TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 2006 * TOKYO DOME * TOKYO, JAPAN

Back from break, “The Stone Monkey” by Kazu Matsui blasts onto the speakers, and the Japanese fans give a thunderous ovation to Keiko Ishida, as she makes her way to the ring for this Women’s Championship contest alone. Ishida largely ignores the cheers of her countrymen as she enters the ring and stretches out on the ropes, ready to wage war. As Keiko stretches, “Dead Promises” by The Rasmus hits the speakers, and the fans cheer just as loudly as the PWA Women’s Champion Morgan Day makes her way out from behind the curtain. Morgan, with her freshly stitched up forehead, appears to be all business as she enters the ring, shedding herself of her belt at the foot of the ring, sliding inside, and immediately cracking Ishida in the jaw with a right hand, prompting the bell to sound!

 

Troy: And here we go!

Hosemann: Morgan doesn’t seem to be showing any obvious signs of damage from that attack by Magnifica just a little while ago.

Troy: No Scott, it appears that she’s shaken off whatever cobwebs needed shaking and she’s ready to go!

* PWA WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP: MORGAN DAY © VS. KEIKO ISHIDA *
Referee: Dan Martin
The fans cheer as Morgan stuns Keiko in the early going of the fray, backing her up with stiff shots to the jaw. Morgan whips Keiko into the ropes, and downs her with a hard back body drop as she returns! Keiko staggers up to her feet, and Morgan takes her down with a vicious shining wizard! The fans cheer, and Morgan covers… one, two, and Keiko just barely gets a shoulder up!

Troy: Morgan Day is absolutely on fire here!

Hosemann: I think she’s trying to put Keiko away early, Troy! I think Morgan isn’t as healthy tonight as she wants us all to believe, and she’s out here tonight trying to finish this match as soon as possible because she knows that! Morgan NEVER starts matches this aggressively! I’m telling you,
Troy, that’s what it is!

Troy: Well, Morgan did get her head bashed into a concrete wall and split open by Magnifica just a few minutes ago, but she is on fire right now, Scott! It’s a theory, what you’ve said, but right now, I think Morgan is just on top of her game!

Morgan lifts Keiko up and whips her into the corner, following her in with a hard clothesline. Keiko staggers forward a pace, and Morgan downs her with a hard snap suplex. From there, Morgan motions for the Sharpshooter! The fans cheer as Morgan goes for the move, but Keiko blocks it, and actually uses her leg strength to flip Morgan over and down on the mat! Keiko springs back to her feet, and Morgan does as well, and Keiko ducks under a clothesline attempt from Morgan. Keiko then grabs Morgan and attempts to whip her into the ropes, but Morgan reverses it and sends Keiko into the ropes instead. Keiko hits the ropes and charges back at Morgan, ducking under a clothesline attempt. Morgan then turns around, and is nailed right in the head with a punishing Ishida savate kick that rips her stitches open and busts her open again! Morgan’s lights are turned out and she hits the mat like a redwood falling in a forest!

 

Troy: My God! Did you hear the impact of that kick?!

 

Hosemann: Morgan had her head bashed against a concrete wall not too long ago, Troy! That kick to the head might have done some incredible damage! I don’t know how Morgan can possibly get up from this!

However, Keiko doesn’t even go for a pin. Instead, she begins stalking her prey, waiting for Morgan to rise so she can let loose with her signature running STO finisher. Morgan slowly begins to rise, and Keiko waits, like a scavenger. As soon as Morgan is up, Keiko charges and looks for the move, but Morgan is able to sidestep out of it! Discombobulated, Keiko turns around, and Morgan boots her in the stomach and lifts her for the Daybreak! However, Keiko slips out, grabs Morgan, spins her around, and tries to whip her against the ropes, but Morgan reverses the whip and sends Keiko into the ropes, but Keiko springs back from the ropes and blasts Morgan with a ferocious running STO, smacking the back of Morgan’s head hard against the canvas! Keiko covers… one, two, three!

 

Troy: Oh my! We have a new Women’s Champion!

Hosemann: Keiko Ishida nailed that running STO and she is now a two-time Women’s Champion! Unbelievable!

 

Troy: Scott, I take nothing away from Keiko Ishida here, but you have to wonder what would have happened in this match had Magnifica not attacked Morgan Day backstage shortly before this match!

Hosemann: You do, Troy, and you have to give credit to Morgan Day for trying to battle through this, but make no mistake about it. She has been defeated by Keiko Ishida, and we have a NEW Women’s Champion!

