Jet Jaguar & Takao Nakami versus Aztex Blaze & Redd Pike
PJW/NWC, date unknown

CR:  Fans, we've just received word that due to time constraints, and the importance of the NWC World Tag Title match, that the Kashan Akuma/Blade Piceno match will take place on next weeks program.

RT:  what more do they want from Akuma?  They wanted him to drop his brash ways and he did and now they yank him from TV and move him to next week?

CR:  I'm sure Mr. Akuma and Blade aren't upset, it simply means they'll have more time to showcase their talents next week.  So with that in mind fans, its time for our featured bout, as Jet Jaguar & Takao Nakami challenge Redd Pike & Aztex Blaze.


RT:  That's right..  Normally I don't like Jaguar and Nakami, since they're so square, but tonight, there's no doubt in my mind they're gonna take it to that Drunken Indian blaze, and his dimwitted partner Pike!

CR:  Show a little respect!  Fans we're ready to go to the ring for what's sure to be a classic.

[shot cuts to Sato in center ring...]

Sato:  The following contest is sanctioned by Pro Japan Wrestling, in conjunction with the National Wrestling Council, with the supervision of the Tokyo Puroresu & Shooto Sport Commission.  AND is for the National Wrestling Council, World Tag Team Championships!!!

[The crowd pops huge]

Sato:  It is scheduled for one fall, 30 minute time limit... Introducing first... The challengers...

[A small built man makes his way slowly towards the ring, surveying the crowd, and shaking the hands of the fans.  He wears a dark blue ring mask similar to that of the Great Sasuke.  He wears a pair of dark blue, leg length tights with "Takao Nakami" in English on one leg, and in Japanese on the other leg.  He wears a light weight, dark blue, ring robe to the ring.  It reads "TAKAO NAKAMI" in big letters on the back, and has the picture of a Tiger printed in the middle of the robe, just underneath his name.]

Sato:  Hailing from Tokyo, Japan, standing 5 feet, 9 inches, and weighing in at 195 pounds... TAKAO NAKAMI!

[the crowd cheers super loud]

CR:  WHAT A POP!

Sato:  And his partner...

["Jet Jaguar" by Neon Bushido plays over the PA and a dry ice mist rolls out from the entrance way as multi-colored lights shine through the fog.  A clean cut man, with an athletic build, and a powerful looking upper body, and well muscled legs, makes his way from the entrance way and raises his hands to the cheers of the crowd.  He wears full length, black tights with a gold sash around his waist.  "Jet Jaguar" is written down the right side in kanji script and written down the left leg in English lettering.  He wears black boots with silver shingaurds over the top.  He wears a gold mask, with black extensions around the sides and ending as points on either side, forming a V.  The mask covers his entire head with openings for the eyes and mouth and a slit under the nose.  The mask is also black around the eyes and mouth and at the back wear it ties.  He wears a gold and black cape to the ring.  He strides quickly to the ring, slapping hands with the fans as he does so.  He leaps up onto the apron, and raises his fist to the fans (Jet's personal sign for Tiger Kikuchi's Team Tiger) and then turns, and slingshots over the top rope into the ring.]

Sato:  From Nagoya, Japan, standing 5 feet, 8 inches, and weighing in at 190 pounds... JET JAGUAR!!!

[tremendous pop]

Sato:  And their opponents...They are the current National Wrestling Council Tag Team Champions of the World!...

["Pipeline" by Anthrax plays over the PA system as Pike and Aztex Blaze make their way to the ring accompanied by their friend Psimon.  Aztex Blaze wears a cloak made of colorful feathers, colorful trunks, and a gold cross around his neck.  He wears his World Tag Team Title around his waist.  Pike wears his usual open Hawaiian shirt, checkerboard vans and denim shorts.  His hands are taped and he has blue waves painted under his eyes.  He wears his belt over his shoulder.  Pike walks to the ring a chipper mood, working the crowd up.  Upon entering the ring Pike climbs the corner turnbuckle and appeals to the audience.  Blaze holds his cross and gives a little prayer.  He then stands in the corner on the middle turnbuckle and holds his belt up for the crowd.]

Sato:  Hailing from San Antonio, Texas and Honolulu, Hawaii respectively... Weighing in at a combined weight of 475 pounds... AZTEX BLAZE AND REDD PIKE!!!

[some of the crowd give Blaze and Pike a round of applause while others boo]

CR:  This match promises to be a classic.  By the numbers Blaze & Pike out weigh Jaguar & Nakami by 90 pounds... But what they like in size they make up for in quickness.

