The FBI warning flashes onto the screen,
before fading into a video that highlights the upcoming 30-man Symphony of
Destruction match for a shot at the world championship of their choice
August 20 at Everlasting Epic IV, along with the turbo-charged Last Man
Standing bout for the ORA title between GI Jew and Anthony Failla, in which
Failla will leave the company if he is not victorious. As the video
package concludes, "Thoughtless" by Evanescence hits and we are

Ferrara: That's right, Troy, and I cannot wait! I am psyched about
this year's Symphony of Destruction more than in other years.
Ferrara: Yeah Troy, I can't even begin to speculate as to who they may

to ringside for our opening contest!
PWA PROGRESSIVE CHAMPIONSHIP: RENEGADE © VS. DEXTER P. WELLINGTON:
Referee: Jose Soares
The crowd is still cheering wildly as Lee Palmer climbs into the ring to
introduce the participants of the first contest, but they quickly begin to boo
as Mozart's "Marriage of Figaro" hits over the loudspeakers.
Palmer:
The opening contest is scheduled for one fall, and it
is for the PWA Progressive Championship! Introducing first, the chellenger,

Wellington is first to step out on the
illustrious SOD set, and he is followed by a battered and beaten Winston, who
limps behind him to show the after effects of the beating he took from Renegade
and Paul Dawkins this past Tuesday on Frequency. Boos follow them down the long
ramp, but
Troy:
Dexter Wellington's actions, namely those against Liz Rush, have
been deplorable as of late. I hope Renegade gives him exactly what he deserves
here tonight.
Ferrara:
We all know Renegade and Liz are good friends, because Liz is Paul Dawkins'
girlfriend, but the real point here is the ring psychology of
50 Cent's "Piggy Bank" hits next,
bringing the crowd to its feet as Palmer speaks again.
Palmer:
And his opponent, from New Brunswick, New Jersey, weighing 229 pounds, he is
the PWA Progressive Champion, he is Renegade!

In the backstage area, we see members of The Legacy congregating, all looking
pensive and focused. PWA Champion Hollywood Mike Griffin, Tag Team
Champions Steve Beovich and Greg Price, Superstar Scott Hosemann, Darrin Giles,
Jonathan Brett and, of course, Justin Schenck are all present.
Schenck:
Alright gentlemen. The night is upon us. Tonight, we all have jobs
to do, and all of them must be accomplished. Beovich, Price, it's your
time to shine. You two are the greatest tag team in the world, so go out
there and show Epton, Wolfe, and the whole world exactly that right now and
hold onto these belts. Hollywood, this is your show, baby. Believe
me, I know Scythe is a formidable foe, but if I didn't know you were the best
in the world, you wouldn't be here.
Price:
Hey, that's my line.
Light laughter emerges from the group.
Schenck:
So, men, once everything has progressed according to plan and we still have
both championships in our camp, all attention turns to the SOD match.
Scott, Darrin, Brett, the three of you and myself will
all be competing in this match. The mission is for ONE of us to win this
match and move onto Everlasting Epic to challenge for any title of our
choice. Our choice will be the ORA Championship. Then, the
remaining members of the camp will go out and capture the International and
Progressive titles by Everlasting Epic and on August 20th, The Legacy will
truly rule the wrestling world as we control every title this company has to
offer! Are you with me?!
Raucous cheers resonate from the dressing
room as Beovich and Price head to the ring for their title match with Schenck.
PWA TAG TEAM CHAMPIONSHIP: THE NATURALS © VS. PAUL EPTON & JOHN
WOLFE:
Referee: Jason Church
At ringside, "Stockholm Syndrome" by Muse hits and Paul Epton and
John Wolfe make their way out to the ring to a very favorable reaction from the
Moments later, "More Human Than Human" by White Zombie hits and The Omega Steve
Beovich makes his way out alongside partner Greg Price, who has now taken to
calling himself "The Alpha," and manager Justin Schenck. The
new Naturals, the Tag Team Champions, have arrived, and they quickly head into
the ring and go at it with the former champs, prompting the bell to ring.
Troy:
Alright, tag team titles on the line!
Beovich starts things off with Epton, and
it is the stronger Beovich who is able to control the early tempo of the
match. Beovich whips Epton into the corner and keeps him there, trying to
keep the speedy Brit off balance. He is successful early, but Epton's
speed is soon too much for him, and Epton eventually turns the tempo around,
bringing the challengers the advantage. Beovich then tags Price into the
match, and Price and Epton proceed to have a very fast-paced, action-packed
exchange that ends with Price being clotheslined out of the ring and Epton
doing a springboard plancha out of the ring and into him!
On the outside, Epton tries to get to his
feet, while Price is out, but Beovich comes from his corner and floors Epton
with a hard clothesline before rolling him back into the ring. Beovich
also rolls Price into the ring, and Price begins crawling toward Beovich once
back inside, looking to make a tag. However, Epton has the same idea, and
begins crawling to his corner. Price reaches the corner first and tags
Beovich back in. Then, as Beovich runs at Epton, Epton tags in John
Wolfe!
Wolfe comes in and begins laying out
everyone left and right. He floors Beovich, floors Price as he storms
back into the ring, and knocks Justin Schenck off the apron when he hops
on! Wolfe then grabs Beovich by the throat and blasts him with a
thunderous chokeslam! Wolfe tags Epton in, and Epton goes to the top,
looking for the Shooting Star Press! However, out of desperation, Beovich
grabs the referee and shoves him into the ropes, knocking Epton off!
Beovich then gets up, sets up Epton, and blasts him with the Extreme Precision
frog splash! Beovich covers... one, two, Wolfe charges but Price
chop-blocks him, three!
Ferrara:
Eh, quit your whining. The Naturals retained the
gold fair and square tonight. I guess the Brits are just gonna have to go
back to the drawing board now.
As the fans boo loudly, "More Human Than Human" plays again and the champions escape
quickly and quietly, knowing that the Legacy has bigger things to focus on for
the rest of the night now that these titles are secure.

