HUDSON says that their actions last week were despicable!
DUNCUM says that Dustin Rhodes needed to be taught a lesson. Dustin’s been coming out here and badmouthing him, and NOBODY runs their mouth about Bobby Duncum Jr without paying the price for it, and that’s what happened last week!
GARY HART says that Dustin Rhodes, Tito Santana, Chris Adams, and everybody else in the GWF would be wise to just stay out of their way.
MIKE MCGUIRK is in the ring, and she introduces the competitors for the evening’s first contest.

He’s interrupted by a blonde woman, who comes out in business attire and glasses.
(picture Terri Runnells in her Alexandra York days, as that’s basically what I’m going for here)
SCOTT doesn’t quite know what to make of this woman, and before he can say anything, she takes the microphone out of his hand.
The woman says her name is MS. BANKS. She says that, for years she’s wanted to be a wrestling manager, but she’s always heard that it’s a boys club, women are only around to act as arm candy for the wrestlers.
MS. BANKS says that her family made a fortune on Wall Street, and now she’s using some of that money to prove to everyone that a woman can be a successful manager. She says that she’s using her family’s fortune to bankroll what she calls the BANKS FOUNDATION, a collection of the top wrestlers in the World! She says that she will be unveiling the Banks Foundation soon, right here on Global Wrestling.
SCOTT then sends us to the California Clash Control Center, hosted by a newcomer to the GWF, a man that wrestling fans will know well, they call him “the Dean” . . .
GORDON SOLIE!!
GORDON SOLIE stands in a control room, several monitors.
GORDON says he’s happy to be here in the GWF, and then talks about California Clash, coming up on March 9, from the Memorial Sports Arena in Los Angeles. The event will be shown live on ESPN.
SOLIE talks about the Global Tag Team Title situation, and then introduces footage of a recent match between the Champions the Unholy Alliance and Ultimo Dragon and Hayabusa.
CLIP: The Unholy Alliance double-teaming Hayabusa to retain the belts in a hard-fought match against Hayabusa and Ultimo Dragon.GORDON then introduces new GWF Commissioner
DORY FUNK JR.
DORY walks out onto the screen, and shakes hands with Gordon.
DORY then talks about the Tag Title situation, and says that there are two teams in the GWF that both have a legitimate claim to being the #1 contenders, the “Dream Team” of El Hijo Del Santo and Jushin Liger, and the team we just saw in that video, Hayabusa and Ultimo Dragon. On top of that, there’s plenty of bad blood between Santo and Liger and Hayabusa and Dragon.
FUNK says that, as far as he can tell, the best way to settle this is to have all three teams square off, at the same time . . . in a Triple Threat match!
DORY says that all three teams will be in the ring at the same time, and the match will be an elimination type match, where once a wrestler is pinned, submits, is counted out or disqualified, his team is eliminated from the match. It continues until one team is left.
GORDON says that is a match the fans are definitely not going to want to miss, and sends us back to Scott Hudson at ringside.
SCOTT HUDSON talks about the man that will be in action next, Bob Orton Jr. He says that Orton is making his GWF debut, but he’s no stranger to wrestling fans, he’s been around for a while, and has been a big star in just about every promotion he’s been a part of.
Now Orton’s here in the GWF, and Hudson expects that we’ll see big things from him.
MIKE MCGUIRK is in the ring, and she introduces the competitors for the next match of the evening.
BOB ORTON JR b. KOKO B WARE – Koko brings his long-time manager Frankie the Bird out to the ring with him! Koko gives Orton a tough match, but in the end, Orton hits a Brainbuster for the pinfall.
GARY HART walked out to ringside and watched most of the match. He seemed to like what he saw.

SCOTT HUDSON is joined at ringside by
GARY HART.
HART asks Bob Orton Jr to join them.
GARY then tells Orton that he likes what he saw from Orton in that match, and thinks that Bob would be a huge addition to the stable that he’s putting together. He then offers Orton a spot.
ORTON thinks it over for a second, and then shakes Hart’s hand, the the two men walk off together!
SCOTT says that Gary Hart wasn’t kidding when he said that he wanted to add the top names in wrestling to his stable. He’s already got Bobby Duncum Jr and Black Bart, and now he adds another second-generation star and one of the biggest names in wrestling, Bob Orton Jr!
HUDSON then sends us to comments from a rather unusual individual, the Global TV Champion, Raven.
RAVEN is sitting on the curb in an old looking, run-down neighbourhood.
RAVEN then talks about wrestlers like Dustin Rhodes and Konnan, and the way the fans go crazy over them. He says that guys like Rhodes and Konnan, they’re just like the football players in high school who would taunt and humiliate him. He says that while popularity is fleeting, his pain and anguish, his scars, are forever. Every time he looks at guys like Rhodes, Konnan or the Guerreros, it brings all the pain flooding back, but this time, they’re all going to experience his pain, they’re going to see what he went through. Quote the Raven, nevermore.
RAVEN stands up and walks off.MIKE MCGUIRK is in the ring, and she introduces the competitors for the next match of the evening.
GLOBAL TV TITLE MATCH
RAVEN b. RAY ODYSSEY – Raven makes short work of Odyssey, hitting him with a DDT for the pinfall.

BRUTUS “THE BARBER” BEEFCAKE!
BRUTUS comes out, and thanks Buddy for having him.
ROSE responds that the pleasure is all Beefcake’s.
BUDDY talks about Brutus’ career, and says that he’s made a name for himself by going around, cutting people’s hair!
BRUTUS ignores the jab, and says that he’s been in all the top promotions, all over North America, but the GWF is the big leagues, this is where it’s at!
BRUTUS looks Buddy over, and says that it looks like Rose could use a haircut himself, a little off the top, and a little off the sides, perhaps?
ROSE quickly backs away a few steps, and tells Brutus that if he even THINKS about touching this gorgeous mane of hair, he’ll be very, very sorry!
BRUTUS pulls out a pair of scissors, and moves towards Rose, but Buddy hightails it out of there, leaving Brutus alone on the set.
BRUTUS tells the fans that there’s going to be a lot of “struttin’ and cuttin’” going on in the GWF!

SCOTT HUDSON interviews
EDDY and
CHAVO GUERRERO JR at ringside.
EDDY talks about what happened on February 3, with Chavo getting attacked in the locker room, then Juvy and Psychosis painting a yellow streak down his back.
EDDY then challenges Juvy and Psychosis to meet him and Chavo Jr in a tag team match at California Clash . . . a COWARDS WAVE THE FLAG match! Both teams will have a second at ringside, and the only way to win is to get the other team’s second to wave a white flag of surrender!
CHAVO says that he wants to add a stipulation. Because of the humiliation he suffered when Juvy and Psychosis painted that streak down his back, he wants a stipulation added that the winning team gets to paint a yellow streak down the backs of both members of the losing team!
EDDY says that if Juvy and Psychosis have to guts to agree to this match, we’ll see who the real cowards are, when he and Chavo force Juvy and Psychosis to wave the flag!

As the ref is raising Bart’s arm,
TITO SANTANA comes down to the ring, and informs the ref that Bobby Duncum interfered!
BART and DUNCUM took exception to that, and they jumped Santana, giving him a beating on the arena floor, until Dustin Rhodes grabbed a nearby chair, and chased them off!
