"Show Time Femme Fatales" TV Taping #'s 9 & 10 (Weeks 18/19)

Episode 18 had already been taped, but was pre-empted because of "Starrcade 2K15" the same day. Episode 19 was taped after "Starrcade" and the two were edited together into one two-hour episode with some commentary and interview content added in post production.

The episode began with a "Starrcade" highlight package.

Madusa Miceli: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hottest hour on television, Show Time Femme Fatales! I'm your hostess, Madusa Miceli. With me, as always, are my trusty sidekicks, the sultry senorita, Melissa Santos, and the New York knockout, Noel Harlow. Ladies, we are a week removed from 'Starrcade 2K15,' and, man, was it a huge event!"

Melissa Santos: "That's right! I have never been a part of such a spectacle. It was the show to end all shows, in my book!"

Noel Harlow: "There was such drama, such excitement, such flat-out great wrestling, and, one of our own, 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar, became the NWA World Heavyweight Champion!"

Miceli: "Yep, with a little help from 'Naitch.' We're all still wondering what will happen with that partnership. Also, Aoi Kizuki shocked the Bantamweight class by outlasting everyone to win the championship. As we heard on Tuesday, a challenge was laid out by Eve Torres for a championship match here tonight! We'll hear from Aoi and Torres, who are both in the house. We may have a huge title match later on. But first, let's get this massive two-hour episode under way!"

Match One ~ "I Quit" match ~ Skarlett vs. Ludark Shaitan

This feud has gone on for many weeks now. Ever since Shaitan turned on Skarlett to join "diabolico," the two have beaten each other all over the territory. This began as a one-on-one battle. However, with "diabolico" and "The Coven" lurking, we knew they would find a way to get involved. They did. At one point, it was utter chaos. All seven ladies were going at it. The referee finally restored some order. The ending sequence came when Skarlett nailed a heel kick to the back of Shaitan's head, then trapped Shaitan in "Skarlett's Web" ("Cattle Mutilation"). Shaitan refused to tap out. A devious smile spanned across her face, as it almost seemed as if she enjoyed the pain being inflicted upon her. Skarlett wrenched back as far as she could, until Shaitan passed out from the pain. The referee signaled for the bell, putting a stop to the match.

Winner = Skarlett by technical submission in 9:19

Miceli: "That was brutal! Ludark looked like she was enjoying being tortured!"

Santos: "She is definitely sick and twisted!"

Harlow: "The same can be said of Skarlett. After all, she took her lumps and kept right on coming!"

Miceli: "I'm told that Chanel is backstage with Eve Torres."

Chanel: "I'm standing by with Eve Torres, who..."

Eve Torres: "Give me the microphone, wench! Aoi Kizuki, you stole MY Bantamweight Championship! I want a title match tonight! Don't be a coward! Face me like a real woman!"

Aoi Kizuki approached and stepped nose-to-nose with Torres.

Aoi Kizuki (in broken English): "You want? Come get!"

Kizuki then held up the championship belt against Torres' face.

Miceli: "Well, I guess we have our answer. There will be a Bantamweight Championship match here tonight! Let's go back to the ring!"

Match Two ~ "Kunoichi Blade"--Black Lotus & Sakura vs. "Gothic Goddesses"--Buggy Nova & Christina Von Eerie with Ariel

Lotus and Sakura once again made fairly short work of another veteran team, with Sakura nailing a "Spinning Heel Kick" on Nova, followed by a "Sake Bomb" from Lotus for the pin.

Winners = "Kunoichi Blade" by pinfall in 4:28

Black Lotus grabbed a microphone.

Black Lotus: "So, I see that it has become okay to simply 'call out' someone when you want a title shot?! Well, Sakura and I have run through everyone they have put in front of us. We have beaten these pathetic women on television and in every arena they have sent us to. So, we're standing here, calling out 'Candy Crush.' We know you're in the building. We want a title match right now. It's time for you two little ladies to be humbled."

Miceli: "Hello! Another challenge has been made! Will 'Candy Crush' respond?"

