HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
The fans suddenly erupt as Desmond Wolfe's old UCW theme hits the PA system and from the backstage marches Desmond Wolfe, a shocking surprise as the first competitor to show on UCW Smackdown; Wolfe marches down to the ring with a cock sure look on his face.
After a few moments, he climbs into the ring and takes a microphone from a ring tech as the lights dim, with a single spot light pointed on him.
Desmond Wolfe: Alright listen up ya wankers, you are staring at the face of UWF Smackdown... The man that could not be beat, the man whose undefeated run was infamous on Saturday Night iMPACT... DESMOND WOLFE!
The crowd goes bonkers as Desmond Wolfe ushers them down in a manner only he can do.

The crowd again goes crazy, knowing the history of Wolfe and what he has done for the company's he's been in. He fixes his sunglasses, trying to hide a smile before he speaks.

JR: Woah! What an announcement by our new General Manger of Friday Night Smackdown! A Hardcore Championship match to kick off Friday Night.
Piper: I bet money, old Bryan is not going to be a happy camper after hearing this.
Wolfe has a big grin on his face as he exits the ring and fixes his sunglasses. Lillian Garcia enters the ring next to announce the combatants in the upcoming match.
June 8th 2012
The Pyros go off and the first ever UWF Smackdown in underway live from Pittsburgh Pennslyvania. The crowd is hot as they are real excited to be attending history. Signs of superstars drafted to Smackdown parade the audience as a UWF chant is heard flowing throughout the arena. The set is awesome with the Fist popping out of the stage and the lights a blue signaling the difference between its tuesday counterpart. The fans reach a fever pitch as we are taken to the announcer's table to begin the show, at the table are two legends of the Wrestling Businees, Jim "JR" Ross and The Hot Rod Roddy Rowdy Piper.
Jim Ross: By god what an atmosphere here at the Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh Pennslyvania where tonight history is made as UWF Smackdown makes its a debut. A debut people could be talking about for years to come. Well where are my manners, I got so caught up in the moment I forgot to introduce myself. I am Jim Ross but you can call me JR and I am alongside one the biggest legends in the business, The Hot Rod, Roddy Rowdy Piper. Piper it is a pleasure to be with you once again.
Rowdy Piper: Normally I'd make a fat joke, or talk about how your barbeque sauce sucks, but since this is such a historic event I'll keep it for later. What's up folks, we've got a great evening planned for you, unless you don't like wrestling in which case I say you stop read... I mean watching right now and go do something else.
JR: You'll have to excuse my partner he is getting a little senile in his old age. We've got some great action set up for you here tonight, as we have Champions in action tonight. Its pretty hard after the chaos of the UWF draft to get everything figured out but Hot Rod and I are going to try our best. Go for it partner.
Piper: We got the Hardcore Champion Daniel Bryan in action against the Animal Batista. The man who will challenge the Hardcore Champion at Starrcade Dean Ambrose facing off against the ugliest man I've ever seen Rob Van Dam, Dibiase taking on some punk from Long Island, and the United States Champion Brock Lesnar facing off against a Reality TV Star in our main event.
JR: Eloquently put Partner.
Piper: You want eloquent you should have hired Oprah for this job not me.
JR: All kidding aside folks, General Manager Desmond Wolfe, how strange is that to say, has announced our first match is going to be for the Hardcore Championship. Let's get it underway.
The camera's turn to the ring where everyone awaits the arrival of the first superstar.
Lillain Garcia: The following contest is our opening match of the evening and is for the UWF, Hardcore Championship! Introducing first, from Washington DC, he is the challenger, Batista!
[video=youtube;zO6mkpGwc5M]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zO6mkpGwc5M[/video]
The crowd lets off monster heat as the Animal Batista makes his way out to the ring hitting his chest pumped at the news he could walk out of Pittsburgh with Championship gold. The Animal gets down and pounds the ramp as sparks fly out of the stage causing more heat for the over the top superstar. Batista is all smiles and even mocking slaps some hands with some fans at ringside before climbing up the steps and walking into the ring. He bounces in the ring as he awaits his opponent.
JR: The latest news that this match is going to be contested for the Hardcore Championship has got to put the favor in the size and strength of Batista.
Piper: For a belt with such prestiege, particularly the fact they have a 2 out of three falls match in only a few short days for that belt, there is going to be alot of pressure on Bryan to retain here tonight.
Lillian Garcia: And the opponent, he is the UWF Hardcore Champion, Daniel Bryan!
[video=youtube;v9aAGEn10D8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9aAGEn10D8[/video]
The crowd continues to boo as the Hardcore Champion makes his way out to the ring. If having to defend the championship bothers him u can't tell as he comes out going YES YES YES! Bryan wastes no time in getting into the ring and staring down his opponent. He undoes the belt around his waist and takes off his shirt before both men prepare to begin the brutal match.
JR: And here we go folks, the very first match in UWF Smackdown history. This should be a slobberknocker.
The bell rings and Batista wastes no time kicking Daniel Bryan in the gut and attempting to go for the Batista Bomb early. Bryan, the technical champion quickly rolls onto the back of Batista and rolls him up but Batista kicks out before the ref can even go for the cover. Batista gets up and Bryan drives Batista to the mat with a drop toe hold before the Hardcore Champion puts the Animal into the Ankle Lock.
JR: And love him or hate him Daniel Bryan is a tremendous wrestler, taking down the Animal even though he out sizes Bryan by a bunch.
Piper: Batista would probably be better suited to just grab something heavy and hit Bryan with it!
Batista is quick to roll out of it and kick the Champion off, but Bryan is up quick and ready to go, but Batista isn’t going to let the match get any more out of control as he exits the ring to jarring from the crowd. The Pittsburgh fans having trouble picking someone to root for as Bryan follows Batista to the outside. It’s a mistake as Batista elbows the Champion in the side of the head before using his brute strength to throw Bryan hard into the barricade. The Animal smiles now as Bryan gets to his feet, the Animal grabs Bryan and again with his strength throws Bryan into the steel ring steps. The crowd half cheering, half jeering the Animal.
JR: And now the Animal Batista has managed to wrap his arms around the Hardcore Champion so to speak and is having his way in the early going of this match up.
Piper: The Animal’s strengths lie in brutalizing the smaller and quicker Bryan. If the Champion can’t walk, it will be easy to take the strap off him.
JR: I wouldn’t underestimate Bryan however, he has shown the true heart of a champion in his match ups with Dean Ambrose and while his mouth might be a big waste his ring ability is not.
Batista feels in control as he lifts up the ring apron and looks underneath the ring for anything he can find to punish his opponent here in the very first match on Smackdown. Batista pulls out a toaster and he can’t believe his eyes. The Animal quickly throws it aside and pulls out something else. This time it is an ironing board.
Piper: Who freaking put this stuff under the ring? Martha Stewart?!
Batista is furious as the crowd jeers him with a chant of “Get back to the Kitchen!†Batista can’t get rid of it as Bryan is coming back at him. Batista throws the ironing board at Bryan who catches it and tosses it aside only for the challenger to drive him to the floor with a clothesline. Batista points to his head acting like he is all smart. He picks up Bryan and drives him with his shoulders, almost spearing the Hardcore Champion into the announcer’s table. Bryan’s lower back is in serious pain now as the Animal lifts Bryan up and drops him back first on top of the table.
JR: And now the action is just mere feet in front of us. I don’t like this Piper, I’m not as agile as I used to be.
Piper: You haven’t been agile since you were four. Then you went to McDonalds and well look what we have now.
Batista turns towards the ring announcer’s area and picks up the ring bell and as Bryan is getting to his feet he rings the bell right in Bryan’s ears. The effect is staggering and the Animal laughs. The Hardcore Champion lashes out with a kick to the shins which feels like nothing more than a bug bite. Batista lunges at Bryan with the ring bell but Bryan instinctively brings Batista down to the floor with a drop toe hold. Bryan picks up the ring bell Batista dropped and as the Animal gets to his feet Bryan nails him over the head with the bell. Batista falls to the ground and Bryan screams out, Yes! Yes! Yes!
JR: And this is what I am talking about right here. I’ve never seen a superstar have their head so far up their own ass quite like the Hardcore Champion.
Piper: It still is nowhere near where his head would be if it were up your fat ass JR.
Bryan doesn’t go for the cover an unusual lapse in the former ROH star as he picks up Batista and tosses him into the ring. Bryan turns around and grabs a steel chair from underneath Lillian Garcia before hopping into the ring with it and waiting for the Animal to get to his feet. Batista gets to his feet and Bryan rushes him with the chair only for Batista to get a boot up and drive the chair back into Bryan’s face. The Hardcore Champion is down and Batista goes for the cover.
1…
2…
3.. NO!
JR: With bone-jarring impact the steel chair has just switched this match from the champion to the challenger.
Piper: That is what I love about Hardcore matches, just like that it changes in a second.
The Animal wipes away the ringing in his ears as his focus turns deadly right at the Hardcore Champion. Batista begins begging for Bryan to get to his feet, jumping up and down getting the mat hopping. Bryan does get to his feet and the Animal rushes him connecting with a brutal spear!
JR: Bah Gawd! The UWF Hardcore Champion just got broken in half by the Animal. Could we be opening Smackdown with a new champion being crowned.
Piper: Man my grandmother felt that one and she’s been dead for years, JR.
Batista quickly covers Bryan, the crowd can’t believe what they are seeing. The referee goes to count the pinfall.
1…
2…
3… NO!
JR: The fight in the Hardcore Champion isn’t out yet! I thought we were going to be looking at a big change to Smackdown’s plans for Starrcade.
Piper: That has to be so crushing to someone like Batista. Next time I bet you the Animal will go out of his way to break the Champion in half.
Batista grabs his head in frustration, but the veteran is not going to let his big chance slide just like this. The Animal is cold and focused as he heads over to the ropes and begins shaking them violently. He throws the thumbs up, followed by the thumps down to a mixed reaction as he turns towards the Champion and kicks him in the gut. He places Bryan between his legs…
JR: I think we are looking at a new champion here, the Animal is about to finish off his prey.
Piper: Bryan is going to be so pissed, it will be great!
The Animal picks up Bryan onto his shoulders when suddenly Bryan punches him square in the head. Suddenly the Animal collapses to the mat like he has been shot with a gun. Bryan looks like he’s seen a ghost as the camera pans down to his hand, where on them are a pair of brass knuckles. Bryan begins to laugh.
