No Doctor's Note Needed (open to X-Gen)

[Sushi-X]

Here it was...season three of the XWA. But Sushi-X wasn't in Long Island. He was back home in Chicago. He was in a gym rehabbing his knee. He vowed to make an appearance in the season opener, and he didn't disappoint. He was just hoping that appearance would be in New York, but he has not been officially cleared to compete. His image appeared on the jumbotron.

Testing, testing. We recording?

A nod and a thumbs-up from the cameraman, and he was off and running. The crowd cheered as he waved to the thousands at the Nassau Coliseum.

I know what you're expecting. Yeah, I was supposed to be in Long Island tonight, but as you can see, this is keeping that from happening.

Sushi-X points to the left knee injury he suffered just a few weeks ago in training.

Now, I refuse to let this knee injury stop me, or hold me back from what I love to do. That is fight and give my heart out to all these fans. So what's the update? I mean, as Stevie Ray once said, "suckas gotta know", right? Well, if you give me a minute, I'll explain it to you.

Sushi-X walked away from the camera view, then the jumbotron goes blank. The crowd waits in puzzlement for a moment wondering what had happened.

Mike: Well, we are experiencing some technical difficulties, we do apologize; again, we are live.

Buzz: What's to apologize for, Roach? Maybe Sushi-X is announcing his retirement or something. After all, he did suffer a career devastating loss at XGames. He's now the property of MG.

Mike: How do you know that?

Buzz: I have my sources, you know that. I get connections YOU don't.

A faint cheer emerges from the upper sections, then grows louder. Thousands are turning toward each other looking for the commotion. The upper deck cheers loudly as Sushi-X emerges from one of the tunnels with a microphone and building and XWA security. The video that played was obviously a pre-recording.

Buzz: What the hell? It's Sushi-X! I thought he was in Chicago.

Mike: I don't believe it. It is Sushi-X! And he looks to be walking just fine to me, Buzz! Listen to this response!

Buzz: If I were him, I'd keep walking. Walk away while you still have some dignity.

The ninja walks down the steps and stops near a section of very excited fans. He began to speak.

Right, right. Where was I? Anyway, I'm back! The doctors insist I should take it easy for a while, but you know me. I'm not one to take it easy...or sit on my ass. See, here's what I want. I'm coming after the X-Gen title in 2009. But I know XWA management ain't gonna give it to me on my first night back. I gotta earn it like everyone else. So that's what I'm doing. Starting now. What I need...is a huckleberry in the X-Gen division. You wanna be that huckleberry? Step on up... and FEEL THE POWER OF X!

[x]

You're joking, right? Seriously...

No music, no fancy display. Lionel Xander steps out from backstage with mic in hand.

"Feel the power of X?" Was is this? A Saturday morning cartoon? Who the hell says something cheesy like that? Oh wait...I know who. A guy who thinks he's a damn Ninja, that's who. You give the letter X a bad name, my friend. But I hate to break it to you, but there's only one "X" in XWA & The X-Gen Division, And you're looking at him right here. You see, I've watched you make a damn fool of yourself for over a year now. Joining forces with that pathetic wanna-be gangsta MG, gettin' made at Wargames by Tommy Tryton...way to drop the ball on that one, by the way. Face it, dude. You're a waste. Why XWA keeps you on payroll I may never know, but I think it's time you earned that pay. I can go on and on and on about how much of a pathetic human being you are, but I figure I'll go one better, meet you out in that ring later tonight, and show all of these people 1st hand instead. There's an old saying that goes "More guts then brains". If you had a brain, you'd have stayed in your lil' Ninja Temple or wherever the hell you call home, rested up that gimp knee and collected your money. But instead, you get to get your ass handed to you by the X of WA.


Roach: Still as smug as ever, isn't he?

Buzz: Ya think?

X lowers his mic and waits to the inevitable response.

[King]

Suddenly the lights goes down something starts to show on the titian-tron. The camera focus on the screen texts begin to show.

He Will Be Reborn...
He Will Return...
Are You Ready?...
The Countdown Is On...
One Hour...

The then shows a countdown clock showing one hour, the screen then fades away and the lights come back, the camera then focus back on the two X-Gen competitors.

Buzz: What the hell was that?

Roach: I don't know.

