Granite City Wrestling

[styx]

Welcome Wrestling Fans !!!!!

Background: Granite City Wrestling is a small "Indy" Fed based out of Barre, VT. Co-owner and Booker is Douglas Fairbanks Fields. Co-owner and Queen of every thing else is Julie Fields. Mr. & Mrs. Fields also do the play by play and color for the DVD's. Ring Announcer is Chris Safford. Head of Security is SSG Gordon Douglas Fields, Ex Army MP and Ex Bethel Constable. His right hand man is Robert Thompson. Company "Head Shrieker" is Anna Adams-Thompson, her employment is vital due to the increasing social problems in Pro Wrestling.

Even though "GCW" is a small promotion. It has deep pockets and has signed same of the greatest talent in history. It will run shows once a week. "GCW" has booked two incredible venues for it's shows. First the Burlington Memorial Auditorium in Burlington, VT. A 2500 seat building located near the center of town. The second is located in "GCW" own back yard. Barre City Auditorium is a 1600 seat building located in the center of town. "GCW" may branch out to other location later, right now we keep it simple.

The first card will be held in Burlington. It will be the venue that will make history. When the "GCW" crowns it's first champions. (Heavyweight, Lt Heavyweight (249lbs limit), Tag Team). After the first card, Wrestlers will be contracted for a four show appearance. After the four shows, some will be resigned for four more and some will be released.

I hope that I have explained the "GCW". If not please ask and I will be happy to answer. I will start hyping "Gold Rush" super card soon.

Thank you from all of us at "GCW"

Midnight Express w/ Jim Cornette vs Killer Bees (Tag Title Match)
Killer Bees had their"A" game going to night. The more the Express tried to bully and brawl. The more the bee's went to the ground game. Using Boston crabs and figure fours. The fight finally went to the floor. Dennis Condrey hits a gut wrench suplex on the concrete. Referee Matt Lozell calls for the bell. DQing the Express and crowning The Killer Bees "GCW" Tag Team Champions. (This will be the only night when you can win a "GCW" title by DQ or Count Out)
Time 4:03

Crusher promo; Camera pans the outside of a local watering hole. With a spinning sign "Nectars". As the camera moves in side. We see The Crusher ("PBR" in hand). He is chanting with a couple of local wrestling fans ( Wilfred Burbo and his brother Kenny Jr. ) .
Crusher; Com'n there hot stuff.
Anna; Excuse me!! Crusher how much have you had?
Crusher; 14 or 15, not that many!!
Anna; 14 or 15, Crusher I believe you may have a alcohol problem. My son is paying you to wrestle not sit here and drink with the local criminals.
Crusher; Hold on there lady, I have no problem. I order it, I drink it, I then whoop some rear, and get paid. So I suggest, You sit down, relax and have a beer.
Anna; I don't drink any more. I'm a PROFESSIONAL.
Crusher; Then take your professional, no drinking, old bootty, back up that hill and I'll seen you soon.
( Anna Adams-Thompson goes stomping out of "Nectars")

Ray Stevens vs Crusher
Crusher probably should have layed off the "PBR". Not one offensive move. Steven's owned Crusher tonight. But to Crusher's credit it did take two "Bombs Away", for Steven's to get the 1-2-3.
Time 3:27

Sandman vs Jimmy Valiant
Sandman's entrance same as every other night in the last 15yrs. ( Sandman, Singapore Cane, Budweiser, Bloody forehead before he gets in the ring). "GCW fans off the hook. The chant; " ECW" echos through the building. Followed by "YOU Are HARDCORE".
(Anna makes her way to the announce table)
Anna; Douglas!!! when are you going to put a stop to all this drinking!!!
Douglas; Mother, relax this Professional Wrestling. Not tea time at the Three Stallion. So go back to your seat and enjoy the show.
Anna; Your being a fool head!! Your going to ruin this company
(Anna Returns to her seat)
Julie; She's never going to give you credit
Douglas; It doesn't matter, you know mother.
Julie; I know she has skeletons, and I'd like to rattle them.
Jimmy's entrance is not what he expected. The "GCW" fans hit him with. " Sandman's going to kill you"
The crowds negative must have fired Jimmy up. He controls the first 2 plus minutes, before Sandman hits a Heinkarana and then "BANG" Singapore Cane Shot. ( Referee Matt Lozell is hesitate to call for the bell)
Anna: Matthew call for the bell, DQ that drunk
( Matt does as his Grandmother says)
Time 3:04

