World Frontier Pro Wrestling Chapter 12: WFPW Sands of Time Kickoff Pre-Show, a wrestling fanfic

WFPW SANDS OF TIME 2023 KICKOFF PRE-SHOW

Venue: Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Indoor Stadium

Date: March 12th, 2023

State/City: Kolkata, West Bengal, India

(Red curtains with gold trimming were swept aside in an animation as a gold hourglass appeared on the screen continually dropping sand from the top half to the bottom elegantly as the curtains flowed to both sides of the hourglass. "Sands of Time" by Crossnail ft. Elize Ryd is playing as the words "SANDS OF TIME" in bold gold lettering appear in front of the hourglass with the WFPW logo etched on the very top before the animation bursts into the packed stadium. Indian citizens and wrestling fans are inside raising their signs for the cameras to see as the total capacity is 10,557 in attendance with seating all around the arena and some front row seating down at the bottom floor. There is about 130 fans seated ringside as the camera people working ringside zoom in on the fans screaming their heads off. Ushers could be seen in their red uniforms escorting fans to their seats ringside as the area around the ring was the normal black barricade and mats with two announce tables ringside this show. The ring had the normal white canvas, black apron coverings with the show logo (north and south) and the WFPW logo (west and east) present on them, four pairs of orange ropes all around the ring with the show logo on the red turnbuckle pads, and the normal steel steps. The stage itself had long red curtains surrounding the metal scaffolding and metal guardrails separated the audience from the main stage. A giant hourglass could be seen just behind the curtains with a gold trim pouring digital sand inside and the main titantron is behind the curtains as well with the show logo shown on it. The ramp precedes a set three stairs down from the stage and is just a straight line towards the ringside area. The cameras continued zooming in on the fans all over and the stage lights shined up the stage area hanging from the scaffolding.)

WFPW Commentators

Russ Markley ( foureyeswonder) and Greg Justice ( InGregWeTrust)

"An incredible night here in Kolkata! Welcome everyone to Sands of Time and this is the pre-show for the event. We have a good lineup of tag team action here for you all as well as an opening address from the Nightfall-Contra merger as Josef and Lilith will be here tonight," Russ explained.

"Not to mention, Aaliyah Evans has joined their side and I wonder how she fits into all of this considering she's never been a part of both factions. We saw at Absolute Zero that she was bringing professionalism to WFPW and it could be that she had a secret hand in putting this thing together," Greg added.

"Both leaders of Contra and Nightfall will be here to spill the beans on the merger. We also have Tamao Silver back on the travel trail as well. We will hear from her on the pre-show about her next steps forward," Russ stated.

(Graphics for the relevant information showed up on the screen as the crowd booed the Merger From Hell, but popped big for Tamao's announcement later on. Russ is shown wearing his normal black tuxedo and Greg is wearing a white "In Greg We Trust" long-sleeved shirt with blue jeans as they were talking in their headsets. Next to them would be the Indian commentary team of the night as both men were Indian sporting short black hair. One is wearing a green sherwani and his partner is wearing a red sleeveless vest jacket over a black dress shirt with bronze buttons.)

WFPW Indian Commentators

Jairaj Reynash and Rohan Zahir

"And let us take a minute to introduce the Indian commentary team for the night. We have Jairaj Reyansh in his sherwani and next to him is Rohan Zahir. Welcome aboard, guys!" Russ greeted.

"It is very good to be here! Thank you very much, Russ!" Jairaj greeted with his jazz hands as Rohan nodded playing with a click pen.

"We do have one more guest joining us on commentary. Let's head to Tony Chimel back on the mic to introduce them," Greg stated.

(Tony would already be inside the ring as he was cheered and shown wearing a black suit with the same colored slacks and dress shoes along with a white tie tucked into a yellow dress shirt.)

WFPW Ring Announcer

Tony Chimel ( TheTonyChimel)

"Ladies and gentlemen, joining the commentary teams tonight, WFPW Commissioner Hank Strongbow Williams!" Tony announced to the big cheers of the crowd.

("Our House" by Dale Oliver)

(Hank came out to thunderous cheers as the graphics showed up behind him and he hyped up the crowd wearing aviators along with a navy blue suit, white dress shirt, red tie, blue slacks, and black dress shoes. He hyped the crowd up coming down the steps before putting up one finger and then doing his old nWo pose pointing back to the stage.)

("Tank!" by Cowboy Bebop)

(The crowd went into more cheers as a younger man comes out sporting short blonde hair wearing a black suit and slacks along with a navy blue tie tucked into a blue and white checkered shirt. He comes out roaring and shaking his fists with a big grin on his face. He comes down the steps shaking hands with Hank as he leads his friend down the ramp.)

WFPW CEO and Commissioner

Hank Strongbow Williams ( WFPWHank)

LAW CEO and General Manager

Dan DeFranco

"Wait a minute! Hank brought Dan all the way from LAW!" Russ exclaimed.

"For those not in the know, Dan "The Man" DeFranco runs one of WFPW's partner promotions way back in Japan known as League of Anime Wrestling, but they have extended their outreach internationally to many countries thanks to Dan," Greg added.

(Hank came ringside as Dan got on the west apron and shook the top rope like The Ultimate Warrior as he headed inside running the ropes like a true super fan as Hank shook hands with fans around the ring before calling Dan out. Dan had a big grin on his face getting down before hugging Greg and then Russ before accepting a steel chair from the timekeeper's area. Hank grabbed his own chair and Russ handed him a headset.)

"Holy cow! This is awesome! Thanks for having me!" Dan exclaimed.

"Danny boy over here wanted to tap into the Indian market so he's my guest of honor for the show. He's a true fan and knows his stuff," Hank added as he sat next to Russ.

"Nice to have you here, Mr. DeFranco. Having you here on the commentary team tonight will show the strength and passion of the partnership our companies share," Russ stated.

"Well, some of LAW's best tag teams are in action as well. I have to come out here to support the women that make LAW the finest promotion for women's wrestling," Dan added.

