Red and white pinspots swirl across the massive screen of the new Tron perched atop the entrance ramp of the brand new crown jewel of the wrestling world, the WGWF Arena at The Velvet Rabbit in Las Vegas. The fog machines belch thick white clouds of voluminous smoke across the metal grating of the stage looking out over the newly installed seating here in the arena, as the stage crew finishes setting up the stage for the weigh-in that will be taking place here in just a few hours to commemorate the relaunch of the WGWF..
Fans in attendance mill about between the merch vendors and the autograph lines, or waiting on concessions or the bar. New signees to the WGWF who have yet to be booked matches or developmental talent meet with fans and take pictures or sign merch as they make their way around the room. Techs double and triple check the mics and equipment, making sure the sound settings are just right and that everything is going to run smooth as silk later tonight.
Several hours later, after all of the VIP guests and fans had made it to their skyboxes or seats respectively, and the press had lined up in their asigned places, the lights of the arena dim and the audience settles in for the first weigh-ins of the relaunch. Excitement is high, and everyone in attendance is seemingly having a great time with the fanfare and glamor of the event.
Finally, as the bright white spotlights swing back and forth across the audience and the red and white pinspots dance across the walls and ceilings high above, the place comes unglued as everyone's favorite wrestling reporter Denzel Porter walks onto the stage and up to the podium that sits between two tables reserved for each competitor and their team. Denzel taps on the microphone to make sure it's working properly as a squelch rings out across the arena and everyone groans before settling down. Porter looks out across the assembled fans and smiles widely as he brings the microphone slowly to his lips.
Denzel Porter: “Welcome to the BRAND NEW WGWF Arena here in Las Vegas, Nevada!!”
Porter swings his arms wide open towards the crowd and tosses his head back to soak in the cheap local pop that ensues for several moments.
Denzel Porter: “I know you are all excited to be here for this weigh- in and so am I. When Chris Page gave me a call and asked for me to oversee this, I couldn't help but smile and gladly accept. It's not every day you get to take part in the relaunch of a company with such a rich history, or a weigh-in for that matter when it comes to pro wrestling! However, when it comes to these two taking part in it, I think it is only appropriate that they have a face to face before their match on September 26, so let's get this weigh-in rolling, shall we?”
Denzel takes the microphone off the podium as he walks his way across the front of the stage..
Denzel Porter: “Now then, let's welcome our first competitor, an original of the WGWF, and a former WGWF World Heavyweight Champion Johnathan ‘The Beast’ Cable!!!
"The lights dim around the arena and a hush descends on the crowd. The opening taps of drums and the beginning riffs of the guitar of Pop Evil's 'Trenches' can be heard filtering through the speakers. Green pin spots swirl wildly around the arena flashing across the fans as they start to cheer wildly. Smoke fills the metal ramp as the drum beat and the guitar pick up a bit.
A figure can be seen making its way out of the curtain atop the ramp, and green spotlights tear into the darkness, crisscrossing wildly in front of the curtain where we see a large silhouette of a man lit in neon green from behind the curtains.
The lyrics begin to chant the chorus and the fans really get into the bass beat of the drums and the kicking riffs of the guitar. The spotlights are waving across the stage in oops in time to the beat, and out of the darkness of the curtain, into the green spotlights waving everywhere, just as the music kicks in, Johnathan Cable springs forward onto the ramp screaming at the crowd!
Cable makes his way across the stage, his silken green boxer’s robe with black trim swishing across his massive frame with each strutting step before making it to Denzel and shaking his hand vigorously, a grin from ear to ear.
Denzel Porter: “Yes fans settle down I’m excited for this too but we have one more competitor to introduce, so without further ado let's welcome ‘The Slayer’ Bam Miller to the stage.”
Bam walks on stage wearing one of his custom Bam Miller shirts with his signature black leather jacket along with his black jeans pants and biker boots on. He carries a Miller Lite Beer in his hand and talks some trash to the fans before acknowledging Denzel with a nod and takes a seat at his table as he places his feet down and throws his feet up on the table and places a microphone in his hand.
Bam Miller: Well, let's get this fucking show going!
Denzel makes a face but the fans give Bam a mixed reaction of boos and cheers.
Bam Miller: “Yeah yeah, you all know I didn't come here to make you feel good about yourselves and please you like so many others in this industry.(He looks over in John's direction.) I came here to handle business so let's do all the extra shit underway. These people came to see us strip down to our boxers right? ( Bam holds the microphone out to the crowd and a bunch of women scream ‘Yessss’.) Well, it sounds like we’re ready for a show.”
