Matsuda Posted January 6, 2011 Posted January 6, 2011 [The familiar sound of a triumphant shamisen rings out its violent chords as the promotional video for Unbeatable MATSUDA is shown on the viewer’s television screen one again. However there is something different this time, what was once kana indistinguishable to the American audience has been translated so that the viewer may understand.] [TEXT:] I AM MATSUDA. I AM UNBEATABLE. I AM COMING TO OCW I AM UNBEATABLE MATSUDA. AND AMBITION IS MINE. [As the flashing images of the famous Japanese strong style wrestler fade to black and the roar of the shamisen returns to silence, the viewer is not greeted by the sound of their local commercial, instead, the screen briefly remains blank.] [The sound of a traditional Noh Theatre percussion sends sharp, high pitch clicks which echo in the viewer’s home. The click starts out slow, but it begins to pick up, the sound of Noh chanters can be heard wailing in the darkness. As the sound of the music reaches its peak speed, it stops abruptly, and MATSUDA steps into view, shortly followed by an intimidating older Japanese man in a suit.] [MATSUDA is dressed head to toe in one of his elaborate entrance attires, resembling the traditional garb of a Kabuki samurai in black and gold--most noticeable is the elaborate head piece sitting upon his head. An elegant yet fierce mask covered all but small portions of his painted face.] [The other man is older, his cold gaze hidden behind darkened sunglasses. His suit is fine tailored, the top few buttons are left undone displaying one of many detailed tattooed which covered his body, His balding hair is pulled back into a ponytail, he is the first to speak.] MAN: The clock is ticking towards the first Ambition of the new year, but Unbeatable MATSUDA grows restless. [His voice is deep and booming, his words are spoken with a thick yet understandable Japanese accent.] MAN: But first allow us to introduce ourselves. I am Masaki Yamaguchi, and I will serve as manager and translator to Unbeatable MATSUDA. [He motions an open hand directing the camera to MATSUDA, the camera pans and zooms in, going up his extravagant attire before stopping on his covered face.] YAMAGUCHI: And the man you see here is the crown jewel of Japan, Unbeatable MATSUDA. [Making a jagged claw out of his fingers covered in black tape, MATSUDA makes a crisp cut throat motion at the sound of his name.] YAMAGUCHI: But I digress. By now, you should know what this is about. PATOLOMAI! [At the mention of the name, MATSUDA points towards the camera violently.] YAMAGUCHI: Do not think for one moment that Unbeatable MATSUDA has not been watching you! He is aware of your threats and stands ready to face you EYE to EYE! [MATSUDA points to the darkened eye holes on his mask.] YAMAGUCHI: Your day of Kings is upon us! All you can do now is pray to Buddha that you are not the great one’s first victim! [With this said, in one swift motion MATSUDA shoves Mr. Yamaguchi out off screen and removes the headdress, he face is intricately pained in black, red, and white.] MATSUDA: OTETSUDAI SEPPUKU SHIMASHOUKA? WATASHI WA MATSUDA! WATASHI WA UNABETABARU. WATASHI WA UNBETABARU MATSUDA! [Matsuda proceeds to throw his head back and spit a green mist onto the camera lens causing it to almost instantly to cut to black.] ----- [MATSUDA TRANSLATION: Shall I assist you in your suicide? I am Matsuda. I am unbeatable. I am Unbeatable MATSUDA!] 5

Look at his haircut, he must be gay. Look how sensitive and vulnerable he is, he must be gay.” That means women feel safe around me. They trust me. Then bang! Pregnant! Bang! Pregnant! Bang! Pregnant! Another generation. We continue.’
