THE COVERED HALL AT
SEGMENT 1: INTRODUCTION:
A video package airs, highlighting events that took place
last week on Frequency, as Jaguar and GI Jew were massacred in a six-man tag
team match where they teamed with Scythe against PWA Champion Romeo, ORA
Champion Anthony Failla, and Hollywood Mike Griffin. Scythe was occupied with an interfering
Dexter P. Wellington, and the three crowd nuisances mercilessly attacked Jaguar
and Jew, getting disqualified, but doing damage in the process. The opening
credits then roll as
Troy: You’re right, Paul! Let’s get right down to ringside with our
opening contest, for the International Championship!
SEGMENT 2: MATCH
1: PWA INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP: JACKIE BACCARO © VS. JAMES BIAMONTE:
Referee:
Dan Martin
The crowd settles once the pyro and music die down, but they rise again once "Still Ballin" by 2Pac and Trick Daddy hits the speakers. A huge pop sets the stage for the arrival of James Biamonte, who looks extremely focused as he makes his way down to the ring.
Biamonte climbs into the ring and warms up by bouncing himself off of the ropes as "Things Done Changed" by The Notorious B.I.G. takes over. Jackie Baccaro walks out first, followed by Vulture. The cleanly dressed former World Champion looks to be talking to Baccaro, but his words are shrugged off until after Baccaro poses in front of his streaming gold pyrotechnics atop the stage. Vulture removes his shades, shaking his head at Baccaro, who calms him down before stepping into the ring and posing with his belt on the turnbuckles.
Troy: No matter what
Vulture or anyone else says, Jackie Baccaro is beaming with confidence.
Ferrara: And with
good reason, but he might have a little too much confidence tonight. It was his
open challenge that got this match signed, but Jackie has never faced James
Biamonte before. Its nearly impossible to prepare for what this guy can do
because he is so erratic. And I'm not even talking about the ring either.
Baccaro hands his belt to Dan Martin, who holds it up high before handing it to the timekeeper. The bell sounds and the action gets underway with a lockup in the middle of the ring. Baccaro easily muscles Biamonte back to a corner, where Martin calls for a clean break. Baccaro gives it, surprisingly, before waiting for another lock up.
They lock up again, and this time, Baccaro executes a go behind. He follows up with a clubbing blow to the back of the neck that sends Biamonte down fast. Baccaro stomps Biamonte in the back before whipping him to the ropes and downing him with a powerslam! Baccaro makes a cover for one...two...and Biamonte kicks out.
Baccaro stays aggressive by pounding Biamonte in the back and punishing his back further with a vertical suplex. Baccaro backs up to the ropes and perches himself on the middle turnbuckle before planting an elbow right into Biamonte's sternum! Baccaro covers again for a two count.
Baccaro gets Biamonte off the canvas and drives him backwards into a corner. He buries a shoulder deep into Biamonte’s midsection, and then does it two more times, sending the former Progressive Champion into a slumping position in the corner. Baccaro poses to the crowd, who boos him tremendously. He cockily slaps Biamonte right in the face before turning his back on him to pose some more.
Baccaro poses for the crowd, but Vulture goes ballistic in telling him to turn around. Baccaro does so, but Biamonte springs out of the corner and drives him to the mat with his hand locked around his throat in a chokehold!
Martin gets Biamonte to break the hold before the count of five, but there is no calming Biamonte down at his point. He backs Baccaro into another corner and follows up with over a dozen kicks and stomps until Baccaro is in a seated position. Baccaro can barely catch his breath before Biamonte runs forward and knees him in the face, sending the champion's head snapping backwards violently!
Biamonte lifts Baccaro out of the corner by the arm before draping it across his chest and driving him down backwards with The JB Cutter! Biamonte then rises to his feet and runs his thumb across his throat, signaling for the match to end via The Buzzkill.
With Baccaro reeling, Vulture climbs into the ring behind the referee and the crowd looks on in confusion as he clubs the official down from behind! Biamonte's head turns quickly to his cousin, who bolts from the ring as Martin shakes off the cobwebs and calls for the bell! Baccaro rolls out of the ring as Biamonte talks to the shaken up referee. The crowd is stunned until Lee Palmer brings the official announcement.
Palmer: The winner
of this contest via disqualification is James Biamonte! However, titles cannot
change hands on disqualifications, so still The PWA International Champion,
Jackie Baccaro!
Biamonte fumes with anger in the ring as Vulture and Baccaro walk to the back, grateful to still have The International Title in their camp.

SEGMENT 3: BACKSTAGE:
Back from commercial, Vulture and Jackie Baccaro enter
their dressing room, all smiles, the International Championship belt intact.
