North Atlantic Promo Corner:

*We open up with Kevin Sullivan and the Army of Darkness standing before the N.A.W. logo- Sullivan, the Purple Haze, Maha Singh, Luna Vachon, and their manager Father Jim Mitchell. Sullivan and Vachon are proudly wearing their title belts.*

Kevin Sullivan: "No one believed me when I told them that darkness was falling on the northern states, yet here we are! The Army of Darkness already holds half of the championships in this promotion... but we're just getting started! The Army will grow... the Sinister Minister has promised me that he has a few choice wrestlers on his short list of recruits... and I trust that man's judgment more than any other man! Let this be your final warning! The power of the Shadow grows stronger and will soon dominate this place!"

Luna Vachon: "I am the most dominant woman in this promotion... in this country... in this whole sport! If any of you little princesses wish to put your health on the line... your sanity... your very LIVES... you know where you can find us!"

*The group gets in a good, evil laugh as the camera fades out.*

***

*The camera opens on "The Big D" Dick Hutton and his manager, "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart, standing before the N.A.W. logo...*

Hutton: "You know, Jimmy... it takes a lot of guts for someone to stand up to the Big D. It might even be impressive if it wasn't so damn sad!"

Hart: "I know, baby! I know!"

Hutton: "The Big D is a former World Champion! For a little punk like this so-called Masked Superstar to tell The Big D... to tell ME... that he's going to have to get some wins on his resume here to get a shot at his title..."

*Hutton falls silent for a beat.*

Hutton: "No one disrespects The Big D like that, Jimmy! No one! Superstar wants to see what The Big D can do, Jimmy. Make it happen! Find someone who thinks they can take the Big D! Find someone who wants the Big D! Make it happen!"

Hart: "Don't you worry about it, baby! I got it all sorted out!"

*Hart and Hutton have a good laugh as we fade out.*

***

*Standing in front of the N.A.W. logo as we open up is the stable known as The Desperados- "Dirty" Dutch Mantell and the Long Riders (Scott & Bill Irwin)*

Mantell: "Now, I know some of you out there see a group of rough, tough hombres like the three of us here and you think 'What are they doing here?' and so I'm gonna take pity on all of you! We're here to beat the tar out of anybody that gets stupid enough to get in the ring with us... and then we're gonna take all the gold we can get from this excuse for a promotion and take it all back home where real, honest-to-God Americans live! This part of the country is overrun with soft, silly little men who wouldn't know how to be a champion if they had one of their silly little books to explain it 'em! This should be like taking candy from a baby!"

Bill Irwin: "Hell, Dutch! This is gonna be more than we've had in ages!"

Scott Irwin: "I can't wait to put them tiny little Englishmen in their place and take their gold!"

*The Desperados laugh and mean mug for the camera as we fade out.*

***

*We open to see The Fabulous Ones- Stan Lane & Steve Keirn- standing before the N.A.W. logo.*

Keirn: "Well, look at this! The Fabulous Ones have finally come north! It's about time, as I'm sure you'll all agree!"

Lane: "Ha! We're here for one thing: tag team gold! Of course, all the lovely ladies in the area might just keep us around. We're here to party and to win gold!"

Keirn: "We're REALLY good at partying, too. Almost as good as we are at winning wrestling matches... but not as good as we are at winning championships!"

Lane: "Bring it on! Let's party!"

Keirn: "Party all night long, baby!"

*The Fabs smile and show off their physiques for the camera as we fade out.*

-See you soon for our first official show!-

North Atlantic Wrestling TV- Episode 1: Reich Family Pavilion, West Hartford, CT

The show opens with footage from earlier in the day, with many excited fans lined up at the doors to get into the venue. There is much hooting and hollering. The crowd seems hot for this first episode of North Atlantic Wrestling TV. Following that, we cut to our broadcast team at their table, ready to go:

"Mad" Mike Cantrell: "Hello everyone and welcome to North Atlantic Wrestling! Coming to you tonight from the Reich Family Pavilion in West Hartford... not a long trip from our headquarters in Bristol. Maybe we'll get a visit from the boys in the head office tonight. What do you think, Frankie? Ladies and gentlemen, as always... my broadcast partner Frankie Saddler!"

Frankie Saddler: "Mike! It's good to be back. As for a visit from the boys in the office? I've already seen Commissioner Teddy Long here tonight. Pretty sure he was prowling around catering. Anyway. It's going to be one heck of a show tonight! I can't wait!"

Cantrell: "Alright, then. Let's get started. Let's go down to the ring so our colleague, the lovely and talented Miss Cindy Shepherd, can do her magic!"

