BONUS Chapter 1: Peter Giese's Homecoming

The crowd in Chicago goes wild, as the next match is underway.

(Heyman): Ladies and gentlemen…

Paul Heyman appeared on the stage and had a microphone, "Chicago, Illinois, ladies and gentlemen… My name is… Paul Heyman! And I serve as the Wiseman and Special Spokesperson to The Inner Kingdom, and to your Undisputed UCPW Universal Heavyweight Champion… a man that needs no introduction! Because he is home… IN CHICAGO!
HE IS MR. 1,000! THE DEMIGOD! PETER! GIESE!"

Giese's theme hits, and Peter appeared on the stage, title in hand, and in a swarm of cheers. He raised his title high, and pyro goes off. He walks down the ramp in a smirk, as Heyman follows him.

(Glynda): The Demigod, Peter Giese! Tonight marks Day 1,059, and fitting that he appears in his hometown of Chicago.

(Sajuna): Peter Giese is here tonight, and he should be knighted for this, as he is home in the Windy City.

(Glynda): Giese, of course, started his career at Survivor Series, back in 1991. And fitting that he continues his 32-year legacy, with the longest championship reign in the Modern Era. And a celebration in Chicago, as well.

Peter enters the ring, and stood on the apron. He raised his finger high, and the fans joined in. He entered the ring, and Heyman grabbed the microphone. Peter was given the mic, as he was prepared.

"Chicago!" Peter called, "I'm back, baby!" They cheered on, as he continued, "Good to be back in Chicago. And wonderful… Too fantastic to return, as this Premium Live Event is where I started it all. It was November 27th, 1991… I started my career, a part of the team. And my first night, it wasn't pretty. 32 years from Monday, it'll be exactly my 32 years in the business. I practically done it all, and I have so many accomplishments. But I chose to maintain my cool, because there are still those that tried to take my title. Now, yes, Grand Tournament season has begun. But by tonight, I will decide who I face for the title… either Blake Belladonna… or Lara Gonzalez." The fans booed, as Peter said, "To be honest, I hope Blake wins. Because there's no way that Lara Gonzalez is ever going to beat me for MY title! I'm the greatest of all time! NOT HER! I'm the World Champion! NOT HER! I'm better than Lara Gonzalez! And I've put people down!
When I was champ, I put Homura down, and now she's flashing on social media.
I put Farra Stevens down, and she won't leave me alone!
I put Neo Politan down, and she saw the light!
I put Cy down, and SHE won't leave me alone!
I put Mizuki Takase in her place, and she's been gone since!
I put Jaune Arc down, and he lost his job!
I put down Konoka Konoe, Yu Inagawa, Kuon Ginga, Steven Cooke, Satsuki Kiryuin, PT Knight!"

"YEAAAH!"

"The list goes on! And that also includes… the other GOAT… Daisy! And Nodoka, she put her in retirement." They booed, as Peter chuckled, "No one is above me. I've done this for over three decades! And I'm still beating! I dare anyone in JWW or UCPW or NXT to put me down. Because I run this yard! Call it a yard, call it a field, call it an island, it matters not. I call it… A Plateau.
Everyone that faced me, since I won, three years ago, they never were the same. Bell Reigns, she learned not to mess with me! D-Mob, he is retired now! As does Sakaki, my pupil! But I put everyone in their place, and even took this title, and more! They don't need to acknowledge me! They need to worship me! I'm a King! I'm a Demigod! I'm more than a man, less than a God, and I'm a living legend! But the one thing I am not… … …is Head of the Table. Because I am NOT like him. Which is why… I'm going to defend my UCPW Title, for the last time… in 2023. At Fight Club: WinterFest! I welcome… any and all newcomers. Anyone who hasn't beaten me, or has already faced me, you're not welcome to a rematch! I mean, I want NEW challenges! I want NEW blood! I want a new superstar to face! And I'm open to face them! Because by the time we Ring in the New Year, I'm going straight to the top, and I'll do it again. You know that I faced a lot, and I survived, and I was still fighting! Title or no title, I STILL persevere! I'M THE KING OF THIS RING! AND I'M TAKING IT FOR ME! BECAUSE I RUN THIS RING! No one else." He held his title and said, "This… represents the higher plateau of UCPW. And for 1,059 days, and counting… I'm standing tall, and all around the world… They will praise me!"

Suddenly, Judgment Day music plays, as Quinn Morgendorffer and Yoh Asakura appear. Asakura said, "Pretty beautiful, King Giese… Very very pretty." They walked down the ramp, "You make one speech, here in Chicago, but you speak lies. ONE title doesn't make you Roman Reigns! ONE TITLE doesn't make you run UCPW. The Judgment Day already runs UCPW!"

"Fuck you." Peter huffed. The fans cheered, as Asakura was shocked. "You and Quinn get no title shot. End of story."

