Live from historic Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, it’s the IWL’s inaugural episode of All-Star Wrestling! The camera pans around the arena, showing the crowd cheering.
Stanford: Hello everybody, and welcome to the IWL’s All-Star Wrestling! I’m Scott Stanford, and with me tonight are my broadcast colleagues, Paul Heyman and Jerry “the King Lawler”. And guys, what a show we have tonight! Heyman: That’s right Stanford! Tonight, as announced on IWL.com, we have the first three qualifying matches for the IWL World Heavyweight Championship Tournament. Tonight, Samoa Joe takes on Low Ki, Rey Mysterio battles R-Truth and Chris Jericho goes one on one with Captain Charisma, Christian! Lawler: And if that’s not enough, Drew McIntyre collides with Luke Gallows! It’s an action packed show, and I can’t wait!
Time to play the game!
Lawler: Aaah! And we’re starting things off with Triple H!
Motorhead’s “The Game” blasts through the arena sound system, and the Cerebral Assassin emerges from the back. The crowd goes nuts as Triple H does his usual entrance routine.
Triple H, microphone in hand, stands in the middle of the ring.
Crowd: TRI-PUL H! TRI-PUL H! TRI-PUL H!
Triple H: Tonight, and over the next few weeks, you’ll be hearing from a lot of the IWL wrestlers. They’ll be saying that they deserve to win this upcoming Championship Tournament. They will say that this is their time, that this is their destiny. They will go the extra mile to show that they are the future of this company.
Fair enough, a lot of this company’s wrestlers are the future. But they’re forgetting one thing. I’m the present!
My name is Triple H. I’m the Game, the Cerebral Assassin, the King of Kings. Everyone else thinks it’s their destiny to win the tournament. I know that it is a fact that I will win. This tournament is a load of smoke and mirrors. It creates the illusion of fairness, and is simply masking the truth. That it is a formality for the inevitability. The inevitability that I will be the first IWL World Heavyweight Champion!
And if you’re not down with that, I’ve got two words for ya!
Before Triple H can give us those two words, Sting’s music plays.
Stanford: It’s Sting! Lawler: Oh no, this could get ugly.
The crowd goes wild and Sting comes out onto the stage, microphone in hand. Triple H doesn’t look too happy as he walks down the ramp and into the ring
Sting looks Triple H up and down.
Sting: So, this is the mighty Game huh? The King of Kings, the legendary Triple H.
I respect you Triple H. I respect everything you’ve done. You’re a legend in this business. Your name is synonymous with the wrestling industry. You defined an era, and established yourself as a household name throughout the world.
We’ve both faced some of the biggest names in wrestling history. But our paths have never crossed.
Triple H: What’s your point Sting?
Sting: Only this. Just imagine it for a moment. At Lord of the Ring, live on PPV, in the finals of the tournament, in a battle of the two biggest names in wrestling, to crown a new Champion and determine the greatest of all time. Triple H vs. Sting.
The crowd cheer at what Sting’s just said. They like it!
Sting: Just imagine it!
Triple H thinks for a moment.
Triple H: I respect you Sting. I respect all the things you've accomplished in your career. But I don’t like you. It’s nothing personal, I don’t like anybody.
You are a legend in this business Sting. But there’s one problem, one small issue.
Sting: And what’s that?
Triple H: You’re not me. Yes, you’ve done a lot Sting, but it’s nowhere near what I’ve done. I’ve had more legendary matches than you. More World Championship reigns than you. Hell, I’ve even got higher merchandise sales than you.
Triple H looks at the crowd
Triple H: Which reminds me, you can make those figures higher still by picking up the new Triple H t-shirt at the merchandise stands right now, or by logging on to the IWL online store at http://www.iwlshopzone.com!
Sting: Well, two can play at this game. Why buy a tatty shirt with Triple H on it, when you can be the cool kid in the playground with the new Sting t-shirt!
Triple H goes back to serious mode.
Triple H: Face it Sting. Over all, I’m a bigger name than you. A bigger name than you will ever be. Yes, I do want to face you in this tournament. Not to see who is the greatest because we already know that, but to teach you some humility and respect.
Sting and Triple H go nose to nose.
Sting: You know what, why wait for the tournament? Why not make the first episode of All-Star Wrestling a historic one and go head to head right now?
