Pro Wrestling GENESIS: The Reboot

Pro Wrestling GEN, "AfterBurn" 11/3/11
Live! From Nashville, TN

- To kick off the return show, Commissioner Teddy Long walked to the ring, thanking all of the fans for coming and watching on TV, saying that this night marks the beginning of a new day for GEN. He then introduced the commentators, John Layfield and Booker T, who made their entrances and sat behind their desk.

1. World Heavyweight Championship Tournament - Round 1: William Regal vs. Santino Marella
- Santino Marella amused the crowd with his antics before the match, but showed a side of him we’ve never seen, as he turned serious as William Regal made his way to the ring, scowl and all. The to wrestled around on the ground for most of the match, before Marella got the advantage, kicking Regal in the head, before setting up for The Cobra! Regal got to his feet, turning around, dodging the Cobra as it struck! Regal spun out, cracking Marella with a huge left punch, sending Marella crumpling to the mat! Regal grabbed Santino, locking him into the Regal Stretch, but Marella was defenseless, as the referee called the match!

- We cut to a dirty, desolate street in Miami, Florida. We pan over to see to Ricky Ortiz, sitting at a table outside of a restaurant, wearing large sunglasses, talking to another man across the table from him. The two look around, before the man hands him a wad of money. Ortiz looks around again, before reaching into this pocket, handing him a packet with a white substance in it. The two shake hands, before the man walks away. Ortiz looks down at his money, smiling, before he grabs a glass in front of him, taking a long drink.

2. World Heavyweight Championship Tournament - Round 1: JTG vs. Ricky Ortiz
- Ricky Ortiz and JTG traded back and forth the entire match, with JTG almost winning the match with Da Shout Out, but Ortiz gained back control of the match, before hitting the Big O to win the match.

- A video is played, promotion Thomas Daniels, claiming a proclamation, a call to rise, saying he will bring a revolution to wrestling. Before the video could finish, it is cut out by static, before “Sex, Drugs, and Rock N Roll” cuts in, as the video focuses on GEN veteran Tim Phoenix, highlighting his multiple title wins with Cody Rhodes and their night life, women and champagne. The video ends, clearly showing the differences between Daniels’ and Phoenix’s attitudes going into the match.

3. World Heavyweight Championship Tournament - Round 1: Trevor Murdoch vs. Wade Barrett
- In a bare fisted brawl, Trevor Murdoch and Wade Barrett was nothing but a fight, throwing a huge number of punches and kicks. Neither man backed down, as the two came close to knocking each other out several times, until Barrett got the advantage, punching Murdoch in the nose, sending him staggering, giving Barrett the opportunity to put Trevor on his shoulders, looking for the Wasteland, but Trevor slipped out of it! Barrett turned, greeted by a knee to the gut. Trevor grabbed Barrett, before flipping over, hitting the Ace Of Spades! Trevor held on for the pin… winning the match!

4. World Heavyweight Championship Tournament - Round 1: Thomas Daniels vs. Tim Phoenix
- The clash of mind-sets between Thomas Daniels and Tim Phoenix was blatant during their match, as Daniels attempted to teardown Phoenix with everything he had, but Phoenix’s constant backing off and sliding out of the ring stalled Daniels’ offense. The last time Phoenix reeled out of the ring, calling for a time out, Daniels followed, grabbing him and throwing him back into the ring. Phoenix attempted to crawl back out of the ring, but was caught by Daniels, who kept him down, hitting several backbreakers and elbows, before hitting a Gibson Driver, covering Phoenix to win the match!

- We cut backstage, where Mercennario and Justin Tyger are talking, discussing their upcoming matches. A man from the TV crew runs up to Merc, telling him to head towards the ring. Tyger wishes Merc luck, as the shake hands.

5. World Heavyweight Championship Tournament - Round 1: Brutus Magnus vs. Mercennario
- Brutus Magnus and Mercennario battled in a very back and forth match, trading moves and shots, going to a stalemate. The two kept meeting in the middle, but kept hitting a wall when neither man could gain the control. Desperation began kicking in, when the two exchanged a series of roll ups and cradles, all getting two counts. As the two stood up, Merc caught Magnus with a huge kick to the head! Magnus slumped over, as Merc lifted him up, locking his arms and twisting over, attempting an Unprettier, but Magnus spun out of it, cracking Merc in the back of the head with an elbow! Merc’s eyes glossed over, as he began to fall over, but Magnus caught him, picking him up, hitting a Mag Daddy Driver, pinning Merc to win the match! After the match, Magnus helped Merc up, before the two shook hands!

- A video package airs, recounting the friendship and joking antics of Justin Tyger and Jack Kenzer. A singles match between them that went to a time limit draw is recapped, followed by them shaking hands. We cut to a spilt screen backstage, where Tyger and Kenzer are walking down separate hallways, headed towards the ring for the main event match.

6. World Heavyweight Championship Tournament - Round 1: Justin Tyger vs. Jack Kenzer
- The two friends from past in GEN, Justin Tyger and Jack Kenzer met up once again. Their last match in GEN went to a time limit draw, a match that was even the entire duration. The two started the match shaking hands, before locking up in the middle of the ring. Tyger took Kenzer down to the mat, trying to lock different submissions on him, a change from the usual Tyger, as he tried to keep Kenzer from using his speed and high flying. Tyger kept control, until Kenzer busted free from him, keeping Tyger off guard, hitting moves as fast as he could. Tyger got momentum, as he dodged Kenzer, before throwing a Body Solebutt, that Kenzer also dodged! Kenzer capitalized, hitting a loud Superkick! Tyger fell to the mat, as Kenzer covered him.. for a two count! Kenzer quickly rolled to the apron, as Tyger staggered to his feet. Kenzer bounced off the top rope, flying inside the ring, looking for his signature Springboard Hurricanrana, but Tyger caught him, hitting a huge Powerbomb! Tyger fell onto Kenzer, pinning him… for a two count! Tyger shook off the cobwebs as he picked Kenzer off the mat, before lifting him in the air, hitting a Northern Lights Bomb, covering Kenzer to win! Tyger celebrated, before checking on Kenzer, who was stumbling to his feet. The two stared off before they shook hands, as the show ended.