("Get Lucky" by Daft Punk ft. Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers)

(A mixed reaction comes from the crowd as Danny Jackpot walks out as his titantron plays behind him and he is wearing an orange version of his attire from Destiny in Milan. He walks down the steps and he has a mic of his own in his hand as he called for the music to be cut.)

"Hello Kolkata!" Danny greeted to the cheers of the crowd as he walked down the ramp. "I just wanted to say-"

("Get Low" by Lil Jon and The East Side Boyz ft. The Ying Yang Twins)

(The graphics changed to a pudgy black man dancing and showing off his highlights on the indies as the mentioned man comes out with his hair tied in dreads with red beads. He wore a flashy black leather jacket, orange trunks with yellow and white graffiti symbols on the back, orange knee pads, a gold chain around his left knee, and black wrestling boots. Sunglasses adorned his face as he skipped out doing some hip hop dancing and spinning coming down the steps as the crowd bounced their heads to the music.)

Ziggy Montell ( CrunkKid)

"The following contest is a tag team match set for one-fall! Introducing first, weighing in at a total combined weight of 470 lbs., Danny Jackpot and Ziggy Montell!" Tony announced.

"Well, Danny didn't get to say quite much as his partner upstaged him," Greg stated.

"That's Ziggy Montell and he's a former Tough Enough contestant and even had a few matches in NXT before he was released. He had something to prove and left for the indies building up his resume. Ziggy is a former Impact X-Division Champion winning it last year and holding it for four months before dropping it to Ace Austin in a Ladder Match," Hank added.

"And now he's in WFPW looking to keep his train moving on the tracks. I just hope he didn't piss Danny off," Russ stated.

(Ziggy jiggled his gut coming down the ramp slapping fives as Danny shook his head and fumed a little following from a distance. Ziggy came to the steel steps and stomped loudly on them before coming to the north apron wanting the audience to bob to the music. Ziggy gets in before dropping for The Worm and rolling out to the outside stepping on the announce tables and crossing them to pump the crowd up. Danny rolls in and tries calling in his partner, but Ziggy jumps down letting the music drown out Danny as he gets on the barricade slapping hands.)

("IS" by John Kieran)

(The crowd cheered a little mildly as Effy comes out sporting a white headband, a pink spiked leather jacket, pink trunks with his name on the back in bold black lettering, and white boots with pink laces. Ziggy and Danny regroup as Ziggy takes off his glasses and jacket revealing stacks of money and muscle car tattoos on his back along with a brunette woman dressed in a sexy succubus uniform and carrying a red pitchfork on the right arm tattooed. Effy pumped up the crowd coming down the ramp.)

Effy ( EFFYlives)

"And their opponents, first, representing Game Changer Wrestling, from Tallahassee, Florida, weighing 230 lbs., Effy!" Tony announced as the crowd popped loudly.

("No Days Off" by John Kieran)

(Fred Rosser runs out next to big cheers as some fans held up rainbow armbands supporting the LGBTQ+ wrestlers that came to perform tonight. He is bald wearing black trunks, black armbands along with a rainbow armband on his right wrist, and white boots with black bottoms. He cracked his knuckles joining his partner on the ramp.)

Fred Rosser ( realfredrosser)

"And his partner, representing New Japan Pro-Wrestling, from Union Township, New Jersey, weighing 239 lbs., Fred Rosser!" Tony announced before ducking back.

"A big night for the LGBTQ+ community here in India as several wrestlers identifying with them have come out to perform and support the growing acceptance in India. India is actually considered one of the friendliest countries for the community," Russ stated.

"You couldn't do it with two better people than right here. Fred and Effy are the most prominent gay wrestlers on the independent circuit," Greg added.

(Fred slapped some fives and even grabbed a white sign that said "#BlockTheHate" in red marker as Effy skipped down the ramp hugging female fans before hopping on the west apron. He dug around in a inside pocket of his jacket throwing out pink confetti to the outside as Fred raised the sign he took showing the crowd before going back to hand it over. Danny just raised an eyebrow hopping in place as Ziggy stepped on the apron grabbing the tag rope. Oscar Johnson kept both sides apart as he was the assigned referee.)

Effy takes off his jacket volunteering to start out as he takes off his jacket and slides it outside as he stuck his hand out to Danny. Danny just raised both middle fingers getting booed majorly as he hit a chop to Effy's chest allowing the bell to ring. Danny tried running the east ropes, but Effy ducked pulling the west top rope allowing Danny to vault over to the outside. Fred jumps off the apron as grabs Danny shoving him into the barricade as Danny goes up the ramp and Fred hits a Knee Strike to the back. Fred grabs Danny up by the straps sending him in the ring as Effy grabs Danny putting him over the right knee. Effy hyped up the crowd before spanking Danny comically as the crowd was entertained. Danny got off and grabbed his behind arguing with the referee as Effy strutted around blowing kisses to the crowd. He even did a mocking bow straight to Danny as the Mississippi native gets up with a fire in his eyes.

"Danny being taken over the knee for being a bad boy. That has to sting his ego," Russ teased with a light chuckle.

Danny locked up with Effy as Effy hit a right kick to the gut before hitting an uppercut to take down Danny. Effy taunts to the crowd before tagging in Fred as Fred gets in getting Danny up whipping him off the south ropes in order to hit a Discus Lariat. Danny held his chest as Fred kicked the head three times and then the chest of his opponent five times. Fred hyped up the crowd before getting Danny up by his hair holding him before hitting a rough chop and then he hit a Snap Suplex on the braggart as Danny screamed before Fred hooked both legs.

"1…2…" The ref counted, but Ziggy got hit to slam down his fists on Fred's back after 2!

The ref ordered Ziggy back on the apron as Fred gets Danny up as Danny reverses out with a Headbutt before whipping Fred north hitting a Back Elbow Smash to the face of the gay wrestler. Danny followed up with a chop and a elbow drop on the bare chest before going over to tag in Ziggy as Danny runs to hit an elbow drop again while Ziggy climbs the lower right corner balancing his big weight before jumping to hit a Body Splash! Ziggy then gets Fred up running east to hit multiple shoulder blocks as Fred can't keep up getting to his feet only to be knocked down again and again before Ziggy goes to the lower left corner running one last time for a Running Crossbody on Fred before pinning him!

