For the sake of competition (o2a)

[sion]

The entrance theme of Brian Kang cues, and the fans cheer on the new comer. Fresh of an impressive performance at Solstice, Brian missed the London show, but was ready and willing to put it down in the birthplace of the sport he loved so much. He walks down to the ring, and upon entry, receives a mic. Looking out into the crowd, Brian speaks.

It feels great to be standing here right now. In a city so rich and steeped in history as Athens. The birthplace of everything that happens in between these ropes. This is where it all began. So of COURSE I can imagine that you people are looking to see a quality match tonight. Well you're in luck, because I'm looking for the same.

As the crowd continues to cheer Brian on, he continues his speech.

When I made the trip to NYC to sign on with XWA, I came with one thing in mind. Competition. And one match into my XWA career, I can say that I made the right choice. At Solstice, I got to step in the ring with three other world class wrestlers. And despite the fact that I didn't win, I had a good time. And THAT'S what I myself feel is missing from this industry. The joy of stepping into the ring versus another man. Meeting in the middle of the ring with no issue or agenda, and leaving it all in the ring. THAT'S what Brian Yang is about. Win, lose or draw, as long as I know I gave my all, That's all I need. So tonight, I'm ready to give my all once more. Any man backstage. If you're looking for a match versus someone who's game, and WON'T hold anything back. I'm your man. What do ya' say, boys???

Brian awaits a possible challenger.

OOC: Open to making this a multi-man match if need be.

[Keith Wyle]

As soon as Brian lays down the challenge the crowd gets a little bit "Ultimate Satisfaction" as The Champ steps up to answer the challenge. With the athens crowd giving it up for "The Wyldman" he steps into the ring with the mic already in hand, as usual

Well well well an Open challenge made by someone who doesn't wanna put the locker room on notice, who doesn't wanna put the industry on it's ear, a challenge that is all about putting on a show Athens

Cheap?!?! very ;D

Well that's sounds like a great idea to me? and considering that you sir put on quite the show in the ring at solstice much like yours truly

Athens agrees with The Champ as he continues

With all those ingredients in the pot add a little Wyle Style in it and you have one hell of a match served piping hot just for the fans..

The fans in the stands like the idea but does The Dragon?

Just then TRUSTCompany begins to play on the PA System, Blade is seen in the crowd coming down to the ring he jumps over the guard rails and goes to the announce table and grabs a mic.

Blade goes up on the steps and enters the ring, so i see your doing an open challenge well count me in this should be very interesting.


Blade lowers his mic waiting for Brian or Keith to reply.

No sooner the when Myers finishes speaking, A voice that was fast becoming one mired in infamy speaks up.

Well...well...well...

Out from backstage steps X-Rated.

What do we have here? And interesting little match between a man looking for comp, a man looking to make a name, and one of the BIGGEST names in the company. Interesting.

X begins to pace the stage.

Now unlike you guys in the ring there, I DID find myself in a match last week. A match I didn't even factor into the decision of. But what I DID manage to accomplish last week, is leaving a lasting impression in the minds of Bryan Jasta & Evan Fate. Now I bet all of you people are wondering why I didn't hurry in and rush to break up the pin that essentially gave Fate the win, DESPITE the fact that I'm the guy that laid Jasta out. Why? Eh...didn't feel like it. I just needed a match versus a pair of established "powerhouses" to prove that X can and WILL hang with the big boys.[/font]

Having said that, X focuses in on "The Champ".

And SPEAKING of big boys, it doesn't get much bigger then the XWA World Champ. The guy holding the one belt in the biz that actually matters. And low and behold, "The Champ Is Here". You know what I see from that??? Opportunity. The same opportunity that came up last week. Despite the fact that I didn't win the match in London, I delivered the critical blow in that match. And on the National Champion no less. And it seems this week, I get to move up one rung on the ladder, and do the same to the WORLD champ. And if say I were to...I dunno...PIN you. Well, that'd just be the old feather in the cap of X-Rated now wouldn't it? There'd be no WAY that the higher ups would be able to look over me as being a "top draw talent" having pinned the champ in a non title affair.

Simply put, Gentlemen...I'M IN.

And this time, I'm in it to win. PERIOD.

[sion]

Brian is first to respond.

Now THIS I wasn't expecting. I came out here looking for a match, and instead, it seems I've got myself a barn burner. Two of the companies best, and another up and comer. You know what I call that? I call that a FIGHT. But since it's obvious we're all looking to make some kind of statement, I say we go one step better then your normal, run the mill fatal four. I say we do it in a STEEL CAGE. Something that's gonna push the boundaries of what you might conventionally do. Because I'm ALL about pushing the boundaries. How's that sound, gentlemen?

Yang lowers his mic in wait of a reply.

[x]

X stands grinning at the prospect.

A steel cage? Hmmmph. I've built me CAREER in the cage. I'm all in, on ONE condition...

We make it PINS or SUBMISSIONS.

[Keith Wyle]

Wyle looks at X-Rated looks like the kid had a agenda

A bullseye on my back? X I've had one of those on my back since BEFORE I had this title

Patting his world title as he speaks

and as far as losing a 5-Star? Pfft...you need to check my history I don't care about loses...they don't mean anything. I lost a match to the very man I took the title from...A week before I beat him for it...so you can throw that head game out the window.

Adjusting the title on his shoulder

Truth be told I could lose this match and still walk into Italy and give Kris Cade the match of his life to date....and what I suggest you do is not just focus on me, cause the minute you do one of these two guys will knock you out and I'll pin you, think about that

[sion]

Pins or Submissions???

Yang puts his hand to his chin...

YOU'RE ON!!! Couldn't have thought of something better myself.

[x]

X gives his typical smug response.

That's all I needed to hear, Mr. Dragon.

X then gives Wyle a look up and down and smirks.

And all I need from YOU...is to know that while you as you say have "gotten used to the bullseye", you've never head a sniper on the other end. And I intend to be the guy to spoil your week. Whether these guys get in the way or not. That's ALL I need to think about.

He gives the champ a wink.

See you boys in the ring.

He turns and begins to head backstage.

[sion]

The competitive juices were definitely flowing, as from in the ring, Brian could clearly see what was brewing between X-Rated and Wyle. For his obvious reasons, X saw this as a chance to show up the champ. But for Brian, he had his own agenda in this match. To show off that he himself, was a fierce competitor. He looks on as Wyle and X have there exchange.

[Keith Wyle]

Keith looks on a moment before turning to Brian and Blade

See you two in the ring

Keith then makes his way to the back with his music beginning to blare

...If that kid only knew....snipers get caught too...

[blade07]

Blade looks at Brian, Kieth and X, Interesting a Steel Cage Fatal 4 Way he looks at his 3 other opponents this is going to be interesting.

Blade drops his mic and exits the ring, he heads up the ramp and looks back at the ring for a quick minute and then heads to the back.
