"Femme Fatales" TV Taping Number 69 (Week 137)

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! Tonight is the night! We will have one of the most important main events in the history of this company right here!"

Renee Young: "Tonight is the night! Two rings. One cage. Either 'Joshi Mafia' disbands forever, or both 'Oedo Tai' and 'The Dynasty' will!"

Melissa Santos: "I said it last week! Something's gotta give and it will here tonight! This is going to be an epic hour!"

Miceli: "You took the words right out of my mouth!"

Before anyone could speak again, these themes played on the tron:

Priscilla Kelly came sauntering out to the ring in street clothes.

On this night, she had evil red eyes glowing. She stood silent in the ring for several seconds before speaking.

Priscilla Kelly: "Last week, I emerged victorious over everyone's favorite little pirate, Kairi Hojo. That makes me the number one contender to the Femme Fatales Women's Championship. Now, I miss my little trophy. We became quite attached. It's time for her to come home. Charlotte Flair, you possess something that belongs to me. You've had it long enough. I'm going to take it back. It's time to play."

As Kelly went to leave the ring, Charlotte's theme blared.

Charlotte then appeared on the tron in one of her custom made robes.

Charlotte Flair: "So, Priscilla Kelly has decided to run with the thoroughbreds, has she? Well honey, you're not ready to challenge me! I am genetically superior, while you are just a little girl in a woman's world! You say it's time to play. Charlotte Flair isn't here to play! When my name is on the marquee, it's serious business! You may be the number one contender, but there is a world of distance between you and I! But, if you want to lay out the challenge to me, I'll accept it. See you soon. Woooo!"

Kelly got a devilish grin on her face as she walked away.

Miceli: "Whoa! It looks like we'll be seeing a title match between Charlotte and Priscilla Kelly in the near future! Yes, please! Fans, let's take a quick break! We'll be back with our first match-up next!"

Miceli: "We're back! Let's go to the ring for a rematch from last week!"

Match One ~ The Starlight Kid vs. Amber Nova

This match was much different than last week. They were given a twenty-minute time limit since they could not settle in fifteen seven days prior. However, this one was not going the distance, as both ladies worked very aggressively to end it. Nova used all of her normal offense to subdue Kid, but the youngster would have none of it. She used her aerial expertise and quickness to offset the bigger Nove. Amber attempted to end the match with a submission hold she dubs "Novacaine" ("Cattle Mutilation"). Kid writhed in pain as Nova held on for dear life. Then, Kid did the miraculous. She actually flipped herself over on top of Nova for the flash pin before Amber could untangle her arms.

Winner = The Starlight Kid by pinfall in 16:03

Miceli: "What a reversal! Starlight Kid gets the win!"

Young: "I didn't think there was any escape from "Novacaine," but The Starlight Kid pulled off one for the ages!"

Santos: "What a win for The Starlight Kid against Amber Nova! She is an impressive little lady!"

Miceli: "Fans, we're going to take another quick break! We'll be back with 'War Games!' Stay with us!"

Miceli: "We're back! Fans, this is it! we've seen this thing escalate week after week. Yumi Ohka and Manami Toyota have both been injured as a result of this feud. All the talking has been done. Now, it's put up or shut up! Somebody is going to lose their faction tonight! It's time for 'War Games!'"

Match Two ~ "War Games" (two rings enclosed by a steel cage) ~ Losing team must disband its faction ~ "Joshi Mafia" (Aja Kong, Awesome Kong, Kana, Io Shirai, Mio Shirai, Hikaru Shida, & Syuri with team Captain "The Boss" Manami Toyota) vs. "Superpowers" ("Oedo Tai" {Kris Wolf, Tam Nakano, & Hana Kimura} and "The Dynasty" {Sumire Natsu, Maya Yukihi, Aoi Kizuki, & Moeka Haruhi} with team Captain Yumi Ohka)

"Superpowers" made their entrance first.

Oddly enough, Tam Nakano had her left arm in a sling. "Joshi Mafia" then made its entrance.

