Hi, I've been a wrestling fan for approximately 20 years and although I still have some attachment to WWE, I tend to prefer local wrestling shows these days. Not only do local cards provide equally as good matches as you see on PPV, you can actually get to know these people on a personal basis if you choose to interact with them before, during and after matches. I've got about thirty local wrestlers as Facebook friends, and Tyson Kidd is another one of my online friends. Who knows, the guys you see competing in your local gym may be the same guys (or girls) you'll be watching on RAW, SmackDown, or Impact in a few years time. Take time to support your local heroes.

Anyway, this fanfic is a project I have had stuck in my mind for many years, I even tried it out for a writing class but didn't quite get the job done. I've always been a fan of the "What If?" type of scenario and decided to apply it to the Montreal Screwjob incident. In this instance, Owen would catch wind of Vince's plans to cheat Bret out of the title and use Vince Russo's weaknesses and also sneak Eric Bischoff into the arena. Along the way, there are going to be several Patriots, a Headmistress, crooked referees, and the champion at the end of the story will not be either one of the participants heading into the match. Let us now flashback to November 1997, when I was 19, when 80% of John Cena's fanbase was yet to be conceived, and when the wrestling industry was going through arguably its most tumultuous time in its history…
