TUESDAY, APRIL 18, 2006 * DVOREC SPORTA ARENA * ST. PETERSBURG, RUSSIA

A video package airs, highlighting events that took place last week, with Jaguar announcing his retirement, effective at the conclusion of the Golden Ring tournament, and with the PWA Champion Jackie Baccaro and Magnifica massacring Vulture in the ring. From there, the opening credits roll as “By_Myslf” by Linkin Park hits, and when they conclude, we are taken inside the Dvorec Sporta Arena in St. Petersburg, Russia, where a breathtaking pyrotechnics display ensues, and we head down to our commentators Victor Troy and Superstar Scott Hosemann!

Troy: Hello everyone, and welcome to PWA Frequency! I’m Victor Troy, along here with Superstar Scott Hosemann, and our European tour is underway!

Hosemann: It sure is, Troy! It means a lot of traveling for the superstars also involved in the Golden Ring tournament, which amounts to the majority of the roster, but it is certainly worth it. The fans out here in Europe are second to none, and we are ready to have a great time tonight!

Troy: Last week, we saw two things that shocked us, being Jaguar announcing that he will hang up his tights at the conclusion of the Golden Ring tournament, and Vulture savagely beaten by Jackie Baccaro and Magnifica, both of which dampened the mood last week in Boston. However, tonight, we’re going to try to pick things up, and our main event tonight could do just that! In a steel cage war, Scythe will battle Bishop Cross!

Hosemann: That one should be downright chaotic, Troy!

Troy: Also tonight, there will be a seven-man battle royal, where eliminations can be recorded by pinfall, submission, or being tossed over the top rope, and the winner will challenge Dexter P. Wellington for the Progressive Championship May 6 at Animosity!

Hosemann: And don’t forget, Hollywood Mike Griffin and Infernus will be in tag team action for the chance to qualify for the triple threat tag team championship match at Animosity.

Troy: It’s sure to be a big night tonight, folks, and these fans in Russia are ready to go!

With that, Young Jeezy’s “And Then What” hits the speakers, and the fans begin booing loudly as Da Playboi Romeo makes his way to the ring. Romeo grabs the microphone and enters the ring.

Romeo: I bet you’re all wondering why I did what I did last week. And to that, I say I don’t have to answer to any of you. But, I feel like telling you, so I’ll go ahead. You see, Showtime Damon Savage, you became a victim last week, simply because I’m sick of hearing about you. People are talking about you like you’re the next big thing, and I got tired of hearing about it. People want to come out and start calling you the most dominant International Champion; well until you beat Romeo, you can’t begin to make that claim. I know it’s been a long time, but people can’t be forgetting what I did with that title. So Showtime, you wanted an answer, and now you got one. I don’t need a reason to kick your ass, but this time, I had one, and it was because I’m sick of hearing about you.

Suddenly, “Footprints” by G-Unit hits the speakers, and the fans begin cheering loudly as the International Champion Showtime Damon Savage makes his way to the ring. Showtime grabs a microphone and stands in front of Romeo.

Showtime: You don’t like the accolades I’m getting, huh? Well, if you wanna do something about it, why not step to my face and not attack me from behind?

Romeo: So what are you saying?

Showtime: I’m saying if you wanna come at me, come at me like a man. Let’s do this in the ring, one-on-one.

Romeo: I was hoping you’d say that. You want a match with me? Well I want it on pay-per-view, May 6 at Animosity. And, I want that International Championship on the line so I can show the world just who the most dominant International champ of all time really is.

Showtime: You want it? You’re on, punk.

Romeo: (smiling) You just made the biggest mistake of your career.

Showtime: Don’t count on it.

With that, Showtime tosses the mic down, “Footprints” replays, and he exits to a wave of cheers. Showtime backpedals up the ramp, as he and Romeo stare each other down and we take our first commercial break.

Troy: Showtime and Romeo at Animosity for the International Championship!

Hosemann: That should be nothing short of amazing!

Troy: You’ve got that right! We’ll be right back!

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

As we return from commercial, “Trust” by Sevendust explodes onto the speakers and Briggs makes his way to the ring, accompanied by both his new manager Walter Gindin, and a steady amount of jeers. The camera pans to the ring, where we see former International Champion Tony Annetta standing inside, ready for combat. Briggs enters over the top rope, and the bell sounds, with Annetta going hard and fast after the Canadian Destroyer.

Troy: Alright folks, this is Briggs’ first match back after his injury here in the PWA, and it comes against stiff competition in the form of Tony Annetta.

Hosemann: That’s right. I’ve had many battles against Annetta in the past, and I can tell you from firsthand experience that the man is no pushover.

