the shadow of a big wave.
(Kurogami leans in closer, his voice dropping to a near whisper.)
Isamu Kurogami: And what’s worse, Hiro Ryuu has to lower himself to your level just to have a decent match tonight. He is a veteran Vanguard, and you… you are a mistake.
(Kurogami turns and walks away, disappearing back down the hallway without another word. King Neptune stands there for a moment, his jaw clenched, a new fire in his eyes. He looks at Rei Yoshida, then back down the hallway where Kurogami disappeared. The segment ends with the camera focused on a determined, but clearly angered, King Neptune.)
Tag Team Match
King Neptune & Hiro Ryuu vs. Takeshi Kobayashi & Hiroshi Takagi
The haunting, slow instrumental of “Samurai Spirit” by Yasunori Mitsuda fills the arena as Isamu Kurogami’s earlier words hang in the air. Hiro Ryuu, “The Dragon of Osaka,” makes his entrance, jogging to the ring with a respectful wave to the crowd. The veteran Vanguard is a respected face, known for his integrity and heart. He is joined by his partner, King Neptune, whose theme song “Banzai Washout” by Dick Dale and his Del-Tones gets the crowd on its feet. Neptune, a heroic figure, takes great pride in his work and in doing right by the fans. The team of honor and respect is ready.
Hiro Tanaka: The beloved veteran, Hiro Ryuu, and the honorable King Neptune, together to face two of the most ruthless men in Rising Sun Pro Wrestling.
Alex Mercer: This is a fantastic team, Hiro. Hiro Ryuu is one of the most skilled, dependable veterans in the business. And King Neptune is a true professional who always gives 110% for the fans. But let’s not forget the disrespect shown to King Neptune by Isamu Kurogami earlier tonight. That’s got to be on his mind.
The energy shifts as a dark, atmospheric track with ominous synths signals the arrival of “The Shadow Samurai,” Takeshi Kobayashi. He walks slowly to the ring, shrouded in a hooded robe, and is joined by his partner, “The Iron Fist,” Hiroshi Takagi, who is accompanied by a minimalist, industrial-metal track. Both men exude a cold, methodical menace. The crowd unleashes a torrent of boos.
Hiro Tanaka: And here come their opponents, two of the most dangerous men in RSPW. Takeshi Kobayashi is a cunning, manipulative villain. And his partner, Hiroshi Takagi, is an almost robotic, hard-hitting brawler.
Alex Mercer: These two are all business. They are obsessed with dominance and crushing fan favorites. They see this as an opportunity to humiliate two of the most beloved wrestlers on the roster.
The bell rings, and the match begins with King Neptune and Takeshi Kobayashi. The two men lock up, but Kobayashi is a cerebral predator, using his intelligence and cunning to get the upper hand. He quickly isolates Neptune’s arm and applies a tight submission hold. King Neptune struggles, but he uses his Lucha Libre expertise to get out of the hold. He tags in Hiro Ryuu, and the crowd erupts.
Hiro Tanaka: A tag to the veteran Hiro Ryuu! The crowd is on its feet!
Alex Mercer: Here comes the veteran Vanguard! He’s going to use his experience to turn the tide.
Hiro Ryuu enters the match with a flurry of strikes, taking down Kobayashi. He attempts a Rising Dragon Suplex, but Kobayashi tags in Hiroshi Takagi. The two veterans square off, but Takagi is a different beast entirely. He is a hard-hitting brawler who uses brutal chops and strikes to wear down his opponents. He delivers a series of stiff chops, each one echoing through the arena. Hiro Ryuu, however, absorbs the punishment and fires back with a hard-hitting elbow strike. He tags in King Neptune.
Neptune comes in, full of fire, and hits Takagi with a running Liger Bomb. He goes for the pin, but Kobayashi runs in and breaks it up. All four men are now in the ring, and the chaos begins. Neptune and Ryuu take control, working together to get both their opponents down. Neptune gets Takagi in position for a
Kanazawa Killshot, his Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex finisher. As he’s setting up the move, he gestures to Hiro Ryuu to hit a Phoenix Strike on Kobayashi.
