Upset of the Week: Billy Smith defeating Anthony Hazard. No contest.
Who’s HOT: Freddy Fever is on a roll. His only defeat at the hands of Anthony Hazard. He’s leading the pack with a score of 115.
Who’s NOT-So-HOT: Johnny Blades. Xyz. They need to pick it up here if they’re going to any sort of threat in this tournament.
What’s going on here? Rachel Ryan & Pretty Boy Monty. It’s still early in the tournament and their opponents have been top rated. I have a feeling both of these competitors will be up near the top before this one is over.

I’m Shelly Marks and this has been your Grand Prix report.
Ed: Welcome to OWA Championship Wrestling. I’m Ed Bagel and I’m here with my cohost Biff Franklin.
Biff: And it’s your pleasure! Haha. Let me tell you something, I think Freddy Fever’s head has gotten pretty big! He’s going to take on Asian Invasion with one arm tied behind his back!
Ed: Freddy Fever is a consummate professional. He’s faced Asian Invasion on a couple of occasions and he feels like he can take Invasion with one arm tied behind his back. But you have to wonder what Invasion, or Fever for that matter, have planned for this match.
Biff: I’m predicting that Fever will be brought down a notch and that Invasion will come out on top of this one.
Ed: Shogun will defend the OWA TV Championship against Mr. America. America had a great start in the Grand Prix tournament. And now is his chance to gain his first title in the OWA.
Biff: Mr. America, aside from his problems with Asian Invasion, is a great competitor. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Mr. America defeat Shogun and win the TV Championship.
Ed: We have plenty of action, so let’s get down to ringside.
Tara Quinn vs. Shocker
Announcer: This match is one fall. First coming down the aisle. She weighs in at 129 pounds. This is “Harley” Tara Quinn! And her opponent, being led down to the ring by Sir Goodwin. He weighs in at 230 pounds. Here is The Shocker!
Ed: Now last week, Tara Quinn snapped, and the result is that Jetstream is no longer in the OWA. He is out with a broken knee and he may not return to wrestling at all. And. oh my! The referee turned to call for the bell and Tara Quinn just nailed Shocker with a low blow and Shocker is in serious trouble here.
Biff: Tara Quinn pulls no punches. I like her style. She’s going to finish this one off early. She goes to the turnbuckle but Shocker moves out of the fistdrop. Shocker is up. He nails her with a shoulder block and another.
Ed: Tara Quinn slides under Shocker and nails him with another low blow and the referee is calling for the bell. She nails him with a couple more low blow and Sir Goodwin comes in, as Quinn leaves the ring and check out the look on Tara Quinn.
Biff: She’s not all there, Bagel. You gotta know she’s not all there.
Announcer: Winner of this match as the result of a disqualification, The Shocker.
Virgo
Dim lighting, and the faint outline of a man standing in front of a car in the darkness, the only light coming from the vehicles headlights)
I have been sitting, watching all these other wrestlers competing for all the titles they could get. And some got those titles, while the majority lost them just as quickly as they got them.
But to sit and listen to these people whine because. I was cheated! or, I don’t know what happened to make me lose the title.. Pathetic. I think it’s time for my shot at a title. And I have to get through you people to do it. So be it.
But when you step in the ring with Virgo, and I step out the victor. There will be no “How could I lose?” because I will leave no doubt as to why you lost. Quite simply, I will beat you. That’s how. No ifs ands or buts.
Virgo has arrived.
Tom Tomorrow vs. Ricky Hype
Announcer: This match is one fall. First, coming down the aisle. He weighs in at 310 pounds. Here is the “Wrestler of the Future” Tom Tomorrow! And his opponent. He is accompanied to the ring by Anthony Hazard. He weighs in 257 pounds. Here is Ricky Hype!
Ed: Ricky Hype said he was bringing his fans with him to the OWA, and I tell ya, it sounds like all 25,000 people crammed in here tonight are from Ricky Hype’s hometown of Hudson Bay, Canada!
Biff: Yeah, and what’s with all the sunglasses they’re wearing? Must be some kind of hockey thing I think. Can they even see?
as camera flashes start to pop all over the arena, Ricky Hype makes his way to the ring, he high fives some of his fans, signs tons of autographs, and kisses a few good looking girls on his way]
Biff: Is this match going to start tonight or should I get a wakeup call?!?!
Ricky Hype rounds the ring, stops and says hi, to the Spanish announcers and then starts towards Ed and Biff]
Biff: What’s he doing? He’s coming over here!
Ricky Hype pulls up a chair and sits down next to Ed]
Ricky Hype: Ed, Biff, just wanted to come over and introduce you to the Hypelife!! Whatta ya think of my fans? They’re the greatest ever!! They came here to see a show and they’re gonna get one!!!!
Ricky Hype gets up and heads for the ring]
Ed: Now hold on a moment. Johnny Fate is coming down the aisle and he is standing in the corner of Tom Tomorrow. Is there some sort of pact here?
Biff: How am I supposed to know?? If Hype can have Hazard at ringside, then Tomorrow can have that loser Fate at ringside. Even if it does smell down here now.
Ed: Are you going to start again? There’s the bell and Tomorrow nails Hype with a clothesline but Hype isn’t playing that. Hype with a faceslam and a superkick and Tomorrow goes out to regroup.
Biff: Hype is all action tonight. He’s trying to make up for his lousy performance in the Grand Prix tournament. Tomorrow gets back into the ring. Hype goes for a flying dropkick, but Tomorrow ducks and Hype hits the mat.
Ed: Tomorrow drops an elbow then pulls up Hype and nails him with a bodyslam. Tomorrow with a cross corner whip. He charges in, but Hype lifts a knee. Hype nails Tomorrow with a clothesline.
Biff: Hype nails Tomorrow with a spin kick and goes for the cover. one. two. Kickout by Tomorrow. Hype goes for a flying elbow, but Tomorrow ducks. Tomorrow nails Hype with a choke slam and goes to the top.
Ed: What the?!? Johnny Fate just nailed Tomorrow with that pipe! Hype looks over. Hazard is trying to get Hype’s attention. Hazard then chases after Fate down the aisle. Fate goes through the curtain.
Biff: He just came back. Freddy Fever just pushed Fate back! Now Fate is trapped between Hazard and Fever. In the ring. Hype with a waistlock suplex. one. two. three!
Ed: Fever just nails Fate with a superkick, and Hazard just clotheslines him. Fever brushes past Hazard and towards the ring and Hazard goes back to let Hype know what happened. Fever helps Tomorrow out of the arena and Hazard and Hype walk out, past the downed Johnny Fate.

Elaine Bryant: We’re at ringside and about to announce the first two teams for Endurance’s Evil Challenge. All of the OWA wrestlers’ names were put into this barrel, each sealed in an envelope. Everyone knows the first round consists of random tag team matches. At this time, I’ll be selecting the first two teams to compete in that tournament.
Elaine reaches into the barrel and pulls out an envelope. The first member of team one, will be, what a coincidence. Johnny Fate. And his tag team partner will be.
