GUND ARENA
SEGMENT 1: INTRODUCTION:
A video package airs, highlighting events that took place last
week, with PWA Champion Jaguar and his tag team partner Romeo making events,
arranging a tag team title match against the Lost Souls for tonight. The
opening credits then roll as
Troy: Ladies and gentlemen, tonight, we
are going to see a 20-man battle royal.
But this isn’t like any ordinary battle royal. In this battle royal, elimination can occur
by getting knocked out of the ring in any way.
You don’t have to be knocked over the top rope to be gone. The 20 participants will the 20 entrants into
the Lethal Lottery, and get this – the last two men standing tonight will be
partners at Temptation! And if that weren’t
enough, right here tonight, those two men will draw names from our tumbler, one
each, to determine their opponents! One
of the Temptation Lethal Lottery matches will be made right here tonight!
SEGMENT 2: MATCH 1:
LETHAL LOTTERY QUALIFYING MATCH: BISHOP
CROSS VS. JUSTICE VS. JONATHAN BRETT:
Referee:
Jason Church
The action gets underway as the house lights darken and Andrew
Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of The Opera Overture" begins to play. The
familiar cloaked druids each hold a flaming torch to light Bishop Cross' way to
the ring as the crowd showers him with vociferous boos.
As Cross settles in the ring, "Quake 1" by Nine Inch
Nails hits and the boos stay loud in volume as Jonathan Brett slowly stalks his
way to the ring. Cross looks down at the mat and never locks eyes with Brett as
he steps through the ropes. "Where Da Hood At" by DMX plays last and
the crowd finally has something to cheer as Justice runs out through the
curtain and down the ramp.
Upon sliding into the ring, Justice gets up and immediately
catches Brett sleeping with a clothesline! The bell rings and Cross runs at
Justice, only to find a big boot to the face! Brett gets up and runs at
Justice, but he gets a boot to his face as well. Brett rolls out of the ring as
Cross gets back up and he walks into a gorilla press that sends him flying
right down atop Brett!
Justice hops out of the ring to go after them, but Cross and Brett
swarm him with hard kicks and punches. Justice goes down after a short while
and both men roll him back into the ring. Cross quickly crawls over into a
cover, but Brett yanks him off before Jason Church can reach a one count.
Before Cross can react, Brett nails a knee to the midsection and
takes him down with a sidewalk slam. Justice gets back up to his feet, but
Brett kicks him in the gut and gives Justice the same treatment.
Brett takes a bit of a breather before going back to work on
Bishop Cross. He drives Cross back into a corner and lights up his chest with a
huge, open-hand chop. He nails another and the crowd groans in unison. Justice
gets back to his feet and runs at the corner to attack both men, but Brett
moves out of the way and Justice avalanches Cross down to the ground!
Justice turns around to find Brett waiting on him for a
clothesline, but he ducks under it. When Brett turns back around, Justice
delivers a kick to the gut and a massive Blind Justice powerbomb! Justice makes
a cover for one....two....but Brett is pulled out of the ring...by Dexter
Wellington!
Cross' music replays and he rolls out of the ring as Brett rolls
back in. Cross is announced the winner as
WINNER VIA PINFALL AT

SEGMENT 3: BACKSTAGE:
The scene opens up backstage, where Scott Cornelius is
standing by with the “Iceman” Jason Calysto, which prompts a loud cheer from
the crowd. His eyes contained a focus glare as Cornelius begins to speak.
Cornelius: First of all, I’d like to
welcome you back to the PWA, Jason. For the past two weeks, you had a jaw
injury that has kept you out of action, but here you are, just in time for the
Lethal Lottery at Temptation, and to compete in tonight’s 20-man battle royal.
Calysto: It was a long two weeks, Scott, but I’m definitely glad to be back.
Cornelius: And it’s great to have you back, Jason. Now as you know, the last
two men in the ring will become partners at Temptation, and these two men will
draw their opponents later tonight. What are your thoughts on that?
Calysto: I couldn’t have chosen a better time to make my return, because after
I become one of the last of the two men standing tonight, I’ll have my chance for
a shot at the Heavyweight title again. Rest assured, Scott, I feel more than
ready to get back into the ring and win it all, because when it’s time to shut
up and wrestle, nobody does it better than the Iceman.
Cornelius: Well, you heard it here folks. The Iceman is back and ready. Good
luck, Jason.
SEGMENT 4: BACKSTAGE:
A camera is set in the trainer's room, where the PWA
Champion Jaguar is in full ring gear, getting his fist and wrists taped as
Romeo walks in.
Jaguar: What's goin on man?
Romeo: I heard you were in here and I needed to get taped
up for my matches tonight.
Jaguar: Sure thing.
The trainer finishes up with Jaguar, who pounds his taped fist
into his palm as he takes over Romeo's wrists.
Jaguar: So you ready for your night? Your plate is full
bro.
Romeo: Yeah, but that's the way it’s gotta be. Actually,
I'm happy about it.
Jaguar: Yeah?
Romeo: Think about it. I've got a battle royal to win and
then a title match. What better way to prepare for Temptation than to do it
right here tonight? I'll just win both battle royals and win both titles in
less than a week. It's brilliant.
Jaguar: It is, except for that you taking my title part.
Romeo: Yeah, we'll see come Saturday.
Jaguar: I'm sure we will, but tonight is the night. We've
got all these people out here actually doubting us, saying The Hot Boy$ can't
get along, saying that we fell off. We've got something to prove tonight.
Romeo: Then we'll go out there and prove it. Tonight, we
take number nine.
Jaguar: Number nine indeed. Go win that battle royal cuz.
The Hot Boy$ pound fists and Jaguar grabs his belt before
leaving the room. The shot cuts back to Romeo who smiles in agreement as we cut
to a break.

