We open on near complete darkness. A sliver of light cuts through it just enough to cast a moving shadow within. Without being able to ascertain the details, it's clearly someone with a small frame. She stands with her head hung in concentration. From the vague shapes the eye can make out, she's fac...

https://i.imgur.com/id8eY9A.png Far from the soon to be rocking confines of Amerant Bank Arena as Last Survivor 2025 draws ever near. Far from the darkness which has traditionally accompanied Oedo Tai in its EBWF run. That’s where we find the Venus of Oedo Tai and her teammate Himeka. Out in the sl...

We find ourselves right at ringside in the INTRUST Bank Arena just a few hours before the opening bell of Warfare. Save for the absence of fans, you’d expect the show to start at any moment. There’s even talent in the ring that’s likely been set up just a few minutes before. Mina Shirakawa, the Venu...

Contrary to what might be expected under the circumstances, there’s no exciting video package to introduce the EBWF Universe to their high profile signing. No highlights of her countless past conquests. Not even a slide show of big moments or a progression of her growth as a wrestler, courtesy of Wo...

There’s no rolling back of match footage to remind the world of recent events. No deep cuts to expose the opposition’s dirty little secrets, nor dramatic teasers of oncoming darkness. Just an empty room with furniture strewn about as if a pocket sized hurricane passed through a few minutes before. A...

The view isn’t that of the dramatic Chicago skyline, nor of any of the landmarks within the Windy City. Nor do we find ourselves somewhere within the historic United Center where another all-time great secured his legacy over a decade. Instead it’s the clinical beige, white and eggshell tones of a p...

The Fanniversary logo is front and center, its metallic golden tone glinting in a distant light. As ‘One More Time' by Tremonti plays in the background, we zoom in on the logo to see a gold tinted montage unfolding. First a younger Tam Nakano making her first entrance on Monday Night Warfare, then h...

When the feed goes live we see Mina Shirakawa sitting comfortably in a chair in front of an Oedo Tai logo. With one leg crossed over the other she looks as if she's lounging at home. Mina Shirakawa: Oh, so I see that Liv's defeat at the hands of Tam-Tam last week wasn't enough of a lesson. You'd thi...

We begin with what for most fans is a painful replay of the previous week’s happenings. For a moment, Rebellious Angels look to finally have the advantage over Oedo Tai. The crowd is going wild in anticipation of a big babyface win after the constant terror unleashed by the dominant heels. Then it a...
