<p>Yeah, anytime I ever see "OBJECTION!" I think of Phoenix Wright.</p><p> </p><p>

Judging by the state of your roster, it appears Austin's elbow injury wasn't nearly as bad as everyone assumed. That's great news! That should put us right back on track for his feud with Goldberg.</p>

She was talking about the road she'd walked and her own personal darkness she had to overcome to get back to this point (a reference to her time in rehab) when Mita and Ito attacked her! With Daffney and LuFisto nowhere to be seen (more on that later), Hokuto was overwhelmed. Ito softened her up, then passed her off to Mita, who drew proverbial first blood with a Death Valley Driver. </p><p> </p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Yamada's Done Playing Second Fiddle</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <em>The seeds of insecurity were slowly sown over several months, with opponents disrespecting Toshiyo Yamada and treating her as nothing other than Manami Toyota's backup. Yamada tried to step out of her longtime partner's shadow by winning the World Championship on the August 16th Renaissance, but Toyota came away the victor. Yamada refused a postmatch handshake and walked to the back alone. After a couple of weeks of uncertainty, Toshiyo invited Manami to the ring on September 6th to clear the air. What started as a heartfelt apology turned on a dime when Yamada shocked Toyota with a roundhouse kick to the head! She brutalized her now-former friend with a bevy of kicks, then glared down at her prone form.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> On the 13th, both women had sit-down style promos. Yamada said she was tired of living Toyota' shadow all these years, doing all the work and being overlooked while Manami got all the credit. If Manami had the guts to give her one more shot, she'd step out of her shadow once and for all and prove she'd been the superior wrestler all along by beating her and taking her title. In Manami's rebuttal, she said she'd never considered Toshiyo below her. They'd been partners and friends for years, and they'd even had some great matches as opponents, but the friendship never suffered. But now Toshiyo had let her jealousy destroy their friendship. She accepted the challenge, saying she would beat Toshiyo again at the PPV.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> I was there the next week to oversee the official contract signing. You know how wrestling contract signings normally go, and this one was not an exception. As Manami was looking down at the contract, Toshiyo attacked her once again. She bounced Toyota's head off the table, then knocked her out with another roundhouse kick. After signing her own name on the contract, Yamada picked up the title belt, stared at it for several moments, then dropped it across Manami's chest.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> There wasn't a ton of advancement on the 20th; just a clip of the signing, and then a pre-tape from Toyota where she said now she knew beyond all doubt that Yamada had cast their friendship aside forever, and she would be able to fight freely, without indecision or regret. Yamada beat Kyoko Inoue in the main event of the go home show, after which Toyota came to the ring and called her insecure. She said Toshiyo had always had a place to throw all of her insecurity and unhappiness with her own career: she just threw it all on Manami. But after she challenged her, again, and failed, again, she'd have no scapegoat to blame for her failure; she'd have to look in the mirror and admit her own shortcomings. That finally set Yamada off. She again attacked, but Manami wasn't caught off-guard this time. The two women brawled in the ring until several of their fellow wrestlers came out from the back to pull them apart, lest one of them get injured right before their title match. </em></p><p> </p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Unafraid of Monsters</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <em>Aja Kong and Devil Masami had complained of lack of competition throughout the Grand Prix, and on 9/6 they were interrupted by Allison Corino. Allison said she would've given anything to make it into the Grand Prix tournament, and Aja and Devil should respect what they have instead of disrespecting the rest of the roster. She wrestled Aja 1 on 1 on the 13th, but despite given her best effort, she could not survive the Uraken backfist. The champions mocked her the following week for losing despite her bold words. Allison didn't back down. She acknowledged that she'd been beaten, but said she was far from finished, and she'd prove it to them both.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><em> Corino recruited a partner to help her battle the fearsome champions, and she introduced her on the 27th: it was Alexis Laree, fresh off partaking in the Grand Prix tournament. The twosome defeated Wesna Busic and Katarina Waters in a tag match, but that was a far step away from Kong and Masami. It was Alexis' turn to go solo against Kong on the go home show, and despite absorbing lots of punishment, she shocked Aja with a flying sunset flip for the pin! Alexis and Allison celebrated in the ring after the match, while Masami joined her partner in disbelief. The champions, who had thought of Allison and then Alexis as unworthy foes, now acknowledged that they were at least worth their momentary attention. They were going to give them what they wanted: a shot at the titles. But when the dust cleared, they'd realize they were never true competition to begin with. </em></p><p> </p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Meiko Strikes Back</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <em>As already detailed, Meiko Satomura came one victory away from winning the A Block and advancing to the finals of the Grand Prix, only for the previously winless Daffney to defeat her with the poison mist.

But by the go home show, with the block stages of the Grand Prix finished, she had some backup in the form of Chigusa Nagayo. The two of them cornered Daffney and LuFisto near the curtain (preventing them from saving Akira Hokuto from the beatdown mentioned earlier, though that wasn't a premeditated thing from the faces), and said they'd see them in tag action on the PPV. </em></p><p> </p></div></blockquote><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><blockquote data-ipsquote="" class="ipsQuote" data-ipsquote-contentapp="forums" data-ipsquote-contenttype="forums" data-ipsquote-contentid="43035" data-ipsquote-contentclass="forums_Topic"><div><div style="text-align:center;"><p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Other action</span></strong></p></div><p></p><p></p><p> </p><p> <em>With the Grand Prix tournament taking up so much focus until a week before the PPV, we didn't have time to build much else.

General diary comments/questions/critiques: I feel like you need to keep building the non-Japanese women up to be on an even playing field, and this starts here with some of my predications. Other then that, just keep it going, this has helped me get through the daily grind I'm feeling at my soon to be no longer existing job, and the stress of finding a new one. So, thanks!</p>

<strong>Sorry to cross streams here, but I didn't get to predict this yet! I admittedly haven't gotten enough into the women's stuff to predict on that.</strong></p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>

As for War Games, I love that you're trying to keep Shane Douglas relevant! It'd have been easy to just let him fall by the wayside but I think you probably put him in an optimal area to maximize him. Also, I'm pleasantly surprised by the Knoble win. Again, it's really easy to bring in guys like Danielson and let them run wild, but I like the restraint. Another awesome show!</strong></p>

Knowing the stories of how Bret in real life (especially in the early 2000s) is kind of a curmudgeonly old fuddy-duddy, I had already assumed that the Dragons came up with "OBJECTION!" from playing the game themselves or how it caught on in Japan, and they started doing it. Now it's taken off, and soon they'll be winning the Tag Team titles at Starrcade! *fingers crossed*

 

Manami Toyota - The heel turn is in vain as Toyota retains the title in a hard-fought bout.

Etsuko Mita - If Mita loses this one, then the Empire really are pretty much gone. Toyota vs. Mita will be world class.

Kong and Masami - I like the team of Danger and Laree for sure, but not their night.

Daffney and LuFisto - Dark anime on patrol, it's the End of Evangelion all up in this bitch!

Momoe Nakanishi

Moretti and Kandori

 

MOTN: Mita vs. Hokuto

Titles: 0
