3... 2... 1...
Instead of a darkened arena with pyro and dazzling lights, Power Hour goes LIVE... with the bright and sunny skyline in Panama Beach, Florida at the Club La Vela. Cameras zip around the nightclub as Grand Prix Wrestling's rambunctious fans are ready for a sun soaked Power Hour cheer and chant for their favorites. We head ringside with, a noticeably beach-attired, Mike Tenay and James Mitchell standing by.
Mike Tenay: Ladies and gentlemen, and YouTube viewers at home, welcome to Power Hour..... Poolside! I am the Professor, Mike Tenay... and, of course, my broadcast colleague...
James Mitchell: Ah yes, your devilish co-host and voice of tonight's chaos... James Mitchell. Pass the SPF, Tenay!
Mike Tenay: Don't the let the change in scenery fool you, Sin-Min. We're still rolling with the best professional wrestling has to offer. In our main event, this evening. AJ Styles... Bryan Danielson. Easily two of the greatest, technically sound, professional wrestlers ever locking it up.
James Mitchell: Also... Rhea Ripley's making her debut in GPW taking on, the always vivacious, Lady Shani.
Mike Tenay: And, of course, with our ten... count 'em... TEN challengers in the ring. We're crowning an Internet Champion. Right now. Take it, Sterling!
We cut to the ring, where the Battle Royal, party of ten, are already in the ring. Sterling Silver with the call.
Sterling Silver: Ladies and gentlemen. Our opening match this evening. This is your 10 Man-Internet Championship Battle Royal!

James Mitchell: You said it, Professor!
Clutching the side-and-back of his head, The Prince of Queens stumbles to his feet and slowly heads to the back. Zack Sabre, Jr., now in the center of the ring, has his hand raised in victory and is given his new championship. SoCal Val, wearing a modestly sexy, and GPW branded, tankini, steps in the ring, microphone in hand.
SoCal Val: GPW fans. Your new Internet Champion! Zack. Congratulations.
Zack Sabre, Jr: Thank you...
SoCal Val: So the big question is... are you ready to be a fighting champion?
Zack Sabre, Jr: *scoffs* Of course... I am the most technically proficient wrestler in Grand Prix Wrestling. I'll fight anyone. I'll beat anyone.
SoCal Val: Perfect. In this post-match interview, Grand Prix Wrestling wants to announce that the Internet Championship is so much more than the secondary championship. The Internet Championship is an opportunity for the best up-and-coming GPW wrestlers to earn a chance at the Worlds Championship. Every week you defend your championship, and, after five successful defenses, the champion can vacate their belt for a shot at the Worlds Champion. After each win, the next challenge will be revealed.
A graphic appears on one of the large screens overlooking Club La Vela.
SoCal Val: So next week, you're taking on Roderick Strong. Congratulations once again, Zack. Welcome to the Internet Championship: Chase for Five.
Zack Sabre, Jr: Five challenges? No sweat.
Clutching his new Internet Championship, ZSJ heads to the back. Just as the champion heads up the entrance way, Nick Aldis and Tim Storm, Perfect Treasure, head out onto the stage. After an intense stare-down, Aldis gives a slight nod and ZSJ passes them. Both world class wrestlers make their way down to the ring, The National Treasure beckons for Val to hand him the microphone then brushes her off out of the ring.
Nick Aldis: Just as I said at United. We're done waiting for our shot. Tim Storm. Former Worlds Champion. Built stronger than a nuclear bunker and just as destructive... Doesn't get a phone call. The National Treasure. Again, multiple-time world champion, everywhere I've been. Nothing. From Ethan Carter, to the losers in the insect masks. Not one phone call to either of us when Shaun Clarke rolled through the call list on his cellphone. Nothing... Not for Destiny's Gauntlet. Not for United. Which again. Main Evented by a bearded fat guy and three lucha-wannabes! It's a slap to the face that myself... Tim Storm... and our third friend will not stand for. We will not be disrespected. Perfect Treasure will beat anyone GPW wants to put in front of us... We're gonna take the tag team belts from Steen and Generico. We're gonna take every belt Grand Prix Wrestling has to offer. We three are taking over! Bank on Perfect Treasure!
James Mitchell: Perfect Treasure making their presence known.
Mike Tenay: And they mentioned a third man, Sin-Min, who possibly could Aldis and Storm bring in to take over Grand Prix Wrestling?
We cut backstage, where SoCal Val is standing by with Grand Prix Wrestling's Worlds Champion, ECIII. Val attempts to go into her intro schpeel, but is quickly cut off by ECIII.
