SEGMENT
8: MATCH 3: NON-TITLE MATCH: PWA WOMEN’S CHAMPION KEIKO ISHIDA VS.
CAMIEKO:
Referee: Dan Martin
“Zerospace”
by Kidneythieves plays unexpectedly, bringing out a
crowd pleaser in Jade. She arrives to a spectacular ovation while wearing a
bright smile. She walks passed the ring and heads to the commentators booth to
join Victor Troy and Paul Ferrara. Shaking the hands of both commentators, Jade
sits down and puts on a headset.
Jade: I’m happy to be
here, but it’s all about business tonight. I want to scout Ishida for my
upcoming title match with her at Requiem.
"Hot Like Fire" by Aaliyah starts up, and the crowd bursts
into cheers at the sight of Camieko, who steps out to a warm welcome from the
crowd. She waves at the audience while walking towards the ring. Once the Hot Girl
steps into the squared circle, she sees Jade sitting in the booth. Both women
offer a nod of acknowledgement to each other before Camieko resumes waiting for
her opponent.
Ferrara: Hah, that’s a
nice way to put it.
Jade: I have to agree
with Paul. What Romeo did to her was underhanded, but I’m glad she’s back in
the game.
“The Stone Monkey” by Kazu Matsui eventually
blasts over the speakers, prompting a wave of boos for the undeniably dominant
Women’s Champion, Keiko Ishida, while Walter Gindin accompanies her to the
ring. With the belt held over her shoulder, Ishida confidently walks down the
ramp, keeping an eye on Camieko.
Jade: Although I’d love
to have the chance to end her streak, I wouldn’t mind if Camieko got the job
done.
Ishida steps through the ropes and briefly tosses a glare in Camieko’s direction, before hoisting her belt high into the
air in all directions towards the crowd, who responds vehemently to the Women’s
Champion. An indifferent Ishida hands the belt over to the referee, who
transfers it over to the timekeeper. The bell rings shortly after, and Ishida
and Camieko immediately go head to head.
Troy: I think we know
who the favorite is in this match, according to the crowd. Camieko definitely
has everyone behind her.
Jade: Including myself,
and I know that this Saturday, it’s all going to come to a boil.
Camieko whips Ishida into the ropes and goes for the clothesline, but
Ishida ducks under the arm and comes back hard with a shoulder block. Camieko
hits the mat, but is pried right off it when Ishida yanks her back up. Ishida
lifts her up for a suplex, but Camieko lands on her feet behind the Women’s
Champion! Camieko shoves her into the ropes, but Ishida comes back and latches onto
Camieko, sending her crashing into the mat with a devastating running STO!
Keiko hooks the leg… One, Two, Thr-yes, three.
Jade throws the headset down as “The Stone Monkey” plays once more. The
challenger for the belt rises to her feet, staring up at Keiko Ishida. The
referee raises her hand and awards her with the belt, but Ishida wears the face
of scorn as she stares at Jade. With the crowd booing and her music booming in
the background, the camera fades to a commercial.

MATCH 4: PWA WORLD CHAMPION ROMEO
& SCYTHE VS. ORA WORLD CHAMPION ANTHONY FAILLA & SOLOMON:
Referee: Matt Hansen
Two spirals of blue fireworks rise from the
stage as "Hear Me" by Darkseed hits the
speakers. The crowd boos passionately as Walter Gindin heads through the
entrance, followed closely by Solomon. The Alaskan Monster steps over the top
rope and waits in the ring as a loud blast of pyro accompanies
"Shootouts" by Jadakiss and Styles P for
the entrance of Anthony Failla. The ORA Champion comes down to the ring with
his belt draped over his shoulder and climbs into the ring to come face-to-face
with Solomon, each carrying a face of stone.
Troy: For whatever reason, Bryan Conroy has booked these men as
partners tonight. The last time they teamed up, Solomon hit Failla with the
Deep Freeze. What if that happens again tonight?
The staredown is still continuing as
Ferrara: Against two monsters like Failla and Solomon, they won't
have much of a choice.