Denzel Porter: “Well before we get you gentleman on the scale, I thought it would be nice to give you each a moment to speak your mind about this upcoming match, so since you've already done some talking Bam I’ll give the floor to John.”
Denzel motions to Cable to step up to the mic for a few words as the women boo the waiting for boxer stripping, but relent and settle down as Cable brings his mic up to speak.
John Cable: “My return to the ring a couple of months ago was a great night for Slater and I, for the Breeders out there, and for the real fans of WGWF… but mostly… It was a boon for the stockholders of the WGWF, and the real fans of wrestling in general. Coming up in just a few weeks, the best product on the market returns to the airwaves, and makes history once again. Bam and I get the honor of kicking this relaunch show off, and setting the tone of the entirety of the future of our industry, and I for one, am going to make damned sure that everyone knows where wrestling happens… the WGWF at the Rabbit Las Vegas!”
The crowd pops for the newest Rabbit entity, the new home of the WGWF.
Denzel Porter: You have to love the passion John has when he speaks about the WGWF and that should be more than enough for you to tune in and watch these two battle it out in the middle of the ring when they kick off the relaunched show for the WGWF, now any last words before you gentleman step on the scale?
Bam taps on his microphone.
Bam Miller: Yeah I just want to let John know, I've spoken with Page a lot about you and he speaks very highly of you and respects you and I just hope you are everything he says you are because when I beat you I want it to really matter, I want to make sure I'm standing across the ring from someone that's not going to be easy to be put down and yes make no mistake of how tough or how many World Titles you've held you will be put down!!!
Bam spikes his microphone onto the floor as he stands up with intensity in his eyes and then begins to remove his shirt and pants as he dresses down to nothing but his sports MMA shorts which gets him some cheers from the ladies in attendance as they eye Bam like he’s some hot merchandise. He blows a kiss to them as he steps onto the scale and flexes toward the cameras and fans before going still as they start to get his exact weight.
Denzel Porter: I now have the official weigh-in for Bam Miller as he heads into his match for the WGWF, his official weight is 225lbs!!!
Bam beats on his chest as he steps off the scale and flexes again for the world to see and then has someone toss him a Miller Lite Beer and takes a sip out of it as Denzel turns his attention to John Cable.
Cable makes his way towards the scale as he unsinches the sash at his waist, and slides out of the robe to reveal skin tight green and black MMA shorts with the New Breed Foundation logo emblazoned on the front, and “the Glorious New Breed” across the back. He steps up to the scale, and the needle flies over the 200 mark to settle at 256 pounds.
Cable raises his arms and flexes as he steps down from the scale, and an attendant slides the robe back onto his shoulders as the fans cheer wildly. Porter hands a mic back to John as he turns to face the crowd.
John Cable: “Make no mistakes… the future of wrestling is the WGWF. There will be no other show pulling ratings, or selling tickets, or running shows the caliber you are about to see… and it’s matches like this one, The Slayer and the Beast locked in one on one combat inside that very ring… that are going to set the bar for the entire industry.”
John turns towards Miller with a wry smile creeping across his face as he brings the mic back up to his lips.
John Cable: “...and Bam… I may have held titles… I may have been involved in some massive shows in my life… I may have a huge following of Breeders out there frothing at the mouth to see me climb back between those ropes… but none of those things matter to you once that ringbell dings. You and I are very similar creatures… and we both know the only thing that matters to either of us after the bell is the rush of adrenaline and the feeling of the spirit of the warrior coursing through our veins. It’s all about the chance to prove to ourselves that we still have what it takes, and trust me… I plan to be the challenge you hope for… for as long as you can last… and you can put a brick on that.”
John says as he smiles at Bam as they face off for the cameras. They stare each other down with intensity as they go nose to nose and even trash talk each other a little before security comes to separate them and Denzel Porter takes back over.
Denzel Porter: Well there you have it folks, these two are ready to go for their showdown on September 26, live from the CCPE Arena at The Velvet Rabbit right here in Las Vegas! This is going to be a CAN'T-MISS match so make sure you get your tickets and tune in for this classic!
As Denzel drops the microphone, the audience gives a loud and thunderous ovation of excitement as Bam and John stare at each other as the scene fades out.
