A
video package airs, highlighting the portion of last week's broadcast where GI
Jew and Romeo signed a contract to meet for the ORA Championship this Saturday
night at Meltdown in
Ferrara:
You couldn't be more right,
Troy:
You're not going to believe this one, folks! Tonight, the PWA World
Heavyweight Championship will be on the line, just four days before Jason
Calysto challenges for it on pay-per-view. Tonight however, Hollywood
Mike Griffin will put the gold up for grabs against... Scythe!
The
camera shifts to ringside, where Lee Palmer begins the introductions and "Da Repercussions" by 50 Cent hits the speakers and the
fans burst into jeers for Mike Grieco, who makes his way to the ring
first. As Grieco settles himself in the squared
circle, "Not Falling" by Mudvayne hits and
Jon Dulberg emerges to a chorus of boos, accompanied down by Rodney King and
Natasha and Vladimir Vydrina. Dulberg joins Grieco in the ring and the
two begin talking strategy as "Still Ballin"
by 2Pac hits the speakers, prompting the fans to cheer loudly. James
Biamonte makes his way to the ring, stopping at the foot of the ramp, awaiting
the arrival of his partner. Moments later, "Footprints" by
G-Unit explodes onto the speakers, and the fans go nuts as Showtime Damon
Savage makes his trademark entrance, energizing the
* MIKE GRIECO & JON
DULBERG VS. SHOWTIME DAMON SAVAGE
& JAMES BIAMONTE *
REFEREE: JOSE SOARES
Showtime
and Biamonte slide into the ring and the bell immediately sounds, getting this
one underway. When the smoke clears, it is Showtime and Jon Dulberg
slugging it out in the center of the ring. Showtime establishes the early
advantage on Dulberg, pounding him back into the corner. Showtime then
whips him off the ropes and downs him with a big back body drop as he
returns. Dulberg gets up again, but Showtime again downs him with a
dropkick! This time, Dulberg crawls to his corner and makes the tag to
Mike Grieco. However, seeing this, Showtime listens to the pleas from his
partner and tags James Biamonte into the match!
Troy: Alright, here
we go! Grieco and Biamonte!
Ferrara: Both of
these pairs will meet in singles action at Meltdown this Saturday, but nothing
is more intense than this Grieco-Biamonte rivalry!
Biamonte
and Grieco go at it hard in the ring, slugging it out, each man trying to
one-up the other. Finally, Biamonte pounds Grieco into the ropes and
charges at him, and the two both go tumbling over the top rope and to the outside
of the ring! They brawl furiously on the outside of the ring, ignoring
the referee's count. Meanwhile, inside the ring, Jon Dulberg and Showtime
step inside and begin duking
it out violently. Before long, the referee has lost complete control, his
count reaching ten, ending the match in a double count-out.
* WINNERS: DOUBLE COUNT-OUT *
With
that, Vladimir Vydrina steps into the ring and attacks Showtime from
behind. Dulberg and Vydrina do a vicious two-on-one number on Showtime,
leaving him defenseless, as Grieco and Biamonte battle through the crowd.
Showtime is left in a heap of helplessness in the ring as Rodney King and
cohorts stand tall while we cut to commercial.

BREAK --
Returning from break, we find Scythe in his dressing room, lacing up his boots
for his title shot against Hollywood Mike Griffin for the PWA Championship
later tonight. As he does so, the door to his dressing room opens, and in
walks The Iceman Jason Calysto, the title's challenger this Saturday at
Meltdown, who does not look pleased.
Scythe: Hey Jay,
what's up?
Calysto: Don't hey
Jay me, I'm not in the mood. You know Scythe,
where do you get off?
Scythe: What are you
talking about?
Calysto: You know I
have this title shot set for Saturday at Meltdown, and you demand a title shot
here tonight to end your self-imposed exile. Do you have any idea of the
implications that has on my title shot now?
Scythe: I'm assuming
if I win, I'll just be inserted in
Calysto: Wrong.
I just finished talking to Kerry Cox. He said the order has just been
handed down from Bryan Conroy that if you win tonight, the PWA title match at
Meltdown becomes a triple threat match. That's you, me and him, triple
threat, first pin wins. And just like that, I lose my one-on-one shot.