Vulture:
Alright, we got out of that one!
Baccaro: Yeah man. I told you we would. I may be confident, but I’m not an
idiot. I realize how dangerous Biamonte
can be, and I was willing to get out there any way possible. Thanks for that.
Vulture: Just doing my job.
Baccaro: But the bottom line is that
this belt is still right where it belongs, and we can move on.
Vulture: Absolutely.
Baccaro: So who we going after next?
Vulture: No one. Sit back and let em come to you. You’re the champ, you can live easy for a
bit.
Baccaro: Hey, where’s Lauren? Isn’t she supposed to be here cooking?
Vulture: Yeah she is. That’s a good question.
Lauren: I’m right here guys.
They turn around to find Lauren standing in the doorway, with Commissioner
Kerry Cox.
Vulture:
Where were you?
Lauren: Just having a little chat with
the commish.
Vulture: Why?
Lauren: Oh nothing. You wanna tell them, Kerry?
Cox: Yeah, I’ll take it. Congratulations on retaining the title,
Baccaro.
Baccaro: Uh, thanks.
Cox: But, you know, Lauren just came
into my office and told me how neither of you were going to be happy with that
match ending on disqualification, and how you were really hoping to defeat
James Biamonte via pinfall. She
suggested a rematch, and I thought that was a great idea. So, on May 7 at Animosity, we’re gonna have
Jackie Baccaro vs. James Biamonte for the International Championship in a
rematch, and this time, to prevent any funny business, the title will change
hands on count-out AND disqualification!
Have a good night, gentlemen.
Cox then exits and Lauren smiles at Vulture and Baccaro, prompting Vulture
to lunge at her in fury. Baccaro holds
him back as Lauren slowly and confidently walks away, having won this battle.
SEGMENT 4: BACKSTAGE:
The camera cuts to another portion of the backstage area,
where the Lost Souls are with PWA owner Bryan Conroy, ORA president Helen
Summers, and PWA Lt. Commissioner F. Anthony Annetta.
Speed Demon: Why can’t we have another shot?
Conroy: Because you simply don’t deserve
one at this point.
Reaper: We’re three-time tag team
champions, doesn’t that count for something?
Summers: It’s impressive, but guys, you
lost your return match. You’re back to
the back of the line now.
Demon: Isn’t there something we can do?
Conroy: I don’t think so.
Annetta: I have an idea.
Summers: You do.
Annetta: Yeah. You two want another title shot?
Demon: Absolutely.
Reaper: Definitely.
Annetta: Then show us why. Go out there tonight and show us why you
deserve another shot.
Reaper: But we’re not even booked.
Annetta: So be creative.
The Lost Souls smile to each other and exit the office simultaneously. As they walk, Speed Demon bumps into an
attractive brunette. He stops to turn
around and notices it is newcomer Dana Chapman.
Dana:
I’m sorry, I wasn’t watching where I was going.
Demon: Oh that’s okay. I wasn’t watching either. I’m sorry too. Dana, right?
Dana: Yeah. I’m new around here. You guys are the Lost Souls, I’m a big
fan. Especially of you, Demon.
Demon: Thanks.
Dana: You’re very entertaining. And you’re kinda cute.
Speed Demon laughs and Reaper is seen growing a bit annoyed.
Demon:
Thanks. You’re pretty cute
yourself.
Reaper: Demon, we gotta get going. We’ve got work to do.
Dana: I won’t keep you. It was nice meeting you.
Demon: Very nice meeting you too.
Demon and Reaper then exit and Dana stands in place, smiling for a moment
before turning and leaving in the opposite direction.

SEGMENT 5: MATCH 2: PWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: PAUL EPTON & JOHN WOLFE © VS. JON DULBERG
& VLADIMIR VYDRINA:
Referee:
Jose Soares
The murmuring of the crowd quickly changes to raucous jeering when
"Not Falling" by Mudvayne suddenly plays. Their disdain towards the
team of Jon Dulberg and Vladimir Vydrina do not phase the challengers, who head
to the ring with Natasha Vydrina, and “Not That” Rodney King. With the
exception of Vladimir, who bears the look of death on his face, the entourage
cannot help but crack a smile, knowing of the opportunity that they have been
presented with. Dulberg and Vydrina climb into the ring and step onto the
turnbuckles, holding their arms up high to a crowd that attempts to boo them
out of the stadium. Before long, "Stockholm Syndrome" by Muse plays,
and the crowd gives it up for the Tag Team Champions, Paul Epton and John
Wolfe! Although fairly new to the PWA, the Champions are no strangers to the
audience. They walk down the aisle with confident smiles, although once they reach
the ring, it’s all business. Epton and Wolfe remove their belts and hold them
up high for the crowd, before handing them to the referee, who signals for the
bell.