"1…2…" The ref counted, but Fred pushes out after 2!

"Ziggy showing off some fast maneuvers and he's got a lot to prove here tonight against Effy and Fred. He's got to pick up where Danny slacked," Greg stated.

Fred gets sat up as Ziggy sends his right knee into the back multiple times before bringing Fred up for a Snap German Suplex as Fred rolls out onto the north apron grabbing the bottom rope to keep himself steady. Ziggy gets up and grabs Fred by the head, but Effy hit a Superkick to Ziggy making the big man stumble. Fred nodded to Effy before heading inside the ring again waiting for Ziggy to regain his vision and turn around as Fred lifted the big man on his shoulders spinning him around before he drops down to deliver the Gut Check! The knees drive into Ziggy's stomach as Fred turns to hit a Superkick right into Danny's face as Danny jumps off the apron to land near the announce table. Fred lifts Ziggy up again before extending a hand to Effy as Effy comically points to himself before accepting the tag coming inside as the ref acknowledges it. Effy runs the south ropes as Fred drops down for another Gut Check, but Effy combines a Cutter into the mix! Ziggy flops on the canvas as Effy pushes the big man over sitting on top as Fred puts his hands on Effy's shoulders!

"1…2…3!" The ref counted as Effy and Fred get that victory!

("IS" by John Kiernan)

"Here are your winners, the team of Fred Rosser and Effy!" Tony announced from the outside as he smiled.

An instant replay showed Effy's comical spanking of Danny, Ziggy's constant shoulders blocks as well as the following Running Crossbody into Fred, and finished up with Effy and Fred initiating a Gut Check/Cutter combo as Effy sat upon Ziggy to win the match.

"This was short, but Ziggy and Danny at least got to take charge mid-match. Ziggy definitely showing us his big speed boost and brutal force when he crashed into Fred," Russ stated.

"It is what it is, frankly. Two upstarts taking on two big timers crafting their art in the indies and Effy and Fred seemed to have a better chemistry," Hank stated.

(Effy gets helped up by Fred as they both hug and Danny leaned up against the announce table as he shook his head at another loss. However, someone in a black hoodie and jeans came up as the hood was thrown back revealing "Diehard" Anna DeMarco as she smirked at Danny and pointed at him laughing her head off. Anna held up the WARFARE Hardcore Championship in her right hand taunting Danny as he looked shocked scrambling to his feet.)

"Wait, hold up! How did Anna become champion?!" Greg exclaimed.

"We got word from a hotel in Milan that Tania Trom was attacked just before she was about to set off in a taxi for the airport for the next show. Anna pinned her on the sidewalk and made off with her luggage as well as the championship. She seems to have made a perfect escape to India and now, she's settling her original debt with Danny by mocking him," Russ explained.

"It was made official when the hotel turned over the security camera footage," Hank interjected.

(Danny gets to the barricade, but Anna grabs a fan's popcorn bucket to dump it over Danny's body as he got blinded before she hopped into the ringside area. She clocked him upside the head with the title as she laughed and raised her title to a mixed reaction. Anna hyped the crowd up sitting on the Indian announce table throwing the belt over her right shoulder admiring the carnage that was displayed ringside. However, an Indian man with short brunette hair stood up from the crowd just behind the announce desk as he wore a red dress shirt and blue jeans as he hyped up the crowd. This man is Indian indie wrestler Rakin Jin and he jumps the barricade tackling Anna off the announce table.)

"Wait…someone from the crowd is attacking Anna?!" Russ screamed.

"That's no ordinary fan. That's Rakin Jin, a big name here in the Indian promotions," Hank added.

(Rakin squatted down before hitting a signature Cyclone Kick to Anna's head before dropping down to hook both of her legs. Oscar slides out for the count.)

"1…2…3!" The referee counted as Rakin won the title!

(Rakin gets up grabbing the belt and holding it high for his fellow people, but Danny wasn't about to go down for long as he ran hitting a Flying Forearm Smash to the champion. He then hooked both legs locking in tightly.)

"1…2…3!" The ref counted as Danny captured the title again for the third time!

"Danny is now the new champion again!" Dan stated as he stood up from his seat.

(Danny cheered loudly proclaiming "I ain't a loser!" and grabbed his title before escaping over the barricade into the crowd running for an exit in order to escape for the night taking the title with him. Anna smacked the barricade and cursed another loss as Rakin rolled into the apron covering nursing his face.)

"Well, that was truly another piece of carnage for the lineage of that hardcore title. While we get cleaned up here ringside, we take it backstage as Marko Stunt is nearby with Tamao Silver on her next move in WFPW," Russ announced.

(Marko Stunt would be smiling as the camera was lowered to fit his size as he would be shown wearing a black blazer, black tie, white dress shirt, black slacks, and black dress shoes. He held his mic before it was his cue to speak.)

"Good evening, Kolkata, and to you guys there on the announce team! My guest at this time, world famous boxer and now, an exciting professional wrestler, The Energizer Bunny, Tamao Silver," Marko announced as Tamao showed up to big cheers wearing a black leather jacket, a white blue-striped shirt, black khakis, black heels, and a blue beret.

"Thank you for having me, Marko. I'm stoked to be in India," Tamao stated.

"First off, welcome to WFPW. You got properly acquainted back at British Invasion and scored an impressive victory over Tina Armstrong. That wasn't an easy match," Marko explained.

"It wasn't and I commend Tina for her efforts. I felt like I could've actually been spoiled in my very first wrestling match, but even with a tough fight, I'm not one to give up easily. I'm still excited with Tina's performance and anytime she wants to go again, I'm up for her challenge," Tamao replied with a pride smile.

"Well, the more pressing question in everyone's mind is what your next move will be. What is next for you in WFPW?" Marko asked.

"For right now, I'll be in the audience here and watch possibly the next best show for this growing company. I'll be signing autographs so don't be shy, guys. But for my next match, we do have Homecoming coming up," Tamao pondered as she got a good reaction from the crowd.

