WFPW GOLD RUSH 2023 KICKOFF PRE-SHOW
Venue: Scotiabank Arena
Date: July 30th, 2023
State/City: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
(The small guitar strum of the opening theme named "Crown" by NEFFEX started playing as the scene started showing a brown room with the camera circling around the barren encasement. Gold coins started falling into place and started building up into a large pile as each coin made small clinking noises when they landed. Gold bars started falling on top of the pile stacking atop one another. The letters started falling into place to start spelling out "GOLD RUSH" as the WFPW logo started fading in on top of the words as crowd cheering could be heard with the scene fading to inside the Scotiabank Arena located in Toronto. A drone shot of the arena is shown with 18,556 fans in attendance for the event tonight as the cameras ringside started shooting down on everyone gathering footage. The fans were cheering loudly and clapping as the pre-show of WFPW's first true big event was about to kick off. The crowd seating had two stories to it all around the arena with the third floor reserved for skyboxes as various people could be seen atop. There is Harmonia Edelstein and Molly Forster of STARSTRUCK, Ken Anderson and Eric Bischoff of WARFARE, LAW General Manager and CEO Dan DeFranco, Jeff Jarrett, Leader of the WFPW Creative Team Mike Swartz, Cynara Morgan and her daughter, Mina, and a male bodyguard, MLW Founder Court Bauer, Josef Samuel, and Aaliyah Blackwell.)
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to WFPW's first major show! This is Gold Rush where the only matches that matter are for the titles! However, we can't have this event without the noble commentators that will be the voices of both brands once the regular schedule commences. Let us give them a warm welcome as they will provide those watching at home with their insight!" Tony Chimel announced as he wore a normal black suit, purple tie, white dress shirt, black slacks, and black dress shoes.
WFPW Announcer
Tony Chimel ( TheTonyChimel)
(The crowd were being ecstatic as some fans were starting to hold up signs that they customized before heading to this event. The stage area is a bunch of yellow LED rectangular lights pointing at a large regular titantron displaying the show logo along with a wavy minitron also displaying the show logo. There is a gap hiding the black curtain where wrestlers will come through and two larger black curtains were hung up to surround the backstage area as the normal heightened black stage is there along with a silver ramp elevated down to the ring. Ringside had the ring with three pairs of yellow ropes and the black turnbuckle pads were just a pitch black color with no logos. The black apron coverings surrounded underneath the ring as the show logo (north and south) and the WFPW logo (west and east) were present on them. There were three announce tables ringside with one for STARSTRUCK commentators, one for WARFARE commentators, and one for the Spanish commentators. The same black barricade surrounded the whole ringside area and up the ramp.

Entrance Video: Show Logos
(The crowd heard the show theme go off to start introducing the commentary teams as a overweight Hispanic came out with a grey suit blazer, dark red tie, white dress shirt, grey slacks, and white dress shoes getting a decent reaction. Following him out is a famous Hispanic man with slick black hair and a black mustache wearing glasses, a buttoned up black shirt, blue jeans, and white Nike sneakers with black laces. The second man is holding some notes as he and his partner come down the ramp waving to the crowd.)
"Introducing the Spanish commentary team for the evening, Mario Gonzalez and Hector Guerrero!" Tony announced.
(A big cheer came for Hector mainly because of his last name as he made sure to head right to shake some hands as Mario went to the left side of the ring shaking hands with the fans.)
("Overkill" by Motörhead)
Entrance Video: Show logo for STARSTRUCK as it is bold white lettering with three blue stars embedded on top and to the sides.
(The crowd cheered for Motörhead as Russ Markley came out to a nice pop wearing a black tuxedo and bringing his laptop with him. Greg came out next waving wearing a white long-sleeved cotton shirt with a black circle in the middle and "GREG, JUSTICE IS SERVED!" in bold black all around the circle. Greg also wore black jeans and brown hiking boots coming down the ramp. Jasmynn Relect wore a yellow blouse and black dress shoes as the elderly African-American woman waved to the crowd coming down with her notes.)
"Introducing the commentary team for Monday Night STARSTRUCK, the team of Russ Markley, Greg Justice, and Jasmynn Relect!" Tony announced.
(Russ shook some hands down the ramp and went over to the other side of the ramp slapping some fives as he came ringside. Greg shook some hands in the left side and Jasmynn slowly walked down the ramp waving to the crowd careful not to strain herself as she stacked her notes against herself.)
("Throne" by Bring Me The Horizon)
Entrance Video: Show logo for WARFARE as it is bold white lettering with "WARFARE" covered in a camo green safety net. A tank rolled on top and occasionally shot off different shots with grey fighter jets occasionally blazing across the sky.
