*The Imperial Assassin stands over his fallen opponent and raises his hands in the air as Crusher Sato enters the ring. Sato bows to his mentor and Assassin returns a shorter bow briefly. The referee holds out the PWA Light Heavyweight Championship to the Assassin. Sato rips the belt from the ref’s hands and presents it to the Assassin, bowing again as he does so. The Assassin takes the belt and returns the bow, throws belt across his shoulder at looks out at the booing crowd with a look of smug pride.

At that moment, unfamiliar music blares through the arena. The Imperial Assassin and Crusher Sato both frown and look toward the entrance ramp as an unknown man walks through the entrance, mic in hand, and addresses the Assassin.*

UNKNOWN: *speaking in Japanese* “Imperial Assassin! Your dishonorable actions have disgraced your name and the sport of professional wrestling! You cannot be permitted to disgrace the Japanese junior style! I have come from ZIP Japan to face you in combat and show everyone the true honor of Japanese junior style that you tarnish! I am Yutaro Ichikawa, the Junior Champion from ZIP Japan! I have come to face you in combat and prove the worth and honor of Japanese junior style!”

*The Imperial Assassin is initially taken aback, then puts on a smirk and grabs a microphone*

ASSASSIN: “Please forgive this man. He is from my great country of Japan and does not understand that the American educational system has failed by not teaching all of you the superior dialect of his home. Allow me to translate on his behalf. He is Yutaro Ichikawa, the Junior Champion of ZIP Japan, an honorable but insignificant promotion from across the Pacific Ocean. He has expressed his admiration for me as I have restored honor and dignity to the PWA Light Heavyweight title.”

ICHIKAWA: *speaking in Japanese* “If you have any honor then you will face me at PWA Vendetta, one-on-one! My strength and spirit will prevail! You cannot escape! Accept my challenge!”

ASSASSIN: “Mr. Ichikawa humbles himself as he should, recognizing my superior wrestling prowess and fighting spirit and wishes to challenge me at Vendetta so that he may learn from a superior warrior! Mr. Ichikawa’s audacity would be insulting if it did not come from someone so unworthy. Nevertheless, I am a compassionate champion. I accept Mr. Ichikawa’s challenge and will give him a lesson in humility at Vendetta! Prepare yourself, Yutaro-kun!”
