USPW: Niagara Brawls Night 2 Part 1
Venue: Niagara Falls Outlook
Date: March 28th, 2020
State/City: Niagara Falls, New York
"All it takes for one man to ascend his claim to fame…is to make the work in his favor and try his best to get far," Jason David Frank stated as he is seen kicking his punching bag.
"Ever since I was a kid, this is all I ever wanted. I came from a rich household and my parents cut me off. I've taken on the best Mexico and Japan have to offer, I've ruled over a temple, I've tackled the land of extreme, and I became a tournament winner in L.A. All that is left is to beat a legend himself and I will get my top spot in this company to show the world once more why I am who I am," Cody explained.
"At the biggest waterfall comes moments that can either sink or swim, I carried a band of brothers and handed them everything. I've worked harder than most people and tonight, everyone is gonna know a very different side of me," Jonathan stated as he looks over the railing.
"We've changed the landscape of professional wrestling. We've done all there is for the legacy of lucha libre and we've faced each other more times than we can count. Brothers stick together and that's why we are tag team champions," Rey Fenix stated as he and Pentagon show off their Global Tag Team Titles.
"Brutalizations are just apart of the business. Either stay in the ring and take an ass kicking like a man or don't bother showing up to get one. Either way, you're just another number under my belt," Sami Callihan explained as he twirled his baseball bat.
"Girl power is so cliché nowadays and I just rather show what my fists have been gearing up for. Boxing was fun while it lasted and even though a few teeth need to be knocked out every now and then, I'll do it choking my opponent out before they can even scream a submission," Haleigh Grant stated.
(The same video package from the first night plays as "Walk on Water" by Thirty Seconds to Mars plays minus Lars and Randy's parts. The champions are seen raising their belts with Black Tornado suffering a powerbomb through a table, Jason hitting Side Kicks to Viktor in the corner, Orange Cassidy hitting a Canadian Destroyer on Andrew Marsh, Shawn Spears getting attacked on Dynamite, a whole slew of the USPW roster invading AEW last Wednesday, and Jason holding the world title above while Cody waits outside staring at the main prize as well.)
(Pyro started going off as a much bigger stage is set up featuring four white pillars and two waterfalls hanging over the sides gushing water down into rectangular fountains. Two big titantrons were present on each side of the stage plus a smaller screen where the wrestlers come out at. A big black curtain hung over the stage as the cameras started rolling over the attendance of 14,560 fans holding their signs up and waving their hands cheering.)
"Welcome everyone to Niagara Brawls right here in New York! It's GTS Commissioner Grim bringing you guys a special attraction match for all my fans that watch every day killing it on YouTube! I just went through hell with Ryan Lewis and you guys will see what happened this Monday on Firestorm, but I just got in touch with Ted Dibiase Jr., our boss, and he sanctioned a 30-man Over-The-Rope Battle Royal featuring GTS exclusive-stars!" Grim stated as he appeared backstage in his normal red "King of Shovel Style" red shirt, black shorts and purple sneakers with the black armbands and knee pads.
(The GTS fans in attendance cheered as Grim rubbed his hands together and pointed to his head smirking.)
"But that's not all...I also got a special prize that will be awarded to the winner and that prize is a guaranteed shot at the USPW United States Championship! Bet your bottom dollar that I will take up the helm and rise above my workers getting to the very top of this business. Proudly defending this country's honor..." Grim began monologuing before a "Oh shut your damn mouth!" broke his train of thought.
(Grim stares at a random corner in the room he is in as the camera pans to a smaller man with ruffled black hair wearing a white sleeveless top with "Swanson Asylum" on the back in bold black over a large blood spot. This new wrestler wore jeans and black boots carrying a replica of the winged-eagle WWE Championship, but it is referred to as the GTS Championship. The new man rubs his chin and pats Grim's back.)
"If anyone deserves a shot at a real championship title, it's the man who has been busting his ass the last couple years on GTS and making the biggest name for himself. A man that you personally neglect and treat him like a piece of crumpled up newspaper. This belt doesn't go to just anyone and you wouldn't know that without placing every single world title on your shoulders," "Philly" Mike Swanson stated as he raised his title to Grim's face.
"You've been the biggest knat to grace this goodness of a planet. You should be lucky you're even in this match, because I could just make you take on the entire GTS Roster defending that title so it could go to someone with less frizzy fucking hair and a better attitude!" Grim shot back as he glared at Mike turning around.
"You wanna see a true champion? I'll see you out there!" Mike exclaimed as he bashed Grim over the head with his title before he walked off leaving the GTS Commissioner on the floor holding his head.
(Heading back ringside as the ramp is a little longer and more elevated than the one in Canada while the crowd is still restricted access by guardrails. The guardrails extend to around the ringside area with three announce tables just like in Canada. The Spanish and German commentators were seated at their seats, but the main announce table was empty for the time being. The ring was the same as in Canada only there were blue ropes instead of the natural red ones, but the white apron coverings were still there. Competitors were standing in the ring ranging from Pete Corvus, Tommy Salami, Violence, Jimmy Controversy, Giant Leather, 14 Kid, Tony Emerald, and Kleetus Bailey.)
("Back and Forth" by Silent Partner)
(The crowd booed as Mike Swanson came out from the back holding up his GTS Championship heading down the ramp trash talking some fans yelling at him. He stops as he gets ringside and then cautiously sets his title on the steps seeing the hungry eyes on him.)
("Engine Fire" by Silent Partner)
(The crowd cheered loudly as Grim came out holding his head with Duhop aiding him after finding him backstage. Duhop is wearing black fingerless combat gloves, a black sleeveless shirt that says "ROCK SOLID WING-WANG WRESTLING" in bold white letters with two white lines down each side. Duhop also has white shorts and black sneakers on with his sunglasses perched on top.)
