"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 36 (Week 71)

Madusa Miceli: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the hottest hour on television, Femme Fatales! I'm your hostess, Madusa Miceli. With me are Renee Young and Melissa Santos! Girls, Kairi did it! She's the new NWA World Women's Champion after a hard-fought victory against Heidi Lovelace at Starrcade!"

Renee Young: "Kairi Hojo has fought through so much adversity in the last year! She's an amazing athlete and an amazing person! Kairi Hojo deserves the World Championship!"

Melissa Santos: "Kairi Hojo never quit during that match! She kept on coming, and her persistence paid off with the biggest prize in women's wrestling!"

Miceli: "And, what about ACT Yasukawa turning on 'Joshi Mafia,' of which she was a founding member, and joining 'Oedo Tai!' That came out of left field somewhere!"

Young: "My jaw is still dropping over that moment! I was absolutely shocked! No one in the world saw that coming!"

Santos: "That was a head-scratcher for sure! Hopefully, we'll get some kind of explanation from ACT tonight."

Miceli: "That's the plan, as Laura Cruz will sit down with ACT Yasukawa and 'Oedo Tai' for an interview later in the program. Also, we will have a celebration for Kairi Hojo and we will see 'Queen Kongs' defend the Ladies Night Ultra Championship, which is our first match of the night! Let's go to the ring!"

Match One ~ NWA: Femme Fatales "Ladies Night" Ultra Championship ~ "Queen Kongs"--Aja & Awesome Kong with "The Boss" Manami Toyota vs. "Kunoichi Blade"--"Chimei-tekina Hana (Deadly Flower)" Black Lotus & "Kirā Kabuki (Kabuki Killer)" Sakura

"Queen Kongs" clearly were in a foul mood after the events of Starrcade. They took out there frustrations on the normally dangerous Black Lotus and Sakura, who were defenseless for quite some time in the match. Lotus and Sakura got their shots in from time to time, but the action was dominated by the Kongs. It seemed as if Aja and Awesome were toying with "Kunoichi Blade" at various points. The match trajectory shifted when ACT Yasukawa sauntered to ringside. Manami Toyota began to argue with her. Meanwhile, Sakura took the moment of distraction to knock Awesome Kong off the ring apron. Aja Kong, who was still inside the ring, began to yell at Yasukawa as well. Lotus took advantage of the situation and scooped her up into a "School Girl Roll," and held onto Kong's tights for dear life, giving them the cheap title victory.

Miceli: "ACT Yasukawa screwed 'Joshi Mafia' again!"

Young: "Aja and Awesome Kong are hot! They just got their championship trophy stolen!"

Santos: "There will be heck to pay for that, I can guarantee!"

"Kunoichi Blade" celebrated their victory as "Joshi Mafia" went ballistic inside the ring. Hikaru Shida came out and grabbed a microphone.

Hikaru Shida: "ACT Yasukawa, kon'ya koko ni anata no ichi-mai ga hoshī! Watashi wa anata no ringu ni anata o eru tame ni rain-jō ni watashi no taitoru o iremasu! Watashi wa ima anata no o shiri o uchitai (ACT Yasukawa, I want a piece of you here tonight! I will put my title on the line to get you in the ring! I want to beat your a-- right now)!"

ACT came back to the ring with a huge grin on her face. She told the referee to ring the bell, signifying that she had accepted the challenge.

Match Two ~ NWA: Femme Fatales Television Championship ~ Hikaru Shida with "The Boss" Manami Toyota vs. ACT Yasukawa

This was another case of highway robbery. Shida dominated Yasukawa, for the most part. She was taking out her frustration on the former "Joshi Mafia" stable mate. However, the referee got poked in the eye and was down for a moment toward the conclusion of the match. This gave ACT time to throw some of her trademark rum into Shida's eyes, temporarily blinding her. She then hit a vicious "Piledriver" for the pin.

ACT clutched the championship and celebrated as Manami Toyota implored the referee to reverse the decision due to the foreign object.

Miceli: "ACT Yasukawa is on a roll and is systematically stealing every championship 'Joshi Mafia' has!"

Young: "I still can't believe she is in 'Oedo Tai!'"

Santos: "This is the wildest thing I've seen!"

Miceli: "Fans, we'll take a break and be back with more."

