(The camera pans across the Montgomery County Fairgrounds as the 300 fans in attendance start to cheer. The camera switches to David Mills, who is wearing a headset and is up at the broadcast booth.)
David: Hello, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to something a little different for your average wrestling fan. This is the Midwestern Establishment of Competitive Combat Arts, or MECCA. And this is Go Time, right here on DATV! I'm David Mills, and I'll be calling the action along with...
(Dick Broccoli steps in front of the camera.)
Dick: You thought you could get rid of me, Dayton? It's me, Dick Broccoli, back calling the action again!
David: You think you can behave yourself this time? We don't want another incident like what happened on your last night in RCW. Anyway, one of our owners, Katie Piehl, should be out shortly to introduce the MECCA concept and...
("Destroy" by Soul Casket plays, and Nykk makes his way to the ring.)
David: Wait a minute... it's Nykk!
Dick: Of course it's Nykk, David. He's the one who started this company.
David: Yeah, but we were set to have his business partner Katie Piehl out here to address the crowd... I guess this shouldn't be a surprise, but isn't it enough that Nykk try and ruin RCW with his shenanigans? He has to pull these stunts on his own show, affecting his own business?
Dick: It's his company. He can do what he wants. We haven't even heard him out yet.
(Nykk gets a mic, and waits for the boos and the cheering of a few hardcore fans glad to see him back in Dayton die down.)
Nykk: Well, I bet you missed me, didn't you? It is I, Nykk, back in Dayton, Ohio, after finally leaving this dump and touring with Renegade Championship Wrestling. And why am I back, you ask? I'm sure you fans saw the advertisements for MECCA, the Midwestern Establishment of Competitive Combat Arts. But what you may not have known... is that this is my show. If any of you wondered what I was doing while I was away from RCW for three months, you can rest assured I wasn't just sitting at home doing nothing. I worked a little in Japan... called in a few favors... struck a few deals... the result of which is standing here before you. I saw something in Dayton over the last couple of years... potential. My personal goal has been to take this ratty, bum-infested, rundown town and turn it into the nexus of the wrestling industry! Look at what we already have... of course WWE stops through here in its circuit. This is definitely ROH country... this is the home base for RCW... and even smaller Ohio promotions like the HWA stop through here periodically. Regardless of what else it is, this is a great wrestling town, and I aim to make it even greater with MECCA! This is a promotion where only the tough survive, and no, I'm not talking ECW garbage match tough. I'm talking knock you out, break your bones, kick you in the skull as hard as possible tough. And as everyone knows there is no better way to judge the toughest than by introducing a championship. I don't want to waste any time in doing that, and in case you haven't figured it out... there's a pretty good nominee for champion standing right here in this ring. But I wouldn't just give myself a title... that proves nothing. I've proven a lot during my exploits with RCW, and one of those thing is that I'm one of the best wrestlers in this industry. So tonight, I will have an opponent, and he has agreed to this. The winner of that match will become the first MECCA Champion. Our feud already built one promotion, and it's going to build another. It will be myself against Ronin Fox!
(The crowd goes nuts.)
Dick: Whoa!
David: I can't believe what I'm hearing! Nykk and Fox will face off for the first time since their feud ended at Wrestling Revolution I?
Nykk: One more thing I ought to tell you... I devised a little gimmick for this promotion, that I've named the MECCA Challenge. You see...
(Nykk's mic cuts off out of nowhere, and he continues talking, oblivious.)
Dick: Uh...
David: We're having some technical problems... I wanted to hear about this MECCA Challenge. What is it?
Katie: Hold on!
(Katie Piehl makes her way to the ring, carrying a mic.)
Katie: I think you've said enough, Nykk. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Katie Piehl, Nykk's fifty-percent partner.
David: There's Katie Piehl. She was supposed to be out here, not Nykk.
Nykk: (mic cuts back in) ...do you want, Katie? I'm in the middle of telling these idiots what they're going to see from us.
Katie: I said, that's enough. Look, I may not know a lot about the wrestling business, and I'm sure that's why you wanted to be business partners. Luckily, we have a board of directors that does know the wrestling industry. And they sent me a bunch of footage of you in RCW. So we decided to take steps. You no longer make the decisions around here.
