A Japanese Cutting Edge with Special Guest: Vampiro X

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

Abyss and Matt Morgan are already in the ring.

Tazz: We got roids and lard in the ring.

Joey: That was a low blow.

The fans start to throw trash at Morgan and Abyss.

Tazz: I got a chant for you. OOOOOOOOOOH! ABITCH!

*The fans actually hear Tazz say that and start that chant as Abyss starts to panic*

Joey: That's entertaining surprisingly.

*Diary of Jane soon starts to play as the fans explode into cheers in Japan*

Joey: This is our first appearance in Japan and they're acting like we've been here a hundred times!

*The GM comes out wearing sunglasses which he takes off slowly to reveal his glare from his brown eyes; a leather jacket, and some black jeans. He walks to the ring and jumps on the apron, taking off the jacket, waiting for his partner*

Joey: This will be an absolute honor to call a match involving the GM's partner...I won't say anything more.

*Ultimo Dragon's WWE music hits and the fans just give this man one of the loudest pops in XWA history*

Tazz: This dude is one of the most agile men in history. Fuck Sabu, Dragon is much more innovative than Sabu ever was...unless you call botching innovation.

*Dragon slides into the ring as the GM jumps over the top rope and they both duel dropkick Morgan and Abyss*

Joey: They just chopped down the big red woods already.

*Morgan and Abyss start to get up, but the GM jumps up on Abyss's shoulders and then jumps again to do a Hurricarana as Dragon spin kicks Morgan in the gut*

Tazz: Look at them go to work.

*The GM applys the sharpshooter on Abyss as Morgan receives the Asai DDT from Dragon. Dragon pins Morgan 1-2-3 as Abyss taps out.*

Joey: What a quick victory.

The GM, who has yet to smile glances over at Dragon, and then slides out of the ring as Dragon poses for the crowd.

Tazz: I guess the GM may be letting Dragon have his moment.

Joey: I don't know Tazz, there has been something that's been...off about him for the last couple weeks.

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

*Shark Boy is already in the ring*

Joey: I don't think Shark is on the menu in Japan, but Sushi is!

Tazz: Sushi isn't that good...just ask Raven.

*Rhino runs down to the ring as his music plays*

Joey: Here comes the man beast.

*Rhino slides under the ropes and then GORES Sharkboy and pins him 1-2-3*

Joey: Good God.

Tazz: Rhino is an animal.

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

*Rhino leaves up the ramp, flipping the Japanese fans the bird as the fans boo and exits*

Joey: What an ass.

Tazz: He must be mad that the food here sucks.

*Justin Credible then runs down*

Justin Credible: For the past few months, I have not even been booked here and I've been here since the formation of XWA!

*The fans chant 'Boring' toward Justin Credible*

Tazz: I should've brought the pillow and the nightlight for you, Joey.

Justin: Shut up!

*Come out and Play by Offspring starts to play as the fans go completely insane*

Joey: Oh my God.

Tazz: No way.

*RaVen appears on the ramp and does his pose there as the fans go ballistic*

Joey: He's here!? RaVen's here!?

*RaVen walks down to the ring*

Justin: What the hell are you doing here!?

*RaVen snatches the mic*

RaVen: To send you back to Olive Garden, botching salads instead of wrestling moves.

*RaVen knee lifts Credible down to thunderous cheers, and then waits for Credible to get up. He stumbles up, and then DDTs Credible to hell with his Raven Effect version of the move!*

Joey: Good night, Justin.

*Come out and Play goes on the PA again as RaVen soaks in the applause from the crowd as XWA goes into commercial*

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

Rikshi, and AMW are already in the ring.

*RVD's music plays as the trio of Benjamin, Richards, and Van Dam hit the ring*

Joey: It's more of a traditional thing to enter together in Japan.

*Chris Harris trys to attack Stevie Richards, but he gets superkicked and pinned to eliminate Harris already*

Tazz: Good God, we already have an elimination.

*James Storm runs in to try to superkick Richards, but Benjamin T-Bones Storm for the 1-2-3*

Joey: That's two for two.

*Rikishi slowly walks down but RVD springs off the top rope and kicks Rikishi in the face, and then a moonsault splash to the big man for the 1-2-3*

Joey: Oh my God...a sweep.

Tazz: I think RVD is ready for Hell in a Cell, and Benjamin's ready to defend his TV title.

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

*Santino's music hits as he and Beth appear on the ramp as the Japan crowd boos*


Joey: Santino and Beth are two of XWA's newest stars, I understand they are on their way to the ring to talk about their debut.


*Santino waves to the fans as Beth enters the ring with Santino behind her as he is handed a mic*



Santino: Last week, we made our debut here in the XWA, and he made-a big impacts. The Glamazon broke Candice Mitchell's shoulder, while I opened a can of the ass whip on that one legged cripple, Zachary Gown.


