A
video package airs, highlighting events that took place last week on Frequency,
with Jaguar and Greg Tantalus fighting to a double count-out in a number one contendership match, followed by the PWA Champion Jason
Calysto forcing Romeo to submit in the night’s second match where a Requiem
world title challenger could have been decided, ending the night with no number
one contender yet announced. From there, the opening credits roll and “By_Myslf” by
Hosemann: That’s right, Troy, and it should be nothing short of a blockbuster
night tonight! We have learned that The Iceman Jason Calysto, our reigning PWA
World Heavyweight Champion The Iceman Jason Calysto
will be in action tonight, against Jonathan Brett in a non-title bout!
Troy: Also tonight folks,
Paul Dawkins and Renegade defend the Tag Team Championship against the Legacy
duo of
Hosemann: Also on the line
tonight is the Progressive Championship, as Dexter P. Wellington defends the
gold against big John Wolfe!
Hosemann: And the International Champion Showtime Damon Savage is in non-title
action against Legacy member Darrin Giles!
Hosemann: Baccaro and
Vulture may have reached a breaking point in their relationship, and the
Women’s Champion Morgan Day seems to be at the center of it. She isn’t the only
issue between those two, but she’s certainly a factor, and it will be
interesting to see if she plays a factor in what goes down later tonight.
Troy: In addition to that,
we have also learned that our CEO Kerry Cox has reached a decision regarding
the number one contendership to the PWA Championship
at Requiem, and folks, he’s going to announce our Requiem main event right now!
Suddenly, “War Machine” by KISS blasts onto the speakers, and the fans begin
cheering thunderously as the CEO of the company, Kerry Cox, makes his way to
the ring. Cox grabs a microphone and steps inside the squared circle.
Cox: Alright folks, the
first thing I want to do is thank you all for coming out tonight and being a
part of our broadcast. The PWA really would be nothing without all you great
fans, and for that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Now,
down to business. Last week, we had a number one contendership
match scheduled between Jaguar and Greg Tantalus that didn’t exactly pan out
the way it was supposed to. I guess there were a number of ways I could have
dealt with the situation, but I truly felt that the best option would be to
declare neither of them number one challenger to the PWA Championship, and move
forward. So then, Romeo was granted the opportunity to earn a title match, and
he was beaten by the champion Jason Calysto. So, as of the close of the show
last week, we had no challenger for Calysto for our April 8 pay-per-view,
Requiem, in
Then,
“Hey You” by Simon Says explodes onto the speakers and Greg Tantalus makes his
way to the ring to a thunderous ovation. Tantalus does not appear to be in a
happy mood, further expressed by his grabbing of a microphone and stepping into
the ring.
Tantalus: Now Cox, I know
your job is stressful, and I know you’ve got a lot on your plate, but who the
hell got in your ear to set that match up for Requiem? Vulture?
Cox: It wasn’t Vulture, Greg, and I don’t think Vulture will be doing much like
that until his situation with Baccaro is properly squared away. And as for who
it was that argued Baccaro’s case, well, that’s my
business.
Tantalus: Well then Kerry,
I’m out here to remind you that I hold a mandatory rematch clause for the PWA
Championship, dating back to when Baccaro stole the title from me three months
ago at Revival. Now, I know you’ve already signed your main event for Requiem,
so I won’t even bother trying to stick myself in there. But what I am going to
do is officially declare that I will exercise this rematch clause at our May
pay-per-view, Animosity! So, whoever wins the match between Jason Calysto and
Jackie Baccaro will have ME to deal with at Animosity! What do you say?
Cox: I say it sounds like a great idea, Greg. Go get ‘em
at Animosity!
The
fans continue to cheer, when “I’m On It” by the Purple Ribbon All-Stars blares
onto the speakers and Jaguar makes his way to the ring, not looking pleased in
the least! The fans shower Jaguar with thunderous cheers as the four-time PWA
Champion grabs a microphone and joins the two in the ring.
Jaguar: Kerry, you must
have lost your damn mind.
Cox: I really don’t think
so, Jag, but why don’t you tell me why.
Jaguar: How can you just
award Greg Tantalus the Animosity title shot, when he and I have been
stalemating each other all around the globe for a month now? And Greg, how are
you gonna stand there and accept this match, knowing damn well you can’t beat
me?
Tantalus: Knowing damn well
I can’t beat you? You know what, Jaguar? You know damn well that YOU can’t beat
ME!
Jaguar: Oh is that so? So
then why don’t we settle this, man to man, to find out who the better man
really is?
Tantalus: We’ve tried this
before, Jag. We get in the ring and no
one comes out the winner.
Cox: But that needs to
change. Unfortunately, Jag, Tantalus has exercised that rematch clause for
Animosity, so he’s got the shot.
Jaguar: He may have
exercised the rematch clause, but he can still put that clause on the line.
