LETHAL STEEL JAPANESE WRESTLING
THE BLOOD & THE SPIRIT

A Bloody ThunderVerse Adventure

Tokyo, Japan - LETHAL Steel Japanese Wrestling is most famous for its highly dangerous contests involving barbed wire, fire, explosions and just about anything else their wrestlers can think to use. The most brutal promotion in existence, LETHAL started life as traditional puro fed Tokyo Steel in 1979. However, it was BOSS Nagata's purchase of the company in 1989 that saw the most drastic change in Japanese wrestling history. Now, LETHAL's annual two-day DEATHMATCH Invitational is frequented by hardcore wrestlers from across the globe hoping to gain the title of "World's Most Extreme Wrestler".

BOSS Nagata, keen to ensure the long-term prospects of the promotion, used the closure of HONOUR to bring in a number of "regular" wrestlers, including the much-lauded Tokyo Wrecking Crew. Opening up a "Spirit" division to run alongside its hardcore "Blood" division, LETHAL is starting to bring in new fans who would normally avoid its deathmatch product.

oh hell yeah

[jhd1]

The new look LETHAL has huge potential, so very interested to see where you go with this (and who ends up as the #4 in the Tokyo Wrecking Crew!).

[DarK_RaideR]

Give me all the hardcore or comedy TVerse diaries!

[CGN91]

I lurked into the T-Verse and LETHAL got my biggest attention yet. Love it!

[Dalton]

Push Teddy Windham!!!!!!!

[Tiberious]

This looks really good. I've never really played around with LETHAL, but the roster and division setup they have going on this year is super interesting.

[foolinc]

Good luck with this. Hope you are able to snake Dustin LeFever away from UPJ. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

- As their feud continues to heat up, LETHAL Chalice of Blood Champion <font color="cc211b"><b>Kyushichi Mizumaki</b></font> did not look down in defeat to the members of The Bloody Hand. Mizumaki promised to take the fight to the stable and continue to bring forward the next generation of LETHAL "Blood Warriors".

Let's take bets on how long it takes BJ Powers to get himself fired.

[CGN91]

Good first show! I love Kyushichi Mizumaki so much, he's a great Jun Kasai type of dude and I'm super thrilled to see how it will go with him versus the Bloody Hand.
