"Show Time Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number Four (Weeks 8/9)*

Last week's episode of Show Time Femme Fatales was pre-empted. Therefore, a special two-hour version was aired this week. In actuality, two weeks worth of tapings were combined with corollary commentary edited in during post production. The episode opened with Madusa Miceli, Melissa Santos, and Noel Harlow issuing a joint statement concerning the pre-emption. Then, the normal show intro was run.

Madusa Miceli: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hottest sixty minutes on television, Show Time Femme Fatales! I'm your hostess Madusa Miceli. Alongside me is the sultry senorita herself, Melissa Santos, and the little vixen, Noel Harlow! Girls, we have a huge program lined up this week!"

Melissa Santos: "That's right. After two weeks of highlight shows, it's time to get back to some in studio action!"

Noel Harlow: "Live and in puhh-llick, if you will, as 'The Dream' used to say! I'm stoked!"

Miceli: "Let's get it on!"

Match One ~ "diabolico"--Atenea, Quimera, & La Sadica vs. "Broken Toys"--Skarlett, Ludark Shaitan, & Allyson Wonderland with Ariel

This was "diabolico's" first televised appearance in NWA: Show Time. They made a splash early. Members of the group had been calling out "Broken Toys" on social media for a couple of weeks. "BT" asked for this match and Deputy Commissioner Fuka Kakimoto granted it for this broadcast. The match never got off the ground. As "diabolico" made their entrance and squared off with "Broken Toys," Ludark Shaitan turned on her partners and joined "diabolico" in a beatdown of Skarlett, Wonderland, and manger Ariel, bloodying Skarlett with La Sadica's barbed wire baseball bat.

Winners = no contest in 0:00

Buggy Nova, Christina Von Eerie, Annie Social, and "Evil Angel" Shax made the save, but the damage was done and "diabolico" established itself as a force to be reckoned with, especially after adding the maniacal Ludark to its ranks. The broadcast went to commercial as officials worked to stop Skarlett's forehead gash from bleeding and stretchered her to the back.

Miceli: "Wow! What a turn of events we just saw!"

Santos: "Ludark Shaitan sold her teammates out and joined the dark side, or, at least the darker side."

Harlow: "Skarlett was left a beaten and bloody mess. We'll have to check on her status as the show progresses."

Miceli: "Let's go backstage for an interview with Chanel."

Chanel: "I'm standing by with members of 'Joshi Mafia,' specifically the team of 'Candy Crush.' Kairi Hojo and Chelsea Diamond specifically asked for this time. Ladies, what do you have to say?"

Chelsea Diamond: "Kairi and I have been together for a couple of years now, and we have beaten some of the best teams in the sport. Yet, when the 'Queens of the Ring' tournament rolled around, Aja Kong told us we would not receive a bid to participate. When we asked her why, she said we had not 'proven ourselves.' All I know is this--we can beat any team in NWA: Show Time and we would have won that tournament."

Chanel: "So, is there trouble brewing in 'Joshi Mafia?'"

Kairi Hojo (with Chelsea as an interpretor): "Don't create rumors. We are simply stating a fact. If we would have been allowed into 'Queens of the Ring,' we would have won.' Aja needs to know that we should have been there."

Aja Kong stepped into the interview and promptly shut it down.

Aja Kong: "Jūbun'na! Anata wa sekai no mae de watashi o yobidasu koto wa arimasen! Anata ga hanashite iru hito o shitte imasu! Ima, watashitachi no ofisu ni modotte shutoku! (Enough! You will not call me out in front of the world! Do you know who you are talking about?! Get back to our office, now!)"

"Candy Crush" walked away dejected, yet obviously annoyed.

Chanel: "Trouble in paradise?"

Miceli: "Oh my. Houston, we have a problem!"

Santos: "I think 'Candy Crush' is a little miffed at Aja Kong for freezing them out of the tournament."

Harlow: "Wouldn't you be? A chance at $100,000 went out the window for them!"

Miceli: "We may be seeing the first chinks in the armor of 'Joshi Mafia.' Let's go back to the ring."

Match Two ~ Yumi Ohka vs. Black Lotus

This match stemmed from Lotus abandoning Ohka during the "Queens of the Ring" tournament. Yumi was fired up, as one might imagine. She laced into Lotus with a fury. Lotus defended well, but was on the run for the bulk of this match. Ohka finally lost all control and was disqualified for refusing to break a choke within the five-count.

Winner = Black Lotus by disqualification in 10:25

Ohka continued the assault after the bell, sending Lotus retreating back to the dressing room.

Miceli: "That's the first time I've seen Black Lotus backpedal against anyone! She had all she could take and more from Yumi Ohka tonight."