Tantalus, I’m challenging you to a match at Requiem for your rematch clause
and, consequently, the title shot at Animosity.
Tantalus: Are you serious?
Jaguar: Oh you KNOW I’m not
playing. But I don’t want just any match either. We need to have a winner this
time. So how about… a 30-minute Iron Man Match! And if it’s tied at the end of
regulation, we go sudden death, one fall to the finish. No bullshit, just
wrestling, and the best man wins and moves on to
Animosity. What do you say?
Tantalus: I say… you’re on!
Cox: So there we have it!
Let’s make the match official right here! Jaguar vs. Greg Tantalus at Requiem,
in a 30-minute Iron Man Match, with the winner challenging for the PWA
Championship at Animosity!
The fans cheer wildly as
Tantalus and Jaguar stare each other down in the ring.
Hosemann: And in an Iron Man match,

BREAK --
As
we return from break, “Footprints” by G-Unit blasts onto the speakers, and the
fans cheer thunderously as the International Champion Showtime Damon Savage
makes his arrival! The camera then cuts to the inside of the ring, where Darrin
Giles is conversing with his manager Justin Schenck, getting ready for this
match.
Troy: This is a big opportunity here for
Darrin Giles, Scott.
Hosemann: It is,
Hosemann: Well you know I have no love lost for anyone in the Legacy. But
there’s no way Darrin can look at anyone with a straight face now and say he’s
happy with the position he’s in.
As
Showtime and Giles prepare to lock up, “Still Ballin”
by 2Pac hits and the fans begin booing loudly as James Biamonte and Jade appear
at the top of the ramp, with chairs. Showtime dares them to come down to the
ring with the chairs, but the two instead set up the chairs at the top of the
ramp and sit down, scouting the champion. As Showtime is distracted by this,
Giles attacks him from behind, prompting the bell to sound to start the match.
* NON-TITLE MATCH: PWA
INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION SHOWTIME DAMON SAVAGE VS. DARRIN GILES *
Referee: Jason Church
Giles pounds away hard on Showtime, downing him
immediately.
Giles continues to put the boots to the champion as Biamonte and Jade smile in
approval. However, Showtime quickly works his way back to a vertical base, and
changes the tempo of the match. Showtime nails Giles with successive rights and
lefts that stagger the former Progressive Champion. With Giles reeling,
Showtime whips him against the ropes, and downs him with a high, hard back body
drop! Giles then gets up, and Showtime floors him with a running axe kick!
Hosemann: He is,
Giles
staggers up to his feet, and Showtime is right there, taking him down with a
hard, charging clothesline. Showtime then hits the ropes and looks for another,
but this time, Giles moves out of the way, and Showtime crashes to the mat.
Giles then positions himself, and downs Showtime with a hard t-bone suplex.
With that, Giles climbs to the top rope, and signals that this match is
history. However, before Giles can fully position himself for his finishing top
rope big splash, Showtime springs up, climbs the ropes, and superplexes
Giles all the way back into the ring! From there, as Giles gets up, Showtime
stalks him, and nails him hard with It’s Showtime!
Savage covers… one, two, three!
Hosemann: Another big win
for Showtime!
The fans
cheer loudly as “Footprints” hits the speakers and the International Champion
Showtime Damon Savage is announced the winner. Biamonte and Jade stand in front
of their chairs on the ramp, and stare down Savage, who stares back, as we head
to commercial.

BREAK --
As we
return from break, “War Machine” is again playing over the speakers, and the
CEO Kerry Cox is standing in the ring.
Cox: Alright folks, last
week, we all saw Bryan Conroy come out here and viciously attack the
commissioner of this company, Paul Ferrara, while I was away. Paul suffered
some injuries, but he should be back better than ever sooner than later. To let
you all know, Paul is seriously contemplating pressing criminal charges against
Conroy for his actions last week, and I will fully support him in that. But
first, I have invited Conroy here to the arena tonight to explain why he did
what he did. And then, once he’s finished, I’ll have him formally escorted from
the building, and we can get cracking on filing criminal charges. For those of
you who don’t know him personally, Bryan Conroy is a man who, at one time, was
a great man, a man who I called one of my best friends. However, Conroy is a
man who was corrupted by power, and that became his undoing, and the reason why
he is no longer affiliated with this company. So, without any further adieu,
let’s bring out Bryan Conroy. But don’t cue his music. He doesn’t get any. He’s
not under contract to this company, so he has to walk out here like a civilian.
Bryan
Conroy then walks out with a smirk on his face, the fans booing loudly. Conroy
grabs a microphone and stands across from Cox in the ring, as security beings
walking down the aisle.
Cox: Just so you know,
Conroy, security has surrounded the ring, and they are waiting patiently for
this interview to end so that they can get you the hell out of here. Now, what
do you have to say for yourself in regards to what you did to Paul Ferrara last
week?
