2011 - WWE broadcast Smackdown. Richard Trionfo filed the following TV report:
We are live on tape from Spokane, Washington and your announcers are Josh ‘Ichiro’ Mathews, Booker ‘I wrestled at a Wrestlemania near here’ T, and Michael ‘I won my Wrestlemania Match’ Cole.
We start off with the World Champion Randy Orton making his way to the ring. Randy starts off by telling us who he is and he tells us that he is still the World Champion.
Before Orton can continue, he is interrupted by Christian’s music and Christian makes his way to the ring. Christian tells Randy that he doesn’t want to spoil his moment, but he wanted to tell Randy that Sunday’s match was one of the greatest of his career and he says that it probably was for Randy and he wanted to thank him.
Christian says that Randy deserves to be the World Champion.
Orton throws out the ‘but’ for Christian to make an excuse.
Christian says that the match could have gone either way, but Orton was the better man and he won on Sunday. Christian says that he knows that he can beat Randy. Christian wants one more match for a shot at the World Title. Christian says that a guy can ask.
Before Randy can give an answer, Sheamus makes his way out and he has something to tell to the fellas in the ring. Sheamus tells Christian that this is painful to watch. He wonders how many chances he will get. He compares Christian to a gambling addict who loses his car on a bet and then they double down with their house and they end up losing everything. Now Christian is begging and putting his kid’s college fund on the line for one more chance.
Sheamus reminds Christian that it took him seventeen years to win his first World Title. Sheamus tells Christian that he will have to wait seventeen years more because he became a two time loser on Sunday. Sheamus points out that he is a two time WWE Champion. He was drafted to Smackdown to face Randy Orton for the World Title. Sheamus says that he is the star of the show. He says that if anyone is going to be number one contender, it is going to be him.
Mark Henry wants to throw his two cents into the conversation. He tells Christian that his buddy Edge is on a retirement golf course waiting for Christian so he tells him not to miss his tee time. Mark tells Sheamus that being the World Strongest Man means that you don’t wait in lines. You butt in. Mark butts into the ring and he turns his attention to Randy. He says that he butted his way into the front of the line for that championship.
The Smackdown Entrance Music Album’s next track plays and Teddy Long comes out and he is going to restore order to the situation in the ring. Teddy tells the playas that there seems to be a little bit of déjà vu with everyone arguing about the World Title and who should be facing Randy Orton for it.
Teddy tells Christian that he agrees with Sheamus and Mark Henry and he says that Christian has had his opportunity. Teddy says that what matters is what the people say. Teddy tells Christian that since he made Christian defend the World Title right after winning by asking the fans, he wants to ask the fans if they think that Christian deserves one more shot at the title. Teddy says that the people have spoken and Christian will be in the mix, but he is not home free.
Christian will earn his title match opportunity so he will be part of a Triple Threat Match to find out who faces Randy Orton at the pay per view. It will be Sheamus versus Mark Henry versus Christian. Teddy hollas as he leaves the ring.

2012 - The Urban Wrestling Federation presented what, to date, was its final PPV - Turf War. Mike Johnson filed the following PPV report:
The Urban Wrestling Federation Turf War PPV opened up with Steve the Hustler (owner Steve Karel) calling someone on a "burner phone" because the "powers that be" were monitoring his regular phones. He told them to send the word out that he was going to be leaving town and laying low for awhile. The implication was that the authorities were onto him for something.
We see a hot woman walking down the street. She goes to enter a car and gets mugged. There's a mixture of camera footage and "security" footage to make the shot plausible.
We go back to Steve who tells the person on the phone to call the "shot callers" as it's "all on them". He said that they've brought all the heat down on him and the UWF because of what they have pulled. He said that he taught them how to make money "in the other racket" and now they thank him by bringing all this down on him with "all the sh** they pull in the street."
We go to footage of Ruckus and Grim Reefer (who represent Atlanta) from "three hour after Street King", which was the PPV where they crowned Rasche Brown the UWF champion. Of course, after he did that, he was shot and killed. Yes, he was. HOOD JUSTICE! They were talking about laying low and not knowing what they were going to do. Someone walked up to them and they implied that they were selling drugs on the corner.
Back to Karel, he was packing his things in a briefcase, including his phones, ID and a lot of money. He shook his head and walked out. So, the idea here is that Karle brought all these thugs into wrestling to make money for himself and their crews and all their thuggery (is that even a word?) and crimes on the street has led the head back to the UWF, so he's getting out of dodge.
We go into the opening montage for the UWF.
Uncle Murda met with the LEP Bogus Boys. Murda said he was surprised they were still walking around. They blew him off. Murda said he was here for the money. They basically told him they were here to handle business and he told them he liked their drive and to "let the best man win." When they left, Murda warned his girl not to tell anyone her name.
DJ Self and Sun met and agreed to work together.
We went to the ring. There was a voiceover from Shawn Credle noting that Steve The Hustler had settled the issues between Robby Mireno and Julius Smokes from the last PPV when Mireno attacked Smokes, upset about comments he made about "crackers". Obviously, this was to cover that the matches that were being shown were shot prior to that angle going down, but smart of UWF to offer some sort of explanation.
Rage and Riot (with Uncle Murda) vs. The Phat Pack (with LEP Bogus Boys)
The LEP Bogus Boys promised his team was going to kick their ass.
