Mid-Pacific Promotions Newsletter #019

Hello fans and welcome back to our latest edition of the Mid-Pacific Promotions…a proud member of the SPW Alliance.  Remember, you can sign up now for only $9.95 a month. 

BREAKING NEWS:  Reggie Parks informs us that in less than a month, MPP will host is FIRST EVER PPV and it will be called “The Cutting Edge” on 8/5/17.  As of right now, the only match confirmed for this PPV will be our main event and that will be for the SPW Heavyweight Championship.  The champ comes (back if Gagne) to Hawaii and a tournament will be held in two weeks to see who will face him.  We know CM Punk wants another shot to make up for his loss the last time Verne Gagne was here (for those who don’t remember, Gagne WIPED the floor with Punk – it was embarrassing).   But first, another person has a beef with Punk and the Dr. of Thuganomics comes out with his manager Sensational Sherri and demands a mic.  He takes a chair, unfolds it and sits down. Sounds like he’s got something to say.

John Cena:

The reason I’m sitting here, sitting in a funk

Is because of the GTS that I took from you, Punk

I don't think you understand what I'm sayin’

You're gonna hit your knees quicker than a priest when he's prayin’

You're the poster child for the birth control pill

You go down faster than a ho, for a five dollar bill

I'm the real Superman, you ain't nothing but Clark Kent

I go for four quarters, you're halftime, like 50 Cent

I'm gonna hang your ass, you're like a Christmas Tree ornament

I'll whack you more times than a masturbation tournament

You get my point now? Before I thought you missed it

I'm a vigara triple shot, you’re just a limp bizkit

WORD LIFE

Cena and Sherri leave with Sherri acting all proud of Cena.

It’s time for our first match.  Billy Pearl (aka Bill Walsh) makes his way down to the ring but inadvertently bumps into Cena.  He tried to apologize but Cena got all crazy and attacked Pearl.  He beat him down and dragged him to the ring.  He told them to ring the bell and this one is underway.  Pearl got in a few licks but nothing substantial.  Cena basically used him as target practice taking his time beating Pearl up and down.  Finally, Sherri told John to end it and he hits a spinebuster slam and hooks the leg to get the 1-2-3.  John Cena wins the match and is joined in the ring by Sherri.  Together, they parade around the ring and then finally leave when the negativity from the fans gets to be too much.  (15 min; 93 to 60)

Mr. Fuji and the Pacific Heavyweight Champion Don Muraco show up.  Muraco tells Fuji that he needs to be entered into the tournament to see who will meet the SPW Champion.  Muraco is fine being the champ in Hawaii but feels the need to take his thing to a grander scale.  Fuji tells him he will make it happen.  Fuji then notices that Muraco has to defend the World title tonight.  Muraco flips out and they storm off looking for our owners.

Next, Bull Pain is already in the ring awaiting his opponent.  ‘The Demon’ and head of the Bullet Club Finn Balor comes out and is ready for action.  Bull Pain attacks Balor as he enters the ring but Balor fights him off sending him out of the ring with a well-placed dropkick.   Bull makes it back in the ring and takes the fight to Balor (surprisingly) holding his own.  Pain doesn’t let Balor get many pin attempts in and this one ends up coming to an end due to the time limit running out.  Bull Pain storms off.  Balor meets with the fans briefly before leaving.  (20 min time limit; 105 to 89)

“The Macho Man” Randy Savage addresses his loss to the Ultimate Warrior saying that Warrior was the better man in their match but he and Elizabeth walked away where UW had to be helped out due to the deviousness of Miss Elizabeth.  Savage says he wants to compete in a tournament to see who will meet the SPW World Champion upon his return to MPP.  If he ends up against UW again, well, he promises a different turnout this time.

We have a tag team match up next.   Already in the ring are Essa Rios and Dolph Ziggler.  Music hits and the Ascension – Konnor and Viktor – head to the ring.  The fans don’t care for them so they make themselves vocal.  The Ascension beat the holy hell out of Rios and Ziggler but the challengers proved to be, err, a challenge to them and broke up every pin attempt the Ascension tried to make.  No matter how much they got beat down, their resilience frustrated Konnor and Viktor at every turn.   Finally, the bell rings on this one bringing it to a 30 min time limit draw.  Konnor and Viktor are not happy and drag their opponents out of the ring and hit each of them with the Fall of Man on the floor.  They pompously paraded around and left as Essa and Dolph were attended to.  (285 to 136)

Don Muraco and Mr. Fuji storm into Dave Millican’s office demanding to know why Don was being forced to fight tonight.  Millican tells them that if they read the memo (emailed, texted, posted via Instagram, Facebook, Twitter AND had flyers put up EVERYWHERE), they would have seen the new line up for title defenses.  The World Championship just happens to need to be defended today.  Muraco asks who and is told it will be against A-Team member Austin Aries!

It’s time to head back to the ring for our next match.  First, Muhammed Hassan comes out to a mixed reaction from the crowd.  Next, Bullet Club member AJ Styles comes out to a huge pop from the crowd.  This was a short match that Styles had control on from the beginning.  It didn’t take long for him to hit the Phenominal Forearm and get the pin in 7 minutes.  (66 to 32)

Backstage, Austin Aries is with the A-Team (Adrian Neville and Antonio Cesaro) and says tonight is the night he brings prestige to the A-Team.  He is interrupted by Reggie Parks who tells him that the A-Team members are not “authorized managers” so they will not be allowed at ringside.  Basically, Aries is on his own.  He doesn’t seem too worried.

It’s time for our MAIN EVENT.   First, the challenger and leader of the A-Team Austin Aries makes his way down to the ring.  Next, Mr. Fuji and the Pacific Heavyweight Champion Don Muraco come out and Muraco looks extremely confident.  He gets in the ring and then is totally OWNED by Aries.  Muraco couldn’t believe it.  Aries was handing him his ass!  Muraco tried to get counted out only to be brought back in the hard way.  Fuji even tried to get Muraco disqualified but that didn’t help either.  Muraco began fumbling trying to figure out what the hell was going on when Aries caught him with a powerdrive elbow drop.  Aries made the cover and with a solid hook of the leg, got the 1-2-3.  HOLY CRAP!  Austin Aries just defeated Don Muraco to become the NEW Pacific Heavyweight Champion.  (13 min; 63 to 93)  Muraco grabs the mic and says that if Aries read the fine print, this is a best of 3 falls, 60 min time limit.  Aries still needs to score another fall.  The ref reminds us that if Muraco is disqualified, he’s done.  For the second fall, it was quite the reversal with Muraco annihilating Aries.  He took 11 minutes and a frontal plex to score the next fall.  (61 to 95)  Now, it’s the final fall with 36 minutes remaining.  This one was much closer with both men hitting their specialties only to have the other kick out (Aries) or make it to the ropes (Muraco).  We join the match at the 11 minute mark.
