Tokyo Egg Dome
   


The sold out Tokyo Egg Dome crowd begins to clap their hands. The sound of their clapping grows in intensity as the huge screens high above the ring flicker on with the National eWrestling Alliance's logo. The picture fades into the logo for the pay per view spectacular that is about to begin…The International Peace Festival.

The ring announcer enters the ring. The crowd becomes almost silent as he begins to speak first in his native tongue, then in English for the worldwide audience watching via pay per view.

"The National eWrestling Alliance and host member All Japan Pro Wrestling, proudly present… live from the Tokyo Egg Dome…the International Peace Festival!"

The clapping begins again, this time louder than ever.

With each statement from the announcer, he says it first in Japanese, then in English.

"It is now time for the greatest wrestling action in the world…be prepared for anything!"

The camera shot switches from the ring announcer to the booth high in the Egg Dome where the NeWA's play-by-play man Joe Jackson and color commentator Bob Michaels will broadcast their commentary for the event.

Jackson: "Welcome everyone to the sold out Tokyo Egg Dome. This is Joe Jackson along with Bob Michaels. You may not have understood everything that Koichi just said, but one things for sure, you're going to understand the action that is about to take place."

Michaels: "Joe, you're right about that. There may be a language barrier here, but everyone understands that the National eWrestling Alliance is bringing the best in the world together for this incredible show here tonight."

Jackson: "We've got the pinnacle of athletes from the NeWA here tonight. There's no doubt some will go home injured in mind and body."

Michaels: "And some could go home will a little less weight in the their luggage as we have some fantastic title matches from many regions and of course, World and International Championships to top off this exciting evening."

Jackson: "I know I can hardly wait…and from the looks of the fans in the Dome, they're ready for the action too. Let's go to ringside for the introductions to our opening bout."

The camera switches to the ring announcer as two NeWA standouts loosen in the ring preparing for their match. The announcer introduces the men to the crowd.

Koichi: "Former United States Champion and reigning Oregon State Champion…The Boooooog-Man!"


The crowd politely claps. A soft "Boooog!" chant begins then stop quickly as the announcer begins to speak again.

Koichi: "His opponent has held numerous regional titles and is looking to capture a bigger title very soon. The Natural Boy, Dan Bensen!"

The crowd claps again.

Jackson: "Fans, up first, and what a opener this is Bob…"Da Man" Dan Benson one-on-one with the Boog-Man. What a toss up."

Michaels: "You've got that one right, Shoeless. Hey, I have no idea on this one, but isn't Benson's nickname the 'Natural Boy'?"

Jackson: "Whatever, let's hit the ring."


 The Boog-Man
PNW Oregon State Champion

 Versus

"The Natural Boy"
Dan Bensen

Benson comes down to the ring first, accompanied by Classy Eddie Blazzy. The manager is arguing with his wrestler as they walk down the aisle to a mixed reaction. Then the Japanese fans cheer as the Boog-Man comes down to the ring.

Jackson: "Sounds like Boog is a Japanese favorite."

The bell sounds and the two men come forward to lock it up. Benson grabs a hold of Boog-Man and locks on a side headlock. Boog throws him into the ropes, leap frogs, then back kicks him on the way back. Boog quickly DDTs Benson.

Michaels: "That's impressive there."

Boog picks the man up, and scoop slams him down. He quickly locks his legs around Dan's chin. Benson's on the ropes and the hold is broken.
Dan gets to his feet and the two lock it up. Benson turns it into a hammerlock, then trips Boog down and is over him, putting pressure on the arm. Boog-man is trapped on his belly, but manages to poke Dan in the eye with a thumb. Benson rolls off and Boog is up only to come right back down with a quick legdrop. He covers, 1.......2.....kick out.

Jackson: "The Boog-Man is a veteran, no doubt about that."

Boog goes to pick him up, but Benson uses a double leg takedown, then kicks Boog right in the groin. He stands the man up and executes a Russian legsweep. Benson waits for Boog to get to his feet, then knees him in the midsection. He hooks him and hits a backbreaker. Benson covers, 1......2.....shoulder up. Dan takes the man and hits a belly-to-back suplex.

Jackson: "Benson has had total control for a couple minutes here."

