EP. 1: INTRO & RULES

Hi! My name is Phil Parent, I'm from Montreal and my dream is to one day be the booker of the WWE. There is only one problem.

I'm poor, I'm unemployed, I have no experience in booking anything and I'm a complete unknown. Really. But I'm ready to work hard and sacrifice for this, I will go absolutely anywhere that will take me.

I give myself a year. If nobody will hire me, well, damnit, I'll sell my house and start my own promotion. But that's a year from now, let's see if I can find work... time to go on the internet and find those job openings!

RULES

- The story says it: my user character has minimal money, no experience, no reputation. He has a B- in psychology so that I can use him as a road agent, and 50 in Respect. Otherwise he has no discernable on-screen talent.

- I will try to get and accept any job that is offered to me, if any.

- I'll do my best. If I have opportunities to jump ship to more prestigious promotions, I will take them. Owner goals are turned on, so I'm held to those also.

- If I go a year without work, I will start my own promotion, in Quebec. This is where the Rougeau add-on becomes important because not only does it add his workers, which he'll hold on to anyways, it also includes a dozen local free agents which I might need.

- The goal is to be hired to book WWE and then widen the gap between them and the rest of the world.

- I frankly don't know if I'll be able to get anywhere with this, it's as much experiment as it is anything.

EP. 2: JOB OPENINGS OUT THE ASS!!!

(Mon, Wk 1 September 2016)

YEAH! I knew there would be opportunities for a young man ready to take anything! Look at this: RevPro in England, Fierce Females in Scotland, LLE in Mexico and Svensk Wrestling in Sweden! Resumes sent!

(Sat, Wk 1 September 2016)

Four rejection letters. Story of my life. It could be worse. Rocky Santana announced his impending retirement and intention to take a backstage job today. Rocky Santana then promptly KICKED THE BUCKET AND DIED THE SAME DAY. Oy vey. On the other hand, one less rival for a booking job.

(Sun, Wk 3 September 2016)
Job opening! NGW in England! UK! UK! UK!!!

(Mon, Wk 1 October 2016)
Yeah, I guess Mark Sloan had the inside track on this one, seeing as how he founded the FWA and all....

(Thu, Wk 1 October 2016)
JIM CORNETTE IS DEAD!! ANOTHER rival bites the dust!

(Thu, Wk 3 October 2016)
Keiji Mutoh has an Upper Lumbar Spinal Cord Rupture. He'll be out a year. A normal man would have been in a wheelchair for the rest of his life. WRESTLE-1 is SO gonna die.

sportsfanmas · September 10, 2016

I like it. As for the rejection letters, did I miss something in the game where you actually get rejected? Or did you just choose not to sign with any of those promotions and for story purposes consider it rejection letters?

One of them hired Rikishi and another hired Paige's dad, actually. I WILL take any job that's offered to me and do my best. Would have loved the Swedish fed, because I'm pretty sure I don't know any of them <img alt=":D" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/biggrin.png.929299b4c121f473b0026f3d6e74d189.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

PP: "Yes"

ME: "This is Madison from PCW. How are you doing?"

PP: "I'm great, thanks!"

ME: "Okay, so I've looked over at your application and I would love to offer you the job of head booker of PCW"

PP: "You are?"

ME: "Yes! Out of all the applicants we got, you were the best!"

PP: "I was?!"

ME: "Yes! Are you up for the challenge?"

PP: "Of course I am! I take it!"

ME: "Great! Also I have to tell you, you'll have to move to New Zealand soon."

PP: "Of course!"

ME: "We'll pay your moving expenses out of our budget, don't worry."

PP: "If I may, what is our budget?"

ME: "Oh, we have three quarters of a million dollar invested in this. Huh huh."

PP: (

ME: "GREAT! Just one last thing."

Congratulations! I figured you would be waiting all year with no luck, but a newly started promotion (with money!) is perfect. I kind of want to book them myself...

LigerLiger · September 10, 2016

Postpone tbis show NOW!Also,I wonder who the heck you are hiring considering your location.

Phil Parent · September 11, 2016

(Sun, Wk 1 April 2017)

- Our company is now known as PCW, Platinum Championship Wrestling. I was drunk partying after I learned the news I was joining the PWF and ended up drawing a really sweet PCW logo. We'll live.

