CRUNCHIES BAR
EAST LANSING, MI

As fans and local media gathered for the opening night of wrestling scheduled by the TRADITION wrestling promotion headed by local sports radio talk host Robert Bennett, they were met with quite a shock as they were let into CRUNCHIES BAR in East Lansing......

The crowd of about 100 people were seated in front of a podium and the bar's big screen TV by local security.

As everyone was getting settled in their seats a image appeared on the 55 inch TV.....

DUE TO A SEVERE NECK INURY SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF BISON SMITH KURT ANGLE WILL BE OUT OF ACTION FOR AT LEAST A MONTH

As people continue to wonder what is going on after hearing that news, and the fact that there was wrestling promoted to happen tonight but as they continue to sit and wonder....suddenly.....

SOCAL VAL STEPS UP TO THE PODIUM WITH MATT MORGAN DRESSED IN A SUITE AND SUNGLASSES BEHIND HER

The crowd of media and fans alike begin to stir and chatter with confusion as to what is exactly going on here tonight. Val then begins to address the crowd.....

VAL: "Ladies and Gentlemen, fans and local media first off let me begin by saying thank you for coming here this evening. I realize that this is not what you expected tonight but I assure you that I will explian everything."

"First off I know all of you came here to see the in ring debut of TRADITION and I assure you that will happen right here tonight, first however it has been a hectic twenty four hours for this promotion so I am here to clear up any questions."

"Let us get the obvious out of the way first as reported earlier indeed Kurt Angle has sustained a severe neck injury in a match against Bison Smith at IN HONOR OF TRADITION due to that injury Mr. Angle will be out at least a month. Also because of that incident Bison Smith has been suspended because of his actions and malecious intent at a tribute show."

Mr Smith's suspension will be lifted when Kurt Angle will be cleared to wrestle in the squared circle, and they will face one another in their return match! More on this as it developes.

"Now onto the not so obvious, I would like to first thank Mr. Bennett and his lovely wife Patricia for making a very sound business decision first to draft me even though it is a slap in the face for me to be even in the draft to begin with I mean I ran the LWA for god sakes,"

"For the past twenty four hours myself and my financial backer have been in meetings with the Bennett family and after several hours of delibiration I am proud to announce you are looking at the new CEO of TRADITION"

"My history with TRADITION speaks for itself, I do believe we do have a video of Mr Bennett and his wife can we see that now please...."


VAL: "Ohhh I tell you that Bennett family sure knows how to live don't they fans, and they know a damn good business decision when they see one"

"Now for all you snoopy media here tonight looking for the scoop before you even ask you will all find out who was the genius to back me financialy all in do time. I realize that for about a week this promotion was promoting a huge 4 day event to crown its champion in a 32 man tournament, well as you can tell things have changed."

"This roster has been turned upside down to see fit as to what I believe will be a better product....for several of the talent they can sit and wait IF I decide for them to be used...to other promoters feel free to call about talent. The talent you see here tonight will be the key to to this promotions growth into the future"

"In saying all that here is the exclusive and final card for tonight's historic event"

After the press conference was completed the ring crew came down to set up the ring for tonights event. While waiting the fans and media present at CRUNCHIES BAR for the card were allowed a meet and greet with the staff and talent of TRADITION.

They were all sent back to there seats once the show was ready to begin........

"Shamrock wants to put an end to Severn in pro wrestling, just like he claims he did in the MMA world. Shamrock also claimed that the WWE never had the balls to book a match between the two of them when they had the chance, and the MMA world could not handle the two of them showing up all their so called young talent with another battle."

"Shamrock continued to call out Severn, calling him a sell out and a pu**y, and stated thanks to TRADITION and Mr Bennett that he (Shamrock) is going to make alot of money breaking the neck of Michigan's own Severn"

SUDDENLY.....

DAN SEVERN came down to the ring and went nose to nose with Shamrock after several minutes of a stare down between the two MMA legends

Security came down and separated the two before any major incident occurred between the two

SOCAL VAL IS SHOWN IN THE BACK TALKING ON HER CELL PHONE..

