Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted December 13, 2005 Foshi and I are gonna trade off on this, but I'll put it here. I'd like it very much to be the opener to the PPV. Rikjin Massamoto is the Japanese character I had come up with, the basic gist is that he's a HI-YAH import who is gaining fame in Japan, so Calvin wanted him on Climax to expose him to American audiences. "Evolution(The Grand Design)" by Symphony X begins blaring just as soon as the commentators are done introducing the nights lineup, and with the sound of that song comes the arrival of the returning superstar who is greeted with a hero's welcome from the fans in attendance! COLE It was just a few weeks ago that Foshi returned to action in the OAOAST after quite a long layover, and it was this past week that General Manager Calvin Szechstein offered him a spot on Climax, stating that he was flying in a superstar from the HI-YAH promotion who has received excellent reviews from industry insiders and his peers! CABOOSE Also, Coach, please refrain from the sushi jokes. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is your opening match, here at CLIMAX! Approaching the ring at this time, from KYOTO, JAPAN, weighing in tonight at two hundred, seventeen pounds, this issss FOSHI! Foshi walks down the aisle looking stoic, focused. He steps in the ring and looks around before standing by the ropes and posing, looking deep into the camera as a spotlight shines down on him. As he prepares for the contest, his music is cut, and then replaced with the song "Unholy" by the legendary rock group KISS. After several moments, a young Japanese man, well built and clad in black trunks with red "fire" on the sides and red kneepads and boots steps out onto the ramp, his dark hair hanging slightly over his eyes. BUFFER His opponent, from Tokyo, Japan, representing the HI-YAH promotion, he weighs in tonight at two hundred, thirty two pounds, this is RIKJIN MASSAMOTO! Massamoto throws an arm up as he's greeted with a warm welcome. He moves down the ramp and climbs up on the turnbuckles, throwing his arms outward before moonsaulting into the ring! He eyes Foshi, who doesn't look impressed upon the newcomers entrance, and instead gives him a look over as he thinks strategy to himself. As the two men stand across the ring from each other, the ring is suddenly showered with streamers, as fans toss them in respect for the debuting international star, as well as the well-traveled, returning rock star turned wrestler (or is it vice versa). Amidst the show of appreciation, Massamoto and Foshi continue to stare each other down and then come closer, circling the ring as referee Nick Patrick clears the ring of the streamers to get the opening match for Climax underway. CABOOSE Cole, Coachman, this is going to be a hell of a match, so I hope you boys are prepared to follow along closely. COLE I'm ready for sure, 'Boose, and...what the hell!? All of a sudden, a tuxedo clad MIKE TENAY, bowtie and all, hops the railing and comes over to Sofa Central. COLE Professor Mike Tenay!?!? What are you doing here? Tenay, off-mic, asks Cole to hang on a second, then motions for Coachman to hand over his headset. COACH What?! Aw hell no, this is MY payin' gig son, and... Tenay, not wasting any time, DECKS Coachman, knocking him out of his chair! CABOOSE God Bless You Mike Tenay. Tenay fumbles with the headset for a moment, then puts it on, and settles into Coachman's seat. TENAY Michael Cole, Caboose, gentlemen are we good to go for some strong style international action? CABOOSE You mean besides what we just saw out of you? The bell sounds, and Massamoto and Foshi approach each other, and once he's in range, Foshi is struck with a kick to the side of the leg. He flinches and backs off, but Massamoto closes in and connects with a second one, then grabs him in a collar and elbow tie up and brings him towards center ring, taking him over with a side headlock takedown. Massamoto holds Foshi down on the canvas, but the internationally known rock n' wrestling sensation scissors his legs around Rikjin's head, and takes him off. Massamoto comes to his feet and grabs a side headlock on Foshi, but then gets pushed to the ropes, and when he rebounds Foshi swings fast and hard, cracking him across the chest with a knife edge chop! "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" TENAY These fans can Whoo! all they want, but there are no flabby, wrinkled men living off past glory in this match. This is going to be as stiff as you're going to get! Massamoto absorbs the chop, then watches as Foshi hits the ropes . Foshi ducks a back elbow attempt and leaps to the middle rope, twising his body so that he's facing Massamoto and connects with a bodypress...but the Japanese import catches Foshi and puts him on his feet, then DRILLS him with a hard chop to the chest! Foshi covers up, tucking his arms in to block...so Massamoto delivers a roundhouse kick to the right arm to get him to let up, then takes the arm and wrenches it! CABOOSE Nice move by the HI-YAH sensation! Foshi winces, but after staying trapped for a few moments, he counters by taking Massamoto's arm and wrenching it. Rikjin paces the ring, with Foshi keeping the