SEGMENT 8: MATCH 4: PWA TAG TEAM CHAMPION JOHN WOLFE VS. REAPER VS. VLADIMIR VYDRINA:
Referee: Jason Church

The crowd begins to roar with boos as “A Violent Reaction” by American Head Charge hits, and Reaper makes his appearance from behind the curtain. He stomps down the aisle with a stone face before climbing into the ring, prepared to meet his challenge for the night. With the audience still cheering, "Exorcism" by Theatres des Vampires plays, and Vladimir Vydrina hits the scene with Natasha and “Not That” Rodney King. The “Angel of Death” trudges down the ramp, and as Natasha and King take their place at the side, Vydrina steps inside the squared circle with Reaper. The two stare a hole through each other, and do not even flinch when "Stockholm Syndrome" by Muse plays, causing the crowd to explode into cheers. John Wolfe, one half of the Tag Team Champions, arrives to a large ovation. With the belt around his waist, Wolfe walks down to the ring, staring down his competition, which waits eagerly in the ring.

Troy: This is a continuation from last weeks Frequency, where the other half of these Tag Teams faced off in a Triple Threat of their own, with Speed Demon coming out on top. Now we’ve got a battle of the big men, and it’s sure to be one hell of a brawl.

Ferrara: You said it, Troy. Who knows what’s going to happen with these three men in the ring at the same time? For that matter, can you possibly imagine the chaos that will erupt at Animosity, when these three teams compete in a Tag Team Triple Threat match?

After Wolfe hands his belt to the referee, the bell sounds and the action immediately gets underway, with Vydrina going right after Reaper! The two brawl with each other, but the both of them are plowed over when Wolfe clotheslines them! Wolfe brings Reaper back to his feet and blasts him in the face twice before whipping him into the ropes and connecting with a hard shoulder block on his return!

Troy: This must be payback for when the Lost Souls attacked these two teams a few weeks ago on Frequency.

Ferrara: This is unfair!

Troy: All’s fair in a Triple Threat, Paul!

With Reaper on the mat, Wolfe stands tall above him. He turns around, but the “Angel of Death” turns him inside out with a clothesline! Natasha claps lightly while King shouts his orders, and Vydrina scoops up Wolfe. In one swift maneuver, Vydrina eradicates Wolfe with a devastating powerslam! Vydrina makes the cover... One. Two. Reaper gets back up, but he doesn’t make it in time. Three.

Troy: That must have been a record! Vydrina easily picked up the win!

Ferrara: Not only that, but both Tag Team Champions have been pinned in consecutive weeks!

Troy: You’re absolutely right, Paul. They’re the underdogs going into Animosity, and I haven’t the slightest clue as to how they’re going to have the spirit heading into their Tag Team Triple Threat match.

“Exorcism” plays once more as Vydrina leaves the ring with Natasha and King. They head back up the ramp as Vydrina is announced the winner, and Reaper looks on in fury from the ring, while Wolfe appears to be down and out.

WINNER VIA PINFALL AT 4:12: VLADIMIR VYDRINA

SEGMENT 9: BACKSTAGE:

We head backstage, following Liz Rush as she walks down the halls. She abruptly stops though when she sees Keiko Ishida. The Women’s Champion locks eyes with Rush.

Ishida: You lucky.

Rush: What?

Ishida: Last week, you lucky. You face me and you survive.

Rush: Oh, I did more than survive. I took the match right to you! If it was just you and me, I’m sure that I could have pinned you too.

Ishida: Your luck run out soon. If you face me again, you find that out.

The Women’s Champion brushes by Rush, who glances back with a look of discontent. She shakes her head and mutters beneath her breath.

Rush: Luck has nothing to do with it.

SEGMENT 10: BACKSTAGE:
The camera shifts to another portion of the backstage area, where Lauren Tantalus is sitting on a couch, reading over some papers. As she reads, the door opens and Vulture enters. Lauren doesn’t notice him enter at first, but eventually does.

Vulture: Hey.

Lauren: Hey. What?

Vulture: Nothing. Just came to grab something, Jackie’s heading out there next. What are you reading there?

Lauren: Oh nothing. Just the travel itinerary. We’re gonna be in Europe for almost a month after Animosity you know.

Vulture: Oh yeah. We had a blast on last year’s tour, didn’t we?

Lauren: We really did.

