8: BACKSTAGE:
The camera is brought backstage, where it focuses on The Legacy. The
crowd boos at just the sight of them as they walk down the hall, sharing a
laugh amongst themselves.
Schenck: That was a work of art, men. With a win in that eight-man tag match,
we’ve got a good amount of momentum heading into Salvation now.
Anthony: Yeah, thanks to Giles and Hosemann, we’re well on our way to getting
the Tag Titles back.
As they continue to converse with one another, they all suddenly stop when the
Lost Souls stand in their way. Surprisingly, some cheers are heard for the Tag
Champions.
Demon: I’m not sure what you’re patting yourselves on the back for. We were
watching that match that you were just in.
Schenck: That’s obvious, we won that match!
Reaper: Are you kidding? You guys didn’t do a damn thing!
Demon: If that’s all you’re going to contribute to a match, then keeping the
belts isn’t going to be a problem. In fact, Salvation is going to be a waste of
time, going up against you bench warmers.
The Lost Souls stare down The Legacy before brushing passed them, and Schenck
stares back at the Tag Champs with a scowl.
SEGMENT 9:
BACKSTAGE:
A camera is set in the catering area, where Justice
is grabbing himself a cup of coffee when he approached from behind by Dexter P.
Wellington, along with Winston.
Justice: Well look what
the pussycat dragged in.
Justice: What do you
want?
Justice: How about you
take your courtesy and shove it up your stankin ass?!
Justice: You heard me!
You walk around here with that puppet attached to your ass and you think you're
all high and mighty, but I'm gonna tell you like this. You've got so much confidence
that you'll be forcing me out of the PWA, but it will be me who sends your
bitch ass packin back to wherever the hell you're
from before you become an even bigger pain in the ass around here!

Back
from commercial, we are taken to a conference room and a graphic appears on the
screen reading “Live via satellite,
King: Alright ladies and gentlemen, only in
Reporter 1: Evander, why did you accept this
fight on such short notice?
Holyfield: Well, I didn’t really have any other
choice. I want to show the world that this Vydrina
is nothing more than a chump, a chump who cheapshotted Showtime and took food off his table,
and I intend to make him pay for that. I want to revitalize my career,
get myself back into winning shape, to make another run at the Heavyweight
Championship, and it starts with being the first man to take this chump down.
Reporter 2: Evander, don’t you think you needed
more time to get into shape? You haven’t fought in nearly a year.
Holyfield: Listen, I am a four-time Heavyweight
Champion of the World. Three weeks is enough time for me to get back into
winning condition.
Reporter 3: But in your last fight, your timing was so off that you could
barely defend yourself, much less get punches off. Vladimir Vydrina possesses uncanny strength, what makes you think he
won’t be able to knock you down, as many other fighters couldn’t?
Holyfield: Because I am a warrior.
Nothing can overcome my fighting spirit.
Reporter 4:
Vydrina: (in broken English) I will break it.
Reporter 5:
Natasha: I will take this one. We see Evander
Holyfield as great fighter. We see Evander Holyfield as great
champion. But we see Evander Holyfield as old man, past his time. Vladimir Vydrina is future of boxing. Evander
Holyfield is past. At Salvation, the future is
now.
Holyfield: Oh is that so? I guess we’ll
find out Saturday, won’t we?
Natasha: You don’t know of what you speak. You will experience much
pain. Your career will be over. My husband is stronger than three
bulls. My husband can destroy any man.
Holyfield: Your husband has never been in the
ring with me.
Vydrina: (standing up) You will lose.
Holyfield then stands up and lunges at Vydrina,
creating a skirmish that causes all the trainers to break the two men up.
The scene is chaotic as the press snaps numerous photos and we take another
commercial break.

12: MATCH 5: PWA WORLD CHAMPION JAGUAR, JASON CALYSTO &
SCYTHE VS. ROMEO, SOLOMON & BISHOP CROSS:
Referee: Matt Hansen
The
house lights go dark once Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom of The Opera
Overture" creeps through the PA system. The crowd stares on blankly, but booing
as Bishop Cross walks through his fiery rainbow of torches held by his druids.
Cross walks up the ring steps and the lights come back up as he climbs into the
ring. The druids duck back behind the curtain as two huge bursts of icy
blue pyro shoot up from the stage and "Hear Me" by Darkseed begins. The boos grow
even louder in volume as Walter Gindin leads Solomon down the ramp and to the
ring. The Alaskan Monster climbs over the top rope just as three D-Bombs
explode on top of the ramp. B.G.'s remix of
"Hottest of The Hot" cannot drown out the boos
heard for Romeo as he walks through the curtain to the ring. Da Playboi shrugs off the jeers
and rolls into the ring before posing on the turnbuckles like he usually does.
