EPISODE #1 | MGM GRAND GARDEN ARENA, LAS VEGAS NEVADA | JULY 2ND, 2012
[/b]
“IT ALL STARTS HERE...”[/i]
The show begins with a view of the TWD Arena. Quite a new look from the new company. A black mat
tops the black aprons, and the ropes are a gold-like color that fade into a darker gold on the way down. A very classy display. The MGM Grand Garden Arena is filled to capacity, awaiting the arrival of the three most dominant figures in professional wrestling. The crowd is electric, when all of the sudden an unfamiliar music hits the PA system, and out of the fog steps Dixie Carter, Paul Heyman, and Vince McMahon.
They make their way to the ring and upon entering Mr. McMahon grabs a microphone. “Ladies and gentleman, on the behalf of The Wrestling Dynasty, let me welcome you to our TV debut show, ‘Conquest’”. “What you are seeing here today has been history in the making for many years now. It was inevitable. As the popularity of professional wrestling has taken a downward turn, it became evident that the only way to ensure the survival of this sport was to finally unite. This may be hard news to loyalists of the companies represented here today, but I assure you that we are entering this venture with a clear goal at hand, and that goal is to provide all of you, and the millions watching at home with a competent, polished product.”
The crowd went wild over these remarks, and after Vince was done, Heyman took the microphone. “Well well well, the bastard child of american wrestling is finally back home!” Crowd goes wild. “It’s been a long time coming, and we all knew that no one could have guessed this, but it feels right, and we are all very excited to bring you guys something new--something special”. Heyman closed out as Dixie grabbed the mic.
“What you see before you is a brand new concept in professional wrestling. Unlike the buy out of WCW, this venture brings us all three together for the purpose of providing the most entertaining product possible. The best talent from TNA and WWE join together here to see who will be dominant in this company. Our talent policy as it stands right now is an open door. Anyone who has the talent to make it here will get a chance, but we do have a contracted roster that we will reveal to you guys right now.”
Mr. McMahon and Dixie read over the roster, and the crowd goes wild. It is packed with stars of today, and those rising up the ranks currently.
“Without any further delay,” Mr. McMahon announces, “we will begin the show. The following matches were drawn at random, and will determine the champions of TWD, LIVE for you fans tonight!”
The three exit the ring and the matches begin with Michael Cole, Mike Tenay, and Jerry Lawler calling the show...
MATCH #1 | TELEVISION CHAMPIONSHIP | ABYSS vs. BIG SHOWWhat better way for the biggest project in professional wrestling to begin than to have two of the biggest wrestlers duke it out for the TV title? The match began with Abyss gaining the upper hand. Some heavy strikes delivered to Big Show by Abyss. However; they proved to not be enough as Big Show slammed Abyss with full force. Abyss’ attempts to over power Big Show were quickly countered in the beginning. Abyss was able to come back and deliever a few crucial blows and slams to Big Show. The two left the ring and Abyss slammed Big Show right on the mat! A brutal neckbreaker was enough to get Big Show to think twice about this match. Big Show got back to his feet and sent Abyss back in the ring. Big Show performed a few submission holds in an attempt to out manuever Abyss. This enfuriated Abyss, and out of nowhere, got Big Show with a devastating Black Hole Slam!
PRESENTING YOUR FIRST TWD TELEVISION CHAMPION, ABYSS! “THE SHOW HAS ENDED...”[/i]
After the match Abyss was shown in the ring by himself, celebrating his victory. Abyss grabbed a microphone. “Big Show, there is only room for one of us here in TWD. Your time as the big man on campus is over. You think this was pain?! This was pleasure for me Big Show.. I suggest you go ahead and run and hide, because if I see you again, it will be a hell of a lot worse!”
MATCH #2 | TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP | KOFI KINGSTON & R-TRUTH vs. CHAVO GUERRERO & SIN CARAA whirlwind of a match presented to us here in this bout. Both teams widely reknowned for the abilities in the ring. Chavo and Truth began the match. Fast paced blows and help from Kingston set the pace in the very beginning. Kingston takes the lead in the ring with Chavo. Chavo exited the ring and delivered an brutal Atomic Drop on to the unsuspecting R-Truth, and Kingston attacked Sin Cara. Chavo entered again and tagged in Sin Cara. Sin Cara’s speed seemed to hold R-Truth off long enough, but Truth retaliated with some very hard hitting blows. Truth went for a pin but only got a 1. Truth hit a devastating neckbreaker and went for the pin once again, but was interrupted by Chavo. All 4 men were in the ring battling, but quickly retreated by orders of the ref. Kingston and Chavo entered, and Kingston made short work of Chavo. Kingston got a 2 count but Chavo kicked. Kingston worked on Chavo;s back for awhile, and then delivered a vicious flying splash from the side of the top rope for the 3 count.
PRESENTING YOUR FIRST TWD TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS, KOFI KINGSTON & R-TRUTH!“DAZED AND CONFUSED...”[/i]
After the match Chavo and Sin Cara were shown walking up the ramp, looking pretty torn up. This match sure took a toll on them, and it looked like they were very upset.
