A
video package airs on the Jumbotron, highlighting events that took place last
week, with PWA Champion Jackie Baccaro defeating Jaguar in a ladder match after
a distraction from Vulture, after which all participants in Forsaken’s
Seven Deadly Sins match hit the ring and a melee ensued. As the package concludes,
“By_Myslf” by
Hosemann: That’s right, Troy, and the road to Forsaken goes through
Hosemann: It absolutely should! But
The cheer wildly as “Opium of the People” by Slipknot hits and GI Jew leads the
team of Showtime Damon Savage, the Tag Team Champions Renegade and Paul
Dawkins, and Liz Rush to the ring. The five settle in the ring, ready for
combat as the fans continue cheering. Moments later, “We Who Are Not As Others” by Sepultura overtakes the speakers, and the fans
begin booing raucously as Bishop Cross, Loki, Reaper, the International
Champion James Biamonte, and Jade all make their way to the ring. They enter
the ring and a skirmish breaks out, with eight of them quickly exiting the
ring, leaving GI Jew and Bishop Cross to start the match officially as the bell
sounds.
* 10-PERSON MIXED TAG TEAM MATCH:
INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION JAMES BIAMONTE, JADE, & ARMY OF THE DAMNED VS. TAG
TEAM CHAMPIONS PAUL DAWKINS & RENEGADE, LIZ RUSH, SHOWTIME DAMON SAVAGE,
& GI JEW*
Referee: Tom Stevens
Jew and Cross tear into each other viciously, not wasting any time showing
the world exactly how much they hate each other. Jew establishes the early
advantage, pounding Cross down into the corner as hard as he can. Cross, needing
a way to free himself, lets loose with a furious low
blow that the referee happens to not see. Deciding that it’s time to get out of
the ring and save the battling with Jew for Forsaken, Cross tags in the
International Champion Biamonte, who immediately begins to pick on Jew while he’s
down, punishing him with an array of furious stomps. Biamonte is able to
control the tempo while Jew is down, but as soon as Jew shakes off the cobwebs,
he downs Biamonte with a big clothesline, and tags Showtime into the match!
Hosemann: We’re gonna see a little Forsaken preview right here! Biamonte and
Showtime!
Biamonte
swings a punch at Showtime, but the number one contender blocks it and downs
him hard! Showtime dominates Biamonte, prompting Biamonte to retreat to his
corner and tag Reaper into the fray. Reaper begins pounding on Showtime, but
before long, Renegade asks into the match, and Showtime obliges, tagging
one-half of the Tag Team Champions into the battle. Reaper controls the early
going, but Renegade battles back, and works Reaper over with a furious array of
punches and kicks. With Reaper on the ropes, Renegade tags his partner Dawkins
into the match, and the two seamlessly execute a joint gutwrench
suplex, taking Reaper down hard! Dawkins then tosses Reaper into the corner and
nails the stinger splash, before hitting the Scud Missile! Dawkins goes for the
cover, but Jade yanks him off! This brings Liz Rush into the ring, who spears Jade down, forcing the referee to separate them!
Hosemann: Catfight!
Finally, the two are separated, and both beg to be tagged into the match.
Reaper and Dawkins oblige, and Jade and Liz square off in the ring. Jade slaps
Liz hard in the face, but this only incites even further, who spears Jade down a second time and begins pounding on her! Jade
reverses, and gets on Liz slapping her in the face. The two get up, and Loki
very discretely tags Jade. Liz then nails Jade with a huge dropkick, sending
her out of the ring! Then, suddenly, Loki enters the ring and blasts Liz in the
face with the Atheist superkick, quickly covering!
One, two, three!
Hosemann: Nobody saw Loki tag himself into this match!
The fans
boo thunderously as “We Who Are Not As Others” blasts
onto the speakers. The heels quickly exit the ring as all of the babyfaces charge in. Dawkins checks on his fallen
girlfriend, and he and Renegade dare their Forsaken challengers back into the
ring. A tense standoff ensues between the warring sides as we take our first
commercial break.
* WINNER VIA PINFALL: JAMES BIAMONTE,
JADE, & ARMY OF THE DAMNED *

Back from
break, we are taken to Vulture’s dressing room, where we see the two-time
former PWA Champion and manager of the current PWA Champion sitting at his
desk, a smile on his face, writing on a piece of paper. Vulture continues
writing until the PWA Champion Jackie Baccaro walks into the room, at which
point, Vulture nonchalantly signs it, folds it, and puts it into his pocket.
Vulture: Giacomo! My man! You all set
with your warm-ups?
Baccaro: Yeah, I’m set. I’m ready to kick some ass tonight. Four-team
elimination match? No big deal.
Vulture: That’s the spirit.
Baccaro: No seriously. It’s no big deal at all, win or lose. I’m still walking
out with the title, and I still have to defend it against these same seven guys
on Saturday at Forsaken.
Vulture: Jackie, Jackie, what did I tell you? Being the champion starts with
preparation, and the best way to be prepared for this Seven Deadly Sins match
is to spend some time in the ring with all of them tonight. And if you think
winning isn’t important, get that idea out of your head right now. Wrestling is
all about momentum, Giacomo. Do you honestly want to give any of these guys
momentum going into the Seven Deadly Sins? Let’s face it, your partner tonight
is Solomon, and he sure isn’t getting pinned. Which means
that if your team loses, someone will have gotten a fall over the champ.
Not good. And even this: if your team WINS, but you let Solomon get that
deciding fall, you give that monster all the juice. You have to win this one
any way possible, Jackie, and make sure that, heading into Forsaken, the
momentum stays right here. Now stay here a minute, I’ve gotta
grab some coffee. I’ll be right back.
Vulture exits, and Baccaro nods and smiles, determined to maintain his
momentum tonight as we head to commercial.

