USA Wrestling: Characters Welcome

Awesome, I love it!

[Eric O'Mac]

"The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived" by Wheezer plays in the unnamed arena as Austin Aries, with a championship belt over his shoulder, walks out to a big reaction. The normally heel Aries seems to be getting cheers from the hardcore fan base. Aries grabs a microphone and starts to address the crowd.



Austin Aries: I cannot begin to describe the pure joy, the elation that I have being the #1 draft choice in a company run by Eric O'Mac. I had great success working in Eric's company back when he reformed the WWF in the 3rd OO draft and I'm very excited to be working for him again!

Eric won't be showing up much this year - the word is he is preparing for another safari to Africa, but he's appointed someone to run the company. But honestly - there's no way this can be messed up! You see, being in Eric's company usually means great wrestlers. Great feuds. Great story telling. And, for a guy like me....NO GLASS CEILINGS. That means that The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived, A-Double, should be fighting in main events, and wrestling for championships like the one that I'm holding on my shoulder!

In fact, I'm the #1 pick, right? There's NO GOOD REASON why I shouldn't be crowned the very first champion of this organization. I mean, if Daniel Bryan can be crowd the champion after the being the first pick, it only makes sense that I do it too! So, allow me to go ahead and lay claim to being the first and NEW World...

Mr. McMahon: NOW WAIT! WAIT JUST A DAMN MINUTE!



The crowd really boos as Mr. McMahon walks out with a microphone. Austin Aries has a "are you kidding me" look on his face as Mr. McMahon continues.

Mr. McMahon: Now you just wait a damn minute. Did Eric O'Mac - the man who claims to be the product of my offspring in some piece of crap wrestling company called the OOWF - did he put some vanilla midget named Austin Starr...

Austin Aries: It's Aries. You should probably catch up beyond 2006 in your TNA viewing.

Mr. McMahon:...regardless, did he put you in charge? I don't think he did, and that means you won't be crowning yourself champion of anything, if I have anything to say about that!

Austin Aries: Look, I put up with your bull---- during the OO3 draft. You didn't like me then because I was an independent wrestler. Well, things have changed, Vince! I'm a main eventer in one of the hottest wrestling companies in the world!

Mr. McMahon: Being a main eventer in a second rate company run by Hulk Hogan and his buddies means nothing in the real world. You see, the real world couldn't give a damn about all the stuff you mentioned earlier. Workrate? Wrestling? You see, kid, the marquee says "Entertainment." That's what the people want, damnit, and that's what I'm going to give to the people. You see, Eric put a visionary in charge. Someone who could take the entertainment world by storm, someone who could literally change the face of wrestling over night. That's right. He put ME in charge. And, you see, he was tired of representing companies that were already in place. Yeah, he won drafts during the OO3, OO5, and OO6 drafts representing the WWF, the UWC, and the NWA respectively. But last year, here at Pun's House, he tried giving the people wrestling, and the people decided that they would rather watch a main event of Ric Flair and Sabu than Kurt Angle and Brian Pillman. They didn't want wrestling! They wanted to see Ric Flair nearly die in a match with the botch machine himself! So this year, he's going another direction! You see, part of getting Mr. McMahon in the draft, means you get a contract with the USA Network. And I've decided to embrace their tagline: Characters Welcome. You are looking at a company that can be seen on the USA Network, featuring the best, most entertaining CHARACTERS in wrestling history! This is USA WRESTLING: CHARACTERS WELCOME!

Austin Aries: I don't know how much you've seen of me wrestling, but I'd like to think I'm one of the more entertaining characters available to you.

Mr. McMahon:....Eh.

Austin Aries: Eh? Are you ----ing kidding me right now? I'm THE GREATEST MAN WHO EVER LIVED! I'M A-DOUBLE!

Mr. McMahon: You're OK, kid. But you aren't great, at least not now. But speaking of greatness, let me introduce a man who can teach you a thing or two about being a great character. In fact, this man is going to represent USA Wrestling as it's inaugural champion!

