VERIZON WIRELESS ARENA
SEGMENT 1: INTRODUCTION:
A video package airs, highlighting events that took place Saturday
night at Temptation, with Romeo winning the Lethal Lottery battle royal, only
to lose moments later in a PWA Championship to Jaguar via rollup. We are also shown the horrifying events that
took place at the close of that match, with Romeo shockingly turning on his tag
team partner, severely beating Jaguar and severing their relationship to the
disgust of the crowd. The opening credits then roll as
SEGMENT 2:
RINGSIDE:
Three D-Bombs whistle down and explode on impact with the
ramp, serving as the cue for B.G.'s "Hottest of
The Hot" to hit the speakers. Within moments, Romeo walks out into the Verizon Wireless Arena to easily the biggest set of boos he
has ever heard. Da Playboi
looks a bit stunned at his reception, but shakes his head and smiles as he
calmly walks down the ramp and into the ring. Romeo grabs a microphone and
tries to speak, but the crowd's jeering drowns him out completely as the
cameras capture images of several anti-Playboi signs.
Romeo: Alright, alright ya'll. I hear the boos. Now
could you all shut the hell up so I can get ou what I
need to say? (Crowd boos more) Fine. I'm the one with
the microphone. Now, after Temptation, all I'm hearing from the fans and the
boys in the back and even my very own family is why did you do what you did to
Jag? I wish I could come out here and say it was simple, but it wasn't. I did
what I did for a few reasons. Let me take you all back to December 7. I had
Solomon beaten for the PWA Title when I was screwed out of my opportunity to
win it. When my rematch should have been obvious, Solomon didn't grant it to
me, he issued a challenge out to my brother, which he accepted and rightfully
so. But look at what happened on December 14, just after he did that. Roll it fellas.
The focus shifts to the Jumbotron, where a clip from the
Romeo:
I just can't believe you would do that bro. You know that I deserve a rematch!
Jaguar: Yeah you do, but what difference does it make? If I win the belt, you'd
get the first shot anyway.
Romeo: You don't get it Jag. I want to be the guy to end that streak and take
the title!
Jaguar: Listen cuz, nobody is gonna challenge me to a
fight in my hometown to step on my name and watch me not take it. Title or no
title, I don't back away from that challenge, and you know that.
Cutting back to the live shot, Romeo stands shaking his head with
his hands on his hips.
Romeo: Now you just saw what he said. A selfish decision
by my boy, but I took that in stride. Now, let's go to January 4th, the first
episode of Frequency after Jag won the title. Roll that.
The footage begins to air as the crowd quiets again.
Romeo: But tonight
it’s time for me to step it up and take my title shot, even though I didn't
think I would have to go through 20 guys to do it.
Jaguar: Say what?
Romeo: Well if
memory serves me right, you said a few weeks ago that if you won the title, you
would give me the first shot. Now here we are in
Jaguar: Hold on cuz, you know how these things work. You know full well
that we can't just make our own matches. I did want to give you the first shot,
but the committee and Kerry Cox shot it down to make this match tonight.
Romeo: Well don't
worry about it. It’s nothing to sweat. I'll just go out there tonight and get
my shot anyway, whether the committee likes it or not. Cool?
Jaguar: Cool.
The clip ends and we are back with Romeo in the ring live.
Romeo: Well, well, well. You saw both of those clips and the
first guy to get a title shot on Frequency was not Romeo. It was Scott
Hosemann. Hell, I couldn't even get a title shot on the house shows! You heard
it and saw it, Jaguar lied to me! But that was alright. I didn't throw a fit. I
simply rose to my challenges. I won the battle royal on Frequency to get to
Seven Deadly Sins. In my first pay-per-view main event, I was set to leave
Romeo: And that term, Hot
Boy, I don't think you people know what thats all
about. Its not just a name, its a lifestyle. That song
we have, We On Fire, thats
what real Hot Boy$ do. Hot Boy$ don't gladhand and
kiss babies and run scared from dudes they know are better than them. Jaguar
shouldn't be the World Champion, but he sure ain't no Hot Boy. And speaking of him not being the World
Champion, thats why I'm out
here. Since I destroyed Jaguar at Temptation, he is unable to wrestle. When a
champion is unable to wrestle, he cannot defend his title. When he cannot
defend his title, the number one contender assumes onwership.
