We are outside the Cow Palace in Daly City California, as a crowd is forming around a stage. Several stage hands are working on preparing the stage, placing a podium in the middle of it. On the podium is an object covered in a black cloth. Behind the podium is a large video screen. We hear a constant buzz of voices, as the crowd is wondering what's going on. All of a sudden-
You're Gonna Go Far, Kid-The Offspring
The crowd pops, as Richard Ryder, the President of the WFA, comes out, dressed in a dark blue suit jacket and matching slacks, plus a white dress shirt and a black tie. He walks and stands in the middle of the podium as the crowd is cheering all the while. Richard takes a moment to wait for the crowd to settle down, before he begins to speak.
"Ladies and gentleman, right now, the WFA is firing on all cylinders." He begins. "All promotions in the WFA are working overtime to provide you with the best wrestling in the world. Right now, ICW, ACW, SSW, FXW, GWE, CAW- all these promotions are killing it in 2019. Plus, this year, we have established international ties, and we have expanded exponentially. We are dedicated to bringing nothing but quality wrestling for you. And with that dedication in mind, it is my pleasure to announce that this year…..the WFA brings you…..KINGDOM COME!"
The screen behind him turns on, and we see a logo, a majestic golden crown, with several pieces of jewelry embedded in it, the words "WFA: Kingdom Come". Along with that, we see 16 silhouettes under the logo.
"This, will be a tournament." Richard says. "A tournament where 16 of our most exciting and talented rising stars will face off, and the winner will be crowned as the King of the WFA" The crowd cheers louder for that announcement, but Ryder continues.
"Not just that…..the winner gets something…..even more valuable…" Ryder takes off the cloth on the object on the podium, revealing…..a belt, resembling the IWGP Intercontinental Championship, but with a black strap and the words, "WFA Intercontinental Championship" on it! The crowd pops when they see this!
"That's right!" Ryder says. "The winner will not only become King, but they will also become the inaugural WFA Intercontinental Champion!"
"But before we get to any of that…..we must introduce the participants." Ryder says, and he begins to list the participants. As he names a wrestler, one of the 16 silhouettes is replaced with one of the participants.