RT:  And heart!!!

CR:  In the front row, here to support their stable mates of the Four Corners of greatness are Eugene "Sparks" Robinson, "Confident" Lawrence Williams, and the NWC World Champion, White Tiger!

RT:  They had best stay on that side of the rail!

[And four men come to center ring and shake hands...]

CR:  Fans there's the bell and we're ready to get this history making bout under way.  It looks like Aztex Blaze will start for his team while Jet Jaguar will start for his team.

[Jaguar and Blaze come to center ring and circle before locking up.  Blaze pushes Jaguar back to the ropes and the ref calls for the clean break, Blaze does so.]

CR:  Great sportsmanship on the part of Blaze.  This promises to be a clean match-up.

[Jaguar shoots Blaze off into the ropes, but Blaze shoulder blocks Jaguar to the mat.  Blaze then shoots off the ropes and Jaguar drops underneath.  As Blaze rebounds off the ropes Jaguar attempts a leapfrog but Blaze catches him and goes for an atomic drop but Jaguar counters with an arm drag that sends Blaze through the ropes and to the floor.  The crowd applauds.]

RT:  What we're seeing is the feeling out process.  Neither team wants to make the first mistake.

[Jaguar allows Blaze to make it back into the ring and they lock up again.  Blaze controls with an arm bar but Jaguar rolls through and reverses it into an arm bar of his own.  Jaguar then pushes Blaze back against the ropes and tags in Nakami before shooting Blaze to the opposite side ropes.  As Blaze comes off Nakami and Jaguar both hit dropkicks to the knee, with Nakami hitting the right, and Jaguar hitting the left.  Blaze goes to the mat holding both knees as the crowd 'ahs']

CR:  Terrific double teaming by Jaguar & Nakami and that's what its gonna take if they're gonna get the job done tonight, and take the NWC World Tag Titles.

[Nakami reaches for Blaze's leg, but Blaze pushes him off and slides over into his corner, tagging in Pike.  Pike comes in and he and Nakami circle before locking up.]

CR:  We'll get a chance to see how Takao will be able to compete with the larger Pike.

RT:  If my math's right... Nakami is giving up 60 pounds!

[Nakami and Pike lock-up center-ring.  Pike controls with a high hip toss on Nakami.  Nakami comes to his feet clutching his back, but shakes it off and comes to center ring.  Nakami and Pike lock-up again.  Nakami drops to his knees and uses a fireman's carry to take the larger Pike to the mat.]

CR:  Great strategy on Nakami's part, as he used Pike's weight advantage against him in that scenario.

[Nakami controls Pike on the mat with an arm bar.  Pike slowly fights his way to his feet and then shoots Nakami to the ropes.  Pike attempts a back body drop but Nakami lands on his feet.  Pike turns around and is surprised to find Nakami on his feet.  Pike charges towards Nakami and is met with a hard arm drag takedown into cross arm breaker.]

CR:  So far I think its fair to say that Nakami has had the better of this exchange, which some would consider a surprise Ricki.

RT:  Those would be the same people that don't give Jaguar and Nakami a chance in hell of walking out with these belts.  Those would be the stupid Americans not familiar with the technical Japanese style.

[Nakami wrenches on Pike's arm and in pain Pike slides over into the reach of the ropes, grabs the bottom rope, causing Nakami to break the hold.  Pike comes to his feet and shakes his arm out trying to loosen it back up.  Pike comes forward to attempt to lock-up with Nakami but Nakami steps under his arm and floats over into a snap DDT that takes Pike hard to the mat.  The crowd 'ahs']

CR:  Textbook DDT by Nakami and now he's going to the top!

[Nakami heads through the ropes and steps onto the top rope...]

CR:  SENTON SPLASH!!  1...2..KICKOUT!  We were half a count away from new World champs!

RT:  Boy, I bet those guys in the NWC front office were about to wet their pants on that one.  I think its pretty clear they're less than excited about the idea of a Japanese man representing their title in "America".  We not only make better cards, but better wrestlers as well!

CR:  Clam down and call the match Ricki!

[Nakami brings Pike to his feet and struggles, but is finally able to sit Pike on the top rope in the Jaguar/Nakami corner.  Nakami climbs to the top and hooks Pike in superplex fashion.  Instead of attempting the superplex he tags in Jaguar who comes to the top rope as well.  Both men hook Pike in superplex position and the crowd pops in anticipation...]

RT:  There goes the weight advantage huh?

CR:  Jaguar and Nakami are looking for a double superplex!

