A
video package airs, highlighting events that took place last week on Frequency,
with Speed Demon returning to the PWA, coming to the aid of Scythe and GI Jew
later in the evening. From there, “By_Myslf” by
Hosemann: That’s right,
Hosemann: You said it! Speed Demon has returned, we are charging full speed
ahead to Animosity, and we have some big matches lined up tonight!
Hosemann: Given the matches already signed for Animosity, along with the
history between Tantalus and Solomon, that is sure to be a tremendously
interesting bout!
Troy: Also, folks, Keiko Ishida has exercised the rematch clause in her
contract for the Women’s Championship, and she will be granted that opportunity
tonight! That’s right, tonight, one-on-one, it will be Morgan Day defending the
title against Keiko Ishida!
Hosemann: It’s always something special when those two get in the ring
together!
Hosemann: I know you can’t, Troy, and…
Suddenly,
Hosemann is cut off by the sounds of Metallica’s “Sad
But True” blaring over the speakers and Bryan Conroy
and manager Helen Summers making their way to the ring to a thunderously
negative reaction.
Hosemann: Who knows, but these two always have something to say, so I can’t say
I’m surprised.
Conroy
grabs a microphone and the two enter the ring, amidst wild boos.
Conroy: You know, I thought we’d come
here to
With that,
“War Machine” by KISS thumps onto the speakers, and the fans begin cheering
loudly as the CEO of the PWA Kerry Cox makes his way to the ring, accompanied
by the commissioner, Paul Ferrara! Cox grabs his own microphone, and the two
step into the ring.
Conroy: How dare you interrupt me?!
Cox: You know Conroy, I’m kind of intrigued myself now. Why exactly DID you
come back here, if all you’re going to do is gloat about your successes since
August, and bitch about the fact you were forced out of here? Surely there’s a
reason, so why don’t you share it with everyone?
Before Conroy can answer, Summers answers for him.
Summers: Do you have any idea who you’re
talking to, Cox? You may be the owner of this company in name, but you are
talking to Bryan Conroy. Bryan Conroy is the reason all of these people are
fans of this company, the reason why this company is prosperous. You are a
bottom-feeder, Kerry Cox, and you and your obese friend are taking this company
straight to hell!
Cox: So what are you now, his head cheerleader? Why don’t you just get on your
knees before him and do what you do best? But I’m sure you do enough of that to
him in your spare time!
Summers: How dare you suggest that! Bryan Conroy is a married man! I would
never!
Conroy: Cox, you reek of inappropriate. Helen is a friend, nothing more, and
you are just trying to skew the facts away from the truth, the truth that you
are ruining my company. And don’t think it will ever change from being my
company. Everyone in this arena tonight, along with every fan around the world
knows that the PWA is the brainchild and the creation of Mr. Bryan Conroy, and nothing will ever change that.
Summers: Shouldn’t you be on a treadmill somewhere?
Conroy: Seriously
Cox: You know what, Conroy? I just realized I can’t deal with this. We can
fight all we want, but this issue between us is never going to be settled.
Conroy: Cox, I came here to destroy you. I will not leave until that goal is
accomplished.
Cox: I wouldn’t expect any less of you. But you know what? This can’t continue
like this. I can’t be free to run this company as long as you’re around. But, I
have a proposal for you. It starts with the Golden Ring. You have dates
scheduled through Animosity, through the first three rounds of the tournament.
But how about we bring the final three rounds of the tournament to Frequency? Let’s
have the quarterfinals on May 9 on May 16, the semifinals on May 23, and the
finals on the big 200th episode of the program on May 30?
Conroy: What are you trying to pull, Cox? You know I will never let you make a
profit off my tournament. There must be something else.
Cox: Oh there is. I want you to put ownership rights to the Golden Ring
tournament on the line at Animosity in our match.
Conroy: You’re out of your mind!
Cox: Not only that, I want you to agree to void your wrestler contract with the
PWA if you lose, and be gone.
Conroy: Cox, you really have gone off your rocker this time. Why would I put
that stuff on the line?
Cox: Because I’ll put ownership of this company back on the line if you do it.
Listen Conroy, let’s face it, we cannot co-exist. So, at Animosity, let’s do
what needs to be done. If you win, I sell you back the PWA. I still have a
wrestler’s contract, so if you wanted to fire me, you’d have to come up with
something really creative, but I doubt I’d stick around to work for you anyway.
