NGW: Anniversary

Anniversary (2015) was a professional wrestling pay-per-view (PPV) event produced by Next Generation Wrestling. It took place on November 7th, 2015 in Brooklyn, New York. It was the first and only event under the Anniversary chronology and the tenth event to be produced by professional wrestling promotion Next Generation Wrestling (NGW), also the final event produced by Next Generation Wrestling.

There was speculated to be six matches contested at the event. In the main event, Kelsey Taylor was set to defend her NGW Heavyweight Championship against number 1 contender Tyler Keenan, also Jeffry Mason was scheduled to have his last ever in ring match against Jackson Buckley.

## **Production**

#### **Background**

NGW: Anniversary was the tenth show produced by professional wrestling promotion Next Generation Wrestling.

#### **Storylines**

The NGW: Anniversary show featured professional wrestling matches involving different wrestlers signed by the promotion. Wrestlers portrayed faces (those who portray the "good guys") or heels (the "bad guys") as they followed a series of events that built tension and culminated in a match.

## **Closure of NGW**

The closure of NGW is still a cloudy situation, but it is predicted that the company closed due to loss of funding as Danny Bison has since vanished from the entire wrestling scene, also vanishing altogether and living a quiet life. Bison hasn't answered any questions about NGW.

Others predict that Jeffry Mason gained ownership of the company rather than the role of GM as he stated and that Mason decided to close the company.

## **Event/Jeffry Mason's Shoot**

NGW: Anniversary opened were expecting a show, but were instead with a speech from Jeffry Mason. The speech is unknown to all but is predicted to be a shoot on the entire company.

So ya, Thought ya, Might like to, go to the show. To feel
the warm thrill of confusion, that space cadet glow. Well I've got, some bad
news for you, dearies, Graham isn't well, he stayed back at the hotel. And he
sent us along as a surrogate bang. We're gonna find out where you fans really
stand.

From behind the entrance curtain, about a hundred men all
wearing black hoods over their faces and dressed in full black riot gear
including batons, come marching out to the ring in lines of three. They
immediately surround the entire ring behind the wrestlers and begin handcuffing
all of the wrestlers, striking anyone who resists even slightly with their
batons until they can be handcuffed, which only takes about two minutes since
there are three armed men for each member of the NGW roster.

Are there any heels in the arena tonight? Get 'em up against
the wall. And there's one in the spotlight, he don't look right to me. Get him
up against the wall. And that one looks foolish. And that one's a rube. Who let
all of this riffraff into the room? There's one smoking a joint, and another
who blows spots. If I had my way... I'd have all of you SHOT!

By the very end of the song, the entire NGW roster has been
handcuffed and forced to sit against the barricades by the unknown men. The
song fades and all that can be heard over the massive boos from the audience is Kelsey's mad laughter. After about half a minute of this, she quits laughing in
order for Mason to speak.

So this is the next generation of wrestling, huh? A bunch of
weak, pathetic little worms? I thought you fuckers had HEART! I thought that
most of you had what it took to take my place when I'm gone. But you know what?
All that bullshit I said last month? I didn't mean a goddamn word of it! But
tonight, in case you couldn't already tell, I'm not here to fuck around. I've
gathered you all here tonight for an important announcement. As all of you
know, and most of these stupid fans here that spend all their free time online
on shitty wrestling forums know, Walter Graham has decided to up and leave the
wrestling business like the coward that he is. Good fucking riddance. As a
result of Graham deciding to suddenly leave, there were two options. Let NGW
die then and there, or pass along the company to someone else. Someone else who
could be entrusted with the company's certainly bright future. Someone with a
lot of experience, both behind the scenes and in the ring. Someone who is well
respected in the wrestling company. And who do you think was the man that he
chose to take over his spot? To take over this company?

Mason reaches into his jacket pocket and pulls out a few
pieces of paper stapled together and folded twice in half. He unfolds it and
holds it in the air, spinning in a slow full circle to ensure that everyone,
especially the wrestlers, get a good look at it.

That's right! Get a good look. You are now looking at the
NEW owner of NGW!.... Throw all the garbage you have. Because you know what
this symbolizes here beneath my feet? THIS is NGW Anniversary, now! And not
much has changed in a year, because over the past 365 days, these are the only
things that have stood in this very ring. Kelsey Taylor, Jeffry Mason, and a
whole bunch of worthless TRASH! Kelsey, please, do the honor of symbolically
passing the torch, and put one of these pieces of trash over as the new
champion.

With the biggest grin possible, Kelsey Taylor lies on her
back, making a snow angel in the debris before placing an empty cup, a crumpled
up flyer, and as much other trash as she can on top of her body. Mason stuffs
the contract for the ownership of NGW in his pocket and gets on the ground next
to her and mockingly makes a 3-count. He gets to his feet and pulls her up as
well. Kelsey bends down and picks up the NGW World Championship, but Mason
takes it from her. Kelsey does a purposely terrible acting job as she pretends
to be upset.

The winner of the match, and NEW NGW World Champion, is

Mason throws the title on the ground and angrily stomps on
it with every word.

A

GIANT

WORTHLESS

PILE

OF

TRASH

What a show, huh? Well, it's been a good year, including
trash's boyhood dream being realized. Thank you everyone, for coming out to NGW
Anniversary, and we hope to see you all at the next show. Oh. Wait...

Mason pulls out the contract from his pocket and hands it to
Kelsey, and then reaches in his pocket to pull out his signature barbed wire
Zippo.

You see, I've made a career out of proving people wrong. I
proved them all wrong by helping NGW to survive its first year. But that just
isn't enough for me anymore. Tonight, with the help of the lovely and talented
Goddess of Ultraviolence Kelsey Taylor, I am going to yet again prove everyone
wrong who has ever said that "you cannot kill what you did not create."
Rest in pieces, NGW. It was fun for awhile, but this...this here is the moment
I've REALLY been waiting for. The opportunity to rid myself, and all of you
fans, of the absolute disgrace to the wrestling world. It is time to put NGW
out of its misery, and put an end to its abysmal existence. Kelsey, if you
would, please...

Kelsey holds the contract out in front of her. Mason flips
open his lighter and strikes it lit, then slowly brings it to the corner of the
contract, until it starts to slowly burn, all while Mason grins like a madman,
eyes wide and reflecting the fiery demise of NGW which is happening mere feet
from his face. Finally, when there is almost no paper left, Kelsey lets it drop
to the ground, where it almost immediately burns out.

That's it! Show's over, and so is NGW! Servants, wrangle all
of these now-unemployed sheep out of the arena and let them go out into the
wild. And all of you fans, drive home wrecklessly. Maybe some of you can get
into crashes. Fuck you all, and GOODNIGHT!
