SUPERDOME

SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA

 

SEGMENT 1:  INTRODUCTION:

A video package airs, highlighting events that took place last week on Frequency, with PWA owner Bryan Conroy returning with Helen Summers, president of the Organization of Responsible Advertisers, to set up a new World Championship once the PWA title is returned to Jaguar.  They crowd Anthony Failla the first ORA-recognized World Champion.  Later in the night, Failla teamed with Romeo and Hollywood Mike Griffin to defeat Jaguar and Greg Tantalus in a handicapped match, which saw Griffin pin Tantalus again, this time just seven days before they were to meet head-to-head for a shot at Failla’s world title.   The opening credits then roll as Linkin Park's "By_Myslf" hits and we are sent inside the Superdome in Sydney, Australia, where an amazing fireworks display ensues and we are sent to our commentators, Victor Troy and Paul Ferrara.

Troy:  Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to PWA Frequency!  I’m Victor Troy, along here with Paul Ferrara, and tonight, for the very first time, Frequency is live from down under!  That’s right, we are here at the Superdome in Sydney, Australia, and it’s going to be something else tonight!

Ferrara:  It sure will, Troy, and I personally cannot WAIT for what we’re about to see tonight!

Troy:  We have a big double main event for you tonight folks, as Hollywood Mike Griffin faces Greg Tantalus for the right to challenge Anthony Failla for the ORA World Championship Saturday night at Salvation, and we will also see, in six-man tag team action, PWA World Champion Jaguar team with Jason Calysto and Scythe to meet Romeo, Solomon and Bishop Cross!

Ferrara:  I’ve also been told, folks, that we’re going to see, live via satellite from Los Angeles, a press conference between Evander Holyfield and Vladimir Vydrina, just four days before their 10-round exhibition boxing bout at Salvation!

Troy:  It should be a tremendous show tonight, folks, but let’s kick things off right now with some Women’s Championship action!

SEGMENT 2:  MATCH 1:  PWA WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP:  KEIKO ISHIDA © VS. CAMIEKO VS. JADE:
Referee:  Dan Martin

Zerospace” by Kidneythieves plays for the Superdome, and the crowd gives it up for Jade, who acknowledges their welcome. Jade indulges in their cheers, although knowing the task that stands before her. As soon as she enters the ring, Aaliyah‘s “Hot Like Fire” blasts through the speakers, drawing even more cheers for the Hot Girl, Camieko. She walks down the aisle, tagging the hands of the audience on her way to the ring. Camieko climbs into the ring and meets with Jade. They stare at each other briefly before nodding, and both women pose on the turnbuckles.

Troy: Camieko and Jade have been getting rather close lately, due to a common goal in defeating Keiko Ishida.

Ferrara: Even if that’s the case, this is still a Triple Threat match. There’s no such thing as an ally here.


“The Stone Monkey” by Kazu Matsui suddenly plays, and jeers flood the arena as the Women’s Champion arrives to brand-new entrance music. Keiko Ishida looks out into the crowd and sneers as they boo at her, before she begins her march to the ring. Once she reaches the ring and steps into it, Ishida locks eyes with both Camieko and Jade. Ishida is aware of them as she removes her belt and hands it to the ref, who signals for the bell to ring.

Troy: Ishida, whether you like her or not, has been a very impressive competitor, but now she’s up against two people trying to take her belt. She hasn’t been in this situation before.

Ferrara: You can tell that it’s on her mind. Look at how careful she is.

Ishida looks from left to right to prepare herself, and Camieko and Jade glance at each other. The pair attempt to bum rush Ishida, but she quickly removes herself from the ring. The Champion paces around on the outside, but the referee demands her return. When she refuses to comply, Camieko slides out of the ring and gives chase to Ishida, who races around the ring. She finds an escape from her pursuer by sliding into the ring, but Jade is there to drop an elbow into her back. Camieko re-enters the ring, and Ishida is no match for a two-on-one attack. Ishida is forced back into a turnbuckle, where Camieko and Jade take turns stomping her into the corner much to the delight of the crowd!

Troy: Things aren’t looking very good for the Champion.

Ferrara: Doesn’t take much to figure that out.