JR: Are you kidding me? Brass Knuckles? Where the hell did those come from?
Piper: That sneaky bastard! If he had a backbone I’d say he reminded me of me.
Batista is out like a light and Bryan kicks him onto his back before locking in the Yes Lock! The crowd is booing loudly seeing Bryan win in such a shameful way, possibly mocking Ambrose with it. Batista is out like a light and the official has no choice but to call for the bell.
Here is your winner and STILL UWF Hardcore Champion at 13:45 Daniel Bryan!
JR: And just like that Daniel Bryan has stolen victory out of the hands of defeat and retained the Hardcore Championship.
Piper: I feel kind of ripped off JR, but I got to admit what Bryan did there was cleaver. Dean Ambrose better be ready because if this is any indication Bryan is not afraid to get his hands dirty.
The official attempts to wake Batista up as Bryan walks up the ramp still Hardcore Champion shouting Yes! Yes! Yes! The crowd gives him major heat as Smackdown heads to the back.
The feed goes backstage into what seems like a completely black room where an unfamiliar face stands looking towards the camera*
Damien Sandow:
"All glory comes from daring to begin."
- Eugene F. Ware
Allow me to beg your indulgence for just one moment, my name is Damien Sandow and I am here to help all of you, and on the eve of a new beginning here in UWF. Beginnings point towards many things in our lives, whether it be the beginning of new life in parturition, or simply the start in another home. However most if not all beginnings bring about change, whether it be for the better or not is of course in the feeble hands of all you. And in that comes a lack of uncertainty, because by nature the indolent become addled at the mere thought of change. It is almost desponding to me to see the greater masses so lacking in basic function as to fear something so frivolous, no dare I say something so prevalent. For in change comes healing, in change comes perceptiveness, in change comes your salvation. With the commencement of a new brand, comes the dawning of a new era. Where I take in my hands the duty of saving all of you from yourselves, by giving you my higher standard to look up and aspire too. Why this benevolence in my part? A man who knows the finer things in life, soiling his extremity’s with the filth known as the common persons mind? It is quite simple, even for most of you viewing this evening. However in respect towards those not able to follow, I will do my best to slow my rate of speech as to accommodate your slower working minds I do understand my vernacular can be intimidating to those whose manners of speaking include acronyms for common words and series of misspellings for your own amusement. Simply put, you’ve lived your lives through the ignorance is bliss mentally, so much so that none of you could properly state you have done just that…Live. I however have been afforded with a higher intellect, so I am here to put an end to ignorance and show just how blissful perceptibility can be to all of you. Inside all of you lies an intellectual yearning to be enlightened, yearning for someone to guide you to the other side leaving doltishness behind in favor of acumen. Deducing that some of you…people… will not freely be saved, I will do only what is expected of me. Shine a light on those misleading your poor simple minds; expose those who have been able to oh so easily prey upon your emotions.
*Sandow looks down as if angry at those he mentioned, before continuing*
Fear not, for those aforementioned people will not hurt you anymore, for I shall hand you people your own lost intelligence and in doing so giving back your freedom. I stand for decency, taste, and intelligence and soon you all shall as well. For while those targeting your ignorance disgust me, it is not them completely at fault for simply gaining what they seek. As it is all of you who self-impose the ignorance upon yourselves, you seek not the knowledge but the lack there of as to stay in the dark for what you cannot see you simply believe cannot hurt you. Intellects such as myself would go to blame you for such ignorance, I however am a league above them. As I will be saving you from said ignorance, consider me your…intellectual savior of the masses. And before you come up to me, your minds washed of the mildew growing upon it, wishing to thank me simply know before you do that I do not seek your approval only your enlightenment…however I am behooved to not leave those wishing to thank their intellectual savior without so much as a response…Therefore I leave you with the only reply that seems appropriate for when the situation occurs…You’re Welcome.
*Sandow smiles as the screen fades off and on with the show.
The crowd inside the packed arena on this debut edition of Smackdown are on their feet waiting for the next happening.
'TIIIIIIME IS ON MY SIDE... YES IT IS!'
[video=youtube;PHVeyo4W18U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHVeyo4W18U[/video]
'Time Is On My Side' by legendary band, The Rolling Stones hits the PA system and the crowd immediately stand with intrigue. Before long a rather, rotund, individual steps out from behind the curtain wearing a straw hat, white slacks, a black tank top with a Hawaiian shirt over the top of it. Behind him stands a 7 foot tall, lumbering long haired individual.
Garcia: Introducing, from Lafayette, Louisiana, accomponied to the ring by Eli Cottonwood, weighing in at 295 pounds, Bray Wyatt!.
Bray Wyatt walks around ringside and grabs a microphone, his follower, the massive Cottonwood steps inside the ring and stands in front of the ring ropes facing the hard camera with his arms folded as Wyatt walks along the outside ring apron and begins to speak.
Bray Wyatt: I see all of you folks in the crowd judgin' me. I saw y'all judgin' me the moment I stepped out in front of y'all and that's 'cos that's what you people do. Y'all wait for yer favourite men to step out and you decide who you like and who you dislike. Well let me tell you, none of y'all can ever judge Bray Wyatt. There's only two entities in this world that can judge Bray Wyatt, and those men are Bray Wyatt himself... and God up in the sky, man. None of you are me, and all y'all certainly ain't God. So you keep your judgin' to yourself 'cos none of y'all know Bray Wyatt... but you all will when I'm done doin' what I'm doin' here in the UWF.
The crowd are listening in intently, yet meet Bray Wyatt with heat also, Wyatt continuing,walking up and down the ring apron with the excitement of an evangelical preacher.
And what I'm gonna do is make my mark. And maybe teach y'all somethin' when I'm doin' it. Y'see my daddy, he pulled me outta school when I was a little boy, maybe 7 or 8, he said I wasn't like the other kids and that I had to leave school because the teachers didn't like me none. Well daddy ain't here no more, he's gone... up in flames, man, he burned, and he's burnin' in hell now with Lucifer n' the demons, man. I'm an educated man now... I'm so educated now that I can read that good book backwards and take in every word, every psalm, every gospel... Luke, John, Mark n' Matthew man, I grew up with them boys, and they was good men...they taught me right from wrong and they taught me to love thy neighbour and treat every man with respect and love, man. And I really do try to live by them words... and I think I do a damn fine job, but when I look out to a crowd of men, women and their kids, I can't help but wish y'all took some notes and read the good book a few times.
The crowd boo Wyatt, not enjoying the Southerner's tone.
But then again, I can help all of you. I can help every single one of you and I am in the process of doin' so right now. You don't know it yet, but I'm in your heads... I'm in your thoughts and I'm damn sure in your prayers... some might call me god's messenger... some might call my a heretic and a lunatic and a psycho, but man, I ain't neither of them... I'm Bray Wyatt... and if you could just listen to me... heed my words... y'all can come and join me...
Bray drops his head and stands with his arms resembling Jesus' crucifixion. The crowd are giving some intense heat before Wyatt continues and sings for the crowd.
Tiiiiiime... is ooooon myyyyy siiiide...
Wyatt lowers his head once more and whispers.
Come with me...
Wyatt then enters the ring.
Lillian Garcia: And his opponent, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Weighing in at 158 pounds, Kit Osbourne!.
Vs
The bell rings and Bray Wyatt walks out to his opponent and puts forward his hand. The enhancement talent reluctantly shakes the man's hand. Wyatt nods his head and smiles at the youngster before taking some steps back into the corner. He faces into the corner before turning round and charging the jobber who he forces into the corner with an Avalanche Splash. Bray Wyatt then lies back on the ropes and seems to be in full conversation with the barely conscious Osbourne. Bray then puts him up onto the top rope before standing with his back to him, raising his arms up in a crucifix position and lifting Osbourne out before flipping him over and dropping him to the mat with a sit-out slam of some description. Wyatt helps his opponent up to his feet and grabs his hand before beginning to waltz around the ring with his lifeless body. The crowd are sitting in stunned amazement as Wyatt dances around the ring, singing to himself an undecipherable tune, Wyatt stops in the centre and looks his opponent in the eye before kissing him on the forehead and taking him down with a Tornado Inverted STO.
Cole: I don't even know what to call that, but this guys a loon!.
Bray Wyatt rolls over onto his back and begins to laugh to himself, he gets up and looks around at the crowd and yells 'Y'all are bein' saved right now!'. Wyatt then proceeds to lift his opponent up onto his feet before lifting him into the air and dropping him with a release Spinebuster. Wyatt then sprawls across his opponent for the cover.
1...
2...
...3
Winner: Bray Wyatt!.
The crowd are in a state of confusion as Bray Wyatt hugs his opponent on the mat and proceeds to shake his lifeless hand. EMT's attend to Kit Osbourne as Bray Wyatt and Eli Cottonwood make their respective ways back up the ramp and behind the curtain. The jobber is still being attended to as we go to a commercial break.
The fans suddenly erupt as Desmond Wolfe's old UCW theme hits the PA system and from the backstage marches Desmond Wolfe, a shocking surprise as the first competitor to show on UCW Smackdown; Wolfe marches down to the ring with a cock sure look on his face.
After a few moments, he climbs into the ring and takes a microphone from a ring tech as the lights dim, with a single spot light pointed on him.
Desmond Wolfe: Alright listen up ya wankers, you are staring at the face of UWF Smackdown... The man that could not be beat, the man whose undefeated run was infamous on Saturday Night iMPACT... DESMOND WOLFE!

The crowd again goes crazy, knowing the history of Wolfe and what he has done for the company's he's been in. He fixes his sunglasses, trying to hide a smile before he speaks.
Now, I have alot of business to get to tonight, this being me first day on the job, so 'ere is what we are going to do. Like me, you all like action and surprises, well I got one big one 'ere tonight. But that's later, right now, I'm going to surprise you now, cause up next, Daniel Bryan is going to face Batista in a Hardcore Championship match. Now you know that both men will be in it, to win it!

Batista gets to his feet and Bryan rushes him with the chair only for Batista to get a boot up and drive the chair back into Bryan’s face. The Hardcore Champion is down and Batista goes for the cover.
1…
2…
3.. NO!
JR: With bone-jarring impact the steel chair has just switched this match from the champion to the challenger.
