{The camera starts up and we suddenly are shown around a mansion somewhere in Calabasas California as we close in on the backyard area where we see a Japanese man lounging by the pool with a huge smile on his face as he looks over at the camera and motions for it to come closer}
Man: HELLO!!! HELLO!!! My name is Vergil Urahara and welcome to one of my many homes! Now please, fans of Project Honor, don't think that I invited you to come here to my home for me to brag about how rich or successful I am or any of that slock because I'm honestly not.
Quite the countary, I'm a man who likes to enjoy himself and be comfortable and if you're not being comfortable then you're not doing something right now are you?!
And that brings me to why House Urahara is taking a part of the Collision Course pay per view as reps for Pro Wrestling Nova and why with a team that nobody has even heard about let alone why you should give two shits about?
{Vergil does the "one moment" gesture before he reaches over and takes a long pull from a rather sizeable glass of Pina Colada and then sets it right back down on the table}
Vergil: Because PWN is all about creating fresher and newer mayhem to which sure enough is enough to pull me into the fray and with the Phantom Troupe, a team composed of two of the hottest young rookies yet to make their mark anywhere which I have found and now, I want them to make their marks starting here in Project Honor.
Why?
Because why the fuck not, that's why!
I mean look at the Troupe. On one hand you have Kyle Valentine, one of the hottest talents to be trained at the Apocalypse Academy. He's a junior heavyweight that can hit with the raw power of a heavyweight and Gamma Pro Wrestling's loss is mine and Project Honor's gain! He's got more than enough raw, untapped skill combined with the desire to prove himself in his first match anywhere and that'll be at Collision Course!
Now, his tag team partner is the "Elegant Assassin" himself in DJ Hunter. A man who's wrestling style has been equated to your pet hamster being fed a full bottle of UberMonster.
You know, the discontinued type of Monster Energy drink which it actually said on the freaking can itself that it was only safe to drink *ONE* can a *DAY* of the shit for the sake of your heart going so fast that it would fucking fart and DIE on you?
Yeah...now imagine giving your lovely pet hamster one of those and let your own twisted little minds do the walking as to what would happen next, ya?
DJ is perhaps the smallest and lightest dog in this fight at Collision Course and yet, I've chosen the two of them to rep House Urahara *AND* Pro Wrestling Nova at Collision Course..but don't just take my word for it...
{The camera does a hard cut from the poolside area to the brightly semi-darkness of the Shibuya district of Tokyo Japan where we find both halves of the Phantom Troupe in Kyle Valentine and DJ Hunter standing both to a side of the famous Hachiko Statue that stands in front of the Shibuya station there. DJ has a pair of old school or "steampunk" style aviator goggles on his forehead while Kyle looks around, enjoying the sights more than anything}
DJ: HELL...O, PROJECT HONOR!! You must forgive my partner as this is his first time in Japan and he’s been enjoying himself to no end, right Kyle?
{Kyle simply nods in agreement for the moment but otherwise stays quite}
DJ: But as much as it has been good to visit Japan once again, I'm even more thrilled to be here as one half of most exciting newest duos in professional wrestling in the Phantom Troupe and you'll forgive me if I'm not all doom and gloom, but when you're given a chance to highlight what your new squad can do on a major pay per view like Project Honor's Collision Course, well then you really can't fault me now can you?
I mean look at the level of talent that's right in front of our face in the very first round of this tournament. We've pulled the Brothers of Balance in Konrad and Lord Raab. Now I will freely admit that I don't know much about these two guys is that they have accomplished a lot in their careers thus far and that Lord Raab is a big arrogant bastard because of it.
Well gentlemen, you’re both big and talented in that ring I’ll give you that much but that means very little for myself and Kyle because while you two stand like two unimpressive examples of modern art garbage, it won’t stop the kind of raw energy and unadulterated talent that we have, because if there is anything that’s taught at the Academy, that’s the bigger the bastard means harder the strike.
Kyle: Now all that bravado aside, Raab brothers. We get the fact that we're quite possibly the youngest team to be in this fight and to be completely honest, we don't give two shits about it because while you might be big names elsewhere, we're going to make our bones right here in Project Honor and walk out as your new Project Honor World Tag Team champions.
There is no simple way of getting around it because the proof is in the pudding, especially when you take in the fact that I didn't come here to loose in my debut anywhere. It's bad enough that I've had to wait this long because Gamma Pro Wrestling went under mere days before I could make my long awaited debut...but if the two of you are going to just waltz in here and toss me a loss on day one...I'm afraid that dog don't hunt, seymour.
Since the very first day that I watched my older brother start on his path to become a professional wrestler, I wanted to do exactly the same thing and while he was blessed with all of the gifts needed to make his way perfectly in that he has an incredible mind for the sport and he is innovative as all fuck, I had to make due on something a little bit more bankable and that was raw, untapped skill and look at me now.
