1/4 The Dream: Heading into 2009 Paul Heyman resided in his small house in Edgemont, New York. No longer tied down to WWE, Heyman tried to pursue a position in Wrestling again when he joined a consortium which looked to buy out Ring Of Honor. Though the initial bid to buy ROH failed Heyman realized that he still had ‘the itch’ to get back into wrestling on a mainstream level. Knowing that he couldn’t make this on his own financially – he enlisted the help of close friend John Maynard. Maynard was a wealthy man, but between the two of them they still didn’t have the financial resources at their disposal as WWE and TNA did. Through their many contacts, they came into touch with a multi-millionaire car-manufacture supremo Michael Morton, who by chance was a long-time follower of the wrestling business. Knowing they had a tough task on their hands to persuade him the join their pact and invest his many millions into the company, Heyman drew up plans of how the Promotion, World Alliance of Professional Wrestling (WAPW), was going to function and how Morton and Maynard would fit into the plans. And by mid-January 2009, paper-work was signed, sealed and as Vince McMahon was soon to find out – delivered...

2/4Paul Heyman was back in the saddle and along with Morton and Maynard, this time he was on equal financial footing as World Wrestling Entertainment. However, Paul needed to contain the news, at least for the time being. The wrestling world would have to wait until it was made official. Amidst the contract negotiations and financial deals which Paul was in charge of, Maynard secured a primetime television slot – 2 hours, every Wednesday from 8-10pm on ‘FX’. The venue for the first show was also set – they would be airing from out of Nashville at the Von Braun Center. For years Paul was referred to as a greasy, wily, slime-ball who was willing to stoop to any level to make a success of his promotion, and he was about to show Vince McMahon and Jeff Jarrett that he still had a trick or two up his sleeve.

3/4 The Plan: Things couldn’t have fallen into place better if Paul had asked – one week in late December WWE was hosting Raw and Smackdown tapings from New York. The other week, TNA were hosting a live event in the same vicinity. Paul saw an opening, and asked innocently for permission to go backstage and catch up with old friends with both promotions. Unbeknowingly – Vince and Jeff accepted the offer. Before he knew it, he was talking to some of the biggest names in the industry – Kurt Angle, Christian Cage, MVP and Rey Mysterio about how it was going contractually and if they would consider jumping ship. Heyman was shot down by some but with a lot of others he scheduled further talks. Mere days later Paul Heyman, Michael Morton and John Maynard sat twenty more than twenty TNA and WWE stars down and discussed contracts and compensation. The contractual issues were smooth sailing as most of the prospective signings were keen to jump ship at the first opportunity. By the turn of the new year, the talent was amidst being acquired. The ones poached from WWE and TNA had the remainder of their contracts bought out, as well as substantial compensation fees. Vince McMahon and Jeff Jarrett were said to be furious at the ‘audacity’ of Paul Heyman and his rebel-group.

4/4 The Assembly: The first major signing for World Alliance Professional Wrestling was WWE’s MVP. He joined on a three year deal where he would earn roughly a little more than he would in WWE. He was directly quoted as saying the ‘travel had a lot to do with his decision’. He was followed just 3 days later by an enthusiastic Rey Mysterio who cited he was losing his passion in WWE. Morton was writing big cheques and getting some of the biggest names in North-America. Chronologically, Ken Kennedy was the next to move from Smackdown signing a lucrative contract on the 19th of January. WAPW’s raid on WWE was almost complete, with Raw’s duo of Shad and JTG – Cryme Tyme signing one year deals!

TNA was not exempt. Heyman had made headline-stealing moves for both Kurt Angle and AJ Styles. Both of who rejected the big money defections and stayed loyal to TNA. They couldn’t however spare Christian Cage from leaving. With not long left on his contract he signed on new year’s day. A tandem with a short period of time left on their contracts – Team 3D. Heyman held talks with them and agreed in principal for them to sign with him. Alex Shelley and Lance Hoyt headed off a list of defecting talent, with hefty compensation having to be paid for Alex in particular.

The signings of WWE and TNA stars made waves across the globe – the wresting world was in awe. However arguably the biggest prospective signing of them all was the signing of a free-agent. A former World Champion in WWE, and a former World Champion of WCW – but officially he hasn’t been named! Hulk Hogan, The Rock and Goldberg were all heavily linked with joining WAPW.

World talent was also being plucked, with Mexico’s exciting talent Mistico joining WAPW to compete in the Cruiserweight Division. Jack Evans was signed from the independents, as was former WWE developmental talent Teddy Hart. Two of ROH’S kingpins were signed in Austin Aries and Roderick Strong, as well as the Amazing Red and the Briscoe Brothers.

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!


World Alliance Professional Wrestling presentsHAZARD!
Wednesday 28th January 2009
Von Braun Centre, Alabama

Following a hair-loss commercial the screen of the viewers television set suddenly fades to black. Technical fault? No. After approximately 15 seconds the non-diagetic sound of cheering fans accompanies the blank screen, with ‘Heyman’ chants able to be distinguished. A sense of anticipation builds up like no other.

After 30 seconds of darkness, the shot is fixated on Paul Heyman. He once again stands in the middle of a wrestling ring, microphone in hand with signature leather trench coat and baseball cap! No announcers, no theme music – just Paul Heyman and a ruckus Alabama crowd! Eventually, the crowd dies down in anticipation for Paul’s words. Paul is visibly moved by his surroundings. He attempts to speak but is cut off once more by the ecstatic crowd! He soon conducts the fans into a silence.

Heyman – Huntsville Alabama, America, and the rest of the viewing world, it is with great pleasure that I present to all of you – World Alliance Professional Wrestling! A great pop, as expected. And I’m gonna be honest with you, it’s been a long time in the making, it’s been a brain-child of mine for nearly eight years now. I painted that picture in my mind of what a wrestling company should be like – and it’s all come to fruition right before my very eyes here tonight. There’s a lot of people that I would like to thank for making this possible – guys like Michael Morton for bankrolling this promotion and helping us make it to the big time. There’s also John Maynard, a very close friend of mine who helped get me back into the business and get this up and running. And then – of course, most importantly – there’s you. The fans! Another big pop, as Paul points to everybody in the arena with his finger. Without all of you, whether you’re here in the Von Braun centre, whether your at home watching on FX, wherever you are – whatever country you’re from, from whatever walk of life – from the bottom of my heart thank you for making this moment possible. Applause, rather than rabid cheers, rings out. There's also one more man who I'd like to thank. Now don't get me wrong, I don't want to go on and on and on - but I feel that this man deserves special thanks. This man shaped this business, he brought it to the forefront and is seen as The Godfather of this industry. Ladies and gentlemen, please give thanks to Vince McMahon! Boos emerge at the mention of Vince's name. Vince, who I'm sure is back in Stamford, Connecticut watching Hazard tonight, you’d think I’d be bitter for what you have turned ECW into – but I’m not, because the fact of the matter is everybody knows that ECW died in 2001 and has been resting in peace ever since. What I would like to thank you sincerely for, is for re-igniting the fire inside my soul shouting emotionally and for giving me the will-power to rewrite wrestling with what you see before you now - W ... A ... P ... W! The fans are giving out a rapturous response. Heyman pauses and calms himself down before continuing. Vince, what I want you to do is get comfy in-front of your television, sit back, relax and watch what wrestling is all about. Now enough of the past, onto tonight. Tonight is of course the inaugural show for World Alliance Pro Wrestling, and we need to kick things off in the right spirit. So with that firmly in mind I would like to announce tonight’s main-event. It will feature six of the most athletic, gutsy, and entertaining wrestlers in the world going at it in an elimination gauntlet for the WAPW Cruiserweight Championship. Jack Evans, Teddy Hart, Paul London, Mistico, Puma and The Amazing Red will contest it with two men starting, and another entering after a pin-fall is made. The winner will be the holder of the Cruiserweight Championship belt! The camera briefly cuts to backstage where every star is seated, the camera scanning across all the six mentioned stars. Also tonight you will the first two matches in the tournament to crown the first ever WAPW North-American Champion! Eight men will turn six by the end of the night, and by the 22nd of February at our first ever PPV, Battle Lines, the final two will fight it out with a champion being decided. Now, before I head to the back, sit my ass down in my office and watch the rest of the show unfold, I want to take this time to present to you the voice of WAPW Hazard from here on in - ladies and gentlemen your commentary team of Matt Striker and Joey Styles!!

Hazard's theme song "Hell Yeah" by Rev Theory plays as a suited and tied Matt Striker and Joey Styles step out onto the ramp to a great reaction. They both grin, and wave to the cheering crowd. Paul Heyman meanwhile has stepped out of the ring and walks up the ramp to greet them - still with a microphone in hand. He extends his hand to Matt Striker and shakes, before extending to Joey. The two shake hands before embracing in a heart-felt hug. They exchange a few words and a quick laugh before the two make there way down to there announce table. Paul meanwhile puts the microphone to his lips and faces the fans.

Heyman – Ladies and gentlemen I am Paul Heyman - and this is W ... A ... P ... W!!

He drops the mic before aggressively raising both hands to the cheering masses. He heads to the back and we head for a commercial break.



COMMERCIAL BREAK



We return from the first dire instalment of commercials with WAPW Hazard’s theme tune. However it's not in the usual form of a video package, no, no. The camera is fixated on the top of the ramp which has temporarily been converted into a stage - as Rev Theory stand all set to play!! With Rich Luzzi on vocals, they treat the fans to what will be known as the theme song for WAPW Hazard - "Hell Yeah"!! After the three-minute performance the band pause to soak in the applause, before the pyro’s explode into action with an immense sequence, before the crowd is panned. The camera eventually fixates on Joey Styles and Matt Striker at ringside.


Styles – Ladies and gentlemen across the world you are looking live at a ruckus crowd here in Huntsville Alabama and the weeks of anticipation are finally over – WAPW has arrived! I’m Joey Styles here on Hazard alongside the man who will be my broadcast colleague hopefully for a long time to come – give it up for Matt Striker…

Striker – Thank you very much Joey, it’s always a pleasure, and even more so here tonight in Huntsville for the inaugural edition of WAPW Hazard – a great show in prospect and an even better future lies ahead and I’m sure as hell excited to be a part of it!

Styles – I’m with you on that one Matt. The talk of the wrestling world for the last month has been World Alliance Professional Wrestling and the time has finally come – it’s here, it’s live and we have a great line-up to kick things off in the right spirits. As Paul Heyman earlier announced it will be a six man elimination gauntlet for the Cruiserweight title! Puma, Jack Evans, Paul London, Teddy Hart, Mistico and The Amazing Red will all go at it in your main-event.

Striker – In addition to that, there’s going to be four tournament matches tonight in the fight for the North American championship belt. That of course, along with the three other title belts, is vacant and Paul Heyman promised that at Battle Lines, a champion will be crowned!
4 matches

Styles – All that yet to come here on Hazard, but to kick things off Tag-tea…

Joey Styles is rudely cut off by the sound of a familiar voice. The words ‘Big things poppin’ are spoken before transcending into an energetic hip-hop theme. MVP steps out onto the ramp dressed smartly with an all-white suit, with black sun-glasses. He gets half-way down the ramp, to a mixed reaction, before four men emerge and follow him up and into the ring. Elijah Burke, Austin Aries, Roderick Strong and Jack Evans all enter dressed in casual black track-suit pants and black tracksuit jackets. MVP stands in the middle of the ring with a microphone in hand.

