GoldPush August 23, 2004 Fukuoka,Japan

The WpWtron shows DVA’s office, where she is sitting at her desk. She’s dressed in a black business suit. Dominique Vanessa Anthony WpW’s new interim CEO addresses the viewers.

DVA: Welcome to GoldPush! This is an exciting time for WpW and our wrestling audience and an especially exciting time for me as I have been named CEO of WpW finally. I will not use this time to gloat as the past CEO, Tyger Lilly was horrendously attacked at Heatwave. Our prayers are with her, however WpW must go on. Tonight WpW begins it’s 2nd annual GoldPush World Tour and to kick things off we are establishing a new championship, The Continental Title Tournament will decide the newest champion over the next couple of months. Our first round matches begin tonight as this is our biggest GoldPush to date to coincide with my becoming CEO. Sit back and enjoy the show as WpW presents 9 exciting matches and there will be one more statement from me at the end of the night. Thank you.

Continental Title Tournament Brackets

GoldPush usual opening begins then the camera pan the sold out arena in Fukuoka, Japan WpW’s commentators Allen Rozell and Candice Callaway are shown at ringside.

CC: Welcome everyone to the first leg of this year’s GoldPush World Tour. We’re coming to you from Japan and Allen we’re also coming off a rather successful pay-per-view event, Heatwave: Minneapolis Meltdown.

AR: My little flower WpW has continued to grow since Wrestival earlier this year and Heatwave was no letdown at all.

CC: Later tonight we’ll be talking more about what went down at Heatwave and even showing some still photos from the event, be sure you order the replay as it runs all month long on pay per view. Allen, We can announce that there is a NEW WPW World Champion!

AR: That is right my little flower, The Striken defeated PDJ in their Tables, Ladders and Chairs Main Event.

CC: And we came so close to a new Big Gold Champion at Heatwave in what many have called the match of the night.

AR: You have to order the reply to witness Rey vs. Lee if you missed it.

CC: So much other action and surprises that happened at Heatwave and I’m sure we’ll talk about them as the night goes on but right now as custom when there is a new WpW World Champion, we will have a ring ceremony and I’ve been told to expect something different than previous ring ceremonies.

"Always" by Saliva hits mid-chorus and the crowd responds just as the lyrics "I just can't LIVE without You!!!!" are sung. At that moment from the backstage area emerges the enigmatic man known as Striken. The Striken wearing no make-up, and all black as he makes his appearance, and to the fans in the arena. They applaud him. He nods to the Japanese crowd as he makes his way to ringside. Dressed to kill in a dark suit, sport coat, slacks, shined up shoes with hand in pocket and mic in other hand The Striken climbs the steps and enters the ring. As the music hits its crescendo streamers come down and flood the ring. the various Japanese ring crew throw more streamers towards The newest WPW World Champion. It makes for an impressive sight as many photos are being taken by the Asian crowd.

[[The man known in wrestling circles as Striken then literally circles the ring strewn with long paper-mâché’ streamers as Japan custom during big cards, before he speaks. he initially pauses soaking in the respectful response of the crowd.]]

Striken: I myself, stand before these Japanese people atop WPW’s mountain top. Oh for you see that is not a surprise by many. They understood months ago this was to be. They understood it far better than these Japanese people here today. I, myself stand here in a foreign country not expecting you people to understand a word of English and here’s hoping the wrestlers in the back do not make fools of themselves and play to the crowds as though it were an American arena. Heh. But my time here at the outset of tonight’s program is specifically to the viewers at home where English is spoken. WPW Heatwave saw a glorious night in wrestling action it even bared witness to Patrick Derek Jefferson if but for one night truly become a main event superstar. Deemed by many as a low level mid-tier player. If but for one night he had to raise his game to the Main Event level. I, myself paid him respect if but for one night. For months, I myself single-handedly carried this man of broken street, hood English to the Main Event level by one simple action. A Chair shot to his back. And four simple words. “I have your back.” At Heatwave he re-paid the favor to fan’s delight with a chair shot of his own. Ahh Yesssssss but...His plan in total was to repay me with a loss. Avenge a loss he suffered to me at the very start of his WPW career. A plan which ultimately failed in its completion. He learned a valuable lesson that soon another contender may have to learn. I, myself only am defeated when I deem it my night to step down!

[[Striken gives a look to the crowd as he unbuttons his jacket to reveal the shiny WPW World Championship title belt around his waist the Japanese crowd “Ahhhhhhh‘s“]]

Striken: This is what is the recognized symbol of WPW’s greatest championship. The WPW World Championship. As you take a look at this title. Let’s mentally take a look at the other titles the ones not so great as this. The Big Gold title to which the winner instantly grows a Big Ego upon winning it. First there was Jesse Williams and his “defend when only I choose to attitude” passed down to the worst Big Man wrestler ever to step foot in WPW. The Hapless, Lost Soul whose ego grew to enormous proportions luckily he did not last long as he merely made it to his FIRST defense before his pre-maturely enlarged ego was deflated. And now the championship rests in the arms of a man who has the worst judgment of anyone in WPW history and just believe me on that, his real-life run ins, make that ego-trips with a man named Soprano and Blazenwing not to mention his choices in stablemates just to give a couple of examples. This Big Gold Champion’s name? Christopher Lee. No, not the famed 70’s Dracula and Star Wars’ Count Dooku actor....but ‘The Icon’ Chris Lee. A man who has conned himself into believing he is the second best in WPW because he is Big Gold Champion. A title to which has corrupted the minds of all who’ve captured that championship. The Championship that goes to EVERY CHAMPION’S head in it’s short history. It’s value? Very little compared to the WPW World Champion and even so in many minds that are not holding the Big Gold title it is below the All-Time Television Champion.

[[A gleem comes to The Striken’s face.]]

Striken:: The Championship I, myself single-handedly made a title that was coveted. A championship to which many wrestlers far and wide finally sought after once my name was etched in it’s history once again shortly before Wrestival this year. A title whose hands now rests in the arms of a man who claims himself a “Legend”, legendary, but the only thing legendary about it’s Mystical holder at this time is his now legendary WPW temper tantrums and cry-baby attitude. Another legacy tarnished by a man’s own words and misdeeds. Ahhh Yesss that statement is for those in the back to enjoy and not for the many minions watching at home. We shall see if it’s Mystical holder can do what needs to be done against a true crop of foes in his defense this week. If he, himself can over come it then he will have accomplished something of legend of say...Striken proportions but until then he is not in my league far below and he himself can only fool himself in believing otherwise. Not in my league but in the same company. My prediction, He will fold under pressure as all the over-inflated egomaniacal cry-babies have in WPW that I‘ve had the enjoyment of watching wilt. Which leads me to the WPW World Championship and it’s history. Ego-maniacal? What wrestler in WPW’s history best suits that anachronism? Of course. The first champion, a man named Dynamic Dynamite! A man who has graced WPW airwaves again over the past couple weeks since Heatwave. Strike that, Disgraced. Is he here tonight? Heh. We shall see later on. A man who carried the WPW World Title I hold however I defeated in the tournament. Hmmm. One never heard any cries from I myself about that and nor shall you tonight. A Striken Earned victory and proud of it. Wonder if Dynamite is proud of his conduct after being exposed for being a lesser wrestler both in ring and out of ring than I? heh. I myself and others know the answer of his famed unprofessional attitude and crying.

[[Striken nods.]]

Striken:: Even below this fennier of evil and viciousness to which I, myself have been characterized since allowing Patrick Derek Jefferson’s back to “meet a chair up close and person” therein lies something to which I was instilled with and that is....Class. Before Dynamite’s grand WPW World Title run there was my victory on him. For his run could have never been. One never heard me complain. Ponder that. Served a bogus suspension after being framed by a WPW Board Member and the rest is history. I bring this up to point out the WPW World Title really has never had a champion to which REALLY earned his place as it’s #1 star....until Heatwave. I shall not rundown Patrick Derek Jefferson anymore than I already have up to Heatwave. He defeated a Dynamite, who by his own admission was not at his best unlike my victory on him. So, we come to WPW’s 3rd World Champion. Third times the charm and WPW’s THIRD World Champion is it’s most grandest and deserved. One need only look at my record in WPW. There are no defeats, only victories and those victories were many cases hard fought but in all cases EARNED. The word “Earned” you will hear a great deal more from me in the coming weeks but for now remember who is Undefeated in WPW. I myself am. Could this be what brought out the masses to try and attain the All-Time TV title when I was champion? Possibly but that is not for me to say. Undefeated Champions can bring strength to championships then again they can also ruin them.

[[Striken pauses before continuing.]]

Striken:: Oh yessssssssss, One last Championship in WPW I refrained from discussing. The Tag team titles. For you see, I myself gave my brother Stryker an opportunity to join forces and stand side by side with him. He decided to go it alone and for that his reward is to be stuck in a land to which he has no more challengers and no peer. After demolishing the lowly Devastation, there literally is no one banging on the door to face Shawn Stryker. A Champion considered by potential foes as so strong they would rather pass on the chance to be humiliated. Possibly a good call on their part. Not a man such as I, my self's place to say. And so that concludes my rundown of the WPW Championships. Those much wiser than this Asiatic crowd know of another. Continents away they know of it’s coming. A New Championship. One to which hasn’t found it’s keeper as of yet. With that I, myself will remain silent about at this time but I, myself am quite sure the CONTENDERS will do their best to win it.

[[At that time Striken unhooks his WPW World Championship belt. He then folds it and holds it to his side.]]

Striken:: In speaking of contenders and now that I have broken down all other titles except the one to which is now UNQUESTIONABLY it’s most valuable I turn to the next World title Contender. In fact, Why don’t I let him begin his own person quest to make a fool of himself by letting him walk out here right now and address me? Ahhh yess The Man Called Grrr....GOOFUS. Fukuoka JAPAN! Let’s hear it for GOOFUS, Come on, say it with me my asian friends.... GOOFUS, GOOFUS, GOOFUS!

[[The Japanese crowd picks up on this and begins saying ‘Goofus’, ‘Goofus’, ‘Goofus’ along with Striken as he chuckles amusingly as they chant. This is a page out of Striken’s playbook to which WPW has never seen before from him. “The Man Called Goofus.” ]]

CC: What is Striken doing? GRENDEL isn’t scheduled to be here tonight.

AR: Don’t you mean Goofus?

CC: No I mean GRENDEL, Striken is calling making a mockery of GRENDEL tonight, when he isn’t even here to defend himself, that is low, even for the champ.

(All of the sudden "More Human, Than Human" by White Zombie begins to blar over the loud speakers….the words "The Man" flash across the screen, followed by "The Myth", then "The Legend", then "The Man They Call" GRENDEL…..Several action shots of GRENDEL follow…..Then out walks GRENDEL onto the entrance ramp with a mic in his hand as he begins to speak….. The Japanese crowd notices GRENDEL and starts to chant "Goofus" even louder to the amusement of the Striken…..)

GRENDEL: Hold up, wait just a cotton picking minute here. Go ahead and live it up Striken, have you fun and games. Start the Goofus and Gallant chants again. I for one will not have it. You thought you covered all your bases, you thought you did your homework. You thought that since I wasn’t booked on the show tonight, that I wouldn’t make the trip to Japan, well you thought wrong. Your match with PDJ at Heatwave was one for the record books. I for one am glad that you are the one standing in that ring tonight to receive your world title ring, cause sooner rather than later you and I will step into the squared circle one on one and that my friend will go down in history. It will go down in history as the day GRENDEL walks away with the WpW World Championship around his waist.

AR: GRENDEL is here in Japan, who knew?

CC: Not I, the number one contender is letting the champ know that he isn’t backing down.

AR: GRENDEL is gunning for the gold, my little flower.

GRENDEL: Don’t worry I didn’t fly all the way over to the land of the rising son to disturb you little ring ceremony. That ain’t my style. Now I know you already know it, but I am the number one guy in this company gunning for you. You are one hell of a wrestler and you know how to play the mind games. That’s why you’re the world champ. So go ahead live it up, enjoy your ring ceremony, cause I’ll have my day soon enough.

(With that being said "More Human Than Human" begins to play again as GRENDEL drops the mic on the entrance ramp ala Chris Rock and turns and walks to the back….)

AR: GRENDEL making his intentions known.

CC: I concur, lets get back to the Champion now..

[[As the music dies back down, inside the squared circle, The Striken smiles.]]

Striken: Thought Goofus wouldn’t be here? Didn’t I,myself just call you out? Didn’t do my homework? There is no question I’ve done my homework on YOU Grendel. The only one dumbfounded is the “Man called GOOFUS“. Patrick Derek Jefferson was elevated to respectable status at Heatwave. Ignore his comic book catch ripped off phrases; It’s time for Grendel to enter reality because in his reality he must not do much to win championships. In WPW and against the world’s best that’s not the way it goes. If you people want to make this villain vs hero. If you,yourselves want to make Grendel the hero. That is your mistake, my friends. Yessssss, Earlier I, myself called you people of Fukuoka, Japan “friends”.

[[Striken then pulls his concealed hand from his pocket showing a huge ring adorned on it. The crowd goes “ahhhhhh”.]]

Striken:: The WPW Championship Ring. Only three men own one. I, myself am one of them but to you...people in this arena and even watching at home...I present you a gift as well...

[[The Striken smirks and one by one pulls down his fingers of the hand his ring is on. FLIPPING OFF THE CROWD with the WPW Championship Ring on his middle finger.]]

Striken:: In the spirit of this GoldPush...I give you a big....

FUK.........

U.......

OK!!!!!!!!!!!

[[The crowd responds with adoration for what they perceive as the WPW World Champion’s mention of their city of Fukuoka, Japan.]]

CC: How despicable!

AR: I thought it was funny my little flower.

CC: You would.

AR: The fans didn’t seem to have a problem with Striken.

CC: They didn’t know what he was saying. Allen, before we move to get to our matches any thoughts on what the newly crowned World Champion just said and Grendel’s appearance?

AR: Striken’s rundown of the championship situation really can’t be disputed very much and I believe Grendel picked himself up a new nickname as a souvenir of his visit to Japan.

CC: As we promised everyone, Let’s take a look at some still shots from Heatwave from the grueling Big Gold Title Draw that occurred between ‘Icon’ Chris Lee and iRey.

