8: MATCH 4: LETHAL LOTTERY QUALIFYING MATCH: JACKIE BACCARO VS. DYNAMITE DEAN NASH:
Referee: Jason Church
Back
from the break, Lee Palmer is already in the ring as The Prodigy's
"Spitfire" begins to play.
Palmer: The following contest is scheduled for one fall
and it is a Lethal Lottery qualifying match! Introducing first, from
Nash
rides a wave of cheers to the ring, but they quickly dissipate once Akrobatik's "Nightfall" takes over.
Palmer: And his opponent, from Los Angeles, California, weighing 264 pounds, Jackieeee Baaacaaarooooooo!
Baccaro's entrance is filled with boos as strolls
down to the ring. Instead of looking at his opponent, Baccaro stops at the foot
of the ring to let some ladies seated at ringside ogle him. A disgruntled Nash
doesn't wait up for his opponent, instead he hits the
ropes and crashes down atop Baccaro with an incredible tope!
Nash
tries to knot up Baccaro's head as he connects with
punch after punch outside the ring. Baccaro has no defense for Nash's attack as
the former Progressive Champion rolls him into the ring.
The
bell sounds and Nash delivers some stiff chops to the chest of Baccaro. He then
Irish whips him to the ropes, but the Rookie of the Year makes a delivery of
his own in the form of a devastating clothesline!
Baccaro
pries Nash off the canvas and shoots him into the ropes before grabbing him in
a press slam position, but instead of slamming him, Baccaro drives the air out
of Nash's body with a massive spinebuster!
Baccaro
gets off the mat and looks to be fuming as he grabs Nash into a powerbomb
position. Baccaro spreads his arms to signal the match is over before
lifting Nash up into a powerbomb, but quickly turning him over to flatten him
chest-first on the mat in The Baccaro Bomb! Nash clutches his chest in agony as
Baccaro turns him over and Jason Church counts to three.
"Nightfall"
replays as Baccaro simply hops out of the ring and walks back up the ramp,
leaving Nash laying as we take a break.

9: JUMBOTRON:
VAST's "Temptation"
hits the speakers and we see a graphic appear on the screen that reads
"PWA Temptation 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 Temptation logo.
O'Brien: Hello ladies and
gentlemen, my name is Ron O'Brien and this is the Temptation report. The
Progressive Wrestling
In what should produce an incredible night to remember, Temptation will see the
Lethal Lottery! 20 men will enter into the lottery, and each will be
randomly paired with another superstar to take on another pair of random
competitors in tag team action. Five tag team matches will take place, and
the ten winners will advance to an over-the-top-rope battle royal later in the
evening. The winner of the battle royal, that very same night, will
challenge Jaguar for the PWA Championship! 19 of the 20 participants have
been announced, so let’s get right to it! Competing in the Lethal
Lottery, you will see: Solomon, Jason Calysto, Scythe, Anthony Failla,
Hollywood Mike Griffin, Greg Tantalus, GI Jew, Romeo, International Champion
Jon Dulberg, The Omega Steve Beovich, Mike Grieco, Dexter P. Wellington, Paul
Dawkins, Superstar Scott Hosemann, Renegade, Greg Price, Kris Anthony, Jackie
Baccaro, and Vladimir Vydrina. The final
spot will be decided next week on Frequency, when Bishop Cross, Jonathan Brett
and Justice collide in a triple threat match. A total of seven exciting
matches spawning from one breathtaking concept! Will Jaguar be unseated at
Mohegan Sun? Tune into pay-per-view to find out!
Plus, the Women’s Champion Keiko Ishida defends against three-time former
champion Jade!
All this and more coming your way Saturday, February 12 from
SEGMENT 10:
BACKSTAGE:
The crowd immediately begins to boo when they see Women’s
Champion Keiko Ishida standing by the water cooler, pouring herself a cup of
water. As she does so, Jade approaches her.
Jade: Just the person I wanted to see.
Ishida: (Sighs and slings the belt over her shoulder)
Jade: Enjoy that belt while you have it, because I know you saw what I did to
your little ninja last week. And once we step into the ring together, you’re
the one who’s going to go down with a Side Effect.
Ishida: (Merely sips at her water)
Jade: ...Aren’t you going to say something?
Ishida: You talk too much. You wrestle with words. I wrestle with strength.
That is why you will not win. You do not tell me what you do. You show me.
