[Anthony Brown]

NWW F’N
October 8, 2010
US Airways Center
Phoenix, Arizona

(Metallica's "For Whom The Bell Tolls" blasts in the arena, and Ben Halbur, holding the NWW Championship on his shoulder, enters the arena to a chorus of Boos mixed with a "You Suck" chant. He smiles at the apparent hatred of the crowd, grabs a mic from ringside, and gets in the ring to address the crowd.)

Ben: That's an expected reaction after last week's title match.......

(This statement appears to anger the crowd even more, and their vocal displeasure is even louder.)

Ben: You know, I'm man enough to admit that the "match" I booked for myself last week was disrespectful not only to the Hart family but to NWW. I knew what I was doing would get the reaction it did, but went ahead with it anyway. For anyone who was offended by my actions, and I'm guessing that alot of you are, I apologize. You won't see me do that again. But tonight I have a story to tell you. Last week Terry Andrews brought up something I'd like to talk about. He wondered how I became the man who could financially back NWW. And I'll tell you. Remember when I told you guys about how I spotted Colt Richards at an Indy show in Texas a few years back, and how I was in town because of business? I was in Texas to meet my business partner of the past five years, a man who got me into the biggest moneymaking industry in the world: oil. That's right. I got in on a startup company at the very beginning, and invested the majority of my wrestling earnings in theprocess. And it paid off. Big time. You know how the past 5-6 years you've all been pissed about gas prices and how you can barely afford to drive your cars, and those of you in colder areas can barely afford to heat your homes in winter, if you can afford it? Those prices you pay have put millions of dollars in my pocket. I don't want to brag too much, but actually it's hundreds of millions. After Vince McMahon I'm the second richest man in professional wrestling. Ric Flair may have talked a big game for the past 30 years, the limos and the private jets, blah blah blah, all that crap he says, but I live it. So when living it up with all that money got boring, I called my old boss Anthony Brown to see if we could get NWW up and running again. When I heard that he needed cash to do so, I jumped at the oppertunity. Like I said a few days ago, this is a moneymaking operation for me. Every one of you in the stands? I get a cut. Buying NWW merchandise tonight? I get a cut. TV contract, PPV revenues, you get the point. I gave Anthony Brown $25 million up front to get NWW going again, with $25 million pledged down the line if things go well economically. And so far my cut of the profits is fantastic. I'm in the process of getting even richer. Soon even the mighty Vince McMahon will no longer be as wealthy as me. But there are some things I'd like to address that have been brought up by other NWW wrestlers. First off, I didn't buy the NWW Championship. I earned it. When NWW came back into existence, there were three men who were considered the top of the heap of the new generation around here. They were Drew McIntyre, The Miz, and Jeff Hardy. So let's go over my track record since coming back. First week, I defeat Drew McIntyre, the then NWW Champion. Second week, I beat Miz and Hardy in a three way match, pinning both of them. Third week, I had an off night. Got a draw with Rebel and Deathmask. But Whiplash, I defeat Drew again and win the gold. So Rebel, you want to question my track record in the new NWW? NO ONE HAS DONE WHAT I'VE DONE SINCE WE CAME BACK!!! I've been the top in-ring competetor in the new NWW and that is a fact. I didn't have to buy the gold, and never will. I'm just using my financial influence and stature to secure the profitibility of NWW. Rebel, you are talented. No doubt. But you are like a John Cena or Randy Orton. Yeah, you get a pop from the live crowd, and you move merchandise. But you don't draw the big ratings that the ultimate pro wrestlers do. The Hulk Hogans of the world. The Stone Colds. The Rocks. That is my category. I am a trancendent figure, a star for the ages. That is why I'm securing my spot. You know that paycheck you cash each week at the Walmart near your trailer park? Anthony's name may be on it, but my money makes sure it doesn't bounce. And that goes for everyone around here. You have jobs and paychecks because of me. If Anthony had the finances to run the company, where has NWW been for the last 6 years? But for tonight I think I've said enough. But after last week's regretable actions, tonight I will defend the NWW Championship in the ring, for real this time. So get ready for that defense. You'll see it later, and my opponent will probably surprise you....

