Osaka, Japan - February 7, 2009

Pre-Show Results:
Roderick Strong d SHINGO
Randy Orton
d The Dragon Kid


[[ A view of the full arena in Osaka starts off the show. The fans anxiously await the beginning of the first edition of Glory in Japan! The fans are immediately given a reason to begin booing as "More, More, More" hits and out comes Larry Sweeney in his custom-made suit, crocodile skin boots, and bluetooth headset over his right ear. Followed behind him are Sara Del Rey and Chris Hero, both from Solid Gold Wrestling. Sweeney begins tossing business cards into the crowd before entering the ring and grabbing a microphone. ]]

Larry Sweeney: Osaka, Japan, let me ask you a question.. IS LARRY SWEENEY LOOKIN' GOOD TONIGHT OR WHAT?!

[[ This draws boos from the crowd as Sweeny looks on with a sour look on his face. You can tell he doesn't want to be here tonight at all. ]]

Larry Sweeney: Look at you people.. LOOK AT YOU SCUMBAGS! You don't deserve to witness Sweet N' Sour, Incorporated here tonight! You people don't deserve to see the first in-ring match of Sweet N' Sour International! I have assembled the GREATEST group of foreign talent in the history of foreign talent, baby! I'VE SIGNED THREE OF THE TOP WRESTLERS IN THE WORLD TO COME HERE TONIGHT AND FORM SWEET N' SOUR INTERNATIONAL!

[[ He hangs his sunglasses on his front pocket of his dress shirt. ]]

Larry Sweeney: I've signed up three bums to take on my men tonight in an exhibition. Their names? Irrelevant. Because at the end of this match, the only name that'll truly matter.. The only name that'll stick and stay in your numskull minds.. SWEET N' SOUR INTERNATIONAL!

[[ He continues as the Japanese fans are voicing their hatred for Larry Sweeney. ]]

Larry Sweeney: The three men I've signed.. I signed them from Pro-Wrestlin' NOAH! I STOLE YOUR TALENT, FOLKS! AND YOU'LL NEVER SEE 'EM AGAIN AFTER THIS MONTH! I'M TAKIN' 'EM TO AMERICA! I'M GONNA' FEED 'EM HOT DOGS! HAMBURGERS! AND DIET COKE! THEY'LL EAT LIKE KINGS! AHAHAHA! KINGS I SAY!

[[ Hero begins doing squat lunges with his hands locked behind his head for no apparent reason. ]]

Larry Sweeney: This is the greatest assembled group in the history of pro-wrestlin', daddy! You ham-n-eggers are in luck tonight! WITHOUT ANY MORE TIME BEIN' WASTED.. IT'S TIME TO SHOW MY NEWEST CLIENTELE! THESE MEN ARE THE FUTURE OF SWEET N' SOUR! FIRST OFF, GO SHIOZAKI!!!

[[ Go Shiozaki comes down the ring to a mixed reaction. The Japanese fans like Shiozaki, but yet, are torn about cheering for him since he's now associate with the devious Larry Sweeney. Shiozaki enters the ring and shakes hands with Sweeney and Hero. He bows to Del Rey as Sweeney is laughing like a hyena. ]]

Larry Sweeney: Next.. I've assembled the new greatest tag team in the world. They fought for thirty hours straight in a twenty-four team tournament. They defeated The British Bulldogs and the Legion of Doom in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match.. YOUR SWEET N' SOUR INTERNATIONAL TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS!!!!!! KENTA! MARUFUJI! SWEET N' SOUR, INTERNATIONAL IS THE BEST! AHAHAHAHA!!! THE POWER BELONGS TO LARRY SWEENEY! AIN'T NO DOUBT ABOUT IT! AHAHAHAHA!!!!!