(Josh Matthews came out with a beaming smile as he outstretched his hands walking to the right side of the stage waving to the fans wearing a black blazer, white dress shirt, yellow, white polka dot tie, black slacks, and black dress shoes. He came back over as a big pop came for Mauro Ranallo as the home country talker raised both his fists waving with his right hand. Mauro regrouped with Josh as both men walked down the ramp with Mauro wearing glasses, grey suit blazer, dark purple tie, purple dress shirt, black slacks, black dress shoes. They both waved at the crowd as both men talked with each other inaudibly occasionally glancing at the crowd with smiles.)
"And introducing the commentary team for Thursday Night WARFARE, the team of Mauro Ranallo and Josh Matthews!" Tony announced.
(All commentators started putting on their headsets to doing sound checks to make sure they were good to go before Russ would take the lead in welcoming everyone.)
"Welcome everyone to the most important pay-per-view show for WFPW yet! We are here in the Scotiabank Arena located in beautiful Toronto, Ontario, Canada! We are here to finally crown the champions of each of our brands and finally, after six months in the making, we will have answers as to who will lead the Frontier on the front lines," Russ stated as he stood up and adjusted his pants.

Russ Markley ( foureyeswonder), Greg Justice ( InGregWeTrust), and Jasmynn Relect ( JasCommunication)
"We are in for an action-packed night! That will come later as we have two matches right here on YouTube that you all get to see for free. We got to warm up like anyone else," Greg added with a smile.
"That's right, Greg. A good spicy Fatal 4 Way Match planned to crown our first STARSTRUCK World Television Champion. I'm pretty excited for that mayhem," Jasmynn added with a chuckle.
"Let's not forget to our right, we have the commentators of Thursday Night WARFARE and they have their own match ready for the kickoff pre-show!" Russ exclaimed.
WARFARE Commentators
Josh Matthews ( realjoshmatthews) and Mauro Ranallo ( MauroRanalloInc)
"Thanks, Russ! Welcome once more to WFPW Gold Rush, the pay-per-view of champions for the company. I'm Josh Matthews alongside Canadian homeboy Mauro Ranallo and we do have our own match to contest on the pre-show," Josh announced.
"It's going to be quite the challenge as Giradi Aggro takes on the bodacious and impressive Fallah Bahh. Giradi hopefully knows that Fallah weighs more and is stronger than him possibly. I'll be honest…the chances are slim on this one," Mauro stated.
"That's correct, partner. I know about Fallah back in my TNA days and the guy is a moving freight train if you aren't careful about him. Not to mention, he won't be easy to lift or get down on the ground so Giradi may just have his word cut out for him," Josh added.
"Let's pass this over to our Spanish commentators with Mario Gonzalez taking the lead and Héctor Guerrero providing color commentary," Mauro shifted as he clapped for his comrades.
WFPW Spanish Commentators
Mario Gonzalez ( MarioGonzalez) and Hector Guerrero ( hectorgro)
"Gracias! ¡Gracias! Es muy bueno estar aquí en uno de los eventos más importantes para la empresa. Héctor y yo estamos contentos de estar aquí y estamos seguros de que veremos mucha, mucha acción genial para dejarnos boquiabiertos. ¡Va a ser una experiencia espléndida para todos nosotros!" Mario exclaimed as he displayed his excitement in his hands.
"¡Esta será una noche gloriosa! Ya lo sé, compañero. Estamos listos para empezar," Hector added as he looked forward.
"Let's get set to start the evening off hot with the WARFARE United States Championship on the line. Let's give the attention to Tony!" Josh exclaimed as he played with a pen.
("BAHH!" by Unknown)
"The following contest is set for one-fall and it is for the WARFARE United States Championship! Introducing first, from Bloomfield, New Jersey, weighing 425 lbs., The Killer Panda, Fallah Bahh!" Tony announced.
(The crowd went into a huge pop for the New Jersey native as he came out with long black hair and tanned skin with a wide body. He wore a long blue robe with a white trim as well as a red and blue sumo outfit with his name in bold white lettering with an orange trim and a ferocious panda protruding from the middle of the words. Fallah's bare feet showed with white tape wrapped around the middle as he adjusted his robe and outstretched his arms hitting his head every time "BAHH!" uttered in his music.)
Entrance Video: A bright blue background with "BAHH!" showing up in bold white lettering and then showing his name and the panda symbol during instrumental beats.
The Killer Panda
Fallah Bahh ( FALLAH1)
"Well, look at the sheer size of this guy. He's got much muscle behind that belly fat and he has thrown many people half his size around like the merry go round," Josh stated.
"I hope Giradi doesn't need a forklift if he gets pancaked," Mauro joked.
"Fallah has a good resume for his own merits during much of time on the indies, WrestlePro, Impact, and even in Japan," Russ stated.
(Fallah slapped his belly with the crowd chanting to his theme and he points to some little kids on the right slapping their hands. He screams his last name at them as they screamed back before he smiles coming down ringside. Fallah hits his head to his music before coming up the steps and comes on the north apron and heading inside as his robe draped across the ropes. Fallah comes to the lower right corner climbing to the middle rope smacking his belly as Ken Anderson can be seen clapping up his wrestler from the skybox standing at the window.)
