A video package airs, highlighting
events that took place on Saturday night, with Greg Tantalus winning the
Symphony of Destruction match, last eliminating Jackie Baccaro, who spent an
awe-inspiring 69 minutes in the ring. The opening credits then roll as
Troy: We really did,
Paul. It was a fantastic evening, and tonight, we're going to continue
that momentum with another barnburner of a show! So let's get the show on
the road and get down to Lee Palmer at ringside!
The attention turns to the middle of
the ring, where Lee Palmer is standing inside. The crowd quiets as he begins to
speak.
Palmer:
Ladies and gentlemen, allow me to introduce you to the winner of the 2005
Symphony of Destruction, Smooth Greg Taaaaaaaan-talussssss!
The lights go out as Lacuna Coil's
"Heaven's A Lie" bursts through the speakers to a huge ovation!
Within moments, Greg Tantalus arrives to a tremendous pop from the crowd and
the
Troy:
Greg Tantalus had the best chance of winning the Symphony of Destruction the
minute he pulled the number 30 ball out of the tumbler, and he capitalized on
that by winning the event, and now he will go on to Everlasting Epic 4 to
compete for the championship of his choice!
The crowd slowly quiets as Tantalus
grabs a microphone from ringside.
Tantalus:
Thank you guys. Now down to business. Saturday night was one of the biggest
nights of my career. I showed up in
The crowd cheers until Tool's
"Parabola" explodes through the speakers. Boos flood the building as
Justin Schenck leads Darrin Giles, Superstar Scott Hosemann, Greg Price, Steve
Beovich to the ring as Hollywood Mike Griffin pulls up the rear with the PWA
World Heavyweight Championship belt in tow. Tantalus stands his ground as
The Legacy pours into the ring, with Jonathan Brett conspicuous by his absence.
Schenck quickly demands a microphone and hands it to the champion, who comes
face to face with his former tag partner.
Griffin:
I mean, come on Greg, do you really expect me to be impressed that you won on
Saturday? I was the first man to win an SOD match, and I didn't need the last
draw in the match to get it done. It's really easy to sit on your high horse
and talk your trash when you had the easy road to victory, which is the only
road you can take. there are other guys in that match
who are easily more deserving of a shot than a loser like you!
Tantalus looks ready to whack
Calysto:
You and I normally don't see eye-to-eye, but you just made one helluva point there Mike. I went for 59 minutes in The
Symphony of Destruction, longer than anyone who has ever started that match. I
eliminated two men in the process and came within three eliminations of being
the winner. I think thats
definitely deserving of a World Title shot, and you're the guy to give it to
me.
Before Calysto can react, he is quickly
taken down by the tag team champions! Tantalus tries to help out, but
Troha slides into the ring and cracks
Beovich hard in the back with the chair before planting a blow
atop Price's skull! The rest of The Legacy flees the ring as an irate
Troha picks up a mic.
Troha:
No, no, no. Screw this! There are three of us in this ring and there are six of
you there. I don't know where Brett is hiding, but I'm saying right now that we
want you in a six man tag, right here, tonight in
Schenck:
Alright you got it! But Jonathan Brett is not here Troha! He knew you'd try to
pull some crap tonight, so the three you will face are Scott Hosemann, Darrin
Giles, and the greatest wrestler in the World today, Mike Griffin!
Troy:
Oh man, what a main event!

Back from commercial, the camera takes
us to the dressing room of Vulture and International Champion Jackie Baccaro.
Baccaro:
I was this close, man.
Vulture:
You really were. Don't worry about it, Giacomo. Your time is
coming. You just lasted 69 minutes in the Symphony of Destruction, a new
all-time record. People who do things like that can't be held down for
long. You will be the world champion someday, that much I can guarantee.
As Vulture and Baccaro continue to
talk, Lauren Tantalus enters the room. When Baccaro sees her, he gets up
and walks out, leaving Vulture and Lauren alone in the room.
Lauren:
Hey.
Vulture:
Hey.
Lauren:
So, did you think about what I asked last week?
Vulture:
Yeah, I did.
Lauren:
Well, did you decide anything?
Vulture: I did. But I have some things to say that I want everyone
to hear. I'm gonna go out to the ring in a little bit and I'm gonna let
you and the whole world know what my decision is. I'll see you out there.
Lauren:
Ok.
Vulture gets up to leave, but stops at
the door when Lauren calls him.
Lauren:
Mike?
Vulture: Yeah.
Lauren:
Thanks.
Vulture nods his head and continues
walking out the door.
The camera cuts back to ringside, where
"Exorcism" by Theatres des Vampires hits and the fans boo loudly as
"The Angel of Death" Vladimir Vydrina makes his way to the ring,
alongside Rodney King, Jon Dulberg and Natasha Vydrina. The camera cuts
to the ring, where we see Damien Fields inside, awaiting the arrival of the
massive Russian. Vydrina steps into the ring and immediately goes to work
on Fields, prompting the bell to sound.
*
VLADIMIR VYDRINA VS. DAMIEN FIELDS *
REFEREE:
JASON CHURCH
Troy:
Alright, Vladimir Vydrina is wasting no time going after Damien Fields right
here.
