::Rising some 1093 feet above the city of Tokyo, Japan is the red and white steel tower reminiscent of the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris, France known as the Tokyo Tower. Used primarily as a communications and tourist tower, the Tokyo Tower features two observation decks, museums, shops and restaurants. Numerous radio and television stations use the tower as a communications hub, while tourists flock to see the tower.::
::It is here inside one of the observation desks of the Tokyo Tower that the current reigning and defending APW North American Champion “the Hong Kong Sensation” Amy Zing stands. She is dressed in a simple pair of jeans and an Amy Zing “Phoenix emblem” t-shirt. The APW North American Championship is over her left shoulder.::
::She has returned to Tokyo, the city where she made her debut a year ago at the One Night in Hell pay-per-view. Now she has returned as something few thought she would ever be; a champion. Yet, despite this, Amy’s mood does not seem triumphant or even joyful. As she watches the sun set over the capital city of Japan, she seems almost melancholy. It is not hard to figure out why as the sun is not only setting on Japan, but it may also be setting on her last day as a champion. It should not be surprising that she is alone in one of the tower’s observation decks as it was modeled on the Eiffel Tower and Paris was the first city Amy ever competed in as a champion.::
“I have found myself thinking of just one question since I learned of this Fourway Bra & Panties Match at One Night in Hell. The question I keep finding myself asking is not can I beat Robina Hood, Kaylyn James Evans and Shione Oshima in a fourway match. It is not a question of my ability or my desire to win or my determination or even my heart, because those things can never and should never be questioned. It is not a question of my wanting to remain the APW North American Champion, because I have every intention and desire of retaining my championship. I am not even questioning if I can strip another woman down to her underwear and then try to kick her head off, because I have to do it in order to retain my championship.”
::Her hand brushes the title belt.::
“No, and I will be the first to admit that the particular question I keep thinking about is a rather odd question to think about given who I am facing in this match, but it is still a question I keep thinking about. I find myself questioning what exactly does one wear to a Bra & Panties Match?”
“I mean honestly, think about it. Now, obviously, I can’t really wear my ring gear to a match like this as it is not easy to get off, so I will probably end up wrestling in something like that looks like pants and a tank top. Obviously I had to have something new made by the seamstress just because I really don’t want to wrestle in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, because those would just get ruined, so I do need a new outfit. But really, what sort of bra and panties does one wear to this sort of thing. I can not really justify wearing something from say Victoria Secrets underneath ring gear. That just sounds like a bad idea. Can I get away with something like I would go to the gym with or does that not count? I really don’t know why I am so focused on this. It may have to do with not wanting to lose a title in my underwear or to be seen in front of a worldwide pay-per-view audience. I mean, sure I did Playboy a few years ago and everyone saw that I was naked in that and those pictures are probably on the Internet and what not, but that is different. And really, who would wrestle in lingerie? There’s no way that it is going to be comfortable or even really all that doable. And really, what if the bra gets tanked off by mistake? Okay, so maybe that is more than just one question, but I still feel it is a valid concern in this sort of a situation. It is just something I have been thinking about. It may seem strange, but still I…”
::Realizing that she is not so much speaking as she is rambling, Amy closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. She exhales slowly to regain her center and her focus. She opens her eyes and looks back over the city once known as Edo.::
“I don’t know, maybe I have been thinking about the wrong issue because this match is just so much bigger than I care to admit to. This is my first championship defense. I had hoped to maybe make one while we were in China, or even before in my first month, but this match was signed almost immediately after I won the title, so it was pretty much set to be my first official title defense.”
::Amy smiles as if the words she said amused her somehow.::
“My first official title defense.” That is something I am sure a lot of people never thought they would here me say. So many times I tried to become a champion and so many times I failed to win that I think people thought I would never become a champion. Even through the match, I know commentary was debating my ability to win. I know our fans were out there wondering if it would be my night or if Robina would once and for all beat me, and they had a point to wonder if it would happen or not.”
“Somehow, that night, I just earned the Mandate of Heaven and was allowed to finally become a champion. It was, without a doubt, a moment beyond words. I still remember every single detail of that night.”
“Despite the constant failures, that night was my night. And now, despite Robina’s need for revenge, or Kaylyn’s attempts to beat me and even the risk of losing a friend in Shione, I would not trade these last two months for anything in the world. These have been some of the most amazing weeks I have had in my entire life.”
::Amy takes the title from her shoulder and looks at the plate. She sighs a bit and then places the title back over her shoulder.::
“I know some time, my reign as APW North American Champion will end. There is no way around it. Sooner or later, I will go to that ring and I will lose the APW North American Championship. It is a given. Every champion has to accept the fact that at some point in time their reign will come to an end.”