Scythe: So what
exactly are you saying?
Calysto: Nothing
really. Just that you winning tonight would make regaining my title on
Saturday more difficult than it should be. Plus, I've wanted
Scythe: Well, I
appreciate your honesty. But I will win.
Calysto: And if you
do, I'll still manage to come away with the belt on Saturday.
Scythe: I suppose
we'll see.
Calysto: Yes.
We will.
With
that, Calysto exits the room and we take another break.
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Back from the break, we are taken to the dressing room of Vulture and the
International Champion Jackie Baccaro.
Vulture: Well
nonetheless, we accomplished our goal.
Baccaro:
And if all goes well, Tantalus won't even make it back in time for
Everlasting Epic and will have to forfeit his title shot.
Vulture: I wouldn't
get my hopes up, Giacomo. Yes, we put Greg Tantalus on the shelf last
week and yes, there is no official timetable for his return, I would be shocked
to see all of July pass by without a Tantalus appearance. In fact, I'd be
shocked to see him miss more than a couple of weeks. But one thing's for
sure. When he does come back, he's gonna want a big piece of you.
Baccaro: And I won't
give it to him.
Vulture: And why not?
Baccaro: Because if
he wants something from me, I want something from him.
Vulture: And what's
that?
Baccaro: His
Everlasting Epic title shot on the line.
Vulture:
Precisely! This is going to work out even better than I thought.
Think about it, Giacomo. Come August 20, not only will you be the
International Champion, but you will also hold whichever world title you choose
to go after. The dominance has truly just begun.
Baccaro: I really
like the sound of that.
Vulture: I do
too. But we do have one thing standing in our way for now.
Baccaro: What's that?
Vulture: This six-man
tag. You've gotta team with Romeo and F.
Anthony Annetta tonight to face GI Jew, Renegade and Paul Dawkins. I
wouldn't look past this match, none of the three guys standing across from you
like you very much.
Baccaro: Yeah I know,
but it will be fine. I plan on sending Dawkins a message tonight.
Vulture: Good.
Baccaro: I thought
so.
Vulture: I'm gonna go
get something to drink, I'll be right back. When I get back, we'll talk
strategy.
Baccaro: Sounds good.
Vulture
then exits the room and we return ringside.
Troy: Our producers
want us to roll the footage, but I refuse to air that filth again.
Because that's what it is. Absolute filth.
But the jist of it is Speed Demon needed a partner to
take on Bishop Cross and Reaper. Loki offered his services. Loki
then turned on Demon, and a vile attack ensued.
Then, tragically, Dana Chapman ran to the ring to plead with the assailants to
cease the attack. She suffered for that. The two were beaten and
beaten badly, left unconscious and bloodied in the ring to the point where we
truly believed we would never see them again. Well folks, tonight, we
update you on their conditions.
Ferrara:
As it's looking now, we weren't far off with our estimates last
week. Both suffered massive internal injuries. From what we've been
told -- and details are sketchy at this point -- Dana Chapman spent the week
slipping in and out of a coma. However, thankfully, she is reportedly
conscious now, but a return to the PWA is considered highly doubtful. As
I said, details are sketchy, and we know very little about Dana's state of mind
and condition, but it is considered likely that we have seen the last of Dana
Chapman inside a PWA ring.
Troy: As for Speed
Demon, he is battered, bruised, suffered internal bleeding, and endured 58 stitches
under his eye to close a long gash caused by a steel chair. The doctors
have said Demon will now brandish a long, hideous scar for the rest of his life
because of it. As bad of shape as Demon came to the hospital in, however,
he has been fueled by the desire to get better so that he can take care of
Dana, and is making a quicker recovery than expected. However, as this
point, we are told that, due to Demon's current state of mind, it is uncertain
when or if Demon will ever return to the company.
Ferrara:
As you can see, the Army of the Damned has taken these two lives and
turned them completely upside down, with no regard for anyone or anything but
themselves.