Swanson glares down Grim as the Fat Man Who Runs The Brand told the referee to ring the bell as GTS Referee (a bald man with a beard and traditional referee shirt) Tannyr Wilson rang for the bell to start this off. The other 27 GTS wrestlers started crowding the ring as most of them gathered in corners punching heads of anyone who came near them. A wrestler named Onslaught (Black hair and beard wearing a black shirt saying "ONSLAUGHT" in big red letters within a blue circle with a black trim, black combat pants and white sneakers) took another wrestler named Sterling Silver (black hair and goatee wearing a sleeveless blue shirt, black shorts, and white boots) swinging him over the top rope eliminating the jobber/former referee (Sterling Silver eliminated). Giant Leather (Leatherface attire) starts hitting uppercuts to most men being the big threat in this match. Jay Kirby (orange hair, orange Dragonball Z shirt, green shorts, and white boots) started going after the big man, but Leather grabbed the throat of Jay hitting a Chokeslam. Leather then gets Kirby up and throws him over the south side top rope hitting both feet on the floor (Jay Kirby eliminated).
Shemar (African-American man with dreadlocks, white shirt, black sweatpants, and white sneakers) tries his luck punching the face of the giant, but Leather counters with a uppercut then another and then another as Shemar goes over the west top rope to the floor (Shemar eliminated). Another man named Hitman Jones (African-American man with an afro and American Flag-themed tights with white boots with blue laces) climbed the upper right corner trying for a Flying Clothesline, but Leather caught him by the throat sending him over the east end top rope out near the announce tables (Hitman Jones eliminated). Jimmy Controversy (short, black hair, black trunks with red lines down the sides, and black boots) stomps down Violence in the lower left corner as Joe Wolf (short man with black hair shaved, black mini-beard, black shirt with a golden dollar bill with a wolf symbol in the middle on the back, blue tights and black boots) joins him as they take down the vile chain master with dual boot stompings. The Hollywood Hooligan (Long black frizzy hair, red sleeveless shirt with his name in big black bold letters, black tights with white and grey splotches, and black boots) intercepts both men hitting their backs with elbows.
Mike Swanson keeps his distance on the outside as Zack Ruby (Zack Ruby eliminated) gets tossed out near him by Onslaught leaving 20 men remaining. Billy Moxley (short peach hair, grey tank top, blue jeans, and black sneakers) starts a barrage of punches on many competitors seeing Clay Sawyer on the north side apron before hitting a Running Dropkick sending the jobber to the floor (Clay Sawyer eliminated). Moxley then ducked a clothesline by Spider Jobber (local talent in a Spider-Man costume) before hitting a Superkick to the jobber over the top rope to the floor (Spider Jobber eliminated). The trio of S.W.A.T City eliminated Justice Dee Ville with a combined effort sending the elder man straight to the floor near the ramp (Justice Dee Ville eliminated) Ace, Sodapop, and Medic turned to face Bonifer (short dirty blonde hair, purple singlet with black lines down the side, and white boots) as he smiles crazily at three when they rush him, but he starts getting even crazier punching the heads back and back before grabbing Ace hitting a Snap DDT in the middle of the ring and then kneeing Sodapop Smith in the gut hitting a Gutwrench Powerbomb. Medic stays near the south side ropes hitting a Double Axe Handle to Bonifer's back as Bonifer no sells and smiles turning to bite the forehead of Medic as the young man starts screaming in agony before being thrown over the top rope eliminated (Jay Medic eliminated). Ace gets up hitting a Spear to Bonifer and then gets the crazy man up as Joe Wolf makes a brief alliance with Ace helping Bonifer up. Both men go towards the south top rope before Bonifer gets chucked hitting both feet on the floor (Bonifer eliminated).
Ace trash talks Bonifer before Wolf eliminates Ace right afterwards letting the army veteran hit the floor hard (Ace Marksman eliminated). Kleetus (Short dirty blonde hair, black t-shirt, black sweatpants, black fingerless gloves, and white sneakers) turned Joe around hitting forearms to the head getting the smaller man in the lower right corner going to work stomping a mud hole into the rich heel superstar as Jimmy positions himself across the ring running to hit a Double Knee Strike to Kleetus as the country wrestler went near the east end ropes. Jimmy hits elbows to the head as he tries to eliminate Kleetus and Mike even helped pulling on Kleetus from the outside, but Grim came around finally getting in the action pulling Mike down starting a brawl near the announce tables. Onslaught comes near the scene surprisingly eliminating Jimmy from the match with him unknowingly (Jimmy Controversy eliminated). The North East Power Trip consisting of Pete Corvus (attire from CageZone II) and Tommy Salami (Short black hair, overweight, white singlet, black shorts with "Tommy Salami" on the back in Italian Flag colors, and black boots) start working over Giant Leather leading him into the upper right corner as Tommy whips the big man into Pete as Leather gets a Ripcord Knee Strike into the Lard K.O. (RKO) from Tommy. The crowd cheer on the home state favorites as Pete works over Tony Emerald (shaved head, black tank top, black shorts with green triangular corners, and white boots) with punches to the head and then hits the Discus Forearm Smash knocking Tony into the wet end ropes, but Tony comes back with a Thrust Spinebuster. Tony shouted to the audience "THIS JUST GOT REAL!" As he received mostly boos getting Pete to his feet. Tony then attempted a Jackhammer lifting Pete up before he hung him there and then hit the completed move. Brandon the Bull (White and gold bull mask, black singlet with a red bull symbol on the back, and black boots) turned Tony around raising his arms to be more threatening as Tony got in his face telling him to back off. Brandon pushed Tony into the south end ropes before hitting a Shoulder Tackle taking down the veteran. Sodapop Smith turns Brandon around trying for the Bottle Cap (Codebreaker), but Brandon holds onto Smith and dumps him over to the south side end (Sodapop Smith eliminated). Moxley came at Brandon, but he got grabbed into the Bulldozer (Seated Chokebomb) as Moxley spazzed grabbing his back. Brandon gets Moxley up and sends him outside with Smith (Billy Moxley eliminated). The Meadowlands Monster met Brandon in the middle as the crowd geared up for this big man showdown with Bruno being a bit taller at 7 feet tall. These two started a punching war that got interrupted by the North East Power Trip to big cheers, but Brandon pushes back Corvus as Brandon brought him in for the End of Days. Pete slips outside onto the west side as Meadowlands Monster hits a Chokeslam to Tommy.
