And now, Anime Wrestling Federation Presents: Anime Mania III!
(Big Time by The Soundtrack of Our Lives Plays as the intro to AWF Anime Mania III. Fireworks and pyros goes off the stage and Titantron before the camera circles around the crowd inside the Seibu Dome)
"It only happens once a year, welcome to Anime Mania III, live in the same place that hosted the finals of NJPW GI Climax 24, Seibu Dome!" Wataru cheered.
"It's an honor for us to commentate in this spectacular event for the first time in our careers, especially in our home country! And tonight, we'll try our best to give you the best commentary for this event!" Hayato promised.
"The following is a Tag Team Match, for the AWF Tag Team Championship!" Yui announced.
(Forces of Nature by Dale Oliver Plays)
Kouji and Kouichi appeared on the stage and after howling like a wolf to the skies, the two brothers heads to the ring while greeting fans along the way.
"Introducing the challengers, both from Shibuya, the team of Kouji Minamoto and Kouichi Kimura, the Japanese Wolves!" Yui announced.
"And what a way to kick start the show as we'll start of this event with a Tag Team title match!" Wataru cheered.
"Here are the challengers folks, Kouji and Kouichi, two brothers who within weeks after debuting, made an impact by becoming an instant pair of contenders for the Tag Team titles, currently held by Team HeroKazu." Hayato pointed.
(Devious by Dale Oliver Plays)
Hirokazu and Kenta Moonwalked themselves to the stage before high fiving and fist bumping on each other, leading to a huge spray of juice being fired off from the stage. The two then head to the ring while ordering the fans to worship them.
"And their opponents, both from Shinjuku, they are the current AWF Tag Team Champions, the team of Hirokazu Shiota and Kenta Kitagawa, Team HeroKazu!" Yui announced.
"These two may not be Beer Money, but damn they sure had a huge amount of drinks to be wasted on something like this." Klein pointed.
"This match has been set a few weeks ago after Kouji and Kouichi won a No 1 Contenders Match against the Celestrial Being. And last month Kouji and Kouichi were about to win the titles from the CB, only to have Team HeroKazu dump them out and pick up the scraps." Taisuke explained.
"Without the Celestrial Being around this time, Kouji and Kouichi may be able to win the belt tonight. Either that or Team HeroKazu would retain and have a juice bath after this match." Klein continued.
(Bell Rings)
Hirokazu and Kouji starts first. The two confront each other in the middle of the ring until Hirokazu shoves Kouji away and demanded him to worship him. Kouji however responded with a punch to the face instead, knocking Hirokazu towards the ropes. Hirokazu then throws a punch which was caught by Kouji before Kouji kicks Hirokazu's gut, wrenches his arm, went to the second ropes and knocks him away with a Springboard Arm Drag! Once Hirokazu gets himself up and turns around, Kouji knocks him down with a Standing Dropkick before going for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,..." Hirokazu kicks out.
After dragging Hirokazu to the corner, Kouji tags himself to Kouichi before the two brothers picked Hirokazu up, slams him onto the corner and take turns blasting his chest with several Knife Edge Chops! The two then plants Hirokazu with a Double Suplex before Kouichi went to the ring apron and nails Hirokazu with a Slingshot Senton followed by a pin. (1,2,... Hirokazu kicks out) Once Kouichi picks him up, Hirokazu blinds him with a Thumb to the Eyes and after knocking Kouji with a Back Elbow to the face, Hirokazu charges towards his corner only to eat a Jumping Knee to the chest by Kouichi instead! Kouichi then slams Hirokazu onto the corner and tags himself to Kouji before ignoring Hirokazu's beg for mercy and take turns blasting his chest with several Knife Edge Chops again!
"Nice try Hirokazu, but that's what happens when you're stupid enough to treat a pair of wolves like a joke! Now you can't escape from them!" Wataru reacted.
"Hirokazu's chest has to be burning red by now after taking those chops." Taisuke observed.
Kouji picks Hirokazu up and plants him down with a Northern Lights Suplex for the pin. (1,2,... Hirokazu kicks out) Hirokazu then crawled towards the ropes and grabs it, forcing the referee to pull Kouji away from him. Kouji then tags himself to Kouichi and once Hirokazu gets up using the ropes, Kouichi goes to Clothesline him out of the ring only to get elbow tackled away to the face before Kenta tags himself in without Kouichi noticing it. Hirokazu then charges towards Kouichi only to eat a Tilt-a-Whirl Backbreaker before Kouichi goes for the pin... only to have the referee not counting it! Kouichi then questions the referee...
... until Kenta from behind goes for a roll up pin!
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Kouichi kicks out!
"So close! Kenta sneaky plan nearly gave his team the win!" Klein reacted.
Once the two gets up, Kouichi goes for a Clothesline only to get caught before Kenta plants him with a STO followed by another pin. (1,2,... Kouichi kicks out) After rolling Kouichi towards the corner, Kenta punches his face several times before choking him out until the ref pulls him away. After tagging himself to Hirokazu, Kenta proceeded to stomp on the seated Kouichi several times before Foot Choking him until the referee pulls him away, allowing Hirokazu from the other corner to drill Kouichi with a Bronco Buster! After dragging Kouichi away from the corner, Hirokazu goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Kouichi kicks out.
After dragging Kouichi towards the corner, Hirokazu tags himself to Kenta before the two friends placed him sitting on the corner and stomped him together several times before Double Foot Choking him until the ref pulls them away. (Kenta: That's for my friend's chest!) Hirokazu then tells Kenta to go for a Super-Plex before lying himself down, lift his knees up and shouts 'Off With His Bone!' to him. Kenta then picks Kouichi up and places him on the top turnbuckle before climbing to the top as well and sets for a Super-Plex onto Hirokazu's knees. Kouichi however manages to stun Kenta with several punches to the ribs before he knocks him down with an European Uppercut, sending him crashing back first onto Hirokazu's knees!
"Back first onto the knees! Who knew that Kenta's easy to be knocked down like that?" Hayato reacted.
Once Hirokazu gets himself up, Kouichi plants him down with a Tornado DDT from the top turnbuckle!
"Last burst by Kouichi! Now all he needs to do is tag himself to Kouji!" Wataru reacted while the crowd are clapping their hands in support for Kouichi.
"With both members of Team HeroKazu down, this is a perfect chance for the brothers to fight back to victory!" Hayato continued.