"Candy Crush's" music hit to bring out Kairi Hojo and Chelsea Diamond, the reigning NWA: Show Time Women's Tag Team Champions. Chelsea had a microphone in her hand.

Chelsea Diamond: "So, you think that, because you call yourselves 'ninjas,' and you've beaten a couple of teams here in Show Time, that you automatically deserve a championship match? That's not how it works around here. You have to earn it, just like we did. We beat the champions twice to get these belts."

Sakura: "If you're afraid, just say it, sweetheart. I don't blame you."

Chelsea: "If we were afraid, we wouldn't be out here right now. Kairi and I have never backed down from a fight!"

Kairi Hojo: "Watashitachi wa anata o torudeshou (We will take you on)!"

Lotus: "My Japanese may be slightly rusty, but I thought she said, 'We will take you on.' That sounds like a challenge accepted to me."

Diamond: "You want a title match? Fine! Let's do it, right now!"

Miceli: "Oh, it's on, sister!"

Santos: "Oh my!"

Harlow: "Let's do it!"

Match Three ~ NWA: Show Time Women's Tag Team Championship ~ "Candy Crush"--Kairi Hojo & Chelsea Diamond vs. "Kunoichi Blade"--Black Lotus & Sakura

"Candy Crush" lived up to the billing of champions. They performed amazingly well in this match. "Kunoichi Blade" appeared to have bitten off more than they could chew. They seemed ill-prepared for the onslaught they faced. Hojo was in rare from. She was ultra-aggressive. She, it seemed, took 'Blade's" words personally. She seemed intent on punishing her foes. Hojo could be heard screaming, "Tappu! Tappu! (tap)" when she locked in her bridging "Boston Crab/Leg Grapevine" combination on Lotus. Sakura goaded Chelsea into the ring, which diverted the referee's (Saito 123) attention. As referee Saito attempted to get Chelsea back to her corner, Sakura mounted the ropes for a "Double Stomp" on the bridging Hojo, just as Lotus had begun to tap out. Sakura rolled Lotus onto Hojo and slid out of the ring. Referee Saito counted the three, just before Chelsea pounced for the save.

Winners and NEW NWA: Show Time Women's Tag Team Champions = "Kunoichi Blade" by pinfall in 13:44

Sakura helped Lotus out of the ring as Chelsea checked on Hojo and tried to explain what happened to the referee. "Kunoichi Blade' celebrated with the championship belts at ringside.

Miceli: "Wow! What a shocker! Kairi had the tapout one minute. The next minute, she's being pinned! I can't believe it!"

Santos: "What a turn of events here!"

Harlow: "Just that quickly, we have new Tag Team Champions!"

Miceli: "After the break, we'll discuss 'Starrcade.'"

Miceli: "We're back! Ladies, let's talk some more about the spectacular that was 'Starrcade 2K15' and what went down. NWA: Show Time had a really big night."

Santos: "First of all, Show Time innovated and unveiled the 'Suicide Skywalkers' match. Three tiers of scaffolding made it much more dangerous than previous 'Starrcade Skywalker' matches in the 1980's. The top tier was a precarious thirty feet up from the ring surface. Terrifying!"

Harlow: "By the time all the wrestlers had tumbled from one level to the next, you could see the pain etched on their faces. We're talking about steel scaffolding and one-inch think aluminum flooring. There is no way to prepare for a landing on that. That is pain personified!"

Miceli: "Oh yeah! That was rough! Then, we had the 'Super Seven Elimination' match for the Bantamweight Championship. Now, we know that Mika Nagano won the original tournament for the belt, but she was stripped the next day when it was discovered that Awesome Kong was the 'mysterious' figure who assisted her in the tourney final. So, Jordan Richards signed this match at 'Starrcade.' Aoi Kizuki survived to get the surprise pin on Eve Torres to win the championship."

Santos: "Needless to say, Torres is adamant about getting that championship! She has been inconsolable since last Thursday. I don't know what she'll do if she doesn't win the match today."

Harlow: "She may end up in a mental facility!"