Brandon attacks Bruno getting him in the upper left corner with shots to the chest as Yankee TDM (same attire from Firestorm episode 2) eliminated the 14 Kid after knocking him off the lower left corner with a Forearm Smash (14 Kid eliminated). Duhop finally gets into the ring as he kicks Violence in the gut hitting the Duhop Drop (Stunner) immediately as Violence goes on his back and then he hits one to Kleetus and then one to Yankee. Grim gets inside for the first time as Duhop lifts Yankee pushing him into the west end ropes before lifting him into Grim for the 3D Drop. Grim gets Yankee up and with the help of brother Duhop, they send Yankee to his final elimination (Yankee TDM eliminated). Joe Wolf tries going after both starting the punching war on both heads, but Grim blocks one punch getting Joe by both arms locking them and hitting the Grim Ending (Full Nelson Slam) as Joe's legs go over his body. Grim gets Joe up and yells "Eat it, Tiny Turd!" Before sending Joe over to the west side (Joe Wolf eliminated). Hooligan tried his luck hitting a Superkick that almost sent Duhop over and he ducks a clothesline from Grim before hitting a Backstabber subduing Grim, but the Meadowlands Monster caught Hooligan by the throat running to send the smaller man over the top rope (Hollywood Hooligan eliminated). However, Brandon comes from behind as Duhop and Swanson help eliminate the 7 foot tall giant monster (The Meadowlands Monster eliminated). However, Swanson attacked both Duhop and Brandon getting Brandon in the lower right corner before attacking Duhop with rapid fire punches.
Tony gets a few elbows to Leather's head and whips the big monster character off the east end ropes, but Leather reverses into a Ripcord Big Boot. Tony grabs his jaw as Leather gets Tony up grabbing the throat before hitting a Chokeslam hard on the mat. Leather then hits an Uppercut after another after another on Kleetus before Leather grabs the throat, but Tommy saves his friend before executing a German Suplex on Leather. Kleetus grabbed his neck and hugged Tommy before going low with a kick hitting a Redneck Stunner (Stunner) making Tommy stumble before Violence chokes out Tommy with his steel chain. Pete brings in a steel chair smacking the back of Violence as Pete wails on Violence with the weapon. Tommy then starts climbing the upper left corner while Pete kicks Kleetus in the gut trying for the Package Piledriver lifting Kleetus for connection! Tommy steadies himself before hitting a Swanson Bomb flattening Kleetus as the redneck springs up holding his gut.
The crowd cheered as the North East Power Trip gets Kleetus up shoving him over the top rope eliminating him (Kleetus Bailey eliminated). However, Grim and Duhop came form behind eliminating Tommy and Pete as this shocked the crowd getting some to boo DF (Tommy Salami and Pete Corvus eliminated). 8 men remained as Onslaught went after Leather hammering down the back before the big man backed up. Leather came to Onslaught as the big man lifted the monster hitting a Sitout Side Powerslam. Onslaught then got to his feet as Grim hit Double Chin Music knocking Onslaught into the south end ropes before he hit a clothesline sending the big man to the floor (Onslaught eliminated). Onslaught curses at Grim getting on the ring apron as the lone GTS referee told him to get down. Brandon picked Grim up his arms hitting a Belly-to-Back Suplex as Grim turned around his circles holding his back. Violence turns sent a chain shot to the back of Brandon as Swanson gets Duhop up after grounding him. Swanson kicks the gut before running the east end ropes hitting a Curb Stomp. Swanson then gets Duhop up leaning him against the east end ropes ready to end his night hitting a Clothesline, but Duhop goes onto the apron hanging on. Mike tried kicking Duhop off as Violence tried pulling a fast one to get rid of Swanson, but the GTS Champion hung on for dear life. Giant Leather takes off his brown apron and his black tie deciding to get serious throwing the items outside while tightening his gloves.
Giant Leather walks over to all three participants and immediately gets Violence over the top rope crashing to the floor (Violence eliminated). He then lifted Mike Swanson up high from the ropes and Mike shook his violently not wanting to go down like this before the GTS Champion is chucked to the outside onto the ramp eliminated (Mike Swanson eliminated). Grim gets behind Leather trying for the Grim Ending, but Leather gets a stiff elbow to Grim's head. Grim backs up until Tony comes back for revenge getting a few punches to the head and body, but Leather grabs the throat once more hurling Tony over the west end ropes to the floor (Tony Emerald eliminated). Duhop then gets back in the ring waiting kicking Leather in the gut before hitting the Duhop Drop making Leather stumble into the west end ropes and Brandon charged hitting a clothesline knocking Leather over onto his feet (Giant Leather eliminated). Grim and Duhop hugged it out as they praised Brandon for his efforts with Brandon patting their shoulders before colliding their heads together while Brandon grabs Grim to throw him over ending his night (Grim eliminated). Duhop turns Brandon around kicking the gut trying for the Duhop Drop, but Brandon lifts Duhop back dumping him onto Grim as the bell rings (Duhop eliminated).