MVP – So, this is it. This is W-A-P-W. Well Huntsville you’re looking at WAPW’s Franchise Player You’re looking at Mr Primetime. I’m MVP; I’m half man, half amazing, though you already know that. Now as much as I would have liked to have sat down in MVP’s V.I.P locker-room and watched the show unfold until the end of the night, I felt the need to grace all of you people with the presence of greatness. It’s true. I could be in the back surrounded by swarms of busty blondes, beautiful brunettes, and ravishing redheads – but instead, I’m being leered at by the women, and men, of Huntsville Alabama. The boos begin reeling in as MVP conducts the crowd with typical charisma and prowess. Hey, don’t you boo me – I’m potentially sacrificing my image by coming out here and socialising with you. You people clearly don’t know how bad this looks for me, talking to fourteen thousand hicks from a place like this, and with faces like that. I mean let's face if, none of you are fit to clean my thousand dollar loafers. The boos continue before MVP continues tearing into the crowd. Now get one thing straight, I didn’t come out here to talk smack to all of you, I didn't come out here to trade hate with you - because everybody knows you people are all racist anyway. MVP is jeered like never before by the Alabama fans. No, I came out here to lay down the law and to signal my intentions. See I don’t know if you people understood earlier when Paul Heyman addressed the viewing world, but it would appear that the WAPW World Title is currently vacant. He also said that throughout the course of the next four weeks we would determine who would be challenging to be the first every WAPW Champion. So what I’m about to say applies to everybody in this arena, everybody in the locker-room, and the millions across the world sitting in front of their television screen, so listen up and listen good. I am Montel Vontavious Porter and I am the face of this business, and come ‘Battle Lines’, the first ever pay-per-view event of WAPW, I will be crown my career with the biggest prize in this damn industry - the WAPW heavyweight championship! Now, until then it would seem that there's a small matter of 3 more weeks to kill until I get my title belt, and I know, I know that there's a whole locker room of arrogant punks in the back who want to get in between me and my goal. So with that in mind - I'd like to direct your googly eyes to what you see standing around me, and what you see is an assembly of the best young talent in this business! Let me introduce you to Austin Aries ... to Roderick Strong ... to Elijah Burke ... and to Jack Evans. A small pop from a section of the crowd. They are the answer to anyone of the fools in the back who want a piece of me, because no one is getting to me without going through these first. Whoever it is that wants to lay there filthy hands on the Primetime Superstar will have to wait until an official match in an official WAPW ring. MVP looks smug, raising his hands in the air with a wide grin on his face. So as I depart to my V.I.P lounge backstage, I'd like to introduce the opening contest for WAPW Hazard. He clears his throat and speaks as it he was an announcer. Hailing from Milwaukee Wisconsin, and Tampa Florida respectively ... weighing in at a combined weight of 440 lbs ... give it up for Austin Aries, and Roderick Strong!! The fans boo, as MVP grins, touching knuckles with both competitors before we prepare for a commercial break.

Styles – Ladies and gentlemen don't go anywhere, because coming up next - Brother Ray and Devon - the most decorated team in the history of wrestling, are in action!



COMMERCIAL BREAK



Returning from the second instalment of commercials and Shane Douglas is standing outside of Paul Heyman's office. He wears a wide grin and pauses before speaking to the fans in an energetic tone.

Douglas – Good evening wrestling fans I'm 'The Franchise' Shane Douglas here on WAPW's inaugural edition of Hazard and the atmosphere backstage is electric! Everybody I've met tonight, the wrestlers, the referees ...hell even us interviewers - we're all excited to be a part of this, and right now I'm standing outside the office of WAPW honcho - Paul Heyman! We're going to try and get word with Paul on what is set to be an amazing night.

Shane Douglas knocks on the door. Shortly after, Paul Heyman opens with a wide grin painted across his face. He steps out of the door and hugs Shane Douglas, sharing a brief "It's good to see you/it's been a while" moment. Both men compose themselves.

Douglas – Paul the talk of the town, and in fact the entire world, is of World Alliance Professional Wrestling! FX statisticians have predicted all-time high ratings for wrestling on cable with Hazard - and Paul I've gotta ask you what is on everybody’s mind. It's been talked about for weeks leading into this, Paul - who...

Heyman – ... who is the mystery man that's been hyped up by everybody associated with WAPW? Is that what you were gonna ask me, Shane? Shane smile and nods. Well I don't blame you, and in all honesty you're probably the hundredth person this evening to have asked me. But while I cannot physically tell you who he is - I can tell you that tonight, you're gonna see guys like MVP, Christian Cage, Rey Mysterio Jr, Ken Kennedy - and by the end of the night I guarantee you that this mystery guy will be unveiled as the most decorated heavyweight wrestler of them all!

Douglas – I appreciate that, but Paul what I and the millions of other fans are dying to know is what's going to be happening with regards to the Tag-team titles and the WAPW World title? How are you going to decide a champion?!

Heyman – Well Shane whilst other promotions may 'award' their golden boys with World Titles on 'merit', and others may give every title in the organization to one man - we will decide our champions here in WAPW in the true spirit of wrestling. And by that I mean that for instance, the tag-team title contenders will be decided, taking into consideration who has impressed over the course of the four weeks leading into our first pay-per-view extravaganza - Battle Lines. The top tag-teams will fight it out, with the winner of that match being crowned as the first ever, tag-team champions. And the World Title, you ask? It's much the same story my friend, all in due time and we'll decide the contenders! Now until then – I’d be honoured, Shane, if you would join me in my office to watch the opening contest.

Shane laughs before following Paul into the office.

Back at ringside, and the bell sounds. Howard Finkel stands in the centre of the ring and announces the following contest, and the opponents for Roderick Strong and Austin Aries (who are standing at ringside).

Match One
Austin Aries and Roderick Strong vs. Team 3D​
SUMMARY
With MVP, Jack Evans and Elijah Burke at ringside, the youngsters definitely had the numbers advantage with them. Not surprisingly – it came into play at the most important time. After eight minutes of solid action, Team 3D had finally got the advantage with Devon finally getting the tag to Bubba who came in like a house on fire. However he couldn’t quite make the most of this advantage. With Aries laid out on the outside, Bubba had the legs of Roderick split open as Devon headed to the top rope. Everyone in attendance saw it coming, but Team 3D didn’t. Whilst Jack Evans distracted the referee – Elijah Burke hopped onto the turnbuckle and pushed Devon off, and into Bubba. Devon was up, but groggy, whilst Ray was knocked out of the ring. However it all ended when Devon walked straight into a half-nelson backbreaker and inevitably the three count.​
Winners @ 6.52 mins – Austin Aries


As the winners quickly scarper up the ramp looking extremely pleased with themselves, MVP leading them to the back. Joey Styles and Matt Striker highlight that they ‘Stole one’ and that it ‘won’t be the last of these two’s conflict’. Ray and Devon look pissed in the ring.

The camera eventually switches to the back where it shows Christian Cage making his way into the arena. A black Bentley pulls up in the parking lot at speed as he steps out. He opens the back seat, pulling a large shoulder bag out. He slings it over him and locks the door. Interviewer Scott Hudson soon approaches him with a sense of urgency.

Hudson –Christian Cage! Christian Cage! Scott Hudson here from WAPW – you’re live on Hazard with millions and millions of fans watching at home on FX. Anything you want to say?

Cage –Wait, did you just say ‘millions and millions’? Hudson nods. Christian looks amused.Humph, it’s been a while. Scott Hudson, you want my thoughts? The millions of fans, you all want my thoughts? Cheers from the arena. Well that’s what you’re gonna get later on tonight when Captain Charisma - Pop - enters the Von Braun Arena and addresses the millions and millions of peeps watching at home and here in Alabama. See I know that coming into WAPW there’s an entire locker-room comprised of the absolute best talent from across the world, and that every single one of them wants nothing more than to be the WAPW Champion at Battle Lines in under four weeks time. See knowing that tells me that I’m going to have to give every bit of blood in my heart, every drop of sweat in my body and every damn tear from my eyes – in order to get that WAPW title around my waist. But until then, Scott, Christian Cage is going to go into the locker-room, meet some old friends and make some new enemies. See you around. Christian heads off as Scott Hudson stands in front of the camera watching him exit.



COMMERCIAL BREAK



The camera is fixated on Paul London. He receives a decent face pop as he stands in front of a caged area backstage, with a WAPW logo behind him. Interviewer Torrie Wilson then steps into the shot, to a great reaction!

Wilson –Paul London, tonight on Hazard you compete in the main-event – a gauntlet for the vacant Cruiserweight Championship. What would it mean to you to be the first ever Cruiserweight Champion here in WAPW?

London –Well Torrie, as a life-long wrestling fan I thought getting signed by ROH was the best moment in my life. I had a great time there and met some wonderful people, and won a few titles along the way. Then I signed for TNA, the second largest promotion in America at the time. Then I made it to the WWE. I won the Cruiserweight title there, I won the tag-team title there but for whatever reason I never got the chance I deserved. Now don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed my time in all three organizations, Torrie, but here in WAPW – tonight winning the Cruiserweight Title will be the greatest moment in Paul London’s life and the kick-start to my career!

Wilson –You certainly seem confident. What do you make of the other five competitors, and the fact that you will be entering the gauntlet first?

London –Ha, well I’ll admit it’s a pretty big damn obstacle. And the five guys are all awesome competitors, but the thing that will separate me from them is simple – and that’s heart. He taps his chest with the thumb of his right hand. I eat, sleep and bleed wrestling. So I know it’s gonna be tough, but come the end of the night I will be the first ever Cruiserweight Champion! After that – I begin my journey to become WAPW – World Champion.

London briskly exits the scene leaving Torrie.

The camera switches to a backstage hall-way where the massive figure of Abyss powerfully strides towards a door. Styles and Striker hype him up with voice-over.

The preliminary bell then rings as Lance Hoyt emerges, wearing a top hot, stylish leather jacket with matching pants, as well as holding what can only be described as a 'pimp' stick. He makes his way half way down the ramp before extending both of his arms out sideways. With that, two attractive young women in skimpy attire make there way down and grab on to each arm of Hoyt. He eventually makes his way into the ring, kissing both before readying himself.

The lights dim before a pyro explodes and Abyss emerges, with chains around his throat and dangling down to his waist. He storms down the aisle and into the ring.

Match Two
Abyss vs. Sugar Daddy Lance​
SUMMARY
The two largest athletes in WAPW collided in only the second match of the night on Hazard and despite being the underdog in many eyes before the match – it was Lance Hoyt who gained the win over Abyss and a place in the semi-finals of the North American Title Tournament! If anyone dominated more so than the other, it was probably Abyss, but by hook or by crook it was the super-confident “Sugar Daddy Superstar” who gained the pin-fall.
The end came approximately 8 minutes in, and Abyss had irish whipped Lance off into the ropes with a Black Hole Slam in mind. However as Abyss grabbed hold of him and attempted to slam him to the ground, Lance somehow slid out and found himself standing behind Abyss. He then pushed “The Monster” off into the ropes, front-first, before he was rolled up for the three count!
Winner @ 6.12 mins – Sugar Daddy Lance


Abyss sits in the middle of the ring with his head in his hands, whilst Lance and his two girls quickly flee the scene fearing the anger of Abyss. As they exit through the top of the ramp, who else but JAMES MITCHELL steps out onto the silver platform! He is wearing a crimson red suit, and looks at Abyss with pity. Abyss finally realises who it is, and instantly gets to his feet. Both stare at each other before we go to a commercial break.



COMMERCIAL BREAK



Returning from a break and Mitchell slowly makes his way down the aisle and hesitantly gets into the ring. He puts a microphone to his lips.

Mitchell –Abyss, words cannot describe the measure of disappointment that I feel looking at you right now. After raising you from spoilt brat, and turning you into the most devastating and unstoppable commodity in this business – seeing you slump so another pathetic defeat brings shame on this family. See I don’t know if these people here know, but I would hope that you haven’t forgot. I came to be a part of your family when you were a young child, when I fell in love with your mother and adopted you as my own. Abyss – that woman – that vile, traitorous WHORE, is the reason for the situation that you’re in. That WHORE has wormed her way into your membrane, and has turned you into what we all see before us now – a loser. See, when it was the two of us – you were The Monster, you were a human wrecking ball damnit! Before your mother came back into your life and infected you with her lies and her deceit – you were a champion. So Abyss … son … what I’m here for … the only reason I would come to a place like this, is to get you back. Abyss … son … what I want is for us to be a family again! Like father – and son!

James Mitchell looks up to Abyss with his menacing eyes before finally extending his hand to his ‘son’. Abyss looks to both sides of the fans for guidance, but holds his head and yells. He then slaps the hand of James Mitchell away and makes his way to the back. His ‘Father’ stands looking disappointed.

In the parking-lot once more, and Team 3D stand behind their car and are packing there bags into the trunk. Shane Douglas makes his way towards them.

Douglas – Brother Ray and Devon earlier on tonight you were defeated by the team of Austin Aries and Roderick Strong, and I’ve gotta ask ya – what are your thoughts on how the match went down and do you have anything you’d like to say to the two of them?!