Hey, wait a minute, thats
me! (Crowd boos) Yeah, whatever. Kerry Cox, come on
out here and do the right thing.
"War Machine" by KISS brings The Commissioner out to a
favorable reaction, but Cox is also hearing some boos once a silver Halliburton
briefcase goes along for the ride to the ring.
Ferrara: Hey, what do you think is in that suitcase?!
Cox steps through the ropes and immediately grabs a microphone.
Cox: Now hold up Romeo. I know you're excited and all
about what is in this case, but right before we went live tonight, I got a
phone call from someone. Someone you know very well too. Since you got so much
use out of the Jumbotron earlier, I'm sure you won't mind us using it once
more.
Cox points to the Tron and the crowd
erupts once the live image of Jaguar pops onto the screen.
Romeo: What the--
Cox: Yeah, I didn't mention to you earlier that Jaguar was
released from the hospital in
Romeo: Well, it’s good to see you're up and mobile there
bro!
Jaguar: Cute, real cute. I hope you're proud of yourself
Romeo: Yeah, some of my best--
Jaguar: Hey, shut up, I'm talkin
junior! (Crowd cheers) And that rings true, doesn't it Romeo? Compared to me,
you have been the junior haven't you? You have been the little brother in the group,
haven't you? I know that eats away at you bro, but the only one making those
comparisons is you. Sure, I've been the PWA Champion 4 times. Since I started
in CAW, nobody has held more titles than I have and I'm proud of that. But you
know the reason why I've had that success and you haven't? It’s because I've
outworked you in every situation we've been in. We are the greatest team in the
history of this business and you threw that all away because you were
frustrated that you couldn't beat me for the title. And since you couldn't beat
me for the title, you wanted to injure me in order to get me stripped. It sucks
for me to say it, but you succeeded, I hope you're happy about it too. (Crowd
boos)
Jaguar: My doctors told me that I nearly had a concussion
last week on Frequency, but the powerbomb you gave me on a chair basically
bruised my brain. In terms so you can understand, I've got a concussion with
you to thank.
Romeo: And you're very welcome. So if you're done
now, hand me what’s in the briefcase and let's get this over with!
Cox: Alright, here you go.
Cox hands the briefcase to Romeo, who forces it open to find in
it....a sheet of paper.
Romeo: What the hell is this?!
Jaguar: Are we looking for this?
Jaguar picks up his gold belt from his sofa and holds it in front
of the camera as Cox speaks.
Cox: You see Romeo, Jaguar was right. His doctors have not
cleared him to wrestle....this week. He'll be back in action next week,
provided his doctors clear him, and since that is well within his
30-day rule, he will not be stripped due to his injuries. The sheet of paper
was mailed to me earlier today and it is an official contract.
Romeo: For what?! I should be the champion!
Jaguar: Kerry came to me while I was still in
Romeo: Alright Jag, you got it. Give me a pen. (Romeo
grabs a pen and signs the contract before looking back up at The Tron) I will meet you at Salvation, one-on-one to settle it
all. And on that night, I put all the critics to sleep and walk out The PWA
Champion!
Jaguar: You wanna question me
not being a Hot Boy? Come see me in
"Real Big" by Mannie Fresh
hits and Romeo seethes with anger, kicking the ropes madly as the crowd cheers
what they have just seen.

SEGMENT 3: MATCH 1: PWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: THE LOST SOULS © VS. PAUL DAWKINS & RENEGADE:
Referee:
Dan Martin
“Renegade” by Jay-Z and Eminem suddenly
plays, causing the fans to cheer loudly. Renegade
steps out onto the stage and raises his arms high to greet the crowd, before
proceeding down the ramp. He indulges in the wave of cheers he receives while
heading to the ring. After climbing inside of it, Renegade scales the
turnbuckles to pose for the audience. Moments later, “Black” by Sevendust
plays, sending the crowd into a frenzy. Paul Dawkins’
welcomes the ovation as he walks down the ramp. Once he rolls into the ring,
Dawkins pounds fists with Renegade, and the fans are ecstatic to see this.
The fans are drowned out by American Head Charge’s, “A Violent Reaction."
