Television Introduction:
It's back! The revolution in sports entertainment has returned. And after its 6 year hiatus, it's time for a New Wave to crash into the world of professional wrestling. And now, by popular demand: NEW WAVE WRESTLING.
(The Good Life by Three Days Grace explodes throughout the arena. Yellow, purple, red, and white pyro spray out from the ring post's, across the stage and down the entrance ramp. The ring announcer, Zachary Gray, is standing in the middle of the ring holding a microphone.)
Zachary Gray- Welcome Back to NEW WAVE WRESTLING. It is my honor to introduce to you, the President, Owner, and CEO of New Wave Wrestling, ladies and gentlemen, get out of your seats, put your hands together, and raise some hell for your hometown boy, "The Polar Bear" Anthony Brown.
(Sound of Madness by Shinedown plays in the BJCC accompanied by blue and white pyro on the stage. The SuperTron cuts to the back while the music is playing to show a blue 2010 Dodge Charger racing through the backstage area making it's way to the entrance way. The Charger pulls out onto the stage, revs up it's engine, and drives down the entrance ramp to the ring. The engines revs one more time and another shot of blue and white pyro comes from the stage. The driver's door of the car opens and out steps Anthony Brown. He closes the door and tosses the keys to the car to the ring attendant. The ring attendant backs the car back up the ramp and into the back as Brown enters the ring. Zachary Gray shakes his hand and gives him the microphone.)
Brown- Give it up for Zachary Gray. First things first, I'm back. And for those of you who don't know who I am, my name is Anthony Brown, refer to me as Anthony, Boss, Polar Bear, Brown, just about anything, I'll answer to it. Well, it’s good to be back. I'm sure all of you have seen the web site, we have already had our championship tournaments. The shows were a private matter to see if the talent could work well together. Well, they didn't. So I did the only thing I, weeded out the bad apples and only kept the finest of athletes. You all filled out forms upon entering the arena and I will send each of you a copy of the tournaments and roster cut matches on DVD for FREE. Yes I will cover everything. I also sent out other contracts to big name players that have yet to sign. Those guys have to Whiplash at the end of the month to show up or there contracts will be null and void. Now that all of that is out of the way. I've got a big show ready for you tonight with a 6 man tag match, a four corners match, the TV title will be on the line, and some awesome tag team matches. NWW does have the best Tag Team division in professional wrestling. But that is enough from me, I'm gonna turn it over to our announce team, my old friends, CB Pendley and Jayson Calley. Take it away boys.
(Sound of Madness plays again and Anthony Brown leaves the ring)
CB Pendley- And welcome everyone to New Wave Wrestling, I’m CB Pendley alongside my broadcast colleague, Jayson Calley.
Jayson Calley- Thank you CB. Like Anthony said, we have an action packed night in store for you tonight. And to start things off, we have a six man tag team match featuring the Revolution X Champion, The Pope and the top five contenders of the RevX division. Let’s go to the ring.
Revolution X 6 Man Tag Team Math
D'Angelo Dinero, Kofi Kingston and R-Truth defeated Daniel Bryan, Evan Bourne and John Morrison
when R-Truth pinned J. Morrison with the Lie Detector in 0:21:42.
Rating: ***
(After the match the six competitors all shake hands and leave the ring area.)
Pendley- That just shows the respect and the sportsmanship in the Revolution X Divis……
("Slow me down" by Devin Townsend hits across the Arena, the arena lights turn red and the screen lights up with the flickering image of a red fist. After a short intro the familiar figure of Rebel bursts out onto the stage, he raises his hands in the air as the crowd explodes into a frenzied mass of chants and cheers, he produces a microphone from the back of his trunks. The music drops in volume as Rebel raises the mic to his mouth.)
"Finally...The R... oh wait. Yes folks, it's me, back from the wasteland to my true home, the NWW. It's been a long time since I last saw a lot of you guys, I've been kicking my heels in the minor leagues. Well, everything is minor in comparison to the NWW."
