Episode 1
Joey Styles: “Hello everyone and welcome to the inaugural edition of Pro Wrestling Destiny! I am Joey Styles and I am proud to be the play by play analyst for the next generation of innovative and exciting wrestling! And sitting next to me is one of the greatest champions and charismatic superstars in the history of our industry. John Bradshaw Layfield.â€
JBL: “That’s right the Wrestling God is going to make his presence known in Pro Wrestling Destiny! There is no better place better for me because the Wrestling God dictates Destiny! I can’t wait anymore, the lights are on bright, the fans are screaming and it is time for action!â€
(Falling Down by Breaking Point fills the arena and a familiar face appears on the stage in a black Armani suit holding a microphone.)
Andrew Walker: “For those of you who don’t know who I am. My name is Andrew Walker and I am the co-owner of this organization. And come hell or high water I am going to make sure that this is going to be my next great success. Although things are going to be quite different from previous organizations I have ran. For instance, you are not going to see me out here each and every week. My partner and I have decided that someone else is going to be running the asylum this time around. Instead we have decided that this organization needed the insight of someone who has spent his fair share in the asylum. And I am not going to reveal his name to all of you right now. I think he has the right to reveal himself in due time at his leisure. But all I have to say is that this former World Heavyweight Champion in two previous organizations will have quite an impact presence here in Pro Wrestling Destiny! Now onto a more personal note, I was about to bury my presence in this industry and move on. But now I realize that I am destined to be a legend in this business. So let it be known from here on out, that Andrew Walker’s destiny lies within that ring, with every superstar making me immoral every night. This is my destiny and your in for one hell of a ride.â€
Joey Styles: “Andrew Walker has hired a General Manager to run the day to day running of this organization? And a former World Heavyweight Champion in two different companies? And who is this partner he keeps talking about? Who in the hell could it be?â€
JBL: “I don’t know but this is an ingenious move! Getting someone who has the experience and has earned his spot in the business obviously being a world champ in not one but two organizations! I cannot wait to see the new General Manager!â€
Joey Styles: “Well regardless we are going to get right into some exciting and thrilling X Division action!â€

Lillian Garcia: “Here is your winner, Samoa Joe!â€
(Samoa Joe helps A.J. up to his feet and both men shake hands in the middle of the ring)
Joey Styles: “What an impressive performance from these two young talented athletes.â€
JBL: “Yeah they are talented but they aren’t hungry! Where is the do whatever it takes attitude to win and get to the top? This is a business where the best get the belt and these two shaking each other hands and acting all friendly is ridiculous!â€
Joey Styles: “How is it ridiculous to show sportsmanship and class after an outstanding match up between two men? Not everyone is as selfish and egomaniacal as you.â€
JBL: “Well everyone damn well should be! I didn’t make it to the top of the professional wrestling ladder by being everyone’s friend! This is a cut throat environment and if they don’t learn that they are in for a big surprise!â€
Joey Styles: “Well we will be back after this commercial break. And when we return we will see the match up of The Blueprint Matt Morgan vs. Eric Young!â€
-Commercial Break-
-Return to Program-
(The camera is focused on Kurt Angle sitting in the locker room watching the monitor. The crowd gives a loud pop as Angle stands there. The camera pans over to Triple H who is quickly followed by Ric Flair who is looking at a locker which has Angle’s bags in it.)
Triple H: “What In the hell is this shit doing in MY locker!â€
(Triple H grabs the bag and tosses it across the room and it falls at Angle’s feet. Angle turns around and looks down at the bag at his feet than up at Triple H. Angle steps over th bag and walks towards Triple H but is cut off by Flair.)
Flair: “Whoa whoa whoa. Don’t think your just going to go up to the future champ like so thug. You need to calm down Kurt and rethink your situation. I mean don’t get me wrong you are probably the greatest technical wrestler alive! But there is no man in this industry as charismatic, as powerful and is the complete package as The Game! So trying to start a fight with him is just ridiculous! So don’t get on his bad side because with the Nature Boy at his side we are going straight to the top to grab that brass ring! And you don’t want to make enemies with the champion got it?â€
Angle: “You know it is going to be pretty hard to climb up and grab that brass ring when your damn ankle is broken. So why don’t you two shut the hell up and reach down deep and see which one of you has the balls to meet me in the ring tonight!â€
(Angle walks away from Flair who is red in the face and takes his coat off and throws it to the ground. Flair attempts to move forward but Triple H grabs Flair by the shoulder and whispers something into his ear and Flair stops and nods smiling.)
