Back from break, “Control” by Earshot blares onto
the speakers, and the fans begin booing raucously as Justin Schenck leads the
Legacy down to the ring. Behind Schenck are the new Tag Team Champions, The
Alpha Greg Price and The Omega Steve Beovich, Alpha Omega, along with Infernus
and Darrin Giles, the Legacy in full. Schenck grabs a microphone as they all
enter and, through the boos of the crowd, begins
speaking.
Schenck: Hollywood Mike Griffin, last week on Frequency, I told you that you
could find yourself a partner and challenge Alpha Omega for the Tag Team
Championship that you claim they illegitimately won at Meltdown. This week, I
want to know who your partner is, or if you don’t have one yet, I want to know
that too. Essentially,
Moments later, “Parabola” by Tool blasts onto the
speakers, and the fans actually begin cheering as Hollywood Mike Griffin makes
his way to the ring!
Schenck: Ha ha! I guess you pissed off too many
people in your day, huh
With that, the Legacy strikes, and a vicious
five-on-one beatdown of
Hosemann: Tantalus is returning the favor from last week!
Tantalus chases the Legacy members away, and the
fans cheer thunderously! After the Legacy flees, Tantalus grabs a microphone as
Tantalus: I appreciate what you did for me last week, Griffin, so I’m here
returning the favor tonight. And if you need help at Meltdown too, I’m offering
up my services.
With that, Tantalus tosses the microphone to the mat and exits, not waiting
for a response! The fans cheer thunderously as “Hey You” by Simon Says blares
over the speakers, and
Hosemann: I don’t know,

Back from break, “Piggy Bank” by 50 Cent hits the
speakers, and the fans begin cheering for Renegade, who makes his way to the
ring, ready for the opportunity he has been presented with. Renegade positions
himself in the ring and prepares for battle. Moments later, “Footprints” by
G-Unit hits, and the fans explode even louder for Showtime Damon Savage!
Showtime heads down to the ring, ready to go with our next bout. Showtime
enters the ring, standing face to face with Renegade, and the bell sounds,
getting this match underway.
Troy: Alright, here we go! There certainly is a lot at stake here for
Renegade!
Hosemann: Sure is. If Renegade can win this match, he will challenge James
Biamonte for the International Championship right here next week!
* RENEGADE VS. SHOWTIME DAMON SAVAGE
*
Referee: Matt Hansen
Renegade and Showtime are slow to lock up at first, showing each other a
fair amount of respect. When they do finally lock up, Renegade gets the early
advantage, tying Showtime in a headlock. Renegade squeezes the hold hard, but
Showtime digs deep and breaks his way out of it, shoving Renegade against the
ropes. Showtime leaps over Renegade as he returns, and then floors Renegade
with a hard axe kick on the rebound! The fans cheer loudly, and Showtime pours
on the intensity! Showtime whips Renegade into the corner, and charges at him,
looking for a hard big splash. However, Renegade moves out of the way, and
Showtime goes crashing into the corner! Renegade rolls him up… one, two, and
Showtime kicks out!
Hosemann: It was. Renegade is doing exactly what he needs to do, taking
advantage of every opportunity he can to try to steal this one and earn a title
shot.
Renegade now goes on the offensive, lifting
Showtime up and whipping him against the ropes. Showtime rebounds, and Renegade
answers with a hard kick to the gut. Showtime is hunched over, and Renegade
moves in, looking for a DDT. However, Showtime
counters it into a northern lights suplex! The cover… one, two, and Renegade
just barely escapes! Renegade tries to carry himself back to a vertical base,
but Showtime now looks to start controlling the pace and tempo of the match.
Renegade and Showtime exchange fists in the ring, and Renegade establishes a
temporary advantage. However, the slugfest continues, and Showtime takes over,
nailing Renegade with a furious left to the jaw, spinning Renegade around! With
Renegade dazed, Showtime calls for It’s Showtime!
Showtime grabs Renegade for the move, but Renegade nails him with a blind mule
kick south of the border that the referee does not see! Renegade then quickly
rolls Showtime up, using the ropes for extra leverage, again with the referee
not seeing! One, two, three!
