The Big Bang
May 11th, 2008
Los Angeles, California
GCW Championship Match
Booker T Vs. Batista Vs. Chris Jericho
Chris Jericho had Booker locked in the Walls of Jericho, but before Booker could tap, The Behemoth, Batista, interrupted, his animal instinct reawakened, and demolished Jericho mercilessly, fulfilling a heel turn in the process (as Jericho is face), before finishing him off with the Behemoth (Copyright, plz :shifty: ) Bomb, therefore capturing the GCW Championship.

The Return of a Mega Superstar
Eric Bischoff appeared and introduced his longtime nemesis, Paul Heyman. The men bickered like old fools, reminiscing of years long gone and of malign tactics used in acquiring talent; suffice it to say, the fans booed the hell out of 'em, and lo and behold, one man appeared to shut 'em up; Bill fucking Goldberg returned and unleashed hell upon Bischoff and Heyman, spearing 'em much to a rousing applause. The segment ended as Goldberg signaled a championship gesture around his abdomen, and Bischoff and Heyman's KOed carcasses
D) littered the ring. Icon versus Icon Match
Sting Vs. Kenta Kobashi
The Dragons clashed in one hell of an epic struggle for supremacy, however, in the end, the Western Dragon's poisonous grasp could not deter the Eastern Dragon's determination in showing the western world his prowess and in-ring fidelity. As if by the grace of Buddha, Kobashi's stalwart conviction proved far too strong for Sting's undying passion, and after nearly a half an hour of ostensibly unending back and forth action, the Eastern Dragon summoned up enough fire to burn the Western Dragon's chances of attaining victory away...
Kobashi def. Sting @27:19
AAA Championship Match
Cibernético © Vs. Rey Mysterio Jr.
In a particularly brutal match up, Cibernético bludgeoned Mysterio Jr. and bloodied him, effectively becoming Heel as he expressed no remorse for his heinous deed. Donning the crimson mask, Mysterio was further assailed by Cibernético's old ally, El Mesias. His mask was nearly ripped off until his old compadres, Juventud and Psicosis, came to his aid and drove the tandem of Cibernético and Mesias away. Unfortunately for Mysterio, he had been left damn near mutiliated, his soul clearly ripped from his physical being...
Cibernético rendered Mysterio unable to continue @9:08
International Championship Match
CM Punk Vs. Sean O' Haire
Before the match occurred, each man cut a promo; CM Punk had slandered Sean O' Haire and turned heel, while O' Haire became babyface after debuting a new gimmick. Heralded as 'The Chosen One' by a nameless "mentor" of whom he spoke of, he had adorned his face in colored paint much like a warrior (guess) of yore, and had fashioned himself much like him as well, in-ring gear, mannerisms, and all. He concluded his promo by yelling the phrase, "This... is absolution!" In a memorable confrontation, Sean O' Haire defeated Punk after executing his finisher, The Prophecy, earning the International Championship in his first match in years.

The First Encounter
Rob Van Dam Vs. Jushin Liger
Described as a classic, Jushin Liger unleashed his Kishin persona and nearly defeated Rob Van Dam, but the Whole F'n Show had other plans, and he successfully knocked Liger senseless after a Van Daminator. Once Liger was incapacitated, Van Dam took advantage and leaped off from the top turnbuckle, crushing his adversary from above with a Five Star Frog Splash. The former ECW and WWE Champion managed to defeat Jushin Liger, if narrowly, cementing himself a victory in his first match in a few months.
Rob Van Dam def. Jushin Liger @16:31
War of the Nations Battle Royale
Carlos Colón Jr. Vs. Dos Caras Jr. Vs. Hiroshi Tanahashi Vs. Alex Koslov Vs. Harry Smith Vs. Christopher Daniels
Once it boiled down to Carlos Colón Jr. and The Archangel, Christopher Daniels, of whose earlier gimmick of 'The Fallen Angel' received a minor overhaul, all hell broke loose. Unfortunately for Daniels, Colón Jr.'s father, Carlos Colón Sr., a legend in Puerto Rican wrestling, appeared and readily aided his son in winning, distracting Daniels and allowing his son a victory by way of Backcracker. Distraught over his loss, The Archangel promised redemption, and a blood price to be paid...
Carlos Colón Jr. def. Daniels @12:50
GCW Tag Team Championships Match
KENTA & Marufuji Vs. The Burchills
The Burchills, being heel, had largely dominated much of the match, however, once Marufuji was tagged in mid match, momentum shifted in favor of the NOAH boys and despite Paul's efforts, Marufuji defeated his brother, Drew, in a decisive manner, allowing himself and KENTA the pleasure of being the first GCW Tag Team Champions, much to the englishmen's chagrin.

8-Man Gauntlet Match for the GCW Cruiser Championship
Mistico Vs. Black Warrior Vs. Juventud Guerrera Vs. CIMA Vs. Austin Aries Vs. Billy Kidman Vs. Ultimo Dragon Vs. Gregory Helms
Once CIMA had defeated his mentor, Ultimo Dragon, his final opponent was the Prince of Gold and Silver, Mistico. In the end, CIMA tapped to the La Mistica, enabling Mistico to become the first ever GCW Cruiser Champion.

