TUESDAY, MARCH 14, 2006 * BRISBANE ENTERTAINMENT CENTER * BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA

Back from commercial, we see into Commissioner Ferrara’s office, where the commissioner is conversing with PWA World Heavyweight Champion Jason Calysto.

Ferrara: Well it seems pretty clear to me. Neither of them won the match, so neither of them is the number one contender, and hence neither of them will be challenging you for the PWA Championship at Requiem.

Calysto: That’s all well and good, but then who WILL be challenging me?

Voice: Me.

The two turn around and find that the voice belongs to “Da Playboi” Romeo.

Calysto: You?! I just beat you in the tournament!

Romeo: You beat me in the tournament on a rollup, Calysto. It was a fluke. When I beat you on Frequency a few weeks back, it was because I punked your ass out. You won’t put the title on the line against me at Requiem because you’re scared.

Calysto: First of all, I’m not scared, and second, I never said I wouldn’t put the title up against you, but I need you out of my hair for good after I beat you again. And you shouldn’t get a title shot without earning it either.

Ferrara: I’ve got an idea. Tonight, right here live in Brisbane, we’re going to have Calysto vs. Romeo, in a non-title match! And the stipulation is, Romeo, that if you can beat Calysto tonight, you get a title shot at Requiem. However, if you lose, you cannot challenge for the title again as long as Calysto is champion. How does that sound?

Calysto: Sounds good to me.

Romeo: Fine by me too. Watch yourself, Calysto. You go down tonight, and then you go down again at Requiem, when after 11 months, my belt comes home.

Romeo then exits the room and Calysto stares at him intently as we take another break.

Troy: Oh my, what a treat! It’s Calysto vs. Romeo in a non-title match later tonight!

Hosemann: And it has major Requiem implications!

Troy: We’ll be right back!

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

Back from break, “Simon Says” by Drain STH hits and Victor Simon makes his way to the ring to a decent ovation, ready for his shot at the Progressive Championship. As Simon prepares himself in the ring, “Marriage of Figaro” by Mozart hits and the Progressive Champion Dexter P. Wellington makes his way to the ring, accompanied by his butler Winston. Wellington hands his belt to Winston and enters the ring, ready for action.

Troy: Dex Wellington certainly had a rough weekend, losing to Showtime Damon Savage in a tremendous ladder match for the International Championship. There were numerous points in the match where it seemed victory would be imminent for Wellington, but it was not to be.

Hosemann: And now, he has to defend the Progressive Championship against a guy we haven’t seen much of in the past two months since losing the title, but a guy who has both beaten and lost this very belt to Wellington in Victor Simon.

Troy: It should be quite the interesting match.

* PWA PROGRESSIVE CHAMPIONSHIP: DEXTER P. WELLINGTON © VS. VICTOR SIMON *
Referee: Jose Soares
The bell sounds and Victor Simon immediately goes after Wellington, unloading on him! Simon downs Wellington with repeated hard rights and lefts, and the fans immediately are energized by it. Simon whips Wellington into the ropes, and downs him with a hard back body drop as he returns! Then Wellington gets up and Simon charges at him, clotheslining him over the top rope and to the outside! The fans cheer, and Wellington regroups on the outside before heading back into the ring.

Troy: What a quick start by Simon!

Hosemann: That’s just what he needs, Troy!

Back in the ring, Simon charges Wellington again, but Wellington has it scouted this time, and downs Simon with a drop toehold that sends his head crashing into the bottom turnbuckle! This allows Wellington to claim the advantage in the match, working Simon over with furious stomps. Simon is slow to his feet, but when he does get back up, Wellington downs him with a hard release German suplex. Wellington looks for a cover, but gets only two. Wellington then whips Simon into the corner and charges in, but Simon gets a boot up and nails Wellington in the jaw! As Wellington turns around, Simon charges and nails him with a huge bulldog! Then, with a ton of momentum, Simon climbs to the top rope!

Troy: He’s going for that flying elbow smash!

Hosemann: If he hits this, we’re going to have a new Progressive Champion!

However, as Simon climbs, Winston slides the Progressive Championship belt into the ring to Wellington and then distracts referee Soares. Simon, who doesn’t see this, dives off with the move, but Wellington holds up the belt and it smashes Simon in the face! Wellington then slides the belt out of the ring and stands up behind Simon, getting ready to apply the Million Dollar Dream when Simon rises, the fans booing rabidly.

Troy: This isn’t right!

Hosemann: Wait, look at this!

Suddenly, the fans cheer as John Wolfe storms down the aisle, slides into the ring, and immediately takes the fight to Wellington, prompting the referee to signal for a disqualification! Winston climbs into the ring, but Wolfe knocks him right down! Wolfe then continues beating on Wellington until Simon gets up and nails Wolfe with a low blow as he is about to put Wellington down with a chokeslam! Simon yells at Wolfe for costing him the Progressive title and puts the boots to him, until Soaring Phoenix charges down the aisle and immediately destroys Simon with a furious chokeslam-powerbomb combination! Wellington then gets up, and Phoenix downs him with an equally impressive shining wizard! Phoenix and Wolfe then stand face-to-face in the ring, and after a brief staredown, Phoenix exits without a word.