("The Gunfight" by Evert Almond)
"Here is your winner and advancing to a USPW United States Championship match later tonight, Brandon the Bull!" Richard announced from ringside.
(Brandon pointed a finger in the air and motioned for the U.S. Title around his waist as Grim got up and did heavy breathing with Duhop coming to his aide. Brandon got out of the ring and helped Grim up showing respect for his former employer with the crowd chanting "GTS! GTS! GTS! GTS! GTS!)
("Our House" by Dale Oliver)
(The crowd turned to the entranceway as Hank came out in his blue tracksuit, sweatpants and sneakers as he carried a laptop as well as his own headset before he made his way down the ramp.)
("Ready for This" by All Good Things)
(Russ Markley ran out as he wore a black tuxedo as always and carried a Mountain Dew bottle, a headset, and his laptop coming down the ramp waving to the cheering fans.)
(Following him out with no entrance theme and just using Russ's is Lucha Libre AAA Worldwide english commentator Matt Striker. He wore a grey blazer, a normal cotton white shirt, blue jeans, and black sneakers as he carried a expresso coffee with him taking a nice big sip.)
("Dynamite" by No One Hero)
(The AEW Dynamite theme plays as AEW referee Aubrey Edwards make her appearance to the cheers wearing a black AEW sweatshirt and black pants to black dress shoes as she carries a headset down the ramp.)
("Judas" by Fozzy)
(The crowd exploded when Chris Jericho's music hits as the words "Am I Evil?" appeared onscreen transitioning to "Yes I Am" while Le Champion and the Demo God appeared himself with Jake Hager by his side. Chris is wearing a blue sleeveless Fozzy shirt and Jake is wearing his natural formal attire with them heading down the ramp to the ring.)
"What the hell?! Aubrey was supposed to be the only AEW representative tonight!" Russ exclaimed.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Niagara Brawls here in New York for the second night of great action. We have our good friends of Chris Jericho and Jake Hager from All Elite Wrestling and the Inner Circle apparently going to join us for commentary tonight," Hank stated as he adjusted his headset.
"It's a great honor, Hank! Jericho revitalized wrestling when he chose to sign with Cody's new company and everyone should be praising him for putting it on the map," Striker added playing the heel commentator.
(Jericho told Hager to wait outside as he climbed the steel steps and got into the ring wanting a microphone while he soaked in the fans singing his theme music. The atmosphere doesn't change from a normal wrestling show like this and Jericho climbed the upper right corner pointing to the fans screaming "You know who brought this! You know!" before jumping off.)
"Or he could be feeding his ego for the meantime," Aubrey retorted.
"That's fucking right! The Ayatollah of Rock N' Rolla is here! Le Champion has taken time out of his busy schedule to cater to the lowest common denominators in wrestling. The stupid idiots that call themselves fans," Jericho stated once he was handed the mic with Hager crossing his arms.
(The crowd booed that statement heavily as Jericho took off his shades and hung them on the rim of his sleeveless shirt before continuing.)
"But I didn't come here for you all specifically. I got much better things to do and much more important people to hurt. Not too important since I'm the damn G.O.A.T. of professional wrestling. However, he is someone who made a grave mistake. A mistake he won't ever live to learn from. I'm talking about…someone named….Cody Fireheart…I think. I never bother to remember names," Jericho stated, but the cheers caught him off guard at the mention.
"Cody, a very popular superstar since arriving and he gets one more shot at the World Heavyweight Championship later on in our main event," Hank explained.
"Judging by that response, I can tell he's a stupid idiot like you all," Jericho insulted as the crowd booed the veteran heavily. "Don't think I don't know him. When I went back to Japan, I heard about him, about his matches, about the way he took on Japan's elite class of superstars. Like Will Ospreay, Like Shinsuke Nakamura. Like Tetsuya Naito. Like Zack Sabre Jr. I ain't blind to see the kid has talent. He does, but he's not me and that's his downfall."
(The crowd chanted "YOU SUCK! CODY ROCKS! YOU SUCK! CODY ROCKS! YOU SUCK! CODY ROCKS!")
"You forgot about the man who's done it all in this business. Wrestled in ECW, WCW, WWE, NJPW, AEW and won consecutive world titles match after match after match. I ain't no slouch. My resume isn't a joke. It isn't a bachelor's degree you hang up in your cushy office job, because you felt like you worked your ass off to accomplish something. You didn't. You went to fucking school. I trained non-stop for what I wanted and the moment I stared the Rock down in my debut…it was then that the golden gates of the heavens opened and the chosen spotlight was on me," Jericho explained as the crowd went into heavy boos.
("Immortals" by Fall Out Boy)
(Cody Fireheart came out shaking his head and wearing his normal entrance attire carrying his own microphone he got backstage. The crowd went into a big pop as he looked off into the crowd waving and smiling cheekily at Jericho. Hager and Jericho looked at each other while Y2J stared down the young upstarter.)
"Cody...Cody...who does this little junior think he is? Is it Cody with the "i" for idiot or "y" for why would you ever think in that small brain of yours that you could match up to Chris Jericho? You think that escaping a life with wealthy parents is how you become a great name in this industry, but it's not. It's hard work and making the odds ever in your favor. That's how I have dominated this ring and made everyone submit to my order. Now, you step up to plate and think you can't be brought down. When I kick your ass, you will feel as inadequate as ever before. No flying lessons ever prepared you for this and you'll be shot down for buzzard bait. Get ready, because I'm breaking these walls down," Jericho stated before Cody's music died down.
