PROVING GROUND
July 12, 2009

The show opens with a man standing in the center of the ring, dressed in a nice suit. He is holding a microphone to address the crowd, with a familair voice
Man: Good evening ladies and gentlemen & welcome to the first ever show of Revolution Pro Wrestling! My name is Joey Styles (the crowd cheers) here at ringside here at the new RPW Arena in downtown Baltimore (the local crowd cheers louder). Let's start things off with a word from the man that has made this night possible, the owner of RPW: Justin Morgan! (Morgan comes down to the ring to a loud chant of "Thank you" from the fans.) Now, Mr. Morgan, the floor is yours.
JM: Well, I just want to welcome everyone here tonight to the first of many great wrestling shows that RPW will be presenting to you. I'm gonna keep this short, sweet, & simple. Baltimore has been over the years, one of the hottest wrestling cities in the U.S. & here in RPW, we have amassed some of the greatest talent the businiess has ever seen, some of them local, some of them internationally known. Now while I may own this company, I have decided to let someone more qualified than myself run the in-ring product. That means booking the matches & making all the hard decisions in reguards to the talent. I'm not going to be one of those owners that needs to be constantly seen in the ring or involved in any storylines. I am turning complete control over to just one man...
Just then the opening guitar notes of Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Freebird" plays as founding member of the Fabulous Freebirds Michael "P.S." Hayes steps from the back. Hayes is greeted by a roar of cheers. He steps into the ring & shakes the hand of the owner before taking the microphone from his hand.
MH: I want to first off thank Justin Morgan for giving not only me, but, all you fans a chance to witness first hand the start of what will be a major force in the business of professional wrestling. And secondly, I want to thank him for giving me the opportunity to run this company's in-ring business so that we can put on the best possible shows for all the fans. Like he said, tonight you will see talent from all over the world showcased right here in this very ring.
Hayes is interupted by Saliva's "Superstar 2" as 2 young men step from the back looking ready to compete. They enter the ring, one has a microphone of his own.
Man #1: Well, well, well, what corner of what dive bar did they have to drag you out of to get you here? Since you are the man in charge, allow me to introduce ourselves. My name is Tyler Hilton and he is Zachary Shane, together we are the best tag team that this company has. You should get to know us real well, Michael, because we are going to rule this ring like no others, including your infamous Freebirds.
ZS: You may as well hand over any championships to us right now. If you don't, you're just delaying the inevidible.
MH: What is it with you kids today? I swear to God I just don't get it. You come out here runnin' your mouth. You don't care about anybody. You don't care anout anything. And you show no respect for the business that people like me, The Road Warriors, & The Von Erichs built so you can even have what you got right now. You guys get rent-a-cars waiting for you where ever you go. You get guarenteed contracts. And you don't have to pay any dues & you never learned about respect.
TH: You might want to watch your tone, Hayes. You see, there's 2 of us & 1 of you. You don't have your Freebirds to back you up anymore. There's no Buddy Roberts & there sure as hell isn't a Terry Gordy anymore.
Hayes turns red with anger and just before he can take a swing at Hilton, Shane blindsides him, knocking him to the canvas. The 2 men stomp on Hayes, until JTG & Shad Gaspard of Cryme Tyme rush out from the back for the save. As Hayes collects himself on the outside, the 2 teams brawl in the ring. Hayes calls for a referee to make this an official, yet impromtu, match.

"The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero come to the ring and takes the ring announcer's microphone.
DD: Tonight, I am going to skip the introductions & get straight to the point. I am here because RPW needs The Pope's blessing. RPW, even though still in it's infancy, needs a savour. And I am that savour. So, anyone that feels he needs their faith renewed, someone that "The Pope" can convert and make a believer come on out to the ring and become Pope's ultimate sacrifice.

