LONDON ARENA

LONDON, ENGLAND

SEGMENT 1: INTRODUCTION:

A video package airs, highlighting events that took place Saturday night at Animosity, with GI Jew overcoming tremendous adversity to defeat Anthony Failla for the ORA Championship, and Hollywood Mike Griffin joining forces with Justin Schenck to steal the triple threat match and the PWA Championship. The opening credits then roll as Linkin Park's "By_Myslf" hits and we are sent inside the London Arena in London, England, where an amazing fireworks display ensues and we are sent to our commentators, Victor Troy and Paul Ferrara.

Troy: Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to PWA Frequency! I’m Victor Troy, along here with Paul Ferrara, and we are here in jolly old England for an action-packed, two-hour thrill ride!

Ferrara: This really should be something else, Troy! I can’t believe all that we saw at Animosity! Two new world champions! Mike Griffin and Justin Schenck are now partners in crime! Steve Beovich has joined the Legacy! Dexter Wellington’s undefeated streak is no more! Jason Calysto handed Solomon the second loss of his career! So much went down, such a great show!

Troy: And tonight promises to be a great show as well! We have heard that Kerry Cox has an announcement to make and, given the events that have taken place at Animosity, I wouldn’t be surprised to…

SEGMENT 2: RINGSIDE:

Victor Troy is cut off as Tool's "Parabola" hits, bringing the crowd to boo raucously as the focus shifts up to the arena entrance. Within moments, Justin Schenck walks through, followed by The Omega Steve Beovich, Greg Price, Darrin Giles, Jonathan Brett, and finally, Hollywood Mike Griffin. Griffin is decked out in a clean black Italian suit with dark shades on, but most importantly, he is carrying the PWA Championship belt over his shoulder. The Legacy stands behind Schenck and the new champion, who takes the belt down and holds it up with one arm, signaling the beginning of five incredible blasts of red, white and blue fireworks to erupt from the stage.

Troy: To all of those who might have missed Animosity, your eyes are not deceiving you as you watch this broadcast. That is Hollywood Mike Griffin, who used help from Justin Schenck to win the PWA Championship and bring it into The Legacy, which he is now a member of. 

Ferrara: Justin Schenck literally threw a monkey wrench into the plans of both Jaguar and Romeo at Animosity. When it appeared that Romeo was about to win, Jonathan Brett jumped into action to take him out of the match and the ring. When Jaguar was about to win, Schenck hit him with a monkey wrench and carried out his promise that The Legacy would leaves as winners, even though Darrin Giles failed to regain The Progressive Championship and Superstar Scott Hosemann was injured during his matchup with Briggs.

Troy: Hosemann is out due to severe back spasms, but this crowd is about to spasm at the sickening sight we are seeing here!

The group makes their way to the ring, where Schenck holds the ropes open for his newest acquisition. Griffin climbs in and everyone follows him as Schenck quickly fetches a microphone and quiets the crowd.

Schenck: A few months ago, when The Legacy was going through a rough spot and not winning many matches, I told these guys something. I said "Gentlemen, it is not how you start, it is how you finish". Well look at how we finished. (Crowd boos) I told you all that The Legacy would leave Animosity as winners, and look at what happened! Not only did we acquire three new men, all former champions, in the same night. We now have the greatest wrestler in the world at the forefront! I have long said that The Legacy would be the future of this business. Consider the future to be the present. Talk to 'em champ!

The boos continue to pour in as Griffin takes over the microphone.

Griffin: As I'm looking around this arena tonight, I see a few different things. I see toothless mouths, unbathed bodies, and scores of shamelessly drunken morons, even though this show has just begun. But another thing I see are your signs. Look at all these signs saying "Why Griffin, why?" If you want to know why, I've got no problem in telling you. You know what makes this business run? No, its not you losers. This industry is powered by money. While my bank account is already large enough to give some of you wenches some hope for the future, I was presented with an opportunity to cash in on what I have already deserved. When you are on top of the world, you are paid accordingly for it. So when Justin Schenck came to me and told me he was interested in seeing money make more money as a unit, there was no way to turn him down. If you check our PWA store online, there is no Hollywood Mike Griffin gear. There is no Legacy gear. That means we don't get any royalty checks because you losers wouldn't buy our stuff. Not that we need the money, because we certainly do not, but we decided to really stick it to all of you by taking your money anyway, but with the use of this belt. (Crowd boos)

Troy: Is he serious?!