(The crowd starts the "You Suck" chant again as Ben exits the arena.)

Rating: ** 3/4
(Luke Gallows no-showed.)

(Anthony Brown makes his way to the top of the entrance ramp.)
Anthony: Great match. I enjoyed it. Kell, Burchill, you should have enjoyed it as well. The two of you will face off tonight to determine a new #1 contender for the Legacy of Violence Championship. Good luck guys. And before I forget, Luke Gallows, I now enforce a strict “No Show” policy, no more warnings or second chances, you are fired, pack your bags and leave my arena.

(Brown walks back to the back.)

Singles Match

Rating: *** ¼

(Anthony Brown returns to his office after addressing the crowd. He is surprised to find the office door is already open. He walks inside to find Wezley White and Lydia in his office. Six of the NWW security force members lay unconcious on the floor. The seventh is held by Lydia, who has a scalpel to his throat. She lets him go when she sees Anthony. He goes to his employer's side. Wezley leans back in Anthony's chair, putting his feet up on his desk. Anthony pushes his feet off.)

Anthony: "Ingrates! Haven't you learned by now? Don't you know I can have you locked up any time I choose?"

Wezley: "I do know, as a matter of fact. But I'm not here to threaten you, hurt you in anyway. You said you wanted to talk to us. Well here we are."

Anthony: "Well I guess it saves me the trouble of tracking you down. We have a mutual problem right now: Ben Halbur. He decieved everyone and assaulted me. In my position, I cannot allow such brazen behavior. I want my revenge. However, certain legal obligations would prevent me from doing so personally. I can't touch him, to be honest."

Wezley: "And that's where we come in?"

Anthony: "Precisely! I would like very much if you brought your "special" brand of violence to Ben Halbur. I would like you to hurt him. In fact, I want you to ruin him. I want you to make him wish he had never double-crossed me. I want you to make him wish he was never born!"

Lydia: "And why exactly should we help you? If I had my way, you'd be bleeding all over your carpet right now, struggling to breath. Why the hell should we help you?"

Anthony Brown walks over to a filing cabinet alongside the wall. He reaches in and, after a few moments of looking, retrieves two files. He lays one of them on the desk. The other he holds in front of Lydia.

Anthony: "Do you see these? These files are your contracts. You want to know what is in it for you? Your jobs! If you don't do as I ask, I will fire you both on the spot! I am not bluffing."

Anthony begins to tear the file in half. Lydia stops him as Wezley jumps up out of the office chair. Lydia sits him down.

Anthony: "That's what I thought. I knew you two would play ball once you were properly motivated."

(Wezley spits in Anthony Brown's face. Anthony wipes it off, then smiles and points at the contract.)

(The scene cuts back to the ring.)

#1 Contenders Match for the Legacy Of Violence Championship
Bradley Kell pinned Paul Burchill with the Saito Suplex in 0:21:51.
Rating: *** 3/4

(The scene cuts back to Anthony Brown’s office.)

Wezley: "I'm going after Ben Halbur, but not because of you. I still don't care what you think. I want the NWW World Heavyweight Title. I need it. I deserve it after all of these years of scraping by, getting nothing in return. Halbur is just like the rest. He has overlooked me, cast me aside. My challenge to him means no more than facing a dead man. But I do need my job. And, as much as I hate to say it, I do need your help. You know Ben Halbur better than I do. You know things that I do not. So yes, we will help you. What is that old saying? Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer, right? Well we're gonna be real close, the three of us. Like a family."

Anthony: "So where do we start?"

Lydia: "I want Colt Richards! I want him in the ring, tonight!"

Anthony: "That would be interesting. But I can't give you Richards, not yet. But I can give you a number one contender's match. Tonight, Lydia takes on MVP. If you win, you will get your shot at Colt Richards."