After a while, Kouichi manages to crawl towards the corner and tags himself to Kouji! Once both members of Team HeroKazu got themselves up, Kouji went to the top rope and knocks both of them away with a Springboard Dropkick and with the duo near the ropes, Kouji goes to Clothesline both of them out of the ring only to get Back Body Dropped over the top rope instead. Kouji however manages to safely land on the ring apron and after knocking Hirokazu away with a Forearm to the face before knocking Kenta away with an Enzuigiri to the face, Kouji went to the top rope once again and this time, he plants both of them with a Double Springboard DDT! Once both Team HeroKazu members rolled themselves out of the ring, Kouji bounces off the ropes and goes for a Suicide Dive, but Hirokazu manages to push Kenta away before eating the Suicide Dive!
"Now that's friendship folks! Hirokazu sacrificed himself to save Kenta from getting pounded by Kouji!" Klein praised.
"Don't get too relived Kenta..." Wataru reminded before Kenta turned himself around...
... and eats a Suicide Dive by Kouichi!
"Kenta may had avoided the first dive, but there's no way he'll avoid another one like that!" Wataru reacted.
As the crowd are chanting for the faces, Kouichi picks Kenta up and threw him back into the ring before going after Hirokazu. After Kouichi picks him up, Hirokazu rakes his eyes before slamming him face first onto the guardrail! Meanwhile, Kouji went to the ring apron and once Kenta gets himself up, he tackles him to the gut before going for the pin with a Slingshot Sunset Flip. (1,2,... Kenta kicks out) Once the two gets up, Kouji kicks Kenta's knee and with Kenta on a kneeling position, Kouji knocks him out with the Creeping Death! After turning Kenta around, Kouji climbs to the top turnbuckle and howls around with the crowd.
"The fun reign of Team HeroKazu may be put to an end here!" Hayato pointed.
Hirokazu however manages to stop Kouji by grabbing his legs before Kouji manages to stomp on his face until he fell off the ring apron! Before Kouji could do anything else, Kenta manages to knock him down sitting painfully onto the top turnbuckle before climbing to the top as well and plants him down with the Flux Capacitor!
"Flux Capacitor! The reign of HeroKazu are here to stay!" Klein reacted while Kenta goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Kouichi stops the count!
"Not quite! Kouichi's there to save his brother!" Hayato reacted.
Kouichi picks Kenta up and goes for an Irish Whip towards the ropes only to have it reversed instead. Kouichi then goes for a Handspring Back Elbow Smash, but Kenta manages to move away from it before grabbing him from behind and plants him down with the Skull Crushing Finale! He then went towards Kouji only to get a Small Package pin! (1,2,... Kenta kicks out!) The two quickly crawled towards their corner with Hirokazu making a sneak tag and once the two gets up, Kenta goes for a Running High Knee onto Kouji's face. Kouji however manages to move out of the way, sending Kenta crashing onto the corner instead. With Kenta stuck on the corner, Kouji lifts him up and plants him down with a Powerbomb before putting him on the Cloverleaf!
"Submission locked in! Middle of the ring! Kenta may be forced to tap out!" Wataru reacted before Kenta immidiately taps out... with the ref not stopping the match!
"I think Kouji didn't realize that Hirokazu made the tag to Kenta, thus making him the legal man instead!" Taisuke observed as Kouji questioned the referee before turning around...
... and eats a kick to the gut by Hirokazu before he follows it up with the Moonlight Drive! He then went to the corner and nails him with the Best Moonsault Ever before going for the pin while Kenta stops Kouichi from trying to make the tag.
The referee counts, "1,2,3!"
"And the champs retain the belt!" Klein cheered while Team HeroKazu immidiately leave the ring before getting their tag title belts back.
"Here are your winners and STILL your AWF Tag Team Champions, Team HeroKazu!" Yui announced.
"Both Kouji and Kouichi tried their best. Hell, they even managed to dominate on the tag champs at one point! But in the end, Team HeroKazu retains the belt using their sneaky tactics." Wataru said.
"You call it sneaky, I call it smart. They managed to fool Kouji into thinking that he had won only to reveal that it was a false alarm after all." Klein defended.
"With that defeat, I believe those two will be dropped back to the bottom of the ladder in the Tag Team Division while new opponents shall await Team HeroKazu in the near future." Taisuke said.
...
Once both teams went backstage, the arena went silent for a while...
Beat Beat Beat Beat Beat Beat Down Clan...
Beat Beat Beat
Beat Down Clan...
("The Anthem" by Jess Jamez & MVP Plays)
The stage turns dark and red before the Chimeras appeared on the stage, donning red devil masks on their faces while respectively carrying baseball bats. The Chimeras then heads to the ring while Seiji and Oga threatens the crowd to not touching them by attempting to swung their bats towards the crowd.
"The following in a Hardcore 8 Match Tag Team Match set for one fall! Introducing first, the team of Seiji Sawamura, Oga Tatsumi, Yusuke Urameshi and Masaru Daimon, the Chimeras!" Yui announced.
"From Tag Match to gang warfare, this is our second match of the evening folks! And trust us, there will be damaged bodies in the end." Klein pointed.
"This match has been set ever since Masaru screwed Jotaro out of the Chamber Match without him being eliminated with the help of his teammates. Some say today that Jotaro is still in the Chamber Match despite already been over a month ago." Taisuke explained.
"Throughout a number of weeks, tonight included, Jotaro received one allies after another. Now both sides are even in this battle." Hayato continued.
Then the arena turns dark with a voice where a motorcycle is about to start itself were heard.
(Superhuman by CFO$ Plays)
Then the spotlight shines upon the left side of the stage before it shines upon the left-middle side, then the right-middle side and lastly the right side of the stage. The process then repeats itself before the spotlight dissapears, turning the arena back into darkness. In a few seconds, the lights went back on, with Domon Kasshu, Eikichi Onizuka, Jotaro Kujo and Simon the Digger appeared on the stage while holding steel chairs.
"And their opponents, the team of Domon Kasshu, Simon the Digger, Eikichi Onizuka and Jotaro Kujo!" Yui announced while the Chimeras charges straight towards the faces who are heading to the ring.
"Looks like there's no time to waste! The Chimeras wants to fight them right off the bat!" Taisuke pointed as the two teams headed towards each other.
