A
video package airs on the Jumbotron, highlighting events that took place this
past Saturday night at PWA Temptation, where Solomon won the big 12-man battle
royal, only to be defeated by Jackie Baccaro in the PWA Championship match
immediately thereafer. From there, “By_Myslf” by
Hosemann: And what an event Temptation was,
Troy: Especially this audience, Scott. These Alaskans all thought their
hometown hero, Solomon, was about to reclaim the championship he lost two
months ago, but he fell short. Word has it that Walter Gindin was none too
happy with Solomon after the fact.
Hosemann: No, he definitely was not. Gindin felt that he had two shots to get
the job done, and he didn’t come out of it with the title. Gindin is still sore
at Solomon for what happened last week on Frequency, when he felt his men
should have emerged tag team champions. He blames Solomon for that loss, and
I’m sure he isn’t too happy that Solomon was beaten by Baccaro in the
championship match.
With that,
“War Machine” by KISS blares onto the speakers, and the fans erupt into
thunderous cheers as the PWA’s owner and CEO Kerry Cox makes his way to the
ring, accompanied by the PWA commissioner Paul Ferrara. Cox grabs a microphone
and the two enter the ring, quieting the crowd.
Cox: Hello
The fans
explode in thunderous cheers at the announcement.
Hosemann: We’re gonna have a 25-man battle royal right now, and a world title
match later tonight!!

* 25-MAN BATTLE ROYAL FOR A PWA CHAMPIONSHIP SHOT LATER TONIGHT *
Outside Referees: Jason Church, Billy Vargas, and Jose Soares
We return
from commercial with the fans cheering thunderously and “F*ckin in the Bushes”
by Oasis blaring over the speakers. The Iceman Jason Calysto makes his way to
the ring to a tremendous ovation. As the camera shows the ring, we see 23 men
already inside. We can see International Champion Showtime Damon Savage, Progressive
Champion Dexter P. Wellington, Tag Team Champions Paul Dawkins and Renegade,
James Biamonte, John Wolfe, Paul Epton, Soaring Phoenix, Greg Tantalus, Jaguar,
Romeo, GI Jew, Scythe, Bishop Cross, Hollywood Mike Griffin, The Miracle Mike
Troha, Jonathan Brett, Infernus, Darrin Giles, The Alpha Greg Price, The Omega
Steve Beovich, Loki, and Reaper in the ring as Calysto joins them. Then, the
roof literally blows off the Sullivan Arena as “Hear Me” by Darkseed explodes
onto the speakers and the Alaskan Monster Solomon makes his way to the ring.
Hosemann: I don’t believe this! This Alaskan crowd is showering Solomon with
cheers as he heads down to the ring! He is certainly receiving a hometown pop
tonight!
Troy: I knew he would get a big reaction tonight, by my God! This is insane!
Solomon
enters the ring and immediately starts attacking everyone in sight, as the fans
cheer wildly and the bell sounds to get this battle royal underway. The fans
are continuing to cheer thunderously, and within two minutes, we have our first
elimination, as Soaring Phoenix eliminates Paul Epton, who had tried to come
off the top rope.
Hosemann: He is certainly dominant, Troy!
Two
minutes later, the Tag Team Champions Dawkins and Renegade combine to eliminate
Loki. However, Solomon then grabs them both by the throat and launches them
both out, sending the fans into a frenzy! An even bigger frenzy breaks out
when, a minute thereafter, Solomon dumps both Scythe and Bishop Cross out at
the same time, as both were working over GI Jew! Then, Solomon lifts Jew up and
heaves him out as well!
Troy: My God, Scott, this is insanity!
That’s NINE eliminations by Solomon already!
Hosemann: And there have only been 11 eliminations,
About a
minute later, Progressive Champion Dex Wellington has his title shot hopes
crushed when he is eliminated by Jaguar. Jason Calysto then eliminates James
Biamonte half a minute thereafter, which is followed seconds later by Greg
Tantalus eliminating International Champion Showtime Damon Savage. However, the
Sullivan Arena comes alive once more a minute after that, when Solomon secures
his tenth elimination, disposing of John Wolfe!
Hosemann: Well Troy, he HAS eliminated TEN tonight, here in his hometown!
Elsewhere
in the ring, Mike Griffin charges at Mike Troha, but Troha ducks down and
backdrops
Hosemann: This is unbelievable!
Solomon
and Brett look at each other and agree to get rid of Jaguar and Tantalus first.
Brett knocks Tantalus down, and Solomon floors Jaguar, but Brett then
blindsides Solomon and eliminates him!
Hosemann: Jonathan Brett, Solomon’s stablemate, has just betrayed him, and now
Solomon is out of this thing!
