Big in Japan (o2a)

[Hitomi Takamura]

„Konichiwa … N.i.N“

These are the first few words I speak out after I have walked out on the stage with a microphone in my hand. It comes quite handy to have such a microphone or the people in this huge arena might not be able to hear me at all. A smile crosses my lips as I walk down the ramp, while I continue to speak.

“Konichiwa Tokyo, Japan, … the hometown from this little warrior, who goes by the name of Takamura Hitomi.”

“Which is of course myself … the proud warrior of the Naked is Nice movement which has just started to invade TNB. Yes it is an invasion and yes I also know that I am overdressed at the current time as I am wearing my wrestling attire and not my birthday suit. But … there is a reason for it.”

I smile once more as I reach the ring and jump at the apron, I quickly step through the ropes and climb the nearest Turnbuckle to continue my little speech.

“The reason is simple … I got booked to fight tonight and as they told me in the back … your next … I figured why not come out ready for the fight. I might want to add … its management decision that I have to wear clothes while I am performing in this ring. … Management you know … Ah well.”

“So as a descent of a proud Japanese warrior family, as a member of … no wait let me rephrase this. As Leader of the N.i.N movement I demand somebody from the back to come out here and face me tonight in this ring. I know I probably should do a 10 minute promo why I am superior and better then everyone else, but I will just skip this part so that my fans … my folk … can see wrestling … and not sports entertainment. So who shall it be? “

[Yasha Onihime]

Yasha's music plays and she walks out in the arena. The crowd was cheering for her and she waved at them and kept on down to the ring.

She got to the ring and got inside, and waved to the fans some more. She was so happy about her last match and what it meant to her and everybody in TNB. But she was out here to greet Hitomi and to offer a hand in friendship too.

"“Konichiwa Hitomi Takamura, I would like to welcome you to the TNB and say that it is honor to stand with you here in our home of Japan in front of the fans here on this night."

"I am excited to be with fellow countrymen Hitomi here now in the TNB and I feel like we can give our fans here what it is very hard to find anywhere in the world. Real wrestling match.

Cheers from the crowd started and chants about Hitomi & Yasha. Yasha smiled at Hitomi and kept on talking.

"So I am asking to face you in a match here tonight. An honorable match. I have took out one member of money maker inc for one month and we need to celebrate we not have to see her ugly face anymore for a while. Hitomi vs Yasha yes?"

[Hitomi Takamura]

Turning my head from one side to the other as I watch the appearance of a fellow country woman, I am waiting till she has entered the ring and finished her little speech. While I am listing to her words, I take a closer look at her to judge how much of a challenge she might be. That she is from Japan, puts her on the top of the challenge list that I have made up for myself when I sort wrestlers from the lands they are from. Japan and Mexico are at the top of that list, so being careful in the match and not to try to get overconfident like in my last match is essential for me to put out a win. I nod with my head and raise the microphone.

“Well spoken and yes … I would be interesting to face you in a wrestling match, Joshi Style.”

Loud cheers start to pop up from the fans in the arena as I just mention the Japanese word with that female wrestlers are associate in my country. A smile is shown on my face as I reach out with my hand to offer it for a handshake like its common usage in the American Culture to show the American Fans at home what this talking is all about by a simple gesture of respect.

“So I happily accept this match and wish you good luck.”

[Yasha Onihime]

"I wish you the same Hitomi Takamura. It will be an honor."

Yasha shook Hitomi's hand and smiled to her. After that Yasha got out of the ring and made her way up the ramp with her music playing in the arena. Tonight she would have opponent who knows what respect and honor is. It was gonna be a good match to see.