Nykk: What are you talking about? This is my promotion!
Katie: Yes, this is your promotion, but I talked it over with the board, and we came to the same conclusion. There is a definite conflict of interest in you making booking decisions here in MECCA. Yes, your presence here is one of the main selling points of MECCA, but you are definitely not stable enough to be running this show. That's why the board has given me complete control as the booker of this company, and as a wrestler, you will from this moment on, adhere to my decisions while in the arena!
(Nykk throws down his mic and goes ballistic.)
David: How about that? Nykk's reign of terror never even got off the ground! His own track record shot him in the foot.
Dick: It's our first fifteen minutes and we're already off to a crappy start!
Katie: There, I'm glad to see things are back to normal. Now, I apologize to all you fans, because tonight you will not see the crowning of a MECCA Champion or Nykk vs. Ronin Fox. You can blame him for getting your hopes up like that. The MECCA Champion will be crowned, and it will be on April 30 at, appropriately enough, the MECCA Challenge! The MECCA Challenge is something that we will use whenever something needs to be settled... a grudge, title dispute, whatever. In the MECCA Challenge, there are no pinfalls, count-outs or disqualifications. The only way to win is to make your opponent submit... or knock them out. But that won't be until April 30. As for tonight... Nykk, you want to be in action so bad? Well, we have a tag team in the back... you all may have heard of them. They're from the city of Chicago, and bear the moniker the "Second City Saints." They are Ace Steel... and the straight-edge himself, C.M. Punk!
(The crowd cheers.)
David: C.M. Punk is here!?
Katie: In our main event, Nykk, you will be facing them both!
Nykk: A handicap match? Are you freakin' serious?
Katie: No, Nykk, I wouldn't be that unfair. You'll have a tag team partner... and trust me, I wouldn't pair you up with anyone you didn't know like the back of your hand. You should make a tremendous team! Because tonight, Nykk, your partner... is Ronin Fox!
(The crowd cheers again, and Nykk goes ballistic.)
Dick: No way! No damn way are Nykk and Fox even going to make it to the ring together before they tear each other apart!
David: Nykk and Fox vs. Steel and Punk right here tonight!?
Katie: I apologize to you fans for this going longer than it has to... but rest assured, from here on in it's GO TIME!
(Katie leaves the ring as Nykk wanders around, dejected.)
David: It was looking dismal, but now the sunshine is peeking through the clouds, and that sunshine's name is Katie Piehl. We'll be right back with MECCA's very first match!
(Commercial Break)
("Hit That" by the Offspring hits and Joey Sprinklers skateboards his way to the ring.)
David: We're back, and here's a familiar face for the fans of RCW.
Dick: Yeah, and apparently he's chosen to spend his day off right here in MECCA.
("Hybrid Stigmata" by Dimmu Borgir hits and Delirious makes his way to the ring, walking on his knees and tweaking out.)
David: He's tweakin' out!
Dick: What the hell is this? What is it about the wrestling industry that just drives people insane?
David: The first-ever match in MECCA's history will be an RCW vs. ROH match: Delirious will be taking on Joey Sprinklers!
(Delirious hits the ring and goes nuts, and Joey bolts.)
David: Joey doesn't know quite what to make of Delirious.
Dick: Joey's had to take on his fair share of freakish characters. I just expected him to be treated a bit better, considering this promotion is run by his running buddy.
David: As we just saw before the break, Nykk's booking power is now null and void.
(FINISH: Delirious goes for an enzugiri, but Joey ducks and locks in an STF. Delirious crawls toward the ropes and bites down on them, and the ref forces Joey to break the hold. Joey protests that Delirious was biting the ropes and it shouldn't count. He charges Delirious, but gets kicked in the midsection. Delirious whips him into the corner and charges, but Joey gets his feet up. He goes for Da Sprinklanator, but Delirious escapes and hits Joey with the Chemical Imbalance #2. He covers and gets the pin.)
Winner: Delirious
David: Delirious picks up the victory on MECCA's debut! We'll be right back with the crowning of our first Ladies' Champion!