Rage started out with the Biggs. He nailed several right hands and chops, then went to an armbar, trying to wear the big man Biggs, as I will call him, backed Rage hard into the corner and choked away at him. He nailed a suplex. He picked Rage up and tagged in Big Baby Daddy, who is built, literally like Abdullah the Butcher. Immediately, he dropped the Abby elbow.
Rage fought back and nailed some STIFF chops but was taken down with a slap and chops to the back. Daddy poured water over Rage's back and chopped it. He whipped Rage into the corner and nailed a big running Avalanche. Biggs tagged in and drilled Rage, covering him for a two count.
Biggs locked in a sleeper and turned it into a choke. Rage fought to his feet but was shot back down. Biggs began nailing him with boxing combinations. Rage fired back with several rights and chops. Biggs raked his eyes. Rage was whipped into the corner but nailed Biggs with a elbow as he approached. Rage went to the top and nailed a dropkick.
Riot tagged in and brawled with Daddy. He nailed several hard clotheslines but Daddy wouldn't move. A third one took him down. Rage and Riot double-teamed Daddy with chops and clotheslines. Daddy shoved him away and nailed a rolling kick. That was pretty damn impressive.
Daddy began climbing the ropes but Riot nailed Biggs. Rage and Riot powerbombed Daddy off the ropes. They nailed Biggs with a double back suplex. Rage and Riot hugged and the Pack double splashed them. Biggs did the Randy Orton hanging DDT as Daddy splashed the back of Rage. That was damn scary.
Your winners, The Phat Pack!
It was better than I remembered live but nothing overly impressive. Daddy moves well for a guy his size.
Outside, Facade told Daemon Slugga that he was going to be leaving to join the Triple Cs and would be leaving Cuban Link. Slugga said none of the young guys know anything about loyalty. Facade said he needed to get paid and take what he could. Slugga shook his head disgusted and walked off, then turned around and attacked Facade, throwing him into some metal construction fencing. He told Facade to respect that and walked off, leaving him prone on the sidewalk.
The Phat Pack showed up after getting dressed. The LEP Bogus Boys gave them static for coming back so late and gave them a piece of paper. They sent the Pack out to handle something and told them not to come back without it.
We went back in time to "four hours" after Street King. As my old friend Rakeem would say, "This some Marty McFly sh**" people. Uncle Murda arrived to speak to Ruckus and Reefer. They said they were out of product and had no money and informed him that Rasche Brown had sold the UWF title. Brown told them he took money, sold the belt and was done. They pointed him in the direction Brown headed. Murda told them to sit tight because he'll go handle it.
Somewhere in the hood. Brisco and Billy Blue met up. Blue told Brisco to hand over the product. Brisco said he had the money. They started talking trash to each other. Brisco said it wasn't about money. He said let's do it double or nothing. Blue said that if they are doing that, they are going to do it his way.
Grimm Reefer vs. Daemon Slugga (with Cuban Link)
Slugga used his power early to try and intimidate Reefer. He worked him into the corner and peppered him with punches, then nailed a big hiptoss. He charged Reefer but missed and went to the outside. Reefer hit a dropkick through the ropes They exchanged chops on the outside. Reefer went for a move but Slugga grabbed his leg and nailed him into the apron.
Back in the ring, Slugga worked him over in the corner with running kicks, sending him to the outside. Slugga stalked him on the floor and whipped him into the railing. They went into the crowd briefly, Slugga brought Reefer back into the ring but was caught with a jawbreaker. Reefer came off the top with a dropkick for a two count. He went to the top but was kicked in the face as he came down with a splash.
Reefer locked Slugga in a Crippler Crossface but Slugga made his way to his feet and fell backwards. Reefer rolled over and held onto the move, even using Slugga's hair for leverage. He bodypressed Slugga for a two count. He went to the top but was kicked in the face Slugga used a TKO and scored the pin.
Your winner, Daemon Slugga!
Entertaining stuff.
We go back to Brisco and Blue. They are somewhere. They agreed it was going to be one on one and no interference. The Triple C's and UWF champ Slymm showed up and said they wanted in on "their little dog fight." Blue wanted to know how they knew about any of this. He said if they wanted in, they needed to put some money in.
Inside a limo, Cuban Link and Daemon Slugga were speaking to someone off camera.
The announcers said they were going to go to footage that Billy Blue and Brisco had set up of a rematch between Bestia and Masada, double or nothing. This was actually filmed at the SATs school in Brooklyn, NY.
Masada vs. Bestia - Underground Fight Club Brawl
The two crews were on opposite sides of the club.
Bestia went to nail him with a chair but was stopped and Masada began beating him with it. He chopped Bestia on the floor and whipped him into some guard rails. They brawled outside to the street. Bestia nailed him again and again as Masada dared him to nail him harder.
They brawled outside in the street with a chairs, Bestia threw it into his face. Bestia nailed him across the back and chopped at him. They battled back into the club, where Bestia nailed him with a piece of plaster that shattered. He used a jagged piece of it to carve up Masada's face, busting him open.
Masada slammed Bestia backwards into the turnbuckles and ripped at his face. He stabbed Bestia in the head with acupuncture needles, with them sticking to the top of his head.
