Memoirs of a Booker

Full Card:

Chitose Ariwara v Dragon Assassin©

 

Tomoko Nagatsuka v Yori Toyoshima

 

Angel Takudome & Etsuko Ariyoshi v Seek & Destroy

 

Ginko Kuroda v Rei Chikanatsu

 

Fuyuko Higa v Gemmei Oonishi

 

The Rainbow Girls v DEVIL Karube & Chiyeko Kita

 

Yuma Maruya v Umeko Hotta v Megumi Nakajima v Raku Makuda

 

Although Higa will probably debut with a win, and it will be tempting to give her a strong push early, it may be wiser to hold her back for a few tours. Not only to let her polish her strong skills, but also not to exacerbate an already bad attitude. Do the joshi promotions follow the young lion rules, or is that just the mens japanese promotions?

*It all happened so fast. Sensational Ogiwara's Super Mario Invitational had everyone screaming, oohing and aahing... even Yuu, in the back, smiled as it was down to Ogiwara and Gemmei. With a truly Sensational leap of Luigi turbo faith, Ogiwara-san had won her own tournament. As the cheers died down another commotion started to gain volume of a different kind and heads began to turn.*

 

"Higa-san! No!!"

http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWroster150/Kit.jpg + http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj188/Ippotamus/TEWroster150/Fuyuko.jpg

*Kit's voice was sharp in the air as Yuu picked up her pace towards the emptying hall and ducked under the black curtain she herself had hung hours earlier. Kit had both arms wrapped around Fuyuko's waist as she was half over the barricade that separated 'us' from 'them' ... the fans. Fuyuko's eyes looked like their were going to leave her skull as colorful language left her mouth in a stream at three brain vacated, high school drop outs fell over themselves to back up.*

 

"Enough!"

 

*Yuu slipped over the barricade and, putting some jump in her legs, pushed Fuyuko back as Kit wrenched her backwards back to 'us' land. Four others emerged a second later, with Huntress and Tomoko pointing out the exit to the lost soul gang and the rest pulling Fuyuko back behind the curtain where she belonged... even though that was questionable at this point.*

 

"Kuso."

 

*Yuu stood in the middle as everything dissipated just as quickly as it had erupted. The show had been good, but this was not the way to end it. With a look of defined unhappiness, Yuu headed back behind the curtain with a single purpose.*

 

"What was that!?"

 

*Bodies moved aside to give Yuu a clear view of Fuyuko whose eyes flashed angrily at Yuu now. This in turn only fueled Yuu on.*

 

"Look at me like that again. Do it! Get in there!"

 

*Yuu was not a physical specimen by any means. She had no particular muscle definition to speak of... not a single loss or victory in any ring. But what she did have was experience with people like Fuyuko: young, talented, and spoiled by fawning of their trainers and idols. As the doors closed behind them, Yuu's clipboard cracked against the wall. A noise which seemed to startle even Fuyuko. Only Yuu's heavy breathing could be heard in the quiet room.*

 

"That's one!"

 

*Yuu held up the finger for illustration purposes.*

 

"And there is only one more, Fuyuko so I hope those futurless vessels were worth it. Perhaps you will be joining them soon."

 

*Fuyuko was going to protest, but Yuu was having none of that.*

 

"Shut up. I told you the very first day that I am the mirror of 5SSW. Did you think that was something cute? You act like that? I act like that. You act like that one more time and we are done. If I had money for every girl that left here and did absolutely nothing with the rest of her career... I would rent someone to hold your hand until you actually knew who you were."

 

*Fuyuko continued to glare, though not as hot as before. Yuu, didn't soften at all. She was not this girls mother... that was Kit's job.*

 

"One more."

 

*Yuu turned and walked out the door, slamming it behind her as hard as she could which wasn't as hard as she would have liked. She really needed to work out someday.*

5SSW Owner, Sakurako Kagawa, speaks about fan incident after their successful April 1st show.

"It is always regrettable when situations like this occur. Fuyuko Higa is, of course, very sorry for her unprofessional actions and she has found out that discipline inside 5SSW is quite serious. No one was injured, and punishment has been dealt. We consider the matter closed at this time and look forward to entertaining the people of the Kanto region next week."

 

Head booker, Yuu Onuki, responds to recent Babes of Sin City remarks regarding 5SSW.

"... I'm sure they do want a chance at regaining their titles. It is only natural. But this is not a game and we do not have nor do we desire any working relationship with them. What we did, we did because it was good for us not them. They should take their multiple lessons to heart, forget about us and their former tag team titles. Tell them to make some new ones. It is best..."

Dragon Power and 5SSW have reportedly parted ways.

While no public reason was given, it has long been rumored that Yuu Onuki has never been a fan of Power's work, rate or workrate.

