#64 - Power Hour on MTV
(Year 2 - Month 1 - Week 1)
Welcome back to POWER HOUR on MTV! This is Dynamo Powerhouse Wrestling! This is the spot for the hottest pro wrestling in the world! Power Hour, as always, comes to you live from our portable arena the DPW FlexZone where we are kicking off our second year with a bang! Tonight’s Main Event will determine the FIRST EVER MTV CHAMPION and we also expect to hear a reaction from DPW Boys Champion Absolute Ricky Starks after being unceremoniously attacked by new 2-time DPW Champion Galloway following the Champion of Champions Tournament at NIGHT OF CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS!
In-Ring Segment: DPW Commissioner Rowdy Roddy Piper is on the stage at the entrance curtain underneath the
FlexTron standing next to a pedestal displaying the brand-new
MTV Championship Title belt. “Welcome to
Power Hour on MTV! Welcome to a new era in Dynamo Powerhouse Wrestling, and as the DPW Commissioner I’m proud to announce the new television title, the
MTV Title, that will be awarded in tonight’s main event! Also, it will be defended every single week on MTV!” Who will be fighting for the title tonight? “I
just so happened to spill some ink onto this
open contract here and when I cleaned up the mess, it
just so happens that the ink stained the contract in a perfect facsimile of my signature, so I figured, what the heck, I’ll just leave it.” The crowd’s reaction is mixed. “But then who, just who will be my opponent for this brand-spankin-new title belt right next to me? The
Hot Rod has never stepped foot inside a Powerhouse Wrestling ring as a competitor, who thinks they have what it takes, eh?” Nobody seems to be answering the call. “Nobody, eh? Well, then, maybe ol’ Hot Rod will just have to proclaim himself the champion since there doesn’t seem to be a single schmuck back in the locker room that can take me? Nobody?” The crowd has begun to boo the Commissioner. This must be a conflict of interest, him competing for the title! The boos mount until a big pop as someone steps through the curtain to shut the loudmouth commissioner up. It’s
“Superfly” Jimmy Snuka who snatches the microphone from Piper, “You got a lot of nerve putting yourself in the title match, Commissioner–” Piper snatches the mic back, “Nerve? Nerve? Hey, brother, I thought our beef was settled years ago, I thought you climbed riiiight back up into that tree you fell from and hit your head, right? That’s what makes you think crazy things, and do crazy things, right? Like stepping up to Hot Rod, live on MTV and taking his microphone?” Piper swings at Snuka, Snuka swings at Piper, DPW officials are pulling the men apart and coconuts are flying up into the air. Where did those come from? Anyway, it’s going to be an electric encounter in our main event tonight as Rowdy Roddy Piper and Superfly Jimmy Snuka go one-on-one to determine the inaugural
MTV Champion! Stay tuned!
Backstage Segment: In the dark hallways backstage,
PME is getting a pre-match pep-talk from their mentor, the mysterious masked man trolling the boiler rooms beneath the arena known to PME only as
The Phantom of the FlexZone, who has promised the duo that he will train them to become
DPW Tag Team Champions. “I’ve arranged two more world-class opponents for you boys tonight. You will do as I have instructed. You will take them out and you will soon prove that with my help, the sky's the limit. You’ll be holding tag team gold in no time.”
Philly C raises his voice, “Do we really have to do all you said? Everything?”
The Phantom looks down at his protege and a scowl of disgust creeps from the edges of his white half-mask, “Everything. We’re sending a message to–” The Phantom stops himself, “sending a message to all the teams that stand in my way. I mean, our way.
Your way.”
Marino opens his mouth to say something and The Phantom snaps, “Go! Now! Do as I have instructed! Get ‘em, boys!” And the men head through the curtain to fulfill their master’s twisted demands.
Pre-Match: PME enter through the curtain, no longer wearing their usual colorful ring gear and no longer dancing and posing for the crowd; their training is becoming more and more evident as the weeks go by, they are serious about this quest for tag team gold. They slide into the ring and stare down their opponents who are already waiting in the ring. The ring announcer is still announcing the team of
Steinborn & Stone as Marino T and Philly C jump start the match and begin beating on the men, the ref gets two men out to the apron and calls for the bell.
Philly Marino Experience
[Philly C & Marino T]
vs.
Keith Steinborn &
Tom “Rocky” Stone
Result: PME d. Steinborn & Stone when Marino Tenaglia pins Steinborn following SUNSET DREAMS.
Post-Match: Ding ding ding ding ding! The timekeeper is going nuts on the ring bell as PME continues their beatdown on Steinborn & Stone. Philly C looks at Marino T and they nod at each other, committing to following the orders of their master. The duo drapes the two men over the ropes from the apron and smashes both men with a
HEATSEEKER PILEDRIVER down onto the bare arena floor! A puddle of blood is pooling on the cold concrete with an ivory incisor or two swimming in it. Steinborn & Stone have lost their front teeth! What a gruesome scene! It appears that PME’s mission is complete as they leave their victims lying motionless at ringside and return back to the depths beneath the
FlexZone for further training with their mysterious masked mentor. What message are they trying to send? And to whom?