Madsen is with Solomon and Walter Gindin.
Madsen:
I'm here with my two favorite people, Solomon and Walter Gindin. How...
Gindin:
Don't get cute, Madsen, or we might have to rip through you again.
Madsen:
We? You couldn't if you tried.
Solomon:
Shut up! This has nothing to do with either of you! This has
EVERYTHING to do with me getting back what is rightfully mine, and I can't do
that unless I get an opportunity. Well, tonight, here at the Symphony of
Destruction, all I have to do is blast through 29 men and that opportunity is
mine. Rest assured, I will not fail. I've
been pinned once, but I will not be pinned tonight. You are looking at

We are taken back to the interview area, where Scott Cornelius is with Jaguar.
Cornelius:
Alright, I'm here with Jaguar, and Jag, this is a huge event for you. You are
just moments away from competing in The Symphony of Destruction match, which
you know will lead to a match for the championship of your choice at
Everlasting Epic 4. What are you thinking before heading out there?
Jaguar:
Corny, a lot of people tell me that I have done it all in this business. And
some might think they're right. I've won more titles than any other superstar
in this company's history, but there's one thing I have none done yet, and that
is compete in the main event of an Everlasting Epic. This industry is all about
Everlasting Epic man, and until I get there, I'm nowhere near done. I know I
have to go out there and outlast 29 other great athletes, but I think people
should know better than to ever count me out by now. I'm gonna go out there and
beat whoever I have to beat, but I will leave here as the SOD winner and go on
to Everlasting Epic 4 to regain the World Title.
Cornelius:
Alright, thanks a lot Jag.