Conroy: First of all,
Kerry, I don’t answer to you, or to anyone else for
that matter. I did what I did to Paul Ferrara last week because the time had
come. It was time for Bryan Conroy to make a statement, and I have done exactly
that.
Cox: A statement about
what? The only statement you have made is that you’re an idiot.
Conroy: (smiling) Kerry,
it’s time I shared a little secret with you. All this security outside of the
ring, the threat of pressing charges, it’s all unnecessary. You see, there’s
something you don’t know, and it’s about time you found out. You see, when you
won the company from me last August and fired me from my post as CEO of the
company, you forgot to do one thing. You forgot to terminate the contract that
reads “Bryan Conroy – Performer.” The only thing is, I
made that particular contract iron-clad right before our match at Everlasting
Epic, just in case. So Kerry, it pains me to do this to you, but the message I
came here to send last week is that Bryan Conroy has returned to the PWA, only
this time as an active wrestler. And I will do what I want, when I want, and
there’s not a damn thing you can do about it. Now, hit my damn music!
With
that, Metallica’s “Sad But
True” blasts onto the speakers, and the crowd buzzes in shock as Conroy laughs
at Cox and exits. Cox seethes in the ring as we take a commercial.
Hosemann: What does this mean for the PWA,
Troy: I don’t know, Scott!
I have no earthly idea!

BREAK --
Back from
break, Bryan Conroy is walking through the backstage area, smiling, meeting the
shocked stares of wrestlers in the locker room. Conroy stops when he reaches
Tony Annetta and pulls him aside.
Conroy: Well, well, well.
Look who it is. I guess you thought you’d never have to answer for what you did
to me at Everlasting Epic, huh? Well guess what? You’re wrong.
Annetta: Conroy, you had
become out of control. You needed to be stopped. I have no regrets about what I
did. You turned your back on me, so I turned my back on you.
Conroy: And single-handedly
cost me my own company, something I’ve lived for, bled for, sweat for. Tony,
you’re going to pay for what you did, and you’re going to pay soon.
Annetta: So let’s stop
beating around the bush then. You want me in the ring? You’re on the active
roster now, so let’s do this, right here next week on Frequency, you and me,
one-on-one!
Conroy: You want it? You
got it. Annetta, I’m gonna punk your ass out next week and make you wish you
had never crossed me.
Annetta: We’ll just see
about that.
Conroy
and Annetta stare each other down intensely as the camera cuts back to
ringside.
Back
at ringside, “Parabola” by TOOL hits the speakers, and the crowd voices its
displeasure as Justin Schenck leads the brotherly duo of Hollywood Mike Griffin
and Infernus to the ring.
Hosemann: This should be quite the title bout,
Dawkins
and Renegade are led to the ring by Dawkins’ girlfriend and women’s division
competitor Liz Rush. Dawkins and Renegade then settle themselves in the ring,
and the bell sounds, with Renegade and Infernus starting things off.
* PWA TAG TEAM
CHAMPIONSHIP: PAUL DAWKINS & RENEGADE © VS.
Referee: Matt Hansen
Renegade
and Infernus lock up in the center of the ring, and Infernus establishes the
initial advantage, tying up Renegade in a headlock. Infernus cinches it in
tightly, but Renegade is able to shove his way out of it, sending Infernus into
the ropes. As Infernus springs back, Renegade hits the mat, and Infernus hops
over him, hitting the opposite ropes. Renegade then leapfrogs over him, before
nailing him with a blind savate kick to the back of
the head! The fans cheer, and Renegade tries to establish the advantage, lifting
Infernus up and whipping him into the corner. Renegade comes in and nails
Infernus with a clothesline, before tagging Dawkins into the fray.
Hosemann: The champions are in firm control here. Infernus will need to make a
tag out to
Dawkins
whips Infernus against the ropes, and nails him with a punishing powerslam as he returns! Dawkins covers… one, two, and
Infernus kicks out. Dawkins looks to further press the advantage, but
Hosemann: I’ve got to
believe that’s a mistake,
Troy: I think you’re underestimating Dawkins here, Scott. I’m sure he can hold
his own.
Dawkins
and
Hosemann: Troy, this is a
mistake. It’s far too early to be attempting that moonsault.
Troy: I have to agree with you, Scott. It is too early.
Renegade then lifts
Hosemann: Unbelievable!
50 Cent’s “Piggy
Bank” hits again and the fans cheer loudly as Renegade and Dawkins are
announced as still being the Tag Team Champions. When Justin Schenck realizes
what has happened, he is bewildered and infuriated. Schenck loses his composure
in the ring as Renegade calls for help for his fallen partner and his partner’s
girlfriend.
Hosemann: He certainly doesn’t look pleased now either,
