Last Sunday Night at Luck of the Draw, we had a brand new World Champion crowned. Ron Waterman walked out of Miami, Florida the brand new NAWA World Champion. Tonight in Tampa, Ron Waterman will address the fans of the New Age Wrestling Alliance for the very first time in his career. Also tonight, the International Title Tournament will begin as Juventud Guerrera faces Norman Smiley, Christopher Daniels faces the Gambler, Shawn Stasiak faces Raven, and CM Punk takes on AJ Styles. Also, one more time, Scott Hall takes on Jeff Jarrett and this time inside the confines of a fifteen foot high steel cage to keep the Kliq and Team Jarrett out.
"Sharp Dressed Man" by ZZ Top plays and this is not on the format. Miles Stylish makes his way to the ring and he doesn't look too happy. Stylish steps in the ring with a microphone.
Stylish: Last Sunday night, a great injustice took place. I was poised to walk out with the NAWA World Title Belt but that didn't happen and I will tell you why.
Oh boy, here we go. Stylish is going to offer some kind of trumped up excuse on why he didn't win Luck of the Draw.
Stylish: First of all, Ron Waterman struck me with an illegal closed fist punch to knock me out. A cheap shot that cost me the NAWA World Championship. Waterman should have been disqualified and I should have been given the belt.
The crowd chants "bullshit". Stylish is forgetting the fact that you cannot be disqualified in a battle royal and furthermore, Waterman eliminated Stylish with a perfectly legal, lariat. Stylish hung on for quite some time but that final blow was the thing that won Waterman the title.
Stylish: Second of all, the two matches in one night. This is what really burns me up. Even through I am the greatest wrestler today, two matches does drain any wrestler. Tony Mamaluke shouldn't even be in the same ring with me. The third thing is since when can a wrestler enter a match that he hasn't even signed a contract for. Raven wasn't scheduled to be part of Luck of the Draw. He came in and attacked me from behind, knocking me loopy with the Evenflow DDT. That was the major factor in me losing and I didn't scout that particular move, and wasn't given a chance to. I have half the mind to sue the New Age Wrestling Alliance for an unsafe working enviroment if a wrestler who wasn't scheduled for a match can attack wrestlers that are anytime they want. Raven eventually fell to the might of Miles Stylish when I tossed him over the top rope and Raven, if you ever cross me again, you will be in a hospital bed right next to Harry Harris. The same goes for Tony Mamaluke. I am a world class superstar and the only wrestler worthy of challenging for the NAWA World Title so....
"Caw, Caw, Caw".
"Come Out and Play" by the Offspring plays and out comes Raven to cheers from the crowd. Raven has his chest and ribs heavily taped from that cinderblock beating a few weeks ago. Raven is standing on the rampway and has the microphone.
Raven: You should be the only one challenging for the World Title, Stylish? Well let me let you in on a little secret. January 8th 2004. About a month ago. Harry Harris against Raven for the NAWA World Title. I won the NAWA World Title, pinning Harry Harris cleanly in the center of the ring. Then, Christopher Daniels and his Archangels of Anarchy laid waste to me. Then the next week, I was stripped of the NAWA World Title. Of course no one from the office bothered to ask me if I could defend the NAWA World Title, they just went by what the company doctors said. Those doctors said that I would be out at least three or four months, which proves that any doctor does not know how Raven ticks. Listen to yourself Stylish. You talk each and every week in the ring, building yourself up with your deliusions of grandeur. It amuses me on several levels. Each and every week you get more absurb with more hyberbole with each passing week. Yet which one of us is a former two time NAWA World Champion. Think about that one, next time you brag, Miles.
Stylish is seething in the ring and he lifts up his microphone.
Stylish: Yes, Raven, you have won two NAWA World Titles but how many one on one matches have you had with me. If anyone has any deliusions, it's you Raven. Each and every week, I hear you say, what about me, what about Raven. It isn't about you Raven, it's about Miles Stylish. I am the biggest rating's draw in this company and...
"Stayin' Alive" by the Bee Gees plays and Tony Mamaluke makes his way to the ring. Mamaluke suffered quite a bit of a beating last night during his match with Stylish and later during the Luck of the Draw Match. He suffered a Vicious Water Bomb from Ron Waterman and then got put to the floor with the Las Vegas Trauma from Stylish. Mamaluke has the microphone.
Mamaluke: Miles, Miles, Miles, what can I say. Last week, Last Sunday, sorry if I sound a little incoherant, concussion from that lovely Las Vegas Trauma you gave me to that one inch padding from the ring apron. You gave me quite a beating, Stylish. So what else is new. Once again, you did not finish the job and I am still breathing, still standing. Sure I may be a little concussed but you cannot win it all. So, let me tell you something. If anyone deserves to challenge for the NAWA World Title, it will be. I have a high survival rate against Ron Waterman, as in I have fought him more times than anyone in the company and I am surviving so..