If I win, however, the Golden Ring tournament becomes mine, and you’re gone for
good. Of course, should either of us continue on in the Golden Ring tournament
into the later, televised rounds, we’ll continue on and get to continue
appearing until elimination. But win or lose, Conroy,
that $500 grand on the line is still your money. And if I win, I will not only
give the winner of the tournament the money, but also a future shot at the PWA
Championship.
Conroy: Well I can’t say I’d do the same in that situation. But Cox, for once,
you’re actually saying something that makes sense. I’ve laid it all on the line
against you once before, Cox, and I’m not afraid to do it again. I have nothing
to lose here, and I don’t even know what you have to gain.
Cox: I gain you out of my company and out of my life forever. To me, it’s worth
the risk.
Conroy: Well then, you’re on, pal. I’ll see you at Animosity.
Conroy, Summers, Cox, and
Hosemann: We’re going to see Everlasting Epic all over again! This is insanity!
Unbelievable!
Troy: What the hell is going to happen at Animosity when Cox and Conroy lay
everything on the line, winner take all, literally?! We’ll be right back!

BREAK --
Back
from break, the fans begin booing loudly as “The Stone Monkey” by Kazu Matsui blares onto the speakers and Keiko Ishida makes
her way to the ring, accompanied by manager Walter Gindin. The superagent leads his client to the ring for her Women’s
Championship rematch, and Ishida looks primed and ready for her opportunity.
Troy: This is quite the
opportunity for Keiko here in Paris tonight, Scott.
Hosemann: That’s right,
As
Ishida readies herself in the ring, “Dead Promises” by The Rasmus
overtakes the speakers, and the fans begin cheering thunderously as the Women’s
Champion Morgan Day starts down the aisle. Morgan’s pyro shoots from the cornerposts and the champion, all business, heads down to
the ring. Morgan enters and doesn’t even wait for the bell to ring, blasting
Keiko with repeated forearms to the head as the bell sounds!
Troy: Alright, here we go!
Hosemann: Morgan certainly
isn’t wasting any time here!
* PWA WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP:
MORGAN DAY © VS. KEIKO ISHIDA *
Referee: Dan Martin
Morgan
backs Keiko up with the forearms, enough to whip her against the ropes and down
her with a hard, fast back body drop as she returns! Keiko springs right back
to a vertical base, and Morgan takes her down with a deep armdrag!
Keiko then gets up one more time, and Morgan nails her with a quick dropkick
that sends Ishida tumbling through the ropes and to the outside! Morgan plays to
the crowd quickly, which cheers her thunderously!
Hosemann: They are behind Morgan one hundred percent,
Keiko
takes some time with her manager Gindin on the outside before starting back
into the ring. When Keiko re-enters, she initiates Morgan in a lock up. Morgan
obliges, and the lock up ensues. Keiko gets the better of it at first, shoving
Morgan down to the mat, which prompts the fans to boo loudly. However, Morgan
gets up, and the two lock up again. This time, Keiko locks Morgan in a
headlock, but Morgan is able to battle out of it with a series of foreams to the side, followed by shoving Ishida against the
ropes, breaking the hold. Ishida rushes back at her from the opposite ropes,
and Morgan leapfrogs over her, hits the mat, and monkey flips Keiko down again
as she returns!
Hosemann: She is proving exactly why she is the Women’s Champion here tonight,
Morgan
lifts Keiko up and whips her against the ropes, but Keiko nails her with a
furious forearm to the jaw as she returns! Morgan is downed hard, and Keiko
picks her up and whips her into the corner, following her in with a furious
splash. Keiko then perches Morgan on the top rope, and downs the champion with
a thunderous superplex from the top rope all the way
down to the mat! Keiko, at length, covers… one, two, and Morgan just narrowly
escapes!
Hosemann: It sure was,
Keiko
sizes Morgan up, waiting for her to rise so that she can let loose with her
devastating running STO. Morgan does make it to her feet, but as she does,
Keiko charges at her for the STO, only for Morgan to duck down under it, having
the move scouted! With Keiko now off balance, Morgan boots her in the stomach,
and nails her with the Daybreak right in the center of the ring! Morgan goes
for the cover, but Gindin has jumped onto the apron and is distracting referee
Dan Martin! Morgan starts over to the referee, trying to get his attention
back, but Magnifica enters the arena through the crowd unbeknownst to Morgan,
grabs the title belt, enters the ring and, when Morgan turns around, Magnifica
bashes her hard in the skull with her own belt! Magnifica then quickly exits
the ring and flees. Meanwhile, Keiko and Morgan begin to slowly make it to
their feet. Keiko is up first, and when Morgan also rises, Keiko lets loose
with the running STO, connecting with thunderous force! Keiko covers… one, two,
three.
