Saturday Night Wrestling March 7th, 2015 Crockett Coliseum Dallas, Texas [We start on a black screen as most shows do. We fade up into a royal blue screen with a glittering silver Fox Sports logo in the center of it. A fanfare plays in the background as a voiceover begins.] “Home to the World Series. The GFC. The Daytona 500. The 2015 Women’s World Cup. The US Open Championship.” [A quick clip from each sport flashes by during the voiceover.] “The world’s biggest events are on Fox Sports.” [The logo and fanfare fade... ...as a giant robot appears, holding up a different version of the Fox Sports logo with the audio bug...] “WE ARE... FOX SPORTS!” [The shot fades from the graphic to another black screen with the AWA logo splashed across a starry field. A barrage of lasers flash in from all sides of the screen, etching along the borders of the letters, illuminating the plain white text into glowing and glittering gold. A deep voiceover begins. The words "American Wrestling Alliance" come up one by one at the bottom of the screen.] "The recognized symbol of excellence in professional wrestling." [The logo fades as the sounds of “Monuments” by the Smashing Pumpkins begins to play. The synth and drumline leads the way as the screen fills with Bobby O’Connor sailing through the air, cracking Hamilton Graham with the Fear The Reaper followed by The Gladiator gorilla pressing a helpless foe into the sky.] #I feel alright, I feel all right tonight.# [Supernova comes tearing across the ring from corner-to-corner, flinging himself into the air and crushing someone with a Heat Wave splash turns into Aaron Anderson throwing Cody Mertz up into the air for the pop-up European uppercut which Mertz counters into a title-winning hurracanrana on the way down.] #And everywhere I go it's shining bright# [Dave Bryant turns a helpless Larry Doyle over into an Iron Crab, causing him to squeal and flail about in pain becomes Johnny Detson dropping someone with the Wilde Driver.] #Alright, Alright, all right# [Demetrius Lake comes sailing off the top rope onto a prone opponent with the Big Cat Pounce switches to Juan Vasquez dropping a victim with the dreaded Right Cross becomes Shadoe Rage smashing his knee into Tony Sunn’s skull.] #Alright, Alright, all right# [Hannibal Carver spewing beer into the camera lens turns into Jack Lynch wrapping his Iron Claw around a helpless opponent’s skull which becomes the Dogs Of War sending Alex Martinez to the hospital with Pedro Perez’ double stomp to the skull off the middle rope.] #Alright, Alright, all right# [Travis Lynch throws a discus punch that bounces off the skull of The Lost Boy becomes Brad Jacobs breaking Dave Bryant in half with a spear becomes Calisto Dufresne spiking a skull into the canvas with the Wham Bam Thank You Ma’am turns into Sultan Azam Sharif hooking in the Camel Clutch.] #Alright, Alright, all right# [The music increases in tempo as we got shot after shot - Brian James betraying TORA... Cain Jackson throwing the big boot... Hercules Hammonds delivering a backbreaker... Skywalker Jones sailing from coast to coast with a dropkick... KING Oni throwing Kevin Slater around like a ragdoll... Derrick Williams delivering the spinebuster... Dichotomy delivering the flying bulldog off the top... Callum Mahoney breaking his trophy over Sharif’s head...] #Alright, Alright, all right# [And as we spin off into a rockin’ guitar solo, we show Ryan Martinez and Supreme Wright trading brutal head-rocking slaps for several moments... ...and then burst into white, showing a bloodied Ryan Martinez holding the World Title belt over his head! The shot holds for a moment before falling to the bottom, leaving behind a ground-level shot of of fans pouring into the building underneath the marquee with the name of the building and the words "SATURDAY NIGHT WRESTLING" in block black text as "Monuments" continues to play. The trademark voice of Gordon Myers interjects.] GM: Wrestling fans around the world, we are LIVE right here on The X! We are LIVE right here in downtown Dallas in the Crockett Coliseum! And we are LIVE for what promises to be another exciting night of American Wrestling Alliance action as we bring you SATURDAY NIGHT WRESTLING! [Another cut brings us inside the building - into the warehouse converted into a makeshift arena's "seating bowl." The wooden bleachers are still there as are the hundreds of metal folding chairs surrounding the red, white, and blue roped ring. The black mats are down covering the floor and the black metal barricade is up to keep the fans at bay. Two tables can be seen