Jade backs off as Camieko picks up Ishida, and she fires her into the ropes. Ishida hits the cables, but Camieko and Jade charge in like a freight train and double clothesline Ishida over the top! Cheers rain down as the Champion tumbles out of the ring. The two women look outside, and when they see that Ishida isn’t moving, they stare at each other.

Troy: The Women’s Champion is out of it!

Camieko and Jade nod to each other, knowing that it must come down to this. They lock up immediately, and Jade manages to get Camieko into a headlock. However, Camieko falls back and bounces off the ropes, shoving Jade off. She is forced to return, and Camieko is waiting with a drop toe hold that sends Jade flat on her face. She lifts Jade back up and flattens her with a suplex. Camieko drags the prone Jade over to a corner and signals out to the crowd!

Troy: She’s going to the top rope! We’re going to see a new Champion!

Ferrara: If Camieko hits the splash, it’s all over!

Camieko begins her ascent and takes her position on the top, smelling victory only moments away. She takes flight, but Jade rolls away and narrowly escapes defeat! Camieko hastily stumbles back to a vertical base, but Jade is there to catch her with the Side Effect! Jade gets back to her feet, but before she can even go for the pin cover, Ishida rushes back into the ring and with a running start, destroys Jade with a vile STO. Jade doesn’t even know what hit her when Ishida hooks the leg. One. Two. Three.

Troy: Jade had this won, but Ishida hit that running STO out of nowhere!

Ferrara: And even in a Triple Threat, she still came out on top! I’m telling you,
Troy, nothing can stop her!

“The Stone Monkey” hits once more as Ishida is awarded her belt, and the crowd sits in stunned silence. The Champion raises the belt high before leaving the ring. As she walks up the ramp, Jade struggles to rise to her feet. Seeing the results, a scowl grows on her face.
WINNER VIA PINFALL AT 4:48 AND STILL WOMEN’S CHAMPION:  KEIKO ISHIDA

SEGMENT 3:  BACKSTAGE:
We return inside of a locker room, where Paul Dawkins and Renegade are conversing as they prepare for their match.

 

Renegade: It really is something man. Think about it. We entered this company together as a good tag team, but we never had what it took to get over that hump and earn Tag Team gold. But on Saturday night, the two of us have a chance to erase all of that.

 

Dawkins: I've been a tag champion already, but nothing would make me feel better than you and I each going to Salvation and walking out of there as the International and Progressive Champions on the same night.

 

Voice: Is that so?

 

Dawkins and Renegade turn around and the indoor crowd pops loudly once they see the long blond hair of Liz Rush flowing as the popular female superstar beams with a smile. Rush and Dawkins quickly embrace before conversing.

 

Dawkins: Liz.....Liz, what are you doing here?

 

Rush: My doctors finally cleared me to be able to fly, you know how surgery recovery messes that up. But anyway, they said I was now able to fly, so I hopped on a plane here to Austraila. I love this place.

 

Dawkins: Well I'm glad you're here. But how are you feeling? Is everything okay? How long are you gonna be in the country? Can I --

 

Rush: Paul, Paul, stop worrying. I'm feeling fine and I'll be here for the remainder of the tour. I'll be in L.A. for Salvation too, but let’s not worry about any of that. I just wanted to say thanks for all that you've done for me since I got hurt. I loved all of the flowers and nobody called me more than you. I really needed that, so thanks a million.

 

Dawkins: Oh, don't mention it at all. I'm just glad to see you're okay.

 

Rush: Well I know you have a match, so I'm gonna go make my rounds and see what the crew is up to. We'll meet up after the show?

 

Dawkins: Oh, no doubt.

 

Rush: Then I'll see ya.

 

Dawkins: See ya.

 

Rush turns to exit and Dawkins keeps his eyes fixated on the door as she walks away, that is until Renegade snaps his fingers in front of his face, unable to hide his chuckles.

 

Renegade: I hate to break your pimpin loverboy, but we've gotta get to the ring.

 

Dawkins: Shut up man.

 

Both men shake their heads in good spirits as they leave the room and make their way towards the squared circle.