Joey Styles: “Big words from Kurt Angle to some of the craftiest players in the game. But He has all the ability to back up his claims and if I were Triple H and Flair I would be cautious.â€
JBL: “Angle better learnt o shut his mouth! Yeah he won some gold medals in the Olympics but this is not the Olympics! This is Profession Wrestling and he needs to realized that Triple H has left men bleeding and broken in that ring more times than I can count! I hope he gets what is coming to him and he learns his place!â€
Joey Styles: “Well folks it is time for our next match up which is going to be the gargantuan Matt Morgan up against the talented and popular Eric Young.â€
JBL: “I love this kid Matt Morgan! He is everything a wrestler should be! He has a great physique and has all the talent to put it to good use! This is a guy you need to watch Styles because this kid has greatness written all over him!â€
Matt Morgan vs. Eric Young
Lillian Garcia: “The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from Florence, Ontario, Canada Showtime Eric Young!â€
(Eric Young appears on the stage and the fans cheer loudly. Young appears timid and looks behind him and as he walks down the pyro goes off and Eric Young hit’s the ramp after being frightened. Young holds his heart as he walks down the ramp and slides into the ring.
Lillian Garcia: “And his opponent weighing in at 330lbs from Fairfield, Connecticut. The Blueprint, Matt Morgan!â€
(Morgan appears on the stage looking fierce and flexing. He walks down the ramp with confidence and walks up the steel steps and enters the ring by stepping over the top rope.)
Both men move towards each other and Morgan sticks his hand out and pie faces Young back across the ring. Young shakes it off and they circle around the ring once more. Both men move in and lock into a collar elbow tie up. Morgan overpowers Young and backs him into a corner. The referee calls for a break and Morgan slowly begins to back away but suddenly comes back and lands a hard right hand to the jaw of Young. Morgan grabs the wrist of Young and pulls him out of the corner to the middle of the ring and pulls him into a hard clothesline knocking Young down to the mat. Morgan gets up and looks down at Young and looks down at him nudging him with his foot. Young slowly begins to get up and Morgan picks him up and lifts him up by his side and drops him down with a sidewalk slam. Morgan sits there and leans back against Young and the referee drops down and counts 1.…2.…and Morgan sits up and looks around with an arrogant smiles and rises up to his feet. Morgan rolls Young onto his stomach with his foot. Morgan moves over and stands over Young and squats down and locks in a camel clutch. The referee moves down and asks Young if he quits and Young refuses.
Morgan releases the hold and looks down at Young with a cocky grin. Morgan picks Young up to his feet and pushes him back against the ropes. Morgan grabs the wrist of Eric and whips him across the ring. Young bounces off the ropes and Morgan attempts a clothesline but Young ducks it. Young bounces off the ropes again and Morgan turns around and once Young gets close enough, Morgan scoops Young up and slams him down with a spine buster. Morgan quickly picks Young up to his feet and whips him into a corner. Morgan takes a few steps back and charges at Young. Young suddenly ducks down and rolls out of the way and as Morgan goes for a running boot, he misses and straddles the top rope and turnbuckle. Morgan manages to get his leg off the top rope and backs up holding his knee. Young runs across the ring to the corner and he quickly climbs the turnbuckles. Young looks back at the ring to where Morgan was standing. Morgan turns around and see’s Young perched on the top rope. Young leaps off the top turnbuckle going for a moonsault. Young connects with the moonsault and once on the ground Young hooks both legs of Morgan and the referee drops down and counts 1.…2.…3!
Lillian Garcia: “Here is your winner, Eric Young!â€
(Young jumps up shocked as does Morgan. Morgan’s and Young’s eyes meet and Matt charges and Eric quickly runs away from him and dives under the bottom rope and runs to the back. Morgan stands in the ring outraged and kicks the bottom rope. Morgan corners the referee and begins to argue with him about it being a fast count. Young is sitting on the entrance ramp shocked as he looks around astonished.)
Joey Styles: “Do you believe in miracles!?!? Eric Young has just beat Matt Morgan with a picture perfect moonsault!â€
JBL: “This is an outrage! That was a fast count and you damn well know it! Something needs to be done about this! I hope our general manager reverses this decision or something because a grave injustice has just occurred! Matt Morgan was robbed!â€
Joey Styles: “It wasn’t a fast count and you know it! Young upsets Morgan in a stunning victory!â€
JBL: “You got damn telescopes on your face and you still couldn’t see that was a fast count? Maybe I should slap those things off your face and you can go get some new ones because a blind man could see that was a fast count and I hope Young gets his ass beat by Morgan in the back!â€
Joey Styles: “Well anyways folks we need to take a quick break and we will be right back with some exciting tag team action!â€
-Commercial break-
-Returns to program-
Joey Styles: “Welcome back everyone and lets not waste anytime and get straight into some great tag team-â€
(A loud wolf howl can be heard throughout the arena and an repeating rap beat follows.)