(The crowd cheers at this, a "Rebel" chant is gradually becoming louder. )
"Anyway, enough of that... I've come back for a reason, I've come back to give you folks what you've been sorely missing. You've been missing the ups and downs. The fun and games that follow The Rebel wherever he goes. I've met some interesting people since I was last here, but I got bored, in the end, the call of the NWW brought me back."
"It would appear my return is timely, you guys are being subjected to sub-par performances lately, and it's about time some life was injected back into this place. So I'm here, and it's clear that someone was hoping for my return. They named a title in my honor, the Revolution X championship."
(Another massive cheer, along with a few high pitched squeals of joy, Rebel raises his eyebrows.)
"There will be plenty of time for that"
(He winks and carries on.)
"Here's your problem, you've got the Pope as a champion. What, does he grace you with his presence when he feels like it, and tells you not to use Condoms? Between here and the Vatican he must be exhausted."
(The fans laugh.)
"Mr. Dinero, should I say, D’Angelo. It's simple, you're holding a title which only makes sense if it's around my waist. I'm willing to be the funny guy sometimes, but right now I'm deadly serious, you're standing in the way of progress, I'd say it's a natural evolution of the championship, survival of the fittest. But really in an example of my Revolution, it's survival of the best, and you can't cut it, here tonight, on Monday night or anytime. I don't expect you to hand it over, because where would the fun be? My proposal is simple, I want your title, and I'm going to take it, you just name the time, and the place."
(Rebel smiles, and takes a quick look around the crowd, whose faces are ecstatic.)
"You guys don't need to suffer the mediocrity of fools, you guys deserve the best, and the best in NWW just got better. The Rebel Has Spoken."
(Rebel raises a fist in the air, and smiles as a large portion of the fans do the same. His music hits and he walks backstage to a chorus of cheering.)
Four Corners Match
Montel Vontavious Porter defeated Aaron Stevens, Alex Riley and Chris Masters:
x A. Riley beat Aaron via pinfall in 0:25:58
x MVP beat A. Riley via a Gorilla Press in 0:34:00
x MVP beat C. Masters via a backslide in 0:43:48
Rating: *** 1/4
(During the match:)
(Aaron Stevens is eliminated first in the match. And leaves the ring irate. After Alex Riley is eliminated Stevens runs back down to the ring holding a Singapore cane. When Riley rolls out of the ring, he is violently attacked by Stevens. After several shots with the cane, Stevens picks Riley up, turns him around, and puts the cane around his throat. Stevens drags Riley to the ring steps and executes a flatliner to Riley on the steel steps.)
(After Masters is eliminated Stevens grabs a steel chair and jumps into the ring. Stevens swings the chair and nails MVP, knocking him out of the ring. Masters gets up and charges Stevens. Seeing this Stevens throws the chair and hits Masters in the face, cutting him open. With Masters motionless on the ground, Stevens places the chair under Masters’ face, climbs to the top rope, and gives him a leg drop to the back of the head. MVP is starting to rise at ringside. Stevens grabs the chair and climbs back to the top rope. He leaps off of the top rope and kicks the chair into MVP’s face. Then he re-enters the ring and tosses Chris Masters out on top of MVP. He then shouts:)
Stevens- Give me a mic!
(The ring attendant tosses Stevens a microphone.)
Stevens- And that rednecks, is how you make an impact. This has got to be the worst state I have ever wrestled in. Three guys fall to hands of the next Television Champion. From this point forward, Aaron Stevens is no more, you will all address me as Aaron “The Axe” Stevens. And Monday, at Shockwave, I will rightfully take my place in the NWW history books as the NWW Television Champion. It will be my shot…
(Stevens is cut off by the Sound of Madness and Anthony Brown.)
Brown- Impressive Aaron, I mean The Axe. Three guys laid out, cut down like oak trees by “The Axe”.
(Brown starts waling to the ring)
Brown- But what does that prove?
(Brown steps over Alex Riley and gets into the ring.)
Brown- Let me tell you what it proves to me. It proves to me that you are a sore loser and an arrogant clown.