SEGMENT 4:  BACKSTAGE:
The shot cuts to another backstage area, where Mike Grieco is stretching as Dee Licious looks on.

 

Grieco: I can't wait for this eight-man tag tonight Dee. Tonight, I send a message that will be loud and clear. At Salvation, I'm going to go on and reclaim my International Title and that will set everything straight around here.

 

Dee: I'm sure you will Mike, but I've got a question for you.

 

Grieco: Make it quick, I'm trying to get focused here.

 

Dee: What do you think about me getting back in the ring?

 

Grieco: Getting back in the ring? We don't have a mixed tag, I'm tagging with three guys tonight.

 

Dee: No, no Mike. I mean as a singles wrestler. You know, getting back into the Women's division. I think if I got back in the ring and got back to beating girls like I always did, I can take out that Keiko Ishida chick.

 

Grieco: (Laughing) Are you serious? (Stops laughing) Well, I guess you are serious. Listen Dee, we need to keep the focus on one thing right now and that is me regaining the International Championship. That means you can't be off doing your own thing while I'm dominating around here. Your place is not in that ring anymore, it’s by my side as I go down in history as the greatest International Champion of all time. Got it?

 

Dee: Well---

 

Grieco: (Cutting her off) Good! Now pass me the oil.

 

Dee couldn't look more annoyed as she passes Grieco a bottle of baby oil. Grieco rubs the oil over his muscular arms, gleaming from ear to ear in front of a mirror as Dee stares off in the opposite direction.

SEGMENT 5:  MATCH 2:  PAUL DAWKINS, RENEGADE, DEAN NASH & DAMIEN FIELDS VS. INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION JON DULBERG, PROGRESSIVE CHAMPION DARRIN GILES, MIKE GRIECO & SUPERSTAR SCOTT HOSEMANN:
Referee:  Jose Soares

Boos pour from the audience when Earshot’s “Control” plays, and Justin Schenck leads Scott Hosemann and Progressive Champion Darrin Giles down the ramp. Seeing that this is a good opportunity for his camp, Schenck wears a smirk on his face. He takes his place on the outside while Giles and Hosemann step into the ring. While Giles hands his belt to the ref, "Da Repercussions" by 50 Cent starts up, and Mike Grieco receives his fair share of jeers. He is accompanied by Dee Licious, and they head towards the ring with the crowd attempting to boo them out of the building. Grieco enters the ring and poses briefly while Dee waits on the outside, and "Not Falling" by Mudvayne hits, and the jeers only increase in volume when the International Champion Jon Dulberg arrives on the scene. Looking all business tonight, he power walks to the ring and rolls inside of it. Once inside, he and Grieco share a glance, and they nod to each other. The International Champion hands his belt to the referee.

Troy: This is a huge eight man tag match. Jose Soares needs to be alert to keep things in order here.

Ferrara: It’s definitely not going to be easy, especially with these eight guys. Anything can happen.

The Prodigy's "Spitfire" plays next, finally giving the crowd something to cheer for. Dean Nash and Damien Fields make their appearance, and they indulge in the welcome that they receive from the crowd. They reach the bottom of the ramp and look up at their opponents, who stand ominously over them in the ring. It isn’t long before “Black” by Sevendust fires up, and the crowd becomes wild when Paul Dawkins and Renegade come out from behind the curtain. They raise their arms high while walking down the aisle. Once they reach the bottom and greet their partners for the night, all four men charge into the ring and an enormous brawl explodes!

Ferrara: So much for control!

Troy: The ref needs to get in there!

Renegade does battle with Darrin Giles, Nash and Fields double team Hosemann, and both Dulberg and Grieco pick a fight with Dawkins. The team of Nash and Fields push Hosemann into a corner and begin to pummel him with fists, until Schenck climbs up on the apron and snaps Fields down across the top cable. Hosemann is able to battle back with Nash, and an angered Fields slips outside to give chase to Schenck. Hosemann manages to knock Nash to the outside, before exiting himself to assist his manager. Renegade continues his war with Giles, and when the Progressive Champ sees his manager in need of help, Renegade takes advantage of his distraction and launches him to the outside!