~ General Information ~
The GCW Brand
GCW, or Global Championship Wrestling, is, for lack of a more appropriate word, a dream federation of mine. It is my vision of what my ideal professional wrestling promotion would be like, or booked. For those wondering of the endless World Championship Wrestling references and names, GCW is my spiritual successor to WCW. I loved WCW (perhaps more so the idea than the actual promotion) and thus, I feel it necessary to pay tribute to my once (and still) favorite promotion. GCW is my brand, my baby, I've soiled her name and now, it's time to make amends.
Two Weekly Shows, no Split Roster?
Yesiree. Nitro is the flagship weekly program of GCW, while RaVe is a supplemental program designed for guys and gals whose faces rarely grace Nitro and for building more character. See, I have a huge roster, and I needed some more space for talent, so I decided upon a secondary show for younger stars and so forth. The reasoning for a unified Roster is because, well, I really have no need for another Roster, as one World Champion (I technically have two, read GCW Championships) is enough for me, and one Midcard Champ, and well, I hope you comprehend the idea. The secondary show will thus be used for further character evaluation, building, reaction, and of course, spotlighting the more unknown guys.
Foreign Talent Exchange
GCW has working agreements with the following promotions; Pro Wrestling NOAH, CMLL, AAA, New Japan Pro Wrestling, World Wrestling Council, and Dragon Gate. NOAH is GCW's closest associate, while CMLL is of secondary significance. This means you'll be seeing numerous stars from all around the world, however, I will not be using them unannounced or liberally. I'll take a measure of care in approaching this, because some bookers would merely use 'em for jobbing, unnecessary and crappily-hyped dream matches, and so forth. Once I feel like using someone, I'll announce their coming beforehand, and I'll make sure they're rare occurrences. The magic would just wane if I use 'em in excess.
GCW Championships
GCW has TWO World Championships in possession; of course, GCW's World Heavyweight Championship, and as a result of Cibernético's signing, the AAA World Heavyweight Championship belongs to GCW. AAA has been mum regarding their reaction, but remember this; GCW has a contractual agreement with AAA, thus meaning an AAA superstar can and will theoretically appear on GCW to challenge Cibernético for the AAA Championship. Just a matter of when, really. The midcard championship is the International Heavyweight Championship, designed for up-and-comers of whom possess an absolute potential of becoming something far bigger in the future. The International Championship differs from a regular mid-tier title, in that the Champion is essentially a Number One Contender (to be) for the GCW World Heavyweight Championship; in order for him to truly earn Number One Contendership, he'd have to win an undisclosed amount of matches consecutively, yes, which means if he loses a match while he is Champion, his record would basically be null and void and he'd have to back to the drawing board, racking up wins once again until he reaches his goal, uninterrupted. Of course, there's a more traditional avenue of pursuing Number One Contendership, and well, you'll see...
This is gonna be brief; GCW Tag Team Championships are, of course, GCW's Tag Team Championships. The GCW Cruiser (yes, cruiser) Championship is designed for my luchas/cruiser guys, much in the spirit of WCW's old Cruiserweight Championship (fuck WWE's incarnation). The GCW Women's Championship is for mah girls, and shall be a force in GCW programming, you'll see. BTW, women are eligible for GCW Tag Team Championships, so no sexism shall be inflicted in this thread. Equal opportunities abound!
GCW PPV and Supercards
There are nine pay-per-views a year; GCW's big three are Marathon of Kings, Clash of the Champions, and Starrcade. Marathon of Kings is of similiar vein to WWE's Royal Rumble or WCW's 'ol World War III, in which a huge match will take place in order to name a Number One Contender to the GCW Championship at Starrcade, GCW's flagship PPV in tradition with WCW's Starrcade. UnCensored, a PPV held in March, is a no holds barred event similiar to WCW's old Uncensored and WWE's One Night Stand. Clash of the Champions, in May of 2009, shall mark the return of an honored and storied tradition; remember, War is a Game, kiddies!
GCW also hosts international supercards in conjunction with several lucha libre and puroresu promotions; GCW and New Japan's Wrestle Kingdom III is the only event with a concrete date, scheduled for January 4th, 2009, coinciding with New Japan's annual big event. GCW and NOAH's Pantheon of the Dragons is scheduled to occur during the calendar year of 2008, while GCW's excursion in Mexico alongside CMLL and AAA is scheduled for Summer of '09.I left many things out, and for good reason. For one, I wanted to get this thread up and running, I was becoming sick of it not being posted. I skimped on the backstory for a good reason; who the hell wants to read another archetypical Bischoff wants to get back into the wrestling biz, creates his own professional wrestling promotion schlop? I don't know about you guys, but quite frankly, I'm sick of it. It may seem lazy to many of you, but believe me when I say, my shows will more than make up for the lack of backstory, and everything else as well. Nitro Preview going up next week, with Nitro following sooner or later. Thank you.