[Jaguar and Nakami snap Pike into the air but are unable to bring Pike over.  Pike falls back into a sitting position on the top rope.  Jaguar and Nakami look for the superplex again but can't get it.  Pike comes to a standing position...]

CR:  GOOD LORD!  Pike... He's gonna try and suplex both men to the floor!

[The crowd comes to its feet in excitement as Pike attempts to bring both men up but he is unable to.  He breaks free from the suplex position and lands a headbutt on Nakami that knocks him off the turnbuckle, over the top rope, and to the floor.  Pike then chops Jaguar in the chest which doubles him over....]

CR:  Nakami is out on the floor and now what is Pike looking for?

[Pike grabs the doubled over Jaguar by the waist and hits a powerbomb form the top.  The crowd gasps as Jaguar hits the mat doubled over.  Pike falls to the mat as well in exhaustion...]

CR:  Jaguar is out!  Nakami is out!  And Pike is exhausted from their struggle on the top!

RT:  Its gonna be a foot race to see who makes it to their feet first.

[Jaguar rolls over to his knees with his head down and Pike comes to his feet slowly and leans on the ropes as Nakami makes it back to the ring apron.  Jaguar crawls towards the corner very slowly, looking to tag in Nakami, who has had time to regroup on the floor.  Pike sees Jaguar crawling for the corner and dives for his corner tagging in a fresh Aztex Blaze.]

CR:  HOT TAG TO BLAZE!

RT:  COME ON JET!

[Jaguar reaches out and tags Nakami just as Blaze gets within reach of Jaguar.  Nakami comes in with a springboard Missile dropkick that sends Blaze to the mat.  Nakami comes to his feet quickly as does Blaze.  Nakami shoots off the ropes and goes for a springboard moonsault, but Blaze catches him and hits a tombstone piledriver.]

CR:  1...2..KICKOUT!  Near fall for Blaze after he caught Takao's quebrada and countered with a tombstone.

RT:  The pace is picking up and that nasty drunken American is going to the top rope!

[Blaze steps through the ropes and begins to climb to the top...]

CR:  Nakami and Blaze have both had battles with alcohol, and are both successfully recovered.

RT:  do you have to air dirty laundry here on national TV?

[Blaze comes from the top and nails Nakami with an elbow smash.]

CR:  1...2..KICKOUT!

RT:  Its gonna take more than that to break Nakami's spirit!

[Blaze lands a kick to Nakami's jaw before going to the top rope.  On his way to the top he slips, before going onto the top.  Blaze goes for a legdrop from the top but Nakami moves just in the nick of time...]

CR:  NOBODY HOME!

RT:  He took too much time setting it up!

CR:  And that will only serve to further weaken Blaze's knees which took some hard shots early on...

[Nakami rolls to his knees and gather his senses before tagging in Jaguar.  Jaguar comes in, brings Blaze to his feet, and backs him to the corner.  Jaguar delivers a series of side kicks to the ribs and knees before shooting Blaze across the ring and into the corner hard.  Jaguar follows him in at full speed with a running shotay palm strike to the head...]

CR:  What impact on that palm strike one of Jaguar's signatures.

RT:  He's got that lousy American right where he wants him now!

[Jaguar delivers several hard chops to Blaze's chest as the crowd 'whoos'.  Jaguar then shoots Blaze to the opposite corner and follows him in with a spinning Leg Lariat that takes Jaguar over the top rope and to the apron as the crowd 'ahs'.  Jaguar then quickly springs to the top rope and hits a springboard dropkick to the back of Blaze's head as he falls out of the corner.  The crowd 'ohs' as Blaze drops to his knees from the blow and then goes face first toe the mat.  Jaguar rolls him over for a cover...]

CR:  1...2...NO!  Only two!  Jaguar's is on a roll off that terrific offense series.

[Jaguar comes to his feet and grabs Blaze's leg.  Jaguar falls to the mat with a leg bar as Blaze grimaces in pain.  Jaguar reaches back and tags in Nakami while still holding the leg bar on Blaze.  Nakami shoots off the ropes and jumps in the air delivering a double foot stomp to Blaze's knee.  The crowd 'ahs'...]

RT:  Nakami must be looking to take the tag titles as well as end blaze's career!