Ishida brushes passed Jade, who does not even turn to watch her leave. She just
stares straight ahead, almost driven by those words. The camera focuses on her
face before fading, as we head to a commercial.

11: MATCH 5: GI JEW & SCYTHE VS. BISHOP CROSS &
ANTHONY FAILLA:
Referee: Tom Stevens
The
crowd is ready for the main event, but no one can tell from their instant
booing once the lights go down and Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of The
Opera" overture plays. With eight cloaked druids
holding torches to light his path to the ring, Bishop Cross steps out to
vociferous jeers.
Ferrara: This guy has some entrance, but he's just as weird as they come.
Cross
climbs into the ring and disrobes. Once the druids disappear, a huge blast of fireworks erupt and "Shootouts" by
Jadakiss and Styles P begins for the arrival of
Anthony Failla. The crowd boos Failla rabidly, but he also looks focused on
settling a major score as he climbs into the ring. Linkin
Park's "With You" hits next, and the mood changes dramatically as the
entrance clouds with smoke. With strobe lights flickering, Scythe makes his
grand entrance and the crowd goes crazy!
Scythe
runs to each end of the stage and salutes the crowd before heading down the
ramp. Cross trades words with Scythe before he steps to the ring, but Scythe
only disrobes and removes his headband, waiting for "Opium of The
People" by Slipknot to play before climbing into the ring. The huge amount
of cheers stays constant as GI Jew quickly rides down the ramp and circles the
ring on another one of his custom motorcycles. He turns off the bike before
hopping off and rolling into the ring. Cross and Failla each exit the ring,
leaving Scythe and GI Jew inside the accept the
crowd's cheers.
The
music stops and the cheers begin to die down a bit as Cross climbs back into
the ring. Not even waiting for Scythe to ask, GI Jew steps out of the ring,
leaving Scythe alone against his former training partner. Cross and Scythe come
face to face in the middle of the ring and Cross slaps Scythe right across the
face!
Scythe
holds his cheek and smirks in the camera before charging at Cross and drilling
him down with a tackle! Scythe and Cross brawl on the mat before Tom Stevens
breaks them up, but Scythe takes the advantage with a clothesline. Cross gets up
to recieve another before walking into an inverted atomic drop. Scythe then
hits the ropes and delivers a spinning heel kick that sends him flying back
towards his corner!
Failla
tags into the match and immediately demands a tag to GI Jew. Scythe obliges and
Jew comes in to a loud ovation. Failla and GI Jew circle the ring before
meeting in the middle, with Failla scoring a kick to the gut. He follows up
with another and then shows off some power by connecting on a long, vertical
suplex. He covers and barely gets a two count.
Ferrara: As unstable as they are, I agree.
Failla
gets Jew up and blasts him with a big right hand to the face. Jew comes back with
one of his own. Failla lands another, but Jew comes back with a harder shot.
Failla tries another, but Jew blocks it and decks Failla with a shot that sends
him to the mat. Failla gets up and Jew Irish whips him before delivering a big
back body drop!
Failla
gets up groggy and backs up into a corner. GI Jew smells blood and attacks,
pounding away with rapid fists until Failla catches him in an inverted atomic
drop. Failla falls to his knees and crawls to his corner before tagging Cross
back in.
Bishop
Cross catches GI Jew getting up and hits the ropes before spiking him right on
his head with a DDT! Cross covers for a two count,
which is broken up when Scythe pulls Cross off, but the damage has definitely
been done. Cross looks to further his assault by scissoring his legs around
Jew's neck, crunching his neck and cutting down his air supply.
The
crowd begins to chant for Jew to get back into it and he slowly begins to,
reaching his feet as Cross tightens his grip. Jew gets to a near vertical base
and breaks the hold by stomping right on the face of Bishop Cross. Air rushes
back into Jew lungs and he then lunges to his corner to bring in Scythe!
Scythe
runs into the ring and downs Cross with a clothesline before taking Failla off
the apron with a roundhouse kick. Cross gets to his feet and charges at Scythe,
who sees him coming and catches him with The Flying Dragon to plant him in the
middle of the ring! Scythe doesn't even think about a cover, instead pointing
upwards to finish him off with The Diving Blade.
Ferrara: Bishop Cross has kicked out of that before, but Scythe doesn't lose many matches that he hits this move in!