(Bell Rings)
The faces threw their chairs with the heels knocking them away with their baseball bats before the faces manages to attack the heels. The two teams brawled on the entrance ramp until Domon and Seiji brawled to the ring on the left while Simon and Oga brawled to the ring on the right. Back to the ramp, Jotaro and Onizuka respectively brawled with Masaru and Yusuke with Yusuke managing to blind Onizuka with a Thumb to the Eye and slams him face first onto the guardrail. After pounding on Masaru, Jotaro Irish Whips him towards Yusuke only to have Yusuke moving out of the way, allowing Masaru to Clothesline Onizuka into the crowd.

On the other side, Oga brawled with Simon until he stuns him with a Headbutt to the face and slams him face first onto the guardrail before throwing him crashing onto the Steel Steps!
"So many things going on at once, I don't think we could say anything about this situation!" Klein pointed.
Oga turns himself around and eats a chair to the face which was thrown by Jotaro before Jotaro picks Oga up and Irish Whips him towards Domon, allowing Domon to catch him and plants him with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex onto the floor! While Jotaro enters the ring, Domon picks Oga up and throws him face first onto the ring post before throwing him back into the ring. While Seiji knocks Domon down from behind with a Chop Block to the leg before beating Domon down, Jotaro went towards Oga who's on the ropes and after begging for mercy, Oga kicks Jotaro to the nuts before he knocks him away with an European Uppercut! After getting up using the ropes, Oga charges towards Jotaro only to get caught and planted down with Baron Corbin's End of Days!
"End of Days! A quick finish to wrap up this battle!" Wataru reacted while Jotaro goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Seiji stops the count.
"That was close! Seiji just save his team from an anti-climatic finish to this battle!" Taisuke reacted.
After turning Jotaro around, Seiji drills Jotaro with several forearms to the face before choking him out for a while. Once Jotaro gets up using the ropes, Seiji goes to Clothesline him out of the ring only to get Back Body Dropped over the top rope instead. After landing his feet on the ring apron, Seiji knocks Jotaro away with a Jawbreaker onto the ropes before setting up for a Slingshot Shoulder Tackle. Onizuka, from the crowd, pulls Seiji down face first onto the ring apron before he lifts Seiji up and drops him with a Snake Eyes onto the guardrail! While Onizuka throws Seiji face first onto the ring post, Jotaro goes after Masaru who's on the ring apron before Masaru retreated to the floor. Jotaro then turns around and eats a Chair Shot to the gut by Yusuke before Yusuke whacks his back with another!
"Talk about deja vu! Jotaro has eaten his own medicine with those chair shots!" Taisuke pointed.
Onizuka then turns Yusuke around and kicks him to the gut before slamming him face first onto the corner, turns him around and drills him with several Boxing Jabs until Masaru attacks him from behind and throws him shoulder first onto the ring post! He then lifts Onizuka up and sets for the F-U, but Onizuka manages to slip away before setting up for the German Suplex. Masaru however manages to stun Onizuka with several elbow tackles to the face before moving to his back, pushes him crashing onto the ropes and goes for the roll up pin. (1,2,... Onizuka kicks out) Once the two gets up, Masaru manages to kick Onizuka away to the face, allowing Yusuke to whack Onizuka with a chair shot to the gut followed by a DDT onto the chair!

Once Yusuke bounces off the ropes, Onizuka sets for a Back Body Drop only to get a kick to the face instead before Yusuke bounces off the ropes and goes for a Lariat. Onizuka however dodges it before grabbing Yusuke from behind and plants him with a released German Suplex! Once Yusuke gets himself up using the ropes, Onizuka, alongside a recovered Jotaro, Double Clotheslines him out of the ring before turning around and Back Body Drops both Masaru and Oga out of the ring as well! Before Jotaro and Onizuka could even proceed to do anything else, Seiji enters the ring and Double Clotheslines them out of the ring and once Jotaro and Onizuka gets up, Seiji bounces off the ropes and knocks both men down with a Suicide Dive!
"It's rare to see a guy with a body shape of a gangsta like Seiji pulling a high risk move like that! All men are now down and out!" Taisuke reacted.
"Not so fast! We forgot about Jotaro's third ally!" Hayato pointed as Simon from the ring apron heads towards the corner before climbing to the top turnbuckle.
"Get ready to taste the power of the Lagann Impact!" Wataru shouted as once everyone got themselves up, Simon dove himself crashing upon everyone else!
"Simon's dive is so powerful, it causes both foes and allies around the impact to collapse!" Hayato reacted.
While Domon enters the ring, Simon helps Onizuka to get himself up before the duo throws Oga, Seiji and Yusuke back into the ring. After entering the ring, Simon, Onizuka and Domon seems to be agreeing on something before the trio respectively picks Oga, Seiji and Yusuke up and then plants them with simultaneous Triple Rolling German Suplexes!
"The trainers of JAW are schooling the hell out of the Chimeras!" Wataru cheered.
"If Brock Lesnar didn't accept Domon, Simon and Onizuka as citizens of Suplex City after that, I don't know what else will!" Taisuke said while the small part of the crowd (aka the foreigners) chanted 'Suplex City!'.
The trio then sets up for their signature moves with Simon climbing to the top turnbuckle setting up for a Diving Headbutt, Domon setting for the Shining Finger (Mandible Claw) and Onizuka setting up for a Chokeslam. Once Seiji and Oga gets up, Onizuka grabs Seiji's throat while Domon puts Oga on the Shining Finger while Simon only gets pushed off the turnbuckle and onto the floor by Masaru! After pushing Seiji and Oga away, Domon and Onizuka goes for a Double Clothesline only to have Masaru break himself through it before he bounces off the ropes and knocks Onizuka out with a Superman Punch... while having a brass knuckle equipped on said punch! He then lifts Domon up and sets for the F-U, but Domon manages to grab the ropes which doesn't matter since Masaru would threw him out of the ring with a F-U anyway!
"Masaru's fired up! He's taking out all three JAW Trainers at once!" Klein cheered.
"And now, it's time to send Onizuka back to JAW!" Taisuke pointed as Seiji, Oga and Yusuke lifts Onizuka up and plants him down with the Triple Powerbomb!
"Triple Powerbomb! Will the Chimeras score the huge win?" Klein reacted as Masaru goes for the pin while Seiji, Oga and Yusuke stops Jotaro from breaking the count.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Jotaro stops the count by pushing Seiji, Oga and Yusuke onto Masaru!
