We open with a scene of a horizon, the sun slowly rising lighting the sky orange and the ground below seemingly black. The view shimmers with the heat being generated. The deep gruff voiceover of every action film in memory speaks over it as the Sun continues to rise.
Voiceover: For centuries armies of noble Samurai fought for the honour of their Masters.
The scene fades to someone in a kimono, silhouetted against the Sun as they perform a slow graceful kata with a katana.
Voiceover: They were scholars and philosophers who resigned themselves to death in their duties.
A brief shrill scream disturbs the peace accompanied by a second of film with someone being cracked with a steel chair before returning to the previous scene.
Voiceover: But on May 10th, there will be no honour.
Another scream and a shot of someone busted open, blood over their face and hand.
Voiceover: No mercy.
A second of film as someone is power bombed onto barbed wire.
Voiceover: And no…holds…barred!
The rest of the video package plays, going through brutal brawls from throughout the roster, finally ending with shots of Jack Severino being spread eagled against the barbed wire cage of the Battleground by Kiseragi and BoolZ, then Kiseragi Yari Kicking Travis off the top of the Cage at Distant Whispers, then Travis’s famous shooting star press to regain the title at Horizons. Finishing with the No Holds Barred: Rising Sun logo we fade into the arena.
Vinegar: Welcome Sports Entertainment fans to another exciting edition of GIW Sentinel. We’re just one week from Global Impact Wrestling’s most brutal and violent PPV in history.
Hanson: And this close to being rounded up and burnt for destroying the minds of the nations youth.
Vinegar: That too.
Hanson: I’ve got a plan though. We’ll tell them we were all playing Manhunt 2 and it made us act this way.
Vinegar: I don’t think that going to work.
Hanson: While listening to gangster rap and death metal?
Vinegar: Hey you may be onto- no, what am I saying?
Hanson: That the H-Train is on the right track.
Teahouse starts to play…
Vinegar: Oh thank God.
…to a mixed and unsure reaction, many fans still unsure what to make of the Dragon’s recent behaviour. He walks down towards the ring in his wrestling gear with one of his own t-shirts on. He slides into the ring and asks for a microphone as his music cuts out. Mitchell Dennis passes him one and he paces around the ring briefly before raising it to his mouth. There are some loud jeers from the crowd and Alex lowers the mic again, waiting for them to die down before beginning.
Vinegar: Not the usual kind of respect we expect the Dragon to be treated with here.
Hanson: That’s because once more he’s dropping his holier than though principles when it suits him and these people see through that.
Vinegar: Maybe so but these are hardly conventional circumstances and I think we should give him the benefit of the doubt for the time being.
Kiseragi: Two weeks ago, in this ring, a very close friend of mine was seriously hurt. She was hurt because someone was careless, irresponsible and thoughtless. That someone was Chinatsu Chen.
Cheers of support go up for the Oriental Firecracker and Alex hesitates again, waiting for quiet.
Kiseragi: Last week I taught Chinatsu Chen a lesson. Don’t mistake my actions for animalistic rage. I showed Chinatsu how it feels to be in the ring with someone who outclasses you and has no regard for your well being.
Hanson: Outclassed my ass.
Vinegar: In all fairness, it was a pretty comfortable win.
Hanson: Are you siding with this guy?
Vinegar: No, just being objective.
Hanson: Well stop it.
Kiseragi: That was the single task I set out to achieve. I was going to leave things right there. But when the Crimson Ghost charged down to attack me with that chain he reminded me of a few things. He reminded me that the apple never falls far from the tree. He reminded me that just like I learnt the virtues of honour and justice from my Father, Chinatsu Chen’s attitude stems from him.
Hanson: Oh this is ridiculous. It was an accident for gods sake.
Kiseragi: Which reminded me that over two months ago at Infinity the Crimson Ghost screwed me out of my chance to walk away GIW’s most Valuable Asset. So I started thinking, we’re only a week away from heading back to my spiritual home for the most violent PPV in GIW’s history and I still don’t have a match.
Hanson: Yeah, because everyone’s bored of watching you kick stuff.
Kiseragi: That’s why I’m challenging you Crimson Ghost to settle the scores at No Holds Barred: Rising Sun, you and me in a Dragon’s Cave match!
Vinegar: In a what now?
There’s a great pop from the crowd who most likely don’t know what they’re cheering about but are excited none the less.
Kiseragi: The Dragon’s Cave match up has three elements.
Alex holds up three fingers, then takes down two.
Kiseragi: First, it is a Taipei Deathmatch. Both of us will wrap our hands, cover them in glue and coat them in broken glass.
Vinegar: Just for starters? I don’t like where this is going.
Kiseragi: Now you see I could have just stopped there. But I realised someone like you would most likely run away, that’s why I need to make sure doing so doesn’t feel so appealing. Secondly, like any great Dragon’s Cave, the flames will lick at your skin as they burn around the ring.
Alex slowly turns, pointing along each edge of the ring in turn.
Kiseragi: But just in case you chance the flames, third, the ground itself will turn against you. All around the ring we’re going to pour out hot coals!
Vinegar: Hot coals!?
Kiseragi: So you see there is going to be no escape for you. We’re going to settle this, justice is going to be done and I’m going to show these people who you really are. I may even tear that stupid mask off your god damn face. If you don’t believe me, wait about an hour and I’ll give you a little preview.
Vinegar: Tonight Alex Kiseragi teams up with Ezekiel to take on the Crimson Ghost and Tobias Erndhart. I have a feeling it’s going to get brutal.
Hanson: Oh whatever. Don’t we have a match to be getting on with?
Vinegar: You’re right, up first we have the first of our two No Holds Barred preview matches as JK, Tim Kinglsey and Sean Cyanide battle it out.
Hanson: On second thoughts, never mind.
Teahouse starts to play again as Alex drops the mic onto the mat. He swiftly drops out to arena floor and disappears to the back once again.