Hosemann: You know what,
Most of the fans cheer as “Piggy Bank” hits the
speakers, and Renegade quickly exits the ring, but quite a few boo at the fact
that Showtime lost, and how he lost at that. Renegade doesn’t look back at
Showtime or the ring as he exits, and Showtime gets to a knee, looking pissed
off in the ring as we take a commercial break.

As we return, a video package airs on the
Jumbotron, showing Bryan Conroy vigorously at work, training for his Meltdown
match against Jaguar for a shot at the PWA Championship in the final PWA event,
Everlasting Epic V. The package is set to Conroy’s theme music, Metallica’s “Sad But True,” and
shows Conroy in peak physical condition, preparing for this bout. The package
fades out on a graphic reading, “Bryan Conroy vs. Jaguar, Meltdown, LIVE! Only
on pay-per-view,” and the camera takes us back to
ringside.
Suddenly,
“Opium of the People” by Slipknot explodes onto the speakers, and the fans
begin booing raucously as GI Jew and Justice make their way to the ring. As
they reach the ring, Jew grabs a microphone and the two enter the ring. Justice
stands in the background menacingly, and Jew begins to speak.
Jew: I bet last week, all of you were confused as
hell by what was going on. Well, let me fill you in. Justice is back in the
PWA. I asked Bryan Conroy for a little favor, and he certainly delivered. My
big buddy here has been sitting on the sidelines for almost a year and a half,
with this unfulfilled urge to just pound on someone. Well, now, thanks to me,
Justice has someone to pound on again. Scythe, you couldn’t leave well enough
alone, you had to keep coming back for more. You stand on this high moral
ground and you condemn me; well, now I’ve condemned you. You see people, Scythe
isn’t here tonight, he’s still home recovering from the injuries we gave him
last week. However, I can tell you all that he WILL be at Meltdown on July 1 I
had a little talk with the commissioner, Helen Summers, a little while ago, and
I got a little tag team match arranged for Meltdown. I’m going to be gracious
and give Scythe one week to find himself a tag team partner, because on July 1
at Meltdown, it’s going to Scythe and a partner taking on me and Justice in tag
team action. So Scythe, rest up, heal up, because next
week, I want an answer on your partner. And at Meltdown, I feel bad for whoever
agrees to team up with you, because we are fixin to
tear both your asses apart.
With that, Jew tosses the microphone down to the mat, the fans boo loudly,
and “Opium of the People” replays over the speakers as GI Jew and Justice make
their exit.
Hosemann: And we’re going to find out just who that partner is next week! The
lineup for Meltdown just keeps getting hotter and hotter!

Starsailor’s “Counterfeit Life” hits the speakers and we
see a graphic appear on the screen that reads “PWA Meltdown 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 Meltdown logo.
O’Brien: Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Ron O’Brien and this is
the Meltdown report. Folks, we’re just 11 days away from the
second-to-last pay-per-view spectacular in the history of the PWA, Symphony of
Destruction, live from Phillips Arena in
In the main event, with the PWA Championship on the line, Jackie Baccaro
defends his crown against The Iceman Jason Calysto, a match that will prove to
be the final one of Calysto’s career should he not
capture the gold!
Jaguar will return to action in the PWA to defend his Everlasting Epic PWA
title match against Bryan Conroy! Jaguar will have Romeo and Kerry Cox as his
lumberjacks, and Conroy will field Anthony Failla and a lumberjack to be
revealed next in this turbo-charged contest!

Alpha Omega will defend the Tag Team Championship against
Likewise, Scythe will team with a partner of his choice to meet GI Jew and
Justice!
And, in a match just signed by Commissioner Helen Summers, we will see a triple
threat tag team match, with some rather odd pairings. Based on events that took
place tonight, Helen Summers has decided to make teams out of Showtime Damon
Savage and Renegade, Mike Grieco and the International Champion James Biamonte,
and Dexter P. Wellington and Paul Dawkins! The three teams will battle it out,
elimination style, and when just one team remains, the two teammates will
battle it out in a singles match for the International Championship! We have been
told that this will not affect Renegade’s promised title shot next week on
Frequency, but will simply be in addition to it. With all the bad blood that
will be in the ring with these six men, and with these unconventional rules at
play, anything can happen, and anyone can leave the International Champion!