SEGMENT 5: MATCH 2: PWA PROGRESSIVE CHAMPIONSHIP: DARRIN GILES © VS. RENEGADE:
Referee:
Jose Soares
“Control” by Earshot begins to play, and in the next moment, the
crowd immediately begins to jeer at the arrival of Darrin Giles and the
Legacy’s manager, Justin Schenck. With the Progressive title around his waist,
he makes his way to the ring while Schenck takes the time to taunt the crowd.
Darrin Giles climbs up the stairs and steps into the ring, before unhooking the
belt and holding it up high, raising the ire of the crowd who cannot stand to
see him with the belt any longer. Schenck is the only person applauding him, as
the crowd looks for a man to relieve Giles of the belt, in the form of Renegade
who comes out to “Renegade” by Jay-Z and Eminem. With cheers raining
down and the fans backing him up, Renegade stampedes down the ramp and slides
into the ring, blasting Giles in the side of the head with several right hands!
The battering causes Giles to drop his belt, which the
referee scoops up and hands to the timekeeper, which causes the bell to sound
promptly after. Renegade backs Giles into a corner and tries to whip him to the
other side, but Giles reverses it and torpedoes Renegade into the turnbuckle.
Giles follows it up and charges in, but Renegade plasters his face with a boot!
Giles stumbles back, but it leaves him open for a monstrous clothesline from
Renegade! The fans cheer loudly for this, but Schenck is flipping out on the
outside!
Renegade goes for the cover, but Giles kicks out at two.
Renegade remains unfazed and peels Giles off the mat, before proceeding to
pound him with a flurry of punches. Giles finds the will to battle forth, and
he slowly gains the upper hand. After backing Renegade into the ropes, Giles
slings him to the opposite side and bounces off the ropes himself. He looks for
a devastating clothesline, but Renegade ducks beneath the arm and
counterattacks with kick to the back of the head that sends Giles down hard!
Renegade looks out into the crowd and grins before calling for his finisher,
drawing the cheers of the crowd. As he does so, Schenck rushes over to the
timekeeper and rips the Progressive title away from him. Giles struggles to get
back to his feet as Renegade measures him up, but he fails to see Schenck roll
into the ring. The crowd is livid, but their cries are ignored when Schenck
mashes the belt into the back of Renegade’s head. He falls into a heap, and the
referee is appalled at this blatant interference. He throws the match out, and
Giles begins to stomp on Renegade’s prone body.
The bell continuously sounds, but it doesn’t stop Giles from punishing an
unconscious Renegade. Within moments of the disqualification, the Legacy in its
entirety swarms the ring and picks apart what’s left of Renegade. “Control”
plays once more, as the Legacy stands tall among the fallen wrestler.
WINNER VIA DISQUALIFICATION

SEGMENT 6: BACKSTAGE:
The crowd boos as a camera follows Jackie Baccaro walking through
the hallways. He turns a corner and GI Jew is heading his way eating sunflower
seeds, so the crowd sits in anticipation as Baccaro bumps into him, seemingly
with intent to.
Jew: It's funny. It almost looked like you meant to do
that.
Baccaro: Oh I meant to alright.
Jew: (Spitting a seed) Did you really?
Baccaro: Damn right I did. You see GI Jew, you and I,
we've got a problem.
Jew: (Spitting another seed) Do we?
Baccaro: We sure do, but I'll run that by you later. I've
got a battle royal to win tonight, furthering my destiny as the next PWA
Champion. But I hope to see you in the Lethal Lottery so I can deliver what
you've got coming to you.
Jew: Well whenever you feel froggy, go ahead and jump kid.
But I hope you realize you've already earned an ass whippin in that battle
royal tonight.
Baccaro: You're the one that doesn't realize Josh. You're
the one.
Baccaro turns and walks away as GI Jew nonchalantly chews and
spits out another sunflower seed, seemingly unfazed by Baccaro's comments.
Jew: (shaking his head) Kids.
SEGMENT 7:
BACKSTAGE:
The camera cuts backstage, where Hollywood Mike Griffin is warming
up, in the presence of agent Ari Greenstein, bodyguard Jonathan Brett, and
personal chef Lauren Tantalus.
Greenstein: Don’t worry Mike, you’ve got this.
Lauren: It could happen. Don’t underestimate him Mike. Greg is damn good, and could very well be standing
at the end of this battle royal.
All are in agreement, with Lauren in obvious discomfort,
as we take a commercial break.