Ferrara: They’re dropping like flies!

Grieco and Dulberg fires Dawkins into the ropes, but Dawkins erupts on them with a violent double clothesline that turns them inside out! Dawkins goes to work on Grieco while Dulberg rolls himself out of the ring. The referee, however, is still unable to gain control. Renegade and Giles have it out on the arena floor, while Nash and Fields continue to hold their own against Hosemann and Schenck. Dulberg slips to the side and tears his belt away from the timekeeper.

Troy: This match is way out of hand.

Ferrara: What’s Dulberg doing?!

As the referee continues in his futile attempt to regain control, Dulberg rolls back into the ring. While Dawkins and Grieco beat each other senseless, Dulberg blindsides Dawkins by plastering his head with the heavy gold. Dawkins stumbles at first, but falls flat on his back. Dulberg quickly rushes out of the ring and Grieco grabs the ref to gain his attention. When the ref turns around, Grieco cockily pins the prone Dawkins, and with the crowd shouting obscenities, the ref counts. One. Two. Three.

Troy: Oh, that’s just...

Ferrara: Let me just stop you right there, Troy. The ref never saw it.

Troy: That doesn’t make it right!

Da Repercussions” plays once more, and a grinning Mike Grieco stands tall, hovering over Dawkins. Dee and Dulberg enter the ring to celebrate their victory over their opponent at Salvation.
WINNERS VIA PINFALL AT 9:12:  JON DULBERG, DARRIN GILES, MIKE GRIECO & SUPERSTAR SCOTT HOSEMANN

SEGMENT 6:  RINGSIDE:

Back from commercial, Slipknot’s “Opium of the People” blasts onto the speakers and the fans begin cheering loudly as GI Jew makes his way to the ring.

Troy:  GI Jew does NOT appear to be in a very good mood here tonight, Paul.

Ferrara:  Well, if you were set up the way he was last week, Troy, would YOU?

A scowl etched on his face, Jew grabs a microphone and begins speaking.

Jew:  I’m not about to waste any time here.  Baccaro, Vulture, get your asses out here right now!  I’m sick of the talking, sick of the games, you two are gonna get your asses beaten to a bloody pulp right here in
Australia!  Vulture, if you had a problem with me, I’ve been right here since May.  All you had to do was come up to me and we’d settle it like men.  You wanna know why I didn’t apologize?  Because this ring is a war zone.  You stepped in it with me, and you got hurt.  Stop whining about it.  Shit happens.  Deal with it.  But see, now you’ve crossed the line.  You and your little puppet.  So I’m not gonna say another word.  Get your asses out here now.  I’m not waiting until Salvation.

Moments later, after an elongated silence, a smiling Vulture and Jackie Baccaro, decked out in sunglasses and Armani suits, appear on the Jumbotron.

Vulture:  Oh GI Jew… over here.  That’s right.  Now, if you couldn’t tell, we’re not in the building tonight.  Didn’t see any reason for it.  Cameraman, pan back.

The camera pans back, revealing a very snowy
Central Park in Manhattan.

Vulture:  See that? 
Central Park.

Jew:  I know what
Central Park is, you jackass.

Vulture:  Whatever.  We’re here for a reason.  This place is the picture of serenity in the daytime, when the weather is nice.  People walking around, playing Frisbee, having picnics… hell, it’s so peaceful, the Dalai Lama spoke here about a year and a half ago.  Such a great environment that I even sat on these benches conceptualizing my brand-new psychological thriller short story, The Illusion of Reality, which is available for purchase now at the PWA Online Store.

Jew:  Do you have a point, or did you just come out here to plug your book?

Vulture:  I guess it’s a little of both.  But see Josh, the point of this is that what do you see now?  The park is empty.  The conditions got harsh, and people stopped coming.  The beauty is still here, but people couldn’t handle the storm.  That’s gonna be you, Josh.  You’re a great wrestler, when the conditions are right.  But when the storm hits, you crumble.  Ask Solomon.  Come Saturday, you’ll be hit with a storm far worse than this.  It’ll be you against Jackie Baccaro, the greatest physical specimen the PWA has ever seen.  You might have a big heart, but with me in Baccaro’s corner, there’s no way you’ll be still standing when the storm hits.

