Rise of the Independents Presents: In The Beginning
Saturday October 1st, 2005
Ring announcer Steven DeAngelis gets everyone pumped up and says we are gonna get right to
the first matchup BUT some at first, unfamiliar music hits but older ECW fans recognize it! "El
Phantasmo and the Chicken Run Blast-O-Rama" by White Zombie and of all people, LANCE
STORM makes his way through the curtain to an absolutely HUGE ovation! But what is he
doing here? He gets in and grabs the mic as the crowd waits for it.....
Storm: "If I can be serious for a minute..."
The crowd again pops huge as Storm smirks and then proceeds to announce he will be an
"Authority figure" type for ROTI as he will interject himself and give certain stipulations to
matchups as he sees fit. All ROTI matches will have 30 minute time limits unless otherwise
noted. He says in between the completion of each section of the tournament when blocks
move on to face other blocks, there will be a "Prelude" type card where the participants in
blocks who will be facing each other next have a chance to feel each other out first. ALSO
throughout the tournament, each participant will have a surprise opponent in place of their
scheduled opponent ONCE EACH in the tournament. This will most likely be an opponent the
participant has past history with and that ROTI officials believe will give them a run for their
money and "test their mettle." Storm finishes and thanks the fans and tells them to enjoy the rest
of the show and he will probably see them soon!
Roderick Strong vs. Sexxxy Eddy
A fun match to get the crowd going, Eddy riled up the fans as usual with his male
stripper gimmick and everyone Strong doesn't NEED a gimmick besides breaking people’s
backs yo. Eddy was able to counter a few of Strong’s backbreakers but made the mistake of
launching himself at Strong, who caught him easily and delivered 3 backbreakers in a row!
Eddy was able to bust out a split-leg moonsault and the Sexxxy Plex for a 2. Strong came back
though with the fireman’s carry into the gutbuster and the big boot for a close 2. Eddy again
rebounded and got Strong down but he took too much time playing to the crowd before going
for Total Sexxxtasy and as he went for it, Strong was up and waiting and Eddy flipped
backwards back-first onto Strong’s knee! One Half Nelson backbreaker later and Strong got
the 1-2-3!
WINNER---Roderick Strong
***
Tony Mamaluke vs. Petey Williams
This was a damn fine display of technical wrestling as the “Italian Monster” took on
the “Canadian Destroyer.” Mamaluke was able to use his shoot-fighting skills to subdue Petey
early on but Petey was able to come back with his trademark satellite headscissors into a
Russian legsweep. The battle wore on and Mamaluke was able to get his Sicilian Crab on but
Petey barely made the ropes. Petey then fought back and locked in a Sharpshooter but
Mamaluke this time made the ropes. The fans were getting restless, waiting for the Canadian
Destroyer and Petey went for it but it was countered, getting the fans on Tony’s case. But
Petey turned the tide and finally hit the Canadian Destroyer to the fans’ delight and the academic
3 count.
WINNER---Petey Williams
*** 1/4
Chris Hero then came out and cut a promo on Colt Cabana saying he used to respect him back
in the IWA days but now he’s become nothing more than a puppet on the stupid fans’ strings.
Hero said tonight he would show everyone how to separate the elite wrestlers from the
worthless babyfaces.
Jack Evans vs. Danny Daniels
Evans established himself immediately as the face in this with his dancing and playing
to the crowd while Danny just LOOKS like an arrogant prick, he doesn’t even HAVE to do
anything. A unique matchup of styles as Danny’s punishing attack on the midsection was up
against Jack’s high-flying antics. Jack did an Ode to Blitzkrieg as well as a nice Falcon Arrow
but Daniels hit the inverted swinging gutbuster (like a Catatonic) to slow Evans right down.
Jack was able to toss Danny to the outside and hit a Space Flying Tiger Drop to the floor on
Daniels as the fans went nuts. Back inside Evans missed a quebrada and Daniels hit a SICK
piledriver with Evans bouncing up in the air ala RVD. He was too close to the ropes though
and got his foot on the bottom one. Danny sensed the end was near but missed a top rope flip.
