On this special night in Tokyo, "Wild Thing" James Bowen came out to "Crazy Nights" by the legendary Japanese metal band, Loudness. The Japanese fans knew of him from his tours of Japan, in both wrestling and music.
James (speaking in Japanese): How are you doing, Tokyo? It's been a long time, but I'm back. The one thing I love about you guys is your style of wrestling. I learned the Strong Style, the King's Road style, and the Young Lions style. It helped me adapt into a great gaijin talent I am today. Thank you very much.
The fans cheered and clapped.
James (speaking in Japanese): Here in the XWA, my main goal is to be the XWA No Limits champion. Since I'm here in Tokyo, I want to challenge any Japanese talent on the XWA roster to a friendly contest. If you want to accept, it would be an honor.
James bowed, as he waited.

The the surprise of everyone in the arena, it'd be the entrance theme of the No Limits Champion himself, Brian Yang that would play. Yang stands at the stage glaring down to the ring at Bowen with a look of contempt on his face. With the mic he had in hand already, Yang speaks.
Ya' know something, James? I pity you. I really do. I pity the fact that you stand in that ring, playing to all of these fans like you're some sort of conquering hero. Speaking to them in the native language. Well you're not the only person who passed through this country in their career. In fact, before landing in XWA, I spent two years wrestling here in Japan. And you wanna know what I think of that experience? It was professionally one of the worst two years in my life. And why is that you ask? Simple.
It's because I'm Chinese, not Japanese. And the Japanese are racists to people from China.
Boos start to come from the crowd at Yang's outlandish statement.
Oh please. Don't act like it's not true. You people hate the Chinese. Well guess what? The feeling's mutual. I'm Chinese American, born and raise in New York City, so you can imagine the crap I caught. But look at me now, eh? No Limits Champion. Now I've been subjected to listening to you ramble on and on about how "you wanna be No Limits Champion, BLAH BLAH BLAH". And quite frankly, I'm sick of it. Do you really think you're even on my level, Bowen? I've defeated guys who can wrestle better in their sleep with hangovers then you, and you actually want a piece of me? You want MY title? And let me re-state that for you seeing as all that 80's Hair Metal has probably messed your hearing up over the years...MY TITLE. You're in luck then, James. Because I'm looking for another victim tonight, and I'm about fed up with your cackling about wanting to be No Limits Champion. So tonight, you'll get your shot. A No Limits Title match, so that I can ceremoniously kick your ass, and send you where you belong...the back of the line.
Tony: That's not even called for. With every win this guy gets even more brazen and out of line.
Willy: Can ya' blame him? It's not like he hasn't backed it up.

James: You know what, Bryan, there's an old saying: when an opportunity presents itself, take it. You're on tonight, dude. If I win, you'll see the NEW No Limits champion. If I lose, fine, I'll just work harder to get another shot.
Tony: Well said, James.
Willy: No disrespect from James at all; I wish there's more talent like him.

Yang raises his mic for his reply.
I like that. Don't psyche yourself up to high so that when you essentially fail, it doesn't hurt as badly. Smart call. Because you are...going to fail, James. I'm not giving you this title shot because I think you're a threat to my title. I'm giving it to you because the Overload roster needs an example made. An example that I am the No Limits Champion, and NO ONE is going to change that. Not you, not anyone who thinks they can get in the ring and compete on the same level as me, cuz no one can. The last thing I'm gonna do is lose to a damn boy scout. The only thing gettin' rocked tonight, is your skull when I kick it off your neck. Best of luck to ya', gramps.
Yang's music cues over the PA once more. With a smirk on his face, he takes a step back to leave the stage.