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "My Friend of Misery" by Metallica is playing and Friend Misery makes her way to the ring.)
David: We're back, and not wasting any time with the crowning of our Ladies' Champion! This will be a Turmoil Match, and each of the ladies competing drew a number before the match. The first two will start, and then the next number comes out to face the winner and so on, until the Ladies' Champion is crowned.
("Faint" by Linkin Park hits and Shadow makes her way to the ring.)
David: Here comes the current RCW Ladies' Champion, who is certainly the favorite to win this match.
Dick: Maybe, but the newcomer Friend Misery has been looking pretty good in training. Who knows if she can pull off an upset?
(FINISH: Misery goes for the Friendship Bracelet, but Shadow escapes and manages to apply a Dragon Sleeper. She falls back to lock it in, but Misery grabs the middle rope and pulls herself up as Shadow falls back and hits her head. Misery bounces off the ropes, but Shadow blocks a clothesline with her arms and spins, hitting the Interceptor. She covers and gets the three count.)
Winner: Shadow
("Edge of Seventeen" by Stevie Nicks hits and Lisa Letty makes her way to the ring.)
David: Lisa Letty, another talented lady wrestler who has competed in RCW. Shadow finished off Friend Misery in fairly short order, so let's see what she does against Lisa.
(FINISH: Shadow whips Lisa into the corner and charges. Lisa gets her feet up and catches Shadow with a headscissors, giving her a hurricanrana into the turnbuckles. Shadow staggers out and Lisa leaps to the top rope, catching Shadow with the Letty Press and trapping the arms for a three count.)
Winner: Lisa Letty
("Fell in Love with a Girl" by the White Stripes hits and LuFisto makes her way to the ring.)
David: The final competitor is LuFisto, who is no stranger to Lisa Letty.
Dick: These two were in a tag team this past summer, but as far as I know, they never hooked it up before as opponents.
(FINISH: Lisa goes for the Letty Press, but LuFisto ducks out of the way. She goes for the LuFisto Launcher, but Lisa slips off her shoulders and counters with a backslide, getting a three count out of nowhere.)
Winner: Lisa Letty
David: We have our first Ladies' Champion, and her name is Lisa Letty! The underdog pulled off two major upsets, first against Shadow and then against LuFisto!
(The ref hands Lisa the MECCA Ladies' Championship, and Lisa holds it up triumphantly. However, LuFisto suddenly attacks from behind, sending Lisa down with a forearm. LuFisto looks at Lisa as if she herself can't believe she just did that and quickly leaves the ring.)
David: What the hell was that all about?
Dick: I don't know, but LuFisto is definitely frustrated. She had the high draw going in, and I don't think she expected Lisa to have the ability to beat her.
David: When we come back, Katie Piehl has an announcement to make!
(Commercial Break)
(Backstage, Bill Bicknell is standing with Katie Piehl.)
Bill: I'm here with one of MECCA's owners, Katie Piehl. Katie, I understand that you have a special announcement that concerns the tag team division.
Katie: Yes, Bill. Not only will the MECCA Challenge on April 30 crown the first MECCA Champion, but will also crown the first MECCA Tag Team Champions. I've brought in a team that will no doubt be a cornerstone of the tag division, a team that has dominated in their two short years in this business. They will be here next week; Jay Crowe and Dusty Schneble, the Pyro Twins.
(In the arena, "Pajamarama" hits and Huh and Cheesecake make their way to the ring.)
Dick: Oh, no!
David: Yes, the Eccentrics are right here at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds. As the fans of RCW know, Cheesecake has been on the shelf for a while, but he's ready to come back to action. And he will attempt to gain his bearings right here in MECCA.
Dick: Has his bicep even healed all the way yet?
(Huh gets a mic and starts talking into the wrong end. Cheesecake snatches it from him.)
Cheesecake: Did I hear th'omebody th'ay they wanted th'ome Cheesecake? Hello to all my friend'th here in MECCA and Dayton, Ohio! We sure do have th'ome great workers here tonight, don't we, Huh?
Huh: Huh?
