Ed: Lane hops into the ring.
Biff: Duh! Like none of us just saw that happen.
Ed: These two are ready to go. Lane hands the belt to the ref and there’s the bell.
Biff: Why do you always get to start these things?
Ed: I’m the play-by-play man.
Biff: Ah. There’s the lock up!
Ed: HEY!!

Press Conference
Scene changes to a special room where reporters and photographers and camera men are awaiting the arrival of UCP Commissioner Stevie. Soon, camera start flashing as the commissioner makes his way to the front of the room.]
Stevie: Thanks for coming on such short notice.
Commissioner tosses the Internet Belt on the table in front of the podium. You can see it littered with catsup, mustard and some relish.]
Stevie: First let me announce that Davey Scott has been stripped of the North American Championship after his disgusting display. I hereby declare this title vacant. Let me also announce that this title is hereby going into retirement due to my next announcement. As you know, we have gone through some changes moving from the OWA which was one at the top of the wrestling food chain. As ratings and buy rates declined, we took a brief hiatus to make some adjustments to our product. So we became the UCP and focus on a weight-based wrestling organization. However, I feel that has really hindered us in providing the best product we can to our fans. Therefore.
A hush comes over the crowd...]
Stevie: For the past several weeks, I have been in negotiations with a group known as World Freestyle Wrestling. These negotiations include the purchase of Universal Cruiser Pro. As of noon today, these negotiations were made final and UCP is now a wholly own subsidiary of the WFW.
The WFW has come into existence to purchase wrestling federations in order to create a positive wrestling experience for the fan as we’ll as the individual wrestlers involved. UCP is the first federation to be purchased by WFW, however it will not be the last. At least 2 other federations are in negotiations with WFW and may soon come to agreements with them.
The WFW will allow the federations to remain on their own, and I will continue to be the commissioner of this branch of the WFW.
However, a few changes are being made by WFW within the UCP and they are as follows:
1) Only 2 single belts are allowed. I was worried at first as to which title I would be dropping. However, Davey Scott made that choice all the more easier. UCP will retain the UCP Title, currently held by Traci Lane and the UCP TV Championship, held by Virgo.
2) WFW has instructed UCP to limit their touring to the Western United States.
3) WFW has also approved the name change from Universal Cruiser Pro to Western States Championship Wrestling or the WSCW, to reflect our more regional status. Our offices will be moving from Dallas to Seattle Washington within the next week.
4) WFW is planning on creating the World Freestyle Wrestling World Championship, and will have a tournament sometime early in 1998. The top wrestlers under the WFW banner will compete, live on PPV for that crown and will be traveling around the world to defend it.
Now these are just a few of the changes you’ll see from WFW and WSCW right away. Other announcements will be made as other federations are added to the WFW. Now, I have time to take a few questions.
Reporter #1: Since you knew you’d be making this announcement, did you instruct Davey Scott to toss that title in the trash can?
Stevie: Absolutely not. In fact, my original intent would have been to take the TV Championship and toss that one out, however, when I saw Davey Scott toss that title into the trash can, I knew that my decision was made that much easier.
Reporter #2: Which states will be covered by the WSCW?
Stevie: As it stands, the following states will be toured by WSCW in the next year: Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Idaho, Wyoming and Montana.
Reporter #3: Will this hurt TV ratings at all?
Stevie: Actually, regionalizing is a very good strategy at this point and time in professional wrestling. WFW isn’t pulling our TV shows from stations around the country. We will keep our current base, but add more stations to those states in our territory. I have time for one more question.
Reporter #4: Will these changes effect “Deck The Halls” in any way?
Stevie: As far as I can see, the only person affected in Monica Brant. However, I’ve been guaranteed that Monica Brant will be allowed into the WFW World Title tournament, in 1998. Her position at Deck the Halls in a bit uncertain at this time. She is due a title shot, and we will do what we can to make that right with her.
Reporters are shouting more questions as Stevie heads out of the room, and the camera fades.]