Ray turns to Douglas and removes the black sun-glasses from his face and looks intently at the camera, and then at Shane. He is wearing casual wear of jeans, a shirt and a leather jacket.

Ray – Shane I’ve gotta little story I’d like to tell you, the story of our life in wrestling so far. Once upon a time there was ECW, where The Dudley Boys won the tag-team titles eight times. The next chapter in our story was the WWF, where me and my brother won their title belts ten freakin’ times. The penultimate chapter was TNA, where Team 3D won both the NWA tag-team titles and the TNA tag-team titles. So Shane my math may not be what it used to, but I reckon that those twenty god-damn tag title reigns makes us the best in this industry. We came to WAPW for competition, for some fresh meat. Roderick Strong and Austin Aries haven’t even made a splash of significance in this industry and those punks think that they can cheat their way to a victory, at our expense? On the first ever edition of Hazard – in the first match in the HISTORY of WAPW? Well boys we’ve got news for ya.

Ray turns back to the trunk of the car to organise his bags.

Devon – Oh brothers, we’ve got news for you. See in twelve years a lot of cocky punks like yourselves have tried to get up in our faces and to make a name for themselves in this business at our expense. We’ve seen a lot of them come, but ultimately – all of them had to go. I don’t think you realise just what you did, and just what that match meant to us as professionals – but boys next week on Hazard, you’re gonna realise because now – you’re both at the top of Team 3D’s hit list - and that goes for that snotty Canadian punk, the failed-MMA fighter and the Al Capone wannabe, too.

After Devon finishes, Ray sends the trunk lid slamming down for emphasis. Looking into the camera and putting his glasses back onto his face before both get into the car, with Devon in the drivers seat. Howard Finkel stands in the middle of the ring and announces that the next contest is a North American Title Tournament match. An energetic Rey Mysterio makes his way to the ring to a fantastic ovation. His opponent Alex Shelley gets some heel heat as he swaggers down and into the ring wearing a black jacket on top of his attire. As he stands on the turnbuckle he reveals the TNA X-DIVISION TITLE around his waist, which had since been vacated.

Match Three
Rey Mysterio vs. Alex Shelley​
SUMMARY
The arrogance of Alex Shelley reared its ugly head and may have proved his downfall as he succumbed to being pinned by Rey Mysterio! In a very technical and even match, it really could have gone either way with Alex Shelley nearly getting a three count on the stroke of 7 minutes. However he spent too long reacting to the crowd when he had Rey in a suplex position, which resulted in him being shoved down onto the bottom rope. Rey then used this chance to hit a '619', before following that up with a move not seen in a WWE ring in a while - the West Coast Pop!
Winner @ 8.02 mins – Rey Mysterio

As Rey Mysterio celebrates his win on the turnbuckle, garnering a favorable reaction in the process, Alex Shelley is less than happy. He finally gets to his feet rubs his sore head. He looks the referee in the eye and ridiculously questions whether it was a three - when clearly he was beaten fairly. Rey hops down and offers his hand to Alex as a good gesture. However the cocky youngster isn't taking the loss well, as he spits on the mat beside where Rey is standing and exits, kicking the steel steps on his way to the back.





COMMERCIAL BREAK





Returning from commercials the camera man's next stop is back in Paul Heyman's office where he is watching the television screen, clearly happy with the match he has just witnessed on Hazard. The lovely Torrie Wilson knocks before entering with a mic in hand.

Heyman – Torrie, Torrie, Torrie. Lovely to see you here in World Alliance Pro Wrestling. What can I do for you?

Wilson – Well Paul we're live on Hazard and we would all know your thoughts on the very first edition of Hazard, and in particular the mystery man that has been promised to show up tonight?

Heyman – Paul claps his hands and grins. Torrie I won't hide that tonight has been a huge success, and in all honesty it's only gonna get better. Three stellar match-ups, including two North-American title qualifiers, which by the way - will continue next week on Hazard. Now, as for the mys..

Paul hears his cell phone ring and immediately springs for his pocket. He pulls out his phone, opens it, takes a deep breath and puts it to his ear.

Heyman – ... tell me you're ringing to tell me that you're almost here. Paul pauses momentarily to listen to the other end of the line. You are?!! Y-you sure?! Paul is overjoyed. YES!!! Thank-you! Thank-you Sir. Yes.. yeah ... yes I understand that ... yeah ... haha, well pal after tonight you're gonna be searching for one more World Title to add to that cabinet! Paul pauses and looks as if he's been told off. Okay ... mantel-piece, whatever you want to call it. As soon as you enter the building, get to my office! .. oka... he-hello?

Paul looks bemused as he closes the lid of the phone, before clapping his hands together with happiness. He then grins, sits down in the leather wheely-chair and spins around at a 360 degree angle, clearly overjoyed at what he heard on the phone! Torrie has her hand over her mouth laughing to herself, trying not to spoil the moment for Paul.

The camera soon turns to the arena, briefly scanning the ruckus crowd. The shot soon turns to the entrance way when the energetic music of 'Kennedd-eeeh' hits to a mixed reaction. He leaps out through the curtain and surveys his new surroundings, standing and chewing his gum before making his way down into the ring. He is passes a microphone by a ringside troll

Kennedy – Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, Alabama ... and the civilised world, my name is Misteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer ... he hops up onto the second rope with the mic being held aloft ... Keeeeee-neeee-dyy! He hops back down, pauses, as the crowd expect a typical repetition. ... PERIOD! Now then Huntsville, tonight is a very special knight for Mr Kennedy. Tonight is a very important night, for Mr Kennedy. Tonight, ladies and gentlemen, is the night that Mr Kennedy arrives here in WAPW! And what better way than to address every chump in the back who has their eyes on the prize. So for you people watching on your monitors in your shared-locker rooms, Mr Kennedy has but one small notion to share with you, with MVP's of this world, the Rey Mysterio's, the Abyss's, everybody allllll the way down to the Christian Cage's of this world - I am here for one thing, and one thing only - the most coveted championship belt in all of World Alliance Pro Wrestling - the WAPW title! So for the stains that want to get in my way - this is Mr Kennedy's world, and you're all going to play by Mr Kennedy's rules!

With a smirk etched on his face he once again hops onto the second rope, chewing his gum for all to see, before the arena suddenly fades to black!?

Styles – Uh-oh! Lights out here in Alabama on Hazard! That can't be good.

Striker – And if you weren't sure before, this show is being run by Paul Heyman...

The screen soon focuses on the tron.

"WAPW - This - is Christian Cage!" Christian soon walks onto the ramp looking determined, yet pleased to be a part of Hazard. He looks deep into the crowd before making his way down into the ring. Kennedy doesn't look thrilled to say the least.

Cage – For those who don't quite remember just who the hell I am, and for the benefit of the man standing in this ring before me - MY NAME, is CHRISTIAN CAGE... The crowd cheer frantically for the Canadian. ... and steps closer to Kennedy and looks him in the eyes if you don't know - NOW YOU KNOW. The crowd pop again. See for the past 4 weeks since my TNA contract expired I've been asked the same question over and over and over and over again by hundreds and thousands of you fans. And that question was - 'Christian, is it true that you are joining WAPW'? And 'Is it true that you're leaving TNA to join a brand-new wrestling organization?' See I got asked a similar question nearly four years ago when I walked out on the WWE, and that question was 'Why are you leaving WWE, to join TNA'? And I graciously told them straight, that TNA was the 'new thing' in wrestling, and that TNA was 'where it's at'. But fast-forward to January 2009 and I'm standing in the middle of thousands and thousands of people - LIVE - and i'm giving the same damn answers to the same questions. So for all of you that are in doubt, let me make it clear to the world - World Alliance Professional Wrestling is 'Where it's at'! Another Christian chant breaks out Now, some of you may be wondering why I chose WAPW over WWE, and over TNA. Was it money? Was it the need for a new adventure? Was it even as simple as to be performing live in front of different people every week at sold out venues across America? Well, in all honesty, yeah – it's probably a bit of all three. But let me get this straight, I'm here to make a name for myself in front of the millions of fans watching, and I'm here to build a legacy as the best in this sport today! Pop from the crowd. You can call me what you want, whether it be Christian Cage, or Captain Charisma, The Instant Classic ... the CLB ... a small round of boos from the Alabama crowd ... but all that matters is that sooner rather than later, you will all be calling me your WAPW World CHAMPION. So contrary to what the man beside me wants to believe, at Battle Lines, it's going to be Christian Cage - WAPW Champ.

Kennedy leers at Christian before putting his arm out of the ring and asking for something. It is then that a lower-being passes him a bottle of water. He unscrews the top and tosses it into the crowd, before pouring a considerable quantity over his own head and 'turning on the waterworks'

Kennedy – Wow, Christian, that was deep. Really. I'm touched. Your rags to riches story, your moral dilemmas - they touch me. I'm honoured to be in the ring with a true champ like you. Kennedy puts on a cheesy grin before patting Cage on the back in an over exaggerated fashion. He then slaps himself and looks almost as if a light has been switched on inside his head. Oh wait - I'm Mr Kennedy, and you should be honoured to be inside the ring with someone like ME!

Christian grins and squares up to Kennedy. Suddenly 'Big Things Poppin' hits as MVP steps out onto the ramp. He is backed up by Evans, Burke, Aries and Strong.

MVP – Now, now, I know what you're thinking and you can all stop rubbing your eyes because it's true - you all get to see MVP twice in one night! Now of course I must be out here for something important because I sure as hell wouldn't manna come out in front of you people again. Boos throughout the arena. So one that note, I'd like to remind the two of you that WAPW'S MVP has already addressed the world, and already put down a marker for the WAPW Title. He begins walking down the apron and talking. So with that in mind, I'm going to have to ask the two of you to leave quietly because this is my V.I.P lounge when I'm out here - and Christian, Kennedy - you're not invited.

He walks up the steps and onto the apron. He stares at Christian, who challenges MVP to get into the ring. As Cage is so focused on MVP, Kennedy jumps the Canadian from behind. It isn't long before MVP joins in, stomping away at Christian. The beating is one-sided, as the odds are firmly stacked in their favour.

A heavy and familiar drum pattern echo's through the arena, and the crowd explode onto their feet. Soon enough, the music kicks into gear as an immense pyrotechnics display explodes into action. "GOLDBERG IS IN WAPW" screams Joey Styles.

He emerges from the smoke and begins striding down towards the ring. One by one, MVP's men try to attack GOLDBERG but are disposed of; Evans sent flying with a boot, Elijah floored with a hard right-hand punch, Aries tossed into the crowd and Strong thrown into the steel barrier! In the ring, MVP and Kennedy look like two deer’s stuck in headlights; shocked at what they see before them.

Goldberg enters through the ropes and is immediately swarmed by the two of them but manages to fend them off temporarily. Just as they look to get the 2 on 1 again, Cage gets back up and evens the score, eventually clothe lining MVP over the ropes whilst Kennedy walks straight into a spear!!!

Styles – Goldberg and Christian Cage just cleaned house!!

Kennedy with MVP and his group make their way to the back after a stare down with the two men in the ring. Cage and Goldberg share a couple of quiet words, but seem to see eye to eye on the matter at hand. We go to a commercial break, with the main-event to follow in the last two segments.




COMMERCIAL BREAK





Howard Finkel stands dead-centre in the ring, and after the bell rings he announces the following Gauntlet match. The first two competitors make their way to the ring, first Paul London and then Jack Evans.

Match Four
Six Man Gauntlet Match For The Cruiserweight Championship
SUMMARY
Paul London and Jack Evans knew before hand that winning a six man gauntlet match was going to be hard, but starting as one of the first in the ring made it near impossible. Neither were willing to go down without a fight, the high-flying Jack Evan's nearly pinning Paul London after a stunning shooting-star-cross body - however it only garnered a two count. Paul London was the man to progress, pinning Jack Evan's after a leg-sweep DDT.

