We return from break with a furious GI Jew screaming and cursing through the
backstage area. Eventually, he finds CEO Kerry Cox and Commissioner Paul
Ferrara and begins screaming at them.
Jew: I want Cross! I want Cross’ ass and
I want it now!
Cox: Whoa whoa! Slow down! I can’t do that, you know that…
Jew grabs Cox by the shirt.
Jew: I want Cross! I’m gonna tear his
damn head off!
Ferrara: You can have him, Jew, but at Forsaken! Save it for the pay-per-view!
11 days from now, we’ll sign it right here, GI Jew vs. Bishop Cross at
Forsaken!
Jew: His ass is MINE at Forsaken!
Jew then storms away. Cox and
With that,

BREAK --
David Draiman's "Forsaken" hits the
speakers and we see a graphic appear on the screen that reads "PWA
Forsaken Report." From there, the shot takes us to a backstage set
and PWA reporter Ron O'Brien, who is standing in front of a backdrop featuring
the Forsaken logo.
O'Brien: Hello ladies and
gentlemen, my name is Ron O'Brien and this is the Revival report. The
Progressive Wrestling
In the insane Seven Deadly Sins match, Jackie Baccaro defends the PWA
Championship against Solomon, Mike Griffin, Greg Tantalus, Jason Calysto,
Romeo, Scythe, and Jaguar! Seven of these men participated in this match last
year, and Baccaro, the new champion, will make his Seven Deadly Sins debut!
Will that put him at a disadvantage? Eight men, seven falls, it's the most
intense 70 minutes of wrestling you'll find all year!
With the International Championship on the line, James Biamonte, along with
Jade, will try to fend off the onslaught of ultra-popular Showtime Damon
Savage!

Dawkins and Renegade will defend the Tag Team Championship in a Revival rematch

BREAK --
Back from break, we see Vulture leading PWA
Champion Jackie Baccaro through the backstage hallway, en route to the ring for
his ladder match. However, as they walk, they run into PWA Women’s Champion Morgan
Day walking the opposite way. Morgan and Vulture exchange a friendly glance,
but the champ is not as friendly.
Baccaro: Well well, look who it is.
Morgan: Don’t start with me, Jackie. I’m actually in a good mood.
Baccaro: You don’t deserve to ever be in a good mood.
Vulture: Whoa, whoa. There’s no need for this, guys. You two are both world
champions now, the best male and female wrestlers in the world, respectively.
Can’t we be civil?
Baccaro and Morgan just continue to glare at one another.
Vulture: Alright then. Jackie, let’s go
to the ring. Morgan, we’ll see you later.
Baccaro: Hopefully never.
Morgan: Believe me, I hope the same.
Baccaro and Vulture walk toward the ring, and Vulture looks back, noticing
that Morgan has walked away. Vulture turns back around, but as soon as he does,
Morgan turns around, looking in his direction, before turning back around and
walking away as we take our final commercial break.
Hosemann: I cannot wait!