AR: It was only the second draw in WpW history.

(A short video package is shown quickly covering Heatwave then the focus turns to the Big Gold title match and still shots of the Hardcore Rules Big Gold Title match are shown but it is interrupted as....)

**The lights go dim and a missile is heard speeding towards it target. A explosion of pyrotechnics explode at the top of the ramp just as the it sounds as if the phantom missile is going to hit its target. The guitar riff to Bad to the bone starts to play and Rick Vaughn walks out to the top of the ramp to an eruption of boos. Rick stands at the top of the ramp and sneers at the crowd with one arm raised in the air. He is clad in blue jeans, rattlesnake skin boots, a AC/DC highway to hell T-shirt and his trade mark leather vest.**

CC: What is he doing out here, for that matter what is he even doing in Japan? He isn’t scheduled to wrestle.

AR: I don’t know, we will need to wait and see.

**The crowd’s jeers towards Vaughn have yet to settle down as the guitar riff screams out the PA system**

CC: **Sarcastic** It seems the love for Vaughn is international.

**Rick walks down the ramp, but instead of going to the ring, he walks around it to the announcers table. Rick grabs a headset and sits down at the table, much to the dismay of Candice and Roz.**

CC: What do you think you are doing?

Vaughn: Well, honey, I figured since I wasn’t in the ring this week, I would come out here and liven up the show. Roz here is what? ……….. 105 and you….Well…..you’re a blond… I figured I come out here and tell the truth about these matches. I am tired of you two snoring me to death each and every week and I am sure the people at home are to.

AR: My god, you smell like alcohol. Your drunk!

Vaughn: And your ugly, but tomorrow morning, I will be sober.

CC: That will be enough, I am going to have to ask you to leave.

Vaughn:**Looking over at CC** Go ahead, ask me out, ya know you wanna.

CC: Okay, get out!

Vaughn: Oh, your quite the wit aren’t you. Well, maybe only half of that.

CC:**Rolls eyes and looks away**

AR: Would you please…**Cut off by Rick before he can finish**

Vaughn: If I throw a stick, will you leave?

CC: We have a Continental Tournament to begin.

Vaughn: Don’t let me interrupt.

AR: You already have interrupted the Big Gold Title situation we were reviewing.

Vaughn: Won’t be the last time either. I am #1 contender.

CC: Let’s go up to the ring.

RA:– This match is for one fall and advancement to the second round of the Continental Tournament. First, standing at 6’4 at 245 pounds STRYKER GRAFF!

**“Battle Without Honor or Humanity” hits the PA system and as the song picks up, Stryker appears on the ramp with that trademark grin of his as he arrogantly makes his way down to the ring. He slides under the bottom rope and then climbs the corner turnbuckle, making the fans recognize and acknowledge who he is. The crowd lets out a burst of boos.**

AR: Stryker Graff got a rap sheet a mile long.

Vaughn: He’d steal the straw from his mother’s kennel.

(Jesus Walks by Kanye West plays and Rey walks out in his wrestling attire, which consist of black tights with Honor on both sides in red letters. A large black cross is tatted on his whole front torso. He slaps hands with the audience and runs towards the ring sliding head first under the bottom ropes. In the middle of the ring he lifts both arms up and puts his head down soaking in all the cheers.)

AR: These two are set to go at it. Rey is coming off a fantastic match with Chris Lee that went to a draw which we just saw a little of.

Roxy Adams – His opponent the HONOR OF WPW! Standing at 5’11 at 200 pounds Reynaldo “The Honorable One” Sanchez.

Vaughn: I think his father was a boxer.

CC: Really, I did not know that.

Vaughn: and his mother was a Dalmatian.

**Candice just cups her hands over her face and hangs her head down in dis-belief.**

**The ref calls for the bell and the two men lock up. Rey is able to back Graff up into the corner and the ref calls for a clean break and gets it. Rey stands in the center of the ring as Graff circles him. They lock up again and Stryker is able to get a wrist lock on Rey. Rey circles Graff smacking his own shoulder with his free hand as Graff sinks in the pressure. Sanchez manages to get his body up against Graff and push him off into the ropes. Graff comes back with a clothesline, but Rey ducks under it. Stryker comes back and Sanchez drops down tripping to Graff to the floor. Sanchez quickly is on top of him and grabs him into a face lock. Graff gets his foot to the rope and the ref ask for a break.**

AR: Fast and furious in the starting minutes of this match.

Vaughn: 10 miles per hour is fast to you old man. Your so old your social security number is 1.

** The two men lock up again and this time Graff sends Rey for a ride toward the ropes, Graff goes for a back body drop, but Rey flips over and lands on his feet. Graff looks out into the crowd for approval, thinking Sanchez to be on the mat, but Rey hits him from behind sending him face first into the turnbuckle. Graff stumbles back out of the corner and Sanchez quickly grabs him and from behind and delivers a suplex. Rey quickly grabs Graff’s leg and goes for an ankle lock. Stryker reaches for the robes, but can not reach them. He inches his way over, getting closer…..And closer….But Rey drags him back to the center of the ring.**

CC: He was so close to getting to the ropes.

**Rey lifts the ankle lock high in the air and slams the knee back down into the mat. Then again. As he goes for it a third time, Graff turns and is able to kick Sanchez off with his free leg sending Rey chest first into the corner. Graff, hobbled, waits for Sanchez to rebound from out of the corner and locks in a inverted face lock into a DDT. Graff, pulls himself up with the ropes. Its obvious he is having trouble walking.**

Vaughn: It is the quintessential one legged man in an ass kicking contest.

**Graff, quickly drops down on top of Sanchez and goes for the cover.**

AR: So close.

CC: Rey was just able to kick out.

**Graff looks at the ref and slaps the mat 3 times asking for a quick count. He is able to get to his feet a little better and pulls Rey up. Quickly snatching him in, he delivers a belly to belly suplex. Standing up, he drops an elbow and again goes for a quick cover.**

Vaughn: Not even close this time. Rey gets his foot on the ropes. He is going for the pin to quick.

**Graff jumps up and starts screaming at the ref. The ref points to the ropes where Rey’s foot was. Mad, Graff picks up Rey and send him to the ropes, looking to deliver and forearm, but Rey ducks under, hitting the opposite set of ropes and using the momentum to carry him forward launches into the air and lands a shoulder block cleanly on the chin of Graff. The force of the blow sends Stryker out of the ring and Rey uses the time to shake off the cobwebs. The ref begins to count.**

**Graff stands up dazed, turns his back to the ring and waves off, as if to say he is out of here. Rey, slides under the ropes, grabs Stryker by the back of the head and sends him into the steel ring post. The ref begins his count again.

(1) Graff drops down to one knee.

(2)Rey walks over to him and grabs a hand full of hair raising Stryker up.

(3) Graff lands a fist to the jaw of Rey.

(4) Rey lands a chop to Graff’s chest.

(5) They begin to exchange blows.

(6) Rey begins to get the better of the exchange.

(7) Graff, gives a thumb to the eye and rolls in under the ropes to break the count then back out. He delievers a boot to the mid section.

The ref begins to count again.

(1) Graff removes the padding from around the ring and exposes concrete.

(2) He grabs Rey and sets him up for a pile driver.

