The WWL Program: Week 41

    Streams of pink and red-colored explosions lined up in a row, reaching as high as possible to reach the top of the arena's ceiling. In an unusual taste, even the ring was altered. Now, it had red and pink ropes, and at the announcer's table, Jim Wolfe and Mona Alvarez sat with one another.

    "Once again, Jim Wolfe and Mona Alvarez at ringside, and we're here to give you your weekly fix of WWL action!" The man picked up some of his notes. "Alright, now as some of you know, Valentine's Day is humming around the corner. I already know who I'll spend t with. How about you, Mona?"

    Mona quickly said, "Even I don't know. But no one here wants to hear you talk about that stuff. Going back to last week, at New Road, we saw a couple big things happen. First, we saw a shake up in Team F.R. So far, I can easily see a break-up. Next, the sister vs. sister match. Misako won that one, but we don't know what she said to her sister, and that has been on a few fans' minds. After that, the rest of the KRU started to experience the wrath of the Saranza Empire, and at last, in an epic match for the True Age WWL Championship, Harry MacGregor came away with it."

    "I had gotten a few notices from the Chairman, and so far, we're to see a host of new stars today. I'm partially excited, but at the same time, I want to see what MacGregor will do now, especially since he's become Champion."
-------------------
Match 1: Ryo vs. ?????
-------------------

    The buffed up martial artist stood in his corner, flexing his arms a bit. It didn't have to be said, but he was clearly ready for the match. However, the arena took on a red scheme, and images of crimson clouds took over the ceiling. Then, all of a sudden, a heavy stream of pyro erupted and from the bright red light came a masked star, garbed in red and black tights with flame designs. He was completely covered up in a suit, save for his eyes. 

    As they never saw this particular man before, the crowd grew silent. However, they mystery man continued his walk forward. Once he finally got in, he stared at Ryo and immediately charged toward him.

    "Wait a minute! What's he doing?! The bell didn't ring yet!" Jim cried out.

    Wisely, the referee got out of the way, but the mysterious masked man tackled Ryo and sent him to the ground. Ryo recovered, but the man was upon him with several punches before he got off.

    "How in the world did this happen?" Jim asked, "No one invited him!"

    "Actually," Mona corrected, " The Chairman did. Yesterday, he sent us an image of the man already. His name is Mr. Blaze."

    "Mr. Blaze?? He looks like a freak!"

    "What's there to be scared of?"

    Mr. Blaze gripped Ryo from the ground and then rose him up, following with a two-handed choke slam. After that, he dragged Ryo out to the center of the ring, and gripped his legs. Ryo saw this coming, and at the last second, twisted himself out of the hold.

    But that wasn't enough to save him. Mr. Blaze caught him turning his back and turned the opportunity into his next chance. He grabbed both Ryo's hands, and turned him around so that Ryo's face would be facing down, while looking toward Mr. Blaze's back.

    "Oh no--" Jim said quickly.

    When both men dropped, Ryo suffered an impaling impact and simply laid on the mat until Mr. Blaze turned him over. 

    "1! 2--"

    Ryo forced himself out, and then let loose with a flurry of kicks and punches. Even after leaving Mr. Blaze staggering after the last attack, Ryo attacked him with a huge open palm. Mr. Blaze was left staggering again, but he fell down like a demolished building.

    "What a take down, and with such speed! Ryo is here to win this!" 

    Ryo then hooked the leg and held for the pin.

    "1! 2--"

    Mr. Blaze escaped and found some breathing room. Ryo didn't approach, yet. He chose to stay put and wait for his opponent to slip up. What he didn't expect was that Mr. Blaze would charge again. But this time, Ryo's instinct saved him and forced his knee up to stop the juggernaut from running into him. From there, Ryo followed up with a massive elbow chop. Before long, it seemed like a second wing got into him and Ryo began striking witth lightning-fast jabs and chops. 

    The newcoming Mr. Blaze had no answer at all for this offense. Ever attack was just too fast and too strong.

    However, he found one last chance with Ryo's next attack. Once he had a small window of time, all Mr. Blaze had to do was grab him, and surely enough, he did. Then, he tossed him over, bridging into a pin.