- Tuesday's show is cancelled. Madison was excited and booked that WAY too quickly. We'll build our roster and then book a show.

- Speaking of which, gotta go scout now... We have Madison, whom is an excellent female wrestler, but she's out for 10 weeks with ligamental damage to her knee. So we'll have a couple girls for sure if we can find any willing to come to the island.

---------------------------------------------------------

(Tue, Wk 2 April 2017)

- Platinum Championship Wrestling is proud to announce that joining Madison Rayne on our roster today are 4 great talents:

= American independents legend DELIRIOUS has joined PCW. The 15-year veteran will bring his experience, in the ring and back, to our organisation. We feel privileged that he has accepted our offer.

= SHIIMA XION, another American, is also joining us. The 30-year old, 12 years veteran is gonna bring us a lot of energy.

= Australian star ROBBIE EAGLES is also coming in. The 27-year old young veteran is gonna be a very sound, steady performer for us.

= Finally, New Zealander MEGAN KATE has signed with PCW. We are very happy to have a local girl on our team.

More signings to come!

---------------------------------------------------------

(Wed, Wk 2 April 2017)

- Platinum Championship Wrestling added 6 to it's roster today.

= Former WWE Tag Team and Cruiserweight champion PAUL LONDON is bringing his world-caliber skills to New Zealand! London has wrestled all around the world and is looking at being a champion on yet another continent.

= Four-time TNA Knockout champion JESSICA "ODB" KRESA is bringing her experience and toughness to PCW! The 18-years veteran specifically aims at taking on Madison Eagles upon the debut of PCW.

= Also, international star and former British Heavyweight champion JONNY STORM has accepted to join us. He is bringing with him solid basics and the style only a man who has wrestled in England for 20 years can bring.

= Bosnian beauty ALEX LEE, a former WWE developmental talent and Lance Storm trainee, will round out our women's division. Lee, 31, is a veteran of the Japanese women's wrestling scene and is based in Tokyo.

= Lastly, two veterans of the Australian scene will bring depth to our roster. 27 years old NICK ARMSTRONG and 29 years old CHRIS BASSO are both former Riot City Wrestling champions looking to make a name for themselves in New Zealand. We hope our Australian fans will come to watch their two greats wrestle on the island.

Still more to come! Stay tuned!

--------------------------------------------

(Thu, Wk 2 April 2017)

- PCW is happy to announce that MICK MORETTI is joining its roster! The 28-years old Australian has enjoyed some popularity in New Zealand, and we are happy to provide him with this opportunity.

------------------------------------------------------------------

(Fri, Wk 2 April 2017)

- The signings continue for PCW as we enter the home stretch of the roster building effort leading up to our debut event.

= The Bullet Club has representation in PCW! "BAD LUCK" FALE SIMITAITOKO, the big heavyweight from Tonga who is a graduate of the New Japan Dojo and resides in New Zealand in his times off, is coming to PCW with bad attitude and bad intention. Is the Bullet Club expanding to New Zealand?

= Top Australian prospect DEAN "THE MACHINE" BRADY is bringing his charisma and abilities to PCW as well. The 21 years old is hoping to make a name for himself.

------------------------------------------------------------------

(Sat, Wk 2 April 2017)

- Wrapping up signings!

= The pugnacious 20 year old DEMI BENNETT is joining four other great competitors in PCW's women's division!

= Californian TODD KENELEY will be the voice of Platinum Championship Wrestling! Keneley is a 20 year veteran of the fight game, having previously worked for UPW and New Japan Pro Wrestling.

= He will be joined in the booth by Aussie SCARLETT HARRIS. A rare female commentator, she will bring her flavor to PCW events.

= Finally, when the bell rings, the law in the ring will be HARRY LIDDELL! A newly registered referee in his native Australia, 20-year old Liddell will bring an energetic enforcement of the rules to PCW.

= There will be a press conference on Monday, Wk 1 May, 2017, announcing details for the debut of PCW.

Phil Parent · September 11, 2016

(Mon, Wk 1 May, 2017 )

REPORTER: “Hello. Tell us about the roster you have assembled for us.”