(3). He goes to lift Rey, but is blocked.

(4) he tries again, but it is blocked.

(5). Rey, counters with back body drop to the floor and slides in under the ropes, and begins to try and recoup.**

Vaughn: Oooouuucchhh!!!..That looks really painful, better him then me.

AR: Concrete doesn’t give.

Vaughn: Nothing gets by you, Sherlock!

**Rey slides back out under the ropes and throws Graff back in As Rey slides in Graff runs towards him with a big running clothesline. Before Graff takes Rey’s head off, Rey rolls out of the way and Graff hits the turnbuckle chest first. Graff turns around and holds his chest in pain and sees Rey fly at him with a big body splash. The big man a bit stunned walks with a limp towards the middle of the ring. Rey bounces off the ropes and tries another splash towards Graff.)

(NO! Graff catches him in his arms like a baby and lifts him into a torture rack. Rey screams, but Graff sets him up for a back breaker. The smaller man drapes over Graff’s shoulders and Graff drops to one knee putting a large impact on Rey’s lower back. The Japanese crowd gives a small applause to the two move combo. Graff points to the foreign crowd and shouts “I WILL DESTROY THE HONOR OF WPW.” The bigger man turns around to look for Rey, but only to find he is gone. He looks at one of the top ropes and Rey waves at him and jumps on top of him for a HURICANRANNA. Rey goes for the pin.)

(Kick out by Graff.)

(The Japanese crowd gives another small applause. Rey jumps back on the top rope and signals he is going to fly. The Honorable one flies the top rope with a frog splash, but NO! Some how Stryker moves out of the way and Rey lands right on his stomach. Stryker gets up and picks up Rey by the head and sets him up for German Suplex. He hits ONE German Suplex. The crowd counts TWO, a second German suplex. THREE and a third German suplex. Looks like Stryker is getting cocky and going for a forth German suplex and HE DOES.)

AR - Rey is knocked out cold after those four devastating suplex.

(The smaller man lays in the middle of the ring lifeless. Graff goes for the pin.)

(To early for the pin fall as Rey easily kicksout.) Stryker picks up Rey and throws him back into another corner. The big man runs towards Rey with a rising knee attack right into Rey’s throat. Rey gasp for air, while holding his throat. Stryker motions that his foot will be hitting Rey’s chin. Under his breath Rey says “Bring it.” Rey smiles at Stryker and Stryker performs his own Super kick or as he calls it the “Persona Destroyer.” Again Rey is too quick and catches Stryker’s foot. He somehow trips Stryker to the floor by sweeping the other leg and gets an ankle lock on the big man. Stryker screams in pain and the Ref asks him if he gives up. Graff gives a head shake NO. The Japanese crowd claps again as they like what they see.)

AR – I think he calls that one “Pride”

(Graff pushes himself up and reaches the ropes. Ref tells Rey to let go and he does. They meet up in the middle of the ring again, but this time Rey runs towards one of the ropes. Graff tries to spear him, but Rey dives under his legs. Stryker looks around for the smaller man and is hit with a drop toe hold right on to the second rope. His arms and head hang and Rey runs towards the opposite ropes and a 619 right into Stryker’s face. Rey pulls the big man into a corner. Rey yells “REY SAULT!” He jumps from the floor to the second rope to the third rope and NO! Stryker grabs the back of Rey’s head and a BRAIN BUSTER FROM THE TOP ROPE. Somehow Graff got up and drove the back of Rey’s head into the canvas.)

(Finally Graff goes for the pin.)

(Kick out by Rey. Stryker picks up Rey and throws him into the ropes and a powerful spear right into Rey’s sternum. )

AR - The big man has taken control once again over the lightning quick Rey.

(Rey breathes hard as Graff sets him up for his finisher the Grave Danger his signature Death Valley Driver. The smaller man goes for the ride and the GRAVE DANGER on Rey. The ref counts.)

(Again kick out by Rey. The Japanese give another small applause for the two men’s great effort. Stryker seems a bit frustrated. He brings back Rey to one of his favorite corners. Stryker puts his large boot to the throat of Rey. Rey holds the boot and tries to break free. The ref counts to four and tells Stryker to let go. Stryker lets go and is met with a big missile drop kick to his chest. The big man falls back a bit. Rey comes up to him and has a combo of chops and kicks to the large man’s legs. Eventually the bigger man falls and Rey with a standing moonsault. He goes for the cover.)

(No kick out by Graff as he lifts Rey off himself. Graff gets up quickly and looks at Rey and simply picks him up over his shoulders for a body press. He walks towards the ropes and drops Rey right on this throat into one of the top ropes.)

AR – That throat of Rey’s must be killing him.

(Graff laughs at Rey’s destruction. Stryker throws Rey into the ropes and tries for another running spear. Rey COUNTERS with a face buster and two laying elbows to the back of Graff’s neck. Rey rolls Graff over and goes for another pin.)

Thre....

CC: NOOOO! Another kick out in this great match as Graff barely kicks out.)

(Now Rey seems a bit frustrated and picks up Graff into one of the corners. He chops Graff in the chest a few times and kicks him in the back of the legs for good measure. Rey tells the crowd its time for the Honor Sault. He grabs Graff for running 3/4 headlock into a flipping inverted reverse DDT and the pin! )

RA: Your winner of this first round Continental Title tournament match....Irey...Rey Sanchez!!!!!

AR: A deserved win by Rey and when he learns of your comments Rick you’ll pay.

Vaughn: Nope.

The scene cuts backstage to the G-Force locker room. David Capital, Curtis Lowe, and Kelly Capital sit in front of The Icon” Chris Lee, who has his Big Gold Title slung over his shoulder. He wears a shirt that says WpWs Most Violent Man. He paces in front of his teammates.*

*He taps his Big Gold Title.*

Lee: Next GoldPush, Ive gotta take on Rey AND Vaughn for this title. But tonights about David

GoldPush cuts to commercial and returns 2 minutes later.

CC: Bracket A of the Continental Title Tournament continues now on our first night of the GoldPush World Tour.

**On the WPWtron the words "Do you belive in Ghosts?" slowly appear on the screen as all the lights dim. As Whiskey in the Jar starts playing the lights flash and Delilah Ghost stands at the top of the ramp. She walks to the ring, taking her time, grinning and singing along with the music. When she gets to the ring Delilah turns her back to it, grabs the top rope and pulls herself up and into the ring**

RA: The following CONTINENTAL TITLE TOURNAMENT CONTEST is scheduled for ONE FALL, with the winner advancing to the QUARTERFINALS of the CONTINENTAL TITLE TOURNAMENT. Introducing first.....DELILAH GHOST!

Vaughn: She looks like she has spent the day powdering her face for that retro bled pig look!

CC: Do you think you could find atleast one nice thing to say today?

Vaughn: Probably not!

AR: That says more about you Vaughn than the people you are taking cheap shots at.

CC: Allen, I CONCUR. Rick your comments are uncalled for and undeserving of the talent in WpW.

**Whats it gonna be hits the PA as red and white lasers circle the arena. Slow and arrogant, Paul Drake emerges to the top of the ramp and makes his way to the ring.