Eliminated @ 4.39 mins – Jack Evans

As Jack Evan's was 'escorted' to the back by WAPW officials, Puma made his way down the ramp and to the ring. The masked man started things off as they would surely go on, hopping up onto the top rope and nailing a perfect hurricarana, driving Paul into the canvas. That in itself could have sent the Texan out early, but no, as it was London who continued his momentum through, beating Puma. The end came as Puma went for a cross-body but was floored with a super-kick in mid-air!​

Eliminated @ 3.48 mins – Puma

The next man standing in the way of London was the Mexican, Mistico! The match was slowed down in order to conserve energy by the man who started the match off, and it paid off, beating Mistico. The finish came to pass as Mistico perched London up on the top rope, stood parralel to him on the second rope, but was downed with an awesome sun-set-flip from the top rope for the three! Mistico shook Paul's hand before exiting.​

Eliminated @ 4.20 mins – Mistico




COMMERCIAL BREAK





The penultimate test was The Amazing Red, and with just two men to go, Paul could surely sense that the title was close. Red put his friend-ship with London aside, getting straight to work and immediately making an impact just a minute into the match-up with a running (Red) star press, but only to a two count. The bout was seemingly dominated by the Brooklyn native, hitting a picture-perfect lionsault which similarly only got a two. The end came after 7 minutes of these two competitors - and the resilience of Paul London paid off. As Amazing Red went to the top rope, London somehow got his knees up and blocked a 450 splash! As both stars got to a vertical base, London managed to get a small-package cover for the three!!​

Eliminated @ 7.04 mins – The Amazing Red

Only one man stood in Paul London's way now - Teddy Hart. The brash Canadian wasted no time, sprinting into the ring and immediately covering his tired opponent, nearly paying off but a two count only. Hart went straight to the referee and complained, but then went straight back to work on London, punching him whilst on the floor. A couple of minutes had passed, and London had finally gotten back into the frame. Hart's clothesline attempt ducked, and was sent down with a spine-buster! London signalled to the top, the perfect way to end with a shooting star press - but no. Teddy Hart somehow slipped out of the way and London crashed straight into the unforgiving mat! The fans booed as Teddy laid in wait for his opponent to groggily get to his feet, and when he did, he was greeted with a back suplex, spun out into a sit out powerbomb - "The Hart Rate" as Matt Striker excitedly referred to it as. 1, 2 and 3.​

Winner and Cruiserweight Champion @ 3.56 mins – Teddy Hart

The fans cannot believe what they have seen, after all the effort Paul London put into that match - only to have it deemed worthless as Teddy Hart is awarded the title. He isn't content with that, as he gets on the mic and demands that Paul Heyman officially straps the title around his 'magnificent' waist. Heyman makes his way down with no music-accompaniment, and complies, holding Hart's hand aloft.




Fin.

Booker's Note - Okay, I'm glad I got the first show out of the way. Anyone who's ever written a created-fed will agree that it's probably the hardest one to write. I appreciate it's pretty long, but thing's can only get better - and shorter. All reviews returned. Thanks, Jon.

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!

La French Connection? If used you should eventually go with Rene Dupree and Rob Conway. They were the best of the threesome team. Conway is a leader on any tag team. I'm not sure if you have seen Ohio Valley Wrestling, but he was awesome there. Good backstory--way to get people interested! I will keep reading!!

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!

Paul London pulling out of his match with Teddy Hart is something that i usually wouldn't like, but i am fine with it this time. Insert Jamie Noble, please.

I don't like Gangrel. :(

I would prefer the PPV in full, but, hey man, its up to you in the end. As long as you churn out some greatness i am sure you will be fine.

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!

What is a 'FULL' PPV anyway? You write as much as you need to, there should be no pressure to write 'FULL' when there really is no set standard for a full show anyhow (and plus, this is a hobby. Rules FTL). Good luck, because I do read (though reviewing is becoming less and less a priority, I'm afraid :$) and I look forward to you producing future shows, because I believe you're pretty decent at where you stand.

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!

Rocker’s WAPW Hazard Review

Ahaa, the first thing I see is my banner that I made for you to use. Good to see it’s still being put to good effect, and it obviously puts me in a jubilant mood to start this, good for you in case this show isn’t spectacular, but tbh I expect it should be…

MVP Promo
After his big WAPW Title win at Battle Lines, the only sufficient way to start the show would have to be MVP cutting a promo. Great first line from the new Champ, some good cheap heat drawn from that on its own, I obviously don’t know what Daytona Beach is really like, but It doesn’t sound like it’s known for not being able to afford champagne… Anyways, nice that MVP doesn’t even blink to reiterate the odds that were stacked against him from the PPV, obviously he’s going to mention the big names that he beat, the biggest being Bill Goldberg. MVP tore into Mickey Rourke pretty well, enough to draw Rourke into the ring, but I’m glad that you didn’t humiliate MVP like Chris Jericho was by Mickey at WrestleMania. Christian Cage and Goldberg coming out was something I gave a thumbs-up to, I wanna see MVP vs. Goldberg or MVP vs. Christian at Full Throttle, fo’ sho’. I marked out for the big brawl to close this segment, and the faces driving Gen-Ex out of the ring. Great way to start the show, and I loved Matt Striker’s line when he said FX ‘sold out’. Just a commercial break, get over it.

Match 1
The opening promo got the show off to a good start, and this match is certainly continuing the momentum, with two high-fliers like Rey and Red going at it. Solid match, the spiral tap from Amazing Red on the outside of the ring would have been a must-see, and by the sounds of it wasn’t the only positive from this match. Good to see Rey get the win, and the two embracing after the match as expected with the two being faces, but it got very interesting when Alex Shelley took them both out afterwards. I don’t know how long you’re keeping this thing for with Shelley carrying around the X Division belt, but it’s pretty cool, and hopefully you can include it somehow in this Shelley/Rey feud. Ooh, I wonder what Bret Hart’s doing here, after Battle Lines?

Colt Cabana Interview
Normally I would criticise you for portraying a Superstar as being scared going into a match, but 1: It’s Abyss and 2: Colt Cabana’s someone I see fitting the bill perfectly. When he shouted ‘I DON’T KNOW!’ I immediately thought of the Lex Luger video I saw in YouTube when he was talking about Ron Killings and Superbrawl Saturday or whatever you call it. I don’t see why Cryme Tyme, sorry Street Inc came into this but I’m sure it’ll make sense eventually. At least becoming an ROH Fan has familiarised you with some of the guys from there, Cabana for example.

Alex Shelley Interview
Alex Shelley did what he had to do in this interview, he got over as a heel pretty well, when he said that it was a ‘new’ Alex Shelley I wasn’t sure as not much seems to be different thus far, but hopefully as you develop his character further in the coming weeks I’ll see where you’re coming from.

Match 2
It’s good that you’re pushing Ken Doane, and giving him a manager like Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts can only be beneficial to him. Matt Michaels is a good competitor who could do well in WAPW, but the only one winning this all along was Doane. The aftermath with Ken locking in the sharpshooter, especially as it was on Michaels with his connections to HBK was very creative, and I can see Doane turning on Roberts soon.

Aries & Strong Interview
Good that Austin Aries got the majority of the mic time, and he was great on the stick in this interview, although it was Shane Douglas doing the interview again so maybe use somebody different or space out the interviews? Apart from that, good segment, and this Gen-Ex/Team 3D feud is getting very good, so give it as much time and exposure as you can, imo.

Cage & Goldberg Interview
Another interview? God, that’s 4 interviews from the last 5 segments! I seriously recommend cutting down on these types of segments, you can just have them talking without an interviewer, Aries and Strong are two people who can do that well. Anyways, there’s obviously going to be a bit of tension between Christian and Goldberg as they both want the World Title, and Cage got over his ambitions well, as well as did Goldberg, I’m glad you gave him some mic time too btw. Mickey Rourke in an interview? It’s like TNA, bringing in the celebrities and using them like this. I hope he doesn’t get a run like David Arquette, no matter how big and what kind a movie Mickey starred in.Poor Colt…

Match 3
It’s good that you’ve expanded the Dudley family a bit more, with Eddie Kingston joining Bubba, Devon and Spike, but Aries and Strong were going to be the ones going over, provided that Team 3D wouldn’t interfere in the match. Bubba and Devon had to make an appearance at some point, and saving Spike was a good introduction, and it fires up the feud even more.

United Kingdom Promo
Short and sweet, McGuinness was good and his dialogue was fitting, especially when he used the ‘wanker’ word and said ‘bastards’ … I marked. Good promo, you spelt Sheamus’ name wrong twice, unless that’s officially how his name’s spelt in WAPW.

Match 4
After Colt got drunk earlier, that sealed his fate even though he had no chance before that anyway. Abyss was dominant in his win and Mr. Kennedy’s appearance added some interest to this, and Kennedy taking out Abyss made KK look good, I hope they have a match at Full Throttle tbh, that would be entertaining.

MVP Interview
Congratulations, that’s the 5th interview of the night! Cut down on them in the next episode, have something a little different. MVP calling Torrie a ‘blondie’ was funny, bit bland and easy to think of but still good. Should be a good main event.

Main Event
And now, the maaaaaiiiiinnnnnn eeeeevvvvveeeennntt! Elijah taking out Goldberg? Unrealistic to me, Bill could own Burke anyday tbh but it makes it interesting with Christian having to face Burke and MVP on his own. A clean victory for Burke and MVP is something I didn’t see coming, I thought CC would make a heroic comeback only for Burke and MVP to get themselves DQ’ed but oh well. More Rourke? You’ve gotta be doing something with him…

Overall, a good show, some interesting things happening but too many interviews I think. Speaking of interviewers, I think you should bring in … KYLE DURDEN. Keep it up, next week should be interesting, especially with the Hardocore Invitational, Sabu, Sandman, Raven and RVD making one-night appearances would be great. Good job.

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!




World Alliance Professional Wrestling presentsHAZARD!
Wednesday 11th March 2009
McKenzie Arena, Tennessee

Last week: Aries, Strong & MVP vs. Team 3D & Christian Cage
The back and forth main-event culminates in it all spilling out of proportion; Cage and MVP fighting on the outside rabidly, whilst Elijah Burke, Aries & Strong beat-down Team 3D inside of the ring! The referee has no choice but to put a stop to the main-event when GOLDBERG heads the ring in search of Elijah Burke! Sending a message to Burke, he enters the ring and immediately spears Austin Aries to the mat, before sending Roderick Strong out of the ring with a big boot to the chest. With Goldberg leering at Elijah Burke who had hopped the barricade to get a safe distance from him, he surprises many by spearing Brother Ray to the mat! The penultimate clip is of Goldy' hoisting up Brother Devon for a Jackhammer - the show then ending with Goldberg yelling into a microphone whilst leaning over the ropes "BURKE, AT FULL THROTTLE...YOU'RE NEXT!” The final sentiments from the man standing tall in the ring echo as we fade into the usual intro.

*OPENING VIDEO - 'HELL YEAH'*
*PYRO*

|Live Arena| After panning the crowd as usual we transition straight to the broadcast booth.

Joey Styles - Hello everybody and welcome to Wednesday night Hazard! I'm your host Joey Styles alongside my partner and your teacher, Matt Striker!

Matt Striker –Glad to be here in Tennessee, we’re at the McKenzie Arena and I cannot wait to call tonight's action because we're less than two weeks away from Full Throttle and you can bet your bottom dollar that many thing's will be going down here tonight, as always, on Hazard.

Joey Styles - Of course matches will be made, feuds will be reaching boiling point - I cannot wait! Last week we witnessed Goldberg's rampant pursuit of the man who brutally attacked him, Elijah Burke and boy did he ever make an impact - hitting the ring in our main-event and taking out both Gen Ex and Team 3D!

Matt Striker -Well how could we forget!? The man is on a mission and that is to get his hands on Elijah Burke, and we're hearing rumors that he may just get his chance at Full Throttle.

Joey Styles - I cannot wait for that one if that is indeed the case, but we're going to kick thing's off by rolling a video package. Now folks what you are about to see was shot earlier this evening before the live broadcast, MVP the WAPW champion and the boss Paul Heyman having a little discussion regarding the WAPW title scene. We’ve not seen this in its entirety so let's waste no time, guys in the truck - roll it!

|Backstage| After a brief pause due to the show being live we finally cut backstage to witness MVP making a brief walk through the corridor. He is wearing a typical white suit and has his title slung over his shoulder. His expression outside (and in) the office is that of distain. Knock at the door. Instead of waiting for Paul Heyman to tell him to enter he pushes down on the door handle and enters the room, slamming its wooden frame before taking a seat, all the while Heyman looks on in disbelief.