[Blaze lays on the mat in pain as Nakami grabs him and pulls him to his feet.  Blaze has trouble standing, and Nakami takes him down with a heel trip and then rolls over the top wrenching Blaze's leg.  As Blaze clutches his leg, Nakami comes to his feet and drags Blaze over to the Jaguar/Nakami corner.  Nakami then applies the figure four which draws a small 'whoo' from the crowd.  Blaze winces in pain as he is just out of reach of the ropes.  Nakami reaches back and tags in Jaguar.  Jaguar springs to the top rope and hits a summersault legdrop onto Blaze's knee, while Nakami has the figure 4 applied.  Blaze sits up in pain.  The ref makes Nakami break the hold to leave the ring and Nakami does so.  Jaguar takes over on offense.]

CR:  Very smooth, cohesive team work by Jaguar and Nakami in this match-up.

RT:  What else did you expect?  These two have quite a history together.

[Jaguar brings Blaze to his feet and pushes him to the ropes.  Jaguar charges with a lariat attempt but Blaze ducks and back body drops Jaguar to the floor.  Blaze drops to his knees in pain.  Due to the PJW lucha rules this allows Nakami to come into the ring.  Nakami charges in and shoots off the opposite side ropes and goes for a baseball slide on Blaze, but Blaze rolls out of the way and Nakami slides under the bottom rope and hits face first on the apron.]

CR:  Here's Blaze chance to make the tag..

RT:  Jet's stirring..  Come on Jet!

[Pike encourages Blaze as he crawls on his hands and knees towards his corner.  ON The outside Jaguar and Nakami begin to stir and both of them slide back into the ring, confused about which of them is the legal man.  Blaze reaches out and hot tags Pike in but is unable to make it out of the ring himself.  Pike comes in and is met by jaguar and Nakami.  Pike charges and they both side step him and shoot Pike to the ropes.  As Pike comes off Jaguar and Nakami go for a double back elbow but miss and shoot of the ropes themselves.  As Pike comes off the ropes he takes both men down with a double lariat.]

CR:  what a move by Pike!  He's a house of fire!

RT:  I think I need to help this ref get control of this one!

[Blaze comes to his feet limping and picks up a dazed Jaguar.  Blaze throws him to the corner and begins to stomp away.  meanwhile Pike grabs Nakami and hits a powerbomb into pin.]

CR:  1...2...KICKOUT!  Near fall for Pike & Blaze at the 18 minute mark!

RT:  The ref has to get control here!

[Jaguar and Blaze continue to slug it out in the corner with Blaze getting the best of the battle.  Blaze goes for a haymaker, but Jaguar ducks, spins Blaze around and hits an atomic drop.  Blaze falls forwards and turns around with a kick attempt which Jaguar catches.  But Blaze counters with an enzuigiri that rocks the back of Jaguar's head sending him forward and into the ref, and then falling lifeless to the mat.  The ref is knocked out from the inadvertent strike from Jaguar.  Blaze falls to the mat as well in pain from his leg.]

CR:  The refs down!  Jaguar is down!  Blaze is down!  its carnage!

[Meanwhile Pike comes back to his feet, somewhat frustrated that he hasn't been able to put Nakami away.  Pike calls to Blaze to come to his feet, and Blaze struggles to his feet and positions himself on the outside of the ring.  Pike brings Nakami to his feet and shoots him to the ropes.  Pike catches Nakami on his way off with a tilt-a-world backbreaker.  As Pike hits the back breaker, Blaze struggles to hit a springboard summersault legdrop onto Nakami as he is stretched out across Pike's knee.  The crowd 'ahs' as Nakami falls to the mat.  Blaze instinctively makes a cover.]

CR:  Blaze has a cover but there's no ref to count the fall!  If your pulling for Jaguar and Nakami its a good thing there's no ref, or that may have been the end!

RT:  Jaguar is coming to his feet!

[While Blaze and Pike are occupied with Nakami and the ref (or lack there of), Jaguar slowly makes his way to his feet and stalks his opponents from behind.  Pike loses his temper and begins to stomp away on Nakami.  Blaze attempts to clam him down but is not very successful at stopping his attack.  Jaguar charges from behind and hits a spin wheel kick to the back of Pike's head that sends him through the ropes and to the floor.  Blaze lunges at Jaguar with a lariat, but Jaguar ducks and Blaze hits his head over the second turnbuckle in the corner.]

CR:  what a match-up fans!  With 9 minutes remaining on the time limit, its anyone's match!

[Jaguar brings a groggy Aztex Blaze to his feet and hits a shoulder breaker before heading to the top rope.  Jaguar comes off and hits Blaze with a twisting summersault legdrop... He makes the cover...]

CR:  JAGUAR SPECIAL!  there's the cover..  But there's no ref!

RT:  I'm gonna go count the fall!

CR:  Sit down!