Evans then went up for the Corkscrew 630 but Danny cut him off and lifted Evans onto his
shoulders, walked into the middle of the ring and then KILLED Evans with the Rubix Cube and
that was all she wrote.
WINNER---Danny Daniels
** 3/4
Sonjay Dutt vs. Puma
This match was possibly the most even match up of the night as 2 underdogs in the
tourney squared off. Puma was lethal with his swift kicks early on until Sonjay hit a DOUBLE
ROTATION satellite headscissors and then a somersault plancha on the floor. Back in the
Calcut Cut combo got 2. Puma came back and switched up his offense hitting a German suplex
and a Tiger suplex for 2 counts. He tried to lock on his Figure 4 Cloverleaf but Sonjay
escaped. Sonjay tried a Tornado DDT but Puma blocked it, tried for his Skull Crusher but
Sonjay blocked that and hit the Indian Summer, his variation of the Muscle Buster! He then
dragged Puma over to the corner and hit the Hindu Press! 1, 2, and 3!
WINNER---Sonjay Dutt
*** 1/4
The 2 shook hands after in a show of respect.
Doug Williams vs. Frankie Kazarian
Rolling right on we had a unique first-time meeting between the “Human Torture
Device” Doug Williams and “The Coolest Man in the World” Frankie Kazarian. Doug stumped
Frankie early on with his British style but Frankie was able to hit a nice slingshot DDT to gain
the advantage. Williams came back with a high knee in the corner and then one off the ropes.
He went for the top rope kneedrop, the Bomb Scare, Frankie cut him off, maybe looking for
the One Man Revolution but Williams shoved him off and connected with the Bomb Scare for a
close 2. Williams wanted to end it and went for the Chaos Theory but Kazarian blocked and
hit the Wave of the Future into the turnbuckle! Both men were tired and Frankie was up first,
waited for Williams to get up and then went for his springboard elbow off the 2nd rope but
Williams caught Frankie in a rear waistlock as he came backwards, rushed him into the corner
and hit the Chaos Theory for the big win!
WINNER---Doug Williams
** 3/4
Handshake after match.
The fans see on the video screen a confrontation between AJ Styles and Bryan Danielson prior
to tonight’s main event. It wasn’t a violent confrontation, more of a staredown. Lance Storm
got between both and put both over, basically telling that the stage is theirs tonight and to set the
tone for this whole tournament. The 2 shook hands and were on their way.
Samoa Joe vs. Delirious
This was pure comedy in the beginning as Delirious kept stalling and insisting to the
ref that Joe had pulled his “hair” and yanked his tights. Trouble is they hadn’t even locked up
yet. They finally locked up and did some chain wrestling with Delirious constantly yelling
random things, including something about a banana phone. The kid’s different. Anyways Joe
got tired of this and started laying in with the chops and his chop to back/kick to
chest/kneedrop combo. Delirious came back and had Joe in the corner peppering him with 27
straight clotheslines before realizing it was having no effect on Joe. Delirious ran to the other
corner and baited Joe in and then tried a diving clothesline in the corner but Joe slammed him
down with a brutal STO! Muscle Buster and Choke finished it.
WINNER---Samoa Joe
** 1/2
Chris Hero vs. Colt Cabana
Hero started out using many different European techniques but to his surprise
Cabana was able to keep right up with him! Hero went outside to regroup but didn’t see Colt
launch at him with a scintillating Asai Moonsault! The fans got right into that as Cabana brought
it back into the ring. Butt Butt in the corner followed by a lariat for 2. Tornado snap suplex for
another 2. Hero went to the eyes and locked on a Cravate to boos from the crowd. He hit a
nice Cravate Cutter and then a running senton for 2. He then worked over Colt’s neck with a
brutal Cravate suplex. He went to lock in the Hangman’s Clutch but Colt fought out, tried for
the Colt 45, Hero escaped and went for the Hero’s Welcome but Colt hit Hero in the head and
turned around, lifting Hero for an Air Raid Crash and dropping Hero head-first on his knee!
