THEME SONG: “Hopes and Dreams” by Cement City

ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION: The lights in the arena shift to several shades of purple as “Hopes and Dreams” by Cement City begins to play on the sound system. A countdown from three to zero is shown before the crowd in unison chants “Go Zane Go!” Right on cue with the tempo picking up Zane makes her way onto the stage. Adorned in her custom entrance coat and mask, she looks out to the adoring fans, giving a nod of approval and then heading over to the ring. Zane hops up onto the apron, soaking in the adulation from the fans for a moment. Again on cue with her theme, she turns around and leaps over the top rope into the ring. She then heads over to the adjacent ropes, stepping onto the bottom and middle rope, giving a salute to the enthusiastic crowd. Another nod from the masked Zane causes the fans to somehow cheer louder before the moon child backflips off the ropes, landing in the center of the ring on one knee. Getting up to her feet, Zane removes her mask, showcasing it with a smile on her face before heading over to the nearest corner. She then removes her ring coat and hands both the coat and mask to the ring attendant. With her music fading to silence, Zane places her focus on the task at hand.

CHAMPION ENTRANCE DESCRIPTION: The lights in the arena shift to several shades of purple as “Hopes and Dreams” by Cement City begins to play on the sound system. A countdown from three to zero is shown before the crowd in unison chants “Go Zane Go!” Right on cue with the tempo picking up Zane makes her way onto the stage. Adorned in her custom entrance coat and mask, her championship belt proudly around her waist, she looks out to her cheerful fans. Giving a nod of approval at the reception, Zane begins heading over to the ring. The prideful champion hops up onto the apron, continuing to soak in the crowd’s adulation. Again on cue with her theme, she turns around and leaps over the top rope into the ring. She then heads over to the adjacent ropes, stepping onto the bottom and middle rope, giving a salute to the enthusiastic crowd. Another nod from the masked Zane causes the fans to somehow cheer louder before the moon child backflips off the ropes, landing in the center of the ring on one knee. Getting up to her feet, Zane removes her mask and unclasps her title belt, showcasing them both with a smile on her face. Handing the championship to the official, Zane then heads over to the nearest corner, removing her ring coat and handing both the coat and mask to the ring attendant.

Brash, bright, sweet, guarded, weird, prodigy. These are several of the words used to describe Emiko Kubo, known in wrestling as Zane, throughout her life and career. Even though she is young, she’s been wrestling for more than half her life, beginning training at the age of eight and having her first live match on her tenth birthday. Spending most of her career as a freelancer in her native country, following her eighteenth birthday, she travelled to her first outside company. This turned out to be CWA, the Capital Wrestling Association based in Manchester. In just her third month in the company she won the equivalent of their Women’s Championship, becoming the Vixens Champion and holding onto the title for six months while she continued her studies at home. Once the company closed its doors, Emiko, after having a talk with her parents, decided to move to California on her own. Continuing her multi-sport legacy alongside her college education, musical performances, and budding acting career, Zane looks to further her wrestling accomplishments as well. She’s all about her crafts after all and they are plentiful.

CWA Vixens Champion (1x).
