Mid-Pacific Promotions Newsletter #006


Hello fans and welcome back to Mid-Pacific Promotions – a proud member of the SPW Alliance.  Be sure to subscribe to the SPW Network to ensure you stay caught up on all the regional shows within the alliance…all that for an MPP customer’s special of $9.95 a month for a limited time only offer.  This special won’t last long so sign up now.

Owner Dave Millican makes an appearance on stage and touches on how he spent the last week meeting with owners from the different promotions and says that there will be announcements made later in the evening that will blow their socks off.  He then hypes the arrival of SPW World Champion Verne Gagne and says that the winner of the match between Edge and the Ultimate Warrior will determine who gets to meet Mr. Gagne for that coveted belt.  Dave then plays a short video that introduces Verne to the world of Mid-Pacific Promotions showcasing his matches.  Dave then introduces Verne LIVE to the crowd and they pop as Verne makes his way down to the ring.  He is handed a mic.  “Hello fans of Mid-Pacific Promotions.  I’m the SPW World Champion Verne Gagne and I wanted to say how excited I am to be coming here to Honolulu to defend this title.  As the World Champion, I will go wherever this belt takes me and I look forward to the awesome competition you have to offer.  Like back home in the AWA where there is top notch talent, I hear you fans are something special too and I am honored to defend this title here.  Thank you and I look forward to seeing who I will defend this title against.”  The fans cheer as Verne hands the mic back and waves as he leaves the ring.

The show kicks off the Berserker making his way out first.  The music changes and the Demon King Finn Balor makes his way out and he is very well received.  The Berserker stuns Balor with a legdrop and then picks up Balor by his hair yanking hard.  Finn then grabs his arm and locks in the High Angle Fujiwara armbar and the Berserker immediately taps out.  Finn gets the win in only 2 minutes. 

***NEWS FLASH*** flashes across the big screen and it is announced that High Chief Peter Maivia has accepted the Rock’s invitation and will join us at our special ‘Island Slugfest’.  The fans pop at the announcement that Maivia is ‘coming home’ even if for only one match.

It’s time for our next match and it is of the tag team variety.  Billy Pearl and Lenny Lane come out first.  The music hits and King Curtis & Prince Iaukea make their way out next.  They high five the fans as they make their way to the ring.  Trying to make a name for themselves, Pearl and Lane attack the Iaukea’s but surprisingly they held their own.  It didn’t take long though for Prince Iaukea to hit a back body drop on Pearl and then the King took him outside the ring and set him up at the announcers table and then sat on his lap much to the fan’s delight.  He wouldn’t let Pearl get up.  Finally he did but by then it was too late and Pearl got counted out.  King Curtis and Prince Iaukea get the win. They celebrate with the fans before leaving.  (8 min)

World Champion Dean Melanko makes his way into Reggie Parks’ office.  He says that it should be him representing the MPP as its champion and then issues a challenge to the winner (between Edge and Ultimate Warrior) and says if he wins, he gets the SPW title match.  If he loses, he will grant whomever a future title shot.  Reggie says that while he is happy that Dean wants to step up, he still has to defend that World title first.  All of a sudden, Don Muraco w/ Mr. Fuji walk in (he’s in a very foul mood) and demands a title shot tonight.  Dave Millican then joins in and says that Dean can accept the match but it will not be for the title.  However, if Muraco can defeat Malenko here tonight, he will get a shot at the World title next week.  Muraco and Dean have a stare down before the Magnificent one leaves.

Match #3 begins with Zema Ion making his way out first and then is followed out ‘Captain Charisma’ Christian.  Zema Ion and Christian put on a hell of a match with lots of high spots.  Zema had control of the match for its entirety but after failing to capitalize on a legdrop, Christian caught Zema with the Unprettier and scored the 3 count.  After the match, Zema was a little ticked off but he cooled off and the two men shook hands.  (19 min)

Andre the Giant is backstage with Mike Adamle and says he wants to be involved in the match against the SPW World Champion.  Mr. Fuji rushes over and throws a fireball into Andre’s face temporarily blinding him.  Yokozuna then rushes in for an attack but it is quickly squashed.  Andre recovers and says he wants Yokozuna next week.  I think this time it will happen.

Match #4 is ready to begin and this will determine who goes on to meet Verne next week at Island Slugfest.  Verne comes out first and waves as he goes to sit at commentary to scout the match.  “You don’t know me” sounds through the speakers and Heritage Champion Edge comes out to a pretty huge pop from the crowd.  He runs to the ring and slides under the bottom rope.  He doesn’t get much time to celebrate as the Ultimate Warrior’s music hits and he rushes down to the ring, gets in and starts shaking the ropes.  The two men have a quick staredown and this one is underway.  Things are interrupted when the Dr. of Thuganomics John Cena comes down wearing a referee’s shirt.  Cena says he asked and was granted the role of ref for this match as he wants to make sure the right man wins.  Warrior gets in his face but Cena threatens to DQ him if he so much as touches him.  For almost 25 minutes, Ultimate Warrior had Edge beat but each time he went for a pin, Cena was distracted.  First, it was something in his eye.  Then it was a glare from the audience.  The final time was when Cena left the ring to talk smack to Verne Gagne who was sitting at commentary.  We pick up at the 26th minute of the match.

After 30 minutes, the match is declared a draw.

Referee John Cena calls the match a draw and then attacks the Ultimate Warrior hitting him with the FU.  Warrior gets up pretty quick and chases Cena from the ring.  Reggie and Dave come out.  Dave says he and Reggie scored the match and based on points, awarded Ultimate Warrior with 187 points.  Edge, who made a comeback in the final minutes of the match, got 206.  Based on this, they awarded the title shot to Edge.  Reggie tells the fans that the Ultimate Warrior will get the chance to get his hands on Cena at the next show.  Verne goes up to Edge and shakes his hand but Edge doesn’t let go and just stares at the SPW World title sitting on Verne’s shoulder.  He finally lets go and both men eventually leave.

The lights then go out and over the loudspeakers blares “OHHHHHHHHHH…WHAT A RUSH!” and on the big screen, the Legion of Doom the Road Warriors – Animal and Hawk appear live via closed circuit.  The fans pop so loud that it takes almost a full minute before they can say anything.  Hawk begins “Broken necks, splattered patellas, severed arteries: These are the things from which dreams are made of.”  Animal looks right at the camera and says “You PUNKS, you wanted our attention, you got it.  We’ll see you next week.”  The fans start an “LOD” chant that goes on for almost 5 minutes.

It’s time for our main event.  The Magnificent Muraco comes out first accompanied by his manager Mr. Fuji.  He is booed pretty heavily.  Next, the World Champion Dean Melanko comes out and gets the second loudest pop of the night behind the LOD.   Melanko clearly outwrestled Muraco but Don finally managed to channel his rage and power and started to take it to the champ.  Dean went for the Texas Cloverleaf but Mr. Fuji threw salt in his eyes blinding him.  Muraco then rolled Dean up and with the ropes for leverage, got the 1-2-3.  Don Muraco gets the win much to the chagrin of the fans.  Don will go on to receive a shot at the World title next show.  (8 min)


Thanks for reading.  Be sure to come back for our next show ‘Island Slugfest’.