arm locked tight, but when they near the ropes Massamoto jumps up and lands with both legs on the top rope, using the spring action to float backwards to his feet, breaking the hold! He picks Foshi up and scoop slams him, then comes off the ropes with a well-placed kneedrop to the chest...or at least it WOULD have been well-placed if it connected...but it doesn't! Foshi rolled out of the way, and as Massamoto reels, the rock star cradles him in an Oklahoma Roll! ONE! TWO! NO! Massamoto gets a shoulder up, and escapes defeat. Foshi stands up and blasts him with a knee to the side of the face, then lifts him up for a scoop slam, but Massamoto falls behind and grabs a waistlock. He hurls Foshi up and over, but Foshi lands on his feet, and then dives for the legs, taking Rikjin to the mat! Foshi tries to tie up the legs of the visiting superstar, but Massamoto rolls onto his back and kicks Foshi away, then moves to his feet, catching the approaching rock superstar with a scoop slam! Rikjin then pulls Foshi up and delivers a roundhouse kick to the small of the back, which staggers Foshi, enabling Massamoto to trap him in a full nelson! Foshi squirms, and manages to break free. He spins around so that he's face to face with his opponent and locks up with him, pushing him back towards the ropes. Patrick hurries over and calls for the break, and Foshi breaks right away, allowing Rikjin to come off the ropes. Massamoto comes forward and delivers a quick kick to the stomach, then grabs a facelock, but Foshi pushes him away and hits a drop toehold, then gets to his feet and delivers a quick elbow to the back of Massamoto's head! COLE Nice back and forth exchange between the returning and the debuting superstars! Massamoto comes up holding his head, and as he looks up, Foshi hits the ropes and leaps onto his shoulders, snapping him over with a huracanrana! Massamoto rolls out to the apron and pulls himself up, but Foshi delivers a shoulderblock to his midsection and pulls him through the opening between the ropes, then hits the near side and delivers a running knee to the side of Rikjin's head! Foshi then pulls him into the ring and quickly yanks him into the air for a powerbomb, planting Massamoto hard on the canvas and pinning his legs into his chest to keep him on the canvas! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! TENAY Excellent move by Foshi, capitalizing on Massamoto's dazed state and managing to strike with that devestating powerbomb! COLE As devestating as it was, Professor, Massamoto still managed to kick out! Foshi pulls his resilient rival up from the canvas and sends him into the corner, then races towards him from mid-ring and crushes him with a corner clothesline! Rikjin slouches against the ropes, while Foshi moves back to the center of the ring, giving himself room to sprint towards the corner again, this time leaping up and driving both knees into the chest of Rikjin Massamoto! The superstar from the Far East slouches again, but he's pulled up by Foshi, who rests him on the top rope in a seated position. CABOOSE Foshi doesn't look like he's lost a step at all since his last OAOAST run. COLE Well, I'm sure he gets plenty of workouts, what with all the rock groupies and all. CABOOSE Cole, you start turning into Coachman, and we're gonna have words that are unsuitable even for THIS broadcast. COLE Like perpendicular? CABOOSE What? COLE I don't know. TENAY You know, I can stay out here all night if you'd like, you guys might need it. CABOOSE Oh no worries Mike, this is a fairly normal night so far for us. Massamoto sits on the ropes, and Foshi climbs up, trying to pull his opponent off with a superplex, but Rikjin reaches down and grips the top rope, anchoring himself on the top and stopping himself from going over! He pushes Foshi off, but Foshi lands on his feet and runs towards the corner...right into a boot from Massamoto, who then stands himself up on the top rope, and comes off with a tomahawk chop, catching Foshi right between the eyes! TENAY Version of the tomahawk chop that Massamoto calls the Lightning Slice! CABOOSE Lightning Slice? Sounds like a pizza joint on the corner of 1st and 3rd! COLE Yeah, you know I think I've eaten at that joint. CABOOSE Tenay, is that true? Did he really eat at that place? TENAY I don't know if it even IS a real place! CABOOSE Folks at home, you've just witnessed history...there is something Mike Tenay does NOT know about an individual in the wrestling world! Massamoto lets out a yell, then raises his right arm, and as Foshi comes back to his feet, Massamoto races across the ring and blasts him across the back of the head with a hard lariat, sending Foshi down to the mat face first! TENAY Northern Lariat from the Far Easterner... CABOOSE Wait, I need a compass to grasp that one. Massamoto covers, and nods his head with every hit of the mat by Patrick. ONE! TW-KICKOUT! Foshi throws his shoulder up, so Massamoto brings him to his feet, then lifts him up and holds him, running him backfirst into the corner, then turning with Foshi still in his arms and racing across the ring to the opposite corner, smashing him into that one as well! Massamoto then carries him back to the center of the ring, and showing