*We now go ringside for the introductions of our first match...*

1) Chaz & Tugboat Taylor vs. The Pitbulls (Pitbull #1 & Pitbull #2; w/ Al Getz)

Chaz Taylor and Pitbull #1 are in the ring to start us off. Pitbull #1 looks to try a Russian leg sweep, but Chaz counters it easily, hitting a cartwheel and superkick combo. A running corner splash puts #1 in a bad position and tags in Tugboat. The big man immediately goes for the ANCHOR DROP but #1 kicks out! Tugboat follows up with a knee drop and another lateral press, but Pitbull #1 kicks out again. A backbreaker by the big man again puts #1 in a bad place, as Chaz comes in to follow up with an enzuigiri that doesn't quite do as much damage as he'd hoped. Chaz whips Pitbull #1 into the ropes, looking for a back body drop (telegraphed) and it rocked by a big piledriver as a counter! Pitbull #2 is in to capitalize with the SUPER BOMB. Chaz is covered as Tugboat tries for the save only to be blocked by Pitbull #1 but it proves unnecessary as Chaz forcefully kicks out! At ringside, Al Getz is livid and berates the referee. The Pitbulls follow with a long string of offense on Chaz, with another near fall after a spinning heel kick. Pitbull #1 is back in the ring with an overhead belly-to-belly that sends Chaz trying to make that desperation tag, but he's dragged back into the ring and hit with another belly-to-belly! Pitbull #@ tags in and Chaz is subjected to The Guillotine again! #2 goes for a flying tackle in the corner, but Chaz dodges it, hitting a dropkick that Pitbull #2 just shrugs off! A spinning heel kick puts Chaz down again and Pitbull #1 comes back in with a running power slam and a pin attempt. Once again, Tugboat tries for the save but Chaz kicks out, totally refusing to lie down and die! Annoyed at this point, the Pitbulls hit *another* SUPER BOMB on Chaz and this ends the match!

Winners of the Match: The Pitbulls (w/ Al Getz)!

*Getz and the Pitbulls make their way over to have a quick chat with the legendary Gordon Solie after the match*

Solie: "Welcome, gentlemen. Quite an auspicious first match for North Atlantic Wrestling, and quite a spirited contest between you and your opponents I'd say-"

Getz: "Spirited contest? Spitired contest?!? What match were *you* watching, moron! My Pitbulls but a beating on those clowns! Hell, Tugboat Taylor needs to be nominated for Father of the Year after leaving his son in there alone the whole time to get his ass fed to him! What a joke!"

Solie: "Now, hold on a minute! I wouldn't go that far!"

*Getz grabs Solie by the lapels of his sport coat and gets in his face*

Getz: "And that's why you're just an announcer! Why, I oughtta-"

*Before anything unpleasant happens to Gordon, the Taylors storm into the area and start a brawl with the Pitbulls. After the chaos is sorted out, Gordon listens to his earpiece and states:*

Solie: "Well, it appears that Mr. Teddy Long feels these two teams need to blow off more steam. A rematch has been penciled in for next week, ladies and gentlemen!"

*We return to ringside for our next match, with Al Getz once again accompanying his man*

2) Big Bully Busick (w/ Al Getz) vs. Nacho Barrera

The match starts with a contest of strength that Busick easily dominates, which is followed by a big bearhug from the Bully that Nacho just can't escape. This match is over!

Winner of the Match: Big Bully Busick (w/ Al Getz)!

Cantrell: "Well, Frankie, I gotta say that I wasn't expecting this Busick fella to dominate Nacho so easily!"

Saddler: "Really, Mike? Really? Where've you been?"

Cantrell: "I was... preoccupied with some personal matters, old friend. Anyway, it seems this Al Getz has put together quite a crew!"

Saddler: "Fair enough. Let's see what's next, shall we?"

*We head back to ringside for the introductions of...*

3) "The Virtuosa" Deonna Purazzo vs. Heidi Howitzer

Heidi bullrushes Purazzo and looks to end things quickly, trying for a Vader Bomb, but Purazzo is too quick and counters with a Flatliner! Howitzer kicks out! Deonna follows up with the FUJIWARA ARMBAR! Howitzer taps out very quickly! After the match, Howitzer and Purazzo exchange some words before smiling and shaking hands. Heidi then surprises everyone in attendance by pulling Deonna into a hug and licking her face!

Winner of the Match: Deonna Purazzo!

*Purazzo makes her way over to Gordon Solie for a few words*

Solie: "A great debut here tonight, Miss Purazzo! Congratulations!"

Purazzo: "Thank you, Gordon. Always nice to see you. Let this be a warning to any of the ladies here in North Atlantic: I'm going to be the champion and it doesn't matter who I have to go through to get there!"