* BRIGGS VS. TONY ANNETTA *
Referee: Matt Hansen
The bell sounds and Annetta takes the fight to Briggs hard and fast, and the fans get behind him. However, Annetta attempts to whip Briggs into the ropes, but Briggs reverses the whip, and destroys Annetta with a furious spinebuster as he returns! Briggs then lifts Annetta up and whips him hard and viciously into the corner, so hard that Annetta smacks against the ropes and falls right down to the mat. From there, Briggs signals with his thumb across his throat that the match is over. Briggs lifts Annetta off the mat and drills him down with a furious sit-out powerbomb! Briggs covers… one, two, three.

Troy: Oh my! What an impressive, impressive victory!

Hosemann: Briggs is back, and he is putting everyone on notice!
* WINNER VIA PINFALL: BRIGGS *

The fans begin booing as “Trust” replays and Briggs begins to make his exit. However, as he exits the ring, “Hear Me” by Darkseed explodes onto the speakers and the fans begin cheering thunderously! Briggs and Gindin stop in their tracks as they await the arrival of Solomon. However, the Alaskan Monster does not appear in person, but rather on the video screen.

Solomon: I’m not here in the building tonight, Briggs, not for my well being, but for yours. You want to make this personal, attack me from behind and take me out, continue this with us, continue this with myself and Gindin? Fine. I’m game. But we’re going to do it on my terms. You and me. Animosity. May 6. Be there, and we’ll settle this, once and for all.

From there, “Hear Me” replays over the speakers and the fans cheer loudly as Briggs and Gindin converse, with scowls on their faces.

Troy: Solomon wants Briggs at Animosity, but will Briggs accept?! We’ll be right back, folks!

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

Back from commercial, we are shown footage with a graphic reading “earlier today.” In the footage, we see PWA CEO Kerry Cox conversing with The Miracle Mike Troha.

Cox: So what is it that you want?

Troha: Well, I remember last week how you said you were going to give Mike Griffin and Infernus a chance to get themselves a shot at the Tag Team Championship in a triple threat match at Animosity by winning a match tonight.

Cox: Yeah, and?

Troha: Well, you know how much I dislike Griffin and the Legacy. And I think, if you’re going to have those two try to earn their way into a tag title match, I should be in the match to try to stop them.

Cox: Didn’t you promise Griffin that your last match at Requiem would be the end of it?

Troha: I know I did, but I don’t care, Kerry. He’s not going to just move on to the tag titles from that. I want him to realize that what I’ve done to him is going to affect him for a while, and there is no moving on from this. I want him to suffer. I want him…

Cox: Ok, ok. I get you. Still, you shouldn’t have claimed Requiem was the end if you didn’t intend it to be. It’s just false advertising. But, if that’s what you want, I suppose I could give it to you. Someone else came to earlier asking to be put into the match and didn’t care who his partner was, saying it’s been a while since he’s gotten to beat up on the brothers Griffin and he wouldn’t mind another round tonight.

Troha: Who?

Cox: Why, Jason Calysto, of course. So, if you don’t mind, I think what we’ll do is have ourselves a little match tonight pitting Griffin and Infernus against Troha and Calysto. How does that sound?

Troha: Hey, I’ll take it. Sounds fine to me.

Cox: Great. Good luck tonight then.

Troha: Thanks.

With that, Troha walks away and the video fades, and the camera takes us ringside to a live shot of Victor Troy and Scott Hosemann.

Troy: Alright folks, as you just heard, tonight, we’re going to see Hollywood Mike Griffin team up with Infernus to take on the team of former rivals The Miracle Mike Troha and The Iceman Jason Calysto, in a match where the winner will join champions Paul Dawkins and Renegade and Alpha Omega at Animosity in a triple threat match for the gold. However, before we get to that, let’s fill you in on what’s taken place thus far in the Golden Ring tournament. The first two nights of the tournament took place on Friday and Saturday night, and there were certainly some interesting happenings. First, you can view the clean brackets heading into the tournament HERE. Now, eight matches took place on Friday, followed by eight matches on Saturday, and you can see what happened HERE. After those matches, the brackets now look like THIS. As you can see, my colleague Scott Hosemann here turned back the clock a bit to beat Darrin Giles and advance to the second round.

Hosemann: That’s right, Troy. I thought it was a great match, but I know Giles a bit too well. I hit him with that Superstar Stunner, and it was too much for him.

Troy: Well Scott, you’re going to take on old foe Rudy Montenora in the next round now, how do you think you’ll fare in that one?

Hosemann: Well Troy, I’m going to just go out there and give it my all and hopefully I’ll be able to take this into the third round.

Troy: Also, my old broadcast colleague Paul Ferrara won his match and advanced, so Paul, best of luck to you next weekend against Bryan Conroy in the second round.