Vulture: Oh well. That was in the past. Something tells me you won’t have nearly as much fun this year.

Lauren: Mike, can’t we be mature for a minute? Can we stop being petty?

Vulture: I don’t really know what you mean by petty, Lauren. You deserve every bit of what I’m giving you.

Lauren: Maybe I do. But please. After Animosity, we’re gonna be touring all over Europe. You know how I feel about Europe. Especially London. I can’t wait for next week. I know it might be asking a lot, but you can’t you let me get through this European tour without making it miserable for me? Can you let me enjoy myself a little bit? I’m sure you guys have plenty to do anyway.

Vulture: Well, neither of us screwed over a person we were in a relationship with, so we’re entitled to it.

Lauren: God Mike, can’t you just grow up? Please? Listen, I’m really sorry for what I did to you. I truly am. If I could take it back, I would. But I can’t. And honestly, I don’t have any hard feelings towards you for what you’re doing now. I really would just like to be your friend and move past all this.

Vulture: Well Lauren, I hate to say it, but I’m not offering you my friendship. You blew that.

Lauren: And if that’s how it has to be, then I accept that. All I’m asking is that if you still have some compassion in you, just please don’t ruin this European tour for me. I’ll fill my duties as your personal chef for all the shows, but outside of that, you leave me be and let me enjoy this experience. Please.

Vulture: (after a pause) I’ll think about it. But listen, I’ve gotta head out to the ring, Jackie needs me. We’ll talk later or something.

Lauren: Ok.

Vulture then turns to leave.

Lauren: Mike…

Vulture: What?

Lauren: Thanks.

Vulture: For what?

Lauren: For trying.

Vulture: (pause) You’re welcome.

Vulture then leaves the room and heads towards the ring as we take another commercial break.

SEGMENT 11: MATCH 5: ORA WORLD CHAMPION ANTHONY FAILLA & PWA INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION JACKIE BACCARO VS. GI JEW & JAMES BIAMONTE:
Referee: Matt Hansen

Jackie Baccaro's video package rolls on the Jumbotron, and the boos pour in once The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Things Done Changed" hits the speakers for the arrival of The International Champion. Vulture comes out with him, but the boos rain down the same way his gold fireworks do as they pose atop the stage. Baccaro rubs the belt around his waist and climbs into the ring to show it off to everyone as he stands on the turnbuckles. A large boom of pyro explodes next as "Shootouts" by Jadakiss and Styles P takes over. The jeers remain constant for Anthony Failla, who carries his usual menacing look to the ring, along with The ORA Championship over his shoulder.

Troy: This is a powerhouse team, they have to be the favorites in this one.

Ferrara: Considering who they are facing, yes, I'd say so. Our newer fans might not know this, but GI Jew and James Biamonte had a long feud a few years ago over the CAW Intercontinental Belt. They aren't the most stable guys in the business, and I'm not too sure that they can put whatever differences they had aside for this match.

Troy: As badly as they want the two belts their opponents have, I think they can.

Failla shakes hands with Baccaro and Vulture as "Still Ballin" by 2Pac and Trick Daddy begins to play. The boos turn to cheers as James Biamonte walks through the curtain and towards the ring, but he waits outside the squared circle for his partner, who makes his entrance as Slipknot's "Opium Of The People" hits. GI Jew rides out on a wave of cheers and wastes no time in climbing up into the ring.

Troy: Why do I get the feeling that this one won't have much order for very long?

Ferrara: Because you see Baccaro, Failla, Biamonte and GI Jew in the ring. It’s no wonder to me why Dee didn't come out here. We might have to keep our heads on a swivel.

The bell sounds, leaving Jew and Baccaro to start things off. They circle the ring and Jew immediately connects with a kick to the midsection. He staggers Baccaro with a right hand, but Baccaro comes back and knees him in the gut before downing him with a clothesline. Baccaro picks him up and delivers a big chop to the chest before an Irish whip, but Jew reverses it and buries a knee deep into Baccaro's gut on his return! Jew covers for 1...and a kickout.

GI Jew tags Biamonte, who comes in for Baccaro, but finds Failla as he makes a tag. Failla muscles Biamonte back into a corner, but the speedster avoids a Failla fist to dizzy him with a dropkick. Failla is backed into a corner and Biamonte throws three shoulders into his midsection before whipping him to the ropes and taking him down with a clothesline. Biamonte covers for one....two...and he's launched off by Failla! Biamonte looks ready to go back on the attack, but its on Baccaro as he grabs him by the head and brings him into the ring!