Joey: I think he meant Gowen.


Santino: But, that was just the beginning. You-a see, were are here to introduce you all to our newest ally. He-a is a big force here in the XWA, let us not a waste anymore times. This is our newest ally, The Red Barron!!!!


Tazz: Red Barron?


*Beth talks into Santino's ear*


Santino: I mean, Zane Barron!!!


*Bruises by Unloco hits the PA as Zane makes his way to the ring*


Tazz: The former "B" Team leader of the Dead Pool is now teaming with Santino.


*Zane gets in the ring and shakes hands with Santino*


Santino: Now, that we have a new friend, listen up Japan, this state is so trashy, I mean, you don't have-a any Italian people in this dump. Lucky for yous, I am here, and I will wrestle right now, with Zane Barron, against anyone in the lockerrooms. So, who is gonna fight us?


Joey: Who will accept the open challenge?


*Funaki's music begins to play as the Japan crowd pops huge for their hometown hero*


Tazz: It looks like Funaki is going to accept the challenge.


Santino: Hold it right-a there Phonaki, you-a don't have a partner to face us. Surely, you know how to count to two right?


*The crowd boos loudly as Funaki brings the mic to his lips*


Funaki: Well, I am sure there is someone in the back who will team up with me.


Santino: I am sure of-a it. The Rice King is too busy to team with you Terriyaki.



*The lights go out*


Tazz: You don't think.


ALL HAIL THE DARK LORD!!!!! HE IS COMING!!!






*Suck It Up by Hed p.e. hits the P.A. as the lights come back on and smoke empties onto the entrance ramp. Out through the smoke emerges The Dark Lord, decked in a Black and white Dark Knight shirt as the Japanese crowd cheers him loudly.*


Lillian: Introducing the partner, from Toronto, Ontario Canada, weighing in at 215 pounds, The Dark Lord, Raven!!!!


*Raven stops in the middle of the ramp and looks at both sides of the crowd behind the barricade, he looks up to the rafters and raises his hands to form the devil horns as a barrage of pyro goes off behind him. He lowers his hands and gets an arrogant smirk on his face and he continues to walk down the ramp*



Joey: It looks like Raven will be teaming with Funaki to face his old ally Zane and Santino.


*Raven rushes down the bottom of the ramp and slides into the ring, as he looks up at Funaki, he grins at him, Raven gets himself off the canvas and goes to the opposite corner, he looks out into the crowd who continue to cheer him as he raises his arms to form the Devil Horns again, as a bunch of pyro goes off and around the rafters*



Tazz: This is Epic, Raven teaming with Funaki, it will be off the charts.



*Raven gets down from the ropes and turns to Funaki and shakes his hand as the bell sounds*



Joey: Looks like Funaki will start the match against Santino.


*The Japanese fans chant for Funaki in their native language*


Tazz: Looks like the fans are behind Funaki.


*Santino and Funaki tie up in the center of the ring as Santino gets Funaki in a side headlock and flips him onto the mat&


Joey: Nice technical showing by Funaki.


*With Funaki on the mat, Santino slaps him across the back of the head as the crowd boos loudly*


Tazz: I love this guy.


*Santino pulls Funaki to the corner and tags in Zane*


Tazz: The former B Team Leader is putting the boots to Funaki.


*Zane props Funaki up and delivers a knife edge chop, as the crowd woooo's*


Joey: Funaki is in bad shape, he needs to tag in Raven.


*Zane gets Funaki out the corner and whips him across the ropes and hits a hige back elbow to the face*


Tazz: Funaki is taking a lot of punishment.


*On the mat Zane goes for a cover, but gets a quick two. He grabs the chin of Funaki and gets him in a rear chinlock.*



Tazz: Nice submission skills, Funaki is in bad shape.


*Zane applies more pressure as the Japanese fans will Funaki on*


Joey: The fans are trying to get Funaki up.


Tazz: Looks like it is working too.

*Funaki gets to a vertical base, and elbows Zane in the midsection, causing Zane to break the grip. With Zane stunned, Funaki hooks his head and drops him with a quick DDT.*



Joey: What impact. Can Funaki make the tag to Raven?


*Raven stretches out his hand as Funaki begins to crawl towards him as Zane gets the tag to Santino*


Tazz: Here comes Santino.


*Santino grabs Funaki by the boot and begins to drag him back to their corner*


Joey: Not looking good.


*Funaki balances himself and hits Santino with an enziguri, sending him back down to the mat*


Tazz: What a shot.


*Funaki leaps for the corner and tags in Raven as the crowd cheers loudly*


Tazz: Here comes my main man, The Dark Lord.

Joey: Will he actually help out Funaki?


*Raven runs over to Zane and knocks him off the apron*


Tazz: Thanks for coming.


*As Santino slowly tries to get up, Raven stalks to the corner and crouches down as the Japanese fans cheer loudly, knowing what is about to happen*


Tazz: Dark Assassin time Joey.