I don't really have much to say.

Thank you for all the compliments. They are really nice, and the nomination to DOTMTOROWMRT as well. :)

Thanks for all the entertainment. Your Dynasties are all simply awesome and I steal from them daily. :p

I still consider this a work in progress. I am still experimenting a lot. Trying to find my happy pace.

The more detailed April results of weeks 1-3 got erased by human error and finding finishers is difficult without them. So they are a little sad until week 4... not that those were ever my strong point to begin with.

Compensation is my friend.

 

-Yes, the young lion system is active for the women as well, just ask Higa. My game is default setting except for numbers instead of grading. Though I may change back to grades. Numbers are all so numbery. But numbers are more Japanese.

 

I'm not actually that skilled at this game, I'm messing with angles a little bit but I don't know if I can write even more. I mean where does it all end?

 

I see no end in sight.

La, la, la

Y.O.

A new series from 5SSW that will hopefully introduce our new fans to some of the incredible talent we have on our roster. Hand picked by the owner, Sakurako Kagawa and her staff, each month will feature a new wrestler.

 

~Our first selection had to be a good one, yes? We wanted a wrestler who both embodied our past and our future at the same time. A woman of striking beauty and equally striking power. Our decision was quite unanimous in the end. We felt almost silly for taking so much time to make the decision.

Y.O.~

"Aaaaaagh!"

 

*Yuu's forehead hit the top of her desk several times... it helped her focus. Today it helped her focus on the missing the line, that invisible thread that ran through any good show.*

 

"Where are you."

 

*Yuu muttered to herself, pushing little pieces of yellow paper around on her desktop. Near the window, Kit and Ogiwara played a light game of cards while discussing the few matches Yuu had given them... too few as Yuu moved the little pieces of paper again.*

 

*Things had changed since her return. The global economical stew had hit even their weird little niche of a world. Everybody wanted to work every show, which was more than understandable. But Yuu's wiring didn't quite know what to do with that fact and the thread hid from her deep behind the names.*

 

"If you need more tag teams. I would try Rei and HEART together. I think they would work well together."

 

*Ogiwara played a card and took two more from a pile. Yuu looked up from her desky view with one eye, but kept her forehead in contact with the desk. Ogiwara-san didn't talk to herself, unlike Kit. She only talked when she had something to say. Yuu moved 4 pieces of paper in a line... 4 names: Seek & Destroy vs Rei & Heart. It had no reason, but a new tag team didn't need one.*

 

*Raku Makuda had fought her way into the Main Even in week 1. It was a fact that Yuu was having a hard time accepting. The styles of Raku and Yuma were bumping together awkwardly, she needed a third to even things out. If she was lucky one of them would knock Raku back down a slot. There was only one name left adequate for the job as she slid next to the other two right where her forehead had been. Kit looked over from her cards, then looked back.*

 

"Could work."

 

*Yuu looked over to her "friend".*

 

"Could not work, Kit... much like yourself."

 

*Ogiwara-san smiled at the little cut as Kit tried her best to ignore it. A couple of names were missing and there would be grumbling to be sure. Most distressing to Yuu was the line... that thread had not revealed itself to her just yet... just glimpses with no true shape. It did not matter to the outside world. The shows were receiving great numbers and reviews, but it mattered to Yuu who leaned back to let the others see the final card.*

 

*The next day 5SSW would lean back and let the world see.*

The only really questionable one to me is the Arihyoshi/Higa match and that is because I am not sure where Arihyoshi stands in comparison to the rest of the roster. i'm guessing Higa is more talented, but given her attitude, a humbling defeat ( or twenty! ) would work wonders in reminding her that she is only a possible future of 5SSW, not the current.

For the most part I agree with D-Mack's analysis, though I think Raku pins Megumi to further her claim to a title shot while keeping Yuma strong. I'm not sure how you're handling Higa after her incident - I'd think you'd want to build her up a bit before letting the uppercard have their way with her. Arihyoshi will still pick up skill from this loss and if Higa self-destructs, she can step right in.

Kanto Region: Ibaraki Community Hall:

 

*It was there second show in Kanto so the numbers had dropped back to where they had started from. But the audience was fresh, and their energy was good for everyone... especially Yuu who had spent the last few hours behind the wheel of a rather vintage and poisonous cargo truck. But walking around the small but friendly line outside the hall had re-charged her. She was ready for the show.*

 

"I think you will really enjoy it. Thank you for coming."

 

*She bowed slightly to a group of younger girls before turning towards the entrance. After Kanto they had decided to head back home to Kinki to solidify their holding there before heading north to Hokkaido in August. It would be a nice to visit north and escape the unbearable humidity of the main island. It was a good plan.*

 

"Yuu, time to open the doors!"

