A
video package airs, highlighting events that took place last week, with Kerry
Cox going to New York City to try to unsuccessfully try to convince Vulture to
return to the PWA and challenge Jackie Baccaro, Baccaro and Jason Calysto
engaging in a heated brawl following the contract signing for their July 1 PWA
Championship bout at Meltdown, and Hollywood Mike Griffin surprisingly coming
to the aid of Greg Tantalus, who was being assaulted by The Miracle Mike Troha
and Bodycount. From there, “By_Myslf” by
Hosemann: That we do,
Hosemann: There’s no telling who it could be,
Troy: Also tonight, folks, James Biamonte defends the International
Championship against arch nemesis Mike Grieco, Lauren Tantalus squares off with
Jade, and much more! But first, let’s get down to ringside with our opening
contest!
The sounds
of “Hear Me” by Darkseed explode onto the speakers,
and the fans begin cheering raucously as the Alaskan Monster Solomon makes his
way to the ring! As Solomon stands in the ring, “Determined” by Mudvayne blasts onto the speakers, and the fans continue
cheering loudly as Speed Demon heads down the aisle! Demon joins Solomon in the
ring, and the pair awaits the arrival of their opposition. Moments later, “Edge
of the Earth” by 30 Seconds To Mars hits the speakers,
and Army of the Damned member Loki arrives to a round of hearty boos.
Troy: Folks, this past weekend, Loki quietly accepted the challenge Speed
Demon made two weeks ago on Frequency for a career-ending barbed wire steel
cage match July 1 at Meltdown, not wanting to give him the satisfaction of a
public acceptance. But, the match is on, and it WILL take place in
Hosemann: And it should be nothing short of sheer chaos.
Loki
pauses at the foot of the ramp, and “Trust” by Sevendust then blares onto the
speakers. Briggs emerges to a raucous amount of boos, being accompanied by his
manager Walter Gindin. Briggs enters, never taking his eyes off Solomon in the
ring. Finally, Briggs and Loki meet, and the two enter the ring together,
prompting a brawl to break out in the center of the ring!
Troy: Alright, here we go!
Hosemann: This one should be a war!
* SOLOMON & SPEED DEMON VS. BRIGGS & LOKI *
Referee: Jason Church
Solomon and Briggs go at each other hard, and Loki and Demon do the same,
and the
Hosemann: Oh c’mon ref, let them go!
Hosemann: Exactly!
Despite
the feverish ringing of the bell, Demon and Loki continue struggling over the
chair, and it is Demon that gets it! Demon looks to nail Loki with the chair,
but Bishop Cross runs to the ring, and attacks Demon from behind! Cross and
Loki double team Demon inside the ring, while Briggs pounds on Solomon outside
of it, and numerous officials dart from the back to separate everyone. The
officials clearly have their work cut out for them as we take our first
commercial break.
* WINNERS: NO CONTEST *

BREAK --
Back
from break, “Foxy Foxy” by Rob Zombie hits the
speakers, and the fans boo loudly as the PWA commissioner Helen Summers makes
her way to the ring. Summers grabs a microphone and enters the ring as the fans
continue their jeering.
Helen: Alright, we have a big show to
bring you tonight, headlined by a big main event, but that’s not why I’m out
here right now. I’m out here because I have one order of business to address,
so I’d like to call someone out here right now. Ladies and gentlemen, I give
you the PWA Women’s Champion, Magnifica!
With that, “Cuz I Can” by Pink explodes onto the
speakers, and Magnifica makes her way to the ring to a raucous array of jeers.
Magnifica enters the ring, and with the fans still booing, Summers
begins to speak.