Miceli: "Finally, we saw 'The Beast' Brock Lesnar, win the NWA World Heavyweight Championship from CM Punk. That was not necessarily a surprise. The big deal was that we found out Ric Flair is the mystery business partner of Lesnar and Jordan Richards. That means that Flair worked with a rival promotion to take the belt off someone from his own territory. Granted, Flair and Punk have been feuding over full ownership of the territory, but, you would think that Flair would still want the leverage associated with the richest prize in wrestling being in his promotion. This thing with Punk must go very deep for Flair."

Santos: "Exactly. During his career, he was obsessed with the World Title. He is a twenty-time World Champion, after all. So, for him to willingly give that championship to a rival promoter, there has to be an ulterior motive. It can't just be because he doesn't like CM Punk. Something is afoot."

Harlow: "Yes. There is definitely more than meets the eye in this situation. I, for one, am anxious to see where this situation goes."

Miceli: "I'm sure we'll see this thing play out. If I know Flair as well as I think I do, it will play out on a grand stage. It could be as early as December 26. Clash of the Champions 'Season's Beatings' will air live on TBS that night. It should be a huge event to finish off the year! Fans, let's take it back to the ring."

Match Four ~ "Queen Kongs"--Aja Kong & Awesome Kong vs. "Joshi no Densetsu"--Carlos Amano & Toshiyo Yamada

The Kongs are on the warpath coming out of 'Starrcade,' especially since their members failed to win the championship matches they were involved in. They tore into their legendary rivals, dismantling them with precision and malice. Amano and Yamada held their own, but they were no match for the sheer size and strength of Aja and Awesome. They dropped Amano with a double "Spinning Backfist" for the win.

Winners = "Queen Kongs" by pinfall in 6:38

Awesome Kong grabbed a microphone. She spoke on behalf of Aja Kong.

Awesome Kong: "'Joshi Mafia' is still the strongest force in the world, but we have suffered setbacks recently. This will not stand. Aja Kong, the 'Godmother,' has been discussing 'family business' with the 'Boss.' The 'Boss' has chosen not to reveal her identity in the past. She says that now is the time to make her presence known. Before 2015 is gone, the world will meet the 'Boss' and 'Joshi Mafia' will be stronger than it ever has been!"

Miceli: "What?! The 'Boss?!' I thought Aja was the 'Boss!' She answers to someone else?! Who could it possibly be?!"

Santos: "Awesome Kong just dropped on bomb on all of us! No one knew about a 'Boss!'"

Harlow: "My mind has just been blown."

Miceli: "We've got to take a break. Back with more in a moment."

Miceli: "All right, fans, we're back, but I'm still reeling from that startling revelation we just heard. Awesome Kong alluded to a 'Boss' figure in 'Joshi Mafia.' We were under the impression that, Aja Kong, as the 'Godmother' of the group, was in charge. It seems that she is not. She takes orders from someone higher up."

Santos: "And, it sounds like her identity will be made public pretty soon."

Harlow: That's right. They aren't very many more moons until the end of the year."

Miceli: "Nina, take it away!"

Match Five ~ O.D.B. vs. Tsukasa Fujimoto

This was a highly competitive match, that saw Fujimoto dominate the beginning, O.D.B. dominate the middle, and both women take turns leading at the end. Fujimoto hit the "Venus Shoot" and made the cover. Just then, all of "Joshi Mafia" rushed the ring for the disqualification.

Winner = Tsukasa Fujimoto by disqualification in 11:07

O.D.B. joined them in a beating of Fujimoto until the rest of the "WAVE" faction (Yumi Ohka, Arisa Nakajima, and Nagisa Nozaki) made the save. "Joshi Mafia" raised O.D.B.'s hand, then shook it, signifying that she had been adopted into the group.

Miceli: "We've heard the rumors for weeks. I guess they have been confirmed. O.D.B. has gone rogue."

Santos: "It looks like she has joined the dark side."

Harlow: "And, 'Joshi Mafia' has gotten even stronger."

Miceli: "We have to take one more commercial break, then we'll be back with our main event Bantamweight Championship match!"