PWA WOMEN’S CHAMPIONSHIP: KEIKO ISHIDA © VS. LIZ RUSH:
Referee: Dan Martin
As Rick Madsen settles in, "The Stone Monkey" by Kazu Matsui plays,
prompting the fans to boo loudly as the Women's Champion Keiko Ishida makes her
way to the ring, alongside agent Walter Gindin.
Madsen:
Hey Troy, I'm very pleased to be out here, and I'm
really looking forward to calling the rest of this show.
Madsen: This is a very interesting
match, to say the least. Keiko Ishida is undefeated in the PWA, and is
now more than six months into her reign as champion, easily the longest reign
of all time. However, in recent weeks, spunky spitfire Liz Rush has shown
signs of perhaps having Keiko's number, or at least having a shot, despite the
fact that she is nine inches shorter and 50 pounds lighter than the menacing
champion.
As Keiko readies herself in the ring,
"Thick Skin" by Joydrop hits and the fans cheer loudly for Liz Rush
as she appears from behind the curtain. Liz wastes no time, sprinting
down the aisle and immediately going after Ishida, prompting the bell to sound.
Liz peppers Keiko with rights and lefts that stagger the intimidating champion,
backing her up to the corner. Once there, Liz runs at her and nails a
furious dropkick that knocks the back of Keiko's head against the buckle!
Keiko is dazed as she moves out, and Liz takes advantage, downing the champion
with a furious enziguri!
Madsen:
She is on fire!
Keiko doesn't stay down long, but she does
seem to be quite out of it as she rises. Liz takes advantage of this
again, bouncing off the ropes and nailing a big spinning heel kick! While
Keiko rises this time, Liz scales the ropes and dives off, looking for a big
cross body... but Keiko catches her and spikes her right on her head!
Madsen: I think Liz is twitching on the mat!
Keiko shakes the cobwebs out of her head,
lifts Liz up, and destroys her with a furious powerbomb! The fans are
booing as Keiko gets in position for her running STO. Liz slowly,
methodically, gets back to her feet, and as soon as she does, Keiko flies at
her and destroys her with the STO! Keiko covers... one, two, three!
Madsen: This woman is unbelievable!
The fans boo as "The Stone
Monkey" blares over the speakers and Keiko Ishida escapes alongside Walter
Gindin, her title again intact.

standing with International Champion Jackie Baccaro and his manager Vulture.
Cade:
Jackie Baccaro, what will it take to win the Symphony
of Destruction here tonight?
Vulture:
Don't answer that, Giacomo. You don't have to let anyone in on the
strategy. Just know this, people. Jackie Baccaro is ready, and
tonight, Jackie Baccaro is gonna shock the world and win the Symphony of
Destruction and move straight to Everlasting Epic.
Baccaro:
Let's face it. I am the complete package. And with Vulture in my
corner, I can't lose. Tonight, a new era dawns. Tonight, I, the
International Champion Jackie Baccaro, earn a spot in the main event of
Everlasting Epic IV and a world title match.

