*The fifth show of the Universal Champion singles league is upon us and no one is more excited then noted enthusiast "Mean" Jean Carter. She is currently SO excited that she's buying popcorn! Wait, she sees us!
Jean: "Hi *assorted popcorn chewing noises* UBL fans! I was just uh...buying popcorn for a fan! Yeah! I can't eat during work, after all!! What? What's that? Why was I eating that? No! Not at all, i was TASTING it to make sure it was top quality...which it is!! Now Ralberto, back to the studio!!"
*Which apparently is codespeak for the "center of the ring" which is where we are headed to see Centurion and Thunder Strike talking amongst themselves in anticipation of their match. Looks like Thunder Strike is on "Centurion-guarding" duty this week but he doesn't seem to mind as that's pretty much a freebie win...oh shit, I just TOTALLY exposed the business To the ring!"*
Match #1 - Thunder Strike vs. Centurion
The two shake hands and begin this exercise in futility. Seriously, who expects Thunder Strike to lose here? Centurion! That's who!! As he goes after his loose ally with all the might of the roman empire! Which isn't all that much, unfortunately for him, in the 21st century! Thunder Strike dodges Centurion's unwieldy attacks and then begins peppering him with kicks. Only thing is, Centurion's armor appears to be taking the brunt of the offense and notable welts are showing up on Thunder Strike's legs. Who the F*CK allowed someone to wear ARMOR to a wrestling ring? Where's OSHA when we need them!?
Thunder Strike begins to find out whatgenerations weeks of league wrestlers before him have: you have to be careful striking against Centurion. But Thunder Strike catches on a bit too late though as Centurion actually manages to mount a legitimate array of moves that MIGHT be confused as an actual showing of offense from the big guy! Huzzah Centurion! He uses his superior strength to throw Thunder Strike around...but miscalculates when he goes for a back body drop. Rather then extending Thunder Strike's momentum over his shoulders, he just attempts to let him drop to the ground. But that is just the room Thunder Strike needs to maneuver his body in mind air and twist into a dropkick on the way down! The dropkick was so accurate that it hits Centurion DIRECTLY in the middle of his face, avoiding the armor!
Centurion goes falling backwards as Thunder Strike uses this opportunity to run the ropes, and then measures Centurion for a picture perfect "Cacopho-knee" in the face of Centurion, again avoiding the helmet due to Thunder Strike's excellent precision striking. Thunder Strike goes for the pin but Centurion manages to kick out! Still, he looks quite woozy from the two huge kicks to the face. Who wouldn't? He gets up very slowly as Thunder Strike goes to the corner and waits for him to rise just a bit more! And maybe it would have been better for Centurion to stay down or simply roll away, because getting up on one knee was the WORST thing he could do here! Thunder Strike comes running in and hits the "Shining Echo" (Shining Rewind) and covers for the easy pinfall. 1..2..3..Thunder Strike wins!
Thunder Strike (O) [ "Shining Echo" - 7:50] (X) Centurion
*Thunder Strike helps Centurion up, dusts him off, and then slaps him on the back and mouths "Good effort". This seems to encourage Centurion who yells out: "Totus palma Pro Rome" (All glory for Rome) which the audience just kinda tries to ignore out of awkwardness. I mean, Centurion DID lose, after all. So uh, let's just get to the next match...things are just getting weird here.*
*And the next match has no weirdness but PLENTY of dastardlyness!! Wow, is that a word? Who cares!! Jack Dod doesn't waste his time worrying about dictionaries unless he's closing your nose in one! Ouch! That smarts!! Let's get to the ring as two heels of heeldom attempt to dig their heels into each other!*

*Nightmare put on an impressive display and even caught Jack Dod off balance with his explosive striking ability, making great use of Busaiku Knees as he has this entire league. However, eventually Jack Dod overtook him by focusing on Nightmare's leg, weakening it enough to counteract his striking AND make him tap out to the figure-four. After showing us how he could outsmart the ref and steal a victory last week, Jack showed us just how effective he can be when he wants to wrestle legit...well, with a generous supply of low blows mixed in..., as he now remains undefeated in this league!*
Jack Dod (O) ["Figure Four Leglock"- 17:21] (X) Nightmare
*Next, Naja Mask and Marauder come to the ring together which isn't out of the ordinary for most weeks except for the fact that THIS week the two are supposed to WRESTLE each other! Marauder gets into the ring but Naja circles to the outside, grabs a mic, and then goes up to Marauder.*
[Naja:] Pleassss listen to me. You are ssssstill in the running to win thissss league, I am not.
