Repression
Live from American Airlines Arena
Dallas, Texas

A bright sunny field is the opening scene of the night. The air is still and calm when a soft rumbling sound is heard in the background when suddenly a gigantic boulder comes crashing down out of the sky. As the boulder hits, the grass turns to dirt and the blue sky turns to black. A moment later a bolt of lightning hits the rock, the Hard Rock Wrestling logo is inscribed into the rock. “Analog” by Strung Out begins to play as the camera begins to zoom into the logo. The song plays as vignettes of the superstars come across the screen. There are clips of Abyss roaring and riping the chains off of his arms, Tazz pulling the towel off his head and folding his arms, Randy Orton checking out his body, The Undertaker flipping his hair back then rolling his eyes back into his head. The video also shows Rhyno goring someone through a table, Shawn Michaels giving someone a super kick, Sandman standing in the middle of the crowd chanting, drinking beer, and interacting with the fans. The final clip shows Triple H spitting water into the camera blackening the image turning the focus to the arena where pyro explodes in every direction. Fireworks go off from the stage in all directions as the fans cheer wildly for the newest wrestling organization. The music continues playing as the fireworks come to an end when suddenly the HRW owner, Gorilla Monsoon, walks out from behind the curtain to an enormous cheer from the crowd. As Monsoon walks down the ramp he slaps hands with fans that lean over the guardrail to get a hand on the owner. Monsoon walks into the ring and signals for a microphone from the ringside assistant.

Monsoon welcomes everyone to the very first edition of Hard Rock Wrestling. He mentions how he is glad to be here in Dallas, Texas at the American Airlines Arena. Monsoon introduces Jimmy Hart and Mene Gene Okerlund as the commentating team at ringside. Monsoon also introduces Michael Buffer as the ring announcer.

Once those 3 men made their way down to the ring and took their respected places at ringside, Monsoon announced the title situation. He said that there will be a 16 man tournament for the World Heavyweight Title. Gorilla explains that it will consist of the 10 men in the Heavyweight division and 6 men of the International division. 6 men from the International division will be picked at random and be placed in teams of 2 facing off against some of the best teams HRW has to offer. The winners of the tag matches will be entered into the World Title tournament. Monsoon lets the crowd know that 2 of the tournament matches will take place tonight as well as a 4 man battle royal for the International title. The crowd cheers as Monsoon heads to the back.

In the LWO locker room, Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, and Homicide discuss who will face Rhyno and Sandman in the first tag match for the World Title tournament. They agree that Mysterio should be one as his speed will be valuable against the slower Rhino and Sandman. Guerrero and Homicide argue back and forth on who his partner should be. Mysterio pipes in saying that he wants Homicide because his hardcore style will match up with Rhyno and Sandman. Both men walk out of the locker room as Eddie sits down in a metal folding chair shaking his head.



Rey Mysterios’ music hits as Mysterio comes leaping out from under the stage and seconds later, Homicide comes walking out from behind the curtain weilding a steel chair. Both men aren’t welcomed by the fans and as two of the three LWO members make their way down to the ring they are booed and yelled at by numerous fans. Mysterios leaps up onto the apron and over the top rope as Homicide slides in under the bottom rope. Both men go to opposite corners of the ring where they stand on the second rope; Mysterio makes the sign of the cross on his body while Homicide yells back at the fans pointing to the steel chair in his hand. The arena is silent before the opening sounds of Enter Sandman is heard. Minutes later the Sandman comes walking out through a random spot in the crowd. He opens up a beer and begins to chug some before pouring the rest in his mouth then spitting it over the audience. With his trademark kendo stick in hand, Sandman makes his way down to the ring. As he reaches the barrier between ringside and the crowd, he stands on top putting his kendo stick in the air as the fans cheer wildly for one of the most infamous superstars in the business. Sandman enters the ring and begins to taunt the LWO with his kendo stick when suddenly Rhyno’s music blasts throughout the arena and “The Gore Machine” Rhyno comes running out from behind the curtain making a b-line right to the ring. Rhyno dives under the bottom rope and heads straight for Mysterio and hits him with a forearm to the head knocking Mysterio into the corner. The bell sounds as all hell breaks loose.

All four men begin to brawl. Rhyno and Mysterio exchange blows inside the ring while Sandman and Homicide are at each other’s throat on the outside. Homicide is about to smash the steel chair over the head of Sandman but instead recieves a kendo stick to the midsection from Sandman. Sandman drags Homicide over to the steel steps where he grabs Homicide’s head and smashes his face against the relentless steel steps. Homicide stumbles around while Sandman gets onto the apron and leaps off attempting to connect the kendo stick with the back of Homicide, but Homicide quickly regains balance and fiercly swings the steel chair making a crushing sound against the head of Sandman. Sandman hits the floor like a ton of bricks while Homicide slides into the ring to help out his partner Rey Mysterio who has been backed into a corner and is receiving no mercy from Rhyno. With Mysterio down in the corner, Rhyno continues the relentless assault with numerous kicks to the face. Homicide is about to send that steel chair to the back of Rhyno but the ref pulls the chair out of Homicide’s hands giving the Gore Machine more time on offense against Rey Mysterio. The ref makes Homicide get to his corner; Rhyno takes Mysterio by the mask and picks him up out of the corner and drags him to the center of the ring. Rhyno whips Mysterio against the ropes where Rhyno delivers a devistating spine buster. At this time, Sandman is now in the corner awaiting a tag from Rhyno. Rhyno takes Rey by the feet and drags him over to Sandman where Rhyno makes the tag. The Gore Machine holds the arms of Rey Mysterio while Sandman connects with a kick to the midsection. Sandman puts Rey’s head under his armpit and walks out to the center of the ring where Sandman hits a quick snap suplex. Over in the LWO corner Homicide is banging on the turnbuckle for Mysterio to come and make the tag. Sandman stands and watches Mysterio try to attempt to crawl over to his corner and inches before he is about to make the tag, Sandman pulls Mysterio’s foot bringing him back to the center of the ring. Sandman stomps a mudhole in the back of Rey Mysterio before going to make the tag to Rhyno. Rhyno enters the ring and sets Mysterio up for a double powerbomb, but is reversed into a hurricanranna by Mysterio. With a sudden burst of energy, Rey dives over to his corner making the tag to Homicide. Homicide stalks Rhyno as he is getting up and as Rhyno turns around he is hit with a Yakuza Kick. Rhyno drops to the mat but is up relatively quickly but is immeditaly dropped back down with a T-bone suplex. Rhyno grabs hold of the middle turnbuckle and pulls himself to his feet, but as he is about to fully stand Homicide runs hits a big splash squishing Rhyno between him and the turnbuckle. As Rhyno stumbles back Homicide grabs the tights and rolls Rhyno into a school boy pin…