at ringside from this elevated view which also reveals the interview "stage" has been set up near the top of the aisle as has the long elevated entrance platform leading from the locker room to the ring. A large video screen has been erected over the entrance platform, right now looping an AWA logo but certainly with the idea of showing some backstage interviews and such throughout the show. The screen isn't gigantic by any sense of the imagination but it's big enough for the fans jam-packed into the downtown Dallas building to see.] GM: With just two weeks to go until the big Anniversary Show - the final show in this very building for the foreseeable future - and that big Brass Ring Tournament with the National Title hanging in the balance, the tensions are sky high in the locker room here tonight! [Another cut gets us down to ringside where we find two members of our announce team. The Dean of Professional Wrestling announcing, Gordon Myers, is smiling as though a giant weight has been lifted off his shoulders over the past couple of weeks. He sports a black sportscoat and matching slacks with a white dress shirt and a red tie - very professional and very by- the-book for the senior play-by-play man in the industry. By his side, as always, is the colorful Bucky Wilde. Wilde is about as different from his colleague as you can get, sporting a sunburst coat over a lime green dress shirt. He's opted for a bright white bowtie on this night as he turns his back to the camera, jerking a thumb at a new and improved “BIG BUCKS” flashing in twinkly lights across the back of his coat.] GM: Good evening, fans, and welcome to another star-studded edition of AWA Saturday Night Wrestling featuring all the stars of the AWA galaxy. I'm Gordon Myers and by my side for the next two hours, as always, is the one and only Bucky Wilde. Bucky, two weeks ago, the forces of evil struck hard at the AWA - bringing hero after hero crashing down at their feet. BW: Martinez, Carver, Lynch, Air Strike... you name it. It was a bad, bad night to be the kind of guy that these idiot fans cheer for. GM: It was so bad, in fact, that the World Heavyweight Champion, Ryan Martinez, and the Iron Cowboy, Jack Lynch, are not even in the building here tonight! BW: But you know who is? Caleb Temple. And my sources say he’s got something to say to the so-called White Knight. GM: This is a jam-packed show tonight as we have the final two Qualifying Matches for the Brass Ring Tournament with Sultan Azam Sharif taking on Callum Mahoney and Cain Jackson taking on Travis Lynch. BW: We’re gonna see the highlights of Hercules Hammonds versus Jericho Kai and Pedro Perez against “Big” Brad Jacobs too, Gordo. GM: By the time this night is over, we’ll know all eight competitors who will compete in the Brass Ring Tournament in two weeks’ time. But the real question is - by the time this night is over, will the AWA have a new champion as we’ve got TWO big title matches here tonight? BW: I’m callin’ it right now, Gordo - we’re gonna see the Lights Out Express regain the titles that they never shoulda lost when they put down Air Strike right in the center of the ring. GM: That remains to be seen but what about our World Television Title match pitting Sweet Daddy Williams against the champion, Shadoe Rage? BW: That fat oaf ain’t amounted to a slug nickel around these parts in years, Gordo... I don’t see that changing tonight. GM: I, on the other hand, have all the faith in the world that the man from Hotlanta, G-A can take Shadoe Rage to the limit and beyond to win that World Television Title right here tonight, fans! It’s going to be an exciting night of action and right now, let’s head up to- [The sounds of Korn and the Dust Brothers performing “Kick The PA” fills the Crockett Coliseum to a pretty big reaction considering the man that usually accompanies that song.] GM: Now what is this all about? [The camera shot changes, pulling back to a wide shot of the video screen that comes to life with the smiling face of the CEO of Empire Sports and once again, co-owner of the AWA, Chris Blue. The crowd reacts somewhat favorably considering Blue’s recent actions.] CB: Hello, Dallas! [The crowd predictably responds in the positive.] CB: Before the first match of the night gets underway, I have a very special announcement to make. Two weeks from tonight, the AWA will be celebrating their Seventh Anniversary as a pro wrestling company! [BIG CHEER!] CB: And I know I speak for the rest of ownership when I say that we couldn’t have gotten to where we are without all of you fans here in Texas.