But there is a moment of miscommunication. Hiro Ryuu thinks Neptune is telling him to stand back for a big finisher. As Neptune goes for the suplex, Ryuu is in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Neptune inadvertently runs into him, sending both men to the canvas. Taking advantage of the miscommunication, Takeshi Kobayashi and Hiroshi Takagi rush over. Kobayashi hits Hiro Ryuu with a Kyoto Lock, a tight submission , while Takagi hits King Neptune with a Tokyo Crusher running knee strike. The two ruthlessly pin their opponents for the win.
Hiro Tanaka: What a horrible turn of events! A miscommunication between Neptune and Ryuu! Takagi and Kobayashi capitalize on the mistake, and they get the win!
Alex Mercer: This is a victory for cunning and strategy! And it’s exactly what Isamu Kurogami predicted. King Neptune and Hiro Ryuu, two of the most honorable men in this company, defeated not by brute force, but by a simple mistake. This is a brutal lesson in the squared circle.
Backstage
(The camera cuts to a sleek backstage office. The door is ajar, and inside, Hiroshi Fujimoto, the Rising Sun Pro Wrestling COO, is seated behind a minimalist desk, his attention on a tablet. He looks up as Jupiter James, “The Scarlet Viper,” with her fiery red hair and unapologetic confidence, enters the room. She’s flanked by her stablemates, Reina Kuroi and Akari Tanaka, both with impassive expressions.)
Hiroshi Fujimoto: Jupiter-san. To what do I owe the pleasure?
Jupiter James: (She takes a step forward, her tone direct and confident) I’m not here for pleasure, Fujimoto-san. I’m here for an update. My stable, The Crimson Lotus, is a force to be reckoned with. We have the technical dominance of Reina Kuroi and the raw fire of Akari Tanaka. We are ready to take over this promotion, but you’re not giving us the platform to do it.
(She gestures to her stablemates.)
Jupiter James: The new RSPW Tag Team Division. My question is, where is it?
(Hiroshi Fujimoto places his tablet down on the desk, a calm and collected expression on his face.)
Hiroshi Fujimoto: The tag team division is coming soon.
Jupiter James: “Soon” isn’t good enough. I need a date. We are the top talent in the women’s division, and we deserve the chance to dominate and prove our superiority. We are a team, not just individuals.
Hiroshi Fujimoto: I understand your frustration, but these things take time. We are working diligently to build this division properly, to ensure that it has the prestige and honor it deserves. It will be worth the wait.
Jupiter James: (She takes another step closer, her voice lowering with a hint of menace) Honor? Prestige? Don’t speak to me about things you don’t understand. We are about winning and dominating. We want to leave a legacy as the most feared stable in this company’s history. And that starts with gold around our waists.
(Hiroshi Fujimoto simply holds her gaze, his expression unchanging.)
Hiroshi Fujimoto: Soon, Jupiter-san. Be patient. The sun rises on all of us. When the time is right, The Crimson Lotus will have its chance to ascend.
(Jupiter James glares at the COO for a moment longer before turning and walking out of the office, her stablemates following close behind her. The segment ends with Hiroshi Fujimoto watching them leave, a faint, almost imperceptible smile on his face.)
Single Match
Misaki vs. Akari Tanaka
The crowd roars as the familiar strains of “Rising Flames” by Osaka Ember fill the arena. Akari Tanaka, “The Osaka Ember” , makes her way to the ring, her presence fiery and determined. She is a high-flyer with an energetic charisma that ignites the arena. She is a proud member of the Crimson Lotus stable and a symbol of resilience.
Hiro Tanaka: Here she is, “The Osaka Ember” Akari Tanaka. This woman is a high-flying talent with a background in martial arts. She’s got the whole arena fired up.
Alex Mercer: Akari is a phoenix, Hiro. She’s a determined and resilient competitor. She’s here tonight to prove that her brand of high-flying wrestling is a cut above the rest. And she’s got her stable leader, Jupiter James, watching her back.