Troy: The Tag Team Championship is on the line, and it’s a
tremendous opportunity for Jon Dulberg and Vladimir Vydrina. Do you think they
have a chance, Paul?
Epton decides to start the match with Dulberg, while Wolfe and
Vydrina step out onto the apron. The two lock up in the center, and Epton
begins to force Dulberg back into a corner. The referee calls for a clean
break, which Epton gives. They lock up in the middle once again, but Dulberg
cuts it short this time and knees Epton in the stomach, followed by a suplex.
Dulberg goes for a pin cover, but barely receives a one count.
Dulberg yanks Epton off the mat and whips him into the ropes, but the
Tag Champ ducks beneath the clothesline and comes back with a bulldog,
plastering Dulberg’s face against the canvas! Epton quickly gets back to his
feet and rushes to his corner to tag in Wolfe! The big man enters the ring to a
big ovation as Dulberg begins to get back to a vertical base, but Wolfe mows
him down with a huge clothesline from behind! Before Dulberg can even get up,
Wolfe wraps both arms around him and plants him into the mat with a german
suplex!
Wolfe is back on the attack, but a rush of jeers pour down from
the crowd when the Lost Souls unexpectedly rush down to the ring with chairs in
hand! They slide into the ring, and Reaper cracks Wolfe across the back with
the chair, before swinging it hard into Epton, who topples off the apron! Demon
delivers a blow to Dulberg, sending him crumbling to the mat! Vydrina gets into
the ring, but he falls victim to a vile con-chair-to! King and Natasha flee the
seen as the Lost Souls continue to lay waste to the four men in the ring.
“A Violent Reaction” by American Head Charge begins playing in the
background, as Demon and Reaper stand tall with chairs in hand. The boos
continue to flow as we head to a commercial.

SEGMENT 7: RINGSIDE:
Back from commercial, “F*ckin in the Bushes” by Oasis blasts onto
the speakers and the fans begin cheering wildly for The Iceman Jason Calysto as
he makes his way to the ring. Calysto
does not have a pleasant look on his face as he grabs a microphone and heads
into the ring.
Calysto:
I’ll start this by saying I haven’t been having the best month. It started on March 12, at Salvation, when I
was beaten by Solomon. I thought I had
the big bastard beat, and Walter Gindin had to get himself involved to lead him
back to victory. Then there was the crap
with Infernus. I’ll be the first to
admit it. I got tricked. They set me up, and I should have seen it
coming. I got hurt that night, and have
been sitting at home for the past few weeks, but now’s the time to do something
about it. Solomon and Infernus know how
serious I am after what I did to them last week. But right now, I’m not concerned with
Infernus. I’m not concerned with
Gindin. I’m concerned with Solomon. So Solomon, get your ass here, and leave the
other two in the back. I’ve got
something to say.
Moments later, “Hear Me” by Darkseed hits and Solomon emerges from behind
the curtain to a chorus of boos, alone.
Solomon makes his way down to the ring, grabs a microphone, and heads
into the ring.
Solomon:
What do you want? Haven’t you
learned your lesson?
Calysto: My lesson? Solomon, you were lucky to beat me at
Salvation, and you know it. Given the
chance, you wouldn’t be able to do it again.
Solomon: Calysto,
you may be a Hall of Famer, but neither you nor your reputation scares me. I was undefeated for a year and a half around
here. I am a former PWA World
Champion. I have only been pinned once
in a one-on-one match. I have NEVER been
forced to tap out…
Calysto: Let me cut you off there. Yes, you have never tapped out. But let me let you in on a little
something. You have never faced me in a
submission match, because Solomon, in submission matches, the man with the
undefeated streak is ME.
Solomon: So let me get this straight. YOU are challenging ME to a submission
match?!
Calysto: You bet your ass. I want you, one-on-one, in a submission
match, May 7 at Animosity. Just you and
me, finding out who the better man really is.
Solomon: Well Calysto, I think we already
know who the better man is. But if it
will make you sleep better at night to get your ass kicked by me one more time,
I’m game. You want it at Animosity? You’ve got it. Get ready for your first submission match
loss in history.
Calysto: No Solomon. Get ready to tap out like a little BITCH for
the first time in your life.
Solomon and Calysto then stare each other down with
intensity as “F*ckin in the Bushes” hits and we take another commercial break.