Lt Heavyweight Video promo Showcasing all three wrestlers
Antonio Rocca; Hugh Face Over Big
Justin Credible; Total Heel Very little heat He may have to prove himself.
Sam Hayne; No one knows who he is, but by the end of the video package. Some fans are chanting " We want fire"

Douglas; What a video package. I like to thank my good buddy Robert Thompson for putting that together. Honey!! listen to these fans, their sick and they love Sam Hayne
Julie; Yeah, Those are same ones I saw standing on Church Street. Who's mother's on welfare. I'm so glad I pay my taxes, so they can be free.

Rocca vs Credible vs Hayne ( Lt Heavyweight title match)
A very, very, good match. That saw 12 pin attempts. By the end of the match Rocca was clearly over. Sam Hayne was growing his following. Justin Credible was "CHAMPION". Credible hits a DDT on Rocca for the 1-2-3. What little heat, Credible had is now gone. It is now a raging, after his defeat of Rocca.
(after, match Rocca grabs a mic)
Rocca; Thank you for a great response, Burlington.
A Fan; We love you Antonio.
Rocca; I love You!!!!
A fan; Come to Barre!!!
Rocca; I would love to, But as I told Mr. Fields. I have been contracted to wrestle on a South American Tour, starting tomorrow. I'm sorry, but I will be back and Justin " BE READY"
Time 28:33

Ed Lewis vs Killer Kowalski
Lewis started out strong. But, Kowalski power finally took over. Kowalski made Lewis tap out to the claw.
Time 7:13

Antonio Inoki vs Bruiser Brody
This was a classic mismatch. due to bad booking, jet lag for Inoki. Brody being underrated. Inoki very little offense. Brody seemed to never be hurt.
( Brody grabs a mic)
Brody; Fields I want a title match with the winner of tonights main event
Douglas; You look like you maybe the # 1 Contender, but I'm bring in a world class grappler for next month. Lets see how you do against him.
Brody; Who is this clown?
Douglas; DOCTOR DEATH STEVE WILLIAMS
(The crowd explodes)
(Brody doesn't seem shaken)

Dan Severn vs Rick Rude w/ Bobby Heenan vs DDP (Heavyweight Title Match)
DDP strong early, Severn seemed out classed, Rude's Cardio program pays off. He was the only one not breathing like a banshee at the 13:00 mark. Rude finally hit the Rude Awaking on DDP for the 1-2-3. To become "GCW" Heavyweight Champion.
Time 15:08

Douglas; That's all folks. What incredible night. See you in Barre next week

This one was not for the faint of heart. Sandman didn't let Valiant get off to a quick start. Sandman drew first blood, with a singapore cane shot, followed by a hardcore DDT on the concrete

Fans chant; " Holy s**t " " Holy s**t "

( All of a sudden, half the " GCW " fans start chanting )

" Handsome Jimmy " Handsome Jimmy "

" Here we go Handsome !!! " " Here we go Handsome !!! "

They find their way back to the basement. Jimmy hits a spine smasher on a ladder. They brawl back to other side of the basement, out the door and on to Champlain College property.
They brawl toward the construction site we saw earlier. Sandman piledrives Jimmy through the first level of scaffolding onto the ground. As they brawl back toward the arena, Jimmy pushes Sandman into an on coming car ( up and over the hood goes Sandman). They finally, make it back inside the building and into the restrooms. As they brawl inside the restrooms, Jimmy ripes the hand dryer off the wall and smashes Sandman in the face.

Douglas; " Did I see some teeth go flying "
Julie; Come on baby !!!! You don't really think he has his own teeth.
Douglas; It's Possible !!!
Julie; Without those dentures, he's as toothless as the women here in Burlington !!!!

Jimmy drags an unconscious Sandman, back out to ring side. Puts him on a table, Jimmy then goes to the balcony area.