RA: And her opponent, from Boston, Massachusetts, weighing in at 238 pounds......“THE LOVESTER”.....PAUL DRAKE!

Drake gets into the ring as What’s It Gonna Be shuts off. Drake looks down at Delilah and laughs. Delilah lands a boot to the head. The ref calls for the bell**

CC: Delilah may be little overmatched here in some minds, don't you think?

AR: Absolutely not, my little flower.

CC: I’ll go on a limb and pick Delilah to win tonight.

Vaughn: Lovester wins. I beat some sense into him at Heatwave, maybe.

**Delilah quickly lifts Drake to his feet and sends him to the ropes, on the way back he is met with a drop kick. Delilah quickly gets back up and gives a kick to the head. Dragging him up to his feet she, she backs up and takes a full swing with her weight behind it at Paul’s head with her forearm. Drake is able to duck under and quickly grabs Delilah form behind into a atomic drop. Delilah falls into the ropes and bounces backwards. Drake shoulder block her knee out from under her sending her crashing to the mat. Paul quickly gets up and begins to work over Delilah’s legs**

CC: Looks like he is trying to ground Delilah by taking out her legs.

AR: Smart move.

**Drake continues to work over the leg and Knee area, until He pulls Delilah to her feet. Drake throws a punch, which Delilah counters into a cobra clutch slam. Delilah quickly goes for the pin.

CC: So close. He just got his shoulder up at the last instances.

**Delilah quickly goes back on the offensive. Pulling Drake up she send him to the ropes and catches him with a back body drop that sends him high into the air before crashing down on the mat. Delilah is quick to climb to the turnbuckle facing out into the crowd, she looks back to line up her position with drake, raises one hand in the air towards the crowd and sends her self off the top top turnbuckle back flipping into the air and lands on her target. The force with which she lands bounces her off drake, knocking the wind out of her.**

CC: Oh my God!. Did you see that Roz, she had to be 20 feet in the air.

AR: Yes, but I think she may have hurt herself just as much as Drake with that move.

**After a moment, Delilah slowly crawls her way over to drake and goes for the cover.

CC: Another close call!

Vaughn: Took her to long to go for the cover. Drake is going to go away easily this week.

AR: You should have lost to Drake!.

Vaughn: Roz, I don’t know the meaning of the word lose.

AR: For the first time today I’ll actually agree with you

Vaughn: Really?

AR: Sure, I bet there are lots of words you don’t know the meaning, decency, taste, honesty, to name but a few more.

Vaughn: I can always tell when your lying, your lips are moving.

Delilah throws a kick that doesn't go high. She nails the Lovester with a low-blow. Lovester falls to his knees then falls backwards.

CC: OH DELILAH WITH THE INADVERTENT LOW BLOW!

AR: Inadvertent?

CC: Absolutely!

Delilah looks a little shocked, but immediately heads for the turnbuckle. She climbs to the top as Lovester lies on his back, clutching his crotch.

CC: Delilah up there in no-man's land.

AR: But as she's proved it's one-woman's land up there.

Delilah leaps off and smashes into Lovester's already hurting midsection with a gigantic splash. She lies on top of him for the cover.

DING DING DING!

CC: Delilah picks up the win here. The low-blow and splash combo get it done quickly here.

AR: The Lovester's New York Strip Steak cost him the match right there.

RA: YOUR WINNER OF THIS MATCH...............DELILAH GHOST!

Vaughn: I think I’m gonna go buy a beer.

CC: Congratulations to Delilah as she advances...

AR: I’m being told my little flower we’re having to go outside right now where someone is arriving.

[[Backstage in the back of the arena the garage door begins rising revealing a man who stands wearing all black.]]

AR: DO you know who that is?

[[The man is none other than “Th Look Th Size” Dennis Mann. He is wearing a plain black t-shirt, black leather pants and black shoes. His hair is long going down his shoulders. He grabs the person who pulled the rope down to open the garage door a diminutive Japanese man.]]

“Th Look Th Size” Denn-Mann:: Chumpsky, Get me a microphone. It’s been too many months since I’ve been on a wrestling show....It’s time for me to do Th’ Talkin!

CC: This man is making his debut here tonight, We understand he was just signed to a contract in WpW and only last night competed in the Federation Cup Battle Royal eliminating Superstar Will Evans and Jake Matthews.

AR: The seven footer was impressive in his first match in WpW and appeared to have no ring rust, Let’s hear what he has to say.

Denn-Mann:: I’m not here to put the “PRO” in WPW, and I’m not even really here to put the “Wrestling” in WPW...but I am here to add to it’s “Worldly” quality. YES ah-Ha! I’m here to make sure you all realize that as of right now....WPW is livin in a whole OTHER WORLD...So I just gotta know...Where’s that Chumpsky who balls like a baby, Mystic Baller? My crystal ball predicts he loses the TV title tonight. How about former Big Goldylocks Champion The Gothic Cleetus of Hazard County Lost Sheep to Shepard, Lost Soul? Or what about WPW’s World Chump A,E,I,O,YOU, Yourself Striken? All of you chumpskies have now got to deal with a whole other world...

[[Denn-Mann steps into the arena a little further.]]

.

.

.

.

.

.

Denn-Mann:: I paid a little visit to the production truck before telling the door man here Open Sesame and, they have their marching orders to make things clearer for everyone here tonight and watching at home. I’ll make this short and sweet, I’m only the first one through the door but next time Goldpush hits the screens, I have another brother who’s going to stand with me because he is here to usher in a whole OTHER WORLD to WPW...

.

.

.

.

.

.

[[Denn-Mann gives a cue and the camera cuts to the arena where the screen goes fuzzy and then up on it appears an “oWo” logo under it reading “OTHER WORLD ORDER”. The Crowd “ooooooooooooooooo‘s“ at the sight of the logo.]]

[[The camera cuts back to Denn again and he rips his plain black t-shirt off revealing an “oWo” t-shirt.]]

Denn-Mann: It’s starting again but this time OWO has meaning....We’re bringing a whole other world to WPW because that’s exactly what this is....A whole OTHER world!!!! My big surprise brother reveals himself next time....YES ah-HA!

[[“Th Look Th Size” Dennis Mann then turns around and leaves back through the garage door.]]

CC: The OWO is coming to WPW?

AR: Well I do know they had many fans in their previous incarnation elsewhere but I really don’t know what to make of this “other world” talk. It is fair to say though. I see where he’s coming from.

CC: Maybe he’s right but I just have to wonder who is the man that Dennis Mann is claiming will be here next GoldPush to wear the oWo t-shirt?

AR: It isn’t me my little flower. This should be a surprise to many. The oWo. Maybe next week Monique can investigate this oWo formation in WpW and see who’s behind it or in it with Dennis Mann.

CC: Right now before we go to break, We’ve dispatched Monique to investigate another matter. The matter of just who attacked CEO Lilly at Heatwave.

AR: Former CEO.

CC: Whatever.

Rick Vaughn sits back down with his beer.

CC: As a matter of fact,**Looks over at Rick** I haven’t even heard you say anything about the lily assault.

Vaughn: That’s cause I ain’t got anything to say.

CC: Why not, don’t you want to defend yourself?