PP: “Well, one of our priorities was giving opportunities to Australasian wrestling fans to see Australasian talent and we've accomplished that. Counting our non-wrestling talent, 12 of our 20 employees are from Australia, New Zealand or Tonga. We'll try to keep that ratio and hope the local scene grows alongside us. But in general, I'm very happy with the roster quality we have for our inception... We'll have world-level talent here. When you talk about Paul London, and you talk about Madison Eagles, and Delirious, and Shiima Xion, and Sonjay Dutt, you're talking about big league talent.”

REPORTER: “Some fans are dissapointed that a certain former world champion who has visited Australia often is not involved with your promotion. Tell us about Jeff Jarrett.”

PP: “We talked with Jeff Jarrett. Jarrett is a great talent who would have anchored our roster just fine... but he's 49 years old. We were looking for veterans who would give us at least 4-5 years of prime years competition and at this point, we think that Jeff cannot give us that. Also, his financial demands, while ABSOLUTELY legitimate, made it difficult for us to consider bringing him in. He would have made as much as as many as FIVE of our current crew together. “

REPORTER: “How about New Zealand legends The Bushwackers?”

PP: “We talked to Luke Williams, he wasn't interested in the backstage position we offered him. Lots of respect for him.”

REPORTER: “Can you confirm rumors about Australian top star Ryan Eagles?”

PP: “Yes, I'm allowed to do that. Ryan Eagles is the divorced husband of Madison Eagles. I talked to both Ryan & Madison. I think Ryan Eagles would have been a very important asset to PCW. But you have to respect the very human factor that nobody wants to work with their ex, so Ryan Eagles want to work FOR his ex even less. It's okay.”

REPORTER: “You are Canadian. We are surprised there are no Canadians on the roster... Canada is quite the hotbed for wrestling, especially the Montreal area.”

PP: “Well, Alex Lee trained in Calgary if that counts. But, if we talk about my hometown of Montreal... there are great talent available. I think that somebody like Handsome JF, for instance, could have used this opportunity. If we ever have a tag team division, we could do a lot worse than bringing in WonderFred and Stevie Fabulous, annoying people are universal and La Dynastie might as well be multiversal when it comes to that. We want a competitive women's division and certainly LuFisto would have great matches with ODB and Madison, amongst others. But you're looking at a 20,000 miles round trip between Montreal and Auckland, most wrestlers do not want to do that much travelling for a gig. Unless they move here and at this point, we're not in a position to tell anyone to uproot their lives and more here.”

REPORTER: “What are the titles that will be contested in PCW and what is the governing body that regulates those titles?”

PP: “We will have the Australasian and Australasian Women's titles. We have plan for Australasian Tag Team titles. PCW self-governs.”

REPORTER: “So... debut event?”

PP: “Yes! This is it... Here we go. PCW Prelude, to be held at the Lynfield Recreation Centre in Auckland, New Zealand on Friday of the first week of June of this year. We hope to have most of our roster there for what will be an introduction of our roster to our fan base. In closing, I'd like to say that it is great to be apart of history here, the return of pro wresting to New Zealand and Australasia and I hope the fans will be there, Friday of the first week of June of this year at Lynfield's in Auckland, and that together we grow to be something special. I think we have the tools to do it, and I hope to see everybody there! Thank you for your support.”

REPORTER: “Thank you, Phil.”

I tried to sell him Platinum and he was trying to sell me gold. I sent him back to his pyramid scheme and I called Delirious instead. I didn't get a damn word of what he was saying, but when I said it was in NZ he said "kiwikiwikiwikiwikiwikiyayayayayayayaya!!!" so I took that as meaning "Yes" and he did show up at the show. So, win-win for all involved, really.

(Fans cheer as Madison Eagles makes her entrance, walking on crutches due to her injury)

ME: "Thank you for your warm welcome, I'm happy so many came, this place is SOLD-OUT! THANK YOU!! I wish I could wrestle tonight. But as the owner of PCW this is my dream coming true. The last couple months have been so difficult for me, but I feel that things are starting to turn around, TONIGHT!

I know you scared, you know I was coming here to pluck the feathers out of your ***, Eagles! And now look at you on crutches, kissing their ***es because they paid their ticket to come watch? Well, GOOD NEWS EVERYONE, I'M PLUCKING THE FEATHERS OUT OF HER *** ANYWAYS!"

