Here's the deal, I wrote this during the Summer then I pretty much gave up writing altogether - I didn't even finish it. The reason I'm posting it now is because I think it's one of my best shows ever and I at least wanted some opinions on it. It's set after Austin Aries and Bryan Danielson made their ROH returns. Hope you enjoy 6.5/8 matches.

EPIC Wrestling Alliance The Uprising
"American Dragon" Bryan Danielson is shown outside the venue of EWA's first show, the Manhattan Center of New York City, NY. It appears to be a busy day as there's lots of typical NYC traffic behind him.
Bryan Danielson: I'm standing just outside of the Manhattan Centre, a place I've come to know very well. I've retained titles here, and I've lost them. But tonight is the opposite. Same championship, different opponent, different promotion. Because tonight I go up against you, Morishima. When I was out with my shoulder injury, I had to sit back and watch you with what used to be my title - and still should be. I saw you come to Ring of Honor as a monster and dominate everyone and take the title. I saw you disrespecting the most prestigious belt in the world by biting it as if it's a chicken wing and that sickens me. But I'm going to change all that as I once again become the ROH World Champion and regain my status as the best...wrestler...in the world.
Bryan Danielson walks away from the camera and enters through the front door of the building. The screen blanks out.
A video package plays with the music of "What I've Done" by Linkin Park.

It shows various independent wrestlers and their respective promotions, especially the ones who will be competing tonight; Takeshi Morishima, Bryan Danielson, Homicide, Nigel McGuinness and more.

TONIGHT Is Going To Be EPIC
We cut down to the inside of the Manhattan Center, which is jam-packed with fans waiting to start the action. Jeremy Borash is standing in the ring with a microphone, he is able to appear here because he does not have an official TNA contract. The lights start to fade out. "Running With The Devil" by Van Halen plays and the fans all get up to their feet. Davey Richards makes his way through the curtain.

Then tonight after we beat yo' asses we gon' be one step closer to becoming EWA United Champs.

You're opponent tonight is Bryan Danielson- Fans: (Loud Cheers) Jeremy Borash: -but what is it like when preparing for such a huge match without knowing who your opponent is? I mean, at first you thought it was Samoa Joe, then it was Austin Aries, and now it's "The American Dragon" Bryan Danielson. Your thoughts?
Before Takeshi Morishima can open his mouth though, the lights dim down as Europe's "Final Countdown" hits!
Fans: (Very Loud Cheers)
"American Dragon" Bryan Danielson eventually emerges through the curtain. You can only see a silhouette of him as he's covered by blinding light effects and smoke. He walks through it as the crowd go nuts for him! He's wearing his normal wrestling gear but somehow he doesn't look right without the ROH Championship around his waist. He walks toward the ring then climbs onto the apron while Takeshi Morishima looks on in confusion as to what's happening.
I guess there is no one to blame
Were leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again?
It's the-
Bryan Danielson climbs the turnbuckles and points upwards to the ceiling.
Fans: FINAL COUNTDOWN!!!
He steps onto the top turnbuckle and looks up at all the fans in the balconies then steps down into the ring. Bryan Danielson takes the microphone away from Jeremy Borash and turns toward Takeshi Morishima.
Bryan Danielson: Who do you think you are? When I told you to keep my belt warm, I didn't expect you to be keeping it for so long! Fans: Ohhh... Bryan Danielson: I let Homicide borrow it for a couple of months while I'm away...with a terrible...career-ending injury...then when I come back, either Homicide's turned into a squinty-eyed gorilla or some Japanese penguin's stolen my title! Fans: OHHH... Bryan Danielson: I mean, did you seriously think that someone like you could even hold a candle to the Best...Wrestler...In the World? The way I see it, you don't even deserve to hold that belt. If you think about people who put everything on the line for and sacrificing their lives for ROH - guys like BJ Whitmer, The Briscoes, guys like Nigel McGuinness who I've been in the ring with and know how badly he wants to just touch that title. Yet you, Morishima, just waltz right in and almost instantly given the championship. You don't know what it symbolizes. What it symbolizes to the wrestlers and what it symbolizes to me...is more than you will ever understand! Fans: (Claps) ROH! ROH! ROH!
Takeshi Morishima suddenly grabs the mic away and starts yelling at his opponent tonight in Japanese. He may not know what Danielson said, but he knows when he's being insulted.
Jeremy Borash: Ummm...Mr. Danielson, I don't think you should try to enrage Morishima any further as you appear to have upset him. Bryan Danielson: I don't care! It doesn't matter how big you are. It doesn't matter how powerful you can get. What matters is that tonight I will regain my title and become the first ever two-time ROH World Champion!
Danielson drops the mic and him and Morishima square up to each other, face-to-face nose-to-nose. Just staring at the other, angrily. Morishima suddenly shoves the American Dragon and he responds with a bitchslap across the cheek!
Fans: (Loud Cheers)
Takeshi Morishima removes his ROH World Championship belt from his waist as he and Bryan Danielson descend into a brawl! They trade punches and forearms to each other, much to the delight of the crowd as they go at it right in the middle of the ring! They don't even want to wait for the match tonight. Morishima manages to back Danielson into the corner and delivers some very stiff-looking punches to the side of the head! Danielson fights back with a Headbutt straight into the nose! They continue fighting each other but security floods the ring and seperates them!!!
Fans: Booo!!!
Both men get held apart from opposite sides of the ring, Morishima screaming at Danielson whilst trying to get the security out his way! Danielson eventually calms down and is let go but Morishima gets removed from the ring and escorted backstage. American Dragon climbs the turnbuckles and looks on at his opponent for tonight.
A commercial is shown for the next EPIC Wrestling Alliance event which will take place in a couple months, also in the Manhattan Centre. The show hasn't been named yet but some of the talent you will see are: Bryan Danielson, Davey Richards, Takeshi Morishima, Jimmy Jacobs, Homicide and The Kings of Wrestling - Chris Hero & Claudio Castagnoli.
We go back to the ring, which is now empty except for Jeremy Borash. The lights dim down and "House of the Rising Sun" by The Animals play. The crowd immediately start booing as they know who's about to arrive. Jimmy Rave walks out through the curtain.
Fans: BOOO!
Jeremy Borash: Making his way to the ring, from Atlanta, Georgia. Weighing in at 200lbs. JIMMY RAVE!!!
He ignores all the people in the crowd as if he's better than all of them and walks down to the ring. Jimmy Rave crawls onto the apron and sneers at the jeering fans then steps into the ring. You'd expect toilet paper to be thrown at him by this point but by Rave's request, it's been banned from the arena. Delirious' music suddenly hits and the boos turn into cheers automatically. Delirious crawls on his knees through the curtain, wearing his mask with the long tassels on.
Fans: (Cheers)
Delirious jumps up onto his feet and runs wildly to the ring in all directions, tagging the fans along the way.
Jeremy Borash: And his opponent, from the Edge of Sanity! DELIRIOUS!!!
He runs around the ring several times, shouting incoherently before hopping onto the apron. Delirious tries to climb inside but Jimmy Rave goes on the attack straight away!
Jimmy Rave vs Delirious
Ding x3
Jimmy Rave stomps on the back of Delirious, not letting him get away. He pulls him up to his feet and hits him with several right hands to the face. Rave tears one of the tassels off Delirious' mask and starts choking him with it!

