"Meant To Live" by Switchfoot blasts throughout the arena as SbWo comes out to the ring. Ryu grabs a mic and they step into the ring. Some of the fans cheer insanely; some boo and jeer.

Ryu: Hello, everyone, hope you're enjoying the show that has been produced for you tonight, everyone in the back has put in alot of work to entertain you guys. Throughout the decades of wrestling, there have been many factions; all were great in their own right, but we are a different breed. Therefore, we have to decided to hold The Art of War Tournament. This is a faction only tournament. What that entails is that each member of a stable has to fight the member of another stable in a special match. There's no title to win at the end of the tourney, no contendership; this is about showing off to the powers that be. Point blank period, it's about proving yourself. That is why we are looking for hungry, determined young guns that want to showcase their talents. We need 3 other factions to join this tourney and also, the tourney is set up in this fashion: stables can only be knocked out if each member is defeated. No member can interfere in ANY match; regardless of rules. Let me make this extremely clear, if you break this rule of honor, WE WILL enforece tactics of destruction. We are a unit, we move and act as one and we respect everyone regardless of position; we don't care if you're the rookie that just got here or the wrestler in his 50s-60s+. We go by a code of honor that we believe in highly. Don't disrespect us, we won't disrespect you. Thank you for listening and enjoy the rest of the show.

John Carlson: Wow. SbWo is clearly an well oiled machine. Ryu Dokita is a born tactician with an analytical mind that is always in motion. There's no telling what he'll come up with next. This tournament sounds exciting.

Ken Schram: John, remember when Ryu first got here and I made the statement that he wouldn't last 20 seconds in the ring? Well, I fully retract that statement; THAT man thinks like a general going to war, pure freakin' genius! I love it