(ODB rushes the ring and attacks Madison Eagles! She's trying to remove Eagles' knee brace! Out of nowhere, Demi Bennett runs in the ring and jumps on ODB's back.

Well, Demi Bennett, you ruined my day, this was my day! This was me taking out the feathers out of Chief Mad Eagles *** and taking her out forever so that all I'd ever have to fight here would be the likes of you, and what is the name of that sweet little thing I'm fightin' tonight?"

TK: "Your opponent tonight is Megan Kate.."

(Backstage, Todd Keneley is with Zema Ion)

TK: "Zema Ion, you are fighting a great veteran here tonight in Jonny Storm, what are your thoughts coming into the match, your first here in New Zealand."

ZI: "I have no thoughts coming into the match. This will be easy. Do you know how old Jonny Storm is?"

TK: "I do believe he is 40 years old... but this is unbelievably rude..."

ZI: "No it isn't, it's the truth! How can Jonny Storm expect to get in the ring and compete with Zema Ion?! I'm the best there is in the ring, I'm a supermodel, the first Filipino supermodel, I'm the future of wrestling, and I'm sick and tired of the past getting in my way! And it starts tonight. Jonny Storm, evolution passes you by tonight and I'm burying you alongside the other fossils where you belong! *"Z" hand gesture*"

TK: "Stay tuned, ladies and gentlemen, for the post-fight press conference with matchmaker Phil Parent! Until next time, I'm Todd Keneley saying, SEE YA!"

Phil Parent · September 11, 2016

POST-FIGHT PRESS CONFERENCE.

PP: "Well, hello. PCW Prelude took place tonight in front of a sold-out audience of 500 people. We had a 6000$ gate. Performer of the night bonuses go out to Zema Ion and Jessica Kresa who both take home an extra 100$ tonight. Alex Lee and "Bad Luck" Fale Simitaitoko were unavailable due to prior commitments, we hope to see them next show. I'll be taking your questions now."

PRESS: "Before we get to the show proper, there was an incident with Demi Bennett before the show?"

PP: "Lots of grief over a rookie not having the best locker room etiquette. In my opinion, it's hard to blame somebody for breaking an unwritten rule about introducing yourself properly when they're not aware of it. She's a good girl, she'll learn."

PRESS: "Very well. Thoughts on the show in general?"

PP: "I think Zema Ion and Jessica Kresa came out as stars tonight. They were by far our two most exposed players and they came through big time, everything they were on was the best that we did tonight. I think Madison & Demi handed themselves great in their segment, Madison on one leg... Give it up to Jonny Storm too, he's 40 and he's coming in half way across the world to fight this high energy kid and he pulled it out. Our undercard lived up to our expectations... Nick & Robbie had a bit of a rough night, especially with their position on the card being what it was, but that's okay... And the main event was what it was."

PRESS: "Elaborate on that?"

PP: "Dutt almost took out London's eye. This is wrestling, it isn't ballet, but if there's something that I don't want is a wrestler being clumsy and almost taking somebody's eye out. I need my wrestlers to be here next show, because if he ain't then I have to replace them with somebody lesser. And that's doubly true if that wrestler getting injured is Paul London. Both are upset over it. We'll deal with it. That being said, I think Sonjay is a great athlete and a great person. But the main event suffered because of the injury. It was the difference between the show being the "E" that it was and the D-, D it could have been."

PRESS: "Fans were saying they expected the show to have more comedy and thought it was a bit dry..."

PP: "I heard that. I'll see what I can do. Working with the talent pool we have, both under contract and not, it might be difficult finding everybody you want. We'll see."

PRESS: "Fans wanted more stories, too."

PP: "I heard that as well. Tonight was a prelude. You can't just put 20 people in a locker room and expect them to have rivalries right away. ODB came in with a plan, Demi, probably fueled emotionally from her issue in the room prior to the show, ruined it. Personally, I think it's foolish for Demi Bennett to fight Jessica Kresa, but they both want the match so... as matchmaker, I'll make enough matches between two people who don't dislike each other, I'll certainly make the match between people that do want to fight... and I'm sure Madison will want to deal with ODB when she returns too. Also, I'm sure somebody's gonna take offense to Zema Ion's comments about age..."

PRESS: "Speaking of which, what are the ETAs on Eagles & London?"