Backstage Interview: BUSSY is backstage at the
DPW Interview Set and
Allie Katch opens, “BUSSY is ready and willing to compete for the DPW tag team titles, we hit a snag two weeks ago against
The Kinkdom but–”
Effy cuts her off and continues, “but we’re going to reach around, come from behind, and show everyone the goods.” Allie responds, “Sure, something like that.” Effy finishes, “BUSSY will be waiting for our next opportunity to blow everyone–” Allie adds, “Away! Blow everyone away!” Effy winks at the camera, “Right.” The lights in the Interview Set flicker for a moment before BUSSY leaves giving Effy an uneasy feeling.
Locker Room Promo: Brody King is back in the locker room taping up his fists, “
Sefa Fatu, whatever you wanna be called now,
The United Empire is dead. It’s gone, but you are still responsible for your actions. You attacked me. You attacked my friends. I don’t care that your cabin burned down and your friends can’t play with you anymore, I’m going to show you what happens when you anger the wrong dog. You’re gonna get bit.”
Pre-Match: Big Bad Brody King makes his way to the ring and he’s ready for a fight. His opponent steps out onto the stage, Sefa Fatu is no longer attached to The United Empire and he’s beginning his own path of destruction. How will
SeFa fare without
Aussie Open or R
ohit Raju to bail him out of a tight spot?
Big Bad
Brody King
vs.
The Samoan Serial Killer
SeFa
Result: Brody King d. SeFa by pinfall following a GONZO BOMB
Post-Match: Brody King proves who’s big and who’s bad leaving his now Empire-less foe to go away, lick his wounds, and undoubtedly plot some heinous revenge against Brody and any of his associates for suffering such a humiliating defeat live on MTV.
The Samoan Serial Killer SeFa is one to watch out for.
Video Promo: Jim Cornette is in his luxury suite on a caribbean cruise, but he’s not been enjoying his vacation. Not since one of his
Tag Team Champions got lost at sea. Cornette hangs up his telephone, “I’ve been on the phone with the coast guard, the marines, the local fishermen,
Steve Zisou for the love of God, trying to get news.
Boner Bob has gone overboard and he hasn’t turned up. I’ve been waiting and waiting–” the phone rings and Cornette frantically answers it, “Hello?! Oh,
Paul, it’s you. Thanks for returning my call — No, we haven’t found him yet — well, that’s why I called. I got a business proposition for you —
Vader is still for hire, isn’t he? — That’s what I thought, and do you still keep in contact with your
old boys? — You do? Well, I’ll meet you at the FlexZone next week and we’ll talk business. And I’d like the Road Warriors to take out those perverts Taven & Bennett, and maybe I won’t even need Vader’s services — See you next week, Paul.” Cornette suddenly realizes that the camera was still rolling, “What? Hey! You gotta delete that tape!
You can’t air that!” Fade to black.
In-Ring Segment: DPW Boys Champion Ricky Starks heads down the aisle carrying a microphone in one hand and his coveted Boys Title belt in his other. Ricky opens, “We were having a great night last week, weren’t we? Everything was going great until someone decided not to play nice with others. I’m referring of course to
Big Daddy Drew– or, I’m sorry,
GALLOWAY. I’d hate to anger the champ since I know he will kick you in the
yambag for no reason whatsoever,” Ricky winces as he remembers the unsolicited low-blow
The Stroke Daddy suffered at
NIGHT OF CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS last week. “Absolute Ricky Starks could have been in the
C.O.C. Tournament– make that should have, so I think it's not truly settled yet who the best of the best is. Galloway, the Boys Champion is calling you out. Absolute Ricky Starks. Galloway. Champion vs. Champion.
SLAMALAMADINGDONG!” The crowd goes crazy, everyone wants to see who is the real champion of champions, “And don’t think I’m the only person you p*ssed off last week,” music hits and
Warhorse enters the stage and joins Ricky Starks in the ring. Starks hands Warhorse the mic, “
Drew, you screwed me. You screwed Ricky. You screwed the fans of Dynamo Powerhouse Wrestling. And you screwed yourself. I may be suffering the effects of your cowardice–” Warhorse pushes the hair off his forehead revealing a large scar from Galloway’s attack with the DPW Title belt last week, “but I’m not letting you get away with this! You screwed yourself because you put a target on your back and now you got me, you got Ricky,
AJ, everyone is gunning for you. Do you have the yams to show up next week and answer our challenges?” Ricky Starks poses with his Boys Title and Warhorse does the most vigorous headbang he’s capable of given his injuries; these men have laid down the challenge to
DPW Champion Galloway. How will he respond?