Stanford: Are you nuts? Sting vs. Triple H right now? Heyman: Please, as if Hogan would have a PPV match for free on TV. Then again …
The crowd erupts as “Real American” plays, and the wrestling legend and Commissioner of the IWL, Hulk Hogan, appears. A huge “HOGAN!” chant is heard in the crowd.
Hogan: Stinger, Triple H, hold on a minute brothers. Let’s not get all hot headed and come to blows. This is the first episode of All-Star Wrestling, and I don’t want any ugly brawls. I want a nice, cool, chilled show and no controversy. So c’mon guys, let’s leave this here.
Sting: Alright Triple H, I’ll leave it there. But when we meet in the tournament final, we’ll see who really is the greatest.
Triple H smiles.
Triple H: See you there “Stinger”, where you will pay homage to the King of Kings. And if you’re not down with that, I’ve got words for ya …!
Crowd: SUCK IT!
Triple H and Sting drop their microphones, and stare each other down, nose to nose.
A video plays on the IWLTron, highlighting the press conference where Hogan was announced as the Commissioner of the IWL.
After the video finishes, we’re back in the ring for our first match.
MATCH ONE Qualifying match for a spot in the IWL World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Samoa Joe vs. Low Ki Winner: Samoa Joe
After the match, the hurt Low Ki rolls out of the ring under the bottom rope. The ref raises Samoa Joe’s arm in victory. Joe quickly pulls his arm away from the ref, and calls for a microphone.
Joe: I’m gonna keep this short and sweet. Many times in the past I’ve been forgotten about and kept down for the benefit of the old timer veterans who should be retired. Well I guarantee that that isn’t happening here. I’m making it my mission to smash any glass ceilings above me. No one will keep me down. This is Joe’s ring, and if you’ve got a problem with that, you know where to find me.
Joe throws the microphone away, and climbs out of the ring as we head for a commercial break.
COMMERCIAL BREAK
We’re back from the break, and we’re at the back, where Christian is in his locker room. Captain Charisma is warming up and stretching, getting ready for his back match against Chris Jericho later on. And speak of the devil, Y2J himself appears. The crowd cheer as Jericho comes in.
Jericho: Hey Christian!
Christian: Hey Chris, how ya doin’ man?
The two give each other a friendly hug.
Jericho: Yeah I’m good.
Christian: It’s amazing isn’t it, to think that we’re main eventing the very first IWL show.
Jericho: Yeah about that. You know I’m not gonna go easy on you right? I need this win, Christian. To be crowned the very first IWL World Champion, that’s why I’m here.
Christian looks a bit hurt.
Christian: Well that’s a bit selfish Chris.
Jericho: Huh?
Christian: I mean, yeah, it’d be amazing to be crowned the first IWL World Heavyweight Champion for your own self-esteem. But I’m not doing that for me. Out there, there’s an arena full of people who like cheering for Christian, and I’m going to win for them! I want to make their lives happy, not just mine.
Jericho: Well I’m doing it for my Jerichoholics too!
Christian: Oh yeah, now you mention your fans! I’m the one doing it for them Chris. You’re doing this for you, and that’s selfish. They’re the ones that pay your wages at the end of the day, so you should be competing and winning for them.
Christian crosses him arms in a huff and turns his back on Jericho. Jericho looks confused, then smiles and chuckles to himself.
Jericho: Just listen to us bickering over nothing; we’re like an old married couple!
Christian: Oh, so now I’m old?
Still looking hurt, Christian walks away.
Jericho: Oh now Christian! CHRISTIAN!
Jericho sighs as he watches his friend storm off and shakes his head.
Jericho: What the hell was that about?
We leave the befuddled Jericho and head to the IWL Interview Set, where Maria Kanellis is with the Master of the 619, Rey Mysterio.
Maria: Rey Mysterio, later on tonight you face R-Truth for a spot in the IWL World Heavyweight Championship Tournament. Your thoughts?
Mysterio: Well Maria, I’ve known R-Truth for a long time and he’s a hell of a competitor. But I’m not going easy –
Before Rey can finish, R-Truth turns up.
R-Truth: Hey dog. Glad to hear you ain’t going easy on me, ‘cause I ain’t goin’ easy on you neither. I haven’t tasted big time world championship gold before, and I’m very hungry. So you better be careful Rey, because when I’m hungry, people get hurt. And that’s the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.