Hosemann: Definitely. Paul gets another chance at Conroy after both Requiem and last week on Frequency, so I’m definitely looking forward to seeing Paul go for revenge this weekend.

Troy: And in a big upset, Dean Nash defeated Jonathan Brett, officially ending Brett’s affiliation with the PWA.

Hosemann: Yeah Troy, I was definitely shocked to see that. But maybe Nash can carry the success to later tonight and earn himself a shot at the Progressive Championship at Animosity.

Troy: It would be quite the accomplishment if he could.

Hosemann: Absolutely.

Troy: Alright folks, the Golden Ring tournament continues this Friday and Saturday night at New York City’s Hammerstein Ballroom with the final two first round brackets. We’ll be sure to update you on all that took place right here next week. But speaking of the Golden Ring, the tournament’s benefactor, Bryan Conroy, is here tonight with his new manager, former ORA president Helen Summers, and they will be joining us, right after this.

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

Returning from commercial, Metallica’s “Sad But True” blasts onto the speakers, and the fans begin booing loudly as Bryan Conroy makes his way to the ring, alongside his manager Helen Summers. Conroy grabs a microphone, and the two enter the ring.

Conroy: You know, I find it amazing that you people have the unmitigated gall to sit there and boo me, after all I’ve done for all of you. The only reason that any of you are sitting here in the audience tonight is because I firmly entrenched the PWA brand into your brains. You people are ingrates in the worst sense of the word, and I will never forget it. Now, onto my tournament. I easily defeated Tony Annetta this past weekend in the first round, and in less than two weeks, I get Paul Ferrara in the second round. I’ve nearly tired of beating up on Ferrara, but what’s one more time? When this tournament is all said and done, it will be me that you will all see standing tall, the winner of my own tournament, a man who stood for principle, and a man who proved a point. The point is that the PWA is weak. It has been weak ever since I was forced out of here and you were left with an owner who has no idea what he’s doing, an owner who will run this company into the ground. Of course, I’m talking about Kerry Cox. One of the stupidest things he did was cast off the Organization of Responsible Advertisers, the ORA, one of the PWA’s biggest supporters, just because of this woman, Helen Summers’ affiliation with me. Cox, you are an idiot. And now, Ms. Summers is no longer employed by the ORA, and is under my employ, as my manager. So, ladies and gentlemen, I give you Ms. Helen Summers!

Helen: Bryan is right. You people are vastly unappreciative of all that is done for you. Bryan Conroy is the man that created PWA, and he gets treated like an outsider upon his return to the company, something that should have been glorious. As for myself, I worked very closely with Bryan, and with the PWA, for several years, but Kerry Cox had to revolt against the ORA when he took power. He didn’t realize that without the support of the ORA, the PWA was substantially weakened as a financial entity. I hope you people realize just how great an injustice it is that Bryan Conroy is not the owner of this company, while an impostor runs around, claiming to be directing this company. Cox, you provide no direction, only misdirection. You are a joke of an owner, and…

Suddenly, “War Machine” blasts onto the speakers, and the fans begin cheering loudly as the CEO Kerry Cox appears from behind the curtain, microphone in tow. He pauses on the stage and begins speaking.

Cox: You know what? I can’t listen to any more of this. Conroy, Summers, can you two get to the point and tell me exactly why you’re back here in the PWA in the first place? I’m pretty sure this has all to do with me, so just spit it out already.

Conroy: Alright Cox, you want the reason? We’re back here to show the people just how pathetic things have become with you at the helm, and then show them how great things could have been with me, i.e. the Golden Ring tournament. Soon enough, people will realize what a joke you are and call for your resignation, and then I will have my company back.

Cox: So that’s what this is all about?

Conroy: What else could it be about? I’ll never forgive you for taking my company away from me.

Cox: Well you know what then? Let’s settle this in the ring, like men. You’re a full time wrestler now, right? Well, I can still go too. So, if you’ve got a problem with me, let’s go tear each other’s heads off on pay-per-view, May 6 at Animosity!

Conroy: I suppose I can’t say no to that even if I wanted to, huh boss? You’ve got yourself a match.

Cox: There we go. Was that so hard? So now I’ll kick your ass at Animosity, and these people won’t have to hear you whine anymore.

Conroy: Whatever you say, Cox. We’ll see what happens at Animosity.

Cox then stares down Conroy and Summers, who stare back ardently at him as the camera fades.

Troy: Oh my! It’s going to be Cox vs. Conroy at Animosity! What huge news!

Hosemann: That IS huge, Troy! I can’t wait!

Troy: Neither can I! We’ll be right back!