Wezley: "Where does that leave me for tonight? What do you have in mind, "boss"?"

Anthony: "Love the sarcasm. Tonight, you will compete in a tag team match.”

(The scene cuts back to the ring)

#1 Contenders Match For The NWW Television Championship
Lydia Angel made Montel Vontavious Porter submit to the Eulogy in 0:21:30.
Rating: **** 1/4

(Colt Richards is seen backstage preparing for his match when Chris Jones approaches for an interview.)

Chris: Colt, can we get a comment before your match?

Colt: Sure. Tonight is another big night for me. As TV Champion you have to defend the belt at each and every TV show, which means that the belt is defended much more often than any other title. But I'm up to the challenge. I am the best wrestler in the world, and tonight is just one more time I get to show it. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to continue to get ready.

Chris: Thanks for the comments Colt. Back to the ring.

NWW Television Championship Match
Colt Richards pinned Dolph Ziggler after a spinning heel kick in 0:19:01.
Rating: *** 1/4
(Colt Richards retained the NWW Television Championship.)

("For Whom The Bell Tolls" blasts again, and Ben Halbur reappears, this time dressed for his match. He gets a mic from ringside and gets ready to announce his opponent.)

Ben: I promised you guys a title match with a actual opponent tonight, one you wouldn't expect. So here we go..........

(The crowd is wondering who it will be.)

Ben: My challenger for the NWW Championship................. A man who, quite frankly doesn't like me.................. REBEL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(The crowd goes wild at the announcement.)

Ben: ............... JUNIOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(The crowd looks confused as Rebel music hits, but out steps a man who is about 4 feet tall, but dressed just like Rebel. He gets in the ring, and as he does Ben drops to his knees and begs for mercy from Rebel Jr. As the small man reaches back to punch Ben, he gets grabbed by the throat by the champ. Ben picks him up and delivers a vicious Choke Slam to the man, knocking him out. Ben stands over him, puts his foot on top of him, and tells the ref to count to three. After the ref makes the count he gets the NWW Championship belt for Ben, along with a mic.)

Ben: YOUR WINNER................. AND STILL NWW CHAMPION..................... BEN HALBUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Just like last week Ben celebrates like he won the biggest match of his career, has a pyro display go off, and leaves the ring, arms raised in victory.)

Singles Match
Wade Barrett pinned Ted DiBiase with the Wasteland in 0:14:42.
Rating: ***
[Desmond Wolfe interfered against Ted DiBiase.]

(Desmond Wolfe then attacks Wade Barrett and tosses him over the top rope. Wolfe then demands a microphone.)

Wolfe: So, me and the boys in Fortune had a thought. How about next week we have a little battle royal. All 7 members of all 4 groups, all 28 of us. Where the winner’s group gets a special stipulation at Total Elimination. The winners team gets one man advantage in all of their Round Robin matches. 7 on 6 for the winner every match. What do you say boys?

(Wolfe tosses the mic and leaves the ring.)

(The scene cuts back to Anthony Brown’s office.)

Anthony: “Your opponents will be Ben Halbur and Colt Richards. They claim to be superstars they can wrestle twice, well almost twice, in one night"

Wezley: "Do I get a partner? What's the deal, here?"


Anthony: "You haven't been the only one to voice your opposition to Ben Halbur. So tonight, your partner will be Terry Andrews (or Rebel if the Terry Andrews character is already booked for something else). And so help me if you do anything to hinder your partner in this match, I will fire your ass in a heartbeat! Do you understand me?"

Wezley: "We are understood. Now we have some more business to discuss with you. In private."

Anthony: "You heard him. Get out!"

(The cameraman exits the office, the door shutting behind him.)

(Backstage in Anthony Brown’s office.)

Terry Andrews: Well I wanted to get my hands on Halbur. But White as my partner, you got to be kidding me.

Anthony: It will be fine, just get out there and kick Halbur’s ass.

Andrews: You got it man.

(The scene cuts back to the ring.)