Solie: "You've shown us that you're serious, for sure. Any words for the current champion Luna Vachon?"

Purazzo: "Oh, do I! In this part of the country, I think the fans have more respect for a wrestler who can get things done on their own. Luna Vachon needed a trio of freaks and the slimiest manager in the business to get that title. She thinks they'll be able to help her keep it, too. Tell me something, Luna. When I've locked on the Fujiwara Armbar and you drop the title to me... who are you going to blame? Your Prince of Darkness? Kevin Sullivan? Jim Mitchell? Or are you going to step up and admit that I was just better than you, Luna? I can't wait to see for myself!"

Cantrell: "Strong words for our North Atlantic Women's Champion Luna Vachon from Deonna Purazzo here tonight, Frankie. Whatcha think, my friend?"

Saddler: "First episode and we're *already* looking at some intense rivalries already brewing. I love it, personally."

*Back to ringside for our next match...*

4) Bad News Allen vs. "Magnificent" Don Muraco

Bad News jumps onto Muraco with some hammering forearms and a scoop slam. A short string of offense follows, but Muraco shrugs it off and hits an over-the-shoulder backbreaker and a little offense of his own. Bad News comes back to try a pump kick to the stomach that the Magnificent One dodges. Muraco follows with another string on offense that Bad News eventually ends with a clothesline that causes Muraco to roll out of the ring to take a quick breather. Bad News goes out after him, looking to waffle the Hawaiian with a steel chair! The ref tries to stop him, but Allen shoves him aside and plasters Muraco with the chair anyway! Muraco is rolled back into the ring and Allen's offense continues for a bit until Muraco gets a second wind with a few moves before Allen is sent into the ropes. Allen rebounds into a swinging neckbreaker by Muraco that knocks him flat! The HAWAIIAN HAMMER follows only to surprise everyone when Allen kicks out! Magnificent Muraco picks Allen up and drops him with a second HAWAIIAN HAMMER to end the match!

Winner of the Match: Don Muraco!

5) Playboy International ("Prettyboy" Doug Somers & "Playboy" Buddy Rose; w/ Sherri Martel) vs. The Killer Bees (B. Brian Blair & Jim Brunzell)

Somers and Brunzell start us off, locking up and struggling for a beat before Somers hits some chops to the chest and sends Brunzell into the ropes. Brunzell rebounds into a shoulder tackle. Buddy Rose comes in with a jumping back elbow on Brunzell that sends Jim out of the ring! Brunzell makes it back into the ring to break the referee's count, and Rose Hits The Jackpot before tossing Brunzell out of the ring again. Brunzell crawls back into the ring in time for Rose to hit the Bombs Away and a string of offense before Jim Brunzell makes a comeback with an inverted atomic drop! Brunzell continues on offense until having a body slam countered by Rose. Buddy gets a few hits in before Brunzell makes the hot tag bringing in Blair! Blair comes in on fire and puts the boots to Rose! The Playboy tries for the hot tag but is blocked! After a short exchange, Rose makes the hot tag to bring Somers back in. Somers drops Blair with an elbow smash and a near fall! After a short exchange leads to Blair going into the turnbuckles. Somers charges at him in the corner, but Blair moves and Somers smashes into the ringpost and Blair capitalizes with a cover! Brunzell jumps in and things completely break down. Brunzell and Blair gang up on Somers quite surprisingly, and end up getting disqualified! Somers and Rose celebrate their win with manager Sherri Martel for a moment before "Golden Boy" Dan Spivey rushes into the ring and blindsides Rose and Somers! The Bees and Spivey throw down on the Playboy and the Pretty Boy as Martel screams for help. The Grappler runs out to even the odds for his friends and there is utter chaos in the ring as all six men brawl! The entire security team is required to pull the men apart. With the dust settled, Commissioner Teddy Long appears at ringside to tell all the men involved that they will be participating in a special six-man tag team match as next week's main event!

Winners of the match: Playboy International (Rose & Somers)

Cantrell: "Ladies and gentlemen, it is my honor to welcome our friend and colleague, the legendary Jim Ross, to the commentary booth as we prepare to cap off tonight's incredible show with the main event: a TV Championship by "The Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan! J.R.? Welcome aboard!"

Jim Ross: "Thanks, Mike. Frankie. I'm happy to be here. It's been quite a night."

Saddler: "It has! Let's see who they lined up to take on Sullivan...."