Joey Styles gets back in the ring to introduce his guest for a special interview.
JS: Ladies & gentlemen. my guest at this time is the former Ring Of Honor World Champion: Nigel McGuiness.
McGuiness gets a mixed reaction from the live crowd.
NM: For the past few years, I have made alot of sacrifices in this ring to be a champion. I have wrestled with torn muscles, concussions, I have bled buckets of blood to entertain fans around the world. I have done whatever it takes to be on top, only to have the fans turn on me & tell me that I don't deserve anything that I worked so hard for. So now, I'm here in RPW to prove myself all over again. Prove to you fans that I am the brightest star that shines in this ring. And before any of you know it, I'll be the one true champion here.
Suddenly, familiar music plays & the crowd erupts as "Captain Charisma" Christian steps out from the back with a big smile & a mic of his own. Christian joins McGuiness in the ring, still smiling.
C: Did I hear you correctly? Did you just say that you are the brightest star in this ring? First of all, outside of some geeks on the internet, no one even knows who you are. But, all my peeps know exactly who I am (the crowd breaks into a "Christian" chant). Now seeing as how neither of us has our gear on, why don't we go in the back, get changed, and later on tonight see just who really steals the show.
Pantera's "Walk" plays in the arena & just as Christian interupted McGuiness, he finds himself being interupted by none other than ROB VAN DAM.
RVD: Hang on a second Christian. Did I just hear you say that you wanted to see who could steal the show? Did you forget that I was here? How can you expect to steal the show, when RVD is the "Whole Damn Show"? Now if you 2 want to have a match later to see who's star is on the rise, that's fine by me. Just remember, nobody is higher than (points to himself) R-V-D.
C: So I guess what you're saying Rob is that our little 1 on 1 match just became a triple threat.
NM: That's fine by me! You 2 wankers have no idea what's in store for you. Make no mistake, my name is Nigel McGuiness, and I am in it to win it!

The familiar sound of a high pitched guitar plays as The Hart Dynasty come to the ring as the crowd boos. They step between the ropes & Natalya grabs the microphone for her team. She hands it to David Hart Smith so he can address the crowd.
DHS: Now, everyone knows how great of a wrestler my father was. But, as great as he was, I'm that much better.And I stand here next to not only my best friend, but, the very last protege of Bret "The Hitman" Hart. My uncle Bret used to refer to himself as "the best there is" and "the best there was", and he was right up to that part. Because right here in this ring as a team, we are "the best there ever will be".
Fort Minor's "Remember The Name" plays as their opponents: Team Macktion come to the ring. The 2 teams get ready to square off, until, the ring announcer informs them that there has been a special referee assigned to the match. Just then, Kenny Dykstra steps out from the back wearing a striped shirt. He walks slowly down the aisle to the ring to a mixed response & joins the 4 in the ring.

RPW Commissioner: Michael Hayes returns to the ring.
MH: Just to show how much of an impact we are making here tonight, we have a special guest that has asked for a match. This man has been a World Tag Team Champion, a United States Champion, a.... WHO BETTA THAN KANYON Hayes is stunned as Chris Kanyon steps out from the back & makes his way into the ring.
CK: Thanks Michael, I know that its an honor for you to have me here. And yes, I did want to face the best this company has to offer, but, seeing as how it looks like all your guys are too tired after their matches...
MH: Whoa, hang on Chris. I knew you were in the back, I knew you wanted a match, but, I wasn't talking about you. Now, if you're serious about competing tonight, the man I was talking about would love to get in the ring with you.
CK: That's fine. i don't care. I can take on anybody. Like I always say "Who betta than Kanyon?"
Yo! It's me, it's me, it's D-D-P! Kanyon's eyes go wide with surprise & just a little bit of fear as his former tag team championship partner steps out from the back. DDP puts his hands up to form his "diamond" & then gives his signature Bang! gesture before coming down to the ring. Hayes calls a referee out and the match is official.