Vydrina goes after Fields hard,
immediately clotheslining him to the mat
viciously. He then lifts him up and whips him into the corner, following
him in with a hard splash. Fields stumbles out, and Vydrina grabs him by
the head and spikes him against the mat. Fields is able to pull himself
to his feet, but when he does, Vlad blasts him with a
hard shoulder tackle. He then peels Fields off the canvas and locks him
in the bearhug!
Vydrina shakes Fields like a ragdoll and Fields quickly taps out.
*
WINNER VIA SUBMISSION: VLADIMIR VYDRINA
*
However, Vydrina will not break the
hold. Vydrina keeps the hold locked in, trying to break all of Fields'
ribs. The official pleads with Vydrina to stop, but he won't
listen. Then, the fans explode as Showtime Damon Savage storms down to
the ring! With fists of fire, Showtime takes out everyone in sight,
knocking Dulberg out of the ring and pounding Vydrina until they all
retreat. Showtime stands in the ring, daring Vydrina to come inside as
"Footprints" blasts onto the speakers. King holds Vydrina back
as a staredown ensues and we take a break.

Metallica's "Sad But True" begins to thump through the arena as the
crowd boos for the arrival of Bryan Conroy, Helen Summers and F. Anthony
Annetta. The ORA's triumvirate carries a look of
disdain for the Californian crowd as they all pile into the ring. Conroy grabs
a microphone with an angry stare on his face as the fans begin to quiet down.
Conroy:
Alright, we all saw what happened at Symphony of Destruction. Anthony Failla
put his career on the line and he fought harder than I have ever seen him
fight, but he came up short and GI Jew remains The ORA Champion (Crowd cheers).
Whatever. We are still the leaders of The ORA and there are some things about
that match I need to discuss with our champion, so GI Jew, come on out here.
Slipknot's "Opium of The
People" begins to play as GI Jew rides his bike out to a huge ovation. He
circles the ring as the spotlight follows him and it doesn't take much longer
for him to get inside the ring to get a microphone. He can barely speak before
the chants of "GI Jew" ring throughout the arena, but he slings his
belt over his shoulder and begins.
Jew:
What do you want
Conroy:
Ever since last Saturday, you've gotten a ton of praise on what most people
thought was a great match. If I was a barbaric moron like most of these people,
sure, I'd think it was awesome. But I'm not a barbaric moron like these people
and yourself. I am the owner of this company, and as the owner of this
company, I think your match was horrible!
Jew:
(Laughs) Oh yeah? And why is that?
Conroy:
It’s very simple Josh. The goal of the match was to knock your opponent out for
ten seconds, but you chose to take things to the entire arena. Normally, I'd be
cool with that, but what you did was issue a Gore to Anthony Failla that took
out 4 people in stands along with you. Those four people each threatened to
slap me with a serious lawsuit, and because of that, I had to issue
out four of the hottest tickets going around. Because of that, those four
people will be attending PWA Live From
Jew:
Listen
Conroy:
Speaking of, I do have another opponent lined up for you, but not for that
night. I've got him right about...now!
Before GI Jew can see him coming, Romeo
runs out through the crowd and clubs him from behind! He stomps away on the
champion without relenting, and Conroy motions for Annetta to assist him.
Conroy:
That's right Josh! Romeo is our newest ORA associate,
and he will be the man to take that title from you! How does it feel?! How does
it ---
Conroy drops the microphone and flees
as Jaguar rushes down the ramp and slides into the ring! He immediately takes
Annetta down with a tackle before getting up and hitting Romeo with a
clothesline that sends him over the top rope to the arena floor! The shot
abruptly cuts out as Jaguar stands off against the ORA from the ring.

JAGUAR & ORA CHAMPION GI JEW VS. ROMEO & F. ANTHONY ANNETTA *
REFEREE:
MATT HANSEN
We return from the break to find Romeo
in the ring trading punches with Jaguar as Annetta and GI Jew stand on the ring
apron.
Troy:
We're sorry for that abrupt commercial break, but during that break, Bryan
Conroy sent Matt Hansen out here to officiate this impromptu tag team match.
Romeo overpowers Jaguar with his heavy
right hands before backing him into the ropes and whipping him across the ring.
Jaguar hits the cables as Romeo ducks his head down for a back body drop, but
Jaguar stops short and jams his kneecap into his face, stunning him before he
is taken down with a hard clothesline! Jaguar covers for one...two...and Romeo
powers out. Jaguar tries to walk over for a tag, but Romeo grabs him by the
boot and manages to tag Annetta.
The Lieutenant Commissioner runs in and
drops a hard elbow to the back of the neck, immobilizing Jaguar as he tries to
make a cover. He only gets a two count. Annetta lifts Jaguar up and scores with
a backbreaker before trying again with the same result. Frustrated, Annetta
calls for The Tommygun Spinebuster, bringing applause
from Conroy and Summers as he lifts him up.
Annetta shoots Jaguar into the ropes
and gets him up in the air on his return, but Jaguar quickly hooks Annetta's head with his arm and uses his own momentum to
drive him into the mat with a huge DDT as Annetta
connects with an obviously weakened spinebuster!