BREAK --
Back from break, “Things Done Changed” by Notorious
BIG hits the speakers, and the fans begin booing raucously as the PWA World
Heavyweight Champion Jackie Baccaro makes his way to the ring, alongside his
manager Vulture. We cut to a shot of the ring, where we see a briefcase hanging
above the ring, with a ladder set up outside the ring, at the foot of the ramp.
Baccaro gives a long look at the ladder before entering the ring, with Vulture
assuring him that he’ll be fine.
Troy: You know, Scott, if I didn’t know
better, I’d say Baccaro was nervous here.
Hosemann: He has no reason to be. He was in a tag team ladder match about a
year and a half ago and did fine. I think it’s just the general nerves involved
with being in a one-on-one ladder match, knowing there’s no one to bail you out
if you make a mistake, that may be getting to him.
Moments later, “I’m On It” by the Purple Ribbon
All-Stars explodes onto the speakers and Freedom Hall comes unglued for the
four-time PWA Champion!
Hosemann: Listen to this response,
Troy: And so do our fans all over the world, Scott!
Hosemann: This is a big match for Jaguar here! A win tonight will get him a guaranteed
title shot any time he wants, after Forsaken, which is definitely nothing to
laugh at!
* LADDER MATCH: NON-TITLE MATCH: PWA
WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION JACKIE BACCARO VS. JAGUAR *
Referee: Tom Stevens
Jaguar enters the ring and the bell quickly sounds, with Jaguar and Baccaro
exchanging fists furiously as soon as the match begins. Jaguar gains the early
advantage in the battle of fisticuffs, staggering Baccaro back, whipping him
against the ropes, and nailing him down with a hard back body drop! Baccaro
gets up, and Jaguar quickly clotheslines him over the top rope and down to the
arena floor to a huge ovation! Once on the outside, Jaguar takes Baccaro’s head
and smashes it hard into the ladder, eliciting another big pop from the crowd! Jaguar
then folds up the ladder and begins brandishing it as a weapon, taking it and
smacking Baccaro in the head with it hard! The fans cheer yet again, and
Vulture comes over, yelling at Jaguar to get in the ring. In response, Jaguar
threatens to hit Vulture, bad neck and all, with the ladder, so Vulture
intelligently backs off and lets Jaguar continue his work. Jaguar slides the
ladder into the ring and slides in after it. After signaling to the audience,
Jaguar sets the ladder up in the middle of the ring.
Hosemann: He is,
With the fans cheering wildly, Jaguar begins his
climb up the ladder. Vulture, meanwhile, rushes to Baccaro’s side and rallies
him back to his feet. Baccaro slides back into the ring and, as Jaguar is able
to touch the briefcase, Baccaro shoves the ladder down, sending Jaguar crashing
down with it!
With Jaguar down, Baccaro grabs the ladder and
begins punishing him repeatedly with it, crashing it down onto him furiously!
Jaguar is battered and bruised, and Baccaro sets the ladder up in the middle of
the ring, aiming for the briefcase. Baccaro begins climbing it up slowly, and
the fans boo with every step he takes. However, Jaguar is able to get up, and
begins climbing up the ladder oppositely! Jaguar and Baccaro reach the top
simultaneously. The two exchange fists ardently, and Jaguar establishes the
advantage. From there, Jaguar grabs Baccaro and superplexes him off the ladder!
Baccaro crashes down on the mat and tumbles out of the ring, but Jaguar’s head
smacks off the turnbuckle on the way down!
Hosemann: I did! Jaguar could have seriously injured himself there! You know
his history of concussions!
Baccaro rolls himself back into the ring ultimately,
and goes to lift Jaguar up. However, Jaguar explodes up and, with reserve
energy, destroys the champion with the Carrjack! The fans cheer thunderously as
Jaguar begins climbing up the ladder very slowly and cautiously! Jaguar gets
about halfway up the ladder and Vulture comes into the ring, grabbing onto the
ladder! Jaguar yells at Vulture to let go of the ladder, but Vulture maintains
his grip on it! Vulture tells Jaguar to continue climbing up the ladder, but
Jaguar won’t do it, thinking Vulture will tip the ladder over as soon as he
gets further up. Meanwhile, Baccaro is slowly climbing to his feet. Eventually,
Jaguar kicks Vulture in the face, downing him! However, Baccaro is back up,
grabs Jaguar off the ladder, and destroys him with the Baccaro Bomb! Then, to
the thunderous jeers of the capacity crowd, Baccaro climbs the ladder and
unhooks the briefcase!
Hosemann: He did,
As “Things Done Changed” hits and Baccaro and Vulture celebrate the victory,
Greg Tantalus runs down to the ring, prompting the crowd to cheer thunderously!
Trying to take advantage of a weakened opponent just as Baccaro had done to him
at Revival, Tantalus slides into the ring and immediately exchanges fists with
Baccaro! However, Solomon rushes out from the back and begins pounding on
Tantalus! This brings out Jason Calysto, who emerges to a huge ovation to
attack Solomon! Upon Calysto’s arrival, Romeo charges out and joins in the
fray! Then, Scythe and Hollywood Mike Griffin also charge out and all eight
participants in the Forsaken Seven Deadly Sins match are in the ring brawling furiously!
Hosemann: If this is any indication of what the Seven Deadly Sins match is gonna
be like, I can’t wait for Forsaken!
* WINNER: JACKIE BACCARO *