The Tokyo crowd bursts into furious cheers as “The Stone Monkey” replays over the speakers and Keiko Ishida is handed back the title belt she carried for over one year. Ishida leaves to a thunderous ovation as officials come out to tend to Morgan Day. Morgan is helped to her feet and taken to the back as Keiko disappears behind the curtain, and we take a commercial break.

* WINNER VIA PINFALL AND NEW WOMEN’S CHAMPION: KEIKO ISHIDA *

 

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

 

Back from break, we see a smiling Magnifica and Jackie Baccaro walking through the backstage area, pleased with what has just transpired. Their smiles do not dissipate as they come across Kerry Cox in the backstage area.

 

Cox: What are you two so happy about?

 

Magnifica: Did you NOT just see what happened out there? Morgan Day was DESTROYED, her title is gone, and Vulture has been taught a valuable lesson. This night really couldn't get much better.

 

Baccaro: Maybe not, but I'll sure as hell try to make it better in the main event tonight.

 

Cox: I wouldn't smile just yet. Maybe you succeeded in weakening Morgan for this women's title defense tonight, and possibly assisted in her defeat tonight, but that doesn't mean she doesn't get a rematch.

 

Magnifica: What are you talking about?

 

Cox: Well, I just had a conversation with Vulture, and he convinced me that Morgan deserves a rematch, and deserves one this Saturday night at Requiem. So, I have made it official. It's going to be Keiko Ishida defending her newly regained Women's Championship against Morgan Day, and Magnifica, based on what we saw tonight, if you come within 10 feet of Morgan at any point Saturday, Keiko will forfeit the title back to Morgan. That was Vulture's idea and, you know, I sure liked the sound of it. Have a good night.

 

With that, a fuming Magnifica storms off, and Baccaro follows behind her as the fans in the arena cheer the announcement.

 

Attention then turns to the Jumbotron, where a video package airs, hyping the fatal fourway Progressive Championship match between new titleholder John Wolfe, Dexter P. Wellington, Soaring Phoenix, and Victor Simon which will take place this Saturday night at Requiem. When the video comes to a close, we head to commercial.

 

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

 

Back from break, "Hear Me" by Darkseed blasts onto the speakers and the fans begin cheering loudly as the Alaskan Monster Solomon makes his way to the ring. Solomon appears to be all business as he grabs a microphone and enters the ring.

 

Solomon: Last week, Jonathan Brett simply crossed the line. His simple act alone last week was not what crossed the line, but it is the latest in a long line of assaults Brett and Walter Gindin have waged against me, and it is time for it all to stop. My entire career here in the PWA has been in some way tied to Walter Gindin, and it's time for me to move on. I have a desire to become PWA Champion again, and I won't be able to do that until this war with Gindin and Brett is over and done with. So, Brett, Gindin, come out here. I have a proposal to offer.

 

Troy: What is he going to say?

 

Hosemann: Is he going to tuck tail and beg Gindin for forgiveness?!

 

Troy: It's not likely, Scott.

 

Moments later, "Quake 1" by Nine Inch Nails hits and Jonathan Brett makes his way to the ring alongside Walter Gindin, who is carrying a microphone. The two enter the ring, and Gindin begins to speak.

 

Gindin: What is it Solomon?

 

Solomon: You know as well as I do that this isn't going to stop. Brett, you and I are going to continue bashing each other's skulls in as long as we're both in this company, I learned that last week. So, let's remedy that. This Saturday at Requiem, let's both put our PWA contracts on the line. Brett, I'll put my job here in the PWA up against yours, winner take all. You two get a PWA free of Solomon if Brett wins, and if I win, Gindin, you're left without a client, and I get to re-focus on what's really important, and that's the world championship. What do you say?

 

Gindin: Solomon, that is absolutely...

 

Brett rips the microphone out of Gindin's hand.

 

Brett: Count me in. Solomon, on Saturday, your career is MINE.

 

Troy: Whoa!

 

Hosemann: This is unbelievable!

 

Troy: Solomon vs. Jonathan Brett at Requiem has now become a Loser Leaves PWA match!

 

Gindin appears furious with his client in the ring as Solomon and Brett commence a heated staredown, and the fans buzz wildly as we take another commercial break.

 

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

 

"American Witch" by Rob Zombie hits the speakers and we see a graphic appear on the screen that reads "PWA Requiem Report."  From there, the shot takes us to a backstage set and PWA reporter Ron O'Brien, who is standing in front of a backdrop featuring the Requiem logo.