Troy: What chaos!

Hosemann: Suddenly, there is some controversy in the Progressive division!

Troy: And this situation with Soaring Phoenix and John Wolfe doesn’t get any clearer! Folks, we’ll be right back!
* WINNER VIA DISQUALIFICATION AND STILL PROGRESSIVE CHAMPION: DEXTER P. WELLINGTON *

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

Back from break, we see the PWA International Champion Showtime Damon Savage walking through the backstage area, widely smiling. However, once he reaches his dressing room, the smile fades, as he notices a scowling James Biamonte standing in front of it.

Showtime: What do you want?

Biamonte: You know what I want. You’re wearing it around your waist.

Showtime: So that’s what you came here for? To ask me for a title shot? Where’s your ho? Doesn’t she usually do that?

Biamonte: She’s getting ready for that ridiculous bikini contest. And I don’t need to ask you for a title shot. I’m telling you. I haven’t exercised my rematch clause for the title yet, and I’m just letting you know that I’ve just done that. It’s going to be you and me for the title April 8 at Requiem, and Showtime, I don’t plan to lose.

Showtime: Funny. Neither do I.

The two stare each other down, until officials frantically run past them. The camera follows the officials, and we find Scythe lying in a pool of his own blood in the parking lot, with a laughing Bishop Cross, Loki, and Reaper being restrained by security. Commissioner Ferrara is at the scene, yelling at the Army.

Ferrara: You can’t keep doing this! These attacks outside of the damn ring have to stop!

Cross: What are you going to do about it, fat boy? Nothing!

Cross laughs maniacally as Ferrara instructs security to escort the Army of the Damned out of the building. He then turns to an EMT.

Ferrara: Make sure you get him to a hospital as soon as possible, he’s losing a lot of blood.

EMT: Yes sir. Would you like to come for the ride?

Ferrara: I can’t. I have something to take care of here.

EMT: Ok.

Ferrara then re-enters the building and begins heading toward the ring.

Troy: Something to take care of… you’re a character, Paul! The bikini contest is next!

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

As we return, “Chubby Boy” by Mannie Fresh hits the speakers and the fans begin cheering loudly for Commissioner Ferrara as he makes his way to the ring, grabs a microphone, and enters.

Ferrara: Alright everybody, what just happened backstage was a bit sobering, with Scythe being taken out by the Army like that. We can all only hope that he isn’t seriously hurt and can bounce right back from this. But, it’s time to move the show along, and we can’t grieve forever, because it’s time for our bikini contest! So, let’s bring out the contestants!

Ferrara grabs a chair and gleefully has a seat as sexy music hits and the four ladies enter, wearing robes, first Camieko, then Liz Rush, then Jade, and then Dee Licious. When all four are standing in the ring, Ferrara speaks again.

Ferrara: Alright ladies, disrobe!

The sexy music starts again and, one by one, the four ladies take their robes off and model very sexy bikinis that leave the crowd oohing and aahing, and Ferrara drooling. However, suddenly, a man comes through the crowd, and blasts Ferrara in the back of the skull with a lead pipe! The ladies scream and exit the ring as the pipe is wielded at them, and the man, dressed all in black, mounts Ferrara and begins pounding away on him with vicious right hands. The camera cuts in close on the assailant and the fans gasp.

Troy: Oh my God, Scott! Do you know who that is?!

Hosemann: I… MY GOD! IT’S BRYAN CONROY?!

Troy: Bryan Conroy, our former owner, was FIRED in August after losing the company to Kerry Cox! He can’t be here!

Hosemann: Apparently security has the same idea!

Security rushes the ring, and Conroy quickly flees the ring, escaping through the crowd. The fans are shocked, and Ferrara lies in a pool of blood in the ring as we take our final commercial break.

Troy: What a shocker! Bryan Conroy just came through the crowd and assaulted our commissioner! What the hell is Conroy doing in Australia?!

Hosemann: Who knows, Troy, but what I do know is that Calysto vs. Romeo is next!

Troy: It sure is! Stay tuned!

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

As we return, “F*ckin in the Bushes” by Oasis explodes onto the speakers, and the fans cheer thunderously as the new PWA World Heavyweight Champion The Iceman Jason Calysto makes his first appearance in front of the live television crowd with the belt, and the fans shower him with cheers accordingly. However, Calysto gets only halfway down the ramp when Romeo charges down the ramp behind him and clubs him down from behind! Amidst a chorus of boos, Romeo then beats Calysto down the ramp and whips him hard into the steel ring steps!

Troy: Oh c’mon, let him in the damn ring!

Hosemann: He’s looking for any advantage he can get, Troy, and I would too in his position!