The music shifts to a melodic rock track, “Sakura Slash” by Band-Maid. The crowd gives a standing ovation as Misaki, “The Crimson Flower,” makes her entrance. She is poised and composed, but fiercely competitive. She is a beloved fan favorite, known for her grace under pressure and her fighting spirit. Misaki bows before entering the ring, a show of respect for the art of puroresu.
Hiro Tanaka: And here is the beloved Misaki, “The Crimson Flower.” She is one of the most respected wrestlers in Japan. The fans absolutely love her.
Alex Mercer: She’s a hybrid of joshi puroresu and strong-style technical wrestling, a smooth chain wrestler who transitions into explosive strikes and aerial counters. Misaki is one of a kind. This is going to be a classic matchup between two of the best women in the company.
The bell rings, and the match begins. The two women exchange a series of quick, agile maneuvers, a blur of motion in the center of the ring. Akari uses her lucha libre-inspired style to try and get an early advantage , while Misaki uses her strong-style technical wrestling to keep Akari grounded. Akari lands a swift spinning roundhouse kick, the
Ember Kick, that sends Misaki reeling. She climbs to the top turnbuckle and executes a
Rising Wings Suplex, a bridging northern lights suplex. But Misaki kicks out at two.
Hiro Tanaka: My goodness, what a beautiful suplex by Akari Tanaka! But Misaki kicks out. The fighting spirit of the Crimson Flower is on full display.
Alex Mercer: This is a fantastic display of athleticism from both women. This is a match that could steal the show, and we’re only in the middle of it.
Akari continues her assault, but Misaki uses her experience to counter. She catches a kick from Akari and turns it into a devastating snap German suplex. Misaki, seeing her chance, climbs to the top turnbuckle. But from the crowd, a familiar face emerges: Jupiter James. The “Scarlet Viper” distracts the referee, allowing Reina Kuroi to hop the barrier and pull Akari Tanaka to safety.
Hiro Tanaka: The Crimson Lotus is at it again! Jupiter James is distracting the referee while Reina Kuroi interferes! This is not fair!
Alex Mercer: Akari Tanaka is a member of the Crimson Lotus, Hiro. They are a stable built on winning at any cost. You have to expect this.
Misaki, seeing what’s happening, takes a moment to compose herself. She glares at Jupiter James and Reina Kuroi. The two stablemates, now joined by a recovered Akari, taunt Misaki from the outside. Misaki knows she has to end this. She rushes to the ropes, uses her momentum to springboard into the air, and soars over the top rope, hitting all three members of the Crimson Lotus with a perfect slingshot dropkick. She gets back in the ring, and the referee starts the count. As the referee’s count reaches eight, Akari Tanaka crawls back into the ring.
Misaki goes for her finisher, the Crimson Bloom, a flying cross armbar transitioned from a springboard. Akari dodges it, but Misaki transitions into a double knees in the corner. Akari stumbles out of the corner and right into a fisherman’s neckbreaker from Misaki. Misaki then grabs Akari’s arm and locks in a submission, the Octopus Hold, a submission that can be locked in from nearly any angle. Akari has no choice but to submit.
The bell rings as Misaki refuses to let go of the hold, and the referee has to pull her off. Misaki looks up at the two members of the Crimson Lotus, who are still standing on the outside. She raises her hand in victory, and the crowd gives her a standing ovation. The segment ends with the Crimson Lotus glaring at Misaki, who is standing tall in the center of the ring.
Hiro Tanaka: What a win for Misaki! She overcame the interference from the Crimson Lotus and proved her dominance!
Alex Mercer: She got the win, but she also sent a message. Don’t mess with “The Crimson Flower.” This rivalry is far from over.
Backstage
(The camera cuts to the backstage interview area, where the interviewer, Rei Yoshida, stands with the towering Colt Thompson. Thompson, “The Lone Star,” is a calculating, ruthless heel who thrives on intimidation and dominance. He is dressed in his ring gear, a leather coat over his shoulders and a cowboy hat on his head.)