Austin Aries: You don't mean...oh, God, please not who I'm thinking of.

Mr. McMahon: He is an 11 TIME WWE Champion, 2 time World Heavyweight Champion...ladies and gentlemen, the FIRST USA WRESTLING WORLD's CHAMPION......JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHN CEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNNA!

"Your Time Is Now" starts to play as the mark heavy crowd starts to boo the man playing the Super Face, John Cena. Cena walks out with a championship belt and holds it high in the air as the crowd boos the USA Wrestling World Champion.



John Cena: Austin Aries, I've got nothing but respect for you. You bust your ass, you work hard, and sometimes you can't catch a break. We have a lot in common. The difference is, when I can't catch a break...I create my own.

Austin Aries: Real easy for you to say, you've got the CEO of the company in your back pocket.

John Cena: Doesn't matter. What does matter is....THE CHAMP...IS....HERE!

Austin Aries: And in a minute, the champ is going to be lying on the ground, looking up at the ceiling.

Mr. McMahon: Gentlemen, as much as I'd love to see John Cena kick your ass, Austin, there's a silver lining of hope for you. You see, Eric told me that part of my deal here was I had to enter the top 2 picks in his company into the Super P-Cup Championship Battle Royal. That would be both, you, Austin Aries, and the USA Wrestling World Champion, John Cena. You two are going to have to work together to bring that championship to this company. So, here's the deal: if either of you win the Super P-Cup Championship...Austin Aries, you will get your shot at John Cena for the USA Wrestling World Championship! But if you can't work together to do that...then Austin, you're going to have to work your way up to earn a title shot!

Austin Aries: *sigh* That's fine. I'll do whatever I can to get a chance to prove I belong among the elite here in USA Wrestling. I'll enter this Super P-Cup. And I'll make sure we win it and bring it to this company. First, though, Mr. McMahon, I like to keep my promises!

Aries drops the mic, kicks Cena in the gut and drops him with a Brainbuster! The fans are cheering loudly! Cena is out, as Aries picks up the microphone.

Austin Aries: Remember, Mr. McMahon, above all else: I'm a globally, dominant, INDEPENDENT wrestler. My name is Austin Aries and I don't wrestle for you...I wrestle for me.

Austin Aries drops the microphone, as his music plays and Mr. McMahon has a concerned look on his face. Fade out...

NOTE: There's a little bit of backstory here from Eric's OO3 Company. Read here for more.

Personally, I plan to avoid sending anybody that's actively feuding to the PWA Cup-- keeping in mind that it's a Battle Royal, not a tournament.

Good storytelling, though. Lots of directions you can go from here....

Like you, I also enjoy feedback, so thanks for reading. Yes, I'm aware it's a battle royal. I have three stories set up around the battle royal: one if Aries wins, one if Cena wins, and one if neither of them win. I'm actually really glad I thought about using the Super P Cup (or PWA Cup) to help build a feud or a story this year. It's easy story telling, and you can go a number of ways with it regardless of the actual results, and it helps build the feud and put my company on the map, again, regardless of the results.

Although, truth be told, you always light a fire under me, Serg, especially when it comes to story telling. During the first official draft, not only were you kicking ass with your AWA, but you were really pimping Eco's company, and not mentioning mine. Which was fine. My storytelling back then wasn't great. But when you mentioned going back and reading old companies and left me out (and I know you didn't mean any offense) it lit a spark under me. Basically, my mindset is this time around, "If you can win, great, but be so good with your storytelling, that in 2016, Serg will say "Hey, guys, go back and read Eric's USA Wrestling company from 2013. It's tremendous."

I look forward to trying to reach those high standards that you normally set.

[Batman]

Haha! Awesome!


(Oh, and what I was getting at about it being a Battle Royal is that the authority figure has no motivation to send two guys who are feuding-- they're likely to sabatoge each other. But your story addresses that-- since you said that Vince has been ordered to send his top two picks, regardless of other considerations....)

[Eric O'Mac]

We join Vince McMahon, who seems to be watching a replay of the Super P Cup Battle Royal on a monitor.