(Stevens gets in Brown’s face.)
Brown- What are you gonna do? Hit the man that signs your paychecks? Well, go ahead, But might I remind you where we are. We are in my home town of Birmingham, Alabama. You never know who might be around.
Stevens- Sorry, Boss, I would never…
(Stevens steps back and super kicks Brown. Brown falls to the mat. Stevens with an insane look on his face rolls out of the ring and grabs his steel chair. He rolls back into the ring.)
Stevens- Guess I took out four guys tonight. Let me tell you something boss, you invited me to hit you, you provoked me. And you can’t fire me for retaliation, it says so in my contract. So let’s consider this more retaliation.
(Stevens holds the chair high above his head and the lights go out. After a few seconds, the lights come back on and 3 men in black mask appear surrounding Stevens.)
Man in front of Stevens- Why don’t you try to take the three of us out.
(The two men to the side of Stevens kick him in the gut and hoist him in the air. The one man with the mic jumps to the top rope and yells “TTD”. He pulls off his mask to reveal himself as “Whyte Tyger” Terry Andrews. Andrews leaps off of the top rope and executes an elevated swinging DDT. The other two men pull their masks off to reveal themselves as Brannian Foxx and Simon Hawke.)
Andrews- Let me introduce you Aaron “The Ass”, I mean “Axe”, Stevens to three men you can’t take out. The Wild Breed is back baby.
(Foxx and Hawke helps Brown to his feet.)
Andrews- (laughing) You look like you got kicked in the mouth man.
Brown- (not laughing) Pick him up. Stevens, you are right, I provoked you, and I apologize. But I won’t apologize for this.
(Foxx and Hawke lift Stevens into the air and place him on Brown’s shoulders. Brown executes the Cold Shot Power Bomb on Stevens and the Sound of Madness plays. Brown and the Wild Breed leave the ring. As they are walking up the ramp, Brown turns to Stevens.”
Brown- Oh Yeah, by the way, I own this company, I erased that retaliation clause on your contract, AARON “THE ASS” STEVENS, you are FIRED. Get it? Got it? GOOD.
(Brown tosses the microphone and they walk backstage.)
(A preview of Gearheads during workout and rogue throwing camera crew out of locker room.)
(Briggs is on the phone with unknown caller.)
Briggs: “I can’t do that again. He’s the reason I got kicked out. If he comes here I’ll do worse than putting him in a wheel chair. ……………… You know what maybe he should come down here. He can sit in the front row and my opponent can see what will happen if he pisses me off. ………………….. Hoorah, Colonel.
(Fade out with rogue shaking his head.)
Rogue: “Here we go again. This won’t be good,………………………………. But it will be fun. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!”
Briggs: “Cool it Sarge!!!.”
As laughing gets louder.
(At the broadcast table)
CB Pendley- Ladies and gentlemen, the next match was supposed to feature the team of Ink, Inc. versus The Kings of Wrestling. Ink, Inc. fans we are sorry to inform you that Shannon Moore has no-showed tonight’s debut show.
Jayson Calley- So what is Jesse Neal gonna do about a partner? I guess the Kings of Wrestling will pick up an uncontested win tonight on F'N.
(The Kings of Wrestling are in the ring awaiting what will happen when Anthony Brown is shown on the SuperTron holding an ice bag to his jaw.)
Brown- Well, Jayson, The Kings of Wresting will not be uncontested tonight. Jesse Neal, get on down to the ring.
(Jesse Neal's music plays and he makes his way into the ring.)
Brown- Now Jesse, I'm not gonna make you participate in a handicap match, and just because Shannon Moore decided to no show the biggest paying job of his career, this doesn't mean you don't get to earn your paycheck, I've got you a partner, he's dying for some action. Jesse Neal, you're partner will be none other than the............................REBEL.
("Slow me down" by Devin Townsend hits across the arena once again and Rebel runs down the ramp and slides into the ring. He gives Jesse Neal a nod and they immediately go after the Kings of Wrestling.)
