Fireworks explode in the Staples Centre as the beginning of Origins is signalled. The camera goes over to the two commentators, Mike Tenay and his broadcast partner, NAICW General Manager and owner, Paul Heyman. Both look excited at the prospect of the history that will soon be made this very evening.
Mike Tenay:
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to NAICW Origins, the first of what will surely be many of fantastic monthly Pay-Per-Views. Paul, if theres one thing I believe in, its start as you mean to go on.
Paul Heyman:
You got that right, Professor. Tonight we will have everything you could possibly want in a Pay-Per-View. But firstly, we have NAICWs first ever Pay-Per-View match - a man many claim to be the best pure wrestler in the world, Bryan Danielson, takes on the returning Worlds Most Dangerous Man Ken Shamrock in Round One of the tournament to name the NAICW World Heavyweight Champion. Ladies and gentlemen, enjoy!
Match 1:
World Title Tournament
Round 1, Match 1
Bryan Danielson vs. Ken Shamrock
These two took each other to the absolute limit in what would soon prove to be a classic. Their similar, yet strangely different styles surprisingly worked well together to create a hard-fought, back-and-forth match. Danielson was able to shake off many of Shamrocks hard strikes, and managed to turn the match into a mat-based contest, where, naturally, he dominated. Shamrock, however, managed to keep in it with a few shocking reversals. Currently, he has Danielson in the Ankle Lock, one of his signature manoeuvres. Danielson is trying to conceal the extreme pain he is being subjected too, but cannot merely just grin and bear it as he roars with pain. He manages push up with his own body weight, forcing Shamrock to his feet, before rolling under himself, sending Shamrock into the turnbuckle. The American Dragon stalks behind his stumbling prey on just one functional leg, before throwing whatever force he has left behind a vicious German Suplex, halting in a pin with a bridge. Shamrocks body is completely limp, and it appears as if he is completely unconscious from the brutal punishment his head has received in this match. Because of this, he is unable to kick out, leading to a sweat-drenched Danielson standing over him, the crowd humming along to the victorious notes of The Final Countdown.
Bryan Danielson wins via pinfall and proceeds onto Round 2 at NAICWs second PPV, Best Of The Best.
Match 2:
World Title Tournament
Round 1, Match 2
Mike Awesome vs. Homicide
Many may have thought that the relatively small Homicide would have trouble keeping in this one, that he may be tossed around by the larger, more powerful, more ferocious Awesome. This wasnt the case as Homicide used his high-flying and mat-based skills to keep his opponents power in check. In fact, he even managed to successfully bust Awesome open after an incredible number of collisions with the ring post, but had the same done to him. As the match begins to come to an end, both wrestlers are stumbling to their feet, both looking at each other in How are you still standing!? amazement. Homicide uses his superior speed to rush over to Awesome and attempt to keep him down with a number of straight strikes, which the referee rightfully warns him about. Out of nowhere, Awesome hits Homicide with a thunderous clothesline before making his way to the outside and bringing in the steel steps. He gets Homicide in position and signals for the Awesome bomb, which the referee tries to dissuade, warning that it will end in a disqualification. It matters not, however, as Awesome is suddenly subject to a low blow. Amazingly, Homicide hooks his opponent up in the Gringo Killah, and slams him down on the steel steps. Awesome drops like a fly and remains motionless on the canvas as Homicide celebrates a supposed victory. The referee frantically calls for the bell as paramedics begin to come to Awesomes aid.
Mike Awesome wins via disqualification and proceeds onto Round 2.
