1ST MARINER ARENA
SEGMENT
8: BACKSTAGE:
Back from commercial, we find Vulture and Jackie Baccaro in
Commissioner Kerry Cox’s office, screaming in anger. Lauren Tantalus is behind them, smirking.
Cox: Why don’t you calm down and
speak one at a time?
Vulture: Where is the security,
Cox?! Jackie here shouldn’t have to be
worrying about a crazed lunatic running out there and interfering in his
matches when he goes out to wrestle. GI
Jew had no business out there. Jackie
defeated him at Salvation, and that’s the end of the story.
Baccaro: Vulture’s right. My issue with GI Jew is settled. I have no business with him out there. He needs to just accept the fact that I’m the
better man and move on.
Cox: Oh really?
Vulture & Baccaro together: Yes,
really.
Cox: You know something, that’s not how
I saw it. The way I saw it, the reason
why Jackie Baccaro prevailed over GI Jew at Salvation was a simple numbers
game. It was Baccaro, with Vulture, over
GI Jew. I don’t think that would happen
if the numbers were even.
Vulture: What are you trying to say,
Cox?
Cox: What I’m trying to say is that next
week, right here on Frequency, we’re going to have a Salvation rematch. It’s going to be Jackie Baccaro, with Vulture
in his corner, against GI Jew… with Paul Dawkins in his corner!
Vulture: You can’t do that!
Cox: Oh but I just did!
Vulture: You’re not going to get away
with this injustice!
Cox: Have a good day, gentlemen!
Cox then slams the door shut, leaving Vulture and Baccaro furious at the
announcement, storming down the hall.
Lauren Tantalus noticeably lingers behind, smiling ear to ear as she
follows, pleased that the two may get what’s coming to them next week.
SEGMENT 9: BACKSTAGE:
The camera shifts to the Legacy’s locker room,
where nervous chatter is taking place between Superstar Scott Hosemann, Greg
Price, and Kris Anthony. Darrin Giles is
stoic next to them, showing no emotion, while Justin Schenck has his head
buried in his hands, before raising it up and speaking.
Schenck: Gentlemen! Do you realize what is happening here? Briggs is trying to bring us down from
within, and dare I say, it may be working.
He has us looking over our shoulders constantly, and he is keeping us
from focusing on more important matters, like trying to regain the Progressive
and Tag Team Championships. We need to
come up with a plan to take this man down, and it’s not going to be easy. I’m thinking some kind of attack might be
best, a sneak attack, but…
Giles: Justin, that’s not going to work.
Schenck: Why not?
Giles: Because we never know where this
guy is going to be. We need to bring him
to us. Someone needs to go out there and
lay down a challenge to him.
Schenck: And who will that be? Surely there isn’t one man here who is
willing to lay his neck on the line and challenge Briggs to a fight!
Giles: (without hesitation) I’ll do it.
Schenck: Are you crazy?! What are you going to do?!
Giles: I’m going to go to the ring right
now and challenge him to a one-on-one match at Requiem. We can’t take this guy out if we can’t find
him. I’ll take him on, and I’ll beat him.
Schenck: Are you sure about this?
Giles: Watch me.
Giles then exits the room and starts toward the ring as we take a break.

SEGMENT 10: BACKSTAGE:
Back from commercial, we are taken backstage,
where newcomers Paul Epton and John Wolfe are seen getting ready for their
upcoming shot at the Tag Team Championship later tonight.
Wolfe: You ready?
Epton: Absolutely. I was born ready. This is what we’ve been waiting for our whole
bloody lives, John. We’re not going to
blow this.
Wolfe: I agree. We are here in the PWA for a reason, and it’s
not to be losers. We have our
opportunity tonight, much quicker than we expected it, but we will take
advantage of it, and leave here the new Tag Team Champions.
The two turn around
when they hear snickering from the background. When they turn around, they find themselves
greeted by the contingent of Jon Dulberg, Vladimir Vydrina, Natasha Vydrina,
and Rodney King. Not That Rodney King.
Epton: May we help you with
something?
Dulberg: You can help us by telling us
why exactly you two “chaps” deserve a shot at the Tag Team Championship in only
your second match around here.
Wolfe: How about we pinned the champions
two weeks ago instead of losing the International title on pay-per-view.
Dulberg: At least I can get on
pay-per-view.
