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...

At first there's nothing but the EBWF logo front and center. Just a moment later lightning can be heard and we see the words "OEDO TAI" spray painted over it. Equally as suddenly the camera pans down, revealing that the defaced logo was painted on a banner hanging from the wall. Standing j...

We find ourselves in the Gateway To Glory interview area where the Genius of the Sky is clearly unhappy with her situation. She paces back and forth like a caged, predatory animal. Every now and then she shoots glares at the camera and half sheers as she continues to gather her thoughts. IO SHIRAI: ...

The first thing we hear is the sound of an old film projector clacking away out of view as an actual silver screen is suddenly filled with cover. A countdown flashes before us, each number interspersed with a split second glimpse of a pair of eyes glaring down the camera with steely resolve. With ea...

We open on an empty space somewhere backstage at the Delta Center. Not even an official EBWF backdrop decorates it, it's just a cement wall with some somewhat shoddy lighting. After a moment we see a long shadow being cast - a woman carrying a folding chair. Mina Shirakawa steps into the frame a few...

In the plaza between the Moda Center and the Portland Veterans Memorial Coliseum, we find Utami Hayashishita standing with her hands on her hips. If one follows her gaze they’ll find she’s looking up at the banners advertising Total Supremacy. There’s a clear focus in her eyes as she ponders the mon...

Video uploaded to various social media and EBWF.net. We’re welcomed by the strains of ‘Say What You Will’ by Myles Kennedy as the Queen of the Ring fills the screen. It’s painted on a stone wall but somehow seems to gleam in the dim twilight surrounding it. A pair of television screens are mounted ...

Creak-creak-creak-creak. Her feet cautiously tread over the rickety, dilapidated floorboards as she walks through a musty darkened hall. Dust particles float through the air and dot what little light seeps in from outside. The eerie silence of the scene is occasionally punctuated by the sound of rol...