[[ KENTA and Marufuji come down the ramp with their title belts wrapped around their waists. Sweeney is clapping and jumping in the air like a child on Christmas morning getting the toy he desperately wanted. They enter the ring as Ron Killings, Tommy Dreamer, and Adam Pearce come down to the ring together, preparing to go up against this new trio of competitors Larry Sweeney has signed and practically handed title belts to! ]]

Match One: Six-Man Tag
Ron Killings/Tommy Dreamer/Adam Pearce vs. KENTA/Naomichi Marufuji/Go Shiozaki

[[ Sweet N' Sour International was given a run for their money in the beginning due to their lack of teaming regularly. Killings' high flying, fast offense paired with Adam Pearce's veteran wit was enough to gain several near falls. Finally, SNS International began to get into a groove. Marufuji hit the Pole Shift for a two count, tagged in Go Shiozaki, who nearly broke Dreamer's neck with a Go Flasher! All six men are now in the ring as Killings rolls Marufuji up, one, two, NO! Almost three! KENTA grabs Killings and hoists him to his shoulders, GO TO SLEEP! One, two, three! Ron Killings had no chance to even think about kicking out of that one! Impressive victory for Sweet N Sour International's in ring debut! ]]

Winners: Sweet N' Sour International via Pin Fall

[[ After the match, Sweeney begins laughing into the microphone as he gets back into the ring with a big smile on his face. Chris Hero enters the ring slowly behind Sweeney, removing his International Championship. ]]

Larry Sweeney: HOW ABOUT THAT FOR DOMINANCE?! HUH?! LOOK AT THAT! LOOK AT SWEET N' SOUR, INTERNATIONAL! THE MOST ELITE COMBINATION OF FOREIGN TALENT EVER! AHAHAHA!

[[ Adam Pearce, Ron Killings, and Tommy Dreamer leave the ring and begin making their way to the back. ]]

Larry Sweeney: Chris Hero. This man is the SGW International Champion! THIS MAN IS THE MOST VALUABLE MAN IN SOLID GOLD! AND YOU KNOW WHAT!? HE AIN'T NEVER COMIN' BACK!

[[ Hero is in the corner, getting loose, looking as if he's in some sort of zone. ]]

Larry Sweeney: So I called around all the top Japanese promotions. I made a deal. I made a deal for Chris Hero to defend his International Championship, and a challenger stood up and wanted to fight! All you noodle-slurpin' bums! All you dog-eatin' disgustos! Right now, for your viewing pleasure.. Chris Hero will defend his title against a top contender in the country of Japan! HERE'S HIS OPPONENT!

[[ "Born to Be Wild" hits! Mick Foley?! Not even. Kikutaro comes strutting out, playing to the fans as they start clapping and cheering for the appearance of a comedic face here in Japan. After a few appearances in America, Larry Sweeney must have saw his numerous losses! He knew Kikutaro wouldn't be a tough opponent for his client, and "top talent" was simply a lie! Kikutaro has no chance! ]]

Match Two: SGW International Championship
Chris Hero vs. Kikutaro

[[ Kikutaro tries doing one of Hero's offbeat flips as the bell rings. He fails in his effort, terribly. Kikutaro gets to his feet and begins doing squat lunges, then catches a roaring elbow from Hero! KIKUTARO IS OUT! The referee counts to ten, Kikutaro lies there unconscious, flopping around the mat like a fish out of water. So much for the top talent Hero was supposed to face. ]]

Winner: Chris Hero via Knockout
STILL SGW INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION

[[ Sweeney didn't even leave the ring for the match it lasted that short of a time! Hero kicks Kikutaro's limp body out of the ring as Sweeney makes circles around the ring, ecstatic his clients are performing like they are. Larry Sweeney has truly hit the gold mine with his choice of competitors! ]]

Larry Sweeney: YES! YES! YES! NEWSFLASH! THIS JUST IN! CHRIS HERO KNOCKED OUT ONE OF JAPAN'S ELITE!

[[ The fans in attendance have no real response outside of some small booing. ]]

Larry Sweeney: Great job, Hero. Great job.

[[ Sweeney and Hero shake hands as Hero leaves the ring and Del Rey enters, handing her Women's title to Sweeney. ]]

Larry Sweeney: You want in, darlin'?

[[ She stares a hole through him. ]]

Larry Sweeney: Ahem.. You want in, Sara Del Rey.. Best women's wrestler in the world?

[[ She nods. ]]

Larry Sweeney: Sounds good to me.. IF THERE'S A WOMAN.. OR A SMALL MAN.. IN THE BACK WHO THINKS HE OR SHE CAN HANG WITH THE BEST WOMEN'S WRESTLER IN THE WORLD.. TONIGHT.. IS YOUR UNLUCKY NIGHT!