Epton: Listen, Dulberg, as much as we’d
love to chat with you right now, it isn’t the time. We have a match to prepare for and we’d
appreciate…
Dulberg: Well we’d appreciate you two
getting the hell out of our country and going back to where you came from. Isn’t it tea time anyway?
Epton: No, but it’ll be time to kick
your ass if you don’t get out of here.
Dulberg steps
forward, staring Epton down, as Vydrina steps forward, staring down Wolfe. Neither team flinches, until Dulberg cracks a
smile.
Dulberg: C’mon Vlad, they’re not
worth it. Remember boys, we could have
had you. We could have had you.
Dulberg and crew
then exit as Epton and Wolfe continue their preparation.
SEGMENT 11:
RINGSIDE:
Back at the ring, “Control” by Earshot hits
and Darrin Giles makes his way to the ring, alone. Without giving much thought to the gravity of
what he’s doing, Giles grabs a microphone and heads into the ring.
Giles: I’m out here for one
reason, and that’s to give The Legacy a reason to stop looking over their
shoulders all the time. The reason
behind all this is you, Briggs. You couldn’t
handle the fact that we didn’t want you around in the group anymore, that we didn’t
need you, so you’ve decided to declare war on the entire group. Well, that’s fine with me. Just know that you’re in for a fight if that’s
your course of action. And the fight
starts right here. Briggs, I’m calling
you out. You want to take on The
Legacy? Well, it starts with me. I want you, one-on-one, at Requiem. April 9 in Pittsburgh, son, I’m taking you
out. The only question is, are you man
enough to accept my challenge? Well are
you?
Suddenly, “Trust” by
Sevendust blasts onto the speakers and the fans cheer loudly as Briggs begins
stalking his way to the ring. Giles doesn’t
flinch as Briggs steps over the top rope and into the ring.
Giles: So what’s it gonna
be? Do you accept?
Briggs doesn’t answer.
Giles: I’m talking to you,
punk! Answer me!
When Briggs still
doesn’t respond, Giles slaps him across the face! However, this proves to be a costly mistake,
as Briggs boots him in the stomach and destroys him with a vicious powerbomb!
The fans cheer
wildly as “Trust” replays and Briggs exits the ring, leaving Giles unconscious
inside it as we take another break.

SEGMENT 12:
MATCH 4: PWA TAG TEAM
CHAMPIONS: THE LOST SOULS © VS. PAUL
EPTON & JOHN WOLFE:
Referee: Matt Hansen
Back at ringside, we are ready to go with our Tag Team Championship
match. “Stockholm Syndrome” by Muse hits
the speakers and the fans begin cheering loudly as the two British underdogs,
Paul Epton and John Wolfe, begin making their way to the ring. Epton and Wolfe look determined, and ready to
take advantage of the biggest opportunity of their lives.
Moments later, “A Violent Reaction” by American
Head Charge hits and the crowd showers Tag Team Champions The Lost Souls with a
chorus of boos as they make their way down to the ring. Speed Demon and Reaper are all business
tonight, and that much is evident as they strip themselves of their belts along
the ramp way and head into the ring, immediately taking the fight to the
challengers, prompting the bell to sound.
The Lost Souls get the immediate advantage in the
match, with Reaper knocking the big Wolfe out of the ring with a series of
rights, and Demon working over the cruiser Epton as things settle down and the
match begins. Demon violently whips
Epton into the Souls’ corner, and begins working over him with stiff rights and
lefts to the midsection. With Epton
dazed, Demon tags Reaper into the match, who takes a few steps back and blasts
Epton with a huge splash. Epton crumbles
to the mat, and Reaper pounds away on him in the corner with his boot. Reaper then lifts Epton off the mat and nails
him with a big backbreaker, crushing his spine.
Keeping him cornered with a few sharp elbows to the jaw, Reaper tags
Demon back into the match, and the two double-team Epton furiously, destroying
him with an array of kicks and punches, before referee Matt Hansen forces
Reaper to exit the ring.
With Epton staggering, Demon lets him out of the
corner, only to grab his head and drive him hard down into the mat. Demon then stomps away on him furiously, easing
up a bit as the boos thicken, realizing that Epton is barely moving. Demon chuckles to himself and tags Reaper
back into the match, telling him to finish him off. Reaper gets into the ring and begins
mockingly slapping Epton in the head, daring him to get to his feet. When Epton finally does get to his feet,
Reaper tattoos him with a sickening clothesline that turns the young Briton
inside out. The fans boo, but boo even
louder when Reaper signals for the Passed Judgment piledriver. Reaper scoops Epton up for the move… but
Epton slips out, lunges across the ring, and tags in his partner Wolfe!