Miceli: "All right, folks. We're back. Before the main event begins, Chanel has asked champion Aoi Kizuki for a few words."

Chanel: "I'm standing with the new NWA: Show Time Bantamweight Champion Aoi Kizuki. Aoi, first of all, congratulations!"

Aoi Kizuki: "Thank you very much!"

Chanel: "You have your first title defense in mere moments against Eve Torres, who you pinned to win the belt. What are your thoughts?"

Before she could speak, Kizuki was blasted in the back with a steel chair by Taeler Hendrix. She was then thrown into the wall by Mandy Leon. Hendrix and Leon began to stomp Kizuki unmercifully, until Kizuki's "Happy Makers" tag team partner, Sayaka Obihiro, attempted to save her. She was dropped with a shot in the head by a metal pipe that was wielded by Taryn Terell. "The Dollhouse" beat and kicked Kizuki into semi consciousness, then dumped her into a metal production container and wheeled her out to the ring, where Eve Torres was waiting. Leon and Hendrix rolled  Kizuki into the ring. Torres forced the referee to ring the bell.

Match Six ~ NWA: Show Time Bantamweight Championship ~ Aoi Kizuki vs. Eve Torres

Torres immediately went for the cover. Miraculously, Aoi kicked out at two. Torres was shocked and went nuts, berating the referee for a slow count. Again, she covered. Again, Kizuki kicked out at two. As Torres continued to rant, Kizuki attempted to get to her feet. She stumbled and wobbled, clearly woozy from the beating she had sustained. Kizuki tried to mount a comeback, but she continued to stumble and fall. The referee (Summer Rae) stepped in several times to check on the wellbeing of Kizuki, who kept waving her off. Torres then uncorked a "Roundhouse Kick" that thudded off Kizuki's head. Eve then mounted Aoi and began to pound away. Summer Rae again stepped in to check on Kizuki, looking intently into Aoi's eyes. Eve tried to mount Kizuki again, but was thrown off by referee Rae, who waved her off and rang the bell.

Winner and NEW NWA: Show Time Bantamweight Champion = Eve Torres by referee stoppage in 5:22

Torres and "The Dollhouse" celebrated with the championship belt as officials continued to check on Kizuki.

Miceli: "Summer Rae must have seen something in Aoi's eyes that told her she was done. I know that we have stringent concussion protocols nowadays. She looks glazed over, that's for sure."

Santos: "In my opinion, the match should have been thrown out from the beginning. Why would you continue on as scheduled when she was jumped in the back? I have never understood that."

Harlow: "There's really nothing a referee can do before the bell rings to start a match. Her hands were sort of tied, what with this being a television main event and a championship match. Maybe the Commissioners will step in and make a decision."

Miceli: "Right now, their concern is for the safety of Aoi Kizuki. I don't know that I blame Summer for stopping it. Aoi has no idea where she is right now. She is trying to fight against the trainers checking her out. She definitely got scrambled by 'The Dollhouse.'"

Eve Torres grabbed a microphone.

Torres: "I told you! I told you I was meant to be the Bantamweight Champion. I have a winner's pedigree! I know they tried to make a joke of 'The Dollhouse' before, but, who's joking now?! Jordan Richards put me in the 'Elimination' match at 'Starrcade' because he knew I was qualified to be the champion. I just proved it. The best that the entire weight class has to offer didn't stand a chance against me! I beat her down in the middle of the ring, all by myself! Girls, let's go celebrate! Jordan (Richards) has the private car waiting for us!"

Miceli: "Well, I guess Eve Torres just got by with a little help from her friends, as the old song goes."

Santos: "A lot of help, if you ask me."

Harlow: "You got that right!"

Miceli: "Fans, that's all the time we have for today. We hope you've enjoyed a full two hours of Show Time Femme Fatales! Catch us right back here on TNT next Thursday, and be sure to check out the Show Time Power Hour over on our sister station, TBS, every Tuesday! For Melissa Santos and Noel Harlow, I'm Madusa Miceli. Keep on rockin' and rollin!'"