On the monitor, we see part of the battle royal playing...including the part where John Cena eliminates Austin Aries. We hear a person walk in and we see John Cena walk in front of the monitor.



Vince McMahon: What the hell do you think you're doing?

John Cena: You wanted to see me.

Vince McMahon: Not that, damn it! Eliminating Austin Aries in the Battle Royal! You know I wanted that Super P Cup here in this company!

John Cena: Look, you know just as well as I know that putting the two of us together wasn't a good idea.

Vince McMahon: No, maybe the bad idea was thinking you would actually listen to me this time around. So, you know what, damn it? I've traded your sorry ass!

John Cena: Excuse me?

Vince McMahon: You heard me! You're out! I traded you and three others to some porn king. And now you're out of my damn hair!

John Cena: I think you're making a big mistake, Vince.

Vince McMahon: And I think this is the equivalent of me saying...YOU'RRRRRRRE FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRED!

John Cena starts to walk out, shaking his head.

Vince McMahon: Cena, wait.

John Cena turns around with hate in his eyes.

Vince McMahon: Leave that on my desk.

Vince McMahon nods towards the World Heavyweight Championship. Cena takes it off his waist, eyes it, and drops on Vince's desk with a loud thud. He walks off and we fade in...

[Batman]

I love that the very thing I was questioning how smart it was came back and bit Vince on his ass.

Austin Aries, Shawn Michaels, Paul London, Jay Lethal, Homicide, Damien Sandow, Charlie Haas, Jamie Noble, MVP...

That might be the most utterly solid bunch I've ever seen. You made out like a bandit in this trade.

[Eric O'Mac]

"No Chance" starts to play in the Hammerstein Ballroom as the New York crowd starts booing the Chairman of USA Wrestling, Mr. McMahon.



Mr.McMahon: Ladies and gentlemen...

The fans are relentless as they boo louder.

Mr. McMahon: Ladies and gentlemen...

More boos.

Mr. McMahon: Ladies and gent-SHHHHHHHHHHHHHUUUUUUUUUT UPPPPPPPPPPPP!

Even more boos, but the crowd finally gets quiet.

Mr. McMahon: Now, as you know, there are several issues to discuss concerning the direction of USA Wrestling. First of all, concerning the status of our World Heavyweight Championship, I have had several former World Champions discuss their desire to win the Championship. Men like former the first ever WWF Triple Crowd Winner Pedro Morales.



Mr. McMahon: Maybe a former AWA World Champion like Nick Bockwinkel.



Mr. McMahon: I've heard from former ROH World Champions like Jamie Noble and Homicide.



Mr. McMahon: You all have obviously heard that former ROH World Champion and TNA World Champion Austin Aries wants to be involved.



Mr. McMahon: And, of course, the first WWF Grand Slam Champion, "The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels.



Mr. McMahon: And because I've been put in charge, I won't get involved, even though I, too, am a former World Champion.



Mr. McMahon: And because I have six guys who are former World Champions, it would only make sense that these wrestlers would be involved in the crowning of the next USA Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion! So, at the first USA Wrestling Pay Per View Event "Burn Notice," I am announcing that the first main event will be the World Champions Open Invitation! This six wrestlers will wrestle and the winner of the match will be the USA Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion!

...And to make it interesting, one of these wrestlers will determine what kind of match the championship will be decided in. How will we determine which wrestler decides the stipulation? Well, that brings me to my next issue to discuss.

The Super P Tag Team Championship Battle Royal is coming up soon, and since we were not victorious in bringing home the Super P Cup, damn it, I will stop at nothing to win the Tag Team Battle Royal. So I am holding my own battle royal, in this ring, RIGHT NOW! The last two wrestlers remaining will select partners to represent USA Wrestling at the Super P Cup Tag Team Championship Battle Royal! And to make things even more interesting, whoever lasts the longest out of our former World Champions... that wrestler will determine the stipulation for the main event! So, if you're on the roster, and you're a wrestler or have ever wrestled at all, damn it, get in the ring now!

