From the press room at Madison Square Garden. Assorted press are seated patiently awaiting for the press conference to begin. The door to the room opens and Larry Nelson Followed by Jack Tunney enter the room. Tunney takes a seat in the front row of the press room. Larry Nelson steps up to the podium.

LN: Good evening, wrestling fans, Larry Nelson here and I am privileged to welcome you all to the inaugural press conference for the Golden Wrestling Association. For those of you expecting the return of Vendetta Pro Wrestling, unfortunately Ultimatejobber was threatened with some sort of lawsuit. Something about there being a "real" Vendetta Pro Wrestling. Anyway, I am pleased to represent Ultimatejobber on this auspicious occasion as we once start a new year at Pun's Wrestling Alliance. The draft has come and gone and I must say Jobber has outdone himself with this year's draft. Today, I have been given the task of announcing our staff for the coming PWA season. First, I am pleased to announce the WA commentary/play by play team. The team consists of the great Hall of Famer Jim Ross and Myself. I am not afraid to admit that any bit I can contribute will pale next to good 'ol J.R.

I am also excited to announce our backstage interview team. When not in the announce booth, I will be backstage in the role I am most comfortable. However, I am very pleased to announce the I won't be the only one backstage conducting interviews. Ultimatejobber has drafted the extremely talented and exceedingly lovely Su Yung to take on some of the interview duties.

Finally, many of you probably noticed I did not arrive alone this evening. Please join me now in welcoming the first ever president of the Golden Wrestling Association, Mr. Jack Tunney.

Jack Tunney, stands up, shakes hands with Nelson and the two switch places.

JT: Thank you, Larry. I am pleased to accept this position and I look forward to guiding the GWA to a successful run this season. Today I would like to make some announcements regarding GWA and its upcoming cards.

First: There will will be a world heavyweight championship to be crowned. Given my experience managing tournaments in the past, Ultimatejobber has tasked me with the responsibility of creating a tournament that will render a fitting champion. However, the tournament will not take place until GWA's second event. The first event titled, "The Golden Age Dawns" will be a showcase of the talent gathered as a result of the recent PWA draft. Performances from this first card will influence participants in the tournament as well as seeding. I can also announce that the tournament will consist of a variety of match styles and will not be limited to one on one contests necessarily.

Second: In addition to the World Heavyweight championship, there will be Tag Team, Television, and Light Heavyweight championships to crown. The tag team belts will be determined over the course of GWA's third and fourth cards. The Intercontinental Title will be determined during our third card and the Light Heavyweight during the fourth.

Third: I have determined the first two matches for "The Golden Age Dawns". For as long as I have been in the business I have wanted to see the match I am about to announce. Both of these men were considered among if not the greatest Champions for WWWF and the NWA. I am more than excited to announce NWA Legend Lou Thesz vs. WWWF Bruno Sammartino! In an effort to determine a clear winner, this match will have a thirty minute time limit and contested under Iron Man rules. Only pinfalls and submissions will count toward each man's path to victory.

The second match will be a tag team contest featuring a legendary Gerald and Jack Brisco vs a young team that I feel never saw their full potential realized with TNA, Andy Douglas and Chase Stevens, known collectively as The Naturals. This will be a 2 out of 3 falls match.

Thank you all very much fo-

A Voice from the back breaks over Tunney's

Voice: Oh how quaint! Jack Tunney creating order already...

Someone rises from the last row of the press room and makes his way forward. As he steps into the light, James Mitchell points his cane at the podium.



JM: Tunney, you've been at this five minutes, and already I see you pathetic attempts at order. You faun on these "legends" and fail to see them for what they are...false idols that should be razed to the ground! I come with a warning Tunney! Nothing you can do will stop the destruction my church will bring down upon the GWA. My disciples will show no mercy, no remorse! They will bring the GWA down to its foundations and there will be nothing you can do. There will be only one force of consequence in the GWA and I will be the one pulling the strings. It starts tomorrow!

Fade Out

[Ultimatejobber]

Fade up on the ring in Madison Square Garden. Larry Nelson stands in the ring holding a document of some sort.