*For the last time tonight, we join Miss Cindy at ringside for the introductions*

6) Mikey Whipwreck vs. "Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan (TV Champion; w/ James Mitchell)

Whipwreck starts us off with a Monkey Flip and a Russian leg sweep or two, causing Sullivan to roll outside to put some distance between himself and the challenger. Despite the crowd telling him not to, Whipwreck follows the champ out of the ring and the two men end up in a wild brawl! Sullivan gets the better of this situation and sends Whipwreck back into the ring in a heap. A double foot stomp from Sullivan leads to a pinning opportunity but Whipwreck barely survives and kicks out! Another double foot stomp leads to another string of offense from Sullivan ending with a release gutwrench that causes Mikey to bail out of the ring. Whipwreck barely manages to get back into the ring to end the ref's count and Sullivan goes for The Tree of Woe! Whipwreck suffers some more abuse before Sullivan hits the PILEDRIVER and goes for a cover. Maybe against his better judgment... Whipwreck kicks out! Sullivan is livid and sends Mikey out of the ring. The champion follows him out, perhaps getting cocky, and Mikey initiates a wild brawl. To the dismay of Jim Mitchell, Whipwreck gets the better of this one and rolls Sullivan back into the ring. Mikey's on fire, hitting a swinging neckbreaker and a Frankenmikey before pressing on with a WHIPPER-SNAPPER and a pin attempt! It looks like it's over for Kevin Sullivan but Jim Mitchell makes it into the ring and straight blasts Mikey with the Book of the Dead while the newly-arrived Luna Vachon distracts the ref! Regaining his composure, Sullivan capitalizes on his good fortune and hits Whipwreck with another PILEDRIVER, ending the match!

Winner of the Match & Still N.A.W. TV Champion: Kevin Sullivan!

Cantrell: "What an epic show to start us off! Wow."

J.R.: "Definitely a great way to introduce ourselves to the fans, for sure. A whole lot of drama bubbling up tonight, as well. I'm keen to see where some of this goes, guys."

Saddler: "Oh, yeah! Business is about to pick up!"

*The crew gets a good chuckle in as we sign off*

-The End-

TLDR...

North Atlantic Wrestling TV- Episode 2: Dodd Stadium, Norwich, CT

The show opens in the North Atlantic Wrestling offices in Bristol, CT. A.J. Costello and Commissioner Teddy Long are in the middle of a conversation. The men acknowledge the camera.

Costello: "Hey, everybody! Welcome back. So, I wanted to personally share something that I'm proud of: AS a veteran myself, I'm proud to announce that North Atlantic Wrestling is partnering with Vet Tix, an organization that secures tickets to great events for service members of all branches, veterans, and the families of troops that are KIA. From now on, a portion of our best seats will be reserved for those who have given so much for our country. Thanks, everyone. I've taken up enough of your time, so let's get on with the show."

"Mad" Mike Cantrell: "Big news from the man in charge, Frankie! Whatcha think?"

Frankie Saddler: "I think it's great, really. Speaking of great... it's gonna be an interesting night here in Norwich, Mike."

Cantrell: "Well, let's get started, then!"

*We now go ringside for our introductions of...*

1) Ilio DiPaolo vs. D'Lo Brown

D'Lo is the aggressive one in the opening moments of the match, starting a string of offense with an arm drag and a Samoan Drop Flapjack before landing a swinging side slam that sends DiPaolo out of the ring. Brown showboat just a bit too long and DiPaolo takes advantage and drags Brown out of the ring and slams him into the ring post! DiPaolo rolls Brown back into the ring and sets him up for the running head slam into the buckle and a string of offense. Brown takes a beating and ends up in a pinning predicament, but he kicks out. Brown continues to take a beating before being dropped by big right hands and another pinning predicament but he kicks out again! DiPaolo keeps pouring on the abuse, following a figure four armbar with a body slam and a pin attempt. The ref counts to three and this ends the match!

Winner of the Match: Ilio DiPaolo!

*After the match, Ilio approaches Brown and offers his hand in sportsmanship. D'Lo hesitates a moment before shaking the Italian's hand with a nod and a smile. This makes the fans happy, it seems.*

Cantrell: "Damn, Frankie. D'Lo Brown took quite a beating in that one. A very resilient man, I'd say."

Saddler: "D'Lo is going to go places, Mike. Mark my word."

*Back down to ringside for our next match...*

2) Princess Victoria vs. Rockin Robin

Princess Victoria and Rockin Robin struggle in the lock-up for a bit before Victoria gets the upper hand with a double-leg slingshot that causes Robin to roll out of the ring for some fresh air. Victoria goes out after her and the two brawl around a bit. Victoria gets the better of things and rolls Robin back into the ring. Victoria hits the flying double chop to put Robin down again, following that up with a body slam and a short string of offense before Robin is sent into the turnbuckles. Robin gets hit with a big kick in the corner and the ladies continue to battle. Victoria gets Robin into the corner, and puts her down with some tomahawk chops, and goes for a cover! The ref counts to three and this match is over!

