("So, as you can see, the two-bedroom floor plan has a lot of room. You've seen the swimming pool, which is private for residence only. Next, I can show you the onsite restaurant, and then the gym." These words came from the lips of a bubbly blonde who was showing Shinjiro around the apartment. The lovely women didn't look back as she spoke and drifted into the main room ready to exit, but Shinjiro did not follow. Instead, he stood in the small dinning of the third-floor apartment and looked out of the window that overlooked a small courtyard.

Shinjiro's mind wasn't on the apartment as he looked at the beautifully manicured grass, no, his mind was pondering his upcoming match and the fact that he was relocating to Las Vegas. Several times he had considered moving to Las Vegas while in Honor Wrestling to be closer to the main office, but found the Asian communities in and around San Francisco too welcoming to leave.

The decision to move to Vegas was easy to make now that he had transitioned to Sin City Wrestling. He was going to completely immerse himself into the company, and had already found a new gym to train in. He had found that before he even began looking for a new apartment, because training was more important than a place to rest.

"Um, Mr. Yamamoto, are you ready Sir?" the hostess says. Her voice snaps Shinjiro out of his trance. He turns and looks at her and notices how beautiful she is. Her green eyes sparkle around her golden blonde hair. The two lock eyes for a moment and Shinjiro smiles before it becomes to awkward. "Yes, sorry, was just admiring the view." Shinjiro says before heading for the door with the woman.

The two continue to walks the grounds of the complex. The four-star rated restaurant, the gym that rivaled a Gold's and included a steam room and sauna. Eventually the tour wraps up at the main office, more specifically in the woman’s office.

Her name is Hayley Green, but Shinjiro has been referring to her as Ms. Green to remain professional. Her dress clung to her legs tightly, just as her blouse and jacket were also very form fitting. Shinjiro could tell she was an athlete, and when he saw a picture of her in the office from a mud run he knew she was a cross fit fanatic. More then her looks, he was impressed by her confidence of knowledge of her business.)

Ms. Green: So, what do you think of the Garden Grove?

Shinjiro: I love it. It's beautiful, very clean, and the gym is top notch.

Ms. Green: Well, should we proceed with the paper work to finalize your rent?

(Shinjiro, glances at her hands and does not notice a wedding band.)

Shinjiro: Well first I have a couple questions.

Ms. Green: Oh yes, certainly, how can I help you.

Shinjiro: Would it be considered unethical for a staff member of Garden Grove to date a tenant?

Ms. Green: Why, yes of course. It could certainly be considered a conflict of interest.

Shinjiro: Are you single?

Ms. Green: Excuse me?

Shinjiro: I must be honest. As impressed as I am with the apartments here, I am even more impressed with you. The beauty of this place pales in comparison with your beauty. Not only that, but the way you carry yourself, the way you command respect and attention without having to even say it, I am very impressed.

Ms. Green: Well, thank you Mr. Yamamoto, but I don't think this would be professional since you are a perspective client.

Shinjiro: Understood. In that case, I do not want the apartment. I'd much rather take you to dinner.

(Without saying a word Hayley Green quickly stands from her chair and moves to the door of the office. She opens the door quickly and looks back at Shinjiro.)

Ms. Green: Mr. Yamamoto, I'm afraid I'm going to have to ask you to leave. I am a professional, and wish to be treated as such. This is not the time or the place to discuss possible relationships.

(A bit surprised, Shinjiro stands up from his chair at her desk and buttons the jacket of his grey suit.)

Shinjiro: I apologize is I offended you Ms. Green. It was not my intent to dishonor you, or make you feel as though I did not respect you as a professional. I am simply more interested in you than in any property in all of Las Vegas. I have been here several times, and never have I seen anything in Las Vegas as intriguing as you.

(Hayley, tries not to smile but the edge of her mouth cracks into one. Without a word Shinjiro heads out of the office and stops in the door way.)

Shinjiro: My number is on the application, if you ever reconsider dinner please do not hesitate to call me.