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

 

As we return, we are ready with our main event. “I’m On It” by the Purple Ribbon All-Stars blasts onto the speakers, and the fans come unglued as Jaguar makes his way to the ring! Jaguar takes his place in the squared circle and begins stretching out on the ropes as “Hey You” by Simon Says hits the speakers and Greg Tantalus makes his way down the aisle to an equally boisterous positive response. Tantalus enters the ring and stands next to Jaguar. The two size each other up before Tantalus offers his hand and Jaguar shakes it. Moments later, “F*ckin in the Bushes” by Oasis blares onto the speakers, and the fans go berserk as the PWA Champion Jason Calysto emerges from behind the curtain! Calysto enters the ring and removes his championship belt, handing it to the official. Calysto, Tantalus, and Jaguar size each other up in the ring as “Things Done Changed” by Notorious BIG hits, and the fans burst into vociferous boos as Magnifica leads Jackie Baccaro to the ring. Baccaro wisely doesn’t enter the ring, instead climbing onto the ring apron. Baccaro and Calysto stare each other down and Baccaro tells Calysto to start the match. The fans cheer as Jaguar agrees to start the match for his team, and the bell sounds, with Jason Calysto and Jaguar set to lock up.

Troy: What a main event this should be, folks! Look at how this one is going to start! Two of the greatest wrestlers in our history, Jaguar and Jason Calysto, are set to go at it!

Hosemann: This should be nothing short of breathtaking!

* PWA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION THE ICEMAN JASON CALYSTO & JACKIE BACCARO VS. JAGUAR & GREG TANTALUS *
Referee: Matt Hansen

Calysto and Jaguar respectfully shake hands before circling around one another, finally locking up in the center of the ring. Jaguar is able to muscle an advantage in the lockup, and take Calysto down with a hard armdrag. The fans cheer the move, and Calysto gets himself back to his feet. The two lock up again, and this time Calysto gains the advantage, downing Jaguar with a stiff armdrag. Jaguar pops back up, but the Iceman downs him again with a deep armdrag. Jaguar gets up again, but this time, Calysto charges him and nails him with a clothesline that sends him over the top rope and out of the ring!

 

Troy: And Calysto has established the early advantage in this one!

Hosemann: He sure is!

Jaguar gets back into the ring, and goes to his corner, tagging in Greg Tantalus, his opponent for Requiem. Calysto and Tantalus lock up in the ring, and Calysto ties Tantalus in a hard headlock. The Iceman squeezes the hold hard, and Tantalus begins to battle his way out of it. Tantalus nails Calysto with several stiff forearms to create some distance, and then lifts him up, looking for a belly to back suplex. However, Calysto slips out, and when Tantalus turns around, he nails him with a hard enziguri! The fans cheer, and with Tantalus down, Baccaro calls out to Calysto for the tag. After a hesitation, Calysto tags Baccaro into the fray. However, as soon as Baccaro enters the ring, he turns around and clubs his partner Calysto down with a vicious forearm!

 

Troy: What the hell was that?!

Hosemann: Baccaro just turned on his partner! Baccaro is looking for a leg up on his competition heading into Requiem!

Baccaro begins putting the boots to Calysto, and referee Hansen tries to get him away. However, Baccaro shoves Hansen to the mat and continues the assault! Jaguar rushes over, and Baccaro turns around and downs him with a hard right hand! Tantalus gets up, and Baccaro downs him with a right hand as well! Magnifica enters the ring, and she and Baccaro stomp away on Calysto until the Iceman begins to make it back to his feet. However, Jaguar and Tantalus get back to their feet first, turn Baccaro around, and begin pounding away on him! Tantalus slugs Baccaro with repeated rights, and Jaguar goes for Magnifica, but she slides under the bottom rope and escapes the ring! Calysto then grabs Baccaro from Tantalus and launches him over the top rope and to the arena floor! Magnifica helps Baccaro to his feet, and Calysto exits the ring and goes after Baccaro and Magnifica, who escape to the back, with the champion following! Meanwhile, in the ring, Jaguar turns to leave, but Tantalus grabs him by the arm and yanks him back to the middle of the ring! The fans hold their breath as Jaguar and Tantalus stare each other down in the center of the ring. The staredown lasts several moments, before Tantalus says “I’ll see you at Requiem.” Jaguar simply nods at him, and the staredown continues as we fade to black.

Troy: What tension in that ring!

 

Hosemann: And out of the ring!

Troy: Calysto is in hot pursuit of Baccaro and Magnifica, and Jaguar and Tantalus are staring holes through each other in that ring! What will happen in four days at Requiem when Baccaro challenges Calysto for the PWA Championship and Jaguar and Tantalus wage war in a 30-minute Iron Man match! We’ll find out this Saturday night in Providence, Rhode Island exclusively on pay-per-view at Requiem! We’ll see you then! Goodnight, everybody!

* WINNERS: NO CONTEST *