Winner of the Match: Princess Victoria!

*Princess Victoria stops by to chat with Gordon Solie for a moment after her match*

Solie: "Princess Victoria, congratulations on tonight's impressive win."

Victoria: "Thank you, Gordon. It's always a pleasure chatting with you. If you don't mind, I have something I'd like to say, if I could?"

Solie: "By all means, continue."

Victoria: "Thanks again. Anyway... It's great being part of North Atlantic Wrestling, no doubt. I'm just excited about what I'm hearing in regard to some of the women who are in negotiations to come in and join us. Some great names that I can't wait to wrestle! It's going to be great. We have a great future ahead of us, Gordon!"

Solie: "I'm just as excited about these prospects as you are, Princess Victoria!"

*We return to the ringside area for Miss Cindy and her introductions of...*

3) Steve Corino vs. Mark Henry

Corino starts things off with a shoulder tackle and just bounces off of the big man, who retaliates by launching Corino into the turnbuckles. Henry charges into the corner, but Corino slips out of the way, causing Henry to crash into the corner and fall backward to the mat! Corino jumps on top of him for the cover but he can't keep the strong man down for the count. Corino follows through with OLD SCHOOL EXPULSION but can't keep Henry down. Henry is tossed out of the ring. Corino gives chase and the men get into it, brawling all over the ringside area. Once weapons get involved, a clearly frustrated Henry waffles Corino with a steel chair and the ref immediately calls for the bell, giving Corino the win with a DQ!

Winner of the Match (By DQ): Steve Corino!

Cantrell: "Not quite the debut that Mark Henry was looking to make, eh, Frankie?"

Saddler: "I'd say not, Mike. Still. The man definitely looks like he's no one to mess with!"

Cantrell: "That's a fact! So, our next match is a rematch from last week: the Taylors going up against Al Getz's Pitbulls again, Frankie. Thoughts?"

Saddler: "Last time out, they had a hell of a match and we didn't even get to see big Tugboat Taylor get inside the ropes, Mike. I'm expecting one hell of a show this week for sure!"

*Back to ringside for...*

4) The Taylors (Chaz & Tugboat Taylor) vs. The Pitbulls (#1 & #2; w/ Al Getz)

Pitbull #2 and Tugboat Taylor start us off with #2 trying a front face lock that Tugboat shrugs off, attempting chops to the chest of #2, who laughs them off with a flying tackle in the corner. Tugboat stands his ground, however, and starts a short string of offense with a power slam. Pitbull #2 gets a second wind and makes a comeback with an unbelievable gorilla press slam! Pitbull #1 is tagged in and Getz's men hit a drop toehold and flying elbow. Tugboat tries to tag Chaz into the match but fails. The Pitbulls continue dominating Tugboat for a bit before #1 tosses the big man out of the ring! Tugboat beats the count back into the ring, just into the waiting arms of Pitbull #2, and a SUPER BOMB! Taylor kicks out! This is followed by another SUPER BOMB as Chaz tries to get into the ring to break up the pin to no avail! This match is over!

Winners of the Match: The Pitbulls!

Cantrell: "Well. The Pitbulls just made a statement, wouldn't you say Frankie?"

Saddler: "They really did. The British Bulldogs had best be paying attention, Mike."

*Once more, we join the lovely Miss Cindy Shepherd as she introduces...*

5) Nord the Barbarian vs. The Cuban Assassin (w/ Fantasy)

Cuban Assassin starts things off with a clothesline that Nord ignores, hitting a one-arm body slam in retaliation! Nord looks like a broken record, hitting a power slam no less than four times in a row before landing the LEG DROP! He goes for a cover and gets the pinfall victory!

Winner of the Match: Nord the Barbarian!

Cantrell: "I'd be lying if I saw that one having a different outcome, Frankie."

Saddler: "Sure, Mike, but I didn't see it going down quite like that, though."

Cantrell: "Fair enough. Ready for tonight's main event, my friend? Playboy International will be joined by the Grappler as they face off against the Killer Bees and their Ally "Golden Boy" Danny Spivey. I predict it's going to be pure chaos."

Saddler: "I'm with you on that!"

