GONG!
A gong rings out as the camera cuts backstage to reveal Sensei Abe Lincoln standing in a corridor with Classic Wrestling correspondent Billy Fields in front of what appears to be a janitor’s closet.
Billy Fields: What a show we have had so far, and I promise, ladies and gentlemen, it is only going to get better! I’m here joined by the official representative of Classic Wrestling’s own, Shujin Yama, none other than Sensei Abe Lincoln. Sensei, is your client prepared for his tag team match tonight?
Sensei Abe Lincoln: Prepared? Mmhmm… Shujin Yama always prepared. But Vito-San… is he prepared for Shujin Yama? Carlos-San… is he prepared for Shujin Yama? Randall-San… is he prepared for Shujin Yama?
Fields: Well since you bring Randall Schwartz up, have you and Mr. Yama been able to-
Sensei Lincoln: SHUJIN Yama. Shujin means Master. This… this disrespectful. Classic Wrestling… mmhmm… full of disrespect so far. JAYYY ESSSSSSSSSSSS EN… disrespectful! Richard-San… disrespectful! Last time we talk to you, Shujin Yama attacked. Disrespectful! This tag team match… disrespectful again. Shujin Yama… eternal. Shujin Yama… needs no partner.
Fields: Well I’m sure the fans of Classic Wrestling would love to hear from him. Where is he?
BANG!
Almost conveniently on cue, the door to the janitor’s closet bursts open. Fields jumps in fright, as the mammothly-wide frame of Shujin Yama squeezes through the opening, clad in the ceremonial robe he wears to the ring. After he moves to the side of the shot (very far to the side), and takes his places next to Sensei Lincoln, the camera finally picks up a small shinto shrine and a straw mat set up in the closet amongst the mops, brooms, and shelves of cleaning supplies.
Shujin Yama: That was humiliating! I’m tired of the disrespect in this place! I swear, if one more thing happens, I’ll… I’ll…
Yama notices Sensei Lincoln and Fields, and snorts.
Yama: Time to go.
He walks off screen, and with a sneer towards Fields, Sensei Lincoln follows. Befuddled, Fields turns back to the camera.
Fields: It looks like Shujin Yama is on his way to the ring now! Over to you Thunderbird and Moss!