Boos are hurled at the Lost Souls, who appear from behind the curtain to meet
their opponents. With the belts wrapped around their waists, they merely ignore
the crowd, focused on retaining the titles once again. With their eyes locked
on both Dawkins and Renegade, the Lost Souls step into the ring before removing
the belts and raising them high into the air. The crowd boos even louder than
before, until they finally hand the belts to referee Dan Martin. Renegade and Reaper step out of the ring, leaving Speed Demon and
Dawkins to begin the match. The bell sounds.
Dawkins and Demon circle the ring and go in to lock up with each other, but
Demon makes contact with Dawkins’ stomach with a boot. With Dawkins’ hunched
over, Demon puts him into a headlock, wrenching at his neck. Dawkins’ shows no
signs of giving in though, and after several moments, Demon launches Dawkins
into the ropes. Once he returns, Demon hits Dawkins with a shoulder block.
Although Dawkins still stands, he appears stunned from the attack.
Seeing Dawkins’ dazed, Demon torpedoes him into a corner. Demon rushes in
himself, but Dawkins explodes on him with a clothesline out of nowhere! Demon
quickly gets back to his feet and charges at Dawkins, but he is taken back down
with an arm drag! After being shot across the ring, Demon rises up once again,
only to get his head taken off with a boot to the chin! Demon goes down in a
heap, and Dawkins goes back to his corner to make a tag to Renegade! He hurries
into the ring and attempts a cover, but Demon gets a foot on the ropes.
Renegade yanks Demon off the mat, but Demon breaks out of his grasp with a boot
to the stomach. Wasting no time, Demon plasters Renegade into the canvas with a sickening DDT! Demon stumbles back up to his feet after
the maneuver and makes the tag to Reaper, much to the chagrin of the crowd.
Reaper towers over Renegade and begins stomping at the back of his head.
Reaper wrenches Renegade off the mat and tosses him into the ropes. As Renegade
returns, Reaper looks to decapitate him with a huge forearm, but Renegade
scouts it and ducks beneath the clothesline, following it up with a devastating
drop kick! The fans go insane! Reaper stumbles back into the ropes and bounces
off them, and Renegade quickly regains his balance. He charges forward and
takes Reaper clean off his feet with a clothesline! With Reaper on the mat,
Renegade measures him up for the Kick of Death!
Ferrara: You might be right,
Justin Schenck runs down the ramp, and the crowd boos upon seeing him. He
stands at the foot of the ring, and the referee catches wind of this. He
hurries over to reprimand Schenck, who attempts to get into the ring after
getting on the apron.
The Naturals enter the area from the crowd, and Greg Price takes out Dawkins on
the apron, while Kris Anthony slides into the ring with a chair and levels Renegade with the steel! Renegade crumbles to the mat as the
Naturals make their hasty escape, and Schenck hops off the apron once the deed
is done. The referee turns around, just in time to see Reaper drape an arm over
Renegade. He makes the count. One. Two.
Three.
Ferrara: I have no idea, Troy, but I can tell you this right now. Dawkins and
Renegade will want to find out why as well.
“A Violent Reaction” plays once again as the Lost Souls are
awarded their belts, confused at the circumstances themselves. They exit
the ring, leaving behind Dawkins and Renegade lying
flat on their backs.

SEGMENT 4: BACKSTAGE:
The Lost Souls are found returning to their locker room
backstage fresh after a victory, until The Naturals and Justin Schenck abruptly
cut off their path. Schenck wears a conniving grin.
Schenck: That was some performance out
there, wouldn’t you say, Lost Souls?
Demon and Reaper glance at each other before turning back to Schenck. They
stand in awkward silence.
Schenck: You could say “thanks,” you
know.
Demon: ... For what?
Schenck: Oh, well you’re very welcome. In fact, I just thought of a way that
you could repay us.
Demon: ... For what?
Schenck: Yes, it’d be perfect! For helping you keep the titles against
Dawkins and Renegade, you could thank us with a title shot!
Reaper: First of all, we never wanted your help. We had things well under
control. You just volunteered.
Demon: And second, I remember when you had the titles and didn’t give us a
shot.
Schenck: Well, that was because...
