Interview:
Samoa Joe issues an open challenge

("Mama Said Knock You Out" by LL Cool J played as the new PWF World Heavyweight
Champion Samoa Joe came to the ring to cheers from the crowd.)

Samoa Joe: A Hero has fallen at the hands of a machine and when you beat
Superman, you become the new top dog in the land. I am the new PWF World
Heavyweight Champion and there's no ducking anyone or having someone else do my
work for me. I'll lay it out right now. Anyone member of the PWF that thinks
they can take my belt away from me, you have the option to step forward right
now and try.

("Grand Sword" by Pro-Wrestling NOAH played as Kenta Kobashi came to the ring
followed by Burning members Tamon Honda, Go Shiosaki and Shuhei Taniguchi to
shock from the entire crowd. Kobashi squared off with Joe as the fans stirred
in their seats.)

Samoa Joe: Kenta Kobashi. The PWF has yet to meet the Pacific rim. It's about
time we showed you how it's done, I suppose. You want a shot at my World
Championship. That can be arranged. Kobashi, you are a warrior and a man among
men, but you're squaring off with a man who doesn't simply pin you and walk
away. When I'm done whipping you, you don't come back at me ever again.

(Joe slapped Kobashi across the face to the shock and awe of the crowd. Kobashi
told Honda, Shiosaki and Taniguchi to stand back. Kobashi stepped right into Joe's face and was unphased. Joe draped his belt over the top rope and began
exchanging blows with Kobashi to huge cheers from the crowd. Kobashi exploded
with chop upon chop and laid Joe out with the Burning Lariat. Kobashi saluted
the fans and directed his faction to the locker room.)