The fans cheer wildly as John Wolfe heads into the
ring and begins destroying Reaper with hard right hands! Speed Demon heads into the ring and charges
at him, but Wolfe turns it into a sickening tilt-a-whirl slam that downs Demon,
prompting him to roll out of the ring!
Reaper then gets up, but Wolfe grabs him, and powerbombs Reaper
head-first into the top turnbuckle!
Reaper is nearly unconscious, slowly staggering to his feet, but when he
does, Wolfe grabs him and blasts him with a huge chokeslam! Wolfe then tags Epton into the match, who
climbs up to the top rope and nails Reaper with an awe-inspiring shooting star
press! Epton hooks the leg as the fans
jump to their feet! One… Speed Demon
hops onto the apron and slides back into the ring… Two… Wolfe nails him with a
boot to the jaw that knocks him back through the ropes… Three!
The 1st Mariner Arena comes unglued as “Stockholm
Syndrome” blasts onto the speakers and the newcomers Paul Epton and John Wolfe are
announced the new PWA Tag Team Champions.
The English duo celebrates their victory amongst the cheering

SEGMENT 13: RINGSIDE:
We return to the
ring, where Commissioner Kerry Cox is waiting at a table that has two chairs
positioned next to it. Cox holds a clipboard and a microphone as the crowd
noise comes down.
Cox: Thank you. Before we get started with the contract
signing for The PWA Championship match at Requiem, I have to introduce another
championship match for April 9th. After that stunning upset we have just
witnessed, I ran into The Lost Souls on my way out here, and they immediately
exercised their title rematch clause for Requiem. So we are going to see Paul
Epton and John Wolfe defend their newly-won PWA Tag Team Titles against The
Lost Souls!
Cox: And now onto Requiem. Last year’s Requiem event was
right here in
"With You" by
Cox: And now his opponent. This man lost the PWA
International Championship at Requiem in an incredible ladder match right here
in this building, but now he stands atop the wrestling world as The PWA World
Heavyweight Champion. I give you...Romeo.
The
D-Bombs drop from the ceiling as "I Want It" by B.G. begins. As the
smoke clears, the boos rush in for Romeo as he makes his entrance. The champion
comes to the ring in a pair of black jeans and his brand new Playboi T-Shirt,
complete with the biggest prize in the business draped over his right shoulder.
Romeo climbs into the ring and also shakes hands with Cox before placing his
gold on the table, right in front of Scythe as he takes a seat.
Cox: Okay fellas. You have both seen this contract and you
know what it entails. You two, one-on-one, for the title at Requiem. Romeo,
here you go.
The
champion grabs the pen from atop the clipboard and wastes no time in signing
the last sheet of paper. Romeo then hands the clipboard and pen back to Cox.
Cox: Alright Scythe, your turn.
Romeo: Wait a minute. I want you to think for a minute
here Scythe. By signing that contract, I hope you realize what you're getting
yourself into. You're signing up for the same type of treatment that your boy
Jaguar got and that Camieko got. Both of them are sitting at home right now,
thanks to me. And if you sign that piece of paper, you'll be doing the same in
about two weeks' time.
Scythe: You talk such a big game Romeo. You talk about how
you had four women beat down Camieko to put her on the shelf, and you brag
about how to jumped Jaguar after he was already hurt and put him out of action.
But you know what Romeo? That won't happen to me. You won't put me on the shelf
and you won't find a way to take advantage of me like you did to them. You're
dealing with the longest-reigning PWA Champion in history and a man that you
haven't beaten. As a matter of fact, you haven't beaten anyone since winning
that title, and next weekend, I'm gonna bring you down.
Romeo: Is that so? Well go ahead and sign it then.
Scythe
looks down to sign the contract, but Romeo turns the table upwards, knocking
him in the face! Romeo takes control by stomping Scythe down to the mat and
lifting him up for an Irish whip. Scythe ducks under a clothesline and stops
abruptly to lace Romeo with several lightning-fast punches and chops before
delivering a double-hand chop that sends him reeling backwards through the
ropes and down to the arena floor! Scythe then picks up the clipboard and grabs
the pen to sign his name on the dotted line to a huge ovation from the crowd!
Scythe
and Romeo stare one another down hard as "With You" plays for
Frequency's extremely tense ending.
