SEGMENT 7: BACKSTAGE:
Back from commercial, we see Lauren Tantalus at the water
cooler, wearing her chef’s hat. After she gets herself a cup of water,
she turns around, to find her brother Greg standing right next to her.
The crowd cheers when seeing this, and Tantalus
simply smirks at his sister, who is not pleased to see him.
Lauren: What the hell do you want?
Tantalus: What do I want? I don’t know, maybe a glass of water?
Lauren: That’s really all you came over here for? I doubt that.
Tantalus: Listen, you can think whatever you want about my mindset, or
about what I feel about you stabbing me in the back the way you did. But
it’s not my place to say anything to you. In time, you’ll realize the
mistake you’ve made.
Lauren: How is this a mistake? Greg, you
know it was nothing personal. You know you’re still my brother and I
still love you… but I had to do what was best for me personally. I had to
do whatever I could to stay employed, to stay a part of this company.
When I went down with that injury and the doctors told me I’d never wrestle
again, I couldn’t bear the thought of being away from all my friends, never
seeing them again. I did what I had to do to stay involved.
Tantalus: But don’t you realize that you’ve basically aligned yourself
with my biggest enemy? Listen, for all the good times me and
Lauren: But Greg, YOU’RE an arrogant, obnoxious asshole. You’re forgetting
that the things that you’re condemning
Tantalus: Maybe you’re right, in theory. But this has become way
too personal now. It’s not even about him costing us matches as TFU, him
turning you against me, or any of that. It’s the backstage attacks, it’s
the constant belittling… and more than that, it’s the fact that he’s pinned me
three times in the last four weeks. Do you understand how hard that is
for my ego to take? I’m starting to feel like I just can’t beat him
anymore.
Just then, Hollywood Mike Griffin walks into the scene.
Lauren: Mike…
Griffin: You know Greg, you would have had a fine career forever riding
my coattails, following me to the heights of greatness that you could never
reach on your own. But you had to ruin it. Twice, you went out
there and ruined it for yourself. Believe me Greg,
I’ll be fine with my career. I’ve always been. You were always the
weak link of TFU and you know it. Even in CAW, all you could do was ride
my coattails to the tag team championship, while I went out and won the
Intercontinental title at the same time. You were the first person to
win the FSW Championship merely because I allowed it, and once Vulture came
into FSW the next year and took the title from you, I did the one thing you
couldn’t do – I beat him. Then in PWA, when you got jealous and broke up
our team in 2002, what happened? I beat you at Revival, I beat you at
SEGMENT 8: BACKSTAGE:
The audience suddenly begins jeering when the camera goes
backstage to find Solomon and Gindin in their room. Solomon is pacing about and
pounding his fists together while Gindin is on the couch, nervously rocking
back and forth.
Solomon: I could hardly ask for more than tonight’s main event, Walter. You and
me against the Hot Boy$, my chance to get the both of them in that ring and
destroy them at the same time! I’m gonna... What’s with you?
Gindin: Y-you just said it, Solomon! You and me! I’M in the match, too! If they
get close to me, they’ll take my head off! I just know it!
Just then, Jade steps into the room with a cocky smile. The camera goes back
and forth between Solomon and Gindin, and Jade.
Jade: It’s been a long wait, but tonight’s the night, gentlemen.
Solomon: Just relax, Walter. You let me handle the Hot Boy$ and you won’t even
be touched.
Jade: I’ll just take out whoever Keiko Ishida’s mystery opponent is for me and
take my place for a shot at the Women’s Title.
Gindin: But those guys fight dirty, Solomon! I’m not gonna hesitate to run if
they come after me!
Jade: ... My match is coming up next, you know.
Solomon: I can win the match by myself, you know that as well
as I do.
Jade: Ugh!
Jade stomps out of the room in frustration and we go to
another commercial break.

SEGMENT 9: MATCH 3: JADE VS. ???:
Referee: Dan Martin
Jade makes her appearance
to a predominantly negative reaction from the crowd, as she walks down to the
ring to “Zerospace” by Kidneythieves.
She climbs into the ring and anxiously waits for her challenge in Keiko
Ishida’s prepared mystery opponent. She poses for several moments before
“Samurai” by Juno Reactor hits and Keiko Ishida is the first to arrive. Ishida
has the belt draped over her shoulder with the crowd showering her with boos.
