Mike Smith, a man who has reffed some of the biggest matches in the industry is now bringing you his own brand. And it's an honor to be part of it. I was told that I would have a broadcast partner with me here in the booth, but so far that doesn't seem to be the case. A man that is here and ready for work is none other than my esteemed colleague...... Mean Gene Okerlund! Gene.... take it away!" 
Gene Okerlund: "Thank you Gorilla! As always, it's an honor to be working with you. But you said a mouthful when talking about Mike Smith trying his hand in ownership.

The same old Brain..... always looking for a handout! Fans, it's time to make history..... it's time for our opening contest of the night!" The lights in the arena go dim for several seconds. Long enough to get the audience buzzing in anticipation, when a spotlight shines, and we see........
WALTER!!!!! Bobby Heenan: "OHHHHH MONSOON!!! I like this guy! Smith hit the jackpot signing this free agent!" Gorilla Monsoon: "He certainly has all the credentials. A former NWA National Champion! As much as I hate agreeing with you..... this is a huge signing for Gateway Championship Wrestling!" Walter stands firm in the center of the ring, when out comes his opponent.......
Gorilla Monsoon: "ARE YOU KIDDING ME? If Walter came here looking for a fight..... Pete Dunne is the man to give it to him!" Pete Dunne vs Walter The crowd chants "HOLY SHIT!" as Dunne walks right up and gets in Walter's face! They did some mat wrestling with neither guy getting the advantage. Dunne used his speed to avoid a corner chop from Walter. They exchanged strikes with Walter connecting with hard chops to the chest. Walter with a stiff knee to the face followed by a huge chop to the chest. Walter set up Dunne on the top rope so that he could put his boot to Dunne’s throat.

Ali flew off the ropes and messed up a leapfrog in a way that thankfully didn't damage the one leg he came down on before getting a running rana.