Cheesecake: C.M. Punk will be here later... (Huh points to the front row and tries to get Cheesecake's attention) the Pyro Twin'th will be here next week... we've th'een Delirious in action... and our first Ladies' Champion... what i'th it, Huh?
(The camera pans over to where Huh is pointing and settles on Trent Acid, who is in the front row. He's biting his fingernails and has his feet up on the barricade.)
Cheesecake: Ladie'th and gentlemen, it'th Trent Acid!
(He applauds happily.)
Cheesecake: For those of you who don't know him, Trent Acid has made a name for him'th'elf all over the US as one half of the Backseat Boyz, with our good friend Johnny Kashmere!
Dick: Johnny Kashmere's not their good friend!
(The Eccentrics get out of the ring and walk over to Acid.)
Cheesecake: What brings you here tonight?
Acid: You know... just watching the show.
Cheesecake: Would you like to have a match against... one of us? It is after all MECCA's first show, and Chee'th'cake would love to make an impact, whether here in the ring or th'omewhere in the back.
Acid: Uh... you are talking about a match, right?
Cheesecake: Yeah. What do you say?
Acid: Sure, I guess.
(He gets up and they roll into the ring.)
David: Trent Acid, Johnny Kashmere's good friend and tag team partner, has made it onto the show... and he wasn't even booked!
Dick: Strange things happen when the Eccentrics are out here, David. Get used to it.
(FINISH: Cheesecake goes for the Long Kiss Goodnight, But Acid rams him into the corner and hits him with an enzugiri as he staggers out. Acid then picks up Cheesecake and hits the Acid Bomb for the three count.)
Winner: Trent Acid
David: Acid didn't even come dressed to wrestle, but he managed to defeat Cheesecake, and that's pretty impressive.
(Acid exits the ring and jumps over the barricade, leaving the arena.)
Dick: It looks like Acid is heading for the concession stands.
(In the ring, Huh helps Cheesecake up when a voice blares over the PA.)
Voice: Hey! Eccentrics!
(The camera switches to the aisle, where a pudgy man in a black leather coat is walking toward the ring.)
David: Who the hell is that?
Dick: Oh my... that's referee David Caldwell!
David: No way! The last time the wrestling business saw him was last May, when the Eccentrics literally threw him through a table!
(The Eccentrics look shocked to see Caldwell.)
Caldwell: I bet you thought you'd never see my face again, did you? Well, I'm back here at the very place that where you two sent me to the hospital! I've been waiting months to get my revenge, and now the time has come! No, I won't be facing you myself. I had to go off the continent to find two guys willing to take you out. No, it wasn't South America this time. I went to Japan, and acquired the services of one of the most devious groups in the entire world. So without further adieu, I introduce... Dick Togo and Men's Teioh... Kaientai Deluxe!
(Kaientai DX runs down to the ring and circle it as Cheesecake and Huh prepare for a fight.)
David: Who else is going to appear tonight? Who would have ever thought we'd see KDX right here in Dayton?
(KDX enters the ring, and Togo goes after Huh while Cheesecake tangles with Teioh. Cheesecake whips Teioh into the ropes, but Teioh dropkicks his knee, and Cheesecake goes down. Huh gets the better of Togo with punches and backs him into a corner. He whips him to the opposite side, but Togo reverses and sends him into a spinning DDT from Teioh. Togo lifts Cheesecake by the leg and hooks it behind his own head in a submission hold, hanging Cheesecake upside down. Teioh bounces off the ropes and dropkicks Cheesecake in the face. He then picks up Huh and gives him the Miracle Ecstasy. Togo goes to the top rope and comes off with a senton splash across Huh's chest. Kaientai leaves the ring and stands by David Caldwell.)
Caldwell: What you've seen here is only the beginning, Huh and Cheesecake! I'll show you what happens when you try to "foul" the referee!
David: The Eccentrics have been laid out by Dick Togo and Men's Teioh. We'll be right back with our main event!
(Backstage, Ronin Fox is stretching his hamstrings when Nykk walks up and stands behind him. Fox stands up and backs away suddenly when he senses Nykk's presence.)
Nykk: Whoa. I'm only here to discuss strategy.
Fox: There's nothing to discuss. I hate you, you hate me. I may have agreed to work here, but I assure you my acceptance was entirely on the basis of business.
