(Xiaolong has just finished his workout and enters the locker room and he picks up his cellphone and checks his messages. He finds one that he's been waiting for and presses
the call icon and waits for the message to end.)
Xiaolong: "Frankie Webb this is Xiaolong and I received your message and I want you to call back and arrange a time for us to prepare for our tag team match with Mad Dog Smith and Aiden Merric. Whatever time you consider is best let me know and I'll be there on time. Come prepared because we're going to be working hard in order to be well prepared for our tag team match."
(He shuts his phone off and puts it away.)
Xiaolong: "Imagine Road To Victory was as predicted and I didn't win the scramble but know what I did win."
(Xiaolong takes a stack of bills.)
Xiaolong: "I won over a million dollars betting against both myself and on everyone including myself in that match. Yes I lost when I bet on Myojin and Kira but that was a small loss compared to winning a few million dollars. So to those who bet against me I suggest you don't or I'll still win."
(He smiles.)
Xiaolong: "However, I won't say I told you so but you already know that after I already told and showed you the result. Now on to Prestige #68. Yes I know a lot about tag team wrestling. You see it's like I mentioned I grew up in this sport watching my parents Dragon Belt and Dragonatrix along with my aunt Tiger Belt wrestling in singles and tag team matches. Yes I even had tag team matches in backyard wrestling and even when I trained to become a professional wrestler."
(Xiaolong sighs and a look of nostalgia crosses his face.)
Xiaolong: "Yes I trained in Mexico and learned the ins and outs of both singles and tag team wrestling. Imagine I once mentioned months ago that we may one day team up to wrestle as a tag team. Flashback to today and here we are tag teaming against Aiden Merric and Mad Dog Smith. I had a feeling that was going to happen and my prediction came true. Then again anything is possible in professional wrestling."
(He goes over to a screen and picks up a device and clicks on the screen and it shows tag team action.)
Xiaolong: "Now Frankie when it comes to tag team wrestling it's quite different than regular wrestling as you can see from this video display of tag team action. Notice how one team is tagging in and out often but that won't last long since almost all tag matches are never one sided."
(Xiaolong fast forwards a bit.)
Xiaolong: "Notice how the opponents suddenly got the upper hand with one move. Yes it takes one move to change a tag team match just like in singles matches and notice that the opponents are double teaming the partner in the corner. Now that's going to be happening throughout the match and the opponents are going to be determined to use every tactic from distracting the referee to fake tags and attacking opponent. Now in this case it's going to be you and me in the opposite corner."
(He clicks to another tag team match.)
Xiaolong: "Now another thing that our opponents are going to be cutting off the ring preventing us from tagging in and out. That's where we have to pull out every move we can and if we have to we'll sneak between their legs and make that explosive tag which brings the partner into the ring after being subjected to all this abuse by our opponents. The abuse includes being spit on, insulted, being slapped, punched or knocked off the ring apron and being attacked by the opponent's partner which includes being pulled off the ring apron and getting your head smashed into the ringsteps etc."
(Xiaolong clicks to another tag team match.)
Xiaolong: "Now another thing about tag team wrestling is sneak tags. Now what is that you ask? Well it's quite obvious Frankie. A sneak tag is when one member of a team is whips the other into a ropes and his partner secretly tags in but the opponent doesn't realize it and surprises him. The same can be done when an opponent is forced into a corner and a tag is made unexpectedly. Of course we can try to fight our way out of the corner but we'll be cut off from the other."
(He clicks to another match.)
Xiaolong: "Now here's the most important part of tag team wrestling besides double teaming and executing exciting moves to get the ringsiders excited is don't commit miscommunication. That means don't knock into your partner, hit your partner or if your partner is in control and you tag him in causing dissension in the team. The consequences will be quite......How can I say it......Quite hostile and the tag team will lose the match and start blaming each other and try to beat each other down or one will leave the ringside area. The alternative is the tag partner will refuse to tag which leads to the opponents pinning that individual for the victory."
(Xiaolong clicks off the video.)
Xiaolong: "Now Frankie these are valuable bits of lessons about tag team wrestling that you shall learn about personally when you and I start preparing for our match with Aiden Merric and Mad Dog Smith. I'll even recruit a tag team if you want me to in order to prepare us for the match. We'll work around your regular and persona schedule since I'm quite flexible and you have your life to lead as well. That's what areal tag team does too. So contact me and we'll talk about things. Right now I'm off to freshen my self up."
(Xiaolong leaves as the scene slowly fades to black.)