[[ Sweeney looks to all the fans in attendance. ]]

Larry Sweeney: I can't tell if you people have your eyes open or you're half asleep, you slant-eyed gookaroids! How 'bout it? Huh? How 'bout it, you disgustos! You chinks!

[[ All of a sudden, some music hits and Gail Kim comes out, furious at Sweeney's ethnic slurs. The fans cheer loudly for her as she enters the ring and grabs the microphone from Larry Sweeney's hand. ]]

Gail Kim: Larry Sweeney, how dare you insult these people?! These people are great fans.. And great people!

[[ The cheesy gesture draws applauds from Gail as a small "GAIL! GAIL!" chant starts. ]]

Gail Kim: People like you are scum, Larry Sweeney!

[[ Del Rey knocks Gail down from behind! Del Rey lets out a loud scream and begins ripping Gail to pieces as the referee calls for the bell to start the match. Larry Sweeney looks down at the hapless Gail, mocking her. ]]

Larry Sweeney: I'm scum? I'M SCUM?! Gail Kim.. Worthless WHORES like you don't even deserve to be in the ring with someone as dominant as SARA DEL REY! YOU ARE NOTHIN' BUT A BOTTOM-FEEDER IN THE WOMEN'S DIVISION! YOU WANNA' DEFEND THESE PEOPLE? HUH? YOU WANNA' BE A HERO?

[[ Sweeney watches on as Del Rey hits a sickening axe kick to Gail Kim's face. ]]

Larry Sweeney: Tonight, you DIE in front of these people! FINISH HER, SARA!

Match Three: SGW Women's Championship
Sara Del Rey vs. Gail Kim

[[ Del Rey scoops Gail's body off the ground and hits a fall away slam, picks her back up, GERMAN SUPLEX! Grabs Gail again, TIGER SUPLEX! STRAIGHT JACKET SUPLEX! ROYAL BUTTERFLY! She turns that into a power slam and covers. One, two, three! Sara Del Rey absolutely destroyed a helpless Gail Kim to defend her title!

Sweet N' Sour, Incorporated has been absolutely unstoppable tonight! This isn't a good sign for LoC or SGW for the future if this reign of dominance continues on! ]]

Winner: Sara Del Rey via Pin Fall
STILL SGW WOMEN'S CHAMPION


[[ Backstage in the catering area, we see John Cena seated at a table, drinking a bottle of water and eating a sandwich by his lonesome. Cena lays his sandwich down and begins drinking his bottle. The sandwich and the tray it's placed on go flying in the air. Bryan Danielson stands over Cena with a prickish smirk on his face. ]]

Bryan Danielson: Oops.

[[ Danielson shrugs. ]]

Bryan Danielson: Did I do that?

[[ Cena sighs and puts his water bottle down on the table and stands up, facing Danielson. ]]

John Cena: So this is how you wanna' do?

[[ No response. ]]

John Cena: This is how you wanna' handle things? Wanna' act like a child? Wanna' try to be a bully?

[[ Cena rubs his chin as Danielson looks on, amused at the situation. ]]

John Cena: If I didn't have other things to do, I'd wipe that grin off ya' face, son.

Bryan Danielson: I'd like to see you try.

John Cena: It wouldn't be hard.

Bryan Danielson: Oh, I'm sure. I mean, the hardest part would be when you had to decide whether to use the fireman's carry or that lame hip toss you use to do it.

[[ Cena puts a fist up almost in Danielson's face. ]]

John Cena: I'd only use this. It's all it'd take.

[[ Danielson sarcastically yawns, putting his hand in front of mouth. ]]

John Cena: I know you've got your panties in a bunch that I cost you the belt. I know you're cryin' 'cause you got a bum deal in your rematch. I know you're bein' a baby 'cause you can't BE A MAN AND GO ON 'BOUT YA' BUSINESS! So Bryan Danielson! Let me tell you this, son.. You gotta' problem with ME?! Then, you've better step up or step back!

[[ Danielson blatantly shoves Cena back. ]]

Bryan Danielson: Now what?

John Cena: Fireman's carry.

Bryan Danielson: What?

John Cena: Oh, that's the decision I made on what made to wipe that smile off your face with!