The roster starts to come out one by one.

Mr. McMahon: And just because I won't get involved in the World Championship matchup...doesn't mean I can't bring home the damn the Tag Team Championship Cup myself!

Mr. McMahon removes his shirt to reveal he is also prepared for ring action as the roster has now all entered the ring.



Mr. McMahon: Ring the damn bell!

(Note: I am entering every member of my roster who has ever wrestled into a random.org list. This is completely random. I have six stipulations for each of the six guys entered in my World Championship match depending on who the last one remaining is. And now, our list of eliminations...)

Todd Grisham is with Paul London and Rocky Romero at ringside.

Todd Grisham: Congratulations to the two of you for winning the battle royal. Can I ask who your partners are going to be?

Rocky Romero: Grisham, what kind of dumbass question is that? The Havana Pitbulls is where it's at, and we're going to bring home the Super P Cup Tag Team Championship!

Rocky Romero walks off.

Todd Grisham: Alright, it seems that Rocky Romero will be selecting Ricky Reyes to join him. Paul London, none of your regular tag team partners are here in USA Wrestling. Do you know who you are going to select to partner with you?

Paul London: You know, Todd, I haven't given it a lot of thought, but Jay Lethal was in the final three with us, so I'll talk with him, and if he's cool, then it'll be the team of Lethal London who are in it to win it!

Todd Grisham: Alright, thanks for your time! Now, let me get a word with Austin Aries.

Austin Aries walks into the picture.

Todd Grisham: Austin Aries, it was down to you and Nick Bockwinkel and you eliminated him to be the last remaining participant in the main event. It is up to you to decide a stipulation for that main event. Do you know the stipulation?

Austin Aries: I'm not ready to announce it yet, but Vince McMahon told me that if I didn't win the Super P Cup, then I'd have to climb to the top the hard way. In my eyes, I think I'll make the rest of my competition climb to the top the same way as me.

Todd Grisham: Does that mean what I think it means?

Austin Aries: We'll see, Todd. I'll make my stipulation known officially in a few days.

Austin Aries walks away with a smile on his face.

Todd Grisham: I'm sure rumors will fly after that interview. Let's go to commercial!

Fade out.

Announced Card for USA Wrestling Presents: Burn Notice



World Heavyweight Championship
Champions Invitational Match
Stipulation To Be Determined
Austin Aries vs. Nick Bockwinkel vs. Shawn Michaels vs. Jamie Noble vs. Homicide vs. Pedro Morales

[Eric O'Mac]

Austin Aries: So, you want to know what the stipulation is...



Austin Aries: A lot of "insiders" speculated that I was going to make my opponents climb the ladder the hard way...in a ladder match for this championship. And I'm sure that would have been an awesome match, but, personally, I've got something a little more sadistic in mind. You see, my life has centered around being the top wrestler in the world. Not the top wrestler in my promotion. THE. WORLD. And I will do anything - ANYTHING - to assure that when the marquee is posted outside of the arena, I get the top billing.

Seeing how I am in the best promotion in the world right now, then if I am champion, I can truly stake my claim at being the best. Some of these wrestlers I've battled before. Battled, and defeated. Some of these wrestlers are true legends of the sport. And, of course, one of my competitors has a legitimate claim to being the best of all time.

But we are starting with a flesh slate here in USA Wrestling. I don't care how long Nick Bockwinkel held the AWA Championship. I couldn't care less about Pedro Morales Triple Crown. And it doesn't matter to me the credentials of Shawn Michaels, Homicide, or Jamie Noble. The true fact of the matter is, I'm simply better than them.

The fans probably would have loved a ladder match. But, as I've established before, I DON'T WRESTLE FOR YOU - I WRESTLE FOR ME. And in ladder matches, especially these multi-man ladder matches, someone could literally win on a fluke, and I'm not taking that chance.

Instead, I want to show my competitors how badly I want to win this World Championship. I want to prove to them how sadistic, barbaric, and ultimately demonic I am willin to be if it means I am champion. Because, you see, being the champion is EVERYTHING to me and I will fight - and eliminate - my competition to prove it.