"THAT'S SOME DAMN SPICY SOUP!"
("Slither" by Velvet Revolver)
"From New York City, New York, weighing 226 lbs., The Spicy Soup, Giradi Aggro!" Tony announced before stepping to the east ropes.
(Giradi came out with him being revealed as African-American with short orange hair and short yellow sideburns. His tattoos revealed a Statue of Liberty on his right bicep with his daughter's birth date (02/22/2017) going down his right arm in black writing. Giradi wore white trunks with his name along the back in gold cursive writing with flames stenciled on the back, a white leather jacket, white knee and elbow pads with flames on them, red wrestling boots with black laces and white sides, white tape wrapped on his left hand, a pink pearl necklace, and white elastic wristbands. Giradi clapped his hands and and raised a right fist in the air before coming down the ramp.)
Entrance Video: The words "That's some damn spicy soup!" in dark yellow font is shown once a New York style voice says it then his theme song plays as it shows Giradi performing his finisher Soup Du Jour on to an opponent. It then shows a blip view of night time of downtown New York City and shows Giradi dumping containers of soup on a manager for interfering in his matches. They show an animated Girardi performing his other finisher Deep in the Soup through a pool of soup causing it to splash as the background brightens orange before it shows more indie matches of his then goes on a loop.
The Spicy Soup
Giradi Aggro ( SpicySoup)
"This man right here is a very determined one. His father runs a soup kitchen for those that truly need a meal and he wants to make sure he gets a victory to represent them all tonight," Mauro stated.
"Giradi also has a 6-year old daughter waiting back home for him and you know he wants to bring that title home so he can make her proud," Russ added.
"Very determined is something he'll need to be going against this brick house known as Fallah Bahh," Jasmynn explained.
(Giradi comes down the ramp hyping up the crowd as Fallah is shown for a brief moment taking off his large robe. The camera cuts back to Giradi showing off his daughter's birth date kissing it before heading to the ring hopping on west apron stepping back raising his fist before heading inside. As the song is coming to an end, Eric Bischoff is shown wearing a grey blazer, black dress shirt, black slacks, and black dress shoes carrying the WARFARE United States Championship just under his left shoulder. The title had black padding with a red trim and the side plates had golden framing around the American Flag and the major gold centerpiece had the WFPW logo up top with stars going along with an acute triangle formation around a bald eagle over a wrestling ring and a three blue stars background behind it. "UNITED STATES" would be written on top and "CHAMPION" is written on the bottom. Eric waved at the fans cheering him on as he came ringside handing it off to Howard Crinkle, the assigned referee.)
The referee took a minute to unfold the belt and raise it up to the crowd cheering loudly and he turned around to display the title all around the arena before handing it back to Bischoff. Giradi took off his jacket and his necklace before setting them outside. The bell rings as the first title match is set underway as Fallah sticks out his left hand for a shake and Giradi accepts as this is sportsmanship on display. They would then circle the other as Fallah tried grabbing Giradi, but the New Yorker ducked away where he could before kicking the giant man and hitting axe handles on the back as Fallah went down to one knee, but as Giradi grabbed him, Fallah grabbed Giradi and slammed him into the lower left corner using his left shoulder to barge the stomach of his opponent. Fallah hit a right elbow as Giradi slumped in the corner and then he got thrown into the middle of the ring grabbing his back. Giradi rolled to the upper right corner as Fallah runs hitting a Corner Splash cementing the New Yorker into the corner like a stiff statue.
"And a splash as Giradi looks like a totem statue standing up like that," Russ observed.
Fallah stepped back with Giradi in tow before hitting him with a Bodyslam causing Giradi to spit out as Fallah followed up with an elbow drop straight to the chest. He tried pinning down Giradi.
"1…2…" The ref counted as Giradi kicked out after 2!
Fallah smirked getting up as he gets Giradi up whipping him west before trying for a Back Body Drop as Giradi flip on his feet stunning the crowd! He dropped back with a Pele Kick making Fallah stumble a little. Giradi then ducked behind him grabbing both arms and hitting a Full Nelson Slam on the canvas making it shake! The crowd cheered for the giant falling as Giradi hit ten elbow drops in a row with the crowd counting along. Giradi gets up clapping his hands as the crowd is on his side before he runs the west ropes hitting a Running Legdrop right on Fallah's head! He mounts him lifting the left leg!
"1…2…" The ref counted as Fallah kicked out after 2!
"Giradi managing to get Fallah down, but the leg drop won't get the job done here! He needs a little more firepower," Josh stated.