"Jotaro just pushed 3 people at once to stop the count! That's one unbelievable showing of power right there!" Wataru reacted.
While Seiji and Oga were ordered to throw Onizuka and Domon into the crowd, Masaru and Yusuke picks Jotaro up and Irish Whips him bouncing off the ropes before going for a Double Clothesline. Jotaro however breaks through it before knocking Masaru down with a Discus Clothesline! He then no sells a punch by Yusuke before grabbing his throat, slams him onto the corner and drills him with multiple rapid fire punches to the head with the crowd chanting 'Ora Ora Ora Ora Ora!" during the process! Masaru turns Jotaro around and goes to punch him with the brass knuckled fist, but Jotaro catches his arm, lifts him up and plants him with a Rolling Fireman's Carry Slam! He then went to the corner and after knocking Oga out with a Haymaker, Jotaro knocks Masaru down with the Rolling Elbow before going for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2..." Seiji stops the count!
Seiji then went towards the ropes and goes for a Slingshot Plancha onto Domon. Domon however manages to catch Seiji before throwing him with a Fallaway Slam onto the guardrail! Back in the ring, Jotaro turns around and saw Simon, on the top turnbuckle, nailing a Diving Headbutt onto Masaru! He then turns Masaru around and puts him on the Giga Drill Breaker (Crippler Crossface)!
"Giga Drill Breaker locked in! Nowhere to go! Masaru may tap out in this very building!" Hayato reacted.
While Simon tries to force Masaru into tapping out, Yusuke whacks Jotaro's leg with a Baseball Bat before he pulled Jotaro out of the ring and throws him onto the barricade! He then turns around and eats a running Lariat by Domon before Domon lifts him up and sets for the Sekiha Tenkyoken (F-5). Oga however manages to stomp him by knocking Domon down with a Spear!
"Oga using his last energy to save Yusuke! Now that's pure dedication to the Chimeras!" Klein praised.
"Wait a minute guys! Onizuka has been laid out backstage!" Taisuke interupted as the camera shows Onizuka being beaten up as the medics checked on him.
"No nurses?" Onizuka muttered.
"How did Onizuka get on backstage anyway? Last time we checked he was sent into the crowd!" Hayato questioned.
"Someone may had brawled with Onizuka all the way to backstage... oh no, don't tell me..." Wataru gasped before...
... Kazuma Kuwabara appeared from the crowd!
"Of course! We forgot about Kuwabara! The 5th Man of the Chimeras!" Taisuke reacted while Kuwabara enters the ring and whacks Simon's head with a chair shot!
"Chair shot to the head! I think we all know Simon's history with those things!" Klein reacted.
"You're not kidding! Simon has suffered concussions as of late thanks to the many blows onto his head like that!" Taisuke explained.
"And now, Kuwabara's going to kill Simon's brain cells with another chair shot!" Klein pointed as Kuwabara waits for Simon to get up on the corner. Once he does, Kuwabara goes for chair shot...
... only to have Simon moving out of the way...
... before Yusuke knocks him with the Power of the Punch while his head were on the ropes!
"Power of the Punch! Good night Simon the Digger!" Klein reacted before Masaru drags Simon away from the ropes and puts him into the STF! While the Chimeras are blocking every paths to avoid Simon's partners from saving him, Masaru continues to apply pressure on Simon... until Simon passes out!
"The Chimeras reigns supreme over the teachers of JAW!" Taisuke cheered.
"Here are your winners, the Chimeras!" Yui announced as the crowd boos.
"The Chimeras has scored a huge win tonight, as they had defeated a Super Rookie, a former World Champion, and two of the toughest wrestling trainers you'll ever find on this planet! And the best part? Masaru knocked out Simon via bubmission! Now that's a huge victory folks!" Klein cheered while the Chimeras had a group hug to celebrate their huge victory.
"Yeah... after Kuwabara bailed them out from defeat! Without him, Masaru would have passed out at the hands of Simon instead!" Wataru protested while the Chimeras leaves the ring while bragging about their victory.
"Now that Jotaro's group has fallen, the Chimeras can now calm themselves as they can now move on to something else. As for Jotaro's group, they better take Simon to the hospital pronto." Taisuke said while Domon and Jotaro pulled Simon out of the ring before carrying him to backstage for medical attention.
"Both teams put on a great fight against each other. But in the end, Kuwabara's presence and Simon's history with concussions would lead the Chimeras into a decisive victory. As much as I hate to say it, congratulations to the Chimeras for that." Hayato recapped.
After the faces are gone from the ring, the arena went silent once more...
(The Underboss by Yonosuke Kitamura Plays)
No special entrance for Haruyuki, but he seems to have a new Titantron which starts with a picture of his 'Silver Crow' persona with his real name next to it before the Titantron shows highlights of his in ring actions.
"This match is set for one fall! Introducing first, representing Team Accel Online, Arita Haruyuki!" Yui announced.
"It all begins ever since Anime Rumble where Team Accel Online not only eliminated Alucard from the Rumble Match, but also screwing Negi out from winning the chance to headline Anime Mania." Hayato recapped.
"Both Negi and Alucard want their hands on Team Accel Online ever since then. Or more precisely, they want their hands on Kirito and his title." Wataru continued.
(Vs The World by Under The Influence Plays)
The camera turns to the left side of the arena in which someone was spotlighted in the crowd... before revealing said person to be Negi Springfield. After looking around, Negi heads to the ring while at the same time high fiving his students who are also in the crowd.
"And his opponent, from the United Kingdom, Negi Springfield!" Yui announced.
"In order to face Kirito, both Negi and Alucard competed in a No 1 Contenders Match which ended with Team Accel Online giving Negi the DQ win, thus screwing Alucard in the process." Hayato explained.
"Negi however refuses to accept a tainted victory, thus leading to him giving the No 1 Contendership to Alucard instead. As a result, Kirito faces Alucard later while Negi faces Kirito's sidekick right now." Wataru continued.
(Bell Rings)
Negi and Haruyuki stares at each other in the middle of the ring while the crowd are chanting for Negi until Haru shoves Negi away and taunts him by offering him a free shot to the face. Negi then responded by knocking Haru away with an European Uppercut before he bounces off the ropes and knocks him with a Flying Forearm to the face! He then bounces off the ropes and goes for another Flying Forearm only to eat a Lou Thesz Press by Haru instead. Haru then bounces off he ropes and goes for a Running Splash, but manages to avoid doing so as Negi rolls himself out of the ring.