Santos: "I have a feeling they're just getting started."

Harlow: "You can see the fire in Ohka's eyes. She wants revenge!"

Miceli: "We understand the cameras are rolling backstage."

Ohka and Lotus continued to fight through the dressing room area. Lotus sent Ohka careening into a retaining wall, breaking through the sheet rock. Ohka was swarmed by officials and Lotus sauntered out of the area.

Santos: "Yumi Ohka may be seriously injured!"

Harlow: "Black Lotus got her backside handed to her, but she seems to have gotten the last laugh today."

Miceli: "That's two ladies injured so far tonight. At this rate, half the roster may be out before the end of the show! We'll take it to Nina Samuels for the introductions of our next match, for the TV Championship!"

Match Three ~ NWA: Show Time Women's Television Championship ~ Mika Nagano of "Joshi Mafia" vs. O.D.B.

O.D.B. is a crowd favorite and she had them popping early on, hitting all of her signature moves and stopping in between for shots of "liquid courage" from her ever-present flask. Nagano attempted to work her submissions, but the wily O.D.B. continued to escape. She had the championship won after hitting "Bam," but was thwarted by interference from Awesome Kong, who distracted her long enough for Mika to recover and catch O.D.B. in the "Fujiwara Armbar" for the tapout.

Winner and still NWA: Show Time Women's Television Champion = Mika Nagano by submission in 12:13

Miceli: 'Once again, the numbers game has plagued another superstar against 'Joshi Mafia.'"

Santos: "When will it end?"

Harlow: "Not until the rest of the roster bands together to over power them."

Miceli: "There are so many cliques and factions here, I don't know if that's possible."

A video promo aired hyping the "World War II" iPPV event that will take place on Saturday, September 26.

Miceli: "The iPPV is gonna be off the chain! Wait a minute. We are hearing from the production truck that there are rumblings in the 'Joshi Mafia' office and our camera men are on hand."

The scene cuts to the inside of the "Joshi Mafia" office, where everyone has surrounded Kairi Hojo and Chelsea Diamond.

Kong: "Anata wa watashitachi to issho ni, matawa tōsha ni taishite no izurekadesu (You are either with us or against us)!"

Diamond: "We are with you! We just want fair treatment!"

Hojo: "Watashitachiha chansu ga amarini mo kagayakitaidesu (We want a chance to shine too)!"

Kong: "Chansu wa kagayaki ni wa? Ha! Raishū, anata futari wa Io to Mio ni chokumen surudarou. Anata ga katta baai, anata ga go riyō itadakemasu. Anata ga funshitsu shita baai, watashitachiha 'Joshi Mafia' no anata o uchimasu (A chance to shine? Ha! Next week, you two will face Io and Mio. If you win, you stay. If you lose, we beat you out of 'Joshi Mafia')!"

Awesome Kong: "If you want to shine, you have to prove yourselves against the best there is."

Diamond: "Fine! So long as there are no hard feelings when we win."

Io and Mio Shirai laughed off the last statement, as the scene cut back to commentary.

Miceli: "Oh my Lord! 'Joshi Mafia' is going to have a good old family feud next week. If 'Candy Crush' loses against the Tag Team Champions, they are out of the 'Mafia!'"

Santos: "This is a huge moment!"

Harlow: "Is it next week yet?!"

Miceli: "Ladies and gentlemen, after the break, we'll take a special look at Manami Toyota. Stick around!"

A special video package aired chronicling Manami Toyota's NWA: Show Time career. It was announced that she has successfully defended the NWA: Show Time Women's Championship against every other member of the roster at least once. In a subtitled interview segment, Toyota declared that she will continue to defend the Show Time Women's Championship and will also make the mandatory defenses of her newly-won NWA World Women's Championship.

Miceli: "Manami will make a World Championship defense in the main event of our second hour tonight! Let's go to our final match of the first hour."

Match Four ~ "Triple Threat Tag Team" match ~ "Twin Lizzie"--Lizzie Valentine & Lizzie Raze vs. "Suicide Blondes"--Erin Angel & Jennifer Blake vs. "She Wolves"--Hania the Huntress & "Nordic Valkyrie" Nina

This match was fast and furious from the opening bell. It resembled a "Texas Tornado" affair more so than a wrestling match. The 6'3" Lizzie Raze was particularly impressive. She dismantled the competition and nailed a "Chokeslam" on Nina, but turned around into Jennifer Blake's "Dynamite Destroyer," which laid her out and allowed Jennifer to pounce on Nina for the pinfall.

Winners = "Suicide Blondes" by pinfall in 7:39

Miceli: "What a fun match! 'Suicide Blondes' just got a big win! Fans, we'll be back with the second hour of Show Time Femme Fatales! Stay tuned!"