A MATTER OF RESPECT
August 16, 2009

The show kicks off with Joey Styles welcoming everyone to the arena, but, he is soon interupted by Christian's music. Christian takes the mic from Styles and tells him to get out of the ring.
C: Last month, it took both Nigel McGuiness & Rob Van Dam to beat me in this very ring. They double teamed me, they took turns beating on me, and I did everything I could to try & fend them off, but, 2 on 1 was just to much for me to handle. So what I propose, is that tonight, to make it up to all my peeps, NIgel McGuiness & Rob Van Dam face me individually & we see just who is the best.
Rob Van Dam's music plays as he walks to the ring.
RVD: Christian, you & I have known eachother for a long time. Now, you & I both know that last month, it was every man for himself. We all wanted to win that match, and we all did what we had to so that we could come out on top. But, if you want to face me 1 on 1 tonight, I got no problem with that.
Nigel McGuiness' music plays as the winner of last month's main event steps down the aisle, stopping midway to address the 2 men in the ring.
NM: If you 2 are done playing kiss & make up, I believe that there was a 2nd part of Christian's challenge that has yet to be answered. I pinned you 1, 2, 3 in the middle of that ring last month. Now, you want to come out & whine & cry about it being unfair. And Rob, you & I obviously have some unfinished business, but, you rushed out here to accept his offer, forgetting about me as well. That is a show of utter disrespect to the man that got his hand raised in a match against both of you.
C: Just a second mate, I know exactly what I said. I did challenge both of you to a couple of single matches and from the looks of it, you're both accepting. But since you 2 have unfinished business, why don't we do this: let's have ourselves alittle "Round Robin" action to find out just who the best really is once & for all. That means, me against you, Rob. Me against you, Nigel. And the 2 of you against eachother.
RVD agrees & so does McGuiness. McGuiness says he wants the first match, so Van Dam gets out of the ring so Christian & McGuiness can get things started.

RPW Commissioner: Michael Hayes comes to the ring to ake an announcement about the next match. He tells the crowd that even just after 1 show, his phone has been ringing off the hook with requests from wrestlers to come & join the RPW roster. So tonight, he has offered 2 tag teams a chance to face off, with the winners getting a spot on the roster. He hands the ring announcer a card with the names of the first team on it & as their music plays, "The Anarchist" Arik Cannon & RoH mainstay Claudio Castagnoli come to the ring to a mixed reaction. Before their opponents can be introduced, a familiar sound is heard throughout the arena. "OH YOU DIDN'T KNOW? YOUR ASS BETTER CALL SOMEBODY!" The corwd goes wild as former multi-time tag team champions B.G. & Kip James come to the ring. Cannon & Castagnoli looks upset over their surprise opponents. B.G. & Kip get into the ring & B.G. takes the mic & goes into his own intro for his team. |
BJ: Ladies & gentlemen, boys & girls, children of all ages, Revolution Pro Wrestling is proud to present arguably the greatest TAG TEAM IN THE WOOOOORRRRLLLLLD: "The Road Dogg" B.G. James & my brother from another mother: the K to the I to the P, we're riding high one more time, THE JAMES GANG!
KP: Now there are 2 guys from just alittle more up North that like to say this too, but, I think we do it better. So if you're down with that, WE GOT 2 WORDS FOR YA,
The crowd shouts in unison: SUCK IT!

So why don't you come on out & take the beating that we have for you.

FALL BRAWL
September 27, 2009


RPW Commissioner: Michael Hayes comes out to start off the show. Hayes thanks the crowd for making the last 2 shows such a success & informs them that next month will start off a tournament to determine the first RPW Heavyweight Champion. He tells the crowd that it will be a 16 man tournament with participants from all over the world. The crowd cheers for the announcemen, but, that doesn't last long as Hayes is once again interupted by Tyler Hilton & Zachary Shane, aslo known as Priviliged. Hilton runs down Hayes' announcement by asking him why he is ignoring the tag team division. Hilton explains that this is what always happens in wrestling companies, the tag teams are looked at as nothing more than filler. Hilton goes on to say that Hayes should know better than anyone how difficut it can be for a team to make it in this business. Hayes cuts him off & tells Hilton that he is right. He does know that it is hard for a team to make it, and just to show them how hard it can be, he tells the duo that they have 2 sets of opponents for a match, right now.

Unfamiliar music plays as Frankie Kazarian steps out form the back. Kazarian tells Nigel that he has noticed NIgel really likes to hear himself talk, especially since no one else is talking about him.

Tyson Kidd then issued an open challenge to anyone willing to come out & face them at that moment. Without hesitation, Cryme Tyme answered the challenge and made their way to the ring. But, before they could get too far, Zachary Shane & Tyler Hilton attacked them from behind. It was a 4 on 2 beat down that continued until Hardcore Holly & Rob Van Dam charged the ring armed with chairs. The 4 assailants bailed to the floor & quickly retreated to the back as Holly & RVD checked on Cryme Tyme.