That’s all for this week, folks. For the Meltdown report, I’m Ron
O’Brien, saying see you next week!

As we return from break, “And Then What” by Young Jeezy hits the speakers, and the fans begin cheering as Da Playboi Romeo makes his way to
the ring! Romeo stands in the squared circle, ready for action, as he awaits
the arrival of his partners. Moments later, “War Machine” by KISS thumps onto
the speakers, and the fans begin cheering thunderously as Kerry Cox heads to
the ring! The fans shower Cox with love and adulation as he heads to the ring,
joining Romeo. Then, “F*ckin in the Bushes” by Oasis
explodes onto the speakers, and the
As they wait on their opposition, “Shoot Outs” by Jadakiss
hits the speakers, and Anthony Failla makes his way to the ring to a round of
raucous jeers. Failla pauses at the foot of the ramp, waiting for his partners,
before entering the ring. As he continues to wait, “Things Done Changed” by
Notorious BIG blares onto the speakers, and the PWA World Heavyweight Champion
Jackie Baccaro makes his way down the aisle, accompanied by Women’s Champion
Magnifica. As the two eye down their opponents, Failla
grabs a microphone.
Failla: So, now’s the time we reveal who our partner is, the man who will
not only team with us here tonight, but the man who will be Bryan Conroy’s
second lumberjack July 1 at Meltdown. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you… Rudy
Montenora!
Hosemann: Rudy Montenora is back, and it looks like he is putting his
long-standing alliance with Bryan Conroy ahead of everything, and selling this
company out!
The fans pop initially at the mention of his name,
but soon begin booing loudly as “Lose Yourself” by Eminem
hits the speakers, and Rudy Montenora smugly emerges from the backstage area.
Montenora joins Baccaro and Failla, and the three enter the ring, going at it
with Romeo, Cox, and Calysto get this match underway!
Troy: Alright, here we go!
Hosemann: This should be one hell of a fight!
* PWA CHAMPION JACKIE BACCARO,
ANTHONY FAILLA, & RUDY MONTENORA VS. JASON CALYSTO, KERRY COX, & ROMEO
*
Referee: Tom Stevens
A big brawl breaks out at the start of the fray,
with no side developing a firm advantage. However, after the initial brawling,
Romeo and Rudy Montenora are left in the ring to officially start the match.
Romeo is on fire initially, taking Montenora down with repeated clotheslines!
Romeo lifts Montenora up, whips him off the ropes, and downs him with a huge powerslam! Montenora writhes on the mat after impact, but
Romeo doesn’t relent, lifting Montenora off the mat and whipping him hard into
the corner! Montenora hits the corner with impact, and Romeo rushes in, but
Montenora is ready for him, nailing him with a hard boot to the jaw as he moves
in! Romeo is turned around and staggered, so Montenora climbs up to the second
rope and leaps off, planting Romeo down with a huge bulldog! Da Playboi hits the mat with a
ton of impact, giving Montenora time to run to the corner and tag Failla into
the ring.
The fans boo loudly as Failla enters the ring, and Romeo gets up, and the two
meet in the center of the ring, standing face-to-face in a tension-filled
face-off. Failla responds first, shoving Romeo, and Romeo then unloads on
Failla, using the strike as license to attack. Failla doesn’t know quite what
hit him as Romeo goes on a tear, nailing him with furious rights and lefts, and
stunning him! Romeo uses the opening to whip Failla against the ropes, but
Failla ducks under it, hits the opposite ropes, and on the rebound, he and
Romeo floor each other with dueling clotheslines!
Hosemann: I think both of these men need to make tags now, and get fresh men in
there!
They do exactly that, and due to ring positioning,
Failla is the first to reach his corner, and he tags the PWA Champion Jackie
Baccaro into the match. Baccaro enters the ring and goes after Romeo, but right
before he can reach him, Romeo tags in Jason Calysto, and the roof nearly blows
off the
Hosemann: Get ready, Baccaro! The Iceman cometh!