PP: "London is out with an hyphema, he'll be back in 3 weeks. Madison has issues with the ligaments in her knee, she's been out a while and she'll be back in around that same timeframe."

PRESS: "Are you coming back to Lynfield Recreation Center?"

PP: "I don't know yet. A sold-out out the gate was very impressive. Maybe we should run a bit larger venue."

PRESS: "When is the next show?"

PP: "Next month. We'll be issuing a press release."

PRESS: "Any debuts then?"

PP: "Well, we hope to have Fale and Lee on the show. Other than that, I don't know. I have to say, there's no discussion with outside talent right now."

PRESS: "Thank you Phil."

PP: "You got it. Thank you everyone."

MrWolf101 · September 11, 2016

I usually can't get into real world independent promotion dynasties because I am not familiar enough with the wrestlers involved, but this set up has been really good and organic.

Plus, ODB is an entertaining trainwreck so far. <img alt="" data-src="//content.invisioncic.com/g322608/emoticons/smile.png.142cfa0a1cd2925c0463c1d00f499df2.png" src="<___base_url___>/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" />

PCW NEWS: Comedy wrestler signs, star returns from injury, next event

Lower Hutt Town Hall (Wellington, NZ)

Attendance: 533 (No Sell-out)

Quick Results:

1: Adam Brooks defeated Nick Armstrong in 7:32 (E)

A: Alex Lee was interviewed wearing a Bullet Club shirt. She then introduced Bullet Club member "Bad Luck" Fale as her bodyguard, saying she had joined the faction and declaring nothing would get in the way of her beauty and talent.

2: "Bad Luck" Fale defeated Chris Basso in 8:01 (E+)

3: Alex Lee defeated Megan Kate in 7:23 (D-)

B: In a funny segment, Delirious and Shark Boy ran into each other and "argued". Shark Boy snapped at Delirious' gibberish and challenged him to a match later (E)

4: Jonny Storm defeated Sonjay Dutt in 10:23 (E+)

5: Paul London defeated Robbie Eagles in 8:45 (E)

6: Delirious defeated Shark Boy in 6:03 (E+)

7: Zema Ion defeated Mick Moretti in 9:16 (D-)

8: ODB defeated Demi Bennett by referee stoppage. (E) After the stoppage, ODB kept on beating up Bennett (F+) until Madison Eagles came out to make the save (E)

POST-FIGHT PRESS CONFERENCE

PP: "Good evening. Tonight's PCW event drew 533 paying customers, this was not a sell-out, for a gate of 6396$ Performers of the night bonuses went out to Zema Ion and Alex Lee. They take home an extra 100$ a piece. We had a full lineup tonight. Any questions?"

PRESS: "Any comments about Paul London being caught with marijuana in the locker room?"

PP: "He was warned not to do it again. He can do what he wants at home, but not on his work place."

PRESS: "Isn't the attendance a bit dissapointing?"

PP: "Yes and no. We took a chance. We came to Wellington in a larger venue which we didn't sell out. Next time, were going back to Auckland in the smaller venue which we DID sell-out. It's okay."

PRESS: "Thoughts on the card?"

PP: ".... When I met you the first time, I told you that one of my goals here was to help the local scene along and that can only be done with exposure. I think what we saw tonight was the gap between our scene here and the world. The goal is to close the gap. People will be critical: Demi Bennett shouldn't have been put in the ring against ODB, she's 20 years old, ODB has 18 years of experience. And I hear that. However, there was an issue there that Demi initiated and they wanted to fight. I gave them a fight. It lasted 3 minutes and then the referee stopped it. What happened afterwards was reprehensible: Jessica knows better than beating up the kid after she already injured her. The crowd hated it. And I understand that. They were happy that Madison went out to stop it. Tonight, Demi Bennett got valuable experience. She will heal, she will return, better equiped for the future. ODB proved her point.

Other than that, props to Zema again, great performance in the main event. Moretti, I think, is the best of our local male talent. Our comedy match did okay. REALLY surprised by Fale & Alex Lee showing up together and Alex Lee joining the Bullet Club. Not sure how I feel about that, I didn't think Bullet Club would have any interest in us, but apparently, they do.

Everyone else lived up to expectations.

PRESS: "So what is next?"

