"Show Time Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 14 (Week 28)

Madusa Miceli: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hottest hour on television, Show Time Femme Fatales! I'm your hostess, Madusa Miceli. With me are my two partners, Melissa Santos and Noel Harlow! Girls, we had a big night in Miami, Florida last Saturday!"

Melissa Santos: "Miami is one of my favorite towns, and NWA: Show Time took it over last weekend!"

Noel Harlow: "I'm still trying to catch my breath from that whirlwind weekend!"

Miceli: "It was great to see Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa and Deputy Commissioner Fuka Kakimoto back in the ring! For them to get the win was even more impressive. And, did my girl Bull Nakano deliver or what?!"

Santos: "She said not to cross her. Aja Kong crossed and paid for it!"

Harlow: "She'll think twice about getting in Bull's face next time!"

Commissioners Aikawa and Kakimoto, along with Bull Nakano, came to ringside. The studio audience cheered wildly.

Yuzuki Aikawa: "Thank you! It felt good to be back in the ring, even if it was for one night only! We promised to get our hands on 'Joshi Mafia,' and we did. They thought we would be easy to defeat. Fuka and I showed we still have what it takes."

The fans began a "You've still got it!" chant.

Aikawa: "We want to thank Bull Nakano for keeping order during the match. She will make a fine addition to NWA: Show Time!"

"Joshi Mafia" came to the ring to a loud chorus of boos.

Awesome Kong: "I guess you are feeling pretty good about yourselves, huh? If you can get satisfaction out of a tainted win like that, go ahead. If you can sleep at night knowing that you only won because Bull Nakano cheated for you, then you have less character than we thought!"

Bull Nakano: "I cheated?! Aja Kong tried to hit me! I defended myself! She should not have put her hands on me!"

Kong: "You see it your way. We'll see it ours. The bottom line is that 'Joshi Mafia' only lost because Bull Nakano put herself in the match as more than a referee. She became a wrestler! Bull, why don't you and your new friends there put your money with your mouth is?"

Nakano: "What are you saying?"

Kong: "I'm saying that 'The Boss' is challenging you three to wrestle three of us!"

Nakano: "You want three of yours to take on me, Yuzuki, and Fuka?"

Kong: "That's right, if you have the guts!"

Aikawa: "We accept, right here tonight!"

Kong: "Good! But, we want 'no disqualification!'"

Nakano: "Even better!"

Miceli: "I'm losing my mind here!"

Santos: "Me too! Bull Nakano steps back in the ring tonight on our program, to team up with the Commissioners, to take on 'Joshi Mafia!"

Harlow: "That and the mandatory Bantamweight Championship rematch! My head just exploded!"

Miceli: "Fans, we have to take a break. We'll be back with our first match after this!"

Miceli: "We're back! Let's go to the ring!"

Match One~ "The Bullet Club"--Becky Lynch & Black Widow with Yellow Barbie vs. "Shamrock Sisters"--Kasey & Leah Owens with Lucky O'Shea

"Shamrock Sisters" were looking for retribution against Lynch, who betrayed them and join "BC." O'Shea was unable to compete after having her shoulder dislocated by Lynch last week. This was a good back-and-forth contest. Yellow Barbie made her presence known, distracting the referee (Chiharu) while Black Widow and Lynch double teamed the twins. Widow eventually hit the "Widow's Peak" on Leah, which Becky turned into "Dis-Arm Her" for the tapout.

Winners = "The Bullet Club" by submission in 9:02

After the match, Jessie McKay ran down to ringside and jumped O'Shea from behind, stomping away at her injured shoulder. She exchanged "too-sweet" hand gestures with Lynch and Widow and took off her ring jacket to reveal a "Bullet Club" t-shirt.

Miceli: "What?! Jessie McKay joined the dang 'Bullet Club' too?!"

Santos: "What's this company coming to?! NWA: Show Time is being betrayed left and right!"

Harlow: "This is WCW 1996 all over again."

Miceli: "Don't say that! I lived through it back then! I don't know if I can take it again! We need to go to commercial."

Miceli: "Fans, we're back, and I don't like what I'm seeing. Men and women alike are defecting from NWA: Show Time and joining the rogue 'Bullet Club.' As Noel said, this is deja vu for all of us who were at WCW during the 'nWo' days. Let's go to the ring for the Bantamweight Championship match that was mandated by Jordan Richards. He said that there is a Special Referee, but he has yet to divulge who it is. I guess we'll see right now."