Ferrara: Actually, he's right Troy. You get some extra zeros in your account when you have that title.

Griffin: I'm not saying that I only wanted to win the title because of the money it would bring in, but I have been the best wrestler in the world for way too long, and it was about time that the title came back to the man who deserved it. And it was also time for the hardest working business man, one of the best minds in this industry, Justin Schenck, to also be rewarded. So we brought everything together, and officially have become the most powerful group in The PWA!

Before Griffin can say another word, a blast of pyro erupts from the stage and "Real Big" by Mannie Fresh begins to play. The crowd bursts into rabid cheers as Jaguar steps out through the curtain. Wearing his ring gear, Jaguar walks down the ramp and into the lion's den, grabbing a microphone as The Legacy looks on.

Griffin: Back off guys, he's not stupid enough to try anything right now. Jaguar, I'm glad you're here. Before our match at Animosity, you made a comment in which you claimed that you knew how to beat me and how you weren't Greg Tantalus. Well since I pinned you at Animosity AND a few weeks ago on Frequency, I think that puts you in the same category as that loser. So what do you have to say now?

Jaguar: I have six words to start with, and they are: Shut the hell up, you prick! (Crowd cheers) You talk all that trash about how you are the best wrestler in the world, but we all saw you outwrestled at Animosity. I had you beat with The Suga Splash in the middle of the ring, but you decided to exercise your little backup plan when Justin ran through the crowd and hit me in the head with a monkey wrench. I had to get twelve staples in my head to close that and you can bet your ass that you are going to pay for it one day, you sniveling little son of a bitch! (Crowd cheers)

Troy: Jaguar is irate!

Jaguar: Now Mike, you and I have been through this before. You have screwed me out of title wins before, and this was no different. I'm out here in my gear right now because I'm ready to wrestle tonight and I wanna see you take off your little suit, get your gear on, and fight me in rematch, right here in London!

The crowd cheers until three D-Bombs rocket down to the ramp and explode loudly. "I Want It" by B.G. hits and the cheers turn to boos as Romeo power walks down the ramp and into the ring. He grabs a microphone and gets right in Griffin's face as security runs down to prevent a skirmish.

Romeo: You guys back the hell up and stay there before you really have a problem on your hands. Mike Griffin, you stole my title!

Griffin: I didn't steal--

Romeo: Shut your face! You had this guy run in, hit Jag and cost me my belt without even being pinned. You did not beat me for that title, so I'm about to beat you all over this ring until I get it back! Don't even change out of your suit, because I'm about to beat every ass in this ring until I get my belt back!

Romeo tosses the mic down and security swarms into the ring as KISS' "War Machine" blasts over the speakers. Commissioner Kerry Cox wastes no time in coming out onto the ramp with his own microphone.

Cox: Security! Keep them apart! Guys! Guys, listen to me here! Now Romeo, Jaguar, I understand your gripes. Its a shame that the match at Animosity ended the way it did, but as it stands right now, Matt Hansen's decision is final and Mike Griffin is The PWA Champion. But what I do have is a bit of a solution. Romeo, your contract did not have a rematch clause in it for The Triple Threat match, but I understand that you definitely deserve a chance to regain the gold. At the same time, Jaguar deserves a shot, as do a few other people. So my solution is this. Beginning next week, we will begin a tournament between six men. These six men will compete for a shot at The PWA Championship on June 11th at The Symphony of Destruction.

Troy: A six man tournament?

Ferrara: This should be good.