{Kyle motions at the camera to take in a full shot of the younger wrestler}
Kyle: I am six feet two, two hundred and thirty eight pounds of rough and ready ferocity wrapped up in the passionate fury of youth. I’ve been working the indy scene as a way of keeping my edge sharp and at Collision Course, it won’t matter if it’s the Brothers of Balance or SHINIGAMI NO TENSEI, JÖRMUNGANDR, or the Rulers of the Underground-the Troupe is ready to come out and perform at a level that nobody else here can touch.
We have this level of confidence because we have what it takes on every level to bust our asses to get the job done while all of you other teams are just here to collect another paycheck and try to lay claim to another title, right?
DJ: My partner here is right, here we have only a few scant days left and we've yet to see any of the furious passion that goes into cutting promos or even making a deal out of showing up for an event like this on pay per view. I mean hell, if given half of a chance I bet that the Indy Darling would be here cutting some kind of promo about how weak the field looks or some shit like that.
And to tell the truth, we waited. We waited to cut promo one because we wanted to see what the field was going to be like for this thing and instead of hearing the roar of the crowds to the various reactions of the teams involved in this match...we hear nothing but cold, unrelenting silence.
I mean Kyle here has had enough time waiting for you all to cut promos that he's made two complete trips to Tokyo's Akihabara district and hit up the Suruga-ya Akihabara Shop Anime Hobby Pavillion and the Gamers Main Store and dropped enough Yen to make any true gamer cry!
However, by telling you all that highlights just how long we’ve been right here, in Japan! Ready and spoiling for a fight that we all know is coming because this match is not some kind of poor joke in some other places, we’re the freaking guests here and we are taking this company’s tag titles just as freaking seriously as if they were the Pro Wrestling Nova world tag straps!!
Brothers of Balance, normally we’re a lot more friendly and we’re more than willing to joke around before cutting into the main promo...but you've already taken out all of the fun from us and forced us to cut right to the heart of things.
I mean it’s not everyday that Kyle is able to find entire arcade machines for sale and at good prices too!
And he was going to be so kind as to show his findings with you and the rest of the Phantom Nation, but instead you just had to go and kill all of the potential fun, now didn’t ya!
{Kyle slowly shakes his head in a mock-sad kind of way before he snaps his fingers}
Kyle: Kyle: Jörmungandr, while some people around here in Project Honor like King Havoc might not have any true idea as to the legacy behind the name that you've chosen, but I know better.
I know that Jörmungandr is known as the Migard Serpent or the World Serpent and was the middle child of Loki and the giantess Angrboða...but the question here is why do the two of you feel such a connection to a creature that has no real beginning nor end, I can honor and show respect to those who want to honor their own cultural identity don't get me wrong...but if you simply chose that particular name because it's big and scary like the two of you preport to be, then the final joke will be on you boys because we didn't come here to play live action FNAF, but to win the tag straps.
Now we come to you...the Shogunate.
You know I honestly thought that my first encounter with King Havoc would come later on in my career, when I've gotten a little bit under my belt but color me surprised when I learned that you and your partner would be possibly two of the wrestlers that myself and DJ would have to face off against during Collision Course, Havoc?
DJ and I carry the name of the Phantom Troupe because Mister Urahara felt that it was dishonored by the way it was just cast aside by those jokers in the Dynasty as the Phantom Troupe was something worthy and they set the fucking bar over in Strong Style Wrestling before that blood feud between Aria and Darkane spoiled over into the rest of the Troupe.
You're spending too much time looking up at the ivory tower that is Arata Asakura's free floating ego that you can't even begin to realize that reality that these two "rookies with zero talent" might be the ones that show you up and throw you up against the wall for a very public execution...or was that beyond you line of conscious thought when you were sniffing the vapors, Havoc?
When I started my path here in professional wrestling, one of the people that I wanted to honor was you because you were one of the very few wrestlers that I knew that could set the standard so to speak and that means I've got to tear through an idol just to prove my own damned point, then I'll show you that the madness that runs through my veins...is only blood deep.
DJ: As for the two of you supposedly devouring our souls, I'm fully with my partner in that you need to cut back on the vapors there Havoc because the only things that will be devoured is you and Asakura's chances at becoming the new tag team champions here in Project Honor.
It's a "shame", Havoc? It's not a shame when you help to light the fire that enables the two "talentless rookies with chips on their shoulders" to come out of the woodwork and outshine two fools who love to play kingmaker.
As for everyone else in this tournament, it's far past time for you all to stand up and take charge of what you really could do at this event because the Phantom Troupe is here to showcase what not only we can as two separate souls but also as a dastardly duo!
{The screen then fades to black}