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --

Back from break, “Parabola” by TOOL blasts onto the speakers, and the fans begin booing loudly as Justin Schenck leads Hollywood Mike Griffin and Infernus to the ring for tag team action. The two ready themselves in the ring as “Arcarsenal” by At the Drive-In blares onto the speakers and the boos turn to sizeable cheers as The Miracle Mike Troha makes his way to the ring! Troha pauses at the foot of the ramp, awaiting his partner. Several moments later, he gets what he is looking for, as “F*ckin in the Bushes” by Oasis thumps onto the speakers and the roof nearly comes off the Dvorec Sporta Arena as The Iceman Jason Calysto makes his way out! Calysto and Troha meet up at the bottom of the ramp, and slide into the ring together, prompting Griffin and Infernus to simultaneously exit. The bell then sounds, and Troha and Infernus are chosen to start the match.

Troy: Alright, here we go. A berth in the triple threat tag team championship match that already includes the champs Paul Dawkins and Renegade, and Alpha Omega, is at stake here.

Hosemann: This should be a good one.

* THE ICEMAN JASON CALYSTO & THE MIRACLE MIKE TROHA VS. HOLLYWOOD MIKE GRIFFIN & INFERNUS *
Referee: Dan Martin
Troha and Infernus lock up in the center of the ring, and Troha easily muscles Infernus down to the mat. Infernus regroups and gets back up, looking for another lock up. However, this time, Troha simply smacks him across the face, and demands Griffin be tagged into the match. Griffin, however, sees this, and gives Troha the middle finger. This infuriates Troha, but when he charges Griffin, Infernus grabs him in a waistlock and takes him down with a hard suplex. Infernus stomps away hard on Troha, but it isn’t enough to keep Troha down. The Miracle ultimately works his way back to a vertical base, and takes Infernus down with a hard clothesline! Then, Troha whips Infernus into the ropes and downs him with a hard back body drop! With Infernus reeling, Troha tags Calysto into the match!

Troy: And here comes the Iceman!

Hosemann: Troha has been on an absolute roll, and here comes Calysto to pick up right where he left off!

Calysto comes in and grabs Infernus by his foot, dragging him back to the middle of the ring and rendering him unable to make a tag. Infernus is slow to his feet, but when he does reach a vertical base, the Iceman shoves him into the corner and begins stinging him with hard, repeated knife-edge chops! As Infernus stumbles out of the corner, Calysto bounces off the ropes and nails Infernus with a hard spinning heel kick! Griffin is begging for the tag as Calysto goes to the top rope and nails Infernus with the Bottom Line! The fans are now on their feet as Infernus gets to his, and Calysto drives Infernus down hard with the Crossface!

Troy: The Crossface! Calysto has it locked on good!

Hosemann: This one should be history, folks!

Mike Griffin tries to enter the ring to break it up, but the referee stops him! However, with the referee’s attention diverted, Justin Schenck runs over and places Infernus’ hand on the bottom rope! The referee then turns around and sees this, and he orders Calysto to break the hold! However, Calysto is in a zone, not realizing Infernus’ hand has been placed on the ropes! Referee Martin warns Calysto to break by the count of five, but the Iceman will not and cannot listen! Martni then reaches the count of five and calls for the bell!

Troy: What just happened?!

Calysto breaks the hold, and raises his arms in victory, but then ring announcer Lee Palmer begins to speak.

Palmer: Ladies and gentlemen, due to Jason Calysto’s refusal to break the Crossface by the count of five after Infernus reached the ropes, the referee has disqualified Calysto and Mike Troha and awards this match to Hollywood Mike Griffin and Infernus!

The fans boo vociferously and Schenck collects his extremely fortunate duo and exits quickly. Calysto is furious in the ring, yelling at the referee, who quickly high-tails it out of there after defending his call. Mike Troha now enters the ring and gets in Calysto’s face, extremely pissed off. Troha shouts at Calysto, and Calysto shouts back. However, after a brief shouting match, Troha calms down and cooler heads prevail. The Iceman then lets his guard down, which is precisely when Troha rears back and clocks Calysto in the jaw with a brutal right hand that floors him! The fans are shocked as Troha mounts Calysto and begins pummeling him with repeated lefts and rights! The fans begin booing loudly as Troha then lifts Calysto up and destroys him with Divine Intervention! The Miracle then spits on Calysto’s prone body and exits to the back with a power-walk, not stopping for any fans, who boo at great volume as we go to commercial.

Troy: What the hell has gotten into Troha?!

Hosemann: I don’t know, Troy! He appears to have just snapped, and has now laid Jason Calysto out in the middle of that ring!

Troy: This is unbelievable! Folks, stick with us, we’ll be right back!