ECIII: Thank you Val. I know I'm great, and I told you... and I told everyone else that I was taking what's rightfully mine at United. I told you I was going to beat Mr. Spooky, Scary Gothboy. I told you I would be Worlds Champion. And this championship takes it rightful place on my shoulder. On the pedestal... in the bright lights. Not in some darkened room lit by candles and some shitty music ripping off Depeche Mode or something... Jetsetting around the world, representing ECIII as the best in professional wrestling. Coming back here every 30 days to be contractually defended.
SoCal Val: So what's next? Possibly a trilogy with End or a new challenger for Beach Brawl?
ECIII: I don't care, Val. I will slap down any trash GPW puts in front of me. The only important thing is I'm going back to the Marriot, on the beach, and continuing the party. Val, if you want to stop slumming it with these gross marks. Room 689.
SoCal Val: Ugh. Thank god... Sick of these disgusting losers. Tenay, Mitchell... You're on your own.
SoCal Val drops the microphone loudly, and quite brattily, on stage and heads off with our Worlds Champion, ECIII.
Mike Tenay: Uh... what?
James Mitchell: Looks like Val bailed on us and hooked up with ECIII.
Mike Tenay: Who's going to interview for us?
James Mitchell: Come back Val! Or take me with you? I'd rather party than hang out with these gross marks, too!!!
Mike Tenay: What? Sin-Min, shut up! We better get back to the action before anyone else decides to leave.
Sterling Silver: Our next match, scheduled for one fall! Lady Shani vs. Rhea Ripley!
Lady Shani vs. Rhea Ripley
The match begins with Lady Shani challenging Rhea Ripley to a test of strength, that totally backfires from Ripley's sheer, raw power. Ripley dominates the early goings of the match, but Shani takes control of the match when the action spills to the ringside area. Shani takes control of the match, but after an errant attempt at a sunset flip, Rhea takes back control of the match. After a wild crossbody, Ripley hits the Riptide for a two count. Rhea goes to the top rope, Shani ducks out of the way and hits her dreaded Samoan Driver. Rhea kicks out. Shani, again, takes her up for her Samoan Driver. This time getting the one, two, three.Winner – Lady Shani
Sterling Silver: And your winner... Lady Shani!!!
Mike Tenay: Rhea Ripley looked to dominate the early goings of the match, but that experience Lady Shani has was too much for her.
James Mitchell: New blood bubbling up in the Women's Division, now that The Killer Queen has taken out her biggest competition, Professor!
Mike Tenay: It will be interesting to see who steps up to Madison Rayne in the coming weeks.
We cut backstage to Bryan Danielson getting some hindu squats in. As he's getting mentally and physically pumped for tonights main event. “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles walks up. The two shoot respectful glances at each other, before AJ makes his way past and to the ring.
Sterling Silver: Ticking down to the last few minutes of Power Hour. Here is your main event! Phenomenal Challenge! “The Phenomenal” AJ Styles vs. “The American Dragon” Bryan Danielson!!!
AJ Styles vs. Bryan Danielson
AJ Styles brings the action to Danielson early on with a barrage of offense, going for a quick pin after a particularly brutal discus lariat, followed by locking in a Calf Killer. Danielson attempts to roll out of the ring, but does little to help his situation. After a bit more offense AJ throws Danielson back out of the ring and both me brawl at ringside, near the pool. Danielson finally gains control and throws AJ back in the ring and ties him up in Cattle Mutliation! The American Dragon goes for the kill, but AJ takes everything thrown at him. Out of desperation, Danielson throws AJ in the corner, AJ runs up turnbuckle and hits Danielson with a beautiful crossbody and rollup. 1. 2. 3!Winner – AJ Styles
“Get Ready to Fly” echos throughout the Club La Vela as Styles celebrates his victory. Danielson argues with the referee about a fast count.
James Mitchell: Outta nowhere! The Phenomenal One picks up a shocking win over Bryan Danielson.
Mike Tenay: And it looks like Danielson isn't too happy with the way it turned out, Sin-Min. I'm sure everyone was hoping for a match of the ages, and we didn't quite get it tonight.
AJ heads over the fans in celebration as Danielson continues to plead his case.
Mike Tenay: And with that, thank you for joining us for Power Hour, Live on YouTube! Next week: New Internet Champion, Zack Sabre, Jr faces Roderick Strong for the title. Drew McIntyre takes on former Worlds Heavyweight Champion, Tommy End. And who will answer Perfect Treasure's tag team open challenge?