Joey Styles: “What the hell?â€
JBL: “I bet this is it! Our new General Manager!â€
(A man 6’11†tall looking about 350 lbs walks out onto the stage in a suit holding a microphone. Kevin Nash stands there looking over the crowd as the crowd is popping loudly.)
Joey Styles: “Kevin Nash is our new General Manager? You have got to be kidding me!â€
Kevin Nash: “Damn it’s good to be back! Big Sexy is large and in charge baby! I am here to make Pro Wrestling Destiny the most exciting program on television. So I am not going to waste anytime standing around and babbling on about my plans. Actions speak louder than words. So as of right now, I am announcing the Global Tag Team Tournament! We will have teams from all over the globe to represent their countries. They will be competing for the chance to become the very first Destiny Tag Team Champions in the finals of this tournament. So in this next match up, whoever wins this match up will represent the United States in the Global Tag Team Tournament!â€
(Nash goes to the back as the first teams get ready to make their entrance.)
Joey Styles: “A tag team tournament? What an announcement from our General Manager Kevin Nash!â€
JBL: “What a change of tone from you Styles. See this is brilliant. Nash knows what the fans want and he came up with a blockbuster idea! Now let us see who is going to represent the good ol’ USA!â€
Global Tag Team Tournament Qualifier
Mega-Powers Vs Londrick
Lillian Garcia: : “The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is a Global Tag Team Tournament Qualifying match. Introducing first The team of Paul London and Brian Kendrick!â€
(London and Kendrick appear on the ramp wearing the black and white masks. They run down the ramp at full speed and slide into the ring under the bottom rope and kneel up in the middle of the ring and remove their masks.)
Lillian Garcia: “And their opponents, The Black Machismo Jay Lethal and Haas Hogan, The Mega-Powers!â€
(Ooooh Yeahhhh fills the arena and suddenly a mixture of Real American and Macho madness fill the arena as Haas Hogan and Black Machismo appear on the stage. Haas Hogan flexes down the ramp as Machismo is turning around pointing to the crowd. They enter the ring and play to the crowd.)
Haas Hogan and Brian Kendrick are both starting the match and begin to circle the ring, ready to begin their battle and as they draw ever closer to each other in the centre of the ring, they raise their arms to grapple but then Haas begins to pose and show off his “muscles†in signature Hogan style, turning around to show every member of the arena from every possible angle and Kendrick, not to be showed up, runs up the turnbuckle and leaps off, performing a corkscrew back flip and landing on his feet with precision. The crowd applauds both competitors as they shake hands in the centre of the ring and then grapple up. Haas has a distinct strength advantage over the much smaller Kendrick and pushes him all the way into the corner and holds him there until the referee breaks it up and Haas then poses again to get the crowd going before tagging in Jay Lethal. Jay Lethal then enters the ring and does the strut and goes “Ohhh Yeahhh†and this is now beginning to infuriate the team of London and Kendrick. Lethal offers Kendrick a handshake but Kendrick refuses and tags in London, which gets a few boos from some members of the crowd. London then comes running into the ring but runs straight into a kick to the midsection from Lethal and Lethal then runs to the ropes and comes back off them and goes for a sunset flip but London rolls through and hits Lethal with a dropkick to the face. London then crouches down and as Lethal gets up to his feet, London kicks him twice in the leg and he then whips Lethal to the ropes and as Lethal rebounds off the ropes, London dropkicks him in the knee and Lethal falls flat on his face and London then tags Kendrick back in. Kendrick then climbs up to the top rope and he waits for Lethal to get up to his feet and as Lethal does, Kendrick leaps off of the top rope but Lethal moves out of the way but Kendrick manages to land on his feet but as he turns around, Lethal hits him with a step-up enziguiri. Kendrick falls slowly to the mat and Lethal begins making his way over to his corner, with Kendrick in pursuit to stop him and Kendrick manages to grab Lethal’s leg but Lethal shakes it off and won’t let anything stop him as he tags in Haas Hogan. Haas runs into the ring, as does Paul London and Haas sidesteps out of his way and tosses him over the top rope and as Haas checks up on Lethal, Kendrick rolls him up from behind with a school boy. 1... Haas kicks out with ease!