Romeo walks down the ramp and Scythe quickly locks eyes with him as he
nears the ring. Romeo spouts off a few negative words to his
partner and doesn't bother touching the ring until Solomon breaks away
from Failla and nails Scythe from behind!
Scythe crumples to the canvas and the crowd boos as Romeo removes his
coat and belt before climbing onto the ring apron. Solomon goes to work on
Scythe, pounding him in the back and kicking him hard in the ribs. Scythe crawls
to a corner, where Solomon lifts him up and Irish whips him to his corner. He
charges, but Scythe hits him with a boot to the face. The Alaskan Monster is
staggered by the blow and Failla tags himself in just before Scythe darts to
his corner and tags an unsuspecting Romeo!
Ferrara: Yeah, but look
at what we've got now. For the first time since the birth of the title, we have both the PWA and ORA World Champions in the ring!
Romeo and Failla come face to face and the crowd cheers as Romeo takes
the first shot. Failla comes back with a punch of his own, and in no time, the
PWA and ORA Champions are slugging it out to the crowd's delight! Failla takes
the advantage with a knee to the midsection before executing an Irish whip, but
Romeo reverses it and decks Failla with a flying shoulder tackle!
Romeo mounts Failla and pounds his head with heavy right hands before
hitting the ropes and dropping a big knee across his chest. Romeo covers for a
two count before delivering a hard tag to Scythe. Scythe stares at his partner
before going to work on Failla by sending him into the ropes and flooring him
with a double hand chop. Scythe covers for one....two....and it’s broken up by
Solomon!
Ferrara: None of these
guys like each other, but they sure don't want to lose!
Romeo shoves Solomon backwards, but that gives Failla enough time to
get to his feet and turn Da Playboi
inside out with a clothesline! Solomon tags himself in, much to Failla's chagrin as he calls for The Deep Freeze. Solomon
lifts Romeo up, but Failla sees it coming and pulls him back down!
Solomon and Failla bicker long enough for Romeo to tag out to Scythe,
who comes in and hits Solomon with a dropkick that sends him crashing into
Failla, who then crashes to the arena floor! Failla gets up quickly and removes
the timekeeper from his seat. He grabs his chair and swings it at
Solomon, but the big man ducks and he makes contact with Scythe's cranium!
Matt Hansen calls for the bell, throwing the match out as Failla enters the
ring and tackles Solomon to the ground!
Failla and Solomon brawl on the mat and Romeo takes advantage of a
dazed Scythe by stomping him into oblivion as the official continues to call
for the bell. With no solution in sight, the army of
officials run back to the ring to break up another fight as we take a
commercial break.

SEGMENT 11:
BACKSTAGE:
The camera then cuts backstage, where Vulture
is adjusting his Kangol hat and putting on his
Aviator sunglasses as Jackie Baccaro looks into a mirror, slapping himself in
the head repeatedly, getting himself psyched up. Lauren Tantalus stands behind them, apron on,
looking amused. Vulture turns around and
sees this, and becomes angry.
Vulture: What are YOU laughing
about?
Lauren: Oh nothing. Except for the fact that you two are about to
get your asses kicked by GI Jew!
Vulture: Oh you think so, huh?
Lauren: I know so. The way I see it, with Paul Dawkins ringside,
you two guys are screwed, and once GI Jew is done with the both of you, you’ll
be in no shape to keep me here, and I’ll have my freedom.
Vulture: Well, you
can keep dreaming, Lauren. Because we have a plan tonight. And nothing is gonna stop us from taking out
GI Jew one more time right here tonight.
Lauren: We’ll see.
Vulture: Yes, we will.
Baccaro: Don’t you have something to
cook? No one was talking to you.
Vulture laughs and
he and Baccaro prepare to leave.
Lauren: Hey Jackie, have fun getting
your neck broken like your pal Vulture.
The two turn back to
Lauren, who cracks a grin at them. They
stare her down briefly before exiting and heading toward the ring as we take
our final commercial break.