Joey: It's got to be over.

[The Messiah of Human Torture]

*Back from commercials Raven and Funaki are celebrating their win as Santino grabs another microphone*


Santino: Listen here Lord Dark, you had-a no business coming out to this-a ring, and a ruining the knocker slobber that Foolnaki had-a coming to him. Mark-a my words Tunaki, Glamarella and Zane will beat up you later.


*Raven smirks as Glamarella and Zane retreat up the ramp*


Tazz: Those guys should just quit while they are ahead.


Joey: Yes, Raven is the last man they want to upset.


*Funaki picks up the mic and begins to address his hometown fans*

(Hello japan! It was an honor to be in my home county tonight, in front of you all. It was an even bigger honor teaming with Raven, thank you for helping me out tonight, and giving my hometown fans a great show.)



*Raven looks out into the crowd as they cheer him loudly, as he motions for Funaki to give him the microphone*


Raven: It was an honor to wrestle here in Japan. These fans are some of the most respectful fans I have ever been in front of in my life, and I am grateful to have this memory. For that, I thank you Funaki.


*Raven holds out his hand as he and Funaki shake hands as the Japan crowd cheers loudly*


Raven: You know, being here in Japan, I learned a lot about your wrestling history. I learned how you have some of the most athletic wrestlers in history. Such a great blend of technical skills, agiliy, power, and high flying.


*As Raven says the last style, his face begins to darken a bit*


Joey: What happened?


Raven: Then it hit me, this place is nothing but a Circus!!!


*Raven gets the manic grin on his face as the crowd boos loudly*

Raven: You people actually want to be taken seriously, but, all you have to show for it, is show stupid flip moves. Give me a break.


*Funaki having enough of what Raven said, taps him on the arm*


Raven: You going to do something Funaki? Did you get upset that I dissed your heritage? Well then, let me apologize it.


*Raven looks into the crowd, then looks at the canvas, and quickly grabs Funaki's head and drives him to the mat with the Chaos Theory*


Raven: That is what I think about your wrestling history, and that is what I think about you Funaki! Let this be a lesson to you all, I will kill the high flying style, and I will go through each and every one of you to accomplish my mission.


*Raven grins darkly as the crowd boos him loudly*


Joey: Raven has snapped again.


Raven: You people don't like it, how about I come out there and beat some respect into you. Would you like that?


*Raven drops the mic and is about to exit the ring as the lights go out*


Tazz: What is this?


* A slow somber gothic retread note is heard as the titontron fades back as static is shown upon it.*



Joey: Who is doing this?


*The tron fades from the static as the music is replaced by a soft feminine voice*



??: Free From The Sun. In The Dark I Am None.


*The tron shows a quick image of a doll's face, with the eyes missing and a black X in the middle of her forhead as the voice continues*


??: Though My Heart Sinks Like That One, I Am Told.


*A single candle is shown as a dark hand cover the flame as it's put out*


??: Now I'm Something, And Your Head Is In My Closet.
Dead Forever, They'll Never Search It...


*As the final word is spoken the word "Remember" is seen in Blood Red as it drips down the tron as the tron turns blank again*



Tazz: What just happened?


Joey: I have no idea.


* The lights turn back on and Raven is shown in the middle of the ring, the dark blank stare on his face as he is facing the tron.*


Tazz: You think he knows what that was about?


*As Raven is slowly about to leave the ring, 311's "Down" hits the PA and Tim runs down the ramp and charges over to the announce table and stands on top of a glass table as he begins to talk.*


Tim: Raven, you jerk, you are killing all the high flyers, why don't you pick on someone your own size?


Tazz: I really don't think it's in his best interest to anger Raven right now.


Tim: Hey, I am talking to you. I didn't forget that you cost my a shot at being in XWA, and I want my revenge damnit!!!


*Raven turns to Tim and blankly looks at him as he rolls out of the ring and heads over to the table*


Joey: Looks like Tim got his wish.


Tazz: Yeah, a death wish.



Tim: Come on Raven, do something.


*Raven looks at the ground, then up at Tim on the table*


Tim: I am right here tough guy.


*Tim nudges Raven in the back as Raven's head snaps up and he yanks Tim down and drives him through the glass table with a Chaos Theory*


Tazz: Tim is dead again!!!


Joey: OH MY GOD!!! Raven is paranoid.


*Raven gazes down at Tim, a faint smile forms at the corner of his mouth as he begins to walk up the ramp. As he gets to the middle of the ramp, the titontron once again flashes the word "Remember" in blood red as it drips down the tron as it returns to normal. Raven looks up to see this, and quickly hurries up the ramp and dissapears backstage*


Tazz: What does this all mean?

Joey: We will find out in time.



Winners via Pinfall: Raven and Funaki (7:00)