[[ CENA HOISTS DANIELSON UP ON HIS SHOULDERS! DANIELSON TRIES FIGHTING IT OFF BUT IT'S NO USE! F-U RIGHT THROUGH THE TABLE IN CATERING! Cena starts pounding his chest repeatedly as Danielson lies in the remains of the broken table! ]]

John Cena: But I like ta' call it the F... U!

[[ Ricky Steamboat comes running into the picture with several security guards at his side. He steps in between Danielson and Cena as Danielson tries getting up from the FU. Finally, Danielson is up and lunges at Cena, but it restrained by the security guards. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: John, what did I tell you?

John Cena: He's the one who's got the problem.

Ricky Steamboat: I don't care. You were given strict orders to ignore Danielson until AFTER The Standard was taken out. The same order was given to CM Punk, and he's not had a problem following it!

[[ Steamboat is noticeably irked at the situation. Danielson smiles wide behind Steamboat's face, further adding to Cena's anger level. ]]

Bryan Danielson: Yeah, John, be Steamboat's little puppet. Do his bidding.

[[ Steamboat turns and faces Danielson. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: As for you, I have an announcement for you at the end of tonight after you and Cena's match.

John Cena: You givin' me Danielson one-on-one?

Ricky Steamboat: No. Tag match.

[[ Cena chuckles. ]]

John Cena: Yo, Dragon, good luck findin' someone to team with ya'.

Bryan Danielson: Screw you. I don't need ANYBODY!

Ricky Steamboat: You two will be in this tag team match.. As partners.

[[ Cena and Danielson have no response to the announcement. They both look totally in shock as Steamboat explains. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: Bryan, you want your title back. John, you're chasing after The Standard. You're both in luck. Tonight in the main event, we're going to see Bryan Danielson and John Cena against Chris Jericho and Takeshi Morishima!

Bryan Danielson: No thanks.

John Cena: Yeah, I don't trust 'em.

Ricky Steamboat: Well, tonight, you're going to have to.. Or else.

[[ Steamboat points at both Cena and Danielson and speaks very sternly, definitely meaning business. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: You two MUST work as a team tonight. If either of you intentionally screw the other in ANY way, you're both suspended for six months, no pay, no benefits, and when you return, you'll both be fighting guys like Shane Douglas in the opening matches while you watch Rhett Titus get your main event push! I'm serious.

[[ He looks to both men again, looking them right in the eyes. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: Very soon, you two will get your chance to settle your differences. For right now, this company is under attack. I need people working together for the common good. If you want a one-on-one match, there has to be a League of Champions to host it.

[[ The scene fades and goes to the ring as Cena and Danielson get right in one another's face, staring the other man down. There's no way Danielson and Cena can perform as a cohesive unit tonight in the main event! There's no way they can check their differences at the door and take care of Jericho and Morishima! What has Steamboat done? ]]


Match Four: LoC Elite Championship
Tyler Black vs. AJ Styles

[[ A collar-elbow tie up starts the match and Black goes for the Small Package Driver immediately, but it's blocked! Styles takes a step back afterwards, now knowing that Black's looking to end it quick. Styles adjusts and the match continues, neither man holding anything back, both men wanting the victory and the title. Styles knows if he wins, he can hand the Age of the Fall a bitter blow. Black constantly keeps going for big moves to end the match, but Styles keeps blocking. Finally, a missed moonsault late in the match allows Styles to pick Black up, STYLES CLASH! Styles rolls over into a pinning situation!! One, two, HERE'S EDGE AND RANDY ORTON ON THE APRON! They ran down and are now distracting Styles in the middle of a count! Styles breaks the pin and foolishly goes after RKO! Styles runs and dives over the top rope onto Edge and Orton! Styles goes to get back into the ring, but Black drop kicks him off the apron before he can get back in! On the floor outside, Edge and Orton finally come to from taking that dive and they take turns getting punched with AJ, preventing him from getting back into the ring as the referee counts to ten! Black forced the referee to continue counting Styles out or face bodily harm! Black has retained by count out! Styles was one second away from winning the Elite title! ]]