The fans
boo raucously, and Solomon is furious. Solomon and Brett exchange words, and
this allows Jaguar and Tantalus time to get up and dump Brett out of the ring.
Brett and Solomon argue furiously, but referees break it up and Solomon walks
off, heading to the back alone. The fans continue to boo thunderously, until
they realize just Jaguar and Greg Tantalus remain in the ring, and they begin
cheering once more. Jaguar and Tantalus pound away on each other viciously,
each wanting badly to seize the championship opportunity. Jaguar pounds
Tantalus into the ropes, tying him up in the ropes. Jag then backs up and
charges him, hitting him with a clothesline. However, the momentum of the
clothesline carries both of them over the top rope and to the arena floor, with
both of their feet touching! The bell sounds, and the crowd sits in confusion!
Hosemann: I don’t know,
The
referees sit in confusion, with both Jaguar and Tantalus laying claim to a
victory. However, as they continue to argue, “War Machine” by KISS hits and the
fans begin cheering loudly as the CEO Kerry Cox makes his way to the top of the
ramp.
Cox: Alright, I just looked at the video
tape, and gentlemen, it is inconclusive as to exactly whom has won this battle
royal. So, in the interest of fairness, I have made a decision. Tonight, BOTH
of you will challenge Jackie Baccaro for the PWA Championship… in a triple
threat match!
Hosemann: Baccaro, Jaguar and Tantalus in a triple threat match for the PWA
Championship later tonight! I cannot wait!
The fans
cheer wildly as both Jaguar and Tantalus seem satisfied with the decision. “War
Machine” replays and Cox exits as we take a commercial break.
* CO-WINNERS: JAGUAR AND GREG TANTALUS *
-- COMMERCIAL
BREAK --
Back
from commercial, we see a furious PWA Champion tossing things around in his
dressing room, with his manager Vulture desperately trying to calm him down.
Vulture: Get a grip, Giacomo! It’s not
that bad!
Baccaro: It’s not that bad?! Did you see what just happened out there?! It was
bad enough that Cox was going to make me defend my title against the winner of
a battle royal tonight, but now he’s declared co-winners of the battle royal,
and I have to defend my belt against TWO men in a friggin triple threat match!
Do you know what that means?! It means that I don’t even have to be PINNED to
lose the title! AND it’s Jaguar and Tantalus to boot, the two guys who want to
tear my head off more than anyone else in this company!
Vulture: Calm down, man. Don’t get too stressed. We can make this work to our
advantage.
Baccaro: How in the HELL could we make this work to our advantage?!
Vulture: You’ve got to learn to think outside of the box, Giacomo. It’s a
triple threat match, yes, but both of these two are perennial world title
contenders. Whoever you pin tonight to retain the title will fall out of the
title picture. You can deal with them now to avoid dealing with them later. Now
c’mon, let’s go, I have a plan.
Baccaro: Where we going?
Vulture: Some place where these cameras can’t follow. C’mon.
With that, Vulture and Baccaro exit, and we take another commercial break.
-- COMMERCIAL
BREAK --
Back
from break, “Hear Me” by Darkseed explodes onto the speakers and the fans begin
cheering thunderously as the hometown hero and Alaskan Monster Solomon makes
his way to the ring. However, Solomon does not appear to be in a good mood as
he grabs a microphone and heads into the ring.
Solomon: First off, thank you all for
that wonderful ovation, and the one you gave me earlier. It does not go
unappreciated. But, onto serious business. You all saw what happened in the
battle royal. I was DOMINATING. I was destroying everyone who stood before me,
mowing them all down. And what happens? I am SCREWED by a man who is supposed
to be my stablemate, Jonathan Brett. And for what? The way I see it, Brett, you
have a lot of explaining to do, so get your ass out here RIGHT NOW!
The fans cheer, and moments later, “Quake 1” by Nine Inch Nails hits and
the fans begin booing loudly as Jonathan Brett makes his way to the ring,
accompanied by the man that manages both he and Solomon, Walter Gindin. Gindin
grabs a microphone and enters the ring with Brett.
Solomon: Walter, what’s going on here?
Gindin: What’s going on here? What’s going on here, Solomon, is that you needed
to be taught a lesson. I don’t know what’s gotten into you lately, but you
haven’t been treating Jonathan Brett as a partner, and haven’t been giving him
his fair shot. Frankly, it’s deplorable. It’s because of you that the two of
you aren’t wearing the tag team championship right now, and at Temptation, you
robbed Brett of his opportunity to go to the battle royal. Brett has told me
himself that he would have won that battle royal, and gone on to beat Jackie
Baccaro for the PWA Championship. What you did, Solomon, was only get half the
job done. You won the battle royal, yes, but you failed to win the PWA
Championship from Jackie Baccaro. No excuses, you simply were beaten. You used
to be a monster, Solomon. Now, you are a failure. You have lost far more than
you have won recently, and I think it’s time you stepped aside and let Jonathan
Brett be the leader of this stable. You’d be great in a supporting role, but
now it’s over. That’s why I support Brett in doing what he did. Because I
didn’t want to have to taste your failure again.