Helen: The
reason I brought you out here right now, Magnifica, is because the announcement
I am about to make has to do with the Women’s Championship, a title that you
proudly and ably wear. Now, as you people might have heard, in 11 days at
Meltdown, Magnifica here will be defending the Women’s Championship against
Lauren Tantalus, thanks to an old, unused rematch clause. I am sure Magnifica
will overcome that small obstacle, but the question becomes what to do with the
Women’s Championship situation after Meltdown? That is what I am here to
discuss. You see, after defending the title at Meltdown on July 1, the 30-day
defense rule would be set to expire on August 1. However, with just 41 days
remaining in PWA, it is my executive decision that the title needs to be
defended only once more after Meltdown, and that will come August 12 at
Everlasting Epic. Now, to address several things. If
Magnifica is to lose the title at Meltdown, she will get to exercise her
rematch clause three nights later, on July 4 at Frequency. As for Everlasting
Epic, a challenger is needed, and of course, the only two logical, realistic
choices for opponents are Keiko Ishida and Morgan Day. However, after last
week, I think the top choice for the match has been made abundantly clear. I am
hereby naming Keiko Ishida the number one contender to the Women’s
Championship, and the individual that will challenge for the title at
Everlasting Epic.
Moments later, “The Stone Monkey” by Kazu Matsui
hits, and the fans give a largely positive reaction to Keiko Ishida, as she
quickly and intently makes her way to the ring. Ishida grabs her own microphone
and begins speaking.
Keiko: While I am grateful that I would
be named number one contender to the Women’s Championship, and the Everlasting
Epic challenger, I am afraid I cannot accept this. Not this way.
Helen: What are you talking about? This isn’t your reward, should you choose to
accept it. You are the challenger for Everlasting Epic, and you don’t have a
choice.
Keiko: An individual always has a choice in life. The reason I cannot accept
this title match is because you are using last week’s match as a basis for
determining the challenger. While I did win the match, I do not think it’s fair
to single out that one bout and declare me more deserving. Morgan and I have
had six singles matches which ended in a pinfall, and we have won three battles each. Additionally, Morgan
did not know that she was battling me for a shot at the title at Everlasting
Epic next week. I think it’s only fair that Morgan and I engage in one final,
deciding battle to determine the Everlasting Epic challenger.
Helen: No disrespect Keiko, but I don’t care what you think. This is the way
it’s gonna be because I said…
Suddenly, “Dead Promises” by The Rasmus explodes
onto the speakers, and the fans erupt in thunderous cheers for Morgan Day!
Morgan emerges, microphone in tow, and walks straight down the aisle and into
the ring.
Morgan: First of all, thank you Keiko for
standing up for me, even though it was completely unnecessary. You know Helen,
I get it. I get why you’re doing this. It’s because you, Magnifica, are afraid
to face me. You know you are. That’s why you cowered out of the match we were
supposed to have at Animosity, and that’s why you have our esteemed
commissioner here sheltering you from me. Not that Keiko Ishida is any better,
believe me, she is as tough as they come, but you know full well my beef with
you is much, MUCH more personal, and if given the chance, I’d bloody rip your
little tart head off. However, though I hate to rain on your little parade,
when I lost the Women’s Championship, I never received a rematch for that
title. And even though there is no obligation to defend the title from
administrative restrictions on title reigns, I am contractually obligated to a
rematch, and if I don’t receive one, you will see me in court.
Helen: You wouldn’t.
Morgan: I would, and I’d be well within my rights to.
But quite honestly, Keiko’s idea intrigues me more. You only want to give one
of us a title shot from hereon out? Fine by me. But
since we both have mandatory rematch clauses you are
choosing to ignore, let us fight it out one last time for the right to move on.
Magnifica: I don’t care what you do, honestly. I’m gonna take Lauren Tantalus’
ass out at Meltdown, and whichever of you I have to face at Everlasting Epic,
it won’t be any big deal to embarrass you and take you down.
Magnifica wears a smug look, but Helen wears a look of anger.
Helen: You have some nerve, you know that Morgan? You think you can waltz down
here and undermine my authority? Who the hell do you think you are?
Morgan: I’m Morgan Day, bitch. One false move and I’ll
show you just who the hell I am.
Helen: You’d better watch your step, ho. I don’t see your cripple boyfriend
around here, words like that might get you hurt, and I’m not talking a broken
nail.