Scythe
drags Cross over to a corner and begins to head up the turnbuckles, but when he
reaches the top, Cross sits up and shoves Stevens into the ropes, causing
Scythe to fall and straddle himself on the top turnbuckle! In the same manner
that Solomon applied The Deep Freeze to Jaguar last week, Cross grabs Scythe
from behind and holds him in position on his back before dropping down and
snapping Scythe's neck across the top of his head in his vicious Crossfire neckbreaker! Cross turns Scythe over and hooks both legs,
but Scythe is down and out for the count of three!
The
crowd sits in stunned silence as the "Phantom of The Opera Overture" plays
over the PA system again. Bishop Cross sits next to a motionless Scythe and
says a few words in his ear before cracking a smile and sliding out of the
ring. Failla quickly follows suit, leaving GI Jew to tend to his fallen partner
as we take a commercial break.

SEGMENT 12:
RINGSIDE:
Nick Cade stands
alone in the ring as we come back from the break.
Cade: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the PWA World Heavyweight Champion, Jaguar!
"Real
Big" by Mannie Fresh hits the speakers and the
crowd comes unglued as Jaguar steps out onto the stage. He shows off his bright
green Marshall Byron Leftwich jersey before coming to
the front of the stage and doing his usual pose on front of his wall of
fireworks. The World Champion then climbs into the ring and removes his belt to
hold it high as he poses on each set of turnbuckles. His music then shuts off,
and the crowd is chanting Jaguar's name as he comes to Cade and grabs the
microphone.
Jaguar: No disrespect Nick, but this doesn't concern you. Get out of the ring, because I'm only looking for one man. Romeo, get on out here!
Instantly,
3 D-Bombs explode on impact with the ramp and B.G.’s
"Hottest of The Hot" remix plays for the arrival of Romeo. Also
keeping up with the apparent college theme, Da Playboi sports a white Virginia Tech Michael Vick jersey as
he passes by Nick Cade and hops into the ring. He grabs a microphone for
himself and ignores his cheers and boos as he comes face to face with his
partner.
Jaguar: It's seeming to me that you forgot how to answer a phone, so our business must be handled here in front of the world. I'll get right to the point. I got dumped on my damn face last week by Solomon and he beat me, but after the match, where the hell were you?!
Romeo: Where was I? I was leaving the building.
Jaguar: For what? I was lying there in the ring!
Romeo: Listen Jag, you know the deal here. Me being Da Playboi isn't just a name. After my matches are done, I'm out on the town. You lost the match and Solomon and Gindin had already left, so I bounced out early.
Jaguar: You're serious aren't you?
Romeo: Of course I am. You know how that works don't you? Or do you not remember how we used to get down since you won the World Title?\\
Jaguar: Oh I remember, and I still do me. But it would have been nice if my partner was there for me.
Romeo: You know what Jag? You're right man. I should have been there. I thought about it all week and I found out a way to make it up to you. Temptation is a few weeks away, but forget about that for now. I know the only way to get a title shot is to win the battle royal, and no matter what, I will do that. But I'll also enter that night with a belt, because I spoke to Kerry Cox and I have gotten you and I a shot at the PWA Tag Team titles next week on Frequency!
Jaguar: Really?
Romeo: Sure, think about it man. We've got The Lost Souls as the champions. I don't think these guys have ever beaten us. I know we've had some rough times lately, but what better way to get back on track than to regroup the greatest team of all time and win our fifth PWA Tag Team Championship?!
Jaguar: You might be on to something there. I can see that one. You and I showing exactly what we are, the best in the world.
Before
The Hot Boy$ can celebrate, "A Violent Reaction" by American Head
Charge hits and the crowd boos as The Lost Souls step onto the stage.
Reaper: You know what guys? That's fine with us. We welcome your challenge next week, but it doesn't look like you're busy right now. How about we come down there and do it right here, right now?!
Romeo: Bring it.
The
Lost Souls drop the mic and begin their walk to the
ring as The Hot Boy$ get ready. The champions walk around the ring, looking
ready to get in, but simply turn and walk back up the ramp smirking as the
crowd boos their exit.
Jaguar: That's fine guys, go ahead and run. But next week,
we're bringing the house to you and we're gonna leave
Ferrara: And The Hot Boy$ look to be fine tonight, but they aren't competing tonight. We'll see if they can keep it together to get title number five.
"We
On Fire" plays as The Hot Boy$ and Lost Souls
commence a heated staredown and Frequency comes to a
close.
