The show opens with Larry Sweeney in the center of the ring with microphone in hand;
SWEENEY: "Thats right daddy, guess who is back....HAHAHAHA!!!!"
"Sweet & Sour Inc. has had some time to sit back and reflect on things for the past several weeks, and as all you ham and eggers know Larry Sweeney goes were the money is baby!"
"So the wheels started turning, especially when I got a call from my good buddy DAYTON DAVE who offered me an oppertunity to make a boat load a cash...and it was to simply take a floundering promotion like TRADITION which to be quite frank with you idiots until I got there looked like and was run by what I could only think of as monkeys fing footballs!"
"However, right when I stepped threw those doors, what ever Sweet & Sour touches turns to gold and in no time flat I did what no promoter could ever do and that is save this wrestling ptomotion."
"The NWA however could not hold two thriving promotions like HEARTLAND and TRADITION, and surprise, surprise some how with the sucsess thanks in large part to ME the NWA was losing money!"
"So like a good business man I decided to take TRADITION and cut ties with the NWA promoter fed after TRADITION's land mark 25th show. Then low and behold I get a call from DAYTON DAVE telling me he has yet another oppertunity for yours truely and here we are today!"
"Tonight TRADITION continues......thanks to yours truely and this man.......
DAYTON DAVE makes his way into the ring...wearing a suit and tie and holding a new Championship belt. The two business partners shake hands, as Sweeney announces "Out with the old and in with the new, as there will not only be a MIDWEST CHAMPIONSHIP MATCH here tonight but a NUMBER 1 CONTENDERS TOURNAMENT for this title involving former MIDWEST champions from the past!"
DAYTON DAVE wispers something in his ear, then ansewers his cell phone as we walks out of the bar...Larry Sweeney announces it is going to be a historic night for Sweet & Sour Inc.
Sweeney begins the tournament by annoucing that thanks to his pull around here, despite not being a former MIDWEST Champion CLAUDIO CASTAGNOLLI will compete in the opening match of the tournament agianst the last man to hold the championship under the HEARTLAND Banner....Ladies and Gentlemen; Larry Sweeney and TRADITION give you......
After several minutes THE ROCK still had not come down to ringside, Larry Sweeney quickly got on his cell phone and stormed to the back screaming, leaving CLAUDIO in the ring alone, when the lights went out and.........
After several minutes to the delight of the 150 fans in the bar DELIRIOUS (A former MIDWEST CHAMPION) stood in the ring with 1/2 of the KINGS of WRESTLING!
A referee ran from the back and into the ring and started the match!

After the match Bradshaw nailed Daniels several times in the head with a steel chair busting the "Fallen Angel" open...Bradshaw laughing at the carnage was about to leave the ring when he spotted someone shouting at him from the bar... it was a former MIDWEST CHAMPION and close friends with Daniels; AJ STYLES!