Piper: That is what I love about Hardcore matches, just like that it changes in a second.
The Animal wipes away the ringing in his ears as his focus turns deadly right at the Hardcore Champion. Batista begins begging for Bryan to get to his feet, jumping up and down getting the mat hopping. Bryan does get to his feet and the Animal rushes him connecting with a brutal spear!
JR: Bah Gawd! The UWF Hardcore Champion just got broken in half by the Animal. Could we be opening Smackdown with a new champion being crowned.
Piper: Man my grandmother felt that one and she’s been dead for years, JR.
Batista quickly covers Bryan, the crowd can’t believe what they are seeing. The referee goes to count the pinfall.
1…
2…
3… NO!
JR: The fight in the Hardcore Champion isn’t out yet! I thought we were going to be looking at a big change to Smackdown’s plans for Starrcade.
Piper: That has to be so crushing to someone like Batista. Next time I bet you the Animal will go out of his way to break the Champion in half.
Batista grabs his head in frustration, but the veteran is not going to let his big chance slide just like this. The Animal is cold and focused as he heads over to the ropes and begins shaking them violently. He throws the thumbs up, followed by the thumps down to a mixed reaction as he turns towards the Champion and kicks him in the gut. He places Bryan between his legs…
JR: I think we are looking at a new champion here, the Animal is about to finish off his prey.
Piper: Bryan is going to be so pissed, it will be great!
The Animal picks up Bryan onto his shoulders when suddenly Bryan punches him square in the head. Suddenly the Animal collapses to the mat like he has been shot with a gun. Bryan looks like he’s seen a ghost as the camera pans down to his hand, where on them are a pair of brass knuckles. Bryan begins to laugh.
JR: Are you kidding me? Brass Knuckles? Where the hell did those come from?
Piper: That sneaky bastard! If he had a backbone I’d say he reminded me of me.
Batista is out like a light and Bryan kicks him onto his back before locking in the Yes Lock! The crowd is booing loudly seeing Bryan win in such a shameful way, possibly mocking Ambrose with it. Batista is out like a light and the official has no choice but to call for the bell.
Here is your winner and STILL UWF Hardcore Champion at 13:45 Daniel Bryan!
JR: And just like that Daniel Bryan has stolen victory out of the hands of defeat and retained the Hardcore Championship.
Piper: I feel kind of ripped off JR, but I got to admit what Bryan did there was cleaver. Dean Ambrose better be ready because if this is any indication Bryan is not afraid to get his hands dirty.
The official attempts to wake Batista up as Bryan walks up the ramp still Hardcore Champion shouting Yes! Yes! Yes! The crowd gives him major heat as Smackdown heads to the back.
The feed goes backstage into what seems like a completely black room where an unfamiliar face stands looking towards the camera*
Damien Sandow:
"All glory comes from daring to begin."
- Eugene F. Ware
Allow me to beg your indulgence for just one moment, my name is Damien Sandow and I am here to help all of you, and on the eve of a new beginning here in UWF. Beginnings point towards many things in our lives, whether it be the beginning of new life in parturition, or simply the start in another home. However most if not all beginnings bring about change, whether it be for the better or not is of course in the feeble hands of all you. And in that comes a lack of uncertainty, because by nature the indolent become addled at the mere thought of change. It is almost desponding to me to see the greater masses so lacking in basic function as to fear something so frivolous, no dare I say something so prevalent. For in change comes healing, in change comes perceptiveness, in change comes your salvation. With the commencement of a new brand, comes the dawning of a new era. Where I take in my hands the duty of saving all of you from yourselves, by giving you my higher standard to look up and aspire too. Why this benevolence in my part? A man who knows the finer things in life, soiling his extremity’s with the filth known as the common persons mind? It is quite simple, even for most of you viewing this evening. However in respect towards those not able to follow, I will do my best to slow my rate of speech as to accommodate your slower working minds I do understand my vernacular can be intimidating to those whose manners of speaking include acronyms for common words and series of misspellings for your own amusement. Simply put, you’ve lived your lives through the ignorance is bliss mentally, so much so that none of you could properly state you have done just that…Live. I however have been afforded with a higher intellect, so I am here to put an end to ignorance and show just how blissful perceptibility can be to all of you. Inside all of you lies an intellectual yearning to be enlightened, yearning for someone to guide you to the other side leaving doltishness behind in favor of acumen. Deducing that some of you…people… will not freely be saved, I will do only what is expected of me. Shine a light on those misleading your poor simple minds; expose those who have been able to oh so easily prey upon your emotions.
*Sandow looks down as if angry at those he mentioned, before continuing*
Fear not, for those aforementioned people will not hurt you anymore, for I shall hand you people your own lost intelligence and in doing so giving back your freedom. I stand for decency, taste, and intelligence and soon you all shall as well. For while those targeting your ignorance disgust me, it is not them completely at fault for simply gaining what they seek. As it is all of you who self-impose the ignorance upon yourselves, you seek not the knowledge but the lack there of as to stay in the dark for what you cannot see you simply believe cannot hurt you. Intellects such as myself would go to blame you for such ignorance, I however am a league above them. As I will be saving you from said ignorance, consider me your…intellectual savior of the masses. And before you come up to me, your minds washed of the mildew growing upon it, wishing to thank me simply know before you do that I do not seek your approval only your enlightenment…however I am behooved to not leave those wishing to thank their intellectual savior without so much as a response…Therefore I leave you with the only reply that seems appropriate for when the situation occurs…You’re Welcome.
*Sandow smiles as the screen fades off and on with the show.
The crowd inside the packed arena on this debut edition of Smackdown are on their feet waiting for the next happening.
'TIIIIIIME IS ON MY SIDE... YES IT IS!'
[video=youtube;PHVeyo4W18U]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PHVeyo4W18U[/video]
'Time Is On My Side' by legendary band, The Rolling Stones hits the PA system and the crowd immediately stand with intrigue. Before long a rather, rotund, individual steps out from behind the curtain wearing a straw hat, white slacks, a black tank top with a Hawaiian shirt over the top of it. Behind him stands a 7 foot tall, lumbering long haired individual.
Garcia: Introducing, from Lafayette, Louisiana, accomponied to the ring by Eli Cottonwood, weighing in at 295 pounds, Bray Wyatt!.
Bray Wyatt walks around ringside and grabs a microphone, his follower, the massive Cottonwood steps inside the ring and stands in front of the ring ropes facing the hard camera with his arms folded as Wyatt walks along the outside ring apron and begins to speak.
Bray Wyatt: I see all of you folks in the crowd judgin' me. I saw y'all judgin' me the moment I stepped out in front of y'all and that's 'cos that's what you people do. Y'all wait for yer favourite men to step out and you decide who you like and who you dislike. Well let me tell you, none of y'all can ever judge Bray Wyatt. There's only two entities in this world that can judge Bray Wyatt, and those men are Bray Wyatt himself... and God up in the sky, man. None of you are me, and all y'all certainly ain't God. So you keep your judgin' to yourself 'cos none of y'all know Bray Wyatt... but you all will when I'm done doin' what I'm doin' here in the UWF.
The crowd are listening in intently, yet meet Bray Wyatt with heat also, Wyatt continuing,walking up and down the ring apron with the excitement of an evangelical preacher.
And what I'm gonna do is make my mark. And maybe teach y'all somethin' when I'm doin' it. Y'see my daddy, he pulled me outta school when I was a little boy, maybe 7 or 8, he said I wasn't like the other kids and that I had to leave school because the teachers didn't like me none. Well daddy ain't here no more, he's gone... up in flames, man, he burned, and he's burnin' in hell now with Lucifer n' the demons, man. I'm an educated man now... I'm so educated now that I can read that good book backwards and take in every word, every psalm, every gospel... Luke, John, Mark n' Matthew man, I grew up with them boys, and they was good men...they taught me right from wrong and they taught me to love thy neighbour and treat every man with respect and love, man. And I really do try to live by them words... and I think I do a damn fine job, but when I look out to a crowd of men, women and their kids, I can't help but wish y'all took some notes and read the good book a few times.
The crowd boo Wyatt, not enjoying the Southerner's tone.
But then again, I can help all of you. I can help every single one of you and I am in the process of doin' so right now. You don't know it yet, but I'm in your heads... I'm in your thoughts and I'm damn sure in your prayers... some might call me god's messenger... some might call my a heretic and a lunatic and a psycho, but man, I ain't neither of them... I'm Bray Wyatt... and if you could just listen to me... heed my words... y'all can come and join me...
Bray drops his head and stands with his arms resembling Jesus' crucifixion. The crowd are giving some intense heat before Wyatt continues and sings for the crowd.
Tiiiiiime... is ooooon myyyyy siiiide...
Wyatt lowers his head once more and whispers.
Come with me...
Wyatt then enters the ring.
Lillian Garcia: And his opponent, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Weighing in at 158 pounds, Kit Osbourne!.
The bell rings and Bray Wyatt walks out to his opponent and puts forward his hand. The enhancement talent reluctantly shakes the man's hand. Wyatt nods his head and smiles at the youngster before taking some steps back into the corner. He faces into the corner before turning round and charging the jobber who he forces into the corner with an Avalanche Splash. Bray Wyatt then lies back on the ropes and seems to be in full conversation with the barely conscious Osbourne. Bray then puts him up onto the top rope before standing with his back to him, raising his arms up in a crucifix position and lifting Osbourne out before flipping him over and dropping him to the mat with a sit-out slam of some description. Wyatt helps his opponent up to his feet and grabs his hand before beginning to waltz around the ring with his lifeless body. The crowd are sitting in stunned amazement as Wyatt dances around the ring, singing to himself an undecipherable tune, Wyatt stops in the centre and looks his opponent in the eye before kissing him on the forehead and taking him down with a Tornado Inverted STO.
Cole: I don't even know what to call that, but this guys a loon!.
Bray Wyatt rolls over onto his back and begins to laugh to himself, he gets up and looks around at the crowd and yells 'Y'all are bein' saved right now!'. Wyatt then proceeds to lift his opponent up onto his feet before lifting him into the air and dropping him with a release Spinebuster. Wyatt then sprawls across his opponent for the cover.
1...
2...
...3
Winner: Bray Wyatt!.
The crowd are in a state of confusion as Bray Wyatt hugs his opponent on the mat and proceeds to shake his lifeless hand. EMT's attend to Kit Osbourne as Bray Wyatt and Eli Cottonwood make their respective ways back up the ramp and behind the curtain. The jobber is still being attended to as we go to a commercial break.