"Do you have someone on the mind?" Marko asked.

"Maybe. But I always believe that when the opportunity makes itself present, you own it and make it yours no matter what the risk is. That risk being stepping into the ring with me and showing me you can keep up. I love taking risks and I took this risk getting into this sport. It was always on my mind when training with my coach and he actually encouraged me to act. That's why I can't rely on choosing this match myself," Tamao replied.

"So, this must be an open challenge?" Marko asked.

"That's right. I'll be facing whoever wants to sign a contract that will be created between me and Hank Strongbow Williams. Whoever wants to face the face of women's boxing today, I'll be waiting for you. It can be a wrestling match, maybe take a step in my domain and lace up some gloves, but make no mistake about what conditions are set….I ain't an easy bug to squash. Bring more than you're worth….that's a lesson my coach taught me," Tamao replied.

"What will you expect for your second ever match?" Marko asked.

"I'm expecting a 120% effort. You can't just be able to hang. You have to adapt and outsmart me. That's what it is in boxing and it ain't no different in wrestling I find. I want my potential opponent to really believe they can beat me," Tamao replied.

"Any names that might come to mind?" Marko asked.

"All you need to know and for me to find out….is that I expect no less than what Tina brought. Fight me with your own strength," Tamao replied and winked at the camera before walking off.

(The lights went out as a strong cheer rang throughout the crowd and the beginning chorus started to feed through the lyrics. As the beat drop, a burst of fire appeared on the stage as the lights came back on to reveal Oscar Orelash wearing a sleeveless black grizzly bear fur jacket, green shorts, and black combat boots as he held out a torch to his mouth and had a bottle of lantern oil in his other hand. He raised the torch before blowing out another stream of fire from his mouth and he drank another sip of the oil. Behind him, an older man came out with long dirty blonde hair wrapped in a ponytail wearing a blue flannel bandana around his head, a yellow beard and yellow eyebrows, ripped jean trunks with a black elastic band up top, a blue flannel handkerchief hanging out the back, and blue wrestling boots with light blue laces.)

The Barbarian Prince

Oscar Orelash ( BarbarianPrince) and J.P. Raine ( RaineDelay)

"The following contest is a tag team match set for one-fall! Introducing first, weighing in at a total combined weight of 451 lbs., the team of "The Barbarian Prince" Oscar Orelash and J.P. Raine!" Tony announced.

"These two don't seem like much of a mismatch. Oscar has been making a big name for himself in Japan with LAW as one of the few males that can take it to the female roster and he's also extending his profile in America while also recently competing in Europe and now, India. He's even got a colossal victory over Paul Wight under the belt," Russ stated.

"Not to mention, he's going to be representing LAW in the upcoming World Frontier Cup. I've designated a women's and men's tournament for that show and Oscar has impressed me enough to get a spot to truly prove himself. I think he's the right fit to represent Canada and he's very patriotic," Hank added.

"We shouldn't sleep on J.P. Raine, who has trained under Raven, Tommy Dreamer, and Sabu. He started as enhancement talent, but he's extended his profile on the indies competing in various promotions and even out to Mexico and Australia," Greg added.

(Oscar patted his partner's back as J.P. slapped some hands and Oscar raised the torch careful not to let it accidentally set anyone on fire. A ring attendant came around with a fire extinguisher and Oscar allowed them to put out the fire as he gently set the torch on the floor. J.P. took off his headband putting it around the head of a young Indian girl ringside as she slapped the barricade loving it. J.P. smiled as Oscar came up the steps as he rolled in sitting right at the upper left corner as Oscar raised his right fist before coming in clapping hard.)

("The French Passion of Animality Opera" by Foxy Shazam)

(The crowd turned their attention to the stage as the titantron showed another entrance video of flashing colors and wrestling footage as two more men came out. The first one on the left is a tall Asian-American man sporting short black hair wearing a black "Fear The Blade" t-shirt in blood red lettering and a red blade through the letter B on the back as his main symbol, long black socks, and black boots with white laces. His partner is a bit taller than him as he is African-American wearing his black hair in small dreads with a black fedora on his head, a long black trench coat, a gold cross necklace, silver bible earrings, black tights with a gold cross on the front and a Proverb verse (Proverb 1: Verse 10) on the back, a long black beard, and black boots with white laces. The Asian man hopped in place as the black man came down the steps holding a black cane.)

The Silver Bullet/The Godfather

Chris Blade ( FearTheBlade) and Jaime Peters ( SinfulSon)

"And their opponents, weighing at a total combined weight of 460 lbs., they are the team of "The Silver Bullet" Chris Blade and "The Godfather" Jaime Peters!" Tony announced.

"Both indie boys right here as Blade comes to us from Britain and Japan where he has spent most of his career thus far. Former PROGRESS World Tag Team Champion and RevPro Tag Team Champion along with former IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion and Junior Heavyweight Tag Team Champion. He's also done work with NOAH, AJPW, wXw, and Dragon Gate," Russ recounted as he looked at his notes on his iPhone.

"For Jaime, he's competed in southern promotions in the U.S., but made a few stops on the east coast for Combat Zone Wrestling in Dojo Wars tapings. This is his first international match aboard," Greg added.

(Blade comes down the steps talking down to cheerful fans as Jaime just stood menacingly and Blade snickered around as he patted his own partner's back. They came ringside as Chris tore off his shirt revealing a white and black checkered singlet with his symbol on the back with a black trim as Jaime calmly took off his fedora and coat throwing them outside as he grabbed the middle rope of the south apron getting up before going in the ring. Blade rolled in and climbed the lower left corner taunting the crowd. Howard Crinkle is the assigned referee for the match.)