Miceli: "Fans, we're back. Given the events that have unfolded on the program already, we are going to get you straight to this interview from earlier today with Laura Cruz and ACT Yasukawa. Chiho Nishimori provided interpretation."

Laura Cruz: "Hello everyone! I'm 'Locker Room Lovely' Laura Cruz, here with an exclusive interview. My guest at this time is the newest member of 'Oedo Tai,' ACT Yasukawa. My colleague Chiho Nishimori will provide interpretation today. On to my first question. ACT, the one thing that everyone in the wrestling world wants to know is, why did you turn your back on 'Joshi Mafia,' a group you've been with since it's inception, to join 'Oedo Tai?'"

ACT Yasukawa (via Chiho Nishimori): "Watashi wa `Joshi Mafia' ni se o mukemasendeshita. Karera wa zutto mae ni jibun no senaka o watashi no ue ni modoshita. Karera wa itsumo Io, Mio, Kana, Mayu, oyobi Hikaru o shiji shite kimashita. Aja to Awesome Kong wa, watashi ga bakkuguraundo ni ita koto o tashikame, Manami wa sore o fusegu tame ni nani mo shinakatta. Watashi wa wasure rareta menbādeari, watashi wa sore ni tsukaremashita (I did not turn my back on 'Joshi Mafia.' They turned their backs on me long ago. They have always favored Io, Mio, Kana, Mayu, and Hikaru. Aja and Awesome Kong made sure I was kept in the background and Manami did nothing to prevent it. I was the forgotten member and I got tired of it)!"

Cruz: "So, you decided to join a rival group?"

Yasukawa: "Sore wa anata ga machigatte iru tokorodesu, Rōra. Watashi wa `Ōedo Taiko' ni sanka shimasendeshita. Watashi wa sore o hajimeta (That is where you are wrong, Laura. I did not join 'Oedo Tai.' I started it)!"

Cruz: "So, these past few weeks have been a ruse, whereby you remained in 'Joshi Mafia' and let 'Oedo Tai' come to be, knowing, all the while, it was your creation?"

Yasukawa: "Seikaku ni. Subete no yoi keikaku wa, kanpekina taimingu de nomi tassei sa remasu. Anata wa, kono keikaku no kanpekina toki ga Starrcadedeatta koto o shitte imasu. Jikan ga tadashikereba, `Joshi Mafia' ga sore o yosō shite inai toki made matte imashita. Sorekara, watashitachiha uchimashita (Precisely. All good plans come to fruition only in the perfect timing. You see, the perfect time for this plan was Starrcade. We waited until the time was right and when 'Joshi Mafia' least expected it. Then, we struck)!"

Cruz: "You shocked the wrestling world."

Yasukawa: "`Joshi Mafia'de wa itsumo bakkuguraundo ni imashita. `Ōedo Taishi'de wa, watashi wa sekai no mae ni iru hazudesu. Watashitachiha sekai ni shōgeki o ataemashita! Sugu ni, wareware wa sore o shihai surudeshou (With 'Joshi Mafia,' I was always in the background. With 'Oedo Tai,' I am in front of the world, as it should be! We did shock the world! Soon enough, we will rule it!)!"

Cruz: "You know that 'Joshi Mafia' will not let this stand."

Yasukawa: "`Joshi Mafia' wa watashitachi ni totte kyōide wa arimasen! Karera ga kuru yō ni! Watashitachiha haru ni atarashiku haeta kusa no yō ni sorera o karitorudeshou! `Ōedo Tarō' wa ima, monogoto o jikkō suru! `Joshi Mafia' ga owattara kowarete shimau ('Joshi Mafia' is no threat to us! Let them come! We will mow them down like freshly grown grass in the Spring! 'Oedo Tai' runs things now! 'Joshi Mafia' will be broken when we are finished with them)!"

Cruz: "How can you go from being such a close companion with 'Joshi Mafia' to hating them and wanting to see them destroyed, just like that?"

Yasukawa: "Kore wa watashi no kokoronouchi ni nan-kagetsu mo arimashita. `Joshi Mafia' wa, watashi ni ataisuru keii o watashi ni ataete kureta koto wa arimasen! Ima, watashi wa onaji burei de sorera o atsukaimasu! Karera wa, karera ga tōzen totta mono ni yotte hakai sa reru to kanjiru hōhō o shirudeshou (This has been in my mind for many months. 'Joshi Mafia' never gave me the respect that I deserve! So, now, I will treat them with the same disrespect! They will know how it feels to be destroyed by the one they took for granted)!"