That got a close 2. Colt could feel the end near, he dragged Hero up and locked the arms for
the Colt 45 but Hero kicked the ref away and low blowed Cabana! A rollup from Hero and a
snag of the ropes and the ref came over and counted the pin! What a ridiculous steal of a win
for Chris Hero! Cabana is livid as Hero quickly retreats up the aisle!
WINNER---Chris Hero
*** 1/2
It’s main event time!
Bryan Danielson vs. AJ Styles
This was a very good match but it seemed as though Danielson was nursing an injury
of some sort that prevented this match from being as good as it could have been. Danielson
stretched the hell out of AJ in the beginning, including a perfect Mexican surfboard. AJ then
turned it around and stretched out Danielson himself with a Muta Lock. That broke it wide
open as AJ hit his suplex into a neckbreaker for 2. Danielson came back with a snap DDT and
diving headbutt for 2. Superplex got another 2 for Danielson. AJ then retaliated with his
moonsault reverse DDT for ANOTHER 2. They rapidly approached the 30 minute time limit,
going about 25 minutes when AJ hit a Pele kick. He missed a springboard 450 and both were
down. They got up and traded forearms, Danielson went for a roaring elbow, AJ ducked and
went for a discus lariat but DANIELSON ducked and they both went for the same move at the
same time and double KO’ed each other again. They were up again as there was about a
minute and a half left. AJ went for the Styles Clash but Danielson picked AJ up in a fireman’s
carry and started spinning! Where he stops nobody knows! He started spinning as the
announcement that only a minute was left rang out and the fans counted the rotations. 30
seconds left and Danielson was still spinning, the fans having given up on counting, about 15
seconds left, AJ suddenly shifted his weight down so Danielson’s head was between his legs
and lifted him, waited a few seconds to get his bearings and DOWN with the Styles Clash out
of nowhere! He turns it over into a pin with 6 seconds left, 1-2-3! AJ wins with 3 seconds left!
What an ending!
WINNER---AJ Styles
***
Danielson couldn’t believe what had just happened but eventually shook hands with AJ and
embraced him as our first show came to a close!

"If you turn your back on us, I swear to God I'll rip off your balls and shove them up your ass so that when you shit, you shit all over your balls! Got it?" ----Team America
The whole "I'm so Ronery" song by Kim-Jong Il is fucking hilarious too.
Haven't seen Orgazmo in a while though :thumbsdown:

Last I heard WWE was trying to get out of its contract with THQ, any updates thus far on ANYTHING regarding a WWE game coming out for PS2?
-
Just to give a little update here, I intend to resume this diary very shortly, things have been goin on in my life like new position at work, new girlfriend, etc. so I havent had any time for my diary. But rest assured my few fans, this will return very soon!
-
-
Well that fucking blows....
-
Good to see this is still alive and kicking. I havent been doing too good for consistency on my diary either for similar reasons, being real busy with work, new girlfriend etc. Anyways that was a wicked show, I'm real glad to see guys like Lovell get some Triple Chance shots, its a good way to mix in some younger guys with the already-established stars. Looking forward to California Dreams!

The Contaminated compilation CD's from Relapse Records have many different samplers, they are great introductory CD's. 27 reminds me of Tool. Burst are very good as are Exhumed.
-
Beatnik you are my hero, thanks a million!
-
Shit that sucks I was also wondering when they were coming out with something new
-
Nope not that either, argh! Its a pretty weird video, maybe it was only on in Canada or something....if anyone happens to remember though please tell me!
-
ya I would have, it was on a lot on Much Music here in Canada at least a couple months ago. Umm I cant remember much about the song besides the girls singing and that it was a rap/rock type song. The girls repeated "We are" a lot.....