Oscar and Jaime would start as their partners went on the apron as J.P. had been revealed to have tattoos of a weeping angel on his right arm and the Nirvana logo on his left hand. He talked inaudibly to Oscar as the bell rang with both big men circling the other. They locked up as Oscar gets Jaime in a brief headlock, but Jaime lifts Oscar and bounces him off the north ropes. Oscar stumbles on his knees and hands before suffering a kick to his head making him roll around. Blade clapped for his partner as Jaime picks Oscar up shoving him in the upper right corner hitting multiple elbows and Blade even ran across the apron to hit his own elbow which got him scolded by the ref. Jaime throws Oscar out into the middle as the Barbarian grabs his back in pain. Jaime then hit another kick to the back of Oscar's head as he grinned to the crowd earning him boos as a result. Jaime grabs Oscar up as he hits a Gutwrench Suplex on his opponent before pinning him down.

"1…2…" The ref counted as Oscar kicked his feet up!

"A brief two count and Oscar getting dominated at the beginning so far in this match," Russ stated.

Oscar gets grabbed by his hair bringing him up as Jaime hits a Snapmare making him sit up. He drives his knees into Oscar's back as the Barbarian isn't having the best luck. J.P. smacks the top pad and holds out his right hand for the tag, but Blade tags his partner's hand first as Blade runs the south ropes hitting a Dropkick into Oscar's back. Oscar rolled around and pushed Blade away hitting his own Dropkick to the Japanese man. Oscar tagged J.P. in as J.P. settled himself in the middle and launched himself in attacking Blade with a Slingshot Forearm Smash. Blade goes down screaming in pain as J.P. kicks the stomach six times getting cheers and momentum for his team. J.P. kicked the head of Blade a few times as he hyped the crowd up with claps, but then the lights turned out sending confusion across the arena. As the lights were flickering back to life, Lord Omaniss appeared as J.P. Raine was right in front of him. Blade looked up with widened eyes and quickly got up pushing Raine into Omaniss as Raine turned around noticing the man. The bigger man grabbed both men by the throats as Jaime gets in to deal with the threat, but a massive boot to his face sends him outside the ring as he hit dual Chokeslams on both older man as the referee called for the bell declaring a no contest.

"Omaniss is here! We haven't seen him since British Invasion and it looks like carnage is on his mind here in India," Hank stated.

(Oscar saw Omaniss and got fired up heading inside to attack the bigger man from behind and he hit multiple axe handles hitting a Clothesline to Omaniss over the top rope near the announce tables. Oscar then ran the west ropes shooting out for a Suicide Dive to push Omaniss near the barricade as Hank was pushed out of the way. Oscar then started brawling with Omaniss as the Indian commentators got up with Omaniss lifting Oscar slamming him down on the Indian announce table as Oscar rolled over to the mats. Lord Omaniss then tore the cover of the table off and slammed the camera monitors down as he grabbed Oscar up, but Jaime Peters came to the rescue shooting his own Big Boot to Omaniss's face. Oscar was shoved to the ground draped by an apron covering as Jaime hit multiple hits to the face of Lord Omaniss, but the 666 devil himself lifted Jaime for a Spinebuster right through the Indian announce table!)

"Spinebuster through the table and this isn't a good sight for anyone right now!" Russ exclaimed.

"Hank, are you good?" Greg asked.

"Just getting away from this scene. Howard, get Oscar and Tyrone out here!" Hank barked his orders to the senior official.

(Howard tapped into his earpiece and nodded to his boss changing the channel to call for backup as Oscar Johnson and Tyrone Regis ran out from backstage to survey the situation. Oscar came around the ring to ward Omaniss off as Tyrone got in the ring checking Blade and J.P. He would also slide out to ask Oscar if he was good. Omaniss smirked and walked off doing what he came to do as he snickered to himself. The Indian commentators returned to their seats as Jaime rolled out of the wreckage slowly feeling his back.)

"Well, Omaniss has had it out for Oscar and Jaime took that bullet for him. This show has already gotten hectic," Russ stated.

"This brute has got a scary aura to him and he lives for the destruction and mayhem when he comes knocking. How does anybody hope to contend with this slugger?" Greg asked.

(Oscar nodded to Tyrone that he was alright sitting up as Omaniss eyed up Oscar and the two other wrestlers he destroyed in the ring as he turned towards the ramp getting major boos for his trouble that he started out here.)

(Backstage, Danny could be heard cheering his head off grabbing the WARFARE Hardcore Championship tightly to his chest. He went over to catering grabbing a cup of water set out drinking it in full before throwing away the paper cup.)

"I'm not a loser! This title means something to me and there ain't no way it's leaving my side again," Danny promised.

(As he checked over his snacking options and grabbed a bag of Doritos, an unexpecting ring attendant came over quietly and searching around the place for any other wrestlers. The ring attendant reached for a kendo stick neatly tucked in a trash can as they made sure not to make any sound of metal. The attendant rushed over as they clobbered Danny in the back as Danny indirectly fell forward as his face went deep into a cherry pie. He screamed dropping the title as another shot with the stick brought Danny into some whipped cream as the male jobber tried wiping his face, but he only got whipped cream on his face. Another shot made Danny go on the ground as the attendant took off the hat revealing Dakota Dick with short brunette hair: Dakota locked Danny in a La Magistral style rollup pin as Matt Belmont had just happen to stop by catering. Seeing the title, he went into action counting a quick three.)

"Woo! Give me this title!" Dakota cheered as he grabbed it getting his left arm raised, but Anna bashed him with a steel chair from behind severely pissed off.

"I'm taking back what is rightfully mine! I already dealt with the Irish chick in Italy taking the title from her outside her hotel and selling her stuff on eBay. I'm not keen on just accepting cash, though," Anna stated as she surveyed the scene of the two men.

(Anna bashed the back of Dakota with her chair before unfolding it near him. She also went over to the destroyed cherry pie throwing it down on Danny's face to add more insult to injury as she snickered to herself. Anna snapped her fingers at Matt and she sat down in her chair placing both feet on Dakota's chest laying back for a relaxing pin. Matt counted the three and Anna once again became the owner of the Hardcore Championship.)

"That's what I thought! This is mine and only mine!" Anna declared.

(As she grabbed the title, Anna didn't focus on the shadow looming towards her as Olivia Orelash knocked her out of her chair with her Sea Shanty Bullseye (Claymore Kick)! Anna gasped and landed hard on the concrete as she panted and Olivia was dressed in her normal clothes before dropping down on her knees to pin down Anna and her shoulders. Matt counted another three count as Olivia was now champion as she grabbed the belt looking it over.)