Winner: Tyler Black via Count Out
STILL LoC ELITE CHAMPION

[[ Edge and Randy Orton continue doing a number on AJ Styles after they cost him the chance to become Elite Champion. Tyler Black looks on from inside the ring as Styles is simply getting pummeled. Edge grabs two chairs as Orton begins giving Styles the Garvin Stomp, methodically stomping all around Styles' body, from his ankles to his shoulders. Edge grabbing the chairs spells bad trouble for Styles. Edge hands one chair to Orton, who raises it high in the air to draw a chorus of boos from the fans as Edge slams his chair against the mat on the floor, anxiously awaiting Styles to get back to his feet. Edge and Orton are preparing to deliver a knockout Con-Chair-To, but they never get the chance! HERE COMES KURT ANGLE AND CM PUNK! PUNK AND ANGLE JUMP ON EDGE AND ORTON IMMEDIATELY! The fans are blowing the roof off the joint, ecstatic that Styles has been sparred from the double chair shot! Angle and Punk are simply kicking ass for a lack of better term. This situation with the Standard and League of Champions has caused tensions to rise to an all-time high, and people are simply sick of the way The Standard handles their business around here! Angle gives Orton an Angle Slam and immediately slaps on the Angle Lock, causing Orton to scream in pain! Punk gives Edge the Pepsi Twist on the floor! Punk pumps his fists and plays to the fans as Edge begins crawling towards the curtains, finally getting to his feet and leaving his partner behind, who is still locked in the Angle Lock! Finally, Angle releases the hold as he and Punk help Styles to their feet. The three raise their arms in unison! This is definitely not over by a long shot! ]]


[[ Christian Cage is walking backstage and grabs a hold of the door that leads to the locker room of the non-main event stars of League of Champions. Cage takes a deep breath and opens the door, taking a few steps inside until he's met with a long line of resistance from the habitants of the room. ]]

Christian Cage: Seriously?

[[ Jerry Lynn, James Gibson, Jeff Hardy, Matt Sydal, and Roderick Strong all form a line that blocks Christian from entering the locker room any more than he already is. ]]

Jeff Hardy: You made your decision not to be a part of this locker room back when LoC came back in December.

Matt Sydal: Yeah!

[[ Christian is stunned. ]]

Christian Cage: Matt Sydal's not even been here a whole month!

Jerry Lynn: He's already more loyal than you are.

Christian Cage: You've not been here long, either!

[[ Christian runs a hand through his hair, in total disbelief. ]]

Christian Cage: Give me a break!

[[ He shakes his head as the line in front of him grows. It's amazing to see such a long list of guys willing to take a stand. ]]

Christian Cage: I just want somewhere to put my gear and watch the show.

Ron Killings: Go buy ya'self a ticket then, chump.

[[ Just then, Claudio Castagnoli comes through the door, side steps Cage, and raises his arms in the air. ]]

Claudio Castagnoli: HEY!

[[ Claudio adjusts his necktie while the group looks on. ]]

Claudio Castagnoli: I'm Claudio Castagnoli, the most money makin' man! Being here wit' you, is a .. How do you say.. Very nice!

[[ He gives two thumbs up as some of the guys greet him and shake hands. ]]

Christian Cage: Are you serious?

Claudio Castagnoli: Apologies.. You are?

Christian Cage: Christian Cage.

[[ Claudio is taken aback. ]]

Claudio Castagnoli: Oh, the turncoat? Benedict Arnie.

Christian Cage: It's "Benedict Arnold," and I'm not a damn turncoat.

[[ Claudio hands Cage his gear bag. ]]

Claudio Castagnoli: Benedict, will you put 'dis up for Claudio? He has many friends to make!

[[ Cage stares at the gear bag for a few seconds as Claudio begins throwing his arms in the air, only saying "HEY!" after it. He does this about three straight times until Cage throws the bag down and jumps Claudio from behind! Cage begins stomping on the back of Claudio, picks him up, and then throws him against the wall! Instantly, the rest of the locker room picks Cage up by all fours, Cage trying to fight out of the hold.. Lynn, Strong, Sydal, Gibson, and Killings carry Cage out of the locker room and begin carrying him down the hallway! ]]

Jerry Lynn: Let's find a place for this piece of shit!

[[ Cage continues struggling out of his predicament, but to no success. Finally, the back door to the arena is opened and they drop Christian right on his ass right by the dumpster! ]]

Jerry Lynn: We'll let Osaka's finest pick up the trash!

