PALAIS OMNISPORTS DE PARIS-BERCY

PARIS, FRANCE

 

SEGMENT 1:  INTRODUCTION:

A video package airs, highlighting events that took place last week on Frequency, with Greg Tantalus winning a 20-man invitational battle royal to gain the sixth and final spot in the six man tournament for a PWA title shot against Hollywood Mike Griffin on June 11 at Symphony of Destruction.  The opening credits then roll as Linkin Park's "By_Myslf" hits and we are sent inside Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy in Paris, France, 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 in Paris, France for what should be an amazing show!

Ferrara:  It sure should, Troy!  We have some huge matches here tonight, including the start of the six-man tournament to name a new number one contender to the PWA Championship!

Troy:  That’s right!  Tonight, you will see Jason Calysto take on Solomon, and Greg Tantalus take on Scythe in the two first round matches to see who will advance!

Ferrara:  That’s not all we have tonight though, Troy, and we’re gonna get right to it!

Troy:  We sure are!  It’s a huge tag team match right now, as Jaguar teams with the ORA Champion GI Jew to face Romeo and Anthony Failla!  We’re starting things off with a bang!  Let’s get right to ringside!
 

SEGMENT 2:  MATCH 1:  JAGUAR & ORA CHAMPION GI JEW VS. ROMEO & ANTHONY FAILLA:
Referee:  Matt Hansen

 Three D-Bombs crash to the ramp with a series of booms, bringing boos from the crowd as "I Want It" by B.G. begins to play through the arena. Within moments, Romeo makes his entrance and ignores the crowd as he climbs into the ring and removes his overcoat. His music stops and a loud blast of pyro ensues as "Shootouts" by Jadakiss and Styles P takes over. Anthony Failla stalks his way out to another negative reaction, but he looks focused and angry after losing his chance to prticipate in the PWA Title tournament last week on Frequency.

 

Ferrara: After what happened last week, Failla has got to be ready to rip GI Jew to shreds tonight.

 

Troy: Easier said than done, but it was GI Jew who Gored Failla, allowing Greg Tantalus to hit The Big O and win the battle royal last week. Because of that, Tantalus has a shot to compete for The PWA Title and Failla does not.

 

Ferrara: But he does have a rematch clause for an ORA Title match.

 

The former PWA and ORA Champions wait in the ring as Mannie Fresh's "Real Big" hits, sending the arena into a frenzy as Jaguar steps out. He salutes the crowd and poses in front of his fireball set of pyro before removing his ring jacket, shades and hat. He climbs into the ring, but remains in his corner as Slipknot's "Opium of The People" follows. Instead of the normal outburst of cheers, the crowd responds with a mixed reaction for GI Jew as he races down the ramp to the ring.

 

Troy: Not everyone is a big GI Jew fan here tonight.

 

Ferrara: Well the guy did come down here with an American flag hanging on the back of his bike, with another emblem on his jacket. This is France, so we know some of the tension there, not that GI Jew could give a damn.

 

Jew hops off of his bike and rolls into the ring to hold his ORA Title belt high for the crowd and Failla to see. He then hands the belt to Tom Stevens and steps out for Jaguar to start things off against Romeo.

 

The bell sounds, and so do the fisticuffs as the former Hot Boy$ immediately come to blows. Both trade punches until Jaguar blocks a right from Romeo and hits Da Playboi with a counter punch that sends him down. Romeo gets off the canvas and Jaguar gives him an Irish whip before sending him down with a reverse elbow to the face. He covers for one...two...and Romeo powers out.

 

Jaguar gets Romeo up into a front facelock, but Romeo breaks his grip with a knee to the side and floors him with a clothesline. Jaguar gets up, but Romeo kicks him hard in the gut before downing him with a high knee lift. Romeo covers for a two count before tagging Failla in.

 

Failla comes in and rocks Jaguar with a big right hand before whipping him to the ropes. He tries a clothesline, but Jaguar ducks it. Jag hits the ropes and Jew makes a blind tag. Jaguar rolls away from Failla, who takes his eyes off of the incoming GI Jew as he blasts him with a flying tackle! Within no time, Jew is wailing away on Failla's head with gloved right hands!

 

Troy: GI Jew is taking it to Failla!

