VERIZON WIRELESS ARENA

MANCHESTER, NEW HAMPSHIRE

SEGMENT 8: BACKSTAGE:
Back from commercial, Anthony Failla is seen entering the office of Commissioner Kerry Cox. Failla approaches Cox’s desk and the commissioner looks up.

Cox: Can I help you?

Failla: You can, as a matter of fact. I want a shot at the title.

Cox: Good for you. If you didn’t want a shot at the title, I’d be worried about you. That’s what everyone is here for.

Failla: I don’t have time for games, Cox. The one thing that can’t be argued is that I’ve been on a serious roll around here lately. Yeah, I got pinned by GI Jew on Saturday night, but for the last few months, I’ve taken down everyone I’ve faced, and I feel I deserve a crack at the championship.

Cox: Alright, well honestly Failla, I do somewhat agree with you that a title shot should be coming. There are a bunch of guys I feel the same way about though. What makes you any different?

Failla: Listen Cox, I’m not asking you for a shot, I’m here to ask you to relay a message. I’m putting out a challenge to Jaguar to come to my backyard, Madison Square Garden, next week and put the title on the line against me. I don’t even need to go through the long history Jaguar and I have. There was probably no fiercer rivalry in all of CAW than ours. I know he’s signed to face Romeo for the PWA Championship at Salvation, but according to my calendar, Salvation isn’t for another four weeks. So I want you to go to Jaguar and tell him that if he’s got the guts, I’ll be waiting for him next week in MSG to fight for his title. If he’s really a stand-up champion like he says he is, he’ll meet me one-on-one in the Garden for the belt. If he doesn’t show, then I guess he really is a bitch.

Cox: You sure you want me to give him that message?

Failla: Every word of it. I don’t expect him to accept. He’s a punk. Punks back away from challenges. But if he does, you’re looking at the next PWA Champion.

Cox: I guess we’ll see.

Failla then turns and exits, and Cox shakes his head.

Cox: (to himself) You know, in the shape Jag is in right now, Failla might be right.

SEGMENT 9: MATCH 3: VLADIMIR VYDRINA VS. THE OMEGA STEVE BEOVICH:
Referee: Matt Hansen

The action returns at ringside, where White Zombie's "More Human Than Human" begins to pump through the speakers. The fans cheer as The Omega Steve Beovich walks out, and the former two-time International Champion looks ready for action as he rolls into the ring and bounces off the ropes. "Exorcism" plays next, and the mood changes entirely as "Not That" Rodney King leads his quartet, comprised of International Champion Jon Dulberg, Natasha Vydrina and Vladimir Vydrina, down to the ring. Dulberg sports his title belt securely strapped around his waist, knowing it has no reason to leave its spot as Vydrina steps into the ring.

Troy: Vlad Vydrina is more than enough for any man to handle, but why does he need all of these people out here with him?

Ferrara: Think about it. Rodney is his manager, he has to handle all the promotion. Dulberg is his trainer, and Natasha is there to translate for him.

Troy: The match is already made, so there is nothing for Rodney to promote out here. Training is done in a gym, so Dulberg has no business out here. And nobody is giving a speech, so Natasha isn't needed either.

Ferrara: Well, she's smokin hot and that's reason enough!

The bell rings and Beovich stands across the ring from the menacing Vydrina, but he looks unfazed by the big Russian's mystique. They circle the ring and lock up, but Vydrina quickly hits him with a knee to the midsection. Instead of following up with another blow, Vydrina simply grabs Beovich by his singlet and slams him down hard on his back.

Vydrina backs up to the ropes and jumps up for an elbowdrop, but Beovich rolls away from it, sending him crashing into the canvas. Both men get up, but Beovich quickly floors Vydrina with a picture-perfect dropkick. Vydrina gets up again, but Beovich uses his low center of gravity to charge at him and down him violently with a double leg takedown!

The crowd cheers as Beovich rushes up the turnbuckles, looking for Extreme Precision. Instead of completing his normal frog splash, Beovich finds Vydrina already standing and he jumps, but lands right in the waiting arms of The Angel of Death, who grips him tightly in is signature bearhug. Vyrdina shakes Beovich like a ragdoll and The Omega waves his arms in the air, signaling his rapid submission!

Ferrara: Just like that, Beovich gave it up!

Troy: Alright, let him go now!

Vydrina squeezes tighter and tighter, causing Dulberg to laugh maniacally at his former partner's expense. King simply smiles and watches until Natasha calls for Beovich's release. Vydrina just throws The Omega down in a heap as blood begins to pour slowly from his mouth, a sure sign of internal injuries.

