GWA Fight Night Ep 1

==========================================================================

"Nothin suffocates you more than the passing ofeveryday human events,
and isolation is the oxygen mask you make your children breathe in to surviiiiive!!

But im not a slave to a god that doesnt exist.
But im not a slave to a world that doesnt give a sh*t.
And when we were good, you just closed your eyes,
so when we are bad, we'll scar your minds.

Fight, fight, fight, fight,
fight, fight, fight, fight."
==========================================================================

Red and blue beacon lights flash behind the cage screens on either side of the entrance to the ring. The stage itself seems simple enough yet conveys the feel of the atmosphere: A black backdrop with two steel cage like pieces framing the entrance. Dark, unforgiving, tough as steel. It can only be....Fight Night!

MS: I'm your host "The Extreme Educator" Matt Striker, alongside Joey Styles and "The Human Suplex Machine" Tazz; broadcasting live from the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York, New York.

JS: Matt what a fitting choice of arena for the inagural show with this arena having such a tenured history when it comes to wrestling.

Tazz: Even I've wrestled a few matches here, maybe even defended a few world's titles here as well.

MS: And tonight, 9 men will start their journey towards that World's title in our main event with a Gauntlet match to determine rankings towards the crowning of the GWA World's Champion on July 21st at Seek and Destroy.

JS: But that's not all as 16 men kick off the opening rounds of the Tag Team Title Tournament! Teams not only from the United States but from Canada and Japan as well.

Tazz: Legends like 3D, established teams like the World's Greatest Tag Team and even legacies in the making such as the Hart Foundation 2.0! You know I gotta be cheering for 3D in this one, not to sell any of the other teams short but 3D has been champions in so many different companies...

MS: Right you are Tazz, but there is one company they have never been tag team champions: the Global Wrestling Alliance!

JS: Let's save the shots for the ring as we go to Lillian Garcia in the ring for the introductions to our opening contest.

Camera pans over to Lillian standing in the middle of the ring in a denim skirt and black tank top.

LG: The following contest is scheduled for a one fall, with a 15 minute time limit and is part of the opening round of the GWA Tag Team Championship Tournament.

A guitar rift starts resounding over the PA system of the arena, the speed only albe to be matched by the tag team it summons.

LG: At a combined weight of 380lbs, they are the team of Paul London and Brian Kendrick, the hooliganz!

London and Kendrick race down to the ring in matching red Hooliganz 2/3 pants and entrance vests diving into the ring and narrowly missing Lillian in the process. London proceeds to taunt at the top left hand corner as Kendrick proceeds to the bottom right corner to rile up the crowd in their favour before the match even starts.

LG: And their opponents...

The brass of an orchestra can be heard now in place of the guitar rifts.

LG: At a combined weight of 485lbs, Shelton Benjamin and Charlie Haas...the World's Greatest Tag Team!

Not to be outdone, Haas and Benjamin come out in gold track suits...

MS: You think all that gold might be a sign of things to come?

JS: They've definately got their hands full tonight against the team of London and Kendrick.

Tazz: Maybe so, but as the tag line goes, there's only one way to find out...FIGHT!

Haas and Kendrick start things off in the ring with a collar and elbow tie up, Kendrick quick to escape bounds to the ropes going for the speed game early.

MS: Good call by Kendrick, you aren't going to out wrestle Haas and Benjamin so go with what brought you to the dance, that speed and flight.

Kendrick connects with a cross body block on Haas, knocking him to the canvas. Kendrick quick to his feet, and tries to be even quicker by connecting with a standing elbow drop, but Haas rolls out of the way and over to the corner to tag in his partner Shelton Benjamin.

JS: The Hooliganz seem to have the World's Greatest Tag Team's number here tonight. They might have to change their name to the World's Second Greatest Tag Team if this continues!

Tazz: I wouldn't be so sure of that, I think Haas was just off to a bad start and did the smart thing by tagging in to the more agile Shelton Benjamin.

MS: Shelton connecting with a deep arm drag on Kendrick, taking him to the mat and locking in an arm bar. The wiley veteran Tazz might be right on the money here. Shelton comes closer to being able to keep up with the Hooliganz in ring antics, but by grounding them, they become easy pickings for the more technically sound Haas.

