1/8/10: PWF Showdown XVI

Interview:
Bryan Danielson is introduced to a Destroyer

("The Final Countdown" by Europe played as the new PWF World Heavyweight
Champion "American Dragon" Bryan Danielson came to the ring to a thunderous
ovation from the crowd.)

Bryan Danielson: Battling a legend in Kenta Kobashi and fierce competitor in
Samoa Joe to finally reach my goal as becoming PWF World Champion was the
most difficult task I have ever encountered in my career. Not only will I be
the greatest fighting champion in the history of the PWF, I will become the
best champion in wrestling today!

("Hart Attack" by Jim Johnston played as Bret "Hitman" Hart came to the ring to
the shock and surprise of everyone.)

Bret Hart: Dragon, I'm out here to simply congratulate you on accomplishing
the ultimate goal here in the PWF. Not only do I have no doubt that you will
embody what a World Champion will be, I am positive you will show the world
what a World Champion should be.

(Hart shook hands with Danielson to cheers from the crowd as "Bloody Cape"
by The Deftones played. Paul Heyman walked to the ring to the confusion of the
crowd.)

Paul Heyman: Danielson, do you actually think you're going to run through the PWF roster and stake your claim as a great PWF World Heavyweight Champion?
Hart, you of all people should tell this young man that things like that
simply don't occur any longer in pro-wrestling. Danielson, I hate to break the
news to you, but you're already dead in the water. Danielson! I'd like to
introduce you to your future. A future of destruction and pain!

(The Destroyer, The Spoiler, Mr. Wrestling and Mr. Wrestling II walked to the
ring to the amazement of the crowd.)

Paul Heyman: Danielson, you have absolutely no idea what being a champion
entails. However, you're in luck. These four legend of the ring are here to
show you the way. Danielson and Hart, you two are looking at Masked Destruction
and you two don't have a prayer in the world of walking through these four men.

(The Destroyer went right after Danielson and laid him out with a dropkick to
the temple. The Spoiler grabbed Hart and applied the Iron Claw to his skull.
The Destroyer and Spoiler left Danielson and Hart lying on the mat as Masked
Destruction left the ring to huge boos from the crowd.)