Backstage Promo: Claudio Castagnoli is backstage at the DPW Interview Set. “It seems everyone has forgotten about
King Claudio. That’s right, I won an 8-man tournament to become the
inaugural Dynamo Pro Heavyweight Champion. That’s in the record books. I held that title when
Dynamo Powerhouse Wrestling was formed and I defended it on the first DPW pay-per-view event
UNDISPUTED. Why wasn’t Claudio in the
Champion of Champions Tournament? It’s a conspiracy. I may have to make a date with one
Mr. Galloway and see who really can lay claim to
Champion of Champions, because I don’t think that Warhorse and Ricky Starks are the only ones coming away from
NIGHT OF CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS with more questions than answers.” Claudio looks directly into the camera, “Watch out, Galloway.”
Pre-Match: Claudio Castagnoli makes his way out to the ring, the self-proclaimed
forgotten champion, we haven’t seen Claudio since he lost a #1 Contenders match against
Diamond Dallas Page on
Power Hour several months ago and he has a legitimate argument to face
DPW Champion Galloway, but there are several other contenders in his way. Claudio’s opponent this evening is powerhouse wrestling OG
Dan the Dad. Dan the Dad suffered terrible injuries a couple months ago after getting squashed in
Big Van Vader’s return to DPW, hopefully Dan is at the top of his game to compete against a former Heavyweight Champion this evening.
Former Heavyweight Champion
Claudio Castagnoli
vs.
Dan The Dad
Claudio makes short work of Dan the Dad. Dan gets walloped by several European uppercuts before being drilled down into the mat with Claudio’s brutalizing NEUTRALIZER and the fat lady has sung.
Result: Claudio d. Dan the Dad by pinfall following NEUTRALIZER
Post-Match: Claudio heads back up the aisle and as he makes it to the stage he’s greeted through the curtain by
#1 Contender “The Ace” AJ Styles screaming, “Me!
Moi! I’m the #1 contender!” Claudio says, “Listen here, AJ, I’m not taking your title shot, I’m just saying that I deserve it more than you do.” AJ is getting fired up, “You think so? You think so? You think you proved something tonight by beating
Dan the Dad?” Dan the Dad is currently being ushered backstage by medical personnel. “I can do that, too. Watch me. Next week, I’m gonna
kill Dan the Dad. Just
destroy him–” Dan the Dad can be seen protesting to what he’s hearing but the medical staff is having none of it, “I’m gonna bury Dan the Dad on
Power Hour and then other than, well, you having been
Heavyweight Champion already, you’re no better than me, you got that?” Claudio doesn’t really follow the logic, but whatever, Styles is a bit of a nutjob but he can certainly take care of himself in the ring. Dan the Dad needs to rest up.
Promo Video: The Kinkdom is backstage at the DPW Interview Set.
Kevin Sullivan stops making out with
Maria Kanellis-Sullivan to say, “Ah, my boys have wormed– I mean, worked their way to this #1 contendership and they’re going to show
Nugenix Express who rules the tag team division in DPW when
Matt Taven and Michael Bennett challenge
Cornette's losers for the
Tag Team belts in 3 weeks at
SLAMALAMADINGDONG I.” He gropes at Maria and sticks his tongue back down her throat as Bennett continues, “And we don’t care who we have to demolish between now and then.
Road Warriors? Who do these guys think they are,
Mel Gibson?” Taven interjects, “I only have one question for these Road Warriors: where’d you get your gear? I love the
metal studs.” Kevin Sullivan blurts out, “Oh, yes! And the
collars! I’ve been wanting to get one for my
Princess of Darkness,” Kevin slaps Maria’s derriere. Bennett finishes, “We’re gonna put the brakes on those Road Warriors and take out Nugenix Express and take those belts!” Taven ponders, “Do you think we could add little
spikes to the title belts?” They bicker about leather straps, etc. as we head back out to the ring.
Pre-Match: Jake Something boasts an impressive record in DPW. He’d be within grasp of DPW gold if only he’d beaten AJ Styles in their contenders match last month, but he’s still fighting to show everyone that Jake Something is a force to be reckoned with. Jake awaits his opponent. Big pop for
Danhausen as he makes his way to the ring. Danhausen has been having much success with
Ethan Page as
Goro Bros in the tag team division, but his impressive performance in the
C.O.C. (namely defeating longest reigning World Champion
Macho Man Randy Savage) has inspired Danhausen to keep in single’s contention here in DPW. Can his lucky streak continue?
Jake Something
vs.
