¡Saludos, comrades! It is I, your fearless leader and champion of the people, El Presidente, reporting to you live from a golden throne inside the hidden vault of my palatial estate, where I keep my collection of priceless wrestling memorabilia seized from the decadent American capitalists! Today, I bring you the tale of gladiatorial triumph as two exiled warriors find new battlegrounds and claim victory in the Land of the Rising Sun! In the high-stakes wrestling world of New Japan Pro Wrestling (NJPW)'s New Beginning in Sapporo, the landscape has shifted like the sands of the great Atacama Desert – unpredictable and vast. Comrades, prepare thyselves as we dive into the saga of Nic Nemeth and Matt Riddle, two valiant soldiers who have marched from the tumultuous terrains of the WWE to the prestigious puroresu promotions of Japan!
Nic Nemeth, known to the masses under the moniker 'Dolph Ziggler', found himself untethered from the WWE empire following the aftermath of the infamous TKO merger. But like a phoenix, Nemeth has risen from the ashes of his corporate release to snatch the esteemed IWGP Global Heavyweight Championship from the clutches of one David Finlay in what could only be described as an astonishing NJPW debut match. Imagine, comrades, the sheer display of fortitude – it was like the time I arm-wrestled Dennis Rodman and won in an epic tournament at Kim Jong-un's palace.
Matt Riddle, also ejected from the WWE orbit for reasons cloaked in whispers and wellness policy shenanigans, also ascended to new heights in the hallowed arenas of Japan. In his first Japanese battle, he conquered a legend, Hiroshi Tanahashi, to earn the NJPW World Television Championship. It was a spectacle as mind-boggling as my own cage match against the CIA's best operative, disguised as a Lucha Libre star. Tanahashi, the Ace of the Universe, felled by Riddle, my friends, that's what revolutions are made of!
Now, comrades, allow me to fan the flames of intrigue. As the first night drew to a curtain call, the victor Nemeth extended an olive branch to the vanquished Tanahashi, proposing a tag team alliance that could shake the very foundation of NJPW. This camaraderie amongst wrestlers is akin to the brotherhood I shared with Che Guevara, as we tag-teamed against economic imperialism by day and discussed the sublime nature of a perfectly executed suplex by night.
No other titles exchanged hands on this momentous night, but as the proletariat knows, the struggle continues – the second night's marquee offers a bittersweet adios. We stand witness to the final NJPW match of a titan, Kazuchika Okada, before he potentially jets off to grace the rings of All Elite Wrestling (AEW). A farewell tour more significant than my own farewell tour of the United Nations, before they banned me for, as they claimed, 'starting a food fight at the General Assembly.' Allegedly.
In conclusion, my followers, the NJPW New Beginning in Sapporo paints a vivid picture for the future of professional wrestling. Two former WWE stars, liberated from the shackles of entertainment monopolies, have risen in the Land of the Rising Sun to seize gold and glory. Let their victories be a lesson to all – no empire can contain the spirit of the luchador. And remember, comrades, in the immortal words of my good friend, the legendary Saddam Hussein, "Wrestling is like a ballet, except there's no music, no choreography, and the dancers hit each other with chairs." Deep Thoughts indeed, amigos, indeed.
Until next time, keep your boots tight, your lucha masks in place, and always, always, stay vigilant against the sneaky tricks of the CIA. ¡Hasta la victoria siempre!