Cox: Two of the participants have already been selected and those two are Romeo and Jaguar. Due to the controversial nature of Mike Griffin's victory, both of you men will recieve automatic byes into the second round. Next week's Frequency will feature two main event matches. One will be a rematch from Animosity, where Jason Calysto and Solomon will wrestle in a first round match that will see the winner face Jaguar. The other main event will pit Scythe against the winner of a 20-man invitational battle royal, which will be held right here tonight in London! But this is not just any battle royal. When the final two participants are in the ring, it will become a regular match, and the winner will go on to face Scythe. The winner of that match will then face Romeo. The semifinals and finals will both be held on the same night, May 24th on Frequency. The man who wins the final match on that show will be named the number one contender to the championship and will face Mike Griffin at SBC Park for the title. Have a good night, gentlemen.

Troy: That's huge news! A six man tournament that will feature Romeo, Jaguar, Scythe, Jason Calysto, Solomon and whomever wins tonight's battle royal!

Ferrara: That’s huge!

"War Machine" plays again as Cox begins to exit and security tries to clear up the ring.

SEGMENT 3: BACKSTAGE:

We return from the break in a hallway backstage, where The Legacy follows Hollywood Mike Griffin and Justin Schenck as they converse.

Schenck: Are you sure you're cool with that Mike?

Griffin: Of course. Why sweat it? Kerry Cox think he's painted us into a corner, but he hasn't at all. Instead of defending against both guys in another triple threat, now they must fight it out for a crack at me. And one-on-one, there is nobody that I can't beat.

Schenck: Haha, man you are a genius! I'm telling ya, you have got to be the greatest....

Schenck's words trail off as the entire group stops in front of the man walking towards them in the hall - Briggs.

Briggs: Don't even say anything. You guys saw what I did to Hosemann at Animosity, and each and every single one of you can expect similar results. But as for tonight, I will win the battle royal, win the tournament, and then go on to face you at Symphony of Destruction to take away the most important thing you have besides your miserable little asses, The PWA Championship. I'll see you around, just give me about six weeks.

Briggs walks right through The Legacy and doesn't turn back, leaving concerned looks on the faces of the champion and Schenck.

SEGMENT 4: BACKSTAGE:
The camera shifts to another section of the backstage area, where Vulture is conversing with Lauren Tantalus.

Lauren: So, did you decide how you’re going to play this trip yet?

Vulture: Yeah, I thought about it, and you’re right. Listen, we’re only gonna be in Europe for a few weeks, so I’m willing to work with you a little bit. I’ll only use you when I need you over this tour, so that you can have a little bit of fun while you’re here. I’m not all bad. But this doesn’t change anything, realize that. The story remains the same when we get back to the United States.

Lauren: Understood.

Vulture: Good.

Lauren: So what do you want from me tonight?

Vulture: Well, Jackie is wrestling Dean Nash in a non-title match next, and then has that invitation battle royal later tonight, so we have some work to do. I really don’t think there’s any reason to keep you around tonight.

Lauren: You sure?

Vulture: Yeah. Take the night off.

Lauren: Great. Thanks so much.

Vulture: Don’t mention it. I’ll see you back next week in Paris.

Lauren: Sounds like a plan.

Lauren Tantalus then walks out of the dressing room moments before International Champion Jackie Baccaro walks in, a perplexed look on his face.

Vulture: You ready to roll?

Baccaro: Where the hell is she going?

Vulture: I gave her the night off.

Baccaro: You did what?

Vulture: Don’t worry about it, it doesn’t concern you. Just be concerned with your match with Nash so you can get that over with and we can come back here and talk battle royal strategy. Let’s go.

Vulture then exits the dressing room, and Baccaro follows, a very confused and concerned look on his face, as we take a commercial break.

-- COMMERCIAL BREAK #2 --

SEGMENT 5: MATCH 1: NON-TITLE MATCH: PWA INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION JACKIE BACCARO VS. DYNAMITE DEAN NASH:
Referee: Jason Church

The ring action is set to kick off once The Prodigy's "Spitfire" takes to the sound system. The crowd cheers loudly as an energetic Dynamite Dean Nash jogs down the long ramp and slides into the ring.

Troy: This is a big match for Dean Nash here. Even though it is not for The International Championship, a win here can catapult him right into the thick of title contention.

Ferrara: But that won't be easy. Jackie Baccaro has been on a gigantic roll ever since claiming the title back at Requiem. He beat James Biamonte at Animosity as well, so a win will be pretty difficult for Mr. Nash.

