            | Hi, I'm Nippon
              Gene, your ring announcer, here at Kinniku-Muscle Wrestling. After
              a LONG 17 year recess, I was contacted by GRAND KINNIKUMAN
              himself. And by his request and under his authority, Kinniku-Muscle
              Wrestling was once again resumed. Here's the interview. |  
 
        
        
          
            | Ladies and Gentlemen! May
              I have your undivided attention. I have next to me, to my far
              left, the one, the only, GRAND
              KINNIKUMAN himself. |  
 
        
        
          
            | After a 17 year recess, he
              has come out of seclusion to make an important announcement. |  
 
        
        
          
            | Oh GRAND
              KINNIKUMAN, greatest of all wrestlers, why do you now, after such
              a long period of silence, wish to rekindle the greatest sport of
              all, Kinniku-Muscle Wrestling ? |  
 
        
        
          
            | Yes Nippon Gene, it was a
              long time. It has been nearly 22 years since our inception here in
              America. And over 17 years since we last met. Now after this great
              period of silence, of being stowed away in shoeboxes everywhere,
              we are being called forth from our state of lying dormant. It is
              because of the twenty-somethings of this Great Nation, who having
              moved out on their own, marrying, and bearing children, suddenly
              realize that being a child, though there were restrictions galore,
              carried with it a peace of mind that they will always long for.
              And in so awakening, they are trying to relive portions of their
              childhood, and in doing so, rekindle some of that lost peace.
              Tired of the rat race that they are locked into, they are turning
              to nostalgia, and in doing so, are awakening the other great
              races, such as the Transformers, GI Joes, Spinjas, Battle Beasts,
              and also Star Wars. Just yesterday, I received a message from the
              Great Yoda, who was also awakened from his deep sleep. And so,
              because of the longing cries of the multitudes, the popularity of
              eBay, and the fact that they have jobs to pay for their own toys
              now, instead of begging mom & dad, I am implored to restore Kinniku-Muscle
              Wrestling !  |  
 
        
        
          
            | Standing to my right is
              Mr. Hand. Upon his appendages rest the 3 newly designed belts for
              the recently vacated Heavy-weight and Tag Team championship
              positions. For the Heavy-weight title, we have narrowed the ladder
              to 60 total contestants. And the same also for the 14 Tag Teams
              that will compete. I will not compete in these contests, due to my
              super "kick your ass and jack you over with just a
              thought" powers. And so I will reside as ultimate judge and
              league commissioner. I will also serve as league bookie, in case
              you care to hedge your bets on this one. |