Stylish: Yeah we know, Mamaluke. Every time you fight Waterman, you are like a common street prostitute. Flat on your back.
Mamaluke: Very funny Stylish. I seem to remember you being in the same position on two NAWA Pay Per Views last year. You haven't beaten Waterman either.
Raven: This is all very amusing, but we are losing track of one thing. I have never competed against Ron Waterman and you two have tried and failed. Failure is essential in weeding out the weak and only the strong survive. And out of us three, I am the one most likely to get a title shot. You two can get bitch fight elsewhere or whatever, because the NAWA World Title is coming back to my waist for a third time.
Mamaluke: Raven, I haven't had the pleasure of wrestling you in the ring. So nothing has been proven. Perhaps you and I can have a match for the NAWA World Title Shot.
Raven: Mamaluke, you are below my notice. You are a great midcard attraction but don't try and play with fire. Being scorched will put you down further than not stepping up to the main event.
Stylish: This is all very well and good but neither of you are worthy of getting my title shot. So the Council of Five, get out here, show your faces, and...
"The Theme from NAWA Glory" plays and that's the boss. NAWA Owner Matt Harms is coming out to the ring. Matt Harms rarely appears on Glory, so you know it is going to be big. Harms has the microphone.
Harms: Gentlemen, there seems to be a little dispute on whom is the number one contender...
Stylish: There is no dispute. I am the rightful number one contender and the uncrowned champion, so it should be me vs Ron Waterman for the NAWA World Title at Blinded by Fury.
Harms: As I was saying, there seems to be a dispute. I was here backstage this afternoon in a meeting with the board of directors. They seemed to have yet to decide on who the new commissioner is. We hope to resolve this matter as soon as possible. To get back on the subject, I happened to walk by a monitor and what do I see, Miles Stylish talking himself up. Miles Stylish making excuses about his loss. Miles Stylish demanding a title shot. Here's the thing, Mr. Stylish. That is not the way we do things in the New Age Wrestling Alliance. What I say, goes? What the Council of Five says, goes? And what the new Commissioner says, will go? End of discussion. Now, Stylish, you will not be receiving an NAWA World Title Shot at Blinded by Fury.
Stylish has the microphone and he is not looking very happy.
Stylish: I suppose you are going to give a title shot to one of these two idiots. Figures, you are going to hold me down to me taking out your golden boy, Harry Harris.
Harms: Oh you mean you injuring one of the top draws of this company in a cowardly attack from behind. Yes, I am not too happy about that but that is not the reason you are not getting the title shot. Raven isn't getting the NAWA World Title Shot. Tony Mamaluke isn't getting an NAWA World Title Shot. None of you are getting a title shot. You will be part of a match at Blinded by Fury. It will be a fatal four way elimination match. Tony Mamaluke, Miles Stylish, Raven, and a fourth man. I looked up and down the roster long and hard and seeing that you three are the three runners up for the Luck of the Draw Match, I have decided to slot the fourth runner up in this match. That would of course be, Kevin Nash.
The crowd cheers big time for the mention of Kevin Nash.
Harms: The winner of that match will receive what the winner of the Luck of the Draw Match was supposed to get originally. An NAWA World Title Match March 28th at Reality Check. Thank you and good day.
Matt Harms leaves the ring as the three wrestlers slowly file off. With that we fade to a

"Well, Well, Well."
Joel Gertner is coming from the back with a microphone. He commentated on NAWA Glory up until Wrestleclash II and now he is back. Gertner enters the ring with a strut and a microphone in hand. Yes, he still has the neckbrace on for all you keeping score.
Joel Gertner: I have returned. I, the quittesential studmuffin, Joel "I'm the magic stick, because all the ladies enjoy sucking my ten and three fourth inch dick" Gertner. Now, I am out here for a reason. Ladies, try and keep your orgasisms at a mininum. This is the tag team that all the ladies love and makes all the gentlemen reconsider their sexual preference.

And to top that all off, you haven't gotten injured yet.
Nash: Well of course, I am a main eventer. No one is as big and sexy as Kevin Nash. I am the cornerstone, the forefather of the Kliq. I will show these young hot talent what true greatness is all about. You see, it doesn't matter how many fancy moves you do on the top. All that matters is how much money you get paid and I am willing to give some advice. Less is indeed more and I have ascended to the top with minimal effort and really, who could argue. I mean my great charisma and superstar looks have something to do with it.
Marion: Indeed, but some are not happy to see you...
Nash: So what else is new. I am apperantly the big bad for some things that got blown out of porportion back in the old WCW. You know the saying, when in Rome, do as the Romans. That is what I did and that is how I succeeded back in the day.
