4/30 THE FORUM
It's the biggest night in the brief history of Top Professional Wrestling Warriors as we crown the first King Of The Forum champion! Plus, we will know how the top fifteen contenders for the gold will rank, meaning every match tonight is crucial in the championship standings!
We kick things off with a three-way dance between three of the first four men out of the KotF tournament (Shane Douglas is still in rehab, otherwise this would be a four-corners match). It's El Hijo Del Santo vs. Road Warrior Animal vs. Shaggy 2 Dope. Shaggy is out pretty quickly after taking a flying knee from Santo, leaving Santo and Animal to go one-on-one. Big match between two international icons that Santo wins with his La De A Caballo submission hold.
Two men who have to be disappointed in their runs through the KotF are Sean Morley and Sid Vicious. Two holdovers from the wrestling industry's '90s peak go toe-to-toe for a spot in the top ten contenders. Big Sid gets the win with a powerbomb, then lays into Morley with boots after the bell sounds, sending a message to whoever walks out of tonight with the gold!
Stevie Richards and Sean Waltman have consistently put on the best matches in TPWW, and tonight they go at it in another exciting contest. Two men with educated feet put on a clinic until Waltman catches Richards unaware with the Buzzkill for the win.
Two men who have made names for themselves in TPWW thus far are Monty Brown and Shad Gaspard. These two giant brawlers battle it out in our next match. Brown hits the ropes to prepare for the Pounce, but eats a big Brooklyn Boot, and Shad gets the win.
Sabu and Scott Hall were both eliminated from title contention last week, so both are looking to bounce back and become the #4 contender for the KotF gold. These two grizzled veterans definitely bring their A game for this match that sees Sabu pick up the clean win with a triple jump moonsault.
Low Ki and Raven have torn through the first four weeks of TPWW's existence. Tonight, the winner goes on to the finals of the King Of The Forum title tournament. The loser must defeat Fatu to earn a rematch in the main event! Another great match, and these two definitely look like they're ready to headline TPWW shows for years to come. Ki looks like he's about to pick up a big win when Scott Hall makes a surprise appearance, laying him out with the Outsider's Edge behind the referee's back. Raven covers the unconscious Ki for the win, then Raven and Hall put the boots to Ki afterwards.
A promo plays for next week's show featuring a celebration ceremony for the first King Of The Forum champion as well as five TPWW debuts. When we come back to the arena, officials have managed to revive Low Ki and are trying to convince him to forfeit his match with Fatu, but the World Warrior refuses. Fatu comes out for the match, but Ki just doesn't have his usual magic in him, and he eats a Kishi Driver. After the match, Fatu and Ki shake hands showing that there was nothing personal to it.
However, Fatu's victory celebration is cut short as Raven blindsides him and orders the referee to ring the bell to start their championship match! Raven starts off with strikes then a pair of big neckbreakers. Fatu fights back with a hip toss and a charge in the corner. Piledriver gets two, then Raven catches Fatu with a DDT, but doesn't have enough in him to get more than two. Raven hits a tornado punch for two more and is looking frustrated. He tries a legdrop but misses. Fatu hits a strike, but eats a flying shoulder tackle. While the ref checks on Raven, Sean Waltman blindsides Fatu with a chair, allowing Raven to hit the Raven Effect and pick up the win! The announcers hype Raven as the new King Of The Forum while Raven and Waltman stomp the hell out of Fatu as we fade to black.