"Negi better come up with a better strategy when facing a guy like Haru." Taisuke advised.
"As if any strategy would help Negi out to face Haru." Klein replied.
As Haru dares him to enter the ring, Negi slides into the ring and tries to push him onto the ropes. Haru however didn't budge and after pushing Negi away, Haru goes for a Clothesline only to have Negi dodging it and after bouncing off the ropes, Negi goes for a Flying Forearm only to have his throat grabbed instead. Haru then goes for a Chokeslam, but Negi manages to break free by kicking his gut several times, wrenches his arm and slams it onto his shoulder for an Armbreaker! With Haru on the corner, Negi stomps on his gut several times before climbing to the top turnbuckle and drills him with several punches to the face with the crowd counting along until Haru pushes him away.
Negi then goes after Haru only to get kicked away to the face before he grabs Negi from behind and pulls him crashing onto the corner! He then stomps on the cornered Negi several times before picking him up and throws him crashing onto the corner once again. He then blasts Negi with an Open Hand Chop to the chest before Irish Whipping him crashing onto the other corner and with Negi sitting on the corner, Haru proceeded to squash him with a Cannonball before picking him up and plants him with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex followed by a pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Negi kicks out.
With Negi lying in the middle of the ring, Haru bounces off the ropes and goes for a Running Senton only to have Negi rolling out of the ring, sending Haru back first onto the mat instead! Once the two gets themselves up with Negi using the ropes to do so, Haru from behind grabs him and goes for a Belly-to-Back Suplex. Negi however manages to land his feet on the mat and once Haru turns himself around, he knocks him away with a Knife Edge Chop and with Haru on the ropes, Negi blasts him with several more Knife Edge Chops to the chest before going for an Irish Whip. Haru however manages to reverse it and once Negi bounces off the ropes, Haru goes for a Running Crossbody only to have Negi avoiding it by sliding through him instead! Once the two gets up, Negi catches Haru and manages to plant him down with a Spinebuster!
"Spinebuster on Haru! Negi's using his gained momentum to good use!" Hayato reacted while Negi goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Haru kicks out.
"Might take more than a Spinebuster to knock someone like Haru out of the picture!" Taisuke reminded before Negi quickly turns Haru around and puts him on the Fujiwara Armbar!
"Negi with a submission! If you had a hard time picking someone up, just ground him down!" Wataru pointed and after a while, Haru manages to grab the nearby ropes.
"Good luck at dragging Haru away from the ropes Negi! Oh wait, there's no way you can do that!" Klein joked.
Once Haru gets up on the corner and turns himself around, Negi drills him with a Running European Uppercut before running to the other corner and goes for another Running European Uppercut only to eat a Running Crossbody by Haru instead! Once the two gets up, Haru grabs Negi's throat and quickly plants him with a Chokeslam before bouncing off the ropes and squashes Negi with a Running Senton!
"Haru with a quick and loaded barrage! Will that be enough?" Taisuke reacted while Negi goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Negi kicks out!
"Kick out all you want Negi, because you're not going to survive this!" Klein shouted as Haru picks Negi up and sets for a Package Piledriver...
... only to have Negi avoiding it by planting him with a Back Body Drop!
"Negi with the desperation move! He managed to avoid getting Piledrived with that once!" Taisuke reacted.
After getting himself up and once Negi recovered and turned himself around, Haru goes for a Lariat...
... only to have Negi catching Haru's arm...
... and puts him on the Jim Breaks Armbar!
"Negi with a new submission locked in! Shades of fellow British wrestler Zack Sabre Jr!" Hayato reacted.
"Both arms are trapped in that hold! And considering the damage that Negi had done on those arms, Haru has to be in agonizing pain!" Wataru pointed. With no way to break free, crawl to the ropes or get himself up while his damaged arm were in further pain, Haru had no choice but to shout 'I Quit!'.
"The monster has been submitted!" Wataru cheered.
"Here's your winner, Negi Springfield!" Yui announced as the crowd cheers.
"Whoever thought that we'll see this folks? Negi manages to not only submit a fatass like Haru, but also forces him to shout 'I Quit!' due to his hands being rendered useless! Now that's a huge victory for this young teacher!" Wataru praised while Negi, after leaving the ring, celebrates with the fans before heading backstage.
"While Negi might get another shot at a title after this victory, Haru on the other hand will not be able to help Kirito thanks to what Negi did to his arms. Looks like Kirito may have to face Alucard alone later on tonight." Hayato pointed while the medics checked on Haru's arm. Haru, unimpressed, ditches the medics before heading backstage despite having his arms hurt..
"Alone or not, don't ever underestimate Kirito. Alucard may be a nightmare, but here in Japan, Kirito can survive anything." Klein reminded.
Silence looms once more once both Negi and Haru are backstage...

(A/N: ... I have no special entrance for him. Carry on. :p)
"This match is set for one fall! Introducing first, from Shibuya, Japan, Junpei Shibayama!" Yui announced.
"From one big hoss to another, this is our 4th match folks. And unlike Haru, Junpei right here is more willing to kill anyone in sight." Taisuke said.
"Junpei has been on a roll after beating Ash, Takeru and Daisuke 3 months ago, and after failing to get his revenge on Alucard, Junpei moved on to Eren, the guy who won the Chamber Match spot instead of him." Klein pointed.
(Promo)
We can see civilians running for their lives as a Titan chases them on the streets, before cutting to the roof where Eren is watching the scenes.
"Kill..."
"I will kill..."
"... every single last of them!"
Eren then jumps off the roofs before using his 3D Maneuver Gear to fly towards the Titan...
... and slashes it's head off before the promo ends.
(Ring)
The stage turns red before blood began to shoot off the stage.
(Guren no Yumiya by Linked Horizon Plays)
The stage then turns bright, revealing Eren on the stage. After staring at his giant sized opponent, Eren heads to the ring.
"And his opponent, from the Shagishima District, Eren Jeager!" Yui announced.
"One of the Super Rookies of AWF alongside Jotaro, Eren is set for action against Junpei after what he did last month." Hayato pointed.