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
Back from the break, boos flood the air as Andrew Lloyd Webber's "Phantom
of The Opera Overture" creeps in over the speakers. Bishop Cross walks out
first and stands in the middle of the stage as Reaper and Loki each stand next
to him. The Army of The Damned arrives in full, and exudes evil as they march down the ramp and step into the ring. Loki grabs a
microphone and the lights come back up, but he doesn't get a chance to speak
over the crowd, which hurls insults and profanities their way.
Loki: This is my first
chance to talk to a crowd since coming back, so would all of you morons do me a
favor and shut the hell up?! (Crowd boos) Now, I came back to the PWA to do one
thing, and that one thing was dominate. Sure, I mentioned that Bishop
Cross eliminated me in the Symphony of Destruction and took away a potential
title shot, but none of you know what else he did. In those same three seconds
in which he eliminated me, Bishop Cross also opened my eyes. He opened my eyes
to see what was around me, and showed me the path to true dominance. I saw what
he did to his opponents in the ring; ask Damien Fields if this man is dominant
or not. So after seeing that, and then watching Reaper be the only man to
realize it, I jumped at the opportunity that he offered me and joined The Army
of The Damned. (Crowd boos) Oh spare me your jeers
people. Each and every one of you is the reason I made this choice. It was you
that watched me win title after title in this ring, but how did you support me?
Did you ever buy my merchandise? No! Anybody have a Loki big foam hand out
there? Never! So don't sit there and judge me for my actions, because any of
you could end up just like Speed Demon or whatever his little girlfriend's name
was!
Reaper: It was so simple.
It was all laid out for you Dan. All you had to do was follow me and you could
have rejoined me atop the tag team scene here in the PWA..
What I did with you wasn't personal at first. I just made a career choice to
benefit the both of us. But did you do that? No, you made a selfish choice and
chose your stupid little bimbo of a girlfriend. You turned your back on me
Speed Demon, it was not the other way around! And
because of your choice, I am here standing tall, and you aren't standing at
all. Good riddance!
Cross: You can't say you
weren't warned. I have said for weeks that the Army of the Damned was coming to
take over the PWA, and now, we are here. We have taken three people that you
all labeled as outcasts and have become what will be the most dominant force
this industry has ever witnessed! You saw what we did to Speed Demon and Dana
Chapman. That is just a small, small taste of what will come for anyone who
opposes us. They were just our first victims, and many, many more will follow.
You can either step up to us, or simply be mowed down. But for the superstars
of The PWA, your time will come. We guarantee it. We're so sure of it, that we
are saying right now that nobody back there is man enough to stand up to us!
You saw what we did to those two last week, nobody wants to be next. So keep
your fear and stay hidden in your corners, because ---
Cross'
words are halted once Slipknot's "Opium of The People" blasts over
the speakers and GI Jew comes out on his Chopper! The crowd is cheering wildly
as The ORA Champion rides down to the ring and parks his bike on the ramp.
GI
Jew gets off the bike and locks eyes with all members of The Army, which dares
him to enter the ring. He does so, but not before pulling a 10-foot
chain from the back of his bike and swinging it wildly around the ring! Cross,
Reaper and Loki all roll out quickly and GI Jew stands tall in a heated staredown that takes us into the next break.
-- COMMERCIAL BREAK --
We return to the ring, where GI Jew is pacing like a caged tiger as the crowd
continues to cheer what they just witnessed.
50
Cent's "Piggy Bank" plays next, bringing a rousing ovation for
Renegade as he walks down the ramp. The former Progressive Champion rolls
into the ring and pats GI Jew on the back before climbing up to pose
on the turnbuckles. Sevendust's "Black"
follows, and the cheers continue as Paul Dawkins makes his way to the
ring. He completes their team, and all three men look focused and ready to battle
as "Things Done Changed" by Biggie Smalls takes over the speakers. A
loud set of boos sets the scene for the arrival of Jackie Baccaro and Vulture,
who smugly pose in front of the familiar gold fireworks as the jeers grow in
number.
Troy: And
just after The Army of The Damned leaves, these two jackasses come out.