[Marauder:] I don't want to hear it, let's go already. I told you I won't let you lay down.
[Naja:] One of us MUSSSST win this league and embarrasssss OrochiGeesssss. It is too late for me but you ssssstill can. OrochiGeessss will have the easssy win tonight and sssso ssshall you.
[Marauder:] You ain't layin down for me, Naja.
[Naja:] Then we will have to do thissss the hard way.
Match #3 - Marauder vs. Naja Mask
After that odd exchange, Naja immediately goes out of the ring and just stands there, waiting for a count-out. But Marauder distracts the refree to stop him from counting. Naja screams out, picks up a chair, and gets back into the ring. The ref cautions him but Naja swings around the ref and attempts to hit Marauder with it but Marauder PUNCHES the chair out of Naja's hands, eliciting a loud pop from the crowd! Naja grins at the power and daring of his longtime partner and backs up a bit, considering his next move.
Marauder goes at him but Naja easily ducks between his legs and rolls out of the ring AGAIN. Marauder is starting to get angry as he wants a 1 on 1 wrestling match with no shenanigans. But you can't leave shenanigans off the menu when eating at Chez Naja! (that was terrible). Finally, Naja gets back into the ring and seems to have an idea. He walks up, shakes Marauder's hand and then begins circling the ring. It looks like we're gonna FINALLY get our wrestling match between these two! No more delays!
Naja goes right up to the Marauder and begins hitting him with rather weak chops. Are they weak by design or just weak against the mountain of the man known as Marauder? That is unclear as of now. But after not getting anywhere close to weakening (or even pushing back) Marauder with the chops, Naja then runs to the opposite ropes and attempts a Thesz Press which Marauder easily catches in a bearhug. But wait!
*POISON MIST!*
Naja hit the poison mist! Marauder is blinded and begins stumbling backwards. Naja takes this opportunity to sweep Marauder and then applies a Rear Naked Choke...but with Naja on the bottom!! Marauder seems unable to get out of it for the moment and Naja stretches so that his own shoulders touch the mat! This was a calculated decision as he urges the referee to count him down for the pin!! The ref gets the 3 count on Naja and Marauder is victorious despite not being responsible for his own victory!
Marauder (O) [Pinfall- 2:15] (X) Naja Mask
*Naja rolls out of the ring as an angry Marauder attempts to clear his eyes of the mist. Naja screams out: "You'll thank me for thisssss later old friend." and begins leaving the ringside area.*
*After much booing from the crowd, the Battle-Tron comes to life and we see OrochiGeese speaking with Flip Staley. This calms down the crowd a bit, but not before they pelt Naja Mask with garbage*
[Orochi Geese:] Mr. Staley, I trust you understand
what is to happen out there - despite your reputation
for not... playing well with others... you've been a
remarkably astute personage.
[Flip Staley:] As long as the pay is right, I play by
the rules. I told you that up front.
[Geese:] You also said something about wanting to have
the freedom to do as you wish... carte blanche is not
necessarily my style, but outside of sexually
harrassing a reporter or two, you've been good.
Prepare for your match, Staley... or don't. The rest
of the league shall see how I am supposed to be honored!
*Geese walks away with a proud look in his eyes*
*Brief commercial break for OG-Joshi Amplitude!*
*And we're back and ready for a huge match between two up and coming crowd pleasers, Nick Strife and Jason Hyde! Both of these men actually had similar experiences in the previous show as they each faced off and lost against two of the men picked as top favorites to win the league. Nick Strife was beaten by his mentor and legend, Twinky McLanahan, while Jason Hyde lost to his more recent acquaintance and loose ally, Thunder Strike. Both of these guys now have a lot to prove but only one of them can get the win tonight. While they have no hostility towards each other, they both are going to have to push hard to get a victory here as each man is quite hungry and poised to show how far they have come!*

Nick Strife (O) ["Vice Grip" - 23:26] (X) Jason Hyde
*Both men shake hands after the match as its certain that a mutual respect was gained, if not furthered, from this match. These two took everything each other had for so long but finally Nick was able to put Jason away with a very high impact Tiger Bomb whip followed by his Vice Grip finisher.*
*And it's time for the next match! Flip Staley comes out first, looking rugged and down-to-business as usual. OrochiGeese then makes his grand entrance and has one of the most pompous looks on his faces we've ever seen. He's radiating ego and power and the fans are NOT liking it one bit. They know that Geese has talked Flip into laying down for him and this is infuriating everyone else in the UBL. To further guarantee his victory, OrochiGeese calls down Drake Yoshida as the referee. Odds stacked much?*
Match #5 - OrochiGeese vs. Flip Staley
OG decides to approach Flip and touches gloves with him but not without making Yoshida yell: "Let's get it on!". Then OG begins dancing around like a boxer while Flip watches him stoically as Drake looks on, waiting for the other shoe to drop. Flip then seems to take OG up on this charade with a grin and begins "floating like a buttergoose and stinging like a bee". The fans are quite loud in their discontent for this mockery as neither man is even giving the illusion that this will be a real competitive match. Finally, Geese looks like he's just about had enough of mocking the fans with his predestined glory and fires a very very very very very very light gingerly jab into the stomach of Flip. Flip's eyes open wide as it looks like he was hit by a freaking BUS and goes down. OG turns around and begins celebrating as Drake begins counting Flip down. Geese doesn't see it, cause he has turned around to face the fans, but Drake nary gets to a 1 count.