Cruz: "Thank you for your time."

Yasukawa: "Rōra, sore wa anata no yorokobideshita (Laura, it has been your pleasure)!"

Cruz: "Indeed. Back to you, Madusa."

Miceli: "Wow! What an eye-opening interview with ACT Yasukawa, who basically set up 'Joshi Mafia' and started this whole 'Oedo Tai' group behind their backs! Here we thought Chelsea Diamond was the front woman, but she was working for ACT!"

Young: "My mind is blown right now!"

Santos: "This is like an episode of 'The Twilight Zone!'"

Miceli: "Fans, we'll be back with the World Championship celebration for Kairi Hojo! Stay with us!"

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

Commissioner Yuzuki Aikawa was introduced first, followed by General Manager AJ Lee.

AJ Lee: "Ladies and gentlemen, it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you, the new NWA World Women's Champion, Kairi Hojo!"

Kairi Hojo came out to a huge response, almost in tears at the ovation.

Lee: "Kairi, you have made this entire organization and our fans so proud! You are the number one female wrestler in the world!"

Kairi Hojo: "Thank you very much! I am honored!"

Lee: "You have overcome so much adversity this year. It's a testament to how tough you are that you have battled everything and now you hold two championships!"

Hojo: "My heart is full. So much disappointment this year, but only joy right now!"

Lee: "We know that you will be a proud and defending champion and that you will represent NWA: Femme Fatales well!"

Hojo: "I will fight everyday to keep this title! I will fight for everyone here! I love you all!"

Lee: "Ladies and gentlemen, please show your love for our World Champion, Kairi Hojo!"

Balloons and streamers fell from the rafters as the fans exploded with ovation. In the midst of the celebration, "Oedo Tai" came to ringside.

Chelsea Diamond: "Kairi Hojo is the biggest phony in the world! She doesn't even deserve to have either of those titles! She should be suspended right now!"

Lee: "Chelsea, you and your crew have no business out here right now! This is Kairi's time! And, that business about her being suspended is a joke! We have no reason to suspend her!"

Diamond: "Actually, yes you do. You see, I was that lying little poser's best friend, remember?! I know every one of her dirty little secrets! So, I know that Kairi Hojo was 'The Pirate Princess' all along! She was under that mask wrestling when she was supposed to be serving a ninety-day suspension! So, she should be gone for a year now!"

Lee: "Yeah, right! No one could prove that then and there's no way you can prove it now! I'm not suspending her based on an accusation! Get outta here!"

Diamond: "Just what I thought! Kairi Hojo is the fortunate one! She gets all the preferential treatment! Well, I am better than Kairi! I always have been and I always will be!"

Kairi Hojo grabbed the microphone from AJ Lee and began to shout at Chelsea.

Hojo: "Come on! You are better than me?! Prove it! Come on!"

Chelsea accepted the challenge of a street-clothed Hojo and jumped up into the ring, only to eat a "Superkick." Hojo began to wail on Diamond until "Oedo Tai" stormed the ring and began to beat on her. Yumi Ohka and Yoko Bito made the save, but were quickly overwhelmed. Finally, "Joshi Mafia" hit the ringside area and ran "Oedo Tai" off. Kairi Hojo, who had recovered, continued to scream at Chelsea, "Come on!"

Lee: "Next Thusrday! Kairi Hojo versus Chelsea Diamond, no disqualification! ACT Yasukawa will give Hikaru Shida a rematch for the TV Title! And, Io and Mio will face 'Twizted Sisterz' too! 'Oedo Tai' wants to prove they're the best in this company! Well, next week is their chance!"

Miceli: "Now, that's a loaded episode we have for next week! What a line-up! I can't wait for it!"

Young: "That is going to be a show for the ages!"

Santos: "'Oedo Tai' wants to be at the top of the mountain. Well, they are in three main event caliber matches on next week's program!"

Miceli: "Fans, you cannot miss this huge episode! We're running out of time. Join us right here on TNT next Thursday for Femme Fatales! For Renee Young and Melissa Santos, I'm Madusa Miceli. Keep on rockin' and rollin'!"
