Jon: Have you seen the "Stop the Matsunaga" angle from 2005-6 in Zero-One? Probably not great technical matches, but a great story (Someone gets mad at the pretty boys not being tough enough, so forms a martial arts group to take them down, loses, brings in the ultimate "tough guy" Mitsuharu Matsunaga (known as Mr Danger in Japan, who is both an experienced martial artist, and um.. a "garbage"/"death" match wrestler). Only to have the monster turn on him and everything and basically become the Michael Myers of Zero-One, basically destroying everything with several Muta level blood.

It's a great angle, Matsunaga basically goes old-school memphis (weapons, throwing fire etcetera, stuff that puroresu fans would normally shit on.) But he takes it to such a mental level that he's just an uncaring monster (include taking out the ring bell wielder and one of the timekeepers with weapon shots.) It's the difference between "honorable rules" and "I will just straight fuck you up with everything"

He drags Zero-One down to his level to try to defeat him. Just great stuff.