"You bozos should know that when treasure is being passed around, the privateer of the seven seas wants a bit of the paradise. The treasure is now secured. Later!" Olivia cheerfully called as she slung the title over her shoulder and whistled a song as the three defeated participants laid in a heap of their own kind.

(Josef Samuel would be seen smoking a cigar as he was seen outside of the stadium near an arch way entrance as he blew a wisp of smoke in the air. He wore a black blazer, black dress shirt, and white khakis with sunglasses as the sun set behind the stadium ready to throw the day into night time. Aaliyah Evans could be seen near a pillar wearing a red business suit with a white dress shirt, red slacks, and black high heels. Another woman would be seen coming into the frame with her blonde hair concealing her eyes as she wore a black biker jacket, grey shirt, and blue jeans. She looked up as Josef took another swig of his cigar before throwing it on the ground.)

"The hour of demise is upon WFPW. For months now, me and Josef have been doing business between both of our factions. His group may have been snuffed out of MLW, but it is making a resurgence with my blessing. Contra and Nightfall coexist as danger and destruction do. Josef, tell them about our merger," Lilith explained in her thick German accent.

"When me and Jacob were exiled and Contra was dismissed, it only brought more rage from within The Samoan Werewolf. Me and him were on our own. That's when, in secret privacy, Lilith was only a phone call away. Mr. Lewis has his connections and they are plentiful. This is what started the Merger From Hell. Nightfall is just as destructive and powerful as Contra once was and ladies and gentlemen, when Lilith told me about WFPW and her plan to make it the new headquarters of Nightfall with her fiancée high up in the company due to his relationship with Hank, I knew there was a way back. It always helps to have a mole feeding you information just like the noisy canary. In this instance, Lilith and Ryan became the snakes in the vines," Josef explained.

"And that's where I come in. Lilith….heard about my excursions with Cyber Legacy and when I signed with WFPW, I received a business call from her and a personal invitation to join Nightfall. She considers my prior experience worthy," Aaliyah added as she smirked coming up to the camera with her hands behind her back.

"A holy trinity of chaos. Both destructive…..and clean. Nightfall and Contra make the scraps and Aaliyah turns them into fresh roadkill with a little red bow on top. Business is a cutthroat world and we can't all be reckless," Lilith stated as she glared at the camera.

"Business is an art form and something I take very seriously," Aaliyah ensured. "I had to grow up fast when my parents were arrested and knew my ways of getting out of trouble. I can be very persuasive and sleek."

"I bring the monster that will drive over everyone in this company. Jacob Fatu is only the first I employ from my side. I will supply others. Contra will be rebuilt," Josef promised as he lit another cigar.

"This is only the beginning, WFPW. The Merger From Hell has begun and you better say all your prayers before they turn into ashes. Josef will smoke them as he stands over the bodies of the fallen and Aaliyah will cover for us when the time is right. I had all the pieces of this business proposal fall into place, but Ryan had secured an important piece by becoming invested in finances and logistics. That made getting connections all the easier," Lilith explained.

"We team together, because we are all dangerous. Welcome to our business. We've been expecting company," Josef stated as he threw down his second cigar as the camera zoomed in on it before it was smashed by Josef's shoe as all three leaders walked away with the camera showing their shoes.

(The cheers and theme music of The Varsity Bulls start up as their entrance video of the bull symbol and rotating football field are shown. A mixed reaction is given as all seven members come out with Logan leading the charge followed by Fred, Chase, Cordin, Stephen, Louis, and Becky. The boys wore their letterman jackets, black t-shirts, red tights with the bull logo on their legs along with a white waistband. Becky started doing a backflip on the spot trying to get the crowd to cheer on her team as she was wearing a full white and purple cheerleader outfit as she had her blonde hair in a ponytail tied with a purple bow. She clapped her hands as the guys audibly trash talked the audience as Logan asked for a microphone from backstage.)

The Varsity Bulls

Logan Gage, Fred Dixon, Chase Handers, Cordin Jackson, Stephen Van Necro, Louis Vanderbilt, and Becky Knight

"Hello India! Don't cheer! I didn't tell you too!" Logan exclaimed as he led the charge down the steps as he hoisted the mic to his mouth. "Ya know, the closest thing to football in India is soccer. Now, I understand that is a very touchy subject considering in America, our sport gets called a rip off when we had to change the name of soccer from football. In my opinion, soccer can suck a lemon, because you don't know adrenaline rush like running down the field to the end zone and spiking that ball for a touchdown. Even more so, a field goal!"

(A lot of boos came from the Indian crowd as soccer is very popular there as Logan rolled his eyes and Fred talked down the booers.)

"Are we lyin', y'all?" Cordin asked as Logan put the mic up to his mouth again.

"You people boo, because you aren't us. You play cricket. Who the hell plays that sport?" Logan asked as more boos piled on.

"What even is that sport?" Chase asked.

"I literally had to Google this. Cricket is a sport that is basically baseball, but the players just run back and forth when they hit the ball. It's the most boring sport I've ever sat through," Logan replied.

"I even heard that this country helped make tag an official sport," Louis interjected.

"You kidding me? Tag? Wow, that was my favorite game….in the fourth grade. So, that tells me that really isn't a favorable achievement, but more so confirms you people are overglorified children," Logan insulted the crowd as they booed him massively. "Ya know, football is our tagging sport. It's just you get knocked down into the dirt and we've done that plenty of times."

"Come on, people. Let's put on a cheerful tune!" Becky called out trying to pep the crowd up.

"It's no use, babe. These people don't know real sports," Louis retorted to his girlfriend and the cheerleader had to frown as the Bulls made it ringside.

"I hope our first impression didn't piss you all off that much. We got some jokesters to deal with as a result of what happened in Italy so we'll hopefully entertain you people enough when we win," Logan stated.

(The members either got on the apron or went up the steel steps through the ropes as the crowd booed them heavily. Logan smirked and chuckled to himself as he raised the mic again.)