Match Two ~ NWA: Show Time Bantamweight Championship ~ Mayu Iwatani vs. Eve Torres with Maria Kanellis as Special Referee

Iwatani came to the ring ready to fight. Torres sauntered down with Kanellis as her manager. There was still no referee in the ring. Torres grabbed a microphone.

Eve Torres: "Oh, I see. You all are waiting on the announcement of the Special Referee for this match. I almost forgot. How silly of me! Well, the lady who will call it right down the middle and who will make sure that justice prevails, is none other than Maria Kanellis!"

Miceli: "Are you kidding me?!"

Santos: "Jordan Richards always has an ace up his sleeve."

Harlow: "And, Maria is a licensed referee for our company. Wow!"

Maria unzipped her hoodie to reveal a striped shirt, as she and Torres laughed with delight. Iwatani objected, but there was nothing she could do. She went after Torres immediately, but every time she went for a cover, Kanellis took her sweet time making the count. It was obvious that Iwatani would not get a pin on Torres if it was up to Kanellis to count. When Eve went for a cover, Kanellis counted in a lightning quick manner. Torres almost stole the win a couple of times. The commentators alluded to the controversy of "Joshi Mafia's" Io Shirai assisting Iwatani, which is still unexplained. Shirai then appeared on the big screen to taunt Torres, who attention was diverted along with Kanellis'. Iwatani seized that opportunity to nail a "Roundhouse Kick" that knocked Torres loopy. She followed that up with her "Snap Dragon Bridging Suplex." Kanellis counted as slowly as possible, but Torres was out cold and did not move. Kanellis was forced to finish the count, after what seemed like an eternity.

Winner and STILL NWA: Show Time Bantamweight Champion = Mayu Iwatani by pinfall in 16:54

Miceli: "I can't get the connection with Iwatani and Io Shirai. Are they in cahoots? Is Io targeting Eve Torres?"

Santos: "There's a million questions that need answering in that situation."

Harlow: "I can't figure it out. They're sworn enemies. Why is Io helping Mayu?!"

Miceli: "We'll be back in a moment."

Miceli: "Fans, we're back. It's time for the match we've waited all hour for. My friend and former foe, Bull Nakano is stepping back into the ring for the first time since retiring four years ago!"

Match Three ~ "No Disqualification" ~ "Joshi Mafia"--Aja Kong, Awesome Kong, and Hikaru Shida with "The Boss" Manami Toyota vs. Bull Nakano, Yuzuki Aikawa, and Fuka Kakimoto

Bull Nakano looked like she never left the ring. She was crisp. She was sharp. She was just as strong as she ever was, but is much quicker now that she has lost the weight she carried during her heyday. Aikawa and Kakimoto picked up where they left off last Saturday. Shidsa, who doesn't always get the press the rest of her stable mates do, is one of the best in the world. The self proclaimed "A-- Goddess" showed her brilliance in this match. All six ladies took full advantage of the stipulation, throwing everything but the kitchen sink at one another. They would have used that if they could have found one. Nakano dropped Aja Kong in "Bull's Poseidon" and looked to have the victory in hand. Toyota grabbed her ankle and pulled her off the cover, which was seen by referee Nikkon Lee, but who could do nothing because of the "No DQ" stipulation. Nakano left the ring to confront Toyota, who continued to back up. Shida locked Kakimoto in the "Full Metal Muffler." Fuka fought to get to the ropes, but Shida wrenched the hold back, forcing Kakimoto to tap as the Kongs kept Aikawa at bay. Nakano got back to the ring too late to break up the submission.

Winners = "Joshi Mafia" by submission in 25:38

Nakano dropped the Kongs with chair blasts, then locked "Bull's Angelito" on Shida, who screamed in agony and tapped out hysterically against Bull's leg. Bull refused to break the hold, almost frothing at the mouth. She finally relented and stared at her victims as they dragged Shida away from the ring. Toyota shouted in Japanese at Nakano, "Kore wa mada owatte imasen  (This is not over)!" Nakano replied, "Kakatte koi (Bring it on)!"

Miceli: "Bull just went to a dark place. 'Joshi Mafia' is in big trouble!"

Santos: "Nakano was almost entranced as she applied that submission to Hikaru Shida."

Harlow: "Shida was screaming like a banshee! Bull nearly tore her arms off!"

Miceli: "I can tell you one thing. When Bull conjures up that inner demon, I pity the chick who stands in her way!" Fans, what an episode! We're out of time, but there's no doubt this war isn't over! Join us again next Thursday on TNT for more Show Time Femme Fatales, and don't forget about the Show Time Power Hour every Tuesday on TBS! For Melissa Santos and Noel Harlow, I'm Madusa Miceli.