Morgan: I don’t need my man to fight my battles for me. If you’re feeling froggy, then bloody leap, bitch!
Helen then gets in Morgan’s face as if she is about to do something, but
instead puts her hand in her face and walks away. When at a safe distance,
Helen continues speaking.
Helen: Whatever. You two want your match?
Have your match. But it’s not going to be just any match. It’s going to be a
ladder match, July 1 at Meltdown. We’re going to put a contract to wrestle for
the Women’s Championship at Everlasting Epic in a briefcase and hang it 15 feet
above the ring, and whichever of you two grabs it first will get that title
shot. And THAT is final.
Helen then tosses the mic down and exits the ring
in a huff. Magnifica then moves in on Keiko and Morgan and taunts them with the
championship belt briefly before exiting herself. Morgan and Keiko are left
standing side-by-side in the ring, staring intently as Helen and Magnifica as
they depart, but still keeping an eye on each other, as we go to commercial.

Back from
break, “Da Repercussions” by 50 Cent hits the
speakers, and the fans begin cheering loudly as Mike Grieco makes his way to
the ring, to challenge for the International Championship!
Hosemann: Well
Grieco
steps into the ring and stretches out on the ropes as he awaits the champion.
Moments later, “Still Ballin” by 2Pac hits, and the
International Champion James Biamonte makes his way to the ring to a deafening
chorus of boos. Biamonte, uncharacteristically, is wearing a warm-up jacket in
addition to his traditional wrestling attire as he makes his way down. Grieco,
however, is waiting patiently in the ring, readying himself for the opportunity
he has been waiting for, the chance to both gain revenge on the man who put him
on the shelf, and regain the championship he once held so dear. Biamonte enters
the ring, and immediately pulls a lead pipe out of his warm-up jacket and
cracks Grieco in the skull with it! Grieco’s head is
split open and he goes out like a light! The fans are in shock, as is the
referee, who cannot disqualify Biamonte, since the match hadn’t officially
begun! Biamonte shouts at referee Jose Soares to ring the bell to start the
match and, under duress, Soares does so.
* PWA INTERNATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP: JAMES BIAMONTE © VS. MIKE GRIECO *
Referee: Jose Soares
Wasting little time, Biamonte covers the bloody, unconscious Grieco smugly…
one, two, three.
Hosemann: Biamonte has just outsmarted Grieco,
The fans
boo thunderously as “Still Ballin” replays and
Biamonte picks up his belt from the mat, which fell off him as he struck Grieco
with the pipe, puts it back around his waist, and exits, wearing a confident,
sly grin on his face. At the top of the ramp, Biamonte gestures back to Grieco
with a middle finger, and exits to the back. The fans continue to boo raucously
as Grieco slowly regains consciousness and we take another commercial break.
* WINNER VIA PINFALL AND STILL INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION: JAMES BIAMONTE *

As we
return from break, we see Liz Rush walking through the backstage area. As she
reaches the water cooler, she is stopped by Dexter P. Wellington, who looks at
her alluringly.
Liz: What the hell do you want?
Liz: Dex, stop it. You know I’m with Paul.
Liz: I’m not having this conversation.
Suddenly,
Paul Dawkins rushes over and tackles
Helen: So you want a shot at the
International Championship, huh?
Renegade: That’s right. I’ve been the champion before, and if given the
opportunity, I’ll be the International Champion again.
Helen: You know what? I’m in a gracious mood tonight. I’ll give you a
one-on-one match tonight with Showtime Damon Savage and, if you win it, next
week, right here on Frequency, you’ll get your shot at the title. How does that
sound?
Renegade: Sounds great to me.
Renegade exits the room, nearly bumping into John Wolfe on his way out, who
enters the room next.
Helen: What do YOU want now?