Match 3:
World Title Tournament
Round 1, Match 3
Jeff Jarrett vs. Kurt Angle
A fairly by-the-numbers crowd pleaser, featuring much back and forth action, but with Angle impressing overall. Surprisingly, it has been Jarrett using the good majority of underhand tactics, something that both wrestlers are specialised in. Angle has pleased the crowd mostly with his technical skills and one incident involving sixteen German suplexes in a row, although Jarrett has pulled out a fair few surprised, not all of them being illegal. As we join them Jarrett is in the centere of the ring screaming for his life as Angle applies the ankle lock. For the second time during the night, however, he manages to roll underneath his own body, sending Angle into the corner before stumbling backwards looking dumbfounded. Jarrett grabs him and looks to hit the stroke, but Angle slide out of backwards and hits a successful Angle slam, proceeding a well-deserved three count. After the match, both wrestlers shake hands and hug, celebrating the great show theyve just put on. The forever untrustworthy Jarrett, however, has a surprise for the Olympic Hero in the form of a guitar, and ultimately leaves the supposed victor in a pile of splintered wood.
Kurt Angle wins via pinfall and proceeds onto Round 2.
Match 4:
Last Man Standing
Nigel McGuinness vs. Abyss
A surprisingly well-worked match, with a good mixture of pure and hardcore wrestling. McGuinness took much of the punishment in this match, but refused to stay down and often gave Abyss back what hed dished out. Drawing to the end, McGuinness has the monster on the back foot, bouncing backwards and forwards from the ropes, attempting to take his opponent down with lariats. So far, despite being bloodied and battered, Abyss sheer sense of will hasnt allowed him to drop to the floor. He has, however, backed up so he is just in front of a pile of glass and tacks as McGuinness charges forward with a powerful lariat waiting. Suddenly, Abyss catches him in a Black Hole slam, but McGuinness, instead if being slammed into the mixture, manages to land on his feet and low blows the monster before grabbing a nearby chair and handing it to him. Thinking little about his own wellbeing, he runs forward and meets the chair with a head butt, sending Abyss into the tacks and glass, but Nigel onto the clear canvas beside him. The referee begins to count. As the count approaches 9, both begin to stir. Abyss is not up as the count hits ten, but McGuinness has managed to roll to the outside and stay on his feet for the second necessary before collapsing, exhausted.
Nigel McGuinness wins and will receive a special reward from Paul Heyman for his efforts.
Match 5:
World Title Tournament
Round 1, Match 4
The Rock vs. The Undertaker
This match of epic, legendary proportions received a standing ovation nearly throughout, and deservedly so. For what it lacked in scientific wrestling, it made up for in dramatics and ring psychology. Despite having it all on the line, and hitting their opponent with all they had, both treated each other with respect and played along with the rules, much to the crowds joy. The crowd is wired more than ever as Taker looks to choke slam Rock, but the latter elbows his way out of it and bounces against the ropes, only to be twisted into position for a tombstone piledriver. The Rock reverses it and hits a tombstone of his own, before signaling for the peoples elbow. Just before delivery, the Undertaker sits up, but Rock kicks him back down and delivers the elbow. Amazingly, its only good for the longest two in history. The Rock raises Taker to his feet but is caught by the throat and tossed to the floor with a vicious choke slam. The Undertaker puts the Rock in pinning position, but again it is only good for a long two. Taker raises Rock his feet, as the announcer announces there is one minute remaining. Taker begins to strike at The Rock, but the Rock hooks and delivers the rock bottom out of nowhere. One

thr-- Taker kicks out! Rock pulls him to his feet but receives a sudden kick to the gut. The Undertaker uses all he has left to deliver a devastating last ride. One

The time limit has expired! As a result, both competitors advance into the next round.
Draw via time-out, both proceed onto Round 2.
Match 6:
Tag Team Title Match
The British Bulldogs vs. AJ Styles & Austin Aries vs. Harlem Heat
A crowded match, to say the least. Each team used their unique kind of athleticism to gain the upper hand at one time or another. Styles and Aries inexperience as a team cost them at times, but their natural skill and competitiveness helped them to keep their heads above water. Harlem Heat foolishly focused most of their time on the Bulldogs, and were held off by their stubbornness and unwillingness to give in, leaving themselves susceptible to the high-impact, speed-based moves of this matchs odd couple. Currently, Davey Boy Smith has his hands full with both members of Harlem Heat on the outside as Austin Aries is behind a recovering AJ Styles and the Dynamite Kid prepares to launch an airborne attack against Booker and Stevie. Aries tries to lift AJ to his feet but clearly he has surprised his partner as he soon plays victim to a pele kick. Styles holds his head in regret but manages to think quickly, taking down the Kid on the corner and flinging himself over the ropes with a shooting Styles press, taking out three quarters of his opponents in one movement. Despite thinking things through quickly, it appears he didnt think them through very well, as Billington is suddenly on his feet, delivering a flying head butt. The Brit covers for the three, and the two defeated teams stumble off, arguing with each other, as The British Bulldogs celebrate their victory in the ring.