Ferrara: This is a scary, scary man Troy.

Troy: He has done this to numerous guys in the ring lately. I'm starting to think that nobody can stop him!

WINNER VIA SUBMISSION AT 5:03: VLADIMIR VYDRINA

SEGMENT 10: RINGSIDE:
The camera returns ringside, where “Samurai” by Juno Reactor hits and the Women’s Champion Keiko Ishida makes her way to the ring, accompanied by Walter Gindin, the fans booing loudly.

Troy: For those of you who might have missed Temptation on Saturday night, what you are seeing here is no illusion. Walter Gindin turned his back on Jade and is now representing the Women’s Champion Keiko Ishida.

Ferrara: Not only that, but I think Jade was well on her way to defeating Keiko for the gold when Gindin decided to switch clients. I guess we’ll never know what would have happened.

As they enter the ring and the fans quiet down, Gindin begins to speak.

Gindin: Bet you didn’t see that one coming, huh? Well folks, the bottom line is this. Walter Gindin associates with winners, with champions. Jade is neither. Jade is a has-been in this business, and she will never be at the top of the mountain again. However, what we have here is Keiko Ishida, the most dominant female superstar on the planet today. Keiko has gone through the entire PWA roster without breaking so much as a sweat. She is over two months into a title reign that, quite frankly, will never end. She is undefeated. And now, thanks to what took place on Saturday night, she has the one thing she has been lacking since she set foot here in the PWA: representation. With me at her side, Keiko Ishida will now carve her legacy as the most dominant female superstar of all time.

Ishida: I take down all comers. Jade, you are nobody. With Walter Gindin, I soar like rising sun, crushing competition like ants. I am unstoppable. I am invincible. I am champion.

As Keiko continues to speak, the fans cheer as Jade runs down to the ring with a chair! Jade swings the chair as she enters the ring, but Keiko and Gindin quickly escape. Jade stares them down as they backpedal up the ramp and “Zerospace” hits.

Troy: This war is not over!

Ferrara: Far from it!

SEGMENT 11: BACKSTAGE:
The camera cuts backstage, where GI Jew is doing squats, getting ready for the main event six-man tag team match, which is up next, when he is approached by a grinning Jackie Baccaro. Jew doesn’t notice him at first, but when he does, he gets up and gets right in his face.

Jew: Can I help you with something son?

Baccaro: First of all, I’m not your son. Second, you can. I’m here to give you a message. And yes, I know I’ll see you out in the ring in a few minutes, but I just couldn’t wait. The message is this: seven days. You have seven days until I personally clue you in on why we have a beef. And believe me, when you find out why, you are not gonna like it.

Jew: How bout you be a man and tell me right here, right now? Or are you too chickenshit for that?

Baccaro: C’mon now. Where’s the fun in that? I thought it would be much better to ruin your New York homecoming with paranoia. Because believe me, this is serious business. Don’t take this lightly. Next week, you’ll find out exactly what I’m talking about.

Jew: Whatever. See you in the ring.

Baccaro then nods to him and exits. Once he’s gone, Jew shakes his head.

Jew: (to himself) That little shit just bought himself a big time ass whoopin… right about now.

Jew then grabs his shades and exits the dressing room, headed for the ring.

SEGMENT 12: MATCH 4: THE ICEMAN JASON CALYSTO, SCYTHE & GI JEW VS. SOLOMON, BISHOP CROSS & JACKIE BACCARO:
Referee: Tom Stevens

 We return to the ring, where "Nightfall" by Akrobatik is playing Jackie Baccaro to the ring. Bishop Cross is already inside, and Baccaro enters to a chorus of boos that continue once his music ends and two cannons shoot icy blue fireworks into the air as Darkseed's "Hear Me" takes over. The crowd's booing easily reaches its apex as Walter Gindin leads the monstrous Solomon through the curtain and towards the ring.

Ferrara: I got to talk to Solomon earlier today, and let me tell you that The Alaskan Monster is more pissed off than he has ever been. Ever since losing the PWA Title at Revival, he came close to regaining it at Forsaken, then came close to winning the battle royal at Temptation, and now the title match for Salvation is already set. All that means every opponent that Solomon has is in big trouble.

Troy: He's had memorable wars against all three of his opponents tonight, and I'm sure this one will be another one.