==========================================================================
UWF Smackdown Heatwave... COMING SOON!
==========================================================================
Lillian Garcia: The following contest is scheduled for one fall! Introducing first, from Battle Creek Michigan, please welcome, Rob Van Dam!
[video=youtube;OAMVDXrsSf8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OAMVDXrsSf8[/video]
The crowd goes nuts as "One of a Kind" hits the PA system as the brand new Mr. Friday Night comes out to huge a decent pop. Van Dam is clearly excited as he does his traditional R... V... D... at the top of the ramp. Van Dam than sprints down to the ring, sliding in under the bottom rope and getting up spinning around in the ring. Van Dam gets up to the turnbuckle and goes R... V... D... one more time before beginning to strecth for his match.
JR: Well after the last match which saw Daniel Bryan in action we are now going to see his opponent in action against this man, Rob Van Dam. And I don't think I've ever seen Van Dam in better shape than I do right now.
Piper: He probably isn't lighting any joints. When Van Dam is all there in the head he can bring, of that I have no doubt.
Lillian Garcia: And the opponent from Cincinnati Ohio, weighing in tonight at 225 lbs. Dean Ambrose!
[video=youtube;eBR3vwYJCiE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBR3vwYJCiE[/video]
The crazy ex-Hardcore Champion comes out to the ring to the biggest pop of the night so far. The sadistic Ambrose looks determined and angry, not a good combination for his opponent. Ambrose gets into the ring as quickly as he can before turning towards the crowd and the cameras to taunt. Van Dam just watches from the corner of the ring.
JR: Ambrose in his short career here in UWF has been in some of the most hellacious matches I've ever witnessed. and I can't say what an honor it will be to call that two out of three falls match at Starrcade.
Piper: Ambrose kinda reminds me of me when I was his age. Absolutely batshit crazy and I love it!
The bell rings and the crowd is split much like the last match only this time it is cheers instead of jeers. Ambrose and RVD look like they are going to tie it up in the center of the ring when both men stop and RVD attempts a round house kick that Ambrose dodges but just barely. The former Champion smirks as the two tie up in the center of the ring. RVD brings Ambrose into a headlock and looks to apply the takedown but Ambrose sends RVD into the ropes. RVD comes back and Ambrose goes for a hip toss, but RVD counters out of it before sending Ambrose to the mat with a hip toss of his own. Ambrose gets to his feet and is immediately hit in the back of the knee with a sharp kick. Ambrose used to pain shrugs it off and sends a kick to the back of RVD’s knee. Van Dam having old injuries there falters and Ambrose unleashes a roundhouse kick of his own. RVD manages to dodge most of the impact but the kick brushes off him and he goes down to the mat.
JR: And back and forth this match goes, exactly what I expected when I heard these two would be in a match against each other.
Piper: This is ridiculous. I’m so tired of this sissy kicking crap get to the wrestling already.
RVD gets back to his feet and is staggered, allowing Ambrose to come at him hard and drop him with a clothesline. RVD gets up and Ambrose drops him with another clothesline. RVD again gets up and Ambrose frustrated now slams RVD to the mat with a traditional body slam. Ambrose screams now as the crowd cheers him on as he bounces off of the ropes and brings an elbow into the heart of his opponent. Ambrose quickly goes for the cover.
1…
2…JR: RVD gets a shoulder up, but the number one contender to the UWF Hardcore Championship is in firm control here in the early going.
Piper: You’d never guess Ambrose was such a force, he looks like a kitten compared to most of the superstars on the roster.
JR: Even kittens have claws Hot Rod.
Ambrose brings RVD to a seated position before driving his lengthy arms into the chest and body of RVD. Ambrose is a master of pain however and drives the back of his knees into RVD’s lower back. RVD is hurting now as Ambrose brings him up to his feet, sets him up and unloads with a brutal suplex before going for the cover.
1…
2…RVD kicks out!
Ambrose puts his arms on his hips smiling. He is enjoying the fight RVD is showing as he picks up Mr. Friday Night but this time before he can do anything RVD strikes out with his elbows and Ambrose is totally caught off guard. RVD nails Ambrose with elbows and deadly kicks until he sends Ambrose shooting off of the ropes Ambrose comes back and RVD nails a spinning heel kick that sends Ambrose crashing to the mat. Ambrose is down and RVD is never one to let anything go bounces off the ropes, the crowd behind him, before delivering his Rolling Thunder. Van Dam is quick to make the cover.
1…
2…
3.. NO!
Ambrose gets the shoulder up.
JR: And now Van Dam is putting everything he has into this match looking to put Ambrose away.
Piper: How is rolling around on the ground going to do anything?
Van Dam nods his head in a sign of respect for Ambrose kicking out of the move. Van Dam picks up Ambrose and drives him into the ropes with elbows. Ambrose fights back however and counters the whip and sends Van Dam flying into the official. The crowd oohs as the ref goes down and Van Dam turns back around only to be hit with a Knee Trembler from Ambrose and the crowd cheers.
JR: And a brutal knee from Ambrose, man it looked like it knocked RVD’s teeth right out of the back of his head.
Piper: I’m sorry JR, but I never understood how a move like that could be considered a finisher JR.
JR: This coming from a man who was beaten by a leg drop for most of his career.
Ambrose sees the official is down and curses as the mother’s cover the ears of their children. “Well since there is no ref.†Ambrose shrugs before exiting the ring. And much like what his opponent Daniel Bryan did earlier he grabs a chair from underneath Lillian Garcia who can’t believe it and gets back into the ring the crowd cheering. Ambrose bounces the chair off his head checking to make sure its steel and very satisfied begins banging it against the mat waiting for Van Dam to get to his feet.
JR: Ambrose is one sadistic individual, the longest reigning Hardcore Champion in UWF history showing why he was right here and now.
Piper: The guy has clearly taken one too many chair shots JR if he is bouncing it off his own forehead.
Ambrose lets Van Dam reach his feet and Ambrose with a sick smile on his face prepares to strike, but Van Dam has some experience in Hardcore style matches especially involving chairs and spins on one leg hitting Ambrose with a Van Daminator. The crowd pops as RVD goes for the cover and maybe the upset. The ref now rolling on the mat begins to make the cover.
1…
2…
3.. NO!Ambrose kicks out at the last second and Van Dam cannot believe it and neither can the sold out Consol Center. Van Dam has a look of “Woah†on his face as he gets back to his feet.
Piper: Man oh man, this Ambrose kid is nuts, I don’t know anybody who could possibly kick out of something like that.
JR: Mighty impressive as you can see Piper. Hence why he’s one of the faces of the blue brand and Smackdown’s first overall pick.
RVD keeps his chilled persona as he turns his attention to the top rope and the crowd goes nuts. Van Dam is going to be feeling froggy now as he hops up to the top rope prepared to jump and end the match when suddenly Van Dam lunges the other way and lands on top of a competitor making his way to the ring, the Animal Batista! The crowd loves it as Batista goes down and Van Dam gets up and does his usual Rob…Van…Dam…
JR: Van Dam making quick work of Batista but what the hell is the Animal doing down here?
Piper: I thought he’d still be spending time with the sandman but I guess he has a harder noggin than I thought.
Van Dam gets back on the apron before once again heading up to the top turnbuckle looking for the Frog Splash, but the distraction has given Ambrose time to recover and he jumps up and shoves Van Dam, causing Van Dam to fall onto the turnbuckle, his groin paying the price. Van Dam falls to the mat and Ambrose is all smiles as he picks Van Dam up lifts him up in a suplex and drops him in a DDT. Ambrose has scored with his One Hitter once again before going for the cover.

Here is your Winner at 13:56 Dean Ambrose!
JR: Well I will be a monkey’s uncle, Ambrose manages to pull out the victory again, though you have to wonder how things would have turned out if it hadn’t been for the surprise appearance of Dave Batista.
Piper: I’m sure Ambrose is just happy to get the victory JR, who cares how it was done. In the record book it will have a W next to his name.
Ambrose celebrates with the fans as he makes his way up the ramp victorious. Leaving Van Dam in the ring helpless as the Animal Batista gets into the ring, looking down at the prone Van Dam. Batista screams in anger before lifting Rob up into the air and sends his body into the canvas with a brutal and devastating Batista bomb. Fire lights Batista’s eyes as he calls for a microphone.
JR: Now what the hell was that for? Why in God’s name would the Animal deliver such a brutal Batista Bomb to a defenseless opponent?
Piper: Roid rage?
Batista lets the heat die down before beginning to speak.
Batista: I came out here for one reason, and that was to take out Dean Ambrose and get inserted into the Hardcore Championship match as his replacement so I could get my hands on that coward Daniel Bryan again. But No! Cause you had to play Hero RVD. Well since I now can’t get into the match I’m free for Starrcade to punish and hurt someone. And the good news is that man is going to be you Rob. At Starrcade I am going to break you in half and make you my bitch!
The Animal throws down the mic to major heat from the crowd as Batista again picks up the near lifeless body of RVD. Batista sends Van Dam crashing to the mat once again with another bone shattering Batista Bomb.
JR: Good lord, Batista is going to paralyze Rob Van Dam right here and now, someone get out here and stop this.
Piper: He won’t paralyze him here tonight, JR, otherwise he wouldn’t have a match at Starrcade, but in 9 days if I were Van Dam I’d watch out for sure!
The Animal leaves the ring to monster heat as Smackdown heads to the back.

Fans are waiting anxiously for the debut episode of UWF Smackdown to continue, as we cut backstage. A superstar is standing before the camera, wearing a cowboy hat with his head down blocking his face, he looks up to reveal himself as The Heart Break Kid Shawn Michaels.
The crowd erupts as he smirks, taking in the HBK chants, HBK! HBK! HBK! He begins to speak
What would a debut episode of Smackdown be without a appearance from the Heart Break Kid? The Show Stoppa? The Icon? Mr Wrestlemania himself? I just left our new GM's office after signing my name on the dotted line, cause these wheels still got a lot of traction left in them. I may have retired two years ago from the WWE, but this is a whole new ball game. I left cause I accomplished everything there was to do in that company. I was sitting at home at my ranch with my very own TV Show, I was content to live my life outside the ring, before I got the call from a old friend. They said hey man, the UWF is the newest and hottest thing, and they just had a brand extension, you should check them out. So I placed a few phone calls, and signed one of the biggest contracts this company has ever seen.