The British Bulldogs win via pinfall and become the first ever NAICW Heavyweight Tag Team Champions.
Match 7:
Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match
Edge vs. Christian Cage
In this match, the opponents, despite being brothers and former tag team partners, showed each other absolutely no respect. Then again, this is a TLC match, where you are expected to take every advantage available, its sink or swim. Amazingly, both have managed to get up from ladder and chair strikes, and being put through tables in order to prevent from winning the briefcase (which contains a mystery prize) at the top of the ladder. The debris surrounding the ring as the two climb separate ladders is truly astounding. Both are dripping with sweat, blood and - quite probably - tears of anger and frustration. Finally, they make it the top of their respective ladder and begin striking each other. Christian manages to subdue Edge momentarily by slamming his already battered head on the top of his ladder, but is still prevented from winning the match by his brother. The two shove each other ladders aside, but both manage to keep their balance on the ropes, pushing themselves back upright. Christian, however, has grabbed a steel chair that was tangled in the ropes and, as the rises, he manages to catch Edges head between it and the ladder. Edge loses balance and topples over the ropes and onto a ladder topping a wooden table, which collapses immediately. Cage grabs the briefcase and is victorious. After the match, the brothers are seen helping each other to the back, seemingly having earned mutual respect.
Christian Cage wins by capturing the briefcase and is entitled to the mystery prize inside it.
Main Event:
Pure Title, 60 Minute Ultimate Submission Match
Taz vs. Low Ki
These two warriors showed no mercy in this match, doing all they could to cause the utmost damage on their opponents. Low Ki managed to avoid the tazmission for a while, but was still battered by the wide array of suplexes Taz had up his sleeves, or lack thereof. Not that Low Ki was dominated, far from it, he had given as much as he had taken, perhaps more so, and Tazs toughness had definitely been seriously dented by Kis wide array of kicks and strikes. Ultimately, he had failed to do what he did best, keep his opponent grounded, and he was punished heavily for it. Finally, as the clock begins to tick down to sixty minutes and neither man has scored any points, Taz locks in the tazmission. Ki begins screaming, but refuses to tap for a number of minutes, despite being almost completely spent. He manages to continually head butt Taz with the back of his head, sending him stumbling backwards. Using his incredible athleticism, he climbs ontop of Taz and locks in the head scissors arm bar. Despite being in clearly excruciating pain, Taz remains standing. It is almost two minutes before he falls to his knees, and it appears as if he is about to black out. With one final rush of energy he manages to toss Low Ki off an over the ropes, slowly following him to the outside. The two exchange strikes on the outside, but Low Ki sends Taz to the floor with a rolling kick, before climbing the the top rope back on the inside. To everyones amazement, he shoots off at Taz with an incredible phoenix splash. Several moments later, Ki slides Taz into the ring and begins to deliver chop after chop after chop in the corner, before setting Taz up on the top of the ring post. He backs into the other corner before cart wheeling into the corner and delivering a high kick. The human suplex machine drops and lands awkwardly on his head. The referee runs over and checks on him, before calling for the bell. Quickly, he speaks to the announcer, who declares, as a result of knock out, the winner, and new NAICW Pure Champion, LOW! KIII!. Low Ki celebrates with the belt as everyone in the arena, including Paul Heyman and Mike Tenay, get to their feet and applaud.
Low Ki wins via knock out and becomes the first ever NAICW Pure Champion.

Hot damn, I'm Mrs. Sam!!