Calysto storms into the ring and immediately begins
slugging it out with Baccaro, but due to sheer adrenaline alone, the Iceman
establishes the advantage in the slugfest! Calysto staggers Baccaro, and moves
in on him further, whipping him against the ropes, and attempting a hard mafia
kick as Baccaro rebounds! However, Baccaro has the move scouted, and when he
bounces back, Baccaro ducks under the mafia kick, hits the opposite ropes, and
floors Calysto with a running forearm! Baccaro goes for the cover… one, two,
and Calysto gets a shoulder up!
Hosemann: It certainly was,
Baccaro keeps the pressure mounted, nailing Calysto
with repeated stomps to the midsection, not allowing him to reach a vertical
base. With Calysto sufficiently dazed, Baccaro locks him in a figure-four leglock, and begins squeezing the hold tightly! The fans
are nervous as Calysto attempts to reach the ropes, but ultimately, the Iceman
does exactly that and reaches the ropes, forcing Baccaro to break up the hold!
The fans are energized by Calysto reaching the ropes, but Baccaro looks to
destroy the hopes of the fans just as quickly as they begin. Baccaro lifts
Calysto up and whips him into the ropes. With Calysto stalled in the corner,
Baccaro charges at him, and Calysto moves out of the way, only for Baccaro to leap
to the top rope in one motion, dive off, turn around in mid-air, and nail the
dazed Calysto with a furious springboard clothesline!
Hosemann: Say what you will about Baccaro,
Baccaro goes for the cover… one, two, and Calysto
just barely gets a shoulder off the mat! The fans loudly cheer the kickout, but Baccaro is undaunted, now looking to finish
off this match. Baccaro lifts Calysto off the mat, and goes for the Baccaro
Bomb, but Calysto slips out, and hits the ropes! Baccaro attempts a clothesline
on Calysto’s rebound, but Calysto ducks under it,
hits the opposite ropes, and drills Baccaro down with a furious spinning heel
kick as he returns! The fans cheer thunderously, and Calysto begins his journey
to his corner and a potential tag!
Hosemann: Biased much?
Troy: Oh come on, like you’re not!
Baccaro does the same, trying to get to his corner,
and he does indeed reach it first. Baccaro tags Montenora into the match, and Montenora immediately enters the ring and lunges
at Calysto, trying to prevent him from making the tag. However, just before he
can get to him, Calysto tags in Kerry Cox, and the roof comes off the Corel
Centre!
Hosemann: And Montenora doesn’t look too happy about it!
Cox enters the ring on fire, nailing Montenora with
furious lefts and rights, not allowing him an opportunity to get his bearings.
With Montenora off balance, Cox whips him down with a big back body drop!
Montenora springs to his feet, but Cox downs him with a hard drop clothesline!
Montenora is less spry as he gets to his feet this time, and Cox takes advantage,
moving up to the second rope, and drilling Montenora
down with a furious bulldog as he gets to his feet! Cox goes for the cover…one,
two, and Montenora just barely kicks out! With that, Cox gets up and signals
for the Coxsucker DDT, which sends the
Hosemann: Apparently not,
Troha and Bodycount enter the ring and immediately
club Cox down, resulting in the referee calling for a disqualification. Romeo
and Calysto enter the ring, but between Montenora, Failla, Baccaro, Troha, and
Bodycount, they are limited in their effectiveness. Then, suddenly, the fans
explode as Greg Tantalus makes his way to the ring, steel chair in tow!
Hosemann: Tantalus will help,
Tantalus swings the chair upon entering, knocking
Montenora out of the mix! However, the numbers game begins to catch up, until
Hollywood Mike Griffin darts down the aisle, also with a chair, to a thunderous
ovation!
Hosemann: It is,
Hosemann: I don’t know if it necessarily means all that, Troy, but it DOES
definitely mean that the plans of Jackie Baccaro, Anthony Failla, Rudy
Montenora, Magnifica, Mike Troha, Bodycount, Helen Summers, and whoever else
was involved with it were most certainly foiled tonight! Look at it,
The fans cheer explosively as the heel contingent
collects itself on the outside, and the fan favorites beckon them back into the
ring! Calysto, Romeo, and Cox are engaged in verbal shouting matches with
Baccaro, Failla, Montenora, and Magnifica, while Troha and Bodycount glare
menacingly at the reunited TFU, if only for one night, as the camera fades to
black.
