A/N: Hello, friends, this is your old pal again here with the return of the PRWA. Yes, your old friends are back in town for a second season of anger, torture, violence, mayhem, rivalry and much more. Hopefully I do the second season as much justice as my man Phil did the first.

A/N 2: It's been about five months since RM2 - this PPV, labeled New Year's Nightmare, is taking place in Chicago, Illinois at the United Center. This chapter is not so much a wrestling chapter as it is somewhat of an overview of what's happened since RM2.

A/N 3: Normally, the new year would be a time of celebration. But this new year is when the pain, torture, violence, thrill of victory, agony of defeat, everything that resembles a night mare is taken to a whole new level - welcome to your nightmare. The PRWA presents New Year's Nightmare, live from Chicago, Illinois on January 20, 2008, only on PPV.

Chapter 1 - Getting Caught Up

Sunday, January 20, 2008

Chicago, Illinois

As everyone involved with the PRWA prepared for New Year's Nightmare, to be held this night in the United Center, they knew that the organization had gone through some major changes since the departure of one founder Phil Savitt.

Under its first owner, Phil Savitt, the organization had become a popular thing. Many were tuning in to the PRWA weeklies, and many were also ordering the PPVs to watch their favorite childhood heroes.

But under the guidance of Zordon of Eltar, the PRWA had gone to unseen heights and at the same time had gone through some major changes.

The very first thing Zordon had done after RangerManiaII in Cincinnati was work with Tommy and Kimberly on mending their relationship. He knew it wasn't going to be all bells-and-whistles at first, but he knew more than anything he couldn't let the previous owner and what he'd done with Kimberly turn his number one couple against each other.

He hadn't been alone though. He'd received tremendous help in the previous five months, from not only those who were in the GREs, but the Triple B's as well. No matter the rivalries they had with one another, most of them were all still Zordon's Power Rangers. Thus, they threw their support behind Tommy even more than ever before. At the August PPV, August Armageddon in Portland, nearly the entire GREs had turned from heel to face. Among the major turning points, there was Rocky coming to Jason's aid as Jason defeated Nick to keep his PRWA belt. Then, Ethan had shockingly come to Billy's aid as Billy defeated Madison in a first-blood matchup. Following that, Kira had surprisingly come to Aisha's aid as she had been about to be defeated by Katie, which helped Aisha win that match. Then, in a handicap match between Conner and Tommy vs. TJ, after some vicious words between the two, Tommy had suddenly attacked Conner, causing TJ to roll him up for the easy win. Then, at the main event match, a ten-Pink Ranger free for all, it had been Kim who shockingly provided the necessary distraction for Kat to win. After that match, with his entire original 12 Rangers, the Space Rangers, and the Dino Thunder team sans Conner, Zordon said this,

"Fine folks of Portland, Oregon, let me ask you something. Did you really think I was going to let Tommy and the rest of my Rangers waste as bad guys?"

After a few moments, it was Jason who stepped up to the microphone and answered Zordon's question.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we have been there for Tommy since the beginning. He," Jason said, pointing to Zordon, "called us all together after RangerMania in Cincinnati and urged us to rally behind Tommy. Because really, a friend in need is a friend indeed. We stand for all that is good and true, and will band together against all comers in his time of need. We are now - the Thunder Storm. We will not be stopped."

"And we join them," Kira said. "Dr. Oliver was our mentor too, so Zordon is like a grandfather to all of us. Also, we're sick of Conner's crap. He won't join us, but we won't miss him. The rest of us happily join your supergroup, Zordon."

Zordon had also received some unexpected help from one Udonna - while she'd been a heel for a long time, as a former White Ranger herself she'd also become saddened at Tommy's plight and - and that's why, at Fall Madness in September at New Orleans Arena, she'd come to help Tommy defeat Eric in a Last Man Standing match. After the brutal matchup, she'd hugged Tommy and promised him she'd always be there for him - at which point she became a part of Zordon's expansive team.

Elsewhere, other rivalries had thrived. Trini and Conner had become one of the fiercest rivalries in PRWA history. It had all started at Horror Fest in October at Omaha's Qwest Center, when Conner prevented an almost sure victory by Trini over Taylor, allowing Taylor to win the matchup and steal Trini's Women's Championship. Ever since then, Conner and Trini had been in one another's faces, and the rivalry had gone to a fever pitch. Trini saw Conner as the young, cocky punk that needed to be put in his place, and Conner saw Trini as the Ranger who was living off her past accomplishments, so much so that she needed to step aside for "the new wave of dominance," as Conner liked to call himself.