amazing power, presses Foshi above his head before letting him fall, down onto both of his knees with a thunderous gutbuster! TENAY The Stampede Blaster! That's not the Oklahoma Stampede made famous by Dr. Death Steve Williams, oh no. It's a new and improved version ending with a double knee gutbuster drop that has Foshi favoring the ribs! Massamoto takes the ball of humanity known as Foshi and rolls him onto his back, pinning him to the canvas again, and the crowd is warming up to the newcomer, counting along as Patrick counts Foshi down! ONE! TWO! KICKOUT! COLE WOW! Foshi survived the Stampede Blaster! TENAY Survival is one thing, but it's definitely taken some time off his endurance! Massamoto is shocked that Foshi didn't stay down for the three, but after surveying the damage, he brings Foshi up to his feet. Seeing that Foshi can barely stand on his own, Massamoto grabs him by the head, hooking an inverted facelock and standing with Foshi trapped while making the cutthroat symbol with his free hand. TENAY Looks like Massamoto is signalling for the Dragon's Breath, an inverted brainbuster that has won him many a match in the HI-YAH promotion! Massamoto tugs on Foshi's waistband to lift, but before he can bring Foshi upside down, the quick thinking rocker swings his body to the side, pulling Massamoto up onto his shoulders...and falls to his side, cracking Rikjin's head against the canvas with a surprise Death Valley Driver that rattles the man from an ocean away! COLE What a counter! Professor, has anyone ever countered the Dragon's Breath before? TENAY Why, no, no they haven't! The crowd roars in its approval of the hard hitting contest, as both superstars lay weary on the canvas. As Nick Patrick counts them both down, the fans begin to stomp and clap, not rallying for anyone in particular, as they just want to see the brutality continue! CABOOSE The crowd is electric right now, and they seem to be quite impressed with Mr. Massamoto. Patrick continues the count, but it's by the count of 7 both men are up and staggering, and begin trading chops with each other, each one followed up by one that is louder and even more cringe worthy! Massamoto then tries to strike with a ROARING ELBOW~!, but Foshi ducks it and hooks the arm, then grabs the waist and tosses Massamoto over on his head with a release Half Nelson Suplex! COLE There's a neckbrace waiting for him backstage, right? Foshi immediately goes to pull Massamoto up, but as he sets up for the brainbuster, Massamoto pushes him away, then delivers a kick to the stomach. He readies Foshi in a standing headscissors and lifts for a powerbomb, but the man from Kyoto falls to his feet, pulling Massamoto's head down with him, and then lifts him into the air before dropping him head first on the canvas! COLE BRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAINBUSTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! Foshi covers quickly and hooks the leg after hitting his trademark move, and Nick Patrick dives to the mat and count Rikjin's shoulders down. ONE! TWO! THREE! DING! DING! DING! As soon as the bell is rung, Symphony X is cued, and Nick Patrick helps Foshi to his feet, raising his arm in victory, as the crowd comes to their feet and claps, applauding not only the returning superstar, but the debuting one as well. BUFFER Ladies and gentlemen your winner...FOSHI! Foshi circles his fallen foe, then reaches down and helps him up. Massamoto nearly falls back, holding his head in pain. Patrick comes over to break it up, but Foshi doesn't attack, but rather extends his hand, offering respect to the newcomer. TENAY Excellent show of sportsmanship right there! Good job guys, you've done well tonight! Foshi shakes Massamoto's hand and then exits, leaving the import to stand holding his head. Patrick tends to him, but Massamoto waves him off, stating he'll be OK. Rikjin turns to each side of the ring and bows, thanking the fans in his own way, as they continue clapping for him, before finally exiting the ring. COLE What a way to kick off Climax, and we've got plenty more in store for you all tonight. Professor Mike Tenay, we thank you for joining us for that contest, and come back and see us real soon! TENAY Believe me, you guys need all the help you can get in the booth. I just might. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tony149 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2005 Foshi and I are gonna trade off on this, but I'll put it here. I'd like it very much to be the opener to the PPV. I've just now noticed this. I already designated the opener for Patty. If you two wanna switch openers let me know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted December 16, 2005 Eh, it doesn't matter, I just figured opening with this would be similar to TNA opening with Samoa Joe vs. Jushin Liger at Bound For Glory. Just make sure to fill-in Coach's recovery from Tenay's haymaker in the following segment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patty O'Green 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2005 Give the opener to foshi/rikjin. My match didn't turn out to be the fast paced spot fest full of sick but no-sold head drops and goofy taunting that I had planned.