MVP -(He tries to spit out what he is attempting to say, but can't, instead unable to muster the control to speak). H-h-hoow. W-w-whyy?!

Paul Heyman looks rightfully puzzled.

Paul Heyman - (attempts to speak but is cut of by MVP, who motions with his hands for Heyman to stop). Well I do'...

After pondering on what to say, rubbing his chin and looking to the heavens for answers, he finally speaks.

MVP -What, inside the screwed up head of yours, made you put me in a match with Christian Cage at Full Throttle? A title match?!

The crowd pop for the mention of Christian and their match.

MVP -Why, why did you book me against him - again - after pinning him twice already? What? Third time lucky or something?! What?

Paul Heyman - Listen here, champ, as the boss around here I get to make all kinds of decisions with my 'screwed up' head. There's going to be some massive changes in WAPW soon, but seeing as I'm the boss - I get to book whoever I want, whenever I want. Heck, Montel ... champ ... I could put you in a title match tonight if I really wanted to.

MVP shakes his head in annoyance.

Paul Heyman - So the next time you barge into MY office, one of two thing's will happen: you're either going to find yourself in a title match - or your ass will be unemployed and on the street. K?

In a somewhat tongue in cheek manner, he nods his head reluctantly.

Paul Heyman - So, (in a slightly sarcastic tone) what can Paul-E do for ya'?

MVP -Well since you've already booked me against ya' boy Christian and Bret Hart at Full Throttle, Paul E, I think the odds are stacked WAAAY against me. So, I think, Paul E, that you should reconsider booking the match. Whadda'ya say?

Heyman feigns considering it before replying...

Paul Heyman - Weeell, I su-ppose we could always ... not! Listen MVP you're a champion and I'm going to treat you like a champion. You say you're the best, then prove it by facing the rest.

MVP -Oh hell no, I've faced the rest - and I beat them all. Battle Lines - Goldberg, Kennedy and ya' boy Christian. Oh, let's not forget Bret Hart - the man you two both put there to ensure that I walked out without this belt right here. The way I see it, in under 3 weeks I've had to face FOUR men for this title. Some companies have there guys wrestle once a month! Look I'm a fighting champion, there's no doubt about that - but to tell you the truth, man, I'm pretty banged up right now.

Heyman continues to subliminally mock the champion by pretending to be concerned, placing his hand over his mouth and looking gob smacked.

Paul Heyman - You know what, we'll change it. We'll change the match with you and Christian at Full Throttle. As of 11pm tonight - you won't be defending the WAPW title at Full Throttle.

MVP jumps up from his seat, grinning from ear to ear and laughing with joy. He slaps his title over his shoulder before making a move towards the door.

Paul Heyman - Unless of course you lose your match tonight, that is.

As the boss proceeds to rifle through some paperwork on his desk, MVP stops in his tracks and turns around with a look of confusion on his face.

MVP -... my match tonight?

Heyman looks up, puzzled.

Paul Heyman - Oh yeah, your match tonight with Abyss.

MVP now bares a look of shock as his eyes widen, though he tries to hide it and keep calm.

MVP -... okay. Okay, okay Paul, that I can - yeah, I can deal with that. No sweat. Me - Abyss - one on one tonight, you gotcha. I mean, it's pretty fair. No title defense at Full Throttle ... in return for a match with Abyss. I can - I can, deal with that. Yeah, I'm the champ I can deal with a match with him.

MVP swiftly makes an exit for the door almost fearing Paul's next words.

Paul Heyman - And if you lose the match tonight - you will be defending the title at Full Throttle, with Bret Hart as guest referee.

Heyman momentarily ducks down to his work, though MVP races back towards him, slapping his hands down on the table.

Paul Heyman - Wait, you thought I was just gonna let you off the hook that easily? No comprende` amigo, you're not getting out of a match just like that. As long as I'm in charge here, you have to earn it by beating Abyss tonight.

MVP -EARN IT!? Paul, these bumps and bruises all over my body from the match at Battle Lines - that's how I EARNT it. This TITLE right here, this shows how I EARNT it! As WAPW champion, I deserve a break! I'm the Franchise Player of this company, the highest paid ath-el-ete in this damn sport.

He regains his cool, before continuing.

MVP -As champion, I am respectfully declining both the match with Abyss tonight - and the match with Christian at the PPV.

Paul Heyman - Okay then if that's what you want, if you're that intent on weaseling your way out of matches - as boss of WAPW - I'm respectfully going to strip you of your championship right here on the spot!

As the live audience pop, MVP runs his hand over his head before coming to his final conclusion.

MVP -Alright ... my match tonight with Abyss ... it's on. BUT - you and all the people of Tennessee can bet your cheap asses that at Full Throttle - there's no title defense. Once I win tonight, there's no Bret Hart, there's no Christian Cage - and there's no PAUL HEYMAN trying to screw me out of my title.

MVP looms over Paul's desk, staring darkly into his eyes, before ousting himself and slamming the door.

|Elsewhere Backstage| We're now on location in the backstage area - a narrow hallway with cream-brick walls, and we see both Chase Stevens and Andy Douglas emerge from a doorway. Dressed in casual gear of light-blue jeans and t-shirts, they set off walking. All seems well as they continue their walk until we hear the squeaking of shoes on the cold floor - Jay Briscoe bursts into the scene and leaps at Chase Stevens from behind! The kafuffle turns into a fully-fledged attack as Briscoe pins Stevens down and lays into him with hard fists to the face and body. Stevens covers up - it's all he can do! Meanwhile their other-half’s are in action of sort, trying to separate the two of them. Unable to do so, eventually Jay gets to his feet, leaving Chase in a state and curled into a painful ball. As Douglas tends to him, Mark and Jay scedaddle. A WAPW backstage-worker comes to the scene attempting to get to Chase, but the battered man laid out on the floor is determined to do everything himself. Using Douglas to drag himself to his feet, he staggers around in the direction that the Briscoes went. Eventually he is sat down on a chair and a medic comes into view, attending Chase.



COMMERCIALS



|Video Package| A short video clip of the chorus from Rev Theory's 'Hell Yeah' plays. Afterwards a graphic appears stating that they will be performing live during the Full Throttle PPV. (Note - they also played to open the inaugural WAPW Hazard show. The official theme song for FT is "The Bleeding" by Five Finger Death Punch.

|Live Arena| The preliminary bell sounds and it is time for our opening contest!

*CRASH*

Sirens play through the speakers before turning into a heavy metal beat, as Ken Doane strides out onto the ramp. Wearing black shorts, pads and boots manager Jake ‘The Snake’ Roberts follows him to the ring. He hops through the ropes and stretches, bearing a look of steely determination whilst being instructed by The Snake.

*SUGAR SWEET*

Tailing a parade of two smokin’ hot babes, the ‘Sugar Daddy’ Lance Hoyt steps out onto the runway. He sports tight white leather pants, a matching white top-hat and holds a now signature metallic walking (pimp) stick. His strut to the ring however turns sour, as two of his girls begin arguing, stopping in the middle of the ramp and trading harsh words. Eventually ‘blondie’ pushes ‘red-head’ and before-long a bitch-fight erupts! They take each other down, hair-pulling and all, before scrapping on the ground and rolling all the way down to the ring!! Lance watches on looking fairly amused, hopping up onto the apron and watching on as a couple members of security separate the two of them…

Match One – ‘Anti Saint’ Ken Doane vs. Sugar Daddy Lance

With Lance’s back turned whilst on the apron Anti Saint Ken Doane jumps him from behind, clubbing him from off and onto the mat below! His assault continues furiously, laying into Lance with hard punches and a two-handed choke – legal since the match has yet to begin. His aggression would get the better of him once again, using it to stomp a hole into the body of his opponent. Eventually, after slamming his head into the apron several times, he roles him into the ring as the match finally begins.

Doane would naturally start the match with momentum after the beat-down outside the ring, barely taking a breath between his relentless attacks. Eventually the domination ended, with Lance in the corner Doane would run at him for a splash but find the cold ring-post! The Sugar Daddy follows up with a hard clothesline, evening the contest up a little.

The two would go on to joust for dominance, both scoring with near-falls and putting the hurt on their opposite number. Eventually approaching the eight minute mark, Doane would be hot off of a second wind and finds himself in the drivers seat. After hitting a highly forceful superplex to Lance, he waits for him to get to his feet – waiting for a chance to hit the forward-jumping DDT. However, the referee has no choice but to ring the bell as …

Winner @ 7.50 minutes – No Contest

The crowd are shocked as GOLDBERG of all people makes a beeline for the ring, charging down with fierce intentions in his eyes! Upon entering, he immediately spears the Anti Saint, sending him into the corner and clutching his gut. After taunting the crowd and getting them pumped up he turns his attentions to Lance, hitting him with a spear of his own! After a pause and staring into the masses he hoists the Texan up high in the air, before JACKHAMMERING him into the canvas below!!

*WHO’S NEXT*

Goldberg’s theme music plays triumphantly as he stands solitarily in the ring above the motionless figures of the two men that got in his way. He approaches a cameraman in the corner and stares into the camera, letting out a smile. He raises his hands once again, receiving a great pop, before heading up the entrance ramp. After reaching the peak of the ramp he turns and faces the crowd, grinning, before leaving the scene.

|Interview Area| We cut to the back where in front of the WAPW logo set, Shane Douglas holds a microphone alongside Mr. Kennedy.

Douglas – Ladies and gentlemen I am the Franchise Shane Douglas and I am standing by with Ken Kennedy! Kennedy...

Kennedy - What?

Shane looks confused, and rightfully so.

Douglas – ... Kennedy, las...

Kennedy gives a look of the peverbial face-palm, before continuing.

Kennedy - Kennedy Kennedy? No, no, no, no, no. This, Shane, is WAPW and I am a wrestler now. I'm Mr. Ken Kennedy - period.

Mr. Kennedy ... period, gives a nod of approval to Shane, who attempts to restart the interview.

Douglas – Ken, last week on Hazard we witnessed you lock your rival Abyss with his father James Mitchell in the lockerroom for virtually the entire show. Upon Abyss being freed, you attacked him. Aren't you worried of the impending war of which Abyss will ignite?

Kennedy - (Speaking in a typically quick tempo) Well Shano, if anybody's igniting a war then you can bet your ass it's Mr. Kennedy. See that sack is the reason that I'm not standing before you as WAPW champion, and last week was just a teensy slice of what's in store for the two of them. And by attacking him and beating him even more senseless than he already was, I sent a message. I sent out a message, Shano, to him and the rest of the lockerroom that 'nobody messes with Mr. Kennedy and leaves with there asshole in tact'. I hope that message hit home Abyss, but if it didn't, I'm coming after your ass tonight, next week and wherever the hell you're at! Hell, I'll follow your stupid-ass all the way to the asylum, to the padded cells that you call home. Wherever you go, Mr. Kennedy goes, and you can bet your sorry-self that...

*BEEP BEEP*

The sound of a phone-ringing cuts Kennedy off mid-sentence. At first he wears a look of disgust before looking at the caller ID and smiling, then answering the phone. The camera follows him as his takes a step out of the shot.

Kennedy - Yeah? Yeah this is Mr. Kennedy. Yes, I am the man who called earlier ... Yes ... Yes ... And how much would do you charge? ... Per body, or for the whole set? ... Really? Excellant! In that case I'd like to order three of your finest strippers! ... Yep. Uh-huh. No way, is that even legal? ... Well as a matter of fact they're needed a.s.a.p - I'm here at the McKenzie Arena. Yes. Okay. Na, na, na Mr. Kennedy doesn't swing that way I'm afraid.

Kennedy notices the camera following him, prompting him to take off with a smile on his face.

|Lockerroom Area| JTG and Shad are seated around a small, circular table, along with Jamie Noble and Brent Albright. All four of them are holding playing cards in their hands, and in the middle of the table lays a pile of crumpled up bills. Street Inc. and the Hardcore Champion Jamie Noble are smoking away at their cigars, whilst Albright remains in default mode. As the three share a laugh at the expense of Noble who dumps a handful of cash into the middle of the table, the door bursts open and in comes Colt Cabana.