Benson signals to the crowd. He hooks the Boog-Man for the Shocker, but Boog pushes him off into the ropes then nails a head scissors on the way back. The Boog-Man's going for the E.O.A.! He runs at the ropes, springboards from the top and drops a BIG elbow. He hooks the leg, 1.....2.....3!!!

Koichi: "Your winner, in 13:09, the Boooooooog-Man!"

The crowd cheers approvingly.

Jackson: "A great opening bout…"

Michaels: "That was the warm up match. The fans here are heated up and they are about to get even hotter as two legends of the NeWA are about to take it to the ring."

The camera goes to the entryway as Stan "The Lariat" Hansen, one-half of the All Asia Tag Team Champions, makes his way to the ring. A few insane fans jump in front of Hansen and allow him to whip them with his bullrope and bell. They crumble to the floor and roll back into the crowd with a huge smile on their faces having been assaulted by their hero. Hansen climbs into the ring, bellows out a guttural sound, and shoves his "Texas Longhorns" gesture into the air. The crowd roars with approval.

Jackson: "What more can be said of that entrance?"

Michaels: "I've only seen that on tape before…unbelievable. Those fans are crazy. At least Piper is going to get paid to take a beating."

The sound of bagpipes echo strangely throughout the Egg Dome and the eight-time World Champion, "Rowdy" Roddy Piper walks out. The fans are on their feet clapping. Piper makes his way to the ring and twirls his kilt off and into the crowd. A small boy catches it and wraps it around himself as his friends touch it in disbelief. The camera zooms out to show the entire ring as the ring announcer begins to speak.

Koichi: "His titles held are endless…he is current All Asia Tag Team Champion…this is Staaaaan Hansen!"

The crowd roars its approval.

Koichi: "And his opponent needs no introduction anywhere in the world. He is an eight-time World Heavyweight Champion. He is the tradition of the National eWrestling Alliance. Please welcome the true legend…Rowdy…Roddy…Piiiiiiiiiiiper!"

Jackson: "This is a true legends match. While Piper is past his prime, he can still run with the big dogs, and there's not anyone much bigger than Stan 'The Lariat' Hansen on this side of the pacific."

Michaels: "That Texas Longhorn is aged himself, but they don't come any rougher, tougher, or meaner than Stan Hansen. I have a lot of respect for Piper but sometimes you gotta ask yourself why he would want to battle Stan Hansen."

Jackson: "Hansen and 'Dr. Death' Steve Williams make up the All Asia Tag Team Champions. I'm surprised that Doc isn't here with his partner tonight."

Michaels: "It's a good thing for Piper's sake…"


 "Rowdy"
Roddy Piper

 Versus

 "The Lariat"
Stan Hansen

Hansen clobbers Piper at the bell with a huge elbow to the face, dropping Piper to the mat. Hansen picks him up and drops Piper again, this time with a forearm blow.

Jackson: "Owww…Hansen is laying a hurtin' on Piper here in the Dome. Piper had better turn things around quickly or this match will be over soon."

Michaels: "One lariat and this match is done."

Hansen scoops Piper and slams him hard to the mat. He measures Piper for a running elbow drop…and lands it. Hansen hooks Piper's leg for the pin attempt. Referee Joe Higuchi counts….One…two…thr-

Jackson: "Kickout by Piper!"

Michaels: "Piper should have just layed down for the count, took his money, and be glad he could walk away from here. He may not be so lucky if this continues."

Hansen lifts Piper up by the hair and signals to the crowd his finisher…the lariat. Hansen whips Piper into the ropes…Hansen tugs his elbow pad and prepares to decapitate Piper as he bounces off the ropes. Hansen swings the meaty arm at Piper's neck…

Jackson: "Piper ducked just in time!"

Piper bounces back off the ropes and nails a surprised Hansen with a haymaker right. Piper follows that with two fingers to the eyes of Hansen. Hansen is stunned. Piper whips Hansen into the ropes…

Jackson: "SLEEPER! SLEEPER!!!"

Michaels: "Unbelievable! I thought Piper was done for!"

Hansen drops to his knees as Piper shifts his weight to add more pressure on the sleeper hold. Referee Joe Higuchi is checking the arm of Stan Hansen. He lifts it…it falls once…twice…Higuchi lifts it a third time.

Jackson: "This is it. Hansen is out!"