Delirious: Aseemasimkaly oh kasiggramwent, bitch!
Fans: (Laughs)
Jimmy Rave runs towards him but Delirious drops down from the apron and crawls underneath the ring! What's he doing now? Rave rolls out the ring and searches for Delirious under the apron but he's not there. While he's looking, Delirious pops up from the other side of the ring and sneaks up to Rave. He climbs onto the apron and awaits him to look up. Delirious runs across the apron and does a Somersault onto Rave!!!
Fans: Ohhh! (Cheers)
Delirious and Jimmy Rave both go crashing down onto the inch-thick mat below! Delirious gets up as the crowd loudly cheer for him. He tags all the fans at ringside and takes someone's hat without them realising. Delirious throws the hat at Rave! He yells some more of his nonsense to the fans before pulling Rave back to his feet. Delirious delivers a hard chop across the chest, followed by a Headbutt! He suddenly grabs a fan and goes for another Headbutt but he stops in mid-move as he and the fan laugh. Delirious wipes his sweaty hand across the guy's face and goes back to Rave. He slides him back into the ring and then hops on the apron. He steps inside and then runs toward him. Spear by Rave outta nowhere!!!

Fans: Fuck You Jimmy! (Claps) Fuck You Jimmy! (Claps)
He goes back to Delirious by hitting him with a hard punch to the side of the head. Jimmy Rave backs then backs him up against the guardrail and starts strangling him again with the tassels of the mask!

He goes for another kick but Delirious fights back with a Headbutt to the gut! Rave tries to continue the offense but Delirious keeps going with the Headbutts!

Jimmy Rave comes out of the corner and grabs Delirious from behind. He hooks the neck and connects with a Reverse Suplex!

Davey Richards: And I am already well underway to becoming the EWA Gravity Zero Champ. As you can see, tonight I'm proving that I can work twice as hard as everyone else in order to win two different pieces of gold. PAC may have given it his all...but he was no match for The No Remorse Corps.
Roderick: As for Austin Aries, we don't care about your so-called "wrestling freedom" and we don't want anything to do with you! Me and Davey finally found a place without you that wasn't in Orlando, and if we see you around these lockerrooms believe me, there will be...no remorse.

Homicide: Ahem...
Lacey: What?!
Homicide: Oh...yo, I'm sorry. I just thought dis was my interview, not some white girl yellin' at emo couples.
Lacey: Look, this doesn't concern you so why don't you get the hell away from me, while the three of us talk business. I think you have some sort of problem with interrupting people!
Homicide: I don't give a fuck what-chu think! This is my time, not yours so come back when yo' down on yo' knees with yo' mouth open!
Jimmy Jacobs: HEY! You don't talk to her like that! If you got a problem, you go through me!
Lacey: Jimmy, it's ok-
Jimmy: No. No one should disrespect you that way, not even this common street thug!
