EPISODE 1: “It’s Show Time!”
Live! From Madison Square Garden, New York City, New York, U.S.A
Monday, January, Week 1, Year 1
(The show’s
theme music plays as the on screen graphics appear. We see various GWE Superstars executing a variety of moves and taunts. The music pauses for a second and the screen becomes black. When the music starts again we are inside the arena and the pyrotechnics explode! The camera zooms in and out on the sold out Madison Square Garden crowd who hold up various signs for certain GWE Superstars. The camera continues to pan the crowd until it is cut short by the image of GWE President Vince McMahon who appears on the giant screen above the entrance stage. McMahon waits for the crowd to die down and begins to speak.)
VM: Ladies and Gentlemen welcome to the inaugural edition of GWE Monday Night’s Main Event!(The crowd cheers.)
VM: Tonight you will witness the very best professional wrestlers in the world doing what they do best. Tonight is the beginning of the GWE legacy! As GWE President I will not be able to attend every event and iron out any problems that may arise on a day to day basis. With that being said allow me to introduce you to the man who will control the action, make the matches and make sure every show runs smoothly. Ladies and Gentlemen please welcome GWE General Manger Eric Bischoff.(Eric Bischoff makes his way to the entrance stage with a microphone in hand and begins to speak.)

We will see high flying Light Heavyweight action, No Holds Barred brutality and we begin our tournament to crown our World Heavyweight Champion! So get ready to witness the very best in wrestling entertainment!(The show’s theme music plays again and Eric Bischoff leaves the stage. The camera pans the ecstatic sold out crowd before settling on the GWE Announce Team of Jim Ross and Paul Heyman. They are seated at a table at ringside and after a quick on screen graphic showing their names they begin to speak.)

(10-13) and slaps the fans hands as he does so. Once inside the ring he tests the ropes a few times and waits for his opponent.)
JR: Waltman looks in great shape Paul!(Jamie Noble’s music hits and he enters the arena to decent heat
(5-9). He ignores the fans and slides into the ring never once taking his eyes from Waltman.)
PH: Jamie Noble looks focused tonight Jim.(The wrestlers circle each other and the bell rings.)
Opening MatchGWE World Light Heavyweight Championship Tournament ‘Round of 16’ BoutSean Waltman vs. Jamie NobleNoble begins the match by jumping Waltman at the bell and staying on top. After a few minutes of sustained offence Noble is distracted by the fans abuse and loses control of the match. Waltman starts to gain momentum but is cut short again by Noble and a snap scoop power slam. Noble stays on top and after a while whips Waltman to the ropes, Waltman ducks a close line and out of nowhere hits his finishing move, the Sit out Face buster! The crowd count along as Waltman attempts a pin but only manages a two count! Waltman sends Noble to the ropes but noble slides under Waltman’s legs and attempts a power bomb; Waltman is hoisted up but slips down and nails another Face Buster! Waltman hooks the leg … but it’s only a two! Waltman can’t believe it and after a few moments picks Noble up and sends him towards the ropes, Noble springboards off the ropes and hits a clean moonsault press and rolls through with the pin only to get a two count! Noble continues his offence but is caught with a head scissors that sends him flying out of the ring, Waltman taunts but doesn’t notice Noble has landed on his feet and has scaled the turnbuckle, Waltman turns around into a missile dropkick that hits hard! Noble straps his finishing move, the Dragon Sleeper onto the prone Waltman and Waltman has no choice but to tap out!

The fans go crazy for him!
(17-18). Cole raises the microphone to his mouth.)
MC: Hulk, thanks for taking the time out to be here tonight. You are scheduled to compete on GWE Friday Night Prime Time against the man many regard as simply unbeatable, Andre the Giant. What are your thoughts as you prepare for this encounter and do you think you can really beat a man who weighs 540 lbs and measures over 7 foot tall?HH: Well, you know something brother? Hulk Hogan believes he can beat any man! I don’t care if he’s 540 lbs or 5000 lbs, whether he is 7 foot tall or 700 foot tall I know that I can pin his shoulders to the mat and pick up the win, brother! My destiny is the GWE World Heavyweight Championship dude and when I walk out into the O2 arena in London and I feel the power of the thousands of Hulkamaniacs coursing through my veins, nobody, not even Andre the Giant will be able stop me! So what are you going to do Andre, what are you going to do? When Hulk Hogan and Hulkamania runs wild on you!(Hogan poses and flexes his muscles and the camera fades back into a shot of the sold out arena where Tommy Dreamer’s Music is playing)
PH: Things are about to get extreme, Ross!JR: You bet they are! Tommy Dreamer and Raven are ready to face each other in the GWE No Holds Barred Championship tournament.PH: That means no count outs, no disqualifications and falls count anywhere!(Dreamer enters through the curtain carrying a Steel Chair and receives decent cheers

Lower Card MatchGWE No Holds Barred Championship Tournament ‘Round of 16’ BoutTommy Dreamer vs. RavenDreamer starts off by hammering Raven with right hands to the skull. He sets up the steel chair and prepares to whip Raven into the ropes; Raven reverses and executes a drop toe hold, dropping Dreamer face first onto the Chair! Raven attempts a pin fall but it’s only a two. Raven throws Dreamer out of the ring and follows him out. He executes a Russian leg sweep into the guard rail that leaves Tommy clutching the back of his head in pain. Raven levels Tommy with a few kicks to the gut and picks him up again. He sets Tommy for another Russian leg sweep and executes it again to the dismay of the fans. After a few minutes Tommy crawls to his feet using the guardrail for support and sees Raven flying from the turnbuckle towards him, Tommy moves and Raven crashes into and over the rail into the fans! Dreamer reaches under the ring apron and pulls out a table that he slides in the ring. He waits for Raven to crawl in as well and as he stands up, Tommy launches the table at him! Raven tastes wood and crumples to the canvas. Tommy taunts the crowd and picks Raven up for a DVD …Bam! Dreamer covers Raven and registers the pin!

Mid Card MatchGWE World Tag Team Championships Tournament ‘Round of 16’ BoutDemolition vs. The Road WarriorsThe match begins with all four men trading blows which bring the fans to their feet!

After a minute or so Hawk whips Ax into Smash who takes a tumble and rolls out of the ring. Hawk takes control of Ax and sets about with clubbing blows to his head and back. Hawk dominates Ax, refusing to let him tag and wearing him down but Ax has the fans on his side and slowly picks up momentum. After a couple of close lines he nails Hawk with a Brain buster!

JR: Up next ladies and gentlemen is a ‘Round of 16’ match in the GWE World Television Championship tournament. PH: That’s right, Ross. The human suplex machine Tazz goes one on one with England’s own William Regal! Here comes Regal now …(William Regal’s music plays and he pompously waltzes down to the ring turning his nose up at the fans who give him huge heat!
(14-16). He motions for the referee to open the ropes and gracefully enters the ring. He hands the referee his entrance robe and waits for Tazz. After a few seconds the arena descends into orange and Tazz appears at the top of the ramp. The fans go crazy for him!

The referee spots the knuckles and disqualifies Regal!
Winner by Disqualification – Tazz (17 minutes, 18 seconds)(The referee awards the match to the still unconscious Tazz and ushers Regal from the ring. Regal stretches his aching body as he walks up the ramp with a wry smile on his face. Tazz appears to regain consciousness and rubs his jaw as he stares at Regal leaving through the curtain. The camera switches to the announcers.)
JR: What a dastardly act by Regal there!PH: Hey, he knew he was losing momentum so he took a gamble, Ross!JR: Yeah, a gamble that didn’t pay off. Regal is now eliminated from the World TV title tournament!(The camera pans the arena as the announcers continue to talk.)

RP: … how do you feel preparing for a match situation where there is simply no chance of leaving the ring victorious?JL: Well, Piper. You certainly have a mouth on you don’t you? I might as well …(Piper cuts him off to loud boos and jeers.)
RP: Very good, yeah … I see what you mean; I’d be nervous too … Lets move on to the next question.(Lawler shuffles on his stool and Piper continues.)
RP: Why do you call yourself ‘The King’? I mean you’re quite clearly not the king of Memphis, the GWE or anywhere else … so why call yourself it?JL: I see where you’re going with this Piper and …(Piper cuts him off to even more loud boos and jeers.)
RP: Ah! Right, great! Good answer … (Lawler stands up and squares off with Piper who stands up and drops the microphone. The crowd go nuts as they argue and Lawler shoves Piper!

JR: My god! What a despicable act by Flair!PH: I have to disagree with you Ross. I think that was a smart move by Flair.JR: What are you talking about? Flair just decimated Lawler with a wooden stool! He should be suspended immediately!PH: But it gives Flair an advantage heading into their GWE World Heavyweight Tournament match on Friday.(The announcers are interrupted by a countdown on the big screen above the entrance curtain.