*For the last time this evening, we go to Miss Cindy for...*

6) The Killer Bees (B.Brian Blair & Jim Brunzell) & "Golden Boy" Danny Spivey vs. Playboy International ("Playboy" Buddy Rose & "Pretty Boy" Doug Somers; w/ Sherri Martel) & The Grappler

Somers and Spivey face off to start, with Somers looking for a hair pull takedown that Spivey easily powers out of, hitting a clothesline in exchange. Somers tries to make it to his corner to tag out, but he fails as Spivey tags in Brunzell who follows up with a long string of offense. Once again, Somers looks to tag out but fails again! Brunzell tags in Blair. Blair goes for the SLEEPER! Buddy Rose gets into the ring and breaks things up, but Blair tags Spivey back into the match. Spivey hits the BULLDOG and goes for a pin, with the Grappler trying to make the save only to be blocked by Jim Brunzell! The ref counts to three and this match is over! In the aftermath, all six men seem to be fired up still, with Spivey & the Grappler getting in each other's faces. Things look tense as the show goes off the air....

Winners of the Match: The Killer Bees & Dan Spivey!

Cantrell: "That's all for tonight, folks! We look forward to seeing you all next week!

Saddler: "See you then!"

North Atlantic Wrestling TV- Episode 3: Total Mortgage Arena, Bridgeport, CT

The show opens with footage of some of North Atlantic Wrestling's roster visiting some of the attractions in the city, in particular the Barnum Museum. WE soon go to the broadcast booth to find our team ready to go!

"Mad" Mike Cantrell: "Hello one and all and welcome back to North Atlantic Wrestling! Tonight we are coming to you from Total Mortgage Arena in Bridgeport, Connecticut-"

Frankie Saddler: "The biggest city in the state, Mike!"

Cantrell: "True. Still not the capital, though."

Saddler: "What's that got to do with anything?"

Cantrell: "Nothing at all. Let's get the show started. We have a wrestler debuting for us tonight that I, for one, am very excited to see in action finally!"

*We go to ringside so we can get the first introductions for the night from Miss Cindy Shepherd*

1) Bad News Allen vs. Steve Corino

Corino starts off the match with an attempt at a disrespectful slap to the face, but Bad News blocks it and retaliates with a throat spike! A clothesline from Bad News sends Corino scuttling to the outside. There's a brawl on the outside that sees Bad News get the better of Corino before rolling him back into the ring and landing a jumping leg drop! Another clothesline from Allen turns into a short string of offense before Corino counters a head butt and tries a T-bone suplex, but Bad News is too strong and blocks the move. Yet another clothesline drops Corino and Bad News goes for a cover but doesn't get the three count. Corino is unceremoniously tossed out of the ring as Allen argues with the ref. Corino crawls back into the ring looking to break the count and Bad News hits him with another jumping leg drop! A long string of offense by Allen culminates with a running power slam that causes Corino to slip out of the ring, looking to catch a breather. A frustrated Steve Corino crawls back into the ring again and walks right into the GHETTO BLASTER! The crowd audibly gasps as Corino kicks out! An incensed Allen hits a piledriver to lead off on yet another string of offense that ends with a clothesline that sends Corino out of the ring again! Allen follows him out of the ring, but Corino is playing possum. He catches him on his way out and plants him into the Spanish Announce Team's table with a fisherman's suplex! Allen is out of it as Corino rolls him back into the ring, arguing with the ref the entire time, and follows by mounting the turnbuckles! Corino possibly takes too long to showboat, and Allen is back up to his feet. Bad News tosses Corino to the mat and he hits hard. Another GHETTO BLASTER and this match is over! As Bad News gets his hand raised in victory, Justin Credible rushes the ring and blindsided Allen with the Singapore Cane! Corino and Credible start putting the boots to Bad News as officials try to restore order until Abdullah the Butcher makes his way down to the ring to make the save for his friend Allen! Insanity follows for more than a few minutes until order is mostly restored! In the aftermath, Commissioner Teddy Long appears at the top of the ramp and declares that, if that's how the four men want to do things, they're just gonna have to meet again next week in a tag team match (Playa)!

Winner of the Match: Bad News Allen!

Cantrell: "Well. That's definitely one way to open a show, eh, Frankie?"

Saddler: "I was not expecting anything like that to happen so early in the show, Mike. I'll be honest, though: I love it!"

Cantrell: "Gonna be hard to follow that, that's for sure! Speaking of following that...."