[[ Some of the guys mockingly slap their hands together to dust them off as they survey Christian sitting on the ground by a dumpster. Everyone turns around and leaves the outside and heads back to the locker room, locking Christian Cage out! Christian Cage has definitely done nothing to make any friends tonight! Things have just gotten even worse for the Instant Classic! ]]


[[ Backstage, Michael Cole is standing by with Tyler Black, Allison Wonderland, The Necro Butcher, BJ Whitmer, and Abyss. Cole looks understandably nervous being in the middle of this group of intimidating figures. ]]

Michael Cole: Tyler Black, Roderick Strong has challenged you to a match for your newly won Elite Championship. After some time to consider his challenge, do you have an answer?

[[ Black looks furious he was hit with this question. He looks down at Cole as the entire group comes closer and closer around Cole. ]]

Tyler Black: This is how you start your interview? Seriously?

[[ Pause. ]]

Tyler Black: We're three days removed from me running a van into a dumpster Jimmy Jacobs fell into.. And you want to ask me about Roderick Strong?

[[ Black looks irritated by the questioning. ]]

Tyler Black: I barely made it through my match tonight! This revolution has suffered a blow. Our leader.. Is gone.

[[ Abyss grabs Cole by the neck. ]]

Tyler Black: AND YOU WANT TO ASK ME ABOUT RODERICK STRONG?!

[[ Black is breathing heavily, furious. ]]

Tyler Black: FINE! I'LL ACCEPT HIS STUPID CHALLENGE! WHATEVER!

[[ Pause. ]]

Tyler Black: HE CAN'T EVEN TALK RIGHT!

[[ Cole is beginning to turn blue. ]]

Tyler Black: Right now.. This revolution, this movement.. All rests on Tyler Black's shoulders.

[[ He tosses the Elite Championship belt down. ]]

Tyler Black: I have other things to worry about right now.

[[ Fade. ]]


Match Five: Singles Match
Matt Hardy vs. Davey Richards

[[ Matt Hardy and Davey Richards start the match off by trading punches and kicks, neither man able to knock the other off his feet. Hardy goes for a roundhouse punch, but Richards ducks and pops Hardy in the gut with a back kick and the snowball rolls down hill from there for Matt Hardy. Hardy's offense seemingly has no affect on Richards, who is now in some sort of zone. The crazed Davey Richards kicks Hardy in the chest, followed by a chop, and then a head butt to the face! He picks Hardy up, TOMBSTONE! Good Lord! DR DRIVER! Richards just hit Hardy with two monstrous finishers! He looks down at Hardy, struggling to move. Richards is almost rabid, seemingly foaming at the mouth as he plans his next move. He goes down to the ring and slaps on the Kimura! The keylock submission quickly forces Matt Hardy to tap out! Davey Richards could possibly be the most dangerous man in LoC right now! ]]

Winner: Davey Richards via Submission


[[ In the interview area we see Maria standing by with Chris Jericho, Trish Stratus, Takeshi Morishima, and Larry Sweeney. Morishima and Jericho look ready for their match. Jericho admires his World Championship as Morishima is being pepped up by Sweeney, who keeps complimenting him on how his black cowboy hat looks on top of his head. ]]

Maria: Hi, Glory fans! I'm Maria!

[[ She giggles. ]]

Maria: After Ricky Steamboat gave me a couple of weeks off to recover from a terrible one night stand, I'm back!

[[ She frowns just thinking about the one night stand. ]]

Maria: It was terrible. Afterwards, there was blood on me, blood on him, blood on the sheets, blood on the curtains, blood on the floor.. I looked at him and said, bitch, all this blood ain't mine!

[[ She snaps. ]]

Maria: It was all mine after all.

Chris Jericho: Excuse me, Maria, but I think the interview time belongs to myself and Takeshi Morishima.. The two most powerful men in League of Champions. The two top champions in this company. Tonight, we have a very important match. No one cares about you and whatever poor, idiotic soul you found to have sexual intercourse with you, Maria.

[[ Jericho rips the microphone from her hands and Trish shoves her down to the ground. ]]

Trish Stratus: And stay down.