LN: Hello wrestling fans and welcome to the "Road to the Golden Age"! GWA's warm up events as we head to our first even here live at Madison Square Garden. Now, fans, last night GWA President Jack Tunney announced the first two matches for "The Golden Age Dawns" and boy are they ever a pair of winners. In tag team action we have the original Brisco Brothers, Gerald and Jack Brisco will take on The Naturals in a best 2 out of 3 falls match. In the first of what I have been told will be a double main event show. NWA Legend Lou Thesz will go one on one with WWWF legend Bruno Sammartino in a thirty minute iron man match. My goodness that will be one to remember! But folks hold on to your hats because I have in my hand a memo from the desk of Jack Tunney announcing the second main event for The Golden Age Dawns. Anyone who followed the PWA draft knows that the GWA picked up two monster talents in Samoa Joe an the Undertaker. Well, and I am reading directly from Mr. Tunney's memo here, "It only makes sense for two titanic talents meet in the squared circle as the second of GWA's inaugural ppv. Therefore, I am pleased to announce that this morning I have signed Samoa Joe and the Undertaker to face each other one on one."

Folks, it doesn't get any better than this: Samoa Joe will take on the Undertaker at "The Golden Age Dawns!" Now, today we have a couple of warm up matches as we get ready for Sunday. Both matches were assigned by random draw. First up we have The Young Stallion Jim Powers facing Bruiser Brody! My oh my, Jim has his work cut out for hi-



Making his way through the audience Bully Ray hops the guardrail and enters the ring. He stalks up to Larry Nelson and snatches the mic.

BR: You can go now. Nelson exits the ring in a hurry. Do you people know WHO I AM? I was the best thing going in TNA before that Jobber yanked me over to the GWA. I am one half of the most decorated tag team in wrestling history. Yet here I am. Two nights in and three matches announced, and where is Bully Ray? Still on the sidelines, waiting for that doof Jack Tunney to pull his head out of his ass and book me like he should. You know what, though? I don't mind. Tunney, I'm not gonna wait for you to make up your pea sized mind. Where I come from if you want to make a name for yourself, you find the biggest, meanest, ugliest dawg in the yard and you put that dawg down. So, that's what im doin'. Brody. I want Brody! And Brody, I don't wanna match. I. WANT. A. FIGHT. I don't want something like rules to get in the way. So let's make it dirty. No disqualification. No count outs. Weapons not only allowed, they are encouraged. Brody, I am gonna beat you within in inch of your miserable angry little life, then I'll beat you some more. So Bruiser, if you've got as much hair on your balls as you do on your head, you'll give me the answer I want tonight! We don't need Tunney to make the call! I'm done here. Yo, suit! Points at Nelson. You can come back into my ring now.

Larry Nelson returns to the ring

LN: Well, well... it looks like Jack Tunney has some serious thinking to do. We'll see if we can get a word with Bruiser after his match tonight. Now, let's go to the back where I hear Su Yung is with Tully Blanchard.

SY: Thanks, Larry! I am indeed with here Tully Blanchard. Tully, how do you plan to make-

Tully walks away from Su without speaking and makes his way down the hall. Camera pans and to find Baby Doll being trying to walk around Don Muraco. Muraco puts his arm in front of her. Tully grabs Muraco's arm and spins him around.



TB: Who the hell do you think you are?!!? No one bothers this lady. No one!

DM: Really? I must not have seen the warning label. She's a big girl, she can make up her own mind. What about it? Ditch this stuffed shirt and spend time with a real man.

Baby Doll walks up to Muraco and runs her hand down his chest before slapping him full in the face! Tully then follows up with a punch to the face. The two men brawl in the back before other members of the locker room pull the two apart.

DM: This isn't over Blanchard!!! I'm gonna beat some respect into you!

SY: "The Road to the Golden Age" will be right back!



Fade out

[Ultimatejobber]

Fade up, to Larry Nelson in the ring.

LN: Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is scheduled for one fall with a ten minute time limit. Making his way to the ring...from Santa Fe, New Mexico, weighing in at 283 pounds...BRUISER BRODY!




Brody enters the ring and begins pacing furiously



LN: His opponent, From New York City, New York, weighing in at 237 pounds, JIM POWERS!