A video
package airs on the Jumbotron, where a graphic on the screen reads, “Dexter P.
Wellington – A Lesson In Hardcore.” The music playing
in the background of the video — set in
Wellington: Ah, I didn’t even hear you
come in. Kerry Cox, I’m watching your so-called hardcore legacy here, and I
must say, I’m not all that impressed. Any bumbling buffoon can do the sorts of
things that you do. But to be a refined gentlemen such
as myself… that, my friends, is much more difficult. However, Kerry, I am here
tonight to prove that I can be just as hardcore as you and, consequently,
defeat you at Forsaken to reclaim MY Progressive Championship. Take note: the
warm-up suit I am currently wearing cost only $500, which to you, would be the
equivalent of purchasing an item at the local five and dime. That,
is hardcore. Also note, I have not shaved in two days, and you can see a very
light shadow along my gorgeous face. Again, hardcore.
You see, Kerry, I am just as hardcore as you, and I will be even more hardcore
than you when I beat you at your own game and take back my title.

Returning
from break, we see the Women’s Champion Morgan Day walk over to her locker. She
notices a note inside and takes it out, unfolds it, and begins to read it.
Morgan begins to blush and smile as she continues to read it, but suddenly, she
is blindsided by Keiko Ishida! Keiko, while being cheered on by Walter Gindin,
clubs Morgan down to the ground and pounds away on her with vicious punches
until security rushes over to break up the skirmish. Gindin laughs mockingly as
Morgan clutches her face in pain, struggling to get up. Keiko, crazed, needs to
be restrained.
Keiko: That belt is MINE, Morgan! You’ve
taken everything from me! Now it’s my turn! Now it’s my turn to take it all
back!
Ishida and Gindin are escorted away as the trainers tend to Morgan Day and
we take another break.
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Back from
break, “The Stone Monkey” by Kazu Matsui blares over
the speakers, and the fans begin booing loudly as Keiko Ishida makes her way to
the ring, alongside Walter Gindin. A shot of the ring reveals Camieko already
inside, ready for action.
Troy: Alright, we’ve got women’s action
coming your way right now. Keiko Ishida is on her way out here, and Scott,
after that heinous attack on Morgan Day just a few minutes
ago, these fans are really letting her have it.
Hosemann: And rightfully so, Troy. That was totally uncalled for. Keiko is
obsessed with that women’s title, and will not rest until she gets it back.
Hosemann: It’s certainly a match Keiko needs to focus on. Camieko is a two-time
champion, even though Keiko is the superior athlete, she can’t be so focused on
Morgan Day that she overlooks this match.
Troy: I don’t think that will be a problem for Keiko, Scott.
* KEIKO ISHIDA VS. CAMIEKO *
Referee: Dan Martin
The bell sounds and Keiko immediately charges Camieko, blasting her in the
jaw with a vicious crescent kick. She then lifts her up, tosses her into the
corner, perches her on the top rope, and crushes her down with a furious DDT! Keiko then stalks her prey as Camieko slowly
gets to her feet, and when Camieko rises, Keiko charges her and destroys her with
a vicious running STO! Camieko’s head smacks onto the
mat with furious impact, and Keiko covers… one, two, three.
Hosemann: Well, so much for that.
Hosemann: Certainly did now. She has been in a fowl mood ever since losing that
title, and it certainly hasn’t changed tonight.
The fans
boo and “The Stone Monkey” replays, but Keiko decides she is not yet finished. The
crazed Keiko begins stomping Camieko furiously, kicking her hard and liberally.
Gindin stands Camieko up, and Keiko prepares to give her another STO for good
measure, but the fans cheer wildly as the Women’s Champion Morgan Day comes
storming down the aisle, wielding the championship belt!
Hosemann: She looks mighty pissed, Troy! She looks like she’s out here to do
some damage and even up the score!
Morgan explodes into the ring, swinging the belt at Keiko, but Keiko and Gindin
quickly duck out of the ring and start up the ramp. Keiko and Gindin backpedal
away as “Dead Promises” by The Rasmus overtakes the
speakers. Morgan yells furiously at Keiko from the ring, who stares back at her
coldly, just four days before their next championship meeting, as we take a
commercial break.
* WINNER VIA PINFALL: KEIKO ISHIDA *