Tag Team Match
The Rebel and Jesse Neal defeated The Kings of Wrestling (Chris Hero and Claudio Castagnoli) when
Rebel made Castagnoli submit to the Revolution in 0:21:25.
Claudio Castagnoli suffered a neck injury. He will be out for approximately 12 cards.
Rating: *** 1/2
(Shannon Moore no-showed.)
(After the match, medics rush to the ring to attend to Castagnoli. They put a neck brace on him and carefully move him out of the ring. Medics place Castagnoli o a stretcher and with the help of Chris Hero, Jesse Neal, and Rebel push him up the ramp and into the back.)
Jayson Calley- It's such a shame to see any of the guys get hurt, whether you like them or not. Get well soon Claudio.
CB Pendley- I seem to be getting word that there is a disturbance in the parking lot. Let's shift there for just a moment.
(In the Parking Lot, muffled screams can be heard from somewhere amongst the cars, it sounds like quite a few people are in some serious trouble. Quickly a camera crew rushes through the cars, swinging left and right looking for the source of the increasingly louder screams. Suddenly the screaming stops, the cameras rush on further, and finally spot four guys, collapsed on the ground, bleeding, their breathing is laboured. The cameras stay on this scene of carnage.)
"Violence...A legacy..of violence."
(The camera swings around quickly, faced by a huge dark figure with a hood pulled down, hiding any features that might be seen underneath the camera jerks backwards quickly.)
"A legacy of violence is a difficult thing to quantify wouldn't you say, gentlemen?"
(The sounds of the men on the ground groaning can be heard from behind.)
"I mean, a legacy? Suggesting someone leaving a trail of destruction in their wake? How does a man leave such a legacy? Who does he pass the torch of this legacy to? Did he pass it on to Ezekiel Jackson? Whose legacy is this anyway?"
(The camera moves still further back, revealing the full figure of a man bulging with muscle, inside a long black leather coat and leather pants.)
"I shall tell you whose legacy is being soiled in this company, whose legacy is being run over, roughshod...That legacy belongs to one man, and one man only...that legacy belongs to me."
(The man reaches up, with his huge hands, wearing fingerless leather gloves. He slowly pushes his hood up and back, revealing the menacing Gasmask which could only belong to one man, Deathmask. The camera drops but is caught by Deathmask, two guys can be seen running off through the cars to get away.)
"You've become complacent, become secure in your belief that you were all safe, that nothing could harm you. A legacy of violence is a fine thing to waste. It took me long months of searching, but I've found the NWW yet again. I've found a place where my destructive path once trod, where fear spreads at the mere mention of my name. Simply I've found a place which has almost forgotten the legacy I left, a place where people still tremble at the name of Deathmask, but where nobody is worried, because I'm gone. NO LONGER!!"
"Ezekiel Jackson, it would appear you like to think of yourself as a violent man. You like to believe that you are extreme. Are you brutal? are you the fear which stalks the hearts of the self assured? I am the man who strikes fear into the hearts of all, the one whose name you dare not utter. You have something that belongs to me, you have taken hold of my legacy, and you tarnish it every day you hold that belt. I have returned to torment the NWW, to terrify and excite. Your comfortable reign here is over. As is the comfort of the men who think they run this place now, the men who think they have nothing to fear. The NWW is filled with the blood of victims new and old, ready to be torn apart in a ritual of endless pain."
(Deathmask points the camera at the men on the ground, all struggling to consciousness.)
"Men ridicule what they do not understand, these men attempted to stop me, attempted to hinder my unstoppable path of terror. Men use words as weapons and believe that they can damage others, calling out "Freak" and other such unimaginative names. The name that fits me is Monster, Demon, and Devastator. I am become death, destroyer of the worlds, who has come to annihilate everyone. Even without your taking part all those arrayed in the opposing ranks will be slain!. The name I use is Deathmask, a name which strikes fear in the hearts of the wise, very shortly this of you who do not know me, will also feel that fear. I shall reclaim my legacy, and I shall destroy all who think they can get in my way, you will all suffer, you shall be left rotting on the roadside like so much roadkill. I'm back NWW, and your revels are ended.