London gets the crowd rallied behind his partener, Kendrick slow to get to his feet but Benjamin still has the arm twisted. Both men at their feet now as we see Benjamin twist the arm around. Kendrick tiwsts Benjamin's arm back to alieviate the pressure from his own arm and send it back before Kendrick arm drags Benjamin back. With Benjamin on the mat, Kendrick dives to his corner giving the tag over tto the fresh man, Paul London.

London now charges Benjamin with a full head of steam, only to be drop toe hold'd into the turnbuckle. Benjamin makes the tag into Haas who imediately starts going to work on the ribs of London with haymakers in the corner.

MS: By impacting the ribs, you compress the lungs and make it harder to intake oxygen.

Tazz: In lamence terms, if you can't breath you can't fight.

Haas brings London to his feet, starts in to irish whip London towards Kendrick but turns to whip London back in to the WGTT corner, this time letting the turn buckle pads do the impacting. As London falls face first to the mat, Haas is quick on the offence with a front chancery, cutting off the flow blood to the head.

JS: The ref is going to have to pay close attention here that this doesn't become a choke hold.

MS: The ref checking in with London now but he's unresponsive.

He lifts the arm...it drops.

JS: Did you see that?! Shelton Benjamin just pocketed something from underneath that turnbuckle pad!

The ref lifts London's arm for a third time and calls for the bell as London is still unconscious.

JS: Despicable!

Tazz: I gotta disagree with you there. All's fair in love and war and out there...that's a war zone.

MS: Whatever it was, it got the job done none the less.

Camera cuts from Haas and Benjamin celebrating in the ring to Mean Gene Okerlund backstage with Lance Storm.

MG: Lance, you've requested this time here tonight. So without further interruption....

Mean Gene passes the microphone to a street clothed Lance Storm. Storm bares an unimpressed facial expression, disappointed with what is about to come.

LS: Gene, as you know, my role here in GWA is to be a trainer of sorts. I'm to help evaluate talent but also to help them work on their weaknesses and change those into strengths. However, against my wishes, one of the teams that I had been working with has been entered into this tournament. I regret to inform you all that I am fore fitting that team from the tag tournament as they are not only not yet prepared for such a match. The Hart Foundation 2.0 has a lot to live up to if it wishes to meet and exceed the original Hart Foundation. DH Smith and Tyson Kidd, they have the physical tools at their disposal, but I just don't feel that they can use them effectively enough. Considering that they are going up against a team such as Beer Money, I would merely be setting them up for failure and possible injury.

MG: Lance, but what about the tournament?!

LS: They asked for my opinion and I told them no. They had to know that this was going to happen. They will have plenty of time to be champions in their careers, but that time is not now.

Camera fades back to the ring with Lillian Garcia.

LG: The following match is scheduled for a one fall, with a 15 minute time limit and is your third opening round qualifying match. Introducing first, at a combined weight of 402 lbs, the team of the Warrior Low Ki and the "Fallen Angel" Christopher Daniels...Triiiiiiple X!

"Well I'm a black rainbow and I'm an ape of God..."

Daniels and Low Ki appear on the stage. Low Ki in his white trunked Senshi gear and Daniels in a full length white robe.

LG: And their opponents....

MS: We're getting word that somethings' going on backstage right now...

The camera cuts to the back, central catering. Food lays scattered on the floor amongst the splinters from the tables. Amidst the carnage lies the bodies of Yujiro and Naito, No Limit. The camera pans the scene of the carnage...Chris Sabin is flat on his back, blood trickling from a gash on his forehead surrounded by shards of glass in front of a candy vending machine. The devastation seems to be completely random as both teams were to be facing each other after. However, there was one tell tale sign...each body has a Team 3D shirt draped over it.

El Phantasmo and the Chicken Run Blastorama hit over the PA system as Lance Storm appears on stage.

LS: Cut my music. Low Ki. Daniels. I regret to inform you, that for the second time tonight, I'm going to have to remove a team from this tournament. Brother Ray. Brother Devon. Effective immediately you two are disqualified from this tournament. No Limit and Chris Sabin will not be able to compete tonight so that match will have to wait for another day. As a result, I'm going to have to announce Haas and Benjamin as being in the finals of the tournament as their competitors for the match have all been removed. Haas and Benjamin, should I find out that it was you two who orchestrated this and set up 3D, you had better hope I find you before 3D does. As for xXx, I have no choice but to award you two the match and the spot in the semi finals against Beer Money next week.