"You got to keep it down, guys. It's hard to wrestle when your hot ass breath is polluting the air. Much like your entire country," Logan added as the boos went up in volume.

("I Am The Walrus" by The Beatles)

(A big cheer resonated through the crowd as seven more people came out as George Fortunato led the charge wearing a black top hat with a red band wrapped around attached with a white bunny pin, purple suspenders, black tights, and black boots. Chelsea Forster joined her boyfriend wearing her March Hare outfit covering her entire body in the Union Jack flag. The only difference to her original outfit is the Union Jack sleeves covering her arms and biceps added for extra patriotism. Their five friends were Ryan "Fireball" Brown, Shane Alanatt, Jonathan Steele, Preston Starr, and "Senator" Caleb Collins. Ryan wears a sleeveless grey "Mad Tea Party" shirt, dark green trunks, and dark green boots with white laces. Shane wore a red ball cap hat backwards, black denim ripped jeans with gold pockets with multiple red rivets going down the legs, and black converse sneakers with white soles. Jonathan wore a black t-shirt that said "My Own Wings" in white lettering with wings outstretching from the words, black tights with the letter "P" on the legs with white wings stretching from it, and white boots. Preston wore a Shazam-inspired outfit with a red bodysuit with the lightning bolt in the center and red and white sneakers. Finally, Caleb wore black slacks and maroon boots with black laces. George held onto his cane raising it as he held hands with Chelsea firing off confetti in the shape of a bunny.)

"The Cockney Flame" George Fortunato, "The March Hare" Chelsea Forster, Ryan "Fireball" Brown, Shane Alanatt, "The Pegasus" Jonathan Steele, Preston Starr, and "Senator" Caleb Collins

"The following contest is a 14-person mixed tag team match set for one-fall! Introducing first, the team of Mad Tea Party, "The Pegasus" Jonathan Steele, Preston Starr, Shane Alanatt, and "Senator" Caleb Collins!" Tony announced. "And their opponents, in the ring right now, The Varsity Bulls!"

"Well, this match came as a result of what happened back in Italy where The Varsity Bulls attacked George, Chelsea, and Caleb ending their pre-show match at Destiny of Milan. Caleb reportedly went to Hank in order to schedule this match," Russ stated.

"I told Caleb and George to find their partners and it would happen right here. This is our main event of the pre-show," Hank added.

(George saw a lovely Indian girl reaching out for a high five as he dug up in his top hat presenting a red rose for her and Chelsea even handed over her white top hat to put on the little girl's head as she was so happy giving George a big hug and high-fived Chelsea. The other wrestlers started hyping the crowd up and slapping fives as the Bulls regrouped with each other. Chelsea glared at them shouting "Ye gonna pay fer talkin' ye shit, bastards!" as George took the flag off her back showing it to the crowd for big cheers as he folded it up ringside. The assigned referee is Tyrone Regis.)

Chelsea didn't wait as she slides in as Becky tried stopping her only to get a kick in the gut and a Stunner off the bat! The males came in with George brawling with Logan, Jonathan with Chase, Preston on Fred, Shane getting into it with Cordin, Ryan against Stephen, and Caleb brawling with Louis. Logan shoved George outside the ring near the announce tables as Jonathan sends Chase over near the ramp. Preston clotheslines Fred over to the south side calling on Jonathan to help him out. Shane hit a Dropkick to Cordin taking him down as Caleb hit a Corner Clothesline to Louis before sending him out north. The referee wanted order as Shane offered to start against Cordin while Chelsea rolled Becky out south. Caleb got on the apron as Ryan tumbled outside with Stephen managing to fend him off. George got launched into the barricade as Logan punched his head multiple times as Jonathan ran barreling himself and Logan into the timekeeper's area as the workers scattered. The referee called for the bell to ring to start the match and it did.

"Chaos to start us off here and Shane will start against Cordin of the Bulls. The single guy who loves it became a good friend of George's after their match at British Invasion," Russ stated.

Shane threw out his cap before locking up with Cordin and whipping him west before trying for a High Knee Strike, but Cordin hung onto the ropes heading outside. The crowd booed him as he reunited with Fred and Stephen as Ryan rolls into the ring and Preston joins Shane in the middle as the three started jumping in place before Shane held up four fingers on his right hand screaming "SINGLE LIFE 4 LIFE!" as all three men ran east before running to hit three Suicide Dives on all three members getting a big pop! They all went up the ramp some as the referee called for everyone to get back in starting to count them out. Shane got to his feet getting Cordin up and sending him inside the ring before rolling in as he hit a Bicycle Knee Strike as Cordin went down on his back! Cordin held his face as Shane kicked the stomach as everyone started getting on the apron as the crowd was getting excited seeing the action thus far!

"Crazy action as Ryan, Preston, and Shane hit it to the outside and the Bulls are having trouble getting it up out of the starting gate," Russ stated.

Shane hit the back of his opponent before he went to tag in Ryan as Ryan waited for Cordin to get up jumping on the top rope hitting a Springboard Dropkick taking down Cordin. Logan scolded Cordin and held out his hand for the tag as Ryan looked at Logan sticking his tongue out before clapping his hands three times to hit a Standing Moonsault on Cordin for a big pop. Ryan hooked both legs, but Cordin powered out before 1 trying to reach for his teammates. Ryan grabbed the legs, but Fred comes in punching Ryan in the head and the referee got between them to separate them. Cordin tagged in Chase as Chase gets in trying for a Lariat, but Ryan front flipped forward and tried for a Spin Kick, but Chase caught the leg as Fred ran west hitting a Running Clothesline as Fred slipped out taunting the crowd! Chase snickered as he grabbed Ryan up to his knees hitting a Hip Attack and then he fell on top of Ryan relaxing on his body.

"1…2…" The ref counted, but Ryan got the shoulder up after 2!