Quinn takes the microphone and barked, "Who do you–?" The fans booed very loudly, as Quinn was annoyed. "WHO DO YOU THINK–?" The boos drowned her words, and started chanting "Shut the f**k up! Shut the f**k up!", and Quinn tried to speak loudly. "WHO do you think you are, talking to Papi like that?" He hollered, trying to speak up, "Papi and I are leading The Judgment Day to tonight's WarGames match, and all you're doing… is talk out of your own ass!"

Peter called, "You think so? Get in the ring! And say it to my face."

Quinn and Asakura entered the ring, as Quinn has a microphone in hand, "You–!" The boos went louder, and she barked, "YOU–!" She then said, "You and I go way back! Attitude Era, we were the top stars! We had the 90s and the 21st Century in my hands! Me and my sister, we were legends! And no one cares about my asshole mom, and my deadbeat dad–."

"And that runs in the family." Peter said sarcastically, "Ladies and gentlemen, the Asshole Deadbeat!" They laughed, as Quinn was insulted. He said, "I know you… You were a legend. You went through hell, especially with a career-ending knee injury, and then teamed with Chiyo Mihama to reinvent yourself, because she cared for your sister, and your family! But…" He glared at her, "Who do you think you are, trying to step up into my field, my ring – MY ring! – and hide behind your thugs? Your Papi isn't the one… because you broke up with numerous other guys you find, because you're attractive and popular. But now, you're the total opposite. Times changed! And you're no Daria Morgendorffer."

Quinn was upset, as Asakura yelled, "YOU THINK YOU CAN INSULT MY QUINN-QUINN? THE JUDGMENT DAY RUN–!"
"Next words out of your mouth are your teeth spat out! Get out of my face, asshole!"

Peter was furious, as Asakura was annoyed. "You don't scare me, Giese! You were once a dynasty! You were once dominant! But now, your kingdom is falling apart! And us… We have all the gold! The Women's Title, The Tag Team Titles, the NXT North American Title, and Money in the Bank. We have all the gold, but you don't! All you have is one dinky gold belt."

"No. I have more than that." He said, "Look at the accomplishments I made that are better than Quinn. I'm a former 15-time World Champion, multi-time Tag Team Champion, Intercontinental Champion, Royal Rumble Winner, Money in the Bank winner, Grand Tournament winner (TWICE!), Battle of the Sexes winner, the man who co-created Hell's Inferno, the man who put UCPW on the map, the man who created Main Event match after match after match, I main evented Japan, Canada, Mexico, England, Australia, Saudi Arabia, and appeared in more WrestleManias than you ever did!" He said, "You run all of UCPW? ONE title doesn't make you a legend."

(Sajuna): He's absolutely right.

(Glynda): Quinn's a former World Champion, former Tag Team Champion, won the Royal Rumble in 2002…

"And yes, you got on your feet, won a title that represents NXT, which I respect… But until you win this… or the World Heavyweight Title, you're nothing. Your sister, Daria, was a legendary World Champion… and when she died, she took all the popularity that you had, and she buried it… from you.
Your mother, she was hated; your father, he was beloved and respected; your friends, they had careers that overshadowed you! Names like Jane Lane, like Sandi Griffin, like Jodie Landon, like Stacy Rowe, like Tiffany Blum-Deckler, like Brittany Taylor… … … but they are nothing like you, Quinn. They fought hard to be immortalized… while all you did was hide behind boyfriends, hide behind backup… like a coward!
Names in the past, they held a candle to the Attitude Era, names like me, like Heather Dunn, like Sora Takenouchi, like Farra Stevens, like Bryan Spears, Tai Kamiya, Ash Ketchum, they all fought that hard to be part of an elite list of Legends and Hall of Famers! But you're not on that list, Quinn! No!
Because all you are… … … is a wannabe has-been, who hates her parents, who denounces her late sister's legacy, and disgraced her family."

Fans cheered on, as Peter was pouring from the heart.

(Sajuna): Amen.

(Glynda): Never thought Peter Giese has had a thing against Quinn.

Quinn tried to speak, "Let me tell you–." The boos went louder. "Let me–!" And louder more.

They chanted "F** you, Quinn! F**k you, Quinn! F**k you, Quinn!". He said, "See? No one wants to hear you. Lemme remind you of who I am.
Who has the longest reign in history? Wiseman!"

Heyman said, "You do, my Demigod."

Peter said, "Who has the best track record in UCPW?"

"You do."

"WHO is better than Quinn Morgendorffer?"

"YOU DO, my Demigod! Your majesty, my Tribal Chief! You are better than Quinn Morgendorffer ever will be!" Heyman said, praising his associate.

"And who is the dominant faction in all of UCPW?" Peter concluded.

"The Inner Kingdom!" Heyman smiled.