Biamonte mounts Baccaro and begins to go to work on his forehead with right hands. Failla tries to stop him, but he is floored with a running tackle by GI Jew! Matt Hansen stands in the middle of the ring, not knowing which skirmish to break up.

Ferrara: Did we call it, or did we call it?

Troy: We didn't call all of it, Vulture is grabbing a chair!

Vulture tosses the timekeeper aside and grabs his chair before moving Lee Palmer aside and taking his chair as well. He slides one into the ring before getting in himself and cracking GI Jew with it across the spine! Jew falls to the canvas, but shakes it off quickly and locks eyes with Vulture! Vulture turns to head for the hills, but Jew turns around to find the other chair upside his head, courtesy of Failla!

Troy: My God, what a chair shot!

Failla: He nearly took his head off!

Biamonte hears the crack and runs over to Failla, but he gets the chair to his ribs and then across his back, sending him down to the mat as well. Baccaro grabs Vulture's chair and takes over on Biamonte, whacking him over and over across the back as Hansen yells for the bell.

The bell rings, but the beatings continue as Vulture climbs back in the ring and puts the boots to both men. GI Jew is bloodied and Biamonte is rendered unconscious from the assault, which only ends once a team of officials and security run down to the ring. Baccaro and Failla hold their chairs high before tossing them out of the ring and making their exit with their belts.

Troy: Absolutely disgusting! I hope both of these guys lose those titles this Saturday; they sure deserve to!

WINNERS VIA DISQUALIFICATION AT 14:32: GI JEW & JAMES BIAMONTE

SEGMENT 12: RINGSIDE:
Three D-Bombs drop and explode on the ramp as B.G.'s "I Want It" takes over the PA system. The boos reach a fever pitch once Romeo comes out, wearing dark jeans, his new Playboi t-shirt and most importantly, The PWA Heavyweight Championship of The World.

Troy: Alright, Romeo has asked for a special time block to speak, so this is it.

Ferrara: I'm interested in what the champ has to say.

Romeo climbs into the ring and holds his title high before grabbing a microphone. The music dies down, but the boos continue to flow as he begins to speak.

Romeo: Alright, alright, calm it down. I asked for this time because lately, nobody has bothered to want to hear what I've had to say. We've got Jaguar cutting interviews and Mike Griffin talkin trash in front of pyramids, but when I look at this piece of gold, it says that I'm the man around here, not either of them! With Jag, the story never changes. We all know what happened, and this time, it won't be a surprise when you lose to me again. As for you Mike Griffin, you're a --

Romeo is cut off once Tool's "Parabola" hits and Hollywood Mike Griffin appears. The former PWA Champion walks down to the ring and asks for a microphone, which he uses to speak to the current champion.

Griffin: Romeo, Romeo, I don't know why you take such offense to me. Were the things that I said offensive to you? Did they get under your skin? I hope not, because they were true. The only reason you still have that belt is because I have let you. The same way I have let everyone else around here share the duties. I am the best wrestler in the world and I will prove it when I beat not one, but two Hot Boy$ in the same match.

Romeo: You couldn't beat us as a team, and you sure as hell can't do it alone. You've talked a lot of trash lately Griffin, and it will be my great pleasure to take all of those words and shove them down your throat before sending you back to Hollywood to make another straight-to-videotape B-list movie.

Griffin: My movies are never straight-to-video! I am as good as they come!

They argue until a loud blast of pyro precedes "Real Big" by Mannie Fresh hitting and the crowd going crazy once Jaguar appears. The 4-time PWA Champion marches to the ring and takes his own microphone before climbing inside and getting in between them.

Jaguar: Alright, last week, you pinned me because you got help from Romeo. Rome, you once again chose to find your way into one of my matches. So I know we will meet for the title this Saturday, but that's in four days, and this right now. Consider the time for talking to be over.

Jaguar drops the microphone and immediately floors Romeo with a sucker punch! Griffin goes after him, but Jaguar takes him down with a low tackle! Romeo gets back up and goes after Jaguar, and before long, all three men are brawling on the mat!

Troy: It’s one brawl after another tonight!

Ferrara: Nobody can wait till Animosity!

Troy: And neither can I! We're out of time everybody, see you in Indy!