Before Schenck can come up with an excuse, Renegade storms the backstage
area and attacks the Naturals, prompting an all out brawl! After several
moments, Officials hurry onto the scene to break up the outrage, while the Lost
Souls not looking to get themselves involved. They turn to leave, causing
Schenck to lose the opportunity to negotiate with them.
SEGMENT 5: BACKSTAGE:
The camera cuts backstage, where Greg Tantalus is talking to a
technician. However, as he is talking,
he is approached by the contingent of Hollywood Mike Griffin, Ari Greenstein, Jonathan Brett, and a detached-looking
Lauren Tantalus. Greg is unaware of
their presence until they begin laughing at him.
Tantalus: Listen
Lauren: Mike, just leave him alone.
Brett: I’d snap him in half.
Tantalus: You’ve got to be kidding
me.
Brett: Name the time and place.
Tantalus: Next week, MSG. I normally don’t waste my time with stupid
bodyguards, but I’ll make an exception this time.
Brett: You just signed your death
warrant.
Tantalus: Whatever. I’ll see you next week, Brett. And I’m bringing pretzels.
With that, Greg Tantalus walks away and Jonathan Brett
nervously turns to

SEGMENT 6: RINGSIDE:
"Da Repercussions" by 50 Cent
suddenly plays, and the crowd throws jeers at the former International
Champion, Mike Grieco. He marches down the ramp, followed at a distance by Dee
Licious. They head into the ring, and Grieco snatches a mic
from the side. He doesn’t even wait for the crowd to die down, as they attempt
to boo him out of the ring.
Grieco: I feel that tonight will be a
good night. I realized that I was sidetracked for a while, but now that the
Lethal Lottery is over, it’s time for me to claim my rematch and regain my
International Championship. Now that there’s nothing else to get in my way, I
can focus on taking back what belongs to me. I just feel ashamed that some
loser has his hands on my belt, but I intend to correct a terrible mistake and-
"Not Falling" by Mudvayne hits and Jon
Dulberg arrives to a highly negative reaction. The International Champion
stands on the ramp with the belt wrapped around his waist, and a microphone in
hand. The Human Highlight walks down the ramp and heads into the ring before
talking.
Dulberg: I don’t know what makes you think that you can just claim a rematch,
much less challenge me for my belt, because you don’t deserve a title shot. In
fact, nobody on the roster deserves a shot at the International Champion,
because no one has proven to be even remotely equal to the Human Highlight.
Grieco begins to give an agitated response, but he is drowned out by Sevendust’s “Black.” The crowd cheers wildly for Paul
Dawkins, who also heads to the ring with a microphone of his own. Dawkins steps
inside and stares at both Grieco and Dulberg.
Dawkins: Dulberg, did I just hear you say that no one was deserving of a title
shot? Because if I recall, you got pinned at Temptation.
I’m sure you remember that night. Do you also remember who pinned you? That’s
right, it was me! But I think you’re right. My wrestling ability is not
remotely equal to you, if only for the simple fact that they’re way above
yours! If anyone deserves a title shot, it’s me!
As they all continue to argue, KISS’ “War Machine” plays, and the fans blow
the roof off for the Commissioner Kerry Cox. He stands on the stage, carrying a
microphone in tow.
Cox: Alright, I think I’ve heard enough, and I believe I have a solution. Mike
Grieco, Paul Dawkins, you both have reasons for your shots at the International
title. Therefore, I think that it’s best that we settle this next week. In
The fans cheer wildly at this announcement, and “War
Machine” begins to play again. Cox turns to leave, and Dulberg also makes his
exit. However, Grieco and Dawkins are left standing in the ring, locked in a
stare down as we fade to a commercial.

2: DEXTER P. WELLINGTON VS. JUSTICE:
Referee:
Jose Soares
"Where Da Hood At" by
DMX begins to play, bringing the crowd's excitement up as Justice steps out
through the curtain. The former Progressive Champion looks ready for revenge as
he power walks down to the ring and steps inside. Mozart's
"Marriage of Figaro" plays next, bringing a
wave of boos for Dexter P. Wellington as his butler, Winston, leads him towards
the ring. Winston carries a glass of brandy in one hand and a bottle of wine in
the other, perhaps hoping for early celebration, but it nearly spills once