[[ The camera turns to Jericho, who turns to it and begins speaking. ]]

Chris Jericho: Up next, LoC fans see the destruction that Chris Jericho and Takeshi Morishima have planned. Bryan Danielson and John Cena can't stand to even share the same oxygen, let alone work together in a match against two men of the caliber as myself and Morishima. Suffice to say, this main event is going to be brutal, ugly, and downright unwatchable.

[[ Sweeney chuckles in delight. ]]

Chris Jericho: I give it five minutes until Cena and Danielson turn on one another like hungry wolves. As much as both men hate me and my associates, the hatred they share for one another surpasses it by a landslide. Tonight, Chris Jericho, the LoC World Champion.. Morishima, the United States Champion.. Dominate John Cena and Bryan Danielson.

Larry Sweeney: THAT'S RIGHT, DADDY-O!

Chris Jericho: Whether or not they work together or rip one another a part, the outcome will be the same. Another victory for the legitimate best.. wrestler.. in the world.. The LoC World Heavyweight Champion, Chris Jericho..

Larry Sweeney: AND MY TOP CLIENT, TAKESHI MORISHIMA! AHAHAHAHA! AIN'T NO DOUBT ABOUT IT, BABY!

[[ Jericho hands his title belt to Trish and looks into the camera once more. ]]

Chris Jericho: As for Ricky Steamboat and his threat of a big match at Tokyo Turmoil that will supposedly "end" The Standard.. Good luck on that, Dragon. The Standard cannot.. and will not.. Be stopped. Not by you, not by Cena, not by Danielson.. The Standard is going to cleanse this business of all of the filth that has taken this business down to the very depths of hell where Chris Benoit resides today.

[[ He smirks. ]]

Chris Jericho: Whatever idea you have, Dragon.. Bring it on.

[[ We go to the ring. ]]


Match Six: Tag Team Match
Chris Jericho and Takeshi Morishima vs. John Cena and Bryan Danielson

[[ Morishima starts off against Cena. Cena is fired up with the fans behind him. Morishima begins pummeling Cena, who has had no way to prepare for the stiffness of Morishima's shots. Jericho looks on as Morishima beats Cena down early on, gaining a near fall with a side walk slam. Danielson looks like he doesn't want to be there, but does tag himself in as soon as Jericho comes in. Danielson and Jericho exchange a series of holds and reversals, coming to a stalemate. Danielson slaps Jericho in the mouth, who then returns the favor. Danielson tears into Jericho, who quickly tags Morishima. Danielson spits in Morishima's face and dives on the big man! Danielson tags Cena, which shocks everyone. Cena and Danielson do a double shoulder block on Morishima, sending the big man down! Cena locks Morishima in the STFU as Jericho breaks it up! Danielson clotheslines Jericho out of the ring after a roaring elbow! Cena picks Morishima up! HE'S GOING TO FU THE BIG MAN! Jericho comes back in and dead legs Cena! Danielson grabs a steel chair and comes back in the ring! He NAILS JERICHO! Due to the importance of the match, the referee doesn't call for the bell! Cena is back up and grabs Morishima by the arms. Danielson charges at Morishima to hit him with the chair, but Morishima falls out of the way. Cena puts his hands up to stop Danielson from coming any closer. Danielson stops and turns to Morishima as if he's going to hit him, then CLOCKS CENA IN THE HEAD WITH THE CHAIR! WHAT HAS DANIELSON DONE?! HE'S HIT HIS OWN TEAMMATE WITH A CHAIR!

Danielson tosses the chair down on the mat and leaves the ring as Morishima picks Cena up, BACK DROP DRIVER! One! Two! Three! Danielson screwed Cena! Danielson screwed Cena! Cena springs back up and dives OUT OF THE RING ONTO DANIELSON! Cena throws Danielson back in the ring and begins whaling on him with flurries of lefts and rights to the fans' delight! Danielson was picking fights with the fans, allowing Cena time to recover and realize what happened! ]]