"Eren defeated Junpei to qualify into the Chamber, and a few weeks later, Junpei stole his spot before Eren screwed Junpei out. Now both men will be fighting each other with no one else on their minds." Wataru recapped.
"Considering that Junpei and Eren are more hard hitting than Haru and Negi, expect this match to be a slobber knocker compared to their match earlier." Taisuke assured.
(Bell Rings)
Eren and Junpei confronted each other in the middle of the ring until the two began to drill each others' faces with multiple forearms before the two bounces off the ropes and shoulder tackled onto each other! The two then bounces off the ropes and shoulder tackled onto each other for the second time and as the two bounces off the ropes for the third time, Eren proceeded to stun Junpei with a flying forearm to the face!
After several punches which sent Junpei towards the ropes, Eren goes for an Irish Whip only to have Junpei reversing it instead and once Eren bounces off the ropes, Junpei sets for a Back Body Drop only to get kicked away to the face instead! Eren then bounces off the ropes and goes for a Lariat, but Junpei dodges it before he grabs Eren from behind and plants him down with a German Suplex! After Eren rolls to the ring apron, Junpei picks him up only to get knocked away by a Jawbreaker onto the ropes instead!
Eren then enters the ring and goes for a Lariat, but Junpei manages to catch him and plants him down with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex! He then grabs Eren from behind and goes for a Belly-to-Back Suplex, but Eren manages to hold on the ropes, forcing the referee to pull Junpei away. Junpei goes after Eren only to get kicked away to the face instead before Eren grabs Junpei from behind and tries to go for a Deadlift German Suplex. Junpei however manages to elbow tackle Eren away to the face several times before he grabs Eren from behind and plants him down with a Belly-to-Back Suplex followed by a pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Eren kicks out.
"Both men are showing a lot of fight in them, but right now it's Junpei who has the advantage." Taisuke observed.
Junpei picks Eren up only to get several punches to the gut instead before he knocks him with an European Uppercut! After pushing Junpei onto the ropes, Eren blasts him with several Knife Edge Chops to the chest until Junpei grabs Eren's throat, throws him onto the ropes and blasts him with an Open Hand Chop to the chest! He then pulls Eren towards him, catches him and plants him down with a Belly-to-Belly Suplex before going for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Eren kicks out.
After drilling Eren with several forearms to the face, Junpei bounces off the ropes and goes for a Running Splash, but Eren manages to roll himself away, sending Junpei crash and burn onto the mat instead! Once the two gets themselves up, Eren from the ropes knocks Junpei away with a flying forearm to the face and once Junpei bounces off the ropes, he goes for a Lariat only to have Eren avoiding it before planting him down with a Swinging Neckbreaker!
"Eren has finally knocked Junpei down! Will that be enough?" Hayato reacted while Eren goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Junpei kicks out.
"As if Eren can slay Junpei with a simple Neckbreaker." Taisuke joked.
Eren picks Junpei up only to get several punches to the gut instead before Junpei knocks Eren away with a Headbutt to the face! Eren responded by knocking Junpei away with an Uppercut and after avoiding a strike by Junpei, Eren manages to lift him up and sets for a Rolling Fireman's Carry Slam. Junpei's weight however ended up crushing Eren instead.
"Nice try Eren, but there's no way you'll be able to lift Junpei in your current condition." Klein said while Junpei goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Eren kicks out!
"Despite is current condition, Eren's not going to let himself lose yet!" Wataru pointed.
Junpei picks Eren up and sets for a Powerbomb, but Eren manages to punch Junpei's ribs several times before planting him down with a Back Body Drop instead! After recovering himself and once Junpei gets himself up, Eren knocks him with a Lariat before bouncing off the ropes, dodges a Clothesline by Junpei, bounced off the other ropes and manages to knock Junpei down with a Flying Clothesline! He then catches Junpei and plants him down onto the ropes with a STO before picking him up from behind and plants him down with a Deadlift German Suplex!
He got it! Eren has managed to lift Junpei up and plants him with that Suplex!" Hayato reacted while Eren goes for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,..." Junpei kicks out!
"It'll take more than a feat of strength to beat a guy like Junpei!" Klein reminded.
"And the worst part? I don't think Eren had anything left on his tank after that one." Taisuke pointed as Eren seems to be exhausted.
Eren, looking to finish off this match, picks Junpei up and sets for the Attack on Titan (Jackhammer) only to have trouble at getting Junpei up...
... which would lead to Junpei lifting Eren up instead and after several seconds, Junpei drops Eren head first onto the mat with a Brainbuster!
"Junpei took advantage of Eren's exhaustion and stupidity before proceeding to kill his brain cells!" Taisuke reacted.
"With Eren getting knocked out, Junpei is now more than allowed to finish him off!" Klein pointed as Junpei lifts Eren up...
... and plants him with a Running Powerbomb onto the corner before he runs to the corner and squashes Eren with a Running Splash!
"Feel that Eren? That's for picking up a fight with me!" Junpei shouted before he picks Eren up and nails him with the Bettle Slam (World's Strongest Slam) followed by a Running Splash for the pin.
The referee counts, "1,2,3!"
"Mercifully, it's over." Taisuke muttered.
"Here's your winner, Junpei Shibayama!" Yui announced as the crowd boos.
"This match has showed the differences between a Rookie like Eren and a Veteran Slayer like Junpei. Despite several comebacks and times of being equal, it was Junpei who end up being the dominant force that shallows every single attacks on Eren's arsenal." Taisuke observed while Junpei, satisfied after destroying Eren, heads backstage.
"On this day, Eren Jeager has received a grim reminder. He lives in fear of Junpei Shibayama and were disgraced to lose to him inside this ring. While Eren will be embarassed for this rest of his live after this easy defeat, Junpei can now move on to something else, likely the World Championship." Klein stated while Eren, devastated by his defeat, slowly heads backstage while having no mood to clap hands with the crowd.
"If Junpei decided to go after the World Championship, then God please help either Tsuna or Taiki, because if Junpei can slay Ash, Takeru and Daisuke in 3 weeks in a row, slaying Tsuna or Taiki would be nothing more than a piece of cake for him." Taisuke said.
The 4th match ends with the arena being silent one more...

The stage then shines bright in yellow as Takeru Takaishi appeared on the stage, complete with a Jeff Hardy-like facepaint while his Titantron had his Crest of Hope logo on it before it began to show all of his highlight reels in AWF. After looking around the Seibu Dome, Takeru walks to the ring while high fiving with the crowd.