What Geese DOES see is nothing more then a blur. Because as soon as Geese turns around to see how far Drake has gotten in the count, the shocking sight hits him like a left handed missile from a VERY poised professional fighter. FLIP IS UP AND IS FIGHTING BACK!! Geese gets sent hurtling down to the mat from the haymaker impact straight of Flip and Flip follows up with some ole fashioned ground n' pound! Drake Yoshida panics as he sees Geese's eyes glazing over and his total inability to defend himself! Not knowing what else to do, Drake signals for the bell and tries to throw Flip off Geese. But Flip doesn't leave or stop raining blows upon Geese until he hears himself declared as the winner by the ring announcer.
Flip Staley (O) ["Ground'n' pound TKO" - 1:30] (X) OrochiGeese
*The fans are roaring in approval for Flip Staley who either outsmarted Geese from the start or got a last minute reserve of PRIDE. But in any case, Geese was not prepared for Flip to break their deal...nor was he prepared to get hammered in the face some twenty times. Flip gets the hell out of there as ring security runs down to apprehend him while the medical staff helps a woozy Geese backstage. The fans are shouting: "You got FLIP'D" which is as good a chant as any, really, and far superior to: "You got Staley'd" which doesn't have that same token ring to it.*
And now we come to the main event and one of the most anticipated matches of the entire league. The last time Twinky and Bak Fu wrestled each other was during the second McPro "Navigation with something compass like" show. Due to the events of that evening, their match was never actually FINISHED though.
A lot has taken place in the careers of both men since then but the memory of that match being incomplete must not sit well with either of them. And now they finally have a chance to get a decisive ending to that match and mark yet another point their longstanding legendary rivalry. However, it can be said that one of these men are approaching this match with a bit more urgency and, yes, even ANGER, then the other one due to the events of the previous show. Whereas Twinky McLanahan was victorious over his apprentice, Nick Strife, in the main event of that show, Bak Fu suffered a setback. Despite having control over Jack Dod toward the end of the match, Bak lost due to Jack tricking the referee into DQ'ing him cause of a chair Jack tossed into his hands when the ref wasn't looking. Furthermore, Twinky McLanahan is undefeated in this league whereas Bak is one and three after being forced to compete under one of the hardest schedules of any man in this league. So this is a crucial match for Bak. But we also can't discount the fact that Twinky has been neck-and-neck with Jack Dod throughout this league and aims to keep his own undefeated streak intact to counteract Jack's victory tonight. Plus, Twinky has as much desire as Bak does to get a decisive victory over the other after what happened at NAVI-2. So with all this in mind, and an absolute tense silence from the crowd...let's get to our main event!*

*The crowd is on their feet for the effort of both men in what has a very strong chance of being named the match of the league up to this point! After nearly 30 minutes of action, Bak Fu finally makes Twinky McLanahan tap out...or is that, PASS out...due to the Last Breath Buffalo Sleeper! I can't see Twinky tapping out in a match like this against such a heated rival, and after the beating both these men gave each other, it looks like Twinky's body gave out even though his spirit stayed strong. Bak Fu picks up a HUGE win against a top opponent and Twinky finally suffers his first loss of the league.
Bak Fu (O) ["Last Breath" - 28:24] (X) Twinky McLanahan
That of course leaves Jack Dod as the leader in the league, and an undefeated one, but for how long? Especially given that his opponent in the next show in the main event is none other then...
OrochiGeese.
We'll see you next week folks as the next round of Universal Champion league action comes at you with fire and brimstone as the two summoners of chaos, Geese and Jack Dod, square off!!
