Via @yourcommand on chirpy "I've stayed away from social media for the past week under the advice that if you don't have anything positive to say, don't say anything at all. But I will say this before tonight. Tommy, I hold you in high regard, so I'd like to pre-emptively apologize and for venting my frustrations about a very bad week on you tonight." Reply to @yourcommand from @dutchdestroyer “Vent your frustrations? Red, you aren’t sitting second from bottom in the group on one point, and you haven’t been eliminated yet. Don’t even talk to me about venting frustrations, because if I decide to let loose with some of mine I might just end your career.

“Welp, I’m never doing that again.” Veronica Chance was holding an ice pack on her shoulder while getting a rundown from the JWA trainers on her back after the match.
“Why not? You were great out there. You leveled the playing field and didn’t let Jessie cheat me out of a win, which is exactly what you said you wanted to do.” Arizona stared lovingly at his wife as he received treatment on his lower back after landing square on his backside from ten feet up.
“Zona, I did two moves and I’m dead! This… this is too much. This was one and done.”
“But that spear sure looked good. You turned Jessie inside out. How’d that feel?”
Veronica wrinkled her face into a wry smile. “It felt great, if I’m honest. To give her a little bit of what she deserved after screwing over Red… speaking of him, he wasn’t himself tonight. OW!! Not so hard,” she scolded the trainer.
“Easy on the staff, babe. They’re used to working with guys with extremely high tolerances for pain. But you bring up a good point. I need to try to talk to Red and see how he’s doing. If you’ll excuse me, I’m going to try to find him.”
Arizona exits the training room and lets the capable staff continue to work with Veronica.

Then on the first Glory of 2023, the returning Mack Caliber will challenge Red Pirate Rogers for the JWA World Heavyweight Title!

JWA.com Exclusive
Rodd Puttergill appears in front of a large dry erase board with a marker in hand. He draws and erases maniacally as he talks.
“Rodd Puttergill here to break down the brackets heading into the final week of the J-1. Starting with Block A, with the somewhat surprising loss to Tommy End, World Champion Red Pirate Rogers has been eliminated from contention for the block championship. This leaves both Chesterton Shredsbury and Relentless Conor Caine at 3-0-1 after their victories this week. They’ve tied each other, and it’s now a two horse race. If both win, or both lose, they’ll face off in a tiebreaker match on a special episode of JWA Mania.
Block B is quite a bit more complicated. With Arizona Chance’s big win over Chief Buffalo and Pierre’s victory, we now sit at a three way tie, and winning is no guarantee of even getting into a tiebreaker match. Let me explain.
If the winners this week are Chance over Duke, Pierre over Penguino, and Chief over Bad Luck Bradley, the three winners will meet in a triple threat on Mania. If any two of those three are victorious, Pierre wins a tiebreaker over Chance, Buffalo wins over Pierre, and Chance wins over Buffalo based on their head to head wins.
The most interesting scenario is if all three men lose. Then you add Penguino to the mix, and that spells disaster for Buffalo and Pierre, as that would create a four way tie. Within those four men, Chance and Buffalo would be 2-1 against the others, and then Chance would win the head to head tiebreaker against the Chief. Although, I could also see Commissioner Whistler ruling that due to the unprecedented nature of the situation, a four way dance would take place on Mania.”
The dry erase board is an absolute mess of names, lines, and scenarios. “All that you say: it’s going to be a wild conclusion to the J-1, and we’re glad you’re along for the ride.”

BUZZ-FED.COM EXCLUSIVE THE REAL REASON CONOR CAINE LEFT JAPAN REVEALED! Conor Caine's Former Trainer Reveals Why Conor Agreed To Leave Japan After "The Tokyo Screwjob" BY SCOTT MILLAR
Legendary Big Japan superstar Hito Kizuato has been telling Wrestling Watcher Weekly's James Seltzer why his former protégé, "The Relentless" Conor Caine, agreed to leave Big Japan after his hellacious cage match with The Enigmatic Madman, Insane. In an exclusive interview from his hospital room - where he's still recovering from an injury at the hands of The Compound - Kizuato told Seltzer that, over the months that Conor Caine feuded with Insane, Hito watched his student become more and more obsessed with his nemesis. Caine, he said, changed: he became bitter and violent, and any efforts on Hito's part to reason with Conor were in vain.
It all came to a head after the Hell In A Cell match. Conor Caine and Insane were both stretchered from the ring, but when Caine woke up he instantly resumed his vendetta against Insane - obsessing over what he'd have to do next to finally end the Enigmatic Madman. Hito had had enough: "I told Conor, your quest for vengeance has consumed you completely. You are no longer the man I knew: you are a shell, filled with rage. I made him aware of how he had alienated all of his friends and peers, until it was just he and I, and I said, 'If you chose to continue this feud with Insane, then you have lost me too.'"
Kizuato said he'd leave Caine also, if he didn't give up his vendetta. He said that Caine never replied and that he wasn't sure what Conor would do next. It even came as a surprise to Hito when, on the next episode of Big Japan's weekly show, Conor agreed to leave the company without hesitation. Further, says Hito, he was saddened that Conor never even said goodbye: leaving the arena, and the country, that same night. He never saw his trainee until he showed up on JWA television back in April, and never spoke to him until after he woke up in the hospital last week.
Kizuato also told Seltzer that his recovery is going well and he hopes to be out of hospital soon. In regards to his relationship with Conor Caine, Kizuato said "things are strained, but progressing." If Kizuato will ever have the same relationship with Conor again, he says he doesn't know. For now, Conor Caine visits regularly, and he's also keeping a bedside vigil with JWA official Francis "The Effect" McCorry, who is still suffering with his injuries at the hands of the AWOL Brother Seph.
As for "The Relentless One", things remain chaotic: The Compound have vanished and been banned from the JWA by commissioner Kip Whistler, and while Conor Caine can rest easy on that front he still has the J-1 to worry about: Caine is currently tied at the top of Group A with Tag Champ Chesterton Shredsbury, but his final match of the round robin is against none other than the JWA Champion, Red Pirate Rogers! With such a huge challenge ahead, Conor Caine will be on JWA Mania this weekend to share his thoughts with the fans.