Solomon: Let me get this straight. You want ME to take a backseat to HIM? Are
you out of your mind?!
Gindin: No Solomon, I am of sound mind and sound body. You are a thing of the
past, Solomon. And it’s high time you learned some respect. I made you Solomon,
and if I have to, dammit, I will break you.
With that, Gindin slaps Solomon across the face! At that, Solomon becomes
enraged and grabs Gindin by the throat! Solomon begins strangling Gindin to the
joy of the crowd when he is attacked by Brett! However, Solomon begins
rebounding, grabbing Brett, booting him in the face, and then picking him up in
gorilla press position, launching him over the top! Gindin flees rapidly, and
the fans cheer thunderously as “Hear Me” overtakes the speakers!
Troy: Solomon! Solomon! Solomon has just
rid the ring of Gindin and Brett! I think Solomon just rid himself of Walter
Gindin!
Hosemann: This is unbelievable!
Troy: And these fans are loving it! Oh my!
Hosemann: They sure are, Troy!
Troy: Folks, we’ll be right back!
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Back from
commercial, the fans begin cheering as “Every Time We Touch” by Cascada hits
the speakers and Dee Licious makes her way to the ring, wearing a skimpy, sexy
red and white outfit with several hearts on it. Dee enters the ring, and
“Zerospace” by Kidneythieves hits, bringing out Jade, who is also wearing a
tight, alluring outfit, this one black and red, with broken, bleeding hearts.
Jade enters the ring and the bell sounds to start the match.
Troy: Alright folks, we’ve got this match
right now, signed by our commissioner Paul Ferrara, and if you know Paul the
way I do, the inclusion of this match on tonight’s show is not in the least bit
surprising. The premise, folks, is that Jade and Dee have an issue with each
other, and being Valentine’s Day, these two should settle their differences
wearing the skimpiest, Valentine-themed outfits possible.
Hosemann: Well, these fans seem to like it.
Troy: Can you blame them?
* VALENTINE’S DAY MATCH: DEE LICIOUS VS.
JADE *
Referee: Dan Martin
Dee and Jade charge at each other and Dee takes Jade down hard to start the
match, prompting the fans to cheer. Dee then lifts Jade up and whips her
against the ropes, but Jade reverses the whip, so hard that she launches Dee
over the top rope and out of the ring!
Hosemann: It looks like Jade, the
anti-Valentine, right now has the advantage over Dee, the Valentine.
Troy: She does, but it’s still early, Scott.
Dee climbs back into the ring and charges at Jade, downing her with a
clothesline. Jade gets back up and Dee begins punishing her with wild
knife-edge chops. Then, suddenly, Keiko Ishida storms down the aisle and, in
one swift motion, destroys Dee with a furious running STO! Then, Keiko turns to
Jade, and downs her with a charging running STO as well! The referee rings the
bell, throwing this match out, as Keiko grabs a microphone.
Keiko: What is this filth?! This is not
wrestling! This is crap! Wrestling is Keiko Ishida vs. Morgan Day, and
wrestling needs to happen again. Morgan Day, I beat you by count-out at
Forsaken. Then, at Temptation, you couldn’t pin me. You had to pin this filthy
ho Dee to keep your precious title. At Salvation, Morgan, there will be no
place for you to hide. I want a rematch against you, Morgan, and I want it
March 11 at Salvation in Australia.
Suddenly, “Dead Promises” by The Rasmus explodes onto the speakers and the
fans cheer thunderously as the PWA Women’s Champion Morgan Day makes her way to
the ring. Morgan grabs a microphone and heads into the ring.
Morgan: You want another shot, Keiko? I’d
be more than happy to oblige. Maybe I’ve only pinned you at Revival, but you
still failed to take the title from me in two subsequent opportunities. But, if
you want another shot at Salvation, I’ll give you that shot.
Keiko: That’s not all I want, Morgan. I want this match to be settled in the
ring. I want this match to have no count-outs, so that you can’t keep your title
in a loss.
Morgan: You want it? You’ve got it, Keiko. I will tear you to bloody pieces in
Australia.
Keiko: Just try it, Morgan. Just try it.
Morgan and Keiko commence a heated staredown as the fans cheer loudly.
Troy: We’re going to have Morgan Day and
Keiko Ishida one-on-one for the Women’s Championship March 11 at Salvation!
Hosemann: And there will be no count-outs!
Troy: It should be a barnburner! Stay with us folks, we’ll be right back!
* WINNER: NO CONTEST *