*We go back to ringside for the introductions for the next match*

2) The Fabulous Ones (Stan Lane & Steve Keirn) vs. Nacho Barrera & The Cuban Assassin (w/ Fantasy)

Keirn and the Assassin start for their respective teams. Keirn opens up the match with a punch to the Assassin's throat and a wrenching toehold that sends the Assassin lunging to the corner to tag in Nacho! Barrera hits a double sledge and a knee smash to the face that puts Keirn down! The Cuban Assassin comes back in with an eye rake. Keirn tries to get to his corner to tag out but is blocked by the Assassin and we have a falling head butt to Keirn! Another eye rake is blocked by Keirn, who retaliates with a double hamstring pull with an assist from Lane. Lane is the official man in for his team now, and he hits the Cuban Assassin with an enzuigiri and a flurry of karate kicks that drop him like a sack of bricks. The Assassin gets to his feet, only to be dropped with a DOUBLE DDT! He kicks out with authority, however, and the Fabs are not at all happy! Keirn is back in with a figure four leglock. Assassin makes it to the ropes to break the hold but eats a second rope knee drop. The Assassin rolls out of the ring, looking to put some space between himself and Keirn practically jumps out of the ring after him! There's a bit of a brawl, but Keirn easily dominates, rolling the Cuban back into the ring. Lane back in with a SAVATE KICK and a cover! Fantasy tries to distract the ref, but it doesn't work and this one is over!

Winners of the Match: The Fabulous Ones!

The Fabs stop by to chat with Gordon Solie after the match.

Gordon Solie: "Congratulations on the win, fellas. If you don't mind me saying, it looked like you had a bit of a slow start-"

Stan Lane: "Not at all, Big G! We know all about the Machismo culture those boys come from, so we were just letting them have a chance to feel good about themselves for a minute or two before we beat 'em!"

Steve Keirn: "It's really just as simple as that!"

Solie: "If you say so-"

Lane: "We do!"

Solie: "Alright, what's next for the Fabulous Ones?"

Keirn: "Well, Big G, we're here to be the best. So... we only want to wrestle the best! So, that said, we're callin' out the Killer Bees! What do you say, buys?"

Surprisingly, we're joined by B. Brain Blair and Jim Brunzell, who accept the challenge!

Cantrell: "Well, Frankie, it looks like the tag division here in North Atlantic Wrestling is getting spicy, eh?"

Saddler: "You said it, Mike! I wonder what our tag champs, the British Bulldogs, are thinking about all this."

Cantrell: "I think we'll know soon enough. anyway, it's time for that big debut I was telling you about! Let's get to it!"

*Back to ringside for the introductions of...*

3) Bruno Sammartino vs. Frogman LeBlanc

The Frogman tries an arm wringer but gets countered with a jumping knee! LeBlanc hits the mat and Bruno scoops him up and applies his famous BEAR HUG and this one is already over!

Winner of the Match: Bruno Sammartino!

Cantrell: "Well, that was quick!"

Saddler: "Yes it was, Mike. A blind man could have seen that coming, but yeah."

Cantrell: "Fair enough, I suppose. Fair enough. What's next on tonight's agenda?"

*Back to the ringside area for Miss Cindy to introduce...*

4) Princess Victoria vs. Luna Vachon (N.A.W. Women's Champion; w/ James Mitchell)

Victoria tries for an arm drag, but Vachon counters with a gut wrench! A spinning neckbreaker from Luna leads to Victoria being tossed into the ropes. She rebounds into Luna with a big shoulder tackle! Tomahawk chops follow and the champion is in trouble! Victoria hits a body slam and tries for a wrenching toe hold but Vachon escapes and comes back with another gut wrench! She goes for a cover but Victoria kicks out! Victoria is tossed out of the ring by the champion, and Victoria struggles for a moment but makes it back into the ring to avoid being counted out. A Luna Bomb plants Victoria into the mat but Vachon isn't done playing with her, so Victoria is tossed out of the ring again. The champion is soon out after her, and Victoria gets her head rammed into the ring post repeatedly until she drops. Vachon is back in the ring laughing as Victoria struggles to get back into the ring. Her laughter abruptly ends as Princess Victoria stubbornly refuses to die and slides back into the ring! A pair of Luna Eclipses softens Victoria up for the stomach claw and the match is over!

Winner of the Match and STILL N.A.W. Women's Champion: Luna Vachon!

Cantrell: "Wow. That Luna Vachon is one mean woman, Frankie!"

Saddler: "I agree, Mike. Honestly? That title isn't likely to go anywhere for a while, I think."

Cantrell: "I think maybe you're right, pal."

*Miss Cindy stands tall in the middle of the ring as she announces...*

5) The British Bulldogs (Davey Boy Smith & Dynamite Kis; N.A.W. Tag Team Champs) vs. The Mulkeys (Bill & Randy)

Bill Mulkey and Davey Boy square off to start us off. Mulkey lands a kick to the midsection that actually drops Smith! Bill follows up with a legdrop and Smith goes for a tag. Dynamite is in with a front dropkick that puts Bill down hard. A DIVING HEADBUTT ends the match!

Winners of the Match: The British Bulldogs!

Cantrell: "Once again, Frankie, nothing surprising about that match."

Saddler: "Nope. Well, at least Bill and Randy got to be on TV, right?"

