As the crowd awaited what was to come next on what was becoming a pivotal PPV, The new entrance theme for the most successful Junior Heavyweight in XWA to date plays. The Toronto fans hiss and boo as Brian Yang steps out from backstage, a smug smirk on his face as he does. He makes his way down to the ring, exchanging his usual pleasantries with the front row fans as he does. Sliding into the ring, Yang calls for a mic, and makes it pretty clear why he was out in the ring.
I want to share with you all something I've figured out. Something that when I tell it to you all, you'll see as clear as day. And that's the similarities between the two men I helped Romeo Davis utterly destroy last week, Sushi-X and Kyle Nobbs. Both men are what you'd call "career underdogs". When they made there respective debuts in wrestling, no one really paid attention. Some people even considered them to be here today, gone tomorrow wrestlers. Place holders as we call in them in the biz. They're both undersized, even for their weight class. They're both not exactly what you'd call ring savvy. And they both have made their careers by riding the coat tails of other superstars. We all know of Sushi-X's past, so I won't even go into that one. And to those of you not all that educated on the career of Kyle Nobbs, let's just say that the guy has never once in his career stood on his own two feet. Whether it was teaming up with Lucas Styles as Silent Scream in VWE, Being on of Chris Lionheart's "go to" guys in the old TNB, or being Dru Nedermeyer's "Lil' Buddy" in LXW, only now...2010, has he even begun to carve out an identity for himself that doesn't involve being someone else's second string. But there's one more thing both of them have in common...
...and that's the fact that the worst beatings of their careers have been at my hands.
Yang smirks as the fans boo. Reveling in it, he continues.
Let's go back to 2009. Riding the longest title reign in XWA history, I find myself put against Sushi-X for the mere fact that he believe it or not was the only person left in the No Limits Division among the Juniors I hadn't beaten yet, and Stan O'Malley decided to throw him a bone for of all things, getting his ass handed to him by Jonny Punch. And what do I do? I beat his ass not once, not twice, but three times in a row. The third time being title defense number twelve for me. For all intents and purposes, that should have been the end of the line, and O'Malley and Gallas should have worked on getting me a REAL opponent, like Aki-San on someone. But no no no, Stan being the sorry sack of GM he is, gives Sushi-X another shot at my title. A shot everyone damn well knows he shouldn't have gotten, and he pulls off the biggest fluke in professional wrestling history. And last week, I proved that him beating me at XGames IV was indeed a fluke. Sushi-X isn't good enough to beat me. Never has been, never will be. The very fact that he has my belt still is a formality of a GM who loves charity cases, because his own career was a charity case.
Now, let's go back a little more recently. Last month at Vendetta. Kyle Nobbs decided he wanted to be Mr. Hero, and stick his nose where it didn't belong. He wanted to try and make a statement by standing up to the big, bad dragon. And that led to us partaking in a Triple Threat match with that Dice K dude. A match that...well...let me just refresh everyone's memory a bit.
Video footage of the match rolls on the Jumbotron. It shows Yang connecting with his signature Dragon's Tail kick, knocking Nobbs unconscious.
That should ring a few bells, because I know it rang every bell in Nobbs' head. *Heh heh* And that leads to the fact that much like Sushi-X, Nobbsy...you're not, nor will you ever be...good enough to beat me. It could have just as easily been you I put to bed last week. But to compensate for it, I'll put you to sleep again tonight. You've got a real nasty habit of sticking your nose into business that doesn't involve you Nobbs. And tonight, just like the last time we met in this ring, that habit is about to cause you some serious bodily harm.
Yang lowers his mic, anticipating the arrival of Kyle Nobbs.