Rei Yoshida: Colt Thompson, you’re about to head out for tonight’s main event against one of the most beloved wrestlers on our roster, Yoshi Ono. How are you preparing for this monumental clash?
Colt Thompson: (He lets out a slow, sneering laugh, a mix of southern charm and cutting arrogance) You call this a monumental clash, Rei? This ain’t no clash. This is a public execution. You see, this company wants to put its little mascot, “The Osaka Bull,” in the main event. They want to show the world that this kind of wrestling—all heart and humility—can be a main event.
(He takes off his cowboy hat, looking directly into the camera with a cold glare.)
Colt Thompson: Well, I’m here to teach them a lesson. I’m going to show them that nice guys finish last. Yoshi Ono is a symbol of everything that’s wrong with this sport. All flash and no substance. He’s all smiles and humility, but in this ring, those things get you crushed.
(He puts his cowboy hat back on, a determined and ruthless look on his face.)
Colt Thompson: So, tonight, the “Lone Star” is going to teach that little bull a lesson. I’m going to show him what a true main eventer looks like. I’m going to show him what a true champion looks like. And by the time I’m done with him, the only thing the fans will be cheering for is my victory.
(He turns and walks away, a menacing gait, leaving Rei Yoshida and the viewers in silence.)
Main Event – Single Match
Colt Thompson vs. Yoshi Ono
The main event is finally here. The crowd at the Samurai Summit Arena is on its feet as the dramatic, drum-heavy track inspired by traditional sumo ceremonies begins to play. Yoshi Ono, “The Osaka Bull,” makes his way to the ring, stomping down the ramp with a humble but confident expression. He is a beloved fan favorite known for his combination of humility, charisma, and larger-than-life presence. He bows respectfully to the crowd, who cheer him on loudly.
Hiro Tanaka: The main event is upon us, and here is our hero, Yoshi Ono! A man who transitioned from the disciplined world of sumo into professional wrestling, bringing with him a style built on brute strength and explosive power.
Alex Mercer: He’s a natural crowd favorite. The fans adore him for his larger-than-life presence and his humble demeanor. He’s facing off against Colt Thompson, a man who has been ruthless in his pursuit of dominance.
A heavy southern rock track with the sound of galloping hooves and gunfire takes over the arena. Colt Thompson, “The Lone Star,” emerges from the back, dressed in his long leather coat and cowboy hat. He walks down the ramp with a mix of disdain and confidence, surveying the crowd with a sneer. He is a calculating, ruthless heel who thrives on intimidation and dominance.
Hiro Tanaka: And here is the antagonist, Colt Thompson. He is an arrogant, unapologetic heel who always plays by his own rules.
Alex Mercer: He’s a power-based brawler who uses his size and raw power to dominate matches. This is a classic clash of power versus power, but with a twist of humility versus arrogance. Thompson wants to prove that he is the most feared man in this company.
The bell rings, and the two heavyweights meet in the center of the ring. Yoshi Ono attempts to use his sumo-based offense, a series of shoves and powerful throws, but Colt Thompson stands his ground. He is a deceptively agile brawler for his size, and he meets Yoshi Ono with a powerful shoulder tackle. The two men collide, but neither gives an inch. They lock up again, and Yoshi Ono, using his sumo-derived balance, pushes Thompson back into the corner. He delivers a series of stiff palm strikes to Thompson’s chest.
Hiro Tanaka: A thunder palm strike from the “Osaka Bull!”. He is not backing down from Colt Thompson’s power.
Alex Mercer: Thompson is becoming annoyed. He is a man who thrives on psychological warfare, and Yoshi Ono is not giving him an inch. This is a battle of wills.
Colt Thompson breaks free from the corner and delivers a massive spinebuster, his signature Texas Slam. He goes for the pin, but Yoshi Ono kicks out at two. Thompson becomes more frustrated, and he starts to rely on his hard-hitting strikes and punishing slams. He lands a lariat from hell, but Yoshi Ono powers through it and delivers a Bull Rush, a running shoulder charge that knocks Thompson into the corner.