Ferrara: I'm not even gonna
get into the reasons you said that, we just know that Jackie Baccaro is set to
defend his International Championship against his former partner Paul Dawkins
at Meltdown this weekend. Both will be looking for the momentum tonight,
because we know how things happen whenever they face off.
Baccaro
removes his title belt and holds it high as three D-Bombs drop and explode
behind him and B.G.'s "I Want It" booms
over the PA system. The reaction is the same as Romeo and F. Anthony Annetta
march out from the back, but they also look all business as they meet Baccaro
on the ramp and come into the ring, where a brawl immediately breaks out!
* ORA WORLD CHAMPION GI
JEW, RENEGADE & PAUL DAWKINS VS. ROMEO, INTERNATIONAL CHAMPION JACKIE
BACCARO & F. ANTHONY ANNETTA *
REFEREE: MATT HANSEN
Romeo
and GI Jew begin a furious exchange of closed right hands while Renegade and
FAA do the same with hard chops, but it is Dawkins and Baccaro who tear into
one another the hardest. Baccaro rocks Dawkins with a huge right hand, but one
he charges his former partner, he is met by a big back body drop that lands him
down hard on the arena floor! Vulture helps Baccaro to his feet, but has no
option but to back off as Dawkins hits the ropes and tears through Baccaro with
an amazing suicide dive through the ropes to the floor!
Ferrara: I have no idea
what has gotten into him tonight; the guy usually has less passion than a rock,
but I think it’s safe to say that Dawkins is putting himself in the best
position possible to regain the title at Meltdown.
Things
settle down in the ring as Renegade and Annetta are left to battle it out.
Renegade has the advantage as he whips Annetta to the ropes, but The Lieutenant
Commissioner reverses it and scores with a big clothesline on his return. FAA
covers for a two count, but not many are watching as Dawkins and Baccaro
continue their fight all the way to the backstage area as Vulture follows.
Romeo
gets the tag and takes over on Renegade, leveling him with heavy right hands
before shooting him to the ropes and nailing a big powerslam!
He covers, but also gets a count of two before signaling for his reverse Death
Valley Driver. He scoops Renegade up onto his shoulders for the DVD, but
Renegade slips out and evens the score with a crescent kick to the face that
puts Romeo on his back!
GI
Jew is nearly salivating at the chance to get his hands on Romeo, and Renegade
crawls over to give him that chance. He makes the tag, but so does FAA. Romeo
rolls out of the ring before GI Jew can get to him, but Annetta has a huge
problem on his hands as The ORA Champion runs in and downs him with a
clothesline!
Annetta
gets up and walks into a big scoop slam, and GI Jew looks to end things early
as he sets up for The Gore. Annetta reaches his feet slowly and Romeo tries to
shield him, but he is taken down by a flying tackle from Renegade and FAA has
no defense for his midsection as GI Jew levels him with The Gore! Bryan Conroy
darts out to the ring with Helen Summers in tow, but he is knocked down from
the ring apron with a right hand from GI Jew, who promptly covers Annetta for
the 1--2--3!
* WINNERS VIA PINFALL: GI JEW, RENEGADE & PAUL DAWKINS *
Troy: I know he's been
wanting to do that for a long time, but he picked up the win as well! Wait a
second, what the hell is this now?!
Before
any celebration can commence, GI Jew gets up and is instantly blindsided by an
incoming Bishop Cross! Romeo and FAA quickly exit with Conroy and Summers, but Reaper and Loki join in as well to assault GI
Jew with reckless abandon! Renegade slides back into the ring to help, but is
caught with a huge Atheist superkick from his blind
side, courtesy of Loki!
GI
Jew gets up and tries to fight back, but he is clubbed from behind by Reaper
and falls right into the clutches of Bishop Cross, who lifts him up and tries
to snap his neck with The Crossfire! GI Jew falls face
down on the canvas and Reaper crushes his head down with The Last Breath
somersault legdrop as he comes in off the top rope!
Renegade begins to stir, but Loki quickly lifts him up and slams him down hard
with The Morningstar! Before the beating can continue even further, a swarm of
officials flock to the ring to remove the Army of The Damned, but each man
relishes in their handiwork, leaving Renegade and Jew battered and motionless
as we head to a break.
