Jennie Finch: "Coming to you from the SMW studios, I'm Jennie Finch and I will be joined by Dan Wilson. We are getting ready for the SMW Future of Wrestling tournament. But first, let's send it to Dan Wilson for the first of two exclusive matches taped earlier today."
Lance and Rip Cade vs. Lenny Lane and Paul Diamond
The new tag team of Rip and Lance Cade could not decide who would start the match. Once Luscious Lenny Lane turned his back, Rip and Lance both attacked him from behind and then stomped away at him. Rip slammed him to the mat as Lance Cade sucker punched Paul Diamond off the apron. Rip held onto Lenny Lane for a Lance Cade punch but Lenny ducked and Lance Cade nailed his own partner. Next, Lane tagged Paul Diamond and the SMW trainer took on both men as Lenny Lane recovered. However, Lance would not recover in time as Lance and Rip both hit Diamond with their version of the superkick, Lance's hit Diamond squarely in the jaw and Rip's landed in the stomach area. They got the pin and the victory.
Dan Wilson: Jennie, I was there live for that match and all I can say is that Rip and Lance might not be the two best wrestlers but they make a great team. Look out Future Foundation."
Finch: "Speaking of the future, lets take a look at one of the competitors in the Future of Wrestling tournament, Keiji Sakoda."

Dan Wilson: "Our next big event is right around the corner."
Finch: "That's right Dan. The Future of Wrestling tournament will recognize the very best young talent in our sport today. Lets run down the first round matches."
Wilson: "The SMW champion Loki will take on Guido Maritato. Also, Keiji Sakoda will face Sensational Shannon Moore."
Finch: "Those two matches alone could steal the show but there is more. Michael Modest returns from Japan to take on The Solution Steve Bradley and Christopher Daniels battles it out with "The Real Deal" Damian Steele."
Damian Steele(entering the studio): "Whoa, whoa, whoa, Jennie. Sure I am the Real Deal. Sure I've proven that I am the only one around here that is Vicious and Malicious. But Damian Steele is more. I am "Simply Delicious" Damian Steele. At the Future of Wresting tournament I will emerge as the best wrestler in the world and Jennie, I'm personally inviting you to find out why I'm called Simply Delicious!"
Wilson: "Oh come on! Don't we have a video we can go to or something."
Finch: "Lets take a look at Guido Maritato."
A video package is shown highlighting "The Sicilian Shooter" Guido Maritato.
Dan Wilson: "Ummmm...Jennie, what's that in your hand?"
Finch: "Nothing."
Wilson: "It's Steele's number isn't it?"
Finch grins and looks embarrassed.
Wilson: "This is why I work alone!"
A video is shown chronicling the battle between Shannon Moore and The Fallen Angel Christopher Daniels.
Jennie Finch: "Dan, there have been rumors that SMW is going on a road trip. Well, I know where we are going!"
Wilson: "Is it Mars?"
Finch: "Nope."
Wilson: "The Astrodome?"
Finch: "No, but we are going to be near a baseball field. SMW is proud to announce that on March 31, our stars will help open The Great American Ball Park in Cincinnati, Ohio. We will set up the ring in the parking area and after the game, everyone is welcome to check us out!"
Michael Modest: "SMW Future of Wrestling. You're looking at the future right here. I'm coming back to SMW after a successful tour of Japan and I guarantee I will make an impact."
Jennie Finch: "Dan, it's time for our main event. The title is on the line. You were there, tell us what happened."
Wilson: "No way Jennie, just watch and enjoy. And don't forget to tune in to the SMW Future of Wrestling tournament."
SMW Title Match
Loki vs. The Solution Steve Bradley
The match began with Steve Bradley tying up with the champion and scooping him up and slamming him to the mat. Loki immediately spun around and used a leg sweep to take Bradley down. The Solution countered with yet another devastating move, the back breaker. He then went for a suplex but Loki blocked it and landed a series of stiff kicks. Bradley fell to the mat like his legs were cut off but the champion lifted him back up and chopped him into the corner. Steve Bradley fought back by punching Loki to the gut and legdropping him Rocker Dropper style. From his back, Loki continued to kick Bradley. Bradley finally tied Loki up in a rings of Saturn. Loki refused to submit despite being in a devastating hold for two and a half minutes. Steve Bradley was frustrated and let go of the hold. He tried for a deathvalley driver but Loki held on to the Solution's neck and DDT'd him. He went for the pin but Bradley kicked out. Loki placed Bradley in the corner for the somersault spin kick. He went for it but Bradley caught him out of nowhere and hoisted Loki onto his shoulders and sent him crashing down with a Death Valley Driver. The Solution covered the champion and the referee counted 1, 2, 3.
Dan Wilson: "We have a new champion! Steve Bradley just beat Loki! I believe that makes him the favorite in the Future of Wrestling tournament! Fans, tune in to find out what happens at the Future of Wrestling tournament"!