***JWA.com Exclusive***
Toni Cruise: Fans, Toni Cruise here following this week's episode of Glory as the J-1 Pinnace tournament continues, trying to get a word with some of the JWA stars involved... oh, boy, this is going to be awkward... Duke Mongoose, may I have a second of your time?
(Duke is sitting on a bench in the hallway rifling through his bag angrily)
Duke Mongoose: OH GREAT! Here comes Toni Cruise and her salt, ready to rub salt in Big Daddy Duke's fresh wounds. OLD SALTY TONI!
Toni: Nobody calls me that, do they?
Duke: Whattaya want, Toni? Can't you see I'm miserable?
Toni: Another tough loss this week. Penguino even stole your Cobra Clutch maneuver and catch phrase on his way to defeating you.
Duke: SALT. IN. WOUNDS. TONI.
Toni: I'm sorry. Even though you're eliminated from winning Block B, there's still the potential for a four way tie depending on next week's results, which you CAN play a part in. What are your thoughts?
Duke: I may not have been competing in JWA for very long, but I've been around this business a long time and I think I know Kip Whistler pretty well. I know there's one thing that Kip hates more than almost anything, and that's draws. The man hates ties, Toni, so the last thing he would want is for there to be a FOUR WAY tie at the end of next week. The only reason that's possible is because I got beat by Penguino this week, and next week I'm going to continue disrupting this tournament by beating Arizona while Bad Luck Bradley takes care of Chief Buffalo and Penguino stops that big goof Pierre!
Toni: Wait, you're trying to tell me that losing this week was part of your plan?
Duke: It wasn't Plan A, that's for sure, but it was in there! Big Daddy Duke is ten steps ahead of everyone else! I'm playing 4D chess with these clowns! So next week, listen up! If Arizona Chance thinks that the hazing he endured back in the day when he was greener than grass was bad, just wait until he's across the ring from me and I'm TRYING to hurt him! He's going to wish he'd-
Toni: Called his grandmother?
Duke: ...
Toni: I'm sorry. Go ahead.
Duke: No, it's ruined. The moment is passed.
Toni: I'm really sorry, Duke. I didn't mean to step on your catchphrase.
(Duke ignores Toni as he packs up his suitcase and leaves the shot)
Toni: Fans, stay tuned to JWA.com for more exclusives, and don't miss this week's Glory for the final round of the J-1 Pinnacle group stage!

We cut to a dark room where a man is sat
“I want to make the world a better place you see. There is a root arrogance in any wrestler; a hugely arrogant assumption that anyone is going to listen to them. But they listen to me because it’s no secret that the stars are falling from the sky and they listen to me like a fly on the wall.”
The man smirks and a devil like figure appears as the screen cuts out and text reads.
The Fly. Coming Soon.

Arizona’s Digifoto
Arizona sits in his typical location for these Digifoto posts— high backed leather chair, with an oak end table next to him. On the end table sits an antique highball glass with an amber liqueur. Behind him is his trophy wall, with plaques, titles, and one prominent empty location. In the empty slot is a placard which reads “Future Home of 2022 J-1 Championship”.
“JWA Fans— you’ve read the articles. You’ve seen the BoobTube videos. You’ve seen Rodd Puttergill at his dry erase board. You know that I can win and move on. I can win and be eliminated. I can win and be in a triple threat match.
But one thing is for certain— you can throw out all the scenarios in which I lose, because that ain’t happening. Duke Mongoose is bringing up things that happened more than two decades ago, because he’s living in the past. I’m focused on the present, and the present situation is that he is an obstacle for me to overcome on my road to cementing my legacy as the greatest to ever lace the boots, while Duke is trying to cement his legacy as a spoiler.
Spoiler is a funny word. It’s inherently negative. It’s implying that you have the power to make something rancid, putrid, and past it’s prime. Duke, the role fits you nicely, because you’re all three. Who spoiled you? Was it your grandmother that you’re always calling?
I— I am unspoilable. I am unstoppable. I am on my final approach with the landing gear down, and my path is simple. Win tomorrow. Win a tiebreaker match if I have to. And beat the Block A champion, whether that be Chesterton Shredsbury or Conor Caine. This will come down to who wants it more, and that’s me— cause nobody chases the gold like Arizona Chance.

