WWE DOMINION (takeover fallout)

As WWE's newest program comes on the air, the GM of the show, Paul Heyman is in the center of the ring with a mic in hand. The show is coming to you from the United Center in Chicago Illinois in front of 11,653 fans who are there cheering on their favorite stars.

As Paul Heyman welcomes the fans to the show seen on the FOX Sports network he begins to speak about the events of the last week. "In our attempt to take over the Epsilon program we has a minor setback. Their GM used his talent and experience to maintain control of the show. However, with that said, we are using our success from the failed takeover attempt to launch DOMINION!"

The fans began to cheer.

Heyman continues, "In the PPV last week "Total Dominion" we proved to ourselves that we have a strong brand. With that said, WWE DOMINION is now on the air and ready to rumble!"

Joey Styles, the voice of DOMINION begins by introducing himself and his broadcast partner, Matt Stryker to the viewing audience. "Paul E. never accepts failure. He turned a negative into a positive. He is a true mastermind, Matt."

The former school teacher agrees, "I agree with you Joey, with Paul Heyman at the helm of this ship called DOMINION this show has no where to go but through the roof!"

The ring announcer begins introductions for the first match, "The first match of the evening is a LEGENDS match. Introducing first, former WWWF Heavyweight Champion, from Princeton, Minnesota, Bob Backlund! And his opponent from Memphis Tennessee, former AWA World Champion, Jerry "The King" Lawler!

Referee Charles Robbins calls for the bell and the two veterans lock up. Backlund suprises Lawler with a arm drag takedown.

Joey Styles reminds the TV viewers that Backlund has an extensive collegiate background in amauter wrestling.

Jerry Lawler rolls out of the ring breaking Backlund's momentum. In his zeal to get "The King" back into the ring, Backlund gets too close to the ring apron which enables Lawler to pull his feet in a leg sweep type manuever and drops him to the mat. He pulls him outside the ring and begins to pound him with his fists. He whips Backlund into the ring barrier in front of some fans.

After being admonished by the referee, the two find their way back into the ring before the ten count. They battle inide for several minutes both mixing it up with wrestling holds and brawling tactics.

The King bodyslams Backlund and sets him up for a piledriver. After nailing the piledriver on Backlund, The king goes for the cover and is victorious. The fans continue to cheer.