A pop from the crowd as they show their love for HBK
The Heart Break Kid is here to stay, and he's here to do business. Cause while any one of these guys can run around and say their the best, and they are going to be World Champion, you're looking at the man who has done it all, and has won it all. While they may make promises, I'll deliver. Cause It doesn't matter who they place in front of me, The Show Stoppa will once again be World Champion..
Shawn Michaels walks off screen as we go to commercial.

The cameras cut to an empty parking lot just outside of a stadium. The camera pans over to show a sleek black Mustang and, on the hood, is none other than Jeff Jarrett, one of the mainstays of TNA.
Jeff Jarrett: Hey, folks, sorry to take you away from a riveting night of cookie cutter wrestling, but ole Double J has a few things to get off his chest. If you look here behind me, you can see the present home of the Pittsburg Steelers, Heinz Field. Beautiful ain’t it? A work of modern technology and commercial success. But, I have to be honest. What you see behind you was built on the back of a much greater heritage. The Steelers of today are a bunch of spoiled rotten children living for their contracts and their big money; much like the rest of the football industry and, to be honest, much like the rest of the spoiled world; not just Pittsburg. (Crowd begins to turn on Jarrett) They have no idea of the rich history of what a real football team can do when they stop whining and start winning. I’m talking about the Steelers of the 70s who played at Three Rivers Stadium rain or shine, mud or blood. They wouldn’t come off the field because they stubbed their damned toe, they would play on like men in an age when there were men in football, hell there were men in Pittsburg then. So, what happened? Where did they go?
Jarrett slides off the hood and starts to walk and the camera follows. The noise in the arena lets us know that the citizens of Pittsburg don’t appreciate what he’s had to say so far.
Jeff Jarrett: Now, you’re asking yourself, Double J, what does this have to do with wrestling and the UWF? Well, unfortunately, it has a lot to do with it. You see, I’ve been in this business a long time and I’ve seen legends come and go. But what we have in wrestling today is nothing but the professional wrestling equivalent to the spoiled, soft and untalented mess that we see in Pittsburg every fall.
The crowd can be heard giving Jarrett hell in the arena.
Jeff Jarrett: I saw the death of the WCW at the hands of Eric Bischoff. Then, I’ve watched the constant death march of originality in the WWE for the last decade. Now, I stand here wondering what in the hell my own creation, TNA, is doing letting Hulk Hogan flush a decade of growth of young talent down the toilet. So, here I am. Looking for a trace of real, old school wrestling. And, my search has brought me to the UWF. And, I’m afraid I don’t have anything better to say about them. Here we have the same soft Prima donas that have plagued the business since Hogan hit it big in the eighties. Guys like Batista and Lesnar? Really? Cry babys and Divas! John Cena? Vince MacMahon’s adopted son? Do any of these guys know what it’s actually like to get into a real fight? And don’t start with Lesnar and his MMA career. He has no idea what it’s like to wrestle night after night; sacrificing his body for the fans. Oh, HELL NO! Ted DiBiase and the Miz? Listen, if this is the best you have, maybe I should just keep looking. Cause I intend to bring wrestling back to its roots. Where two men get into the ring and fight. Are any of you BOYS ready for a fight? No Kayfabe! No storyline! Just Double J, Jeff Jarrett, kickin’ your ass in the ring?
Jeff Jarrett steps into the camera, closeup.
Jeff Jarrett: I don’t think so. (He smiles) I don’t think so.
Fade to black.
Lillian Garcia: The following contest is scheduled for one fall, introducing first from West Palm Beach, Florida, weighing in at 214 lbs. Ted Dibiase Jr!
[video=youtube;eHi8v1NWzn4]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHi8v1NWzn4[/video]
The crowd gives off a mixed reaction as Dibiase comes out smiling prepared for his match up on his brand new show. Dibiase shows off his finely fit abs to the crowd. The man gets into the ring still smiling, not looking like he is taking the business at hand very seriously. He shows off to jeers from the crowd as he waits for his opponent to come down to the ring.
Lillian Garcia: And the opponent, from Long Island New York, Zach Ryder!
[video=youtube;Cqad-tqMOpA]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cqad-tqMOpA[/video]
Ryder comes out to a very strong pop as he has a big smile on his face. He is looking alot more serious than Dibiase does as he gets into the ring and gets the crowd behind him. Ryder begins mocking Dibiase to the delight of the crowd as he takes off his shirt and glasses preparing for the match.
Ryder gets the crowd behind him as the bell rings and Dibiase grabs him and throws him into a headlock. The crowd boos Dibiase as Ryder quickly shoves Dibiase into the ropes before attempting to clothesline Dibiase but Junior ducks underneath the move and stops his momentum dead, Ryder turns around only to be dropped by a gorgeous looking drop kick from the second generation superstar. Dibiase gets up and points to himself saying not this time.
JR: Dibiase of course talking about the loss he faced to Ryder a few weeks ago on Raw. Dibiase is clearly looking for a fresh start here on the blue brand and getting this monkey off his back would be huge.
Piper: Have you taken a look at Zach Ryder JR, he looks and acts like a monkey.
Dibiase brings Ryder to his feet before smacking him across the face and the crowd gives Dibiase some heat. Ryder doesn’t like it any more than the fans and responses with a big right hand that staggers Dibiase. Ryder again nails another right hand and a third before throwing his arm into the air pumping it as the crowd goes WOO WOO WOO, and unleashing a fourth and final blow that sends Dibiase to the mat. Dibiase falls to his knees and takes sanctuary in the corner, but when he gets to his feet Ryder is there unleashing several hard knife edge chops to the Million Dollar son. Dibiase comes out of the corner holding his chest in clear pain as Ryder unleashes with a dropkick of his own to the delight of the crowd. “Sorry Broski.†Ryder smirks as the crowd pops.
Piper: Let me JR. Bah Gawd! What a dropkick?! He got knocked down like a govern mule. How did I do?
JR: Stick to your day job Partner. For all our sakes.
Ryder picks up Dibiase and smacks Dibiase across the face, Ryder is not going to be bullied around. Dibiase comes back with a swing but Ryder ducks underneath it and comes up back hitting Dibiase in the gut with a sharp kick before grabbing Dibiase around the neck and connecting with a swinging neckbreaker. Ryder goes for the cover.
1…
2…
Dibiase kicks out.
Ryder picks up Dibiase like he was nothing and sends him sailing off the ropes Ryder goes for another clothesline but Dibiase ducks it. Ryder turns around as Dibiase bounces back at him and Ryder goes down to send him flying over his back but Dibiase has it scouted and sends his boot into Ryder’s chest. Ryder gets up and turns his back to Dibiase who grabs Ryder from behind and lifts him up into the air in a full nelson before bringing Ryder down into a backbreaker. The move is quite impressive as Dibiase goes for the cover to the chagrin of the crowd.
1…
2…
3. NO!
JR: And an impressive showing from Dibiase with a full nelson backbreak but it was not quite enough to do away with Zach Ryder here in the early going.
Piper: Impressive yes, did it get the job done, No! And in this business it is all about results.
“Look at greatness peasants, for it’s the closest you’ll ever get.†Dibiase throws out his arms as if a ruler or a king. Dibiase than turns his attention towards the turnbuckle where he gains a sick smile that keeps getting bigger as he begins undoing the top pad of the ring corner. The metal in the turnbuckle appears and Dibiase turns back to his opponent, he is shocked to see that Ryder is back on his feet. Dibiase comes at Ryder but Ryder catches him and lifts him bringing him down with a flapjack slam. The crowd loves it as Dibiase is forced now to use the corner to get to his feet. It is clear the wind has been taken out of him as he sits in the corner, a big mistake as Zach Ryder full head of steam comes in and nails him with the Broski Kick to a big pop. Ryder brings Dibiase out of the corner and goes for the cover.
1…
2…
Dibiase kicks out and Ryder can’t believe it.
“Not cool Broski.†Ryder says shaking his head and fixing his spiked hair. Ryder picks up Dibiase and begins to set him up for the Rough Ryder but Dibiase dodges it and Ryder lands hard on his butt. Ryder gets to his feet and Junior attempts to send him whipping into the corner, but Ryder reverses it and sends Dibiase into the opposite corner, the one with the exposed turnbuckle. Dibiase manages to catch himself before he hits the corner much to the dismay of the crowd. Ryder comes at Dibiase, but Dibiase gets an elbow into Ryder’s face before grabbing Ryder’s head and slamming it down hard onto the steel turnbuckle. The crowd boos as Ryder is seriously hurting as Dibiase grabs him from behind in a cobra clutch style before slamming him down to the mat completing Dream Street. Dibiase laughs as he goes for the cover.

Here is your Winner at 8:25: The Million Dollar Son: Ted Dibiase Jr.
JR: What crap is that? Ted Dibiase just blatantly threw Ryder’s head into that exposed turnbuckle, there was no way Ryder was going to be able to overcome that. What a down right hideous victory there by the son of the Million Dollar Man.
Piper: Oh quit the holier than thou crap JR. You said it yourself Dibiase needed to get the monkey off his back and he did it by beating the monkey to death. I can see now why those Target gits wanted him to make an appearance, this man doesn’t just have money, he is money.
Dibiase is indeed all smiles and confidence, his arrogance at an all-time high as he exits the ring and heads to the back. The crowd is real unhappy with the outcome as Ryder looks on in disgust as Smackdown heads to another short commercial break.
Jeff Jarrett: Hey, folks, sorry to take you away from a riveting night of cookie cutter wrestling, but ole Double J has a few things to get off his chest.

==========================================================================
MOAR MARIA BRINK!!!
==========================================================================
The cold chill of the back of the arena, met by a chilling green light adds to the tense atmosphere to what has really been a celebration tonight. The first ever Smackdown in the UWF era has gone according to plan so far and everyone is enjoying themselves. Seemingly however, that is not the case, and as the camera swings round, the fans all jump out of their seats in delight as to who it shows.
The returning Jeff Hardy waits for all the cheers to finish, and he looks down into his lap. He sighs before starting to speak.