::Her voice cracks, as if upset and on the verge of tears.::
“Well pardon me for being selfish, but I am not ready for my time as a champion here in APW to come to an end. I have worked too long and too hard to just give it up without a fight. Right now, the APW North American Championship is my championship and I intend to hold on to it through One Night in Hell. I am not ready to give up being a champion just two months after I won it.”
::She pulls the title from her shoulder and holds it out in front of her, almost as if daring someone try and take it from her. The look in her eyes is the same look one would expect from someone with something important to protect. A wiser move may be to try and steal the treasure of a dragon, a suicidal quest for sure, than to try and beat her for the championship she sought for so long.::
“I have gone through too much and waited too long for this opportunity, for my time to be a champion. Robina, Kaylyn, you have had your chances in the past and you have both been champions. This is my first time ever. I have no intention of letting this be the first time you beat me Kaylyn or losing to you Robina. I can beat you both and if I have to strip you naked and kick your head off to do it again, then I will.”
“Shione, you are my best friend here in Action Packed Wrestling. We are a team. However, I am not willing to let you take this title yet. I do not want it to come between us, but I have every intention of keeping it at One Night in Hell and deal with any issues or effects that it has on our friendship after the match.”
::Amy drapes the title back over her shoulder. She takes a deep breath and exhales slowly to try and calm herself down.::
“I realize I sound a little possessive of this championship and that it is a bit out of character for me. I know that. It is just that this is my first time as a champion and I am not yet ready to see it end. I have no designs or illusions that I will become the longest reigning APW North American Champion in history. I just do not want my first and only title reign to end on the one year mark of my time in Action Packed Wrestling. And, as I said, I am not trying to be a great champion, but I would like to hold onto the title beyond at least one defense. I just want one successful championship defense. If that makes me selfish, then fine, maybe I am a little selfish, but I am not going to apologize. Every champion wants to hold onto their title as long as they can. I won it and right now it is mine until someone takes it from me. If I am going to try and prevent that from being here at One Night in Hell and it makes me selfish, then I am selfish.”
“Robina, Kaylyn, you know how hard I fought before I won a championship. Now you get to see how hard I am going to fight when I actually have a title to defend. You have never beaten Kaylyn. I have no idea why that is as you are very good at what you do and I personally don’t think that I am better than you, but for some reason, you have yet to beat me. One Night in Hell will not be the first time. Robina, somewhere, someway and somehow, you lost your edge. Yes, you are still a vicious competitor, but there is something missing, something that has left you hollow. I do not know if you will get it back, but I am going to make sure One Night in Hell is not the night you do.”
“Shione, my dear friend Shione, if I am to lose this title, I hope it is to you. You truly deserve a run as a champion here in Action Packed Wrestling. However, I am not yet ready to lose the title. It is nothing personal, but I would rather not have your time come at the end of mine. I know that this is Japan, your home country and that you will have friends and family there watching, cheering for you and hoping you win, but Shione, I am sorry because I cannot allow that to happen. I want to win. I want to keep my championship. I am sorry, but I do. We are friends and I want to stay that way, and I hope the title does not come between us, so I hope you will forgive me for doing whatever I have to in order to retain it Shione, I really do.”
“I know I do not have a choice when and where I lose it, or to whom I lose it to, but I am going to do whatever I have to in order to make sure that I leave One Night in Hell as the APW North American Champion regardless of who I have to strip or whose head I have to kick off.”
::Amy glances at the title on her shoulder. She readjusts the title.::
“This is going to be a fight, because if tomorrow is my last match as a champion, then this phoenix is going to go out in a blaze of glory, so good luck ladies, because I may crash and burn, but someone is going with me. And when I rise, I will only rise better and stronger than before, determined to regain what I lost or another belt, whichever comes my way. I’ve finally tasted championship gold and I have to say that I like it, the wait was totally worth it.”
::“The Hong Kong Sensation” looks up from the title and back to the city. A few stars can be seen high in the sky as the lights of Tokyo brighten the encroaching dakness that follows twilight.::
“Shione, Kaylyn, Robina, tomorrow, at One Night in Hell, I am going to show you why I am the North American Champion. At One Night in Hell, I am going to show the three of you, everyone in the Tokyodome, everyone in Ryōgoku Kokugikan and everyone watching around the world why I am simply Amy Zing."
::Amy takes the title off
"Again, I will wish you good luck, because you will need it as this is goign to be one hell of a fight. You want it? You are going to have to damn near kill me to take it from me ladies. See you tomorrow in the Tokyodome for One Night in Hell, I'll be the one bringing the title belt.”
::With that Amy drapes the title back over her shoulder and walks away from the window. The scene fades out of the panoramic view of the city’s skyline from the Tokyo Tower’s observation deck.::