Chase then dragged Ryan into his team's corner sitting as he tagged Fred in as the Bulls yelled "BULL STAMPEDE!" with cheers and hollers as Fred took his turn kicking at Ryan before tagging in Louis who took his turn and tagged in Stephen as all members were tagged in getting kicks on the Mexican wrestler. Logan tagged Chase back in as Chase used the top rope to lift himself hitting a Slingshot Corner Basement Dropkick as Ryan held his chest in pain. George and Chelsea hyped the crowd up for their teammate as Chase blew a raspberry at them grabbing Ryan's legs to bring him out to the middle.

"A Bull Stampede falling among Ryan as he lost serious momentum there," Greg observed.

Ryan rolled around as Chase kicked the back of his opponent before tagging in Stephen as Stephen comes in grabbing Ryan to his feet. He whipped Ryan east as Logan grabbed the arms, but had to separate as the referee scolded him. Stephen saw the referee distracted as he low blows Ryan to big boos before Stephen hits a Snap DDT! Ryan held his head in pain and Stephen gets him up presenting him to his squad. He yells "DID HE MAKE THE TEAM?!" to which the Bulls yelled back "NO!" before Stephen bends Ryan back as he hits the Husky Buster (Double Cross) on Ryan before hooking both legs!

"1…2…" The ref counted as Ryan had to kick out at 2.6!

Stephen got pushed off as he snickered smacking the head of Ryan as he gets him up, but Ryan backed off hitting a Running Elbow Smash taking down Stephen! Ryan then made a hot tag to Caleb as Caleb gets in to big cheers hitting a Superkick right on Stephen's chin as the footballer goes down. Caleb looked at the crowd with a big grin before getting Stephen up kneeing the gut multiple times as the crowd chanted "OOH! OOH! OOH! OOH! OOH!" at each one. Caleb whipped him into his team's corner tagging Jonathan in as Jonathan started hitting multiple chops as Stephen held his chest. He tagged Preston in as Preston hit his own chops yelling "SHAZAM!" after each one.

"Shazam chops right to Stephen's chest. Preston promoting "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" that comes out in theaters in five days!" Greg exclaimed.

Preston hits a kick to the gut as George tags his back coming in before he brings Stephen out and he backs up hitting a Running Shotgun Dropkick into the corner before hitting a Snapmare on Stephen completing the Jackrabbit Jackhammer adopted from his girlfriend as Chelsea jumped up and down. George then climbed his corner as he tagged Ryan back in as George hit a Five-Star Frog Splash right on Stephen's stomach! Ryan climbed the corner as he turned around balancing as he tried hitting a Phoenix Splash on Stephen connecting to big cheers as Ryan flips on his back, but Logan drags Ryan out onto the floor! Logan gets in as George batters his back, but Logan pushes George back hitting a Discus Clothesline right across the throat. The referee argued with Logan as he argued back and he turned to the others ordering them in! The Bulls disobeyed the referee as they ran to the other side of the ring attacking the babyfaces as the referee threw out the match DQing the Bulls!

"Ladies and gentlemen, the referee has ordered a disqualification on The Varsity Bulls for disobeying his orders and not obeying tag team rules! Your winners are George Fortunato, Chelsea Forster, Shane Alanatt, Jonathan Steele, Preston Starr, "Senator" Caleb Collins, and Ryan "Fireball" Brown!" Tony announced, but the chaos was already consuming the whole ring as the babyfaces were either dragged into the ring or tossed outside.

(Logan would knee George in the gut hitting various hard elbows up in the upper right corner as the college athlete grabbed the peacock's head hitting a brutal Headbutt. George sank in the corner as the Bulls started bringing up Ryan and Chelsea wanted to enter, but she was severely outnumbered and couldn't afford an injury right now so she was helpless. Jonathan and Preston were crawling on the floor selling the attacks to their stomachs as Caleb got on the apron, but Cordin and Fred just knocked him off again as they patrolled the ring. George was kicked down in the corner by Logan and Ryan was starting to be circled like sharks as the crowd held their breath.)

"You got to be kidding me! Logan just threw this match out and now, he's punking Mad Tea Party like he did in Milan," Russ complained.

"Is there anything to stop the madness?!" Greg exclaimed.

("Soldiers" by Otherwise)

(The crowd raised their attention to the new entrance video which showed an American bald eagle soaring through the air before it showed a compilation of challenges performed by Big Brother and The Amazing Race contestant Cody Nickson as the crowd came alive with big cheers. The black-haired soldier came out of the curtain with a frown as he wore a U.S. Marines hat, a blue and white buttoned shirt, dark blue jeans with a black belt, and brown combat boots as he stared down the Varsity Bulls in the ring. The footballers dropped Ryan as they all turned towards Cody.)

"Cody Nickson?! What's he doing here?!" Russ screamed.

"I didn't know he was coming to professional wrestling. There was rumblings about a new career choice for him and he surely chose an intense one," Greg added.

"This is a family man and let me tell you that he has got the sense of a soldier. No man left behind," Hank stated.

"But how is he going to tackle down six guys in that ring all at once?" Dan asked as he stood up to see the new arrival.

(Cody heard the cheers and chants of "THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME! THIS IS AWESOME!" rally around the stadium as the reality star certainly had a large amount of fans here from his competition days. The former soldier walked down the steps and the Bulls all got huddled down waiting for him to strike. Cody unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his sleeves before rolling his shoulders. However, Jonathan, Shane, and Preston started a brawl inside the ring as they started taking it to the Bulls. Cody saw his cue taking off his hat and making a beeline for the ring as he slid in lifting Cordin for a Spinebuster. Cody screamed before punching Fred down and then hitting a Lariat on Chase as the Bulls started to scatter out of the ring. The crowd cheered loudly as Cody climbed the lower left corner pointing at the heels and trash talking.)

"Cody's here and he made his statement. It really makes me wonder what he has in store for WFPW. This year gets bigger and bigger for us!" Russ cheered.

"That's all the time we have for the pre-show. Craziness starting to settle in. It's time for Sands of Time next on pay-per-view!" Hank exclaimed.

(Cody got down checking on everyone as George and Ryan were helped up as Cody saw the Bulls scurrying back up the ramp and Logan yelled promising revenge as Cody just told him to bring it with his hands. The screen showed the WFPW logo before going to pitch black.)