"With
You" by
Ferrara: The crowd loves these three guys, but they are facing quite a dangerous trio tonight in Solomon, Romeo and Bishop Cross.
Troy: I guarantee that they are fully aware of the situation, but all six guys will be looking to get a leg up on their Salvation opponent with the event just four days away.
The
bell rings as Scythe comes face to face with Solomon. Solomon tries to psych
out Scythe, but The Modern Day Samurai will have none of it. Solomon does
manage to get in a quick kick to Scythe's midsection before barreling him back
into a corner. Solomon Irish whips Scythe across the ring to the other corner,
but Scythe pounces onto the middle rope before taking Solomon to the mat with a
cross body block! Solomon gets up, but catches a dropkick that sends him
reeling back to his corner, where Bishop Cross makes a tag.
Troy: Yeah, I'm sure of it Paul.
Cross
runs into the ring, but gets a deep armdrag from Scythe
for his troubles. Scythe takes him down with another armdrag,
but he turns around to be blasted in the face by a boot from Solomon! Solomon
exits the ring as Cross gets Scythe up off the mat and nails him with a chop to
the chest. Cross backs Scythe to the ropes and shoots him across before firing
him down with a powerslam. Cross makes a cover, but
only gets a count of two.
Cross
tags out to Romeo, who enters the ring and delivers a sharp kick to Scythe's
rib cage. Scythe falls back to the mat and Romeo hits the ropes looking for an
elbow drop, but Scythe quickly rolls away and tags Jaguar.
Jaguar
rushes in to a big ovation, but Romeo sees him coming and ducks out of the
match to bring Solomon back in. The crowd boos as Solomon steps back in, but
Jaguar takes the fight right to him by backing him up with three right hands.
Jaguar hits the ropes to knock him down, but he goes down himself once Solomon
tears into him with a massive clothesline!
Solomon
regains his bearings and gets Jaguar off the mat before shooting him to the
ropes. Solomon ducks his head down for a back body drop, but Jaguar scouts it
early and drops Solomon's head down onto his kneecap. Solomon is stood up from
the impact and Jaguar sends him down with a jumping side kick. The PWA Champion
spots the outstretched arm of Calysto, and the crowd is brought to its feet
once he tags The Iceman.
Calysto
pounces on top of Solomon and pounds him with rights and lefts until The
Alaskan Monster fights him off. Both men get up and Solomon charges at Calysto,
but he is taken down with a drop toe hold that Calysto turns into a front facelock. Solomon struggles to get up, but he does rise and
takes Calysto with him. He tosses The Iceman off of him and Calysto lands on
his feet, but Solomon quickly catches him with a devastating spinebuster that
makes the entire crowd cringe! Solomon covers for 1----2----and Calysto kicks
out. Deciding he's had enough of Calysto for now, Romeo is tagged back in.
Da Playboi throws the
rulebook out the window as he applies an overt chokehold to the former PWA
Champion. Stevens breaks it up at the count of four, but the damage has been
done. With Calysto already struggling to regain his wind, Romeo applies a
sleeper, wrapping his muscular arms around Calysto's
neck.
The
crowd cheers for Calysto to rise, with Jaguar leading the way as he waves his
arms about. The Iceman fights his way up to his knees, but Romeo will not
release his grip. Calysto finds a way to grab Romeo's leg out from under him
and turn him into a pinning combination! Stevens counts one....two....and Romeo
release the hold to escape before the count of three! Both men get up quickly,
but Calysto gets the advantage by connecting with his signature spinning heel
kick!
Ferrara: That usually means the match is almost over, but both of these guys need tags right now!
Calysto
comes painfully close to making the tag when Romeo grabs his leg. Calysto spins
away from that and makes the tag to Jaguar as Romeo scurries away. Jaguar grabs
Romeo by the leg, but Da Playboi
makes a tag to Cross. Bishop Cross runs right at Jaguar, so the champion releases
Romeo to take Cross down with a flapjack.
Cross
gets up and walks into an inverted atomic drop, giving Romeo enough time to go
back after Jaguar. Jaguar spots him coming and delivers a kick to the
midsection before signaling for Version 1.0. Before he can lift Romeo into
position for the buster, Cross spins him around and kicks him in the gut. He
sets him up for The Crossfire, but Jaguar slips out of it and wastes no motion
before blasting him with The Carrjack! Jaguar covers and hooks the far leg as
Stevens counts the one.....two.....three!
"Real Big"
hits the speakers as Jaguar gets his arm raised, but once he looks for Romeo,
he finds Da Playboi
backpedaling up the ramp, nodding his head the whole way. Jaguar locks eyes
with him, pointing and yelling that his former partner is next.
Troy: That's right, The Hot Boy$ will collide in
