When it comes to Extreme in professional wrestling, you can't get much crazier than Frontier Martial Arts Wrestling out of Japan. Believe me, I know, I've been working that circuit for the past three years as the new Leatherface. It ain't much of a gig, but my options in the States were drying up and I gotta admit, the Japanese fans love seeing the big American guys like me.
FMW has always been a pioneer in Extreme wrestling, but over the last couple of years, the bosses here have been exploring whole new areas of what Extreme is. We been getting out of stuff like the exploding-ring death matches and doing stuff that's just plain rude and disgusting. Like I said, it ain't much of a gig, at least not until recently.
A little while ago the boss, Mr Fuyuki, came up to me with a new idea for the ring, a little something involving the valet of my "arch-enemy" Masato Tanaka. When he first told me of the idea I thought he was nuts, the sleazy bastard'd gone totally around the bend. But then I thought about it for a week, and then disussed it with Masato and his valet Kimiko, and she seemed to be willing to do it. And I gotta admit, running this angle with a babe like Kimiko wasn't exactly that unappealing either.
So here we were, getting ready to do this at this tiny little arena in Ashikaga. It was a nothing little hole with less than 200 in attendance. I seen bigger crowds at the Pineville High School gym back when I was doing the indies there. But I give this for the locals here, they keep their places clean. And that's alot more than I can say for some of the shitholes I worked in the states. And while the crowd may be small here, today they were gonna get a show they'd never forget.
The match started out pretty much as usual. I got my mask on and hit the ring, then Masato and Kimiko came to the ring. Me and Masa started off right before the bell, hitting each other with everything we could get our hands on, swinging the momentum of the match back and forth for about five minutes. Then it was time for the real show to begin. Outside the ring I shot Masato into the ringpost, then followed that up with a chairshot to the head. Then while he was laying there, trying to shake it off, I rolled him back into the ring, pulled a pair of handcuffs from out of hiding, and cuffed him to the turnbuckle. The crowd was really getting into it now, Masato was at my mercy and everybody knew it. I smacked him a couple more times with the chair, and then it was Kimikos cue to get in.