Both Haas and Kendrick get up to their feet and Kendrick hits him with a few forearms and then whips Haas into the corner and Kendrick then runs towards Haas and hits a unique move, jumping up and driving both knees into the chest of Haas and as Haas comes stumbling out of the corner, Kendrick takes him down with a drop toe hold. Kendrick then climbs out of the ring through the middle rope and grabs onto the top rope with both hands, waiting for Haas to get up so he can pull off a springboard move but then Lethal distracts Kendrick yelling at him with his macho man accent and no-one can understand what he’s saying and then Haas grabs Kendrick and drags him back into the ring and as Kendrick gets back up, Haas shoves him to the ropes and as Kendrick stumbles back off of them, Haas hits him with an inverted atomic drop and then Haas takes Kendrick down with an arm drag and then as they get back up, Haas takes him down with another arm drag and then another and then as Haas gives Kendrick a cheeky grin, Kendrick doesn’t look too pleased as he tags in London. London then climbs into the ring, looking equally as pissed off as his tag team partner as he runs toward Haas and ducks underneath a big boot and rebounds off of the ropes and takes Haas down with a flying forearm. Haas then gets back up and is met with a chop from London as soon as he reaches his feet and he then hits Haas with a few more chops before he whips Haas but Lethal makes the blind tag as Haas reaches the ropes and Haas takes down London after rebounding off the ropes with a shoulder block and Lethal then climbs up to top rope and hits London with a frog splash and then goes for the pin. 1... 2 London kicks out! Lethal then gets up and he pulls London up to his feet with him and Lethal then begins to hit a series of his signature jabs and Lethal then whips London to the ropes and as London rebounds off the ropes, Lethal takes him down with a hip toss and then does a cartwheel before hitting London with a dropkick straight to the face of London.
Lethal then tries to pull London to his feet but London shoves him away and nails him with a super kick out of nowhere! Both men are now in the centre of the ring on the mat, both crawling towards their respective corners in hope of making the tag first to get the advantage and it looks like London has the advantage as he pulls his much smaller frame towards Kendrick before finally making the tag, with Lethal tagging in Haas around a second later. Kendrick runs across to Haas and he hits Haas with a few shots and then drags him to the centre of the ring and grabs him by the head and takes him down with a swinging neckbreaker. Kendrick then goes for the pin. 1... 2 Haas kicks out again! Kendrick doesn’t know what else he can do and is getting angry at both Haas and himself and Kendrick then begins to lay into Haas as much as he can, hitting Haas with punches and forearms while he’s on his knees but Haas somehow doesn’t seem to feel the punches as he battles his way up to his feet and Kendrick carries on throwing punches and forearms at Haas, who begins to shake violently, but that doesn’t stop Kendrick from throwing punches until Haas stands up straight, stares Kendrick in the eyes, points his finger and him and yells “YOUUU†to cheers from the crowd. Kendrick then tries throwing more punches at Haas but Haas counters all of them with punches off his own and Haas then Irish whips Kendrick to the ropes and as Kendrick rebounds off the ropes, Haas hits him with a big boot in the centre of the ring. Haas is now on fire as he does Hogan’s signature “I can’t hear you†pose to the crowd before running to the ropes and rebounding off them and hitting Kendrick with the Hogan leg drop! Haas then tags in Jay Lethal, who climbs up to the top rope and hits Kendrick with a diving elbow drop as Haas sends London flying off the apron and Haas shows off his muscles again as Lethal hooks Kendrick’s leg. 1... 2... 3!
Lillian Garcia: “Here are your winners and advancing to represent the United States in the Global Tag Team Tournament, The Mega-Powers!â€
JBL: “That is just great! We have two idiots who think this is 1988 representing the United States. How in the hell did this happen? Those losers London and Kendrick let down this entire nation.
Joey Styles: “Why are they idiots for imitating two of the most successful superstars in this industry? They fought a very exciting match and earned their spot. Well anyways folks we will be back with our main event of the evening!â€

Teddy Hart: “YOU and Harry? What makes you think you will even be representing us in the tournament? You aren’t even a Hart! You think you can waltz on in and call yourself part of the Hart Dynasty? You’re here because Nattie practically begged for us to give you a chance. So you better learn your place and shut your mouth!â€
(Teddy slaps T.J. across the face and as Wilson takes a few steps back, Nattie steps in between them.)
Nattie Neidhart: “Now is not the time to be fighting with one another! We have the chance to become the first Destiny Tag Team Champions!â€
Teddy Hart: Harry and I will be wrestling in that tournament. In the meantime why don’t you tell your little boyfriend to learn his place and let family business be discussed by actual family members.
Joey Styles: “Dissention in in the ranks of the Hart Dynasty it seems and they haven’t even competed yet.â€
JBL: “There is no dissention. Teddy Hart took the reigns and provided order. That kid thought he could just use his girlfriend to sneak into the legacy know as the Hart family? If Teddy wouldn’t have slapped him I would have.â€
Joey Styles: “Well your not exactly a Hart either.â€
JBL: “but I at least have respect to the man for god sakes not go running my mouth like you Styles.â€
Joey Styles: “Well anyways folks we are going to head to commercial break and we will be back after a few short messages.â€