Referee Tom Stevens scolds Romeo, and Romeo rolls Calysto into the ring and follows him in as the bell sounds.

* NON-TITLE MATCH: PWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION THE ICEMAN JASON CALYSTO VS. ROMEO *
Referee: Tom Stevens
Romeo continues his assault on Calysto once the match has officially started, stomping away on him with hard, furious boots as the fans continue to boo him loudly. Calysto is slow to his feet, struggling mightily, and Romeo continues to do his best to keep Calysto down, nailing Calysto in the back and midsection as he tries to get up. Once the Iceman does finally get up, Romeo grabs him and sends him into the corner with a violent Irish whip, charging in after him with a ferocious splash! Romeo then takes Calysto down with a belly-to-belly suplex and covers… one, two, and Calysto kicks out.

Troy: That was close there.

Hosemann: It was, Troy. That’s the benefit of Romeo’s strategy here. He wanted to jump on Calysto early and prevent him from getting going with his game, and that’s exactly what’s happened thus far here.

Calysto gets up and Romeo grabs him, whipping him against the ropes. As Calysto returns, Romeo nails him with a crunching tilt-a-whirl backbreaker! Da Playboi then climbs up to the second rope and nails him with a front elbow that resonates throughout the arena. Romeo covers… one, two, and Calysto kicks out again. Romeo now lifts Calysto again and downs him with a ferocious sidewalk slam that downs Calysto hard. Then, Romeo signals for the end and locks on the Playboi Pinch!

Troy: The Playboi Pinch! This is the move Romeo used to defeat Calysto just a few weeks ago here on Frequency!

Hosemann: It sure is, Troy! Romeo has it locked on good, and if it’s as successful tonight, Romeo is going to be challenging Calysto for the world championship in Providence, Rhode Island, April 8 at Requiem!

Romeo cinches the move on as tightly as possible, straining every ounce of his body to try to get Calysto to tap out. However, the champion battles valiantly, refusing to give in. Just when it seems that Calysto could be on the verge of defeat, the Iceman digs deep and is able to make it to the ropes to break the hold!

Troy: What a valiant effort by the champion!

Hosemann: That’s why he’s the champ and a Hall of Famer, Troy!

Romeo remains undaunted, stomping away on him. He sends Calysto against the ropes, and destroys him with a powerslam as he returns. From there, Romeo signals for the Dre Day powerbomb.

Troy: Dre Day! If Romeo hits this, it’s history!

Romeo positions Calysto for the move and lifts him for it, but Calysto slips out! Romeo turns around and swings a clothesline at the Iceman, but Calysto ducks under it, hits the opposite ropes, and takes Romeo down with a furious spinning heel kick on the rebound that energizes the Brisbane crowd! Romeo is slow to his feet, and when he does rise, Calysto charges at him and blasts him in the jaw with a furious running mafia kick! The fans now get to their feet as Calysto climbs to the top rope, preparing for the Bottom Line! The Iceman leaps off with the move as Romeo rises, and he nails it full force! Calysto covers… one, two, and Romeo just narrowly gets his shoulder up!

Troy: So close!

Hosemann: Romeo kicked out there, but the champion is on fire! He is signaling for the Icebreaker!

Troy: That he is! The fans are on their feet, and this one could be over soon!

Da Playboi gets up, and Calysto grabs him, looking for the Icebreaker. However, Romeo slips out, spins Calysto around, boots him in the stomach, and readies him for Dre Day! Romeo lifts him up with the move, but Calysto counters out of it and, in mid air, drives Romeo down into the Crossface! The fans, already standing, cheer thunderously as Romeo struggles mightily in the hold. Romeo appears close to reaching the ropes, but Calysto pulls a page out of the book from his match Saturday with Jackie Baccaro and rolls through to the middle of the ring, cinching the hold on even tighter! Romeo struggles valiantly to hang on, but soon realizes he is out of options and, begrudgingly, taps out, eliciting a thunderous roar from the Brisbane crowd as the bell sounds!

Troy: It’s over! It’s over! Unbelievable!

Hosemann: Jason Calysto has done it! Romeo has tapped out, and Jason Calysto has ended his feud with Romeo once and for it!

Troy: What an impressive victory for the champion! Calysto has done it! He has finally forced Romeo to tap out in a one-on-one match, and now Romeo cannot challenge him for that title!

Hosemann: But who can, Troy? Three up, and three down tonight, and we STILL don’t know who will be challenging that man for the PWA Championship at Requiem!

Troy: Well we won’t find out tonight, that’s for sure, because we’re out of time! Goodnight everybody! We’ll see you next week in Sin City!

The Australian fans cheer thunderously as “F*ckin in the Bushes” blares throughout the Brisbane Entertainment Center and Jason Calysto holds his belt high for the fans. Romeo quietly rolls out of the ring and heads to the back as Calysto enjoys the adulation of his fans down under, completing his magical Australian weekend as the cameras fade to black.

* WINNER VIA SUBMISSION: JASON CALYSTO *