R-Truth walks off, and we head back to the ring for our second match.
MATCH TWO Drew McIntyre vs. Luke Gallows
Tommaso Ciampa runs in. He grabs McIntyre from behind, and hurls him through the air with a German Suplex. Ciampa springs to his feet and McIntyre crashes to the mat. Gallows charges towards Ciampa, but the smaller man lunges at Gallows, and takes him down with a devastating spear. The ref calls for the bell.
NO CONTEST
Ciampa grabs a microphone.
Ciampa: Well here we are, the first episode of All-Star Wrestling. And I haven’t got a match? Not even a dark match? Well I’m making a stand now. I’m not going to be forgotten about. I’m making an impact, I’m going to show why I should be a part of this show.
The screen flickers to life to show Commissioner Hogan’s office. He doesn’t look too happy.
Hogan: Now c’mon brother, this was uncalled for. When our fans buy a ticket for an IWL show, they want hot popcorn, cold soda, and no interference in their wrestling matches.
You say you want to make an impact huh? Well I’ll tell you what brother. Next week, I’ll give you a chance to make an impact by giving you a qualifying match for the IWL World Heavyweight Championship Tournament.
Ciampa smiles and nods. He likes this!
Hogan: Your opponent? Triple H!
Ciampa mouths “Oh c’mon!” at Hogan’s announcement, annoyance across his face. Ciampa leaves the ring, and the IWLTrong comes to life with a video.
Back in the ring, Ricardo Rodriguez is standing tall and proud.
Ricardo: Señoras y señores, es con gran honor y un placer que me presento a un futuro miembro del Salón de la Fama. El mejor luchador del mundo, el León de México, señoras y señores: yo te doy, AAAAAALLLBBEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRTOOOOOOOOOOOOO DEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Del Rio’s music hits, and out comes the Mexican Aristocrat, driving a very expensive Rolls-Royce. He stops by the stage, and climbs out. He walks down the ramp, showing off his swish suit and white silk scarf.
Del Rio climbs into the ring, and takes the microphone off of Ricardo.
Del Rio: Earlier tonight I heard Triple H and Sting go on about how they will face each other for the IWL Championship. They talked about how they are the best in the business, and that this is their destiny.
Del Rio smiles and scoffs.
Del Rio: Winning this tournament and being crowned the first IWL Champion is no one’s destiny, but mine. Wrestling is in my blood, in my genes. I was born into wrestling greatness. Of course, it doesn’t hurt having a few extra pesos more than the average peasant, giving me the best training money can buy.
The Philly crowd obviously doesn’t like snobbery, as they start to boo Del Rio. The Mexican Aristocrat doesn’t take any notice of them.
Del Rio: Next week, you will be honoured to see me in the ring, on my first step towards accomplishing my destiny. And after next week, it won’t be Triple H and Sting you’re all talking about. It will be Alberto Del Rio.
Del Rio leaves with Ricardo Rodriguez, as we get ready for our third match of the evening.
MATCH THREE Qualifying match for a spot in the IWL World Heavyweight Championship Tournament R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio Winner: Rey Mysterio
COMMERCIAL BREAK
We’re back from break, and the camera shows what looks like an old abandoned church. It’s creepy looking, and down on his knees is a man wearing a white hooded robe. The church is dark, except for a ring of candles around the hooded man, and the odd flash of lightning. The hooded man is looking up at a large cross, his back towards the camera.
Mordecai: My father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done. Give me strength, for I now walk into the valleys of the enemy, to deliver the innocent from evil, and to smite those who wield the weapons of Lucifer. I now go into battle, to purge the world of all that is unholy, all that sullies and defames your Name. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory. For ever and ever.
A bolt of lightning lights up the entire church as the sound of thunder tears through the sky.
Mordecai: Amen.
The screen fades to black, and the words MORDECAI appear.
Back in the arena ..
MAIN EVENT - MATCH FOUR Qualifying match for a spot in the IWL World Heavyweight Championship Tournament Chris Jericho vs. Christian Winner: Chris Jericho
A weary Chris Jericho raises his arms in triumph, his music playing. Christian rolls out of the ring, looking quite upset at his loss.
Stanford: And that’s all we’ve got time for tonight. From Paul Heyman, Jerry “the King” and myself, goodnight!