"You think I don't know what hard work is? You think, because of my past I'll make it big without hard work? You don't know a damn thing about me. I gave up everything I ever knew and had to chase my dreams. I only had the support of my sister, that's it. Everyone else in my life and family said I wouldn't amount to anything yet I've won titles in Mexico. I've won titles in Japan. I've defied the odds. I was told I wouldn't make it. Well, I made it and thrived. If you think I'm going to be an easy fight, you're dead wrong. I may lose, but I won't go down without a fight. You may break these walls down, but I'm going to burn them to ashes. You know what you are Chris. You're a hasbeen! You use your Inner Circle to cover up the fact that you don't have the same ability in the ring anymore. That you've slowed down. Well bring it on, bring on Jake Hager, bring on Sammy Guevara, bring on Santana and Ortiz. I'm not afraid of them or you. In the end of it all Chris, you'll still be clinging on as a hasbeen while I'll keep rising," Cody explained as the crowd cheered for the Rising Phoenix.
"Did you forget who was dubbed the man of 1,004 holds? Listen, junior, I was a big star before All Elite Wrestling was ever thought of. I won world titles and became the greatest professional wrestler ever. You wrestled in Mexico and Japan, but that suddenly means you are a true gem? You're just a brat that pestered mommy and daddy to pay for your wrestling school tuition. You should've went to Ohio State, jackass, because you can't even shine my damn boots!" Jericho spat.
"I'm a brat? You know when you complain about several jackets that are worth thousands of dollars being ruined? Doesn't that make you the brat? As for the G.O.A.T of professional wrestling, I got news for you Chris. You might want to sit down, because your ego probably can't handle it, but it's not you. The G.O.A.T. is the Undertaker. My parents might have paid my start, but when I decided to pursue my dream, I got cut off. I made my choice and served myself free. Maybe I'll pull a page from Mox's book and ruin another one of your jackets. Then we'll see who the brat is," Cody threatened.
"Cause property damage is a good sign of a role model to the children? Don't answer that, it's rhetorical. Plus, those jackets aren't made cheap like action figures you stock up in your bedroom. I bet you be pissed as well if certain jackasses ruined every bit of nice fucking clothing you had like that cheap ass Halloween mask you have on!" Jericho exclaimed.
"Cheap Halloween mask? Like I haven't heard that one before, congratulations! Chris, you've graduated from hasbeen to unoriginal hasbeen. If you're so worried about your nice clothes being ruined, why wear them to the ring or leave them lying around? I admit I do have a collection of action figures, but I'm also not afraid to admit I'm a nerd, a geek, a stupid idiot in your language and limited space of vocabulary besides what you learned in 2nd grade. I've always been true to myself. But I understand if you have issues with masks. After all, mine can come off unlike yours," Cody taunted as the audience chanted "OOOOOOOHHHHH!" in unison.
"You think I'm fake? You think I'm fake? I'm the man that put AEW on the map. The man who brought the revolution to where it needed to be. The man for over 20 years spent and dedicated his life to the world to which he has become accustomed to. Most importantly, I'm a man who can't be shattered no matter how many times these idiots in the crowd and people like you standing up there not brave enough to come to this ring to say all that crap try to put me on edge!" Jericho exclaimed.
"It's cause you have the fragile ego! You can't handle that you're way past your prime and can't bother trying to stay relevant. You're a great wrestler, Chris…no one can take that sentiment away, but how long you gonna keep it up before the wheels fall off, the brakes don't work, and the steering wheel becomes scrap? Being in Japan is only a safe space from the truth," Cody stated.
(Suddenly, Sammy Guevara came out attacking Cody wearing his usual black leather jacket, white trunks with "Sammified" on the back in sparkly red with red boots. He kicks Cody down the ramp punching the back hard and Jericho laughs as boos rang out over the crowd before Sammy knocks Cody into the guardrail.)
"You know who ain't past their prime, Fireheart?! Sammy Guevara, bitch!" Jericho exclaimed.
(Sammy sends Cody straight into the steel steps as Cody grabs his back before Jericho takes off his Fozzy shirt ordering Sammy to bring Cody in. Jericho is wearing his natural black tights and boots rounding up his left arm as Cody is shaking his head. Suddenly, Jason David Frank heads out in his Rush Hour attire attacking Sammy from behind sending him in the ring before Jason comes in. Jericho tries for the Judas Effect, but Jason grabs the left arm reversing into the Fujiwara Armbar before Hager grabs Jericho helping him escape.)
"Jason is here! He is here to save Cody!" Russ exclaimed as Jason asked for a microphone seeing the heels trying to escape up the ramp.
"Wait a minute! Wait a minute! Where do you think any of you are going? You gonna just talk all that crap and not stick around to show what you mean?! I never back down from a fight and you clowns aren't going anywhere. Me and Cody versus you two, right now! I don't mind making a quick pit stop!" Jason announced slamming down the mic before taking off his shirt.
(USPW referee Victoria Ashlen runs down tying her blonde hair in a ponytail before coming up the steps before Jericho told Sammy to start against Jason.)
Jason takes off his shirt as the referee calls for the bell and Sammy approaches with utter caution with Jason getting these fists up. Jason tries for a quick Side Kick, but Sammy falls back on his butt trying to avoid it. Jason grabs Sammy's legs, but Sammy pushes up hitting a Hurricarana, but Jason rolls through hitting a Roundhouse Kick stiff enough to knock Sammy into dream land. Sammy falls on his back before Jason locks the right leg in a tough leg lock making Sammy cry out in pain. Jericho gets in kicking Jason and start punching the world champion, but the referee told Chris to get back on the apron. Cody runs towards the lower left corner before jumping hitting a Missile Dropkick knocking Jericho to the north side. Jason takes it from there before locking Sammy in the Fujiwara Armbar making the young heel tap out immediately!
("Where Dragons Dwell" by Gojira)
"Here are your winners by way of submission, USPW World Heavyweight Champion Jason David Frank and Cody Fireheart!" Richard announced.
"Well, Jericho and Guevara bit off more than they could chew and Jason showed them what they should've expected," Hank stated.