 

*Someone called from around the side of the hall. She was pretty sure it was Yuma, but she couldn't be sure. As usual she slid behind the ticket table, greeting each ticket holder as they went by... tearing the ticket stubs... and making a mark in a tally book. The final number would be: 227 tickets sold. That was an increase of 6 from the previous week.*

 

"A plus is a plus, the number does not change it."

 

*She did not really believe that. She had tried desperately to secure TV or PPV coverage as soon as they had grown big enough to qualify. But every call had been rejected, or not even returned. Media was a cold business of the no-soul... just two years ago she had been their little darling of content. Now she nothing to them until they needed her. The worse thing was she could not even hold that against them... because she needed them as well.*

 

"Doors!"

 

*One of the workers called, and the doors to the main hall began to close. Yuu took her usual seat, out of the way, and watched her show unfold.*

5SSW Boom Boom Beat: April: Week 2

Fuyuko Higa continues to grab attention both inside and outside of the ring. Last night she put on a wrestling display that hasn't been seen since Sensational Ogiwara hung up her boots.

*They drove back and forth from Kinki to Kanto and back again. A weeks worth of hotels would have broken the company in a single month. Most of the girls were left to arrange their own travel, the train being the most popular choice. Others had their transportation thrust upon them, like Yuu and 5SSW's vintage, yet poisonous, cargo van. A match made on a seemingly un-losable wager that Yuu promptly lost when Sensational Ogiwara signed with them.*

 

"Ties run deep."

 

*Had not Yuu herself returned for the very same reason which she had wagered against? She deserved do be driving this truck for the next two months. By the time the ring had been torn down, money paid, dinner eaten and the proper thanks given to all those involved... it was well past two in the morning. Even the notorious Tokyo streets were light of traffic as she pulled on to the highway pointed towards Kinki.*

 

*The tour was running strong. They had grown and she felt they had secured their growth with the run of good shows. There was no going back now. True to her word, The Lizard Queen had allowed them to run a few angles here and there as a sort of test run. While no one was particularly inspiring, it hadn't destroyed the company either.*

 

"Lines, lines, lines."

 

*Yuu watched the traffic lines painted on the pavement pass her by in the thousands as she settled in the slow lane and let the asphalt be her guide. If she gave each line a name as they passed kilometer after kilometer then she could almost see the third week taking shape. She had found her line, and began sticking little pieces of yellow paper on the dashboard. Raku was going to get Yuma and a single chance at a chance. DEVIL was re-asserting herself through action and the Rei/HEART combination still needed a name. She had plenty of kilometers to figure out almost all of that.*

 

"Almost..."

 

*That was the inside world. The outside world still swirled by them all without much attention. Patience was their best friend. But Yuu had a bad experience with patience, they weren't on the best of terms. Maybe it had been a wise decision after all to not go out on her own. She didn't have the control. She didn't have the ice cold eyes. She probably would have run herself into the ground.*

 

"Probably? I am too kind."

 

*She thought to herself as she fumbled through her backpack for a fresh pack of post-its and a half eaten rice ball.*

-Thank you for all the great tag team names. They were very helpful.-

 

*Yuu stood in the empty 5SSW dojo, staring at the practice ring because it really was the only thing to stare at. If one of the younger roster members had walked by, they probably would have assumed she was visualizing a possible match in the ring... they would of course be wrong. Yuu had never wrestled a day in her life and had no intention of ever doing so. Visualizing matches was Kit's and Ogiwara-san's job. So Yuu just looked at it as it was... a stage of display and act-ion. She visualized everything else around the ring. The people watching. Their eyes. Their interest. Their boredom. Their actions. That was her job.*

 

"Connections... corrections... collections..."

 

*Her philosophy of most week 3 shows spoken to no one, but out loud.*

 

*Seek & Destroy had demanded a rematch against Rei and HEART: the infamous team without a name. But the fans obviously saw their potential for on several internet forums names had been suggested. She thought it was safe to give Seek & Destroy the rematch because their name value was big enough to take a few hits. But not too many more, she secretly hoped they would win.*

 

*The previous week Raku had put it on the line. She would meet Yuma one on one for the very first time in a 'Winner Calls The Shot' affair. If she won, she would get her title shot in a match of her choosing at History Girls. If she lost, she would not. Yuu found it quite cut and dry if not fair. No booker in their right mind would put Raku near the Main Event. Yuu did the only thing she could and put it in Raku's hands. Well, it was that and removing her from the Main Event slot. DEVIL had surely earned that back.*

 

*Dragon Assassin would defend her title against one of the young lions: Gemmei Oonishi. While not the most deserving, she was an example to any other young lion who might be watching. Be quiet. Work hard and good things will come. She hoped Fuyuko would be watching. She hoped she would be angry as well.*
