WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP - PART 1
Just as Kid said, the first World Championship was about to be held. It was a dream come true, a huge event where the top wrestlers in the world would face each other.
Preliminary matches would be held in sixteen countries, with the sixteen winners gathering at Wembley Stadium, in London, to determine the world's strongest fighter.
Its announcement electrified the wrestling business. For the first time in a long time, the eyes of the world were fixated on pro wrestling....
The preliminaries were about to begin.
The Saber was considered to be the most likely wrestler to top the fifth block. Sumisu was, of course, put against this carnivorous beast in his first match.
His fighting style was based around completely destroying his opponents. He was the only wrestler to successfully leave his mark on both Japanese and American mats.
However, he was fed up with the politics of American pro wrestling. Saber had almost reached his boiling point.
Sumisu was trapped in a cage with a 'hungry lion'.
The Saber was about to blow up. He let out a roar of excitement...
SUMISU: "Thanks for being here, Under. You came to be my second even though you also got in the preliminaries.... I appreciate that."
UNDERGROUND: "It's no problem.... I've got time. Block 3 is easy....... Don't worry about it."
SUMISU: "........ I expected no less, Grave Digger. You've gotta meet me in the finals, Under. Make sure you get there!"
UNDERGROUND: ".. Saber is strong, don't let your guard down."
SUMISU: "Huh? What are you talking about, Under? I'm not gonna lose to Saber."
UNDERGROUND: "Sumisu.... Don't underestimate him."
SUMISU: "Hey now, you're my second, you're supposed to cheer me up! Hahaha, don't worry about me, I feel a new power rushing through my body. I'm filled with energy.........."
UNDERGROUND: "Sumisu.......... Something's... not right."
UNDERGROUND: "Sumisu, this is dangerous...."
SUMISU: "Didn't you see me, Under? I can do this! Ahh, I'm absolutely filled with energy. I have no idea where it's coming from."
UNDERGROUND: "............"
SUMISU: "Don't get mad, Under. ... Something's changed within me. I feel like I'm on a mission. ... Like I've lived my whole life to reach this moment."
SUMISU: "Something new has sparked within me. Watch me, and see my life shine."
UNDERGROUND: ".... Saber's more resilient than you think, make sure he doesn't outlast you...."
SUMISU: "............"
Macho Saber showed up in his gaudy suit. There were as many psychedelic wrestlers as there were stars in the sky, but he was the one who shone the brightest.
His 'Macho Saber Brand' was a worldwide phenomenon. His performance was top notch. He was one of the few wrestlers that were universally revered.
Thanks to his unique performance, he slowly built up the foundation of his 'Macho World' by captivating the hearts of his fans. He was the kind of fighter you could not look away from....
UNDERGROUND: "The path we walk..... is that of endless struggle. May we meet again."
SUMISU: "It's been a long and arduous journey, but we've almost reached our Promised Land. ..... I'll see you at the finals, Under."
SUMISU: "Our path began at Wakamoto Dojo.... and now, the end's in sight."
UNDERGROUND: "...... That's the fate of us warriors. We're pathetic creatures, who give up their souls to the fight."
SUMISU: "We swam past the point of no return. I see the lights of many harbors, but which light should we follow.....? We'll have to decide that for ourselves."
The hall suddenly turned to an oriental mood. As the air was filled by the beating of taiko drums, The 'Yokai Ninja', Brade Musha, true to his name, dropped from the ceiling and onto the ring! The audience cheered at his flashy performance.
He was a masterful entertainer, one who embodied the idea of Japanesque better than most of his American contemporaries. Was the audience nothing more than a field of cabbages to him?
Whenever Musha took off his mask of entertainer, he revealed himself a fearsome demon....
By defeating Brade Musha, Sumisu had conquered the preliminaries. The World Championship Finals now awaited him. His story would finally come to an end...
ITTETSU: "Don't give up! Not until you've found the answer...."