 

Matt Hansen gets them broken up, much to Jew's dismay. He shoves the official aside and runs back at Failla, who explodes on him with a bone-rattling clothesline! Failla gets to his feet and then uses them on GI Jew, unloading on him with a series of vicious stomps before applying a chokehold. He holds it until Hansen's count of four before tagging Romeo back in.

 

Da Playboi shoots GI Jew to the ropes before planting him with a big powerslam. He covers for a two count and then locks him in a sleeperhold. Jew struggles mightily, but Romeo's massive arms squeeze the air right out of him as he begins to fade away.

 

The crowd's chanting brings GI Jew up to his feet, but he is still slumped over, with Romeo still holding onto the move. Jew turns to his corner and takes big steps towards getting there for a tag. Romeo tries to stop him, but Jew continues to get closer. He is inches away from a tag, but Failla rushes into the ring. Hansen goes to cut him off, but Jew makes the tag!

 

Jaguar runs into the ring and immediately floors Romeo with a clothesline! He looks to continue the offense, but Hansen turns around and demands that he exit the ring because he didn't see the tag!

 

Troy: Aw ref! He didn't see that tag because Failla ran in there!

 

Ferrara: Can't call what you can't see!

 

Jaguar reluctantly exits the ring with the crowd booing the entire time. Romeo gets up and runs at GI Jew, but the champion shocks him with a Gore out of nowhere! Jew begins to crawl over for a cover, but stops once he sees Bryan Conroy rush out, along with Helen Summers and F. Anthony Annetta.

 

Troy: What the hell are they doing here?!

 

Conroy and Annetta hop onto the ring apron to distract GI Jew, but Kerry Cox runs down and yanks both off, smashing their heads against the ring apron in the process! Romeo gets close to his corner and makes a tag to Failla, but by the time he comes in, Jew lunges and makes a tag to Jaguar!

 

The crowd pops huge as Jaguar runs in and dizzies Failla with three hard punches. He runs to the ropes, but Failla levels him with a boot to the face on his return!

 

Ferrara: Just like that, Failla has turned the tides and shut this crowd down!

 

Failla lifts Jaguar off the mat and signals for The Almighty Sacrifice. He hoists Jaguar up into position for the first half of the move, but Jaguar slips out of the gorilla press and falls to his feet behind him. Failla runs at him for a clothesline, but Jaguar ducks it. Failla turns back to chase again, but Jaguar lifts him up as GI Jew runs in to drive him down in a neckbreaker to complete their version of 3D! Jaguar makes a cover for the 1-------2------3!

 

Troy: Yes! Jaguar and GI Jew got the win, and they did it with 3D!

 

Ferrara: They were former tag champs because of that move. Failla is out, and The ORA cannot be too happy about that!

 

"Real Big" plays again as GI Jew grabs his belt. Cox meets up with the victors and all three men exit in celebration as we take our first commercial break.

WINNERS VIA PINFALL AT 13:38:  JAGUAR & GI JEW

 
 -- COMMERCIAL BREAK #1 --


 

 SEGMENT 3:  BACKSTAGE:
Back from commercial, the camera is in the dressing room of International Champion Jackie Baccaro and Vulture, who are conversing.

 

Vulture:  We just gotta make sure you’re prepared.

Baccaro:  Oh don’t you worry about it.  I know Dawkins is entitled to a rematch, and I know he’s exercising that rematch clause next week on Frequency, but believe me, I’ll be ready for him.  This title isn’t going anywhere.

Vulture:  That’s what I like to hear.

Just then, the door opens and Lauren Tantalus enters.

Lauren:  Hey guys.

Vulture:  Hey Lauren.

Baccaro just stares her down and says nothing.

Lauren:  So Mike, you need anything from me this week?

Vulture:  Not really.  We’re just going over some stuff for next week’s match.

Lauren:  Would it be too much to ask for the rest of the night off?

Vulture:  Nah.  Go out, enjoy
Paris.  I’ll see you back here next week.

Lauren:  Thanks.

Lauren exits and Vulture turns back to Baccaro, who has a confused and annoyed look on his face.

Vulture:  What?  What’s the problem?

Baccaro:  Why did you just do that?

Vulture:  Don’t worry about it.  It’s just a little arrangement we have while we’re in
Europe.  It’s nothing to be concerned about.

Baccaro shrugs his shoulders.

Vulture:  C’mon, don’t do that.  Believe me, it’s fine.