MATCH #3 | X-DIVISION CHAMPIONSHIP | AUSTIN ARIES vs. REY MYSTERIONot only would this prove to be a sure fire hit with the fans, it also marks yet another moment in history, as this match would be the first time that Austin Aries and Rey Mysterio would face each other in the ring. The match began in Mysterio’s favor, as he made incredibly short work of Aries, but this didn’t keep Aries down for long, a vicious backbreaker did some hefty damage to Mysterio. But bouncing back like the former Champion he is, Mysterio delivered some high kicks and submissions to Aries. After regaining himself Aries deliver a disrespectful slap to the humble Mysterio followed by yet another backbreaker. The two traded vicious chops, and Aries delivered a vicous roundhouse kick to Mysterio. A russian leg-sweep followed by a standing moonsault got Mysterio a 2 count. He then followed up with a front flip leg drop from the top rope.. and then a hurricanrana from the top as well. Both did immense damage to Aries. Mysterio set Aries in the corner, and performed a deadly belly to back suplex from the top. Mysterio has always been at home up there. After a kick into the ropes, a horrifyingly stiff 619 got Mysterio the 3 count in this bout.
PRESENTING YOUR FIRST TWD X-DIVISION CHAMPION, REY MYSTERIO!“RESPECT IS A VIRTUE...”[/i]
After the match, Rey grabbed a microphone, with Aries already making his way to the back. “Aries! You have a lot of guts, a lot of nerve to come in here and disrespect me the way you did. I am a made man, I earned the right to compete for this title, and I won in fairness of the sport. The way you act shows that you are nothing more than a little boy, and you are not ready for this title.” Aries responded, “Excuse me, Jose.. can you please just shut your mouth? I totally let you win the match, it’s all part of my plan. I am the best X-Divison wrestler the world has to offer, and you’ll find that out soon enough. Piece of shxt...” Mysterios’s jaw dropped as he realized everything he said went in one ear and out the other.
MATCH #4 | INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPIONSHIP | DANIEL BRYAN vs. AJ STYLESWhat would be a dream match if Bryan and Styles hadn’t fought it out in Ring of Honor, the two met again in TWD, this time for the prized intercontinental championship. The match began with some very stiff trading of strikes, bringing back memories of their ROH days. The two performed a few chain maneuvers, and Bryan took the lead. AJ takes his place back with a vicious dropkick that surely dazed him. Bryan attempting a rear submission hold, met the famous elbows of Styles. AJ slung Bryan into the corner, and performed a hard hitting belly to back suplex that landed Bryan right on his neck. Bryan slowly recovered and the two met in the middle of the ring, in an intense stare-down. Bryan hit a couple stiff elbows and a backbreaker. AJ got back to his feet and kicked Bryan in the stomach, doubling him over, and nailed a perfect dropkick to Bryan’s unprotected skull. Bryan on the mat, AJ delivered another textbook example of his Spiral Tap, and proceeded that with an ankle lock. After a Styles Clash, AJ got the 3 count!
PRESENTING YOUR FIRST TWD INTERCONTINENTAL CHAMPION. AJ STYLES!“HONORABLE...”[/i]
After the match Styles and Bryan shook hands, however the look in their eyes afterward would lead one to believe that this isn’t the last time the two will meet in the TWD ring.
“THERE’S A TRAIN-A-COMIN..”[/i]
Before his match with Cena, Lesnar was shown in the back stretching and preparing. Jeremy Borash found him and asks him how he feels, knowing that he is facing Cena yet again, especially with the heat between them. “Cena is a punk bxtch. He knows it. He thinks he’s hot shxt around here and I’m more than ready to prove him wrong. Cena dies tonight...” Lesnar’s cue is up and security escorts him to the ring.
MATCH #5 | DYNASTY CHAMPIONSHIP | BROCK LESNAR vs. JOHN CENA[/i]
Now for the main event... a match that would bring a clear cut winner to the real life feud that is Brock Lesnar and John Cena. Brock quickly took advantage of the situation, forcing Cena into a mat based wrestling match. Brock’s MMA style shone through as he delivered some vicious takedowns and submission holds. Cena did recover however and sent Lesnar in the corner. Lesnar upside down, Cena attacked with a sliding dropkick to Brock’s skull. A fireman’s carry by Cena did little to Lesnar, and Lesnar retaliated with another chest crushing takedown. Lesnar continued with his techincal wrestling skills, until Cena hit the Thesz Press with a couple strikes to Lesnar. Cena retaliated with a tilt-a-whirl. Lesnar’s intense drive wouldn’t let him stay down, and he hit a deadly back-to-back that sent Cena’s feet over his head, his chest onto the mat. A huge series of clotheslines devastated Cena, but Cena came back with a takedown of his own, and even a top rope leg drop. Cena hits the Attitude Adjustment and gets the 3 count.
PRESENTING YOUR FIRST TWD DYNASTY CHAMPION, JOHN CENA!“YOU MAY HAVE WON THE BATTLE...”[/i]
Before Cena could even leave the ring, Brock was back on his feet. Lesnar could be heard screaming, “How does it feel now Cena?! You wanna be a big man? You wanna make it real?!” Cena smiles and tries to exit but Lesnar quickly grabbed him and hit a deadly F5. Security ran into the ring to try and break the two up but Lesnar just shoved them all away. Lesnar was setting up for another F5, when he heard something... “Brock.” It was Heyman. Lesnar dumped Cena to the mat, and slowly exited the ring, hate filled in his eyes.