Hosemann:
The fans
boo loudly as “The Stone Monkey” replays and Keiko Ishida is crowned Women’s
Champion for the third time. Keiko appears to be unaware of the fact that she
received help from Magnifica, while Gindin wears a look that clearly indicates
the situation was pre-meditated, at least on his end. Gindin and Ishida exit,
with Ishida wearing a look of pride and holding her freshly won championship
close.
Hosemann: Say what you will about the
situation, though,
Troy: Oh I can accept it, Scott, but I just don’t have to like it. And I don’t.
I think it stinks! Morgan Day was robbed here tonight, and Keiko Ishida is
making off with the Women’s Championship, thanks to Magnifica! This just is not
right! We’ll be right back!
* WINNER VIA PINFALL AND NEW WOMEN’S CHAMPION:
KEIKO ISHIDA *

As
we return from break, we see Magnifica laughing with the PWA World Heavyweight
Champion Jackie Baccaro backstage. Then, suddenly, Morgan Day charges at
Magnifica out of nowhere and spears her into the wall! Morgan pounds away on
Magnifica viciously, and the fans in the arena cheer wildly! Baccaro tries to
pry Morgan off Magnifica, but security is able to storm the scene first and
separate the two. Morgan refuses to stop lunging after Magnifica, however, and
nails a member of the security team with an accidental forearm to the head!
From there, with Morgan screaming “I’ll kill you, Magnifica! I’ll kill you!”
security escorts her right out of the building. Baccaro checks on Magnifica,
who checks on her own jaw, as we take a break.
Hosemann: Would you be,

BREAK --
As
we return, “Edge of the Earth” by 30 Seconds to Mars is blaring over the
speakers, and Loki is settling himself in the ring, amidst a chorus of boos.
After he is settled, “Opium of the People” by Slipknot explodes onto the
speakers, and the fans cheer thunderously as GI Jew makes his way to the ring!
Jew wastes no time in hitting the ring, seeing that Loki’s
Army of the Damned cohorts are not at ringside, and darts right down the aisle
and into the ring, pounding away on him and getting this match started fast!
Hosemann: They’re going it hard and fast! And there goes the bell!
* GI JEW VS. LOKI *
Referee: Billy Vargas
Loki and Jew pounds away on each other viciously, but it is Jew that develops
the overwhelming edge in the early going, pounding him all the way back to the
corner and proceeding to wail on Loki with vicious rights and lefts that take
him off his feet! Jew then continues to pound on him until Loki is seemingly no
longer even able to defend himself properly! The fans continue their cheering, and
Jew sets Loki up in the corner, looking to charge at him and smash him in the
skull with his knee! However, at the last second, Loki is able to move out of
the way, and Jew goes crashing chest-first into the corner! Loki takes quick
advantage of this, downing Jew with a back suplex as he staggers backwards.
Hosemann: Loki has no intention of being a pushover,
Loki
continues the offense on Jew, lifting him up, whipping him against the ropes,
and stinging him with a hard powerslam! Loki
covers…one, two, and Jew kicks out. Loki then signals for his signature Atheist
superkick, and the fans boo loudly. Jew is slow to
his feet, and when he gets up, Loki lets loose with the kick, but Jew catches Loki’s foot, spins him around, and nails him with a hard
overhead belly-to-belly suplex! With the fans cheering hard, Jew sets up for
the Gore! However, before he is able to hit the move, Bishop Cross and Reaper
charge the ring and club Jew down from behind, prompting a disqualification!
Cross,
Reaper, and Loki do a three-on-one beating on Jew, until Scythe storms out from
the back to make the save! Scythe quickly takes down Reaper and Loki, but is
then clubbed down hard from behind by Cross! The Army takes over, and the three
do a number on Jew and Scythe, but suddenly, the lights go out! The fans cheer
wildly, and when the lights go back on, a crowbar-wielding Speed Demon is
standing in the ring! The fans go wild, and the entire Army wants nothing to do
with him, as Cross takes his men and leaves the arena without question. Scythe
and Jew begin to come to and stare confusedly at Demon in the ring as
“Determined” by Mudvayne blares over the speakers,
and Demon dares his enemies to return to the ring!
Hosemann: He sure does,

As
we return from commercial, we are taken backstage, where Greg Tantalus is
readying himself for his tag team match later tonight. As Tantalus stretches
out in his dressing room, there is a knock at his door. He tells the person to
come inside, and when the door opens, a welcoming smile appears on Greg’s face.
Voice: Hey! How are you?!
