We see what appears to be the set of a news program in a state of construction. Workers are putting things together, and a monitor is being secured in place behind the anchor’s chair. Rob Cartwright, known as a backstage interviewer from the Lock Wrestling Federation, walks onto the set, reading from a piece of paper. He glances up at a worker carrying a box.
Cartwright: Over there for now.
He points towards a corner of the studio. Cartwright takes a moment to oversee everything that is going on.
Cartwright: Let’s hop to it, people! Travis will be here in a couple hours, we need everything ready before his inspection.
Cartwright looks towards the camera.
Cartwright: Hello there.
He takes a few steps towards it.
Cartwright: Welcome to the brand new set of The Piercing Truth, hosted by the man whose name you know, Travis Pierce. My name is Rob Cartwright, and some of our old viewers may know me from my time in the Lock Wrestling Federation, where I worked as a backstage interviewer. I’m sure many of you don’t realize this, but this merger of two federations has put a lot of people out of work, out of a job in a down economy, and I was no different, but I’ve found myself a home here at The Piercing Truth, where you’ll be seeing me in our new season when I serve as our announcer. As you can see, we’re getting things ready, as April 5th will be upon us sooner than you think, and there is a lot to be done in the meantime. Of course, that’s not why you’re here, that’s not why you tune in. You tune in to see the man who won the Cross-Hemisphere Championship at Lockmania, you know his name, Travis Pierce. Some of you may be new viewers, and are unfamiliar with our host. His road in LWF was a long a winding one.
Travis Pierce debuted in LWF in December of 2007, coinciding with LWF’s return after a nearly three year hiatus. He can into conflict with Jake White, a feud that kicked into high gear after White won the Cross-Hemisphere Title. It appeared that Pierce had White’s number, outwitting and outdoing him at every turn, but White escaped at Maximum Carnage with the title when he intentionally got himself counted out. Pierce was granted a rematch at Lockmania in a Stairway to Hell Match, but ultimately came up short as White was able to defeat him and retain the title.
Pierce entered into a partnership with Colby Colt, and the pair became known as the Stampeding Truth, and quickly defeated the Unholy Hierarchy to become the Tag Team Champions. They entered into a feud with Fear and Donovan Hastings, exasperated when Fear dragged yours truly around in chains. Pierce gained a measure of revenge when he defeated Fear in a Chain Match at Resurrection, but in the end the Lords of Pain defeated the pair for the Tag Titles.
The darkest chapter in the career of Travis Pierce began the night that he featured Triple M as his guest on The Piercing Truth. Pierce pushed the 3-Time World Champion too far, and Triple M responded by beating Pierce down and destroying the set. Pierce fell into depression, compounded by his inability to defeat Triple M in a No Holds Barred Match at Revolution. Pierce blamed Colt for the loss of his dream, and refused to aid Colt when the team was part the first ever Prison Break Match for the Tag Titles.
Pierce used a handheld camera to film a series of guerrilla tactic vignettes, slipping further and further into insanity until he caught the attention of the Dirty South Franchise. The group, consisting of Darius Jermaine, Kyle Tacker, and the former Jake White, who had rebranded himself as Chance Chesney. Former rivals Chesney and Pierce teamed together as the Confederate Truth, and at Betrayal won a four team turmoil match to become the Tag Team Champions.
The targeting of Psiko, Alan Fernandez, and Fear by the Franchise led to the trio joining together to become the Lunatic Fringe, and the Confederate Truth feuded directly with Fernandez and Fear. Fernandez won the Shell/Pennzoil Championship from Chesney and rechristened it the Acme Championship, having acquired the sponsorship from the company, but Pierce defeated Fernandez for the title and sponsored it directly himself, naming the title the Piercing Championship as part of a marketing campaign to promote The Piercing Truth, to be filmed on a new set financed by Jermaine and the Franchise. Pierce would hold the title for the rest of his tenure in LWF. The Confederate Truth twice overcame the challenges of Freak Show Central for the Tag Titles, the second defense taking place in a Highwire Match, but when Fear teamed instead with Psiko to face them at Lockmania in a Maniacal Multiple Massacre Match, it proved to be too much, and in the aftermath the Franchise itself broke apart.
When Arelas formed the Infinite Flight, it was as a direct opposition to the newer members of LWF. Pierce joined together with John Russo, TJ Hero, and Nate Webb, and these Young Guns led the resistance against the Flight. Pierce bounced back from a loss to Fernandez at Maul to defeat Crow at Resurrection.
With the threat of the Flight turned aside, Pierce focused on the annual Lord of the Ring tournament. He defeated Donovan Hastings and Matthew Carter on his way to the finals, but was defeated in the final match by Darius Jermaine after Hastings interfered and attacked him with a lead pipe. Hastings blamed Pierce for his own failure to win the tournament, but with John Russo as his partner, the Young Guns defeated Hastings and Diablo to win the Tag Titles at Revolution. Pierce’s feud with Hastings continued as the Lord of Pain defeat Pierce, Lone Wolf, and defending champion Derick Felix in a Ladder Match for the Cross-Hemisphere Title at Meltdown, and Pierce was unsuccessful in a direct challenge against Hastings for the title at Vengeance.
John Russo, angry that the fans didn’t vote for him as the World Title challenger at Vengeance, left Pierce on his own to defend the Tag Team Championship in a Handicap Match against the Walking Legends, costing the team the championship. Just days afterwards, Pierce had to defend the Piercing Championship against Red Fusion, and was successful.
Pierce began to focus on his individual achievements, and after disappointments in a Fatal Fourway for the Cross-Hemisphere Title at Betrayal, the Massive Melee, and the Carnage Match for the Havok Title at Maximum Carnage, Pierce finally won a major singles championship of his own at LWF’s final show, Lockmania, when he defeated the Big Time to at last hold the title.
So now we look forward to the future here in the Unified Global Wrestling Coalition, and a new season of everyone’s favorite news program.
