SEGMENT
8: BACKSTAGE:
A camera is set in the locker room of The Legacy,
where the six men are conversing when their door opens. Everything stops when
they look up and see that the man responsible for it is Smooth Greg Tantalus.
Schenck: Can we help
you?
Tantalus: Don't speak
another word to me or I'll kick your nuts into your stomach. I'm here for you
Mike. Get up. (Long Pause) Get your ass up!
Tantalus: I'll tell you
what makes it different Mike. I'm different now. Last week, I came back and won
that battle royal. Tonight, I'll win against Scythe, then I'll win against
Romeo and then I'll win against Jaguar so I can win against you. I'm back,
refocused and better than ever, and once I win this thing, I'm coming for you
at The Symphony of Destruction. I will take that title from you in
Tantalus turns his back to The Legacy and exits the room, leaving all
men speechless in their reactions to his comments.

9: BACKSTAGE:
The camera settles
upon Renegade, Paul Dawkins, and Liz Rush. The crowd cheers for the trio, who
are walking through the hallways.
Renegade: Man, there is
no stopping us now! The way you took out The Legacy at Animosity was beautiful!
Rush: We’re glad to
have you back, Paul. I really missed you.
Dawkins: Oh, I missed
you too. And Renegade is right, because now that I’m back, we can really do
some damage.
Rush: Speaking of, I
have a match coming up that I have to get ready for.
Dawkins: Want us to
come out with you?
Rush: Thanks, but I got
this one. Just make sure that you’re cheering for me!
Dawkins: You got it.
Rush leaves and Dawkins looks on. Renegade nudges his arm.
Renegade: I haven’t
seen her that happy for a while.
Wellington: Of course you haven’t, you simpleton.
The cocky superstar, Dexter P. Wellington and his butler Winston walk
up to Renegade and Dawkins, who don’t care for his vulgarity.
Renegade: What’s that
supposed to mean?
Winston: Yes, sir.
Dawkins: You lousy son
of a-
Renegade: Sorry, but
let me take this, Paul. I don’t know where you get the nerve to insult us, but
it’s going to stop.
Renegade: I’m going to
do what I came to this company to do. I’m gonna wrestle, and you’re next on my
list.
Winston: Sir?
Winston: You have, sir.
Winston: Not to my
recollection, sir. It was you, in fact, who won.
Renegade: Hah! If
that’s all it’s going to take, then it’ll be pleasure to take you down.
Renegade: The only
thing I regret is that I wasn’t the first one to pin you and end your streak.
But I’ll be more than happy to be the second.
The cocky superstar leaves the scene, and is followed by Winston.

MATCH 3: LIZ RUSH
VS. JADE VS. CAMIEKO VS. DANA
CHAPMAN:
Referee:
Billy Vargas
“Hot Like Fire” by
the late Aaliyah plays in the background, and the crowd cheers for the Hot
Girl, Camieko! She walks down to the ring, where Dana Chapman already stands
inside, awaiting the rest of her competition. Camieko steps
into the ring and nods to Chapman before posing for the crowd. Shortly
after, "Thick Skin" by Joydrop suddenly
hits, and Liz Rush makes her way onto the stage to a huge ovation! Camieko and
Chapman are soon joined by Rush, who enters the ring energetically. Moments
later, “Zerospace” by Kidneythieves
hits, and cheers from the audience rush to greet Jade! She heads down the aisle
and slides into the ring with her opponents.
Ferrara: That’s right,
Troy: And it all starts right
here, right now!
Vargas
calls for the bell to sound, and all four women jump into the fray. Jade takes
up the fight with Chapman, while Rush and Camieko take it to each other.
Camieko launches Rush into a corner, who hits it hard and stumbles back.
Camieko lifts up Rush from behind and goes for a back suplex, but Rush lands on
her feet behind Camieko and rolls her up! One! Two! Camieko kicks out! They
both get up to a vertical base, and Camieko is shocked that she almost lost so
easily.
Ferrara: I don’t think she’ll let that happen again,
On
the other side of the ring Jade and Chapman are locked up hard. Jade manages to
push Chapman against the ropes before forcing her to bounce off them. Jade
rushes in behind, and when Chapman hits the opposite side,
Jade turns her inside out with a sick clothesline! The former Women’s Champion
goes for a pin cover, but she only gets a two count. Undaunted, Jade lifts
Chapman back up.
Jade
pulls Chapman in close to go for a suplex, but Chapman counters out by shoving
Jade into the ropes! Jade hits the cables and comes back to where Chapman is
waiting, but Jade stops short and boots Chapman in the midsection before
destroying her with the Side Effect!
Jade hooks the far leg... One! Two! Yes, three!
Troy: And that does it for Dana
Chapman, but that was a good effort!
With
only Jade, Camieko, and Rush left in the ring, Jade takes a breather while the
other two battle it out. Camieko staggers Rush several rights, before sending a
boot into her stomach. With Rush hunched over, Camieko grabs her and sends her
head first into the mat with a DDT! Camieko heads into a corner and signals out
to the crowd, prompting a large amount of cheers! She climbs onto the
turnbuckle and takes flight, but the St. Kinard
Splash misses when Rush rolls out of the way! Camieko clutches her just as she
stumbles back up to her feet, but Rush is right behind her. She goes down and
rolls up Camieko! One, two, three!
Ferrara: The rollup didn’t work
the first time, but Rush managed to get Camieko with it the second time!
Rush
rises up in momentary victory, but Jade is waiting there patiently. Once she
sees her moment, Jade goes in for a second Side Effect! But Rush manages to
slip out of it and catches Jade with a sudden Cobra Clutch Bomb! Liz makes the
cover! One! Two! Three!
“Thick
Skin” pumps over the speakers, and Rush raises her arm
in triumph, with the crowd cheering behind her! However, out of the corner of
her eye, she catches Keiko Ishida standing on the stage. Bearing the Women’s
belt on her shoulder, Ishida stares down her challenger, while Rush thinks out
loud and motions for the belt. The crowd continues its cheering as we head into
a commercial.

MATCH 4: TOURNAMENT MATCH – FIRST
ROUND: SCYTHE VS. GREG TANTALUS:
Referee:
Tom Stevens
The crowd is ready
for main event action as the entrance begins to cloud with smoke. Linkin Park's "With You" booms through the
speakers, amplifying the fans' energy as Scythe begins to make his
entrance. The Modern-Day Samurai rushes through the entrance to a huge array of
cheers, looking focused on moving forward in the tournament as he walks down
the long ramp and slides into the ring.
Scythe
climbs up on the turnbuckles and poses for the crowd until the house lights do
down and Lacuna Coil's "Heaven's A Lie" begins to play. The crowd
cheers wildly as a silhouette appears at the top of the ramp, but it soon shows
the familiar site of Greg Tantalus as he marches down the ramp to the ring.
Tantalus
poses against the ropes and then on the turnbuckles before climbing down and
turning his attention to Scythe. Their eyes lock, the bell sounds, and the
action gets underway.
Both
men lock up in the middle of the ring, with Scythe using his power to gain an
advantage. Tantalus uses his technical edge to turn into a go-behind and take
Scythe down with a leg trip before clamping on a side headlock. Scythe gets to
his feet and Tantalus scores with a takedown, but Scythe wraps him in a head
scissors.
Tantalus
tries to find an escape and does by forcing himself up, but Scythe rolls him
into a sunset flip position. Tom Stevens counts 1, 2,
but Tantalus reverses for his own two count before Scythe reverses that into
another count of two. Both men spring to their feet and the crowd cheers at
their display of wrestling expertise.
They
lock up again, but this time sees Tantalus deliver a knee to the midsection. He
acts quickly enough to take Scythe down with a snap suplex before hitting the
ropes and nailing him with an elbow drop to the chest. Tantalus covers and gets
a two count.
He
gets Scythe up and backs him into the ropes before lacing into his chest with a
chop. An Irish whip follows, but Scythe reverses it. He tries a
clothesline, but Tantalus ducks under and hits the other side. The Smooth One returns, but cannot avoid the double hand chop that
Scythe drills into his chest with huge impact!
Tantalus
gets back up, but Scythe blasts him with a dropkick that sends him reeling
backwards into a corner. Scythe hops onto the turnbuckles and drills Tantalus
with right hands, but Tantalus manages to grab him and nail him with a
powerbomb!
Scythe
is flat on his back as Tantalus hurries up to the top rope. Cameras flash as
Tantalus tries his trademark 450-degree splash, but all he gets is canvas to
the chest as Scythe rolls out of the way!
Scythe
turns Tantalus onto his back before beginning his climb up to the top rope.
Scythe flies off for The Diving Blade, but Tantalus gets his knees up and
drives them right into his midsection!
Tantalus
reacts quickly by getting up and grabbing Scythe in a front facelock.
He lifts him up for The Big O, but Scythe floats over him and escapes the move.
He gets in a dropkick to Tantalus' back, which sends him barreling into
Stevens!
As
if it were on cue, the crowd boos as Hollywood Mike Griffin sprints out,
followed by Jonathan Brett, Steve Beovich, and Greg Price.
Brett
lifts Tantalus up, allowing the Tag Champions to pound away on him while
Troy: Mike Griffin has just laid both of these guys out,
and now he's leaving!
With
both men out cold, Beovich and Price grab Scythe by the arm and lay him on top
of Tantalus. Brett gets the referee back into position, and Stevens
counts to three!
Stevens
finally realizes that both men are out cold and he calls for help from the back
as Justin Schenck and Darrin Giles join the others to admire their handiwork as
Frequency comes to a close.