Yoshi Ono, now in control, goes for his finisher, the Osaka Slam. He hoists Thompson onto his shoulders, but Thompson, in a desperate attempt to break free, rakes Yoshi Ono’s eyes. The referee calls for the break, but Thompson ignores him, pushing the referee and then grabbing a steel chair from outside the ring. The crowd boos him loudly. Thompson smiles, a sadistic look on his face.
Hiro Tanaka: He’s not going to use that, is he? The referee is going to call for a disqualification!
Alex Mercer: He doesn’t care, Hiro! He’s so frustrated that he can’t defeat Yoshi Ono with his power alone that he’s resorting to this. He wants to hurt him, and he’s willing to get disqualified to do it!
Colt Thompson rushes back into the ring, steel chair in hand. The referee signals for the bell, and the crowd lets out a mix of cheers and boos. Yoshi Ono wins by disqualification. Colt Thompson, seeing that the match is over, throws the chair at the “Osaka Bull,” but Yoshi Ono dodges it. Thompson, however, delivers a vicious Outlaw Strike, a running knee to Yoshi Ono’s head. He stands over Yoshi Ono’s body, his face full of rage and frustration. The match ends with Colt Thompson standing tall, his arrogance and frustration on full display.
Hiro Tanaka: What an absolute disgrace! Colt Thompson gets himself disqualified because he could not defeat Yoshi Ono!
Alex Mercer: This is exactly what I was talking about, Hiro. Colt Thompson is here to dominate, and he couldn’t dominate Yoshi Ono. This rivalry is not over, and I have a feeling this is just the beginning.
Ringside
The lights in the arena are focused on the ring, where Ryujiro, “The Rising Storm” and the RSPW Heavyweight Champion, stands holding his title. He is a heroic, charismatic face who combines humility with unwavering confidence. The crowd is on its feet, a sea of passionate fans roaring with approval, with many chanting “Ryujiro! Ryujiro!”. He stands tall, a symbol of resilience and sportsmanship.
Hiro Tanaka: What a night of action! But the night isn’t over yet, as the RSPW Heavyweight Champion Ryujiro has something to say!
Alex Mercer: He’s been a top star here in Rising Sun Pro Wrestling for a long time, and he’s bridged the gap between the junior and heavyweight divisions. He has earned the respect of veterans and fans alike.
Ryujiro raises a hand, and the crowd’s roar subsides. He holds the microphone up to his mouth, his voice clear and filled with a determined passion.
Ryujiro: (Speaking in Japanese with English subtitles on the screen) Tokyo! Rising Sun Pro Wrestling! What a night we have had! We have seen the honor of King Neptune and Hiro Ryuu, the resilience of Misaki, and the heart of Yoshi Ono. Tonight, we have shown the world what Rising Sun Pro Wrestling is all about! We are about honor, integrity, and the very best professional wrestling on the planet.
(He raises his RSPW Heavyweight Championship high above his head, and the crowd roars with approval.)
Ryujiro: But tonight is just the beginning. I stand before you as your champion, but there is a challenge that awaits me. At the Project Violence Oblivion Pay-Per-View in Atlantic City, USA, I will face the IPWA International Heavyweight Champion, Masafumi Satake.
(The crowd begins to buzz, a wave of excitement washing over the Samurai Summit Arena.)
Ryujiro: Satake-san is a great champion. He is a symbol of his company. He believes that Project Violence is the best. But he is wrong. I will go to his country, to his arena, and I will defeat him. I will prove that my heart, my spirit, and the spirit of Rising Sun Pro Wrestling is stronger.
(He pounds his chest, his eyes burning with a fiery passion.)
Ryujiro: I will not just win for myself. I will win for every wrestler in that locker room. I will win for this company, a company steeped in tradition yet propelled by innovation. I will win for every single one of you who comes to our shows and supports us. I will show the world why Rising Sun Pro Wrestling is the best wrestling company on the planet. And when I return, I will bring home not one, but two championships!
(The crowd explodes in a deafening roar of approval, and the screen fades to black as the show comes to a close with Ryujiro standing triumphant in the ring.)