"This is such bullshit! The Inner Circle wasn't ready for them!" Striker complained.
(Jason gets up raising both arms as Victoria raised his left arm, but Hager hits a Clothesline to Jason taking down the world champion. Hager gets Jason up kneeing the stomach region and then he hits a Gutwrench Powerbomb to the MMA Fighter. Cody tried coming in, but he gets a left knee to the gut and then he gets his own Gutwrench Powerbomb as Cody grabs his back in pain. Jericho then gets three steel chairs from under the ring as Hager brings Cody to the upper left corner placing his right leg on the corner. Jericho lifts a chair and trash talks Cody smacking the face before hitting the right leg with the chair making Cody scream.)
"A devastating chair shot by Jericho and this is beyond despicable for any reasonable man to do. All because Cody challenged his legacy," Aubrey stated.
(Jericho did it again causing Cody to cry out in more pain before Hager took a second chair hitting the right leg causing Cody to grit his teeth pounding the ring. Sammy gets out kicking the right leg as Victoria tries driving the Inner Circle away screaming "IT'S OVER! IT'S OVER! GET OUT!" Jericho smirks and gets in the ring grabbing Cody up smushing the face under the mask before hitting the Codebreaker making Cody grab his face and right leg in pain. Jericho gets Cody up again standing and stumbling before Jericho runs the south end ropes hitting the Judas Effect to Cody making the phoenix feel like a rag doll.)
"It didn't matter to Jericho if he won or loss. He's just sending the message loud and clear," Russ explained.
"The referee trying to ward Jericho off, because I don't know how Cody is feeling at the moment. I don't know if he will be in any condition to compete later in the main event," Hank added.
(Victoria yelled to get out as Jericho obliged putting his hands up in defense and he exited to the west side. Jason checked on his partner and opponent as well as Victoria calling for medical officers in the vicinity. Two black-shirt doctors came down the ramp passing Jericho, Guevara, and Hager as Jericho yelled "You'll never be world champion, junior!")
"As we get Cody some medical help, we will be sure to provide updates on his condition as the night goes on. What a way to kick off our broadcast. We had GTS put their shine on and gave us a good battle royal and the Inner Circle just decimating Cody's right leg. That's really bold and Jericho doesn't think it can haunt him," Hank explained.
"You're damn right it won't! Cody knows what his place is in this company and he challenged me thinking he was bigger. I just reminded him of the facts that I'm the best in the world at what I fucking do!" Jericho exclaimed as he grabbed a headset.
(As Cody was stretchered up the ramp to the medical tent backstage, the projector and studio lights set up went out a little bit as the crowd wondered what was happening.)
"O…V….E! OHIO VERSUS EVERYTHING!"
(The crowd boos looking around as the cameras pan to the right corner of the guardrails and the lights flipped back on revealing Sami Callahan and his wife, Sara Lewis, hand-in-hand as Sami is wearing an O.V.E cap with the letters in bold white, a grey thick vest with an O.V.E patch on the right side of his vest and 'DEATH MACHINE/R.I.P ORANGE DICKWAD!" on the back in blood red. He carried his infamous baseball bat wearing black combat pants and wrestling boots. They both had masks over their mouths as Sami pushed aside the guardrail helping his wife through.)
"The following contest is set for one-fall! Introducing first, being accompanied by Sara Lewis and representing Ohio Versus Everything, from Dayton, Ohio, weighing 235 lbs., Sami Callahan!" Richard announced.
"Sami has been gun ho on getting past Orange Cassidy and he promises that there is hell in the future for the lazy sloth," Striker explained.
"This guy has anger issues and his wife is just a walking staring contest. That is one piercing gaze," Aubrey added as Sara walked by the announce tables.
(Sami gets on the east side apron lifting his baseball bat high before heading inside and takes off his cap throwing it on the canvas. He stares down the entrance waiting for his opponent.)
("Best Friends" by Mikey Ruckus)
(The crowd cheered ballistically as Orange Cassidy walks out in his natural attire with the exception of a bright orange headband with the words "SURE…WHY NOT?" in bold white lettering. Orange Cassidy holds up his right thumb lazily before heading down the ramp.)
"His opponent, from wherever, his weight doesn't matter, "Freshly Squeezed" Orange Cassidy!" Richard announced.
"Orange Cassidy deciding to sell his new orange headband which you can find on . The first time an independent wrestling star is selling their stuff exclusively on our site plus he has his normal merchandise on AEW and ProWrestlingTees," Hank explained.
"As much mind games Sami wants to play, Orange is coming in hot as ever and he's got the fan support behind him as a result. One of the most popular superstars in wrestling today," Russ added.
"How the hell is that? The dude who puts his hands in his pockets more popular than the first undisputed champion? That's ridiculous!" Jericho complained.
(Orange Cassidy comes down and sticks his hands out to slap fives with fans before heading to ringside as he rolls into the ring before taking out his normal orange juice sticking it in the lower left corner before Sami attacks him right out with USPW referee Howard Crinkle backing Sami up.)
The crowd boos as Howard calls for the bell and Sami gets Orange up shouting "FUCK YOU ALL!" before he hits a Bodyslam on Orange making the younger star grab his back.

Orange then stands up raising both hands in the air and sticks them in his pockets getting instant cheers from the audience as he waited for Sami to get up. Sami gets up before Orange throws a low effort kick to the shin and then another and another and another before Sami says "What the fuck are you doing?!" Orange throws a low effort chop before Sami tries for a chop, but Orange ducks under it.
"Now, Orange is playing the mind games for once and Sami doesn't like it one bit," Russ stated.
Sami tries for a Lariat, but Orange ducks going to run the south end ropes hopping over Sami and then hitting a Dropkick kipping up to his feet hands firmly in the pockets.