    "1! 2! 3!"

    "This new guy just comes in and then he beats one of the established greats!" Jim exclaimed, almost in a fit of passion. "Nothing we haven't seen before, but this Mr. Blaze looks especially dangerous!"

    "I wouldn't worry about it too much," Mona said, "He just got here. I'm saying Mr. Blaze caught Ryo on a bad day."
---------------------
Match 2: Ramon Ramirez and Julio Zarzoga (Ramirez Crew) vs. Rufus and Phineas
---------------------

    The two Tag Team Champions, Ramon and Julio made their way to the ring, this time dressed a bit more casually. However, they didn't lose their flair and dramatically leaped into the ring, aching to get started. The duo had time to get their feet wet, and they had already shown that they resembled a legendary duo by now.

    Then, a large booming voice came in. From out of nowhere the main screen read, "Now presenting...The Greatest Duo Alive...Rufus and Phineas!"

    Just as the lights came on, a bald man and a buzz-haired man, both with almost cartoonish mustaches, came out, and posed a bit for the crowd. They even flexed before making their way to the ring.

    A heavy sigh came from Jim. Mona chuckled a little.

    "What's the matter? You've been watching entertainers a little longer than me, I think. You should be able to handle these two."

    "It's just...ugh...I was REALLY hoping they wouldn't show this year! They're so forgettable..."

    Once the match began, Ramon stepped in to start for his team, while Rufus, the larger one with buzz-hair, dashed in with a clear elbow attack. Ramon moved out of the way, reading the move too easily. But then, he found himself at a corner, and Rufus took advantage of his limited space, catching him in a rear chokehold.

    For a few seconds, Ramon was held helpless, but Rufus released him once they got to the center of the ring. After recovering, both men were back on their feet. Ramon caught the strongman by surprise and slipped him up with a sudden sweep kick. Rufus was then nailed with a huge springboard maneuver. Ramon was not even done yet. As soon as Rufus found his way up, Ramon kicked him down and then scrambled to trap his legs in a Celtic Knot.

    "So far, this almost looks like it would be a great singles match. However, this is a tag team match," Mona commented.

    "On another note, perhaps we should talk about Mr. Blaze some more. I've never seen the likes of him ever before. I mean, other than the aggression, but still--"

    "Don't you remember MacGregor? He's aggressive, and like Mr. Blaze, he was picked by the Chairman. Else, he wouldn't have been here tonight."

    "Yeah, but there's something uncanny about him--something that doesn't really fit this picture..."

    Just as they got comfortable with the discussion, Rufus managed to stiff his way through a huge sidekick, and rushed Ramon to his own corner, bouncing him off the turnbuckle. As he fell into Rufus's clutch, he was tossed in the air, and his face was pulled down. The lasting impact was heard throughout the arena, and from the immediate reaction to his face, Ramon was easily battered and had to think of guarding his head now.

    Rufus turned him around, and dragged him away from his. Then, he went for the pin.

    "1! 2--"

    From the air, Julio came in with an arrow-like dive kick. Phineas came in as well, but he was only a step slow. As a reward, he earned a quick Mamba Strike, sending the arena into a wild frenzy. After Phineas practically flipped about, Ramon ran across the ring, bounced off the ropes and then latched onto Rufus, spinning for in a quick motion and then slamming him down with a massive 720 DDT. 

    "That move would leave anyone dizzy!" Jim commented after the impact. Before Rufus knew it, he was laid out, as Ramon hooked his leg for the pin. Julio headed back to his corner.

    "1! 2! 3!"

    After earning the win, the two men chest bumped one another and then pumped their fists. However, two other men, garbed in purple and white walked up, slowly clapping and applauding their efforts.

    Jim let out a huge sigh. "Just perfect: the Clancy Brothers. What could they want with Ramon and Julio?!"

    Apollo, the larger of the two gestured around his torso, pantomiming the fact that he was wearing his own Championship. Mike pointed at them, and was clearly saying something that one would be enraged at. However, they were too far to be heard at all.

    "You think this could be the start of something big?" Jim asked quickly.