[Sushi-X]

Sushi-X looks at the jumbotron then around the surrounding crowd. What was it a countdown to? His eyes refocused on the Rated X Superstar.

Buzz: What the hell's going on here tonight? First a video interrupts the boss, now one interrupts these two. Any chance they could be related?

Roach: I don't know, but we may not have long to wait. The countdown is on. But to what?


Oh, I'm sorry, were you saying something? Let me know when you're making a point.

The crowd oohs and aahs and points at the smug Lionel.

Oh, you were finished! Well, then, allow me to retort. Maybe I've made a fool out of myself, and maybe I haven't. Unlike you, I've stepped to the best this company has to offer. I've survived against gangsters, kings, monsters. And here I stand! What have you done? But I tell you what. Tonight, I make your punk ass famous. I ain't no cartoon. I ain't no gimp. And I ain't no victim.

Buzz: What is he thinking? He's not even cleared to fight tonight!

Roach: You sure about that? That's not what my sources told me earlier today.


Tonight, I show you who the true X-Man is in the XWA!

[x]

X finds himself fighting off outright laughing at Sushi's comments...but the urge was to strong.

HAAAAAAAAAAA!!! That's rich. No...seriously. That's the funniest thing I've ever heard in my life. You've survived Gangstas, Kings & Monsters? Last I checked, it was because of the Gangstas your ass is gimp right now, and it took you and 1 of those Gangstas COMBINED to beat Dru Nedermeyer. But yea, you wanna sike yourself up for beating a legend in a two on one contest, you go right ahead. Makes ya' look even more pathetic then that god awful outfit of yours, and that's sayin' something. You wanna talk about being in the ring with the best XWA has to offer? Try getting in the ring with the likes of Ethan Bain for the world title. Or better still, I'm STILL one of the only men in this business who had the heart to call out THE DESTROYER. When's the last time you called out one of the elite of the elite and went the distance, eh? Oh wait, you haven't. You can stand there and crack all the sophomoric jokes you want, my friend. The fact of the matter is the biggest joke of them all is your career. And when I slam dunk you on that overcooked chick pea you call a head, I'll be laughing that much more at ya.

[Sushi-X]

Since we're talking facts here, let's talk facts. My first opponent in this company was Dru Nedermayer. I went the distance with him. I had three matches with him... and I won two of them. You are not on his level, and you sure as hell ain't on mine. You know something? I could crack jokes on your punk ass all night, but these people obviously came here for a fight. And we'll see who the joke is.

[x]

Well will ya' look at that? Finally...FINALLY you say something that actually makes sense. You're absolutely right, I'm not on the level of Dru Nedermeyer. I'm not even close to his level...

I'm on a whole level on my own. One that's above and beyond anyone in XWA. My level is on frickin' high, I don't even talk about it on account that when I do, it flies over most simpletons heads. Simpletons like you.Now I could stand here and do this song and dance with you all night, Rainbow Roll...but us serious wrestlers prefer to do our talking in the ring. I know you've spent a lot of time the last few month in Medical Facilities, but tonight...I'm personally runnin' a clinic on how to beat a masked Jabroni five ways to Sunday. But don't worry, your insurance should cover all of the damages. Break a leg. *Heh heh heh heh heh*

With that said, X lowers his mic.

[Sushi-X]

Sushi-X couldn't wait to rush the ring and get his hands on the Rated X Superstar. He dropped the mic and ran through the crowd toward the ring.

Roach: I think Sushi-X's heard enough of this punk.

Buzz: But he makes a point, don't he? I mean, Xander had a match with the XWA champ last year. What's Sushi-X done? He went from hot commodity to nobody in one year.

Roach: Here we go! The fight is on!

Just as Sushi-X was about to jump the rail, XWA and arena security physically restrain the Chicago ninja.

XWA official: Easy! Easy! We settle things in the ring! Save it for the ring! Save it for the ring!

Bullshit! He ain't gonna punk me out like that! Get off me!

Roach: Sushi-X having to be restrained here! They could be heading for a collision course here tonight!

Buzz: Does this idiot value his career or what? He's not even officially cleared to compete and Lionel looks to put a hurting on him. I hope he puts you in your place Sushi!

Roach: And look at Xander! He's laughing at Sushi-X. He's gonna have to put his money where his mouth is tonight. And what about that countdown?

Buzz: What else is gonna happen here tonight?