The music hits again as Storm makes his way to the back.

Tazz: One heck of a rocky start to this tournament. Thus far we've only seen one real match and even that involved more brains than brawn.

MS: What happened to all being fair in love and war? I thought you said that was a war zone out there Tazz?

Tazz: Yes I did say that, but out there is supposed to be the ring, not the catering area.

JS: An odd point to bring up though but...Where was Alex Shelley? Did Team 3D leave the shirts as a calling card or were they set up by the World's Greatest Tag Team who seemingly had the most to gain out of all of this!

MS: Has to be the World's Greatest Tag Team. The Dudleys are devastating. They are dastardly. They are Dudleys! But, they aren't stupid. They knew Lance had high hopes for this tournament but seemingly everything he had planned for it is falling to pieces.

Tazz: The Dudleys have to be the ones that did it. Ray and Devon aren't stupid. They are no strangers to gold. Whether they claim it through this tournament or by challenging for it later, they got their name out there and made sure that No Limit and Chris Sabin wouldn't forget it any time soon.

LG: The following contest is your main event of the evening and is a gauntlet match! Two competitors start in the ring and another one will take to the ring after someone has been eliminated. This will continue until all nine competitors have competed. Introducing first, from Parts Unknown, he stands 6'10" and weighs in at 350lbs, he is the monster...ABYSS!

Down in the catacombs plays over the PA system as Abyss makes his way down to the ring decked out in his old black attire.

MS: It looks like we are going to be getting the Monster Abyss, not Chris Parks recovering mental patient.

Tazz: That's the way you have to be out there, a monster!

LG: And his opponent...

Undead by Hollywood Undead starts to play over the PA system.

LG: From Thunder Bay, Ontario. He stands 6'2" and weighs in at 255lbs....VAAMPIIROOO!

Tazz: What a great way to start this off, two of GWA's craziest combatants locking horns in that ring.

JS: But where is Vampiro?

MS: He's right there behind Abyss!

The time keeper rings the bell and this one's underway. Vampiro catches Abyss in an inverted DDT and goes for the cover.

AND A KICK OUT!

JS: So much for the element of surprise.

MS: It was close though. Another half second and Abyss would have already been eliminated. Notice how Vampiro stays on the offence lacing into Abyss with a series of stomps, to the head, to the hands...more noticeably the fingers to be specific. Vampiro wants to break down the monster Abyss and make quick work of him.

Tazz: Of course he does. Look what Vampiro is in there against. Would you want to spend any more time against that than you had to?

JS: Vampiro running the ropes now as Abyss gets to his feet....Vampiro connects with a lariat but merely stuns the big man. Going into the ropes again....Abyss tries to catch him....and Vampiro ducks under the grasp of Abyss. Vampiro grabs Abyss from behind and connects with an Edgeacution. Vampiro goes for the cover...1...2...and Abyss gets the shoulder up!

MS: The monster still has too much left in the tank. Vampiro trying to weaken Abyss down fast but the monster is merely being stunned by it all.

Tazz: Abyss has Vampiro goozled now! It's the chokeslam for Vampiro!

JS: Vampiro hooks the mask though! Abyss can't see where he's going as the eye holes are now on his forehead!

MS: Vampiro looks like he's going for it.....

Tazz: NAIL IN THE COFFIN!

JS: This one has to be academic. 1...2...3!

LG: Abyss has been eliminated! The next competitor...CM Punk!


MS: An interesting mesh of styles here. Punk prefers to use a more fast paced martial arts styled game. Vampiro though, his game is more psychological.

JS: Punk goes for a quick roundhouse kick but Vampiro ducks and catches CM Punk in a school boy! 1...2...3!

Tazz: Unbelievable!

MS: CM Punk's offense proved to be his weakness as Vampiro expected Punk to go for his strikes right off the bat.

LG: Competitor #4.... Christian!