Baccaro:  If you say so.

Vulture:  Yeah, I do.  Now let’s get back to this match.

The conversation now shifts back to next week’s International title defense as the camera exits the room and we take a commercial break.



-- COMMERCIAL BREAK #2 --


SEGMENT 4:  BACKSTAGE:

 The camera finds itself in The Legacy locker room, where all the men are talking amongst themselves. The boos of the crowd can be heard, but it doesn’t keep them from conversing.

 

Schenck: It’ll be alright, guys. I’ve got it all worked out. With me in the Symphony of Destruction, our chances of winning go that much higher.

 

Giles: Are you sure you’ll be alright though?

 

Schenck: What’re you talking about?! Just think about it, no one can stop The Legacy when it’s a one on one match! Can you imagine how easy it’ll be when we’re in their as a unit?

 

Griffin: Personally, I think it’s a great idea. When we take our victory in the Symphony of Destruction, I’ll have the night off for Everlasting Epic 4.

 

Schenck: Exactly. Our chances of winning are improved now, and the PWA Championship Belt stays in our camp.

 

Beovich: Well, alright then. You sound pretty sure of yourself.

 

They continue to speak to each other until the locker room door swings open, and the former Tag Team Champions, Paul Epton and John Wolfe stand beyond it. The audience cheers for them, but they continue to possess a look of anger. Beovich and Price stand up, but Schenck holds up his hand.

 

Schenck: What do you guys want?

 

Epton: You have some bloody nerve, asking a question like that.

 

Wolfe: After the way you atrociously stole our belts, we demand that you face us again for the titles!

 

Schenck: (Chuckles) Let me get something straight here. You don’t call the shots around here. The Legacy does. Don’t take it personally, guys. You just happened to have the belts, so we took them. If it was anyone else, they would have gotten the beating that we gave to you.

 

Epton: You didn’t answer-

 

Schenck: No.

 

Epton lunges at him, but Wolfe holds him back. Schenck wears a cocky grin.

 

Schenck: Like I said. We call the shots around here. Quite frankly, I don’t think that you two deserve to hold the belts, much less have a shot at them. Have a good one, gentlemen.

 

The Legacy’s manager slams the door, and the group breaks out into laughter. The crowd’s reaction is the opposite though, as they shower the arena with jeers.

 
SEGMENT 5:  BACKSTAGE:

In another portion of the backstage area, Dana Chapman is seen loosening up for her match later tonight, a fatal fourway elimination match against Liz Rush, Camieko, and Jade for a shot at the Women’s Championship at Symphony of Destruction.  As she stretches out, Speed Demon walks over.

Demon:  Hey Dana.

Dana:  Hey!  How are you?  It’s so good to see you!

Demon:  I’m good, I’m good.  Listen, I just wanted to wish you luck tonight in your match.

Dana:  Aww thanks, I really appreciate that.

Demon:  Knock ‘em dead out there.

Dana:  Thanks, I will.  So… see you after the show?

Demon:  Sure thing.

Dana:  I’d LOVE to go to the
Eiffel Tower.  Would you mind?

Demon:  (smiling) Absolutely not.  I’ll see you later.

Dana:  Great!  See you then!

Speed Demon then exits, smiling more than he’s smiled perhaps ever since joining the PWA, as Dana does the same, continuing to prepare for her match, and we take another break.


-- COMMERCIAL BREAK #3 --



 SEGMENT 6:  JUMBOTRON:
A video plays, set to dark, cryptic music.  Gothic imagery flashes through hazes of crimson red, ending in a focused shot of a gargoyle splitting in half and a blinding light emerging through it.  A message appears on the screen:  “Take heed of the prophecy.  Through the dark night arises a storm, a storm building to cut down all in its path.  Emerging from the crossfire comes an army of the damned to destroy the souls of all that cross.  Repent, while you still have a chance.  Nightfall is upon us.  May God have mercy on your souls.  A crack of lightning is seen in the distance, and the shot zooms in to the steeple of a gothic church and a dark figure standing upon it.  It zooms quickly into the figure’s eye and another graphic appears:  “Bishop Cross Returns.”  The camera then fades to commercial.