Ms. Green: Thank you, but I must get back to work Mr. Yamamoto. If you ever want a top of the line, high class apartment, do not hesitate to call the rental office.

(Ms. Green then shuts the door in Shinjiro’s face.)

On Camera

(The scene fades in to show Shinjiro in the middle of a boxing ring. He is dressed in long black tights, with black kick pads, black MMA gloves, and red headgear. Around him are three trainers, each dressed in red headgear, body pods, and striking pads on both their hands and legs.

The three trainers circle Shinjiro, and Shiniro stands in the middle of the ring and eyeballs the trainers. Suddenly one of the trainer’s attacks from behind, and Shinjiro catches him coming in with a arm drag. Shinjiro gets to his feet quickly and the other trainers are attacking. Shinjiro hits the first one with a thrust kick to the chest, shoving the attacker away. Shinjiro then quickly catches the third one in a double leg take down, dropping him to his back.

The first trainer is up from the hip toss at this point though and attacking again. Shinjiro side steps him and hands a three-punch combo to the body and shoves him into a corner. Shinjiro then spins and lands a front round house kick to the head of another trainer. Then, without any wasted motion Shinjiro moves with cat like quickness and lands a drop kick to another trainer. The force sends the trainer flying through the ropes where he lands hard on the outside.

"STOP! STOP! STOP!" The sound of another trainer is heard, as he and a few other members rush to the man on the outside. Shinjiro quickly pulls his headgear off and hops out of the ring to check on the man as well.

"Is he ok?" Shinjiro asks with a bit of panic in his voice. "Yeah, he's fine, he can walk it off" the main trainer says, followed by "Everyone take a break, get some water".

Shinjiro lays the headgear on the edge of the ring and pulls his gloves off and lays them beside the headgear. Shinjiro is handed a water bottle from one of the trainers and replies with "thank you" and a bow of his head. Shinjiro then sits on the apron of the ring and takes a refreshing drink of the water before looking to the camera.)

Shinjiro: Once again I go to war. I go to war for gold, for glory, but most importantly I go to war to prove I am the best. The Warriors brawl match is where I made a name for myself in Honor Wrestling. Winning the first ever Warriors brawl and becoming the first ever Honor Legacy champion let everyone know that Shinjiro Yamamoto is for real, and that he is a man to be both feared and respected in this sport.

At High Stakes, I once again will win the Warriors Brawl match. I once again will win a championship, through the Warriors brawl match. And, I once again will use that win to cement my name at the top of the sport and show everyone in Sin City Wrestling that the Golden Dragon Shinjiro Yamamoto is for real and is a man to be feared and respected.

I was voted the man that people wanted to see comeback to Honor Wrestling, and those people got their wish when I returned. Well, Ben Jordan you have been asking for the top competition in the world, and just like the Honor Wrestling fans, you are getting what you wished for. There is an old saying though Ben, that isn't just used in my homeland, but is used all across the world. That saying, is you better be careful what you wish for.

You say you are a fighting champion, and that you want to face the best competition there is, but will you be saying the same thing when you are standing across the ring from me, locked inside that chamber, and starring deep into the raging inferno that burns in my eyes? You wanted the best, and now you got the best. Not just the best from Honor Wrestling, not just the best from Sin City Wrestling, but the best from anywhere in the world. You finally get what you have been asking for, but what you don't realize is that it is going to cost you the SCW Roulette championship.

I respect your fighting spirit Ben Jordan, just as I respect your skill, and your willingness to put you championship on the line in a match like this. That respect though, will not stop me from tapping you our and taking that championship. Of course, I would have much rather us faced each other in a one on one match. Champion versus champion, a true test of skills to see who the better competitor was, but that is not our fate.

I will however say this right here, and right now, and everyone can mark this down and keep note of it. When I walk out of High Stakes with both the Honor Wrestling Legacy championship and the Sin City Wrestling Roulette championship, and become the first crossover champion in the history of Honor and Sin City wrestling, well you Ben Jordan are welcome to your rematch for the Roulette championship whenever you want it.