Yumi Ohka reiterated that Tam would compete even though she was injured. The crowd was at a fever pitch for the first five-minute period, which saw Mio Shirai take on Kris Wolf. Mio dominated Wolf, nearly tapping her out in a "Fujiwara Amrbar," though it would not have counted. The coin toss would decide the advantage. "Joshi Mafia" won and sent in Kana, who wailed on Wolf as she was joined by her "Sadistic Tails" mate. "Joshi Mafia" positioned itself as the aggressor throughout. They probably didn't need the advantage anyway, due to their size, strength, and skill. But, the coin toss made it almost a foregone conclusion that they would continue their dominance in NWA: Femme Fatales. Maya Yukihi was next, followed by Io Shirai, Hana Kimura, Hikaru Shida, Moeka Haruhi, Syuri, Sumire Natsu, Awesome Kong, Aoi Kizuki, and Aja Kong. "Joshi Mafia" dominated the last two-minute run. Tam Nakano looked trepidatious as she prepared to enter the match. Ohka screamed encouragement at her. Nakano entered the match, thus making it official, and her entire demeanor changed. She immediately took off her sling and dumped out several pairs of handcuffs into the ring. The "injury" was a ruse to get weapons into the match. Manami Toyota protested to the referees, to no avail. 'War Games' is a 'No Disqualification' match by nature. Once the cage door was shut and locked for the final time, there was nothing the referees could do to stop the match. Only a team Captain symbolically "throwing in" her white towel would end the match. Nakano picked up two pairs of handcuffs and blasted the Kongs. She then began to hand out sets to each of her teammates. All of the members of "Joshi Mafia" were soon cuffed and essentially defenseless. Then, the beatings really began. Each member of "Joshi Mafia" was bloodied by the end of it. Eventually, Io Shirai, who was cuffed with her arms behind her back, was then being strangled by Natsu, who wrapped a set of cuffs around her throat. Io was gasping for air and began to turn purple. Yumi Ohka was screaming at Manami Toyota, "Taoru o nageru to kore ga owarimasu (Throw in the towel and this will be over)!" Toyota hesitated because she knew what a loss would mean. But, every member of her squad was handcuffed to the ring ropes at this point and Io had already passed out, her hands at her sides while Sumire Natsu continued to choke the very life out of her with the cold steel of the handcuffs. A tear rolled down Toyota's face as she screamed, "No!," at the top of her lungs. She shook her head violently, then dropped her towel and sank to the arena floor with her head in her hands.

Winners = "Superpowers" by submission in 39:44 ("Joshi Mafia" must disband)

Miceli: "Oh my Lord! We never thought we'd see the day where 'Joshi Mafia' wasn't around! They've been here since day one, dominating the competition!"

Young: "This is such a surreal moment, as they're all handcuffed to the ring ropes, while Io Shirai lays lifeless, gasping for air. I can't believe it!"

Santos: "It's unimaginable! 'Joshi Mafia' has gone to war with one another for over two years, literally since this company opened its doors! To think that they are no more, I can't wrap my head around it!"

Miceli: "And, no one can fault Manami for throwing in the towel. She let it go as long as she could. Io was already out and was turning many shades of red. She was a goner if Toyota doesn't end it. Wow! I still cannot believe it!"

"Superpowers" left the ring, many of their ranks limping and staggering. They raised each others' hands at the entrance ramp before walking to the back. Tam Nakano threw a key at Senior Referee Carly Rae and smiled. Rae quickly rushed into the ring and freed all of 'Joshi Mafia,' including Io Shirai, who was being assessed by trainers. She was breathing heavily, finally taking in gulps of air she had been deprived of at the match's conclusion. Her former stable mates helped her to her feet, where she was embraced by a sobbing Manami Toyota. The fans began a "Joshi Mafia" chant as the seven fallen warriors stood in the ring, blood soaked and anguished. They finally had a group hug that led to a standing ovation. Many fans were shown in the crowd with tears streaming down their cheeks. "Joshi Mafia" took a final bow as they began to exit the ring. Io and Manami left arm-in-arm. The fans continued to cheer as Madusa closed out the program.

Miceli: "We are seeing the end of an era. Like them or not, 'Joshi Mafia' terrorized this entire roster since the inception of NWA: Femme Fatales. They started out as a hated entity. But, they were so good for so long, they became the most respected group here. We'll see what the future holds for all of these superstars, some of the very best in the world. That future starts now. Fans, please join us next Thursday on TNT for more Femme Fatales! For Renee Young and Melissa Santos, I'm Madusa Miceli! Keep on rockin' and rollin'!"