Cantrell: "Always looking at the bright side, aren't you?"

Saddler: "Why not?"

Cantrell: "Anyway, it's time for tonight's Main Event! Let's do it!"

*For the last time tonight, we go to Miss Cindy for...*

6) "Magnificent" Don Muraco vs. "Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan (N.A.W. TV Champion; w/ James Mitchell)

Sullivan with some karate thrusts and a head butt, but Muraco blocks it and lands a suplex assortment that has the champion reeling! An Asiatic Spike leads into a short series of offensive moves before Muraco plants the champion with an over-the-shoulder backbreaker and ANOTHER Asiatic Spike! Sullivan decides it's a good time to get out of danger and slides out of the ring. Muraco goes out after him and there's a short tussle, leading Muraco to pick up a steel chair from ringside and threaten Sullivan with it. The ref heads him off and gets the chair away from him, but the champ is still in danger and gets rolled back into the ring. Here comes the HAWAIIAN HAMMER and a cover... and Sullivan just BARELY kicks out in time! Sullivan is deposited out of the ring again, with Muraco following him out. The big Hawaiian mauls the champion, ramming him repeatedly into the ring apron and ring post. The champion is in deep trouble, but the Sinister Minister sneaks up on Muraco and smashes him in the back of the head with The Book of the Dead allowing Sullivan to recover. Muraco is rolled back into the ring and the champion goes to work on him with a foreign object. Muraco is in a bad way. Sullivan goes after him with the foreign object again and again before tossing him out of the ring! Sullivan is out after him but Muraco gets his second wind and drives the champ through the Italian Announce Team's table! The clearly frustrated referee lets it slide and Sullivan is tossed back into the ring. Another HAWAIIAN HAMMER and this match is over! As the new champion is handed the TV title belt, Sullivan's allies in the Army of Darkness, the Purple Haze and Maha Singh rush to the ring and attack Muraco! The British Bulldogs are soon running into the ring to even the odds and we have yet another crazy brawl on outer hands! When the smoke clears, Commissioner Teddy Long is once again out on the ramp to tell us that he's booking a six-man tag match for next week ("Playa!") and it'll be a Best of Three Falls Match!

Winner of the Match and NEW N.A.W. TV Champion: "Magnificent" Don Muraco!

Cantrell: "Tonight has just been pure chaos, Frankie! What's going to happen next week?"

Saddler: "Yeah, Mike! Tonight was nuts! I love it!"

North Atlantic Promo Corner:

*We open with "The Big D" Dick Hutton and his manager "Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart standing in front of the N.A.W. logo.*

Hutton: "You know, Big Jim, this so-called promotion North Atlantic Wrestling is a bit of a joke. I mean, The Big D is a former World Champion. The Big D is always... always... a top contender wherever he wrestles. And yet... these clowns haven't booked me on a single show so far! I mean, are they that afraid to watch The Big D in action? Are they that afraid that their champion will be humiliated? Seems to me that no one in this promotion can handle them some Big D!"

Hart: "You know, Daddy, I think you're absolutely right! They're cowards! Their champion is a coward! There! I said it! Where has the Masked Superstar been this whole time? Where?"

Hutton: "The Big D thinks the little masked man is probably at home, hiding! Well, Masked Superstar... if that is your real name... since you're at home cowering in fear, why don't you use those tears of yours to keep that big gold belt nice and shiny... because the Big D is coming!"

*Hutton and Hart smile and laugh and we fade out.*

***

*We open with recently-deposed TV Champion "Taskmaster" Kevin Sullivan, Women's Champion Luna Vachon, and the manager of The Army of Darkness, Sinister Minister James Mitchell, standing before the N.A.W. logo.*

Sullivan: "You know, Magnificent Muraco... you beat me. In the middle of the ring. Good for you. I applaud you for pulling it off... but I say it was a fluke! You were the better man that night. I say it was ONLY that night! There's no WAY you can do it again! I'm going to get my title back, Muraco! What do you think you'll be able to do when the full weight of the Darkness descends on you?"

Mitchell: "The Shadow grows over the entire region and it will swallow all of you whole unless you accept the darkness of your own souls and join The Army of Darkness! We... are your only hope of salvation in these dark times! And before long... we will hold ALL of the gold in North Atlantic Wrestling! There is room enough for us all in the Darkness!"

*The entire crew gets a good, evil laugh in as we fade to black.*

***

*Standing in front of the N.A.W. logo, we find Mikey Whipwreck.*

Whipwreck: "Umm... I don't even know what I'm doing here. Why am I here, again? I don't have anything to say!"

*Whipwreck looks around, slightly confused*

Whipwreck: "Seriously... who booked this?"

*Fade out.*

*End*
