2020.06.05: PWN - GGW - 2020 Prospect Wrestling Classic Tournament

Intro

“Money (Instrumental)” by Pink Floyd plays as the packed Golden Gate Arena in San Francisco, California is alive and electric tonight. The crowd, normally very hostile to IC3 is quick to welcome him back for the first GGW branded event in 5 years as the owner of Golden Gate Wrestling and the President of the Prospect Wrestling Network makes his way to the ring.

Julian Masterson: Ladies and gentlemen please welcome Isaac Cornelius The third.... I....C.....3!

GGW's resident Ring Announcer and Janitor's booming voice echos over the PA system as IC3 makes his way down the ramp to the ring. Inside the ring there appears to be an object sitting on a table covered with a velvet covering over it. IC3 doesn't interact with the fans like he did recently in Maine, keeping his distance as he walks with a purpose to the ring. He walks up the steps as Masterson assists him inside the ring, sitting on the middle rope for him before handing off the microphone.

IC3: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the LIVE PREMIERE of Golden Gate Wrestling on the Prospect Wrestling Network!

The crowd cheers as IC3 gives them a moment to make a bit of noise before continuing.

IC3: I'm going to keep this short and sweet because we have a very busy night here tonight. But over a year ago I had a vision, a vision for a wrestling network for the fans, to provide content at the low, low price of $4.99 a month. I felt that wrestling fans needed a product that provided First Class entertainment in a First Class streaming platform and if you don't see what you want out there in the world? Sometimes you have to roll up your sleeves and create it yourself, you know? Sometimes you need to take action and put your money where your mouth is. One year later, after a lot of deals being made and a lot of ink drying on contracts, we're here, we're finally here. We're here in the great Golden State of California!

The crowd cheers again as IC3 waits for them to finish.

IC3: Just a week ago, I made an announcement that would bring LONE over to Prospect, to California and low and behold? The very same crooked little Maine Mayor that I called out for letting their city rot and decay, the same little crooked Maine Mayor that saw businesses leave in a mass exodus finally decided to try to do something about it! When I pulled the plug on LONE, their last big source of economic revenue to the region? That little Maine Mayor finally woke up from their little 3 year siesta down in Miami. That little Mayor finally realized that economic activity is dead! But make no mistake, that announcement was no bluff. When that little Mayor wouldn't work something out for the mutual benefit of everyone? I made my move, and just because that little Maine Mayor sees that I was serious now doesn't change a thing. LONE will no longer be known as the Ladies of New England because New England has been cut off!

But we'll be keeping the letters, it'll still be known as LONE but you'll have to tune into this month's edition to find out what those four letters now stand for. Now why am I taking time to speak about that little debacle? Because the Prospect Wrestling Network is finally whole! While we will be continuing to update old and new content alike, all of the promotions under our umbrella are now aligned! Golden Gate Wrestling will run events once again periodically and in addition, events that have not yet ran for promotions yet to be introduced, they will be debuting in the coming weeks and months. And while I can't speak too much publicly right now, I don't want to steal the thunder of those fine and classy promotions, tonight will be the beginning of a new tradition. Tonight will usher in the inaugural Prospect Classic Cup! There will be a few surprises, but the Prospect Classic Cup will be an 8 person tournament that runs yearly on a rotational basis on the promotions within the Prospect Wrestling Network family; open to ALL members and promotions of the Prospect Wrestling Network family and occasionally free agents as well! LONE will be represented here tonight by Alison Crowne and Sister Catherine, Golden Gate Wrestling will also be represented by the well traveled veteran Billy Stilwell and up and coming rookie “The Wolf” Mark Briggs, two men that have recently signed!

The crowd cheers, excited about the tournament and the announcement of some big time names.

IC3: And tonight the Prospect Wrestling Network will get a taste of one of our promotions in Japan, as SAKURA PRO, the women's, or joshi, promotion based out of Japan will be represented by “Deadshot” Emily Emmett! SAKURA PRO seeks to set the bar high over in Japan and Ms. Emmett is part of the first graduating class of the SAKURA PRO Wrestling Dojo, trained by the great Japanese puroresu legend, Sojiro Yukimura! The winner of this 8 person tournament will win this!

IC3 removes the cloth as a nice, polished and silver trophy cup stood on full display and glimmered in the light.

IC3: Not only will their names go down in history but they will bring prestige and class to their home promotion as well as raise their own profile. So to the 8 fine men and women competing here tonight; go out and win with class!