Jeff Hardy: For too long has professional wrestling been synonymous with the rags to riches, the zero to hero tale that ultimately ends in triumph for the viewer. For too long, has the powers that be above and beyond what happens in the ring had a grip on what is right, and wrong for the universe we all find ourselves a part of. For too damn long, has this, what has gone on tonight, been the stale product of our industry. All in the name of competition, all in the art of the contest. Gone are the days where you would have to pit yourself in a war against your opponents to gain respect. Gone are the days when people only loved you when you were going on top of ladders, climbing the tallest of titan-trons, and jumping off steel cages. All you need these days, are a two-bit gimmick and a simple finishing maneuver. Where's the heart!? Where's the soul that I grew up with gone?!
The crowd show a mixed reaction, not sure how to take what Jeff is saying.
I have made it my responsibility, to ensure that this "product" we have been used to for so long, this product that has dragged our industry down from the days of glory, to something that can be epitomized as a joke, and start to drag it back up to it's original best, even if I have to do it single-handedly. I for one have had enough of my legacy and so many others being turned into idiocy and comedy. There is no comedy in professional wrestling... only pain and suffering and sacrifice. I will delve into the folding abyss that is the UWF, and destroy everything that has harmed the art. It's time turn wrestling back into the winner take all, sordid state that it once was. Consider me.... the "Antichrist".
And as quick as that, the tron was black. No fade, just pure darkness instantly. A sign of things to come?
Lillian Garcia: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is your Main Event. Introducing first from Cleveland Ohio, The Miz!
"AWESOME"
[video=youtube;TEFzJ9ftuNc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEFzJ9ftuNc[/video]
The crowd boos heavily as the duo of The Miz and Paul Heyman come out from behind the curtains. The two heads straight for the ring without even listening to the hatred the fans are pouring on them. As The Miz heads inside the ring, he heads to the closest corner and climbs the middle turnbuckle and holds his arms in a cocky way in the air while Paul Heyman takes his place at ringside.
JR: I don't believe I'm saying this, but if Smackdown wants the European title at Starrcade we are going to have to cheer for this man, the self proclaimed must see superstar in UWF history.
Piper: He's our shot at the European Championship?! We are so screwed.
Lillian Garcia: And his opponent, he is the UWF United States Champion... Brock Lesnar!!!!
[video=youtube;42ibut56Aaw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42ibut56Aaw[/video]
Lesnar comes out to the ring dressed for action, the United States Championship draped around his waist like a badge of honor. However Lesnar does not look his usual self as he comes out without the usual jump in his step. Lesnar appears to be having trouble walking straight down the ramp as he begins bouncing up and down at the bottom of the ramp. Lesnar screams in rage as he hops up to the apron, and almost slips off had it not been for the ropes. Lesnar gets into the ring and unhooks his belt and gives it to the official.
Piper: Is he drunk or something? I thought that was supposed to come from the guy we just saw a promo of earlier.
JR: I don't think he's drunk Hot Rod. Remember Lesnar was attacked by his opponent at Starrcade Cody Rhodes beat him to within a inch of his life. I think Brock might be injured worse than we thought.
Piper: Well this is the one sport in the world where you don't get ahead for being a sissy JR. Lesnar is showing what us old vets had, balls.
Lesnar and Miz are about to get it underway as the ref goes for the bell when...
Whoa Oh
[video=youtube;Giwckon0Qhw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Giwckon0Qhw[/video]
JR: What in...
all eyes turn towards the stage as the crowd boos heavily knowing who that song signals, Cody Rhodes comes walking out on stage. Taking his jacket off and tossing it aside he starts rolling up his sleeves as he looks down to the ring as if he's about to fight.
JR: I thought there might of been some error with the truck, but no that is Cody Rhodes Ladies and Gentleman. What on earth is he doing here.
Piper: Whatta ya mean Ross, like he's ever waited for a reason to take up t.v time.
Rhodes gets a smirk on his face before turning and reaching to his jacket pulling out a microphone as he stands on the stage lifting it up when his music fades off.
Cody Rhodes: This is Smackdown huh?
JR: We all knew that, and we're kind of getting set for a match here.
Piper: Don't waste your breath Ross this kids too arrogant to listen even if he could hear ya.
Cody Rhodes: Amazing, how a show with so much hype behind it can start out so so low on the scale. I cannot even begin to get across how..."happy" I am that I got drafted to Raw when the brands were split because to see what is in store here. A Show with two old timers who are too senile to recall what they had to breakfast let alone be competent enough to call a wrestling match.
Piper: I'd like to hear ya say that down here I tell you.
JR: I understand trying to get noticed, but this is a match.
Cody Rhodes: And seeing the sad excuse for a...Roster i've seen throughout this night I am almost disgusted to have this show associated with UWF. Oh wait...I'm sorry am I, Interrupting something here?
Rhodes puts his hand over his eyes as if stopping the lights from hitting his eyes to see whose in the ring
Cody Rhodes: Brock? Brock is that you? this is what you call your first Main event, Brock Lesnar is your First main event. Oh Brock you don't look so well you seem like you don't even know where you are. Well Brock for this moment, and this moment only I envy you because at least you don't even realize what show you're on. But Do You feel that throbbing sensation on your head, do you feel the room spinning, that is what Cody Rhodes does to you. You thought you could "intimidate" me last week on Raw, I showed you I am not someone to test. And you know what the saddest thing is Brock, the saddest thing was how easy it was. I thought the machine would at least be a challenge but I showed just how you fair against someone who knows how to break men down. And even in those dazed eyes I can see anger, Are you angry Brock? huh? or is that fear knowing that the big bad Brock Lesnar was just all hype when it ran into the actual...*rhodes touches his mask*...Monster.
JR: Can someone please cut this mans microphone, how was he even allowed in the arena.
Cody Rhodes: You know what, I planned on making an impact tonight. But I already did just by appearing on this show the ratings have already spiked as high as they will ever get, I'm above this show I'm above all these people here who don't know the common courtesy to shut their mouths when someone important is talking.
the crowd boos as Rhodes looks around, he reaches down pulling up his coat and draping it over his arm
Cody Rhodes: And most important of all, I am above you Brock. So if you're really that angry why don't you come looking for me, we both know how our last scuffle ended up, well you might not remember but then again I don't even think you remember you're own name sometimes. I can't wait to save the United States Championship from the sinkhole it has fallen into.
JR: Finally
Piper: Hold up a moment here, I don't think Brock is ready to see Cody leave.
Rhodes snarls, as Brock waves Rhodes over. Rhodes lifts his microphone
Cody Rhodes: What's that Brock you want to try you're hand again, well I'll be more than happy to fullfill your-
As Brock is looking towards Rhodes on the stage...
...Rhodes gets a smirk on his face as he leaves the stage back through the curtain.
The distraction costs Lesnar as the Miz rips the United States Championship out of the officials hands and nails Lesnar in the back of the head with it. The already possibly concussed superstar hits the mat hard and the crowd begins booing their heads off at the Miz. The Miz insults Lesnar, telling him he should pay attention to the Miz.
JR: Are you kidding me? What a no good cheap shot by the Miz and the match hasn’t even started yet.
Piper: Now that is what I call knocking your opponents block off. Ha!
Paul Heyman is in the refs face yelling for the official to ring the bell. The official not knowing what else to do rings it starting the match up. Lesnar tries to get up but the Miz kicks Lesnar in the back of the skull and the former Next Big Thing rolls out of the ring and hits the ring floor hard. The Miz can’t believe his bad luck as he quickly follows Lesnar outside the ring and picks Lesnar up. Goading Lesnar to hit him. Something is clearly wrong with Brock as he is wobbly and his eyes look like he isn’t there. He takes a swing and easily misses and Lesnar loses his balance. The Miz laughs.
JR: This is absolutely disgusting, how could the doctors allow Lesnar to show up tonight, he is helpless here.
Piper: Well to be honest JR, that US title belt to the head couldn’t have made things better.
The Miz has had his fun as the US Champions expense and grabs him before driving him head first into the ring post. Lesnar is leaning against the post he looks absolutely awful as the Miz grabs Lesnar and tosses him back into the ring. The Miz gingerly gets into the ring shouting he’s awesome before covering the Champion.
1…
2…Lesnar kicks out!
The crowd is shocked into cheers and the Miz can’t believe it. Heyman is on the outside shouting in anger at the official who tells him it was clearly a two count. The Miz slaps his hands on the mat but figures it is still a done deal as he brings Lesnar up to his feet. The Miz yells at Lesnar for being stupid and not staying down getting right in Lesnar’s face. Lesnar uses the opportunity to slap the Miz across his face which sends the crowd into an uproar. The Miz holds his face clearly having not expected that, rushes Lesnar but Brock catches him with a clothesline.
JR: And somehow the United States Champion is fighting back. You have to wonder how much left in the tank Brock has.
Piper: Lesnar is fighting like a caged animal. He’s going on instinct, fighting for his life right here right now.
The Miz is the receipient of yet another clothesline as Lesnar screams in anger trying to clear his head. It appears to work for a brief second as the Miz is caught by Lesnar and sent to the mat with a belly to belly suplex. It appears to have taken more out of Lesnar as he stays down on the mat for an extra second longer than he probably should. He gets to his feet albeit slowly just in time to drive the Miz to the mat with a brutal clothesline. Lesnar quickly goes for the cover.

The Miz kicks out!
JR: You have to feel for Lesnar here. He needs to put this match away quick, as with his now clear injury, the longer it lasts the better the Miz has the advantage.
Piper: The Miz needs to just survive right now JR, if he can do that he should easily beat a concussed United States Champion.
Lesnar knows he must put things away quickly for he can feel both his vision and his strength leaving him quickly. Lesnar gets the Miz to his feet and picks him up on his shoulders looking for the F-5 to end the match, but the Miz elbows Lesnar in the back of the head and Lesnar falls to a knee, dropping the Miz as well. The Miz goes for a boot to Lesnar’s head but Lesnar ducks it and grabs the Miz before rolling him up for the cover.

3.. NO!
JR: The Miz getting a shoulder up at the last second, and Lesnar almost stole one from the Miz.
Piper: Imagine what that would do for our chances of winning the European Championship match at Starrcade JR. That would not be awesome.
JR: I’m more worried about Smackdown being able to keep the United States Championship right now partner.