The former Progressive Champion bounces off the ropes as "Things Done Changed" by The Notorious B.I.G. begins to play. A loud series of boos begins, but that can't wipe away the smiles from the faces of Vulture and Jackie Baccaro as they pose in front of the familiar streaming gold fireworks.

Troy: Of course, Lauren Tantalus is not around, as Vulture has just given her the night off.

Ferrara: I’m not sure what the deal is there, Troy, but maybe Vulture does have a soft spot for the girl deep down.

Troy: Oh please. One humane move by Vulture does not make him any more of a human being in my eyes.

Ferrara: Ouch. That was harsh.

The pyro stops and Baccaro walks down the ramp before giving his belt to Vulture and sliding into the ring. Nash pounces right on him, clubbing him in the back repeatedly. Baccaro still gets to his feet and Nash tries an irish whip, but the champion reverses it and nearly breaks Nash in half with a thunderous clothesline!

Baccaro gets Nash off the mat and into position for a gorilla press. He presses Nash up and down three times before tossing him down hard onto the canvas. Nash gets to his feet slowly and Baccaro measures him up perfectly before hitting the ropes and then hitting his face with a huge running forearm smash!

Troy: What a shot by Baccaro!

Ferrara: I'd think that Nash would be out on his feet, but he's not on his feet at all after that shot.

Baccaro then looks out to the crowd, who boos him as he signals for The Baccaro Bomb. Baccaro lifts Nash up into position before turning him in mid-air and driving him down with tremendous impact! Baccaro covers for an academic count of three.

"Things Done Changed" replays as Vulture hands Baccaro his belt. Baccaro wipes the little sweat that he broke onto the fallen Nash before climbing out of the ring and making his exit.

Troy: Jackie made short work of Dean Nash here tonight.

Ferrara: That was a dominating performance by a dominating International Champion. It’s gonna take something big to break this guy's momentum right now.

WINNER VIA PINFALL AT 2:21: JACKIE BACCARO

SEGMENT 6: RINGSIDE:
"Stockholm Syndrome" by Muse, and an ecstatic crowd cheers for the hometown heroes! The Tag Team Champions are electrified by their welcome, and they look out into the crowd for several moments before finally walking down the ramp at a gingerly pace. Their excitement can’t be hidden, as shown by the grand smiles on their faces. Paul Epton and John Wolfe step into the ring and raise their arms into the air, causing a wave of cheers to rain down on them!

Troy: Listen to this reaction for the Tag Team Champions!

Ferrara: After winning that Triple Threat Tag Team Match on Saturday, these two definitely deserve the reception that they’re receiving!

After indulging in their adulation, Epton walks over to the side to grab a microphone. He tries to speak as the music fades, but the cheering only gets louder.

Epton: I must say, John Wolfe and I are indeed proud to be standing here as the Tag Team Champions, among our people of London! (Crowd cheers wildly) We have been waiting for our chance to come back, and what better way to return home than as the great Tag Team in the PWA!

Epton hands the mic over to Wolfe, as the crowd continues its wild praise. 

Wolfe: I couldn’t have said it any better than my partner here. We joined the PWA, and we rose to the top! This is quite possibly the greatest- 

The champions are suddenly cut off when “Control” by Earshot suddenly plays, and out walks Justin Schenck to a chorus of boos. Following behind him are Steve Beovich and Greg Price, who hold their noses high in the air. Schenck almost seems disgusted by the crowd, but the audience replies in kind. The trio steps into the ring, and the Tag Team Champions look on with furrowed brows. Schenck shakes his head and grabs a mic from the side. 

Schenck: Listen to this crowd, guys. They really don’t have respect for the greatness that stands in this ring. They cheer for two chumps who happened to get a bit of luck, but they don’t give the praise that the new Naturals deserve! (Crowd boos) Do hear that?! Greg Price and the Omega Steve Beovich are a fantastic team, much better than these two will ever be! 

Wolfe: You’re a fool if you really believe that. 

Schenck: How about we make you believe it? You, everyone in this arena, and everyone in the world! Put your belts up on the line right now against us, and we’ll show you that your wins were just beginners luck!