Danhausen
Danhausen puts up a good fight tonight but Jake Something is a lot of man and he’s got a lot to prove. Danhausen tries his best but Jake Something misses no opportunity to show off his massive strength and power and Danhausen cannot compete with that tonight. Following one MFKR Something plants a foot over the chest of the face-painted one and ref counters a mercifully quick three.
Result: Something d. Danhausen by pinfall following MFKR
Post-Match: “What’s my name? SOMETHING!” rings throughout the
FlexZone as Jake stands tall above the fallen Danhausen. Jake doesn’t want to be left behind in this New Era in DPW and Danhausen will surely find success again soon, whether for the Tag Team Titles or maybe the new
MTV Title would be nice to add to the
collectionhausen.
Backstage Segment: Bobby “The Brain” Heenan is strolling through the corridors backstage. Heenan appeared on an early episode of
WPW Power Hour managing
Jim Cornette in the
B1 CLIMAX tournament. Who is he backstage to see? As he’s walking past a pile of trash and rusted audio equipment he hears a rustling beneath a heap of wires. As he leans closer to investigate he’s suddenly startled backwards as he hears, “
SYSTEM REBOOT! SYSTEM REBOOT!” A figure stands up from the mangled debris and addresses Bobby Heenan, “Are you my… father?” Heenan looks around, “Are you talking to me?” The figure replies, “My system has been rebooted. You are my father.” Heenan is confused, “What? I don’t know what you’re on about, leave me alone!” As Heenan backs away he is followed by a–
now evidently nude–Kenny Omega having another existential meltdown. “Father! Come back!”
Locker Room Segment: Absolute Ricky Starks is in the locker room talking with Warhorse. “
Galloway had better show up next week and face what’s coming to him!” Warhorse responds, "Ricky, he’s all yours at
SLAMALAMADINGDONG, but when he shows his face next week I’m going to
RULE ASS all over that
backstabber!” Ricky opens his locker and taped to the inside is a blank business card in the distinctive silhouette of the world-famous
Playboy Bunny. “Warhorse, did you see who put this in my locker?” Warhorse is intrigued as well, “No, I didn’t see. What does it mean?”
The Boys Champion looks at the symbol, “I wish I knew.”
MTV Musical Segment: Cyndi Lauper plays
“Girls Just Want to Have Fun” for the live crowd in the
FlexZone and to the delight of old-school wrestling fans worldwide, hearkening back to a bygone era where pro-wrestling ruled on
MTV, and now it does again!
Pre-Match: Commissioner Rowdy Roddy Piper signed himself into this main event title match which just doesn’t seem fair. The crowd boos the Hot Rod as he walks down the aisle for the first time as a competitor in Dynamo Powerhouse Wrestling. He soaks up the jeers from the crowd and focuses his energy on the task at hand: win the
MTV Title by any means necessary. His opponent makes his entrance for his debut in DPW,
“Superfly” Jimmy Snuka being valeted by his
girlfriend Nancy. She escorts him to the ring where he climbs the turnbuckle and poses for the crowd, flashbulbs exploding all over the
FlexZone. This is going to be an old-school brawl! Let’s get it on!
MTV CHAMPIONSHIP
Challenger
“Rowdy” Roddy Piper
vs.
Challenger
“Superfly” Jimmy Snuka
w/ Nancy
Roddy Piper digs into his arsenal of tricks, pulling out all the classics: eye pokes, back rakes, and smashing Snuka around the ringside area knowing that the referee would likely hesitate to disqualify him during such a monumental match. Snuka hits Piper with a devastating samoan drop which knocks the Commissioner silly for a moment but once Piper hooks in his signature SLEEPERHOLD it’s all over and we have our first TV champion!
Result: Roddy Piper d. Jimmy Snuka by knockout with a SLEEPERHOLD to become the inaugural MTV Champion
Post-Match: Jimmy Snuka’s girlfriend Nancy is smacking him in the face trying to get him to wake up.
Commissioner Rowdy Roddy Piper is holding his
MTV Title belt up claiming supremacy over Snuka as somebody walks up from behind him and taps him on the shoulder. Piper turns to be face-to-chest with none other than
Gorilla Monsoon! Monsoon has a mic, “Piper! You violated your commissioner contract the moment you signed your name to that championship match contract!” Piper is yelling back, “What are you talking about?” Monsoon continues, "Piper, the
DPW Board of Directors will not stand for this! You are being stripped of your commissionership!” Piper is furious, “What? You can’t do that? Who do you think you are?!” Gorilla Monsoon subtly smirks, “Who do I think I am?” “Yeah!” Gorilla Monsoon scoops Roddy Piper up over his chest and plants him in the middle of the ring with a giant body slam! “I’m the
new Dynamo Powerhouse Wrestling Commissioner! That’s who!” Piper is writing in pain next to his
MTV Title belt and the crowd is going wild for this turn of events!
Tune in next week for another electric Power Hour on MTV!
