Red Is For Love (Io Shirai X Male OC)

New Look, New Attitude

Me: 私は間違いなくそうです。 (I definitely will.)

So yeah, I have Minoru's blessing, which is so fucking awesome and I really can't wait to debut that look, but instead of an all black ring gear, I'm gonna add some color.

Why not red and black?

It would work because I'm now a heel and I want to be looking like an evil wrestler who can back up his words, unlike the heels in wrestling where they threaten other wrestlers and when the babyface attack they run away.

So what I'm gonna be doing is take bits and pieces of my mentor and add them to my character, and one of those bits and pieces is having no remorse for anything said or done in and out of the ring.

Minoru is ruthless inside the ring, and many Young Lions run away with their tails between their legs, and that's what I wanna bring to NXT now that I'm a heel.

For my hairstyle, I didn't want to do the same as before now that I'm a bad guy, so my next bet was to get a really, really short buzzcut, and here's what happened as I went to the barber the other day, right before we arrived for NXT...

I'm not gonna dye my hair red and black because I just think my gear would show the difference altogether.

Masami and I arrived at Full Sail, and we got to our locker room, waiting for Hunter.

When he walked in, he was smiling at what he was seeing.

Hunter: Love the new look, Kai.

Me: Arigato, Hunter.

Hunter: Now, with you as a heel, I've been thinking about this: Kai is going to take on the "Finest" Kona Reeves. He's our resident jobber in NXT so do whatever you want to send a message.

Me: I plan to.

I took out my new gear and when I showed it to Hunter, he seemed intrigued by what I had in mind...