Come Burn Notice, there will be no flukes. The champion will be the last man standing. And we will decide the championships in...

THE ELIMINATION CHAMBER.



Austin Aries: At Burn Notice, I will be the World Champion and I will show you all, just why, I am The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived.

[Eric O'Mac]

Quick notes from a USA Wrestling House Show at Hammerstein Ballroom. This show was meant to be a warm-up for the talent and to create storylines and tie up loose ends. Thanks to Greg DeMarco for the report.

-The opening match of Los Guerreros Del Infierno vs. The Bravado Brothers ended with Ultimo Guerrero hitting a flipping DDT for the win. After the match, the Havana Pitbulls came down to the ring with Homicide and beat down Bucanero and Guerrero. Homicide cut a promo afterwards, telling the Los Guerreros Del Infierno that they were the "real" warriors from hell and they will prove it at Burn Notice.

-MVP beat Tony Nese. Afterwards, MVP cut a promo, telling the fans that he traveled to Japan after his WWE stint and was enamored with the respect that the sport had over there. He wants to bring the same kind of respect back to the States and is willing to prove himself against anyone. Finlay came out, told MVP that if it was a fight he was looking for, then no one knows how to fight better than he. He challenged him to a Belfast Brawl at Burn Notice, telling MVP if he could beat Finlay, he would earn his respect. MVP agreed to the match.

-Fit Finlay beat Jesse Sorensen in a quick match. MVP watched at ring side.

-Tommasso Ciampa and Kyle O'Reilly defeated Yuji Nagata and Kenny Omega in a tag team submissions match. Ciampa recorded the fall, forcing Omega to tap out to Project Ciampa II (Cloverleaf).

-Vince McMahon came out and announced the three teams to win at Burn Notice would advance to the USA Wrestling Tag Team Championship match at the second pay-per-view event.

-The Usos and The Young Bucks defeated Jado and Gedo and The Havana Pitbulls after the The Havana Pitbulls walked out on Jado and Gedo.

-Paul London came out and cut a promo that leaned on the heel side. Told the crowd that Lethal was a nobody impersonating a nobody, and that he would defeat Lethal and put himself in line to get a World Championship Title shot.

-Tommasso Ciampa and Kyle O'Reilly defeated Yuji Nagata and Kenny Omega in a tag team submissions match. Ciampa recorded the fall, forcing Omega to tap out to Project Ciampa II (Cloverleaf).

-Brent Albright, Gunner, and BJ Whitmer walked out and cut a heel promo. They said, in not so many words, that Whitmer and Albright were the original Shield, and that they, along with Gunner, were the Hangmen. Albright expressed his disgust at not being included in the Elimination Chamber match, seeing that he was a former NWA World Champion. He also expressed disgust that none of the Hangmen were on the card and that they would make their impact at Burn Notice.

-Jay Lethal defeated Maven. Afterwards, Paul London and Sunny came out and attacked Lethal and Miss Elizabeth.

-In the main event, Shawn Michaels, Pedro Morales, and Jamie Noble defeated Austin Aries, Nick Bockwinkel, and Homicide. Homicide, just like the Havana Pitbulls earlier, walked out on the match, claiming up the aisle that he wasn't going to help his enemies win a match that didn't matter. Jamie Noble got a clean submission over Bockwinkel. Afterwards, Aries hit Noble with a brainbuster, but got knocked out by a Sweet Chin Music from HBK.

Thanks for reading a quick recap of some storylines that are basically shortened just so people will know what's kind of going on. Results to Burn Notice will be posted no later than Wednesday. Thanks again for reading.

Brownie points, since, well...I'm a mark for me.

Burn Notice Results!

In the opener, Kenny Omega pulled a shocking upset over Kyle O'Reilly. Omega used O'Reilly's own ankle lock against him, eventually forcing O'Reilly to tap out in frustration.

Jado and Gedo defeated The Bravado Brothers to advance to the triple threat tag team championship match at the next PPV.