PP: "Lynfield Rec Centre in a month. We'll be announcing the field for our Australasian championship tournament then. That'll be all. Thanks."

- Mick Moretti and Megan Kate are now an item, according to sources.

WWZone · September 12, 2016

YAY!! Fellow Aussie here, glad to see a ton of good Australian wrestlers on the show. Robbie Eagles, Ryan Eagles, Madison Eagles and Mick Moretti are top blokes in the Australian Wrestling scene.

Also I think the modder had made a bit of a mistake, Robbie is only 23 and Ryan & Madison Eagles are only divorced in storyline wise. They are still actually together. I know this because I am good friends with the people of PWA Australia.

- Backstage, Zema Ion approaches Alex Lee and tells her he thought her earlier video was pretty hot. He says that the only man fitting to be with her is him, a supermodel.

-----------------------------------------------

POST-FIGHT PRESS CONFERENCE

PP: "Good evening everybody, here are the factoids for the night: 500 people in attendance, this was a sell out, 6000$ gate. Performance of the night bonuses go, once again, to Zema Ion and Alex Lee, who this time take home 200$ each because they have POTN and they worked the main event. We had a full lineup tonight and we'll be back at Lynfield's next month for the 1st round of the tournament."

PRESS: "I sense you are quite happy with tonight's performance."

PP: "I'm very happy tonight. Everybody worked hard. Everybody worked well. We had a good main event even though everybody ended up fighting one another, it was great, sets the table great for our championship tournament."

PRESS: "Speaking of which, can we know the brackets for the tournament?"

PP: "Yes. So from top to bottom, first round match-ups... Paul London VS Jonny Storm... Zema Ion VS Mick Moretti... Bad Luck Fale VS Adam Brooks... and Sonjay Dutt VS Delirious. Tournament start same day next month."

PRESS: "What did you think about Alex Lee's actions tonight?"

PP: "Every redhead that loved wearing bright red lipstick that I've ever met were completely batshit insane, so... *Laughter In The Conference Room* Let's look at the evidence: Walking through Tokyo wearing this subjective white pantsuit and high heels while being a redhead wearing bright red lipstick with this big Tongan walking behind you and then saying... what did she say? Destruction has never been so beautiful? And the main event goes to shit, basically because Zema Ion can't take his eyes off of her and said big Tongan has a match to win? I'm worried for Zema. *Laughter* I mean, she broke him. But he better recover, he's got a title to win."

PRESS: "Worried about a Bullet Club invasion?"

PP: "Nah... they're busy in New Japan and ROH and WWE and wherever else they are. They're looking for attention so they get it where the TV cameras are. I'm more worried for those places now that Alex has Bad Luck Fale's ear. That woman, now that's a girl that wants to see the world burn."

PRESS: "Thank you Phil"

PP: "Thank you, see you next month."

BREAKING NEWS: Paul London joins Dragon Gate, to leave PCW.

- Top PCW star Paul London has announced on Twitter that he had signed an exclusive deal to go on tour with japanese promotion Dragon Gate.

"I think it's a shame.", said PCW matchmaker Phil Parent when reached on the phone. "Paul London was unemployed when he signed with PCW. He talked to me about how he had burned so many bridges because of his substance abuse issues that he didn't know where to go and that he really needed this job. I'm a big believer in Paul London's talent, so I took a chance on him. First week, he gets injured and makes a scene. It was an accident, and he still holds a grudge to this day. Second week, we bust him for pot. We warn him but in no way suspend him or fine him. A couple weeks later, he bolts... I've got two things to say about this, number 1, marijuana possesion is a felony in Japan and they don't mess around with it, he can ask Arashi. Number 2, I feel PCW will save itself a lot of headaches by just letting him go."

As to where things are going for the next show in three weeks...

"Paul London was arguably the number 1 seed in the Australasian championship tournament, he is scheduled to fight a first round match on our next show. We expect him to show up and fight. Should he win, he will not be fighting in the second round and we would use an alternate to replace him"

Will Paul London be replaced on the roster?

"Absolutely. We'll have talks with candidates in the upcoming weeks."

All eyes now turn to Auckland, as we wonder, will Paul London show up to fight Jonny Storm?

