I Got Next (promo o2a)

[Sushi-X]

XWA's newest PPV, Ring Rage, was well underway, but one of its rising stars was just arriving. With travel bag in hand, Sushi-X was making his way to the catering area to get settled. This is the first time he was at an XWA event in person since the Three Stages of Hell match at Soul Survivor at his hometown of Chicago. He wasn't out of his car for more than twenty seconds, when XWA's #1 sideline reporter, Fabiola, approached him.
Sushi! Sushi-X! A moment of your time, please?

Sushi-X looked around and to his left was Fabiola with microphone and a cameraman.

Always got a minute for Fabiola! What's up?

I thought you were injured. Why are you here tonight?

The masked ninja raised an eyebrow towards Fab, though she couldn't see his facial expressions.

Yeah, that is true, but after intense rehab, I'm here to say, I'm back in the XWA!

The Charlotte crowd cheers for his slightly unexpected return.

That's awesome! But, what brings you to Ring Rage tonight?

Two reasons. First, I want to thank Overload GM Stan O'Malley for giving me my first championship opportunity since coming to this fine organization. As for that No Limits Championship match, I would like to issue a challenge to the winner at the next PPV, Only the Strong.

The Charlotte crowd erupts at the announcement.

That would be Bryan Yang or the man that replaced you at TNN, Kelon J.A.H.

Sweetie, the less mentioned about those idiots, the better. But, yes, I just want to make clear that I'm taking that belt from whoever wins that match tonight. And I will be at ringside watching the title match. X...got next!

What else brings you to Charlotte tonight, Sushi-X?

The masked man paused for a moment as the crowd chants for Sushi-X.

Well, my original intention was to just sit and enjoy the show. Rest a little more before coming back in a couple weeks. But I got an itch. Relax, Fab, not that kind of itch. The itch to get back in the ring. It's what I know. It's what I love. And since my wars with !!!JONNY PUNCH!!!, I have a fire, so to speak, to get in that ring and do what I love for these fans.

The crowd cheers once again out of respect for the masked ninja.

So who do you plan on fighting?

Fab, it doesn't matter. No Limits division or not. Overload or Takedown. Even that crap organization that's been running around lately talking about taking over. XCW or something like that. I'll fight anybody.

Just as he finished that sentence, someone within earshot turned around to address the masked ninja.

[buliwyf]

Bold words spoken from such a frail man.

~+The man in question was Takedown's newest Giant, The Viking Buliwyf. The top of Sushi-X's head just barely reached Buliwyf's midsection, as the size difference was staggering.+~

It is a challenge you seek tonight? I can say the same thing. Unfortunately, it seems I'll have to start "small" before I attain it. In my debut, I sought a worthy opponent, but instead got a wise cracking masked biker. A masked biker that I destroyed by every aspect of the word. So much so that he sought another opponent rather then get in the ring with me again. And now, I'll grant you the same destruction. You best course of action would have been to stay home and continue resting your injury. For as it stands now, your fate will be to find yourself crushed under boot.

Buzz: I don't think that's at alllllllllllllll what Sushi-X had in mind...

Sushi-X looked up at the giant Viking.

Lemme guess... you're one of the new guys around here. Bullet? Beowulf? Oh... Bullwhip. Bullwhip? Am I right? Am I close?

Sushi-X, future No Limits champion. Damn glad to meet you.

Let me explain something to you, son. I've beaten men bigger and more credible than you. And since I haven't seen you before, you must wrestle on the other show.

Sushi-X holds out his hand in hopes of a handshake. Buliwyf sneered and quickly refused.

Ok, I can respect that. Welcome to the man sandbox. Seeing as you're looking for a fight, I'll give you a fight. You will not be making a name off me. Instead, it will be you that is broken. Not me. I'll see you in the ring, Cool Whip.

Sushi-X grabs his bag and heads toward the locker room to prepare for his comeback match.