"There he is folks, one of the first wrestlers of AWF, and also a Veteran in the Fiction Wrestling Industry." Hayato pointed while Takeru, instead of entering the ring, looks at the title hanging above the ring before deciding to circle around the ring while high fiving with the crowd.
"This is Takeru's 3rd Anime Mania in a row. 2 years ago he won the World Title by defeating Ash Ketchum, and last year his luck were a bit rotten due to losing to none other than Ash himself in a match which puts an end to the Digi-Poke Wars with Pokemon standing tall in the end." Wataru reminded.
"This year his challenge is a bit different, as he will take on another Veteran of this industry. A Veteran who's in the middle of his career revival after no longer being in a company known as WWT." Taisuke said.

"You're Better Swim" by Motorhead Plays as the stage turned dark blue before smoke began to cover the entire stage. Once the smoke are gone, Spongebob can now been seen on the stage, holding a bunch of severed clams before he threw them onto the pyrotechnics which leads to the pyros turning the clams into dusts.
(A/N: I know. Bad attempt at copying HHH's Terminator entrance at WM 31, please sue me. :p)
"At first I thought that Spongebob only kills clams due to him protecting his lover. But after what he just did to those dead clams, I stand corrected: Spongebob is as heartless as you could get ever since his turn to the dark side in WWT." Wataru said.
"From CWF to WWT to XCW, Spongebob is now in AWF, ready to show the world that he's not an afterthought overshadowed by the others on these days. Maybe he didn't win the World Title, but at least he sparked interest in his run with this company by picking a fight with Takeru out of all people." Taisuke pointed.
"Spongebob won the title after assaulting Takeru backstage, thus earning him a spot at tonight's show. And now, Spongebob may end up getting pushed back into being an afterthought because there's no way he'll be able to win in a match that Takeru specializes on." Wataru reminded.
"Takeru may be an expert on TLC Matches, but this is Spongebob we're talking about. With him being hot thanks to his 'Sponge out of Water' movie, beating Takeru on the Grand Dojo of Animes would make him a hotter commodity. Pretty sure he would love to inflict pain of Takeru just like how much he loves to inflict pain on the folks in XCW." Klein replied.
"The following contest is a TLC Match for the AWF Extreme Championship!" Yui announced. "Introducing the challenger, from Odaiba, Japan, Takeru Takaishi! (Crowd Cheers) And his opponent, from Bikini Bottom, USA, he is the reigning and defending AWF Extreme Champion, Spongebob Squarepants!" (Crowd Boos)
(Bell Rings)
As the crowd are rooting for Takeru, the two looked at the belt hanging above the ring before starting to circle around the ring until they locked each other on a Collar and Elbow Tie Up. After managing to push Takeru onto the corner, Spongebob proceeded to drill him with several Battering Rams to the gut before blasting him with an Uppercut! He then Irish Whips Takeru onto the other corner and goes after him only to get kicked away to the face instead. Takeru then climbs to the top turnbuckle and sets for the Whisper of the Wind, but Spongebob manages to push him off instead, sending him crash and burn onto the mat!
"The match is still early and Takeru just killed himself already! For a veteran, that's pretty stupid." Klein pointed.
Spongebob leaves the ring and took out a steel chair from under the ring before waiting for Takeru to get up using the guardrail. Once he does, Spongebob goes for a Chair Shot to the head only to have Takeru moving out of the way instead. He then turns around and goes to whack Takeru with a chair shot only to get stunned by several punches to the gut instead before Takeru knocks him away with a Jawbreaker. After knocking Spongebob head first onto the guardrail with a Drop Toe Hold, Takeru picks up the chair and whacks him with a Chair Shot to the back before opening it nearby Spongebob. Once Spongebob turns himself around, Takeru uses the chair and nails Spongebob with the Poetry in Motion! He then picks Spongebob up and Suplexes him onto the chair!
"Takeru's fighting back with one quick attacks after another, not giving Spongebob anytime to take a breath." Hayato pointed.
Takeru then pulls out a table from under the ring.
"And now, it's time for Takeru to put a quick end to Spongebob's fight!" Wataru reacted.
After opening the table, Takeru goes to pick Spongebob up only to get his eyes raked instead before he grabs Takeru and throws him onto the guardrail! He then picks up the chair and proceeded to whack him with several Chair Shots to the back before picking him up and throws him onto the ring post! He then lifts Takeru up and sets for the Spongy Edge (Razor's Edge) through the table, but Takeru manages to slip away before retreating to the guardrail instead. Spongebob goes after him only to get kicked to the gut instead before Takeru slams him face first onto the guardrail! Takeru then proceeded to Clothesline Spongebob into the crowd before picking up the Steel Chair and once Spongebob gets himself up, Takeru knocks him back down by throwing the chair straight onto his face!
"Sponge meets steel! No need to explain what happens next." Wataru reacted.
Takeru pulls out 2 ladders from under the ring and after pushing them into the ring, he enters the ring as well. After wedging one of the ladder on the corner, Takeru picks up the other ladder and opens it at the middle of the ring before starting to climb it. After reaching to the top of the ladder, Takeru tries to reach the belt only to have Spongebob entering the ring and knocks the ladder down, sending Takeru to crash and burn onto the top rope!
Spongebob then picks up the ladder and waits for Takeru to get himself up on the corner and once he does, Spongebob squashes him using the ladder before throwing it away, places him on the top turnbuckle, climbs to the top turnbuckle as well, and sets for a Super-Plex onto the ladder. Takeru however manages to stun Spongebob with several punches to the ribs followed by several Headbutts to the face before standing on the top turnbuckle and plants him with a Sunset Flip Powerbomb!
"Powerbomb off the turnbuckle! Takeru has knocked Spongebob senseless with that one!" Wataru reacted.
"He's not done yet! Takeru wants to inflict more damage on Spongebob!" Hayato pointed as Takeru, after getting himself up, places Spongebob on the ladder before climbing to the top turnbuckle and goes for the Diving Hope (Swanton Bomb)...
... only to have Spongebob rolling out of the way instead, sending Takeru crash and burn onto the ladder!
"So close! Spongebob were able to avoid himself from getting squashed by Takeru!" Klein reacted.