Solomon climbs into the ring and the focus shifts back up the ramp as Linkin Park's "With You" begins to play. The lights flicker quickly in shades of black and white, and the entrance clouds with thick smoke as Scythe runs through it to a humongous ovation! Scythe points into the ring at Bishop Cross, who whispers something into the ear of Baccaro, who was his opponent at Temptation.

Troy: Scythe knows that Bishop Cross cost him a shot at the PWA Championship in their tag match at Temptation. He hit him with brass knuckles, basically giving the potential win away for whatever reason.

Ferrara: Cross said from the get-go that his main purpose was to make sure that Scythe never reached the top of the mountain again. That's exactly what he did in the Lethal Lottery.

Scythe removes his ring coat and headband and tosses them down on the ramp as "F*ckin In The Bushes" by Oasis hits next. The fans pop huge for The Iceman Jason Calysto, who looks all business as he marches his way down the ramp. He joins Scythe at the bottom of the ramp as Slipknot's "Opium of The People" hits. The fans roar as GI Jew rides through the entrance and parks with his bike facing the ring. He sheds his bomber jacket and looks to his partners before all three slide into the ring!

Combat begins with Scythe battling Cross, Calysto landing rapid blows on Baccaro, and GI Jew reeling Solomon with heavy gloved hands. Their opponents come back, but when the scuffling clears up, Solomon and Jew are left inside. The former tag team partners and current mortal enemies tear into one another with ferocious blows that see Jew gain the early advantage, but once he executes an Irish whip, Solomon nearly runs right through him with a clothesline! Solomon makes a cover, but Jew's shoulder shoots up at the count of two. Baccaro is begging for a tag on the apron, and Solomon gives him one.

Troy: Baccaro and GI Jew have had their problems recently, but Baccaro still won't say why he doesn't like the guy.

Ferrara: Who does?

Troy: I do, and the fans do.

Ferrara: Exactly.

Baccaro runs into the ring and delivers a vile kneedrop right to the head of the Grand Slam Winner. Jew holds his head, allowing Baccaro to apply an open chokehold that Tom Stevens demands to be broken by the count of five.

Baccaro picks GI Jew up and slings him into a corner before running at him. Baccaro lowers his shoulder, but Jew gets a boot up and Baccaro can't avoid it. the blow stands him up, allowing Jew to run forward and take him down with a neckbreaker of a clothesline.

Scythe waits for a tag and he gets it, allowing the modern-day samurai to pound away on the man who pinned him at Temptation. Baccaro gets up to fall down from a chop. Scythe repeats it again, and once Baccaro gets up a third time, he is floored with a Steamboat-esque double-hand chop! As the crowd cheers this, Scythe blasts a sleeping Cross with a right hand that knocks him off the ring apron!

Scythe turns around, but walks right into a massive belly-to-belly suplex, courtesy of Jackie Baccaro. The slam sends Scythe near his corner, allowing Calysto to make a tag, but before Scythe can catch his breath, Bishop Cross pulls him out of the ring and to the arena floor! Cross and Scythe immediately begin brawling at ringside while Calysto and Baccaro trade blows. The Iceman gets the better of Baccaro and knocks him down, but once he looks to land his spinning heel kick, he is clubbed from behind by Solomon!

Ferrara: What a shot by Solomon! I told you the guy was pissed.

Troy: Well so is GI Jew now!

Jew rushes into the ring to get at Solomon, but Stevens stands in his way. Looking for another option, Jew spots a rising Baccaro and catches him with a big Gore that sends him back down! Solomon charges at Jew, but Jew comes back at him with a Gore so deep that it sends them both reeling backwards through the ropes to the floor!

Scythe and Cross begin battling up the ramp, where Scythe manages to suplex Cross down onto the steel. Baccaro clutches his chest as he tries to get up, but as he does so, Calysto measures him up and then lays him out with his spinning heel kick!

Troy: We know what that means! This match is almost over!

Calysto points upward and heads to the top rope, waiting on Baccaro to rise. The Rookie of The Year staggers up again and turns around to find Calysto jump off and nail him with The Bottom Line! The clothesline sends Baccaro down to the mat hard and Calysto makes a quick cover for one....two....three!

Troy: Yes! Yes!

Ferrara: They had to triple team him!

Troy: Cut the crap Paul! Jason Calysto has just won this match with The Bottom Line and these fans are loving it! We'll see you next week from our home base, Madison Square Garden!

"F*ckin In The Bushes" replays and the crowd cheers as Calysto, GI Jew and Scythe all reconvene in the ring and raise their arms high in celebration as Frequency fades to black.
