Sensational Sharona And Dynamite Debbi

Reception had been completely transformed. The sumo ring was not like a boxing ring but was a large cleared area with just rubber piping to mark the perimeter. Aditty had managed to procure temporary bleachers for the staff to all get a good view. Stew was pleased with the camera placements and was settled at his control console ready to broadcast to Japan and across the rest of the company.

Diane was stood centre ring to make the introductions. "As you all know, we recently signed a prestigious partnership contract with our colleagues in Japan. September is the month of a major sumo wrestling tournament there that totally captures the public imagination and so in celebration of the signing of the contract, we are today presenting our own sumo wrestling event to stream back to the boardroom in Japan." She indicated the big screen which showed a packed room of smiling, waving and predominantly male Japanese faces.

The screen cut back to a view of the ring. "So without further ado, let me introduce our intrepid contestants. To my left, representing Hackney and Antigua, we are very pleased to welcome Sensational Sharona !" Sharona bounced into view from behind a screen. She was wearing a one piece purple romper suit and the customary sumo truss. It was Debbi's first sight of her formidable looking opponent. She wasn't too bothered about that, since her intention was to lose the fight within the first few seconds. But she was bothered by Sharona's attire. "Why's she not wearing a loincloth ?" she hissed at Aditty from where she was still shielded from view behind the other screen. "We could only find one" Aditty lied. "You should be grateful that you're the lucky one who gets the privilege of wearing it !"

By now the cheers for Sharona had died down. "And to my right" Diane continued, "proudly representing England and the company we have Dynamite Debbi !" Debbi was pushed out from behind the screen by Aditty and her appearance, topless and wearing nothing but the peculiar loincloth, immediately elicited wild cheering amid bouts of amused laughter. Diane ushered the pair of fighters together into the centre of the sizeable ring. "We don't have a referee as such but we want lots of grappling and a good clean fight" she told them. "Go back to your side of the ring and we'll sound a bell to start." I'm going to have a lot of fun with this, Sharona thought to herself !
