Samuel was bored. He wanted entertainment. Recently, he saw an ad for the latest NAWF show. It was in his town. The last time he heard about them, they were acquired by a man who owned an investment company.
Since the tickets were cheap, he bought them, one for him and one for his friend Jackson. Jackson didn't want to go but Samuel somehow persuaded him.
When they entered the arena, they found that almost half of it was full, probably due to the advertisements. Samuel and Jackson's seats were next to ring.
It looked new, the arena. Especially the new screen and the fresh look. They even added an announcer's table with the former Manager Lance Dawson as the commentator.
There were far more cameramen than before.
Jackson: I had once came here with my dad when I was a kid. The fights were decent but the quality was bad. But the whole thing's changed from back then. Maybe this time the experience won't be as bad.
Samuel: Maybe.
Lance Dawson: Welcome everyone to another show of NAWF! As you may see today we are having a new look, new arena and new stars. For our first match today we have-
As Lance was about to announce the first matchup, Rhodey Rhodes Piper's music started to play.
Flashback:
Vince: According to the new changes, you must learn atleast basic acting so it doesn't look like it's faked. So I have some acting coaches to teach you how to speak, your body language, your actions, everything.
Everyone was surprised. Stu looked at Vince with a raised eyebrow. From their earlier talks, Stu knew Vince's ambitions and hence decided to help him. But teaching wrestlers how to act?
Flashback over
Piper entered the ring with a mic in his hand. The crowd was also stunned. They didn't expect Piper to just barge in.
Piper entered the ring and just gestured to stop his entrance music.
Piper: You know why am I here now? It's because I am looking for a challenge. If there's anyone in there with balls then come out here. I am sure that I will beat you to a pulp.
Piper's provocation surprised everyone. Wasn't wrestling supposed to be just two men punching each other? Why was he challenging everyone?
While Samuel was thinking about Piper's open challenge, Andre the Giant's theme began to play.
Some of the audience began to cheer as the giant entered the ring. Piper threw off his jacket as the referee entered the ring.
Andre's manager Heenan took a mic and looked at Piper.
Diavasi: You said that there's no one strong enough to challenge you. My client Andre got angry when you said that. I had to stop him from just barging into the ring. So I speak from Andre's side- HE ACCEPTS YOUR CHALLENGE!
The audience roared as Heenan shouted the acceptance. Samuel and Jackson were among them.
The bell rang and the two began to fight.

Andre was going to pin Piper when Piper took out a chair from under the ring and attacked Andre. The match was immediately called off. The audience cheered even harder at Piper's cheating and started to boo him.
Jackson immediately took out his phone and started to record it. This would gather so many views on social media.
Andre, who was initially getting beaten by the chair, soon caught the chair and yanked it out of Piper's hands. The crowd started to cheer for Andre as he started to beat Piper with the same chair.
Piper soon got out of the ring and started to back away with a mic in his hand.
Piper: This isn't over, you hear me? This isn't over.
Andre just roared in response and the crowd started shouting his name.
Lance: Next week, it will be Andre the Giant vs Rhodey Rhodes Piper here on NAWF. Now it's time for a commercial break. We will be right back.
Vince: How was the ratings for the match?
TV Operator: 4 stars out of 5!
Vince: Yes!
Everyone in the TV and Digital Room erupted in cheers. This was their highest ever single match rating!
Amelia: Congratulations boss.
Vince: Lance would be so annoyed right now. Anyway I have to go get ready now so you take care of everything here.

Lance: Ladies and Gentlemen we are back from the break. Now we have a match between- oh it's getting out of hand now.
He was again interrupted by Boxing Rocking Ricky's theme starting from nowhere.
Ricky: Today, we are here in Boston in front of the biggest crowd I have ever seen. I can't wait to fight so just send anyone who has the guts the face me!
Samuel cheered while Jackson booed Ricky's arrogance.
Real American began to play as a tall man with white beard and wearing red leather pants entered. He had a microphone in his hand.
While most of the audience didn't know his name Jackson did. He was an avid wrestling fan and followed all wrestling shows everywhere in America.
Jackson: He's a well known wrestler from Florida.
Hogan: Welcome Boston! My name is Hulk Hogan and today I am here because I heard someone give an open provocation. So I thought, why not go and teach that man a lesson?
Ricky: Looks like some newbie's doesn't know where he ranks.
Hogan: I let my fists decide my rank.