(Deathmask dumps the camera on the ground with a smash, and can be heard laughing as he heads towards the arena.)
CB Pendley- And now the arrival of Deathmask. He is quite possibly the most hardcore and violent wrestler in the industry today.
Jayson Calley- FOUR GUYS! The Deathmask just totally beat the crap out of FOUR GUY! GOOD GOD. And he coming this way.
CB Pendley- Easy there Jay, you know DM, a constant path of Destruction. That's just him. I am now getting word that we have a quick update on the injury of Claudio Castagnoli, lets go to the back where our interviewer Chris Jones is standing by with Chris Hero. Take it away Chris.
(The camera moves to the backstage area.)
Chris Jones- Chris Hero, give us the early word on your partner, Claudio Castagnoli.
Chris Hero- Well, it's plain and simple, when the Rebel hit the Revolution he broke Claud's neck. He can feel his arms and legs but he is gonna be out for a while.
Chris Jones- So what are the plans of Chris Hero while his partner is out of action.
Chris Hero- I think I'm gonna go after the Revolution X title and the Rebel. He stopped me and my partner from a chance of working up the tag team ranks, so I am gonna stop him from running up the RevX ranks. That's enough for now, I'm going to the hospital.
Chris Jones- And we send our best wishes to Claudio Castagnoli. Back to you CB and Jayson.
(Inside the arena)
Jayson Calley- Thank you Chris. This next match should be an instant classic Tyler Black versus CM Punk. This match may have NWW Championship implications, let's go to the ring.
Singles Match
Tyler Black pinned CM Punk with the God's Last Gift in 0:13:27.
Rating: *** ¾
(The camera moves to the back to Chris Jones entering Anthony Brown's office.)
Chris Jones- You wish to see me sir.
Anthony Brown- Yes, Chris, figure I will let you interview the Boss. (laughing)
Chris Jones- Honored to do it boss.
Anthony Brown- Well Chris, I would like to address a few issues. First of all, the Aaron Stevens situation. Stevens, I know you are back at your hotel wondering which unemployment line you are gonna be standing in tomorrow. But don't worry, I take it back You can have your job back, at least for one more match anyway, and you have to win, or you will get "The Axe". On Shockwave this Monday, it will be Aaron Stevens versus my friend, Terry Andrews. And since you like to leave people lying in a pools of blood, how about a First Blood Match. Well, then I think I may go with a Last Man Standing Match. But then I think an I Quit match. I got it, how about all three. Stevens you will compete in all three matched back to back to back. This is not a best of 3 series, all 3 will take place and you hope Terry is having a bad night because you have got to win, all 3. If you lose any of the matches, I will personally fire you and rip up your contract in the middle of the ring.
(You can hear the crowd roar with the announcement.)
Brown- Next I would like to address the Deathmask situation. Deathmask, if you want a hardcore match you got it. A 3 on 1 Hardcore Handicap match against the returning Seaham Crew and their freak, Devastator. All of you get to the ring, this match will start as soon as I make this final announcement.
(The crowd chants "Seaham WHO".)
Brown- Now, despite getting kicked in the mouth, I'm in a pretty good mood. So Shannon Moore, I'm not gonna fire you for no showing tonight, but I am gonna punish you for it. Next week, this is also a save your job match. You will face the man that took your place tonight, REBEL. It will be a high flyers classic, a ladder match with your contact 20 feet above the ring. You gotta win Shannon or I will fire you too. But let's get back to the action the hardcore handicap match is ready to go.
(The camera cuts back to the arena.)
3 on 1 Hardcore Handicap-Match
Deathmask defeated Seaham Crew (The Eye and Jack) and Devastator when DM pinned E-Y-E
with the Deathblow in 0:30:14.