(Shinjiro takes another drink of his water, and looks over at the trainer he had just drop kicked out of the ring. The other trainers have helped him pull his pads off and the man now sits with an ice pack on the back of his head. Shinjiro continues looking at the trainer an begins to speak without looking at the camera.)

Shinjir: Believe it or not, unlike so many others in this sport, I do not like hurting other people. I do love to test my skills against other competitors, but that isn't what the warriors brawl match is about. Warriors Brawl matches are brutal and violent. The men in this match will bleed, and face a high risk of suffering a life long injury.

One man who knows these risks, is Blasted Monk. Monk was also in the first ever Warriors Brawl match, and as much as I like and respect you Monk, your fate will be the same as it was the first go round.  If you get in my way, I will drop you or tap you just like I would anyone else. You know firsthand what it is like to suffer a flaming death, and if it comes down to you and I, do not think for a second that I will hesitate in taking you out.

Another man in this match that has felt firsthand what it is like to step into the dragon's layer is Caleb Storms. Caleb, just a mere week ago you and I did battle in the ring and at the end of the night I showed you what a true Dragon Slayer was and forced you to tap you. The results at High Stakes, are going to be exactly the same. Maybe this time, don't worry about touring, don't worry about your music, worry about surviving this match.

That is your problem Caleb, you have too many irons in the fire. A man that tries his hand at too many things can never be a master at any of them. So, make a choice, wrestling or music. I will say this though, if your music is as bad as your wrestling... then find a third option.

(Shinjiro turns his face back to the camera. His eyes seem to glow with fire as he face has become more intense.)

Shinjiro: I've never stepped into the ring with anyone else in this match. I've seen footage of Ty West, and while he has solid skills, he is to concerned with looking good. Ty, until you are willing to sacrifice everything, including what some would call a pretty face, then you will never be a champion. And, as long as I am in this match, you will not be Roulette champion. Just like your acting career, your wrestling career will leave you as someone who could never break into the big time and you will be either remembered as the person who never made that big break, or even worse you won't even be remembered at all.

So, here is some free advice that obviously you have either never been told before, or have never listened to before. If you want to be successful, if you want to be a champion, if you want to make a legacy for yourself you are going to have to get your hands dirty and make sacrifices. You are going to have to be willing to stick your chin out, eat the blows of your opponent while gritting your teeth and keep coming forward. I have never stopped coming forward, I have never stopped backing down, and that is what has made me a two-time Legacy champion, and that is what will make me the next Roulette champion.

This doesn't just go for Ty West, it goes for everyone in the Warrior's brawl and everyone in Sin City Wrestling. I will never stop, I will never quit coming, and I will never give up. I don't care if I start the Warriors Brawl out locked in a chamber or if I'm the first man in the ring, honestly, I'd prefer begin the first man in the ring. I've survived the Warriors brawl before... NO! I have WON the Warriors Brawl, and walked out a champion before, and at High Stakes I will once again win the Warriors Brawl and this time walk out with two championships.

The Golden Dragon is here, Sin City. If you didn't take notice in my match with Caleb Storms, then you will be in for a huge surprise at High Stakes. At High Stakes I will stand with the Legacy Championship and the Roulette championship and I will waive my flag high and proud for all of Sin City Wrestling to see. Then, I will climb to the top of the Sin City Wrestling mountain and firmly plant that flag into the ground and dare anyone to try and take it down.

I am the best wrestler in the world and Sin City Wrestling is now my home. At High Stakes, I show everyone why I call myself the best in the world without hesitation. At High Stakes, I prove to everyone that Sin City Wrestling is now the Dragon's Layer. And, at High Stakes I will engulf everyone in the Warriors Brawl match in my burning fire. All seven of my opponents will feel that fire, and all seven of them will suffer the same fate... a flaming death.

(Shinjiro hops off the apron of the ring and the scene fades out.)
