Siva Tao (Punch)

[toa]

Vendetta returns to ringside, where a special segment was ready to begin. PA Announcer Gloria Canazaras opens things up.

Ladies and gentlemen, at this time we welcome Overload's Toa, and members of the Samoan National Rubgy Team, as they perform the Samoan War Dance, the Siva Tao.

Into the ring files in Toa and his fellow Samoan athletes, all dressed in traditional Samoan tribal attire. Toa begins.

Le Manu Samoae ua malo ona fai o le faiva,le manu samoae ia malu ona fai o le faiva!!!
(The warrior of Samoa, may you succeed in your mission!!!)

The others then follow the chant.

Le Manu Samoae ua malo ona fai o le faiva,le manu samoae ia malu ona fai o le faiva!!!

They then all take the starting stance of the war dance, and proceed to perform it.

Le Manu Samoae ua malo ona fai o le faiva,le manu samoae ia malu ona fai o le faiva
Le Manu Samoa lenei ua ou sau
Leai se isi Manu oi le atu laulau
Ua ou sau nei ma le mea atoa
O lou malosi ua atoatoa
Ia e faatafa ma e soso ese
Leaga o lenei manu e uiga ese
Le Manu Samoa
Le Manu Samoa
Le Manu Samoa e o mai I Samoa Le Manu!!!

(The warrior of Samoa, may you succeed in your mission
The warrior of Samoa, here I come
There is no other warrior anywhere
Here I come completely prepared
My strength is at its peak
Make way and move aside
Because this Manu is unique
The warrior of Samoa
The warrior of Samoa
The warrior of Samoa reigns from Samoa!!!)

With many Samoans in the crowd, they rise to there feet and cheer in pride for the sacred war dance of their people. Toa himself swelled with pride. But this moment of reflection would soon be interrupted abruptly by a certain XWA superstar.

The familiar entrance theme of the one and only !!!JONNY PUNCH!!! fills the arena. He steps out from backstage with a mic in one hand, and his trust Kendo stick in the other. Bring the mic up to his lips, Punch zeros in on Toa and lays down the law.

I don't have a friggin' clue what the hell that all meant, but it looked cool. I'll tell ya' what's not been cool, though. The ass kickins' I've been on the other side of the last two shows at your hand. I knew from the jump that you were a tough out, but I didn't expect you to be as tough as you have been.

Shame on me.

He rubs his chin before continuing.

You've got this whole "warrior" thing goin', and yes...you've beat my ass two times already. But how 'bout we check that warrior pedigree of yours and see what it's really made of. If you're as bad a man as you think you are, step in the ring with me tonight and fight me on my terms. We might not have spears or shields to use, but I think Kendo sticks and steel chairs can serve as a pretty decent substitute. Unless of course you think throwin' some toys into the mix will affect your chances of a 3-peat. I can totally understand if you're a lil'...you know...SCURRED of the idea.

Punch grins and waits for Toa's response.

After securing the mic from Gloria, Toa leers up to the stage and responds to the challenge.

You actually think that adding weapons to the mix will up your chances to beat me? *Hmmmph* Not only will I face you "on your terms" Punch, I'll BEAT you on your terms. And when I do, there will be no doubt in anyone's mind, especially yours...that I'm better then you in every possible way.

Scowling as usual, he waits for Punch's reaction.

[punch]

Still grinning ear to ear, Punch polishes things off with a closing remark.

You're damn sure better then me at that lil' dance of yours. I can barely do the runnin' man let alone all those fancy steps and stuff you boys just did. But there ain't a man alive better then me at what I do best. And you get to find that fact out 1st hand, in that ring. I'm glad your the kinda' guy who likes to bang, Toa. Cuz we're gonna bang tonight, big fella. And when the noise has stopped, we'll see which one of us is still standin', BRUTHA!

Punch's music his the PA once again. In classic Punchy fashion, he holds the Kendo stick in the air, met by cheers from the fans. Would he get a chance to redeem himself? Or would the overwhelming power of Toa again prove to be to much for him to whether?

Tony: Toa steps into Punchy's Playground. A place not many men has been successful against him in.

Travis: But you have to realize that Toa's no ordinary man. The Samoan Monster is exactly that, a monster. We've seen what he's done to Punch with his bare hands. Now to add weapons to the mix? You've gotta question Punch's mental stability make this challenge.

Tony: There's always a method to Punch's madness, Travis. But one thing is for damn sure, this one's not going to be for the weak of heart.

A video segment highlighting the upcoming XWA events would follow.