Rating: *****
(“Stars and Stripes” starts playing. Red white and blue pyro go off. Briggs and Rogue walk down to the ring with mics in hand. )
Briggs: So first I wanna say, what an honor is to see this organization to come back to life and to be able to come here and entertain y’all. I’d also like to say that I’m proud to live in a country where you have the freedom to come here and watch us beat the crap out of each other. I’d also like to thank the commissioner for giving an opportunity for the title shot against LAX….. And further….
Rogue: wait a minute…. Who the Hell is LAX? I thought that was an airport. These guys gonna come out looking like flyboys or dressed up like a couple of flight attendants. Hey I know maybe they should come out dressed up in miniskirts. Representing the losers they are.
Briggs: Whoa, this is supposed to be a friendly match. Who care how they will be dressed. We’re still gonna beat the crap out of ‘em. Now look I’m sure they are very good wrestlers and together we’ll put on a good show for these people. LAX you better get ready, cause you will be in for a good fight.
Rogue: (laughing) yeah and bring me a beer boy!!! hahahahaha
(“Stars and Stripes” plays and they leave.)
CB Pendley- A powerfully unique tag team they are. A true cohesive unit.
Jayson Calley- Speaking of a cohesive unit, or two, we got Beer Money, Inc against the second generation Samoans, The Uso's next. Let's hit the ring.
Tag Team Match
Beer Money, Inc. (James Storm and Robert Roode) defeated The Uso's (Jey Uso and Jimmy Uso)
when J. Storm pinned Jey after hitting him with a foreign object in 0:34:36.
Rating: **** 1/4
(During the match, AJ Styles, Frankie Kazarian, Matt Morgan, Douglas Williams and Desmond Wolfe walk down the arena stairs and sit in the front row.)
(After the match Jimmy Uso confronts James Storm about hitting his brother, Jey, with a beer bottle. Jimmy gets in Storm's and is then blindsided by Robert Roode. Styles, Kazarian, Morgan, Wolfe, and Williams then jump the guard rail and quickly enter the ring. Morgan and Williams back Beer Money into the corners while Kazarian and Wolfe help the Uso's to their feet. Morgan quickly turns and runs toward Jimmy Uso and gives him the Carbon Footprint and Kazarian hit his Flux Capacitor on Jey. Wolfe picks up Jey Uso and places him on the top rope. He then executes the Tower of London on him. Douglas Williams grabs Jimmy Uso and runs him into the corner to deliver his Chaos Theory suplex. Morgan then picks both men up only to be grabbed by Beer Money. Roode hits a super spinebuster on Jimmy and Storm hits the Eye of the Storm on Jey. The group then lays the Uso's down side by side in the middle of the ring. AJ Styles pull a microphone from his jacket pocket and steps on top of the prone Usos.)
AJ Styles- First of all, do you remember earlier tonight when Anthony Brown said there were a few high impact players that have yet to sign.
(Styles, Morgan, Williams, Kazarian, and Wolfe pull pens and pieces of folded paper out of their pockets. They sign the papers and drop them on the Usos.)
AJ Styles- Now you have the most high impact stable in professional wrestling, FORTUNE. We will get to our titles soon enough, but for now, we are gonna tear through any and everybody we choose. We are gonna prove our dominance first. There has never been another stable as powerful as the one before you now. We are Fortune, and yes, we are that good.
(Styles drops the microphone, stomps each of the Uso's, and the group leaves the ring.)
CB Pendley- Fortune is now a part of NWW. But speaking of stables, we now have word that a former leader of another stable. Let's go to the back.
(The camera cuts to the backstage area)
Chris Jones- I am standing here now with the former leader of the Nexus, Wade Barrett. Wade, what brought you here to NWW?
Wade Barrett- The promise of competition I met with Anthony Brown in London a few weeks ago and he promised me more competition than what my former employer could give me, plus more money, so he bought out my contract.
Chris Jones- And what of your old stable mates, the Nexus?
Wade Barrett- I actually spoke with them before this interview, they are still obligated to my former employer for the time being. But all of them would love to join in with the competition of NWW. And AJ Styles, yes Fortune is a dominating force in wrestling, but my Nexus was better. Your little group of ragger muffins could stand with us on our worst day. I would love to see Fortune versus Nexus, but we can't do it, but what we can do is.....
