[scene opens to Jay Phillips on the J-Transfer set]
Jay: Hi everyone, I’m Jay Phillips and welcome to the J-Transfer! Your source to the latest in NRWL happenings! Well, we’re down to the wire to the next show and we got quite a card lined up for you. Everyone is anxiously awaiting to watch the main event, which is a 6-Man Ladder Match for the #1 contendership and shot at Bruno Kowalski’s championship belt at the next show. Contestants are red-hot Katsutoshi, former NRWL champion Ash, the head-turning Jacob Washington, two-time former NRWL champion Johnny Young, hall-of-famer and legend John Fraust, and the explosive Max Destruction. I know who I’m pulling for, but can’t wait to see the outcome!
We also know that the NRWL Tag Team championship is on the line in the co-main event as NRWL Champion tries to add more gold to his name by tagging up again with tournament partner Marty Anderson. Together, they take on The 4 Elements members Marcus and Tommy V.
We have recently learned that Paul Priest was awarded a match against the husky Crawford. Paul seemed less-than-pleased at the apparent “Crawford-blocking” being done which Paul claims, and I quote, “cost him a night of illicit passion.”
Some other matches that were inked at the last second include:
A the battle of the 2nd Generation stars, Mark Blood vs. Tornado. Both men whose fathers were legends in their time, and both whom, unfortunately, have kind of stumbled out of the gate. Also noteworthy is that both men can tend to be somewhat fiery. Let’s hope both competitors keep it clean.
And speaking of keeping it clean, “Hardcore” Adam is being given a shot for revenge after the dirty low-blow by Storm Harrison after their last match. Adam was quoted in saying “If you’re not going to keep it clean, then we’ll keep it hardcore!” revealing their match to be an Extreme Rules match. Storm Harrison was very angry and just shoved me out of the way by my face when I asked for a comment.
Also, we have Lord J calling out the monster, Caleb. Here’s a snippet from the interview…
[scene cuts to Lord J ranting]
“...and I came back for one thing - to show that I’m the best. I don’t want to make friends. I don’t want to have ‘good, technical matches.’ I want to smash people down to the canvas so hard they can’t breathe! I might not have the marketable look or gift of the gab as some of the other faces of the franchise around here, so to get attention, I find the biggest badass in the fed, and beat the holy hell out of him. And that badass is Caleb. Caleb! Your return is going to be short lived! Next week, when you wake up and wonder what the hell happened, you’ll be old news and whoever the NRWL champion is, he’ll be seriously rethinking his career choice!”
[cut back to Jay.]
Jay: Strong words from the man who loves to slam. I’ve also just been told that the Lord J/Caleb match is No DQ Fall Count Anywhere. Should be a good one!
And finally, the last signed match might actually steal the show. A Triple Threat match between J. T. Crusher, John Austin Baker, and the leader of Slamnation, Slam Jackson. This match can be quite the vaulting point for all of these men. Crusher might be able to extract some revenge on Slam for the “motorcycle incident.” Slam Jackson, with a strong showing, can easily put himself back into title contention and try to make another grab at the gold. And Baker finally gets away from his cousin to compete as a single wrestler, where winning could propel him up the ranks very quickly.
Things are shaping up nicely as the end of Season 5 draws near, which will culminate at the Hall of Fame event to close out the season. I’m very much looking forward to that. It’s a great time to be following the NRWL! Tune in to the show tonight!