Girardi wiped his face getting up before getting Fallah up and hitting a Headbutt to the guy to keep him on his knees woozy. He runs the west ropes hitting a Bicycle Knee Strike to the head knocking Fallah back down as Giradi slaps the canvas getting ready for more! The crowd chanted "SPICY SOUP! SPICY SOUP! SPICY SOUP!" Giradi heard their calls as he gets Fallah back on his feet hitting multiple chops to the chest getting his opponent on the south ropes before he backed up running, but Fallah lifts Giradi over the top rope onto the south apron and hits a Clothesline taking Giradi to the floor! Giradi coughed and held his chest as Fallah heads outside before getting Giradi up sending him straight into the metal ring post as Giradi goes over to lay on the WARFARE announce table. The referee gets to a count of 4 and scolds Fallah wanting the match back in the ring. Fallah gets Giradi off the table and rolls him back in before coming in himself as he runs to hit a Body Splash on Giradi hooking both legs!
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Giradi pushed out at 2.6!
"A massive splash down on the soup chef and this isn't looking mighty tasty for Giradi. He's slowly becoming Fallah's next meal," Mauro declared.
Fallsh hits his own Headbutt on the grounded New Yorker as Fallah kicks massive stomps on his opponent's left side. Giradi rolled into the lower left corner as he got up with Fallah smacking his head and chants of "BAHH!" following him. He bends over before running hitting a Corner Clothesline on the soup chef and then a Belly-to-Belly Suplex over his body as Giradi grabbed his back in pain. Fallah gets up before setting Giradi under the upper left corner as he calls for the Bonzai Drop getting on the middle rope to balance himself, but Giradi slowly rolls away and Fallah has to get down going to get him. Giradi gets to his feet, but ducks a Lariat getting behind Fallah wrapping his arms around the waist. He tried lifting for a German Suplex, but Fallah was much too heavy and Fallah elbowed the back of Giradi's head. However, Giradi ducked a punch hitting a Dropkick into the right leg and then hit a Dropkick to the back of the big guy. He quickly secured the legs locking in the Cream of Aggro (Inverted Boston Crab)! Fallah screamed and clawed at the mat stuck in the middle as the referee got on his knees asking him how he is.
"Cream of Aggro! Smart move if Giradi wants to keep the big man grounded and going for the legs helps a lot," Russ exclaimed.
Giradi kept the hold cinched in as he rocked back and forth with Fallah's legs in his hands before he stomped on the back. Fallah grabbed his legs huffing as he steadily got up before Giradi locked the left leg into the Indian Leglock as Fallah screamed in pain. He tried keeping himself up as Giradi repeatedly stomped on the leg trying to get as much pain out of Fallah as possible. Fallah rolled out of the lock getting up shaking and his legs acting like jelly. Giradi goes to the upper right corner waiting as he ran for Fallah grabbing him to hit an impressive Deep in the Soup (Saito Suplex) straight into the middle! Fallah shook the ring as Giradi gets him back up and he hits one more Deep in the Soup! He rolls Fallah away from the east ropes and hooks both legs hopping on top!
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as Giradi screams in victory.
("Slither" by Velvet Revolver)
"Here is your winner and the inaugural WARFARE United States Champion, The Spicy Soup, Giradi Aggro!" Tony announced from outside.
An instant replay is shown of a few moments in the match like the clothesline off the apron from Fallah to Giradi, the Body Splash on Giradi, and the damage to Fallah's legs by Giradi followed by the final Deep in the Soup to secure the win.
"A great display of combining skills in order to get this match cooked. Giradi expertly going after the legs knowing that was going to be a weak point for the giant," Josh stated.
"Fallah sure played to his strength, but Giradi knew he couldn't slow down on Fallah. He needed to not give Fallah time to recover and he got himself in gear for this match," Russ added.
"Now, Giradi kept his promise and is the first champion of the night crowned!" Mauro cheered.
(Giradi gets up ecstatic as he jumps around in a circle kissing his right arm before getting it raised by the referee. Bischoff smiles handing the title to the referee before it is placed around the waist of Giradi Aggro. Giradi smacked the belt and climbed the lower right corner showing off his prize to the crowd as the referee checked on Fallah Bahh.)
INAUGURAL WARFARE UNITED STATES CHAMPION: GIRADI AGGRO
"That is how we are going to be going forward. Great action so far on the kickoff show," Greg stated.
"We're up next. The STARSTRUCK World Television Championship is up for grabs. Oscar Orelash, Adam Brooks, Seth McCree, and the newly christened Brandon Kirk all fighting against one another for this championship," Russ added.
"We know above us that Harmonia Edelstein and Molly Forster are watching intently to make sure the best person earns the right to have a spot at their table of champions. I think they expect no less from their roster," Jasmynn stated.
"Congratulations are also in order for Giradi Aggro as he will be descending towards WARFARE with that title in tow. A great honor to represent our great country. He represents the help for the helpless and he represents the need for defenders of innocence," Greg added.
"Ladies and gentlemen, our next contest is a Fatal 4 Way Match set for one-fall and it is for the STARSTRUCK World Television Championship!" Tony announced as he was already back in the ring and the bell rang to announce the next contest.