Wolfe: This issue between myself and Soaring
Helen: Listen, I was just moments ago gracious to Renegade
in honoring his request for an International title shot, I can’t do it again
moments later. How would that seem? I agree with you though, your issue with
Soaring Phoenix must be settled, if only because people are probably sick of
seeing it without seeing you two advance it in any way. You claim you’re
feuding, but there’s still too much respect there, it’s sickening. You either
settle your differences, or you break into an all-out feud, and then I’ll give
you another shot. So, I’ve got just the thing to bring your true feelings out.
Next week, in that ring, it’s going to be Soaring
Wolfe
stands in confusion and Summers smugly turns her back.
Hosemann: What?! The
Swan Song?! We haven’t seen that show in years!
Troy: Henry Swanson and the Swan Song return next week,
and we return right after this!
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
As we
return, “Zerospace” by Kidneythieves
hits the speakers, and Jade makes her way to the ring to a reaction largely
filled with boos. Jade enters the ring and stretches out on the ropes as she
awaits her opposition.
Hosemann: This should be a good one.
Moments
later, “Free” by VAST blasts onto the speakers, and the fans begin cheering
loudly as Lauren Tantalus makes her way to the ring! Lauren looks focused as
she makes her way down the aisle, and she enters the ring, standing face to
face with Jade as the bell sounds to get this one underway.
Hosemann: Indeed we do,
* LAUREN TANTALUS VS. JADE *
Referee: Dan Martin
Lauren and Jade lock up in the center of the ring, and Jade establishes the
initial advantage, shoving Lauren to the mat hard. Jade doesn’t move in on her
as Lauren gets back to her feet, and the two continue. They lock up again, and
this time Lauren takes the advantage, tying Jade in a headlock. Jade shoves her
off, into the ropes, and Lauren rebounds, downing Jade with a hard shoulder
block. Jade springs up, and Lauren bounces off the ropes, looking for another
shoulder block. Jade hits the mat, and Lauren leaps over her, bouncing off the
opposite ropes. Jade springs up again, and Lauren attempts a
leapfrog, but Jade catches her, and downs her hard with a furious
spinebuster!
Hosemann: She’s gotta ride this momentum now!
Jade goes
for a cover, but Lauren kicks out at a short two. Lauren finds her way back to
a vertical base, and Jade moves in, staggering her with repeated forearms. Jade
whips Lauren against the ropes, but as she rebounds, Lauren comes off with a
flying elbow, connecting hard with Jade’s jaw and staggering her hard! Jade is
stunned, and Lauren grabs her, downing her hard with a snap suplex! Lauren then
lifts Jade up and whips her into the ropes, coming off with a hard splash! Jade
stumbles forward, and Lauren hits the opposite ropes, looking to down her hard,
but Jade has it scouted, and floors Lauren with a hard dropkick to the chest!
With Lauren reeling on the mat, Jade signals for the Side Effect!
Hosemann: What a blow this would be to Lauren’s bid for the women’s title!
Jade lifts
Lauren up, and attempts to apply her finisher, but Lauren slips out and rolls
Jade up in a small package! One, two, three!
Hosemann: What a victory,
The fans
cheer loudly as “Free” replays over the speakers, and Lauren celebrates her
victory. Suddenly, she is floored from behind by Magnifica, who cracks her in
the back of the skull with the women’s championship belt!
Magnifica
begins stomping away on her Meltdown opponent furiously, and the fans boo
raucously. Jade stands by and watches Magnifica pound Lauren, until Jade has
seen enough. Jade shoves Magnifica off Lauren as she staggers to her feet, and
Jade and Magnifica have a heated stand-off!
Then,
suddenly, as Lauren gets up, Jade turns around and viciously blasts Lauren down
with the Side Effect! The fans boo thunderously, and Jade exits without even
looking back!
Hosemann: I think we have a sore loser,
Magnifica
cracks a grin as Lauren lies motionless on the mat,
and Jade walks to the back without turning back. Magnifica then grabs the
Women’s Championship belt, stands over Lauren, and raises it high. The fans boo
loudly as “Cuz I Can” by Pink thumps onto the
speakers, and we head to commercial.
* WINNER VIA PINFALL: LAUREN TANTALUS *