Vaughn: Defend myself? Why should I? Let me tell you something, I don’t care what people think. Maybe I did do it and maybe I didn’t, but the truth of the matter is you, Roz, and everyone else are going to think whatever it you wanna think. I am not saying I did, but if I did, I had a damn good reason to put that bump on that little tarts head.

CC: Either way, Monique will get an exclusive right after this....

GoldPush goes to commercials then returns.

(The scene cuts backstage where Monique is standing by with Micheal Graves.)

Monique: Micheal, as I'm sure you know, our CEO, Tyger Lilly was attacked backstage and left for dead at WPW Heatwave just two weeks ago. There have been alot of suspected named that have come up while trying to figure out exactly who might have attacked her. One of those names Micheal, is yours, where were you when Lilly was attacked?

Micheal Graves: Wow, your straight to the point aren't you? Listen, I was preparing for my match later that night with GRENDEL. I had a chance for a title shot, so on Heatwave, that was my only concern.

Monique: Do you have any witnesses who can prove that you were only preparing for your match, and not say, in Lilly's office?

Micheal Graves: No, I didn't hang around anyone that night, I came in and wrestled my match, after that I took the first flight home.

Monique: Your story doesn't seem to have much credit behind it Micheal, you have no way to prove your alibi.

Micheal Graves: Listen, do you want me to say that I did it? Would that make you feel better to know that Micheal Graves walked right into Lilly's office and jumped her while she had her back turned to me? Do you want me to tell you that I wrestled her to the ground, and then, as I was trying to choke the life out of her, I grabbed a paper weight off her desk, and smashed it right into the back of her head? Is that what you want to hear!?!

Monique: Well... I...

Micheal Graves: I guess next you would want to know WHY I did it wouldn't you!?! Hmmm, lets think for a second, why would I attack our beloved CEO? Maybe because of the first match she ever booked me in, Myself and Vampira vs Lilly and SBK. The match that made me a laughing stock in this company. Not because of the fact that I lost, but because of how BAD I lost that match. Maybe then you would want to know how I have wanted to gain some measure of revenge ever since it happened? How I have sat back and planed my first move, how I knew, exactly the right moment to enter her office, while nobody was around... Well sister, none of it happened, like I said, I was preparing for my match.

(With that Micheal just glares at Monique for a second, and then walks off camera.)

CC: Later tonight in bracket B, Micheal Graves will be facing the returning Vladimir Radinovic who we understand has spent the last several weeks helping train his countrymen back in Russia. Micheal Graves also is related to our next match in Bracket A of the Continental Title Tournament.

AR: Rumors are there is a connection between him and our first Tournament match with Stryker Graff and Rey.

CC: Yes, but Rey won but was unable to unmask Stryker Graff.

AR: One Graves we can assure you is here is Destiny Graves and she is making her WpW debut tonight as well.

The lights fade down as white and gold spotlights, fill the arena, suddenly without warning we hear Destiny's voice ‘You can't run from your Destiny’ come booming from the PA system, followed by the opening sounds of Scandalous. As her video starts to play, she walks out on stage, wearing her signature trench coat and cowboy hat. She looks to both sides of the stage and takes the hat off and holds it up in the air as a gold pyro shoots across the stage. She smiles and puts the hat back on and walks down the ramp. She gets to the ring and hops up on the side and steps over the middle rope. She walks to the middle of the ring and takes the hat off again, getting a loud cheer from the crowd, then turns to the entrance ramp and takes off the jacket and hat.

Vaughn: Those Spandex are so tight you can take her blood pressure visually.

RA: The following CONTINENTAL TOURNAMENT TITLE CONTEST is scheduled for one fall, with the winner advancing into the QUARTERFINALS of the CONTINENTAL TITLE TOURNAMENT. Introducing first, from NEW YORK CITYâ€¦DESTINY GRAVES!

CC: Destiny Graves, a newcomer as mentioned here in WpW, looks to make her mark here by beating Kelly Capital here in the Continental Title Tournament. Kelly did much the same thing on the GoldPush before Heatwave, defeating then-undefeated in the womenâ€™s division Delilah Ghost.

AR: The only marks Destiny will have when this is done is the marks all over her from Kelly’s beating.

The Girl Can Rock by Hilary Duff hits the PA system as Kelly Capital walks out from behind the curtain. Closely behind her, with his Big Gold Title slung over his shoulder and his head bandaged up is The Icon Chris Lee. Kelly blows kisses to the crowd as Lee looks up and yells something at Destiny. The fans applaud Kelly and The Icon as they approach the ring.

RA: And her opponent, from Washington, DC, accompanied by World Pro Wrestling BIG GOLD CHAMPION THE ICON Chris Lee, representing G-FORCE KELLY CAPITAL!

CC: Kelly Capital certainly has shown her stuff in WpW, defeating Delilah Ghost as was just mentioned in her first ever match.

CC: Kelly works out every day and keeps herself in great shape.

Vaughn: It looks like she ran a 100 yard dash in a 90yard gym.

CC: She is currently single and I think the men would be lining up to take her out.

Vaughn: Are you kidding me, she is so ugly even the tide wouldn’t take her out.

AR: Kelly is in great shape, sheâ€™s very skilled, and sheâ€™s drawing on the experiences of both a brawler in â€śIconâ€ť and a technician in her brother David.

CC: Certainly â€śIconâ€ť retained that Big Gold Championship in that now-famous draw against Rey at Heatwave. So G-Forceâ€™s leader still has the Big Gold, and now heâ€™s out at ringside to advise Kelly in her match-up against Destiny.

The referee points for the bell and the match starts. Destiny immediately steps to Kelly and starts taunting at her. She laughs in Kellyâ€™s face and points scornfully at â€śThe Iconâ€ť. Lee simply shakes his head and steps away from the ring apron towards the barricade with his hands in the air. Destiny turns and smirks at Kelly. She slaps Kelly right across the face. Kelly leans to the side after the slap. Destiny flashes a smile. Suddenly, without warning, Kelly turns like lighting and lashes out with the Capital K. She connects soundly to the side of Destinyâ€™s head. Destiny falls like a ton of bricks to the canvas, landing on her stomach completely motionless.

CC: Kelly just kicked Destiny into next week.

AR: I think next year would be more appropriate. Destiny is out. Shes done.

Kelly kicks Destiny over and places her foot on Destinyâ€™s chest. The referee slides down for the count. .

CC: Just like that?

DING DING DING!

AR: Just like that. Kelly Capital wins in dominant fashion tonight. One move, and that move was the devastating Capital K.

Vaughn: I see a lot of potential for her. She could be one of the 10,000 best burger flippers of all time at McDonalds if she starts working at it now.

CC: Kelly showed just how dangerous that move really is. She caught Destiny just right and knocked her completely out.

AR: It helped that Destiny did no preparation for this match and no scouting whatsoever. When you go into a match with anyone that can hit you as quick as Kelly can, you need to be prepared.

CC: And prepared it seems Destiny wasn't. She'll have learned her lesson though. I'm sure we'll see Destiny Graves back and who knows maybe even dropping other opponents with one move herself.

RA: Your winner of this match and advancing in the Continental Title tournament...KELLY CAPITAL!