With her back to the entrance, a woman dressed in a dark Ninja outfit calmly
walks out from behind the curtain. Keiko and the Ninja slowly walk down to the
ring, and the crowd offers a reaction mixed with confusion and surprise. Jade’s
expression is equal to the crowds, having expected something different.
Keiko holds her hand up as they reach the bottom of the ring, and the Ninja
stops in her tracks. She holds her hands out in front and adjusts her gloves
and mask before Ishida brings her hand forward, commanding the Ninja to enter
the ring. She quickly slides into it and attacks Jade
with lightning fast chops that stagger the former Women’s champion!
The Ninja quickly goes down and sweeps with an outstretched leg, taking Jade
off her feet. The Ninja seizes the opportunity and hurls her fist towards the
mat, but Jade rolls out of the way in the nick of time. Jade quickly gets back
to her feet and charges forward, but the Ninja uses her momentum and grabs
Jade’s arm before flipping her onto her back. Ishida looks on with a smug
expression and the crowd is shocked to see the Ninja fairing so well.
Troy: I have to say, I’m surprised.
The Ninja lifts her leg up high to deliver an ax kick to Jade, but the former
champion evades an attack for the second time! Jade quickly rises to her feet
and the Ninja goes back on the attack, but Jade scouts it and sidesteps her! In
one swift move, Jade grabs the Ninja and delivers a devastating Side Effect that lands with a sickening impact! Jade hooks the leg, one,
two, three!
“Zerospace” plays once more and Jade rises to her
feet. Keiko looks up at Jade, and they engage in a heated staredown.
Jade begins to mouth off, but the Women’s Champion coldly turns her back and
heads up the ramp as we go to a commercial.

SEGMENT 10: RINGSIDE:
As we return from
commercial, “Not Falling” by Mudvayne overtakes the
speakers and the crowd erupts into raucous jeers. Moments later, the new
International Champion Jon Dulberg emerges from behind the curtain, flanked by
“Not That” Rodney King, Natasha Vydrina, and her husband, “The Angel of Death”
Vladimir Vydrina. The group is all smiles as they approach the ring,
still laughing and reveling in their destruction of Showtime Damon Savage at
Forsaken. King grabs a microphone and all enter the ring.
King: Ladies and gentlemen, I give to you… the NEW… PWA International
Champion… the Human Highlight himself, Jon Dulberg!
The fans boo loudly and Dulberg is handed the microphone.
Dulberg: I hate to say I told you so, but… I told you so. Showtime
Damon Savage was outed on Saturday night, and outed for being a fraud. He told everyone that he was
so great, that he was the International Champion, blah blah
blah… and look at him. He’s absolutely nothing.
Not only did we take the International Championship away from him, but we
put him on the shelf, for a long, long time. Isn’t that right, Rodney?
King: From what I hear, there isn’t even a timetable on Showtime’s
return! He may NEVER come back! But, you see, all this happened
simply because Showtime bit the hand that fed him. If he would have just
been grateful for everything that we have given him, none of this would have
had to happen. But, Showtime wanted to prove he was bigger than Rodney
King, bigger than all of us. Now he’s laid
up in a hospital bed. I hope you’re happy Showtime. I know one man
who’s happy though. Big Vlad, tell these people
what’s on your mind.
King hands the microphone to Vladimir Vydrina, the man that decimated Savage at
Forsaken, who slowly brings the microphone to his face.
Vydrina: Showtime… you are terrible fighter… Vladimir Vydrina great
fighter… Showtime Savage broken man… Vladimir Vydrina broke you… Vladimir
Vydrina break all terrible fighters.
As the fans boo vociferously, Vydrina hands the microphone to his wife Natasha.
Natasha: My husband is a great man, and a deadly man. Mr. Showtime
knows that now. You people know that now. My husband is the
greatest fighter who ever lived. My husband will be champion of the
world. No one can stop him. My husband challenges any man,
wrestler or boxer, to face him. He will break people in the wrestling
ring. He will break people in the boxing ring. My husband will
destroy them all.
King: And any Vladimir Vydrina fight will be brought to you exclusively
by Rodney King Promotions! We now have the greatest fighter in the world
today, Vladimir Vydrina, and the greatest wrestler in the world, the
International Champion, Jon Dulberg! Only in
With that, “Mama Said Knock You Out” by LL Cool J hits and the group exits to a
cavalcade of jeers as we take our final commercial break.