"Takeru thought that he could finish Spongebob off right there, but Spongebob manages to escape from his demise by rolling out of harms way!" Taisuke observed.
The two slowly crawled towards the ropes before slowly getting themselves up using it. After managing to get himself up first, Spongebob proceeded to Clothesline Takeru out of the ring before he picks up the ladder, opens it at the middle of the ring and began to slowly climb to the top of it. Once he reached the top of the ladder, Spongebob grabs the belt and tries to unhook it...
... only to have Takeru knocking the ladder down, causing Spongebob to end up hanging above the ring!
"A Sponge is hanging above the ring. Either he falls or he'll manage to unhook the belt!" Taisuke pointed. While Spongebob's holding on, Takeru places the ladder below him...
... and pulls him down crashing onto the ladder!
"Falling Sponge from the Sky, crashing onto the cold hard steel!" Wataru reacted.
"It's not over yet! Takeru's going for another way to kill Spongebob!" Hayato pointed as Takeru climbs to the top turnbuckle and with Spongebob lying on the ladder...
... he nails him with the Diving Hope!
"Diving Hope connected! Spongebob has been crushed by that and steel at the same time!" Wataru reacted.
"Now that Spongebob's finished, Takeru now has nothing to stop him from winning the title!" Hayato reminded.
While Spongebob's recovering himself on the ring apron, Takeru, after recovering himself, opens the ladder in the middle of the ring before starting to slowly climb to the top. Spongebob rolls himself towards the ladder and slowly climbs the ladder as well while Takeru, after a while, manages to reach the top and tries to unhook the belt. Spongebob, after getting himself up, knocks the ladder down, sending Takeru crashing onto the top rope instead! He then kicks Takeru to the gut, lifts him up and nails him with the Spongy Edge onto the wedged ladder!
"Spongebob just threw Takeru's flesh onto steel! No need to ask what happens next!" Klein reacted.
"Wait a minute guys! Spongebob's not finished yet!" Taisuke pointed as Spongebob, after lifting Takeru up for another Spongy Edge, goes to the other side of the ring before running towards the ropes...
... and threw him out of the ring and through the table with another Spongy Edge!
"First steel and now wood! Spongebob has nailed a nasty one-two combo in order to take Takeru out of the picture!" Klein exclaimed.
"Now Spongebob has nothing stopping him from getting the belt!" Taisuke pointed as Spongebob opens the ladder and starts to climb it.
"If Spongebob manages to unhook the belt, he'll be the first non-anime character to win at Anime Mania... (remembers Kuzco and Kronk winning in the pre-show) main show that is!" Klein pointed.
After a while, Spongebob manages to reach to the top ...
... while Takeru slides into the ring and began to climb the ladder as well!
"How the hell can Takeru enter the ring and starts climbing the ladder despite all the punishment he took? He should have been wrecked by now!" Klein questioned.
"This is Takeru we are talking about! He has taken things worse than this throughout his entire career!" Wataru reminded.
Spongebob tries to unhook the belt before Takeru could reach to the top only to end up failing instead. With the two on top of the ladder, they traded blows onto each other's faces until Spongebob blinds him with a Thumb to the Eye! Takeru then blinds Spongebob with a Headbutt to the face before slamming him face first onto the ladder! Instead of trying to reach for the belt, Takeru grabs Spongebob...
... and PLANTS HIM WITH THE TWISTED HOPE FROM THE TOP OF THE LADDER!
"Twisted Hope off the ladder! Takeru just gave Spongebob a wicked way to fall onto the mat!" Hayato exclaimed while the foreign part of the crowd chanted 'Holy Shit!'.
"If that doesn't knock Spongebob out, I don't know what else will!" Wataru said while the foreign part of the crowd chanted 'This Is Awesome!'.
"When you have two guys killing each other for a title belt, of course it's awesome!" Klein responded.
After slowly getting himself up using the ropes, Takeru, with Spongebob already rolling out of the ring, began to slowly climb the ladder while being in pain.
"Now that Spongebob's gone, Takeru's chances of winning the title is wide open! All he needs to do now is to climb the ladder and redeem himself after last year's defeat!" Wataru pointed.
"Takeru might want to grab the belt as quick as possible, because knowing Spongebob, he might have another trick on his sleeves!" Hayato reminded.
After a while, Takeru manages to reach the top of the ladder and, with nothing to stop him in sight, reaches the belt and unhooks it!
"Takeru has finally redeemed himself after last year's defeat!" Wataru cheered.
"Here's your winner and NEW AWF Extreme Champion, Takeru Takaishi!" Yui announced as the crowd cheers.
"Last year he suffered a huge defeated against Ash Ketchum in the finale of the Digimon vs Pokemon saga, but this year, Takeru has defeated a WWT and CWF Legend in the form of Spongebob Squarepants, showing the world why he's one of the Legends in Fiction Wrestling!" Wataru cheered as Takeru raises the belt to the air while medics can be seen checking on Spongebob.
"And with that, Takeru is now 2-1 at Anime Mania. He may not be undefeated, but at least he delivers a hell of a fight in order to pick up a victory. Congratulations Takeru, you deserved that victory!" Hayato praised.
"As if winning the Extreme Title were as meaningful as winning the World Title two years ago... no offense, but I not cheering for him." Klein said.
"You and your opinions..." Wataru replied. "Alright folks we have reached the end of the first half of this PPV. We'll be back in a few minutes for the second half of this show. Stay tuned!" he announced as the show goes into an Intermission.
A/N: There you go guys, first half of Anime Mania has been finished! I can't believe that it took me nearly a month to finish this and yet this chapter looks like it was written as rushed as possible in days... I have really lost my touch when it comes to writing... DX
Regarding the match lengths, this is the longest I do write for this show. Bla bla bla 'Anime Mania is your biggest PPV!' responses, but unfortunately this is all I got for this PPV. The TLC Match could have been longer, but I don't think that I could pad out the length of the match even further. :p
As a side note, I'm challenging you guys to write a special entrance for any participants for Anime Mania. If you could write a better entrance for, I don't know, Spongebob, than I could, then congrats, you are the best entrance maker ever!
First half is done, and now let's move on to the second half. 3 female matches plus 2 male matches, and 2 out of 5 matches featured Sword Art Online. Until then, please review!
PS: RIP to the American Dream Dusty Rhodes. I know I'm a week late, but hey, at least it's better than nothing.
