KYOTO NINJA PRE-MATCH COMMENTS

A bright white light falls down from the ceiling on top of Hakushi, dressed in a wide bamboo hat, and also the Kyoto Ninja, who has his mask pulled on and stands in a tense, yet focused position.

Behind them, in the shadows, is a shrouded figure.

Hakushi: Kyoto Ninja... tonight... is match with Rocket, Owen Hart. He say he no underestimate you, yet that is why he beat you.... 'big time'. He speak in riddles of no sense.

Kyoto Ninja: My riddles make sense, master. Tonight, I will MEET Owen Hart... face to face for the first time. Yet in my greeting of him, I shall only say.... SAYONARA.

The Ninja turns toward Hakushi and bows deeply. Hakushi nods his head back and the light fades out slowly.

The Match:
'Crossing Over' by Van Halen begins to echo up throughout the arena until it hits it's full intensity. A white light falls down into the middle of the ring and another finds the entryway where Hakushi steps out, walking with his staff. He moves quickly to the ring. The Kyoto Ninja comes out, with no light following him, leaving him hidden, like a ninja.

Hakushi enters and stands in the middle of the ring, where the two white lights converge brightly. The Ninja rolls in and kneels in front of his master. Hakushi nods to him, ending their entrance as if it were a ceremony.

Hakushi leaves the ring and stands on the outside.

Owen Hart's Music,plays over the PA,and the fans go nuts."The Rocket"Owen Hart come's out,whereing his wrestling singlet/trunks,boots,kneepads,and his hair spiked up."The Rocket"Owen Hart slaps hands with the fans as he comes to ringside."The Rocket"Owen Hart climb's up into the ring,and he climbs up to the top turnbuckle,and make it like he want's one of the belt's around his waist,and fireworks go off in the building.

King: I can't STAND Owen Hart! What a little whiner! "Give us title shots, President Piper!" What Piper SHOULD do is give him a nice kick in the pants ... right OUT of the WWF!

JR: He and the Bulldog were thrown out almost a year ago when they REFUSED to ever wrestle the Hart Foundation again!

Pillman: HAHA! What a bunch of wussies!

The bell rings. The Kyoto Ninja bows slightly to Owen Hart, but the Rocket just charges in at him, boots kicking. The Ninja KARATE CHOPS him back... then AGAIN! Owen leaps up in the air for a jumping spin kick... and the Ninja drops down low, sweeping his leg out and taking Owen down to the ground.

The Ninja backs up, then charges in and drops a KARATE PUNCH on Owen's nose, then pulls him up by the shoulder... and SWEEPS him down again!

The Ninja hurdles Owen to the opposite side, springboards off the second rope and flips back at Owen... who GETS HIS KNEES UP!!! The Ninja rolls aside as Owen gets to his feet, finally getting some momentum.

King: C'mon Kyoto... take this idiot!

Owen stalks in at the Ninja... who grabs Owen... and falls back, flipping him THROUGH THE ROPES TO THE OUTSIDE!! The Ninja kips up... hits the far side and rushes back... BASEBALL SLIDE KICK... Owen ducks aside, then pulls himself in. The Ninja lands on the outside on his feet. He turns and slides in at the Rocket... and SWEEPS him down off his feet.

King: HAHA! Look at that! There's your 'little buddy' Owen!

The Kyoto Ninja pulls Owen up to his feet and plants a boot into his chest, stepping him back a bit. The Ninja leaps up into the air... JUMPING SPIN KICK!! Owen flips back and over...down to his knees. The fast Ninja has already hit the ropes... SCISSORS KICK!!

The Kyoto Ninja pops up and looks around, excited. Hakushi motions for him to stay on top of Owen... who slowly pulls himself up... rushes at the Ninja... and BODYSLAMS him! Owen goes to the corner... climbs to the top... MOONSAULT...

Onto the NINJA'S KNEES!! Owen pops up, doubled over in pain. The Ninja grabs his arm and sends him HARD to the turnbuckles... rushes to the other side and flips back at Owen... HANDSPRING ELBOW SMASH!!!

Owen staggers out of the corner and the Ninja CHOPS him in the back of the head on the way. Owen fires back a hard PUNCH to the gut... then one to the face! he scoops the Ninja up into his arms and sets him on the top rope....

JR: Is he going for a Superplex?

Pillman: With him, it's more like a Clark Kent Plex. Mild mannered.

Owen climbs up into the corner with the Ninja... and sets him for a suplex. The Ninja pulls back both hands... and THRUSTS them into Owen's stomach. Hart falls backwards onto his head in the ring, and flips back up to his feet from the impact!! The Ninja stands on the top... and dives off... CROSS BODYBLOCK!!!

He rolls over on top of Owen, pressing him down... ONE... TWO... THREE!!!

JR: THE NINJA WINS!!!

Kyoto pops up as his music begins to play! Owen stands up and spins the Ninja around quickly and stares at him. The Ninja does not back down, staring straight back. Finally, Owen raises his hand and the fans cheer. Owen leaves ringside, slapping the fans hands.

The Ninja gives a deep, respectful bow to Hakushi, who nods back. They leave ringside, victorious.

Pillman: YES! HAHA!! That was great!

JR: Wait a second, I've just gotten word. Something is going on in Sables dressing room!

Pillman: THERE'S a first!