Michaels: "NO! WAIT! That's Hansen's tag team partner…"

Jackson: "The Doctor is in! He's nailed Piper from behind! This match is over!"

Steve Williams pounds on Roddy Piper. He grabs Piper and flips him up and over into a backdrop driver! Hansen is up…they whip Piper into the ropes and level him with a double clothesline. Down the aisle comes…

Jackson: "I can't believe it! It's Terry Funk to the rescue!!!"

Funk hits the ring and the All Asia Tag Team Champions slide out. Hansen and Williams walk away from the ring with Piper motionless inside as Funk bounces off the ropes swinging his fists at them. The fans cheer Funk.

Koichi: "Your winner via disqualification in 8:41…Rowdy…Roddy…Piiiiper!"

Jackson: "Piper paid a high price here tonight for that victory."

Michaels: "Something tells me that Piper will have his own measure of payback for that in the not too distant future."

Jackson: "Well the Egg Dome is rocking now. These fans might not sleep for a week with the excitement level we have now, and we're only two matches deep into this card."

Michaels: "Two surprise appearances already…I guess Koichi was right when he said 'be prepared for anything' tonight."


Jackson: "Looks like we've got an interview by the World Tag Team Champions."

The Rebels come down to ringside and the group of smart fans boo loudly.

Rick Evans: "First of all you moronic pieces of trash here in Tokyo, Japan, do everyone a good favor and SHUT YOUR NO GOOD FOR NOTHING MOUTHS!"

The same group of fans boo even louder than before.

Rick Evans: "Are you people hard of hearing, SHUT THE HELL UP!!"

Those fans continue booing.

Rick Evans: "Oh well you people suck anyways. Alright now down to business. Tonight in this very ring the Rebels will step in the ring with those low class no good for nothing losers...the Overlords. Overlords tonight we fight you once again in another match for our NeWA World Tag Team Titles. Boys I do recall the last time we fought and it was in the IWA, in a very good battle, for our titles."

The group of smart fans begin chanting "Evans sucks." Rick walks over to the corner and stands on the ropes. He gives the crowd the finger. He continues.

Rick Evans: "You people chant your little chants all you want, but the fact of the matter is that tonight the Rebels are going to beat the hell out of the Overlords right here tonight and there isn't a damn thing any of you people can do about it. Never the less, as I was saying before I got so rudely interrupted, Overlords the last time we fought it was in the IWA and it was a very good hard fought match. But you see boys, in that match we came out with the victory and showed you low class freaks that you are not good enough to be World Tag Team Champions. Boys tonight things will be no different as it was last time...with the exception that this time we are fixing to hurt you boys and hurt you boys even more than last time. Overlords you will learn that you are not NeWA World Championship material."

Rick hands the mic over to Buck Smith and then mocks the Tokyo crowd. Buck takes the mic and sits down on the turnbuckle. He looks at the booing fans and speaks.

Buck Smith: "You people SUCK, SO SHUT YOUR MOUTHS! Now Overlords tonight we understand you are looking to get a little revenge on us for what we did to your piece of trash stable member Power. Boys the Rebels and the rest of the Northern Soldiers beat your little friend because he passed up an opportunity of a life-time. If you don't know what that is then just let me tell you. We offered him the chance to become a member of the greatest stable in the NeWA…the Northern Soldiers. He turned us down and we beat his ass for doing so. We taught him a lesson and that was...if you are not on our side you will be destroyed."

The fans once again start booing. Buck jumps off the turnbuckle and walks to the middle of the ring. He then looks towards the fans.

Buck Smith: "You people can boo all you want...but Power is gone…we took him out once and for all. Overlords now that we have taken you buddy Power out...it is time to take you boys out as well. So tonight you will try and reach the top of the mountain and become the champions. As you boys make your way up we are going to knock you down and beat you like yesterday's garbage. Overlords tonight you boys are doomed. THERE WILL BE NO MERCY!! Oh, before we leave I just have one more thing to say…DWA if you boys are listening, the Rebels and Adam Fierce are coming for your six man tag titles."

The Rebels music "Gangsta Gangsta" by NWA plays throughout the Dome as the Rebels leave the ring to a chorus of boos from the group of smart fans.

Jackson: "The Rebels are riding high. They have taken out IoV member, Power. Now they say they're going after the DWA."

Michaels: "But first they've got to get past The Overlords here tonight."
