The announcer announces out..
"Coming in at six feet and one inch tall, straight from heaven...
The "Hooooolllyyy Rooolllleerrr" Archangel!!"
Be still, my soul; the Lord is on thy side;
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul; thy best, thy heavenly, Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
No flashing lights and no video played for him on the titatron, as The Archangel strode out onto the stage, donning a large wide smile, showing off his pearly whites. He went from one end of the stage to the other, on each side he would make an "X" on his chest with his arms, and point out to the crowd, nodding.
Be still, my soul; thy God doth undertake
To guide the future as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence, let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul; the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
No pryotechnics went off as he began to make his way down the ramp and that didn't seem to stop the crowd from cheering loudly, as he handed his shades over to the first fan that he reached. He slapped hands with fans, going from one side of the ramp to the other, and once he had reached the end of the ramp, The Archangel sprinted toward the ring.
Be still, my soul, though dearest friends depart
And all is darkened in the vale of tears;
Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart,
Who comes to soothe thy sorrows and thy fears.
Be still, my soul; thy Jesus can repay
From His own fulness all He takes away.
Not bothering to go up the steel steps, he simply slid in the ring, he headed straight to the far left turnbuckle. Stepping up to the second rope, he made an "X" again onto his chest with his arms and this time pointed out with both arms, out to the vast crowd of fans. This time he didn't just nod his head, he would yell out "This is for you!!". Unfortunately, only the first few rows of fans might have heard him through the roar of the crowd, but the rest of the fans had a pretty good idea of what he was saying and responded their thanks in cheers. He repeated this going counter clockwise on each turnbuckle.
Be still, my soul; the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord,
When disappointment, grief, and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul; when change and tears are past,
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last.
After he finished playing to the crowd, he kneeled down in the center of the ring and made a short prayer. Then he pulled off his blue t-shirt and eager to show his worth, he tossed the shirt outside of the ring, toward any random official to hold for him until after his match.

Time to DIE! . . That perfect WORLD!
tsukiakari no shita de . .
( Under the moonlight . . )
Let's BREAK the SPINE!
. . yakusoku o kawashita.
( . . we exchanged vows. )
[ And his opponent, from Yokosuka, Japan by way of Venice Beach, California . . ]
[ The Sexy Strong Stylist . . RYUU SAKAMOTO!! ]
=======
:: ACID's "0:00 AM" hit the speakers with its electrifying guitars as The Sexy Strong Stylist bounced and galloped his way on out to the stage. Grinning ever-so flirtaciously, he'd move down a bit from the stage, and take his mark at the center. Motioning his hands across his pelvic area .. Ryuu would thrust his left fist up in a GUTS POSE before himself, a large blast of pyrotechnics would rocket into the sky behind him! Moving on down the ramp, he enthusiastically tagged hands with fans along the way before reaching ringside. Pulling himself onto the apron, Ryuu slid himself onto the middle rope and reclined back, undoing the tie around his neck. Ducking completely into the ring, Sakamoto spun around once, removing the tie from around his neck and tossing it into the crowd! Pointing out around the audience, he'd raise his hands and clap them a few times overhead, getting the crowd fired up as he backed up to an unoccupied corner .. letting his music die down. The bell was about to ring. ::

The bell rang and Archangel stepped forward and extended his hand out for a respective handshake. If the handshake is accepted and no dirty moves were made, Angel would take a step back and go for a tie-up.

:: Ryuu extended his hand briefly to shake with Archangel before stepping back, eyes narrowed and intent on the opponent. Ryuu had something to prove, as AGAIN, he had to work his way back to the World Championship that he had never lost .. TWICE. Circling up with Archangel .. Ryuu's fingers wriggled, stopping in his circling, before snapping forward, attempting to lock up with the opponent. ::

Archangel tried to bring Ryuu's head in quickly to his side, in an attempt to get an early advantage with a headlock!

:: Grimacing as the headlock was wrapped around his skull, Ryuu in turn try to press his steps forward, looking to put him against the ropes. If successful, Ryuu would now attempt to shove Archangel forward into the opposite set of ropes across the ring! ::

Step. Step, step. Step, step, step.
One after the other and faster with each step, Ryuu got Angel to the ropes and bounded Angel off and out the grip shoving Angel to the opposite set of ropes, in which Archangel rebounded off those and came running back.

:: Trying to cut off the amount of time Archangel would have to mount a counter, Ryuu ran up to meet him about half way, attempting leap up and brand the back of his leg across the opponent's leg with a Leaping Calf Kick! ::

A bit unexpected, but it did the trick for Ryuu as the Leaping Calf Kick sent Archangel into a backflip and landed on his stomach!

Archangel tried to wiggle free from the Lateral Press and attempt to counter the move by reversing it into his signature move Dry Baptism!
If he's even able to get this submission move in successfully so early in the match, how long would he be able to keep it locked in, before Sakamoto powers out of it?!
((Dry Baptism=Dragon Sleeper))

( Nice name for it. )
:: On guard as Archangel tried to slap on a submission, Ryuu first tried to avoid it by getting to his feet as soon as possible, as he'd have an easier way fighting it. Before it was completely locked in, Ryuu would reach up with his opposite arm and turn in a 180, pulling Archangel into an inverted facelock of his own! From here, Ryuu would attempt to heft Archangel skyward .. and suddenly leap up to fall back to the canvas, trying to counter right into the Inverted Suplex to Cutter combination! ::

Archangel thought he had Ryuu in a bad position until he found himself in a bit of a switcharoo situation! It was a little too late for Angel to get himself out of the move, as he only just realized his problem when he was already in mid-air! And Angel fell victem to the horrid and painful Inverted Suplex to Cutter combination!

:: Sitting up quickly, Ryuu knew he had to keep the pressure going on the opponent. Moving to Archangel, Sakamoto would attempt to raise him back to his feet, afterward going for the man's left arm by trying to apply a tight arm wringer .. holding the arm out to keep him at bay. ::