Santos: "We're back and ready for more action. Nina (Samuels), take it away!"

Match Five ~ "Ladies Rumble Battle Royal" ~ "Pep Patrol"--Kelly Klein, Su Yung, Alexia Nicole, & Sammi Lane, "Kyūtīpai (Cutie Pies)"--Cherry, Aika Ando, Misaki Ohata, Chiharu, Maki Nurumiya, & Risa Sera, "Belleza Escondida (Hidden Beauty)"--Lluvia, Zeuxis, Crazy Star, Sexy Lady, India Sioux, La Jarochita, Reina Dorada, & Bastet, "Niños Más Malo de la Cuadra (Baddest Babes on the Block)"--Lolita, Vanely, Chica Tormenta, & Yuki Star, "Mala Chicas Culo (Bad A** Chicas)"--"Dark Angel" Sarah Stock, Ayako Hamada, Thea Trinidad, & Thunder Rosa, "Divas of Destruction"--Celeste, Seleziya, & Kahmora, and Meiko Satomura

This was a fairly lengthy "Battle Royal," as the participants entered two-at-a-time in sixty-second intervals. The last four competitors after the smoke cleared were Celeste, Sarah Stock, Meiko Satomura, and Misaki Ohata. Ohata and Stock battled in one corner as Celeste and Satomura struggled in the other. At one point, Stock, Ohata, and Satomura attempted to triple-team the bigger Celeste, but she fought them off. Celeste dumped Ohata and Satomura over at once. As she celebrated, Stock threw her over the top, but she was able to "skin the cat" in impressive fashion and remained in the contest. Stock went to the top and soared with a "Crossbody Press," but Celeste was able to maintain her footing long enough to back swiftly into the ropes and drop Stock unceremoniously over the top.

Winner = Celeste, last eliminating Sarah Stock in 19:46

As Celeste celebrated, Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa and Deputy Commissioner Fuka Kakimoto came to the ring. Aikawa made the surprise announcement that Celeste would receive a shot at the NWA: Show Time Women's Championship next week on Femme Fatales as a result of her victory. She was congratulated by her fellow "Divas of Destruction," Seleziya and Kahmora.

Miceli: "Just when you thought a victory couldn't get better, you get handed a title shot! "

Santos: "Good for you, Celeste!"

Harlow: "She went through twenty-nine other women. I'd say she earned that one!"

Miceli: "Okay fans, here we go! We have to take a break, then we'll go straight to the ring for our main event!"

Match Six ~ NWA World Women's Championship ~ Manami Toyota vs. Taya Valkyrie

Taya Valkyrie is a member of the NWA: Wild West roster. Due to their television production having been temporarily suspended, an agreement was made between NWA: Show Time and NWA: Wild West for this talent exchange in order to televise the match. Taya was a worthy challenger and threw everything including the kitchen sink at Toyota in the hopes of wresting the championship from her clutches. Toyota is really in the zone right now and was masterful once again. This match turned into a storytelling clinic, ebbing and flowing, ramping up and slowing down, then ramping up again. We thought the broadcast might run out of time before the conclusion, but Toyota caught Valkyrie "napping" for one second, which gave her the opening to hit the "Japanese Ocean Queen Bee Bomb" for the three-count.

Winner and still NWA World Women's Champion = Manami Toyota by pinfall in 31:37

Toyota collapsed beside Valkyrie after the finish as the studio crowd wailed its approval. Eventually, both ladies made it to their feet and gave an embrace of respect, then saluted the audience.

Miceli: "You will not see better action than that. I defy the boys to top this match!"

Santos: "I am continuously amazed at the ability of Manami Toyota, at forty-four years of age, to keep coming on so strong with each outing."

Harlow: "She defies age and time. Manami Toyota is simply amazing. Just as her finisher would indicate, she is the 'Queen Bee,' without a doubt."

Miceli: "Yep, and she'll have a tall order next week as she defends the Show Time Women's championship against the super-diva Celeste."

Santos: "Speaking of Celeste, she is making her way to the ring right now."

Celeste hopped into the ring and had a stare down with Toyota. She then shook Toyota's hand, nodded, and exclaimed, "Next week," as she pointed to the NWA: Show Time Women's Championship on Toyota's shoulder.

Miceli: "That match is gonna be a doozy! Well folks, that's all the time we have for this week. I need to catch my breath anyway. Be sure to tune into TBS for Show Time Power Hour and right here on TNT for Show Time Femme Fatales. Also, remember our big 'World War III' iPPV event this Saturday at 7 PM EST. For Melissa Santos and Noel Harlow, I'm Madusa Miceli, saying, keep on rockin'!"