Trini had won the first matchup, at Throwdown in Denver, but Conner took the second matchup at Holiday Havoc in Pittsburgh, although some thought his victory had come cheap. Tonight would come Round 3, in the PRWA's first ever Last Ride matchup. Trini, who had no longer owned the PRWA Women's Championship, wanted that back, but this suited her just fine also - putting a young, upstart punk in his place. She would deal with Taylor in due time, but for now her mission was to take care of this cocky, brash young kid that Trini had been brawling with for three months now. Meanwhile, Taylor would be going against Tanya tonight - this one to determine who would win the Women's Title.

Another rivalry that had fostered and thrived was Madison and Nick vs. Billy and Hayley. Billy and Hayley were still the PRWA's Mixed Tag Team champions, but they'd had to regain the belt, not once, but twice from their new rivals. They currently held the belt and were awaiting a six-person, two team ladder match this evening that would determine which side would win the tag team championship. Joining Billy and Hayley would be Justin, while joining Nick and Madison would be none other than Maddie's sister, V.

As far as the rest of the championships were concerned, it was no surprise to those who followed the PRWA that Jason still held his championship belt and hadn't really been threatened for it. He'd had some title matches, but they'd been rather easy championship matchups where he hadn't felt really threatened by the opposition. His title was not on the line tonight, although he would be going head-to-head with Prince Gasket tonight, who'd had thoughts himself about potentially challenging for Jason's crown as a way to get back at his ex and the Machine Empire as a whole.

Speaking of Gasket's ex, she and Mondo's wife Machina had taken away Kat and Ashley's championship belts. Ever since joining the Empire, Archerina had been on fire and had a mission against Kat that had started at Fan's Choice, but hadn't really picked back up till after RangerMania. She'd broken up a sure victory by Kat over Rose at Fall Madness allowing Rose to win, and two months later at Throwdown had teamed with Machina to take away Kat and Ashley's championship. As she'd said in words that haunted Kat following Throwdown,

"Katherine, you loser, you may have won several months ago in Gainesville at Fan's Choice, but there was nothing on the line that night. When there was something on the line tonight, I took your precious championship away from you and Ashley. You choked on a grand stage, just like you always have. I hope you have fun trying to get it back because Machina and I aren't giving it up anytime soon."

Andros and Jack were still holding on to their championship belt, although they'd been pushed to the brink in their last two matchups - brutal matchups against Lord Zedd and his number one henchman Goldar. They were still holding onto their championship belts, but only by a thread.

TJ had lost his InterGalactic title, but was trying to get it back from Leo. Leo had turned on TJ at Fall Madness, and one month later at Horror Fest, had taken away his championship. Leo had turned heel, and the main reason was, as he said after Horror Fest,

"I'm sick of Zordon's group of do-gooders, acting like they're the good guys when they really believe the rest of the PRWA should bow before them. I'm going to become a bad guy - that's what I'm going to do, because I'm about winning championships."

Aside from championships and the actual matches, other things had changed within the PRWA as well.

Along with Randy and Jason Sklar, Erin Andrews had been hired by Zordon from ESPN to do interviews in between matches. Even the villains had gasped at how beautiful she was - Zedd had once had his eyes on Kimberly for his new queen, but now he'd had second thoughts upon seeing ESPN's most popular female reporter.

Mr. Kennedy had also returned as a referee starting immediately after RangerMania, which had caused a bit of a surprise amongst PRWA fans who showed up for August Armageddon at Portland. Upon his arrival back, Kennedy had said this,

"Ladies and gentlemen, it is so good to be back in the PRWA. I would like to thank Zordon, the new owner, for hiring me back. I weigh in tonight at a wonderful 243 pounds, I am from Green Bay, Wisconsin, and I am your NEW PRWA referee, I am MISTERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR KENNEDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!"

Then, when he went to the top rope and finished with "KENNEDY!" the arena exploded. As predicted, some cheered, while the majority booed the brash, young WWE superstar turned PRWA ref.

And as the PRWA entered a new year, under the guidance of one Zordon of Eltar, it had become more popular than ever.