The referee raises Kelly’ hand and Lee slides into the ring, taking Kelly’s other hand and raising it. With his free hand he raises the Big Gold Title. The two slide out of the ring. Lee raises Kelly’s hand again and hoists her up on his shoulders. She waves and blows kisses to the crowd as he raises the Big Gold Title once again.

CC: G-Force riding high with new-found unity as Kelly Capital advances to the next round of the Continental Title Tournament.

The scene shifts backstage. Coming down the hallway are Alex Hart and new husband, Samus Bellemont. The two enter a locker room. A few seconds later, the voice of Samus can be heard.

Lost Soul: What the...

Laughter drowns out the question.

Voice: Fuck the darkness, Samus.

A loud clanging noise is heard. It appears as if there is a beating occurring inside the locker room. The scream of Alex Hart solidifies this fact.

CC: Not sure what this is all about we’ll be back.

GoldPush goes to commercials then returns to the locker room.

The locker room door flies open with Samus and Alex falling out of the room and to the arena floor. Samus is bleeding profusely from the forehead, and Alex Hart looks to be unconscious.

CC: Lost Soul and wife Alex Hart have been beaten to a pulp backstage!

AR: We've got to find whose responsible for this, CC.

The camera enters the locker room, where no one can be seen. The wall nearest the door has a phrase spray painted on it with red paint, it reads "Death to the Darkness".

AR: Someone has attacked Lost Soul and his wife. I can't believe this!

CC: Looks like we're gonna' have yet another "whodunit" mystery.

Vaughn: Wasn’t me.

AR: Who ever it was they did quite a number to those two.

EMTs rush to the side of Samus and Alex. They notice Samus stirring, and he motions for them to help Alex, whom still rests unconscious. The paramedics lift Hart up and lay her on the stretcher. One of the paramedics helps Samus to his feet, and asks what happened.

Paramedic: What happened to you guys? Lost Soul can't answer as he motions for them to get Alex to the ambulance. The paramedics roll Alex as Lost Soul follows them to the rear of the arena, as the scene shifts back to the Candice and Allen.

CC: I wish Monique was there to get to the bottom of this but she is elsewhere backstage right now standing by with Grendel.

(The scene cuts to elsewhere in the backstage area where we see Monique with mic in hand looking for people to interview about the attack on CEO Lilly at HeatWave……Monique spots the man they call GRENDEL walking out of the locker room and starts to head his way…..)

Monique: GRENDEL, excuse me, GRENDEL can I have a word with you.

(GRENDEL stops and turns to look toward Monique…..GRENDEL shakes his head yes and walks to where Monique is standing….)

GRENDEL: Why of course, what you got on your mind?

Monique:Well first off I for one didn’t expect you to make the trip to Japan, and when you showed up during Striken’s ring ceremony, I was shocked.

GRENDEL: Well Striken isn’t the only one around here that can play the mind games. Striken is a smart man, but I just wanted to remind him who is will be facing down the road for the world title.

Monique: Now that your hear, I’ve been on sort of a detective mission. As you recall at HeatWave someone attacked CEO Lilly and sent her to the hospital. I’ve asked several other superstars and I’m leaving no rock unturned. So my question to you is, did you do it?

GRENDEL: I’m shocked that you even considered me a suspect. But to answer your question, no I had nothing to do with it. I have my own list of suspects, and I like the rest of WpW want to get to the bottom of this. I for one hope Lilly is doing ok, and I know she is watching this as she recoups, Lilly hope you like the flowers I sent ya, get well soon girl.

Monique: That’s sweet. We know that SBK isn’t here in Japan, but what happened to your manger, AJ?

GRENDEL: The hell if I know. Don’t know why SBK isn’t here, but AJ doesn’t check his voice mail often enough. I told him I planned on making the trip, but he never got back with me.

Monique: Maybe AJ and SBK are cooking something up since they skipped GoldPush?

GRENDEL: I doubt that, Shawn can’t stand to be in the same room as AJ. And I think the feeling is mutual with AJ.

Monique: Speaking of Shawn Stryker, he made an interesting speech at HeatWave after his tag team match, now it seems he wants nothing to do with this company. I know you two used to be good friends, what are you thoughts on that?

GRENDEL: Shawn made some interesting points. Points that needed to be made. I understand where he is coming from. I haven’t talked to him since I’ve been in WpW. I think mainly because of my manager. As to his whereabouts, I have no clue.

Monique: Well thank you for you time GRENDEL.

GRENDEL: Sure thing, anytime.

(The scene switches to somewhere else backstage, where we see Vampira standing alone in the locker room. Her eyes are fixed on the television monitor as Micheal graves walks in, closing the door behind him. Vampira turns to look at Micheal, as he walks closer to her with a slight grin on his face.)

Vampira: What's that look for?

Micheal Graves: I was just, interrogated but Monique, if you can call it that.

Vampira: What are you talking about?

Micheal Graves: She wanted to know if I was the person who attacked Lilly, I took over the conversation though, she didn't even get a chance to try and bring my being with you into the mix.

Vampira: That was a smart move, if I were to be brought into that conversation, then you would have became the number one suspect. Everyone knows I can't stand Lilly.

Micheal Graves: Then how can you possibly stand me?

Vampira: I have my reasons for putting up with you.

(Micheal walks closer to Vampira, and places his hands on her hips.)

Vampira: What about Destiny, I thought she was your "True" love?

(Micheal just smirks at that comment.)

Micheal Graves: Destiny means nothing to me, I only used her in XWF to get close to my brother, now with him dead, she is useless.

Vampira: So... are you just using me?

Micheal Graves: ... Maybe.

(Micheal moves in for a kiss, the two lock lips, they share in a passionate kiss)

CC: Interesting turn of events there. Destiny Graves loses and now Micheal Graves has renewed interest in Vampira.

AR: This co-insiding with Lilly being attacked at Heatwave and then Lost Soul and Alex Hart getting attacked.

AR: Here we go, CC, Cam Ferguson will take on The Phil in yet another of our Continental Tournament first round matches.

CC: Should be a good one, AR. Cam Ferguson showed great talent in winning the Grab for the Grudge match at Heatwave.

AR: I concur, now, let's send it up to Roxy Adams.

(The opening drum salvo for 'Harvester Of Sorrow' kicks in violently, & the lights go out. As the guitar riff then begins a single spotlight turns on, focusing on the entrance way. After a lull in the music, the guitars come back just before the vocals start & out comes Cam Ferguson. He ignores the crowd, which causes the Japanese crowd to respond with hisses. Cam walks slowly to the ring with his head staring at the floor. After circling the ring once Cam rolls in under the bottom rope & is just about ready. )

RA: Coming to the ring...from Glasgow, Scotland...CAM FERGUSON!!!

Vaughn: Some people drink from the fountain of knowledge, Cam just gargled.

CC: I tell you, Cam really holds some power in WpW with winning the “Grab for the Grudge” match. He can make himself or for that matter any match in WpW of his choosing. I’d call that smart.

AR: But remember it would be non-sanctioned so if it were against a champion it would be non-title.

CC: But still One GoldPush he can announce to use the “Grab for Grudge” contract and the very next Goldpush, that match would happen.

RA: And now, Making his way to the ring at this time, hailing from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma of the United States of America, he weighs in at two hundred and eighty four pounds. His height is six feet and five inches...