("Let's Celebrate" by Sayonara Maxwell)
(The beat kicks off as Seth hops out from the curtain throwing his hands up as the crowd give him a mild cheer. He is revealed to be a teenager with long auburn hair wearing a FNAF characters hoodie with white strings, colored tights with Bonnie's body on the left leg and Freddy's body on the right leg, and red wrestling boots with bright red laces. Seth runs down the ramp to the middle as he high-fives all the kids in the audience on both sides as he hops in place walking the rest of the way down.)
Entrance Video: The screen goes dark before the theme pops up with Toy Bonnie's eyes opening and Seth's reactions to different games from his Twitch channel are shown as most are jump scares from FNAF 4, FNAF 3, and Ultimate Custom Night along with Dead By Daylight and Dark Deception. The next scene shows the bodies of Freddy, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy as Seth's name appears on their bodies in bold white lettering as Freddy and Bonnie adjust their bow ties, Chica squawks as pizza bits fly from her mouth, and Foxy simply raises his hook with a snicker.
FNAF's Biggest Headache
Seth McCree ( SethFNAFFan0814)
"Introducing first, from The Deep Lore, weighing 190 lbs., he is FNAF's Biggest Headache, Seth McCree!" Tony announced.
"Seth McCree, a recently debuted professional wrestler from last year originally located in San Antonio, Texas. He's also a Twitch streamer that plays horror games like Five Nights at Freddy's among other titles," Russ explained.
"My daughter plays that damn game all the time. It gets so annoying!" Greg complained.
"At least he's got passion. A double career on what I admit also balances his education must be a heavy toll at his age. Especially if he just started so that equals in more training," Jasmynn added.
(Seth came ringside before stomping in place running up the steel steps as he lingers there before heading on the north apron stepping in.)
("I Got The Power (Cover" by H-Bloxx)
(Adam Brooks comes out to a bigger pop as he wore a pale white sleeveless jacket, a backwards black ball cap, white tights with his initials on the legs in grey lettering and a black trim, and black wrestling boots. He sported short spiky blonde hair as he came down the ramp trying to pump up the crowd.)
Entrance Video: The titantron shows a grey background with Adam's name in bold white lettering coming in and out along with occasional shots of his matches in America, Australia, and Japan.
Adam Brooks ( theadambrooksy)
"And introducing his opponents, first, from Melbourne, Australia, weighing 178 lbs., Adam Brooks!" Tony announced.
"Someone that doesn't stay in one place is here and his name is Adam Brooks. Best friend of his trainer and AEW wrestler, Buddy Matthews," Russ stated.
"He has traveled the world and now has secured his home in WFPW. It seems very fitting for him," Jasmynn added.
(Adam slapped some fives before rolling into the ring and going to the upper left corner putting his head to the middle pad as the camera zoomed on his determined face. Adam looked at the camera nodding and saying "Let's get to it!" before coming back up.)
("The Sound of Silence (Cover)" by Disturbed)
(The titantron started ceasing showing any logos or entrance videos and the lights dim as a lone spotlight brighten up on the stage. The steel cage hanging in the rafters shrouded in shadows until the main show is seen from a certain camera angle on the stage as Brandon Kirk walks out. Smoke starts seeping up from some machines off-screens creeping up on the stage as Brandon has short blonde hair wearing a long black trench coat with a black singlet, wide black tights, and black combat boots. He also tightened his black fingerless gloves as major boos befell him and he nodded not paying them any mind.)
Entrance Video: Black screens
Brandon Kirk ( OscarNoMore)
"From Charleston, West Virginia, weighing 278 lbs., Brandon Kirk!" Tony announced.
"The name change has now happened. He's no longer Oscar Kirk and he is now going by a different moniker altogether," Russ stated.
"Brandon believes a new rising will begin for him as he sheds the skin of his former identity. He has been posting cryptic videos on social media and even put this in his handle on X," Greg added.
(Brandon comes down ignoring the boos as he gets close to ringside before throwing off his coat and heading for the stairs as the lights dim down to pitch dark.)
("Born Warriors" by InanimateMashups)
Entrance Video: The beginning video showed Oscar wearing a grey hoodie reflecting on his time sitting on a steel chair in a black background. Montages of his matches and various wins are shown as a faded Canadian flag waves in the background. Oscar bows his head before the screen goes black and he is shown roaring to the crowd before his name appears on a red and black background as well as his nickname.
(The beat of the music was building up nicely as the crowd gave an excited pop all around the Soctiabank Arena for the arrival of their home country hero. The arena went completely dark before a streak of fire bursted into the air courtesy of Oscar Orelash, who held a hot torch in his left hand and a bottle of lantern oil in his right hand as the crowd went into a frenzy of cheers as Oscar chuckled to himself screaming a battle cry as he came down the ramp hyping up the crowd.)
The Barbadian Prince
Oscar Orelash ( BarbarianPrince)
"And introducing next, from Toronto, Ontario, Canada, weighing 225 lbs., he is the Barbarian Prince, Oscar Orelash!" Tony announced.