MVP defeated Finlay in the Belfast Brawl. Afterwards, Finlay offered his hand to MVP, which MVP shook.

Tomasso Ciampa defeated Yuji Nagata with the Cloverleaf to become the inaugural Tapout Champion.

The Young Bucks defeated The Usos in a great tag team match. The Young Bucks also advance to the triple threat tag team championship.

Paul London and Jay Lethal fought to a double disqualification.

Los Guerreros Del Infierno defeated The Havana Pitbulls.

In the main event, Austin Aries was crowned the USA Wrestling World Champion. Noble and Bockwinkel were the first to start. The next competitor was Pedro Morales. Aries was the fourth competitor. Before the fifth competitor could be released, The Hangmen (Brent Albright, Gunner, and BJ Whitmer) came out from under a floor panel to take out Morales. They were forced out by the referee. Aries took advantage by pinning Morales. The fifth competitor was Shawn Michaels who took out Bockwinkel with a Sweet Chin Music. Homicide was the last competitor entered in the ring. These Homicide was eliminated by Jamie Noble. Shawn Michaels eliminated Noble, and was rolled up by Aries.

Thus conclude Burn Notice. The next pay-per-view? Fairly Legal.

Thanks for reading.

[Eric O'Mac]

Austin Aries is standing backstage with the World Heavyweight Championship.



Aries: I did what I said I would do. I was the last man standing and now, I am the World Heavyweight Champion. But I hear the critics. The people who say I won off of a fluke roll-up. The people who say that Shawn Michaels is deserving of a second chance.

I won't argue who is deserving and not deserving. But I will state for the record that nothing means more than this Championship. And if you think I didn't win it fairly? I don't need your recognition, but just to prove a point, I will give Shawn Michaels another shot at my belt. I don't mind doing so because this belt is coming home with me: The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived.

Meanwhile, elsewhere in the arena...



Jay Lethal: Hey, Paul London! We didn't get anything settled at Burn Notice! But your hussy dared to put her hands on my woman? I'm coming for you, brother, and you won't need to hide behind any disqualifications! Me and you, street fight, at Fairly Legal! And I spoke with Vince McMahon...the winner will get a title shot!

Paul London walks up behind Lethal and knocks him out with a kendo stick. London looks down at Lethal.

London: I guess you've got a deal. And the chance to be World Champion? I won't pass that up. You're going down, Lethal. There won't be any "Sunny days" in your future.

London walks off as we cut to Homicide, Rocky Romero, and Ricky Reyes in the locker room.

Homicide: Man, there's something all these gringos need to recognize. We run this wrestling company! We run this locker room! And WE determine who gets respect here. MVP wants to walk in here and he thinks a little fight with that Irish bastard earns him some redemption? It didn't earn him shit! So, MVP, I'm calling you out! Let's see if you can make it past me! And as for the Usos? You're in the wrong place, at the wrong time. My boys here Rocky and Ricky, they're going to kick your asses back to Samoa. And I don't think we haven't forgotten about what's going on with the Tag Team Titles. We'll make our presence known at the pay-per-view!

Let's go to the ring, where The Hangmen are cutting a promo.

Brent Albright: You see what happens when we aren't given the respect we deserve? When an old timer like Pedro Morales is included in a championship match but we aren't? Bad move! We...

Pedro Morales walks out to some cheers as Albright stops talking. Morales doesn't say anything but has a mean spirited look in his eye.

Brent Albright: Haha, I recognize that look. You want to kick our asses, don't you? Well, why don't you come down and get some?

Morales runs into the ring and goes after all three Hangmen members (Gunner, Albright, and Whitmer) but the numbers are too much. However, the crowd cheers as Yuji Nagata runs down with a chair and chases them off! We cut to one more last backstage segment..



Kenny Omega (jumping up and down): Yes! Yes! Yes! I have a Tapout Title Shot! Yes! Yes! Yes!

Wait...I don't know many submissions. How did I win that last match?

Kenny Omega thinks real hard as we fade out (for now)...
