1/9/16: PWF Showdown LXXXVIII

Interview:
Kings of Wrestling interview

("We Are The Champions" by Queen played as the Kings of Wrestling: PWF World
Heavyweight Champion Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli, Brent Albright and the
returning Larry Sweeney came to the ring to boos from the crowd.)

Larry Sweeney: I've got a question for all ya bums out there...Is Larry Sweeney
lookin' good tonight, or what?!!

(Sweeney posed for the crowd as they booed him out of the building.)

Larry Sweeney: Re-joining the PWF has been a nice, easy transition. As it turns
out, the strap is back where it belongs around the waist of your Hero from
Metropolis. It was a shame that poor, old Bret Hart had to be made an example
of, but the old school is dead and in it's place will live the new dominant
force that is the Kings of Wrestling!

(The fans booed Sweeney.)

Larry Sweeney: Matter of fact, nobody has seen or heard from Bret Hart since
Brent Albright taught Bret a lesson in friendship.

(Sweeney handed the microphone to Albright as the fans exploded with boos.)

Brent Albright: What a shame, huh? "The Hitman" Bret Hart was essentially taken
out back and shot in the head. PWFers, your Hitman is long gone and in his
place lives "The Shooter," "The Gun For Hire," yours truly, Brent Albright!

(The fans mercifully booed Albright.)

Brent Albright: There's a new mantra that is going to be held throughout the
PWF and it's quite simple: Get Out or Tap Out! That goes for any man who dares
get in my way or the way of the Kings of Wrestling. Bret Hart is gone and
you're looking at his successor.

(Hero tapped Albright on the back encouragingly and was handed the microphone.)

Chris Hero: Justice has finally been served. The innovator and pioneer of the
PWF has climbed back to the top of the mountain and in case anyone out there
hasn't noticed, in order to climb the mountain and throw me off, there are a
lot of sharp edges and steep drops along the way. I am the two-time PWF World
Heavyweight Champion, the leader of the Kings of Wrestling and your hero...

(Hero did a rolling flip and landed on his feet with his hands in the air.)

Larry Sweeney: Chris Hero! Let me tell you all something and let's get this out
there. You are looking at the re-structured Kings of Wrestling and in this administration,
nobody steps into our backyard! With "Double C" Claudio
Castagnoli, "The Gun For Hire" Brent Albright and "The King of Wrestling" Chris
Hero, "Sweet N' Sour" Larry Sweeney has the greatest group of men to go to war
with ever assembled. So, to all of you out there who want to try and tear us
down, you've got two tickets to Larrydise...and you ain't coming back!

(The Kings of Wrestling left the ring to boos from the crowd.)