The Miz has had it as he gets to his feet, Lesnar still on his knees. Lesnar tries to defend his head but it is no use as the Miz unleashes a boot right to his head to massive heat. Lesnar hits the mat looking almost unconscious as the Miz mounts Lesnar and begins driving hard jabs and hooks right into Lesnar’s skull. The ref counts to 4 and the Miz is still going at it, nailing Lesnar in the head again and again to major heat. Not wanting to have the match end in a DQ the referee grabs the Miz and throws him off of Lesnar to the delight of the crowd.
JR: And the official is doing his job and protecting Lesnar you just don’t see officials doing that much anymore.
Piper: Officials are as useful as old people driving. They just get in the way and cause problems. You would know all about that.
JR: I’ve heard some stories about your driving partner, perhaps it is time for you to stop getting in the way.
Piper is left speechless by either JR’s wit or stupidity as the official checks on Lesnar and gets no response. He goes to ring the bell but the Miz grabs his arm and stops him. “We’re not ending it that way!†Heyman yells from the apron. “Finish him.†Heyman points at Lesnar as the Miz smiles, picking up the helpless Lesnar as if he were a toy. The Miz takes his time, letting the heat rise on him in the ring before sending Lesnar to the mat with the Skull Crushing Finale. There is no doubt now, Lesnar is not going to get up as the Miz makes the cover. The official gets down and counts quickly, the outcome academic.

Winner at 5:23 The Number One Contender to the European Championship: The Miz!
The Miz is all smiles as the crowd unloads on the Cleveland native. Paul Heyman enters the ring with a microphone before speaking.
Paul Heyman: What you have just witnessed by my client is domination plain and simple. He dominated Brock Lesnar like the Philadelphia Flyers did to the Pittsburgh Penguins.
The crowd goes for the cheap heat, what being in the home of the Penguins in Pittsburgh.
Paul Heyman: Antonio Cesaro, I hope you’ve been watching, because in 9 days it will be you and my client alone in a steel cage match, and I promise there will be no one to watch your back like last time. I promise the Miz will use that cage to disfigure and destroy you. My client will be taking the European Championship, not for Smackdown, not for any of you, but for him and him alone. You may be European Cesaro but you my friend are clearly outclassed, because my client is not only an American, but he is AWESOME!!!
The crowd boos as Heyman throws the mic down and raises the Miz’s hand in victory.
JR: I can’t tell you how disgusting Paul Heyman is. And the fact the Miz won’t even speak are you kidding me?
Piper: The Miz isn’t going to talk to anyone until he wins that European Gold, and after what we’ve just witnessed here tonight Smackdown may not be screwed after all.
Lesnar is seen being attended by paramedics as the Miz continues to garner heat in the ring as UCW Smackdown heads to its last commercial break.
The returning Jeff Hardy waits for all the cheers to finish, and he looks down into his lap. He sighs before starting to speak.
Jeff Hardy: For too long has professional wrestling been synonymous with the rags to riches, the zero to hero tale that ultimately ends in triumph for the viewer. For too long, has the powers that be above and beyond what happens in the ring had a grip on what is right, and wrong for the universe we all find ourselves a part of. For too damn long, has this, what has gone on tonight, been the stale product of our industry. All in the name of competition, all in the art of the contest. Gone are the days where you would have to pit yourself in a war against your opponents to gain respect. Gone are the days when people only loved you when you were going on top of ladders, climbing the tallest of titan-trons, and jumping off steel cages. All you need these days, are a two-bit gimmick and a simple finishing maneuver. Where's the heart!? Where's the soul that I grew up with gone?!
The crowd show a mixed reaction, not sure how to take what Jeff is saying.
I have made it my responsibility, to ensure that this "product" we have been used to for so long, this product that has dragged our industry down from the days of glory, to something that can be epitomized as a joke, and start to drag it back up to it's original best, even if I have to do it single-handedly. I for one have had enough of my legacy and so many others being turned into idiocy and comedy. There is no comedy in professional wrestling... only pain and suffering and sacrifice. I will delve into the folding abyss that is the UWF, and destroy everything that has harmed the art. It's time turn wrestling back into the winner take all, sordid state that it once was. Consider me.... the "Antichrist".
And as quick as that, the tron was black. No fade, just pure darkness instantly. A sign of things to come?
Lillian Garcia: The following contest is scheduled for one fall and is your Main Event. Introducing first from Cleveland Ohio, The Miz!
"AWESOME"
[video=youtube;TEFzJ9ftuNc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEFzJ9ftuNc[/video]
The crowd boos heavily as the duo of The Miz and Paul Heyman come out from behind the curtains. The two heads straight for the ring without even listening to the hatred the fans are pouring on them. As The Miz heads inside the ring, he heads to the closest corner and climbs the middle turnbuckle and holds his arms in a cocky way in the air while Paul Heyman takes his place at ringside.
JR: I don't believe I'm saying this, but if Smackdown wants the European title at Starrcade we are going to have to cheer for this man, the self proclaimed must see superstar in UWF history.
Piper: He's our shot at the European Championship?! We are so screwed.
Lillian Garcia: And his opponent, he is the UWF United States Champion... Brock Lesnar!!!!
[video=youtube;42ibut56Aaw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42ibut56Aaw[/video]
Lesnar comes out to the ring dressed for action, the United States Championship draped around his waist like a badge of honor. However Lesnar does not look his usual self as he comes out without the usual jump in his step. Lesnar appears to be having trouble walking straight down the ramp as he begins bouncing up and down at the bottom of the ramp. Lesnar screams in rage as he hops up to the apron, and almost slips off had it not been for the ropes. Lesnar gets into the ring and unhooks his belt and gives it to the official.
Piper: Is he drunk or something? I thought that was supposed to come from the guy we just saw a promo of earlier.
JR: I don't think he's drunk Hot Rod. Remember Lesnar was attacked by his opponent at Starrcade Cody Rhodes beat him to within a inch of his life. I think Brock might be injured worse than we thought.
Piper: Well this is the one sport in the world where you don't get ahead for being a sissy JR. Lesnar is showing what us old vets had, balls.
Lesnar and Miz are about to get it underway as the ref goes for the bell when...
Whoa Oh
[video=youtube;Giwckon0Qhw]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Giwckon0Qhw[/video]
JR: What in...
all eyes turn towards the stage as the crowd boos heavily knowing who that song signals, Cody Rhodes comes walking out on stage. Taking his jacket off and tossing it aside he starts rolling up his sleeves as he looks down to the ring as if he's about to fight.
JR: I thought there might of been some error with the truck, but no that is Cody Rhodes Ladies and Gentleman. What on earth is he doing here.
Piper: Whatta ya mean Ross, like he's ever waited for a reason to take up t.v time.
Rhodes gets a smirk on his face before turning and reaching to his jacket pulling out a microphone as he stands on the stage lifting it up when his music fades off.
Cody Rhodes: This is Smackdown huh?
JR: We all knew that, and we're kind of getting set for a match here.
Piper: Don't waste your breath Ross this kids too arrogant to listen even if he could hear ya.
Cody Rhodes: Amazing, how a show with so much hype behind it can start out so so low on the scale. I cannot even begin to get across how..."happy" I am that I got drafted to Raw when the brands were split because to see what is in store here. A Show with two old timers who are too senile to recall what they had to breakfast let alone be competent enough to call a wrestling match.
Piper: I'd like to hear ya say that down here I tell you.
JR: I understand trying to get noticed, but this is a match.
Cody Rhodes: And seeing the sad excuse for a...Roster i've seen throughout this night I am almost disgusted to have this show associated with UWF. Oh wait...I'm sorry am I, Interrupting something here?
Rhodes puts his hand over his eyes as if stopping the lights from hitting his eyes to see whose in the ring
Cody Rhodes: Brock? Brock is that you? this is what you call your first Main event, Brock Lesnar is your First main event. Oh Brock you don't look so well you seem like you don't even know where you are. Well Brock for this moment, and this moment only I envy you because at least you don't even realize what show you're on. But Do You feel that throbbing sensation on your head, do you feel the room spinning, that is what Cody Rhodes does to you. You thought you could "intimidate" me last week on Raw, I showed you I am not someone to test. And you know what the saddest thing is Brock, the saddest thing was how easy it was. I thought the machine would at least be a challenge but I showed just how you fair against someone who knows how to break men down. And even in those dazed eyes I can see anger, Are you angry Brock? huh? or is that fear knowing that the big bad Brock Lesnar was just all hype when it ran into the actual...*rhodes touches his mask*...Monster.
JR: Can someone please cut this mans microphone, how was he even allowed in the arena.
Cody Rhodes: You know what, I planned on making an impact tonight. But I already did just by appearing on this show the ratings have already spiked as high as they will ever get, I'm above this show I'm above all these people here who don't know the common courtesy to shut their mouths when someone important is talking.
the crowd boos as Rhodes looks around, he reaches down pulling up his coat and draping it over his arm
Cody Rhodes: And most important of all, I am above you Brock. So if you're really that angry why don't you come looking for me, we both know how our last scuffle ended up, well you might not remember but then again I don't even think you remember you're own name sometimes. I can't wait to save the United States Championship from the sinkhole it has fallen into.
JR: Finally
Piper: Hold up a moment here, I don't think Brock is ready to see Cody leave.
Rhodes snarls, as Brock waves Rhodes over. Rhodes lifts his microphone
Cody Rhodes: What's that Brock you want to try you're hand again, well I'll be more than happy to fullfill your-
As Brock is looking towards Rhodes on the stage...
...Rhodes gets a smirk on his face as he leaves the stage back through the curtain.
The distraction costs Lesnar as the Miz rips the United States Championship out of the officials hands and nails Lesnar in the back of the head with it. The already possibly concussed superstar hits the mat hard and the crowd begins booing their heads off at the Miz. The Miz insults Lesnar, telling him he should pay attention to the Miz.
JR: Are you kidding me? What a no good cheap shot by the Miz and the match hasn’t even started yet.
Piper: Now that is what I call knocking your opponents block off. Ha!
Paul Heyman is in the refs face yelling for the official to ring the bell. The official not knowing what else to do rings it starting the match up. Lesnar tries to get up but the Miz kicks Lesnar in the back of the skull and the former Next Big Thing rolls out of the ring and hits the ring floor hard. The Miz can’t believe his bad luck as he quickly follows Lesnar outside the ring and picks Lesnar up. Goading Lesnar to hit him. Something is clearly wrong with Brock as he is wobbly and his eyes look like he isn’t there. He takes a swing and easily misses and Lesnar loses his balance. The Miz laughs.
