He said that, unfortunately, Sting wouldn’t be here tonight… but a friend of his had some business he was looking to settle here in Auckland tonight! Curt Hennig entered and met Bret in the ring. Hennig promised the crowd that this version of himself was the best one yet, and that this version had a lot of fire left in the tank. To prove it, he asked Bret to make his next challenge official. The commissioner agreed and announced that Hennig’s challenge tonight would be one-half of the WWA World Tag Team Champions, Buff Bagwell! That match was announced as tonight’s main event!

- “The Franchise” Shane Douglas made his way to the ring with Francine on his arm to open tonight’s show.

Suddenly, AJ Styles entered and asked Douglas to put his money where his mouth was. If it really was ‘in with the new’, Douglas should give a hungry, young talent like him a shot at the WWA World Heavyweight Championship tonight!

- Radiation (Bryan Clark & Brian Adams) came to the ring with microphones to open tonight’s show. Brian Adams explained that after what Dawn Marie pulled at THE ERUPTION on pay-per-view, he should’ve expected a jezebel like her to stick her plastic-filled chest in where it didn’t belong! She made her point clear and Adams was looking to make his point clear when he and Bryan Clark regain the WWA World Tag Team Championship!

He’s sick of hearing about the what-ifs and decided that Hennig would be the PERFECT tune-up for Douglas before his run across Europe next month. After Douglas puts Hennig’s revival down, it’ll be onto the next casualty!

Suddenly, “No Gimmicks Needed” Chris Candido entered the arena and pointed down to Douglas in the ring who was absolutely LIVID and beside himself!
Just finished catching up and have really enjoyed the fantasy booking so far!
Thanks so much for reading thus far! I chose to rebook WWA, because I could basically use it as a blank canvas with the spot shows leading into PPVs. Messing with the roster, mixing in free agents from the time has been fun!