    "Maybe," Mona replied, "Maybe..."
---------------------
Restaurant
---------------------

    Bearing a semblance to the Cafeteria, this particular eating venue was a tad more upscale. Other than that, barely different in the slightest. However, of the people who ate there, most were the heaviest of WWL stars, like Denver James, Big Frog, Tina, Chinda, and of course, Clarissa. In one of the other tables, two heavy women sat with a few plates near them. One wore the KRU colors, but the other had pink and magenta.

    "So, what did you want to talk about?" The normally joyful one asked.

    "I've been thinking about something," the other replied.

    "Let me guess...more money to be made? I'm not interested! I'm just trying to have some fun here. I didn't even expect you to show up."

    "And I was going to leave you alone here, Hiroko? No big sister should do that." Misako took a bite of her chicken and rice combo, "But, that's not what I wanted to talk to you about. I couldn't tell you this in the ring last time, so I'm saying it now. We should be a tag team."

    Hiroko almost gasped, but a smile came on her face. "You mean it?"

    "I do. We can talk to Kobu about it, and see what he thinks. Otherwise, we'll strike out on our own." She looked back at her sister. "You know I love you, Hiroko."

    "I love you too, Misako."

    One of the disgruntled patrons saw the two hug each other. However, he chuckled a little. It was that time of year for loved ones anyhow.
------------------
Match 3: Harry MacGregor vs. El Violento
------------------

    The most violent of Luchadors, El Violento, gripped the ropes, in a very furious manner. He was clearly upset and had some degree of hatred for his opponent already. Such a man was clearly not to be trifled with. However, the Chairman's Pick, MacGregor, proved already that he was a beast of his own. Already becoming the Champion in such a short time was clearly unnerving to some. But, he had the belt on his waist for good reason. In fact, it's estimated that Ryan Outlaw, JC, and Thod may have all been put in intensive care after dealing with him.

    Once the bell rang, MacGregor rushed to El Violento, but the black-masked wrestler escaped at the last minute, and flipped behind him. The first attack was a cheap shot at the knee, and immediately it was an effective spot. Harry turned around, and then fell victim to a leg sweep. After getting up, and seeing a quick throat thrust, Harry headbutted El Violento not once, not twice, but three times. On the third, El Violento was staggering for a while, but MacGregor quickly sent a huge fist to knock him down. The loud impact was easily heard and from the sound of it, El Violento's face should have been unrecognizable.

    The masked luchador stumbled to his feet, but Harry dragged him up, and hoisted him over his shoulders. A fearful gasp came out of some patrons, but Harry tossed El Violento upward and then caught him with a sharp jumping knee attack. The victim keeled over, and almost bounced like a basketball.

    But the onslaught was only getting started. Harry picked up El Violento from his neck, and then planted a DDT on him. He even went so far as to repeat the move, but a bit higher--on the turnbuckle.

    The luchador quickly punched him off, and Harry fell to the mat. Having had enough of the attacks, El Violento landed a boot stomp on Harry's belly and then gestured for him to come up, following up with a massive Crucifix slam. But, Harry reversed it, and before the move even got started, Harry tossed him off, so that El Violento would land on his feet. Even before El Violento got adjusted to standing after that, Harry tackled him--full-on.

    "Ouch! MacGregor has already broken him!" Jim exclaimed, squirming a bit.

    "That looks like 120% more damage output than last month," Mona noted, "Harry must have been putting in more time at the gym."

    "Oh no...that's not good for the WWL. MacGregor's just ruthless! We'll need another man in this ring, just to make it fair!"

    Harry snatched up El Violento, electing not to pin him, and situationed him at a turnbuckle. Then, he sprinted, and tackled him as if to send him through the metal post. Thankfully the ring's post remained intact, but El Violento let out a horrified shriek, as the tackle connected. The scream he produced came from a man who's body was flattened to the highest order. He even stumbled out and collapsed, but Harry went for the pin. The referee was freaked out, but did his job.

    "1! 2! 3!"

    As the referee rose the victor's hand in the air, Jim quickly commented.

    "Oh, gosh...that was just complete destruction. He was just inhuman. Is the WWL safe from this man?!"