(AJ Styles runs in from the side and attacks Wade Barrett. Styles then picks Barrett up and gives him the Styles Clash on the concrete floor. He then picks up the microphone.)
Styles- What we can do, Barrett, is me and you next week. What do you say?
(Styles does a mocking voice in a deep British accent: "Yes sir, Mr. Styles, I would love for you to kick my teeth......)
(Due to the camera angle, you see a boot kick Styles in the head.)
Man- How about I kick your teeth in Styles?
(The camera cuts over to the man to reveal Samoa Joe. Joe is wearing a shirt that says SST. He picks Styles gives him a side slam on the concrete.)
Samoa Joe- Revenge will be ours. And as far as dominate stables go.
(Joe picks up Wade Barrett and gives him the Muscle Buster. He then walks off before Fortune arrives.)
(Back inside the arena)
CB Pendley- The stars just keep on coming, Wade Barrett and Samoa Joe. Could we be any more fortunate than to have these top notch guys sign with NWW.
Jayson Calley- How about these top notch tag teams about to enter the ring. Motor City Machine Guns versus The American Wolves. Get to it.
Tag Team Match
The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) defeated The American Wolves
(Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards) when C. Sabin pinned Richards after a tiger suplex in 0:07:14.
Rating: *** 1/2
(After the match, AJ Styles limps out to the stage alone with microphone in hand.)
Styles- I want to know right now, why you jumped me Joe. What could possibly be going through your simple Samoan mind? I am still gonna kick Barrett's teeth in on Shockwave, but how about you join in and we make it a triangle match. Like I said before, we are Fortun....
(Two voice in sync interrupt Styles)
Voices- You may be Fortune, but we are fortunate.
(From the back of the entrance ramp, Ted and Brett DiBiase run out and attack Styles. They pick him up and give him a combination Dreamstreet and Sitout Power Bomb on the steel stage.)
Ted DiBiase- I think we can stop you. Even we had our price.
(Brett and Ted pull there contracts from their pockets and place them on Styles. They stomp Styles return to the back.)
CB Pendley- Now the DiBiase boys are here. Anthony Brown has pulled out all of the stops this time.
Jayson Calley- We now have word that we have spotted another giant of the industry in the back. Let's move to the back.
(One of the NWW cameramen is patrolling the backstage area, looking for some sort of action to shoot, when he comes across Ben Halbur, who seems eager to address the crowd. He stops the cameraman, asks him to record, and begins his address.)
Halbur: "Its been a long time ladies and gentlemen. Too long. I've been out of the game for far too long. When I got the call that NWW was about to get started again, and I got the contract offer, I was pumped. Its time for Ben Halbur to get back into the ring and kick ass. Believe me, I've had plenty of offers over the years. I could have been facing off with the Cena's and Orton's of the WWE, but I didn't feel like dealing with the backstage bullshit of Vinny's prodigal son-in-law. I could be kicking AJ Styles' ass all over Orlando but it just didn't feel right. Whatever the offer was, however much money was involved, nothing ever seemed right. Something was always a little off. You see, this company is my home. This is where Ben Halbur belongs. I'm not going to bash the other guys here tonight. They are all very good companies that I probably would have fit in well with, but they aren't my home. You see, I've only worked for a few bosses over the years. I've been a Tag Team Champion, a US Champion, and on one all too rare occasion I was World Heavyweight Champion. When I first started in the business I had a boss named Peter Abram. While we didn't always see eye to eye, he gave me my shot. He was the first guy to hire me in this crazy business, and he had faith in my abilities. Best thing that could have happened to me was having Peter as a boss as a rookie. Better than any pro on NXT, that's for sure. Then later on I started to work for Anthony Brown. Anthony is another giant of the business, a first class businessman and forward thinker. He's the one who helped me fully shape my potential into the man who became World Champion. The guy who can lead the wrestling business into the next decade and beyond. I may have been out of the game for a while, but I'm still a young man as far as this business is concerned. I was a baby in the business before, and I've now got the maturity to go with the in-ring ability. If the guys in the back thought I was dangerous in the squared circle before, just watch what is about to be unleashed. Like I said earlier, I was World Champion only once, and that just won't cut it for me. While my love of the wrestling business fuels me and has brought me back into the game, now that I'm here it's for one reason: The World Heavyweight Championship. I will win the gold again and take my rightful spot on top of this business. Its my destiny to be "the man" in the wrestling world, and I'm about to start making it happen."