Platinum Championship Wrestling #3

Thursday Wk 1, September 2017

Lynfield Recreation Centre (Auckland, New Zealand)

Audience: 494

TK: "Hello everyone and welcome to Platinum Championship Wrestling! A lot of people from all over the world have their eyes on Auckland tonight as the first round of the Australasian championship tournament takes place. But I cannot ignore the other reason why people are waiting for news about this show: Paul London, will he or will he not show up? We can tell you ladies and gentlemen, that Paul London is indeed here at Lynfield's, he's arrived earlier today to fulfill his commitments, but Platinum Championship Wrestling has yet to confirm that Paul London will be fighting Jonny Storm tonight. Is he getting a bye? Why would he? Is he getting another opponent? Is this now somehow a 7-men tournament? Lots of questions, very few answers as we head to the ring for non-tournament action... in the women's division.

The courageous Demi Bennett, back from her injuries sustained in the assault by ODB, will be fighting the provocative and disturbing Alex Lee of Bullet Club next. Also latter on tonight, tournament qualifiers runner-ups Chris Basso and Dean Brady will go at it and also, the entertaining Shark Boy will take on Nick Armstrong tonight.

And of course, the tournament. As we've mentionned earlier, officially, Jonny Storm VS Paul London is still on. Bad Luck Fale and Adam Brooks as well. Zema Ion is scheduled to take on Mick Moretti and Delirious is set to face Sonjay Dutt but this is a quickly evolving situation and we do not know... yet... what we will be seeing here tonight in the upper bracket of this tournament. But let's go to the ring now!"

1: Alex Lee VS Demi Bennett

Alex Lee defeated Demi Bennett in 6:37 by pinfall.

(Match: E+, Lee: D, Bennett: E-)

2: Shark Boy VS Nick Armstrong

Nick Armstrong defeated Shark Boy in 9:28 by pinfall with a Huricanrana.

(Match: E+, Armstrong: D-, Shark: E-)

3: Chris Basso VS Dean Brady

5: Delirious VS Sonjay Dutt

Delirious defeated Sonjay Dutt in 12:14 by pinfall with a Double Underhook Piledriver. (Match: E+, Delirious: D-, Dutt: E)

6: ODB Promo

ODB is in the ring with a microphone. She claims that she is so tough that she cannot be defeated by anyone, and so she is making an open challenge for any wrestler on the roster to face her. She mentions how she beat up "Megan Tate", destroyed "that lil' bag o' bones" Demi Bennett and "scared the feathers off da bossgirl". Nobody answers the challenge and ODB says "Thought so! NONE OF YOU HAVE ANY BALLS!" (D-)

Zema Ion defeated Mick Moretti in 11:51 by pinfall with a Filipino Destroyer. (Match: D, Zema: D+, Moretti: D)

8a: Paul London VS Jonny Storm

*Paul London makes his entrance and enters the ring*

ME: "Stop the music... stop the music please!"

TK: "Madison Eagles...?"

ME: "Paul, the first thing I want to do is thank you for showing up here tonight and honoring your word."

*Crowd applauds*

ME: "However, I'm afraid there's been a change in your match. Earlier on today, I sat down with Jonny Storm and explained him the situation and Jonny readilly handed us back his spot in the tournament in exchange of being the obligatory number one contender once the champion is crowned. So no, tonight, you're not fighting Jonny Storm. Tonight, you are fighting THIS man, PCW's newest competitor...."

*Lights dim, music hits*

TK: "WHAT!?! BOBBY ROODE?!?! I SAW BOBBY ROODE ON MONDAY NIGHT RAW TWO WEEKS AGO! BOBBY ROODE IS A FORMER WORLD CHAMPION, A FORMER WORLD TAG TEAM CHAMPION... AND HE'S HERE IN NEW ZEALAND! WHAT IS HAPPENING?"

(E+)

8b: Paul London VS Bobby Roode

Bobby Roode defeated Paul London in 10:42 by pinfall with a Glorious Bomb. (Match: D, Roode: D+, London: D-)

TK: "And that is all ladies and gentlemen! What a turn of events here tonight. Bobby Roode is in PCW and he's now in the second round of the Australasian championship tournament! Stay tuned for the post-fight press conference. For Scarlett Harris, this is Todd Keneley, saying, SEE YA!!!"