    "We can only guess that this wasn't even Harry's best," Mona suggested, "And that's very scary, when you think about it. That victim is going to the Emergency Room for sure."

    Harry picked up his belt and then headed on out, with people cheering him.
-----------------------------------
Match 4: Jamie and Molly (Plus Size Enterprise) w/ Michiko vs. Hiroko and Misako
-----------------------------------

    The two heavyset sisters (both with slightly larger bellies) were discussing something with one another. Their pink-haired manager sat by, in her new wheel-chair. In her hand was a clipboard, which oddly enough, matched her new finely-tuned glasses.

    On the other side, Misako and Hiroko, clearly both from different walks of life, but from the same family, were congruent on a few things. However, the referee had each one stand outside, as this was a Tornado match.

    The bell rang and then, Jamie and Molly went for the two sisters. None of the two were prepared and took a hefty body tackle, right from the start. However, both rose up and then took another lariat each. Each attack done, was in symmetry. Each one, though, seemed to look at the other, to approve a technique, before doing it.

    A Jamie shook her head, at Molly, Misako and Hiroko stumbled up, but Misako landed a cheap belly shot, and then forced her opponent onto the ground. Hiroko saw her confused opponent, and then stood up, issuing a huge ear slap to Molly.

    As the two were then on the ground, fate had been reversed. Michiko's words of encouragement were soon falling deaf, as both of her girls were constantly being sent to the mat. However, as luck would have it, Kobu and Yuzu came from out of nowhere.

    "W-wait! Who invited them?!" Jim questioned, as Yuzu quickly cleared off the table. "No! No! The table! Hey, you can't just--" He was quickly shoved, and then without warning, Yuzu wrapped her hands around Michiko, and threw the woman, at about 500 pounds, right onto the table. As soon as her sizable rear landed on it, the whole table broke apart, and Michiko let out a deep scream as her back was clearly bruised. 

    Jamie and Molly, overly concerned for her safety, made to leave the ring. The had their share of victory in the WWL years ago, so this was nothing. So they thought.

    Misako, knowing nothing about this, soon had her sister gaze at her disapprovingly. Now, things were falling apart in the ring, and the referee could barely keep up. However, Kobu crawled into the ring, and then kicked Hiroko down, onto her knees. In his hand was a chair, and he quickly brought it to Misako.

    "Do it! Now!" Kobu demanded, pointing violently at Hiroko.

    Misako looked back at Hiroko, her only sister, and then shook her head. She, instead, smacked Kobu with the chair at his but, then brought it over his back, sounding a huge impact. Kobu, of the KRU was asking her to even attack her own sister. But, on Michiko's end, things were not looking good at all. In addition, neither Jamie nor Molly were able to stand up to Yuzu. The three large women were downed, and all that remained was Hiroko and Misako. The referee threw out the match as a disqualification, and then pointed to Misako, assuming the KRU was her secret cheat.

    Despite talking to him about it, the victory was ruled in favor to Jamie and Molly. However, due to the attack Michiko just took, she was seriously out of it.

    The only remaining sisters in the ring decided to hug anyhow. Things had gotten out of control, and they truly only had each other now.

    "Once again, we see a sign that the KRU is dying. Misako was just essentially kicked out of the team, for assaulting her own leader! I'm absolutely sure he's thinking about that.," Jim said, "But this...this is a sign that sisterly love prevails over all. Stay tuned for more chaos next time!"
-----------------------------
Backstage
-----------------------------
    One of the strongest men in the WWL, garbed in red, walked past a black-haired man, in blue and white. The two immediately stopped.

    "Ah, Chakan?" The latter said, "How strongly do you feel about the Red Oxen this year? Because, I've got two secret weapons--"

    "Guess what, Aran? I've got my own guys, too. As we speak, they've already roped in about 34% of all WWL fans, and I've got a good squad of my own, too."

    "Oh...really?" Aran gritted his teeth. "34...how do...never mind. You're only just getting started anyhow. Don't hold your breath. Before you know it, the Blue Geckos will be running circles around you."

    The two men parted ways, seemingly in good spirits.