Marion: That is all very well and good but your fellow Kliq members, Michael Shane and Sean Waltman, seem to not be too pleased at your interference. Could we be seeing a division in the Kliq, with you causing problems as usual?
Nash: Let me set the record straight. Sean Waltman, I have known for several years and Michael Shane is just as good as his more famous relative who I cannot speak of due to the fact I don't want to have any lawsuits just yet. There was a bit of a miscommunication last Sunday but it is all cleared up and the Kliq is on the same page once again. We will be the dominate force in the New Age Wrestling Alliance. Now if you excuse me, I have things that I'd rather be doing. Just remember this, at Blinded by Fury, I will caputure the Number One Contedership because I am Too Sweet and that my friends is 4 Life.

"The Unforgiven" by Metallica plays and the crowd gives an ear splitting pop as the brand new NAWA World Champion Ron Waterman enters the ring. Waterman has the championship belt strapped around his waist, as any respectful champion should. Waterman comes down to the ring and enters the ring. Waterman hasn't said a word in his eighteen months here and will break that tradition tonight on Glory. Waterman proved his dominance for sure last Sunday but he has a whole new set of challenges ahead. People wanted a piece of him when he was just undefeated. Now that he is still undefeated and has the championship, Waterman is going to have an uphill battle. Waterman calls for the microphone.
Waterman: The NAWA World Title Belt. Many wrestlers said they would win it at Luck of the Draw. I didn't say anything and I walked out of that match with the belt around my waist. Proving, once and for all that actions speak louder than words. The result of last Sunday's match proved that point. If any of the boys in the back think that I am going to relax since I have the title, they have another thing coming. Even through I agreed to take this interview time, I will not bore you all with details on how I am going to beat each and every one of my challengers. I will just enter the ring and do what I do best. Prove why I am the toughest man in this federation. I welcome all challenges. There are many I have beaten, that want another crack at me. There are many that I have never faced, that want a crack at me. One could look down the least and see a lot of great challengers. Raven, Miles Stylish, Scott Hall, Jeff Jarrett, Christopher Daniels, the list goes on and on. They don't psyche me out. All there words are meaningless by the time that bell rings. Take your best shot, I will keep on going business as usual. That is my message to the boys in the...
"In the End" by Linkin Park and Jerry Lynn comes out from the back. Jerry Lynn has just had his suspension lifted and he is out to interrupt the NAWA World Champion. Lynn enters the ring and he claps. Lynn has a microphone of his own.
Lynn: Rousing speech indeed, Mr. Waterman. Congratulations on your victory last Sunday night. Of course we all know the reason why you have captured the title. I wasn't in the match. I had been suspended due to the fact that the New Age Wrestling Alliance Board of Directors feel it nessesary to have rules. Rules are an outdated concept in wrestling and now I am on probation, so I have to behave myself. Back to the matter at hand. Waterman, you are nothing but a sham. That NAWA World Title Belt was won in a Battle Royal. It doesn't take that many brain cells to knock someone over the top rope. Fernando Romero Entonio Dominic could have won that battle royal, had he been in it. The point I'm making is, I don't think you deserve that belt and I feel insulted as is. You went down the list of top contenders to the belt and you left one important name off the list. That being me, Jerry Lynn.
Lynn pauses as the crowd boos him.
Lynn: Waterman, you do have an impressive list of victories but one thing is clear. My name is missing from that list and you have never faced anything like me. I am a ruthless bastard. The fact that other wrestlers are human beings with families does not stop me from causing pain and suffering. Look at the list, my list, of casualities. Norman Smiley, Harry Harris, Super Crazy, Tony Mamaluke, Rapmaster Killings, Sean Waltman, Steve Corino, they have all never been the same after they have had their date with destiny, the destruction at my hands. Think about that one for a minute and realise that I am the thing that goes bump in the night. The thing that the most fearless man fears. A ruthless assassin, a career shortening. That is I, Jerry Lynn.
Waterman: Are you done yet?
The crowd cheers.
Waterman: Once again, we have another wrestler who has laid down his credientials in front of me in expressive detail. Lynn, you are indeed an impressive wrestler but words will do you little when you face Ron Waterman. And I accept your challenge for an NAWA World Title match before you even ask. Just name the time and place and I will put my championship on the line.
Lynn: Blinded by Fury, February 29th, Pay Per View Main Event. I look forward to walking out, finally, with the NAWA World Championship. Enjoy your shortened title reign. I will end it in a snap, along with snapping your neck.
Lynn walks off as Waterman is left in the ring. We have an NAWA World Title Match at Blinded by Fury. Ron Waterman will have his first title defense against Jerry Lynn. We are out of time. See you next week.