Baccaro:  GI Jew, prepare to be embarrassed by someone you feel isn’t on your level.  You may be a grand-slam winner, but I’m twice the athlete you’ve ever been, even before all your injuries.  And yes, I know all about your injuries.  So you know what?  Stay angry.  Stay enraged.  The more you do, the easier you’re making this for us.  See you in my hometown, punk.

Vulture:  Rest up Josh.  Saturday’s right around the corner.

The feed then cuts out and we cut back to an enraged GI Jew in the ring, who stares violently at the Jumbotron as we go to commercial.

SEGMENT 7:  MATCH 2:  HOLLYWOOD MIKE GRIFFIN VS. GREG TANTALUS:
Referee:  Matt Hansen

We return to ringside, where the camera is at the announce table as the ORA's Helen Summers adjusts her headset next to Paul Ferrara.

 

Troy: Welcome back folks, but we'd also like to extend our welcome to the spokesperson of the ORA, Ms. Helen Summers. What brings you out here tonight Helen?

 

Summers: First of all, I'm not just a spokeswoman, I am the president of the Organization of Responsible Advertisers. Now that you have been issued your correction, I am out here to see which of these two great athletes will move on to Salvation to face our champion Anthony Failla in his first title defense. Is that good enough for you Mr. Troy.

 

Troy: It is, but may I ask about your so-called champion's whereabouts this evening?

 

Summers: Very simple. Anthony Failla has been given the night off to rest up for his big match at Salvation. Mike Griffin and Greg Tantalus are competing for the right to face him, not the other way around.

 

The focus shifts up to the entrance as the arena goes dark. Only a mix of green, red and blue lights flicker as "Heaven's A Lie" by Lacuna Coil begins to play. The crowd goes crazy as Greg Tantalus appears at the top of the ramp and marches down. He climbs into the ring and poses on the turnbuckles before quickly turning his attention back to the entrance as Tool's "Parabola" plays next.

 

The crowd reaction is a totally opposite one, as the crowd boos rabidly for the arrival of Hollywood Mike Griffin. Griffin is flanked by Jonathan Brett and Lauren Tantalus, who stand behind him as he throws his arms into the air to summon his majestic red, white and blue fireworks display. Griffin then makes his way down the ramp and disrobes outside of the ring near Brett, now allowing Tantalus the opportunity to ruin his entrance in the ring.

 

Troy: What's your call on this one Paul?

 

Ferrara: Are you serious Troy? I have been telling you for weeks now that Greg Tantalus simply cannot beat Mike Griffin. We've seen it over and over again, why should tonight be any different?

 

Troy: And you Ms. Summers? 

 

Summers: As the President of the ORA, I should remain completely impartial, but Mr. Ferrara speaks the truth. Both are fantastic wrestlers, but I'm giving the nod to Hollywood just because he isn't a disgusting pervert like his opponent.

 

Griffin hands his robe to the ring attendant and slowly climbs up the ring steps as the bell sounds. Greg Tantalus goes right after him in a collar-and-elbow tie-up that quickly finds Griffin backed into a corner. Matt Hansen calls for a clean break and Tantalus thinks about it before obliging, but he takes a bit too long as Griffin decks him with a cheap shot.

 

Tantalus bounces right back up and tackles Griffin down before bringing the crowd to their feet with a flurry of rights and lefts to his head. Griffin fights him off, but Tantalus keeps the pressure on by clotheslining him down twice. Griffin gets back to his feet, but walks into a big scoop slam before Tantalus hits the ropes and nails a vile kneedrop to the forehead. Tantalus covers for one....two....and Griffin kicks out of it.

 

Tantalus waits for Griffin to rise before hitting the ropes again, but he's tripped from the outside by Brett. Brett poses for the crowd to boo until Tantalus reaches out and grabs him by the hair. The distraction gives Griffin ample time to run up behind his former partner and blast him with a huge release German suplex!

 

Ferrara: Whoa, he dropped Greg right on his head!