"Oscar is making headwaves in the wrestling world deciding a world tour of sorts was needed for himself. He's mainly been stationed in Florida back in America working with Leviathan Inc. working in their co-ed division, but you can find him spending time on the Canadian and European indie circuits. We know he spent some time in PROGRESS, ICW, The Phoenix Challenge, DEFY Wrestling, wXw, and Limitless Wrestling. He's certainly building up stock for himself here," Greg stated.
"Not to mention, signing with us has also exposed him to the world. Oscar has had plenty of experience working certain matches during the launch tour and it helps build his character up to other audiences. This match right year will be his biggest test yet and the pressure is on in his home country," Jasmynn added.
"But the support is with him as the crowd came alive for him!" Russ exclaimed.
(Oscar held the torch high as the flame glowed brightly in the arena lights as Oscar whisked over to the left side holding the torch high for everyone as some fans screamed "This is your moment! Show how Canada gets it done! It's all on you, Oscar!" as he nodded to each of them as a lump formed in his throat from nervous behavior. He came ringside as a ring attendant helped him extinguish the fire to mere ashes as he handed off the torch and oil. Oscar is shown wearing a black grizzly bear fur sleeveless jacket, black shorts, green combat boots, and black lines just under his eyes. He took off his jacket before stomping up the steps and into the ring as every wrestler got into a STARSTRUCK GM, Harmonia Edelstein, is shown pouring a glass of whiskey ready to enjoy watching who her first champion will be.)
The Vice GM, Molly Forster, receives a huge pop coming out with a title belt that will be on the line and this is the STARSTRUCK World Television Championship. It has black padding along with three silver plates on it with both side plates having gold art with gold camera symbols on them and the main plate has a blue and gold globe in the middle with two gold wrestlers going at it. Two black banners covered top and bottom with the bold gold writing of "WORLD FRONTIER" and "PRO WRESTLING" on them and "TELEVISION" and "CHAMPION" on the top and bottom of the gold. Molly blew some kisses wearing her white dress with a red star on it and white high heels as Tyrone Regis accepted the title from his boss. Molly stepped back and called an attendant for a steel chair as she would monitor the match.
"The passing of the title has arrived and the referee about to show all the men here what they are fighting for," Russ stated.
Tyrone raised the championship high as all four men nodded at what the prize would be and Tyrone turned around in a circle showing it off to the crowd before passing it out to Molly. He kept all men separated before calling for the bell as Brandon went right to Oscar kicking him down in the upper left corner as Adam and Seth started getting into a punching war with Adam kneeing Seth getting him in the upper right corner to start hitting chops. The crowd booed Brandon as Brandon gets Oscar up sending him out south before running to hit a Running Lariat on Adam and then a Corner Splash to Seth. Seth fell out north as Brandon gets Adam up punching the head and then another chop to the chest as he whipped Adam north trying for a Sidewalk Slam, but Adam flipped himself out landing behind Brandon jumping for a Standing Enzugiri making Brandon stumble. Adam gets up hitting a Dropkick getting Brandon on the east ropes as Oscar slides back in going to hit a Superkick knocking Brandon out the middle rope towards the announce tables. Adam then locked up with Oscar getting him in at tight headlock before taking vaulting him over his back locking in the headlock tightly as the crowd cheered on Oscar mostly.
"Adam and Oscar able to get Brandon outside the ring after his dominating start, but now, there is no time for allies in this match especially with that title hanging in the balance," Jasmynn observed.
Adam wrenched hard on the head as Oscar had some trouble breathing trying to roll on his sides to disrupt Adam's grasp. Seth got on the upper right corner as Adam sees him moving out of the way as Seth managed to hit a Elbow Drop on Oscar's chest to a mixed reaction. Seth got on his knees before Adam hit him with a Superkick. Seth spit out onto the east middle rope before Adam went onto the east apron running to hit a knee strike to Seth. He gets back in before running to hit a Jumping Senton Bomb on Seth before hooking both legs.
"1…2…" The ref counted as Seth powers out after 2!
Oscar sat up as Adam hit various vicious kicks to his back as he went to grab Seth whipping him to the lower left corner, but Seth vaulted over Adam before he hit a Discus Elbow Strike to hit the back of Adam's head connecting sending his opponent into the lower left corner. He grabbed Adam for a Snap German Suplex as Adam rolled grabbing his back until Brandon grabbed his body dragging him and he got in running to try for a Corner Splash, but Seth gets his knees up in Brandon's face. Seth jumps on the middle rope hitting a Tornado DDT as Brandon holds his face before Seth covers him hooking one leg.
"1…2…" The ref counted before Oscar ran to break up the count after 2!
Oscar got massive cheers for that as he stomps the back of Seth rolling him out of the way as he gets Brandon up on his feet. Oscar hits massive forearms to his opponent getting Brandon in the corner as he transitions to knees before going up to the middle rope as he points to the crowd as the cameras get a wide shot before hitting ten head shots to Brandon's head getting the crowd to chant the numbers. Oscar jumps down trying for a Belly-to-Belly Suplex, but Seth hits a Dropkick to Oscar's back which allowed Brandon to launch Oscar into the lower right corner with an Exploder Suplex! Oscar drops on his back upside down with his legs hooked on the middle rope groaning as the crowd gives a 75/25 booing reaction to Brandon, but some cheered the highlight.