Joey Styles is in the ring as "The Pope" D'Angelo Dinero comes to the ring for his 2nd round match. Styles starts to question Dinero, but, gets stopped the self proclaimed "Pope".
DD: First of all Joey, when you talk, don't speak directly at me. You know that "The Pope" don't breathe the same air as you. Because you as well as the rest of these infidels aren't worthy to breathe the same air as "The Pope". Now, "Pope" has gotten through the first round & in mere moments, he will defeat RVD and go on to next month's final to become the RPW Champion. But, just when "pope" should have been celebrating that no good Drake Younger had to come in & try to ruin it all. I beat him down last month & just like a zombie risin' from the grave, he came back for more. Make no mistake, "Pope" will not forget this injustice. The congregation will ensure that he gets his punishment. And "Pope" is gonna win that title next month & show his congregation, whether they believe or not, that "pope" is the true saviour they have been waiting for.

Before the final match of the night can begin, Christian takes the mic to address the crowd. He tells the fans that next month he will once again achieve a goal that no one thought he would ever be able to. He goes on to say that for almost a decade he was told that he was too small, that he didn't have the right look, and that he just didn't have "it". He says that now that he is performing in front of real wrestling fans that he knows just what "it" is. (the fans chant Christian's name.) He says that the fans know what they want & you can't fool the fans. Christian says that all he ever needed was an opportunity, and next month is the ultimate opportunity to prove himself again. And he vows to win the title for all the peeps that believe in him.

NOVEMBER TO REMEMBER
November 22, 2009



Collective Soul's "Welcome All Again" plays as the crowd finds their seats & RPW Commissioner: Michael Hayes comes to the ring. Hayes reminds the fans that tonight's main event will be a Four Way Elimination match to crown the first RPW Heavyweight Champion. This brings out former WWE & ECW Champion: Rob Van Dam. He tells Hayes that it will be just a waste of time to hold the title match later, and that he should just hand the belt over now becuase the only man walking out as a champion tonight is Rob Van Dam (points at himself as he says his name). Hayes tells him that while he may be the crowd favorite to win tonight, he'll still have to go through 3 others to prove he deserves to wear the gold. Van Dam smiles and reassures Hayes that he will walk out as champ, but, if that's how it has to be; he'll fly higher than ever before to walk out wearing the gold.

As the crowd boos, Nigel is joined in the ring by Mikael Judas. The duo is soon joined in the ring by their opponents, the 2 men McGuinness insulted: McBride & Bourne.

Before he can go on, Austin Aries comes to the ring to confront the RPW Commissioner. Aries complains that he has been treated unfairly ever since his arrival in RPW. He says that Hayes plays favorites and since Aries is obviously not one of them, he will never get a fair shake. Hayes counters by asking just what Aries has done to deserve to be elevated, pointing out that he has lost every match that he has been put in since RPW first opened its doors. Aries gets angry, but, before he can do anything Hayes tells him that he will give him one more chance to prove himself. Hayes explains that there is another man on the roster that is unhappy with the way things are going for him so it only seems fair to let them face off to see who will be the one that can rise to the top. As Hayes exits the ring, Frankie Kazarian's music plays. Kazraian steps out from the back & makes his way to the ring as the crowd cheers.

C: With all that's going on tonight, it seems like I might be the only one with my eye on the prize. But the last time I checked, this wasn't an episode of "The HIlls". This is professional wrestling, and I am a wrestler, that's what I do, it's what I am. I have sacrificed everything for this business. But all the good things in my life are also from wrestling. I grew up dreaming of becoming a wrestler. I proved all the people that laughed at that dream wrong. Then they said "you might be a wrestler, but, you'll never be a champion." And I proved them wrong again by becoming the NWA World Champion. And tonight I will make those dreams come true... again. Rob Van Dam, Chris Harris, Monty Brown, I won't quit. I won't surrender, not now, not ever. If you don't know, now you know.