 

Griffin shakes the cobwebs from his head and lifts Greg Tantalus up instead of opting for a pin attempt. He backs Tantalus into a corner and lights his chest up with a knife-edge chop before whipping him hard to the other end. Tantalus stumbles out a bit and Griffin comes back at him with a dropkick that sends him through the ring ropes, at the feet of his sister.

 

Troy: Nice dropkick by Griffin, but it doesn't look like Lauren was too excited about it.

 

Ferrara: She's been gone for a few weeks, but I'm sure that everything is okay with her. She is back tonight to see her brother get exactly what he deserves.

 

Lauren backs away as Griffin rolls Tantalus back into the ring for a cover. He only gets a two count in a close call by Hansen. Griffin demands a faster count, citing he has a party to get to. He heads back to Tantalus, but before he can lift him, he is trapped in a small package! Hansen counts one...two....and Griffin barely kicks out before three!

 

Griffin rises quickly and charges at Tantalus, but The Smooth One scouts it and lifts him up before snapping him neck-first across the top rope in a hot shot! Griffin is stood up by the impact and Tantalus kicks him in the midsection before hooking his arms up and blasting him down on his head in The G-Spot!

 

Troy: That's it! Tantalus just connected with The G-Spot!

 

Summers: Likely the only time he hears that.

 

Ferrara: Ouch!

 

Tantalus makes a lateral press for one....two.....thr-but Hansen is yanked out by Brett! The official is dropped hard on the arena floor, rendering him useless as Brett scampers into the ring. Tantalus gets off the cover, but runs right into a huge boot to the face from Brett! Brett then scoops Tantalus up and drills his former TFU stablemate with a big Samoan Driver!

 

Troy: Damn that Jonathan Brett! Greg Tantalus had this match won!

 

Ferrara: But now both men are down!

 

Summers: Eh, count them both out.

 

Brett makes his escape as Hansen begins to stir outside the ring. Griffin crawls over to make a cover and the official counts one....two.....thre-but Tantalus' shoulder shoots off the mat to a roar from the capacity crowd!

 

Troy: No! Greg Tantalus won't give in here!

 

Both men get to their feet as Griffin runs up for a clothesline, but Tantalus ducks it and takes him down with a short clothesline of his own. Tantalus is calling for The Big O to finish the match, but before he can nail it, Lauren steps into the ring and smacks him right across the face!

 

Ferrara: Whoa, what a shot!

 

Troy: What the hell was that for?!

 

Summers: Likely for calling a move The G-Spot.

 

Hansen gets in her face as Greg Tantalus and the crowd sit in disbelief, but Lauren ignores his warning and does it again, prompting Hansen to call for the bell! Greg Tantalus holds his face as Griffin comes to a knee and Lee Palmer gives the official announcement.

 

Palmer: Matt Hansen has informed me that due to disqualification, the winner of this match and number one contender for the ORA Championship is....Greg Tantalus!

 

Ferrara: Say what?!

 

The crowd goes nuts with excitement and Griffin blows a gasket once he hears the announcement. He runs right up to Lauren Tantalus and screams in her face at the top of his lungs, but she replies with a slap to the face for him as well! He turns back to her and she sends him down in pain with a kick to the groin!

 

Ferrara: What the hell is happening here!

 

Troy: Lauren is tired of putting up with Hollywood!

 

Ferrara: She just cost him the match!

 

Troy: And I think she meant to do it!

 

Brett runs back into the ring and grabs her by the hair, but he is immediately speared to the canvas by Greg Tantalus! Tantalus obliterates Brett with punches everywhere as Lauren Tantalus climbs out of the ring. The scuffle inside is broken up as "Heaven's A Lie" replays and Lauren Tantalus walks back up the ramp to the cheers of the crowd with a wide grin across her face.

 

Troy: Thanks to his sister, Greg Tantalus is going to Salvation!

 

Ferrara: I can't believe this!

 

Summers: Neither can I. Two men can't win a match outright and this one who needs a disqualification win thinks he has a shot against our champion?  Please. Have a good evening gentlemen. (Puts down headset)

 

Troy: You too Helen. We'll be right back!

WINNER VIA DISQUALIFICATION AT 13:21:  GREG TANTALUS