Sandman manages to get across the ring and stop the count. Sandman begins to stomp the back of the head of Homicide. Sandman lifts Homicide half way up before driving his head back into the mat with a DDT. Sandman heads back to his corner while Homicide and Rhyno lay on the mat trying to regain their stamina. Homicide is the first to move and crawls over to make the tag to Rey Mysterio and then rolls to the outside of the ring. The ball of fire known as Rey Mysterio hops into the ring and bounces off the ropes before hitting a flipping leg drop onto the neck of Rhyno. With Homicide laying on the floor, it’s a 2-on-1 with a Sandman just waiting to be tagged in. Mysterio looks over in Sandman’s direction and signaling for him to come into the ring, calling him out. Sandman comes through the ropes and begins to trade blows with Rey Mysterio. Sandman whips Mysterio against the ropes, on the rebound Mysterio leaps up onto Sandman’s shoulders giving him a hurricanrana to the outside right next to Homicide. Sandman and Homicide continue where they left off beating the living hell out of one another. Mysterio looks behind him and sees Rhyno trying to get to his feet using the ropes, Rhyno’s head is right between the middle rope and the top rope in perfect position for the 619. Mysterio bounces off the ropes and sprints across the ring connecting with the 619 to an unsuspecting Rhyno. Rhyno rolls backwards holding his face his pain, Mysterio calls for the West Coast Pop. As Rhyno turns around Mysterio leaps off the ropes attempting the West Coast Pop but as he is about to land, Rhyno charges up and sends Mysterio flying to the mat with a devistating gore. Mysterio lays lifeless on the mat while Rhyno crawls over to make the cover…

After the match Rhyno celebrates his entry into the World Title tournament. Sandman enters the ring as Rhyno is holding his hands up; when Rhyno hops down from the ropes he is immeditaly met with a kendo stick to the head. The crowd sits silent unaware of why Sandman just hit Rhyno with the kendo stick.

End Show

Well thats my first show, took a little longer than expected. I said I'll try and get a show up every week but I'm not sure how thats going to work out cause it took a week to write this. Anyway, things should pick up once the tournament is over and I hope you all enjoy and I will definitely be getting around to reading the rest of your feds. Thanks!

[therealdealbookr]

I'll get to reading it after I've finished J's RMV, looks great!

[goatlord]

AWESOME show! Great main event. It's not very often you see two great big men square off. Unusual choice of making Benoit a heel though, could be interesting. The Orton/Masters team was pretty original. Kurt teaming with Razor was unusual but it worked. Whole show was well written, pretty clear that you put a lot of effort into it.

[ICW]

Excellent show. Graphics were awesome and your detail in you matches were great. The whole event was interesting. The first match is interesting. The LWO is nice. Eddie Guerrero, Rey Mysterio, and Homicide should make for a good team, although I think Eddie may break away from the group in a matter of time.

The Battle Royal was awesome. Benoit, Hardy, Sabin, and Petey Williams are all great. This match was great. Nothing more to say about it. Glad Chris Benoit won the International Championship.

The Legion of Doom vs. Razor Ramom and Kurt Angle was another great match. The unfamilar man was Carlito.

Rob Van Dam and Sabu vs. Randy Orton and Chris Masters was great. Masters and Orton as a tag team is very orignal and interesting. Glad to see Sabu and Rob Van Dam pick up the win. The segment with Chris Sabin barging into Chris Benoit's locker room is great. Next weeks match should be great.

Tazz vs. Kevin Nash was a odd match. Small man vs. Big Man. Tazz is still a tuff bastard and proved it in the match. Glad to see Tazz choke out Big Daddy Cool. The main event match up should be great. Can't wait for it.

The main even was excellent. Abyss vs. Kane was great. I really thought Kane would win but nice surprise that Abyss picks up the win. The ending was great, leaving us guessing who this guy was. Him taking The World Title really wants me to see who he is.

Great show.

[therealdealbookr]

Don't give yourself a time limit dude! Well that was a great show to start a fed dude! I love how it's some of the older guys and then some of the newer guys. I loved the RVD and Sabu match. Very impressive detail and every match was entertaining. Now that was a great main event, it had me standing in some parts...Great job, can't wait till the next show!

[ajf900]

Great show from top to bottom. Amazing detaials too. Really enjoyed Abyss/Kane and Razor/Angle make a great tag team. Please keep up the good work.