SEGMENT 12:
MATCH 5: JACKIE BACCARO VS. GI
JEW:
Referee: Tom Stevens
The crowd is ready for the main event and they do not have to wait much
longer once Slipknot's "Opium of The People" blasts through the
speakers. The motorcycle doesn't rev this time, but the crowd reaction is still
deafening with cheers as GI Jew walks to the ring with Paul Dawkins. The
International Champion comes dressed in his ring gear as with the belt that GI
Jew once wore draped over his shoulder as he greets the fans. GI Jew climbs
into the ring and poses for all sides of the crowd to cheer before removing his
bomber jacket and waiting for The Notorious' B.I.G.'s
"Things Done Changed" to hit.
Troy: Jackie Baccaro
used a ton of help from Vulture to get a win over GI Jew at Salvation in Los
Angeles, you see that he's got a friend in Paul Dawkins to keep this thing
fair.
Baccaro and Vulture walk out to a huge chorus of jeers from the crowd,
but both carry their usual annoying smug and cocky looks as they pose in front
of the gold streams of pyro. They don't carry those looks for long as Jew
charges up the ramp and clotheslines Baccaro to the ground! Vulture moves in on
Jew, but backs up quicker than a jackrabbit once Dawkins goes after him!
GI Jew lifts Baccaro up and sends him back down on the steel with a big
right hand. Tom Stevens demands that the action remain in the ring, so Jew
rolls Baccaro into the squared circle so the senior official can call for the
bell.
Dawkins and Vulture make their way back to ringside to cheer on their
charges, but it is all GI Jew as he pounds Baccaro down into a corner. Jew
grabs Baccaro by the arm and slings him hard into the opposite corner. Baccaro
hits the turnbuckles hard and walks out into a big back body drop! Baccaro hits
the mat hard and clutches his back as he tries to get up slowly. GI Jew sets up
for a Gore to put an early end to the match, but it is shouting fro Vulture
that allows Baccaro to roll out of the ring before he can be hit.
Baccaro tries to catch a breather on the outside, but Jew will have
none of it. He goes to the floor to give chase, but Baccaro greets him with a
quick, short clothesline! Knowing he needs to further his advantage, Baccaro
grabs GI Jew by the head and rams it into the steel ring steps!
Baccaro rolls Jew back into the ring before uncharacteristically
heading up to the top rope. Jew gets to his feet, but he is nearly taken out of
his boots once Baccaro throws all 265 of his pounds into him with a flying
tackle! Baccaro quickly covers for one...two...and Jew kicks out!
Baccaro lifts GI Jew up and tries to execute a bearhug
slam, but Jew fights out of it with two elbows to the temple. A dizzy Baccaro
backs up and Jew hits the ropes before downing him with a clothesline. Jew
catches his breath and decides to make Baccaro lose his as he locks on his
rarely-used Cobra hold. Baccaro begins to fade away and Vulture panics on the
outside. The 8-time World Champion hops up to the ring apron, providing a
distraction that gives Baccaro enough time to mule kick Jew in the groin!
Baccaro and Jew are both down on the mat as Vulture smiles to the
crowd, but the grin is wiped from his face once his designer shirt is grabbed
by Dawkins! Vulture begs off, but Dawkins is set on nailing him in the face for
his actions! Dawkins asks the crowd if they want it, and they do, but Dawkins
doesn't do it.
Vulture pleads, pointing to his neck, but Dawkins just smirks at him.
Baccaro reaches his feet and freaks out once he sees what is happening. He
demands Vulture's release and Dawkins shoves Vulture down hard on the arena
floor before smiling and shaking his head at Baccaro. Baccaro carries a
perplexed look on his face before shrugging Dawkins off, and promptly walking
right into a massive Gore! GI Jew covers and Stevens counts 1----2----3!
"Opium of The People" hits and the crowd cheers in unison as
GI Jew is announced as the winner. Vulture pulls Baccaro out of the ring as
Dawkins climbs back inside to raise the arm of the victor. Vulture points back
at Dawkins, swearing revenge as the champion holds his belt high and does the
same.
Troy: Finally, GI Jew
caught Baccaro sleeping and he wins this match with The Gore!