SEGMENT 12:
MATCH 4: THE HOT BOY$ VS. SOLOMON
& WALTER GINDIN:
Referee:
Tom Stevens
Three
D-Bombs whistle and crash in a huge explosion on the ramp as "We On Fire" hits. The crowd comes to their feet as Jaguar
and Romeo step out of the entrance in tandem for the first time in several
weeks. The 8-time Tag Team Champions pose in front of their flaming fireworks
and make their way to the ring to pose on each set of turnbuckles. Jaguar
displays his PWA Championship belt once more before folding it up and handing
it over to Tom Stevens, who hands it to the timekeeper as two cannons shoot icy
blue pyro into the air and "Hear Me" hits.
With
the arena under a blueish hue, Solomon leads the way
to the ring as his agent, Walter Gindin, follows closely behind. Obviously not
expecting to compete tonight, Gindin sports basic navy blue sweats as his
wrestling attire and he climbs up the ring steps nervously.
Ferrara: No matter how you slice it, this matchup just isn't fair. Walter Gindin is not a wrestler, and Kerry Cox puts him in there with the best team
in history!
The
bell sounds with Solomon and Jaguar in the ring. They waste no time in picking
up from where they left off at Forsaken, trading punch after punch. Jaguar
holds his own, but cannot fend off Solomon once he
scores with a knee to the midsection and a scoop slam. Solomon backs to the
ropes and jumps up for an elbow drop, but Jaguar rolls away and he crashes into
the mat!
Both
men get up and Jaguar sends Solomon back down with a jumping side kick before
tagging in Romeo. Da Playboi
catches Solomon getting to a vertical base and he acts quickly enough to bum rush him back into a corner and nail repeated shoulder
thrusts into his gut. Solomon stumbles forward and Romeo spikes him down with a huge DDT! Romeo covers for one.....two.....and Solomon
kicks out!
Romeo
tags Jaguar back into the ring and the champion charges, but Solomon surprises
him with a massive spinebuster! He covers for a count of two, but Jaguar is
still dazed and dizzied on the mat below. Seeing this, Gindin decides the time
is right for him to get into the match and he demands the tag that Solomon
gives him.
Gindin
steps into the ring and kicks Jaguar hard in the rib cage, sending him back
down to the mat. Gindin gains some boos by taunting the crowd, but the rest of
his attack plan lacks direction once Jaguar reaches his feet. Gindin tries to
swing a punch, but Jaguar blocks it and nails an inverted atomic drop. Gindin
is stood up by the drop, so Jaguar drops him by hitting the ropes and nearly
tackling him out of his shoes!
Gindin
is bounced all the way out of the ring, but Solomon tags back in as he is
sliding out. Jaguar tags out to Romeo, who senses The Alaskan Monster wearing
down a bit. Romeo peppers Solomon with a few rights and lefts before scooping
him up and nailing his reverse DVD! Romeo covers again, for one...two...and
Solomon kicks out!
Romeo
looks over to Jaguar and calls for The Heatwave,
bringing the crowd back to its feet. Romeo makes the tag and gets Solomon back
onto his shoulders, but once Jaguar reaches the top rope, Gindin reaches up and
shakes it, causing the champion to lose his balance and straddle himself across
the top turnbuckle!
Solomon
pounds Romeo across the bridge of the nose to get free and a big boot to the
face puts Da Playboi on his
back after Solomon reaches his feet. With Jaguar still straddled on the top
rope, Solomon moves fast enough to scoop him up off the top rope and drill him
with The Deep Freeze! Solomon covers and Stevens counts 1-----2-----3!
"Hear Me" replays and Solomon is standing victorious as both Hot Boy$
are lying flat in the ring.
Troy: This is the best team in the business, they don't
make these kinds of mistakes.
Solomon
and Gindin exit up the ramp as Romeo gets to his feet in the ring. He looks
down at Jaguar, who still hasn't moved from the impact of The Deep Freeze. The
crowd is yelling for Romeo to assist his partner, but instead, Da Playboi just shakes his head
in disgust and hops out of the ring! Romeo walks up the ramp without turning
back towards the ring, instead walking through the curtain and leaving Jaguar laying in a heap as Frequency fades to black.
