Welcome to Gaia! ::

The second night of EEW's Legendary 'The FINAL Stand' show was getting underway in a hurry, as following the introduction to the show, the Offspring's "You're Gonna Go Far, Kid" took over the airwaves in the arena, a surprise or many of the EEW faithful, but not for those that followed other bits of wrestling out there. The stage was the place to be as Hiro Shin-Mozas stepped out, wearing a douchey pair of sunglasses -- and a revamped designed of his vintage Orange-and-Black trunks from 2014. The Ethnic Enigma was here in EEW tonight for the first time ever, being asked to take part in this celebration of the greatest company he never competed for. There were some fans who stuck out their hands to high five Hiro, but they were oddly ignored, instead the usually friendly man choosing to ditch the pomp and circumstance as he walked around the ring and grabbed hold of a microphone from a stagehand, hopping up on to the apron and stepping into the ring.


Hiro would interrupt the ring announcer from making their formal declaration of a match happening. He would take their spot in center ring, shooing them to the corner as he pulled off his sun glasses and handed them to a ref. His scarred face and upper body glistened in the lights, fooling anyone into believing he may have been a mainstay in EEW due to the extreme nature of the promotion...but, as everyone who paid even an iota of attention knew, that simply wasn't the case. The fans held back on their booing, as many felt inclined to do, because perhaps Hiro was actually going to have something impactful to say and that's why he was delaying any potential action from getting underway.


This shouldn't have been too surprising to fans -- Hiro had a history of being a rather hateful man, and it seemed like his hate tonight was directed at the very company everyone had gathered to support and celebrate. The fans in the arena began to boo with vigor, holding back prior proving to be the mentos poured into the coke bottle that was their angst and trepidation towards seeing someone so irrelevant to the weekend's main focus. Hiro laughed and scratched his buzzcut-head, who ever thought it would end up like this, he said to himself silently.


What the hell was that pot shot at trivia nights hosted by bars? The name TOXIC was rooted deep in the psyche of any true EEW fan, a Speed favorite and one of the greatest cruiserweights in it's expansive history. Hiro assumed that anyway, as was just gone over he had no experience in EEW and never even met TOXIC, so he had to make some leaps in logic. The fans sure responded as if they were the biggest TOXIC marks on the planet though, booing Hiro profusely and starting a vigorous "SHUT THE ******** UP" chant that would put most regular crowds to shame. It was certainly becoming a hostile environment quickly for Hiro, but that never deterred him from speaking his truths before.


Hiro popped himself HARD with an absolutely awful joke, mocking the names of the three shows EEW offered during it's lifespan. The Ethnic Enigma actually had been assigned to Speed when he first signed his ill fated contracted. There was speculation among some, knowing that Hiro never did work any shows, that he was so insulted by the idea of needing to be on a developmental program that he just left the money on the table and pursued greatness elsewhere -- succeeding ten fold.


A cup of alcohol comes flying past Hiro's head, followed by a few hot dogs, and even a couple of batteries. The Ethnic Enigma avoided being hit directly by all of them, causing him to get angrier -- he couldn't believe that the fans of this absolute clown-show, mudhole company would act like this when being delivered straight up facts and the reality of what life truly was.


Hiro tossed the microphone away as the fans booed his disrespect of the dearly departed, an absolute legend in EEW's pantheon of greats. It was NOT the first time Hiro made light of Joey's death, and he definitely had a greater connection to him than he had any idea of -- that's for sure. The garbage continued to rain down on the Ethnic Enigma as he was plunked in the head with a full beer in a plastic cup.


Hiro immediately began to mock the fans in the front row, daring them to hop the barricade and a mouth full of FIST. It looked like Hiro really did still have a lot of hate still oozing from his heart, and the dam was showing cracks and had to be elevated tonight at EEW The Final Stand. The question now...who was he booked to go up against tonight? He certainly didn't know, but he couldn't help but wonder to himself...were the words he spoke going to serve as motivation for himself, or for his opponent?

Hiro shouted at the ref as Glacier and Lauri Henry made their way out onto the stage to raucous applause, being two of the biggest names in EEW -- the former it's owner! The ref quickly explained that to him, Hiro really had no damn idea who the smaller man in this equation was. It was then that Lauri began to make his way down the ramp, but was instantly stopped in favor of Glacier deciding he would get in the ring with Hiro. Then he heard the guy was from Japan as well, so it would be a battle between countrymen here -- even if Hiro was fighting out of Cuba tonight. Glacier would join the Ethnic Enigma in his ring and rather quickly the ref would call for the bell. Hiro was in no mood to give the fans what they wanted and charged at Glacier, looking to hit him with a running SUPERKICK! If there would be any way to hurt the momentum of this celebration, it would be to easily dispatch of the man who put it together!

Hiro's superkick attempt was fool hardy to begin with, but it also served as a quick lesson in history as EEW's owner managed to sidestep the attack attempt and make Hiro look super silly. He then swept his legs out from under him, causing the Ethnic Enigma to flat-back unexpectedly on the apron! Hiro grabbed the back of his neck and used his legs and free elbow to try and drag himself away quickly from Glacier, glaring at the ref as he did so. "How could you let him do that?!" Hiro would ask, angry that Glacier actually knew what the hell he was doing despite being the smaller man and, as far as Hiro could tell, was nothing more than a front office geek.

Hiro angrily staggered up to his feet and tried to keep his balance, being driven by a high level of embarrassment. He stumbled to the ropes and stared a confused hole at Glacier, trying to figure out how this guy was so nimble. "Alright, tough guy, fine...let's go!" Hiro would say as he threw up his arms and began to enter Glacier's personal space, trying to force a collar and elbow in an attempt to start overpowering the smaller man!

Hiro's impatience shot up to an almost unbelievable level as Glacier had the NERVE to imply that Hiro was here to meet his standards. As the two locked up, the Ethnic Enigma tried to yank back on Glacier's body and force him forward, wanting to use that momentum to toss him out of the tie-up and off to the side. The display of strength, if successful, would be followed up with Hiro flexing his muscles for a booing crowd.

Hiro shouted back at Lauri who was trying to steal his flexing THUNDER. The Lone Wolf was a bigger man, and thus had a more impressive physique -- but Hiro wouldn't back down as he flexed harder, now pointed more so towards the former two-time Lethal Wrestling League World Champion. This whole segment was bizarre to begin with -- Hiro made his way to the ring and cut a rather scathing promo towards this weekend's proceedings, and then was met with the great Glacier Kadamas interrupting him. Now it was a flex-off at the start of the match? This was serving as entertainment for fans of Lauri Henry, but that's it -- people were begging for Glacier to do something, to just CRUSH the Ethnic Engima.

Glacier's little collusion with Lauri Henry was incredibly successful, as Hiro paid no mind to the charging behind him as he continued to flex every last muscle in his upper body. His back however was quickly kicked rather superly, sending him flopping forward and into the middle rope! He laid there on it arching his back as if he were humping the mat, in a good amount of pain as Glacier really got him in his sweet spot. Hiro was going to need a second, it's a good thing he was in the ropes, Glaicer couldn't do anything!

Keep in mind of course, Hiro was no idea about Extreme Entertainment Wrestling and it's rules, the fact that there aren't any DQ's in this match is a thought lost on him. The only thing going through his head was a hope that Glacier didn't have the 619 in his arsenal, not that the ropes would actually do nothing to protect him.
