This is the second stop in BCCW’s promotional farewell tour. After the rousing success of “Respect the Shooters & Hookers”, fans clamored for one more big return. So to appease the fans, BCCW is making its way back around the circuit.
1) MSD takes to the ring to FINALLY make his big announcement….
”BCCW WILL BE RETURNING FOR A 2nd SHOW!!!!!!!!
Due to popular demand, and the HUGE success of their first PPV endeavor “Respect The Shooters & Hookers”, BCCW will be BACK with an all-new card!
It will be entitled “CITY of CHAMPIONS” and will take place back in the Broken City Slaughtahouse. Tickets will be going on sale tonight at midnight!!! Already confirmed for that night: Diamond Dynasty representatives WADE BARRETT and TED DIBIASE JR will be teaming to face the new super-duo of EVAN BOURNE & MIL MASCARAS!!! There will also be an 8-man “Money-In-The-Bank” ladder match featuring such brand names as NEW JACK and others! Plus much, much more! Crowd is ecstatic! Now…
2) Starting the show off properly tonight will be none other than…
THE FABULOUS FREEBIRDS!!!
Crowd goes bananas to see their boys, who were victorious at the BCCW PPV. They horse around in the ring and with the audience, having fun and loving life. Tons of Freebirds posters and T-shirts can be spotted in the audience. The Freebirds want to be part of the Money-In-The –Bank Match at “CITY of CHAMPIONS”. But just as they reach the height of their public interaction… they are rudely cut off by “n***a ask about me, n***a ask about me, n***a n****a n****a….” blaring through the surround sound.
Cue “I’m a Hustla” by Cassidy.
Enter THE BLK MOBB!!! (Sabian & Ruckus)
Crowd actually greets the Mobb with boos. They are not pleased to have the Freebirds interrupted by THESE two. But the BLK MOBB seems to revel in the negative crowd reaction. They get in the ring, throw up a few gang signs and flip off the crowd, before facing down the The Freebirds.
RUCKUS: Well I love the old school style of wrestling. I am a big Freebirds mark… it feels good because I was just a kid from Baltimore with a dream to become a pro wrestler. When we started backyard wrestling I never thought it would go as far as it did. So I think it is pretty awesome.
Crowd (and the Freebirds) are leery at this condescending form of “respect” by the BLK MOBB. And sure enoughthe other shoe quickly drops. Sabian and Ruckus accuse the Freebirds of “good ol’ boy politics” and all kinds of other politically-incorrect, racially charged allegations. Even references the little Michael Hayes/MarkHenry flap from a few years ago (when Hayes was suspended from WWE for some allegedly racial remarks). Audience has now COMPLETELY turned on the Mobb, booing them harder and louder than ever before. “Affirmative Action”, “AWM” (Angry White Males) and other sensitive, hot-button topics are addressed and attacked by the BLK Mobb. They are totally heeling on the Freebirds and the entire Southern crowd. You can hardly hear them towards the end; the crowds boos are so loud. The BLK Mobb then goes even lower below the belt by dissing the Rock-N-Roll Express (who they beat at Respect the Shooters & Hookers) and claim to have driven them out of BCCW.
SABIAN: I thought that the match served its purpose. It was a big achievement being in there with BCCW’s top and most popular team at the time. That was the start of something really big for BLK Mobb. We pretty much took over and did our thing! Michael Hayes finally grabs the mic for their long awaited retort… but Ruckus blows another cloud of marijuana smoke in his face before he can begin! The BLK Mobb laugh amongst themselves and throw fingers at the audience. So Michael Hayes calmly reaches back – grabs a fire extinguisher handed to him by Gordy – and unleashes it upon the Mobb with a thick, foamy blast! Shades of Roddy Piper blasting Morton Downey Jr at Wrestlemana V!!!
Crowd goes nuts as the two teams start brawling! BCCW security and off-duty ATL cops are QUICK on the scene trying to diffuse a potential race riot! The Southern crowd is absolutely enraged by the Mobb’s disrespectful, belligerent actions. Freebirds are cheered rabidly for standing up for themselves, and get a long-time standing ovation from the audience as the two teams are separated and order restored. The BLK Mobb has to have a police escort out of the building due to the insane level of crowd heat.

3) Please welcome to the ring,
”ADORABLE” ADRIAN ADONIS and SAMMI LANE!!!

BREAKING NEWS!!!!
The Champ JOHN CENA was involved in a single-car accident today! Details are still sketchy, but will be released when available!!!