JR: This is absolutely disgusting, how could the doctors allow Lesnar to show up tonight, he is helpless here.
Piper: Well to be honest JR, that US title belt to the head couldn’t have made things better.
The Miz has had his fun as the US Champions expense and grabs him before driving him head first into the ring post. Lesnar is leaning against the post he looks absolutely awful as the Miz grabs Lesnar and tosses him back into the ring. The Miz gingerly gets into the ring shouting he’s awesome before covering the Champion.
1…
2…Lesnar kicks out!
The crowd is shocked into cheers and the Miz can’t believe it. Heyman is on the outside shouting in anger at the official who tells him it was clearly a two count. The Miz slaps his hands on the mat but figures it is still a done deal as he brings Lesnar up to his feet. The Miz yells at Lesnar for being stupid and not staying down getting right in Lesnar’s face. Lesnar uses the opportunity to slap the Miz across his face which sends the crowd into an uproar. The Miz holds his face clearly having not expected that, rushes Lesnar but Brock catches him with a clothesline.
JR: And somehow the United States Champion is fighting back. You have to wonder how much left in the tank Brock has.
Piper: Lesnar is fighting like a caged animal. He’s going on instinct, fighting for his life right here right now.
The Miz is the receipient of yet another clothesline as Lesnar screams in anger trying to clear his head.

Commercial
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOWLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
The fans suddenly erupt as Desmond Wolfe's old UCW theme hits the PA system and from the backstage marches Desmond Wolfe down to the ring without his cock sure look on his face. He doesn't look happy at all.
After a few moments, he climbs into the ring and takes a microphone from a ring tech as the lights dim, with a single spot light pointed on him.
Desmond Wolfe: You’ll have to excuse my foul mood, but I just watched my United States Champion being stretchered into an ambulance and the prognosis is about as good as an STD. Which makes my announcement ‘ere tonight even more important. And if I’m going to be doing that, I need a certain ugly mug, an old acquaintance of mine from the good old days. So Daniel Bryan you big wanker, get down ‘ere now!
[video=youtube;v9aAGEn10D8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9aAGEn10D8[/video]
Daniel Bryan’s music hits as the Hardcore Champion makes his way down to the ring. Bryan holds the Hardcore Championship above his head screaming Yes! Yes! Yes! Clearly still celebrating over his victory over Batista earlier in the night. He gets into the ring as the crowd dies down and waits for the General Manager to speak.
Desmond Wolfe: Well would we look at you. Still acting like a giant tool I wager what with the whole Yes thing! But don’t worry Danielson, old chap, what I simply want is to see the Hardcore Championship, so if you’d give it ‘ere.
Bryan looks skeptical and instead of handing the belt right over he takes a microphone and begins to speak.
Daniel Bryan: Nigel, I don’t know who in their right mind would put a thug and a creep like you in charge of a brand, but it is what it is. Now I know our history, particularly back in ROH, but let’s be honest here. You want this championship because I have single handedly taken it from being an absolute joke of a championship, and made it into the most important championship in this industry. Yes!
Bryan proceeds to go off on another round of yes chants, the crowd is chanting along with him regardless of his heel status.
Daniel Bryan: I am the best in the world, Nigel, and even before your little retirement you knew I was better than you. I am still better than you and since you know it, you want to hold the most precious thing in the world to your show, especially now that your big bad monster got taken out by a glorified reality TV star. But have no fear Nigel, because after I beat Ambrose, not just once, but twice in a row, you can…
[video=youtube;eBR3vwYJCiE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eBR3vwYJCiE[/video]
Bryan is cut off by the entrance of his opponent at Starrcade as Dean Ambrose comes out to a massive pop. The former Champion gets into the ring and takes the mic violently out of Wolfe’s hand before beginning to speak.
Dean Ambrose: I’m sorry Daniel, but what was that I just heard? You made the Hardcore Championship? I’m sorry but who held the Championship for 100 days exactly? Who made everyone in those 100 days bleed and scream in agony? Was that you Daniel? I don’t think so. Because there is only one man who truly lives the words Hardcore, who loves making people bleed and scream, and that’s me. Cause at Starrcade, I prove that Backlash was nothing but a fluke, and when I beat you two falls in a row, I promise everyone here will know it! So why don’t you get your head out of your ass, ‘champ’, and give Nigel MY championship before I take it from you right here right now!
The fans go nuts at the possibility of violence erupting between these two men. Ambrose looks ready to kick Bryan’s teeth in as Bryan looks caught in a corner.
Desmond Wolfe: Well you wanker, what’s it going to be? Hand me the belt, or I take it after Ambrose ‘ere knocks your block off.
Bryan backed into a corner sighs before giving in and handing the title belt to Wolfe. Wolfe shakes his head as he looks down at the championship.
Desmond Wolfe: All this ruckus over this ‘ere title eh? You want to know what I think of this ‘ere belt?
Wolfe proceeds to throw the Hardcore Championship over his shoulder and outside of the ring to the shock of everyone, especially Bryan and Ambrose. Both men look at Wolfe before beginning to yell at him.
JR: What in the world is Desmond doing? Why did he just throw the Hardcore Championship out of the ring? He said he was in a foul mood, but has he lost it?
Piper: Shut up fat man and maybe we’ll find out!
Seeing both men are about to take Wolfe’s head off he smiles and puts his hands up as if he hasn’t finished. Ambrose and Bryan hold back as Wolfe speaks.
Desmond Wolfe: I see the two of you are getting your panties all messed up so let me tell you like it is. As of this official moment the UWF Hardcore Championship is officially VACANT!
JR: What?!
Piper: He can do that?
The crowd begins booing loudly very unhappy with the decision but Wolfe just keeps his cool stare, his eyes hidden behind the glasses he wears night in and night out.
Desmond Wolfe: Deal with it, cause right ‘ere and now it’s done. Neither of you are Champion so the feud is over, finished, done… Or is it? Because you see I have this little trinket ‘ere. Bring it out fellas.
Ambrose and Bryan both share a look as if trying to figure out what is going on as Desmond rubs his chin. Bryan mouths something at Wolfe the cameras can’t pick up. Out on the stage comes two members of the stage holding in their hands something that makes the whole arena’s jeers turn into deafening cheers. In their hands they are holding the UWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!
Desmond Wolfe: That’s right boys. The Wolfe was just having a little fun with you. You might not be Hardcore Champion anymore, but at Starrcade in a two outta three falls match, we’re going to decide the first World Champion in Smackdown history. Dean Ambrose or Daniel Bryan.
The crowd goes nuts as Ambrose and Bryan look at each other, the feud even getting more personal now as both men have a chance to make history in their careers. The two begin trashing each other, the Hardcore Championship forgotten about. Bryan picks up the mic.
Daniel Bryan: Yes! Yes! Yes! I’m the World Heavyweight Champion! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Wolfe slaps Bryan across the face to a huge cheer.
Desmond Wolfe: Sorry but No! No! No! No! No! You see just because you were the champion, you were stripped of it, and I sure as hell aren’t giving a moron like you the title out of the pity of my heart now am I. You want to be World Champion? Prove it at Starrcade, because you better be in it…
Before Desmond can finish Bryan nails Wolfe in the head with the microphone and a thump sound is heard throughout the arena.
JR: Bah Gawd what a cheap shot from Bryan on our General Manager, that was totally uncalled for.
Piper: He totally deserved it JR, he took away Bryan’s livelihood. He gets everything he…
Piper is interrupted as in the ring Bryan is brought down by Ambrose’s microphone. Ambrose smiles as Bryan is down and out and looks out at the crowd and they give Bryan a nice response. He puts the mic to his mouth.
Dean Ambrose: At Starrcade is Daniel Bryan going to become World Champion. No! No! No!
Ambrose keeps saying it until the crowd is chanting No, in a mockery of Bryan’s yes chant.
Dean Ambrose: Be prepared for some pain Bryan, because I promise you I will be the only one walking out of Starrcade with the World Heavyweight Championship.
Ambrose throws the mic down and exits the ring heading right up to the crew members and ripping the World Heavyweight Title out of their hands. Ambrose holds it high over his head as the first UWF Smackdown goes off the air.
End of Show!

Out on the stage comes two members of the stage holding in their hands something that makes the whole arena’s jeers turn into deafening cheers. In their hands they are holding the UWF WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP!
Desmond Wolfe: That’s right boys. The Wolfe was just having a little fun with you. You might not be Hardcore Champion anymore, but at Starrcade in a two outta three falls match, we’re going to decide the first World Champion in Smackdown history. Dean Ambrose or Daniel Bryan.
The crowd goes nuts as Ambrose and Bryan look at each other, the feud even getting more personal now as both men have a chance to make history in their careers. The two begin trashing each other, the Hardcore Championship forgotten about. Bryan picks up the mic.
Daniel Bryan: Yes! Yes! Yes! I’m the World Heavyweight Champion! Yes! Yes! Yes!
Wolfe slaps Bryan across the face to a huge cheer.
Desmond Wolfe: Sorry but No! No! No! No! No! You see just because you were the champion, you were stripped of it, and I sure as hell aren’t giving a moron like you the title out of the pity of my heart now am I. You want to be World Champion? Prove it at Starrcade, because you better be in it…
Before Desmond can finish Bryan nails Wolfe in the head with the microphone and a thump sound is heard throughout the arena.
JR: Bah Gawd what a cheap shot from Bryan on our General Manager, that was totally uncalled for.
Piper: He totally deserved it JR, he took away Bryan’s livelihood. He gets everything he…
Piper is interrupted as in the ring Bryan is brought down by Ambrose’s microphone. Ambrose smiles as Bryan is down and out and looks out at the crowd and they give Bryan a nice response. He puts the mic to his mouth.
Dean Ambrose: At Starrcade is Daniel Bryan going to become World Champion. No! No! No!
Ambrose keeps saying it until the crowd is chanting No, in a mockery of Bryan’s yes chant.
Dean Ambrose: Be prepared for some pain Bryan, because I promise you I will be the only one walking out of Starrcade with the World Heavyweight Championship.
Ambrose throws the mic down and exits the ring heading right up to the crew members and ripping the World Heavyweight Title out of their hands. Ambrose holds it high over his head as the first UWF Smackdown goes off the air.
End of Show!