-- COMMERCIAL BREAK #4 --


SEGMENT 7:  MATCH 2:  TOURNAMENT MATCH – FIRST ROUND:  THE ICEMAN JASON CALYSTO VS. SOLOMON:
Referee:  Matt Hansen
The first match in the first round is set to begin once two swirls of blue pyro shoot up from the stage, startling the crowd as "Hear Me" by Darkseed begins to play.

Troy: Alright, the first round of the title tournament is about to start, and its starting off with a bang!

Ferrara: Last week, Solomon professed his newfound respect for Jason Calysto after losing to The Iceman at Animosity, but he attacked him and hit him with The Deep Freeze in an obvious setup, along with Walter and Infernus. Something tells me that The Iceman won't play things so cool tonight.

The boos pour in as Walter Gindin leads Solomon to the ring, but The Alaskan Monster carries a look of focus and intensity, ready for his chance to reclaim the championship he lost on the first day of the year. The music stops and Solomon waits in the ring as "F*ckin In The Bushes" by Oasis begins to play. The crowd cheers wildly, but the reaction grows even louder once Jason Calysto speeds down the ramp and into the ring!

Troy: He's going right after Solomon here!

Calysto grabs Solomon around both of his shins, felling the big man like a
California redwood. With Solomon down, Calysto mounts him to begins landing repeated punches to his cranium. Solomon uses his power to roll over and reverse their positions, but the man regarded as one of the best technicians of all-time quickly uses Solomon's positioning against him by locking him in The Crossface!

Troy: He's got The Crossface on already!

Ferrara: That move beat Solomon at Animosity, could this be over already?!


Solomon struggles in the move and eventually slaps his palm against the canvas, but instead of tapping out, he uses his arm to push himself up. Calysto stays in the hold like a pitbull with its jaw locked on its prey, but Solomon manages to stand up and break the move by tossing his opponent back-first against the turnbuckles. Calysto runs out of the corner, but right into a huge sidewalk slam by Solomon! Solomon covers for one...two...and Calysto kicks out.

Solomon takes some time to regain his bearings and then goes on the offensive, punishing Calysto with stomps and clubbing blows to the back. He grabs The Iceman by the head before scoop slamming him down to the canvas and following up with an elbow right to the sternum. Another cover gets a count of two, and the crowd begins to try to get Calysto back into the match.

Troy: This crowd is starting to get behind The Iceman.

Ferrara: And Solomon is beginning to pick up the pace even more now.

Solomon gets Calysto up and rocks him with a big right hand to the face, but he doesn't go down. Solomon attempts another, but Calysto blocks it and nails one of his own. Solomon shakes it off, but Calysto follows up with two more before running to the ropes. Solomon swipes at him for a clothesline, but Calysto ducks under and floors him with a flying clothesline on his return!

Solomon gets up to a knee, but Calysto hits the ropes and nails him in the head with a mafia kick that sends him out of the ring to the arena floor! Gindin tries to help his client up, but Calysto uses the ropes again to attempt a suicide dive. Gindin yanks Solomon out of the way, but Calysto fakes the dive and connects with The Alaskan Monster by hitting a plancha instead!

Troy: Calysto is flying high right now!

Ferrara: Solomon is getting hit from every possible angle!

Calysto runs Gindin off to the side before rolling Solomon back into the ring. Calysto climbs to the top rope, looking for The Bottom Line, but Gindin waves Infernus down the ramp! Infernus runs around to try and knock Calysto off, but The Iceman hits first by diving right on top of him!

Ferrara: Calysto has gone nuts here!

Calysto pounds away on Infernus until Gindin reacts by grabbing a chair and whacking it against his back! Calysto pops right up and chases Gindin into the ring. The superagent escapes, but Solomon picks up the chair and swings it at Calysto, who ducks it, hits the ropes and connects with a spinning heel kick on the chair that sends Solomon reeling back out of the ring as Jose Soares calls for the bell!

Troy: I think the ref has thrown this match out, but this one is still far from over!

Ferrara: What does that mean though?

Lee Palmer gets on the mic and informs the crowd that both men have been disqualified, but that doesn't seem to bother The Iceman, who picks up the chair and chases all three men behind the curtain before we take a commercial break.

Ferrara: There was no winner in this match, that means that neither one of them will advance!

Troy: Jaguar is gonna have a bye right into the final round now, but I don't think Calysto or Solomon care. They're still going at it!
WINNER AT 14:02:  NO CONTEST