4) Crowd has hushed due to that announcement. But quickly perks back to life when the legendary LOU THESZ makes his entrance!!!! He is seconded by the All-American American from Oklahoma, JACK SWAGGER!
Lou Thesz and Jack Swagger look solemn. Thesz takes the mic to address the betrayal he suffered at the hands of his mentor and coach Ed “The Strangler” Lewis at the Boston Duck Boat Parade.
LOU THESZ: I've had broken bones, sure, that's not a fun thing. Broken kneecap. Over the years, fingers, everything. More than 200 broken bones. That kind of slows you up. Sometimes you can wrestle with them, unless it's a major break, you know, you can't do that.
But nothing has ever hurt more than when the Strangler turned on him to join TGW and God knows who else. But best believe -justice will be served. Lou Thesz says people have been asking him how he was able to gut out a submission victory over Jack Swagger at “Respect the Shooters & Hookers”. Simple: he changed his training techniques to adopt more modern methods. Namely, the use of martial arts and MMA to give him yet another tactical advantage. Shortly after the victory,he was approached by Swagger about his training and offered to take the young buck under his wing. Now Swagger trains with Thesz and his people. Lou and Jack know what’s going on. The Gold Dust Trio Inc is gobbling up all the wrestlers’ contracts – and destroying those who refuse to march in line with them. Well guess what? Thesz and Swagger won’t fall in line behind them like a bunch of lemmings. They have their OWN camp, their OWN team, their OWN piece of the pro wrestling hemisphere. They are the Shooters Club. Please welcome their training partner (and man solely responsible for coaching Thesz to his submission victory at Respect the Shooters & Hookers)…
Introducing
MASAHIKO KIMURA!!!
MASAHIKO KIMURA: Humans are weak. When they get sick or get into a trouble, they depend on God. I was no exception. I meditated trying to reach the state of no ego. I first struggled to reach the state of no ego, but soon I lost the force for struggling and forgot about tomorrow's bout and the fact that I was sitting. Soon after reaching this state, the character of "win" appeared on my mind. But the character soon got superimposed on the character of "loss". However, my mind was already empty. I did not make any effort to get the character of "win". I don't know how much time has elapsed since I started to sit. Suddenly, my whole body became hot as if somebody poured boiling water over me from above the top of my head, and my body started to tremble. I then noticed that the character of "win" was shining at the center of my forehead as if it had been waiting for me to notice its appearance. "I will win tomorrow's bouts." I was convinced of my victory with pleasure. I believed that it was a message from God that can be given only to those who push to the maximum limit of mental and physical strength and get to the border between life and death. If I had pursued only pleasure, I would have seen the character of "loss". God sides with only those who challenge a difficult task despite the possibility of death. Even though I had no special belief in any religion, it was my interpretation of the existence of God.
Crowd is receptive to Kimura, and cheer for the Shooters Club camp accordingly. But Kimura throws a shocking curve-ball by calling out RIKIDOZAN!!! As far as everybody knows, Rikidozan is an international hero and Japanese Icon! Not so, says Kimura. Rikidozan is a fraud!!!! He’s not even Japanese, he’s Korean! He’s been a poseur his whole llife. He’s also a lying, cheating, traitorous bastard – just like Ed “The Strangler” Lewis. Masahiko Kimura explains further…
MASAHIKO KIMURA: In November 1951, I founded Kokusai Pro Wrestling Association. After I came back from US doing pro wrestling matches, I did pro wrestling shows throughout Japan. In those days,Rikidozan also started a new organization called Japan Pro Wrestling Association. So, mass media started to talk about Kimura vs Rikidozan match. I met with Rikidozan and asked his opinion. He said, "That is a good idea. We will be able to build a fortune. Let's do it!" The 1st bout was going to be a draw. The winner of the 2nd will be determined by the winner of a paper-scissors-stone. After the 2nd match, we will repeat this process. We came to an agreement on this condition. As for the content of the match, Rikidozan will let me throw him, and I will let him strike me with a chop. We then rehearsed karate chop and throws.However, once the bout started, Rikidozan became taken by greed for big money and fame. He lost his mind and became a mad man. When I saw him raise his hand, I opened my arms to invite the chop. He delivered the chop, not to my chest, but to my neck with full force. I fell to the mat. He then kicked me. Neck arteries are so vulnerable that it did not need to be Rikidozan to cause a knock down. A junior high school kid could inflict a knock down this way. I could not forgive his treachery. That night, I received a phone call informing me that several yakuza are on their way to Tokyo to kill Rikidozan….