Peter said, "Lemme tell you something! You think I give two shits about The Judgment Day? The only mistake you ever made was turning on Chiyo Mihama. I fought Chiyo-chan for this title, and unlike the others I smashed, I showed respect. I am NOT a bully. I am NOT a part-timer! I AM NOT YOU!
And you dare show up, before you have a match inside WarGames, and to challenge me, of all people? You make me sick! I never liked you! I never cared for you! And I never asked for your help!
Quinn, Asakura… You can talk all you want, but I run ALL of UCPW… as the dominant champion! And I dare you to sic Delia Priest in and cash-in. Because it'll end the same way… when I SMASH Delia Priest, just like I smashed Tenma Tsukamoto, a while back. And put the Zombie to rest."

(Glynda): Extreme Rules 2021. Giese and Tenma have met.

"I will let you have your say… but only when I say you're DONE talking. And YOU are DONE! Talking!" he barked, "Wiseman! Tell them!"

Heyman said, "Thank you, my King… My God… Tonight, at Survivor Series: WarGames, from the hometown of THE Demigod… Peter Giese promises that The Judgment Day will… lose… WarGames, in the Main Event. And as for this alliance that I offered to you… Asakura, Quinn, and the rest of The Judgment Day… On behalf of The Inner Kingdom and your reigning! defending! Undisputed! UCPW Universal Heavyweight Champion of the World… Your services… are no longer required. And if he ever see you again, in any way shape or form, or trying to do his dirty work… then The Legend Himself, The Demigod, The King of UCPW, will not be responsible… for what happens… to Quinnie… and Papi." he said it to Quinn's face, "And Quinn… Come NXT Deadl1ne, I will formally announce… that Dirty Quinn Morgendorffer… will lose the NXT North American Championship… and he doesn't care who it is that takes it from you.
Because The Judgment Day kisses the feet of The King of UCPW! Peter Giese, runs ALL of UCPW! And that's not just a prediction… that… is a spoiler!" Peter raises his title high, and Quinn and Asakura leave the ring. "Now, get the hell out of his ring. Before he changes his mood."

The Judgment Day leaves, as Peter cackles. Quinn yelled, "This isn't over! I'm after you, Fight Club!"

Peter said, "You wanna face me at Fight Club? Does Quinn want a title opportunity?" He replied, "I said… I accept all newcomers… anyone I never faced before. And we met before, long ago, so the answer is NO!" He said, as he stated, "You don't like it, Papi? Fine. Go to AEW."

The fans cheered, as they booed Quinn & Asakura out of Chicago. Peter's theme plays, as Quinn and Asakura were furious.

(Sajuna): Who does he think he is? Peter Giese insults Dirty Quinn and Papi!

(Glynda): Peter Giese speaks the truth. He has his own kingdom, and has NO TIME for outsider help. But the words he said to Quinn… She deserved every word of it. The Inner Kingdom has cut ties with The Judgment Day. It's now become territorial.

(Sajuna): Look at the posse he's got – Neo Politan, Setsuna, Nodoka Miyazaki, Yozuki Noctiflora, Kandy Potter, and Paul Heyman. While The Judgment Day has Tenma Tsukamoto, Delia Priest, Quinn & Asakura, Chiaki Nanami, and Pyrrha Nikos. Judgment Day has MORE gold than The Inner Kingdom, by my count. But The Demigod has the centerpiece.

(Glynda): Nonetheless, The Judgment Day in our main event, later tonight.

Backstage (prior to the Main Event)

At The Judgment Day's locker room, Chiaki said in anger, "Peter Giese says that he runs UCPW? Until he has all the gold like we have, and in my count, we have more gold than him, he can't prove it! The Judgment Day runs all UCPW, while his Inner Kingdom is slowly deteriorating. Make no mistake about it, Big Man. You hurt Quinn's feelings…"

Quinn stated, "Let me tell you something! NOTHING is going to derail me from WarGames tonight, just as we're going to do with your enemies! And you can't fire us from your inner circle… I had a lot more matches than you ever currently had, because I am always on every week, while you appear, once a month, defending that UCPW Universal Title. But nobody… NOBODY insults my sister, Daria. I don't give a shit about my asshole mom and my deadbeat dad. My sister… She was the ONLY PERSON I CARED FOR!" Asakura held her back, as she was upset.

Tenma replied, "Peter Giese, you speak in lies! This isn't you. You're NOT Roman Reigns, yes. You're NOT a part-timer, yes. But you're not a legend. You're not a king, you're not a demigod, you're not even God. You're a puppet to the Wiseman. And you're just a man."

Pyrrha responded, "Delia and Tenma, they know you too well, so we all agreed. Quinn's not the one that's challenging you at Fight Club: WinterFest. I am. You said that you want to face someone you have never faced before? Well, challenge accepted. So, in three weeks time… I'm bringing that title to The Judgment Day, and ending your record-setting reign. And I won't be sorry."

Delia nodded, "And in the meantime, Big Guy…" She held her briefcase, "This briefcase… is labeled for one Subaru Freakin' Mikage, someone you cashed in on, before. And when the time's right… The only thing you will acknowledge is… The Judgment Day rules over you!"