Sami soaks in the heat before getting Orange up hitting an Exploder Suplex and then hooking both legs.

"1…2…" The ref counted, but Sami pushed Orange off immediately after 2.

"Orange coming back into the game and Sami getting grounded more than usual. Can we see a full comeback from Orange Cassidy?" Russ asked.
Orange gets up and hypes the crowd up getting Sami up as he tries for the Canadian Destroyer, but Sami reverses with a Back Body Drop. Sami shouts "No more games! I'm ending you, punk!" Sami gets Orange up before locking up his opponent hitting the Sami Horror Picture Show (STO into a Dragon Sleeper) as Sami locked Orange in a tight face lock as the crowd boos.

He goes ringside taking a water bottle from the Spanish announce table dunking the liquid in his eyes to see better rubbing out the mist. Sami gets outside before trying for a Lariat, but Orange ducks drinking the water and spitting in the face of Sami, but Sami wasn't as affected as he was by the OJ. Sara gets on the lower right corner hitting a Moonsault on Orange Cassidy taking down the lazy sloth before checking her husband rubbing his eyes with a white cloth.

Sami then grabbed Orange getting him up before hitting a Vertical Suplex on the floor. Orange screams in agony as Howard finally gets up starting the count on both men oblivious to what happened prior.
"Howard finally back to his feet after Sami took him out and I'm not sure if he realizes who took him out. Sami mistook him for Orange Cassidy and socked him one for good measure," Aubrey stated.
Sami gets Orange back in the ring from the south side and he gets back in rolling to Orange Cassidy grabbing the left leg trying to lock in the Stretch Muffler, but Cassidy reversed into an inside cradle pin.

("Best Friends" by Mikey Ruckus)
"Here is your winner, "Freshly Squeezed" Orange Cassidy!" Richard announced.
"I can't believe it! When in doubt, Orange Cassidy is a little weasel pulling out all the stops!" Jericho complained.
"Orange Cassidy was finding it hard to put away Sami Callahan, but that wouldn't stop the creative ways from flowing and Sami thought this would be a piece of cake, but he underestimated what this lazy sloth could bring to the table," Russ added.
(Orange Cassidy sat on his butt and smiles at the shocking looks while Sami shouts "You got to be kidding me! What the hell?!" as Sara gets in to console her husband. Orange gets his left arm raised in victory and he takes a few deep breaths after fighting a hard contest.)
(Backstage, Cody is drinking a Sunkist orange juice before he put the cap back on the bottle and set it on a catering table. Suddenly, he is approached from behind by El Hijo de L.A. Park wearing a black jumpsuit with his normal white-faced mask. His jumpsuit has a green skeleton body design to it and his boots have a gold stripe going down the middle along with dark blue gloves as the luchador chuckled at Cody.)
"The hell are you laughing at?" Cody asked.
"Nada. Nada. Me resulta divertido que las diferencias entre tú y yo sean tan exquisitas. Como cómo gané anoche y tú no," Park replied in Spanish.
"You can't fool me. I thrive in the culture your country help make famous. I wanted to test myself against Matt and I succeeded even if I never won. Since you're so comfortable and confident you did better than me, care to prove it later tonight?" Cody challenged.
"Yo contra ti? Haha... Puedo asegurarte de que soy mucho más complicado que Matt. Yo soy el mejor en lucha libre mientras solo entrenas con mis hermanos máscara. Sin embargo, mi padre nunca rechazaría un desafío y yo tampoco. Sí, acepto tu desafío," Park replied back in Spanish.
"Only word I understood was yes. And it's the only I needed to hear, hombre," Cody stated before he walked off.
("Honka Honka Tonky Love" by Rhythm & Blues)
(The crowd cheered as a blue Cadillac started showing up on stage with The Honky Tonk Man wearing a red glittery musician jacket, red glittery tights, and white boots carrying his acoustic guitar. Greg Valentine wearing a blue royal robe with white boots tied with red laces as he waved to the crowd, and their manager, Jimmy Hart, wore a white jacket with a piano key-style tie, black slacks, brown dress shoes, and black buttoned-up shirt as he held up a golden record framed in a glass display case.)
"This is a tag team match set for one-fall! Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, weighing in at a total combined weight of 514 lbs., Honky Tonk Man and Greg "The Hammer" Valentine, the return of Rhythm and Blues!" Richard announced.
"Did we just go through a time portal back to a golden era? These two were the huge greats back in the late 80's era of wrestling," Russ stated.
"The Honky Tonk Man is a long-reigning Intercontinental Champion and Greg has his own resume of accomplishments. I had to go through hoops to get a reunion out of these guys," Hank stated.
"So we are going to glorify these dinosaurs who are going to get easily trounced tonight? Just let the men eat their pudding and put them to bed," Striker complained.
(The Cadillac drives down the ramp as Jimmy holds up the record with enthusiasm waving side to side as Honky Tonk Man strums the strings of his guitar. They get to the end of the ramp as HTM gets out of his car before helping Jimmy out and Greg opens the door letting himself out as he adjusts his robe before all three men meet ringside heading up the steel steps. Hart gets in first holding the ropes open for Greg and then for HTM. HTM plays along with the theme song doing an Elvis shake before Jimmy turns on his megaphone.)
"Ladies and gentlemen….you are witnessing the greatest spectacle to happen for the music industry in years. The men of the hour are back on stage for your viewing pleasure. The excellent combination of honky tonk classicmixed with the golden age hammer makes for one delightful performance," Jimmy stated.
"And that's just the beginning. It was time to get the old band back together one more time and relive the good days of actual music. Not to mention having two of the greatest wrestlers of that era bring it to you all personally," HTM said.
