Sentai leads the camera crew, and their armed guards, into the temple’s large sanctuary. There sitting upon his throne, surrounded by his dark disciples is GRIM. Hovering at his sides are the mad dog, Jin Hirai, and the “purified” gaijin, GRIMMY Winner. GRIM notices the group approaching, a sadistic smile crosses his face as he goes straight into his narrative.

“When last I was seen to the outside word my face was crushed beneath the foot of the gaijn menace, A.J. Knight. My defeat caused my followers scattering to the four winds.
“For forty days and forty nights I wander through Aokigahara Forest, a broken soul, until my dark mistress, Jorōgumo found me and took me into her dark embrace. I believed this was to be my end, that I had failed the spider lady for the last time, but instead Jorōgumo told me my time had not yet come. She told me she still had use for me and filled me with her venom, nursing me back to health with the flesh of the very crows that had come to feast upon me.
“Once my strength returned she told me I needed to learn more about the dark ways of magic and set me upon the path to Sai No Kawara. There I sat for seven days and seven night upon the river’s bank and upon the darkest hour, when the moon was new in the sky, I partook of the cosmic cookie. Low and behold, a demon rose from the water’s deep, a lost souls who once ravaged the squared circle and left his enemies broken inside the ring.”
GRIM’s disciples started chanting, “Goryō! Goryō! Goryō!” Smoke filled the sanctuary and a figure rose from ground at the foot of GRIM’s throne. When the smoke dissipated, a gnarled figure with long hair knelt before GRIM’s feet, hold a katana blade in his hands. The camera crew gasped wit fear and the guards pulled their guns from their holsters. For his part, GRIM simply laughed.

“Behold! I present to you the vengeful demon, The Great Goryō. For twenty three years Goryō destroyed all those who dared stand before him, both here in Japan and throughout the world. His untamed rage was so great that even the Storm himself dared not cross his path. Now he has already begun to share his dark teachings with me and everyday I grow even stronger and powerful in both the ways of black magic, as well in the ring.”
He rises from the throne and steps forward. Goryō quickly stands and stands at his right side, with Sentai, Jin and GRIMMY stepping forward to flank them both.
“The J1 Summit has come upon us once again, and once more I step forward to bring honor to Jorōgumo and the Demon Brigade and rid our country of the gaijins’s foul taint. It seems fitting that the first two to feel my growing might are both former Lion’s Road World Champions. James Edwards and Robb Daniels. Their very presence in Japan in a blemish upon this land but soon they will both feel the vengeance of my wraith and will have Jorōgumo’s venom flowing through their veins. The marks left upon Julian Cutlass and Alexander Irvine, left by my Lady’s poison, will pale in comparison to what will befall Edwards and Daniels.
“Edwards, you are a fool for returning to Max-J. When last we met the White Zombie and I took a grand prize from you and your partner, the World Tag Team Titles. How does it feel to know that you are to blame for the titles never returning to your homeland? Trust me when I say that the price you will pay will be much greater this time. Jorōgumo’s shroud will fall upon you and you will be consumed by darkness forever more.
“As for you Daniels, you are arrogant and smug like so many of your countrymen. You believe yourself better than so many around you but in the eyes of Jorōgumo you are like everyone else. The rain falls on both the just and the unjust, Daniels, and so too does the Spider Lady’s wraith. At the end of the day, you will be yet another sacrifice to Jorōgumo and one less gaijin infesting our land.
“Edwards, Daniels, may your fall be warning to all those who dare cross my path. Let your screams fill the air! Vengeance is mine! All will bow to the Demon Brigade and Jorōgumo!”