[Nakami comes to his feet and attempts to revive the ref, but he is unsuccessful.  Out of the corner of his eye, Nakami notices Pike stirring on the outside.  Just as Pike makes it to the apron, Nakami charges him and hits a handspring moonsault over the top rope and into Pike, but he glances off Pike and falls hard to the floor while Pike hangs on and steps back in the ring.]

CR:  MY GOD!  NAKAMI MAY BE DEAD ON THE OUTSIDE!

RT:  He may he glad he's wearing that mask after this one!

[As Pike re-enters the ring Jaguar comes to his feet and goes after him.  They lock up and Pike controls with a waist lock go behind.  Mean while the ref has made it to his knees and is shaking out the cobwebs and Blaze lies in the corner clutching his knees.  Pike hits a German suplex and rolls over the top and hits another with a bridge..  the ref groggily drops to the mat for the count...]

CR:  Rolling German suplex!  1...2...KICKOUT!

[The crowd 'ahs' at the "false" finish]

RT:  The ref picked a great time to come to!

[Pike rolls to his feet and Jaguar rolls to his knees.  Pike bows in appreciation of Jaguar kicking out of the rolling German suplex.  On the outside of the ring Nakami is making it to his feet and slowly makes it to the ring apron.  In the corner Blaze has made it to a standing position and is leaning against the top turnbuckle.  The ref is now standing doubled over trying to catch his breath in front of Blaze.  Pike sees Nakami making it to the apron, and charges with a flying shoulder block that knocks Nakami to the floor.  But Nakami hooks Pike's arm and takes him as well.  Nakami crashes hard to the floor while Pike braces his fall.  In the ring Jaguar charges the corner that blaze is in but Aztex Blaze catches him with a side kick.  Blaze then climbs to the top rope in pain and sits down.  He reaches out and grabs Jaguar pulling him over for his swinging DDT from the top...]

CR:  BLAZE IS LOOKING FOR THE AZTEX SACRIFICE!  THIS WILL BE ALL!

[Blaze jumps from the top going for the DDT but Jaguar blocks it and hits a atomic drop.  On the outside of the ring Nakami and Pike brawl around the ringside area exchanging punches and chops.]

RT:  COUNTER!

[Jaguar goes to the sitting position on the top rope and pulls Blaze over...]

CR:  AZTEX SACRIFICE BY JAGUAR!

RT:  BRILLIANT!!!

[Jaguar and Blaze both lay in center ring with neither man moving very much.  The ref has his attention on Nakami and Pike who are brawling around the ringside area.]

CR:  3 minutes left in this match-up!  Its do or die time!

RT:  Come Jaguar!  Look at Nakami and Pike go!

CR:  There's a cover by Jaguar!

RT:  NOBODY'S THERE TO COUNT IT!!!!!!

[Jaguar comes to his feet and goes to outside of the ropes and stands on the apron in the middle of the ropes waiting for Blaze to come to his feet.  As Blaze slowly comes to his feet jaguar springs to the top rope and hits a flying cross body block but his momentum carries him through and Blaze struggles to hold him to the mat..]

CR:  Another cover but the ref is busy with Nakami and Pike!

RT:  1 and half minutes to go!

[Jaguar kicks out of the pinfall attempt and both men come to their feet.  Jaguar shoots Blaze to the ropes (on the side of the ring that Nakami and Pike are brawling on) but Blaze hangs on to the ropes.  Jaguar charges and hits a spin wheel kick that takes Blaze over the top and causes him to land on Nakami and Pike, but all three remain in a standing position.  Jaguar lands sitting on the apron.  The ref gets in between the Nakami, Pike, and Blaze to break them up but as he does Jet Jaguar hits an Asia moonsault onto Nakami, Pike, Blaze, and the ref.  The crowd ahs...]

CR:  Oh my god its a train wreck!  All 4 wrestlers and the official are laid out on the floor!

RT:  30 seconds to go!

CR:  No one is moving!  My god I wonder if they're be friends after this?  There's the bell!  Lets get the official decision but I think we've got a draw!

Sato:  This match, is a 30 minute time limit draw!  Therefore, Redd Pike and Aztex Blaze are STILL National Wrestling Council World Tag Team Champions!!!

RT:  They're lucky we ran out of time!

[All 4 men and the ref lay on the floor in a pile.  The credits begin to roll on half of the screen as medics can be seen coming to check out the ref, Nakami, Jaguar, Pike, and Blaze.]

CR:  Fans, we're out of time, what a match!  We'll see you next week on Warrior spirits!!!