Cabana – (In a comically high-pitch tone of voice) WHAT’S UP GANG-STAZ?!

Brent and Jamie look at each other wondering what the hell is going on, but JTG and Shad know all too well.

JTG – (Reluctantly) Oh – hey, Colt. We were just in the middle of a game...

Staggering from left to right, clutching intently at beer bottles in each of his hands, he makes a move towards the table bearing a intoxicated grin.

JTG – Look man, we got a game goin' on here, so...

Cabana – You want me to join in? Thanks guys, means a lot!

The table look on in annoyance as Colt pulls up a seat. As he goes to fall down he falls backwards, missing the chair completely and puling the poker table down in the process! Everybody groans, especially Noble and Albright who are furious at the game being ruined.

JTG – You drunk again, homie, AGAIN?!

Cabana – (In the slyest way possible, and still on the floor holding his ass) A little.

Shad – Listen Colt, you need to get yo' cracker ass in check, ite. You gots problems.

Colt looks offended, and shocked. He grabs onto Shads arm and attempts to pull himself up, but fails again, falling back onto the cold concrete floor. After letting out a cry of pain, he stays on the floor and looks at Shad.

Cabana – I got problems? Na, na, na - you got's problems. My 'cracker' ass is perfectly fine, you're the ones who have problems. I mean, would it kill you to get a decent table? And how about a decent set of chairs?

Albright and Noble up and leave, glaring at Colt as they walk by him. Colt reaches out to a bottle beside him, but Brent stamps on it and crushes it.

Cabana – Argh! No! No, no, no. NO!

Colt rolls over onto his side and appears to be crying, or at least sulking. JTG then gets up from his seat, and crouches down beside Colt, consoling him almost with his hand on his shoulder.

JTG – Look, I know we ain't exactly known each other a long time, but man - you need help. Jeez homie, we gonna get you help. You a joke around here. Next week, we gonna get you off that damn alcohol, okay man? You a damn athlete, you can't go around drinking ten can'a shit ever' night, ite? JT, we gotta match to get ready fo'.

JTG pats Colt on the back before heading out of shot, leaving Colt teary-eyed and surrounded by broken glass, cards, and next to an upside down table. Colt shoots up onto his knees and drags himself to the wet pile of broken glass, where he begins slurping the alcohol from the ground.

|Ringside Area| Howard Finkel is situated in the center of the ring, surrounded by the yellow and black setting. He introduces Alex Shelley, who apparently feels the urge for a PROMO.

*ALL ABOUT ALEX*

The crowd greet the cocky youngster with a healthy round of booes, as he struts out through the curtain and down the aisle carrying a burlap sack and wearing 'his' TNA X-Division title belt. He hops up onto the apron and stands facing the fans, leaning back on the ropes and raising both hands with his eyes closed. He soon enters, and snatches Finkel's mic, before motioning for him to get out. He drops the sack in front of him before beginning.

Shelley – Well here I am in Tennessee, wow. What to say, what to say, what to say. Looking around at you people, it's side-tracking me from why I'm actually out here. So on that note I'm going to forget about your appearances and the foul odors that my senses are being r.a.p.e.d by, and get on track.

After soaking in the expected booes, he carries on. He's in a much more calm mood than usual, and has a purpose.

Shelley – My point of coming out here, is Rey Mysterio. I guess, I guess you people would call him my 'adversary'. Well I'm afraid I'm gonna have to disagree with you all on that one, see there isn't an ounce of 'adversity' that Rey Mysterio can inflict on me. Nothing he's done, or will do, will mean anything to Alex Shelley anymore. I hate to dwell on the past, but my history with Rey is a fairly short one. I mean, I grow up admiring the man and all he's done, and what happens when we finally tangle in the ring? He get's lucky. He get's lucky at my expense. To tell you the truth, it hurt. At the time, it hurt. Now however I've come to accept that every dog has it's day, even a dog the size of Rey Mysterio.

Shelley paces around the ring a little bit, gathering his thoughts and looking deep into the Tennessee crowd. He radiates confidence and sheer arrogance.

Shelley – Some say it's not about the 'size of the dog', but the 'size of the fight' that the dog brings. That's all well and good. I mean, you people can believe whatever you want, but I on the other hand - am a truth seeker. I like to revel in the truth and nothing but. It is with that in mind that I have the pleasure of informing you that at Full Throttle in under 2 weeks, I get the match which I have been wanting, and what you people have been wanting. It's keeping you wet at night, huh. Well now it's going to become a reality because at Full Throttle on PPV, I step into the ring with Rey Mysterio and finally vanquish him from the memory of my WAPW career.

After speaking slowly and concisely, he pauses to grin in the sea of mild heat.

Shelley – Little 'Rey Rey' is the man who put a blot on my WAPW win-loss career, and who ruined my start here. My first shot at a main-stream promotion, and he got in the way. I'm all for getting beaten by a better man; or at least I would be if such a man existed. At Full Throttle you will all witness moi, Alex 'Best in the entire freaking god-damn world' Shelley - serve up Rey Mysterio Jr's comeuppance. Now, I'm hearing rumors that Rey isn't here tonight, well entirely here tonight. However fret not my fans, for Total Nonstop Alex has the next best thing...

He drops the mic and steps across to the burlap sack. He leans down and picks it up, pulling the strings until they loosen up so Shelley can place his hand inside. After a short rummage around, he pulls out REY MYSTERIO'S MASK! This generates incredible heat from the fans, all the while the Detroit-native is wearing a massive smile of confidence. He is loving the show he's putting on. Speaking of putting on, he places the red mask from last week on his head, pulling it down across his face. He picks up the mic once more.

Shelley – Apparently in Mexico a mask is the source of a wrestlers mystique, and a part of who they are. For Rey, it's more than just a way to cover his ugly face - well at least that's what he will claim. Well, Rey, if you're watching, I spit on who you are. I could care less about your heritage, and the legacy of your uncle and all of the Mysterio family. This is 2009, and as I said, I've forgotten the past. From here on out - it's 'All About Alex'.

Shelley raises his hands high in the air, receiving even more booes, before being interrupted by the music of Rey's friend, Mistico!

*MISTERY*

The 'other' masked man receives a great reception; 1) because he's interrupting the hated Alex Shelley, 2) because he's the shit. He steps out and immediately makes tracks down the aisle and into the ring, Shelley backs against the opposite set of ropes - still in the ring. Alex drops the mic, taking a small step inwards. He is seen to be asking Mistico if he wants to go, and Shelley appears to be willing to fight. He removes his black t-shirt, stretches a little bit, before taking another step in. Mistico then makes a move towards him, but Alex retracts and hops out of the ring through the ropes!!

Styles – Well it would appear that Alex doesn't want anything to do with Mistico!

Striker – Yes, either that or he hasn't had a shot for swine flu just yet...

Alex carefully circles the ring, eventually getting around to the ramp-side. He soon begins to back up and leave, disappointing Mistico who is more than ready to throw-down. The fans boo and hiss incessantly, as Shelley is now at the rope of the ramp facing the ring. However - from through the curtain comes REY MYSTERIO!! The man we thought was resting up at home is here in Tennessee and on Hazard! He blind0sides Alex, sending him forward, before a braw erupts. Rey unloads with a flurry of punches until they are outside of the ring. With Rey taking the offensive and looking good for his money, Shelley takes the easy way out with a well placed thumb to the eye! This allows him to hop the barrier and escape though the crowd before Rey or Mistico can get to him. As the two fan-favorites embrace stand alongside eachother, Shelley is on his way out of the arena apparently - escorted by a few large security guards of course.

|Video Package| Hazard returns in the form of a video package. All the action, all the drama and all of the stars of WAPW will be taking part in the ‘Crossing Borders’ tour! The four episodes of Hazard following Full Throttle will air from four different countries – Mexico on the 25th March, England 1st April, Japan 8th & India 15th. WAPW – Crossing Borders!

|Live Arena| With a one on one bout on our hands, Howard Finkel is standing in ring to introduce the following contest.

*BRONX ANTHEM*

New York born and bred, the cousin of Ray and Devon makes his way to the ring to a decent reception. Accompanied by Spike, to even the numbers, they wait in the ring for Eddie’s opponents.

*THE EX LEVEL*

Without fail Roderick Strong is followed by Austin Aries to the ring, garnering a typical heel reaction. Though a little apprehensive, they soon enter the ring, with Austin loosening up the shoulders of his partner before the match gets under way.

Match Two – Cousin Eddie vs. Roderick Strong

After being brought into WAPW along with Spike Dudley by cousins Ray and Devon, Eddie Kingston was immediately embroiled in the hateful feud between possibly the two best tag-teams in the world. He was itching for a win in this match after falling short with Spike against Gen Ex a couple of weeks ago, and was also unsuccessful in his ventures for the Hardcore Title last week as well. He would be going into this match looking to soften up Strong for when the two teams ultimately meet at Full Throttle. Last week Team 3D offered the youngsters any type of stipulation match they would like, and later on in the show Gen Ex will give us an answer.

The tide of the match swept in both men’s favor during the course of the match. Eddie Kingston's power and ruggedness would contest Roderick's sheer technical ability. Mid-way in the bout a stiff forearm busted the lip of Strong, drawing a constant trickle of blood for the remainder of the fight. Decisively in the eleventh minute the match came to a close, when Eddie Kingston picked up the win. With Roderick seemingly on course for a somewhat fortunate win, he was fired off into the ropes by Eddie. When he hit the ropes Spike Dudley was on hand to grab hold of the leg of Strong momentarily, distracting him. This allowed Eddie to hit the awesome spinning-back fist to the mouth, setting up the win.

Winner @ 11.08 minutes – Eddie Kingston

Styles – Turnabouts fair play! Spike Dudley taking a page out of Gen Ex's underhand play book!

Striker – Pfft, taking a page? Joe, those damn Dudley's wrote that damn playbook!

Aries would soon jump Spike Dudley in anger, causing a brawl on the outside. It soon entered the ring, as all four men fought amongst themselves. Aries and Strong had gained the advantage in this fight, stomping down their respective counterparts. However, the champions, Team 3D, soon hit the ring prompting their nemesis' to flee ever so typically. As Devon kneels down to tend to his half-brother and cousin, Ray stares down the two on the outside, attempting to goad them into the ring.

|Interview Area| The lovely Torrie Wilson is standing by with Austin Aries and Roderick Strong. Strong is holding his neck following the brawl, and Aries is out of breath after fleeing.

Torrie – Hey everybody, I'm Torrie Wilson and I'm joined at this ti...

Austin Aries immediately snatches the microphone from Torrie, prompting her to retreat to the back of the scene.

Aries – 3D! (He breathes heavily into the microphone before continuing) LAST WEEK, YOU GAVE US AN ULTIMATUM! YOU GAVE US THE CHOICE OF STIPULATION AT FULL THROTTLE! I THINK IT'S PRETTY DAMN FUNNY, HOW THE ONLY TIMES YOU STEP INTO THE RING WITH US IS WHEN THERE'S A STIPULATION INVOLVED! You KNOW, that you can't BEAT US in a regular tag-team match! But you know what, we accept your challenge for Full Throttle. We're going to stoop to your level, AGAIN, and show you up on PPV.

Austin slaps the chest of his partner Roderick, who grins.

Aries – See, myself and Roderick, we mulled over what stipulation to choose. We looked through every possible match-up, and every possible gimmick, and we've found one. We looked at Cages, Street Fights - hey, you guys would just LOVE if we chose the street fight wouldn't ya! Well sorry about your damn luck champs, but at Full Throttle we take the tag-team titles from you - in a LADDER MATCH! Haha!

He passes the microphone over to a much calmer Roderick Strong.

Strong – Austin is right, it is going to funny - funny seeing if you can both haul your fat asses up that ladder and retrieve the belts! It's not about who can throw who through a table, or who can hit harder with a steel chair. In this match it's about speed, athleticism and bravery - three thing's that you can't hold a candle to us at. At Full Throttle we beat you, and we beat you good. Those belts - they're coming home to the Messiah of the Backbreaker, Roderick Strong, and Double A, Austin Aries.

Both look at each other knowingly before rushing out of the scene.

|Paul Heyman's Office| Sitting at his desk is Paul Heyman. He looks at his watch as if to be anticipating an arrival. Shortly after, he gets his wish as GOLDBERG enters the room.