Nykk: I understand that. But we need to make an impact tonight if we're to be taken seriously, me especially. The Second City Saints are about to hit the ring in our hometown, in the very building we tore down the last time we faced each other back in May. We can't let them beat us. Listen to my plan... I take Steel, and you take Punk...
Fox: Wait just a minute...
Nykk: This is my promotion, just follow my lead...
Fox: Like hell I will! You can't just single out...
Nykk: I'm just trying to make sure I don't look bad and you don't get your ass beaten too badly...
Fox: And another thing...
(Commercial Break)
(In the arena, "Miseria Cantare" by AFI is playing, and C.M. Punk and Ace Steel are on their way to the ring.)
David: We're back, and did you get a load of Fox and Nykk arguing in the back? How is this going to work?
Dick: It's not going to work. Ace Steel and C.M. Punk are going to eat them alive.
David: The Second City Saints, of course, of Ring of Honor fame. The third member of the Saints, is Colt Cabana, who the RCW fans know very well. Unfortunately, he couldn't make it here tonight.
Dick: Ace Steel was actually the one who trained both Colt Cabana and C.M. Punk, though Punk is their leader.
("Wherever I May Roam" by Metallica hits and Ronin Fox and Nykk make their way to the ring, still arguing.)
David: Look at this, they can't even stop arguing with each other.
Dick: They can't do this, they need to stay focused on the match and... ah, screw it. Just have at each other and get it over with, guys!
(The bell rings, and Nykk and Fox argue about who's going to start. They have a rock/paper/scissors contest, which Fox wins. Nykk tells him not to screw it up, and turns to go back to their corner. As soon as he does, Steel dropkicks Fox into Nykk. Nykk turns around and pushes Fox, who shoves him right back. The ref separates them as Steel rolls up Fox and gets a two count. Steel takes Fox over with an armdrag and then a hiptoss. Steel moves in, but Fox hits a drop toehold and bounces off the ropes. Steel drops down and then drops to is back for a monkey flip, but Fox catches his legs and picks him up wheelbarrow style. He drops him to his feet for a back suplex, but Steel flips out and goes for a reverse suplex. Fox lands on his feet and waistlocks Steel. Steel runs to the ropes, and bounces off. Fox takes him back for a roll up, but Steel reverses it for a one count. Fox pushes him off directly into C.M. Punk, who falls to the floor. Steel staggers back toward Fox, and gets taken over with a reverse tiger suplex. Fox covers for a one count. Fox gives Steel a back suplex, and Nykk asks for the tag. Fox goes over and slaps Nykk hard across the chest, and the ref counts it as a tag. Nykk gets in the ring, holding his chest, and argues with Fox as he exits. Nykk turns around and walks into a jawbreaker from Steel. Steel tags Punk, who hits Nykk with some right hands. He whips Nykk into the ropes, but Nykk reverses. Punk slides under Nykk's legs and Nykk bounces off the ropes, only to receive a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker. Punk lifts Nykk in a front facelock, but Nykk throws Punk's hands off and kicks him in the midsection. He whips Punk into the corner and sends him down with a running back elbow as he staggers out. Nykk hits a snap suplex and covers for a one count. He lifts Punk in a fireman's carry and hits a rolling Samoan drop. He tags Fox, and tells him that they're going to do a double team move. They whip Punk into the ropes, and Fox puts his head down. Nykk fakes doing so, and then hangs back, watching as Punk catches Fox and hits Welcome to Chicago, Motherf*cker. Nykk laughs as he exits the ring and Punk covers Fox for a two count. Punk goes for a hammerlock DDT, but Fox counters with a northern lights suplex for a two count. Punk gets up first and stomps on Fox. He whips Fox into the ropes, but Fox hits a flying headscissors. Punk gets up and charges, but Fox moves and Punk goes front first into the corner. Fox hits him with a tiger buster and covers, but Steel makes the save. They whip Fox into the ropes, but he counters a double back body drop into a double neckbreaker. Punk gets up in a corner, and Fox whips Steel into him. He then whips Steel into the opposite corner, and Fox charges, hitting a shoulderblock to the midsection of Steel. He runs back to Punk's corner and clotheslines him. He then runs back to Steel and gives him a shoulderblock to the midsection. He runs back to Punk and clotheslines him. He signals for the Tail End, and charges Punk. Punk throws him off, and Steel hits him with a running forearm from behind. Fox goes down and Nykk doesn't lift a finger to help him. Steel gets out of the ring, but is tagged back in by Punk. He picks Fox up and hits a hangman's neckbreaker.)