"Oscar tried mounting his own lead in this match, but Seth wasn't quite down and out and that may have costed him. Brandon only suffered mild damage and thought hard on his feet," Greg stated.
Brandon hit a Clothesline taking the wind out of Seth's lungs as Adam rolled back in, but Brandon hit a Japanese Arm Drag to the Australian indie star. Brandon then hit a Flying Shoulder Tackle on Adam taking him down before dropping the elbow on his head. Brandon then picked up Adam sideways dropping his back on his knees five times. Brandon then did a Fallaway Slam into the upper left corner as Adam dropped clutching his back. Brandon then got Adam up before lifting him on the right shoulder parading him around with a smug smirk. Brandon then drops Adam's head on his right knee as the crowd winces as Brandon hooks one leg of Adam's.
"1…2…" The ref counted as Adam had to kick out at 2.6!
Brandon growled a little before getting up and grabbing Adam's hair before Seth jumps on Brandon's back hitting and punching this head getting the crowd to cheer. Seth propped himself to sit atop Brandon's shoulders hyping up the crowd trying for a Reverse Frankensteiner, but Brandon grabbed the legs and pulled Seth back up. He lifted Seth up before dropping him only to catch him again before dropping on his butt impacting Seth's head with an Inverted Cradle Piledriver! Seth dropped his legs in a spread eagle formation as Brandon hooked both legs for the pin!
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Adam broke it up after 2!
"Seth getting taken straight into the ground with that Cradle Piledriver and Adam keeping the match alive," Greg stated.
Brandon gets up annoyed before getting Adam up and bent down, but Adam tries lifting Brandon, but it was to no avail. Brandon lifts Adam high on his shoulders, but Oscar ran from the lower right corner to hit a brutal Spear as Adam came down on Brandon with a Meteora mid-air! Oscar got a good pop from the crowd as chants of "OSCAR! OSCAR! OSCAR!"'rang out throughout the crowd as Oscar got on his hands and knees before Adam got him up bringing him up in Suplex formation before dropping Oscar on his left knee for a Patella Drop Brainbuster as Oscar holds his head rolling out south. The crowd booed Adam before he looked at Brandon as Seth rolled to the west apron. Adam ran the east ropes trying for a Bicycle Knee Strike to Seth's head, but Seth pulled on the top rope and vaulted Adam over to the outside! Adam caught himself on his feet, but Seth hit a Crossbody off the apron taking down the Australian to big cheers! Seth then rolled back in before seeing Brandon get back to his feet as Seth jumped in place before running the east ropes, grabbing Brandon's head, and then hit a Running Bulldog!
"We could be in for an upset as this young man could get the job done!" Russ exclaimed.
Seth got on his knees feeling the support behind him as a small minority of "SCOTT CAWTHON!" chants rang out. Seth got up and got Brandon to his feet before locking him in the Octopus Hold Seth dubs Amalgamation as Seth hunkers his whole body on Brandon! Seth tries wrenching hard on the head and right arm of Brandon as Brandon is still standing. Oscar rolls back in before hopping on Brandon's body locking in a Bearhug/Bodyscissors combination named the Barbaric Bear Crusher! He rests his arms hanging mid-air locking the legs around Brandon's stomach. Brandon was getting disoriented as he started going down onto one knee at a time before Oscar's back laid on the canvas and Seth wrenched harder as the referee got on one knee to see the situation. However, Adam gets back in aiming his right leg before launching a Superkick right to Seth's chin as Seth rolled his eyes a little before falling on his back as Adam kicked him out north. Brandon got his bearings and started lifting Oscar up glaring him down before Adam hopped on from the side hitting Brandon with a Double Knee Facebreaker! Oscar hit his back on the canvas hard releasing himself and Brandon went on his back to major cheers!
"Facebreaker as Oscar and Seth had a double submission going to wind down the big man which was smart, but there wouldn't have been a clear winner. Now, Adam has put things in his favor once again," Jasmynn explained.
Adam gets Oscar up sending the young redhead out towards the ramp as Adam would then go on the west apron and start going up the lower left corner. He eyed up Brandon balancing himself before looking up to the upper stories and hitting his idol's finisher, the Swanton Bomb! Brandon held hit gut before Adam pinned him hopefully winning!
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Seth broke the count just before 3!
Adam was shocked as he couldn't end the match there with "HOLY SHIT!" chants ringing out as Seth grabs the Australian up before dropping down into a Neckbreaker Stunner as Adam went on his side near Brandon. He gets Adam up lifting him sideways hitting a Sidewalk Slam on Brandon before lifting Adam again and then on his shoulders hitting Sister Location (Sidewalk Slam into a Death Valley Driver)! Adam goes limp a little as Seth hooked both legs hoping to end this.