The music plays in its entirety, but Jim Powers does not emerge from the back

JR: Folks, this is a little strange, Jim Powers has yet to emerge for his match. For what its worth, I'm not sure I blame Jim for not coming out. Brody has scared more than a few youngsters from competing in his day. One has to think though, that this would reflect poorly on Powers' chances of being selected for the world title tournament if he were to refuse to appear. Hold on folks, I'm getting word that there is some sort of commotion in the back. We have a camera there now...huh? Oh my God...that's... Well, that's Jim Powers...

Cut to a hallway just in time to see a hulking figure tossing Jim Powers head first into the locker toom door. Powers lies in a heap at the door to the locker room. Blood is pouring freely down his face. The hulking figure of Ryback turns to face the camera.



A figure emerges from the locker room and steps out from behind Ryback. It is the Sinister Minister himself, James Mitchell.



JM: You see, Tunney this is where chaos begins. It is bred from the carcass of a peon who was just doing his job. It is born from the sad order you cling to for the sake of entertaining these masses. Jack, you don't need broken relics from a bygone era wrestling for thirty minutes or a tournament that was barely relevant in the 80's! You need wanton destruction and blood to rain down from on high, or in my case below! I'm going to give it to you, Jack! Ryback is but the first of my disciples and you will meet more before this night is out! Mitchell then takes two fingers and wipes them across Powers' forehead. This man's blood is but the first drop that will be the flood! I told you, Jack that the end would begin tonight! Prepare yourself! Things are going to get very interesting...MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Ryback and Mitchell turn and walk away from the camera. Cut back to the ring where Larry Nelson is in the ring with Bruiser Brody.

LN: Welcome back wrestling fans, and we have seen it again as James Mitchell has apparently followed through with his threat to create choas here in the GWA. Hopefully Jack Tunney can regain some control an stop the Sinister Minister before his ministry gets out of hand. But I am here with Bruiser Brody. Mr. Brody, earlier this evening I was interrupted by Bully Ray who issued a challenge to you. He made himself clear. He wants no disqualifications and no count outs. He wants a fight. My question to you, sir, are you going to give it to him?



BB: I don't know why some fat, tub of grease like Bully Ray thinks he can beat me in a fight, but if he wants to be beaten within an inch of his life, I will gladly give it to him. Bully Ray, it's gonna take a hell of a lot more than a chain and a hammer to put me down! I'm gonna take that chain, beat you silly with it and shove it down your throat. Then I'm gonna take your hammer, break your kneecaps, and ram that right up your fat ass! I'm not gonna pin you, I'm going beat you until your out cold in a pool of your own blood. You made a BIG mistake Bully! I will see you Sunday! Brody Storms out of the ring to the back

LN: Well, there you have it fans, Bruiser Brody is in agreement. The real question here is whether Jack Tunney makes the match. Now folks, we have a tag team tune up match to wrap up the evening. Introducing first, from the mean streets of Greenwich, Connecticut, accompanied by Pete Gas, Joey Abs and Rodney - The Mean Street Posse!!



All three members of the posse make their way to the ring

LN: Their opponents from Nashville, Tennessee weighing in this evening at 440 pounds, Andy Douglas. Chase Stevens. The Naturals!!!

Larry Nelson departs the ring and makes his way to the announce table with Jim Ross.

JR: Well, Larry, this should be an interesting match up. The Mean Street Posse and those young up and comers the Naturals. The Naturals of course have a huge match up this coming Sunday versus Gerry and Jack Brisco. They are an impressive team who- wait a moment...OH WHAT THE HELL!!! Its the- Its the SHEEPHERDERS running down the ramp and they're attacking The Naturals. What the hell is this all about?? What are- they NO! NO! Its that damn James Mitchell! James Mitchell is coming out and he is directing the Sheepherders' attack! What did these two boys do? This isn't right!

The Sheepherders ambush the Naturals, starting with clubbing blows to their back they repeatedly ram Andy Douglas' head into the guardrail lining the ramp, busting his head open. Butch finishes Douglas by ramming his head three times into the ring post. Douglas does not move. Luke takes Chase Stevens to the top of the entrance ramp and stage. Stevens is just about to turn the tide when Mitchell hits him from behind with the cane. Luke then tosses Stevens off the stage, through a table and to the concrete floor below.