David: Fox and Nykk were holding their own, despite trying to sabotage each other, but now it looks as if the Second City Saints are in control. We'll be right back!
(Commercial Break)
(Back from commercial, Punk hits a delayed vertical suplex on Fox. Almost immediately, Steel comes off the top rope and hits a flying headbutt on Fox. Punk covers and gets a two count. He picks Fox up for a suplex, but Fox escapes and counters with a roll up for two. He charges Punk, but Punk locks in a sleeper. Fox fades away and starts to lose consciousness. The ref drops his hand twice, but on the third time, Fox fights his way to his feet. He counters into a back suplex, but Punk keeps the sleeper locked on. Fox starts to fade again, but manages to just barely get his foot over the bottom rope. Punk breaks the hold and stomps on Fox. He lifts him to the top rope and calls for the Pepsi Plunge. He goes up, but Fox fights back and takes Punk over with a superplex to the center of the ring. Fox crawls to his corner and finally tags Nykk, who seems to be eager to get in now that Punk is down. He enters the ring full of fire, but as he charges Punk, Fox trips him and Punk rolls Nykk up in an inside cradle for a close two count.)
Dick: Fox just intentionally tripped Nykk, and caused him to nearly get pinned by Punk! What the hell is he doing!?
(Nykk gets to his feet and sends Punk down with a hard clothesline. He curses out Fox, and Ace Steel comes in. He tries to hit Nykk from behind, but Nykk senses it coming and ducks. He lifts Steel and drops him across the top rope. He gives him Howling Moon II, and Steel rolls out of the ring. Nykk stands up, but gets clotheslined over the top rope by Punk, who turns around and gets nailed with a missile dropkick from the top rope by Fox. Punk rolls outside the ring by Steel and Fox gets ready for a tope. He bounces off the ropes, but Nykk trips him. Fox yells at Nykk as Steel and Punk creep back into the ring, nailing Fox from behind. Nykk sneaks back in as they're beating on Fox. Steel notices him, but walks into a backbreaker. Nykk grabs Punk's leg and pulls him off of Fox, applying the Bellbrookville Cedarleaf. Steel breaks it up by hitting Nykk with the Steel Spike, as Fox rolls to the floor. The ref makes Steel leave, and Punk rolls over and covers Nykk, getting a two count. On the outside, Steel and Fox are fighting. Fox goes for a bulldog, but Steel lifts him and throws him off. Fox balances on the ring apron and then gives the Fox Fire to Steel on the floor. Inside the ring, Punk goes for a tiger bomb, but Nykk wriggles free and pulls Punk in, kneeing him in the midsection. Nykk goes for a powerbomb, but Punk somersaults over him and gets a sunset flip. Fox reaches in from the outside and grabs Nykk's hands so he can't get his shoulders up, and Punk gets the three count.)
Winners: C.M. Punk and Ace Steel
Dick: What the hell was that!? Fox just cost Nykk the pinfall!
David: I don't think this has been about getting the victory for Nykk and Fox since before they even came out here. This was about which one could embarrass the other, and it looks like Fox has gotten the last laugh tonight. C.M. Punk and Ace Steel are victorious in our first MECCA main event!
(Punk and Steel celebrate, while Nykk approaches Fox on the outside. He's so flustered he can't even say anything, and is just holding his hands out as if to ask "What the hell was that all about?" Fox walks away, but Nykk shoves him from behind. Fox gets in Nykk's face, and they start tearing into each other verbally.)
David: Nykk and Fox are back to where they started, letting each other know exactly how they feel. It's been a chaotic night here at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds, and be sure to tune in next week for more of Go Time, brought to you by MECCA!
