NAWA Night of the Rogues 2005
Pryo goes off as we are live and in living color for another night of NAWA Pay Per View Action. Seven explosive matches and three championships on the line! Tonight we begin the road to WrestleClash IV on August 14th 2005 only on Pay Per View, with Night of the Rogues 2005. Let's not waste any time and get straight down to the ring for action on Pay Per View.
"Blaze of Glory" by Bon Jovi plays and the crowd cheers out comes Teddy Hart. It is amazing how Teddy Hart has gone from one of the most hated competitors in the New Age Wrestling Alliance to one of the most beloved over the past few months. He has a never say die attitude that is admirable and that is the type of attitude he'll need to face off against Samoa Joe tonight at Night of the Rogues. Joe has never tasted defeat, not even once, but he did fail to beat Teddy Hart at Gold Rush when both men went to a twenty minute time limit. Hart has proven that he could go the distance against Samoa Joe and tonight there will be no time limit. We'll see if Hart can do more than outlast Joe's punishment, in beating him, adding the first blemish to his spotless NAWA record tonight on Pay Per View.

Backstage:
Larry Sweeney and Tony Mamaluke are crowded behind the monitor, after watching the last match.
Mamaluke: Pathetic, Teddy Hart falls flat on his face once again, just like when I defeated him last year at WrestleClash III.
Sweeney: Well one thing that's not going to be pathetic is your performance tonight, when you go into the ring for the six way elimination match, champion. Just picture this, your name up on the marquee in lights, the NAWA World Champion and International Champion, Tony Mamaluke. We have two more steps on the road, tonight after you defeat five other competitors tonight, you'll go onto WrestleClash IV and face whoever the NAWA World Champion is.
Mamaluke: That's right, Lynn, Punk, Raven, Steiner, and yes, even Waterman, all of them may be good but they aren't Tony Mamaluke. And they don't have the most brilliant mind of wrestling in their corner. I will win this match and I will become the NAWA World Champion. I've been here since day one and I won't be held back any longer.
Sweeney: That's the spirit, champion. You will show why you are the greatest in the world, better than anyone else in this promotion and in the world.
We fade out with Mamaluke looking pumped up. Whether or not he will win tonight remains to be seen, but it should be obvious that one Larry Sweeney has a gameplan.

Raven is sitting backstage, leaning against a wall of an empty, darkened room before he looks up.
Raven: Championship glory. The greed that the quest for the gold brings. Tonight, I step into the ring with five other men, five top athletes in the New Age Wrestling Alliance. Jerry Lynn, Scott Steiner, Ron Waterman, Tony Mamaluke, and last, but certainly not least, CM Punk. Five men, with a goal that they share with me, the NAWA World Championship. A championship title shot at the biggest Pay Per View of the year, WrestleClash IV, a show that I have main evented the past two years. A show that I will main event one more time. I will outlast my five other opponents tonight and head to WrestleClash IV to achieve my destiny for a third time. I was the first person to hold the gold twice and I will achieve another milestone, holding the NAWA World Championship for a record setting third time. The Championship Gold is coming back to where it belongs, around my waist. So it is written, so it shall come to pass. Quoth the Raven, nevermore.
We slowly fade out, after hearing words from one of the competitors in the six way elimination match tonight. Let's head back to the ring.
