They hold Jenn in place as the person in between them slowly removes her own hood to show Hirata’s fiance, the Poison Dragon Dokueki, with a wicked grin on her face and her eyes wide. She reaches into her pocket, and produces Yuka’s brass knuckles, handing them over to her soon to be wife with a laugh before wrapping her hands around Jenn’s throat, holding her in place.
Yuka Hirata: Ichi! Ni! San! ESS! BEE! ESS! YOSH!!
Biff Franklin: That’s what I say.
The other two members of SBS can be heard joining Yuka in her chant before the arrogant Joshi slams her opponent across the face with the brass knuckles, causing her to go limp and get dropped to the floor.
Christine Donahue: This is definitely not looking good for Drew here. It’s basically a four on one.
Biff Franklin: They’re going back to their seats. Nothing to worry about.
Christine Donahue: Until the next time Yuka gets into trouble.
Yuka nods, playing up to the crowd as Dokueki and the other two members of SBS take their seats with smug grins on their faces. Hirata drags her limp opponent back to the ring, rolling her inside before following. She goes into the cover, hooking a leg.
One!
Two!!
Thre--!!
NO!!!
Christine Donahue: I think Yuka thought her night was going to be over just like that, but Drew is not ready to give up yet.
Somehow, someway, Jenn Drew musters up the strength to kick out of the pin, and Yuka cannot believe it. In a rage, she pulls Drew to her feet, throwing her into the corner as hard as she can before chasing her in, but Jenn slips off to the side and Yuka crashes right into the corner.
Christine Donahue: Jenn saving herself from that vicious attack from Yuka there. Can she recover and bring this match around?
As Yuka hits the turnbuckle, Jenn leaps up and takes her down with a hurricanrana as the crowd comes to life and Yuka is toss to the center of the ring. Jenn charges in and flips herself around crashing her body right on top of Yuka with a running shooting star press but she only gets a two count as Yuka bridges out of the pin.
Biff Franklin: Drew picking things up here showing off some of her flying maneuvers.
Jenn drags Yuka closer to the corner and then starts to climb up to the top turnbuckle. She leaps off towards flipping herself around and around before crashing to the mat.
Christina Donahue: Are you kidding me?
As Jenn was preparing for her finisher, the 630 splash she calls The Curtain Call, Dokueki leaps over the guardrail and pulls Yuka out of the way.
Biff Franklin: Might be the fighting spirit but it sure got the job done.
Yuka staggers to her feet and moves in, pulling Jenn to her feet and whipping her into the turning. She charges in, driving home a BRUTAL leaping forearm which whips the challengers head backwards into the turnbuckle. She throws a couple more of these forearms into her opponent before lifting her up and seating her on the top turnbuckle before dragging her thumb across her throat and pulling her into the reverse Fireman’s Carry position.
Biff Franklin: This doesn’t look good for the challenger.
Yuka walks Drew out into the middle of the ring and, with a roar, executes her fiance’s infamous finisher, the DRAGON’S LAST DANCE! The Burning Hammer drops Drew on her head. She moves in behind Jenn and locks in the Kirisute Gomen (Kirifuda Clutch) and Jenn tries to reach the ropes but as Yuka lies back, Jenn has no choice but to tap.
The bell rings.
Madoka Kawada: Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of the match and STILL the Luchacore Champion, Yuuuuuuuukaaaaaa Hirataaaaaaaa!
The rest of the SBS hop the guardrail and enter the ring to celebrate with Yuka as the referee helps Jenn from the ring.
Christine Donahue: Yuka had all the aces in this particular match.
Biff Franklin: Jenn Drew has a lousy pair. When the cards are stacked against you, it’s hard to come back from that and Yuka had several cards hidden up her sleeve.
Christine Donahue: Hopefully Jenn will get a rematch and find a way to ensure that this doesn’t happen again. As we clear the ring and get set up for the main event, the Prison Break match between Morgan Payne and Bruce McLeod for the Multiuniversal Championship, we are going to take a peek right now at the first ten minutes of Splat’s first series of the 2021 season, The Restaurant which stars Arley Kirk, Eric Dononvon, Hayley Fien and Ricky Stanton.
Five Years Ago
It’s snowing outside. Not much. Some flurries. Douglas Frost is walking down the road, past one streetlight, then onto the next. He walks slowly. He is tall, dark hair. As we get a closeup of him, we see a drop of blood that has traveled down his cheek. It’s not his. He doesn’t have a scratch on him. A look at his left-hand shows that it’s also bloody.
His expression is that of him being in shock.
He continues to walk.
A car slowly drives up behind him and moves past several feet before the brake lights light up. The car is put into reverse and drives backwards and then stops. The door opens and Dante Schumer gets out of the car.
As the door of the car closes and Schumer walks towards Frost, he has two glasses in one hand and a bottle of scotch in the other. Frost is slow to turn to meet him.
“They say that when you need to forget, even temporarily, scotch is the key,” says the Schumer. He appears to be the older of the two. He begins to pour the scotch into the glasses unconcerned when they begin to flow over the top and spill onto the ground.
As he offers one glass to Frost, he asks, “Do you regret it?”
Frost is silent for a long moment. Then, with a shaky, bloody hand, he reaches up and accepts the glass. Schumer begins to drink, he doesn’t stop until he empties the liquid from the glass. When finished, he drops the glass onto the ground and it shatters as soon as it hits the pavement.
The other man still holds his glass, not answering the question, Schumer reaches up and places a hand on Frost's shoulder, “Enjoy the moment.”
Finally, Frost glances down at his drink and then slowly looks back up at Schumer and as it looks like he might say something, the screen goes black.

SNEAK PEEK - EPISODE 1
SMUG IS A POSITIVE QUALITY
As we come to the present, the scene opens up inside a courtroom, the judge is hammering his mallet on the desk as the crowd begins to get loud.
“There will be order in this courtroom! If you cannot control yourselves, I will clear my courtroom. I will not say it again. Ms. Prosecuter, you were saying?”
As the room quiets down, Sue Ann Clark (played by Arley Kirk) looks exasperated as she looks over at the defendant’s attorney, Douglas Frost who has a very smug look on his face right now. “Your honor, the defendant’s attorney has continued to harrass the victim in this case with his derogatory statements…”
The smug Douglas Frost (played by Eric Donovan) stands