("Wave Your Hands" by Joe Hendry)
(The crowd booed loudly as Joe Hendry came out in a white John Lennon-inspired jacket shirtless with red trunks with "HENDRY IS REAL MUSIC" in platinum grey red boots on as he strummed on his electric guitar.)
"Did someone say real music? The kind that doesn't make even the elderly sick? Two old drones who don't know the words ring rust…believing their appearance is a must. However, there is charity with…one man who gives clarity…through a mess of obscenity…old men, your time is up…and you both are as fragile as water without the cup…look no further for a savior…a man so smart he has wrestling as a major," Hendry sang as he strummed some more to a booing crowd.
"Boy, you call that music?" HTM asked interrupting the song.
"Oh, did I offend you old platoons? Not sorry am I…I just didn't want these fans to suffer through music that came out when my parents were still babies. Music so past it's prime…it outdated the word entirely," Hendry replied.
"That's the thing with you young men out in the world of wrestling. No matter the attitude, you all think you're some kind of remedy to erase what good wrestling used to be. You wouldn't be saying that crap to Andre the Giant or Big John Studd if they towered over you. We legends deserve some respect for paving the way for you brats! Greg here is a great and I bring the rock n' roll to this gig so try as you must, we run the show right now! Ain't that right, New York?!" HTM shouted as the crowd cheered really loudly for the legend tag team.
"Legends deserve the same kind of respect these people do…non-existent," Hendry stated getting major heat for that statement as he strummed his guitar. "However, me and my partner…we bring a whole lot of flare and we bring a new age to drown out your legacies."
("Dalton Wants It All" by Adam Massacre)
(The crowd went into a mixed reaction as The Boys came out holding giant green feathers covering Hendry before revealing Dalton right next to his partner. Dalton is wearing a golden-trimmed silver jacket with yellow pants and black boots before he and Hendry came down the ramp.)
"Their opponents, being accompanied to the ring by The Boys, weighing in at a total combined weight of 446 lbs., the team of Joe Hendry and Dalton Castle!" Richard announced.
"Well, these two never cease making an entrance. Dalton is one of the most flamboyant men on the roster and Hendry always mocks his opponents through music. A clash of ages for tonight," Aubrey stated.
"Both Honky and Greg getting ready for a fight of their lives. Both men haven't competed in a long time, but we never count out legends if they can back up their talk," Russ added.
"You the ass kisser of the night, Russ? Hendry and Castle are going to wrestle circles around these old men," Jericho retorted.
(Hendry and Castle make it ringside as Dalton instructs both Boys to bend down as he steps on their backs before standing on the north side apron. He then bows his head before lifting his yellow wings into the air as three layers of peacock feathers rise behind the audience along with golden pyro from some nearby cannons.)
Dalton removes his entrance attire wearing yellow trunks with "PEACOCK" in bold blue coloring while Hammer wears blue trunks with "The Hammer" in bold white coloring on the back. HTM and Hendry would start off as the referee for the match, ROH referee Todd Sinclair, called for the bell letting the men go at it locking up.

Hendry kicks down sending a knee into the face of HTM and he tags in Dalton as Dalton gets his shots in. Dalton tags Hendry back in as Hendry drags HTM to the upper left corner kicking his opponent down. Hendry then backs up running to hit a knee strike in the corner.
"Hendry off to a great start isolating HTM from the get-go and weakening the old man," Striker praised.

HTM gets Hendry up hitting a Headbutt into the east end ropes before Greg tags in as the old veteran teams with HTM hitting a Double Clothesline as Todd gets HTM on the apron. Greg hits two elbow drops on the chest before attempting a pin.
"1…" The ref counted, but Hendry kicked out immediately following one.
Valentine gets on his knees before bringing Hendry up shoving him into the upper right corner hitting forearm smashes to the face. He then brings Hendry to the middle hitting a Snap DDT before he hooks the right leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted as Hendry kicked out at 2.4!
"Greg bringing the hammer and putting his name to good use. Hendry is getting wasted," Hank stated.

Dalton gets in as Greg runs to Dalton, but Dalton lifts the big man hitting a Scoop Slam. Dalton then hits a Leg Drop to the old man before running the south end ropes to hit another Leg Drop. Dalton then hooks the left leg for the pin.
"1…2…" The ref counted, but HTM breaks the count at 2.6!

Dalton gets HTM up whipping HTM off the west end ropes before coming back with a vicious Clothesline. He then gets HTM back up hitting a Northern Lights Suplex bridging the pin.
"1….2…." The ref counted as HTM kicked out at 2.3!
"Honky tried ending it earlier, but Dalton is much younger and much quicker to get by with his arsenal," Striker stated.
Dalton gets up tagging Hendry in with a devious smirk before they get HTM up hitting a Double DDT on the canvas. Hendry turns HTM over trying for the pin.

As the legend began locking in the Figure-Four Leg Lock, but Hendry immediately escaped dragging Greg to the middle locking in the Hendry Lock (Single Leg Boston Crab)! HTM tried interfering, but Dalton quickly got in lifting the legend up to hit the Bang-A-Rang before locking in the Calf Crusher reaching to wrench the feet. Both legends screamed in agony as Greg taps out first to the submission hold causing the ref to call for the bell.
("Wave Your Hands" by Joe Hendry)
"Here are your winners by way of submission, Joe Hendry and Dalton Castle!" Richard announced to the booing crowd.
"Like them or not, these men showed the old generation just what they were up against," Jericho stated.
"I'll admit Hendry locking Greg in the Hendry lock and reversing the Figure Four was brilliant. However, the legends did not disappoint. These are old men, but they showed a decent effort," Aubrey explained.
(Hendry collapsed onto the south end ropes as Dalton struck a victory pose trash talking the audience before Jimmy checked on his clients with Greg grabbing his leg in agony and HTM breathed heavily as their tag team reunion was spoiled for the night.)