(Ben gives the camera a smile and walks away, while the crowd gives a monstrous pop and chants his name. As the camera fades beings to fade out, Ben walks back with one final message.)
Halbur: “And Drew McIntyre, watch out because I’m coming for you.”
(Ben laughs at the camera as it completely fades out and he leaves the area and goes to his locker room.)
CB Pendley: Ben Halbur is back in the NWW. Heads are gonna roll now. Not on Halbur, but Rebel, Deathmasks, and The Gearheads. This is shaping up.
Calley: Not to mention The Wild Breed, The Seaham Crew, Fortune, the DiBiases, Wade Barrett and Samoa Joe, I agree totally CB, and this is just the first
(Before the next match begins, a unfamiliar man, who doesn't look to be a wrestler, comes out to the ring. He politely asks for a mic from ringside, climbs into the ring, and addresses the crowd.)
Man: "I have come here tonight on behalf of one of the men who made this evening possible. While Anthony Brown was instrumental in bringing his company back from the dead and conceiving this new incarnation of NWW, I work for the man who made this evening happen. Anthony Brown needed money to make this new beginning work, and to insure that the best wrestlers and production could be present here in NWW. That is where my client comes in. He supplied the funds necessary to present this show the way you are seeing it here tonight. Without my client's investment in NWW much of what you are seeing would not happen. While Mr. Brown and the board of directors of the company are aware of this generous support that my client has provided, he wishes at this time to remain anonymous. He feels that the company needs to be allowed to grow and flourish before he reveals himself to the world. I can assure you that he is happy with the way the company has relaunched, and through me will address the NWW crowd and employees, wrestlers included. This is a tremendous night that Anthony Brown and everyone behind the scenes at NWW should be very proud of. My client wished to not steal the spotlight from these hard working individuals at this time, but when the time is right he will address the NWW world as needed. Thank you for your patience with me this evening, and enjoy the rest of the show. My name is Charles Washington, and I will be representing my client on NWW programming for the foreseeable future"
(Washington then hands the mic back to the ringside announcer, gives a polite wave to the crowd, which seems a little confused and not sure how to react to this news, and quietly leaves the arena.)
CB Pendley- Who the hell was that?
Jayson Calley- Don't Know. Says his name is Charles Washington. I'd rather watch the upcoming title match.

Rating: **** 1/2
(Dolph Ziggler won the Television Championship.)
Jayson Calley- Something tells me that this title is gonna be a hard one to hold on to.
(Broken Dreams plays throughout the arena and interrupts Calley. The NWW Champion, Drew McIntyre, makes his way to the ring with his title belt around his waist and a microphone in hand.)
Drew McIntyre- Finally, The Chosen One gets the opportunity he deserves. I am the New Wave Wrestling Champion. But who are you Ben Halbur? You say you are coming for me. Well, get in line you are not even in the rankings. You don't deserve a chance to wrestle me.
(Sound of Madness plays throughout the arena. Anthony Brown comes out to the stage.)
Anthony Brown- Drew, you are not the Chosen One in NWW. You won a tournament. But to give you your proper respects, you do deserve that belt. You went through some stiff competition to win it. But you are wrong about Ben Halbur. He will get in line for a title shot, but he does deserve to fight you. Not for the title yet, but you will face him, right about now. Ben, come on down.
(Ben Halbur comes out, shakes Anthony Brown's hand, and makes his way to the ring.)