JS: Christian trying Vampiro's own strategy against him, coming from the crowd as well. Christian with a low blow and a school boy roll up. 1....2....

Tazz: Vampiro rolls out and hooks the inside cradle! 1...2...3!

Ms: The eliminations are coming fast and furious now!

LG: Competitor #5....EDGE!

JS: We were that close to seeing Edge Vs Christian, a match teased for ages now.

Ms: Edge oddly enough taking a direct approach. He's coming down the ramp, and actually doing the right thing.

Tazz: Vampiro will have none of it though. Stiff kick to the head as Edge slides into the ring, leading to the same kind of stomping we saw earlier against Abyss.

MS: A bit more effective here against Edge though!

JS: Vampiro picks up Edge bringing him to his feet. Hooks him up for the suplex.....

Tazz: only to have it reversed into a DDT by Edge!

MS: That's got to have rattled Vampiro's brain.

JS: We'll soon see. 1...2...No quite enough. Edge getting to his feet now...waiting....Vampiro gets up...turns to face him and....SPEAR!

MS: That has to be it!

Tazz: And it is!

LG: Vampiro has been eliminated. Competitior #6.... Raven!

JS: But Vampiro is unrelentless. He won't take the defeat lying down and gets in a cheap shot on Edge with a punt through the uprights. Raven comes in now and nails the Evenflow DDT onto Edge.

LG: Raven has been disqualified. Competitor #7.....Chris Jericho.

MS: It's all for not. The ref disqualifies Raven for Vampiro's assistance!

Tazz: I love it! Edge is going to be easy pickings for Jericho now.

JS: How can you appreciate this? Jericho picking up Edge now....CODEBREAKER!

MS: If Edge wasn't done before, he is now.

1....2....3.

LG: Edge has been eliminated. Competitor #8....Samoa Joe!

Tazz: As much as I like Jericho picking up the scraps, my all time favourite...next to myself of course, Samoa Joe. Here's a guy that's in it to win it.

JS: Jericho trying to throw forearms at Joe but they are just glancing off of him. Joe hooking him with a t-bone suplex!

Tazz: Gee! I wonder where he learned that from.....

MS: Quciker than Tazz's wit, Joe's going in for the Kokena Clutch...or Tazzmission if you prefer.

Tazz: Either or will do.

JS: With no where to go, this one's academic...

LG: Chris Jericho has been eliminated. Competitor #9....Mr. Kennedy!

Tazz: Alright. Fresh meat for Joe. You know, I almost feel bad for Kennedy.

MS: Kennedy, injury prone or not is almost guaranteed injury against Joe!

JS: Kennedy backing off though, he enters the ring but is waiting for Joe to come to him.

MS: Good call. Joe is used to opponents trying their hand at upending him.

Tazz: Doesn't matter. A predator on the prowl is still a predator.

JS: Kennedy ducking everything Joe throws at him, snags the arm of Joe and whips him into the corner. Kennedy charges....shoulder tackle in the corner driving the air out of Joe!

MS: Smart move to wind the big man.

Tazz: Don't be so sure....

JS: Kennedy goes for it again....but Joe makes it out of the way in time causing Kennedy to catch nothing but ring post.

Tazz: told ya!

JS: Kennedy being hoisted onto the top turnbuckle...

MS: could it be muscle buster time?!

Tazz: You bet your imitation Rolex it is Matt!

JS: Kennedy just got back from shoulder surgery recently. This could take him out for even more months!

Tazz: Whether it takes him out for months or not, it does take him out of this match.

LG: Here's your winner.....SAMOA JOE!

Tazz: Ha! He played the field, beat them at their own game and came out on top. Kind of reminds me of me at that age.

JS: You can remember that far back?

Ms: That's all the time we have for this week, join us next week as GWA's top stars compete to Seek out the championships and Destroy each other all leading up to Seek and Destroy on June 21st! Good night everybody!

Thank you, and my apologies in regards to Christian but I had a slightly different route planned for him.

Thank you! ;D

Edit: Episode 2 is already in the works. Two semi final match, a lottery match to determine Joe's opponent and I'm thinking of throwing in a tv title division match just to pad it out better.

Now that my vacation has been moved back about 3 weeks I'm starting to regret having a ppv this early