ORA WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPIONSHIP: LAST MAN STANDING: GI JEW © VS. ANTHONY FAILLA
Referee: Matt Hansen
Lee Palmer climbs back into the ring, and
begins to speak over the booing of the crowd as Jadakiss' and Styles P's
"Shootouts" hits the speakers.
Palmer: The following contest is scheduled
for one fall and it is a Last Man Standing match for The ORA World Heavyweight
Championship! Introducing first, the challenger, from
A monstrous blast of pyro explodes at the
top of the ramp before Failla walks out to an equally monstrous chorus of boos.
The former ORA Champion walks down to the ring with a stoic look on his face,
knowing that he must win the title tonight or his career will come to an end.
Madsen:
And that was brought about by GI Jew's words to Failla the other night on
Frequency. GI Jew basically cut to the core of Failla's ego and that drove
Failla to put his career on the line. On one hand, I can understand that he
wants to show that confidence, but having to knock GI Jew down and out for 10
seconds is easier said than done. He might have really painted himself into a
corner tonight.
Failla steps into the ring and pounds his
fist into his palm as the music stops. Suddenly, Slipknot's "Opium of The
People" explodes over the speakers and the crowd goes crazy as Palmer
introduces the champion.
Palmer:
And his opponent, also from Queens, New York, and weighing in
at 234 pounds, he is The ORA Heavyweight Champion of The Worrrrrld, he
is G....I....Jewwww!
GI Jew rides out to a booming ovation from
the crowd and he stops his bike on the ramp to look out into the thousands. He
pounds his chest, which is covered by his now-familiar NYFD muscle shirt,
before raising the ORA Title belt high. A series of four collages of red, white
and blue fireworks shoot off into the now dark waters of McCovey Cove before
the champion speeds his way down the ramp and around the ring before coming to
a stop. Jew hops off the bike, tosses the belt to the ground and Failla rolls out
from the ring to immediately begin the war!
Madsen:
The fight is on here!
GI Jew and Failla immediately tear into one
another with repeated vicious punches, but it is the champion who takes the
advantage as he rocks Failla with three big right hands. He grabs his arm to
whip him into the ring steps, but Failla reverses and it is GI Jew who hits the staircase with a booming thud,
Failla grabs Jew and rolls him into the
ring before applying a quick chokehold. With the champion struggling to breathe,
Failla scoops him up before dropping him down in a sidewalk slam. As if he were
taunting GI Jew, Failla backs off and allows Matt Hansen to begin his count.
Hansen reaches two when GI Jew gets up off the mat, but he is sent right back
down with a vile knee lift to the face.
Madsen:
He is dominating the outset of this match, but it’s gonna take a lot more than
a slam here or there to keep him down and win this match.
Failla heeds Madsen's inaudible advice as
he rolls out of the ring and returns with a steel chair in hand. He swings it,
but GI Jew ducks down and hits him in the midsection before stunning him with a quick DDT. Jew then grabs the chair and winds up before
delivering a huge shot to Failla's cranium that sends the entire crowd into
rabid, bloodthirsty cheers!
Troy:
My God, what a chairshot!
Madsen:
If you didn't already put the women and children to bed, now is the time for it
folks.
Failla is down as Hansen begins his slow
count. It reaches three...four...five...six, but not seven as Failla staggers
up to his feet. Jew takes the chair and swings it sideways, but Failla's
massive forearm blocks and swats the blow before his boot connects with Jew's jaw,
sending him down hard.
Failla grabs GI Jew and tosses him out of
the ring, but the crowd oohs once the Jumbotron shows a steady stream of blood
beginning to trickle from his head. Failla ignores it before hopping out
of the ring and bodyslamming GI Jew down on the stadium floor. Failla
shoves a cameraman backwards and then grabs the cords on the floor before
wrapping them around the champion's neck. Hansen demands GI Jew's release, but
Failla is fully aware of the rules because there are none. He chokes the life
out of GI Jew before unwrapping the cords and leaving
him for Hansen to make his count reluctantly.
Madsen:
You know its all legal out there Vic!
The crowd counts along with Hansen for
one...two...three...four...five...six...seven...eight, but it stops there as GI
Jew rises. Failla becomes irate and charges at GI Jew, but the champion sees
him coming and lifts him to deliver a reverse Hot Shot from the floor that
sends Failla's head snapping back on the middle rope and then down hard to the
floor! GI Jew then goes back to the same camera man and rips the machine from
him. Ready to one-up his opponent, Jew puts the camera on his shoulder before
charging and driving it right into Failla's forehead, sending him down for the
count and opening his cut up into a huge gash!
Madsen:
Forget evening it, this match might be over right here!
Hansen counts up to eight, but Failla is
standing before he can get to nine. He staggers back up against the security
wall, and GI Jew sends them both over it with a clothesline that launches them
both into the crowd. Neither man is getting up, so Hansen begins his count. It
reaches five before both men get up.
GI Jew blasts Failla with a big right hand,
but the challenger takes the advantage with a knee to the gut and a suplex that
takes a fan down to the floor in the process. Security rushes in to clear a
path and keep the fans away as Failla mounts GI Jew and wails away on his
forehead until his right fist draws blood.
Madsen:
It’s not pretty at all, this is a straight up fight
with everything on the line!
Failla gets off, but before Hansen can
count Failla scoops Jew off the floor and holds him straight up before spiking
him with a piledriver on top of the floor for good measure!
Madsen:
Not to change the subject, but I know we've got some people out there that are
thinking that didn't hurt because this ballpark is on a grass field. That's
true, but in order to protect The Giants' playing surface, a thin and hard mat
was run throughout the floor to keep the grass in order. The translation? That
hurt like holy hell!
GI Jew is motionless as Hansen fights his
way through the crowd to make his count. It reaches one...two...three...four...five...six...seven...eight...nine...,
but Jew gets up! Failla runs back at GI Jew, but the bloody champion surprises
him and everyone else when he meets Failla with a thunderous Gore that sends
them both barreling five rows backwards into the crowd!
With stadium security unable to contain the
brawl, a few os San Fransisco's finest are called in to keep the crowd safe.
Before Hansen can count, GI Jew is already lifting Failla up and punching him
back further and further towards the right field wall. Jew hits Failla with a
big right hand that sends him stumbling into a wall on the foul line of the
park.
GI Jew charges, but another Failla big boot
takes him down in a heap. Failla grabs GI Jew by the legs and drags him towards
the rightfield wall in the outfield. After spitting on Jew is a huge show of
disrespect, Failla unleashes a violent slingshot that sends Jew's head crashing
into
Madsen:
I'm a big baseball fan, and we know that number
represents the number of homeruns hit on the fly into the waters of McCovey
Cove. Michael Tucker hit the 38th one in early this season, but that has to be
the biggest splash hit this park will ever see! Just bring Failla the belt now.
Failla backs up and falls to one knee as
Hansen comes over to begin his count. GI Jew is motionless as Hansen reaches
five, but he begins to stir by seven. The count reaches eight, then nine...and
GI Jew barely staggers to his feet before the count reaches ten.
Madsen:
How did he get up?!
Troy:
We'll never know, but both of these guys are battered and bloodied and still
neither will stay down!
GI Jew stumbles backwards against the big
gate that keeps the fans lining McCovey Cove apart from the playing field.
Failla wipes more blood from his eyes and charges at GI Jew before hitting the
master with a Gore that send the gate flying open and both crashing to the
concrete floor below!
Madsen:
I don't know how these two aren't dead by now, but Failla can make the ultimate
claim to fame if he beats GI Jew with his own move. All he needs to do is get
up before him.
Both men are down and even Hansen looks
stunned as neither man is able to move. Knowing there would be a riot if both
were counted out, Hansen slows his cadence as both men begin to stir. Failla
rises at eight and Jew at nine, but neither man is in shape to forge another
attack. Failla's face is a proverbial crimson mask and Jew's is as well, along
with his now blood-soaked muscle shirt.
Failla rocks GI Jew with a big right hand,
but Jew comes back and lands one of his own. He tries another, but Failla
blocks it and knees him hard in the gut. Failla runs a thumb over his throat to
call for The Almighty Sacrifice, which will surely spell the end of Jew's reign
if he connects on the hot concrete. He lifts Jew up, but the champion rakes him
across the eyes! Failla drops him, but Jew lands on his feet behind Failla. He
quickly grabs him in a pump handle before dropping him right on top of his head
and laying him out in the middle of a crowd with a demonic Magnum Driver!
Madsen:
But GI Jew is down too!
Both men lay motionless on the heated
surface as Hansen begins to count. The ref counts one....two....three....four...five...six...and
neither man moves a centimeter, outside of their chests heaving for air. He
reaches seven....then eight....then nine....but GI Jew manages to get to his
knees and then his feet before collapsing again as Hansen counts to ten and
calls for the bell! "Opium of The People" hits again, and the crowd
goes bananas when GI Jew is announced as the victor!
Madsen:
He fell back down, but he managed to rise just long enough to get the huge W!
Neither man can move as Hansen comes over
and raises the hand of the downed champion. Two
Madsen:
The general hospital here knew they would have two arrivals tonight. I just
hope both of these guys are okay.
Hansen stands by, looking stunned as both
men are about to be loaded onto backboards. Failla finally comes to and
realizes that he lost and his career is over. Before, he punches an EMT in the
face and turns the backboard over in a fit of rage!
Madsen:
Failla is back up!
Failla goes over to attack GI Jew and he
does so by clubbing him down from behind. He kicks GI Jew all the way back
towards McCovey Cove and then chokes him as they near the fence dangerously.
Failla yells that he is going to drown the champion, bringing the team of
police back over to break things up. Failla fights them off as Jew finds a way
to rise and reach his feet. Failla turns back and runs for a clothesline, but
Jew ducks down and scores with a high back body drop that sends Failla crashing
into the waters of The Cove!
Madsen:
Put "039" on the board!
"Opium of the People replays in the
stadium as a police boat quickly rushes over to rescue Failla with a large net.
The neighboring fans serenade him with their goodbyes as he's brought back onto
the land, loaded onto the ambulance and quickly driven towards the nearest
medical facility. By then, GI Jew has come back into