Mitchell then points to the ring. The Mean Street Posse is in the ring, looking at each other, unsure of what to do next. Butch stands outside the ring, blocking the ramp. Luke and Mitchell join Butch. Mitchell points to the left and Luke heads to that side of the ring. He then points to the right and Butch heads to the other side. Mitchell raises his arms





JR: My GAWD!

King Kong Bundy makes his way to the ring. The Posse members keep trying to escape the ring but are cut off by the Sheepherders. Bundy enters the ring. The Posse try to attack Bundy en masse, but Bundy shrugs them off. Body slam to Rodney followed by a big splash. Joey Abs gets the same. Somehow Pete Gas escapes the ring and makes his way up the ramp:



Pete backs right into Ryback who immediately lifts Gas up an delivers a Shell Shock on the stage. Mitchell enters the ring with a mic. His ministry behind him.



JM: Oh No! It looks as if the Briscoes need a new opponent for the "The Dawn of a Golden Age" MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

The Ministry stands tall as the camera fades to black

Jack Tunney's Office



JT: Good Evening. I have several announcements to make regarding tomorrow's event, "The Golden Age Dawns." We have several matches signed that will hopefully round out the card for GWA's first event.

First, I am pleased to announce that The Nature Boy Buddy Rogers will face Stu Hart in a submission match. Both of these men are dedicated ring generals and I have no doubt that we will see anything less than a wrestling clinic.

Second, I am announcing a five man elimination match for "The Golden Age Dawns" The winner of this match will be automatically entered into the "Road to the Gold" World Title tournament set to shortly follow our inaugural event. The following men have been selected to compete: Shannon Moore, Fandango, Robbie E, Kid Kash, The Silver King. As a reminder the winner is automatically in the tournament, but any competitor who impresses during this first show will be selected for the World Title Tournament.

Third, I am very excited to announce the second match pitting an all-time great against a young up and coming talent. The original Tiger Mask, Satoru Sayama has been signed to face the highly talented Kenny King in singles competition.

Now, on to the drama that unfolded last night. Tully Blanchard and Don Muraco had to be separated after a confrontation backstage. I can see no better way for these men to resolve their issues than to resolve them in the ring. Therefore, at "The Golden Age Dawns" it will be Tully Blanchard versus The Rock Don Muraco. Bully Ray also issued a challenge to one Bruiser Bordy, which was accepted by the Bruiser. While I can not condone Bully's methods, I do not want wrestlers running rampant competing in unsanctioned matches. As a result, I am sanctioning a no count out, no disqualification match between Bully Ray and Bruiser Brody.

Finally, last night James Mitchell and his so called ministry took it upon themselves to violently eradicate various members of the GWA roster in a blatant attempt to control the direction of the company. I have dealt with the likes of Ted DiBiase and Andre the Giant attempting to buy the WWF Championship. As a result of their brutal attacks, Andy Douglas and Chase Stevens are unable to compete in their match against the Gerald and Jack Brisco. The Mean Street Posse and Jim Powers have also been injured beyond the point of competition. Due to their reckless and chaotic actions, I am suspending James Mitchell, Ryback, King Kong Bundy, and the Sheepherders from participating in the "The Golden Age Dawn." Furthermore, no member of Mitchell's Ministry will compete in the upcoming world title tournament.

The Brisco Brothers will still compete on Sunday against the Bever- Tunney pauses as Gerald and Jack Brisco enter the office gentlemen, I was about to announce your opponents for tomorrow.



JB: Jack, you've known Gerry and I a long time. I know you want to make a point with these boys, but those Sheepherders put their nose in our business. Gerry and I think we can make things right here. Let us help you out here. Don't suspend the Sheepherders. Let us have them and we'll make sure they get in line.

JT: Well Jack, Gerry, if you think you can handle them, I trust you both enough to see this thing through. Very well. You will face the Sheepherders on Sunday. Ryback and Bundy will remain suspended, however. I promised your new opponents a payday and want to honor that commitment. So, to open the show like the WWE Royal Rumbles from the early nineties, The Beverly Brothers will take on Playboy Buddy Rose and Pretty Boy Doug Somers in a tag match. That makes eight matches for our upcoming event this Sunday. Please be sure to tune in to GWA's "The Golden Age Dawns."