Heyman – Bill, take a seat.

Goldberg looks at the chair in front at him and turns his nose up at it, instead electing to stand in front of Paul's desk.

Heyman – Alright then.

Goldberg – Look man, I'm not a 'take a seat', 'suit and tie' type of guy. You called me in here, so what do you want?

Heyman – Well Bill I respect that you are who you are, and you do what you want to do, but I called you into my office here to ask why you felt the need to interfere in a match earlier tonight?

Goldberg smiles to himself, whilst Heyman looks up at him with intrigue.

Heyman – You don't give a damn, do you?

Goldberg – Paul, I'm gonna be straight with ya. Earlier tonight was nothing personal against those two guys, it was business.

Heyman – Business? What business do you have with Ken Doane and Sugar Lance?!

Goldberg – Well I figured one of those two guys was in line for a shot at Burke's title at Full Throttle, so I did what needed to be done. Understand this Paul, at Full Throttle it's me that faces Burke for the title. Not Kenny, not Lance, ME.

Heyman – I respect that you want a shot, but if you think that's the way to go about getting one - you're sadly mistaken. As for Full Throttle, as of right now - I haven't decided who the number one contender is. BUT, Bill, if you want an OPPORTUNITY at a title shot - it can be arranged. You need to understand that you have no special privileges, no special dispensation - no nothing, until I give it to you, and for that you have to earn it in the ring. So Bill here's what I'm going to do.

Goldberg places his hand on his hip, and with his other one rubs the beard on his chin, intently listening to Heyman.

Heyman – Next week on Hazard I'm booking a match with you, Ken Doane, and Sugar Daddy Lance. The rules of the match are pretty simple - you will start off the match with either Lance, or Kenny, and after you pin them or they pin you, you face the other immediately. Pretty innovative, huh.

Goldberg – Yeah, that's really neat, Paul.

Heyman – However until then, all I ask of you is to keep your hands clean and stay out of other peoples matches, okay?

Goldberg nods, smiling also.

Goldberg – Ha, we'll see.

After Goldberg vacates the room, Heyman relaxes in his chair, taking a deep breath and a long sigh as he loosens his tie.

|Live Arena| We return from commercials to see The UK, Nigel McGuiness and Shamus O’Shaunessy standing in the corner of the ring ready for tag-team action.

*HITTIN' THE STREETS*

Street Inc. emerge through the entrance way to a positive crowd response. Big Shad follows the enthusiastic JTG to the ring, remaining calm and determined as JT jives his way down the ramp and into the ring. The boys from the streets take off their bling and expensive 'hood wear' and ready themselves for action.

Match Three – The UK vs. Street Inc.

Both teams knew that a win here on Hazard would put them in the title picture following Full Throttle. With so many great tag teams in WA' both The UK and Street Inc. will have to get wins under their belts in order to move up the pecking order.
Nothing remarkable about the fairly short bout; Nigel McGuiness sported a heavily taped right arm due to a long-standing bicep injury, though looked in top-form in the bout. With McGuiness and JTG the legal men at the six-minute mark, Colt Cabana decided to make his way down the ramp, stumbling his way to the apron drinking from a beer bottle. With Shad and JTG looking on in annoyance, Colt would hop up onto the apron. The referee is tying to keep Shad from entering the ring, inadvertently distracting him in the process. Nigel and JT' take the fight over to where Cabana is standing, and in an act of alcohol fueled disillusion, Colt swings with the beer bottle attempting to hit Nigel - but instead SMASHING his buddy!! Colt cannot believe what he has done, and is soon knocked down onto the apron by the Brit. JTG falls to his knees clutching at his head, allowing McGuiness to back up and hit a low-angle LARIAT!! 1,2 - put a fork in it.

Winners @ 6.49 minutes – The UK

The victors choose to scarper and fast, as Shad tends to JTG in the ring. The UK celebrate on the ramp, but in the ring Colt is looking on at what he has caused. Shad shoots up and berates Cabana, pushing him into the ropes. Colt retaliates with an attempted right-hand, but misses by a large margin. Upon turning to face Shad he is floored with a big boot to the sternum knocking him out of the ring.

|Lockerroom Area| We cut immediately to the back and our cameras latch onto some commotion involving Abyss and Jim Mitchell. The camera is waiting outside the lockerroom, the door 90% closed, where we can here the screams of Abyss. Mitchell can be heard distinctively shouting for Abyss to “Just hit them” but apparently to no avail. After ten seconds the camera man finally does his job and slowly enters through the door where at the opposite side of the big, plain room – Abyss is cornered by three male strippers! We can see the bare naked behinds of the three men, dancing in front of Abyss who is powerless! He can’t bare to look. Seconds pass and they continue their erotic dance. Soon enough James Mitchell remerges with a fire-extinguisher in hand, firing a smog of white into the direction of the strippers. We can now see nothing of the men, and Abyss soon crawls out, coughing and spluttering.

Striker – (Laughing) You talk about permanent mental scarring!

Styles – As if Abyss didn’t have his problems already! I think that this may just be the work of one Ken Kennedy!

|Announce Table| Joey Styles and Matt Striker are seated as usual at ringside, and both are hyping up the next match – the main-event – Abyss and MVP!

Styles – Welcome back everybody to Hazard, Joey Styles with Matt Striker, and coming up next is the match that determines what happens at Full Throttle. Will MVP defend the title on PPV against Christian Cage? Not if he has anything to say about it! If he defeats Abyss tonight – then he gets a free-pass at Full Throttle!

Striker – What was it that the champ told us earlier – four title opponents in the space of four weeks? It’s ridiculous quite frankly. No athlete, especially one in a sport such as wrestling, should have to put their bodies on the line so many times against so many times – and plus, ya know, he is the champ – he should get a say in what goes down.

Styles – Well in any event, he’s putting it on the line one more time in just a few short moments against the monster, the crazed Abyss – imagine what a win would do for the career of Ab…

Joey Styles stops mid-sentence, his attention swayed as Matt Michaels runs down the entrance ramp and around the commentary booth. Out of breath and with a black up-side down cross painted in-between his eyebrows he speaks maniacally to the commentators. His voice is filled with panic and a sense of urgency.

Michaels – Put me on! P-put me on the air! God, please damnit! You all need to know. You need to know before it’s too late. Years, months, weeks, days – it’s all running out. It’s upon us! He’s upon us Matt, he’s upon us Joey! He’ll be here before it’s too late – no, it IS too late. 2009 years too late. It’s time, men, damnit! Argh! 25 – 3 – 3 – 25. Purity he’s not, he … white … contradictory! He’s coming. Azrael. Azrael, Azrael – Azrael. 25 – 3 – 25 – 3.

*BIG THING’S POPPIN’*

As the WAPW champions music hits, Matt Michaels scatters. The champ doesn’t look entirely pleased to have to compete here tonight, and gives Michaels a strange look as he runs up the ramp past him. Soon, the champ enters the ring, parading his title high into the sky and rather emotionlessly prepares himself for the next match.

*INTO THE ABYSS*

MVP remains a look of calmness and collection in the ring, no small feat for a man who’s stepping into the ring to do battle with Abyss. The big man storms down and into the ring, tailed by ‘his father’ Jim Mitchell. The chains from around Abyss’ neck are tossed into the corner of the ring, as this match nears its inception.

Match Four – MVP vs. Abyss

After a shaky and apprehensive start for the champion he soon found his trademark confidence and displayed just why he is the champion. With the crowd rooting for Abyss for this match, they most certainly wanted to see MVP fail and thus defend again Christian at Full Throttle.
The match wasn’t pretty – a low tempo bout with the pace rarely picking up. Abyss’ tunnel-vision-like aggression would be often countered by the careful and methodical ways of Porter. After nearly fifteen minutes of this contest the end finally came; MVP looked the most likely to get the win, countering a black-hole slam attempt into a DDT. With the champ set to earn a night-off at Full Throttle the referee found himself knocked down after an inadvertent clothesline from Abyss. This would allow Christian Cage to briskly make his way down to ringside, to do a little bit more than just survey the surroundings of Tennessee. After passing by the bell-ringers table to grab the title he slides in under the ropes and into the ring. MVP is down and slowly making his way to his feet – CRACK! Christian runs and nails him with the belt! Abyss and Cage then lock eyes on each other. Cage walks aw… - CRACK! He surprises everyone by nailing Abyss, too! With the referee still down Cage raises MVP to a level-base before downing him with an Unprettier! Abyss slings his arm over; 1 … 2 … 3 … 4 …5 – BRET HART! The Hitman emerges from the tunnel wearing a referee’s shirt!! He swiftly hops through the ropes and makes the cover – 1, 2, 3!!

Winners @ 14.41 minutes – Abyss

Bret Hart stands amidst a great reception, taking in the crowds reaction. With MVP down, it isn’t long before Elijah Burke and Jack Evans make their way into the ring to help cordon off their man. Abyss exits the ring at Mitchell’s orders, leaving Christian on the outside of the ring looking in. He runs his thumb over his lip and bares a grin of accomplishment before exiting with Bret. At the top of the ramp is where the show ends, with the visual of Cage and Bret shaking hands before embracing in a heartfelt hug.

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!

MVP and Paul Heyman: A very interesting and well-written segment Power, I didn’t expect that, both MVP and Heyman were very in character and everything just flowed really, really well. I felt engaged in the promo, I could picture it all in my mind so well done on that. It had a bit of everything I thought and a nice Main Event scheduled, it was a nice touch having MVP say he isn’t defending the title because he is the champ of the brand and Heyman cutting him down a peg, well done. Great stuff.

Douglas/Stevens/Briscoes: Another good little segment, the way you describe everything is great, ‘cold’ floor, a nice touch no matter how small it is. Jay just seemed vicious in this, I must say although if I were Douglas I’d be attacking Jay just as much as if I was Mark I would’ve been attacking Douglas or Stevens. It’s interesting to see were you go and having Chase try and do it on his own showed he was determined to exact revenge, hopefully we do see some continuation of this.

Doane vs. Hoyt: A decent opening contest, you have created some real nice characters for these two, it’s something different. Some good writing, some of the moves were put in the right places and such but I felt the Goldberg run-in overshadowed the match, there is nothing wrong with that as Goldberg seems a bit of a Loose Cannon right now and I don’t mind that. The only thing is, unless I read it wrong, you had the referee stop the bout because of the interference. Now, I believe he stops it before Goldberg does anything? I guess that’s okay, but usually wouldn’t the referee wait until he has done something before ringing the bell which means Doane would’ve won since he attacked Hoyt first? Either way, there was no wrong answer, just a little confused.

Mr. Kennedy Interview: Interesting interview, not sure about him dropping the Kennedy… Kennedy bit but I guess it means he might be taken more seriously. The phone call about strippers in mid-promo kind of took away from it I think but it was a decent promo nonetheless. Kennedy firmly believes he should be WAPW Champ and it seems he and Abyss have unfinished business.

Colt Segment: I thought this was a rather amusing segment, again it’s something different even playing cards and then Colt coming in drunk, it’s interesting and I will be following to see where it goes. It seems everyone is tired of Colt’s drunkenness and we’ll see where that leads us. Good segment though.

Shelley/Mysterio/Mistico: Again, another good little segment, Alex Shelley’s lines were written incredibly well and if he said half of that in the ring in real-life if he was ever in the same company as Rey then he would, I’m sure, get incredible heat. I liked that Mistico came out though trying to protect his friend and then Shelley left, I didn’t expect Rey to come out but it was a nice touch that he did but in the end Shelley escaped, I’m looking forward to further confrontations and the match at Full Throttle between the two.

Kingston vs. Strong: It was a no so ‘strong’ performance from Roderick Strong but a good match, Kingston getting the win, in my opinion was the right direction to go and the frustration of Aries and co. after the match was taken out on Spike prompting Team 3D to come up, advancing the feud which helps, I am looking forward to this one too. Also, the stipulation of a Ladder Match, surprising choice but a good choice. Austin seemed really intense and angry too. I’m thinking after what was said that Team 3D will win but I guess we’ll need to see.

Goldberg/Heyman: Goldberg just seems like a raving lunatic right now, but that is a good thing, he seems like he is just nuts and could take down anyone at any moment and that was shown in the opening contest. I want to see Burke/Goldberg and I’m pretty sure we will end up seeing that, I certainly hope we do.