When the camera pans out, we can see that the visitor is none other than
Greg’s sister, and three-time PWA Women’s Champion, Lauren Tantalus!
Greg: Hey sis! How are you?!
Lauren: I’m good, I’m good. Oh my God, I haven’t seen you in ages! Then when I
heard the PWA was coming to
Greg: Well, this is definitely quite the surprise. I’m so glad to see you.
Lauren: I’m glad to see you too! I’ve missed everyone so much since I’ve been
away, but I’m happy with what I’m doing now. I can take not being a wrestler
anymore, for sure.
Male voice: Well look what the cat drug in.
The
siblings Tantalus turn to the entrance door and notice both the PWA Champion
Jackie Baccaro and Magnifica standing there. A look of sheer contempt
noticeably appears on Lauren’s face as she sees Baccaro, the man who send her
out of the PWA last June with a vicious Baccaro Bomb, and Magnifica, a woman
she was trained to despise during her relationship with Vulture and a woman who
treated her very poorly during their brief overlap in affiliation with the 2003
faction Strength In Numbers.
Baccaro: You know, I thought I killed
you.
Magnifica: I thought you did too. It’s a damn shame you didn’t.
Lauren: I really don’t think there’s any place for you here right now.
Magnifica: I don’t think you were asked.
Baccaro: Visit with your brother on your own time. We came down here on
business to tell you, Greg, that tonight, you’d better watch yourself. Because
if I see the opportunity to take you out, and take you out for good, I won’t
pass it up. So be on your toes.
Greg: You just try it, Baccaro, and you’ll see what happens.
Lauren: You know what Jackie, you’re an asshole. You always were an asshole. And Magnifica? You’re a bitch. Leave us alone.
Baccaro and Magnifica wear serious looks for about a second, and then burst
out in laughter.
Baccaro: Real intimidating, Lauren. Seriously.
Magnifica: Yeah. Ooh, he’s an asshole, and I’m a bitch. How insulting. Listen,
Lauren, we might take greater offense to that if you weren’t, you know, a
cripple.
Baccaro: That’s right. What have you had, 200 concussions or something? You’re
no threat to us.
Magnifica: What would you do, Lauren? Bake a cake and throw it at us? Face it.
You’re helpless. So go run back to
With
that, Baccaro and Magnifica exit, but not before glaring at the two Tantaluses. Greg and Lauren each look extremely pissed off,
Lauren a bit more so than Greg, as the camera fades.
Back
at ringside, “Arcarsenal” by At the Drive-In
overtakes the speakers, and the fans begin booing as The Miracle Mike Troha
makes his way to the ring. Troha grabs a microphone and enters the ring.
Troha: Jeez. You people will cheer for a
guy for months on end, throw all your support behind him, and make him really
feel like he had been wrong about you for all these years, and then as soon as
he does something you don’t agree with, as soon as he has an issue with one of
your true beloveds, you turn on him so fast it will make your head spin. What a
fickle bunch you wrestling fans are. But you know what? I could care less. The
issue now is Jason Calysto. Calysto, last week, you were assigned to be my
partner on a night where my one objective was to keep Mike Griffin as far away
from championship gold as possible. I know I said I was going to be done with
him after Requiem, but the fact that he was put in such a position so shortly
after aggravated me. I wanted to make sure he stayed down, stayed out. I was
given you, Calysto, as a partner, and you failed me. You directly caused their
winning, and you are the reason that Mike Griffin gets to just move on and
forget about me, forget about our feud. Well Iceman, at Animosity, it’s official. I get you, one-on-one, and we are going to
settle this. We are no strangers to one another. In fact, you were the first person I feuded
with upon entering the PWA in late 2002. And believe me, Calysto,
I’m going to take pleasure in what I’m going to do to you at Animosity.
Suddenly, “F*ckin in the Bushes” by Oasis blasts
onto the speakers, and the fans begin cheering thunderously as The Iceman Jason
Calysto makes his way to the ring. Calysto grabs a microphone and steps into
the ring, right opposite Troha.
Calysto: I don’t know what happened to
you, man, but something about this
Troha: That sounds fine to me. One match is all I need to beat your ass and
show you why it’s a bad idea to get involved in Mike Troha’s
business.
Calysto: Whatever Troha. Just be sure and have that right hand ready to tap on
the 6th.
Troha: Oh it’s ready, Calysto. Here, I’ll show you.
Before
Troha can even finish his sentence, he rears back and clocks Calysto in the jaw
with a deadly right hand! Calysto goes right down, and the fans boo loudly as
Troha exits, “Arcarsenal” blaring over the speakers.
Hosemann: All that did,
