SAM HEWITT
From the gateway to the west! St. Louis, Missouri! Hello wrestling fans, my name is Sam Hewitt and I'm flying solo this evening on this special edition of All Star Wrestling brought to you by Lion's Road and the National Wrestling Federation. In lieu of live matches, we are going to take a trip into the time machine and show you the finals of some of our tournaments from year's past. First on tap is a match from 2016 featuring a young Matt Pulver battling the veteran Robb Daniels. The second match on our program will see what started the contention and discord between AJ Knight and Justin Seville - the Triangle Survival from 2017 where those two battled World's Champion Julian Cutlass. The third and final match will serve as a preview for October 26th's big World's title bout between AJ Knight and David Troy as we will see their encounter from 2018 Laurentide Cup finals. We're also going to hear from some of the competitors in the Summit between those matches, so without further adieu....
The lights go down as the championship music begins to play.
JAKE AARONS: It is for the vacant KOL, King of the Lions Championship and is to be fought over no time limit as there must be a winner! Pinfall, submission or knockout will decide the winner!
The instrumental of Nelly’s “Heart of a Champion” begins playing as the mouth of the giant lion head opens up. As the beat kicks in, Matt Pulver steps out onto the runway for the second time tonight, checking his wrists and warming up a bit. He focuses on the ring and calmly saunters down the runway with determined steps. Once he reaches the ring, he quickly steps through the ropes and raises an arm. He removes his official PULVERIZER t-shirt and falls back into his assigned corner, rolling his wrists and checking his ropes before stretching his legs as...
AS I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEY OF THE SHADOW OF DEATH
"Gangster's Paradise" by Coolio begins to play and the lights abruptly shut off while the music continues to play. Plenty of camera flashes begin lighting up the lion head on stage before the mouth roars open and Robb Daniels emerges. Daniels' confident strut down the runway says it all, he reaches the ring and wipes his feet before stepping through the ropes. Daniels circles around the ring before climbing onto the middle rope and looking out to the crowd before looking at Matt Pulver in the adjacant corner. He hops down and waits for the official introductions.
JAKE AARONS:
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the final match in the Quest for the Crown. Introducing first from Knoxville, Tenneesee by way of Lexington, Kentucky. He weighs in tonight at two hundred thirty five pounds and earned his way into the match by defeating Keith Skyfire and Flynn Buck in the earlier Triangle Survival. He is... ROBB DANIELS!
Daniels steps forward to a large chorus of boos.
JAKE AARONS:
His opponent from Leksand, Sweden by way of Tokyo, Japan. He weighs in tonight at one hundred and seventy five pounds and earned his way into the match by defeating Blake Mitchell and Kelsey Spencer in the earlier Triangle Survival. He is... MATT PULVER!
Pulver raises his arms and smiles as the fans come alive with cheers and chants for him.
JAKE AARONS:
Your referee for this bout is Cordell Garner!
Garner acknowledges the fan response to his name and asks both men if they're ready to go as Aarons exits the ring. The bell sounds to start our first ever championship contest in Lion's Road and Robb Daniels wastes no time chasing Matt Pulver down and backing him into the corner turnbuckles. Referee Cordell Garner calls for a clean break, and Daniels backs off at three like he's going to but instead knife edge chops Pulver's chest!

MANDEVILLE NELSON:
