Back from
commercial, we see a video on the Jumbotron, depicting the outside of the
Cologne Arena. A graphic appears on the
bottom of the screen reading, "Earlier Today." People are gathered around two tables and a
podium set up in the parking lot, cheering wildly. On one of the tables sits Jason Calysto, Greg
Tantalus, Progressive Champion Renegade, and James Biamonte. On the other table sits Solomon, Walter
Gindin, PWA Champion Hollywood Mike Griffin, and Mike Grieco. Commissioner Kerry Cox is in between them,
standing behind the podium.
Cox: We are less than three months away

Biamonte: Mike Grieco just had better

Grieco then stands up and he and Biamonte engage in a hostile staredown that is separated by security personnel. We now see the world champion Mike Griffin at
the podium.
Griffin: Simply put, Greg Tantalus
cannot beat me. Never has, never

Tantalus. He will never challenge me for

MATCH 3: PWA INTERNATIONAL
CHAMPIONSHIP: JACKIE BACCARO © VS. PAUL
DAWKINS:
Referee:
Jose Soares
Sevendust’s “Black” begins to play,
and the crowd instinctively begins to cheer as they get ready for the long
awaited International Championship rematch. Paul Dawkins arrives alone, but
with thousands of fans in his corner as he makes his way to the ring.
As
Dawkins waits in the ring, “Things Done Changed” by The Notorious B.I.G. hits
the speakers and boos pour from the crowd as Baccaro and Vulture walk out. The
champion throws his arms into the air as his familiar free-falling gold pyro
streams down behind him.
Baccaro
and Vulture both exude confidence and focus as they stroll down to the ring.
Vulture carries a cocky smirk in the direction of Dawkins as Baccaro climbs
into the ring to show the people the gold he sports. Baccaro hands over
the belt to Jose Soares, but everyone looks at the ramp once 50 Cent's
"Piggy Bank" hits and Renegade steps out! A huge ovation greets The
Progressive Champion, but it grows once Liz Rush follows him out!
The
music stops and the bell sounds, prompting Dawkins to go right on the attack by
nailing Baccaro in the back. He stomps him down into a corner, exciting the
crowd as Renegade and Rush stand on the opposite side of Vulture. Dawkins
pounds Baccaro down until Soares stops him, bringing the crowd to its feet in
celebration of his early advantage.
Baccaro
reaches his feet as Dawkins charges for a Stinger Splash, but he slips out of
the way. Dawkins crashes into the turnbuckles chest-first, allowing Baccaro to
hit the ropes and flatten him with a huge clothesline! Baccaro covers for a two
count.
He
then lifts Dawkins up and drops him with a scoop slam before giving him a
blatant choke hold. Soares breaks it by the count of five, but the damage has
already been done as Dawkins gasps for air. Baccaro scoffs at the crowd before
lifting Dawkins up, holding him high in the air and driving him down on his
back with a big vertical suplex!
Baccaro
kicks Dawkins in the head before whipping him to the ropes and downing him with
a big powerslam. Baccaro hooks the far leg for
one....two....and Dawkins kicks out! Baccaro begins to argue the call with
Soares, but only for a brief time.
Baccaro
goes to lift Dawkins up, but the challenger shocks him with two elbows to the
midsection before flooring him with a European uppercut! Dawkins backs Baccaro
into the ropes and whips him, but its reversed.
Baccaro ducks his head for a back body drop, but Dawkins stops short and jumps
high before driving him down with a Scud Missile legdrop!
Dawkins
gets back to his feet and goes off on Baccaro, clubbing him in the back with
hard blows before whipping him to the ropes and flooring him with a high
dropkick. Baccaro gets up reeling, and Dawkins drives him down twice with two
clotheslines. Baccaro staggers up again and stumbles back into a corner, where
Dawkins meets him with a huge Stinger Splash! Baccaro walks out and falls right
on his face before Dawkins signals for The M.O.A.B.!
Vulture
hops onto the ring apron, but Renegade runs around to yank him down. During
their struggler, Dexter P. Wellington runs down the ramp and clubs the
Progressive Champion down from behind! Liz Rush jumps on
Dawkins
sets Baccaro up for The M.O.A.B. to end the match, but Vulture grabs Baccaro's belt and whacks him from behind! Dawkins falls to
the mat in a heap, and Soares immediately calls for the bell to award the match
to the challenger!
Vulture
stomps away on Dawkins as Baccaro slowly rolls out of the ring. Ishida pounds
away on Rush as

Evanescence’s
“Thoughtless” hits the speakers and we see a graphic appear on the screen that
reads “PWA Symphony of Destruction Report.” From there, the shot takes us
to a backstage set and PWA reporter Ron O’Brien, who is standing in front of a
backdrop featuring the Symphony of Destruction logo.
O’Brien: Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ron O’Brien and this is

The camera cuts
backstage, where a smiling Speed Demon is standing with a beaming Dana Chapman
by the back exit of the arena. The two
kiss, and Dana then exits the building.
Demon is all smiles as he turns around to head back to the locker room,
but he runs into a stone-faced Reaper.
Reaper: What was that all about?
Demon: What? Nothing. Just saying goodbye to
Dana.
Reaper: What’s going on there?
Demon: What do you mean?
Reaper: With you and Dana. What’s going on there?
Demon: I’m not gonna lie. I like her a lot. And she likes me a lot too.
Reaper: Demon, what did we say? No distractions. This is a big distraction. Why do you think we can’t get the tag belts
back?
Demon: I really don’t think this has
anything to do with it. I’m staying
focused.
Reaper: If you were staying focused, we wouldn’t
be having this problem. You need to talk
to her, and tell her you can’t do this, because she’s not good for us. We have a job to do, and you can’t be having
distractions.
Demon: Seriously, this isn’t a problem.
Reaper: Well I’m making it one. Talk to the girl for the sake of our team, or
we’re gonna have a big problem.
Reaper then walks away, leaving a confused and angered Speed Demon behind
as we take our final break.

MATCH 4: TOURNAMENT MATCH – FINALS: SCYTHE VS. JAGUAR:
Referee:
Matt Hansen
Tool's "Parabola"
hits the speakers, and an immense chorus of boos comes for the arrival of
Hollywood Mike Griffin. Decked out in a clean navy pinstriped suit, The PWA
World Heavyweight Champion slings his belt over his shoulder and throws his
arms up to summon his majestic fireworks that explode behind him on the stage.
Within moments,
Troy: Since I know what this
next match is for, I'm not going to ask why you're out here.
Griffin: I'm the champ, I can go wherever I want whenever
I want, no matter who is out here. 3
As
they continue to talk,
Scythe
removes his entrance gear, but the focus shifts back to the entrance as Mannie Fresh's "Real
Big" hits and the roar grows to even higher levels. Jaguar makes his way
out to a massive ovation, and he salutes the crowd before his fiery pyro
ignites behind him on the stage.
Jaguar
climbs into the ring and removes his ring jacket, shades and bandana before
coming to the middle of the ring to look Scythe in the eye. Each man extends
their hands to the other, and the bell sounds as the crowd cheers their
handshake.
Jaguar
and Scythe circle the ring before locking up in the middle. Each man is equal
on strength, so Scythe uses his slight technical advantage to take Jaguar down
with an armdrag. Jaguar gets up and runs at Scythe,
but he falls with a drop toe hold. Scythe floats over into a front facelock, but Jaguar forces himself up to his feet and
rushes him backwards into a corner to break his grip.
Jaguar
reddens Scythe's chest with a hard reverse knife-edge chop before Irish
whipping him to the corner and hitting a back body drop once he stumbles out.
The fresh Jaguar watches Scythe get up before taking him back down with a
clothesline.
Jaguar
grabs Scythe by the hair to get him up before planting a right hand against his
jaw. Scythe comes back with a shot of his own, but Jaguar puts a knee in his
midsection to keep the pace slowed. Jaguar backs scythe to the ropes and shoots
him across the ring before catching him with a surprising sleeperhold.
Scythe's
half of the crowd cheers him on to escape, and he does so by dropping down and
throwing his weight forward, knocking Jaguar's chin against the top turnbuckle!
He stumbles backwards into a Scythe rollup for one....two...and a kickout!
Both
men get up and Jaguar throws a right hand, but Scythe blocks it and comes back
with two of his own. He lands a third before Irish whipping Jaguar across the
ring. Scythe ducks down for a back body drop, but Jaguar scouts it and
stops short before hooking him up and drilling him with Version 1.0! Jaguar
hooks a leg for one....two....and Scythe manages to kick out!
Jaguar
continues the offensive onslaught by lifting Scythe off the canvas and planting
him back down with a brain buster. Jaguar leaves the ring to begin to head up
to the top turnbuckle. He looks for the Suga Splash, but stops once Romeo runs
down the ramp to the ring!
Ferrara: After he lost to Scythe,
he's gotta be out to ruin this match!
Jaguar
jumps back down to the canvas as Romeo nears the ring. He pokes his head out
through the ropes to take a swipe at Da Playboi, but Romeo backs away for him to miss. Jaguar
swings again, but Scythe gets up and grabs him in a waistlock
before rolling him backwards long enough for Matt Hansen to count to three!
Troy: In a flash, Scythe has won
this match!
Ferrara: Yeah, but thanks to the guy he beat earlier
tonight!
"With
You" replays as Scythe carries an exhausted look
of victory, but Jaguar argues with Hansen in pure disbelief. Romeo backpedals
up the ramp, but Jaguar wastes no time in leaving the ring to chase him back
behind the curtain. Scythe is named as the official winner, and the crowd
showers him with cheers as he celebrates.
Troy: Oh, what the hell is this now?!
Ferrara: They're beating the hell out of Scythe, that’s
what!
Griffin
nails Scythe with a huge release German Suplex that sets him up perfectly for
Darrin Giles to nail him with a his signature top rope splash! Scythe clutches
his midsection as The Omega Steve Beovich also mounts the top rope and blasts
him with Extreme Precision! The bell sounds repeatedly, and a swarm of
officials rush out to break it up, but they have no success. Greg Price grabs
Scythe by the legs and turns him over into his Boston Crab as Justin Schenck
smacks him in the head, but the beating halts once Sevendust's
"Trust" hits and Briggs charges out with a chain dangling from his
neck!
Briggs
runs down the ramp and into the ring before removing the chain and swinging it
wildly over his head. The helicopter motion sends The Legacy scurrying for
cover as the officials rush in to check on the battered and beaten number one
contender.
Troy: Thank God Briggs came out here, but Scythe is hurt
and hurt bad.