Jaguar rolls towards his corner and
brings GI Jew in to a furious array of cheers, but the champion ignores them as
he lays Annetta down with a right hand before nearly knocking Romeo off the
apron with another. Annetta gets up and nails Jew in the back before attempting
an Irish whip, but it is reversed. Romeo hits Annetta in the back to make a
blind tag as he hits the ropes, but Jew misses with a clothesline before coming
back and dissecting Annetta's midsection with a
tremendous Gore!
GI Jew tries to cover, but it doesn't
matter because Annetta is not the legal man, and Conroy is on the ring apron. Summers joins him and GI Jew grabs both of them by the hair.
He threatens to bash their skulls together, but before he can, Romeo runs up
behind him and rolls him backwards into a schoolboy! He holds Jew's fatigue
pants for extra leverage as Hansen counts to three!
B.G.'s "I Want
It" thumps through the building as Romeo and Annetta are announced as the
winners. Both men quickly exit the ring, leaving Jaguar and Jew inside of it as
Conroy raises the arms of his successful tandem, cackling the entire time.

Back from commercial, "Falling From The Sky" by VAST blasts onto the speakers for the
first time in 10 months. The fans pop initially for the music, and then
begin booing as Vulture makes his way to the ring, alone. Wearing his
black leather Kangol hat, dark red Nehru shirt, black
pants, and dark black Aviator sunglasses, Vulture grabs a microphone and heads
into the ring.
Vulture:
You all know why I'm out here. But you don't know what I'm out here to
do. Let me give you all a little back story first, just to refresh your
memories. Two years ago, Lauren Tantalus walked into the PWA and into my
life. Less than a year later, we were dating. For the first half of
2004, Lauren and I were together, and everything was fantastic. My career
was winding down, thanks to a neck injury that simply refused to heal properly,
and after finishing some unfinished business with Greg Tantalus at Everlasting
Epic III, I was set to retire. I suggested to my girlfriend that we had
all the money in the world and that she should retire too and we should go away
together and basically live happily ever after. So what happens?
She freaks out, bashes me in the skull with a chair to cost me my last match,
and joins forces with her brother. I disappear, but three months later,
she finds out that karma is a bitch and suffers a career-ending
concussion. Of course, that brings us up to date, where I returned
alongside Jackie Baccaro in February and proceeded to buy Lauren's contract as
our personal chef the following month, her only means of staying in the company
after the injury. Clearly, I did this to torment her, and I enjoyed it,
but now, three months later, she has asked me to please let it go and let her
out of the contract so that she can leave the wrestling business and move to
London to become a pastry chef. Basically, my humanity is being
tested. Am I vengeful, or am I forgiving? Am I heartless, or does
warm blood actually flow through these veins? I
guess now is the time to find out. So, without any further adieu, Lauren,
come on out here. I've made my decision.
Seconds later, "Free" by VAST
hits onto the speakers and a nervous-looking Lauren Tantalus makes her way to
the ring. Lauren steps into the ring, directly across from Vulture.
When she enters the ring, Vulture removes his sunglasses, puts them into his
front pocket, and continues speaking.
Vulture:
You know, I've thought a lot about this, and I've decided, finally, to put
everything behind us. There's no reason to be petty anymore. You
have a dream, and I'm not going to stand in your way any longer.
Vulture takes her contract out of his
pocket, and rips it up.
Vulture:
You're free now. You are no longer affiliated with the PWA, and more
importantly, you are no longer bound to me. You are free to go.
Lauren smiles widely.
Lauren:
I don't know what to say.
Vulture:
Just say thank you.
Lauren:
(smiling) Thank you.
Lauren and Vulture hug in the ring and
the fans applaud. Vulture then backs up and puts his Aviators back on as
Jackie Baccaro runs out to the ring, unbeknownst to Lauren.
Vulture:
Goodbye Lauren.
Vulture then turns his back to her and
Lauren turns around, a look of shock and fear on her face as Jackie Baccaro
grabs her by the hair. Lauren screams for Vulture to help her, but he
will not listen. Baccaro lifts Lauren up, her condition and all, and
blasts her with a furious Baccaro Bomb in the ring!
A hush falls over the crowd and the
camera zooms on Vulture, and you can see a single, solitary tear begin to drop
down his cheek, before he brushes it away. As the crowd boos rampantly,
Greg Tantalus stampedes down to the ring and spears Baccaro to the
ground! As Tantalus pounds away on Baccaro, Vulture exits the ring, grabs
a chair, and cracks Greg Tantalus in the skull with it, knocking him out!
A scowl is now on Vulture's face, and Baccaro looks extremely pissed, as his
lip has been split open, as the fans shower them with jeers. Vulture then
picks up the microphone.
Vulture:
Revenge sure is a bitch, isn't it? As I stand here in the ring,
both Tantaluses motionless at my feet, I am now
officially vindicated.
Vulture tosses the mic
to the mat and "Things Done Changed" hits the speakers and the two exit the ringside area to a massive amount of scorn from the