"1…2…" The ref counted as Adam kicked out at 2.6!
More "HOLY SHIT!" chants rang out for this awesome match! Brandon started coming to getting on his knees as Seth hits a Basement Dropkick to the head getting him on his side. Oscar rolled back in waiting for Seth to turn around as he grabbed the streamer hitting a Northern Lights Suplex and Seth grabbed his back rolling onto the south apron over the bottom rope. Oscar then goes to Brandon getting him up, but Brandon elbowed Oscar's gut grabbing Oscar by the throat lifting him for the Two-Handed Chokebomb! Brandon grabbed both legs hoping for the win!
"1…2…" The ref counted, but Oscar kicked out at 2.8 as he pushed out on his stomach!
"Oscar slammed and Brandon holding the legs! 1! 2! No, the dream isn't over!" Russ called.
The crowd cheered on all the competitors (still mostly for Oscar) as this was turning into a good match. Brandon got booed as he got up stumbling over to the north ropes and he smirked seeing as he had the advantage. Adam got up limping somewhat before Brandon hit him with a brutal Big Boot making Adam go down on his back. Seth rolled in as he started punching Brandon, but Brandon caught the right arm turning Seth around to hook the other one before lifting him hitting a Bubba Bomb, but he locked in a Grounded Full Nelson Lock wrenching hard on Seth as the crowd booed! Brandon sensed victory and Seth was starting to fade not able to resist the pain after the toil his body has taken. The referee stood nearby ready to call the match if needed.

The crowd went into a frenzy of cheers as William Ashworth appeared ruffling his black hair wearing a black tank top, blue denim jeans with a brown belt wrapped around, and black combat boots as Brandon let go of Seth. Will made a mad dash down the ramp quickly and rolled in as Brandon hammered on his back, but William hit a Spinebuster on Brandon!
"It's William! He and Oscar have unfinished business from Sands of Time! Will hasn't forgotten all these months!" Greg screamed.
William taunts to the crowd beating his chest and roaring as he gets his former friend up pushing him into the south ropes before fiercely grabbing the throat hard. William then put Brandon's arm over his shoulder and hooked his trousers lifting him for the Chokeslam! The crowd popped like mad people as William roared to them and got Brandon up sending him over the top south rope to the outside. He went out to deliver more punches and let the other three fight. Oscar got up seeing Seth mostly out of it trying to sit up and Adam steadily getting up in the upper left corner as he saw his chance. The crowd got behind him as he ran for Adam hitting a Corner Clothesline stunning Brooks before shoving him out west. Oscar then got behind Seth picking him up by the waist and leaning back for his Strength Check German Suplex! Seth was bridged into it as Oscar had him pinned down.
"1…2…3!" The ref counted as the crowd went ballistic as the home country boy did it!

"Here is your winner and the inaugural STARSTRUCK World Television Champion, "The Barbarian Prince" Oscar Orelash!" Tony announced.
An instant replay shows various highlights of the match as Brandon threw Oscar into the corner with an Exploder Suplex, Seth's Diving Crossbody off the apron to Adam on the outside near the ramp, the double submission spot plus the Facebreaker, Adam hitting the Swanton Bomb on Brandon and the following nearfall, Brandon hitting his Sit-Out Chokebomb on Oscar and almost winning, William making the save against Brandon and delivering the Chokeslam, and then Oscar finishing Seth off with the Strength Check German Suplex into a bridging pin for the win.
"Talk about all over the place. These men really put on a show for the crowd!" Jasmynn exclaimed.
"We all thought Brandon was the shoe in and Seth would maybe tap out, but William got there just in the nick of time before Seth possibly passed out," Greg stated.
"Congratulations are in order to Oscar Orelash as he wins his first title in his entire career. Only a year into it and he's already got an accomplishment under his belt," Russ observed.
(Oscar dropped Seth and rolled up on his knees screaming to the crowd as Molly moved out of the way as William shoved Brandon into her steel chair. Tyrone got out of the ring to break that up as Molly went up the steel steps and headed inside the ring. She smiled brightly as Oscar got up and he was handed his prize. Oscar grabbed the title trying to wipe some tears away as he went to the upper right corner raising his title proudly and placed it on his right shoulder.)

"What a way to start the crowning of our champions. Plenty in store on the main show as we have to sign off from the pre-show. Join us live on pay-per-view as we get set to take Toronto by storm next!" Russ commented.
(Oscar got down as Adam rolled in to confront him, but after a brief staredown, Oscar and Adam stuck out their hands for a friendly shake. Seth started getting up holding his back as Oscar offered a hand to help him up and Molly also lent a hand lifting him up by the arm. Seth nodded shaking hands respectively with Oscar as Adam took Oscar by one arm raising it the Canadian crowd pointing at him smiling proudly. The WFPW logo flashes on the screen before everything fades to pitch black.)