Arizona throws the doors of Killies wide open with a. Huge smile on his face.
“Hey Jax—“
“Lemme guess, drinks are on you?” Jackson looked at Chance with a wink and a nod.
“No. Why would you assume— anyway, no. I just wanted to warn you that there’s gonna be some very disappointed people here tonight. Pierre, Conor, Penguino… all those guys had a shot to get into the finals and I’m the lucky one that managed to squeak in. But I’ll tell you what, I could kiss Penguino right on his little avian forehead for the favor he did for me tonight, and Bradley for that matter too. If he were here I’d—“
“You’d what, Amazonia?” Bad Luck Bradley appeared from behind Chance as if out of thin air. “Pucker up, buttercup.” Bradley extended his lips toward Chance in the most awkward way possible. In that moment, Chance was 70% sure that Bradley was joking, but that left 30% in doubt.
“How about a beer instead?” Arizona backed away sheepishly as Jackson tried unsuccessfully to stifle his laughter while pouring.
“In fact, let’s do this— let’s all raise our glass to Hito Kizuato, who is still recovering from his temporary paralysis. Hito and I go way back from my time in Japan— let’s all drink to his health. Salud!”

From the corner in Killies a recognisable voice booms out...
DYNO: "To Hito! And to Arizona, the man just bought us all a drink after all!"
The room cheers as Dyno gets out of his booth and heads towards the bar to approach Arizona.
"Good luck in the final pal. Don't underestimate the Welshie though, he's on fire at the minute, even if his national team aren't! Oh and remember, you may be the greatest to step in a JWA ring...but you'll never be the first!"
Arizona, Dyno, Jackson and a couple of nearby people laugh.
ARIZONA: "Ha! That's true." He turns to Jackson and announces loudly "next round is on Dyno!".
The room cheers again and Dyno looks a bit put out briefly before bursting into another fit of laughter.
DYNO: "I suppose I deserved that. Oh alright then, here you go Jackson, get 'em poured!"

Bad Luck Bradley looks at the beer in his hands. He raises it to Hito and then sets it on the bar. He takes a napkin and writes on it, folding it before handing it to Jackson.
"Give that to Amazonia," he says before leaving.

Chesterton Shredsbury walks into Killie’s wearing board shorts and an open Hawaiian floral patterned shirt. He high fives a few of the patrons and throws a few winks around at people. He makes his way to the bar where Dyno and Arizona are.
Chesterton. Any chance I can join you gents for a drink?
Arizona. Of course. Congratulations, Chesterton.
Chesterton. Likewise to you, brother. I look forward to finally having a go in the ring with a legend. And I’ve no doubt the best man will win the day.
Arizona. I’m sure I agree with you.
Chesterton. And speaking of legends I’ve never had the pleasure to wrestle. My very own hero sits here beside you. It’s a real pleasure to be in your presence, Dyno.
Dyno. Thank you. You really were on a tear in that J1. It was something to see.
Chesterton. It means a great deal to me to hear that from you, brother. I only regret that you weren’t in the tournament yourself this year as well. And speaking of disappointments, Jackson please do be sure to have an extra keg on standby. My mate Pierre is sure to have a great thirst when he arrives. I know he had hopes of a Big Waves Final to this J1. But it is indeed a night to celebrate epic battles from all the contenders.

*I lumber my way into Killies with a disappointed look on my face*
Jackson: Keg's over there big guy
Pierre: Thanks Jax *I grab the keg and chug it down letting out a thunderous belch*
Chesterton: You gonna be okay big bro?
Pierre: *I nod and give Chesterton a hang loose sign and he reciprocates it*
Chesterton: *gives me a hug*
Pierre: *I hug him back*

Conor Caine freezes for a second when he hears Chance raise a toast to Hito. He suddenly feels overexposed in this darkened corner of the bar he’d been sitting in, and then the guilt sets in. He gets Jackson’s attention.
CAINE: Jackson, gimme a bottle of Black Barrel to go.
Caine leaves a wad of cash on the bar and looks around, almost nervously, as Jackson bring over the bottle. Caine grabs it and quickly makes his way to the door. He almost bumps into Shredsbury on the way out.
CAINE: Hey man, congrats on going through to the final. Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy.
Caine looks over a Chance, who’s deep in conversation with Dyno. He turns back to Chesterton.
CAINE: Keep kicking ass, brother.
Without another word, Caine heads out the door.