Destiny has brought me to this place at this time. It will be the next chapter in the ongoing saga that is the tortured life of Raven. I will rape, pillage, plunder this company until my prophesy is fullfilled. A prophesy of rage, turmoil, and chaos. I will tear this company asunder from its very foundation. No one will be safe.

Lost, seeing the champ weakened, attacked Brown & dropkicked his seemingly injured back sending "The Alpha Male" crashing to the floor. Officials rushed out to restrain the champ & help him to the back to get checked out by the trainers.

Castagnoli & Aries continue to stomp Kazarian until he is almost motionless. Castagnoli then picked up Kazarian & drug him to & forced the semi-conscious Kazarian to kiss Aried boots. Then dropped him face first on the canvas as both men laughed, while the crowd booed. The camera cuts away & Joe Satriani's "Mind Storm" plays in the background of what looks to be an old school ECW style "Pulp Fiction" ending.

Tyler Hilton: (to Zachary Shane) You know, when you have it all like we do, it's hard to find anything that could be missing. But, what's missing are the RPW Tag Team Titles.
Monty Brown: Scott Lost, you wanna try & jump on the "Alpha Male"? Well next month, you come on back to the Serengetti, my hunting grounds, and once again you will feel the POOOOOOOOOOUUUUNNNNCE
Nigel McGuinness: Ryan McBride, for the last 2 months you have embarressed me. For that I am going to make you pay. I am going to mangle you. I am going to make you not only wish you never became a professional wrestler, but, wish you were never born. And as sure as my name is Nigel McGuinness, I will break you. And I will enjoy every second of it.
Raven: (Quoting Megadeth's Sweating Bullets") Hello me. Meet the real me and my misfit's way of life. A dark black past is my most valued possession. Hind sight is always 20-20, but, looking back it's still a bit fuzzy. Speak of mutually assured destruction? Nice story tell it to Reader's Digest.
Drake Younger: All the drama is behind me and now it's time for me to focus on the goal that brought me here: to become RPW Champion. I've run one man out this company... who's next?
Austin Aries: All the hype, all the fanfare, Kazarian, where did it get you? I showed I'm the better man, and you got to taste the polish on my boots. It's just a matter of time now before the takeover is complete.
John Morrison: "The Guru of Greatness" "The Shaman of Sexy" "The Everynight Delight" One more name can be added to the list in the near future. "RPW Champion".
The Miz: It won't take long for me to reach the top. You all know my name. You all know my philosophy.
Christian: If you don't know, now you know.
The Miz: I am The Miz. And I am AWESOME!

Aries continued on telling them that Hayes granted their request & tonight the tag team titles will be on the line when Kidd & Smith take on Cannon, Castagnoli, and Aries.

Morrison came to the ring to the sound of cheers and was quick to acknowledge the fans. Morrison told the crowd that he was proud to be one of the elite chosen to take part in tonight's gauntlet and he didn't know exactly who else was in it or who his opponent was to be, but, he would do what he does best & thrill the crowd.

Arik Cannon: (to Claudio Castagnoli, both holding the RPW Tag Team Title belts on their shoulders) This is just the first step toward the takeover of this company. Soon, everyone in RPW will have to go through us just to stay employed.
Christian: I've beaten the best of the best in this business and I'm still not in line for a title shot? Well I'm making a promise to all my Peeps in the "Christian Coalition" that I will be RPW Champion.
Rob Van Dam: It's time for me, Rob Van Dam, to get the shot that I've been waiting for since day one here in RPW. It won't be easy. It won't be quick. But when the smoke clears the man with the gold will be R-V-D.
Raven: The entire purpose of human existence, is to kindle a light in the darkness of being. We are a nation of hollow stuffed people; bleeding together; heads stuffed with straw. Like wind in an empty street, or rats feet over broken glass in a dark and forgotten cellar. So it is written. So it shall come to pass. Quote the Raven, nevermore.
Ryan McBride: Nigel McGuinness, you say that this war between us is far from over. Well, you're right. I'm not going to stop until I prove myself to you & the rest of the world that I am more than just some fly-by-night, flash in the pan. This is my life. It's all I know, it's all I live for and no one is going to take that away from me.
Christian: If you didn't know, now you do.
Monty Brown: Period.