(Phillip Shane Abernathy, the WpW's Assassin for Hire!

The well lit arena goes pitch black almost as the echoes of Roxy Adams permeate through the room. Soon, the sound is replaced with the heckling and deaming chants of the Japanese crowd. Even in Japan the crowds boo the name of Phil. Audio finally recovers on the PA track with the the words "So this is what it means to have friends. Hmph. Screw em." The wailing of electric guitar echoes over the crowd with the opening riffs for "I Stand Alone" by Godsmack. As the audio rises the boos eventually drown out in the first five seconds as a wall of pyros ignites at the entrance.)

AR: As much as I despise this man, he knows how to put his paycheck to good use.

Candice Calloway: What do you mean Allen?

Allen Rozell: You really think WpW would put forth this much money for a no name?

Candice Calloway: You make a good point, though apparently The Phil never got the staff a replacement tron video.

Vaughn: I heard he called the suicide hotline the other night and they told him he was doing the right thing.

(Phillip Shane Abernathy steps through the smoke wearing a black T-Shirt with the words Fuck You on front of them, and his typical generic blue jeans and shoes. On the back. The camera crew near the gorilla position gets a good shot around his body, the WpWtron now showing very plainly the scar on the back of his neck from the knife gash. Phil flexes his neck from side to pop it like normal, the scar moving with his motions. Phil finally makes his way down towards the ring.)

Allen Rozell: And that scar will definitely be a focal point of Cam Ferguson in this match.

(Phil finally makes his way into the ring and steps through the ropes, to take his place in the corner normally reserved for challengers.)

(The lights in the arena all turn off as the PA system goes dead silent. The crowd is dead silent. The PA system comes over with the words "So this is what it means to have friends. Screw em." The beginning guitar solo for "I stand alone" starts in as two spotlights hit the entrance of the arena. The man that WPW has come to hate over the last few weeks comes out wearing his standard fair of black T-Shirt and blue jeans. He glares around the arena before he starts walking towards the ring. He slides under the bottom rope almost serpent like. He cautiously stands before making his way to a lone corner. )

RA: His opponent...from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma...PHILLIP SHANE ABERNATHY

CC: As soon as Roxy exits the ring we'll be ready to go.

{Roxy climbs out of the ring and down the ring steps as the bell sounds...ding, ding. Phil and Cam circle each other, waiting for the opportunity to tie up. The Phil extends his hand and Cam takes the cue as the two men lock up. Phil takes the early advantage, simply overpowering Cam to the mat.}

AR: P.S.A. weighs 384 pounds, CC. Cam Ferguson only comes in at 221. Major size advantage if you ask me.

{The Phil tries to drop a knee across Cam's neck. Ferguson rolls out of the way as Phil slams into the mat. Ferguson quickly hops to his feet and backs away into a corner. The Phil also quickly gets to his feet. The Phil once again attempts to lock up with Cam. Ferguson ducks the attempts and delivers a shoulder block to the gut of Phil. Ferguson uses the opportunity to catch Phil with a drop kick. The Phil falls backward, coming to rest against the ring ropes. Cam charges Phil and delivers a knee to the throat of P.S.A. }

CC: The quickness and in-ring experience of Cam Ferguson becoming evident. So Roz, have you gotten out to see the sights of Japan yet?

AR: Yes, I must say this place with quiet lovely. I admire the Japanese culture greatly

Vaughn: I’m not too impressed…First off, sushi..Sorry, but cutting up raw fish and rolling it in rice seems like it was created by a lazy chef. And what is with all these people. They look like they have been stung by bees on there eyelids.

CC: Rick, can’t you please say something nice for a change. Just one nice thing about Japan.

Vaughn: Well, I do hear that Hiroshima gives off a nice glow at night.

The Phil falls forward and lands face first into the mat. Ferguson moves down to Phil's leg. He grabs his left leg and twists it, locking a figure four onto The Phil.

AR: This one may be over quickly..

*The figure four is locked onto The Phil. P.S.A. tries to fight the move off. He uses his sheer size and strength to crawl all the way to the opposite end of the ring, where he grabs the ring ropes. The ref breaks the hold. *

CC: Pure muscle allowed The Phil to get outta' that submission move.

*Cam backs away allowing The Phil to get to his feet. The Phil limps around for a second, trying to get the feeling back into his leg. Cam tries to rush him while his guard is down. Ferguson attempts a spinning heel kick, but The Phil catches his leg. Ferguson then attempts an enzijuri, but The Phil ducks the attempts and delivers a clothesline sending Cam to the mat.*

AR: Nice move there by Phillip Abernathy.

*he Phil begins to tear into Cam with punches while he's down. Cam tries to cover his face as The Phil continues to pummel him. Finally, The Phil gets up and lifts Cam to his feet. He whips Cam across the ring. Ferguson bounces off the ropes and back towards The Phil. P.S.A. grabs Cam up and slams him with belly-to-belly suplex. The Phil goes for the cover. 1 .. .. 2 ... ...KICK OUT! *

CC: This one was almost over.

*The Phil pushes himself off of Cam and gets to his feet. P.S.A. turns and taunts the foreign crowd, causing them to erupt in hisses of disapproval. This allows Cam Ferguson to get to his feet. The Phil turns back towards his opponent, where Cam catches him with a boot to the gut followed up by an evenflow DDT. The Phil crashes to the mat in a heap. Cam bounces off the ropes, hops over Phil, then leaps off the 2nd rope, executing a lionsault on Phil. Cam goes for a cover of his own. 1 .. ..AR: Cam going for the victory 2 ...KICK OUT!

CC: Unsuccessful attempt, though, Allen.

*Cam climbs back to his feet as The Phil pulls himself up using the ring ropes. Once to his feet, The Phil attempts a running clothesline on Cam. The Phil catches Cam with the clothesline, sending him crashing to the mat with the back of his head landing hard. The Phil stands over Cam. A smile crosses his face as he leaps into the air and hits Cam Ferguson with a standing splash. The Phil hooks Cam's leg as the ref goes for the three count. 1 ..

AR: May be over, CC! *. .

RA: Your winner and moving on to the second round of the Continental Title tournament...PHILLIP SHANE ABERNATHY!

CC: A match that could have went either way but The Phil put in more than Cam on this night to get the win.

AR: I concur.

*The scene goes backstage to find Nicole in her locker room brushing her hair in front of a tall mirror talking to her stuffed duck*

Nicole: Know what Duck, ever feel like you bein watched? I feel like I am bein watched! ooooh who ever is watching me better watch out I am a master in Duck Kung Fu! and I will kick their ass, just like Imma do to all those guys in the ring tonight.

*Just then a gust of wind blows thru the room. Nicole looks around as it stops just a suddenly as it started*

Nicole: Duck did you leave the window open?

*Nicole looks over her shoulder*

Nicole: Umm wait there is no window

*Nicole shrugs a bit nervous but shrugs it off and turns back only to see the reflection of Vampira standing behind her....Nicole freezes and looks like she has seen a ghost. Nicole turns around only to find nothing but the wall, no Vampira, Nicole turns back and the reflection is gone*

Nicole: SH-T! No more caffeine for me Duck, *Nicole laughs a bit nervous and looks around once more as the scene fades*

CC: Was that Vampira?