"I tell you this Shamrock/Severn thing if done right could bring in a boat load of money I will make sure it will happen you don't have to concern yourself about that."

"I will say I am a little concerned about a few things...like ohh I don't know DAYTON DAVE and HEARTLAND coming into the FLW, honestly with the history you two have had not to mention my history with that whole situation do you really think it was a smart business decision to help bring him aboard like that...."

"Alright, if you say so...listen I know you got to go, but I wanted to give you a quick update, Matt Morgan will be returning sooner then we thought from the attack he suffered from Cornette and the Midnight Express....talked to Tammy as well and Candido is doing well and right on schedule for his return...alright tell your wife I say hello and I will keep you updated if anything changes"

"Let me get this right, that washed up has been of a fighter Ken Shamrock came out here a few days back and called out that other over the hill washed up fighter Dan Severn and everyone is making a big deal out of it?"

SUDDENLY WITH THAT KEN SHAMROCK WAS SHOWN IN THE CROWD WITH MICROPHONE IN HAND...

"Wait just a minute their kid, who are you again? Although I must tell you I give you credit coming out here and saying what you are saying because that piece of garbage Severn has not said a damn thing about excepting my challenge...so apprentely you seem to have more balls then Severn which really isnt saying much...

"Another thing can I really take anything you say serious to begin with after all your MMA ass got beat by of all people Bobby Lashley I mean seriously?"

"With that Sapp tried to jump over the railing into the fans to get Shamrock, but was held back by 4 or 5 bouncers from the bar. Trash talk continued between the two, until RICKY LANDELL (1/2 of the tag team champions) made his way into the ring to begin the 1st match of the tournament"

BOB SAPP defeated RICKY LANDELL

Give credit to Landell who gave it his all against the monster Bob Sapp who after sustaing a few drop kicks and elbows to the face took complete control over Landell and finished him off with a devastating power bomb to get the victory!

*All hell broke loose after the match as once again Sapp had to be restrained from going into the crowd after a trash talking Shamrock.*

*The Midnight Express stormed into the ring and attacked the downed Landell with several vicious chair shots to the head and knee followed up by connecting with their ROCKET LAUNCHER finisher!....Landell's tag team partner Steve Cornino crawled down to ringside an absolute bloody mess trying to help his tag team championship partner to no avail*

*Until Tammy Stych and the returning MATT MORGAN came down to ringside, Morgan with baseball bat in hand went to attack the Midnight Express who escaped just in time, but Tammy got revenge on Cornette as she slapped him in the face before he retreated!*

"I am back! You three sons a bitches could not get the job down and on July 22nd Cornette you and your boys will never forget the name of Matt Morgan! I dare you to stick around because what I do to people in this tournament tonight is just the tip of the iceberg to what I am going to do to you on July 22nd!"

"Not surprising to me I still have not heard a damn thing from Michigan's own MMA golden boy. I am here to win championships and to beat respect into people, and Severn I was promised by certain people that I would have the great pleasure in beating respect into you."

"Going it alone, Hero put up a great fight and came within inches of winning the match and the belts when he connected with his Hero Sandwich on Landell who barely escaped!

TRADITION CARD #8

[badlarry75]

Hi Everyone, my name is Robert Bennett, long time promoter of LOW...I have been on this board many times trying to recreate something that I have been doing since 2009....that is TRADITION..granted it started on another board much like this...never really thought to bring it here to be honest.

On June 22nd of this year I just rolled my 5th anniversary show....then I at the time thought it would be great to start something new..that is when I started here with Dynamite Pro...but the more I thought about it...for me it's always been and always will be TRADITION.

So in saying that what you have seen here up to this point is the very beginning of the promotion..it gives me a chance to reflect back and fix some terrible spelling (Yikes) so I will be posting every day several shows up until now (which I just rolled the event after my 5th Anniversary show) it will take some time to catch up to the here and now as far as events but I will post as often as I can..so for those who bare with me THANK YOU...above all else keep the dice rolling.
