DVD takes the first step in calming the chaos in his mind so he can return to form.

The mind is a terrible thing. Truly it is a weapon. It can be used to to invent objects for healing and yet be utilized on the same token to think up inventive ways to kill. When the mind is unsettled and out of line, one can lose his way. One can lose his effectiveness. Lose his sharpness.

That is what happened to DVD. So this week, DVD spends it in Japan, with his martial arts instructor, a middle aged man by the name of Yamajiro Yagami. Yamajiro is a true master of fighting arts, he has studied and is proficient in every type of Japanese fighting art, and is exceptional in Judo, Sambo, and Chinese Boxing. He has taught DVD the basics of some Chinese Boxing and Kung Fu, however, DVD is so unorthodox in his methods, Yamajiro now refuses to teach him the next level of skills until DVD can be more traditonal.

But that won't happen. DVD has always done things his own way, and the martial arts are no exception. But Yamajiro has always been something of an advisor to DVD no matter what has happened, and now is no exception.

Yamajiro, who actually dislikes wrestling, had been watching with some interest at his pupil DVD made his return to the ring. He was disgusted with DVD's performance, and called him finally to come to the old dojo in Saitama.

DVD arrives knowing full well what to expect. Yamajiro will try to show DVD how 'unpolished' his skills are. How boring, DVD thinks. Hasn't the old man made his point?

But Yamajiro has other plans. Yamajiro has no plans to physically train DVD. He plans on training the most important part of anyone's body....the mind.

DVD drives a rental car through the hustle of Tokyo headed for the province of Saitama. DVD loves Japan, has been there many times, including about a year with master Yamajiro for his intial training so long ago. DVD actually speaks decent Japanese, something most of his die-hard fans don't even know. DVD thinks over the events of this past Sunday. DVD thinks about Chris Wrestling and Raven. He knows what he did. He knows the 'hound' have been set on him in the form of Raven.

But now DVD must proceed with his training. He arrives at the dojo, at the outskirts of Saitama. It is fairly large. It also has a separate section that contains a small apartment, usually used for students. DVD is dressed simply in black t-shirt, dark denim jeans and black boots. DVD gets out of the car, grabbing his duffle bag, and heads for the door. It opens to his touch.

DVD steps inside. The buidling has been renovated and improved over the years. Now a large circular padding is in the center of the old gym now dojo, there are rooms containing Japanese non-lethal weapons, weights, and other materials. There are even sumo rings for sumo wrestlers.

DVD drops the bag, and looks on impressed, and nostalgic. Before, when Yamajiro used Judo or Sambo to take down DVD, he would just hit the hard floor. Now there is padding.

DVD's thoughts of nostalgia and envy are broken, as Yamajiro himself is now approaching. Yamajiro Yagami is not a small man. At least by Japanese standards. He stands at 5'10 about 165....no physical weakness or anything. His muscles trained to be firm and unrelenting. However, DVD notices he has gray in the short hair. But it fits well with the gray Gi he is wearing.

But DVD suddenly is forced to raise his forearm quickly to block a palm thrust by Yamajiro. DVD's eyes are wide with shock. The attack was aimed at the chin, in hopes of lifting DVD off his feet. DVD suddenly deflects his teachers palm, then grabs him by the throat. Yamajiro grabs DVD's wrist and pulls forward, the grip loosening, then Yamajiro is suddenly to DVD's side, and with the aid of a leg trip, uses the wrist to send DVD hard into the floor. Yamajiro stares down at DVD in disgust.

Yamajiro: You want to return to the old DVD? The ferocious black tiger that tore down XWF for the sole pupose of being the best? Fighting and thinking like that won't even grant you the Las Vegas title. You mind has lost its edge. The time away from your American ring has left you like a dull sword. Well, I promise you I will sharpen you. Actually I will give you the stones with which you must sharpen yourself.

DVD: Stones?

Yamajiro: You must command the mind. In order to do this, you must do three things....overcome opposition, command reflexes, and conquer fear. Complete this task, and your mind will return to its old state. The state that left XWF in a state of destruction. La Envidia Mata, Canadian Crippler, El Locon, Raven, David 14, all of these were crushed by you in your previous form. Chris Wrestling, even Chezina trembled at your arrival. While you are here, I will help you command your reflexes while you are here. You will return next week to learn to conquer your fear. Now get up, go rest for an hour and your training will commence.

DVD stands up, and heads for the apartment section.

A Dull sword....a great metaphor. I can't cut anything.....I beat La Envidia Mata...but he's nothing anymore.....I must 'sharpen' myself....

DVD meditates, but the thoughts, memories, emotions that cloud and prevent his focus abound. In this state he cannot focus enough to do much in SVO. Only through anger or rage can he focus right now. No, that will not do. DVD must master focus with his own hands.

An hour passes. DVD is at a local spa. It has a cold waterfall with rocks everywhere. Yamajiro leads DVD along the rock in the pool.

Yamajiro: sit.

The rock is directly under the waterfall. Sitting there would mean getting drenched.

DVD: But the water....

Yamajiro: DO NOT QUESTION ME! NOW SIT!

Yamajiro roars in Japanese. DVD sits under the water, instantly holding his arms up to block the water.

Yamajiro: When you can sit under this water fall without flinching or moving...then part one of your mental training is complete. Remember....your reflexes to your environment are under the control of your mind. Now sit, and I will fetch you later.

DVD is fighting the water. He suddenly realizes he might as well try and make this work. He folds his legs, and sits arms crossed, but his head atan angle to prevent water from getting in his face.

This water is cold.

Its freezing.

Your're shivering....

DVD shivers.

You aren't nothing in SVO...

You're weak.....

Your're a pushover....

'Am I really?' thinks DVD. The thoughts trying to swallow him. The doubt and emotion trying to make him lose faith in his own ability.

You are at the same level as Night

Roscoe Shame...

Howard Thompson....

Juliana Torres...you are overrated like her.....look at her....her pathetic title reign. That's you...

NO ITS NOT!!!!!

I am a Warrior.

I am a Wrestler's Wrestler.

A Champion.

A Hall Of Famer.

THE Man.

Suddenly, DVD's head straightens. The water not being blocked. An hour has passed. The shivering continues.

I am unstoppable.

I cannot let my career be known for this.

I am better than this.

I am the best.

I am David.

The Shadow.

When that wasn't good enough I became DVD.

When that wasn't enough, I became the Best.

Now I am the posterchild for Charisma.

You are weak....

I am strong....

You are overrated...

I am not even close to my true potential.

You are...

SHUT UP!!!!

I must back up Xtreme Fusion.

I must come back to form.....

This water...................its......

No longer......

Cold......?

Stop shivering.......

DVD stops shivering. The water flows over him, washing him clean seemingly. DVD's breathing returns to normal, his body at peace.

Yamajiro had been watching for the last hour. Its been over two hours. He smiles.

Yamajiro: It seems you can control your reflexes. You must control all reaction. Emotion and passion cannot control you. They should be your fuel, not your engine. Now stand and go back to America. Even with this, you will be able to back up your old friends Xtreme Fusion. Return to me soon....

DVD stands and steps out of the shadows. He realizes he control is something he has lacked, and now he must utilize this new control to crush Raven.

I can't be stopped. I'm coming. Xtreme Fusion...I will be there....Ravven....I am coming for that title...Howard Thompson.....get out of my way......

DVD now knows what he must do.....but that will have to wait till this Sunday.....

His training will continue. Will he be able to make it through?

To Be continued....