Winners: Chris Jericho and Takeshi Morishima via Pin Fall

[[ After the match, CM Punk, Kurt Angle, AJ Styles, and Rhino come down to the ring to pull Cena off of Danielson, who rolls out of the ring with a big smile on his face, lucky to have escaped Cena's wrath after what he did! He cost his team the match! Danielson only cared about getting his hands on Jericho AND Cena! Winning the match meant nothing to him in the end, as Danielson claimed it was an "accident." Cena is livid, desperately wanting to get his hands back on Danielson for costing them the match intentionally. Chris Jericho, Morishima, and Sweeney are on the other side of the outside, watching everything going down in front of them with big smiles on their faces. Ricky Steamboat comes to the top of the ramp to observe, finally stopping the scuffling going on by getting the attention of everyone ringside. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: I've seen enough. This company will not be torn down again by you, Bryan Danielson. Last time in LoC, you were bloodying Ric Flair, bringing in Bret Hart to get his revenge on a screw-job finish.. You were my World Champion and there was nothing I could do to stop it. But now, now I can put a stop to it.

[[ Danielson cocks and eyebrow, looking on with interest. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: I suspend you, you ignore it. I fine you, you have an envelope delivered to my desk. Inside the envelope is a personal check in the amount of "Go Screw Yourself." Danielson, your attitude has done nothing but make things worse. And for that, for the next two shows, you'll not be competiting on them. As for Tokyo Turmoil, you'll be lucky if you're even booked for it! I have the right mind right now to let you work a preliminary match before the show in front of a hundred fans!

[[ Danielson's eyes to wild and he kicks the ring steps! ]]

Ricky Steamboat: Enjoy the next two weeks watching the show from the back. I'm going to take your payout you would have made from the shows, and I'm going to give it to the family of Val Venis so they don't file a class-action lawsuit against this company!

[[ Danielson is absolutely fuming! He's smashing chairs, guard rails, and monitors like crazy. No one in the area is safe as Danielson gives Steamboat the middle finger and exits through the stands, slapping the hands off him as fans reach to touch the former World Champion. Steamboat looks satisfied with how that went and continues. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: Speaking of Val Venis and his untimely demise.. This brings me to the Standard. You've thrown one of my employees off a bridge into frozen waters! You've kidnapped Kurt Angle's ex-wife and now you're holding her for ransom.. As some sort of collateral to protect yourselves! Chris Jericho, you say if anyone tries harming any of your people, you'll harm her even more! I'm sick of it, sick of you, and sick of your bullying tactics! Here's the deal, Chris.. You have until the main event of Tokyo Turmoil.. Three more shows.. To bring Karen Angle back and hand her over without a scratch on her. If you don't, you'll face criminal prosecution for kidnapping and attempted murder!

[[ Jericho doesn't even look phased as Angle has to be held back from attacking. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: I've sat idle long enough as let you scumbags run my company into the ground. It's time to stand up and fight back. That's why this thing ends once and for all in three weeks! The main event of Tokyo Turmoil will be a ten-man elimination match! John Cena, CM Punk, Rhino, Kurt Angle, and AJ Styles taking on Chris Jericho, Edge, Randy Orton, Tyson Tomko, and Takeshi Morishima!

[[ The fans erupt in a huge pop for that huge main event match! ]]

Ricky Steamboat: This whole month is dedicated simply to eliminating The Standard from League of Champions. And after you guys get beat in three weeks, you guys will have a lot of debts to pay up. A lot of things you've done to answer for once and for all. Tokyo Turmoil will be known as Armageddon for The Standard! Mark my words!

[[ Jericho begins mouthing off to Steamboat, although what he's saying is inaudible. It certainly cannot be good nevertheless. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: Enjoy the next three weeks. After Tokyo Turmoil, The Standard will be looking for new jobs!

[[ Cena, Punk, Styles, Rhino, and Angle stare down Jericho and Morishima, ready to attack at any second. ]]

Ricky Steamboat: Jericho, your back's against a wall now. It's not that much fun being the one getting bullied now.. Is it?

[[ Steamboat turns around and goes through the curtain as Larry Sweeney gathers himself and starts to try to cool down Chris Jericho, who is in total disbelief at how the show ended after such a great moment for him and Morishima just minutes ago. Jericho's world has totally taken a one-eight in the matter of five minutes! Tokyo Turmoil is going to be huge, as this has been building ever since the first show a little over two months ago! Finally, finally, The Standard will get their just desserts for everything they've done! Finally, Ricky Steamboat and League of Champions management have stood up and forced Jericho and company to pay for their actions! The reign of terror has to be coming to an end! ]]

[[ Fade out. ]]