Wolfe and Epton look over at each other, but the crowd urges them to make the right decision. 

Wolfe: It would be an honor to defend these belts. All of London will be witness to your defeat!

 The audience cheers loudly at this announcement. The two teams stare off at each other, neither side moving an inch.

Troy: Did you hear that?! The Tag Team Champs are putting up the titles against the new Naturals!

 Ferrara: And by the looks of it, it’s going to get started right now!

 Troy: They still need to set up a little bit, so we’re going to take a quick commercial break!


-- COMMERCIAL BREAK #4 --


SEGMENT 7: MATCH 2: PWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: PAUL EPTON & JOHN WOLFE © VS. THE NATURALS:
Referee: Matt Hansen
We return from the commercials to find Wolfe in the ring with Price. Wolfe launches Price into the ropes, then steamrolls him with a violent shoulder block to the delight of the crowd!

Troy: Welcome back, folks. We’re already in the middle of the match that started just moments ago, when the Naturals challenged the Tag Team Champions for the belts.

Ferrara: And what you’re seeing now is pretty much the flow of what went on during the commercial break. Wolfe has been a dominant force in this match. Epton got the ball rolling, but after he tagged out to Wolfe, this match picked up a lot of speed.

Wolfe goes for a pin cover, but Price kicks out shortly after the count of two. Wolfe is undaunted though, and peels Price off the mat. The Tag Team Champion goes to lift Price up high, but the challenger rakes Wolfe across the eyes to escape from his grasp! Wolfe drops Price and roars as he clutches his face, and Price quickly scrambles to his corner to tag in Beovich, who steps into the ring just as Wolfe begins to recover. Wolfe comes charging at Beovich, but the Omega side steps it and takes him down with a drop toe hold that causes Wolfe’s head to collide with the turnbuckle!

Ferrara: And just like that, the Naturals turn this one around!

Troy: Wolfe might be out cold from that!

Wolfe slumps into the corner, but he doesn’t remain there for long as Beovich tears him away from him. With Schenck’s instructions, the Omega throws Wolfe into the corner, back first. Schenck leaps onto the apron on the opposite side and attracts the attention of the referee, giving Price the opportunity to hold back Wolfe’s arms as Beovich pounds away at him. The crowd boos vehemently, and Epton becomes outraged on the other side.

Troy: Turn around, ref! This is injustice!

Ferrara: As long as the ref doesn’t see it, it’s fair game!

The referee scolds Schenck, as does the rest of the London audience. On the other side, Wolfe finds the strength to break out of Price’s grasp and wrap a hand around Beovich’s throat! He begins to drag Beovich to the center of the ring as Price drops off the apron, grabbing a belt away from the time keeper.

Troy: Wolfe has Beovich right where he wants him!

Ferrara: But I think Price has Wolfe in that same exact spot!

Price slides into the ring with the belt, but Epton won’t have any of it! He stampedes into the ring and darts at Price, but the Natural presses his face in with the gold! Epton falls to the mat in a heap, and Wolfe turns around to see what the commotion is, but he too is met with the same fate! Boos rain down as Price exits with the belt, and Beovich smirks. He cockily places a boot on Wolfe’s chest as Schenck drops from the apron, and the referee turns around, unaware of the recent events. Nonetheless, he makes the count. One. Two. Yes, three. “Control” plays over the speakers, and the jeering comes in full force.

Ferrara: The Naturals picked up the win!

Troy: Schenck’s interfering just cost Epton and Wolfe the titles! Someone needs to take care of that guy!

Ferrara: These guys came home with the belt, but they managed to lose it in front of them! Now THAT’S injustice!

Troy: Was that supposed to be funny?!

The referee hands the belts over to Beovich and Price, as Schenck steps into the ring with them to raise their arms in victory. Epton and Wolfe are sprawled out on the mat, unable to move. The angered crowd begins to throw cups and other such trash into the ring at the new Naturals, who are now the Tag Team Champions.
WINNERS VIA PINFALL AT 9:13 AND NEW TAG TEAM CHAMPIONS: THE NATURALS
