It had been a while since Viper Hoshiwara had last been in a match in LAW. Even when signed to the promotion, she still made appearances on the independent deathmatch wrestling circuit - which, in turn, often meant that she had injuries to take care of, not helped by her devil-may-care attitude and utter disregard for her own safety. All of that kept her tied up. But few promoters could deny that her fearsome aura and her willingness to perform the sorts of stunts that could chill any viewers to the bone made her a draw on any card she was on. She was a special attraction - the sort of wrestler where some fans tuned into her matches just to see if this would be enough to take her down, and some were morbidly curious about what she was going to do next. It was only a matter of time before she made her return to LAW - and tonight would be the night.
Viper was usually apathetic to a lot of things, but this was a match that caught her attention for two reasons. For one, it was a cage match, which would make things interesting - it added an extra level of brutality that Viper was sure to take advantage of, and it ensured her opponent would have nowhere to hide, forcing the two of them to meet each other with their worst. But also, from the rumors she had picked up, her opponent had specifically chosen her for this match. Viper had no idea who this Sachiko was - but if she had an eye out for her specifically, then she was sure it would be a match she wouldn't soon forget. Whenever personal tensions got involved...things tended to get interesting.
"Coming first to the ring, from Akishima, Japan! Standing at 5'8, weighing 145 pounds, VIPEEEERRRR HOSHIWARAAAAA!!"
The entrance ramp was bathed in the glow of red lights and metal music blared from the speakers as Viper strode out from the Gorilla position, holding one fist in the air over her head. Despite getting her fair share of boos, and even some cheers from those excited to see her back in the ring, the green-haired woman showed the same disinterested look on her face as always as she stormed her way down the aisle. As she reached the door of the cage, she stood beside it, turning to the crowd and whipping her switchblade out of her pocket to slowly run her tongue along its edge, but then she put it back and proceeded through the door, doing a few stretches as she waited for her opponent to arrive.