This is actual video footage of this match. Watch closely at the end and you will clearly see Rikidozan go into business for himself and violently shoot on an unsuspecting Kimura. Some of those soccer-kicks to a downed opponent wouldn’t even be legal today. The ultimate betrayal.
Rikidozan ducked and dodged Kimura for years, and the two never fought again. Until now.
MASAHIKO KIMURA challenges Rikidozan to an MMA-styled Shoot Fight to settle this blood feud once and for all!!!!
For those who don’t realize it, Swagger tells the crowd Kimura is actually the Father of MMA. He even defeated the Patriarch of the Gracie family, Helio Gracie!!! (The Gracie’s are legendary in the field of MMA and jiu-jitsu, and the family even founded the original UFC).
MASAHIKO KIMURA: 20,000 people came to see the bout including President of Brazil. Helio was 180cm and 80 kg. When I entered the stadium, I found a coffin. I asked what it was. I was told, "This is for Kimura. Helio brought this in." It was so funny that I almost burst into laughter. As I approached the ring, raw eggs were thrown at me. The gong rang. Helio grabbed me in both lapels, and attacked me with O-soto-gari and Kouchi-gari. But they did not move me at all. Now it's my turn. I blew him away up in the air by O-uchi-gari, Harai-goshi, Uchimata, Ippon-seoi. At about 10 minute mark, I threw him by O-soto-gari. I intended to cause a concussion. But since the mat was so soft that it did not have much impact on him. While continuing to throw him, I was thinking of a finishing method. I threw him by O-soto-gari again. As soon as Helio fell, I pinned him by Kuzure-kami-shiho-gatame. I held still for 2 or 3 minutes, and thentried to smother him by belly. Helio shook his head trying to breathe. He could not take it any longer, and tried to push up my body extending his left arm. That moment, I grabbed his left wrist with my right hand, and twisted up his arm. I applied Udegarami. I thought he would surrender immediately. But Helio would not tap the mat. I had no choice but keep on twisting the arm. The stadium became quiet. The bone of his arm was coming close to the breaking point. Finally, the sound of bone breaking echoed throughout the stadium. Helio still did not surrender. His left arm was already powerless. Under this rule, I had no choice but twist the arm again. There was plenty of time left. I twisted the left arm again. Another bone was broken. Helio still did not tap. When I tried to twist the arm once more, a white towel was thrown in. I won by TKO. My hand was raised high. Japanese Brazilians rushed into the ring and to send me up in the air. On the other hand, Helio let his left arm hang and looked very sad withstanding the pain.
The Shooters Club – Thesz, Swagger & Kimura – will defend the honor and legacy of Pro Wrestling for as long as blood flows through their veins. They will not let the unscrupulous, corrupt, egomaniacal forces of GOLD DUST TRIO INC. ruin this business. They vow to fight the good battle and drive the monolithic monopoly back into the DarkAges. Kimura will expose Rikidozan further, and Thesz & Swagger challenge The Strangler (and a partner of his choosing)to a tag team match at “CITY of CHAMPIONS”!!! They shout out John Cena and hope for a speedy recovery for him (from his most recent still-unexplained car wreck). Crowd goes ballistic for the unified team of elite warriors. Best believe, this war has just begun…
Back to the IWC for fan fall-out…
quote:
BCCW had a rather news-worthy weekend... Friday night they had yet another near fan riot. I've got no details on the matter, but I guess the end result had The BLK MOBB going after a fan.
Unlike a lot of idiots who place blame on the promotion for "catering to that element," I think we have to instead grow up and realize that what BCCW presents in the ring has nothing to do with fans acting like dumb-asses.
Now, that said, the way BCCW polices the fans *must* change. They have been too lax in allowing stuff being thrown into the ring in the past, and have in general given fans free reign to behave however they want. This has led to fans thinking they are *part* of the show, instead of spectators of the show. I have no problem with BCCW presenting its product in the same way in the future, but they will have to actively pursue new means of policing the fans.
Tearing down BCCW for trying to do something compelling is childish, IMODO, but praising them for no better reason than because they did something nobody else had considered doing before is downright retarded. If it helps to paint a clearer picture, I think we can count on the fact that a very small percentage of fans at the arena actually cheered this act by The BLK MOBB; they are your sickos and retards. Another small portion were offended and left; these are your overly sensitive, easily-offended folks. But I'm sure the majority of the crowd just watched, some in stunned silence, some with rapt attention, because this is just pro wrestling, and telling a story is part of what they do.