The UK vs. Street Inc.: A nice little contest, I like that you referenced McGuinness’ biceps injury too. Colt coming out was unexpected and the you know what has hit the fan between Colt and Street and I expect to see further confrontations, you can go down a number of routes with this too.

Abyss Segment: Oh, that’s what the strippers were for! Nice man, nice I didn’t expect that, very funny segment, Abyss certainly didn’t seem to enjoy that, that’s for sure.

Matt Michaels Segment: Can I ask, since I have only started following this again, is Matt Michaels, Matt Bentley the cousin of Shawn Michaels? Anyway, weird little bit from Matt here, really weird who is Arzeal and what does 25-3 mean? I’m confused and intrigued at the same time.

Main Event: A very good main event, I’ve always said it should be the best of the night and it was. A lot of action it seemed and I like how Christian screwed over MVP to get the match to stay on but hit Abyss too, unexpectedly. Bret Hart coming out was also nice and I’m looking forward to Full Throttle.

Overall, a very good show that has me VERY interested in Full Throttle, we will see were you can go from here man.

Well I'm certain your ban is just a few days, so I'll take the time to comment on this while I can. I am definitely, definitely, definitely happy that you've gone back to this, as you know I was a big fan. tbh, things were in a bit of a rut for you when you were last here, and I'm almost certain that's why you left it, although getting out of that rut is your next challenge, I guess.

Only thing in your news worth commenting on is the Flair situation. While I hope to see him in WAPW, I don't want to see him just being there. Make it for a purpose, plz.

Matchwise, PAC vs Teddy will absolutely steal the show. Looking forward to that one for sure.

Hopefully you're unbanned soon and posting again.

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!

Hmmm, Big Money takeovers are taking over the game. Shame really, except for the fact that we get to see some awesome players in the Premiership. Anyway I'm not from England. I'm Welsh:p

The rosters are actually pretty decent. I did point out the realism thing, but I don't have a problem with people breaking realism at all. Interesting to see the roster spilt into different divisions. I like it.

So far so good Power. I'm enjoying this project. Keep it up:)

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!

The roster looks good, and pretty realistic. MVP as a main eventer should be excellent if you book him correctly. The PPVs you revealed don't appeal to me. Maybe I'm wrong, but none of them seem to be distinctive. Like WWE have ONS being all-gimmicked and Cyber Sunday being fans' choice. All of yours seem like your average generic PPV.

I'm really looking forward to the first show. Shelley/Mysterio should be great. And that gauntlet match will be epic! In full more so, but recap will do.

Good luck with the thread. Has a ton of potential.

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!

Jingles WAPW Review!!

Heyman's opening speech

Well when I first glanced at this I fort that by the lenght of his speech, its going to be dragged out and boring but you really kept it toghether and I really fort it was good. I fort we seen a kind of soft side to Heyman but it was creative. Also regarding tonights match I like how you are different in nearly all of the created feds people always have their top titles won and usually other titles but I like how you have just had the
Cruiserweight title won.

MVP's segment

Now this was one of my favourtie parts of the show. Man you really write MVP good. You have written him to play off the heat from the crowd, its really creative. With Burke, Aries, Roderick and Evans alongside him I think he will play a good strong role in this promotion.
Match 1

Decent opening match, I expected Aries and Strong to pick up the win with the clan at ringside. I liked how the ending played out getting some of the stable involved establisng that they are ready to get in on the action. The ending helped kick start a feud between the two sides.

Christian Cage Babyiii..

Nice addition to WAPW, of course he will be going for the title although i cant say im a fan of Cage but you did write him out well.

London segment

Well Torrie as an interviewer, I've always prefered her as a wrestler/valet. But anyways nice build-up to tonights main event I think London will possibly win saying as he the one being interview lol .

Match 2

Sugar Daddy Lance i really like the gimmick lol, I think he will make it through to the final round but a duno
wether he'll win. It was a good match and with the storyline coming on for Abyss i think it was right for him to only be beat by roll-up. I liked Mitchells segment with Abyss, i didnt really think Mitchell would want Abyss back. I fort he would have wanted revenge but I looking forward to this seeing how this storyine enrolls.

Dudleys Segment

Man you are really good at keeping in character. I enjoyed this segment they actd it out really well and it helps start their fued.

Match 3


Nice way to get some heel heat on Shelly by having him wear the TNA X-Division title, very creative. Another
strong match and I was positive that fan favourite Rey Mysterio would win.

Heyman Phone Call Segment

Once again this was really good but it seemed weird like it was Heyman speaking to like higher managment but mmmm,... whos the mystery guy!!!!

World Title Segment

This was a good way to set up the challengers for the WAPW World Title. Kennedy, Christian and MVP are all
good players and then GOLDBERG!! Yesss so he was the mystery guy . Goldberg is a good addition to the roster
but I think he really has the title in the bag coz basically he is to powerful for the rest of them. But i bet you can come up with soon sneaky creative way for another champ :p.

Main Event

Well a great fast paced main event, I would have loved to see this match in real life it would be awesome. As the match played out I new London wouldnt win it was just too much for him. Im liking the new champion and im sure London will be chasing down the title as he got so close.

Overall

Well this is one of the better shows I've read in a while, you just seem to have this great creative sense lke WCW Rules just not as good yet lol. But if you keep going this thread will be up there. You certainly no how to write people in character. Please keep this thread going as I really enjoyed it and I will be back for the next show.

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!

WAPW Hazard preview - 4th February 2009

For only the second time in its short history WAPW Hazard comes to you live on FX! This week’s edition emanates from the Target Centre in Minneapolis Minnesota, with a main-event that will surely prove to be epic.

On the inaugural episode the entire roster were eager to impress and looking to put down a marker for the rest of the roster. Christian Cage put it best stating that WAPW was all about “old friends, and new enemies”. Speaking of the Instant Classic, he was involved in a ground-breaking confrontation with MVP and Mr. Kennedy, which resulted with Bill Goldberg hitting the ring and coming to the aid of the Canadian! Paul Heyman had promised that a former WWE World champion and WCW champion would be unveiled – and the twelve thousand plus fans were not disappointed! How will this unfold?

This week’s edition would feature the second half of quarterfinal match-ups in the race for the North American Title! Last week we witnessed Rey Mysterio defeat an arrogant Alex Shelley, as well as Sugar Daddy Lance (Hoyt) pinning The Monster Abyss! Tomorrow night we will witness Elijah Burke step in the ring with Jamie Noble, and the Mexican star Mistico battle Maverick Matt Michaels! Following the match between Abyss and Lance, James Mitchell hit the ring and proposed to Abyss to return ‘home’ to Mitchell’s guidance. It all seemed too much to handle as the monster fled.

Team 3D will be in search of revenge after being cheated out of a win in the first ever WAPW match. Austin Aries and Roderick Strong were aided by allies Jack Evans and Elijah Burke. Ray and Devon swore that they would get even and prove to them why they are the most decorated tag-team in wrestling history. But will the youngsters be willing to step into the ring again?

The tag-team title scene looks promising. Team 3D, Aries & Strong – this week Jay and Mark Briscoe will look to leave their mark on WAPW, taking on the duo of Nigel McGuiness and Shamus O’Shaunessey. The latter call themselves ‘The United Kingdom’, will they be able to topple the Briscoe Brothers? The titles are vacant, remember, and every team will be looking to stake a claim for the title match at the PPV – Battle Lines.

The WAPW, North-American, and Tag-team titles may all be vacant - but last weeks main-event spot was occupied by a gauntlet match for the Cruiserweight Championship. Paul London and Jack Evans started the match off, and London somehow managed to outlast four more competitors before falling to an oportunistic Teddy Hart. The Champion won't be in action tonight, but anything can happen and will.

On the subject of Battle Lines, live from the New Haven Coliseum in Connecticut – you can catch it for the small sum of just $12 live! A three hour night which will definitely go down in history, with a price like that – you can be a part of history. Tickets are already on sale, just visit WAPW.net for more information.

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!

A 5.1 rating is incredibly unrealistic when you consider Raw last week IRL drew a 4.1 and that was the highest rated show in 2 years. Hour 1 drew a 3.84 - 5.48m viewers and hour 2 drew a 4.35 - 6.4m viewers. I follow ratings, just wanted to point this out!

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!

I hate it when people who give a shit about realism so much come into other threads and complain because someone isn't doing what they feel they should be doing, but I cannot possibly envisage a new company, regardless of the hype and how good your roster is getting a 5.1 in this day and age, maybe 5 years ago, MAYBE, but definitely not these days.

That being said, I've been impressed with what I've seen so far Power. I was skeptical to check this one out, fearing it'd be like every other indy promotion thread bar EPW and GWE that are actually entertaining, but I am glad my assumption was wrong, because overall I think you've got a good set of workers to utilize and you are quite a decent booker. Goldberg & Christian are obviously the BIG draw names but having Kennedy & MVP around is good too, building them as the future I guess.

Your promo work is quite solid, Christian was fairly well written and if you can capture Goldy, Ken and MVP like you managed to do with Christian, you'll be on your way to some good stuff.

Sorry I don't have time to drop full comments on your show, little busy atm, but you have enough here to keep things interesting and make me come back for more later on. ;)

Re: Paul Heyman's World Alliance of Professional Wrestling!

Ly, Bitch. Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad there's some issues I can look to address!

So, Albright's promo was decent. albeit extremely generic. Sure, he sorta got the message across, and that was that he was better than anyone initially thought of him. It just wouldn't really draw the interest of the crowd in though, resulting in them not caring too much. It seems you have him set for the upper-midcard role, which I guess is aight considering he's pretty good in the ring. I just think you need to do more with him besides making him Benoit from the grave.

"I think a one-off promo just to get his feelings known was needed. He won't be a regular on the mic, and hopefully his character will shine through given the neccessary time, rather than the current generic one".

What I didn't like about this is that the storyline climaxed so quickly. It only just began, and now Abyss has quickly decided to join Mitchell. Only three shows in. The payoff would've been much better if you went with a slow build, tbh. The whole storyline is really a bit rushed. =/

"Yeah, that had occured to me, but it would mean having Abyss continuously flounder as a babyface which I honestly loaaathe. The roster needed a monster heel I thought also."

Aries was pretty good in this promo, though I think he dwelled on the nagtives of 3D a bit too much. He also has to build them up at the same time. Sure, they're old. Saying that is acceptable. But calling them washed up isn't a good move. Just think, if Aries and Strong do beat 3D, what have they really accomplished? Nothing. They beat two washed up old guys who are well past their prime. If they lose they must be complete shit. 34D came out and built themself up, so that was a savibg grace, making them look good with the tag titles. I just think you need to keep in mind that keeping someone's opponent looking at least alright is probably in the best interest of the wrestler.

"Yeah, I admit that didn't do much for 3D's fortunes but I guess time will have to play a hand in getting it done properly. Sticks 'n' stones, k?"

Kinda disappointed to see Aries and Roddy pick up the win. It seems like the buildup would've been better going into the PPV if 3D had cheated to win this time, sintead of being pussies and allowed Gen Ex to do the same thing again and pick up the win. Makes them seem kinda soft. Don't like a team losing in front of their home crowd, btw.

"Na, losing in front of the home-crowd is never good for a team, but fuel to the fire as they say. I think this will probably be a fairly long-term feud. Maybe up until the March PPV, Full Throttle, anyways. Don't really want to dwell on long term feuds anyways atm, though there's one I have in mind".

Ergh, Hoyt to the finals? Yuck. Mistico vs Mysterio would've been epic, but instead you've gone down a less than pleasing path, tbh. Shelley running in and screwing Mysterio was aight, though I hate you for having Rey lose to this piece o' shit. Still don't like the X belt thingo.

"Haha, I know, I know - Rey > Hoyt 1000 times over, but I wanted to get across how cocky Shelley was after losing two weeks ago and only reacting now. Meh, a feud will come out of it anyways ;) Oh, the whole thing with that belt is basically to emphasise how WAPW 'owns' TNA's ass. I could have put that in a more logical way, yes, but still. WCW did something similar during the Monday Night Wars."

Thanks again, bud. EX OH EX OH.
